EGYPT AND HOLY LAND.
Subject of Lecture by Rev. +. II.
Duncan at Christian Church.

Subject of Lecture by Rev. r. II.
Duncan at Christian Church.
An interesting lecture on Egypt was
delivered by Rev. P. H. Duncan at
the Christian Church last night 1t
was the first of series of which one
will be delivered each Sunday night
for the next few Sundays. Despite
the bad weather the lecture was heard
and enjoyed by a fair audience.
Mr.. Duncan based his lecture on i'm
pressions and facts that he gathered
While on a tour of Egypt, Palestine,
and other parts of Asia Minor, which
he took about two years ago. 1t was
not a pretentious lecture, but a simple
recital of the places visited, their pc
culiarities and those of their people,
to occidental eyes, and the recital of
many incidents of the trip, some of
which were of a humorous turn de-
cidedly.
OF more than usual interest was the
speakers description of his ascent OF
VeSuvius while that volcano was in
mild state of eruption. Because of what
he then saw, Mr.. Duncan said, he could
the more readily grasp the details of
the recent volcanic outbursts in Marti
nique.
In his travels abroad Mr.. Duncan COL
lected a number of curios and souve-
Mrs and many of these he used to IL
lustrate his lecture, and afterward
showed to those that cared to inspect
them. Among these souvenirs was
cane cut from the bed of the River
Jordan and at a point supposed to be
near the place at which Christ was
baptized; another was a piece of the
lava rock from Vesuvius, which was
thrown out and fell within a few feet
of Mr.. Duacan where he was in the vi
entity of the crater. Still another was
a face veil such as is worn by the
women of Oriental countries.
Mr. Duncan will continue the series
Sunday night beginning then from
where he left off last night. The lee
ture was preceded and followed by a
religious service. The offertory was
sung by Miss Bertha Arden.

STORES ON GlLMER LOT.
Merchants Were Anxious to Have
the Owners Build.

Merchants Were Anxious to Have
the Owners Build.
The purchase of the Gilmer proper
ty, at the northwest corner of Bull
and State streets, is still under con-
sideration by the National Bank of
Savannah. 1t is not known yet, how
ever, whether the deal with Mr.. J.
Florance Minis will be contaminated.
1t is understood thaE,one point upon
which an agreement cannot be reached
is that of the price for the portion of
the property that the bank desires. 1t
is said that the bank wants but sixty
feet on State street and ninety on Bull
Ninety feet is the depth of the lot on
Bull street. but on State street it has
a frontage of $50 feet. Mr.. Minis would
prefer to sell the entire tract, rather
than have the more desirable portion
go and the rest left on his hands.
The corner is a most desirable one,
and stores would rent readily if erect
ed Some time ago an agreement was
signed by five merchants, each of
whom was willing to pay $1,000 year
for term of ten years as rental for
stores fronting on Bull street, that
Mr.. Minis might erect. The location
appealed to them. and they were anx-
ious to have Mr.. Minis build

Friends Encouraged by Comments
ON Candidacy for Speakership.
The suggestion made by some of the
friends of Mr.. Pleasant A. Stovall that
he become a candidate for the speaker
ship of the General Assembly has met
with favor and he will be asked to-
day to permit the use of his name in
this connection.
Mr.. Stovall was not in the city yes
terday, and just how he feels on the
subject is not known. His friends will
ask him to make some statement, and
in the event that he agrees to enter
the race they will begin to do some
thing in his behalf
Mr.. Stovall would have a strong
backing il he goes in for the speaker
ship. The question of putting the
Chatham county representative for

Esq, of Bib, has been discussed by
many of the local politicians and with
out regard to faction it was agreed

IN INTEREST OF MISSIONS.
Institute Conducted at Grace Church
Closed Last Night

Closed Last Night.
The missionary institute which began
in Grace Methodist Church Wednesday
night was closed last night by Rev. C.
A. Jackson, who preached on 1.-The
Earth and They That Dwell Therein,
the Lords" The opening sermon of
the institute Wednesday night was
preached by Rev. Bascom Anthony,
that of the following night by Rev
William P. McCorkIe, Friday nights
by Rev. DR.. j. D. Jordan and that of
yesterday morning, as we'll as that of
last night, by Rev. Mr. Jackson.
The object of such institutes is to
present clearly to the people the mis-
sionary work of the church, the need
for it, and the duty of each member
to assist in the work. The institute
just closed was most successful, both
as to the attendance at each of the ser
vices and as to the amounts collected
to further the missionary work in for
eign lands.

of the Season, Thus Far.
The Tybee Railroads business yes
terday was the best of the season.
There were over 1900 passengers.
Many of these. probably about 500,

greater force than they had since the
season closed last year. For some
weeks increasing crowds will be looked
for Sundays. The Central is advertis-

bring results in the way of large
crowds.
This bids fair to be a very success

filing up, and many reservations of
rooms have been made. There is a
great demand for board in cottages,
too, this being so great that it cannot
be met. A number of applicants have
been unable to find places at which

In her cell at the station house house
she told a representative of the Morn
ing News that the Jenkins woman had
a knife and that she had acted as she
had in self-defense. The story about
the knife is not verified by the accounts
of the difficulty given by Florrie

negro women who live in the house
and were eye-witnesses of the diff
Guilty. They do however, substantiate
the Jones woman statement in every
other particular.
The Washington and Glover women
was arrested soon after the homicide.
and Lillian Frazier a little later in the
day. The Frazier woman said she had
no idea of the reason for her arrest.
as she had left the scene before the
commission of the crime and before
anything more than a few relatively
harmless pleasantries had been ex-
changed. Her departure offered a
striking illustration of the impartial
ity Of Delilly, for while two OF the riv-

dered away with the third and knew
nothing about the fght's tragic result
until long after it's commission.
