APPEARED BEFORE COMMITTEE.

Most of the Newport delegation who appeared before the temperance committee of the Senate Wednesday night, have returned from the state capitol.
 About fifteen citizens testified that the sentiment of the majority of those living within the Newport three mile district was in favor of the Keel bill, while about half that number were witnesses to the contrary. The evil dence was largely confined to this one point, as the Senate desired to learn the wishes of the people con- cerned in this purely local measure, eliminating Newport from the pro- visions of the three mile act.
 Among those in favor of the Keel bill, appearing before the committee we T. D. Kinman, T. J. Watson, G.. w. Hurley, H. Bernstein, T. T. Ward, E. 0. Waterman, J. w. Grubbs, Park Deaderick, 0. J. Saenger, T. s. Steph- ems, M. M. Stuckey, Gustave Jones, w. A. Billingsley and others while James Henderson, o. w. Scarborough, J. E. and J. s. Wilmans, c. A. HilI- house and Revs. J. w. h, T. o. Mahan and O. 0. Cline represented -tase prtssSsssss i ssse>: z. | .l.,.,..
 No action was taken by the com mittee at that session, nor any inti- nation given by the members as to the nature of their report, but the general impression prevails that the Senate is favorable to the passage of the Keel bill.

OLD CASTLE REPRODUCED.
1t VIII he Germany's Building at
the Worlds Fair.

The plans for the German Ma
tional Pavilion at the Worlds Fair, ST.
Louis, have been completed and sub
mitted to the director of works, Isaac
S. Taylor, for approval. 1t has been the
endeavor of the German government to
keep the architecture of the building in
harmony with the Exposition buildings
in the immediate vicinity. The pavil-
ion will be fairly accurate reproduce
ton of the central portion of the royal
castle at Charlottenburg, near Berlin.
This old castle occupies conspicuous
place in the history of German archi-
lecture. 1t was built about the end of
the seventeenth century for and under
the direction of Frederick l. first King
of. Prussia. The castle was designed
by Andreas Schlueter, the greatest Ger
man architect of that period.
The architecture of the Charlotten-
burg castle is imposing. The main
facade is in two stories, crowned by an
enormous stilted dome. The facade of
the first floor Is in rustic stone. The
second floor is ornamented with en-
gagged Corinthian columns. In the
center of the facade is a projecting bay
crowned by a beautiful classic pedi-
ment.
The drum of the dome, which is also
surrounded by Corinthian engaged
colonnade, is higher than one of the
stories of the building. The curve of
the dome is broken by six bulls eye
windows and is crowned by a towering
lantern surmounted by a sculptured
figure.

FOUND BIG STILL
DEPUTY COLLECTOR THEODORE
BAsCH AFTER MOONSHINE.
WAS LOCATED NEAR ZAIDEE.
READY FOR BUSINESS IN AN APP
PARENTLY ABANDONED CABIN.

Raid Was Made Early Saturday
Morning by Deputy Collector
Basch and Deputy Marshal Stall
nncISey-COpped StiH Was Loaded
With Materials and showed Evil
dences of Having Been Used to
Advantage Berry Wilson and
Lum WarnOck Were Arrested and
Brought to Savannah.
Deputy Collector of Internal Reve-
nue. Theo. Basch, had a straight tip
recently as to the location of a whisky
still, and left Savannah a couple of
nights ago to look it up. The report
had reached him from good sources
5hat a successful liquor factory was
being operated in the country not very
far from Vidalia, on the Seaboard Air
Line, in Montgomery county, and it
was expected that there might be trou-
bile.
The deputy had been advised that
the still was located in an empty
house, on a farm. and that it was
guarded by six men, with Winches-
ters. This did not cause him to hest
tate, however, and with Deputy Mar
shall c. w. Stalnackey from Augusta,
the start was made from Vidalia at
daybreak Saturday morning. Driving
about eleven miles, almost due north,
a cabin was discovered, on the edge
of a little settlement, that tailed with
the description given. The house ap-
peared to be deserted, but 1t was with
caution that the approach was made.
Reaching the door, however, instead of
being met by armed men, there was
only the resistance offered by a board
against the door. The house was not
inhabited-but in the fireplace, and
evidently where it had served in good
purpose, was the complete outfit for
manufacturing the corn liquor that is
known to The Revenues" and a great
many other people as well, as moon
shine" The still and worm were in
place, and the mash was ready for
firing up that night.
Capt. Basch decided not to destroy
the still, but to ship 1t in to Savannah
where it will be disposed of as metal
ury.
AS soon as the discovery was made
the officers started out in the neigh
borhood to collect other evil
dence. This was readily forth
coming ana, IN TWO places near
there was ample evidence to show
that the residue had been used from
the still for stock feeding, also there
were vessels that showed they had con-
tanned moonshine whisky, and some of
the raw materials were found, ready
for mixing and placing in the still.
Deputy Marshal Basch arrested Ber-
ny Williams and Lum Warnock, and
they were brought to Savannah An
examination will be held before a
United States commissioner and it is
more than likely that both will be re-
leased on bail and required TO appear
at the next term of the United States
court.
The still and worm were taken to
Tarrytown and shipped for Savannah.
The outfit is worth probably $50. but
has likely made more than that value

HUSSARS PRIZE SABRE DRILL

To Take Place at Hotel Tonight.
The annual prize sabre contest of the
Georgia Hussars will be held on the
pavilion of Hotel Tybee tonight. 1t
promises to be as large a social fea-
ture as a military event, for numer-
Gus parties have been formed to visit
the island and in addition all the mill
tary commands will probably be rep
resented, despite the fact that it is the
regular drill night.
The regular schedule of trains will
be operated from Savannah to the is
land while a special will be run from
the island to the city, leaving Tybee
at l o'clock. city time. This is for
the accommodation of the dancers, for
dancing will take place after the drill
and doubtless will continue until this
train leaves the island.
A very large number of tickets have
already been sold. enough to assure
the command of a host of spectators.
but a further effort will be made to
sell others to-day and for this purpose
members of the Hussars' committee
will be at the depot before the de-
parture of each of the afternoon
trains.

GOSPEL OF WAGES.
Rev. c. A. Jackson's Subject at
Grace Methodist Church.

Rev. c. A. Jackson's Subject at
Grace Methodist Church.
The second in "a series of sermons on
the subject of labor was delivered at
Grace Methodist Church last night, by
Rev. c. A. Jackson, the pastor The
subject for this sermon was "The Cos
pei of Wages" and in his preliminary
remarks Mr.. jackson showed how
Christianity had modified the Puritan
forms, and religion, that was thought
to mean a study of the theories of per-
feet love and the judgment, had given
way to a more enlightened view, which
brought religion into the life of every
man and woman as necessary in every
duty. The gospel now fills all parts
of the workers duties 1t was shown
by quotations that Christ had said more
about labor than he did about regen-
Grafton. -
The dignity of labor was again re-
ferred to, and the subject of. money, its
value and what it meant, was explain
ed Money, while only dust-Was a
power, because of the conditions under
which it was made into form and
stamped. 1t was a power, and the la
borer, who tolls to procure this medium
of exchange, and applies it to the main
tenance of his family, makes money al
most divine.
Mr.. Jackson alluded to the fact that
these sermons were designed to inter-
est particularly the people who work,
and he wished that all who were en-
gagged in labor in the city, and who
might perhaps have no church affilia-
ton, and feel themselves strangers in
Savannah would call at his residence,
215 Park avenue, west. They were well
come to his church and to his home,
and would find strong friends at each
place.
The subject of the sermon to be de-
livered next Sunday is announced as
The Laborer's Burden"

All were dressed in white and the pic

BOYS IN SWIMMING
NABBED BY POLICE.
Nearly n Score Escaped with Clothes
Under Their Arms.

The first real summer day of the
year was made apparent to the police
in various and sundry ways. There
were fewer arrests for drunkenness,
but there will be prisoners enough in
Police Court this morning to keep Re-
corder Myrick busy for quite a while
Among the offenders will be three
negro Juveniles charged by Mounted
Patrolman LANCE with swimming in
the city limits. The boys were caught
in Musgrove Creek and the uniformed
man had a hard time landing them.
They were nude when made prisoners.
One of the boys refused to come out
of the water and only agreed to sur
render when the patrolman announced
that he would shoot. There were in
the neighborhood of twenty boys in
the stream when the officer arrived
on the scene, but the others took to
the tall brush with their clothes under
their arms.
