AN ENJOYABLE CONCERT.
Catholic Library Hall Filled With a
Fine Audience.

Catholic Library Hall was comfortably
SLED last night with an appreciative aud
fence to hear the concert given under the
auspices OF the Savannah Male Quar-
tette.
The overture from MARTHA" and
Emilia Waltzes," written by Mr. F. J.
Ruckert, were admirably given by Geck's
Orchestra. The overture was followed
by the Male Quartette in Seifert's More
and More" The third number, lies
kameaux," bass solo, was splendidly
sung by MIR. G. W. King. He was re-
called and repeated the closing stanza.
LaHache's ''Yeni Creator" arranged
for three voices, was beautifully sung by
Mrs. Ida F. W ade, Messrs. II. W. Rea-
dick and G. S. FriersOn, the orchestra ac-
cOmpanying.
Mr.. p. H. Ward next sang to orchestral
compartment, 'Frhe W hite SQuall," and
merited the imperative recall which he
received, and responded to. Mr. Wards
fine voice was heard to great advantage.
Next came the "Kyrie Eleison," from
Warth's new mass, which was very eff
fectively rendered. with orchestral &C
compartment by Mrs. Berrien, Mrs. Gus
tin, who kindly consented at one DAVIS
notice to sing in this number and the Clio
ria, and Messrs. II. w. and \. NJ. Read
lex. The ''GlOria,' from the same work,
was given few numbers later by Mrs.
Berrien, Mrs. Wade, Mrs. Gustin, and
Messrs. II. W. aud f. N. Readick, King
and McDOnough. Mrs. Wade consented
last night to sing in this number, and had
but little opportunity for proper practice.
Under such disadvantages these new
productions were given for the first time
and to critical audience, a severe test.
which resulted in a verdict altogether
favorable to the composer and bis work
The "Gloria'' is marked by much of
grandeur and force and elevated tone,
whilst the "Kyrie," from first to last, is
rich with appropriate pleading tones of
prayer.
The "Army and Navy" of MiIlard was
acceptably sung by Messrs. McDonough
and Frank Readick.
Prof. Icons violin solo was a gem of
artistic execution, and was well received.
The Burial at Sea-" sung by the
Readick brothers, was also we'll given and
rewarded with unstInted applause.
Mrs. W ade having been requested to
sing solo, selected Millard's "Say Not
Farewell" which she gave in a charm
ingly effective style, being enthusiast
cally recalled to sing "My Bonnie Bright
! Flower"
The quartette closed the evening by
singing Kinkefs ''The Farewell"

THE TELFAIR HOSPITAL.
The Institution Nearly Ready to be
Opsned-Its Purposes.

The Institution Nearly Ready to be
Opsned-Its Purposes.
1t is expected that the additions and
improvements, which have been in pro-
gres3 at the Telfair Hospital dur
ing the summer and fall, will
soon be completed and the build
ing be opened for the reception of
patients by Dee. 10. There has been some
misrepresentation In the minds OF many
with regard to the class Of persons to be
benefited by this charity. 1t is simply a
hospital, as 1t was named by Miss Telfair
in making the bequest, for the treatment
OF INDECENT women who are sick and I'M
able to command in their own homes
proper care and nursing with entire relief
from family duties.
10 is not Intended as a home, and the
building is not SO constructed as to make
wards holding from six to eight
beds each, with only such smaller
rooms as are necessary for the matron,
nurses and other employees. Miss Telfa r
bequeathed a valuable property on Presi-
dent and West Broad streets to the
Widows Society, which is used as a
home, and has been fully occupied for
many months. Applicants for admission
20 the Telfair Hospital will only be re-
ceived upon the certificate of the attend
ing physicians, and will be retained only
during Illness.
The management expects that many
will go from the humber homes in the
city 20 find refuge in the institution and
TO bless the founders who designed and
devised it for their relief.

Business Disposed of by Judge sPser
Yesterday.

The trial OF John Z. Barginier in the
United States Court was resumed yester-
day morning. Witnesses were examined
for the defendant to show that he did not
interfere with the deputy marshals in the
discharge OF their duty. The jury re-
manned out over an hour and returned a
verdict OF not guilty.
d. 5. Harley, of Augusta, plead guilty
to the charge Of carrying on the business
OF retail liquor dealer and dealer in
manufactured tobacco, without the reve-
nue. stamps. He did not have license
between the months of May and October.
His excuse was that be omitted getting
the stamps in May, aud in June he was
stabbed so badly that he could not attend
to his business. In October he was re-
quired to buy the necessary stamps, and
was also assessed the so per cent. penalty.
Judge Speer suspended sentence.
The suit of the Charleston Fruit Com
pany vs.. T, z. Bond will be taken up this
morning.
The case OF Louis LETTER, charged with
opening letter and cashing money or
der contained therein, was continued for
the term. This was done at the request
Of the defendants counsel, Hon. I. NJ.

MORE ROOM Ar SCHOOL.
The Lease or the Barracks Building Re
lisving the Crowded Glasses.

The Lease or the Barracks Building Re
lisving the Crowded Glasses.
A good deal has been said OF late in the
Board Of Education in regard TO the over
crowded condition OF the public school
buildings, and the insufficient seating ca
pacity. At the last meeting Of the Board
the President was authorized to engage a
suitable building for school purposes. and
70 employ a sufficient number Of teachers
70 extend the school facilities to those
now asking and not aDle to obtain
them. This action was based
upon the Supenntendents report for
October, which showed that there were
3z0 more pupils In the schools during that
month than there were last year and that
many classes were OvercrOwded, and
about 100 applicants for admission to the
schools could not be accommodated.
As stated IN THE NEws yesterday meas
ures have been taken 70 relieve the over
crowded classes as much as possible. The
Two rooms which have been rented and
ntted up IN the OglethOrpe barracks
building are already occupied
by over 100 pupils, all from the primary
grades. The lower classes In all of
the schools have been relieved
OF an eighth grade properly IN the
Massie school, but which Is located in the
barracks, and the classes Of which are
filled up from the various districts. The
barracks school Is In charge OF Mrs
Spring and Miss Grady, both experienced
and capable teachers. Miss Hattie May
has been permanently engaged and as
signed TO the Barnard street school, in-
creasiug the number Of teacners In that
district. This school Is yet crowded n the
lower grades, and still greater facilities
are needed.
The trustees Of the Chatham Academy
nave taken steps looking 10 further in
crease OF school room, either by new
building adjoining the Academy or else
where. The securing Of portion or the
barracks building relieves, in O measure,
tne difficulty with which the Superinten-
dent has been met. Aside from their
oVercrowded condition the schools are In
prosperous condition. II there is one
thing IN Savannah which Is never
falling source OF interest and pleasure 10
the people d. Is the puDllc schools.
Inc primary schools constitute the
most Important branch OF the public
school system, aud demand an equipment
Win ali that is necessary Tor their efficient
managemeut and growth. IL Is the
lowest classes and the primary grades
mat are most crowded, and 30 IS 20 re-
lieye these as well as the upper grades
toat the board has leased portion OF the
barracks.
