EVANGELIST GALES ON SIN.
He Gives a Pointed Talk to Young
Men.

Evangelist Gales held the closest atten-
ton of large audience of men at the
Y. NJ. c. A. last night, while ne discours-
ed on "Naaman, a Soldier in Peril His
talk was based on the fifth chapter of Sec
ond Kings. first to the nineteenth verses,
where Naaman is told by a little maid to
go to Elisha, who would cure him of his
leprosy, but, upon being told what to do
to be cured, he refused to accept the con-
ditions presented to him.
First" said Mr.. Gales, Il want to cell
your attention to the high place held by
this man. Matthew Henry says: The
meanest beggar in the land would not
have traded skins with him. There are
to-day men and women in high life, Gull
tured and proud, with whom some poor
child of God would not change places for
the world"
In tracing the analogy between Naa-
mans condition and the sinner, one must
look, the evangelist said, in the light OF
the Gospel, for, as some ancient writings
must be put under strong Light to onng
them out, so Old Testament teaching Is
fairly illumined by the light of the Gospel
Leprosy, he said, was a type of SIN. IL
is loathsome, separating and infectious; SO
is sin; how loathsome it makes the heart
and often the outer life; ii fills the Jalls
ana prisons. and separates one from Goa.
Naaman set out to seek a cure; he expect
ed to pay for it, so it is with many per
sons to-day; because they are not cured
of their sin according TO preconcelved
idea, they do not think that Christ has
appeared to them. 1t is like the rich Wo-
man who did not want to be converted IN
the same way that her coachman was.
I'VE note again. said Mr.. Gales, that
Naaman was not healed until he laid down
his prejudice and self VIII. Mark the
change, cure complete, gratitude awakened
and he confessed to the God of Israel"
The solo sung by Mr.. House, was very
much enjoyed.
In the afternoon, the evangelist gave a
very instructive. as well as interesting
chalk talk to the boys on Three Worlds. -
Tonight he speaks to men on the subject,
Escape For Thy Life"

held at the following homes, at IL o'clock:

SCARED BY VACCINATION.
Young Turner's Death Caused Fear
Among Many People.

The death of Albert NJ. Turner for a
time thought to be due to blood poisoning,
as a result of vaccination, produced a gen.
uine scare among a large number of people
afflicted with sore arms on this account.
Probably the case in which the most con-
Germ was manifested, was that of woman
who called at Health officer LeHardy's Of
flee early yesterday morning. She had her
baby along and told the health officer in a
pitiful manner that her child had been
vaccinated and she feared it had blood poi
soning The belief which started, that
young Turner's death was attributable to
this cause, reached the womans ears. and
she was almost frantic in her eagerness for
DR.. LeHardy to examine the child and as
certain if there were any symptoms of
blood poisoning. This was done and demon
strated the woman was only excited, the
child1s arm being in the best condition and
healing up nicely.
There was also a slight fear among en-
ployes of the PLANT System, many of
whom recently underwent vaccination. 1t
was suppressed, however, as no one de-
sired to stand in the light of being scared.
DT. mig w Sliys the pflS VINO vac
cinated young Turner, was seen by a
Morning News reporter, and stated in re-
gard to the Turner case, that there was
no blood poisoning. He said he and DIR.
Charlton diagnosed the case and found it
to be typhoid fever. Turner was kept
from his duties short time on account of
the swelling in his arm, but this all passed
away, Dr. Wyily says, and the young man
returned to his work.
1t was a mistaken idea about the blood
poisoning, which was impossible he said
for the reason the vaccine points used
in the operation were obtained from the
National vaccine farms, located near
Washington, and this fact was sufficient
to warrant their genuineness. They were
the best in the world, he said, and were
from Jersey cattle.
Even if there had been any poisoning,
the physicians think it could not possibly
be attributable to the impurity of the vac
cine points. They say the poisoning would
have to come from some other source
| They insist the young mans death was
from the fever and DR.. Wylly thought the
blood poisoning theory preposterous.

COLD CALLS FCR CHARITY.
Relief Agent Wnkelee Has Had a
Rush OF Applicants for Aid.

The recent cold days have given a de-
cided stimulus to the demand on the Chari-
table Association for wood, coal and food
supplies. Little difficulty is experienced, dis
pensing rations now, however, as Relief
Agent Wakelee is familiar with the appli-
Giants and knows pretty we'll who is de-
serving and who not. 5.-
One trouble found by the agent is where
some make a business of calling daily for
supplies, with no evidences of a cessation.
In some cases this cannot be avoided and
the only thing the association can do is to
use discretion. There was one case recent
ly where a woman called for aid and when
1t was refused for good reason. she pro-
ceeded to bless the association with a sup
ply of epithets which had evidently been
laid on the shelf for an emergency
The board in charge feels that 1t has no
reason for complaint and is fully satisfied
with the progress being made by Mr.
Wakelee IN his work. Satisfactory collec-
lions are being made, and it is well settled
that the future of the association is one
of much usefulness.

MONKEYS FOR FORSYTH PARK.
A Pair of Them Shipped from Ecu
dor by Consul General De Leon

Pair of Them Shipped from Ecu
Two monkeys are on their way to Sa-
vannah from Ecuador, aboard the steam
err Capac, and on arriving will be Gagged
as curiosities in Forsyth Park
The animals are gift from Consul Cen
eral Perry NJ. de Leon, who wrote Mayor
Meldrim, saying he shipped them from
Guayaquil, Ecuador, and that they were
for the amusement of the little ones who
frequent the park. He advised that iarge
cage be constructed for them, and that
they be properly protected from cold.
For further particulars" the letter says.
'see Mr.. Joe Hull, in whose care 1 sent
them"
In referring the matter to DIR. George
H. Stone, chairman of the Park and Tree
Commission, Mayor Meldrim said he trust
ed the monkeys would be the only ones
on the commission, DR.. Stone was in turn
puzzled when he received the Mayor 3
communication in reference to the mon
keys.
1.-THE Mayors letter stated that there
were two monkeys, soon to arrive in Sa-
vannah. That seemed strange to me-
very strange-to be sending monkeys
from Ecuador. l didn't know whether
there were really two monkeys coming or
the Mayor was just trying to monkey
with the commissioners. But the new
corners will certainly be deprived of one
thing. They doubtless have roamed their
native jungles and prided themselves IL,
their freedom, but they needn't come to
Savannah with the idea they will be the
first monkeys who ever set foot in For
syth Park"
Dr. Stone says if the animals are of any
size the Park and Tree Commission will
construct a substantial iron cage and
make a permanent home for them in the
park.

NOT TO COME UP NOW.
Jefferson Street Paving Cases to Go
Over to the Mapch Term.

The Jefferson street property owners
held a meeting yesterday afternoon at the
Office of Messrs Saussy & Saussy, it be-
ing expected that the Jefferson street paw
ing cases would come up on Monday. They
were called together to be informed of the
status of affairs, and to give in their state
ments as to the amounts claimed from
them by the city.
The case, however, will not come up at
that time. 1t has been agreed between
Messrs. Saussy & Saussy, for the defend
ants, and Mr.. S. B. Adams, representing
the city, that the cases shall go over to
the March term of court on account of
other important business engagements.
These cases present many interesting
points. The ordinance for the repairing
of jefferson street was not passed until
sometime after the city had advertised for
bids for Belgian block, and had actually
accepted the bid Of Messrs. Venable Bros.
Then the street was repaved after
being paved only few years
before. Another feature is the
charge made per front tfoot against
those whose property really fronts on 9TH
err streets. The cases will undoubtedly
occupy sometime in their consideration be-
fore the courts.

COlOred Woman COlIided With
Dray and Had Driver Arrested.

The progress in cycling among the col
ored people was shown sn Police Court
yesterday when Eliza Charlton, a 40-year
old negro woman, prosecuted a man who
ran into her and her bike at Bryan and
Farm streets, damaging the wheel
Eliza seems to have been spinning down
Bryan street at a lively rate. and, on
reaching Farm street, had head-end col
lision withH MeArdles dray, which turn
ed into Bryan street from Farm. The
result was small-sized smash up in
which the cyclst was thrown to the
ground and slightly bruised though the
damage consisted more in losing the
wheel.
After picking herself up and leaving
the place, Eliza thought it best to put
McArde on the information docket for
reckless driving. This was done and
the Recorder heard the case in connection
with other cases on that docket.
McArdle vindicated himself to some ex-
tent by telling the court the horse could
only go about mile in twenty-four hours
and that 1t was folly to charge him with
driving at a reckless rate.
Makes no difference" chimed in Eliza.
"You have damaged the bike and 1 want
that horse in payment for it,"
THE horse is not worth enough to
pay for any bikes. 1 only gave S12 for ii,
said McArdle.
That doesn't make any difference-I
will just take the horse" persisted the
woman.
1.-THE horse is not paid for" McArdle
said, and that settled the matter.

SUED THE WRONG COMPANY.

In the case of S. c. Catherwood agains,
the Savannah, Thunderbolt and Isle of
Hope Railway Company, brought through
Messrs, Garrard, Meldrim & Newman.
for damages for the killing of the son
of the plaintiff by a car on the Abercorn
street line some months ago, an answer
was filed in the City Court yesterday by
Messrs. Barrow & Osborne, stating that
the defendant company operates no line
of railroad on Abercorn street, and is nor
responsible for the acts or deeds of any
other person or corporation.
1t seems that the accident happened on
the line of the City and Suburban Rail-
way Company, and suit will have to be
brought against that corporation. The
answer, nevertheless, denies all of those
paragraphs of the petition. in which il is
alleged that the accident was due to care
lessness and negligence on the part of the
company.

What Spain's Misrule Means.

Prior to the last revolutionary out
break the amount Of yearly tribute
which Cuba was forced to- pay into the
treasury Of Spain fell little short of the
average sum of S25, 900, 600. In view OF
the comparatively small number of peo-
pie living in Cuba the enormous burden
entailed upon them by this exacton be-
comes az once apparent. In 1884 Spain
extorted from Cuba in the way of rev.
enues the outrageous sum of S34, 269, 40.
She applied Sl2, 81, ,4S5 Of the money
thus collected to the payment of
old military debts incurred in sub
DUNG popular outbreaks in Cuba;
s., 904, 0S4 to the use of the war
department in carrying out need
ed improvements, end S14, 595, O9G to
the layment of salaries, pensions, etc,
to Spanish officers and clergymen. Ont
of the immense revenue collected from
Cuba in 1884, only 81, 1856. 745 returned
to Cuba in the way of benefits. This
fact in itself, without the prolonged ef-
fusion OF blood which drenched Cuba's
soil in consequence of her effort to free
herself, more than vindicates the rig ht-
eousness of that cause which the Uni
ted States has assumed in undertaking
to expel Spain from the western hsmls-
phere.

Use of Electricity in Agriculture.

Milton Whitney, chief OF the divis-
ion of soils of the department of agri-
culture, in his annual report to the
secretary says: ''The electrical method
of moisture determination has been
still further perfected. Sixteen sta
tions have been equipped with cleo
trical instruments in various parts of
the country, and in several impol tant
types of soil. Records have been kept
at these stations for periods varying
from two to four months, and it has
been found that the method can be
used by any one with ordinary care.
As a result of these field records, I
feel perfectly satisfied with the opera
tions OF the method, and equally sat
isied that it will prove Of great value
in soil Investigations, as we'll as of
practical and commercial value. One
great value Of the method is that the
electrodes are permanently buried in
the field, at Any depth desired, and
the field can be cultivated OF cropped
as usual The electrical resistance
between the electrodes is read from q
scale, and this resistance varies ac-
cording to the square of the water
contents. BY once thoroughly STAN
dardizing the electrodes and by the
use of tables furnished by the divis-
ion, the moisture contents of the soil
can be determined at any time from
the electrical resistance of the soil. :"

Notifies in Butter.

. One of the small troubles dalrymen
have to meet is. known as mottles, and
is caused mainly by the use Of too cold
water in washing the butter and by
the manner in which it is introduced
into the churn. By %he use of water
too cold, the outside of the butter
granules becomes hardened while the
inside is soft and remains so despite
working or tempering with salt, leav-
ing the fine thread-like streaks IN the
butter that are so Objectionable. The
water should be introduced into the

The usual method of Introducing cold
water into churn foreibly, through q

large mottles, which are caused by the
water striking the granules of butter

break up. These are comparatively
small things, but large enough to fire.
