Grapd Mass—The Altar* Twined with
Flower*—Festivals of the Sunday

Busy bands were at work in the j
churches yesterday twining bright
wrestbs of Easter flowers about the

nthems which will £#eat forth in joyoqs
melody upon this resurrection morn.
The sombre mourning and solemn
services of Passion Week and the peni
tential time will to-day give place to the
joyous festival season. The heavy rain

morn, but not daunted by the elements
1 the work of decoration went on, and

simple ritual decorations will also be

the Easter festival with extra services,
the music will be made a special feature
to-day, and will be of a character appro- 1
priate to the season.
Fashion Note*.
Riding habits are ungracefully short.
The Henri 11. is the hat of the month.
Mother Hubbard nightgowns are all the
rage.
1 Embroidered tussores and pongees will
be much worn.
t rim- velvet brocade is a costly fabric,
priced six a yard.
Parasols covered completely with flax
fringes are queer novelties.
The eight-pointed star parasol bids fair
to be a favorite ol fashion.
The latest fancy in chamber robes is
the Mother Hubbard back and Pompadour
front.
The Moliere front, extending down to
the bottom of the raglan, is a feature in
these wraps.
A bias fold of mull or line French law n
is frequently worn on the neck instead of
the stiff linen collar.
.Soft French nainsook, plain or em
broidered, is the favorite material for
white summer dresses.
I’arasols are covered with squares of
silk, and made highly ornate with em
broidery, iace, and ribbon.
New siik stockings come in ribbed,
vertical striped, and checked effects, in
colors that match the new goods,
Easter cards come in designs arid
colors show ing the influence of the latest
fancies of fashion in dress fabrics.
One of the richest stuffs for wraps and
parts of costumes is silk grenadine bro
caded with j'riai- (uncut ) velvet figures
and flowers.
Harlequin stockings have one-half the
lee nnd loot in one bright ui dark color,
the other half in a paler shade of the same i
or a contrasting tint.
The mushroom, top and stem, seems to
have afforded some of the art ideas of the
inventors of new figures brocaded in vel
vet on taffeta glace silks.
Gray in all shades prevails in all kinds
of dry goods, from dress fabrics to stock
ings, but gray is generally lirightened
with vivid colors in figures' stripes and
checks.
The embroideries on new tussores and
pongees are in bright colored silks, in
chain and hack stitch, but those embroi
dered in self colors are in much demand
by conservative ladies.
Sienor Ilosro's Entertainments.
Signor Rosco, whose illusionist enter
tainments at the Theatre are attracting
so much attention, is one of the cleverest
magicians on the stage. His tricks are
varied and pleasing, and are performed
with wonderful skill. One of the most
attractive features of his entertainments
Is the gift distribution. The Signor will
remain in Savannah on Monday and
Tuesday nights, closing his engagement
on Tuesday. The principal gift adver
tised for to-morrow night is $lOO in gold.
I>eatli of William Solte.
The friends of William Suite will be
pained to learn of his death which oc
curred at the family residence, No. 117
Congress street, at 12:30 o’clock this
morning, of dropsy of the heart. Mr.
Solte was an old citizen and was largely
identified with the real estate interests of
Savannah. He leaves a wife and family.
The funeral will take place to-morrow.

MOVING RIGHT ALONG.
The Final Preparations for Opening the
Guard*' Fair on Tuesday Night.
Catholic Library Hall was a busy scene
yesterday and last night, and all was
bustle and activity in the final prepara
tions for the opening of the Guards' fair.
A Morning New- reporter crowded
past the piles of evergreens anil over
the lutabtr and furniture which
obstructed the entrances to the
building last night and stepped into
the spacious hall, which resounded with j
the strokes of the carpenter's hammer
and echoed the voices of the decorators
perched upon scaffolding and ladders
twining and draping the srracelul arches
of the booths with vari-eolored
banners, and covering the rough wood
work with designs of’letters and figures
and emblems "until the hall is tilled
with all the colors of the rainbow,
wrought upon its walls and over the
arches of the oriental booths anil houses
which have been built in every corner
and on all sides. Passing through the
main hall with its rustic arbors aud
houses underneath the l road arch
which spans the eastern end.
; the doors open iuto a series of
rooms where the mysteries
of the cuisine will tempt the appetite of
the hungry. Out of these the large pavil
lion opens, in the centre of which is the
fountain playing in a rustic arbor and
through the brilliant rays of the electric
light. The work of putting on the final
touches will be done to-morrow, when the
booths will be occupied and everything
will be in readiness for the formal open
ing on Tuesday night. The contributions
to the feirfun’d now aggregate $7,409 65.
The Chairman of the Subscription Com

“Die Kugelrltter.’’
Those who have seen the curious name
“Ivugelritter” in the Morxinc; News
have doubtless wondered at its meaning.
It is a German word, and translated,
means “The Tenpin Players,’’ and forms
the name of an association of young gen
tlemen who have organized for the pur
pose of perfecting themselves in the
healthful and exhilarating exercise of ten
pinjdaying. The culb numbers am on"
its members some of the most skillful
players in the city, among whom nr<
Messrs. < has. Kolshorn, Chas. H. Goelke,
C. Mahn, A. J. Diercks, S. S. Friedlein,
11. W. Rail, Geo.. Meyer, Herman Renken,
F. Herman Meyer and a number of others.
Among these, one or two have made the
highest possible score—3oo while the
others have come very close to it. The
game, while affording pleasure and
recreation, lias nothing about it to
displease. The “Die Kugelrltter” will
open the picnic season by a grand picnic
and prize tournament at Selluetzen Park
on Tuesday, the 22d. at which four hand
some and valuable prizes will be offered
to the public in a contest, from which
members of the club will be debarred,
only the visitors holding tickets being
allowed to participate. The prizes em
brace two elegant gold-headed canes, a
set of solid gold sleeve-buttons and a pair
of handsome opera glasses, and are on
exhibition In the show windows of F. H,
Meyer's store, No. 170 Broughton street.
The Operetta “Genevieve.”.
The operetta ot Genevieve will be pre
sented at Masonic Temple to-morrew
night for the benefit of the Sunday School
Aid Society of the Independent Presbv
terlan Church. The principal character's,
“Genevieve’’ aud “ltoxanna,” will he as
sumed by Misses Bracewall and Silva of
the Independent Church choir. The chorus
of fifty girls will be rendered In costume,
and the entertainment will doubtless lie

The Journal des liosen publishes a com
munication in which the writer states
that the mildew that injures the foliage of
roses can be destroyed by the use of com
mon salt. The following is a translation
of his account of his own trials with this
remedy: “I took at first six and a half
pounds ( three kilos) of salt dissolved in
twenty-six gallons (100 lities) of water. I
syringed my rosebushes with this salt
water, and the next day 1 noticed a re
markable improvement. The next day I
took three pounds and a quarter (one and
a hall kilos) of salt to twenty-six gallons
(100 litres) of water, and recommenced
the operation of the evening before tbe
last, and, as a result, mv plants were en
tirely rid of that detestai/le disease which
is the despair of rose growers. I contin
ued my experiment, and even lor a month
after syringed with salt water. Whether
this was necessary or not I do not know.
I have never since seen any mildew, and
my plants were rid ot it "at a slight ex
pense.”
Olive Sauce for Game, etc.—Peel off
the meat from four ounces of large olives;
put it into boiling water for a few minutes,
then drain and soak in cold water to ex
tract the salt taste. Then drain a£ain and
simmer gentlv in a stewpan with three
gills of good brown gravy. The sauce
should he served hot, with a diph of cut
lemons for those who prefer the addition
of the juice. —The Caterer.

like it because the work is sharper and
more interesting.”
Recently, in Brooklyn. Mr. Alexander
It. Black read a paper on “The Pains and
Pleasures of Bicycling.” The speaker
said that sport was always regarded with
great distrust in America. In England
it was not considered beneath the dignity
of any man—or woman—to engage in ro
bust pastimes; while in America anything
that was distinctively sport is decried as
frivolous. The effect of these differing
views were notorious. It was only, the
American college boys 1 hat got any pro
per exercise; and having attained’ to a
decorous maturity the American muoi
swing his dumb bells in secret. Base bar!
was left to professional clubs; tennis or
practice with the arrow were relegated to
“society.” It wns possible that the bi
cycle might still want recognition in this
country were it not that some practical
utility had been associated with it by the
postman, newsmeu and physicians of
England and France. Rev. Mr. Pentecost
had said: “If I could not get another bi
cycle I would not give mine for its weight
in solid gold.” With this enthusiastic
indorsement from the clergy following
upon so many enthusiastic indorsements
from medical men, Mr. Black said there
seemed to be no obstacle in the way of a ;
bright future for the bicycle.

MISS XKI/LIK’S PLAY-HOUSE.
AVliere tlie President’* Daughter Amuse*
u..-,.ir .. iti. n. Dnit,
In the rear of the AVhite House, says a
Washington special, is a diminutive
house covered with myrtle and ivy. It is
very small. The house has attracted con
siderable notice. It resembles a fairy
arbor. Mr. Blaine in strolling through
the White House grounds a few days ago
stopiied before this house and examined
it with some curiosity. Had he made so
bold as to draw aside a little curtain be
would have teen rewarded with a pretty
sight. This little house is the headquar
ters of Miss Nellie Arthur and her dolls.
Here she occupies herself playing with
her dolls and receiving her young friends.
Informal tea pnrties are Miss Nellie’s
favorite entertainment. She acts the part
of hostess with all the dignity of a much
older person. Questions of social prece
dence, however, do not bother the chil
dren. “First ladies” are created froih
day to day at Miss Nellie's pleasure. They
are constantly changing. The young people
seem to enjoy it. They never have had
auy serious disputes over social prece
dents. Miss Nellie always acts as arbi
trator. There is no appeal from her
decisions. The house is filled with chil
dren’s trinklets and toys. A little table
stands in the corner. ’ Around this the
children gather and talk doll gossip over
very w eak tea. The President occasionally
visits the place. It gives him great
pleasure to see the children at plav. He
can only act as a spectator, however, as
he is too large to admit of his getting
inside the cottage. The selection tor the
house is well chosen. It commands a
good view of the Potomac, Arlington
heights, and the Washington monument.
The house can easily be seen from the
President’s private office. Mr. Arthur
stops frequently in his arduous labors and
gains new life and encouragement from a
sight of his little daughter and her play
mates enjoying themselves below.

I The late Richard Dryland Fox was born
‘ in Ramsgate, England, and died suddenly on
the steamship Western Texas, at Port Royal,
! 8. C„ October 23, 1563.
His boyhood and early youth were passed in
: his native town, where he acquired those
j habits of industry, self-reliance and close ap
j plication to busmees, which distinguished
1 him during his long and busy career.
! Coming to Savannah before he had attained
i hi* majority, he engaged in business for a
i time, and then removed to St. Mary’s, Ga.,
with which place he has been identified for
nearly forty years. Mr. Fox was a man of
marked characteristics, quick in thought and
action, hasty in speech; his jadgment seldom
failed him, and to hiskeen insight into hnman
nature is due much of his success in life.
Possessing unusual physical and mental
vigor, tireless energy and an indomitable
will, he could have teen, with different earlv
training, a leader among men. The worlii
knew only the outer and rougher side of his
nature; in his home, surrounded by those best
loved, the finer qualities of his heart and
mind were most apparent. Always pleasant
and genial, a devoted husband, "a fond and
indulgent father, his happiness was found in
his home circle. He could be charitable with
out display, and many kind acts, known to
but few, have teen placed to his credit in the
record above. The last year of his life was
elondedby anxieties; and business calamities
following close upon domestic affliction,
pressed heavily upon him. But the courage
ous spirit rose to the emergency, and at a
time of life when most men desire onlv rest
and ease, he prepared to start anew in’busi
ness, willing to devote the te-t powers of
mind and body to the support of the young
family growing up around him.
For the perfecting of some business arrange
ments, he spent a few weeks in New York,
and returning took passage on the fatal
steamer in which he met his death.
Through the carelessness of those who had
many lives in their keeping, one false step in
the gathering darkness ended a life valuable
to many, robbed a household of its head and
support, helpless children of their protector
and only parent. On the verv day of his ex
pected return, while childish hearts throbbed
high with expectation, and childish eyes were
strained to catch the first glimpse of their
father's well-known form, the sad news came
that the father had already passed to “that
bourne from whence no traveler returns;”
that his feet would never again cross the
threshhold of his home, nor his voice sonud in
their expectant ears. Over the anguish of
that stricken family memory dares not liger.
The months which have passed may in some
degree have dulled the keen edge <>"f sorrow,
but the bitter sense of loss only time can
obliterate, and there remains for th# wounded
hearts only the hope of a blessed reunion
hereafter.
And so, at this glorious Easter tide, when
in every heart is ringing the glad refrain, >
“Christ is risen,” we turn from the grave,
from the anguish and pain of death, to the
precious hope and promise of The Resurrec
tion.
“For as in Adam all die, even so in
Christ shall all be made alive.”
