ed Capt. John Riley, who had been laid
to rest only four days before The coffin
was covered with a United States flag and
the Grand Army emblem.
The floral decorations were very beauti-
fun and SO numerous that all could not be
placed upon the grave. AS testimony Of
the life long friendship of the two who
were at rest together several of the en-
1iems intended for DIR. stones grave were
placed upon that of Capt. Riley
The majority of those who were present
at the house accompanied the BODY to the
cemetery, the attendance there being I'M
usually large. The pail bearers were

CHARGED WITH MURDER.
G. c. Hall of BuIIOch County Held for
killing His Father-in-Lavv.

Gs y. HaiI OF buIIoch county HELD Tor
Killing His Father-in-Lnw.
Sheriff ]. H. Donaldson of Bulloch coun-
ty arrived In the city last night in charge
of G. c. Hall, who was placed in the Chat
ham county Jail for safe keeping.
Hall is held for the murder of his father
in-law, Manen Kicklighter The killing
occurred on the night of Nov. 20. Mr.
Kicklighter was a we'll known farmer and
citizen of Bulloch county. He had finish
ed his supper and walked out into his yard
when he was shot down, a load of buck
shot passing through his head and face
and killing him instantly. From powder
marks on the window and other indica-
tons the conclusion was that he was shot
from his own diningroom at distance of
about ten feet
Hall was suspected at once He had
been living with his father-in-law, but
was not on the best of terms with him and
had been notified to move. The old man
was a widower and was reputed to have
considerable property. 1t was known that
he intended marrying again shortly. These
and other circumstances raised a very
strong suspicion against Hall. 1t was
known that he had made statements to
other parties that he was afraid his father
ln-laW Woulu De kll4eu ana also that he
was afraid the old man would kill himself
Hall was arrested and lodged in Jail
at Statesboro. The fact that he did not
demand a preliminary hearing until he
had been in jail thirty or forty days was
considered another circumstance against
him. Only circumstancial evidence was
introduced at the preliminary hearing, but
Hail was bound over to the Superior Court
on the charge of murder. The Jail at
Statesboro being small and crowded and
Hall being in i'll health it was decided 10
bring him to Savannah where he could
be more comfortably provided for.

HAVE NOT Thrown UP THE work.
Contractors Are Sticking TO the
ARMY Hospital.

Army Hospital.
A report was heard yesterday that
Messrs w. F. May & Co, contractors.
had given up the work on the army hospi-
tai. Mr.. Matt Nesseller, architect for the
contracting firm, was seen with. regard 10
the report. He said there was no truth
IN it; that the firm has not given up it's
contract, and does not intend to do so.
Mr.. Nesseller said il would be manifest.y
absurd for the firm to throw up its con-
tract now, when the work is almost com.
pleted. He could not understand, he said
how the report could have originated.
Several times It has been stated that
the hospital buildings could be turned over
TO the government as completed within
two weeks, but there have been DELAYS in
the work that have made IL impossible
for the hopes Of the contractors and thosa
connected with the work 70 he realized
in this particular. 1t Is stated positively
now, however, that everything viii he
finished within this time This time limit
IS given in so far as the contractors are
concerned There may be some DELAY IN
the sewer work. with which they have
nothing to do that will prevent the occu-
pancy of the buildings for hospital pur-
poses as soon as they are finished The

Broadway Theatre. New York.

The Three Dragons is the title of the
new comic opera written by Reginald de
Koven and Harry B. Smith for the Broad
way Theatre Opera Company, TO be pro-
duced at that playhouse January 80. De
Koven hi Smith have collaborated with
great success for several years, their
robin Hood" and s'The Highwayman''
being regarded as among the best exam
pies of pure comic opera that have ever
been produced. 1.-THE Highwayman was
written on the order of Manager Andrew
A. Mccormack for the Broadway Theatre
Opera Company as the debut piece of that
organization. 1t yielded great returns and
was so generally satisfactory that its au-
thors were elected for a second time to
furnish an opera suited to the talents of
the company. In 1.-THE Three Dragons"
de Koven and Smith declare that they
have literally spread themselves, and
those who lave been attending the re-
hearsals say that the brightness Of the
music and book will totally eclipse their
previous brilliant triumphs. The theme is
a thoroughly original one and has no ST.
Multitude to anything heretofore written.
The company has won a foremost place
among comic opera stock organizations,
its PRINCIPALS having been selected from
the most eminent lyric material of this
country and England.

| sicians of every school prescribe Paine's
celery compound in preference to n

Because it has prolonged the lives of
thousands of sufferers; it has made their
sick patients well.
The best test that can be applied to
Paine's celery compound is to use it.
If one is run down., feels without en-
ergy, ~1ifeless, useless, ~fretful, take this
great remedy and note the change.
In it's peculiar ability to at once invig-
crate the body, to make new blood and to
regulate the nerves, lies the great value
of Paine's celery compound in all wasting
diseases and disorders Of the kidneys, 1iv-
er and stomach.
A neglected complaint, though slight at
the beginning may through neglect cause
a lifetime of misery. The ringing in the
ears, the backache or the general debility
unless the body is braced up again, may
teach one by bitter experience hat dis
ease can creep through very small holes.
Paine's celery compound ~stipedlates the
kidneys, improves the appetite and diges-

nutrition of the nerves and organs with
the result that the whole body takes on
flesh and color-the sureSt indication of

way in their efforts to develop those
qualities to the highest degree.


1t is high time tina some n in this
State organized a Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Condemned Murder
ers and obtained the passage of laws in
ficting severe penalties upon those no.
toriety seeking lawyers who torture the
condemned unfortunates with their writs
and appeals.
1t is the custom nowadays, when the
poor wretch has liked his mind entirely
upon his doom and the next world, for
some lawyer to obtain a stay of execution
with an appeal on frivolous grounds and
inspire the condemned with a false hope.
The upper court, of course. dismisses the
appeal n again the murderer is in the
depths of despair. Then the lawyer goes
over the same process again and again,
torturing the condemned man so between
hope and fear that he is liable to be
driven to insanity.
If there were any reasonable chance of
saving the condemned mans life, it would
be another thing; but even the hippo
droming lawyers themselves know that
the result of their quibbling tactics is a
foregone conclusion.

Star Theatre. New York.

At the Star Theatre. next week the at
traction is Franklin Fyles successful
drama Cumberland '61.'' 1t is d romantic
war drama, exceedingly thrilling and ex-
citing, keeping the interest throughout to
the very highest tension. Adventure,
fighting, manly words and deeds-all cam
not help but arouse the enthusiasm IN the
most sluggish veins. The play is a most
magnificent scenic production. Each act
has it's picturesque scene; three of the
most interesting and striking of all being
those of the old Kentucky church ruined
by shot and shell, the Ainsley home, and
the burning village. A fair maiden and
two lovers, one a hero and the other a vii
lain, are the chief characters in the play,
around which congregate and centre a
score of lesser characters, more or less
e%ssentia to its successful rendering. Its
consistency, It's novel features and its
story, together with the fact that it deals
with the most Characteristic, romantic,
and thrilling features of life in the Blue
Grass Region, are the underlying claims

Why do the ablest physicians in Amer
lea openly prescribe, use and recommend
Paine's celery compound?
First, because Paine's celery compound
is not a patent medicine. 1t is not the dis
covery of some quack doctor of whom his
profession never heard; it is not a concoc-
ton put up by some man who first in
vented a name. and then adopted a prep
aration to fit it. and it is not a secret
remedy.
But it is, first, the result of the lifelong
study of the greatest physician America
has produced, a man whose reputation
was world wide before he had ever ar
rived at this wonderful formula; a man
who has received the highest degrees from
the best colleges, who was at the tim of
his great discovery a professor of Dart
mouth and a lecturer in other universe
