WANTED WHAT THEY DIDN'T GET.
School Children Made 1t Warm for "A
Snowman.

Snowman.
crowd of white and colored children
fairly besieged the entrance to the old
Ford's Opera House at Whitaker and st.
Julian streets yesterday afternoon.
The occasion was some sort of spectac~
ular show. to which tickets had been sold
to the children for 10 cents apiece. A
similar performance had been given at
the Guards Hall Thursday afternoon for
white children only, but owing to some
reason the managers of the show did not
give all that they had promised to give
and to satisfy the children promised them
that the remainder of the show would be
given them at another time, and gave
them tickets of admission for this con-
tinuance when it should be given.
There was some misunderstanding about
the matter, however. and yesterday after
noon, while the show was being carried
on for the colored children, the holders
of the continued tickets showed up in large
numbers and wanted to go in, too.
This the managers would not allow
but as the children became more and
more clamorous of their rights the money
that they had paid for admission was re-
fur ded to as many as presented their tick
cts. During the strugG.e to get to the man
who was redeeming tickets one of the
children was pushed down by Harry {.
Wilbur. one of the employees of the show,
He was arrested by Detective j. j. Bar
rett AID taken to the barracks, but gave
bond for his appearance in the Recorder
Court tomorrow
Another complaint of the white chill
dren was that they had not been given
presents as the Snowman had promised
to do This, the proprietors of the COM
pany deny. The negroes at yesterdays
show were given each present in the
shape OF little toy whistle or some SINH
lar trinket. The children at the Guards
Han were told that they would get their
IT sents later, but they did not under
stand when or where.
Superintendent OF Schools Ashmore was
seen about the matter, but he was to-
tally ignorant of any one having visited
the schools 10 dispose of tickets TO the
children. He said ne is confident that no
one had been admitted for that purpose,
as his regulations upon such matters are
strict Frequently he has refused perfnis-
sior to persons desiring to distribute free
tickets to one form of entertainment or
another, being rather convinced that
money would finally be wanted. The SUI
perintendont believes he would become a
party, in way, to some scheme II he
should grant such permission, and will
therefore continue to deny IL.
Supt Ashmore said that ii was quite
possible that some one may have taken a
stand near a school just as the children
were being dismissed and sold them the
tickets. This is a practice that has been
adopted when permission 10 go into the
schools has been refused. OF this partic-
ular instance, however, Supt. Ashmore
knew nothing at all.

Born in 1879.

Sxty-five years old, and, notwithstand-
ing the fact that it has passed through
many epidemics and financial panics, ii

no stockholders, the policyholders are the
only ones to share in the annual distrl-
button of surplus. The New England Mu-

CHrLDREN's HOSPITAL PLANS.
Its Promoters Hope 10 Have 1t Open
ed in "A short Time.

A hospital for children. for which
large number of the ladies' of Savannah
have been working for some months,
promises to become an assured fact now
within short time.
The movement for such an institution
had its inception last October, when a
number of church workers decided that
something ought to be done for the chill
dren of the poor. who were unable to take
care of them themselves, and the matter
was discussed freely, with the result that
il met general favor and in a short while
MOI ou.y were individuals at work for its
reaizati don, but also charitable organiza-
tlons, as has been shown not only by their
work but by their liberal contributions.
Recently a board Of managers has been
elected, of which each member has busted
herself to secure contributions to the
fund, and as the work has been under
taken in earnes and the plan met with
general favor these contributions already
amount to quite a hand some fund. Be
sides money other contributions in the
shape of beds and bed linen have been re-
ceved, and already two beds have been
endowed.
Not all of the plans of the managers
have as yet been completed, but ii is ia
tended 90 have a pay ward, as wen as a
public One, in both Of which children I'M
der II years old can enter and receive
treatment The present plan is to have
the hospital under the care of maGron
and two trained nurses. 1t is intended
to conduct IN connection with The hospi-
tai training school for nurses, which viii
go a long way toward solving the question
OF taking care of a large number of pa
ticnts a one time.
No building mas yet been secured, and It
is the intention of the managers 90 make
no attempt to do so until they have
guaranteed income of $3.50 a month, which
they think is the smallest amount with
which the work could wNh safety be com
menced As the subscriptions are con-
stantly coming in. it will probably be no
great while before this sum will be as
sured Mrs. w. A. Nisbet was yesterday
added to the board of managers.

THE THREAD-BARE QUESTION.
Is 1000 the End of or the beginning
of 81 Century!

Whether the new year just begun is the
beginning or end of century is a topic
which has been so thoroughly discussed
that we do not propose to go into an
argument. The purpose of the heading
of this article is to get your attention long
enough to remind you of the fact that the
year 1900 takes you to the gateway of an
unknown, untried road, through which
you expect to travel. gathering and enjoy
ing as you pass along, happiness, pros
perity and contentment. You know at
the start that some will die on the way,
eN en- you are not sure to reach the end
alive or well Perhaps you sometimes
picture the desolation and poverty of your
dear ones in the event of your sudden or
unprovided death. The picture is not cal
culated to cause you to feel overnight;
1t is to remind you of a solemn duty; it
is an appeal to your manhood your bust
ness integrity; it reminds you of the ad-
VantageS and necessity of that blessing
and protection for widows and orphans; 1t
speaks of the boon to civilized mankind
life insurance. So much for the value
and necessity of life insurance. Harty &
Apple, managers, III Bay street, east, will
be glad to show you why you can, to your
advantage place your business in the

dividends may be used in one of three
ways and you have year after the policy

Draughon's practical business colleges, 10
Gated at Savannah (Masonic Temple, st.
Louis, Nashville, Galveston, Fort Worth,
Shreveport and Little Rock; and we have
reason to believe that the graduates Of
these colleges are equally successful else
where. Prof. DraughOn, who is the au-
thor of four text books on bookkeeping,
claims that his colleges give by 80 per cent.
better course in bookkeeping than is
given by any other business college in
the United States, and course in short
hand, etc, second to none. Judging from
the success of his graduates and the large
number of written applications he receives
from business men for bookkeepers and
stenographers the Professor has every
reason for making these claims. About
1900 students have attended his colleges
during the past year.-Shreveport Daily

REPUBLICANS ARE LIVELY.
County Convention Promises to be "A
Warm Affair.


1t Is war to the knife now between the
two Republican factions of the First Con-
gressional district and the County Con-
vention, which is to be held Wednesday,
promises to be a lively affair. Primaries
to select delegates 10 this convention have
been held in the Third Fifth, Sixth.
Seventh and Eighth Militia districts, and
both factions are claiming the victory.
The Fifth district primary was held at
East Savannah Friday night, and is said
to have been rather lively The delegates
elected ore Rev. Hosea Maxwell, Rev. r.
II. Thomas, Nichols. Jordan and Lucas,
oil colored, and Thomas Shekens, white.
This is the home district of Capt. M. J.
DOYLE and Prof. r. X. Wright, but the
Deveaux people are claiming that Prof.
Wright was rejected in his own district,
and that the delegation is with them.
The Third, Sixth. Seventh and Eighth
districts acted yesterday and last night,
and both the Doyle and Deveaux partisans
are claiming to have the majority. The
First, Second and Fourth districts will
act tomorrow might, and the prospects
are that the meetings will be somewhat
scrappy.
j. r. Delegal the chairman of the Dis
tTict Committee, wniLh represents the
Doyle interests, has issued call for a
district convention to meet at Morse's Hall
in Savannah al p. m, Feb IL, just
day ahead of the convention of the De
veauX faction, which has been called by
Chairman l.. NJ. Pleasant to meet at il
a. m. Feb. A. Each faction will, OF
course endeavor to control the County
Convention, and as neither can afford to
admit defeat in the county each will claim
the majority and proceed to elect a set
of delegates to its District Convention.

RAN SHORT OF POWER.
street Railway Has Altered Curve on
barnard Street.

A mishap to some of the machinery at
the street railway power house yesterday
afternoon caused shortage of current
there, which was remedied by making a
connection with the plant of the Edison
Electric Company. The connection was
made with the Indian street trolley wire,
and the street railway company enabled
to continue operations without loss of
time.
The curve in the Barnard street track

of CASTOR street, which has been the scene
OF two mishaps recently, one resulting in
the death of a motorman. was altered yes
terday, the curve beng made more obtuse.
The alteration will doubtless insure
against further mishaps at that point.
