ANNUAL MEETING
OF UNION SOCIETY
To BE Held Mt Bethesda Orphan
House April rs.

To BE Held Mt Bethesda Orphan
House April rs.
The annual meeting and anniversary
of the Union Society, and the ami
versary of the Bethesda Orphan House
will be held at Bethesda April %.
There is every indication that they
will be largely attended, not only be-
cause of the interest that is taken
in the excellent work of the institu-
ton, but because of the growing in
terest in the historic associations OF
the two organizations.
The Union Society has a large mem
bership, but attendance at the cere-
monies will not be limited to the mem
bers and invited guests. The grounds
will be opened to all and an invita-
ton is extended the public to
attend the ceremonies that will mark
the day. To facilitate such visits an
arrangement has been made with the
Savannah Electric Company by which
a special schedule of a car every hour
will be operated, both from the city
to Bethesda and return.
The programme of the anniversary
will consist of the reports of the sew
eral officers of the society, the cleo
ton of officers and an address, to be
delivered by Rabbi George Solomon,
pastor of Temple Mickva Israel. Ac-
cording to a -honored custom the
usual citizens dinner will be furnished
the boys by the stewards, and 1t is
probable that games will be played in
the afternoon.
The anniversary of the Union So
ciety properly falls on April %, but
will be celebrated this year on a later
date because of a bylaw which pro-
Yides that when the 23rd shall fall
on a Saturday, Sunday or Monday the
celebration shall be held the follow
ing Tuesday, except that be Memorial
Day, which is the case this year, in
which event the anniversary shall be
held two days later.
Bethesda, as is generally known,
was founded by George Whitfield in
1740 and is, therefore, the oldest or
phanage in America. Because of this
historic interest the orphanage was
visited by a large number of persons
who attended the recent celebration of
the bi-centenary of Wesley's birth,
held here last June.

With Concert by Chicago GIee Club
in LawtOn Memorial.
Before an audience that filled the
Lawton Memorial last night, and
which demanded an encore to every
number Of the programme, the Chi
cago Glee Club gave the last entertain
ment of the Savannah Lyceum Course
for this season.
The club was one of the attractions
of the series last season and at that
time made so favorable an impression
that ii was selected by the manage
ment of the course for the return en-
gagement.
The programme consisted of the US
ual collection of ditties affected by
male quartettes when making an ap-
peal to popular tastes and of a num-
Der of readings and recitations by
Miss Irene A. Skinner, who with
"Mamselle," the Small Boys Christ
mas Dinner" and several other selec-
tons, shared with the quartette the
honors they achieved in a recital of the
woes of Tom, Tom, the Pipers Som
and the feat of Peter Piper in picking
a peck of picked peppers.
Rev. Or. J. d. Jordan, pastor of the
First Baptist Church, during an inter-
mission in the programme notified the
audience of the desire of the manage
ment to continue the course next sea-
son and said it was the wish of those
interested in 1t to secure an even bet
ter class of attractions than have been
given heretofore, even though there
should be fewer in number. At the
close of his talk subscription blanks

methods.
Joseph Lovenstein represents Post A
on the Credentials Committee, and A.
W. Morehouse on the Committee on
Rules.
This afternoon THE ladies accom-
panying the delegates were taken for
drive over the city, and the long
procession of carriages attracted much
attention.
Baume Case Was Up.
The afternoon business session was
presided over by President Isaacs, and
besides the reading of the reports of
the president and secretary and treas
urer and standing committees, almost
the whole session was devoted to the
discussion of the action of the ma
tional board of directors in expelling
National Secretary L. E. Baume on
the charge of being short in his ac-
counts. National President Donham
took no part in the discussion until
urged to do so, when he explained
that L. E. Baume had been i'll for a
long time and during his absence
experts hired to go over his books
had declared a shortage of about ST.
900. Friends of L. E. Baume en-
ployed other experts, and disputed the
finding of the first, but in spite of
this, and in the absence of L. E.
Baume, he was expelled by the di-
rectors and d new secretary elected.
The Georgia division condemns the
action of the directors in expelling L..
E. Baume unheard, and committee
was appointed to express this senti-
ment in a reply to the Texas Post,
which brought the matter before the
Georgia convention.

the Y. M. C. A. team will line up
against the Pathflnders at the ball park
tomorrow, and the game will perhaps
be the hardest that the team has yet
played on the local diamond.
There are many enthusiastic fans
who believe that with this team, with
Harmon pitching, Dads bunch will be
unable to score. If they can make this
good they can take all Of Bustor Nc
Cammon's several big meat emporiums,
together with what cash he has in
hand.
LaRocque has not decided yet just
who he will put in to oppose Harmon.
Probably Johnny Welsh will be placed
on the firing line, with the regular line
up Of the team much the same as that
of yesterday.
The game will be called at 4 o'clock,

SOME FAN FOOD

exhibition game on the 10th and, as
usual Savannah lost The score was
to 2.-Augusta Chronicle. This looks
little like an excess of zeal on the
part Of the Augusta dreamer. Savan-
nah has done nothing to warrant las
usual in connection with defeat. Take
our football record
Con Strouthers has just signed Out
fielder Butler of Jackson, Tenn. But
Ter was one of the star outfielders Of
the X. 1. I. League last year.
Billy Smith and his Highlanders
could not keep up the fast pace they
set for Powell's bunch in the first
game. The Colonies have been play
ing long enough now to be in mid
season form.
Opinions of travelling men who have
seen the several teams of the South
Atlantic circuit work out have it that
so far Macon has shown up better
than any. Few of them have seen the
Pathfinders work out.
Dads drive to left field would have
been a clean homer yesterday had the
wind been favorable. Ballantyne also
had one out that way which looked
dangerous to the Pathfinders.
Webster is rapidly getting into shape,
and looks TO be very promising as
backstop. He is a left-handed hitter.
and has his eye on the ball already.
He goes down the paths like a deer.

The stewards of the Jockey Club re-

order, warning Reiff off Newmarket
