MEETINGS OF SHAKSPERE CIA'B.
The Shakspere Club met yesterday
afternoon for the usual Monday study
at the home of Mrs. William R.
Eeaken.
The Saturday meeting of the club,
commemorative of the birth of Shaks
pere, Was a particularly interesting
one. Mrs. William Harden's home on
President street was attractively deco
rated with roses and carnations. A
Very clever paper, showing chiefly the
educative value of Shakspere's works
and his influence on the culture of
the world was read by Mrs. Harden.
Two other papers on Shakspere were
read, both delightful, one by Miss
Madge Reid and one by Mrs. George
L. Coupe, Jr. A Shakspere game, sim
ilar to the old-fashioned game of con
sequences, was played and much en
joyed. The answers to roll call were
given with quotations from the great
poet's works, and the entire afternoon
was one of the most instructive and
interesting held this year by the club.

E. R. THOMAS.
New f York, April 25.—Edward R. Th otnas, former bank president and mill
ionaire, who has the credit of having paid the highest price ever recorded for
a horse, was the "angel” for the production of "The Mocking Bird,” a musi
cal comedy.
Edgar A. Ely, ivho assumed the leading male role in the production, ob
tained a verdict against Mr. Thomas for $4,550. He had sued on a claim for
a breach of contract for twenty-two weeks at a salary of S2OO weekly. He
was employed in September last for a season of thirty-five weeks.
The company disbanded at Savannah, after being on the road about ten
weeks. Mr. Ely received $l,lOO after he cam.e back to this city. It was the
contention that Mr. Thomas was a partner with Brady Grier in the produc
tion. Mr. Thomas, who appeared by Mr. A. H. Hummel, denied this, and
for Mr. Grier it was asserted that all the actors received the usual two
weeks’ notice and hence had no basis for a claim for damages. Others who
were in the company will now prosecute their suits.
STORM DAMAGED WORK
AT CUMBERLAND SOUND.
Dredge Cumberland \Yan Also Com
pelled to Ln Over at Tybee.
Col. James B. Quinn, division chief
of U. S. engineers, has returned from
his cruise on the Angler to Bruns
wick, Frederica, Fernandina and other
points in this division.
Because Col. Quinn and party made
the voyage by inland routes they did
not feel the effect of the northeast
storm which passed along the Atlantic
coast the latter part of last week.
The work at Cumberland sound,
where an effort Is being made to repair
the breach in the protection walls made
by the sea, was damaged by the storm,
and much that had been accomplished
undone. Col. Quinn inspected the work
after the storm and reports that he
does not believe the damage will be so
great as to cause any serious handicap
to the workmen.
The big sea-going suction dredge
Cumberland, which was at work in Sa
vannah harbor for some time, and then
transferred to Brunswick, had started
on her trip to Philadelphia just be
fore the storm broke. The northeaster
compelled the dredge to enter the Sa
vannah river at Tybee, and only yes
terday morning did she weigh anchor
and resume her journey north
ward.
Though the Cumberland was assign
ed to this district for the use of Col.
Quinn, the failure of the House to ap
propriate money for carrying on work
fhere made the dredge useless. As
Philadelphia had asked for it. Col.
Quinn decided to allow the dredge to
leave his division.
It is hoped that by the time work
is ready to be resumed on the channel
that the special dredge, now under
process of construction, will be ready
for use. This dredge, a description of
which has been published in the Morn
ing News, will be for the exclusive use
of this division.
Pupils' “Gnest Evening.”
The pupils of Mrs. W. H. Teasdale
gave a “guest evening” to their friends
at the studio, No. 18 Oglethorpe ave
nue, east, last night. The attendance
was large and the programme an un
usually tine one. This was printed
in full in Sunday's Morning News.
Each number was well sung and warm
ly received, particularly those of Miss
Ellen Morgan and of Miss Margaret
Chandler.
HAS A SAY.
The School Principal Talks About
Food.
The principal of a high school in a
flourishing California city says:
‘ For thirty-three years I worked iri
the school with only short summer
vacations. I formed the habit of eat
ing rapidly, masticated poorly which
coupled with my sedentary work led
to indigestion, liver trouble, lame back
and rheumatism.
“Upon consulting physicians some
doped me with drugs, while others
prescribed dieting and sometimes I
got temporary relief, other times not.
For 12 years I struggled along with
this handicap to my work, seldom
laid up but often a burden to myself
with lameness and rheumatic pains.
' Two years ago I met an old friend,
a physician, who noticed at once my
out-of-health condition and who pre
scribed for me an exclusive diet of
Grape-Nuts, milk and fruit.
“I followed his Instructions and in
two months I felt like anew man,
with no more headaches, rheumatism,
or liver trouble, and from that time
to this Grape-Nuts has been my main
food for morning and evening meals,
am stronger and healthier than I
have been for years, without a trace
of the old troubles.
' Judging from my present vigorous
physical and mental state I tell my
people Methuselah may yet have to
take second place among the old men,
for I feel like I will live a great many
more years.
“To all this remarkable change In
health I am indebted to my wise
friend and Grape-Nuts, and I hope
the Pasturn Company will continue to
manufacture this life and health-giv
ing food for several centuries yet. un
til I move to a world where indiges
tion is unknown.” Name given by
Postum Cos.. Battle Creek, Mich.
Ask any physician what he knows
about Crape-Nuts. Those who have
tried it know things
“There's a reason.”

mous little book, “The Road to Well

SAVANNAH MORNING NF.V/S: TUESDAY. APRIL 20. 1904.
PEACH CROP MAY
BREAK RECORD
SUCH IS PRESENT OUTLOOK.
BANNER YEAR TO DATE WAS ISOM
WITH CROP OF 1,770 CARS.
Since That Time Acreage Has Been
Greatly Increased So That With
Full Crop This Season Old Record
Will He Wiped Out—Last Season
Central of Georgia Handled Only
About Half the 1 sual Number of
Cars—Plum Crop Also un Impor
tant One and Outlook for It is
Good.
General Superintendent T. S. Moise,
of the Central of Georgia, says that
all reports from the peach growing dis
tricts of the state promise an unusual
ly large crop this season.
As is generally known the Central
handies practically the whole of this
crop, as well- as that of the plum grow
ers, and its management is, therefore,
in an excellent position to judge of the
conditions in those sections at all
times.
Last season, which was a very poor
one, the Central handled only
about half the usual number
of peaches. The banner season during
the history of the industry in Geor
gia was 1898 when the crop amounted
to 1,776 cars. Since that time the acre
age of peaches has been very largely
increased, so when it is known that a
full crop will be realized it means that
the shipments this year should very
largely exceed those of 1838.
The knowledge that the crop is to
be a large one will be of interest to
the public whose attitude toward the
peach is that of a well known bishop
of the Methodist Church who, on one
occasion, remarked to a friend that,
though he didn’t question God’s power
to make something better than peaches
and cream, the fact remained that he
didn’t.
CITY BREVITIES.
A ball will be given on next Monday
night at Knights of Pythias Hall un
der the auspices of Shoshanas Zion So
ciety. It is expected that the ball will
be largely attended.
The work of transferring the Ger
mania Bank from its present quarters
in the Provident building to the new
Germania Bank building will be done
to-day and the bank will open for
business in its new quarters to-mor
row.
At a meeting for organization held
by the state directors of the T. P. A.
at the Screven House last night Mr.
Maurice F. Myer was elected chairman
of the board. Mr. Myer was. until
the last state convention, state secre
tary.
All of the banks will be closed to
day because of the celebration of me
morial services to the Confederate
dead. Beginning on Saturday they
will start the summer early closing on
Saturdays, closing at 1 o’clock instead
of at 2, as at present.
Because of the absence from the city
of many of Its members and the fact
that the number of other affairs to
be held to-night would have cut down
its attendance, the University Club
lias postponed the banquet planned for
to-night. No other date has yet been
set for It.
The Military Examining Board of
the Savannah district will be very
busy during the next few weeks as
there are a number of officers-elect,
both local and from the country dis
tricts, who are to come before it for
examination before they can secure
their commissions from the Governor.
At a meeting of the Congregation
Mlckva Israel It has been decided to
change the hour for worship on Friday
evenings from 8:30 o’clock to sundown,
or, approximately 6:30 o’clock. The
early hour foT services obtained until a
few months ago. when. In order that
more of the members might attend
services the later hour was adopted.
This has been found unsatisfactory,
however, with the result that a return
will be made to the former hour. The
change becomes effective May 6.

get well, and reading of the cures your
Compound had made, I decided to try
it. I took only six bottles,hut itbuilt me

“My family and relatives were

The Francis S. Bartow Camp, Sons of
Confederate Veterans, expect to have
at least 100 men in line.
As the special escort of the Veterans
the Sons have made an extra effort
this year to have a large turnout and
the indications are that their work is
to be crowned with unusual success.
The following is the order in which the
different organizations will form and
their line of march:
Military escort, Battalion of Heavy
Artillery, State Troops, (Savannah
Volunteer Guards), preceded by their
band.
Four carriages, occupied by the offi
cers of the United Daughters of the
Confederacy and the allied associa
tions or chapters, the orator of the day
and the selected chaplain.
CATERPILLARS ARE
DESTROYING FRUIT
Farmers in Many Sections Report that the In
sects Have Done Oreat Damage.
The farmers In many sections report
that the caterpillars have made an
attack on the fruit trees, and that un
less something is done to kill off the
Insects they will destroy a great part
of the fruit crop.
Mr. H. H. Peeples of H. H. Peeples
& Sons, who owns a plantation in
Hampton county, South Carolina, re
ports that while at his farm Sunday,
he found the caterpillars had destroyed
almost all the leaves on the large oak
trees on his place, and had entered his
fruit orchard and were on the trees in
thousands. He is now making an ef
fort to kill off the Insects, and has a
man employed to knock them from the
trees.
Mr. Peeples said that the caterpillars
are entirely different from any that
he has ever seen. They are very much
like the cotton caterpillar, except they
have a long black streak on their
backs. They are about two inches
long, and go in droves of hundreds. He
says that within twenty-four hours
after they enter an orchard they strip

the trees of all the foliage and leave
them as bare as they are In mid
winter.
Mr. Peeples says that about the
only two things that will kill off the
catterplllars are Paris green and coal
oil. Paris green, he says, cannot be
put on the fruit trees because It is
liable to poison the fruit and the coal
oil does great damage to the fruit and
the trees too. Mr. Peeples is having
the insects knocked from the trees and
killed with the oil, while they are on
the ground. After they have been re
moved from a tree he has the tree
bandaged with a piece of cloth and
then paints the cloth over with pine
gum. He says the caterpillars can
not pass over the gum.
At a number of places In this coun
ty, Mr. Peeples says, the farmers are
being troubled by the same kind of
caterpillars. Mr. G. B. Oliver, a
farmer on the Ogeechee river, was in
the city yesterday, and reported thst
a section several miles square in his
section has been cleaned of all the
foliage by the insects and left entire
ly bare. It seems that the caterpil
lars only made their appearance a
week or ten days ago. but from re
ports are doing a lot of damage to the
fruit trees throughout this sec
tion.
