THE Music CULTURE CONCERT.
Brilliant Success Of the Sherwood

II was considered worth s. or 81 10 at
tend the Irving-Terry show. then the sub
scrlbers TO the Music Culture Club course
should feel that they received in last
nights concert alone the full value of the
moderate seasonal subscription.
The concert was marked event in So
cial and musical circles. A company Of
real artists entertained an audience as
large and brilliant as they could wish, and
the auditors showed their appreciation by
enthusiastic recalls for every number.
The programme. while not heavy, was
well chosen:
Military march (Schubert-Taussig)
William II. Sherwood.
Quartette from "Rigoietto" CVerdD.
Misses Osborne, Crawford, Messrs- Han

Inc acceptable manner in which this
programme was executed Is ali the more
remarkable from the fact that railroad

every piano player in Savannah.
1t Is saying good deal, but the vocal
part OF the concert was in keeping with
Mr. SherWoods playing. AS already men
toned, every number was encored, and
MISS Osborne was compelled to respond
twice. Not only has she a lovely soprano
voice, well trained and full of sympathy
but her beauty and charming grace OF
manner quite captivated the audience.
Miss Crawford, Mr.. Hannah and Mr.. Der
rick all did well; the Rigoletto quartette
was beautifully sung, as was also the
laughing quartette given as an encore.
A fitting conclusion was the act, in cos
tune, from Faust Miss Osborne was
an ideal Marguerite, Miss Crawford a
versatile Siebel and Martha; Mr. Hannah
took very well the title role and Mr.. Der
rick made a very devilish Mephistopheles.
1t is very seldom that the theater has
four such good voices on it's stage at one
time. Surely Savannah should have an
opportunity TO hear them again before

Miss May Foster was a clever and con-
scientious accompanist to the singers.

THE NEW SCHOOL BUILDING.
Plans TO he Submitted to the school
board To-day.

The committee on school houses of the
board of education will meet at the office
of the superintendent to-day for the pur-
pose Of receiving tho bids with plans for
the new school building 10 be erected on
Anderson street. All bids must be in by
noon.
1t is understood that all the Savannah
architects will submit plans, and several
from other cities. Mr.. c. T. Goodrich, a
well-known architect of Augusta, is at
the De Soto and viii probably submit a
plan. NO bids had been received by Supt.
Baker when he was seen by a Morning
News reporter yesterday, the bidders as
usual, preferring to wait until the last
moment Mr.. G. l.. Norman of Atlanta,
whose plan for the building was at first
accepted by the board, is expected to be
a bidder.
II will be remembered that the board OF
education accepted Mr.. Norrman's plan for
the buflding without giving the home arch
fleets chance to bid on the work. Natu-
rally this created some comment. The
Savannah architects thought they had
been sighted, and said so. At the next
larger attendance than at the previous
meeting, the action of that meeting was
reversed, and the competition was thrown
open to all architects.
A Savannah architect said last night
that IL was doubtful If the Savannah arcn-
fleets had bettered themselves by having
the work thrown open to general competi-
ton, as the chances were very good for
some outsider to come in and secure the
contract. They could not complain at
this, however he said, as IL was perfectly
fair to all concerned.

THE MONEY PAID OVER.

What Thomas and Ryan Got From
the Receivers Under the order of
Court.
The transfer Of the cash assets OF the
Central in the hands of the receivers to
Messrs. Thomas and Ryan. as provided
under the order Of Judge Pardee. granted
last Monday, has taken place, though it
is understood there was or was to be some
effort made to prevent 1t. The efforts,
however, appear to have been of little
avail, as the money was turned over.
Receivers Conner and Hayes turned over
70 Messrs. Thomas and Ryan about $751;
OW cash. and as receivers Of the Mont
gomery and Eufaula they turned over S43,-
O0O. Receivers Conner and Lowry of the
savannah and Western turned over to
the purchasers about $751; 600. which makes
a total OF about $4,000 that was turned
over by the receivers to the purchasers
under the orders of Judge Pardee.
Inc $1,000 which was required to be
reserved in the registry of the court has
been paid over TO Clerk II. II. King, VINO
has deposited il to the credit of the regis
try. II is expected that the receivers will
make their final reports in a few days,
ana when they do they will stand dis
charged.

WILL OPPOSE THE BILL.
Alderman FaIIIEant Against Paying
tbs Solicitor General All at Once.

Alderman Falligant said yesterday that
he intends TO oppose the payment Of the
bill OF Solicitor General Fraser for $50 for
insolvent costs for the present year. which
has been presented TO the clerk Of coun-
Gil.
Il do not wish 20 be understood as max
ing any attack upon the solicitor gener-
al, said DR.. Falligant. He is a gentle
man whom l esteem highly. both as a man
and an official. My position simply is that
it is improper for the city to pay the full
amount appropriated for a years work at
the beginning Of the year. ! see no reason
why the city should pay its bills IN ad-
vance any more than any other institu-
ton. The fact that the charges for insol-
vent costs, according TO the fee system
amounted 10 $50 or more during January,
has nothing to DO with the case.
There is no stipulation" said DIT. fal-
ligant, that the city shall pay that
amount as soon as the bill for insOlVent
costs reaches that figure. The act requires
costs for the year. That Is intended TO
cover the whole years work. Naturally
business judgment would dictate that the
money should be paid as the work Is done.
There are four terms Of the court during
the year and the proper plan IN my opin-
ion would be TO pay one-quarter OF the
amount at the end Of each term OF the
court. That would be fair 10 the solicitor
and fair TO the city"
Il have no doubt" the alderman added,
that Solicitor General Fraser would con-
tinue 10 perform his duties in the city
court with as much regularity during the
remainder of the year as If he had not al
ready drawn the fun amount coming to
him for the years work, but that Is not
business. Suppose he should die or resign
before the year Is out. His successor would
have 10 perform these duties without com
peusatiOn. The best way TO correct unWise
practice Is to turn upon them the light or
public scrutiny. That is my position

EuEOPOULO FOUND NOT GUILTY.
Acquitted of Assuming Little Mary
Finley.


Finley.
Nicholas Eleopuolo. the Greek who was
charged with assault and battery on
Mary T.. Finley, was tried before Judge
Norwood and acquitted in the city court
yesterday. The case began when court
opened at 10 o'clock and continued until
after o'clock in the afternoon, when the
verdict of the jury was returned.
The case was an interesting one all the
way through. There were witnesses of
all nationalities on the stand. The Chin
aman, who runs the restaurant to which
the little girl was going. was one of the
witnesses; several of Eleopoulo's friends
We're put on the stand, and there was a
Roumanian and two or three Americans.
Eleopoulo was defended by Messrs. Mac
Donel 81 Gordon, Mr.. Gordon conducting
the case.
The girl stated that the defendant took
liberties with her person. The defendant
declared that she had come into his store
and bought five cents worth of candy.
He stated that she attempted to take an
other piece and he stopped her and this
he said, was all the assault and battery
that was committed. There was some
strong testimony against the defendant
on the part of some Of the witnesses for
the state.
Judge Norwood's charge was a very i'm
partial one, and the jury returned with a
verdict of not guilty after being out about
ten minutes.

TO STUDY ART AMONG ART.
The Art LenEue Granted the Use Of
the Telfair Gallery.

the TeIfntr Gallery.
AT the meeting OF the curators of the
Georgia Historical Society yesterday af-
ternoon held at the Telfair Academy of
Arts and Sciences, the petition of the la
dies, composing the recently formed art
league, was presented, asking for the
use of the art hall for the students COM
posing the league
The curators, who are also the board of
managers of the academy, granted the art
league the use of the art school and the
models in the building, at their own cost
which is to say they will be allowed to
use the gallery for school, and the pu-
pills VIII be permitted to make copies of
the pictures and models there at their
own expense, and under the instruction
of a teacher which they desire. They will
make report to this effect to the Geor-
meeting.
The ladies also asked that Mr.. Il. Hop
kinson Smith, who has kindly offered TO
deliver a lecture to the art league on the
subject of art. be allowed TO deliver this
lecture in the academy. Mr.. Smith re-
rounded by subjects of art where he could
better deliver the lecture that he desired
TO give. The curators decided that they
would permit the ladies to have the use
of the Georgia Historical Society's hall for
THIS purpose, but not the academy as that
jury to IL.
With regard TO the $500, which was raised
FOR the purchase of a picture, and which
the ladies' desire to devote to the purposes
of the Art League, the curators decided
that they had nothing to do with
it, This money Is deposited in
bank TO the credit OF the
director of the academy, Mr. Carl l.,

that they could extend no financial aid in
the matter of the Art League. A renort

Some Agreement Likely to BE

1t is believed that some agreement will

accomplished.
President John Shelton Williams of the
Georgia and Alabama is in the city, and

been reached, it is believed that every
thing will be settled within short time,

road will not build, at least for the pres
ent.
The Georgia and Alabama has had a
force of men at work near Lyons, for
the purpose, il is stated, of beginning the
construction on the new line, but no very
extensive movement in that direction has
yet been made. This prospective work is
considered to have been stopped because
