TREES FOR THE PARK.
They Will Be Planted Mon
day With Appropriate
Exercises.

Interest in the exercises in connection
with the planting of trees in Little Italy S
Park on Labor Day has increased. The
exercises promises to attract a large
crowd of people who are interested in the
securing of parks in all sections of the
city. The Womans Club has donated $25
towards the purchase of trees. The
Commissioners have taken no action in
the matter of naming it so far, and it is
probable that in answer to a public de-
,nand 1t will be named after Mrs. Benson.
The trees bought with the s25 contributed
by the Women's Club will be planted by
the city.
The principal exercises will be conduct
ed by the Cadet Corps of No. School,
who will dedicate nine trees-three by
City Collector Robert Davis, five by
Robert Anderson, the Grove street hard
ware man, and one by Simon Mayer. The
corps, under command of Major Harry
Gillen. will leave No. 9 School on Monday

City Hall to Henderson street, Montgom-
cry, to Grove, to Mercer, to Brunswick
to Newark avenue, to the park The
programme of the exercises will be opened
by the singing of THE Red, White and

Continued from Tenth Page.

came down the Savannah river in bat
eaux.
One of the elders was asked il he did
not think that time would be saved that
might be devoted to their work to bet
ter advantage If they rode on a train,
but his answer was to the contrary. A
house-to-house method is followed by
them in the dissemination of their relig-
ion, and they believe they follow the
manner of the apostles in so preaching
They do not conflne themselves to any
one locality, but are constantly on the
move. They travel without purse and
without script" relying upon God to care
for them. Most of them have means in
dependent of the church, and it is from
them that they derive the money they
need for their existence. They never take
UP a collection.
The elder said they find that the peo-
pie in the country are ready to receive
them at night, taking them into their
homes and giving their hospitality. The
nl-repute in which they were held at first
is gradually disappearing, and 1t is the
exception, rather than the rule, when
they are treated inconsiderately Seldom
is 1t that violence is offered them, he
said. and then it is when the locality IN
which they find themselves is of the low
est order in point of intelligence of its
inha bitants.
In pairs the elders tramp about the
country, holding meetigs wherever they
may. They have prayer and songs in
their service and preach sermons, draw
ing their texts from the Old or the New
Testament. They believe that some OF
the prophecies of the Old Testament are
yet to be fulfilled. Elder II. P. Hanson
is president of the Georgia conference.
He has been i'm Savannah for several
months and has been conducting services.

Mr. W. 4. Leopold grand keeper of
records and seals of the Knights of Pythi-
as order of Georgia. has received from
the supreme chancellor some interesting
information about the order as a whole
throughout the country.
No part of this information is more in
teresting or shows the order in a better
light than that of the contributions to
the relief of the Galveston storm suffer-
ers. The supreme chancellor reports that
Chairman Griggs of the General Relief
Committee of Houston reports, under date
of Jan. ,, that the total amount received

tai amount received by his committee in
answer to direct appeals, other than the
amount received from the Houston COM
mittee, is $5,576.13, making a total con-
tribution to both committees of $40, 1854.
The two committees had on hand al the

Mayor Myers May Not Announce
Them Monday.

Mayor Myers said yesterday that he
had not yet selected his standing commit
tees from the new board of aldermen and
he did not know that he would name them
when the board is sworn in Monday noon
The mayor said he might wait until the
regular meeting OF council on the Wed
nesday night following.
There Is considerable speculation as 10
who will be on the committees 1t Is
generally understood that Alderman
Frank will be chairman of the police
committee to succeed Alderman Schwar2,
but this appears TO be the only certainty.
Alderman James NJ. Dixon will be chair
man OF Council. and il is also probable
!. is said. that the Mayor will settle upon
him as chairman of the Finance Commit
tee. In that case Alderman Dixon will
succeed to the honors of Alderman Tiede-
man of the present board. Alderman X.
l.. Holland stood next TO Alderman Dixon
in the race. and he may be elected wee
chairman of Council.
Mr.. Myers will read his annual report
when the old board retires and the new

Iy TO the Councils Exchequer.


Iy to the Councils ExcheGuer.
The annual ball of the Savannah Coun-
ell No. /, Order American Firemen, was
given last night at she Guards Hall and
proved quite a success from every stand
point. The attendance was exceedingly
large. a fair estimate placing it between
$50 and 300
The hall had been tastefully decorated,
bamboo vines being Topped from the raft
ers and on the chandeliers. and so ar
ranged as almost to hide the orchestra.
The lights were colored red and gave a
soft and rosy tint to the costumes of the
dancers.
An excellent programme of twenty
numbers of dance music was furnished by
Rosenfeld's orchestra. Dancing began
early in the evening and lasted until
midnight when supper was served. Dane
ing was then resumed and continued I'M
til early this moring.
The supper, which was an excellent
one. was served by the Parsonage Aid So
ciety Of the Lutheran Church OF the AS
cension Nine tables beautifully decorat-
cd were arranged in two OF the company
rooms on the lower floor OF the man, ana
laid TO seat 225 persons
The ball was given for the benefit of the
endowment fund of the order, which is
a fraternal one. organized in the interest
of firemen and ex-firemen, to whom II
pays both sick and death benefits.
The treasury of the Savannah Councll
will be materially added to as the result

hard for the success of the affair, but

FNUray ON the Police Court Did Not
Mark the End of PrecautiOn.

Mark the End of PrecautiOn.
The onslaught of the city physicians
upon the crowd gathered at the Police
Court day before yesterday morning
marks only the beginning, not the end,
of the precaution against the possibility
of smallpox getting a foothold in Savan-
nah. Mayor Myers said yesterday that
the health officer will continue his efforts
to have every one vaccinated who has not
undergone the operation successfully. The
measure is not for the correction of any
present evil, but to prevent the chance
of the appearance of the disease in any
thing like epidemic form.
The few cases of smallpox now at the
pesthouse are negroes who came to Sa-
vannah from the South Carolina coast or
who caught the disease from others who
visited the city from the coast. Mayor
Myers hopes that his letter to the Gov
ernor of Georgia, who in turn wrote the
Governor of South Carolina, may be effec-
tive in inducing the South Carolina state
authorities and the Marine Hospital Ser
vice to stamp out the disease on the sea
islands and along the coast.
