Strange Freak Of Fortune.

A few years ago when Gear Aexan.
der Ill. was alive, and his family In
cluded three sons, it almost seemed
beyond doubt that the succession to
the throne was secured to his descend
ants, and that it could hardly pass to
his brother or nephew. However, the
eldest son, now reigning as Nicholas
H., though married, is the father of
daughters only; the second son is
dead, and the third son; now twenty
five years of age, is unmarried and
apparently content to remain so,

The situation In the Canadian 500,
which was the scene Of serious rioting
by the discharged employees of the
Consolidated Lake Superior company
all Monday. is very grave. No rein
forcemHnts Of militia have arrived
from outside. and the only defense
against the mob, which grows hourly,
is a more Or less demoralized police
department. and small company OF
milittamen. An assault Upon the Of
fee building by the mob early Mon
day afternoon before the arrival on
the ground of troops was successful,
and a mass Of frenzied men secured
possession Of the ground floor of the
building. destroying everything NOV
able that came in their path. A crowd
of the Office staff, with drawn revoL
vers, prevented their gaining access
to the upper floors Of the building,
Every window and door In the build
ing ia smashed In, The arrival of the
troops on the grounds, armed with ball
cartridges, about 2 o'clock. served to
restore some semblance of order. The
rioters then contented themselves
with throwing stones at the building
and hurting invectves at the soldiers,
who established dead line" and pre-
vented any approach toward the build
ing by any of the rioters.
Information Just received develops
that the officers Of the Algoma Central
have refused to send a train for the
more than 400 men who are in the
lumber camps Of the company. The
men in the camps have been made
aware Of this decision by their friends
intown and the whole body of men is
now marching into the town.
The gravest fears are expressed for
the outcome when this body Of men
reaches the 500. The men are said
to be angry that the company, which
refuses to pay them wages, should re-
fuse to furnish them transportation
back to civilization.

the deepest sorrow, was dedicated in
st. Johns Church yesterday at the

triple base of marble upon an oaken
block. In bold Roman letters encir-
cling the font is the inscription Suffer

the font is inscribed I'm Loving Mem
DRY of Clare Van Brunt Avery with

REV. A. M. WILLIAMS, D. D.,
PREACHED OF "TH0RNS.'
Pastor of Trinity Church Alluded
to Small AnnOyances,

IAstor OF Irln1ty Church Alluded
to Small AnnOyances.
At Trinity Church last night Rev. A.
M. Williams, D. D., preached an in
teresting sermon on the subject,
''Thorns, taking as his text Hebrews,
6:S, THAT which beareth thorns and
briers is rejected"
Dr. Williams spoke of the thorns
that are planted, Intentionally and un-
Willingly, into the bosoms of men,
and said that among the tortures in
fiicted upon the Saviour, before He
was led away to be crucified, was the
placing upon his head of a crown of
thornS. This was a deed done in cruel
satire and was among the acts that
broke the heart of the innocent VIC
tim
Human nature has much that is
good in it, but many thorns are plant
ed along the path of each man and
woman. Speaking generally of the
small trials, or thorns, DR.. Williams
made a special plea for consideration
for the men employed on the street
railway cars. They have long hours and
hard work, and it is distinctly putting
a thorn in each ones bosom, he said
to quarrel with them if they occa-
sionally forget to stop on a certain
side of the street.
Constant nagging on the part of hus-
bands and wives and occasional differ
ences that pass beyond the ordinary
stage, all give thorns in the flesh thai
it is so desirable to avoid

senting shining muzzle towards the
disturber.

the answer from a soldier in kahki,
ducking out of line from the carbine
and standing quiet for a parlay. I'm

YOUNG CAVALRYMAN
Is DOING WELL.

Condition of Private SibestOn Is as
Good ns Could Be Expected.
The condition of Private George w.
Sibeston, the young cavalryman who
had both legs broken in the Cossack
races in the exhibition drill of the
Seventh Cavalry at Camp Pulaski, Is
is good as could be expected.
Il was announced yesterday by the
attending physicians that the fractures
of the left leg were the most serious.
While the right leg is also broken, the
fracture is slight. and the greatest
trouble resulted from a serious dislo-
cation of the ankle, the foot being
knocked at right angles to the leg. 1t
is expected that Sibeston will be out
again within two minths.
Inquiries as to the young mans con-
dition We're numerous yesterday. Many
people called at st. Joseph's Hospital.
where he is confined, but were denied
admission. Others telephoned. Until
there is some decided change in his
condition the physicians will not allow

JONAH AND THE WHALE.
Rev. j. ID. Jordan Discussed Bible
story So often Doubted.

Rev. j. ID. Jordan Discussed Bible
story So often Doubted.
The perfect reasonableness of the
narrative of Jonah and the whale. in
view of the wonders performed of God
was the the theme of the discourse by
Rev. John D. Jordan at the First Bap-
fist Church last night.
DR.. Jordan practically took the en-
tire book of Jonah to discuss and told
of the several wonderful happenings it
records, including the gourd vine that
grew up in a night. DR.. Jordan said
that Jonah was sent as a foreign mis-
sionary and this showed that such
work was desired and acceptable in
Gods sight.
The direct reference to the big fish
that was said to have taken UP Jonah
and kept him three days. DR.. Jordan
said was no, more difficult to believe
than almost any, passage in the Bible.
1t would not necessarily follow that
there would be even one more fish ca
pable to doing the work called upon
by the maker of all things. God the
All Powerful. who could make the
earth and all that there is in 1t in
six days could certainly arrange to
have one fish ready to do His bidding,
and could make, a gourd vine to grow
in a single night and to pass away
in the next. e.
DR.. Jordan dwelt at considerable
length on the fact that Jonah was
among the very first of the foreign
missionaries, having been sent to
Nineveh, a city with population for
eign to that of Jerusalem.

FIREWORKS WILL
ATTRACT THOUSANDS.

Pains Display, from Manhattan
Beach, nj Fair Grounds Tonight.
1t is expected that fully 5000 people
will witness Pains elaborate display
OF fireworks, direct from Manhattan
Beach. at the Fair Grounds tonight
In anticipation of the tremendous
rush the Savannah Electric Company
will have every available car in service
on the Thunderbot line. and the cars
will be run direct to the Fair Grounds.
The cars will be run at frequent in
tervals beginning at Z o'clock, but be-
cause of the enormous crowd that will
go out there is certain to be a rush.
unless an early start is made by those
who intend witnessing the display.
If the crowds start for the Fair
Grounds early the street railway COM
pany will have no difficulty in giving
excellent service, but if the majority
of the several thousand that will make
the trip start at, or about, the same
time the company is apt to md itself
in trouble, and it's patrons are apt to
be squeezed a little. For this reason
Manager Kidder and Superintendent of
Transportation Oakley urge the public
to leave home early.
There will be a band of music to en-
tertain those who assemble before the
first bomb is sent spinning into the
air. A salute of five 15-inch aerial
maroons, fired from steel mortars. will
mark the opening of the programme at
9 o'clock. There are four of Pains
direct representatives in Savannah and
they will give the exhibition their per-
sOnai supervision. G. H. Glenn, the
fourth representative, arrived yester-
day. Because of the great amount of
enthusiasm that has been displayed
Pain has forwarded by express an extra
number of rockets. bombs and novel
ties, and the display will be the most
dazzling ever seen in the South.
A score of uniformed and plain
clothes men will be on the grounds to
prevent disorder and thefts. The de-
tectives will mingle with the crowd,
and the men in uniform will keep
themselves in sight. Every precaution
will be taken by the police and it is
expected that everything will pass off
quietly. Tie trains bearing excursion
lists will reach the city during the morn
ing, and the hotels anticipate a rush.
