A BLAZE OF GLORY
MARKED PAGEANTS.
Col. James B. Quinn Home from the
Big Festival at New Orleans.

Col. James B. Quinn Home from the
Big Festival at New Orleans.
Col. James B. Quinn, division chief
of United States engineers, has return
ed from New Orleans, where he has
been for the last week, attending the
Mardi Gras festivities. Col. Quinn char
acterized the festivities this year as
the most elaborate that have been held
in long time. The crowd in attend
ance was the greatest in the history of
the Mardi Gras, and yet there was
little or no trouble, and scarcely any
loss reported to the police from pick
pockets.

OF Rex, the King of the Mar1i Gras.
HE came down the river on a large
steamer, larger than any of those
Which come to Savannah. The steam
er kept on its way until it passed a
bend in the river, which hid it from
the sight of the city. Here.it was met
by number of boats, all gayly decked
out in flags and long streamers, and
headed by the boat of the United States
engineers.
The streets were one blaze of light.
The principal buildings were literally
covered with small electric lights null
ti-colored, and all lighted. Large arches
and miniature crowns, one mass of in
candescent lights, were everywhere
evident, and the stranger might easily
have believed that he had been trans
ported back to the scenes and times
of the mythical Aladdin.
ION Wednesday the city was per-
fectly quiet, and nearly all of the deco
rations were down. BY Thursday there
was nothing about the city to indi-
cate that it had just celebrated one
of the greatest of all festivals. All
over there was the air of deep solem-
nifty. From the most joyous of festivi-
ties the city had begun the most rig
orous observance of Lent. The con-
trast made the solemnity of the be-
ginning of the forty days of fasting
all the more noticeable and impress

Pneumonia in chicnro.

Over 5000 people died of pneumonia
in Chicago last year. In every case the
disease resulted from a cold. Had the
cold been promptly and properly treat
ed at the outset almost everyone would
have recovered. This statement is
abundantly proven by the fact that
among the tens of thousands through
out this country who use Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy to cure their
colds, no case of pneumonia has ever
been reported. which shows conclusive
ly that this remedy is a certain pre-
ventive of pneumonia. Chamberlain
Cough Remedy has gained it's wide
reputation and enormous sale by the
prompt and effectual cures of colds and
can always be depended upon. For
sale by all druggists.

STILLWELL A WITNESS
BEFORE COMMISSION.

Mr.. William B. Stillwen returned
home yesterday, after visit to Wash
ington, where he went as a representa-
tive of the Georgia Interstate Sawmin
Association to testify before the In
terstate Commerce Commission rela-
tive to the rates that the railroads
have recently made on lumber shipped
from this territory to points north OF
the Ohio river. and west of the Mis-
sissippi. Mr.. Stlllwell thinks it will be
thirty to sixty days before a decision
will be reached by the commission.
Mr.. Stillwell also went to Baltimore
to look into several matters. He does
not believe that the fire will have any
appreciate effect on the yellow pine
market. The great majority of the
burned buildings, he says, will be re-
placed with those of brick and granite,
while for the temporary buildings a
much cheaper grade of lumber than
Georgia pine will be used.

SUBWAY PLANS
HAVE BEEN FOUND
ATTORNEY CLAY HAS THEM.
HAVE NOT YET REACHED GEN.
ERAL MANAGER KENLY.

Director of Public Works Who VIII
the Gwinnett Street subway Is
Confident That Matter Will BE Set
tied When Mai. Kenly Receives
Phpers-City Wants subway 3S
Feet Wide Instead of 35 Feet.
Matter May Come Up at Council
Meeting.
For some reason the Gwinnett street
grade crossing plans have been slum-
bering peacefully in the office of coun-
sci for the Atlantic Coast Line and
r. Kenly.
Until the plans are finally approved
by that official nothing can be done
looking to the construction of the SUBJ
way, and the city officials are not at
all pleased. 1t had been expected to
begin work on the subway several
weeks ago, and for a week OF more
the director of public works has been
trying to ascertain just what snag was
struck by the plans.
City Attorney William Garrard has
received a communication from Mr.. w.
L. Clay, division counsel for the At
lantic Coast Line, that locates the snag
for the director of public works and
explains why General Manager Ken
ly has not acted upon the last re-
quest made by the city. The request
has not yet reached the general mana
ger, and unless he has received a grape
Nina ga he does EnnvU in OF
what the hitch is.
Wants Subway wider.
In the original agreement it was
specified that the width of the SUBJ
way should be thirty-five feet. Later
the city and the Savannah Electric
Company found that it would be de-
sirable to make the subway three feet
wider, and Col. Garrard wrote Mr..
Clay. The desire upon the part of
the city, and the street railway to
make such a change was expressed in
letter written on Jan. 80.
Mr.. Clay has now acknowledged re-
ceipt of this letter, and inquired if
the city has any other requests to make
regarding the contract. Col. Garrard
has written again, calling attention to
the contents of his letter of jan CO.
and asking that immediate attention
be given the matter. The director of
public works is confident that as soon
as the matter is brought to the at
tention of General Manager Kenly a
favorable reply will be received.
Delay in Starting Work.
Until the question of the width of
the proposed subway has been settled
nothing can be done by the director of
public works whose duty it is to ar
range for the construction of the sub
way. When the negotiations were
first commenced it was hoped to have
the subway completed before the
heavy travel to Thunderbolt begun
Because of the delay it will be impos-
sihle to finish the work as soon as was
expected.
1t is probable that at the next ses-
sion of City Council some action will
be taken concerning the subway, UNI
less before that time the Atlantic
Coast Line officials take some definite
action. Alderman w. L. Graxson
who has been fighting for the subway,
and for the removal of the coal chute
that makes the opening of Waldburg
street impossible, intends to bring both
matters to the attention of his brother
aldermen at the next meeting.

REVIVAL SERVICES
BEGUN AT TRINITY.
Rev. Lincoln Mcconnell Will Preach
First Sermon Tonight.


First Sermon Tonight.
Rev. A. M. Williams, pastor of Trim
ity Methodist Church, yesterday
preached two special sermons to large
congregations, inaugurating the revival
services at that church. The subject
of the morning sermon was The Bap-
tism of the Holy Spirit as a Prepare
ton for Work" At night the pastor
preached from the subject Five Com
mon Errors About Religion"
1.-THE first of these errors is that of
despair" he said. "God is a God of
hope, and to even the lowest of sim
ners the promise of salvation is ex-
tended. Through Christ He has pre-
pared an ample remedy for the sins
of man. No one need despair. All
can fill the conditions.
THE second mistake is that of self
forgiveness. This error is in contrast
. to the first, in that it minimizes sin
and considers it a slight affair. For
giveness can only proceed from ample
authority, and God, as the supreme
source of moral law, alone can forgive
sins.
THE third mistake is that of con-
sidering the escape from the punish
ment of sin, the all important matter
IN salvation. DellVerance from the
cause is the all important thing. Moral
cleansing is as important as legal par
don. 1t is necessary to seek a whole
salvation.
1.-THE fourth mistake is that of a
piece-meal reformation. Men become
conscious of sin, feel the need of
reformation, and make resolutions
They begin to correct certain defects
in their lives. They seek to give up
this year one evil habit, intending to
give up another next year. If we are
to be truly saved, we must be cleansed
from all unrighteousness, not from
some.
The fifth mistake is that of consid-
ering religion the act or emotion of
one moment. Religion is a life and
character. 1t is a continual exercise
of faith. God will not only cleanse us,
but He will keep US pure. There is
but one way open. If we confess our
sins, he is faithful to forgive us our
sins and to cleanse us from all I'M
righteousness"
Rev. Lincoln Mcconnell, the evange-
list who is to assist Mr.. Williams, will
arrive in Savannah to-day and conduct
the meeting tonight. Services will be
held each night at o'clock and each
afternoon at o'clock. A special
choir has been organized to conduct
the musical exercises and the singing
will be made a special feature of all
the services.
