TO CALL A PASTOR.
Resignation of Rev. w. f. Watkins
Accepted by Christian Church.

Accepted by Christian Church.
The congregation of the Christian
Church on Bolton street did not call
pastor yesterday, but a committee was
appointed to look into the matter of the
succession to the pastorate. left vacant
by the resignation of Rev. w. F. Wat
kins. On the committee are Mr.. o. F.
Pace, chairman; Mr. W. l.. Salter, and Mr..
A. A. Artley.
The resignation of Mr.. Watkins was for
mally received. Its acceptance leaves the
pastorate vacant, and the committee will
take steps at once 10 see that il is filled.
1t is expected that some weeks Will elapse
before the necessary negotiations can be
completed and a pastor secured.
Two or three ministers are in mind, and
it is probable that they will be written
to at once relative to the pastorate. Until
something definite has been ascertained
as to the position of the gentlemen con-
sidered, however, and their willingness to
accept a call, if rendered, the committee
will give no names.
Until a successor to Mr.. Watkins has
been secured, services at the church will
be conducted on Sunday mornings by
some one of the members. The commit
tee will make the arrangements for this
supply of the pulpit. Such a service was
conducted yesterday morning.

Bob" has not been seen for several
days and the men at Central fire station
on Oglethorpe avenue are depressed in
spirits. Bob" is a fox coored ST. Ber-
nard dog that for several years has ac-
companied the apparatus of the station

a member of the company and the ca

though owned by a lady residing in the
neighborhood Of the fire station the dog
scarcely ever showed up at his first home

owned him.

A large congregation gathered for the

from Genesis, 3:4-5: And the serpent

die, for God doth know that in the day
We eat thereof. then your eyes shall be
opened, and We shall be as gods, know

The Temptation of Eden" was the
subject, and Mr. Harms gave the spirit

ed that curiosity is the first step toward
evil, as illustrated i'm Ewes desire to eat

He arrived in Savannah last week, his
mission being to join in wedlock Mr.. f.
w. Henges and Miss Estelle Kuck, which
ceremony will be performed tomorrow
night at the Lutheran Church of the AS

were friends from boyhood, and the lat

the ceremony.

interest in Mr. Harms and his success.

SHOULD NOT JUDGE HASTILY.
Mr.. Theus Thinks Pension Business
should he Investigated First.

Mr.. S. E. Theus, who has always been
prominently identified with the Confed-
crate Veterans Association of Savannah,
discussed with Morning News reporter
yesterday the recent trouble that has
come up in regard to the Confederate pen
sion roll of Chatham county, the conse-
quent recommendation by the grand jury
that the Legislature look into the matter.
and the appointment of a committee for
a similar purpose by the Veterans Asso-
citation, the latter of which, also, it is I'M
derstood. will investigate pensions now
being drawn to see if the pensioners are
entitled to them.
Mr.. Theus. who is member of this
committee. is a warm personal friend of
Mr.. John Lindsay. Pension Commissioner.
He served with him in the same brigade
i'm Virginia. Mr.. Lindsay, he says, was a
member of the Third Georgia Regiment,
and a gallant soldier, and merits the full
est confidence of the veterans of the state
II do not think It possible" said Mr..
Theus. that any pension claim could
have been refused except for reasons fully
apparent to the commissioner, but Of
which the general public may be entirely
ignorant. l. therefore, think that in this
matter public opinion should be held in
allegiance until the commissioner can be
heard from, or. at least. until the COM
mttee has fully investigated the cases
that brought about the complaint"
Continuing, Mr.. Theus said that It
was nothing extraordinary that the num-
Der of pensions granted to veterans in
this county should be so small in COM
parison with the number of men whom
the records show enlisted from Chatham
because men enlisted here from all the
adjoining counties. Many OF these men,
after the war. returned each to his home.
and in the majority of cases is drawing
or has drawn a pension from his home

The March meeting of the Board of Ed
ucation, which will be held at Chatham
Academy tonight. will be marked by the
election of a principal of the Anderson
Street School, to succeed the late Bascom

For this position there are eighteen or
twenty applications, and it is believed
that from this large number of applicants
the board will have no difficulty in select
ing thoroughly competent man for the
place. Those who are seeking il range
In fitness, of course. from the best to the
worse, but there are enough of the for
mer class to make the difficulty of choos-
ing successor to Mr.. Glenn a matter of
selection only. There are several appli-
cants at least, any one of whom could
fill the place acdeptably.
The board viii have TO select, also. a

BEER BOTTLE AS WEAPON.
Negro Woman Broke Bottle Over
Her Lovers Head.

ored section of the Tenderloin district
the head of Julius Hill yesterday afte--
noon. The assault was committed at No
sos York street lane, east, and the wo-
man was placed under arrest by City
Detective Murphy. Hills head was badly
cut by the glass and lie was sent TO the
Georgia Infirmary. in the police ambu-
lance, by Police Surgeon Osborne.
1t appears that the man and woman
had been close friends and that a trifiing
dispute provoked the assault. Hill was
reported as resting quietly last night and
he will probably be able to appear against
the woman in Police Court this morning.

NEWSPAPER ENGLISH.
A. . Rule Simplicity and Directness
Are Employed.

Are Employed.
Newspaper English, which has been
the object of so much flippant and sar-i
castle comment from all sorts of people,
has found champion. Professor I. n.
Lounsbury, who as the author OF an ad-
mirable history of the English language
is qualified to spenk, in recent address
opposed the hackneyed theory that news
papers are chiefly responsible for the cor
ruption of the English language. He
recognized the fact that there are news
papers and newspapers, and that much
hurried writing is necessarily done.
But" he went on, THE writers connect
ed with the more important Journals are
a picked body of men. They are inva-
riably under an influence which tends to
promote perspicuity and energy of express
sion. In education and ability newspa-
per men are. as class, far superior to
those who set out to be their critics and
censors."
Certain newspapers, it must be admit
ted. have given cnnse for the censorious
remarks about newspaper English"
Persons who read without discrimination
make no distinction between these publ
cations and others which strive conscien-
umns from trite und slipshod expressions.
There journals which do not care 20.
facts. For the sins OF these the whole
press is not to be Unfortunately con-
dcmned. In all OF the better newspapers
simplicity and dircctness are constantly
sought for. Fine writing" is held as an
abomination. Their dispatches do not re-
fer to battleships as steel thunderers Of
the deep" or to dancing party as a
''terpsichorean function" Such things
are minor matters, but they go long
way toward good style.
In writing. as in any other line of work,
practice makes perfect. 1t is only rea-
sonnble to expect men who make busi-
ness of writing about things they see to
do it we'll. During a week any first class
newspaper contains a dozen bits of de-
scription or narration which, in vigor and
life. excel much of the composition in the
popular novel OF the day. The value of
the newspaper as u training school for
writers is shown by the careers of the
men whose books are most read. Glenn
ems, Kipling. Eugene Field, Richard
Harding Davis, Stephen Crane, George
w. Cable, Howells and scores of others
have served their apprenticeship as re-
porters. Much OF their anonymous work
for newspapers was as good as that
which later won them fame.
A newspaper is not a monthly maga-
zine. In hurried work lapses are sure 10
be- made. A correspondent writing de
scription of national convention at the
rate of 200 words an hour cannot stop
to consider whether he has split an in
fnitive or put his "only" in the right

description of the scene. The reader will
see oil the life and color OF an exciting
moment. He will hear the confused din
OF the shouting and will follow tho pro
cession OF the standards Of the states
around the hall. Yet few persons will
arise from reading such an article with
the sole comment that newspapers con-
tinually use the pernicious ..'is being
form Of the verb. To such critics "a
these Professor Lounsbury's remarks are
: addressed.
