BISHOP LEO. HAD
AT THE FAIR TONIGHT.

The second week of the fair for. the
benefit of the Sacred Heart Church
building fund, at Catholic Library
Association Hall, begins tonight and
all day the committees and ladies' in
charge of the several booths and ta-
bles will be re-arranging and preparing
for another bright and interesting dis
play. The fair is already a very great
success; large attendance has been
noted every night and the gifts and
contributions have continued to come
in, making it possible for the fair
committee to offer choice and beauti-
full goods. The present week will, If
possible, be even more pleasant and in
teresting than the first for a number
of special events are on the programme
and big crowds are certain to be pres
emit every evening.
Tonight the fair will be graced by
the presence of the Right Rev. Leo
Haid, who will arrive in Savannah to-
day, accompanied by Rev. Father
Francis, of Charlotte, especially for
the purpose of patronizing the fair,
and will be the guest of honor for the
evening. The Bishop is not a stranger
to Savannah, having visited the city
some months ago to lay the corner
stone of the Church of the Sacred
Heart.
During the week the fair is to be
visited by the Catholic Library Asso-
citation, the Elks, the Citizens March
ing Club. the Irish-American Friendy
Society and other organizations.

TO SAVE THE OLD
CITY EXCHANGE.

Colonial DANES Movement Against
DemOlishing the Historic Building.
The Colonial Danes although not
unanimous in their opposition to the
demolishing of the old City Exchange,
propose to carry their protest as far
as it is likely to avail anything. They
propose to secure, if possible, the in
fiuence and cooperation of the various
commercial bodies and other or
CARNATIONS in their protest
against the removal of the his
toric building which has been
for years a landmark in the city. The
presidents of the Cotton Exchange,
the Chamber of Commerce and Board
of Trade have been asked to consider
the matter.
The resolution against the tear
ing down of the Exchange to
make room for the new City Hall
which was passed by the Colonial
Danes at their recent state conven-
ton, was introduced. by Mrs. Warning,
who has taken an active interest in
the matter.
Mrs. Waring desires to enlist all the
organizations in Savannah in the
movement against the removal of the
old structure which has passed the
century mark and has been a silent
witness of many notable events in the
history of Savannah.

HASN'T DONE WORK.
Chief Mcguire Has Issued no New
Orders to CampOs.


Although Mayor Myers stated Satur-
day that the Campos investigation had
closed the work that Fire Chief Ma
guire ordered the foreman to do, and
that was not done, still remains unfin-
ished. The head of the fire department
has issued no new orders, and he may
not until he has had a conference with
Mayor Myers.
No repair work is done in the fire
department on Sunday, and for this
reason there were no developments yes
terday. Although the fire chief did not
care to discuss the subject, it is known
that his mind is not quite clear as to
what he should do, and that he will
hardly do anything until he has re-
ceived explicit instructions from the
Mayor.
Chief Mcguire is indignant at the
assertion that his department is de-
moralized. or anything like it, He
points with pride at the record of the
department since he has been at its
head. The fire chief says that it is
true that there are one or two dis
gruntled members of the department,
but that otherwise there is splendid
discipline, and no trouble among the
men. That there is no persecution in
the department is shown by the fact,
the chief fire fighter points out, that
this matter was investigated by the
Mayor and the charged was found to
be without foundation.

An Interesting Comparison.

1t would naturally appear that owing
to the price for which imported cham
pagnes are sold, the combined revenue
for the sale of all these wines would be
in excess of the amount paid annually
for any single brand of bottled beer.
But such is not the case, as the
United States Custom House statistics
clearly and definitely prove.
AnheuSer- Busch'S Budweiser not
only exceeds in sales all other bottled
beers combined, but has proved itself
the mightieSt competitor of imported
champagnes by exceeding their annual
revenue more than three and one-half
million dollars.
The sales of Budweiser during the
year 1902 were S3,790,3O0 bottles, averag-
ing 20 cents per bottle, amounting to
500, 947. SIS.
The United States Custom House rec
ords prove the Importation of all cham
pagnes for the year 1902 to be 366, 7Os
cases. Figuring on a basis of II quart
bottles per Case, 32S 496 bottles, and
If sold OF the maximum, $500 per bot
tie, to the consumers, amounted to
$17,313,591.
From these figures it will be seen
that Budweiser's lead was $3,633,591.
1t is a noteworthy fact that this pure
and wholesome beverage is fast sup
planting imported champagnes upon
the banquet table, just as it is sup
planting the decanter upon the side
board in American homes.
This is as it should be, and marks a
perceptible advancement in the direc-
ton of true temperance.
Budweiser is a brew that is known
the world around, and is not only pre-
ferred by discriminating customers be-
cause of its rare flavor fine efferves-
cence and perfect maturity, but pre-
scribed by physicians everywhere on
account of its absolute purity, nour-

HUSSARS WILL TRY
TO TURN THE TABLES
In the Second of the Series of Rifle
Matches Against ArtiIIerymen.

In the Second of the Series of Rifle
Matches Against ArtiIIerymen.
The second of the series of matches
arranged between picked teams of the
Georgia Hussars and the Chatham
Artillery will be shot tonight in the
gallery of the latter command, at their
armory. The Hussars' team has been
strengthened very much since the last
contest. when the artillerymen admin
istered a defeat to them to the tune Of
1,173 to 1,1S6. and the troopers promise
to turn the tables tonight by defeat
ing the Chathams on their own
grounds.
There is no doubt that the contest
will be spirited. Both teams have
practiced continually since the match
on Monday night. On the Hussars
team there will probably be some
changes Several new men have been
trying for the team, and it is not un-
likely that they will be given a chance
tonight.
The contest will begin at 9 o'clock.
Special arrangements have been made
to accommodate the friends of the
two organizations who may wish to
witness the match. The gallery of the
Chathams is more spacious than that
of the Hussars, and seats have been
arranged along the sides for the bene-
fit of the spectators.
The match will be shot with % cal
ibre rifles, German ring targets, at a
distance of fifty feet. Judges of the
contest will be appointed by the cap
tains of the respective teams. The
teams will be composed of five men
each, who will shoot ten shots apiece.
The series consists of three matches.
If the Chathams win tonight, they
will have won two out of three, and
the series. However, if the Hussars
win, third match will have to be

EASTER GOWNS
HAD ANOTHER CHANCE.
Streets and Parks Filled With

Streets and Parks Filled With
Church GOers and PrOmenaders.
1t would be very poor excuse for
an Easter gown that could not stand
the parade of the Sunday after Easter,
and so the streets and parks were fill
ed with handsomely dressed women and
well-dressed men all of yesterday.
The weather was just threatening
enought to prevent a great many peo-
pie from taking in the resorts, and
as it was entirely too fine, most of
the time for staying indoors, Bull street
and Forsyth Park got the crowds.
Yesterdays parade was not just ex-
actly the same as on Easter however,
for the family groups were not so much
in evidence.
The groups were either all men, all
women or all children, and while this
was not quite SO near the millennium,
it had to stand. The park presented
a very pretty scene all of the after
noon, and nearly all of the benches
were occupied for hours. The flowers
are yet very pretty and the lawns fresh
and green. In contrast to the natural
beauty of the place were the white and
fanciful costumes of the ladies and
young girls.

DEF0RMED BOY
SUPPORTS SEVERAL
Along With Man He Was Arrested
by the Police.

by the Police.
Armless, and with a shriveled little
hand growing from each shoulder,
making a revolving sight, Joseph
Burnes, a 6-year-old colored boy, is
held a prisoner at the police station
on a charge of vagrancy. Claiborn
Payne, aged 81 years, also colored, who
accompanied the deformed boy on his
begging expeditions, is an occupant of
the same cell on the same charge
Both were arrested by Patrolman Tim
McAlpin, the police being particularly
anxious to get the boy off the streets.
He has frightened women and chill
dren, and frequent complaint has been
made at police headquarters. On sew
eral occasions the boy and the man
who accompanied him were notified
that they would be arrested if they did
not keep off the streets. The warnings,
however, were of no avail, and the ar
rests were made as a last resort The
prisoners will be arraigned before Re
corder Myrick in Police Court this
morning.
According to the boys story. and.
mentally, he is bright, he has, for some
little while, been supporting several
persons by his deformity. He realized
from So to IS a day, and on Saturdays
has collected as much as Sc The
money that he collected, he says, was
first turned over to the man who went
along with him, and afterwards given
by him to his stepmother. Several
months ago younger and larger man
than Payne accompanied the deformed
boy, but, according to the boy and
Payne, he used most of the money col
lected for whisky and managed to keen
himself in a half drunken condition.
The boy was born on the Ogeechee
road and has been noticeable on the
streets, on and off, for several months.
His stepmother, he says, lives on the
Louisville road.

DIR. Ramsay's Address.
Before beginning his address Rev.
DR.. Ramsay said he believed that in
the Independent Presbyterian Church
had been set to music the hymn that
has thrilled generations, From Green
lands Icy Mountains" and he asked
that the choir sing a part of it, which
was done.
The speaker took as his subject 1.-THE
Book and Life" "I propose to show"
he said, 1.-The relation the Book sus-
tains to life, which is that of cause
and effect" In this connection he
spoke of the effect of literature on a
people and then of the effect the Bible
has had on all literature. To show the
latter he made copious quotations from
the Bible, Shakespeare. Tennyson,
Dickens and Browning.
The civilization of the English-speak-
ing people came with the Bible, he de-
clared, and the Book has always had
great'influence on the common people.
AS instancing this fact, he cited the
great excitement that attended the
reading of the early translations of the
Bible in England.
The crowning destiny of the Bible,
the speaker stated to be the fact that
1t is able to save lost men. Chris
tianity," he said, claims to take bad
men and make good men out of them,
and no other religion claims to do that.
Let us study our Bibles; get this book
into our hearts. 1t was not intended
to be kept on a shelf and if dusty and
unused has no power to keep any evil
spirits out of your life or your heart.
"A blessing comes with the study of
it for ourselves; love of it is the surest
test of our devotion to God. We should
study it in the spirit of Samuel when
he said: Speak, Lord, thy servant
heareth.'
You should make this society a
mighty and honored institution in your
city, and enable it to put this book in
every home in the land
Before the close of the meeting sub
scriptions to the society were asked
for and a collection made with salts
factory results.

WESLEY BI-CENTENARY.

The special division on transporta-

mittee has placed before the Southeast
ern Passenger Association an applica-
ton for a rate of one fare for the
round trip, from all points in the South
to Savannah, during the celebration.
The promoters of the great celebra-
ton to be held here say that there is
no reason why the affair should not
assume considerable proportions and
think that not less than 1900 people
will come from all parts of the South
to take part in the unwilling of the
tablets which will mark the places
where Wesley lived and labored while
in this country.
At the same time that the celebration
is being here, the occasion will be
noted and celebrated, with more or

CROWDS NOT FRIGHTENED
BY OMNIBUS CLOUDS.
Resorts Were Popular Despite the
Weather.

Weather.
Ominous looking clouds, a beastly
March wind, and an occasional peal Of
thunder, couldn't keep the crowds
from the resorts yesterday afternoon
1t was a disagreeable and threatening
afternoon, but nevertheless the subur-
ban lines were well patronized.
At the Casino the First Regiment
Band held forth and many heard an
excellent programme. During the aft
ernoon there was considerable excite
ment on the grounds by the capsizing
of sail boat, the Muddy Day. The
boat turned over at the Casino dock
and its three occupants, all men, were
precipitated into the water.
They escaped with nothing more Sc
rious than a good ducking and the boat
was righted in a few minutes. The
crew of the Muddy Day was preparing
for a race on the river when the sail
ropes became tangled and a sudden puff
of wind did the rest The patrons of
the resort were We'll handled by the
Savannah Electric Company. Many
remained at the Casino for supper and
the dining room was crowded during
the evening. Crab stew Of an excel
lent quality was on the menu card and
Manager Nelson was kept busy attend
ing to the wants of his patrons.
Although Alex M. Barbee's new place
at Isle of Hope will not be open to the
public until the middle of May quite
number of persons visited that resort
and were looked after by Mr.. Barbee.
The pavilion and restaurant that he
is building will be as attractive as
any around Savannah. Mr.. Barbee will
have a large clock on his new place,
for the convenience of the residents
of Isle of Hope, and his patrons. The
clock will strike the half hours as we'll

In the Long Room at the City Ex-
change, at 4:3O O'clock this afternoon,
an important meeting of representa-
tives of the Board of Trade, Chamber
of Commerce, Travellers Protective AS

The matter of making an effort to
secure for Savannah the national con-
vention of the Travellers Protective AS
ISOLATION in 1905 will be taken up and
some decided action will be taken. 1t
is probable that every effort will be
made to have the convention held in
Savannah, and if the proper encour-
agement is offered it is not believed
that there will be any great difficulty
in getting the drummers to come here.
Most likely one or two persons will be
named to go to Indianapolis, during

work to have the 1905 convention held
