A creditahle Celebration.

The celebration on Monday of the ami
versary of Emancipation day by the col
ored people of this city was very credi-
table one. The parade and the exercises
at the theater were marked by becoming
dignity and appreciation of the occasion
The bearing of the military excited favor
able comment, and the address of Bishop
Turner was an appropriate one. In all
that was done there appeared to bea very
clear understanding of the Importance Of
the event that called forth the demon
stration.
1t is now generally admitted by think
ing men that the abolition Of slavery was
blessing to the south. Looking back
ward at the great events Of history,
they are seen with clearer vision than at
the time of their occurrence, and emanci-
patton is viewed in the south very differ
emily from what it was when the emanci-
patton proclamation was issued. The
bitterness that was aroused by the up
setting of the slavery system has about
all disappeared, and the losses caused by
the abolishing of the system have ceased
to be felt except by comparatively few
people.
The white people of the south are re-
alizing what struggle it has been TO the
blacks, as race, as we'll as to the
whites, to maintain themselves under
such trying change as was forced upon
both races by the results of the war
Time, however, is solving the problems
which the change presented. 1t is solv-
ing them much more quickly and salts
factorily than they could be solved by
political means.
Mondays celebration was we'll conduc-
ted, and demonstrated that Savannah's
colored citizens feel pride in the reputa-
tion Savannah enjoys for hospitality.

The Tramp and His Dog.

AS heating apparatus, Dick Dunn consid-
ers yaller dog to be superior to a police
station, says the Chicago mail He had his
the dog by a rising vote. In its company he
lay in the snow and slept the sleep of the
just.
Dick Dunn is tramp by natural proclivity
SO is his yaller dog, Grover Cleveland. They
picked up an acquaintance on the road and
Dick called the dog Cleveland because it was
opposed to tariff on food. They travelled all
the way from Laporte, Ind, to Hyde Park,
and walked into the station atmidnight. Desk

Precedence in London Society.

Englishmen always eat dinner before they
go out to dinner, because they know the RISKS
they are running, writes Mark Twain in the
January Century. But nobody ever warns
the stranger, and so he walks placidly into
the trap. OF course, nobody was hurt this
time, because we had all been to dinner. none

The Length of the Session.

Congress reconvenes to-day, and there
is good deal of speculation as to the
probable length of the session. Just be-
fore leaving for Washington Representa-
tive Lester said he thought the session
would be short one. He holds the opin-
ion that the tariff bill will be pushed
through congress much sooner than
the country thinks, and that other
business will be disposed of rapidly, be-
cause members will be anxious to get
home and look after their fences.
Some of the oldest members, however,
entertain different opinion. They are
talking about the middle of September or
the first of October as the probable date
of adjournment. The fifty-first congress,
which passed the Mckinley tariff bill, did
not adjourn until some time in October.
There are other important questions
besides the tariff to settle They are
questions concerning which there are
great differences ofopinion, and they will
consume time. If congressman get away
from Washington by Sept. l, they will be
fortunate.

What They Were Worth.

Billings was travelling man, carrying a
line Of handkerchiefs and neckwear, says the
Chicago Herald. He met rather attractive
young woman on one of his trips and before
he realized how i'll it comported with his du-
ties, he had married her.
Nature had never intended him for mar
ried man, and he was seldom at home, even
when his duties would have permitted him
Finally, he became irregular in the matter of
remittanceS, and his wife needing some pin
money, took down his route book and found a
letter would reach him a. Peru. Ind. So she
wrote him there, asking him for $40. He was
in the Bearss house billiard-room when he
read the letter. He had noSl0 to spare. He
needed all his money for his own fOllies
But the request annoyed me. He got up.
walked about the room for moment and his
eyes at length rested on deck OF ards living
where some man had completed a game OF
solitaire. The top card on each pile was a
nine spot.
Billings looked at them a minute then
picked up the four cards inclosed them in an
envelope and sent them to his wife At Craw.

demanding in indignant terms what he meant
by sending her four mines. He sat down In
the writing room of the ROBBINS house and

AN IRON COMPANY FAILS.
The Liabilities $4,000 and the
Assets Not Over $50. 900.

Norristown, Pa, Jan. 2.-The Mont
gomery Iron Company, of Port Kennedy,
has made an assignment to the Guaran-
tee Trust and Safe Deposit Company, OF
Harrisburg, for the benefit of credit
ors. A. S. Patterson, president of the
company, declined when approached 10
estimate the assets of the company,
which are mostly real estate. The liabili-
ties, he said, are $3.50, 600. He did not
think the company would pay 10 per cent.
to its creditors.
The failure was foreshadowed few
days ago by that of the Mahoniag Rolling
Mills, both of which have their general
Office in Philadelphia, Abraham 5. Pat
terson being president of both.
The Montgomery Iron Company was
established in 1854 The authorized capt.
tai is S150,000 which has all been paid in.
1t is. and always has been, a close cor
poration, and the amount of dividends
paid has never been publicly stated. The
annual capacity of the plant is $4,000
gross tons. President Patterson's brother,
Joseph Storm Patterson, is the secretary
and treasurer and general manager of the
company.

Cooking Without a Cook.

A scientific publication describes a new
electrical cooking stove which must be a
thing of beauty and JOY forever to the
housewife who, having had experience
with the servant problem, finds herself
possessed of one of them. The stove is of
artistic pattern, finished in black enamel
and nickel. The heat is applied inter
nally and packing of asbestos prevents
its escape The doors are of glass, so
that the cooking food may be watched,
though an electrical expert thousand
miles away could cook meal to perfec-
tion merely by the touching of buttons.
For switches are so arranged that the
heat can be graduated to any degree re-
quired, and the temperature maintained
or altered by the touching of button.
A thermometer is fixed in the oven, be-
hind the glass door, for the guidance
of the cook, though arrange
ments have been made to dis
pense with the actual attendance
of cook after the meal has
been put on" A clock, synchroniaed
to standard time, is attached TO the
switchboard of the stove. 1t may be set
IOE any nOur ueSlreu, anu In6 raw 1OOd
placed in the stove. At the proper time
the clock will turn on the current, an au-
tomato heat governor will regulate the
temperature, and in q certain number OF
minutes, which can be calculated after a
little experience, the meal will be done
and the clock will turn the current OF
again. Thus it is possible for the house
wife to prepare her breakfast overnight
and go to bed with the assurance that
there will be no late or half-cooked break
fast because the cook has oversight her
self. AS there are no violent fluctuations
of temperature in the stove, the careful
observer will soon be able to set the clock
TO cook anything. from q three-minute egg
to plum pudding, and with such seien-
tific exactness that failure in the cooking
win be next to impossible.
The electrical scientists have done so
many wonderful things in the last few
years that it would hardly be safe 10
wager that they will not yet produce an
apparatus to make the beds, dust the par
lor aud wait on the dining table.

Always Cool in a Crisis.

There is one Of the employees Of the census
bureau in Washington who is regarded by the
Washington Post as the most matter-of-fact
man in the government service One would
scarcely call him hero in the usual sense of
the term, but he evidently has in him some OF
the stun such as heroes are made Of and
there are occasions when he would probably
rise TO the point OF the sublime. though,
truth to say, he has not done so uD to date.

Fortunes in Florida.

S. F. Gibbs, Of Melbourne, Fla, writing
to the Southern States Magazine, says:
Il am in the pineapple business, and have
been since 1888 plant from ten to
twelve thousand plants to the acre. It
costs about $3.50 per acre, including land,
slips, planting, care and fertilizers, until
they come into fruiting the second year.
I generally get from 1000 70 5000 apples
per acre-marketable apples-whioh
bring from cents to cents apiece net.
The pine slips sell at from S. to 81 per
thousand, according TO size. They average
four slips per plant, and about one extra
sucker to each plant, which sell at from
SO to sl2 per thousand. The pineapple
responds to care and fertilizers as, quickly
as any plant that know of. 1 am also
growing tomatoes and beans on hammock
land and am clearing from $50 to ESQ
per acre on them. Beans are very profit
able. The early paintings which come
into market about Decem Der, bring from
50 to 81 per crate of about three peeks."
OF course, the chief items of expense,
including the price of the land, are in
Cured during the first two years, and
even then the cultivation of pineapples on
the Indian river shows an immediate
profit of from S13O to $3.50 per acre. Al
ter that profit of $500 and s4OO per
acre is not uncommon.
There are other pineapple lands In Flor
ida, but none more fertile or more easily
cultivated than those of the Indian river
and Lake Worth section, and the transpor-
tation facilities of that region by rail,
river, and canal are unsurpassed in the
state. During the vegetable and pine
apple seasons, the Jacksonville, St.
Augustine and Indian River railway runs
fast freight trains with ventilated cars,
which lay the produce of the east coast
down in the New York, Cincinnati,
Chicago and Washington and Boston
markets within from 4s to 60 hours of the
picking and in as firm condition as when
it left the plantation or gardens.
There are fortunes for thousands of
people in the east coast country of
Florida, if only they will investigate the
possibilities for wealth in the culture
there of pineapples, oranges, lemons and
vegetables, and then apply common sense
and ordinary business principles to their
occupation when once they engage in it.
Thousands of struggling farmers in all
parts of the country could acquire indie

NEW ORLEANS LOTTERIES.
Employees of the Old Company Start

New Orleans, Jan. 2.-The supposition
that there will be no more lotteries in
New Orleans after Jan. /, as the Louis
lana concern has emigrated to Honduras,
was erroneous. To-day all over the city,
lottery offices were open. Any one can
now take one or more chances in the

the employees of that late company any
persons can invest in ticket that is al

The new school year in the state of
Georgia, as noted in our dispatches yes
terday, will be from July to June 80, so
as to coincide with the states fiscal year,
as suggested by the MORNING News some
time previous to the passage of the act.
The old school year began and ended with
the calendar year, so that the report of
the state school commissioner was made
up of data eleven months and more old
when laid before the legislature; thus
the report for the calendar year 1892 was
given to the general assembly in Novem-
Der, 1898. Under the new order of things
the school reports and estimates will be
brought up TO the end of the fiscal year,
and the legislators will be informed of
the working of the schools in the same
calendar year that they are asked to
make or alter provisions for them
