LADIES AND THE FAIR.
They Are Actively Mt Work for the
LODGES.


The ladies' auxiliaries of two of the Ma
sonic Lodges met yesterday afternoon in
the interest of the Masonic Fair. The la
dies of Solomons Lodge, OF which Mrs.C.S.
Richmond is chairman, met at o'clock,
and those of Zerubbabel, of which Mrs.
r. a. Stovail is at the head, gathered enc
hour later Both meetings were excellen;ly
attended. AS the ladies of both of these
lodges had been thoroughly organized at
previous meetings no time was spent in
this work yesterday
MT N. f. Martin. the manager of the
fair, distributed a large number of looks
among those present. From the ent1us-
iasm shown he has no doubt that tn ese
books will be quickly sold out, but as he
Is daily adding to the supply he will have
no dlhlculty in keeping up with the de-
mand for new books.
The Masonic Committee has been I'M
able to secure the store in the Whitfield
block that it was at first intended To
use for unpacking and tagging the dona-
lions, but have secured instead one of
the large basement rooms of the De Soto,
where, beginning to-day. the work of pre-
pairing the gifts Tor the booths will be be-
gun. Mr. Martin is very anxious that all
merchants and others who have now in
their possession donations for the fair
would send them to him az the De Soto.
Work on the building in the Park Elk
tension is progressing quite rapidly. The
builder, Mr.. Henry Bartlett has no doubt
that it will be finished by the time orig
inally set for its completion, next Satur-
day, or, al the latest, Monday afternoon.

Company D of the Savannah Volunteer
Guards will probably hold an election next
Monday night to fill the vacant captaincy
caused by the resignation OF Capt. Henry
Blum, Jr., First Lieutenant Wright Hunter
has been prevailed upon by the members
Of the company to accept the captaincy,
and there is now no doubt that he will do
so. Lieut.. Hunter hesitated for awhile
because of his business
1t is the plan 10 advance Second Lieuten-
ant W. l.. Pritchard to the first Lieutenant
cy if Lieut.. Hunter is made captain. The
promotion will come speedily for him, as
he has been in the state service for but a
few months, having gone with other men,
bers of the Lawton Cadets, of whom he
was captain, to the Guards. His service,
however, has been long enough for him -
show conclusively that he is eminently
qualified TO hold a commission.

line for the second lieutenancy, and it is
the purpose of his friends to work in his
interest Sergt. johnson has been a mem

Mr. e. A. We'll, the newly elected coun-

Ministers Have Matters of More Inn
pOrtance on Hand.

In yesterdays telegraphic news it was
stated that the Atlanta Evangelical Asso-
citation had decided TO make common
cause against ''Sappho,' Daudet's famous
novel, and other books that it considered
immoral, and that it would try 10 induce
the newsdealers to discontinue the sale Of
them in that city.
1t was thought that the Ministers Asso-
citation of this city might have considered
the advisablity of a similar movement
here, but inquiry among the members re-
vealed the fact that no such move is con-
templated, nor has il been considered
mot that there isn't room for 1t, said
one of the ministers, but we are a [ present
quite busy with other affairs on which we
have already embarked, and which we
hope to bring to a successful termination
before we undertake any new work. To
spread our energies over too broad field
would be to waste them"
In connection with this crusade against
Sappho some idea of its popularity in Sa-
vannah may be of interest. Inquiry at
the Georgia Historical Library disclosed
the fact that there was not copy there,
nor had there been sufficient calls for it
to cause it to be brought up before the
committee for the purchase of books
But in spite of this fact its sale at the
book stores and the news stands have
been little less than phenomenal. con-
sentative estimate places the number at
1000, and it is probably nearer 1,500. These
figures refer to the cheap edition only,
and have nothing to do with the better
editions that may have been purchased
as permanent additions to private libra
ries.
At one of the book stores yesterday
colored minister called for a copy of the
novel. He said he wanted to find out
whether it was a proper book 10 be read

This firm has decided TO sell all imported

Is quite an acquisition for our Savannah

Lippman Brothers have something espe-

nothing like this has ever been imported
In these parts before. 1t has the most

The Jury Then Discharged by Judge
Speer for the Term

Three indictments were returned by the
grand jury I'm the United States District
Court yesterday. After the return of these
indictments and the reading Of the grand

was discharged by Judge Speer for the
term, with The thanks of the court.
The most important of the three indict-
ments returned was that against Harry
Belmont Harry Nelson and John Perry,
charged with breaking and entering the
postoffice at DELLA. The men are charged
specifically with obtaining stamps to the
value of $lO2, though it Is known that
their actual receipts were much larger
The case has been so much written up
that extensive comment would be super
fuous.
The grand jury also returned indictments
against o. +. Williams for fraudulently
obtaining possession of a letter from the
postoffice at Folkston. and against Rob
ert Jones, charging him with obstructing
the delivery of the mail at Valdosta. 1t

EASE AND DISEASE
A Short Lesson ON the Meaning
OF q Familiar " OrId.

Disease is the opposite of ease.
Webster defines disease as "lack
of ease, uneasineso, trouble, vexa-
ton, disquiet. 1t is a condition
due to some arrangement of the
physical organism. A vast major
ity of the "dis ease" from which
people suffer is due to impure
blood. Disease of this kind is
cured by Hood'SSarsaparilla which
pufifes, enriches and vitaIizeS the
blood. Hoods Sarsaparllla cures
serofula, salt rheum, plnples and
all eruptions. 1t tones the stom-
aeh and creates good appetite,
and it gives vigor and vitality to
the whole body 1t reverses the
condition of things. giving health,
comfort and lease" in place of
disease"

HOME TRIES.

A walnut Hill resident made nt
his mind a few days ago to begin
taking ice from the local ice trust.
Having various brands of bottled
goods in his refrigerator, he
thought it best to have the iceman
leave the Ice on the back porch.
Accordingly he came down town
one morning and, dropping into a
hardware store, purchased az pair
OF ice tongs.
"'m going to carry my own ice
into the house and put it into nv
refrigerator" he said in explana-
tiGu Of his purchase.
Two or three days later he again
entered the store, bringing the ice
tongs With him Walking up to
the clerk who had sold him the
toys, the man said;
"Say, I made mistake when l
bought these things. I don't need
pair of ice tongs; what need is
a sponge. Omaha World Herald.
