IN THE GALLERY,


The lookers-on in the gallery enjoyed
fhe ball fully as much AS did the dancers
themselves. There was not a brilliant
display Of dresses. In general the cos
fumes were exceedingly pretty, though.
White predomin ated OF course.
in the intermissions which were
given up to promenading there was
a constant succession of pretty costumes
passingiup and down the hall.
The bali was fairly under way when the
announcement that supper would be
served "a la restaurant IN the supper
room was made. In the meantime The
floor committee was kept busy arrang-
ing the dances. Among those VINO
danced in the opening ianciers were
Mai. Schwarz, Capt. }. +. Wheaton and
Col. Clifford w. Anderson. The portly
Major, "a chairman of the committee, was
everywhere present. He danced often,
and was one OF the gayest OF the throng.

The regimental ball at The Guards ar
mory last night was not as great sue
cess in point of attendance as was ex-
peeted Somewhere about 300 tickets
were sold. but there was not nearly that
number OF people at the ball. Whatever
lack there was in numbers was made up
though IN enJoyme for it certainly was
one of the most enjoyable balls ever given
In Savannah.
As early as S:45 O'Clock ;he loOkers-ou
began to arrive, aLd the front rows OF the
gallery overlooking the dancing floor were
quickly alIed. The dancers were slow il
coming and 1t was half al hour after the
time for the opening Of the ball before the
first carriages arrived.
ARRIVING AT THE ARMoRY.
By 10 O'clock nearly all had come,
though few struggled in now
and then until IL O'Clock,
and some even went later. 1t WAS ar
ranged that Mai. Schwarz and lady should
lead the grand march, but owing to the
small number present when the bail
opened the committee decided TO dis
l'ense with the march, and the Guards
Band, which played 10 front OF the
armory during the carly part OF the
evening, gave short promenade concert.
Geck'S full orchestra was stationed on
tae floor and gave excellent music.
IN MILITARY DRESS.
Nearly all OF the gentle
men present were IN tull mill
tsary dress, and the few who were not
wore Iull evening dress. The reception
committee was stationed in toe hail at
the top of the stairway, and escorted the
dancers into the hall. The committee
consisted of Maj. John Schwarz. Lieut..

EYCESS OF WOMEN.
h Anxious and Aimiess Population Of
Great Britain

Are you aware. my dear, Of the ap.
palling fact that there are 94s, 900 more
ome than men in Great Britain? At
least, there vas this very awful disparity
Of numbers at the last census, and |
don't suppose that the disproporlion has
decreased since then. In fact, it seems
that it is likely to became greater and
greater, for more girls are born than
boys, and men do not, as a rule, live 50
long as women.
This immense fact means. perhaps,
very little 10 married women, unless
they are mothers Of q large and exprn-
sivc family Of daughters; but to the un-
appropriated among US, it is fraught
with the direSt meaning. We are I'll
taught from our nursery days upward to
look forward TO the time when we shall
be married and tive happy ever after"
DO not all the nursery sto-
ries and fairy tales end with
wedding bells? And | suppose that
it is natural for q woman to like to lave
a home of her own, and q husband and
children. There are one who would
despise US for making such q con-
f~esSion; but do You not think with me
that an unshared life seems incomplete?

The First Woman to Cross the Great
American Desert.
"Aunt" Clara Brown, formerly q
slave, who is credited with being the
first woman to cross the plains INTO
Colorado, died here at her home on
Arapahoc street. She was the only
female member Of the Colorado Pion-
GERS Association, and was the pet Of
that body, numbering over four hum
dred people. Aunt Clara Brown was
upwards of eighty-three years of age.
She remembered the outbreak of the
war in 1872 well, and was u haIf-grown
girl at that time. In her youth she
was owned by Il planter in Logan
County, KY, who sold her to some one
who ~emigrated TO Kansas, where she
managed to obtain her freedom, and
started with a wagOn-train to Colorado.
She had nj money with which to pay
her passage, and so acted as cook in
order to pay for her transportation,
Inc Wagon-traln arrived al Denver in
1859, having encountered some eight
hundred Indians on the way. Aunt
Clara was never afraid Of the Indians,
as sh" had Indian blood in her veins,
her grandparents having been say
ages. She was a born philanthropist,
and when President Lincoln set the nc-
groes fire. she took her savings and
journcyed to Kentuck} for her people.
Later she returned with twenty-six

GOLD MI
South Africa the Great Diamond Market
of the World.

south Africa the Great Market
of the World.
Gold mining in West Africa has not
succeeded. The gold is there, but lack
of capital and transportation and bad
management have contributed to the
i'll fortune which has attended these
enterprises, and even the best have
had to contend with the difficulties Of
climate and labor. There seems no
end to the new discoveries of gold in
South Africa. Information from the
Transvaal is to the effect that a paying
reef, yielding M and one-half ounces
to the ton, has been found in Matabe-
land, and that a concession to work it
has been granted by Lobengolo, chief
of the Matabele natives, to a company
which has started working with small
plants of steam crushing machinery,
through the use of which twelve bars
of solid gold weighing one pound
apiece have been secured from the first
trial crushing. Rejoicings have taken
place at Pretoria and Appolonia owing
to a display of gold di. cred close to
those places. %Persevering men with
good health, and who have capital,
crushing machinery and a supply of
provisions for six months, stand a fair
chance of becoming wealthy in time.
South Africa enjoys a virtual monop.
oily of the diamond market of the
world. A diamond has recently been
found there weighing four hundred
and seventy-five carats, and said to be
greatly superior in color and brilliancy
to all other famous diamonds known.
1t has passed into the hands of j. Metz
e. Co., Amsterdam. Another large
diamond from the De Beer mine was
purchased on the spot by an agent Of
Messrs. H. Muir & Sons of Philadcl-
phia, Pa. 1t weighs one hundred and
twenty-eight carrots in its rough state,
and is of perfect octahedron shape. Ii
is about an inch through in its longest
and deepest parts, and in its present
state is valued at about $4,000, but
when cut the price will be very much
more. 1t is considered ont of the most
famous gems in the world, and is called
''The President" A letter from KIM
berly represents that no less than
81, 200, 900 is annually paid in thattown
alone in wages for diamond digging
And from this oasis in the agricultural
desert has been sent in the last fifteen
years something like $500, 10000
worth of diamonds in the rough
which. with the cost of cutting, setting
and selling, must have taken from the
pockets of consumers o sum not fal ,
short of $500, 900, 900. -Daltimore Sun. ,

ELEGANT MOONSTONES.
How They Are Set in Clusters of Other

These stones are from China. and are
the finest that have cvcr been seen

of shapes, and are surrounding them IN
Scarfpins, brooches and bracelet, with
diamonds, pearls, emcraldS, rubirS and

blush light are the more valuable.

tremely unique. The "moonStonc", or,
scientifically called "adularia', was m
entaglio of q jolly baby's face, Above
the face was the frill of a lace cap, dia.
monds taking the place of lace. Gold
strings came around the face and were
lied in a bow under the chin. The cut
ting of this stone was perfect. and the
light that struck it as it was turned
from side to side made the face sparkle
and laugh. Behind some of the stones
some pink preparation had been put in
the setting, giving the whole a very
quaint appearance, "You see, many
of these stones are SET uncut, simply
polished, and look like sparkling
