From the Atlanta Constitution. Policeman Sheppard related a remarka- ble and most pathetic story last night, one which, strange as it is, is absolutely true. “There used to be a notorious negro in Atlanta,” said he, “by the name of John Malachi. John was well known in police circles, but he rarely ever went so far us to be arrested. He was an outcast and cculd always be found about the low dives and dens. He had one true friend, a small dog. Wherever the negro went that dog was always with him. Often I have seen that dog and remarked that Malachi wasn’t far off, and sure enough the negro would soon come into sight. The dog, so far as his breed was concerned, was about as wcrthless as his master. I don’t know which was the better known, John Malachi or the dog. “Well, a few months ago John moved to Mecon, where he led about the same sort of life he led here. He died in Macon about a month ago, and was buried there at_the expense of the city, I suppose. When I heard of the negro’s death I im. mediately wondered where the dog was ard what he would do without his master. ‘Tonight I saw the dog. And what do you suppose he was doing? He was going up and down Decatur street, searching in the saloons and the negro dives for the only person who had ever cared for him. 1 watched the dog for quite a while and I saw him go in and out of the places which were once frequented by Malachi. He moved along in a fast trot, holding his head down. I followed him as he went into a restaurant. He trotted into the open door, stood still when on the inside while he gazed about at the men and women sembled there, and then he turned and trotted out. This was repeated at a num- ber of places. “That little dog, tired of looking for his master in Macon, had come all the way tc Atlanta, a distance of 103 miles, to look for his master. I felt like taking the poor dog home and called him to me. But he merely stopped a moment, looked sadly at me and went on with his- search.” A number of policemen saw the dog after- ward on Decatur street, and they corrobo- aly the story related by Policeman Shep- pard, 9 The Vast Preponderance of British- Built Tonnage. From the Engineering Magazine. I have used the word “native” in refer- ring to foreign-owned tonnage, but the term must be qualified. In eight years builders in Britain have constructed for foreign owners vessels aggregating nearly 1,750,000 tons—an average of 200,000. tons: per annum. This includes warships; but, if we consider only merchantmen, we find that the average is now more than 150,000 tons, while ten years ago it was about $0,000 tons, and forty years ago only 25,000 tens. An examination of the fleets of for- eign powers, indeed, shows the prepond- erance of British-built tonnage. Including only vessels of 1,000 tons and upward, I find that in the present German mercantile fleet there are 310 British-built ships; in that of France, 234; Norway, 217; Spain, 171; Italy, 158; Holland and Belgium, 135: Austro-Hungary, 93; Russia, 81; Sweden; 74; Denmark, 65; United States, 23. The greater proportion of tris foreign tonnage ccmes from the Clyde district, whose re- pute is undoubtedly high; but in this re- spect, I fancy, it does not by any means so far out-distance the other districts ag formerly. This is ir. some measure due to the wider distributicn of Clyde-trained men. I raight recall the names of many of my old colleagues at Fairfield and Ciydebank now occupying positions of high respon- ‘/ sibility in many of the other ship-duilding centers on the northeast coast of Engiand and at Belfast, but it opens up too great a vista. Moreover, We standard will of neces- sity iraprove. ——__+ e+ ____. Wherein They Differ. From the Chicago News. “No, sir,” said the rabid free-thinker, “the idea that there is a God never for a moment has entered my head.’ “Same way with my dog,”: replied the deacon, “‘but. he doesn’t go round howling F about it.” ee The ‘Saturday Star BY MAIL “$5.00 Per Year. KELLER MEMORIAL Lutheran Church Biifobte Be Ferm SCOPE OF RE Sketch of Organization and De- scription eae ‘ REUN S108 MONDAY, ‘EVENING gu ‘The dedication of. the, Keller Memorial Lutheran Church, Rev. Charles H. Butler, pastor, as heretofore announced in The Star, will take place Sunday: and. Monday; the 12th and 13th instants. The building is located “at the: southeast corner of Mary- land avenue and %h.and E streets north}: east. The lot has a frontage of @) feet on | Maryland “avenue and somtwifat ever 100 feet on Yth street. ay The church and adjoining a “oocupy neatly ninety-five feet,zand more than fif= teen’ feet_remain, thus ‘affording toom- for enlargement. ff in the, future it shall be found: necessary. The original architect of the building was Mr~ Vi-A. Hubbard, when: it was erected five years ago, but it was under the oversight of Meéssr8. Stutz and Pease that it has been brought to ita pres- ent state of beauty and-completion. The building ‘is of Rétmanesque design, with two towers for the church and chapel, respectively. The main tower has ‘two en- trances, fronting on Maryland avenue and on 9th street. On the avenue also is an extension containing the pastor's study, over which is the choir gallery. The Main Auditoriam. The auditorium, running from Maryland avenue along 9th street, with a bay exten- sion, is capacious and unique. The pews are of oak and the ground floor of the main auditorium has a seating eapacity of about v0. There are two other galleries in addi- tion to the one for organ and choir. One is on the 9th street side and the other ex- tends into the chapel The Sunday school room communicates with the church proper by .sliding doors, and can in case of neces- sity be utilized for 900 or 1,000 persons. The church is wainscoted. The ceiling Is finished in wood, and, with grained arches, rresents a fine appearance. The walls are colored with a soft tint of kreen, and blend with the dark ceiling. - The carpet has green as a prevailing ‘olor, relieved by a pleasing shade of terrai atta. The pulpit, pulpit chairs “and altar raft are of oak, and the platform is carpeted with Brussels. The ‘stamed glass windows are of striking beauty, most of them be- ing memorial. On the east and over the pulpit is the motto “ling to the Cross,” with the additional inseription, “Simply to the Cross I Cling." The window is a me- morial to the late Mr. Sylvester Mumford of Georgia, Over the winddw is a Scripture quotation, “Justified by’ faith, we have peace.”” On each side of the pulpit is a wall panel, with appropriate ‘scriptural inserip- ons.

They were re- turning home from Washington in a light bugay. and attempted to.cress the branch near the Bla. densburg bridge. Owing to the heay y rainfalls, the ‘stream was very much swollen, and the buggy containing Mr. and Mrs. Donaldson was caught in the sweep of the current and borne some distance down the stream, the horse being unable to matn- tain a footing. Realizing that they were being carried imo deep water, the occupants of the bugyy called loudly for assistance, anil succeeded in Attracting the attention of two colored men, who waded in and brought the team safely ashore.
