ferday.

The Sale of Seats Took a Jump Yes
terday.
There was a considerable jump in the
sale Of seats for the Irving-Terry presen-
tation OF Nance Oldfeld and The Bells to-
morrow night
The visit to Savannah Of Irving, Miss
Terry and their associates Of the Royal
Lyceum Theater is undoubtedly the larg-
est enterprise that has ever been under
taken in a theatrical way here. The dis
tinguished and probably most renowned
player-manager in the world has made
four tours of America previous to his
current visit. The foremost of American
managers, Abbey, SchOeffel & Grau, have
had the direction of all but one of the pre-
VlOus tours and are the entre-preneurs
Of the now current professional journey.
1t has long been the desire of Irving to
visit the south and TO have the gratifica-
ton OF presenting the best his devotion
TO dramatic art could give. His intimate
acquaintance with many famed southern
ers has inspired a longing. His represen-
tatives were glad to further this desire
OF the distinguished player, and more
than a year ago placed the proposed itin-
erary OF southern tour before him for
his acceptance. He only made one objec-
ton to the suggested route, and in these
words: rs ii not possible, at any exer-
else Of exertion for US to visit more cities
than you suggestI" To make the tour
train engaged for over one month. The
train consists of the hotel car Iolanthe
three OF the largest Pullman sleeping
cars, and no less than seven baggage
cars. the last named to transport a part
of the scenery. properties and appoint
ments of the organization.
For the plays to be given here, the
scenes, costumes and appliances for light
effects, the minute requirements of the
presentation-are either forwarded or
brought with the company.
Several parties who have been seen,
and who compose a part of the theater-
going public, state that the change of
play is the better for the patrons of the
Savannah theater. A prominent northern
tourist, now stopping at the De Soto, says
Savannah should feel complimented that
Irving has decided TO play Nance Oh
field and The Bells, instead of the Mer-
chant of Venice, as he has seen him on
several occasions, both in London and in
this country, and there is no comparison
in the two plays. number of Savan-
nahians who have seen Irving, make the
same statement. One well known gentle
man said when he last saw Irving play
The Bells his acting in the part of Matthias
was so realistic, that in the death scene
the people got up out of their seats and
cleerp1 him.

Mr.. Perry, besides being a finished ar
fist, is a remarkable pianist in that he is
totally blind in both eyes. He does not,
like the other blind piano player familiar
to musical people here, the negro Blind
Tom" play by ear and only the light
music, but he plays everything from note,
which he memories with the assistance
of his wife. who sits at his side at the
piano and reads the music to him as she
would q book. His technique is remarka-
BILE, his phrasing good and he has a most
beautiful touch.
Mr.. Baker is one of the leading oratorio
and concert singers of the west, and has
and full of fire and of great power and
range. The indications are that this will
be one of the most satisfactory of all of
the concerts. AS there are about $50 seats
unused in the theater at each of these con-
certs, the committee has decided to dis
pose of fifty more season books at $3.50

badge some two feet round. over which
his good-natured visage peered for all the
world like a babe in arms. Alderman

ASSAULTED by A NEGRO.
Mamie Davis Ugly Story to the
Police,


Mamie Davis, a young woman living
at No. 20 Price street, reported to the
police yesterday that she had been as
saulted by a negro in her room.
The story which she told the police is
that she was alone Monday afternoon and
had started to leave to go downstairs,
when a burly negro dashed from behind
the door and seized hold of her clothing.
She jerked away from him and ran down
the steps, pursued by the negro, who
seized hold of her again at the foot of
the stairway. He dragged her into the
parlor, where she tainted away from
fright.
When she recovered from her faint the
negro was gone. Her dress was torn and
she was badly bruised. She was not Sc
riously hurt, however, and was about
as usual during the day. She gave a
description of the negro to the police
and said that she would be able to rec
ognize him if she ever saw him again.
The detectives are investigating the case.
The young woman is the one who made
several daring balloon ascensions at Thun-
derbolt last summer.

All his children are now with him, and a brother from Minneapolis is expected Saturday. It is stated that Yves illness was brought on in part from the effects left from an att tack of meningitis several years ago and in part from worry over the failure of a lecture tour and from overwork on sev- eral literary plans he had in hand. The first trouble was noted month ago, but Mir. Wye continued conscious until a week ago Since then he has recognized no one. He is attended by his devoted wife and capable nurse, and is visited daily by his physician. There is no telegraph station near his house.

Redwine Fails to Get a Pardon.

Washington, Feb. 20.-President Cleve- land today refused to grant a pardon to Louis Redwine, the young society man of Atlanta, Ga., convicted of embedding funds of the national bank by which he was employed and was sentenced Jan uary 12, 1894, to six years imprisonment in the Ohio penitentiary at Columbus. In denying the pardon-the president said the sentence was not a severe one and he sees nothing to entitle the convict to clemency Representations as to Red wines ill health do not, Cleveland says, justify his release at this time Indorse- ments of Redwines application for elem ency set forth that his health is in a precarioues state
