BACK FIFTEEN' YEARS.
BAYARD SEES MANY CHANGES
SINCE THEN.
The Ex-Secretary of State Compares
His Notes of Savannah a Decade and
a Half Ago With the Savannah of
To-Day,and Sees Wonderful Changes.
Mrs. Bayard and Her Mother De
lighted with the City—Their Tour of
the South to 2nd Here—To heave
for the North To-Day.
••Mr. and Mrs. Bayard. Delaware, Mrs.
Clymer, Washington, D. CX,” was the mod
way in which Hon. Thomas F. Bayard, ex-
Secretary of State registered him-elf and
wife and his wife's mother at the Pulaski
bouse on their arrival from Brunswick
yesterday noon.
Mr. Bayard was seen by a Morning
News reporter, but he was not inclined to
speak on matters of a political character.
He said that he is entirely out of public
life, and preferred not to discuss questions
of politics at this time, but he expressed
pleasure with his southern tour, which he
said is wholly one of pleasure.
Mr. Bayard said that he came soujh in
acceptance of an invitation from Charles
ton to meet the Huguenot Society of that
city, and while there he concluded to extend
his visit farther south. He visited Jack
sonville, St. Augustine, and Central
Florida, and his wife and her mother, Mrs.
Clymer, have enjoyed the trip very much
indeed.
Referring to Savannah, Mr. Bayard
alluded to it as a beautiful city, one of the
prettiest in the country, and much im
proved and extended over what it was
when he last visited it in 1375. He appeared
to be much interested in its maritime and
commercial trade, and inquired particularly
for statistics of the cotton, rice, and uava!
stores receipts for last season, so that ha
might compare them with the statistics of
fifteen years ago, with which he appeared
to be thoroughly familiar.
Mr. and Mrs. Bayard and Mrs. Clymer
took a drive over the city in the afternoon.
The party will leave this morning for tae
north.

sponded, but No. 3 and the yard hands put
out the fire, which was confined to thirtv
two bales of cotton. The damage wili not
exceed *l5O.
At 3:45 o’clock another alarm was sent in

TIIR MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, APRIL 24, 1800.
THE BT. PATRICK’S CHURCH CHOIR
CONCERT. *
A Charming Entertainment Before a
Delighted Audience.
The theater was crowded in every part
last night at the St. Patrick’s choir organ
fund entertainment. Every seat and the
; boxes were occupied. The galleries were
j jammed to overflowing. It was estimated
that 1,300 people at least were in the house.
The first part of the programme was de
voted to concerted music and songs by
members of St Patrick’s church choir. The
first number was a soprano solo and chorus
from “Mousquetairs.” rendered by Mrs.
Altick aud the choir. W. T. Rich
ards played the aocompanlment.
It was a fine selection, and ar
rested attention from the very first
bar. Mrs. Altick scored a success with her
rendition of the opening aria. As the rich
body of toue iu the chorus that followed
floated through the theater it was difficult
to recognize the fact that only local talent
wasjengaged in the chorus.
Mr. M. A. O’Byrne sang a bass solo which
gave satisfaction. He declined to respond
to an encore.
The tenor duet, “Hope Abides Forever,”
by Stearns, and suog by Messrs. Donovan
and I),imas, was acceptably rendered
The soprano solo. “La Fioraja.” from
was exceedingly beautiful. It
was sung by Mrs. Altick and suited the
sweet, deucate tone of her cultivated voice.
Her singmg carried the audience by storm,
and in response to repeated bur* sof ap
plause she sang as an encore “Believe me if
all those endearing young charms.”
Instead of the niauo quartette, as adver
tised, Mr. H. A. Dumas gave "Across the
Sands,” by Millard. He sang it in excellent
style. Mrs. Dumas played the accompani
ment.
Mu* Josle King who has a charming and
powerful voioe, sang an exquisite melody,
“The Daisy” by Arditti. Her voice was
true aud steady, and she rendered her silo
artistically. At the close she was present ad
with a bouquet of flowers and the audience
demanded a repetition. Her encore song
“Dreams,” by Streliski, was sung
in a faultless manner. The applause that
followed amounted almost to an ovation.
The piano accompaniment to both selections
was played by Miss Ida O’Byrne with a
smooth aud a deferential acquiesence to the
intentions of the solo singer which was a9
refreshing as it is rare, and the singer was
thereby enabled to occupy the principal
place in the musical picture.
Owing to the absence of Mrs. Reilly the
trio, "Row Us Swiftly,” was not sung, and
iu its stead Mrs. Altick and Miss Ida
O’Byrne sang a duet, “Do You Remem
ber?” by Campana. Mrs. Dumai played
the accompaniment.
Mr. M. J. Donovan sang a tenor sola,
"Sweetheart of My Boyhood Days,” which
was well suited to his voice aud style. In
answer to a request for a repetition he re
sponded with ‘‘KlUarney.”
The concert concluded with the quar
tette, "Good Night, Beloved,” by Miss
King, Miss O’Byrne, Mr. Donovan, aud
Mr. Loughead.
One of the most delightful features of the
entertainment was the exhibition drill and
caltstbenic exercises by thirty young ladies,
under the leadership of Miss Allie Kennedy.
Each was dressed alike in a pale bine blouse
and white skirt, with cudet cap, aud the
general appearance was bewitching.
The young ladies were trained byMrs. W.P
Bailey, who was called north unexpectedly.
Miss Allis Kennedy made au efficient
leader. Especially good was the anvil
chorus with dumb-bells, which marked the
close of the first part of the exercise. The
evolutions were well performed, particu
larly the formation of “London Bridge”
and'the “Cretan labyrinth.”
Much could he said in praise of the
dramatic part of the entertainuieut, "A
Regular Fix” performed by members of the
Fords. Mr. J. F. Doyle, who is a favorite
with Savanuah audiences, did excellent
work as “Hugh de Brass.” Larry Doyle
was the porter, but bad no suitable part,
which was regretted. J. F. Lane was
notably successful as “Mr. Surplus” the
lawyer. R. J. Warrick was impressive aud
successful as "Charles Surplus,’
and he received quite an ovation
on his entrance. The audience
testified its approval of the parts
essayed by EJ. Leonard, William Fleming,
Miss Daly, Miss Conway, Miss McEvoy,
and Miss Katie Mehrtens.
The eutertainmeut was very successful
financially, and credit is due Mr. H. A.
Dumas for the executive ability which he
displayed in getting up the entertainment
ou the lines as indicated.
For some months past I have been using
and selling Smith’s Bile Beaus, and find
them the best medicine 1 have ever handled.

AN OLD THIEF CAUGHT.
Abram Frasier Comas Back to the
Scene of Hia Crime and la Jailed.
Justice McDermott put Abram Frasier
(colored) iu jail yesterday on a charge of lar
ceny. ■
Frasier is an old off ender. A year ago
he entered the rooms of Saxon and John
Anderson, two colored men living in Yama
craw and stole all the clothing in the rooms,
and pocketed $7 in money, which he
found in a drawer. The Andersons got af
ter the thief and Frasier had to leave the
city hastily. It was never known where
the clothing was, however, and it remained
here in his room while he was a a ay.
He went over to Hardeeville, S. C., where
he got work on a farm a short distance out
of tha town. The Andersons were ap
prised of Frasier’s whereabouts, but they
were unable to get him arrested, and Fra
sier got brave enough to think his
offense was out of date, and he
come straggling back to Savannah,
and reached here yesterday. He walked up
town after paying his respects to his friends
in Yamacraw and seeing that his room was
all right. The presence of the rogue reached
the Andersons, who are still working here,
a-id they went post haste to the magistrate’s
office, where a warrant was issued for
Frasier.
YVhen Frasier was arrested he hung his
head for a minute and remarked that he
must “certainly be de wrongful pusson,”
but Constable Coleman assured him that tie
had the right man, and Frasier was taken
from the justice's office to tho jail.
YY r hen asked if he could give bond, he re
plied: “Don’t see how I kin, when I ain’t
been heah long nuff ter git ’quainted with
de people/]

The arrangements for a race course. the
amount of prizes, and many other matters
relating to the successful operation of the
ciub were discussed by Col. Owens, and
Messrs. John R. Young, W. H. Daniel,
Capt. John L. Hammond and others, and
it was decided to increase the membership
to 400 if possible and at least to 250. Col.
Owens believed that there will be no trou
ble to arrange with the agricultural society
for the use of the Ten Broeck course, and
on motion a committee of five, consisting
of Messrs. J. N. Johnson, YV. H. Daniel,
Capt. John L. Hammond, John R. Youug,
and Capt. George YV. Lamar, was ap
pointed to confer with the owners of Ten
Broeck course and report to the jockey
club at an adjourned meeting on May 10,
what arrangements can be effected with the
agricultural society, and what repairs, etc.,
will be necessary’.
Referring to the present committee ou
membership, its chairman, Mr. Young,
said that he thought it should be now dis
charged and anew committee bo appointed
to iufuse new life in the e!ut>. This propo
sition was met with exclamations ot “No,
no,” and Col. Owens, from the chair, said
that he thought the committee had done to
well, the best thing to be done would be to
retain it, as It had certainly exceeded be
yond expectation in the short time it had
been at work.
Mr. Daniel offered a resolution which
wa9 adopted, that a committee of fifteen,
to be divided into five subcommittees, bo
appointed to solicit me nbership, and thi
following W:'re appointel by the chair:
No. 1. John R. Young, chairman; Joseph
Hull and Charles H. Dorset*.
No. 2. YV. H. Daniel, chairman; F. S.
Lathrop aud T. Ballantyne.
No. 8. L. Lippman, chairman; 8. Guck

No. 4 R. W. Rowers, chairmau; John
Feeley aud J. H. Furber.
No. 5. J. N. Johns in, chairman; John K.
Garuett and A. W. Harmon.
It was suggested by Mr. Powers that
every member of the club use his individual
influence to increase the membership, which
suggestion was favorably received and
adopted.
It was announced by Secretary Cohen
that the club now numbers 145 members,
and Mr. Young stated that some of his
colleagues on the committee have names
which have not yet been handed in, and
Col. Mike Brown of Barnwell has a list of
names of South Ca olinians who desire to
become members of the elub. The number
of new members elected yesterday is ninety
two.
There was quite a general expression that
the first races on the course should be equal
to the best in the land, and an effort wilt be
made to have prizes aggregating SIO,OOO, so
that the best blood of the turf will come
here.
The meeting adjourned to meet at the
Pulaski house on Saturday, May 10, at
which time it is thought the preseut mem
bership will be doubled, aud some action
taken looking to the lease or purchase of

Quick Sales and Small Profits.
“The Famous” N. Y. Clothing House has
been doing business in Savannah over ten
years and has established the reputation of
being the cheapest (for fine clothing) of auy
store anywhere. YVhen it comes to a tug of
war by a judge of clothing and a clo e
buyer that tries every store “The Famous ”
always comes out victorious, for the reason
that I am satisfied to make quick sales and
small profits. The claim that you can save
25 percent, by buying of “The Famous”
looks, perhaps, to the unsophisticated like
blowing, but it is true, nevertheless, aud
has been proven many times. Orly this
week a young man came in with anew pair
of trousers, and I happened to have the
identical same goods and pattern'. He had
paid $7 for them. Mine were marked in
plain figures to sell at $5. If you want to

Neckwear at a reasonable price go to “The
