The Savannah morning news., 1903-03-22

Soon the Square was quiet as before,
and there was naught but peace I'M
der the big stars of July.
That day the news had come that
Harkless, after weeks of alternate i'm
provement and relapse, hazardously
lingering in the borderland of shadows,
had passed the crucial point and was
convalescent. His recovery was as
sured. But from their first word of
him, from the message that he was
found and was alive, none of the peo-
pie of Carlow had really doubted it.
They are simple country people, and
they know that God is good.

Hospital Ambulance in Demand.

The ambulance from the Emergency Hos
pital was called to sos D street northwest
three times within half an hour last night.
Each time patient suffering intense pain,
caused by eating canned salmon, was con-
yeyed to the hospital. The families of
George Carter and George Williams took
their dinner at the house together yester-
day afternoon. Salmon was on the bill of
fare, of which the members of both fam
lilies ate freely. Shortly after the meal
was concluded Louisa Williams three years
old, was taken violently ILL.,. and was re-
moved to the hospital.
In short space of time George Williams
also became i'll and was conveyed to the
hospital, being followed there by his eight
year-old son Mosby. The physicians dag
nosed the cases ptomaine poisoning and
applied artidOtes accordingly. Each of the
patients recovered during the night, and
was able to go home.

T H E TIL E A T E R.
Columbia Theater.

Once upon a time there was girl of lowly
birth who was called upon for one reason
or another to impersonate rich and beau
tiful young lady. She courted by a
proud and distinguished young man, who,
on discovering her humble origin, said that
he loved her just the same. Thereupon
they all went into a musical comedy and
lived happily ever after.
"Winsome Winnie which was produced
at the Columbia Theater last night, is i'm
portant chiefly vehicle for Miss Paula
Edwardes, whose destinies as star are en-
trusted to it. Miss Edwardes is well known
and well liked here, and the audience was
frienedly at the start and enthusiastic at
the finish. Her talents are quite unique;
she is one of the few funny women; that is
to say, funny without being coarse. De-
spite the plain perfunctory quality of the
character she pOrtrayS, and the gloomy
antiquity that distinguishes much of the
humor, Miss Edwardes infused a vitality
into the role which made Winsome Winn.e's
progress through the familiar scenes and
incidents of musical comedy interesting
as a personal experience. Her first song is
an old d-fashioned topical song, which plainly
defined the limitations within which Miss
Edwardes is expected to entertain. 1t is
distinctly low comedy song; reminder
of the time when "Old Hoss Hoey'' was in
his heyday singing They're After Me"
This song is entitled They're Looking For
Me-" which is perhaps sufficiently orig.na
for present purposes Miss Edwardes re-
ceived calls that quite exhausted her stock
of verses.
The audience demanded Il speech from
Miss EGwardcs, and at last she was COM
PEELED to step forward and offer the tiniest
uratiCn on record:
Ladies and gentlemen, she said; - wish
| could speech, but l can't"
j. G. Miron was fine as one of those
brigands who have largely disappeared from
actual life, but who continue to infest comic
opera. He sings well and is one of the most
satisfactory performers that musical enter
tainment brings to notice. Mr.. w. L. Carle-
ton is one of the few men in his line whose
work is always well done.
The piece is advertised as being by JAG
kobowski and Paulton, authors of "Ermi-
ne' But in the Americanization the origi-
supplanted, sixteen of the musical numbers
being accredited to Ranken and kerker and
three to Paulton and Jackobowski. AL
though slightly heterogeneous in style, the
music is excellent In some instances, the
finale of the first act having ali the ring and
dash OF the best of kerker s former work,
| and the mill song IN the second act being Il
| fascinating bit of sincere musical coLnpo-
| Sition.
So many things that "Winsome Winnie
resembles have become popular that ii
| would not be at all surprising if this piece
achieved that gratifying result. Everything
that could be done for it in the way of
scenery. costu,ning and chorus has been
provided. The stage reveals a constant sue
cesSon of beautiful pictures.

The New National.

Blackface minstrelsy held sway at the
New National Theater last night. when
Lew Dockstader. aided and abetted by
many well-known burnt-cork vocalists and
comedians. gave the initial performance of
their weeks engagement at that theater.
number of people well known in official
and social life were noticed in the gather
ing.
Lew Dockstader has been long and
favorably identified with this particular
style of entertainment that a good show
was expected. These anticipatons were
not disappointed. The first part of the en-
tertainment was in line with the time
honored traditions of the minstrel show,
and number of stars in the minstrel
armament were given an opportunity to
twinkle, to the great delectation of the
audience. William II. Hallett held down
the chair in the center of the semi-circle
of burnt cork, as interlocutor, and Carroll
Johnson and Neil O. Bren made merry from
their positions as end men. Ed. and Max
Ford gave a good exhibition of fancy dane
ing and James B. Bradley sang an agree
able selection. Mr.. OBrien scored hit
in his song. IT Wish / Had My Money
Back" ands Mr.. Johnson came in for a
good share of applause on "Morarity.''
Lew Dockstader was encored repea tedly
on his amusing song, HE May Get Over

CITIZENS MEETING.
Association Asks for improvements to-
Certain Streets

The regular monthly meeting of the
| Bloomingdale. LIE Droit Park and Reservoir
Heights Citizens Association was held last
| evening at the Methodist Protestant Church 4,
| corner of 1st street and Rhode Island avenue
| northwest. Major Farnsworth presided in
the absence of President Emig.
After electfng three new members a vote
| Of thanks was rendered the street railway
| company for the improved facilities recently
| put into operation on both car lines.
After some discussion the report of spe-
cial committee was adopted favoring the
paving of Rhode Island avenue to North
Capitol street and Sd street northwest from
| Florida avenue to the circle at street.
| The Commissioners will be asked to include
these improvements in their estimates for
the coming year.
A resolution was adopted requesting the
commissioners to name the new school
building soon to be erected on I'd street
northwest the Gage School, in memory of
the late N. P. Gage. who had been teacher
! IN the public schools of the District for thir-
ty-three years. and for many years super
Vfsing principal of the second division.
1t was stated that the teachers of this
division were heartily in favor of the prop
osltion and that as the deceased principal
mad been mainly instrumental in securing
the adoption of the present site. and as
tnere would probably not be another school
building erected in this territory soon. it
seemed especially appropriate that this one
should be named in his honor
vote of thanks was rendered Messrs
richards and Griffin, officials at the District
building, for their assistance to the special
committee appointed to secure information
as to the assessed valuation OF the property
embraced in the territory of the associa-
tion This committee reported the amount
TO be upward of So, ,O0O, 600; that therefore
the sum of $4,000, or approximately was
| paid in taxes by the people of the COM
munty, and they were therefore entitled to
De literally treated in regard to public i'm
provements.
The presiding officer called attention to

present that the dumping of cars of dirt

that more noise than necessary is being
mace, especially in the afterpart of the
night, preventing nearby residents from Sc

instructions given the lahorers on the work

Regarded as Sufficient.

Chief Belt of the fire department has re-
turned 10 Commissioner Macfarland q let
ter received from Fireman r. |. Williams of
No. Engine Company, who stated that he
recently stopped runaway horse al great
personal risk TO himself His only reward
was letter Of commendation from the
CommiS sioners. Other members of the de-
partment. he claimed, had been promoted
over him for similar acts.
Chief Belt states that Fireman Williams
courageously stopped runaway horse.
The department has promoted only those
members of the department who have stop
ped runaway fire apparatus in the immedi-
ate line of duty. In two cases where pro-
motions have occurred the firenen reward
ed climbed over swaying apparatus and
stopped the horses when accidents had be-
fallen the drivers.
The department considers the letter to
Fireman Williams sufficient recognition for
the act performed.
