Men of Truck ID Given n supper by
Their Night Instructor, and He
f. Remembered With
Fine Umbrella.

Prof. r. Raymond Rlordon, director Of
night schools in the District, helped the
men behind the hose of Truck ID. to steal
a little sweetness from the coming holiday
season In the supper he gave them last
night at the truckhousS. corner Of New
Jersey Avenue and NJ Streets
The men have been under Mr.. Riordon's
tuition since the beginning of the school
/ year. and the feed yesterday evening was
to show them his appreciation of the
progress they have made in their studies.
Firemen show Appreciation.
This feeling of appreciation was reclp-
rocated by the hremen. in presenting their
tutor with handsome silver topped UNI
hrella. suitably inscribed.
The men sat down at the table spread
in the dormitory shortly after s O'Clock.
; Foreman Nicholson presiding, with Mr.
{ kiordon and Assistant Chief Kurtz on
/ eithor side.
/ After the coffee had been served MIR
/ Nicholson disappeared from the room. re-
turning with something concealed behind
him. while his subordinates winked at
each other knowingly
Eloquent Foreman Nicholson.
The foreman, who can talk as well as
he can fight fire. handed his host some
pretty and well-chosen compliments as
TO the manner in which he was regarded
by the flrcmen.
AS a very slight evidence OF the great
esteem in which We hold you" said the
foreman. we present you this umbrella.
Not only as "A holiday gift do We give II,
but as testimonial Of the grateful place
you occupy now, and always will, in the
hearts Of the men Of Truck D. for you
have been awfully good TO us. and If our
wishes can make a happy Christmas for
you, yours ought TO be a cOrker.'
As the speaker finished, the men arose
and gave their teacher three times
three, in ringing cheers.
The H.roism of Life.
when Mr.. Riordon recovered from his
surprise he thanked The donors in
speech that scintillated Nlth good things
about his guests
The true heroizm Of life" he said in
conclusion, consists In the conscientious
performance Of unpleasant duties. and
where viii we find duties so arduous,
dangerous and eXacting as those ever
present in the life of a fireman."
During the evening Miss Ida Tompkins
recitcd with much dramatic fire several
selections picturing life as hremen find

witness anything funnier than the atti-
tude of the president, who stated in
effect on the stand that while no
crime had been committed, he refused
to answer questions on the ground that
he would incriminate himself? All,
getlemen, these may be the best citi-
zens in the community, but when ac-
cused of an offense against the law,
they defend themselves like the rest of
u.s."
Col. MeIdrim's Argument.
The concluding argument was made
by Col Meldrim. He quoted from
decision of Justice Warner, that the
purpose of the law against keeping
open tipping houses on Sunday was
to remove temptation from idle and
dissolute persons, who might be dis
posed to congregate in such places and
defy the law
do you think gentlemen" he asked.
that members of this club can be des-
cribed as idle and dissolute persons
and that they go to the club on Sun
day to congregate and violate the
law?"
Col. Meldrim insisted that the ques-
ton whether the Oglethorpe Club was
a tipping house was a matter of fact,
for the jury to determine, and declar-
ed that no evidence had been adduced
that would make such a description
applicable.
Judge Seabrook's charge to the jury
was a plain statement of the law. He
told the jury that the fact that club
was an exclusive social organization
made it none the less a tipping house,
If it was a place in which liquor was
bought and drunk. He said further
that If such a place were kept open
and liquor drunk therein on Sunday 1t
would be a violation of the law and
the jury should return a verdict of
guilty. OF course, whether it was
such a place and whether liquor had
been drunk on Sunday, were questions
of fact for the jury to determine.
The jury wrestled with the case from
80 o'clock, when 1t retired, until 10: 80
o'clock, when 1t returned a sealed YER
dict. The verdict, which will be open
ed and read this morning, is mot
guilty"

DISCUSSED CHURCH MATTERS.
Annual Meeting of First Baptist
Church to BE Held Oct. 80.

Annual Meeting of First Baptist
Church to Be Held Oct. 80.
A meeting of the male members Of
the First Baptist Church was held in
the Sunday-school room last night to
consider how best to secure an added
interest and cooperation of the con-
gregation in the church work, and
also to discuss other church matters,
particularly the church's financial sys-
tenn and discipline.
The meeting began with devotional
services, conducted by Rev. DIR. John
D. Jordan, and then the meeting was
thrown open for discussion. Talks
were made by many of the most prom
inent of the members. but the one that
received most general favor was the
suggestion of Mr.. W. c. Powell that
the church appoint a salaried treasurer
who shall, as far as possible, relieve
the pastor of the business portion of
the church's work, and thus allow him
more time to devote to the spiritual
needs of the congregation, to pastoral
visits, study, and the preparation of
his sermons. The discussion lasted I'M
til nearly 10 o'clock, and then only a
part of the programme of the meeting
had been carried out. The discussion
Will be taken up again at some future
time.
1t is quite probable that these sub
jects, especially the matter of securing
a paid treasurer, will be taken up at
the annual meeting and election of
the church, which will be held Oct. 80.

this train is distinctly a Southern Rail-
way undertaking, to be carried out at
a heavy expense to that company, and

so persistently followed in building up

leave Washington about November /.
1t will consist Of about ten cars, on
which will be transported all necessary
machinery for the building of roads,
officers, road experts and laborers. The

AN INTERNAL REMEDY
COnvenient-CuresE Every Form of
Catarrb.

A Pleasant Tasting TabIet-SimpIe,
COnvenient-CuresE Every Form of
Catarrb.
The use of inhalers, douches, sprays,
salves and powders for catarrh is a
nuisance and inconvenience at the best
and cannot compare with antiseptic
remedies in tablet form for internal
use.
Internal remedies are the only ones
which can really reach the seat of the
disease which is in the blood and local
applications can no more cure catarrh
than rheumatism or kidney trouble,
the excessive secretion in nose and
throat being local manifestations OF
deep seated poison in the blood.
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets. the most
successful Of the various internal rem
idies, is composed principally Of high
ly concentrated antiseptics. which de-
stroy the catarrh germs in the blood
and causes them to be eliminated
through the natural channels.
Progressive physicians use and ad-
wise Stuart's Catarrh Tablets because
they contain no cocaine. no opium. no
enervating drug whatever. but are
composed Of Guaiacol. Hydrastin, Red
Gum and similar catarrh antiseptics,
and are so safe and pleasant that even
little children may use them with eX
cellent results.

WILL DIVIDE INTO CLASSES.
Arrangements for the Final Per-
fOrmances of "Encha ntment"

thC IeF-
fOrmances of "Encha ntment."
The cool weather has induced the
Savannah Fair Association to abandon
all further effort to give "Enchant-
ment" in the open air. and it has ar
ranged TO give the final performance
at the Savannah Theater Friday af-
ternoon and night, October 25. The
arrangement will be welcomed by
many people who have not yet seen the
pretty spectacle, and 1t is hoped that
two packed houses will witness the
production at the theater. A few re-
hearsals will be necessary to fit the
big affair to the size of the theater
stage. the first of which will occur at
the Guards Hall Saturday afternoon
at 3 80 o'clock, and all who are to take
part in the performances must be at
the rehearsal, as a division is TO be
made so that one class will appear at
the matinee performance and the other
at the night performance. as the stage
will not accommodate so many par
Elephants at one time. The prices will
remain the same as at the Fair
grounds.
