DOUBTFUL ABOUT GOODS.
Savannah LEGISLATORS Lack Enthus-
iasm for Senator ChappeIPs Bill.


The proposition to amend the law
creating the University of Georgia. by
providing that the University shall be
open to female ais well as male stu
dents, which has been embodied in a
bill that has already been introduced
in the Senate. has excited no particu-
lar enthusiasm in Savannah.
Mr.. Otis Ashmore, superintendent OF
schools for Chatham county and a
man who has given this matter Of CO.
education much consideration. was
seen by a Morning News reporter yes
terday. Mr.. Ashmore was not anxious
10 discuss the newly introduced bill,
SAYING that it was a matter that had
been brought frequently TO the atten-
ton OF the people of the state OF Geor-
gia During Mr.. Ashmore's recollection,
there was scarce a session OF the Cen
eral Assembly at which such a meas
ure had not been discussed.
1.-THE question:" said Mr.. Ashmore,
resolves Itself into a matter OF mon
ey. In the abstract l am in favor OF
coseducation. but l doubt whether the
experiment would be successful In
Georgia. II has been demonstrated that
the state has not enough money TO ed

elaborate Shakesperian productions in
recent years, no presentation of a
Shakespeare play during the past de-
cade will compare in its association
with great players, with the coming
performance of Henry VIII, in which
these celebrated artists are to appear.
Savannah Elkdom will be at it's
brightest at the Theater tonight.
Everything has been done to make
the merry burlesque of Romeo and
Juliet" right royal treat for young
and old.
The enthusiasm displayed by the
cast, as well as the members of the
lodge, leaves no doubt that the Elks,
with their families and their many
friends, will fill the Theater to enjoy
an evening of fun and catchy music
rendered by a well-trained chorus of
fifty voices and more, and representing
the best of the city's talent from a
vocal standpoint.
There are said to be many happy
surprises in store and the principals IN
their acting will give a good account
of themselves.
Mr.. John Edgar Owens, author OF
| the burlesque and himself a clever &C
tor has worked diligently, and his
| coaching has been we'll accepted, and
play. His amiable and good natured
| disposition and the hard work he has
| put in have made friends of all the
| boys.
The first act bristles with swords and
excitement. The second act is full OF
| fun and the banquet a scene of abso-
| lutte hilarity. The surprises in the
| third act bring on scenes which will
| bring down the house. The fourth act
| the work of the friars, the wedding and
then the sudden clash of Mercutio and
| Tybalt. which ends in two fatal duels
The fifth act, with its mourning
changed to joy at the resurrection of
the deceased and slain, winds up in
one grand inspiring chorus-"Star
Spangled Banner" in parody.
The chorus singing is all very fine.
The costumes arrived from Philadel-
phia yesterday and were used at last
nights rehearsal. They are all very
elaborate and costly and will appear
all they were expected.
A ma tinee will positively be given
tomorrow at popular prices, an6 the
show will last be seen tomorrow II hit.
The sale of tickets is said to have been
very large. Since the entire cast is
composed of local talent and the reve-
nue. of the play goes to the Elk's char
ity fund, the people of Savannah will
undoubtedly we'll patroniZe the show
and it is not feared that they will be
disappointed. 1t has been big I'M
dertaking but the Elks will certainly
carry it out, a credit not only to them
selves, but also to the musical talent
and the intelligence of the people.

MIDWAY DID BUSINESS.
Crowds Took in the shows of the
Carnival Company.

Crowds Took in the shows of the
Carnival Company.
The Midway began showing early in
the afternoon, and there and at other
pay features Of the Fair was where
the wisdom of having the soldiers as
guests was seen. The soldier boys spent
their money freely, taking in every
thing that came their way. They did
much for the success of the first day.
Among the best of the attractions at
the Midway is the Statue Turning to
Life, very beautiful and strange IL
fusion. Miss Francis Thompson, who IS
the handsomest woman yet seen with
a Midway attraction at Savannah,
poses. Ladies and children are espe-
cially pleased with the show, which Is
perfect in its refinement and free from
the slightest suggestion. 1t is a per-
lection OF the showman's art IN its par
ticular line.
The wild animal show is another Of
the principal and most popular attrac-
lions. The others please, but the con-
census OF opinion among visitors Is
that the two named lead All should
be taken in, but. when one has but lit
tie time and not very much money to
spend on the Midway. he should see the
statue and the wild animals, II no
others.
The muscle dance never fails TO draw
a crowd. and IL is presented In all its
wild abandon Of motion. Principally
masculine are the audiences that gath
er to be edited by display OF the
manners and customs OF the Orient.
Dana Thompson does the high diving
for the Midway. while Kearney Speedy
is on the outside, his tower being erect
ed within the race track enclosure.
Speedy, therefore, 10 on the free list
lie will dive twice a day from his high
tower as viii Thompson. who will be
seen IN Savannah Tor the FIRST time
His work differs from Speedy's, in that
he turns sOmersaults, while Speedy
defcends head first. Neither dived yes
terdsy. but u f. expected that each
VIII dive twice to-day.
The entire Midway Will be IN better
working order to-day. About . day n
required for The shows % settle down
70 their best business after a TIP on
TIE road.

THE MORNING NEWS BUREAU.
A Center of Interest in the Educa-
tionaI Department.

tiOnnI Department..
The Morning News Bureau next to
the pbulic schools exhibit was proba-
bly, the most largely visited place in
the fine arts and educational building.
1t is unquestionably the most unique
and handsomely arranged and appoint
ed display While including an inter-
esting exhibit of the work of the
Morning News printing house, it is in
tended as a bureau of information and
headquarters for all visitors to the
Fair.
One OF its chief features is the dis
play of gifts, a 1901 model Cleveland
bicycle, The News sewing machine, and
the forty volumes Of fiction, besides
the Daily, Sunday and Weekly News,
which will be given away on the last
day OF the Fair to visitors who have
registered at the bureau.
The reading tables have the files of
the leading state papers and the cor.
respondence table is supplied with sta
tionery for the convenience of visitors.
The Southern Bell Telephone which
the company placed in the bureau is
an appreciated convenience that is
largely taken advantage of.
Gov. Gambler and the members of his
party visited the bureau and spent
some time there on their way through
the buildings. The weather service,
furnished through the courtesy of
Forecast Official Boyer, Is a feature
that the visitors appreciate. The bull
letins were closely watched yesterday.
The daily crop and forecasts and fore
cast flag will be posted and
displayed during the Fair. The Morn
ing News invites all its friends TO visit
its headquarters.

ZIEGLER'S SHOWS FINE.
He Has n List of Attractions That
VIII Please.

Zeigler's night shows were put on as
he promised. and their frst produc-
ton last night entirely satisfied the
Amusement Committee of the Fair d.
rectors. They were up to the contract.
The stage lighting was faulty, there
being insufficient arc lights, but more
will be placed to-day so that the acts
will take place in greater radiance.
Fitzpatrick, the dare devil is easily
the star of the entire production, but
all are good. His tricks with the wheel
excite applause, but the crowning fea-
ture of his work is his wild dash down
the stairway, IS feet high, inclined at
IS degrees. On either side Of the stair
way runs row of vari- colored mean
descent lights, which are turned on
throughout the performance. When
Fitzpatrick is ready to ride his wheel
, down the perilous run, the lights are
! supplemented by the glare of Greek
fire, vari- colored, so that 1t is a thrill
, ing and pyrotechnic spectacle TO see
the wheel and man whirl down to the
track. 1t is over in moment. There is
. the hail from the rider that he is COM
ing. and then is seen the fash OF his
rapidly moving wheel and the CLEAN
of his red coat, while the whir OF the
wheels reaches the ear to convince the
eye IL COHNICIiOii 10 HtcQcu, lndJ IL -
at a frightful rate OF speed the bicycle

Fitzpatrick made two rides one In the
afternoon and one at night Each day
he will make this his programme. and
he can safely count upon large audi
ences. Seeing him ride once does not
remove the desire to see him again,

Arabs feats of strength are also
meritorious.

Savannah in many years was present

night of the Fair. Many set pieces

the race track the Governor returned
to the grandstand with Mr.. Owens. He
excused himself from making the trip
to Tybee, saying that he was suffering
with a severe cold and did not care to
expose himself to the breezes.
Hundreds of people shook the Gov
ernor by the hand during his stay on
the grounds. Many knew him already
and the others wer equally welcone.
For all there was a pleasant word. A
more democratic Governor it would he
hard to imagine The idea of avoiding
the crowd or shutting himself Oft in
any way from the people never seemed
to occur to him.
After the departure of the legislative
party Gov Gambler and Mr.. Owens re-
turned to the De Soto, where the Gov
ernor had dinner, and then went to his
room for a rest.
Pleased with Everything.
When seen at the De Soto by a
Morning News reporter Gov. Gambler
expressed himself as highly delighted
with his trip to Savannah and his mis-
sion here.
II believe that Savannah has got the
best State Fair that we have ever
had" he said, land l trust that 1t will
be the most successful. The prepara-
lions Tor the f'alr are exceedingly sat
isfactory, and I do not see how more
could have been expected. Tho race
track is a splendid one. and I was as
tonished to see the very large number
of horses which you have gathered
here. In the matter of agricultural ex-
hibits the Fair is ahead Of any that !
have ever attended. and / am in
formed by officers of the society that
the exhibits of this class are
the best they have ever had. You
seem to have all the usual attractions
and / see no reason why you should
not have very largely attended and a
very successful fair. The people like
to come to Savannah and with the adj
ded attraction of the Fair YOU should
draw great crowd" -
Gov. Gambler expressed regret that
he could not make his stay longer. but
said that his official duties would make
it necessary for him to return at once.

Mr.. tombstone as the Duke de Mon
trazon, and Mr.. Herman as LAYER
ennes, were both excellently cast and
cared for their roles in a fine manner.
Mr.. John L. Hynes as Fanfaranade
did some character work of a good or
der.
Miss Virginia Drew Prescott and Miss
May Warde were both creditable in
their parts. Miss Antoinette Ashton
was perhaps not fully equal to the role
of Madeline
1t is a veritable treat to witness a
production like Mr.. Warde's THE
Mountebank." 1t is worthy of the high
est support and appreciation.
The production of the Merchant of
Venice" and Henry VIII" with Mad
anne Modjeska and Louis James at the
head of the cast, as announced for
Saturday afternoon and night, is an
event looked forward to by the casual
and regular play-goer alike. The ap-
pearance of Modjeska alone, whose
eminence In tragic, romantic and
emotional roles. is recognized the world
over, would in itself be of suhclent i'm
portance to call for more than ordinary
comment Now that she is associated
with Louis James, however, the i'm
portance attaching TO her appearance
is greatly enhanced, for in the dramatic
contention OF the play, she is assured
of an opponent worthy Of her genius.
AS Portia, Madame Modjeska gives
a rendition that is clean-cut. and her
remarkable versatility that has so
frequently surprised both her critics
and her audiences. have made her per-
haps the most popular actress OF the
present decade OF the legitimate stage.
Mr.. James ha = a following that IL

Mr.. Frederick Warde, appeared IN Sa-
vannah last night in THE Mounte-

company played to a critical ana dis
eliminating audience that enjoyed 10
the utmost the fine production. AT the
conclusion of the third act Mr.. Warde
was so cordially applauded that he
stepped before the curtain and thanked
the audience in a graceful little speech.
1t gave him much pleasure, he said, TO
return after an absence Of some seasons
and find that he had not been torsot-
ten.
The authorship of 1.-The Mountebank'
has never been entirely settled, though
II is generally credited to DEnnery'
II is a romantic play in four acts, deal
ing with scenes and periods OF the time

There is a great deal in the play. II
has vein of human interest and deals
with the feelings, passions, intrlgues
and foibles of life and living characters
IN so natural a manner that touches
the heart and holds the interest OF the
auditor.
