Mrs. Isabel Wing Lake and Mrs. DR..
Carolyn Geisel were very well pleased with
the interest and enthusiasm shown by the
ladies' who met yesterday afternoon iii
the parlors of the home OF Mrs. Webb No
11S Oglethorpe avenue, west. The gospel
temperance and social purity work in
which the ladies are engaged appealed to
those at the meeting. and they will give
their assistance.
A gospel temperance meeting was held
last night at the han Of the White Ribbon
Mission on Broughton street. Tomorrow
afternoon at 1870 o'clock at Mrs. Webb's
there will be another meeting 10 which all
women are invited.
To-day Mrs. Lake and Mrs. Geisef will

rainfall and the river flow. The rainfall

This will cut a very considerable figure in

In a general way the plan proposed for
the route across Nicaragua is to cut a ca
nal from Greytown harbor TO the San Ju-

The course of the San Juan river will be
used to Lake Nicaragua, a splendid body
of inland water. From the lake it will be
necessary to excavate canal to the Pa

canal. This is not only for the protection
Of its property and the preservat ton of or

ORIOLES COMING THIS WEEK.
VIII Come in Charge of "scrappy"
John McGraw.


John McGrav.
The Baltimore base ball team, under the
management of ''Scrappy" John McGraw
and comprising twenty players, will reach
the city some time Thursday. Mr. Muir
ray Stewart. of the local baseball asso-
citation, has received Information of the
coming of the orioles from President Ed
ward Haulon. The team viii remain in
Savannah certainly for three weeks and
possibly for a longer time.
The grounds al the Bolton street park
have been put in thoroughly good condi-
ton for the practice and exhibition games
of the Baltimore team These
will begin within four or
five days after the team
reaches here and the men
have had chance to lin
Der up and recover from the effects of the
inactivity of The winter months. All of
the suggested change and improvements
in the arrangement and facilities of the
grounds have been made and they are
now in fit shape for the practice work of
the Baltimores and for the games It is
hoped and expected viii be played by a
local during the spring and early sum-
mer. The only additional work that Is vet
to be done is the roofing. of the grand
stand, which will be deferred until warm
er weather. It is expected that there will
be some cold days during the time the
baltimore5 are playing here, aud that on
these occasions che sun will nol prove
dlsagreeabie to The spectators, but on the
contrary will afford a grateful warmth.
The diamond had been inlaid with clay
and well rolled. 1t is in fine condition and
good enough for any team to play on.
Everything possible has been done to
make the visitors pleased and satisfied
with the advantages offered by Savannah
as training ground for the team and TO
encourage their coming again in future
years.
Mr.. Stewart is now in correspondence
with gentlemen interested in the national
sport in the cities of Atlanta, Charleston
Augusta, Macon and Columbus. with a
view to the organization among these cit
les and Savannah of a four or six-club
league. While the project is yet In it's
infancy and nothing has been decided
upon definitely Ii is looked upon encour-
agingly by its promoters, and it is hoped
will become a success. The scheme is the
one that has before been fully described
in the Morning News, and its character
istic features and the ones relied upon to
make il a success are low salary list
and short jumps between the cities com
posing the league.
On March 30 the Boston Boomers a base
ball team composed OF girls and young
women, will play the orioles. The game
will take place at night and under the
blaze of electric lights The team is said
to be good one, and has defeated strong

Lieut.. Pritchard Instructed the
Troop in Mounting.

The Georgia Hussars were instructed
last night in exercises of mounting and
dismounting by Lieut.. G. B. Pritchard,
Jr., of the Ninth Cavalry. The practice
was in the vacant lot at Charlton and
Drayton streets. Some of the Hussars
showed quickness agility and likelihood
of becoming experts if they continue the
practice. There were four horses for the
troopers, and they were jumped upon and
treated in a way they probably thought
very strange.
A good time was had by the Hussars,
who appreciated the instruction and the
exhibition was also enjoyed by a crowd
that collected on the sidewalks and held
on to the fence to get a view. There were
some ludicrous mishaps, but they were
taken good-naturedly, and the men SEEM
ed honestly disposed to get all the posi-
bic good out of the practice.
