KiNDERGARTEN's THANKSGIVING.
Public Exercises This Morning in the
school Rooms.

The Kate Baldwin Free Kindergarten
will hold its Thanksgiving exercises this
morning between 9 and Ii o'clock at the
school rooms at Pine and Ann streets.
The exercises viii differ but little from the
every day routine, as it is the desire Of the
persons interested in the work to have the
visitors become acquainted with the regu-
lar curriculum of the season.
The exercises will consist of the regular
school work, songs and games, both
indoor and out, and the presentation to
each child of two symbolic pictures, each
illustrating one Of the things for which
they should be thankful. These pictures
will be artstlcally decorated with bows
of ribbon, and will be given the children
as souvenirs of the occasion.
Another feature of the day will be the
lunch which viii be a little more elaborate
than usual, consisting of a number of
sweet meats besides the usual bread and
milk. 1t is possible that fruit may be
served also, as 1t is understood TO be the
intention of one of the grades of the pub
lie schools to make such a present.
The management wishes particularly to
impress the fact that visitors will be well
coined, not only to-day, but on any day of
the school week, between the hours of 8
and II.

ONE OF THE FORTUNATE FEW.
SAVANNAH INVESTOR IN FRANKLIN
SYNDICATE REAPED a HARVEST.

Old Woman Who Invested $40 I'm the
Bubble, Drew Ten Per Cent for
Ten Weeks and Then Got All Her
Money Back-Frightened at Last,
She Drew on Miller just Before the
ColIapse-Draft Was Promptly
Paid-Others Not SO FOrtunate-Ru-
mOred That There Have been "a
Number of Savannah People Who
Have Invested In These Schemes.
There are recurring indications that
many persons in Savannah have been
struck by the mania for speculation
through such mediums as the Franklin
Synd cate and concerns of the like tiK, and
that possibly much money has been los
here in this manner. There is a story Of
one Old woman, though. who came out at
the big end of the horn.
About ten weeks or more ago she bought
two $50 shares of stock in the Franklin
Syndicate, for which she paid $40 and
upon which she was 10 receive dividends
Of ten par cent. per week. Fer len weeks
she received the dividends regularly, each
OF the checks being signed by WI Ham r.
Miller. The old woman DEPOSITED them
here, and they were sent to the New York
bank on which they We're drawn, and in
every instance were promptly paid.
A short time before the final and spec
tacular collapse of the syndicate, this par
ticular one OF it's Savannah patrons be-
came alarmed and decided she would with
draw. She drew a draft upon the syndi-
cate for the amount of her shares and
awaited in brea athiess expectation, the re-
quisite time for it to reach New York and
the news of its payment or dishonor to
come back to Savannah. Like the divl-
dends, though the draft was paid prompt
ly when presented.
The old woman, therefore, has realized
100 per cent. upon her investment, and had
her original capital returned in ten weeks
and so has come out decidedly ahead of
the game She is one of the fortunate;
there are others. though, the tale OF whose
dealings with the Franklin and other syn
dicates is not so pleasing and comforting
by half. but who have been left with the
bag TO hold by the collapse of these finan-
cal bubbles.
1t is said that the Savannah Bank and
Trust Company has had a number OF
drafts drawn upon it by Savannah people
in favor Of the White syndicate another

that guaranteed to make their customers
wealthy while they waited Some Of them,
alas, are waiting still The New York
Herald of yesterday, according to the As
ISOLATED Press. printed "a story to this ef-
feet. The White syndicate appears to be
the latest on the list of failures, its mana
gers having departed for parts unknown.

SENTENCED TO 40 LASHEs.
Mayor of Goat Alley Preferred n
Strnpping to the Jail.


Whipping as a means of subscribing the
ends of justice is becoming popular among
the constables on Bryan street, the latest
subject of the strap being jim Dixon,
otherwise known as the Mayor of Goat
Alley"
Dixon was familiar with the regime of
Jail life, and when for petty offense he
was offered the choice of a stay in Jail
or a whipping, 1t did not take him long to
decide in favor of the latter, As in prevl-
ous cases of this kind, he was directed to
lay himself across a trunk, the orthodox
position, and three feet of rubber hose
that had figured in such cases before was
brought Justify into play.
Dixon had been sentenced to receive
forty lashes, but when a small fraction of
this number had been applied the hose
was worn out and Dixon was given the
benefit of this, for him, fortunate circum-
stance What he did get, though, was
warm enough to stay in his memory for
some time to come, and it is hardly likely
that he will care to have a repetition Of
the dose

HARDWICK BILLS DEFEAT.
Savannah's COlOred Citizens Graft
fed with the Result.


The colored citizens of Savannah re-
ceived the news of the defeat of the Hard
wick bill discriminating against them with
great satisfaction. They feel that their
efforts which were formulated In petit
ton on certain constitutional and eco.
nomic grounds after consultation with w
r. Leaken, Esq, were effective in
accomplishing the defeat of the measure.
Col. J. H. Deveaux, acting under the adj
vice of Hon. John J. McDonough, member
of the legislature from this county, had
the memorial to the Legislature printed,
and Mr.. McDonough saw that copy was
placed on the desk of every member of
the House yesterday morning, and
probably had much to do with the result
of the vote.
The first news of the vote was received
by Col Deveaux in a dispatch from Mr.
McDonough, announcing Overwhelming
defeat of the bill. Col. DeveauX imme-
diately sent the following acknowledg-
ment:
"Hon. John j. McDonough, Atlanta, Ga
in the name of the petitioners and the
colored people against the Hardwick bill,
l tender YOU thanks for your timely in
terest."
A vigorous fight was made on the bin
from this section and the efforts of the
Chatham county opposition were acknowl-
edged to have been effectual in directing
the sentiment in other parts of the state.
The Morning News printed a week or
more ago interviews with Leading colored
men of Savannah on the injustice of the
measure. Col. DeveauX, when seen last
night, said that the defeat of the bill is
a great satisfaction not only to the col
ored citizens of Savannah. but it must be
20 the entire state. He has taken an
active stand in opposing the bill and to
him the result is doubly gratifying.

Investigation Made BY the
Finance Committee
QUIET FEELING PREVAILS
Since the News Was Received That
the Cuban Soldiers Would Soon
Be Partly Paid OF,

New York. Jan. PA dispatch to the
Tribune from Havana says: The finance
committee, which is investigating the
financial condition of the Havana mu-
nicipality, today examined executions
which are held by the two banks against
the city. These are the Spanish bank
and Bank of Commerce. The latter is
owned by English capital. 1t has a lien
for substantially $25, 900, 600, but has
nothing to do with the collection of taxes
or with the income of the municipality.
The Spanish bank has all these privileges.
The commission is satisfied with today's
examination that the total bonded indebt-
edness of Havana does not exceed $12,-
500, 600. 1t hopes for an early measure
which will free the city from the clutches
of the Spanish bank. Until that is done
the municipality will hardly collect
money enough for current expenses and
will have nothing for public improve
ments.
News that the American authorities
are preparing a financial system for the
collection and disbursement of taxes is
quieting the violence Of the agitation
against the Spanish bank. Collector
Bliss has gratified the merchants and i'm
porters by establishing a system for the
~refunding of customs duties which may
have been overpaid. 1t is a plan that is
followed in the customs house in the
United States. Unde the Spanish sys-
tenn no refund is permitted. The i'm
porters are gratified with the new sys-
tenn. Little friction is now experienced
in the administration of tariff duties.
A report from Washington that the
Cuban commission will return with au-
thority to pay the insurgant troops to
the amount of So, 000, 600, has caused a
better feeling. This will be sufficient to
test their good faith in promising to dis
band when the first paymen is made.
1t is enough to enable them to return
to their homes in the country and begin
rebuilding their farms. Between the
sugar plantations, which are grinding,
and the public Improvements, which will
be carried on by the American authori-
ties, no a~ble-bodied man in Cuba will
lack for work during the next three
months.
The customs receipts will not enable
part of this appropriation to be paid for
some time. By the end of this month
Collector Bliss will have $75O,000 subject
to the order Of General Brooks, but the
expenses Of the administration are i'm
perative. Sanitary improvements will
help to eat it up and customs receipts in
the future will not be SO heavy.
The San Jose dock n warehouse
property negotiations nave been conduct
ed through Lawrence Turnure, successor
to Moses Taylor & Co. of New York, on
behalf of Mr.. Watson and other Boston
capitalists. The papers have not been
signed, but the basis of the purchase is
said to have been fixed at $500, 900 and
that the transaction is to be closed this
week.

There are said to be 221 offices on the
island that may be called comparatively
large. Between so and IS of these are as
large as those that in this country are
classed as presidential. About a dozen of
these are now in the hands of American
postmasters and it is proposed to put all
the important postOffices under American
postmasters already selected and to re-
tain the present Spanish incumbents as

AGUlNALDO HAS
NOT CLEAR SAILING

Chicago, Jan. PA special to the
Tribune from Washington says: The
government has been notified that
Aguinaldo took a decisive step and pub
licly proclaimed the republic of the Fill
lpinOS. The ceremony took place at
Malolos and was witnessed by the men,
bers of his cabinet. This news comes
from Manila, where the tidings of
Aguinaldo's procedure was received with
public demonstrations of a mild sort.
All is not plain sailing for the insur-
gents, as 1t is said the rival authorI-
ties at Cebu are fighting. The trouble
has not yet reached acute stages, but the
safety of the town and surrounding
country is in danger. The northern prov
inces have recently given indications that
they are not in accord with Aguinaldo,
and should his proclamation lead to hos
tilities with the Americans he may nave
a revolution as well as a war of conquest
On his hands. Another serious feature,
according to the dispatch, is that the in
terror of Luzon is in a ferment. Native
officers have been murdered and no effort
made to punish the criminals.
