well that Tommy was sound sleeper,
as the fleeting forms of shadowy fig

have disturbed him.
1t was 1870 when Thomas arrived
at home and greeted his anxious wire.
When they retired Thomas said:

The door had been thrown vide
open, but Mrs. O'Dowd had hung her
Sunday shawl over the opening. BE-
hind the folds of this garment the
three persons watched and waited. Inc
blinds had been carefully closed, SO
that not a ray of sunlight came INTO

blazing with light to their utmost ca
pacity. 1t was painfully still IN inc

as thought he could hear the gentle
breathing Of the little boy. AS the
minutes licked slowly away the sus-
pense was almost unbearable. A move
ment in the bed caught the ears OF Inc
listeners. Then the bed clothes were
thrown aside and the little fellow sat
upright, apparently paralyzed WIN

reflected from a hundred pieces OF reu

hung like apples on the limbs. Little
candles twlnkled through the scant tol-
iage, while barber-pole candy, tin
soldier and a jumping jack were prom
inently displayed 1t was an Aladdin

vision, like q saint before a shrine,
with hands clasped in adoring admira-

Roosevelt and Cherry streets. Uplift-

working with tender emotion, she said:
What did it cost to play that little
joke on Tommy"
Just IL cents, sweetheart" he re-
piled.
They walked on for another block.
But Mrs. Thomas was bubbling over
with excitement. and she stopped her
husband again and exclaimed:
But you haven't any Christmas

Nonsense, Molly, haven't"
He was interrupted by two soft arms
around his neck and a kiss. Then
Molly began to cry. But George quick

elevated car flying toward Herlem he
said:

CHRISTMAS CAROL.

Hark! those strains, so sweetly falling
On that festal morn!
To our hearts are they recalling,
Christ, our King, was born.
He has come to give blessing
To the poor, the sad
He has come with kind caressing,
Making children glad.
Chorus:
Hark! those strains SO sweetly falling
On that festal morn;
To our heart they are recalling,
Christ, our King, was born.
HE we to the lowly manger,
At the village inn;
Let us greet the wondrous stranger
Saving all from sin;
Let us bring a royal treasure,
Like the wise Of old;
Love sincere and without measure,
Better far than gold.
Chorus.-Hark, etc.
What though wintry winds are blow
ing
Leaves from off the tree;
And no more the flocks are lowing,
On the upland lea;
Christ each little lamb is tending,
Folding 1t with care;
From the storms of life defending,
From its chilling air.
Chorus.-Hark, etc.
May those angels, at the dawning.
Singing in the sky,
Ever with kindly warning
Bid the tempter fly.
When no more on earth is given
Joy like this today,
May such messengers Of heaven
Bear our souls away.
Chorus.-Hark, etc.

YOM KIPPUR's SOLEMN FAST.
A General Suspension of Business by
Hebrew Merchants. ~

a General Suspension of Business by
Hebrew Merchants. -
There was almost a general suspension
of business in the city yesterday on ad-
count of the Jewish holiday, Yom Kippur.
The stores of the Hebrew merchants were
closed from sunset the day before Their
day of atonement, which is the English
for Yom Kippur, expired with sunset yes
terday but the stores were not then re-
opened.
When the places of business Of the jew
ish merchants of Savannah are closed
there is not very much business to go on.
There will be a notable contrast between
the amounts of energy displayed on the
streets yesterday and to-day. The funereal
quiet win then have been restored.
Yom Kippur was observed in fitting
manner by the congregation Mickva Is
rael at the temple and by that of Talmud
Torah at Odd Fellows hall. The latter is
made up of the orthodox Jews. Services
continued all during the day. In the after
noon the temple service and the memorial
service were held. At both the rams horn,
or shofar, was blown, and at the latter
the names of all those who have died
during the past year among the congre-
cations We're read out, They were re-
membered in prayer.
The next holiday of the Jews will be
one of rejoicing, and will be in strong
contrast to that of yesterday, which was
one Of fasting, mediation and prayer This
holiday win be the Feast of the Taber-
nacle. Services in honor of it will be held
next Friday and Saturday.

AMATEURS FORM AN ORCHESTRA.
Meeting to Be Held at Catholic liz
brary Hall Tonight.


Savannah is to have an amateur orches-
ara unless those who are interesting
themselves In its organization are very
much mistaken in their calculations. They
have already secured enough members to
make it a go from the start, even if no
more are gotten. That Is not what is want
ed, however, and meeting will be held
tonight at $50 O'Clock at the Catholic
Library Association Hall.
professional as well as amateur musi-
clans are wanted as members and any one
with musical talent that he desires to Gull
tlvate is invited to attend the meeting.
There are alreaEy number of profession
ais among those who have decided to Join
the orchestra, any they think very highly
of the idea. Both they and the amateur
projectors are taking great deal of in
tcrest in the proposed organization.
Among the forty or more down on the
list that will comprise the organizing
members of the orchestra, If no others at
tend, are the following well known musi-
clans: DR.. J. G. Van Marter, Mr.. George
Beckett, Mr.. William Neyle Habersham,
Mr.. NJ. D. Coburn, Mr.. Frank Keilback,
Mr.. Wilhelms, Mr.. r. D. baltimore and
Mr Frank E. Rebarer.
There are probably number of people
IN the city who have musical abilities and
aspirations whom those starting up the
movement have not seen. An whom they
knew, they have hooked up, but if there are
others, they are very anxious 10 have them
attend the meeting. Amateurs who have
given up music are asked to take it up
sgain Those who think they have not sufti-
Cient talent to attempt soto work are asked
TO join the orchestra
The idea of those interested is to organ
lie an orchestra similar to the Mozart
Club, which was so popular here years
ago 1t was composed of good musicians,
professional and amateur, and this is pro-
posed TO be no more than a reorganiza-
ton of that club with a change of name.
1t is not intended to form the organization
for pecuniary profit. 1t cannot be engag-
ed but it is expected that it will give a
number of concerts during year, the
proceeds to be devoted to charitable pur-
poses. No one is going into it for what
he can get out of it in a pecuniary way.
Pleasure and instruction are the objects in
view.
Among those who are identified with the
movement already there is a sufficient di-
versity of instruments to make up an or
binary orchestra. Those who have signi-
fled their intention of joining play among
them twelve violins, three violncellos,
three Violas, three double bases, four flutes,
two clarionets one piccolo, one tuba, three
trombones, four French horns, two tym-
pants, four comets, one oboe and one sax

the next Congress, especially of some Of
those that are the most VeXatious TO gem

out. The governments finances will com
mand much attention. No one knows yet
lust what the war has cost, or what Will
be the future outlay. Judging from the
way troops are being shipped to the Phil
ippines and other arrangements under
way. the coming expenditures as result
of the war will be enormous. When the
administrations policy is known it will
be possible to determine what can be done
TO reduce taxes The Democrats Will
stand opposed to the retention OF any war
