Their Lady Friends Given an Even
ing of Fun.

The Elks gave ladies' social session
last night at their hall, at Broughton and
Whitaker streets. and as is the case with
all their social affairs, it was a most
pronounced success.
Besides the families of the members of
the lodge, there were number of invited
guests, among them being four gentle
men and four ladies of the Phil and Net
tie Peters Comedy Company" and, later
in the evening, after their performance
at the theater, a number of the Gorton
Mlnstrels
All of the visitors as well as the home
talent. took part in the programme, which
was of a most enjoyable character. There
was nothing classic about that programme
lit was a free-and-easy, go-as- your please
programme, intended to amuse, not in
struct; also, it filled the bill.
The first number was a vocal solo by
Mrs. Franz Hubner with violin obligato
by Prof. Hubner. Then came Mr. c. D.
McCardle who sang the New Kingdom, :"
by Tours. Mr. W. w. Starr, who presided
with all the dignity and grace that he
usually displays on such occasions then
ordered policeman" Sam Reynolds 20 ar
rest and bring to the platform DR. Coch-
ran and Mr.. w. F. Blois. They were duly
carried before the tribunal and ordered
| to sing the "Larboard Watch" or submit
to fine for disobedience. They sang
DIR. Cochran then sang a parody on
Same Old Story, Nothing New IN which
well known members of the lodge were
made the butts of his wit. His song
scored a distinct success and he was
warmly appiauded.
Then the programme was taken up by
| the members of the Peters Company who
sang solos, medleys, and took part in
skits The members of the Gorton Minis
! trels then arrived and entertained the
| gathering until Mr. Starr decided to show
| them what he called the real thing"
| which is the Elks' Band of Yamacraw
| cake-walkers and singers. who were got
| ten up in the most unique garments and
| with a most elaborate expenditure of
black and red grease paint. Refreshments,
both solid and liquid, were served during
! the evening, and greatly enjoyed by the
large audience that was present

. A FRACTIONAL FIGHT.

in. When Mr.. Saussy called on his au-
dience 10 give the administration a stab
he asked that an administration that had
met with the approval Of at least two
thirds of the people be stabbed; an ad-
ministrauon that even man with
barrel had not dared 60 oppose. He said
that the iron fingers at the peoples
throat are on the hands of men who were
released several years ago, and who win
remain out for some time 10 come. When
the contest was made one OF factions it
stamped the seal of defeat on the opposi-
ton candidates. He said that with SUCH
a bunch as spoke at the McAlpin meet
ing the enemy could only find aid and
comfort in their words. AS usual II will
be an open ticket. he said and he would
not fold il for Slo0
Mr.. r. Med Oliver said that he had

keilbach and Wells. Judge Twiggs is i'll,
but his heart is with the administration
followers and those of Screven and Wells.
He spoke of the ability of party candi-
dates. and said that with a clerk like
keilbach. who has the work of the office
al his finger tips. Mai. Screven would
make an ideal ordinary. He asked what
motive had induced Capt. McAipin to turn
loose a barrel for a judgeship. If that is
all that he desires, the speaker said, he
was ready 20 sign a contract with every
other member of the bar to tip his hat to
Capt McAlpin and call him judge. Mr..
Oliver advised his audience to vote the
straight ticket like their "matchless lead
err" Osborne.
Col. A. r. Lawton said that he had been
taken completely by surprise He was al
ways ready and glad to express his pref
erence of candidates when called on, he
said, but he took an entirely different
view of the situation. He did not stand
on the same platform with his friend Os-
borne, and felt out of place. He was not
party man. ne said and would vote a
straight ticket for the first time in his
life to-day. His reason for doing so is
that one party has happened to select
two men that are by far the best in the
contest. He has known the candidates
for ordinary since they were in dresses
and thought that by odds Screven is the
better man for the office He did not re-
member when Mr.. Wells ran about in
skirts. but he had known him long time,
and felt that he is qualified, in every way,
to fill the Office he is seeking.
Mr.. Shelby Myrick said that to follow
such list of speakers was like eating
dry bread after desert. He Endorsed
Screven and Wells, and spoke of the part
the "Disunited'' club has played in the
campaign. He commented on the barrels
that had been tapped by the opposition,
but was confident that the success of the
candidates in whose interest he spoke
was assured. They are backed by me
conservative class of citizens, which Is
the backbone of the community. At the
conclusion of Mr.. Myrick's spec III the
meeting adjourned.

the books will probably feel sore when
they learn of what has happened.
The ballot boxes have been taken out OF
the Court House cellar and the voting
stands were in place during the afternoon.
Tables, chairs and writing material were
also placed in the offices that are to be
used as voting places, and everything will
be in readiness when the polls open this
morning
The streets will be flooded with circu-
lars this morning shouting the praises OF
the various candidates. One of the most
interesting circulars that has come 10
light thus far bears the caption. We
Know That the Temptation is Great" The
circular is an appeal from some one for
Maj. Screven. and among other things,
says:
Maj. Screven has rendered his services
for the protection OF the citizens of Sa-
vannah. on all occasions, and has always
been ready 10 follow the flag of his coun-
try. He has always proven to his friends
a good warrior Nothing can be said about
him excepting that he is always ready 90
serve his friends let the call be where
1t may. If it is to the Legislature, he is
ready; if it is to be an alderman OF the
city OF Savannah. he is ready; If it is to
be superintendent of the police force. he
is ready; and in other words a good citi-
zen.
He is ready on all occasions where
his services are required to protect all
good citizens, and we are satisfied that
Maj. Screven is the gentleman for Or
binary, and we hope on the day of the
10Th instant, every voter will rally to the
polls with that precious ballot, signed
Thomas Screven for Ordinary, because a
good man makes a good government"
NnuEhtin May he Chief.
Many of those who are on the inside
hazard the prediction that il Maj Screven
Is elected Magistrate Michael Naughtin
will be made superintendent of police.
Justice Naughtin is an avowed candidate
for the Office, in the event that Mai.
Screven is successful, and he has a strong
following. Last May a a meeting of the
n"n1irating rcrr,-r7it.~o - 80 ~1rniris+r.,
ton party Justice Naughtin was q can
didate against Mr.. ]. J. Horrigan for
sheriff of the City Court. A majority OF
the committee favored Mr.. Horrigan and
Justice Naughtin suggested that the nom
inatlon be made. unanimous. His attitude
on that occasion IS still remembered by
the leaders in his party and there are
many who believe that he will be super
intendent OF police If Maj Screven wins
to-day. Ex-Chief of Police Frank Nc
Dermott has been mentioned as a prob
able candidate for the same office as has
w. t. Hussey. Both of these are strong
administration men and have many friends
who are among those in control at this
time. If to-days election turns as many
believe 1t will there WAL be an interesting
and exciting race for superintendent OF po-

FLOWERS FOR THE PARK.
Park Beds VIII BE AbIaze with
Blossoms Next Month.

Park Beds VIII BE AbIaze with
Blossoms Next Month.
The Park and the squares, which all
winter long have been. almost bare of
flowers, will soon bloom again with all
the myriad tints that spring flowers, va
riegated colias and other briIliant-hued
plants can give.
Mr.. Henry Wildly, who is in charge of
the floral department. of the Park and
Tree Commission, is at work planting
flowers, and expects by April 10 to have
most of the spring plants set out, and
many of the summer plants. Already he
has set out fotr large beds of pansies in
the Park. The plants are just beginning
to bud, but within two weeks, unless some
unforeseen bad weather occurs, the beds
will be faring patches of variegated col
or. Daisies, too, are being planted in
profusion, and, later, will follow between
1900 and 1000 estor plants of every i'm
aginab BILE hue Then will come the non
Towering but still ornamental plants,
such as the HIBISCUS, strobianthus and
kindred plants. The beds of Indian shoot,
which in the late summer make gorgeous
with mingled red and yellow the Park
corners, will be set out later in the sea-
son.
Already in the park the plants have felt
the wooing breath of spring. The
branches of the red-bud trees are aglow
with their lilac blossoms, the peach and
plum trees are just bursting into flower
while the fuer de lis give every indica-
ton of opening within the next few days
The japonca bushes were never more pro-
life, while the jonquil beds are already
showing as golden patches.
After the park has been supplied with
flowers the Bull street squares will re-
ceive the attention of Mr.. Wildly, and, last
of all, Colonial Park. Mr.. Wildly has
recently built annex to the green
house on Barnard street, where he keeps
his supplies of stock plants, and, through
the winter. harbors his other shrubs. The
annex is 100x10 feet and contains over 5000
stock plants. Mr.. Wildly said yesterday
that his present stock of plants and flow
ers of all kinds was much larger than
Ii has ever been before, and that the park
and squares would be better provided this
season than ever before.
Though its floral beauty may be in
creased the Park is nevertheless losing
much of the natural beauty that has
characterized it since it was set apart for
it's present purpose. So many of the pines
have been destroyed by cyclones, or died
from other causes that there are only
seven left standing.
