DEvorEEs OF THE DANCE.

As the society reporter would say, Terp-
sichore was queen last night at three Of the
most popular halls in the city She held
full sway, and her many devotees certainly
had full opportunity.
The most largely attended was the Ger

one time during the evening to a degree OF
discomfort 20 the dancers. The cause for
which the ball was given. and the POPULAR

confined 10 the German population, but ein-
braced many of Savannah's most popular
people OF other nationalitieS The young
folks and old folks mingled together III the

The supper table was superb in point OF
elegance and taste, and though it was put
to severe tests by the relays of hungry
dancers who beseiged 1t for two hours or
more, 1t was abundant The music was by
Gecks orchestra. 1t is estimated that the
receipts viii net the society 5000.

Watches and Diamonds Found IN Tea
and COffee-A Novel Way of Intro
ducing Goods.
The names of all persons finding dia-
monds, watches, ETC., are added to this list
daily. The Overland Tea Company, of
San Francisco, Cal, have refitted the store
No. lis Broughton street, between Bull and
Drayton streets, and in order to introduce
their goods this company put for thirty
days souvenirs in every can of tea and
coffee sold, such as solid gold, silver and
nickel watches, also genuine diamonds in
solid gold setting; also money and many
other articles of less value. Every can con
tains a souvenir. The Coffee, can and con
tents weigh about three pounds; the Tea,
can and contents about one and one-half
pounds. This expensive and novel way of
advertising will be discontinued after thirty
days. and these really choice goods will be
sold strictly ON their merits, but with
out the souvenir. OF course every
purchaser must not expect to get
diamond or watch. This company
claim that they have just as good a right to
give away watches, diamonds, or other

A GENERAL INVITATION.
Chairman Molina especially wishes it
understood that every society and club in
the city is invited to take part, and that
owing to the Secretary Of the General Com
mittee being pressed with other work, the,
must not wait for special invitation but
send in their applications for torches
without delay. The torches will not be dis
tributed to the people generally but only to
organized bodies. As the time is near at
hand it is urgent that citizens who are not
connected with any regularly organized
bodies will form themselves into clubs
without delay and through their leader ap-
ply for torches A limited number of
torches has been ordered, and as it will take
several days to put them together it is of
the utmost Importance that the applications
be sent in as soon as possible to prevent any
disappointmentS.

materially add to the brightness of the

will be feature of the festival A number
of citizens are preparing for a most extern
sive and tasty decoration and illumination
of their residences and places of business,
and Savannah Will be in her brightest dress.

SAVANNAH'S CHANCE.
How it Can be Made Inviting to Thou
SANDS of Visitors.

SanOS OF Visitors.
The outlook for Savannah for the ensu-
ing summer season is most satisfactory,
and with proper efforts on the part of its
citizens by encouraging the business men
and farmers trading with them to visit the
city at period when their friends have
ample time to entertain them, it can be
made more so.
There are thousands of people who do
business with Savannah who are glad at
any time Of an opportunity to visit the
city; all that is necessary to bring them is
20 offer some inducement in the
way of pleasure or recreation. The
completion of the railroad to TYbee Island
affords such an occasion, and if the people
viii take advantage of it thousands of viSi-
tors can be induced to visit Savannah. 1t
is not necessary that visitors should spend
their entire time on the island, but a trip TO
that pleasant sea side resort can easily be
included in their pleasures. The merchants,
hotel proprietors and other business men
ought TO take hold of the matter and CO.
operate with the Tybee people in getting up
excursions from places along the lines of
the railroads centeling here, and also assist
in providing music and other means of Ell
tertaining their friends at the island
The season at Tybee will open early this
year and, if proper measures are inaugu-
rated that resort can be made to contribute
largely TO the prosperity of the city. Sa-
vannah itself, with its many public and pri-
vate improvements, will be pleasant TO visit.
and a trip to Tybee and other suburban re-
sorts will be an additional pleasure.

TINY CHARLToN8 SLAYER.
The Jury Says Guilty and Recon-

mends Life imprisonment.
The whole of yesterday was consumed by
tho Superior Court in the trial of Jim Cook
for the part he took in the killing of Tiny
Charlton. Messrs. T. S. Morgan and Davis
Freeman represented the defense and
Solicitor General duBignon the prosecution.
Seven witnesses were examined for the
defense and four for the prosecution The
facts brought out were about the same as
has been stated in the newspaper accounts
of the killing. The line of defense was that
Jim Cook had left before the fight occurred
and took no part in it; that he did not use
the expr ssions attributed to him by Emma
Charlton; that by reason of certain contra
dictory evidence before the Coroner
the States witnesses had shown themselves
unworthy of belief; that Emma Charlton
was not there at the time of the cutting;
that she did not take Tiny Charlton home.
and he was not stabbed while i'll her arms
because there was no blood on her dress
The jury was out about five minutes
when it returned a verdict of guilty, with
recommendation to imprisonment for life.
