THE OLD TIMERS IMPORTANCE.
To squeIch or Approve the Ambition of
the Youngster His Province.

A man of great Importance in a village
where there are anglers is the Oldest fish
erman. His ideas of proper bait, of the
correct manner of casting with rod and
his thoughts on true craftsmanship may
be neither good nor worth considering in
the minds of the youngsters, but there Of
ten comes time when the Oldest fisherman
is called upon TO become the arbiter of
some mans destiny. Some young fellow
gets ambitious. He wants to be considered
one Of the elders in spite of his few years.
He fawns on the real old timers, address
es them by their nicknames, always carries
a bag of good pipe filling tobacco with him
and is ever ready to say nice things about
the old ones tackle. But there is always
that feeling haunting him that he is not
yet of them, even though they treat him
cordially and call him Sport. At last he
tells fish story, the Widest most untrue
to nature that he can think Of and on ii he
stakes his hope of being regarded as an old
timer before his years warrant it. Here Is
where the Oldest fisherman comes in. III he
says the story is the worst he ever heard,
the youngster' S position as an old timer is
assured But If he relates better one, or
even a worse one, the youngstcr must bide
his time.
Another occasion when the oldest fisher
man is all important is when "a big fish is
taken, say "a trout. 1t is the pride of the
lucky angler when the Oldest angler says
that it's the biggest trout l ever hearn
tell Of, let alone see. " That makes his fish
one of the monumental ones, ever to be
remembered when tales of big fishing are
told on the local hotels steps or porch.
Likewise is the Oldest fisherman's judg-
ment final on the subject of big catches.
The Oldest flsherman's tales take rank
above all Others. They are listened to with
marked attention, and the longer they are
drawn out the more they are listened to,
and many "grecny'' has been squelched
for saying the oldest fisherman's story was
older than the fisherman himself.-New

PREFERS THE BLIND TIGER.
MISS KEARNEY REGARDS 1T A
LESSER EVIL THAN THE
SALOON.

Both Are Common Enemies of So
ciety. But Wen Less Inclined 10
PatrOnize the OutIaved Place, and
Ii Is Easier TO FIght-The saloon "A
Licensed Institution for the Ruin
Of the Land-SmaII Hope for the
DrunIsard, But the Young Men
Must BE Saved.
Miss Belle Rearney lectured last night
az the Church Of Christ on Bolton street
on the subject Of the Blind Tiger Versus
the open Saloon" The lecture was in
answer to the argument commonly adj
vanced by the opponents Of prohibition,
that it does rot prohibit and that where
prohibition prevails blind tigers flourish
and are infinitely more harmful than the
licensed saloon.
Miss Kearney took the position that the
blind tiger and the open saloon are both
enemies Of society and agents for the de-
moralization Of the youth Of the land.
The difference between the two she said.
is that the blind tiger is an outlaw. while
the open saloon is a respectable member
OF society, licensed by the government
and protected by the officers Of the law.
The saloon where it exists, has the sup
port Of the law, and can bring to its aid
when needed men of wealth and influ-
ence, while the blind tiger exists in de-
iance Of the law, and is subject to be
harrassed and driven from its lair by
any citizen who has the moral courage
10 do so. As a choice between two evils,
she said, the blind tiger is to be preferred.
Respectable men, who would think moth
ing OF going Into a saloon, would not 90
intO-a disreputable and outlawed place 10
ger their drink. This is but a small adj
vantage. The chief advantage, she said
Is thal while the open saloon is a con-
slant invitation to the young men TO
drink, when the sale of drink is discoun-
lenanced by law, and its sale driven to
hidden places, the temptation is disposed
OF ana rev young men who have any re-
gard Tor their character will visit such
places There Is small hope for the con-
hrmed drunkard,' she said. 1T is the
save from drink"
Miss Kearney argued further that the
Dlhq Tiger is an easy enemy to fight
WIN uquor selling prohibited by law
pubic sentiment against It in any form Is
easy 10 Oulld up. If the officers of the law
are IN sympathy with the violators private
cltlAenS could bring them before the
courts ana secure their Indictment and
conVlcuon. II reputable citizens cannot
ne round who are willing to serve as wit
nesses it is an easy matter to hire detec-
yves 70 do the work In this way the
SAFE or liquor would be so restricted that
IL would be reduced to a minimum. While
II might not be entirely prohibited the
main point would be gained Public senti-
Inent would be against the sale or use of
uQuor, ana the business and its patronage
would be considered disreputable

perance Union and the purposes of the

A matinee Performance OF Zelena was
given at the theater yesterday afternoon,
which was well attended. The perform
ance was even better than that on We'd
nesday night, which is very high praise.
indeed The members OF the cast intensi-
fed the good opinion already formed "

The amount Of really excellent amateur
talent in Savannah. as shown in the re-
cent charitable and benefit performances
given at the theater this season, IS really
remarkable, and has been commented on
by members of prof ssi0ual companies
VINO witnessed the performances. A COM
pany selected from the best local talent
would compare favorably after little
training with the best professional com
panies presenting comic opera IN this
country. such a company, If formed for
the summer season, could readily be made
an artistic and financial success in Sa-
vannah.
A minstrel performance in aid Of Com
theater tonight. Il viii no
doubt prove a sure cure for the
blues. Any one who is not forced to laugh
will have his money refunded at the door.
The FIRST part will be composed Of the lat
est Jokes, and comic songs by Messrs-
Patton Spring. Connerat, Morgan, Ger
dine, George ". Melton. and ballads by
Messrs. Reaves and Blois. 1t will GER
tainly prove equal If not superior TO any
professional entertainment Of the kind
seen in this city.
The quartette composed Of Messrs. Hall,
Reaves Humber, and Richmond is the SUI
perior of almost any quorJette heard here
this season. The second part consists Of
break down dancing by Messrs. Gerdine,
Melton and Morgan, and some Of the steps
shown will be entirely original. The mus
zeal act will prove very interesting. II has
been arranged by Mr.. r. +. L. Miller, who,
with Messrs. Melton and Patton, VIII play
on twelve different instruments, introduc-
ing several novelties prepared especially
for the occasion. MessTs. Quinan and w.
other in an Irish specially. Mr.. Morgan
Will introduce a new and original dance
The performance will wind up with one
act farce in which gags and local hits will
abound. Mr.. l. Moragne Fleming is inter-
locutor. and brings to the part grace and
dignity which makes him an ideal middle
man.

TO visit the old country.

Mr. James Holland, one of Savannahs
Oldest and most respected citizens left
last night for the "Old Country" via New
York. He will be a passenger on the
steamship Majestic, which leaves New
York on Wednesday for Liverpool. He will
visit his old home in Lancashire, near
Manchester. Mr.. Holland came to Savan-
nah As years ago, and has lived here ever
since. He was a foreman in the old Lach-
lison foundry, now used as the Savannah
Brewery, and was brother-in-law of the
late Robert Lachhson, Esq. After
the closing of those extensive
works by the results Of the war.
Mr.. Holland was appointed an
engineer at the city water works, which
position he still holds Many changes have
taken place since MIR. Holland came to
America and possibly among the greatest
has been that incident to crossing the
ocean. When he made his voyage on the
steamship City of Manchester it took u
days to make the trip from Liverpool to
Philadelphia and four days from the lat
ter place TO Savannah; now the same trip
can be made in seven days. Mr. Hollands
friends, including the Morning News. of
which he has been a reader for As years
wish him pleasant journey and a safe re-
turn.
