number of boarding housekeepers are

The man with his wife and child reach
ed the city on July %. or at least that
is the first that is known of his pres

Hotel. He had as baggage for himself
and family, only a dressing case, and ex 70

a lecturing tour. travelling rapidly from
place to place, and had no need of much
baggage.
As is customary at all hotels, guests
without baggage are requested to pay in
advance and this request was made in
this case. He declined TO pay, saying that
he had come to the city under an agree
ment TO lecture for the Young Mems Chris
tan Association, and that he was still
uniformed whether or not he was to be
entertained by some member or If his
board would be paid at the hotel, but
that in either case he would make the
matter all right He stayed at the hotel
two days and the proprietor, then becom-
ing pressing for some sort of payment or
guarantee, he rendered check, which was
refused, with the suggestion that as he
was known to the Young Mems Chris
tian Association officials he get them to
cash it or indorse IL. This he would not
do, and left the house
Nothing is known as to his movements
for the next few days but about ten
days ago he approached the secretary of
the Young Mems Christian Association
with the request of a small loan, stating
that he was in hard luck and wanted
some money to pay the hotel people as
they were becoming suspicious of his

lecturing tour through the South. having
an engagement 90 speak next before the
Y NJ. c. A. of Atlanta and also to preach
in one of the churches of that city He
failed TO make the required touch, and
was next heard of by a Methodist min
lister, whom he went to see yesterday
week ago. To him he said that he had
just reached the city, or had the day be-
fore. too late to secure money from the
banks and that he was due in Atlanta
that night, and wanted enough money to
get away on.
In this instance he represented himself
as being minister of some other church.
but stated that his sympathi were with
the Methodists and that he expected
shortly TO join that denomination. He
secured a small loan, but did not use il
to go to Atlanta, as he was seen on Bull
street the next day.
1t is rumored also that he stayed dur
ing his brief sojourn here at two or
three boarding houses besides the hotel
and that in each case he left without
any settlement. No complaint has been
made at the barracks. but the minister
is thinking seriously of putting a notice
in his church paper.

STOLE HIS OWN BAGGAGE.
Tampa Hotelkeeper Charges Ed
Womack with Larceny.

Ed Womack, a travelling man we'll
known in Savannah. is the defendant in a
somewhat peculiar case which came up
in Tampa last week The following story
Of the affair is given by the Tampa pa
pers:
Mr.. Womack was arrested on a war
rant sworn out by Manager Hannah of
the Hotel Arno, charging him with lar
ceny. Mr.. Womack, il seems, had run
up a bill at the hotel for $3S. Al, which he
either could not or would not pay, and
agreed to leave his baggage with the man
ager. day or two later the grips had
disappeared from the hotel office, and
they were afterwards discovered to be in
the possession of Womack.
Hannah secured a warrant, charging
Womack with larceny, and the latter
was arrested. The hearing appears TO
hove been quite q lively affair. Hannah
testified that Womack had given him "A
draft on his house for SIS, which the
house refused TO pay. and that Womack
had then left his baggage as security,
later abstracrng two grips from the no.
tel. Womack claimed that he had a per-
he could commit no larceny by taking
his own property. The case raised some
interesting legal questions, and there were
a number of sharp exchanges between
the lawyers.
Womack was held for trial, and gave
bond for his appearance.

SOCIETIES ROYALTY TREATED.
Dublin Lavished Hospitality on HOr
. ticuIturists of the state.

/. tculturlSts OF the state.
The members of the State Horticultural
end Agricultural Societies, both of which
met this year at Dublin, were the recip-
tents of very gracious and charming hos
pitality in this enterprising little Geor-
gla city. No one of them but returned
to his home with pleasant memories of
Dublin and its people.
Mai. G. M Ryals, who is the vice pres
ident for the First Congressional District
of both societies. is especially enthusiastic
over Dublin's treatment of the visitors
The meeting of the Horticultural Society
was held week earlier than the meeting
of the Agriculturists of the state. and
when he returned for the second meeting
he felt that his acquaintance with the
people of Dublin, though it had been SO
recently made. had already ripened into
friendship. During the time of his sec
ond stay the constant courtesy with
which he was treated, courtesy which
went out to every member of the society,
did not permit him to change abe i'm
preston.
Maj. Ryals, while in Dublin, was the
guest of Col. j. NJ Stubs, who holds a
prominent position in three or four diff
ferent fields. He is a lawyer of reputa-
ton, the president of one of the railroads
entering Dublin and one of she leading
horticulturists of the state. That he is
in addition to all this, a model host was
all that was needed 10 make the pleasure
of Mai Ryals' stay perfect.
The Reception Committee which was in
charge of the entertainment of the Wis
itors was unremitting in its attentions
and unfailing in its hearty desire to dis
charge las duties. Indeed, according to
the Major, pretty much everybody in the
Town constituted himself a committee of
one TO look after the pleasure of the
strangers within their gates. Trips on
the river and barbecues added 10 the
pleasure of the members of the two soc,-
cites.
Mr. Charles Manning, formerly of Sa-
vannah is now one of the leading citi-
zens of Dublin. in whom all the town
takes an interest. Mr.. Manning is in the
cotton-buying business and is regarded as
being responsible for material additions
to the trade of Dublin in this great sta
pie of the South. With the exception of
some added gravity, that the years have
brought, he is the same Charley Manning
so well known in Savannah. and is as
popular in Dublin as he was here.

CoLoRED TROOPS TO PARADE.
First Battalion to Celebrate Its
Twentieth Anniversary.

The twentieth anniversary of the First
Battalion Infantry. Georgia State Troops,
colored, will be appropriately celebrated
tomorrow by parade in the forenoon
and picnic at Lincoln Park in the after
noon. The Fulton Guards of Atlanta and
the Lincoln Guards of Macon will attend.
which will complete the assemblage in Sa-
vannah of all the colored military of the
state.
Col ]. H. Deveaux of the First Bat
talon is working with other members of
his command to make the celebration a
success, and so far they are encouraged
by the general enthusiasm shown. Be-
sides the celebration the troops will have
another reason for appearing at their best,
for the reason that Col. William G. Obear,
inspector general of state troops, has been
ordered to Savannah, and will arrive to-
day in readiness to inspect the colored
troops tomorrow. This will be an i'm
portant feature of the days work. The
hnal details for the inspection will prob
ably not be made until Col. Obear arrives
and confers with the commanding officers.
Arrangements will be made for one of
the best parades the colored troops have
yet given in Savannah. The line will
lOTIn on Liberty street at III o CLOCK the
right resting on East Broad. From there
is will move through the principal streets,
winding up at a convenient point for the
troops to take the East End cars for
Lincoln Park While there will be quite
a number to go out, and all about the
same time, still arrangements have been
made with General Manager Lotion of
the street railway whereby he will have
sufficient cars on hand to carry the
troops to the park 1t is stated enough
cars will be kept on the line during the
day 90 carry all the colored people who
may wish to attend the picnic. While it
has not been announced yet whether
there will be any speaking, still the
chances are that some of the colored lead
ers will be heard from on the questions
of the day.
Speaking of the event. yesterday.
Col. Deveaux said it is proposed
to make the celebration complete
in every way. and to this end
he is endeavoring to have every mem
Der of his command, from the ranks up.
10 cooperate with him in making every
feature of the days programme a sue
cess. Heretofore the colored troops have
shown themselves off to good advantage
when appearing in public demonstration
and the chances are they will not fail
on this occasion to go one better over
their previous record.

THEY WANT INFORMATION.
Japan Cotton Merchants' Union
Wants Facts About Savannah.

Superintendent ]. p Merrihew of the
Savannah Cotton Exchange has just re-
ceived from the Cotton Merchants Union
of Kobe, Japan. copies of the bylaws
and rules of the union, together with a
list of its members. The superintendent
of the Kobe union requests that the rules
Of the Savannah Cotton Exchange be
sent them for their guidance.
The fact that there is in the opin-
ion Of many local cotton men a fair cut
look for good cotton business with ia
pan during the coming season makes the
request for information the more i'm
portant at this time. 1t is believed that il
the proper informa ton is promptly fur
nished, and the trade of the port looked
after by those interested, that beneficial
results will follow.
"A fair export business was done with
Japan this season." said Superintendent
Msrrihew, "and 1t may be this will be
greatly increased during the coming sea-
son. This year there was exported to
Kobe 1920 bales. and sO2 bales TO Yoko-
hama. Last year there were no exports
from Savannah to Japan. In 1898 there
was 1900 bales exported to Kobe, 300 to
Hiogo and $50 to Yokohama. 1t strikes
me that the inquiry for Information in
dicates that the trade of that country is
looking out for business connections for
the coming ceason, and that a prompt
pre- sentation of Savannah's advantages
will inure to the benefit of the port"

Mai. j. Mclaughlin n Cousin of the
Celebrated Englishman.

Maj John Mclaughlin. the well-known
auctioneer and business man on Congress
street, west was a cousin of the late
Baron Russell, Lord Chief Justice of Eng

Maj Mclaughlin were in constant COM

correspondence for years.
About a year ago the Baron visited this
country, going to Saratoga, where he de-
livered a memorable address before the
Bar Association. The address was com
mented upon very generally by the Amer
lean press, and was unqualifedly pro-
nounced one of the most learned and
scholarly speeches ever delivered before
the association. 1t was heard by num-
Der of Savannah lawyers. who visited Sar-
atoga as delegates from Georgia. All from
Savannah were favored with letters of in
PRODUCTION from Maj. Mclaughlin to Baron
Russell by whom they were cordially re-

FLORIDA MAY WANT THEM.
Two Captures of Police YESTERDAY
May Prove Important.

John Todd and Sam Davis, two colored
men who were captured yesterday in the
neighborhood of the market by Patrol
men Tullis and Cristie, are thought to be
badly wanted in Florida, where it is said
there is a large reward for them.
The men are also wanted on Whining
ton Island for an assault made some time
ago on Mr.. Andrews, foreman of the Gem
Ter Canning Factory, and il was on this
charge that they were arrested.
1t is thought however, that one of the
men is Eli Booker, who killed a promi-
nent citizen of Palatka on June IA and
for whom there is a reward of $3.50, Of
fered by the state of Florida. There are
men in the city who know Booker, and
the matter of the negro's identity will
probably be settled to-day.

IN DIR. JORDAN'S PLACE.
Rev. X. w. Cawthon Preached His
First Sermon Yesterday.

The Success of Love- was the subject
of the first sermon delivered by Rev. X.
w Cawthon at the First Baptist Church.
The young minister began his work yester-
day morning as the supply of the pastor,
Rev. DR. John d. Jordan, who is now
away or his vacation
The text was drawn from Paul's writ
ings, and the principal thought, the
preacher said, suggested to him by the
lesson is: What shall 1t profit a man if
he has all that life can give and has not
love; or what profit is there doing noble
things in religion without having the in
ner life OF true religion, which is lover"
Love, Mr.. Cawthon said, is of three
kinds: The love of esteem, that which
looks up, the love with which We love
Cod the love of sympathy. the love that
looks straight out, which which we love
those we like; and the love of compassion,
the most difficult of all. that looks down,
the love with which we love those distate-
full and hostile to u.s."
