ATLANTA. Ga. Dec. 24.-To avoid a
possibility of any repetition of recent
race rioting IN this city Mayor Wood
ward issued today an order closing all
saloons ip the city at o'clock this
afternoon, to remain closed until
Wednesday morning For several
weeks indefinite rumors have been
heard that Christmas was to be made
the occasion of an attack upon the
negroes in Atlanta. No such rurnor
could be traced TO an authoritative
source, but the effect has been to drive
many negroes from the city. Several
TX. X. K" notices were posted on the
streets Saturday morning last. While

fered by Mayor Woodward for evidence

squadron. General Aprin and Rear Ad-
miral Gregorief of the coast defense
shin. Admiral Senivien and Lieutenant
Smirinoff, who succeeded to the COM
mand of the battleship Nicolai were
sentenced to death. but in view OF ex-
tenuating circumstances and the long
and otherwise blameless careers& of
these officers, the court will recommend
the Emperor to commute the sentences
70 ten years imprisonment in fort
ress Four other officers were SEN
fenced to short terms OF Imprisonment
in fortresses, while the remainder Were
acquitted OF the charges brought
against them.
The trial of Rear Admiral Nebogatoff
and the officers Of his squadron began
in St. Petersburg on December >. The
accused were divided into three cate
eories: First. Rear Admiral Nebogaton
and the commanders of the battleships;
second, the officers who advocated sur
render and third, the officers who did
not endeavor TO prevent the surrender

rnil-al NebOgatoff and the other CON-
rnanders are similar to those handed
down in the case Of the naval officers
who were condemned BY court martial
for surrendering the torpedo boat de-

has proved successful

are active politicians, devoted most

poets of the case.
The Government prosecutor in his
closing address declared that rhe in
Fiction of the death penalty under the
circumstances was out of harmony with
the spirit of the times. but he declared
that the guilt Of the officers in qUes-
tion found no example in history. Rear
Admiral Nebogatoff. he said, could at
least have transferred all his commands
10 one battleship and then sunk the
rest of the squadron. The Rear Ad-
miral made emotional reply, in which
he dwelt upon the ignorance of the
prosecutor. who he said had worn the
uniform Of the navy for only one year.

DR. PIERCE's REMEDIES.
Do You Want to Know

There is growing sentiment in this
country In favor of MEDICINES OF KNOWN

should have some interest in the compo-
sition of that which he or she is expected
to swallow, whether it be food, drink or
medicine.

on the part of the public, and satisfied
shat the fullest publicity can only add to

This bold and outrspoken movement on
the part of DR.. Pierce, has, by showing
exactly what his well-knpwn medicines
are composed OF, completely dlsarmed all

justly attacked them. A little pamphlet

OMAHA. Dec. 24.--"I see 1t reported
that Chief Hanrahan Of the Firemen's
brotherhood threatens to spread the
firemen's strike to all the Hartman
lines unless they win speedily upon the
Texas branches of the Soutnern "a
cific." said a high official Of the Union
Pacific here today.
II hardly believe the Union Pacific
fremen would go out" he added as
the Union Pacific has contract with
them, as well as with the engineers.
If they should strike. however. very
serious situation in the towns along the
Union Pacific would result. Our COM
pany has been giving up its own coal
to dealers to avoid a shortage such as
has prevailed on other lines, and we
have barely three days supply for
railroad use, instead of ten times that
amount, as is customary. Our hremen
are upon amicable terms with the COM
pany, and only a feeling of extreme
LOYALTY to their union could induce
them to strike IL ordered to do So

TWO ACTORS CONE
To THEIR OWN
Izetta Jewell and Wilfred
Roger Score Heavily in
Gaines "The Christian"
NEW BILL AT DAVIS
By James Crawford

For the first time since its opening
the Colonial Theater is presenting a
play that affords the leading man and
woman of the stock company a fair
opportunity to live up to their desig-
nation In the alienation of broad
farces and homely comedy dramas
which was the rule of the house prior
to last evening. neither Miss Jewel
nor Mr.. Roger found chance to display
the qualities which led to their en-
roliment, but in The Christian" they
come to their own. and it is pleas
ant to record that they do not disap-
point
Mr.. Rogers temperamental equip
ment admirably fits him to portray
without unnatural strain the dominant
moods of John Storm, the ascetic
whose soul is torn by conflict between
the promptings of the spirit and the
iesh. In the earlier scenes last night
his repose was too marked, perhaps,
but as his love-or his fascination-de-
veloped he rose to the vigor demanded.
In the second act when Glory dashed
his hope that she had decided to join
in his self-imposed task of salvation,
he did his first bit of really clever
acting by repressing vocal betrayal of
the great disappointment and sorrow
that his face plainly expressed. And
- Its SPSSNhSo JdSl Pi CSCuiuS tilC 81 "
scene he was personifed majesty in
both tone and action. The great third
act scene, where he succumbs to the
witchery of the woman he had de-
termined to slay, was impressively
sustained by him throughout. II he
had made his San Francisco debut as
John Storm his name would now be
better known than 1t Is.
OF course, the work of the young lead
ing man would have been less notable
If he had not found In Miss Jewel
an intelligible and capable player of
Glory Quayle. She produced the Curl
Gus effect of not seeming to act at
all, but just allowing you to see what
she was feeling and suffering. In
the third act she was a revelation of
variant emotional power subtly ex-
pressed, and it was entirely fitting
that she should equally share with
Mr.. Roger the reward so enthusias-
tically bestowed by the audience.
The remainder of the cast was ac-
ceptable and the staging more pre-
tentious than anything previously at
tempted at the Colonial.

~BANKERs AND BROKERS'"

In their borrowed travesty, Bankers
and Brokers'" Kolb and Dill scored a
moderate success last night at the Da
Wis Theater with the assistance of a
fairly good chorus and the singing of
Clara Weiland who warbled Good Old
Songs of the Blue and Gray and I'm
der the Palm Trees Shady" The plot
of the piece, although new in little or
no respect as contrasted from the re-
cent productions of it's kind, gives am
pie opportunity for exercise of the
Weber and Fields style of fun n-making,
especially in the second act, when Dill
is compelled to don diving suit and
plunge into a well in Florida In his
mad haste to recover some shares of
stock upon which the fortunes Of the
Arm depend. The alligator that pur-
sues him and is afterward thrown out
of the well furnishes some of the
heartiest laughter provoked by the pro-
ductiou.
The songs and chorus are by far the
best part of the show. the comedy be-
ing of the kind long since assigned to
the dead past by those who are looking
for new sensations in laugh-making.
