These trees will be of different va
rieties, selected particularly with a
view to suiting the climate in
which they will he grown Many
of these will ne nut tfees, such as
pecans and other varieties which
wi grow in this country. Secre-
tary Wilson determined to distrib-
ute the trees with the hope of i'm
planting a love of trees in the

The Cosmopolitan for August
reveals the late Grant Allen in a
new light-that of a keen and
clever satirist OF modern Society,
not only in England, but in the
world at large The Cosmopoli-
tan, Immediately ON his death, Sc
cured from his son all his papers,
and the clever allegory-"Tho
Temple of Fate e'-in the August
is one Of those selected.
Like "The British Aristocracy" in
the April Cosmopolitan, the pres
ent article impresses itself ON the
reader with direct fearlessness
which is a new quality in the au-
thor's work. If it is true that all
the world loves a lover, then Ed
gar Saltus's clever, epigramatic
story of the princes who have re-
linquished thrones, position,
wealth-everything-to marry the
woman they loved, should indeed
be popular.

Love and Duty Lead 10 Death.

Oll NdtuIudy HiSht, bdlN -, III
the city of Louisville fire occur
red. a cigar maker, Max Belo-
witch, and a patrolman named
Purdon lost their lives.
Purdon had lost his lie in the
effort to save the life of Belovitch,
who lost his life in the effort to
save the life of Rosa Warner, who
lived above one Of the stores, and
to whom he was engaged and with
whom he was in love. When the
fire broke out he was not present.
Rose and her mother had been res
cued but were lost in the crowd
when he reached the scene, and
he was under the impression that
his sweetheart was in her apart
ments, and this simple cigar ma
ker rushed up the stairs to rescue
her whom he loved. But as he
did so the patrolman attempted to
prevent him from going in, and
when this failed he followed him
to save his life. Falling walls
killed both.
The editor of the Morning Her
aid, Lexington, in praising their
heroism, says:
We forget that the truth is that
we are sons Of God; that in some
mysterious but real sense the AL
mighty created us; that in the
| likeness of the Divine Original
this race of ours was formed: that
each Of us carries about with us
obscured, IL may be defaced by
our lives, but really existing some
of his light and power and will.
1t was not a figure of speech when
it was said by inspiration that
man was little lower than the An
gels. This is sober fact, a SIM
pie, practical reality. And it is
because of this that these acts
like that Of this plain cigar ma
ker and that equally simple patrol
man of Louisville are so common ;
and it is because of this that those
who realize it and believe it as a
fact never despair of the future.
No cloud can be so black, no con
dition so deplorable, no state of
community so lamentable as to
make those who do believe this
truth despair of reformation, res
toration and progress. When "A
plain cigar maker in the commu-
nifty can die for love and the pa
trolman die for duty, surely we
need not despair Of the community
of which they are members.

be had. Lippman Bros, of this city
import their Scotch and Irish WHISTLES
from Kirker Greer & Co., of Belfast

import their fine Rhine and Mozeile
wines from Frankfort, Germany. Their
fine French clarets and fine French

France. They also import their lime
juice from Leath, Scotland. Anybod v
can make an advertisement like the
above, but we can substantiate what
we say by telling our customers and
friends to apply to the United States
Custom House of this city, where thew

ed from these countries the property
of Lippman Bros.
We want to get the best trade on
these goods, and therefore shall reta II

More space is needed for the display
eral Manager A. B. Moore thinks it
possible that he may be able to pro-
vide the needed space by a different
arrangement of exhibits in the build
ings, but it may yet be found that, to
accommodate all the counties of Geor>
gia that seek to capture the rich prizes
the Fair Association offers. another
building will have to be erected. A
suggestion has been made that large
tents might be provided for additional
county exhibits. but Mr.. Moore is un-
der the impression that he can make
the present buildings answer by re-
arrangement of spaces reserved, at the
same time giving each county the
space desired.

its. They are Bib. Bulloch, Barlow,

suits in conversions. The afternoon
meeting yesterday was we'll attended,
and the congregation at the night serv-
ice was a large one, with number of
converts as the fruit of both meetings.
Mr.. Wolfsohn sang sweetly, and his
rendition of MY Mothers Prayer"
caused eyes to fill and hearts to stir.
Rev. Mr. Van Deventer had for his
text the clause, And thou shalt can
his name Jesus, for he shall save his
people from their sins" Matthew 1:21.
His sermon was full of interest and be
held the attention of his audience.
THE world centers around this name
of Jesus" he said. From that hour all
time is reckoned. 1t is 5000 years be-
fore Jesus; it is 1901 years since Jesus
time. The name of Jesus has woven
itself into this worlds life. There is
no name on earth so dear, no name in
heaven so sweet, as Jesus, blessed
Jesus. There are some things l wish
to say about this name tonight, for
my theme is Jesus"
Rev. Mr.. VanDeventer said that If
we look at His name from human
standard He was simply man, like
other men, except that He was better
man, and a man in every sense of the
word. Some have for their concep-
ton of what it is to be a man. that
it is to be able to crafty their wishes,
do as they please without restraint,
but that is not true conception. We
must look TO a higher standard than
that, to a divine standard. 1t was
brought out how perfect a life was
that of Jesus, from childhood to His
death. 1t was an ideal, because a per-
feet life. We should aim for it, try to
attain it. No man ever did that which
was glorious and inspiring to those
around him that he did not try to do
those things. Noble acts do not come
by chance.
Jesus was not only a true concep-
ton of manhood, but he was Savior
who had a work to do, and he did it
well he came to save his people from
their sin. The unsaved man is like
the lost sheep or the lost coin in the
parallels. The coin in the dust still has
its value, but its service has been lost.
Jesus saves us from our frightful self
God says 1 send my son into the world
to save the dissipated man from that
dissipated self, to save the swearer the
dishonest man, the unbeliever, and the
most wretched and sinful
L cannot give you a better closing
than just that he saves us from our
sinful selves, our doubling selves, our
unbelieving selves, our dissipated and
wicked selves. Jesus came to save his
people from their SINS
Many responded to the invitations,
and large number remained at the
after meeting. Meetings will be held
in the afternoon at 4 o'clock, and at s
o'clock at night throughout the week

ferred to, each and every one of them:
and to say of all religious discourses l
ever listened to, they made the deepest
impression on me. I am not theolo-
gian enough to pronounce upon their
conformity to scientific theology, but
they seem to me to harmonic, certain
ly in most respects, with the principles
of common sense and sound logic.
They appear calculated to afford very
strong assistance in solving some of
the grave difficulties that beset the
close and candid thinker in his specu-
lations on religious topics; and this
sort of benefit 1 count confidently on
deriving from them "

CLAIMS SNAKE BIT HER.

Whiskey.

Goldie Snow, a woman known to the
police as the Gypsy fortune teller,
claims to have been bitten by rattle
snake at the county farm, where she
is serving a term for drunkenness and
vagrancy. Some of those who know
the woman, and saw the alleged bite
say that it was probably only a game
of Goldie's to get a good stiff drink of
the liquid that caused her to be sem
fenced.
If this was the woman's scheme she
worked IL to perfection and several
drinks were given her with the hope
of counteracting the effect of the poi
son. Those who saw the wound on the
woman's hand say that it was scarcely
prick, and that there was no swelling
at ALL The woman claims to have
been bitten while gathering wood, but
it is not unlikely that she ran a splin-
ter in the palm of the haid. Goldie has
a reputation for getting drinks with
out money on the East Side, and the
police, when they learned of the
snake story, Immediately put it down
as new trick of Goddess.

NO PENALTY NOW.
None TO Compel street Car Conduc-
tors to Separate Races.

The announcement in the Morning
News yesterday that Representative
Fielder of Bibb county. proposes at the
approaching session of the Legislature
to push his bill touching the question
of the separation of the races, attract
ed considerable local attention. 1t is
the purpose of the bill to be offered by
Bib countys representative to force
street railway companies in the state
to furnish separate compartments. or
cars, for the races.
Senator ]. Ferris Cam was asked
his opinion of the bill yesterday, but
stated that he is not in a position to
say what he will do when the mea-
sure comes up before the body of which
he is a member. He has given the
matter no thought as yet and was not
in position to place himself unequivo-
cally on record. Senator Cam stated
that without having looked into the
matter carefully he should think that
the separation of the races could be
brought about in a much easier way.
The present law appears to be inef-
fective so far as street railways are
concerned. 1t compels railroad com
panies to furnish separate cars or COM
partments for the races and makes II
misdemeanor for violation of the
act. In the matter of street cars and
dummy lines the act empowers con-
ductors with the authority to separate
the races as far as practicable, but
names no penalty when this is not done
Under the law on the statute books
at this time a passenger who refused
to sit where a conductor has placed
him would be subject to fine as for a
misdemeanor.
In this manner the law makes the
conductors of street cars a police Off
Ger with power to arrest in such cases
but there is no section which forces
him, or the company. to keep the races
apart, unless they have a mind to. II
is the opinion of Senator Cam at this
time that what is needed is a law fix
ing penalty when conductors and
street railway companies fail to keer
the races separated.
Since the defeat of the city ordi-
nance by Council those who have agi-
tated the separation plan have not
been silent, and it is not at all improb-
able that the representatives from
Chatham county will be asked to as
sist Representative Fielder in carrying
his bill to victory. The passage of the
measure would probably mean the use
of trailers in Savannah, and no doubt
the colored population will put up an
other howl
