Elsewhere in this issue Will be seen an
article from Mr. John Sebastian, general
passenger and ticket agent of the Rock
Island railway system. in which he out
lines a scheme that that system will in
augurate to induce immigration to the
territory traversed by its lines. The
Rock Island is second, in mileage, in
Kansas, and the plan proposed for work
ing up immi grafton to the state seems
plausible and worthy the consideration
and cooperation of the counties imme-
diately interested. As Mr.. Sebastian
states in the beginning of his communi-
cation, "the magnificent crops in Kansas
the past year" ought to attract large
numbers Of homeseekers TO this state,
and with proper effort, along the lines
suggested, a great deal could unqeus-
tionaply be accomplished.

PaELAsr DAY OF LENT.
Holy Saturdays Services-Prepara
tions for Easter.

Holy Saturdays Services-Prepara-
tions for Easter.
To-day is the last day of Lent. In the
Roman Catholic churches it is Holy Satur-
day. The services at the cathedral will
commence at o'clock this morning and
will continue until IL o'clock The first
service will be the blessing of the water and
the pAschal candle. At . o'clock a solemn
high mass will be celebrated. At 8 o'clock
tonight the tenebr8 will be chanted.
This will conclude the Lenten services.
1t was the practice of the Catholic church,
from the earliest ages, that no mass was
said on Holy Saturday. For a thousand
years after the foundation of the church
the day was spent in prayer and fasting, in
watching in spirit with the holy women at
the sepulcher until the morning OF the
resurrection. The divine office for Easter
eve was sung at midnight on Friday, but
the service aud mass that occur now on Holy
Saturday really took place on Saturday
night. and extending till dawn on Sunday
morning, was the immediate herald of the
resurrection. At this service were baptized
the converts or catechumens who had been
previously found worthy Of admission into
the Christian church.
The service begins at the very entrance to
the church, where new fire, kindled from a
flint, is blessed From this the light is
taken for the candles and lamps throughout
the church, which were extinguished on
Good Friday. The service is very beautiful,
significant and impressive, and includes the
blessing Of the baptismal font with appro-
pirate ceremonies.
Nearly all Of the choirs of the city will
sing Easter music Tomorrow, and in the
Roman Catholic and Episcopal churches
the programmes will be more elaborate
than they have been heretofore. The deco
ration Of the churches will begin to-day.
At yesterday afternoons services at St.
Patrick's church Father McMehon unveiled
a handsome statue of the Blessed Virgin
holding the infant Jesus in her arms. 1t is
the gift of member of the congregation.

TIE PASSOVER is HERE.
The Great Religious Festival of tn
Hebrew People.

The Great Religious Festival of the
Hebrew People.
The Hebrew festival OF the Passover
began at sunset last night. The opening
services of the feast at the Mickva Israel
and other synagogues were largely at
tended. Many Hebrew business houses will
be closed to-day. The services at the
synagogues will continue this morning.
The Feast of the Passover, according to
Jewish history, was instituted by
Moses in commemoration OF the exodus
from Egypt and the liberation of
the Israelites from bondage. This
noteworthy incident followed close upon
the ten plaques, as described in the script
ures, ending with the tragic incident of
the Staying of the first-born Of ell except
those OF the lsraelites.
In the Jerusalem temple the bringing OF
the paschal lamb inaugurated the festival on
the eve of the 18th of the first Hebrew spring
month (Nisan), and the eating thereof fol-
lowed on the same night, together with the
specially baked unleavened bread of afflic-
ton" All leaven is excluded from the
household on that evening and the following
seven days, the first and last of which are
observed as holy.
The more orthodox observe eight days of
the holiday, duplicating for total abstinence
from business the first and seventh DAYS of
the festival. On the first evenings the holi-
day is the occasion for certain domestic
rites, commemorative of the deliverance
from Egyptian bondage, including the re-
cital of scriptural and legendary narratives
bearing upon the event, chanting Of psalms,
etc.
Special preparations have been making
for the observance of the festival, the bak-
ing Of the mutzoth, or unlesvened bread
used exclusively in Jewish families, having
become quite an industry.
The holiday has also had an effect on
business houses, which provide special
spring costumes for males and females
needed for the occasion, wares Of all kinds
for the household, and food supplies OF
every description. The festival is also the
occasion of family reunions, and many
strangers come TO their parents homes
travelling men especially-ro participate in
the joys of the Passover

LARGEST RECEIPTS Known.

! Savannah Still at the Head of the
! Naval Stores Ports Of the World.
! Savannahis naval stores season Of 1892 '93
/ ended yesterday at 2 o'clock 0. m, and the
new season opened. The records Of receipts
and shipments establishes beyond doubt
that this is by far the foremost naval stores
port In the world.
! The receipts Of turpentine up to the close
OF the season just past were 2f7,6l7 casks,
| against 234, 9S6 for the season
preceding. Of these 273,566 casks
have been shipped either coast
wise or foreign, leaving a stock Of only
! 4,643 on hand. The receipts OF rosin have
surpassed anything ever known before,
reaching the enormous amount OF l,O32, l9S
! barrels, against S73, 67S barrels for the pre-
cedinR season. The total shipments Of rosin
were g9S, POS barrels, leaving stock OF 6o,-
513 on hand.
While the receipts and shipments Of naval
stores have surpassed those Of any preceding
season the markets have been dull, and the
safes were made on too small mar
gin for reasonable profits. The mar
kets for the past season have been rather
unsatisfactory and the figures quoted for
spirits have been too low for profit. This
is another argument in favor OF the storage
tanks, by which London dealers have gained
the advantage of keeping their stock on
hand without loss from leakage or other
wise. until the market advances sufficiently
70 net them good profit.
1t is hardly probable that the season in
augurated to-day will have anything like
the receipts of the past year. The
increased supply with a limited de-
mand has had the tendency to
depress prices to such an extent that many
OF the shippers found no profit at all IN
their sales. Then, too the turpeutine forests
have been largely depleted during the sea-
son which has just passed, another indication
that this years supply will be somewhat
more limited than that Of last
A noteworthy feature of the market for
the past two years is that the low grades Of
rosin have fallen off in value, while the
higher grades have gone up. For in
stance, the average price of E
rosin for '91-'92, from figures taken
on the 18th of each month, was 81 25 per
barrel, while 1925 it was only 81 1919. For
window glass rosin the 1892 average was
81 Is, while that for last season was So %,
The average price of spirits for 1892 was
1915 cents per gallon, while that for '92-'93
was 2914 cents. Here there has been a drop
Of 3$4 cents on the average.
These facts have taught the producers
lesson that they will profit by, The crop
for the incoming season will probably be
more in proportion with tho demand, and
the indications are that there will be ma
terial advance in the market before many
months.

TO ERECT AN AUDITORIUM.

The Canvass for Subscriptions to
Stock to Begin at once.
A meeting of the committee Of the Music
Festival Association was held last night.
Its action assures the erection of an audi
toTium and the continuance Of the annual
music festivals as permanent institution.
The action OF the committee contem-
plates the immediate organization OF q
stock company with capital of 81 900 IN
shares Of $40 each, and the erection of an
auditorium or music hall with maximum
seating capacity of ? 800.
An option has been secured on desiras
bic site and the canvass for subscriptions to
stock will begin at once. Col. Charles II .
Olmstead, chairman Of the festival associs-
ton. will announce the committees early
next week. As soon as the stock has been
subscribed the preliminary steps will be
taken for the erection Of the auditorium
which will be ready for the next annual
spring festival. The stock will be payable
in installments. The par value is go small
that the association anticipates little diff
Guilty in securing the full amount required
to erect the building and put the association
on a sound financial footing.
The need for building of the character
OF that proposed has long been recognized.
The purposes for which it may be used it is
believed. will insure fair revenue. There
is a frequent demand for a building with a
seating capacity larger than that of the
theater aud for purposes for which
the churches are not obtainable, aud
even for church purposes In the holding OF
union meetings, religious conventions, etc.
A hall is often needed for non-reliCious con-
ventions, political meetings, shows, eto.
which the proposed building would supply,
The canvassing committee will be an
nounced in day or two and subscription
lists to the stock will be opened.

1T WAS A PLEASANT TRIP.

City Officials Gain Some Information
About a FumigetinG Plant.
Col w. j. VIM, city engineer, Mr.. John
w. Howard. his assistant, and Mr.. w. P.
Carmichael, drainage superintendent, have
just returned from Charleston, where they
went to inspect the fumigating plant used at
the Charleston quarantine station.
This plant is the best now in use in the
south, having cost $4,000. The city is con-
templating putting in a similar plant
at the quarantine station here.
and it was for the purpose
OF gaining information to this end that the
Charleston trip was made Although the
Charleston plant is the best In the south
the party was of the opinion that there was
room for Improvement, aud If one is put
up here it will probably nave all the latest
improved adjuucts, and it is estimated that
it will cost in the neighborhood of $4,000.
Col. VIM will make his report to the
mayor to-day or tomorrow, and the matter
of putting in such plant for fumigating
vessels and cargoes will probably be con-
sidered at the next council meeting. The
need of such an adjunct to the quarantine
is recognized in view of the infections
which may get abroad this summer.
Col. VIM, Mr. Howard and Mr.. Carui-
chael feel under many obligations TO the
attentive city officials in Charleston, whose
kindnesses and courtesIes were highly ap-
preciated.

ROBBED A COUNTRYMAN.
Three Young Men Charged With Sc

Sydney Lilienthal, James Monahan and
Il. E. Hanrahan ara locked up at the bar
racks under the charge Of highway rob-
berry. Monahan and Hanrahan have con-
fessed and put the actual commission Of the
crime upon Lilienthal.
Day before yesterday Il. ]. Alston of
AbbeVille came 20 the city to make pur-
chsses, and after attending to his business
started in for good time by
drinking freely. By night Allston
was heavily loaded, and wan
dered into the eastern end Of South Broad
| street. He met both Sydney and Nose
Liienthal in that locality and had several
drinks with them in different barrooms.
About 9 o'clock Policeman Jernigan
found Allston asleep on!a stoop on Reynolds
street and sent him 20 the barracks for
drunkenness. The man appeared dazsd
and talked foolishly, but although the Of
ficers considered his condition rather a lit

Early yesterday morning Detective Bosseil
heard that Sydney LilienthAl had been
showing a roll of bills night before in
a Broughton street barroom, and at 9
o'clock he arrested the young man at
Broughton and Drayton streets. A search
Of Lilienthal at the barracks resulted in
the finding of SIC in his SOCK.
He explained by saying it was
money he had won. From the descriptions
Of the other parties, as furnished by Allston,
Detective Bossell decided that Hanrahan
and Monahan were the men he wanted. He
arrested Hanrahan himself, and Policemen
Scully and Rahilly landed Monahan in the
afternoon.
Hanrahan and Monahan sent for De-
tective Bossell and told him that Allston
had been held up at President and Reynolds
streets, to where they had piloted
him from South Broad, and that
Sydney Lilienthal went through his
pockets and took his money.
He gave Monahan $40 and Hanrahan $25,

there seems to be no connection between
Nose Lilienthal and the robbery he will be

The promptness of Detective Bossell in
running down the guilty parties Is worthy
OF communication. A number Of country
men have been robbed In this manner here
in the last few months, and this is the first
time the robbers have been captured.
