THE FORDS.
• Everybody’s Friend” at the Opera
House To-night.
The Fords will present to-night at their
Opera House the splendid comedy,
“Everybodv’s Friend,” or, as John E.
Owens has it, “Major De Boots.” Mr.
Wra. A. McCarthy will play the leading
character. It is unnecessary to say that
it will be played well, as Mr. McCarthy
is recognized as one of the be6t amateur
comedians in the South. The cast is one
of the strongest the Fords have yet put
on the stage. Mr. Lawrence Hanley will
plav “Felix Featherley,” the comedy char
acter in which he made such a decided hit
last season. The association has cause
to feel proud of this young gentleman,
and the audiences which have attended
the performance*of the “Fords’’ during
the season have shown their appre
ciation of his talent by indorsing him as
an actor of merit. His future is certain
ly a bright one. Mr. H. >. Duffield will
play the part of “leebrook,” which is a
guarantv %>jat it will be played as well as
any actor in the country could play it.
Miss Chambers, who made such a line
impression as “Agnes Churchill, will
play the opposite to Mr. McCarthy,
and will probablv convulse the
bouse as “Mrs. De Boots,”
Miss Nellie Pierce, the acknowl
edged favorite, will appear as “Mrs.
Swansdown,” Miss Florie > erne will play
“Mrs. Featherlev.” This little lady is one
of the brightest amateurs in the State and
has gained many admirer* by her clever
ness in soubrette parts. The entire east
is of the best material in the association.
The performance assures an evening of
rare pleasure.
MISS HI SSKY S BENEFIT.
The Entertainment t the Theatre To-
Morrow Night.
The complimentary benefit to be given
Miss Lenore Gordon Hussey, at the Thea
tre to-morrow night, promises to be one
of the most elite entertainments of the
season. The programme, which appears
elsewhere in the Morning News to-day,
assures an evening of rare enjoyment. The
Savannah public is well acquainted with
Miss Huaaev, and has recognized the rare
dramatic talent which she possesses in so
eminent a degree. It is a matter ol regret
that it is impossible to see her in a lead
ing dramatic role advantageously sup
ported. The programme of the enter
tainment, however, assures her appear
ance in a character whieh she is emi
nentlv fitted to delineate.
In 'addition to the attraction of Miss
Hussey a select programme of vocal and
instrumental contributions will be pre
sented bv some of the leading amateur
talent ol' the city. The sale of seats is
progressing, and indicates a large au
dience.

Chairman Clifton, of the District Demo
cratic Executive Committee, ascended the
Judge’s bench and announced the District
Convention in order for the nomination of
a Representative to the Forty-ninth Con
gress.
The early morning trains brought in
the delegations from the lower counties,
and the Marshall House, the headquarters
of the country delegates, was a lively
scene. Tbe friend* of the pronounced
candidates were actively at work, and
meetings of the several delegations were
held in ibeir interest.
An hour before the convention met. the
court bouse corridors were filled with tbe
delegates and their friends. A few min
utes' befere 12 there was a rush for
the court room, which was quickly filled.
The main floor was occupied by the dele
gates, comprising as fine a
body of representative men as ever
assembled in tbe district. The
visitors’ eallet'“s and jury boxes were
given up t the spectators, and
were packed that standing room
was the onl T liable privilege after the
convention ailed to order.
After st he object of ’he conven
tion the nan briefly alluded to tbe
itnportai tes of the campaign, not
only in istrict, but in the field of
State a >onal politics, and declared
the m ready for business.

zation. Col. J. L. Sweat, of Clinch, nomi

THK TWO-THIRDS RULK.
Upon the return of the committees, \V.
R. Gignilliat, Chairman of the Committee
on Organization, presented the name of
u. P. Wade, of Scriven, aa temporary
Chairman, and Hon. A. G. Smith, of
Bryan, and A. B. Estes, Jr., of Ware, as
permanent Secretaries.
Mr. Wade was escorted to the chair by
McDonald, or Ware, Lachlison, of Mcln
tosh, and Warren, of Chatham. He
acknowledged the honor which the conven
tion had conferred upon him and the con
stituents he represented. In alluding to
tne duties which it would be called
upon to discharge, he urged that
all feelings of personal preference and
prejudice be laid aside or be made subordi
nate to the best interests of the party.
The convention would be called upon to
discharge a sacred autv—a duty to the
constituents which it represented and to
the Democratic party and the whole
country. In performing this duty it
should do so without regard to per
sonal ambition, prejudice or preference.
Col. Sweat, ot the Committee on Rules,
submitted a report recommending the
adoption of the two-thirds rule in nomi
nations. aud the rules of the House of
Representatives for the government of the
convention, and moved the adoption of
the report. Letford, of Bryan, seconded the
motion, and the report was unanimously
adopted.
A motion by Way,ot Liberty, to adjourn
until 3 o’clock was’ lost.
PRESENTING THE CANDIDATES.
The convention proceeded with the pre
sentation of candidates upon the call of
counties. Dr. J. F. Brown, of Bulloch,
presented the name of Hon. Morgan
Bawls, and in a fitting speech asked the
convention to act with magnanimity and
accord to Bulloch the right to name the
candidate of the district.
Pittman, of Effingham, arose to second
the nomination, and in the language of
the great statesman from Massachusetts,
“Mink or swim, live or die, survive St per
ish.” he had given his heart and hand in
support ot the nomination.
W. R. Gignilliat, ot Mclntosh, in a vig
orous speech, presented the name of Hon.
A. Pratt Adams.
Col. Warren, of Chatham, seconded the
nomination. He urzed Judge Adams,
nomination if he couid be made the choice
of the convention without the cost of dis
cord and disaffection. He had no word of
disparagement for any other candidate
that might be presented. His purpose
was to present the claims of
Chatham and to ask the dele
gates representing the constituency of the
the convention to concert and consider as
far as possible her interests, and to allow
no personal preferences or prejudices to
influence their choice.
A. S. Way, of Liberty, in an eloquent
and scholarly speech, presented the name
of Capt. S. Douce Bradwell. Mr. Way’s
speech was a patriotic effort, and was a
tellinz influence in behalf of Liberty’s
candidate. The nomination was second
ed by Letford. of Bryan.
Hon. J. E. Dart, of Glynn, presented
the name of lion. M. L. Mershon. In
making the nomination he had been
charged with being unfriendly to Savan
nah and her interests, and had been ac
cused of coming to the convention to op
pose a candidate from Chatham. He
challenged proof of the accusation and
avowed the most friendly interest in
her affairs. In presenting Judge
Mershon as a candidate, for the
suffrazes of the people, he did so with a
recognition ot his integrity, his ability,
his fitness to represent the district, and
the claims of the county to name the can
didate ot the convention.
J. C. McDonald, of Ware, seconded the
nomination in a lengthy speech, reviewing
the representation of the district for past
rears and setting forth the claims of Judge
Mershon as the candidate of the people.
The call was completed, and with the
four candidates in the field the convention
proceeded to a ballot.

BALLOTING AFTER RECESS.
Exactly at 4:30 o'clock tbe Chairman’*
gavel fell upon the block and the conven
tion was in ortler. In the absence of sev
eral of the delegate* tbe roll call was sus
pended until all the counties were repre
sented. when the - second ballot was pro

and Scriven coquetting between Adams
aud Bradwell, occasionally running up
Rawls’ column.
tin the twenty-third ballot Mershon re
ceived 16 votes, Adams 13, Bradwell 7 and
Rawls 4.
There being no possibility of making a
nomination, which, under the rule, would
require 27 votes, the convention adjourned
until 9:30 o’clock this morning.
AFTER THE ADJOURNMENT.
Immediately upon adjournment the
friends of the’eandidates rolled up their
sleeves and went to work to secure, it
possible, a harmonious adjustment of the
differences, with a view to a nomination
on the next ballot.
In event no adjustment can be
reached, and the convention is - unable
to agree upon anv of the candidates now
in the field, several dark horses have
been suggested in connection with tbe
nomination. TTie situation was freely
discussed at the hotels last
night, and the scene at tne
Marshall House was a lively one.
It is confidently expected • that a
nomination will be made this morning.
Most of the delegates, while not yielding
to gnv of the interests now before the
convention, are not averse to concen
trating upon some available candidate.
It is useless to predict what the result
will be.
DOVE UP BY THE DIXIES.
The Metropolitans Taken In to the Tune
of 19 to 4—The Games With the
Clinehes Next Week.
The game yesterday between the Dixies
and a picked nine was very poorly attend
ed. As might have been expected it was
a one-sided game, the Dixies winning by
a score of 19 to 4 m 7 innings. While the
picked nine played poorly, the Dixies did
some good work, and the practice they
got will be of benefit to them. Hoggins,
Norton and Fitzgerald played well, and
the line catch of Monahan, enabling him
to assist m a double play, was fine. The
batting of the Dixies was heavy, especi
ally that of Norton, Hoggins and Fitzger
ald, each of whom made several two-bag
gets. Hoggins and Westcott making a
three-bagger apiece.
The following is the score of yesterday’s

On Monday and Tuesday the Clinches of

games may be looked for. The Clinches
have greatly strengthened tlieir nine. It
is hoped that a large crowd will witness
these games and give the visitors a hearty
welcome. The Dixies are trying hard to
get some good clubs here, and if they
go to Atlanta next week, as there
is some talk ot their doing, they
will trv to get the Athletics
to come‘here. It is probable that the
Ogletborpes, who returned from their tour
yesterday morning, will play the Dixies to
morrow, and lrom the close games they
have played while away an exciting match
may be expected. The clubs here promise
to do all in their power to make the games
interesting to visitors to the Park, and
they ask that their endeavors meet with
the approval of their friends.

A Fireman * Brave Act in Rescuing a
Lad from Drowning.
The Washington Fire Company and a
large party of guests, numbering about
300 persons, made an excursion to Bluff
ton, S. C-, yesterday on the steamer Syl
van Glen. After having a very enjoyable
trip, they returned shortlv before 9 o’clock

ton, a small boy, named Page, while
bathing in the river, was seized
by the under currem and was in
imminent danger of drowninz. when
William Bennett, of the Washing
tons, leaped after him, and saved the lad,
though he narrowly escaped with his own
life. A number of excursionists and
others, recognizing the perilous situation
of Mr. Bennett, threw him life-preservers,
by the aid of which he was enaoied. after
catching hold ot young Page, to buoy him
self up until he reached tbe 6hore. The
braverv of Bennett was commended by all
who witnessed the act, and, as a token of
their appreciation, a subscription of over
$22 was taken and formally presented to
him on the boat.

A CURIOUS WORK OF ART.
How It Was Spoiled by an Inquiring New
England Nose.
I have not yet mentioned the object that
m ost interested me in the new acquisi
tions of the lady referred to in the com
mencement of my letter, says * letter to
the Chicago Inter-Ocean. This was a
small picture standing on a solid black
easel. The subject, in imitation of Wat
teau, s minature pastoral scene, in which
a coquetish shepherdess in a miraculous
toilet ot pink and blue is smiling archly
at the clouded face of her disconsolate
swain, the little lambs meantime nib
bling the green grass under the shede of
spreading trees.
The drawing and coloring was good, the
subject in itself pleasing, yet there was
something about the atmosphere of the
picture most peculiar. Was it the rather
unusual effect of a gray, misty back
ground into which the brighter colors
melted, and what was it that, while the
paint was delicately and smoothly laid
on. gave the figures and foliaze an aimost
padded appearance? Suddenly it struck
me there was something unusual about
the velvety softness of the groundwork
on which the picture was erected.
I asked inv hostess, and she replied: “1
paid SI,OOO for that little curiosity of art,
but if you will guess correctly, without
touching, what the backing is composed
of you shall take it home in your car
riage.” Accepting the challenge. I ran
through all the list of fabrics that I knew
could hold oils, but without success.
To be brief, mv guessing was of no
avail, and I had to be told that the myste
rious picture was painted upon cobwebs.
That the process was known only to one
living man, a London artist, who by lay
ing on each corner successive cobwebs,
forued a sort of canvas strong enough to
withstand the light strokes of his brush.
1 marveled, congratulated my friend
upon the acquisition to her collection, and
added: “So rare and fragile a curio should
be kept in a cabinet.”
“Yes, I have ordered a pretty little
affair ot glass and carved wood on pur
pose for its preservation,” she replied.
Yesterday I met this same lady. She
looked sad’; the reason was soon ex
plained. "My dear, you had scarcely left
the other day when the wife and sister ol
Prof. S ,of Y ale, came to call. In my
childish vanity I was displaying mv new
knickknacks to them, and. while I was
unfolding that Kensington figure in ta
pestry for Mrs. S„ her sister-in-law, one
of those large-boned, angular, inquisitive
kind ot women, picked up my Moxon cob
web before I could speak, raised it tu her
face, and, between her near-sightedness
and curiosity, ran her long, sharp, New
England nose right through it.”
REPAIRS AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
Annual Overhauling of the Executive
Mansion.
Owing to the President’s residing in
Washington longer than usual this sum
mer, says the Star, the customary over
hauling of the White House has been de
layed somewhat. In view of his early de
parture, however, the work is being rap
idly pushed to completion. All the car
pets have been taken up and cleaned, the
lambrequins and heavy curtains removed,
and the furniture draped in linen covers.
Large rolls of matting now stand in the
main corridor, to be placed upon the floor
of the East room. Workmen were re
cently engaged in taking apart two of4he
three'monster crystal chandeliers of the
East room. Each of these chandeliers
consists of nickel framework surrounded
by 5.000 pendant crystals, and it is no
sgiall work to dismember them and re
store them correctly. Heretofore it has
been the custom to take them apart
every year or so and thoroughly clean the
zlass.’ This year, however, it is intended
to take down the nickeled framework
and send it to Philadelphia to be replated.
This has never been done since the cnan
deliers were put up. in the third year of
President Grant’s first term. Only two
chandeliers are to be removed at present,
the north and south ones. The crystals as
they are removed are carefully packed in
sawdust in large wooden boxes. They
will remain there until the framework is
returned from Philadelphia, when the
glass pieces will be removed, carefullj'
cleaned, and restored to their proper
places. The central chandelier will re
main, while the others are gone, to illu
minate the room in case of necessity, and
to serve as a model for reconstructing the
others. It will then be taken down and
go through the same course of treatment.

Is a very good thing, and where real merit
is advertised success is assured, but in
our days every little shebang with no ad
vantages to back it, advertise, and if you
believe everything you read you will cer
tainly get le'ft. Here is a ease in point:
If you read all the advertisements of the
Savannah clothing stores, you would
think that they must be almost giving the
goods away, but if you try every one of
them you will find that the’ Famous New
York Clothing House will give you better
goods and lower prices than all others.

“When Greek Meets Greek then Comes
the Tug of War.”
The heading of our advertisement is
very appropriate when applied to our
trade, for there is constant war among
clothi. g dealers, especially this season of
the year. One will claim to do more than
’ the other. It is needless lor us to say that
we are the cheapest and most popular
Clothiers in the city, tor our past reputa
tion speaks for our future, as we have
never failed to do what we say. We will
now inform the public that tor the re
mainder of this season we will offer great
inducements in the balance of our Sum
mer Stock. Straw and Manilla Hats we
will sell at New York cost price, and
Clothing at a very small margin. All
those who wi:h to avail themselves of this
rare opportunity will find it to their in
terest to come early.

Will Tou Just Listen To This?
11 every man who walks the streets of
Savannah alone carried conspicuously on
his back a large card having on it the
name of his clothier, a majority of our
young men, old men and boys would be
walking advertisements of Simon Mitch
ell's popularity as a purveyor of clothing
to the public. There is surely something
substantial in this popularity. It is not
based on friendship, as it is an old estab
lished fact that a man’s friends nearly
always patronize somebody else. The
secret is no secret at all—it pays them to
get their clothing from Mitchell. They
get qualitv and variety, and above all a
reliable lit. Then Mitchell’s prices are
never more and oftener less than other
houses will charge for slouchy, ill-fitting
goods. The hot season will, like everything
else, have an end, and Mitchell does not
propose to have any summer goods to car
ry over, and no reasonable chance to trade
will he let slip. If you want a dress suit,
a business suit, or a cool Seersucker, now
is the time to get it at a merely nominal
value. His line of Furnishing Goods will
be similarly dealt with. Call and take a
look and get prices—nobody is compelled
to buy. Sign of the Golden Arm, 159

Marshall House.
The uniform scale of prioes, the eleganee
of cuisine, the comfortable, o’eanly and
home-like appearance or apartments, have
placed this popular hotel among the most
prominent of the South, which reflects
great credit on its manager, who leaves
nothing undone to enhance the comfort of
Its numerous patrons.
The Harnett House, Savannah.
The wonder of those who go to the Har
nett House, in Savannah, is that so excel
lent a table and such comfortable rooms
can be offered to the public at such mini
mum rates. Without exaggeration, the
table of the Harnett is as good as that of
the Screven House, and the rates just one
half as large. Courteous treatment makes
up the sum of its attractions. The public
largely testified their appreciation.—
