WINES A CENTURY OLD.
savannah Believed to Have the OLD
est Wines In America.

est wines IN AfnefiCa'
From the Savannah News.
Savannah is believed to have the
oldest wine in America. A we'll
known Savannahian, who is connois-
seur in wines, said a few days ago
that he has a lot of Madeira OF the
vintage of 1S3S-over half a century
old.
There are wines i'm Savannah,
though. much older than that. Some
of the oldest families here have Ma
deira nearly a century old. One gen.
tlemap has several lots of the famous
All Saints, Madeira, imported in 1871
and 1893, the year of the great fire IN
Savannah. Two pipes were import
ed that year, one Ior
the great grandfather of the
late William Gibbons, and one
for the father of Nat Hayward,
prominent South Carolina planter.
The night of the fire one pipe was left
under the bluff by mistake and the
other was burned up on the Bay. Inc
pipe under the bluff was divided be-
tween Gibbons and Hayward as the
only fair way OF settling their loss:
The gentleman, who now has several
lots of the wine, bought it from Glib
bons' and Heyward's descendants,
eighty years after its division.
Then there is the famous Hunter
wine. imported about the same time.
Some of it is still in the hands of
friends of the family. The late Mr..
DeRenne, who inherited some of this
wine, often offered 800 bottle for it.
One gentleman has over twenty lots
imported from the old Madeira house
of Newton Gordon from 1902 to 1880.
Savannah was large wine importing
port century ago. The following Is
fac smile of an old bill of lading for
an old shipment of wine in 1850. the
completion of a single order for oOO
pipes or 900 hogsheads:

Wonders of the Dead Sea.
II the Missionary Herald.

From the Missionary Herald,
One of the most interesting lakes or
inland seas in the world is the Dead
Sea, which has no visible outlet. 1t
is not mere fancy that has clothed the
Dead Sea in gloom. The desOlate
shores, with scarcely a green thing in
sight, and scattered over with black
stones and ragged driftwOOd, form
fitting frame for the dark, sluggish
waters, covered with perpetual mist,
and breaking in slow, heavy, sepul-
chral-tOned waves upon the beach. 1t
seems as if the smoke of the wicked
cities was yet ascending ND to heaven,
and as if the moan Of their fearful sOr-
row would never leave that GOLDSMITH
ten valley.
1t is a strange thing to see those
waves, not dancing along and
sparkling in the sun as other waves
do, but moving with measured melan-
chOly, and sending to the ear, as they
break languidly upon the rock, only
doleful sounds. This is, no dOub5,
owing to the great heaviness OF the
water, fact well known, and which
we amply verified in the usual way,
for, on attempting to swim, we went
floating about like empty casks. This
experiment was more satisfactory in
its progress than in its results, which
were very unctuOus skin and most
pestiferous singing of every nerve. as
if we had been beaten with nettles.
Nor was the water we took into our
mouth whit less vile than the most
nauseous drugs of the aDothecary.
That fish cannot live in rhis strong
solution of bitumen, and sal5 is too OBJ
vious to need proof; but to say that
birds can not fly over il and live is one
of the exaggerations Of travellers, who,
perhaps, were not like ourselves, so
fortunate as to see flock of ducks re-
posing on the water in apparently
good health. And yet this was all
the life we did see. The whole valley
was one seething cauldron. under
more than a tropical sun. God-for-
saken and manfOrsaken, no green
thing grows within it, and it remains
to this day as stiking monument of
Gods fearful judgments, as when the
fire from heaven devOured the once
mighty cities Of the plain.

Rev. T.. Hez Swem Lectures on Loc
Evils.

Rev. r. Hez Swem Lectures on Local
Evils.
Notwithstanding the intense heat of
last evening some two or three hundred
people assembled in the Second Baptist
Church, corner Virginia avenue and
Fourth street southeast, TO hear the pas
tor, Rev. j.. Hez Sven, deliver the first
of series of sermons on Washington
wlckedness. The sermon purported to
be q pen picture of Washington unveiled.
His text was HE that is not with me
is against me- The speaker said that
few of the rich people of Washington
were leading upright lives and doing
good The majority were accumulating
money and working for selfish ends The
majority of the poor We're, he said, lead
ing lives for Satan. The newspapers are
filled with accounts ofscandals, divorces,
brothels, murders, robberies and gam
bling. The theatres were doing nothing
for the good of man. There are those,
lie said in low alleys and on back Streets
where glasses clink, and men go in at
back doors, and lewd women sit with
veiled faces far back IN the recesses of
boxes. The houses Of prostitution are
situated on every street in the city and
nre leading to destruction not only young
men, but fathers and husbands.
There was much in the sermon that
was sensational, Il little that was true,
more that was overdrawn and a great
deal that those who are best acquainted
would be unwilling to believe.

Saturday Night Murder.

On Saturday night Fred. Barber, col
ored, who is alleged to have murdered
Agnes Watson, colored, by pushing her
in the Georgetown Canal, was arrested
last night in the house of Armistead
Jackson, at the southeast corner OF Ninth
and i streets southwest, by Officers San
ford and Halton.
Coroner Patterson yesterday held an
inquest over the body of the drowned
woman, and after several witnesses had
been examined, the jury rendered YER
dict to the effect that the woman, Agnes
Watson, had been thrown in the canal
by Barber THERE'S, however, diversity
OF opinion in the minds of many. 1t is
claimed by the friends of Barber that the
woman was drunk and accidentally fell
in the canal. Her body was removed
yesterday from the Georgetown Station
House to the home of her sister, on
Twenty.sixth street, from where it will be
buried TODAY.

kLONUNWu-
FOR
PARTICULAR
PEOPLE,.
PEOPLE,.

A London tailor's dictum was that
he could take meal sack and make
suit Of clothes worthy of gentle
mans wearing If the fit was right.
Gentlemen have fancies in dressing.
One goes for something snowy, an
other expressly calls for special
weave, and so on. But the particular
points Of a suit are fit and style. Ma
terial and making may be ever so
good, but condemnation will be swift
if there be failure in ht and style.
In these two points our stock Of suits
for business and everyday wear full
fills the highest ideals of dress; with
due attention given to propriety Of
fabrics and perfectness of making,
and, above all, with the wit Of the
clothier-his Misunderstanding at
its brightest, in the tone of fashion
reigning in them, impalpably, dis
tinctly stamping them as stylish and
faultless in fit. We extol these less
highly than a gentleman would in ex-
amining them. They are ready
made, and at prices OF ready-made.
You'll be likely to think them above
the average Of custom work when you
see them.

Mrs. Tasker's report showed that in the
District there are over 300 members of the
organization, all working IN various lines.
One is called the "Anti-Gossip Ten," and
its members are fined one cent every
time they gossip. The money thus acou-
mulated is spent in charity.
