Divorce proceedings are pending between
Mr.. and Mrs. James Neill. Mrs. Neill is
known on the stage as Annie Hele n
Blanche. The case will be tried in New
York in December.
This announcement, received in Savan-
nab yesterday morning, will cause genuine
surprise. Both Mr.. Neill and his little wife,
Familiarity known as Chip" from the
success she attained as "Chip Redmond"
while playing an engagement with the
Ford D ramatic Association six years ago,
were widely known. here. Mr.. NELL
began his dramatic career with the Fords
and has since attained enviable success on
the professional stage. For the last Two
years he has supported Crane in The Sen

He has just finished an engagement IN san
Francisco and is in Denver this week. Mrs.
Eeill is playing in " Yon Yonson."
No further announcement in regard TO

proceedings have begun. Mr. Nell and
Miss Blanche were married in 1856, shortly
after leaving Savannah at the close OF a
summer engagement with the Fords. There
was a great disparity between them, both
In appearance and nature
Mr.. Neill is tall erect and dtgnided. His
wife is little bit of a woman, active as
cricket, with red hair and few freckles-
in fact, a typical soubrette in everyday life

Miss Blancke's courtship was a romantic
one. They met while Miss Blaucke was play
ing boy part in Lights o. London" The
meeting was seemingly a case of love at
first sight. After year they we're mar
ried. Their welded life was believed to be
happy one. They were apparently as de-
voted to each other as two people could be.
More than once each refused handsome
offers of engagements in separate companies

TO USE THE PALMETTO.

A Move to Establish Plant in savan-
nah to Operate the Warraud Patents.
Savannah has chance for another manu-
featuring enterprise. The Commercial Fiber
and Extract Company, with a capital of
100000, has been organized in Baltimore
to experiment. with and operate the War
rand palmetto patents aud is contemplating
the establishing OF $4,000 experimental
plant here. Il is expected that wish a
nucleus OF 900 local capital will be in
terested 60 make the plant a more extensive
one A $4,000 plant will employ forty
hands and $4,000 plant upward of 100.
MI. Warrand Isl In correspondence with
the baltimore company with view 70 an
early beginning,of work. He is how confident
OF the success OF his patents on the uss Of
palmetto. 1t has been established by ex-
perience, MIR. Warrand claims, that it takes
from ten TO fifteen pounds of oak bark to
corresponding quantity of extract to tan
one pound of leather. The average cost of
oak bark is above $50 a ton. Where the
bark has to be transported long distances it
Will cost nearly $50. 1t is safe
TO assume that it takes from II to Is cents
OF oak bark to tan one pound Of leather.
w here hemlock bark is used the cost is much
less, probably oue-third or one-half of the
cost OF oak bark, but hemlock leather does
not bring within or 10 cents per pound as
LuuCu as Oak-Janle leather, leaving the
relative proportion of cost for tanning ma
terial the same.
Palmetto tans as good leather in color and
finish as oak does and it has the advantage Of
costing great deal less il only used for
tanning and the residue burned. Should
the leaves and stems be used to manufacture
bedding fiber and plasteripg hair then the
extract becomes by-product and praoti-
cally costs nothing, as the fiber pays a good
proit in itself.
A tannery working up 100 raw hides
daily would require $50 tons Of oak bark,
costing from $4,000 to $4,000 per month
This would entirely be saved if palmetto ex-
tract from fiber plant should be used. II
palmetto is used for tanning only it would
require about 200 tons, costing from So to
IS delivered at works. to tan the same
quantity OF hides and there would be
margin of $1,000 to 2,40O a month in its
favor.
The south with it's 100000 or 100000
acres of palmetto lands is destined, Mr..
Warrand believes, to wrest the tanning
industry from the north and east and COM
pete as successfully as is has in the from in
dustry. The fact cannot be disputed that it
has cheaper hides, cheaper tanning ma
terial, better climate and better home
market than any other section.
