PATRIOTS ON ROLLERS,

Attractive spectacle ut the Rink for the
Benefit of the Old Soldiers.
The patriotic pageant given at the
Rock Island rink last night for the
benefit of the old soldiers OF the city
attracted large crowd of people,
and was q successi n every particu.
lar. The spacious hall was decor
ated prettily In the national colors,
while each one in the audience, as
we'll as the skaters, carried little
flags, which were provided at the en-.
trance by the management. The
Standard band, stationed at the
northwest corner of the hall, dis.
coursed music appropriate to the oc-
casion. which had an air of patriotism
throughout. The characters repre-
sented were as a whole very good,
some the uniforms being decidedly
striking and true to the man whose
figure it was sought to impersonate.
The characters entered the rink
from the west end of the building
and were introduced by c. B. Mar
shall, the master of ceremonies.
The glee club, composed of Messrs.
S. j. Collins, Boydson, Sherwood
and Chiffon. sang "America," "Col-
umbia" and Illinois," the latter two
accompanying the appearance ol
Uncle Sam and Columbia and Gen.
Logan. Mrs. Minnie Ransom Barker
also gave an excellent rendition OF
'The Star Spangled Banner" When
all the characters had been intro.
duced. the grand march was taken
up, the ladies' falling in with their
gentlemen friends and affording a
very pretty scene. This was followed
by skating.

ATE LUNCH COUNTER PIE.
Boss PIatfs 20 Minute stop En- Route
TO ThOmasville.


Hon. Thomas c. Plat of New York was
in Savannah yesterday morning for the
brief space of twenty minutes. Mr.. Plat,
whose managerial and other qualities
have gained him the sobriQuet of Boss"
by which he is better known than his bap-
tismal name, has been in the south for
some two or three weeks. The place most
recently favored with his presence is Char
leston and it was from there he came into
Savannah on train No. So of the Plant sys-
TEN.
The boss of New York politics, the presi-
dent of the Adams Express Company, and
the generally regarded chief manipulation
of republican affairs, got off the train at
the Plant systems depot and refreshed
himself with some of the delicaCieS the
lunch counter offers to the travelling pub
lie.
He was bound for brownsville. Whether
there is any significance in his making for
that place or not is not known. That
thriving South Georgia town has got a
great deal of free advertising of late by
the visits, or heraided visits of those away
up at the top of republican politics. Some
two months ago Mark Hanna was going
to Townsville and President-elect Nc
kinney was coming down to make him a
visit. These celebrities have not vet ar
rived. Mr. Plat. however Is close to the
throne, and is himself a shining light that

a 500 FINE on TWELVE MONTHS.
II. r. Bennett Sentenced For Attemp-
ting to SvindIe MIR. Guckenheimer.


H. f. Bennett a young white man, who
endeavored to secure bill of goods from
Mr.. A. S. Guckenheimer the early part
of last month. through what have proven
to be false representations, pleaded guilty
to a misdemeanor before Judge T. NJ. Nor
wood in the city court yesterday, and
was sentenced to pay fine of 500 and
costs or spend twelve months on the
chain-gang.
Bennett represented himself to be the
bookkeeper and confidential man of a large
lumber firm in Florida. and it appears
that he was at one time connected with
such a firm. and had charge of the sup
plies for the commissary, ordering and
paying for them. In payment for a bill
of goods which he ordered at the time
stated, he rendered a check on a Jackson
vile bank for $50.60. Mr.. Guckenheimer
had suspicious, and on telegraphiug found
out that the check was worthless. He
placed the matter in the hands of the po-
lice, and Bennett was caught at Way
cross and brought back to Savannah. The
goods, however, were not shipped, a Mr.
Guckenheimer discovered the fraud in
time
In endeavoring to exculpate himself in
some measure Bennett stated he was adj
check while under the influence of liquor,
but the court, as was evident from the
sentence. did not think that a good and
valid excuse.
Several other petty criminal cases were
disposed Of NJ. J. Fitzgerald was SEN
fenced to pay a fine of $40 or serve three
months on the chain-gang for larceny
from the house. Clara Bradley, for the
offense of simple larceny, was given a
sentence of $50 or six months, and Charles
Grant, who was adjudgcd guilty of gam
bling, was sentenced TO pay a fine of SO
and costs or serve six months on the
cbain-gang.

TRINITY LADIES ENTERTAIN.
A Delightful sOciabIe at the Sunday
School Room.

Sc0OOl ROOM
The February entertainment of the la
dies of Trinity church was given last night
in the Sunday school room.
These entertainments have the reputa-
ton of being always interesting, and that
of last night was far from injuring that
reputation. The ladies take turns in ar
ranging the programme. Their names
are recorded alpha betically, and divis-
ion is designated for each months enter
tainment.
The sociables are held the second Friday
of the month. and serve admirably the
purpose for which they were inaugurated.
They draw the congregation of the church
and its friends together, and invariably a
pleasant evening is spent in a social way.
Songs are sung, instrumental music is
rendered, Rotations and dialogues are
had, and in fact, nothing is left out that
might add to the enjoyment of those at
tending. Refreshments, too, are always
served. Under the excellent care of the
ladies this is feature of the entertain
mentS that deserves the Warmest COM
ment.
The programme last night was short
Its abDreviation was caused by the ill
ness OF several who had promised to take
