CHANGE IN MONEY ORDER SYSTEM
Orders VIII BE Cashed without Let
terss of Advice.

The Savannah Postoffice is in receipt of
letter from the postoffice department at
Washington making some changes in the
payment of money orders that will be APP
preciated by the public, particularly BUSH
ness men.
The letter states that il has been the
practice of the department, in the way Of
experiment, for some time past, where re-
lance might be placed upon the efficiency
ana good judgment of the employees of
the money order divisions, TO authorize
the postmaster at certain of the larger
postoffices to cash all money orders pre-
scented at such offices. and to cash orders
the advices of which had not been receiv-
ed.
The period has now arrived when IL Is
deemed proper to extend this practice so
as to embrace all postofiices of the first
and second classes, therefore such offices
are authorized to cash all money orders,
Irrespective of the place of payment men,
toned in such orders. and to cash any
money order drawn upon such Office ire
spective of the fact that the corresponding
advice may not have reached the office
upon which IL is drawn.
It is believe that this measure having
for its object the Improvement of the
money order service, embraces features
which must have the substantial approval
of the business public, and will result in
reducing the complaints made because Of
the practice followed heretofore.
The postohice has also been notified that
on and after April 2. owing to an arrange
ment made with the Russian governm mt
money orders may be sold payable in that
country. Aslmilar order regarding Mex
leo was received some time ago.

SMALLPOX IN vINEvILLE.
Judge speer Advised Not to Return
TO His Homo.

Judge Emory Speer had contemplated
returning 10 Macon the early part of next
week, to attend to court business there
and to remain at least until he should be
again called to Savannah for the trial of
the Greene-Gaynor case should that case
ever reach the poiut of trial by the grace
of the New York end of the line.
Judge Speer finds, however, that he can
not return for the present, and he bases
his decision not to do so on a telegram
which he received yesterday from his ply
stefan in Macon warning him against re-
turning home at the present time on ac-
count of smallpox in his immediate neigh
borhood- 1t appears that the county pest
MOUSE of Bibb county IS located in the
pretty LITTLE suburb of VineWlle, and that
too, within 200 or 800 yards of Judge
Speers home. But this is not all. Two
new cotton mills, the Wilingham mill and
the Manchester mill, have recently been
built in that immediate neighborhood and
each is within 500 yards of the pest house
The county hospital and the county chain
gang are in the same section, and, IL any
thing, nearer than the TWO cotton mills.
The result has been that the smallpox
has broken out among the employees or
both mills and among Others in that. seq
ton. The county authorities, the COM
nissioners, have been appealed to, not
alone by Judge Speer, but by other citi-
gems, but without avail their reply being
that the pest house was there before the
cotton mills; hence they would not move
it,
1t is not known just how many cases of
smallpox are in the Bib county pest
house at present, but it is stated that a
short time ago there were forty cases.
This, the Maconites who are in Savannah
consider an alarming state of affairs. The
telegram to Judge Speer stated that small
pox had broken out just back of his house,
in one of the cotton mills and advised him
against returning to Macon at the present
time.
Judge Speer intimated very strongly
that unless something is done to remedy
this state of affairs, he might be com
PEELED to move away from Macon.

CREW WILL TAKE THE MONEY.
Supreme Court Has Refused Re-
herring in the AduIa Cnse.

Judge Speer received information from
Washington yesterday to the effect that
the Supreme Court of the United States
had refused to grant a rehearing in the
case of the steamship Adula, condemned
in the District Court here as lawful prize
of war.
Judge Speer's decision in the matter Of
the Adula was affirmed by the Supreme
Court some month or five weeks ago. With
this decision the owner of the vessel, the
Atlas Steamship Company. was not salts
fed and endeavored 10 obtain a rehearing
and opportunity for a second argument CT
the case before the Supreme Court The
refusal of the court to grant this rehear-
ing ends the prize litigation, and 1t is
probable that those entitled to share in
the proceeds of the bond, given by the
vessels owners, will come into their in
heritance, within a very short time.
The Adula was captured off the coast of
Cuba by the United States steamer Mar
blehead, under the command of Com
mander McCalla, while attempting to en-
ter the blockaded port of Guantanamo.
She was brought to Savannah by a prize
crew under the command of Lieut.. An
derson of North Carolina, and the pro
ceedings to condemn her as prize of
war were conducted in the federal Dis
trict Court, before Judge Speer and
prize commission appointed by him.
1t is stated that the libel of the White
Star Steamship Company against the
Adula, on claim for salvage for saving
her from destruction by fire while in the
harbor of New York, will not affect the
distribution of the prize money in the
case nor the salvage due the towing
company should it be decided that any
is due it, be taken from the proceeds of
the $50 600 bond given by the owner. Since
the bond was given the Adula has been
wrecked and is now at the bottom of the
sea.
The libel of the towing company was
fought by the owners of the Adula on
the ground that she should have been
kept insured by the United States mar
shall in whose custody she was at the
time. This contention will probably now
be made by those entitled to share in the
distribution of the prize money, in the
absence OF any interest that the former
termination of the question. That inter-
est vanished with the destruction of the
vessel.
1t is stated that there is about $4,000
of the prize money to be distributed in
Savannah to commissioners, members of
boards of survey and others who perform
ed services on the Adula while she was in
this port.

a Lady of Years nnJ Good Deeds
Laid to Her Rest.

Laid to Her Rest.
The funeral of the late Mrs. Caroline
Hollis, whose death was announced in the
Morning News yesterday, took place in
the afternoon from the Independent Pres
byterian Church. The services were con-
Quoted by Rev. DR.. James Y. Fair, pas
tor, assisted by Rev. w. A. Nisbet, pastor
of the Second Presbyterian Church. The
remains were laid to rest in the hewitt
family lot in Laurel Grove Cemetery.
The following gentlemen acted as pail
bearers. Messrs John c. Rowl1nd, r. R.
Richards, d. r. Thomas, ]. E. Cam, w.
L. Wakelee and r. Arson.
Mrs. Hollis died night before last at the
advanced age of Y years, at her home
No. 10 Gordon street. west She was a
woman widely beloved for her many good
works, and 1t was TO the grief of many
friends that the announcement of her
death was made.
Religion and charity have lost one of
their staunchest opponents in Mrs. Hollis
who was never happier than when en-
ployed in the worship of the Master and
in doing His bidding in relieving the tenn
poral wants of others and giving them
the bread of life. She was a member
of the Independent Presbyterian Church
and the teacher of a class of Chinese.
These pupils attended the funeral in a
body
Mrs. Hollis leaves but few relatives.
Mr.. John j. hewitt, a half nephew, was
her closest of kin. She was also related
to the Forestars of Charleston. Her life
was rather a Onely one, as She was wild
owed soon after her marriage. Two
small children. a boy and a girl, were
left her, but it was only to see them go
down before the dread destroyer just as
they entered upon young man and wo-
manhood that she reared them from the
cradle. The son died at % and the
daughter at 10. leaving naught but her
faith and her determination to do good
in the world to the stricken mother.

The Nucleus for One Secured in sa-
vannnh by Rev. j. X. d'OriOI.

The meeting in the Sunday School room
of the Independent Presbyterian Church
yesterday afternoon, for the purpose of
hearing from the Rev. Jean d'Oriol upon
the work of the Huguenot Church IN
France, was not largely attended. Never
theless considerable interest was mani
tested, and a good beginning was made
in the formation of Huguenot Associa-
ton, TO aid In the mission work in France.
Many of those who would have been pres
ent were In attendance upon the funeral
of the late Mrs. Hollis, which also pre-
vented the attendance of the pastor of
the church. Rev. DR.. Fair. Rev. d Oriol
was assisted in the meeting by Rev. Ar
thur ]. Smith, pastor OF the First Pres
byterian Church.
Mr. dOriol described the religious con-
ditions prevailing in France. and the great
work which has opened up before the
Huguenot Church by the demand for It's
services from many hitherto nOn-Protest-
ant communities. The result has been a
rapid growth of the church. The demand
has become so great, however. that the
church is not able to supply it. and calls
are now being made upon the Protestants
Of other countries for assistance in carry
ing on the work. The great opportun-
ties now presented to the church in
France were strongly dwelt upon by Mr..
dOrioi who also gave an interesting de-
scription of the conditions under which
the work is conducted. with many anec-
dotes and incidents illustrative of tho
character of the work and the devotion
Of the Protestants of France 20 their
cause
At the conclusion of Mr.. d'Oriors add
dress, ell of those present who desired to
enter into the Huguenot Association, We're
requested to write their names and the
amounts which they would give annually
upon slips OF paper furnished for the pur-
pose. The greater number of those pres
ent did so. It is expected to largely in
crease the membership of the associa-
ton. Mr.. d'Oriol leaves to-day for
Charleston. but expects to return to Sa-
yannah SHORTLY

TO FINE AND VACCINATE.
Law VIII BE RigidIy Enforced After
April g.


While there is a temporary lull in the
vaccination business. so far as enforcing
general vaccination is concerned, it
would not be we'll for the unvaccinated
to be deceived thereby. This temporary
lull only means that the compulsory vac
cination law will be enforced to the
limit. The Mayor has given all persons
who are not now vaccinated until April
6 to comply with the law, in order that
those who suffer from the application
of the law after that date may have no
excuse.
''This means" said Mayor Myers yes
terday, chat not only will persons who
are found not vaccinated will be compell-
ed to submit to vaccination, but that they
will also be placed upon the docket and
fined. Submission to vaccination will not
save them from the fine. They will be
both fined and vaccinated and the fines
will not be light.
Therefore" said the Mayor, at will be
we'll for all persons now unvaccinated
to take advantage of the time allowed
them without further delay. A notice has
been published giving the hours during
which the city physicians will be at their
offices to perform this service for those
who are unable to pay for the same"
Many people, who have not been vaccin-
eted, have simply been waiting for the
city physicians to come around, intend
ing to submit to vaccination when called
upon and thus save the expense of a
physicians fee. AS the work of the city
physicians in this line is confined at pres
ent to Vaccinating charity patients at
their offices those who have been waiting
for them will be disappointed and when
the city physician calls after April g.. ac-
companied by policeman, they will not
be pleased
