The Gala Day Of the Sir knights

The Sir knights of Trinity Com
mandery and the city of Augusta in
general are to be congratulated upon
the entire success which attended the
entertainment of the distinguished
visitors from Montreal and the visit
ing brothers from Bath. The day it
self was made to order, and after the
threatening clouds of the preceding
days the clear skies and the sunshine
were most welcome. In all respects
were the hosts and the city similarly
fortunate. and we are confident that
all the visitors departed with the most
complimentary opinion of Augusta
mittees left nothing undone; every de-
tail was well attended to, and every
feature of the parade. the reception at
the Capitol. the trip to Togus, the
banquet, and the other exercises was
most successful and enjoyable.
The long parade was one of the
handsomest ever seen in this city, and
seldom on a similar occasion are better
speeches heard than those after the
splendid banquet at City hall, last
evening The manner in which the
business men of the city and the citi-
Zens generally decorated their blocks
and residences is to be warmly COM
mended. 1t was a striking evidence of
Augustus hospitality and of the pub
lie spirit and harmony with which our
citizens enter upon any undertaking
involving the good name of the city
and the common welfare. 1t was a
particularly happy incident that the
End regiment was able to participate
in the parade. The whole affair has
been a credit to our greatest fraternal
body and to the city generally. Such
occasions so well carried out are
direct benefit to a community and the
pleasur, of the day is not all the profit.
We are confident our visitors also will
long remember the day as a plea SAINT
spot in their memory. and will long
carry the happiest reCollections of their
visit to Augusta when fraternal ties
were strengthened and national bound
AIRY lines forgotten.

A Record to be Proud Of.

The latest number of the Bankers
Monthly calls attention to the exceed
insly creditable record of the Maine
savings banks. In "a way, There is
nothing new in the subject for our
bank examiners in their annual report
have frequently touched upon this
remarkable record with just pride.
There l.; no danger, however, that it
will be held up to public attention too
often. for we are sometimes inclined TO
minimize the Importance of these
splendid institutions and to be forget
full of the great part they play in the
welfare of our State. We are not now
speaking of their present condition
with the greatly increased deposits
during the prosperous times Of the
past few years. but of the sound
judgment, the integrity and the con-
servatism ever shown in their manage
ment in the past which have given
them a reputation for stability not

the last SO years the savings banks OF
Maine made investments aggregatine

by bad investments of the savings
banks of the Pine Tree State amounted
to only about .O023 per cent of the sun
invested. From 1881 to 1900 thes,
banks have paid depositors more thai

Rev. DIR. T. III. Law Tells Why 1t
Should BE Sent to All Peoples.

Rev. DIR. T. H, Law of Spartanburg
spent yesterday in Savannah and con-
Quoted two services, speaking in the
Westminster Presbyterian Church in
the morning, and at Wesley Monument
tai Church at night His sermon at
night was on the duty of the Christian
to send the Bible to all the world. His
text was Isaiah. Oh. LV. II: 80 shall
my word be that goeth forth out of
my mouth: 1t shall not return unto
me void, but it shall accomplish that
which l please, and it shall prosper in
the thing whereto / sent it.
The speaker gave six reasons why
the Bible should be distributed among
all peoples: because it is now publish
ed in over four hundred languages
and dialects; because it is the most
popular book in the world; because it
is the authenticated word of God; be-
cause it is cheap; because the whole
world is open to its reception and be-
cause it can be sent to all parts of the
world with the greatest facility. To
each of these statements he gave COR
roborative testimony gathered from
statistics secured from various sources.
AS proving his statement that the
Bible is the most popular book in the
world the speaker stated that the an
nual sales are between 100000 900 and
II, 900, 900; that so great is the demand
for it in this country alone that many
of the large department stores of the
great cities have a special Bible de-
partment, at certain seasons. and thai
the sales are sufficient to take up the
entire time of two to three clerks.

city Council VIII Consider the Bud
get for Next Year.


get for Next Year.
A special meeting OF the Committee
of the Whole of the City Council is to
be held tonight for the consideration
of the budget of expenses for next
year. 1t is also probable that the tax
ordinance, fixing the specific licenses
for the year, will be considered. One
special meeting has already been de-
voted to the tax ordinance, and 1t has
been practically settled upon. 1t is
expected that it will be put upon its
second reading at the regular meeting
of Council on Christmas night and
passed.
The budget will probably occupy at
least one other special meeting of the
board than that of tonight. There is
a great deal of work incident to a
careful and exhaustive consideration
of the expenditure of the city's money
during a year. The estimates of all the
departments are in, and it remains for
Council to adjust the appropriations
for each to some equitable ratio to
the amount of money that will come
into the city's Golfers next year.

AT THE THEATER.

Probably no popular priced attrac-
ton that has ever visited Savannah can
lay claim to such popularity as
can the Baldwin Melville Company"
which will be the attraction all of this
week with the exception of tomorrow
night. Walter S. Baldwin, who di-
reefs the tour of this company, it is
claimed, has far surpassed his pre-
vious efforts in securing a caste of
highly capable players, who have all
been identified with the leading stock
companies of the larger cities.
With years of experience Manager
Baldwin has used his best judgment
in the selection of the plays to be pre-
scented, and having a decided advan-
tage over other organizations in this
direction, he is able to present many
plays that have heretofore been seen
only at standard prices. Each play
will be deliberately staged and both
scenic and costume effect will be corr
rect, and each production complete
one in every way possible.
For the opening play The Devils
Web" has been selected. This is one
of the best plays in the repertoire. A
number of thrilling climaxes and sem
sational scenes are some of the fea-
lures. Spec1altleS Will be 1nterSDerSed
throughout the piece by members of
the company who are carried for this
purpose only, and who do not take
part in any other part of the enter
tainment. Ladies who are accompa-
MED by a person with paid 80 cents
ticket tonight, which must be pur-
chased before 6 O'clock will be admit
ted free. Matinees will be given every
afternoon.
Mr.. Jerome Sykes will present
Foxy CUTLER tomorrow night. The
company is playing to large audiences
throughout its Southern tour, and is
receiving f1attering notices. The cast
includes Julius Steger, Harry Mac
donough. Adolph link, Lewis Casa
want, Eleanor Kent, Grace Cameron
Lillian Seville. Marion Bent, Marie
Christie and others.

TO RATlFY THE DEAL.
Edison Compnny's Stockholders to
Meet This Afternoon.

The meeting of the stockholders of
the Edison Electric Illuminating Com
pany at which, it is expected, the deal
looking to the consolidation of the
electric traction and light and power
interests of the city will be ratified,
will be held at the offices of the COM
pany, in the Citizens Bank building,
at o'clock this afternoon.
For the several reasons outlined In
the Morning News yesterday, there
seems to be no doubt that the stock
holders of the Edison Company will
lend their approval to the contract
that has been already made. 1t may
be taken for granted that the active
work of organization of the Savannah
Electric Company, by which the al
lied electric interests are to be con-
trolled, will be begun in the course
of the next few days.
