A slight 1IisiAi1e.

EGitor Of the NorNing Nccs: | noticed
in the Tunes a statement that the point
on which the MORNING NEWS urged the
passage OF the Dart bill last August was
not that decided by the supreme Court
on Tuesday in the case Of Wright VS..
Lake, but another, to-wit.: that ~ vessel
might come into port without having laid
eyes on pilot, and yet, after she got in,
II any pilot went aboard OF her anG offered
to take her out, the master was to be
forced to pay him outward pilOtaCe fees
whether his services were aYailed of or
not"
think the statement of the Times is in
correct. L quote from the first article of
the MORNING NEWS on the pilots bill as
follows:
"The law says that the pilot who brings
vessel into port shall nave the exclu-
sive right to take her out. Those vessels
which propose to evade payment Of pilot
age refuse pilot, and are brought to the
city by steam-tug. They pay the inward
pilOtage, but they refuse to pay the out
ward fees on the ground that not having
been brought in by pilot there is no pilot
who, under the law, mas the right to take
them out. AS can be readily seen, the
pilots are deprived of their fees from out
ward bound vessels on a mere techuicah-
ty. Their bill provides for such an amend.
ment OF the law as will give them, in
their calling, the protection to which they
are entitled, ahd viii insure them the
ices which they ought to have, and whicn
the trainers Of the law doubtless intended
they should have"
Doesn't this quotation show what the
MORNING News advocated? And doesn't
it show that the MORNING NEWS advo-
Gated just what the Supreme Court in
Wright vs.. Lake says the pilots ought to
have? There is no occasion for furthe r
comment.

When Burrows sat down TO tea, his wife

AT THE THEATRE.
JaniSh in SardOus princess Andrea
a Brilliant Actress.


Madame Janish made her first appear
anoe before Savannah audience last
night. TIE Theatre was well filed. The
play was sardou's princess Andrea"
with Janish in the title role. The plot OF
lhe play ls taken from modern French life.
The scenes expose some Of the f0tbles and
weaknesses OF high Life, which are not
criminal merely because tnev are the
fashion. Inc princess Audrea" d young
wife, IS in such society but she does not be-
long TO It,. She is tile impersonation in
me play OF Womanly tenderness, love and
innocence, as yet uncOntaminated by the
freedom and laXity of the society in which
she is TO move. At The threshold Of her
married life she discovers the taithless-
ness OF her husband, and the object of her
lie, ner sole motive, is to win him back TO
her love.
1t was in such role rs this that the
Countess appeared. 1t was a role difficult
Of portrayal, but it did not seem 50 to
Janlsn, who enacted il with cOnsummate
grace. she proved herself an actress Of
great power. Her foreign accent does
not prevent the understanding OF her
words. 1t rather adds 2 charm to her
rlch and purely mOdulated voice. Her re-
ception by the audience was most gener-
Gus and appreciatiye.
The play is in six acts. Al the end OF
every act IN which the star appeared sne
was recalled. The interest in the play
does not reach climax until the fourth
act. The situations IN this act gave free
play to the passion Of love aud the
anguish Of despair. The act
ing Of Janish is marked by
dignity and cOnscientiousnese. Her ap-
probation OF the requirements OF the part
are SO tue that she paints the character
with finish and faithfulness almost
unsurpassaole. Her wonderful power
was, perhaps, best exhibited in the sharp
and sudden change from the wlics Of in
noceGt coquetry to the expression Of a
pathetic despair almost tragic in Its IL
tenslty. Every detail 0 fac al tx precision
and mOdutatioR of voice belonging TO the
character seemed spontaneous and not the
result Of study. The supporting company
Is good. Mr.. John c. Fre4Bd as the sNar-
quis de la Richandiere" is very clever.
The comedian, Mr. John G.. Mcdonald,
was repeatedly applauded.
The play will be repeated this afternoon,
and the company will close its engage
ment tonight,
