Centennial Trip May Take the iiace
of That to Louisville.

The plans of three companies in Savan-
nah have been interfered with by the de-
cfsion of the committee in Louisville look
ing after the entertainment Of the United
Confederate Veterans when they appear
there in May for their annual convention
The oglethorpe Light Infantry, the Sa-
vannah Cadets aud the Republican Blues
have been considering the trip and devils
ing ways and means Of taking it, but 1t
is scarcely probable that they will care
to go when no provision for their enter
tainment is made
a dispatch from Louisville states that
the committee decided chat only veterans
should appear in the parade. Even es-
corts for the bodies Of veterans are not
wanted. That means that the Republican
B4ues, who had been accepted as the es-
cort of che Confederate Veterans Assoc
ton in Savannah are in the same boat
with the other companies which mad
thought of going Independently.
Officers and men OF the compani are
now thinking OF some other Trip 20 take
the place of that to Louisville. The great
centennial celebration of the ira S er OF
the seat of government from PhilaQ elphia

greater attractions than anything else the
officers have in mind, ana ii is MT inn
probable that the companies will decide to
call off the contempla ed trip to Louisville
and take one to Washington inste ad.
Committees have already gone to work
at the capital to prepare for the great
celebration. 1t is believed it will be The
greatest event in the hist ry
of the country, exclusive f

ROBERT EMMET'S BIRTHDAY.
Savannah Irishmen VIII Not Ccie-
brate 1t This Year.

In various cities throughout the United
States celebrations win take place to-
night in honor of the 122nd anniversary of
the birth of Irelands great patriot and
martyr. Robert Emmett. For years the an
niversary has been concentrated here,
but will not be this year because it was
not thought advisable TO have a banquet
Sunday night.
One of his ardent admirers said yester-
day Emmett beiieved<n and taught as
has every great Irishman from owen Roe
ONeill to John Mitchell, the right of the
Irish people to absolute independence.
Stronger than death, pure as che love OF
God, there has always lived in the Irish
heart the hope of freedom. ] believe that
hope is, in fact, a promise, and until the
nation loses its confidence in heaven the
struggle will go on until it is crowned
with victory In the light of this pur-
pose Emmett is a representative, not of
a vanished, but a coming era. He is not
merely an ldealized memory, but a spirit
iucarnate in the hears of all true Irish
men. Our people viii always honor him
as a martyr 10 the cause Of liberty ana
humanity"

EVIDENCE OF CITY's GROWTH.
One Thing That Tells More Than All
Others Combined.

No better evidence of the steady growth
of Savannah is given by any one thing
more than the consumption of foodstuffs.
which has been on an enormous scale for
the past few months. The city's popula-
ton has been increased by the employ
ment of hundreds of laborers engaged on
the various Improvements about town. To
feed these. mem Itha skill and foresight of.
Savannah's dealers are necessary, as the
consumption is such as to keep the de-
mand on dealers great. While all prod
ucts are used in larger quantities now
than they We're a short time ago, ii is
conservative to estimate that more meat
is used than anything Else for the rea
son this is one food the human system
requires. The great consumption of meat
does not interfere with Logan, however,
who has strings of refrigerator cars bear
ing the sweet products of the West to
his doors. 1t is good enough for any
body. Some folks wonder how he handles
so much stuff in his limited quarters in
the market, but this is due to his prompt
ness in selling it. Yesterday he had many
new things, among them liver pudding
and picked pork made by one of the
best butchers in the South. All kinds Of
vegetables and other supplies to be had
promptly. Remember the market is head
quarters, and Logan's Is the place there
for the best-ad.
