Mr.. Henry clews In his weekly elrcu-
lar. in speaking Of the business and
commercial condition of the country at
the present moment, and more especial
~ of AFFAIRS on the New York stock ex-
change, observes that 1t is nothing new
to have a period of trade depression fol-
lowed by run of prosperous activity.
But" says Mr.. clews. I'VE have never
before witnessed situation in which
this kind ofrevlval has existed upon
scale of such magnitude as we now
witness. We are now only in the be-
ginnlngs of this reaction; and for that
reason 1t may be expected that the
movement win run on for a consider
able period before 1t reaches the point
of overriding. During the interval, the
excitement attending such condition
Of things can hardly fail to develop bull
speculations in every direction, but es-
peclally in Wall street. The profits of

Sam Jones, the picturesque indepen-
dent candidate for governor of Ohio, is
working an ancient scheme in his can
vass. He is telling the people, espectai-
ly those who are employed by others,
that they are Ill treated. 1t is an easy
gospel to preach because,lt arouses one
of the most potent and widespread
characteristics of human nature. Many
times has 1t raised political adventures
who have used 1T into power. This
leads the Cleveland Leader to remark:
but have such men as is Sam Jones
ever fulfilled their promises. implied
even IL not specifically made7 II never
has been possible for them to do 30,
and never will be. The causes are al
ways beyond their reach. even IL they
desire to get at them, which is seldom
the case. So 1t is with Jones. He may
be able to arouse discomfort, but he
knows, even II his deluded followers do
not, that he would not be able to meet
the expectations he seeks to cause II
he we're made governor Of Ohio for
life"

woRsH1PpED rx.THE MEMORIAL.
Congregation Used the Building Yes
terday the First Time.

The Lawton Memorial was occupied yes
terday by the congregation of the Second
Presbyterian Church and religious ser
vices were held in the building for the
first time
Despite the fact that the weather at the
hour of the morning service was very
threatening, there were many present. At
night there was an even larger congrega-
ton and the spacious Memorial, with its
extensive seating capacity, was well filed
The lighted building is especially beauti-
full, the walls and ceiling being of a per-
feet wilderness and throwing back every
ray Of the brilliant and numerous electric
lights that are employed for its illum-
ination.
Rev. w. A. Nisbet, pastor of the Second
Church, conducted both services. He and
most of the members of his congregation
felt great satisfaction in being at last able
to worship in the handsome building,
which they had been expecting for some
months to be turned over 10 them. There
are few of the members who regret the
tact that the Memorial has not been dedi-
Gated TO the service of the Lord. but they
are in the minority The little church they
leave for the Memorial was dedicated. and
Al tial tney WorShlpped Tor many years.
The pastor does not agree with the
members Of his congregation who would
prefer to worship in a dedicated house.
he holds that his congregation is the
church, that this is dedicated TO God and
that there is no reason why the place of
worship should be considered. No build
ing, truly speaking, said Mr. Nisbet, is a
church. II is the body of people that wor-
ships under some special form that con-
stitute the church He is pleased with
the bright prospects that seem to be held
out for his church and thinks it fortunate
that the opportunity for securing such
handsome building was offered.
Beginning April there will be a series
or revival meetings a the Memorial. The
services will be of union character. The
First Presbyterian Church joining with
the congregation of the Second. Rev. DR..
Nathan Bachman of Sweetwater, Tenn,
a preacher who has had great experience
as reyivalist, has been invited to come
TO this city for the purpose of conducting
the services. He will be assisted in his
work by the pastors of the churches for
which he will hold the services. Twice
day while DR.. Bachman is here tine SER
vices will be held. The afternoon services
will be al the First Church, while those of
the evenings will be at the Memorial

IN THEIR NEW AUDITORIUM.
First Presbyterian Congregation
Again at Home.

The congregation of the First Presbyte-
rian Church worshipped yesterday In the
renovated auditorium. Services were held
in the morning and at night. though the
gregation in the evening was much the
larger The church was comfortably fill
ed, and the service was very interesting
A special musical programme had been
arranged. and was rendered in an attract
i've manner. The singing by Mrs. Mize,
the soprano of the choir, was particularly
admired.
The congregation was given a number of
printed programmes of the evening serv-
ices. The pastor Rev. Arthur J. Smith,
stated that programmes win be dstribut-
ed regularly al the evening services here
after, and he extended pressing invita-
ton TO all to join with the First Church
in worship on these occasions. Music will
be the special feature of the services, and
no pains will be spared to make 1t of
high order of excellence. The solos sung
last night by Mrs. Mize were Il win Elk
tol Thee and MY Boy Has Wandered
Far" Mr. Byrnes, baritone, sang as an
offertory, "Oh, Thou Eternal"
The sermon at the evening service was
upon Temptation" and was delivered by
the pastor as lesson to young men par
ticularly He held that TO be tempted is
not a sin, that the sin lies In the yielding.
To feel a desire to do wrong is not the
commission of a sin. but the conquering
of the desire is commendable. The pas
tor advised that young men avoid idleness,
saying that the old proverb of an idle
brain being the DEVILS workshop is true,
and that no better opportunity for temp
tation to do it's evil work can be offered
than through idleness. He advised that
their time be spent in such manner as
TO allow no evil thought to creep into their
minds, counseling young men to take up
music or reading to spend their spare mo-
ments profitably and agreeably No books
should be read that are not known con-
clusively to be of the best character. how
ever. The Bible was recommended as the
best book, but the pastor said. while it
should not be read to the exclusion of all
others, It should be read if any book is
to be. Prayer as a relief from temptation
was commended TO young men.
A rally of the Sunday school was had i'm
the afternoon at its usual hour for meet
ing. For several months, owing to the
Improvements that were in progress in the
auditorium, the school has been unable
to hold such meetings as the officers have
desired. The lecture room Is not large
enough to admit of all the Classes being
taught there. so the children have been
badly crowded. The opening of the audi
forum affords an opportunity for its use
as a Sunday school room, and hereafter
there will not be the trouble of insufficient
space.

He Says New Telephone System
VIII BE Established in savannah.
Mr.. w. A. Bisbee, who is back of the
Georgia Telephone Company, Is lnvesti-
eating the details of an underground teIe-
phone system. The Georgia company OBJ
tanned conditional franchises from the city
for an overhead and underground system,
but the present Council revoked the right,
so far as 1t related to the overheard work.
Some quiet work is now being done by
Mr.. Bisbee, but he is not ready to give
out the details of it. During his recent
absence in Washington he secured the
services of MIR. Phelps, skilled electrical
expert, in charge of city subways Mr..
Phelps is investigating conditions in Sa-
vapnah, with view to submitting plans
for an underground telephone system and
It is expected he win soon have his work
in shape for Mr.. Bisbee. As soon as 1t Is
completed the way for additional steps in
establishing the new telephone will have
been opened The work now being done
Includes an estimate of the probable cost
of the system the new company proposes
10 construct, and viii furnish data neces-
sary for Mr.. Bisbee to have in carrying out
his plans
THE fact | have been away for few
weeks does not indicate an abandonment
of my enterprise said Mr.. Bisbee yester-
day. Il feel confident my undertaking
will be given every reasonable encourage
ment by the present Council, which 1 be-
leve has the material interests of the city
at heart. A new enterprise cannot be ex-
pected 10 make rapid strides al the start
but we intend to stick TO our knitting, and
with cooperation from the citizens OF
Savannah, which l feel confident 1 will
get a new line will soon be constructed
and In operation. There is opposition to a
new company. and every obstruction may
be thrown In the way of our movements
but we do not intend 10 be bafied. The
new company will be operated in the in
terest of the citizens of Savannah, and
while the object is to establish a paying
business, ii is believed we can do this al
much less rates than are now being
charged for telephone service.
There are a few matters l will bring
to the attention of the City Council latei
on" Mr. Bisbee said, but l am not pre-
pared to say anything concerning then
now. Preparations are being made to pro
coed with the work, however, and If un.
foreseen hindrances do not intervene. the
company will be ready to let contract:

Archie Mclean, foreman of the paint
ers employed on the interior decoration OF
the new government building, fell from
the third story yesterday morning and
was instantly killed Mclean was an en-
pioye of the Anderson Construction Com
pany, which has the contract for that por-
ton of the work.
A few days ago Mclean had been APP
pointed foreman of the painters, and in
consequence felt a warm interest In the
promptitude with which the work was
carried to completion. On account of the
rapidly with which material had come in,
the painting had fallen somewhat behind,
and Thursday Mclean had asked Mr.. An
derson. superintendent of the construction
company in charge of the work, 20 allow
him and his men to work part of sun
day This request Mr.. Anderson had not
allowed, but McLean's enthusiasm was
not to be daunted, and Saturday he in
structed the men under his charge to re-
port in the morning.
Mclean arrived about o'clock and at
oEce prepared FOR work. A fellow work
man named E. +. johnson was with him.
johnson stepped into an adjoining room
of the building to put on his working
clothes. while Mclean prepared TO mount
to the third floor The stairs nave not
been put in. and there is an open shaft
where they are to be. A ladder leads up
this shaft and this Mclean mounted As
he began the ascent no one was in sight.
johnson, in the room next to the shaft
suddenly heard the noise created by the
fall of some heavy body and rushed out
10 see McLean's fallen and fearfuly man
gled form. He was lying one the floor
of the building with his head crushed al
most TO a pulp. He had been instantly
killed. 1t is surmised that he had been
attacked with a vertigo as he prepared
TO step from the ladder to the third floor
His blood and brains were spattered on
the walls of the shaft and the floor
Policeman Umbach who was passing
the building, entered soon after the acct
dent and was followed by Coroner Goette.
The latter investigated the accident, and
dc cided that there was no need for IN
irquest The funeral of the unfortunate
man will take place this morning The
interment will be in Laurel Grove ceme-

Mclean came TO Savannah from Boston
about three months ago. For two months
of this time he had been working for the
Anderson Construction Company, and had
recently been promoted TO be foreman. He
was native of Glasgow, Scotland. and

HARDING CLEAR OF SUSPICION.
1t Does Not Appear He Tried to Fire
His Place on Bryan Street.

II. H Harding. colored, who was before
Fire Marshal Mcguire for an investiga-
ton of the cause Of a fire in the house he
occupies at No. 566 Bryan street, west,
has been dismissed. 1t seems that while
the circumstances warranted an investi-
CATION, the facts were not such as to fix
suspicion on Harding.
Harding stated at the Morning News Of
fee that the lamp found under mis- bed
after the fire had been extinguished was
not intact The chimney had not been
broken, but the lamp was smashed. II
seems also that the hremen did not have
TO exinguish the blaze. Harding pitched
In himself, and had the fire out bv the
time the department arrived. He SAYS the
alarm was given as a precaution. 1t turns
out from the investigation that there is
no reason for suspecting him of an At
tempt TO fire the place. and this will prob
ably be the report Supt. Mcguire win
make.
