PREPARING FOR THE HOLIDAYS.
The Stores Blossoming Out in Christ
mas Attire.

mas ALLlr6.
In spite Of the hard times, the Savan-
nah merchants are laying in large stocks
of holiday goods.
They know that money is scarce, but
they are going on the principle that il
the people have any money, they VIII
turn il loose for Christmas.
The show windows on BrOughtOn street
are beginning to exhibit q holiday appear
ance with their tastefufly arranged ex-
hibits of dress goods, millinery, toilet
articles and novelties Of every
character. Probably the passers-
by will see some very pretty
windows on Broughton street to-day. At
least that was the prospect yesterday,
and it is not likely that they will be dis
appointed.
Already some OF. the larger houses are
arranging and displaying their holiday
goods. Adler has filed his whole third
floor with holiday goods and knicknacks
of every character. from a thousand dolls
TO hundreds Of the latest automatic toys,
which delight the youngsters. The base
ment, too, IS filed with Christmas goods,
chiefly of fine orna"lental and decorative
crockery and glass gare.
The music houses report that they will
soon have on hand big stock Of musical
instruments OF every description with all
the latest novelties in their line which
they hope to sell in spite of hard times.
The iewelry houses have large stocks of
the latest novelties in this craft. There
is a lot of new and handsome designs, and
the exhibits present quite an attractive
appearance While other dealers have
been complaining of dullness the jewelry
dealers have been as busy as bees for
some time and appear to be doing a most
satisfactory business The demand for
wedding presents at this season is great
help to the jewelry business and with the
demand for Christmas presents which
has just begun the dealers in this line are
in clover.
There are so many small articles
which make desirable pres
ents that people who have
any money at all can hardly help buying
Nice silverware is always acceptable and
there appears to be big output in this
line this season. Costly jewelry and gems
are not in much demand, but the small
articles appear to be in big demand.
The furniture dealers have laid in big
line of goods Of the latest styles and are
in hopes the holiday trade will not pass
them by.
The millinery stores are making very
attractive displays Just now, and appear
to be doing a rushing business.
The crOckery and glassware stores are
showing up very handsomely, also.
Savannah will soon put on her holiday
dress, and as the merchants realize that
money is scarce, and intend to sell on
small margins, trade this month will
doubtless be heavy

From the New York Times
When the train rolled under the shadow
OF Virginia mountain, and made one of
those incoherent stops to which Through"
trains are somewhat given, the bushy-
proved passenger craned his neck out of
the window and tried to discover what
was the matter, with the usual unsatis-
factory result His two travelling com
panions-there were only three in the
compartment of the smoker-wished he

which the elderly man in the corner eyed
with exceeding disfavor. His accent was
worse than his hat. Putting the three
together, his curiosity, hat and accent,
the geographical problem Of his nativity
was as simple as the mere adding of them
together
The elderly passenger was as easy to
classify. There could have been no boubt
that he was from the south-the most
ineXpert guesser would have said that.
An empty sleeve and a certain martial air
would have led the same reckoner to CON
clude that he had also borne arms for
that section during the time when the
two sections were yis-a-vis with each
other.
The man with an accent made an OBJ
servation about the brightness of the
moonlight, which caused the elderly one

LIBRARY HALL IN NEW DRESS.
The Catholic Library Associations
Winter Programme.


The Catholic Library Association has
just completed the work of renovating
and improving the appearance of the in
terror OF its hall. The work has been
done in very tasteful manner, and the
halls and rooms now present a very hand
some appearance. Special attention was
given to the main hall and rooms on the
second floor.
The walls are painted in olive, the col
Oring beginning in heavy olive at the
bottom and shading off to a light olive at
the top. A heavy dadO runs around the
lower portion of the walls just
above the wainscoting, while a light dado
completes the decorations around the
ceiling. The effect obtained is very good
Further improvements will be made in
the hall to increase its convenience for
use for balls and other social affairs.
The gallery will be altered to make it
more convenient for use as a supper room.
The hall is already in demand for the
winter entertainments which are in pros
pect for the season, and several dates
have been made for coming affairs.
The rooms down stairs have all been
painted different color. The library
and reception room is in lovely shade of
light green, which makes a beautiful
combination with the handsome carpets
in these rooms. The billiard room and
main hall below are in light drab aud
terra Gotta. Another table has been
added to the billiard and pool room, so
that now the association has three
billiard and two pool tables.
The wood and iron work on the exterior
of the building is also being reprinted

What Shall We See 2

There is one thing that no visitor TO Sa-

whether musical or unmusical; no matter
whether at present intending to buy any
thing in the music line or not, every one
should see the great SOUTHERN MrsIC
HOUSE OF LUDDEN X BATES. 1t may
seem an exaggeratiOn, but il is literally
true that there are not three larger estab-
lishments of the kind in the United
States, and none that compares with it in
the south. -Four floors and basement of
one of the largest business blocks in town
are entirely devoted to the displayof pi-
amos, organs, and everything relating to
music, and there will be scores of special
offers and attractive bargains to tempt
the visitor. Don't stay away, however,
for fear you win be importuned to buy.
All will be welcome, and all will see some
thing to repay them for the visit.-ad.

YALE FRESHMEN WIN.
The Harvard Eleven Beaten 80 to 4.
A Protest Against a Yale Man.

New Haven, Conn, Dec 2-The thir-
teenth annual game between the Yale and
Harvard freshmen was played at the Yale
field here this afternoon, resulting in
victory for the New Haven youngsters
with a record of 30 to 4.
The entire game was played without
Harvard securing a score, until within
the last sixty seconds when, crippled,
though they We're, with a magnificent
burst OF spirit, they pushed the ball down
the field and over the line for touch
down.
The game was one of the best inter-
collegiate class contests ever played here,
The team work was throughout good
and especially with Yale.
The features of the game were Muir
phys tackle of Lowering at Harvards Is
yard line, in which the latter lost the
ball, thus gaining for Yale the 7O-yard
punt of Cochraue Chadwick's continual
breaking through the Harvard line and
Ponds brilliant run of seventy-five yards
IN the second half from the 25-yard line
securing a touch down for Yale.
HARvARD's BEST WORKERS.
For Harvard, Wrightington and Weld
played fine game, the former making
repeated PUSHES for gains into the Yale
line, Dunlop also distinguishing himself
by clever playing in the last half. Har-
ward was lacking in team work, and was
especially weak at right tackle, the
halves and guards being constantly sent
through Scanned, for huge gains. and
with one exception all the touch downs
were made in this way The game was
not characterized by roughness and the
only man injured was Lowering, the Har-
ward full back.
The Harvard management announce
that they shall insist upon the protest
entered against Cochrane, the Yale full
back, who, it is alleged, was a substitute
on last years freshmen eleven.

NhAudA w O1RSs
Charles Huguenin, colored, employed at
the Savannah Guano Company's works,
fell from the runner at the works yes
terday and was badly injured. The runner
is an overhead railway, over which cars
loaded with guano are carried. Huguenin
was alone on this tramway and the acct
dent was seen by no one.
1t is supposed that the car jumped the
track, and that in endeavoring to balance
it and prevent it from going over he was
pulled off by it, and fell
TO the ground, distance of
about thirty feet. In falling
the negro struck small she'd which
broke his fall AS he fell to the ground

place where the accident occurred, rushed
out ana picked him up Huguenin was
unconscious and bleeding al the mouth.
MIR. Charles Wilcox tclephoned for the
police ambulance, which soon arrived
ana Huguenin was carried TO the Georgia
lnhrmary. During the wait for the am

complained of pains in the back and neck.

bones were broken but he is supposed to
be internally injured The car was de-

Emory College, Dec. 2.-The most ex-

here was played between the Junior and
sophomore classes Thursday, the latter
winning by score of IA to 0. Long be-
fore the hour appointed for the game, an
immense crowd filled the bleachers. Peo-
pie from far and near had come to wit
ness this decisive battle. Both classes
have developed good foot ball men and
betting was tolerably even. The game
was called promptly at 3 p. m. by Referee
Saussy, the Juniors in possession of the
ball. BY continued center plunges and
end runs, they carried the bali to the
Sophs' five yard line, where it was lost
by an off-side play The Sophs quickly
carried the ball out of danger by their
flying interference and the first half
ended with the Juniors in possession OF
the ball on the Sophs' 45-yard line, neither
side having scored. After a recess of
10 minutes the Sophs lead of with flying
