Pleasing sights on the Closing Night
of stILuke's Hospita, Bazaar.
The grand bazaar given under the aus
pices of the ladies of St. Luke's hospital
guild. closed last night, the feature of the
evening being an enchanting realistic
scene from fairyland-a May pole dance
participated in by sweet little queens and
gallant little knights. A May pole had
been erected in the centre of the hall and
the top of it hung red, white and blue
ribbons. At O'Clock Bleuer's orchestra
stationed in the balcony, struck up polka
measure and there entered ten little
couple in the following order: Bes-
sic Gilmore and Walter Rosen-

field, Maud Bear and Charlie Halves,
Oracle Knowlton and Eddie Frysinger,
Irene Rosenfield and Fred Jones. Clair
Gilmore and Fred Loeb, Mile Schmidt
and Harry Gilmore, Clara Koehler and
Louis Rosenheld, May Ferguson and Fay
Harper, Josie Halves and Oscar Schmidt
The little couples were attired in pretty
costumes and as they gracefully went
through the grand right and left of the
May pole dance. weaving the gay coIored
ribbons about the poll, picture was pre-
scented that did the eye and heart good.
The exercises included an unique heel
and toe polka which was also performed
with pleasing grace and precision and the
whole affair reflects great credit Upon
Mrs. Call through whose painstaking care
it was presented.
The bazaar presented in itself the same
pretty things that were noted on the pre-
vious night, and the attendance was much
larger. and the various booths conse'
quently much more literally patronlzed
The ladies estimate the receipts of TIT
evening at S400. and the total receipts Of
the two evenings net less than $500; g
very gratifying showing indeed,
Before the close of the bazaar VARIETY
of dances were endulged in by the younl
folks. and after everybody else had gon
home there was a white cap" dane
about the May pole which was graceful
and captivating.

Supt. Schnitger, when questioned this
morning by an ARGUS reporter, said that
he had no intention of showing any par.
TALLY in the hiring of bis men. That
one laboring man was as good as an other

skilled track layers which had been in his
employ for ten years, he had picked hi'
men from miscellaneous crowd as they
presented themselves for work at the Mo-
line & Rock Island barns at O'Clock
yesterday morning, and that he made nc
inquiry as to the residences of the men h,
engaged.
The ARGUS has no reason to charg
Mr. Schnitger with willful unfairness, bu
the bulk of his men are certainly from

have right to insist that local labor hs'

Ira cling a Horse Thief from Rock ISL
and 10 Kansas, Bringing Him Back
and Recovering the Property.
Sheriff Silvis left for western Kansas
the first of the week; very few knew the
object or intention of his trip. the only
information he left being that be was of
on an important business trip. Not a
word was heard from him after he left
until this morning, when he returned,
bringing with him horse thief named
Isaac E. Richards. whom the sheriff had
been trscking,about since Sept. 10. last.
Richards had formerly lived in Andalusis,
but few years ago went to Kansas and
took up claim. This fall he returned
to Andalusia and after paying short
visit, disappeared. and with him fine
horse belonging to John 0. Vanlaning-
ham. Sheriff Silvis was notified of the
stealing and at once set himself about to
capture the thief and recover the stolen
horse. He traced the man to Kansas,
found him in a hut sixteen miles north
east of Oberlin in Decatur county in the
western part of the state, and captured
him. The man confessed the deed when
he fell into the sheriff's hands, saying
that he had sold the horse to James First
Of Moline for $45. Slvis brought Rich
ards back with him, took him to Moline
this morning and recovered the horse, an
animal worth twice what 1t was sold for,
and now has the prisoner in the county
Jail awaiting the January grand jury. He
is good for ten years in the "pen," and
Silvis is deserving of great praise for his
prompt capture.

Robberies Committed in Which the
Plunderers Escape Detection.
The frequency of the petty robberies and
burglaries in Savannah is such that there is
a very general desire manifested among the
people that the city should have a detective
force. There is diminished security against
thieves. A gentleman who has noted some
of the recent thievings where no arrests
have followed, mentioned the following:
Between April % and % the house of Mr.
w S. Cherry, No. IS Lincoln street, was
entered and the room occupied by Capt "
B Avery robbed of clothing and other
articles valued at $780,
About the same time the house of Mr..
Richard Kirkland, No 220 Congress street,
was entered, and one Of the rooms robbed
of trunk containing clothing and other
articles of value aggregating Sl20
During last month the boarding house of
Mrs Jones, corner of West Broad and Con-
gress streets, was entered two or three
times, and several of the rooms occupied
by the boarders robbed of clothing, a gold
watch, and other articles of value.
On the night of May 4, the residence of
Capt John H. Craig, the pilot, at No. rs
Liberty street, was entered, and "A gold
headed silk umbrella, suit of clothes, and
a gold watch and chain were stolen.
