A MONUMENT TO
MICHAEL SERVETUS.

Savannah, Ga, Nov 14.-In the men,
tai evolution of the race the Time Spirit
receives an inspiration and an impetus
of incalculable significance when, from
time to time, from it's appointed path
are removed the monumental impede
ments that the worlds bigots have
built mot wisely, but too well' along
the highways of history; and when,
in the fullnesS of time, foremost among
the clearers of the way, appear the
professed followers of its former OBJ
structionists, ready to rectify the err
rors and willing to atone for the Of
lenses of those whose memory they
yet revere, then may all men realize
that the world moves, indeed, and in
a sense that even Calico never dreamed
Of
One may thus reflect on observing
that on Oct o. 1903, the Historical So
ciety of Calvinists erected at Geneva
an expatory monument as an express
sion of sincere regret for the one great
error of Calvins life-the merciless in
stigation that caused the death of Mi
chael Servetus by burning at the stake,
$50 years ago, which monument bears
the inscription: Erected in memory
of Michael Servetus-victim of the reli-
gious intolerance Of his time and burn
ed for his convictions at Champel, Oct.
q, 1553-by followers of John Calvin,
$50 years later, as an expiaton for that
act and to repudiate all coercion in
matters of faith"

CIRCLE OF SHOWS
ON MIDWAY BROKEN

The circle of shows on the Midway
has been broken and at 10 o'clock there
was distinct air of desolation about
the enclosure. Bostock has vanished
and likewise has Mr.. Wilson with his
Darkness and Dawn and the Turkish
Theater. The Indian Village is down
and the cowboys were busy last night
loading their tents and horses for
shipment. The wild man has gone and
Bonita has likewise disa appeared. Dot.
the Egyptian Kings daughter has
closed, and Bells Indian mystery has
pulled stakes and gone.
The Trip to the Moon and the House
of Trouble were still running. There
was a fairly good-sized crowd on the
grounds, despite the fact that the fair
had closed at o'clock. and the few
shows that We're running We're liberal
ly patronized. The Willis Riding
School was open and the "Volcano,"
one of the star attractions. kept it's
tent doors open to the public.
By this morning all of the tents will
be down and the showmen will scatter
There have been only one or two
changes in the routes of the shows as
announced in the Morning News yes
terday. The Black Mahatma will win
ter in Savannah instead of returning to
Coney Island as announced. Mr.. Nor
ris and his volcano" win visit South
Carolina towns and give exhibitions
during the entire winter.

NANA'S FINAL FAREWELL.

The stay of Suchorowsky's painting
mana" in Savannah is to be pro-
longed, owing to the success which has
attended it's advent. The painting is a
poem. Long after looking at its glory
of tint and form one feels the glamor
of the painting. During the last three
weeks thousands have flocked to see
this exquisite creation of the painters
art, which is now on exhibition at 309
Bull street, and spent considerable time
in admiring the many beauties of this
remarkable painting. 1t is a picture
which requires study for it's virtues
are so numerous that passing glance
is insufficient to reveal them all. The
beholder is first bewildered by the daz-
zling beauty of the flesh tints, the
splendor of the figure and the grace
of the pose. AS the first comprehen-
siVe glance gives way to more criti-
cal scrutiny the glorious art with
which the whole canvas is handled i'm
dresses the eye. The greatest triumph
is the modelling of the figure. There
is none of the waXen effect so COM
mon in flesh tints. The pose is modest,
although the matchless figure is abso-
lutely undraped. The face is wonder
fully expressive. The eyes dance with
light and the dewy lips, bent to a.
smile as the sleeper awakens to find
her charms mirrored in a looking-glass,
are full of expression.
AS "Nana's" stay here grows shorter
the number of visitors seems to grow
larger. mana" will remain on exhi-
bition the coming week at Is cents from
10 a. m. until 10 p. m. A ladies' fare
well reception will be given Tuesday.

HER DEAD HUSBAND
CAUSE OF DIVORCE.

A libel for divorce that presents
rather unusual grounds for the separa-
ton was filed in the Superior Court
yesterday. The petitioner is Arthur T.
Covar, while the defendant is Cora A.
Covar. 1t is alleged that the parties
were married Feb. 20. 1896; that there
has been no issue to the marriage, and
that neither has any property of which
a schedule may be required in such
proceedings.
The plaintiff AYERS that his wife was
a widow with four children when he
married her. and that though he did
all in his power to please and satisfy
her and contributed all of his small
earnings to the support of his wife
and that of her children, yet the de-
PENDANT seemed dissatisfied with the
plaintiff in every way constantly
throwing up the superiority of her first
husband to him, and that she finally
deserted him Nov. 10, 1895. The de-
PENDANT, 1t is alleged, is being sup
ported in ease and comfort by her
grown children.

Temperature Climbed to so Degrees
During the Afternoon.
With temperature rapidly increas-
ing in its intensity during the morn
ing hours and the weather close and
sultry, making winter garments un-
comfortable, yesterday was an I'M
natural day for this season of the
year. AT o'clock in the morning the
thermometer registered Sc degrees,
which was the lowest reached during
the entire day. At o'clock in the aft
ernoon mercury climbed up to so de-
grees.
To-day's forecast is fair with fresh
west to northerly winds, which will be
appreciated after the hot spell, The
night was cloudy and threatening, the
temperature gradually decreasing in
it's intensity.
With a rapid eastward movement
and decreasing in intensity the south

The cold northwestern high pressure
area has increased in intensity spread
ing southwark and eastward and now
has a crest over the Mississippi val

The weather is reported cooler in
every section of the country except
the southeast, which keeps Savannah
ians guessing when will the weather
become seasonable in this section.

BULLOCK COUNTY GAVE
LOYAL AID TO FAIR.
Assistance Went Far Toward Max
ing 1t the Success Ii Was.


The people of Bulloch county aided
loyalty in making the fair the big sue
cess that it was. Their exhibit, while
not winning the first prize, came in a
close second. This is the first year
that the county has had an exhibit on
the road and its efforts have been
crowned with creditable success. The
showing here was greatly in advance
of that at Macon, two additional car
loads of exhibits having been added
to the display.
In the matter of supporting the fair
with their crowds the Bulloch coun-
ty people have been equalled by none.
Wednesday was Bulloch County Day
and it was the largest, in point of
attendance, of any at the fair. The
receipts in Treasurer Levy's hands
show that nearly $500 Bulloch coun-
ty eXcursionists people visited Savan-
nah and the fair on Wednesday. They
all helped in talking it up, and the
fair management is exceedingly CRATE
full for their loyal aid.
Tuesday was also Bulloch county
day in many respects. There were
many visitors from that county on the
grounds and all were enthusiastic in
the work of booming the fair. The
| closing days of the week were also
marked by the presence of a number
of Bulloch people, and the success OF
the fair is in a great measure due
TO their loyal support.

ing and and the trick riding were good
and the exhibitions of rope spinning
and lassoing We're excellent.
The Indian village gave but one
performance and then closed. The
crack rifle shooting by Bessie Ken
tnedy and her performance in the
chariot racing has proven great hits
with the spectators and are we'll
worthy of the applause which they
drew. Mr.. William Kennedy with his
trick riding has made a big hit and
was loudly applauded yesterday. Mr..
James Kennedy, the bucking bronco
rider, has given excellent exhibitions
of horsemanship each day of the fair
and his appearance is always APP
plauded.
Mr.. Ben Holmes and his rope spin
ming feature were particularly good
and caught the spectators. Mr.. VIII
liam Salisbury did some good riding
also and is worthy of special mention.
Miss May Holmes who rides in the
chariot race with Miss Bessie Ken
nedy, gives a good exhibition of hand
ling the ribbons over the four horses,
and is cool, steady and confident.
The entire troup will leave the
grounds and Savannah this morning
if they can pack their goods in time
Mr.. w. H. Kennedy and Miss Ken
nedY return to their home at Perry
Oklahoma. Mr.. James Kennedy has
signed with a large ranchman in the
west to break bronchos. Messrs.
Holmes and Salisbury have not yet
decided where they will go. Miss
Holmes will return to Perry with the
kennedy's.

handsomest structures of it's kind in
the city, and is greatly admired by all
who have inspected it. There are eight
rooms in the building, and all have
been fitted with the most modern con-
veniences. The hospital room has been
filled with all the necessary medicines
for the treatment of the diseases of
children. The nurses rooms have been

the least cry from one of the children
Will bring some of them to its side.
Everything has been arranged for the
best interests of the little inmates.

Georgia Baptist Convention Opens
Next Thursday.


Rev. j. D. Jordon, pastor of the
First Baptist Church, and Rev. Robert

to be in attendance upon the annual
convention of the Georgia Baptist AS

The convention will be opened on
Thursday morning at 10 O'Clock, lasting
until Saturday to be followed by a
memorial service on Sunday morning.
The indications point to an unusually
good meeting at Athens, reports to be
made by the various committees on
education, home and foreign missions,
Sunday-school conditions, the Baptist
Young Peoples Union and the Or
phans Home. Rev. Mr.. Jordan is
a member of several of the committees
and will take a prominent part in the
meeting.
Although the place of the next con-
vention is to be decided at the meet
ing at Athens it is probable that Co
lumbus will be selected as that city

welcome, and it has been nearly a score
of years since the convention was held
at that place.

HOW CONDEMNED MAN
SPENDS LAST DAYS.
Lee Crib Resigned to His Fate; Is
Model Prisoner.

ACc CEAbD NesASneu TO HIS rates Is
Model Prisoner.
Lee Crib, the Coffee county muir
derer, who was sentenced to have been
hanged last Tuesday, Nov. 10, and who
was granted a respite until Dec. II,
by Gov. Terrell, is still! being held in
the Chatham county Jail in the care
of Jailer Seyden for safe keeping.
Cribb has received no official infor-
nation from the Prison Commission,
which is looking into his case and dis
playing no anxiety as to the decision
that will be reached by that body ap-
pears to be fully resigned to his fate,
ana is spending the days of what will
probably be his last month on earth
unconcerned over the issue of life and
death in his case.
Spending the long hours of the day
among the other prisoners confined in
the jail and occupying a cell to him
self at night, the condemned man dis
plays an unusual interest in what is
going on outside of the prison walls
conversing with his fellow prisoners on
Whatever topic is brought up and sell
dom referring to his own fate. When
his companions breach the subject,
even to express sympathy for him,
Crib answers with few words, thus
dismissing the subject.
Since his baptism two weeks ago by
local minister of the Baptist church
and a minister from the scene of his
crime, Crib had been deeply religious
and spends a great deal of his time
reading his Bible. To look at the con-
demned man, his meek, humble face
which shows culture and refinement,
one can hardly imagine Crib the Grim
inal with the record that is his.
Should the Prison Commission take
action in Cribs case to save him from
the gallows, which the condemned man
evidently expects, or, on the other
hand, if he hangs on Dec. II, Crib
says that he will be resigned to his
fate and will not murmur Further
than this, he declines to have anything
to say for publication. Jaier Seyden
declares that he has been model pris-
Oner.
