GEORGIA AND FLORIDA
MES AND EVENTS OE TWO STATES
BRIEFLY DESCRIBED.
X. Dietzen & Brother of Chattanooga
have sold to St. Louis capitalists one
half interest in their large fruit and
vegetable farm at Tnotnasville for $-0.-
000. This property consists of 1.200 to
1.50© acres, and is considered very val
uable. It is said that the same capital
ists also have an option on the Dietzen
property at Fort Valley and that the
price is to be J 30.000. The results of
last year's business alone on th* prop
erty was $21,000. The tract includes
over 300.006 bearing trees and sO.OOO
vines of grapes. They are the largest
fruit interests in the South. The sales
were caused by the recent death of
Joseph Dietzen, who had" charge of this
branch of the business, and on account
of Nick Dietzen desiring to retire.
MAY STRIKE AT AUGUSTA.
There is much interest in the possi
bility of a strike in the mills at Au
gusta on March IT. The textile work
ers have made a demand upon the
King mill for a 10 per cent, increase
in wages in certain departments, if not
all over the mill, and have fixed March
IT as the date on which they will ex
pect a response. The management of
the King mill assert that it cannot
grant the increase asked for in justice
to the owners of the property. It is
insisted that the increase could not be
paid out of the earnings of the mill,
and in order to comply with the de
mand, unjust demands would have to
be made upon the capital of the mill.
Rumor has it that if the request is
not complied with the operatives in
tend to walk out. It is said if the op
eratives w alk out of the King mill then
all the mills will close down. This
would mean the rutting off of more
than $50,000 a month in cash that goes
into the pay roiis of these mills.

ters of importance to discuss.

THE PRINCE’S DINNER.
How Great Banquet Won Prepared
and Placed Upon the Tnhle.
From the Philadelphia Times.
New York, March B.—Two hundred
quarts of soup, T. 200 oysters, 500 chick
ens, T. 200 ounces of fish, 2,000 pounds
of beef, 600 ducks, besides innumerable
gallons of coffee and scores of freezers
of ice cream, were needed to serve the
guests at to-night's dinner to Prince
Henry. The banquet was the largest
ever prepared in the Waldorf-Astoria.
Twelve hundred guesu? were accommo
dated in the grand bsnl room, 120 sing
ers in the Astor Gallery adjoining, and
more than 400 women in the two tiers
of boxes.
How linear manages to serve such an
enormous dinner and yet have every
portion of food as hot as though it
were specially prepared for a particu
lar guest is a question that has puz
zled many a patron of the hotel. Os
car explains that it is a very simple
problem. He Is the chef of the hotel,
and his last name is Tschirky, but he
says he does not care for anybody to
use it in addressing him. as the front
name has been of so much more ser
vice to him professionally. If you ask
him how he manipulates the thousands
of dishes at such a great dinner, how
he keeps his waiters in line, how he
signals from carving table to kitchen,
and how, in short, he effects a rigid
following of a prearranged schedule,
he will tell you that it is “military j
training.”

Oscar's Special Watters.
The dinner given to the Prince the
week before last by the New Yorker
Staats-Zeitung was the second largest
: banquet Oscar ever superintended, and
the way he went about arranging for
that wag similar to his methods of to
night. when the hosts were the mem
bers of the German Society of New
York. For this last banquet, for in
stance, he had 4TO extra waiters, in
cluding those at the carving tables,
which were placed in the long hallway
leading back toward Fifth avenue from
the grand ball room. None of the reg
ular waiters of the hotel participated.
The ' extras” were men on Oscar's spe
cial list.
"I have their names in a book," he
explains. “Most of them work down
town In daytime, and at night they are
ready for special dinners here, or at
Sherry's, or at Delmonico's. But In
this case, and In all cases where there
are more than 500 guests to be served,
I have to go beyond my selected list.
I have to pick up men that 1 don't
want particularly. There are not
enough A1 waiters among the extras
to fill the bill for as big a dinner as
this one, yet the additional hundred
or so are fairly good, and they have
been pressed Into service often enough
to know how to behave themselves.
Preparations for such an affair as
this begin forty-eight hours ahead of
time. On the previous day the hotel
marketers go out and get all the nec
essary provisions. A brigade of deco
rators begins to festoon the balconies
and gilded columns of the ball room
with whatever decorations the hosts
have arranged to display. Scrubwo
men and scrubmen start to polish up
the brass railings. Sweepers and dust
ers clean the chairs in the boxes and
on the main floor, and make the car
pets and canopies and curtains look
spick and span.
The liny of the Feast.
Earlw in the morning of the day set
for the dinner the tables are carried to
the ball room, and twoscore of waiters
are busy all dav setting them, polish
ing up the silver and redusting the
chairs. In the afternoon about three
hours before the hour of the dinner,
the rest of the extra waiters make
their appearance. They are assigned
to their places, one "table man” to
every eight guests and one "wine man"
to every twelve. Some are stationed
at the carving tables, each with his
particular duty. Oscar and his head
assistants scurry about this way and
that, seeing to it that there is no place
uncovered, no detail unprepared, no
dish or piece of silverware lacking.
Just before 5 o'clock the flower men
come. They have had to wait until
late for their share in the arrange
ments. because the roses must look
fresh and the leaves vividly green. The
tracing of delicate blossoms and ever
greens along the cloth of the guests’
table must not have time to wither,
and the specially decorative bouquet la
front of the guest of honor, whether he
be the Prince or some other distin
guished man, must seem to have come
straight from the greenhouse.
Meanwhile the kitchen has been a
scene of great activity. There are no
extra cooks, but those regularly on
duty have to move around mucli more
rapidly than on other days. They get
the food ready "between rushes" in
the morning and afternoon, leaving the
most delicate viands to the last. By
the time 6 o’clock has come everything
is ready, and a squad of men—cooks
or waiters—are In their places near the
ovens, all on the alert for the signal
that means they are to transfer the
food to a special elevator and send it
up stairs to Oscar. The grand ball
room is on the second floor, the kitch
ens in the basement.
Guest* Really to Bit Down.
It is announced to the chef that the
guests are ready to sit down. Through
a tube he transfers the information
down stairs. Then he rings a bell
and in two minutes the oysters are
on the tables, having been prepared at
the carving tables. The waiters stand
like statues, each at his post. The
guests die into the imitation fairyland,
perhaps cheer the honored visitor,
stand until he Is seated, and then pro
ceed to make way with the first course.
Meanwhile the "wine men” have
placed on each table the beverage pre
scribed for this stage of the feast, and
the diners find their glasses filled be
fore they have had time to unfold
their napkins.
The bell that Oscar rings is just out
side the door between the hall of
carving tables and the ballroom. He
•himself never goes into the dining
room. He walks up and down the long,
canvas-covered tables, and every time
he gets to the end nearest the ball
room he pokes his head about two
inches inside the door to see how far
the eating of the course has advanced.
At the right mqjnent, when all or a
majority of the diners seem to have
finished their oysters, he touches an
electric button. The* bell rings—so
loudly that everybody on the floor can
hear it. On the Instant the waiters be
gin to take away ‘the oyster plates,
with which they file out, and tlie
"wine men” replace the first wine with
the second.
In less than four minutes after the
ringing of the bell the same waiters
who carried out the oyster plates re
turn with the soup. The oyster dishes
have been deposited in "ships" and
hustled down to the kitchen on the
elevator. At point the guests
begin to wonder, if they have never
had the question answered for them,
why the soup is hot. how more than
1,200 plates can possibly be brought to
the tables steaming as though they
were transferred from a stove a dozen
feet away.
How Soup 1* Kept Hot.
“Of course it's hot,” says Oscar.
"Just before they finish their oysters
I call down to the kitchen. Up comes
the soup. Into the heaters on the
carving tables It goes. It stays there
until It is very hot. Then the oysters
come out. While they are coming
the soup is being poured Into plates,
and Just as soon as it's in the waiters
are ready to take it to thq guests.”
In this way the dinner proceeds.
Each course :is brought from the
kitchen just In time, then heated un
til the diners are ready to consume it.
There is no colliding of waiters—ex

boxes are served 'vfth what the chef
designates as a "collation." This con
sists of bouillon, chicken salad, ices,
claret punch, and wines. Everybody
gets coffee, and the men on the main
floor can have cigarettes or cigars at
any time during the dinner. Hundreds
of package? of the former are consum
ed. and many boxes of the latter, all
or the best quality.
For the dinner to the Prince the
week before last the special feature
was the “proee?<"\n of ices.” each
waiter marching with a fancy prepar
ation raised high over his head. Os
car lined them upln the* hallway first.
Then he poked his head inside the door
and nodded to the orchestra in the top
bakbny. The music—a march—began,
and the waiters started forward. They
circled in and out among the tables
and finally placed each ice in its prop
er place. This feature, though more
elaborate than those arranged for
previous dinners, was yet similar to
many seen in the hotel before, and
the way tt was managed was the same
as in former cases.
MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
Loral and General Yews of Ship*
and Shipping.
The hauling of horses and mules to
Carolina estates reached by the Sa
vannah and Bluffton boats is on the
increase. The steamboat Doretta took
several yesterday, amoqg them being
some horses for R. T. Wilson, Jr., for
his recently purchased estate in Caro
lina. Mules are going to farmers over
there, and the number indicates that
more attention is probably being given
to agriculture yearly. The steamboat
men had some difficulty in loading th“
mules. They showed outright stubborn
ness in approaching the gangway. It
was one of the times when the co’ored
man w as not master of the mule, for a
half dozen worried with one animal for
some time without being able to induce
it to embark. At last a well-known
steamboat captain got a hickory pole
about ten feet long, and directing the
negroes to "guide” the mule, raised the
pole and began pounding. Th* wharf
was cleared In an instant.
A definite plan for anew steamship
lire between this city and New Orleans
will probably be submitted at the meet
ing of the Trades Eeague on Thurs
day, ri ys the Philadelphia Record.
This is the result of the recent tour of
N. R. Kelly, the secretary of the
league, when he visited the principal
Gulf port? and seme of the other prom
inent cities of the South. where he had
conferences with the warlous commer
cial bodies. Mr. Kelly states that ho
found much in the South showing that
Philadelphia was winning in favor-as
a trade center. In New Orleans, ho
says, he found a strong effort to co-op
erate with Philadelphia in establishing
a steamship line between the two
eitleg, and stopping at a few of th-
Gulf ports The buisnes? men's organi
zations of New Orleans promised to
give substantial support to such an
enterprise, and the municipal govern
ment, which has control of the docks,
offered special consideration trvth? line.
Capitalists in the Southern metropolis
have also pledged to aid the project
and standcready to .subscribe liberally
for It. With these pledges from the
South the Trades League proposes to
take hold of the matter and vigorously
push it here, with the hope that the
line will be in operation before the end
of the summer.

Murphy <fc Co’s Sto*'k Letter.
New York. March 12.—The market
showed increased activity to-day, but
dealings were marked with great ir
regularity. There were fitful fluctu
ations between weakness and strength
in general list, and at same time there
were independent ‘movements amdng
the indifferent railroad and industrial
issues. _ Mid-day weakness was char
acterized by a sharp upward move in
the Coalers on the announcement of
this bureau that no danger of a strike
was apprehended. Later on the mar
ket became weak under the double in
fluence of a severe break in Copper,
and a decided advance in call money.
Amalgamated declined with only fee
ble rallies, 4%. Anaconda lost 1% in
sympathy. Sugar fell over 1 per cent,
on disappointment at the delay in Re
publican agreement with regard to Cu
ban sugar tariff question. Other strong
industrials were Consolidated Gas.
General Electric, Cotton Oil and the
Pacifies. The strong features in the
Railroads outside of the Coalers were
Rock Island and Union Pacific. The
rulers from the afternoon depression
were the Reading and Erie issues. Su
gar was strong on the close.

REMEMBER YOU HAVE
DEAR ONES AT HOME
and yon should make them comfortable, and you cannot do it more tSt -
tively than by buying one of our
PERFECTION MATTRESSES.
We guarantee them never to get hard or lumpy, and they never hav= to
be made over. Think of the saving in not having to do so. To make over
any ordinary mattress will cost you $3 to $5 each time. If after you use it*
30 days you do not like it you can return. Next to having a good mattress
you must have a good spring, and the best in the WORLD Is the genuine
NATIONAL WIRE.
You must look out for so-called National Wire Springs, as they are only
infringements, as no one can sell the GENUINE but ourselves, we having
the exclusive agency of same. We forgot to mention that the Perfection Mat
tress can only be had from us. Then we have the exclusive sales of the fol
lowing: Heywocd's Go-Carts. Odorless Refrigerators, Bernstein’s Iron Beds,
Good Form Clothes Sets, Imperial Furniture Polish and Roach Destroyer.
THIS WEEK ONLY.
To get the Imperial Polish in 250 houses we will sell it for 25c a bottle:
Only ONE bottle to a customer. It is the only polish made that will not
gum or leave a streaky appearance—but will make your old furniture look
like new.
We have only a few more of those $2.00 Rugs that we are selling for 81.25.
