DISPATCHES THAT MIsLEAD.
a misrepresentation of the HarbOr
Wink.

a Savannah dispatch in the Atlanta
Journal makes the statement that 800 men
are Idle in Savannah as result OF the
stoppage OF work in the har50r. II goes
on 10 say that the failure OF congress
10 appropriate FOR this purpose is being
felt in the business circles OF the city.
Continuing. the dispatch says:
Many OF the steamers employed will
have to seek other contracts. The situa-
ton is a gloomy one for the hundreds Of
people dependent upon the large force Of
men that are thus thrown out"
According TO al accurate information
the Journals correspondent has totally
misunderstood. or inexperienced the sit
uation. People cannot be thrown out Of
work until they first get work to do. said
a gentleman connected with the harbor
work; and the mere probability that so
many might get work 10 do. is no foun-
dalton or reason for the statement that
they are idle. even though the probabili-
ties may not have been realized.
There are now about seventy-five or
eighty men working on the harbor. all but
very few OF whom are on the dredges.
Half a dozen or more are engaged in fin
lsning up the odds and ends of work on
the jetties- There have been practically
no more men on The harbor work this
year. The channel is being
improved constantly by the
dredging work, and there is every facility
AFFORDED for any steamer that wants TO
come here and load The old appropria-
ton for the river and harbor work will
not be exhausted until the middle Of July,
OF Aug l. and work on the channel will
continue steadily with eight dredges, "a
at present, until that time.
Congress has not ignored the Savannah
naI0or. The Senate committee has rein
serted the appropriation for carrying on
the work, and there is every probability
that the bill will 60 through now as
recommended. This viii insure the contin-
uance OF the work and the keeping up
OF the present standard of the channel.
Perhaps when this bill passes, contracts
ment to other men. but until that is done,
ana the men are az work, there is no way
in which they can be thrown out of 1t,
or IDLE because the appropriation might
not be made

Punch Robertson and his company ap-
peared last night in Master and Nan. -
A large audience witnessed the perform
anee, and, judging from the frequent ap-
plause, enjoyed it. The play is one of the

in their different roles.
Prof. Black and the pupils Of his dancing
school gave their annual May ball last
night at the Masonic temple, and it prov

noticeable in the fancy dances. a skirt

Josephine Jet. was very prettily done,
as was the Spanish dance La Cachucha. -
by the Misses Blum, Ely. Sullivan and
Lippman. No prettier rendition of the
"Serpentine dance" has been seen in Sa-
yannah than the one by Miss Josephine
Jett, who managed her draperies with
the skill Of a professional artist. A very
pretty little ballet called the Umbrella
ballet was danced by the Misses ROs-
signol, Lyons, Fry and EXley. A skipping
rope dance, by Miss May Gleason, was
heartily applauded. After the fancy dan
ces the pupils and invited guests enjoyed
a dancing programme of several num-
bers. Prof. Black has charge Of the dan
