Interest ng Services.
The services of the Christian church
at the court house continue every
evening with increasing interest. Dr.
Marshall’s sermons are really great in
every way. Those who fail to hear
him will miss more than they can
imagine. There is no slush in what
he says, such as you general!} hear
from men who seek to please and
gather crowds. He reasons well, ins
tructs and convinces in all he says.
These services will continue over Sun

very creditable, indeed, and with the

Talleyrand’s Intrigues.
At first Talleyrand appears to have
desired a violent death for Napoleon in '
the hope of furthering his own schemes .
during a long imperial regency. At all
events, fie ardently opposed the depar-1
tore of the empress and the king of
Rome from Paris.. Nevertheless it was
he who dispatched Vitrolles, the pas- i
sionate royalist, to Nesselrode with a j
letter in invisible ink which, when de-!
ciphered, turned out to be an ins’eruta-1
ble riddle capable of two interprets- j
tions. Lannes had long before stigma
tized the unfrocked bishop as a mess of
filth in a silk stocking. Murat said he
could take a kick from behind without
showing it in his face. His fellow con
spirators were scarcely less bitter in
their dislike than his avowed enemies.
Yet he pursued the even tenor of his
course, scattering innuendos, distribut
ing showers of anonymous pamphlets,
smuggling English newspapers into the
city—in fact, working every wire of
conspiracy.—“Life of Napoleon,” by
Professor W. M. Sloane, in Century.
The Indian Postoffice.
The postofflee in India not only col
lects and delivers letters, parcels and
pther articles, but acts to a certain ex
. tent as a banker to the general public,
sells quinine and salt, pays military
pensions and collects the revenue accru
ing to the government from land and
/other sources.
But to the fertile brain of one of the
oldest officers in the department is due
the latest development in the work of
the postoffice.
The . Punjab postoffice has come for
ward as an elementary teacher. It not
only collects letters and delivers them,
bnt teaches boys in elementary schools
how to write them and address the cov
ers.—London Answers.
Color and Aroma of Coffee.
There are two things which people
imagine are guides to the goodness of
coffee which are really of no conse
quence whatever. They are the color of
the decoction and the aroma of the coffee
when ground or as it escapes from the
pot in drawing. The color is due almost
entirely to the roasting. This is true
also of tea. The finest coffees and teas
when properly roasted and prepared to
give out their finest flavors will color
the water but little. The real essences
which give the flavor have practically
no color.

MRS. HOYT’S DEATH
Slie Breaibid Her Last at Two O’clock
Ye; terday.
HIS BEEN SICK • MANY MONTHS
In Har Death a Christian Life is Ended and
She Lesves a Devoted Family tu
T« Mourn Her Lose.
Mrs. Florence Stevens Hoyt, the be
loved wife of Dr. William D. Hoyt, died
at 2 o’clock yesterday afternoon.
She had been ill for about twelve
months, and her death was not unex
pected.
Mrs. Hoyt was Miss Florence Stevens,
a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Ste
vens, and was born in Liberty county,
but her mother, after the death of her
father, removed to Athena, where she
was rearied. She was born March 7,
1839, and was educated at Greqpsboro
and at Nashville, Tenn.
She was the. eldest of three children,
Mrs. Dr. Kincaid, her sister ind Mr.
James Hoyt, of New York, surviving,
and her aged mother, who has been liv
ing with the Hoyt family for some
years. March 11, 1858, she was married
to Dr. W. D. Hoyt in this city, where
the family had removed.
Mrs. Hoyt was a woman gifted with
an unusualfdegree of intellectuality, and
the purity and gentleness ofjher Chris
tianxcbaracter were only equalled by the
fortitude with which she bore afflic
tions of 'many years’ standing De
voted to her husband, and children, she
was a consistant member of the Presby
terian church, and her life was sublime
in its stainless purity and sanctity.
She leaves a husband, one of the
most devoted husbands, to whom the
sympathies of the community go out
in his bereavement, and three daugh
ters, Miss Florence, a teacher in Hop
Kins Institute, Baltimore; Miss Mary,
a teacher, at Bryn Mawr, Penn, and
Miss Margaret who has just finished
her education, and a son, William,
about sixteen years of age, whose
whole life has been devoted to his
mother. Another child died several
years ago.
The sad intelligence of her death
was telegraphed to her absent daugh
tirs yesterday, and the funeral ser
vices will be announced today!♦
This weary world has never known
a sweeter spirit, filled with more for
titude and Christian resignation than
that of her whose earthly sufferings
were ended yesterday. The family
have-the deepest' 1 sympathies of many
friends in their sorrow. The soul of
one whose earthly life was an exem
plification of all that was fairest in
human character has returned to the
God who gave it and the sorrowing
friends who knew her in life will drop
tears of regret on her tomb.

Earl y Days of Coffee.
It is recorded iu a “New View of
London," published in 1708, that “one
James Fair, a barber, who kept the
house (which is now the Rainbow) by
the Inner Tnmple gate, one of the oldest
in England, was in the year 1657 pre
sented by the inquest of St. Dunstan’s
for making and selling a sort of liquor
called coffee, to the great nuisauce and
prejudice of the neighborhood. And
who (adds the author) could then have
thought London would ever have 8,000
such nuisances and that coffee would
have been, as now, so much ,di uuk by
the first quality and physicians?”

LET THERE BE LIGHT
Temporary R'coivcr Woodruff is Now
In Charge
THE SYSTEM WILL BE IMPROVED
And Put In Flret Claes Bhap > nt 7>nce go
Sool as the Repairs Are
Comp e <-d.
Mr. Charles E. Woodruff, who has
been appointed temporary receiver of
the Roma Electrec Light company
has assumed charge of the work.
Mr. Woodruff is an experienced elec
trician and the best man in Rome for
the place.
Yesterday a lot of material that has
been lying in the express office and
railroad freight houses was taken out
and will be utilized in putting the
system in complete order.
The company has gone to work with
a will, and if the receivership is sus
tained at the hearing October 10, will
give Rome the most perfect system of
lights that she has ever had.
The lights have been in bad shape
for some time, but all that will be
remedied and the citizens will have
no room to complain of the service.
So soon as the street railway com
pany complete the repairs and turn
on the power, the lights will be per
manently put on again and no effort
nor expense will be spared to make
make the system perfect. ,

An Awful Disappointment.
One Sunday morning a poor man
dressed in his Sunday best, having
trudged all the way from Boston, en
tered the church at Newburyport and
took a seat near the pulpit. Piesently
the service began, and the preacher had
not been speaking long before the vis-'
itor from Boston began to show signs
of excitement. As the sermon proceeded
his body swayed backward and forward,
his eyes glittered strangely, and at
length he fell in a fit on the floor. Two
deacons of the church carried him out
side; laid him down on the church
green, unfastened his collar and dashed
water upon him while he writhed and
rolled on the earth.
At last the man recovered his senses
and was asked what ailed him. “Oh,
such powerful preachingl” said fie. “I
had heard before of men going into fits
under Whitfield’s preaching, but I
never supposed it would double me up
so,"
“But,” said one of the deacons,
“that was not Mr. Whitfield preaching,
but only a nearby minister substituting
for him this morning.”
At this point the Boston man became
mad clear through.
“What!” he said. "Have I walked
50 miles, spoiled my best suit of clothes
and had fits and never heard Mr. Whit
field after all? Well, I’ll be goldarned
if that isn’t the worst sell I ever had!”
