AT THE THEATER.
"The Prisoner of Zendao To-night's
Attraction.


Attraction.
THE Prisoner Of Zenda" will be the
attraction tonight and will be interpreted
by a company, said to be under the man
agement of Mr.. Daniel Frohman of the
New York Lyceum theater. Although
now in its fourth year the play has lost
none of its popularity. The reason for
this is that it is an up-to-date play. Most
OF the old romances are laid in remote
periods and are thereby enhanced in pic
turesqueness of costumlng and the en-
chantments lent by distance. This one
has an eighteenth century prologue, 1t
is true, but the play itself comes down to
modern times and plants the traditional
intrigue fairly upon the soil of modern Sc
curity.
The spirit of dArtagnan is infused into
the sluggish pulsatons of an 1894 Eng
lishman, and the thrill of his adventure
strangely enough, is not defeated by the
occasional glimpse of bicycle suit.
The plot and motive of the novel and the
play are too well known to require an ex-
tended description. First played at the
New York lyceum, where 1t was the great
success of the season, IL had several years
of prosperity on the road. Mr.. Howard
Noulut whose eActiSHt OF the
dual role OF Rassendyll and the King, has
added so much attractiveness to the play
in past seasons, is still in the company,
which also includes r. f. McClannin,
Vaughan CHASER, Holden Chandler, Dun
can Harris, Robert Corners, Benjamin
Monterth, Edgar Macgregor, and the
Misses Margaret Fuller, Nellie Strickland,
Amy Ricard, and others.

MINISTRIES will be the attraction. The
Harmonic -Four, a quartette of vo-

DEFAULTERs' LIST FILED.
About 1000 Voters Behind on Cit,
Taxes.


Taxes.
The city treasurer and the city marshal
complied yesterday with the recent legis-
lative act regulating Savannah's municipal
elections by jointly filing with the county
tax collector a book containing the names
of all persons in default to the city for
taxes.
The list is alphabetically arranged, and
occupies 199 pages of the book Some of
the pages contain only few names, while
others are filed out with score or more.
In all, il is estimated that there are about
1600 names on the list As the list in
cludes all the defaulters of recent years
it is certain that many of those whose
names are on the list are dead or have
removed from the city. The amount due
by defaulters varies from 81 to over $500
The list is chiefly of interest because of
the effect il nay have on the approaching
city election, Voters to be qualified for
this election must have paid all city as
wen as state and county taxes due bv
them 1t is said that several hundred of
those whose names are on the county reg

list, and that consequently they viii be
unable to vote unless their back dues TO
the city are settled before the election.

majority of these defaulters are voters
who are likely to be in sympathy with

quence their opponents are likely to find
