MISS MARSHALL'S RECITAL.
An Evening of Itnre Music nt the
De Soto.
Miss Florence Marshall, assisted by Mrs.
C. D. Mize and Mr. George W. Beckett,
gave a most delightful concert at the De
Soto banquet hall last night for the be.
of the turfll for anew Masonic* Temple.
Upon her appearance Miss Marshall was
greeted with a burst of applause by the
audience, a most muFirjtl and sympathetic
one, and this show o? apprecia?i>n was
given after each number, at timfcs becom
ing a perfect ovation.
Her first piece, “Italian Concerto,” by
Bach, as indeed oil of her numbers, was
rendered with a vim, a finish and touch
that did not disappoint her hearers, and
showed that she possessed the genius of a
true artist, and had the mentality to com
prehend and truly to interpret the great
composer. Nor did Beethoven sufft r by
her interpretation of his Sonata, Opus 31,
No. 3.
One of the most difficult, and at the same
time beautiful numbers was the Etude in
G flat, by Chopin, which, on account of
rapturous app ause, had to be repeuted,
although in the middle of a set of four
pieces which Miss Marshall played at one
sitting. Indeed it was impossible for the
trained musician to follow the wonderful
lightness of her fingers in the rapid parts
of her numbers; and the audience seemed
enchanted and as under a magic epfeli.
as she played the soft lulling passages of
Chopin's “Fantasie Impromptu,” an l
then gradually carrying her auaience with
her increased si>eed until in a roaring
storm of thunderous harmony she thrilled
them to their deepest depths. At the end
of the third number, which was a wonder
ful performance, showing magnificent
ability seldom equalled by any pianist
that has been heard in Savannah, and cer
tainly excelled by none, Mb** Marshall re
tired to the ante room amid n perfect ova
tion of applause from a delighted and sur
prised audience. Her last numoer was a
fitting climax to what was an Increasingly
beautiful &caU of beautiful compositions.
This was ;• prelude of Rnohmnnikoff, the
Spinning Song, Wagner-Idszt. and “Rhap
sodic Mongroise” No. 8 by Liszt, the last
which is a marvelously beautiful composi
tion, was played by Miss Marshall in a
manner that showed she was in full sym
pathy with the composer. At its conclu
sion, in response to the continued applause,
she was compelled to respond. As the
recall piece she gave the Etude in F minor
by Chopin.
Mr. Beckett also won a wurm recepiion
for his singing of Couchois’ beautiful and
passionate “Arabian Romance.” To the
recall on which the audience insisted he
sang “Were In Star,” Hnwle.
Mrs. C. D. Mize sang in her usual finish
ed and charming manner “My Heart at
Thy Sweet Voice,” St. Saens. The audi
ence continued to applaud until she re
turned and sang “Robin Adair.”
The concert was a most decided success
both from an artistic and a financial
standpoint.
DIVORCE HUTS FILED.
Riolinril Burn* Clurc'S Hl* Wife
With Hueer Acts of Cruelly.
Several suits for divorce were filed yes
terday In the Superior Court. Among them
was that of Richard Burns against his
wife, Mary J. Burns, a case that is likely
to prove of considerable interest when it
Is brought to trial.
The plaintiff alleges that he wns married
more than a score of years ago. In New
Haven, Conn., and that'there are now liv
ing three children, the issue of the mar
riage. It is stated that the divorce is sought
on the ground of cruelty, and the facts
aleged in support of this are sufficiently
pecuiiur to be ol more than passing lnter
err.
It Is stated that shortly after the mar
riage tho wife Induced the husband,
through his great love and affection for
her, and by means of cajoleries, that the
feminine mind is capable of conceiving
and carrying into execution, to deed to her
all of his real property, amounting to
(20.000 or more. More than this she after
wards made of him an object of contume
ly and contempt in his own household, and
with his neighbors, refusing to treat him
with the love and respect to which his
status aB her husband entitled him, and
neglecting him for the society of unprin
cipled men.
The acts of cruelty of which complaint
Is made continued, it is said, for a number
of yeais, but became especially and un
bearably aggravating in 1898. During that
year, the plaintiff declares, he coull en
dure the persecutions to which he was
subjected no longer and was compelled to
Rave his wife. He has not lived with her
since. He asks for a total divorce and
for the custody of his children.
Kate Crosby has also instituted suit for
divorce against her husband, Daniel F.
Crosby. She charges that her husband de
serted and abandoned her In 193, after
three years of married life, and that since
that time he has consistently refused to
live with or support her. She seeks in her
petition the custody of the child of the
marriage, a boy of eight years, and asks
that the name she bote before her mar
riage to Crosby, Katie E. Timberlake, be
restored to her. She is represented by Mr.
Thomas L. Hill.
Ida H. Ward has Hied suit for divorce
against her husband, George H. Ward,
and Simeon G. Webster one against his
wife. Olivia D. Webster. In both cases
cruelty is iho ground upon' which the di
vorce is sought. Beth plaintiffs a>e repre
sented by J. H. Klnckle, colored.

SHRINBRS AT THH FAIR.
In I)rr.a Suits n<l Fenl Tliey Made
the Ronj.da of tl.e Ilootlt*.
Last night at the Masonic Fair was de
voted to the entertainment of the Shrinera,
who, nearly fifty strong, and arrayed in
dress suit and fez, marched from the ledge
room and took supper at the fair. The
members of the ladies auxiliary of the
Shrine, Itooth also wore the insignia of the
order, each having on a while fez at and
many being further adorned with healtoy
sized, dun colored camels, the pecuiltr and
sacred animal of the order.
Altogether the Shriners and the mem
bers of their auxiliary presented av, ry
pretty picture, and a piquant and dl-t no. ly
Oriental aspect to the Turkish smiting
room where a large number of them drift
ed during the evening.
Resides the Slirlner* the fair had a num
ber of other honored guests in the pers n.
of Mayor Herman Myers and th' aider
men, his guests, who came out after Coun
cil meeting and lock supper.
Politics being settled now, for the lime
being, the attendance of the public show* and
a decided and gratifying Increase, and the
receipt* were, correspondingly large.
The Shrine booth was probably the cen
ter of attraction and did an excellent bus
iness. Among the many beautiful arti
cles presents during the day we:e two
aprons, one hand painted, a center piece,
and a pair of baby boots, ali given by
Mrs. W. S, Rockwell of White Bluff. An
other present was a set cf Ice c T enn [la ca.
Landrum booth received as gifts a pink
fascinator from Miss Maud Barnwell, two
b. autiful wat r colors, done and given
by Miss Hoj P*. and a la’ y sack and
handkerchief case given by Mrs. Lanier.
A grab bog will be the attraction at this
booth this afternoon.
Ancient Landmaik bo th received a val
uable bale of cotton from Mr. G. E. Dick
enson, and awarded an infant's bonnet,
and and ess suit cast.
At Zvrubbabei booth a number of small
articles were disposed of. The voting con
test for the doll was closed last night and
the result will be announetd to-day. The
donkey party for children at yesterday's
matinee proved quite an attraction and
added a neat sum to the receipts of the
day. The han’some cap" at this booth
wiil be disposed of to-night.
The Command ry booth also did an ex
ctllent bus ntss last night particularly in
the sale of options. A handsome basket
of flowers was one of the awards of the
evening. One of the presents received was
a beautiful bu eau scarf received from
Atlanta.
The country stole contlru and Its prosper
ous career. At Solomons brct.i a valuable
bat was awarded, as was also a center
piece.
Clinton booth was in receipt of a val
uable present in the form of a bedstead
given by a firm of Dublin., The awards
were a number of fancy articles and a bot
tle of cordial. The handsome buggy which
was given to this booth has.only a few
options left on It, and as soon as these
have been disposed of will be awarded.
The lemonade and candy booth contin
ued Its rea ly excellent business.
At the Marks’ shoe booth, besides the
disposal of a number of shoes a magnum
of champagne, also a sofa pillow was
awarded.
The matinees, which will be continued
each afternoon of the week, will be ren
dered especially attractive frem to-day on
by the presentation at the door of a gift
to each child that presents an admission
ticket.
To-night will be ladies’ night, and there
is po doubt that one of the largest crowds
of the season will attend.

Graceful Children Entertained a
Large Audience.
Thn annual May hall of Mrs. Ruby
Nlcoll’s masters' and misses’ dancing
classes at tho Guards' Hall last n'ght was
enjoyed as greatly as are all the enter
tainments given under her Instruction,and
the audience testified by applause, com
pliments and offerings of flowers and
candy to their appreciation of the grace
and beauty, of the pupils. At the opening
of the programme the attendance was not
large, but It grew steadily during the
evening, until finally all the seats were
taken.
Several of the numbers on the pro

ICING’S DAUGHTERS’ OONVENTT© U.
Three Sessions Held Yesterday Clos
ing: With u Reception.
The King’s Daughters held three sessions
yesterday. The morning eesri.n began at
10:30 o'clock and was devoted principally
to the reports of the Credential Commute’,
consisting of Mrs. Holt, Mrs. Fruror, and
.Misses Kennedy, Middleton, ar.d Balter.
The report showed twenty-six accredits!'
delegates entitled to take part in the work
of the convention; a number of proxies ha 1*
been conferred among the visiting dele
gates by circles that had no del gate in
attendance, but, by the rules cf the order
these proxies were not recognized.
The meeting was called to order by Mrs.
C. A. Rowland, state secretary, who re <S
a [tortion of scripture, and then requ- slel
Mrs. Isabella Charles Davie, the national
secretary, to take the chair.
The first business was the confirmation
of the minutes of the last annual conven
tion. At the suggestion of Mrs. G. 1. Ta.;-
gart, who stated that these minutes had
already been published and were widely
circulated among the members .*f the eoi
ventloii, the minutes were not read, but
were confirmed without any further hear
ing. Mrs. Taggart then read the minutes
of the preceding evening which were ap
proved. Mrs. Rowland's report followed.
She said tiiat during the three years of her
secretaryship the work had l>een carried
forward rapidly and successfully and that
now the. membership of the order in this
state lacked only eight of b’ing VOO.
At the conclusion of Mrs. Rowland's re
po t, Mrs. Davis paid her almost glowing
tiibute, stating that she knew of to mote
faithful worker than tnis lady, who, dur
ing all of the three years of hj-r incum
bency of the office of secretaire the
order In Georgia 1 ad never cnee forgotten
her charge. She closed her evllogy with
the wish tbai the state order should be
able to give to lids secretary something
mere substantial than mere rhanks "Per
haps," she said, “at a not far distant day
it may be prssible to pay the Incumbent
of this posit on a salary.”
M:s. Rowland, who is also the treasurer
of the state society, read a report show
ing a balance cn hand of $19.39.
The question of hlp for the Georgia In
dus riti Home was ag.ain taken up. Two
of the detera’es from Macon assured the
chair that It was a worthy institution and
in every way deserving of help. The mat
ter will be discussed lafcer.
The meeting was to bo adjourned at 1
o'clock, but it was much lat“r than that
hour when the business was finally fin
ished. At 4:30 o’clock the work wr.s taken
up again, this time consisting of the read
ing cf the reports of the circles. Eleven
reports were read, one being of a local
circle of King’s Sons, one of a local circle
of King’s Daughters, and the remainder
of clicks at different parts of the state.
They all show the order to be in a most
flourishing condition, and constantly In
creasing both in etlicacy for good and in
numbers.
The reading of these reports took up
the entire afternoon. The convention was
adjourned fer the second time ah*ut 7
ocioek, but met again at 8:15 to enjoy a
talk by Mrs. Davis and a programme of
rnus'c and recitations that had been pre
pared under the direction otf Mrs. Sllva-
Tessdale and was given by her pupils.
Mrs. Davis reviewed briefly the work of
organizing that hod been don© in the South
and said that 14 showed, not human
strength, nor energy, nor the result of
wisdom of the mankind, but proved that
anything could be done when undertaken
“In His Name.” She was proud, she said,
of the work of the order, and of the mem
bers who composed It, and she prayed that
Its usefuines would be continued and in
creased.
At the end of her address an excellent
programme of music was given, os fol
lows:
Quartette, "Row. Row, Gently Row,”
Quint—Misses Wilson and Morgan, Messrs.
Bpilng and Teasdalo.

second, "The Sympathetic Sanderab.”
At the conclusion of the programme re
freshments were served to all the dele
gates, the ladles who had assisted In the
ntrtalnment. and to the vlslors.
The attendance at all of the meetings so
far, has been exceptionally large, and the
ladies are very much gratified.
This morning a session will be held
from 10 o'clock until 1, when the meeting
will be adjourned for the day. Tho after
noon will be spent at Tybeo, where the
visiting delegates will be the gusts of the
Savannah Union.
Before adjourning, however, an informal
ballot for the next state officers of the or
der will be taken. The regular election
will be held on Friday morning.
VICTIMS DISCUSSED RESULT.
CnuillUates Ascribed Their Defeat In
Part to a Lack of Money.
Many powwows of the defeated candi
dates In Tuesday's primary were held In
the various kopjes yesterday. Many of
them were sorely and exceedingly sore,
but most of them managed to hold up
their heads, look the result In the face
and accept the Issue with the best possi
ble grace.
Various explanations ef the result were
offered. Tho most frequently urged and
the most plausible were that the "bar'l"
had not teen sufficient and that some of
he candidates had thrown down some ot
the others with a dull, cold and sickening
thud. The charge was freely made that
HarlrlSge, for Instance, hod been slashed
unmercifully by some of the candidates
on his own ticket ami been sold for what
could be brought to them by the sacri
fice.

“ TWO NEW YORKERS. *
One Give* the Ollier n Handy Lift.
Mr. E. C. Hazard, one of the oldest
and best-kown wholesale grocers in
New York, has for many years given his
attention to the preparation of fine food
delicacies. He has a farm and experiment
station down on Staten Island, where the
famous Srewsbury Ketchup, Burn Onion
Sauce, Sherwsbury Mushrooms and ot er
delicacies are prepared in u most skillful
manner.
One evening lost autumn while on his
way home. Mr. H. sat with one of the
officials of the N. J. C. railroad, who
seemed to be living with one foot in the
grave,— stomach so badly disordered that
nothing would digest. It seemed only a
question of a few weeks, at most when
death would come.
"Mr. Hazard insisted upon taking (he
gentleman to his house and giving him a
package of Grape-Nuts breakfast food
which is monufactured by the Postum
Cereal Cos., at the pure food factories at
Battle Creek, Mich., a food which Mr.
Hazard had been using at his own table
for a long time, greatly to his benefit.
“He told the gentleman that he cou'd
get well 1n a few weeks by the use of
perfectly prepared food of this sort, ntid
would never forget the day when he first
tried Grape-Nuts. The prediction came
true; the official is not only alive today,
but 1b In better health than he has exper
ienced for many years, all of which he at
tributes to the use of Grape-Nute and
from tho advice of Mr. Hazard."
There ore two reasons for this; In the
first place, Grape-Nuts nre made front
certain selected portions of wheat and bar
ley that contain phosphate of potash and
albumen which nature uses in the human
system to make up the gray matter in me
brain and nerve centers throughout the
body.
The nervous system directly controls
the digestive machinery and the brain
controls the working nnd money making
power. Mr. Hazard knows this, from
his knowledge of food and from' his own
experience with Grnpe-Nuts. Therefore
when ho took the railway official In charge,
he knew exactly whnt he was doing, and
the result proved tho collect ness of his
knowledge.

This most aggravating and tormenting of all skin diseases is caused by an acid condition of Ef %.*•'& IsHM fiT
the blood, and unless relieved through certain instrumentalities too much
Sof this acid poison reaches the skin and it becomes red and inflamed. The itching and burning ara>
altno3t unbearable, especially when overheated from any cause. The skin seems on fire, sleep or rest t
impossible, the desperate sufferer, regardless of consequences, scratches until strength is exhausted.
This burning, itching humor appears sometimes in little pustules, discharging a sticky fluid, which
forms crusts and scales. Again the skin is dry, hard and fissured, itches intensely, bleeds aiid scabs over.
This is a painful and stubborn form of the disease.
While Eczema, Tetter, Erysipelas, Salt Rheum and many like troubles are spoken of as diseases a#
the skin, they are really blood diseases, because
THERE CAN BE NO EXTERNAL IRRITATION
WITHOUT AN INTERNAL CAUSE.
If the blood is in a pure, healthy condition, no poisonous elements can reach the skin.
External applications of washes, lotions and salves sometimes mitigate the itching and soothe the
inflammation, nut cannot reach the disease. Only S. S. S., the real blood medicine, can do this.
S. S. S., the only purely vegetable remedy known, is a safe and permanent curb for Eczema and all deep-seated blood and
skin troubles. It goes direct to the s.eat of the disease, neutralizes the acids and cleanses the blood, re-inforces and invigorate*
all the organs, and thus clears the system of all impurities through the natural chaunels ; the skin relieved, all inflammation
subsides, and all signs of the disease disappear.
Mr*. Lefa M. Hoffmin. of Cardington, Ohio, say* she was afflicted with Scrofulous soretrand Eczema /
from birth. Her face ut times became to bsdly swollen that she was not recognizable, and her limbs Kg/ < v ''%} Sfoc;
ami hands were very sore. She was treated by all the doctors in town without being benefitted, and in
her researches for relief, was told bv an old physician to take S S. S. She followed his advice and was :> v

VALDOSTA STREET RAILROAD.
Annual Teachers’ Institute—Echols’
Sew County Court. \
Valdosta, Ga., May 16.—The stockholders
In the Valdosta Exposition Company held
a meeting to-day and decided to begin
work at once on the electric street rail
road to the exposition grounds. The road
has been In contemplation for some time,
though nothing definite was done until
to-day. The company will construct
their track from the Atlantic, Valdosta
and Western depot up Patterson street to
Pine Park and then to Ashley street,
hack lo the olty. The company will also
have a power house erected at the Milo
Branch and will furnish power for vari
ous Industries in the city. The work of
excavation for the new street road Is to
begin at once.
Arrangements have been made for the
annual teachers' institute to be held hero
beginning June 11. The school teachers
of Lowndes, Berrien, Echols and Brooks
are expected to meet here for a week's
session. Some of the moot distinguished
educators io the state are expected to give
lectures during the week and (he outlook
is that 200 teachers will be on hand.
The first session of the County Court
of Echols was held yesterday and three
negroes were sent to the chain-gang for
a year each for robbing a peddler. The
people of Echols believe that the new
coujt is going to do much (o improve
the good name of the county.
Puree Pcnland, who was stabbed by his
brother, near Statesville, several weeks
ago, died from the wound after lingering
for a month. The young men went Into
the field to work and the older whipped
the younger about something. The
younger, who was a mere boy, jerked out
his knife and stabbed the other, the wound
resulting in death.
