New School RniIdfng.

Monday is the day set by the board Of
school directors for examining plans Of the
proposed new high school building. So
far as the board is informed there will be
five ompetitors-B. M. f. Weeks, Hart
sock & White, Whitman & Page, Hooper
Bros. and Mr.. Cole. All are residents of
the city, and competent architects. The
principal problem Of the architects is to
furnish plans of such building as the city
should have and one that will not cost over
$25,000 An inspection of the plans show
that the different competitors are compe
tent architects and that the board will find
it exceedingly difficult to discriminate il
favor of one of them.

ROYAL. FELLOWS AT TABLE.
The Bill Nye Banquet at the Bat
terry Park.

terry kafk.
The Savannah Press knows a good
thing from atar off; as witness:
That was memorable banquet at
the Battery Park hotel in Asheville the
other night. Ex-editor McKissick ia
vored our old friend Bill Nye with one Of
his Christmas repasts of ambrosia and
holly sprigs, and the evening was a gen
uine feast OF reason and flow of soul.
Edgar w. Nye, whom his Buncombe
neighbors call "Bill," has become domes-
ticated in North Carolina. Bill does not
lecture or try to be funny when he is at
home in Buncombe, nor does he print his
photograph in the local papers. For
that reason he is very popular. The
children cry for him and the real estate
agents bask in his smile. AS between
Nye and Vanderbilt, Nye has larger
following and higher forehead, although
Vanderbilt has a bigger house and more
tennis court. Bill Nye settled in Ban
combe Just after Vanderbilt commenced
his million-dollar cottage. Nye deferred
his own building in order to take ad-
vantage of Vanderbilt's mistakes.
That was a memorable meeting, Nye
and Mckissick. Both are old newspaper
men, and have reformed. Nye is asso-
ciate editor of a new drama and Nc
Kissick is junior manager OF the Battery
Park. Nye has more fame, but Mckis'
sick has more flesh and good looks. No
woman would hesitate to award to the
Asheville man the palm for manly beauty
although the farmers in Buncombe might
prefer Nye's linen duster to Mckissick s
swallow-tail coat.
but the banquet was a memorable
one. Nye toasted 'our hosts and Nc
Kissick spoke for the press. 1t was I
great occasion. We have not yet re
ceived certified copy of the menu, but
echoes from Buncombe assure us that il
was a masterplece--an epic in cut-slas'
and smoked venison.'

BLAINE SUDDENLY ILL
GREAT EXCITEMENT CAUSED
IN WASHINGTON.

Every PrecautiOn Taken To Con
ceaI The Fact, hut UnsuccessfuI-

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan 6.-Grcat ex-
citement was caused in the department
of state this forenoon by the report that
Secretary Blaine had been taken sud-
denly i'll while at work in his Office.
The report proved to be true, but every
precaution was taken to prevent the fact
becoming public.
Surgeon General Brown, of the navy,
whose office is in the same building, was
summoned, and was promptly in at
tendance. Another physician from the
war department was also on hand in a
few minutes, and under their Joint efforts
Mr., Blaine was made to feel compara-
tlvely comfortable. His daughter, Miss
Hattie, was informed OF his condition,
and was soon at his side.
The alarm was great at first, but sub
sided about noon when the secretary
was reported as resting easily and as be-
ing entirely out of danger.
The nature of his illness is said to be
due altogether to temporary stomachic
arrangement. Mr.. Blaine was subsequent
ly removed to his house and it is now
