deeds of charity were numerous and
his death is a great loss to the COM
munity, the Hebrews of Savannah. and
the congregation of the Temple Mickva
Israel.
DR.. Mendes was horn, Jan. 10, 1853
at Kingston. jamaica He was the
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Mendes,
prominent residents of his birth city.
His early education was private, his
parents securing for him the best of
tutors and preparing him for college
at home. When ready for his higher
studies he was sent to Norwich Col
lege. London, England. where he grad
uated among the leaders of his class,
with the degree of Bachelor of Arts.
Coming to this country from England
he entered the University of Georgia
and there took his Mas tiers degree. A
few years later the University confer
red upon him, for his excellent work
in the theological field, the degree of
Doctor of Divinity. In 1873 he was call
ed to Richmond, Va, where he served
as pastor of a congregation for four
years. In May 1877 he was called to
Savannah and assumed charge of the
Congregation Mickva Israel, serving
with distinction for more than a quar-
ter of a century. May 81, 1902 he cele-
brated the twenty-fifth anniversary Of
his pastorate at Mickva Israel, amidst
the congratulations of the entire con-
gregation and the Christian ministers
and prominent citizens. On that oc-
casion, Mr.. Joseph Rosenheim, pres
ident of the Congregat ton, presented
DR.. and Mrs. Mendes with the home
on Gwinnett street, in which he had
since resided.
For a number of years previous to
1902 DR.. Mendes' right eye had been
almost totally blind and in December
of that year. the retina of the left eye
parted, inducing almost total blindness.
When all hope of the restoration of his
sight had vanished, the con-
gregation elected him pastor
emeritus. in which capacity he was
serving at the time of his death, Rev.
George solomon taking his place as
pastor.
The intellectual attachments of DR..
Mendes won for him a high place in the
Hebrew literary world, and his SER
mons were of such high
and liberal character as to attract the
most favorable comment Even since
his blindness he prepared and delivered
an essay on Does 1t Benefit a Religion
to Harshly Criticise a Sister Religion. .
which was highly complimented. He
published two books, Pure Words. .
a collection of special prayers. and
First Lessons in Hebrew" Both pub
locations are scholarly works.
Or. Mendes married Miss Grace De-
Castro. a sister of Mrs. S. L. Lazaron
of this city. His wife and five chill
dren, four daughters and son, sur
vive him. They are Misses Dora S.,
Ziphrah, Alma and Joy and Joseph H.
Mendes.
The funeral will take place to-mor-
row afternoon at o'clock from the
Temple Mickva Israel. A number OF
out-of-town relatives are expected in
the morning.: Among them are Mr..
/. o. DeCastro of New Orleans. Mrs.
Mendes' uncle; Mr.. H. j. Williams Of
New York, Mrs. Mendes' brother-in-
law, and DR.. H. p. Mendes of New
York a cousin of the decea sed.

SAYS APPLICANT CAME
WITH HANDS NOT CLEAN.
Judge McAIpin Sustains Caveat ana
Scores Applicant.

The caveat filed by L. Minsky & Co.
to the homestead application of 1.
Berendt has been sustained by Judge
McAlpin in the Court of Ordinary.
The decision to that effect was hand
ed down yesterday. In his decision,
the court scores the applicant, holding
that he has not come into this court
with clean hands"
The decision calls attention to the
fact that Berendt first claimed he had
but $500 worth of stock in his store
when he went to New York to pur-
chase more goods. He first stated he
did not know the exact value of the
goods bought. nor the average amount
he took in monthly from his sales.
Later he made statements to the eff
feet that he purchased $500 worth of
goods and also estimated his monthly
sales.
Taking everything together, the court
held that the applicant has not come
into this court with clean hands, and
that further 1.-The court is not satisfied
that full and fair disclosures have been
made" The caveat is therefore suS-
tanned and the homestead refused.

This was the explanation given yes

company.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Erskine ten
dered his resignation to Mr.. w. H.
Peasants, vice president and general

Immediately following the resigna-
ton of Mr.. Erskine came the appoint
ment of Capt. George C. Savage, chief
stevedore of the docks, to the position
just made vacant.
To Mr.. Erskine the call for his res
ignation came rather Unexpectedly. as
he had received no intimation that
such a step was in contemplation.
1T would hardly be proper to say
that resigned" said Mr.. Erskine. 1T
is enough to say that my relations with
the company have been severed"
When asked IL he had anything else
in view just now Mr.. Erskine replied
that he had nothing definite,
though he did not seem in the least
worried on account of the happenings
of the last few days.
The receipt of the resignation of Mr..
Erskine was followed Immediately by
the appointment of Capt. Savage to
the place
1t was stated by Mr. NJ. NJ Stewart
that Mr.. Erskine will be offered the
place of agent of the new steamship
line which it is proposed to start this
fall between Savannah and Eastern
ports.
