JUDGE LEWIS DEAD.
Ex,Justice of Georgia Supreme Court
and Man Who First Nominated
Bryan for the Presidency.

Judge Hal r. Lewis died at his home
in Greensboro, Ca, Thursday morning
after long illness. For several months
past he has been confined to his room
on account of i'll health.
Judge Lewis was the son OF Col and
Mrs. Mills W. Lewis, Of Sloan, Green
county, Georgia. He was educated in
the common schools Of the county, and
was later sent to Emory College, where
he graduated in 1870 with honors.
Shortly after leaving college he studied
law, was admitted to the bar and re-
moved to Atlanta, where he opened a
law Office. Later he formed a partner
ship with Edgar H. Orr, who is now
justice of the peace there. He was
also assistant state school comm's'
sioner under Commissioner Orr. Be-
fore practicing law, however, he taught
school at Clinton, in Jones county, Tor
two years..
After remaining in Atlanta for sew
eral years he moved back to Green's
boro, where he practiced law until ne
was appointed associate justice OF the
supreme court. In 1896 he was elected
as delegate to the national democrat
ic convention from the state at large.
He sprang into national fame at the
Chicago convention by nominating Viii
liam ]. Bryan for the presidency OF
the United States. His speech caused
a great scene in the auditorium, and
there was a stampede for Bryan.
In 1897, when Judge Spencer R. At
kinson retired from the supreme court,
Governor w. Y. Atkinson appointed
Judge Lewis to succeed him. He was
later elected for the regular term OF
six years without opposition. In 1880
Judge Lewis married Miss Halle Pou'
lain, of Green county. Three children
survive Judge Lewis, two sons and one
daughter.
Judge Lewis resigned from the su'
preme court last October a year ago
on account of failing health.

DutY Above Life.

Life is matter of very small account
to anyone in comparison with duty doing,
whether man realizes this truth or not.
Whatever is worth living for is wortl,
dying for, if dying be an incident to its
pursuing. When the Roman General,
Penney, was warned against the danger
of his returning from ..qvpt to Italy, to
meet a new trouble in his own land, his
terioc answer was: 1T is small matter
that I should move forward and die. 1t is
too great matter that ] should take one
step backward md hre. Lite is never
duty. He who would tell lie in order
to i've is willing to- pay "a great deal
larger price for his life than fiat life is
worth to himself-or to others.-H. c.

Transferred Beauty.

Let our temper be under the rule Of
the love of Jesus. He cannot alone curb
it-He% can make US gentle aud patient.
Let the VOW, that not an unkind word to
others shall ever be heard from our lips,
be laid trustingiy at His feet. Let the gen.
tleness that refuses to take ofense. that
is always ready to excuse, to think and
hope the best. mark our intercourse with
always studying the welfare of others,
finding our highest joy in blessing others.
By His grace the most commonplace life
can be transfgured with the brightness OF
heavenly beauty. as the infinite love Of
a divine nature shines ont through our
frail humanity.

Merchants Association Ask That
Work on 1t be Hurried Tn.
The Retail Merchants Association is
anxious for Savannah to get all that
is coming to her, and to have it come
at once. This sentiment was embodied
in a resolution passed yesterday morn
ing, asking that Hon. Rufus E. Lester
use his efforts to hurry up the work
on the United States Marine Hospital,
for which an appropriation of some
100000 was made some time ago, and
which, it is understood, is available so
soon as the architect of the Treasury
Department has approved plans for the
proposed building. Congressman Les
ter will be notified of the action of the
association probably to-day.
The three committees appointed from
the association to plan for the various
ways in which it is hoped to benefit
Savannah held joint meeting yester-
day afternoon. Nothing definite was
decided on, the meeting being, for the
most part merely for an exchange of
ideas, which was thought desirable be-
fore the committees prepare the re-
ports to be submitted to a call meet
ing of the association. AS soon as the
reports are ready such a meeting will
be held

PUBLIC LIBRARY
ABOUT ASSURED.
Matter VIII be Fully Discussed by

Matter VIII be Fully Discussed by
City Council Tonight.
The question of a free library for
Savannah will come up for discussion
before the Committee of the Whole at
the meeting of Council tonight and it
is probable that some definite decision
will be reached. It appears that some
agreement with the Georgia Historical
Society will be reached whereby Sa-
Vannah will have a free library.
The majority of the members of
Council seem to be in accord with the
scheme and if no legal objection can
be made to an appropriation it is prob
able that the city will assist in the
support of the Georgia Historical Ii
brary. 1t has been figured that about
$4,000 a year will be required to make
the plan a success and in the neigh
borhood of $1,000 will be spent for new
books each year.
The question of the establishing of a
poor house may also be brought UP.
Alderman Colding, chairman of the
special committee named by the
Mayor, will endeavor to-day to ar
range a meeting between his commit
tee and the County Commissioners, in
which event the matter will be
brought to the attention of Council
An ordinance providing for the paw
ing of Park avenue with vitrified brick
will be introduced by Alderman Wat
son, chairman of the Committee on
Streets and Lanes. The ordinances
providing for the paving of Broughton
lane and Perry lane, from Bull street
to Drayton street, will be put on their
second reading at the meeting.
A member of Council expressed him
self in favor of paving all of the
lanes north of CASTOR street, east and
west of Bull street. Besides adding
to the appearance of Bull street the
alderman thinks that the paving of
the lanes is a good thing from a sam
itary point of view.
The ordinance of Alderman Schroe-
der making rules and regulations for
the operation of the fire department
will be read for the second time and
pasesd. The ordinance was read for
the first time more than a month ago.
Beyond the paragraphs designating
foremen as captains and assistant
foremen as leutenants there is but
little difference in the new ordinance
and the old one.
A petition from various citizens in
dorsing L. d. Jones for the office of
building inspector will be read.

CHURCH FIGHTS SALOON.

Grace Congregation Objects to Hav-
ing BarrOOm on the Same Block.
Members of Grace Crurch are object
ing to the city granting a license for
a saloon at the northwest corner of
Duffy and jefferson streets, and the
matter will come up before Council
at its meeting tonight. Grace
Church is on the southeast corner of
Park avenue and jefferson street, one
block from where it is desired to open
a saloon.
Although the application for a license
does not come up until tonight MEM
bers of Council were approached yes
terday morning and asked to vote
against the issuing of a license. Some
OF the aldermen spoken to were, how
ever, under the impression that it was
sought to have a saloon opposite the
church. Along with the petition OPP
posing the granting of a license will
be read a letter from X r. Horton,
who wants to run the place, and an
Endorsement from property owners who
do not object to the running of an or
derby saloon.
The petitioner for the license says he
intends having a thoroughly orderly
place, and that he would be proprietor
of no other kind. He gives Council a
string of references, and says that it
is his intention to have his wife and
daughters in the store with him, and
that certainly under such circum-
stances would not think of maintaining
an Objectionable place.

RUNAWAY HORSES MAD PACE.

A runaway horse attached to a de-
livery wagon of S. F. Smith, grocer,
set vicious pace for couple of
blocks on Henry street yesterday aft
ernoon. The horse was left near the
corner of Henry and Abercorn streets
while the driver delivered some pack
ages. Taking fright at something or
possessed with a desire to upset
things generally, the animal made
dash on the sidewalk and took the
walk at a full run. At the first jump
half of the wagon load of groceries
was pfled out in the street and on the
grass plat and the rest were scattered
along the walk. The animal cleared
the sidewalk of everything there was
on it. In front of the home of DIR.
Daniel, at Henry and Abercorn streets,
he struck young tree, swapping it off
at the ground. The collision over
turned the wagon against the house,
smashing the wheels and top and pill
ing out what was left of the groce-
ries. The horse broke loose there and
with one shaft and part of the har-
mes hanging to him, he turned down
Dravton street at mad pace. At
Duffy street he collided with Kirby's
delivery cart and a short distance
further on was captured. Half a dozen
people narrowly escaped being run
over

BOY WAS DROWNED
IN ARTESIAN LAKE.

Reported That He Was Pushed Into
the Pond at Water Works.
In the placid water of the artesian
lake at the Water Works on Gwinnett
street, Jake Maxwell, a 12-year-old boy
living at No. 554 Gwnnett street, east.
was drowned some time early yester-
day afternoon. The body was discover
ed about 2 o'clock, but the boy was al
ready dead.
There is an element of mystery con-
nected with the drowning and neither
Coroner Keller nor the police were able
to find any person who saw Maxwell
fall into the water. AS soon as the
dead body was discovered the police
were notified and Coroner Keller was
sent for. The coroner went at once
to the Water Works and made an ex-
animation of the body, but found no
marks of violence.
Some one had reported that the boy
had been pushed into the lake by a
companion, but the police were unable
to find anybody who witnessed the act
and the coroner was equally as unsuc-
cessful in his effort to run the story
to earth. The officers were rather in
clined to the theory that Maxwell fell
into the water, but are stiI investigat-
ing the matter. The body was ordered
to the morgue by Coroner Keller and
further investigation will be made
to-day when an inquest will probably be
held In the mean time the officers are
in hopes that somebody who saw the
drowning will show up and clear the
mystery

K. OF P. MEMORIAL SERVICES
FOR SIR KNIGHT LEOPOLD.

1t is still undecided whether Forest

knights of Pythias will together hold
a special memorial service in honor of
deceased knights w. T. Leopold,
grand keeper of records and seals, and
r. F. Harmon, past grand chancellor,
or that their deaths will be commence
rated only at the annual memorial ex-
ercises of the order Some days ago
Excelsior Lodge passed a set of reso-
lutions inviting Forest City Lodge to
join it in special service. 1t was ex-
pected that the matter would have
been decided at the meeting of Forest
City Lodge Monday night or at the
meeting of Excelsior Lodge last night
No decision was reached.
1t is probable that the matter will
not be decided until Mr.. w. H. Leopold,
keeper of records and seal of Forest
City Lodge, returns to the city or is

Unusual Case Discovered by Police
on Lumber Street.

Unusual Case Discovered by Police
on Lumber Street.
Seemingly not interested in what
became of the body of his wife who
died Monday morning. and enjoying
himself within a few feet of her
corpse, G. w. Tucker. a white man.
was found by Union Patrolman Har-
ley and Mounted Patrolman Herman
last night in a shack on Lumber
street, near Sims.
1t had been reported to Officer Har-
ley that a woman had been dead in
the house since 10 O'Clock Monday
morning and that her husband was
acting like a crazy man. Accompanied
by the mounted patrolman Harley
made an investigation and found the
man with a negro woman in the
house with the body.
The man gave his name as Tucker,
and declared that he had no money to
bury his wife. To the officer he ap
peared to have been drinking. He
claimed that he is employed by the
Seaboard Air Line and that he re-
ported the death of his wife at the
City Exchange on Monday so that the
body could be taken away.
Tucker told the patrolman that the
woman died from malarial poisoning.
The matter was reported at police
headquarters by the officers who
made the investigation and the health
department win probably be asked to
take some action. The man was left
in the house with his dead wife.
