Both classes held meetings during
the evening, and the rivalry resulting
from their sessions ended in the kid

given at the Sigma Alpha Epsilon

the fraternity house and see how the
upper class men were enjoying them
selves.
They found the lawn around the
Sigma Alpha Epsilon house covered
with lanterns and the men and women
promenading. The freshmen concluded
that the lanterns could easily be dis
pensed with and the sophomores forced
to seek further amusement in the
house. Around in the shadows the
freshmen, men and women. gathered,

grounds and took down all the Jap

double sleeve now so popular. The
idea is that of a comparatively heavy
outer sleeve, cut away to show the

even though she may not act on any
definite principle. But artistic feeling
is rare thing: therefore, the double
sleeve is the occasion of many artistic
atrocities. One actually sees such
sleeves cut in two at the elbow, In or

without any apparent connection with
the shoulder, and nothing to prevent it,
so far as the eye can see, from sliding
off the arm. The sleeve may with
perfect propriety be slashed at the ell

it in two for the purpose of inserting

patchwork of it. Another custom Is to
put the material with which the sleeve

Cornerstone of Winnie Davis Mem0-
rial VIII BE Laid.
Ar event that will be memorable in
the history of the Georgia Division Of
the Daughters of the Confederacy will
be the laying of the cornerstone of the
Winnie Davis memorial in Athens on
the afternoon of Saturday. Nov. 1. 1t
is an event of particular interest to
the Savannah Chapter, since no other
earnestly nor with better success to-
wards its accomplishment.
The suggestion that the memorial to
Miss Davis should assume the form Of
a dormitory for the shelter of ambitious
young women-the descendants of Con-
federate soldiers--anxious to avail
themselves of the educational advan-
tages offered at the Normal School,
met with ready response from the
Daughters of the Confederacy through
out the state. and nowhere more en-
thusiastic than in Savannah. The chill
dren of the Winnie Davis Chapter have
been as untiring in their efforts and
almost as successful as the members
of the elder chapter, and ii is a matter
OF no lncOnSlQerdDle BrdIlucat1On TO see
the goal of their labors in sight.
The delegates to the annual meeting
of the society in LAGRANGE will, 1t is
probable, go to Athens to be present at
the ceremonies attendant upon the lay
ing of the cornerstone. Gen. John b.
Gordon has been selected to make the
address, as it was he who. on the Goth

The hostess, when her guests have
arrived, informs the men that they
must propose to every girl in the room
within a stated period of time. She
also tells them they must do 1t in
proper style, and take her off to one
of the cozy corners or secluded hooks
she has arranged about the rooms.
She then takes her women guests aside
and gives each of them half as many
little red hearts of paper. flannel silk
or any convenient material, as there
are men in the party. She also gives
each girl an equal number of tiny
white mittens.
At signal of the hostess, every man
selects a girl and asks her to marry
him, pressing his suit until he is
forced to leave her by the jingle OF
the hostess bell. He then proposes
to another girl, and so on until he has
laid his heart at the feet of every one
in the party. The girls distribute the

specific charge is robbery by force, the
warrant alleging that they secured
$3.50 from the mate.
The two escapes which Chief Deputy
Sheriff Sweeney brought to Savannah
with him from Philadelphia will also
| be tried. These are Arthur Singleton
and Charles Green, the former having
escaped in 1896 and the latter in 1898.
| Owing to the long vacation which they
have had and the trouble and expense
experienced in their recapture, II is
probable that the court will remand
them to their old home for quite a
| long term, the new sentence to be
served after the conclusion of the un-
finished one.

to the detectives and police. will face

A QUEER SEA MONSTER.
Apparently Part Fish, Part Reptile
and Part Beast.

A most remarkable monster of
fish was caught a few days ago I'm
Bay Adam. an inlet of the Gulf on the
lower coast, says the New Orleans
Times-Democrat Natives of the vicin-
ity call the monster a devil fish, but
this is only because no other name
more appropriate could be conceived
on short notice. The fish was caught
by William A. Wenck, who owns an
electric launch. and had taken Mr.. and
Mrs. ]. G. Wenck and their guest, Mr..
Howe of st. Louis, on fishing excur-
sion. The fish was hooked on Mr..
Howe's line, which was rugged for tar
pom. but William Wenck finally land
ed It,
It is necessary to be singularly plain
and modest in describing this WONDER
full creation in order that the scientific
world may have a ciear-cut idea of Il.
for. unfortunately, three pictures
taken by Mr.. Wenck, were lightstruck
and could not be developed.
BY actual weight the monster weigh
ed 100 pounds. It's head was like that
of a turtle. except that its under lip
protruded in a pronounced pout, like
the lip of All angry rhinoceros. It's
body was black, and reminded MIR.
Wenck of the body of bat. Pendant
to this body and used by the monster
were black batty wings. showing faint
polka dots of blush hue. The tail OF
the fish, or bat-beast, was something
like that of a stingaree
When caught a number of small fish
were found spitted to this sting or
dagger, as liver and bacon are spitted
with a stick. 1t is presumed that the
monster was keeping them there until
he became hungry enough to eat them,
for he really did not bite on the line,
but was hooked by accident in the
top of the head. Finally. the tongue
of this most extraordinary creature
was found to be three inches long long
Snd as hard as flint. 1t fitted against
a similar hard substance in the upper
part of the mouth. With this he
ground fish or oysters into fine frag-
ments. Shells and bones could not
stand against the grinding motion. 1t
is said by fishermen that the noise
made by the meeting of the upper jaw
and tongue causes such terror to little
fish that they are deprived of motion
and easily captured.
Men who have studied fish deeply are
at loss how to properly classify the
new monster. When cut into pieces,
the flesh of the monster was found to
be very fresh and savory, and pleasant
to the palate OF man or beast. Its meat
resembled beefsteak and tasted some
thing like lamb chops.
