The ladies especially are invited to turn

souvenir of the biggest auction sale of fine

be sold in the short time designated.

THE WIRES STOPPED HIM.
A Burglar Tackled the Alarm Con-
nectiOns and His Job Spoiled.

An attempt to rob the store of NJ. Brown
NO 80 Whitaker street at o'clock yester-
Day morning, was frustrated by the Burg
lar Alarm Company. Mr.. Brown occupies
the store formerly used by the Plymouth
Rock Pants Company, having purchased
the stock of that concern.
The burglar climbed upon a shed in the
rear of the building to an oval sidelight
window. There were three iron bars
across the window. By working out a
brick on each side he managed to get out
one Of the bars. He then loosened the
putty fastening the glass and took out the
glass. Several fine wires had recently
been strung across the window as a part
OF the alarm system. The burglar found
these in his way and tore them out. When
ne dld the alarm sounded at the office of
uhe burglar alarm company. The two
Wa Schnen on duty ran down to the place
at once, blowing their whistles for police
assistance. Four policemen responded
promptly. This is the first time in the re-
cent history of Savannah that such a thing
caught, however.
1t is supposed that when the watchmen
ran down to the front of the building the
burglar, who had not yet made his en-
trance, saw them, the street being we'll
lighted while he was in darkness A
thorough search of the neighborhood was
made, but without success. The police
are satisfied that there was no chance fOr
the burglar to escape from the neighbor-
hood as they surrounded the place imme-
dlately on their arrival, and for this reason
they incline TO the belief that he lives in
one or the houses in the immediate neigh
borhood. A part of the burglars tools
were found lying on the shed where he had
LETT them and the rest we're found in a
yard IN the rear OF Mrs Lees boarding
house on York street, where 1t is Supposed
he threw them in his flight.

"THE CHIMES OF NORMANDY"
The Opera to BE Given at Two Per-
fOrmances This Month.

fOrmRnces This Month.
The Chimes of Normandy, TO be given
by home talent at the theater April %
and "a, Is undoubtedly one of the bright
est and most popular operas on the stage
The music is bright and catchy, in places
bold. and always descriptive of the words
Although not classical it is pure, good
and legitimate. The opera. from begin
ming to end, is gem of exceptional
beauty and brilliancy; pleasing and last
ing, holding the attention and interest
of the audience from the rise of the cur
tain until its fall.
There is plenty of scope for very pretty
effects in the marches, dances, pretty
costumes, and contrast scenic effects
which vary from the brilliant fair scene
to the interior of the haunted chateau
which is shrouded with mystery. and in
which the legend of the bells IS fulfilled
The Chimes of Normandy is probably
the very best opera in the reach of anna
teurs that can be put on the stage. The
chorus has been thoroughly drilled, and
are well up in their part singing with
fine effect, and dancing, and ac1ng, with
a grace that would shame the average
professional opera company. No one who
has failed to appreciate this fact This
most satisfactory result has been attained
through the untiring efforts Of the eff
cient director. Mr.. Spencer M White,
who has given the opera a dozen or more
times in various parts of the country
The caste is selected from the best sing
ers and dramatic talent in the city
