SOCIETY NOTES.
The Gay Season Has Opened and
Yonng People Are Happy.
Some of the Entertainments That
Have Been Announced The Meeting
of the Soiree and German Clubs.
Weddings Past and in Prospect.

terest.
The pay season has opened in fine style,
and the young people are in for a good
time right along all through the winter.
With receptions, the germans. three soi
rees. besides all the private entertain
ments that come later, society is evidently
astir. The debutantes are bound to have
a good time: they can't helpit, with their
sweet fresh faces, and their half timid, at
tractive manners, to say nothing of their
swell clothes. The Savannah men know
haw to appreciate attractive young
women and they are especially loyal to
the home girls ; likewise the Savannah
girls to the home men. They
are cardial and generous to visiting girls,
and are even more eager, if possible, to
give the visiting lady first place. Conse
quently. there is no more popular city
than Savannah among the young people.
Going to Savannah always means having
a good time, and sometimes it means re
turning to permanently remain in the
city. A stranger remarked last Sunday,
in passing through the park, that all the
Savannah girls were good-looking and
WeU dressed.

"SUDDENLY EXPLODED.”
If the Expression !* Ever Justifiable,
It Is in Connection With Dynamite.
From the Detroit Free Press.
I was winding in and out among the
hills of Pennsylvania on a railroad train
when seized with a desire to smoke. The
smoking car was an ordinary one, and
about half filled with men in blouse and
overalls, smoking clay pipes. When f se
lected a seat I found a leather bag on the
floor and gently kicked it out of the way.
It moved in a grudging way, and I sat
down and put my feet on it. I had smoked
my cigar about half up when one of the
miners, having finished his pipe, knocked
the ashes out, lounged over to me, and
said:
"1 wouldn’t bear dosA too hard, mis
ter."
"Oh, the bag!’’
"Yes; I wouldn’t kick too heavy on it.”
“Got some tools in there you are afraid
may get broken, eh.”’
"Wecall it dynamite, sir!”
"Great Scott, you don’t moan to say
“Yes, it s dynamite, - ’ he 'quietly ob-
Servcd. as he sat down beside me and
reached for the bag. "I suppose you've
seen it put up in cartridges before now.'
You knowhow we use ’em! I believe
they estimate that each of these ten
cartridges has the force of ’’
"Don’t take them out!" I yelled,
shrinking as faraway from him us pos
sible.
"Of course, sir. but there is no occasion
for alarm. I’ve been handling dynamite
in all shapes and forms for the last fifteen
years and never had an accident. You
must have concussion to explode one of
these, sit-, and who’s going to tap this one
with a hammer, or fire it out of the win
dow against a rock!”
"But be careful not to drop it on the
floor. Ugh! Is there any more of the
stuff in this car?”
"Quite a tidy bit of it, sir. There’s
twelve men of us. and I guess we would
scare up about 100 cartridges like these if
you wanted to see them,”
•‘No! no! I’ll be thankful enough if JI
get clear of your ten without being blown
through the roof. How much rock, for
instance, would one of these cartridges
bring down?”
"How much rock? Well, that would be
according to the lay of things. If it was
a cliff with a goodly overhang to it, and
this cartridge was placed just right, the
downfall would be enough to build a fine,
large warehouse, with a few carloads of
small pieces left over for making pave
ment. If it was plumb up and down cliff
without any seams or crevices, and the
stone was hard and tough, a -few pieces
weighing 200 pounds or so would bo all
you < ould reasonably expect. It’s beauti
ful scuff, sir, beautiful, and the man who
invented it was a genius.”
"But you are diggiug your own heels
into that bag!” 1 shouted, as he moved his
hob-nailed boots around without the
slightest care.
"So I was, sir, but as long as there was
no explosion no harm has been done. It’s
agin the law to throw dynamite cartridges
from a car window, or I’d give you an ex
hibition worth seeing. The good old days
seem to have passed away."
"What do you mean by the good old
days!”
“Why, the time when one could fling
one of these things out of the window and
make a hole in a ledge large enough for
the den of a bear. What brought out a
law agin it was the mistake made by a
near-sighted man. He threw a cartridge
at a ledge, which he supposed was all of
thirty feet away, while it w asn’t actually
over eight. The result was that a piece
of rock weighing 100 pounds struck the
first passenger coach, smashed its way in.
and I believe a man and his wife were
killed. They had poor Jim in jail for a
year, and everybody cussed his eyes in
| stead of feeling sorry that they had de-
ceived him. That’s why they passed the
law, sir, and I'm ufruid the good old days
will never return This can no longer bo
called the land of liberty.'’
"You’ve seen people killed by the stuff.
I suppose!" I said, as he played witn a
cartridge as if it were a ball
"Well, onet a piece of rock weighing
250 pounds scraped my cap off as it flew
along to strike my partner in the breast,
but I didn’t exactly see him die. you know.
He died—oh. yes. The foreman said that
if poor Ned had been struck by the l’itts
burg city hall lie couldn't have died any
faster nor been in worse shape to gather
up. As to about a dozen others, I’ve seen
'em standing on a particular spot, been
knocked down myself by the concussion,
and reached my feet again to find a hole
in the ground broad enough and deep
enough to bury a span of horses in. The
persons had vanished. I can t say whether
they went up or down, though we some
times did find evidences in the treetops to
show they mostly went up.”
"How horrible to be wiped off the face
of the earth in that manner!”
"Well, it's better than Deing smothered
in a coal mine or run over by a train of
cars. Did you ever see the big hole in the
ground over at Fox Hill!”
"No.”
"That's a place worth seeing, sir.
There were fourteen miners in the party.
I obelieve. They were carrying a lot of
dynamite and sat down to restand smoke,
tine of them built a fire to roast some
chestnuts, and it is supposed that a stick
of dynamite came in contact with it.”
"Why supposed
“Because there were none of the four
teen left to explain matters, you see.' One
instant there were thirteen men enjoying
their pipes about a fire in the woods
while a fourteenth was shoving chestnuts
into the fire. In the next instant there
was a boom bang earthquake which
rattled the windows ten miles away, and
people reached the spot to find a hole in
the ground 21 feet long, 16 feet deep and
14 feet wide.
"The grave of all!”
‘•Well, hardly. There was no need of a
grave. I believe they found some frag
ments half a mile away in a treetop, but
not enough worth burying.”
"And have you no fear of such a de
stroyer!”
“Not the slightest. It’s beautiful stuff,
as 1 said before —much nicer and cleaner
to handle than any other explosive. I
was taken with gun-cotton for a while,
but this beats it out of sight. Fond of
witnessing explosives, sir!”
“No, iudeed, I’m not, iid I won't
breathe till you men are off the train, it
ought to be against the law to carry
dynamite around in this reckless fash
ion.”
“What! More laws agin it! When the
day comes that a poor, honest blaster
must go on foot because lie is obliged to
carry about a few dynamite cartridges, 1
shall want to leave the country. Some of
us get off at this next station, while the
others go a little further down the road.”
“Well, be careful,” I said, as I left the
smoker and went back to the rear coach
and to tlie last seat in that.
At the next station the train side
tracked to let the express pass. Four of
the miners got off and started up the
mountain road in the direction of a
quarry. The man I had talked with
looked along tiie train until he saw my
face at the window, when lie held up a
cartridge and laughed and gave it a toss
in the air. When he started on again his
three companions were many rods in ad
vance. A dozen of us were watching him
as he broke into a trot to overtake them.
He wasn’t" 100 feet from tiie train when he
stumbled and fell- there was a puff of
flame and smoke—the ear windows shiv
ered into atoms—a deafening crash, and
the man in the seat ahead of me called
out: ,
■ 'That's dynamite, sure!”
Everybody was up to look at the spot.
There was a hole in the ground deep
enough to take in a hogshead, a lot of
twisted roots from the nearest tree
chips and splinters of stone, and fnw
ments of flesh, cloth, and leather Nott
ing more—the miner had vanished off the
face of the earth. n llle
