THE SUNEY SOUTH. ATLANTA, GA* SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 2‘2,1887
Baton Rouge Notes.
Baton Rouge has shaken ofl her sleepy sum
mer look and is quite lively. Cotton bales
piled high on wagons, and some happy negro
perched on the topmcst bale singing some old
plantation melody, looking as well pleased as
it ia possible to be. Negroes are always happy
during cotton picking and grinding time.
Governor and Mrs. McEnery and their three
bright children have returned home.
Miss Lizzie MacMurdo is visiting her cousin
Miss Tal MacMurdo.
Miss Inez Knowlton is at Capt. John Mc
Grath’s for a week or two.
Mrs. S. W. Bacot has returned from a long
visit to South Carolina.
Rev. T. S. DeMattos has returned from Min
nesota much improved in health. His friends
are delighted to have him with them again.
Maj. Arthur Prescott was appointed Com
mandant of the Louisiana State University in
place of Col. S. M. Robertson, who was nomi
nated Congressman from the Sixth District.
Cadet J. G. Lee was appointed assistant Com
mandant, and Col. D. T. Boyd, Professor of
Natural Sciences, at the meeting of the Uni
versity Board on Oct. 6th, 1887.
Prof. John Pearce left Baton Rouge on Mon
day to take a position in the Tulane Universi
ty, New Orleans. The University opened on
Oct. 6th with a large number of pupils.
The public schools and all the private schools
have a full attendance. It is a marvelous sight
to see the number of school children a place of
this size sends forth every day.
Baton Rouge is improving in every way—
new stores, residences, sidewalks, and a great
many repairs, etc., are biing made.
The stores are well stocked and new clerks
engaged for a big fall trade. Business is good
and is getting better every day.
The theatrical season opened at Pikes’
Opera House with the Berlaad Combination,
Oct. 6, to a bad business. It is not an unusual
thing for ten cent shows to come up from New
Orleans and charge fifty and seventy-five
cents. Our people are tired of being hum
bugged, and do not patronize them.
The season opened with the Anniversary
Rcoeption of the Pansy Circle at the Mayer
Hotel. A finer opening of the season could
not have been made. There were just enough
guests to make dancing pleasant, and every
one who was fortunate enough to attend pro
nounced it one of the most recherche affairs ever
given in our little city. One of the pleasures
of the evening was the presentation of a lovely
floral offering from the Froshin Society, of
New Orleans, by Hon. Warren Easton—which
was gracefully received by the President of
the I’ansieB, Miss McGrath. The following
are a few of the numerous pretty toilets worn
by a few of the pretty girls who attended:
MiBS Lucie Mansur was charming in white
satin; Miss Vickie Gass, white lace; Miss Mat-
tie McGrath, (President,) white moire and
plush; Miss Knowlton, white and silver—en
traine: Miss Maitae, white lace; Miss Addie
McGrath, black lace trimmed with daisies;
Miss Connor, pink albatros; Miss Funke, blue
satin; Miss Mittie Burden, black and gold sat
in; Miss Randolph, white silk and illusion;
Miss Brooks, lace and satin; Miss Gass, blue
moire; Miss Feltus, laco and pink satin rib
bons; Miss Hart, white mull; Misses Emma
Mendlesohn and Nellie Meyer, white lace;
Miss Alice McCabe, white satin and pearl
trimming; Miss Elfie McCabe, old gold and
black satin; Miss Julia McGrath, white vel
vet with silver; Mrs. Jastremski, white satin,
tulle overdress; Mrs. Leon Jastremski, Mrs.
A. Wax, Mrs. Brooks, Mrs. Easton and a
great many others were handsomely costumed.
The cadets in their grey uniform?, and the
young men in their evening suits were all
charming, and “yours forever’’ only sighs to
think that with him it has passed and gone;
with a great many other delightful things, it
is “only a sweet gone bj 1“
Invitations are out for several weddings,
and a farewell ball of the Y. M. L & S. C.

As soon as the ceremony ended the bridal

wines, and at 7 o’clock the groom and his
lovely bride left on their tour. They go first

Matnri Mutes.
[Boonville, Mo, Advertiser.]
One of the most unique as well as enjoya
ble weddings which ever took place in Boon
ville, occurred in the city yesterday, the occa
sion being the marriage of Miss Mattie B.
Hutchinson, the mute daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Walter Hutchinson, and Mr. Ashbel N.
Merrell, the mute son of the late Dr. Merrell,
of St. Louis.
Miss Mattie was educated at Fulton, Mis
souri, and is an accomplished and refined
young lady with a large circle cf friends, not
only in this city, but throughout the State.
Mr. Merrell was also educated at Fulton
and is a gentleman of not only fine business
capabilities but possesses an upright and
estimable character. The parties became ac
quainted at Fulton, and the result seems to be
particularly appropriate.
By special request, Rev. J. J. Wilkins,
formerly of this city, at present of Sedaiia,
was called to perform the ceremony, he having
administered the rite of baptism to the bride
and beneath his ministration witnessed her
confirmation. The ceremony, whioh was a
beautiful one, took place at the bride’s family
residence in the presence of only immediate
relatives and friends, and was as follows:
Miss Merrell, sister of the groom, took her
place at the left of the bride holding the prayer
book, while at the right of the groom the
brother of the bride performed a similar ser
vice.
The ceremony was the popular one of the
Episcopal church, and was followed by the at
tendants until the responses were reached
when these were given in the sign language by
the groom and interpreted and confirmed by
the bride’s brother.
After the ceremony and congratulations, a
wedding breakfast of many choice viands was
carefully served on flower-decked tables, and
the newly wedded Mr. nnd Mrs. Merrell took
their departure for their future home in St.
Louis.
Among the many presents were articles of
silverware, furniture, paintings and bric-a-brac
of various kinds, the whole constituting a de
sirable outfit.
The Adoertiser joins with the young couple’s
many friends in wishing them a life of unal
loyed happiness and prosperity.
Exciticg Scece in Nashville.
Rev. W. A. Candler Creates a Sensa
tion-Miss tmma Abbott Aroused.
On the morning of Sunday the 9th, there was
a sensational scene at McKendree Church.
Rev. W. A. Candler, one of the most promi
nent Methodist ministers in the South, the
pastor of McKendree, preached a sermon on
theater-going, used severely denunciatory lan
guage in connection with theaters and theater
goers, and in speaking of actors and actresses,
spoke of them in the most uncomplimentary
manner. When Mr. Candler finished his ser
mon, Miss Emma Abbott, who was in the au
dience, rose, trembling with emotion, and very
pale. She announced her name, and then
said she had been on the stage since she was
tight years old, and had always tried consci
entiously, to the best of her ability, to do her
duty before God at all times, and that she
would defy any one in the world to say one
word againet her fair name. She said she
would speak of such noble women as Jen
ny Lind, Albani, Modjeski and countless
other lights of the stage who had led exempla
ry lives, who had devoted themselves to doing
good deeds, and who were noble wives and
mothers.
The minister had made objection to prayers
being sung in the operas, but when she kneeled
down to sing the prayer in Mignon and the
Bohemian Girl, those words came right from
her heart. In all the operas given last week,
there was no impure or improper allusion, and
because one occasionally finds vice in the pul
pit, or upon the stage, there is no reason for
such wholesale denunciation, which, in her
opinion, was entirely false and uncalled for.
Before the deafening applause that followed
Miss Abbott’s words had ceased, Mr. Candler
said:
“I will not undertake to reply to the lady,
as she is a lady, but such a performance is
more suited to the theatre than the house of
God.”
Your reporter called on Miss Abbott after
her return to the hotel, and found her at din
ner with her husband, hastening through it in
order to catch the afternoon train to Chatta
nooga. She was evidently much wrought up
and was suffering from a feeling of injustice.
Her woman’s soul had been deeply wounded.
“God knows,” she said, “I have humbly
tried to do my duty. My father and mother
know I have been a true womanly daughter to
them, and I defy any one to say they ever
heard aught against Emma Abbott. I have
had a hard week’s work here, and after two
fatiguing performances yesterday, I got up
earlier than usual to-day to be able to attend
divine worship. I am a member of the church,
and always attend if possible. I went humbly
for comtort and to ask God’s help to carry me
through another week safely. I love congre
gational siDging, and I love church music. I
joined in all the hymns, and enjoyed them. I
took my seat near the door, as I always do.
I went to the church, entirely accidentally to
that church. In his sermon, at first, the min
ister gave utterance to anecdotes and illustra
tions that I thought entirely irreverent in the
pulpit. Then he began to speak of theaters
and theatrical people, and made a wholesale
denunciation of every one of them. I could
hardly contain myself. He did not make an
exception, and how could I keep silent? Emma
Abbott prizes her name as a woman as much
as she does her reputation as an artist.”
Rev. Mr. Candler declined to be interviewed
but said if he had gotten up in a theater and
attempted to express his views, a policeman
would have put him out.
The incident caused the greatest excitement.

Aunt Beady’s French Rolls.
Mrs. Primrose Posey had just got home from
a pleasure trip to the springs. Now, anybody
who has ever taken a pleasure trip to the
springs, no matter where, knows what that
means, but for the sake of the uninitiated
who have never been there we will explain; it
means sweltering all night at the rate of sixty
dollars a month, in a closet ten feet by twelve,
politely termed a front bed-room—and calling
it pleasure; it means the pleasure of getting np
in the morning to bathe in three spoonfuls of
water that you have got from the chamber
maid after many delays, at an average cost of
about ten cents a drop; it means the pleasure
of going down to breakfast on biscuit that ap
pears to have been concocted with an ultimate
view to their use as cannon balls, and coffee
in which the water, so conspicuous for its ab-
sence in your morning bath, is now equally
conspicuous for its presence; it means dining
on soup made after the most approved hoard
ing-house recipe, by pouring a can of tomatoes
into a pot of greasy water, followed by spring
chickens that have seen any number of springs,
with dessert of green fruit pies remarkable for
their great liberality of crust—especially if the
latter be valued according to weight.
Now, everybody that has had the privilege
of spending six weeks, or even six days, at one
of our “most popular resorts,” knows how
condusive this sert of fare is to the develop
ment of large appetites, and if we do not ruin
our digestion in the effort to satisfy them, we
go back home with such splendid appetites
that we feel sure our summer outing must
have been of immense benefit to us.
Thus it was with the Posey family. They
came home a hungry army, and Mrs. Posey’s
experience of moan tain fare had giver her such
an exalted idea of the importance of the kitch
en, that from this time forward, she looked
upon cookery as the finest of the fine arts.
She laid aside her crazy quilts, her crochetted
tidies, her patchwork sofa cushions, her rus
tic picture frames, and other artistic trash
with which modern women delight to lumber
up their houses, and betook herself to the
cooking-stove with a zeal that brought tears of
gratitude to the eyes of her husband.
But there was one branch of the culinary
art that neither Mrs. Posey nor any other
honse-keeper in Sugar Hill had ever been able
to compass—the art of making French rolls
like aunt Beady Pounds. The old darkey had
for years enjoyed a pre-eminence in this de
partment that gave her a monopoly of the trade,
and no swell 3upper or breakfast on Apple-
blosssom street was ever complete without a
dish of aunt Beady’s French rolls. But Mrs.
Posey, like all true lovers of art, had grown
ambitions, she was gaining a reputation
among the notable house-keepers of Su
gar Hill, and wanted to have only
home-made bread on her table; she
would; get aunt Beady’s exact recipe and
work at it till she could turn out a plate of
rolls equal to aunt Beady’s own.
Intent upon this landahlo design, she went
round io Larned St. one day, and made her
desire known to aunt Beady.
“Law, honey, hit’s jes’ ez easy ez dirt,”
said the old darkey, placing her fat arms akim
bo, and beaming all over with satisfaction at
this tribute of her skill, “an’ I kin tell you in
a minute jes’ ezackly how to mek ’em. I’se
’splained it to a dozen ladies in Sugar Hill, I
reckon, an’ I can’t on’erstan’ why none uf ’em
ain’t ever ben able to suckceed, case hit ’taint
a bit er trouble. You teks about ez much
flour ez you think ’ll do, ’an lard enough to
give it de right shortnin’, an fresh aigs accor
din’ to your flour, and beat ’em seperate befo’
you puts ’em in; an’ you mixes yo’ dough wid
water enough to mek it de right insistency;
you mus’ be very keerful not to git yo’ dough
nuther too thick nor too thin, fur ef you does,
hit woan’ rise, an’ ”
“But aunt Beady,” interrupted the bewil
dered housekeeper, “I want to know the exact
proportions—just how much flour, and lard,
and eggs, and other ingredients to put togeth
er.”
“Law, chile, hit doan mek a hit er diffunce
’bout de popotious an’ de greediness,” replied
aunt Beady, blandly, “ ’ceppin’ only ef der is
ve’y greedy, or dar is a heap nf ’em t’eat, you
teks mo’. Mis. Jedge Carnes, when de cote
meet ’an she have a heap er cump’ny, inginer-
ly sen me three quarts er flour to a risin’, hut
yo’ fambly beiu smaller, you mought not keer
fur so much.”
“No, I suppose one quart would do for us,”
suggested Mrs. Posey, congratulating herself
that at last she hal got down to something
definite.
“Yes, one quart mought do fur a small ris
in’,” assented aunt Beady.
“One quart flour”—wrote Mrs. Posey in her
recipe book—“and how much lard to a quart
of flour?” she continued appealing again to
aunt Beady.
“Jes’ enough to give it de right shortnin’,”
answered the old negro patronizingly, “but
you mus’ be keerful not put too much short
nin’ in light bread, or it ’ll mek it fall.”
“Will a table spoonful do?” inquired Mrs.
Posey tentively.
“Yes’m, I reckon so, depen’in on de size er
de spoon, an’ ef you fine hit’s too much, you
kin add a little mo’ flour.”
“One table spoonful of lard,” was next en
tered on Mrs. Posey’s book. “And now” con
tinued this persevering seeker after knowl
edge, “bow many eggs to a quart of flour?”
“Dal’s jes’ accordin’ to de ins'stenoy er yo’
dongh, an’ how much water you’se gwine to
put in,” replied aunt Beady adjusting her
head handkerchief, “yon mus’ jes’ keep a wurk-
in’ it np, an’ addin a little flour, or water, or aigs,
whichever is needed, tell y*’ dough gits de right
insistency to rise good, an’ den stop; ef you
gits it too saft yo’ bread ’ll run an’ spread; an’
ef it’s too thick, hit’ll be tough.”
“I’ll have to guess at the water,” said Mrs.
Posey to herself, “and the yeast,” she added
aloud, “how much of that amt what kind?”
“De eas’, dat’s de mos’ diffikilt pint fur de
ginerality er folks,” answered aunt Beady,
with emphasis; “an’ de reason why so many
uf’em fails in risin’ dere bread, is ’caze dey
ain’ pertickler ’bouten de eas’. Some lacks
pertater^as’, ah’ some everlastin’, an’ some
gits sto’eas’ fum de dreggis’es, but fur me, I
uses de hop eas’; hit’s de mos’ sartiD, an’ de
handies’ to keep by you all de time. But you
must be sho’ to git it made jes’ right, an’ put
in jes’ ezactly enough to riBe yo’ bread good—
no mo’ nor no less. Ef you gits too much,
hit’ll be sour, an’ ef you doan git enough it’ll
be heavy. An’ den, atter you git yo’ dongh
waked up wid de eas’ an’ set to rise, you mus’
be ve’y keerful to keep it het even’in’ all de
time, ’caze ef you don’t, hit’ll be sho’ to spile.
I nuver fails wid my momin’ risin’, ’caze in
cool weather I always wrops ii up in a napkin
an’ teks it to bed wid me over night an’ keeps
it nn’er de kiver wid aie, whar it's kep at a
even’in’ heat all night. Ef you’ll do dat, you
woan nuver fail to fine yo’ momin’ dough liz
beautiful, ’caze de warmih er yo’ bodyTl keep
it het jes’ right all de time. I’se Den a risin’
my dough dat away fur twenty yeer, an’ ain’
nuver knowed it fail yet. I’se mekin’ a risin’
er Frei ch rolls now fur Mis Brockn’ton,
which’n she’ a gwineter have cump’ny to
night, an’ as M’ria Jane have ben sick in bed
all day wid de neurolygy an’ ain’ fitten fur
nothin’ else, I put ’em to bed wid her an' let
’em stay dar tell lime fur dere second wukin’
over, an’ dey’se jes’t riz perfeck, ez you kin
see fur yo’se’f ef you goes dar to-night.’
Mrs Posey did not pursue her investigations
further. She had learned a good deai more
than she expected, atd went home satisfied to
do without aunt Beady’s rolls in future.

THE CHILL MASTER.
Chills and Fevers Completely
Conquered.
Perfect and Absolute Cure for the
tforst Cases of Chills; Also a Fine
Remedy for Sorethroat, Head
ache, Neuralgia, Malarial
Fever and General
Debility.
Twelve months of severe suffering from
chills and fevers left me, as I supposed, a
hopeless invalid. The best physicians and
every known remedy brought me no relief and
I decided to try an invention of my own, and
to my great astonishment it effected a com
plete and permanent care. I then determined
to send the remedy abroad for suffering hu
manity, and wherever it has gone it has pro
duced marvellous results and brought back
countless expressions of gratitude from multi
tudes who have been soundly healed by its
magic touch. In Cincinnati I refused several
times to take *5,000 for the patent, and have
since refused various liberal offers for it.
It is indeed a thorough Master of Chills,
and will destroy them completely in the worst
malarial sections where no other known rem
edy will produce any effect upon them. It has
been found also to be a fine tonic for general
debility and delicate constitutions. It will
strengthen and build them up permanently.
It is a fine appetizer, excellent remedy for
neuralgia, sorethroat, remittent and intermit
tent fevers, and has been recommended for
dyspepsia.
Try it and be healed, and then tell it to your
suffering neighbor.
If your druggist does not have it on hand,
tell him to order it for you from the under
signed. Mrs. J. D. Boxley.
