Miss Hettie Lemen, by whom be had
four children, who survive him. About
three years ago he married Miss Mol
lie Wintermoyer, who with an infant
son is also left to mourn his death.
They have the sympathy Of the people
of the community in the great be-
reaysmeut mat has come to them.

family connection in this and Berke-
ley counties

The marriage ot"Piquette" Mite hel
will take place in the second week IN
June in Philadelphia. No little in
terest has been shown in his engage
ment to Miss Nellie Lane Butter, from
the fact that he did not pick out a
Washington girl for his bride, 'aotaolth-
standing his many attentions to one
or another Of the popular debutsntes
of each winter. Miss Butler is the
daughter of Mrs. Robert Gibson, who
is prominent in Philadelphia, and is
strikingly handsome girl, Piquette
Mitchell is brother of Mrs. Don Ar
mour, of London, who as Miss Louise
Mitchell was considered one of the
beauties of her coming out season,
several years ago. She married Don
Armour in Cobourg, Canada, in the
summer of 1902, and it was this we'd
ding which set this fashion in that re.
sort for affairs of the kind, the mar
riage of Miss Vivian Sartoris to Fred
erick Roosevelt Scovel taking place
the following year. Piquette Mitchell
is member OF the Metropolitan and
Chevy Chase clubs, and one of the
most popular men in the younger set.
The announcement of his engagement
caused no end of speculation as to his
tltur and everyone had been wonder
ing who the unknown charmer might
be who had been so successful in cap
turing this squire Of danes. On DIT
that there has been more than one
heartache caused by "Piquette's" sp-

SOCIETY AT THE CIRCUS.
All the World at the Street Parade
and the Show

All the World at the Street Parade
and the Show.
In lieu of society functions, the So
ciety world amused itself yesterday
at the circus. The street parade in
the morning brought out just all
there was of Savannah and the peo-
pie that everybody knows jostled ell
bows with the unknown. 1t was as in
testing a sight as one ever sees-eager
small boys side by side with eager
grown-ups, women of fashion and
women of business, the leisure class
and the busy one, pausing GREATNESS
ly on street corners, crowding upon
other peoples front steps, leaning out
of shop windows, and over club ball
comics, to watch the great show go by.
If it was fashionable to watch the
parade, it was quite as fashionable to
be at the circus itself. Everybody, in
fact, was there. The reserved seat
section was crowded, and the people
one knows overlooked into places less
eminent, and enjoyed themselves quite
as much. The spirit of the day was
bohemian, and society was out in the
same spirit of fun as the small boy,
eating peanuts and shouting with the
crowd.

In itself 1t Is not an imported act. but
lacks nothing from not having come
from across the water. The family is
recognized in the circus world as the
premier family team of the world. They
were the originators of the eccentric
full dress tumbling act which created
such furore several years ago.
Other acts OF especial excellence
were the lie Carmens in high wire acts,
the flying Jordans, the Lucassons in
their tally-ho novelty, the Aurora Zou-
ayes, Diavolo looping the loop" on a
bicycle, and Prodiglous Porthos in
Gaping the gap"
Many Feature Acts.
The Amurora Zonaves appeared here
several years ago at an annual prize
drill, capturing every event In which
they competed. The loop the loop act
and Gaping the gap ELECTED screams
from the ladies' and children, and are
wonderful exhibitions of daring. as
well as skill.
The big circus left Savannah last
night shortly after midnight for Char
lesion. and will gradually work it's
way 10 Tarboro, N. c., where the sea-
son will close on Nov. 1.
Mr.. J. II. Davis, press agent with
the show, was host to a number OF
newspaper men and city officials yes
terday, and contributed much to their
enjoyment. Mr.. Davis has visited Sa-
vannah every year for the last twelve
years, either with the big circus, or
with some well known theatrical or
