clan in Savannah was to stand up here
and profess repentance and a desire to
change his life to that of a Christian you
could not doubt his sincerity If he were to
say: And 1 dedicate half of all that
have to the Lord"
Zaccheus was converted but did not, so
far as we know, give up his office. He
was unlike a chairman of Democratic
executive committee of a certain county
who believed he had been converted. He
knew that the methods he had resorted to
i'm politics were not right. He called the
committee together and told them that he
must resign as he had concluded that he
couldn't be a Democratic county chair
man and a Christian al one and the same
time. He was demonstrated with and adj
vised to put religion into his politics, but
to no avail. He quit and thanked God
that he was not like the politicians. But
it was not long before he spied good fat
Office, and then, like Zaccheus up in the
tree, he heard call, and he came down
quickly from his high resolve and an
nounced that if the people wished he
would accept that Office and give it dignity
and honor. He eschewed politics and then
came back to politics with all its old
methods Zaccheus chose the better
course. He staid in but kept his religion
with him at all times.
Dr. Jordan closed with the expression
of the belief that il is possible for even a
politician, even a dishonest, ward heller
to be saved. Christ came into the world
to save the worst of sinners and his blood
can wash away the sins of a politician.

Caroline Moon Cremated in Her
Home Near the Car Works.

gia Car Works, on the place of Mr.. Fred
Grewe. night before last. The place was
rented by John Moon and was occupied
by him and his wife
Moon told Coroner Goette yesterday that
he went home early Saturday night and
went to bed. His wife was cooking fish
before an open fire place in the kitchen
when he retired. Some time later he awoke
and found the room filled with smoke. Get
ting up 10 investigate, he looked into the
kitchen and saw his wife lying before the
fireplace with her clothing burning. The
locked up the house before he went to bed
and he was nearly suffocated by the smoke
before he could unfasten the door and get
out. He screamed for help when he got
on the outside but the place Immediately
burst into flames.
The Waterman at the Georgia Car
Works and others ran to the scene, but
were too fate to be of any assistance. The
house was burned with all its contents
and so was the barn, which caught from
the house. Moons mule, which was in the
barn, was about the only thing saved a
large number of chickens We're burned up
in the barn.
Moon said the only explanation he could
offer was that his wife might have had a
fit and fallen in the fire. The man was
very much distressed. and there was no
suspicion of any foul play on his part. The
Waterman at the car works said that he
saw the blaze and ran to the house. hui
was too late 10 be of any assistance. The
body of the woman was almost entirely
cremated, there being but few bones left
These were turned over TO the band for

HEARD A CHAPLAIN AT WESLEY.
Rev. e. w. White of the Thirty-First
Michigan Preached Last Night.

Rev. f. w. White of the Thirty-First
Michigan Preached Last Night.
Rev. Ed f. Cook announced yesterday
morning at Wesley Monumental Church
that the chaplain of the Thirty-frst Mich
igan Regiment, Rev E. W. White, would
preach at night. Mr.. Cook especially in
vited the morning congregation to attend
the evening service, and there were many
out to hear the chaplain.
Mr. Cook spoke of the pleasure it had
afforded him to learn that the Michigan
regiment would not go aboard its trans
port yesterday, as he had intended in
wiling the chaplain 90 preach and was
particularly DESTROYS that his congrega-
ton might have the opportunity to hear
him. The pastor referred TO the close
friendship that had existed in camp be-
tween the First Georgia, of which he was
chaplain. and the Thrty-first Michigan.
During this time he had learned to know
Chaplain White ultimately and had ascer-
tanned his worth as a man and ability as
a preacher.
Chaplain White began by saying it had
afforded him great pleasure to accept the
pastors invitation, as it had been long
since he had stood before a church con-
gregation. His service i'm the regiment has
covered some eight months and during
that time his audiences had been made
up of soldiers. The chaplain also touched
upon the reception that has been extended
the men of his regiment since they have
been here, and said he wished the people
of Savannah might know them better, for
they would find them to be noble fellows.
Mr.. Cook was paid a compliment by the
chaplain. who said his work with the
First Georgia had been very successful
and that his influence had been for great
good.
The text for the chaplain's sermon was
taken from John II. IS: THE Master is
come, ana calleth for thee" This mes
sage. the preacher said, has been a COM
fort to HIM in his ministry and to many
others. His sermon was. replete with illus
traton Of the faith of Mary and with in
functions that il be made a part of the
lives of his hearers. His address was
pleasing and delivery calm and logical
The congregation was impressed and ex-
pressed satisfaction in having had the
chaplain to fill the pulpit.

years of age, committed suicide night be
fore last by taking paris green at his
boarding house, No. 547 Orange street

condition DR.. Wahl was summoned. but
the man was dead when he arrived. Be
fore he died Going said that he had taken
cents worth of paris green. This state
meut was confirmed by evidences of the

clothing.
Coroner Gootte investigated the case
and found a telegram in the dead mans
pocket informing him that he could get a
position on the IroQuos. The telegram
was signed James Going. Coroner Goe te
concluded that the sender of the telegram
was a brother Of the dead man. He as
certained that the Iroquois was one of the
steamships OF the Nal Clyde Line. plying
between jacksonville Charleston and New
York. and telesraphed James Going at
both Charleston and jacksonville. He re-
ceived reply last night from James Co
ing az Jacksonville, saying: Bury George

When the elephant is pursued on foot,

the short repose it takes during the 24
hours. The hunter. having tracked his
quarry to its retreat is obliged to use
the utmost stealth in approaching it,

sound
The difficulty of moving through Il
dense. thorny jungle without making
any sound dissimilar to those which
might be produced by nature, such as
the stirring of the branches by light
breeze or the occasional falling of a
dead leaf, is greater than can be realized
by any one who has not tried it.

A Sister Lost.

AT one time, when two Cheyennes got
to gambling, one lost, and luck seemed
to be against him. After he had lost
every piece of property he had, in des-
pe1ation he put up his sister and lost
her. This aroused great Indignation
through the tribe, but no one intimat-
ed that the unfortunate girl should not
go and live as the wife of the man who
had won her in game of cards.
Over 90 years ago the writer was SUI
perintendent of the Arapahoe Indian
school at Darlington during period of
five years. During this time not less
than four young Indian women came
to the school, asking admittance and
protection from marriage that was
about to be forced upon them. The pro-
lection was given, and the young wo-
men afterward married according to
their own choice. Since then these
tribes have been gradually breaking
away from their original customs until
now they are married with the lawful
marriage rites. Southern Workman
