usual humorous style.
Hen. Sorrel was warmly applauded when
he arose. The lessons learned by the two
armies, North and South, from ‘6l to ’63,

TRINITY’S WEEK OF MEETINGS.
Res'. C. I), Adams* I’ointetl Sermon on
Sin and Its Results.
Rev. C. D. Adams preached at Trinity-
Church last night to a large and attentive
congregation. After reading the Ist, 25th,
26th and 27th verses of the eighth chapter
Exodus, he announced as a text the 2Sth
verse, ‘‘And Pharoah said, I will let you
go, that ye may sacrifice to the Lord your
God in the wilderness; only ye shall not
go very far away.”
"Of course,” he said, ‘‘you recognize in
this a part of that memorable history of
the Israelites and their fearful experiences
in the land of EgyTt. They tarried there
hundreds of years prior to this time, and
as the years grew on, they became ser
vants to this people, and, at the time of
this writing, when the Lord saw fit to
interfere, they were used as brickmakers
in the slinuiaiit, and in the most degrading
places. Wfien their tasks had grown too
heavy, as they supposed, and complaint
was made, they were not only forced to
make the brick, but had the extra charge
of gathering straw to add to the slime,
and the mud with which the brick were
made. Then the command came from God
to Moses to say to Pharaoh, ‘Let my peo
ple go.’ Coupled with this was God’s com
mand io Moses, ‘You must go. and you
must go a three-day’s journey.’ ”
This, said Rev. Mr. Adams, clearly illus
trates the average man. Pharaoh repre
sents satan, and the work
at which he had the Israelites
represents the class of work
the average sinner is doing. And there
is the command and the promise of the
gospel as held out to us.”
The preacher asked prayerful attention
to his talk. He said the devil has no clean
work for a decent white man to do, and he
never saw many decent white men at it.
That is plain talk, he said, but it is as true
as the gospel. Sin never made a great
man It does not make a man think clear
ly. It gives no inspiration to great
thought. Some of the most talented men
have lived under the blight of sin. but
never came into notoriety or prominence,
because of the paralyzing touch of sin up
on their hearts and minds. You have said
of some br ghc boy, ‘‘He will make a star
man some day.” But on account of the
influence of sin his life has been a miser
able failure.”.
Mr. Adams made several touching ap
peals for true manhood and womanhood.
Some of his stories were pathetic. His
picture of the cruel mother and grand
mother of a little boy whom they thought
in their way at home; and whom they
drowned, was touching in the extreme.
Parents are leading their boys to the
brink of hell by sinful influences, said the
preacher.
At the close of the sermon many accept
ed the aavico to let their lives wield a
Christian influence.
After the 4 o’clock service to-day the
women workers of the churches are re
quested to remain for the purpose of or
ganizing for Christian effort.
At the close of to-night’s service the
Epworth leaguers and other Christian
j’oung people will meet to organize lor
work during the meetings. Those who
will take part in the singing are asked
to be at the church promptly at 8 o’clock.
Mr. C. P. Miller is the director of the
song service.
CLERKS ENJOYED A HOLIDAY.
Offices of Hnilronils Wore ft Deserted
Look.
Most of the office employes of the rail
roads got holiday yesterday. Some of
them did not get off at all, as the services
of a certain class of employes are nec
essary for the operation of the trains. The
clerks in some of the departments got the
entire day. Others were not so fortunate,
and had to be content with only a half
holiday.
During the afternoon the offices all had
a deserted appearance, in most cases only
the officials being visible. These gentle
men find, in most cases, that so much of
their time has to be spent away from the
city, that they must put in ail available
time when here in getting up with their
correspondence and the work cleared away
from their desks. The up-town ticket of
fices were closed for the half day. This is
a practice they have adopted for holidays.
Mr. John Jacob Astor and a party of
seven went through yesterday morning on
the north-bound train over the Florida
Central and Peninsular Railroad. A priv
ate Pullman car was used by the party,
which has been on a trip through Florida.
Another cow reigns as mistress, with her
sovereignty undisputed by the owner, in
the barn of the vice president of the Cen
tral Railroad. The animal got'here a day
or two ago, addressed to Mr. Egan. He
was away on the road when she arrived,
but found her safely housed when he re
turned.
Mr. Egan wanted to see his new acquisi
tion, but mindful of a recent disagreeable
experience with a black cow, he first had
to receive every assurance that she was
safely immured. He then went out and
took a peep through the bars. The animal
seemed mild enough, but Mr. Egan was
glad he had token all precautions when he
saw that this cow. too, was black. He
now regards a black cow as many do the
objectionable color when found in a cat.
This cow came from Americus. Mr.
Uriah B. Harrold. one of the directors of
the road, decided that she would be gentle
enough for Mr. Egan to manage, so he
sent her over to him. The director sent
her along with a guarantee of her posses
sion of all the virtues of tractabiiity, gen
tleness and good temper that remove all
deserving bovines from the low stratum
of cow society, to which the animal ramp
ant that hooked Mr. Egan belonged.
An "Old Hoss” sale of unclaimed freight
will take place at the Central Railroad’s
freight warehouse this morning.
DEAD BABY I NDER A BED.
Barbarous Case in a McDonough
Street House.
Policeman Collins was sent to No. 547
McDonough street, east, yesterday, for the
purpose of subduing a man who was re
ported raising a disturbance. When the
officer arrived he found an entirely differ
ent complaint.
Fannie Alston (colored) lives there, and
informed the officer upon inquiry that
there was no disturbance, but that there
was a woman tenant in trouble In an upper
room. The officer was directed to the
room and found a negress named Nella
Bocknight there. He was at once given
to understand there was a dead child in
the room and the occupants wanted it re
moved. Further inquiries were made by
the officer who found the child was born
some time Sunday and had since that time
been lying under the bed wrapped in a
blanket. It appeared the two women are
the only occupants of the house and they
claim they had no opportunity for not
earlier reporting the matter.
Coroner Goette was notified by the po
lice and went to the house at once to Inves
tigate the facts. They were the same as
found by Policeman Collins. Being satis
fied 'there was no criminality connected
with the matter, on being Informed that
City Physician Lloyd attended the wo
THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 23. 1898.
tMEN CALL WOMAN A MYSTERY.
Bo She is to Them —Not so to a Womac,
A Woman’s Knowledge Saves Mrs. Ebbert From an Operation.
__ \ A woman understands women as a man never can hops
to. For this reason Mrs. Lydia K. Pinkhatn. of Lynn,
'ru*\ -j l) Mass., now known all over the English-speaking world,
4s®B i i , TO' LT* j -?> 6ft to work to help her sex.
[ fral m£%LY After long and patient investigation, Mrs. Pinkhatn
j j \\i Jp&ni confirmed her own conclusions, namely; that sevt-n
--mS J I ~ e '(fhths of the sufferings of women are due to dis*
M / I \ AjjSjfc orders of the uterine System. Reasoning on this line,
111 \\W9 she saw that the only preventive of early breaking
/ V 1\ \ ™ down, was p specific medicine which would act
I / | 11 ' alone on the female organism.
This was why she prepared her, excellent Vegetable Compound, which
has been such a boon to thousands and thousands of women. If you have
headaches chiefly at the topof the head, and are troubled by painful menstrua
tion, dizziness, sleeplessness, backache, and that bearing-down feeling, Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound will tone up your whole system. Mus. Uuas,
D. Ebbert, 330 Wood St., Reading, Pa., testifies to the
great power of the Compound. ■ £
“Mrs. Pinkham—l can say that your medicine has cured jLf* ‘
me of the pains and troubles which I had. My case was
a very had one, and puzzled the doctor. My womb had u
fallen and I had terrible pains in my hack andhips.
I could hardly walk. My husband went to our fum
ily doctor, and he prescribed medicine for me, l>nt tfcgwsy 1 h ' \
I found no relief, and grew worse instead of better, if ' '‘
The doctor examined me and wanted to perform an ' Kaj*
operation, hut my husband would not consent. v
the advertisement in the paper, I got a bottle of Lydia •’?
£. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and before I had
taken half of the second bottle, I felt like anew wo
man. In all I have taken four bottles of your medicine, and can say that lam
entirely cured. I hope that every woman suffering as I did, will follow my ad*
vice and take your medicine at once.”
man. the Coroner directed that the child
be buried at once and held no inquest.
The case seemed more barbarous to the
police than any that has come to their no
tice for some time.
AT TIIE THEATER.
>lr. James Young's “David Gnrrlcli”
and Hamlet.
Mr. James Young gave two perform
ances yesterday. At the matinee he gave
“David Garrick” and at night “Hamlet."
One thing that can be said of Mr.
Young's “Hamlet” is that it is his own
interpretation. He does not follow' the
beaten track of other tragedians, though
he follows the play closely.
Mr. Young's "Hamlet” cannot be said to
be his best play. In reposeful parts he
was studied, and very good, but in parls
that required force his intonation was un
natural.
To-night “Shore Acres" will be seen in
Savannah for the first time, and in It
the author-actor, James A. Hearne. There
are few better known actors and better
known plays than “Shore Acres" and
Mr. Hearne. Mr. Hearne is one of the
veterans of the stage. Years ago he was
a member of the famous stock company
which played here and in Charleston
when Joseph Jefferson, John T. Ray
mond and John Ellsler were interested
in the old Savannah theater. There is no
need to say anything about Mr. Hearne
and his play. Both are familiar to thea
ter-goers. Mr. Hearne carries a com
pany of twenty-nine players, all of them
of the company which has just closed an
engagement in Chicago. In spite of the
fact that it is Ash Wednesday and Lent
the indications are that the theater w'ill
be crowded.
"Courted Into Coart,” Rich & Harris’
ebullient bundle of cachination.with Marie
Dressier and John C. Rice, is the attrac
tion which will occupy the stage of the
theater to-morrow night.
“Courted Into Court” has been meeting
with much success wherever it has been
presented and its engagement here will
probably witness an continuation of its
prosperity. Besides Marie Dressier and
John C. Rice,, the company includes John
G. Sparks, Jacques Kruger, James F. Cal
lahan. May Dtiryea, Sally Cohen, Oscar L.
Figman, Clare Palma, Agnes Milton, Da
mon Lyon, Blanche R. Vernoa, John Frees,
Harry Ertheiler, Carrie Frapcis, and
Marion lirighton.
Friday Innes’ band will be heard at two
concerts, a matinee and night concert.
Many people regard Innes’ band as the
best in America. Innes is an originating
genius. He introduced the trombone as a
solo instrument twenty years ago and
for ten years he has been constantly
widening the field of band music. His or
ganization satisfies artistic tastes with
presentations of popular and new over
tures and such orchestral numbers as
Weber’s “Invitation to the Dance.” ’Mr.
Innes own rearrangements for his bund,
which are always given through his power
of invention with orchestral effect. Visi
tors to the Atlanta Exposition and the
Tennessee Centennial will remember
Innes and his band very pleasantly.
A feature of his programmes are his ar
rangements of Scotch, Irish and Southern
melodies. His own compositions are very
popular, particularly his day dream,
"Cupid’s Story,” and his late march "Love
Is King," which is making a sensation.
For his performances in this city Mr.
Innes has something more than his band
to offer the public. His soloists alone
would constitute a first class concert
company.
Chief among the special ones are Mme.
Rosa Linde, from grand opera, and lately
of the Nordics-Linde Concert Company-
Miss Bertha Webb, a petite little girl’
who has been concert-giving for five years
and hits Won a flattering patronage for
herself in almost every city of the coun
try. \
Dr. Edward N. Calisch, a distinguished
and eloquent young rabbi of Richmond,
Yu., will lecture for the Savannah Lyceum
Thursday evening at the Guard’s armory.
He comes with a great reputation as an
orator, and is classed by those who have
heard him, with Wendllng. The subject of
his lecture is “The Moral of Dr. Jekyll
and Mr. Hyde,” a lecture which has been
received with marked success wherever it
has been heard. Dr. Calisch is said to be
a brilliant man and a fascinating orator,
uniting with a well trained and scholarly
mind, a charming presentation of rich and
instructive thought.
There will doubtless be a large audience
to greet Dr. Calisch on this occasion.
Seats for the lecture may be reserved at
Solomons & Co’s., on Bull street.

Washington, Feb. 22.—A* soon as the
reading of the historic farewell address
of Washington was concluded by Mr.
Lodge of Massachusetts to-day in the
Senate, Mr. Hawley of Connecticut, chair
man of the military affairs committee
bill, called up the bill providing for two
additional regiments of artillery for ser
vice in manning the heavy coast defense
batteries which Congress has provided
during the past two years.
Mr. Bate of Tennessee objected to the
bill, because it tended to incroaso the
army, to which he said he was unaltera
bly opposed. He thought there was al
ready enough troops under enlistments to'
man all the guns now being provided for
ihe government. He argued that it would
be bettor to assign infantry regiments to
the manning of these guns than to put
them in charge of raw recruits.
In reply Mr. Hawley pointed out that
the strength of the army was really de
creasing in proportion to the inhabitants
of the country. In addition, he said. Con
gress had made large appropriations in
recent years for great guns for forts and
coast defense stations. Of these guns 139
were guns of large caliber and delicate
mechanism. To these must he added 232
rifled steel mortars already piaeedj or
soon to be piaeed in, the, coast defense
stations.
In order that these gfdns may he prop
erly handled a body qf,trained artillerists
is necessary. Kach of these great war en
gines requires to handle It as much skill
as it requires to run a locomotive or an
ordinary river steamer. The war depart
ment estimates that the 1,600 men which
this bill calls for will be necessary prop
erly to man the guns.
Mr. Cockrell of Missouri said he was
opposed to an increase ih the Ihfahtry or
cavalry arms of the sefviee, but in this
case the country was confronted by n se
rious condition. He regarded it as neces
sary that the guns provided fov the gov
ernment should be property cured for, and
for that reason he had consented a a
member of the committee to "have the'bifi
favorably reported.
The bill was then passed by a vote of
32 to 4. The negative voles were east by
Messrs. Tiatb of Tennessee, Clay of Geor
gia, Chilton of Texas and Vest of Mis
souri.
Mr. Morgan of Alabama secured the
adoption of the followlhg resolution:
“That the committee on naval affairs Is
instructed to inquire and report whether
a man-of-war equal at least to any war
ship in the world, to biff named the
'George Washington,’ Can be built, armed
and commissioned wtthin a period of
twelve months by this' use 'Of the, facili
ties of the ship yards, machine shpts,
mines and forests of the United Stans
wherever the same are found, and that
the committee has leave to report at any
time by hill or otherwise."
The resolution was adopted without de
bn !e.
At 1:30 o’clock the Senate went into exe
cutive session and at 4 o'clock adjourned.
TAX ASSESSMENT IN TENNESSEE.
I niler Valuation in Some Counties
Can’t He Cseil as a Precedent.
Nashville, Tenn,, Feb.' 22.—Chancellor
Cook to-day decided upon demurrer the
case of Braid vs. Hart; trustee, and tax
collector of Davidson county, Involving
the constitutional of unequal as
sessments of property for taxation, which
is one of the main points relied upon by
the railroads against the state relative lo
the assessment of their propertied.
The chancellor dismissed the bill, decid
ing that the failure of tax assessors In
other counties lo assess property at Its
proper valuation did not make the assess
ment in this county, which was admitted
to bo in accordance with the laty, uncon
stitutional and unequal, anil the complain
ant could not recover a portion of taxes
paid and reduce his assessment to valua
tions obtained In other counties, Tho enso
goes at once to the state Supreme Court.
