ON DIGNITY OF LABOR

Rev. c. A. jackson Will Deliver
Series of Sermons.
At Grace Methodist Church last night
Rev. c. A. jackson delivered the first
of a series of sermons which will be
given to illustrate the argument that
the Gospel of Christ, if applied. would
settle all differences between Iaborers
and employers. The dignity of labor
is to be shown by example, and with
the facts in view that the Saviour of
Man was a humble worker at one time
in carpenters shop, it will be easy to
show how much was thought of the
man who worked, and how little of the
idler.
The first sermon of the series was
under the heading Christ and Labor"
and the reference was st. John SIT:
But Jesus answered them, My Father
worketh hitherto, and | work. The
minister said that God was shown to
have worked and planned for the good

made example for all men to follow.

Interesting Exercises Held Last
Night In Trinity Church.

interesting Exercises HeI0 Last
Night In Trinity Church.
The eighty-frst anniversary of Trim
ity Sunday-school was fittingly cele-
brated in Trinity Church last night
with exercises by the children of the
school. short report by the superin-
tendent and a very brief address by
the pastor Rev. A. NJ. Williams.
The church was prettily decorated
for the occasion. and at the front, near
the platform, were number of beauti-
full memorials, to children who had
died while members of the Sunday
school; also to members of the church
who had been very faithful friends of
the school. The memorials were in he
form of handsome bouquets a floral
cross and pillow, and were placed by
loving hands to the memory of Carroll
Stringer. Mr.. Fred Donnelly, Miss
Laura Franklin and Mr.. Z. L. Neid-
linger.
The address of Mr.. Williams was di-
rected mainly to the boys of the sun
day-school, and his advice to them was
that they emulate the example of he
OK, rather than that of the kangaroo,
The latter ANIMAL while spectacular,
making long leaps in almost any di-

to anybody while living. The OK, al
though very slow and deliberate, car
ried the burdens placed upon him by
his master, steadily and faithfully in
the right directions, and accomplished
much that was useful and necessary.
Mr.. Williams also told them about the
shipmaster who found that his vessel
was being steered half point wrong
and sharply reproVed his man at the
wheel. If you are half a point from
right, boys" he said, you are on
wrong tack. and your ship will likely
go upon the rocks. Steer straight and
keep a steady and earnest movement
in the right way, and even if slow, the
results will be all right"

was taken from his head and he found
himself in an old-fashioned courtyard.
He was pushed through a door into
corridor and in an empty room he
noticed an opening in a stone wall in
which was wedged a woman, trembling
and with terrified face.
The men who had brought the mason
pointed revOlverS at his breast and or
dered him to wall up the opening with
the woman behind it, threatening to
shoot him dead if he refused Stones,
mortar and trowels were in the room
He was told that the woman was
Mahometan who had injured her hus-
band.
The mason built up the opening, the
sack was again drawn over his head
and quarters of an hour later he
was put out of the carriage at a lonely
part of the city.
As soon as he could free himself of
the sack he did so, but the carriage had
disappeared. He went Immediately to
the police and told his story, but, al
though the police are ransacking the
houses in the Mahometan quarter, they
can find no trace of the locality of this
horrible crime.

The permanent board of the corps of
engineers of the United States Army
will arrive in Savannah this morning
at S-55 O'Clock for the purpose of in
specting Fort Screven. Information to
this effect was received yesterday by
Col James b. Quinn, the new United
States engineer in charge of the Sa-
vannah district.
The board is composed of seven
members, Col. Suter being president.
They will leave during the morning for
Fort Screven, where the inspection
will be conducted during the day
While Col Quinn has not been Official
~ informed Of the purport of their
visit, il is known that the engineers
come for the purpose of inspecting the
fort preparatory to the commencement
of the proposed improvements at the
post.
Proposed improvements.
The inspection comes consequent TO
the recommendations of the War Col
lege Board for the construction of quar-
tiers for officers and non-comnissioned
stan officers, and a guard house, at
Fort Screven. AS soon as the work
connected with the inspection is con-
cluded. bids will be advertised for the
construction Of a part of the proposed
new quarters.
The appropriation will result in the
construction of nine more quarters for
the officers, and a guard house. Five
OF these, it is expected, will be erected
as soon as the inspection is completed,
and the contracts awarded. These will
cost anywhere from $4,000 to ST., 900
each, the quarters for the officers of
highest rank being. of course, more
expensive.
Accommodations Inadequate.

fort by Col. Taylor and Col Quinn,
and an inspection of the quarters and
the guard house made The accommo-
dations are at present wholly made
quate, and the officers at the fort will
impress upon the board the necessity
for the construction of al many again
as there now are. They will represent
that the guard house should be three
times as large, and locate dnearer the
railroad.
The guard house now used was con-
structed for use at the fort when but
one company was stationed there, and
is known as a one-company guard
house. There are now three commands
at the fort. and the quarters should,
therefore. be three times as large, the
officers say. The old house, it will he
recommended to the board could be
used as a canteen by the men.
1t is expected that the matter of
electrical equipment will be taken up
and an inspection made for the purpose
of ascertaining what work will be re-
quired in the installation of the system.
The officers will be in the city, prob
ably, for several days. On their re-
turn to New York, the headquarters for
the board. the report will be made, and
instructions sent accordingly to Col.
