A Rip Van Wrinkle Sensation.

Georgia has genuine Rip Van
Winkle sensation. In the early
settlement of Cobb county, miners
delved for hidden treasures more
than they do now. Among those
engaged in this business was q
young man named r. W Wilson.
In 1913, In q fit of the blues, he
bid his pretty young wife and child
goodbye and started for Califor-
MA. Last week q stranger, 65
years old, stopped at Aeworth and
registered ar the Litchfeld House
as K. W. Wilson. He got on n
horse and rode out into his old
settlement, hoping to find some
familiar face, and as he passed
Capt. j. b. O'Neill's farm, he saw
young man picking cotton, and
inquired his name, and was told,
Wilson" Where is your
father?' "He went to California
% years ago" The tears came
rushing into the old mans eyes,
and he made known that he was
his father. Young Wilson was
greatly affected by this declaration,
and the old man went to his sons
house and was introduced to his
daughter-in-law and grandchil-
dren. He finally struck it rich
and is now a millionaire, He is
on his way to New Orleans as q
commissioner to the Worlds Fair
having been appointed by the
Governor of California to repre-.
sent that State. In December he
will return andtak his son and
family to his California home.

In striking contrast with the average
American wedding, where the contr'ae' :

man society in this city, conducted IN
truly Teutonic fashion. The hymeneal
festivities hogan early in the eve
niD0 and continued undated until
davbreak this morning. Mr.. George
linn was the happy father OF the bride,
and Mr.. Peter Niebel the groom, and a
most Of friends were the guests. At :
O'Clock, at the residence OF the father,
No. 10 Elm Place. in the presence OF a
large company, Miss Josie Zipp was
united in marriage to Mr.. Peter Niebel,
the ceremony being performed according
to the German custom and in the German
language. BY the Rev. DIR. Henniken. pas
tor Of the Henry Street Lutheran Cnurch'
The ceremony was brief but impressive.
Mr. Zipp gave his daughter away the
parties Joining hands and the groom seal

The bride was handsomely dressed IN ma
room silk with lace trimmings diamond
breastpin and diamond ring and diamond

conclusion Of the ceremony, the company
walked in couples from the house TO the
casino adjoining and sat down at the ban
queting tables in the parlOrs up stairs. In
the centre Of the room was long table
laden with wedding presents and flowers.
The collation. having been served, Nj.
Louis Froehlich. as chief orator Of the
evening. read an original poem IN his ma
tive language dedicated 10 the bride.
Madame Pfelzel, Of New York, recited a
poem.
At midnight the party assembled in the
concert hall. and dancing and merry
making began. 1t had not proceeded long
when the guests were made aware that
the season had suddenly changed, and
that they were in the midst OF a driving
snow storm. Large white nakes We're
mysteriOusly falling from above, and the
floor was soon covered with snowy mat
ting. In the distance was heard the
merry ring Of approaching sleigh bells.
The dancers stopped in amaZement, and
the bride, clinging 10 her husband, anX-
iOusly awaited an explanation OF the
brilliant transformation scene. As II by
magic. the folding doors rolled back and
a fiery black steed, richly caparisoned.
gall0ped into the hall, drawing an elegant
Albany cutter.
The turnout driven by SIR. Ferdinand
Linn made the circuit Of the room several
times. amid the TOusing cheers OF the
quests. Mr.. and Mrs. Niebel were in
yited to a seat in the sleigh, which, IN
few appropriate words, was presented to
them on behalf Of the Messys. Linn, Of
this city. A short wedding ride was taken,
followed BY a shower Of imaginary snow
balls. The affair was decidedly unique
and novel. and was a genuine surprise to
all save Mr.. Zipp and the donors Of the
gift. The occasion called forth Mr..
FrOehlich, who congratulated the newly
made couple upon having father who
could furnish them with a sleigh ride in
the hot months of summer.

Editor Morning Nelrs: In Saturdays
MORNING News l noticed an article
headed as above and signed Patriarch
which, regret TO say, reflects consider
ably on our volunteer firemen. ''Self-
praise is poor recommendation" and l do
not speak for myself when say our fire.
men are worthy of the highest respect
and esteem for their very valuable ser
vices, and, as fireman and a taxpayer,
must say regret to see these men &C
cused of any neglect of their self-impOsed
duties.
Patriarch" claims that ''fOr Sometime
past a small number of firemen report for
duty This 1 most positively contradict,
as know our tiremen are as active now
as they have been for the past eight years.
l am prepared from the roll books OF the
Waiver Fire Company to prove that at
any alarm, morning, noon or night, this
company will muster into service at least
fifteen working firemen. Never to my
knowledge (Of seven years eXperience)
have / seen an apparatus delayed from
lack Of tiremen, and i cannot understand
how patriarch can substantiate the
words placed in the public print. ''Patri-
ARCH further saws ''this was notably the
case at the fire in Yamacraw last October"
This again / must contradict, and | am
prepared to prove that when the Waiver
apparatus reached the fire { I believe sew
eraI minutes before the general alarm
was sounded they had more members
than they had use for. The cause Of the
Yamacraw fire is well known TO our citi-
zens. but for the benefit Of Patriarch
and .sby way Of no HARM" l viii state
that the trouble arose from the miserably
poor equipment Of our department, which
necessitated the borrowing OF hose from
the Central Railroad Company TO protect
the city property. If our Patriarch"
was as familiar with these circumstances
as the city authorities were at that time
il would hardly be necessary TO refresh
his memory.
But before I close l would request our
friend, the Patriarch" to handle facts
when he again wishes 10 further the views
Of our worthy Chief regarding an increase
Of paid members. \ FIREMAN.

How PerishabIe Food Can be Indefi-

How PerishabIe Food Can be Indefi-
niteIy Preserved.
A reporter hearing that some State
street gentlemen were preparing the in
PRODUCTION Of a method of preserving
meats, fowls, eggs, vegetables, ETC., says
the Hartford Times, went on a tour Of
investigation, recently, and was shown
scheme which must prove Of general use.
The reporter was shown a tank Of liquid
preparation, by immersion in which any
Derishable article Of food, for the whole
some keeping Of which ice has heretofore
been necessary, can be kept in its natu-
raj state for an indefinite time. There
were many articles shown which had
been treated with this preparation to
illustrate its preservative qualities.
A roast Of mutton. cut two weeks ago
and immersed in this liquid, had all of its
original appearance and was as solid and
fresh as when cut. 1t was submitted TO
a well known steward yesterday and pro-
nOunced sweet and wholesome. A Gu
cUmber twenty-eight days old was as
hard and solid as if picked that afternoon.
a peach, cut in two, and exposed IN that
condition for a week, showed no indica-
ton OF shrinkage. Sweet potatoes a year
old were as brittle as newly picked ones.
Tomatoes green, half ripe and full ripe,
apples of last season, oranges, lemons,
and various other specimens were shown
to demonstrate the effects OF the preserya-
tive. The decomposing element of animal
life is blood. BY the use of this preparation
the air is excluded and the life OF the arti-
cles treated is preserved. 1t is a CON-
pound of articles that are in daily use
upon the family table and is pronounced
purely vegetable in its nature and an ex-
cellent aid to digestion. The reporter
sampled some of it and found it of agree
able taste. The inventor, Prof. Gilbert F.
Holland, was present, and showed testi-
mOn:als of Boston meat and produce deal
ers who have used the pTeservative with
complete success. The effect is instanta-
neOus upon all articles treated and per-
isbable articles Of food can be preserved
handler, cheaper and for longer period
than they can by ice. Meat can be kept
for several months and it can be safely
transported without ice, the preparation
being particularly adapted for heavy beef,
such as sides and quarters.
