AT THE THEATER.
Efhs Ellsler's New Play, The Gov
erness," Striking Success.

6n9 EllSl0rs New ray me Gov
erness," Striking Success.
Fife ElIsler played 1.-THE Govsrness" last
night 1t is two years since Miss Ellsler
was in Savannah. Then she played
Woman Against Woman" which, next to
''Hazel Kirke," was acknowl edged to be
her strongest play. 1.-THE GoVerness, =
already success, is destined 10 be still
greater success even than it now is. The
plot is clever, the dialogue parts are bright
and at times sparkling, and the piece Is
always interesting.
Miss Elsler as THE Governessn received
an ovation. She is strongly supported by
Mr.. Frank Weston as Jarvis Coulter, /"
whose acting throughout is intelligent and
painstaking; Mr.. Orrin Johnson as Jack
Rogers" Mr.. John A. Ellsler, Miss Ellsler's
father, whose acting of the tramp at the
age of 65 years rivals that Of many a more
youthful man: Mr.. George Spragus as
''Segrist," Mr.. Robert Edeson as Jimmy
Needless" Miss Jessie Stewart as Mrs.
Hamilton Miss Lucille LaVerne as
"Chrissy," Miss Emma Butler as Helen"
and little 4-year-old Oracle Sherwood as
"Lenny."
In ''Zora, the Governess,n Miss Ellsler has
a sympathetic role. II is part seemingly
created for her, and one which she fills as
though its incidents were those of her own
life.
To-day Miss Ellsler will play "Merze, by
Frank Harvey, at the matinee, and tonight
she will appear in "Egyp5." "Merze" is a
role which allows ample opportunity for a
display OF those dainty, sprightly and
pretty ways so natural with the artistic,
aud which 80 quickly captivate an audience
aud hold ones sympathy. The story of the
play isa simple one, and the characters
people one meets every daY Thorough
naturalness pervades the piece. and it is
most cleverly constructed The dialogue
is delightfully."- written, and possesses the
charming novelty OF coming to an end be-
fore there is chance of its
growing wearisome. 1t is a
piece peculiarly adapted to Miss Ellsler's
style of acting, and is a happy matinee
play. Mr.. Weston appears in "Merze" as
a journalist, character in which it has
been said Of him that he is the only real
journalist that has ever been on the stage.
Miss Ellsler's company is an exceptionally
strong one. The plays are produced with
admirable scenic effects, and in q manner
that leaves little room for criticism. In the
company, besides Miss Ellsler and her hus-
band, Mr.. Weston, are her father, who,
forty years ago, was a partner
Of Joe Jefferson in the management of
stock companies in this city and in Charles
ton her brother w. G. Ellsler, who is
treasurer of the company. John Ellsler,
another brother, is the company's advance
representative.

Mr.. SULLIVAN RELEASED.
The Punta Gorda Fishery Question
Settled.

Inc HunCa GOrQa FISHERY question
Settled.
]. ]. Sullivan. who was arrested Friday
for conducting fishery in Punta Gorda.
Fla. while he was a resident of Georgia,
was tried yesterday and was released. His
partner, S. Arthur, was also released on
$1,000 bail MIR. III. N. Sullivan received a
telegram from his son yesterday afternoon,
and he is very much dissatisfied about e
manner in which ne was treated. The
Florida law, he says, prohibits anybody
except residents of the state from fishing in
Florida waters, and it may be held that the
help which was taken from here to Florida
viii be included In the prescribed list.
The fishery has been suspended and the
men are idle. In the trial Of young Sulli-
van the authorities decided that he was a
resident of the state and they had no case
against him. The father of the young man
said last night that the affair is resulting In
a heavy loss to him. Not a barrel of fish
has been received here since last week.
The men are afraid to 90 back TO work.

oven at a short distance, in which he
put his rice cakes to bake, and then
covered them with stones and grass
and went away. When he was goue tho
elephant with his trunk unfastened the
chain round his foot, went to the oven
and uncovered it, took out and ate the
cakes, recovered the oven with the
stones and grass AZ before and wet
back to his place. He could not fasten
the chain again round his own foot, 80
he twisted it round and round it, in
order to look the same, and when the
driver returned the elephant was stand
ing with his back to the oven. The
driver went TO his cakes, discovered tho
theft, and, looking round, caught the
elephants eye as he looked back over
his shoulder out OF the corner of it.
Instantly he detected the culprit, aud
condign punishment followed. The
whole occurrence Was Witnessed from
