DAUGHTERS CONVENE IN MAY.
Annual Convention for Georgia to BE
Held In savannah.

The annual convention Of the Kings
Daughters in Georgia will be held in this
city in May. The exact date has not
been decided upon II will be left largely
to the convenience of Mrs. Isabelle Davis,
national secretary OF the organization,
whose visit 10 Savannah three years ago
when the State Convention was held here,
will be recalled with great pleasure.
1t is not known just when Mrs Davis
itinerary will bring aer near Savannah,
and for this reason the local union of
Kings Daughters does not know what
date in May the convention Will be held.
Mrs. Davis will be written of the decision
TO leave the matter 10 her convenience,
and 1t is probable that the officers of the
savannah union VIII shortly be advised
of the date. They Will then begin corre-
spondence in the nope Of securing the
largest possible attendance.
The convention was held last year in
Macon and the year before in Augusta.
The time for Savannah 10 have it rolled
around quickly. When the convention as
sembled here three years ago insufficient
provision was made for the accommoda-
tion of the delegates and as large a crowd
as was expected dla not materialize. All
details of the entertainment of the visitors
will be seen to for this convention, and
it is believed that there will be a very
creditable ATTENDANCE and that the work
of the Daughters in Georgia will be great
ly benefited.

MAsoNs DISCUSS THEIR FAIR.
Talking of n Larger Place Than
Guards Hall i'm Which to Hold 1t.

A meeting of the Masonic fraternity was
held at Masonic Hall last night to dis
cuss the work and plan of the fair to be
held in April
DR.. a. B. Simmons called the meeting
to order and introduced Mr. Noble r.
Martin. Mr.. Martin outlined some of the
plans and asked for the hearty c6-coera-
ton of all the Masons, which, he said
from the amount of enthusiasm already
shown he had every reason to expect
He had no doubt. he said, but that the
$50. 600 necessary TO pay for the lot and
advanced the proposed building as far as
laying the corner stone could be raised
and probably much more.
The Donation Committee, which put in
two hours work yesterday morning, re-
ported that it had received about sixty
gifts. The committee viii continue the
work this morning, when they expect
equally satisfactory results. The system
of disposing of the gifts made to the fair
will be by a system of check books. These
checks are numbered sold and when the
total number has been disposed of the
article will be awarded the person hold
ing the particular number that calls for
1t. Nearly fifty of these books We're dis
posed of to the members last night.
The committee are not sure that the
Guards Hall, which had been selected as
the place for the fair, will prove large
enough A number of members will look
into the matter this morning and should
they find it not of sufficient size, they
may decide to build a hall, probably in
the Park Extension.

UNION CARPENTERS QUIT WORK.
struck Because NOn-Union Men Were
Employed.

The strike OF the union workmen which
has been anticipated for some time by
the building contractors took place yes
terday morning when the union carpen-
tiers and bricklayers employed on the
buildings Of the Minis estate went out as
the result Of the employment OF two car
pcnters and two plumbers not members OF
the unions.
The carpenters who quit work ten IN
number. were employed directly by Mr.
William Armitage. He is not affected by
the action of the bricklayers, their work
having been sub-set.
The carpenters claim that Mr.. Armltage
has acted in bad faith, having promised
them several weeks ago when threatened
with a strike unless he COVE out no more
plece-work and sub-let other work only
to union men, that he would observe these
conditions. This promise. they say. he
violated when he employed the non-union
men.
Mr.. Armitaee SAYS that while he prom
ised the men he would sub-let no more
O; the work. il was understood thal six
houses that he had already let We're no.
included in the promise, and that he has
the right TO work on them such men IS
he pleases and on such terms as he
chooses to make.
union men was anticipated at one time,
threats We're made by some of the strk-
ers that if the others did not quit work
they would be thrown out of the build
ings.
The matter being reported to Mr..
O'Bnen he asked for police protection for
his men and Officer Dwyer was sent 20
the scene. No effort was made to carry
out the threat and the policeman did not
remain.
Mr.. Armitage expects to secure enough
carpenters to-day TO continue the work
without delay
The strike did not take place until af-
ter the meeting of the Builders Elk
change consequently the matter was not
brought up at its meeting.
If not brought up at the meeting this
morning, it doubtless will be tonight
when there is a special meeting to con-
slider the adoption of new set of by
laws.

THE VICTORINE LIBELLED.
Ex-Englneer of the Steamer Filed a
Claim for Back salary.

y
A libel against the steamer yictorine,
and, as the legal phrase has it, her tack
lie, apparel and furniture, was flied by
Florence Huertas in the United States
District Court yesterday Huertas rep
resents that he was formerly engineer of
the Victorine, and that the salary now
due him amounts TO S122.
The libellant recites that he was en-
gagged in the capacity of engineer of the
Victorine by her master, Rossignol, Dec
T. 1899, and served in the same capacity
until March 4, 1890, He was to receive for
his services salary of $50 per month
but as a matter of fact only a very small
part of the wages to which he was enti-
tied was ever actually paid him. He made
so he asserts, frequent demands upon the
master and owner of the vessel for his
pay, but without success.
On March 4, after nearly three months
service, during which time Huertas had
received on account but $23, he was fore
ed to leave the vessel in order to make
money enough, in some o her way, to Sc
cure a livelihood. He claims that he is
entitled in all to the amount of 1922, over
and beyond the sum he has received.
A hearing cf the case has been held be-
fore United States Commissioner Lewis.
VINO appends to the libel a statement that
the owner of the Nictorine, G. H. Howe,
apr cared before him, but could make no
showing that the salary alleged to be due
by Huertas had ever been paid. The com
missioner granted a certificate of proba-
HE cause for the libel of the Victorne.
The libellant is represented by Mr.. Ed
ward S. Elliott

Too Early Yet TO Tell the Rice
Acreage.
The rice planters are now at work put
ting in the first of the early paintings.
This will keep them busy the greater part
of the month. 1t is too early yet to indl-
cate whether or not there will be any in
crease in acreage, but it is believed that
the increase if any will be slight Louis
ana and Texas are putting in large crops
1t is possible that the approaching sea-
son may be the best the rice people ever
had, so far as p ices are concerned. The
prevalence to a g. eater or less degree o
The bubonic plague IN nearly all the ports
from which rice is exported to this coun-
try is likely to lead to the total exclusion
OF foreign rice at an early date. The or
der forbidding all imports of Chinese rice
al the Pacific ports, which went into eff
feet some time since, has had some bene-
fetal effect upon the prices of lower grades
OF rice, which are in demand among the
Chinese population on the Pacific scoast.
With the shutting out of all foreign rice
the stock in this country would be pretty
well exhausted by the time the next crop
is harvested with the result that the do
n este. producers wolld be assure d of go ID
prices.

TALKING A NEW TRIP.
OgIethOrpe Considering What Place
They VIII Visit.

The Oglethorpe Light Infantry last
night informally discussed trips that
might be taken in lieu. of that to Louis
vile, to which the members had been
looking forward with such pieasurab.e
anticipations until the news came that the
committee in that city had decided not
to have a military feature in connection
with the its entertainment of the con-
federate Veterans who gather to attend
their national reunion.
suggestion that seemed to find the
greatest favor was that the company 60
TO Virginia in July to spend July 81 the
anniversary of the battle of Manassas
upon the battlefield. Another suggestion
was that the centennial celebration at
Washington be attended but as that will
not come Off Is is unders TODD, until De-
cember, the sugges ton was regarded as
rather impracticable. The members OF
the company would experience great DIFF
ficulty, if they could manage at ALL in
getting off at such time. The annual
reunion of the Confederate Veterans of
Georgia will be held in July in Augusta
1t was also suggested that the company
go there.
Capt. Gordon announced that the infor-
NAL discussion will be followed at the
meeting next Monday right by another
when it will he decided whether the
Louisville trip shall be formally called Off
In the event of the company deciding to
give over further consideration Of a visit
to that city. further discussion will fol-
low as TO the substitute for it.
The Oglethorpes have very comforta-
BILE beginning toward a fund necessary
for an extended trip. Grcat interest has
been manifested In the prospect of such
a jaunt as that which was expected. and
it is very probable that a visit will be
paid some point Offering an attraction.

French CIaret Wines and German
Rhine and MoscIIe Wines.

The fine French wines in bottles are i'm
ported direct from the well known house
of Everest, Dupont q Co., Bordeaux
France, by Lippman Bros. of this CITY.
Lippman Bros. desire to call attention TO
the ST. Julien brand of claret wine, which
is very fine, but quite low-priced
Their Chateau Leoville is known as ona
of the finest claret wines imported 10 the
United States.
Lippman Bros importations of Rhine
wines are certainly worth the attentlon
of connoisseurs. They are from the cele-
brated wine grower Martin Deutz Of
Frankfort-on-the-Ma Germany.
His Bodenheim Rhine wine Is very nice
and delicious, but low price.
His Marcobrunner Cabinet, from select
cd grapes, Is well worth the attention OF
the finest judges OF Rhine wine in the civ.
His Yohannisburger Cabinet is very deli
cate and rare, and Is perfection of wine
and the finest OF all-nd.

Trying Experience of Revenue CUT
ter Officers Known.in Savannah.

Trying Experience of Revenue CUT
ter Officers Known.in Savannah.
Three officers of the revenue cutter SER
vice well known in Savannah, have been
having a rough experience on the Yukon
river during the last few months. and as
the winter in Nor hern Alaska is not
broken they are probably not basklng in
springs smiles yet.
A report from Lieut.. John c. Cantwell
in command Of the little revenue cutter
NunVak, which went into commission
last year TO explore the inland waters of
Alaska and to enforce law and order on
the yukon shows something of the rigors
of an Alaskan winter Lieut.. Cantwell
with Lieut.. b. f. Camden and Assistant
Engineer T. G. Lewton, left Savannah
last March, a year ago, having been sta
toned here for a year on the Colfax, TO
join the Nunivak, which had just been
fitted out, having been taken in sections
to the Yukon. After her summer duty the
Nunivak went into winter quarters on the
Dali river a branch of the Yukon, sever
al hundred miles from St. Michael, and
only a little south of the Arctic circle.
Lieut.. Cantwelis last report is dated
Dec. 20. The coal supply of the vessel
was low as early as Dec. !, but the crew
of eight men were set at work chopping
wood to keep the fires necessary to pre-
vent them from freezing on the vessel
The wood had to be dragged a mile
through the snow to the ship. Before Dec
70 most Of the crew had become mutin-
Gus, and it was only by the utmost force
of personal authority that the officers
were able TO keep them at work.
The region around the Nunvak is unin-
habited except by few natives, and ths
only mail brought out during the winter
was by dog team down the Yukon. The
temperature was very low throughout No
vember and December. During the third
week Of December the mercury was fifty
six degrees below zero, and the COM
mander Of the vessel froZe his face and
hands. Wood chopping had to be sus-
penCed for a few days and the fuel sup
ply got dangerously low. The mercury in
the engine room was "a degrees and even
In the fire room, where three cords OF
wood per day were being burned, the tenn
perature was at freezing point. The last
part of Lieut. Cantwclls report was writ
ten with a pen and thawed ink for the
reason that the rubber on the type writer
froze and made it impossible to operate
the machine
The revenue cutter officers now station
ed at savannah, while always ready to
face any experience in the line of duty
cannot help congratulating themselves
that their lot is just now cast on pleas
auter places than amid the SHOWS ana
ice OF the Yukon. Capt. Mitchell has the
pleasantest recollections OF the men who
are now doing Arctic duty.
