brought to Savannah by the association
has been of the highest order, and these
entertainments have proven very popular
The talent that has been engaged for this
winters course is considered by the COM
mtttee the very best that could be secur-
ed and represents months of correspond
ence with The leading lyceuh bureaus in
the country to obtain them.
The number of attractions, as has been
the case for the past few years, viii be
five, one each month, beginning with No
vember The opening number will be Nov

Company will make its first appearance
in Savannah. This company consists of
Mr.. and Mrs Kronberg. baritone and So

fessor of musical theory and lecturer on
musical history and criticism at the New

Feb. 10, Alexander Back, who gave such
universal pleasure last year will return
and give his picture pay "a Capital Court

The striking feature of "A Capital Court
ship" is the great beauty and variety of
its pictures, which touch high water
mark in Photographic technique and dra-
matte composition.
The Boston Ideal Banjo, Mandolin and
Guitar Club will be a fitting climax for the
course. This club will appear March g.
Each member has had a concert career of
not less than twelve years, and all have
had an experience, which gives them a
confidential and easy bearing on the stage,
not only reassuring to the audience but
agreeable as well. This organization has
appeared in the largest and most exclu-
sive star courses with the greatest sue
cess.
The entertainments will be given in the
Guards hail. and the prices of course
tickets will be to non-members, $3.50. and

SHOPS WILL BE REBUILT.
Central Carries No Insurance Vow
on Any of Its Property.

Vice President John n. Egan Of the
Central railroad ard General superintend-
ent T. D. Kline returned last night after
an absence Of several days in Macon, At
lanta and other points along the line
Mr.. Egan says he found that the losses
sustained by the road from the fire a Ma
con We're not so great as he had at first
expected. An investigation showed that
the walls of all the buildings. with the ex-
ception Of one, ina, had been burned, re-

hcIently good condition 10 admit Of taeir

shops aud store house.
He said he could not set an estimate
upon the amount OF the loss until the de-
bris has been cleared away. Workmen are
now engaged in doing mis- After the WofK

ed in the shops. This VII be OF the latest
pattern, and viii be a distinct improve
ment over that destroyed. the old ma

In the rebuilding a different distribu-
ton of the shops viii be made Tney

impossible to properly manage the fire.
The Encouragement will be with the posi-
biity of another fire and its better fight
ing in view TIE supply of water had
at the FIRE was inadequate. Mr.. Egan says.
He was assured by the authorities thai
provision would be made for an increase
of the flow. 1t is proposed to put on
larger main.
The people were rather concerned, for
fear the location of the shops would be
changed. An offer was made the road by
parties in Columbus of 100 acres of land
as a site for the erection of the new
buildings. 1t was deciIed, however, that
i. would not be good policy 10 make the
change. Atlanta wanted them also. The
present location is regarded as the best
on account of its being so well situated
for the repair work 10 be brought in.
There are seven of the Central's branches
centerng at Macon.
The loss Of the shops viii be borne by
the road. There was no insurance carried.
All the policies with the exceptions of
those covering the cotton in the ware
houses and the terminal property here,
were cancelled on Sept. l. The property
of the Ocean Steamship Company is also
uninsured with the exception of the poll
cies that are taken out on the cargoes.
The vessels are not covered. The two
companies carried a great deal Of insur-
ance on all Of their properties. The amount
ran away up high, and the premiums rep
resented large sums. After going care
fully over all the insurance accounts the
management decided that II would be good
policy to set aside the amount Of the pre-
miums each year They would go toward
the formation OF a sinking fund against
which would be charged all the losses.
The big fire at Macon came so soon after
the plan was put in operation that the
sinking fund did not have much time in
which to grow

THE CHARITIES MEETING.
Committee VIII Report and Plans Be
Outlined TO.nicht

There will be a meeting in the mayors
Office this evening at o'clock of the com
mittee heretofore appointed to form plan
for consolidating the charities Of the city.
The movement has met the hearty ap-
proval of all citizens, and the report of
the committee will doubtless have the eff
feet of giving Formally to the scheme of
consolidating.
Just. what plan the committee has de-
cided to suggest is not known, other than
that the idea of having a central place
for all applicants for help to visit strong
~ obtains among most of the members
Where aid is solicited by beggars on the
streets, they viii be referred to the head
quarters of the Associated Charities
which organization viii investigate the
case and lake the proper steps toward sun
plying relief, if it is thought the appii-
cant deserves 1t. The systematic carrv-
ing out of such plan is thought to be.
such as will solve the problem of taking
care OF the mendicants.
The meeting tonight will be attended
by two representatives. from each RELIC
ious or benevolent organization Of tho
city" in addition to the regular commit
tee on plans. This will likely insure fnu
discussion of such plans as may be pro-
posed.

DEATH OF JULIUS Il. BELL.
An Old Veteran Passes Away After a
Lingering Illness.


Mr.. Julius Bythewood Bell died at his
home No. IS Macon street, east, yesterday
morning shortly after % o'clock. He was
g years olo. Mr.. Bell had been suffering
from a complication Of diseases for some
time and It was not expected that he
would long survive.
The deceased was born in Beaufort, S.
c., where he lived until November, 1861,
when the town was evacuated by its
white inhabitants. the confederate batter
las at Port Royal. having been taken by
the federals. In January, 1862, he Joined
the Beaufort Volunteer Artillery, and
Served with it till March, 1865, when he
was badly wounded at the battle Of
Ayers bOro, where Hardee's little corps
turned on Sherman. and checked his ad-
vance for a day. When Johnston surren-
dered, Mr. Bell was still on crutches in
the hospital at Salisbury, and 1t was many
weeks before he was able to return 10 his
native state in search Of a home.
In the winter of 1865, he came TO Savan-
nah, aud entered the service Of Root q
Wilcox. wholesale grocers, as bookkeeper.
In September. 1866, ne accepted a position
in the forwarding department Of the Cen
tral railroad Of which department he soon
became chief clerk. a position which he
held, with marked ability and to the salts
faction Of his superiors, before and after
the forwarding agency was merged with
the Savannah freight agency. His health,
which had for some time been very poor,
gave way entirely in July 1895, and ne was
forced 20 give up his work, except at in
frequent intervals, when he thought he
was improving.
Friends and acquaintances, who We're
thrown into daily contact with Mr.. Bell,
were those by whom he was most esteem
ed and admired a man of the highest
ability. Of answering integrity, Of the keen
est sense of honor, the type of the south
ern gentleman of the Old school, he was
handicapped by an extremely retiring dis
position and excessive mOdesty of man
ner, and thus was for years occupying
subordinate positions, when such qualities
as his m ght have placed him in offices OF
higher trust and responsibility.
He leaves a widow, the elder daughter
Of the late Samuel Cochrahe Catherwood,
and eight children, three daughters and
five sons. The funeral will take place this
afternoon from the residence on Macon
street and the interment will be at Bona
venture

A CHINESE CLASS.
An Addition to the Independent
Presbyterian Sunday school.

Presbyterian Sunday school.
A Sunday school class, composed Of
Chinese, was organized at the Independ-
ent Presbyterian church yesterday after
noon.
The idea of organizing such a class had
been seriously considered for some time
past by DIR. Fair, together with the more
arduous members of the Sunday school
of that church, and it was arranged to put
the plan into effect at once. Seven China
men put in their appearance promptly at
4 o'clock and the class was formally or
ganized in the seasonal rooms of the
church. The class was organized i'm the
seasonal rooms at the request of the new
students, because they felt that they would
attract an undesirable curiosity in the
main rooms where Sunday school was be-
ing held at the time. They were some
what timid and requested that they be al
lowed TO remain to themselves, at least
for awhile.
DIR. Fair made them an interesting talk.
speaking OF Paups sermon on Mars nm
and concluding by repeating the Lords
prayer. the Cinnamon joining in concert
After this several appropriate selections
We're rendered by Mrs. May Silva. who
materially aided in organizing the class.
Chinese hymn books. primers and slate
pencils were provided the newcomers and
especial attention Will, for awhile, be di-
rected toward acquantng the Cinnamon
with the English language. When this is
done, they will be given regular spiritual
instruction
