Kzue Emmett Makes a Lively Hit in
Killarney.
Kane Emmett played to a good house
last oight in "Killarney."’ The play is not
. one, but it is a good one. and Miss
j-rr.mett and her company made the most
. It is a play with a story, and a
lf ry good story. It tells of life among
middle and lower classes of Ireland a
century ago. an epoch filled with dramatic
incidents of the most thrilling character.
i in the narration of the story co
jcrence and interest are not lost by the
introduction of extraneous Incidents.
There are several sensational climaxes,
but they belong to the narrative.
Mr. Edwin Milton Royle will be seen
•e.r the first time in Savannah to-night in
his play, “Friends.” During their south
tour Selina Fetter Royle has been en
;■ u.-iastically received. The Fetters are
,: the oldest and purest colonial blood In
America. On her maternal side Mrs.
jjoyle is a lineal descendant of Lady
cots wood and Bishop John Thompson,
ot si. Mark's parish, Culpeper county,
Virginia. As Selena Fetter there was no
more charming lady in southern society
,ban Mrs. Royle. She has many friends
and connections in society here who will
give her a cordial welcome. She will be
t.membered here as being Robson and
Crane's leading lady and shared their
ioint success. She also appeared here as
leading lady with Salvini. It was dur
ir.u her engagement with Salvini that she
last met her husband, Edwin Milton
Royle.
The story of the play relates to the ad
ventures of two young men, each of
whom tries to out do the other in the mat
ter of self-sacrifice. One of a musician of
g-eat but unrecognized genius, and the
other a poet who has been disowned by
bis father for his devotion to literature.
They are both reduced to such straits as
to be obliged to live in a garret and share
between them one decent suit of clothes
they possess. Both love a great opera
singer, who, unknown to herself, is a ti
tled heiress. The director of the opera
house is a scheming villian who learns of
it and tries to win her through the
knowledge he possesses of a crime her
= tepfather committed. The opera singer
hues the musician, and the poet sacrifices
himself for his friend, and work for the
happiness of both. Finally the poet and
his father discover they love each other,
and are reconciled. The ftntslelan wins
fame and marries the prima donna and
their happiness is won. The dialogue is
said to be spirited and witty, and the com
ely situations very amusing, white a
strong dramatic story underlies It all.
Miss Ellen Beach Yaw will make her
first appearance In Savannah Monday
night, Jan. 2s. In a column criticism re- ,
gently published the New York Herald
says: "A soprano who ran sing high C j
and sustain the note well Is supposed to
have a good vocal range, but Miss Yaw
■an sing E above high E. Christine Nil
son used to drive her audience Into the
seventh heaven of enthusiasm by sing
ing high F sharp in Mozarl’s “Magic
Flute.” Miss Yaw sings F sharp without
an effort, and sustain., the note with the !
Fweetest quality. The highest vocal range
of a singer recorded by his
tory was lhat of Lucrezia AJugari.
Mozart says that in 1771) he heard this
roprano range from A below middle C to
C above the high C. It was a range of
twenty-four notes. Ajugari could execute
trills on the high D. This is noted in the
Encyclopedia Brltannica as the only
known Instance of the kind. Miss Yaw
van sing lower than Ajugari and three
notes higher in the upper register.
fine of the most singular things about
Miss Yaw’s singing, indeed, the thing
that ha attracted the most attention, is
that a singer who possesses such a high
range should be able to sing in her lower
r> gis ter with the breath of a contralto.
A ihroat specialist who examined Miss
Yaw’s larynx recently said that her vocal
cords were finer than any he had ever seen
or heard of.
BANK INTEREST.
Borne Reasons Why It Should Be Re
duced.
Editor Morning News: Is there good
reason why the banks should charge 8
per cent, interest? Are investments so
profitable that they can afford to defray
such heavy interest charges?
The first question requires considerable
discussion by reason of the radical changes
which have taken place in the various
money centers. Almost everybody is fa
miliar with these changes and we will
tontine ourselves closely to the question
first named. AVhen money was tight and
only to be obtained by offering the very
best securities, the rates were advanced
in all the money markets. Our Savannah
banks followed up in line and during the
most stringent period, raised their rates
as high as 10 per cent., which action was
perfectly justified under the existing cir
cumstances. Confidence had been shat
tered throughout the country by failures
of banks and other large business houses.
But this disastrous tide has receded and
we are now enjoying somewhat better and
easier times in both monetary and com
mercial spheres. The rates have been re
duced in the great money markets to even
a lower rate than they have been before
the panic times. What is the reason that
our banks don't reduce their rates of i*
terest if they can hire money at the same
or even at a lower rate than before. The
rresent rate of interest is not in accord
with our present situation and our in
comes on investments.
Now for a second question. Is there any
rfal estate holder in Savannah who nets
on his investments the same amount that
bo did two or three years ago?
is there any merchant in Savannah
row who make3 as large profits on his
"ares as he did in 1891 or 1892?
Is there any brokerage bustness or any
Insurance agency, or any branch of bus
iness that has the same earning capacity
"hich it had two years ago?
We all know that most everyone repre
senting any of the aforenamed interests
r-quires at times a loan, and when the
rates of interest are in excess to the in
come of his securities it will most natur
ally retard his progress in business. Does
any one wish to borrow money for an in
vestment and see no chance, or very little,
to make any profit out of It?
Let the banks fall in line with the money
earning reductions, the same as all the
rest. I think that a lower rate of Interest,
say 8 per cent., would tend to encourage
all investments which, of necessity, bring
money into circulation, and would help to
reduce the general depression among the
laboring and business men. Our bank of
ficials in the different banks are good bus
iness men, and I trust they will look upon
'his suggestion as offered in the proper
spirit, and in their good judgment will take
a tive and immediate steps in this direc
tion and give this rate of interest reduc
tion a fair trial. Merchant.

JAMES ACHILLE DE CARADEUC.
The Death of an Estimable and Accom
plished Charlestonian.
Mr. James Achtlle de Caradeuc. an old
| nnd esteemed citizen of Charleston, whose
! death occurred in that city last Monday,
! had many friends in this city. The Morn
ing News had an announcement of his
death the day after its occurrence. The
Charleston News and Courier of Jan. 13
thus speaks of him:
The death of Mr. de Caradeuc removes
from familiar view an aged and respected
citizen, an accomplished gentleman and
a man of untarnished honor and integrity.
His grandfather, Gen. Jean Biptiste
de Caradeuc, commander-in-chief of the
royal forces at the time of the insurrection
in San Domingo, came with his son as a
refugee to South Carolina in 1754, and
purchased the plantation formerly the
property of Thomas Beresford, in St.
Thomas Farish. Here Mr. de Caradeuc
was born in ISIS. While an Infant he lost
his father from an accident in the hunt
ing field, and as a mere boy was sent to
France for his education, where, after
the usual preparation, he enjoyed the best
advantages at the Ecole Polytechnique,
In Paris. He returned to Charleston in
1839 and settled near Aiken, where he be
came a pioneer in the cultivation of
grapes and in the making of domestic
wines.
Alter the war he abandoned planting
and removed to Charleston.having receiv
ed the appointment of eng:neer-in-chief
and land agent of the Soth Carolina rail
way. a position he held until his death.
As land agent he recovered thousands
of acres for the road, and was familiar
with every foot of the company's land.
Never did corporation have more loyal
service. His zeal in securing the com
pany's rights was as though his personal
interest lay with the success of his en
deavors. Mr. de Caradeuc was a very
accomplished man, a botanist, a skilled
horticulturist, a man of large and varied
information; he was also a very beautiful
artist. Asa miniaturist and copyist he
had not his equal In the state
Mr. de Caradeuc was the descendant of
an ancient and noble family of Bretagne,
deriving descent from Raoul de Caradeuc,
Seigneur de la Bellangerie, ambassador
from Jean IV. and the duchess, Jeanne
of Bretagne, to the kings of France and
England in 1376. This family produced in
France many distinguished min In the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries
chief of whom was the celebrated presi
dent of the parliament of Brittany, De
Caradeuc de la Chalotais, generally known
in history as La Chalotais (from the name
of his estate)—the cousin and correspond
ent of Mr. de Caradeuc's grandfather.
The unjust arrest and imprisonment of
La Chalotais in the reign of Louis XV.
almost caused a revolution in Bretagne.
His justfleation he wrote in prison with
a toothpick dipped in soot, and Voltaire,
his warm admirer, averred that his tooth
pick had achieved immortality. lajuls
X\M. in atonement for his ill treatment,
raised the Da Caradeuc family to the
marquisate. La Chalotais’ son was guil
lotined in the French revolution. Mr.
de Caradeuc's immediate ancestors had
been for some generations previous to the
time of his grandfather, rich sugar plant
ers in San Domingo, and at the time of
the insurrection his grandfather. Count
Jean Baptiste de Caradeuc (as he is term
ed in a contemporaneous royal deed), was
commander-in-chief of the royal forces on
the island, having been previously raised
to the still more distinguished position
of liuetenants of the marshals of France.
Of his grandfather’s three sisters and
ten nieces none but two married be
neath the rank of countess, and from
these ladies are descended many noble
families in France at the present day.
Mr. de Caradeuc's family papers prob
ably form as interesting a collection as
any in South Carolina, comprising, as they
do, the original parchments of his grand
father’s appointment as a lieutenant of
the marshals of France, his commission
as general-in-chief of the king's troops
in San Domingo (signed by Louis XVI.)
besides many letters written to his grand
father from persons of eminence and polit
ical distinction.
But it was in his c*wn character that
Mr. de Caradeuc best exemplified the
qualities of a true nobleman; no man
was ever more unaffected and unpretend
ing; and an ancient simplicity of heart and
manners that seem almost to have gone
out with the generation of to-day kept him
fresh and young beyond his years. To
South Carolina first, and then to his be
loved France, was his entire loyalty given.
A man of strong prejudices, he ever cher
ished the traditions of the old south as
productive of a finer civilization than
that of to-day, and to the confederacy he
gave the lives of two sons, who distin
guished themselves for gallantry on many
a battlefied of Virginia.
Of a singularly reserved and reticent,
though sweet and lovable nature, his in
timacies were rare, and his life apart from
the glare of publicity. In the end he met
the only foe he had ever known wilh a
courage and a dignity in harmony with
his entire life, and so he went forth like
some patriarch of old, crowned with the
devotion and reverence of a small inner
circle, and with the absolute respect and
trust of all who knew him. "So passeth
the just man."
Mr. de Caradeuc married in 1840 a daugh
ter of the late Antonio della Torre, who,
with a son, St. Julien de Caradeuc, of this
city, and a daughter, Mrs. J. Ouerard Hey
ward, of Savannah, survives him.
THEY EVEN DIE SLOWLY.
600 Philadelphians Rounded Out an
Octogenarian Existence Last Year.
From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
There was published in the Public
Ledge of July 4 a record of the deaths an
nounced in our obituary columns during
the first half of the year 1854 of those
who had lived to or beyond the age of
80 years. The total for that period was 433,
of whom 164 were men and 289 women,
the latter outnumbering the men by 105.
During the last half of 1891, to Dec. 31,
there were announcements in the Public
Ledger columns of the death of 370 persons
who had lived to or beyond the advanced
age nf 80 years. Of these 163 were men
and 207 women, the latter outnumbering
the former by 41.
The total number of deaths of octogena
rians, nonogenarians and centenarians
announced in.the Public Ledger during
1894 was 801, there being 323 men and 476
women, thus again emphasizing the usual
preponderance of women. Of the males,
43 reached or passed the age of 90. and
their combined ages make a total of
4,003 years, while the aggregate ages of
the 81 women, aged DO or over, give 7,571
years.

THE AST MAS.
A Useful Individual in the Tropics Who
Fights the Insects With Smoke.
From the Chicago Times.
To look at the mild, timid ants of our
. 00l climates, which run at the sight or
sound of people, build their humble nests
under a stone or the roots of trees, and
content themselves with gentlemanly lit
tle thefts of seeds or grain, or such small
mattirs—to look at these gentle little fel
lows you would never Imagine that there
arc some branches of their family, distinct
cousins, which are fierce in the pursuit of
their human neighbors' goods, so strong
and so intelligent that even grown men
are afraid of them, and sometimes whole
villages turn out to fight them. But it is
so, and these eyes of mine have looked
upon them and their ruthless doings.
The formiga, as the destroyer is called,
constructs a citadel for Itself under
ground. Its only communication with the
world above being by secret passages. If
it can find any woo<J;li< e thereabout, it
captures and carries them home, makes
a yard for them, a veritable farm yard,
and keeps them content by furnishing
a supply of frpsh leaves every day. Just
for all the world as we feed our farm
stock. The formiga is a marauder of its
own kindred, too, making raids on its
weaker cousins and bearing off (heir eggs,
which. In due course of hatching, become
the slaves of their captors.
Usually the people of those tropical re
gions pay little attention to the doings of
the formiga. The come and go as they
list, running over the rooms, tables,
dishes; they are fished out of the butter,
tapped out of the bread and cake. It is
all a matter of course.
But when these sturdy little fellows In
vade the house in swarms, and a warm
reception—boiling water—falls to diminish
the nuisance, then the service of the ant
man becomes necessary, and he is sent for
in hot haste. His stock in trade is an
enormous bellows, and a load of a certain
kind of wood found In the neighboring
forests. After stopping up all the open
ings leading tinder the house, except a
central one, he enlarges that nnd forms
It into a furnace that will admit the pipe
of the bellows.
Then he lights a fire, and with the aid
of the great bellows forces the smoke into
the ant citadel under the surface of the
ground. Of course these are very porous,
and when the smoke passes through them
It goes out into the house above. Then
the ant man leaves an assistant lo work
the bellows and going into the house
stops up every aperture and crack that
he can find.
Meanwhile there is a wild rommotton
among these doomed inserts whose home
is being bomhardPd with smoko. They
understand their danger with the very
first puff that reaches them, and know
that their only hope is flight. They all
hasten to the central chamber, where
their precious eggs are stored. At a given
signal from their chief each one seizes
an egg, then all turn in haste into the sub
terranean passages that lead into the
garden, deserting their homes nnd care
fully stored stock of provisions, but hold
ing fast to the treasured eggs
But there before them are cruel wreaths
of blue smoke. They turn and rush to
another passage. The same thing there.
Asa forlorn hope the poor ants—we can't
help feeling sorry for them after all
run into the old deserted galleries, or set
to work to make new ones, hoping their
enemy will not find them there at least.
But the ant man is patrolling the
grounds around the house. As the old or
new galleries are cleared out by the brave
little ants the smoke penetrates them and
comes to the surface in a thin wreath.
They are thus betrayed as well as smoth
ered, and a stroke of the spade ends their
frantic efforts to escape.
All this time fresh quantities of the hot
smoke are being forced through their
highways and byways, and the frail bod
ies of the formiga are shriveling and
dropping along their line of attempted re
treat. Soon they cease to struggle. They
cannot breathe the rarified, smoke-laden
air. The next day when the soil has
cooled off, they are found calcined in
their once busy galleries, their roasted
eggs at their sides. Poor little creatures!
But their human victims call the ant
man a blessing.
HIS CLAIM ON GLORY.
A Chicago Congressman Bases It on
His Punch.
From the Washington Post.
Every really great man has invented a
salad, but Congressman Goldzier of Chi
cago lias done more than that—he has
Invented a punch. lie can, to be sure,
dress a salad with the touch of a genius;
his lobster ala Neubcrg is second only
10 tho marvelous dainty which
Col. John It. Fellows con
cocts, and his Welsh rarebit
Is such as one finds not twice in a life
time. But when Mr. Goldzier looks with
especial favor on any of his friends he
brews a punch that he boldly declares
cannot be surpasesd by any tn the world.
This is how lie does It: He takes half
a large pineapple and slices It as thin
as may be. To this he adds a few tea
spoonfuls of sugar and half a bottle of
Moselle or light Rhine wine, covers It
carefully and sets it away to ripen for
twenty-four hours. Then he strains the
mixture through a napkin, adds to it
two bottles of Moselle and one bottle
of claret. Next he makes a sugar syrup
and sweetens his punch to taste. Lastly,
Just before the punch is to be served,
he adds the other half of the pineapple,
sliced fine, and a quart of champagne.
The result—well, the result Is as impos
sible to describe as the scent of crimson
roses of the blue of a midsummer sky.
Mr. Goldzier says it Is the best punch in
the world, and nobody who hall tasted
it has ever yet argued the qestion with
him. ■ - -
