CITY COURTS LONG SESSION.
Many without Visible Means of
Livelihood Faced the Court.

The session of the City Court yester-
day was one of the most tiresome, and
at once interesting. that has been held
in long time. From 10 o'clock in the
morning until night, the court was
engaged in the trial of criminal jury
cases, and the disposition of Jail deliv-
cries. More than a score of convic-
tions followed. Dan Charlton, Esq,
prosecuted for the state.
1t seemed that the police had inau-
gurated a vagrancy raid, for there
were no less than a dozen individuals
before his honor charged with having
no visible means of support. Two of
these had the nerve to demand jury
trials, a proceeding almost unheard of
in City Court circles. Both of the de-
PENDANTS denied the allegation of hav-
ing no visible means of support, but
not producing any evidence to the con-
trary. the jury, which was evidently
composed of gentlemen from Missouri
quickly returned a verdict of guilty
Judge Norwood gave both defendants,
Sarah Spalding and Ruth Keepler a
dose of 1903"
There were others tried for Vagrancy
the punishment meted out being the
same in every case. None of the ac-
cused were able to produce the where
WITH and were accordingly provided
with support at the county farm and
changing.

AGAINST GOVERNMENT
OWNERSHIP

1t was decided by the Y. NJ. C. A.
Literary Society last night in debate
that the United States government
should not control the railroads, tele-
graph and telephone lines.
The affirmative arguments were led
by Mr.. c. f. Stanton and Mr.. A. o.
B. Bailey; the negative by Mr.. c. Z.
Donolly and Mr.. VIM. Coolidge. Prof.
T. H. Gignilliat was judge of the de-
bate The meeting was largely at
tended and nearly every one present
took part pro or con in the argument.
The subject was cleverly handled in
the confident manner which evidenced
a thorough knowledge and careful
preparation by both sides. The differ
ent speeches conveyed many additional
and interesting facts to those pres
'ent who had not looked upon the sub
ject from both view points. Several
new members were enrolled.
The subject for debate at the next
meeting is: Resolved, That the United
States Navy should be increased

LENTEN VIRTUES.

From the Viewpoint of Peter and
Belinda.
Belinda slipped off her raincoat,
handed her umbrella to Peter to dis
pose of, and seated herself at the little
table in the confectioner's shop.
What shall We have to-day?" asked
Peter. Something and cherries %
Not a cherry" said Belinda, rails
ing a forbidding finger.

ter.
"a Lenten sacrifice" said Belinda,
with the air of conscious virtue.
But such a gloomy day. and cher
ries are so enlivening," submitted Pc
ter.
Belinda shook her head as one above
temptation. For forty days not a
cherry shall pass my lips" she de-
clared.
"Horrible!" said Peter with a shud-
der. Positively mediaeval!' He stop
ped to order chocolate. and who
would have suspected it," he went on
absently, Ito see you coming down the
street this morning.
Don't 1 look good?" demanded Be
linda with indignation.
You look awfully nice in your rainy
day toys" said Peter. "You make me
think OF that old verse,

Here he handed Belinda her choco-
late.
The rest of it is extremely naughty"
said Belinda, severely, land, besides,

litely.

How unreasonable men are" observ-
ed Belinda to the air. You know 1

my dear Peter, that is the way to be
good in Lent? You must do all the
things you don't want to do, and never
a thing you like"
"Oh, must you?" said Peter. well,
If you are positively determined to be
good, l suppose l must be, too"
That's lovely of you, Peter" said
Belinda, with enthusiasm.
And 1 had better begin at once,
hadn't I?' said Peter. I've lost two
days already. 1 shall go this very
afternoon to see that pretty Miss
Brown, and tell her all the sweet things
l am longing to say to you"
"Oh, Peter, do you think that would
be quite wiser" said Belinda, hurried
ly. She might believe you, you
know"

then, what does it matter about Miss
Brown when it would be so salutary
and Christening for me?"
And you might really get to care

ter rising, and taking up his hat.
'Twould be the reward of virtue. But

dear Belinda. For forty days we shall

The sale of reserved seats for "Floro-
dora" will open this morning. The mu-
steal comedy will be seen Tuesday
night. The popularity of "Florodora"
has never waned since il was first
brought to this country and presented
in New York by John c. Fisher and
Thomas w. Ryley. Doubtless the very
elaborate production given it. at that
time and since kept fully up to the
high standard of excellence. has had
much to do with its remarkable sue
cess, but it cannot be denied that the
many musical gems, contributed by its
composer, Leslie Stuart, has been the
real foundation for it's popularity. New
er in the history of the stage has there
been a musical comedy containing so
many melodious numbers, and when
one takes into consideration the real
worth of such melodies as Tell Me,
Pretty Maiden" Il Want to Be a Mil
itary Man." Under the Shade of the
Palms" "Galloping," etc, it is not to
be wondered at that "Florodora"
should have attained such universal
prestige.

AT THE THEATER

An extremely clever and finished
given yesterday by Primrose & Dock
stader, who undoubtedly proved their
claim to the production of the most
heightened and amusing entertainment
of the character on the stage. A no.
table feature of the piece was the
elaborate scenery and the ease and
celebrity with which it was shifted, no
perceptible delay being caused, and
new and artistic settings being fire.
quently presented. OF the performance
as a whole it is impossible to speak
too warmly.
The curtain went up on an empty
stage with a picturesque Italian back
ground, instead of discovering the per-
formers seated in the usual fashion,
and, the band leading the minstrels
marched in and took their places.
This innovation was most effective.
The band was good. and all the solos
were enjoyable, particularly clever be-
ing Eddie Leonards rendition of

song, when 1 Hold Your Hand in

and never failed to arouse a laugh
from the audience during the rest of
the show. At both the matinee and
evening performance, there was not a
moment from the olio to the fall of
the curtain on some remarkable hoop
rolling by the Young brothers, that the
large audience was not thoroughly
amused, and the applause at night was
particularly enthusiastic
At night, Primrose and Dockstader
made their entry together, and their
popularity with Savannah theater-
goers was shown by a welcome more
than cordial. Primrose's dancing was
more graceful than ever, and Dock
stader's jokes funnier Each perfect
in his own role, proved his title once
more as prince of entertainers.
Mr.. Primrose was seen by repre-
sentative of the Morning News at the
evening performance and very grace
fully expressed his pleasure at the
warm welcome accorded him in Sa-
vannah. He affirmed the report of
his intention to retire from the stage
after this season. He was accompa-

cupied one of the boxes during the
performance. He spoke with partic-
that had been paid him at the matt
nee, the gift of bouquet of flowers
with an attached card inscribed,

Prince of Minstrelsy." This, he said,
he should treasure especially among
his pleasant memories of Savannah.
