MORE LIBERALITY IN ADJUSTMENTS

A dispatch from Los Angeles says
that the indications are that the Meth
odist General Conference, in session
ban on dancing, card playing and the
alter going. A subcommittee of the
Committee on the State of the Church
has reported a resolution urging a
radical change in the church rule on
the subject, making it simply an adj
visory restriction instead of manda-
tory prohibition. as at present.
The churches have been growing
more liberal in respect to these
amusements in recent years, because,
forcing the rule. The young members
of churches-at least a very large per-
centage of them-do not feel that it is
wrong to play cards or dance, or attend
the theater under certain conditions.
The playing of cards for money is
wrong, and there are circumstances
when dancing and theater-going are
harmful. but 1t is easy to draw the line
between that which is sinful and that
which is innocent in these amusements.
In the current number of Every
body's Magazine there is a symposium
on Christianity and Amusements" to
which representative men in eight de-
nominations contribute. Cardinal Glib
bons takes the position that dancing,
card-playing and theater-going are in
nocent in themselves, but that they
may have such associations as to pro-
duce evil results. DR.. Raymond of
the Methodist Church, North, says
there is place for diversions in the
scheme of a sound religious life" In
fact, he is of the opinion that a reli-
gious life is likely to be saner, stronger,
and richer because OF wholesome
amusements. DR.. Parkhurst takes
about the same view. But those
quoted, and all the other writer's of ar.
ticles in the symposium, make it very
clear that they do not approve of card
playing for gain. of dancing that is in
the least suggestive of improperly. or

Extraordinary Arrangements 70
Travellers to California.

BY reason of special arrangements
which have been perfected it is practi-
cally conceded in many quarters that
to and from California either one or
both ways via "The Denver Road"
will be the choice of those attend
ing both the Triennial Conclave of the
nights-Templar and the Sovereign
Grand Lodge L. o. o. F. to be held in
San Francisco during September and
en- account of which round-trip tickets
will be on sale August 18th to Septem-
Der 10Th, inclusive, at rates of S45 90
from nearly all points in Texas and the
Southwest.
The chioce of the route mentioned
for these trips is largely attributable to
the fact that it is the only line reach
ing that territory from Texas directly
through Panoramic New Mexico, and
Cool Colorado" passing enroute and
allowing stop-overs at any of the num-
erous magnificent and popular priced
resorts of the northwest. including
those of such points as Denver (for
Boulder), Colorado Springs, Pueblo and
Trinidad, Colorado, 1t is understood
that tickets for this occasion may be
secured to go via one route and return
another, and in view of the superior
attractiveness of the routes via the
Colorado tourist gateways, it may be
fair to presume that approximately
ninety per cent of those living in the
southwest will traverse the rails of the
"Denver Road" through the great and
fast developing panhandle of Texas
in at least one direction.

want County ChainganE to DO More
Drainage Work.
Tybee is beginning to take on new
life as the summer season approaches,
and number of the cottages are being
remodled and several are being built.
Messrs. Cooper Myers and II. p.
Smart are building new cottages, and
will have the work completed before
the season opens. The hotels will be
opened May Is, and the proprietors are
looking forward to a more prosperous
season than they had last year.
The citizens have forwarded a petit
ton to the County Commissioners,
urging that the county convicts be sent
to Tybee at once in order that the
drainage may be improved. Mayor
John O.. Butler says the convicts did
good work last year. and the people OF
Tybee are exceedingly anxious to have
the commissioners send them down
again. He says that a perfect drain
age system is the only way to keep off
the mosquitoes. Mayor Butler says
the system of using oil to kill out the
insects has not been satisfactory, and
the only way to keep the mosquitoes
down is TO keep all the standing water
drained off.
The citizens Of Tybee will elect town
officers Monday, April 4. There is only
one ticket in the field which will be
elected without opposition. The nomi-
nees are as follows; Mayor, John @.
Butler; Board of Aldermen, Henry
Blum, Henry Solomon, r.. p. Lowell,

A committee from the Chamber of
Commerce has been invited to visit
Chicago and present the claims of Sa
vannah for the packing house which
Swift Co. contemplate erecting some-
where on the Atlantic coast. The in
vitation was extended by Mr.. Arthur
B. Higbie to Secretary Donlan.
The matter will probably be brought
to the attention OF the Chamber Of
Commerce at the next meeting
when some action will be taxi
en-. Mr.. Higbie, while in Sa-
yannah, read a letter to Secretary
message from Mr.. Swift, authorizing
him to look over the field while in Sa-
vannah, with the view OF establishing
a branch packing house here.
Mr.. Higbie promised several mem
bers of the Chamber of Commerce that
he would present a report favorable to
Savannah. He is an enthusiastic ad-
mirer of the city, and declared he would
like very much to make his permanent
home here. It is understood, that
should the Swifts decide to establish
the branch packing house in Savannah,
Mr.. Higbie will be sent here to man
age the plant. He is a very near rel
ative of Mrs. Swift, and would no
doubt have much influence in deter
mining where the plant is , to be
erected.
The fact that a committee from the
Chamber of Commerce has been ex-
tended an invitation TO visit Chicago
would indicate that Savannah stands
an excellent chance Of securing the
plant. Mr. Hiabie says work viii be
begun on the plant during the coming

apprenticeship with Capt. Smith on
the John r. Wilder. After four years
he was made a nine and one-half foot
branch pilot. A year and a half later
he was given twelve-foot branch and
after another eighteen months four
teen-foot branch, advancing two feet
every eighteen months until 1859, when
he became a full branch pilot. During
his more than half a century of serv-
ice he has never had a vessel ashore
or been in an accident for which he
was in any way responsible.
Capt. Spencer was born in Savannah
June 80, 1884, and in his long service
in the pilotage has had many expe-
riences. During his earlier years he
was on the pilot boats Savannah, Cum
nlings, Lamar and later on the Wilder
and Neca, and now on the j. H. Estill.
At the outbreak of the Civil War he
was in Philadelphia on the steamship
State of Georgia. He returned at once
to Savannah, and for three years was
in the Engineer Corps under command
Of Maj. McCready. He assisted in put
ting down the distractions and tor
ped0eS in the Savannah and Ogeechee
rivers to keep off the enemys fleet.
He made one trip to Nassau on the
sloop Rebecca Hertz, and while there
was stricken with the yellow fever.
lie returned nome on the steamer Eli
la, Capt. Barclay. The Ella succeeded
in running the blockade off Whining
ton, and after successfully passing
fourteen blockaders went ashore on
Bald Head beach. The next morning
the blockaders opened fire on her. The
first shot went through her hull and
in a short time she was literally shot to
pieces. Capt. Spencer, who was the
cnly passenger, left the vessel with
the purser before she was fired on and
made his way on foot to Wilmington,
and came to Savannah by rail. He
was weak from his illness and from
the exhaustion of the trip, and was
carried from the depot to his home in
a wagon. A short time afterward Sher-
mans army entered the city.
After the war Capt. Spencer was
pilot of the steamer San Jacinto of
the Empire Line between Savannah
and New York for four years, and
later ran for a short time on the ORR
entail between Savannah and Boston.
He was also at one time master of
the tugs Constitution and Republic.
Since then he has been actively en-
gagged in the pilotage, and although 70
years of age few men are more active
in their calling. Despite the many
trying experiences he has had and the
hardships of pilots life, Capt. Spen-
Ger is ready at all times to under
take any duty which in his advanced
years he Is able to perform.

MOORE TESTIFIED
IN HIS OWN BEHALF.
Was Considerably FIurrfed Under
Rigid CrOss-Examinatfon.

Was Considerably FIurried Under
Rigid CrOss-Examination.
In the United States court yesterday
the entire time was occupied with the
case against W.. E. Moore, the Guy
ton colored attorney. A session of the
court for more than two hours was
held at night, but despite the extra
time. the case will occupy the greater
part of the session tomorrow morn
ing.
At the night seFsion, Moore took
the stand in his own behalf. He be-
gan by making a statement to the
jury. The statement went into the
ninutest details. After Moore had
gone alone for some fifteen minutes
Judge Speer interrupted him, and the
evidence was secured from that point
through the questions of his attorney,
Mr.. II. e. Wilson.
Moore made a complete denial of all
the evidence which had been brought
against him, claiming that persons 1ad
been present in his office who had testi-
fed to the directly opposite. At the
conclusion of his testimony, United
States Attorney Alexander Akerman
took the witness for cross-examination,
and by his pointed questions, drew
from him several admissions.
The feature or the morning session
was the hard fight made by Mr.. Will
son to exclude certain testimony which
Mr.. Akerman wished to introduce 70
show that Moore had made other false
Jurats. The matter was argued at
some length. The ruling OF the court
was that the evidence was admissible.
