The entertainment of the Emmet Rifles
„<• Houston, Tex., now Company C of
First Texas Infantry, by the Robert
Emmet Association at the Emmet Hall
jj, s t night, was one of the pleasantest
t the many pleasant interchanges of cour
l. hj- between the citizens of Savannah and
members of the Seventh Army Corps.
For four hours the 'Texas' boys drank
01 I feasted with new-found friends, and
l #u ned to songs and speeches by soldiers
h: t citizens. The affair was an Informal
collation, where good fellowship and
1.,-artjr cordiality prevailed, and at the
i lose it would be hard to say who was
most pleased with their share in it, hosts
or guests.
(’apt. Franklin and his company of about
ninety men came into the city from the
,amp of the First Division about 8 o'clock
and proceeded to the Emmet Hall, at Bay
and Abercorn streets, where they found
a number of the members of the Emmet
Association gathered to receive them.
Tho company was accompanied by the
First Texas hand, which furnished excel
lent music throughout the evening.
Two long tables running the length of
the hall exactly accommodated the guests
and the friends of the Emmets. The
tables offered an ample supply of good
i lings, such as it is seldom the lot of the
soldier to come up against. In fact, it
is only stating the truth to say that the
soldiers have encountered suoh hospitality
B s has been extended them here nowhere
< Isc than in Savannah, and it is to be
feared that there will be many regrets
on tliis score when the Seventh Corps de
parls for Cuba.
President P. J. O’Connor of the Emmet
.V.-orialion sat at the betid of the table,
on his right was Capt. Thomas H. Frank
lin of the Emmet Rifles, Company C, Fir3t
Texas, and on his left Capt. Edward Leon
ard, late of Company L of the First Geor
gia. In near by seats were Capt. R. A.
Scurry. Company A, First Texas, Capt.
Thomas I. Muir, Company C, Second Illin
ois; Capt. Paul B. Lino, Company A. First
Illinois; Lieut. Thomas A. Kelleher, Bat
(ery A, First Maine Heavy Artillery;
Lieut. T. J. MoConlogue, Company B, Sec
ond Illinois; Hon. E. J. Doyle of Michi
gan and Walter C. Hartridge, Esq., of
Savannah. *
After heavy inroads had been made upon
the tables President O’Connor extended a
cordial welcome to the guests of the even
ing. Knowing the previous history of the
Emmet Rifles and learning that they were
a part of the Seventh Army Corps, the
Emmet Association could not let the op
portunity pass, lie said, without showing
them some mark of esteem.
Mr. O'Connor spoke briefly of the prin
ciples for which Emmet fought, and dwelt
lor a moment upon the hope of the realiza
tion of the desire of Emmet. Mr. O’Con
nor spoke of the genius of American liberty
as the torch which had lighted France to
liberty and was now' about to light Cuba,
i'orio r.ico and the Philippines to liberty,
lie spoke of the impending departure for
Cuba and closed with a toast to the health
of the officers and men of the Emmet
Rifles.
Capt. Franklin replied, thanking the Em
met. Association for a pleasant and delight
ful evening. Of the many pleasant recol
lections of Savannah that of the Emmet
Association would be the brightest. “We
shall always cherish among our fondest
recollections the Emmet Council of Savan
nah, Ga.,” said Capt. Franklin.
The members of the Rifles then gave
three cheers for the association.
Capt. Sterrett of the First Texas said
he always found that he hall a good time
when he got mixed up with the Hibernians.
Sergt. Cronan of the Rifles was called
upon. He is the oldest member of the
company and was given a warm reception.
The sergeant made a good speech, includ
ing some remarks in Gaelic, which he in
terpreted to mean that the Emmet Asso
ciation had invited the Emmet Rifles one
and all to their banqueting tables.
Hon. Walter C. Hartridge was intro
duced by the chairman and made one of
his naturally eloquent speeches. It was
peculiarly appropriate that Texans should
be entertained by Georgians, he said, and
lie alluded to Hood's Texas Brigade, which
contained a Georgia regiment. Mr. Hart
ridge spoke of the services of the Irish
Jasper Greens in the Mexican war. He
said he was not surprised that Spain
capitulated when she heard that an Irish
Texas organization was prepared to back
up tho regulars. Such an era of good
tooling has never prevailed in this eoun
"y as prevails now as the result of this
war. Mr. Hartridge said: “Whenever 1
see the American private volunteer sol
dier ] take off iny hat to him, the men
"ho dig the trenches and fife the guns.
He represents the true essence of Ameri
can patriotism. We are greatly indebted
'o Spain for uniting this country and
when these people stand together there is
nothing on earth can resist hem.”
Lieut. McConlogue of the Second Illt
10is was called upon, and briefly expressed
ins pleasure at being present.
Lieut. Kelieher, First Maine Artillery,
f ing an Irish song, which was loudly ap
plauded.
Lieut. E. A. Leonard of the Irish Jasper
Greens, late captain of Company L of the
l irst Georgia, was enthusiastically called
lor. Lieut. Leonard, in responding, eaid
•hat he was always proud to speak to the
boys in blue. He felt that every man who
wore the uniform should always be ready
to respond to his country's call. While
' apt. Franklin had stated that he had the
“nly Irish-Amerlean organization in the
I'nited States army, if the President want
'd the services of the Irish Jasper Greens
be could have them to-morrow. Thy had
'esponded to their country's call, and
while they did not have the opportunity
1 f going to the front, they went with the
"< termination of doing their duty wherever
• might be. If the Irish Jasper Greens
!, J the Emmet Rifles of Texas could have
cot the enemy together there wouldn't
have been Spaniards enough left to tell
ihe tale, he said.
Judge Doyle of Michigan was called upon
'nd responded with an eloquent address
upon the American soldier, which greatly
tnthused his audience.
The whole programme was informal,
but this only made the occasion more
pleasant. It was nearing midnight, when
Capt. Franklin and hia men bade their

hosts, farewell and left the hall, so late,
in fact, that there were no more street
cars to camp. This contingency had beeu
foreseen, however, and the army wagons
were on hand to save the boys from
walking. It is safe to say that Company
C of the First Texas will always have a
pleasant remembrance of the Emmet As

THEY WILL TO-DAY
Continued from Eighth Page.
the Mihnewdska did not go to sea the
day before after easily making the trip
down past the city. Pilots and others
familiar with the river when asked about
the matter, said that the explanation was
very simple. The high northwesterly
gales which prevailed Monday curried the
water out and combined with the neap
tide which fell on that day caused the
lowest depth of the river for the year.
Hd the Mionewaska gotten off pronytt
ly on the tide she could have made the
trip, but as she was delayed in getting
away from the dock it was not deemed
best to take her out with winds and tide
both combined against her.
The transport Roumanian and the gov
ernment supply ship Comal both arrived
yesterday between 1 and 2 o’clock.
The latter arrived partly load
ed, and will complete her cargo
here. She will take 1,500,000. rations
to be distrlouted among the destitute Cu
bans. The Comal will call at several of
the Cuban ports, dividing her supplies
among them. Maj. Ruthers, depot com
missary, when nsked what the rations
to he sent on the Comal would consist
of. said they would consist of the stand
ard army foods, such as hard bread, ba
con, sugar, coffee, tomatoes and canned
goods. A ration that is good enough for
a United States soldier ought to be good
enough for a starving Cuban, and doubt
less there will be no kicks coming from
the Cubans on account of the quality of
the rations furnished.
AT THE THEATER.
“My Frlenil Front Inilia" Before a
La rite Audience—Minstrels To-day.
A crowded house saw Du Souchet's de
lightful comedy, “My Friend From India,”
last night, and if continued laughter was
a sign of enjoyment it was an appreciative
one.
“My Friend From India” is one of the
brightest and funniest farce comedies. It
fairly bristles with fun all the way through
and the dialogue is of that delightful style
which only an American audience can cp
preciate. The play was seen here lasL sea
son and the story is well known to theater
goers. The presenting company was ,-n
excellent one.
The following was the cast of charac
ters:
Erastus Underholt .... Chas. H. Bradshaw
Charles Underholt Ernest Warde
A*. Keen Shaver George Mack
Tom Valentine Lute Vroman
Rev. James Tweedle Chas. E. Mitchell
Jennings Forrest Seabury
Bill Finnerty Thomas Dodd
Marion Hayste Miss Ethel Strickland
Mrs. Beekman Street Miss Louise Arnot
Gertrude Underholt.Miss Mabel Strickland
Bernice Underholt Miss Madge Otis
Tjl l y Miss Ada Gilman
This afternoon and to-night Richards &
Pringles-Rusco & Hol.and's Minstrels will
be the attraction. The company numbers
over fifty people, traveling in its own
special train of cars. Its daily street pa
rade is said to be the largest given with
a minstrel company. The performance
consists of the usual first part, with
new scenery and costumes, new music,
songs and witticisms. The olio is made up
of twelve acts, which necessitates giving
the performance without a wait or drop
of the curtain. The press speaks well of
the company. The street parade will be
at 10 o’clock this morning.
“What Happened to Jones’’ will be the
attraction to-morrow night. A great deal
of ingenuity is exhibited in the story, and
the numerous ludicrous complications
growing out of it. The fundamental idea
is a fair sample of what is built upon
it. There is nothing improbable in the fact
of an old professor being induced by his
prospective son-in-law to go see a prize
fight, anti it is not at all unlikely that
such an affair could be raided by the po
lice. The drummer, Joifcs, escaping from
the place, could very well hide himself in
the old gentleman's house. And the mul
titude of gross purposes and entangle
ments to which these simple circum
stances give rise are well invented, even
if not tiue. The original company, in
cluding George C. Boniface, Jr., Frances
Drake, J. W. Cope. Mabel Montgomery,
Gerald Griffin, Helen Beil. Frank Cur
rier, Florence Robinson. H. F. Robert,
Mrs. E. A. Eberle, Lewis H. Newcombe,
and Ada Craven, attends lo the acting
needs of the occasion.
“The Heart of Maryland” will be seen
here Friday and Saturday nights and at
Saturday’s matinee. The theme of the
story is a woman's heroism when her en
tire being is controlled by the one ail
powerful passion—love. She bravely risks
her own life and casts into the balance
all the hopes of her future, in her strug
gle to divert pursuit of her lover and
his capture, which is to result in hi3 exe
cution as a spy. Few more effective
scenes have been presented upon the hi ago
than that In the old church tower in which
the heroine rushes up the staircase into
the hights of the belfry and wilh all the
energy of a last desperate effort clutches
the clapper as the bell swings, and thus
prevents the signal being rung that would
bring back her escaped lover to the igno
minious death of a spy to which he had
been sentenced by a drum-head court mar.

This Morning.
The divorce mill ground with its usual
ease in the Superior Court yesterday.
Some fifteen couples were granted tola!
or partial severance, the majority of the
parties being colored. In the most of case.;
the parties had lived together only n short
time and most of them were recent!;, mar
ried.
There was only one case contested, and
this furnished some amusement to the
court officials and spectators. Jarne= K.
Davis, according to his own" statement, is
a much abused man. He stfid that be was
married to his wife, Ellen, wTien ho -vas
only 20 years of age, she being IS to 20
years his senior and having two children,
one of them 19 years of age* The plaintiff
gave as his excuse for this iwarrlztro that
he was young and Inexperienced. This
was five years ago. Since then, he de
clared, his wife has made life a burden for
him, treating him cruelly and abusing him.
Site has also brought disgrace upon him
by persisting In piuylng policy against his
protest, and he has been forced to degrade
himself by visiting the various policy shops
and notifying tho clerks not lo sell her
tickets. The plaintiff claims that he was
afraid of his life and that he was afraid
to eat the fool which his wife prepared for
him for fear she would poison him. Ail
these things, lie thought, warranted him
in asking for a divorce.
Strange 10 say, the Jury did not agree
with him. but preferred the statement of
his wife, Ellen, who seemed to lie a re
spectable colored woman. The jury evi
dently thought that Davis was tired of
his wife, who is so much older than him
self, and was desirous of being free in or
der that he might contract a more youth
ful alliance. The verdict was for the de
fendant, and Davis will have lo put up
with the hardships of married life for a
while longer. As he has a barber shop
with four chairs she can compel him to
support her whether lie wishes to or not.
A total divorce was granted Mrs. Mal
tie L. Fricke from her husband, William
H. Frieke, on the ground of cruel treat
ment. Mrs. Fricke was allowed to resume
her maiden name of Stanley , and she was
granted the custody of her 8-year-old boy.
The parlies were married ia Pulaski comi
ty in 1892.
Meyer Tighter was granted a total di
vorce from Sarah Tishler on the ground
of desertion. They were married July 15,.
1894. and separated in the following No
vember.
Andrew Opry was granted a total di
vorce from. Bell Opry. They were married
in 1891 and she deserted him two months
later.
Lavinia Johnson was granted a total di
vorce from William E. Johnson and her
maiden name of Cashan restored, deser
tion being the ground for divorce.
The marriage of David and Malissa Neal
in March, 1894, was declared void, thq wo
man having a former husband living at
the time.
.Savannah Blackshear was granted a to
tal divorce from her husband Jerry Black
shear, who deserted her in Savannah last
year after seven years of married life.
Anna Burke secured a first verdict against
Randolph Burke, who deserted her* two
months after marriage, in 1892.
Janie and Reuben Curry were married
in May, 1895. Reuben deserted his wife
the following month and yesterday she
was granted a total divorce.
A first verdict was granted Laura .T.
White vs. Hardy White. They were mar
ried in February, 1593. ar.d the husband
deserted his wife one month later.
Five divorce suits were dismissed from
the docket, the parties having patched up
mattery or lost interest in the suits.
There are a number of other divorce
cases on the docket and the work of re
storing their legal liberty to deserted wives
and husbands will be resumed this morn
ing.
TOIIBEY'S BOLGII RIDERS’ RACES.
Tliclr Wild West Entertainment at
Thunderbolt Driving Park.
Torrey's Rough Riders, Second United
Stales Volunteer Cavalry's, exhibition at
Thunderbolt on Thursday and Friday
promises to be an auspicious affair. It
is understood that Gen. Lee has issued
orders that all drills in the Seventh Army
Corps will be suspended in order to al
low the soldiers to attend the entertain
ment.
The exhibition will be under the man
agement of Capt. Shanton, who is a fa
mous rider and roper, having been with
Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show for five
years. He conceived the idea of getting
up the present show for the benefit of a
number of the members of the regiment
who are at Jacksonville in stringent cir
cumstances, having been sick since they
were mustered out of service.
Broncho John Sullivan, master of trans
portation of the Seventh Corps, will give
an exhibition of pistol shooting. There
will be several races open to officers in
the corps.
According to reports, preparations for
an attractive and interesting wild west
show have been made, and with a patron
age from citizens and tho soldiers, it is
expected that tho Rough Riders will re
ceive a considerable fund to help out their
comrades, who are in need.
SICK SCHOOL CHILDREN.
A Toucher Speaks of the Cause.
I have charge of the second grade in
the public schools hero, and trace nearly
every case of headache among these chil
dren to improper feeding. When a sick
child is asked what was h id for breakfast,
the reply almost universally includes a cup
of coffee.
An illustration is that of my sister's
oldest boy, Will Wilson of Lennox, la.
For a long time he had no appetite for
breakfast, but insisted on coffee, which
they would give him, weakened some with
cream, but no matter bow little coffee
he had, it brought on his bad spells.
Since they have been using I'ostum Food
Coffee in their family, tho boy is well and
can have all the Dostum Coffee he wants
for breakfast.
I was ordered by my physician to quit
the use of coffee some time ago, for my
rick spells were directly traceable to it,
but I could not quit Its use until I found
I’ostum. Then the change did not disturb
mo in the slightest. The old troubles
have disappeared.
I have a long list of friends who use
Postum and enjoy it very much, but in
every case they have had to .barn that
Postum is only good when It Is boiled long
enough (o bring out the flavor. Margaret

speeches. Since being In Savannah, Col.
Guild has won quite a reputation ns a
speaker, and the success of Other occa
sions was not dimmed by his effort of
yesterday. *
Sergt. E. S. Elliott of the Hussars
quoted from two letters which Gen. Rob
ert E. Lee wrote in 1823 to Lieut. John AV.
Maekay, who was then engineer In charge
of the Savannah harbor improvement
work. Lieut. Maekay wns a class mate ot
Gen. Lec ntAY Ft Kciutianrt the two were
close friends, j Lieut. Maekay was a Sa
vanhian nud an anf'eshor of Sergt Elliott.
In a letter ,wrlt,'jer> 11 f.rom Arlington In
January, 1833„, Gen.oLqp said, in referring
to Savantiah:- “Savannah, a city for
whi h I have great afft etlon. We con
gratulate you on your happy location. 1
now look with perfcot. confidence lo the
future prospects of the city and Us worthy
people, since indirectly they are commu
ted to your care. How much mud do
you find In the channel and Have you de
termined to carry the sea to the < lty or
the city to the sea? Do you hail from
Coekspur or (rgm prottghton street?”
Lieut. MaekSy lived on Broughton street
at the time. , , ~yj
in another letter written the same
year from Fortress” Monroe, Gen.
Lee said in referring to a residence In Sa
vannah: “But where else should he lie
than In Savannah? That spot of siiots!
that place of places!! that city of cities!!!''
Sergt. Elliott referred to the almost
dally departure of the great
transports boa rip* troops for Cuba,
and which .will! soon carry the
Seventh Corps as a sure evidence that
the sea has been, ‘brought, lo Savannah
through the cfro'rts of Lieut. Maekay and
the ab'.e engineering officers that have
succeeded him.
Sergt. Eilio'd’c reference to the letters
by Gen. ISobf rt E. Lee was peculiarly fit
ting on t.u. rcca-Lu of the presence of
the Seventh C.Qrj'S’ commander. The let
ters themselves, though Yellow with age,
are well preserved. Whl’a'lngely of a
personal nature, Inspired by (he Intimacy
of Gen. Lee and Lieut. Maekay, they ex
press the warmest fading of friendship
which Getl'. Izn hail for Savannah and
Its people, and which existed during his
later life in the stirring events in which
he was a central figure.
Sergt. Elliott's remarks throughout
were in a happy vein, and brougtit cheers
from the troopers.
It was, after an hour most delightfully
spent that the officers, left .(their hosts for
the De Soto. They found their stay most
pleasant, and the occasion- is one that
will long be remembered by tho Hussars.
