HOT WEATHER WILL DRIVE
CROWDS TO RESORTS
Tide Will Be Just Right for Bathing at Tybee and
Other Resorts Offer Varied Attractions

Unless there is a drop in the tenn
perature to-day. and this is by no
means likely, there will be a rush for
the resorts and the Tybee Railroad and
Savannah Eelectric ~ Company twill be
kept busy. W g Is
There will be a great many excur-
sionists in the city and augmented by
the homeSfolks the resorts are certain
to be well patronized. AT Tybee Is
land this afternoon tide will suit for
bathing and hundreds will take advan-
tage of the opportunity to take q dip
in the surf. A special schedule is be-
ing operated by the Central to the is
land, and IL is promised that there will
be accommodations for all.
At the Casino. at Thunderbolt, the
famous pianist Milo Deyo will be
heard both. afternoon and evening.
There will be the usual concert by the
First Regiment Band, an attraction in
itself. The Romanv pianist who has
delighted Savannahians recently will
be heard in the afternoon at O'Clock
and will give his final concert at 9
O'Clock in the evening. The usual ex-
cellent suppers will be served at this
resort.

of the delegates and preachers will re-
main during the Wesley bi-centenary.
The recent visit of Rev. w. r. Lam
buth of Nashville, Tenn, missionary
secretary of the church, and his sug-
gestions touching the necessity of an
advance movement in this city to reach
the unchurched and the masses, will
no doubt meet with the heartiest CO.
operation on the part of the conference.
Great weight is attached to the views
OF DIR. Lambuth on this subject, be-
cause of his extended knowledge in
this special line of work. Having trav-
eled throughout England and the Unit
ed States studying these problems his
address at Trinity Church Thursday
night will no doubt result in some
practical plans being set on foot during
the district conference and centennial
exercises.
The conference will meet Tuesday.
June 49, and be in session the three fol-
lowing days The district comprises
the counties of Chatham, Mcintosh,
Screven, Bryan. Liberty, and Effins-
ham.

SAVANNAH'S ATTRACTIONS.
OFFERED EXCURSIONISTS.,
ARE WITHOUT EQUAL
During the Summer Months the Railroads Make
especially of Hauling People From All over
the South to This Place, and the Many
Beautiful and Quiet Nooks Of the
Forest City Are Infested
With Strangers
With Strangers.

Savannah, always a mecca for the
excursionists of the interior, is be-
coming more and more so each year,
and this season bids fair to have the
largest number of. visitors that has
ever been attracted by cheap rates to
the city, and pleasant resorts to visit
after they have arrived.
The Central of Georgia is making a
speciality of week end rates that draw
to Savannah many hundreds of people
from the interior every Sunday. Trains,
on which these cheap rates are allowed,
are operated from practically all the
large cities reached by the system.
Trains leave Montgomery, Columbus
and Atlanta on Saturdays, and Macon,
Augusta and Dublin on Sundays. At
Gordon the Macon train takes on
coaches from Eatonton and Milledge-
VILE, thus giving three seashore spe-
Gals into this city over one system
every Sunday.
Special pains have been taken to
make the schedule convenient one SO
that the visitors may arrive at their
homes, on the return trip at conVen-
lent hours. The special trains leave
Savannah at $50 o'clock, reach Dublin
at 1883, that night, Augusta at 1888
and Macon shortly after midnight.
For these several trains reduced rate
tickets are sold at practically every
point on the system. Then further to
advertise Tybee, which is the objective
point of the vast majority of the visit
ors, the Central has posted at every
station on the system large ana
handsome Autograph, showing a Tybee
beach scene.
The advertising that is being done for
Tybee by the Central Mr.. Charles f .
Graham, proprietor of Hotel Tybee, and
Mr.. William Bohan, proprietor OF
South End Pavilion, has already re-
suited in a heavily increased travel 10
the island, as was shown by an increase
of 1000 during the first two weeks OF
this month over the same period last
year.
Should the crowds continue to in
crease during the summer as they now
bid fair to do, it will prove that Typee
is one of the best advertised, as II Is
one of the most popular resorts on the
South Atlantic coast, and will mean,
further, that next summer additlonal
hotel facilities will be needed to take
care of the crowds, either through ao-

VaIdOsta Couple Kept It Quiet for a
Month.

Valdosta, Ga, June 2o.-Deputy

this city at cambridge about a month

ing their own way since then, and no
one knew that they were married until
to-day. The bride was on a visit to

night, and this morning the story of
the secret wedding was given out

linemen, were amicably adjusted, and
an arrangement was entered upon by
which the men went to work in their
old places yesterday morning. Neither

AN INFlRM LUNATIC.

Alexander Ford, an old negro who
gives his age as 81 and looks it, was
arrested on a writ of lunacy sworn
out by T. F. Hall in the Court of Or
binary yesterday. He was arrested by
Deputy Sheriff Fennell.
This is not the first, nor second, nor
yet the third time that Ford has been
arrested on a similar charge. This
time the specific act which caused the
swearing out of the warrant was an
attack with an ak which he made on
one of his neighbors. He is now in Jail,
awaiting trial by a Jury.

HEROIC SELF-SACRIFICE.
Conspicuous Instance That Came I'm.

Navy officer.

Speaking of heroism," said navy Of
ficer at his club few evenings ago, re
ports the New York Tribune, at is rare
that such an example Is seen as that
Of an old associate at the naval acad-
envy, Hynson. who was passed mid
shipman at Vera Cruz, in 1846. It was
really more than bit Of heroism; it was
fortitude, passive courage, that con-
fronted peculiar danger, a self-sacri-
ice that was most conspicuous.
Our fleet was off the harbor on block
ade duty when one day Spanish mer-
chant vessel managed to slip in without
being discovered. Hynson conceived the
idea of capturing the vessel by night at
tack, and he succeeded in doing so. But
as he eou d not take the vessel out of the
harbor, for the reason that she was un-
der the close range Of the enemy's guns
and forts, Hyson set fire to the vessel.
In doing so he burned both his arms so
badly that he carried them in sings for
several days. While In this disabled
condition terrific squall came up and
played havoc with several Of our little
vessels, and the one on which Hynson
was serving was capsized Hynson and

FINDS A SKELETON ON
ISLAND In THE RIVER

Workmen employed by Wausau in
quarrying rock in Clarke's island for
macadamizing purposes, uncovered the
skeleton Of young man, the skull and
larger bones being in excellent preserv-
alton. A hewed cedar slab covered
the bones, which crumbled when
touched, showing long burial. There
are no evidences of clothing, but the
thinness of the skull and tuft OF
light hair showed the bones to be
those Of white man.
J. G. Clarke, who settled on the
island in 1S4S, knows of no man ever
buried on it, and the superstition is
that the young man was one Of the
many of Hudson's Bay and Aston Ful
companies agents who roamed this
section in the early part of the last
century.

incidentally receiving a purse of s275.
The score stood to g Alex Bande-
line, of this city, pitched the game
that won the pennant. Among the
other Grand Rapids boys who played
on the Bruce team are, Paul Love,
Dick Smith and Bert Mclaughlin.
Says the Rice Lake Leader:
Editor Doyery of the Barron Shield,
slips his trolley when he makes the
statement that the game of base ball
between the Bruce and Rice Lake
teams broke up IN a row a week ago
Sunday at Bruce. The members of
the entertaining team acted like gen.
tlemen before, during and after the
game, and took pleasure in showing
the visitors all the courtesies possible
during their stay. The Rice Lakers
were defeated and acknowledged the
same-in fact they showed the true
craftsmanship Of Sir Thomas Upton
and went onto the diamond with the
silent wish, may the best team win
and it did. The return game here last
Sunday broke up at the end of the
fifth inning on account of the rain.
The score stood to 4, which shows
that these teams are evenly matched
on the diamond.
