BUSY AT CHRISTMAS TIME.
Express Company and Passenger De-
partments Have Plenty to Do.

Express Company and Passenger De-
partments Have Plenty to Do.
The Southern Express Company gets
very busy, indeed, along about Christmas
time. For several days before Christ
mas its rush grows gradually greater, the
countless presents passing TO and from
city demanding the hardest kind of work
from the express company's employees
In Savannah this Christmas brought
about as much rush as is usual. Last
Christmas was the busiest of all here, as
the soldiers were in camp, and were re-
celving boxes from home and other pres
ents by express. They were also sending
many packages away, and the ordinary
business was thereby greatly increased.
II is believed when the report of this
Christmas business is made up, it will
show that there was nothing about il,
considering that there were no soldiers
here, that could be calculated to displease
the officials of the company.
Railroads also have their business get
an impetus about Christmas time. That
Is moi noticeable about the freight business

passenger business it is different. All the

days and the result is that there is

Georgiaus who return from their adopted
homes for Christmas. Many have emigrat-

172 Years ola.

Founded by Benjamin Franklin, first
printed on a little hand press for a few
hundred struggling colonists, the satur-
day Evening Post has grown through 172
years of varying fortunes to a great cir
culation and a foremost place among
American magazines. IL has seen the
beginnings of our national life and liter
ature; 1t has always stood for the best in
both. A sturdy Americanism, high
ideal, constant striving for excellence
made il what II was. New blood. new
brains, tireless determination TO give It's
readers the best magazine that men and
money can make have placed It where
it is.
The Saturday Evening Post Is a maya
zine, not a news weekly; its appeal Is ma
tlonal, not local; Il contains twenty-four
pages every week and thlrty-two pages
with colored cover-once a month BY
early spring il will have thirty-two pages
with a colored cover-eVery week For
cents II gives as much In bulk. and more
in quality and variety, than the average
high-cost monthly.
For 1900 the management seems to have
captured most of the big writers of both
this country and Europe. II has just
published the latest story by Rudyard
ISipllng, and now 1t announces stories by
Richard Harding Davis, Joel Chandler
King. Sarah Grand. Ian Maciaren, Mar
ten Martens. Robert W. Chambers, Oc-
tave Thanet, T. Hopkinson Smith and
more than a dozen other leading writers
of fiction. The serials for the year will be
by Jerome X. Jerome Hall Caine, Gilbert
Parker and DR. Cyrus Townsend Brady.

CHURCH OF AscENsroN's TREES.
Took Two of Them for the sunday
school Children.

Took Two of Them for the Sunday
school Children.
One of the most original entertainments
of the Christmas season was given by the
children of The Lutheran Church of the
Ascension Sunday School last night. The
Sunday School room, below the church,
at State and Bull streets, was decorated
with evergreens and flags, and at the fur
thest end stood the two trees, laden with
candies, fruits and ornaments, and ablaze
with colored candles.
Behind the trees the American and Nor
wegian flags were draped gracefully, and
formed a charming background. Between
the trees was a manger, which was to re-
ceive the offerings of the children to be
sent to the orphan home supported by the
Lutheran Church, at Salem, Va. The pro-
gramme was a very delightful one, and
each number was well rendered. Among
some of the prettiest features was the
singing, by the infant class, each little girl
dressed in dark dress and nurses apron,
and carrying her doll babS oRJHRoek-a-
Bye, Baby" There are 30 children in the
infant class. and Mrs. Schaeffer and Mrs.
Outten have spared no pains in training
them. The recitation of Master Herman
Lang was very good indeed.
Upon the appearance of Santa Claus with
an immense pack fun of things for the
little ones at Southview Orphan Home,
the children sang Martin Luthers Manager
hymn, and following their visitor each
placed his or her Offering in the Manager.
Then as the school sang the Christmas
hymn, "Bethlehems Beautiful Star" the
star which had been stationary at the top
of one of the trees, slowly descended, and
stopped over the manager. Altogether this
Christmas celebration was one of the pref
test and most appropriate that has been
seen in Savannah this year.
The programme of exercises was as fol-
lows:
Merry Christmas Is Here" song by
Sunday School.
The Christmas Manager Song" infant
class
Hear the Angels Singing" Sunday
School.
"Rockabye Baby" girls of infant class,
dressed as nurses with infant dolls.
BELLS of Gladness" Sunday School
christmas Exercise by ten children
from intermediate class; also song of
"Bethlehem's Beautiful Star"
Recitation, 1.-The Dream Star" by Her.
man Lang.
Ping the Bells" Sunday School,
Remember the Orphan" by the infant
class. This was recitation. The children
then followed Santa Claus and placed
~ents in crib at the foot of the
Christmas tree for the Lutheran orphans

Handy Holmes and Wesley Dias. both
colored became involved in a difficulty
yesterday morning while at work unload

and Miners Line, and Holmes shot and
probably fatally wounded Dias.
Dias is what is known as the "header."
or boss of the gang in which Holmes work
ed and they. with the remainder of the
gang were working in what is known as
the tween decks, from which the only
exit 10 the main deck is by two short
ladders, each about twelve feet long.
The ship was being unloaded by

by donkey engine, and the loads being

of their possible swing is hazardous.
Holmes understood this danger. having
been hurt under similar circumstances
only last week, and according to his story.
when Dias ordered him to go up the ladder
he refused until the load that was then
being lifted should have cleared the hold.
Dias was impatient, however, and told
him to go at once or he would knock hi
out of him. Other angry words were pass
ed, and Holmes finally started UP the lad
der, but by this time Dias was thoroughly
eXasperated and when Holmes had gone
only few steps struck him with cotton
hook, which he held in his hand, and also
caught him around the waist.
Holmes released his hold on the ladder
and fell to the floor in stopping position.
and Dias catching him by the neck again
struck him with the hook, the mark of
which Holmes bears on his head Dias
also struck him the third time but wheth-
er before or after he had shot him Holmes
was not sure, as, feeling his life to be in
danger he, while still on the floor had pull
ed his pistol and without looking fired up-
ward, the ball striking Dias in the abdo-
men and giving him what is probably his
death wound.
After Holmes fired the shot Dias released
his hold on him and Holmes ran back into
the hold with Dias I'm close pursuit.
Holmes was arrested and sent to the
barracks and Dias was taken to the Geor-
gia Infrmary. At a late hour last night
he was not expected 10 recover.

Lucius Skrty, a negro, who lives al Ty

fatally wounded by Joseph Smith, who
keeps a grocery store and bar on the
island
The shooting is said, to have been acct
dental, and it was reported yesterday
that Skirty himself had made this state
ment. Details Of the affair are rather
meager, but from what can be gathered
il seems there were several men. among
whom was Skirty, in Smiths bar, and
that they were having a sort of general
frolic in which Smith himself took part.
He had the pistol in his hand, and in a
scuffle for its possession, it went off, the
ball striking Skirty in the lower left side
and going almost entirely through his
body. lodging under the skin near the
right hip.

FOUND DEAD IN HIS CELL.
Prisoner at County jail Expired
During the Night After Christmas.


During the Night After Christmas.
Ben Lacy, a negro prisoner at the county
Jail, was found dead in his cell when Il
was opened on yesterday morning. The
cause Of his death Is thought TO be heart
failure, as on Christmas evening he had
been in the apparent enjoyment Of his
usual health and spirits, and retired at
night without having given any indication
of I'D health.
Christmas day Lacy spent walking
about the corridors of the jail and In con-
versation with the turkeys and his fellow
prisoners. At o'clock he was locked In
his cell, and this was the last ever seen
of him alive. He made no complaint at
the time he retired, nor did any outcry or
other disturbance during the night testify
the fact that he had been attacked by a
stroke OF illness. He was quite dead
when his cell was opened In the morning,
and appeared 10 have expired some hours
before he was found.
Lacy was a man Of about s.. who was
awaiting trial on a charge OF burglary.
He ~ said 10 have entered the house Of
Mr. Il. .. Futch, and there seemed 10 be
little doubt OF his guilt Of the crime. Cor
oncr GOette Investigated the death. but
decided that an inquest was not necessary
or advisable. The body WAS buried az the
expense OF the county.

CONDUCT THAT CALLS FoR POLICE.

white Boys Who Make UnprOvOked
Attacks on CoIOred People.
People who pass through and along the
Park Extension believe that the police
should give their attention to the gangs
of white boys who congregate in the par
ade ground and in the streets and squares
and fire peppers and throw rocks at col
ored people. tt.j
The boys, as rule, are de-
Gently dressed and seemingly respectable,
but they are incipient toughs, and are sub
jects for the police to handle. Yesterday
AFTERNOON a gang of twenty or thirty of
these young rowdies on Whitaker street,
near Bolton, pelted q decent looking color
ed man who was walking along quietly,
and when gentleman demonstrated with
them they told him if he didn't lookout
they would do him the same way.
These unprovoked attacks on orderly COL
ored people are a reflection upon the de-
cency of the city, and ought to be stopped
by the strong hand of the law. 1t is not
only an outrage on the parties so treated,
hut it is calculated to make rowdies out
OF those who perpetrate them and lead on
to other criminal acts.
Just such behavior as this cost
a white boy his life few years
ago He, with a gang of boys, was
pelting a colored boy, when the latter drew
a pistol, and firing into the crowd, killed
one of them, and the boy who did the kill
ing, was never caught. There is only one
way to stop throwing bricks, fire crackers
or other missiles by boys, whether white
or black, and that is for the police to run
the m down and catch one or two of them.

After the dinner a pleasant hour was spent
listening to songs and recitations by the
men, and a short talk, appropriate to the
occasion, by Supt. Stevens, followed with
several prayers. and the entertainment
closed with the hymn, IAN Hail the Pow
