WILL BRING THE KILTIES.
Profits From Concerts WOuId Go To-
wards Charleston Trip.

Profits From Concerts WOu1d Go To-
wards Charleston Trip.
The Kilties, the name under which
the Forty-eighth Highlanders' Band of
Canada is commonly known, is to be
in Savannah on Feb. 8. They will be
brought by the military of the city, or,
rather, by the First Regiment and the
Savannah Volunteer Guards, though all
the commands will be urged to help
swell the crowd to hear the band.
At their meetings last night the COM
panies considered the coming Of the
Kilties, some of them agreeing to guar
antee a portion of the expense. 1t is
thought that all will come into line
and that something above expenses
may be made through having the fam
GUS musical organization visit Savan-
nah for a matinee and night perform
ance.
Those companies that expect to take
the trip to Charleston Feb. % to par
ticipate in the parade and see the Ex-
position will devote any profits that
might come from the bands concerts
TO the expenses of the trip. 1t Is not
yet known what those expenses will
amount to, though 1t is not thought
that they will prove considerable. The
Plant System named round-trip rate
of $3.50, which the officers of the First
Regiment consider too high. Those
taking the leading interest in the mat
ter asked bids from steamboat people
and from the Ocean Steamship Com
pany. Bids were submitted by the
steamers Clifton OF Savannah and the
Pilot Boy and the Planter of Charles
ton. The bids range from 81
be that IL will be determined
to make the trip by water. The Ocean
Steamship Company decided that IL
would net pay to use one of it's vessels
for the military.
Details Of the trip have not vet been
arranged. Great interest has been
manifested by members of the COM
panies. however, and 1t would seem
that there win be large percentage
of the enlisted men to take in the ex-
position. The management of the ex-
position has been considering means
for the accommodation OF the visiting
troops. The camp ground will afford
room for about 1000 men, but II is
thought that will not be enough for
the occasion Of Washington's birthday
Efforts are afoot to secure the Vesta
cotton mill for quarters. This is a
large building, and adapted TO quar-
tering troops. There are four floors,
each Of which would accommodate 700
men. Capt. r. w, Wagner OF the
German Artillery OF Charleston, has
written Capt. w. r, Coney Of the First
Regiment. about the arrangements
that are in progress for the accommo-
dalton OF the visiting soldiers.

A special meeting Of the City Coun-
ell was held last night for the con-
sideration of the budget Of expenses
for the conduct of the administration
next year. The budget was consider
ed in Committee of the Whole, and
none of the aldermen would talk about
what was done, it having been agreed
that they should maintain silence.
, Considerable progress with the ar
rangement of the budget was made,
however, and the aldermen who were
seen after the meeting expressed the
belief that one more special meeting
would bring the conclusion of the
whole matter. This meeting is to be
held Friday night, when, it is thought.
the budget will be finally agreed upon.
Ii Will then be in readiness for the
next regular meeting of the board,

ORGAN LACKED WIND.
Want of Water and wind Spoiled
an Organ Recital.


The organ recital for the benefit of
Westminster Presbyterian Church was
given in the Lawton Memorial last
night by DIR. Minor C. Baldwin, as
sisted by Mrs. Clarence Lilienthal, pi-
anist, and Miss Albert duFour, So
prano.
The organ numbers, which formed
the greater part of the programme,
were decidedly not a success, though
through no fault of DR.. Baldwin. The
difficulty might be said to have been
providential. Because of the many n.y.
-drants that had beer left flowing TO
prevent their being bursted by the an
ticipated freeze, there was not suff1-
cient water to run the organ motor,
and, therefore, the bellows could not be
kept full enough to get the results that
were even approximately satisfactory.
The programme to be given was as
follows:
Great Toccata" (Bach), pedal solos.
"Romanza baldwin,.
pilgrim Chorus" Tannhauser CWag-
ner), DR.. Minor C. Baldwin.
"All Things For Thee" Miss ALDER
ia duFour.
Concerto" Larghetto, Allegro, ALA
EItSlU
marguerite
'Intermezzo," DR.. Minor C. Bald
win.
"Cracovienne" (PaderewslsD; polo
naise' in Alb Chopin, Mrs. Clarence
Lilienthal.
Symphonic poem, "The Storm in the
Mountains" Shepherds Evening Song,
the Tempest, Hymn of Thanksgiving
invocation baldwin,.
Coronation March"-Le Prophetic
(Meyerbeer), DR.. Minor C.. Baldwin.
DR.. Baldwin got through the first
number after fashion, but his second
selection, the Romanaza proved more
of tragedy than a romance; after
three efforts to play 1t DR.. Baldwin
finally gave up the job in despair and
started an examination of the me-
chanism of the organ to see IL some
thing could not be done to improve
matters. That matters had not been
| improved the audience was appraised
of shortly after the next number was
| begun. 1t never was finished; the
wind gave out again and DR.. Baldwin
retired in favor of Miss duFour
| that 1t insisted on a recall to which
she responded with There Little
| Girl Don't Cry"
Mrs. Lilienthal played in her usual
| brilliant and finished style and won so
| hearty an encore that she was forced
| to give recall piece At the con-
clusion of her selections DR.. Baldwin
made a last and futile attempt to play.
The organs failure to respond to his
efforts marked the close of the concert.
What little was heard of DR.. Baldwin's
efforts showed him to be a fine organ
list; it was to the sincere regret of the
audience that they had not the oppor-
tunity Of hearing him under more adj
vantageous circumstances.

Negro Cnbmen Convicted of Robbery
Sent to Penftcntiary.

Alonzo Williams. the negro cabman
convicted of highway robbery and
sentenced to ten years In the peniten-
tiary, was removed from the county
Jail to the camp at Fargo yesterday.
The negro left willingly enough. but
continues to protest that he is inno-
cent Of the charge upon which he was
convicted.
The cabman was indicted on two
charges of robbery. but was only tried
on one. After his conviction for the
robbery Of paper hanger named
Hunter the second case was transfer
red 10 the dead docket. The complain
ant in the case that has never been
heard is employed on the steamship
Kansas City, and was robbed In much
the same manner as was Hunter.
Williams is a vicious looking negro
and although he claims that he did not
commit either Of the crimes charged
against him, the evidence In the Hun
ter case was conclusive. Since the ar
rest and conviction of Williams the
police have had no reports OF cab rob
berries where before that time such
crimes were rather frequent

HOTELS DOING BUSINESS.

are Prepared TO Handle Largest
Tourist Travel In Years.
with the passing Of Christmas will
begin in earnest the tourist travel to
the South. The hotels of Savannah
have about completed their prepare
lions to take care of this class of
travel, which, this season. is expected
to be larger than it has been in very
many years.
The hotels as a rule have done an
excellent business during the entire
year. At the De Soto alone, IL is stat
ed that the business done since Oct.
has been rs per cent. greater than
that done during the same period last
year, and that the outlook is that the
remainder of the season will be equal
ly as good. About Christmas or the
first of the year the De Soto will in
stall an orchestra which, as has been
the case for a number Of years, will
be in charge of Prof. Isaac Leon.
