AT THE THEATER.
Mrs. Laura Mehrtens' Musicale the
Event Tonight.

Mrs. Laura Mehrtens' Musicale the
Event Tonight.
The leading event in local music circles
this winter will probably be the Mehr-
tens musicale at the theater tonight.
The sale of tickets will be continued to-
day although very nearly all of the
choice locations have been taken. The
management requests that those who at
tend will be in their seats by 8 o'clock
prompt The concert will begin
Immediately thereafter, and the doors
will be closed during the performance of
each number on the programme, so that
there will be no annoyance from people
entering or leaving the theater while the
concert is in progress. The opening num-
Der will be a concerto. Mrs. Mehrtens
will be assisted by full orchestra and by
MIR, James Douglass and Prof. Huebner,
violinists.
The fact that this will be the first
public appearance of Mrs. Mehrtens since
her return from Europe, and the excep-
tional praise that was accorded her play
ing there by the ablest critics, is sufficient
to attract large audience.
Savannah has had many concerts lately,
but none of them promised better than
that which the Tavary Operatic Concert
Company will give at the theater Wednes-
day night The charm Of the programme
offered is in its variety, and in the oppor-
tunity to hear an entire act of the opera
Martha" rendered, not in concert form,
but as an operatic performance. Miss
Helen Won Doenhoff and Signor Michelena,
two well-Rnown favorites, have delighted
the Savannah public before. Miss Marie
Tavary will make her first appearance
here. Signor Sartori has to make his
reputation before Savannah audience,
but he comes with laurels fresh from La
Scala of Milan. All these artists will APP
pear first in the concert programme,
which will close with Verdi's "Rigoletto

BEEF TEA FOR ROSES.
Animal Food as a StimuEant. for Gar

magnificent as those that cover the
garden wall of the old Roman palace
in the Via Sistini in which once lived
the famous epicure LuculluS.
Rome is a city Of roses. They run
riot, but those of the old palace have
passionate in it's intensity Their
form, their every petal, the way they
hang upon their stems, is picture-like.
The color Of some is, deep, deep Grim

others it is cameo pink, changing to
rich cream tints at the center; others
are the bright yellow that mellows
into gold; others are the white that is

duced these superb rosesY
One day [ saw the gardener, whose
love for his roses is almost pagan,
watering them carefully at the roots
with a clear, dark liquid. | was sure
that this was the feeding that had
to do with the secret Of their wonder
full beauty.
On investigation l learned that the
wealth Of odor and coloring was the
result Of animal food. That mysteri-
GUS libation which I had seen poured
at their roots was strong beef tea,
made from fresh cuts of beef and
strained. The old gardener himself
invented the idea.
This reminded me how Iuxuriantly
I had seen ferns Of every kind, even
the most delicate, growing in several

@'NITCHEGO."

Bismarck, when ambassador at the
court Of the car one day was invited
to the imperial hunt Very fond of the
sport, he fastened to the preserve on
the evening before the appointed date
and at once set out for a little chase
Of his own. Game being abundant,
Bismarck had a good time, but lost
his way and found himself many
miles away from the place of rendez-
vouS when the time for the hunt az
rived. A peasant appeared with a
team Of ponies and a village sleigh
and offered his services.
Are you sure you can get me there
in time?" asked Bismarck. Nit
chegor' answered the m0ujik quietly
C'Nitchego' is the Russian for never
mind.'O These are rather rats than
horses" remarked Bismarck, taking
his seat in the sleigh. ''Nitchegov'
was the answer. The peasant whipped
UP his horses and they went as swiftly
as a pair Of falcons. Bismarck could
scarcely keep his seat. You do not
spare your horses at ALL" remarked
the famous passenger, gasping for
breath. ''Nitchegor' said the driver.
You say 'NitchegO,' but they may fall
dead on the way" ''Nitchegop' You
will break my neckr' finally exclaimed
Bismarck, scared in good earnest
-Nitchego!' answered the Russian,
with a bit of a smile on his face.
Presently there was a smash; Bis
marck flew against tree and bruised
his face.
Enraged at this the future Iron
Chancellor jumped up, snatched an
iron rod from the sleigh, and rushed
at the peasant The driver cOOlly
picked up handful of snow, with
which he good-naturedly wiped the
blood stains from Bismarcks face.
'ENitchegor' he uttered as he finished
the operation.
THAT invariable Russian 'Nitchego'
disarmed me-" said Bismarck, telling
the story to a Russian diplomat fist
L gave myself UP to the will of my
driver sat quietly in the sleigh, and
made no further remarks. My driver
brought me to the place in time; l
paid him well, thanked him warmly,
and preserved that iron rod. When [
returned to st. Petersburg I ordered
jeweler to make me a ring from
the rod, with the inscription in Rus
sian 'Nitchego.'" The Russian init

marck's policy. "Whenever," said he,

The fire communicated almost stimuli
taneously to the transportation, manu-
facturers and agricultural buildings.
The transportation building was in
a great part saved, but the other two
soon collapsed. A part Of machinery
hall was also saved.
One man was burned to death and
another was so badly burned that he
may die. They were standing near
the electrical building when it caved
in, they being enveloped in flames.
Both were book keepers for Marshal
Field and were present as spectators.

COUNTING COINS BY MACHINERY

Philadelphia Record: The feat Of
counting 1000 silver dollars per min
ute is now being performed at the
mint by little machine invented by
Sebastian Heines, the chief carpen-
ter of the institution, and by its aid
the work Of counting the coin and
weighing the silver bars can, it is
thought, be completed by the middle
OF next month. The slow progress
made in counting by hand led Mr.
Heines to experiment, with the result.
after the expenditure of much thought
and time, of turning out a very sue
cessful machine.
Mr.. Morgan, of Mint Director Pres
tons office. was greatly interested in
the experiments, and, upon witnessing
the final successful test of the inven-
ton, he granted permission for its use
in counting the great mass Of silver
dollars. The machine was put into
regular operati ton yesterday, and when
worked to its limit was easily able
to dispose of two bags of coins con-
tanning $1,000 in a minute.
The machine consists Of a hopper.
into which the coins are dropped. A
cog wheel, the teeth of which resem-
BILE those Of a circular saw, carries
the coins to tubes, and from these
they are forced out upon a little ia
BILE, containing twenty grooves, each
Of which holds just fifty coins. A
turn of the crank counts 1000 coins. |
which are Immediately put into a bag, |
and a second thousand follows before |
the expiration Of the minute.

FEDERAL LAW MAKERS.

Washington, July 5.-The senate
passed the tariff bill, very late in the
evening, by a vote OF 80 to "a, party
vote, except Mr.. Hill, who voted with
the republicans. The populists df-
vided, twO-MesSrs. Kyle and Allen
voting III favor of the bill, and two
MeSsrs. PETER and SteWart-against it.
An antitrust rider was put in the
bill, protection is refused to wool and
salaries of the president and United
States judges are not exempted from
the income tax. During the day a
hard but hopeless fight was made by
republicans under Sherman to place
wool on the dutiable list. The CALLER
les were filled to overlooking and the
scene was truly a brilliant one. Mr.
Powers made a final effort to secure
a duty on wool. Mr.. PettigreW tried
to get through a provision for a tariff
commission. Mr.. Henderson made a
last attempt to substitute a diminish
ing bounty on the sugar schedule.
Mr.. Shoup, of Idaho, in an almost in
audible voice, read speech in support
of a duty on mineral waters.
Washington, July 5.-The interest in
the house conferred in the reception of
the tariff bill There was democratic
applause as the bill was laid upon the
speakers table The bill to subject to
state taxation national bank notes and
United States treasury notes consumed
the entire afternoon and no conclusion
had been reached when the house ad-
journed.
Washington, July 1O-In the senate
Mr.. PETER offered an omnibus reso-
luton providing:
First, That all public functions ought
to be exercised through public agents:
second, that all interstate railroads
ought to be brought under the control
and the supervision Of public officers,
and charges for transportation Of per
sons and property throughout the Unit
ed States ought to be uniform and
that wages of employees ought to be
regulated by law and paid promptly
in money; third, that all coal beds
ought to be owned and worked by the
government, and that the wages of
the employees should be paid in money
when due; fourth. that all money used i
by the people ought to be supplied only |
by the government of the United |
States. and that the rate of interest |
ought to be uniform in all states; fifth. /
that all revenues of the government |
ought to be raised by taxes on real
estate.
