Tho consignment for the Thirteenth,
which oamp here dlieetly from the ur
scnal at .SnrlnKtlelil, Mass., in care of
Major I'ltmiin of the local arsenal, was

that there arc now In Major Pitman a
charge at tho aisenul nt this place emu
hundred rounds of ammunition for th
Krae-Joiy-nFcn rifles for every man in

will be liivuied and the old Sprii'Kllelds
returned to the arsenal when word to
that effect shall havo come from tho
seeretaty of war. If that messago

now encamped here, will soon be in
Cuba. If not tho tmestion Is still unde
cided. 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. Kambcclc and PUvates
James O'Malley and Clarence Mills, of

IN THE PLAY HOUSES.
"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,

"My llttlo girl was sick for several

My husband got her a bottle of Hood's

She had taken It only a short timo when

and tho customary happy matrimonial
denouement ensues.
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

favorablo impression. Ho succeeded In
injecting a lot of humor Into the com
edy lines of tho opera. John Mnyon as
sisted In tho comedy work. Tho cho
ruses were excellent.
Tho opera was handsomely staged,
the company carrying nearly nil of tho
scenery and accessories with it.

this evening. Mr. Reed returns with
a now comedy thnt has proven to bo
ono of tho big hits of tho season,
crowded houses being tho rule every
where. 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.
Broadhurst, a young, writer who gives
promise from his present work of being
one of our most brilliant dramatists.
Tho title of tho comedy is "Tho Wiong
Mr. Wright."
Tho Villago Postmaster.
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.
