A Christmas Celebration Arranged
for Them by the Kings Daughters.

a Christmas Celebration Arranged
for Them by the Kings Daughters.
The Savannah Union of Kings Daugh-
ters has determined that it will give a
Christmas tree. with its Accomplishments
of carols and other holiday features, to
the little ones of whose moral, mental and
welfare the nursery conducted by the
union on West Broad and Henry streets
assumes charge
The nursery has long been recognized
by the public of this city as one of the
most deserving works of charity carried
on here, and has always been supported
in some wise, though perhaps not as lib
orally as it deserved to be. The care of
the little children at periods in their lives
when too much of vice is sometimes i'm
planted in their natures by contact with
the rough corners that abound in sections
of the city where many of their parents
live is certainly a noble work of charity,
and 1t should receive every encourage
ment
The good women who have the nursery
in charge are now determined to gladden.
the hearts of the children with such a
celebration of Christmas day as they will
remember for the rest of the year There
are to be presents for each of the little
tots and such plentiful supplies of candles
and fruit and other indigestibles as the
venerable traditions of Christmas demand.
For the purpose of carrying on this part
of the work successfully donations are
needed from the public, and it is hoped
that there Will be a liberal response. Con-
tributions Of candies, fruit, nuts, toys and
other articles of Ike holiday character
will be received by Miss Viola Kennedy
at her residence, 319 East Broughton
street, at any time between the present
and the day before the celebration.

ago and was lost en- route, has been Local

a few days. The owners of the machine
who rented it 10 the city, were so anxious
TO get 1t here promptly that they shippel

PLAYED AS OWE INSTRUMENT.
Fadette's Orchestra Gave a Delight
full Concert


The Fadette's Wonan's Orchestra of Bos.
ton furnished the second Of the Y. NJ. c.
A. Star Course Of entertainments at the
Guards Hall last night. A large audience
was present and the nunet Gus tnoores that
were demanded and the prolonged applause
that followed each number testified to its
thorough enjoyment of the entire pro-
gramme.
The orchestra is composed of twenty
ladies' under the direction of Mrs. Caroine
b. Nichols. Two of the ladies', besides
playing in the orchestra, are soloists, one,
Miss Bertha Webb, a solo violinist, and
the other, Miss Anna White, cornetist.
Under the excellent conduct of Mrs.
Nichols the orchestra played as though IL
was but single instrument in the hands
of an artist
The programme was arranged with a
view to satisfying all tastes, and met the
requirements fully. From a Schubert
symphony to a rag time two-step was
included, and judgingl from the applause
each was equally enjoyed. Sousa's Pres
idential Polonaise'' made a most effective
opening piece. This was followed by
"Oberon Overture"-Von Weber, which
was splendidly played. and brought forth
a most enthusiastic burst of applause to
which the orchestra responded with the
ever popular Smoky Mokes." The next
number was double one, Love Song"
by Jonas, and ''Serenade Roccoco," by
Meyer They were both dainty
little compositions, and were played with
a delicacy and finish that forced recall
piece, when Schumann's "TraumereP' was
given.
Miss Whites solo for cornet accompa-
MED by the orchestra proved one of the
most popular numbers of the programme.
Her selection of a theme and variations
gave the opportunity for some brilliant
work and demonstrated her complete mas
terry of the instrument rather a rare ac-
complishment for a woman. AS a recall
piece she gave Strelezskis ballad,
Dreams" which she also played most ar
tsticaly.
allegro Moderate" from Schubert's
Unfinished Symphony was the fifth num-
Der. and the sixth, again a double one,
consisted of the "Angelus," and the
march from Massenets Scenes Pit o.
resques." Miss Webb scored a splendid
success in the violin solo, Caprice de
Concert of Muslin's. He has a remark
ably pure tone and plays with a delicacy
and fire that deserved the applause so
generously bestowed. She responded with
a charming little piece, a study in pizzi-
cato, that was in its way as delightful as
her first number.
Echoes From the Grand Operas" by
Tobani proved to be a popular selection as
it was most enthusiastically applauded, a
double encore being given before the audi
fence was satisfied to let the programme
be continued. Both of these encores,
"Whistling Rufus" and STARS and
Stripes, Forever appealed to the fancy of
the audience and were most heartily en-
joyed. MY Old Kentucky Home" fanta-
sic by Langey, was the last number of the
and by no means the least
popular of the evening.

FAKIRs OUT FOR CHRISTMAS.
Plenty of Them Set Up on Street Cor
ners.

A "fakir' with a new game for suck
ers showed up yesterday, and at his stand
at Liberty, and West Broad, did a tnriv-
ing business all day with the gullible col
,ored brother just from the country and
the equally gullible countryman who had
just struck town to do little Christmas
trading.
The apparatus with which the game is
conducted is apparently quite simple, con-
sisting of a table and a bali suspended
from a chain attached to a cross piece
over the table. A small pyramid-shaped
block is placed near the center of the
table and the player by swinging the ball
in a circular motion attempts to knock
over the pyramid. 1t costs a quarter TO
make the attempt, which, if successful,
nets the player 81. The owner of the
game is not in the business for mis- health,
and it is needless to say that when he
suspended operations for the day the
profits were not on the side of the players.

FOURTEEN CENT CoPpET.

Copper continues to maintain
itself on the eastern and foreign
markets at the highest prices of
the year. II strongly held at l3
cents, with IA cents expected. And
the hopes of the expectant ones
would seem to be we'll founded
In an article from the London
Mining Journal, IL is stated: SIN
view of the improving prospects of
the copper market and of the cop
per industry there is an anxiety
generally manifested to know the
districts where copper is abund-
ant, for II really seems as If the
supply will, only with the great.
est difficulty, keep peace with the
future demand"
In response 10 the anxiety here
in expressed it may be at once
stated that there are no places in
the known world in which copper
properties exist in such large
quantities as throughout this south.
western region, more particularly
in Arizona, and only to lesser ex.
tent In Southern California. Ari.
zona already stands third among
the great copperproducing sections
of the world, and is rapidly reach
ing first place. To which may be
added that no where in this world
are to be found copper properties
of an equally high percentage, still
awaiting development, as in Ari'
zona. British capitalists seeking

SHOULD NOT COMPROMISE.

Four years ago the Board of

from about 1900 head of cattle to
$4,000 head. The company refus-

ed. The company then appealed
to the Supreme Court Of the Unit,
ed States, where the case is still
pending.
Lately we understand there has
been talk of a compromise between
the Board and the company, fix
ing the number of cattle at about
10000 head.
When the company was raised
to $4,000 head the Board undoubt
sdly acted advisedly in the matter
and had reliable information il
the matter, a fact which has beer
proven by the decisions of th'
courts. We do not believe tha
tho Board at that time acted blind
| ly. All information so far obtain
able goes to prove that the com
pany have $4,000 head of cattle
and If they have they should un
doubtedly pay taxes on tha
amount.
Under these conditions W,
should say that compromise il
not justifable. The county ha
beaten the case at every step, ant
we think that the proper thing t,
do is to let the court of last resor
settle the matter once for all. N
compromise should be agreed to.
