A SERMON FOR WOMEN.
Rev. George n. Stuart Addressed
1000 at Wesley Monum entail.

At night Mr.. Stuart preached to a con-
gregation of women at Wesley Monumen-
tai Church. His congregation numbered
only very few men, but the church was
crowded with women from the chancel
rail to the last seat in the gallery.
There must have been at least 1000 wo-
men present, and Mr.. Stuart preached a
powerful and yet tender and reverent
sermon, with absolutely nothing in 1t that
could offend the most fastidious and that
yet carried conviction in its every word.
1t was plea for the exercise by women
of all their influence for good and their
abandonment of every practice that could
even possibly have an influence for evil.
He had no text, and his talk consisted
entirely, or almost entirely, of a series OF
stories, which he said were taken from
the hundreds of thousands that had been
told him or. that had come under his per-
soHal observation, during his twelve years
of active work as an evangelist. The SER
mon was directed against card playing
drinking and dancing, and he had Illus
trations 10 show that every one of these
amusements could bring on, as it had
brought on, long train of miseries and
unhappiness.

Interesting Programme of Exercises
by the Sunday school.

Interesting Programme of Exercises
by the Sunday school.
The anniversary and the children's day
exercises of the Wesley Monumental Sun
day-school were held yesterday morning
az IL o'clock. The exercises were most
interesting and enjoyable, and were well
attended by the general public, as well
as the children of the Sunday-school.
The programme was begun with the
song by the school, MY Faith Looks Up
to Thee" which was followed by prayer
delivered by Rev. Ed. F. Cook, who, also.
after the singing of another hymn, read
a scriptural lesson on Faith, Hope and
Love"
Reports were received from the follow
ing officers: Superintendent of the Sun
dayschool, superintendent of the home
department, of the primary department,
and of the secretary and treasurer. At
ter each report there was an intermission
during which a song was sung, the most
enjoyable of these was the solo III Go
Where You Want Me to Go, Dear LORD, y
by Mrs. ". ]. Alderman.
The reports collectively show the Sun
day-school to be in most fiourishing con-
dition from the standpoint of membership
as we'll as finance.
The sermon of the day was preached by
Rev. Ed. F. Cook, who spoke from the
text Isaiah xviii: o. Now therefore be
ye not Knockers lest your bands be made
strong: for 1 have heard from the Lord
God of hosts consumption, even deter
mined upon the whole earth.

First Vaudeville Performance VIII
he Given at Casino Tonight.


General Manager McIntire of the Sa-
vannah, Thunderbolt and Isle of Hope
Railway Company had his hands fun yes
terday afternoon in accommodating the
crowds that visited the Casino. Sacred
music was played by the orchestra, and
hundreds of persons enjoyed the breezes
from the Casino piazza. Benches have
been placed throughout the grounds and
these were filled with the patrons of the
road. Ice cream and soda water and
light lunches were served during the af-
ternoon and evening.
The Casino Vaudeville Company has ar
rived and the first performance of the
season will be given this evening The
curtain will go up at $3.50 O'Clock, and
after the programme has been carried
out there will be dancing Mr.. McIntire
said that he will have enough cars to han
die the crowds that he expects to visit
the Casino. The new cars ordered several
weeks ago have not yet arrived, but are
expected daily.
Tybee was also well patronized during
the day, and several hundred persons
went to that resort. Isle of Hope was
also literally patronzed, and the belt
lines in the city did big business. The
Charleston excursion over the Plant
system took a large crowd over in the
morning, and many of the South Caro-
linians visited this city.

RECEIVED FIRST COMMUNION.
Interesting Service Mt the Cathedral
of st. John the Baptist.

of st. John the Baptist.
A class of sixty boys and girls, having
successfully passed an examination in
their catechism, received their first COM
munon at the Cathedral of St. John the
Baptist yesterday morning at the first
mass.
The children gathered in the basement
of the church, then in procession marched
into the main auditorium and down the
main aisle to seats reserved for them at
the front of the church. The procession
was an exceedingly pretty one, all of the
girls being dressed in white and wearing
white wells and chaplets of flowers. The
boys were robed in black or blue, and each
wore a bow of white ribbon on his arm.
During the procession chorus of fifty of
the Sunday school children sang 20 Lord
I Am Not Worthy" and during mass sang
also Upon the Altar Night and Day,
Accept Almighty Father" Come Jesus,
Come" and repeated 20 Lord l Am Not
Worthy during the administration of the
communion. Their last selection was
Thou for Whom I've Long Been Sigh
ing"
Father r. F. Kennedy celebrated the
mass, and at IT'S conclusion addressed the
children. He spoke of the building of the
Cathedral as a temple of God in which
He should ever abide and be worshipped.
and said that to God also were dedicated
as many living temples as there were,
those that took first communion. He con-
graduated the children on the step they
had taken in their religious life and told
them of the qualification that it was to
parents and teachers who for so many
years had labored to fit them for the oc-
casion.
Sunday night at 8 o'clock Bishop Kelley
will administer to the members of the
class the sacrament of confirmation.

WANT NEW LAWS.
President Hull Talks of Meeting of
Insurance Agents.

The Savannah fire insurance agents who
attended the third annual convention Of
the Georgia Local Underwriters Associa-
ton, returned from Atlanta yes
day greatly pleased with the
treatment accorded them in the
Gate City. and thoroughly satisfied
with the business transacted ct the ses-
sions. Mr.. Robert NJ. Hull of Savannah
was reelected president of the organiza-
ton. and Mr.. w. +. Train was placed on
the executive committee.
President hul stated that the meeting
had been a successful one from every
point of view. Mr.. W. L. Wilson read L
paper on Brokerage" in which he es-
pecially called the attention Of the body
TO the manner in which the New York
and ether foreign brokers invade the ter
ritory of the local agents Mr.. Wilson
thought this manfestly unfair, and point
ed to the fact that the state derives no
beneht from the men who do this sort Of
business. The paper was an able one, and
received the hearty Endorsement Of the as
ISOLATION.
During the convention three bills were
proposed for passage at the coming ses-
sion of the Legislature, and they viii be
introduced at that time. Probably the
most important of the three measures is
the one which will make it a misdemeanor
Tor an insurance agent to sign blank pol
icies. This is frequently done now by
agents, and the desired change will af-
feet not few members of the organiza-
iion AS matters now stand blank poll
cies are signed by many agents to be used
in neighboring cities.
A request Will also be made 10 have the
state make the deposit of each company
$4,000 1t was reduced some time ago to
$4,000 This is not considered an adequate
amount to pay claims in case a company
decides to discontinue business in the
state. The agents are emphatic in this
respect, and insist that no amount less
than $4,000 should be accepted as deposit
to guarantee the payment of all claims.
The third law proposed is to protect the
state agents who pay taxes for doing bust
ness. 1t is to prevent foreign companies
or concerns who have no Representative
in Georgia from furnishing policies. 1t is
pointed out that 1t is not fair TO let COM
panies who do not pay anything to the
state do business in this territory. A
similar law is in vogue in Florida. The
next annual meeting will be held in Ma
con.

KILLED YACHT CLUBS PET.
Tame Crane Shot by Man Who
Climbed Over the Fence.

The big white crane at the Savannah
Yacht Club was shot and killed yesterday,
and the members of the club are naturally
greatly wrought up over it. The bird was
tame, and was a great pet.
The dead body of the bird was found
near the depot by Superintendent Hidwell,
and an investigation developed the fact
that some smart young man had emptied
one chamber of his revolver into the
cranes body. A trolley car motorman
stated that he saw man jump the Yacht
Club fence and kill the bird with mis- re-
volVer When told what he had done by
the trolley car man he dropped the bird.
According to the motormans story the
stranger thought the crane was a wild
one He took a car for the city immedi-
ately, and made his escape before the ar
rival of Superintendent Kidwell. The
members of the club will make every eff
fort to have the man arrested and pun
ished. The bird was brought TO Savan-
nah from Echois county, and had been on
the club grounds for several weeks.
