Neither of these doctors told me that cof-
fee was the cause of the trouble.

AT THE THEATER.
HOyts' "a ParIOr Match" Before
Fair Audience.

Fair Audience.
"a Parlor Match" as originally written,
was one of the funniest of plays. 1t was
one of Hoyt's earlier efforts. though one
of his best. "Old Hoss'' Hoey and his
partner, Evans, helped to popularize the
piece, and it has come to be one of the
best known plays on the stage.
1t has been several years since "A Par
lor Match was seen in Savannah and
since then "Old Hoss" has died. The play
was presented at the theater last night
1t is about the same that It was half a
dozen years ago. but 1t has been polished
up considerably, and much of the horse
play has been eliminated. A lot of new
dialogue is UP to date.
Mr.. Philip H. Ryley was easily the
brightest star in the company. AS l. Nc
Corker, literary man. Hoeys old part,
that of the tramp was done by Mr.. Mark
Sullivan. He made a good tramp and
his song, "I Happened To Be There" made
a hit. Miss Edith Hoyt made a capt-
waiting Innocent Kidd. The specialties were
numerous and good.
The attraction tonight is the James
Scandal" The play, like Sheridans other
comedy, 1.-THE Rivals" is not exceeded IN
humor, wit and satire probably by any
thing that has been written since. The
present revival partakes of the nature of
the Jefferson-F lorence-Drew revival Of
THE Rivals and both of them make de-
mands upon the art of the actors, which
can only be met by artists of fine timber
and extensive experience. That has been
at Drury Lane in London in 177.
The Importance of the engagement of the
James Kidder-Warde combination is aug
mented in a particular manner by the
fact that the trio Is to give an adequate,
which is to say, an elaborate, presenta-
ton of the comedy. The sale of seats in
dlcates that the production will be before
a large audience.
Owing to the disarmament of the Savan-
nah Lyceum course the management of
the Y. NJ. C. A. course has decided to post
pone the opening of it's box sheet until
Saturday morning, to enable those sub
scrlbers to the lyceum course, who desire
to do so, to secure tickets for the Y NJ
c. A. Star Course. The reserve seat plan
will be opened at the Young Mems Chris
tan Association building at $3.50 a. M, Oct.
20. The prices of season tickets are 81 to
members and contributors and $50 to all
others. These prices include reserve seats
for the entire course.
Several parties who have been privil-
edged to hear some of the talent secured
for the course, speak in the highest terms
of their merit The guarantees paid the
talent engaged for the course this season
is over 500 more than has ever been paid
by the association and those secured are
some of the very best in their respective
fields.

INTERESTING HISTORY
Attached to Two Bills introduced in
the House Recently.

Washington, December 9.-SOme in
teresting history is attached TO two
bills recently introduced in the House
by Mr.. Underwood for Gen. Wheeler.
The bills are to grant pensions to Mrs.
Margaret B. Shipp, widow of Lfeutten-
ant William E. Ship, who was Killed
at the battle Of San Juan hill, andtto
Mrs. Louisa B. Smith, widow of Lieu-
tenant William H. Smith, who was
killed at the same place. There was a
remarkable similarity in the history
of these two soldiers. They studied to-
gether at West Point, graduated to-
gether, and after leaving the academy
both arose to the rank of lieutenant
They net their deaths in the same
battle within fifteen minutes of each
other, and finally these bills to pen
sion their widows were introduced in
Congress simultaneously.

AN IMPERIALIST
Who Would Have Uncle Sam Mix II
Chinese Affairs at Once.

Shanghai, December 9.--John Bar
rett, formerly United States minister
to Siam, has returned here after Wis
iting Pekin and the principal Chinese
ports. He says the situation in China
IS of the most critical nature, and that
Manehuria is no longer Chinese. but
Russian territory. He asserts that
New-Ghwang, the chief northern port
for Reinforcement of American pro-
ducts, is also practically Russian, and
is liable to he closed any day. The
only permanent safeguard to the par
amount American and British inter.
ests, Mr. Barrett says. is Immediate
and united action by the interested
governments to defend the integrity
of the Chinese empire. to enforce re-
forms in the government, to prevent
further SESSIONS of ports and provinces
and to insist upon the open door
policy in all ports of China, including
the spheres of influence claimed by
Russia, Germany and France. Other
wise, Mr.. Barrett contends, the inn
pending partition OF the Chinese EN-,
pire will be serious to the field OF
trade by disastrously affecting Amer
lean and British influence in Asia.

Last night, for the first time in the
history of Ohio county, the Sheriff had
two convicted murderers in the jail.
The trial of the case of State V. Clar-
ence Johnson and Hugh Devinney, for
the murder of Charles Mclaughlin, on
the afternoon of September 9th, last,
came to an end at ten minutes OF SIX
o'clock last evening, when the jury re-
turned into Court, after an absence OF
two hours and fifty minutes, with a
verdict of guilty OF murder in the first
degree, as to both prisoners, without
any suggestion as to imprisonment
This makes the penalty death by hang
ing. The usual motion for new trial,
and in arrest of judgment, was made
by Captain Dovener, consideration of
which was deferred to another day, and
