Little Inmates of Savannah Orphans- Home Given a Happy Afternoon. A pretty and interesting Christmas tree celebration was held yesterday afternoon at the Savannah Female Orphans’ Asylum. A number of visi tors and several ladies of the board of directors were present and enjoyed very much the simple and pretty ex ercises. The children were assembled about six o'clock in the hall, and singing a Christmas hymn passed into one of the rear rooms, -where the Christmas tree, attractively decorated and hung with gifts, was placed. The little in mates of the home sing unusually well, and the Christmas carols, a number of which were given, were much enjoyed. There were also a number of recitations, all appropriate to the season, by the children, some dialogues, and some little character pieces. All showed careful training, and the unconscious manner of the little folks as they went through their various parts was very attractive. After the programme, the Christmas gifts were distributed, each child re ceiving some toy of gift * statable to her age. It was through the kindness and generosity of many interested friends of the orphans that they were enabled to have the tree, with Its bright orna ments, as well as the personal gifts, and the lames of the board wish to extend their warm thanks to those who contributed in any way to the Christmas pleasure of the children. Some generous cheques were given, besides welcome donations of candy, oranges, turkeys, cakes, fireworks, Christmas cards, crackers, flour, and new winter hats for all the children. Appreciation was warmly expressed of the kindness of those who, by their generous donations, helped to make Christmas a happy one for the girls In the home. E\TE RT A1 NED WITH HEARTS. Miss Irene Withers entertained last evening with a delightful little party for Miss Evelyn Cranford and Miss Eulalie Converse of Valdosta, who are her guests for part of the holidays.

A silver dog’s head pin was given as the first prize, and for the second there was a silver pencil. Each of the vis itors received a pretty prize, one a picture, and one a pair of Turkish slip pers. At the end of the game a large Christmas pie was brought in, and each guest drew a souvenir.

Every one likes novelty in cuisine, and a Syrian or Turkish luncheon is quite worth trying. A luncheon strict ly Syrian always starts off with little glasses of arrac, a liqueur imported from Russia, and greatly resembling white ruin. This is followed by a rel ish called maza, not entirely unknown to the American table. The maza is made with -raw lamb minced and mix ed with cucumbers and tomatoes, with a dash of white pepper. To the soup, which is like any vegetable or chicken soup, a spoonful of koshk, which is fermented milk thickened with flour, is added. The koshk is bought al ready prepared, and is used much as the continentals use cheese. The dried, roasted peas are also added to the soup, just as the latter is served. If they are put in before they lose their crispness and delicacy. With the Sy rians all vegetables are stuffed—on ions, potatoes, squash, egg plant and tomatoes—and very delicious they are. The stuffing is made with the inside of the vegetable, chopped meat, brown ed in a pan with butter (goat butter), boiled rice, pinecone nuts and a few of the dried peas, which are called kummus. It is then replaced in the vegetable shell and baked until brown. Pistachio nuts, baklawa and nalwa, delicious sweetmeats similar to a mac caroon. only, more delicate, with a bar of curious construction called tahiny, form the dessert for both luncheon and dinner. A root which we know in this country as soap root, and used for washing delicate fabrics, and Is also used by the Syrians in the crude form for the same purpose, is boiled, dried and ground into powder, which makes the most exquisite ground work for sweetmeats or desserts. for cloudy days. For cloudy weather don’t forget that It is well to have a dash of red in the costume, even if one does not have an all red dress. Pipings of robin red breast red. or of turkey red leather, make a very handsome finish for a dress of sorrel brown, deep green or cranberry red. It is no harm to have a dashing red leather belt and a stock to match to put on when the skies are dull over head and when all other people are dressed in dull browns and impossible steel grays.

SURPRISE PARTY. “Jock Horner” Pie, Kentnre of tile Performance. The surprise party of The Young Woman’s Christian Association was given last night at the association hall on Abercorn street. An entertaining programme had been arranged, the fea ture of which was a ‘‘Jack Horner” pie. The pie was a clever imitation of the genuine article and from the crust protruded about' a hundred colored rib bons. Each member drew one of the ribbons from the pie and attached thereto tvas a Christmas present for the drawer. Mrs. Graham addressed the members on "Organization of Club Work In the Association,” and the subject was ably handled. A number of games were played during the evening, and the young ladies thoroughly enjoyed them selves in "Going to Jerusalem" to at tend "The Donkey Party.” Flinch and ping-pong were also played. The refreshments were served by the demonstrators of the National Biscuit Company and the menu consisted of fruit salads, cheese wafers, cakes, candy, hot chocolate and shreded wheat biscuit ice cream. The rooms of the hall were prettily decorated with sml lax and mistletoe, which hung from the pictures and chandeliers. ART EXHIBIT AT DE SOTO. Interesting Display of Pictures Visited by Many. The first annual art exhibit of the Newspaper Illustrators Association opened at the De Soto yesterday morn ing, where It will continue for three days. Hundreds of pictures of all de scriptions are displayed and all are arranged in such a manner that they are shown oft to the best advantage. Many visited the room in which the display is placed. A feature of the display is the num ber of Savannah men represented. One that attracted unusual comment was a picture of Mayor Herman Myers. About this picture is a touch of busi ness briskness, dash, and progressive ness that has marked the present ad ministration and many were the com ments heard .concerning it. The May or is shown with his coat thrown lightly back, his hands in his trous ers pockets, and his whole manner is pictured as that of an alert, up-to date business man and official. The picture of Mr. Horace P. Smart, who Is drawn as a typical globe-trot ter, also attracted considerable atten tion. Mr. Smart is pictured as a man whose only regret Is that this world is so small that it is so easily seen and he seems only to be wishing for another globe about which to Jour ney. The picture of other Savannah lans are typical and the subjects of much comment. The scenes and the pictures of past events, both real and fictitious, are excellent and were highly praised, though naturally the greatest Inter est to Savannahlans lay In the por traitures of Savannahlans, especially those- of greater prominence. Groups of admiring observers were before these pictures during the day. D£AD atVis (Tate. IlnAy of (irshsm Found Where He Hud Hern Slain. Hawklnsvllle, Gs., Dec.

AT THE THEATER The Arnold Stock Company, which is to be at the Savannah Theater all the week, gave its first performance yesterday afternoon, presenting for a Christmas matinee, "The Little Moth er.” The company is much above the average popular price show and the performance yesterday was well at tended. The production was liberal ly applauded and the audience seem ed pleased from beginning to end. The Introduction of a number of specialties between the acts added greatly to the pleasure of the per formance. All the specialties were good and won their share of the ap plause. Last night "A Daughter of Satan" was presented, and to-night, “Midnight in Chinatown” is to be given. The company will play for the remainder of the week with mati nees Wednesday and Saturday. Politics as a stage topic "was never successful from a box office point of view until George Ade came along with "The County Chairman,” (not a musi cal comedy), whereupon the Studebak er Theater, Chicago and Wallack’s Theater, New York, began to be jam med to the doors with eager and laugh ter convulsed audiences as it had never been before. The situation puzzled theatrical managers quite as deeply as the fact that Mr. Ade's comedy was the first rural play to capture Broadway, and they began to analyze. They found that the political element of "The County Chairman" was merely a back ground, and that standing out from it with prominence was a pretty and affecting love interest in pleasant con trast to an otherwise unbroken series of mirth provoking incidents. It was this even balancing of seri ous dramatic sentiment with irreslst ably comic episodes and situations that kept the crowds constantly, between the verge of tears and paroxysms of delight. Politics was a mere side is sue, yet it captured and captivated for the reason that the character cloth ed in it was a rugged, homely, hon est, kind hearted yet shrewd and adroit country wire puller who broke into the affections of the spectators from the very start. "The County Chairman” will be here on next Monday. “WIGGiNTofGEORGIA.” Commlsaioner XVnre’e* Fniiiou* Let ter Not Aeeepteil ns Good Advice to Employes. From the Philadelphia Public Ledger. Pension Commissioner Ware, who re signed from the Pension Office the other day, is a Western poet with a breezy and w'ild and woolly kind of way; something of an iconoclast, and with a good deal of the irreverence of anew country; a man with a dis tinct individuality, and, strangely enough, a person who completely typi fies that peculiar Kansas strain which became famous when Mary Elizabeth Lease and the Populists and the queer people generally were to the fore in the Sunflower State. Mr. Ware is not queer, he is original, and his con duct of the pension office, which he describes as twice as wearing as a sojourn in purgatory, as been tinged with a delightful touch of humor which the country has much enjoyed. The Ware administration has been one of The commissioner had a habit of disciplining grown men and other loafers who happened to be caught looking at a newspaper In busi ness hours; he made startling proc lamations about inconsequential things; his office was a good source ot news. The one thing which attracted the most attention, and which may be considered the Warean classic—if one may be singled out of a body so uni formly excellent—\vas his Immortal placard on Wiggins of Georgia, con spicuously posted in the corridor of the pension building: Wiggins of Georgia is a model. His virtues should be copied toy all gov ernment clerks. Wiggins of Georgia does not lie awake at nights thinking of promotions. His annual leave does not disturb his dreams. Wiggins of Georgia is entitled to a place in the hall of fame. Wiggins of Georgia is promoted. His salary henceforth is $1,200. Poor Wiggins of Georgia! We have always wondered If he will ever be able to recover from that thrust. Per haps it will stir his blood as the years roll on and as his companions Jeer. In sheer desperation he will mayhap arouse himself and resolve by heaven to escape that encomium; perhaps he will become great or run amuck. The fame of Wiggins of Georgia was blown to every corner of the United States; people who advise young men how to attain success pointed to Wig gins of Georgia; pursy trust magnates who employ thousands of workers called attention to him; country news papers held him up for emulation; great was Wiggins of Georgia. We are under no obligations to Mr. Ware, and we say to all young men to beware of the Wiggins of Georgia Idea. There are two ways of looking at things in the world. Dr. Johnson was passing along one of London’s streets on Sunday morning on his way to church, when he saw a Frenchman skinning an eel. The. foreigner cursed the eel frightfully because It would, not keep still while he was taking Its unfortunate hide off, and Dr. John son, who hated Frenchman and for eigners rather unreasonably, always cited the instance as proof of his con tention that all Frenchmen were fools. From the standpoint of the employer who is so shortsighted that he wants the kind of clerks who always keep still; the clerks who let the wood of their desks enter their souls; who have A CIVIL WAR CAPTAIN Talks to the Point. “Until about two year* ago I had had pile* for about 30 year*, at time* bleeding and very painful. I got a fifty cent box of Pyramid Pile Cure at the drug store, and used it and was en tirely cured; got another box In case I needed It, and as the plies did not re turn In six month* I gave the remedy to a friend of mine who wanted the doctor to operate to cure him. My friend *nld he w’ouid u*e the 'pyra mids' but he knew they would do him no good, but they cured him of piles of twenty-five years standing.

The majority of people labor under the Impreaslon that an operation Is necessary In aevere coses of pile*, or hemorrhoid*, and are very skeptical regarding the remedial virtues of any medicinal compound. Testimony like the above should certainly have a ten dency to dispel this Impression, al though It Is odd that such a fallacy should prevail, and still more odd (hut no many people should think, an oper ation effects a permanent cure, where as thv contrary la more often the r.,aa.

Be hold the meek slave who is content! The young men who are employed ought not to pay any attention to that idea; they ought to fhink of promo tions and dream of them, and of course they ought to work for them and de serve them. The persons who want the promotion when they have not done the work are very, very foolish crea tures. but they are perhaps of as much assistance in making the world whirl around as the Wigginses of Georgia, who "play safe," keep still and reach their limit of 5i. 200 a year. THE BYE-BYE CHAIR. Holman Day, in Person’s. The reign o’ dad Is the dusky region; mother may hold the throne All the day, but. tea away, daddy comes Into his own. Oho, then, crown o' the tasseled cap, robe o' the dressing gown! I'm king at night by honest right, though a slave to trade down town. What news is this by Courier Cat? One marching to destroy? Invasion led by one o' rank—by Em peror Billyboy? Again 'tis proved my kingly crown is parlous thing to wear. Here’s siege and scaling, rout and sack of Fortress Easy Chair. And now, retreat! My kingly ruse! The sofa citadel. What? Mined beneath? Then up white flag! To kingly hopes fare well! Hold, O bombarding cushion host, I yield to puissant Bill. The cmpwor has won to-ntght! I live to do his will. The victor’s terms? Nor harsh are they; a kiss, a toss or two. My tyrant, these-1 gladly yield to such a lord as you. Now, crib! What, no? Your mother’s arms? I grant the boon with Joy. Ho, up the stair! Good queen pre pare! Here’s Emperor Billy-boy. May I sit down in Slumber-town and listen to the tunes That mother voice In cadence soft and tender accents croons? Let me sit down In this dear realm whose throne is built so fair — The throne no man may e’er dispute— a mother's Bye-Bye Chair. I'm hungry for the quaint old songs, old lullabies, my dear! The Now is dim, the Then shines clear as I am list'nlng here. I feel the clasp of mother arms come round me in the gloom, I seem to hear another voice within this hallowed room, The thrill of old-time melodies is in that mystic sound, The sanctity of old-time love encom passeth me round. The World at times has beat me back in battles I have fought, Not always has the god Success touch ed tasks in which I wrought; Full oft has Fortune dealt a blow in stead of bent to bless, And heartache followed close upon the heels of happiness. But often when a solemn song of woe my heart Intoned. And often when the spirit writhed and all my nature groaned. Then stole refrain that softened pain, not phrased by mortal tongue, But born of mem'ries old and sweet— the songs my mother sung When in the dusk she held me close and gently stroked my hair, And bore me with her down to Sleep in that old Bye-Bye Chair. My boyhood’s friend went wrong to day; the same old story, dear! Temptation, yielding, sin and fall. And thoughtless worldlings sneer! But I who sit here by your side and hear you sing to-hlght, And gaze behind me on the years with love and faith alight, I do not pride my falt’rfng feet upon the race they’ve made, But search my heart and bless the part that mother love, has played. I know he lacked the mother hands that fondly press and mold, I know he lacked the mother smile that turns the dross to gold; And at the crossroads where t!)e tracks of Right and Wrong are dim There was no shining mother light to point the way to him. The callous cynics of the world gage sin by what is done, But I can measure life by love of mother to her son; And God, who knows the human heart, has mercy, dear, to spare To him whose soul-strength was not won in mother's Bye Bye Chair. Sleep, little boy—my Billy-boy! The World Is Just outside. It does not fight the pillow fight; 'ti* stern In wrath and pride. Its blows are blows that shiver strength; it smiles to see a fall; It does not pity Idle tears nor heed a craven's call. Yet victory Is not to him who wantonly given pain. Who wrests their weapons from the weak and tramples on the slain.' For chivalry, it is not dead, nor honor hut a name. And bitter scorn be meed of him who brings his mother shame. Yet he who, harking back to youth, goes forth and nobly tries To color life to match the light that shines from mother’s eyes. And he who with his earnest faith his after life attunes To those old songs of honest love hla mother softly croons, May walk adown the ways of Life, and in his daily prayer Thank God that all his best was born in that old Bye-Bye Chair. ALCOHOL AS FOOD. One and a Half Fluid Ounces a Day Allowed by the Authorities. From the Lancet. It has now been established by sev eral well known classical researches that up to a point alcohol is a food and past that point It Is a poison. To draw a sharp line of demarcation which shall define for ail persons when its action as a food exactly ceases and when Its effect as a poison exactly be gins is barely possible. The tissues of different individuals differ greatly In regard to their oxidizing capacity, and it is a matter of common observation (bat there are person* who oan toler ate more alcohol than others without apparent Injury to health. Again, oc cupation and environment very mate rially affect the powers of the body to assimilate alcohol. Thu* men who pur sue an active life In the open air are able to Indulge In alcohol more free ly than are those who are engaged In sedentary occupations. It is all a question of functional ac tivity, of the condition of the tissue to oxidize the combustible material pre sented to it. It ha* been conjectured that the oxidizing power of the tissues, over nlcohol In particular, must have steadily diminished since the time when our ancestore drank their three bottlee of port with impunity. Such a performance at any rate Is seldom heard of nowadays. Tha quantity of alcohol Imbibed In such an exploit muet obviously be greatly In excess of the limit of the body's oxidising ca pacity, aa deduced from srlenttfla expe riment. One ands half fluid ounces of pure alcohol Is the utmost quantity thit can b* completely utilised as food In Ihe human body per dt*m, according to * apenniental observation, A quantity Ingreted additional to that amount, therefore, may escape oxidation, In* *n phi a products of combust ion, so to CASTOR IA for Infants and Children. Castoria is ft harmless substitute for Castor Oil, Pare goric, Drops and Soothing Syrups. It is Pleasant. It contains neither Opium, Morphine nor other Narcotic substance. It destroys Worms anti allays Feverishness. It cures Diarrlitea and Wind Colie. It relieves Teeth ing Troubles and cures Constipation. It regulates tho Stomach u.sid Dowels, giving healthy ami natural sleep. The Children’s Panacea—The Mother’s Friend.

Trial bottle 10c t 'll II i a mo m I speak, may be formed and toxic effects ensue. It is therefore, Interesting to consider whut amounts of the ordinary alcoholic drinks contain this permissi ble allowance of alcohol—sav, one and a halt’ fluid ounces-which Is assumed to be the extreme limit of tho oxidiz ing power of the body. Taking brandy and whisky to contain 50 per cent, by volume of alcohol, three fluid ounces or six tnblespoonfuls of these spirits would contain the maxi mum allowable dally dose. This would be the equivalent of about two glasses of brandy or whisky and water per diem, each containing three tablespoon fuls of spirit aitd a half pint of water, to exceed whU h would be to risk a toxic result. Port and sherry, with their average of 20 per cent, of alco hol, would contain tho permissible amount of alcohol in seven ounces, or n little over two wlneglassfuls, assum ing each to contain about three fluid ounces. The limited quantity of white wines, claret or champagne, with 10 per cent, of alcohol, would be fifteen fluid ounces, while one and a half fluid ounces of alcohol represent about thir ty fluid ounces or a pint and a half of table bier. The question, is however, complicat ed in the case of wines and beer, be cause these contain nutritive matters in addition. Apnrt from the fact that to avoid injury to health the amount of alcohol consumed per diem should be limited strictly to one and a half fluid ounces, it cannot be regarded for practical purposes as a food In the sense of a true reparative. It Is at best a producer of hent and energy, and then frequently at the expense of healthy cellular activity, while Its cost from the point of view of actual food value has been calculated to be eight times more than that of bread. —Patient—“Great Scott! Doctor, that's an awful big bill for one week’s treatment!” Physician—‘‘My dear fel low. it you knew what an interesting case yours was and how strongly I was tempted to let It go to a post mortem you wouldn’t grumble at a bill three times as big as this.”—Chicago Tribune.
