THE TRAGEDY OF THE cross.
Lessons From Last Words of Christ
Discussed by DIR. Jordan.

The Tragedy Of the Cross" was the
subject of the sermon preached at the
Savannah Baptist Church last night by
the pastor, Rev. John D. Jordan. 1t was
rrefaced by the story of the crucifixion
found in st. Luke, which was read by the
pastor.
DR.. Jordan dwelt upon the last utter
ances of the Savior. enumerating them
and telling in graphic words of the scenes
and environment, the suffering and dread
condition. The lessons that may be drawn
from Christ's last words were named, and
the sermon was closed with an exhorta-
ton that all who have not done so com
mend their spirits to their Maker as did
Jesus when, with His expiring breath He
murmured, Father, into. Thy hands i
commend my spirit"
1t is customary for the last utterances
of any distinguished person to be record
ed, the pastor said, and those of the
Christ are fraught with mighty import
for He realized this and knew that what
He said on the cross would be spoken
through the ages. Refusing the proffered
vinegar and myrrh that was intended TO
steal away His senses, the Savior retained
COIlSClOuSileSS 10 the idSll anu II was
with mind as splendidly clear as when
expounding the law that He delivered His
last words
A description of the place and manner
Of the crucifixion was given and the in
suits and anathemas hurled at the Saw
Tor were spoken Of but from His heart
came the cry, Father. forgive them; for
they know not what they do" That, the
pastor said, shows the Christ knew His
prosecutors were blinded by the gods of
this world and was another plea sucn as
that embraced in the Sermon on the
Mount
Upon the conclusion of the service the
pastor asked that the congregation sub
scribe $125 needed to make up fund of
81 900 required to discharge a debt that
was incurred Iast year on account of ex-
traordnary expenses. While the pastor
retired to prepare to confer the ordinance
of baptism upon a young lady who was TO
enter the church, officers of the church
passed through the congregation taking
subscriptions. The amount needed was
secured.

Of insurance millions of dollars are taken
away from the South annually"
Mr.. Strong said that there is one con-
dition of affairs 10 be remedied. The
principle must be inculcated that the city
is not merely an aggregation of indi-
viduals. 1t is a solidarity, a unit Every
citizen is as much part of this unit rs
the limb of plant or of a human body
is a part OF that body. No one por-
ton of the body can suffer without all
suffering. Every membei of the com
munity is interested in its welfare and
commercial prosperity. What affects one
for good or i'll affects all. All should
stand together for good government for
moral and religious improvement and for
material advancement.
In conclusion, Mr. Strong brought in re-
view the old ante-bellum Savannah, the
post-bellum Savannah and the Savannah
of the future. Let all strive to make the
Savannah of the future such a city that
when their children and grandchildren
come to speak of it they will be able to
say Il am a citizen of no mean city"

NELL CASE NOT YET ASSIGNED.
The Absence of Counsel Delays Sc
lection of Day IF Hearing.


No day has yet been selected for the
trial in The Superior Court of W. IS. Nell,
indicted by the grand jury of the last
term for the murder of James Buzbee.
The case had been set for last Thursday,
but a posi- ponement was sought by the
prisoner and agreed to by the solicitor gen
eral, because of the absence from the city
Of Mr.. Joseph r. Cronk, who is to be
the leading counsel for the defense.
Mr. Crouk is now absent from the city,
and the court is awaiting his return in
Falligant is very anxious to dispose of this
and all other criminal cases now on the
docket as soon as possible, and 1t is
probable therefore, that the earliest date
practicable will be chosen. The homicide
was committed long enough ago to give
ample opportunity for preparation to coun-
sci for the prisoner and the state and II
is not seen that there is a possible valid
reason why the trial should not take place
at once.
The case is the most interesting in the
recent criminal history of the county, the
relations between the slayer and the
young lad he Killed, they were brothers in
law he facts ana circumstances of the
killing and the nature of the evidence
against Nell given at the corOnerS in
quest all contributing to invest the pro-
ceedi~gs with a more than usual fascina-
ton for the morbidly curious. In this con-
necton the varying statements of MelPs
wife the sister OF the boy who was killed,
also contribute their share of foundation
for the speculation of those who interest
themselves in cases of this character
The coroner's inquest was held on the
morning following the homicide and at

fed that her husband had shot her broth
er before the latter had in any manner
sought TO provoke his anger or had given
any ground for Melrs thinking that his
life was in danger Since that time she
has entirely repudiated this statement, and
now declares that her brother was adj
vancing on Nell with a pistol when the
latter fired. The other witnesses to the
homicide, however, stick closely to the
original story.

THE BAND WILL PARADE.
First Regiments VIII Lead the
Troops on Friday.

The band of the First Regiment will lead
the parade of the troops on Lees birth
day Mr.. Tarrant, the leader has his or
ganization fairly well in hand, and it is
expected the music will be superior to that
of the occasion when the Confederate Vet
Grams were in line. The band was not at
fault then, as the music was sought to
be made of a character suited to the less
active steps of the veterans.
A white band is a source of pride to the
regiment. Two years ago there was
good one, but as did other organizations,
it suffered when the time came to say
whether or not it should enlist for the
war with Spain. Acting Adjutant w. e.
Coney is anxious to see the new band re-
established upon an excellent footing, and
will do all in his power to bring this about
The regimental band is customarily under
the management of the adjutant, and 1t
is very likely that the First will soon have
an excellent one, as Lieut. Coney is great
ly interested.

TO HELP SUNDAY SCHOOL WORK.
Episcopal Workers to Organize an
Association.

Association.
At joint meeting of the workers in the
Episcopal Churches of Savannah held in
the Sunday School room of Christ Church
yesterday afternoon, it was decided to or
ganize a Sunday School Association of the
Archdeaconry of Savannah.
The meeting, over which Rev. ]. L.
Scully of st. Paul's Church presided, was
largely attended, ais Of the Episcopal
Churches and chapels being well repre-
scented.
The need for such an organization was
discussed with a number of the leading
church workers by Bishop Nelson on his
last visit to Savannah. and at yesterdays
meeting the object and scope of the pro-
posed association was briefly stated by
MI E. S. Elliott. The two questions to
be answered, he said were. Ought we
to have such an organization" and IF
il is organized what work shall we do,
and what are the best means of doing
it?"
The first of these questions was put to
a vote, and it was unanimously decided
that the association should be organized
The question of the work to be done at
the next meeting was then discussed and
it was decided to have a model Bible
class. The when and where was then
brought up, and it was decided to hold
the meeting Sunday, Jan. 2S. at $40 in
1.-The afternoon at the parish hall of ST.
Johns Church.
A committee, consisting of the superin-
tendent of each Sunday School and one
other person to be selected by the SUPER
intendent of each school, was appointed,
and will meet some time before the next
meeting to formulate bylaws for the as

WILL SOON BUILD QUARTERS.
GOLF CLUB HAS PLANS FOR AN AT
TRACTIVE BUILDING.

One or Two Suggestions for Changes
Whole They Are Very Satisfactory
and the Members Appreciate the
Generosity of Mr. Wilson of Mas
sachusetts, Who Drew Them-Mr.
II. VI. Butler Now Has the Plans in
Hand-In Consideration of His
Offer of n Loan to Build. the House,
the Committee Allows Him the Lib
erty to Make Suggestions He May
Think Proper.
The Savannah Golf Club will soon begin
the construction of a club house. The
plans for the building have been secured
and 1t will be but a short while before
the sound of the hammer and the saw
win be heard at the clubs magnificent
course east of the city
Mr.. Wilson, a prominent architect CT
Massachusetts, who is well known in Sa-
vannah, often visiting the city. designed
the club house. 1t is possible that there
will be one or two suggestions, but che
plans are regarded avoraby, on the
whole. many of the members expressing
the greatest satisfaction with them and
being anxious to see the building erected
in conformity with them.
Mr.. r. M. Butler now has the plans in
charge and will consider them carefully.
The Executive Committee of the club de-
cided it would be no more than courtesy
and appreciation would demand, for Mr..
Butler to be allowed to follow his own
ideas as to just the manner of quarters
the club should have. as it was he who
made the liberal offer of a loan to enable
it to build. His terms are without in
terest and for the money to be repaid
when the club is able.
In the plans sent by Mr.. Wilson no pro-
vision is made for a sleeping apartment
II is thought there should be one for a
caretaker or for the instructor. Mr. Will
son will doubtless be asked to make some
slight alteration for such room.
About $500 will be expended upon the
clubs quarters, though none of this will
go to the architect. as Mr.. Wilson. as
compliment to his many friends in Sa-
vannah who are members of the club, vol
unteered to draw the plans. The house
will be very attractive, and the architect
had the climate and surroundings in mind
when he designed it. There will be but
one story, and in front there will run
wide veranda. On the roof there will be
a garden, railing enclosing it. The ex-
terror will be painted white.
Inside there will be the general club
room, a large apartment, and on one side
there will be quarters for gentlemen and
on the other for ladies, where golf Co.'S
tunes may be donned and golf outfits
kept There will also be a small kitchen
as it is thought the club may desire to
give entertainments from time to time.
The officers of the club are we'll pleased
with the success they have made the club
and appreciate the interest the members
have shown in it. They expect to push
on the work and eventually have the 200
members that are desired to make the or
ganization just what it should be. All
were greatly pleased with the success of
the opening day before yesterday and
trust it is but an augury of future sue
cesses.

gave the smoothest ever seen in Cincin-
natl. The first part wardrobe is magnifi-

specialties are given by Harry Ward, a

night. The play Is described as hi
larious\ sufhcency." The best evidence
that Jones is a success rs the tact tina
big crowds go to see it wherever it is
played 1t is simply a spirited, brightly
written, well constructed bit of nonsense,
presented by capable company of play
ers. All that happens to Jones is due to
the desire of the police to lay hands upon
an offender in the incidents of lively
evening. He finds refuge In the home of
a hen-pecked college professor who has
a black eye 10 account for the head of
the house. The fugitive Jones masquer-
AIDES as his hosts brother, an Australian
bishop, and has abundant chance to prove
his ability as a cheerful liar. The real
bishop arrives and Is prosecuted as an
escaped lunatic and an impostor. Pretty
girls, credulous mother and maiden aunt

tanglements, through which the shameless
