sAVANNAR's CHARITIES.
How the Money Aecelved from tn

How the Money Aecelved from the
Charity Bah is D ssributed.
Editor Norning Ns,Os: note in your
issue Of Dec. II an article signed Citizen"
inquiring how the funds were distributed
which were raised by the late charity ball,
and suggesting that there should be some
effort made to sock out the very poor and
needy, and give them the benefit OF the
money 50 raised.
"CIt.Zel ,, is apparently not aware of the
existence in Savannah Of several orgauiza-
tons which carry out exactly the plan he
suggests.
1hs ''charity ball" was given by the
ladies who comDOse the board Of what is
now known as the Louise Porter Home"
and which was originally Incorporated I'M
der the title Of the "Home for the Friend

The increase of income to this society. by
reason OF the late Mrs. Louisa Porter's geDer-
GUS legacy, is Of immense help in enabling
tuem 10 extend their work and clear them
selves from debt. | was myself one
of the original organizers of The Indus
trial Home,' and | can confidently assert
that there has never been a society more
widespread IN its charities. Il has a chill
dren'S sewing school. which meets weekly :;
it has connected with it an admirable
many homeless. lonely women; il feeds
thousands at its doors; it distributes wood
u numberleSS poor families, and gives
away shoes and clothing in large quantities
to the needy. To d. all this a large outlay
is required, and in order to raise the
amount needed the ladies OF the Porter
Home" give this annual "charity ball." so
that is where its proceeds went. There Is
another admirable association in Savannah
Of which Citizen p ssibly knows uothing
l6 was organized many years ago, by the
ladies' OF Christ church, and is supported
by contributors from that congregation.
IL is called the "BishOD i hot Society. -
The entire city is divided into six wards
and a hospital ward" Two ladies' visit
In each ward, and the result is that indiyid-
ual cases of need and sickness are thor
onghly and personally investigated. All
denominations are aided; the very ill are
provided with nurses, medicines and
a physician. Wood and blankets are
disirlbu,ed; thousands of garments
are given away, and thousands
Of visits are paid yearly. Work is cut out
and provided tor all who need il; the dead
are buried decently, and the wants Of the
tended to. A Christmas feast is given to
the poor every year, and baskets full of
good things are sent 60 those who are IN
able to come for their share
There are few cities Of the size of Savan-
nah where the poor are so thoroughly looked
after as they are here. Besides the above
associations, each church has its own chart
table organization, and the Society of the
Kings Daughters, comprising a large mem
bership from every denomination, do an
immense amount of charitable work.
Any citizen who desires to have his chart
ties applied where they are most needed
without taking the trouble to investigate
personally the needs of the suffering can do
50 by giving his aid through any one of
the three societies.

perience rough treatment, we generally
attribute it TO the open OF secret agency
o. the saloon, often suppleme ted By
I1e resources OF others who get gsin
from the sins and vices of the people.
Inc direction in which the power Of the
army Is chiefly felt is, undoubtedly, in the
reclamation Of those who a-e often thought
to be past hope. Many OF these regard the
question of their own improvement. with the
same despair that is felt by many who have
tried 20 benefit them. The army comes along
wlth Its joyful, lively songs, and testimonies
OF rope and deliverance. In the first place,
the people are attracted. in ths next they
are inspired with hope; then thev are pre-
vailed upon to repent and abandon their
evil courses Then when they have proved
the power OF God unto salvation for them
selves they are urged to become witnesses
Tor God, aid to nut forth every possible
effort for the deliverance of others from
such misery as they themselves have Just
bean raised from.
Of scarcely less Importance is the inhu-
ence of the army ON the de 3ominations Of
the christian church. By precept and ex-
anple-especially the latter-are all who
profess to be the children of God melted to
leave their comfort and ease, and devote
their energies to the conversion OF sinners.
Ii remains to 6e seen to what extent Gen.
Booths great social1 scheme, set forth
IN his book, In Darkest England and the
Way Out" can be and will be applied to
this country, but the army can safely
count upon the sympathy and support of
all rlght-thinking citizens, irrespective Of
creed In all efforts put forth for the men-
tai, physical or spiritual alleviations of the
miserles or suffering humanity.

A Chicago Riucbaard

A story with all the interest and suspense o!
the experience of Bluebeard's last wife was
told yesterday in Chicago by Mrs. Margaret ].
Whelan in bill for divorce from her husband,
James Whelan. She says that, after an extra
ordinary course OF abuse on his part, she left
him, but returned to him on his promise of
better behavior. Accompanying him home
she entered their house aud followed him to a
room. Too late she noticed that the knobs OF
the doors had been removed and their places
taken by heavy staples, which were fastened
with telegraph wire and padlocks. The err.tied
woman asked her husband what he meant to
do and he turned on her and seizing her by the
hair, dragged her to the floor. Your minutes
are numbered" he exclaimed. pray now.
for You have but five minutes to live''
She kne!t Oh the floor with her hands clasped
IN prayer and he opened a huge knife and
flourished it about her head The time was
getting short and Whelan turned to a shelf u
change the clock to a more convenient place
to watch the minutes they passed As he
turned his back Mrs. Whelan sprang to her
feet and leaped through the window to the
street. She was seriously injured by her fall,
but was cared for by neighbors. Judge Jennie
son issued an order enjoining Whelan from in
any way annoying his wife.

AN UPRISING IN THE TRANSVAAL.
The Flag of the Republic Torn Down
and "Rule Britannia Sung.

Dispatches from the South African republic
say that serious demonstration has been
made there against the existing government.
Itappears that Mr.. Kruger, the president of the
Transvaal. attempted to make public speech,
but the crowd refused to listen to him and he
was compelled to retire.
mass meeting was then organized and
resolutions were adopted denouncing the
Transvaal government After the meeting the
crowd proceeded to the government buildings
and tore down the flag of the republic. Sub
sequently a mob went to a house at Landrost.
where Mr.. Kruger was receiving a deputation,
and sang 'Rule Britannia"
The ratings around the house were DESTROYED
by the crowd and the Transvaal flag, which
foated from pole in front of the house. was
hauled down and trampied under foot by the
excited people.
The Transvaal formed an independent repub-
lie III 1870 when many Europeans were fockinc
there in search of gold and diamonds. In 1871
it was annexed to the Cape Colony. under
British rule. In 1880 the Beers, Il people of
Dutch descent and language, took up arms and
the following year the British government con-
coded complete autonomy TO the settlers. The
name was subsequently changed to the South
African Republic. 1t has population OF
about CO,OOO white and 775, coo native Africans.

An Absenf-Minded Auctioneer.

From the London Telegraph
An absent-minded auctoneer is a rare kind
OF phenomenon, even in France, and the
worthy knights of the hammer are undoubtedly
alert and business-like persons as d class. An
exception. however. must be made in the case
OF commissaire-priseur. we'll known in the
sales rooms of the Hotel Drouot, Paris. who
had TO auction" off n miscellaneous collection
OF clothing on Saturday. He placed his own
overcoat and hat by the side of the effects
which were TO be sold, and after he had salts
iactorily completed his work he noticed that
his two articles OF personal wear had disap-
pearcd. He suspected thieves and accordingly
communicated with the commissionaire on
duty, who found the hat and overcoat in the
possession OF aworthy dealer, to whom they had
been offered for a few francs by their owner.
, Ino, IN MS NJ 0, abstraction, had amalgamated
which had been put up to auction. The dealer.
OF course, made no objection to return the eff
fects for the cash which he had paid for them
but the adventure of the absent-minded
nuchoneer served to throw a note of gayety
INTO the usual somber and severe atmosphere
OF the sales rooms.

ChicagO'S Grief for Young LincoIn.

The cabled announcement of the death OF
young Lincoln was received in Chicago with
deep regret. His father, Robert T. Lincoln,
the only surviving son of the martyr President
has made his home there for many years: and,
besides gathering about him large circle OF
warm friends. has challenged the admiration
of his fellow citizens who were not personally
acquainted with him By his ability and success
in public position. Mr.. Lincoln was very ayerse
to accepting the position which he now
occupies To friends from Chicago whom he
saw In London. even at a time when it was
supposed that his son would recover. Mr.. Lin
coin expressed a very earnest sorrow that he
had permitted himself to be Influenced tc
accept the position. The President has sent a
message of coincidence to Minister Lincoln,
