A large consignment of com missary goods amounting to $t:,00l) has nlso been received for the regiment's This sudden turn of affairs has pro duced the greatest Interest nmong tho boys of the Thirteenth, most of whom now feel that they will be leaving hero cither for home or for Cuba in a very short time. NEW YEAR'S DAY. The experience of spending New Year's day In tho south Is quite novel to practically every member of the regiment, and the boys have many limes relleeted upon the hundreds of miles which are are separated from home and friends. During la-t even ing and all the present day, many have been the remarks made about Scranton, and countless the surmises as to what loved ones at home were doing. There were different shades of feelings, but in most instances it was a case wherein "Memory was the only friend that grief could call its own." The pleasant work of ringing out the old year and ringing in the Nov Year was. perhaps never before un dertaken with so much spirit and en thusiasm in this part of the south, as it was last night. It was a New Year's Mardi Gras, a regular, good natured pandemonium, In which every body tried to out-do his neighbor i i the matter of making noise. Most of the boys did not turn in at taps, as they usually do, and, as a result, at the stroke of twelve there went up a mighty cheer from camp. Hells wero rung, drums beaten, blank cartridges were fired, and on every side uproar and confusion reigned. Several groups of music lovers gathered toge ther and sang till they were hoarse, and then all went to their quarters. In a few minutes the camp was as quiet as the grave, but while the cele bration lasted, the men of the star Pennsylvania regiment certainly made themselves heard after their own fash Ion, and In a way which was strange to the Sabbatarian atmosphere of this part of Georgia. REGIMENTAL JOLLIFICATIONS. The jollification in the Thirteenth was supplemented with somewhat sim ilar good times in the Eighth and Fif teenth Minnesota, whoso bands turned out to bid adieu to the old jear, and to welcome tS1!. There was very little excitement In Fide the regimental camp Huwlay. In the mornlnp liberal pass privileges were granted, and many of the boys went to Augusta, either to chinch or for mere change of scenery. In the morning Chaplain Stnhl held services In the V M. C. A. tent, and preached a shorl, but appropriate sermon, In which he pointed out to his hearers the best and most appropriate resolu tions which they should make lor the New Year. In most of the companies j-ome ex tras were served for dinner. A's menu consisted of fresh toast pork, mashed potatoes, and turnips, pickles and peach jelly. Tho boys of It hnd veal, saur kraut, celery, pudding and beer. Oysters stewed, wore relished in F. The members of Company C, through the foresight of Captain Robllng and the excellent cooking abilities of the chef, Abel Arnold, enjoyed excellent meals. For breakfast they had ham anu two noueu eggs iaui, by way of extras, and at dinner, which was serv ed with elaborato preparations In the mess hall, they weie served turkey, mashed potatoes, macaroni, fresh but ter, rice pudding, apple dumplings and ouo bottle of beer to each man. The staff and line officers, who re mained In camp, alto enjoyed some extra delicacies for dinner; the others paid a visit to Augusta. THEY JIM E RETURNED. Captain J. "W.

"Tho Highwayman." Picturesque and tuneful Is "Tho Highwayman," De Koven nnd Smith's opera, which was sung before a large audience at the Lyceum last night by a fine company headed by Camilla D'Ar vlllo, one of tho foremost comic opera artists of tho country. The scene of the opera Is laid In England during the Dick Turpln period and In some re spects the opera is a strong reminder of "Robin Hood," the most popular and enduring of the works that have come from the prolific pens of Reginald DeKoven and Harry B. Smith. The story of the opera Is as follows: Dick Fitzgerald, an Irish soldier of fortune, ruined by a gambler, Jack Hawkhurst, becomes a highwayman, and wins notoriety as "Captain Scar let." Lady Constance Sinclair, who loves Dick, disguises as Scarlet and "holds up" a stage coach In order to obtain Dick's pardon, which has fallen Into the hands of Hawkhurst. Lieu tenant Rodney, one of Nelson's ofllcers, also disguises as Scarlet in order to carry off Pamela, his sweetheart, who is traveling in the same coach. A third masquerader is Toboy, 'ostler of the Cat-and-riddle, who is told by the bar maid, Dolly, that she will not mar ry htm unless he proves himself a hero. Tho three alleged Scarlets are all ar rested by different olliclals, who are after the thousand pounds reward of fered for tho highwayman. Conspicu ous among these minions of the law are Constable Quller of Bow street, and Lieutenant Lovelace, of the Militia. The real Captain Scarlet (Dick Fitzger ald) meanwhile, ms a lame peddler, makes game of his pursuers, and rep resents himself as Lord Kilkenny, an Irish nobleman, from whom ho has taken proofs of identity. Dick devotes his efforts to freeing those who have pretended to bf Captain Scarlet, but Is finally brought to bay by the appear ance of tho real Lord Kilkenny. Con stance produces his pardon, however, After the Fever Llttlo Clrl Was Weak and Could Not Eat Hood's Sarsnpnrlllo Gavo Her Appetite and Strength Eczoma Disappoarlng. "My llttlo girl was sick for several months with typhoid fever, and after sh got over it she was weak and did not cat. My husband got her a bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla, saying it would make her eat and givo her atreugth and it did. She had taken It only a short timo when she was well and strong. Everyone .who ecu her is surprised at her Improvement because she was so weak and thin, but now is fat and healthy. I am giving; her Hood's Sarsaparilla now for eczema and the trouble is fast disappearing. My hus band has taken It for rheumatism and it has dono him good." Mrs. Clinton B.

Camilla D'Arvlllo gave a. brilliant presentation of tho role of Lady Sin clair and her splendid voice was heard to good advantage In the many num bers that fall to her lot. Reginald Rob erts was a disappointment In tho rolo of Dick Fitzgerald, to those who had the privilege of seeing tho dashing Jo seph. O'Mnra enact It. George O'Don ncll, the successor of Jcromo S.vkes as Constable Foxy Qulltcr, made a most favorablo impression. Ho succeeded In injecting a lot of humor Into the com edy lines of tho opera.

The play enables tho come dlan to be seen to tho beat advantage In one of tho strongest roles he has ever appeared in as a star. Tito com edy Is from the pen of George H.

Tho engagement of "Tho Village Postmaster," tho great Now York suc cess, and fresh from its triumphant run of 106 nights, will commence at ihe Lyceum, this city, on Saturday, with matinee, Jan. 7, and for another performance on tho same date. "The Village Postmaster" deals with life in New England one half century ago. It closed a highly successful run Sat urday evening last In New York. Tho New York critics pronounce It one of tho prettiest rural plays that has ever been seen there, not even axceptlng "The Old Homestead." It has a pret ty love etory running through It.
