cial America"
IN SOCIETY’S DOMAIN.
A superb reception tu tendered them
by Dr. and Mn. Eldridge, parents of-the
groom, and on Friday night Mrs. El
dridge was given another opportunity to
meet her husband's host of friends, and
thus meet many admirers she has won
since she came to make her home in the
Sunny Southland.
Mrs. Kldridge, around whom all the
interest of the occasion centered, was
gowned most beautifully in daffodil
silk, with chiffon. The folds of the
white chiffon fell airily from the waist
iu clinging lines, and showed a border of
black velvet about the hem. The waist
was trimmed with quaint bows of black
velvet.
Mrs, Kldridge has a gracious, unaffect
ed manner, which is most charming.
The past week has been given to many
amusements.
The bright balmy weather has brought
the ladies out in large numbers, and the
boulevards have been made lively by
those seeking pleasure, driving and
borse-back riding.
Wedding bells have not ceased to
chime 'the glad tidings: “Two I souls
with but a single thought, two hearts
that beat a« one.”
Yes, it is the same old story, but it is
sweet to Hymen’s captives, and will al
ways be.

Tlie cremo a la creme of society at
tended tlio opera Tuesday night.
Mis* Rita Selby, tbe charming prima
donna, certainly deserved the audience
which was *o justly battering in size and
favor. She has a sweet, clear, perfectly
trained voice, and her exocntlon of
most difficult solo In the second act has
never been surpassed by any who ever
appeared before our footlights, and in
deed, there are only a few of the great,
celebrities, such as Patti or Abbott, wbo
could have sung It better.
Ur. J. Aldrich Libhey as Rubygold,
■bared the bonon with Miss Selby, tbe
.tar, and had tbe opera been given in
full, the poor stage setting, and seedy
costumes could have been overlooked.
The company left by tbe midnight
train, and In order to meet another en-
gagement gave Amerisui a hurried and
unsatisfactory performace. Our enter
prising opera home managers might
mske a note of this cutting business and
prevent it in future. *
A pretty and notable wedding was
solemnized at 8:00 o’clock Thurs
day evening last at .the residence
of the bride’s brothei>!n-Iaw, Mr. R. E.
Byrd, in Lee ton. Miss Eva Flotard was
married to Mr. Walter Baker, of Jack,
sonviile, Fla. Tbe beautiful new borne
of Mr. Byrd had been specially adorned
for this occasion, and tbe many kind
friends of Hiss Eva lent willing hearts
and hands in making tbe pretty parlors
charmingly lovely, deoomted as they
were with exquisite bridal flowers and
rare chrysanthemums, many beautiful
offerings baring been sent tbe bride from
her old Florida home.
The ceremony was Impressively per
formed by the Rev. Mr Dodd, of Jack
sonville.
The bride Is a typical French beauty
of distinguished lineage, every gesture
and feature is ot the attractive Fl-eneh
patrician style. She was gowned in a
rich traveling costume of golden brown,
elegantly fitted to her stately figure.
Tbe groom la a gentleman ;of pleasant
social demeanor and received the
strangers present most graciously. Both
happily received tbe marriage congratu
lations from relatives and near friends
only who were present.
An elegant sapper bad been prepared
by Mrs. Flotard, tbs devoted mother of
the bride, and a more beautiful wedding
table could not be imagined.
Tbe presents received by Mr. and Mrs.
Baker were many exquisite gems of brio-
a-brac and art
The marriage is a most congenial one
and the many friends of these yonng
people feel that happiness mutt ever be
their earthly portion.
Mr. and Mrs. Baker left by tbe 11
o’elock p. ro. train for Jacksonville,
where an attractive borne awaits tbe
bride, all arranged by tbe groom aa a
wedding gift to bis wife.

■The Fat Men’s Club” held tbe boards
at the opera bouse on Thursday night
Tbe entertainment they gave was for
many [reasons quite refreshing. There
was a decided departure from tbe usual
stereotype farce comedy, end tbe per
formance throughout was a clean farce
and merrily appreciated by a large
audience,
...
Tbe german tendered by tbe Americas
Club on Friday evening complimentary
to Mr. and Mrs. Arch Eldridge was the
social event of tbe fall season.
The evening was tool and delightful,
and the soft silver light of tbe moon
never ebons on fairer women end more
gallant men, as they Joyously wended
their way to tbe handsome club rooms
on Forsyth street
The floral decorations wen superb,
garlands of Ivy Climbed gracefully
around tbe chandeliers, palms and bal
sam fir were tbe rivals of exquisite ferns
and smilax in their arrangement A
lovely display of rare exotica was fur
nished by Mr. George Staafidd, tbe flo
rist, and at 10 o’clock the elegant apart-
meats presented a dazzling picture.
Tbe assemblage of beauty and loveli
ness was one that will long be remem
bered. Moat of society's favorites were
peasant, each vising with tbe other to
pey a fit tribute to their friends, Mr. El
dridge, one of tbe most popular mem-
ben of tbe dob, and his lovely bride.
Mr, end Mis. Eldridge have been the re
cipients of many compliments since

The following is clipped from the Sa
vannah Morning New., from an article
advocating an extension of the road to
Savannah
“The Sam people deny most einphat-
tically that there was any breach of
contract on their part. The traffic agree
ment they claim was broken by the Rich
mond dr Danville because it was jealous
of the prosperity of the Sam route,
which war securing much of the busi
ness formerly turned Into Savannah by
the Central.

Tbe german was artistically led by
Mr. Walter K. Wheatley. Many attrac

pleasant entertainment Is rarely chron
icled in society’s happenings. The mu
sic was inspiring and tbe festivities were
prolonged until a late hour. The fol

unite in tbe wish that the future of Mr.

rangements. All foreign freights
will he sent that wiry, anil the
attempt of the Central to cripple the Sa
vannah, Amerieua and Montgomery, in
stead of being successful -to the end
aimed at, will be only Instrumental in
helping to reluce the business here,
“Soma people seem to think that the
whole thing is a game of bluff on the
part of tbe Richmond and Danville to
compel the S. A. M. to sell, “but,” said
a Bay street man, “if that is the scheme
of tbe Richmond and Danville It has
struck a man in Col. Hawkins who can
neither be scared nor bluffed. It has
always been a pet idea of bis to have
an Independent line to Savannah, and
tbe action of tbe big corporation will no
doubt cause him to lay hls^lan* at once
to get In here. He will meet with en
couragement from the business men of
the city."
“Col. Hawkins was In Baltimore yester
day and waa expected to start South last
night. When he comet to Savannah his
version of the broken contract will be
given,”—Savannah Morning News.

An Enjoyable Affair.
On last Friday Mr. H. Glover came to
tbe city and invited a few choice spirits
to come out to bis place a few miles from
town and participate in a “ 'possum
supper,” which invitation was accepted
with alacrity, aa tbe guests were fully
aware that they would have a good even
ing of It. But they were not prepared
for the spread which awaited them.
Fverytbiug which tbe most epicurean
taste could desire, and served In a man
ner to bring tears of joy to the eyes of
the gourmet. To say that the occasion
was one of most exquisite enjoyment
would be drawing it ‘very mildly. A
great variety ot wild game (particularly
notable being the ”duok”) helped to
assuage the ravenous appeUtea of tbe
guests, while the warm-hearted geniali
ty of the host and hostess served to ren
der doubly pleasant a supper enviable
under any circumstances in its complete
ness.
Those present from tbe city were
