SOCIETY.
HIS SEVENTH BIRTHDAY.
1 iiilf Folk, Make Merry at Master
Halford Wood', Party.
v merry party of little people met
, . ..nitty at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
lames S. Wood, to celebrate the sev
.birthday of Master Raiford Wood.
The day was a perfect one for young
j olks t o be out cf doors, and the after
noon opened with a peanut hunt in the
r ,. tt y garden. Miss Jule Screven and
Vter Will Morrell were most suc
cessful, and received as prizes a bowl
of gold fish and a knife.
Afterwards there were games in
doors. and then came the best part of
the afternoon, when the children were
ushered into the dining room, which
was aglow with color and light, and
full of those good things so dear to the
of youth. It was a pretty idea
t 0 have everything in pink, which
seems to be the color of childhood. A
blooming azalea stood in the center
0 f the table, and at each end a vase
of pink carnations, while between were
the silver candelabra with pink flower
hk shades. Each little guest received
a comical brownie or a rabbit which
afforded a delightful surprise when
discovered to be nothing less than a
box of sweetmeats. There was a birth
day cake, of course, with seven shin
ing candles, and many other things
good to see and good to eat.
Mrs. Wood was assisted by Miss Au
gusta Wood. Miss Rosalind Wood, Miss
Lilia Comer, Miss Nora Edmonston,
Miss Jule Screven, and Miss Gulie
Garrard. Among the little folks who
enjoyed the afternoon, were Miss Mary
Schley. Miss Eliza Schley. Miss Ellen
Johnson, Miss Katherine Gibbes, Miss
Francis Gibbes, Miss Margaret Fer
rill. Miss Eleanor Ferrill, Miss Emily

terday afternoon at Veterans’ Hall.
The attendance was good, and besides

as its guest Mrs. Jojin IU.Poe, whp
v: " president of the Baltimore
chapter. The afternoon was chiefly de
voted to the perfecting of arrange
ments for the society's day at Adler’s,

down town will avail themselves of
the opportunity to obtain a good din

littfe other business before the meet
ing except the reports of the’various

In Connection with the article upon
Mme. Bonfanti, which appeared in
Sunday’s News, it is interesting to
know that the “good little Bonfanti,”
as she is called, had at least one “Sa
vannah pupil, Mrs. Ruby Nicoll.”
Those who have been present at Mrs.
Nicoll’s classes in .the Guards’ Hail

is seldom possible to see such a charm

natural grace.'

Gen. Wood Was their colonel, and
President Roosevelt was their lieuten
ant colonel. Upon Col. Wood becom

was promoted to the command of the
regiment.
CHARLES LANE’S COMICALITIES.
President Booth Lowry of the School
of Oratory at Jackson, Tenn., says of
Prof. Charles Lane, who lectures at
Trinity Cbuycji Hall^ Friday night pn
"Lessons Not Learned in Books,” *‘l
have heard Bill Nye, Sunset Cox and
many other great humorists, but
Charles Lane is, unequivocally, the
funniest man I have ever heard talk.
Others may amuse, but Charles Lane
convulses. You laugh until you hurt.
I have heard him three times, and
I haven’t had half enough of him yet.
He is on our course here this winter,
and I anticipate more pleasure from
his lecture than from any bther we
are to have. You may just say to
your friends there that they can't af
ford to miss him. While he keeps his
audience in a constant fit of laughter,
he also hurls great nuggets of truth
and wisdom at them that will stay
with them after the laugh is over. He
is not simply a "funny man.” He is
a great scholar, a true philosopher and
an elegant Christian gentleman.”

HAM LEWIS AS DOCTOR.
He Is Going to \Yn*liington With n
Remedy lor Trn*t*.
Jim Ham Lewis, as he is familiarly
known to fame and to Savannahians,
who knew him here before he sought
fortune and political preferment in the
Far West, has a remedy for trusts.
The following special dispatch from
Chicago to the Atlanta Constitution
tells the story:
“James Hamilton Lewis, once con
gressman from the state of Washing
ton, but who now has cast aside his
political ambitions, he says ‘to work
for the interests of th? national Demo
cratic party,’ came to. Chicago this
morning with a brand new trust rem
edy.
“ ‘Jim Ham,’ as they call him out in
his own state, is on his way to Wash
ington to offer his aemedy to Congress
free of charge.
“The trouble with the Democratic
party, said he, is that it denounces
too much and does not furnish enough
remedies. Now, my iplan Is to appoint
a commission j which would have the
power to pass on the question whether
or not any corporation is a trust. If
it should be a corporation is
a trust, the commission would have
the right to condemn the company
and its holdings just the same as the
government -corr&smns land* for its own
use. All the trust's property would
be forfeited to the government. Then
a jury would appraise the property.
The amount settled upon would be
paid to the stockholders of the cor
poration.
"Then, in order to reimburse itself,
the government would sell the plant
at auction. I think that scheme would
stop the formation of trusts. If a
corporation knew that any day the
commission might swoop down and
condemn it the officers would not
water the stock. I can see no fault
with this plan, and I think it would
solve* the trust s problem for the Dem
ocratic party and the "country.”
CUT MERCHANTS THROAT.
Have Greentree at Colnmliu* A
xnnltcri l,y Hen An trey.
Columbus, Ga., March 10.—A sensa
tional cutting affray occurred on
Twelfth street, near Broad, this after
noon, when Ben Autrey. a young white
man, walked up tq Mr. Dave Green
tree, a prominent Jewish merchant,
and seizing him with one hand, plunged
a sharp knife into hjs throat with the
other. The lunge was a feafful one,
and the knife went through the lower
portion of Mr. Green tree’s left ear and
cut a gash five or six inches long in the
neck and throat, the end of the gash
being well under the chin. Autrey
made but one stab apd then fled, but
was afterwards captured in Phenix
City. He had a pistol concealed on his
person.
Mr. Greentree went to Howard’s
drug store, where he received surgical
attention. While His wound is seri
ous his attending physician say it will
not be fatal.
Had the knife gone a quarter of an
inch further, it would have killed him,
as the gash was quite a bad one, the
flesh being laid bare for some distance.
Autrey had been owing Mr. Green
tree an account of $8.20 for nearly
seven years. Mr. Greentree garnished
his wages at Swift’s factory, where he
was employed a day or two ago, and
this is what brought on- the trouble
to-dar. Autrey was drinking at the
time. The attack was utterly unex
pected by Mr. Greentree.

1 RURAL FREE DELIVERY WINS.

| Contract Feature Knocked Out and
Salaries /of Carriers Raised to

Itusf ness.
| Washington, March 10.—The bill to
classify the rural free delivery ser
| vice and place the carriers under the
j contract system, which has been de
i bated in the House for over a week,
was passed to-dfty, but in a form that
completely changed the purpose for
which it was framed. Before it was
! passed the bill .was altered radically
!by its opponents. All the provisions
i elating to the-placing of carriers un
der the contract system were stricken
out, and the salary system was not
only continued, but the maximum sal
ary of carriers was increased front SSOO
to S6OO per annum. The amendment
to fix the salaries of rural carriers at
S6OO, was .offered {ty Mr. Swanson of
Virginia, and adopted without division.
An amendment offered by Mr. Flem
ing of Georgia was adopted, to allow
carriers to do an express package
business where it does not interfere
with their duties.
A motion offered by Mr. Williams,
Democrat, of Illinois, to recommit the
bill, with instructions to report back
an amendment providing for the dis
missal from the service of carriers
who should use their influence in favor
of any particular party or for ' any
particular candidate, down,
96 to 141.
Earlier in the day Mr. Burton of
Ohio, chairman of the River and Har
bor Committee, reported the river and
harbor bill and gave notice that he
would call it up after the disposal of
the postoffice appropriation bill, which
will be taken up to-morrow.
THE~POTTS* TELEGRAM.
Macon, Ga., March 10.—Editor of the
Morning News: Since submitting to
Mr. Terrell through the Waycross
Journal for him to answer two days
thereafter in his speech, the question
among others whether he wrote, in
1896, what is being called the “Famous
Potts’ telegram,” I have been furnished
with an exact copy of the alleged tele
gram and also with other information,
and as I desire to be as accurate as
possible and to give Mr. Terrell the
benefit of what I have subsequently
learned before he answers that ques-'
tion and the others, I now quote the
words of the copy furnished and give
the substance of the other informa
tion:
“Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 10, 1896. —W. T.
Carling, care of Senatorial Hall. “I
am positively assured that Berner will
give no trouble to the brewing or li
quor interests of the state, ls it not
unwise policy to delay his nomination?
Answer.”
(Signed) “Frank M. Pot(s.”
The other information Is in substance
as follows:
Some time after the date of the tele
gram Mr. Frank M. Potts said that
he did not sign the same; that J. M.
Terrell engineered the scheme with
Berner.
I wish to add that Mr. Walter B.
Hill, instead of reading a copy of the
telegram in his speech at Forsyth, may
have simply quoted its contents or
substance. Dupont Guerry.

Rev. David Wills, D. D., pastor of
Disston Memorial Presbyterian Church
of Philadelphia, at the solicitation of
the pastor, Mr. Olttland, preached to
a large congregation at the Methodist
Church, and, although nearly four
score years old, spoke with a power
and vigor of a man many years
younger.
For many years Dr. Wills was a
prominent Presbyterian divine of
Washington. He is now visiting his
son, Hon. James T. Wills, his nephew,
Dr. John C. Wills; his nieces, Mrs. Dr.
Freeman and Mrs. Lidden, and several
other relatives in Starke. The doctor

MINERS MAY CAUSE TROUBLE.

Roanoke, Va„ March }0. —A special
from Bristol, Tenn., to-night says:
As the result of agitation in the coal
mining districts of Wise county, Vir
ginia, by union labor organizers, trou
ble is threatened. The organizers, it
ts said, hope to bring about a general
strike in that section to secure higher
wages and recognition for union labor.
An indication of what this may lead
to was received here to-night when
an order came to Chief of Police Kil

When (lie President Approve*.
From the Chicago News.
When President Roosevelt desires to
express his approbation of a man in
the highest possible terms he calls
him a “corker.” The other day the
wife of a prominent financier was
presented to Mr. Roosevelt. “I am
delighted to meet you,” said the
President. "I know your husband
very well. He is a corker.” The lady
went away wondering. When sh
reached home she asked her husband
what the President meant by calling
him a “corker,” afid said she was
much worried because Mr. Roosevelt
entertained such an opinion of him.

VICTORY FOR MRS. WILLIAMS.

Ilia, Scheming; Mr. llonni*.
Washington, D. C\, March 10.—The
Postmaster General has "decided in
favor of Mrs. Williams, the incumbent
at Baxley. This is the case in which
an order for a change had been en
tered when, on representation from the
people of Baxley, the case was held up
at the request of Representative Brant
ley. The order for anew appoint
ment was made on the report of an
inspector, on the ground that the post
mistress was not devoting her personal
attention to the office. W. F. Boone
had been designated at the successor,
and it was charged that his recom
mendations had been secured for use
in an effort to get a place In, the In
dian Territory, which some pt his in
dorsers considered unfair. To-day Mr.
Brantley secured a decision from the
Postmaster General that Mrs. Wil
liams is not to be superseded now or
as long as she attends personally to
the business of the office.
MR. SKI A A Eli OF GEORGIA
He Create* n Senwntion Upon Hi*
Visit to Parliament.
From the London, Telegraph.
A worthy sou of Anak visited St.
Stephen’s last evening in the person of
Mr. J. F. Skinner, an A meric tin citizen,
hailing from Georgia* _ He is 7 feet 7
inches in hight, and hif.presence in the
Central Hall naturally, attracted con
siderable attention. By no means re
luctant to enter into conversation, he
remarked that there might be men as
tall as himself in the United States,
but, he slyly added, “I have not seen
therm” Being now in the "old coun
try,” he was anxious to see the House
cf Parliament. To gratify his curiosity,
Sir Howard Vincent took charge of the
young'. giant, conducting him first to
the Strangers’ Gallery in, the House of
Commons and afterward “behind the
bar” in the House of Lords. The vis
itor was very much delighted with the
Gilded Chamber, but what impressed
him most was a view of the spot in
Westminster Hall where Charles I
stood when receiving his death sen
tence.
He towered above the tallest men
about him. The sons of Anak in the
House were attracted to the Central
Hall and all agreed this must be Anak
himself redivivus. The Secretary for
Foreign Affairs, the Marquis of Lans
downe, on his way o the upper house
deviated to more closely inspect this
prodigy.
Out Parliamentary correspondent in
terviewed the young gentleman, who
said: “If I tell you my name (as
he handed his card) you must not speak
of my hight. If you speak of my
hight you may not use my name. But
I am jusl over to look around the home
of my parents. 1 have been to Scot
land. I am now seeing laindon, and I
go back to Georgia on Saturday via
Liverpool.”
For the moment he was derelict. He
had sent his card to Mr. Alexander
Cross, and that gentleman not being
available. Sir Howard Vincent, who is
always to the aid of distress, proffered
his services as sec or t over the sights of
the palace. Sir Howard, who is a fair
sized man, looked like a boy of four
feet as he walked beside his protege.
But the visitor did not think much
of the House, though he begged his ad
mission card as a souvenir of his visit.
He, was also shown the House of Lords,
atld displaying an intelligent interest
in the crypt,, was taken there.
He wps the counter attraction of the
evening, and peers as well as ministers
left their places to look at possibly the
tallest man ever seen under Barry’s
roof.
The Demon* In Their Seilnn*.
From the North China Herald.
As, I write, there is a long military
prof-ession passing through the gate
of an inland town —it being the 24th of
'October. It -is the feast of Senng
Kong. Students are bewildered with
tho,’intricate system of Chinese re
ligious life. The duties of this feast
fall upon the shoulders of the mili
tary, as the duties of the spiring fes
tival fall on the civil mandarins. This
from a Chinese point of view, is really
imposing, and not without interest
to a European. But the curious fact
about the whole thing is the empty
ch'airs that are carried, each by four'
coolies. They were empty, but be
decked with bunting beyond descrip
tion. In reply to a question, the an
swer was: “Invisible demons, who
might otherwise be inclined to offer
insult to the inhabitants of the town
during the months of winter, will,
though Ainseen, seat themselves mi the
chairs and be so delighted with the
honor done them that they will forget
their naturally vindictive purposes,
and therefore will not harass the peo
ple that have, given them this en
joyment.” Fancy a vindictive, blaek
faced devil, sitting complacently
among the ribbons and the bunting!
