THE "srABAT MATER
The Concert at the Catholic Cathedral
Last Night.

ROssin's masterpiece, the ''Stabat
Mater" was produced at the Cathedral
last night before an audience of nearly
l,O00people The production of the famous
work was a very creditable success. AL
though too difficult for amateurs to at
tempt with an assurance of being able to
produce it without the gravest defects,
the production was creditable 10 the direc-
tor and the eminent talent from abroad by
which he was assisted. The entire
composition, with the exception of the
last chorus, ''In Sempiterna Amen"
which is seldom attempted even by the
ablest musicians much less by amateurs,
was sung. The "Stabat Mater" was pre-
ceded by a short preliminary concert, in
which lie Prevoste's "KyrIe Eleison" was
sung by Mrs. Riley and the chorus, and
Millard's go Salutaris" by Mr.. Meteor
mack. Prof. Leo W. Mehrtens, under
whose direction the concert was given.
played an organ solO--"HOme, Sweet
Home"-wth concert variation by Buck.
The opening quartette Of the 'Stabat
Mater" was sung by Miss O'Brien, Miss
Nolan, DR.. Goodrich Of Augusta, and Mr..
King. The "CuJus Amman" one OF the
most difficult parts of the entire compost
ton, was sung by Mr.. Mccormack Of
MI. MtAOfIuhck mas "a voice
of great power and richness, and his sing
ing was one Of the most attractive features
Of the concert. The duet "Qus est
Homo" was sung by Mrs. lyman and Mrs.
Riley, the "Pro Peccatls" bv
Mr.. King, of st. Johns Church
choir, and the Ella Mater reci-
tative without accompaniment
by Mr.. King and the chorus. The "Sancta
Mater quartette was sung by Mrs. Dyk-
man, of Atlanta, Mr.. Mccormack. Of
Charleston, and Mrs. Riley and Mr.. King.
Mrs. lyman sang the cavatina Fac ut
Portem." This was followed by the "ln-
hammatus," in which Mrs. Dykman sang
the solo. Her rendering of the difficult
passage, in which so many have failed,
was magnificent effort. The quar-
tette "Quando Corpus" by Mrs. Riley,
Miss Nolan, Mr. Vogel and
Mr.. King was fairly rendered. The
concert closed with the "GlOria" substi-
tuted for the ''Finale in Sempiterna" OF
the "Sta0at Mater" IN which the instru-
mentatiOn was fully developed. The or
chestra, with Prof. Atkinson at the organ,
was prominent feature of the concert,
and assisted where the vOcalism alone
would have signally failed. Taken as a
whole, it is doubtful whether the "Stabat
Mater" could have been given more sue
cessfully under the circumstances. The
absence of many of the leading voices of
this city was noticeable. Although the
chorus was not by any means what il
should have been to render the famous
work, it was well drilled and sang ef-

Inwar SIM

Clothing has been sold this spring by
the "FdmOuS" lower than ever before, for
the reason that times were hard, and we
came to the conclusion, considering the
times, that to make any money on this
seasons stock was out OF the question
and our low prices were the wonder of our
competitors. Now comes the clearing
time. me seasons production must be
sold, profit or no profit. We make it a
point not TO carry any goods over. The
goods are ours and paid for. aud if we
choose to sell them for one-half their value
it is nObody's business-tO sdUe money IN
making gOUr purchases is all yOU care for.
There is a great deal said and advertised,
but the German says, "DaS pdpier iSt

will never find the "Fdm0us" advertise
anything but what we do. With all the
blowing done you will find that the SID

for $40 as others will charge you $l5 for.

From Monday, June l, we shall offer IN
every department of our store various
lines of goods, at a sweeping reduction,
thus giving to the ladies Of Savannah and
vicinity an opportunity for GENUINE
BARGAINS seldom presented. Upon in
spection you will find in many instances
the goods offered are about half what they
are worth, and they are all fresh, desir-
able goods-no old stock. In making pub
lie announcement of this great and all
important transaction it Will be necessary
to dwell briefly on certain facts, so that
true and correct conception Of the actual
particulars of this sale may be conveyed
to the public mind. First and foremost
we would impress on our patrons the very
important fact that in q few months we
Will vacate our present store and occupy
the spacious building now in course Of
construction on corner BrOughtOn and
Bull streets. When finished IL will be by
far the largest retail store in the State,
and will compare in size and style of ar
chitecture with any in the entire South
We are OVer-stocked, and our New York
buyers advise us to close out our stock of
goods no matter at what price, as the
enormous contracts which they arc now
making with manufacturers in the North
and East are much lower than what pres
ent stock was bought. Therefore we are
compelled at once TO close out the balance
of our stock, in most instances, without
one cent of profit to ourselves, counting
ourselves sufficiently repaid by the OPP
portunity afforded us to close our entire
stock SO that we will be able To move into
our new building with an entirely new
line of goods. 1t also enables the hOu Sc
of A. r. AltmaYer IL Co. TO achieve that
which all heretofore have been pOwerless
to accomplish, namely: TO offer prime
new stock of goods which in large ma
jority OF instances fall far short of cover
ing their cost of production, and are
throughout the most thorough and posi-
tive values ever before offered to the people
of Savannah and vicinity.
We will not name prices as prices give
no definite idea of value, but ask you if
you have anything in our many depart
ments TO purchase, or if you are likely to
need anything in the near future it will
repay you to visit us, even If YOU are
compelled to make long journey, as we
propose to sell most OF our goods without
one cent of profit, state OF things which
we think never before existed in this city.
A public benefit remains for the house Of
A. II. Altmayer q Go. to accomplish,
which they submit with all their priyi-
leges and advantages to their num-
berless kind and appreciative patrons.

HOW TO KERP HEALTHY.
Some Valuable Recommendations in
Case of Disease.

Some valuable Recommendation in
Case of Disease.
A valuable paper has Just been issued
on Distinction and Dlsintectants-the
result of resolution adopted at the st.
Louis meeting of the American Public
Health Association appointing commit
tee to take into consideration the com.
parative value of the various disinfect-
ants in use. DR.. Sternberg, Surgeon
United States army, on detached service
at the Johns Hopkins University, was ap-
pointed Chairman, and for the past six
months has been at work. The result is
the publication now given to the comlnu-
nifty for their guidance.
Recent researches, says the paper in
question, have demonstrated that many
of the agents which have been found use
full as deOdOrizers, or as antiseptics to
avert putretactiVe decomposition, are
entirely without value for the destruction
of disease germs. For instance, copperas
IS a most valuable antiseptic, but is not
DESTROYER of disease germs. For the vault
and foul drains, however, cOpperas is
most useful, but for the disease germs OF
the sick chamber disinfectants are neoes-
sary. Chloride of lime is recommended,
from the rapidity Of its action, as being
entitled to the first place. The four fOl=
lowing standard solutions are also recon-
mended:
Standard Solution No. 1.-DissOlve
chloride of lime OF the best quality in soft
water in the proportion of four ounces TO
the gallon. Use pint of above for disin-
lection of each discharge in cholera,
typhoid fever, etc. Leave for ten minutes
before throwing into the closet.
Standard Solution No. 2.-DissOlve cor
Toslve sublimate and permanganate of
potash in soft water in the proportion of
This is equally effective as No. /, but
requires little longer time.
Standard Solution No. 3.-TO one part
Of Labarraque's solution (liquor sodae
chlOrnatae) add five parts Of soft water.
Use as Standard solution MOI.
Dissolve corrosive sublImate in water
in the proportion of four ounces to the
gallon, aud add one drachm Of per-
manganate Of potash to each gallon to
give color to the solution. One ounce Of
No. TO the gallon of water will make a
suitable solution for the disinfectiOn of
clOthing-tO be kept In solution two hours
at least before sent TO wash; use wooden
or earthenware vessels as receptacles.
Let it be remembered that boiling for half
an hour in the ordinary operations of the

In the sick room no disinfectant can

To disinfect an experimentation Occupa-
ton, the windows and doors should be

less than three pounds OF sulphur for each

A gentleman who signed his name j..
Aug. johnson on the screYen House
register called at the Office of Major
G. Williams, on Wednesday, with a
letter Of Introduction. Dir. johnson
stated that he mad purchased the
steamers Florida, City of Bridgeton and
st. Nicholas, of the Florida Railway and
Navigation Company, for which Mr.. VIII
liams acts as agent. Mr.. Johnson's
credentials were all right, and he was
given formal possession. The boats have
been transferred, but the price paid was
not learned.
Mr.. johnson is n Wall street man.
Mai. Williams stated that he has received
no intlmation of what is to be done with
the steamers, nor does he know any
thing whatever of Mr.. Johnson or his
plans. None Of the three is new. The
Citv ~ BridgetCn WAS sold to the Georgia
and Florida Inland Steamboat Company
eight or nine years ago, and it has been
some time since the others were launched.
One rumor is that they are to be placed on
a new line which is to be started on the
st. Johns river. Another report is
that MIR. johnson made the
purchase for Mr.. Cutting, who is one Of
the largest stockholders Of the Florida
Railway and Navigation Company. In
this connection it is denied that a new
company is TO he organized, but that the
transfer is merely from one to another de-
partment of the Florida Railway and
Navigation Company.

E1ends Pursuing the Goddess or Sleep.
The poetic imagery of Grecian mythol-
ogy applied to this practical age, would
picture the air filed with the grinning
tiends of care, anxiety, worry, pride, am
bition, and myriads more, persistently
chasing the gentle goddess of sleep from
her holy vocation of woOing weary eye
lids to the soft arms Of unconscious re-
pose, aud maliciously frustrating all her
efforts by operating the Pandemonium Of
Insomnia through shattered nerves and
wrecked physical powers. Then the sweet
goddess would wave her wand aud sum

hostile furies, by furnishing all under its
