PAOI.A AND FRANCESCA.
An Excellent tlomilogne Interpreta
tion Given by Miss Scllg.
Miss Lillie Selig last night gave a most
artistic monologue interpretation of Ste
phen Phillips’ play. “Paola and Frances
ca." The audience, probably owing to
the weather, was not so good as the read
ing merited, but was a most appreciative
one.
The play is a magnificent setting ih four
acts of the well-known story of Fran
cesca da Rimini. It is replete with those
many dramatic qualities, glowing imag
i rios. and felicities of diction that have
in the later works of the author caused
the critics to place him at the head of
the poet-dramatists of the age.
Miss Selig's readings of each of the
scenes was most finished. She deserves
• 1. lit for introducing to a Savannah audi
os c not only a literary novelty, but also
an intellectual treat.

eil the Treatment of stoma*li
Troubles.
The remedy is not heralded as a won
derful discovery, nor yet a secret patent
medicine, neither is it claimed to cure any
thing except dyspepsia, indigestion and
stomach troubles with which nine out ol
ten suffer.
The remedy is in the form of pleasant
tasting tablets or lozenges, containing
vegetable and fruit essences, pure aseptic
pepsin (government test), golden seal and
diastase. The tablets are sold by drug
gists under the name of Stuart's Dyspep
sia Tablets. Many interesting experiments
to test the digestive power of Stuart’s
Tablets show that one grain of the active
principle contained in them is sufficient
to thoroughly digest 8,000 grains of raw
meat, eggs and other wholesome food.
Stuart’s Tablets do not act upon the
bowels like after dinner pills and cheap
cathartics, which simply irritate and In
flame the intestines without having any
effect whatever in digesting food or cur
ing indigestion.
If the stomach can be rested and assist
ed in the work of digestion it will very
soon recover its normal vigor, as no or
gan is so much abused and overworked
as the stomach.
This is the secret, if there is any secret,
of the remarkable success of Stuart’s Dys
pepsia Tablets, a remedy practically un
known a few years ago and now the most
widely known of any treatment for stom
ach weakness.
This success has been secured entirely
upon Its merits as a digestive pure and
simple, because there can be no stomach
trouble if the food is promptly digested.
Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets act entirely
on the food eaten, digesting it completely,
so that it can be assimilated into blood,
nerve and tissue. They cure dyspepsia,
water brash, sour stomach, gas and bloat
ing after meals, because they furnish the
digestive power which weak stomachs
lack and unless that lack is supplied it is
useless to attempt to cure by the use of
“tonic*,” ‘‘pills’’ and cathartics which
have absolutely no digestive power.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be found
at all drug stores and the regular use of
one or two of them after meals, will dem
onstrate their merit better than any other
, argument.
BE SURE THEY ARE RIGHT.
Judge Speer Advises Deputies Not to
Exceed Their Authority.
Adam and Ben Avlngcr, two negroes
and brothers, were tried in the United
Slates District Court yesterday morning
for the offense of illicit distilling and
found not guilty by the jury. The men
were found and arrested near an illicit
still in Emanuel county, and this fact
constituted the greater part of the evi
dence adduced at the trial.
It transpired in evidence that the dep
uty marshals making the arrest had no
warrant for the arrest of the defendants
and that the men had resisted. In deliver
ing his charge to the jury Judge Speer
took occasion to comment upon the safe
guards with which the law environs the
personal liberty of citizens, and warned
the deputies not to attempt arrests, un
less they were armed with a warrant or
were witnesses to the actual commission
of the crime.
Judge .Speer said it might well happen
that officers of the law, in overstepping
their legal rights in making arrests,
might be attacked and wounded by those
whom they sought to arrest, and there
would be no legal redress. It was im
portant. said the court, for officers to be
certain they were well witfiin their legal
rights before attempting the arrest of a
person accused of crime. “I am explicit
in slating this,” said Judge Speer, “be
cause I want the officers to understand It,
for their own protection, as well as for
the protection of the public in Its time
honored rights.”

The Georgia harbor and coast items

the Morning News yesterday, were in ac
cordance with the estimates submitted by
Capt. C. E. Gillette, engineer officer in
charge of this district, save the appropri
ation for the Brunswick outer bar. Capt.
Gillette recommended that $15,000 be saved
by awaiting the construction of a gov
ernment dredge, but the committee saw
fit to make the appropriation $40,000.
The work, Capt. Gillette said, could be
done by a government dredge at a cost of
$25,000. He advocated this course, rather
than to have the work done by contract,
and said that he was sorry Congress
seems inclined to take a different view of
the matter.

Waycross, Ga, Feb. 7.—Despite the dark
clouds overhead and the occasional show
ers that fell this morning a goodly num
ber of the leading citizens of the old
Colony town Fitzgerald, the hustling lit -
the city of Douglas, and the intermediate
points between here and Fitzgerald came
in on the Air Line special to-day.
This excursion was gotten up by the
official of Waycross and the Chamber
of Commerce in conjunction with the offi
cials of the Waycross Air Line Rail
road.
The new train on the Air Line pulled out
of Fitzgerald with a large crowd of that
city's best people aboard.
At every station along the route new
passengers were taken on until when the
train rolled Into the Plant System depot
there were oyer 200 in the party.
The visitors were escorted from the
train to the opera house, where liotirs
were spent in speech making.
The meeting was presided over by Hon.
W. M. Toomer, Ware county’s represen
tative in the Legislature, who is also pres
ident of the Board of Trade. The first
speaker to be introduced was Prof. E..A.
Pound, principal of Waycross public'
schools, who delivered one of his unusual
eloquent addresses, welcoming the visitors
to the city in behalf of the Mayor and
Council of Waycross. He was followed
by Hon. Leon A. Wilson, ex-senator from
the Fifth Senatorial District, who deliv
ered a splendid address of welcome in be
half of the Chamber of Commerce.
Judge J. L. Sweat, general counsel of
the Waycross Air Line, responded in be
half of that road in a lively speech of
ten minutes. He said that after many
long months of work and toil and strug-

gle the projectors of the Waycross Air
bine had succeeded In putting the road
through to Fitzgerald. That while it was
only a short independent line of 70 miles
now, it was a road of great possibilities,
resting as it did, one end
on the great Plant System of roads at
Waycross and the other on the Seaboard
Air Line at Fitzgerald, and opening up
a magnificent pine forest hitherto un
touched.
Hon. W. W. McDonald, Mayor of Doug
las, responded in behalf of that town
and the intermediate points. He came, he
said, from the biggest town In the big
gest county in the best state of the
Union, and warned Waycross and Fitz
gerald to look well to their laurels." What
we need in our section." said he, "is
more railroads and more people. We want
the people from the poor red hills of
North Georgia and from the frozen re
gions of the North to come down and
help us build up this land flowing with
milk and honey. We must have more
railroads, for our town will soon he too
big to get along with only one road.”
The next speaker was Hon. W. It.
Marston. who ran against Hon. W G.
Brantley for Congress from the Kleventh
District last year on the Republican tick
et He represented the Board of Trade of
Fitzgerald, and pledged the people of
Waycross a royal reception when they
visited the Old Soldier Town. He sail
that "Johnny Rebs" and “Yanks" were
working Side by side in building up the
city of Fitzgerald, and that no trouble
growing out of the little spat of fll to ’65
ever arose to disturb them. Gen. Grant
and Gen. Lee. two of the noblest gener
als the world ever produced, settled their
little differences at Appomattox, and the
people of this section were letting it re
main settled.
The last speaker was Hon. T. T .
who spoke in behalf of the Common
Council of Fitzgerald. In the alwence of
Mayor Smith, who was detained at home
on sfCcount of stekness in his family. He
made some good points. Said he would
picture the cities pf .Waycross and Fitz
gerald us a bride and bridegroom; Wuy
cross with gll her nobility and enterprise
and grandeur. • as the bridegroom and
Fitzgerald as the lovely bride, "adorned

have arrayed in priestly robes to
joint the two in * union
that should last forever. and
Douglas and all the intervening points he
would have stand up as maids of honor
and flower girls, and In conclusion he
would have him say: "Those whom Hon

put asunder."

Ills Vlvlil II ee oil ret lon of the %en-_
rnlalM of Mis* Agile* Heppller.
From The Saturday Evening Pist.
Mlaii Agnes Heppller and Mr. I. Zang
will have met for the second time. Miss
ReppUer knows very well the conditions
under which they first met, but It seems
Mr. ZangWtll does not. And thereby
hangs a story which, told in Miss Rep
plier's delightful way, Is a choice bit of
literary gossip.
The first meeting was at small dinner
party. The second was at a large re
ception given in honqr of Mr. Ztuigwlll
Tho author of .The Children of lift*
Ghetto wail surrqunded by worshipful
circle of women. Miss ReppUer approach
ed and sipme one mentioned her name.
Mr. Zangwill sprang forward and In his
strident voice said how glu t he was to
see her again. He took her by both
hands, shook them warmly, beamed upon
her, and said he was so glad to have
the pleasure of meeting her again: he re
membered so perfectly how 111 she was
the last time he had met her; ehe was
sqitli a sufTerer from neuralgia and the
pain was intense that night. Was she bet
ter now? She replied that she felt very
well Indeed, and that she was most happy
to see him again.
Then the buzz began. "What a genius
he Is!" they said. "Think of his re
numbering thut she had neuralgia when
he last met her! Isn’t he truly wonder
ful?" And oon and on until Miss Hep
pller was fairly besieged with exclama
tions about the lion’s wonderful mem
ory.
"Now, brie Is where I remark
able." say* Miss Heppller: "I never
breathed It aloud to one person.ln that
worshipful crowd that I never, never
had twinge of neuralgia In utl my life,
and that I was buoyantly well the one
night on which I met Mr. Zungwlll."
.V Hookey Die* of Trrmnu.
From the Chicago Chronicle,
That Chldago ever boasted a donkey
who was for several years a regular
patron of ,a saloon has never been record
ed. Such Is a fact, however. Several
years ago a saloon widely known among
the toughs and rounders of the West
Side was located on Canal street, near
the corner of Madison. The saloon own
ial by one Charles Venn, was called "The
Shamrock," and it was notorious as a
loitering place for all the outcasts of the
district. The heaviest drinker of the en
tire list of patrons was a donkey, who
lived and died under the roof of the grog
shop. In fact, he actually drank himself
to death. The saloon was In a large, low
building, la front of the bar was an area
way covered with sawdust, and here the
rounders gathered to keep company with
the strange donkey every night.
The animal was so trained that when
ever he had a thirst he would walk up to
the bar and bray. In ree|s>nse to the re
quest a large schooner of beer waa set on
the bar. which the animal .would drain
to the last drop. It was no curiosity for
the majority who raw the performance,
for they were as accustomed to see the
donkey drink as they were to drink them
selves. The donkey made himself at
home in l)ie saloon and Anally died In a
delirium.
He was given a civilized burial and hi*
friends placed on his grave this placard:
"Here lies Hill the donkey full of beer.
May he flout to heaven on the foam with
in him."
After the donkey died the saloon lost Its
attraction and within a few weeks the
proprietor was forced to close the doors
