SOCIETY.
TO AID COLLEGE GIRLS.
Dcllghtfnl Tea and Sale at the
Home ot Min* Hartridge.
Very charming in its social aspect
ind the pleasure ot congenial society
a-hich it afforded, as well as interest
ng in the occasion which suggested it,
ivas the tea sale given yesterday for
ihe benefit of the College Ail Society.
Miss Hartridge's home on Gaston
street, the scene of the affair, was
beautifully adapted to the purpose, the
hree long drawing rooms opening in
to each other, and the pretty hall
nay affording just tne space and
light needed to Insure comfort and
:onvenlence in the inspection of the
many attractive articles offered for
sale.
The rooms were hung with Japa
nese lanterns and great Japanese um
brellas, that gave a note of gayety to
the surroundings and made the little
booths below, with their array of pret
ty things, even more inviting. Over
the stairway in the entrance hall were
fastened several big brighrt-hued um
brellas and on the landing under this
archway, behind mysterious curtains
sat Miss Backus, disguised as “Mad
ame Baka,” casting horoscopes for in
quisitive mortals. In the rear hall
was another curtained recess, from
which peered out, every moment or
two, a gay Pierrette calling for little
folks to take a chance at the grab
bag. The children who had charge
of this corner were all dressed alike
In white clown costumes, with red
trimmings. They were Miss Sidney
Gabbett, Miss Inez Tiedeman, Miss
Belle Battey, Miss Harvle Hull and
Miss Helen Dixon. Opening into the
hall on the side opposite the drawing
rooms was a smaller room, decorated
In the same Japanese scheme, where
ices, cake, and other good things were
served. Mrs. Walter C. Hartridge and
Miss Catherine Mclntire were in
charge here.
In the bay window in the first
drawing room, Mrs. C. A. L. Cunning
ham and Mrs. Harris Cope had charge
of a table where tea cloths, tea
cosies, and various bits of linen use
ful on the tea table could be pur
chased. Just next was a collar table
in charge of Mrs. Henry D. Stevens,
who was assisted by Miss Georgia
Wayne. Mrs. Dent presided over a
table of fancy articles at the opposite
side of the room, and Miss Virginia
Lord Nisbet had charge of a table
containing articles of special value.
In the dining room tea was served
by Mrs. Robert L. Mercer and Mrs.
J. M. Lang, and nearby was the sybil's
cave, within which Miss Anne But
ler, as Signorina Fortuna, revealed the
mysteries of the future for a small
compensation.
Avery inviting table was that in
charge of Mrs. Frank C. Battey, who
dispensed sweetmeats, teas, olives, pre
serves, and other such good things.
Mrs. Wright Hunter and Miss Eula
Gamble presided at the candy table.
One of the prettiest spots in the
house was the long tlower table at the
end of the last room with its array
of roses, pansies, lilies, and violets.
Mrs. Tracy G. Hunter, who presided
here, was assisted by Mfss Belle Shot
ter and Miss Nina Crane. Mrs. Thom
ns Wayne was in charge of the cake
table, and Mrs. 3. P. Goodwin and Mrs.
J. S. Wqod dispensed small articles
to the little folks.
All during the afternoon and evening
there was a constant stream of callers
and the time left over when shopping
was done was spent pleasantly enough
in chatting, and listening to the music.
Miss Lola Moynelo gave a number of
delightful instrumental selections in the
afternoon, and Miss Saidee King sang
during the evening.
Miss Ward, who is president of the
College Aid Society, w r as assisted in re
ceiving by Miss Hartridge and Miss
Stiles. The affair was not only delight
ful socially, but it is believed that its
material results will be of substantial
benefit to the society whose object is to
offer to Savannah girls the opportunity
of a college education.
While most of the articles were sold
yesterday, a number of the prettiest tea
cloths and cosies and other smaller
things were left. These will be kept
at Miss Hartridge’s home to-day and
anyone wishing to inspect them will be
cordially this morning, and
a chance to purchase them will thus be
afforded to those unable to be present
yesterday or unable to make a satis
factory selection amid the many pleas
ant distractions of the afternoon.
THE AMATEUR OPERA.
An event to which societ * has look
ed forward with some impatience will
be the presentation at the theater this
evening of “The Feast and the Sleep
ing Beauty.” The piece is a spectacu
lar operetta, adapted from "Beauty
and the Beast” which had such a
long run in New York and Chicago,,
and many of the most attractive fea
tures of that production have been re
tained. The scenic effects are charm
ing, the music most pleasing, and the
comedy light and entertaining.
There is every prospect that a large
and fashionable audience will witness
the performance and that from an
artistic as well as a financial stand
point it will be most successful. The
affair is given under the auspices of
the Savannah Chapter, D. A. R.

VANDERBILT-NEILSON
WEDDING AT NEWPORT.
New York's 400 Witnessed a. Bril
liant Beginning of Soeial Season.
Newport, R. I„ April 14.—The wed
ding of Reginald C. Vanderbilt of New
York, the youngest son of the late
Cornelius Vanderbilt, and Miss Cath
leen G. Neilson, also of New York,
which occurred at "Arleigh” at noon
to-day, was a brilliant, as well as an
early, beginning of the social season
of 1903 at Newport.
Crowds began to assemble in
front of Artlington villa as ear
ly as 9 o’clock this morning
and the services of a considerable force
of police were necessary to keep Belle
vue avenue clear of the many men,
women and children curious to obtain
at least some outward glimpses of the
fashionable wedding. Up to 11
o’clock there was nothing to re
ward their patient vigil, but shortly
after that hour a closed carriage drew
up in front of the great iron gates and
the Rev. Father Menan alighted with
an assistant carrying a satchel bearing
the priestly vestments. A short while
afterward the first of the guests ar
rived and soon there was a continuous
procession of carriages bearing the
cream of New York society. Some of
those recognized by the crowds by rea
son of their prominence in Newport so
ciety were the Burdens, thJ Alfred
Vanderbilys, the Sloanes and the McK.
Twomblys.
Almost from the break of day the
managing decorators, florists and cater
ers had been quietly though none the
less busily employed inside the magnifi
cent cottage putting the finishing
touches to the arrangements for the
ceremony, and the breakfast and re
ception that were to follow. The large
parlors on the right side of the house,
where a temporary altar had been ar
ranged for the ceremony, were resplen
dant with flowers, blossoms and plants
of many varieties. The most conspicu
ous feature of the floral decorations
was a mammoth bell of roses suspend
ed directly over the spot where the brid
al pair were to be made one. The
flowers! palms and pottedplants all
came from the immense green houses
at "The Breakers." The windows were
hidden behind great masses of palms
and other tropical plants, while sus
pended from the ceiling by invisible
wires were baskets of asparagus, ferns
and other delicate foliage. The deco
rations in the reception rooms were
similar, roses in profusion in large
bowls and potted plants in all varieties
being used.
Precisely at the appointed hour Mr.
Nahan Franko waved his baton and
thirty-five members of the Grau Or
chestra stationed behind a bank of
palms in one corner of the white and
gold parlor struck up the "Cortege
Nuptial" from “Romeo and Juliet.”
This was the signal for the bridal pro
cession to begin its descent of the
grand staircase and through the main
reception hall to the parlors where
the guests were already assembled.
The ushers, seven in number, led the
procession. They were Peter Golet
Gerry, Albert Gray. Arthur Burden,
Jules P. Neilson of New York, S. H.
Stone of Syracuse, and Ellis Adams of
Orange, N. J. Alfred G. Vanderbilt,
brother of the bridegroom, was the
best man. He and the ushers wore
frock coats, gray trousers, white
gloves, white ties and white waist
coats. and each wore a big bouton
niere of white spring blossoms, to car
ry out the color scheme of the brides
maids' gowns.
Following the ushers came two little
white-costumed flower flirls, "Chiffon”
Kemp, the bride’s tiny niece, and littlg
Muriel Vanderbilt, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt, Jr. The
bridesmaids, exquisitely gowned in
striking costumes of chiffon, all lace
and rutiles, were Miss Isabel May of
Washington. Miss Florence Twombly
of New York and Morristown, Miss
Evelyn Parson of New York, and Miss
Nathalie Schenck of New York. The
bride's attendants as maid and matron
of honor respectively were Mrs. Arthur
T Kemp, sister of the bride, and Miss
Gladys Vanderbilt, sister of the bride
groom.
The bride was accompanied by her
uncle, Frederick Gebhardt. who gave

YOUR MONEY RETURNED
If Hyomei Does Not Cure Tou of Catarrh,
Say Knight's Pharmacy Cos.
In advertising that they will refund
the money to any one purchasing a
Hyomei outfit who can say that it h'as
done them no good in the treatment
of catarrh, Knight’s Pharmacy Com
pany mean exactly what this guaran
tee says.
Of course the percentage of cures by
Hyomei is nearly one hundred or else
Knight’s Pharmacy Company could not
afford to make this unusual offer. But
If the treatment should not be adapt
ed to your case there will be no ques
tions or quibblings when you go to get
your money.
That the beginning of catarrh is due
to the presence of germs In the air
passages is now admitted by every
physician. It stands to reason that
catarrh cannot be cured unless these
germs are first destroyed. The Hyomei
treatment kills the catarrh germs even
In the minutest air cells, soothes and
heals the irritated mucous membrane
and makes complete and lasting cures
in cases that have resisted the usual
methods of treatment.
Catarrh cannot be cured by medi
cines administered through the stom
ach. Hyomei is the only natural meth
od and It has made cures that seem
miraculous. An outfit costs but SI.OO,
and consists of an inhaler, which will
last a lifetime and sufficient Hyomei
for more than a month’s treatment.
Additional bottles of Hyomei can be
procured for 50 cents.
Knight's Pharmacy Company give
their personal guarantee with every
Hyomei outfit they sell to refund the
money if it does not cure. There is
no risk whatever to the purchaser of
Hyomei.
delicate chiffon of the filmist texture
over ivory white satin as its ground
work. Here and there were touches
of rare old lace, just enough to giva
character to the gown without taking
away any of its light, airy effect. The
skirt was clinging, and the bodice cut
high. The yoke and the upper part of
the sleeves were of the same beauti
ful lace, while the lower part fell in a
great puff of delicate chiffon. The
wedding veil was of tulle, and around
the bride’s neck shown resplendent the
gorgeous string of great pearls given
her by the bridegroom.
During the ceremony selections from
‘‘Romeo and Juliet" were played soft
ly, and as the bridal party filed out
of the parlors into the main foyer
there was played the Grand March
from "Aida,” by Verdi. The spectacle
at this point was most imposing and
presented one of the prettiest pictures
imaginable. The display of gowns and
jewels worn by some of the guests
helped to make the scene one of mar
velous brilliancy.
After the ceremony was over and
the young- couple had received the
first onslaught of congratulations the
guests repaired to the superb dining
room where a magnificent wedding
breakfast was served by Bussell, fam
ous as the proprietor of the Newport
Oasino. Throughout the breakfast
and the reception the orchestra fur
nished exquisite music.
At 3 o’clock the majority of the
guests, who had come from New York,
left for that city by special boat. The
bride and bridegroom are to take a
honeymoon trip to the West. Later
they will go abroad.
The bridegroom gave the best man
and ushers scarfpins of handsome de
sign, set in sapphires and diamonds.
The wedding presents occupied four
rooms on the second floor of the Ar
leigh- cottage. They, consisted of cost
ly and rare jewels, works of art, and
bric-a-brac of every description. Mrs.
Vanderbilt, mother of the bridegroom,
gave the bride a superb set of dia
monds, tiara and collar, made in the
same pattern, and also a priceless
string of diamonds and rubies. An
other of Mrs. Vanderbilt’s gifts was a
complete set of table silver. Other
costly gifts included two massive sil
ver candelabra from the Twomiblys, a
superb set of silver-gilt compotleres
from the Gerrys, a set of silver plates
from the Webbs, and a chain set with
diamonds from Mrs. Frederick Van
derbilt.
Miss Cathleen Neilson, who became
the bride of Reginald Vanderbilt, is
well-known and well-liked in the most
fashionable set of New York society.
She is tall, shapely, and in addition
to being an excellent golfer, tennis
player and swimmer, is a highly ac

Preparations are being made for the
entertainment of the visiting mem
bers of the society of Colonial Dames
which meets to-morrow in Savannah.
A programme of business and entertain

that the representation will not be as
great this year as heretofore, but this
will make the meeting none the less
enjoyable. The principal cities of the
state will be represented by charm

circles of the society, and it is ex
pected that much good will result
from the gathering.
The meeting of the Dames will be
attended by social enjoyment, there
having been arranged already several
large teas. There will also be other
smaller teas arranged, and after the
close of the session •■juite a number of

Reginald C. Vanderbilt is the young

$5,000,000 divided among the four chil

of his wealth he inherited from his
grandfather's estate. The Vanderbilt
millions are well invested and his in

Further, in the event of tha death of
his elder brother, Alfred Vanderbilt,
Reginald would come in for a large
share of the bulk of the Vanderbilt
millions.
EASTER DANCE AT BEAUFORT.
Beaufort, 8. C„ April 14.—The Sea
Island Hotel was a scene last night of
brilliancy and beauty, the occasion be
ing the Easter dance given by Mrs.
O’Dell to the Commercial, Clover and
Ribault clubs and many other friends.
The ballroom was elaborately decor
ated with flowers, flags and ever
greens. Excellent music was furnish
ed by the Beaufort Cornet Band. At
12 o’clock refreshments were served.
After supper the german was danced,
being gracefully led by Mr. and M.-s.
E. E. Lengwlck. Dancing continued
until after 2 o’clock. Mrs. O’Dell
proved a gracious hostess and made
the occasion a delightful one to the
young society people who were pres

AT THE THEATER
Minstlelsy in a very entertaining
form was presented last night by the
William H. West Company. The com
pany is small but possesses talented
members and the specialities as well
as the concerted singing were ex
cellent. In the second part a number
of original features were introduced.
These were all good, notably the clog
dancing of the Ford Brothers, and some
trick bicycle riding with which the
performance closed. Some amusing
comedy was done by John H. King.
Frank McMahon, Dant Swift, and Fred
Huber.
The show was thoroughly enjoyable
from first to last, and was warmly re

of attention to detail; and of rigid self
control. He will also conclude that to
a republic, volunteer troops are of
incalculable service, and are, indeed,
the only military power which can ex
ist on a large scale among liberty lov
ing peoples.
“Engrossed iff trade, we of this na
tion give little heed to the warning
sign of domestic disorder and foreign
aggression; yet our only safety lies In
being so fitted during times of peace
and prosperity, that when war and
insurrection are upon us, we shall be
found fully and effectively prepared.
Some may say that the regular army
affords ample protection—that the vol
unteers are merely amateurs, ignor
ant and unreliable in time of emer
gency—but this does not correspond
with history.
“Cromwell’s Ironsides were mere
volunteers, yet they put the fear of
God in most of the regular armies of
Continental Europe. The soldiers of
Andrew Jackson at the battle of New
Orleans were mere backwoodsmen, yet
they killed Packingham, the Duke of
Wellington’s brother-in-law, and de
feated his British regulars. The very
same regiments saved the battle of
Waterloo for Wellington by opposing
unbroken sqfiares to the fierce and
oft repeated charges of the French
cavalry. Even in our own times, with
modern rifles, a few thousand volun
teer farmers held out for several years
against the entire strength of the Brit
ish empire exerted to subdue them.
“Unerring markmanship gained tlhe
victory for the men of Andrew Jack
son and the Boer soldiers, and in this
contest it is appropriate to note that
the Savannah Cadets, during the past
season and many seasons previous, held
the best record for rifle shooting of

THE RECENT FIGHT IN VENEZUELA.
COMPARED WITH OTHER ATTACKS.
The twentieth century will do a great deal more for
mankind by discovering new methods to kill bacteria (the
disease-carrying germs which get into the blood), than by
inventing new methods of warfare between human beings.
In warfare, as in business, one must have pure rich, red
blood to be courageous. A leading pathologist of America
says: "Within the blood and body are wonderful bacteria
fighting hostile invaders and foreshadowing the marvelous
results that follow greater knowledge.” "It is a fact,” says
Dr. Pierce, "that the red blood corpuscles are the soldiers
within the body which protect us from the outward attack of
the invisible enemy. " Our enemies are in the shape of dis
ease-bringing bacteria, such as the germs of catarrh, con
sumption, grip and malaria. If the blood is in a healthy
state there are five million of these little red corpuscles to
each cubic millimeter of blood that are fighting all the time
for the health and well being of every person. The problem
of medicine to-day is to find out more aDout them, but all we
know is that we must keep these active agents for help in
the best possible condition, and one’s health depends upon
how well one has preserved these good forces by right living
and the proper treatment in illness. Weakness, feeling of
nervous exhaustion and colds are the warning signals that
the blood is not in proper condition. The careless person
takes risks which are dangerous, just as a general who would
weaken his army by unnecessary and indecisive battles.
When the time comes he would not have his proper strength
either for fighting or for defense.
Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician to the Invalids’
Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo, N. Y., after years of
experience in purifying the blood and putting the system in
the right physical condition to defend itself from the attack
of the germs of disease, discovered a medicine made entirely
of roots and herbs, without the use of alcohol, that made
rich red blood, and this medicine has been given to the public
and can be obtained from any dealer in medicines in this
country. It assists the stomach in taking from the food such
elements as are necessary to feed the blood. This assimila
tion helps in the oxidation of the red blood corpuscles, the
liver is stimulated into greater activity, and in consequence
the poisons in the system are eliminated, the heart gets the
any company in the state, and perhaps
in the South.
“You are the only company in the
regiment which bears in your name the
word Savannah. Each of the other
companies derive inspiration from their
name.” And Col. Gordon mentioned
the names of the several commands
explaning the significance of their re
spective names.
To Illustrate Savannah.
“But you, with your name,” he said,
“should strive to illustrate Savannah.
Civic usefulness is an ideal which ev
ery man should aspire to; it is givep
to a few to fill places of influence in
state and national affairs. But each
of you can do something for this city.
The individual views, taken in the ag
gregate, comprise public opinion, and
by the tone of its public opinion must
a community be Judged. Remember,
therefore, that you represent not only
the military, but also the city of Sa
vannah. It rests with you to do so
worthily.
"You have given us an excellent
drill; the losers had nothing to feel
ashamed of; the winners might well
feel proud. They have worked hard
for their prizes, but all are better for
the striving. So important do I con
sider this preliminary hard work that
I wish to emphasize it by quoting in
conclusion two verses from Kipling,
whiehkare supposed to describe an ar
tist’s conception of the hereafter, and
runs thus:
'When earth’s last picture’s painted,
and the tubes are twisted and
• dried
‘And the oldest colors have faded and
the youngest critic has died;
•We shall rest —and, faith, we shall
need it—lie down for an aeon or
two.
'Till the Master of all good workmen
shall set us to work anew.
‘And only the Master shall praise us,
and only the Master shall blame,
‘And no one shall work for money,
and no one shall work for fame;
'But each for the joy of working, and
each in a separate star
'Shall draw the thing as he sees it
for the God of things as they
are!"

oil because it gives the blood and the tissues the food ele

enabling him to eat, retain, digest and assimilate nutritious
food. It overcomes gastric irritability and symptoms of
indigestion. Because of the good effects of Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery upon nutrition the tissues are

are dispelled.

" It is with pleasure that I write to inform you that your
medicines have saved the life of my wife, for which I feel
very grateful,” writes J. R. Sneed, of 816 Fairmont Street,
Nashville, Tenn. "My wife’s father and two uncles died
from heart trouble, and she too seemed doomed to the same
fate. This trouble had been coming on gradually. She
would have smothering spells almost daily, and sometimes I
would think she was dead. Our family physician gave us no
hope. I had heard of your wonderful medicine and con
cluded, as a last resort, I would try it. The first three bottles
did not seem to do her much good, but I insisted on her using
it a while longer. She soon began to improve, and after tak
ing twenty bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
and the same quantity of his ‘ Favorite Prescription,' my wife
was entirely cured. She only weighed 105 pounds when
commencing with your medicines, and to-day tips the scale
at 170 pounds. She is now healthy and happy, and says that
she feels as one who has been snatched from the very jaws of
death. Thanking you from the very depths of my heart for
saving my wife, I hope that your life may yet be spared many
years to relieve suffering humanity.”

WHAT THE NAUGHTY
WIND DID.
Of course it was a sin to laugh, or
even look; when the dear girl was in
so much trouble—but man is a brute
anyway, and if he does walk on two
feet instead of four he cannot always
look the other way, when the wind Is
blowing (he might get dust in his
eyes.)
The young lady had evidently
stopped in during the morning, and had
failed to read the weather report, con
sequently the impudent swish of the
winds had not been provided against.
She had on a most becoming Easter
hdt—a regular love with brim enough
for an awning and flowers that would
have Jolted a twenty into small change
if purchased at the florists. Her dain
ty white waist was just too sweet for
description and the blue skirt had a
train guaranteed to brush up an aver
age sidewalk in one trip. It was trou
ble at once to keep the hat on, and the
skirt off the ground, but with both lit
tle hands she managed fairly well.
It was on the home stretch that she
lost out. for she had made two pur
chases on Broughton street, and these
had to be carried. The wicked wind
saw his chance and with a swoop and
a howl he grabbed her hat. It couldn't
quite get away, but raised up a few
inches, pulled her hair all awry and
settled back over one eye.
With eomething that might have
been a French benediction she
made for a corner and in the
plate glass window surveyed the
trouble. Letting go her train she put
down the bundles and began to drive
spikes through the hat, with Just a sug
gestion of vindictiveness.
It was another inning for the
wind, and he fairly churtled as
he got hold of the blue skirt
and turned it wrongslde out with
one twist. She let go the hat and
veiled the scarlet with blue —not to
mention the bit of lace openwork that
showed above her patent leathers. The
hat went off again. Back to the head
piece with both hands and Mr. Wind
made another display, this time it was
red, white and blue, and an American
eagle on a nearby armory forgot his
dignity and crew like a bantam.
That was top much and seizing her
bundles, her hat and her skirts she
fled. Leaving a few heartless specta-
