MISS YAw-s HIGH NOTES.
The Young Singer Enthusiasfieall,
Received in savannah.

ne lDuhE singer
Received in savannah.
Miss Ellen Beach Yaw made her first
appearance before a Savannah audience
last night, under the auspices OF the Or
der Of Elks. While she did not carry it by
storm, she was accorded a reception Of
which any artist might be proud. She
was not by any means a disappointment.
There were many skeptical people in the
audience, but their skeptcism was dis
PEELED long before Miss Yaw had completed
her programme. Her opaning number
was Alabief's Russian Nightingale" 1t
brought out her lower re sister, which
is full and sweet and souorous. She
touched a few high notes. but .tust enough
to pique the curiosity. Her second number
was Dell Acqua's Willamette" which she
sang in French. It has been tr5 lnsposed
for her purpose and a number 0f high
passages inserted. II was in this song she
first gave an idea of her wonderful high
register. For an encore she sang ''CoGnin'
Thro' the Rye" Proch's Theme and Va
riations was decidedly her most brilhs Mt
number. 1t is distinctively a show piece
She next sang Eckert's swiss Echo
Song" with some surprising effects on
high vocalists. For an encore She gave
Auberts laughing song, that Patti made
famous, rendering it with splendid effect,
as in all of her songs high passages have
been added for her purpose.
Her closing song, an Ave Maria by Mas
cagni, was enthusiastically applauded. In
response TO one of her encores she sang
Way Down Upon the Swanee River"
Miss Yaw is studying opera At present
her voice is not robust enough for oper-
attic work. Her enunciation is as clear
cut as spoken language. She has a dra-
matte temperament, as evinced in her
laughing song, but it is still tethered to
ineXperience. Personally she is tall, slen-
der, with small features, and there is
something singularly spirituelle in both
her appearance and her voice
Miss Xaw is not by any means the only
member of her company that is an artist
Mr.. Macmillan Dick proved to be an
artist of the highest rank. The beautiful
rendition of his violin solos were encored
over and over again. Miss Georgiena
Lay won laurels as a pianiste, and as an
accompanist.
Miss Yaw will sing at a special matinee
this afternoon at 2:30 O'Clock The re-
served seat diagram will be open at Liv-
ingstons at O'Clock this morning.

Trust Company. Before the war he was
cashier of the Timber Cutters Bank
During the struggle he was detailed to
one of the departments, but in the defense
of Savannah against Sherman he served
in the batteries on the outer defenses.
Mr.. Wakeman was a man of excellent
character and every one who knew him
was his friend.

THE LATE JUDGE ERsK1NE.
His Death Brings Sadness 10 Those
Who knew Him.

The announcement of the death of
Judge John Erskine in yesterdays Morn
ing News was received with deep regret
by the members of the bar in Savannah
and by every one who knew him either
professionally or as a friend. Judge
Erskine was not only jurist whose
knowledge of the law and whose fearless
and impartial decisions from the bench
won him a reputation, but he was a man
who commanded the respect and esteem
of those with whom he came in contact
in the everyday walks of life Few men
bring themselves into closer relations
with their fellow-men than did Judge
Erskine, and few will be more sincerely
mourned.

Goodwin needs no Introduction to theater-
going people. As jim Radburn, the Pike
county deputy sheriff, he has made wide
departure from the methods which have
charac terized him in the past He still
gives his audience plenty of food for
laughter. but he adds to this a serious vein
which commands the tear of sympathy.
Jim Radburn is a combination of quaint
humor and earnestness, and to properly
interpret the part requires an equally firm
control of pathos and humor This Mr.
Goodwin has shown that he possesses, and
In MizzoLra he has not only made the hit
of his professional career but he has
taken long stride in his art and proved
himself to be an actor of rare versatility.

admirably acted by a company unusually
strong for the support of a star There

bers of the company have something to
do worthy of their best efforts.

Prospectors Want to Sell Because

"Why are good mines for saleW
Has often been asked and particu-
larly is this so in connection with
the desire on the part of the min
ers who have been trying to sell
the Grande Ronde river mines.
hisquestion is probably the hard
est one that mining brokers have
20 contend with" says the Baker
City Democrat. Purchasers Of
mining property are q very susplc-
ious sat and invariably look upon a
good property that is offered with
dubious eyes, and about the first
question asked is, "why do you
want to se,l?" There is q great
many reasons, and numerous ans.
wers could be made to the seeming
ly important question. There is
comparatively little, if any "mine
salting' in these days, and it is
about time that investors took
properties on their merits, and let
the question of why owners want
to sell alone. Generally this ques-
tion can be answered in the following
simple statement; In great many
instances the owners are men whose
lives have been spent in poverty
and a daily struggle for existence.
They know they have a fortune;
they have had enough of battle and
strife. They want to enjoy life.
They have dreamed of a good
time,p and they want to realize
their dreams. The man, no matter
young or old, who never before had
a dollar, who suddenly finds him
self the owner of property worth
many thousands, has an unoon-
trolable desire to see his fortune in
shining gold or crisp bank notes.
He wants to take life easy, He
wants to move out of a miners cab
in into home provided with the
luxuries of life, and he don't want
to wait. He has not been wealthy
enough to want more. He feels
that he never viii want more but
what he has in the way of property
he wants to convert at once into
cash, 1t may be added that there
are now many prospectors climbing
the mountain sides, searching for
the precious metals, who have own

Office wants passed is to place the
Indians on allotted land under the
same jurisdiction as the Indian
who has not yet severed his tribal
relations. 1t may delay the final
extinctions of the Indian race some
years if liquor is kept away from

ing the New York market supplied
with them. 1t is far from Oregon
to New York, but apples and pears
will bear transportation long dis
tance. From a boastful Pacific
coast state that borders upon Ore
gon, lots of poor fruit have been
sent here, as well as to London,
this year. We have had trainloads
Of peaches and pears from there
that were unfit to eat, and that
even the street urchins refused to
buy from the pushcart Italian ven-
ders. 1t is not all the time very
easy to get even an apple of the
best kind in New York, though
apple trees are plentiful in all the
states"
The above is only one of many
such comments that come before our
observation every day in our East
ern exchanges. That the great
cities of the Eastern states and
Europe are becoming tired of be-
ing humbugged by the cuttings and
cast off fruit, of fruit producing Sec
tions is clearly evinced by such
comments as the above. In Ore
gon and Washington lies the power
to bring speedy turn of affairs for
the better in the great fruit con-
suming centers of the world.
Both of these states, with their
great fruit producing districts are
slowly but surely being looked to
for the only remedy that will crowd
inferior fruit from the markets of
the world, and that is, namely:
Wholesome fruit of a superior quail
ity and flavor. The Worlds Fair,
at Chicago, that great institution,
where all things "were shown in
their true light" efiectually tore
the mask from the methods of Cal
ifornia exports of fruit and Oregon,
for the first time in her history, as
a producer of fruit, stood revealed
before the fruit consuming world
in her tue light. The time for the
people to profit by this, one of
many Of her great resources, is now
when the Eastern markets are in
one voice calling on her.
