IN HONOR OF VINCENT DE PAUL.
Feast Day of Unusual Interest to
savannah CRfhOliCs.


The feast of St Vincent de Paul was
observed in most Roman Catholic
churches yesterday. Last Thursday was
the regular feast day. but masses were
generally celebrated yesterday in honor
of the Saint
The festival has a special interest to
Savannah Catholics on account of the fact
that the Sisters of Mercy Convent is nam
ed in honor of the Saint. There was no
observance at the convent, however
Vincent de Paul is one of the eminent
saints of the Catholic Church. Born of
humble parentage at Pony. in Gascony, in
April, 1916, he became a great factor in
France and throughout the world in mis-
sionary enterprises and charitable works.
He was ordained priest in 1900, and on
voyage which he was making soon after
ward between Marseilles and Norbonne he
was captured by the corsairs and sold into
slavery at Tunis. His master renegade
Savoyard, yielded TO the eXhortations of
Vincent, and resolved to return TO the
Christian faith, so, escaping from Bar
barry, they landed in France in 1907. Soon
afterward he became the almoner Of Mar
guerite of Valois, and in 1919 he was ap-
pointed almoner general of hegalleys. The
tale is told that in 1922 he took the
place and wore the letters of a galley
slave, whose heart he had failed to reach
otherwise. Meanwhile he laid the founda-
ton of what has grown into the great and
influential congregation of Fathers of the
| Mission many of whom are now in China
| From 1852 he was devoted to the work of
charity and beneVoence and raised by his
own efforts several millions of francs.
To him Paris owes the establishment of
the Founding Hospital. The noble order
of Sisters of Charity was also founded by
st. Vincent He died at the age of So, at
ST. Lazare Paris He was canonized by
Pope Clement Kill in 1887

REPORT ON THE STATIONS.
Beaufort and Port Royal Show why
1t Shouldn't Be Moved.

The report on Port Royal naval sta
ton by the Citizens Committee of Beau
fort and Port Royal has been completed
and is now ready for presenta-
ton TO all concerned in neat volume
that represents a great deal of labor ex-
pended by the committee, the mbers
of which. from Beaufort, are William H
Lockwood, chairman; w. ]. Verdier,
Thomas Talbird, Micah jenkins, w. r.
Bristol, Robert Smalls Charles E. Dan
ner j. N. Wallace, A. P Prioeau, N.
Christensen, Jr C. C. Townsend and Will
liam P Warehouse, secretary, and. for
Port Royal, S. H. Rodgers, John Strick-
ley, F. w. Scheper, Jr.. and H. r.
Walker. The report was printed by the
Morning News.
The cover of the volume is decorated
with a picture of the battleship Indiana
as she appeared in the dry dock al Port
Royal, while a larger picture of the ship
appears on the inside. Several other half
tone reproductions of various buildings
and plants connected with the naval sta
ton are given, showing its completeness
and the great expenditures TO which the
government was put in the construction.
The object of the report, of course, is
to prevent the removal of the naval sta
ton to Charleston. In an introduce ION,
the communication from Admiral Enid
colt, chief of the Bureau of Yards and
Docks, which induced the Senate to hold
up the provision for Port Royal in the
naval appropriation bill, is set forth,
showing the admiral's reasons why a
board of officers should be appointed to
look into the relative merits of Charles
ton and Port Royal for the station
Following the introduction, the report
takes up the admrars objections to the
Port Royal station in detail, giving eight
arguments to controvert them. These ar
guments are followed by a statement
Containing Facts and Statistics" show
ing that Charlestons advantages over
Port Royal are by no means unquestioned.
Then comes a report made by the Secre-
tary of the Navy in 1886. showing extracts
referring to the Port Royal station and
dry dock. The report is closed by a CON-
paratiVe table of the naval dry docks in
the United States from which are de-
duced the advantages that some enjoy in
some respects over that of Port Royal, as
well as those that the Port Royal dock
enjoys over those at other places.
The people of Port Royal and Beaufort
are determined to fight the removal of
the station to the last ditch and the
showing they make is calculated to make
the board of officers give careful heed to
the claims of the two places before they
come to conclusion.

that the weeds have overgrown the crop

However. the melons will be there and
as few OF the aldermen know just where
the lines of park begin, they will never be
able TO know positively whether or mot
they are eating melons grown on that
property or some other. If the melons are
good enough and cold enough and there
is some thing to clear the aldermanic
throat of the dust of the roads. they will
probably be content; if these conditions
are absent the commissioners will find
their guests hard to satisfy that the coun-

Beginning with the present month en-
gineers on the Southern system will re-
ceive an advance from to 10 per cent.
in wages. This brings the pay up to the
figures that prevailed previous to 1898.
when general cut of 10 per cent. IN
wages of all employees of the road was
made About four weeks ago a commit,
tee of engineers, representing the various
divisions of the system, called on General
Manager Cannon at Washington and pre-
scented petition for the increase. Word
has now been received that the petition
is granted to take effect with this months
salary. There are $50 engineers in the en-
ploy of the Southern who will be effected
by the raise, which in the aggregate will
amount TO about $4,000 per year. The
men are, of course, highly pleased with
the company's action. The average
monthly pay roll of railroad engineers on
the system is $120, those on passenger
trains being rated the highest, at $50.
They get paid by miles travelled the
schedule being cents per mile on pas
senger engines 4 cents on through
freights and AZ cents on local frelghts
