OVER AT HOT SPRINGS.
Brilliant Performance Ofan ANUS
ing Farce.

Special Correspondence to The Citizen.
Hot SPRINGS, N. c., August Is.
Last night the much talked OF dramatic
entertainment at the Mountain Park no.
tel was given in the large ball room, in a
manner which might have surprised Mr..
w. d. Howells, the author of that de,
lighttul farce known throughout the
length and breadth of the land as "The
Mouse Trap" This well written, one,
act farce depicts the mortal terror OF
half dozen ladies who meet socially in
the drawing room of one of their "set, u
over the supposed presence of mouse,
gentleman caller, having, i'll a spirit OF
fun, convinced the hostess, his fancee,
that there was a mouse i'll the room SIM
ply to test the physical courage of wo.
men, as a means of arriving at the conclu-
sion of an argument then taking place be,
tween them, that women are Drawer than
men. The ruse of this supposed presence OF
mouse succeeded only too well. The lady
callers, in their anxiety to escape the
supposed mouse jump upon tables and
chairs. The maid is overcome in the dis
charge of her duties, mounts a chair,
while the charming hostess loses her
courage completely and stoutly refuses
to leave the safe retreat of a most COM
Portable chair. Finally herguests escape
from the room alive amid an uproar, and
such terrific series of feminine shrieks
as might have scared lion. The e,gcntlc,
man caller lahors energctically, entreat.
ing his betrothed to leave her perch on
the chair. At last, after much amusing
dialogue between the wrought-up couple
NJ &c
her young man, Mr.. Willis Campbell, to
carry her out Of the iated room, as the
curtain falls.
The role of Mrs. Somcrs was charm,
ingly impcrsonated by by Miss Shope, OF
New York, one of the most brilliant and
handsome young ladies in the Empire
State. Miss Bishop, of Washington, d,
c., as Mrs. Agnes Roberts, gave a tai
tented representation as the iaStidiOuS
sister Of MIR. Campbell-the author of all
the troubles Of these dear ladies'. Jane,
the maid, was simply perfect i'll the hands
of Miss Labouissc. Mrs. Barrows, as
Mrs. Curwen, a caller. Miss Conner,
as Mrs. Miller, and Miss Rumbough, as
Mrs. Bcuris, were simply inimitablc.
The part of Mr.. Willis Campbell was
taken by Mr.. Beach, of Massachusetts,.
A recitation by Miss Traynor won the
hearty applause of the audience. An cx-
ccllcnt musical programme by the orchcs-
ira, and dancing, concluded one OF
the happicst evenings ever passed
at the Mountain Park. Much credit is
due to Miss Dora Jones, of Greensboro,
N. c., for her assidOus efforts i'll arrang-
ing the play, drilling the company and
for the general oversight of the details OF
the comedy.
Lieutenant tGovernorIIolt and wife were
among the arrivals on Saturday evening.
A distinguished party of New Yorkerssis
expected during the week.

Attempt at Train wreckInx.

VINcENNEs, Ind, August ia most
atrocious attempt at train wrecking is
reported on the Northeastern and Rich
mond Railroad, about four miles out OF
Ogden. Some miscrcant had placed al lot
OF rails on the track with the intention
of wrecliing the first train that came
along, but several persons of the town OF
Ogden borrowed hand car to go to FL.
mira on visit, and were going over the
railroad at terrible rate when the car
struck the obstruction, knocking the
light structure into the air and throwing
the passengers in every direction. The
attempted train wrecking was thus
avertcd. They were all more or less i'll
iured.

AN IMPRESSIVE SERVICE.
Dedication of TrInity-EpiscOpa
Church Sunday.

Church sunday.
This building, one of the finest church
edifices in the city, has been finished and
used for a number of years. A debt, con-
nectcd with it's construction, hung over
it, which was not fully extinguished un-
til recently. Until so extinguished, it
could not be solemnly dedicated to its
sacred uses. On Sunday last, being at
length from all encumbrance, advan age
was taken of the presence here of Bishop
Lyman on his annual visitation to per-
form the formal act of dedication. The
occasion was an unusual and very in
teresting one. and the remarkably bright
and pleasant day attracted an unusual
throng to witness the ceremonial; which
attended by little of show or pomp, was
one of solemn dignity and impressive rit-
ual. Every pew was filed, and the aisles
were filled by those for whom seats were
provided and all waited anxiously for
the opening of the ceremony.
According to the order of the Episco-
pal church in the United States, the
Bishop was received at the entrance of
the church by church wardens the and YES
trymen of Trinity, and accompanied by
them and the clergy present proceeded up
the aisle, repeating alternately the oath
psalm. The Bishop then took his seat
within the chancel rail accompanied by
the clergy, and when so seated, Mr..
Laurence Pulliam senior warden, read
and presented the formal instruments of
donation of the church building to the
sole uses to the service of Almighty Cod
through the head of the diocese. The
Bishop then, with fine voice and impress
Sive manner, received the donation and
then offered up prayer, followed by the
prescribed invocations for the full and
proper uses OF the donation.
The Bishop then resumed his chair, and
the Rev. DR.. Buxton, rector of the church,
read the service of conservation.
Then the morning sentence of the day
were opened, conducted by the Rev.
Theodore Porter, of Charleston, S. c.,
with the psalms and lessons especially
appointed for the occasion. Bishop Ly-
man then delivered most imprcssively a
sermon, one chief point i'll which was to
impress upon his hearers the sacred char
acter of the edifce now solemny and ex-
clusively dedicated to religious uses from
which, in the language of the donation,
is to be excluded all uses unhallowed,
worldly and unholy.
After the sermon the communion ser
vices were celebrated.
The spectacle was altogether a solemn
and imposing one, simple yet lastingly
impressive. With the Bishop, there were
present the Rev. DR.. Buxton, Rector of the
church, the Rev. DR.. Buel, the Rev. Mr..
Hanckel, of Abbevillc, S. c., and the Rev.
Mr.. Theodore Porter, of Charleston,
S. c.
At s o'clock p. m. the church was again
filled to witness the administration of
the interesting rite of Confirmation,
which was administered to class of six.

DEER PARK, August 19.-Prcsident Har-
rison has somewhat changed the plan of
his trip West, intending to stop in Gin
cinnati before, instead of after his visit
to indianapolis. A subcommittee of the
Cincinnati chamber of commerce waited
upon the President this morning, and he
promised to attend a reception to be
given Wednesday at 1890 p. m, in the
new chamber of commerce building, and
to pay a short call at the Builders EN-
change. President Harrison will be at the
Gibson house i'll the morning and receive

dent will leave here Tuesday night, and

tary Halford will accompany him. The

dent consisted of Theo. Cook, Jas. X.
Brown, o. L. Peervine, L. X. Kick, B. H.
Cox, and !. M. Balier. They are highly
elated at the success Of their mission.
The President spent Sunday quietly.
In the morning he went to the little
chapel of the hotel with ex-senator Davis,
and listened to a sermon based on the
parable of the fig tree. The minister
spoke of the worthlcssness of the lives of
those whose aims are selfish, and how
they became unhappy, forgotten and
friendless, while those who live for
humanity never lose interest in life.
Private Secretary Halford's daughter
sang a solo, the Better Land" during
service. The Presidents old law partner,
Attorney General Miller, and Lawyer
Elan, met him after service. After
dinner the President took mile walk in
the mountains, enjoying the scenery.

about six hundred negroes gathered here
Saturday, the purpose being to Organize
a black mans republican party. Negroes
came from all parts of this state and
South Carolina. As no suitable place
could be secured in town the crowd re-
paired to a grove about one mile i'll the
country, and after stands had been ar
ranged, John Wilson, colored police
man, of Charlotte, called the convention
to order. Speeches were first i'll order,
and soon blood could be seen in the ma
iority of the negroes eyes. The speakers
denounced President Harrison's appoint,
ments in the South generally, and espec-
tally in this State. The speakers charged
that Harrison's policy was to give all
good places to the white men and the
colored brethren had to play second fid,
die to everything.
Eyes, but we won't do it, echoed a
hoarse negro voice through the grove, at
which iuncture tremendous applause

Craps Culture In Georgia.

Editor Morning NetCS: have been OBJ
tainiog information relative to grape cul-
ture in Georgia, which was requested by
New York parties. As it is not generally
known what can be done in the way of
vineyards, or, in fact, that such place can
be found in this section of the state, take
this liberty of inclosing you the infor-
nation received from the superintendent of
the Moselle vineyard at Poulan:
This vineyard was started BY Mr.. Nc
Phaul as an experiment, and he has demon
strated that the same varieties can be pro-
duced in Georgia as in other sections, AMI
many weeks in advance of them, to the ad-
vantage of the Georgia vineyard.
The following additions to the Poulan
vineyards are in contemplation for the COM
ing season:
Five to acres to the Moselle vineyard.
making 30 acres planted; 5 acres by Owsley
a. Lester of Poulan; 5 acres by D. S. Craw-
ford of Youngstown, o.. IA acres by Rev.
j. T. Irwin of Belle Valley, Pa. ; 5 acres by
Conoly q Wilson of Poulan; acres by
Enterprise Fruit Company Of Youngstown,
o.; 10 acres by Henry Pope of Poulan.
This is in addition to S acres planted last sea
son, 5 acres by DR.. J. F. Wilson of Pontan
In addition to this l am told there are
other parties looking at the points upon the
Brunswick and Western railroad with G
view Of starting vineyards the coming sea.
son.
The following is what Supt. Wilson says,
The Moselle vineyard was started about
1884 at Poulan, Ga, on the Brunswick and
Western railroad, LAT miles west of Bruins
wick, and about the center of Worth
county. 1t embraces about Is, 900 vines
about third of which bore the past season
upwards of 1000 pounds of grapes, which
nettei the proprietor little over $4,000, or
upward of $500 per acre for the vines in
bearing, although the expense of the entire
vineyard was deducted from the proceeds
| of the ten acres in bearing.
The land is gray sandy loan, with vel
low clay subsoil, is easily cultivated, and
was worth about 81 25 acre when the vine
yard was started.
About twenty varieties of standard
grapes are grown, embracing Moore's Early
Ives, Delaware, Concord, Black Eagle
Martha, Muxatowi, Lady Niagara, Ionia,
Agawam, Salem, Isabella Nortons, etc. all
of which do well, bear abundantly and very
free from disease.
Grapes ripen at the Moselle from june
20 to September.
Wine was made this year to the extent
of 1850 gallons-pure juice-which finds
ready sale at 81 so per gallon.
The first rlpenlng was sold near home al
81 90 per 10-pound basket. No money wa
lost except on a consignment to Chicago
which arrived in bad condition, owing to
wet weather, the loss-one cent-was sus
tanned by the commission house selling the
consignment.

to be exhausted.
After having found out what kind of a
lereliizer Is needed BY soil, the next thing
10 tank of, is how bsst to apply it All the
potash compounds usually applied as fer
tiIizers are soluble in water, as ara also
many of the compounds containing nitro
gen and phosphorus. This solubility insures
thorough admixture with the soil. and a
consequent easier means of being reached
oy the roots Of plants. 1t is easy to see
That mere mechanical mixture of in
soluble particles, no matter how finely
ground, must be far inferior to the permea-
tion accomplished by solution; hence,
other things being equal, the soluble form
OF fertilizer is to be desired as being the
most readily available to the plants. 1t might
be thought, however, that in putting these
materials on the land in a soluble form they
would wash out and be lost the first heavy
RAIN that came, and, indeed, such is almost
always the case with some of the nitrogen
compounds applied as fertilizers.
