A REAL ENGLISH WEDDING cAKs.

A REAL ENGLISH WEDDING cAKB.
s'Your wedding cakes" says an Eng
lish woman visiting here, ''seem to me
very poor and plain. Ours are q real
sweet, you know. They are made Of
three separate cakes Of graduated sizes.
the first and largest often being as large
around-well, as the front wheel Of .
baby's perainbulator. Each cake is com.
posed, first of the fruit cake, which is Q
solid baked mass of rich fruits quite six
inches deep; over this is deep layer Of
about three inches of rich almond paste,
and quite on the top is two inches moro
of rich icing. The three cakes are ex-
actly the same except il size: around.
They are placed one on top Of the other
in pyramid shape, with more icing and
sugar ornaments, .cupids, flowers, and
leaves carried in graceful design from top
to base. F,ldG$ - ~
CAT the wedding breakfast the bride
puts the knife into the top layer, which
Is then carried to one side end sawed
INTO pieces by the servant, for Il will be
hard. This is handed about among the
guests; the second tier is left with the
brides mother, and the bottom cake il
sent untouched to the brides home. Tho
fruit cake Is often made as much as three
months beforehand, which gives its
richness time to permeate the loaf thor
oughly. The almond paste is TO ms the
most delicious part Of the cake, and this
you do not have at all. New York

of melted butter and two tablespoonsful
of sugar. Knead the dough we'll, beat
it and again put it to rise. Roll It out
very thick, cut out round with q small
tumbler, cover the cake up to rise q
third time, and fry golden brown in
hot butter or boiling lard! Or, beat to
a cream one.half pound Of butter with
three. quarters Of q pound of sugar; stir
in one pint Of sweet milk and a. teacup-
ful of yeast. and work into paste with
one and half pints OF flour. Set this
to rise over night.
Next day beat up two eggs aud mix
them into the paste with one teaspoonful
of cinnamon and half teaspoonful OF
salt. Into this work enough -four to
make dough Gas stiff as for breaD-
Bet it to rise until light for two hours or
more; roll out thickly aud proceed ss
above. The following are made with

dough with half breakfastcupful OF
butter, one of sugar, two eggs, half q
large cupful of milk (sour) Or cream,
half teaspoonful of soda dissolved in
hot water, half teaspoonful of nutmeg,

WHY CHURCHES ARE PARALYzED.

The Rev. R. NJ. Patterson, of Philadelphia,
says: "One particularly disgrareful phase
of fthe general inconsistency Of the Christian
life which is SO harmful to the progress OF
Christ's cause, may be noted-the growing
disposition to administer churches as II 1t
was part of their mission to provide enter
tainment for the people. Fairs, concerts,
comical lectures, oyster suppers. turning
the dedicated house of worship into place
of hilarious amusement, are fearIuly de-
,moralizing to the religious life. They de-
spiritualize the peorle; merge the high sense
Of obligation into pleasure seeking; blot out
that line of demarkation between the church
and the world, which cannot be destroyed
without debasing the one and affor9lns rare
comfort to the other in it's sins. The ,piety
of congregations which tolerate such things
has lost the high old Puritan, tpye. They
are full Of weaklings. with itching ears and
sensual stomachs, who measure q church by
its amusement-producing capacity"

FIGHT OF THE sCALPERs.
They Meet the Railroad Men Before
the House Committee.

Atlanta, Ga, Nov, 2s.-A large delega-
ton of prominent railroad men. inclUding
President Thomas, of the Nashville
Chattanooga and St. Louis; Receiver
Conner, Traffic Manager Fitzgerald of the
East Tennessee; Mai. Shellman, Commits
sioner Stahlman and others, appeared be-
fore the railroad committee of the House
this afternoon to discuss the bill de
signed to suppress ticket scalpers.
Secretary Mckenzie, of the Ticket
Brokers Association, of Chicago, with
the attorney for that association and
delegation of conductors, also met the
committee
The railroads object to the section of
the bill requiring them to redeem unused
portions of tickets, but make no fight on
the other features of the bill.
The scalpcrs, of course, oppose the
whole measures. They also claim that
the railroads arc not really anxious to
have the bill passed because they stand
in with them, especially the weaker
lines. such as the East Tennessee and
Georgia, and Carolina and Northern, run
ming out of Atlanta.

A NEW CASE OF FEVER.
Its Development Causes No Alarm
and All Is Going Well.

Brunswick, Ga, Nov. 2S.-One new
case of fever was reported to-day, j. r.
Scott, colored.,
Two patients were discharged, one
white: Anime Won Kohler, and one col
ored Diana Wallace.
There are now three cases under treat
ment, all colored. .-
A recapitulation of the epidemic gives
a total of 1,Og8 cases that have been and
are now under treatment, 322 of these
were white and $50 colored. AZ whites,
- colored and ! Monaghan have died
making the total deaths Sd. The ratio of
mortality is SO.
CAUSE OF THE FEW DEATHS.
This ratio is the lowest in the history
of any epidemic. and Is due to several
causes, among them being the good sanir
Gary condition of the city and people and
the large number Of COlOred patients
whose type of the fever was exceedingly
mild. In addition to this, the s6illiul
treatment of the disease by the attending
physicians has kept the death rate low.
Ghirty-four physicians have been con
nected with this epidemic, bringing all
their skill to bear on its effects. rhe en-
lightenment of recent medical discoveries
has enabled them to cure numerous pa
TENTS after black vOmit, heretofore CON
sidered the last and most dangerous stage
of the disease, had appeared.
The announcement of one new case to-
day need cause no alarm to returning ref
ugees. If their houses are properly aired
and fumigated they can be entered and
considered safe The appearance of one
or two cases now and then can be ex-
pected, and will be announced if located.
Those who desire to enter Brunswick can
secure permits from Surgeon Murray, if
their houses are in proper condition to re
ceiVe them.

GEoRGIANs IN CONGRESS.
Maj. Bacon Wants the Legislature to
Map Out a Policy for Them.


Atlanta, Ga. Nov. 2S.-N1aj Bacon, at
the night session of the House tonight,
introduced a set of resolutions memorial
ling the Georgia senators and representa-
tives in congress as TO their course upon
matters of legislation. financial and 9th
erwise, To be considered at the coming
session. 1t is understood that Mai Ba-
cons side is that there being no political
conventions in the state this year, the
Democratic party should in some way ex-
press It's wish in regard to national mat
tiers. He thinks that the party should
announce some principles upon which it
may stand next year, in order that
its following may be kept together
for the next campaign, and he believes
that the resolutions submitted embody
the wishes of the majority of the party
members. The resolutions declare in
favor of the coinage of gold and silver
without discrimination against either
metal, and that the constitution of gold
coins as the sole money of final payment
would be injurious to the business and
prosperity of the country in the deprecia-
tion of all property values.
The resolutions disclaim any spirit of
criticism on past occurrences and invoke
the future action of congress fixing the
equality of both gold and silver coin as
the money of the country.
The right of the states to charter
banks of issue is asserted and the ex-
elusive right of national banks to issue
bills is condemned
The resolutions further favor a tariff
for revenue and a graduated income tax,
and the senator's and representatives
from Georgia are requested to endeavor
to, make effective the principles con-
tanned in the resolutions
The resolutions were referred to the
committee on the state of the republic.

Another Effort to Be Made to Have

Another Effort to Be Made to Have
Mr.. Atkinson or Mr.. Clay Withdraw.
Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 2S.-Hon. A. S.
Clay president of the Senate, in an inter
view to-day, announces that he will be
ready within the next ten days to say,
definitely, whether or not he will be
candidate for governor next year.
For months past Mr.. Clay has been re
garded as an avOwed candidate, but since
the assembling of the legislature efforts
have been made by mutual friends of both
gentlemen to hold either Mr.. Clay or Mr.
Atkinson, speaker of the House, out of
the approaching contest. The candidacy
Of both men would be unfOrtun-
ate, as they rely largely upon
the same element for support.
They know that themselves, as well as
their friends, and each hopes that the
other will withdraw.
1t seems that there has been a big game
of bluff in progress. Two weeks or more
ago mention was made in these dispatches
of conference between the friends of
President Clay and Speaker Atkinson for
the purpose of talking matters over. 1t
Is understood that Mr.. Atkinson declined
10 yield any of the argument in favor of
Mr.. Clay at the time and the matter has
remained in this state ever since.
Mr., Atkinson's position was that
lie would run if there were
dozen Clays in the race if he wanted to.
From what Senator Clay says now it APP
pears that there is another conference
on the tapis. This time the situation will
ne brought to focus, and either one of
the two will give upor there viii be open
political warfare between them.
General Clement A. Evans is quietly
