A Fair OF There are two hale
wise ola ''f'S' and hearty old rob-
ms nesting up in the park who
have the art of good living down
to an exact science. They have
nestled and reared their young in
the trees of the park for the past
five or six seasons, and so we'll
satisfied are they with their &C.
commodations that they seldom 60
outside the walls in search of food
or recreation.
Every evening when Sinbad
appears with his hose to water the
lawns these wise old birds fly down
from their house in the tree top
and gather a harvest of worms,
which come to the surface of the
ground under the delusion that it
is raining. They are absolutely
fearless and dash in and out of
the spray and between the gar
dener's feet with reckless daring
that would lead one to believe
they were starving. After eating
their fill, the birds hop sedately
along beside the man with the
hose and cooking their heads to
one side, oversee the job. They
evidently believe it's only object
is to lure worms to destruction.
Sinbad has grown much at
tached to the robins. He says he
is studying their ways and Ian
guage and may turn it to some
use in the future. In speaking of
the matter, he said:
"My desire to master ornitho
logical lore in general is not over
weening," he explained, shifting
his hose from one hand to the
other. II am usually satisfied
almost satiated, in fact-by the
sight Of a sitting hen, but if them
two birds didn't come around here

worms what breeds between them

vivial and companionable-like as
"a tank full of conger cells, and no
man can say fairer than that.
And if you think they doesn't
realize where the best worms is to
be found, they'll take you out
some day and fool you up a whole
lot. When you gets as wise as
them robins you'll be dom WE'LL"

A Memorial More than five hun
DaS Spree dred men put in a
solid mornings pleasure within
these walls last Thursday, when, in
recognition of Memorial Day,
discipline was relaxed for the time
being and few hours were given
over to enjoyment. First there
was an entertainment in the chap
ell, consisting of music, laughter
and recitation, after which all the
inmates were given their liberty
in the park to pass the balance of
the morning in any way they
chose.
The chapel entertainment was
entirely and wholesomely enjoy
able. "Charley" Fairchild, who
has made merry the inmates of
this prison several times before,
was there, primed with new jokes
and good stories to inspire laughter
and likewise a few of more quiet
and thoughtful tone. His reading
of "Mandelay" and Tommy At
kins," from Kipling's "Barrack
Room Ballads" made decided
hit and his encores were so fire.
quent that he was at last forced
to admit that his repertoire was
exhausted.
With the exception of two de-
lightful little slumber songs by
Miss Laura Elliott, the greater
portion of the musical program
was of a patriotic character. The
ball opened with Listen to The
Band" by the choir, which was
followed by a contralto solo by
Miss Lawrence of st. Paul. The
balance of the extended program

child, Miss Lawrence, Miss Helen
Curver, Miss Bessie Goodkin,
Miss Elliott and Miss Alma Wag-
ner, and was brought to a close
with a solo and chorus, "Coon,
Coon, Coon,'' by the choir. 81
Out in the yard all sorts of
sports were in evidence. The
men ran races, played games,
walked about making plans for
the exchange of newspapers and
periodicals, listened to the music
of the giant phonograph which
was over beside the shoe shop,
laid under the trees and talked
in fact did anything their fancy
moved them to. Warden Wolfer
and Deputy Warden Glennon
were all over the Park at once.
They inaugurated sports of diff
ferent kinds and looked to it that
the interest did not flag for a
moment.
Instigated by the deputy ward
en-, a colored gentleman with the
terpsichorean art at the tip of
his toes mounted high platform
and executed buck and wing dances
to the music of the photograph.
He possessed an abandon which
is truly professional, and the
stimulating influence of a large
and appreciative audience en-
couraged him into giving vent to
steps and figures such as are sell
dom seen on the vaudeville stage.
Another enthusiastic group
gathered about a blanket spread
on the turf and watched "Porty,"
the wizard of our colonial possess
sions, tie himself into hard knots,
turn the acknowledgements,
spin the wagon wheel and go
through other contortions peculiar
to his native heath. Everybody
relaxed and everybody enjoyed
himself, and when the whistle
sounded the return to the cell
house it was a happy-faced lot of
men that formed into line: In
the afternoon special writing priv
ileges were granted to all the
prisoners. the next yard day
will be the fourth of July.

SOME HAPPENINGS
OF THE WEEK.
DIAMOND FOUND AFTER Is YEARS.

D1AMOND FOUND AFTER 70 YEARS.
Mrs. D. w. Cunningham, a
prominent resident of Marshal
town, Iowa, has again come into
possession of a diamond ring
which she lost while working in
her garden twenty-five years ago.
The ring was her wedding ring
and although she knew where she
lost it, the most careful search on
many occasions resulted in failure.
II was found few days ago by a
neighbor who saw the glitter Of
the diamond while walking across
the lawn, and restored it to Mrs.
Cunningham, who doubly prizes
it, since her husband, who pre-
sented it to her, passed away but
few days before.
THE PLATON1C LOVE LETTERS OF
CHARLES DICKENS.
For more than fifty years an
Englishwoman (who is still living)
has cherished a little sheaf of
letters written by Charles Dickens.
These charming letters show the
novelist in new part-that of. the
successful matchmaker. They tell
the story of another mans court
ship and show how the writer
spurred a faint heart into winning
a fair lady.
They will be printed-for the
first time-in The Saturday Even
ing Post for June Is.
BUTTE GOING DOWN HILL.
The city of Butte, Mont, is fast
going to the bad and no efforts of
reform leagues or purity organi-
cations can check it. For years
the town has been sliding down a
hillside, and recently five great
cracks have appeared in the earth
in the heart of the city.
There is no caving. but distinct
parting of the earth and the granite
walls can easily be seen in them.
Elevations and bench marks in
certain parts of the city are con-
stantly changing, particularly
west of Main street and north of
Broadway, where the marks have
been known to shift to the extent
of foot in very short space of
time.
What is the cause of the strange
phenomenon is not known, but
he continuance of it is beginning
to alarm some of the residents.

WHO WILL MAKE THE TRIP.
Guards and Veterans to Decide the
Point This Evening.

Tonight will decide what number of
the Savannah Volunteer Guards Battal-
ion will make the trip to Memphis as
escort to the Confederate Veterans As
ISOLATION. Meetings and drills of all the
batteries will be held and the matter de-
bated and determined
The officers of the battalion have been
making quiet efforts during the past two
or three weeks to secure the promise of
all the men who can possibly give it to
make the trip and it is hoped that even
if the full battalion cannot go, because
of the season of the year and other dis
advantages under which the corps la
bors just at present that a least two
batteries, made up from the membership
of them all, can go.
Tonight also the members of the Con-
federate Veterans Association who will
attend the reunion are to meet at the
residence of Judge Falligant when final
preparations for the trip will be made.
The veterans have already determined to
make the trip by way of Birmingham, 60
ing as far as that point over the lines

EPW0RTH CONFERENCE ENDED
Delegates and Visitors VIII Leave
for Home To-day.

The ninth annual conference of the
Georgia Epworth Leagues closed yesteT-
day. The leaguers held two early services
at Wesley Monumental Church, where all
of the meetings have been held, one the
Bible study class, conducted by Rev A.
c. Hart of Mobile at $3.50 O'Clock, and the
second a mission study class conducted
by Rev. p. L. Cobb, at 1915 O'Clock
These We're really the last of the league
meetings as the delegates attended Il
o'clock service not in a body but at
many of the city churches, and though
many probably all of the delegates were
at the meeting at the Tabernacle in the
afternoon to hear the temperance address
of Rev. George r. Stewart, that was a
more general, than a league meeting
The majority of the delegates and the
visitors to the conference will leave for
home to-day, many going on the early
trains; others will go a. different times
during the day, and but few, indeed, will
remain over night, though yesterday
many of them expressed the wish to do
so in order to hear Rev. Sam Jones.
Taking the conference all in all it has
been quite a successful one, and because
of the many radical changes adopted
probably is one of the most important
ones that has been held, or that will be
held for some years.
The delegates have all had pleasant
time. and the majority of them, especially
those of the North Georgia conference
have expressed their regrets that it will
not be possible TO meet here again soon

FOR JONES FIRST AND LAST.
Rev. BaScOm Anthony on the Evan
EeIiSt and His Work.

Rev. Bascom Anthony in introducing
Rev. S. w. Walker 10 the congregation
of Trinity Church yesterday morning had
few words TO say in reference to Rev.
Sam Jones.
Il have no apologies to make for Mr..
jones" said Mr. Anthony "He repre-
sents himself and is able to do his own
talking. l am glad that l contributed my
mite to bringing him to Savannah. 1 have
only this to say about him; he is for all
things good. and against all things bad,
therefore I am for him soul and body.
IF you are against him you need not
take up your time or mine to tell me of
it, ] am for him first, last and all tine
time ! am glad to sec the deep concern
being manifested i'm this city for the well
fare of the wives and daughters of our
people l am sorry this sentiment did not
arise sooner. for any woman living on
any Of our principal thoroughfares
cannot sit on the stoop without her ears
being offended with profanity or vulgar
ity. 1t is daily matter, when the streets
are crowded, to hear oaths and BIAS
phemy. l am delighted to see our com
munity awaking to the Importance of pro-
tecting our females only l think il is
beginning in the wrong place.
II sec this meeting from which the
woman are being sought to be protected
referred 10 as a circus, and some of the
belated ones saying. had they known all
about 1t. the use OF the Park Extension
should not have been granted to US All
Eave to say is that the last thing for
which the park was granted was the Elks
or the knights of Pythias' carnival at
which time the Midway Plaisance, with it's
elevating performances and the dignifed
coochee-coochee dance, was put before the
pubic. ! remember no protests against
it, only a few remarks by some of the
preachers. | further remember to have
heard that it was literally patronized. If
remember right, the city fathers had a
specidl night there. while at all seasons
it was open for the wives and daughters
OF the city. To indorse all that and
then become alarmed because Sam Jones
is coming is to repeat the old folly of
straining out the gnats and swallowing
the camels."
