TO SWELL THE FRESH AIR FUND.
Froebel Circle Pleased With the
Meeting Yesterday,

A meeting of those interested in the
plan to give the poor children of the city
an outing at Tybee was held yesterday
afternoon at the Guards hall, and those
who take the principal parts in the work
felt greatly encouraged in their efforts. A
subscription Est was started, and ran I'D to
quite nice sum for such short while.
The ladies' of Froebel Circle of Kings
Daughters are managing the undertaking.
They want at least $500, which was the
sum they expended last summer, and they
believe they viii get more than thai. When
the work was begun last spring the pros
poets were not so bright as now, and IL is
argured from that that a more successfuf
season may be had.
Representatives of all the churches were
at the meeting, and 1t was decided TO an
point committees from the congregations
to work their particular churches in the
interest of the fund. Rev j l.. Scullv was
present and guaranteed the support of 81
Pauls for the undertaking. He exnressed
himself as thoroughly In harmony with n
and promised his strongest support Mr.
s. b. Adams was also ..resent ana an
nounced the purpose of the meeting and
spoke of what the ladies had accomplished
last summer.
Fifty children were given week at rv

rented and matron and assistant en-.
gagged. The little ones can be maintained at
but slight cost, 81. 80 being enough 10 in

A LITTLE TALK ON BUTTERINE.
Some Points That VIII Knock Out
So-CnIIed Creamery.

The growing tendency in this district
to use only the higher grades of butterine
is very pleasing, and the indications are
that people, approaching the value of high
grade butterine as a table butter, are de-
handing the best grades.
My Special and "Elgin" brands need
no further recommendation to those who
once try them. You will hear no com
plant. No goods ever placed on the public
market stand the test as they do.
There is no disappointment, such as
families have to contend with when thew
buy butter that Is produced in the finest
creameries. You know some of the uncer-
tainties; sometimes it lacks color. ofttimes
too much salt; again too little salt is com
planned of; with warm weather it becomes
rancid, and surely nothing placed on the
table is so offensive as rancid butter.
How different with good butterine. such
as 1 can supply you with. Always sweet
of splendid flavor and of elegant appear
ance. 1t pleases all who use it and gives a
satisfaction TO every family putting II on
the table. II. Logan, the Butcher.-ad.

WILL HAVE ITS ANNUAL BANQUET.
Special Meeting of the University
Club Last Night.

A special meeting of the University
Club was held last night at the office OF
Messrs. Denmark, Adams & Freeman.
There was a very good attendance Of
members, the younger graduates showing
up In greater number than has usually
been The case at the meetings of the club.
Mr.. w. L. Clay, in the absence of the
president, Col John screven. presided.
The business for which the meeting was
called was the preparation for the ban
quet given annually by the club. 1t was
decided that the president appoint COM
mittee OF three to make all arrangements
for the banquet, which, according to the
bylaws of the organization, will be held
the night of April %.
The secretary informed the members
that Mr. Edward BIanucy, a young gen
tleman who pursued his studies at the
university for more than year, assisted
by loans from the club, had left the IN
stitution. Only one young man is now
In the university as a beneficiary or the

ing young men. The conditions are that
students who are helped by the club nave
to give their due bills for amounts re-
oeived, and these they make good at their
earliest convenience after leaving college.
The club has had three young men at the
university, all of whom have reflected
credit upon those who rendered their as
sistance. The first who was helped to
pursue his studies at the institution re-
paid the club the amount borrowed with
in an astonishingly short time. Reports
indicate that the young man now at the
university is making good progress and
taking high stand in his classes.

no sToP STREET SKATING.
Police to Run the Roller Skaters or
the Asphalt.

The police have received orders to en-
force the city ordinance prohibiting roller
skating upon the roadways of the streets
that are paved with asphalt and in the
future indulgence in this sport, which has
lately become so popular among the child
rem, will not be permitted. The smooth
surface Of the asphalt offers the only place
in Savannah where roller skating is pos
sible and the police now have Instructions
to prevent its being used for this purpose.
OF late years the ordinance has not been
enforced and skating on the streets has
been freely permitted. 1t was apparently
a harmless pastiTne and it Is probable has
been ordered stopped more on account of
the accidents that were likely to happen
to the children themselves than because
of any damage they were likely to do the
pavements. The fact that the asphalted
streets are those most in use by vehicles
and bicycles make them somewhat danger
Gus to the youthful skaters.
The ordinance attaches to q violation of
Its provisions a fine of not exceeding $25
or Imprisonment not exceeding ten davs
The lovers of roller skating in Savannah
will scarcely care to face the Recorder
with the prospect of such punishment and
it is likely that until the enforcement of
the ordinance again becomes dormant the
skaters will vanish from the streets AS
there is no rink In the city or other place
where the sport may be INDUCED In this
means a suspension of roller skating in
Savannah until the ordinance is repealed
or is again suffered to sleep.

PLANS FOR AN AUDITORIUM
Architect CObb's Views on a Build
ing for Savannah.

Architect CObb's Views on a Build
ing for Savannah.
Mr.. Oscar Cobb of Chicago. of the firm
of Oscar Cobb & Son, architects. is in
Savannah on his way home from visit
to Florida. Mr. Cobb is the architect of
a number of theaters, hotels and audi
toriums and learning that it was contem-
plated erecting an auditorium here he
called on some of those interested in the
enterprise and gave them some hints on
the subject.
Mr.. Cobb thinks Savannah should have
a large building for conventions. but his
idea Is that a building with a capacity
for seating 1900 people would be large
enough for this city or one twice its size,
and even that size Is too large if it is
intended that 1t should be used as a the
alter.
on this point, Mr.. Cobb sug-
gested. that the auditorium should
be so constructed that it would
have a sliding division, or partition,
which, when the place is not used for
large conventions, its area could be re-
duced so as 20 make it suitable for the
atrlcal, operate or other performances.
He thinks that with the brick terra Gotta
and wood obtainable near Savannah, a
building covering about 100 by $50 feet
could be built for $4,000. MIR. Cobb's idea
Is that the building should be partly fire.
proof, that Is made so that it would not
burn quickly If 1t burns at all. Mr.. Cobb
came only TO stay a day, but he likes
Savannah so well that he will remain
for a week.

ron VIOLATING CITY ORDINANCES.
Plumbers on the Police Court Dock
ct To-day.

BY direction Of the board Of plumbing
examiners. which met at the city exchange
yesterday. inspector Cosgrove placed
Plumbers p. E. Masters, A. Ronider and
". L. Corbett on the docket for violating
the plumbing ordinance. They have been
cited 10 appear before the Recorder to-
day
Plumbers Corbett and Robider are
charged with violating section three in
not having the required license. It is stat
ed Mr. Corbett has a license, which he
received under the law exempdug eX-Con-
federate soldiers from taking out licenses
in cities. While this is not denied by In
spector CosgFove, he says that even II
Corbett avails himself of the Confeder-
ate exemption, he must stand and pass
the examination provided for by the ordi-
nance. This the city requires before
licenses are issued.
The section under which the plumbers
are held provides that il shall be unlawful
for any person not authorized under the
terms Of the ordinance 10 engage in the
plumbing business in Savannah, unless
such person is either himself so authorized
as a licensed plumber, or the employe CT
such person doing the work has been
licensed and authorized under the terms
of the ordinance.
Plumber Masters is charged with vO-
hating section seven, which requires that
a report be made of ali new work, or the
reconstruction of any old work. Repairs
of leaks, or other repairs which do not
lnvo.ve a change in style Of fixtures .he
sewerage, drainage or ventilation, are not
required to be reported 1t is stated Mr..
Masters did not report the fact he in
tended TO replace a water closet, and It Is
for this he is to answer The last SEN
tence of the section provides that Teplac-
ing a water closet is not Interpreted as re-
pairs.
While the plumbers cited to appear are
among the number who signed a petition
asking Council to con soldate the Office Of
plumbing inspector and inspector of the
water department., Inspector Cosgrove
does not want it understoo he is acting
from other motives than the strict and
impartial discharge of his duties. In
fact / was instructed by the board of
plumbing examiners to docket these men.
l reported them to the board, but 1t was
not until complaints had come to me from
citizens dissatisfied with work done al
their homes After an investigation ]
found the complaints were justified in
measure and that the plumbers who did
il had not complied with the conditions of
the ordinance. Citizens can only get the
benefit of the ordinance by it's strict and
impartial enforcement. Il is nonsense to
require part of the plumbers to comply
with the law, while others defiantly de-
cline to do So"
The Inspector has no feeling in the mat
ter. but there is friction with which he
has had to contend since he took charge
of the Office He hopes soon to have this
trouble removed
