EDUCATORS GONE HOME.

Views of Some of Them on Instruc-
ton in Physiology and Hygiene.
The members of the Schoolmasters'
Club, with a single exception, left for
their homes yesterday morning; some
had already gone on the preceding
night. The exception was DIR. 2. D.
Pollock president of Mercer University,
who remained in the city during the
day and in company with Superintend-
ent Ashmore inspected some of the
schools. Mr.. L. ID. Robson, who had
been with the party since its arrival,
remained also in the city
The members of the club who left
the city yesterday went to Charleston,
where they expect to see something of
the exposition before returning to their
homes.
During the stay in the city some of
the members of the club had some
thing to say of the bill passed by the
last General Assembly, requiring phys
iology and hygiene, with particular ref
erence to the injurious effects of al
cohol and narcotics on the human sys-
tenn. to be taught in all the public
schools of the state. School Commits
sioner Glenn voiced what was probably
the prevailing sentiment when he said
it was impractical to give instruction
in these studies in any save the sixth
and seventh grades of the grammar
schools and the high schools, except
verbally and in the most simple and
elementary form.
Mr.. Glenn said he did not believe
that the passage of the bill would
have any effect on the public schools
of Savannah, where these studies al
ready form a part of the High School
curriculum. During the course the
effects of alcohol and narcotics are
given proper proportionate share of
the instruction.
"The bill" said Mr.. Glenn, twas
hardly needed. In those schools where
such instruction can be profitably pur-
sued. it is already given; in schools
where the children are young and lit
tie advanced, the principles of physi-
ology and hygiene, so far as they re-
fer to liquor and narcotics or in any
other aspect are too difficult for the
children to grasp. However, the in
furious effects of liquor and narcotics
are, / think, universally recognized by
ali modern educators, and the bill can
do no harm: it may do some good.

A TOUR OF ENGLAND.
Prof. Parks Entertaining Lecture
mt the Lawton Memorial.

Mt the LRWton Memorial.
The first of Prof NJ. ". Parks illus
trated lectures on European travel was
delivered at the Lawton Memorial last
night, under the auspices of the Sa-
vannah Camera Club. The audience,
which was cultured one, nearly filled
the hall. The lecture was descriptive
of tour of England. Ii dealt with
what was likely to be of the most in
terest to Americans visiting the
British Isles. Prof. Parks spent a
part of last summer in England, and
the lecture was descriptive of what he
saw and his impressions of the historic
spots he visited. 1t was illustrated
with over 100 views, thrown upon the
Clubs stereopticon. The illustrations
and the manner in which they were
shown were a feature of the lecture.
Prof. Parks introduced his audience
to England through a visit to STRAIT
ford-on- the Avon, and the scenes of
Shakespeare early life, then to oxford
with it's historic colleges; then to Lon
don, it's historic tower, the houses of
Parliament and the homes of
royalty, st. Pauls Cathedral,
and Westminster Abbey, the
tombs of Englands rulers and its men
of history the streets and parks and
the pulsing life of the great city as it
is to-day upon a background of GOO
years of history, from which the lee
turer chose here and there scenes and
events that stand out as land
marks. His descriptions of the
scenes of Shakespeare's life, of the
ruined castles, and abbeys of London's
famous palaces. the tower, the brill
liant court of Elizabeth, the execution
scenes of Lady Jane Grey, of Anne
Boleyn, and the unfortunate Mary
Queen of Scots were heightened by
the rare and brilliant pictures that
stood upon the canvass and brought
the audience face to face with the
scenes they represent.
In London Prof. Parks dwelt at some
length upon the great Cathedral of
st. Pauls and its famous architect,
Sir Christopher Wren. Following the
pictures of Trafalgar Square and it's
monument to Nelson, were others of
the great hero and a striking scene of
his death.
During the lecture were shown ex-
teIlOI anu interior views OF twenty
or more of England's great cathedrals.
In concluding, Prof. Parks gave an
interesting description of the corona
tion ceremonies that will take place
next June when King Edward VII
ascends the throne, pictures of the
King and of the coronation chair in
which for six centuries England's mon
archS have been crowned. The last
pictures was of the late beloved Queen,
with touching eulogy upon her vir-
tues and a description of the changes
which took place in the governments
of the world during her long and happy
rule.
The lecture was one of literary
merit and was delivered in a happy
style. Prof. Parks and the Camera
Club are to be congratulated on it's
success. The second lecture of the
course, which will be delivered next
month, will be on Paris, Switzerland
and Northern Italy

ASK FOR JURY TRIALS.
City Court Defendants Introduce
Unusual Feature Ina Hearings.

Unusual Feature in Hearings.
The weekly session of the City Court
for the trial of misdemeanors. that will
be held this morning, will be somewhat
enlivened by the attendance of a jury
to which some of the defendants to be
tried have insisted upon submitting
their claims. Chief among these is
Laura Bellinger, charged with keeping
a disorderly house.
The woman has already had trial
before Judge Norwood, when she was
found guilty by the court and sen
fenced, in lieu of fine of $1,000 and
the costs of the prosecution, to serve
twelve months on the chain-gang of
the county. Her counsel filed a motion
for a new trial, principally on the
q ound that the evidence submitted to
the court had not established the
venue, had not shown that So. that the
alleged offense had been committee in
this county. on this ground the new
trial was awarded by Judge Norwood,
and 1t is this second trial that will be
had to-day.
There win be one or two other de-
PENDANTS who will desire to have the
question of their guilt or innocence
passed upon by a jury, but most of the
bunch will probably signify a willing
ness to have Judge Norwood determine
the questions OF fact as well as Of
law. It Is said that in the Bellinger
case a very large number OF witnesses
have been summoned.

GREEK SHOT AT NEGRO.
fried 10 Kill Man who Hurled
Brick at Him.

With shot gun and revolver two
Greek fruit dealers at Randolph and
Jackson streets attempted the life of a
negro yesterday. The man with the
gun could not fire. but G.. Eleopoalo,
who had the revolver, fired one shot at
Morris Floyd and put the negro to
flight.
The trouble occurred at the Greeks
store and created a great deal of ex-
citement. A telephone message was
sent to police headquarters and Patrol
men, Christie and Ungar were hurried
out in The patrol wagon. Eleopoalo
was placed under arrest by officer
Christie and a messenger was sent for
Floyd, who had lost no time in getting
away. When the negro entered Il
charge of assault with intent to MUIR
der against the Greek, he in turn had
Floyd arrested for throwing a rock in
his place of business, and both were
confined al the station house
1t appears that Floyd's boy made n
purchase of the Greek and later tried
TO return the article and get his money
The Greek refused to listen to the sug-
gestion and Floyd himself put in an
appearance. The Greek and the negro

that after the passage of very warm
words. the Greek struck Floyd with
a cocoanut. The negro is alleged to
have run into the street and from
there. to have hurled a large rock
through a window and at the head Of
Eleooolo. Then it was that the gun
and pistol were brought out and the
revolver fired. The prisoners win be
given a preliminary examination by
Recorder Myrick in Police Court this
morning.

CHANGE IN THE ANVIL
RUMORED THAT 1T MAY BE Alb
sORBED BY AMERICAN GUILD.
ANvIL's OFFICERS RETIcENT.
PRESIDENT LESTER NOW IN RICH
MoND, HOME OF AMERICAN GUILD.

Also DIR. VI. v. Corbin, Medical Df-
rector of the AnNiI-"If Change Is.

fcers Have Too Many other Inter-
ests"-GeneraI Counsel Says Poll
cy-hOlderS VIII BE Protected in
Amy Cause.-The Anvil a Fraternal
Insurance Company Operated on
Assessment Basts-Was IncOrpor-
ated Under Georgia Laws in 1898.
No little interest was awakened in
insurance circles yesterday by the
rumor that The Anvil, local frater-
nal insurance concern operated on an
assessment basis, was about to change
hands, or more properly speaking, was
to be absorbed by the American Guild
of Richmond.
Such of the officers of The Anvil as
could be seen would not admit that the
rumored deal had been made, and, in
fact, they were reticent in discussing
the rumor at all, but it is known that
some contemplated change of this sor:
is being considered, and that Mr.. D.
B. Lester, president of The Anvil, and
DR.. NJ. X. Corbin, medical director,
are now in Richmond.
The other officers of the anvil are:
DR.. J. Lawton HERS, vice president
Mr.. T. H. Mcmillan, treasurer and Mr..
r. M. Lester, general counsel. DR..
HERS was asked about the rumor last
night. He did ot.know, he said, that
the absorption would take place, but
stated that if it took place it would
be because the present officers of The
Anvil are too busy with their other
affairs to give to the company the time
that it demands.
Mr.. r. NJ. Lester, who also was seen,
said that a confirmation or denial of
the rumor could be made only by the
president, but he stated, should such
deal be made with the American Guild
as was rumored the policy holders
would lose nothing.
From the trend of his talk he seemed
to think it not improbable that the
American Guild should want to secure
the business of the Anvil, as the former
company for some time has been work
ing to secure the interests of smaller
companies of this sort and has already
come into control OF the Protected
Knights and the knights of Damon.
Discussing the affairs of The anvil
Mr.. Lester declined to give out the
amount of it's policies now in force,
but said that for a young company it
had been remarkably successful. It's
best business, he said, had been done
in Tennessee and Mississippi, but it has
also quite a number of policy holders
in this state.
Mr.. Lester also was asked whether
Mr.. d. B. Lester had been empowered
by the other officers to make a deal
of any kind, and whether the PROPOSE
ton for the rumored deal had been
made to the American Guild or had
been received from it, but both these
questions he declined to answer. The
Anvil was Incorporated under the state
laws of Georgia and has been in exist
ence since 1898.

BY The GRAND JURY.
Case of Homicide Against W. n.
Dortic VIII BE Considered.


The grand jury of the Superior Court
will meet at the Court House at 4
O'Clock this afternoon for the pur-
pose of considering indictments
against a number of defendants whose
names, with the evidence against them,
will be presented by the solicitor gen
eral Among these is w. II. Dortic,
who shot and killed John A. Deegan.
A number of witnesses have been
summoned to appear before the grand
jury in this case, most of whom have
already given their testimony before
the coroner at his inquest Some,
however, are said to be new. The
dying declaration of Deegan. in which
he said he was shot and fatally
wounded by Dortic without cause or
prOvocation. will also, in all probable
ity, be submitted to the jury This
declaration was made by the dying
man to County Detective Charlton, on
the evening before the day on which
he breathed his last.
The nature of the verdict of the cor
oner's inquest, an erratic affair which
found simply that Deegan had come to
his death in the manner known already
to everybody in the community who
ever read a newspaper. will doubtless
serve to pack the court room this after
noon with a large number of the friends
of the dead man and his slayer, curious
to know what the grand jury of the
county will denominte Dortics offense.
There are two other murder cases
which will also be presented by the
solicitor general for the consideration
of the grand jury. These are the cases
of William Butler, who stabbed to
death William Baker, in a fight at the
suburban settlement known as Sunny
side. and of Aleck Bowen, who killed
Henry Foreman. Foreman died from
tetanus a month after he received the
fatal wound. In both of these cases the
jury at the coroner's inquest declared
that the homicide was murder The
defendants are negroes, as were the
men they killed.
In addition to the murder cases the
grand jury Will also consider the
charges and evidence against Minnie
Cargo, the bormen chambermaid at the
De Soto, who is said to have stolen
some valuable jewels and a sum of
money from the room of Mrs. J. S.
Kerr, guest of the shotel There are
also fifteen or twenty other cases Of
less public interest. in addition to those
which have been described. The grand
jury will probably have a long session.
