CHRISTMAS WITH THE CHOlRS
Preparations Being Made for Fine
Programmes of Music.

The choirs of all the Savannah
churches are busy either in selecting
music for Christmas or practicing that
already decided upon. Christmas and
Easter are the two great festivals of
the church year when the music is
the most elaborate, and the selection
of new and suitable selections for
these occasions causes no little trou-
bic to choir leaders and takes UP a
good deal of time.
This seems to be particularly the
case this year, for the output of new
compositions for Christmas has been
smaller than usual so small, in fact,
that many of the choir leaders have
DEF ded to use either the music of
last year or to fall back on the COM
positions of the old masters.
In the Catholic churches the efforts
to get novelties is not so strong. There
is a great body of splendid masses to
draw upon, written by the greatest mu-
sicians. Consequently, it is rare that
the work of a new composer is heard
in the Catholic churches. For an
thems the leaders of the Catholic choirs
are also singularly well off. The works
of Beethoven, Mozart, Gounod. Schu-
bert Hummel and Adam can be drawn
upon, and are more than adequate.
number of the most famous selec-
tions are repeated year after year and
lose none of their impressiveness. Such
works are Gounod's Nazareth" and
Adams "Cantique de Noel"
In the Episcopal churches the selec-
tions for Christmas are usually made
from the works of the English COM
posers who write especially for Eng
fish cathedral choirs Occasionally the
works of the Americans Buck, Gill
christ. Parker and few others are ad-
mitted, but in the majority of Episco-
pal churches the programme is almos:
exclusively English.
In former years the choirs of many
of the churches have been assisted by
one or more orchestra instruments,
and IL is probable that this will be the
case this Christmas also

O'Clock, Having Temperature of
10 Degrees-Wave Conferred Over
Ohio Valley Last NiSht-Memphis
Reported Temperature of s De-
grees-High Winds at Tybee Yes
terday Morning and on New York
Last Night.
The cold wave from the Mississippi
Valley reached Savannah yesterday
and sent the thermometer down to Sc
degrees The prediction for last night
was that it would go still lower, posi-
bly, 10 or IL degrees below the temper
ature registered during the day. The
maximum temperature was Sc degrees
which gives a mean of 81 or 50 degrees
below the normal. This reduces the ac-
cumulated excess of the month to IL
degrees and increases the accumulated
shortage of the year to 1896 degrees.
The rainfall still shows a shortage of
10 of an inch, and the year one of 1850
inches.
The cold weather did no harm to the
crops in this vicinity. The only vegeta-
bles now above ground are cabbages,
turnips, beets, carrots, and other such
seH1i-hardy plants and tf,Ase-will not
be affected to any extent unless the
mercury should go to 20 degrees or
lower.
While it is expected the full force
of the cold wave has yet to reach the
coast, it has already reached the in
terror. Atlanta at o'clock last night
reported temperature of 16 degrees,
a drop of "a degrees since the night
before, and at other cities little fur
Their north the fall was still more de-
cided, Raleigh reporting AZ degrees
lower than the night before.
The chief force of the wave is being
felt in the Ohio valley. Cincinnati re-
ported last night temperature of
degrees and Memphis only degrees
higher The coolest city in the coun-
try was st. Paul. where a temperature
of degrees below zero was reported.
The trend of the wave seems to be
northeastward, and it is expected to
strike the New England coast to-day
or possibly reached there last night.
The wave seems to be accompanied, or,
rather, preceded, by high winds, for at
Tybee yesterday morning the wind
reached a velocity of forty miles an
hour. though it blew only twenty-six
miles an hour at Savannah, and at
night there was a sixty-four- mile-an-
hour gale off New York and a velocity
of forty miles an hour off Boston.
The forecast for the state to-day is
for fair weather, with fresh north to
northeast winds

BEAT HIS FATHER-IN-LAW.
p. b, BashIor Seriously Injured by s.
r. Alley.

e. Alley.
P. B. Bashlor of No. SIS MARGARET
street, a white man SO years of age,
was assaulted and seriously injured
Saturday night by S. E. Alley, his
son-in-law. Alley was arrested by Pa
trolman B. w. Williams, charged with
disorderly conduct and assaulting and
striking Bashlor.
The prisoner was released on NOM
inal bond, and when it became, known
last night that the injured mans con-
dition is dangerous, orders were issued
for the arrest of the prisoner. Supt.
Reilly instructed the city detectives to
search for Alley. and in the event of
his arrest, to accept no bail until 1t
is known how Bashlor's injuries are
going to result. Bashlor was badly
beaten. and one of his ribs was broken.
He is being attended by DIR. F. VAIL
and the physician stated yesterday
that. because of the age of the patient,
1t Is difficult to predict how the in
Juries will result. He considers his
condition serious however. and upon
this showing Alley was ordered rear
rested.
The trouble occurred in the house
occupied by Alley and his wife, which
IS opposite Bashlor's house. The prose-
cutor claims that his daughter was
being assaulted by her husband. and
that she screamed for help. Bashlor
says that he lost no time in running
to her assistance. and that when he
got in the house his son-in-law turned
upon him like a tiger. The old man
was powerless to battle with his in
furiated son-in-law and was badly
beaten. He charges that Alley de-
- cd hot H.. 4
way and that he believes the young
man used brass knucks. This, how
ever. is doubted. The fight attract
ed the attention of Patrolman, VIII
liams, who made the arrest.
1t was not thought at that time that
Bashlor had been seriously hurt and a
nominal bond was accepted for the APP
pearance of Alley in Police Court this
morning. The prisoner stated to the
police that he was not to blame for
the trouble, and that II had really been
forced uopn him. He declared that
Bashlor had come into his house for
the purpose of beating his wife, and
that he only interfered. He stated that
he was forced to strike the old man.
but that he used no weapon OF any
sort. He denied that he had struck -is
wife or that the trouble had occurred
in anything like the manner related
by the prosecutor.
The prosecution alleges that Alley
married his wife unwillingiy and was
brought to this city from Norfolk by
Deputy Sheriff Lilienthal. Alley had
been in the Seventh Army Corps dur
ing the Spanish American War and was
In camp i'm this city. He met Miss

marriage.

HAD THE PRESENT BOARD.
And Some Don't Understand why
the LAW Was Wanted Changed.


The dispatch of the aldermanic COM
! mittee to Atlanta on an errand of err
ror bids fair to be a seven-day sensa-
ton. The incident has stuck in the
public mind longer than will the or
| binary happening in municipal poll
tics. and it is still being discussed al-
most as generally as it was on the day
of the Morning News publication of
the departure of the committee and
the dispatch of thu telegram to Sem
ator Cam, urging him to stick by the
crowd and pass the bill"
One thing that those who are OPP
posed to the incoming Council electing
the city officers confess an inability to
understand is why the crowd that
wanted to be stuck by" went to oil
the trouble of having the bill making
the election prerogative of the in
coming board passed. They say that,
in so far as their restricted political
vision will permit them to see, there
was absolutely no need for the pass
age of such a bill to secure the object
at which 1t is aimed.
why" said two or three of the OPP
ponents of the measure. to whom the
Nibu6All ldu .OCSuIIGu li6y COulQ get
anything they want out of this board.
1t seems to me that they went to a
lot of needless trouble in framing up
such a bill and bringing the wires into
operation to secure its passage. They
don't gain a single thing by it, be-
cause they, could have managed TO
elect a set of city officers by simply
drumming the present boardtinto line.
They got seven members of the board
to agree to give up their right to elect
and surely they could have been just
as successful in inducing them to vote
for candidates that might be proposed.
I'm fact, l think it was not a wise
move on the part of the GROVE for
it gives them a chance to get defeated.
If they had allowed the law to remain
so that the outgoing board would elect
they could have elected the officers
they might nominate, but as it is they
have first to win the municipal cleo
ton before they can put in a board
about which they will be sure and upon
which they can rely to elect the Off
GERS they want. There's an element Of
chance about municipal election that
they might have been wise to con-

MILK IS COSTING MORE.
Dairymen viii Meet to Consider
Another Increase in Price.

Dairymen Will Meet to Consider
Another Increase in Price.
Under the influence of constantly ad-
vancing prices for feed for their stock
the dairymen of Savannah have adj
vanced the price of milk. and il is the
general impression. as it seems to be
the common purpose of all of them,
that further advance will take place
Jan. l.
Milk has already been raised in price
from % cents to 80 cents gallon, while
the price of tickets has been increased
in like proportion. The dairymen now
give twelve quart tickets for a dollar
or twenty-five pint tickets, where four
teen quart tickets or twenty-five pint
tickets have been given for the same
amount heretofore. The probability is
that after the first of the year only
eleven quart tickets or twenty pint
tickets will be given for this sum. 1t
is not believed there will be any fur
Their advance in the price of milk by
the gallon.
meeting Of the dairymen will be
held at the Court House Wednesday,
when this matter will be considered
The business has reached a stage
where they say it is necessary for them
to do something for their own protec-
ton. as at the present scale of prices
for feed and milk they are losing money
every day.
Maj. G. NJ. Ryals. who conducts
dairy in connection with his truck
farm, said last night that conditions
are such that an increase in price is
necessary. Food products have all in
creased in price largely. corn and oats
from so to so per cent. There must he
something like a corresponding ad-
vance in the price of milk, though OF
course, 1t is not proposed to raise the
price by any such percentage of in
crease as the last months or six weeks
have brought in the price of feed.
