The Glse Club Concert.

The Princeton University Glee Club,
representing the musical and social side OF
Princeton will be at the theater tonight
under the auspices Of the Georgia Hussars.
The concert will be notable one in many
ways. Princeton this year sends to the
south the finest clubs that have ever left old
Nassau hall. Besides a larger and better
drilled club than in previous years, there
will be some Of the most artistic as we'll
as amusing solo renditions. The work of
Mr.. Harrington and Mr.. Inslee are worthy
OF the best men in the country in their re-
spective lines. Indeed the latter is looked
upon by those who have heard him as q
second and coming Whitney.
The glee clubs visit will take social
form. In Augusta the members was enter
tained at two or three receptions. They were

party OF girls wearing the orange and black

their yell-"Sissl Boom ! All Princetonw

electricity Of the motor had occasioned a
spontaneous combustion. Altogether they
were royalty treated, and were found In
every way charming set of men. They
will hardly have less welcome in Savan-
nah. The Hussars have been making an
industrious effort 70 have successful con-
cert and they have every Assurance Of hav-
Ing done so.

TRYING TO SAVE MCOY.

Little Chance, However, for the Lib
erty County Murderer.
: A strong effort is being made to secure
communication Of the death sentence of VIII
Mccoy (colored), who is to hang at Hines
vile Friday, to imprisonment for life
Lawyer Ben Way of Liberty county who
defended Mccoy, is in Atlanta with a petit
ton TO the governor asking that his sem
tence he committed. Gov. Northen tele-
graphed W. w. Osborne, Esq, of this city,
yesterday, who. as acting solicitor general /,
prosecuted Mccoy, concerning the matter.
Mr.. Osborne replied at once, and wrote the
governor last night full statement Of the
facts OF the trial and McCoys conviction.
Both Judge Falligant and Mr.. Osborne
refused to sign the petition for COM
mutation, and it is, in fact, signed
by none Of the court or
county officials of Liberty county, so that
McCoys chances are not very good for any
interference by the governor with the ex-
ecution of the sentence.
Mccoy was convicted at the November
term Of court and was sentenced to hang
Dec. Is. The governor granted reprieve
until Jan. 8, and now the condemned mans
attorney is using every effort in his behalf
TO secure further clemency. The basis of
the appeal to the governor is that McCoys
attorney did not have ample time in which
to prepare his defense before the case went
TO trial and that it has been discovered that
oil the facts were not brought out
The prosecuting attorney does not regard
the case one for the exercise OF executive
clemency. The killing was cold.blooded
and the conviction Of Mccoy was speedy
aud without difficulty

A Matter OF Information.

In reply to the question by good many
friends and customers as to why we do not
have any discount sales? we will state
that as we run regular strictly one-price
system, with each and every article marked
In plain figures, we cannot at the beginning
of season put any fancy prices on our
goods, neither can we charge one customer
who may be an easy one, or not q judge of
goods,) more than another. We have but
one low popular live and let live price,
which by comparison, has and will be fonnd
cheaper than these apparent discount
prices. We only make reductions on our
stock once a season, before inventory which
we take twice year. When we do this we
do not offer any fabulous per cent. discount.
as we do not put came on, and as we have
expenses to pay in order to run our BUSH
ness, we would be foolish to advertise sell
ing goods at cost or at large discounts as
the Savannah public is 100 wise to believe
we are doing business for fun or glory. All
we ask is an examination of our stock and
prices which will speak for themselves.
Very respectfully,
I'D. APPEL e. SoHAUL.

Of New Orleans says: THE play

there being only two light or comedy scenes
In it, and they are in no way necessary to
the development of the story. Catherine
Howard affords Rhea fine opportunities to
display her abilities in tragedy, and it is
not too much to say that she appeared the
same cOnsummate mistress of her art that
she has IN the lighter and more lovsbe
character of 'Czarina.' Though Rhea is par
ticularly happy In refined comedy and in
strongly emotional roles, requiring exquis.
tie defines and tact, it is a great
mistake to suppose that she 10 not
equal to the strain Of the most
tragic scenes. Though Catherine Howard
has nothing but her rare beauty and
subtlety TO recommend, her she was, never
theless. a heroine last night. Catherine
Howard is quite as brutal and ferocious in
the accomplishment of her ambitious de-
signs as Lady Macbeth. and then there is a
vile side to her character, with which
Shakespeare's character was not tainted,

The Result of Marir.

When anything stands test of fifty years
among discriminating people like the
Americans, it is pretty good evidence that
there is merit somewhere. The value of a
medicine is best proved by its continued use
from year TO year by the same persons
and families, as we'll as by steady increas-
ing sale. Few, IL any, medicines have met
with such continued success and popularity
as has marked the introduction and pro.
gress Of BRANDRETH's PILLS, which, after
trial of over fifty years, are conceded to
be the safest and most effective purgative
ana blood purifier introduced TO the public
That this is the result Of merit, and that
BRANDRETH's PILLS actually perform all
that is claimed for them, is conclusively
proved by the fact that those who regard
them with the greatest favor are those who
have used them the longest.
BRANDRETH's Pulls are sold In every
drug and medicine store. either plain OF
