The Great Northwest's First
White Child.

One Of the most remarkable proofs Of
the amazing growth of that vast region
of our country commonly called the
Northwest, with its numerous sister.
hood of states. and its population Of
more than seven million people. is the
fact that 1t is only y little more than
eighty years since the first white baby
was born there. The child was a girl,
the daughter of a regular army officer,
and she 10 still living. A fascinating
account Of her eventful life, the early
wears of which were spent among SOL
diers and savages. will appear in m

TWO YEARS ON THE GANG.
Negro shopIifter Convicted on Two
Charges in City Court.

May White, alias May Davis, local
negro shoplifter of some disrepute, was
sent from the criminal session of the
City Court yesterday to the chaingang,
to serve sentences aggregating two
years. She had been detected and ar
rested at the time of her most recent
business exploits.
The charges against her were pre-
ferred by Mr.. Leopold Adler and
Messrs. Foye & Eckstein, and on each
charge she was tried separately. From
Adler's she had lifted half dozen
pairs of boys trousers, and from Foye
& Eckstein's two skirts and a pair of
towels. The value of the goods, for
stealing which she was placed on trial,
was relatively small, but many other
cases could have been brought against
her had the officers of the court so de-
sired.
There were two charges of larceny
from the house, and on each Judge
Norwood found the woman guilty and
sentenced her to pay a fine of 800
and costs or serve twelve months on
the changing of the county.
Three little negro boys, Willie Small,
No. /; Willie Small, No. 2, and Daniel
Washington were all sent to the gang
for six months. They were charged
with stealing tobacco and cigarette pa
pers from the fruit stand of George
Carellas. and they acknowledged their
guilt. In response to a question asked
by the solicitor general, one of the two

as that individual could get out of
sight. He confessed his guilt and
Judge Norwood sentenced him to spend
six months on the gang.
There were a number of other prison
ers and in every case there was either
a plea of guilty or Judge Norwood
found the defendant guilty at the trial
The whole proceeding consumed less

and the washes, douches, powders and
inhalers in common use are very little,
IL any. better than the old fashioned
salt water douche.
The use of inhalers and the applica-
ton of salves, washes and powders to
the nose and throat to cure catarrh is
no more reasonable than to rub the
back to cure kidney disease. Catarrh
is Just as much a blood disease as kid
ney trouble or rheumatism and it can
not be cured by local treatment any
more than they can be.
To cure catarrh, whether in the head
throat or stomach an Internal antisep-
tic treatment Is necessary to drive
the catarrhal poison out of the blood
and system, and the new catarrh cure
is designed on this plan and the re-
markable success of Staurt's Catarrh
Tablets is because being used Internal
ly, it drives out catarrhal infection
through action upon stomach, liver and
bowels.
VIM. Zimmerman of st. Joseph, re-
lates an experience with catarrh which
is of value to millions of catarrh suf-
ferers everywhere. He says: Il neglect
ed a slight nasal catarrh until II gradu-
ally extended to my throat and bron-
chial tubes and finally even my
stomach and liver became affected. but
as / was able to keep up and do a
days work l let il run along until my
hearing began TO fail me and then i
realized that l must get rid of catarrh
or lose my position as l was clerk and
my hearing was absolutely necessary.
Some OF my friends recommended an
inhaler another a catarrh salve, but
they were no good in my case, nor was
anything else until heard of Stuart's
Catarrh Tablets and bought package
at my drug store. They benefited me
from the start and in less than four

catarrh although 1 had suffered nearly

THE DOCTORS
ARE COMING
TO SAVANNAH.
Three Months Services Will Be Given
Free to All Invalids Who Call
Before November 9,

A STAFF of eminent physicians and
surgeons from the British Medical In
stitute have, at the urgent solicitation
of a large number of patients under
their care in this country, decided to
establish a permanent branch of the
Institution in this city.
A location has already been secured
at 10 York Street, west, Henderson
Building, opposite Postoffice.
The Office will be open and ready to
receive patients next Wednesday
morning, at o'clock.
These eminent gentlemen have de-
cided to give their services entirely
free for three months (medicine ex-
cepted) to all invalids who call upon
them for treatment between now and
November 9. These services consist
not only of consultation, examination
and advice, but also of all minor sur
gical operations.
The object in pursuing this course Is
to become rapidly and personally ac-
quainted with the sick and afflicted,
and under no conditions will any
charge whatever be made for any SER
vices rendered for three months, to all
who call before November 8.
The doctors treat all forms of disease
and deformities, and guarantee cure
in every case they undertake. AT the
first interview a thorough examination
is made, and, if incurable, you are
frankly and kindly told so; also advised
against spending your money for use
less treatment.
Male and female weakness. catarrh
and catarrhal deafness, also rupture,
goitre, cancer, all skin diseases, all dis
eases of the rectum, are positively
cured by their new treatment.
The chief associate surgeon or the
Institute will be in personal charge.

AT THE THEATER.
Miss Thurston's Pronounced Success
in 'sweet Clover"

Miss Thurston's Pronounced Success
in "Sweet Clover"
Miss Adelaide Thurston made her
bow as a star in Savannah last night
There is no questioning the impression
she made. Her success was immedi-
ate and distinct From the time she
appeared until the conclusion of the
pretty play she had the sympathy and
appreciation of the audience. The au-
dience liked Miss Thurston and the
play and did not fail to show its APP
probation by frequent applause and
several curtain calls.
The play which was chosen to launch
Miss Thurston as a stellar light in the
theatrical armament is pretty one,
sweet and pure and wholesome, and with
a vein of comedy running through II
that serves as a sort of leaven. The
plot and story have been given IN
these columns. The play is clev-
erly constructed and the char
acters are all interesting types
that seem to At in nicely. 1t is
not what might be called a strong
play, rather sweet and pretty is the
description that should be given 1t.
Miss Thurston is not stranger to
the theater- goers Of Savannah. When
she appeared mere DIS LdQy DdOOlC
in 1.-THE Little Minister" several years
ago she made a splendid impression.
Her Characterization of the role made
femous by Maud Adams, was so ex-
cellent that those who saw her remem-
bered her name. Last season she was
seen in a good part with Mrs LIE
Moyne, so when she comes this season
she is welcomed not as a newcomer,
but as an old friend who has won new
laurels.
Miss Thurston is one of the best and
most charming actresses on the Amer
lean stage to-day. This seems strong,
but as the local spellbinders would say,
it is said advisedly. She is beautiful in
face and person, has voice tender,
earnest and full of sweetness. Her act
ing is rich in expression and like her
voice is capable of the gayest humor
or the deepest emotion. There is no
straining for effect; it all comes so nat
urally, which after all, is the sign of
true talent. Notwithstanding this how
ever, her work is painstaking and she
held the audience every moment of the
time she was on the stage.
The company supporting Miss Thurs
ton is strong in every part. Otis B.
Thayer who interpreted the role of
Jerome Holcombe, was/excellent AS
the loving father, whose very life was
wrapped in his daughter, he was pic
turesque and honest. Mr.. Percival as
Eldridge Grosvenor, and Mr.. Hope as
Albert Hade. were both strong and
Fred G.. Hearn was inimitable as Joe
Mason. who took thirty years to
frame a proposal of marriage. Edgar
Ford played Jack Hamilton happily,
and Minnie Maude Adams played the
opposite to him with charm and
naivete. Eleanor Sheldon was an old
maid of not too severe type, and her
work made much humor.
Miss Thurstons success was COM
plete, and the play and performance
were much enjoyed. It will be repeat
| ed at a matinee this afternoon, and
| again tonight. 1t is we'll worth see
| ing.
