■Question #
Quite a stir has been caused in local
society circle* by the paragraphs in
the society column of Sunday’* Times,
in whiqjb society editress takes the
members o* The Cotillion club severely
to taek for not inviting the young
ladies of the city to participate in
their germane.
The paragraph was written anent
the last german of the club, last
Thursday night. It says I bat there
wa# a very small attendance, and lays
the blame to th young u>“n, who, it
ia alleged, neglect to invite the young
ladies and to provide thrm with
escorts. Ths piragrapb calls upon the
yooug ladies to ‘•stand by tone an
other” and to 'vise in a body and re
fuse to attend the first german.<xfter
Lent.” It asserts that “those aie very
fortunate girls who get to attend every
olub german,” and o I flies that it is
downright young
men to negleot the youngljudies when
they have aoeepted courtfdes at their
homes, and have the privilege of call
ing on them.
The paragraph has been the only
theme of discuMton in society circles

considering the advro of the society
editress, and arranging to give the
young men an unpleasant surprise, by
refusing, in a body, to attend the next
german. But what do the young men
say?
4 Times reporter yesterday inter
viewed tr. Morton Marye, who is the
president of the Cotillion club, and,
consequently, authorised to speak offi
cially In regard to the criticism. Mr.
Marye Is an au'hority in social mat
ters, and bis views are interesting. He
aays t
“We can ouly Ignore the criticism.
We shall pay no attention to it, be
cause we consider it unjust. At the
Thursday night german, every mem
ber of the club was present except
three. These three were ill, and could
not come out. Every member present
brought a young lady. We can’t ex
pect a member to bring two young
ladies, nor can we expect the sick
young men to act as escorts . 1 under
stand that tbe criticism has created a
sensation—let it create, we say.”
Vice President W. J. Butte, of tbe
club, satd: “If tbe Brunswick boys
saye flighted the girls, it is only re
taliation for tbe manner in which we
Wre treated when the Baobe officers
ere here,”
Other members of the Cotillion club
declined to opinion, al
though disclaiming any intention of
•lighting any young lady.
A society young lady, who was in
terviewed, bu(*who absolutely refused
to talk unless her name was kept
secret, said,with some Warmth : “Your
soolety editress is right. Tbe young
ladies in this city have been shame
fully neglected by tbe yonng men
Why, when a visiting young lady
comes to the city, the young men
igaore tbe Brunswick girls entirely.
I remember a not very remote instance,
when there were four or five visiting
gjrls at a german, and the Brunswick
girls actually bad to sit -through tbe
greater part of tbe dancing without
partners. We can't retaliate by danc
ing with visiting ;oung men, because
there are rarely any of them admitted
to the germans. The only way for tbe
neglected Brunswick girls to do is to
Ignore all Invitations sent out by the
Cotillion Club, and allow them to have
their dacoes as they seem to want,
them, exclusively stag.” : ..
Some interesting developments are
promised; because, when Brunswiok
aociety gets excited, something is sure
to happen.

GREAT ACTIVITY.
England and France About to Como To
gethtr is Africa-
London, Feb. 21.—Great activity ia
manifested by oolonial officials of
tbe West African department and
among high military officials who are
going out to l.agoes, Hinterland. Tbe
latter are inclined to discredit the
news which reached Alaska, on the
Niger coast protectorate, yesterday, to
the effect that two Frenh expeditions
are advancing towards Skoto, the
capital of tbe Sultanate of that name,
which is within the British sphere of
influeuee, hut it is added that if the
news ehpuld be confirmed it must be
followed by a declaration of war.
The St. James Gazette this afternoon
in commenting on the snbjeet, says :
“If the invntlon of Skoto Is diredted
from Faris, it admits being of one
ioterpreatlon, and the seriousness of
tbe situation is increased when it is
remembered that these invations of
British territory must have been
planned weeks before the present
ferment in Fane over Dreylos. It
would appear that the Frencbcabinet,
foreseeing revolations which should
be caused by the trial of M . Zula, had
determined to bring affairs in’ West
Africa to a crisis, to secure the re
newal of its property.”

SHE FELL WITH A BURNING LAMP.
OloMUi Ignited and Sha Was Literally

Horrible Affair-
Jacksonville, Feb. 21.
o’clock this morning Mrs. Catherine
esKles at 125 East Church
street, was horribly burned, the ef
fects of which resulted in her death at
7 o’clcok. Mrs. Lopez awoke at 8
o’olook this morning and got up, lit

PASSAIC TIRED Off; jAiNG.
Ths Battle Scarred Monitor Puts on a Bel
ligerent Front aid Caases Alarm.
“Parase I Parase! run Into
my ship! What do you mean?” yelled
Capt. Lazzsraga. of the Spanish steam
ship Mad roliup, early yesterday morn
ing, as he looked out from the deck and
saw the battle-scarred United States
monitor l’assaic corning at full tilt and
head-on for his steamer.
“Kstamos in gueraf” yelled the enp
tairi. “Jesus ayuda nos I" yelled the
mate. “Por Dios!” yelled the crew-.
Everybody on the Bpantsh mer
chantman was thoroughly alarmed
and thought that war must have bee*
declared during the night. The Pas
saic came steadily ahead, like a pon
derous missile of destruction, and it
really looked as though she would
crash into the steamship. To those on
the latter vensel it eeemed that the
monitor was being propelled and
steered, with belligerent intent, and
as though the steamship was the ob
ject of attack. Her big guns yawned
menacingly from her turret ports
She was gainlug speed every moment.
“A las armas, tbe
captain. nearly panic
stricken. ‘Tlay viene el gringo!
Somos paciflcos!” they yelled.
A messenger was dispatched from
the steamship to summon Consul Tor
ras. The officers of the steamship
yelled all sorts of warnings to the
monitor, pn board which not a living
being was to be seen.
Suddenly the Passaic’s men, aroused
by tbe olamor, tumbled out of the
batobway and rubbed their eyes, won
derlngly. They realized the situation
in an Inßtant. The monitor, impelled
by the high winds, was dralglng her
akhor, and prompt aotion was neces
sary. The men went to work with a
will. They soon stopped the old bat
tleship in her headlong and dangerous
course. When this was accomplished
tbe Passaio’s nose was almost under
the Spaniard’s stern.
“Bueno! Bueno!” came from the
now reassured Spanish crew. “Toda
va bien. AlCaramba! Queeacapa!”
And the red and yellow rag fluttered
on peacefully from the Madroline’s
staff.
THE CHARITY CONCERT.
A Most Enjoyable Entertainment for the.
Humane Society.
Tbe success of last night’s concert
at the Oglethorpe for the Humane So
ciety was a great compliment, not
only to the musicians who partici
pated, but to tbe executive ability of
Mrs, Hugh Porter, wbo arranged it.
Tbe participants were, besides Deal’s
orchestra, tbe Misses Blanton, Mr. T.
J. McCall, Miss Kaiser, Messrs, Charlie
and Ernest Fleming, Allen,Waff, Miss

Preston, Mrs. Crovatt, Miss Waff, Miss
Elliot. Mrs. Dyer, Miss O’Connor, Mrs.
Raymond, Miss Ruth Dexter, Mr.
Lowry, Mrs. Rowe, Miss Treston and
Miss Anderson. There was a good
house and a thoroughly appreciative
one.
BIG BARK WRECKED,
The Portuguese Bark Isabel Goes Ashore on
Egg Island Shoals and Is Lost.
Another example Of the need of a
Aightship off this coast, is found in tbe
wreck of the Portuguese bark Isabel,
ot 1,143 tons, which now lies on Egg
Island shoals.
The bark went ashore in a fog four
days ago, but intelligence of tier plight
only reached misv .. _A
Iforien tug took off hatf~w{ t v %,
but Capt, Rocha and tbe rAm- hof
the crew decided to remain oir Yrd
and try to save the vessel.
This, however, has proven a ft*Ae
taek, as the bark has broken amidships.
She will be almost a total loss. The
Isabel was bound for this port, but
orders were awaiting her here to pro
ceed to 'l’ybee.
MINISTER ATTACKS FAIRS,
Rev. W. M. Gilmors Thinks They Do Evil
As They Are Usually Oonduoted.
the First Baptist church on Sun
day night Rev. Walter M. Gilmore paid
his respects to fairs in general and
Brunswick variety iu particular.
The pastor said that the tendency of
these fairs, where dice-throwing is al
lowed and countenanced, Is to do evil,
and he did not think conscientious
Christians should engage in them.
The sermon was heard by a large con-
created much talk.
Boaoh Denies It.
The Savannah News, in a special
from Washington, quotes Mr. Jacob
L Beach as saying that tbe Atkinson
gubernatorial campaign means war to
the knife on Fleming du Bignon. The
interview created much surprise in
this city, wberq.it baa generally
understood that Mr-Beach would have
supported du Bigiiou for the goverjor
sbip, bad he made the race, Mr. Beach
reached the city Sunday from Wash
ington, and to e. reporter, denounced
the Washington “interview as a com
plete fabrication. He slated that he
had uever made use of such remarks,
and that the report was false on its
face. Mr. Beach is managing Judge
Atkinson’s campaign. Hon. Harry
F. Dunwody, who is also interested in
the campaign, returned to Atlanta
Sunday night.

lion. John J. Ingalls, the famous ex-
Senator from Kansas, will reach Bruns
wick on Thursday next, and will ad
dress a Lyceum audience that night at
the Mansfield street echbol building.
Mr. Ingalls’ subject here will be
“The Problems of Our Seoond Cen
tury.” A man of such wide reputa
tion as an orator is sure to attract one
of Brunswick’s largest audiences.
The orator will be introduced by
Col. W. E. Kay, if Mr. Kay’s business
engagements do not call him from tbe
oity on that date.
Tiokets for the Ingalls leoiure are
now on sale at fl each at Fleming &
Waff’s, A canvasser will be out
today to sell tickets to non-mem
heyjft the association.
“America’s Greatest Men and
Women” says of Mr. Ingalls: “The
student and writer in politics basin
the man who for eighteen years rep
resented Kansas in the United States
Senate proved a distinguisl ed figure.
John dailies Ingalls was born in Mid
dleton, Essex county, Mass., was grad
uated at Williams college and ad
mitted to the bar in 1857 He mi
grated to Kansas in 1858, a<d there
engaged in the practice of tin profes
sion. He was a delegate to the Wyan
dotte constitutional convention in
18511, secretary of the territur nl coun
cil in 1860 and of the state s tiate in
1801, and ft member of ihe la -r body
in 1802. During the war h was on
staff duty as judge-advocate, with the
rank of lieutenant colonel.
“For three years he edited the Atchi
son Champion,and won national repu
tation by a series of brilliant magazine
articles upon themes of western life
and adventure. He was elected to the
United .States senate for the term be
ginning March 4, 1878, and served till
March 4,1891. In 1887 be was unani
mously chosen president of the senate
pro tempore. He ranked among tbe
ablest debaters in that body, where
his keen logio, his wonderful gift of
sarcasm and bis political audaolty
made him especially dreaded by all
opponents. He was defeated by the
populist party in Kansas when a can
didate for re-election for a fourth
term, but has remained a political fac
tor of importance, delivering many ad
dresses, contributing important arti
cles to tbe reviews, and losing none of
bis prestige as one of tbe most brilli
ant orators and writers.?
