FELL FROM HIS WAGON AND DIED
A scavenger Drivers Sudden Death
in the Street

Joseph Carter. colored, a driver of one
of the city scavenger wagons, died sud
denly yesterday afternoon about
o'clock. Carter had gone to the ware
house of the Savannah. Florida and West
ern railway for load of hay. He was
standing up in his wagon, when he sud-
denly lost his balance and fell to the
ground. He lay on the ground apparently
unable to move and appeared to be seri-
ousIy hurt. The police ambulance was
called and DR.. NJ. X. Corbin was sum
moned.
1t was thought that Carter had broken
his neck or injured himself internally i'm
some way by his fall. but the physician
found that this was not the case Carter
remained conscious and talked nationally
while being removed to his home on Stew
art street, but shortly after arriving there
began to talk wildly and soon died His
death was evidently due to an apoplectfc
stroke.
Carter had been in the employ of the
department for several years, and was re-
garded one of the most reliable men
in the employ of the department
The circumstances of Carriers death are
very similar to those of another negro
who fell from q wagon in front of the
market several weeks ago and died i'm
medately, his death being due it was
supposed, to heart disease.

A TALK BEFORE THE ART LEAGUE.
Mr.. f. HOpkinsOn Smiths Lecture at
the Guards Hall.


the Guards Hall.
Mr.. F. Eopkinson Smith gave his final
reading at the Guards hall yesterday.
afternoon, under the auspices of the Art
League, before a large audience. His sub
ject was The Quality of the Picturesque"
Mr.. Smith propounded as a fundamental
principle his belief that there is no beauty
in a straight line. He says Venice is the
most picturesque spot he knows. because
there are fewer straight lines there than
anywhere else on earth. Nature is never
picturesque until rough-hewn by the hands
of man. 1t is the woodsman's ak, he said,
that makes the forest picturesque
Mr.. Smith read several of his sketches,
the first of which was descriptive of
beautiful landscape adjacent to New York
city. 1t abounded with beautiful imagery
ana one listening could almost see the
winding rivers with the cattle knee-deep
in the lush grasses, while the artist sat
in his boat close to the bank. underneath
the overhanging willows, that fringed the
meadow land.
For the benefit of Savannahians who
visit New York in summer time and care
10 visit the spot, Mr.. Smith describes so
beautifully in his Day at Laguerre's, and
Other Stories" the following directions
will bring them to it: The scene is on the
Bronx river between Williamsbridge and
Fordham, and can be reached by the Har-
lem railroad from Grand Central depot in
twenty minutes. The old Frenchman'S
house is still there. 1t is called lie
Moires," and is noted for its fine cookery.
The old Frenchman is very proud of his
distinguished patron, and Mr.. Smiths
name is an open sesame to the best hos
pItahty the house affords.
From thefpastoral scene Mr.. Smith car
RED his audience to Venice, embarked on
a gondola and then made his auditors
thoroughly acquainted with the beautiful
city of canals. 1t was no ordinary tourist
trip on which Mr.. Smith conducted his
hearers, but an excursion through the
by-Ways, picturing the rich colorings, the
old warehouses with the oilers sleeping
in the doOrwayS. The audience became
acquainted with the ragged urchns hat
less! coatless! everything Mr.. Smith
described them. The Virago sigornia could
be heard scolding her husband, the gon-
doler; other boats loaded with melons
and fish baskets fioated past and over all
sky of turquoise and the soft accom-
panlment OF the guitar as one hoated on
the starlit waters of the great canal.
The next step was to STEAMBOAT and Con-
stantinople. Mr. Smith led his hearers
through the bazars. They talked with his
guide and the old scribe guarding the tenn
ple in the shops rich goods were dis
played by the merchants and the sweet
smells of spices and perfumes greeted
them on all sides.
Mr.. Smith closed his most agreeable en-
tertainment with the assertion that the
man who can even in fancy get away from
the crude straight lines of everyday life.

ELLIS WILL PROBABLY DIE.
The Police on Track of the Man who
Shot Him.

Harris Ellis, who got bullet in the
lung in the Sackville row Saturday night,
is likely to make die of it. He was
reported last night as resting easy, but
his chances of recovery are very small
Ellis was shot by Jesse Hanbury
Although the affair occurred outside the
city limits Chief McDermott is endeaVor-
ing to effect the arrest of Hanbury and
the other participants in the row. He
was informed yesterday that an effort was
being made by all the parties concerned
to patch the matter up, which has gone
to the extent of calling a peace confer
ence the object of which is to get the
offenders to agree to pay the medical ex-
penses of the sufferers. If Ellis dies
as is very likely, the peace conference
will not benefit him much, unless his STAY
er paws the funeral EXPENSES.

nor exacting, there will be no calling.
The doors of society will be more
tightly shut than ever, and even the
daintily ribboned basket at the door
bell will be missing, for the whole
custom of exchanging greetings on
the advent of the New Year is dead
beyond the hope of resuscitation.
And it is an end which no sensible
person regrets. What abuses it led to,
what disgraceful scenes it rendered
possible, what social outrages it sane
toned or tolerated, and how silly and
disgusting it all became before soci-
ETY. resolved to crush it out. The life
of this deceased social function may
be said to be coexistent with the life
of the republic. AS it existed in the
eerlier days it was, no doubt, both a
pleasurable and profitable custom. It
had it's origin in France, but the Gus
ton became fully ingrafted upon the
American social fabric during the last
years of the preceding century. New
York and the cities of the south we're
where it was clung to most tenacious
ly. The Puritans of New England
paid little or no attention to the New
Years amenities. Thanksgiving day
was their day, and they had as little
use for New Years dsy as for Christ
mas. And the same may be said of
the Quakers in Philadelphia, with
whom the custom of New Years call
ing never did obtain general or cor
dial recognition. But among the de-
scendants of the Dutch in New York
and New Jersey and the cavaliers of
Virginia the social functions of the
new year we're never lost sight of, and
from them the custom spread to all
portions of the country.-Ex.

SWISS CHRISTMAS DINNER.
Roast Goose Occupies the Place of
Honor.

In this beautiful country, where the
laws and the customs vary in every
canton, the mistress of the kitchen has
wide variety of German, italian and
French cooking to select from. But
on Christmas day, although all these
styles may be united on one table,
there is an invariable although un-
written law that roast goose will be
the chief dish. The dessert is mar
velous mixture of Swiss confectioner-
les, comprehending everything from
little cocoanut cakes to elaborate
structures of -four and sugar inter-
spersed with all sorts of nuts and
small fruits.
But between the opening goose and
the closing patisserie is introduced the
really national Christmas dish called
the Geneva frittefs. These fritters
are made after the following recipe:
Put into saucepan dozen pears
cut into quarters and the cores taken
out, with enough water to cover them.
Let them stew till they are quite ten
der, when the water will have evapor-
ated. Put them into a colander and
crush them with wooden spoon. Add
half their weight of sugar, a little
lemon and pinch of powdered Gin
namon. Put the saucepan on the fire
for eight or ten minutes and then let
it cool. Take two handfuls of raisins,
seed them and put them on the fire
with enough water to soften them,
then add them to the above, with a
little glass of rum or kirsch.
Take thin -four paste for dozen
pears of moderate size and make them
into roll about the circumference of
dollar, cover half the surface of the
paste with marmalade and cut the frit-
ters into convenient sizes. Serve with
the yolks of eggs, after cooking them
before hot fire and powdering them
with sugar.

knives. The whole remaining portion
of Christmas day, it is stated, was
spent by many of them in the public
houses. The justice before whom the
matter was heard was of the opinion
that this custom was not sustainable

had received no sufficient evidence
that the custom could be considered
as charitable donation the continu-
