BLAIR IN "WOFFINGTON."
Audience Was Not Large, but Was
Well Satisfied.

Miss Eugene Blair, supported. by
well-balanced company, gave a salts
flying Interpretation of dramatiza-
ton of Charles Reade's story, Peg
Wellington" at the Theater last night.
The audience was not large but it was
thoroughly pleased and showed its APP
probation of Miss Blair's and the COM
pany's efforts by frequent applause
Miss Blair's voice was in bad condi-
ton, but this did not detract greatly
from the performance, as her euuncia-
ton was distinct if not true. The
trouble is only slight and temporary,
and a specialist who she consulted
here, said her voice would be all right
in day or two.
Miss Blair has always been a favor
lite with Savannah theatergoers, and
the various roles which she has essay
ed have always been we'll thought Of
She is handsome and a good actress,
and her Peg Wellington" was thor
oughly pleasing and pretty. There is
not great deal in the play, but the
telling of 1t is pretty and interesting.
1t gives a glimpse of the actress as
she sometimes is, and showed that
Peg Wellington" was not all bad.
Mr.. Forbes and Mr.. Lessey were ca
pable in leading males roles. and Miss
Montell was charming as Mabel Vane
The other characters were we'll carried
and the costuming and staging were
appropriate and handsome.
The next attraction announced is
those famous funny boys, Murray and
Mack, at the Theater tomorrow matt
nee and night, in the second and best
edition of Shooting the Chutes.'
These reliable comedians have always
been laugh producers of first quality.
This year they come with new out
fit, scenery superb, company large,
! chorus pretty and staff of principals
comprising the six Sisters Leon, Miss
Kittie Beck, Blanche Creago Kath-
ryn Roberts, Francis Midgley, Edward
Powers, Messrs. Gus Pixley, Ed. West,
Jas. Fanson. Boulder and Griffin. AS
a singing organization it is promised
that Murray and Mack have eclipsed
all their previous efforts along this
line.
The concert to be given in the BAN
quet hall in the De Soto to- night by Mr..
F. H. Grafton, violinist assisted by a
number of Savannah singers, and an
elocutionist, promises to be most en-
joyable affair. and one that will be well

cree Of divorce had been granted. the
adopted children had been permitted to
select which of the parents they would,

OPERA CHORUS STRANDED.
Members of "The Idols Eye" Com
pany Are in a Bad Way.

pany Are in a Bad Way.
Some dozen or so members of Col.
w. A. Thompson,s Boston Lyric Opera
Company, which has been presenting
THE Idols Eye" on a tour of the
South, are stranded in Savannah. The
cast was made up of twenty-nine per-
sons when Savannah was reached.
Seven of these, including Manager C.
NJ. Murphy, returned to New York last
night via the Ocean Steamship Com
pany.
Yesterday morning Mr.. ]. r. Cain,
counsel for the Macon Opera House, re-
ceived instruction to have the COM
pany's property attached on a claim
of $40 The manager of the Macon
theater wired that he had expended
that sum in advertising the company,
which was to have appeared in that
city last night. Mr.. Cain was unable
to find anything that he could attach
and had a conference with Manager
Murphy The opera man had no funds
to pay the claim, and nothing was
done in the matter.
Mr.. Murphy stated that he would
have been able to make Macon and
other points for a week had it not been
for the attachment issued Saturday by
DEWITT, a member of the chorus. That
individual got $SS from the company S
treasury and put it out of business. Mr..
Murphys intention had been to cancel
future dates and play for week more
only In this way the management
would not have in anyway been liable,
and would have done that which is eX-
pected of all theatrical organizations
when dates are Cancelled. Mr.. Murphy
says that it was his purpose to have
given the cities in which the troupe
was booked the proper notice, but that
the money taken from the treasury
by DEWITT made this impossible.
Just what will become of the mem
bers of the company, who did not have
money enough to get away. and who
were unable to secure engagements
here, is not known. Manager Murphy
stated before his departure that only
some 5000 is due members of the chorus
He said that if he had been in posses
sion of funds he would have taken the
stranded people TO New York. where
they would be sure of securing employ
ment.
Alex Joel, who played the Scotch
kleptomaniac, and Miss Marion Rae. as
the lieutenant, secured an engagement
at the Casino and will be seen at Thun-
derbolt this week. A team and tive
women managed to catch on at Gill
IDEAS Alhambra. and the others are
loating.

RICE CROP WOULD SUFFER.

Among no class of Savannahians has
the threatened storm caused more in

those interested in rice growing or the
marketing of that crop. The crop is
about two weeks late this season, stat

a NTH of the crop, at the outside, has
been got out of the fields. and a storm
at this time would mean the loss of

TO REDUCE PRODUCTION.
Committee Naval Stores Operators
Circulating Among Factors.


A committee, representing the naval
stores operators, who met in Jackson
Vile recently, was here yesterday cir
culating among factors in the interest
of the resolutions passed at the meet
ing to restrict the cutting of pine trees
so per cent. Practically all the factors
were called on. Some of them are de-
sirous of also getting the cooperation
of the operators in the Gulf section,
as without their aid the operators in
this section will only be feathering the
nest of the others in reducing produce
ton. Unless all join in the movement
to lessen production, Their is no reason
to expect success. That is the way
many of the factors are inclined to re-
gard it. One factor said he wanted to
hear from the Gulf territory before
committing himself on the matter.

THE EPIU ElMIG

I New Haven is going through an ex- | perience which will cause a great deal of learned discussion before it is over and after it is over It will also cause
 expense. There are now more than two
 hundred cases of typhoid fever in this well-ordered and usually healthful
 place, and there are no sure signs that the epidemic has reached it's height Not long ago there was similar epi-
 demic in Philadelphia after rain, and
 the same cause seems to be back of the
 sickness here that was talked of there.
 Some of the doctors here think that
 the sickness is traceable to one spot.
 This may be so, but it Is also reasonable
 to suppose that if the typhoid bacillus
 is what it is said to be it has been
 washed into the water supply from va-
 rious places. When the first heavy frozen ground, and the earth badly needed washing. It had been un- commonly dry for almost year, and the bacilli were perhaps more numer- ous and more distributed than some have thought. However this may be, the situation is a very serious one, and demands all the skill and care there are to combat it. If Dr. Dibble were alive perhaps he would scatter a crumb of comfort, or at least uncertainty, by laughing at the bacillus theory as it has been set forth by some of the doc tors in the present case. But until we know better there is nothing better to do than to do as we are told by those who are supposed to know It is cer- tainly conducive to safety to boil the water before drinking and take pains to keep the general health in as good condition to resist disease as possible And above all don't get scared. Per- haps fear doesn't tempt the typhoid ], bacillus to attack the fearful one, but it does tend to lower the vitality of the | fearful one, and is therefore to be avoided.

VICTORIA.

Lecky, the Historian. Writes of the
 Queen as a Moral Force
 , She was great ruler, but she was also to the last a true, kindly. simple minded woman, retaining With undi- unfinished intensity all the warmth of q most afectionate nature, all the sound- ness of a most excellent Judgment. Brought up from childhood in the arti- ficial atmosphere of a court; called, while still a girl, to the isolation of a throne; deprived, when her reign had yet forty years to run of the support and counsel of her husband, she might well have been pardoned if she often found herself out of touch with large sections of her people, and had viewed life through a false medium or in no de- gree exaggerated when he said that if he wished to ascertain the feelings and opinions of the English people. and es-

Multitudes to whom she had before
 been little more than name now rea- lized that she was one with whom they
 mad very much in common. Her evil dent longing for sympathy produced an
 immediate response. Her deep domes- tic affection, her constant interest ill
 her servants, her high spirits, her love
 of scenery, her love of animals, her power of taking delight in little things, arpear, vlvidly in her rag s, and came
 home to the largest classes of her peo-
 pie.
 1 In some respects the queen was an eminently democratic sovereign. While
 maintaining the dignity of her position,
 rank and wealth were in her eyes al-
 ways subordinate to the great realities of life and to true human affections. l In no one was the touch of nature that makes the whole world kin more con- stantly visible. She was never more | In her place than in visiting some poor tenant on the morrow of great be- Ireavenent, CT uttering words of com fort by the sickbed of some humble de- pendent. Men of all ranks whoN came in contact with her were struck with Ter lHOugHLIu1 klnuHeSS, anu HGI IUyo ol gift of an excellent memory never showed itself more frequently than in the manner in which she remembered and inquired after the fortunes and happiness of obscure persons related to those with whom she spoke.
 Her religious opinions were brought very little before the public. Beyond deep sense of Providential guidance and of the comforting power of religion, lit- tie is to be gathered from her pub lished uttsrances; but she seemed equally at home in the Scotch Presbyte- rian and the Anglican Episcopal church, and her marked admiration for such men as Dean Stanley and Norman Mac leod, and for the preaching of Princi- pal Caird, gives some clew to the bias of her opinions. Her mind was not speculative, but eminently practical, and while she patronized good works of the most varied kinds, there is reason to believe that those which most ap- pealed to her personal feelings were those which directly contributed to al- leviate the sufferings or promote the material welfare of the poor.

SOME MORE UNCERTAINTY.

| If there was anything certain in this | uncertain world it was that Woman
 would make a large improvement in
 school management if she were allowed 1 to take part in it. And it was more 1 than certain that the women of Boston
 would. But what has happened? Let 1 G. W. Anderson of Boston tell. He | tells in the Atlantic.
 l Boston women were given the right 1 to vote for school committeeman in | the hope and expectation that they
 would bring the home" into the man
 agement of the public schools, and that they would purify and ennoble political these results have not been accomplish
 ed up to the present time One of the
 chief results of woman suffrage in
 school affairs In Boston, il is alleged. is
 an increase of race and sectarjan big otry." In 1887 only 725 women voted in
 the election of that year. In 1888 there
 was violent sectarian controversy
 over Swintons History, and 19,940 wo-
 men cast their votes This extraordi- nary increase MT. Anderson regards as indicative of ''woman's capacity and liking for religious and sectarian con- fict" The few women who do regis ter and vote, he asserts, are largely un- der the domination of leaders, with whom the test of official excellence is found more in religious bigotry and in a willingness and capacity to flatter and follow these self-constituted lead CTS than in straightforward and able performance of public duty" Never theless, he is confident that the female vote will be valuable in time, especial ly in preventing the "Tammanyizing of the Boston public school administra~ tion.
 Nor does MT. Anderson attach a high value to the services of women as mem bers of school boards. He asserts that ! those who have taken an active part in | school affairs did not move on a plane | any higher than that along which male | effort acts. He charges the Boston wo- .

THE BOLD HERE KAMpE.

Bold people seem to be after the
 North Pole in earnest. Several expedi- tions will scon start for 1t, and there are several ingenious schemes for reaching it. The boldest and most in genious Is that of Herr Kampe, who proposes to make dash for the Pole in a submarine boat now actually be- ing built at Wilhelmshaven submerg- ing 1t at the edge of the ice surround ing spitzbergen and continuing in it as long as the ice pack is found to be unbroken The craft can remain sub merged for fifteen hours and in that time travel fifty miles,, while the pro- moter believes that the ice pack does not extend continuously in any direc- ton for more than five miles. The lit tie vessel will be able to descend one hundred and sixty feet, and Herr Kampe's theory is that the ice is not more than twenty feet thick.
 If possible this scheme Is even bolder than that of Andree, who started for the Pole in a balloon and hasn't been heard from since. If Herr Kampe real ly starts on his submarine journey it is to be hoped that he will find the open spaces he believes in or turn around before it is too late. It would be terrible fate to be lest in a sub marine boat under polar ice.
