wEsLEY's AID CONCERT.
Enjoyable Entertainment at Con-
serVatOry Hall.

The concert given at Mehrten's Hall last
night for the benefit of the Woman's Mis-
sionary Society OF Wesley Monumental
Church was most delightful affair. and
was enjoyed by an unusually large audi
efce.
The programme was varied and inter-
esting, and while no encores were given,
each number was warmly applauded. The
first number was a petite valse for
four hands played by Miss Hattie Ros-
signol and Prof. Mehrtens. Miss Ros-
signol is quite a small lady, but her play
ing was most artistic and received we'll
merited appreciation. Miss Anna Bell was
equally well received in a very taking
''Mazurka.' Schumanns "Traumerei, b"
for piano, organ and violin, was given by
Misses Usna and Winters, and Prof.
Mehrtens. 1t was one of the most charm
ing numbers of the evening
Miss Hortense Stern was down for two
numbers, "A Dream of Love-" and later
in the programme "Valse de Concert"
both of which she played in her usual fin
ished style
The sixth number was a recitation by
Miss Marion Cooper, the Sioux Chief 5
Daughter" Miss Cooper's work is as
pleasing as It is artistic, and she was
forced to bow her acknowledgements to
the plaudits that she received. Miss
Christina Winter played the Othella fan
tastie for violin faultlessly, and Mrs VII
lam Thomas was equally successful in her
"Offertory for Organ"
Chaminades Air de Ballet was played
by Miss Jessie Freeman In a most artistic
manner, while "a Day Dream" was
charmingly sung by Miss Bessie Gleason,
who has taken lessons from Prof. Steeg
only eight months but sings most delight
fully.
The ladies of the society are under many
obligations to Prof Mehrtens and the en-
tire faculty of the Conservatory for the
assistance rendered them, and also wish
to thank the other participants in the con-
cert who so generously came to their
aid

To Begin To-day.

There will be a demonstration of Eat
Well gelatines and salad dressings at
Jackson, Metzger & Coz store to-day and
every day until further notice. A very
pretty booth has been erected in the base
ment and the ladies of Savannah are
earnestly invited to come and try the Eat
Well productions. The Eat-Well brand
of geatines and salad dressing is the best
possible to be made-it represents abso-
lutte purity, extreme care in manufacture
and a perfectly satisfactory product. II
is Southern trade mark and Is the repre-
sentative of the best, and that only Eat
Well is known everywhere and is the
brand called for when perfection in salad
dressing in gelatines is wanted

LOVE BROUGHT WARRANTS.
Trouble Over the Courtship of Sol
der and a Young woman.

Trouble Over the COurtship of a Sol
der and Young woman.
Warrants for assault and battery were
sworn out yesterday by two women, each
against the other, and are the result of
quite a story of the course of true love
and its traditional lack of smoothness.
One of the parties 10 the suit has SIS
ter, It years old, who recently succumbed
to the irresistible brass buttons of a ser
geant in one of the artillery companies
now stationed at Tybee, and, though the
whole family of the young lady strenu-
ously objected to the attentions that he
was paying her, the lovers were in con-
slant communication, and, il Is said, have
been meeting each other quite frequently.
The mother of the young woman and
an elder sister who is one of the parties
to the suit, accused A next door neighbor
not only Of abetting the lovers in their
stolen interviews, but of allowing them
to use her house as place of tryst. Both
these charges the neighbor denied most
emphatically, but the accuserS were not
convinced, and what had been previously
only a wordy war was turned INTO de
real ting with the result that both par
ties will have a chance to settle their
differences in the City Court.

REV DIR. TUPPER's LECTURE.
He VIII Discuss the Question OF
"MaskS and Faces"

"MaskS and Faces"
DR.. 7. C. Tuppers lecture at the Guards
Hall tonight on Masks and Faces
promises to be a literary event. Those
who have heard DR.. Topper preach know
how interesting a talker he is, and his
dealing with the subject he has chosen will
be worth hearing.
The lecture will be under the auspices
of the Masonic lodges, a committee OF
Masons having the arrangements for the
lecture in charge. The sale of tickets has
already been large. Tickets will be on
sale to-day at Solomon's Bull street drug
store and at Theus'.
The lecture will begin at SIS o'clock.
The Birmingham News says OF DR.. Tup-
per's lecture, which was recently deliv-
cred in Birmingham LAS a sample Of
pretty word painting and splendid SEN
tence building, one will rarely find as
good But this was the least of its beau
ties 1t was fun from start TO finish of
startling truths aptly and strongly pre-
scnted like a pretty picture that is 10
be hung on memory's wall for constant
admiration"
Dr. Tupper's friends in Savannah are
glad of the opportunity of hearing him
and the hall w.ll no doubt be filed.

OF sixty one names registered in the Of

employees OF the Savannah. ThunderboIt

proof of The oft-repeated statement that
the company never takes a hand IN poll

The street railway employees are coming
in with great regularity, but have never
shown up in such numbers az yesterday
and the day before The registration book
for these days, in the column marked

the shape of the designation of some other
employee OF official of the company.
The registration is rapidly picking up
Within the past two weeks the average

twenty-five or thirty. Although there
seems no immediate need OF this exhuber-
ant political activity there is doubtless a
hidden one known to tho initiated. Though
both sides have been active most of the
registration lately done has been by ad-
hcrents of the Citizens Club.

CHINA WILL BE REFORMED
A SIGNIFICANT EDICT BY THE
EMPRESS DoWAGER.
The Empire Passing Through the Most
Serious Crisis in Her History.
Russia and Great Britain.

Pekin, Jan. An imperial edict, is
sued last Friday, remarks that China is
passing through a severe crisis in her
history" 1t reminds viceroys and gov
ernors of the numerous edicts that have
been issued lately, ordering administra-
tive reforms; points out that many of
these have not been observed. and COM
mands the immediate institution of re-
forms in methods Of training troops, in
agriculture, in manufacture and every
thing likely to conduce to the prosperity
of the empire. 1t directs the viceroys
and governors to memorabilia the
throne within month that these re-
forms have been inaugurated.
This edict is highly significant, as
showing that the empress dowager
realizes that the position is serious and
that all hope Of the country's future
lies solely in reform.
A deadlock has resulted from de-
mand by the Russians for the surrender
of certain British property, which the
Chinese government has awarded as
part of the Russian concession at Han
Kau. The British refuse to surrender
the property.

IKE STATE LAWMAKERS
Legislatures Gathering in Many
Commonwealth.
RICH PRIZES AT STAKE
Quay Has the Fight of His Life on Hand
in Pennsylvania-Iilinoi May Pass
Law to Keep Out Cheap
Labor.

Harrisburg, Pa, Jan, 1.-The general
assembly will open it's biennial session
at IL O'Clock Tuesday noon in the new
capitol building. After the senate and
house is organized, Governor Hastings
will send in his biennial message. The
list OF standing committees will hardly
be ready for announcement before the
inauguration of Governor-elect Stone,
on January H. so that the legislature
will not get down to work in earnest
before February. There is a strong
sentiment among the legislators in fav
or of a short session. Both democrats
and republicans will caucus tomorrow
for the organization of the house. The
republicans have a. majority of "a on
joint ballot and naturally expect to
control both houses. There are 81 re-
publicans and 10 democrats in the SEN
ate and 127 republicans and II demo-
Gratis and six fusionists in the house.
Senator Quays friends have fixed Tues
day evening for the senatorial caucus,
and the only question now is whether
12S republicans will go into the meet
Ding. If they do, everybody admits that
Quay will control the majority and
that he will be nominated. His oppon-
ents are making efforts to keep enough
out of the conference to prevent an
agreement, and if they do this they
will defeat the senator's reelection.
Congressman DalZell of Pittsburg and
Charles c. Tubbs of Tioga are the 9TH
er avowed aspirants for the senatorial
nomination. The fight against Quay is
being directed by F. A. VanValken-
berg, the leading spirit of the Business
Mems league. Republican workers are
being brought here from all over the
state to take a hand in the fight for
United States senator. The hotels are
crowded tonight and by tomorrow
will be filed to overlooking. The Quay
managers are on the aggressive ard
are leaving nothing undone to make
votes for their leader. The anti-Quay-
ties are just as active, but there are not
near SO many of them and their policy
will not be fully outlined before tO-mor-
row. The new capitol, although I'M
finished, presents a very creditable APP
pearance inside.

Tor DlScuSSAnn
Springfield, Ill, Jan. 1.-The 41st gen.
eral assembly will convene at noon on
next Wednesday. The organization of
the two houses will be effected on that
day. The governors message will
probably be submitted to the legisla-
ture some time during the afternoon,
There will be no United States senator
to elect this year, so that the first few
weeks will lack the political interest
which has distinguished the last two
regular sessions. However, there will
be an abundance of other things to
make the session interesting at times
exciting and perhaps as prolonged rs
the average session. 1t will not be al
at this time it seems probable that an
attempt will be made at congressional
reapportionment. The republicans will
control both houses by a majority
which will probably be sufficient to
pass any apportionment measure that
may be agreed upon. Nothing very
radical will be attempted in the way
of superintendent, the changes in all
probability being confined to a few dis
tricts. Final adjournment is not eX-
pected before the latter part of May or
early in June.
Labor legislation will occupy a large
share of attention. The events of the
past year, more particularly the min
ing troubles at Virden and Pana, have
created a pronounced sentiment in IA
vor of a law which will effectively pre-
vent the importation of negroes in large
numbers from other states. A general
feeling among the members is in favor
of law which win keep out of the state
armed bodies of cheap laborers from
other states, such as precipitated the
Iirden riot
