the faithful are reminded that beside the
obli a:ion of fasting imposed by the church,
Ihl- holy season of Lent should be in an es
necial manner a time of earnest prayer, of
sorrow for sin. of seclusion from the world
and its amusements, and of generous alms
giving.
The Paschal time extends from the first
Sunday of Lent till Trinity Sunday, during
whnh time all Catholics who hove attained
the use of reason are hound to prepare them
selves to receive worthily the Holy Commu
nion The holy season of Lent is a proper
time also, for children to go to their first
confession, which t’aev ought co do generally
when about 7 years of age. Parents should
see to this.
The announcement of Lenten services
in the Episcopalian churches was also
made yesterday.
More than passing attention is given at
this season by tish merchants and retail
grocers to the lines of food which natur
ally find heaviest sales during Lent. The
principal dish is the delicious shad, of
which there is an abundant supplyjn the
market. Fine fish are selling from 50
cents to 75 cents each. The finest roe
shad offered weigh about seven pounds.
Spanish mackerel are also one of the
choicest of dinner fish, and there are
large quantities arriving now from Flor
ida.
The oyster market is well svpplied, and
in a few days the demand for Uaufuskie
and Thunderbolt bivalves will Increase,
whileextra shipments of the celebrated
‘•Blue Points” and Norfolk oysters will
be received by the local dealers.
Not the least important among the cus
tomary Lenten foods Is the toothsome
and wholesome pickled mackerel. Be
tween the catch on the American shore
last season and importations front foreign
ports, a very fair supply has been within
reach, but there is not too much for an
Old time full season demand.
The low prices for eggs, cereals and
some lines of animal food have affected
the sale of pickled and salted fish to some
degree, since a large body of consumers
have leen driven by the force of circum
stances to discriminate in favor of eata
bles front which a meal could be made at
the lowest cost. The dull business in this
line for the past few months, leaves a
very fair and unusually good assortment
of mackerel on the market, which is be
ing sold to retailers at remarkably low
prices. The consumers will reap the
benefit of the reduction, aud mackerel
for breakfast will not be so expensive
after all.
Another excellent dish during this sea
son is codfish. It is put up in convenient
packages in the shape of a brick and has
the bones removed. Shredded: codfish is
also impular, and is easily prepared for
the table and is quite economical.
Among other pickled and salted fish
are Hollander herring, smoked herring
and mullet, all of which are fully sup
plied at this season, and are sold at prices
within the means of all who observe the
custom of ‘keeping Lent,” or those who
change their diet in the spring to promote
good health.
TO DISTRICT THE CITY.
The Mayor Will Appoint the Com
mittee To-day.
Mayor McDonough will appoint the
committee to divide the city into election
districts, as provided by the Osborne bill
at the last session of the legislature, 'to
day. At the last meeting of council
a resolution was passed authoriz
lng the mayor to appoint
a committee of five to divide the city into

THE CHINAMEN’S NEW YEAR.
To-Day Will Bea Gala Day for Savan
nah Celestials.
To-day is the Chinese New Year, the
greatest of all Chinese festivals. The
festivities of the Chinamen began
yesterday morning, and will last until
Wednesday. Every Chinaman must
pay his debts in full, in order to begin the
New Year aright. Those ettgaged in
businessomust settle all their accounts,
and require their customers to do the
same.
Preparations for the festival have been
going ou for some time. Every Chinaman
in the city has been laying in a store of
good things, and to-day the latchstrings
of the laundries will hang on the outside.
Visiting is in order to-day, aud the Ce
lestials go from laundry to laundry and
leave siqts of paper bearing their name
and the words "Good Luck” in Chinese.
As they meet on New Year's day they
say’, ‘ Kung-hi! Kuttg-hi!” which means,
”A happy new year.” Prayer papers will
be distributed, and papers bearing a ficti
tious address burned and thrown out
the ivitltiow, so that if the devil is in the
neighborhood he will find them, be misled
by the false address, and go elsewhere to
took for his victims. The graves of the
dead will be visited and prayers said over
them.
A Statement by Dr. Oemler.
Editor Morning News: lam compelled
to address you in order tocorrect some in
accuracies in your report of Saturday’s
transactions of the Truck Farmers’ Asso
ciation.
I had beeu previously informed by our
efficient secretary that the quorum in De
cember was effected by the proxy of a
valued honorary member’of the society.
I distinctly stated on Saturday I mereiy
desired to present my dissent, and that I
did not move an.v reconsideration. No
vote whatever was, therefore, taken on
the merits of the case.
I made no request that my protest be
sent to Col. Lester, nor that it be spread
upon the minutes, as stated. A resolu
tion to that effect was offered by MaJ.
Ryals, without any suggestion from my
self. and adopted. The only other mem
bers who made any remarks whatever
upon the subject were Maj. Ryals and Mr.
Exley, and in so far as I know thev may
have been the only ones present on Satur
day who attended the meeting in Decem
ber.
My knowledge and appreciation of the
non-political character of our association,
was one cause of my protest against a
resolution, which for political effect, had
been laid before the ways and means
committee prior to the perfection of the
Wilson bill. Had I expected, or desired
to make any political effort, I should
have presented my protest before the
report of the bill. A. Oemler.
[The secretary of the Truck Growers’
Association states that Dr. Oemler's pro
test was put on record by his request.]
Mrs. O. T. Shaffer Dead.
Mrs. Anna M. Shaffer, wife of Mr. O.
T. Shaffer, died at the residence of her
husband at West Broad and Henry
streets yesterday morning. She was a
daughter of Mr. J. R. Tebeau and a lady
much beloved. The funeral will take place
from Grace Methodist church at 8:30
o'clock this afternoon.
DEATH IN A BLOW.
A Church Collapses at Gate City and
Crushes Its Inmates.
Birmingham, Ala., Feb. 4.—Further
details of last night’s storm which swept
over this section of North Alabama shows
the damage to have been far greater than
was at first supposed.
At North Birmingham a dozen houses
were blown down. James Smith, rail
road section foreman, was fatally
wounded by the roof of his house falling
itt. His wife and children escaped with
less serious injuries.
At East Lake three depots were blown
down.
The worst damage was at Gate City,
where a Congregational church was
blown down. The Christian Endeavor
Society, with fifty persons in attendance,
was holding a meeting, and not one of
them escaped unhurt.
THE DEAD AND INJURED.
Mrs. R. H. Pritchett was crushed by
falling beams and died at midnight. She
was the wife of the superintendent of
the Alabama roiling mills, and her homo
was at Iron ton.
A young man named Williams died to
day from his injuries.
Mrs. James Niles received fatal inter
nal injuries.
C. S. Drumhiller was mortally wounded.
Charles Olsen will die from his in
juries.
Richard Niles had a leg broken.
Will Bears' skull was fractured.
James Niles’ knee was broken.
Miss Anna Birdsall’s spine was injured.
James Hartshorn received, perhaps,
fatal internal injuries.
Rev. E. K. East was badly hurt and
from thirty to forty others received inju
ries of a minor character.
THE COLLAPSE.
When the hurricane struck the church
the building collapsed, the roof falling in
a solid mass on the congregation. The
strong pillars partially broke the fall,
otherwise every person in the house
would have been crushed. Axes had to
be used in releasing many who were un
der the debris.
Nearly every house in Gate City was
more or less damaged.
An immense amount of timber in the
track of the storm was destroyed. Tbe
damaeo will amount to a large sum.
At East Birmingham a church and
school building were wrecked.
Near Choccolocco a troo fell on Mrs.
McDowell’s house, killing her instantly.
Telegraph wires were blown down and
many trees fell across the railroads.
FIRE STARTED BY A LAMP.
A Brick Block Burned at Glasgow,
Mo., at a Loss of $50,000.
Glasgow, Mo., Feb. 4.—The historic old
town of Glasgow suffered a sso]ooo loss by
fire early this morning. About 4 o'clock
a lamp in the dry goods store of M. B.
Probst exploded, and in two hours' time
the entire brick block of business houses,
with the exception of tho Glasgow hotel
and Silvey Bros’, grocery, was destroyed.
Seattle Wants the Fight.
Seattle, Wash.. Feb. 4.—A special from
Everett. Wash , says; • ‘The president of
the Athletic association, of this city, to
day wired William A. Brady that the
Everett club would give *6O,UUO for the
, Corbett-Jackson tight.”
THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, FEBRUARY 1R94.
POLITICS ON THE RHINE.
Gen. Loe Now Mentioned as the Suc
cessor of Von Caprivi.
(Copyright, 1864. by the United Press.)
Beilin, Feb. 4.—Chancellor Von Ca
privi's parliamentary dinner to-morrow
evening will b.- a grand function, at
tended not only by all the cabinet minis
ters, but also by an unusualy largo num
ber of imperial deputies. Members of
the opposition say that the dinner will
mark tho climax of the chancel
lor's career, as within a month Gen.
Freiher Von Loe, a strong Bismarekiaa,
with an agragrian policy, will replace
him. Without doubt, Gen. Loe
enjoys the friendship of the
emperor, although not concealing his bias
toward the old chancellor, but in desig
nating him as the immediate successor
to the chancellorship, the conservatives
simply show the party's utter lack of
capable men whom they could select to
lead the imperial governtflent. Gen. Von
Loe has political prejudices, but no repu
tation as a statesman. He has the em
peror's esteem, but that isteem concern*
chiefly his abilities as a soldier.
Nothing seems to open the eyes of the
conservatives to the fact that their vio
lent attacks upon Chancellor Von Capri vi
.tend to strengthen his official position.
THE RUSSIAN COMMERCIAL TREATY.
The dinner at the chancellorio to-mor
row will prelude the presentation of the
Russian comfuercial treaty in the reich
stag. The emperor, who feels that his
personal policy has been cen
sured through the aspersions cast
on the chancellor, has intimated
his intention to be present immediately
after the dinner, and it is expected that
he will seize the opportunity to dispel the
conservative delusion that he cares less
for the fate of the treaty than does Chan
cellor Von Caprlvi.
The close friends of the ministers be
lieve that the conservatives, if once thor
oughly convinced of the emperor’s appro
val of the treaty, moderate their opposi
tion. Apart from any results
likely to arise from the
emperor's personal influence, the
government can reckon on obtaining
thirty majority for tho treaty. The cer
tainty that the commercial entente be
tween Russia and Germany will be re
stored-may have much to do with tho ori
gin of the report that Emperor William
and the czar are likely to meet next sum
tner,
THE EMPERORS TO MEET.
It is well known, however, that Count
Sohonuvaloff, the Russian ambassador
here, and Chancellor Von Caprivi, are ea
ger to establish more cordial relations
between St. Petersburg and Berlin and
have been seeking means of strengthen
ing anil extending the entente. The
Bismarckian press says that the empe
ror’s visits to England,although obviously
devoid of political significance,i excited
theill feeling of the Russian court toward
him, and that a friendly meeting of the
two sovereigns on Russian ground would
do much to remove the misunderstand
ing. Such a meeting, Bismarckian jour
nals say, is now reported to be engaging
the attention of both governments
Reports from St. Petersburg indicate
that the czar's recent illness was indi
rectly responsible for the speedy indorse
ment there of the draft of the commercial
convention. At the last moment. Dr.
Witt, the finance minister, opposed
tho concessions which had been
approved by the Russian committee in
Berlin. The ,czar was so intensely
irritated by this turn of affairs, that his
physicians advised the immediate settle
ment of the question for the sake of his
majesty's health. Dr. Witt bowed to
their advice and abandoned his opposi
tion.
THE bismarckian press.
In an interview with the United Press
correspondent yesterday, Dr. Miquel. the
Prussian minister of finance, spdke of the
Russian treaty and Prince Bismark's
visit to Berlin. He said: ‘‘The immed
iate effect of Prince Bismark's visit
is noticeable in the tone of the so
called Bismarckian press, which has often
worked against tho government in the
last four years. This press was really
without relations to Prince Bis
marck, and its adverse criticisms
will now be promptly disavowed. Prince
Bismarck's visit was a great historical
event, and will be of lasting benefit to the
country. I hope that the efforts of the
press to raiso differences between litm
and Cbancellpr von Caprivi will now
ceaße.”
Dy. Miquel said that as far as he knew,
Prince Bismarck, while unfriendly to
the reciprocity policy in general, would
consider it a grave political error to re
ject the commercial treaty with Russia
after having accepted the treaty with
Austria-Hungary.
Dr. Miquel fears that he will not ob
tain sufficient support in the reichstag to
pass his financial reform bill, but thinks
he will get enough to cover the new mili
tary expenditures. With or without him,
he said, the reforms that ho had proposed,
were bound to be adopted seme day.
A CYCLONE IN MISSISSIPPI.
A Depot and a Store House Wrecked
and a Woman Badly Hurt.
Winona, Miss., Peb. 4.—The cyclone
that passed over this county yesterday
was especially severe at McAnnerney. a
small town six miles west of here. The
railroad depot was lifted up bodily and
thrown from its pillars, wrecking
the building. The most serious
damage so far reported was the destruc
tion of the store house of P. W. Guen
ther. It was literally torn to pieces and
scattered in every direction. Mrs. Guen
ther, who was alone in the store at the
time, was seriously injured by the falling
timbers and her recovery is doubtful. Re
ports from the country are coming in
slowly, and indicate heavy property
losses..
TO WEAR RED HATS.
Another Lilt of Prelates to Be Made
Cardinals.
London, Feb. 4.—The Standard’s Rome
correspondent says that the following
prelates will be created cardinals at
the next consistory: Mgr. Tancredi
Fausti, papal auditor; Mgr. Ciasca,
secretary of the congregation of the
propaganda: Mottsignor Ferraud, arch
bishop of Bolgni; Monsignor Jacobini,
archbishop of Ferarra; Archbishop
Satolli, apostolic delegate to the church
in the United States: Eugenio Cluri,
bishop of Viterbo, and Father Teinhuber,
the Australian Jesuit.
Tariff Debates Fatal to the Steno
graphers.
From the Washington Evening Star.
The stenographers who report the pro
ceedings of tbe House are having what is
known as a “roast.”
The increase in the number of members
of the House to Bo4i has materially in
creased the difficulty of reporting, and
during the debate of the tariff bill, under
the live-minute rule, the confusion, tlie
stenographers state, has been greater
.thau during any other debate they have
had to take. The semi-circular space in
front of the speaker's desk is described in
congressional vernacular as the “bull
pen.” When there is groat excitement
the members rush down to the front, aud
the size of tho crowd in the bull pen
indicates the degree of interest. During
this five-minute discussion the ]>en has
btien crowded much of the time, and the
din of interruption and back talk has
been unprecedented. Everything said
is supposed to be taken down,
and the stenographers have had
their ears poured full of sound, The ox-
pert judgment is that there are more
rapid talkers in this House than have
been assembled together within the mem
ory of the men who do the reporting.
Some talk during a set speech over 2( 0
words a minute, and the eagerness to say
as much as possible within the short time
allowed each speaker under the five
minute rule limbers the tongues remark
ably Avery large proportion of the
speakers get off 1,000 words in five min
utes, and several go beyond that.
It has got to be a superstition umong
the stenographers that a tariff bill calls
for the death of a stenographer.
The overstrain of the debite on the
Mills bill killed Edwards. McElhone, the
veteran, died of nervous prostration
towurd the close of the fight over the
McKinley bill, and now White, one of the
best men in the corps, is down with ner
vous prostration as a result of overwork
on this debate.
COLONIAL LIFE IN AMERICA.
Poor Men Now Better Off Than the
Bich Were in Those Days.
From the Baltimore Sun.
In his lecture recently on ‘ Domestic and
Social Life Before the Revolution," Dr.
Eggleston said that ttie present generation
looked upon the old colonial folk as quite
superior to the people of to-day in many
respects. They had the reputation of
being larger, braver, more courtly men,
and purer, more chaste and more beautiful
women. They had many virtues, those
old colonists, but. with them all, the world
has grown better, more refined, more full
of genuiue courtesy than in their day.
The men are as brave and strong, tlie
women as ehasto and beautiful. History
records, said the lecturer, the great deeds
of the great men of the colonies and the
revolution, but not the ordinary social life
of the period. That is only to be learned
from many sources never collected to
gether.
“Man is a historical brute,” said Mr.
Eggleston, "and must follow his ances
tors.” The colonists, he said, invented
little, their utensils, furniture, houses,
cooking, etc., were iinitatious o* adapta
tions of those of tho English or the In
dian. Necessity is not tlie mother of in
vention. The man impelled by necessity
has no time to invent, therefore he imi
tates. The houses of the early colonists
were mostly of bark, in imitation of those
of the Indian. At one time, of tho thirty
houses in New York, twenty-nine were of
bark. Surely, if anything was American,
the log cabin was—but no, Tacitus
describee the Germans as living tit log
cabins.
"New England was progressive, and
yet its people gathered their wood for
fuel during the winter before the snow
fell. whereas, on sleds they could have
done it with far more ease, and it was not
until about tho year 1(190 that sleds began
to bo used in New England. The old
fashioned Maryland-Vit-giuia house, with
a parlor on one side, dining room on the
other und the wide hall runuing through
the house from end to end between them,
many of them still standing, was but an
imitation of the old double log house—
two pens and a passage’—of the earlier
colonists. The furniture of the older col
onists of the richer class came mostly
from England, and now there are enough
old cradles in New England that came
over in tho Mayflower to fill many such
ships. But the furniture of the poorer
classes was hewed out of wood, made into
rude benches, stools, tables, etc. Carpets
being extremely rare in those days, every
thrifty housewife had her parlor floor
nicely sanded, in which figures were
drawn for decoration.
“The very rich colonists ate from gold
and silver plate, the middle class from
pewter, the loweF•Hawse* fr6m wooden
trenchers,“and frequently the food was
brought in on nothing but flat wooden
blocks Not until the revolution was
porcelain used to any extent. Forks were
not used at all in America until after the
first half of the seventeenth century.
Coffee and tea were not used in America
among the earlier colonists. Milk was
not to be found in winter, because no care
was taken of the cattle, and the women
and children drank cider, birch and root
beer and tbe like. Everything of corn
came from the Indians—the planting in
hills, the putting of a tish in each hill for
a fertilizer, the cooking of it. The words
succotash, pone and hominy are all Indian
words. The ‘hoe-cake’ was baked by the
Indians on hot rocks, by the colonists on
a hot hoe—hence its name. Everything
was highly flavored.”
Nitrate of Soda for Celery.
Celery is tho principal crop in my gar
den Soil is black and heavy, but not
mucky. During tho last four or five
years, not much fertilizer has been used
on it except wood ashes. Would nn ap
plication of nitrate of soda next year lie
likely to give good results? If so, when
should I apply it, and how much per
square rod? In watering plants in seo.i
oed, w hat quantity should be used to the
gallon of water? How large cqn White
Plume be made togrow?
Reply by T. Greiner—l think nitrate
of soda, under these -circumstances, holds
out every promise of good results. I
would make only one application, sa.v of
about Bq pounds per rod, or 225 pounds per
acre, a few days or a week after the plants
are set, scattering the nitrate evenly in a
wide band along the rows For plants in
tho seed-bed, however, 1 consider one or
more applications even of much greater
importance. A few days after tho seed
has been sown, scatter nitrate at tne rate
of two or three pounds to the square
rod, all over the seed bed, in tho same
way as one would sow grain. There is no
objection, however, to making the appli
cation in water. You may put a heaping
teaspoon or a lo vel tablespoonfull to the
gallou of water, according to the amount
and frequency of application of water.
White Plumo does not grow so large us
some of our tall sorts, but nearly as large
as any of our half dwarfs, Under good
culture, it grows fully large enough, at
any rata. We have it often from Is to 25
inches high.
In the Russian army there is one particular
regiment of Infantry of the guards, formed
by Emperor Paul, the men of which are re
cruited not so much with regard to their
bight or the color of their hair and complex
ion as to the shape of their noses. Emperor
Paul had a typical Kuimuk nose of the most
excruciatingly uptllted pattern, and since
then, out of compliment to him all of-the
officers and men of this particular regiment
have noses of the same shape, the sight
which they present on parade being some
what startling.

cover the strength, the energy. or the ambi
tion after one has had a run of the grip, and
we frequently find neuralsria. rheumatism,
and even worse things followimr it.
“Now, what should any sensible man or
w\>man do under those circumstances? The
answer seems hard, but is really easy. Sim
ply help Nature to *?et over the trouble—
stimulate the body and faculties just a little.
This is what every ood physician in the land
advocates in order to drive *rip out of the
system. It should be remembered, however,
that the stimulant must be pure, and that
nothing for this purj ose is equal to irood
whiskey. It i unfortunate, however, that
there is so little pure medicinal whiskey to
he found, and. In fact, it om be truly said
that there is but one strictly medicinal
whiskey upon the market, und that is Duffy s
Pure Malt. It is not like ordinary whiskey,
however much druggists and grocers may say
so. it has in fact, properties possessed by
no other, and is beyond question n stimulant
wdiicta can safely and effectually be taken to
prevent tho grip or drive away its most dis
astrous after effects.”
