The April meeting of the Savannah

acy was largely attended yesterday
afternoon. About sixty-three members
were present and many interesting
matters were discussed, the commit

etc, has been arranged afterwards.
The next historical and social meet
ing of the chapter, it was announced,
will be held at Veterans Hail. April is

meeting, that of May, will be held
before the chapter disbands for the
summer.
An interesting gift was presented by
Mrs. F. P. Salas, the coat of Eugene
Blois, worn during his service with the
Confederate Army.
He served under William S. Basin
ger, major commanding the Eighteenth
Georgia Battalion, and Capt. G. C.
Rice, and was wounded and captured
at Sailors Creek, Va, April g. 1865
dying in Washington the following
month. Miss Maria Henderson pre-
scented a case in which the coat might
be kept. Miss Henderson spoke of some
unmarked graves at the Isle of Hope
of soldiers who served under Mai.
Bonaud and Capt. John Guerard.
The Memorial Committee will see that
the graves are marked.
A vote of thanks was offered to
Mrs. OMeara, who first discovered
the unmarked graves in Cathedral
Cemetery three years ago, and who
has since, until the erection of the
monument unveiled on St. Patrick's
Day, taken care of them. The chapter
decided that the $24 collected from the
sale of tickets on the occasion of the
