VIII Draw Large House To-
morrow NIGht-Nnmes of Those
who Have Contributed to the Re-
lief Fund.
savannah's response to the call for aid
from Jacksonville has been generous, but
the efforts of those who have been rails
inc funds will not cease with what they
have already accomplished. Mr.. NJ. J.
solomons, treasurer of the fund, now has
+, it's credit in bank $2,90s.25. This amount
will be augmented to-day, as some of the
soliciting committees have money that
thew have not yet turned in to the treas
urer.
Not only will the Jacksonville sufferers
he sent money, but clothing will reach
them. too, from Savannah. Through the
efforts of Mr. Solomons yesterday, a va
cant store, No. 12O Bryan street, west, was
secured through the kindness of Messrs.
Youmans G. Demmonds, agents and it will
ne made the depot for the receipt of cloth
ing of all sorts. Attire for males and fe-
males will be gladly accepted by the
Kings Daughters, who will be in charge
of the place to-day. The store will be
open from 10 until 2 O'Clock, and any con-
tributons of clothing will be received by
the ladies' and sent on to Jacksonville.
Mr.. Solomons was induced to provide
for the contributions of clothing through
the many inquiries he received as to
whether clothing was desired. No provis-
ion had been made for its reception, but
Mr. Solomons appreciated its need, know
ing that so many of the Jacksonville peo-
pie had escaped with little more than their
lives. He accordingly saw Mayor Myers,
chairman of the relief organization, ard
it was agreed that a receiving depot for
clothing should be established.
The Mayor will forward large amount
to Jacksonville to-day. He had not de-
termined yesterday through just what
channel to send the money, but it is prob
able that it will go to the Mayor of Jack
sonville or to the relief committee that
has been organized there. 1t is not un-
likely that as much as $500 will be sent
That will not represent Savannah's total
contribution, as the receipts from the per-
formance of "Richeheu" at the Savannah
Thester tomorrow night will probably be
several hundred dollars, and the entire
proceeds will be sent to Jacksonville.
The amusements committee, Mr.. B. ].
Apple chairman, was busy yesterday
disposing of tickets and advertising the
performance. From the rate at which
tickets We're going, it seemed rather GER
tain that there will be large house,
despite the fact that it will be the second
presentation of the play within short
time The cast is rehearsing, and there
is every reason to believe that decided
Improvement over the first very credi-
table performance Will be seen. The
usual seat sale will open at the Theater
box office this morning.
The list of donations to the relief of
Jacksonville is long, showing that great
many have responded. The following are

the five committees that have reported
