From the New York Times.
Mrs. Margaret Neve, who died at Guern-
sev. England, a few weeks ago at the age
of 10 years, probably is TO be noted as
having lived longer than any other per
son I'm modern times. In the matter OF
long living she was entirely original ana
pecular. Although men of science have
failed TO discover the methods by which
people may exceed the span allotted by
the Psalmist, still the disheartened mem-
hers Of the One Hundred Years Club have
found that there are certain conditions
common to those who live longer chan
century. Thus. most centenarians are very
moor. the longest lived being paupers TN
almshouses. Also they are, IL not actually
uliterate. at least of defective education.
A third point Is the absence OF convincing
proofs OF their great age. Mrs. Neve'
however. was rich from birth and highly
educated. She had the further distinction
of being the only person known 20 have
indubltable documentary evidence of ll'
years Of life. So invariable has been th'
lack Of such proofs in the cases investigat
ed by scientists that the late Sir Georg'
Lewis affirmed that no person, or hardly
any person, ever lived for more than 10
years and few months.

A MOIST SUNDAY
AT ISLE OF HOPE.

Visitors, However, Had Pleasant
Afternoon In Spite of weather.
1t always seems a pity when a rainy
Sunday comes around, for it is the day
anticipated by thousands who labor
six days in the week, and have one
day for recreation and rest Yesterday
was one of the disagreeable Sundays
and very naturally the resorts in the
neighborhood of Savannah were not
as gay as is their wont. The rain that
came about dinner time headed off the
early excursionists almost altogether,
but later quite a number of people
ventured out. even with clouds hover
ing low and dark over the city.
All the Isle of Hope Manager Barbee
had made preparations for a large
crowd and was ready to serve the pa
irons who braved the weather. The
pavilion was found to be a comforta-
BILE place. even during the rain, and
when 1t finally cleared the "shoot the
chutes" again became popular.
The popularity of the Isle of Hope
as resort is increasing every day
and ii is said that the residents are
enjoying every hour of the summer,
and that many people who would be
glad to secure board cannot find ac-
commodations.

CENTRAL'S BESTYEAR
EARNINGS FOR IL MONTHS ENDING
JUNE 30 OVER $9,OOO,OOO.
INCREASE OF S1,4o1,ooo
OVER EARNINGS OF YEAR BEFORE
AND ON SAME AMOUNT MILEAGE.

The showing the Best Made Since
Reorganization of PrOperty-MOst
Snnguine Forecast Was Only for
Increase of $1,000, OOO-Incrense
Attributed to Fine Condition
Physical Property and Good Man
agement-Net Earnings May BE
Announced by Directors To-day.
Quarterly Meeting Directors of
Central and of o. ). s. Co. to Take
Place To-day.
The best year in the history of the
Central of Georgia since its reorgan-
ization, so far as gross earnings are
concerned, was that which ended June
80. The gross earnings for the year
ending on that date were more than
$4,000, 000 an increase of 81, 40l,000 over
the preceding year.
This showing exceeds even the most
sanguine expectations, for though even
so far back as January it was known
that the year was going to be an eX-
ceptionally good one, so far as earn
ings were concerned, the excess over
the preceding year was never estimat-
ed higher than $780, 900. AS the in
crease has been secured with the same
amount of mileage in use during the
year before it can be seen how ex-
cellent is the showing made.
A quarterly meeting of the direc-
tors of the Central will be held this
morning at 10 o'clock in the directors
room of the Citizens Bank branch. 1t
is probable that the above figures will
be given out at this meeting and may
be the net earnings and other details
of the year, though this is hardly
probable because of the short time
that has elapsed since the close of
the fiscal year.
The authority for the figures quoted
attributes the large increase in earn
ings to the fine physical condition of
the property, the cOnserVa tive yet en-
terprising management, and the de-
veloping and fostering of local indus
tries along its line. This in addition to
to the increase of business due to the
general prosperity of the country.
In addition to the meeting of the
CentraPs directors a meeting of the di-
rectorS of the Ocean Steamship Com
pany also will be held, this to take
place in the afternoon, probably at A
o'clock. So far as can be learned on
ly routine business will be brought be-
fore this meeting. Maj. j. F. Hanson,
chairman of, the directors of the Cen
trail, and president of the Ocean
Steamship Company, is expected to
reach Savannah this morning, at which
time the other out-of-town directors
will also arrive.

TALK TO YOUNG MEN
BY HON. J. r. SAUSSY.
Was Made in Grace Church Last
Last Night.

was m0Qe In trace Onurcn Last
Last Night.
Before an interested audience in
Grace Methodist Church last night
Hon. j. r. Saussy delivered an inter-
esting and instructive address to
young men. Mr.. Saussy had been re-
quested to do this by the pastor of
the church, and in his Introductory
remarks told of his great affection for
young people and his desire always to
help them in every way to become
good and honorable citizens; useful
upright and a credit to their home and
people.
Mr. Saussy told the young men that
above other things he would have them
possess a high sense of honor and the
courage of their convictions He urged,
them to be liberal and generous; with
out aVarice and with tolerance and al
ways have the pluck to do what is
right. There is no hereditary or other
influences to bar the young man from
progress in this country, he said, and
it is within the power of every young
man to forge to the front if he has
the proper spirit and energy. Loyalty
to true friends, truthfulness and dis
cretion are cardinal points, and the ac-
acknowledgement of Christ as the Saviour
is all important. In the hurry and
rush of the business or professional
life the speaker begged the young men
to remember the teaching of their
youth and to foreget not father and
mother.
This is the young mans age, said Mr..
Saussy Much is now put upon him
that formerly was left to older heads
and stronger shoulders. Individuality
should be preserved throughout, if sue
cess be desired. In the young mans
position in matters of politics he should
be Independent and while activity is
necessary, if the conditions are not to
be turned over to the INSCRIPTIONS,
there should be no cringing to the whip
of the BOSSES. but a strong favoring,
with voice and vote, of the best and
cleanest men and measures.
In church work Mr.. Saussy showed
how the forces of young people were
being combined in various denomina-
| tons. He alluded to the Catholic
Knights of America and the knights of
Columbus and their work among the
young men of the Catholic Church, to
the Brotherhood of ST. Andrew, of the
Episcopal Church, of the B. Up. u,
| and the Epworth League and the
| Christian Endeavor societies. All of
| these organizations are working among
the younger members of the churches
! and find it profitable field. He urged
| the young men of Grace Church and
| those others who were present, to mark
| we'll his words, and advised them that
| they were not doing their whole duty if
! they were not regularly enlisted in the
| ranks of the workers for the church.

ONE DOLPHIN FINISHED.
Work on One at Venus Point TO
Start To-day.

Start To-day.
Work of construction on the Venus
Point mooring dolphin will be COM
menced to-day. the dolphin at the
blight having just been completed. The
work is being eagerly watched by the
merchantmen and other ea-going
people, who are awaiting the time
when the dolphins will be put into
service.
With the exception of few fender
piles and minor details, the one at the
blight is completed. The past week has
been spent in laying out the larger of
the two dolphins, and the work of con-
struction will now be pushed so that
it may be completed by Oct. 1.
The work is being done by Egan,
Smith & Co, of Jacksonville, and is
being superintendent by r. NJ. Coburn,
as inspector in charge. Some delay has
been occasloned by the lack of piling,
but this piling has now arrived. The
work was commenced in February, and
Will be completed some time in Octo-
Der. The dolphin at Venus Point will
be nearly half a mile long, while that
at the blight will be more than a quar-
ter of a mile in length.
The work has been from time to time
inspected by Col James B. Quinn, u.
S. engineer, who has pronounced it
satisfactory.

MOVING EL0QUENCE.

The old negro was bent with the bur
den of more than ninety years and his
head was white with a scant growth
that seemed almost like cotton, but
his eyes were bright and his step al
most buoyant as he made his way to
one of the largest and handsomest of
Savannah's many beautiful churches
yesterday morning. At the door he
was shown the way to the left gall
lery and during the early portions of
the service drew some attention by his
fervent Amen" delivered at some
what unexpected periods.
He is only an old friend of ours
from Kentucky" explained the pastor.

is 81 years old, and when he became

the religion was the moving kind.
where the brethren would take an ac-
tive part by adding words of encour-
agement and Endorsement without re-
gard to intervals. But l trust he will
endeavor to contain himself during the
service"
Then the service proceeded and as
the minister, enthused with his mes
sage of divine love and hope and prom
Use, his voice rising and falling with
the measured periods and working UP
to brilliant climax, some few in the
church noticed the old negro.
Impressed by the pastors suggestion
at first he had kept well back in his
seat, but as the speaker drew towards
his conclusion the old mans eyes took
on new lustre. 1t was a test more
than his simple brain could stand. and
as the speaker began his final SEN
tence the old man slowly got upon his
feet and, leaning far forward as
though reaching out to grasp the
preachers words, said in a loud and
happy voice:

Additional Land Secured for New

AS stated in the Morning News yes
terday the state Legislature has pass
ed the bill requested by the city of Sa-
Vannah blowing the city the privilege
of extending the new City Hall about
fifteen feet on each side of the ground
space occupied by the present City Ex-
change. This was of course largely
matt r of form, but it was deemed best
10 have the matter perfectly regular
and to comply with every detail re-

The securing of this land by act of
Legislature naturally brings out the
Hall are being pushed to completion
and may be submitted entire, for the
discussion and approval of the special
committee at an early day.
The special committee has already
seen and discussed the ground plans,
submitted by Mr.. II. w. Witcover and
such changes as were deemed advisable
were asked for. The intention of the
committee is that the new city building
shall not only provide for the officers
of the city government under present
conditions, but be suitable, commodious
and useful for the administrations to
come for many years in the future,
anticipating the steady forward move
ment that has been noted In Savannah
for many years past.

SOLIDIFIED SYRUP
FROM NICARAGUA
DIR. G. l.. Spencer to Retire from
Department of Agriculture

DIR. G. l.. Spencer to Retire from
Department of Agriculture
A sample of concrete. a condensed
form Of syrup, was received by Capt.
D. G. Purse yesterday from DR.. G. L.
Spencer, chief of the Sugar Labora-
tory, Department of Agriculture. The
material came from Nicaragua, where
for six months of the year DR.. Spencer
is in charge of a large sugar planta-
ton owned by English capitalists.
Concrete looks much like maple SUI
gar, except that it is darker. The adj
vantages claimed for it over the liquid
form of syrup is that fermentation
is obviated; that 1t is not affected by
exposure to the atmosphere, will not
sour. and, because of its lessened bulk
is cheaper to ship, and on account
of its form can be packed in cases
that are materially cheaper than bar
relS.
DR.. Spencer, 1t will be remembered,
was much interested in the establish
ing of the syrup experiment stations
in Georgia and at the time of his visit
to this state advocated the manu-
facture of concrete instead of liquid
syrup, and explained it's advantages
to many of the syrup makers of South
west Georgia.
Another visit to this state will be
paid by DIR. Spencer this fall when
it is probable he will again call at
tention to this matter. This visit, by
the way, will be the last in his pres
ent official capacity, for it is. his in
tention to sever his connection with
the government as the active head OF
the Sugar Laboratory in order to take
charge of an immense sugar planta-
ton in Cuba.

BIamed by Father of the Boy.
While playing on the running board
of a Habersham street car, Thomas
Daniels. the 312-year-old son OF w. L.
Daniels. Jr was thrown beneath the
wheels of the car, and had his right
foot fearfulIy crushed at 12:15 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. He was taken to
St. Joseph's Hospital, where it be-
came necessary TO amputate the limb
at the ankle.
The horrible accident was witnessed
by the father and a brother of the
little fellow. who, standing on their
front porch, were powerless to avert
1t. The crew of the car were not aware
of the child's presence on the running
board until after the accident had hap
pened.
The little boy was gathering grass
for his rabbits in the square on Hab-
ersham street, between Wayne and
Gordon streets, when the car, COM
ing south, stopped at Wayne street in
order to let a passenger off. While it
was at a standstill the little fellow
unmindful of the danger that lurked
around the running board, clambered
upon it, When the car started he
either attempted to jump off, or was
thrown off.
He fell under the running board, the
rear wheels of the car passing over his
right foot at the instep. The motor
man and conductor neither having per
ceived the accident, proceeded some
distance before coming to standstill.

the ankle. The child is resting we'll,
and no serious results are apprehended.
The crew of the car. Motorman w.
A. Langdale and +. II. Conner were
arrested. but were released under $500
bond. They disclaim any liability for
the accident, saying that the child
climbed on the car on which the railing
is, and on which no passengers are re-
ceived or deposited. and that his pres
ence was not known to them. The
conductor claims that he was engaged
in his duty in letting a passenger of,

climbed on the running board on the
opposite side.
The father of the child maintains
that the crew were to blame for the
accident. The matter will be investi-
gated at a preliminary hearing before
the recorder.
