Natural and Artificial Dryness OF
Cham payne.

Natural dryness and the smallest percent
age Of alcohol constitute the purest and
most wholesome champagne, as compared
with artificial and spirituous dryness, which
admits of higher percentage of sugar in

''brut" wines. By chemical analysis OF

Extra Dry contains ia a marked degree less
alcohol than other prominent brands, and

Young J. K. Emmett to Make His Bow
in Savannah Tomorrow Night.
Young ]. X. Emmett will make his first
appearance at Savannah Tomorrow night
In Fritz in Ireland" The sale of seats,
which began Saturday morning. is fatter-
ing one. The New York recorder says Of
his recent appearance in New York:
"In the handsome, graceful young actor
the Fritz of cherished memory lived again.
Young Emmett is the ideal Fritz. In the
son the father lives again, younger, hand
somer and more attractive in every respect.
A noticeable feature OF the performance
was the careful and picsureque way in
which the familiar play was mounted. The
old picture seemed all the more beautiful
because OF its new and elegant frame. The
excellence OF the supporting company de-
roted lauoable departure from the usual
methods Of stars. Particular praise is d Q
to Emily Lytton, who unites with pretty
face and trim figure an attractiveness OF
personality which emphasized her clever
comedy work. She was demure and
roguish by turns, and always careful that
exaggeration should not mar her efforts.n

Meningitis Breaks Out IN the Fulton
County Jail.
ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. 16.-Judgs Newman
has ordered the removal of all the revenue
prisoners now confined 10 the Fulton
county jail, and. in compliance with that
order. twelve prisoners were taken to the
Hall county jail last night at S:l5 O'Clock
and the others will be taken TO Cobb
county tomorrow.
The cause OF Judge Newmau's action is an
outbreak Of meningitis among the revenue
prisoners, which has already resulted in the
death of one man, while another is in a Sc
rlous condition.
Yesterday morning at 10 o'clock Andrew
Cruspy, under sentence for illicit distilling
died after very short illness.
James johnson, a second revenue prisoner,
was also suddenly taken Ill about 9 o'clock
last night. Both OF the men became I'M
conscious in less than an hour after they be-
came i'll. The county physician was called
in and quickly saw that something serious
was the matter, but with the assistance OF
two other physicians was unable to save his
patient.
When the news of Cruspy's death was
heard by the United States prisoners they
became so panic-stricken that they began to
clamor for a release or at least speedy re-
moval. In fact soma Of the revenue prisons
ers declared that they would break out aud
go home. Judge Newman ordered an in
vestigation of the sanitary condition OF tn Q
Jail, and from the report of the doctors
made the above orders. The other prison
ers as yet are free of the disease.
