"AH, THE BONNIE LASSES"
Mr.. Arthur j. O'Hara's Happy Re-
Spouse to Woman.

Mr.. Arthur j. OHara's response to
"Ah! the Bonnie Lasses," was the last
toast of the evening, but it lost none
of it's spicy flavor or beauty by being
kept until the other and sturdier
speeches had been disposed of. Mr.
O'Hara suggested that in inviting him
to respond to the toast of woman, the
society had rudely shattered an idol
and dispeiled long-lived delusion
From time immemorial, he said it
has been believed difficult and almost
impossible for Scotchman to see a
joke, and yet they had selected as
the spokesman of the bonnie lasses,
not as would seem fitting, a Benedict
but forlorn old bachelor. If this be

Mr.. Hitch paid glowing tribute to
Savannah, the city of his adoption. In
referring to the sister societies of st.
Andrew, he dwelt upon two, the Uni
versity Club. devoted not only to the
furtherance of cOngenialty and good
fellowship among it's members, but
combining in its aims the more serious
purposes of assisting worthy young
men to obtain an education and of
spreading and augmenting the at
tachment of our citizens to Georgia's
famous institution of learning, and the
Victoria Society, named in honor of
the most illustrious queen that ever
graced a throne. In referring to the
University Club he remarked upon the
memory Of a Savannahian in whose
honor a noble building stands on the
university campus-Brantley A. Den
mark, than whom. he said, there has
lived no man of sterner fidelity, more
incorruptible integrity, stalwart hon.
esty and purity of character.
In honor Of the Victoria Society he
paid a gracious and eloquent tribute
to the late ruler of the English peo-
pie.

of brutality perpetrated in the sacred

milk of human kindness while we are
trampling them down with the cold

woman is never more logical than

she most generally is, and never more

The Emancipated Woman! AIcs!
But woman is invading the domain
of man we are told; she is emancipat-
ing herself from the drudgery of the
home life; she is casting off the tram
mels of wifehood and motherhood.
Alas for the times and alas for the
morals which find in this so-called, or
rather miscalled emancipation, a
cause for rejoicing. When woman
leaves her God-given sphere to tostle
against man in the fierce struggle of
business it does not make, as has been
claimed, for the elevation of man, but
rather for the degradation of woman
Talk about the emancipation of
woman" said Mr. O'Hara "as a sin

me lift my feeble voice for the eman-
cipation of man. Poor, downtrodden
man! The subject of the tyrant wom-
an. When she fails to conquer us by
the tyranny of tears, she falls back
with unfailing success on the tyranny
of hattery."
On second thought Mr. OHara add
ed that he would not lift his voice
against this tyranny. First, because
it is useless, and second, because it is
tyranny so charming that men wear
their chains with pleasure, and kiss the
hands that bind them on.

The WomanIy Woman.

"Give me the womanly women!" he
said. Let who will, run after false
gods,-I means false goddesses-in the
shape of mannish woman-she who
quarrels with the Creator for not max
ing her a man, and who struts and
rants in public life to the disgust alike
of man and woman. For to all right
minded men and women, if there be
aught more worthy of contempt and
condemnation than an effeminate man,
it is a masculine woman.
Does woman ask for titles. Why,
she has them. And to the greatness of
those titles years cannot add nor So
called progress give increase. There
are no nobler titles than hers, the
queen of hearts and the queen of
homes; old-fashioned, maybe. yet in the
home as the mistress of the family
the basis of all society," does woman
reign supreme and exercise a power,
greater than the tread of mighty ar
mics, or the imposing array of colos-
sal fleets.

Mr.. Hobson referred to the military
spirit of Savannah, it's esprit du corps.
From it's very foundation" he said
Savannah has been distinctively char
acteriZed by a military spirit. His
tory tells us that before the good ship
Anne set sail from Gravesend, with
the small contingent of colonists. one
hundred and sixteen in all, and Ogle-
thorpe at their head, these future Sa-
vannahians were organized in the old
country and taught the military
spirit of the Guards" and how to
carry musquets, bayOnets and swords.

is it?
But since poor woman must needs
have a spokesman" said Mr.. O'Hara,"
being as we all know, backward in
speaking for herself, poor thing, per-

forward a bachelor who breads no cur

whose every word would be weighed

sheehy has been working on
ranches near town and came in last

He said he had been chased away
from the ranch by them and was &C
to come to town. Later in the
evening he was found at Smiths liv-

Peter English Held for Passing
Counterfeit Coin.

.M- "...H
Peter English, a young white man
with auburn hair, is in the city Jail
and will be turned over to the United
States authorities on a charge of
counterfeiting.
English came to the city with the
influx due to fair week and is a
stranger here. For several nights he
made his sleeping place in a shepherd
er's wagon near the Donovan-McCor-
mick's warehouse and was arrested
by the police Saturday night on a
charge Of vagrancy. In searching him
at the Jail the officers found two
counterfeit silver dollars in his pocket.
They are very poorly executed and
English volunteered the information
that he had had some better ones
which he had gotten rid of. He re-
fused to state whether he manufacture
ed the co~unterfeits or not, but on his
own admission is guilty of passing
counterfeit money, which is quite as
serious a charge as making it..
Chief Jackson has wired the Unit
ed States marshal at Helena and will
await orders from him. Nothing will
be done with the case most likely,
until Commissioner Fraser returns
from Butte. the last of the week.
