"THE WORTH OF MAN,
DR.. JOHN P. d. JOHNS THEME
Lecturer Reviewed Man in Different Stages of
Life and Told Of Good or Evil He Can Do.

"The Worth of a Man" was the sub
ject of a lecture delivered at the Law

P. d. John. In spite of the announce

Whether man is to be accounted
great or Insignificant depends on
whether we view him as one moving,
or as one moved; as one limiting or as
one limited" said DIR. John. "A man
limited by the universe is an insignifi-
cant being. Limited by space and
duration he is a speck on the face of
the universe. The scope of his horizon
is nothing when measured by the vast
ness of space, and the short period OF
his life is insignificant in comparison
with the eternities. Limited by law
he is as helpless as the beast of the

V"nnah for sS Years.
Frosts have occurred in Savannah as
late as April 5, one occurring on that
cate in 1891. This was a killing frost
though the average date for the Ia 81
killing frost is Feb. 26. There is thus
the possibility of the city being visit
60 with frost even after Easter. The
IoiioWlng is the record of April as
lnaue up from the Weather Bureau rec
oroS Tor the last thirty-three wears.
The normal temperature of the month
mas been 66 degrees. The warmest

age of 81 degrees, The highest tenn
perature ever reached on an April dav
was 80 degrees on April 21 and %. 1896
1881. A @Npin .
Though April is known in song and
story ana proverb as "the showery
month, on the average there has onIv
been eight days out of the thirty which
were marked by a rainfall of .01 of an
men or more. The average rainfall for
the month is 1928 inches. The heav-
lest rainfall for April was s so inches

Master i'm Chancery Fixed Amounts
Due Different Parties.
With the clerk Of the United States
court yesterday Mr.. George w. Owens,
the standing master in chancery, filed
his report in the case of John S. Bar
stow and others against Isaiah Beckett
and others.
Under a recent decision Of Judge
Speer the Barstow heirs were subro-
gated to the rights of Mrs. Goerz
against her warrantors. their liability
to her being the amount paid by her
to them, with interest from the day of
payment. The following is the conclu-
sion of the masters report:
To the Postell syndicate, consisting
of Messrs. Postell Harrison, Dillon,
Starr and Fuchs, the sum Of s942.52 Is
awarded. To Mrs. Adell Goerz the
amount due is fixed at $4,1S2.14 and ST.
4S4.54 is the amount held to be due
Mrs. Birch 1t Is further held that
when the complainants have paid Mrs
Goerz the above amount, they should
have judgment against her warrantors,
Messrs. Beckett, Starr, Dorsett, Gles-
son and Stone. in the sum Of of S4,-
733.47

computation of the interest, accounts.

WILL LEONARD GET
HIS MONEY BACK?
Matter VIII Probably BE Determine
ed BY Council Tonight.

Matter VIII Probably BE Determfn-
ed BY Council Tonight.
If the aldermen are to return to s.
S. Leonard. the $500 forfeited for
failure to give bond TO put up the New
City Hall, or any portion OF the sum
involved, the matter will probably
come up at the Council meeting to-
night.
1t is practically certain that Con-
tractor Leonard will not get all OF his
money back, and it is doubtful IL any
Of 1t Is returned. Some of the officials
don't hesitate to say that none Of it
should be given back.
The city viii certainly hold the
amount of the difference between
Leonard's bid and the bid accepted
from the Savannah Contracting Com
pany. Some of the officials think he
should be charged for the delay caused
by having to advertise for new bids
also. All additional expense that the
city had to bear by reason Of his fall
ure to give bond will be held out OF
the $500. If any Of it is returned.
The money has now gone into the
general fund of the city and could not
be given back, except by special reso-
luton of Council. If the matter is not
taken up tonight. the probabilities are
that the entire amount Will be held by
the city. 1t seems likely that this win
be the outcome.

the remotest antiquity of all nations.
Scripture makes the spring festival of
the Jews the time of Israel's redemp-
