BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION
WILL CELEBRATE
For Fifty Years Organization Has
Been Dispensing Charity.

Members of the Savannah Benevolent
Association are preparing for the cele-
bration of the semi-centennial anniver-
sary, which will take place some time
in September.
The exact date has not yet been de-
termined, but the date upon which the
celebration will take place will not be
the date upon which the society was
organized.
The mode of the celebration will not
be determined until after the return to
the city of Mr.. James H. Johnston, the
president of the association. The cele-
bration will, however, take the form of
either a banquet or a smoker. 1t is
probable that the smoker will be ar
ranged for.
There is no exact date by which the
association is to be guided. 1t was or
ganized informally at the residence of
Mr. Edward Padelford. where a num-
Der of gentlemen were being entertain
ed by Mr.. Charles S. Arnold on Sun
day, Sept. 10, 1854. This was
ut the southwest corner of Liberty and
Bull streets, where the Hussars Club
now stands.
At the time of the dinner party the
conversation turned to the rumors OF
intense suffering which prevailed
among the people by reason of the hur-
ricane, which swept Savannah on Sept
of that year. Immediately an in
vestigation was started, which, two
days later, showed by the amounts
that had been subscribed, that all out
side aid was unnecessary. Over $4,000
was raised. and all of this. save 500,
was given by Savannahians.
From that day until this, the Savan-
nah Benevolent Association has been
active in relieving suffering of every
kind. An epidemic of yellow fever was
at the time raging in Savannah, and
every effort was put forth to check it.
From the very beginning the worth
of the organization was recognized.
Forty per cent. of the money contrib
uted by the public at home and aboard
was given through the association. The
city was then divided into ten wards,
and members were designated to look
after each of these.
From that day until the present time,
the association has aided the needy. No
matter what the circumstances, the
association has given n portion of it's
funds to the relief of the poor and suf-
fering. During the fifty years that the
association has been in existence, an
average of $4,000 has been given away
every year.
The date of the seim-centennial cele-
bration will have to be determined upon
by the board of directors. The presi-
dent of the association is now absent
from the city and no meeting will be
called until he and other prominent
members return home. Both a banquet
and a smoker have been discussed, but
the latter seems to meet with more
general approval.

TROPICAL STORM
SOME DAYS OFF
WARNING MEANT FOR SHIPS
LITTLE KNOWN OF INTENSITY OF
WEST INDIAN STORM.

No Immediate Danger Except for
Craft Leaving Port in DirectiO II
of Cuba-Hurrican Moving at
Moderate Pace Towards Southeast
Coast of Cubn-As No Land Points
Have Been Reached There is only
Vague Idea of Intensity of Dis
turbance.
Perhaps it will be three days before
the tropical hurricane located by the
Weather Bureau off the coast OF Do
minica Saturday reaches the Atlantic
coast. if it comes at all.
Advices received yesterday indicated
that the storm was moving at a rate
of about fifteen miles an hour, and
headed in the general direction of Sa-
vannah and the Florida coast.
AS the speed of tropical hurricanes
is liable to be accelerated or retarded
at any moment, the time of it's arrival
at any given point cannot be deter
mined with any degree of accuracy.
In fact the surest way is to wait until
barometic disturbances show that the
storm is within short distance of the
port.
SO far the hurricane has not yet
reached land and no accurate esti-
mate of its nature can be given. The
storm will probably strike the south
east coast of Cuba to-day, and some
idea of its intensity can be gathered
before it reaches the United States.
No signals are being displayed by
the local Weather Bureau. as the
storm is not imminent. The advis-
ory notices we're sent out in order thar
vessels outbound in the direction of
the storm could take warning. and
remain in port.
The following telegram was received
yesterday afternoon at the local
Weather Bureau, from Washington,
relative to the storm:
Advisory. 1850 a. IN. Tropical dis
turbanoe now south of Porto Rico and
continuing north of west course, APP
parent toward Western Porto Rico or
Eastern Santo Domingo"
Shortly after 10 o'clock last night an
other message was received from
Washington. stating that the storm
was apparently centered near the Is
land of San Domingo, and was NOV
ing northwest.
Even should the storm reach the
South Atlantic coast, there will be
abundance of time for the local bu-
reau to display the warning signs. L
is only for ships sailing towards Cuba
and Porto Rico that there is any warn
ing given.

INFINITE COMPASSION
ON TRULY PENITENT.
Rev. j. G. Anderson Spoke On
"Christ's Composition"

"Christ's Compassion"
Rev. ]. G. Anderson at the Independ-
ent Presbyterian Church, preached last
night on the subject. "Christs Com
passion on the Truly Penitent."
MIR. Anderson took as his text, "a
bruised reed shall he not break, and
smoking fax shall he not quench, till
he send forth judgment unto victory"
Jesus has the tenderest regard for
the feeblest penitent and especially for
those who are Respondent" said Mr..
Anderson. This, he said, was illustrat-
ed by the fact that Jesus often repre-
scented Himself as a shepherd. keeping
watch over the sheep and always anx-
ious for their welfare. The parable of
the lost sheep was pointed out as show
ing the compassionate spirit of Christ.
Then, too, the spirit of Christ is that
of a father" said Mr.. Anderson. To
Illustrate this point. the parable of the
Prodgal Son was told.
Christ is ever ready" said Mr.. An
derson, ito nourish and cherish the
least spark of true and genuine piety."
This, he thought, accounted for the in
finite compassion of Christ.
