"Ch, as long as you like" was the
answer, and the passenger climbed i'll
to the stern of the boat and sat under

Corner" will be missed. it is for his |
charities, says the New York Americ1p. |
His fortune was ample. 1t seemed to |
give him intense pleasure to spend it
on those who really needed succor. II
was his custom to take a walk each
day to the Battery and back. Before
leaving the Fifth Avenuc hotel he
would get a ten Or five dollar bl!l
changed at the cashiers desk into ones
On the way down or UP town he kept
his eyes open for cases of distress. AMI
dollar bill found its way into the
hands OF many a wretchcl man or wo-
man
1t was his delight to gather about
him a number of boys and girls and
take them for Il trolley ride, treat them
to ice cream, cake and flowers and
| then sec that every one of them got
safe to his or her home. More than
| once he has sent Il group of tired New
| York schoolteachers to Europe, pay

of the police force and fire department
owes his job to the general. He never
asked for an appointment on political
| grounds, but purely for merit.
| "When you are in Il strange coun-
! try said General Charles Furlong in
Il the Fifth Avenue hotel one night, any
Il thing like a reminder of home comes
very near the heart. l remember once
spending a few days at Weymouth, in
the south of England, and, walking on
the esplanade there one afternoon, |
ran into a party of Salvation Army
people with the regulation band, drum
/ trumpet and tambourines. They were
| playing Marching Through Georgia,
!, and it was the finest music / had lis
tened to for several months. l gave
the leader two sovereigns, about $40
and he looked at me as if he thought
was crazy. He said it was more money
than they took in in week. l tolt
them to go right ahead with that same
tune for about ten minutes longer, ant

Miss Marie Nichols the Violinist

1t is with peculiar qualification and
interest that Augusta will welcome
Miss Marie Nichols as violin soloist at
the concert to be given by the Festival
Chorus at City hall March 20, not only
because while still very young, she has
won distinguished place among the
musical artists Of this country land
Europe but because she is Il member
OF d Wcll-knoWn Augusta family. Many
OF our older residents pleasantly re-
member her grandfather, the late Asaph
X. Nichols. formerly secretary of
state. His wife WAS a sister Of the
late Col. Thomas Lambard Their son,
Chas. X. Nichols, Miss Nichols father
though leaving Augusta permanently
While still quite young. frequently re
visited and always entertained the
greatest affection for his native city
Miss Nichols was born in Chicago,
nut later came with her family to Bus-
ton, where they still reside This was
the right atmosphere for tho unusual
taste for music which she early showed
ana which received Il remarkable de-
Nelopment by years of Industrious and
intelligent study under such an able
master as Emil Molicnhauer.
In 1902 Miss Nichols went to Europe
Wh"r" she studied with Prof. Carl
Ha!ir in Berlin ana later studied with
the Well-knoWn master. Joseph De-
BRONX in Paris thus getting the bcnc-
lit Of both the German and Belgian
schools
She made her debut in. Paris and
aIttrward played with great success in
Berlin and London. Upon her return
to America she mad" her first appear
