The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1899-03-26

The closing week of Lent brings a va
riety of amusement instead of a, lack of
them. as is usually the case during holy
week.
Tomorrow night THE Little Minister
will be presented for the first time in Sa-
yannah. The productions under the direc-
Hon of Charles Frohman. The play itself
&c known to almost every theater-goer
though either through itself or Barrie's
novel of which it is dramatization. 1t has
GAINED its favor by reason of its pure, and
charming and simple love story, told in
the same fascinating way on the stage
that Mr. Barrie told 1t in the book. Lady
Babbie, roguish and bubbling over with
mischief and fun and a true little heart is
its heroine, and the play presents her
ufe-nke as if she had just stepped out of
the pages of the novel, An the quaint and
picturesque characteristics of the Thrums
elders and their associates are preserved in
the mimic panorama of Scotch life, and
the little minister is the veritable ordained
Young gentleman himself, as interesting
and sentimental as Lady Babbie found
han.
The first scene of 1.-THE Little Minister
is Caddam Woods, where Lady Babbie, in
red gown and with roam berries in her
hair surprises Gavin Dishart, the little
minister, in the road. There has been trou-
bic between the weavers of the town and
the soldiers, and a signal of warning has
been agreed upon which win apprise the
offending community of the approach of
the red coats. The signal is the blowing
of a horn. Babbie gets the little minister
10 blow the horn, and then follows the

An Unusual Number Turned Out by
the Courts Here Recently.


Christopher G.. Dahl, a former subject

ance to the Queen Of Great Britain and
ireland, were made citizens OF the United
States I'm the Superior Court yesterday.
Mr.. Dahl is a well-known business man
of this city. while Mr. Wilson Is a resi-
dent of Thunderbolt
The courts have been turning out new
citizens at the rate of one and two day
for the last several weeks, which Is a
rather rapid production for this part OF
the country, This Is said to be due to
the fact that many of the discharged vol
unteer soldiers who we're foreign born,
are re-enlisting In the regular army, one
of the requirements Of the regular SER
vice being that all enlisted men shall be-
citizens OF the United States.

KIMBERLY BOMBARDED.
Beers Fired Shells all Day on November 1 j..
Did But Little Damage-One Woman

| Beers Fired Shells all Day on November j 1.
Did But Little Damage-One Woman
| Killed.
| KIMBERLEY, Saturday, November
II, via runner to Orange River.-The
Beers bombarded Kimberley again at
| BIS o'clock this morning, Smelling the
town briskly until els a. m. from
three positions. Subsequently they
maintained desultory fire until IT'S
o'clock.
One she'll killed a poor old Kaffir
| woman in the street and another fell
on the roof of barn, partially wreck
ing the building but not injuring any
of the. inmates. Six shells were fired
against the water works, but fell in the
reservoir. Several artillerymen in the
| fort there had close shaves.
Our guns replied at long range, and at
least two shells are believed to have
found their mark, as the fire of the
Beers in that direction was effectually
silenced.
Several of the enemy's shells fell in
the native compound and the inmates
Immediately rushed to dig them up.
Several others landed upon the mine
floors, but did no damage.
The bombardment freshened from 10
O'Clock until noon, the fire being direct
ed at Ottos kopje, whence our patrol
at dawn had fired upon a Boer detach-
ment, koncking down six of their
horses Our casualties were one police
man MORALLY wounded and a light
horseman slightly wounded.
The patrol fired cody and steadily until
the Beers dispersed.
A second patrol engaged the enemy, but,
meeting superior force, was compelled
to retire, losing two horses.
The Beers fired quite three hundred
shells to-day. The cases were dated from
1891 to 1896. The enemy have at least
eight guns.
The prisoners they recently captured and
conveyed to Bloemfontein had their arms
pinioned behind them and were t;ed 10 the
trekchain of an OK wagon remaining thus
throughout the entire night, until their
removal the next day.
The Beers are again busy blowing up
railroad culverts. The heavy lombard
ment was renewed at $40 o'clock this af-
ternoon from two positions. Our guns are
now replying. The enemys shells are
falling harmlessly. though the artillery
men have found the range.
The weather is fine and warm.

THE COMPARTMENT OF KIM
BERLEY-A BOER RUSH ON EST
COURT REFUSED.
LONDON, November 1S.-The latest
news from the seat of war in South
Africa is, from one view point, favor
able to the British, showing that Kim
berley is able to hold its own easily
against the Boer bombardment and
that Estcourt is also in position TO
beat back an attack by the Boer force
now facing it. But, on the other hand,
the advices pay testimony to the cease
less activity Of the burghers on the
Free State frontier and their determine
ton to cut off relief from Ladysmltn,
and if possible to isolate or capture
Estcourt, which is the nearest town to
Ladysmith still held by the British.
A number of small Boer commanders
from the east and west are converglng
on Estcourt and the railroad just south
of that place The Beers already aggre-
|
which they evidently, from the en-
trenchments they are throwing up,
mean to mount on hills dominating any
advance north from Estcourt, where
Gen. Hildyard is still commanding.
Even with the strong relief column
now hurrying up from Durham the Brit
ish will have tough job to pierce the
Boer forces thrown across the roads to
LadJsmith while crossing the Tugela
riven on pontoon bridges in the face
of the Boer artillery and rifles fired
from the northern ridges commanding
the rivers will probably prove one OF
the stiffest enterprises Cf the war.
The full story of the armored train
disaster has brought into relief num-
Der of cases of individual gallantry.
Among them is that of a crack rifle
shot named Caegenhead, who furnish
ed the range at three different points
for the crew of the train and kept fir
ing until his trigger finger was shot
away.
An old veteran named Crow was con-
spicuous in bravery in helping to clear
the derailed trucks. Winston Churc-
hill amid a hail of bullets, turned to
him and shook his hand, calling him
brave old man. Another case was that
Fof volunteer named Wright, who dur
ing the firing knelt in the regular posi-

From the Free State frontier comes
news that reinforcements are rapidly
arriving at the Orange river camp,
where Lord Methuen is hurriedly pre-
pairing to push relief force on to
Kimberley.
The Scots Guards arrived from Cape
Town on Thursday and the relief force
ought now to be almost strong enough
to tackle the Beers besieging the
town.
