DERBY NOT INSANE.
Warrant Charging Lunacy Dismiss
ed by Jury.

eu Dy jury.
A jury in the Court of Ordinary yes
terday investigated the alleged lunacy
of George c. Derby, a painter. from
Pooler. and pronounced him sane. The
warrant was sworn out by the mans
wife, who was represented at the hear
ing by counsel.
Drs. Daniel, baltimore and White
testified that Derby has been suffering
with disease of the nervous system,
but that he is not a lunatic, and not
a mt subject for an insane asylum.
Mrs. Derby told of alleged unnatural
acts OF her husband and said that she
was afraid to live with him. A Pooler
physician also testified against him.
but the evidence was not very positive
The doctor who saw symptoms of a
dangerous form of insanity in the pa
tient did not like insinuations that were
made during the hearing, and had Dr.
Crowther sent for, to prove that he is
reputable physician, and thoroughly
able to properly diagnose a case. DR..
Crowther was present, but did not tes-
tify. 1t was held that no point had
oeen made on the ability of the Pooler
physician and DR.. Crowther remarked
that it is a delicate thing to testify as
to the qualities of a physician.
Mr.. Edward Derby, brother of the
defendant, was present and testified.
He stated his willingness to have his
brother properly treated, and intimat-
ed that there had been some sort of
conspiracy to place him in the asylum.
No direct charges were made against
anyone, but the jury was given to I'M
derstand that something was being left
unsaid. Judge Henry McAlpin presid-
ed at the investigation, and conducted
the examination. 1t was the first hear
ing had before the new ordinary. Mr..
Derby was released from custody and
turned over to his brother.

CROWDS WELL HANDLED.
Trolley Cars Got Them to the
Grounds in Good Shape.

The crowds that have left the city
for the State Fair grounds, during the
past ten days, have been we'll handled
by the Savannah, Thunderbolt and Isle
of Hope Railway and the Plant Sys-
tenn. The excellent schedule the Plant
System gave did much to relieve the
pressure on the trolley cars and the
management of the latter was beyond
reproach.
General Manager .McIntire deserves
credit for the manner in which the troll
ley service was handled. For a day or
two after the Fair opened there were
some unavoidable delays, but these
soon disappeared and the service given
was thereafter unexceptionable. Even
on the big days at the Fair when many
thousands of persons We're to be trans
ported to the grounds, they all found
accommodation and schedule was
maintained in fine shape.

Hoyt's "a Day and a Night"
Saturday Matinee and Night
"Tvvo Little VaGrants."
The State Fair certainly gave the
Theater a little boost, and the business
last week was probably better than
that Of any week this season. The Wis
iors to the city predominated in near
ly every audience.
There will be but three attractions
at the house this week. Clyde Fitch,
who is Just now the most popular
American playwright, wrote Nathan
Hale" which will open the week to-
morrow with two performances. Mr..
Howard Kyle, who was seen here in
the play last year, will again play the
titular role and will be supported by
a strong company.
Hoyt's "A Day and Night" which
follows Tuesday, is the last play writ
ten by the famous playwright. 1t has
been seen here before. and if the pre-
senting company is good, which is not
TO be doubted. it will be a pleasing
performance.
The Robertson Company, which has
been playing to good audiences since
Thursday, closed it's engagement with
two performances yesterday and last
night. The engagement was success
full and the performances gave gen.
eral satisfaction.
1t is stated that 1853 theatrical COM
panies have returned to New York,
having failed to achieve success on
the road, and a large percentage Of
these are rural plays.

has written a play that win endure.

the plot is remarkably direct and con-
vincing. The story hinges upon the eff
forts of a generous hearted woman to
conceal the infidelity of her sster-in-
law, and so doing the innocent woman
brings suspicion upon herself The last
scene brings everything to a satisfac-
tory conclusion, and the signal triumph
of imperiled' virtue over vice. The seen

scale as In previous presentations, and

Hints For Homemakers.

All rooms should possess certain
individuality by rejecting as far as
possible the tastes and habits OF the
people who occupy them. 1t is not
sufficient that they contain the ortho-
doX pieces Of furniture and that the
decorations are carried out in the best
style. They must have the finishing
touches which make all the difference
between a well furnished house and a
comfortable home. There is no eXag-
geration in saying that large majority
of houses lack those simple comforts
which are so essential and are ar
ranged exactly like some one else's in
stead of satisfying their own needs.
The great fear of doing something un-
usual seems ever with the ordinary
house decorator and furnsher. and
the result is that half the rooms we en-
ter are arranged on precisely the same
plan, and show no originality what
ever
Before deciding upon a scheme OF
decoration IL is very important 10 CON
slider the different purposes OF the
rooms and their aspects, and the same
style OF decoration should be used
throughout, while at the same time
great variety Of treatment can be in
trOduced without losing sight of the
purpose for which the rooms are in
tended. The hall should, as far as
possible. strike the keynote, but the
decoration here differs from that Of
the rooms inasmuch as it is not re
Quired so much rs a background for
furniture, but is in itself the chief dec
coration, and for this reason bolder
and broader effects are 10 be aimed
for. with n rich depth of color. In
every instance the walls must be con-
sdered as the background, and 1t is
all important 10 see thai it helps the
furniture to look it's best. 1t is a great
mistake to think that because the fur
niture is old ana by no means beauti-
full the background does not signify;
on the contrary, it is possible to tone
down many of the defects by the judi
cious use of an attractive wall decora-
tion.
Concerning the question OF color,
which is always a difficulty, it is safe
to say that the fewer the colors in the
room the more pleasing and restful the
effect. A too lavish use Of colors is as
much to be deprecated as monotony.
