a strong effort is being made among
the odd Fellows in Savannah for the
reorganization and revival of Canton,
Chatham No. l, Patriarch Militant, the
uniform branch of the order. A num-
Der of the prominent Odd Fellows are
interesting themselves in the matter,
and committee appointed for the
purpose has just prepared a circular
letter, which will be sent to the mem
bers, announcing a meeting early next
month for the purpose of consider
ing the project. The committee has
looked carefully into all phases of
the proposition and believes that it
is not only advisable, but expedient
that Savannah should have a Canton.
The matter of individual expense has
received attention, and arrangements
made by which the cost of uniforms
can be easily met by members.
The circular letter to be sent out
says:
The Patriarch Militant branch is one
of the best and most snowy organiza-
lions in the country; its uniforms are
very handsome, and it's aid in build
ing up the order is recognized where
'OA IL SAlS1S' II gives tone ana dig
nifty to the whole order, and pleas
ure to its members, and this move
ment should therefore receive the en-
enlargement and assistance of every
good and true Odd Fellow in Savan-
nah.
The committee having the matter in
charge feel confident that suitable ar
rangefnents can be made with the man.
ufacturers of Canton equipment for the
easy payments of the uniform, and
that other assistance will be forth

FUNERAL OF JOHN M. LEACY.
i. 4. 4. Society and Hundreds of
Friends Paid Tribute.

The funeral of Mr.. John NJ. Leacy.
whose death resulted from an acct
dent at Tybee last Sunday. took place
yesterday afternoon from the resi-
dence of his sister. Miss Margaret V.
Leacy, No. S14 st. Julian street. east.
The funeral was attended by the
Irish-American Friendly Society in a
body by representatives, Of the Cath
Ole knights of America. and hun
dreds of friends. The /. a. F. Society,
over 200 in number. headed by a band,
marched to the residence shortly be-
fore the time of the funeral and
viewed the remains.
Then under escort of the society the
funeral cOrtege proceeded to the Ca
thedral of ST. John the Baptist. There
the society lined up on either side of
the entrance of the church extending
from the curbing into the vestibule
and stood with heads uncovered while
the remains We're carried within, the
society following in and taking seats.
The church was filled to the doors.
Father Boyd OBLIGATED, assisted by
the church choir. His sermon was
strong and eloquent. He dwelt upon
mans richness in friendship as was
evidenced there in comparison with
the possessing of worldly goods. His
eulogy of the deceased young man was
touching, he remarking the deceased
preparation for death by having kept
up with his church duties. He com
mended the Irish-American Society
upon its large attendance showing
such marked respect to a departed
member. He also made mention of
the fact that the accident was one
which might have happened at any
time on any day, and no regrets should
be harbored because of the fact it
had happened on Sunday and under
the circumstances which existed.
After the service the society took the
same position as upon entering, out
side of the church and when the re-
mains had been replaced in the hearse
took its position in front of the cortege
and escorted it to the foot of Liberty
street where the society stood with
heads uncovered until the procession
passed. Cars were then boarded al East
Broad street and the society and band
went to the cemetery where the pro-
cession was met at the gate ard es-
corted II to the grave, the society TAX
ing position there as at the church.
Rev. Father Boyd also performed the
ceremonies at the grave. The floral
tributes were numerous and beautiful
the grave, after the ceremony, resem-
bling a floral knoll in a sea of flowers
and floral designs.
The pallbearers were Messrs John
j. Powers. F. j. McNally, NJ. j. Bar
rett, and p Buttimer from the Catholic
knights of America; j. ]. Horrigan.
John c. Ennis, Thomas Kenny. and
ID. J. Charlton from the Irsh-Ameri-
can Friendly Society, and Thomas
Kane and Joseph Gleason representing
the family. Y

Stranger Than Fiction.
ed the Treatment of StOm-
nch Troubles.

The remedy is not heralded as a
wonderful discovery nor yet a secret
patent medicine. neither is it claimed
to cure anything except dyspepsia, IN
digestion and stomach troubles. which
nine out of ten suffer.
The remedy is in the form of pleas
ant tasting tablets or lozenges, con-
tanning vegetable and fruit essences,
pure aseptic pepsin government tesO,
golden seal and diastase. The tablets
are sold by druggists under the name
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Many
interesting experiments TO test the di-
gestve power of Stuart's Tablets show
that one grain of the active principal
contained in them is sufficient to thor
oughly digest 5000 grains OF raw meat,
eggs and other wholesome food.
Studrts Tablets do not act upon The
bowels like after dinner pills and
cheap cathartics. which simply irritate
and infame the intestnes without
having any effect whatever in digesting
food or curing indigestion.
If the stomach can be rested and as
sisted in the work of digestion it will
very soon recover its normal vigor.
as no organ is so much abused and
Overworked as the stomach.
This is the secret, If there is any Sc
Cret, of the remarkable success Of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, a remedy
practically unknown a few years ago
and now the most widely known Of any
treatment for stomach weakness.
This success has been secured en-
tirely upon it's merits as a digestive
pure and simple because there can be
no stomach trouble If the food is
promptly digested.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets act en-
tirely on the food eaten, digesting it
completely, so that it can be assimilat-
ed into blood, nerve and tissue. They
cure dyspepsia, water brash, sour
stomach, gas and bloating after meals,
because they furnish the digestive
power which weak stomachs lack and
unless that lack is supplied it is use
less to attempt to cure by the use of
"toncs" pills and cathartics which
have absolutely no digestive power.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be
found at all drug stores and the regu-
lar use of one or two of them after
meals will demonstrate their merit
better than any other argument.

AN EVENT FOR STAR GAZERS.
Opposition of Mars viii Come on
Saturday Night.


Savannah star-gazers will have the
satisfaction of knowing that the most
notable astronomical event of the year,
the opposition of Mars, will take place
this week-Saturday night-even If
they cannot see it. April 1 the dis
tance of Mars will be a minimum, be-
ing then 100000 miles. The opposi-
ton is so circumstanced, however. that
astronomers will have some favorable
conditions for studying Marsian prob
lens. The northern polar cap will be
visible, and doubtless many observa-
tons will be made of it by numerous
Observers The satellites of Mars. dis
covered by Prof Hall at the Naval OBJ
servatory, probably will be beyond the
reach of that telescope in the present
position of the planet. but they may
be visible to the more powerful tele-
scopes of the Lick Observatory. Many
problems are now studied by astron-
omers with large telescopes, of which
the measurement of satellites is one.
