Hon. Howard Martin, formerly of the
/ United States legations in China and
| Japan, viii lecture at the Catholic Lii
/ prary nan tonight on Japan and the
| japanese" The subject of Mr. Martins
| lecture is both interesting and opportune.
1 Japan Is a country of which comparative
| ~ little is known in this country, but
| one which the people of Savannah would
/ like to know a great deal of.
! During his stay in Japan Mr.. Martin
made study of IT'S people, their man
ners and customs. He had many op-
/ portunities for insight into the myster-
/ les of the Far East denied to other
/ foreigners. Mr.. Martin eXcels in descrip-
tive power. He possesses the gift of
/ carrying peoples thoughts with MIN to
/ the distant lands he is portraying and
/ IS brimtul of facts anecdotes and rem
iniscenses that go to make most inter
estlng lecture.
The lecture Is under the auspices of
the Catholic Library Association. The
members of the association have disposed
OF a great number of tickets and there
is every probability that the audience
will be a good one. The lecture is Illus
trated by colored stereopticon lights.
The ladies Of the ST. Johns Rectory So
ciety have made considerable prepara-
ton for the enjoyment OF those who at
tend the Puritan Merrie Making tonight
| They have gotten up a very varied pro-
gramme, consisting of old love songs, min
uet dances, fortune telling by an old
witch and numerous other fun-making
amusements. They will also serve re-
freshments-old cider crullers, coffee ice
cream, pumpkin pies, cakes and other
| dainties, and this portion for a very
small consideration After the regular
programme there viii be dancing until !
o'clock to the music of Rosenfeld's fun
dictatorship. There is no question that
pleasant time is in store for all who
attend.
Tomorrow night Hon. Henry Watterson
will lecture before the Savannah Lyceum
on Money and Morals. The lecture is said
to be Mr.. Watterson's best effort. 1t is not
a new lecture, but 1t is always heard with
! interest. Mr.. Watterson IS a strong writer
and he speaks as effectively as he writes,
and IS familiar and popular personality
on the hastings and in the lecture room.
He ranks among the first of American or
ators his fame in this regard having
reached its elimination in the address de-
| livered by him on the occasion of the ded
cation of the Columbian exposition, where
NNaQnCEY lRDGW,
peared as the official spokesman of the
government. He is an LII. d. of the Uni
Versity of the South, the editor of volume
of provincial humor entitled The Oddi-
ties of Southern Life" and the author of
innumerable tracts and pamphlets upon
political and economic subjects But Mr..
/ Watterson needs no Introduction to a Sa-
vannah audience. His lecture on Money
and Morals" is full of light and shade,
humor and pathos, rhetoric and opulence
of thought, q masterpiece in short, of all
Friday night Gorton's Minstrels will be
at the theater. The company is a new one
TO Savannah theater-goers, but is said to
be an excellent one.
Friends" by Edwin Milton Rovle and
Salient Fetter and their capable company
will be the attraction Saturday matinee
and night. 1t is not often that a modern
dramatic production is complimented by
four successful seasons. MIR. Royle's
play is one, and that it has been We'll
patroniZed by brilliant audiences over a
thousand times is a sufficient Endorsement
of it, Friends" is a remarkably inter
esting play; clean, wholesome and free
from anything that would offend the most
fastidiOus taste, and it is made brilliant
with witty dialogue. laughable and sur
prising situations, as well as a deep vein
of pathos. Those who have witnessed it
viii remember the very charming story
1t tells.
]. W. Mckinney, business manager of
the Hopper Opera Company, well known
throughout the south, was in the city
yesterday. Mr.. Mckinney says that the
Hopper organization this season is the
largest, best and most complete the com
edian has yet had, and also that it is
one of the most expensive on the road
The company, which includes a goodIy
number Of funny comedians. sweet sing
orS and pretty girls, travels almost ex-
clusively in its own special train. DIR.
SyntaX," that melange of mirth and mel
ody, is the only opera in which Hopper
appears this season, and which will he
presented in this city for the first time
next Monday evening.
