AT INDEPENDENT CHURCH.
Many Listened to DIR. Fairs Inter
esting Sermon.

eStlnB sermon.
At the morning service in the Independ-
ent Presbyterian Church yesterday the
Lords Supper was observed. The num-
Der of communicates was unusually large.
The names of six new members were an
nounced.
The pulpit was tsstefully decorated by
the Flower Committee, and the music by
the choir was fully up to its usual high
standard. In the absence of Mrs. Harri-
son, who is i'll. Miss Colding presided
most acceptably at the organ, and Mrs.
Smiths solo at the offertory was beauti-
fully rendered and greatly enjoyed by the
large congregation.
The pastor Rev. DR.. Fair, preached
from Luke, $40: "And it came to pass
that, when Jesus was returned, the peo-
pie gladly received Him: for they were
all waiting for Him" He said this was
the record of an unusual, as well as a
happy, incident in the life of the Savior.
He often knew what it was to be rejected
The text stands out in it's beautiful isola-
tion like a mountain peak, gilded in the
hues of sunset. around which angel fin
gers weave crowns of gold. The lesson
drawn was that all should receive Christ
self, but also for what He has done He
was theN greatest teacher and the most
perfect character the world has ever seen,
and His influence has been the most potent
factor at work in history for the uplift
of man.
At the preparatory service Saturday
night. DR.. Fair preached on the text: so

and saw not the Kings face" The idea
elaborated was that sin comes between
the soul and God prevents communion
with the Heavenly Father and eclipses
the vision of His face.
Next Sunday the pulpit of the Independ-
ent Church will be filled by Rev. j. E.
Kirbye, pastor of the old and historic
Circular Church of Charleston, which re-

ANTI-SPITTlNG ORDINANCE.
VIII Probably He Introduced Mt
Councils Next Meeting.

An ordinance prohibiting splitting upon
The sidewalks, in street cars and in pub
lie buildings will probably be introduced
at the meeting of Council day after to-
morrow night. The Sanitary board wants
such an ordinance passed, and it is be-
lieved that no opposition to it will be
manifested when it is introduced. In the
report of the last meeting of Council, the
Morning News told of the resolution of
the sanitary board, requesting Council to
adopt such a measure as a safeguard
against disease.
DR.. w. f. Drummer health officer
thinks slight penalty should be imposed
for the violation of the ordinance, if
passed The measure will be designed to
break up habit that has prevailed since
the city was established, and it will be a
difficult matter for one to employ the
proper check and think in time of the
cl dinance. When one is about to spit
there Is little thought of possible legisla-
ton that may impose penalty, and it
Will take time to teach citizens to think
before eXpectorating. 81
just let one consider that the ordi-
nance has passed and practice self-re-
straint in the matter of splitting. Even
one who does not chew tobacco and who
has no throat or bronchial trouble ne
cessitating splitting for relief, will. if a
close watch is kept. find that it is the
most natural thing to spit thoughtlessly.
If one thinks at all about the thing, it
is after splitting.
The ordinance will probably demand
that pedestrians, when desiring to spit
step to the curb, thus favoring the side
walks. Cuspidors must be used in pub
lie buildings, and in street cars, the most
convenient means Offering may be avail
ed of to keep within the ordinance.
Just who will introduce the ordinance
is not known, but it is presumed that it
will come from the Committee on Public
Health, of which Alderman Horrigan is
chairman.

when Police Refuse to Act
The Law and Order League has been

dance dive in which negro women, young
white girls and drunken sailors congre-

made to us only after the police had been
asked to put an end to it, but refused
to act"
The place referred to is a dance hall
on Randolph street and the Plank road.
1t adjoins a barroom, and is conducted
by negro woman, who. though refusing
male citizens admittance and allowing
only seafaring men and other strangers
there, yet entices to the place young
white girls, and furnishes them with cos
tunes in which to appear to advantage.
According to the report made to the
Law and Order League, Saturday night,
about 10 o'clock, gentleman discovered
that the customary dance was going on
in the dive, and among the dancers were
two white girls, each about IA years old.

of most disgusting and revolving char

that he was out he reported it to Lieut..

that the joint be pulled" He says in

be a blow to him.
The gentleman who reported the matter

THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY. MARCH 4. 1901,
MAKING 1T A PARK.
Ordinance VIII BE Introduced I'm
Council for Emmett Park.

II is expected that Alderman Horrigan,
who has always been a strong champion
OF Emmett Park. that portion Of the
strand on Bay street. east. will introduce
an ordinance at the meeting of Council
on Wednesday night that will place the
park upon the list of those that are al
ready recognized as strictly speaking,
public parks. Emmett Park, it is said,
has never been in this class, and the res
idents OF that section Of the city desire
that it be so recognized.
The ordinance, it is said, will grow out
OF the agitation for the construction of
a roadway about the inner periphery of
the park. some Of the business houses on
Factors Walk desiring that such road
he established for their convenience in
handling their goods.
Alderman Horrigan and many OF the
residents of the section declare that the
construction of the roadway and pro-
posed paths across the park would de-
face It and render it less attractive. Mr..
L. y. Dafiin, chairman of the Park and
Tree Commission, insists that it would
have no such effect, and that the rights
OF property owners AMI tax payers along
by the Improvements should be consid-
cred
As an extra appropriation for the parks
and squares. $500 was, set aside by Coun-
Gil for the Improvement of Emmett Park.
1t is said Alderman Horrigans ordinance
to put the park in the class of those
legally recognized will mean that the ex-
penditure upon improvements may be
made. Mr.. Dafln considers that the
roadway and paths would be the improve
ment most serviceable but the residents
would prefer the park TO be simply made
more attractive in appearance, and not
opened up for roads.
Alderman Horrgan's ordinance is eX-
pected 40 fix the limits of the park. 1t
Is to extend from AbercOrn to East Broad
street. From Abercorn to Habersham,
teams are driven upon the strand, and it
is this that the champions OF the park
desire TO prevent.
Some opposition to such an ordinance
may develop. Representatives of the bus
mess houses have been among the Alder
men, asking that the road be constructed.
1t may be that a pretty fight will grow
out of the agitation.

HAVE THEIR NEW GUN.
Naval Reserves Have Received Their
HOtchkIss One-POunder.

The Naval Reserves have received the
Hotchkiss naval 1-pounder recently
given them by the Navy Department, and
the arrival of which they have looked for
ward to for some time.
In every respect the gun is fine piece
of mechanism. With the caisson it weighs
about 1000 pounds, and requires for it's
manipulation a complement of thirty-two
men. 1T throws a steel-pointed projectle
weighing one pound, which is able to
pierce an inch and a half of steel at the
distance of a mile and "a half.
The gun is intended to be moved by
means of drag ropes. 1t has also check
and guide ropes. The Reserves expect
to have parade soon during which the
gun will be seen by the public for the
first time.
Next month the Reserves will be taken
on their annual practice cruise probably
on the training ship Prairie. The exact
date of the beginning of the cruise nor
the destination of the ship have not been
settled, but it is quite possible that the
ship may go as far as the Bahamas.

MIR. C. f. Moses on the Golf Match at
jacksonville.


or the members of the Savannah Golf
Club team which, Saturday, in Jackson
vilIe played with team from the Flori-
da Country Club. only Mr.. C. F. Moses
has returned Messrs. C. w. Saussy and
Henry Blum, Jr, will return this morn
ing and Messrs, n. A. Hardee and Stein
Bryan have gone on a short visit TO st.
Augustine. 1t is possible that while there,
Mr.. Bryan may arrange with the team
of that city for a game with the Sa-
vannah players.
Mr.. Moses talked interestingly Fast night
of the Jacksonville trip. Except for the
fact that the Savannah men were beaten,
he safa. in every way it was most en-
joyable.
OF the game ITSELF he said all that can
be said is that the Savannahians were
outplayed They played exceptionally
good golf, but had better players for their
opponents. The Jacksonville men were in
exceptional good form, Macdonald making
: the round of the course in seventy-tive
strokes, equalling the club record.
OF the Savannah men. probably Moses
and Blum did the best playing, holding
their opponents down to the smallest
scores. The links, he says, are very good
ones of eighteen holes, having
all grass greens, and having
some very attractive short holes,
two especially one of 70 yards and the
other of 104 yards. The first in midiron
shot over bunker close to the green; and
the other midiron shot over a swamp.
Either of them sure to cause trouble II
the shots are not we'll made.
The game was watched by a very large
gallery. At the close of the match lun-
cheon was served at the club house by
the lady members of the club, while dur
ing the evening the Savannahians were
entertained by Mr. Barnett, captain OF
the Florida Country Club.
One of the very pleasant features of
the visit was the meeting by the Savan-
nahians of w. J. Travis, the amateur
golf champion, and Van Tassel Sutphen,
the editor of Golf, both good fellows as
well as good golfers. Travis. Mr.. Moses
described, as a wonderful golf machine.
He went over the links in "a strokes, low
ering the former record by one stroke.
Also he went over the course with MeSSrs.
Hardee aud Bryan. playing the best ball.
He won by the narrow margin of up and
l to play. The score reflects no small
credit on the Savannah men.
One of the disappointments OF the trip,
Mr.. Moses said, was the failure to meet
and play with THE Colonel" Col. j. Fl.
Gillespie, whom the Savannahians met
here, and who became at once, as he al
ways does. a prime favorite.
Messrs. Travis and Sutphen have prom
ised that when they come South next
winter they will visit Savannah and play
on the local links. Mr.. Travis compli-
mented the Savannahians on their play,
which is wonderful, he said. considering
the short time that the club has been in
existence.
