Thanksgiving day is Thursday and a
great meeting will he held in front OF
the exchange at noon of that day. The
object of the meeting is to pass suitable
resolutions thanking Hicks for the estab-
lishment and proper maintenance of the
only first-class restaurant known in the
history of Savannah.
What the people put up with and
what they missed before the Hicks era
is hard to estimate, but it is well known
that since last August every man in town
has had the opportunity OF living better
for less money than ever before. Hicks
deserves all the good things said Of him
The large investment necessary to estaf,-
fish such a place. the employment OF
only the best class of help, the use ~
absolutely pure food and the reduotior
of prices are some of the things Savar

A RAILROAD FIGHT.
The Subject Now AgitatIng the PeO-
pie of SnNmnnnh

At the big meetings at the board Of
trade and cotton exchange yesterday,
there was a lively discussion as to wheth-
er or not the people wanted new rail-
road to run into the city. The general
desire of those present was that they did
want another railroad, and as many more
as could come in and bring business to
the city, to help its growth and prosperi-
y. The main point in the matter, how
ever, was a question of law, which must
be settled by the legislature. That will
no doubt be done and the people of Sa-
Vannah will continue to buy their meats,
game and poultry from H Logan, in the
market, who does not want his competi-
tors ten miles away from him; but prefers
them near at hand, so that customers
can compare his choice selections with
the others in sight. The law allows Lo-
gan to bring his refrigerator cars from
the west filled with everything that is fit
for epicureans and he's satisfied to take
patronage as it comes, and is thankful to
say, it comes pretty brisk just now.-ad.

The series of lectures now in progress
at Infantry Hall gain constantly in value
and interest. The lecture OF tomorrow
evening gives promise of higher enjoy-
ment than any of the previous ones. In
order TO make 1t possible Mr.. Stoddsrd
embarked upon journey OF 70, OOU miles,
occupying nearly year. No experiences
in this comprehensive trip were more
fruitful in interesting topics and mag
nificent illustrations than those under
gone in India, where the American is
filled with admiration for the indomii-
able energy and persistence with which
his British cousins have created and knit
together a colossal empire, and where the
life and customs OF the native races are
so interesting TO study. Then India
boasts of the highest mountains in the
world, which Mr.. Stoddard had the good
fortune to see il all their glory against
the background OF cloDdless skies, and
of which he presents illustrat IONS that
are marvellous. The labor and enterprise
enlisted In this journey around the world
have never been parelleled by lecturer.
and the resulting lectures have created n
standard almost unapproachable.

Keilh's Opera House.

The new electrical drama, "Shaft No.
2, is the attraction at keith's Opera
House the present week, aud the above
mentioned cast has charge Of its produc-
tion.
The play is a strong one in many re-
spects, and there are some very unique
and praiseworthy features in 1t.
The special features OF the performance
are the interesting and excellent electrical
effects. These are especially prominent
in the shaft scene, where the miners are
saved from death by the quick breaking
open OF sn air shaft, and In the third net
where tho death OF the bitter and un-
scrupulous enemy OF the hero of the piece
taxes place. This scene is very thrill
ing one, and its effect was a notable one
on the audience.
The electrical storm is vivid one and
the change from a calm evening to a
sharp, summer evenings thunder and
lightning seems TO reach the very acne OF
realism. The lightning seems as natural
and as blinding, as the expression is, as
the genuine article. The electricians
outfit in the shop scene, and in the smaller
shop at Blackburn's home, are carefully
and correctly represented.
There Is also in the fourth act all the
appliances used In the electrocution of n
criminal and the scene with its witnesses
OF the death OF tho condemned Is a cory
OF that in lails where this manner Of dis
posing OF murderers is carried out.
The story of the play Is vigorous and
healthy one. It deals with the fortunes
and mishaps OF an inventor devoted to
bis employer 10 bring 10 fu1I perfection

posed the villainous efforts of an enemy

drama, and the rescue of the inventor

enemy who was killed by lightning..is
cleyerly brought about.
The mem bers of the cast gave evidence
last evening of their ability TO meet all
ths demands OF the various characters
assigned TO them. Frank Losee made q
very acceptable hero. W. ii. Murphy
gave an excellent representation of the
character of disliker OF work but a
lover OF money, no matter in what manner
obtained. His personation of this often
played character had some fresh features
and his speclalties were very entertain
ing. and met with the approval of the
audience. Miss Marion Elmore as Judy
O'Rourkc gave evidence of her appreci-
alton OF what the character of strong
tongued good hearted woman Is. q. w.
Roebiing's presentation of the devoted but
ever fearful spouse of Judy was worthy
OF the commendation it received.
