Friday and Saturday Nights and Satur
day Matinee—Ftederiok Wards lu “The
Lion’s Mouth," and "The Mountebank.”
Al Field’s minstrels gave the first per
formance of their two night’s engagement
last night. It takes a strong attraction to
draw more than a small audience Satur
day night in Savannah, but Field’s
minstrels did it. The audience was larger
than has been seen in the theater
Saturday night in a long time.
The performance was first-class. It is
original and unique, and without exaggera
tion it oan be put down as one of
the best ever seen in Savannah.
The soecialties are exoellent. The "Phan
tom Patrol," a drill in which the lights are
almost turned out, aDd the marchers,
dressed lu pure white, go through beautiful
evolutions before a background of jet set
ting is a masterpiece of artistlo arrange
ment. The stage setting In the first part of
the performance is one of its features. The
company *ill be here to-morrow night and
it will hardly fail, after its flattering Intro
duction last night, to play to a full bouse.

Lion's Mouth." This play has been the
cause of a great deal of surprise among
theater-goers on acoount of its lan
guage and remarkably strong plot.
“ Is said to be full
°f thrilling interest, with a vein of pure
comedy running through it, interpreted by
a remarkably strong company, and admir
®''ly presented from a scenic and costume
standpoint. Saturday night Mr. Wards

Mrs. Soott-Siddons purposes returning to
the stage this winter. She has a plav,
called ' ’The Adventuress,” a translation by
Henry St. Maur, of "L’Aventurier.” It
was from this French play that T. W. Rob
ertson took "Home.”
A party of newspaper men and others
beard Mr. Duvalle L. S'ernberger read
his play “Cad’s Legacy” Friday evening,
and pronounced it an excellent effort on
the part of the gifted young author. “ Cad’s
Legacy” Is a oomedy-drama in two acts and
the scenes are located in New York state.
The story is clear cut and neatly told. It
will shortly be produced by the best local
talent for a charitable purpose, and will
doubtless prove a genuine success.
There is a good story told at Sol Smith
Russell's expense. It runs thus: After the
performance of the now play, “Peaceful
Valley,” at Taooma, an Englishman of ap
parent culture waited to have a word with
tne star. “You are,” said he to Mr. Rus
sell, “an actor of real promise. I have en
joyed your performance so highly that I
venture in a spirit of admiration to venture
a suggestion. I trust lam not offending?"
"Oh no; not at all," urged Mr. Russell.
"Go on. my dear sir; I am only too glad too
hear suggestions.” "Well, thon,” continued
the stranger, "it occurs to me that you
would do well in comedy; have you ever
tried to do a comic part?”

A REFORM IN *HE MARKET.
Inspector Desvergers After the Chick
en Coops Again.
Inspector Desvergers of the Citizens’ San
itary Association, in bis report of inspec
tions for the week just closed, says that
food produce of all kinds in the Savannah
market was abundant and of good quality.
He says, however, that there are yet condi
tions about the market house which are a
reproach to the sanitary authorities of the
oity.
While the condition of the poultry de
partment has been greatly improved by
the exclusion of portable fowl ooods from
the upper portion of the building, portable
coops crowded with fowl and in a very un
siru ary condition are still carried into the
vault apartments und the passageways of
the basement. The effluvia arising from
these coops does not contribute toward
whetting the appetl'es of those who patron
ize the restaurauts iu the basement.
The sagaoity whioh suggested the reform
ation in the handling of poultry, the in
spector thinks, should uo; have exhausted
itself lu the upper part of the building, but
should have extended to the basement; und
so far as to require all fowls brought In
coops to the oity to be immediately trans
ferred from the coops in wbioh they were
brought to clean ones. Much complaint, the
inspector rays, is made of the annoyance
experienced by citizens from the effluvia of
unclean coops placed on the street around
the market, and at other places, and the
filth dusted out of the coops on the streets.
The inspector reporting upon the
drainage condition around the oity,
says that the sanitary condition of the
lands behind the Lovers lane set
tlement has been so much improved
by the deepening and converting into a
closed draiu of the old ditch which leads
southward, as to suggest the expe
diency of a like improvement on
the other open drains iu the imme
diate vicinity of the city. Open drains will
always be a source of disappointment and
expense, he says, as long as cattle are
allowed to run at large.
The inspector also reports a great im
provement in the sanitary condition of the
lauds on Hutchinson’s Island, recently sold by
the city, by the opening of the drains and
repairs to the banks by the company which
purchased the property. The entire strip
between the wharves and the front dam on
the Island, owned by various persons and
companies, tho inspector says, is in a very
unsanitary condition.
IN RUSSIA WOMEN GAMBLE.
The Manta Has Spread Through All the
Higher Ranks.
FYowt the St. Louie Republic.
In no other part of the world has gam
bling developed to suoh an extent as In
Russia. Like an epidemic It has seized upon
the higher classes of society, chiefly the
nobility and persons of leisure, who Btake
and lose large fortunes on games of chance,
utterly r.gardless of oousequenocs, which
are often sad indeed. Evory elegantly ap
pointed home has Its blllard and card rooms,
and in the latter as many os fifteen tables
may be found occupied at one time; and
the play is frequently continued all
through the night until daylight warns
the excited people that it is time to cease.
Gambling in Russia is not confined to the
male sex alone, for ladiee constantly visit
the clubs and are quite as reckless in their
play as the father, husband or brother, who
accompanies them. Daring the excite
ment of gambling persons of both sexes in
dulge in cigarette smoking, and it is quite
amusing to see how ileftly ladies will pre
pare and roll the little comfor.ers. The
Lenten season is a particularly happy time
for tho indulgence of this pastime, as balls
and many otber forms of gayety are then
prohibited. The tchinovniks (officials) of
tho empire are luveterate gamblers, and in
proportion to their ineaus play for quite as
high stake* os the nobility.
A CARD OF THANKS.
Since our entering into the mercantile fold of Savannah we have been
the recipients of the most liberal patronage at the hands ot the people
of this city, and beg to express our sincere appreciation for the spontane
ous preference given us, which speaks volumes in recognition of our
well-directed efforts to always please our thousands of patrons.

The inauguration of the new line, which
General Passenger Agent Wrenn an
nounced from Knoxville yesterday, gives
two oompeting lines for Atlanta and Savau
nah through travel, and will be a con
venience whioh the public will appreciate.
The Savannah, Florida and Western rail
way and other roads bat put on a through
sleeper from Cincinnati to Tampa, via
Thomatville, and new trains were put on
known as the Louisville and Nashville
limited, which carry the sleeper. The train
goes to Florida from Thomosville over the
Mootlcello branch.
The East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
railroad will inaugurate to-night a through
line of Pullman drawing-room sleeping cars
between Savannah and Atlanta, leaving
Savannah at 7:25 pu m., arriving at Atlanta
7:15 the next morning, and leaving Atlanta
7:20 p. m., arriving iu Savannah 6:55 A m.
This line is two mile* shorter than any
other. All passenger trains arrive and de
part from the union depot at Atlanta.
General Passenger Agont VVren telegraphed
the Mornino Nkws last night that the
new train will be known os the Gat. City
special and will make connections in the
union depot with all trains going east and
west.
J. C. Shaw, for many years connected
with the Georgia Central, has been ap-
Eolnted passenger agent of this line with
eadquarters at Savannah. His offloe will
be at the Bull street office of the Savannah,
Florida and Western railway.
The friends of Mr. Shaw will be glad to
welcome him back to Savannah.
It is a general custom for young writers
when they want to get off a particularly
fine joke on the negro to locate the scene of
action in or somewhere around Savannah.
Here Is one from the New York Recorder
on a Pullman car porter that is supposed to
be looated somewhere in this section and
that ecme one may appreciate:
I bad asked the colored porter at the de
pot if the train from Savannah was on
time, and he replied in the affirmative,
when another oolored man came up and In
quired:
“Didn’t yo' want to know sumthln’, sah?”
"I was asking him If the train was on
time.”
"And what did he say, sah?"
"He said it was.”
“Huh I Dat's all he knows 'bout it I Dat
pusson, sah, or’ employed to sweep out de
depot an' fill up d6 water cans.”
“And youT
"While I, sah, ar’ employed to put de
checks on de baggage an’ put de baggage on
de kyars. Yo’ wanted to know if de train
was'on time, sah. No, sah, it ain’t, sah.
De train ar’ jist exactly two seconds late,
sah!”

Evolution.
Blow ye winds: howl ye tempest;
Roar ye madden ocean; roar.
Flash forth ye bolts of hellish spleen.
Boom, boom through space to earth
Ye forked tongues of nature's fury;
Unlock you flood-lock gates; open wide.
Forever must man by your will abide.
Mr. Editor : Last evening, seated iu my
evening ohalr, I read the above stanza from
De Argue’s master French poem, entitled:
"Nature's Voice,” which I think was bis
last effort, as it Is dated Aug. 12, 1756, and
his death is ohronloled Sept. 3, 1756. Had
this gifted mind existed In the present age,
how unreasonable his work would appear—
for instance, in the last line of the first
stanza, he says:
"Forever must man by your will abide.”
This is indeed the ago of progress. How
little wo heed In this enlightened age
"Nau.ie’s Voice.” By Fulton we no longer
ride the mighty deep with dread; by
Stephenson how we rush over hill and river;
how Franklin rested bis (hellish spleen)
lightning. To-day we force nature to open
wide her floodgates as we need them; and
last, but not least, the ever changing condi
tion of our atmosphere no longer affects
our physical being. Through the efforts of
Dryfus Bros., the enterprising clothiers,
batters, furnishers and shoe dealers, Con
gress and Jefferson streets, who are ever
looking after the interest of suffering
humanity by placing reasonable wearing
apparel of high grade at low figures so as to
give to every condition of life all that mor
tal man can wish for.
