The MeAIlisters - a Savannah
Family.

A recent letter from "Gath," the well
known New York correspondent, contains
this: ''The present society boss Is man
named Ward McAllister, who comes from
somewhere South. Very little Is known
about him, except that he lives down
about Twenty-second street, in the neigh
borhood of Sixth avenue, mile away from
the rich and leading element Of New York.
He has no known business, and
cuts no figure in financial, artistic or pro
fessional nfe.'
The McAllister alluded to is named
Samuel Ward McAllister, and is commonly
called Ward McAllister. He is the third of
the five sons Of Matthew Hall McAllister, a
distinguished lawyer and politician OF Sa-
vaunah, Georgia, and we'll known through
out the State. All Of his children were
born in that city, as he was himself. The
oldest son (Julian) is a Colonel of artillery
IN the United States army. The next son
(HalD is a we'll known lawyer in San
Francisco, and if not at the head. among
the leaders of the bar Of that city. The
fourth son (Marion) is a well known and
worthy Episcopal clergymen, with parish
at some city on the Hudson. The fifth son
Cutler, lawyer OF San Francisco, died a
few years ago. His only daughter (Harriet),
who became a Mrs. Francis, Of New York,
is also dead Her father was the first Z III
ted States Judge appointed for California,
and had he not soon died, would have been
the United States Supreme Court Judge for
that circuit. His American ancestors were
all Georgians
Mr.. Ward McAllister's mother was Louisa
Cutler, OF Boston. Her mothers mother
was Esther Marion. the only sister of Cen.
Francis Marion, of South Carolina. She
married a gentleman named Mitchell, and
their daughter Sarah married Benz amin
Clark Cutler, Of Boston, who were Mrs.
McAllister's parents. Mrs. McAlhster had
brother, who was long time the rector OF
an Episcopal parish in Brooklyn or New
York, and a sister, who was the wife Of the
late DR.. Francis, a famous physician OF New
York city.
Ward McAilister, "the society boss, "
married a Miss Gibbons, OF New jersey.
On her fathers side she is a Georgian. Her
father was an immensely wealthy man,
whether estimated by his lands and slaves
in Georgia or by his stocks and bonds at the
North. II is therefore to be supposed that
Mr.. McAllister has the means to enjoy his
taste and to support his social position. A
man that can snub the Astors and fix the
social status Of the Vanderbilts must be
more than Gan unknown man who, about
the close of the war, dropped down on New
York. n-Andntd Constitution.

Legitimate Advertising.

The Madison Square Theatre, the most
successful play house In New York, has no
faith IN large posters and bill boards. l;
does all of its advertising through the legiti
mate channels Of the newspapers, and has
reaped rich pecuniary harvest from the
seed sown in this way. It's pieces have had
the longest runs OF any presented in New
York, and they have met with equal favor
when ''upon the road" In both cases the
patronage received has been from the best
class Of people. The experience which has
caused Mr.. Daniel Frohman, the manager
Of the Madison Square Theatre, to call at
tention to his attractions through the public
journals has been gained through years OF
faithful service, both at home and abroad.
Advertising on the walls belongs to an age
when newspapers were few, and should be
discontinued, with other useless fashions
which have had their day. 1t NAV do to
herald the approach Of a circus with flaming
pictures, but the unsensational drama needs
no fashy pictorial display.

The Steamer Plant.

The many friends Of Captain Fitzgerald
in Savannah will be pleased to read the fol-
lowing.iu reference to his fine steamer, which
was so popular on the Tybee route last sea-
son, which we clip from the Jacksonville
Union:
The fine iron steamer H. B. Plant, after
having been supplied with state rooms, and
Otherwise improved, is now ready to take
her place in the De Barry line, and will proba-
bly, make her first trip to Sanford to-day.
Twenty-six new and commodious state
rooms, finished up in polished pine and
walnut, supplied with large and commodi-
Gus berths, marble top stands, etc., have
been added. The saloon, running almost
the entire length Of the steamer, is large,
handsomely finished and attractive. The
furniture is of the latest pattern, and has
been introduced into the steamer with a
view as much to the comfort Of passengers
as for its elegance. Captain Fitzgerald
has certainly displayed good judg-
ment throughout in the arrangement Of his
fine steamer, " hich cannot be excelled on the
s.. Johns river for comfort, beauty or
speed. The carpets, mattresses, linen, ETC.,
were furnished by A. T. Stewart Il Co., Of
New York. The dining saloon, on the main
deck aft, is large and conveniently srraDg-
ed, aud has q seating capacity of rty per
sons. The steamer Is owned by Cap. j. w.
Fitzgerald and the Wsycross Railr Il Com
pauy, and will be commanded bl Captain
Fitz Gerald, who is too well known on the
ST. Johns river to require any introduction
from US. Capt. NJ. ]. Sattery, an old and
experienced steamboat man, will occupy the
position Of first mate. Mr.. Jos. w. White
has been appointed purser Mr.. Harry Nc
Cullough first, and Mr.. B. Mcintyre second
engineer. The steamer Plant is destined,
and deservedlY so, to be one OF the most
popular passenger steamer on the st. Johns
river

The presentation of Shakespeare's great
tragedy OF Macbeth" at the Theatre las
night by Frank Mayo and his large comDs-
ny, was an exceedingly creditable and salts
factory performance. Mr.. Msyo's version
IS greatly different from that Of any
actor who has played here Of
late years, and the Introduction Of music
was q novel and pleasing feature. The
scene st the witches cave was picturesque
and the chorus was especially good. Mr..
Mavo's Macbeth" was a fine interpreta-
ton aud was frequently applauded. He
was twice called before the curtain. Mr..
Boniface was an excellent "Macduff," and
acted with spirit and force. The LADY
Macbeth of Mrs. c. L. Davenport was
also very good, and the remainder of the
cast was we'll sustained. The company give
their farewell performances this afternoon
aud evening-"Ingomar' at the matinee
and "Davy Crockett" at night.

The New Railroad Bridge Over Ghe
Savannah River.

Mr.. Akin, Of the firm Of Clark &
Co., bridge builders Of Baltimore, is now
engaged in the construction Of the new
bridge over the Savannah river, on the
Charleston and Savannah road. 1t is stated
that the piles and pillars are all in place and
safe from injury or damage By the floods,
which usually set in about this time Of the
year. This is especially fortunate, for
food during the past few weeks would have
been a serious Injury and cause for delay.
The new bridge foundations are now
ready for the river, and upon its arrival the
work Of putting in the spans will proceed
rapidly. The spans will be two hundred
feet each, and the length Of the whole
bridge will be twelve hundred feet. A draw
will be in position to admit the passage OF
boats on the river. The bridge is reached
by long trestle work on either side. This
new bridge is much needed, and will be
finished by the middle OF April.
