TO MEET THIS AFTERNOON.
The Freight Bureau to Consider Inn
pOrtant Business.

The adjourned annual meeting of the
subscribers to the Savannah Bureau Of
Freight and Transportation, was to have
been held last night in the offices of the
bureau, in the board of trade building, but
had to be postponed on account of the
fact that there was not quorum present.
The fact that there was not a larger at
tendance was due no doubt to the inclem-
ent weather. The meeting was adjourned
to this afternoon at O'Clock. at which
time 1t will certainly be held. Officers of
the bureau will be elected for the ensuing
year, and important matters viii be,
brought up for the consideration of the
meeting. A large attendance of the sub
scribers is especially desired.

has no sympathy with the yclept 'new

Bancker has made a close study of poll

ments. The conedienne is an optimist

She refuses to believe that the country is
destined to go to the "demnltion bow

the currency question in heated debate
in her presence recently. One lamented

Mr.. Frederic BrytOn's Company in
Forgiven Matinee and Night.
Mr. Frederic Bryton and his splendid
company will appear at the theater in
Forgiven at the matinee this afternoon
and again tonight. This is Mr. Bryton's
second appearance here this season, and
because Of the impression made early in
the season the sale of seats has been
phenomenal. He will undoubtedly be
greeted by crowded house.
Forgiven is one of those plays whose de-
lightful features linger with one long after
one has left the theater. You discuss it
at the cosy fireside. you dream of it, you
try to recall the telling language, and you
bring to your mind over and over again
the striking situations
Perhaps no play ever produced has
caught the fancy of the fair sex to such
an extent as Forgiven with Mr.. Frede-
ric BPyton, has. Albeit, it is suited to all
tastes and both sexes, it is pre-eminently
play that attracts femininity Mr.. Bry-
ton Is handsome, manly, and withal such
a clever artist, that he carries his lady
auditors with him from the first scene
to the very end.

THE COHEN co.
RADICAL CHANGE PROPOSED.
Scheme TO lie Submitted to the Chi
cngo stock Exchange.

CHICAGO. December 9.-The Cover
nors of the Chicago Stock Exchange
have been apprised that a proposition
will be submitted to them that seeks to
make a radical change in the system Of
trading. II has been noticed that there
is very little account trading. The rea-
son is that the wealthy members Of the
board are opposed to dealing in futures
within the restrictions prescribed by the
present rules.
The scheme is this: Buyers and
sellers viii sign contracts for all trades
not made regular" or cash; that is
to say. Mathews agrees to deliver TO
Rosenheim fifty shares OF West Chicago
in thirty or sixty days. Mathews signs
a compact to this effect. He cannot buy
Of Jones, and thus substitute the latter
for himself. Mathews must az the end
OF the month deliver the shares 10
Rosenhelm. Every member Will know
with whom he is doing business.
The plan stipulates that no contracts
are to bear interest. 1t is also agreed
that either party may call for margins
at any time. The scheme will not be laid
before the Governing Board until the
supposed defect in the clause relating to
margins is remedied.

TURNING TO ELECTRICITY.
Boston Lines May Change Motive
Power.

BOSTON, December 9.-The plans of
the Boston Terminal Company, which is
constructing the new union station. con-
template a new departure in railroading
These plans provide for the joint hand
ling of electric and steam traffic.
In some respects the new station may
be considered as being an electric road
station. for IL will provide for the hand
ling of the suburban traffic south of Bos-
ton, amounting 10 hundreds of millions of
passengers annually. by means OF cleo
trio trains.
The use of electricity on the Nantasket
Branch OF the New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad was simply an en-
tering wedge. The system has so COM
pletely demonstrated its efficiency that
next year the Dedham Branch will be
equipped with the third rail system. and
by the time the new station is completed
IL Is expected that the entire suburban
business of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford will be handled by electric
trains. the company being able TO run
greater number OF trains with less power
than Is required under the present syS-
TEN.
At present only the general outlines of
the scheme for the extension Of the
electric service and its use in connection
with the new union station are complete.
But the officers of the New York, New
Haven and Hartford are not only con-
fdent OF the success OF electricity as
motive power for suburban trains. but
look forward with some confidence to
the ultimate extension OF the electric ser
vice 10 the through trains,
The New England and Old Colony roads
will have the same station facilities al
their disposal and while the New England
has not considered the matter seriously
some OF its officers expect 10 see that road

new plans for the station provide. and
use the third rail- system on the New
