her punishment in silence.

Today she had nerved herself for q
supreme effort that she might do no
wrong to the sister who had stepped
into the place she had voluntarily re-
signed.
She had thought love not worth the
sacrifice of art, and If art without love
had turned to dust and ashes in her
hand who was to blame but herself?
She was waiting for Rex-Rex, who
had fallen such a helpless victim to
Madge that he had had scarcely look
or a word to spare for her the whole
month. 1t was this that had first
taught her what she had lost and that
had afterward nerved her to play her
part-for weeks experience had
taught her that it was only part-of
careless Indifference and entire alb
sorption in her art.
When it seemed too hard for her, she
reminded herself sternly of her own
words, Il am satisfied with my life as
it is''
'They shall never see am not salts
fed" she said and struggled on.
Today there was set, stern look on
her face, for this was to be the SUI
preme ordeal, and at present there was
no one to see her. But as she leaned
her head listlessly against the window
there came from the hall the sound of
a familiar whistle, and instantly her
expression changed. A smiling, ex-
pectant face greeted Rex as he entered,
and she scrutinized him with playful
anxiety.

are side by side on the piano." she be.

asked.

He had seized the hand she had offer

face
What do you say to the question
having been asked already?"
The last month had wrought many
changes in George. She had. for one
thing, learned to keep her face under
control, and only the slightest trem-
bling of the eyelid showed that she
was taken by surprise.

The reply was couched in fewer

Forrest had with him 800 men, and
Wharton's force numbered 1000 sabers.
Both columns attacked simultaneously.
Three Confederate batteries rained
shots upon the Federals, raking the
line lengthwise. In his first rush For
rest carried the outer trenches, but
Harding safely withdrew his men and
guns to shorter line. To prevent the
removal of the guns the Confederates
aimed at the horses and shot down all
but the wheel team of one piece. After
seeing the other guns safe the can
noneers returned in the face of Whar-
TOMS onrushing line to recover the one
in danger. Cutting loose the four dead
animals, the driver mounted, but the
off horse was instantly shot, leaving the
gun helpless. The cannoneers fought
with rammers and spikes until over
powered. Meanwhile the Illinois men
poured biting rifle fire upon the
charging ranks. Forests horse was
shot and fell with his rider. Supposing
their leader killed, the troopers turned
and fed.
With the repulse of Forrest, Hard
ing's men again occupied the old lines.
A thirty-two FOUNDER siege gun was
brought to bear upon the threatened
point and double shotted with canister.
Forests men rushed forward, to be
met with the canister at ten PAGES.

MlNSTRELS WILL
REHEARSE EVERY NIGHT,
ogiethorpes Promise the Public a
Polished Production.

oglethorpes Promise the Public a
Polished Production.
The talent in the oglethorpe's vaude-
vile and minstrel show, which will he
given Tomorrow week at the theater,
are putting on the finishing touches to
their performance. Rehearsals with full
orchestra will be held every night this
week, at which the entire programme
will be gone through. 1t is the DUR
pose of the promoters of the perform
ance to put on a polished production.
and to this end they promise no pains
will be spared.
One of the features of the nerfornn-
ance will be the sextette of young Ia
dies who will contribute several num-
pers OF the programme. Rehearsals
nave been held almost every night at
the homes of the young ladies. The
costumes for this feature were ordered
from New York, and, like all of the
otner costumes in the play, are I'M
commonly pretty. The Oglethorpes
want to present performance that is
lacking in amateurish ear-marks. and
IN SO doing are entailing considerable
expense.
That they will be repaid by a packed
house is clearly indicated in the sale
OF tickets. Already the boxes have all
been spoken for. The military organi-
cations, in their desire to see the per-
Iormance. and incidentally help their
brothers in arms, have declared off all
drills for that evening, and will no
doubt be out in force. The sale of
seats begins next Saturday at the box
Office, when all tickets which have been
previously sold may be exchanged for
| reserved seats.

side in Hawaii.

Washington, Jan, 19.-Some funny
things about semi-oriental life are told
In the voluminous report, which SEN
ator Mitchell of Oregon recently made
to the Senate on his trip of investiga-
ton to the Hawaiian Islands last sum-
mer. He and his colleagues took vast
deal of testimony, and from q large
number Of witnesses. One Of these was
D. q. Camarinos. who is described as
"a very intelligent and educated
Greek" His opinion Of the Chinee is
apparently not altogether friendly. Mr..
Canarinos lamented the invasion of
Chinese into the various trades, and
their ingenuity in forging to the front
and in crowding out white people.
Look at the restaurants In Homo
lulu" exclaimed this son of liberty low
ing men. who was born at Sparta. TT
is remarkable to see such signs as The
Dewey or Uncle Sans restaurant or
other restaurants run under American
patriotic names.
You enter the restaurants and you
flnd that Chinese are running them. It
is the same in most Of the restaurants,
stores, offices, and other establishments
of the city. Where you do not find
Oriental managers you find Asiatic en-
ployes. The .Asiatics are our carpen-
tiers, our drivers. our statesmen, our
cooks, our servants, our gardeners, our
grocers, our farmers. God knows
what they will be next. They may be
our masters yet"

vital importance to so many states of
the South are being received daily.
The programme for the convention
has not yet been prepared and doubt
less will not be completed for some
months vet, but the general idea of
the questions to come before the con-
vention is that study should be made
of the methods of cultivating cane,
first, in the United States then in the
West Indies, in Hawaii, South Ameri-
ca and all other places where it is
grown extensively; then ii is expected
to have present at the meeting many
makers of machinery used in grinding
cane and perfecting its products, and
these will be asked to discuss with the
delegates their needs in the matter Of
special machinery, with a view of
adapting mills to the needs of particu-
lar sections.
One of the questions of most vital
Importance that will be discussed, how
ever, is that of extending and develop
ing the market for Georgia syrup, as
on the ability to market the produce
depends the whole fate of the indus
try. Still another matter likely to be
discussed is the ACCESSIBILITY of estab-
fishing large mills in central locations,
easily reached by the cane growers for
many miles around, and capable of
handling a very large quantity of cane.
Such mills, it is thought, would settle
for all time the present trouble In Sc
curing uniformity of boiling, lack of
uniformity being the chief drawback
to small mills.
In former conventions of cane grow
ers, held in this state. the chief con-
sideration, If not the only considera-
ton, was given to the manufacture of
syrup. At the next convention the
making of sugar will receive an equal
amount of attention. The present diff
ffculty in the making of sugar from
Georgia cane is the shortness of the
time between the maturity of the cane
and the coming of frost: cane that has
been touched by frost, though IL may
produce syrup, is incapable of making
sugar through a chemical change call
ed inversion. What is needed to over
come this drawback is some way of
Fastening the maturity of the cane. Is
1t possible. and how to do il. win be
one of the matters discussed.

striving to construct simple, prao-
ticable motor-driven machine, but with
indifferent success, until the invention
OF the Harrison Hill. Experts who
have critically examined the Harrison
Hill testify that it's merits excel those
of the writing machines now on the
market; that it can be made for less
and sold for more than any of the
present standard typewriters.
The advantages claimed for the Har-
rison-Hill machine are that 1t is
lighter and more compact than any
OF the prevailing styles of writing
machines. 1t is practically noiseless,
and can be operated with a saving of
80 per cent. of physical force, at the
same time permitting a speed increase
of 30 per cent. The operator merely
touches the keys instead of striking
them. Very little pressure is required,
and the depression is scarcely appre-
ciable. The key is moved just far
enough to make an electrical connec-
ton. Electricity does the rest. The
type Is brought into position, is lock-
ed in place, the impression is made. AS
the operator only touches the keys Il
is easy to understand how the speed
may readily be increased so per cent,
One of the great objections to the
typewriter has been the nerve-racklng
roise which its operation involves The
power for the new machine is supplied
by the ordinary electric light wire.
and where the typewriter is to be
used places not wired, an ordinary
battery is employed.
Savannahians are interested in the
invention because It is the work OF
savannah men. Mr.. Harrison is a well
known member of the Savannah bar.
and was for a long time official court
stenographer. Mr.. Hill is a scientific
machinist and a graduate of the same
neurological school as Nikola Tesla.
at Gratz, Austria. Mr.. Harrison was
an expert operator on the Hammond
typewriter and the most of his experi-
ments In the application Of electricity
as motive power were made with
the Hammond machine.
The electric machine is very similar
In It's general appearance to the Ham
mond, though, of course, it is largely
dinerent In the details Of construction
and operation.
Mr.. Prendergast, who is president of
the new company, is a we'll known Sa-
MAMMALIAN, and was familiar with the
hammond typewriter. In that way he
became interested in Mr.. Harrison's
experiments. He was at once Impress
ed with the practicability and value of
the electrical attachment and backed

In their work. When the utility of the
machine was demonstrated he under.

pany with a capital of 5000 900, to man
