W overnight jag book as he arose
yesterday morning from the
mourners' bench in Police Judge Gra-
hams court TO answer TO a charge of
disturbing the peace. He had a hand
painted left eye. his face was bruised
and swollen, his lower lip dropped like
motherless foals and his clothing
was torn, dust-covered and blood
bespattered.

full wedlock are illegitimate, and the fact
that a marriage contracted between two
persons, one OF whom has a husband or
wife living. is absolutely void, as was
done in the marriage OF Mrs. Dunno and
Hill, and hence their marriage is void and
the offspring is illegitimate.
In June Of 1897 Gratia Dunno and Ira
Lincoln Vance intermarried. and il has
been proved that at that time Jay Fred
Dunno was dead. In July of 1897 Mr.
Vance and his wife appeared before this
court and Ira Lincoln Vance was awarded
letters of adoption and the child named
Ira Leroy Vance"
In addition TO the legal rights of Mr.
Vance the court finds that II would not
be TO the best interest OF the child to
award him 10 other custody, and Mr.
Vance is granted his custody, together
with letters Of administration upon his
deceased wife's estate, she being his legal
wife by reason Of the fact that her first
husband, jay Fred Dunno, was dead at
the time Of their marriage.

THE QUEENS BIRTHDAY.
The Day Was Not Forgotten by 10y
al Britishers in savannah.

The Day Was Not Forgotten by 10y
al Britishers in Savannah.
The eightieth anniversary of the birth
of Victoria, Queen of Great Britain ana
Ireland and Empress of India was
not celebrated in Savannah yester-
day by any public demonstration. 1t
is not unlikely that had somebody sug-
gested it a celebration of some kind would
have been gotten up in honor of the day
and in honor of Britain's worthy Queen.
The fact was remembered by loyal Brit
ishers in Savannah, as in the world over,
however. The British flag was flying in
front of the British consulate, as well
as on the British ships on the river and
ships of other nations also hung out their
flags in honor of the foremost represen-
tative Of her sex in the world.
For more than half the life time of the
American republic Queen Victoria has
presided over the destinies of the mother
country on the other side of the water,
and the half century and more has been
the most prosperous of any period in the
history of either nation. When Queen
Victoria was born the young American re-
public was still in its early youth, not
withstaudiny which fact it had just chas-
ed the English troops out of the country
for the second time. In that day there
was no country which America hated
more than Great Britain and none with
which they were more likely to go to war.
To-day the Americans regard the English
as their greatest friends among the ma
tons of the earth and there is none with
which she is so little likely to go to war
as the one over which Queen Victoria
presides
Loyal Britishers everywhere drank yes
terday to 1.-THE Queen! God Bless her, ."
and thousands Of Americans joined them
In drinking the same toast.

Achieved Great Results.


Achieved Great Results.
The annual meeting of ST. Johns Rec
tory Society was held last night at the rec
tory, No IL CASTOR street. west Mrs. Da-
vid Wells, presiding.
The reports of the treasurer and presi-
dent were particularly interesting, as they
covered a period of fifteen years. being a
review of The history of The society. The
treasurer showed that nearly $4,000 has
been raised by the society during the hf.
teen years of lis existence, a record that
speaks Well for The devoted efforts of its
members, and one of which they are just
l. proud.
The society has been so fortunate in it's
work and las achieved so much of that
for which il has striven that it was decided
at the meeting to curtall It's !aboFs. Here
after there viii no suppers furnished. The
ladies feel that there is no further need
for them TO labor in that held.
A singular feature of ST. Johns Rectorx
Society is found in the long continuance of
its officers in the exercise of their func-
lions. Since lis organization the society
has mad identically the same officers with
one exception, and that change was ne
oessitated by a death. 1t was found soon
after the organization that a wise choice
was made when the board OF officers was
chosen, and there has never been anything
10 show that it would be well to make a
change. Re-elections may be counted upon
when the society holds It's annual meet

Those who constitute the board are Mrs,

ond secretary Mrs. c. II. Strong, first

WANT AN EXCURSION.
Bartenders want Sunday Outing
on the River.

The bartenders of the city are discussing
the formation of a bartender's association
and also Sunday excursion on the
river The latter is likely to be so. but
the former proposition does not seem TO
meet with much encouragement.
The bartenders say that other people
are having Sunday excursions and they
see no reason why they should not Indulge
in this form of recreation. 1t might be
A good idea for the saloonkeepers TO en-
courage the excursion in order to show to
the public that the services of their en-
ployes are not required on Sundays.
