SAVANNAH MUST HAVE
AN AUDITORIUM
The Coming of Big Conventions Makes 1t a
Necessity
Necessity.

Savannah needs only one thing, so
far as 1 can see, and that is an audi
torium.
More than one member of the Geor-
gia Local Underwriters Association
made this statement yesterday. The
visitors declared that the city will have
to have an auditorium if it expects
to secure any number of big conven-
TONS "And this is an ideal convention
city," they said.
There can be no convention city
without an auditorium. Every person
who has been spoken to is certain of
this, and something must be done, and
must be done early. Maj. ]. Ferris
Cam is among the large number who
thinks that an auditorium should be
built. Just what feasible plan for the
raising of fund, for such a purpose,
can be instituted, Maj. Cam is not
prepared to say at this time Like all
enterprising citizens, however, he is
heartily in sympathy with the move
ment and would be willing to lend his
aid.
The question of a site has been dis
cussed by those INTERESTED in the au-
ditorium movement. 1t is not likely
the site question will be difficult one
a when it comes to the erection of the
building. Col. ]. H. Estill has already
offered a site at Estill avenue and
Price streets free for a period of years.
In connection with the auditorium
movement the following letter from a
former we'll known Savannahian will
be read with interest:

There is no more interesting figure
on the American stage than Joseph
Jefferson, and no other actor whose
strong and charming personality,
keenly felt through the characters he
interprets. has so endeared him to the
theater-going world. Yesterday at the
matinee, his appearance on the stage
was greeted by the audience, to most
of whom as Rip Van Wrinkle he was
familiar and beloved, with storm OF
applause entirely spontaneous and so
prolonged that for perceptible inter-
val he could not proceed with the lines
of the play. At the close of the hrst
act, there was another outburst OF APP
plause, and the audience refused TO De
satisfied until Mr.. Jefferson had come
before the curtain Even then it was
several moments before he could speak,
so warm was the welcome of hand
clapping.
An unfortunate accident to the light
ing apparatus near the end of the first
act, threw the theater into darkness
that lasted until the curtain fell and
rather marred the fine scene, although
the magnetism of Mr.. Jeffersons voice
was strongly felt. In his little curtain
speech afterwards, Mr.. Jefferson ex-
pressed his regret at the embarrassing
mishap to the lights, and thanked the
audience for it's hearty welcome.
An even warmer tribute to the ac-
tors power than the applause was the
momentary silence that followed the
sorrowful closing of the second act, and
the tears that were freely shed.
The play was as deliberately staged
as usual and the company was OF al
most uniform excellence, The two lit
tie children, Ipha Yenair and Dolly
Onwise, were most attractive, ana IN
their scenes with Rip, added much to
the charm of his exquisite tenderness.
Mr. Jefferson was seen again at night
in The Rivals play in which he is
almost as much admired. A very large
audience witnessed the production and
the enthusiasm was equally as great
as in the afternoon.
During the play Mr.. JEFFERSON was
presented a huge bouquet of red car
nations. Holding up the flowers to
his breast, the veteran actor said, In his
innocent way, that he felt more like
a prima donna than he ever did in his
life. Then he spoke pleasantly of his
winter in the South, of his cordial well
come by the Southern people. of Sa-
vannah and the place 1t holds in his
heart. "Fifty-two years ago." he
said. Il managed this same
theater in which thirty years
ago played RIP Van Wrinkle
for the first time here, and have play
ed can't remember how many times
since"
Mr.. jefferson glanced over the audi
ence and, after a moments thought,
ventured that he had played to the
fathers and mothers and grandfathers
and grandmothers of many who were
before him, and ii was not unlikely that
he might have played to the great
grandfathers and great-grandmothers

ton will be extended the United Con-
federate Veterans at New Orleans, to
hold the next reunion in Savannah.
Have you ever thought of the impor-
lance of such a meeting? Louisville
claimed, and so did Memphis, 100000
visitors. Now look at this commercial
ly. At Louisville, the meeting. was
programmed for five days. 1t is a con-
sentative estimate that these people
dropped 81 per day, and for the five
days, left Zoe per capita in that town;
which for the 100000 people, left 81 ,000,-
900 in that city in week.
Do you see the point? AS you will
remember the weather was quite In
clement in Louisville and the claim was
made that "Old Probs" was dead against
the veterans, and Louisville could not
do justice to the 'old fellows"
Col Bennett Young at Mem
phis, came with strong creden-
tials, asking the reunion for
1902, claiming the weather had been
so against the veterans, Louisville was
badly handicapped and asked for an
opportunity to show her true Glue
Grass hospitality. While Louisville
was hospitable, there was a strong
commercial sentimentality behind the
urgent invitation. While it would
strain Savannah to entertain so huge
a convention, the Forest City never
undertook any enterprise of this char
acter and failed. Still, Savannah is as
able to entertain the reunion as Char
lesion was: and if your city is in earn
est, those who intend to present the
claims of the Forest City, must not be
idle. 1t is time the committee was
placing this matter before the various
state division commanders, as well as
department commanders.

representations from Savannah to

nah is in earnest, then the coming Of

Charlie was born in Macon about

called for a live baby, and Charlie

Mr.. Jefferson went on without
being given a single cue say
ing that he was always pleas

had many pleasant and important as
sociations in his mind. He mentioned
the fast that something more than half
century ago he managed the Savan-
nah Theater, and had played many
nights here. before and since then.
During the afternoon he took a
carriage ride about the city,
and found that it had i'm

splendid growth in the suburbs is

said that he had enjoyed the fishing
and the climate as much as anybody
could. He is in splendid health and

HEAT IN A BAKE OVEN.

The Simple Manner in which the
Temperature Is Tested.
From the New Orleans Times-Demo-
crat.
Bakers have a curious way of tell
ing just what the temperature of the
oven is" said a baker who has been
in the business for more than a quar-
ter of a century, land they can tell,
too, with almost marvellous accuracy.
You take man who is an expert IN
the business, and he can tell what the
temperature of the oven is by simply
touching the handle of the oven door.
In nine cases out of ten he will not
miss 1t to the fraction of a degree.
Bakers have other ways, of course, of
testing the heat of the oven. For In
stance, when baking bread they some
times throw g. piece of white paper
into the oven, and if it turns brown
the oven is at the proper temperature;
or when baking other things they will
throw a little cornmeal flour into the
oven i'll order to test the heat. But
the bakers fingers are the best gauge,
and when you come to think of the
different temperatures required in bak-
ing different things, it is no small
achievement to even approximate the
heat of the oven by touching the han
die of the oven door.
Bakers figure that during the rising
time of loaf of bread, after it has
been placed in the oven, it ought to be
in a temperature of rs degrees Fahren-
heit. During the baking process, in
order to cook the starch, expand the
carbonic acid gas, air and steam, and
drive off the alcohol, the inside of the
loaf must register at least 22O degrees.
In baking rolls, buns. scenes. tea bis
cults, drop cakes, fancy cakes, New
York cakes, mullins, puff cakes and
things of that sort the oven must
show heat of 45O degrees or higher.
When the oven is at 400 degrees. It IS
fit for cream puffs, sugar cakes, queen
cakes, rock cakes, jumbles, lady nm
gers, rough-and-ready and jelly rolls.
At $50 degrees wine cakes, cup cakes,
ginger nuts and snaps, pies. ginger
bread. spice cakes, such as raisin, cur
rant, citron, pound, bride and so on,
may be baked. 1t requires a still low
er temperature to bake wedding cakes,
kisses, anise drops and things in this
class. But whatever temperature the
old baker wants, he can tell when ne
has it by simply touching the handle
of the oven door"

Boise, Idaho, June "A sad accident
occurred on one of the city bridges over
the Boise river shortly, before 4 o'clock
Yesterday afternoon, as the result of which
two boys one and the other IA years of
age, were drowned.
When Mrs James Stephenson, wife of
the assistant state engineer, was driving
across the Ninth street bridge, her horse
became unmanageable and backed the
buggy against the side of the bridge. The
supports gave way and the horse and bug
gy and the two children, who were with
Mrs Stephenson toppled over into the
stream and disappeared under the rush
ing waters.
Mrs. Stephenson jumped out of the bug
gy as it went over and made a frantic
effort to rescue the children, but the buggy
dropped so suddenly that she could do
nothing. The accident happened so
quickly that Mrs Stephenson had barely
time to escape with her life. )
The buggy rose to the surface as the
rapid current whirled it down stream,
and the horse could be seen foundering in
the water for a few moments, but no trace
of the children was observed after they
fell off the bridge.
The youngest of the two children was
the son of Mr.. and Mrs. Stephenson. The

Mrs Stephenson had taken with her for
