CASINO VAUDEVILLE.

Next week the Casino management
Musical Farce Comedy Company in
their two bright comedies. and the at
traction promises to prove a laughing
treat. The company is headed by Miss
Julia Redmond, a vivacious comedi-
enne, and Mr. AL Haynes, a versatile
comedian, and they are surrounded by
an excellent company. which includes
Miss Lilyan Crone, Miss Belle Harvey,
Miss Madeline Burdette, Miss Marie
Russell, Mr.. Joseph f. Morgan, Ed
ward Warren, Charles Hatch and
Thomas Glenroy. The musical direc-
tor is Mr.. William Kemp, and he has
a number of musical surprises in store.
For the first three days of the week
the company will present the exhilarat-
ing comedy entitled "a Trip to New
York" which tells of the humorous adj
ventures of banker who, while on a
trip to the metropolis INDUCES in a
quiet Irritation and is discovered by a
capitalist who has intentions of invest
ing money with him.
To preserve his reputation with the
capitalist he tells him that the lady is
his wife, and when the investor calls
at the bankers residence shortly after
ward he places the banker in a predic-
ament, for he cannot afford to have
the capitalist know the deception prac-
ticed upon him. The complications
which ensue through the attempts of
the banker to eXtricate himself from
the predicament are very funny, and
suffice to keep the audience in constant
laughter. Excellent specialties and en-
semble numbers are introduced during
the action of the comedy.
For the three days commencing
Thursday will be presented the merry,
musical farce, TOO Much Married. This
is one of the biggest laughmakers on
the American stage. 1t tells of the
predicament of a young man who has
been left a fortune, but has an uncle
as a guardian. He has imposed upon
this guardian and obtained large al
lowances from him each month on
the statement that he is married and
has a child. Unexpectedly he receives
a telegram from the uncle announcing
his visit that very day, and saying
that he intends to settle the estate
with him.
He is in a quandry, and sets about
to secure, If possible, a lady who will
consent to act as his wife. After many
fruitless attempts he is successful in
obtaining the consent of his maid serv-
ant to act as his wife. The uncle ar
rives and many humorous complica-
tions ensue, but the climax arrives
when the uncle insists upon seeing the
child. The nephew had forgotten that
he had mentioned that he had child,
and Immediately all his friends are sent
out to find a baby. Their attempts
are successful, and the motley gather
ing of the children, which is capped
by the ludicrous success of the Irish
gardeners quest, makes one of the fun
MES acts ever presented. There is
nothing but laughter from the start
to the finish of this comedy. During
the action of the farce specialties and
ensemble numbers are introduced

IT have not abandoned the idea Of
fire drills in schools, and / am even
more impressed with the necessity for
these drills than ever before" said
Fire Chief Mcguire yesterday.
"In support of the position taken by
me I would like TO show you with
what Importance they are recognized
by the world. I am not the only one
who recognizes the necessity of fire
drills. Notice what the Fire and Water
Engineering says on the subject"
The article referred 10 is as follows:
Not very long ago there was a fire
in public school No. 26, borough Of
Richmond, New York, The gong for
FIRE dismissal was sounded. and the
building was emptied in two minutes,
without any excitement or confusion,
although the fire was on the basement.
The children marched out quietly, the
blaze was extinguished and school du-
ties were resumed half hour later.
This incident furnishes testimonial
of the value OF the fire drill In schools
The pupils had been so well drilled in
obeying the signal Of the gong that
they marched out as matter Of
course when 1t sounded, with as little
thought OF danger as on any other
day when they practised Are dismiss

with the maneuver there Is no telling
what injuries might have been inhict-
ed in a panic rush Of frightened chill

from panic Is generally greater than

Mr.. M'C0NICA WILL SEVER
RELATIONS WITH w. c. 7. U.
RumOrs Rife That Friction Has
Caused Separation.

Rumors Rife That Friction Has
Caused Separation.
On Sept /, Rev. ]. R. McConica will
sever his relations with the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union and
Working Peoples Home. His resigna-
ton has not yet been handed to the
board of directors, though both UNI
derstand that on the first of Septem-
Der he will cease his present duties.
When seen at the home last night
Mr.. McConica refused to discuss the
matter at all, and beyond confirming
the run1or that he was to leave the
home in the fall he would say nothing.
When asked if the severing of the re-
lations between himself and the Wom-
ans Christian Temperance Union was
the result of differences, he would
neither confirm nor deny the rumor.
1t is asserted by those who stand
close to the inside workings Of the
home that there have been differences
between the superintendent and the
board of directors, owing principally
to the fact that Mr. McConica was
bound and cramped in all his move
ments for extending the work or for
introducing innovations. Just what the
immediate cause of difference is, If
any, cannot be learned
+ Mr.. McConica has not yet decided
where he will go upon leaving Savan-
nah. He has received a very fatter-
ing offer from Cohoes. N. Y, from
points in New Jersey and from Georgia
cities. It is probable he will return
to the East, as he desires to carry on
the work into which he has entered in
a broader field.
On Thursday night there will be a
meeting of the board of directors of
the home and at this time Mr. Nc
Conica's leaving will be discussed and
it may be that some action will be
taken on the matter.

DECLARED HOUSE
WAS ADJOURNED
TO QUIET THE ENTHUSIASM
AROUSED OVER MENTION OF
CLEvELAND's NAME.

Motion to Table Resolution OF
Speaker Morris Was Never Voted
Upon, Representative Harden
snys-When House Was Declared
Adjourned, There Were Calls for
the Ayes and Noes, But They
Were Not Heeded-Chances Are
Good for the Australian Ballot
Bill.
The demonstration over the mention
Of the name of Grover Cleveland and
the excitement caused by the report
of the committee recommending the
passage Of the Beauchamp bill were the
two principal events of interest in the
General Assembly last week. The in
PRODUCTION of the bill favoring the Aus
tralian ballot is also a matter Of great
Importance.
Maj. ]. Ferris Cam and Mr.. p. A.
stovall, two of chatham's representa-
tives, are still In Atlanta, and will not
return TO Savannah for the Fourth.
Mr.. William Harden has come home
for the brief holiday and will remain
here until Monday, the Assembly re-
converting on Tuesday morning. In
speaking OF the demonstration over
Cleveland, Mr. Harden said:
THE enthusiasm was high and al
most unbounded, and when the chair
declared the House adjourned, every
thing was in an uproar. Mr.. Flint Of
Spalding was in the chair at the time
when Speaker Morris introduced his
resolution TO the effect that the As
sembly attend the Democratic Con-
vention in a body that they go In a
special, and that they decorate the cars
with the national colors and pictures
of Grover Cleveland.
CIeVeland's Name EDthused.
THE mention Of Mr.. cievelands
name caught the members and the APP
plause was deafening. A motion was
made by some one almost instantly to
table the resolution. In the excitement
and enthusiasm no one could say
whether that motion was ever second
ed or not.
IAN instant later some one moved
TO adjourn. Mr.. Flint heard this mo-
ton and called fer vive yoce vote.
There was shout Of Ayes and an
equally strong shout OF Noes Mr.
Flint declared the House adjourned.
Cries OF division were heard and re-
quests for the calling of the ayes and
noes, but Mr.. Flint declared the House
adjourned, and the roll was never call
ed. The demonstration was entirely
spontaneous.
The Beauchnmp Bill.
'sThe Beauchamp bill and the excite-
ment that resulted from IT'S introduce
