Little Elsie Leslie to Make Her Bow to

Little Elsie Leslie to Make Her Bow to
Savannah Theater-zosrs Tonight.
The much talked of "Prince and Paupsr,'
the drama constructed from Mark Twain's
story OF that name. will be at the theater
tonight. 1t will introduce in its leading
roles Elsie Leslie, who achieved fame in
New York, first In "Editha's Burglar, next
as the original Little Lord Fauntleroy, -
and lastly as the prince" and "1om
CAVITY" II is said the dramatization pre-
serves the idea OF the story as Mark
Twain wrote it to a remarkable degree, at
the same time utilizing its dramatic points.
Elsie Leslie first created a sensation at the
Boston Museum upon the first presen tation
Of Little Lord Fauntelroy" in this coun
try. For four months she delighted thous-
ands in that role. and when it was trans
ferred TO New York the same success was
repeated. As the young actress did not at
that time travel managers were forced to
get others to play the little
lord throughout the country. Upon
the dramatizing OF Mark Twain's
romantic story, 1.-THE Prince and the Pau
per" little Miss Leslie was allowed to make
an extended tour, and thus it happens that
she comes to Savannah. The play ia one
OF the imagination, it is true, but it is said
to possess the true poetic spirit, and such
semblance of reality that it never seems un-
natural. The Prince aud the Pauper''
will be played two nights-to-night and

TIE FRUIT DEALERS KICK.
They Want Push Carts Run OF tn



They Want Push Carts Run OF the
Streets.
The finance committee of the city council
has under consideration a knotty petition,
growing out of the murderous assault of the
Hanglkos brothers and Peter Platanites
upon Pano Pope
The petition is from the Greek fruit deal
ers asking that persons not having regular
places OF business be prohibited from selling
fruit on the streets from hand carts.
The petitioners claim that these travelling
fruit dealers have habit of placing their
carts in the neighborhood Of regularly Ii
censed fruit stands and underselling them.
which is wrong principle to allow in view
OF the fact that the carts don't pay near the
revenue to the city that the stands do.
Again they claim that the average fruit
sold from the carts is not up to the stand
ard and is as rule, unhealthy.
The fruit dealers consider it discrlmina-
tion for the city to charge them higher
tax than the cart-pushers, when the bust
ness Is practically the same. They cite sew.
eral cities as a precedent for the action
requested of Savannah.
The tinauce committee will make re-.
port on the petition at the next meeting Of
council

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
BETS LIVELY ON AN 100000 BALE
COTTON CROP NOW.


The Receipts Continue Heavy and the
Bears Claiming Everything-Ststis-
1ician shepperson's Estimate-W hat
the Outlook Indie stes in the Size Of
the Crop-A Reduction in the Yield
in Every State Except Texas
The bears are again in the ascendant in
the cotton market. The receipts have con-
tiuuod heavy up to date, instead Of Begin
ming to fall of as the bulls predicted. and
now the bears are claiming everything. A
orop of over 5000, 600 bales is freely pre-
dicted and bets are being made upon that
basis.
A. B. Shepperson, statistician of the New
York Cotton Exchange, in letter TO Supt.
Merrihew Of the Savannah ex-
change. considers S, O5O, 900 bales a conserv-
alive estimate Of the crop. MIR. Shepperson
SAYS there is a very great diversity OF
opinion as to the size Of the present crop,
the estimate. ranging from 7,25O,OOO 20
S,250.00J bales.
THE REDUCTION IN THE YIELD.
"From as careful q study as / have been
able TO make Of she matter, says Mr.. Shep-
person, my impression is that there is ia
every state except Texas reduction from
last seasons yield, the greatest falling OF
being in the Atlantic states.
Assuming the yield in the Carolinas to
be 80 per cent. less than last season, in
Georgia and Florida 70 be 20 per cent. less.
in Alabama, Mississippi and Arkansas to be
10 per cent. less, in Louisiana and Tennesr
see to be Is per cent. less and in Texas to be
the same as last season, would make the
general yield about 1,0S6,000 bales less
than last year. Deducting this from my
estimate of last years yield of 5000, 600
bales, would make the yield this season
1854, 600 bales. If to this is added 226, 900
bales remaining in the interior towne and
plantations from the last crop, il would
make the commercial crop Of 1S91-'92 about
S040,OOO bales.
A GOOD DEAL OF COTTON YET.
1.-THE deductions for reduced yield, COM
pared with last season, are larger than the
views Of some of my correspondents, while
many think the quantity Of old cotton in
the interior greater than have assumed.
1.-THE present outlook seems fairly 10
justify the expectation OF a crop OF about
S,O50. 900 bales.
1.-The grade will be very high and the
spinning quality doubtless fully per cent.
better than that of the last crop. When
comparison is made with the crop of 1S90-'ol
there should be added TO the present crop
the equivalent of 800. 900 bales for it's greater
spinning capacity. thus making 1t equal 70
$3.50 900 bales of that CROP

Effect OF the hreezs.


Effect OF the hreezs.
The recent freeze has not in
jured the truck crops around Savannah to
any appreciate extent. Pease. beans and
cabbage make up the bulk of the crops, and
these are in SUCH condition that IT, would
take an unusually heavy frost just now to
injure them. The pease. in some instances,
show slight nip, but not suttic lent, it is
thought, 20 kill.
The fall potato crop has been harvested
SINCE the middle of last month. The weather
all along had been excellent for potatoes,
and the crop in consequence was quite large
and OF good quality.
Unless there is another severe freeze with
in the next ten days the truck crops will
have got beyond the point where much
injury can result.
Maj. RYals thinks the outlook for big
crops Of all sorts Of truck products this
season is most hattering.

THE SITUATION IN CAROLINA.

A leading cotton factor. who has Just res
turned from an extensive trip through the
country, in the eastern section of South
Carolina, says things are very blue there.
Both farmers and merchants are blue, the
latter because they are unable to collect
their bills and the former because they have
no money, and credit is becoming hard to
get. Good crops of both cotton and
corn were made in this section,
but the farmers got nothing for their
cotton. As they have corn, there is no
danger of starvation, but they raise no
meat in that section, and the shoe will pinch
them there.
1t is not from South Carolina alone, but
from various sections of this state, reports
are coming that the cry of ''hard times"
has not been so general at any time since
the war.
"The farmers prospects look very dark
at present" said the factor.
