DR.. HILLS ON RUSKIN.
The 'NIessage TO the Twentieth Gem
tury'' Delivered at Guards Hall.

The "Message to the Twentieth Gem
tury' Delivered at Guards Hall.
Rev. DR.. Newell Dwight Hills. pas
tor of Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, I'M
der the auspices of the Savannah Lee
ture Course. delivered Ruskin's Mes
sage to the Twentieth Century" at
Guards Hall last night, to an audience
that despite other attractions, was of
a very fair size.
The speaker was introduced by Mr..
S. b. Adams, who after expressing the
pleasure of himself being present said
he felt sure that with the audience,
after leaving, the sentiment would be
universal that it was good to have
been there"
The lecture. which lasted an hour
and three quarters, though with un-
abated interest on the part of the audi
ence, was an exposition of Ruskin's
well known theories of work, education
and art, and sketches of his life illus
trating the practical application of
these ideas.
Not all of the lecture was entirely
devoted to Ruskin, however, for the
speaker made numerous digressions in
which he discussed everything from the
trimming of womens hats to heredity
anu eAi0SN AAtNAN OS>~ u 9AOllS save hIhl
the opportunity for many sallies of wit
and humorous pictures that always
met with an aDpreciative response on
the part of his hearers.
His views on heredity show that he
is a discipline of Holmes, when he
saws that a gentleman is the cumula-
tive product of several generations, but
with a broader application. for Dr.
Hills applies the same principle to all
the sciences and arts. All invention
and all art. he said. is but the copying
of nature. Illustrating this theory, he
said that the human body is the United
States patent office and the Smith
sonian Institute rolled into one by God
Almighty. and placed on the streets
to furnish a Calico with a principle
from which to evolve the elescope, or
a Raphael with a subject for a Sistine
Madonna.

SONS CHOSE DELEGATES.
To Represent Georgia at the Gen.
eraI sooIety's Meeting.

The Society of the Sons of the Revo-
luton in Georgia held its adjourned
annual meeting at the Court House
last night, the president, Mr.. Walter G..
Charlton, being in the chair.
The principal business before the
meeting was the election of delegates
TO the General Society, which will
committee, on motion, was appointed
by the president to nominate delegates
end alternates. The delegates reported
by this committee and elected were as
follows: Judge Pope Barrow, Gen. w.
w. Gordon, Mr.. J. Florance Minis,
Mr.. F. F. Jones and Mr.. w. R.
Leaken. The alternates elected were
as follows: Mr.. T. P. Huger, Mr.
John w, Grant of Atlanta, Mr.. w. D.
bearing, Judge Henry McAlpin and
Mr.. G.. Noble Jones.
On motion. the president was author
lied to appoint, at his convenience, a
committee to cooperate with the COM
mittees from other patriotic societies
in making all arrangements for the
Greene funeral The Sons Of the ReVo-
luton were requested by the descend
ants of Gen. Greene to name such a
committee. 1t is probable that the
committee will consist of three men,
bers.
The question of representation of
state societies in the general society
was raised. 1t has been proposed to
adopt an amendment to the constitu-
ton, but unanimous consent to such an
amendment is required. The Georgia
Society voted against the amendment,
so that it will not be adopted. The
delegates were instructed to vote
against it in the general society. The
following is the amendment proposed:
Strike out from the seventh para
graph of the constitution of the gen.
eral society the words of the general
officers and a representation not eX-
ceeding five deputies from each state
society and insert the following: 'Ot
two delegates from each state society
and one additional delegate for every
100 members or major fraction there
of; and in all questions arising at
meetings of the general society each
delegate there present shall be entitled
to one vote and no votes shall be TAX
en- by states"
Last year the Georgia Society voted
upon this amendment, but then, too, it
was defeated. The Sons in Georgia
think that the present section answers
every demand.
The Board of Mana gers of the socie-
ty held a meeting after the general
meeting, and Mr. Robert Tyler Waller
was elected a member of the Sons of
the Revolution.

UNION CLUB SHUT OUT.
South Side Administration Club
Will Hold on to Kaiser's Hall.

South Side Administration Club
Will Hold on to Kaiser's Hall.
Kaiser Hall at Bull and Thirty-first
street will not be used tonight for the
organization of South Side Union
Club. This statement was made posi-
lively last night by President John r.
Glatigny at a meeting of the South
Side Administration Club. This will
not interfere with the Union Club,
however, which will meet at the hall
at Whitaker and Thirty-second streets
tonight and hereafter President La
Roche of the Union Club said that as
soon as he had any intimation of the
action of the South Side Club, and ii
was known the Mr. Kaiser held that
the hall was under lease to the admin
istration people he made arrangements
for another hall, which will be used
as the Union Clubs headquarters from
now on.
The regular meeting of the South
Side Club was held last night, and
the question of the union forces
holding a rally in the hall was freely
discussed. President Glatigny said
that while the opposition is not feared
he did not consider it an altogether
wise policy to permit them to use the
hall. Not because of the fact that it
would be used by them one night, but
because some question might be raised
in the campaign.
The president stated that the hall is
rented by the year by the administra-
ton forces in the South Side, and that
If the Union forces were permitted to
use it once it might complicate mat
ters, and they might want to use it
oftener and at times when their meet
ings would conflict with those of the
rival club. President Glatigny said
that Kaiser Hall is the headquar-
tiers of the administration forces in
the southern section and for that rea-
son he did not favor giving way to
the other side.
Members of the club spoke on the
same line as that adopted by the pres
dent, and it was agreed to hold on to
the keys. None of the members favor
ed permitting the Union faction to
use the hall. A. B. Moore, Fred Drex-
Ter and L. NJ. Norwood were among
the speakers. Mr.. Norwood, during his
remarks called attention to the many
improvements made in the South Side
by the administration, and said that
those in charge now have done much
for the southern section of the city.
The meeting was largely attended
and was an enthusiastic one. Applica-
tons for membership from forty-five
residents of the South Side were re-
ceived and it was announced that the
club now has a membership of 273, and
is well organized.

CHINAMEN FOUGHT FLAMES.
Part of All COy's Truck Farm Build
fngs Burned.

Fire destroyed the tool house and
dwelling of All Coy, a Chinese truck
grower, on Anderson and Harmon
streets. last night. Coy carried no in
surance and in a wild effort to save
some of his household effects had his
right hand severely burned.
The Celestiars loose fitting trousers
caught fire. too and but for the
prompt action of Sing We and Cab
Toy, two Cinnamon employed on the
farm, he would have been burned to
death. Although suffering from his
burns Coy continued at work and with
We and Toy kept the flying embers
from doing a great deal of damage to
the vegetables.
An alarm was sounded from box 213,
at Henry and OFT streets by Mounted
Patrolman Brown, and the apparatus
from station No. 5 and hose company
No. / responded. The tool house and
contents had been destroyed before the
arrival of the firemen, and the dwell
ing occupied by the Cinnamon was
enveloped in flames The packing
house and barns had also caught fire.
The flames were fought under the
direction of Fire Marshal Mouro, and
the barns and packing house were
saved. Although the fire was bursting
from every opening in the house, and
the roof threatened to fall every mo-
ment, the firemen worked their way
through the blaze and with a stream
of water fought the fire from the in
side. In this manner the front part of
the house was saved from destruction,
although the contents We're rendered
Valueless by fire and water.
While the firemen were so busily en-
gagged in fighting the flames Coy and
his two assistants were particularly act
i've in a cabbage bed, and by hard work
saved most of the plants from the
plants. Several times parts of the
dollhouse became ignited, and the Chi
namen fell over each other in an effort
10 eXtingish the smaller fires. They
threw buckets of water over each 9TH
err rolled on the ground, and pulled up
cabbages to use in beating out the
fire.
A large crocus sack in the cabbage
bed became ignited, and Coy did a par
ticularly ludricous stunt in putting the
smouldering rag out. He tried in vain
to beat the fire out with the large hat
that he always wears, and when unsuc-
cessful, fell on the bag and rolled over
it again and again.
The fire attracted a large crowd.
Coy is known as a hard working man,
and has been running his truck farm
on an extensive scale for several years.
His neighbors offered him their SYM
Dathv and, did all that they could to
help him.
The fire was discovered by Coy, but
he was unable to determine how it had
started. The tool house contained all
the implements used on the farm, and
he was unable to save any of them. He
could not give an estimate of his loss,
but it will amount to several hundred
dollars. The property is owned by
Mrs. CUNT

FOR HER STOLEN GEMS.
Mary E. LouShrnn Given n Verdict
Against watson d Powers.


A verdict in favor of Mary E.
Loughran, against Watson & Powers,
proprietors of the De Soto, was rem
dered in the City Court yesterday. The
verdict was for the market value of
the diamonds and other jewelry stolen
from Miss Loughran, while she was a
guest of the hotel in 1898 and was for
1900. They jury allowed no interest.
The verdict is nearly $500 less in
amount than that in Miss Loughran' S
favor, rendered at the last trial of the
case, when she was awarded $3,315. The
discrepancy between the two verdicts
is explained by the fact that the first
was based upon the cost price of the
Jewels, many of which We're bought as
long ago as 1865, and the second upon
what the jury conceived to be the mar
ket value of the gems at the time they
were stolen.
Much expert evidence was submitted
to the jury at the trial. as to the rela-
tive values of diamonds in 1865, and in
1893 and. as is usually the case with
expert evidence, that for the plaintiff
exactly contradicted that offered in
support of the contentious of the de-
PENDANTS The jury had to make a
choice and its members evidently de-
cided in favor of the conclusion that
diamonds had deprecated in value dur
ing the period of thirty years that pre-
coded 1898.
When the case was last before the
Supreme Court that tribunal fixed the
liability of the defendants and directed
that the case should be sTSmitted to
the jury to determine a single issue
what the jewels were actually worth at
the time they were stolen.

BOTH WANTED BULL DOG.
Unique Contention of Defendant in
Possessory Warrant Case.

PossessOry Warrant Case.
A fight for the possession of a bull
dog valued at $50 was decided by
Magistrate G.. Noble Jones yesterday,
and the canine was awarded to b. w.
Metz, who had issued possessory
warrant with Richard Sanders as the
defendant
The case was rather a unique one
, because of the contention of the de-
PENDANT. He did not deny that Metz
is the owner of the dog, and gave as
his reason for holding it that the
plaintiff had refused to give him IS.
He charged that the dog had sharp
ened his teeth on a goat and that for
the damage inflicted he required the
sum named.
Mr.. Metz refused to give up any
such amount and Sanders refused as
promptly TO surrender the canine At
ter hearing the facts Justice Jones
promptly awarded the dog to it's own
er, who furnished bail in the sum of
500. The canine was in court and
displayed great fondness for its
master, while it refused absolutely to
have anything at all to do with the
man VINO had been holding it for ran
som.
