MAY WEEK ECHOES.
Big Crowds Here But Not as Much
Trading Done as Formerly.

/ Big Crowds Here But Not as Much
Trading Done as Formerly.
Many Of the visitors to the Merchants
week celebration remained in the city yes
terday making purchases and quietly
taking in the city. Altogether it is gener
ally agreed TO have been the most success
| full Merchants week celebration in point of
numbers that has taken place.
The number OF visitors to the city during
the celebration is variously estimated az
from 1000 to 10000. This Is on a close
calculation, as based upon the reports made
| by the railroads. The exact statement as to
arrivals has not yet been made by the roads,
but it is not thought that 1t falls below the
first named figure.
Last year the celebration lasted a week,
and there were hardly 1000 visitors TO the
city during the entire time. The hotels
were only comfortably crowded. This year
the hotels were packed the morning Of the
first day and continued so throughout the
celebration. In fact, they were nearly all
full last night
The visitors did not trade as heavily as
the merchants expected and would have
liked, There seemed to be somewhat of a
scarcity Of cash, aud little money was
thrown away foolishly.
AS for the celebration, considering the
fact that It was planned on a small scale to
time drew nearer and that the association
had only a comparatively small amount Of
money TO work with, a very good show
was made.
1t might have been better managed in
some respects, perhaps. and a little more
attention might have been given some Of
the features, the trades display, for instance,
which was a mere advertising affair.
Almost the entire work OF getting I'D and
preparing Tor the celebration, how
ever, was done by few men, and
this must be taken into consideration.
President Palmer's health is such that he
was able to give but a small part OF his
time to the affairs Of the celebration.
Next year 1t might be better to extend
the celebration over five days instead Of
three and to have a more varied list of at
fractions. 1t might cost something more,
but the merchants and business men of the
city would not lose anything by contributing
for better display. 1t would be q good
idea TO provide few first-cIass attractions,
to which reasonable admission should be
charged.
The warships added greatly to the cele-
bration and their visit will be remembered
for some time to come. The marines have
become familiar sight on the streets.
There is great complaint of the manner
10 which the TYbee excursion was managed
by the Central railroad officials. The acci-
dent on the road was very disastrous to the
Merchants Week Association, which is out
some $500 or more because Of 1t. The result
of the celebration will have splendid effect
In one direction. 1t assures the people OF
Savannah that they can have celebration
every year IL they wish.
Merchants week can now be regarded as
an established annual occasion, and one in
which the whole city is interested in max
ing success

MISS GARMANY's MARRIAGE.
Mr., Mo Allister Took Out a Licens'
Here Five Years Ago.

Mr.. McAllister Took Out a License
Here Five Years Ago.
The announcement in yesterdays MORN
ING NEWS of the secret marriage of Mr..
Hayward H. McAllister of New York and
Miss jamie Champion Garmany Of this city,
in New York five years ago, created quite
sensation. Miss Garmany went north
about three weeks ago and her family here
say they were greatly surprised when they
read the story in the MORNING NEWS. They
also say 1t was the first intlmatiou they had
of the marriage.
In the court OF ordinary of this city there
is & record OF the issuance OF marriage
license Jan. 4, 1887, the same year tho mar
riage took place In New York, to Mr.. Nc
Allister, claiming Scriven county as his
residence, and Miss Garmany Of Chatham
county. This license was not used as it has
never been returned TO the court Of ordi-
nary.
1t was general talk in social circles here
for years that Mr.. McAllister aud Miss
Germany were engaged TO be married, but
there was never the slightest iukling that
the marriage had actually taken place. The
secret was guarded we'll.
1t Is known that Mr.. Ward MoAllister
had only one objection to his son marrying
Miss Garmauy, and that was that his son
was without fortune or paying business
Mr. McAllister, ii is said, had high re-
gard for the young lady, and so expressed
himself on many occasions.
The marriage was, therefore, kept secret,
probably with the hope that young Mr.. Mo
Allister would get into position that would
justify him In taking wife.

81 Am So Tiredn

Is a common exclamation at this season.
There is a certain bracing effect in cold air
which is lost when the weather grows
warmer; and when nature Is renewing her
youth, her admirers feel dull, sluggish and
tired. This condition is owing mainly to
the impure condition Of the blood, aud its
failure to supply healthy tissue to the vari-
Gus organs of the body. 1t ia remarkable

II want a pair OF shoes aud socks"
"Shoes and socksn asked the proprietor
in surprise. II don't keep dry goods

take, but he managed to tell long tale of
woe. While enjoying the giddy festivities
Of May week the countrymGn had partaken
of large quantity Of 'open house liquor"
which soon put him to sleep He was dozing
peacefully on the market steps when some
uncharitable wretch came along and di-

up at least SIS, 900 more, bringing the total
up TO over 800, 900 with insurance of hardly
half that amount.
The ruins of the fire smoldered all Of yes
terdsy and several plug streams were kept
playing upon them by the tiremen. The
scene was visited by hundreds of people
during the day. Most Of the houses will be
rebuilt at once.
The fierceness of the fire can be imagined
from the fact that the horses Of the mogul
reel were badly blistered while running
down the south side of Huntingdon street to
lay length Of hose within FIVE minutes
after the fire was discovered. The drivers
face was also slightly blistered.
Engine No. 5, which was caught between

all the paint on the wheels is blistered to
such an extent that 1t will have to be scraped

THE OPERA.

Deshon Presents a Splendid Por-
traysl of the Miser Character.
The actor who has the power to hush the
Ill timed mirth that invariably breaks out
at most Inappropriate times IN nearly all
audiences must be an artist. That is what
Frank Deshon as "Gaspard" in the "Chimes
OF Normandy" did last night. The theater
was full Every seat In parquet and dress
circle was taken and there were numbers OF
people standing 1t was an exceptional
audience, made up of ladies and gentle
men who could appreciate the fine
old opera, who could distinguish
between comedy aud tragedy, and were pre-
pared 70 applaud meritoriouz portraYals Of
character and laugh at the proper time.
But, as usual, there were several persons
present who thought it was always time to
laugh. When "Gaspard" began his CHASTITY
nominations In the tower they laughed; as
he counted his gold and Rloated over it they
laughed. but not 30 loud. But when the
toling Of the bell warned him and he found
himself undone, the shrek he uttered and
the frenzy that seized him froze the laugh IN
the Threats of the very few who were dis
posed 60 see nothing moro than a carfoature
on man In old "Gasperd's" character. 1t
was a fine bit Of artistic work, and Mr..
Deshon was rewarded fer it by being called
before the curtain.
As a whole the opera was well sung. The
company is very we'll balanced as to the
cspahilisiesDlof its members; they work
tremendously lin action as we'll as In music)
and produce very pleasing results. That
their effoskS are APPRECIATED is evidenced by
the large Htse Aa8hce nightly.
