AT THE THEATER

"McFadden's Row of Flats" will be
the attraction at the theater at a mat
inee and night performance to-day.
Everybody who goes to theaters knows
what the Flats" is. 1t is a farce
comedy of the liveliest type, with all
that goes TO make up the rattle and
hang of shows of its class.
The company presenting the Flats"
this year is aid to be the best that has
presented it in the South. The chorus
is made up of the comeliest girls that
have ever been seen in it.
Manager Seeskind has arranged with
the Savannah Electric Company to
have cars in waiting on Abercorn street
at McDonough at the close of every
performance during the season. This
will be appreciated by the patrons of
the theater. For a long time there
has been talk of a branch of the Aber-
corn belt extending a track up Nc
Donough' street to Chippewa Square
so that car could run direct to the
theater. 1t is not unlikely that this
track may be built during the coming
season. .aI.

President Egan of the Central was
asked yesterday what is to be done
with the buildings now occupied by the
company's offices. They will continue
to be used for the same purpose, he
said. New quarters We're secured be-
cause they are needed for the accom-
mediation of the large and constantly
increasing clerical force of the road
The Central's business here been
increasing. with the result that more
men are needed in the offices. The
present quarters have become too
crowded and were made still more so
because of the sale of the bank build
ing on Bay street, which necessitated
the removal of the treasurers office
Under these circumstances il became
a question of either adding to the
present office building of the road or
securing quarters elsewhere, and this
led to the arrangement with the Citi-
Zens Bank.

PORCELAINS WILL STAY HERE.
Mr.. j. Pierpont Morgan Has Purchased
the Celebrated Garland Collection.

Those lovers Of art and the beautiful
who were strong In their faith that no such
priceless treasures as the Chinese porce-
lains known as the Garland collection
could possibly be permitted TO leave the
United States in this day Of liberal and
cultivated American men of wealth have
had their faith justified. The public an
nouncement that the dispersal of the col
lection abroad was imminent, as the por-
celains had passed into the possession Of
a firm OF International dealers, was shock
that was felt far in the community.
j, Pierpont Morgan is now the owner
Of the porcelains, and they will remain not
only American possessions, but they will
stay here in New York. Mr.. Morgan
made the purchase from Duveen Bros.
on Friday at a cost which is not made
known. Henry j. Duveen is doubtless
10 be congratulated In accomplishing
great business transaction, But though
he acted exclusively as a merchant in the
operation. as he has declared. he has earned
gratitude just the same as being the cause,
through others, of the enrichment OF New
York; treasure house,
Mr., Morgan is a trustee Of the Metropoli-
tan Museum OF Art, and the Garland por-
celains, which will probably come now to
be known as the Morgan porcelains. will
remain Tor some time at least one Exhibition
at the museum, which has been their home
for the past several years. II would not
surprise some persons who have followed
Mr. Morgan's interest in art as il has be-
come publicly known should this inval-
liable collection become eventually the
property of the museum In the Park.
Should such prove the fact, a new cata-
logue. serviceable and Informative, might
reasonably be looked for, the present make
shift which the museum has published
being next TO useless to the uninitia ted
and Of no practical service to ANYBODY else
The charitable and tender hearted may
treat themselves to a few mild pangs OF
regret, II they like, over the quick recovery
OF the Garland collection to America. For
New Iork's rejoicing over the retention of
the treasures here il undoubtedly eQualled
in intensity by the bitterness OF hopes
dashed on the other side OF the Atlantic.
The British and Continental collectors had
only few hours In which TO enjoythe antici-
patton of opportunity TO possess themselves
Of some of the Garland pieces which they
would very much like
And 1t is even possible that China. should
he awake as Japan has done. to tho pro-
priety OF forming museum Of her native
arts and desire to secure some of her un-
rivalled productions in ceramics, would
wish TO have a chance at some Of the Gar
land objects, just as japan has had 10 come
TO Western countries to buy back art treas
ures that her people had been induced TO
part with in times Of indifference or inacle-
quate knowledge
