vannah officiating, using the ceremony
of the Jewish church.
“Mrs. Stlrk played the wedding
march, Mendelssohn’s,2 to which the
couple entered, and stood beneath a
canopy of Southern smilax and flowers
suspended from the celling in a corner
of the room. After the ceremony,
which was beautifully and impressive
ly performed, Miss Atwood, an accom
plished violinist of New York, and
Miss Rena Morton, accompanist, of
Wilmington played a recessional march
very sweetly. The music was a de
cided feature of an event perfect in its
complement of detail. The marriage
occurred \at 5 o’clock and the couple
left soon afterward for St. Augustine,
where they will spend a while before
going to New York. After the trip to
New York they will be at home to
their friends in Savannah, where the
groom is engaged in business. Re
freshments were served after the mar
riage. Among the guests present were
Mis* Hendricks. Mrs. Wolfe, aunts of
the bride, from Savannah; Mr. J. M.
Solomons of Savannah, Mrs. Byrd of
Savannah and Mrs. Davis of New

“The event was attended with all the
happiness which such an occasion de

attractive in her smart traveling suit.
She has a number of friends in Jack
sonville who will miss her from the
select circle of which she was an ad
mired member."

FROST IN SAVANNAH
OCCURRING IN APRIL
Record of “Showery Mouth" In Sa
vannah for SS Years.
Frosts have occurred in Savannah as
late as April 5, one occurring on that
date in 1891. This was a killing frost,
though the average date for the last
killing frost is Feb. 26. There is thus
the possibility of the city being visit
ed with frost even after Easter. The
following is the record of April as
made up from the Weather Bureau rec
ords for the last thirty-three years;
The normal temperature of the month
has been 66 degrees. The warmest
month was April 1593 when mercury
made an average of 70 degrees. The
coldest was that of 1901, with an aver
age of 61 degrees. The highest tem
perature ever reached on an April day
wa.3 90 degrees on April 21 and 22, 1896.
The lowest was 33 degrees on April 2,
1001.
Though April Is known in song and
story and proverb as “the showery
month, on the average there has only
been eight days out of the thirty which
were marked by a rainfall of .01 of an
‘ r ‘^ h or n }? re 1 - The average rainfall for
the month is 3.23 inches. The heav
iest rainfall for April was 8.82 inches

.16 of an inch in April, 1892. The
greatest amount of rain In any twen
ty-four consecutive hours was 6.12
Inches on April 16, and 17, 1879.
On the average thirteen of the thir

rendered himself. The negro was

LIKE MOTHER
The Son Followed Happily.
Improper food and drink wears out
the stomach before its time but some
times it only appears to be worn out
and the right food and drink will re
store it.
“When mother reached her 86th year
she was in a very critical condition
from her stomach. The doctors said
it had worn out and they could not
make her anew one.
“She had been a coffee drinker for
many years and thought she could
not get along without her cup of cof
fee; one day a friend persuaded her
to quit coffee nnd try Postum.
“He urged so hard we got some for
her and decided to give it a trial,
she formed a fondness for it but it
was some little time before we could
see her improve much at her age.
After a while however her stomach
began to get stronger and stronger,
and to-day at the age 88, she is far
better than she was at 86 and we
credit Postum Coffee for the improve
ment for we know exactly that did it.
“For years I myself was troubled
with bad headaches, stomach con
stantly out of order, felt bnd, got ir
ritable, cross in the house at my work,
ran down in flesh with a weak,
trembling, nervous spot at the pit of
my stomach. Doctor* could not fix

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY,MARCH 30. 1004.
Of unequalled value as a
household beverage.
Sc
AT THE THEATER
With the Standing Room Only sign
hanging out early Manager Seeskind
presented to Savannah theater goers
last night the musical comedy "The
Wizard of Oz.” A score or more of
pretty girls, with happy comedians and
well-voiced prima donnas, surrounded
by sumptuous stage settings and gor
geously costumed, made the first pres
entation of the piece here one to be
remembered. What might have been
missing in the way of celebrities of the
day in light opera was made up by the
general excellence of the company
which was sent out by Hamlin and
Mitchell.
"The Wizard of Oz" is no more nor
less than a musical extravaganza. In
this it is a great success and gives
ample opportunity to every one in the
cast. The lines are bright and funny,
as such things go in the modern "op
eras" that seek the end that ail do
now, to please and increase the box of
fice handlings.
The electrical effects where the Kan
sas hurricane is shown in full operation
were wonderful. The large number of
people in the cast makes special men
tion of deserving ones limited. Miss
Isabel D’Armond. in a Juvenile part
was unusually pleasing, as was Miss
May Taylor, who possesses a rare so
prano voice. This is Miss Tavlor's
first season in a leading role. She
gives promise of being one of next sea
son’s stars. The straw man was very
effective, but the tin man suffered
much by comparison with some of
those who have carried his lines be
fore.
The piece took three hours and twen
ty-five minutes in presentation, and
many left their seats at thesconclusion
with a sigh. The music is devoid of
any of the sensationally catchy airs
that have marked many opera suc
cesses, but as a whole it is pleasing.
"Sammy.” as sung by Miss Carolyn
Heustis, scored the usual success.
In sending out such a company man
agers are taking a great risk with the
present poor attendance on theaters
generally throughout the South. No
more handsomely set piece has been
seen in Savannah this season, and all
of the costumes were masterpieces of
the costumer's art,
“The Schoolmistress,” a three-act
comedy by Pinero, will be presented
next Monday evening by the Dramatic
Club. The cast is an excellent one,
including some of the best talent of
the club, and the event is sure to at
tract a large audience. Tickets for
the play, which are now on sale at
the Woman’s Exchange, Solomons, and
Theus’, may be exchanged for reserved
seats at the box office Saturday morn
ing. _

AN APPEAL FOR HOME BUYING.
Snvnnniih Prepared to Furnish All
the Shirts Needed Here.
Editor Morning News: Again I de
sire to call the attention of the citizens
of Savannah to the fact that there is
a stranger here from a distant city
taking orders for shirts. Now, of
course, this is not a personal protest
against this visitor, but simply a word
in favor of the home-buying senti
ment. The very best shirts are to be
had in Savannah, and there are sev
eral local merchants who make a spe
cialty of taking measures for special
made-to-order shirts, who show the
most exquisite assortment of patterns
and designs.
Remember, that a dollar sent away
leaves its blight at home. Therefore
give your orders for shirts to the home
fellow, who is prepared to serve you
quickly and satisfactory.
Savannah should be first, last and
always, and the people who carry the
burdens of this community are all
anxious to demonstrate that they are
in a position to serve you with much
satisfaction and for a reasonable con
sideration. Yours very truly,
Sig Gardner,
Secretary Retail Merchants’ Associa
tion.

“THE WORTH OF MAN”
DR. JOHN P. D. JOHN f S THEME
Lecturer Reviewed Man in Different Stages of
Life and Told of Good or Evil He Can Do.
“The Worth of a Man” was the sub
ject of a lecture delivered at the Law
ton Memorial last night by Dr. John
P. D. John. In spite of the announce
ment that the leoturfe had been post
poned a large audience heard the lec
ture.
“Whether a man is to be accounted
great or insignificant depends on
whether we view him as one moving,
or as one moved; as one limiting or as
•one limited,’’ said Dr. John. “A man
limited by the universe is an insignifi
cant being. Limited by space and
duration he is a speck on the face of
the universe. The scope of his horizon
is nothing when measured by the vast
ness of space, and the short period of
his life is insignificant in comparison
with the eternities. Limited by law
he is as helpless as the beast of the
field or as the clod of the valley.
“Physical law asks no questions of
a falling man. Gravitation delivers
him to the earth as surely and as in
evitably as a falling stone. The law
of the land, be it said to our shame,
does ask questions concerning its vio
lators. ’Who is he? How much money
has he? Who is the father? How
much influence has he? Who are his
counsel? How much eloquence have
they? Who is the judge? How much
backbone has he?’ But the Ihw of
God’s world makes no distinctions. The
deadly poison does not ask, is this a
beast or a man. hut man nnd beast
alike go down under its deadly touch.

of the suffering and danger in store for her, robs the expectant mother
of all pleasant anticipations of the coming event, and casU over her a
shadow of gloom which cannot be shaken off. Thousands of women
hate found that the use of Mother’s Friend during pregnancy robs
confinement of all pain and danger, and insures safety to life of mother
and child. This scientific liniment is a god-send to all women at the
time of their most critical trial. Not only does Mother’s Friend
carry women safely through the perils of child-birth, but its use
gently prepares the system for the coming event, prevents "morning

comforts of this period. RFg M fPfe Mfe

FEAST OF PASSOVER
WILL BEGIN TO-NIGHT.
The "Sftder" Will Follow Service at
Synagogue Mickva larael.
With the setting of the sun to-night
the Jewish festival of the Passover
will begin, a festival in commemora
tion of the deliverance of Israel from
the persecutions and slavery of the
Pharaohs. Services will be held at
both the Synagogue B. B. Jacob and at
Mickva Israel.
At Mickva Israel synagogue there
will be a short service at 6:30 o’clock,
conducted by the rabbi. Dr. Georse
Solomon. On Thursday morning at
10:30 o'clock a second service will be
held. At this service the special ser
mon of the festival will be preached
by Rabbi George Solomon. The sub
ject of the sermon will be "The Mes
sage of the Passover Festival.”
There will be no sermon to-nisht,
owing to the fact that immediately fol
lowing the service at the synagogue
the people will return to their homes
and observe the “Sader.” one of the
most beautiful and significant services
of the Jewish people. During this serv
ice, in which the entire family is as
sembled, the story of the deliverance
from the power of the Pharaohs is re
cited, the festival meal spread, and the
evening passed in praise and thanks
giving to God.
In the recital of the exodus from
Egypt there are numerous hymns and
blessings, and these are sung by the
assembled family in accordance with
the old traditional chants. Altogether
the "Sader” has a stirring religious in
fluence and diffuses happiness and good
cheer throughout the Jewish world.
The Passover is the spring festival
of the Jewish nation. The custom of
holding a spring festival dates back to
the remotest antiquity of all nations.
Scripture makes the spring festival of
the Jews the time of Israel’s redemp
tion from physical bondage. The spir
itual significance of the feast is the
message of freedom and the acknowl
edgement of God’s rule on earth, and
the victory of righteousness over the
powers of evil.
DISCHARGED EMPLOYES
CLAIM SALARIES.
Three Suits luMlluted Against
I'lttliters Conipress Company.
Through their attorney. Col. Rob
ert L. Golding, Ben Dallas, W. G.
Hatchett and Evans Hollis, instituted
three suits yesterday against the
Planters Compress Company. The
suits are all brought to recover sal
aries which it is alleged were not paid
when the complainants were dis
charged.
Hatchett alleges that he was em
ployed as manager for one year at a
salary of $125 per month, but that at
the end of eight months he was dis
charged. Harris alleges that he was
employed as cotton sampler, his con
tract being from Sept. 1, 1908, to April
1, 1904, but that he was discharged in
October. He claims that $217 is due
him. Dallis claims $123, having been
discharged before his contract had ex
pired.
SHED AT ROUNDHOUSE
SLIGHTLY DAMAGED.
Fire was discovered late yesterday
afternoon in the shavings shed at the
Central of Georgia Railway round
house.
An alarm was sounded from box
424 and the Northern section of the
fire department responded. No dam
age was done except to the shed, where
the fire originated. The fire Is sup
posed to have been started by a spark
from the machine shops or from a
passing engine.
deed returns upon the doer, whatever
the deed and whoever the doer. No
Iran can perform an unworthy act and
then wave it out of existence. It will
come again to see him. Pay-day comes
as surely as comes the deed. There
are no privileged characters in the
realm of moral laws. Men wink at
the wrong, if the w'rong-doer be a
genius, a millionaire or a potentate,
but winking at the wrong does not
transform it into the right.
“Wrong is wrong, and neither genius,
nor wealth, nor power, can make it
light. Down at noon, is up at mid-,
night, but night and wrong do not
go around with the world. The out
ward visible act may be right here
and wrong yonder, but the Inner, spir
itual, invisible act, right once, is right
forever; wrong once, is wrong forever.
Possible Greatness of Man.
“But the overwhelming greatness of
a man lies in his possibilities. Per
haps there is nc better way to estimate
the possible greatness of a man than
by measuring the actual greatness
achieved by some remarkable man in
his brief career of a few score years,
and multiplying this greatness by in
finity.”
Here the speaker drew a picture of
the extremes in the life of Moses, from
the first moments of his helpless in
fancy to the full reach of his marvel
ous powers as he swept on towards his
glorious destiny.
Dr. John is an impressive speaker
and received the undivided attention of
his audience. He delivered his lecture
In a manner that carried conviction to
the hear** of his hearers. He spoke for
nearly an hour anti a half.

MASTER MADE REPORT
IN THE BARSTOW CASE.
Muster In Chancery Fixed Amounts
Due Different Parties.
With the clerk of the United States
court yesterday Mr. George W. Owens,
the standing master in chancery, filed
his report in the case of John S. Bar
stow and others against Isaiah Becket
and others.
Under a recent decision of Judge
Speer the Barstow heirs were subro
gated to the rights of Mrs. Goerz
against her warrantors, their liability
to her being the amount paid by her
to them, with interest from the day of
payment. The following is the conclu
sion of the master’s report;
To the Postell syndicate, consisting
of Messrs. Postell, Harrison, Dillon,
Starr and Fuchs, the sum of $942.52 is
awarded. To Mrs. Adeli Goerz the
amount due is fixed at $4,182.14 and $2,-
484.54 is the amount held to be due
M tb. Birch. It is further held that
when the complainants have paid Mrs.
Goerz the above amount, they should
have judgment against her warrantors,
Messrs. Beckett, Starr, Dorsett, Glea
son and Stone, in the sum of of $4.-
733.47.
Attached to the report is a detailed
computation of the interest, accounts,
etc. The report goes into detail, and
assigns the reasons why the above
given amounts were awarded.

WILL LEONARD GET
HIS MONEY BACK?
Matter Will Probably Be Determin
ed By Connell To-Night.
If the aldermen are to return to S.
S. Leonard, the $7,600 forfeited for
failure to give bond to put up the New
City Hall, or any portion of the sum
involved, the matter will probubly
come up at the Council meeting to
night.
It is practically certain that Con
tractor Leonard will not get all of his
money back, and it is doubtful If any
of it is returned. Some of the officials
don’t hesitate to say that none of It
should be given back.
The city will certainly hold the
amount of the difference between
Leonard’s bid and the bid accepted
from the Savannah Contracting Com
pany. Some of the officials think he
should be charged for the delay caused
by having to advertise for new bids
also. All additional expense that the
city had to bear by reason of his fail
ure to give bond will be held out of
the $7,500. if any of it is returned.
The money has now gone into the
general fund of the city and could not
be given back, except by special reso
lution of Council. If the matter is not
taken up to-night, the probabilities are
that the entire amount will be held by
the city. It seems likely that this will
be the outcome.
