SIGNED FOR The SEASON.
Three Countrymen Who Wanted to
Join the "Nine."

Ihree Countrymen Who Wanted to
Join the "Nine."
Three young countrymen who have
been taking in the city for the past two
days have been source of great amuse-
ment to a number of young men. On
Monday afternoon a young man named
Applegarth introduced himself to some
young men in the Marsh II House billiard
room. They thought that they could
have some fun and proposed TO engage
the stranger as a ball player ON the
Savannah nine for next season.
Applegarth was offered $75 month
and he said he would accept, although be
admitted that he was not u tIp-top player.
He stated that be had friend whom he
thought would like to sign tor the season,
In an hour or two Applegarth returned
with another young man whom he intro
duced as Brannon. The jOkers told the
two that they would have to give
an exhibition OF their speed.
Applegarth and Brannon consented, and
taking off their shoes raced up and down
Broughton street on the asphalt pave
ment. Yesterday morning they were in
duCed to sign curious paper purporting
TO be a contract. Eacn one signed his
own name and also the name of nearly
every member of their families, which
tue lOkers salu was necessary 10 make
the paper binding.
After the contracts were signed the
victims were taken out to the base ball
park for practice and instruction in the
rules of ball playing. One rule was that
the player must salute the umpire at
every base, and every time the country
men made base they took off their hats
to the umpire. They were put through a
ridiculous exhibition and last night were
taken In charge again and shown the
town by gas light.

TIE AsPHALr PAVEMENT.
The Way in Which it Has Improved
BroughtOn Street.

The Way in Which il Has Improved
Broughton Street.
The asphalt pavement on Brough-
ton street IS daily increasing the
travel on that thoroughfare. Much Of
the heavy hauling, such as cotton and
lumber, which was formerly done on Bay
street, is now through Broughton street.
AT all hours OF the day that magnificent
thoroughfare presents lively appear
ance.
An effort, which has met with some sue
cess, is being made to have the asphalt
paving continued TO Habersham street
Not enough property owners, however,
have, as yet, consented TO the assessment.
Mr.. Luke Carson, who mas interested him
self IN this mpch needed public improve
ment, hopes eventually to have il done.
The paving of Brou hton street with
asphalt has made such a decided i'm
prOvement in that street Tor business
purposes that it Las become an absolute
necessity for the owners OF property on
Congress street, between Bull and Jef'er-
son, and those on Viii aker between Bay
and BroughtOn streets to have these
streets paved with asphalt If they do not
wish their properties to be deprecated.
1t will be well for those interested 10 look
into this matter before it is too late.
n pavement through Liberty street on
one side Of the row OF trees, and the ex-
tension OF the Whitaker street pavement
TO New Houston street, are among the
improvements now under consideration
by the city. The paving of New HOus-
ton street from Drayton to West Broad,
and West Broad street from Stone to An
dersOn streets, is also being considered.
This work IS absolutely necessary in
order that the fire apparatus can get to
fires in the southern part of the city
promptly,

King, Burk a. Co.'sshows.

The King, Burk g. Co. circus showed to
crowded houses yesterday and last night.
The performance is better than that in the
average 50c. circus, and outside of the
horseback riding there is every.
thing that is usually given In
the larger shows. The specially
acts in trapeze, on horizontal wire and in
the ring are tirst-class. The trapeze per-
tormance OF George Scott, the Melville
Brothers In their tumbling and specially
acts, the trick horses and mules, the
trained dogs, the clown, and in fact the
entire show, are up 10 the standard. Tits
without doubt he best 10c. show that has
ever visited Savannah. It's well managed
and its patrons are well looked after.

AT THE THEATRE.
Kate Forsyth In "F .ithful Hearts" To.
Night.

NiRnt.
Clinton Stuart's new society drama.
"Faithful Hearts," will be produced for
the first time in Savannah tonight by
Miss Kate Forsyth. The play ia highly
indorsed. 1t recalls the plot OF the aver
age French novel of the modern school.
but the denouement has the surprise in
store of a healthy and unequivOcal
moral. The Charleston News and Courier
says of Miss Forsyth: Miss Kate For
syth appeared as "MadelIne," the central
figure Of the play. She appears frequently
during the action OF the drama and fur
nished full opportunity for observing her
methods. She is, to say the least, "a con-
scientious interpreter OF her role, and in
some OF her passages rises to the Dig
nifty Of a true and sympathetic artist.
There was something tender, true and
Inexpressibly sweet in her manner, GEES
ture and expression in the parting scene
at the close of the second act, and again
in the climax OF the play in the fourth
act she acted with undOubted talent and
ability. Miss Forsyth is not an actress
Of the first rank, but she Is one VINO will
please any but a too critical audience.
The sale OF re- erved seats be- an yester-
day morning and indicates good house
on opening night. Miss Forsyth will ap.
pear tomorrow night In "Marcelle."
