The daily sentinel., 1904-09-01

Commissioner Harris was in recent
of letter this morning from wo-
man, of Fruita, stating that she and her
three children are without food.
She states that she has little flour
in the house. but beyond that there
is nothing to eat, save some green
fruit. The woman states that SIZE
owes $50 rent and that she must
have something to eat and money to
pay the rent or she will be thrown out
of her home. Commissioner Harris
at once sent word or an order in his
customary prompt manner for some
groceries for the woman. Where the
woman's husband is, if he is living,
was not stated in the letter, but she
signed his name. 1t would seem that
the people surrounding Fruita should
have been appealed to in such CASE.
That section has been most prosperous
for the past few years and there sho aid
be no reason whatever for woman
with three children to be in condi-
tion of want. with the wealth which
belongs to that community.

SCHOOL EXAMINATIONS
WILL CLOSE TO-DAY
Christmas Carols VIII he sung in
the Primary Grades.

To-day marks the close of the first
term examinations of the grammar and
high schools. For the last week the
pupils have been standing from one to
two examinations a day. To-day every
class in the city will be examined in
only arithmetic.
The only departure from the regular
order of examinations was with the
pupils of the High School, who have
not been studying Latin. They were
compelled to stand an extra mathe-
NAUTICAL examination on the day the
other scholars were standing the test
in Latin. This extra examination will
bear only half the weight of the regu-
lar mathematical eXaminat ton, when
the general averages are made.
After the arithmetic examination to-
day, the scholars will leave the build
ings until Jan. 3. at which time they
will enter upon their second term,
which will terminate in March. All
of the primary grades of the grammar
school will hold exercises to-day, and
appropriate Christmas carols will be
sung by the little children.
A great many of the seventh grade
pupils will also have short exercises,
and a pleasing programme has been
arranged for that grade I'm the Barnard
Street School. Miss Mildred Quicken
heimer. who sung Teasing at the
celebration of the Chanauka at Mickva
Isfael Sunday school, has been re-
quested to repeat it, and this will form
a part Of the programme. Miss Beu-
lab Hutson will recite Little Joe"

SHOPPERS FROM
OUTSIDE POINTS.
Trade Received from Visitors
shown by Crowds at Stations.

Trade Received from Visitors
shown by Crowds at Stations.
Railroad men who are in a position
to observe those who pass in and out
of the city assert that a greater num-
Der of non-residents are visiting Sa-
vannah this Christmas than for a
number of years. The meaning of this
is that the merchants <are having a
substantial outside business.
Low rates at this season serve to
bring shoppers from a distance of
more than one hundyed miles, and they
go back home with many bundles.
This is the case every Christmas, but
this year this class of visitors has in
creased materially. The advantages of
trading in a large city like Savannah
are obvious.
The mail order business is also large
this year. Merchants who conduct
mail order systems. report a growing
demand on the service. This In con-
junction with so many visitors is en-
couraging to the retail merchants. At
Christmas the mail order business is
not as large as it might be if patrons
could be assured of prompt delivery.
The rush in all postoffices is so great,
however, that many hesitate to order
by mall who would otherwise take
advantake of the system.
The railroad stations are crowded
this week with arriving and returning
shoppers. Especially when a train is
due to depart is the crowd an interest
ing sight. Nearly all are buried un-
der great bundles of purchases. The
amount of money diverted into local
commercial channels at this time Of
year is enormous in the aggregate.

Butler. County Commissioners clerk.
as instigator OF the plot. carried out
his part Mr. Thomas Russell, deputy
clerk OF the City Court. appeared as
hero, and the character which brought
on the happy ending.
The curtain went up on the first act
with Deputy Clerk Murphy, armed
with an empty pipe, going forth to
search for the leading lady who had
mysteriously disappeared He entered
the office Of the City Court clerk and
asked about her but she was not
there. Then ne swept down on the
County Commissioners Office and made
inquiries for her, and the plot layer,
Mr.. Reuben Butler, began his work.
He offered an imitation goddess, and
blew her lightly into the face of the
leading man. Curtain.
When the curtain arose on the second
act the leading man was angry and
making all manner of dire threats. Mr..
Butler parted admirably and with
skilled wit kept up the rage of the
h.ading man. The leading man lead
for the plot instigator's jaw. The in
stigatOr lodged skillfully, but kept on
with mis- gOadiug. Curtain.
The third act opened with Mr.. Bra
Zell, chief support of the leading man,
buying chips. The leading man ap-
piled certain terms to his chief sup
port and the said support came back
with You're another" Things We're
getting warmer, and under the eff
cient coaching of the plot instigator,
Mr.. Butler, the catastrophe was seen
rapidly approaching. A few more
words, followed by few more You're

and his chief support clinched, each
making wild dabs at the Uranium of
the other The plot instigator ap-
plauded.
Just at this juncture the hero. Mr.
Thomas Russell, rushed into the office,
and, regardless of his own personal
safety, went between the two leading
characters and parted them. He Sc
verely lectured them. and brought
peace by presenting the leading man
with the Goddess Tobacco. adorned in
Havana wrapper. Tumbled and
tangled hairs were smoothed out, dis
arranged collars changed, scratched
faces washed and healed, and good
fellowship reigned. Curtain
Generous applause from the audi
ence, which consisted of the other Of
ficials at the Court House. was ample
testimony to the appreciation of the
efforts of the actors.
