COMING OF T.P. AIS.
BRINGS UP AGAIN QUESTION OF
GETTING AN AUDITORIUM.
ANOTHER LARGE CONVENTION
MEANS THAT SAVANNAH MUST
HAVE ALSO MORE HOTEL ROOM.

This Es That of Master Mechanics

Meet in Savannah in 19O4--Number
of Delegates Usual at This Con-
ventlOn About 3,OOO-F. S. Anthony
and e. Gefcken other Savannah
ians who win Attend Saratoga
Convention.
The news that the T. P. A. national
convention will be held in Savannah in
1905 was received in Savannah yester-
day with entire satisfaction, and plans
were even discussed as how best to pre-
pare for it, despite the fact that the
time of the convention is still two
years off.
The general sentiment seems to be
that that auditorium" must be had;
that it is necessary, and that the ques-
ton should be agitated until some
means of getting such a building is
discovered.
1t was a pleasure to the local T. P.
AS, too, to learn that Mr., Lovenstein,
secretary of Post A, of Savannah, and
of the state division had been selected
second national vice president. Both
Mr.. Lovenstein and Mr.. Robert M.
Hitch, who went as delegate from the
Chamber of Commerce. and presented
the invitation. on behalf Of Savannah,
will receive a warm welcome upon their
return, which will be within day or
two.
The readiness with which the con-
vention was secured for Savannah is
proof that those members of the Cham
Der of Commerce who want Savannah
made the convention city of the South,
are on the right track, and that the
desired end can be accomplished If suf-
ficient effort is made.
In this connection it may be of in
terest to again mention the fact that
an Invitation is to- be extended this
month to the Master Mechanics and
Car Builders, to hold their next con-
vention in this city. This organization
will meet in Saratoga, June "a, and
will be attended by Mr.. w. H. Young.

SAVANNAH TEACHER IN
CHARGE OF NAVAL SCHOOL.

Mr.. T. H. GignilHat of the Barnard
Street School of this city will again
take charge of the naval department Of
the Culver Summer School at Lake
Maxinkuckee, Ind.
Several Savannah boys are talking of
making the trip with him. He says it
is a splendid chance for any boy who
desires a complete change, specially for
a boy who is getting run down and
needs a season in a bracing climate.
The summer naval feature at Culver
was opened last year for the first time,
as an experiment only. The success
of the enterprise can be gathered from
the fact that Munsey's Magazine for
this month devotes four pages to an
illustrated article on the subject, ana
that the enrolment for the coming sea-
son has already more than doubled last
years entire attendance.
This being a summer school, the re-
creation item is one of the matters re-
ceiving the greatest attention. This
has made the school popular with the
boys themselves. Many of the cadets
who were there last year expressed
desire to return another year. and their
names are noted on the rolls Tor THIS

savannah VIII BE Ready to We'll
come All Who Come.
The committee in charge of arrange
ments for the coming celebration of
the bi-centenary of the birth of John
Wesley. in Savannah, is now receiving
large number of letters asking for
information regarding rates, places for
boarding and other matters concerning
the event.
From every indication it is now evil
dent that a large number of visitors
from various portions of the South will
come to Savannah during the celebra-
ton and remain several days. The
rates have been made very reasona-
BILE, and the fact that the exercises are
to be elaborate and interesting, will
no doubt draw to this city a great
many people, Methodists and others in
terested in the great work begun and
continued by Wesley.
The programme of the celebration,
which has been published recently in
the Morning News, is full of interest
to largeznumber of people all over
the country, and the attendance, es-
pecially from the South, is expected
to be large. A number of the most
distinguished pulpit orators of the
country will be present and will de-
liver orations touching upon the life
and works of John Wesley.
The ceremonies will include an excur-
sion down the Savannah river, an aft
ernoon at Bethesda, beautiful charity
established by Whitfield friend and CO.
worker with Wesley, and the placing
of suitable tablets on the various
places in Savannah where John Wes-
ley lived and labored while in this
country.
The Finance Committee of the BIZ
centenary celebration is now actively
engaged in getting up a sufficient
amount from the business men of the
city to defray the small expenses of
the occasion. The tablets have to be
paid for and also the expenses of the
visitors who are expected to deliver
addresses. Beyond this the celebration
will cost but little, and 1t is certain
that it will bring to this city a large
and representative body of Georgians
and many others from neighboring
states.
The celebration will begin Friday
June 26, and continue through Monday
June 90. The visitors will have ample
time to see Savannah and adjoining
cities before their tickets expire. At
tracttve entertainments such as excur-
sions to Tybee and Thunderbolt will be
arranged for Tuesday and other days
following the celebration. The visitors
will find Savannah a very charming
place, in summer as in winter, and
many will doubtless spend the entire
time allowed by their return tickets IN

COOL WEATHER
WAS VERY PLEASANT.

Did no Damage Here But Cold In
Cotton BELT Retarded Growth.
The cool weather that prevailed Fri
day night and yesterday morning over
this section was an echo of the cold
wave recently experienced in the West.
Those who were out late Friday night
felt the change and some were made
very uncomfortable, for they had pro-
vided only against the gentlest breezes.
After midnight, particularly, it was
almost cold; real cold by comparison
with the thermometer figures of mid
day. The mercury had dallied in the
middle eighties and before the next
morning was showing plain so degrees,
a drop of more than 20 degrees. OF
course, 1t wasn't a dangerous drop, but
those who forgot to close the windows
were apt to be sneezing yesterday.
Yesterday morning the air was de-
lightful and bracing. The mercury re-
manned low, and everybody kept on
the sunny side of the street. A good
many people were of the mind that the
cool weather must have injured grow
ing crops, but inquiry and investiga-
ton failed to find that anything of the
kind had happened in this section. The
cool weather in the cotton belt, how
ever, greatly retarded the growing cot
ton. Cotton is a very sensitive plant,
and grows best with steady, dry and
uncompromising sunshine. Reports
from sections in the interior show that
the cool wave was quite severe and
no doubt did a great deal of damage.
The mercury went up again during
the day, and last night was almost
back again at the old summer stand

Recently the Morning News. conn
mented favorably upon a story in the
National Magazine written by Miss
Eva Hampton Prather. The story was
entitled Little Brown Ann" Conn
menting upon the same story the At
ianta News takes occasion to say
pleasant things about Miss Prather. 1t
says
"A great many of our people have
read in the Northern monthly maya
zines brilliant and pathetic short sto-
ries of Southern life that were pecu-
liar in their fidelity to the scenery,
customs and characters of the South
ern people, whether of the elder or the
modern days. These stories were
yet few of our home people know that
this talented lady is the daughter of
our esteemed fellow-citizen, Col. John
S. Prather of the Franklin Printing
Company.
"In the June number of the Ma
tional Magazine there is story by
Miss Prather, entitled Little Brown
Ann" The era is 1S4S ard the locale
the vi,inity of the then inchoate viii
lage that is now the city of Rome. The
characters are few and the thread of
the story involves the plantation folk,
both white and black, in a series of re-
lations and incidents that are most ar
tisticaliy interlaced and find a tragic
ending that is better than nineteen out
of twenty Of the thrilling climaxes of
modern dramas.
The story, furthermore, has knitted
into it's texture psychic insight into
some phases of the race problem that
are even yet the hardest to be under
stood and dealt with by those who out
of the tangled skein Of the negro
question in the South are seeking the
master thread that will unravei the
Gordian knot.
1T is very evident that Miss Prather
has used her opportunities to study the
springs of motion and emotion in the
negro with wonderful advantage. Her
diagnosis of the inner consciousness
of the mulatto when brought into an
tagonism with the pure black descend
ed from their wild African forebears
must arrest the attention Of every one
who is faithfully trying to get at the
radices of the problem which underlies
the whole negro question-and that is
to bring about the general and iden-
teal ambition among them to be again
the industrious. reverential and trust
worthy class that was found in their
fathers and grandfathers.

daughters to the manor born.

Chairman Daffin of the commission,

was made that the fountain needed a

As Season Progresses Indications
Point to Record Breaking Year.
Despite the inauspicious opening of
the Tybee season, which was induced
by the continuous rains, it promises to
be the most successful in the history
of the island The resort seems to be
in greater popular favor than ever be-
fore, and every day the beach is crowd
ed with an eager lot of pleasure seek
ers.
At Hotel Tybee the reservations
outnumber those of any previous sea-
son, while the numbers of guests IL
larger than ever before at this time of
the year. The registration also indi-
Gates a liberal patronage of the dining
room. Every arrangement has been
made for the comfort of guests by the
proprietor, Mr.. Charles F. Graham,
and visitors are unstinted in their
praise.
The guests are also fortunate in hav-
ing one' of the best orchestras obtain
able to discourse music for them dur
ing the day. Levin's Band, which was
secured from a number of applicants
from various parts of the country, is
rendering music daily in an altogether
acceptable manner.
The South End has been literally
patronized. Mr.. Bohan has been most
successful in his efforts to please his
guests, and the South End pavilion has
been the scene of many picnic parties
already. Music is discoursed by
Rosenfeld's Orchestra. The surf,
too, is still popular. Life lines have
been so constructed as to dispel all
fear from the most timid bather. Tur-
tie hunting, too, is favorite pastime,
two of the big fellows being on exhi-
bition at the pavilion nearly all the
week.
