THE AFRICA* METHODISTS. Second Day's Session of the Gtorvla Conference. Much interest was attached to the Sec ond day’s Session of the Georgia Con ference of the African Methodist Episco pal church. ' Bishop Grant Introduced Rev. J. H. Arm strong, D. D., financial secretary of the \friean Methodist connection with head quarters at Washington. At this junc ture the secretary read the annual report of the department. Dr. Armstrong com plimented the conferences of the Sixth Episcopal District, and said that they had furnished one-fourth of the money re quired to run the general work of the connection, and that their collections dur ing the past quadrennial had been larger than any in the history of the conference, the amount being $21,855.54 more than any previous time. The Sixth district, embracing the Geor gia, North Georgia. Macon, Ala bama, Central Alabama, and North Ala bama conferences, has collected during the four years drawing to a close $161,122.80. The money collected for education, mis sionary purposes, and running the confer ences in not included in these figures furn ished by Dr. Armstrong. He said that in this work it is ishown that the negro is trying to elevate himself. He is of the opinion that as the states of Georgia and Alabama had furnished one-fourth of the money to run the work, they should like wise have a say in the selection of officers to carry on the work. Rev. H. T. Johnson, 1 D. D., editor of the Christian Recorder, published by the con nection, was introduced and addressed the conference on his department of church work. The Recorder is the oldest negro lournal in America, having started over oO years ago. "Over a half of a century," he said, "we have been exerting the in fluence for the elevation of the race, and the prosecution of this great and good work of saving the world for Christ. The following visitors were introduced: Rev. R. M. Checks, presiding elder, Rome district; M. M. Moore, East Florida con ference; W. C. Gaines, Macon conference; E. K. Ixtve, D. D., Raptist church of this city, and many others. The pastors then made their reports which occupied the morning session. At the conclusion the committee on dollar money, reported that there was in its hands over $6,000. In the afternoon the committee on ad mission reported recommending a class of t wenty young men to be admitted on trial. They were a bright set of young men, and will doubtless do good service for the church. The conference proceeded to the election of delegates to general confer ence with the following result: Revs. R. R. Downs. T. M. N. Smith, S. D. Rosehorough, W. H. Wells, J. A. Wood, E. Dowry, D. H. Porter, J. B. Lofton. Three others will be elected to-day, and report will be made from electorial col leges. . A communication was presented to the conference for approval and will be sub mitted to the railroad authorities, asking for ministers' permits or reduced rate tickets for the ministers of the confer ence. Last night the annual missionary meet ing was held. Rev. I. S. Hamilton of the Hawkinsville district preached the mis sionary' sermon. It was heard by 1,5(i0 people. After the sermon a collection, was taken, amounting to S3OO, for the work. To-night the educational sermon will be preached. AT THE THEATER. Popular Prices Draw Large Audi ences to See the Baldwin-Melville Company. The Baldwin-Melville Company had an other large audience last night. The theater was full, In fact. Twenty-five more people in either section would have made standing room only. The play' was The Phoenix, a sterling old piece, and it was well played. It was, indeed, a pro duction superior to a great many of the higher-priced shows that are on the road. The company gave a matinee yesterday afternoon to a full house, and acceptably presented Fogg’s Ferry. The engagement will continue during the remainder of the week. It goes without saying that the business will continue good. The show is worth the price, and the price Is within the reach of all. The box sheet for reserved seats for the Music Culture Club concert next Monday night will open at the theater box office this morning. The phantom fancy dress melange and soiree, to be given by Prof, Agostini Jan. 2 will be an unique affair. In a darken ed hall, with weird music, the phantoms have a dance, after which each one silent ly bows himself out. Instantly, the lights ere turned VP and a fancy dress ball Is In full blast. An interesting programme has been prepared, on which Is a musical quadrlll, a Trilby tableau, fancy dancing, solos, duets and choruses. At 10 o’clock Prof. Leon’s full orchestra will strike up and the spectators will be allowed to dance.

A UTILE BOY’S THEORY. THOUGHT HE COULD AVOID SICK NESS MERELY BV "MAKING VP HIS MIND.*’ Once upon a time, a wise little bor as sured his 111-informed parents that he didn't Intend to have the mumps, even if the disease was “going jround.” He could be well just by making up his mind to, he said. Next morning he bit into a pickle and a terrific pain behind the ears made him realize that he could not stave off dis ease by an effort of will. He is an oldish man now, and not half as set in his opinions as he used to be. He has noticed how rare is perfect health, and how numerous are the causes that make people weak and wretched. Work that they cannat shirk, exposure, and, very often their own indiscretion, bring men and wo men to a condition wljffre only a little cold or trifling indigestion Is needed to send them shivering to bed. The lesson is old as the gray ocean. Watch yourself, and whim you detect the first sign of decreasing strength, fortify the body with something that stimulates the whole system, gently yet effectively. It is proper to say that Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey, a medicinal preparation, has sup planted nearly all remedies for this pur pose. Thoughtful doctors know that, while whiskey may be a most valuable help in in ducing a healthy action in a sluggish body, only a perfectly pure whiskey will answer the purpose. The difficulty iri getting such a whiskey has been a stumbling-block in the physician’s path. It did not take the public long to recognize the excellence of Duffy’s Pure Malt. There Is health and strength in every drop of it. ■ ■■■ THE BONFIRES. Special Pleadings of the Boys anil the Girls. Savannah, Ga., Dec. 19.—Dear Mr. Edi tor of the Morning News: Will you please let me have a few more words to say about the bonfires In the Park extension —they vote on it to-night, I believe—on the part of the girls? Quite a lot of us girls met during recess to-day and by a unanimous vote I was asked to write this, begging the city fath ers to amend that mean old ordinance stopping bonfires in the extension. If we girls could see where it hurt anything or anybody to have them, why we wouldn't say a word. But it don’t, that's all. It’s lots of fun, Mr. Editor, for us young peo ple to get together on Christmas night and have a Jolly good time around the fires. Some of these days we'll be get ting old, and won’t have time for fun like this, and we want to get all we can out of the holidays. I cannot think that thosa gentlemen will forget their early pleasures, and I think the ordinance will be changed with a great big yep. If they don’t, well, we'll pout, sure. A Girl. Mr. Morning News: I want to have one or two more words with you about the bonfires. Now, Mr. Editor, I know you used to like the sport, and would holler and yell and laugh just as we do when you had your bonfires, and sfte the flames lick up the barrels, and I know you are with us, because I have seen you stand around and laugh at the boyish pranks and Jollities of Christmas night. And you are going to help us out, ain’t you? Do all you can for us, and we’ll make it all right. Tell you the truth, I don’t believe there’s an alderman on that board but in his heart has a weakness for Jollity on Christmas and they ain't going back on the boys. Don’t I know ’em. -Papa says they were Just the gayest boys in their time as we are now and they can’t re sist us. Now', Messrs. CRy Fathers, do give us a chance for some fun and w’e’ll never forget you. Yours in anxiety. Young Floxie, (for the Kids.) WANTS THEM - UNDER BOND. An Effort to Keep Repenting Rifles Out of the Hands of Negroes. Representative B. Atkinson of Camden county Introduced a bill In the last legis lature to require persons carrying Win chesters or other repeating rifles to give a bond for the proper use of them. It was desired to make people give se curity for the lawful use of them for the reason, that there are a number of tur pentine negroes, especially in the southern part of the state, who carry such weapons and W'ho are a menace to the communi ties where they live on account of them, and the irresponsible use they make of them. Dr. Atkinson’s bill was defeated by a very small vote, and he expects to have It Introduced again next session. The bill would keep arms out of the hands of this irresponsible class of ne groes, because they would not be able to give the bond required, and the law would to that extent be a protection to the communities, especially in Southern Georgia, where such protection. Is needed. PORT PARAGRAPHS. Maritime Matters of Local and Gen eral Interest. The schooner Emily F. Northam, which went ashore Nov. 2, near Cape Henry, has been floated. She will be towed to Norfolk.

The orange and black was in evidence yesterday when stxty-two Princeton men rolled into the city on a special train just behind the morning train from Charleston. & C. The Princeton boys spent the day at the De Soto, arui took in the principal points of interest around the city. They’ visited most of the clubs and seemed to have a good time generally. The Glee, Mandolin and Banjo Clubs of the university gave their entertain ment last night at the Masonic hall. There were about so> present, and It was an au dience of culture and taste. The audience was an appreciative one. too. and the col lege men were encored for each selection. They had to respond, too, as their hear ers Insisted oil It. There were fourteen numbers on the programme, every one of them a gem. The programme was op ened with a song by the Glee Club, "Old Nassau,” led by Mr, John C. Kerr of the class of 1896. Tho Glee Club presented some fine voices, and the audience insist ed on hearing from it again, as it did whenever it appeared on the stage. The best feature rendered by thf Glee Club was the ’96 medley, a bright, catchy and original composition by Mr. Kerr, the leader. This rendition was warmly ap plauded and well received. Delsarte by Newman was well rendered by Mr. Kil patrick, with tho Glee Club to support him, as were also the dialect songs by Mr. McLean, and the "Trumpeter’s May- Song,’’ by Mr, McNish and the Glee Club. • The banjo club was led bt- Mr. Ralph I). Smith of New York, a member of the class ox ’96. This Is one of the strongest or ganization of the kind ever brought to the south. Its selections were exceptionally good and very well rendered. The mando lin club's music was as soft and sweet as was heard during the evening. Each of its selections was warmly received and encored. This branch of the organization was led by Mr. Scott McLanahan of Penn sylvania of the class of 1596. In the last selection on the programme, "Dinah Deh,” by Mr. E. B. Smith, the entire Klee club organization appeared on the stage with excellent effect, and the ren dition was a brilliant one. No audience of the season has leen better pleased with any entertainment, and there are many- who wished the boys could have remained longer In the city. They carry with them a full football team, most of the members of which are the members of the regular Princeton eleven, and who will play a game in Memphis when they reach that city. Mr. Fred T. Sauss.v of tho class of ’96, son of Mr. J. R. Saussy, was along with the Princeton hoys as a member of the mandoline cltth. He was kept busy all (lav showing his Princeton friends around Savannah. I’ROF. WILLIAM G. WOODFIN DE AD. Hl* Death Unexpected and luoaed Deep Sorrow. Prof. Svilliam G. Woodfin died night before last at the home of his daughter, Mrs. R. A. Hinton, on the Southwestern railroad, about forty miles below Macon. Prof. Woodfin was the father of the well know-n clerk of the city court of this city, Mr. W. G. Woodfin. Jr. Prof. Woodfin was born In Richmond, ' a " , c , t \ 31 * ls3l - graduated at Rieh mond College, and also at the University of \ irginia In 1856 he was elected pro fessor of Latin and Greek at Mercer University, which was then located at Ptnlleld, Ga., and this position he occupied until the fail of 1878, when he went to the University of Geoc gia, in the sun*- capacity, where he re mained until 1890. He taught Latin and Greek consecutively for thirty-six years, and since 1890 ne has been engaged In ex amining lands from a geological stand poirvt for syndicates. His death was quite a sudden and unexpected one, though he has been suffering from dropsy for the last eighteen months. A few days ago he was apparently In good health. Besides his son here, he leaves three daughters, Mrs. R. A. Hinton, Mrs. N. B. Carson of Kissimmee, Fla., and Mrs. Boyenton of Hampton. Va. Mr. W’oodlin left the city last night to attend Ills fa ther s funeral though at that time he had not been advised as to the arrangements made for it. Prof. Woodfin was well-known in Sa vannah, and there are many college grad uates who went to school to him during his connection with Mercer, and with the U niversity. He was known to all as a generous, kind and courteous gentleman, and one for whom the college l>oys under his tutorship always had the highest re gard. He was never known to vote to ex pel a boy for being connected with any mischief, it being his policy as he would always say, to give the boy another chance. His death will be a source of deep regret to ail the aHumni of the state uni versity as well as to his many friends throughout the state. LOCAL PERSONAL. Mr. J.
