Woman Hater,' and tonight in '"The Pol
itician." 'gThe Woman Hater'' is famil-
lar to most people who have seen Mr..

itician," however in which he is making
his greatest hit. The play is by David d.
Lloyd, the author of '"rhe Senator" The
central role is Josiah Timber. role that
gives full scope to Mr.. Reed for his talent.
In The Politician" unique and interest
ing character is that of Cleopatra Sturges,
the up-to-date twentieth century woman,
which is so charmingly played by Miss
Rush.
Mr.. Reed and his company will be in
the city to-day in charge of Mr.. Sanford
II. Cohen, who is managing the company
on its southern tour.
A Jacksonville dispatch to the Morning
News last night said that Roland Reed
broke all records for the first time
ter. The orchestra had to be put in the
wings. Reed made an instantaneous hit
and standing room only prevailed. Even
the aisleS were crowded. The enthuSi-
asm was unprecedented.
Tomorrow night Paradise Alley" will
be seen for the first time in Savannah.
Paradise Alley" takes its name from
a famous location in New York city, and
depicts most humorously and unsteady
life in thai region. The story of the play
is coherent and interesting one. Barney
Pagan and Sam ]. Ryan are the two
principal entertainers. The play is de-
scribed as being brilliantly interesting in
plot and comical in situations. 1t will
have special scenery, extraordinary eff
fects and delightful surprises
Charles Sampson, the strong man, will
give a performance at Masonic temple
Friday night and Saturday afternoon.
He has a company of japanese artists
with him who add to the entertainment
by their jugglery. Sampson will exhibit
his wonderful muscle development in va
rious ways.
Max O'Rell who lectures at the Guards
hall tomorrow night, is one of the most
brilliant writer's of the day. His criticism
of things American, sometimes provoking,
but usually pleasing, have always been
peculiarly interesting. He is one Of the
few eminent men who have attained a sue
cess on the platform. His lecture here is
Her Royal Highness. Woman" ORell,
like all Frenchmen on the platoon, is pol
ished in his style and like every cosmOpol-
itan, he Is natural; his gestures are grace
full and reserved; his delivery is vivacious
and modest. He effects the wit and re-
veals the sober thinker. In his effort to pro-
woke mirth he sometimes touches the fin
est chords of sentiment and emotion.
Blood purified, disease cured, sickness
and suffering prevented-this is the record

THE UNITED STATES COURTS.
Judge Speer's Charge to the Grand
Jury.

Jury.
All of the cases assigned for a hearing
in the United States court yesterday went
over for one cause and another, and there
were no trials had or orders of import
ance rendered.
The case of John Fletcher against c. s.
Darling was reassigned. L. B. Toomer
was to have been tried on a charge of
fraudulently obtaining pension money, but
was sick in bed. The case of the Darien
Towboat Company against the steamship
ID. H. Miller was also assigned, but went
over TO the latter part of the month be-
cause the attorneys and parties to the
suit were not ready.
There was some discussion about GER
tain papers in the case of a negro sailor
against the schooner Julia A. Trubee
having been taken out of court. Neither
the defendant nor the plaintiff put in an
appearance, except through their attor-
neys, and it appeared very much as IL
both We're without clients, and the case
would have to go by the boards
After the court adjourned there was a
pretty hot discussion between the at
torneys interested with regard to what
had been said, in which part was after
ward taken by the deputy clerk, and it
was thought for a time that the row would
be a serious one. 1t was finally settled
however, to everybodv's satisfaction. and
there was no difficulty.
The grand jury was charged and re-
tired for the consideration of the cases
TO be brought before it. Among other
things, Judge Speer said in his charges
to the grand jury:
IF an honest man who is a LIQUOR sell
Ter avs his taxes he has to sell at a
certain price because he has got to get
back the money he has paid out Well a
gentleman who sets up an illicit distii-
lery on a spring branch and turns 200 or
300 bushels of corn into corn whisky. and
who makes no expenditure except his own
labor, can undersen the legitimate dealer
and drive him out of the market When
you permit that man TO go unwhipped of
justice you permit the man who pays his
and you put a premium upon the gentle
man who works by the light of the moon.
That is not right Not only is that true
but these Illicit distileries are the cause
of a great deal of harm throughout the
country.

A tired young man tumbled into the
Savannah river yesterday afternoon from

the foot of Drayton street He was res
cued by the mate of the schooner William
II. Swan.
The young man was taking a nap on a
pile of railroad crossties, when about a
dozen Of them rolled into the river. and
the sleeper went with them. He sank TO
the bottom of the river, but quickly rose
to the surface and grabbed couple of
crossties and held on for dear life. A line
was thrown to him by the mate of the
schooner, and he was hauled out.
1t was almost a miraculous escape from
being either drowned or killed by the
falling crossties.
The bedraggled youth had several Sc
we're bruises about the shoulders, but he
walked away before any one around could
ascertain his name.
At the time the crosstes fell colored
