for a long time in the savings bank of
which Hiram Roberts was president.
In the latter part of his life he re-

1t was formerly the case that heav
lily laden steamers approaching Au-

twenty miles away and lighter their
cargoes from the point of anchorage
to the city. This is no longer the
case, and for twenty miles from Au

N0RDICA AND SCHLEY.
Diva and Naval Hero Greeted with
Cheers.

Nine. Lillian Nordica sang last night
before an audience which completely
filled the theater and which applauded
so enthusiastically that she was forced
to sing twice as many numbers as
there We're on the programme. The most
distinguished and not the least enthus-
iastic person in the audience was Ad-
miral w. S. Schley, who, with Mrs.
Schley, occupied A box as the guests
of Gen. and Mrs w. w Gordon.
The curtain of the stage had been
rung up when Admiral Schley entered
the theater, though Nine. Nordica had
not yet arrived. The audience was
eagerly watching first the stage and
then the door AS soon the Admiral
entered and was recognized he
was greeted with handclapping from
every part of the theater, and then the
orchestra struck up the Star Spangled
Banner" which brought forth more
cheers and handclapping by the time
the Admiral had reached his box the
whole audience had risen and remained
standing until the hero had bowed on
all sides and had taken his seat. The
orchestra played Dixie" and another
demonstration followed
Another round of applause greeted
Madame Nordica, "A few moments later
and this was followed after each Sc
lection, with similar demonstrations
until even after the last number of
the programme had been sung the
singer was forced to come back and
give Just one more song" before the
people would leave their seats.
1t was near the middle of the pro-
gramme that Madame Nordica sang
AT Parting and, as if in appreciation
of the sentiment of the song Admiral
Schley presented her magnificent
bouquet Of roses and shook hands with
her across the foot-lights. Though the
song had been finished, when Madame
Nordica returned to the center of the
stage she sang again the refrain,

REGISTERING RAPIDLY.
SavannaIlians Anxious to Be in Po-
sition to Cast Their Ballots.

The registration of voters continues
steadily One hundred and sixty one
names were added to the list on yes
terday. This brings the total registra-
ton up to 29S.
The new system that has been placed
in operation in the Office of the tax
collector permits the registration of
voters with a very much greater de-
gree of rapidity than has been the
case in the past and anyone who de-
sires to qualify as a voter has no trou-
Bile in getting his name on the list
The rapidity with which voters are
being registered seems to indicate that
there will be considerable interest in
the state and county elections that are
to take place next October and in the
primary by the results of which the
fate of those who enter the regular
election will be foreshadowed. 1t is
rarely the case that so many voters
qualify to cast their ballots so early
in the game
