TEN FAITHFULS OUT FOR HARD
WORK BY MOONLIGHT LAST NIGHT
PLAYS AT THE RATE OF EIGHT TO
TUB MIM'TE.
TOILSOME WEEK HAS SET
IN FOR LOCAL ATHLETES.

NEXT MONDAY.
Ho Now* from Jacksonville a# to Ar
rival of New Players—Savannah
Aaaiii Picked for the XV Inner.
Sale of Seats Is Heaviest on Rec

Nialit This Week Behind Closed
Gates—George Butler of Atigiiwla
XVIII Referee Game.
For various reasons there were only
ten faithfuls out to practice last night
when Capt. Cope lined the men up, but
the work was the best that has been
done in several days.
Eight plays to the minute was the
way the team was sent through two
hours grinding work, and all were
ready to remain still for a stiff rubbing
down, when they finally landed at the
baths. Those out in uniform were
Futch, Johnson, Black, Rossiter, Artly,
Smith, Sullivan, Doty, Shortridge and
Cope. Cornwell was present, but was
not in uniform, being slightly bruised
from a hard practice recently.
Harmon, Mclntire. Lansberg, Strong,
Cubbedge, I,evy, Monsees, Colquitt and
Morgan will all be out for to-night's
practice, and every night for the rest
of the week, if possible.
In Ilurd to Predict.
No one can forecast the result of
the Christmas game without knowing
what Jacksonville’s line up will be. If
Ihe Jays have not secured Council,
Thompson and the other all-Southern
man they were talking about they will
lose “again.” If they secure them
before the game now they will suffer
the same fault that was evidence In
the Charleston all-star team last New
Year’s—lack of team work. If they
have already secured them and are
drilling with them daily, Savannah’s
task will be a very difficult one.
With Jacksonville lining up ‘as In the
Thanksgiving Day game, It is easy
to pick the winner in the Blue and
White. Odds will be about the same
as on the last game. There will be
few. however, who will care to again
wager th‘at Jacksonville will not score.
Mr. George Butler, of Augusta, will
referee the game Monday. Mr. Butler
fs one of the best known officials in the
South, and has officiated at a number
of the big games between college teams
this season. He will also officiate in
the New Year’s game.
Flay* of tbe Team.
No Intimation has been received here
as to the Jays having made any
changes in the style of play to be
adopted in the Christmas game. If
none is made the triple passes em
ployed by the Yancys and the close
tackle cross-buck may not prove so
effective as in the last meeting with
the Blue and White. Football, as it
will be played Christmas and New
Year, will be, perhaps, the most varied
ever seen in the South.
Savannah represents as distinctive
type Iff one respect as Jacksonville
does In another. Worth and Hogan
Yancy, obtaining most of their train
ing under co-aches from Pennsylvania,
have modeled the Jay play after that
style. And who can say it was not
about the best shown on any Eastern
gridiron this season?
Savannah’s play is much after that
of Cornell, with some of the Prince
ton formations, which have been
adopted by Cornell. Even in the game
on Thanksgiving Savannah's badly
crippled team exhibited more versatil
ity of play than did the opponents.
Practically only two men on the Jay
line up took the ball, while tackles,
backs and ends all were sent with the
pigskin for Savannah.
Charleston'* Style of Play.
Charleston will exhibit an entirely
different style of play from either Sa
vannah or Jacksonville. It will be
the old Yale machine play. Close lock
ed tackled plays against the line, quick
and sure openings with an occasional
half back try between tackle and end.
With the weight and strength and lack
of speed, Charleston's tactics have
been selected with rare judgment by
that wily little quarter Tutweller.
All day yesterday telephone calls
were received at Israel’s pool room for
tickets for the Christmas game. Near
ly 500 will have been reserved by to
night, and those who wait until the
last minute to get a ticket will have
to be content with a seat that could
be better if selected in time. For the
Christmas game the bleacher at the
eastern end of the Held will be re
served.
READY FOR THE FIGHT.
Odd* Are on Rrllt and the Betting
Tims Far Ha* Been I.lnlit.
San Francisco, Dec. 19.—Not until a
few hours before their fight to-mor
row night will Jimmy Britt and Bat
tling Nelson leave their camps. Their
work, however, practically ceased yes
terday, and the young boxers to-day
did little more than move about in a
recreative way.
Nelson Is slightly under weight and
Britt a fraction over the mark, so the
forfeit money Is safe on both sides. To
day each of the pugilists expressed
confidence In the outcome.
Betting on the match has thus far
been light, with Britt the favorite and
Nelson supporters asking for great
odds. To-day 30 to 8 were the figures
given around sporting headquarters,
and to-night the Nelson men were
asking 10 to 7. The heavy betting Is
not looked for until to-morrow.

Pawtucket's stumble at the post m

FIRST REGIMEnTdRILLS
IN PARK EXTENSION.
Manual of Arms and Bayonet Exer
cises Practised.
Instead of the usual squad drills
that have been in vogue at the First
Regiment for some time, all the com
panies were drilled together in the
Park Extension last night. Despite
the approach of the holidays and the
bad weather, the attendance was
large, showing enthusiasm on the part
of the mtm.
The companies were formed in their
respective rooms and were double
quicked to the Park, where they wore
drawn up together. They were first
drilled in the manual of arms and
afterwards in extended order. The
bayonet exerolses were also given.
Drills on the two following Monday
nights, owing to the Christmas holi
days, will be optional with the com
pany commanders.
HIBERNIANS QUARTERLY SESSION.
Routine Business Marked Greater
Part of the Meeting.
The quarterly meeting of the Hiber
nian Society held last night at the
quarters in the Hussars' Club was
largely attended.
The greater part of the session was
occupied with the transaction of rou
tine business that came ftp for final
disposition A number of
for membership were received and rv
referred to the Membership Committee
for a report. The president appointed as
stewards for the ensuing year Messrs
Arthur J. O’Hara, M. A. O’Byrne and
Joseph TV. Heffcrnan.
Following the business session an
informal social session was held. Re
freshments, followed by cigars, made
the evening a delightful one. Genial
humor running through impromptu ad
dresses and sparkling wit made the
gathering one of those so character
istic of this organization.
AT THE THEATER
"The Jewel of Asia,” to be heard to
night at 8:45 o’clock, is one of three at
tractions which have successfully inter
rupted their runs at Broadway play
houses and moved to another theater
without suffering from loss of business.
“Florodora" and Maxine Elliott in
Her Own Way." are the other two.
It Is a musical comedy with a gen
uine story, furnishing a motive for
every principal and all the chorus. Its
book is by Frederick Ranken, author
of several of the Bostonians' successes,
“Nancy Brown” and “The Ameer."
Its score Is from the pen of Ludwig
Englander, one of the most successful
composers of light music in America.
Vera Mlchelena, the prima donna, is
the youngest woman on the American
stage holding so important a position.
At 18 years of age she left a convent
to go upon the stage, and was pro
moted to the principal role within six
months.

subject of federal appointments In
Georgia. Maj. Hanson says he has
not been invited to confer with the
President on the subject. does not ex

FAMOUS DOGS OF FICTION.
How They Have Been Treated by
Great Writers.
From the London Standard.
Although it may be conceded that
among the animals *of fiction the horse
holds first place, the part played by
dogs, especially In modern literature,
is very large and important. The
pages of many famous novels have
presented us with members of the ca
nine race as carefully drawn and as
lovingly delineated as any of the hu
man characters Introduced. Not in
frequently the role of hero or heroine
is doubled with or wholly supported
by a dog, and In numberless Instances
it is the intervention, conscious or un
conscious, of a dog upon which the
whole plot turns. As might be ex
pected, It Is among the works of such
novelists as are specially noted as dog
lovers that the finest and most fre
quent descriptions of their four-footed
friends are to be found, and naturally
Sir Walter Scott, well known for his
extreme attachment to dogs, heads the
list.
Big dogs are Scott’s special favorites,
and bis noblest example is Sir Ken
netlTs hound Roswal, who bears an all
important part in the plot of “The
Talisman.” Roswal is described as a
large stag hound of splendid propor
tions and great sagacity, who shares
his master’s watch on St. George’s
Mount, beside the banner of England,
above the camp of the Crusaders.
Tempted by woman’s guile, the knight
forsakes his post for a short space,
leaving Roswal to guard the flag. A
base attack is made in his absence,
and Kenneth returns to find the flag
gone and its faithful defender wound
ed apparently to death in its defense.
Kenneth’s remorse for the violation of
the English banner is scarcely more
keen than his grief over the dog, who
wags his tail and licks his master's
hand, even in the agonies of death. It
is a most touching scene, drawn by a
master hand, and the reader's satisfac
tion is not less than the knight’s is
represented to be when the Arabian
physician, Saladin, disguised, appears
opportunely, and by his timely minis
trations saves the hound, who lives
to identify his till then unknown as
sailant by dragging him bodily from
his horse. In “Ivanhoe" Gurth, the
swineherd, -possesses a noteworthy dog,
Fangs by name, “a rugged, wolfish
looking dog, a sort of lurcher, half
mastiff, half greyhound,” who assists
his master in the care of his refractory
charges, is wounded by Cedric the Sax
on, and whose adventures are carried
on throughout the book.
In “Woodstock.” again, Scott draws
with loving touch the portrait of Sir
Henry Lee's famous mastiff. Bevis,
who in the first scene accompanies the
knight to the church, where, “bating
an occasional temptation to warble
along with the accord, he behaved him
self as decorously as any of the con
gregation and returned as much edi
fied, perhaps, as some of them," who
hud, moreover, saved his master’s life,
defended his daughter Alice from as
sault and fastened his teeth into the
sacred person of King Charles 11, when
the distinguished monarch was seeking
refuge in Woodstock Lodge. Among
Scott’s dogs mention must also needs
be made of the famous breed of pep
per-and-mustard terriers described in
"Guy Mannering,” and which have
ever since borne the name of their im
mortal owner, Dandie Dlnmont. "I
have six letters at home, forebye oth
er dogs,” said that worthy. “There’s
Auld Pepper and Auld Mustard, and
Little Pepper and Little Mustard. I
had them a’ regularly entered, first
wi' the tods and brocks, and now they
fear nothing that ever cam’ wi' hairy
skin on’t.”
Dickens was a dog lover, and pos
sessed several dear canine friends. It
is recorded in his biographies how
greatly moved he was on one occa
sion by the sympathetic concern evin
ced by two of his favorites. Turk and
Linda, when during a walk he was
suddenly struck with lameness. Bois
terous companions as they always
were, the sudden change In him caus
ed them boundless distress, and for
the rest of the Journey they crept hy
the side of their master as slowly as
he did. never turning from him. The
finest dog character in Dickens's nov
els is undoubtedly Diogenes, the fa
vorite of little Paul Domboy, and sub
sequently presented by Mr. Toots to
his sister Florence. “As ridiculous a
dog ns one would meet with on a
summer's day: a blundering, ill-favor
ed, clumsy, bullet-headed dog. contin
ually acting on n wrong idea that
there was an enemy‘in the neighbor
hood whom It was meritorious to bark
at." Nevertheless, despite his ie
eullarltles, his "habit of carrying his
tongue out as If he had come express

Ms health,” hts falling upon the man
servant, "morally convinced that he
was the enemy whom he had harked
at around tbe cornet all his life and
had never seen yet.” Diogenes la a
most estimable animal and holda our
affertlona till the end of the hook.

clings to him with dumb fidelity
through all, and in the last scene,
when the fugitive murderer hangs
himself from the roof of the house,
perishes in a wild attempt to reach
his body. Reference is also owing to
the performing dogs in the "Old Curi
osity .Shop.” one happy member of
which troupe of artists, being unlucky
enough to lose a halfpenny during the
day, is denied his supper and obliged
instead to grind mournful music out
of a barrel organ, “sometimes in quick
time, *sometimes in slow; hut never
leaving off for an instant,” while
watching with despairing eyes his
companions at their meal. Lovers of
"Pickwick" also will recall Mr. Jingle’s
celebrated Ponto, described by his mas
ter in characteristic fashion—" Pointer

—entered enclosure whistled dog
stopped—whistled again—Ponto! Ponto!
—no go—stock still—would not move—
staring at a board—‘Gamekeeper has
orders to shoot all dogs found in this
Inclosure— would not pass it—valuable
dog that—very!"
Thackeray, however, makes little use
or mention of dogs. George Eliot, also
lays no great stress upon them, though
Adam Bede has a faithful friend in
Oyp, a gray sheep dog, and Bartle
Massay a brown tan bitch. Vixen,
whom he refers to contemptuously as
a woman. "Where’s the use of talking
to a woman with babies? She’s got no
conscience—its all run to milk.” Lyt
ton makes great capital of the per
forming poodle. Sir Isaac, alias Mops,
in "What Will He Do With It?” and
Bran, the huge British mastiff, is an
all important character in Kingsley’s
"Hypatia," where he plays no small
part in the redemption of the young
Jew, Raphael Aben-Ezra. There is a
dog incident in “Yeast," and a dog in
the “Water Babies,” who was a real
dog on a ship till he fell overboard
into the sea. where he "kicked and
sneezed so hard that he sneezed him
self clean out of his skin and turned
into a water dog. and followed Tom
the whole day to the Other-end-of-No
where.” Such a keen sportsman as
Whyte Melville was sure to introduce
a dog into his novels, and there is no
more touching or beautiful story In all
fictional dog annals than Is found in
“The Interpreter.” One of Capt. Mar
ryat’s best tales, “The Dog Fiend.” is,
as Its title reveals, entirely about a
dog, an ill omened cur rejoicing in the
appropriate name of Snarleyow; and
Bronte lovers will not need reminding
of the dog in “Shirley,” or of Roches
ter’s dog in “Jane Eyre.” Coming to
living authors, we may Instance Conan
Doyle’s “Hound of the Baskervilles,”
Anstey’s “Black Poodle” and Ollphant’s
“Owd Bob,” as playing title roles in
their own annals. Tletjens In "The
Recrudescence of Itnray,” and Blnkie
in “The Light That Failed.” Miss
Fowler, Miss Cholmondeley, Stanley
Weyman, Seton, Merriman and other
authors have written of dogs too nu
merous to mention, though special men
tion is surely merited by Montmorency,
whose presence added so greatly to the
remarkable adventures of “Three Men
In a Boat."
TEXTILE STRIKE AT
FALL RIVER NEARS END
“Manufacturers Will Not Compromise,” Says
Mr. H. F. Harris.
Mr. Henry F. Harris, the owner of
a large cotton knitting mill near Wor
cester, Mass., arrived In Savannah yes
terday. Mr. Harris Is accompanied
by the superintendent of his mill, Mr.
George A. Ayer. They will remain
here for several days before returning
to Massachusetts.
Their object In visiting the South
is to learn something of the cotton
section and especially how sea Island
cotton Is handled. Mr. Harris’ mill is
In the midst of the section that is at
present affected by the strike In the
cotton mills at Fall River, and when
asked lor his opinion as to the prob
able* result of the strike, he said It is
a question of the “survival of the fit
test."
“There will not be any compromise
made by the manufacturers," he said,
"as the state of affairs has reached
the t>olnt where it has to be decided
whether the workmen or manufactur
ers will run the plants.” Mr. Harris
said tne weavers have a special griev
ance to make, that would probably be
considered, If it were not for other de
mands made toy the unions. The weav
ers are endeavoring to have something
definite understood In reference to the
number of looms they will be required
to run. This could easily be adjusted,
if It were not for the other claims.

WOMEN OF MEXICO.
Their Home Life and Fantlmea—Hor
rible 801 l Fight*.
From the New York Tribune.
Asa cure for the American disease
of nervousness there is nothing like
a visit to Mexico, according to Mrs.
Bert Seaboldt, formerly editor and pro
prietor of The Stock and Mining Jour
nal of Salt Lake City, who has just re
turned from that picturesque country.
“No one in Mexico does anything
more than he can help,” says Mrs.
Seaboldt, “and the upper classes have
learned how to avbid almost every
thing that requires exertion. The men
spend their time riding and drinking
champagne, and the women lie around
and look pretty. It may become mo
notonous after a time, but for a few
months, after the strenuous atmosphere
of the United States, the eternal ma
nana, manana (to-morrow, to-morrow)
of the Mexicans is like the balm of
Gilead.
"And the Mexicans are the most hos
pitable of people to the stranger with
in their gates. They take you right
into their life, and If they like you
your room will be a bower of blossoms
during the whole of your stay, and
there will be a continuous serenade un
der your windows. They are very
primitive people, and the serenade,
which we are accustomed to associate
only with poetry, is a matter of every
day life with them. Perhaps that is
because they have real latticed win
dows under which to sing their sere
nades.
"Another idyllic feature of Mexican
life is their habit of eating out of
doors. It is quite the custom among
the upper classes in the City of Mex
ico to drive out to the President’s pal
ace for breakfast. The grounds and
part of the palace are open to the pub
lic, and a restaurant which is a fash
ionable place of resort has been erected
there. By the time you get back from
breakfast it is time for luncheon, and
you go somewhere else for that. In
the afternon you sleep or drive, and at
night you go to one of the hotels for
dinner, or perhaps to the floating gar
dens, which look like huge lily pads
on the surface of the water.
“For the afternoon drive you will
probably go to the Alameda, or matri
monial market. Marriage is the only
occupation open to the women of Mex
ico, and they make a regular business
of it. Mothers take their marriage
able daughters, dressed to kill, to the
Alameda, and drive slowly up and
down, to and fro. The marriageable
men do the same thing, and when a
young man sees a girl who takes his
fancy he follows her carriage and finds
a way of obtaining an introduction.
This has to be done through her par
ents, for no young girl is ever allowed
to see a man alone.
“The bull fights afford another op
portunity for the matchmakers. They
occupy the same place in the social
life of Mexico as the theater does with
us. The women go in their best feath
ers, not only to see, but to be seen.
It seems a strange place for the culti
vation of the tender passions, and it
fs hard to understand how the Mexi
cans, who are in some ways so lov
able, should take such a delight In
blood. It is the Indian strain in them,
I suppose. The bull fights are simply
horrible. I have seen horses with their
legs ripped from top to bottom, or with
blood gushing from a wound in the
side, like water from a hydrant. And
yet they would be forced before the
bull again and compelled to endure
fresh tortures. The fights take place
on Sunday afternoons, and people at
tend them as regularly and quite as
much as a matter of course as they go
to church.”
In this land of indolence there is no
such thing as careers for the women,
The strike has not entered upon its
twenty-second week, and there Is no
more prospect of a settlement with
the mills than there was the day it
was inaugurated, he said. The mill
owners realize It is a fight to the death
and are firm in their determination
not to give in. Mr. Harris states that
several of the mills are running with
short help, and others have almost
as many’hands as are needed. In his
opinion, the Federal Union will be able
to furnish funds to the strikers for a
continuance of the strike for several
weeks longer, but after that time he
cannot see how the strikers can hold
out.
The issue is too grave for any weak
ening on the part of the manufactur
ers, he says, for It would mean the
annihilation of their business In the
future. Mr. Harris is not as violent
ly opposed to unions as would be ex
pected, but he says that some unions
are ruinous to business, and unless
properly conducted the harm they can
do to business in general cannot be
estimated. He spoke highly of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
and said that an organization of its
kind is mutually helpful. This organi
zation requires a man to be of a high
standard of Intelligence, and must ab
stain from the use of liquor, and is,
therefore, beneficial to the railways.
Mr. Harris does not believe the ma
jority of the cotton strikers are in
sympathy with the strike, but that
they were compelled to act when call
ed upon.

tains a description of this extraordinary scene, the most
sensational passage so far in “Frenzied Finance.” Every

doings of the big life insurance companies.

even of the most modest variety, Mrs.
Seaboldt says.
“The women of the upper classes are
often very well educated,” she says,
“and there are some good convent
schools, but their education is acquired
merely as an accomplishment, and
they never make any practical use of
it. Their only business is to look pret
ty before marriage, and take care of
their children afterward. Their lives
are certainly very dull. Much as I
enjoyed Mexico, I do not envy the lot
of the Mexican women. Yet American
women, even if they are known to
have been in business, are treated
beautifully there. The lower class
women have more liberty and wider
interests than those of the upper
classes, and it is they who do the
beautiful drawn work for which Mex
ico is famous.”
—Senator Cpckrell and Joseph W.
Folk, of Missouri, were to m'ake cam
paign addresses in the same town on
the same day. They left St. Louis to
gether, and until a late hour chatted
in the smoking compartment. When
they finally decided to retire, Mr.
Folk noticed the Senator remove his
shoes and then carefully place them
under the covers at the foot of his
berth. He could not restrain his curi
osity. "Why do you place your shoes in
bed with you?" he asked quizzically.
“Sh-lj-h! Not a word!" said the
Senator. “I am to address a peculiar
class of my constituents to-morrow.
They are gentlemen from the tall tim
ber. If I left those shoes out the
porter would polish them, would he
not?” Most assuredly he would,” said
Mr. Folk. “Well, down in this part
of the country the people don’t stand
for statesmen with polished shoes.”
