GOEBEL DIES FROM WOUND
Brave Man Succumbs After Long and Heroic Struggle With Grim Reaper.
VOL. XV.
THE END WAS PEACEFUL
Beckham Is Immediately Sworn In as Democratic Governor of Kentucky.
A Frankfort special says: The bullet fired by an unknown assassin Tuesday morning, January 29th, ended in the life of General Goebel at 6:45 o'clock Saturday evening. The only persons present at the deathbed were Goebel's sister, Mrs. Braunacker, and his brother, Arthur Goebel, of Cincinnati, who had been in constant attendance at Governor Goebel's bedside.
Justus Goebel, another brother, who had been hurrying from Arizona as fast as steam would carry him in a vain hope of reaching his dying brother in time for some token of recognition, arrived forty minutes too late. Oxygen was frequently administered the dying man during the afternoon in an effort to keep him alive at least until his brother's arrival, but in vain. By the cruel irony of fate the train on which Justus Goebel was traveling to Frankfort was delayed several hours from various causes, and when Mr. Goebel finally reached the city it was only to learn that his brother was dead.
SUPPERS RELAPSE.
Governor Goebel's condition Friday night and well into the morning was considered so much improved that for the first time since he was shot down in front of the courthouse, hopes were entertained of his ultimate recovery. About noon Saturday Governor Goebel had a relapse and steadily grew weaker with each hour. There was practically no rally from that time until his death. At 2:50 p. m. Goebel's physicians had abandoned hope. Efforts were then made to keep him alive until his brother from Arizona could arrive. Among bitter partisans of both parties deep grief is manifested, and already a movement has been started to erect a fitting monument for Governor Goebel's memory on the spot in the state house grounds where he was shot.
Within a few moments the following announcement had been prepared and was silently handed about hotel and in the streets:
ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE.
To the People of Kentucky—It is with profound sorrow that we announce the death of Governor William Goebel. In his last moments he counseled his friends to keep cool and bow to the law in all things. We, his his friends and advisers, beg of the people of Kentucky, in this hour of affliction, to carefully abstain from any act of violence or any resort to mob law. It would be his wish if he were alive that there should be absolutely no stain on his memory by any imprudent act of any who were his friends. The law is supreme and must in time be re-established and all wrongs he and his party have suffered will find their proper redress.

This was the first intelligence given the public of the death of Mr. Goebel.
DECKHAM SWORN IN.
Exactly one hour after the death of Mr. Goebel, Acting Governor J. C. W. Beckham was sworn in as governor of the state, the oath being administered by S. J. Shackelford, clerk of the court of appeals.
It had been determined to keep secret the news of the death of Governor Goebel until Lieutenant Governor Beckham should have been formally inducted into office, and the delay was made greater by the inability
Will Cost 6,000 Men.
Major Bathurst, who was wounded at the battle of Colenso, arrived at Southampton Saturday on board the Servia. He says there are 20,000 Boers at the Tugela river, but that General Buller can get through if he is prepared to sacrifice 5,000 or 6,000 men.
790 Bodies From Manila.
A cable from Manila received from the quartermaster's department states that the Hancock sailed for San Francisco on January 19, with the bodies of 462 dead soldiers. The Indiana is expected in immediately with 200 bodies and the Ohio with 138 arrived at San Francisco last Friday.
SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1900.
of Dr. McCormick to leave the bedroom of Governor Goebel and make the proper certificate of death. Until this had been done, the Democratic attorneys were unwilling that the oath of office should be administered. The ceremony took place in a small room on the same floor as that in which Governor Goebel died, and but a few doors to the west of it. In the room at the time of the administration of the oath were Senator-elect Blackburn, Colonel Bennett H. Young, Colonel Philip Thompson, Eph Lillard, J. H. Illis, Lieutenant L. E. McKay, S. J. Shackelford, clerk of the court of appeals; Dr. P. W. Wells, Colonel Harry McKay, Colonel Jack Chinn, Kit Chinn, Dr. McCormick, Joseph Blackburn, Jr., and three representatives of the press.
The first official action of the new Democratic governor was the appointment of a new adjutant general and his last as acting governor was an order removing Adjutant General Collier and Assistant Adjutant General Dickson. The new governor seemed to be deeply affected by the position in which circumstances had placed him, and he did not reveal much joy over the congratulations which those in the room showered upon him, although he accepted them gratefully. Saturday night Governor Beekham issued a proclamation announcing the death of Governor Goebel.
HEADQUARTERS AT LOUISVILLE.
Louisville is to be the seat temporarily at least, of the Democratic state government of Kentucky. Governor Beckham and several of his chief advisers reached that city Sunday, and it is the purpose to make Louisville the headquarters of the executive and legislative branches of the state government as long as the presence of troops keeps them from Frankfort or until the present conflict of authority in the state is settled.
TEMPORARY INJUNCTION
Saturday morning Judge Cautrell, of the circuit court at Frankfort, granted a temporary injunction restraining Governor Taylor from interfering with the meetings of the legislature and from removing the seat of the legislature to London, Ky. The temporary injunction is to remain binding until February 8, when the hearing to make it permanent will be heard before Judge Cautrell at Georgetown, Ky. No attempt will be made to secure personal service of the writ of injunction upon Governor Taylor.
Immediately after the issuance of the writ Judge Cantrell instructed Sheriff Suter, of Franklin county, to make no effort to present the order of court. The judge directed that it be allowed to remain binding without service, because of the danger threatening the man who should undertake the task and the results that might ensue owing to the excited state of the public mind.
BIG DAMAGE SUIT ENDED.
Bucki Lumber Company, In Florida, Wins a Large Verdict.
One of the longest trials ever held in the United States court at Jacksonville, Fla., was determined late Saturday evening by a verdict in which the plaintiff was given damages.
The case was that of L. Bucki & Son Lumber company against the Fidelity and Deposit company, of Maryland, and action was for damages alleged to have arisen from issuing of two attachments against the property of the plaintiffs in Jacksonville more than two years ago. After the trial, which began on January 18th, the jury returned a verdict giving the plaintiff damages for a sum of $10,880 and allowance for solicitor's fees of $7,500.
TAYLOR HAS OPERATORS.
Telegraph Instruments In Executive Chamber At Frankfort.
A Frankfort dispatch says: Governor Taylor has provided against the delay and inconvenience of receiving and sending telegrams in his present exclusive quarters by means of messengers. He has had two wires run into his office and has his own operators within the office.
Public Buildings for South.
The senate committee on public buildings and grounds has authorized favorable reports on the bills authorizing public buildings at Selma, Ala., and Natchez, Miss., each to cost $100,000.
AT COVINGTON.
The Remains of Gov. Goebel at Home--A Rebuke to L. & N. By Dead Man's Friends.
The Goebel funeral train arrived at Covington, Ky., at 8 o'clock Tuesday morning from Frankfort. It consisted of a baggage car with the casket and floral tributes, a coach for the pallbearers, judges of the appellate court, legislative committee and others, and a Pullman with the relatives.
It was an impressive scene when the casket was removed from the Capitol hotel at Frankfort. The hearse, followed by carriages and many pedestrians, proceeded under the electric lights to the special train which left at 4 a.m. on the mournful journey.
Although the train made no stops except at junctions, yet there were groups at the stations along the way to see it even in the darkness of the wintry morning.
The only railway that runs through Covington and Frankfort, the Louisville and Nashville, is credited with opposing Goebel. At any rate, those in charge of the arrangements insisted on Goebel's remains being carried from the capital to his home without traveling over any of the rails of the Louisville and Nashville.
This bit of sentiment caused the special to be run into Cincinnati on the Queen and Crescent. After crossing the Cincinnati Southern bridge the train was run around through the yards of one railway into the yards of another railway in Cincinnati and transferred back into Kentucky over the Chesapeake and Ohio bridge, and thus reached the Chesapeake and Ohio depot in Covington. This route by train involved about twenty miles of additional travel and half of this distance was through the railway yards in Cincinnati.
The demonstration in honor of Goebel in the city and county, which he had represented in the state senate for twelve years, was peculiar and simple. A large detail of police was stationed about the depot and another detail kept the streets clear from the depot to the Old Fellows' hall, where the body lay in state. While the demonstration was participated in by both city and county officials, yet the common people made up the long line of the procession. At no time during the forenoon was there any cessation of the current of people passing the catalague.
Later in the day excursionists reached the city from adjoining counties. Many crossed the bridges from Cincinnati, and the attendance from Bellevue, Dayton, Fort Thomas, Ludlow, the Highland and other Kentucky suburbs was very large. The remains lay in state in Covington until 10 p. m., and then they were placed in charge of the guard during the night and conveyed back to Frankfort by special train Wednesday morning, to lie in state until the funeral.
BOARD ABOLISHED.
South Carolina Dispensary Rules Radically Changed.
The South Carolina state board of liquor control is to be abolished and the management of the dispensary to be radically changed. The senate bill to provide a new system of government was passed in the house Tuesday and Governor McSweeney will approve the act.
The vote in the house was 77 to 24 in favor of abolishing the board. The action of the general assembly is the result of dissatisfaction all over the state caused by lack of harmony in the present board. There were no charges of open dishonesty in the speeches, but it was plainly asserted that the factional fight among the members on the board had hurt the state.
BRYAN'S TOUR OF NEW ENGLAND.
Brought to a Close at Hartford and Bridgeport, Conn.
Thursday night William J. Bryan finished the work for which his New England trip was undertaken. He delivered two long addresses. Tuesday afternoon in Hartford he spoke to an audience of 3,800. He took occasion to rap the knuckles of the insurance and manufacturing capitalists of the capital city, "the splendidly wealthy city of Hartford," as he put it.
In Bridgeport he was wildly acclaimed upon his arrival, and later he spoke to an audience which taxed to its utmost the largest theater in the city.
ROBERTS OFFERS AMNESTY.
Transvaalers and Free Staters Have Chance to "Give Up." A London special says: Lord Roberts has caused to be distributed in the towns bordering upon the invaded colonial territory an invitation to Free Staters and Transvaalers to go into the desert, offering them good treatment and a restoration to their farms on the British occupation of republican territory. The manifesto guarantees that those bringing horses can sell them. Foreigners will have their passages paid to Europe. Colonial rebels are advised to surrender in preference to being taken prisoners.
AGREEMENT DRAWN UP
Looking to a Settlement of the Troubles In Kentucky.
Republicans and Democrats Get Together and Work For Peace and Harmony.
A special from Louisville says: Shortly after midnight Monday night, the Republican and Democratic conferences, in session at the Galt house, came to an agreement. A tenographer was summoned and a document was drawn up for the signatures of the participants in the conference.
If the agreement drawn up at the conference is accepted and carried out, the strife which has rent Kentucky from end to end for the past few weeks will be ended.
Drawing up and signing the agreement was slow work, and it was after 2 o'clock Tuesday morning when the conferences separated.
The Democrata gained nearly every point they contended for, and the Republican representatives, Lieutenant Governor John Marshall, General Dan Lindsey and Attorney David Farligh, gave assurances that the agreement would be accepted by Governor Taylor.
The argument provided that in order to leave no question as to the title of William Goebel and J. C. W. Beckham to the offices of governor and lieutenant governor, respectively, the general assembly shall pass a resolution in joint assembly validating the acts on that subject since the legislature has been prevented by troops from holding its regular session at Frankfort.
As soon as the legislature should do this Beckham's title to the office of governor was not to be questioned.
The Democrats grant immunity to Governor Taylor and his associates from prosecution for treason, usurpation of office, or contempt of court for what has been done since the shooting of Goebel. These matters are to be held in abeyance for a week.
According to the terms of the agreement the Republican legislature was to be withdrawn from London immediately, and no filibustering or other attempts of this character were to be resorted to by the Republicans to obstruct the carrying of this agreement in the legislature.
The Democrats suggested that in view of the great crowds expected in Frankfort during the Goebel funeral ceremonies the soldiers should be withdrawn. The Republicans asked that an adequate guard be left to protect Governor Taylor and his associates. It was finally agreed to leave to General Dan Lindsey, one of the Republican conferees, the decision as to how many troops should be left to prevent a clash as a result of the Goebel funeral, other troops
It was agreed that the board of election commissioners sitting as a contest board should be allowed to meet at Frankfort without molestation, the Democrats agreeing that no summary action be taken on these contests and that nothing be done without due hearing of evidence and argument.
TO CHANGE GOEBEL LAW.
The Republicans asked that some provision for a repeal or modification of the Goebel election law be included in the agreement. The Democrats agreed that to two leading Republicans and two leading Democrats should be left the matter of suggesting changes in the Goebel law believed to be wise.
The acceptance of the agreement by the principals was the only element of uncertainty remaining in the situation when the conference ended.
It is probable that the Republican policy was materially influenced by the following telegram:
"WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 4.—Hon. W. S. Taylor: The unanimous sentiment here is that you are wrong in preventing the legislature from meeting, and that you should submit the disputed question to the civil courts. Federal assistance cannot be given you on your requisition so long as the legislature is in session or can be convened. There is no doubt but it can be convened if you will permit. The Democrats intend that if any violence occurs, you shall be the aggressor. You will by forcible resistance alienate all who formerly sympathized with your case. No assistance. Answer. W. J. D. Boz."

WALKER LIBERATED
Conflict Between Civil and Military Authority Averted.
TAYLOR IGNORED HABEAS CORPUS
In the Meantime He Releases Prisoner of His Own Volition and Affair Blows Over.
A Frankfort special says: Governor Taylor Saturday afternoon refused to acknowledge the existence or permit the service of a writ of habeas corpus issued by Judge Moore, of the county court. Taylor thus tacitly suspended the writ of habeas corpus in the courts of Franklin county for the release of Alonzo Walker, a stenographer, who was arrested and put into confinement after pinning a notice of writ of injunction on Governor Taylor's chambers in the executive building. Something which, under the constitution of the state of Kentucky, cannot be done legally except in cases of rebellion or invasion. When Sheriff Suter returned his writ unserved to Judge Moore, the latter announced that he would see that the sheriff was given power sufficient to enforce the mandate of his court. In so declaring he used the following words:
"No attempt will be made to enforce the writ until Monday. At that time another demand will be made for the body of Alonzo Walker, and if it is refused, a sufficient number of men will be given to Sheriff Suter from Franklin county and adjourning counties, as well, to enable him to take possession of the capitol grounds and carry out the purpose of the writ."
Thus civil and military authority in Kentucky came face to face at last and unless the ministers of one or the other should recede from the positions they occupied there could be but one outcome, and that was civil war.
WALKER RELEASED.
Such a crisis, however, was averted when Governor Taylor, Sunday morning, ordered the release of Walker. While not recognizing in his action the existence of the writ of habeas corpus which had been sworn out in behalf of Walker, Governor Taylor, by releasing the man, removed the most threatening sign of trouble. The commanding officers of the troops which guard the capitol grounds are careful to say that the situation is entirely a military, affair, and that they extend the writ of habeas corpus very little consideration, but whether they regard it or not, Walker is free, and Sheriff Suter will not be called upon to summon force in the attempt to secure his release.
The appalling consequences which would follow such an effort on the part of the sheriff were too much for the more conservative members of the Democratic party, and it was decided Sunday that no matter what Judge Moore should say as an individual, there would be no attempt to take possession of the capitol grounds by force of arms.
When Walker was released notice was served upon him that the charge against him was still pending, and could be pushed at any time if the military authorities should so decide. Various rumors were circulated in regard to the reasons for the sudden release of Mr. Walker, among them being a report that his release, by order of Governor Taylor, was in deference to a telegram from Washington advising his discharge.
Governor Taylor was top busy to be seen in regard to the matter, but Adjutant General Collier emphatically denied that any such reason existed for Walker's release.
WATTERSON BLAMES L. & N.
Attributes Kentucky Troubles to Railroad's Manipulation of Politics.
Henry Watterson, editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal, has given out a statement which in part says:
"The head and front of our present troubles in Kentucky, at once the source and the resource of the revolutionary proceeding by which Republican government has been for the time being struck down and a military dictatorship set up in its place, is the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company.
"In the recent state campaign it supplied material resources in such abundance as to draw out all the dangerous elements of society and to put into activity all the forces of political adventure. The two leading parties to the contest were as nothing by comparison with its gigantic machinery for corrupting the election."
Tarliff For Porto Rico.
The senate committee on Porto Rico has concluded its consideration of the bill providing a form of government for the island. The rate of duty provided on articles brought from Porto Rico to the United States and for articles taken from the United States to Porto Rico is 25 per cent of the Dingley law rate.

Under New Canal Treaty America Cannot Fortify the Channel.
MUST ALWAYS REMAIN NEUTRAL
Text of the Agreement Between Secretary Hay and British Ambassador, Lord Pauncefote.
The following is the most important 'provisions of the new treaty negotiated in relation to the construction of the Nicaraguan canal: 'The United States of America and her majesty, the queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, empress of India, being desirous of facilitating the construction of a ship canal to connect the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, and to that end remove any objection which may arise out of the convention of April 19, 1850, commonly called the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, to the construction of such canal under the auspices of the United States, without impairing the 'general principle' of neutralization established in article VIII of that convention, have for that purpose appointed as their plenipotentiaries:
"The president of the United States John Hay, secretary of state of the United States; her majesty, the queen of Great Britian and Ireland, empress of India; the Rt. Hon. Lord Pauncefote, G. C. B., G. C. M. G, her majesty's ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary to the United States.
"Who having communicated to each other their full views, which were found to be in due and proper form, have agreed upon the following articles:
Article 1. It is agreed that the canal may be constructed under the auspices of the government of the United States, either directly at its own cost or by gift or loan of money to individuals or corporations, or through subscription to or purchases of stocks, or shares, and that subject to the provisions of the present convention, the said government shall have and enjoy all the rights incident to such construction, as well as the exclusive right of providing for the regulation and management of the canal.
Article 2. The high contracting parties, desiring to preserve and maintain the "general principle" of neutralization established in article 4 of the Clayton-Bulwer convention, adopted the basis of such neutralization, the following rules, substantially as embodied in the convention between Great Britain and certain colonial and certain and other powers signed at Constantinople, October 29, 1888, for the free navigation of the Suez maritime canal, that is to say: 1. The canal shall be free and open in time of war as well as in time of peace to the vessels of commerce, and of war of all nations on terms of equity so that there shall be no discrimination against any nation or its citizens or subjects in respect of the conditions or charges of traffic or otherwise.
2. The canal shall never be blocked, nor shall any right of war be exercised, nor any act of hostility be committed within it.
7. No fortifications shall be erected commanding the canal or waters adjacent, the United States, however, shall be at liberty to maintain such military police along the canal as may be necessary to protect it against lawlessness and disorders.
Article 4. The present convention shall be ratified by the president of the United States by and with the advice and consent of the senate thereof, and by her Britannic majesty; and the ratification shall be exchanged at Washington or at London within six months from the date thereof, or earlier if possible.
In faith whereof the respective plenipotentiaries have signed this convention and thereunto affixed their seals.

The president's letter of transmittal to the senate was as follows:
"To the Senate: I transmit herewith with a view to receiving advice and consent of the senate to its ratification, a convention this day signed by the respective plenipotentiaries of the United States and Great Britain to facilitate the construction of a ship canal to connect the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, and to remove any objection which might arise out of the convention of April 9, 1850, commonly called the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, to the construction of such canal under the auspices of the government of the United States.

Dr. Lambert's Dentise.

chronicle the death of Dr, F.C. Lam-
bert, which occurred lust Sunday
morning at his residence on East
Broad street. ‘Io us his death was
almost eudden, he having taken hie
bed on the Wednesday preceeding
the Sunday on which he died.
His death was due to Gustro-En-
teritis. Ir. Furance Cockburn Lam-
bert was born in the Island of Ber-
muda, British West Indies, about 38
years ago, and received his education
in the echools of the island. Before
coming to this country, he was en+
gaged as teacher in one of the schools
of his island home. On seaining
his majority he Jeft for New Yor!
City where he began the study and
practice of dentistry; after comple-
ting his studies, he went into the
office of Dr. D.C. White on Sth Ave.

ed in the doctor's office acquiring a
perfect knowledge of clinical dentis-
try until early in 1887, when became
to Savannah and began the practice
of dentistry, in which he’continued
to the time of his death. The doc-
tor’s practice was a good one, about
one third being from the white race.
Dr. Lambert was a man pf decided
convictions, warm and large heart.

Rev. Singleton read a very inter-
esting paper on “What can - be done
to keep our people out of the policy
shops.” The paper created quite
discussion which was partieipated in
by the following speakers: Dra. Dur-
ham, Love, Manning and Revs. Max-
well, Cargile, Whittaker, Simms,
Epton, and Doughtry. It was fin-
ally adopted with a vote of thanks
to the writer, and a resolution by
Dr. Durham that each minister en-
deavor to find these gambling policy
shops and point them out to the le-
gal authorities.
‘The advisory committee reported
that next Monday a paper be “read

HON. S 8. MINCEY.
An Energetic Republican
and Safe Leader.
‘To Tax Epitor or THE TRIBUNE:
It has already been announced
through the columns of your valua-
ble paper that Mr. S. S. Mincey is a
candidate for the Republican nation-
al convention. But for the benefit
of those who are not so well ac-
quainted with him, we beg for space
enough to state the following.
Without fear of contradiction on
the part of those who know Mr. Min-
cey ulready, we take the liberty to
eay that the great state of Georgia
will be represented by no one who's
better qualified for such duties as
will be imposed upon a national del-
egatethan he. We need not say that
he is a loyal as well as a most con-
servative republican, for hy his ac-
tive and unrelenting service a8 8
party organizer, he fas made him-
self famous throughout the state—
especially in the eleventh congres-
sional district. ‘
When Mr. Mincey esme to this
county several years ago, there was
practically no party organization
here, hence any action taken by the

jem, or detrimental to the Negro
iTace, it was met by no material op-
position whatever. But he was not
,the man to let things go on in this
, Way, 20 he immediately took hold of
the work of party organization and
with the aid of such men as would
co-operate with him in this effort, it
was not long before he had the ma-
chinery of the republican party in
Montgomery county set in motion,
and its wheels have not ceased to
[turn since that day. He came here
and accomplished a work which few
men would have attempted under
the same trying conditions and un-
favorable circumstances and fewer
‘still would have ever succeeded as he
did. Out of due consideration for
his arduous labors and_ excellent
ability he has been honored with the
chairmanship of his county since the
time of its organization, during
which time he has won and held the
highest esteem of his own people, al-
40 the reapect of the better class of
people outside of his party. |
As delegate to several district and
stete conventions, Mr. Mincey has!
always exercised his influence in the|
intereat of the will of the people
whom he represented as well as for
the highest good of the republican
party. Weare proud to say further’
that he is not one of the hangers-on!
of the party, hungry for the spoils of
office, but rather a real constitnent
thereof such an one it cannot afford
to be without. He is a republican
in the truest sense of the word, loyal],
to the party in the midst of adverei-
ty as well as in its triumphs. Not
only that, buthe has been the prime ;
cause of its many triumphs in this -
part of the state for a goodly num-!
ber of years.
Since his sojourn in Montgomery
county Mr, Mincey has stood the -
teat that few men in the state would |
have been able to stand. Failing in |
the attempt to bribe him to under- )
mine the cause of his party, men hare 1
time and again posted notices upon |
his dvrelling, and. send him anony;'
mous letters warning him to leave |
the county in 24 hours under penal- ;
'y of being putto death: In fuct,
hey have breathed out all manner,
of infamous persecutions against
him and his family; but none of ;
hese things caused him to swerve, ,
nr even cease to advocate the cause
of republicanism fora moment. They }
nly aroused his determination to do !
nore for his party in thefnture than |
ne has done in the past, In what
etter way could the district dele- J
ation give him an opportunity to I
lo more than by chosing him as one t
f the delegates from this district to f
he Philadelphia convention in June,
ext, 0
It was not the prompting of a self- },
sh ambition that Mr. Mincey is in /
he race’ for the national convention, }
ut it was by the urgent request of
majority of the leading citizens in ;,
his section of the state, and we feel ¥
atisfied that if he is given due con- g
ideration by the district conven- ,
ion, if the delegation is made to re- 5
lize that he has done as much if
jot more for the republican party
s any other gentleman in this sec- 1
ion of the state, then he will be and §
f right should be one of the-chosen rf
umber to represent this district in ©
bat angnst body next June in the ‘

The opinion of insurance actuaries,
based upon the closest inquiries and
abundant figures, is that there exists
tn some familles a quality as separate
ag any race pecullarity, which enables
a majority of its members to go on liv-
ing beyond the average perfod.
Though not physically stronger than
other people, and as often attacked by
disease, they have a power of recov
ering ‘themselves completely after ll-
ness which other men do not possess,
and they consequently decay more
slowly. It Is thought probable,
though not certain, indeed, that this
peculiarlty extends to whole races,
and that the greater average duration
of western as compared with castern
life is derived from !t. Thus, It ts

Tue Recovery of Submerged land In Hol

‘The unconquerable persistence of
the Dutch race Is very much In the

tlence which, other things being equal,

Jands and the encroachments of the
waters of the Zuyder Zee Is a thril
ling story, and the fight evidently 1s
not over set. The land that has been
recovered has been held, and now a
further and determined effort 1s being
made to recover the submerged terri
tors, which hundreds of years ago was
included within the coast line of the
‘Netherlands. The present attempt
‘does not contemplate the recovery of
the whole of the Zuyder Zee, but If
‘the plang do not miscarry, It is cer-
tain that nearly 800 square miles of
land will be reclaimed within the next
third of a century at an estimated ex-
penditure of $49,000,000.
‘The scheme contemplates the con-
struction of a buge dike across the
Zusder Zee, the location of which will
be determined by the favorable con-
function of shallow water and adja-
cent islands. Nine years out of the
thirty-three which is the estimated
time for the construction of the whole
scheme will be occupied merely In the
construction of this dike, whose total
estimated cost , will be $17,000,000.

Evolution of Head Coverlags.
Earllest of all forms of headgear
was the cap. The bat did, not really
come into common use till the seven
teenth century. In the time of Charles
1, the queer, high, sugar-loat shaped
hat came into fashion. It was wound
with a rich band and trimmed with a
feather. Constant balancing of the
head was necessary to keep it ou, This
hat was taken up by the Purltans, who
satisfied their bitter consciences by dis-
carding the frivolous band and the
wicked feather.
Charles I brought the French porl-
wig tuto England, and the tall bat
went out to make way for s low,
broad-brimmed thing, gorgcona with
feathers and gimeracks, These broad
brims becatne broader and broader. At
last, {t became necessary to turn them
up at frst, this was done at the back,
finally according to the wearer's fancy.
Out of this extravagant style of
headgear grew the cocked bat’ The
footman ‘and lverled coacbmen of
many European nations still wear this
pivle of headgear, | Durlag Queen
‘Anne's tlme the cocked ha* was the
hat of the gentleman, ‘The correct
fashion was to carry It under the arm,
as miuch 26 possible.
‘The French revolution, wh'ch took
off x0 many heads that had worn tho
cocked hat, took off the cocked hat,
too, In Its place the crescent shape be-
came the style, partly by force. The
direct ancestor of that dreadful thing,
the high hat of to-day, was the noble
and sturdy beaver. Beavers went put
of fashion largely becnuse the supply
of materlal became exhausted.—New
