scholars was centered in the expected
arrival of Santa Claus who was to
make his appearance from the CHM
ney. BY means of a telephone on the
platform, he was able to inform Supt.
Artley that his train had been wreck
ed, but he would charter a freight
train to convey the present and
would arrive on time.
After his arrival each class was
called and given boxes of candy.
Handsome pictures were presented to
the organist, superintendent and his
assistant by the scholars and an elab-
orately decorated dinner set was pre-
sented to Rev. A. Robert Miller and
his wife by the congregation of the
church. Mr. Miller thanked the
scholars for the presents they had
brought to be given to the poor and
told them how noble it was to give to
such a cause" Many otherwise good

themselves out of happiness in the

Mr.. Harry Strobhar and Miss Grace

Elaborate Programme mt the South
Side Baptist Church.
The annual Christmas tree and Christ
mas celebration of the Sunday-school
of the South Side Baptist Church was
held at the church last night Besides
the members of the Sunday-school, the
parents and friends of the little ones
were in attendance and the church
was crowded.
The church had been appropriately
decorated in Christmas greenery. Lau-
rel and smilax were twined about the
pillars and long festoons of greenery
draped along the gallery rails. Above
the pulpit platform were the words
Peace on Earth" and GLORY to God
in the Highest" To the right of the
stage stood the Christmas tree, beau
tifully decorated with tinsels and hung
with gifts. The lights were small cleo
trio bulbs, variously colored and the
effect was very pretty. At the same
time, the use of the electric lights in
stead of the customary candles, shut
off all danger of fire.
The feature of the entertainment was
the cantata bethlehem Echoes"
which was we'll rendered. One of the
most interesting features of the even-
ing was the entrance of Santa Claus.

Wonderful Football, Says Butler.
Referee George Butler stated before
leaving Savannah yesterday that he
had seldom seen a game which he en-
joyed so thoroughly. II was. he said,
one of the cleanest, and yet fiercest,
battles he had even seen. He spoke
highly of individuals on both teams.
He especially commented on the
playing of Rossiter. Opposed TO the
best tackle in the South. Kirby
Smith. in the opinion of Mr.. Butler.
Rossiter outshone his opponent, and
in rugged play, advancing the play
and opening the line his work was
truly wonderful. Mr.. Butler also
spoke highly of McIntire and the two
Yancys He said it would be a pleas
ure to witnes, as well as officiate. in
the final game of the season Monday.
Mr.. Williams will again officiate as
umpire.
Sullivan Out for Good.
Berdie Sullivan, who made such a
cyclonic attack on the Jay line in the
early part of the first half Monday
is out of the game for the rest of the
season.
In addition to his badly sprained an
kle, he has a fracture of the shoulder
bone. which will require several weeks
TO knit together. The Blue and White
loses a fast and courageous man in
Sullivan and the announcement that
he will not again be able to play will
be received with general regret.
Arrangements have practically been
settled for the return of Highams the
stalwart guard who was sent to other
territory by his employers. Highams
is thoroughly familiar with the sig
nails and plays, and is one of those
athletes who is always in condition. He
will add much strength to the line.
Players All Did Well.
In mentioning especially those who
did splendid work Monday there was
no intention to belittle the work of

ball fortune so presided that 1t fell to
the lot OF those mentioned to bear the
brunt of battle. and to secure oppor-
tunities for spectacular playing.
Black, Futch. Johnson, Hicks. Corn
well, Doty were just as much enti-
tied to encomiums as Harmon. Cope,
McIntire, Rossiter, Lansberg and Cub
hedge. And il was not the fault of
those on the side line that they too
were not battered and torn in their
valorous struggle to sustain the Blue
and White.
1t was a sore disappointment that
the band was not able to master the
intricate score of Teasing" so that
the assembled thousands could chant
the Blue and White battle hymn. Mr..
Blum is working daily in the poetry
foundry, grinding out some additional
verses for the game Monday.

DR.. J. c. LeHARDY REPLIES
TO MR. j. S. COLLINS CARD
BiIbo Canal Covering Would Be Dangerous and
Costly Experiment, He Says.

DR.. J. c. LeHardy has some very
pertinent remarks to make about the
letter from Mr. Jacob S. Collins, pub
Hshed in the Morning News. in regard
to covering Bilbo canal. The question
is not a new one. DR.. LeHardy says.
and Mr.. Collins had great deal to do
with the early efforts in favor of the
covering.
The matter has been before the
people a long time and they have
shown a great deal of sagacity in not
accomplishing such a dangerous and
costly experiment" says DR.. Le-
Hardy. IAN who are interested in
Savannah know the canal was built
for the purpose Of carrying off the
storm water from the city as far as
possible and to drain the soil.
That it has done this work and
done it well everybody knows. Be
fore the city was properly drained,
not only deep ponds of stagnant wa
ter formed in various places. but the
cellars of houses filled with water,
causing much damage.
Danger of Combination.

nuisance created by the use of vaults

nections with the existing storm sew
ers.
1.-The danger of this combination was
proved during and after the dreadful
epidemic of yellow fever we suffered
here in 1876. The Bilbo canal being
an outlet for the seething sewers was
only considered a part of the sewers.
The canal became a crying nuisance
because of the nauseous smell eman-
ating therefrom. It was, however,
much less dangerous than the gas
emanating at the house connections.
Citizens Sanitary Association.
Every effort was made by the
Citizens Sanitary Association to induce
the city authorities to abate this evil,
but they failed. When 1 became health
officer, 1 devoted my energies to CIV
ing Savannah a thorough house drain

rapidly off that it would not have
time to ferment or become i'll SMELL
ing. This system was planned to
drain every part of the city and its
extensions. east. west and south.
Why Mr.. Collins did not take fun
advantage of this system, ne knows.
He was not then a president of a real
estate company, but owned a large
block of property at Collinsville Per-
haps the cost of connecting with the
new system had something to do with
the matter. At any rate, even as 1t
is now, a 20 or 24-inch glazed pipe
would carry off all the sewerage of
Collinsville to the river at cost not
to compare with that of covering the
canal. Outside of being in constant
danger on account of the water pres
sure at every rainstorm, it would be-
come very costly. After each storm

Handsome Presents Presented Pas

The Christmas celebration Of the
Christian Church Sunday-school was
held last night at the church on Boil
ton street. The Indictment weather did
not prevent a large number of the
scholars of the school and members of
the congregation from attending the
exercises.
The room was decorated with smi-
lax, and the platform had a red back
ground, in the center of which was a
very clever imitation of an old-fash-
toned brick chimney. over the CEN
ter of the chimney was a large silver
star, representing the Star OF Beth

form was a large mound of ferns and
the organist occupied a seat under a
bower of smilax.

VIII Return.
After a consultation yesterday after
noon the governing committee of the
Savannah Athletic Association decided
TO make no extra charge for the
Charleston game Monday, and the
same prices which prevailed in the
Jacksonville game will be asked for
tickets.
1t was announced in the morning
that the price of general admission to
the Charleston game would be in
creased to rs cents and reserved seats
TO 81. As there was no apparent ne
cessity for this advance in price, there
was a general protest, and hasty
conference was held with the result
above stated.
Seats for the game Monday are al
ready selling rapidly, and as this is
the last game of the year, and the prin-
cipaI one in Savannah's schedule. the
attendance is expected to be even
larger than on Monday. when S,176 per-
sons paid to see the two teams play.
People Are still Guessing.
The Savannah Charleston game is to
Southern football what the Yale-Har-
ward game is to the big Eastern col
leges, and the result of the contest will
be watched all over the South.
The result of the game with jack
sonville left those who depended on
its result to draw conclusions as to
who would be the victor Monday still
in doubt. Both Savannah and Char
lesion advanced the ball with ease
against Jacksonville, but according to
Manager Dozier and Capt. Yancy's
statement, the Jays were 25 per cent.
stronger here than they were when
they played Charleston in Jacksonville.
