A DAY OF THANKSGIVING.
Savanna Mans Have Many Things to
Be Thankful For.
A Universal Holiday-TheProgramme
in the City and at the Resorts—The
Military to Take Advantage of It.
Crowds Going to the Exposition—A
General Suspension of Business
Until To-morrow—Services in the
Churches.
To-day comes as near being a national
holiday as it is possible for any day to be.
It is a day universally observed. There
are few people who. in some way. do not
return thanks for the Providence that
has guided them. Savannahian's have
many things to be thankful for. and the
thankful-minded will look with grati
tude over the year that brought with it
so much of prosperity, and so little of ad-
versity.
There will be the usual services in the
churches. In Christ, St. John sand St.
Paul's thanksgiving services will be held
at 11 o’clock this morning. A union ser
vice of the Evangelical congregations
will be held at the First Presbyterian
church at the same hour, at which Rev.
S. A. Goodwin, D. D., of the First Baptist
church, will preach.
TO LAY ASIDE BUSIXESS.
There will be a general suspension of
business throughout the city. The
markets and retail stores will be
open during the morning, but will close at
2 o'clock. All of the courts adjourned
last night until to-morrow. The banks,
the cotton exchange, board of trade, and
public offices, ana wholesale houses will
be closed all day. The city exchange,
and all government offices except the post
office, were closed last night until to-mor
row. The postoftlee will observe the
usual Sunday hours, the money order and
registry departments being closed and the
stamp window remaining open from 9 to
10 o'clock.
A FAIR DAY PREDICTED.
The weather indications last night
were for a fair day and thousands will
take advantage of it for an outing.
The Savannah Volunteer Guards will
leave at an early hour this morniug for
Greenwich park w here they go to spend
part of the day and indulge in an oyster
roast and a target practice. The trip
will be made by the eutire corps, Capt.
Tom Screven of Company B in command,
and every company will turn out in force.
The morning will be spent in target
practice at 200 and 300 yard ranges, and
the oyster roast and lunch will be one of
the most important features. Col. Gar
rard will accompany the corps as an in
vited guest.
The temptation of the foot ball game was
too much for the soldier boys, and they
have prevailed upon the officers to return
to the city by 1 o’clock, or shortly after,
which will give them all an opportunity
of witnessing the contest.
A BAD DAY FOR TURKEYS.
The Savannah Rifle Association will
have a target practice and shoot at the
Wheelmen's Park, and the Savannah Ca
dets will spend the day in the same man
ner at Harmon's Range. All tho target
shooters are expecting a good day of it.
Aside from the Rifle Association’s
practice at the Wheelmen's park, there
will be an old-fashioued turkey shoot, com
mencing at 11 o’clock, and lasting all day.
Besides the home attractions hundreds of
people will spend the day in Augusta and
Charleston. To-day is Savannah, At
lanta and Macon day at the Augusta ex
position, and it is likely that an enormous
crowd will take advantage of the reduced
rates, and attend what is said to be the
greatest show that has ever been pro
duced in Georgia.
THE HUSH TO AUGUSTA.
There are three routes out of Savannah,
and the Savannabian who wants to at
tend the fair will have a hard timeof it in
making a selection. Two of the lines, the
Central and South Bound, will run special
excursion trains through to Augusta, and
into tho grounds, while the Charleston
and Savannah will carry passengers for
Augusta on its regular train, making con
nections for the Electric City with the
Port Royal and Augusta at Y emassee.
The Central will put. on the Nancy
Hanks for the run,Thanksgiving day being
a special occasion. The Hanks will be out in
holiday trim and will make the run to
Augusta in just throe and half hours, be
ing scheduled to leave Savannah at 6:30
a. m. standard time, or 7:OS city time, and
arrive in Augusta at 10 a. m. It will be a
lively race between tho Central and the
South Bound, which lias also put on a
special for the occasion. The South
Bound will leave the Central depot at
6:45 standard time, or 7:26 city time, just
fifteen minutes later than the Central and
is scheduled to arrive in Augusta at tho
same hour, 10 a. m.
A RACE OF TRAINS.
The runs of these two trains will be
watched with interest. Both roads have
been enterprising and both have many
friends. Everybody will want to hear to
morrow which got there first.
The train on the Charleston and Savan
nah railroad will leave Savannah at 6:40
am, standard time, arriving ac Augusta
via the Port Royal and Augusta railroad
at 12 o'clock noon. Another train by the
same line will leave in the afternoon at
3:25 standard time, and arrive at Augusta
at 8 p. m.
The fare by all lines is $3.15 for the
round trip and the tickets will be pood
for three days. Another matter of inter
est to Savannahiaus will be which car
ries the largest crowd.
TOO NEAR THANKSGIVING.
Council Couldn’t Get a Quorum to Try
Appeal Cases.
The special session of council called
last night to hear appeal cases adjourned
for lack of a quorum, there being only
six aldermen present, being one less than
the number necessary to constitute a
quorum. The members present were:
Mayor McDonough, Aldermen Haines
Myers, Wells, Bohan, McMillan and Fol
liard.
The cases which had been set for a
hearing were those of McCor
mick and Miller. Yamacraw saloon
keepers, who were fined by the mayor for
violation of the Sunday law.
McCormick, it will lie remembered, was
convicted upon the evidence of four young
men, passengers on the Gate City from
Boston, on their way to Florida, who
were caught by Policeman lvavanaugh
coming out of McCormick's saloon, and
who testified to having obtained drinks
there.
The testimony of these witnesses were
recorded in the police court All four of
the witnesses are now out of the state
however, and the point has been made
that their testimony cannot be used on
this account.
It may be neeessarry to have them
brought back into the state in order to
allow of the use of their testimony.

to have its effect in inducing immigration
and bringing here a class of people that
tho south most wants.

TO HELP THE BANKS.
The Board of Trade Memorallzes Con
gress.
The board of trade adopted resolutions
yesterday memoralizing congress to en
act a law relieving the banks which
issued clearing houso certificates during
the financial stringency by a return of the
10 per cent, tax on such issues. The res
olutions areas follows:
Whereas The banks In some of the cities
of this and other states were induced,
during the recent financial stringency, from
which the entire country suffered, to issue
clearing house or other certltlcates, to re
lieveor avert the troubles arising from a
scarcity of currency In their respective com
munities. and
Whereas. The courts which have jurisdic
tion of the matter. may. In the strict exercise
of their functions, decide such issues to be
to. hnically in violation of the United States
statute bearing on the subject, ami
Whereas, It is patent to all that the issues
in question were not made by the. tnnks
which put them out, as a source of profit to
themselves, or with the intention of*evading
the law forbidding the issue of anv other cir
culating medium than nuticna hank notes,
hut in the discharge of what they consider,
under the circumstances, a duty to the public,
and that said certificates wore withdrawn
from circulation and cancelled as soon as the
emergency which called them into existence
had passed, therefore, be it
Resolved. That the Savannah Board of
Trade respectfully and earnestly petitions the
congress of the United States to pass an act
relieving any and all batiks which may have
issued such certificates during the time and
under the conditions above slated, from the
pains and penalties prescribed in the statutes.
Resolved further. That a copy of theso reso
lutions be sent to eaih of the senators and
representatives from Georgia In congress,
and they are hereby requested to urge that
the desired action be taken.
The resolutions, in tho opinion of many,
do not seem necessary in view of the at
torney general's opinion that clearing
house certificates are exempt from taxa
tion.
THE DIFFERENTIAL AGAIN.
Too Much Cotton Going to Norfolk to
Suit South Atlantic Ports.
The matter of the removal of the dif
ferential freight rate on cotton to the
South Atlantic ports, which is said to
have been done by the Southern Railway
and Steamship Association at a meeting
held in New York, is exciting much dis
cussion among the commercial bodies of
these ports and they will make a de
termined effort to have the usual rates
maintained.
The Savannah cotton exchange will
take the matter in hand and endeavor to
preserve the differential rates in force, as
the removal of them works a manifest
injustice to the ports on the South At
lantic seaboard. It lias been noticed for
sometime past Norfolk has been
getting more than its usual share of the
product at this season of the year, and
this announcement from New York that
the differential has been partially re
moved by tho association, seems to ac
count for it. The commercial bodies of
the South Atlantic ports are not going to
submit to this discrimination if there is
any way out of it, but if there is not. they
may have to put up with it as best they
can. They will make a determined effort,
however, to soe that the southern ports
have the same advantages as the north
ern ones, and that they get their full
share of the product.

Their yell will no doubt be heard as they
drive from the dei>ot to the Pulaski
house, and soon after it will be mat with
theringing“Hah! Rah 1 Rah! Savannah,”
of the home team.
There will be a delegation of Univer
sity men at the train to meet the club
when they arrive. All preliminary ar
rangements have been made and they will
be well cared for while here. Besides
thefifteen men who willeompose the team
and substitutes they will be accom
panied probably by some of the professors
and a number of their fellow students.
TO BE CALLED OK TIME.
The game will be called promptly at 3
o'clock, city time, at the Bolton Street
Base Ball Park. The game, including
the intermission of ten minutes between
the two halves, lasts just an hour and
forty minutes, the two halves being each
of forty-five minutes' duration.
The grounds have been well prepared
for the game and there will be no com
plaint on that score. The bleachers at
the eastern end have been swung around
so as to give the players full room, and
the field has been laid off facing the grand
stands running from east to west. This
will give all the spectators a full and
clear view of every feature of tho gamo.
The portion of the grand stand which was
torn off by the storm lias been repaired
and everything is in shape for the comfort
and convenience of the crowd.
There will be no smoking allowed in
either of the grandstands on account of
the fact that a great number of ladies
will attend and there will be a good many
of them in both.
No questionable characters will be

allowed on the grounds during the game.
THE WEATHER PROSPECTS.
The prospects last night were for a fair
foot ball day, though the promise was not
the brightest for entirely fair weather.
The weather bureau was somewhat
embarrassed last night in making any
forecast, as no reports are ever sent in on
a night before a holiday, theso being a
pre-requisite to a perfect prediction. The
latest reports that have been received to
indicate what the state of the weather
may bo camo yesterday morning at 8
o'clock.
The outlook yesterday morning from
the Washington weather map was that
there would be showers this morning fol
lowed by clear weather in tjie afternoon.
The local forecast made last night with
out the aid of reports from any of the
other stations was not more encouraging
It calls for pretty fair weather with par
tial cloudiness followed probably by
showers, with colder weather to-night or
to-morrow morning. It will be seen that
there is some doubt about the showers,
and it may be that they will not show up.
The boys are looking for a good day,
and it is hoped that they will be
fortunate in securing it, but it may be put
down as certain that the g3me will be
played whatever may bo the state of the
weather.
THE FOOT BALL FIELD.
The diagram published herewith illus
trates the field upon which the game of
foot ball is played and this, taker, in con
nection with the explanation of the game
given in yesterday's Morning News, will
give a fair idea of the situation.
The diagram illustrates the positions of
the men of the opposing sides as they be
gin the play. The field is 330 feet in length
and 160 feet wide. Besides the lines and
boundaries designated on the diagram,
live-yard lines are marked off for tho con
venience of the referee injdetercnining how
far the ball has been advanced at every
down. The goal posts at each end of the
field are 18 feet 6 inches apart, with a
cross bar 10 feet from tho ground, and
the posts are projected several feet above
the cross bar.
If there is a wind blowing this after
noon the team that wins in the toss up for
choice of goal or kick-off, will of course
choose the goal from which the wind is
blowing, but if there be no advantage in
this respect, the winner generally takes
the ball, and the loser can then take
whichever goal he iikes. In the second
half of the game the goals are cliuuged,
and the kick-off is given to the other
team.
AT THE GROUNDS.
The grounds and spectators at a foot
ball game, present a sight worth seeing
in themselves. Every body wears the
colors of their favorite team' and the dif
ferent groups cheer loudly for the boys
they favor. The maroon and white for
Savannah, and the scarlet and black of
Athens, will be seen throughout tho
grounds. Brilliant colors will be flying
from every coat lappel and the enthu
siasm of the game will excite everybody
to the yelling point. The colors ordered
out by the Falk Clothing Company for dis
tribution among friends of the the two
teams, adorned with tho gilt letter em
blems of the contestants will arrive this
morning and will be given to all who ap
ply for them.
Tho University Club will attend in a
body and every member will wear the
scarlet and black. They will give the
Athens boys a right royal reception.
Bryan Williams’ bulldog Bragg, the
mascotte of the Savannah team, will have
it in for the Athens mascotte, and will be
one among the prominent features of the
day's game.
TitE SAVANN AH BOYS.
The Savannah boys are all well known,
and will have crowds of friends at the
game to cheer them on to success, if suc
cess be theirs. Likewise there will be
fair eyes there who will look for success
to the scarlet and black, for the univer
sity finds in the young ladies who for
merly attended Lucy Cobb Institute,
hearty sympathizers in almost every part
of the state.
The Savannah boys have been devoting
a great deal of time to practice, and their
team is in fine working condition. The
average weight of the team is between
lftS and HiO, while that of the Athens
team is 157. Weight, therefore, will not
be much against the visiting team, and
the success, wherever it may lie, will de
pend on, perhaps more largely than any
thing else, the team work. The Savan
nah men are not relying too much on their
weight to darry them through, and they
are by no means so confident of success as
they would like to be, still they are de
termined and will give their opponents
one of the hardest struggles they ever had.
The Savannah team will meet at the
Pulaski House at 10:30, and will take
lunch with the visitors before going out
to the grounds.
AN ATHENS VIEW OF THE GAME.
The following special from Athens re
ceived last night will give an idea of how
the game is looked upon there:
Athens, Ga., Nov. 29.—The following
team left for Savannah to-day to repre
sent the University of Georgia in the foot
ball game, which takes place on Thanks
giving day in that city: Left end, Wrig
ley; left tackle, McCutchen; left guard,
Black; center,Nally: right guard, Smith:
right tackle, Fleming; right end. Fricks;
quarter back and captain, Butler; left
half back, Halsey; right half back,
Shackelford; full back, H. Brown.
Murphey and Selman went as substi
tutes, P. L. Fleming as manager and Mr.
Ernest Brown as coacher.
The expense of the trip prevented a
large crowd from accompanying the teg in,

will spend 1 hanksgiving day at borne, and

stirring old college yell. Among them
are mentioned Messrs. F. E. Richmond,
E. C. Ilya's. Robert Butler, D. C. Barrow,
3d, W. A. Wilkins and others.
DEPRIVED OP A GOOD PLAYER.
The toam has been deprived of one of
its best players b.v the temporary absence
of Louis Warren, of Macon, who played
tackle. Brown, the star half-back of the
cloven, sustained an injury in the recent
Nashville game, which will prevent the
Savannah audience from witnessing some
brilliant playing. The vacancies thus
created have been filled, however, with
men who differ in no great degree of skill
from those who at first held the positions.
That the game will be intensely and
thrillingly interesting is beyond doubt,
for the Athens team is resolved to have
victory or die in the attempt, meanwhile
bringing the Savannah surgeons more
noses, legs, and ribs to repair than they
ever had before.
The University ha3 been defeated twice
this season in the first instance, it is
claimed, by unfair action on the part of
the Technological school, and in the sec
ond by the Vanderbilt men, whose longer
experience gave them an advantage it
was Indeed folly for the University to
strive against; consequently her team
will work for its first victory with a
fierceness and determination to which the
fighting of tigers will not be a circum
stance.
SOME ATHENS PLAYERS.
It is by no means altogether on the
"sand” of her boys that tho University
bases her holies. Hard practice, train
ing and the experience of two intercolle
giate games, have developed them won
derfully. They now play a quick, closely
contested game; the tubli lino is stronger
than ever before, and their interference
and team work is excellent.
Shackelford, the left half back, i-uds
like a deer and at the same time can
carry two or three high tacklers along
with him. Brown, the full hack, bucks
the opposing line like a locomotive and
his punting is accurate and strong.
Halsey is rather light, and this is only
his second intercollegiate game, but he
comes up to the best in his running and
dodging, and his tackling ds 'sure and
heavy.
Butler at the quarter, Nalley at center.
Fricks at end, and. Indeed, all the men
are worthy of praise.
The men have been posted by their
coach. Mr. Brown, of Cornell, on all the
latest foot ball tricks and methods of the
day, and the game, as they present it, is
thoroughly up to date.
The boys expect to find a large number
of frieuds in Savannah wearing the red
and black of the university and shouting
their yell when they arrive.

Brilliant Wedding of Mr. T. M. Cun

Woodbridge.
Christ Church the Scene of an Event
Long to Bs Remembered—The Cun
ningham-Woodbridge Nuptials Cele
brated in the Presence of a Throng
of People—The Church a Bower of
Flowers and Palms.
At 6:30 o'clock last night Christ Church
was brilliant with lights, and flowers, and
feathery palms, and pretty women in
dainty evening gowns—all in honor of the
marriage of Miss Lilia Clifford Wood
bridge to Mr. T. Muvhew Cunning
ham, Jr.
The chancel looked as if fairy fingers
had been at work, converting its bare and
severely religious aspect into a bower of
beauty. And when the spaces between
the palms and flowers were filled with the
graceful forms of the pretty bridesmaids,
Uae whole made a picture well worth see
ing.
The church was crowded, nearly half
of the middle aisle being reserved for the
families of the bride and groom. While
one could admire the exquisite mingling
of harmonious colors in the different toil
ettes, it would be impossible to describe
them in a limited space.
The music was a special feature of the
wedding. While the guests were arriv
ing, Miss Coburn, the organist, played
Kubensteins Melodie in F, and de Koen's
“O. Promise Me.” And during the
ceremony, the soft, sweet notes of “The
Angel's Serenade,’’ with violin obligato
by Mr. Leon, lingered on the air, tilling
one with sadness in spite of the joyful
occasion—the sadness that Jean Paul
says lies in all music, “because it speaks
of things that in all our life we find not,
and never shall find.”
At the stroke of the half hour, the
organ pealed forth the wedding march
from Lohengrin, and the ushers, Messrs.
J. Randolph Anderson, Wylly Wood
bridge, Arthur Whitehead, John Cars
well, William Henry Schley, Will
iam Hartridge, C. A. L. Cunning
ham and Julian Hartridge, marched
up the side aisle, and took their position
in the back of the chancel, just as the
bridesmaids, led by the maid of honor,
Miss Lina Woodbridge, entered from both
sides of the chancel, and walked down
the middle aisle, two by two, to meet the
bride.
As they reached the ribbon, little Miss
Sarah Cunningham and Miss Bessie
Shotter stepped forward and held the
ribbons apart for the bridal party to pass
through, which they did, the bridesmaids,
still led by the maid of honor, coming first,
followed by tiny Miss Mildred Cunning
ham, sister of the bride, who was her
second maid of honor, and who im
mediately preceded the bride, who en
tered leaning on tho arm of her father,
Mr. T. M. Cummingliain. The groom and
his best mau, Mr. Richard Cunningham,
were in the chancel waiting, and as the
bride approached the former stepped
forward and led her to the altar.
The little maid of honor, who wore a
fascinating Kate Green way gown of white
satin, occupied a most important position,
as she carried the ivory prayer book and
presented it to the rector, Mr. White,
who, after reading the ceremony, from it,
gave it to the bride, Miss Mildred, in the
meanwhile, holding the bride’s bouquet
and fan. The bridesmaids were Miss
Janie Cunningham, Miss Virginia Cun
ningham, the Misses du Bignon, Miss
Thomas, Miss Kate Brigham, Miss Love,
from Chicago, and Miss Cohen, from Au
gusta, and wero dressed in pink crepe
gowns, trimmed with white satin ribbon,
and carried white chryansthemums tied
with broad pink satin ribbon.
The bride wore a beautiful gown of
embroidered white silk, en trame,
trimmed with magnificent round point
lace, tulle veil, and the regulation wreath
of orange blossoms, and carried a large
bouquet of Niphetos buds. As soon as
the ceremony was over, the bride and
groom led the way down the aisle to
tho strains of Mendelssohn's wedding
march, followed by the maid of honor
and the best man, and after them the
bridesmaids and ushers.
Mrs. T. M. Cunningham, the mother of
the bride, was dressed in a superb black
moire trimmed with white satin and jet;
Mrs. C. A. L. Cunningham, in a very
artistic lilac brocade; Mrs. C. A. L. La
mar, long black silk; Mrs. Cunningham,
grandmother of the groom, in handsome
black satin: Mrs. F. G. dußignon, pink

chrysanthemums, and conspicuous on a
table just in front of a largo mirror was a
magnificent basket of orchids, roses and
lillies of the valley, a present to the bride
from Mr. and Mrs. Richard Somers
Hayes. After the reception the bride and
groom took the 9 o’clock train for the
north. On their return they will reside
on State street, and it is a subject of con
gratulation that so charming a girl is not
to he taken away from our city,* as from
her childhood Miss Woodbridge has en
deared herself to old and young, by
her hcautifnl manners, her graceful tact,
and her bright, happy disposition. Mr.
T. M. Cunningham, Jr., is a promising
young lawyer, being member of the firm
of Lawton & Cunningham, and has
already made quite a name for himself.

Mr. John Powers and Miss Mary Caro
lan, eldest daughter of Mr. Michael Caro
lan, and sister of Messrs. Janies and John
Carolan, were very quietly married at
St. Patricks' church yesterday morning
by Rev. Father Quinlan. The marriage
was a surprise to the many friends of the
contracting parties, as it was known to
the family only. Immediately after the
ceremony, the couple left for St. Augus
tine on their honeymoon.

BROTHERHOOD MEN TO MEET.
St. Andrew’s Council at St. Paul’s
Church To-Night.
To-day being St. Andrew's day. special
services will be held by tho Brotherhood
of St. Andrew in St. Paul's church, at
Duffy and Barnard streets, at 8:15 o'clock
to-night, to which the general public, and
especially young men, are cordially
invited.
Unusual efforts have been made to have
the service of an interesting character.
Bright and brief talks by a number of
well known laymen will be made, and ex
cellent singing is promised. A special
choir has been in training for some time,
and with the new organ will make sweet
melody.
The Brotherhood of St. Andrew is an
organization in the Episcopal church “for
the spread of Christ's kingdom among
young men.” It was formed in Chicago
about ten years ago ami has spread
rapidly until now it has about 1,000 chap
ters and 11,000 members. It does a great
deal of active church work and since its
formation in the three churches in this
city, the young men have been taking a
very active part in the work of the church.
The order has been recognized by the
church at several of its general conven
tions by unanimous action of the house
of bishops and the house of deputies.
The last convention of the order recently
held at Detroit was attended by over 500
men. and was the recipient of much at
tention and admiration at the hands of
the people of Detroit.
To-night’s meeting is the second regu
lar meeting of the Savannah council of
the brotherhood and it is expected that
it wilt he a great success. The council is
composed of the three chapters of the
brotherhood in this city, one in each
church.
The programme for the meeting is as
follows:
Hymn 450.
Evening Prayer.
Hymn 341.

ness meeting of the council, after tho
public meeting.
"JANE” COMES NEXT.
Kitty Cheatham To-morrow and Sat
urday at the Theater.
"Jane” will be the attraction to-mor
row and Saturday evenings, and Saturday
matinee. The play is a farcical comedy
with a plot—a stage curio in these degen
erate days of plotless entertainments.
Besides that it is an ingenious and intri
cate plot, in which the unexpected is
always happening, and it affords abun
dant fun. It is all the more enjoyable be
cause It Is so well interpreted. Of course
the central figure is Kitty Cheatham,
who plays "Jane” with spirit and clever
ness. Her little roguish ways, her unique
topknot and her assumption of the airs
and grifres of a lady stamp her as an ar
tist in this line of comedy work. Her
schooling in Daly's Toeater Company has
given her methods a finish not often dis
played by more experienced players. She
is the granddaughter of Gen. Cheatham,
of Nashville, and therefore warmly ap
peals to the southern heart for the en
dorsement she may merit. “Jane” is
preceded b.v the usual "curtain raiser”
“Chums,” which in this case is a neatonc
act bit from the pen of Thomas Frost.
The attraction is under the direction of
Charles Frohman.
John Dunham Dead,
John Dunham, Esq., a well-known citi
zen of Mclntosh county, died in this
city last night. The, deceased was 79
years old. and had resided in Mclntosh
county for forty years. He had been
sick for some time, and was brought
here for treatment about two weeks ago,
but his disease was of such a character
ns to render medical attention useless.
The body will he taken to Liberty county
and buried in the family burying' grounds
at Jones creek. Mr. Dunham has a sister
and several other relatives who live in
this city.
