W00DWARD'S ELECTION
AS TALKED OF HERE,
AtIanta's Mnyor-elect Well Known
in savannah.


In savannah.
Many Savannahians unfamiliar with
Atlanta's municipal politics were very
much surprised when the announce
ment was made that James G. Wood
ward had been nominated for Mayor
even after his red letter term of sew
eral years ago. Those familiar with
the factions in the Capital City were
not surprised.
Mr.. Woodward has a following in
Atlanta that cannot be split up into
factions. While the others candidates
for the Office were fighting each other.
Woodward slipped in and got the
prize. Suggestions of boiling, and an i'm
dependent candidate are not believed
here, to have any significance, espec-
tally at this time when political capital
in the national election might be
made out of it.
In speaking of this feature a promi-
nent Savannahian who is familiar with
Atlanta's municipal politics, said he
doubted II there was a man in Atlanta
who could defeat Woodward now that
he was nominated, even IL an inde-
pendant ticket was put out.
pendant ticket was put out.
II am very much reminded" remark
ed the gentleman i'm question, "of a
story that was often told by Wood
ward. At one time during his career
he was very fond of cock fights. He
usually wound up any experience that
he might be relating about this
amusement by repeating a story which
have heard often. A strange gentle
man attended a main near Atlanta
once, and had lost on every fight. At
the windup OF these mains there was
generally a battle royal, In which
every one present who wanted to put
up the entrance fee was permitted to
select rooster and have him enter
the lists. On this particular occasion
1t fell to the lot Of the stranger to take
lie was stupid in appearance, stiff and
seemingly fit for nothing, not even a
colored parsons dinner.
There were about twenty-five en-
tries In the big event, at IS each At
the word all the cocks were thrown
In the pit, and in an instant there was
wild fight going on. The old cock
entered by the stranger stood off with
his hands In his pockets, fguratively,
and watched the battle, which lasted
nearly ten minutes before 1t finally
narrowed down to two game fellows
who fought until they could not stand
alone. Then the old fellow woke up,
tapped his wings. crowed twice and
sailed In and killed both of the COM
batants. This was something like
Woodward's race for Mayor"
The only charges that were ever
lodged against Woodward with any
foundation were Of his personal con-
duct, which, II Is said, was not at ali
times exemplary.

AT THE THEATER

Vaudeville has had boom in Amer
lea several years. 1t is a style of
performance peculiarly suited to Amer
lean theater patrons, and so long as
meritorious specialties could be Sc
cured, managers who presented vau-
deville entertainments reaped a rich
harvest. Europe has contributed
largely to the vaudeville stage of
America, and of those who have come
across the water, Cornalla and Eddie
have been among the most successful
in winning favor on this side. Their
novel performance is not only funny,
but highly artistic.
Their burlesque Juggling with plates,
laughter. Their artistic acrobatic ac-
complishments are no less applauded.
Their success in America has made
them popular favorites where they
have appeared. They are one of the
Specialties presented in the vaudeville
adjunct to the AL. G. Fields Greater
Minstrels, which appears here to-day
at matinee and evening performances.
The matinee prices are Orchestra, 80
cents; balcony, adults, so cents; chill
dren, % cents. At night: Orchestra,
81; balcony, 10 and so cents, and gal
lery, so cents.
THE Marriage of Kitty" one of the
marked successes of last season in
New York, will he seen at the theater
Saturday, matinee and night, Oct. 10.
The production is under the direction
of Jules hurry, who has secured a cast
headed by Bettina Gerard and Max
Figman. Miss Gerard will be heard in
songs which will exhibit her lovely So
prano voice. The scenery will be ex-
actly similar to that used in New
York. A prettier and at the same time
more "liveable" drawing room than
that of the second and third acts cam
not be recalled. while the back drop,
showing the Lake of Geneva with the
lights changing gradually from day to
night, is said to be a picture worth
Watching.
Happy Hooligan," that comic char
acter taken from Opper's caricatures,
oy Frank Dumont, and placed in fan
cied scenes, will be at the theater FRI

Election Returns Forwarded.

The election returns for Chatham
county were forwarded to the secre-
tary of state yesterday. The returns
were consolidated Immediately after
the election. owing to the system in
practice here OF having all the voting
at the Court House, the work of con-
solidating the returns can be done
much quicker than in the other coun-
ties.

WORE THE HAT IT WAS
CLAIMED HE STOLE.
Chill" Ingram Sent to the Peniten-
tiary for Car Breaking.

"BiIl" Ingram Sent to the Peniten-
tiary for Car Breaking.
Bill Ingram, colored, was yesterday
found guilty of breaking and entering
a railroad car and stealing a lot of
hats. Judge Cam sentenced him to
two and one-half years in the peniten-
tiary, and expressed the hope that the
experience would be a lesson to him.
When arrested Ingram was wearing
the hat which he was accused Of steal
ing, and in his pocket was found a
portion of the seal to the car that had
heen broken into. But the negro had
a story ready. He accounted for the
hat, by claiming that he bought 1t from
two white men, though he was unable
to give their names. AS for the car
seal, he said, he was walking along the
railroad track when he picked It up.
This story did not sound plausible to
the Jury.

Plea of Guilty Saved George Butler
"A Heavier Sentence.
George Butler, colored, pleaded guilty
in the Superior Court yesterday to
stealing three brass moulds from the
Southern Cotton Oil Company. valued
at SOS each. Judge Cam, after a Sc
we're lecture. sentenced him to pay a
fine of 500, or serve twelve months on
the changing. Butler will take the
changing alternative.
A peculiar fact about the case IL that
Butler stoutly maintained his inno-
cence until a few moments before his
case WAS to be called. In spite OF the
fact that his attorney had advised him
TO plead guilty and escape a peniten-
tiary sentence, Butler chung 10 his
original story OF innocence. Just be-
fore the case was called, his attorney
suddenly asked him how much he got
for the brass and he owned up to the
theft.

UNCLE TOM POPULAR.
Large AGaience Witness
the Terry Company.
Sioux City Journal.

An audience which filled the capa-
cious tent to ~overtlowing yesterday
witnessed the production of the old
| time favorite, Uncle Toms Cabin, by
the Terry Uncle Toms Cabin compa-
NY on the Corn Palace lot, Sixth and
Pierce streets. THE crowds were we'll
pleased with the performance which
like all other productions of this Ia
vorite melodrama, was replete With
wit, the sensational details which
pleased grandfathefs and grandmoth-
ersas well as all the succeeding gener-
| ationS.
Ofall the old time companies the
Terrey aggregation remains firm. Its
delineation Of the antebellum days
when the slavery question was so vital
and WHICH made Harriet Beecher
Stoves novel SO great a force, brought
the same hearty applause which was
received twenty odd years ago. The
cast of the company contains some
players of more than ordinary ability,
and its rendition of the piece was we'll
received. Little Eva and Uncle Tom
shared the honors in making q hit
with the aunience, while the baying
blood-hounds terrorized its Juvenile
members.
The parade at noon attracted no
small amount Of attention. TO mus
ic furnished by two bands, the per-
forming. a pack of fierce looking Gu
ban bloodhounds, paraded the streets.
This company carries a large herd OF
pretty Shetland ponies.

RUSSIANS ARE ANXIOUS
NEXT MOVE OF JAPANESE FLEET
NERVOUSLY AWAITED AT
ST. PETERSBURG.
ARE PREPARED FOR JAP ADVANCE
DISPOSITION OF RUSSIAN SOL
plESS IN NORTHERN KOREA
COMPLETED.

ST Petersburg. March 4.-Since the
disappearance of the Japanese fleet
from before Port Arthur the Russian
authorities have been awaiting anx'
iously for the next move of the Jap
anese on sea. There is an inclination
here to believe that the Japanese have
been discouraged by the failure OF
their attacks and perhaps by losses
they have not announced.
1t is evident even from the meager
information regarding the Russian dis
positions in Northern Korea that the
plan for checking the Japanese land
advance is perfected and that heavy
reserves are being brought UP to the
Yalu river.
Every energy of the authorities Is
now directed to prevent a blockade on
the Siberian railroad. Twenty new
sidings, each of 2,20o feet, are being
erected. Owing to the heavy move
ment of rolling stock carrying rein
forcements, war munitions and com
missariat stores eastward there Is
great danger that in bringing back
the empty cars the whole line may be
stopped. With the sidings now build
ing the authorities hope TO be able to
keep the line clear and TO send eleven
trains in each direction daily.
Mail adyices from Siberia say that
the army reserves from the rural dis
tricts seem to be much more anxious
TO go to the front than the townsmen-
Many of the latter are presenting pny-
sicians certificates of illness.

RUSSIANS MOVING SOUTH.
Boldly Pressing Forward to Meet the
Japanese.

Pingyang, via Seoul, March 4.-The
Russians are boldly and fiercely push
ing their advance south of the Yalu
river. Their Cossacks are scouting
far in advance Of the main body
through Northern Korea.
Three hundred Russians have be-
sieged ANU, which is about forty-hye
miles from Wiju, the port declared
open by the Japanese. Anju is some
twenty-five miles from Pingyang,
where the first great battle of the war
between China and Japan was fought.
There has been no attempt by the
Japanese as yet to dislodge the daring
advance guard of the Russians at
Anju.
The country between Anju and Ping
yang is very mountainous and cam
paigning there will be conducted UNI
der the greatest difficulties. But as
the Japanese are in force here a col
lision cannot long be deferred.
How far behind the Russian advance
is the main body of the invading army
is not known here, but fleeing Koreans
declare the invaders are in great force
