Working Up q Trade.

Will Frick, who is one OF the mem.
bers of the firm OF Dyer, Ingham d
Co., came mp from Brookings Saturday
to see how their mill was running.
Mr.. Frick claims that they have the
best mill in this section OF the state.
and we can readily believe it from the
amount OF work done by them. Their
flour is recoe uized by every one to be
OF the very best, and they are rapidly
working up a trade at distant points.

Pleasure Party Pulled.

Last Wednesday morning H. Q.
RonniDg was seen rolling a barrel ln-
to his tailor shop and as sultings 90
not come in like cases people smelled
q "mouse." At 6 O'Clock in the even
ing it was evident from the racket
in the shop that the boys had been
royalty (?) entertained by the host.
A few moments later the spirit of the
chief entertainer (alcohol began to
work and a free fight took place. The
coal stove was thrown out into the
street and demolished. Then came
Ronning and about the time be got
out doors his "right hand man"
picked him up aud threw him back
into the shop where he landed in q
pile OF ashes. While this was going on
the "revelers" kept up the fight at the
rear door. The city marshal came on
the stage at this point and arrested
the whole gang. including H. o. Ron
ming, Lewis Larson, Ole Larson No. 2.
A. E. Henley and Gunder Jornliue,
also the remainder OF ten gallon can
OF alcohol was taKen prisoner. The
hearing was held before Justice
Anderson yesterday morning.
The pleasure party plead guilty. H.
o. Ronning was fined $50 and costs,
and the remaining quartet $40 and
costs. Jornine paid his fine and the
others were taken to the Watertown
Jail in default OF paying their fines.
AS luck would have it there was nc
fire in the stove when it was knocked
over in Ronning's shop which perhaps
saved q confagratiop.

"A Credit to BrOOkings-An Honor to
the Participants.
The rendition OF the canrata.
" Esther, the Beautiful Queen" at
the opera house last week Thursday
and Friday evenings, proved to be
the best entertainment ever given IN
this city by local talent. The solns,
DUETS, quartetts and choruses were
exceptionally we'll rendered. The
costumes rich and entire arrangement
attractive.
f. G. DAVIS,
as "King Ahasuerus," a carried his part
perfectly. His commanding presence
and demeanor, the rendition of his
solos and duets are deserving of
more than special mention.
Miss BERTHA CAMPBELL.
"Queen Esther" herself could not
have better carried the role assigned
to Miss Campbell, who entered into
her part with enthusiasm and spirit.
Her true dignity and grace won the
admiration OF all. Miss Campbell has
sweet voice and her gestures at all
times were perfect.
PROF. S, p. LAPHAM,
who took the part OF "Haman" had
only a few days in which to prepare.
The roll had been assigned w. H.
Roddle. but Mr.. Roddle was called
away on account Of the serious illness
OF a sister, and Prof. Lapham un-
willingly took his place. Under the
circumstances the part was we'll
rendered.
MISS NETTIE SLOAN,
as "Zerish," Haman's wife, did ex.
tremeiy we'll and, while the part was
not an easy one, the young lady was
equal TO the demands and sang her
solos in a very pleasing manner.
RIPLEY s. LYON
performed we'll the roll OF Mordecai"
and without fattery we say that 1t
Is doubtful il the part was ever pro.
5uced in more pleasing manner,
Mr.. Lyon has q sweet and strong
tenor voice, and his acting was simply
grand.
MISS MADISON,

Sister" acted we'll her part and her
Well cultivated soprano voice filled
the opera house with melody.
MRS. 0. II. PARKER,
the "Prophetess," in her solos
ELECTED the hearty applause OF the
entire audience. While Mrs. ParKer's
voice has not tue range or iullness ol
some, hers is one of the sweetest
sopranos in the city and no part In
the cantata was taken better or was
more thoroughly appreciated.
The following, while constituting
the minor parts, were none the less
important and each carried their role
with the ease and confidence OF vet
Grams, demonstrating their ability

FEWER WEDDINGS MvERY YEAR.

Marriages in Savannah Becoming
Beautifully Less All the Time.
Marriages among the white people OF
Savannah are decreasing. An inspection Of
the ordinary's license books for the last three
or four years will bear out this statement.
Clerk Keilbacb said that the decrease is be-
coming remarkable. and each year the num-
Der OF licenses issued is becoming beautifully
less
The question naturally arises: Why this
state Of Affairsl The explanations ad-
vanced are numerous and varied, each per-
son asked giving q different reason The
most plausible one is advanced by we'll
known young man:
THE reason the young men of Savannah
don't marry in greater numbers, - said he,
us that their salaries won't allow it. Take
the average young man, who receives from
$50 to 500 per month"; salary which in
times gone by would have been ample to
launch on the sea of life with partner. He
can't support wife and family out of that
now. The girls Of the present day in most
cases are brought up to certain
degree Of comfort by indulgent parents,
who have labored for years to
acquire small competency for this pur-
pose. A man don't care to take girl away
from comfortable home unless he can 90
equally as well by her as her parents, and
the result d that there is no marriage.
Another thing is that lots of girls, after
marrying, instead of helping their husbands
by looking after the household affairs, insist
on having two or three servants, thereby
increasing the expenses and making it al
most impossible to save anything THIS
scares of the young men, who would like TO
marry. They say:
Look at so and so. He's married, but
then look at the expense he is under and how
he has to struggle No, thank you, I'll take
single blesSedneSs. The times are not like
when our fathers and mothers Joined hearts
and hands to walk together the rugged
paths of life. Each helped the other and
endeavored to save up little nest egg for
the rainy day. Nowadays it is the reverse
with most of the gentler sex. Spend it while
you have it and let the rainy day take care
OF ITSELF"
Whether the above reasons for the de-
crease are true and valid is question, but
at the same time the fact remains that
women folks and bachelors are increasing,
while marriages are decreasing

SAVANNAH PUSHING CHICAGO.

Savannah is getting to be a second

voted entirely to divorce business, sixteen
being disposed of. Some were given second

Several were white and the balance vari-

fact that they can now go to church

risk of being jostled in the streets toy drunken

with each other in having proper obssrv-

course Of those who had already taken Wig

His honor also called the attention Of the
jury to the violation Of the state laws re-

EASTER COMES VERY EARLY

The Festival This Year Almost as
Early as it is Possible for it to be-
The fact that Easter falls on a very early
date this year, March 90, has caused a
friend Of fact and figures" to collect some
curious statistics. In 1858 Easter fell on
March Is. and it will only once again this
century, namely, in 1894. fall on so early
date. In the three following centuries il
will occur only eight times on the same
date-namely, in 1851, 2035. 2046, 2057,
2l03, 21l4, 1928 and 2l9S
The earliest date on which Easter can
fall is March q, and this only in case the
moon is full on March 81, when this date
happens to fall on Saturday. This combi-
nation of circumstances is extremely rare:
it occurred in 1890, 1861 and 1917, and will
happen again in 1890, 2076 and 2l44, while
during the three following centuries it is
not once ION the books" at this early date.
On the other hand, Easter never falls later
than April %; this was the case in 1866,
1874 and 1885, and Will only happen once
in the next century-namely, in 194S.
