0'NEIL IN MONTE CRIST0.

James O'Neil presented Monte
Cristo" last night to a large audience
and an enthusiastic one-such an one
as gives inspiration to even poor play
ers. O'Neil was aware that he was
playing before friends. He was called
before the curtain twice during the
performance. AS Edmonde Dantes he
has been cast many a time. but Sa-
vannah Theater-goers never saw him
to better advantage than they did last
night. 1t is doubtful, however, IL he
has the opportunity in Monte Cristo'
that he has in THE Three Muske-
year ago and practically ran II through
the season in New York, Boston and
Chicago.
OF course, there is nothing new about
the play itself. Theater-goers are IA
miliar with the lines almost. In the
hands of other players IL would no
doubt take rank with much less popu-
lar pieces. One thing was noticeable
which made the play better. That
was the scenery. 1t is changed some
what and the most of 1t is new. From
a scenic standpoint 1t is doubtful II
there are many better things on the
American stage,
Mr.. ONeil's support is excellent. The
brunt of the work falls upon himself,

Other Matters Passed Upon at the

The Morning News was elected city

Council yesterday afternoon. Its bid
for the printing was below the other

The Third Division of Naval Militia
will share in the citys appropriation
for the white military. A delegation
from the division appeared before
Council to show why it should be rec
ognized in the division of the appro-
priation of $4,000. Lieut.. A. C. Carter
was the spokesman.
When the question of the division of
the appropriation was reached, AL
derman Dixon offered an amendment
to his resolution of the last meeting.
That resolution, as it was passed, ex-
cluded the naval militia from partic-
ipation in the appropriation. This ac-
ton was so amended as to include the
division. Each company was to have
received $3.50 during the year, but, by
the change, the division will be longer
and each of the thirteen white COM
panies of the city will receive one
thirteenth part of the appropriation
Alderman Watson's ordinance to pave
Stewart street was read the second
time, but, on motion of it's author. was
laid on the table.
resolution was introduced by AL
derman Dixon, setting forth the opin-
ion of Council that there should be a
sub-treasury of the United States at
Savannah, and extending its aid to the
movement to secure one. The resolu-
ton, which was unanimously adopted,
was as follows:
Whereas, there is now a bill be-
fore the Congress OF the United States
providing for the establishment at Sa-
vannah of sub-treasury of the United
States, and
Whereas, the geographical and
commercial situation of Savannah and
the business needs of the great ex-
tent of country tributary to it render
such branch of the treasury of great
value to it's varied commercial inter-
ests. therefore be it
Resolved, That the Mayor and AL
dermen of the city of Savannah, in
Council assembled, urge upon the SEN
ators and representatives from Georgia
their united support of this measure,
that the clerk of Council forward to
each of them copy of this action of
Council, and that the Mayor appoint
committee of three, of which he shall
be chairman, to unite with the commit
tees of the business bodies of the city
in securing the passage of this bill ?"
Alderman Dixon moved that COM
mittee be appointed by the Mayor for
the entertainment of the representa-
tives of the municipal government Of

will be en- route to the Charleston Elk
