TWO MEETINGS OF GRocERs.
Wholesalers 10 Hold a Conference
and Retailers to Organize.

and Retailers to Organize.
There will be two meetings Of the
grocers of Savannah to-day, the first
that of the wholesalers, who will meet
at the headquarters of their associa-
ton on West Bay street at 4:S0 o'clock,
and the second a general meeting of
all the retailers, TO be held in Knights
Of Pythias Hall at $50 p. m. These
meetings have been planned as the re-
suit of a visit to this city Of Mr.. ]. A.
Van Hose of Birmingham, president
of the Southern Wholesale Grocers' As
ISOLATION.
The meeting of the wholesalers. said
Mr.. Van Hoose yesterday, is merely for
a sort of conference, an inquiry into
the conditions of trade, to look out that
freight rates are equitable, the rela-
tons that exist among the firms en-
gagged in the business, and kindred
matters. The meeting of the retail
ers, however, Is for the purpose of
forming a stronger organization, an as
ISOLATION for mutual protection that
shall embrace practically every MEM
Der of the trade in the city and which
shall be affiliated with similar organi-
cations in the other cities of the South.
The wholesaler and the retailer must
work in harmony, is the opinion of Mr..
Van Hoose, as each is dependent on
the other. This is the opinion held
by the organization of which he is the
head. and ii has been its constant eff
fort to secure organization among the
retailers, hence the call for the meet
ing tonight.
The Southern Wholesale Grocers' As
ISOLATION is established in some twelve
states and has membership of about
$50 firms. Savannah is considered one
of the chief points of the associa-
TONS strength, and as such is visited
at least once a year by some officer
of the association. Mr.. Van Hoose has
made such visits before during three
successive terms as president. He is
high in his praise of the city's i'm
portance and strength commercially,
and of the excellent regulations borne
by her business men generally, and
wholesale grocers particularly.
Mr.. Van Hoose is the junior partner
of McLester & Van Hoose, wholesale
grocers. and, besides, is connected with
number of other Birmingham enter
prises, among them being banks and
land companies. At one time he was
Mayor of Birmingham.

UP TO THE GOVERNOR.
Surgeon General Explains Marine
Hospital HOIdup.

Hospital HOldup.
Mayor Myers learned yesterday
morning that it Is up to the state to
do something in the Marine Hospital
matter. A new cession of the land on
York and Abercorn streets must be
granted, and a bill with this end in
view was sent to Gov. Terrell some
time since by the authorities at Wash
ington.
Health Officer Drummer received a
letter from Surgeon General Wyman
yesterday, in which ii was stated that
the supervising architect some time
ago forwarded a communication to
Gov. Terrell. asking that the state
grant new ceSsion so that work
might be started on the Marine Hos
pital. 1t was recited in the letter that
at the same time bill was forward
ed to the Governor. The authorities
at Washington however, have never
heard anything more about the matter,
and it is I'D to the state to make ex-
plantations. The communication from
the surgeon general was forwarded to
Representative p. A. Stovall, and 1t is
probable that the matter will be taken
up at once. =

never happened in no other way. She
said that she had written a book and
that she had always been a great hand
at writing.
Laughed and Wept.
Miss DeCris laughed and talked
pleasantly at times, but wept when
any reference was made to her arrival
in this city. She declared that while
she felt keenly the disgrace. nothing
worried her so much as the thought of
coming TO Savannah and facing those
she has known for so long a time.
She said that she knew a crowd would
be on hand to gaze at her as she would
leave the train and she wished if
possible to avoid this embarrassment.
An effort was made to have the train
stop in the yards so that a cab could
be taken outside of the city. This
plan. however. fell through.
At the police station the young wo-
man was made as comfortable as pos
sible in the large room on the second
floor. She stated that she did not care
to see visitors and with the exception
of the Morning News representative
who accompanied her from Atlanta
she refused to talk to newspaper men.
During the morning she stated to the
Morning News man that she had no
recollection of having ever said any
thing about the Baltimore man being
an accomplish and confessed that she
had worked the swindle single hand
ed.
For several hours she was unable to
recall what had happened to the soil
taire ring secured from Desbouillons.
1t finally occurred to her, however, that
she had pawned IL at the place on
Congress street, near Barnard, and
she so stated to Detective Wall and
the newspaper man. The ring was
secured later by Detective Wall and
Supt. Reilly. 1t was the last piece of
the stolen ieMelrY to be recovered

ST. Andrews MEN AND THEIR
GUESTS DINED.
IN HONOR OF THE PIOUS SAINT.
ATE HAGGIs, DRANK HOT SCOTCH
AND SANG SCOTCH SONGS

Beneath the flag of bonnie Scotland
$50 members Of the st. Andrews So
ciety and their guests sat down last
night to the Scotchmens annual din
ner at the De Soto. The dining room
was decked in green, and the yellow
flag with the red dragon hung in
graceful folds opposite the picture of
St. Andrew, whose pious and immortal
memory every Scotchman reveres.
The tables were arranged crosswise
of the dining hall, with the presidents
table extending along the north wall
in front of the great fire place and
facing the other tables. Palms and
ferns, potted plants and flowers were
in profusion, the chandeliers were
entwined with bamboo, and the win
dows were draped in green. A screen
of bamboo across the east end of the
room concealed the orchestra which
played during the dinner.
Piper in Highland Costume.
A feature of st. Andrews dinners
for several years has been the piping of
Scotch airs by Piper Cam
eron in Highland costume. 1t was
a feature Of the dinner last night, and
when the strains of 1.-THE Campbells
Are Coming" were piped, the enthu-
siasm of the older Scots reached its
hight. Never has the st. Andrews
Society given a more enjoyable dinner,
or one where more good fellowship
reigned.
The Members and Their Guests.
The members and their guests as
sembled in the parlors and led by Piper
Cameron, marched through the corrf-
doris into the dining hail. At the head
of the table sat President William F.
Train. At his right was Mayor Myers
and at his left Rev. M. Campbell
Stryker. On the right of Mayor Myers
sat Mai. John Cunningham of Mari
eta, the Oldest member of the society,
Rev. ]. L. Scully and Col. William

Stryker sat Mr.. Arthur J. O'Harap Rev.
W. C. Schaeffer, Col. Jordan F.
Brooks, Rev. John D. Jordan, Mr.. Otis
Ashmore and others. Opposite the
president sat Vice President Julian
Schley. At the ends of the presidents
table were the retiring president, Judge
Henry McAlpin and ex-President T. H.
Mcmillan. The other officers of the soci-
ETY., Vice President T. G. Reid, ex-Presi-
