THE NEW CHIVALRY.
Last Lecture of Savannah Course to
Be Delivered Tuesday.

The last number of the Savannah
Lecture Course of entertainments will
be given in Guards Hall Tuesday,
when Mr.. F. H. Richardson will de-
liver his address 1.-The New Chivalry''
OF the lecture a critic says:
THE happy faculty of expressing
sentiments which are with many inex-
pressible-of combining pathos and
mirth, romance, poetry and prose-is
possessed in generous part by Mr..
Richardson. One bright turn follows
another in endless variety. his hearers
expectantly awaiting the variation
which they know will follow.
"Mr. Richardson's theme was a par
ticularly appropriate one in the pres
ent day of sombre sordidness. The
South needs a new chivalry to i'm
plant itself on the ashes of that one
which ended with COS. The young
manhood and womanhood of to-day
should look to it that they do not lose
these graces of heart and manner
which did much to make the Southern
gentleman and lady of ante-bellum
days"
Seats for the lecture will be on sale
at the Red Cross and the E. and w.
Laundries tomorrow and Tuesday.

OVER THE CHILDREN'S SHARE.
DIVISION OF MEYER ESTATE BE-
GINS TO CAUSE TROUBLE.

Sister of Mother and Brother OF
Father Fight for Guardianship of
I Orphan Heirs Persons and Estates.
Mrs. Mary HeImIxen and AdoIph
Il. Meyer Both Applicants-Diner-
ences as to Property vaIues-Ca-
veat VIII BE Filed.
Numerous applications touching the
estate of the late George Meyer were
filed yesterday morning in the Court
OF Ordinary. From all the petitions
filed and the disagreement among the
members of the family as to the proper
disposition of the estate that this null
tiplicity Of applications evinces, there
is reasonable certainty that family
litigation, of relentless character, will
be the final result.
Mrs. Catherine Meyer, the widow of
the intestate. filed early in the morn
ing her petition for temporary admin
istration, which was granted In this
petition the value of the estate, in
real and personal property. is esti-
mated at $4,000. At the same time
Mrs. Meyer also filed her application
ton.
Then the other applications began
to pour in. Mr.. Meyer was twice mar
ried and there are now living two
children, Walter Rudolph and George
Herman Meyer, aged IL and years,
who are the issues of the first mar
riage. 1t is over the guardianship of
these minors that the fight is now on
Mrs. Mary Helmken, a sister of the
first Mrs. Meyer and an aunt of the
children was first on the scene. In
her application for letters of guardian
ship she says the two children of the
first marriage are entitled to receive
from the estate of George Meyer the
sum of $1,000.
Mrs. Helmken was closely followed.
however, by Adolph E. Meyer, a
brother of the intestate and an uncle
of the children. Mr.. Meyer not only
made application for letters of guar
dianship on the persons and property
of the children, but for temporary
letters also and these latter, in ac-
cordance with the prevailing custom
in such cases, were granted him. In
his petition the value of the property
the two children are entitled to receive
from their fathers estate is fixed at
81 900.
Mr.. Meyer intends to file a caveat
to the grant of the application of Mrs.
Helmken for letters of guardianship.
The case is returnable to the first day
of the May term of the Court of Or
binary, and that day is likely to wit
ness some interesting developments

DUNCAN DENIES GUILT.
Wilmington Island Negro Arrested
for Attempted Assault.

For an alleged attempt to commit
criminal assault upon an Swear
girl of Wilmington Island, Stepney
Duncan, coiored, is held a prisoner at
the police station house. He was ar
rested yesterday on Broughton and
Habersham streets by superintendent
of Police Reilly.
The negro, Joe Hicks, who left the
island with Duncan, was arrested at
the same time, but furnished bail for
his appearance in Police Court. He
claims that he knew nothing of the al
legged crime until he read the story in
the Morning News yesterday. Duncan
had not told him of the trouble. Dun
can denies the. charge as entered
against him on the police blotter
The negro made a statement to a
representative of the Morning News,
shortly after his arrest, and appar-
emily did not attempt to hide any
thing. Under his story he was guilty
of no offense, and only left the island
because he feared that he would be
handled violently by the child's father
before the matter had been thoroughly
investigated. The negro says that the
girls mother would not listen to rea-
son, and warned him that he had bet
ter leave the island. This he did, he
said, because he feared the angry
father would not listen to his story
Duncan was preparing to get on a car
for Thunderbolt when placed under
arrest by Supt. Reilly.
