Charleston sent over delegation of

greatly liked, and it is the hope of
Savannahians that they will come for
the shoot next year. Capt. T. t. Hyde

AT THE THEATER

Chris and Lena" which opened the
season of 1902-1903 at the Savannah
Theater last night, is a four-act melo-
dramatic comedy of the olden style, in
which the villain is thwarted at the
close of each act, but hobs up serenely
in the next, and is finally. disposed of
before the last curtain. The play is so
old that all accurate records of its age
have been lost. 1t is a favorite though,
and was new to Savannah theater-
goers. 1t was greeted by a good house
downstairs, and gallery which was
packed to overlooking, and which APP
plauded to the finish.
The part of Chris" the German
apprentice. who is continually rescu-
ing his masters daughter, and who
marries Lena" the daughter of
brewer, who owns three brick build
ings," was played by Pete Baker. Ba-
ler was assisted by John Kernel, an
Irish comedian well known here. His
part was small, but he got as much
out of it as was possible, introducing
= monologue which was the best thing
in the show.
Several pleasing musical numbers
We're interspersed, including a new
Song of Nations" which was sung
by Baker in the last act. The
most catchy song of all, however was
''Sophy from SaXony," sung by Joseph
Farron.
Baker is an old-timer and came in
for his share of applause, as did Miss
Miller, who played the brewers
daughter.
The theater itself looks bright and
attractive and the changes that have
been made will be appreciated by its
patrons. Manager Seeskind and his
entire staff greeted them on the open
ing night.
the races who has a scolding wife,
shrewish mother-in-law, or a bad
toothache, will find solace in seeing
Bobie Ralston as Alec, the Yellow
Kid when he comes next Friday mat
inee and night, in "McFaddens Row
of Flats" of which Mr.. Gus Hill has
issued an edition de luxe, beautifully
prepared this season for those who
may or may not have seen it before.
MIR. Ralston is only his own rival. He
even makes himself laugh when he has
time to think of what he has done. At
any rate he can change a sour DISPOSE
ton into happy one while he has
the subject before him. Seats will go

Matinee, 80 and % cents; night, 81,

Clearly, therefore, this change in
the surplus is mainly to be accounted
for by increase d expenditure in main
tenance accounts, which was SAL per
mile in way and $50 in equipment.
Can it be said that this SAL per mile
in way represents much more than the
increase in cost of labor and mate
rails? In any event. there cannot be
said to be a great deal of improvement
work therein. 1t is probably safe to
reckon that 1871 per mile in these
times is fair maintenance for the sys-
tem-but not much more.
The increase in maintenance of
equipment expense is almost altogeth-
er in repairs and renewals of locomo-
tive and passenger cars, viz: $127, 423
for locomotives and $60,237 for passen-
ger cars. Average expenses for To-
comotives were about $1,000 in 1901 and
$1,150 in 1902. These are not large by
any means in these days Expenses
per passenger cars were about $500 in
1901 and $500 in 1902 Expenses per
freight car averaged in 1901 nearly
$50 and in 1902 about $60-a full al
lowance. On the whole, maintenance
of equipment expenditure seems to be
sufficient in the aggregate on an aver
age.
Reckoning $1,000 per mile as fair
maintenance allowance on an average
and $1,150 for net first charges. with
$3.50 for general expenses, we get 81
600 per mile for all except conduct
ing transportation. This 35 per cent.
of gross gives requirements of about
$4,000 per mile gross earnings to nav
all charges ahead of the income bonds
Since reorganization gross earnings
per mile have been as follows:

cLEvELAND's MINsTRELs
And Polite Vaudeville Company Due Here
Friday Evening.

The coming of w. S. Cleve1and's tip
top minstrel-po1ite vaudeville show to
Rhode opera house on Friday evening
is an event of more than ordinary in
terest to our amusement loving citi-
zens. The company which will appear
here is the same that made the phenOm-
email run of two hundred and fifty per-
formances IL Chicago to the biggest
business ever done by a minstrel
vaudeville company. The entertain
ment given is new and unique inno-
walton in theatricals and combines all
the melody and humor of high class
minstrel show with the interest and
novelty of the best features of the
vaudeville stage. Never has such a
great aggregation of headline artists
been brought together before in the
history of amusements. Among those
whose talents add to the minstrel part
of the entertainment are: Raymond
Teal, Americas foremost singing and
dancing comedian and principal end
man; William Window, whose sweet
ballads have been the feature of every
metropolitan theatre.
Memphis Kennedy, whose musical
ccmicalities and peculiar instruments
excite roars of laughter and intense
merriment wherever seen; Shannon
and Lucier, with a singing and dane
ing act; Frank Horton, Lew Spencer,
Will Holbrook and host of others
whose names and fame are worldwide
combine to make the program the best
that has ever been conceived.
The o1io of vaudeville is composed of
nothing but features, acts and num-
bers, among others the Haidabura
family of Russia, vocalists and dan
GERS, in their first appearance on this
continent, novelty act that has gen.
uine merit; the marvellous Sisters
Leon, the worlds most famous team of
lady acrobats presenting many feat
ures beyond the power and seldom at
tempted by even the best male aero
bats.

A SMALLPOX SCARE.
Child in Pleasant Prairie is Taken
i'll With Measles and Great
Excitement Follows.
DOCTORS SHUN THE CASE.
Vaccination of Employees at the Hosiery
Works Employees the Time of Physicians
Other Factories to Follow

Quite little stir was caused in Ke-
nosha Sunday evening by the an
nouncement that a case of smallpox
had been discovered in the town of
Pleasant Prairie, and while the doctors
have not as yet stated positively that
there was no cause for alarm, it is
stated that the real facts in the case
were that the child is suffering from
measles.
The child had been brought to Ke-
nosha from some town in Iowa and
short time after it arrived at the home
of it's friends in Pleasant Prairie it
began to break out. The symptoms
were very suspicious and the doctors,
when called made every effort to shift
the case from one to another. One of the
doctors after he had secured physician
to vaccinate both himself and his
family, went to Pleasant Prairie to
look into the case, and when he re-
turned he had a jolly laugh.
The work of vaccinating the en-
ployes of the Hosiery works started
this morning and it will probab ly take
several weeks to get through with the
work. Many of the doctors were call
ed to the plant today, and each one Of
them vaccinated some twenty-five peo-
pie. The work will be continued day
by day until all the employees have
been touched with the VIRUS.
In the meantime the work at the
Hosiery works has started the manag-
ers of other factories to thinking and
it is probable that others will follow
the example. While there is no inn
mediate fear of smallpox or any other
disease becoming epidemic, there is
always a strong desire to be on the
safe side and vaccination is held to be
good for all the workmen regardless of
contagion.
A few of the children of the schools
have been vaccinated but no general
order for vaccination has been made
except in private schools.

Aldermen Not Ready to Commit Them.
selves on Plan to Give Newell
Street to Northwestern.
DELAY URGED BY MANY OF THEM
Only Seven of The Aldermen are in Favor
of the Ordinance and Five Refuse to
Vote on the Proposition.

The city council met as committee
of the whole at the City Hall Monday
evening for the purpose of considering
the recent application of the Chicago
& North Western railway company to
secure the passage of an ordinance
granting the company the right to lay
switch tracks on Newell street leading
into the Hosiery Works. 1t is a little
near election for the consideration Of
such matter, and some of the alder
men were very much opposed to put
ting themselves or record in regard to
the grant. There we're no representa-
tives of the Hosiery company or of the
railway present, and the aldermen
fought it out among themselves. The
discussion was general and several of
the aldermen expressed a willingness
to allow the company four feet of the
street for use for the track and seven
were in favor of granting the fill ten
feet asked in the ordinance. A balance
of power refused to express an opinion
and favored leaving the matter open
for further consideration, and this
pan was dOOPCCOs
Some of the aldermen who refused to
vote for the proposition Monday even
ing insist that before the council take
any action on the ordinance the North
Western company be forced to fulfill
some of the obligations which the COM
pany owes to Kenosha. It has been
limited that the company will make ex-
tensive repairs and improvement ts to
the station during the coming spring,
but hint is not sufficient and some of
the aldermen would like to see con-
tract in black and white for these i'm
provements before any ordinance is
passed vacating any portion of Newell
street for the company's use. The
council now has a lever by which it
can force the railway company to come
to time and it is to be hoped that the
lever will be used for all it is worth.
Another meeting Of the committee of
the whole will probably be held be-
fore the matter is reported back to the
council. Before the meeting adjourned
Monday evening vote was taken on
the matter. Seven of the aldermen
voted in favor of the railway company,
three against and five refused to vote.

A CONFIDENCE GAME.
Government Land Inspector Sends Out
Warning Against Sharks.

This paper is informed by govern
ment land inspector that confidence
game is being worked on unwary far
mers and laboring men throughout
South Dakota, Iowa, Illinois, Mime
sofa, Wisconsin and elsewhere, but in
the sections named particularly, by
parties assuming to furnish homestead
locations on the Indian reservation IN
Gregory county, South Dakota. The
land in question is not yet opened for
filing. There is bill pending in Con-
gress for the opening of between $500
and 2,4O0 home steads. When opened
homesteaders will be required to pay
$3.50 an acre if they commute. 1t will
probably be opened by a lottery sys-
tenn and no doubt $4,000 people will
register as was the plan IN Oklahoma
North of this land ard west of Pierre
in the Pierre land district 10000 home
steads are now open to fling for
homesteaders who are to pay 50 cents
an acre when committing. Already
over 900 claims have been filed and a
great rush is on for these lands. This
distinguishes the location of these
homestead districts and the form of
payments, which we give to show how
foolish people are to pay so-called To-
Gators for the $3.50 lands $40 cash
now, and note for 500, payable if the
party secures a fling. These are the
terms that misguided farmers are be-
ing buncoed with, and who must of ne
cessity wait for some time to discover
that they have been fooled. The lands
west of Pierre have been dominated to
a great extent by large cattle meE. but
the recent leasing of the Standing
Rock and Cheyenne Indian reserva-
tons and the rush of homesteaders to
Stanley county has crowded out the
large cattle kings. Therefore, the
farmers and wage-earners who think
they are securing some rights by
patronizing these 800 grafters should
be appraised by the press to beware, as
the free lands now open are west of
Pierre and can be had by appearing at
the government land office in person
at any time and paying the govern
ment fling fee. The $3.50 an acre
land can not be had until Congress
passes law and the President issues
a proclamation declaring when it is to
be opened.

THE FIRST CANDIDATE.
Dr. George T. Kimball Announces Himself
a Candidate For Mayor

The campaign for the city offices
has been formally opened, for this
morning DIR. George 7. Kimball mott
fed the representative of the EVEN
ING NEWS that he was in the field for
a nomination for the Office of mayor of
the city. DR.. Kimba11 has as yet not
laid down the platform on which he
will come before the voters of the city,
but he prefers to make the race on the
Citizens ticket, declaring for a more
business like management of the af-
fairs of the city. He has been ap-
preached by many of his friends in the
last few days who have urged him to
make the announcement of his candi-
dacy and the doctor is now in the
hands of his friends and will accept a
nomination if it is rendered to him.
The first candidate of the year is
we'll known to the people of the city.
He chad resided in Kenosha for many
years and isaa member of one Of the
oldest of the Kenosha families.
Dr. Kimba11 has always taken an &C
tive interest in politics in Kenosha
and has usually been considered a
member of the Democratic party. He
has never been a candidate for politi-
cal Office of any nature.

THEATRE PLANS APPROVED.
New Pabst Theatre to Be Erected In Keno
sha Will Be Started In Another Week.

There is no longer any doubt in re-
gard to the erection of the New Pabst
theatre in Kenosha, for the local man
ager of the company was in Milwaukee
yesterday and saw the plans for the
new building which will be turned
over to the contractors at the close of
the present week. The plans are very
elaborate and provide for the erection
of "a splendid modern building which
will cost in the neighborhood of fifteen
thousand dollars. The building will
be located on the old Brewery site, and
as far as possible the walls of the old
building will be used for the new
building; but outside of the walls little
of the old building will remain. The
work will be rushed to completion, and
it is probable that the new building
will be ready for occupancy by the first
of June.
The managers of the brewery have
decided to carry out their plan for a
German theatre, and German stock
company will be assigned for one day
in each week to Kenosha. This will
be an experiment, and if it proves a
paying one Kenosha will have as fine
German attractions in the theatrical
line as can be secured in the United
States.
