Speakers on the Occasion of the So
ciety's 147th Anniversary.
Invitations to the Nth annual dinner of
the st. Andrews Society were sent out
yesterday. This dinner will take place
next Tuesday evening in the banquet hall
of the De Soto hotel, and will be largely
attended by the members and guests of
the society. The invitations are as hand
some as have ever been sent out by the
stewards and committee, bearing at the
top in embossed work the Scotch thistle
beneath the crown.
The committee has made preparations
for the dinner on this occasion with ex-
ceeding care, and it may be said by way
of emphasis that the hit Scotch will con-
tain the finest old Scotch whisky obtaina-
bic, and the haggis will contain a good
many things that have not heretofore
been put into it.
The committee has exercised much care
in the selection of speakers, and has de-
parted somewhat this year from the usual
line. Those who have been selected to re-
spond to the toasts of the evening will be
recognized at once as artists in this line.
and ii will be seen that a treat is assured

attend The responses will be made by
Judge Robert FalligantS-Hon. Walter G.
Charlton, Gen. 2. McGlashan, Col A.

cinity of the wharves where the U s. tor
a number of vessels was suspended, and
the stevedores were allowed to go home
to eat Thanksgiving dinners with their
families
The observance of the national holiday
| on board ship was not very demonstra-
tive. The majority of vessels in port are
of foreign nationality, and Jack was not
treated to anything unusual for his din
ner. The masters of the vessels, however,
were among their friends in the city, and
partook of the hospitality Of the hotels
and restaurants.
There was one scene enacted on board
an American vessels in port, which was
almost pathetic in it's demonstration. The
schooner Roger Moore, which was dis
masted off Tybee last week, and was sub
sequently towed here to discharge her car
go of pyrites, was the theater on whose
boards two faithful actors partook of their
Thanksgiving dinner, solitary and alone
They were the first officer and the cook
of the vessel. Other members of the crew
were thankful that they had reached land
safely after their terrible experience at
sea, and had deserted upon arriving here
The mate and steward have been busy
since the vessel arrived, trying to rear
range the disturbed state of cabin and
decks.
The large turkey gobbler, which Capt
Miller had provided for THANKSGIVING din
ner, before the vessel sailed from Whining
ton, had been knocked overheard, by a
falling mast on the memorable night of
Nov. 49, AS the big fowl had been without
cracked corn for two days, and had filled
his craw with pyrites, he sunk to the bot
tom of the sea, and missed the pleasure of
furnishing the crew of the Roger Moore
with a Thanksgiving dinner.
The menu on board the good ship was
not very elaborate, consisting only of a
sumptuous supply Of SAT- horse" cab
bage and potatoes, with a few scraps of
moulded ship bread, but the two hard
working seamen who partook of that re-
past at noon were as thankful for the
blessings that they had received during
their recent trials as those who enjoyed
their fat turkey and cranberry sauce,
washed down with fine wines, and having
no thought or care for poor Jack in his
humble position, on land or on the rolling
deep.

CADETS AT THE TARGET.
Crack Scores Made in the COmpany's
Annual Contests at AvOndaIe

contests at AVOndRIe.
The Savannah Cadets were the only
military which observed the day. Capt.
Brooks took the company out to Avon
dale range and the morning was spent
in rifle shooting. 1t was the company's
annual prize contest. The weather was
threatening, but except for a slight
sprinkle early in the morning, the rain
held off until the contests were over The
company turned out forty-one officers and
men. 1t assembled at the armory at 8
O'Clock, and by 8 o'clock was at the
ranges.
There was puffy wind from the north,
which made the shooting difficult, but in
spite of that, some excellent scores were
made. The company was divided accord
ing to the classes in the state record
shoot. The first class, comprised the
sharpShOoters and marksmen. The second
class in the state record constituted the
second class, and the second and third
class record men made up the third class
The shooting was at 200, 300, 500 and 600
yards, five shots at the 200, 300 and 600
yards ranges, and ten shots at 500 yards.
No coaching was allowed, and the men
had to use their best judgment as to the
wind.
Besides the company contests there was
the commissioned officers revolver con-
test, five shots at thirty yards and five
shots at fifty yards.
In the company contest the medal wss
won by Corpl. A. j. Thorpe, on a score
of 1903 out of a possible 125 The second
honor was carried off by Corpl G. H.
Richter on q score of 1902; the third by
Private S. x. Ward, on a score of 10l
and the fourth by Private Fl. J. Sutcliffe
on a score of 100, there being but one point
difference in the scores of the winners.
The company medal was held last year
by Private Fetzer, who was, however,
not in the contest this year.
The officers medal was won by Capt
Brooks.
The leading scores at the various ranges
were as follows:

about twenty contestants, was won Dy

The men shot with new guns and in a
puffy wind With these f1andicaps, how
ever, the shooting was excellent.

the company in front of the 5OO-yard range

A DAY OF GLAD THANKSGIVING.
SAVANNAHIANs OBSERVE 1T IN
MANY WAYS.

Business Suspended and People Gave
Themselves Up to the HOliday-The
Church Congregations Larger
Than Ever KnOwn-The Poor Cen
erOusIy Remembered and the
Charitable Institutions Held Many
Happy Hearts-The Day Among the
Sailors.
Thanksgiving was observed yesterday
in much the usual manner. There were
one or two phases of the day, as it has
been known in the past that were not
evident, but in most particulars it was
easily recognizable.
Throughout the day there was a practi-
cal suspension of business. A few of the
business houses were open during the
morning, but nearly all of them closed in
the afternoon. This was also true of the
railroad offices. Most of the departments
gave their employees the entire day, while
the others, owing to the stress of work,
held them until the noon hour. The up
town ticket offices were closed up at about
l O'Clock.
All of the schools of the city were closed.
Inc chAuren enjoyed their holiday in many
ways. The banks and government offices
were closed the entire day. At the post.
office the usual hours for Sundays were
observed.
None of the outdoor sports that are
usually to be witnessed on Thanksgiving
were held 1t was thought that there
would probably be bicycle races, as this
is a form of entertainment that had been
found very successful in drawing crowds.
Many Savannahians went off on
hunting trips. Most of the
jaunts were to distant points
as there is such a paucity of game in the
vicinity of Savannah. The sportsmen
mostly went away for their trips on
Wednesdays nights trains and early yes
terday morning.

CONTRACTORS READY TO SIGN.
Drainage Contract Likely to BE Fix
ed Up This Week.


The drainage committee will probably
close the contract for the house drainage
system within the next day or two. The
contractors are here and ready to sign
it as soon as the details as to the manner
of payment for the work are decided by
the committee.
The attention of Mr. Joseph e. Bryan,
who heads the successful contracting firm
was called yesterday to the reports of the
proposed formation of a trust of all the
sewer pipe factories in the country under
the direction of j. p. Morgan & Co. of
New York Mr.. Bryan said he knew moth
ing of the matter, beyond what he had
seen in the Morning News. Any way he
said, the formation of trust would not
affect the work here, as the contractors
have already secured figures on sewer
pipe, and the deal Is practically closed.
The announcement of the formation of
a sewer pipe trust coming just at
this time after the circumstances
attending the Savannah bidding is of in
terest Only one representative of a north
ern pipe company was on the field, not
withstanding one of the biggest contracts
of the season was Offering, and it was
freely charged that the Ohio river pipe
companies, to which the competition was
limited were organized in a trust. If the
trust has been organized the movement
must have been on foot for some time, and
the deal was doubtless in effect at the
time the house drainage contract was let
The specifications which were prepared
by Col. Warning for the work at Jackson
vile about two years ago, also provided
for Ohio river pipe only These specifica-
lions were changed by the board in charge
of the work, and the Montague pipe of
Chattanooga was used. This pipe is re-
ported to have given every satisfaction so
far. Morgan & Co. deny any knowledge
of a trust, and say that their only infor-
nation of it Is from the newspapers.

THE DAY WITH THE POOR.
Many Hearts Made Glad by Kind
Remembrance.

A Thanksgiving lunch was served in
the Sunday school rooms of the Trinity
Methodist church yesterday to the poor of
the city, by Circle No. 8, Kings Daugh-
tiers. 1t is estimated that over 100 per-
sons were served.
The matter of serving the dinner oc-
Cured to the Kings Daughters some time
ago, and ample preparations had been
made by arranging an enticing feast.
Those who were on hand partook of the
dinner with much relish and many hearts
were gladdened by the generous good of
those having the occasion in hand. Such
acts of charity will not be forgotten by
The "IJlder Brother" who says:
"Inasmuch as we have done il to the
least of these, my brethren, We have done
II unto Me"
At the free kindergarten the little ones
were given a glad Thanksgiving and many
little hearts were made happy.
At the hospitals the charity inmates were
remembered, and at the asylums the poor
had cause for thankfulness for the gifts
they received. In all of the public insti-
buttons there was some observance of the
day. The churches looked after the poor
of their congregations and all through the
city Thanksgiving was observed in its true
spirit.

TWO VIEWS OF THE LAW.
Proposition to Have Judges and So
IicitOrs Chosen by the People.

Proposition to Have Judges and So
IicitOrs Chosen by the People.
Considerable interest has been manifest
ed in Savannah in the proposition to have
judges of the superior courts and solicit
tors general elected by the people, in
stead of by the legislature, as under the
present law.
Two Views are taken of the question,
however, and it would be a hard matter
to say just what is the sentiment of the
majority of the people. Some think the
law should be changed and that these Of
ficials should be elected by the people, on
the idea that the political slate business
has now become, in many instances, a
nuisance. 1t is believed that in many
cases election by the people would do
away with much political schembng.
On the other hand, some say the people
elect their representatives, and should be
satisfied to trust to them the selection OF
such officers. They think the people have
enough officers to vote for now, and are
satisfied to let the law stand as it Is.
Perhaps, If anything. the preponderance OF
opinion is in favor of the proposed change
and the election of these officers by the
people. The people of Chatham county
however, are not worrying themselves
much over the matter, because in any
event, they believe they will always have
able and capable officials.

OFEENDERS ISST OTTE 1cu
Recorder Hartridge in a Thanksgiv-
ing Mood.

Recorder Hartridge was in charge of the
police court yesterday, but did not remain
long, there being very few cases to dis
pose of. The recorder desired to have the
day to himself, and Clerk Bailey had ar
ranged for fishing expedition.
In view of the day being one of thanks,
the recorder dealt as lightly as possible
with the offenders. George Gibbons, col
ored, charged with drunkenness and ly-
ing in a yard on Whitaker street, was
released, for which he gave thanks Tom
and viii Walker. two aged negroes
charged with fighting, were also up for
examination. William was released and
gave thanks; but Tom was found guilty
and gave 50. Halle Holmes and Henry
Bailey were sent to the city court for lar
ceny.
Notwithstanding the holiday, Chief Nc
Dermott was at his post, and did not
leave the barracks except at meal time
Some of the policemen were off, however
and enjoyed themselves with their fami-
lies.
