BUT ONE MORE SUNDAY
FOR WOMEN IN CHOIRS
Order of Pope Plus Will Take Eject
Here on Christmas.

Order of Pope Plus Will Take Eject
Here on Christmas.
Next Sunday will be the last Sun
day on which women singers will be
found in the Catholic choirs of this
diocese, with probably some very few
exceptions.
The beginning of having all music
rendered by male voices will COM
mence in the Cathedral with the
elaborate Christmas services. The
director of the music at the Cathe-
dral has worked hard in training his
male choir and now has them to such
point he is confident the music will
be excellently rendered. The other
churches of the diocese will follow
closely in the path Of the Cathedral
The order of Pope Piux x debar-
ring women singers from the Cath
Ole choirs' was published in the Morn
ing News some time ago. At that
time it occasioned considerab BILE COM
ment. The grounds on which the
women were barred by the head of
the church was that the laws of the
church provided for only the Gre
gorian chants, compositions for male
voices, and that figured music was de-
barred. Other reasons were advanced,
but these were the principal ones.
In many of the dioceses the order
was at once complied with. Smaller
dioceses, and dioceses which had
within their borders small churches,
could not do so at once, and the time
before which the order was to take
effect was extended. At the Cathedral,
as stated above, the Gregorian music
will be introduced at Christmas
Some of the most famous chants of
the church are found among these Sc
lections and lovers Of music are as
sured of an excellent rendition of the
most noted sacred compositions ever
written

REPORTED SHOOTING ON
HUTCHINS0N'S ISLAND.
Varying Stories of Affair Told by
Waterman at S. A. l.. Terminals.

Varying Stories of Affair Told by
Waterman at $. A. l.. Terminals.
According to statements made by a
Waterman at Pier No. 1 of the Sea-
board Air Line terminals on Hutchin-
sons Island, difficulty took place there
yesterday between a young man, whose
name he did not know, and a negro
woman on one of the boats locked
there. He did not learn the particu-
lars, but was told that the young man
was acting as Waterman. He said
no one was shot. and so far as he
could learn no shots were fired.
According to statement made in
the presence of a Morning News re-
porter by a young man who was hav-
ing his lip cauterized by DR.. Baker
at Pigman's Pharmacy last night, the
fight was between this young man,
who claimed to be Waterman at the
pier and some negro men.
He stated that number of negroes
were shooting craps. and when he or
dered them to- stop, they refused. He
then kicked the dice into the grass,
and one of the negroes knocked him
down with a rosin barrel stave. He
said another negro sprang on him and
fastened his teeth in his upper lip,
whereupon he reached into his hip
pocket, got hold of his pistol and shot
the negro in the stomach.
The young man refused to give his
name, saying that Mr.. Mills, the man
who employed him, would not like 1t.
He did not know just how badly the
negro was hurt, as he Immediately
came to the city. No report of the al
legged ARRAY was made at police head
quarters.

GUARDS TO HOLD AN
IMPORTANT MEETING.
Will Revise bylaws and Create
New Offices Tonight.

Will Revise bylaws and Create
New Offices Tonight.
At the regular meeting of the Sa-
vannah Volunteer Guards tonight the
organization, with provision for the
government of the club. will be per-
fected and the bylaws governing the
Guards will be revised.
Since the Guards took over the club it
has been run by committees, there be-
ing no provision in the bylaws for a
club. To change the bylaws it was
necessary to give notice of a month,
and it was for this reason the matter
was delayed
The meeting will be one OF the most
important to be held by the Guards
in some time and Maj. William B.
Stephens requests that all classes of
members be present. Besides the re-
vision of the bylaws important cleo
tons will be held.
Probably the most important matter
will be the election of board of di-
rectors. This will be an entirely new
| feature of the organization. The di-
rectors will have absolute control of
all property and of all financial mat
| ters
The board will also serve in an ad-
visory capacity to the board of gov
ernors of the club and to the board
of military officers. Until the bylaws
creating this board are adopted the
exact number that will be elected can
not be stated with certainty, but it
| is thought it will consist of fifteen or
twenty-five members. Only business
men of recognized financial ability will
| be placed on the board of directors,
as the financing of the organization
with its new features will be entirely
with the board and will require good
management
| board of governors for the club
is also to be elected. This board will
probably consist of twelve members.
All classes of members are to have
representation on the board, so that
all will have voice in the manage
ment.
In addition to the election of these
two boards a number of standing COM
mittees will be created and filled,
either being elected or appointed, as
is decided when the bylaws are
| adopted. Committees for the club, the
athletic features and all branches of
the organization will be selected.

REV. BASCOM ANTHONY
PREACHED TWO SERMONS.

Rev. Bascom Anthony, a former
pastor of Trinity Methodist Church,
preached two sermons in Savannah
yesterday. In the morning he filled
the pulpit of Rev. o. B. Chester at
Wesley Monumental Church, and at
night he preached at his old charge
Trinity Church.
Both sermons were strong and
practical and marked by the eloquence
and Observation-Disclosures that has al
ways characterized the sermons of
Rev. Mr.. Anthony. There was no
criticism of Savannah or modern con-
ditions. both sermons being simply an
earnest plea for a more complete
and general adoption of the great
principles of Christianity.

THE SINGER AT THE
EXPOSITION.

The name of SINGER stands
for ''family sewing machine in every
known language. The familiar sign
with its brilliant carmine ssS is found
in every city in the world, and no prod
uct of American skill is better known,
or has wider vogue.
The fact that Singer machines
are "Inade for every stitching pro-
cess" used in manufactures is not so
well known and most visitors to the
Exposition viii be greatly interested
in the exhibit to be made by THE
SINGER MANUFACTURING COM
PANY.
There will be two Singer pavil-
ions, one in the Manufactures Building,
from the American factories, and one
in the Varied Industries Building,
from the British factory.
Here one may see the practical
manufacture of Corsets, Muslin Un-
derwear, Shoes, Mems Wear, etc., by
operatives from leading establish
ments in these Industries There will
be machines for stitching the heaviest
rubber and leather betting, for making
a dozen dainty tucks at once, for
Gil III OuNIOAAor hOOho
and eyelets, for sewing sails, for
stitching kid gloves and furs, in short,
for everything that can, or might
be stitched.
There are eighty, or more dis
tinct types of Singer sewing machines
for manufacturing purposes, and these
types are adapted to many hundred
varieties for thousand or more spe-
cial uses, all interesting and educa-
tional to the great majority of people.
The display of Art Needlework,
for which the Singer Company has
long been noted, will excel anything
previously shown; and the various
types of sewing for family
use viii include some new designs
recently perfected and about to be
placed on the market.

THE COAL is
ABOUT RUN OUT
Ii Is Believed Port Arthur's Supply
Is Exhausted.
MUCH FUEL BURNED.
Water Condensing Plant In Constant
OperatiOn--.As This Shuts Down
Contents Of Impure Wells
to BE Utilized.

Tsingtau. Sept. 23.-Several colliers
have arrived here within the last ten
days. 1t is believed their cargoes are
intended for Port Arthur. The British
collier Foxton Hall has transferred her
cargo of Cardiff coal to the German
steamer Ericka, which the local au-
thorities will not allow to leave until
given assurance that no attempt will
be made to enter Port Arthur harbor.
The Ericka sailed at daylight and ia
pan is given as her destination, but 1t
is believed she will ultimately mike
for Port Arthur. where the Russians
are offering stupenduous inducements
for the delivery Of coal.
S. Davidson. an American merchant
who had Russian coal contract and
was ordered to leave Port Arthur Feb.
Is last, is now at Tsingtau. He tells
an Associated Press correspondent
that when he left there was less than
10000 tons OF coal on hand. On ac-
count of Russian warships having
been on-pelled to keep up full steam
day and night for nearly eight months
and the enormous quantity of fuel re-
quired for the water condesing plant
there must be a coal famine there now
unless more coal has arrived. The
Japanese have since cut off the water
supply and the garrison has to depend
entirely upon the condenser. II a coal
famine prevails the town must be
getting impure water from wells. The
water has to be served to the sick and
wounded iceless. e..
Admiral Metozvitch has recovered
sufficiently to leave the hospital and
other wounded Russians here are con-
valescing. A majority of the officers
of the Russian battleship Czarevitch
and three torpedo boat destroyers dis
mantled here left their ships and are
living at hotels

designation of Governor Odell as the
Republican nominee.
Former Senator David B. Hill pre-
scented to the convention the name OF
Supreme Court Justice Herrick Of Al
bany. Judge Herrick's name was re-
ceived with great applause and in
dorsed with cordial support by the rep
resentatives of three elements. Inciden-
tally Senator Hill was accorded a re-
ception which was little less than an
ovation.
The platford includes a direct attack
upon Governor Odell az well as a de-
nunclation of the Republican admin
istration, an Endorsement of the DEM
ocratic national ticket. Among other
things the resolution says:
For the first time in its history the
Empire state has a governor whose
principal integrity is under widespread
suspicion. He has surrounded himself
by high officials and advisers under
whose malign influence the public reve-
nues of the state are largely diverted to
private profit. Instead of being OPP
posed to extravaganza the administra-
ton has become the actual promoter of
adroit schemes to loot the public treas
ury and in the guise of law. The ex-
ample set in these affairs extends 70
counties, cities, towns and villages I'M
der Republican machine control. Thus
the corruption of party too long con-
tinued in power threatens to lower the
Empire state to the level of Republican
principles where the tax payers. sx-
cluded from their income and earnings.
are transferred by political chicanery
TO the pockets of a ring of politicians.

gains to perpetuate the political ma
chine that supports them"
