HUSSARS' BAZAAR WILL
BE SCENE OF GAlETY.
ClubrOom BEING Transformed In

ClubrOom BEING Transformed In
to VcritnbIc FniryInnd.
Preparations are going ahead for
the Georgia Hussars' Bazaar which
commences on Monday. The club
rooms are being dismantled and all
of the furniture moved out to make
place for the booths which will be
presided over by the members of the
various committees. When the prepa-
rations have been completed the club
rooms will present a scene OF
loneliness.
The booths in the parlors are being
constructed in front of the long
mirrors, which will reflect the
bright colors and give the rooms
d gay appearance. With the
exception of the armory the entire
building has been given up for the
purpose, and the piazzas have been
enclosed.
The temporary reading and smok-
ing quarters are i'm the armory, where
everything has been made as COM
fCrtable as possible tor those not par
ticipating in the bazaar. These will
be few. however, as nearly every mem
Der OF the club is on some one of
llle many committees. ucSt tbltlilllt-
tees have been holding many meet
ingS and have everything in readiness
for the opening day.
The Committee on Construction has
had a difficult task. Not only are there
many booths to be erected, the con-
struction of which requires constant
supervision, but there are, in addition,
many changes to be made in the build
ing, in order to adapt it to the uses of
the bazaar. The billiard room has uu-
dergone a complete change. A new
floor has been put down. as this room
Will be used for dancing. Electric lights
in profusion have been installed, so as
to give the building the gayest and most
inviting appearance possible.
! The Committee on Subscriptions have
! met with great success. Scarcely a
| merchant has failed to subscribe to the
! fund. Fully $1,000 has been realized in
| cash donations: and the donations IN
| merchandise are of far greater value.
| In addition to these donations the la
| dies who have been industriouslY en-
| gagged in making fancy work, will give
| the result of their labors to the com
| mittees in charge of the various stalls
! There is a very large amount of
goods to be disposed of during the ba-
| zaar and it may be that it will. last
! longer than a week, as at first antici-
| pated. 1t is the purpose of the COM
| mittees to sell the various articles at
such a low figure as to induce every
one to become a purchaser. If the ba-
zaar is as great a success as 1t prom
| Uses to. be, and the committees do not
! run out of material, it is proba BILE
| that it may be extended to a fort
| night instead of a week, as now pro-
| posed.

AT THE THEATER

An entertaining production was "A
Prince of Tatters," given yesterday
before crowded house at the matinee
and again at night. The scene of the
play is laid in New York in the period
Immediately preceding the Revolution,
and the plot, which is clever and inter
esting, deals with the enmity existing
between the British Governor and the
old Dutch PATRONS. The time is a ro-
mantle one. and gives opportunity for
attractive stage setting and quaint cos
tuning. In both of these points the
performance was notably good. There
is a pretty love story interviewer with
the plot, and Mr.. Wilson made a very
pleasing hero. His sweet voice was
heard to great advantage in number
of new songs, two Of the best being
The Winding of the Yarn" and
Whispering Breeze"
Little Frances Clinton appeared as
Little Spiegel, privileged character"
and showed a wonderful amount of
poise for so young an actor and con-
siderable talent.

Arizona" will be the attraction. The
demand for seats has been great and
crowded housesff are assured.
Arizona made two separate
conquests of New York with
in one year, resulting in record
to be proud of. The artistic as well as
American play proves beyond doubt
that no more popular play of Western
ranch and army life has ever been pro-
duced. Canoy, the Tanchman Tony
the Mexican; Bonita, the child of the
plains, and the dashing soldiery of Fort
Grant are entirely typical of the coun-
try after which the play has been
named. They illustrate in a bright and
absorbingly interesting way the dainty
love story which Augustus Thomas has
woven into the best American drama of
recent productions.
Next Monday night the Hoyt Comedy
Company will begin a weeks engage
ment in popular plays at popular
prices. The Rome (Ga) Tribune of
Thursday says of the company's APP
pearance there: Another large audi
ence was present at the theater to wit
ness the production of "Two Married
Women" by the Hoyt Comedy Com
pany. The performance was an excel
lent one, and the theater-going public
is unanimous in declaring the Hoyt
company the gest attraction seen here
for the money in seasons. The show is
continuous, intermingled throughout
with specialties and there is no long
waits between acts. The Menottes are
a strong vaudeville feature, while Baby
Doris, a little girl, is most captivat-
ing feature of the vaudeville pro-
gramme. Mr.. Jewell Kelley, young
actor of sterling ability and appear
ance, is at the head of the company
in the capacity of leading man, and
has proven himself an actor whose
work is finished and artistic. At The
matinee the company presented The
Robber and His Child in which Baby
Doris was seen in a strong part"

When, the. tribunal adjourned at

others employed in the case left Lon

However, the Associated Press

concession of Pearse island, which lies
in the mouth of Portland canal, and
which carries the boundary line north
of Pearse island and not thru the
mouth of Portland canal proper, is
immaterial to the United States but
important to Canada, as Pearse island
commands the entrance to Port Simp-
son, the prospective terminus of the
new Canadian railroad lines to the
Pacific. The decision confirms the ii
tie of the United States to Skagway
and all the disputed territory around
the head of the Lynn canal, which
Canada was so anxious to. get as af.
