first Congress. So was Mckinley. Thorn
as 3. Reed was elected. Mckinley be-
came chairman Of the committee on
ways and means, and Cannon became
chairman of the committee on appropri-
tons. In every Republican Congress
since then Cannon has been chairman Of
his old committee, and as such he has
had more power and responsibility re-
garding appropriations for government
expenses and public work than any other
member of either house.
Mr.. Cannon was born in a Quaker set
Element in North Carolina. When he
was years old his father, DR.. Horace
f. Cannon, emigrated to the banks OF
the Wabash at Bloomingdale, Parke
County, Ind. He was Il years old when
his father died, and ut that age he start
ed out for himself, his first work being
as a clerk in a country store. He was
so employed until he had attained his
majority, when he began the study OF
law, and was admitted TO tne .Dar ae
Terre Haute in 1858.
The next year Mr.. Cannon moved to
Tuscola, ILL.,, and in 1861 he was elected
district attorney. He held that office
for seven years, or until 1868, ana III
1872 he was elected to Congress from
that district. 1t was at that tin1e that
Joe Cannon began to figure III national
affairs.
In the next House 104 votes will be
necessary to elect the Speaker in the
Republican caucus, and. according to
Washington correspondent, Mr.. Cannon
now has lightweight pledged and thirty
two more practically corralled. Inc

BEREAN MISSION OPENED.
Duffy Street Baptist Church Estab-

Duffy street Baptist Church Estab-
fishes a Branch Sunday school.
The Berean Mission, which will be
conducted under the auspices of the
Duffy Street Baptist Church, was
opened at No. 431 Montgomery street
yesterday morning at 8 o'clock. The
programme of exercises for the occa-
sion consisted of a number of addresses,
of which the principal one was made
by Rev. r. Van Deventer, pastor Of
the Duffy Street Church, who spoke on
the need of Bible study and on the ne
cessity of the kind of work that it IS
hoped to accomplish by means of the
mission.
Another speaker was Mr.. A. E.
Meyer, who will be in charge of the
mission. Mr., B. L. Bugg also spoke
and so did Rev. DIS. Edenfeld pastor
of the Southside Baptist Church, and
Mr.. Fl, A. Fountain. The singing was
congregational.
The mission has been opened with a
view of gathering into a Sunday-school
the very many children in the imme-
date neighborhood. A service, for the
time being, will be held each Sunday
at $3.50 o'clock. A week service also
will be arranged for, but the time for
this has not yet been decided. Those
interested in the mission are sanguine
of its success, and there is every reason
to believe that their hopes are well
founded

FOR A GEORGIA DAY.
Movement by the Atlanta ID. A. RS
to Have One Observed.

The Joseph Habersham Chapter Of
the Daughters of the American Rev.
olution at Atlanta last February sug-
gested that the founding of the colony
of Georgia be celebrated annually.
Since then Georgia flags have been pre-
sented to every chapter in the state
with the request that they observe the
day, appeals have been made to every
school. interviews held with public
men. and every effort made to create
a sentiment in favor of a general dis
cussion annually of Georgia and Geor-
CLANS.
The Atlanta Chapter derives It's name
from a Savannahian, who was the first
postmaster general of the United
States. Savannah's interest in any
matter of patriotic character has al
ways been profound, and there can be
no doubt it's people would enter readily
into any plan for the annual observ-
ance of Georgia day. The city mag
nificently celebrated the sesaui-centen-
NAL of the settlement of Georgia IN
February, 1888.
Letters from men of prominence
throughout the state have been receiv-
ed by the Joseph Habersham Chapter,
all expressing their approval of the
suggestion Tor a Georgia day.
The following are the expressions
from some of those written by the
chapter:
Gov. Gambler wrote THE Joseph
Habersham Chapter has my best
wishes for their efforts to have Georgia
day celebrated. l hope to see it legal
holiday"
Chancellor Walter 3. Hill of the Uni
versity of Georgia wrote: Il fully SYM
pathize with the purpose of your COM
mittee. l shall be glad to call the at
tention of the students to your sugges
ton, and especially to the idea of deco
rating their society halls"
Mr.. Otis Ashmore, superintendent of
schools at Savannah, wrote
I'VE of Savannah, Of course, are
much interested in Georgia history, and
We endeavor to teach our children the
value of the sentiments involved in the
lives of our great men. We already
have many Georgia flags in our schools
but 1 shall be glad to call attention to
them. We always take note of 'Geor-
gia Day but we do not give it as a
holiday. 1t is better to celebrate the
day in school rather than out of school.
where children learn nothing about the
real meaning of the holiday"
1t would seem not improbable that
Feb. IL may be designated a day for
general observance of the founding of
the colony.

any other college fraternity, having
perhaps IS of its members living in the
city. The greater number of these are
alumni of the University of Georgia.

ways contained many Savannah men,

the fraternity was formerly a strong
and flourishing organization, but it has
been permitted to lose it's compactness
during the past few years. 1t is pro-
posed to make it a stronger body than
ever before. Among the plans advanced
by the promoters of the movement and
shared by their fellow members of the
association is dinner, that will be
given probably during the present

COLD WAVE AND STORM.
High Winds and Decided Drop in
Mercury SaNannah's Portion.

Mercury SaNannah's Portion.
Savannah experienced both a cold
wave and a high wind yesterday The
storm was of the kind that is denoted
in the technical use of that word by
the weather bureau officials and con-
sisted merely of very high winds-the
maximum was SO miles an hour-but
the cold wave was of the kind that
would be understood by the veriest
layman for the mercury dropped from
So degrees, the maximum, at 10 o'clock
a. m. to A, at 8 p. m. at which time
it was still falling. With the high wind
that prevailed during the greater part
of the day the cold seemed to be even
more intense than it is shown by the
thermometer to have been.
The cold wave was announced first.
The weather bureau was notified yes
terday at 1914 o'clock a. M that there
would be a cold wave, that the temper
allure would fall to a minimum of 10
degrees and possibly lower in the
northern part of the state.
A few minutes later the bureau was
notified to display signals denoting the
approach OF northwest storm which
might be expected to include in it's
progress Punta Gorda, Key West,
Miami, Jupiter, Jacksonville, Punta
Rassa, Savannah. Charleston, Will
mington, Morehead, Washington, Nor
folk section, Norfolk, Newport News,
Fort Monroe and Baltimore. The notice
further stated that the wind would
shift to a strong northwest with much
colder and clearing weather at night
The mean temperature yesterday
was 90 degrees, 2 above the norma
The rainfall was 20 of an inch, which
still leaves deficiency for the year of
2.96 inches.
The state forecast for to-day, issued
from Washington last night, is, fair
weather with colder in the southeast
portion. Tomorrow, increasing cloudi-
ness; warmer in northwest portion; di-
minIshing northwesterly Winds

PLY TO GATHERS STATEMENT.

The Charges Made and Answered
Many Times Before ms to the Re-
sponsibiIfty for Bringing the
Savannah HarbOr Frauds to the
Governments AttentiOn-Capt. Gil
Iette Had Nothing to Say About
Carriers Charge, Except to Admit
Its Truth.
Il really don't feel myself in a posi-
ton to deny the charge" was Capt.
Cassius f. Gillette's comment upon
the statement made in a legal paper
by former Capt. Oberlin M. Carter,
in which he laid the responsibility for
all of his many troubles at the feet
of his successor in command of gov
eminent engineering operations in this
district.
An Associated Press dispatch from
Chicago, published in the Morning
News yesterday, announced that for
mer Capt. Carter, his brother, 1 STAN
ton Carter, and his uncle, Lorenzo D.
Carter. had filed their answers to the
civil suits instituted by the government
to compel the restitution of the large
sums of money Carter is said to have
embezzled from the government
Among the charges made by the erst-
while captain of engineers is one to the
effect that Capt. Gillette is the cause
of all his troubles, and it was as to
this charge that Capt. Gillette was
asked to express an opinion.
Il expect it is altogether true" said
Capt. Gillette. that 1 am somewhat
responsible for the position in which
Carter finds himself"
Further than, laughingly, to say this,
Cant. Gillette would not discuss the
proceedings in Chicago, or the state
ments made in the answers of the de-
PENDANTS.
There is nothing new in the answers
of the defendants" he said, land the
charges they make have been made
and answered many times before"

Lizzie Smith, a colored resident of
Lovers Lane, yesterday turned upon

plant of Martha Campbell, who occu-
pies an adjoining house, and who uses
the same pump. The prosecutrix claims

man has thrown dirty water and potash

sion she saw the act committed. The
Campbell woman charges that the pris-
oner's mind is sound, and that her acts
were prompted by a desire for revenge.

MINISTER'S WILL MEET.
Association Expects TO Choose an
Evangelist To-day.

Evangelist To-day.
A meeting of the Minister'S Associa-
ton will be held at noon to-day at the
study of the pastor at Wesley Monu
mental Church. 1t is expected that
an evangelist to conduct services in
Savannah during April or May, under
the auspices of the association, will be
decided upon and President Ed f.
Cook is particularly anxious that there
be a full attendance of members.
Each of the members of the associa-
ton is expected to offer a suggestion
as to the evangelist who should be In
Vited. Several names have been
mentioned, but it is not known whom
the association will agree upon. 1t is
possible that Rev. Sam Jones will be
chosen, but, in that event, it will be
distinctly understood that his visit
will be to conduct evangelist services,
and not a series of political campaign
meetings. If Rev Bascom Anthony
and Rev. J. A. Smith adhere to their
expressed purpose of bringing Rev.
Mr.. Jones to Savannah, his visit to
this city for political purposes will be
made next fall.
Rev. Mr.. Dixon of Boston has
been considered as the evange-
list for the prospective services. but a
letter to him brought the reply that
he could not undertake the work. Mr..
Crittenden. a celebrated religious work.
er, who has retired from business in
New York. is spoken of as a most
eloquent speaker and he may be
agreed upon by the association.
Mr.. Jones seems to have a dread of
cold weather. This is shown by the
following, which appeared recently in
in Richmond Wa.) paper:
Rev. Sam p. Jones, the evangelist,
who was to have lectured at the Acad-
envy of Music last night, did not do so.
L am going back to Georgia. he said
in the Southern Railway Office on
Main street about noon. won't stand
for all this snow l am longing for Car
tersville, and bright skies, and a smil-
ing world This snowl And sleet, And
drizzle! Ugh! Don't talk to me about
lecturing.'
And when the Southern train pulled
out for the South at 2:30 in one of the
Pullman's as comfortable as he could
make himself, was the reverend lee
turer, glad to bid winter goodbye and
eager for sunny Georgia.
