The last three or four days of next
month will bring an Interesting speaker
end Christian worker to Savannah. Rev.
Francis E. Clark, D. D„ president and
founder of the Christian Encb ivor Socie
ty, will speak at the First
Church. This church,
the Second Presbyterian ar.d the
Bolton Street Church of Christ are the
only three that now have bran; hcs of the
Christian Endeavor Society. Of this so
ciety, international, Dr. Clark is presi
dent, and his coming to Savannah will
doubtless be of great interest to all church
people.
Dr. Clark, in whose consecrated brain
the Christian Endeavor movement had its
origin. Is still in the early prime of life.
He was born Sept. 12. 1851, in Aylmer. Que
bec. his parents being of New England
origin. While his father, who was a civil
engineer, w\as ministering to emigrants
suffering from cholera. In the year 1833,
he himself was afflicted by the contagion
and fell a victim to the disease. Dr.
Clark's mother, who was a very Dorcas in
good works, and from whom he received
much of his sterling Christian character
as well as hiß literary ability, passed away
when the boy was 7 years of age.
He w r as then adopted by an uncle, Rev.
E. W. Clark of Auburndale, Mass. Here
and in Ciaremount, N. H., he spent his
early life. Dr. Clark graduated from
Kimball Union Academy in 18*12 and from
Dartmouth College in 1872. Three years
in Andover Seminary made him a full
fledged clergyman, and lie immediately
took charge of the Williston Church, Port-,
land. ’Me., which has become historic as
the birthplace of Christian Endeavor.
A four years’ pastorate over this con
gregation made him to feel the especial
needs of the young people, and the Christ
ian Endeavor Society resulted, on Feb. 2,
1881. In 1887, Dr. Clark, who had mean
time accepted the |>astorate of Phillips
Church, South Boston, was called to sur
render his ministerial duties, and take up
the position of editor-in-chief of the Gold
en Rule, the official organ of CliristiamEn
deavor societies. At this time also he
was made president of the United Society,
a position which, although it requires a
great deal of his time and energy, yet
makes him no financial recompense.
The work of the founder of the move
ment In propagating Christian Endeavor is
well known to all the world. He has trav
eled in every state and territory in the
United States, has toured Canada and the
British provinces, and has nftide several
trips abroad, in one journey completely
circling the globe.
His pen has been as active as
his tongue in * the work of Chris
tian Endeavor, as would be nat
ural in a man who, before his dis
covery of Christian Endeavor, had no lit
tle reputation as a writer. In addition to
his Christian Endeavor writings, Dr. Clark
has chronicled his travels in a book. "Our
Trip Around the World,’’ and has recently
prepared another book on "The Origin and
History of Christian Endeavor In All
Lands.’*
Referring to the Christian En
deavor movement and to Dr.
Clark, a leading writer says: "It is with a
Christian Endeavor society or union as
with one of these Mexican jumping beans
—it moves because there is something in
It. Whenever we see a Christian Endeavor
society or a Christian Endeavor union es
pecially active and aggressive, we imme
diately begin to look for the individual
member at the bottom of it aii. We know
that growth and activity are due to the
effort of someone person or persons."
Other churches may join those named in
union meetings, when Dr. Clark comes.
Renewed life in Christian Endeavor will
probably follow his visit.

will give the people of Savannah an op
portunity to hear one of the very best

Tlie Sunday Schools.
The international Sunday school lesson
for to-day Ison “Warning and Invitation,"
Matthew, 11:20-30. Read the whole chap
ter. Golden Text: "Come uqto me. all ye
that labor and are heavy laden and I will
give you rest." Matthew, 11:28.
“Notice the double message In the title
of this lesson. What if the words of Jesus
were realized in our lives to-day? What
if He stood before us to-day and began
to Upbraid us because we have not re
pented? Wliat If He said to us, 'Woe unto
thee, because ye have not repented?’ What
if He meant us when He said. ’lt shall
be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at
the day of Judgment than for you?’ What
if He spoke now to those who have ex
alted themselves, ‘Thou shall be brought
down to he!!?’
"Every one of us knows that he is
guilty, a law-breaker, not able to meet
justice, and excepting for mercy, lost. But
Jesus turns His words of warning into
thanksgiving to His ’Father, Laird of
heaven and earth,’ because the things of
the kingdom. Hi* love and mercy. His gift
or eternal life to every one who will have
it through Him, is so plain that babas may
know it. And He says that no man knows
the Son, but the Father, and not one of
us could know the Father, except the Son
reveals Him unto us. Like one with out
stretched hands and open arms. He says
to every one of us, rich or poor, good or
bad. wise or ignorant, ‘Come unttj Me.’
"He gives this invitation to laborers, to
burden-bearers, to tired people, ’Cyme and
rest.’ Ldke the yoke that is put upon oxen
to help them bear thetr burden. He says,
•Take My yoke upon you.* Take It for
rest. ’For My yoke Is easy and My burden
is light.’ Trf>arn of Me.’ Who else in all
the world could say so much without the
grossest egotism? But the meek and low
ly One. the One in whom ‘dwelleth all the
fullness of the Godhead bodiiy.’ having ail
wisdom and knowledge, could say to the
most learned arid mighty of earth's peo
ple. ’Learn of Me.’ Having all life in
Himself and all power In heaven and on
earth. Ho said, ‘He that beiieveth on Me
hath everlasling life,' and He adds prom
ise to invitation, ’Him that oameth umo
Me I will In no wise cast out/ ‘Whoso
ever will, let him take the water of life
freely.* ”

WASHINGTON IN LENT.
SOCIAL FIXCTIOXS YF.lt Y FEW. BUT
PLEXTY TO TALK ABOUT.
The ‘‘Heathen Chinee" In High Fa
vor—Doing* of the Daughter* of
the American Revolution—The As
sembly Bnll—Yartou* Topic* of So
cial Interest.
Washington. Feb. IS.—Forty day* of
penitence for the gay ones of society.
Forty night*’ exemption from paying
court to Mammon.
Though Lent is supposed to be a period
of quietude and reflection, in reality it i
only a sharp turn In the road of pleasure,
marking a different variety of entertain
ment. Bails come to a standstill; recep
tions are over, and these two phases of
social life will not rebound Into favor un
til Easter. Formality is declared off. and
to many the less onerous and exacting de
mands upon strength and purse are as
welcome as the breath of existence. Ii
means that dinners and luncheons may
be given economically upon the pica of
Lenten abstinence. Could it be expected
that the revolving wheel of Washington’s
brilliant season should suddenly become
stationary? The way of the fashionable
world Is said to be strictly downward,
and It would take powerful pres
sure than that brought to bear by church
and state to manage a system of perfect
moral airbrakes. And so, while the social
engines may shut off steam, sufficient mo
mentum has been gathered throughout
the past two months to cause the gay
wheel to roll smoothly on for many a day
to come.
There are so many spokes to this wheel
of pleasure, and they all radiate from the
White House hub. Ere tlje tire of the
wheel Is reached, every phase and chapter,
stratum and grade is represented, proving
Washington a modern Babel for variety
of tongues, and a city of cities for the
study of costumes. Grandmother's crazy
quilt does not display greater analogies in
fabrics than Washington displays in types
of man.
The "heathen Chinee” is in high favor as
a type just at present, and no affair of
fashion is complete without the Chinese
minister, who, being rather new to Wash
ington, and as clever an Oriental as ever
understood the subtleties of slang laden
English, is altogether the rage. While
Madame Wu stops at home nursing her
poor little feet—the like of which would re
quire a good round dozen to approach the
Trilby type—and poring over English dic
tionaries, her attractive lord and master
goes forth, with his first secretary of le
gation, to conquer social worlds.
He is literally everywhere a drinking af
ternoon tea and chocolate with excellent
grace, pledging the American women at
punch bowls, employing his generous jaws
for compliments—and condiments—whole
sale. He is devoted to sweets and he man
ages Ice cream with a fork,
with Chesterfieldian ease. At a reception
on Monday, Minister Wu, thinking to pay
a high compliment to a popular Southern
beauty, told her she resembled the fairest
type of the women of his country. There
was nothing to do but appear honored at
the fancied resemblance, however much
the sweet little American may have fum
ed within her soul.
This reception, by the way. was among
the prettiest hotel functions of the sea
son. It was given at the Normandie hv a
coterie ©f fair Southerners—Mrs. Elliott,
Mrs. Clark. Mrs. McCollough. Miss flhoup
and Miss Elans, and the apartments lent
themselves happily to exquisite decorations
and the assembling of distinguished
guests.
The parlors showed tastefully arranged
masses of roses and tulips against mald;n
hair ferns, and the tea room as fragrant
with hyacinths and pink roses. The table
was beautifully laden with delicacies, and
there were many statesmen in attendance.
Ex-Vice President Stevenson was a center
of attraction, and many of the guests dis
played the decorations belonging to the
D. A. R. organization, at present agitating
itself In Washington.
The flouthem darkey has a word in his
vocabulary which expresses the condition,
viewed collectively, of the D. A. R. state of
mitid. This word is "catawise” and it
means there are more counter-opinions,
booms and project! than there are drops
in the ocean, and that every delegation, if
not every delegate, is going “catawise" to
the others. The D. A. R. congress, in fact
suggests a disc a-whtrl upon a patriotic
stick, somewhat after the manner of a
juggler's performance.
The Daughters are a revelation to man
kind. and their enthwdasm and indefati
gable ambitions are proof thatAmerienn
Women possess Spartan blood. The ses
sions held at the Grand Opera House are
praiseworthy performances, viewed from
a theatrical standpoint. There is much
beauty to study, a constant give and take
of wit and wisdom, parliamentary discus
sions galore, laws ruled in and out, elec
tioneering and canvassing worthy of a
Tammany fight, a fugre of femine voice*,
and such a buzzing that ever woman of
the thousands present must entertain sev
eral bees In her bonnet.
The fight for the new president general
goes merrily on, but after much discus
sion it has been decided to abolish th.e of
fice of first vice president general, the sev
eral vice presidents to share alike in re
gard to power and dignity.
While their seniors have been making
more Indelible the colors of the American
flag, the junior organization known aa
the "National Society of the Children of
the American Revolution,” has also been
in session during the present week. The
Washington birthday celebration was
charming. Mrs. Tennis S. Hamlin, chap,
lain of the society, is an active Worker
in the cause of instilling patriotism into
youthful hearts, and Mrs. Daniel IxHhrop,
the president, is a host in herself.
Marches, drills, minuet dances, as our
grandmothers danced it. and music were
features of the entertainment, and the
youngsters displayed sufficient enthusiasm
to make tip a junior company for the
purpose of wiping all Spaniards off the
face of the earth in case war is declared.
The final dash of trumpets, as far ns
dance music is concerned, was sounded
Monday night when the Terpslchorean sen
son came to a finish. The assembly ball,
compared to which all other dances are
as dust to diamonds, was an affair or
entire beauty and extreme brilliancy. The
ball was held nt the Arlington, the three
parlors being used as reception rooms, and
the famous mirror-lined apartment as the
place of high revel. The latter
was like a scene In Fairy
land. every ve*tlge of woodwork being cov.
ered with white draperies, against which
Southern smliax and masses of flowers
were intricately arranged. Thousands of
electric lights sparkled like stars from the
celling and walls, and the cotillon favors
appeared to fall from two enormous gold
coruncopias placed in front of the musi
cian’s gallery, while huge knots and bows
and strands of pink salin ribbon hightened
the effect of palms and lilies.
The drawing-room mirrors rebooted
quantities of orchids, and gold shields, 111-

All the belles and beaux of Washington
were present fu:d Shrove Tuesday was sev
eral hours old when the fashionable as
sembly came to an end.
There was a time when fashion declared
that dinner guests should never number
less than the Graces, nor more than the
Muses, but oh. how things have changed.
This i3 the city and the year for mam
moth dinners, and residences, whether
bought, leased or built, are judged by the
capabilities of their dining-rooms. Better
to have a ten by twelve reception
room, a sleeping a;>artment to
consist of a folding bed ar.d a wardrobe,
and a kitchen arranged on the fire escape,
than to be possessed of a banquet hall
with accommodations for less than twenty
at table.
Round tables, of the block extension sort,
are in demand, but everyone cannot seat
half a hundred In a circle unless he has a
bank account like ex-Senator Henderson's.
This gentleman has added recently to his
"Boundary Castle,” a dining room which
is rather a temple of art, and seventy-five
people can be entertained at the circular
board.
The Btate dining room at the executive
mansion has not been used once this sea
son, because it has seating capacity for but
thirty-six. The corridor has served in
stead for a banquet hall, the long table
extending from the green parior to the
east room.
It is a coincidence that the custom of
giving ambitious tanners and that of wear
ing blouses should have come in together.
Providence suits the fashion to the neces
sity, of a truth.
Tom Karl, wdth his lonee) great voice
and his good looks, and Frank R. Stock
ton, are two celebrities at present visit
ing Washington. The former, while not
so modest as the latter, re
tains his talent for charming
women, and he Is giving<4n formal recitals
every day in the week. Even the White
House has echoed to the sound of his
tenor voice, though rumor has it that his
highly-registered achievements are not
mote musical than "Mary Jane's Top
Note."
Mr. Karl is the guest of Col. and Mrs.
Bates, who, as custodians of a popular
debutante daughter, have led resident so
ciety ns entertainers tills season.
Mr. Stockton and his delightful wife,
because water must ever seek its level,
are welcome acquisitions in literary cir
cles, and the Brunder Mathews, the Nelson
Pages and the BtoJktpns have been thrown
together not a little recently.
It 1* refreshing, certainly, to meet In
society persons whose talk is not entire
ly small, and unless one’s ideals are too
exalted, it i satisfying to come face to
face with authors.
The atmosphere, of expectancy which
has pervaded the Russian legation during
the past two months is clouded with dis
appointment. Yount Cassini, whose ar
rival has been long expected and long de
ferred, will not reach America for some
time and the attaches no longer discuss
the advent of their prospective minister.
Count Cassini is too much of a Marjory
Daw. ns yet. to tie taken seriously. But

THE INSIDE OF A SALAD.
"HV THE AMERICAN COMPOUND
LACKS THE “JUST SOMETHING”
OF THE FRENCH.
New Salad*. New Flavors—A Che*t
imt Flavor Can Re Given to Turkey
Salad as Well as* to Turkey Stuff
ing-Salad* Doth lleaUlifiil nml
Fashionable.
Note York. Feb. 25.—‘ The reason why an
American salad is not as good as a FYench
salad." said an Ameriean cook (who, by
the way declines to b@ called a chef), “is
because you Americans look too much at
the outside of a salad and too little at
the inside. Now I could make a salad out
of grass. If it were edtble grass, and you
would smack your lips over it, though the
grass might be perfectly tasteless, I have
frequently made or dressed a salad with
hay and had it pronounced excellent, and
I see no reason why I could not make a
thistle salad. I may explain that the hay
was boiled and used only as a joke, qp a
wager.
“There is bo light grassy material that
cannot be made into a salad if you under
stand the dressing. That is everything.
After a certain amount of dressing the
first taste of the vegetable disappears and
it becomes a salad; in some cases, as in
very nice celery sa.ads, a confection.
“I shall .never forget a certain dish I
once tasted at the table of a famous Rus
sian chef, whose triumphs were known
throughout St. Petersburg. The dish,
when brought to me, might have been any
thing from a lobster salad to an unpulled
roll of ‘freeh-every-hour* molasses candy.
It was oval on top, perfectly yellow, and
surrounded by the smallest sprays of
parsley. It was to be eaten with a fork.
“I stuck my fork lightly into it, found
it firm at the base, and so sawed gently
upon it with the side of my fork. It cut
readily, as though it were cheese. The
taste was simply delicious. There was a
flavor as of lemon, a rich sweet odor, and
the consistency of mayonnaise. I after
ward found it to be ‘beeif ala Alexander.'
It was cold sliced beef with a special
sauce whose secret I never learned. And
the chef had named it after himself. It
could have been served as a confection.
“A pars.ey salad, that cheapest of all
salads in the winter season, is not a had
thing at all if the parsley is made crisp.
It must be cooled on ice until It almost
snaps. Then It must be broken In the
tiniest pieces and mixed w.lh chopped
celery. This with a very rich mayonnaise
is more than acceptable for a relish. In
certain European countries they serve It
In egg shape. Eggs are boiled hard and
the yolk scooped out at the end. The
salad substance is then stuffed Inside and
the egg made to stand erect by cutting
off the end 'a ia Columbus.’ This is served
upon the plate and is eaten with the fork,
usually with the course in which potatoes
are served, as fried chicken, creamed po
tatoes and parsley salad, if you are serv
ing a southern luncheon.
“The trouble also with an Ameriean
salad Is the fear Americans have of mix
ing things up. If an American cook uses
one vegetable in a salad she thinks she
has used sufficient. With lettuce she may
use the time-honored tomato and cucum
ber slices, the trio honored by common
consent, but none too harmonious in
flavor. But If she makes a clear lettuce
salad It never occurs to her to combine
anything with it unseen, nor does she de
part from the regu.ation mayonnaise
flavors..
“Now, I know a good chef who carries
with him a box of sixty flavors. They
are in small bottles; labelled and pushed
under leather straps like the case of a
homeopathic physlc.an, and these he uses
when making his supper salads. He
visits houses where balls are to be given
and assists the kitchen chef with the salad
mixing. The result of this variety can
easily be imagined. Though you may eat
his cooking for weeks you never tire of
it, nor can you be certain that your lunch
eon to-day has been prepared by the same
chef who prepared it yesterday. There is
a ‘tooth’ to his dishes which makes them
go down. Each day there is a flavor of
unaccustomedness.
“Ar.d what does he have? Well, almonds,
for one thing! You have eaten at very
elegant caterers' those tiny confections
that are served with creams and ices.
Those soft, frosting-encased sweet cakes
that melt away in your mouth. On some
of them there Is a sprinkling of something
that looks like nutmeg. It is the coating
of an almond, and it is the sign mark
that a touch of almond flavor is wllhin.
“Orange, lemon, vanilla, pistachio,
strawberry, plum, peach, banana, apri
cot and quince are common flavors with
the confectioner, but seldom used at home
by the home cook, who sticks to the lemon
and vanilla with Penelope fidelity. And
so, in salad making, are used onion, nas
turtium, garlic, lemon, celery, cinnamon
and all the spices common to the salad
chef, but not to the home salad maker,
who slicks to "the compound that bites
too soon’ and to mustard and oil, but
rarely salt and never pepper. Yet the
first-class salad maker warns all of these.
“The most important ingredient in the
new salads is garlic. This is used in pref
erence to onion, which it sometimes re
sembles. Each year it may be stated that
salads change, and this year they have a
most decided garlic leaning. To use a
garlic successfully In salads separate one
of the small sections from the whole gar
lic, and, cutting it small, squeeze it into
the bottom of the bowl In which the dress
ing is to be made. It wilt become thor
oughly mixed through by the time the
compound is completed. Treat the dress
ing as though the garlic were not there.
Finally, pour over the salad.
"Many misguided persons mince the gar
lic and mix it titrough the lettuce bowl,
a horrible mouthful for an American pal
ate. Not more tl an six drops of garlic
juice should be ua?d.
“One chef gels excellent salad results
by squeezing the jneat of a large ripe
chestnut in his turkey salad dressing. He
says, if turkeys are sttuffed with chestnuts
why should not turktT salad be served
with ohesinut extract! The result is very
g<od. Ho uses vinegi r lightly and the
chestnut flavor is not Nvtt.
“For salads that may be tasteless, such
as chicken salad, or whtn the palate has
tired of chicken, I squeci e the juice of a
stjuab upon the meat, aft er chopping it,
and stirring it In a bowl. Cornelius Van
derbilts chef is said to Rive originated
this. A squab is taken uneCoked and dis
jointed. It ia then put* through a
small press and the juioc extracted.
This is heated ands flowed to
cool. It Is then poured over fthe chopped
chicken and let stand two hours. Just
before taking to table the sata*l (Messing
is poured over the top.
“ 'Poured over the top’ Is an e* pression
hateful to a French or Italian chef, who
tosses his salad together as thovtgh he
were a roadman, and who considers It half
unmade until every leaf is wet. Ti t toss
ing Is a graceful net, and that is wily so
ciety salads are generally good. The mix
er—whether it be beauty or the bet st—
should toss it well.
"A salad Is the most valuable dish F<ne
can serve. It Is healthful, because, gw n
erally minced. It is delectable, becau* e
nicely seasoned; and it is fashionable.***
Examples of Hindoo Cruelty.
From the Sketch.
The correspondent who sends the follow
ing to the Calcutta Asian states that hia
Information came to him on unimpeacha
ble authority. During a royal hunt in one
of the Rajpoot states an exceptionally Are
tiger was caught—netted, no doubt—aid
lured Into a cage; his captors then pro
ceeded to noose his feet and draw them
through holes bored In the floor of the
cage, and a blacksmith was directed ta
draw his claws. The tiger’s legs having
been secured by ropes, the royal sportsmen
had a sliding door in the cage opened, and
when the captHe put his head out fin’
shut the door down on his neck while tnu
blacksmith, with mallet and chisel, broka
off his teeth; preparations were conclud
ed by muzzling the poor brute with strong
wire in some inhuman fashion. The tiger
was then released, to be baited by doge,
and, despite his maimed condition, he kil -
ed several before the “sportsmen” wearied
of the game and shot him.
If this story is true, and the information
is said to have come from an eyewitness—
and there is nothing impossible in the crip
pling part of the business—one would dear
ly like to take each of those Rajpoot roy
alties in turn and read him a lesson with
a cutting whip. Natives have singular
ideas concerning the use of caged tiger-.
At the end of a street in Jeypoor, one
of the finest and most advanced of cities
under “protected” native rule, they keep
—or kept ten years ago—a number of u
gers in small cages. When a European
visitor aprpoached, the keeper immediate
ly appeared from his house close by, sa
laamed profoundly, and proceeded, first t
spit on his charges and then to stir ’them
up with an iron rod kept for the pur;>ose.
When the savage roaring this treatment
naturally produced died away, that keeper
salaamed more profoundly and held out
his hand. If bakshish was not promptly’
forthcoming, he said that “owing to fear
of the Presence, these sons and daughter!
of female dogs do not roar their loudest,'*
and spat and stirred again.
