The amateur season begins this week, and
will last until some time in May.
The Guards minstrels promise to be the
feature OF the week in theatricals. The
young men have been laboring faithfully
judging by their past experience, and the
demand for tickets there is every reason
to believe that their expectations will be
realized. The olio, or first-part of the
performance, will consist of the usual bal
lads and comic songs, interspersed with
new and catchy gags" while the second
part will consist of pleasing and enter
tanning specialties the most noticeable
among which is the either solo by one OF
the finest either players In the city; the
singing of the quartette, consisting Of
Jack Hail. Frank Richmond, Robert c.

ment The reputation of the Guards min
strels seems to have been gained in other
cities besides Savannah. Manager Patton
was the recipient yesterday of the fol-
lowing letter from Augusta:
f. l.. Patton, Jr., Esq, Manager
Guards Minstrel Company Savannah,
Ga: Dear Sr-Having noticed by the pa
pers, and also having learned, through
friends in your city, that you intend Civ
ing another minstrel performance in Sa-
Vannah on the 21st, l beg to ask that you
wire me at my expense when the box Of
fee Tor the reserving of seats will open.
[ had the pleasure of witnessing one of
your entertainments last spring while in
Savannah, and l candidly say that 1t was
one OF the best amateur minstrel per-
formances have ever seen. AS there will
be a party of about twelve Augustans
passing through your city on the 10th, my
self included, l have prevailed upon them
to remain over and witness your enter
tainment. hence my reason for wishing TO
know when the box Office will be open. as
desire TO wire a friend in Savannah and
have choice seats reserved.
Thanking you in advance for your
prompt compliance to my request, and
trusting that you will have a crowded
house, which your entertainment undoubt-
eddy will deserve, l am, yours truly,
S. B. Wetheroe.
Manager Patton has also received sew
eral letters from other points asking that
he bring the company to play for benefits,
but, as it is impossible for all the young
men to get away from their work. he has
had to write declining the offers. The box
office will be open tomorrow morning at
8 o'clock.

A Nation of Growers.

A few days ago a gentleman re-
marked. 81 am more and more con-
vinced every day of my life that we
are becoming a nation nf GROWERS"
Indeed, there is more truth than
poetry in the saying, tor we growl
at the weather if it is too cold; we
growl if it is wet and we growl If it is
dry. We complain of our preachers
and we grumble ut our school teach
ers. We curse our law makers if
they enact certain measures and we
denonhce them il they don't. We
complain Of our business and we fret
when we are pushed. We denounce
the newspapers when they print all
the bad news about US and we bring
railing accusations against them
when they dnu't print something
sensational about somebody else. and
so on through the whole category.
The world, however, wonld be much
better, individuals and families hap
pier and there would often times he
sunshine where there is shadow If we
would all stop this nonsensical growl-
.ng.-Exchange.

A ChurohiIl County shooting.

Ben Douglass, Superintendent of
the old w. 8. Bailey ranch. near st.
Clair. Churchill county. and nephew
OF Joe Douglass. the Virginia City
millionaire. was shot and seriously
wounded by a man named Metsker
last week. The Wadsworth Dispatch
gives the following particulars OF the
shooting:
Metsker entered Stratton's store
and said to n Mcmillan: swell,
how are You, old sport. what's the
news?' Mcmillan replied: @Noth-
ing Douglass get OF the counter,
and said: 81 have lots of news" and
struck Metsker. Metsker had his
hand on his gun by this time and
told Douglass to get his. Douglass
made a motion t. draw his weapon
and Metsker shot HIM in the abdo-
men and through the left lung, when
che men clinchei and Metsker shot
Douglass in tile back and then picked
up the scale weights from the coun-
ter and struck Douglass over the
head a number of times before Douy-
lass succumbed to his wounds.
Metsker gave himself up to the
Sheriff. The latest accounts say that
Douglass is recovering and will soon

Fistic Carnival.

Alf Ellinghouse representing W. A.
Brady Of New York, was in Reno
Monday to arrange for a pugilistic
carnival to take place during Fair
week. He looked over the old pris.
on walls with d, view of locating the
place for the fights. Tie Gazette
says be found things adapted to the
needs, and a seating capacity can be
easily arranged for $4,000 people. If
Elershouse succeeds in making sat
lsfactory arrangements he will pull
off finish fights between Maher and
Sliarkey and Dan Cree,:on and Kid
Mccoy. In addition to these there
will be finish fights between
pugilistic stars of lesser note with a
possibility of Corbett and Fitzsim-
mons again entering the ring.
Eninghouse will make Reno bid
against Carson for the carnival and
says that the successful town will
have to make arrangements to enter
tain 10000 people. Reno is very
much excited over the proposition.
Subscription papers will be circu-
lated In Reno and Carson and the
town that puts up the most slough"
will get the fights and the other will
kick.

Through an interpreter, for he can't
speak word of English, United States
District Attorney Finlayson questioned
him at length on the subject of San
Francisco. He claimed to know nothing
of either the Chinese burying ground,
nor the jail, which was certainly in his
favor; he had never heard of the Chi
nese missions, which is not Of necessity
conclusively condemnatory; and he
didn't remember anything about Gen
eral Grants visit to San Francisco, but
as he was only years old at the time
that proved nothing beyond the fact that
he was not abnormally precocious.
He did know all about the plaza, and a
good many of the streets to Chinatown,
emembered with patriotic thrill that
was worthy of emula ton the last years

cooked for his father for the past ten
years and had come here to his uncle,
and by that time Commissioner Van
Dyke was so thoroughly convinced that
he didn't know anything definite either
for or against the youthful and ingen-
uous Pock that the case was carried over
to August 81, when more testimony may
be given to decide the question one way

European Markets

NEW YORK. Aug. 24.-The Evening
Posts London financial cableeram says:
The stock markets were irregular today.
Consols and kindred stocks were weak on
direct news and Kaffirs were dull. The set
tlement shows small account, but con-
tangoes were fairly higher. There was a
further improvement in Brazils on the rise
in exchange. The coffee crop is good and
New York is said to be specuating in
coffee. Americans opened firm. They re-
mained strong for the greater part of the
day, but at the close were easier in the
street. Atchisons were especially good. OF
the foreign buying very little was Eng
lish. 1t was difficult to say whether stocks
will be scarce tomorrow, but I know as a
fact that arbtrage houses have been en-
deavoring today to borrow stocks in Lon
don. The discount market here is firmer
on the eve of the stock exchange settle
ment, which causes banks to refrain from
taking bills. Although the current rate
is IA, forward business is done in Amer
lean bills to arrive ten days hence at rs.
The Paris and Berlin markets were quiet.

played a strong game, relieved their pres
