New York: The tape continues to make
many converts in the stock market to the
belief that the Spanish government has
made concessions of character to re-
move danger of war over the Cuban ques-
ton. This view does not coincide with
that commonly entertained a Washing
ton, but generally speaking the ticker
forecasts coming events with more accUr-
acy than the average Washington poll
tician or member of congress The pros
pect of an early relaxation of the tension
of the relations between Spain and the
United States has been proclaimed by the
movement of the stock market since last
Saturday. 1t is encouraging to see that
the rash war party in congress is stin
amena BILE to reason, and unless the Wash
ington situation suddenly changes there
does not appear to be a prospect of much
diSquieting legislative work for the rest
of the week. The foreign exchange mar
ket remains in condition permitting this
country to draw heavily on Europe for
gold. The domestic money markets are
in excellent shape.

LAST NIGHT OF THE FAIR.
fancy Articles VIII he AuetIoned ut
Masonic Hall To-day.

Masonic HAN To-day.
Tonight will bring the fair, which has
been in progress for the last ten days at
Masonic Hall, to an end. The ladies Of the
Lutheran Church of the Ascension have
had it in charge. and have been very
successful with it, they think, considering
the fact that it has followed so closely
upon the heels Of other matters TO which
the public has been expected to contribute
and to render it's patronage.
1t has been the laudable purpose of the
ladies to pay off a debt of about 1000 that
encumbers the church, and they will be
almost, if not quite, successful.
There viii be an auction sale this aft
eTnoon and tonight at the hall of all ar
ticles that have not been otherwise dis
posed of, 1t is believed that a good OPP
portunity will thus be presented for the
purchase of suitable Christmas presents
at a moderate price. great number of
very handsome articles of fancy work,
bric-a-brae and everyday use will remain
to be sold. In addition to the possibility
of making advantageous purchases by
auction, there will be the attraction of
a good band and dancing TO draw and
amuse.
Last night was one of the most success
full of the fair. This week has thus far
proven far better from a financial point
of view, than last, and the ladies have
been greatly encouraged. The band of the
Third Georgia Regiment, under the direc-
ton of Bandmaster Burns discoursed
sweet music from the balcony, and dane
ing and other pleasurab.e enjoyments were
INDUCED in.
One of the tables of the fair that has
proven most popular with the soldiers is
| that al which candy is sold by Misses
Meta Doscher, Louisa Lubs and Annie
| Schroeder. With its fair ADMINISTRATORS
to attend il, the table has been one of the
| successful features of the fair.
Mrs. ]. n. Helmken, with her busy corps
! of helpers, have made the booth over
which she presides one of the attractions.
Shoes for ladies and gentlemen are there
in plenty, and many handsome pairs have
been sold. There yet remain a number
| of pairs 20 be disposed of at the auction
tonight.
! At Uncle Sans booth the contest for the
| beautiful bride doll will be concluded to-
| night Al this booth, presided over by
| Mrs Schroeder, there are a great many
| handsome articles that win be sold. A
soldier is wanted at the Seventh Army

but he has not shown up to claim it. Mrs
Kuck will have many articles of value for

FOUGHT IN THE INDIAN WARS.

Orderly Wood of the Fourth Virgin
ia 81 veteran of the Plains.
One of the most interesting characters
that has come to Savannah as a result of
the war is Thomas A. Wood. AS an eX
emplifcation of friendship and fidelity his
course is worthy of note. Wood is chief
orderly for Gen. H. c. Hasbrouck Of the
Second Brigade, Second Division. He is
nominally a member of Company F,
Fourth Virginia Volunteers. This modest
title does not begin to indicate the service
which he has given to his country.
Wood served in the Nodoc Indian war
Of 1S72-73, and also the Indian outbreak
of the Bannoeks of 1878. After ten years
in the regular service he took an honorable
discharge and returned to the more desir-
able pursuits of life in North Carolina.
When the President called for vo.un-
teers Wood was one of the first to enlist
To-day when The transport Chester steams
down the river with 1900 soldier souls
aboard 20 enforce the liberation of peo-
Die which has suffered the yoke of OPP
preston for 400 years, this same Wood
who fought Indians on the frontier for ten
years will be one of the proudest men
aboard the transport.
Early risers who see the Chester leave
the wharf viii see Wood unfurling to the
Georgia breeze a banner which was pre-
sented to Gen. Hasbrouck by the officers
of his brigade.
Since entering the volunteer service,
Wood has had charge of the mail service,
which was ittngly recognized by Post
master Doyle. 1t goes without saying
that this duty has been properly perform
ed by Wood, who has given allegiance to
gold standard administration, while he
wears, in a brass frame, a free silver stir
rup wheel, which has spurred his gallant
horse, Caussey, into many a hard fought
battle in Indian campaigns in the West
