Nav the Bes' Boat Win.

Sir Thomas Upton arrived at New
York Friday night on the Campania.
He received a most cordia! welcome. In
an interview he said: II fully appreciate
the talent and skill that is against us.
The Americans will do all in their power
to keep the trophy and we must do our
best. If we fail no blame will rest on us.
The best boat always wins in these in
ternational races. l will fight for the
cup just as hard as l can, but the good
wishes of Americans are dearer to me
than any cup in existence"

Doesn't Imply Un'riendliness.

Portugars action in permitting the
transit of the ammunition, consigned to
the Transvaal, by way of Delagoa bay
occasioned some surprise at first, but
after the action of the Cape government
and until an actual state of warfare ex-
lists, it is recognized that the Portu-
guese government could hardly have
acted otherwise. The British papers
now solace themselves with the remark
that England can easily prevent such
shipments, if crisis demands extreme
measures, and that the action of Portu-
gal does not imply unfriendliness to-
ward Great Britain.

To Skcpiical Asthmatics.

The truly marvellous cures OF Asthma
which have already been effected by Dr..
Rudolph Schiffmann, certainly call for
notice. His preparation (Schiffmann's
Asthma Cure), not only gives instant
relief in the most stubborn and obstinate
cases, but positively cures, in proof of
which hear what the Town Clerk at
Cavalier, N. D., Mr.. w. Sererus, says:
IL was troubled with asthma for 20
years, about Syears ago started to use
your Asthma Cure, and have not had an
attact for six years."

RosenthaI's Recital

Takes place Thursday afternoon, Feb. p,
at Savannah theater, and viii prove be-
yond question the greatest treat afforded
Savannahians for many years past.
The London Daily Mail says: "The
word genius is so freely used and
so frequently misapplied-s entirely fitting
for Rosenthaps work But Rosen-
thai is a great artist who can only be
compared with Liszt or Rubinstein.''
We predict an immense and an enthu-
siastic audience, for surely no real lover
of music can afford to miss such an op-
portunty.
Rosenthal recommends and uses exclu-
sively the Steinway piano, of which he
says: 1T is distinguished by its rare
beauty of tone-quality; tender, clear as
bell and far carrying in the treble; in the
middle octaves bright and singing like a
genuine Stradivarius. That 1 have used
your grands in ninety concerts and no re-
pairs We're necessary, speaks more bril-
liantly than any other proof for the du-
rability of their construction.
The old reliable Ludden & Bates South
ern Music House are Steinway & Sons
general Southern representatives and
have some charming examples of these
noble instruments in stock, which they can
supply at factory prices. Give them a call

Probably the smallest real estate trans
action that has ever taken place in sa-
vannah will be made this week, under en-
order granted yesterday by Judge FalM-
CANT in the Superior Court
The order was granted on
the motion of Mr.. NJ. G. Ehrlich
guardian of the property of Mildred Dill
Ion. minor, and authorizes him to sell the
northernmost three inches Of lot No. 3 of
the tract belonging to said minor, at Bull
and Ninth streets.
The petition of Mr.. Ehrlich TO the court
states that the city having determined 10
open Ninth street through TO the western
hne of Bull street, all of this lot will
be taken for this purpose with the exceD-
ton of the northernmost three inches.
Having had an offer for this strip from
the owner of the adjoining lot, Mr.. e. b.
Fitzgerald, Of IS 33, Mr. Enrich requested
the permission of the court to accent this
offer, stating that he considered the offer
fair one. and that if it should not be
accepted no opportunity might offer of dis
posing of it at any price hereafter.

from the Oglethorpe Savings ana Trust
Company on the property. in which lot 8
is included, he is directed by the order
OF the court. 20 turn over the amount
received for the strip to the Savings and

WEATHER AND THE CROPS.
Fruit in Danger From the Cold Pre-
dicted To-day

The damage to the fruit crop by the cold
of last Wednesday has been more serious
than was at first thought. The continued
warm and rainy weather that prevailed
throughout the month of January had
forced the fruit trees and buds TO higher
degree of maturity than they would other
wise have attained, and consequently they
were in condition to be affected by the
freeze. 1t is feared that the cold predicted

ed, it is slightly colder. North and north
west winds prevail throughout the coun-
