COLD WAVE GETS LOST.

The Prediction "Justifies," But the
Wave Don't Stay Long.
The cold wave, which has been moving
across the country for the past few days,
reached Savannah yesterday morning. The
fall III temperature here in eighteen hours
was 3O'-from So to 39'. While this fall
Justifies the c Id wave signal the temper
allure did not 90 as low as was predicted by
the local office. The rapid movement Of
the high pressure area to the northeast
prevented the temperature from failing
lower. Yesterday morning the cold wave
was central over New York, and by last
night there had been rise Of 20 or more
throughout that region. The barometer
had fallen from 80 Is inches to 3S.2S inches
IN fifteen hours.
Snow and rain are falling in New En-
gland, New York and in the Ohio valley.
Last nights reports show the temperature
in the West and Northwest to have fallen
slightly during the day, and the weather
still remains very cold in that region. An
area of high pressure made its appearance
last night over Kansas and Nebraska and
will have a tendency to cause colder
weather. Signal Observer Hammer said last
night that the weather here to-day will be
far and slightly colder.
Although the last cold wave prediction
Justified the Signal Officer at Washing
ton has been unfortunate with several
recent predictions for this section. The
wave would start all right from the North
west, and maybe it would get down to Kan
sas and firt with the people awhile, then
maybe it would coquette awhile with St.
Louis and probably get mashed ON Cincn-
natl, and break all up, never Whit getting
to the coast. This time, however, the chief
'predictor" had better success and got it
pretty near right.

We have been so busy with our holiday
trade that we haye quite neglected our
Florence Heaters We wish to explain that
they differ from most officiating stoves, as
they have a removable heating drum, and
the stove can be used for cooking purposes,
and will be useful both in summer and win
ter. Again, the prices are lower. We have
certificates from well-known citizens in
dorsing our little 81 Stove as sufficient to
heat bath room comfortably. Our So 75

BOOTH AND BARRETT
At the Theatre Tonight Booth as
"Iago" and Barrett as "Othello.'

At the Theatre Tonight Booth as
"Iago" and Barrett as "Othello.'
The greatest event in theatrical circles in
Savannah is the expected appearance of
Booth and Barrett tonight in 'Othello'
All of the Booths have been more or less
identified with the history of the drama
and the name is very familiar
one here. Mr.. Edwin Booths last appear
ance here was nine years ago, when he
played Hamlet Such is his reputation
that were he the only star tonight,
the house would be crowded; but as Mr.
Barrett is also n favOrite here, has over
and over again visited Savannah in the last
ten or fifteen years and he always drew
well. He has gifts and graces which recon-
mend him to the theatre going public every
where.
SO Booth and Barrett come with many
friends TO receive them. They played in
Baltimore all of last week and did an extra
ordinary business. They viii arrive here
this forenoon from Charleston in their
special car, in which they live.
They are assured crowded and
fashionable audience--a house that
win pay the management an unusual sum
of money, and it is expected that all in the
company will do their utmost TO present
"Othello" in the best possible manner.
Mr. Booth personates the crafty and in
snuating "Iago," part in which he has
achieved great distinction-perhaps where
acute critics are the judges, greater than
in any other one charaCter-while Mr. Bar
rett has the ttle-rOle, and becomes the
jealous Moor. 1t has been stated that at
the beginning of their engagement Booth
and Barrett alternated in these two charac-
tiers, but that finally Booth accepted "lago'
as best suited TO him.
Mr. Lawrence Hanley. who plays "Lodo-
VICE. will reach hee from Charleston on
the fast mail this morning. The Baltimore
Hcr0fd, in a resume Of the weeks engage
ment Of Booth and Barrett in Baltimore,
SAYS of Mr., Hanley that he will in time
gain a place in the first rank of American
actors. Even youth and but limited stage
experience does not now prevent this hand
some Southerner from creating All excellent
impression in the first really important
work of his stage career. Mr. Hanley has
a minor part in "Othello," but the people
will watch him in it

A col respondent writing TO the MORNING
NEWS from Quebec, Canada, calls attention
TO the fact that in the notice of the ami
versaly of that veteran organization, the
German Volunteers, which appeared in the
issue of Jan. 10. il was stated that there
were two Captains of the company during
the late war, namely Capt Werner and
Capt. Umbach, when the fact is that there
were three. The third was Capt. John H.
Stegin, who commanded the Volunteers
during the early years Of the war, and at
the siege of Fort Pulaski. The MORNING
News Cheerfuily makes the correction. The
old veteran is not forgotten by older Savan-
nahians. He was not only good soldier
hut respected and worthy clifton. 1t is
difficult for the present generation Of men,
the most Of whom We're boys during the
war or were born during that time or
since, to know all about the events during
those days that tried mems uls.

The attention of the City Court was given
yesterday to the suit of Mack Jones, a

out the barrel until Jones gave the
order. Jones claimed to be permanently
disabled by the loss of his thumb, which
had to be amputated. Before he lost his
thumb he earned 81 50a day, He brought
action for damages in the amount of s., 900.
