MR. BAYNE AT
FRENCH OPERA
It Came**Llkea Divine
Inspiration.”
The Editor Falls Into ihc lUnds of
F.diior>>.
The following I* clipped from ihr
New Orlean* I’icajutia:
"Ot\e* upon a time Mr. Clark Howell,
the editor of the Atlanta Conatltution.
wrote a little editorial oqulb. aaying
that Charlra J. Bayne, like liord By
ron. got up one morning and found
himself fa no me. Mr. Bayne, to whom
Mr. Howell had reference, 1* the edi
tor of The Augusta (On.) Herald, and
la a (ileal of the St. Charlea Hotel. Hr
is a bright, fluent. logical writer of
great power and Influence In the state
of Georgia. He has written some of the
elrverrsl thing* In the Georgia pres*
during the past ten year*, and he hap
pens In New Orleans at (his time on
his return from a lecturing tonr which
took him to Opelousas, St. l-andry par
ish, thla atnte. where ha opened the
Lyceum course.
“The occasion for Mi. How ell mak
ing that unique rrfermer to Mr. Bayne
was when he write a satire about a
eerlaln minister of Augusta, which was
circulated through every state of the
South and printed all over the country.
Mr. Howell called It one of the finest
pieces of satire ever put into words,
and the duy the article appear'a. to
gether with a poem on the same min
ister. Mr. Howell heard of It and had
both copies telegraphed to the Cousti
j ration without u'lay.
I "But these are incidents about Edi
tor Bayne which an familiar to every
'one. if he is approached on the sub
ject of his noted satire, be will turn
the conversation to lecturing and
something else.
"Mr. Bayne went to the French op
era. It was a grand new sight, one of
inspiration lo him. He was sitting at
the writing itesk in his room at the St.
Charles when the Picayune man enter
ed. and it so happened that he was at
that moment writing a letter to his pa
per. describing his impressions of the
opera which he had seen the night
previous.
"To a fellow who lives away from
such things as the French opera, it is
like a divine inspiration to get into the
old French Opera House on Bourbon
struct, and sit through one ol tboee
performance*, »s.l had the pleasure ot
doing last' night; said the r*w ol
Tlie Augusta Herald. tuiDtUK away
from his letter writing.

Apelousas, La.. Deo. 15. —As long as
the world loves romance and sugar, this
section of Louisiana will have a charm
for mankind.
Down in this part of the industrial
vineyard fortunes are made ot sugar
and'salt, so it is small wonder that
they melt when the withdrawn sun of
bounties bring on the winter of discon
tent. Tills Is the "proverbial sugar
howl" of the world, and there can be
doubt that enough of the saccharine
substance is produced here to make
pap for a nursling nation.
The romance is derived from the fact
that it was down the Bayou Teche,
which runs four miles from here, that
the Evangeline whom Longfellow has
Immortalised, dreamed and drifted as
she finished her long Journey from Aca
dia. Tide, therefore, is what Addison
called em hantea ground
The faithful young Acadian beauiv
has long since passed away, but the
salons of her race »r* suit here, and
to Geoutia ears it sounds passing
strange to hear country yokels speak

Grain Letter.
Augusta. Ga., Dec. I".—Early cables
showed a fractional decline 111 foreign
grain markets at the opening this mor

the local pit. Later in the session con
siderable long wheat was thrown on
the market, resulting in a steady de
cline throughout the session and a net
less of “« of a cent for the day. After
the steady advance of the past few*
days it is no more than natural for
small recations to follow in order to
make the market a healthy one. Ex
ports continue liberal, and as this is
one of the qiost important factors In
this market'at present, ’we believe the
result will be much higher price® for'

The Fairies of Magical Fancy have I
ht-SII busier than ever before, thi*
season., with the beautiful art crea
tion' when beguile the dollars from
the purse* of the tempted shopper: snd
nowhere else are their most flawless
spei tniens exhibited to more exquisite
> (feet snd in more princely numbers
j than St \Vm. Sclvveigert & Co.’s.
| The vast Improvement* In this, the j
most metropolitan store on Broad!
street, has of course railed for a more
|extensive ami a far handsomer stock
ithan any hitherto brought out, for the
Jewel must be worthy of its setting. 1
It is ImpoggtWo to speak in detail of j
all the priceless and matchless article* j
brought together In that glistening
crystal Interior; but fur the benefit of
Chilatma* shoppers who are anxious
to have the very latest In all ltoea. we
will Jot down a few suggestions as to
novelties to tie found at thi* popular
store.
From this rich store, my lady may be
decked like any queen in ’ barbaric
splendor, for never has the Jewels and
personal adornments been so rich and
gay. The silver toilet article* are of
course very popular, preferably the eb- !
ony with the silver, and a full line is to,
be found here: but the only novelties
ate wax ladles and comb cleaners, both
very useful and unique.
Still newer are the sash clasps, small
er and daintier than heretofore, ot ox
ydixed silver and gold with rose-finish;
lorgnettes of tortoise shell with trim
mings of gold: tortoise shell comb*,
hi nod and fiat, for the lower part of
the back hair: and long chains of n: ick
jewels for fan. lorgnette or watches.
The new- watch** are gems of art.
very small, enamelled and jewelled,
preferably worn on chatelaines. The
most striking of all the novelties is a
very heavy chain of massive silver
links to be worn around the waist, to
one end of which is fastened a silver
vinaigrette with a large space for a
monogram.
Diamonds of course hold their own.
and the display in the large front case
is the most superb ever seen in Au
gusta. There are no specially new set
tings; but among the pins, the harvest
moon Is the latest design. In spite of
the superstition against them, opals
are all the rage, and hundreds of opal
rings are purchased from the extensive
assortment. Hatpins, stickpins and
wreath-pins are shown in many novel
patterns.- and there is a great variety
of the new style bangle bracelets.
Tie urotrsiiai are. simply matchleas,
ana are a. exclusive patterns. 3o*ne of
{Hr riohly' jeweled hafnHes in the gold
Egyptian finish, and in the colored
pearl are beautiful beyond the higii

Augusta. Ga., Dec. 1.. —The stock
market opened somewhat irregular this
morning with prices for the legitimate
j list fractionally higher, but during the
I day cased off a shade under pressure of
I realizing sale* wh'ch were prominent

j th? market was active and showed eon
; siderable hunting for stop orders on the
bull account, in the hope of precipita
ting a general reaction. Closing price*
were steady, and there appeared to be
but little holiday realizing, which to
generally a factor at this season of the
year, when accounts are being evened
up for the close of the year's business.
The principal factor in the week’s bu
siness was the prediction of tight mon
ey. Later cable* from abroad show
that the stringency has somewhat
