THE WAN on THE MONUMENT.
Jasper Carries the Flag of the Con-
federacy in His Hand.

The general wish is that rain may hold
off a few days longer, as the decorations
over the city would be sadly impaired by
a drenching Considerable pride is mani
ifested In the fact that so many have de-
cided to make gay their homes or places
OF business. and the gala dress me city is
wearing IL highly pleasing TO all. Her
citizens are glad to note that the veterans
will see her in her best reception attire.
A slight anacronism is noted in the dec
grafton Of one of the monuments TIE
effect is very pleasing 10 the eye and tile
conception is to be commended but it "a
rather odd TO place a Confederate flag In
ahe ontstretched hand of Sergt Jasper
The furled flag of bronze he bears ordin
arily however, has been draped about
with the emblem of the Confederacy, and
the figure Of the gallant hero IL made to
show what might have been his colors had
he lived during the internecine strife.
That is no very great nlisfit. however, in
comparison with some of those that were
noted at the recent national reunion of the
Grand Army of the Republic at Phi adel-
phia. A certain mcnolcsue man IN one of
the New York theaters, a city always
ready TO Jolly Philadelphia, tod Of the
queer things that were to be seen there
on that occasion, and his story ran some
thing like this:
Wei, l was down in Philadelphia the
other day, and do YOU know the town
actually looked as If il we're alive? Yes
sir il bad a wiggle on for once. You know
the G.. A. r. was there. Philadelphia had
her glad rags on. SO ONION in all s glory
was not arrayed like one of her Chestnut
street stores. Everywhere flags and hunt
ing were flying, and G. A. r. was in every
direction you could look. Those people
were certainly glad TO see the c. A. r.
Why do you know the Chinese laundry
there, yes, Philadelphia has one, had a
big sign out that said Welcome Com
rades,' while over the Jail was a device
that read Welcome G. a. r. Now
wouldn't that G. A. r. your
Now the Confederate veterans who came
TO Savannah may be assured of a welcome
wherever they go. They needn't look for a
sign over the Chinese laundry, but If they
call there they win doubtless be received
with Oriental politeness and have the best
pipe In the house offered. In a friendly
way the police win also gladly receive the
veterans as viii be shown by those who
turn out for the parade in honor of the
visitors

Whitman Sisters VnudevilIe's Ini-
tiaI Performance.
The initial performance of the Whit
man sisters vaudeville was given at the
theater last night before large audience,
the greater part OF which was distributed
in the two upper galleries.
The programme opened with a picnic
scene which was a pot pourri of all sorts,
some Of which were entertaining.
The feature of the performance was, of
course, the appearance of the Whitman
sisters Essie and May. Essie, the elder
Of the two, has much the better voice. Her
singing was greatly enjoyed, particularly
the solo "a Golden Picture" She has
contralto of good tone and clearness and
uses 1t well.
The cosiuming and conduct of the per-
forrnance was excellent. One of the best
things on the programme was the bass
solo by John Bailey. The Whitman Sis
ters' banjo playing, singing and sketches,
and their coon songs caught the audi
ence. The pickaninny cake walkers dld
their part we'll Massey Mann's bone
playing was also good. Lindsay Davis
tenor solo in. the opening part was warm
ly applauded. The show is of consid-
erably higher class in many of its feat
ures than that which was given last
spring, and after the usual cut
ting down process and under good
management ought to prove paying at
traction. 1t will start on the road next
week.
