play.
If the sight does not afford pleasure
then you must be one OF the te"
whom the beautiful and artistic have
lost their power to charm. The de-
crees of fashions are as innoxerable
in jewelry as in the matter OF costume
and it is an absolute lesson in cor
rectness to see his elegant stock.

Sworn Out Yes
terday Charging Mem
bers with Gaming
HAD PRELIMINARY HEARING
Case Came Up Before Judge Lam.
bright Last Night and All were
Dismissed-Wili Leave Today
to Show in Tampa.

The Berger Carnival Company has
certainly played in the very worse
of luck here in Brunswick and has
been up against all kinds of propo
sitions.
In the very first place the city au
thorities did not take to their com.
ing very kindly, and after a number
OF special meetings Of council It was
finally decided that the company could
exhibit by paying to the city the sum
OF twenty-five dollars per dav.
This the company agreed to do and
the shows were announced ready for
business.
After the first performance an effort
was made to close the shows on the
grounds that certain conditions had
not been met.
This failed and the performances
were kept up.
Yesterday, however, Chief Burney
and the local police force went before
Justice Lambright and swore out war
rants against four of the members of
the concern, including Mr.. Berger.
charging them with gaming.
The case was called in the court
of Judge Lambright at o'clock last
night and after consultation it was
agreed to dismiss the warrants
against all of the defendants.
This decision on the part of all par.
ties at interest was warmly endorsed
on all sides and it is to- be hhoped that
the company will not experience any
more trouble in the city.
In this connection it may be Of in
terest to- say that the company has
dates for Tampa, and will levae prob
ably today for that city, where they
will remain for q week.

SOUTH WILL NOW GET
MUCH OF CUBAN TRADE.

New Orleans, La, Dec 19.-W. H.
Masters, traffic manager of the South
ern Pacific railroad, says the effect OF
the passage of the Cuban reciprocity
bill will be to- greatly increase COM
merce between New Orleans and CUBA.
A general increase is expected in
all kinds Of trade, both in carrying
from the United States to Cuba and
from Cuba to the United States. New
Orleans will be one of the American
points to most considerably profit by
the measure.
Trade in groceries, corn and general
cargo will increase very rapidly
While the company now operates only
one ship per week to Cuba, it seems
quite likely that others will have TO
be put into service,

Yesterday
ONE MADE GOOD HIS ESCAPE
The Other, Will Griffin, Sentenced to
Serve Fifteen Years in the Pen
itentiary, was Captured by
Officer owens.

Will Griffin and Charlie Green. two
negro criminals in The Glynn county
jail, yesterday made an attempt to
overpower the guard, NJ. G. Lowe, and
escape, and the negro Green succeed
ed in getting away, while Griffin. who
was convicted of rape in the superior
court Friday and sentenced to serve
IL years in the penitentiary, was cap
tured by Policeman A. L. Owens be.
fore he succeeded in getting many
yards from the Jail.
1t seems that Green was the trustee
at the Jail and has been trusted with
the keys to the different cells. Yes
terday Mr.. Lowe, after allowing the
prisoners their usual morning exercise
in the corridors, gave the keys to
Green, for the purpose of locking the
prisoners in their respective cells
1t seems that the two negroes had
planned their escape, and when the
guard went in to get the keys, the
two negroes, as quick as a flash,
sprang on him and then made their
break for liberty. Griffin went through
the front door and was seen by Off
Ger Owens, who joined in the chase
and soon captured him. Green made
his exit through the kitchen and jump
ed the rear fence and succeeded in
escaping,
1t is thought, however, that he is
still in the city and the officers are
keeping sharp watch for rim.

Big Liners Leave New York Loaded
With Presents.
New York, Dec. 19.-The big liners
which cleared for Europe today were
veritable Santa Claus ships, carrying
vast sums Of money and countless
other Christmas gifts to gladden. the
hearts of the folks in the "Old Coun-
try" There were some wild rushes
down at the wharves yesterday and
today by belated senders, and the box
which hung alongside the last-ton-come
ashore gangplank was filled and empt-
led many times.
At the foreign branch of the post
Office the clerks worked like beavers
and, appreciating the desire Of the
belated ones to get their Christmas
gifts off in time sold stamps and re-
ceived letters for many minutes after
the official closing time laid down by
the regulations. Extra trucks and ex-
ira help of all kinds had to be en-
ployed to get the mail to the ships.
On the Cunard and North German
Lloyd piers the scene of activity
lasted up to the moment of departure
and at that hundreds missed the mails
In the Wild scramble that went ton
during the last hours.
One ship carried more than 100000
monew orders, amounting to more
than $2,ooO,OoO. Other ships also had
their share and the total of these gifts
sent abroad amounts to a fabulous
sum. The money orders came from
all parts of the country New York
being the clearing point of $1,000
post offices in the United States from
which foreign orders can be issued.
