AMERICAN BALL
A BRILLIANT AFFAIR.

The Irish American Friendly Society's
ball last night, at the Catholic Library
Hall. was a success, far beyond expec-
tations. Seven hundred people were In
attendance. Long before the opening
march the floor was crowded and those
who Staged" it had to take their
stands in the balcony and corridor The
hall was decorated with American and
Irish flags and the rich blending colors
of the decorations mingling with the
neat and gay attire of the dancers made
brilliant and fascinating scene. An
orchestra of ten pieces from the First
Georgia Regiment Band dispensed mu-
sic from the stage screened by artistic
drapings of a large banner of the coat
or arms of Georgia as a back ground,
and fronted by a great American flag
Tapped on either side by a flag of the
state and the Irish flag. So large was
the attendance that only about one
third of the dancers could use the floor
at one time, and for that reason, after
futile efforts to secure another orches-
ira, that one might relay the other, and
In that manner make the dancing con-
unuous, three additional pieces were Sc
cured, and, by relaying the leading in
Struments. the purpose was accom-
plished and the dancing went on with
out a pause.
The crowded condition of the hall
was foreseen by Chairman D. J. Charl-
ton OF the dance committee. and i'm the
afternoon he secured AN option on the
Guards Hail. Mai Williamson volun-
teering to keep the hall open until
such time as Mr.. Charlton might
designate ii be closed. that the bail
might be moved to the larger hall
should il become necessary, fruitless
efforts being made at the same time to
secure a brass band behind which to
march the dancers to the substituted
hall and in that original manner COM
pensate for the Inconvenience with
novelty. shortly after the ball opened
it was thought that the entirely UMPIRE
cedented and unique move would have
To be made and the announcement
met with merry approval. 1t was de-
cided, however, because of the supper
arrangements already made in the
supper room, the slightly too cold
weather, and the reluctance to leave
the handsomely decorated dance room,
that they would remain in the smaller
ball and arrangements be made, as
was done, TO double the orchestra and
allow everybody ample opportunity to
enjoy themselves in the mazes of the
dance by continuous music.
At late hour the supper room was
repaired to in relays and the guests
were served under the direction of Mr.
P. Manning and Mr.. T. H. Brandon.
The committee which SO ably provided
for what was probably the largest ball
attendance in the annals of the city
was as follows: D. j. Charlton, chair
man; F, r. Wall, c. j. O'Neil, c. J..
Hansen, J. J. Stafford, c. H. Levan,
T. F. Flood, J F. Mckinley, T. G.
O'Neil, j. j. Murphy, ]. ]. Ruane and
C. C. McEvoy.
Mr.. c. ]. O'Neill was in charge of
the music. A handsome sum was re-
allied from the ball, 1t will be used to-
ward furnishing the hall and rooms
now being prepared as the future home
of the society.

YOUNG LADY GYMNASTS
GAVE CLEVER EXHIBITION

A novel, interesting and pretty OK
hibition of calisthenic and gymnastic
work was given in the Y. M. G. A.
gymnasium last night by a class OF the
Savannah School of Physical Culture,
consisting of twenty eight young ladies
and girls and nine boys. The school
is conducted by Miss Sara Charlton,
physical director and Miss Lille Selig,
business director.
The school has given several exhi-
billions before, but in none of the 9TH
ers was the class so large, the work
so good, or so many novelties intro
duced The programme began with
grand march, for which the music was
furnished by Rosenfeld's Orchestra, to
the strains of which much of the other
work was done also, though some of
the music was played by Miss Birdie
Einstein
The march consisted of a number OF
intricate and pretty figures through
which the class was unerringly led by
Miss Nellie Halle. Then followed an
exhibition of free work' and of APP

Rourke, on the buck, and Miss Charl-

well done, and, as was the case with
the preceding numbers, were heartily
applauded.
In the ring work, especially the per

Thomas, Celia Avery and Elizabeth

NO ARGUMENT NEEDED.
Every Sufferer from Catarrh Knows
That SaIves, Lotions, Washes,
Sprays and Douches DO Not Cure.

Powders, lotions. salves, sprays and
inhalers cannot really cure Catarrh.
because this disease is blood disease,
and local applications, if they accom-
plish anything at all, simply give
transient relief.
The catarrhal poison is in the blood
and the mucous membrane of the nose,
throat and trachea tries to relieve the
system by secreting large quantities
of mucous, the discharge sometimes
closing up the nostrils, dropping into
the throat, causing deafness by clos
ing the Eustachian tubes, and after
time causing catarrh OF stomach or
serious throat and lung troubles.
remedy to really cure catarrh
must be an internal remedy which VIII
cleanse the blood from catarrhal poi
son and remove the fever and conges-
ton from the mucous membrane.
The best and most modern remedies
for this purpose are antiseptics scien-
tifically known as Red Gum, Blood
Root and Hydrastin, and while each
of these have been successfully used
separately, yet it has been difficult to
get them all combined in one pal
atable, convenient and efficient form.
The manufacturers of the new ca
tarrh cure, Stuarts Catarrh Ia blets,
have succeeded admira bly, in accom-
plishing this result. They are large,
pleasant-tasting lozenges, to be dis
solved in the month, thus reaching
every part of the mucous membrane
of the throat and finally the stomach.
Unlike many catarrh remedies. Stu
arts Catarrh Tablets contain no CO.
caine, opiate or any injurious drug
whatever, and are equally beneficial
for little children and adults.
MIR. c. r. Rembrandt of Rochester,
n. Y. says: II know of few people
who have suffered as much as l from
Catarrh of the head, throat and stoin-
ach. I used sprays. inhalers and pow
ders for months at time with only
slight relief, and had no hope of cure.
I had not the means to make a
change of climate. which seemed my
only chance of cure.
Last spring / read an account of
some remarkab BILE cures made by Stu
arts Catarrh Tablets and promptly
bought fifty cent box from my drug

ued to use them daily until l now con-
slider myself entirely free from the dis
gushing annoyance OF catarrh; my
head is clear. my digestion all / could
ask and my hearing, which had begun
to fail as a result OF the catarrh. has
greatly improved. until I feel ! can

AN EVENING RECEPTION.

Most happy in the occasion and very
charming in all it's outward surround
inss, was the reception given by DR..
and Mrs. T, Pinckney Warning last
evening from until 10 o'clock. The
affair was in the nature of a house
warming, being the first formal enter
tainment given by DR.. and Mrs. War
ing since their marriage, and this lent
it a particular interest. Their new
home on Taylor street was very beau
tifully decorated. The scene could not
have been more attractive, nor was
there lacking that inner charm upon
which depends the real enjoyment of
such affairs as this.
Mrs. Robert Huse of New York who
is visiting Mrs. Waring, was the guest
of honor Of the evening.
Mrs. Naring and Mrs. Huse We're as
sisted in receiving by the brides of the
past six months, all of whom wore
their wedding concentrating a very
charming picture. Another pretty
feature was the appearance of the de-
butantes of the season, most of them
in their coming-out gowns, to hand the
refreshments.
During the hours of the reception
many people called, and the evening
WAS in every way d most delightful
one.

SONS OF VETERANS
viii share Chatham Artillery Hail
with Veterans Association.


With Veterans Association.
Barlow Camp Sons of Confederate
Veterans, met last night in the Chat
ham Artillery Hall to decide what is
to be done relative to joining with the
Confederate Veterans Association in
securing a hall for their Joint use The
veterans association has rented the
Armory Hall for a period of three
years, and invited the sons to occupy
the hall with them and bear "A part
of the expenses. This the sons decided
to do and a committee of three was
appointed TO confer with the hall com
mittee of the veterans to make final
arrangements and report at the next
meeting. II will be the purpose of the
organizations to make the hall self
sustaining. That Will probably be done
by renting the nall for entertainments.
1t was also decided that the camp
issue certificates of membership, and
a committee was appointed to draft
suitable certificate and have it pre-
pared by the next meeting that II may
be formally adopted There was
sentiment in favor of holding meetings
quarterly instead OF monthly as at
present and also appointing a board
OF governors to handle the camps af-
fairs, devise entertainment, and act
as membership committee. Nothing
was done, however, toward appointing
the board. The meeting was we'll at

made. Mr.. A. ID. Harden presided.

Executions VIII be Issued Against
DeIinquents.

Between 800 and 1000 people who
have failed to pay specific taxes will
have executions issued against them
if they do not pay up within the next
three days.
This was decided at conference at
the City Exchange yesterday and the
city treasurer has been instructed to
furnish the city marshal with the exc
cutions at the end of three days.
Those who have failed to pay their
business licenses will have to do so this
week. or settle for the cost of execu-

specific taxes have been peid, and the
delinquents will now be prodded by
the city. Almost without exception
the larger business houses have paid
the specific taxes required of them.
