AT THE THEATER.
Frederick Warde's Splendid Perform
ance of "Gaston Cadol."


Frederick Warde played "Gaston Cadol'
last night before a ridiculously small audi
ence The bad weather alone kept the
people at home, for Warde is one of the
most popular tragedians that has ever Wis
tied Savannah. Castor Cadol' is in
every sense "A strong play, and the company
supporting Mr.. Warde is even stronger
than that with which he was surrounded
last year, and which won such high com
mendations wherever it appeared.
Miss Eugene Blair retains her position as
the leading juvenile lady, and has added
lat rels to her crown in the portrayal Of a
remarkably fine part in the new play. She
is beautiful woman and fine actress
Miss Maud Midgsly, recent acquisition
to the company, received warm praise for
her dramatic ability.
Clarence Handyside, for two years with
Robson q; Crane, is leading male support,
and l.. f. Rand, T, +. Garrick, Joseph A.
Ransome and Walter Edwards, all actors OF
repute, play the other principal parts,
Mr. Warde was received with more en-
thusiasm than any actor who has played
here this season. He was called before the
curtain at the end of every act, and not
only that, but he was recalled. At the end
of the fourth act he announced in few
graceful words his thanks for his cordial re-
ceptiVn.
"Gaston Cadoln Is a romantic drama of
the purest type, founded upon incidents in
the French revolution of 1892 and the STIR
ring incidents that characterized that
period in the struggle between the Bepubll-
cans and the Royalists in La Nendee. The
story is replete with interest from the rise of
the curtain to its fall in the last act and
! furnishes a series Of bright and picturesque
tableaux that delight the eye and charm the
Imagination As the hero Mr.. Warde APP
pears first as q peasant and afterward as a
Colonel in the Republican army, and his
strong and handsome face, manly bearing
and graceful acting won the immediate
sympathy of the audience, which he sus-
tanned with an earnestness and dignity that
gained constant recognition.
Mr.. Handyside as "Laudrol," the stern
Republican, sustained his pare with
Mr.. J. A. Ransome's bright and clever
performance of the comedy role
of Corp Pradeau," added much to the en-
joyment of the play. Miss Eugene Blair, as
the proud Countess Therese, made beau-
tiful touching picture of womanly devotion,
her simple. yet charming costumes being
much admired by tho ladies. Miss Midgsly, as
Natalie the Nivandiere,n was piquant and
pretty and shared with Mr.. Ransome the
comedy honors. The costumes were bright
and characteristic of the period, the
auxiiaries numerous and the entire
representation of the play a most
emphatic success.
On account of the enthusiastic man
ner in which it was received last night,
it will be repeated at the matinee
to-day. Tonight Mr.. Warde will play
"Brutus, or The Fall of Tarquin,n i'll which
he has achieved great Success

FISH DEALERS SHOW FIGHT.
They Refuse to Pay for Cleaning the
Market Stalls

Iney heluSe 10 ray LOT Cleaning Jne
Market Stalls.
The market fish dealers are in fight with
the City Council A sum of 25c day. and
SOC. on Saturdays has been demanded of
them as a cleaning fee, and six dealers re-
fused to pay it. They were put on the po-
lice docket, and the case came before the
Mayor yesterday morning He has post
poned the matter for future hearing, and
il is more than probable that the fish deal
ers have the best of the fight.
The dealers say that they pay $l35 a year
for stall, $40 specific tax for carrying on
the business, and now this extra demand of
25c day for cleaning the stalls is more
than they can stand. They say that they
have never been called upon to pay it be
fore, and that there is no ordinance pro-
viding for it in the city statutes.
As to the tax never having been levied
before. there is a conflict of statement be-
tween the city authorities and the fish deal
ers The former say that it has been levied
except during the latter part of the term of
Market Clerk Boardman, and the dealers
I natly contradict IT, Alderman Reid, Chair
man Of the Market Committee, stated YES
terday that when MS committee went into
Office last year. it refrained from an enforce
luent of the tax, on account of petition of
the fish dealers pending in Council
Authority Tor Uhe COLLECTION OF the tax is
derived from an ordinance providing for q
specific tax upon the sale of each article that
dealers in the market sell TO collect this
tax would have required an extraordinary
effort on the part of the Market Clerk to
keep track of each item, and in order
to simplify the law and make it easier
to all hands, it was decided
that the tax of pc. a day and 5Oc. for
| Saturdays should be levied as the cleaning
tax. All dealers in the Market paid it last
| year but the fish dealers, and this year the
! butchers complained, SO the Clerk of the
| Market was notified to collect the tax or
! put the dealers ou the docket. This was
done, Alderman Reid says, to decide the
| qestion Of the right TO collect the tax and
| be done with it,
City Attorney Adams says that he is I'M
able TO find any ordinance that exacts this
| cleaning tax, and if it is meant as an en-
! forcement of the specific tax above alluded
to, the action to collect the fee will proba-
bly, have TO be brought in a civil suit of
the city against the fish dealers, and the
case is not penal one for the Mayor to
| decide

AUGUSTUS NEW STEAMER.
The Progress Arrives on Her First
Trip-A Fine Boat.

The Progress Arrives on Her First
Trip-A Fine Boat.
The new Augusta steamer Progress ar
rived early yesterday morning with zoo
bales of cotton. 1t was the steamers first
trip and she made it without incident. The
boat is sister of the Advance, which was
recently built in Augusta and was the
pioneer vessel of the Augustus Steamboat
Company's feet.
The Progress is one of the lightest, if not
the lightest draught boat ever seen on the
river. She is even lighter than the Swan,
which piled between here and Augusta for
so many years, and was famed among river
men for sitting lightly on the water. Her
tonnage is 40 96-l00 gross, and net $40 46-
100 She has eight state-rooms with accom-
modations for thirty passengers.
The boat is well Differed Capt. Alec
Cabaniss is an old river man, and, in the
language of one who knows whereof he
speaks, there is none better" Mr.. f. F.
Daniels, son of Capt. Daniels, the mate of the
Advance, is the mate of the Progress. He
has inherited his fathers tastes, and,
through years of experience on the deck,
will be an able lieutenant to Capt. Caban-
ISIS The way he can hustle crew about
is good evidence that he has had plenty of
that sort of thing to do. The new boat lay
at her wharf all yesterday, and she was
inspected by crowds of river people.

TELFAIR ACADEMY.

The Free Day Suggestion Approved.
SAVANNAH, GA, Feb. 3-Editor Morn
ing NelUs: In your last Sundays issue
l read with much interest your article
bearing upon the suggestion, to the direc-
tors of the Tefair Academy, to solicit from
our citizens the loan of pictures for exhibit
bition at the academy during the Jasper
festivities. That suggestion was an ad-
mirable one / hone it did not escape the
attention of the directors, and trust they
will not fail to act favorably upon it,
There are | believe, many families in Sa-
vannah that would be only too glad to loan
their paintings and thus increase the at
fractions of that fine temple of arts. In
connection with this subject permit me to
say a word in favor of opening
the academy to the public once a
week free from any charge 1t is true
the present admission fee is reasonable
enough. but to many it counts for something,
and undoubtedly deters them from enjoying
the benefits which the founder of that noble
institution intended to extend to the entire
community of our city and its neiehboring
holiday, would be the most appropriate day
for free day. Many engaged during the
week will avail themselves of the opportu
nifty, if granted, and spend few hours at
the academy with much benefit to them
selves. This suggestion thai our citizens
may have free access to the academy once
a week will, hope, meet with favor from
It's directors. c. MENELAS.

solid gold setting; also money and many
other articles of less value. Every can con
tains a souvenir. The Coffee, can and CON

can and contents about one and one-halt
pounds. This expensive and novel way Of
advertising will be discontinued after thirty
days and these really choice goods Will he
sold strictly ON their merits, but with

purchaser must not expect to get
a diamond or watch. This company
claim that they have just as good right to

have to give away glassware, chromos, etc.

ALMOST A WRECK.
Thrilling Voyage Of the Austrian Brig
Va

Tho Austrian brig Va, Capt. Than, ar
rived up from quarantine last night, having
put in there few days ago in distress,
Capt. Than left Kingston, Jamaica,
bound for Trieste on Jan. 10 with cargo OF
/ coffee, rum and logwood After clearing
the harbor he was obliged TO anchor the
very same day on account of a calm.
| There was very heavy sea
! running, and the brig was anchored
between Portland bay and Kingston with
seventy-five fathOms Of chain out to each
| anchor, which was barely strong enough TO
keep her from driving ashore. She remained
at anchor fully ten days, during which time
| the vessel labored heavily in the rough sea
and was very much strained Shortly alter
ward she began leaking. The next day
! light breeze sprang up from the
| land when she again squared away for sea-
| The Captain tried TO pass to the northward
| of Jan aica, but could not do so on account
of the strong trade wind All this time the
sea was very heavy. The vessel was then
leaking badly. The wind kept constantly
| increasing and the Captain was obliged to
change the course of the vessel to the lee
side of Jamaica and go around
the Island OF Cuba. He was
four DAYS without being able to make any
| astronomical observations. When he
brought up off Bahia Honda, north side Of
Cuba, a severe gale was prevailing, with
the wind from the north. He was then
almost on the breakers off Bahia Honda.
On Jan. 10 he consulted with the officers
and crew and concluded to put
on double rigging and sail
to enable the vessel to get clear of the coast.
The brig was then put on the starboard
tack. All this time the gale was blowing
from the north The Captain was next
compelled to jettison his deck load of log
and bitter wood and all movable articles.
The yards were broken, tearing up the
rigging and the vessels sails were lost. The
Captain was compelled to cut away the dam
aged rigging to avoid further damage
from the broken Spars.
After twenty hours he got free of the
coast, when sail was taken in. The gale
lasted thirty-six hours. The pumps were
sounded and found to be choked with the
swelling coffee. There was then about -
feet of water in the hold. and the vessel was
leaking so rapidly that it was decided
to make the nearest port. The
Captain bore up for Tybee, arriv-
ing in the roads Wednesday night. The
crew were pretty well exhausted by their
labors at the pumps. A survey will be
called to-day, and it is very likely that the
vessel will have to discharge and haul out
on the marine railway.
