BETHEsDA's HISTORIC OAK.
A Gavel Made From Its Wood for the
Daughters of the Revolution.

At the request of Mrs. T. F. Morgan,
state regent of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, Col. ]. H. Estill,
president of the Union Society, has had
piece of a limb of the whitfield Oak"
at Bethesda, cut off, out of which Mrs.
Morgan proposes to have made a gavel
for the use of the presiding officer of
the society which she represents.
The tradition is that Rev. George Whit
field preached under the live oak during
his ministrations at Bethesda. The age
of the tree warrants the assumption that
it was of goodly size in Whitfelds day,
and it is very probable that he often
passed under it, if he did not use it as
a tabernacle.
The tree stands a little north of west
of the present orphanage, at the edge of
a small creek that bounds the grounds
on that side. Years ago the remains of
an old bridge were to be seen near the
live oak, showing that in the early days
of the history of Bethesda a road to the
orphanage house crossed the creek at
that point.
Bethesda, owing to its healthfur loca-
ton, was the camping ground of American
and British soldiers, and confederate and
federal soldiers, and its older trees have
sheltered its friends and its foes alike.

IRVING CHANGES PLAY AND PRICE
To Give Nance OIdGeId" and 'sThe
Bells" Instead of "Merchant of
Venice"

Bells" Instead of Merchant OF
Venice"
Disappointment may be felt by some
who have purchased seats for the Irving
Terry engagement because of the change
of bill from The Merchant of Venice"
to Nance OldfieId" and The Bells" In
deed, they have so expressed themselves
and requested the Morning News to urge
the management to put on some play IN
which Irving and Miss Terry appear to-
gether
District Manager Michael of the Green
wall Theatrical Company was seen by
the Morning News last night. He said
that is utterly impossible to make another
change-that the change from ''The Mer
chant of Venice" was at the earnest re-
quest of very large number of theater-
goers. In no other city in the southern
tour had a change been made. He said
further that The Bells" is the strongest
play in which Irving appears-that it is
his prize play, and that in Nance Old
field" Miss Terry appears to better advan-
tage than in any other
Mr.. Michael was wired by the local
management of the theater to come to Sa-
vannah and conduct the correspondence
representatives in regard to the change
of plays which he has done. He has also
arranged with Mr.. Irvings representa-
tives for reduction in the prices from
row M to row IS" both inclusive in
the parquette, to 50; the first three rows
in the balcony to So, the remaining rows
to 81. The prices for the boxes and seats
in the parquette, from row IA to row
L." both inclusive, will remain as at
present advertised. The gallery admis-
sion will be ST. and the general admission
to all parts of the house will also be 81.
In view of the fact that many people will
patronize the gallery at this entertain
ment the management will place on sale,
tomorrow morning, gallery tickets with
out reservation, in order to prevent the
rush at the box Office the evening of the
performance. Parties purchasing gallery
tickets will be treated on the order of
first come first served in reference to
seats.
Purchasers of tickets for 81 down stairs,
and 81 and SO in the balcony can call at
the box office, presenting their tickets
and the 81 difference will be refunded to
them.
Manager Michael received a telegram
last night from Mr.. Irving's representa-
tive at Washington saying that Irving

Mr.. Irving was entertained by the Vice
President the British ambassador and by
the speaker of the House of Representa-

recipients of invitations who can do so
will be present at the session.
Immediately at the conclusion of the
regular lodge business, the social session
will be convened Mr.. w. w. Starr will
preside as chairman.
Arrangements are being made for a rep

uUssARs AT A SILVER WEDDING.
The Guests of MIR. and Mrs. Horace
Remshart.


The Georgia Hussars were entertained
last night by Veteran Member G. H.
Remshapt, at his residence on Jones
street, near Whitaker.
After the parade in the afternoon Capt
Gordon announced that the troop would
assemble again at o'clock for the purpose
OF calling upon Veteran Remshart at his
invitation. No explanation or any special
reason for the invitation was given, but
the members knew that there was pleas
ant occasion in prospect and there was a
large assembly of the troop. The troop
ers were given a very hearty reception by
Veteran Remshart, and were invited to
a handsome collation..
Capt Gordon was as much i'm the dark
as anyone else as to the particular reason
for this extension of hospitality by Vet
Gran Remshart and when called upon he
laid it to the fact, as he supposed. that
Mr.. Remshart desired to celebrate the
twenty-fourth anniversary of his connec-
ton with the troop. After praising Vet
eran Remshart's record as a member Of
me command and giving him unqualified
endorsement of the spread set by the
hostess, Capt. Gordon called upon the
most Tor explanations.
Mr.. Remshart cleared the mystery by
stating that the occasion was not only
the anniversary of the birth of Gen. Lee.
but the twenty-fifth anniversary of his
own marriage, and IL was to celebrate this
that he invited his second love. the Hus-
sars, to partake of his hospitality He
said that he Joined the Hussars July 9.
lSiZ, and had been an active member ever
since.
Col. Gordon, who was called upon for
a speech, said that the occasion was an
OBJECT lesson for all young citizens OF
savannah. Mr. Remshart had married
IN 1861 and Joined the Hussars in 1862. The
moral was that all young men should eet
married and join the Hussars. The
strength of the troop, Col Gordon said.
had always been in the interest and en-
thusiasm shown by the veteran mem
bers He spoke highly of Veteran Rems-
harts record. No one man, he said who
without hope of reward, without fear or
desire of promotion had done more for
the troop than Horace Remshart He
had been faithful under all times and
circumstances. While Private Remshart
had not been winning many prizes lately.
Col. Gordon said, there was no better
sabreur in the regiment, and none who
would handle his saber to as good an
advantage in case of war between the
United States and the next greatest coun-
try on earth, Great Britain.
Maj. p w. Meldrim also paid a high
tribute to Veteran Remshart whom he
said he had known for more than a score
of years, and whom he had always found
a quiet, modest gentleman, doing his fun
duty at all times and under all circum-
stances.
Lieut.. Minis also spoke highly of his
comradeship with Veteran Remshart and
Lieut.. McAlpin and others followed on
casions of this kind in which the Hus-
sars have participated, there have been
none pleasanter than the evening spent
with Veteran Member Remshart.
