charge of the Odd Fellows bazaar, which
opens at the Guards armory next Mon
day evening, are busy with their prepara-
tons. The various committees have re-
ported that with the donations already
received and those promised, there will
be a sufficiency for all of the tables.
The tables will be handsomely arranged
and decorated. a lively spirit of rivalry
exists between the workers in charge of
the several tables. Among the donations
received from out Of town are several re-
galias. jeweIry, fancy ware groceries of
all sorts, bicycles watches, articles of
bric-a-brac and other things too numerous
to mention.
The committee has arranged for dane
ing from Ii to y oclock. The only change
made in the arrangements is in the re-
fresment departments. The ladies who
were to have charge of that department
being unable to continue the work, the
committee has placed it in charge of the
Independent Society of st. PauHs church.
This society, of which Mrs. J. H. Elton is
president, is composed of the ladies of
that parish. They are all experienced in
their line of work and for the last several
years have been serving refreshments for
the Masonic lodges and other fraternal
bodies The mere mention of the fact that
this society will have charge of the re-
freshment department is a guarantee that
1t will be strictly up-to-date in every par
ticular. -..-.

THE DIAMONDS POPULARITY.
More Worn Now Than Ever Before.


In considering the diamond as an orna-
ment, the superficial student of economy
would naturally assume that hard" times
are apt to restrict the popularity of this
gem of luxury" But as "a matter of fact.
the practical observer knows that more
diamonds are worn nowadays than ever
before, and in some instances by people
whose means would hardly seem to justify
1t. Men wear diamonds and good ones at
that whose entire available assets are
probably tied up in the scntillating stone.
The only reason perhaps, that can be ad-
duced for this seeming incongruity, is that
good stone is always readily convertible,
and the wearer, at the same time takes
this method of Sailing down" a sum of
money, that would probably otherwise
have been unprofitably spent. Sternberg &
Co., the Broughton street jewelers., are
special dealers in fine diamonds, and other
precious stones, and probably carry al
ways the largest stock in the state, and
sell them on a very small margin. Besides
diamonds, they display a magnificent stock
of diamonds and gold jewelry, silverware,
silver novelties, clocks, Watches lamps,
etc. Seekers for suitable articles for wed
ding presents or presentation purposes,
will find Sternberg & Co.'S, veritable
palace of riches. Note their handsome
windows, and then walk in and inspect

ART LEAGUE CLASSES FORMED.
Instructor Fox Inspected Their Work
at TeIfair Academy.

Mr.. George Bladder Fox, instructor Of
the art league. spent some time yesterday.
his first day in the city, inspecting the
specimens of the work that had been
placed in the studios at the Telfair Acad-
envy. There were a great many of these
specimens, as the ladies have been very
successful in securing members for the
classes. Some of the ladies had several
specimens at the studios.
The committee OF ladies', which has been
engaged in working up the interest In the
class, is greatly pleased with the number
secured. Already. before the classes have
been organized, thirty have signified an
intention of taking up the work. This
number consists almost entirely of ladies,
there being only two or three gentlemen.
This is regretted, as the committee thinks
that better results would follow if fair
percentage of gentlemen were represented.
The regular work of the league will COM
mence tomorrow. All the members Will
meet at the studios. They will then be
assigned by Mr.. Fox TO the several classes
he will form. The course of work that Will
be mapped out will then be taken up Mr..
Fox offering criticisms from time TO time
as the artists progress. 1t IS said that
Mr.. Fox intends establishing class to
study from life. He finds that some OF
the members have progressed sufficiently
to admit their attempting the more diff
cult work from living models.
Some of the ladies fear that there may
be some difficulty in securing models
They recall an instance, to show SUCH
difficulties, in an attempt that was made
by members of a former life class to Sc
cure an old woman to pose. She was an
inmaAe of one of the charitable institu-
lions, and was by no means a dilettante,
a IL. nv
ices at the to her, princely stipend of 70
cents an hour was made, she wanted to
know what they meant by posing" This
was explained by her being told that they
wanted to paint her. The good soul was
Mortified at this. In indignation she told
her callers that she did not propose to be
treated to a coat of paint, even If they
would pay her 70 cents an hour. Finally
1t was impressed upon her mind that there
is such a thing as art, and the means that
have to be pursued in order to admit of
its votaries pursuing its studies were ex-
planned.

examined and the physician himself was
puzzled to know the cause of il.
An ugly hole, evidently the result of a
shot from some kind of a gum had been
made in the back of the head. The COM
panions of Harris all say, however, that
no report of any shot was heard and the
only feasible account that can be given is
that it was a stray bali fired from some
other section of the city.
The physician says the shot would likely
