REV. DR.. MARX WILL COME.
To Perform Marriage Ceremony for
Members of MicIxva Israel

Rev. DR.. Marx of Atlanta, pastor of
the Synagogue of that city, is expect
ed in Savannah within a day or two
to perform one or more marriages, that
are to take place among members of
the congregation of Temple Mickva
Israel In letter to friend in Sa-
vannah, DR.. Marx has expressed him
self as more than pleased if he can
be of service to DR.. Mendes in any
way.
There was no change in the condl-
ton of DR.. Mendes, yesterday, indeed
none can be noted until the bandages
are removed from his eyes, which will
not be for some time yet. 1t is hoped
by that time there will be some i'm
provement. It is possible that DIR. Cal
houn may then come to see the patient
1t is possible by that time it may be-
come evident whether there is hope of
cure for Dr. Mendes and how long
it will take. Until this question is
settled nothing will be done in regard
to securing a pastor to carry on the
work of the Temple, though those
chiefly interested in the affairs of the
congregation have discussed the ad-
visibility of securing a young man
either to carry on the work or to assist
Rev. DIR. MendeS.

Cooler Conditions VIII Prevail by
Night.
Although yesterday was like unto
spring day and continued pleasant
last night. the weather prophets an
nounce that the mercury will fall
again to-day and by night colder con-
ditions will prevail over this city and
section with light west winds. We'd
nesday will be fair and probably
warmer.
Despite the fact that the past sew
eral days have been cool and even
freezing the temperature as reported
by Local Forecaster Boyer at O'Clock
yesterday afternoon was still about SO
degrees above the normal for the
month of December.
The following is the official report
OF conditions existing throughout the
country yesterday:
During the past twenty-four hours
decided warming has been recorded
over most of the country east of the
Mississippi. This rise in temperature
has been caused by a storm area CEN
trail near Lake Superior and a sec
ondary" storm center in Mississippi.
Between the Mississippi and Rockies
1t is colder, materially so in Texas.
Since Sunday morning there has been
precipitation throughout the entire
central valleys-rain over the southern
and snow over the northern districts,
and 1t is now showing at Buffalo,
Pittsburg, Cleveland, Detroit and
Cincinnati, and raining at Meridian,
Atlanta, Montgomery and Knoxville.
High northerly winds have been ex-
perienced at a number of stations in
Texas. The atmosphere is heaviest
over the Middle Atlantic coast and the
Rocky Mountain plateau.

STABBED IN THE BACK.

Mamie Crosby, young negro wom-
an, was stabbed in the back last night
while walking along Montgomery
street. near Huntingdon. She heard
some one coming behind her and the
next thing she knew a knife was
thrust into her back. That, at least,
is the story the young woman told her
mother Those who heard 1t, how
ever, were inclined to think Mamie
didn't tell things just as they We're.
She said she did not see her assailant
and had no idea who stabbed her. The
knife cut through her clothing and
into the flesh slightly, but the wound
was not deep enough to be at all dan
gerous. though II gave Mamie a chance
TO imagine she had been nearly killed.
After going 10 her mothers house she
went TO a physician who dressed the
wound and told her to go home and
stay there.

SPECIFIC TAX BOOKS
WILL CLOSE TOMORROW.

The registration books for specific
taxes will close tomorrow in the
Ordinarys office. OF the $50 dealers
in Chatham county in articles sub
ject to the tax, not more than half
have registered, and it is probable
that to-day and tomorrow there will
be a rush in the Office of those who
have put off the registration until the
last day.
The tax collector has been engaged
for the last ten days in reducing aun-
paid taxes to execution, so that the
sheriff may collect the large amount
due by defaulters. This amounts to
nearly $4,000. This work has now
been about completed, and on Friday
the tax collector will turn his atten-
ton to the matter of specific taxes.
Those who do not pay this tax, violate
the law by continuing their business,
and those who do not register are
liable to indictment by the grand jury,
the law authorizing the tax collector
to furnish the grand jury with the
names of all persons doing business
without having first paid their specific
tax.
Next Tuesday the tax collector will
turn over to the city authorities the
lists of the qualified voters The re-
gistration books have been purged by
the Board of Registrars, and the classi-
fication of the list. and the equal d.
vision by districts. is now being eff
fected. This classification is awaited
every year with interest, especially
among the politicians.

PURE GEORGIA CANE SYRUP
Distributed BY DIR. III. w. Wiley to
Those who Have Helped His Work.


Some ninety gallons of pure Georgia
cane syrup were presented as many diff
ferent gentlemen in Savannah yester-
day. The syrup was sent out in one
gallon cans and each can was accom-
panied by the following note from Capt.
ID. G. Purse, which is self explanatory:
with the compliments of the season,
permit me on, behalf of DR.. Fl. w.
Wiley, Chief, Bureau of Chemistry, De-
partment of Agriculture, in recogni-
ton of your many courtesies in aid of
his work. to ask your acceptance of
the accompanying can of pure Georgia
cane syrup, first fruits of his valuable
services in promotion of the syrup in
dustry of the South under the auspices
and patronage of the Federal Govern
ment, and illustrating the preliminary
work at station for experiments, re-
Gently located at Guyton."
Those to whom the syrup was given
are those who have been of assistance
to DR.. Wiley when, with Capt. Purse,
he visited the various cane growing
parts of Georgia and Florida. The
syrup, which is of unusual fine quality
was made on the place of Mr.. ]. T.
Wells. 1t proved a most acceptable
present wherever received.

But Ii Served to Call Out Engine Co.
No. 4.
Engine Company No was called out
yesterday afternoon to extinguish
grass fire near the Standard Oil Works,
which had been set by boys. Consid-
cradle complaint is being made about
boys setting grass on fire and causing
the fire department to turn out, and
unless it is stopped they are likely to
get themselves in trouble.
The calling out of firemen for un-
necessary purposes is a thing that
should never be done, as the firemen,
rushing through the streets with heavy
apparatus, not only endangers the
lives of citizens, but endangers the
lives and safety of the men, horses
and apparatus, to say nothing of the
trouble they are put to in getting out
and back into their engine houses,

NEW INVENTIONS IN CANS;
PROMISING INDUSTRY

Mr.. w. H. Morehouse Is manufac-
turing in West Savannah a moisture
proof paper-tinfoil can, intended as a
substitute for the ordinary tin can.
which he has patented and which he
thinks will revolutionize can-making
in many lines of business.
The tinfoil can is made with an or
binary tin top and bottom, but differs
from the present style of tin can in
the construction of the body, which
consists of a sheet of tinfoil between
and firmly adherent to two sheets of
heavy cardboard. In other words, in
forming the body of the tinfoil can
two sheets of cardboard and one sheet
of tinfoil, ingeniously rolled, are sub
stituted for one sheet of tin plate.
The can is freer from leaks, more
uniform in size, lighter in weight, can
be labelled by machinery, and can be
made at saving of % per cent. thus
making it more desirable, and effect
ing a great economy in the cost 1t
was originally designed for dry SUBJ
stances, requiring a moisture-proof
package, such as baking powder
roasted coffee, snuff and the like, but
recent experiments indicate that it
can be successfully adapted to the
packing of canned meats, syrups, lard
azle-grease, backing, blueing and the
like, and possibly liquids.
MIR. Morehouse experimental in a
practical way with the tinfoil can for
nearly a year before making appli-
cation for letters of patent, which
were granted July %, 1901. He after
wards had conducted by Prof. Fl. c.
White of Athens, ex-state chemist
and professor of chemistry at the State
University, exhaustive laboratory ex-
periments covering q period of three
months.
After carefully testing the merits of
the tinfoil can in comparison with the
tin can, Prof. White certified that
careful experiments made by me in
dictate the tinfoil can is slightly SUI
perior to the ordinary tin can in pre-
venting deterioration with age of any
dry substance packed therein"

strating its worth, II became necessary

since which time his output has been
taken by several leading Southern
manufacturers, and one Northern

present limited, but he will soon take

which he has had Inquiries from all
