EAGLES SCARED HIGH
AT THEIR SMOKER.

Music, Speeches and Luncheon at
Opening of New Lodge Rooms.
The members of the Savannah Aerie
of the Fraternal Order of Eagles soar
ed high last night. The occasion was
the opening of the Aeries new lodge
rooms in Lyons Block.
Besides the members, and an orches-
ira, a number of invited guests were
present. There was singing and sew
eral excellent addresses were deliv-
cred. Judge H. d. D. Twiggs was the
orator of the evening. Past Worthy
President Cad Bryan presided and did
much to make the session a success.
The Eagles pride themselves on en-
tertaining in royal style, without ruff
nlng their feathers, and they acquitted
themselves last night. They were
there with the goods" from the open
ing until the close, and never slipped a
cog. There was a general feeling of
good fellowship, and the atmosphere
was heavily charged with this exhil-
arating sentiment.
An excellent luncheon-with other
things and cigars-was served as
part of the programme All of this
happened in an adjoining room, it be-
ing explained that the carpet and fur
niture was all new, and that it was not
desirable-just yet-to spill anything on
the fixtures. The supper arrangements
were in charge of Worthy President
George c. Schwarz, DR.. M A. Morris,
e. A. Massart and Charles Toussaint.
During the luncheon a member of
the Aerie was telling one of those
whose pin feathers have not grown
suihciently strong to permit him to fly
any great distance, how President
Teddy Roosevelt chanced to become
an Eagle.
Well say, every nest gets bad egg
In 1t occasionally" suggested an Eagle
who is thorough Democrat.

DANGER OF FROST
is NOW OVER.
Gradual Warming Up of Cold Area
Works Against 1t.

There is now little danger Of a
frost striking Savannah this morning,
though there is still the possibility
that it may do so. Conditions which
prevailed on Saturday night have
changed greatly, and a gradual warm
ing up is noticed at the stations in
the heart of the cold area.
At 8 O'Clock yesterday morning a
high area was central in the region
extending from Montana to Missouri
and extending outward over the en-
tire country, except the central Allan
tic coast. A low area is central near
Wilmington, N. c. There have been
sudden changes in the high area in
the last thirty-six hours, and it's in
tensity has been gradually lost.
From a maximum barometric pres
sure on Saturday morning, at North
Platte, of O.5S it had decreased to
a maximum Sunday morning at Kan
sas City, of 30. 48. During the day
this still farther decreased and the
maximum barometric pressure last
night was 30.32 at Memphis. This
has been accompanied with a gradual
decrease in the intensity of the cold
area, weakening it from minimum
of degrees below zero at Miles City
on Saturday, to a minimum of zero
at Bismark, North Dakota, on Sum
day morning.
In the heart of the southern sec
ton of the country, for which frost
was predicted, there has also been a
gradual warming up. The two low
est temperatures in this section of the
country yesterday morning were at
Birmingham, and at Atlanta. At the
former mercury stood at "a degrees,
and at the latter a temperature of
only 40, was recorded. Last night
Atlanta reported a temperature of A
degrees.
In Savannah there was a gradual
cooling toward night. but it is not be-
lieved that this will continue to the
temperature necessary for a frost. If
the conditions prevailing at 8 o'clock
last night should revert to the condi-
tions of Saturday night, frost is al
most certain. It is regarded as i'm
probable, though possible, that such a
reversion should occur.

CLOSING OF TERM
IN FEDERAL COURT.
Unless Session Is Prolonged, Calen-
dar Cannot Be Cleared.

bhANSS 6CeSAOh AH CN1 OeAA~@--
dar Cannot Be Cleared.
With only this week remaining for
this term of the United States District
and Circuit Court. it is evident that,
unless the session is prolonged, the
calendar cannot be cleared.
In view of the statement of Judge
Emory Speer that he would convene
court in Augusta on the first Monday
in April, it is probable that a number
of the cases now on the calendar will
go over until the November term.
This morning the case against w. E.
Moore, the Guyton colored attorney,
will be the first taken up. United
States Attorney Akerman announced
Saturday night that he would require
at least an hour in examining wit
nesses. Arguments of counsel will
then be made, the jury will be charg-
ed, and the case given into its hands.
1t is probable that this case will occu-
py the greater part of to-day's session.
On Wednesday the turpentine cases
will be taken up The first cases of
this lot called will be those against
the Ellis-Young Company, the Peacock,
Hunt, West Company, and the Consol-
cases will require considerable time
before they can be disposed of.
The peonage cases are also still on
the calendar. Indictments have been
returned against ]. M. Cobb, George
Hart, Crawley, Mcclellan, Williamson,
and the McLeods. No decision has yet
been handed down by the court, on the
demurrer presented in the case against
the McLeods and Williamson, which
was argued by Col p. w. Meldrim.
Cobb and Hart will probably be the
first to be tried. All of the defendants
are under bond, with the exception of
Hart, ands.for- this reason Judge Speer
stated the case against Hart would be
among the first to be tried, as he did
not desire to hold any person in GUS
tody longer than was necessary.
On Wednesday the rule in contempt
brought against Attorney John E. My
rick will be argued. Saturday the
Shanghai cases against Harry Olsen
are slated for trial. These cases will be
hard fought and will require several
days in the hearing. In addition to
these cases of more general interest,
there are several minor criminal mat
ters still unheard and considerable civ
il litigation.
Two important decisions will be
handed down by Judge Speer this
week. One is that regarding the le-
gality of the Recorder sending to the
chaingang summarily, and the other is
the decision in the shark" case
against the Margherita.

Casino Patrons Carried "the scOwI
That Won't Come or"
There were between 200 and 300 dis
appointed people at the Thunderbolt
Casino yesterday afternoon.
The afternoon itself was not very in
viting, and but for the fact that ''the
regular Sunday afternoon orchestra
concert had been advertised, not many
would have made the trip
The orchestra put in its appearance
on time, but the instruments were not
even tuned up Somebody decided that
there would be no concert, although
no announcement of the fact was ever
made. Then the musicians piled into
a car and came back to the city.
Some of the patrons of the resort let
out a few notes, but there was discord
after discord, and it was anything but
music to the ears of the management.

CONSERVATIVE DEMOCRATS SEE
VICTORY IN NEW YORK JUDGE.

Call for Meeting at which Club VIII

business Men viii Work for Par
ker's nterests-PrOminent Naval
stores Factor, just Back from
New York, Says Parker VIII Win,
as Well ns Get Nomination.
Plans are already being made for the
organization of a Parker Club in Sa-
vannah and the call for a meeting will
probably be issued to-day or to-mor-
row.
1t is expected that before the end
of the week there VIII be a general
scramble to get into the Parker band
wagon, since the prevailing opinion
now is that Judge Parker will be the
Democratic nominee for President.
AT the preliminary meeting tenn
porary officers will be chosen, and lat
er, a general meeting will be called,
at which permanent officers will be
elected. The call for the first meet
ing will be sent out within the next
day or two, and prominent business
strong Parker Sentiment Here.
There has been a strong Parker
sentiment in Savannah all along and
since it has been practically determin-
ed that Cleveland will not make the
race, the Parker forces have increas-
ed materially.
The conservative element in Savan-
nah is behind Judge Parker almost to
a man and, too, some of those who
were for Hearst a few months ago
now realize that the newspaper man
has no chance of securing the
nomination, and is not even looked
upon seriously in his own state.
VIII Be Next President.
Judge Parker will not only be the
Democratic nominee, but he will be
the next President" said a prominent
naval stores factor who has just re-
turned from New York, where he
spent several weeks. Il found that
the rank and file of Tammany is for
Parker in preference to all Others
and don't know just what little
game the leaders are playing with
their Cleveland talk. OF course, it
is realized now that Cleveland is out
of the question.
But the hold Judge Parker has on
the Democratic forces in New York
Is really WOnQeIlul anu NEW IOIh Will
support him solidly And he will be
elected as well as Nominated. OF
course, there is no question since the
death of Hanna, that Roosevelt will
get the Republican nomination, and
from all l can gather he cannot win.
He is becoming more unpopular daily
and many of those in his own ranks
will not vote for him.
Hearst Is Not in 1t.
Hearst is not to be considered at
ALL His candidacy is simply laugh
ed at in the North. He is not taken
seriously although he has occasioned
considerable talk throughout the coun-
dtrv.
= Really Hearst made a great mis-
take. He has been almost invaluable
to the Democratic party and will prob
ably continue to be. But he should
have run for Mayor of New York be-
fore tackling anything so big as a
presidential nomination"
