AT TIE THEATRE.
Ada Gray's "Hortense''-The" Mikado"
Tonight.

Ada Gray's "Hortense"-The" Mikado"
Tonight.
The new drama "Hortense," by A. L.
Chapman, was witnessed by a small house
last night. Miss Ada Gray appeared in
the leading part and had a fair support.
Messrs. Chapman and Heritage in the
respective parts Of "Clarence Winthrop"
and "Charles Stanley" were better than
the average.
The plot is based upon the machina-
lions Of an adventures, who comes be-
tween a husband and wife and tor a time
causes much misery.
The scene is laid In the Catskill noun
tains. The play and the performance are
mediocre.
Tonight Gilbert and Sulliyan's famous
and newest opera "The MikadO" will be
produced. The play is whimsical, the hum.
or subtle, and the music like that OF all pro-
ductions of Sir Arthur Sullivan, ia bright.
crisp and pretty. The company is good
one, and includes large chorus. Ine
Japanese costumes are novel, and one
great excellence OF the performance is It's
originality. Scarcely was the opera
completed before enterprising managers,
who quickly recognized that the piece
would be popular, were after II.
ne aQhuOTb bOlQ III 10 DOyley AafLe,

men5ely in London from the first. In
order to get royalties from any parties
producing the opera, Carte caused MIR.
Tracy, a musician Of Boston, TO 70 to
England and arrange piano score OF the
play, which he caused 10 be copyrighted
IN this country, believing that would in
sure his opera immunity from the Ameri-
can players. The score arranged by
Tracy was no alteration Of the original
notes or harmOnies, but simply a transfer
from the orchestral to the piano score. In
the meantime buff, of the Standard
Theatre, New York, got hold OF "The
Mikado' and started 1t on a run in that
city. Carte at once applied 70 Judge
Wallace, of the United States District
Court, for an injunction against Duff.
Pending the decision Duff was required to
put up bonus OF $4,000 and allowed TO
continue the opera. Judge Wallace finally
refused the injunction on the ground that
there was no international copyright law.
The result is that the opera is now being
played by an American and an English
company and is having phenomenal run
especially at the Fifth avenue theatre, New
York, where people are turned away
nightly.

UNDERGROUND WIRES.
Description of the Plans Adopted by the
Western Union in Philadelphia.
From the phNn9elnhfa Tg,nss.

From the Philadelphia Times.
-Four carloads of supplies for the Under
ground telegraph system of the Western
Union Telegraph company arrived ia this
city yesterday, and tomorrow large as
sortment of rubber-insulated copper wire.
imported from England, will get here. The
WORK of digging the trench along Chestnut
street from Twenty-second street to the
Delaware will begin as soon as the ordI-
nance granting permission to lay the
cables is passed by Councils. The plan
for laying the trunk line Of wires is en-
tirely new, and is somewhat in the nature
of an experiment. Manager Gill said
yesterday that the proposition to lay the
wires along the Market street cable con-
duit had been abandoned because of the
inconvenience of the plan and lack of
room.
Beginning near the Chestnut street
bridge. a trench will be opened to below
the level Of the street pipes. and in this
conduit pipes four inches on the inside
diameter will be laid. The ends will be
cemented water-tight, and stout cable
will be allowed TO remain in the line.
The pipes will be Of iron and yitritied
terra-cotta. OF the latter $500 feet only
viii be put down at present, all of it
being assigned to the western end of the
line. The use OF this pipe is an ex-
pertinent. 1t is in four-feet
lengths, and will be Joined with
Portland cement. The iron pipe will
complete the trunk line, its use being en-
ployed because of the frequent disturb
ance Of the earth on Chestnut street
along the business portion. The street
Will be opened and filed a square at
time. The cable will consist of sixty
ru0ber-coyered English copper wires,
costing 500 mile. These wires Will be
twisted on the ground into three and half
@inch cables, and be drawn through the
pipes by means Of the cable before men,
toned. -Four parallel lines of pipes,
each containing sixty wires. or $40 in ali,
viii be buried in the trench. Besides
these there win be other pipes containing
the wires Of the Philadelphia Bell Tele-
trench. Tits probable that the telephone
company will have Six pines, with 800
wires.

DIR. l.. W. mUNHALL.
His Evang elistic Meetings to Begin sun
day After Next.

Editor Morning NeUs: Sunday after
next, Oct. Is, Dr. Munhall be-
gins the long talked-of eyangelistic
meetings in the Independent church A
writer in the Times of oct. speaks
prophetically Of an Unprecedented relig-
ious upheayal when DR.. Munhall comes
But, as a matter of fact, he does not
know about that, though by many of US
it is "a cOnsummation devoutly to be
wished"
Some time ago, while was out of the
city, a gentleman, telling me of the
recent storm, said that many of the
churches were greatly shaken. Ii turned
out that this was not so. However, ]
could not help replying: "Well, il that is
80 the Lord was in the wind" 1t will
take something beyond the power Of Dr.
Munhall or DR.. anybody, 10 upheave first
Of all the churches, to say nothing of nom
church gOers. We must look beyond the
man to God, and pray nightly
20 the Spirit to bless the preaching as He
blessed the preaching OF Peter at Pente-
cost. Many in our city are looking for
ward 20 the coming of the evangelist, an
ticpating great blessings. But if they
are to be realized, there must be not only
earnest prayer, but earnest and united
work.
When in Atlanta recently, asked sew
erai persons about DR.. Munhalps preach
ing, and his method of conducting meet
ings, and all spoke of him in highest
terms. Our peOp need not hesitate to
receive him, and cooperate with him
heartily.
The writer, San Anxious One" in the
Times, is not strictly correct when he
says that Roman Catholics and Episcopal

men, such as the Paulist Fathers, who go
from place to place holding omissions"

held their meetings in Savannah, And
as matter of fact Episc0palians
do believe in evangelistic meetings A
lew years ago the Rev. Mr.. Rainsford,

held eyangelistic meetings in Toronto,
and other Canadian cities, and in New
York, Louisville, Richmond. and else
where, in this country. DR.. Tying fire.

an Episcopalian clergyman was chairman
OF the Minister'S Meeting that invited
Moody there not long ago. Now, the fact
is, that some good people in all the de.
nominations do not see their way clear to
have anything to do with such meet
ings or evangelists. And it is
wrong 10 co denim them for it,
just as it would be wrong for them to Of
fer any opposition to those who do believe
in such special meetings iudiciously con-
Quoted as believe they Will be on this
occasion in Savannah.
One word more. II is the agreement on
the part Of the cooperating churches
Methodist, Baptist and Presbyterian
TO have no night services during the con-
tinusnce OF these meetings. Or. Munhall
is to open the meeting on Monday night.

Capt ID. g. Purses Resign ation-The
New Head OF the Bank.

The announcement IN yesterdays paper
that Capt. D. G. Purse had resigned the
presidency OF the Savannah Bank and
Trust company caused much surprise.
The fact that Mr.. Purse was experiencing
some trouble in his personal affairs had
been rumOred among business men for
several DAYS, but It was not supposed to
be as serious az 10 turned out to be. The
bank, however, was not affected by the
misfOrtunes Of its president, and every
thing went on az usual with il during the
dav.
The new president Of the bank, Joseph
y. Weed ESQ, is the head Of one Of the
Oldest, II not the oldest, business houses
in savannah, that OF Weed & Cornwell,
coffee and iron merchants. Mr.. Weed is
a man OF strict business habits and OF
large wealth His taking charge Of the
bank gave confidence TO everyone, il there
had been q lack Of confidence, aud il was
understood that the bank was not only
able to take care of itself, but it also
had the backing Of the other banking in
situations of the city.
Capt Purses resignation as President
was before the Board OF Directors for sew
efal days, but was only accepted late on
Monday afternoon at his earnest solcita-
ton. Capt. Purses embarrassment ls not
public disaster. Business Investments
which were not profitable compelled him
to dispose Of his property to pro-
tect MIA friends. by this action
no one loses anything. In fact,
Capt Purse had no small creditors. His
business only related to two or three
transactions. The disaster which has
overtaken Capt. Purse is one in which be
will have the sympathy OF the entire COM
munity He is an energetic, publlc-spir-
tied citizen, who has always been lore
most in advancing the prosperity Of Sa-
yanuah. In his trouble be will have the
best wishes Of everyone for a speedy
recovery from his financial ditf 'ultles.

"DEAR SIR:--The party which was sc.

received with the intelligence that the
Queen had gone a thirty-mile drive to the

to the servants bedrooms to take OF their

whatever, was made for their comfort or
