which he said he could carry among
the treasured memories of his life, and
paid a compliment to Savannah, which
he said is the prettiest city he has seen
in the United States.
Mr.. Nelson then thanked Mr.. Devlin
in behalf of the members of the new
branch of the league to be formed, in
behalf of Mrs. Nelson and himself for
the compliments paid them and ex-
pressed regret that Mr.. Devlin's stay in
the city would be so short that they
would not be able to do more to show
their feeling for him and the cause he
represents. MIR. ID. j. Charlton, in be-
half of Savannah, expressed further re-
greet that Mr.. Devlin would not be in
the city longer, but wished him God
speed in his work and unbounded sue
cess in his further efforts in this coun-
try, assuring him that the Savannah
branch would do all in its power to as
sist.
The Savannah branch of the league
was then formally organized and
named The Joseph Devlin Branch of

number will be given the branch
as soon as the charter is received
which will be forwarded as soon as
possible.
Mr.. Devlin at first objected to the
Savannah branch taking his name,
preferring that the name of dead
Irish patriot be chosen, but those
present insisted that the illustrious
Irish envoy be honored, and he was
forced to accept the honor.
In spite of the inclement weather
several ladies went to the Casino and
waited until after the meeting in order
to shake hands with Mr.. Devlin.
Mr.. Devlin and Mr.. O'Callaghan left
this morning at 1925 o'clock for Wash
ington, d. c., where he will make
short visit and will then proceed to
New York. He will address an as
sembly in Carnegie Hall tomorrow.
From there he will go to Boston and
then make ten other addresses in as
many cities before his departure for
Ireland the latter part of the month.

OBITUARY..


Mrs. Craig Barrow, born Alice Bark
er, was a daughter of Mr.. C. P. N.
Barker. of Atlanta, Ga, where she
was born Nov. 29, 1880. She was mar
rted to DR.. Craig Barrow, Oct. 30, 1902,
and made her horne in Savannah at
once. By her charming manners, sweet
disposition and engaging personality,
she soon endeared herself to all who
came in contact with her. She made
for herself warm and affectionate
welcome in the circles in Savannah in
which she moved. Endowed by nature,
both mentally and physically, with at
tractive and winning traits and char
acteristics, she became readily a IA
vorite.
About two weeks ago she was taken
i'll and the attack at first was not con-
sidered serious. There developed,
however, symptoms which showed
that it was of a radical nature and
the consequences were manifestly Sc
rious. Her physicians. Drs. Warning and
Owens, appreciated from the first the
gravity of the attack and did every
thing that medical skill could do to
arrest the progress of the disease.
Once or twice the remedies appeared
to be successful and strong hopes were
entertained of her recovery, but night
before last her -malady took a decided
downward turn and nothing could ar
rest it. She died at sis yesterday
morning and will be buried to-day at
Laurel Grove. The funeral will take
place at the residence of Judge Bar
row, on the corner of Lincoln and
Jones streets.
Both in Atlanta, where she was born
and bred, and in Savannah, where her
short married life has been spent, she
endeared herself 20 all who had the
happiness of becoming acquainted with
her. 1t is a sad ending to a bright
and happy life. To a beautiful person
and charming manners in her was
united a warm, hearty, genial DISPOSE
ton, and no more untimely death, from
all human standpoints, can be imag-
ined.
Mrs. Thomas r. r. Cobb. Jr., the
widow of young Tom Cobb, as he was
Familiarity known in Atlanta, has ar
rived from Atlanta, and the brothers
of DR.. Craig Barrow, MIDDLETON and
James, have also come to Savannah to
attend the funeral. Prof. David Bar
row arrived from Athens last night.
The services will be conducted by Rev.
Robb White, rector of Christ Church

John III. Fox.

Mr.. John H. Fox died at st. Joseph's

yesterday afternoon. Although his
death has been expected almost hour
ly for several days it came as a shock
to a wide circle of friends for Mr..

The end came as the result of an in
testinal trouble with which he suffered
for years but which reached an acute
stage last Sunday morning. He went
taken to ST. Joseph's Hospital, where
an operation was performed. This re-
vealed at once the serious nature of
the trouble and the attending ply

that he cold not recover.

Liberty county, So years ago, but spent
the greater part of his life in Savan-
nah where, for a great many years, ne
was engaged in the undertaking bust
ness, for the last fourteen years as the
senior partner of Fox & Weeks. He is
survived by his wife, who was a Miss

babel Lodge of Masons, Of Forest City

Gus organizations of which Mr. Fox

MAKING SUNSHINE.


The improper selection of food drives
many healthy person into the depths
of despairing Illness. Indeed most
sickness comes from the wrong food
and just so surely as that is the case
right food will make the sun shine
once more.

Mass. says: "In October, 1900, was
taken sick and went to bed, losing
AZ pounds in about so days. l had

REPORT ON TRADE.
Bradstreet's Says That Business
Continues Large.

Bradstreets Says That Business
Continues Large.
New York, May s.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
Business continues large and industry
active, in most cases surprising previ-
Gus years at this date, despite unsea-
sonably cool weather in some sections,
and a swarm of vexatious labor trou-
bles.
Most of the measures of trade and in
dustrial volume still make favorable
showings. The simply enormous gain
in gross railway earnings reported for
April, Is per cent. over the best in pre-
vious years, is proof that past good re-
ports of trade and traffic were fully
justified.
The usual lu1l in wholesale trade al
lows of some retrospects and reflections
as to the future. Iron production is
at the maximum, but pig iron is dull
and dropping. In sharp contrast with
cruder forms, is the strength and ac-
tivity in steel and continued active sale
for finished products. The disturbed
condition of raw cotton, prices having
reached the highest point in over two
years, holds back trade for fall, though
no rather more disposition to do busi-
ness has been manifested by buyers
this week.
Strikes and lockouts interfere with
trade in lumber and other building ma
terial, particularly at New York.
Southern trade is affected by unsea-
sonably cold weather holding back
business and complicating the crop Sit
uation in cotton fruits and vegetables
The damage done by cold weather how
ever, can still be repaired by prompt
replanting and favorable weather.
