officers and private soldiers. Heretofore
,ben discharged soldier has wanted a
ticket TO a point in Texas, in the territory
If the Central Passenger Association, the
Trunk Line Association, the Western
passenger Association and beyond, the
-. soldier has had to buy as far as he
could on the rate of half fare that is al
lou.ed bv the roads in this territory. and
then after he had arrived at this point,
huv another ticket at regular tariff rates
10 his desired destination. Under the ar
rangement that has just been promulgat-
cd NV the commissioner of the Southeast
err Association it is possible for a dis
obargad soldier to buy a ticket through to
his destination by paying the half rate
90 far as the territory in which it applies
svtsnds and the regular tariff rate be-
vond This enables ticket agent here
or at any other point to sell through TO
the destination of the passenger.
The southern roads have been much more
generous TO soldiers in the matter of trans
nortation rates than have those IN some
other sections. Discharged men, except for
q very brief space Of time, have ali been
allowed a half rate, Notwithstanding the
government pays them more for transpor-
1ation TO their places of enlistment than
Is required to get them there. The roads
of the sections that have not agreed to
this plan make the claim that the men
should be willing to pay the full fare and
should have it TO do, as the government
makes this provision for them. Another
reason that has enabled the southern lines
TO be more generous in this particular Is
probably 10 be found in the fact that they
have had a great deal more of the bust
ness Of carrying mustered out soldiers
than have the lines in other territory.

AN EVENING OF HARMONY.
Pleasing Recital at the COnserva-
tory of Music.

tory of Music.
There was a good attendance at last
nights recital at the Savannah Conserva-
tory of Music. The programme suffered
a little on account of the rain, but this
was provided for by Mr.. Mehrtens.
Miss Josephine Dieter, who opened the
programme with a piano duet between
Miss Black and herself gained great
praise for her execution and grace. Miss
Anna Bell contributed a very pleasing
piano solo, entitled, The Little Maiden"
Miss Lila Conner deserves praise for the
manner in which she accompanied Miss
Winter in a piano and violin duet; Miss
Elise Krensons pianoforte solo, my First
Ball. was much appreciated and loudly
appauded. A very enjoyable instrumental
trio, piano, organ and violin, entitled,
In May" was contributed by Master
James Rossignal Miss Winters and Prof.
Mehrtens. Master Wilder Adams was
heard to good advantage in his planoforte
solo, Bird and the Minstrel" and gives
evidence Of careful training. Perhaps the
most enjoyable number of the evening
was the violin solo by Master Edwin Sill
verstein. Miss Antonica Usina coutribu-
ted a charming rendition of Air de Bal
let.' Miss Mae Palmer has perhaps never
been heard with so much advantage as
in her rendition of Rubenstein's concert
Etude. The staccato movement was ex-
ceptionally brilliant. Miss BERTHE Fisher.
whose violin playing was much compli-
mented, contributed an excellent solo, en-
titled, "Angel Dream"
The programme was brought to a close
by an instrumental trio, 'Tntermezzo Cav
alleria Rusticano," by Miss Sarah Cum
bingham, Miss Winters and Prof. Mehr-
tens. Miss Cunningham's piano accom-
paniment was both graceful and sympa-
thetic. The evening was most enjoyable
and fully repaid all who braved the in
clement weather.

Peters Comedy Company Playing to

The Peters Comedy Company entertain

night with an amusing farce entitled MY

This afternoon last nights bill viii be
repeated and tonight THE Marriage
Broker will be presented. The company
is an entertaining one, and gives excellent
performances.
Tuesday afternoon, Feb. q, Rosenthal,
the famous pianist, win give his first re-
cital in Savannah. y New York Sun critic
says of him:
"A perfect pianist, that is the term
which best describes him, and yet the
phrase has properly discreet and modest
ring.
TO the afertness of legerdema.n and the
strength of a blacksmith he adds the re-
tinement OF a woman and the sincerity of
faithful and humble apostle OF art"
From this extreme measure of praise it
seems hardly worth while to subtract any
thing now, since facts prove that Rosen-
thai has worked at his art AMI his mstru-
ment with the ferocity of a tiger and the
industry of a beaver during the past eight
years, in consequence of which the piano

being could do greater feats of deXterity-
he has reached the boundaries OF the i'm

would seem, be cxcelled, nor in endurance.

this connection an interesting point has

this connection an interesting point has
been raised.
The printers have filed Iaborers' liens, -
which have been levied on the property of
the company. Their claims amount to
about $500, and as there is an excess of
liabilities over assets of about $l,600, the
question of the validity of their liens as
laborers is of interest to other creditors.
If the validity OF the liens is established,
they win come in ahead of other creditors.
The attorneys for other claimants con-
tend that printers are not laborers, within
the meaning of the section of the code
giving them a lien upon the property of
their employers. In support of this position
they cite several recent decisions of the
Supreme Court, which seems to them to
bear out their contention. To entitle one to
a laborer's lien, these attorneys say. he
must perform work of which the chief
characteristic is physical eXertion. If on
the other hand, the work involves princi-
pally mental skill and capacity, the laborer
may be entitled to his lien, but wiz have
to get it in the ordinary way. The right
of execution upon affidavit is not allowed
