CHRISTMAS WITH THE SAILORS.
Jack Made the Most of the Day on
Land.

Jack Made the Most of the Day ON
Land.
The hardy sailors in Savannah, from all
lands. were not amo1g those who failed to
enjoy Christmas While the well wishes
for a Merry Christmas were extended by
thousands 10 their friends, it is safe to
say few appreciate morn genuinely the
satisfaction of being able 10 celebrate the
day than the men of the bounding seas.
The fact they represent more than one
religion gives an idea of the well nigh
universal observance Of the day.
DESTROYS of giving Jack a rest and
day of enjoyment. masters OF vessels di-
rected Sunday that yesterday be observed
as a holiday, and that the men be al
lowed to visit the city and entertain
themselves as they saw fit. Work was
generally suspended, therefore and with
his special apparel Jack began early to
find his way up to the city, which was
apparent from the large numbers seen in
all parts of the city. While the5 were
orderly, and managed to keep clear of the
police station house the seamen W ere stih
out for a jolly good time, and suCceeded
in having it.
The shipping was rugged out in national
colors, which gave he arbor a beautiful
appearance, and one which many persons
did not fail 10 see. Flags of all natio rs
flew from the tops of masts, and the spir4 =
of the day was observed about as web
as in any other part of the city Near
the foot of Barnard street is the light
house lender Armenia, which flew the ma
tional flags. About the Ocean Steamship
Company's dock were foreign steamships,
which also made an attractive display. 1t
was a sight we'll worth seeing
The big event for sailors wall come off
tonight at the Port Society building, when
a Christmas tree and a treat will be a
part of the programme of ent ertainment
Supt Iversen has been arranging for some
time 70 have something for the sailors in
port at this time, and judging from the
various useful contributions he has re-
ceived up 10 this time, the prospects for
his success are favorable. Some of the
things and in fact those which will be
most useful. and therefore most appreciat-
ed by the sailors, were made by hand by
ladies' who donated them to the superin-
tendent for distribution. Among these ar
ticles are scarfs, mufhers, caps and other
things all of which are made of the very
best material. The sailor who is lucky
enough TO get one of the large wooden
scarfs will be proud. because he will then
have an article which will be serviceable
and useful a lifetime. Gloves and other
wearing apparel win be distributed
The interior of the chapel hall Is being
decorated for the event. All sailors in port
are invited to attend, receive present
and partake of an excellent supper. con-
sisting of meats. fruits, hot coffee and
numerous other things. These will be
served hY the ladies. sEpt. Iversen ex
pressed rs warm appreciation for the
good work the ladies' have already done
ia aiding 10 make the treat a thorough
success from start to finish.

CHRISTMAS IN POLICE COURT.
seventy-Seven Prisoners Disposed of
and Many More To-day.

There were seventy-seven prisoners on
the police docket yesterday morning, when
the Recorder opened his court. They
were white. black and colored: the black
and colored being represented by both
sexes.
DRINKS and disorderiies predominated,
though there was quite a number up for
petty thefts. and other minor offenses.
One by one they came up and told their
tales of woe, and with ar imagination and
ingenuity worthy of a better cause, made
more or less relevant excuses for their
shortcomings. Drink was the reason Of
tenest given, and the average drunk SEEM
ed to think that this ought to cover null
titude of sins, and more than one was
dlsagreeably surprised to find that his
honor refused 90 consider IL a sufficient
excuse. They took things cheerfully, how
ever, and when they were fined, paid It,
II they had it, and if they didn't sat down
philosophically, and smiled cheerfully at
the next recruit to join their ranks.
Among the more serious cases that came
up was that of Fl. Hays. charged with
an attempt to murder T. j. Lanier. His
attorney waived an examination, and the
case viii go direct to the Superior Court.
The case Of John Dudley, who is under
arrest for a similar charge, was continued,
as T. L. Manette, the victim of his on
slaught, and the principal witness against
him, is still too weak to appear
Owen Stiles, negro, who might almost
be called a habitue of the prisoners dock,
was also up on the charge of threatening
to shoot David Grant, another colored
man. Owen was in a cheerful frame Of
mind Sunday as he walked along, and
thought of his ready cash and plans for
spending it, and So thoroughly enjoyable
did the prospect seem that when he met
Grant he fairly dubbed over and with a
"whoop Ia" informed Grant that he had
money to burn. Grant, who is not so
reckless suggested that rather than burn
ii he had better give it 10 him. I'm give
you this said Owen, showing a sixshoot-
er in his face, and then, Grant explained
to the court, being as I knowed that it
was Christmas times and bad niggers was
about, l thought he might shoot me, and
so had him arrested.
An almost equal number Of prisoners will
face his honor this morning as the hurry
Up wagons were extremely popular yester-
day and up TO midnight had
brought in about sixty law break
ers. The DRINKS of the pre-
vious day were probably wearing off and
leaving the original owners in anything
but pleasant state of mind and nerves
as. The more serious charges predominated
yesterday, assault with intent to murder
teing quite frequent, among them being a
number of attempts to shoot the arresting
officer.
Things quieted down shortly after mid
night and it is thought that the Christmas
rush is over.

ATE CHRISTMAS DINNERS.
At Homes, Hotels and Restaurants
They Were Thoroughly Enjoyed.


Christmas without a Christmas dinner
would be no Christmas at all, fact that
is so thoroughly understood that none
who can afford 10 have something extra
on their tables allow the day to pass with
out enjoying it. From the humblest home
to the graudest this custom extends. and
nearly everybody in Savannah had some
special Christmas cheer.
Dinners in private families were. in most
cases, very elaborate. To many homes
the floating population was invited,
friends inviting representatives of the
considerable class that boards oil about to
dine with them en- famille. The accept
ance of these invitations was gladly given
and in no wise regretted when those to
whom they were extended were engaged
in the pleasant discussion of the excel
lent dinners prepared.
At The hotels and restaurants the dinners
were all that could have been desired. TIE
guests Jared we'll the chefs having put
forth their hest efforts and prepared the
choicest products of the market with
skill that would have ravished the heart
Of Epicurus himself who could have ask
Cd nothing more than to partake OF the
array Of gooi things that were Offered.
Salvatore La Mamma is the chef de cut
sine at the De Soto and il was 10 him
that the many guests who dined there
were indebted for the dinner. This en-
braced everything that could be thought
of. and the service was in perfect keeping
with the dinner.
AZ The Pulaski Mine Host Graham sus-
tanned mis- reputation for Christmas din
ners, and many said he eclipsed it. II is
invariably the case that some are heard
TO say ibis at Christmas, for every special
dinner Charlie Graham gives seems to be
better han the last. Though given up 20
be past master, it still seems that lie
mus be constantly improving.
Mr.. Dub and the Screven House are al
ways popular. None bestow more efforts
upon Chris mas dinners than he, and <here
are many who go TO the Screven once a
ye1r for that for which Mr.. Dub has
grown to be famous.
The Planters Hotel and the Marshal
House were right in line. The manage
ment of both houses displayed ability in
catering TO Christmas tastes, and those
who dined at those obstetrics had no rea-
son for complaint.
Mr. Robert NJ. Hicks changed his usual
dinner hour from 2 to o'clo,k. He would
not say il was for that reason. but his
guests. and they were many, as all want
to 20 to Hicks on Christmas, were in
clined 10 believe that 1t must have re-
duired about four hours of extra prepara-
ton for the dinner that was served. For
several days he had advertised what his
friends and guests might expect, and the
result was just what might have been an
ticipated. His restaurant was crowded
by those who had come, attracted by the
elegant menu.
Mr. D. H. Bythewood's st. Julian street
restaurant was in on the Christmas deal
His patrons were thoroughly pleased with
his efforts in their behalf.

CAME TO AN AGREEMENT.
Osborne and McDermott Reconcile
Their Differences.

Christmas week has been characterized
by a reconciliation between two of the
most pronounced political enemies that
have existed in Savannah. Solicitor Gen
eraI W. W. Osborne and ex-Chief of Po-
lice Frank McDermott have made up their
differences and now trot politically in COM
pany.
The story that is being told about the
streets has 1t that few days ago Mr.. Nc
Dermott sent to Mr.. Osborne and tod him
that he wanted to make up with him. He
had found it Improbable to keep away
from the solicitor general, nor had he OBJ
served any very large showers of political
plums coming his way since the occasion
of their first quarrel, and hence his desire
for a reconcilement of their differences.
In answer to Mr.. McDermott's message
of inquiry the solicitor general sent word
that he would be glad to see the ex-chief
of police and a conference resulted. Its
eliminating feature was an agreement be-
tween Mr. Osborne and Mr.. NcDermott
that in the future they would aid each
other politically, and that whatever they
could do for each other would be done.
The solicitor. general made it plain, how
ever, that he was friend of Superintend-
ent of Police Screven and that no political
aspira TONS that Mr.. MeDermott might
have that contemplated the retirement of
Capt. Screven from the Office he now oc-
cupies would receive his countenance or
support.
The reconciliation between Mr.. Osborne
and Mr.. McDermott is the most notable
political event that has taken place in Sa-
vannah for many months. The fact of
the matter is Mr.. Osborne has done more
TO defeat the political aspirations of his
present political ally and friend than any
man in the city and Mr.. McDermott has
hated the solicitor general accordingly.
That they. have succeeded in making up
their differences is but a further indica-
ton of the fact that politics makes
strange bedfellows.
The political alliance thus consummated
changes the whole political situation in
Savannah Mr.. McDermott yields an in
huence that il is impossible to ignore, and
when ii is eXerted in favor of the politi-
cal faction that the solicitor general up
holds its effect is sure to be very evident
On the other hand, it is understood that
| should Mr.. McDermott be a candidate for
an office, he is to receive the support of
the solicitor general. This agreement
| includes the understanding, though, that
| Mr.. McDermott shall not seek to become
superintendent of police. There is a pos
! sibility that the office of chief of detec-
! tives win be created and conferred on
| him.
