wang to Make Its Bow in Savan-
nah Tonight.
"Wang" will be seen for the first time
in Savannah tonight. The story of the
opera is familiar to most theater-goers.
The company which win be seen here in
clsdes some of the best comic opera sing
ers of the day. A leading critic says of
the opera: las a spectacle, the scenic
arrangements are magnificent and the
mechanical effects are up to date, the
troublesome elephant, with an inquiring
turn of mind and a capacious thirst,
being about as perfect piece of work in
its line as could be imagined. The cos
tunes are dazzling, and they contain very
handsome ladies', who sing well and are
real living people who don't seem
at loss to know what to do
with their hands. The chorus is
well drilled and does not have
any difference of opinion with the leader
of the orchestra as to tempo while the in
tricate marches and movements are all
well executed Wang" is about as
pleasing performance as one could wish,
and the auditor who does not spend the
greater part of three hours in cachinatory
paroXysms must be suffering from teta-
nus.
The music is of the bright, catchy sort,
so dear to the heart of the whistler with
any sort of an ear, while the dialogue
scintillates throughout with witty Quips
and sayings and absurd juxtapositions of
words. From the opening chorus, which
is decidedly well sung, to the finale, the
opera was eXcellently rendered.

FIRE IN A CLOTHING STORE.
It Breaks Out in the Upper Story of D.
J. Morrison's Place,


Fire was discovered last night a few
minutes before 10 O'Clock in the upper
story Of the brick store occupied by D. j.
Morrison at Barnard and Congress
streets, opposite the southwest corner of
the city market.
An alarm was turned in from Box 80 at
the market, and the department responded
promptly. When the tremen arrived the
blaze was seen coming from the window
at the corner of the building on Congress
street, and il was matter of only few
seconds before there was a stream from
the chemical engine upon it. The build
ing is a two story structure, the entire
upper story of which is occupied by the
clothing house of d. j. Morrison. The
lower story is occupied by ID. j. Morrison
on the Congress street corner, and Decker
X Dieter on the st. Julian street
corner. Back Of these two is the cloth
ing store of II. Bothschild.
The fire was confined almost exclusively
TO the front end of the building at Bar
nard ana Congress. The blaze was soon
extinguished by the chemical engine and
several streams which were soon upon it,
The upper story being open made IL APP
pear as if the fire had spread throughout
the building on account of the dense vol
ume of smoke which was coming from
every crack and window.
The worst part of the fire was confined
to the corner mentioned.
Decker & Dieter were not damaged at
all. BothsChild's stock was probably
partially damaged by water which went
through the floor, but his store was not
opened, and it was not ascertained how
far his damage extended. Mr.. Morrison
was the heaviest loser as the result of the
fire. lie had large stock of
clothing on the top floor,
where the IRE started He could
not estimate last night the value of his
stock, but a large part Of it was damaged
both by fire and water. The stock on
the lower floor was hurt by water Mr..
Morrison had a trunk in the store filled
with valuable iewelry and for long time
had trouble ia getting to it, He was
finally allowed to 30, however, and see
that it was in safe place.
He said last night that
he was fairly well covered by insurance,
though some Of his policies had expired
few days ago and he had not since taken
time to renew them. Mr.. John Sullivan
carried s. 800 in the North British and
Mercantile on Morrison's stock The
amount of the other insurance could not
be determined.
The building was the property of Mrs.
M. A. Davis, of Toccoa, Ga Col. Peter
Reilly is her agent here. The building
is fully covered by insurance. The dam
age is estimated by some to building and
stock at about 5000, while others place
a higher estimate On it. The origin of
the FIRE is unknown.

LIGHT FRosTs EXPECTED.
The Cold Wave Has Diminished in In
tensity, However.

The Cold Wave Has Diminished in In
tensity, However.
The latest cold wave from the north
west was central last night in the lower
Mississippi valley, and was CHANGING this
way, but had greatly diminished in inten-
sity, so much so that where it was
thought it would bring heavy frosts it is
probable now if there are any frosts at
all they will be extremely light oaes.
The maximum temperature at Savan-
nah yesterday was 63' and the minimum
49,, the mean being Sc or 50 below the
normal. The temperature has risen CON
siderably in the northwest the last cold
wave having passed southwark from that
section. The crest of the cold
wave is somewhere in the neighbor-
hood of Louisiana and Texas, but it has
moderated TO such an extent that
1t is doing much less damage than that
which preceded it, The temperature
here. however, was expected last night
TO fall to about $50 some time this morn
Ing, with light frosts accompanying the
fall. This will be followed by rising
temperature 1t is not believed the
frosus will be sufficient to do any further
damage TO the crops.

WHAT the coMPANIEs DID.

II will be seen, said the gentleman,
that the companies in ten years took out
Of Savannah $780,, 365. more than they
paid back, though by including 81 ,lO9,-
5l5.05 as expenses, a net loss is made out
of S341, 1905. Altogether it does not
seem that the companies have done so
badly in Savannah after all. Having
taken out Of the city nearly Ss0O,O0O more
than they have paid back it seems
that they might shrink the expense ac-
count to include a comparatively small
net loss
A loss Of s181, 900 is estimated for
the year ending March 1, but this is not
stated positively The statement OF the
bad year, it will be noticed, includes the
great fire Of April 1889, to begin with
and the recent heavy loss on Bay street.
An actual statement of the losses for the
last five years up to March /, 1894, group
ing the bad year of 1889 in the first table
instead Of the second, would make a
much better showing for Savannah.

KINGS DAUGHTERS TABLEAUx.
a Novel Entertainment at Masonic
Temple Tonight.

The Kings Daughters of Circle No. Z
will give a tableaux entertainment to-
night at Masonic hall. The public is in
vited to enjoy scenes amidst Arabic en-
chantment and Andalusian bowers. The
brilliancy of attire that marked the
splendor of Grenada will highten the
effect, softened by seductive and graceful
scenes of Spanish love. Each tableaux
vivant will be interspersed by vocal and
instrumental by artists of whom the For
est City may be justly proud. A Span
ish dance will be another feature in
which poetry of motion will blend with
youths facination. At the conclusion of
the tableaux there will be a dance in
which every one will be invited to par
ticipate. AS the charitable object for
which the entertainment will be given is
commendable, it will doubtless be we'll
patronized.

While apparently the circular makes a
very bad showing for Savannah, a little
dissection brings out some of the facts in
different light. In the first place, said
a gentleman yesterday, who is well
posted, there is a discrepancy in the state
ment of the net loss during the period
covered by the circular at S47S, 1905, for
ten years. This is the net loss for eleven
years, according to the companies fig
ures, as an examination of the circular
will show, and, consequently, the net
average loss is not SAT .S15 as
stated but several thousand dollars
less
Expenses are put at 1915 per cent. Of
all receipts As the agents received 10
per cent, this allows 1875 per cent. for
general officers salaries other general ex-
penses and dividends, not small margin
by any means.
The losses for the first period of five
years were S727 ,194,16, as against receipts
of 81 ,547 ,0925S, or less than half the re-
ceipts, leaving a gross profit to the COM
panies Of 1919, 297.S2
After deducting S5l5, 697. 81 for expenses
there was still left profit of 1903 500. 30
The losses for the second period of five
years exceeded the receipts by S56, 932 So
When 1898, Sl7. 80 is added to this for ex-
penses it gives a net loss to the compa-
MES of $3.50, SO. If the total receipts
and losses for the two periods are added
together the result VIII be as follows:
follows Receipts, S3.32S. 545 Is; losses,
$500, lSO.l9; gross profits, $762, 3c499.

drilled IN the school of the squad and in
the sitting up exercises.
The men composing the company
are mostly yachtman and those
connected with boating and
other aquatic sports, with a good
sprinkling of military men.
The success of the organization is due
mainly TO the efforts of Mr.. J. A Z. Girls
field and Mr.. w. Norman Beckett
who have worked hard for several
weeks and have obtained some of the best
material TO be had in the city. When the
number of military companies in the city

Sympathetic Pains.

The different organs of the body are very sympathetic. One is very apt to feel the pain of another. and it is not al- ways easy to locate the trouble exactly. A weak back not infrequently occasions pain in the side, and one limb often aches out of sympathy for another.
 ALLCoCK's POROUS PLAsTERs are just the remedy in such cases. They are soothing in their effect, and draw out the pain so that the back or side or limbs are supple instead of stiff, and free to perform their functions.
 They have been tried by thousands and millions of people in every land, and with one uniform result. entire sat- isfaetion.
