fathers have thought if they had been ,old that the most sacred day in the history of the world would be celebrated in Christian city by the firing of fire crackers and the blowing of tin horns? Yet so 1t is. The same imp of the per verse which has possessed the Fourth of July has captured Christmas here in Savannah, and he has not only bewItch- ed the small boy but all classes of the people,
 On Christmas eve 1t seemed to us northerners as if the whole population had taken leave of it's senses. The streets-not only the sidewalks, but the roadWays-Were literally full of people firing hrecrackers and blowing tin horns, We noticed near us an elderly, well dressed man blowing vigorously upon his tin horn; also group of aNs- tocratc ladies and gentlemen, walking two by two, blowing, or rather playing, upon tin horns that had three hideous notes. It was not a carnival. There were no pgOcessions, no throwing of bon-bons or sWeetmeats, only a pande- monium of noise in what everybody seemed to be ridiculously happy, The noise begins on Christmas eve and con tinues all through the next day, and there are fireworks on Christmas night. It is the same as our Fourth of July, with the addition of the universal tin horn. This tin horn is the same which forms @ part of the college curriculum in the north. It is not regarded hare as a mark of intellectual superiority, as a nigger can blow it as well as a white man.
 have made inquiries as to the origin of the strange mode of celebrating Christmas, but all in vain. It is as much without history as without req son. But it is here apparently to stay. Savannah has city ordinances, as we have in regard to firecrackers and fire works, but as with Us they are mere ornaments of the city records, evidences of the better sense of the community.
 There is, of course, another side to Christmas in Savannah. Tn the Epis- COpal churches there are the usual ser vices on Christmas eve, and there is
 mass in the Catholic churches in the morning, but it is difficult to listen | either to prayers or the music. There l is the old-fashioned English Christmas
 dinner, and there are the Christmas
 gifts. The colored walters in the ho-
 tels won't let you forget these, and peo- 1 pie, in spite of the noise, will wish you
 a merry Christmas. A.

THIEF FOUND UNDER BED
ENTERED c! 2. NEWHALL'S mouse
 IN ORANGE YESTERDIY.

His Name Is John F. Isyan~-He is an or- phan and Only Tlrteen Years Old-- Came to New Haven Saturday and Irut Up
 at the KcnwlcIS gouse--Had Lived With
 Farmer in Colchester.
 John r. Ryan is fifteen years-old and an orphan About 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon he was brought to police headuuarters and charged Wnh theft, He entered the residence of G, T. New hall in Orange, and was caught before he got out, Ryan came to New Haven last Saturday and went to the Kenwick house, Hc was assigned to room r and occupied it during the night.
 About 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon he was seen to leave the house. Ac- cording to his own story he crossed West river and walked into Orange. Af- ter walking about for some time he came to the NeWhal residence He watched his opportunity and glided through an open window. He found his way into a bedroom and rifed seVera!
  cents in one pair and a. watch in anoth- CT. He then passed on to the bureau where he saw someth ing that almost made his hair stand up on end.
 It was a revolver an l it's steel gilt tered awfully. Tt was several moments before the youth had su uGicient courage to advance, and then he did so hastily. He grasped the cold metal, and as quickly as possible rolled himself under the bed. This action was brought about by the sound of footsteps. They ap- preached nearer and nearer, and final ly entered the very room in which Ryan was concealed. August Chapel, the hired man, had been sent to investigate noises which had been heard upstairs. He discovered the orphan under the bed, tripped quietly out without eaying a word, got a rifle and then returned. With this the thief was pursuaded to place himself in evidence, which he did promptly, when told that he would re- ceiye the contents of the weapon if he chose otherwise.
 Ryan was ordered to pushl the reVol- yer from him along the f1COr, and he was so frightened that he readily ac- ouiesced in everything asked of him. He was bound and brought to New Ha- ven in a wagon, and will be tried in the police court this morning Until two wears ago the prisoner was an inmate of St. Francis orphan asylum. He was found a home with a family in Col chester. He was born in New London.

ARRTTED AT NORFOLK R0ADs.
perilous Voyage Of the Schooner George r
 Dudley.

Word has just reached this city of the arrival in Norfolk Roads of the schoon- CT George E. Dudley, Captain Wilson, of this city. The Dudley sailed from Bridgeport ten days ago, just after the severe northeast gale. Captain Wilson reports, however, that when about eighty miles southeast of Sand Hook the three-master was struck by hur- ricane from the eastward, which nearly threw her on her beams ends, as she was light, and which threatened to dis mast her. As it was, everything held except the spanker and mainsail, The latter was split in the blow from one end to the other. The spanker gaff was split in pieces and the spanker boom went by the board. The aftersail which got entanglcd in the broken spars, was a total wreck. Everything movable was washed from the deck.
 Captain Wilson says that it was only because his forerigging held that he was able to reach Norfolk without as sistance. He worked the vessel into port under foresail and jib.

A PREVALENT DISEASE.
Not Necessarily Dangerous, but Ma
 Become So,


 American men and women suffer from very general disease, dyspepsia. Dyspepsia has many symptoms, Thin, pale people are generally dyspeptic. Hollow cheeks, bad breath, acid eruc- tatlons, palpitation of the heart, hot and cold tlushes, headaches, nausea and vomiting, all these are symptoms of dyspepsia,
 What does dyspepsia mean In two words, imperfect digestion. How can We remedy it Not alone by resort to drugs. We must rest the stomach.
 For this purpose we must put into 1t a food which is already digested and which will aid the digestion of other foods We must take Shaker Digestive Cordial for this is just such prep aration. It contains food which will be absorbed at once. It also contains principles which will assist the dges- tion of other foods, while last, but not least, it contains 8 combination of those drugs in the cultiva tion of which the Shakers have been so successful, and which act by stimulating the liver and bowels.
 Imperfect digestion is often caused by overwork of the digestive appara- tus, too much food food eaten too quickly, nervous worry etc.
 The Shaker Digestive Cordial is the most successful remedy for indigestion that has ever been made. A single 10 cent bottle will afford relief in most cases, although this small quantity cannot be expected to effect a perfect cure.
 If you find it suitable in your own case, continue its use. All druggists keep it and can supply you with an ln- teresting descriptive pamphlet

 what unexplained mysteries there are in tbe customs even of civilized men. How strangely in the course of time the origin and purpose of a holiday may be aost in the manner of its observance. How came the miserable irecracker to destroy the dignity of the anniversary of our national independence, and rob us of all the patriotic pride and pleas ure we could have taken in the day? Instead of being for Americans the greatest day of all the year it is the day most of all to be dreaded. Yet the Fourth of July has suffered no such utter perversion as has Christmas here in Savannah. It would no doubt have been regarded almost as a desecratlon in the first century after Christ if the day of His birth had been celebrated by big dinners and the giving of pres ents. Still, it may be pleaded that the good cheer and the gifts of our modern Christmas savor of that good will to men, which was a part of Christs mes sage. But what would the Christian
