PREPARING FOR THE BLUES.
Cupt. Wilson WAS Mt Beaufort to
Take Dry Dock Pictures.

Take Dry Dock Pictures.
Capt. NJ Ed. Wilson of the Republican
Blues returned last night from Beaufort
He reports that great preparations are be-
ing made there for the entertainment Of
the Blues. who go over on the Clifton on
June g. The boat will leave the city at 8
o clock in the morning. She will return
after midnight
A baseball game will be played in the
afternoon between a team from the Blues
and one from their hosts, the Beaufort
Volunteer Artillery Naval Reserves. A
banquet and a dance have been arranged
for the evenings entertainment. 1t is pro-
posed to make the event a sort of reunion
of old members of the Reserves, and sew
eral of those now living in Savannah who
surrendered with the command at Ander-
sonville during the Civil War will accom-
pany the Blues on the trip.
Capt. Wilson had his Photographic out
fit with him. He accompanied the Beau
fort Committee on an inspection tour of
the Port Royal dry dock and dry dock
works, taking many photographs that will
be printed in pamphlet form for dtstri-
button by the people Of Beaufort, where
they will have the greatest effect In pre-
venting the removal of the dry dock 10
Charleston.
The people of Beaufort. Capt. Wilson
said, are greatly stirred up over the mat
ter, and they are determined that Charles
ton shall not have the dry dock. They
do not want it moved at all and do not
believe there is any necessity demanding
it. If it is to be removed. though, Capt.
Wilson says they would infinitely prefer
that Savannah have it rather than
Charleston. Statistics and measurements
relative TO the Port Royal harbor are be-
ing secured. and an array of evidence will
be presented that will show a strong case.
The greatest claim is that the 100000 al
ready invested in the dry dock should not
be thrown away"

COMMITTEE NEEDS TIME.
Capt. Cunningham Says 1t Cannot
Rush the Academy Plans.


Many inquiries are being made about
the progress of the plans for the rebuild
ing Of the Chatham Academy. Many pa
rents are interested, particularly those
whose children are in Chatham Schools
Nos. ! and 2. which were forced out of
quarters by the partial destruction Of the
academy. The present arrangement of
afternoon sessions at the Cathedral and
Massie schools is not satisfactory. and
the sooner it can give place to another
the better satisfied the parents and the
children themselves will be. This will
only be when the acadmey is restored, for
the Board of Education is convinced that
the best possible solution of the difficulty
was hit upon and that any other would
not prove even as satisfactory
Capt. II. c. Cunningham, chairman of
the Building Committee of the board of
trustees of the academy, was seen yester-
day and asked if any progress had been
made. He replied that Mr.. Henry UrDan
had been employed to submit a design
that would meet the approval of the COM
mittee from the Board of Education md
from the board of trustees. and that par
tal plans had already been submitted by
the architect.
The undertaking, Capt Cunningham de-
clared, is a trying one, because the funds
at the command of the board will not ad-
nit of hurryng into an acceptance of
plans that, 20 carry out, would represent
a greater cost than could be met If, said
Capt. Cunningham, some one would kind
ly donate an additional $4,000, there would
be no difficulty in starting work a once,
but the problem of putting up the best
possible building at the lowest possible
cost is a troublesome one, and cannot be
solved by rushing unthinkingly to a con-
clusion Careful and deliberate judgment
should be used, every care should be ex-
ercised and the best results should be
achieved.
Capt Cunningham could not say when
MIR. Urban would complete the work for
which his services have been engaged.

Christmns in the philippines.

Last year Christmas was a merry
day for all our troops in the Philip
pines. Large dances were given in
the various quarters of our army, and
the city was alive with midnight or
gies. The boxes from home came in
by the thousands, and the boys Joined
together and had a "lay out" that
made them forget that they were
10000 miles from home. The ships in
the harbor were brilliantly illumin-
ated at night, and the festive sound
of music fOated across the bay, while
the officers and men reveled in dance
and song. During the day water tour
naments and athletic exhibitions were
given, and the jackies enjoyed a feast

big stick of peppermint; he could
tell by the feeling and smell. He bit
a little piece off at the end Of it. How
good it was. Nobody ever made such
candy as Santa Claus. He laid It
out on the cover and went in deeper
There was a small package next, but
it was not the knife. 1t was soft, and
when he opened it it felt woolly. Oh
yes, 1t was mittens. He tried to see
what color they were in the dark. They
were fastened together with a long
knit string. That was to go round
his neck. He had wanted mlttens like
those before he wanted the knife so
badly. Then there was a round, quite
big package that he could hardly get
out. That wasn't the knife, of course.
He knew it was cookies as soon as
he got it open, Real Christmas cookies,
with white frosting and red sugar
sprinkled on the top. He wondered
why his mother never made such good
cookies as those. He bit one in two
and went deeper. Still no knife. His
heart sank little as he drew out a
long roll, that much reach, he thought,
to the very end of his stocking. 1t
was a book rolled up, and inside Of
it was another package of candy
mixed candy this time. He stuffed n
gum drop into his mouth and seized
the stocking again. There was some
thing more in 1t, but 1t did not feel
like a knife. 1t was kind Of big and
soft. He drew it out and made sure
that the stocking was empty. Then
he began to anwrap. One paper came
of, and then another. Still another
paper, and yet another paper, and an
other, and another. Each paper that
came off left the parcel harder and
harder and there was something now
about the shape Of it that made him
fairly wild with eagerness. He was
so excited he could hardly unwind the
last paper, that seemed to have no
end. He tore of great pieces of it.,
and once the package slippend out of
his fingers. At last the wrapping was
all off, and, clutched tightly in his
hand was a treasure cold and hard,
but which warmed the little boy to
his very soul.
