whom he met. He ate heartily at supper
and retired apparently IN perfect health.
In few hours he was taken very sick.
lie grew worse gradually, and in
few hours he was unc nscious
and remained so until his death.
Death resulted from paralysis. About
year ago the deceased while in New York
suffered paralytic shock, and since then
his health has been impaired. During his
recent trip, however, he seemed to be
buoyed up and in better health than he had
been for some time.
Mr.. Germaine was 81 years of age. He
leaves wife. He was born In Dublin, Ire
land, Feb. 26, 1928. and he came over
TO America, landing in Charleston in 1S47.
When the war came on he enlisted in the
Palmetto Guards company, and remained
with the company during the conflict. He
came to Savannah after the close of the war
and was employed by Henry Lathrop e.
Co. at Whitaker and Congress streets, where
he remained until the dissolution of the firm,
when he connected himself with |. Dasher
q 20. and remained with them a couple
of years and then entered into business of
his own. He began business at No. 1872
Broughton street, where he has since re-
manned. He has sister and brother in
Ireland. The nephew of the brother, a
1Oyear-old lad, has been in Savannah with
Mr.. Germaine since February. Mr. Ger
maine was twice married. His second wife
survives him. The funeral will take place
this afternoon at $3.50 O'Clock, from the Ca

TO STAND AS 1T IS.
COTTON MEN NOT READY TO SELL
BY NET wEIGaT YET.

The Cotton Exchange Refuse TO Adopt
the Resolution of the New Orleans
Convention Cotton BsRRing Not
Yet Sufficiently Tested TO Warrant
Change-The Resolutions Adopted.
The cotton exchange at its meeting yes
terday refused to adopt the resolution of
the New Orleans tare convention, as the
MORNING NEWS predicted it would
There was large attendance Of cotton
factors, exporters and shippers, and there
was no dissenting opinion on the position
taken that it would be unwise for this
market to be governed by the resolution of
the New Orleans convention providing for
selling cotton by net weight on and after
today.
There was very little discussion Of the
subject, and the following preambles and
resolution were unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, Under the rules and customs regu-
lating the tare of cotton 10 Europe, any change
al present | the custom of trading cotton gross
Tor net, as now existing in the United States,
would involve great Inconvenience to the trade,
and Ia many cases where cotton has been con-
tracted for for future delivery. loss to the buy
ers, and
WHEREAS, The cotton bagginR used now as
substitute for jute bagging is of great variety
OF weight, texture and strength. none Of which
has as yet been sufficiently tested TO warrant
recommendation on the part Of this exchange
for its general use:
Resolved, That this meeting does not deem it
expedient to adopt at present the rules of the
New Orleans convention, held on Sept. II 1889,
but recommend that no change In dealing in
cotton be made until the general cotton trade,
both here and In Europe, has had an opportu-
nifty OF testing Thoroughly the fitness of cotton
bagging, both for its durability and strength TO
Withstand the strain to which it is necessarily
subjected by the frequent REMINDING in trans
portation, and until a standard of such cotton
aging as will serve these purposes has been
generally decided upon.
There is no doubt that there Is a gradual
increase in the number of bales covered
with cotton bagging in the past week, but
the bagging appears to be too fragile to
stand tue rough handling to which cotton is
subjected in transit, and especially 1t
cannot stand the heavy pressure of loading
In steamers for foreign delivery.
There appears to be well-grounded
sympathy among Savannah factors for the
planters, but it is felt that it is to their in
terest chat the jute bagging must be used
until a substitute shall have been discov-
cred which will approximate in efficiency
and economy the jute bagging. Savannah
cotton men in their action of yesterday are
not inspired by any antagonistc spirit
against the planters, but, like those of other
cotton ports, have acted as their best judg-
ment dictated

DECORATING THE APPLE TREES.
A Beautiful Custom That is Followed b!
French Peasant Girls.
Er1.na IInr Dnl,Iln


French Peasant Girls.
From Harpers Young People.
Near the little town of La Ferte, in
France--1 think 1t is La Ferte-there is an
apple tree which bears only imperfect
blossoms; and the fact having long ago
been discovered, has given rise to a very
beautiful custom among the maidcns of tho
village. When spring time comes, and the
apple tree halls the joyous time with glad
lage arm themselves with gay ribbons and
perfect blossoms from their tavorite trees,
and go singing to the lonely tree which
has produced only the imperfect blossoms
Each girl then kisses a cluster of the inn
perfect blossoms with cluster of perfect
blossoms, and in so doing dusts the former
With the pollen from the latter. She then
ties distinguishing ribbon near to the
cluster she has busted.
The tree looks very gay when thus deco
rated, with the pink blossoms smiling up
at heaven and the dainty ribbons hutter-
ing in the perfume laden air but the best
of 1t is when the leaves drop like summer
snow and the little apples begin to take
shape. Then the maidens pluck off all but
the best fruit, and let that take all the
strength Of the tree. SO that the apples grow
famously and come TO perfection. Aud
now is seen the strange part of the affair.
The apples, instead of being all of one
kind, are as different as the blossoms that
kissed their blossoms. the fact being that
tho apple is exattly like the apple ON the
tree from which the pollen bearing BIOS
som was taken.
SO on this one tree will be seen round,
rosy-cheeked apples, long yellow apples
juicy apples, mealy apples, dainty little
apples, and monstrous big" apples
Each maiden has the apple she wished
most to have.

NcrN Risky Indeed.

To tamper with symptoms indicative of grow.
ing kidney disorder to negl ect for a brief time
needful stimulation OF the renal organs when
their inactivity points, as 1t always and unmis.
takably does, TO their eventful permanent dis
ease. Is certainly very risky indeed. This is,
however, a risk that many persons perceptibly
drifting into Bright's disease, diabetes, catarrh
of the bladder, &c, constantly incur. SO those
who read, reflect and heed the lessons of re-
corded experience, the advisabilty Of using
Hostetters stomach Bltters as IL diurctic, need
scarcely more than suggestion. No fact is
more generally admitted by the medical pro
fesson and the public than its efficacy FOR the
prevention of serious renal disease. The unncd-
icated excitants of commerce, no matter how
pure, bear I'm mind, react pref udicially upon
The kidneys when inactive. The Bitters sub
dues malaIlu, constpati on and rheumatism.
