OYSTERS COMING HIG DER.
The Price of the Juicy Bivalve Put u
by Sellers.


by Sellers.
There is some complaint on the part OF
the consumers in the city OF an increase in
the price Of oysters and dehciency In the
supply. 1t is also noticed that the number
of street oyster criers is not as large as
usual at this season Of the year:
This is generally laid 10 the taxing up or
the river lands by the oyster companies for
cultivation and canning purposes.
An inouiry yesterday among the oyster
/ dealers and consumers brought out variety
Of opinions on the subject. One oyster
dealer said that oysters are ABOUT ~ per
cent. higher just now than last season,
though he did not know that the present
prices win hold up. he sad that
on account of the warm weather OF
the last month oyster-gathering has not
been carried on TO any considerable extent
He thought about the usual supply would
be received in Savannah this season from
the oyster beds of Chatham county and
DaufuskIe and Sapelo. The two latter
places have furnished a great part of the
oyster supply OF Savannah Tor the last
several seasons.
A well-known restaurant man said he
was buying his oysters at 81 a
bushel, as usual, and had no diff
Guilty in securing all he wanted.
A citizen said, however, that the oyster
gatherers are charging him higher for
oysters for his table this season than ever
before. He has paid as high as 40 cents
quart for them. 1t was also said that the
demand made upon the oyster beds of
Chatham county for the last several seasons
had partially exhausted the natural beds
and that the exhaustion is continuing at
rapid rate, aud on this acoount the oyster
gatherers gave notice last season that the
price Of oysters would be increased this
season.
The Thuuderbolt oyster openers struck at
the beginning of the season for 20 cents
gallon for opening, an increase Of cents
ON what they had been resolving A stock
holder OF the Oemler Oyster Company said
that the company will not interfere with the
domestic supply in the least. but will obtain
all the oysters needed for canning purposes
in addition TO what it obtained from its own
beds from beds outside of Chatham county.
Putting everything together 1t appears
probable that lovers of the juicy bivalve
will have to pay somewhat higher price
this year or 60 without.

ORPHANS IN THEIR NEW HOME.

The Old Female Orphan Asylum Soon
to be Under a New Regime.
The Savannah Female Orphan Asylum
has completed its removal from its old
home at Bull aud Charlton streets to the
Wetter mansion on South Broad street.
The asylum building at Bull and Charl-
ton streets was built in 1898 for the orphan
asylum and has been occupied by it ever
since. The new home of the asylum is one
of the handsomest old houses in Savannah.
1t was formerly the Telfair
house and was later known
as the Wester mansion. In the parlor of
the house is one of the hendsomest marble
mantels 60 be found in Savannah. 1t must
have cost the owner a large sum when
bought years ago
The iron railing around the entire house
on both the first and second floors, with
over seventy bronze casts of all the noted
celebrities Of the world fifty years ago,
always attracts the attention of strangers
1t is estimated to have cost over $4,000.
| 1t is probable that an addition will be
made TO the building for the accommoda-
ton Of the inmates.
| There are now fifty-thres children in the
asylum, and they may be somewhat
crowded in their present quarters.
The work Of improving the old orphan
asylum property for the occupation of the
Savannah Volunteer Guards will soon be-

Dotson, the condemned murderer of jeff
Coates, asked a MORNING NEWS reporter
yesterday to deny the statement credited to
him at the time Of the hanging of Kitchen
that he didn't want new trial and was
anxious to be hanged at once.
Dotson doesn't want to be hanged at all
and would decline the distinction il il we're

"The hanging of Kitchen" said the con-
demued murderer, took an effect upon

it his duty to exhaust every legal means TO

TIE PASSING OF PARNELL
General Regret Rxpr essad by the Irish
of Savannah

The sudden death OF Charles Stewart
the principal topic of conversation among
the Irish and Irish-American residents of
Savannah yesterday.
Upto the time OF the disclosures OF the
darker side OF Mr.. Parnell's private life he
was the idol of the Irish people of this city,
but then many of those who had formerly
been his ardent admirers turaed against
him, and were as bitter in their denuncia-
ton as they had been before loud in his
praise. The majority, however, thought
his former patriotic sacrifices for the
elevation Of his countrymen should over
shadow his faults and still pinned their faith
in him. Many a warm discussion resulted
from this division of feeling in Savannah
for the past few months.
Mr.. Parnells death healed the differences,
and all joined in the general regrets at his
sudden taking of. The enemies Of the last
few months, remembering what the dead
leader had once done for his down-trodden
country, adopted the old proverb, "Speak
nothing i'll of the dead" The friends, on
the other hand, extolled Mr.. Parnell's noble
public qualities. and some of them went so
far as to say that it was the ingratitude of
his former followers which had hastehed
his death.
The general concensus of opinion is that
the death Of Parnell will result in the clos
ing OF the breach in the national party and
the election OF a leader acceptable to all. 1t
was remarked as a singular coincidence
that Sir William Henry Smith, the leader
OF the conservatives, NJ. Parnell, the leader
OF the Irish nationalists and Sir John Pooo
Hennessey, the man whose election was the
first crushing defeat received by Mr.. Par
nell. should all die within few hours of
each other

"Kajanka Presented to a Large Au-

The operatic spectacle, "Kajanka," was
witnessed by a large crowd last night. The
audience was pleased, if not enlightened.
The "Humpty Dumpty" plot OF the play
served as vehicle for the specialties, which
were interesting, and in some Of the features
very artistic and enjoyable. The dancing
of Mile. Bertotto, accompanied
by several lightning changes, IS
deserving of special mention.
The quintette Of Marlp1sa dancers were
pleasing, aud the French acrobats gave a
wonderfully artistic performance. The
singing could be improved upon by vocal
lists Of more talent. Altogether, the show
was better than it has received credit for
being in several towns in which it has re-

History of the Late 1imes Printing

The Goss perfecting press, lately used by

yesterday and boxed up by workmen

NerS, where it was ushe. ed into
notice with a flourish of trumpets by the
gentleman from the west who ran that
Journal for a few days. With his de-
parture toe Macon paper had no use for the
press, and it was sold by its makers, who

the press on its travels again. Whether
this Goss machine had other adventures be-
fore it was sent to Georgia is not on record,

scheme, and they begun Investigations to
that end. They built mill in New Or

think they will pursue the scheme any
further. You were wrong, | think, In the
