THE LATE MIR. CAssELs.
Liberty County's Tribute of Respect
to Its Deceased Citizen.

Capt. A. Gordon Cassels returned to the
city yesterday from Liberty county, where
he attended the funeral of his father. the
late Robert Quarterman Cassels which
took place at the old Pennington Cemetery
Wednesday.
The deceased was one of the leading cit
liens of Liberty county and was widely
known and highly esteemed, not only by
his fellow citizens of Liberty, but through
out this section of the state as we'll The
high esteem in which he was held was
amply testified to by the large concourse
of people who attended the funeral To
the coiored people of his county Mr. Cas-
sells had been friend and adviser and
they demonstrated their respect for their
dead benefactor by the large numbers
which attended the funeral
The deceased was a successful business
man and planter and well known to the
business men of Savannah, by whom he
was held in high regard. A number of tel
egrams and letters of sympathy and con-
dolence were received by the family from
merchants of the city. The funeral is said

place in Liberty county in years, The
pallbearers were the elders and deacons Of

MORE CATHOLIC BISHOPS.
Several New Appointments Are Ex-
pected Soon.

pecfed soon.
A WASHINGTON letter to the New York
Sun is of general interest in Catholic
circles as well as of local interest to Sa-
vannah. Father Kelley, when seen late
yesterday afternoon, said he had no news
whatever. The letter refers TO the five
vacant sees, Savannah. Dubuque. Co
lumbus Nashville and Vancouver. Du-
buque being an archdiocese. The fol-
lowing statement is quoted from the Pa
pal Legate at Washington:
Besides the necessary appointment of
incumbents for these sees it is understood
that two coadjutor bishops are to be
chosen for the arch diocese of Chicago
and the diocese of indianapolis, respective
ly, by reason of the infirm health of their
rulers, Drs. Feehan and Chatard, the lat
ter of whom is Baltimorean by birth and
an early rector of the American College at
Rome.
The indications are that at no distant
day several new Episcopal sees will also
be founded in thet West, one of which, will
be Sioux City, Ia, now included in the
archdiocese of Dubuque, whose ruler died
recently. 1t is likewise probable that the
suffragan see of Omaha, Neb., will soon
be raised to metropolitan dignity although
this elevation of the diocese will not in
volve the appointment of an incumbent
there coincdentally, as the present bishop
of Omaha, Dr. Richard Scannell, will sim
ply be promoted 90 post Of honor similar
to that occupied by the fourteen other
archbishops of the country as rulers of
provinces.
when all these changes are made, as
expected, there will be over 100 Catholic
prelates in the United States, of whom
assistants to the actual incumbents, with
the prospect of succeeding them after
death. Indeed, the presence of SO many
coadjutors already in the provinces of
the country attracts considerable atten-
ton, while rejecting at the same time the
steady growth and expansion of the re-
spec<ive sees The principal archdiocese,
including New York, Baltimore, Philadel-
phia, Boston and New orleans, which were
the five earliest created in this republic,
have each coadjutor, the assistant pre-
late of Baltimore being also its vicar gen.
eral. while a dozen suffragan bishoprics
enjoy similar distinction.
las regards the prospective incumbents
of vacant sees as we'll as projected ones.
there is nothing definitely known at The
papal legation, nor will there be until the
official papers are received from Rome. A

Mrs. Ella Thatcher's Work for the
w G. T. T.


Mrs. Ella Thatcher, national superin-
tendent of the department. of Soldiers and
Sailors of the Woman's Christian Temper
anee Union. reached the city yesterday af-
ternoon and, under the auspices of the
local branch of the association, delivered
in the afternoon in the First Baptist
Church a lecture to women only on the
subject of purity.
The lecture was called THAT Boy and
Girl of Thine" and in it Mrs. Thatcher
told her audience that there should be
but one standard of purity for men and
women, and that the basic teachings for
such standard could be best inculcated
by teaching the children in the home such
truths as they ought to know.
Tonight, at the home of Mrs Webb,
No. us Oglethorpe avenue. west, Mrs.
Thatcher will speak of her work among
the soldiers and sailors. In this branch
of the union work Mrs. Thatcher has had
a wide and varied experience. her terri
tory covering not only the United States,
but also the Hawaiian Islands, Cuba and
the Philippines.
Mrs. Hatcher has received from Pres-
dent Mckinley in person, the privilege of
visiting all Warships, fortresses, and bar
racks for the purpose of prosecuting her
work. In organizing. unions, she has had
great success, one union alone in the Ma
tional Soldiers Home at Hampton, Va,
boasting a membership of 2S9, and sew
eral in other places having enrolled over
100 names each.
Mrs. Hatcher is now on her way to Gu
ba, and viii leave for that island as soon
as she has finished an engagement TO
lecture in St. Augustine.
The particular work on which Mrs.
Thatcher is now engaged, is a crusade
against the army canteen which is looked
on by herself, and the w. c.. 7. U. in
general as one of the worst of army fea-
lures. In speaking of the matter last
night, Mrs. Thatcher stated that not only
was the canteen condemned by the union,
but that some of the most prominent Off
GERS of the United States Army, including
among them, Gems. Miles. Shafter, Coz
bin, and Wheeler had unhesitatingly con-
demned it as being an evil that should be
eliminated Mrs. Thatcher claims that
not only is the sale of liquor hurtful to
the moral being of the men, but to the
physical also, and she fortifies her con-
illusions in this matter by quoting the
experiment of Gen. Kitchener during the
Egyptian campaign, who found that men
denied ell alcoholic beverages were health
Ter, and better stood the terrific heat
and long forced marches that were con-
stantly being made, than those who did
not abstain.
Mrs Thatcher will leave for ST. Angus
tine tomorrow morning.

A RARE LIFE INDEED.

CURED Wednesday afternoon at the home
Of Mrs. F. V. Woodbridge on Bolton
street.
In many respects the life of the deceas ed
was "a remarkable one. Born slave in
the Stiles family Sc years ago, she re-
manned with it until the day of her death.
She declined to leave the family to which
she was so greatly attached, though urged
and given every opportunity to do so dur
Ing the occupancy of Savannah by Sher-
mans troops near the close of war.
Though her father, himself urged her to
leave the family by which she had been
raised, she declined 10 do so. The re-
suits of the war and emancipation made
no difference to her. She continued to
serve those whom she loved without
wages, and was considered by them al
most as a member of the family. She
was well known to the friends of the
family, and was highly regarded by them.
Many regrets were expressed yesterday
at the news of her death, and number
of her white friends sent flowers.
The deceased was a member of the In
dependent Presbyterian Church, from
which she win be buried to-day, and was
well known to many of the members of
the church. Her life was an exemplary
one, kind, loving, pure and serupulously
honest. Instances of this kind are rare
indeed, though in former days they were
more numerous, but it illustrates the con-
ditions which often existed in the days OF
the old South, and the good results TO
both which followed association OH such
terms between the two races.

The stone work on the piers for the
Georgia and Alabama bridge across the
Savannah river will be finished to-day or
tomorrow. Masons have been engaged for
the last few days in pointing the piers,
which constitutes the finishing touches 10
stone work. When they have completed
their work the labor of several months
will be at an end.
Mr.. II. F. Holmes of Chattanooga has
executed his contract with the Georgia
and Alabama. He was the successful
bidder when the company invest igated
the bids that were submitted in answer 10
advertisements on the stone work. After
a few days he will go back to Chattanoo-
ga.
There are five of the piers three of
them very massive. They are to afford
the support for the great iron superstruc-
ture that is now being put IN place by the
expert labor sent from the bridge builders
at Youngstown for the purpose. Build
ing the piers was a tiresome and arduous
piece of work, and those employed upon it
and the railroad officials are glad it is
about completed.
Mr.. Truesdale is the Youngstown Bridge
Company's representative in charge of the
joining together of the sqperstructure. He
expects to have it finished by June l. The

employed for that purpose has not yet ar
rived.
1t is said the work on the bridge will
reach its most interesting stage in about
two weeks. A visit to watch It's progress
would doubtless be well rewarded. The
Georgia and Alabama is to cross the river
about two miles above the city. From the
Hermitage the bridge may be seen when
looking down stream.
Mr.. Hegeman, who has the contract for
the dredging. piling and wharf work for
the island terminals expects to fulfill it
by June 1. BY that. time one or more or
the warehouses that are TO be built along
the wharves and slips will be finished, and
the indications are that che terminals may
be in use by July I. Secretary W. w.
Mackall of the company said some days
ago that ii was expected that the DOM
pany would begin their operation by that
time.

AT THE THEATER.
Peters Comedy Company the Rest of
the Week.


The Peters Comedy Comany opened an
engagement. which will last through the
rest of the week, yesterday afternoon with
a matinee performance of the comedy
Wanted a Husband Last night the
company presented Fighting for a For
tune" There were good audiences at
both plays.
The Peters company, with Phil and Net
tie Peters as the main lights, have been
seen here frequently. The company is
about as good as the average popular-price
organization that has been here.
Phil and Nettie Peters We're seen in spe-
cialties that were of a very entertaining
sort and there We're various other special
ties introduced by Cam Bailey and the
Orient Female Quartette that were of a
good order.
A matinee will be given to-day and an
other performance this evening, at which
there will be a change of bill.
1t has been announced that Massanet.
the celebre ted Italian composer, is en-
gagged in writing an opera in which Nine.
Nevada will create the title role. Such
an announcement is fraught with inter-
est, not simply because of Nevada's
American re-entree, which has been the
musical event of the year. but because
it will give the diva an opportunity to
again associate her name with a repre-
sentative work of the most modern of
the present Italian school of composers.
The new opera is to be completed early
next month, and will be given it's first
presentation in Paris, shortly after Nine
Nevadas return to Europe at the compile
ton of her present American tour.
Few singers have had such an interest
ing and brilliant career as that of Neva-
do, and her appearance in Savannah next
Monday night will be an event here.
