A Thing of History.
The Flower Carnival of NJ IS, n,l
Valley is thing of history, hnt the
effect from q standpoint that benefits
the family of men is yet alive. AS
flowers are the incipient virtue of the
whole world, and among the utter
ances of the greatest of call poets' can
be- found those sentences where sun.
shine and stars, moon and earth;
among all other creations of provi-
dence have they associated the beauty
and mo iesty of the Almighty with the
hand of flowers, and when the great
Laureate" exclaimed: "There lies
. vale In Ida loveler than all the
val!ey Of 1nnian hills he doubtless
was comparing the modesty of woman
with the exquisite granduer of the
valleys Of Oriental nature, in whose
zones the tender fragrance of flowers
suffnses man with almost supreme
bliss
Flowers are striking symphonies of
all the romance the world ever knew,
and when the beautiful maiden of
Oxford, raised her melodious voice,
beyond the chatter and distinct out
crys of the cataract of singing birds,
In the following appropriate remarks:
Raise me a dais Of silk and down;
Hang it with hair and purple dyes;
Carve il in doves and pOmegrauates
And peacocks with q hundred eyes;
Work it in gold and silver grasses,
In leaves and silver feur-dslys,
Because the birthday of my life
Is come-because my love is come to me-"
She doubtless was associating her
supreme bliss, the romance of love"
with the gorgeous songs of the speech
less flowers, that joined to the love of
human nature carry all things not
unmovable, that are natural.
Thus the productiveness of the
recent display passed as it were into
history. 1t also shows that failure
under the leadership of woman" is
not an admitted possibility, and the
water thrower and mud singer can

REnEnBER OUR POLICY.

back to town. Now and then the face of
some one of them who has been absent
perhaps year, Is seen on the streets and
with each day OF this week they Will be
coming back In renewed and increased
numbers. IL Is these, more than anything
or anybody else, that have made the Old
town the rHght ard beautiful thing that
IL Is. They have brought their fresh young
faces and lighthearted chatter into many
homes, and their preseuce had served to
drive duh care away from the faces and
the hearts Of many anxious parents, who
have missed them and looked forward to
their Christmas homecoming since they
left In September.
SO that the homes Of the rich and the
moderately well TO do and even of the bet
ter circumstance poor are fu1 of Joy
and Christmas cheer. 1t is perhaps well to
remember though, that this happiness is
not universal throughout the ely and
that there are many homes where the sp.r-
II of Christmas will never come unless It
IS usheTed In by some good fairy. It is
well for The people of Savannah 10 reu en-
Der this and hat he whose birth Christ
mas commentaries has sad, 1T Is more
blessed TO give than 10 receive"
The poor OF the city have been well look
ed after on previous Christmas days and
IL is a fair suppOsition that ample pre-
parations of this character will be made
for the next. The union OF Kings Daugh-
tiers have in preparation Christmas tree,
with appropriate ACCOMPANYING nts OF carol
and song, for he children Of the day nurs-
cry, on Henry and West Broad streets
The treasurer of the union, Miss Vloda

Christmas offerings 10 these poor children
at her residence, 3i9 Broughton street

No Fear when Death Draws Nigh.

From the Philadelphia Record.
II have seen thousands OF persons die
under all sorts Of circumstances, and never
yet have I seen one display the slightest
fear Of DEATH This remarkable statement
was made the other day by a physician
who has practlced many years in PhiIa-
delphia, and who has seen a great deal OF
hospital service.
1T is a popular fallaey," he went on,
TO imagine that deathbed scene is ever
terrible. other than as a parting between
loved ones. The fear Of the unknown is
never present at the last. Even amid ig-
norance and vice l have never experienced
such scenes as a novelist. who strives af-
ter realism, will sometimes picture.
When a patient is told that he cannot
recover and the end is near, he invariably
seems resigned to his fate and his only
thought seems TO be of those who are to
be left behind This Is true alike of men
ana women.
Those who become hysterical and de-
clare they are not TT to die are the ones
who are not as III as they think they are.
They always get well

know that there Is any. It's just a human

CHRISTMAS wITH THE FLYERS.
Three-Dnys' Meeting at Thunder
bolt Driving Park.

The admirers of good running races will
have chance Christmas week to witness
some stirring events at the Thunderbolt
Driving Park A. P. Doyle's card for his
three days meeting includes several run
ming events, and there will be a lively
string at the track for the holidays.
Manager Doyle has been erecting new
stables all the week for the accommoda-
ton of the visiting horsemen. Sixty thor
oughbreds are expected to arrive this week
to start in the various races. This will
insure large fields in every event.
Charleston viii send four stables. Capt.
J. P. Roach, DR.. Messerry, George Dem
mis- and James Reedy are well known
horsemen and some lively sprinters can be
expected from the City by the Sea.
E. II. Frost viii be here from Columbia
and bring at least four good ones Col.
L. Pitman of Athens Ga, will bring the
fast ones of his string. Sam IT, Finley of
Atlanta intends to start his stable in the
events, also John Gehan Of Cincinnati,
who has several cracks from the Western
tracks Old Henry Black has written for
stall room. Salome is in the Black stable.
and she is in superb condition. This little
mare has made a good record for herse. f
through the Southern circuit. L. a. Mas
sart has three in his string, and they are
now at the track, preparing for the events
Christmas week.
There will be harness race each day,
and Manager Doyle expects at least five
candidates in every class. There are
probably more fast harness horses here
than in any city in Georgia, and 1t will take
nothing less than star performances 10
win from the home candidates. Manager
Doyle invites the patrons of his park to
visit the track this week and see the fast
ones receive their workout brushes.

traction Christmas at matinee and night
performance 1t was the leading woman
of this company, it will be remembered
VINO killed the leading man during a per-
Torrance in Chattanooga several weeks
ago. The company was called off the road
until two leading people could be engaged
and rehearsed in their parts.
The Italian Grand Opera Company will
play an engagement of three nights dur
ing Christmas week, and "ZaZa," the
great play in which Mrs. Leslie Carter
so streng thened her reputation, will also
play during holiday week. The Little
Minister is booked for New Years day
and night.
jefferson DeAngelis, the comic opera
star, who was so long with De Wolf Hop
per and who starred with Della Fox and
Lillian Russell, has just been booked by
Manager Weis DeAngelis will be here
on Dec. 20 and will play The Jolly Mus
keteer." He is supported by strong COM
pany and the opera is a success.
David Belasco not only has proven that
he can write a play, but he has shown
that he can pick out from undeveloped
actors and actresses those who play the
parts he writes for them. Mrs. Leslie
Carter is the greatest example of Mr.. Be
lasco's power of discovering undeveloped
talent and developing IL; though there are
others now filling prominent places in the
eye of the public, who are indebted to Mr.
Belasco, his foresight, his ability as an
author and his patience as a teacher, for
the positions they now occupy. THE
Heart of Maryland promised much for
the future of Mr.. Belasco but hardly as
much and so quickly, as has come that
greatest of successes, ''Zaza," now in its
second season in the Garrick Theater, in
New York.
"A Fools Paradise" will be presented at
the Savannah Theater Jan. 2, and 4, un-
der the auspices of the Young Mems He
brew Association.
In a talk recently reference was made
10 very prominent comedian, and to the
fact that his first work was done with
minstrel company. There are some in
the profession" said Mr.. Wilson, who
seem to think that minstrel work Is mira
