ator and reelected Mr.. ]. R. Cain of
Savannah, clerk. 1t decided to meet

versary sermon was preached by Rev.

airy sermon by Rev DR.. Jordan, while
the sermon of Friday was delivered by
Rev. Mr.. Van Deventer. The work of

LETTER FROM FRIENDS
OF FIELDER BILL.
Commissioner Moore Says This
County Wants No Felony COnvicts.

Com missioner Moore Says This
County Wants No Felony COnvicts.
The County Commissioners and the
Ordinary are in receipt of a commune
cation from a committee appointed at
a recent meeting of representatives of
the County Commissioners and other
local road authorities in Atlanta, Civ
ing the result of the meeting and
briefly explaining the new convict law
as it relates to the working of con-
victs on the public roads. No repre-
sentatives of Chatham county were at
the meeting. The communication is
in the interest of the measure.
The present law, which disposes of
the felony convicts, goes into active
operation on April l, 1904, on which
date the contracts under which the
cOnvicts are now worked expire. By
the terms of the act the counties are
given the right to work on their pub
lie roads and public works those con-
victs which are apportioned to them
for a period of five years, beginning
on April l of the coming year, or, If
after a trial of twelve months, they
desire to do so, they may cease to
work them and turn them back to
the Prison Commission, to be other
wise disposed Of
THE letter may accomplish it's pur-
pose in some other county than this
one" said Vice chairman Moore, when
asked about the communication. I'VE
have determined on our course, and
we do not want any felony convicts.
Our share would be sixty-four, and 1t
would cost us about $4,000 a year
to maintain them; and we would lose
$4,000, or Whereabouts, from the school
fund. 1t doesn't cost the county half
as much to work A misdemeanor con-
Wet from this county as it would to
hire the felony convicts. We have
| made extensive improvements in the
county under the present system; we
have enough convicts to do the work
| and do not have to engage free labor
We do not need the long term crim-
nails from other counties We, rather
prefer our full proportion of the school
fund"

ST. PAUL'S RECTOR'S
LAST SERVICES
Rev. J. L. ScuIIy Leaves This week
for Columbus.


for Columbus.
Rev. J. l.. Scully conducted his Fast
Sunday services as rector of st. Paul's
Church yesterday Tomorrow night
or Wednesday morning he will leave
for Columbus to take charge of Trini-
ty Church and parish of that city.
Both services yesterday were large
ly attended. Rev. Mr.. Scully made no
formal farewell, in fact referred to
his coming departure but briefly. At
the night service he made no reference
to his going at all. Many of his con-
gregation waited for him at the door
and bade him farewell.
The sermon at night was based on
texts from Acts. Oh. xiii, II and
Oh. xviii: II. 1t was a sermon in
tended to show how God cares for his
servants and keeps his promises, even
when the fulfillment of these promises
seems beset with, to mortal eyes, al
most insurmountable difficulties.
The speaker traced Paul's travels
to Rome and his work in that city
and after referring to the apostles ut
terances when the end was near: IT
have fought a good fight, 1 have fin
ished my course, have kept the
faith" said that the day will come
if his hearers be faithful, when they
too can say the same. He closed
by explaining what 1.-The faith" means.

TEARS OF FATHER
DIDN'T CHANGE GIRL.
Police Tried to Assist Grief-Stricken
Mnn.

Believing that his daughter was earn
ing an honest livelihood in Savannah,
an aged and respected resident of a
neighboring county was shocked by the
discovery yesterday morning that she
was the inmate of a house in the Ten
derloin.
In vain the father endeavored to
secure admittance to the place, and
as a last resort he was forced to call
upon the police to assist him in get
ting into the presence of his hayward
daughter. When the stranger told his
story to the desk sergeant at police
headquarters Patrolmen Hartley and
Lady were sent with him to the house
in question. ...
In the company of the uniformed
men he had no difficulty in getting to
his daughter. Even the officers of
the law were touched deeply at the
meeting. 1t was not the greeting that
a father usually receives from daugh-
ter who has not been under his roof
in months In an arrogant manner she
refused to listen to the words of ad-
vice as they fell from the lips of the
almost broken-hearted man.
His tears and prayers were of no
avail and the fallen daughter refused
to think of either home or mother. The
old man cried like a babe and there
were tears in the eyes of the uniform
ed men. But the hayward girl laughed
at the sobs of her parent and in
sharp tone told him not to make a fool
of himself. Even promise that a deed
to all of his property would be made
over to her failed to accomplish what
was desired. Under no circumstances
or conditions would she agree to inn
mediately give up life that has been
a bed of thorns to her. although she
promised to return home after the fair.
At police headquarters the old man
thanked the officers for the help they
had given him. His task had been
most difficult one, but the hardest was
yet to come. He had to return to his
wife and tell her of his discovery. Nor
We're the police unmindfu of his feel
ings. They failed to tell him that the
young woman was rather we'll known
to them and had been for months.
That she had narrowly escaped arrest
for the theft of money at different
times was also hidden from the father
and there are some things that he will
not have to tell his wife.

MISSIONARY TO JAPAN
OF CONDITIONS IN EAST
DIR. II. ID. Peery Told of Progress of
Christianity in Japan.

Christianity in Japan.
DR.. r. B. Peery, a missionary of the
Southern Lutheran Church to Japan,
spoke yesterday morning in st. Paurs
Church and at night in the Church of
the Ascension. Both addresses dealt
with missionary conditions in the ORR
ent, interviewer with descriptions of
Japanese customs and religions.
DR.. Peery spoke in the highest terms
of the progress in civilization that is
being made by the Japanese. They
have a great desire to take up with
the Western civilization in all its forms.
Already they have excellent telegraph
systems and railroad facilities, and
electricity is used in many forms. In
other respects they are far behind the
great nations of the world.
The desire to take on Western cvili-
cation is a great aid in spreading
Christianity. Other aiding points that
were mentioned were the throwing off
of the old religions, and the kindness
to missionaries. The liberal and en-
lightened governments and the free
dom of religious belief are also in
calculable aids.
The hindering effects were given as
the general despising of all religions,
especially by the hgher educated
classes. Religion is looked upon SIM
ply as a device to comfort the aged
and the women and for children. The
lack of proper support to the move
ment by the churches on this side the
ocean was named as a hindering effect.
The speaker closed with an appeal
for aid, that the missionary work
might be given wider scope, and the
spread of the Gospel might be carried
on with greater freedom and over wider
territory.

BENEFITS OF PERSECUTION.
Rev. A. r.. MiIIer's Subject at the
Christian Church.

Rev. A. R. Miller. pastor of the
Christian Church. preached yesterday
on THE Benefits of Persecution, TAX
ing the Apostle Paul as a study.
When Paul was chosen a servant
it demanded much of all he held dear,
traditions of race, education at the
feet of Gamalia, tribe inheritance, and
| personal ambition. All this he realized
in the words from his own pen, said
Mr.. Miller, for IF any man become a
| follower of Christ he is a new man;
! old things pass away; look, all things
are made new" Paul knew what it
meant to represent Christ among a
| world of men who hated Him, and all
| who represented Him.
Mr. Miller said the one test of
| Christian character is to suffer with
Christ by loss of all things, and like
Paul, one must not only be a vessel.
| but an empty vessel for filing by
Christ. And a faithful servant must
! endureth all things. 1t was no small
matter for Paul to yield all national
and family teachings, yet this he did
for Christ He could not understand
at this time all the glory of 1000 years
! was to fade away in a few minutes
IN his experience, and as true of his
loved nation in a few years. Christ
llot NAMES lHlS test OF our earthly
loves by stripping us of them that all
may see in the converted the spirit of
Christ. No man can win the riches
in that better home until he has first
become poor in this world.
And faithful servant must be pa
tient, said Mr.. Miller, and must die if
needful. The cause of Christianity
suffers from too many who are called
Christians and disciples of Christ, who
nave been buried in the likeness of
Christ's DEATH" but failed to be res
directed in the likeness of His resur-
rection." Water-like burial, Tut not
a Christ-like resurrection. How would
you prove the difference between the
old man in the life of sin in the world
and the new man in Christ Jesus? Too
often no death has taken place.
PauIs sutferings taught him to say,
the man who is in Christ is a new
man; old things have passed away and
all is new. By this he meant the
Things he once loved he hated, and the
things he once hated he loved. Paul
did not attend prayer meeting on
Wednesday night and a dance on
Thursday, for love for such things was
dead.
The speech of Christians identified
them in the family of God as perfect
~ as the German, Italian, French or
Engllsh tongues Identifies their nation
atty. Put the German in any land,
environ him with any circumstances,
and still his tongue tells his nativity.
EVIL conversation keeps the old man
OF sin alive, and the world knows him
by his conversation.
This putting away of former things
by dispelling them from our minds, so
that room may be made there for the
new things from Christ is large les
son, concluded Mr.. Miller. 1t demands
a crucifxion of the flesh and its in
fiuence over the spirit, so that the re-
newing of the mind for the government
of the concerted may be possible. While
evil is practiced 1t keeps the mind un-
der control. Love of this life costs the
one Christ has to bestow.

CORPORAL WILL GO
TO FORT HOSPITAL.
DIR. Winders Says FIynR's StupOr
Was Due to Loss of Blood.


Was Due to Loss of Blood.
Suffering from the injuries that he
received in the neighborhood of the
Gas House Hill Saturday evening,
Corpl Flynn will be taken to the hos
pital at Fort Screven this morning by
DR.. A. Winders. who has been treat
ing him.
DR.. Winders dressed the corporal's
wounds before he was taken to St.
Josephs Hospital and says that the
soldier was in a stupor from the loss
of blood and not from any liquor that
he may have been drinking. DR.. Wind
ders says that the corporal lost a large
quantity of blood and suffered from
this as well as from the shock.
The soldier will not be able to ap-
pear against his assailant, Josephine
Aston and Maggie Lawson. in Police
Court, this morning. DIR. Winders says
that Flynn has lodged no complaint
against the women, and that under no
circumstances would he be able to at
tend a session of Police Court. The
physician says that the corporal will
have to be taken from the hospital to
the Tybee depot on a stretcher and is
in no condition to give testimony. De-
tective Murphy, who arrested the wom-
en-, will appear for the prosecution at
the investigation.

RAIDED CRAP PLAYERS;
ONE CAPTURED
Gang Makes Headquarters ON Union
Station Tracks.

Gang Makes Headquarters on Union
Station Tracks.
An organized raid on the crap shoot
ers that make their headquarters in
the neighborhood of the Gwinnett
street crossing of the Union Station
tracks was made yesterday, and one of
a gang of twenty was captured.
The colored devotees of the bones
have been in the habit of doing the
seven 'leven" stunts at this place for
several months, playing often in the
daytime, but chiefly at night, when the
game is carried on by the light of
candle ends stuck on the end OF ties,
while the dice are rolled on the smooth
white sand and between the tracks.
AS the track here is on a high en-
bankment, no one could approach with
in several hundred yards of it with
out being seen by the players so That
it has been impossible to capture them
heretofore.
Yesterday, however, as Assistant
Station Master Perry was coming INTO
the station he had the train stop close
to the players and made a dash into
the crowd and collared one of them.
The prisoner proved a vicious GUS
toner, however. for as soon as ne
found that his captor held him by the
collar of the coat he slipped from that
garment, gave Perry a few vicious
scratches on the wrist and made good
his escape.
Perry brought the coat to the sta
ton as a trophy, and then, knowing
that the gang would gather again. he
planned a regular raid. With the as
sistance of Patrolmen Harley and
Christy and a transfer man he ran
the yard train out to the crowd. and
as the train slowed up the crowd or
raiders made a break for the gang
The negroes were not taken unaWares,
however, for before the would-be cap
tors could get to them they had slid,
rolled and tumbled down the steep
incline jumped a ditch, climbed
through barbed wire fence and were
making off across an old field toward
the cemetery
The raiders were close at their heels.
Christy began to shoot to frighten some
of them into halting, and one of the
boys did stop for a moment, calling
out at the same time in a plaintive
voice, hold on dere, mister; hold on
dere," but so soon as he found that
the officer wasn't shooting to hit he
slid through a fence and did a hot
foot" to join his companions. Perry
ran his man down, caught him in the
trousers band to guard against any
trick similar to the one that had
euchered him out of his first prisoner
marched his man across the field to
the train, brought him to the city and
sent him to the barracks.
The station people have had no end
of trouble with the gangs of negroes
that congregate in this vicinity; in
the summer to battle in the canals in
which they disport themselves au nat
ural, and in cool weather to shoot crap.
That they are prepared to do mischief
is shown by the fact that the man
captured yesterday had in his pocket
as a weapon half a brick.
