Preparations for the Bazaar.

Odd Fellows Committees Final
Preparations for the Bazaar.
A meeting of the committee, having in
charge the arrangements for the Odd Eel
lows bazaar, which is to begin Nov s, and
continue two weeks, was held at the hall
last. night.
The principal matter to be attended to
by the committee was the allotment of
space for the tables which the different
lodges are to have in the dining hall. There
are to be six tables, and the spaces, which
they are to occupy were represented by
numbers on small slips Of paper. These
were drawn out, and resulted in the fol-
lowing assignments: Table No. /. Oge-
thorpe Lodge, No. l, Mrs. r. r. Gamble:
table No. 2, Golden Rule Lodge No. u,
Mrs. Jacob Lippman; table No. 8, Concord
lodge No.~17 Mrs. Charles Martin, table
No 4, Acorn lodge. No. 1903, Mrs. ]. e.
Henderson; table No. 5. Haupt Lodge No.
49, Mrs. w. c. Mcintyre; table No. g. Live
Oak Lodge, No. g. Mrs. Adam Kessel. This
is the complete arrangement, and no
changes will be made unless absolutely
necessary. Tables Nos. and c, are at the
entrance to the hail, tables Nos. 3 and 4
are at the end, and tables Nos and 2 are
nearer the center of the hall.
An especial feature. which has been ar.
ranged by the committee, and which will
add much to the event, will be the orches-
ira, which has been engaged to furnish
music during The bazaar. Realizing th,
an occasion as the one in contemplation.
the committee were unanimous in their
action to obtain the services of the or.

mitteeman Manucy, and who is said to be
thoroughly conversant in the science of
fortune telling. She will have a booth in
the bazaar hail. and may have things to
tell even better than was ever expected
of the future
Invitations have been sent to the mill
tary companies of the city, to the uni
form divisions of the Knights of Pythias
and to the Masonic lodges, to attend the
bazaar and take supper at least one even
ing. The relation which exists between
all other fraternal organizations and the
Odd Fellows will doubtless actuate them
to patronize the bazar and lend all posi-
Bile assistance in making the affair pleas

SEARCHING FOR HIS DAUGHTER.
A Tattnan County Mans story TO the
Police.

A farmer named B. J. Morris, who lives
at Ohoopee. Tattnall county, appeared
al the police barracks yesterday and tolo
a pidable story to the officer on duty.
He wanted assistance in locating his
daughter, who is supposed to be some
where in Savannah. He came TO the city,
he said, expecting TO find her at the cor
ner of West Broad and Congress streets
where he had been informed she was stop
ping When he called at the place how
ever, he learned that she was not there
and had not been there He then reported
the matter to the police, and asked for
assistance in finding the girl

LAYS 1T ON HIS ENEMIES.
Pennington Sticks to the story He
Was Poisoned.

John Pennington, the groceryman who
was supposed to have been poisoned at his
home, corner of Orange and st. Gaul
streets, does not improve and the pros
poets of his recovery, in view of his old
age and infrmity, seem rather lmproba-
bic.
The negro, Charles Graham, however,
who ate a portion of the food which is pre-
sumed to have poisoned Pennington, was
up yesterday, but manifested a great
weakness from the effects of the food he
had eaten. He is of a much stronger con-
stituton than Pennington and this is
thought to be the cause of his early re-
covery.
No arrests have been made, but Pennlng-
ton is steadfast in his opinion that some
of hts enemies have taken it upon them
selves to dose the food with poison The
case is not being further. Investigated and
it is understood to be the intention of the
parties to let the matter drop for the pres

The Paris Soleil prints an interview
between its st. Petersburg correspond
ent and a prominent Russian states
man which may be interesting just
now. Among other things the cars
man said:
1--WE are not the enemies of England.
We willingly recognize the great role
that she plays in the world. We sim
cerely wish her success in her projects
of Anglo-Saxon and colonial federation.
But we are suspected Of cherishing a
desire to capture Hindoostan. What

however. refuses our offers Of friend
ship. Everywhere we find her in the
front ranks of our enemies. She Will
compel us at last to take sides against
her. And for all that she ought TO
understand that her danger does not
come from our side. Some day she viii

lance. but then 10 will be too late"
Speaking of the eastern question, this
diplomat made the following bold state
ment;
TURKEY will yield every point be-
vond a doubt Thessaly viii be com
pletely evacuated. The rectihcation Of
the frontier will not give Turkey more
than a single verst. No town in Thes-
sally will be given over to the sultan.
As to the internal reforms, rest assured
that we shall insist that they must be
complete and final"
The correspondent expressed some
doubt in regard to the doeile resigna-
ton Of the porte, and asked for some
further explanations.
eve are not now as we were at the
immediate close OF the Crimenn war,
said the Russian statesman. To-day
we are strong. and the Russian govern
ment can speak like n master. More
over. we are i'm full accord with the
ideas of Austria The resistance OF
Turkey would bring about military
Intervention in which we would play
the first part. Turkey does not want
to commit suicide. she knows that hei

''But." said the correspondent. "Iur

Gross Temptations by which Alas

There are many men on the Klondikc,

ment Of Jack Carr, the mail carrier,
and il is not very joyful news he brings
10 anxious relatives in this city and
elsewhere. 1t is not because the boys"
are not making money in the north that
they cannot come home, but because
the temptations of the saloons and
dance halls at Dawson are too much
for them, and every cent they earn is
spent that way. 1t does not take very
long TO run through q small fortune in
Alaska, if one is inclined to be the least
bit sporty. II costs from so cents TO

dance halls, and with whisky at rs
cents per drink a man has to be very

ceptionally lucky. They have been on
the river long time. and have good
claim If they would work it Industrious

were working down here, and Carr says
that they are not doing it in Alaska.
