A TREAT FOR THE MOBILES.
Programme of Entertainment for
Mystic Shriners in Charleston.


Alec Temple, Mystic Shriners, has
been invited to be present in Charles
ton, April 8, Shriners' Day, as has al
ready been announced in the Morning
News, and doubtless will accept the in
vitation. Some part of what is in store
for them can be gathered from the fol-
lowing programme, which has been an
nounced in Charleston:
There will be large array of cam
els, donkeys, elephants and mules to
bear the Mobiles as their brethren of
Eastern plains are wont to travel.
though to somewhat different purpose
and with lighter dispositions than those
of the pilgrims who go to Mecca. The
dignitaries of the order will be mount
ed on the elephants and will wear
their gorgeous robes. the other OFF,
GERS will ride on camels and the general
body of the Mobiles will march on foot,
in regulation costume, evening dress,
with fez, making a very striking effect
in the MONDAY. There will be some
special features besides, such as the
blanket tossers. who will give exhibit

prominent members of the order and
most of them known well in Charles
ton, whose conduct on the streets will
excite wonder and amaze. Then there
will be the candidates, and the public
is bound to gaze upon these with as
constituent, awe and great pity. The
prospect at present is that there will
be between sixty and ninety victims

Il Not Used-But Two Objections
Filled by Property Owners to the
1nsures the Finest Hospital South
of baltimore.
The United States Senate and the
House of Representatives have passed
different bills for the establishment of
q marine hospital at Savannah. Day
before yesterday, as reported by the
Morning News. the House passed it's
hill and yesterday the Senate voted for
q hospital here.
The bills differ in the amounts they
name for the erection of the building.
The House bill stipulates that there
.ball be not more than $125,O00 ex-
nended. while the Senate is more lib
eral, with $15O,OOO.
It is said that the House bill carries
with it a provision that $4,000 addi-
tonal shall be available for the pur-
chase of a site for the building, should
this prove necessary. This would seem
to Indicate that there is a question as
TO whether the government lot at the
southwest corner of York and Aber-
corn streets will be used.
Two Savannah business men have
been mentioned as working a plan
which, they hope, will net them snug
sum if the Abercorn location is not Sc
lected. 1t is said that they have been
busy securing options on various pieces
of property that they think it posi-
bic the government might desire for
the hospital.
But two neighboring residents or
property owners, it is said, have Of
fered any objection to the location of
the hospital at the corner of York and
Abercorn streets, though it has been
published that such objections. if they
were entertained, were invited. On
the contrary, it is said that some of
the residents and property owners have
declared for the hospital.
The differences between the Senate
and the House bills Will be adjusted.
They viii be made to agree upon the
question of the amount to be expend-
ed. This has been learned from let
ter received from Congressman Les
ter.
With even the smaller amount, that
named in the House bill, a handsome
and commodious building could be
erected. Not between Baltimore and
New Orleans is there a marine hos
pital that could compare with such as
could be erected here for $125, 900.

IN MEMORY OF WHITNEY.

Memorial Tablet, 1t Is Urged, Should
BE Erected at Mulberry Grove.
A question has been raised in Sa-
Vannah as to whether Augusta can
rightly claim the honor of the loca-
ton that should be marked by a tab
let commemorative Of the genius of
Eli Whitney, inventor of the cotton
gin. The ruins of the little work.
mouse at Mulberry Grove, some miles
apoVe savannah, lon the river, il is
Claimed, should be marked by the tab
IeI as IL was there that Whitney de-
Vlsed his gin and put it to a satisfac-
tory test.
The report that the committee from
the New England Cotton Manufacture
er Association, appointed for the pur-
pose, has raised $1,000 for the erection
OF a tablet to Whftney's memory has
caused general satisfaction, but op-
position to the location selected has
been expressed.
Mulberry Grove was the plantation
owned by the Mossman family prior TO
the Revolution. 1t was confiscated nv
the state, and, after the Revolution
was granted to Gen. Nathaniel Greene
with a large sum of money. After
zen. Greene's death young Eli Whitney
appeared at the home of a neighboring
planter, by whom he had been engaged
as tutoor for his children. For some
reason there was a rupture of this
agreement, and Mrs. Greene, relict of
the General, gave Whitney a home at
Mulberry Grove for time. There he
began to display fs inventive genius,
ana this was so marked that Mrs.
Greene was wont to talk about it
among her friends.
One day visitors at Mulberry Grove
were discussing the difficulty and the
tedium of the process of removing lint
from the seed of cotton. This work
had been done by hand, and its ex-
IRENE slowness offered an obstacle to
the development of the industry of
cotton culture and manufacture that
had proven insuperable. Mrs. Greene
advised her visitors to see Mr.. Whit
ney, who" she declared, could make
anything" as she thought he could de-
wise machine that would do the work.
The suggestion was made to Whit
ney, who had, up to that time never
seen any cotton. He was impressed by
the possibilities, and went to work upon
his machine. In a little house, the ruins
of which, overgrown with bushes, may
still be seen, he perfected his invention.

TO ASK CONVENTION HERE.
baptist Delegates Who Will Attend
State Convention in Rome.

COhtGhAAUn hOmes
The First Baptist Church, by unani-
nous vote, has decided to invite the
Southern Baptist Convention to hold
the session of 1903 in Savannah, and
the other Baptist congregations of the
city will be asked to join in the in

some two thousand prominent people
from all parts of the country. They
will remain in session five or six days,
but as each delegate and each visitor
will pay for his own enter
tainment there will be no tax
on the hospitality of the cit
liens in anyway. From a bust
ness, as we'll as a religious standpoint,
it would be good thing for Savannah
so there is little doubt that the bodies
invited to cooperate in the invitation
to the convention will do so most
heartily.
This invitation will be extended
through the state convention which
will be held in Rome the latter part
of this month. Most of the delegates
from the Savannah Churches to this
meeting have already been mentioned
by the Morning News. Those of the
First Baptist Church are Rev. DR.. J.
D. Jordan, the pastor; Mr.. D. B. Nor
gan, Mr.. R. B. Powell, Mr.. w. G.
Brewer and Mr.. Allen Sweat. The
members from this church who will
represent the New Sunbury Associa-
ton are Mr.. ]. S. Wood and Mr.. G. S.

A FEW JOBS Open
REYNOLDS CAN USE SOME
KOEUAS.
Openings For Industrious and Enter
prising Citizens at the Leper Settle
ment-Mrs. Fitzsimmons' Husband.

" could use few more good ko-
lluas," said Superintendent Reynolds of
the Leper settlement referring to a
letter from the leper settlement, adj
dressed to the Board of Health and con-
tanning a protest against allowing one
V. NJ. Fitzsimmons to go to the settle
ment as a helper. IF a few good men
wanted to go as kolJuas I wouldn't mind
but of course they would have to be the
right kind, and willing to work.
Many Of those who try to get permits
sion to go as kokuas merely want to
live free and do nothing, on someone
else's rations. Possibly Mr.. Fitzsim-
mons thought he could have a good time
on half his wife's supply, and escape
hard work His wife is not in need Of
a helper at present, and her letter to
the board leaves no doubt that she
doesn't want him there. I understand
he did not support her very well be-
fore she went TO the settlement and
probably she thinks she is better off
without him.
"The koxuas are expected to do some
thing to pay for their board at the set
Element, and there is work there now
for a few more"
The Job of kOkua is not necessarily q
life job. In some cases kOkuas are al
lowed to leave, though of course there
is a careful examination to satisfy the
doctors that they have not contracted
leprosy The Board of Health is con-
stantly in receipt of applications from
people who want to go to the settle
ment, most of them being people who
would escape working for a living, even
at the expense of being shut up in the
settlement. In one recent case the APP
plcant cultivated sores with the idea
Of making the doctors think they were
leprous, so that the application would
be approved.
Fitzsimmons had an idea of doing
something of this kind, according to his
wife who wrote the following letter
when she heard of her hubby's applica-
ton
DIR. Sloggett, President of the Board
of Health.
Dear Sir: l understand that my hus-
band, V. NJ. FitzsimmOns, is about to
send again an application to the Board
of Health to be allowed to come into
the leper settlement as a kokua' or
helper to me. If such an application
be sent into the Board of Health 1 wish
to say to you that l do not want him
to be sent here as my helper, as 1 am
quite able to do for myself and do not
need any help from him at present. He
has also written To me that he will
take some kind of medicine and pre-
sent himself to you to be examined as
a leper. 1 write you this letter because
his intentions of coming here is not
good.
For if he is really sent here I am
afraid he will do me some unknown in
juries. 1 remain, your very truly.
MRS. V. NJ. FITZSIMMONS."
Mrs Fitzsimmons has not been at the
settlement very long, and is not badly
affected. She has a kokua of her own,
it is stated, and is quite content to let
the board of health rules operate TO
keep her and the husband, whom it is
stated she at one time half supported,
apart.
