They Interested the People of Savan-
nah Yesterday.

The circus has gone. Those who paid
their money to see the animals and hear
the jokes Of the clown are satisfied, doubt
less, that they got their moneys worth.
Many of them perhaps say that they never
want to see another circus, but like those
who after hearty dinner declare that
they feel they shall never want anything
more to eat, but who have a pretty keen
appetite when the dinner hour arrives
again, they will be found among the
patrons Of the next circus that comes.
The Doris circus drew a crowd at both
performances and, perhaps, would have
drawn other crowds if it had given more
performances. All circuses bear a
close resemblance. Some, of course,
are a great deal better than others. The
Doris circus is perhaps about as good as
the best that have visited this part OF the
South in late years. All saw some
thing that pleased them, ard something
perhaps that didn't please them, but as
there was a great difference OF opinion re-
speeding different things about everything
came in for some applause. The small boy
was supremely happy. He saw nothing to
criticise.
The Doris circus regards its specialties
as its strong point. 1t certainly has some
good special performers. There were two
or three things which some of those pre-
sent declared were alone worth the price
of admission. There is no occasion to
enumerate them. Those who were pre-
sent yesterday Will remember them, and
those who visit the circus on its way
South will quickly recognize them.

CAMPAIGN FINDS.
To the Democrats of Savannah.

To the Democrats of Savannah.
The Republican party, as usual, is
making the campaign for the election of
President a commercial one.
Some of the most wealthy and unscru-
pulOus men are understood to have taken
stock in the election of Mr.. Blaine, the
Republican candidate. This means money
for election purposes, and large dividends
to the stockholders after the election at
the expense of the people should the
Blaine scheme succeed.
The Democrats have no rich mOnOpo-
lists nor an army of offceholders to sup
ply money for campaign purposes. Yet
some money is needed for the purpose Of
paying the necessary expenses for con-
Quoting an intelligent campaign, and to
offset in some measure the means upon
which the Republicans rely for success.
To Democrats and to all citizens, who
cherish the patriotic sentiment that re-
joices in the dignity, honor, purity and
well-being of the National Government,
the National Executive Committee of the
Democratic party appeals for aid in the
patriotic work of electing Grover Cleve-
land President of the United States.
Those who desire to aid the good cause
can hand their subscriptions, large or
small, to the undersigned, who have been
appointed committee for Savannah, or
they may hand them in at the MORNING
NEWS office, at the Daily Times Office, at
Reid's drug store, corner East Broad and
South Broad streets; at Hillsman's drug
store, corner West Broad and Broughton
streets; or to j. j. McGowan at the Court
House.

CLOSE THE BLINDS.

A Sneak Thief Enters a House on Hen
ry street and Gets Away with His
Doodle.
Shortly after dark on Friday evening
sneak thief entered the residence of Mr..
James NJ. Mckinley, on Henry street, near
Drayton, by climbing to the second story
OF the piazza of the house, and thence en-
tering the sleeping rooms, where he sue
ceeded in stealing a quantity of clothing
and pieces of embroidery. 1t is probable
the intruder would have stolen other and
more valuable articles, if he had not
heard a signal whistle sounded by sup
posed confederate in the crime, who hap
pened to see Mr.. Mckinley pass from the
tea table on the lower floor and across the
stairway leading to the second story. The
matter was placed in the hands of detec-
tives, but no arrests had been made up to

THE NOISY CALLIOPE.

1t Drops a Spark that Fires Bale of
Cotton.
Some commotion was caused in the vi
cinity of Bay and Houston streets yester-
day when the circus was passing toward
East Broad street by the discovery Of
fire in bale of cotton that was lying in
the street in front of Messrs. j. S. Wood
& Bros warehouse. The fire was in i'm
minent danger of spreading to number
of adjacent bales, when they were quickly
rolled out of the way and the fire speedily
quenched. The damage was COMPARE
lively trifling, only the surface of the bale
being singed. The fire is supposed to have
been originated by a spark from the steam
calliope which brought up the rear of the
circuS DrOcpssiOn.

'sNORDECK."
The Play That is to be Presented at the
Theatre This Week.

The Play That is to be Presented at the
Theatre This Week.
The event at the theatre this week will
be "Nordeck," Mr.. Frank Mayo's new
play. There is no occasion to say any
thing about Mr.. Mayo. He is favorite
In every city of the South. His "Davy
Crockett has made him famous. In his
new play of F'Nordeck" he is as salts
factory as he is in "Davy Crockett"
The play of ''Nordeck," however, is much
superior to that of ''Davy Crockett" 1t is
a work of rugged beauty and genuine
dramatic power. The materials of which
it is composed are of a heroic, romantic
quality, the scenes depicted are by turns
stirring, passionate and tender, and in
the development of the leading characters
there is ample scope for acting of high
order, The interest in the play is sus-
tanned by the development of one of the
most powerful political intrigues which
has ever been presented with equal sue
''Richelieu" that can be said
to surpass in dramatic intensity the
sacred, the constant and the inviolable
ann of the tsPrincess Zulieslzi'' TO effect the
liberation of Poland. She is willing even
that the life of"W aldemar," her son should
be sacrificed to the success of the grand
intrigues IN which she becomes involved
if only the life of her faVorite son, ''LeO,"
be secured. 1t is rarely, indeed, that the
power to which woman can reach in
political affairs has been more powerfully
revealed than in the character of ''Walde-
mars" mother.
1t is doubtful if there will be anything
at the Theatre this winter that will ex-
coed "NOrdeckn In interest.

A SOUTH BROAD STREET EPISODE.

A BrOughton street Merchant Meets an
Alligator and Captures 1t.
About 10 O'Clock on Friday night Mr..
Mathews, of the firm of Mathews Bros,
No. 176 Congress street, while on his
way home Unexpectedly stepped upon the
tail of an alligator that was resting on the
pavement ON the north side of South
Broad street, between Bull and DraytOn
streets. The portion Of the sidewalk
where the alligator was encountered is
generally in a shadow at night, though
the electric light is quite bright on either
side, and Mr.. Matthews would have pass
ed on, believing that he had trOd
on a limb of tree,
had not his "'gatorship" begun to
founder about and to hiss and snap his
j avs. As soon as the gentleman ascer-
tanned hat the object was thing of life
and was spelling for fight, he made
careful inspection Of it, and, with the as
sistance of a passer-by, forced the alliga-
tor out into the light, when he was lassoed
and taken TO Mr.. Mobiles garden, corner
Bull and Hull streets.

PIatshek's Fall OpepIng.

The interest which is being manifested in
the approaching Presidential election has
prompted Mr.. Platshek, the well-known
dealer in millinery goods, No, 1SS Brough-

nected by wire with the Southern Tele-
graph Company's line, and to secure the
attendance of an operator to receive the
kilograms, announcing the election re-
turns. The messages, as fast as received.
will be bulletined on blackboard in front
of Mr.. Platshek's store, after 8 O'Clock at
night. The idea will doubtless be appre-
ciated by all who wish to learn the result
Of the voting, and especially by Mr.. Plat
shek's patrons, who are also anxiously
awaiting his grand fall opening Of MILL

the public has confidence in The gentle
