store Of Best & Thompson and secured
goods to the amount of $40, a side Of
meat and a box of tobacco on an or

said was w. w. Smith. The negro rep
resented that he was a tenant living
on the farm Of Mr.. Smith and that his

to the books they found that Graham
had been trading on Mr.. Smiths orders
and the firm let him have the goods.
Later in the day Mr.. Smith came to the
city and denied having written an or

Dudley, and is said to be a fugitive
from justice from Lenoir county.

COST OF LIVING IN ENGLAND.

Most of the houses on and near the
leas in England are larger than the
most American houses, says a writer
in Harper's Magazine, and the ar
rangement much more agreeable and
sensible than that of our average
houses; the hallway opens from a
handsome vestibule, and the stairs as
cend from the rear of the hall and
turn squarely as they mount half way
up. But let not the intending exile
suppose that their rents are low; with
the rates and taxes which the tenant
always pays in England, the rents are
fully UP to those in towns of corre-
spending size with us. Provisions are
even higher than in our subordinate
cities.
For the same money, though, they
can live more handsomely, for the do
mestic service in England is cheap and
abundant and well ordered. Yet, on
the other hand, they cannot live so
comfortably, nor, taking the prevail
ence of rheumatism into account, so
wholesomely. There are no furnaces
in these very personable houses; steam
heat is undreamed of. and the CRATES,
which are in every room, and are not
of ignoble size, scarce suffice to keep
the mercury above the early sixties Of
the thermometers degrees. If you
would have warm hands and feet, you
must go out of doors and walk them
warm. 1t is not a bad plan, and If you
can happen on a little sunshine out OF
doors it is far better than to sit cow
ering over the CRATE, which has enough
to do in keeping itself warm.

splendid qualities of voice and temper
ament that have made him one Of the
greatest operate singers of the time.
In spite of the fact that he is now in
concert work, in his operate selections
he uses all the dramatic fervor and
gestures of the operatic stage which
add In no small part to the effect.
At least two of the numbers sung
were sung by him on his former APP
pearance in Savannah, the buffo SONG
from the Barber of Seville" and the
Carmen selection. The latter he gave
by request, a favor of which the audi
ence expressed its appreciation not
only by the heartiest applause, but by
applauding as soon as the first notes
of the piano introduction were recog-
nized.
Each of the other artists was well
received and deserved the favor with
which the efforts were met. Miss
Hoyle, the violiniste, played unusu-
ally well, showing herself to be pos
sessed not only of a fine technique and
unusual powers FOR violiniste, but
also of a wide and sympathetic
knowledge of the many schools as
shown in the variety of her selections
and the sympathetic Interpretation
given each.
Miss Fischer has a brilliant soprano
voice or wide range and power and
she used it with most artistic effect.
She was heard at her best in the
Micaela aria from Carmen, though
her popular success was in the lighter
numbers, Bucks when the Heart Is
Young" and two recall pieces that
were demanded of her by the audi
ence.
Mr.. Stephens, the pianist, likewise
proved a~favorite, his playing of the
Gottschalk Motto Peppetuo," probably
better known as the "Tremolo," prov
ing an unusually popular number. His
other selections were well played and
received with warm applause.
The Music Club has other concerts
planned that will be in keeping with
that of Campanari in artistic merit
and the outlook is that the present
season will be one of the most bril-
liant, If not the most brilliant, that
Savannah has ever enjoyed.
