SUGAR FOR THE ORPHANS.
Nearly Five Barrels Collected at the
Childrens' Rirmess Ball.

Nearly Five Barrels Collected at the
Chi1drens' Kirmess Ball.
The Kirmess ball given at the Odd
Fellows hall last night, was, considering
the object in view, decided success. The
objects of the ball were two: to give the
children who participated in the Kirmess
good time, and to collect donations Of
sugar for the Episcopal Orphans Home
for the benefit of which the Kirmess was
given.
After the ball when the sugar was in
spected there were found Just 1913 pack
ages, all but five of which contained five
pounds Of sugar each. Five contained
twenty-five pounds each, and there was
one basket containing a like amount.
This makes In all just l090 pounds or
nearly five barrels. The sugar was all of
good quality with few exceptions. Most
of it was graduated sugar, but there was
good deal OflOaf sugar and now and then
a package of brown sugar. Sugar enough
was collected to keep the orphans in
sweets for six months at least, and per-
haps longer
A large number of the children were
present, many of them in costume. The
dances Of the little flower girls and the
gypsies were repeated, as were also the
special dances of Misses Edith Robinson
and Ada Ehrlich Several of the Japs
were also present in costume. The ball
began at O'Clock and lasted until nearly
10 o'clock. The children enjoyed dancing
while their relatives and friends looked
on. The entertainment was chaperoned
by Mrs. Charlton, Mrs. Haskell and Mrs.
Hunter.
All bills due by the ladies of the Kir-
mess which are correct will be paid at 60
Charlton street.

THE STREET RAILWAY WAR.
The Electric Line Shows No DISPOSE
ton to Reduce Fares.

LAOh W 1bC00G6 ares
There have been no new developments
in the street railroad war since the re-
auctions in fares by the City and Sub
urban a few days ago. The Electric
railway has shown no disposition to meet
the cuts of its rival. In fact, President
Collins claims that the Electric railway
has as yet felt no ill effect from the OBJ
vious attempts of the City and Suburban
railway to draw its travel. He predicts
that the rival line will soon get sick of
its attempt to make living at 3 cents a
ride.
AS long as the Electric railway has the
monopoly of the base ball travel its Off
GERS can afford TO laugh at the fight made
by the opposition AT least that is the
way they look at it now apparently
The City and Suburban people have
just an opposite story to tell from that
told by President Collins. Director Har-
riman said yesterday that he is more than
pleased with the result of the three cent
fares on the West Broad street and the
BrOughtOn and Habersham street lines
"Our travel has almost doubled on
these lines" he said, land the result has
proved both pleasing and profitable. 1t
is hardly possible that we should
have such a large increase in
travel without some of it being
drawn from our rivals, though | see they
do not acknowledge this. The thirty
days limit of our agreement with the
Electric railway as to Thunder
bolt fares will soon expire, and
we will then be able to make
Scent fare to the eastern limit of the
city, besides reducing the fare to Thun-
derbolt to 10 cents instead of 20 cents, as
at present. The cheap tickets on the
City and Suburban railroad, sold only at
Barnard and New Houston streets. are
only side issue, and have not cut much
figure so far"
Mr.. Hartman was asked what the next
step in the fight will be-
well, we have done all the fighting so
far, ;" he replied, land l think it is about
time for the other side to make a move.
If they don't we will. We don'tintend to
let the fight lag, and you can safely count
on its lasting all summer. The street
railway business has been over
done in Savannah, and the sooner
that fact is recognized the bet
ter AS the older line we think
we are entitled to some consideration. If
the other people ChO ose to come in and
parallel our lines at the risk of doing a
losing business that is not our fault.
They have injured US without benehting
themselves, and now they must take the
consequences. We are not in the street
railway business for our health, and if
the people want to ride cheap we are
going TO give them the chance.

Metropolitan Life.

The Metropolitan Life Insurance Com
pany of New York, have opened an Office
in the city, and Mr.. Charles f. Flick has
been appointed superintendent. The
Office of the company is in the Odd Eel
lows Building, rooms S and g.
The Metropolitan is the leading indus
trial insurance company of America,
with $40, 343, 705.0 assets and a, ITO, 420. 90
surplus, and during the year 1888 paid
its policy holders s., 1913, 707. So Industrial
insurance is especially adapted to persons
OF moderate means. 1t costs cents. per
week and upward-no initiation fee is
charged, no increase of payments is re-
CURED. The premiums are collected
weekly at the houses Of the policy hold
ers, all ages from year to 40 are taken
and death claims are promptly paid
The Metropolitan makes a speciality of the
industrial insurance and it affords pro-
lection at the lowest cost to those in mod
crate circumstances. The trouble has
been that many could not afford to pay
the yearly or half yearly premiums in the
old style companies, and consequently as
sessment associations were resorted to
or no insurance carried. The Metropolitan
obviates all this-it gives the best insur-
ance for the least money-and allows
payments to be made weekly, Its stand
ing is such as to inspire confidence and
its methods are worthy the consideration
of all interested in Life Insurance.

crazed with delight al seeing the train
once more running through the town,
after the lapse of two-thirds Of year.
Mayor McDonough is being generally
congratulated upon the success of his
undertaking. To rebuild the road in such
a short space of time and have it ready

THE SEASONS LAST PLAYS.
Mrs. John Drew's Return Engagement
This Week.

Mrs. John Drew and company, who
played a successful engagement here in
March, will return this week for two
nights and matinee engagement, opening
Tuesday night with the Road to Ruin -
At Wednesdays matinee "A Jealous
Wife, will be presented, and Wednesday
night Comedy of Married Life"
This will close the theatrical season.
Mrs. Drew was prodigy siZty-tve years
ago when, her manager tells US. she
played GOldtinch in the Road to Ruin -
she is a prOgidy now when she appears as
the Widow Warren in the same play
Those who saw her during her engage
ment here q short time ago are aware Of
her wonderful ability.
Widow Warren, in the "Road to Ruin. 4"
the vain relict Of rich man, is an exag-
GRAFTON Of type, but as Mrs. Drew in
terprets il one accepts it as life-size, and
in all of its details, true to nature. The
petty vanity of this silly creature seems
plain enough, even before the actress has
spoken it hangs there in the long love-
sick curl Of false hair, which fails from
the widows chignon upon her decollete
bosom; 10 flutters in the air with her
beringed fingers, and stands out with her
crinolined skirts. A coquette, very much
on the shady side of 40, is the Widow
Green, with keen scent for suitors and a
positive hunger for the marriage estate.
Her dalliance with the hOrsey Goldfnch,
whom she half despises, her rapturous
reception Of the necessity-driven ad-
dresses Of poor Harry Dorton, are equally
funny. The absolute Inconsistencies of
her ridiculous appearance which Mrs.
Drew maintains always, no matter how
loud the laughter of the audience, is not
the least among her triumphs as an
artist
The company supporting Mrs. Drew is
the same as that which supported her
during her previous engagement.

COMPANY B ON A sERENADE.
The Guards Compliment Lit H. II.
Bacon.

bacon.
Company B of the Guards complimented
their newly elected first lieutenant, Mr..
II. H. Bacon, with a serenade last night.
The company left the arsenal about forty
strong at $50 o'clock headed by Middle
toms band, and proceeded to the home of
Mr.. Bacon on Hall street. A lavish
spread had been provided by Mr. Bacon.
TO which his comrades did full Justice.
The new lieutenant was called upon for
speech, but pleaded his duties us host
and was let off on promise to respond
some other time
The speech of the evening was made by
Mr. w. c. Hartridge, the newly elected
second lieutenant. MIR. Hartridge re-
viewed the history of Lieut.. Bacon's con-
nection with the company, and said the
record which he had made in the past
was sufficient guarantee of his course
in the future. He alluded TO Lieut.. Ba-
con as the typical volunteer soldier, the
type of the class which has given the
state soldiery the position which it occu-
pies to-day, and is destined to raise the
standard even higher yet. Mr. HartridGe
also spoke of the record made by other
members of the Bacon family with the
corps in time of war. The spirit of
friendly cordiality which exists between
the officers of the Guards and their sub
ordinates and the high respect in which
the officers are held by the latter were
strongly dwelt upon.
Speeches were made by Mr. II. NJ
Conner, Jr. Mr.. T. d. Rockwell, MIR. w
L. Clay, Capt. q. I. Cam, of Company G.
and others. Mr.. Bacon's hospitality was
en- Dyed TO the utmost. Jokes, songs and
speeches filled out the evening, and many
toasts were proposed to the success of the
popular lieutenant and Company Is. 1t
was after IL o'clock when the company
took its departure, after waking the
neighborhood with three rousing cheers
and tiger for Lieut. Bacon.
