The morning news., 1894-02-11

The cessation OF gdyleGy gives society
the opportunity to enjoy something of a
more substantial and intellectual nature
and Savannah is realizing to some extent
the great deficiency that has always been
felt in the lack of lectures, musicals, read.
ings, ETC., but the demand is being
gradually met. Several good lectures
have already been heard and others arc
promised Miss Jenkins has charmed
all who heard her, and she will be en-.
Enthusiastically received on her next ap.
pearance. The lecture last evening by
Gen. Gordon was memorable
one, and an intellectual and re
miniscent treat. Cards and dane
ing are on theretired list, and the vacuum
caused by their cessation promises to be
filed with other attractions of a more
quiet nature. The visiting girls still lin

tiOn them as follows: The reception ten
dered the Rev. Earnest NJ. Stires and his
bride by members of the Grace Episcopal
church overshadowed other social events
yesterday. More than the usual interest
has attached to MIR. Stires since his ar
rival in Chicago some three months ago.
The fact that so Young minister should
be chosen to fill DIR. LoCke's place was in
itself the occasion of much comment.
Few ministers, perhaps, could have come
into congregation where one pastor had
ruled for twenty-five years and made the
same general good impression. Soon
after his arrival it was whispered about
that the young minister was to wed. At
Christmas time he was granted leave of
absence, and Saturday he returned to
Chicago with his bride. They have taken
quarters at the Lexington. Mrs. Stires
Is tall and graceful. Standing beside her
husband she can look straight into his
blue eyes without lifting her brown ones
or fitting back her pretty head. The re-
ception rendered the young couple last
night at the Lexington was very attract
