TIE rHlEYEs KEEP BUSY

Plumber the Beds of the Bedding.
TIE depredatiOns that have been going
on in the southern suburbs Of the city
the work of the thieving gangs that have
been operating for the past month or more
were supplemented by another robbery
last night at the house of Mrs. Kreiger,
90 Second and DraytOn streets. While
the family was in the sitting room after
supper the thieves, who had evidently
been waiting an opportunity TO begin
their work when the household was where
it would not be likely to disturb their
operations, climbed up the pillars support
ing back porch to the second story and
entering through the windows, ransacked
the entire upper part of the house, taking
what bedding they could carry, even to
the pillow cases and shams, new suit OF
clothes belonging to one of Mrs. krieger's
sons, and a number of smaller articles
from the bureaus and dressing cases,
amounting in value to upwards OF 500,
and escaped with their plumber the same
way they entered. The robbery was not
discovered until late in the evening, when
one of the members of the household went
up stairs and found the rooms plllaged.
Tracks were discovered in the back yard,
showing that there was more than
one concerned in the al
fair. There were marks on
the window castings and on the pillars
showing where they had climbed up.
An effort was made to trace the thieves,
bat without success, and not the first
clue to their whereabouts could be OBJ

The Effect of the Freeze on the Vegeta-
BILE Gardens-The Damage not yet
known.
The cold wave that struck Savannah on
Tuesday night was severely felt yes
terday. The thermometer at the Signal
station Indicated % degrees at 6 O'Clock.
Ice a quarter of an inch thick formed on
still water and on buckets left filed over
night. In several instances, exposed wa
ter pipes burst and flooded the houses.
The freeze was very severe In the
neighborhoOd of the city, and consIdera-
BILE damage was done to the truck farms.
Early peas and cabbages were seriously
injured. but as the ground did not thaw
out yesterday the extent of the damage
could not be ascertained. These vege-
tables are abOnt the only ones far
enough advanced to suffer from
cold or frost. Peas are two or three
inches high on most Of the farms, and
cabbages have been set out and are just
beginning to grow.
Mr.. F. A. Exley has several acres of
peas in an advanced stage. He thinks
they have been seriously injured
but cannot tell to what extent until the
sun thaws the ground. He believes his
cabbage is not injured.
4AdJs n L. AAhA u III AZ A'CouAASOs SeNAN
that when he left his home yesterday
morning peas looked as though they had
suffered material injury, and he thought
the damage would prove serious.
At DR.. Reads place, on the Louisville
road, peas have been boldly damaged.
The gardens east of the city on the Thun-
derbolt road have also suffered consider
ably.
The cold wave appears to be general

BILE scope of farming territory, and the
injury will no doubt amount to large
sum, and many fields will have to be re.

she has been given such re-

Endorsement. The mere announcement
of her appearance is all that is necessary

written for her. is said By critics TO par
take of the general eccentricity that be-
Longs % comedy, and To be throughout
very amusing. To tell its incidents would
be difficult task, as the eccentriclties
follow each other with such rapidlty,
holding the audience in constant laughter,
that the iOviality Of each as 1t rolls by at
tracts the mind and carries 1t away from
the preceding one which is forgotten.
They are like the bubbles that float on the
vanishing current Of some rapid brook.
Those who have seen Aimee in her old
Operettas, IN which she infused by her
talent as a singer such worlds Of humor
and sparkling fun, may feel some appre-
heusiOn for her success in English speak

has met with remarkable success. The
music she has made famous is retained in
