OrBcu 10 Attehu MeetinB 10 ne Held
by Rev. 5. H.oHadIey.
Rev. S. H. Hadley, the famous New
York slum missionary, yesterday tele-
graphed the following to a personal
friend in Savannah: "Do not fail to
extend through the press of the city
an invitation to all drinking men to
attend this meeting and especially
those who have lost all hope" 1t is
among this class of men that Rev. Mr.

his lecture tomorrow promises to be
decidedly interesting.
Mr.. Hadley is in charge of the Jerry
McAuley Mission.in New York. He will
speak at Lawton Memorial tomorrow
afternoon at 4 o'clock. Mr.. w. B.
Stubs will preside at the meeting
and it is expected that several of the

those who are commonly believed to
be without hope. Among the most
wretched poor and the most deeply
fallen, in slums and in jails, he has la
bored faithfully. The story of his own
conversion is interesting

THE NEGRO is A MAN"
Rev. w. S. Armistead VS.. Prof. Chas.
Carroll.

INCVs w. .. AfI1lSUedu VS.. 1fOls CElflSs
Carroll.
Same three years ago, as the read
ing public knows, Prof. Carroll pub
lished book entitled THE Negro Is
a Beast or in the Image of God"
In this book he goes to work and
proves, by perverting the Bible, that
the negro is a beast.
This subject has been outraged
from time to time by like argument
from different people generally
from the ungodly.) Prof. Carroll, by
his wholesale onslaught, makes all
these attempts insignificant. He says
there is no soul where there is any
other blood than Caucasian. He per-
verts the Scriptures, arrays himself
against all churches and sects, and
sets at naught the plain teaching of
the book that has been sacred in all
ages. Rev. Armistead feels it a sacred
duty to defend the Bible and refute
this outrage committed against lhe
negro. For this purpose he has had
under consideration for two years a
book with the above mentioned title,
THE Negro. Is a Man" This book
proves that the negro has like rela-
ton to God as other races of the hui
man family. 1t is a complete answer
in any way to Prof. CarrolPs Argyll
ment. This book makes a neat and
attractive volume, and is now ready
for the public. 1t is easy to see it
will meet with ready sale.

Health Omcer Brunner's Charges
Against DIR. Van Marter.
The case of Health Officer Drummer
against DR.. ]. G. Van Marter, charged
with violation of the city ordinance
against spreading untrue reports of
contagious diseases in Savannah, was
continued in Police Court yesterday
morning at DR.. Van Marter's request.
The charge, as reported in the Morn
ing News yesterday, was made against
DIR. Van Marter the night before.
Among the witnesses summoned are
Mr.. A. j. Thorpe, DR.. Brooks, United
States Marine Hospital surgeon, and
DR.. Crawford. So far as can be learned
the case is the outcome of a difference
Of opinion between physicians as to
the character of a disease. DR.. Van
Marter pronounced the disease from
which one of his patients wer suffer-
ing to be varioloid. DR.. Drummer de-
cided the disease was chickenpox. DR..
Van Marter insisted that the disease
was varioloid and told other physicians
so. AS a result, the charge of spread
ing untrue reports of contagious dis
eases was made against him.

Editor Morning News: While our
City Fathers are negotiating for a new
City Hall, it would be well for them to
see whether the present site will fur
nish a good foundation for such a
heavy building. A few years ago the
City Exchange was considered rather
unsafe and brick abutments were built
in the rear to strengthen it. There
are heavy trains of lumber and coal
passing on River street every day. and
the Earring is considerable. One prop
erty owner had to have piles driven in
the river close to the wharf for fear
of his building settling. Now while
the channel is being made deeper, it
will be some twenty-five or thirty feet
before the foundation of the building,
and it Is reasonable to see that con-
tinued jarring of trains will cause the
building either to settle or crack,
though it is fifty or seventy-five. feet
from the river. T,

ETHEL SUNK

STRUCK A SNAG IN MIDSTREAM
PUT ASHORE BY PILOT TO SAVE
PASSENGERS AND CARGO.

wrecI0ing Crew to Try and Float
Her.
The steamer Ethel. of the Southern
Transportation Companys line, is sunk
in the Savannah river near Gray's
Point. thirty-six miles this side of Au-
gusta. The passengers and crew were
taken off and the cargo is only slightly
damaged. The steamer was loaded
with fertilizer and corn.
The Ethel left Augusta at / o'clock
Thursday morning, and it was about
$3.50 o'clock Thursday morning when
she struck a snag. A hole was torn
in the stern and she filled with water
very quickly. Capt. w. B. Daniels,
who was in command. ran her bow as
far up on the sand bar as possible to
prevent her going to the bottom of the
river.
The first relief that reached the YES
gel was in the afternoon, when the
steamer D. Murchison arrived. The
Murchison went on to Augusta and,
after unloading her cargo. returned to
the Ethel. She arrived late Thursday
afternoon and transferred the passen-
gers, crew and cargo of the Ethel, and
left for Savannah. and arrived yester-
day.
Passengers Were Much Frightened.
When the seven or eight passengers
knew that the steamer had struck a
snag and was filling with water they
became almost panic-stricken. They
were assured by Capt. Daniels that
there was absolutely no danger and
that the vessel would be entirely safe
on the sand bar until relief could reach
her.
Capt. Daniels was not in the wheel
house at the time the vessel struck
the snag, but the steamer was in
charge of the colored pilot. AS soon
as the accident occurred he took
charge of the wheel and ran the boat
on the sand bar.
This is not the first time that the

She was built here, and is one of the

freight traffic, but has very comfort
able quarters for passengers.

The company's engineer and wreck
ing crew left at midnight last night
for Augusta to try to float the steamer.
They hope to be able to pump out the
water and put a temporary patch on
the hull that will last until the boat
can reach Savannah and be hauled out
on the way for repairs.
The wrecking crew will reach the
steamer tonight. If the hole is To-
Gated at once they hope to be able
to float her within a short time. If
there is trouble in locating the hole it
may take several weeks to get her
afioat.
The stern, of the vessel is sub
merged and the bow is stuck fast in
the sand bar. If the steamer is fioated

st. Louis Exposition.
The Savannah railroad passenger
men, who have been in attendance on
the meeting of the Southeastern Pas
senger Association at Palm Beach,
have returned to the city, with the ex-
ception of Mr.. w. H. Leahy, division
passenger agent of the Atlantic Coast
Line, who stopped over for a short
time at Jacksonville. The chief bust
ness done of public interest was the
acceptance of the suggestion of the
General Passenger Agents Association
relative to rates to the Louisiana Pur-
chase Exposition.
These rates, as has already been pub
lished in the Morning News, are 80
per cent. of the fare for long limits,
one and one-third fare for shorter dis
tances and one fare, plus 81, for short
distances. Coach trips will be made at
the rate of cent a mile. The South
eastern Passenger Association is the
first of the railroad associations to ac-
cept the recommendation. This news
was wired the General Passenger
Agents Association by Mr.. c. B. Ryan,
general passenger agent of the Sea-
board Air Line, from Palm Beach.

ON CHEOPS' TOMB
KALOLA is PRAISED,
Dublin Minister Put AID. on Great
Pyramid at Gixeh.

A Savannah firm of manufacturers
his achieved an advertising feat that
certainly has never been eQualled in
this part of the country and probably
by but few firms or persons in the
business world. 1t has had placed a
large sign, advertising the merits of
its product, on the great pyramid, at
Gizeh, Egypt.
The enterprising firm is the Kalola
Company and it is Kalola that is now
being advertised from the top of one
of the seven wonders of the world, the
monument built to perpetuate the
fame and shelter the mummy of one
of the greatest of the Pharaohs,
Cheops. The sign may cause some
trouble to the donkey boys and the
guides who take tourists to the pyra-
mid, but it's meaning will be very
clear to English speaking tourists, for
in bold white letters on a blue back
ground it tells them Take Kalola six
days and eat anything you want to-"
The sign was place in its
present position by Rev. M.
A. Jenkins of Dublin, Ga,
a Baptist minister who recently went
abroad to benefit his health and who
visited, among other places, Egypt.
Since returning home Mr.. Jenkins
made the statement-to friends that he
had seen the Kalola signs on the great
pyramid at Gizeh and this informa-
ton reaching the manager of the COM
pany, he wrote Mr.. Jenkins for fur
