"Ths White Slave Before a Large Au-
dience Last Night-Fanny Davenport's
Fedora"
''The White Slave,'' BARLEY CampbelFs
new play. was presented last night before
a large audience-nearIy every seat in the
Theatre being filled. The play is a de-
cided member of the Uncle Toms CABIN"
and ssOct0roon" school, but captured the
audience by storm. Every act was greet
ed with applause. The story follows the
vicissitudes of Lisa, the heroine, who be-
Ieves herself to be an OetOroon and slave,
in which capacity she falls to the owner
ship of a man who attempts her honor. but
who is resisted with scorn- Her resistance
and escape, and subsequent discovery
that she is not slave. but the child of
her former masters daughter, form the
strong dramatic features of the play, in
which there is constant action and many
picturesque tableauX.
The sale of seats for "EedOra" Will be-
gin this morning. The prospects are that
the performance on Thursday evening
will be the theatrical event Of the season
in Savannah. The New Orleans Times
Democrat says of the production of the
play in that city: seldom is it that an
audience is worked up to such pitch of
excitement as was witnessed during the
performance of Fedora" In some of
the passages murmurs ran through the
house involuntarily drawn out by the sit
uations. and it was some minutes before
they were subdued. With each act people
became more and more nervous. If the
one lust closed was so startling, what
would the next be? Some seemed to fear
almost the rising of the curtain on some
scene beyond the powers of their endur-
ance. and thus it was until the very close.
To saw that the interest was riyeted would
be saving but little. The house was in a
spell and could not throw the morbid
infatuation off. The applause was yOcif-
erous in every act, and the curtain had
to be run up several times in response to
the appreciatiye demonstrations.

ST. PATRICK's DAY.
Another Protest Against Its General
Observance.

Another RfOI0SI against Us OS"SA0'-
Observance.
Editor Morning Ne,oS: notice dis
position on the part of the Irish societies
of Savannah to encourage a general pa
rade ON st. Patrick's day. This practice
which in past years was nurtured to such
inflated spread-eagle proportions as to be
shamed into a discontinuance, l had hoped
was permanently slowed away with the
things of the past. AS an Irishman may
ask, what now is the object of its resur-
rection?
In ireland, where it originated, the day
is celebrated as religious holiday in houor
of the illustrious apostle who converted
that nation to Christianity. 1t never was
intended, nor has it ever been celebrated
there in any other manner. 1t is only
outside of Ireland-notably in America
that the day has been perverted from the
original ntention-ostensibly for the free
dom of ireland, but actually for political
partizan purposes.
Were Ireland to achieve her independ-
ence by parades. banquets and process
sions. she would long ago have been as
free as the air of heaven, whereas, in
fact. the flag of her freedom is still as in
visible as the inhabitants of the planet
Saturn, Tn JOG contrary, Lueo6 CClGbl d
tions have been loss and a stumbling
block to practical revolution. Let me es-
innate the loss. Let us suppose on am
average 1000, 600 men to have turned out
on recurring st. Patrick S days over the
globe, Allow the cost to each man in loss
of time. banqueting and attendant para
phernalia to be So, it would aggregate
100000. Multiply this by 40, the num-
Der of years this foolish practice has
been INDUCED in, and it would sum up the
enormous amount of $200,000,000. Two
hundred million dollars frittered away IN
vain. improbable objects which, were
A 1.-THE of it available to-day for reyolu-
tionarv purposes, Ireland, twenty-four
hours from date, would not be under
English domination.
do not object to societies whose ami
versarv st. Patrick's day is to turning out
and celebrating the day for their recrea-
ton or amusement. That is their pr.yi-
iege. but to give it any further significance
and encourage a general parade or cele-
bration ostensibly in the interest Of Ire
land. while that unfortunate country IS
still tioundering IN the slough Of despond,
in chains and slavery, | do emphatlcally
object. | hope these societies Will recon-
slider the question and forego st. Patrick's

TRADE PROSPECTS.

What a Philadelphia Merchant Says
About the Business OutIoOk-A Fine
Trade Looked For in All Parts of the
Country.
Mr.. Robert J. Black, representing the
well-known house of Nessrs. Wanna
maker & Brown, of Philadelphia, was in
the city yesterday. Mr.. Black has for Il
years been at the head of the agencies
which represent that firm in different
parts of the country, and re-
porter Of the MORNING News asked
him what he thought of the
business outlook throughout the
country. Mr., Black replied: every
thing indicates a fine run of trade in
nearly every line. Last season crops
were comparatively poor in the South, as
we'll as in Ohio. Illinois, Indiana and
other States. and it is improbable that a
similar drought will follow this year. In
fact, Judging from the orders that are be-
ing received In Philadelphia and other
points. and from conversations which L
have had with merchants and business
men in the South, there will be marked
increase in trade generally. That opln-
ion is shared by Mr.. Wannamaker,
and already arrangements have been
uluuC " supply TIC plo9RONNAt = NNAAsA'N'
through last season, every department
was worked down close in anticipation OF
the dull season that has followed"
Look at the condition of last seasons
business in Pittsburg, Pa, where some OF
the largest glass works and other manu-
factories in the country are located. In
that city, out of a population of less than
one hundred thousand, thirty thousand
were idle, while the coal and iron mines
and works of Pennsylvania were stag
nant and thousands out of employment.
Now. work in all these branches is again
springing into life.'
''Will not the floods in the Ohio valley
seriously injure tradeT' asked the re-
porter.
'.They will Indirectly affect many inter-
ests beyond the lines of the water courses
where the floods have directly caused so
much destruction and suffering. There
was a time when that portion of the
United States comprised the greater por-
ton of the productive territory of the
country, but the territory tributary to it
and the South, and the States west of the
Mississippi and north of the Ohio have
become great producers. So that the ef-
fects Of the flood will be but temporarily
felt except by comparatively few people"
ssDO YOU see any improvement in the
condition of the SOuth~
ssAlI the way from Baltimore and
through the South the improvement seems
almost marvellous, especially during the
past two or three years. and notWith-
standing the drought of last year. The
farms are well kept and the Improvement
is uumistakable."
