QUARANTINE TAKEN OFF.
me Restriction on Travel to and
From Brunswick Removed.
The Inspectors at Southover Called
In—No Household Goods or Merchan
dise to be Admitted From Bruns
wick, However, and Bagg-asre Only
When Bearing a United States Ma
rine Hospital Surgeon's Certificate.
The Quarantine in Force Continu
ously 78 Days, and 107 Hays Alto
gether.
Brunswick is free once more. At a
meeting of the sanitary board yesterday
it was decided to raise the quarantine
against persons coming from that city,
the lateness of the season rendering this
action safe in the opinion of Hr. Brun
ner and the surgeons of the marine hos
pital service stationed in the yellow fever
district.
The following resolutions were adopted
by the sanitary board:
Resolved, That quarantine against .Tesup
he remnvei excepting household effects and
stocks of goods consisting of textile fabrics.
Packed baggage consisting of wearing ap
parel only will allowed to enter the city
with certificates of the marine hospital ser
vice attached.
Resolved further. That all transportation
companies be notified or these regulation-,
and that the said companies Ist notified not
to receive for transportation to this city
stocks of goods, household goods and packed
baggage except under the regulations stated
above.
I.ITTI.E DANCER NOW.
While very probably there may he a
few more cases of fever in Brunswick be
fore the end of the year, the authorities
agree that the danger of conveying the
infection to other points is small. Cases
occurring so late in an epidemic are
usually very mild
The work of disinfecting houses and
contents at Brunswick by the marine hos
pital service is now going on, and with
the aid of the. cold weather, which is ex
pected soon, it is hoped that the city will
soon be entirely free of the disease germs.
Savannah's health authorities have de
termined to run tho smallest possible
risk, however, and for that reason, no
household effects or stocks of goods will
lie allowed to be brought into the city
from Brunswick for some time yet.
Surgeon Murray, at Brunswick, and
Surgeon General Wyman were notified
yesterday of tho action of tho sanitary
hoard. The milroid authorities were
also furnished copies of the resolutions.
The six remaining sanitary inspectors
who have been on duty on the Savannah,
I lorida and Western railway have been
withdrawn by Dr. Brunner.
A LONG QUARANTINE.
Savannah's quarantine against Bruns
wick has been continuously in force since
Sept. 13, or two months and eighteen
days. Quarantine was first declared
against Brunswick Aug. 12, when the
first case of yellow fever, that of ill-fated
Surgeon Branham, was reported. Only
three cases of fever occurred during
August, or rather only three were report
ed. and on Sept. 10 the quarantine was re
moved. having been kept up for twenty
nine days. No cases were reported
for sixteen days before the
quarantine was declared off the
first time, but Dr. Brunner and the
marine hospital surgeons aresatisfled that
there were cases of fever in Brunswick
during that time which were not re
ported. either through ignorance or be
cause of intentional concealment on the
part of the local physicians. The second
period of quarantine lasted for seventy
eight days, making a total of 107 days
during which quarantine was maintained
against Brunswick.
Quarantine was declared against Pen
sacola. however. Aug. 10, two days previ
ous to the declaration against Bruns
wick. and quarantine was also
in force for several weeks against both
Tampa and Pensacola. Quarantine was
also maintained against .lesup during
October and the early part of November.
A STRICT ENFORCEMENT.
Mayor McDonough and Health Officer
Brunner, together with the other mem
bers of the sanitary board, used every
effort to make the quarantine as near
perfect as possible, Dr. Brunner adopted
the principle of a rigid quarantine from
the start. It is hardly to be doubled
that for the rigid system of
quarantine enforced by the city
the plague would have made
its way hero. The quarantine was a
cheap luxury, however, all things being
considered. Its total cost against the in
fected points will not exceed $4,000 if it
reaches that figure. Considerable addi
tional expense was incurred in improving
the sanitary condition of the city and its
6urroundiugs, especially after the storm
of Aug. 37, where all the low lands around
the city were flooded. The greater part
of this expense, however, would have
been necessary in any case.
THE SURVEY BEGUN.
Chief Engineer Hunter Takes a Book
at the Tybee Bo ad.
Chief Engineer William Hunter, of the
Central railroad, went down the river
yesterday accompanied by Mr. Richard
M. Screven, assistant engineer, to begin a
survey of the Tybee railroad, in accor
dance with the agreement between the
two receivers of the Central and the com
mittee of bondholders and property own
ers on Tybee Island, which was appointed
some time ago to see what steps could bo
taken towards rebuilding the property.
The receivers consented to have thesur
vey made and make a report on it to the
bondholders of the property, who will meet
Dec. 14 to consider the re|>ort made. The
survey was begun yesterday, at least tlia
preliminary portion of it was taken up,
but it is not known how long it will take
to finish it. It will probably be com
pleted, however, by the time the meeting
of the bondholders is held. Doe. 14, and
they will decide whether they want it re
built or not.
It is impossible to forestall the bond
holders' action with regard to the matter,
though they are all known to be favor
able to having the property repaired, o:t
account of the large values which will bo
restored thereby to property on the
island, which is in great part valueless
without some means of transportation.
TO TALK ON KINDERGARTENS.
Mrs. Olive Weston to Lecture in Sa
vannah Next Week.
Mrs. Olive E. Weston, formerly of Chi
cago, now principal of the training school
for kindergartens at Jacksonville, Fla., is

tion of children, and the kindergarten
system of teaching.

THE PEOPLE ARE COMING.
Savannah Will be Crowded With
Visitors Next Week.
Savannah's first trade excursion next
Tuesday from Gainesville and intermedi
ate points along the line of the Savannah.
Florida and Western railway it is be
lieved will be one of the greatest suc
cesses in the history of the city's trade.
From every point along the line of the
route of the excursion the v. ord comes
that the i>eople are interested and that
large crowds will he here. It looks now
as if two sections of the excursion train
will have to be run to accommodate the
people who want to come to Savannah.
'1 he country newspapers along the line
have shown their good will to Savannah
by publishing extensive notices of the
excursion.
Mr. W. R. Benson, the representative
of the Merchants’ Trade Association, has
been steadily at work for the last
ten days distributing advertising
matter and working up inter
est in the excursion generally.
He reports the liveliest interest all
throughout South Georgia and Florida.
Fully 1,000 people he thinks will take ad
vantage of the cheap rates.
The success of the Merchants’ Trade
Association, which was only recently or
ganised. has been remarkable. The re
tail merchants generally have recognized
the importance of the movement and
have gone into it almost unanimously. It
required very little work to bring the
majority into the movement and the esti
mated amount required monthly to earn
out tho plan was readily subscribed.
Many merchants who took no interest in
the merchants'week celebrations, and who
might consequently have been expected
to be lukewarm towards the present
movement, surprised its promoters by en
tering readily into it and cheerfully sub
scribing their monthly pro rata. A few
merchants only remained out, and even
they have now begun to see the point.
Half a dozen merchants voluntarily came
forward yesterday and added their names
to the list. Asa consequence of the unan
imity with which the merchants have
taken hold of the enterprise, the finances
of the association are now in first-class
condition, and it lias ample funds on hand
or subscribed, with which to carry out
the plan of weekly excursions during the
busy season.
As one of the leaders of the movement
put it yesterday, “the first requisite to
success is hearty and united co-operation,
and we have that in such large measure
that we have reason to be confident of suc
cessful results."
The executive committee wishes it fully
understood that no advertising matter of
any kind in the interest of any firm,
whether connected with the movement or
not. will be allowed on the excursion
train. The committee has been given en
tire charge of the train by the railroad,
and this order will he strictly enforced.
The only advertising mattej
which will he allowed will
be the souvenir of the association, which
will give the names of the merchants who
contributed to the excursion and the par
ticular line dealt in by each firm men
tionen; also the newspapers of the city, in
which the merchants are recommended
to advertise liberally. The souvenir was
prepared by Mr. J. A. Bates, and is now
being gotteD up the Morning News. It
relates the advantages enjoyed by Savan
nah as a commercial and trading point,
and the inducements offered to pur
chasers. The souvenir was necessarily
hurriedly gotten up. The suovenirs for
the subsequent excursions will be more
elaborate, and will enter in more detail into
the exposition of the advantages enjoyed
by Savannah.
An interesting and pretty little circular
gotten up by Mr. ,1. A. Bates, has been
issued to the merchants by the executive
committee, calling upon them to urge
what they have to offer upou the visitors
in the most effective and attractive
manner. “What will it profit a merchant
if the whole world comes to town and
don’t buy anything,” is the motto which
heads the circular.
As the advice of an experienced adver
tiser one paragraph of the circular at
least is well worth quoting:
“Offer 'Special Excursion Day’ bar
gains; out prices on leaders in all lines
so that buyers will go home happy
and tell their friends what bargains they
got. Make attractive window displays;
placard your windows and goods with
•Excursion Day’ signs aud prices. Ilatig
out your banners: make some stir; adver
tise liberally. Proclaim the advantages
of Savannah as a shopping point and
back up your claims with prices that can
not be knocked out.”
The arrangements for the second ex
eurson by the Central railroad, on Dec.
12, have been completed. The excursions
will be run from Gordon on the main
stem. Waynesboro on the Savannah and
Augusta railroad, and Lyons on the Sa
vannah ahd Western. The excursionists
will also embrace the Milledgeville
branch, the Dover and Statesboro rail
way, the Midville and Swainsboro rail
road, the Millen and Southern railroad,
the Sylvania riilroad, the Wrightsville
and Tennille railroad, the Wadley and
Mount Vernon, and the Louisville and
Wadley railroads. The train will arrive
in Savannah at 6:20 at night, and the
tickets will be good returning on any
train during the next forty-eight hours '
There is no doubt that this excursion
will bring down a large crowd.
Arrangements will he made in a day or
two with tlie South Bound railroad for an
excursion by that line on Dec. 10.
DR. DAVIS ON HYGIENE.
He Gives the Y, M. C. A. Boys a
Practical Talk.
The reading room at the Young Men's
Christian Association was filled last
night with men, young and old, to hear
Dr. M.T. Davis lecture ou ’‘Hygiene.’’ The
audience expected something good, and
it was not disappointed. The practical
nature of Dr. Davis remarks, stripped as
they were of as much medical phrase
ology as possible, served to keep the close
attention of bis hearers.
"1 have been requested,” said Dr. Da
vis, “by vour secretary, to give you a plain
talk, and 1 shall comply with his request
iu accordance with tho letter of the law—
for the well of my fancy, if I ever had
any, has long since gone dry, and the
very nature of my calling precludes
the possibility of my dealing in meta
phor or hyperbole.” Dr. Davis di
vested his subject yf all technicality and
of any mystery which might shroud it,
and handled it in such a manner that
those not students of medicine clearly
understood it. At tho conclusion of his
lecture Dr. Davis was cheered heartily,
and Mr. K. F. Cunningham made a mo
tion to tender him a vote of thanks, which
was unanimously agreed to. The musi
cal part of the programme was omit
ted through the absence of Mr. Dorriiee,
the secretary, but the boys waited at the
lmll, expecting he would show up in time.
During this wait Dr. Elliott made a short
address, in which he exhorted the
audience to profit by Dr. Davis’ remarks.

THE MORNING NEWS: SAT UR DAI. DECEMBER 2, 1893.
WEDDED IN SPITE OF PAPA.
James Pardue and Clarkie Jeffrey Join
Hands in Carolina.
A Stern Parent Stood in Their Way In
Savannah—Tillman’s State, Where
No Marriage License Ie Needed, Be
coming a Haven for Lovers Whose
Path to Matrimony Is Beset With
Difficulties.
The details of a Thanksgiving runaway
match came to light last night in the ar
rival of Mr. and Mrs. James G. Pardue
from Beaufort on the steamer Alpha at 6
o'clock.
The couple left for Beaufort on the
Alpha at 11 o'clock Thursday morning.
The bride's name was then Miss Clarkie
K. Jeffrey. She lived with her father,
John Jeffrey, a drayman, at No. 280
Gwinnett street. She is about 17 vearsof
age, a dark brunette, and good-looking.
Mr. Pardue is a tinner and is employed
at E. C. Pacetti's tinshop on Jefferson
street. He is 21 years old and has been
paying attention to Miss Jeffrey for some
timo. Both of the young people had
made up their minds to a marriage. Miss
Jeffrey's father objected, however.
Whether he disliked his would-be son-in
law or whether bethought his daughter
too young to marry is not known, but
anyway he was opposed to t he match.
The young people w ere determined on
marriage, however and laid their plans
for a Thanksgiving surprise. Thanks
giving being a general holiday they
concluded that their movements were less
likely to be observed than at another
time. So Mr. Purdue engaged passage
for two and at 11 o’clock Thursday morn
ing he ami Miss Jeffrey sailed down the
river on their way to that paradise of
Georgia lovers when stern parents in
terpose—South Carolina. They arrived
at Beaufort after dark and immediately
sought the services of Rev. James W.
Kilgo, the Methodist minister, who soon
made them husband and wife. No mar
riage license is required in South Caro
lina and all that is needed is for a couple
to join hands and have a minister speak
a few words and tho agony is over.
After the marriage the couple went to
the Ocean house, where they spent tho
night. They left on the Alpha for Sa
vannah yesterday morning, arriving at 6
o'clock, and went at once to the home of
the groom at No. 9 1 Roberts street.
1 A-roy Davis, of this city, a friend of the
grooms was present at the marriage.
AT THE THEATER.
Miss Kitty Cheatham Given a Hearty
Reception.
Miss Kitty Cheatham, Gen. Cheatham’s
granddaughter, made her first appear
ance in Savannah last night sinca she was
here several years ago,as “Jane” in Froh
man's comedy. She plays the central
figure, and the character would seem to
have been especially written for her, but
for the knowledge that the play was se
cured in Ixmdbn over two years ago.
Prior to its production in London it was
also a success in Paris, where it origi
nated.
Miss Cheatham was. until recently, a
member of Daly’s Theater Stock Com
pany, in which organization she shared
equal honors with Ada Kehan. She was
born in Nashville. Her social interests in
this city being very extended, her engage
gagement here is more than an ordinary
event. Miss Cheatham is a lady of
charming manners, and is a
social as well as stage favorite.
She is a delightful actress, and
her portrayal of “Jane” is most effective.
“ Jane," might be fairly termed an inter
national comedy, since it bears a record
of over 800 performances in Paris and
London, and has already scored nearly
1,500 performances in this country—over
1.000 of which have been given in New
York. Boston and Philadelphia. The
play has. of course, undergone certain
adaptations that its French, English and
American transplantings necessitated.
Paris first saw it, then London some
months later, and it was still many more
months subsequently before Charles
Frohraan captured it for its present
American career. It will be repeated at
a matinee and to-night.
Mr. Losey’s Impersonations.
The second entertainment of the regu
lar course of the Young Men’s Christian
Association will be given next Thursday,
Dec. 7, at Masonic Temple, and will be an
evening of impersonations by Mr. Fred
erick D. Ixisey.
Mr. Losey is very well known as a
special artist in his line. In fact, ho may
be said to have created anew style of
dramatic art. Ho has made monologues
out of plays that have hitherto required
many artists to interpret them; that is,
Mr. Losey will in turn represent both by
facial expression and intonation, the va
rious characters in the play, and in each
the representation is so perfect that the
enchanted spectator loses sight of the
reality that one man is doing all that lie
sees.
This will be Mr. Tosi .v’s first appear
ance in this city, and it will give savan
nah an opportunity to see him at his best,
and to share in the pleasure that other
cities have experienced in hearing him.
For instance, the Nashville American
says of him and his entertainment: “As
tho scenes grew in interest his wonderful
power became more evident, and the
thrilling climax found the entire audience
wrought up to the highest pitch in sym
pathy with tho reader. At the close there
was enthusiastic applause throughout the
audience.”
Among the clever pieces of work pre
sented by Mr. Losey are “Martin Relph”
and "Oliver Twist,” both of which aro
finished performances, and have been
very successful wherever presented.
No doubt Savannah will show its appre
ciation of this elevating and cultured
style of entertainment by a large attend
ance.

THE SOUTH’S CRACK SHOTS
The Proposed Rifle Tournament for
Savannah.
There are few cities, if any, in the
country, and probably none in the south,
that have as many crack rifle shots as Sa
vannah.
The proposition of the range committee
of the Wheelmen's Track Association, to
give an enterstate rifle tournament in the
spring, probably eariy in May, bringing
together the best shots in the south, will,
it is believed, be adopted by the various
military and civilian marksmen's organi
zations, and the result will be a tourna
ment that has never been equalled in the
country for sharp shooting
Owing to the membership of the crack
shots of Savannah in two and sometimes
three and more clubs or organizations
which would come into competition in
team shooting, the supremacy of none of
the military companies aud the rifle dubs
has been established, except, perhaps the
Savannah Rifle Association, the oldest
organization of its kind in the county.
In the totimament classes will be ar
ranged for both military and civilian or
ganizations. or they may enter in general
competition. The plan is to increase the
range at the park to 300 and perhaps 500
yards for long distance shooting.
There is very little doubt that Sa
vannah would hold its own in the tourna
ment. It has a dozen or more men wliuse
shooting on the Massachusetts and Amer
ican targets, both of which are far severer
tests of marksmanship than the Creed
moor target, will stand in any contest.
Among the best sohts in Savannah are
C. S. Richmond. Dr. C. A. Wilson. Dr. J.
D. Martin, J. C. Posted, D. Y. Dancy,
George X. Cann, W. N. Nichols, Capt. J.
P. White, Julian Schley, E. A. Cutts, J.
T. Shuptrine, A. S. Eichberg and Harry
Palmer.
The championship medal of the Savan
nah Rifle Association is held by Rich
mond. His record up to Thanksgiving
day on the Massachusetts target was >3lB
out of a possible 800—30 shots at 300 yards,
an average of 53, made Nov. 25, 1892.
This record he broke day before yester
day by a score of 214* out
of a possible 240—20 shots, an
average of 531£. His highest score for
five shots is 58 out of a possible 60 with
four twelves and one ten shot. This
record has never been excelled in Savan
nah though it was equalled by W. N.
Nichols, Dr. J. D. Martin and Dr. Wilson.
Richmond is in time of service the young
est of Savannah's crack shots. His first
team shooting was at Asheville two
years ago when the Savannah Rifle Asso
ciation teams defeated the North Caro
lina teams. Last summer he made
a record at Hornellsville, N. Y.
and he now holds the championship in
Savannah, having maintained it by
weekly contests at the range for over a
year. His best record is live consecutive
bull's eyes made at half a dozen contests.
This, however, has been equaled both by
Dr. Wilson, Dr. Martin and Mr. Dancy.
The rivalry of tho next annual contest of
the Rifle Association is between Rich
mond and l)r. Wilson, and their practice
shooting is being closely watched.

The S., F. and W.’s New Schedules

Train 23 to Leave Savannah at 2:29
o’clock a. m., Putting the Morning
News Into Points Between Here
and Jacksonville Before Breakfast.
Trains 5 and 8 Go Back on With Ad
vantageous Changes in Their Sched
ules—A Change in the Havana Con
nection—A Sleeper on Train 6 for
Tampa via Dupont, High Springs
and Pemberton.
The passenger schedules on the Savan
nah, Florida and Western railway have
been completely’ and thoroughly revised.
Trains 5 and 6go back on. There is to be
anew local train, tho new route to
Tampa via High Springs and Pemberton
has been opened up, and important
changes are to take place in the running
times of almost every passenger train on
the road. The changes go into effect to
morrow morning at 7 o’clock.
The changes in schedule have added
materially to the passenger service of
the road, and its through con
nections north and east, and
they will be greatly appreciated by the
traveling public and those who ever have
occasion to use any of the lines of this im
portant route to the South Atlantic and
Gulf states.
The falling off in the travel contingent
upon the y’ellovv fever epidemic in Bruns
wick caused the withdrawal of several of
the passenger trains, which was, never
theless, an inconvenience to those who
still wished to use the route for business
purposes, and for a time there was much
complaint about the inconvenience in the
lack of transportation facilities. The re
modeling of these schedules furnishes the
service wanted, and in many respects
there will be decided improvements in
the running of the trains as compared
with that of last year.

STILL HANGING IN COURT.
The Question as to Who Shall Ap
point the Stevedore to Load a Vessel.
Mr. T. D. Ravenel has just returned
from Baltimore, where he has been to
argue before Judge Morris, of the United
States circuit court there, in behalf of
the defendants, the case of Abram P.
Thompson, master of the schooner Will
iam Neely, vs. the Burse Sons & Cos., of
Wilmington, Del.
The defendants were the charterers of
the schooner which they’ sent to Savan
nah to get a cargo from the Georgia Lum
ber Company’. The master reported here
for his cargo, and announced that he
wanted a stevedore by the name of Sam
Daniels, colored, to load the vessel. To
this the Georgia Lumber Company would
not agree, claiming that Daniels was an
objectional party, as he had worked for
them before, performing his duties in a
most unsatisfactory manner. Capt.
Thompson claimed that he had the right
to name the 'stevedore, and would not take
on the cargo unless they would agree to
let Daniels load it. He said Sam or nobody’,
and as the Georgia Lumber Company
would not consent to this, Thompsou re
mained here his full time, and returned
to Baltimore, where found a cargo be
longing to the Burse Sons & Cos., and at
tached it for time lost here. The suit
was pending in the United States admir
alty court in Baltimore, and the whole
question seems to be as to whether
Thompson had the right or not to insist
on the appointment of a Certain stevedore
when ho was told to name any other reli
able man, and the appointment would be
satisfactory.
The Georgia Lumber Company made
the claim that it had the right to veto any
objectionable party named by the master,
and while the company was not a party to
the proceedings the Burse Company made
their suit out on this line. It seems that
it has been customary here and elsewhere
when a shipper is silent for the master of
the vessel to name the stevedore, but in
this ease Thompson, it is said, named the
stevedore he wanted without giving the
shipper any notice whatever. Judge Mor
ris reserved his decision in the matter,
but it will no doubt be interesting to ship
pers and others here to know what is de
cided with regard to who has the right to
name or appoint the stevedore.
It may be interesting to know that
while the William Neely lay at the Geor
gia Lumber Company's wharf Daniels en
tered the place and was ordered out. He
refused to go, as he stated that he had
been employed by the captain of the ves
sel. He was arrested and prosecuted for
criminal trespass in the city court. He
was convicted, and his case was then
taken to the supreme court where the de
cision of the lower court was reversed, on
the ground that the wharf of the Georgia
Lumber Company was not such a place
as a man was forbidden to enter under
the criminal trespass statute.
CITY BREVITIES.
Yesterday was an off day with the
police, only one case being on the docket
up to 4 o’clock.
Frank Barker’s condition remains the
same. At times he has possession of his
mental faculties, hut generally he is in
an unconscious state. Barker is the
longshoreman who was injured by a fall
ing cotton bale on the steamer Imperial
Prince several days ago.
The material for rebuilding the Tybee
telephone line has arrived and the work
upon the line will begin next week. The
line will, probably, be completed before
Jan. 1. The lack of telephone communi
cation with Tybee has been a source of
great inconvenience since the storm. It
frequently happens that agents of vessels
are anxious to hear from the vessels at
quarantine, or to know if the vessels have
arrived. The rebuilding of the line will
be a welcome addition to the facilities of
the port.
Acted in Self Defense.
Mr. E. T. McEvoy, mention of whose
arrest for pointing a pistol at a negro
woman was made in Thursday’s Morn
ing News, states that he merely acted in
self defense. Mr. McEvoy collects the
rent for Mr. R. D. Guerard's houses.
He was attempting to eject Eliza Col
lier, colored, when she resisted and came
near creating a riot by calling unon her
neighbors for assistance. Mr. McEvoy
was threatened by a mob with sticks and
axes and only drew his pistol to keep off
the crowd. He immediately gave bond
and was released.
Punta Gorda’s New Mayor.
Mr. John J. Sullivan, of Punta Gorda,
who was last week elected mayor of the
place, is a son of Mr. M. M. Sullivan, the
well-known fish dealer of Savannah, and
a partner in the firm of M. M. Sullivan
& Sons. He has charge of a large fishery
at Punta Gorda and has taken quite a
prominent part in the business of that
section. Mr. Sullivan recently married a
Miss Hanley of this city, a sister of
Lawrence Hanley.

STEINWAY
PIANOS
$25,000 EACH,
PRICES TO SUIT THE TIMES,
No joking about it. Read the fnl
lowing from the American Art Jour
nal, of New York:
“The Art Journal last week pub
lished a beautiful full page illustra
tion of the famots grand piano sup
plied to Henry G -Uarquand, for which
no less a sum than *25.000 was paid
The instrument was made by Stein
wav and sent to London, where Its en
tire exposed surface, inside and out
was decorated -by Alma Tadema with
appropriate and emblematic designs
This piano was afterward exhibited in
London at the Grosvenor Art Gallery
and many thousands viewed its mag
mfleent paintings.'’
A big price for a piano. BUT It was
a STEINWAY, and no matter what
the price it was worth it.
Not so many *25.000 STEINWAYS
sold in Savannah this year, but plenty
at more moderate figures
*525 buys a lovely Upright Stein
way, and the larger styles in fancy
cases, from *6OO to *I.OOO. J
Prices but little higher those of
many pianos not actually worth half
as much.
