of "The Character of Lee.” “Our Recent

world cannot but admire his great ability

w.uie we, tin people of the South, both
love and honor his memory. We honor
him for his Justice, his love of duty, his
firmness in carrying out his purposes and
his pure life. We love him for his tender

AT THE THEATER.
Reed and Hash Entertain In "The
Woman Hater.’’
Mr. Roland Reed and Miss Isadore Rush
were seen in "The Woman Hater," an ec
centric comedy last night. For a long
dime Mr. Reed has been visiting Savannah
annually and a theatrical season with
out him would be lacking.
"The Woman Hater” is not the best of
Mr. Reed’s plays, but it serves its purpose
and the character which the star takes is
peculiarly adapted to hi? style and manner
of acting. As the woman hater, who real
ly did not hale, Mr. Rved was very fine.
It was something new to see Mr. Reed
wearing a monocle, but he wore it as if
he was used to it and had no difficulty
in keeping it in place.
Miss Isadore Rush shares the stellar
honors with Mr. Reed and she is certainly
entitled to them. Miss Rush is one of the
most charming and delightful actresses on
the stage. Her manner is simply capti
vating and it is no wonder that Mr. Reed
lost his hatred for woman. Miss Rush
wore five different gowns—every one of
them marvelous creations. She also sang
two songs—“coon” songs’at that—but they
were done in such a delightful manner
that Miss Rush could be forgiven.
' Mr. Charles S. Abbe gave an excellent
portrayal of the ex-professor, who was a
maniac under protein. All of the charac
ters were in good hands.
The following was the cast:
Samuel Bundy Roland Reed
Horace Mullbrldge Chas. S. Abbe
George Robbins Sheridan Tapper
Tom Ripley Chas. Lothian
Dr. Lane L. P. Hicks
Orlando Haw kins Julian Reed
Thompson James Douglass
James S. A. Gordon
William Chas. Hardie
Mrs. Walton Mrs. Mary Myers
Alice Lane Miss Mabel Florence
Mrs. Lucy Joy Miss Isadore Rush
To-night's attraction is William Gil
lette’s “Secret Service,” which was seen
here two years ago. The company pre
senting the play is working its way East
from the Pacific coast, and is the same
I that Gillette himself has been acting with
{ on the Pacific coast, and which he left but
recently to stage his new play, “Because
! She Loved Him So," at the Boston Mu
! seum. Mr. Gillette has a pleasing person
| ality, but he is said not to be a better
! actor than Mr. Byron Douglas, who was
| called to take his place; so that the action
j of the play does not suffer in the absence
! of the avthor actor.
! “Secret Service” is a war play, with no
! pretention of being historically accurate,
and is called a romance. It is a war play.
! grim in spots, overflowing wilh distress and
darkened with shadows that follow wars;
yet it does not Sermonize pn the wrights
or wrongs of the conflict, nor glitter with
eloquent heroics; nor is it a p.ay concoct
ed -to please the Norihern side of reason
ing. It is more of a Southern play, show
ing the honor and valor of Southern sol
diers. Of the only two Aankees that fig
ure in it one—Lewis Dumont—is a 1 spy
who is masquerading in Confederate uni
form in Richmond, white employed in the
secret service of lhe United States. The
other is his brother, a prisoner of war.
The spy, Dumont, is known in .Richmond
| as Capt. Thorne, of the Confederate army,
in a fal-e position he wins the love of
Edith Vailhey. Finally suspicion falls
upon him and he is hunted down by
an agent of. the Confederate service. The
scene hi the telegraph room is one of the
most striking on the stage. He is suppos
ed to iqe sending dispatches to mislead and
betray the Confederates, and is shot in
the hand, but remains cool and smokes
as Gillctle smokes. He is condemned to be
shot; but it is found (hat the dispatch was
not sent, and his life is spared. The play
will be given here ai three performances,
to-night, to-morrow afternoon and to-mor
row night.

PREACHERS TO TAKE A HAMJ.
Coloretl Pastors Sot Averse to Get
ting; Into the Cnmpnlrcn Silt.
It seems probable the color. <1 preachers
will take a part among their people in the
municipal set-to.
Rev. J. J. Durham, pastor of the Green
Square Baptist Church, seems to think
the colored people have not yet made up
their minds whom they will support. Un
til! all the candidates have been an
nounced, he says, no intelligent voter can
say what party he favors. The fact the
character and ability of the men to run
should have much to do with influencing
voters, makes it impossible for them to
make up their minds before 'the names
have been announced.
'The objections urged against colored
preachers for taking a hand in politics are
not well founded,” said Rev. Durham.
"Where it would not be proper for white
ministers to influence their congregations
politically, I think it the duty of most all
the colored preachers. White people are
better educated; are well able to exercise
good judgement in selecting candidates to
support, and do not need the advice of
those who have studied the situation. Such
is not the case with the negroes, many of
whom have not had the advantages, of
learning, and for thaj reason, cannot ful
fill their duty as citizens unless advised
to avoid falling iflto the deceptive net pol
iticians prepare for them. What the
preachers should advocate in elections is
for their people to support the best men,
those who are for the enforcement of the
law, have the city's progress at heart, and
favor treating all citizens the same.
"Because a man decides to preach, does
that disfranchise him?” asked Rev. Dur
ham. “I can see no harm whatever in
their taking an active part in politics; up
on the contrary, I believe it is their duty
where they feel their services are needed.
It seems it would be preposterous for some
of our white brethren to take the stump,
since their congregations know best whom
they desire to support, and are fully ca
pacitated to select good men,.for public of
fice. Moreover, there are plenty of speak
ers to go among the white people, but
who is there to take up this work for the
colored people if the preachers don’t do
it?”
It Is understood most of the preachers
will get into the fight in the next day or
two. Rev. Durham seems to think they
are not yet pledged to any particular can
didate, and says he has not even been ap
proached.

Elsewhere.
A circular is being issued by the pas
senger department of the Centra! of Geor
gia Railroad announcing the appointment
of Mr. D. D. Stansell to be Northern pas
senger agent of the line, with headquar
ters at Chicago. The appointment be
comes effective Jan. 19. Mr. Stansell, who
has been in the office here as chief rate
clerk for some months, will leave in a
day or two for Chicago to assume the du
ties of his new position. He has made
many friends during his stay in Savan
nah, and they will lie sorry to see him
go. Mr. Stansell has had long and valua
ble experience in the passenger depart
ments of some of the leading lines, and he
will doubtless make a splendid represen
tative of the Central in his territory to
which he has been assigned. He came to
the Central from the "P.ig Four,” with
which he was connected at Cincinnati.
Mr. 9. B. Webb will be succeeded at Chi

REA’. E. R. HABERSHAM DEAD.
Died in Portland, Ore., at 84 A’enr*
Of \ge.
The Morning Oregonian of Portland,
Ore., anflounees the death in Portland, on
Jan. 9, of Rev. Barnard Elliott” Haber
sham, for fifteen years rector of St.
Matthew’s Episcopal Church, In that city.
Rev. Mr. Elliott Habersham was
84 years of age last Septem
ber, and, although he had ltegn vis
, ibly failing for the past six months, he
kept up his work with unflagging energy,
conducting services regularly, and mak
ing itis round of calls on the sick and af
flicted of his flock, in a notice of his
death the Oregonian says:
“He had been in his usual health of late,
and on Saturday came down town in the
storm to call on the board of charities in
the interest of a needy family in his par
ish. He preached Sunday < venirtg as
usual, and seemed to be in Itis usual
health when he retired that ’evening. In
ihe morning, when b■ was getting up, he
was seized with a pain in the chest, and
called his daughter. A physician was
summoned as speedily as possible, but he
was unable to render any aid. Mr. Haber
sham told the physician when he arrived
that he was dying, and in a very short
time breathed his last. It is supposed that
he had taken cold, which brought on con
gestion of the lungs, which, in his feeble
condition, speedily proved fatal.
"Mr. Habersham was born Sept. 20, 1814,
at Beaufort, S. C. He came of old revo
lutionary stock. His father, Richard W.
Habersham, was a member of Congress
and United States attorney, and his moth
er was the daughter f Col. Barnrird Kl
liott of the continental army. Early in
life he became an Episcopal clergyman,
and was rector of various churches
througout Georgia, South Carolina and
Virginia. He came to Oregon about eigh
teen years ago, and had charge of
churches at Corvallis and McMinnville for
the first two years, afterward coming to
Portland, where ha had since resided.
He was earnest and untiring in the dis
charge of his duties, and his kindly face
and venerable form were familiar to all
in his parish, both old and young, and his
gentle, kindly and unselfish nature made
him universally loved and respected. Two
children survive him—Robert A. Haber
sham, United States surveyor general for
Oregon, and Miss Eliza A. Habersham,
teacher at the Fulton school. His wife
died some nine years since."

Tlic lust regular meeting of (he present
City Council will In* he-M Monday night.
All mutters the board have on haiul will i
likely be disposes! of, so that the clerk's 1
desk may L> cleared preparatory to til* j
Inauguration of the new Council. Tilt ;
principal matter for eo: -i I. ration will I
probably be the petition ol Mr. W. A
Blsbee for a franchise to construct un
overhead telephone system.
S.nce tin* question of overhead wires and
l erection of poles was recently brought
before Council, the advisability of allow
ing more poles in the crowded section of
the city has been pretty generally discuss
ed. Almost universally the opinion is
that iht* erection of poles will be a de
parture from precedents the city recently
established against placing poles where
liiey would crowd the streets, or otherwise
interfile with trafßc. For some time it
seemed to lie understood among the alder
men that applicants for franchises involv
ing the erection of poles and wires, should
put that part of the system in the crowded
section of the city underground, otherwise
a clause would lie inserted requiring them
It) do so. It Is n fact the few who applied
lor franchises recognized this, and pro
posed to put their wires underground with
ott! a specltic requirement by the city.
Mr. J, Randolph Anderson, of counsel
lor .Mr. llisbet, conferred with Mayor M< i
mini yesterday on the petition which ts to
lie again considered. '1 here seems to lu
ll question as to what the policy of the
city really is about poles. Several were
asked yesterday by what ofliclal act the
eby established a policy, but their opin
ions differed. At tin meeting <f Count'd
lhe question as to whether it is tile city’s
policy to prohibit the further erection of
po.* s was also discussed with varying
opinions. Some say the twiicy is estab
lish..] by precedent, others by ordinance.
If it requires an ordinance, the city has
no policy in this regard, but there are . • v
eral precedents, which, it is claimed, hay*
‘*' :! established by concerns which put
down tm* underground system voluntarily.
Hy the term of the petition Mr. llibee
agrees to adopt the underground within
five years from the time he commences op
erations, but says it is impossible for a
new company to do it at the ittarf. He
says the people of Savannah are paying
100 much for telephone service, and as
serts his Intention to eut rales if In *uc
eeeds in gelling into the city. To put
down an underground system ul the start
is out of the question for any new enter
prise of (his kind, he says, dis the expense
is too great. Besides, this system lias
only recently come into use, and where
it is required, it places new concerns ac a
disadvantage, tie says, where their prede
cessors have run along for years with the
overhead system.
The question Council will probably first
consider .n connection .with the petition
for franchise is whether the condition for
an underground would be against the
city's policy in encouraging new enter
pri-. s. If it Is considered an unreasonable
burden to attach this condition to the
franchise, or If it would have the effect
of shutting out till other telephone com
panies desiring to install an exchange in
Savannah, the question may be viewed in
a different light. It is claimed the stronger
the invitation for capital and investment,
the better it Is for the city. Anything
that tends to giro any company a monopo
ly it is urged will be disapproved, so that
the) reasonableness of such condition us
thru proposed, wilEWkely be one of the
points to which Council will direct partic
ular attention.
In discussing the pole question yesterday
nil ex-alderman said he thought the city
should put down conduits, and then make
a reasonable charge for their use. By
this means competing telephone and elec
tric lighting concerns would feci safer in
establishing themselves in ggvonnah, and
would look upon such an arrangement as
a standing invitation to invest. The ques
tion has come to an is sup for Council to
settle in some way, and the aim is to settle
it wisely and equitably.
The Bell people, it is pretty well under
stood, will put up a tight against any com
petition. A special agent is here now cir
culating among the aldermen and other
officers of the company are expected in
o day or two. The backers of the new
company ate calling attention to the policy
of the Bell people in failing- to maintain
its service as an inducement to the city
to grant it lilteral franchises.

negro man, and Jennie M00r... the white
woman, are charged with unlawful co
habitation. All three parties will come
before Judge Norwood in ihe City Court
this morning, and if the charges are
proven, it is safe-to say that the severest
sentence In Ihe |mwi r of the court will be
meted out to each. The breaking up ot

quite a sensation in the village of Thunder
bolt.
