MISS MARsHALIs CONCERT.
A Brilliant Audience Delighted by
Fine Music.

The piano recital by Miss Florence E.
Marshall, under the auspices Of the Sa-
vannah Music Club last night, was at
tende by an audience which taxed the ca
pacity OF the drawing room of the De Soto.
1t Is not putting 1t too strong to say
that the concert was one of the most
brilliant and enjoyable that has been
heard here OF recent years, not even ex-
cepting those given by exclusively pro-
fessional artists. Miss Marshall played
the Chopin Variations, op. II; the two mid
die movements Of the lovely Beethoven
Sonata in E-hat, op. 81, No. 3; an Ellen
dance by SapellnilSon; Mendelssohn's
Spinning Song; the Reverie and an Etude
by Schutt and lastly the List Rhapsody,
No. u. She played brilliantly and well
and every number received generous ap-
plause. Perhaps she may have been
strongest in the Beethoven Allegretto and
the Rhapsody. The little Spinning Song
was 80 well received that Miss Marshall
had to respond with an encore, and she
played the Wagner-Liszt Spinning Song
Miss Marshall plays with power and un.
mistakable style. With the true artistic
ready attained, she gives promise Of a
hattering future
OF vocal numbers there were four, "Spirto
Gentil," from La Favorita, by Mr.. r. Guy
Ter Gordon; Bedouin song (Hawley), by
Mr.. Julian Walker; trio, '"Ti PreRo"
(Nicolao), by Mrs. Finnie, Mr.. Gordon
and Mr.. Walker and notably the great
sextet from Lucia, superbly sung by Mrs
Finnie, Mrs. Hunter, Mr.. Gordon, Mr.. Sy-
brandt Mr.. Blois and Mr. Walker. Sell
dom can that sextet be heard with better
effect on the operate stage. The en-
thusastic audience insisted upon it's repe-
tition. All the vocal pieces were warmly
received. Mr.. Walker had to respond to
an encore and gave Hawley's Once
Again" Throughout there was not a dull
or undressing number and the occasion
will long be remembered with pleasure by
those who were present.

CITY BREvTTIES.

The Independent and Parish Aid socie-
ties of st. PauPs Episcopal church will
give a basket picnic at Warsaw Tuesday,
June %. The steamer Alpha has been
chartered and will leave the city at
O'Clock in the morning, touching at Thun-
derbolt at 1870 o'clock. The steamer Do
retta will make trip from Thunderbolt
at $3.50 in the afternoon.
The first annual picnic of Savannah
Council NO. 1, order of American Firemen,
will be given at Warsaw Island, Tues
day, July 20. The date has been selected
especially on account of the tide with
view to making speedy trips to and from
as to make 1t convenient for
those who desire to leave Warsaw
before sunset. The order has a large mem
bership, there being a number of men,
bers outside the present fire department,
and an effort will be made to make the
excursion the largest of the season. The
proceeds Of the excursion will go to the
benevolent fund of the order.
An alteration between a colored woman
and her son at the corner of Whitaker and
Broughton streets last night amused a
number of people, who stopped to see the
outcome. 1t was gathered from the wo-
mans talk that the man owed her for a
weeks board. She had run across him
down town and demanded her money. Her
son was obdurate and would not pay. She
insisted and he doggedly persisted that he
would not pay her then, but next morning.
She wanted to go off on an excursion, a
pleasure dear to the eolored heart and said
she had to have the money. On his re-
fusing to pay up she caught him by the
coat and swung on like grim death, saying,
If he tried to get away, she would tear
all the clothes from his back. The ma
ternal threats seemed to find ready cred
ence in the fllial heart and he stood supine-
ly by though still suilenly refusing to pay.
Finally an officer came after the two had
been standing like that for half an hour.
The situation was explained by the wo-
man and the officer advised the man to
pay. After demurring a while he did so,
giving up $3.50. Away the woman went,
leaving her son to mediate over his
troubles. The ability of the woman as a
| collector caused much comment.

FINANCES OF THE SCHOOLS,
To BE Discussed by the Board of Ed
ucatiOn Tomorrow.

TO BE Discussed by the Board of Ed
ucatiOn Tomorrow.
The board of education will hold its June
meeting tomorrow night. and as the an
nual elections of teachers take place at
this meeting it will be of more than usual
interest.
The board held a special preliminary
meeting last week to take into considera-
ton its financial condition in order to es-
tablish a safe and economical basis for
action. The finance committee was di-
rected to prepare statement of the fnan-
cial condition of the board and to report
all the facts upon which a safe future pol
icy might be based. 1t is not known what
the report of this committee will be, but as
the committee is composed of some of the
best tinanciers and business men in the
city, II is safe to say that the policy out
lined will be a wise one.
The small appropriation made this year
by the grand jury for the support of the
schools is serious embarrassment to the
board, and some retrenchments in all
probability must be made.
1t has been suggested that music and
drawing be dropped and that the night
school be closed. Another line of retrench-
ment is the restoration of tuition fees in
the hlBn ScnOol. Ontll three or -FOUR years
ago a fee OF 50 per month was charged
for the high school. and it was upon the
recommendation of the grand Jury that
the school was made free. A reduction in
the salaries of teachers Is a last resort,
but 1t is believed that there is little dis
position on the part of the board to make
cut in this direction, and in all proba-
bility IL will not be necessary.
The board realizes that the salaries of
teachers are already low enough, and that
changes in salaries are likely to produce a
feeling of unrest and instability in the
minds of teachers that Is detrimental to
the best interest of the schools Savannah
is fortunate in having in its school some
Of the best teachers In the country, and
the board very naturally desires to pur-
sue a policy that will retain them.
l. At the meeting tomorrow the prlnci-
pals will appear as usual and give an ac-
/ count Of the various schools under their
charge. There is a good deal of work be-
/ fore the board, and as several Of it's men,
bers are out Of the city it may be neces-
sary TO adjourn to another day TO finish
/ up the business.

lie Sat Down on the Meat Inspector
Ordinance.

When the city council meets next We'd
nesday night It will have a veto to con-
front. Mayor Meldrim has declined to ap-
prove the ordinance creating a public in
spector of meats to be elected by the san
itary board. at a salary OF $500 a year. The
reasons for the veto win be given coun-
Gil by the mayor.
Mayor Meldrim is absent from the city
and his reasons for vetoing the ordinance
could not be ascertained. II is understood,
however. that the mayor regards the new
officer created by che ordinance as I'M
necessary. With a clerk and assistant
clerk Of the market, whose duties are TO
inspect the meat offered for sale there.
and six sanitary inspectors whose duties
are TO look after violations OF sanitary
rules generally, the mayor does not think
there ig any necessity for a public official
with specific duties Of this character. The
question Of economy probably enters into
the veto also.
