UNIQUE POINT IN BANKRUPTCY
Decided by Judge MncDoneII I'm
the Hampton Case.

Judge MacDonell, referee in bank
Hampton bankruptcy case that is of
unusual interest, in that new apph-
cation of the law has been invoked
Exceptions to the finding of the referee
have been filed by Shelby Myrick at
torney for the bankrupt, and the case
will be reviewed by Judge Speer at the
March term of the United States Dis
trict Court.
The question which arose in the case
is whether property mortgaged in Ala
bama, may be set apart as a home
stead for bankrupt under the Geor-
gia law. Under the Alabama law, a
mortgage passes title, though such Is
not the case under the Georgia statute
where II is only evidence OF a debt, the
mortgagor having an equity of re-
demptioh in the property mortgaged.
Hampton mortgaged certain property
in Alabama and afterwards moved to
Georgia. Shortly thereafter he went
into bankruptcy. on application to
the trustee in bankruptcy the mort
gagged property. of the value of $21l
was set aside to him as a homestead,
the law of Georgia authorizing the
setting aside of & homestead of 5000. in
any event, this amount being free from
homestead waiver. The mortgage,
through his attorney, w. II. Wade. OBJ
jected to the homestead, and his OBJ
jections were heard before Judge Mac
Donell.
The bankrupt held that the lex loci
contractus, or law OF the place where
the debt was overwhelmingly, Ala
bama, did not obtain In the setting
apart OF a homestead in Georgia and
that, therefore, even If the mortgage
did pass title in Alabama, the homie
stead could be set apart in Georgia.
Under the remedies provided in the
statute. The objecting creditor, on the
other hand, maintained that the
mortgage having passed title i'm Ala
bama the bankrupt has not since then
and does not now, hold any interest
in the property.
Judge MacDonel1, in rendering his
decision, cited numerous cases wherein
the Supreme Court had held that an
Alabama mortgage would he enforced
In Georgia under the remedy provided
by the Alabama law. He therefore de-
cided in favor of the Alabama credit
or. This is the first case of it's kind
that has come before the court. and
it's final outcome will be awaited with
interest

A JAPANESE DANCE.
Miss HuIIs Novel COtilIion Last
Evening at the Guards Hall.

Mis-. HuII's Novel COtilIion Last
Evening at the Guards Hall.
II is not often possible to achieve an
entertainment as aesthetic, and yet
novel. in decoration, and as perfect in
thar inner charm, less easy to define,
"a the cotillion given last evening at
,be Guards Hall by Mr.. and Mrs.
1ossph Hull for their daughter, Miss
rliza Lamar Hull. From the Far
Fast had been gathered quaint and
rrsftv ideas, and the scene might have
been a little corner of Japan, as one
pictures it in fancy.
The enchantment began at the en-
france. The curtained recess in the
hallway facing the door was banked
above with wood ferns and swinging
from the ceiling were brisht-colored
Iaranese umbrellas. At the turn of
the hall above the foot of the stair
way hung a large umbrella with Ian
terms fastened to the spokes, and the
ascent was made through a pretty
passage way, lighted on each side by a
chain of Japanese lanterns. The wall
Of the inner side was covered With
Japanese mating above which was
laid a vine of wild bamboo, and at
+he outer edge of the steps were placed
RANKIN orange trees. The smaller
hallway above, just outside the ball
room. was decorated with many-hued
umbrellas, bright blue and warm red,

CREAT0RE AS A SHOW.
The Vaudeville stage May Claim
Him Yet.

Him Yet.
Having been deeply impressed with
the enthusiasm accorded Creatore and
his very admirable band of musicians
at the theater on Tuesday ev-
ening, 1 believe that a few words
of comment from one who loves music
for music's sake, will not be unwel-
come to your columns. and perhaps
to some of the rather large audience
present at the performance.
From the character of the advertise
ments with which Creatore's manager
saw fit to herald his coming, one was
fully prepared for director lacking,
as this one certainly does, every in
stinct of muscianliness and sense of
the dignity due not only music but
himself and the members of his band.
After much observation of many of
the greatest musical directors of two
continents. the writer is convinced that
self obliteration, as far as possible on
the part of the director is a requisite
of the first Importance, and INSOFAR
able from the musician in the true
sense of the word. He thereby not
only permits the attention of the ali-
dience to be kept on the music and
it alone, but indicates an earnest desire
for the same.
Creatore with a grind organ, perhaps
too a monkey, would attract to him
self just the character of audience
that such antics justify. Consequent
ly, as a sensation and novelty we'll
suited to the connie or vaudeville stage,
/ should say Creatore was a success,
but as a director of music, calculated
to do credit to his profession and the
act he should enYlOble. / enter a strong
and emphatic protest. The members
of his band did well, especially with
the wood Instruments, the ensemble
being markedly good. They produced
some charming effects, and this in
spite Of being hampered by the walls
of a theater and a leader who must
have been a constant annoyance and
irritation to their sense of the fitness
of things. For the credit of Savannah
let 1t not go forth that such a musical
charlatan can attract an intelligent
musical audience. while DIPPED and a
Pugno must sing and play to sparse1y
filled houses.

given yesterday afternoon by the
Misses Courtney and Mary Crowther.
That newspaper friend of little folks
known as Foxy Grandpa" was pres
ent. hung on the wall in cambria eff

blindfolded and asked to find his eyes,

torical outwitting of his precocious
grandsons.
To the most successful children
prizes were awarded, silver
purse for the girls and a silver knife
for the boys, and for both, as conso-
lation prizes, a set of "whistling

to decline of to IL degrees. Except
clear skies over New England, the
eastern slope Of the Rockies, and the
middle West, cloudy conditions are

big fans to the men. The favors FOR

The scene in the supper rooms was
more than usually charming, with a
cool prevailing color note of pale yell
low. The long winding hallway itself
was pretty to see, for the lockers were
half hidden in srnilax and Japanese
lanterns were hung above. There was
a lovely vista of the three rooms, the
round central table bearing an exquis-
lite burden of yellow orchids and bril-
liant peacock feathers. The cIiande-
liers with their Japanese shades were
draped with smilax, and upon the
lockers that make the background of
the rooms were placed many beauti-
full tropical plants, the pots that held
them covered with green. Each table
bore in it's center a vase of yellow
flowers, carnations. roses, orchids, or
narcissus, or a maidenhair fern, whose
soft green made a pretty contrast to
the flowers.
