played on the stands. 1t is Of reddish
yellow color, aud some are as large as

sImmOn, although it is sweeter ana more
palatRble. This season is the first time
the iruit has made it's appearance here.
The fruit men say it is selling well, and is
becoming quite popular. The variety
now in the market comes from South
Florida, but il can be grown anywhere In
that state, or in the southern part OF
Georgia. The tree ON which 1t grows is
similar in appearance to tue familiar tree
OF this country, only 1t is considerably
smaller aud its leaves are some what
larger than those OF the other.

SEEKING THE SOUTH.
Settlers and lnvalids Swelling the
Passenger Lists.


The railroad and steamship passenger
Traffic has recently taken a squirt and all
the lines report good business. The hotels
have as result experienced an increase
in business and the registers are rapidly
filling up.
The last Boston ship brought 30 passen-
gers and the New York steamer had over
lO0. tuesday morning the Savannah,
Florida and Western railway carried
out 10 through passengers for points
In South Georgia, Florida aud Cuba.
The Baltimore, Boston and New York
steamers brought in the most of that
NUMBER. hany OF them were residents OF
Florida returning from trip North. 9th
ers were new settlers coming South. A
rev lnVallds were in the number. Boston
has had cold snap already, and the
early rlsers few mornings ago found ice
in the cutters. That will start the invalid
migration, and the weak-lunged who are
able to spend the winter in the South will
not lose much time in getting here. The
tourists, however, who come down for the
season and stop at the high-priced hotels
and pay princely bills will not be along
in numbers for several weeks vet.
A railroad man from Jacksonville, who
was in the city yesterday, said that the
travel through his city is quite brisk.
Inc steamship companies here say that
the increased traffic has come at about
the usual time. Last winters business,
while good, was not as heavy as was eX-
pected before the season opened, and the
representatives of the different com panies
are cautious IN predicting the coming
winters business. All, however. look tor
a better traffic than last year. 1t is not
thought that last winters freeze will de-
ter many from coming South this winter,
for be 1T ever so cold here it is sure to be
far more bitterly cold In the North.
Each year the West and Northwest
send more visitors South. Chicago. St.
Louie, st. Paul, Minneapolis and all of
the other places in the Northwest are too
cold in winter for hundreds of citizens
who do not like the prospect of being
blocked up for fortnight ut a time. Con-
sequently, the well-to-do fee before the
blizzard and help fill the large hotels and
boarding houses of South Georgia and
Florida.

The knights at the Theatrc-A Sa-
vaunah Favorite in the Cast.
A jingling, whimsical affair called
cover the Garden WalP' was produced
tor the first time at the Savannah Theatre
last night, and WAS a screaming hit. Mir.
and Mrs. George s. knight and party had
a good sized audience which was quickly
set to laughing, and then was kept
laughing through three acts, except when
the laughter was so violent that the tears
came. The play Is funny and the COM
pany is exceptionally good. In the cast
is Miss Minnie DuPree, a bright and
pretty sOubFette, quite we'll known in
Savannah as the soubrette of the Fords
the past season. Her first appearance on
the stage last night was greeted with
hearty ovation. The pretty liltle tavorlte
blushed, bowed and kissed ner thanks to
the audience from the tips OF her fingers.
In the second act she was presented by
the Fords with a basket Of beautiful
flowers and a floral horseshoe with an
anchor pendent from it.
Mr.. Knight has a capital German di8-
lect and his "Snitz" was very funny. Mrs.
knight, as "Nelle Wrangle,' Charlie
Frew as Moses Wrangle," and Miss Mel
lie Sanford, as Mrs. Betsey Snitz," were
all amusing. Miss DuPrees Rosa" was
charming, aud the 81. Felix sisters. with
their catchy songs and dances, decidedly
caught the house.
The piece is n succession OF laughs and
has been successful everywhere it has
been played. 1t Will be repeated tonight
and tomorrow night.

The steamer Ethel arrived yesterday
from Flat Ditch, the point up the river
at which she was sunk short time ago
She is in pretty good condition, not
much damage having been done to
either her hull or machinery. She
came down under her own steam
1t appears that in trying to turn a short
cut IN the river one of the skegs In the
stern was wrenched out, which left an
opening aud also caused the seams IN the
vessels stern to open and she filed and
sunk in short time. She will be thor
ou&hly overhauled and repaired aud will
be ready to resume her regular schedule
trips up the river by Tuesday next. The
steamer Alice Clark has been withdrawn
from the route so that the trips to Cohen's
