Three Sailors.

Jack Bowen. an East Side sailor
runner, was arrested yesterday by De-
tective Murphy and is held at the po-
lice station on a charge of enticing

and Pupils of st. Vincent de Paul
Assisted by Members of Cathedral
Choir.
The blessing and dedication of the
new ST. Joseph Hospital took place
yesterday before large gathering de-
spite the inclemency of the weather.
The ceremony was performed by Bish-
op Kelley assisted by Rev. Fathers
Aloysius, Gregory and Reich. Among
those present were many who have
been instrumental in raising the funds
for the erection of the building, mem
bers of the staff, and prominent citi-
zens to whom special invitations had
been sent.
The ceremonies took place at the
temporary altar erected at the western
end of the first floor corridor. Bishop
Kelly first invoked a blessing upon the
building, those that are to conduct the
hospital work and upon those that may
enter the institution in the form regu-
larly prescribed by the Roman Catho-
lie Church. This was done in Latin.
Afterward it was explained to the au-
II Df-k hn
sion to tell his hearers why the form
was used. 1t has been said of the Ro-
man Catholic Church, he re-
marked. that it requires much
faith but little in works. Such
a charge, said the Bishop. is refuted,
not only by the erection of such
building as the one being dedicated,
and by the years of faithful and excel
lent service of those that have had
in charge the st. Joseph's Infirmary,
but by similar buildings and works the
world over by members of all the or
CARNATIONS of the Roman Catholic
Church. The ceremonies were conclud-
ed with the benediction of the Blessed
Sacrament.
The musical part of the service was
excellently sung by the pupils and sis
ters of the Academy of st. Vincent de
Paul assisted by members of the choir
of Cathedral of St. John the Baptist.
At the conclusion of the services the
visitors inspected the building, and its
fixtures under the guidance of the sis
ters of the infirmary, and all were
very much impressed with it's size, ar
rangement and splendid appointment.
The hospital will be open for the re-
ception of patients, probably Sept. l.

to discuss matters of business in con-

Recently the congresses at Savan-

MARKED B1 Low TEMPERATURES.
August, Usually Hot, Has Not Yet
Registered 30 Degrees.

Registered DO Degrees.
August so far has been a most /un-
usual month from weather view
point. Usually il is one of the hottest
months of the year whereas in the pres
has not reached 80 degrees, the highest
point recorded being one degree below
that figure, and even that has been
reached only three times, on the Sth,
9th and 10TH The lowest maximum, 70
degrees, was registered on the first
The greatest minimum, rs, was regis
tered on the 18th, and the lowest, &c, on
the 25th The greatest mean, SO, &C.
CURED on the 18th.
Yesterday the maximum was Sc de-
greeS, and the minimum Sc, giving a
mean of rs, four degrees below the
normal, and increasing the deficiency of
the month to degrees, and that of the
year to 341 degrees. The rainfall, reg
istered at the bureau, was 1.24 inches,
but as the rain appeared to have been
much heavier in the southern part of
the city than in the northern it is
possible that the fall in places was
much heavier than that recorded. So
heavy was the downpour in the south
eastern part of the city that a sewer
at Henry and OFT streets was washed
in. Despite this, however, the month
still shows a deficiency of .S2 of an
inch. and the year a shortage of $50
inches.
That the temperature of the present
month has been exceptionally mild is
shown by comparison with that of
August of last year, and of the year
before. Last August the thermometer
reached 102 degrees, the highest point
reached in years, and the very lowest
maximum recorded was 81 degrees, but
two lower than the greatest maximum
for the present month. The highest
minimum was 49, and the lowest 60.
The rainfall was only POI inches, while
the normal was 7.74 The year, at that
time, likewise showed a shortage, 904
inches.
In August, 1899, the greatest maxi
mum recorded was 100 degrees but
that point was reached three times, and
temperatures of 80 and SO were of com
mon occurrence. The lowest maximum
was rs degrees. Besides being a hot
month. it was also an exceptionally
wet one, the rainfall amounting to 9.O4
inches, though the normal was but TIA
inches.
The state forecast for to-day is for
fair weather in western, showers in
eastern portion. Tomorrow partly
cloudy. probably showers. Light east.

of Sovereign Grand Lodge.

of Sovereign Grand Lodge.
The Sovereign Grand Lodge of odd
Fellows will meet in Indianapolis Sept.
Is. Four representatives will attend
from Georgia. Mr.. C. H. Dorset of
Savannah is one.
The Sovereign Grand Lodge is the
legislative head of Odd Fellowship in
the world, and is made up of represen-
tatives from every state and territory
in the United States and from the ju
risdictions of Europe, South America,
Australia, Cuba and other countries.
The sovereign lodge meets annually,
and while it's headquarters are in Bal
timore, for years for the good of the
order, it has met in the different large
cities OF this country. The body itself
is large. and then is attracted to it's
place of meeting, immense numbers of
odd Fellows from all portions of this
country. so that the hotel capacity of
large cities is taxed to accommodate
them.
Thousands of Odd Fellows in lodges,
encampments and cantons, the military
branch of the order, gather to join in
the parade, which is always a feature
of the occasion.
The personnel of the body has been
compared to the Senate of the United
States in its palmiest days; each juris-
diction. striving to send the best ma
terial it has. This results in a MEM
bership in which are numbered con-
gressmen, judges, lawyers, merchants,

BARS OF THE CLUBS
If THEY WERE OPEN, PROSECU-
TONS MAY BE EXPECTED.
so Mr.. WILSON DECLARED.
HE DID NOT INTEND ALLOWING
THEM OPEN YESTERDAY.

Investigation From the Attorney of

Club, the Hussars Club and the
Harmonic Club All Closed Their
Bars at IL O'Clock Saturday Night.
Didn't Want to DO 1t, but Prefer
red to Rather Than Take Chances.
the OgIethorpe Clubs Bar Was
Closed or Not.
Some investigation into the matter of
the social clubs bars-whether or not
they were open yesterday, may be look
ed for from Mr.. H. E. Wilson, attor-
ney of the Good Government League.
Mr.. Wilson said a few days ago, in an
interview in the Morning News, that
he would certainly not give the clubs
another Sunday to keep their bars
open. If they choose to keep them open,
he said, they will be prosecuted.
Yesterday was the day on which the
clubs were either to defy the Good
Government League and it's attorney
and keep their bars open, or grant the
request made upon them by Mr.. Will
son. and close down.
For three of the clubs the question
may be easily answered. They closed
their bars. They closed them promptly
at II o'clock Saturday night. No sa-
loon keeper, striving to avoid the i'm
position of fine in these moral times
hax
Sam Jones to Savannah and efforts
made by those he aroused to action
could have been more Jealous in obey
ing the law.
The Tomochichi Club, the Hussars'
Club and the Harmonic Club all closed
their bars promptly. They did it with
out protest. They did not care to
brave the matter out, running the
chance of a fine They concluded that
the easiest course would be to simply
comply with Mr.. Wilson's request. 1t
is safe to presume that the majority of
the members and officers of the clubs
did not want to take this action, as
the bars had been run on Sundays for
years, but the Good Government
League has shown itself in earnest in
other matters, and the clubs had no
reason to suppose that it was not posi-
tive in this new issue.
With the Oglethorpe Club there may
be another story. 1t is believed that it
did not close its bar. Upon that point
however, no positive statement can be
made Club members did not care TO
express themselves. 1t will remain for
investigation to prove whether the bar
was opened and liquors were sold.
A representative of the Morning
News rang up the Oglethorpe Club last
night to inquire if the bar had been
open during the day.
Hello, is that the Oglethorpe Ciub?"
he asked.
Eyes, SIR" was the reply.

''Hello!'-from the assistant superin-
tendent.
This is the Morning News. Was
your bar open to-day?"

ply.
Many of the members of the Ogle-
thorpe Club have expressed themselves
as decidedly opposed TO closing the bar
on Sunday. They want to keep open,
let the result be what it may.
