GENTLEMEN AND BLACKGUARDs.


This is rather a timely question,
though it comes from the centre OF the
State, and not from the Union Cub:
A and b are friends and are engaged
in a business conversation, when, after
some angry words, A calls b liar. B
knows that he is not liar. Now,
what is it proper for b to do, stand up
and fight A, or let it pass unnotced?
Are YOU considered coward if you
don't fight? lSQUIREE,
Amsterdam n. Y, March 26.
Ofcourse, a mans natural impulse is
to resent such an affront with blow;
but if he yields to it he does not prove
himself courageous, aud if he conquers
it he does not show himself a coward.
A very craven will oitentimes make
fight in his sudden anger, while man
OF courage AMI determination viii not
allow himself to be upset by an angry
impulse, like hot.headsd boy.
In fighting with a man who has be-
haved toward you like a blackguard
YOU treat him with too much respect.
He is too contemplate to receive that
much attention from you. Ii he strikes
YOU Of course you defend yourself, but
II he wantonly aud outrsgeously insults
you in words only, you lower yoar dig
nifty by responding to him with physi-
cal blows Yol pat yourself too much
90 his level.
Besides, a gentle san gains nothing
by engaging in a rough-and-tumble
fght. When the scrinmage is over
nothing is settled, 81 far as the charge
which provoked the dght is concerned.
A disgracsful row has occurred, and
that is ALL
II a man calls another, without rea-
son, liar, and abuses the privileges of
intimacy TO insult his companion, he
simply proves himself an unfit associate
for decent people. He may ask to be
excused on the ground that he spoke in
haste and heat, but men who are so
lacking in self-control are not tolerable
in refined society. They ought to be
left to seek companionship among black
guards who handy insulting epithets
and now and then fall to blows in con-
sequence. You only dignity them by
exchanging words or blows with them.
They deserve nothing except con
tempt, and are unworthy of notice.
Gentlemen do not need to defend
their veracity by resorting to the meth
DDS of savages. Generally, too, theil
tastes and prejudices keep them apart
from the company of men who are giver
to calling each other by opprobrious ep
ithets. If any chance to meet such a
man, and he displays himself for what
he is, they no more stop to enter into q
quarrel he invites than they turn to re
sent the vile language OF a street drab.
But men who choose blackguards ioi
companions must stand the consequen
ccs, even if they have to give and TAX,
bloody noses,

An enjoyable Christmas tree festival

cred around it with dancing eyes:
William Harden. superintendent Of
the school. introduced Santa Claus
dressed up in a white suit. lie had
a long white beard and ircd rosy cheeks.
The children did not know it at the time,
but the Santa Claus was john n. Harden.
T1o presents were then distributed They
were all very handsome, and brought
forth many pleased eXclamati0ns OF sur
prise. This done. Rev. Thomas i. john
sOtn, Of Canada. made pleasant address,
alluding TO the Joys of Christmas and the
lessons il taught. Fl. F. Train. formerly

THE DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS.

a Quiet Day After the Great Festival
The Holiday Trade is Broken Into
The most noticeable thing about the
s,feats yesterday was their quiet appear
ance. The greet crowds of shoppers which
thrOuged the sidewalks and stores on
Christmas day and carried home
myfiad bundles and packages
filed with Christmas gifts had
finished their work for the year. The
long hours of steady bUying evidently
made severe inrOads upon the
pockets of purchasers, and 1t will
be some time before the every day trade
will settle back to its steady come-and-go
regularity. Tae stores and Toy shops
looked empty, and the holiday dress of
the windows in the leading business
establishments lacked the freshness and
crispness il had in the early part of the
week. The crowds Of prOmenaders were
absent from the streets in the afternoon,
and all over the city there was an air of
quiet following the hustle of the busy
days since the holiday trade began.
IOf course there will be a lull for few
days." said a leading BrOughton street
merchant to a NEWS reporter. "There
always is after Christmas and every other
big day, for that matter, when there is a
rush of trade, but business Will revive
ag8in in a few days when the people get
over their holiday purchases and are
ready TO buy again. l look for good
trade all through the winter"
This was the general feeling among the
retail merchants. In the smaller trades
except, of course, the dealers in holiday
goods exclusively, there is the same feel
ing as among the larger ones.
4 regular holiday quietness prevailed
around the Board of Trade and the Cot
ton Exchange. At the latter place there
was an absence of news which caused
buyers to hold of. The exchange in New
York was closed, and also the Liverpool
Exchange, the latter 10 remain closed
until Monday. The Chicago Produce and
Provision Exchanges will take long
holiday and will not reopen until Jan. ..
This will tend to make business very dull.
Bay street presented a Sunday appearance
and very little was going on anywhere.

MISS CLARA MORRIS.
Her Appearance In "L'Article Al" BE
fore a Brilliant Audience.

Her Appearance In "L'Article Al" Be-
fore a Brilliant Audience.
Miss Clara Morris played before bril-
liant audience at the Theatre last night,
and was enthusiastically received. 1t
was her first appearance in Savannah,
and her acting revealed her wonderIul
mower. The curtain was half an hour late
in rising. and the audience became I'M
patient, but its impatience ceased Wne1
Miss Morris appeared on the stage, ana
throuphout the play in her weird and
horribly fascinating portraiture OF the
woman haunted by evil she was followed
in every move.
The plav is an unpleasant one. Cora,
the leading character, is a girl of mingled
creole and quadrOon blood, the 0etrotned
wife of George Duhamel, an atfectl0nate,
passionate and suspicious lover. Carried
away by his jealousy of Cora, and thrown
of by her, he shoots her, producing
facial wound, which disfgures her for
life. Duhamel is tried, convicted and
sentenced to five years penal serVltude.
UDOn the expiration of his Imprisonment
ne returns to Paris, where the most Of
the scene Is laid, and changes his name,
thereby evading the provisions OF Article
T. of the French penal code. fr0m Wnicn
the plav takes its name, 81 Article A, :"
which f0rDlQS the IeSluenCt VI tA-COufiCbS
without the reimbursement of their selec-
tiOu, He uncOnsciously wins tue love
and eventually marries Marcelle
DeLille, Cora has in the mean
time established N Paris a private
gambling establishment, into which Du-
hamel enters accidentally, recognizes and
is recognized by Cora, who threatens eX-
posure unless he gives her portion OF his
time. He determines to throw on the
bondage and is discovered in scene with
Cora bv his wife. to whom he contesses
everything. and who in turn declares her
faith in him. Cora, whose mind has been
weakened under the constant strain to
which il has been subjected, loses SELL
control at this defeat Of her revenge and
becomes insane, writes letter TO the
Prefect of Police denOuncing Duhamel,
hut tears up in her insane rage the letter
instead of a pardon for Duhamel, which
she has procured, and dies upon discover
ing what she has accomplished.
throughout, it is a play exhibiting the
deepest depth of passion and emotion. AS
the SCARED and scarlet woman W@0se
only purposes are evil, and her only JOY
the hope Of revenge, Miss Morris made
the character of Cora one OF the most
horribly real conceptions ever witnessed
upon tue Savannah stage. She was re-
Deatedly applauded and called before the
curtain at the end of every act.
Tonight she will appear In her great
plav, "Miss Mutton" The receipts of the
house last night were 1921. Tonight the
prices have been reduced to 81 90 for gen.
eral admission down stairs, with no charge
for reserved seats, and 70 and % cents for
the galleries. This afternoon Miss Nor
rs' company, with her leading support,
Mr.. Frederick BrytOn, will give NATL
nee performance of BARLEY CampbelPs
great play, "The Galley Slave" Tue
sale of reserved seats will begin this
morning at Davis Bros.

cHAsTMAs CASUALTIES.
and Pistols in Careless

IFireworE and Pistols in Careless
Hands do Much Damage.
Among the casualties which occurred
on Christmas day owing to the careless
handling OF pistols was the wounding OF
a colored boy about 16 years old,
who. in company with other boys
about his own age, was celebrating
on West Boundary street. One chamber OF
a 53 csIibre revolver which he was hand
ling was accidentally discharged. The
ball passed through his left hand ana
shattered all the bones lmmedIately OelOW
the wrist. causing a frighttul appearing
and exceedingly painful wound. III then
went through the tail OF coat worn Dy
one Of his companions. The boy whose
coat was injured raised yell and it was
at first thought he was seriously
wounded. but he was only frightened.
The injured lad called upon DR.. L. Z.
Harden. who gave the necessary surglc al
attention.
4 negro named William Thomas, living
in FTOytOwn, accidentally shot himself IN
the left Lee with a 32-calibre pistol. He
was attended by DIR. Sheftall, who eX-
tracted the ball from the fleshy portion of
the thigh. The wound is not considered
: serious one. On the same day DIR.
SheftaH also attended a negro named
smith Jones, who had been cut IN
the breast and arm by John Nolan during
an alteration which took place between
the two men at a point about four mlles
from the city on the Middle Ground road.
The cuts were each about three inches
long. but not of sufficient depth to be Sc
riOHs.
A negro, named Joseph Morel, about
II wears old, living 6l West Boundary
street. on Christmas nignt BE-
gan celebrating by firing homan
candles. He was successful in mis-
pyrotechnIc display until he accidentally
pointed one Of the lighted candles to-
wards his own face. One of the balls
struck him in the left eye. and put an end
to his celebration. DR.. ShetJall was sum-
m0ned and gave the necessary attention.
but will not be able TO restore the boy
eve, which was completely destroyed.
