SOME OF THE HEROES OF PEACE.
Savannah Life savers Acts Described
by Gustav Kobhe.

by Gustav KObbe.
The heroes Of peace are oftentimes great
err than the heroes Of war. Hardly day
passes that the columns of the newspapers
do not contain the record Of some act OBJ
scure in comparison with those on the
firing line that merits more of the plaudits
OF the world than bravery In the bayonet
charge.
| In recent article in the Century Mag
agine on Heroes OF Peace" Gus av Kobbe
tells of the acts OF volunteer life savers
that appeal more TO the sympathy
and the hearts of the people than do
those in almost any other phase of life.
IN his article Mr.. Kobbe refers to two
Savannahians who hold first-class govern
rnent medals for life saving, Capt W. q.
Lee. United States inspector OF steam
boats and DR.. ST. j. b. Graham, former
| ly in charge of the Savannah quarantine
station. Capt. Lee has a record In the
/ treasury department Of having at various
times r. scued foure en- people from di own
ing He was awarded the first medal
given by the late Secretary Carlisle and
also received from the Secretary a high
ly commendatory letter upon his heroic
conduct The medal he prizes as a
memento of his days on the steamboat
deck. One of his typical feats of hero
1T was the rescue Of a 14-year-old girl
and her brother who at half past 10
o'clock at night fell from an excursion
steamer In Tybee roads. Lee did not
learn Of the boys danger until he ha1
swum to tie gangway with the girl and
been hauled aboard. He at once plunged
back again. II was intensely dark an !
only a break In the trimming OF the sea
told where the child was. Reaching the
little fellow just as he was sinking. Lee
grasped him, swan with him back 10 tbs
steamer, and restored him TO his almost
distract mother"
The rescue H. remembered by many Sa-
vannahians. II took place on the o sca-
sion OF a picnic by the ST. Patrlcks' Il.
A. and y. Society IN 1881 and Capt Lee
has on the wallis Of his Office In the ctls-
tom house a testimonial given him by the
officers OF tho society and tho citizens for
his brave aet. A number Of hts other res
cues were made on The ~ 1ehre river
Florida.

his daring ana bravery ia tbo rescue ~ 4

GAME IS VERY PLENTIFUL.
Deer and QuaiI Are to he Found
Easily In Surrounding Counffes

Easily In Surrounding Counties.
A number of parties have already been
arranged to spend Christmas in the coun-
try, hunting and shooting deer and quail.
The reports of those who have been out
in pursuit of game show ii to be plentiful
and the sporting enthusiasm of the peo-
pie of Savannah has been accentuated
a hundred per cent.
The season for game appears to be an
unusually favorable one, and there are con-
slant reports OF the success that has at
tended the expedition of one party or an
other. After making all the allowances
that are proper in the tales told by sports
men, It still appears that game is ex-
ceedingly Plentiful, and that there is no
difficulty in finding it when the huntsmen
are determined. Some of the local en-
thusiasts will spend the holidays in search
of deer while others, whom lesser game
contents, will seek to find quail and doves
in the counties surrounding Savannah.

CADETS AND GUARDS GAME.
VIII Play Fourth Game of Indoor
Ball Series.

The fourth game In the indoor baseball
series will be played Thursday night be.
tween the Guards an the Cadets. This
will be a battle royal for second place
in the race, the Y. M. H. A. boys hav-
ing secured first position by winning two
games last week.
The Improvement In the playing of the
Guards was very noticeable In the game
last Thursday and proves the prediction
made last week that they will yet prove
a factor in the race. Germany pitched a
good game from start to finish, and for
a while had his opponents worried.
The Cadets will play practically the
same team as that of last Tuesday. Their
battery will be Elton and Sullivan.

The people of Savannah are noted for
their readiness to appreciate meritorious
work and are quick to cast aside those
who attempt to impose upon them. The
Quaker Doctor has been In Savannah
nearly a year and the work he has done
and the wonderful cures that ne has made
has gained for him the unstinted praise
good will and Endorsement of every fair
minded person in this city. His meritori-
GUS treatment of the sick and afflicted
has made for him reputation never ell
ioyed by any other physician The Quaker
Doctor has cured many people in this
city whose condition had been such that
physicians had pronounced their cases
hopeless and their friends had given them
up as being beyond human aid.
Thousands of testimonials have been
rendered the Quaker Doctor by persons
who nave been under his treatment and
feel grateful for their timely rescue from
death. These testimonials were from peo-
pie wen known and prominent In the city,
and those that we have been given per-
mission to publish were only specimens
Of the many hundreds that were received.
Mr.. John ID. Charlton, one of the best
known gentlemen in Savannah, was a suf-
ferer for many years from neuralgia and
nervous prostitution and after short
course of the Quaker Doctors electrical
treatment he tells the public that he has
improved wonderfully and Is nearing a
complete restoration to health.
No one in Savannah is more popular
and no one has more friends than Mr..
Harry Lemcke, the genial clever registry
clerk at the postofiice, and to them II
was source of great pleasure to have
him say that the Quaker Doctor had ap-
piled a treatment to his case that re-
suited In cure when he was practically
on the brink of the grave.
MRS. NJ. l.. HANNAH's LETTER.
Mrs. NJ l.. Hannah, an estlmable lady
of Harvile Ga, writes: Il have been
under the treatment of the Quaker Doc
tor by mail only few weeks, and al
though / have been a sufferer for over
twelve years, he has benefited me won
derfully in this short time while all the
other doctors and medicines that have
tried failed to give me the least relief
certainly feel grateful to him for this,
and will try to impress upon all suf-
ferers from disease the Importance of
securing his treatment
Mrs. M. L. Hannah.
The Quaker Doctor, besides having his
offices crowded every day is also treat
ing many patients who reside in the
country. His system OF sending symptom
blanks 90 those who request them and d.
agnosng the disease from the answers
they send has proven wonderfully sue
cessful, and the results that patients have
obtained from this system of treatment
has been marvellous indeed.

success of the century. This may seem
TO be a very strong assertion. Ii is The

kind of success at all and plays for any
length of time in New York. and other
large cities, TO announce phenomenal runs,
but in the case of ''Tne Little Minister"
which was seen for 800 nights in New
York, and every one of the performances
to audiences that crowded the theaters
to the doors. The success claimed is an
assured fact, and one easily TO be obtained
The same success has followed it since
II was seen in New York. The business
everywhere has been TO the capacity OF
the theaters The company that will
present the comedy here is one OF Charles
Frohmans. and is a cast, fully able to
portray the very difficult characters that
have been so beautifully drawn by J. NJ
Barrie author of the novel, and who also
made the adaptation of the book. into a
play. II gives us great pleasure to be able
to promise that we believe our theater-
goers are going to appreciate the oppor-
tunity given them, and that the theater

Christmas week at the theater promises
to he one of the best of the season. There
will be five nights and three matinee per
formances, and it is seldom that so many
strong attractions are punched in one
week
Mr. Plaster of Paris" which will open
the week, is a farce from the French, well
spoken of. The engagement of the Italian
Opera Company is one which has been
looked forward TO with much pleasure,
particularly by lovers of classical music.
After the Italian opera comes Jeff De
Angels in THE Jolly Musketeer." This
is the strongest and best comic opera
organization now travelling in this country
and there Is no neSlLdncy IN saying that
the show will be a fine one.
"Zaza" will be presented at a matinee
and night performance by one of Froh-
mans companies, and this is enough to
give a feeling of assurance that the great
play will be well produced.
Mr. Plaster of Paris is one of the lat
est devices written to make people laugh:
also to make money. It was written by
a Frenchman of optimistic views who 10 ks

He is said to have woven into the farce
original and funny situations that serve
TO keep one amused and entertained from
the rise of the curtain to it's fall.
The successes of the play in Paris led
to the American adaptation, and it is
claimed that nothing has been lost in the
translation.
The operate event of the season win
probably be the engagement of lombard

soprano, joined the Lambardi Company.
In fact, she made her debut in grand
opera in that city. That was four years
ago. She is but 20 years old, but is the
possessor of a voice of such rare strength
and purity that is nothing short of mar
