SAVANNAH's MENAGERIE.
salvation Army Captains Subject at
Turner Hall.

The Salvation Army seems to have taken
root in Savannah and may be regarded
as permanent fixture. The army now
has permanent quarters at Turner Hail.
where meetings are held nightly The
uniformed force of the army here at pres
ent consists of a male captain and two
female cadets, but several recruits have
been taken in recently.
At the meeting last night there was an
attendance of between fifty and sixty,
The meeting was entirely orderly, and
nearly all of those present appeared to
take a deep interest in the services. There
were a number of responses to the call
for experiences, and the showing was a
very favorable one for the work of the
army
The subject of the Captains talk was
The Menagerie of Savannah" The talk
was plain, but conservative, and those who
expected to hear the wickedness of Sa-
vannah revealed and to see The tiger pa
raded in all his viciousness were disap-
pointed. The speaker simply made a COM
parison of the likeness between the hui
man family and the animal world, show
ing how the traits of the various animals
are displayed in human beings, some of
whom manifest the character of the lion.
others those of the horse, the hog the
d9S' tHS WOll anu the serpent. The Two
latter characters were especially dealt
with, the wolves being used to typify the
vicious and evilly disposed who go about
under cover of night, fiocking to dens of
vice and plotting the evil and ruin of their
fellow men and women. Wolves in sheep 5
clothing and serpents were described as
citizens and church members who make
a pretense of responsibility and religion.
but use these as cloak to work their evil
designs and encompass the ruin of their
neighbors.
Those who attend these services cannot

of the Salvation Army workers and the

SONS OF THE REVOLUTION.
They VIII Meet and Dine mt the De
Soto Tonight

The annual meeting of the Georgia So
ciety of the Sons of the Revolution will be
held in the gentlemen's parlor of the De
Soto tonight. The meeting viii be held at
o'clock and at o'clock the members of
the society and their invited guests viii
file into The banqueting room for their an
nual dinner.
The society has been disappointed by
its failure to secure the attendance of at
least three of its members from whom IL
expected responses to some Of the toasts
that are to be suggested. GOV. theodore
Roosevelt of New York was one o. the
members of the sOciety-an honored mem
bcTwho had been invited, but the fact
that the Legislature Of New York is IN
session and that important business was
expected to come before il, has prevented
the attendance Of Gov. Roosevelt A sec

Gov Allen d. Gambler of Georgia, another
member of the society, and il was hoped
that he would find himself in position 70

Gamblers previous urgent and rtsslnS
ngagements. was doomed 70 premature
disappointment.
A third member of the society who had
been asked to speak was Hon. Hugh
Washington Of Macon, its vice president.
Like the Governors of the Empire States
of the North and the South, Mr.. Wash
ingtou found himself constrained and
obliged to. decline.
These several refusals have obliged the
Invitation Committee of the society to
look TO those members of the society resi-
dent in Savannah, and their guests who
own the same citizenship. for the oratory
of the occasion. The void, it is said and
expected, will be well filled. Mr. J. r
Saussy will respond to the toast, The
Daughters of the Revolution and il il
hoped that Mr.. Edward 5. Elliott will
also be among the speakers. Mr. Walter
G. Charlton will be the postmaster.
At the meeting tonight the society will
adopt an eloquent set of resolutions, that
have been prepared under the direction
of one of its committee, relative TO the
death of Col. Screven, its former presi-
dent Action will be taken upon other
matters of interest TO the society and its
members
The annual meetings of the society al
ways include the reading of short o5itu-
aries of those of its members who have
died since the last meeting. Besides Col
Screven, Or. George H. Stone and Mr.

Mr.. Rourke Thinks the Duchess Pro-
peIIer Has Been Found.

Work was continued at the Ocean
Steamship Company's wharves yesterday
in the hope of finding the propeller lost
Friday by the steamship Grand Duchess.
Mr.. John Rourke was in charge of the
work, and reported last night that every
thing was in readiness to lift the wheel
to-day, as it has been located. Several
boats are anchored about the sunken
wheel, and a chain will be made fast by
the diver this morning.
The weather was misera BILE for the oper
atoms yesterday morning. The men got
rather discouraged, but kept at it. The
object located the night before and thought
to be the wheel was found to be some thing
else so as soon as that point was settled.
the seatch was continued. Several boats
were kept busy dragging for distractions,
and when one was found, poles were used
20 ascertain whether or not il might be the
lost wheel Those employed have found it
difficult TO get the bearings as soon as az
obstruction is encountered.
President r. G.. Erwin of the Plant Sys-
fem. to which the Duchess belongs, will
arrive to-day from Florida and will doubt

Interesting Exercises by the snvan-
nah Union.

The Christian Endeavorers of the First
Presbyterian Church celebrated Chris
tian Endeavor day last night by a spe-
cial service for which an interesting pro-
gramme had been prepared by DR.. Fran
els E. Clark, president and founder of
the society.
The services consisted of hymns which
both the congregation and the choir sang,
responsive readings of the scriptures by
the president of the local society, Mr.. Ar
thur Wells, and the congregation.
The story of world wide Endeavor
which was read by Mr.. Oliver Adams was
a brief history of the society and gave
some very interesting statistics relative
to its growth. 1t was begun" he said,
in Portland, Me. nineteen years ago and
now numbers over 5000 societies with a
membership of about 3,500,000 persons OF
the branches outside of America it is in
teresung to know that the first was found
ed in Honolulu three years after the first
was established in America, and that
there are now in the Hawaiian Islands
seventeen societies. Its spread and popu-
larity in other countries has been equally
great and there are now societies sin al
most every land where civilization has
a foothold. 1t is firmly founded in ell of
the better known countries and there are
the Marshall Islands, and recently in the
Philippine Islands. where it was establish
ed by some of the soldiers of the Ameri-
can army.
Following this short outline of the his
tory of the society the members were call
ed on to repeat their pledge, which was
followed in turn by the pledge of the Ju-
nior Society, which was repeated by the
younger Endeavorers. After another
hymn and a short talk by the president
five two-minute talks were given by
Messrs. Neil Coney, who spoke on THE
Quiet Hour Gordon Peek, THE Tenth
Legion" Walter Coney on THE Forward
Movement for Missions, or the Macedon-
ian PhalanX;" William Thompson, Jr., on
the New Plans for Unity in Our Local
Unions" and Arthur Wells, on Larger
Fellowship the World Round"
Mr.. Wells read another short selection
which was followed by sentence prayers
by a number of the Endeavorers. Rev.
Arthur j. Smith made a five-minute talk
on Gods spirit the essential power in
every Christian Endeavor," and after a
few closing words by Mr.. Wells. the SER
vices was closed by a hymn, and the Nix
pah benediction.

have received their new commissions,
which, dating Feb. 8, were received yes
terday. They are effective for three years

receipt of the commissions. Capt. w. E.
Coney adjutant of the First Regiment,

turns of the elections in to the adjutant

place he has not heard from, the returns
of the Rifles not having yet been receiv-
ed. 1t was in that command that the
contest for the captaincy was had be-
tween Capt Dunn and Lieut.. Stiles of
the naval militia.
