HON, CHAMP CLARK TONIGHT.
Noted Statesman Coming Direct from
Washington for This Engagement.

All roads will lead to City hall this
evening where the Hon. Champ Clark
next ranking officer of this government
to the President, will give his famous
lecture picturesque Public Men, 1t
will not be partisan politics he will talk
about, but in his marvellous command OF
language he will tell you truths you have
never known about politics and politi-
clans.
The finest audience ever assembled at
a lecture in Augusta will greet this not
ed man, who cannot fail to appreciate
his reception Thanks to the size OF City
hall there will be plenty of room for all
who wish to attend, and even those VINO
at the last minute decide to go can uh-
doubtedly obtain seats To obtain the
most desirable ones, however, apphca-
ton should be made during the day at
the places of advance sale in the three
cities.
Sneaker Clark has knocked out bigger
inches in the temple of fame than any
man in Congress. He made speech
about Tammany that set the entire ma
ton thinking. His speech on the Cuban
question was printed in more languages
than the best educated men know. 1t ap-
peared in % papers in France alone, and
in every country where liberty is loved
his speech was quoted.
AS a wit, mutitudes place Clark high
on the roll of those who woo sweet
laughter from the lips of men, The mo-
tor of his elocution being impulsiveness
felicity CLEANS in his eye as he weaves
into the woof of his argument fancitul
phrases and fantastic suggestions
To hear Speaker Clark tonight will be
an opportunity of ones lifetime, a chance
which hundreds of cities would gladly
pay large sums to obtain. Augusta was
promised this privilege nearly year ago
and since that time Speaker Clark has
refused over $4,000 worth of other lee
ture engagements. If you are wise yot
will be in a seat at City hall at O'Clock
tonight.-Advt.

Christmas Day Is a
Happy One in City.

Christmas was a day of good cheer
and happiness in Augusta, not only in
the city's hundreds of happy homes
but also in the several institutions of
a public nature, in each of which the
day was observed with the traditional
Christmas dinner and the other fea-
lures which go to make the day what
it is, and brought happiness to many
hearts from which it otherwise might
have been missing.
AS has long been the custom at the
Augusta State hospital, the day was
observed with feasting and program
for the enjoyment of the inmates. The
program began Wednesday evening,
when Christmas tree was given in
the chapel. The tree was laden with
presents and the Hospital Orchestra
rendered an excellent program, and
this with other features furnished to
all an evening Of pleasure. The Christ
mas dinner, Thursday noon, included
in it's menu roast turkey and every
thing else that goes to make up this
feast, and that it was enjoyed need
hardly be said.

their restricted liberty when they sat
down at noontime to dinner of cold
boiled ham with potatoes and gravy,
onions, squash, mince and apple pie,
apples and coffee. and gave themselves
up to the enjoyment of the occasion.
The City farm was another place
where Christmas good cheer prevail
ed, and Supt. and Mrs. Martin saw to
it that the charges intrusted to their
care were made happy. They were
given a dinner OF roast chicken, cram
berry sauce, vegetables, pickles. to-
gether with mince and apple pie, cake,
candy and nuts. and each was remem
bered with gifts appropriate to the
day.
Perhaps among those who had the
best time for the day were the young
sters at the Children's Home on Sew
all street. They regaled themselves on
roast chicken and all the "fixins,' in
Guiding the vegetables and celery,
etc, provided by Mr.. Littlefield's Sum-
day school class of the Penney Me-
mortal Baptist church. while Mrs. f.
w. Church sent the ice cream. Among
those present were Supt. w. c. Hawes
and Mrs Caroline Fogg and daugh-

Claus, pack and all, made his appear

by the "a children present. Santa gave
the children a talk and distributed his

gave Santa a box of candy. The oc-
casion was most happy one through

St. Mary S Defeats
A. A. A., Jrs., ll=3.

Those who did not have anything spe-
cial to do and wished some place to pass
away the afternoon Christmas, found
plenty of amusement in witnessing the
basketball game at the Augusta skating
rink between the boys of st. Mary's
College at Van Buren, and the Augusta
A A. Jrs. The game was fast every
minute and was characterized by clever
passing and team work that would be
credit to older players. The teams were
made up of youngsters who, of course,
were light but nevertheless it was inter
esting to watch. The boys who made up
the Van Buren, team were all from Au-
gusta and naturally a great deal of in
terest was aroused.
Two 15-minute periods were played and
when the smoke cleared away the St
Mary team had total of Il points to
their credit while the Augusta team had
but three. Jimmie Colgan, son of City
Marshal Colgan, was about the only lad
for the losers who could locate the bas-
ket he scoring all of the points made by
his team. The French team passed all
around their opponents and kept the red
jerseyed youngsters guessing most of the
time. Squabbles such as is apt to occur
in any game, not only among young
sters but the older ones as well, were
few The first half ended to 0 in favor
of the st Mary team.
A young lad named Cyr. who played
the position of right back, furnished
plenty of amusement for the crowd. This
youngster possesses the taen and MS
clever lodging and handling the ball
showed those familiar with the game that
some day he will be a fast one. J. La
liberte, who played right forward, was
high man in the point getting, shooting
iors put up good game but were out
classed and team work was lacking. A
great deal of credit must be given them
for their pluck. 1t would be hard to
pick a star on either team for they all
played good ball. Following is the sum-

MAY GO TO BRADY.
Oswego Man May Be U. S. District
Attorneys First Assistant

That the row in Wichita resulting
from the failure of Judge Ayers to land
the United States district attorneyshlp
may result in the appointment of Frank
NJ Brady, of Oswego, as first assistant
to Fred S. Robertson in the attorney
office is an opinion entertained by a
number of prominent Kansas Demo-
Gratis. Ayers, it is claimed, has fatty
refused the first ssistantship, and it is
considered probable that the place may
be offered to the Oswego lawyer, who
was recently appointed by Governor
Hodges as a member of the board or
control.
Both Ayers and Brady wanted to sue
coed Harry J. Bone as United States
district attorney. When Fred Robert
son, of Atwood, was recommended for
the place, the first aSslstantSh1p was
offered to Ayers and the second place
to Brady. But Ayers went into the
Dostoffice war conference with friends
of Capt. Shields of Wichita and is re-
ported as declining anything except
Bones job. Brady, on the other hand,
has said little but has been a rather
busy man.
Now the Democratic dope sheet puts
Brady as a strong possibility for the
first assistantship. Asked regarding the
matter today, Brady declined to dis
cuss the possibility of his receiving this
appointment or to state positively
whether he would accept the place in
event it was offered to him.
Should both join in the revolt, then
some new man would probably be en-
tered in the race. At least four APP
plicants for an assistants place de-
veloped today. They are: L. S. Harvey,
of Kansas City, Kan, William Bowes of
Alma, c. B. Little of Olathe and Eliza
H. Hurd of Coldwater. All of these
men are regarded as active candidates
for appointment.

nance of several years standing. The
bride-elect is Miss Irene Moore, and
the wedding is scheduled to take place
this evening at the home of the
brides cousin, A. L. Moore at High
land Park. After his arrival, Senator
Brady lost no time in going out to
Waukegan and getting marriage Ii
cense. He declined to say where he
and the bride were going on their
wedding trip.
Miss Moore will be attended by
Mrs. Henry Suzzallo of New York, as
matron of honor. The ceremony will be
performed by the Rev. Calvin I. Dod-
son, pastor of the Highland Park

"JUST HUGGING?"
Alleged Fight Looked Like Hugging
Match to Witness.

The commission chamber at the
city hall has been transformed today
into court room. George G. O'Neill,
former superintendent of the city light
plant, and Robert E. Williamson, fire
man, both of whom were discharged
by Commissioner Newland on May "a,
for engaging in a fight near the home
of the latter at 432 East Seventh
street, are being given a hearing be-
fore the board of civil service exam
liners.
The hearing began this morning
and is being continued this afternoon.
Robert Stone and NJ. o. Locke are rep
resenting O'NeHl, and A. ]. Bolinger
is representing Williamson. The city
attorney is acting for Commissioner
F. M. Newland who preferred charges
against the two men.
Among those who testified this
morning were H. P. Miller, Commits
sioner Newland, and Mr. O'NeiIl. A
colored woman who was called upon
to testify stated that she saw the
fight, but at the time thought that
Oeill and Williamson were just hug
ging one another in playful manner.
She saw no blows struck.
Testimony was to the effect that
Williamson failed to report for duty
four times; he was also sometimes
late in reporting for work. O'Neill
went to his house to see if he were
i'll and then the trouble started.
