Negroes Say They Got,Part In Money
and Part in Promises.


A large crowd of negro laborers remain
ed for a long while yesterday afternoon
at Bull and Bryan streets, while their rep
resentative was up stairs to secure the
legal services of Mr.. George w. owens,
in the collection of wages they claimed
were due them by Mr.. S. N. Hale.
According to the negroes statements
they began work last Monday week for Mr..
Hale on a contract he had for the Subur-
ban and West End street railroad, and
for their labor they were to be paid by a
varying scale of prices on Saturday night.
They say that on Saturday night they re-
ceived only small part of their time"
the rest being promised them on Monday.
But when Monday came, the money, they
say, did not come with 1t.
There were about forty of the men gath
cred in front of Mr.. Owens office, and all
were brought in, in turn for examination.
1t Is claimed the amount due them aggre-
gates about 500, and they have secured the
services of Mr.. owens to see If they can
get it.

MIR. BEAUCHAMP ON TEMPERANCE.
The Lecturer Delighted a Large
Audience Last Night.

u
Audience Last Night.
Mr.. Lou J. Beaucham delivered the
second of the series of his lectures in Sa-
vannah last night at the Baptist church.
Mr.. Beauchamp possesses a charm as a
speaker that should serve to draw the peo-
pie Of the city in greater numbers to hear
his very fine lectures. His natural grace
and oratorical ability lend greatly to the
efficacy of many subtitle arguments he
adduces on the liquor question. and the
more serious part of his addresses never
begin to tire, for their frequent intersper-
sion with good stories, recounted in an
inimitable style, and flashes Of very evil
gently spontaneous wit serve to remove
all chance Of the audience becoming
wearied.
The pathos and feeling of some of his
word paintings appeal to his hearers and
he has, in equal measure with his ability
to amuse, the power to make one grow
thoughtful.
Mr.. Beauchamp's lecture last night was
along the line of temperance and was
greatly enjoyed. 1t was noticed that his
audience of last night was composed large
ly of those in attendance at his first lee
ture, they being impelled to come the sec
ond time.
Mr.. Beauchamp will lecture again to-
night at S:l5 o'clock at the Baptist
church. No admission fee is charged A
collection is taken up at each meeting for
the benefit of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, and for the purpose
OF meeting expenses. The ladies' of the
union hope Mr.. Beauchamp will be given
the audience his eminent talents as a lee
turer Justify.

Up to that time Mr.. Osborne's opponents
had believed that his strength was due TO
the support of Col. Russell, but they now
began to realize that he possessed quail
ties of leadership.
He was president of the Citizens Club
In the last mayoralty campaign.
Mr.. Osborne's recent election as sohc-
itor demonstrates his ability to make and
hold friends
Mr.. Osborne is not a brilliant orator, but
he Is a clear and forceful speaker, and
understands how to present an array OF
facts in strong manner. This faculty
will be of great advantage to MIN IN Iul-
filling his duties as solicitor.
Mr. Osborne's career in this ofhce VIII
be closely watched by both friends and
enemies, and If his record sustains the
close scrutiny to which it will be sub
jected 1t will be a very creditable one. -~'-
Some very amusing stories are being
told, apropos of the solicitor generalshlp
race. An especially laughable one is told
of Mr.. Fraser, who on Wednesday AFTER
noon, walked up to a gentleman he thought
was Representative McGhee, in the lobby
of the Kimbail house. Mr.. Fraser, so the
story goes, introduced himself, calling the
supposed representative by NAME and be-
fore the astonished party had time to ex-
plain himself, Mr.. Fraser invited him TO
go up stairs to headquarters. MI. fdseE
had him by the arm, and the two started
up the steps together, when Mr.. waiter
G. Hartridge called to him.
Look here, Fraser" he said, what are
you doing with Lofton?'
why that's not Lotion" the now as
tonished candidate for solicitor replied.
But l tell you it is Lotion" said Mr..
Hartridge
Wei I'll Just bet you IS 1t isn't" said
Mr.. Fraser, Its Representative McGhee.
Just then some of Mr.. Fraser's other
friends came up and took In the situation
in part. One of them called Supt. Lotion
over where they were standing, and said:
Hello Lotion when did you come up?'
20 got here last night" was the reply.
and Mr.. Fraser very heartily accepted the
verdict though it was against the state.
Chairman D. B. Lester of the democratic
executive committee of the First con-
gressional district, has just taken look
over the ground and expresses the most
sanguine views. He said yesterday:
81 have just returned from Bulloch
county and have heard from all the coun-
ties in this district 1 find all the demo
Gratis hard at work, determined to give
Col. Lester a rousing majority. He Is
going to get many votes from the popu-
lists, and not few of the colored people
openly express themselves as Col. Lester s
| friends. If Chatham county will only
do her duty, our congressman will go In
by larger majority than ever"

MUSIC AND ATHLETICS.
An Interesting Evening at the Y. NJ.

CA.
The programme last night at the Young
Mems Christian Association proved very
enjoyable one. Especially entertaining
was the prelude by Profs. Sunier and Sin
gleton Of New York, who played delight
fully on the meloharp. ocarina, and har-
monica. The opening duet for two melo-
harps was particularly pleasing, as was
also the ocarina and meloharp duet. DR..
Finnerty of New York. who happened to
be in the audience, favored them with
two solos, which were heartily encored.
He was accompanied by the meloharp.
The meloharp is a remarkably sweet in
strument, resembling somewhat the auto
harp, but having many advantages over 1t.
The game of indoor base ball that follow
ed was hardly as well played as usual,
nor was it closely contested, as the Reds
seemed to have a walk over from the
start, winning by a score of 25 to 10. The
best playing was done by Darlington and
Harden. The score by innings was'
Whites ............2 0 0 0-1O
Reds ................l D 10
The players were:
White-Harden, c; Dwelle, 1b; Wolf 3b;
Sullivan, 2b; Sweat, RS; Lowell Is; Beard,

The original Irish comedians, Murray
Mack, will be the attraction at the
theater this afternoon and tonight. They
are appearing this season in their latest
success Finnegans Courtship. Their
parts are even more congenial than ever.
there are few more deservedly popular
comedians than Murray & Mack. Their
humor is of that spontaneous order which
is almost irresistible and which never
rails to provoke hearty laughter. One
OF the secrets of their success is origin
atty. Their work is surrounded by an
atmosphere of newness and creativeness-
that in these days of song, situation and
playing piracy is positively refreshing.
murray d Mack were among the first
to star in farce comedy and
are about all that is left
of the many good farcial organizations
that created such a furore a few years
ago. They play special matinee this
afternoon, and will undoubtedly be greet
ed by large audience.

night Advance notices of the show gave
promise of an entertainment rather above
the ordinary, and the large audience in
attendance was not disappointed. 1t Is

Notwithstanding there are still certain
sharp corners in it which he will work
down smooth before the season is much
older. Reed is a comedian from the tips
of his toes to the bridge of his charac-
teristic nose, and all theater-goers know
1t; hence there is no necessity for saying
that his humor was immensely enjoyed.
Miss Rush is as "stunningly beautiful as

better quit trying it. 1t would be better

There are very few people in Savannah
who do not know Mr.. Osborne. Although
born in South Carolina he came here when
quite young, was educated at the public
schools of Savannah, graduated from the
high school and completed his education
when he graduated from the state univer-
sity in 1886 He read law in the Offices
of Denmark. Adams & Adams, and with
duBignon & Fraser.
1t is remarkable that the latter office
should have turned out three solicitor gem
erals in succession. First Mr.. duBignon,
succeeded by Mr.. Fraser who Is now sue
ceeded by Mr.. Osborne.
MIR. Osborne's political career has been
a quite successful one for a young man.
When he was named as candidate for
the legislature in 1892 few people regarded
him as a strong candidate. His election
was attributed to the support OF Col.
Waring Russell, which undoubtedly had a
great deal to do with it. In conjunction
with his colleagues, the late ]. ]. Doolan
and Mr.. T. ID. Rockwell, some radical
changes in the registration and election
laws Of the city and county were under
taken and carried out by him.
The local campaign OF 1894 was one OF
the hottest Chatham county has ever
known. The Citizens Club had been or
gained. composed chiefly Of the Russell
element, with Mr.. Osborne as president.
He was nominated for senator and elect
ed, together with his legislative ticket.

no right, by its dctum. to regulate W
style of a mans clothes. Ever since |
could afford it have dressed just as 7

the same style of broad shirt front and
broad black felt hat. | wear these
clothes regardless of the dav of the week

on in the morning or evening. or at noon.

me that the society rule which attempts
to regulate Il mans dress is autocratic
The rule Of prescribing dress originated

We arc simply initiating these old arts

society because he does not dress in
the fashion. If man showed more indie
pendence in the matter OF dress they
would soon be able to break over the
