MIR George A. Traylor, special agent
of the United States department of la
Dor, is in the city in the pursuit of statis-
teal information about the business and
resources of Savannah and the works OF
municipal improvement and betterment
in which it is engaged.
Mr.. Traylor had already spent some
days, during a previous visit TO the city,
i'm the month of May in the same work
in which he is now engaged and accu-
INFLATED then most of the information for
which he was seeking. The department
was authorized, under an act of Con-
gress. to secure and publish in its semi
monthly bulletins the standing of every
city in the country of more than 10000
inhabitants, of which there are $40. Mr..
Traylor has himself visited eighteen of
these cities and has two others, Rich
mond and Norfolk, to inspect before his
work along this particular line win be
completed.
The statistics that are gathered include
almost everything of any possible interest
to a prospective immigrant; the area and
population of the city the SIZE and care
of the streets and pubic parks, the wa
ter works and other municipal proper
ties, the system of public schools and
charities, the death rate and a vast
amount of other and miscellaneous mat
ter AS published, the work will be of
interest and value, ana should place be-
fore those who desire TO know the ad-

BLUES WON AT BASKET BALL.
Defeated the whites by n Score of
II to I3.

II to 13.
A large audience was present last night
at the Young Mems Christian Association
to witness the game of basket ball be-
tween the Whites and the Blues, cap
tanned by Mr. j. c. Blake and Mr. WHY
T. Doty AS soon as the bail was put
in play the fun began, and 1t did not cease
until time was called at the close Of the
second half, when the score was announc-
ed as II to Is in favor of Mr. Dotys side.
The Whites started off well. In the
first half they made nine points to their
opponents four, but In the second half
the Blues seemed to realize their condi-
ton and with a look of determination
in their faces they piled up 10 more scores
while the Whites tried in vain to keep up
with the rapid pace set them by their
enemies
Mr.. Blake, for the Whites, deserves
special credit for the excellent game he
put up he making all of the scores for
his side. For the Blues WHY Doty and
Courvolsier played exceptionally strong
games. the lodging of Doty winning for
him much applause. 1t must not he
thought that these not mentioned did not
play well, for every one on both sides
played a stiff game, and died game.
There is some chance of series of
games being arranged between these two
teams.

"oLIVETTE" CAPITALLY SUNG.
Miss Hazzard Made Her Usual Hit
in the Title Part.


in the Title Part.
The second week of opera opened last
night with "Olivette," which was admir-
ably presented. The opera is a pretty one,
a mixture of pretty music and brisk hu-
NOR that makes it go.
Little Miss Hazard had what theatrical
people term a fat part as "Olivette,"
and she got all there was out of 1t, squeez-
ing 1t quite dry in the process. She is a
little artistic. and is quite the most be-
witching and delightful little actress that
has appeared here in great while. She
received a big share of applause for her
acting and singing, and seemed to be in
her happiest vein, which, however, is her
normal condition.
Miss Du Ere appeared to better advant4
age than she has in either of the other
operas. If Miss Du Ere would put lit
lie more life into her acting and singing
she would do herself much good.
Mr. Frear's stock as a comedian took n
big jump last night As Coquelicot he
was funny and kept the fun-making NOV
ing continually. 1t was also made evil
dent that Mr.. Frear has a voice, and a
good one, too.
Mr. Allen did not have an opportunity to
sing in the role of the Due De Ifs HIS
makeup was great. a combination of Lit
tie Lord Fauntleroy and Gil de Berau.t
and it can be imagined how Mr.. Aliens
six feet and classic figure showed off.
Sig. Montegriffo was vigorous and cava-
herly as Valentine, and Mr.. Lang made a
capital old captain. There was an excel
leut audience and the house was as cool
as a seaside pavilion.
"Olivette" will be sung again tonight
and those who want to enjoy laugh and
hear some good singing ought to attend.

A NOBLE HOBO.
An Austrian Count Who Is Writing a
History Of Human Life-Lives
In the Best hotels.

Rocco Dianovich, a count of royai
Austrian blood, according to his story.
who is known in every country of the
habitable globe as Tile Noble Hobo"
is in Pittsburgh onthe last trip abou.
the world which has consumed 35 years.
He says he is gathering facts for
history of human life, and goes about
on foot to better obtain the data he re-
quires. He says he will publish his
book in New York, and return to Aus
tria. where his mother and brother still
live. Count Dianovich will remain in
Pittsburgh three weeks visiting edu-
cational institutions, says the News of
that city. ~ ~ -. -
The noble hobo always walks,
though that ends his resemblance to
the genus hobo" He lives at the best
hotels and always has plenty of money.
He began his wanderings in search of
the facts of ordinary life in 1863. and in
that time has been over the whole globe
several times. During the ten years
war in Cuba he served an enlistment
in the United States navy, serving on
the Congress, under Lieut.. William T.
Sampson, now rear admiral, shortly
after the Virginius affair. He will
visit Cuba shortly to secure the facts
of existing conditions there and will
then go to Madrid for the Spanish side
of the case.
