The Savannah Tribune. Published by The TRIBUNE PUBLISHING COMPANY. As the last words were read, the crowd arose and sent up a wild cheer. Colonel Colson, the defendant, was standing near the witness chair. The crowd took no notice of the court officers, who pounded vigorously for order, but piled over the railings surrounding Colson and insisted on shaking hands with him. They gave an ovation to the jury and Colonel James Andrews, Colson's chief counsel. The cheering was kept up till Colonel Colson left the court room, and as he did so, it was taken up by the Beckham soldiers in front of the court house, to which the colonel-very very gracefully returned the salute. Colson received messages from all over the state congratulating him on his acquittal. The tragedy which resulted in Colson's trial was a duel with Lieutenant Ethelbert F. Scott in the lobby of the Capital hotel in Frankfort, in which Colson killed his antagonist, Scott, and Luther W. Demarce and Charles Julian, bystanders, and wounded Captain B. B. Golden. Both Scott and Colson emptied their pistols, fifteen or twenty shots being fired in all. Scott had seven bullets in his body; Colson was wounded in the arm. He received the wound early in the fight and it was shown that Scott fired first. Colonel Colson was tried on an indictment charging him with the murder of Scott. He is also indicted for killing Demarce, but this will now be dismissed. V)L. XV. QUAY IS FIRED FROM SENATE Pennsylvania Governor's Appointment Could Not Stand. DEFEATED BY ONLY ONE VOTE A Tremendous Throng Gathered In Senate Chamber to See the Great Fight Through. Hon. Matthew S. Quay was Tuesday refused a seat in the United States senate on the appointment of the governor of Pennsylvania by a vote of 33, to 32. The galleries were thronged with multitudes while other multitudes were unable to gain admission. On the floor of the senate was every member of the body then in the city and scores of member of the house of representatives. The great throng listened with deep attention to the brilliant arguments of Mr. Spooner in favor of the seating of the former Pennsylvania senator and to the Democratic and fiery eloquence of Mr. Daniel, of Virginia, who appealed to his colleagues to do what, on his oath as a senator, he deemed right, and vote to do justice to him who was kucking at the senate doors. Mr. Daniel concluded ten minutes before the hour fixed for the voting to begin. The excitement in the senate by this time was intense. There was a hush in the chamber as Mr. Frye, in the chair announced at 4 o'clock that the hour for the final vote had arrived and that the question was the pending motion of Mr. Chandler to strike out of the resolution declaring Mr. Quay not to be entitled to a seat the word "not." Amid suppressed excitement Mr. Chandler demanded the yeas and nays and the secretary of the senate began to call the roll. All knew the vote would be close. Mr. McCumber, of North Dakota, formerly a Quay advocate, delivered a carefully prepared constitutional argument in opposition to the sealing of Mr. Quay. Mr. Lindsay, of Kentucky, spoke. Mr. Spooner contended for liberal statesmanship in the case, saying that the senate should not take the narrowest conceivable view of its determination of the question. As for himself, neither personal tie nor popular criticism would influence his vote, which should be cast for Mr. Quay, Messrs. Stewart, of Nevada, and Turner, of Washington, followed. At 4 o'clock the chair announced the hour for voting had arrived and the pending question was Mr. Chandler's motion to strike out of the committee resolution declaring that Mr. Quay was not entitled to a seat in the senate, the word "not." Mr. Chandler asked for yeas and noes. The motion was defeated as follows: Yeas—Allison, Baker, Carter, Chandler, Clark, of Wyoming; Cullom, Daniel, Davis, DeBoe, Foraker, Fyre, Gear, Husbrough, Jones, of Nevada; McComa*, McLaurin, Mason, Morgan, Nelson, Penrose, Perkins, Platt, of New York; Scott, Sewell, Shoup, Spooner, Stewart, Sullivan, Talinaferro, Warren, Wetmore, Wolcott—32. Noes—Allen, Bacon, Bard, Bate, Berry, Burrows, Butler, Clay, Cockrell, Culberson, Hale, Harris, Heitfeld, Hawley, Jones. of Arkansas; Lindsay, McBride, McCumber, McEnergy, McMillan, Martin, Money, Platt, of Connecticut; Proctor, Quarles, Ross, Simon Teller, Tillman, Turley, Turner, Vest, Wellington—38. Pairs were announced as follows, the first named in each instance being favorable to Mr. Quay and the second opposed to him: Pritchard with Gallinger; Depew with Hanna; Foster with Kean; Lodge with Thurston; Kenney with Caffery; Elkins with Chilton; Fairbanks with Mallory; Hoar with Pottus; Kyle with Rawlins. The following senators were unpaired: Aldrich, Beveridge, Clark, of Montann, and Pettigrew. The question then recurred to the original resolution and it was adopted by a vote of 33 to 32, the former vote being exactly reversed on this question. HORRORS OF FAMINE. Situation in India Becomes More and More Deplirable. The latest official reports from the famine districts of India say that the misery existing there is indescribable and unparalleled, and that the present relief is quite inadequate. They add that the mortality among the cattle is also so severe that the authorities are trying to adapt farm implements so that human power can replace that of bullocks. Such a drastic measure has never before been necessary, even in the greatest scarcity of animals. CONSTANT SRIRMISHING. Bcers Are Pressing British Garrison at Wepener and Showing Great Activity. Latest dispaches arriving in London from the seat of war, though meager and unsatisfactory, clearly indicate renewed activity at all points where the British and Boer forces are in striking distance of each other. Interest for the moment centers at Dewets dorp and Wepener, with fighting evidently in progress. A dispatch from Ailwalnorth of April 21st says there was heavy firing on the previous day between Deweta dorp and Wepener, and around Wepener on Saturday, but no particulars have been received. A special dispatch from Masuo dated Saturday, April 21st, says: "The investment of Wepener continues. The Boers seem determined to do their utmost to capture the garrison before relief arrives. Severe fighting appears imminent." The activity of the Boers at Elandslangte apparently has failed to draw General Buller, if that was its object, into dong more than repel the attack made on his advice posts. A dispatch from Warrenon, also dated Saturday, says: "There has been intermittent and ineffective sniping by the Boers, who also fired a few shells, both during the day and night at the station, the past two days." Spenser Wilkinson, reviewing the situation in South Africa for the Associated Press, says: 'The Boers admirably understand how to suit their tactics and strategy to the country. Their art consists in compelling the British to attack and make exhausting marches across a country ill-provided with roads. Thus their first step is to surround in superior force any isolated party of British. This compels the British, if they try to escape, to attack under conditions which give all the advantages of cover and defensive use of rifle fire to the Boer force. The British commander-in-chief is then forced to send a relief expedition from a distance. The Boer force interposes, and the British, in order to get forward, are again compelled to attack. "This is the history of Wepener, where Colonel Dalghey has 1,500 men surrounded by Boers. General Brahant, from the south, and General Rundle, from the west, have to fight their way to the relief of Dalghey. "General Rundle has part of his own and General Chermside's divisions, which if fully present would make 18,000 men. His plan should be to try to surround the Boers in front of him, but as they ride and his men walk, he may find this impracticable and have to push them back slowly by a combination of a flank with a frontal attack. "The Boers are using their small forces with great energy. A day or two ago they were reconnoitering General Roberts' position north of Bloemfontein. Next they attacked Lord Methuen, who was retiring toward B洛希. COLSON LIBERATED. Ex-Congressman David J. Colson, who was tried at Frankfort, Ky., for the murder of Lieutenant Ethelbert Scott and Luther W. Demaree, was acquitted at 6:35 o'clock Saturday evening. The trial lasted four days. The jury was out only eighteen minutes. There was silence as the jury filed into the court, and the court clerk, Ford, read the verdict. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. APRIL 28. 1900. ARMY OFFICERS GET EXTRA PAY Senator Bacon's Resolution Brings Out the Fact. ADMISSION IS FRANKLY MADE Secretary Root Says They Deserve Double Compensation--Washington Post Criticises. A Washington special says: Senator Bacon's resolution calling for facts about extra compensation paid to army officers in high statione in Cuba was adopted by the senate Saturday, as was the other one on the same line calling for the details of certain elaborate expenditures said to have been made in fitting up quarters for the American representatives in Havana. The introduction of the resolutions, and their consideration, brought forth not only a lively discussion in the senate, in which some startling admissions were made, but it brought from the secretary of war the admission that the allegations are true. Secretary Root is quoted as admitting that American army officers now occupying administrative positions in Cuba, are drawing additional salaries of Cuban revenues. The Washington Post, referring to the matter, says: "Most surprising of the misuse of this Cuban money is that it has had the sanction of the administration, as represented by the president and Secretary Root. The Cubans have, of course, been powerless. They have not even been consulted. The United States is in control of the island, and so in the pockets of American army officers thousands of dollars of Cuban revenues merely jingle, alongside of the dollars regularly paid to these officers as their legal salaries." This act, which is in direct conflict with the specific law which provides that no army officer shall receive extra compensation by pointing out that it has only gone to a few, and that the money which went to these favored few came from the revenues of Cuba, and not from the funds for the payment of army officers' salaries. Senator Bacon says he will push the investigation vigorously, as he proposes to get to the bottom of these charges. Secretary Root, in admitting the facts, also stated that the officers who were doubly paid; were worth more than their salaries from this government, and this he considered an extinguishing circumstance. TAYLOR SEES ROOSEVELT. Kentuckian Appeals to Governor of New York For Protection. The New York World publishes the following in Sunday's issue: W. S. Taylor, governor of Kentucky, is in New York in consequence, of the finding of an indictment against him by the grand jury of Frankfort, charging him with being an accessory before the fact to the murder of William E. Goebel. He appealed to Governor Roosevelt asking that any demand for extradition be denied. The interview between the governor of Kentucky and the governor of New York lasted for an hour and a half. The utmost secrecy was observed. According to a Frankfort dispatch the indictment against the Republican Governor Taylor, charged with being an accessory to the murder, will be held up till after the argument of the governorship contest cast, which is docked for hearing before the supreme court at Washington, April 30th, and it is said by persons in the councils of the prosecution that no steps will be taken in the case till after that time. The rumor that Governor Beckham had been applied to for a requisition is without foundation. Monument to Texas Heroes. Saturday was San Jacinto day in Texas. It is made notable this year by the unveiling of a monument in Galveston to the heroes of the Texas revolution, the gift of the late Henry Rosenburg to the people of Texas. PROMINENT NEGRO DEAD. Leading Presacher of the Baptist Domon- nation Expires In Savannah, Ga. Rev. Emanuel K. Love, D. D., pastor of the First African Baptist church of Savannah, Ga., died Tuesday morning at 3:50 o'clock after a brief illness. Dr. Love was president of the Missionary Baptist convention which is to meet in Savannah in June next, and treasurer of the board of trustees of the negro Baptist college at Macon, editor of the Baptist Truth, the organ of the Baptists of the state of Georgia. By many he was regarded as the ablest and most forceful man of his church. He was regarded everywhere as an able leader of his race. HUNTER CASE CALLED Ex-Auditor of A & W. P. Railroad Arraigned For Embezzlement. HE ENTERS PLEA OF "NOT GUILTY." The Trial of Colonel Howell, Jointly Indicted With Hunter, Was Temporarily Postponed. Thomas J. Hunter, well known as a society and club man, and formerly auditor of the Atlanta and West Point railroad company, was placed on trial in the superior court at Atlanta Monday before Judge John S. Candler on a charge of embezzling the funds of the company. The report of Hunter's shortage last October created a great sensation in railroad circles. Interest in the affair was heightened by his flight to Morocco, from which place he was returned to Atlanta several months ago by a Pinkerton man. A number of indictments have been found against the ex-auditor. The one on which he is being tried charges that together with Colonel Albert Howell, former union ticket agent at the Atlanta depot, he embezzled $30,000 of the company's money. Hunter is alleged to have received between $12,000 and $13,000 as his share of the funds. Colonel Howell's trial would have been first had not his attorney, Mr. L. Z. Rosser, been suffering with vertigo. The Howell case was postponed until Tuesday morning. Colonel Howell was in the court room during the morning session and followed the evidence closely. Hunter appeared cool and calm. He looked as much at his ease as when he was running the auditor's office for the Atlanta and West Point and was riding on the topmost crest of prosperity. The selection of a jury was quickly accomplished. Hunter's attorney presented a demurrier to the indictment which was overruled. Hunter was then arraigned and entered a plea of not guilty. The indictment which charged Hunter as auditor and Colonel Howell as ticket agent with embezzling $30,816 of the funds of the Atlanta and West Point Railroad company was read. Mr. B. H. Hill opened the case for the prosecution by outlining more in detail the charges of the indictment. "There are three branches of the case;" said Mr. Hill, "The first is the individual shortage of Albert Howell, Sr. We expect to show that the amount Howell got himself was between $18,000 and $20,000. We expect to show that this shortage was rendered possible by the co-operation of the auditor, the checking officer, who was charged by the railroad company with the duty of seeing that the agents paid money collected by them into the treasury. "The second branch involves the amount Hunter got. We expect to show he received more probably than is charged in the indictment. We propose to show by the evidence that he got between $12,000 and $13,000 of funds of the road, through Howell. "The third branch links the two officers together. It shows both are equally responsible for amounts received by them. We expect to show there was a conspiracy between the two men to embezzle the funds of the railroad company." Mr. Hill explained the system by which Hunter's books were manipulated in order to conceal the shortages of Howell and himself. Just before the books were to be checked up by experts, the shortage in the Atlanta office was divided up among all of the offices along the company's line, so that no very large amount appeared to be due from any one station. Mr. Hill said this plan would be fully shown by the experts. He said that as evidence of the fact that Hunter got the money there would be presented receipts, bogus checks and dues bills which Hunter gave Howell from time to time. The road had confidence in the auditor and he was always apprised of the coming of the expert. He was told to get ready for the investigation, but he got ready, Mr. Hill said, in a different way from that intended. PROHIBITION CAMPAIGN Will Make South Carolina Politics Warm During the Summer. A Columbia, S. O., dispatch says; The prohibitionists are preparing for a determined state campaign this summer. A call has been issued for a state convention to meet May 23d, for the purpose of suggesting candidates for governor and other state offices. C. O. Featherstone, the prohibition candidate for governor, in the last Democratio primary was defeated by Governor Ellerbe, the dispensary candidate, by only 2,000 votes. The dispensary will be represented by Governor McSwineey. Subscription: $1.25 Per Annum; 75c. for Six Months, 50c. for Three Months; Single Copies 5c. In Advance HANNA MAKES SPEECH. The Ohio Republican state convention assembled in Columbus Tuesday and made a great administration demonstration. Usually there is only one keynote speech, that of the temporary chairman, but there were two on this occasion, and the one that caused more comment than any other convention speech in the history of the Ohio Republicans was by Senator Hanna. Hon. Robert M. Nevin was elected temporary chairman. He said: "We congratulate ourselves upon promises kept, platforms fulfilled and pledges redeemed." Referring to the Philippines Mr. Nevin said: "We hold the islands only that we may train the people in the right ideas of government, educate them to what is necessary to maintain and build up a people—civilize them as we understand it, in the highest and best degree." Mr. Nevin characterized the Porto Rican tariff bill as "not only the wisest and best, but the most charitable that could be enacted." Chairman Nevin attempted to proceed with the call of congressional districts for their respective selections of members of the committee, but the convention was bound to call out Senator Hanna. The latter after repeated refusals finally spoke in part as follows: "The republicans of the United States are confronted today with many new propositions and issues thrown around us like tangled grass in our pathway by the Democratic party attempting to raise new issues upon every move of policy made by the government, seeking some issue, some opportunity to manifest their opposition to the Republican party. "We are conscious of having fulfilled overy promise made. We took this country into our hands and under our care after four years of the greatest vicissitudes through which we have ever passed in history. At our convention in St. Louis we announced the policy and the doctrine of the republican party upon which had been builted the material interests for twenty odd years. The beat evidence of the success of that policy is what we have accomplished as affecting the material interests of this country. "I do not care whether you call it imperialism or expansion. The destiny of this country is written and any party or combination of men that attempts, by any subterfuge or makeshift in politics, to stop the power and progress will go down under it just as the Democratic party has gone down. (Applause.) We are proud of our record; we are proud of our business experience, and we are glad to have had the opportunity to demonstrate to the world that the policy and business principles of the American people mean the civilization and christianization of the whole world. "Now that we are embarking in this new policy, and now that this government is confronted with the responsibilities which are open to us, we ask the Republican party of Ohio as we did four years ago, to sound the keynote to the balance of the union; to express her confidence in her great leader, our president. His courage during all the dark days of that war and many complications which succeeded it has never failed for one moment. "And I want to improve this opportunity to say in his presence that there has never been an hour, no, not a moment, that he has not been in touch with his party in Washington. (Applause.) The consciousness that he is prepared for and is meeting every difficulty, determined to do what seems best and right for the people in our insular possessions, at the same time maintaining the dignity and prestige of our own country and protecting our labor and our industries—that feeling that he is doing right, has enabled him to call to his support that aid which always comes to a strong leader of men, and, no matter what collateral issues may be arranged in this coming campaign: I know that the people of the United States feel comfortable and confident when they know that William McKinley is at the wheel." (Applause.) After appointment of committees the convention adjourned until Wednesday. RAILROADS HONOR EMPLOYE. All Business Suspended While Body Was Being Buried. The Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis and Western and Atlantic railroads paid a last tribute to the memory of Superintendent of Motive Power James Cullen, who died in Nashville Thursday night, and was buried Saturday at noon. While the funeral ceremonies at the grave were being conducted and the body was being lowered into the grave, business of all kinds was suspended absolutely on the 1,300 miles road system that Mr. Cullen so long and so faithfully. NO 29 SENATOR CLARK MUST GET OUT Report of Elections Committee Is Submitted to Senate. HIS SEAT IS DECLARED VACANT Resolution to Fire Montana Man Unanimously Recommended By the Committee. A Washington special says: Senator Chandler, from the senate committee on privileges and elections, submitted to the senate Monday the report of that committee in the case of Senator Clark, of Montana. The report says: "The finding of the committee is, that the election to the senate of William A. Clark, of Montana, is null and void on account of briberies, attempted briberies and corrupt practices by his agents, and of violation of the laws of Montana defining and punishing crimes against the elective franchise." The committee unanimously recommends the adoption by the senate of the following resolution: "Resolved, That William A. Clark was not duly and legally elected to a seat in the senate of the United States by the legislature of the state of Montana." "The senate should, as a duty to itself and to the country, demonstrate by its action in this case that seats in the United States senate procured as Senator Clark's has been procured cannot be retained by the deliberate judgment of the senate. The senate also owes a duty to the people of Montana, who, conscious of the bad repute into which the state has fallen by reason of vast expenditures of money in connection with its elections, manifested such a public sentiment that the legislature of 1895 passed a statute which, if obeyed, would have redeemed the state from its bad name. Montana has a right to expect a prompt and decisive remedy from the action of the senate upon the report of this committee." The findings are based on the following admitted and undisputed facts appearing in the testimony: "1. The expenditures in the contest of 1895 as testified to by Senator Clark and Governor Hauser. "2. The law of 1895 relative to crimes against the elective franchise, limiting the purpose and amount of political expenditures in any election. "3. Senator Clark has been constantly a candidate for office. The organization of a committee in his interest in the summer of 1898, to which the report says: 'He gave unlimited authorized to spend money which he agreed to furnish; an estimate, however, being made; that at least $35,000 would be necessary to secure the state convention and that $75,000 might be needed to secure the state legislature. "4. In the canvass which ensued the approximate expenditures admitted by the various members of his committee, and their assistants, were as follows: By Charles W. Clark, $25,000; by McDermott, $22,000; by Davidson, agent, $22,300; by Wellcome, $25,000; by Corbett; $5,000; by Whitmore, $4,000; by Cooper, $2,900, mainly furnished by Charles W. Clark, and the amount of these expenditures Senator Clark himself paid to his son. The advances and payments made by Senator Clark to his committee and agents, as admitted by him, amounted to about $139,-000. "5. None of the members of his committee or their assistants made the sworn returns required by law, nor did Senator Clark himself make any return." Sections 6 to 15 deal with the business transactions of Mr. Clark and his representatives with members of the legislature. Nicaragua Bill Day. In the house Monday upon the request of Mr. Hepburn, unanimous consent was given to set aside May 1 and 2 for the consideration of the Nicaragua canal bill. TAYLOR IN WASHINGTON. Declines to Discuss the Object or Results of His Trip to New York. Gov. W. S. Taylor, of Kentucky, who has been for several days in New York, returned to Washington Monday afternoon. His present expectation is to remain in the city until after the disputed governorship is argued in the supreme court. Whether he will stay until the case is decided by the supreme court he has not yet decided. The governor said he had a very pleasant trip to the metropolis and admitted that he had conferred with Republican leaders about his case, but refused to say more.

Registered Letter or Express Official Organ of the Masono Grand Lodge of the State of Georgia BLESSED is a community in which the people are not divided in church and state. The Negro can be a power for good if he would save more, talk less and act right. Our people must pervade the business field. It will add more stamina to the race. There always comes a time when the veil of charity can be thrown over the frailties of a fellow-man. The young girl that displays more sense from the head than from the feet, is bound to be respected by the community. THERE are certain kinds of entertainments as being conducted, that are the means of dwarfing the morals of our young people. It is a source of real joy to behold on the streets a number of our young girls neatly cladded and with a real respectful and dignified bearing. Not one of our exchanges was ever more keenly missed than was the Georgia Baptist. Its resumption last week was hailed with delight. THERE is no discount of the fact that Rev. Love was a man of natural abilities and had the power to sway many in whom he would come in contact with. The people that complain the most accomplish but a very little. Our people are chronic complainers and for that reason are not doing as well as they might. Homes should be made cheerful and inviting, the air around it should be pure and around the fireside our children taught those benign things that are essential to true manhood and womanhood. In too many cases are our children left entirely to their own resources by careless parents. The result of this would be, with a few exceptions, detrimental to both parent and child. THERE is a class of people in this country making much complaint about the ill treatment of the Cubans, the Porto Ricans, the Filipinos and other classes, but right here at their doors they say but very little about the poor Negro who is being daily mistreated, especially by his hard task-masters in the rural districts. In this city there are several of our young ladies who are experts at hat trimming. There is no reason whatever for these young ladies not opening a millinery store, even if it is only on a small scale. All of the Broughton street dealers had a small beginning. If these young ladies are not able to open a store, let them at home do such work, build up a trade, save what they earn, and in a short time they would be able to branch out. There is money in hat trimming and our people have a lot of it done; therefore there is no reason whatever for any failure if the business is conducted properly. Let our young ladies who understand this kind of work, consider it seriously and take some step to better themselves by going into it. A New Dawnlug. The Supreme Court of the United States has one time recently recognized the citizenship of the Negro and decreed that he should have the right to set on a jury especially when one of his race is being tried for murder. A Washington dispatch recites the entire case as follows: "The Seth Carter case, familiar to the people of Texas, was decided today by the supreme court, and in a way that is of great importance to Texas and all the Southern states. The decision changes the whole practice of investigation in criminal indictments. As is well known, Seth Carter is under indictment charged with murder. He moved to quash the indictment, alleging that notwithstanding a quarter of the population of Galveston was composed of Negroes, no members of that race were included on the panel of the grand jury. The record shows that his counsel asked leave to introduce testimony to this effect, but the petition was denied. And also that the Galveston court overruled the motion without investigating. "The Texas court of appeals sustained the trial court on the ground that evidence had been offered by defendant on the point raised. Justice Gray of the United States supremes court today holds, that this will raise assumption, as such evidence had only been tendered. He says that by this tender Carter preserved his rights under the constitution, therefore the decision was reversed and the cased remanded. The entire supreme bench assents and agrees with Justice Gray. "The opinion is expressed here by eminent jurists that this will have a far reaching effect and means the successful appeal of every Negro found guilty of crime by either State or Federal courts where members of their own are not included on both the grand and petit juries. Henceforth, in order to make convictions against Negroes stick, members of that race must be included in all panels of grand and petit juries." An Educational Meeting. The National Educational Association will meet in Charleston S. C., July 7th, to 13th. The following has been sent to colored teachers : As a progressive teacher, and one who takes an interest in all educational matters, we would earnestly call your attention to the Meeting of the National Educational Association, which will be held in this city July next, and urge upon you to be present at the same. Among the thousands of teachers that will attend this educational gathering, coming from all parts of the country, there will be many distinguished colored educators. many of whom will take a prominent part in the proceedings, and your acquaintance with them will be no small part of the many benefits to be derived from your attendance upon these instructive meetings. Besides the interesting sessions of the association, which will be open to all, irrespective of race, and the many places of interest afforded by this historic city, it is expected that President Wm. McKinley will be present at the patriotic meeting of the association and will address the teachers in the auditorium. The leaing colored citizens of Charleston have organized and are arranging to entertain all colored delegates. Good board and lodging will be provided at reasonable prices and all the railroads have agreed to charge one fare plus two dollars for the membership fee in the association.

Statistics concerning ownership or tenancy of homes are being eagerly awaited by many persons who realize the importance of these statistics as a means of showing the real prosperity of the colored people. Reports received from recent conferences and conventions in the south indicate encouraging progress of the race in industrial knowledge and in the number engaged in professional pursuits. Such reported gains can best be proved beyond dispute by census facts bearing on the ownership of homes among the colored people. These statistics will be made up entirely from the replies to the questions of the census enumerators. No matter what the dwelling is, whether a humble cabin or a fine residence, if it is the abiding place of a family its ownership will be taken and recorded by the census. Whether the occupant is in debt for his house or his land or has bought on a contract, he is an owner. Every householder is either an "owner" or a "tenant". It is believed that one of the most gratifying facts to be developed by the census will be the greatly increased number of the colored race who have succeeded in becoming owners of their homes.

D., died last Tuesday morning at 3:50 o'clock. He took suddenly ill on Wednesday of last week. The night before he was at church and preached for the last time. He singularly remarked that it would be the last time that some of those present would be there, and further said, it was liable to be him. His condition grew alarming and it was reported several times that he had died. It is reported that on Sunday night he sang several familiar hymns and spoke in a remarkable manner for one being so sick. He was conscious up to Monday morning and spoke to those around him. He fully understood that he would die, and was prepared to meet his Maker. He remained quietly until he breathed his last. The cause of Dr. Love's death is directly attributed to pneumonia, against which he struggled manfully and all human aid and medical skill were employed to relieve him but without success. Rev. Love was called to the pastorate of the First African Baptist church in 1885. He was then 35 years of age. Had he lived until the 27th of July he would have been fifty years of age. He was born a slave near Marion, Ala. His struggle for an education was commendable. He graduated in 1877 in Augusta, and was ordained to the ministry in the same city, at Harmony Baptist church. He was soon after appointed State missionary of the Home Mission Board. He resigned in two years afterward to take up the pastorate in Thomasville. This he resigned in 1881 to take up the Sunday School Mission work, in which he continued until 1885 when called to the pastorate of the church here. The citizens here are acquainted with his work. He fostered several plans having for its object the upbuilding of his people. At the time of his death Rev. Love was president of the State Baptist Convention, treasurer of the Central City Baptist College, which he founded, was editor of the Baptist Truth. He wrote the history of the First African Baptist church, and was a writer of no mean ability. He was a member of King Solomon Lodge No. 14, A. F. and A. Masons, of Albany, Ga., and by request of the family the beautiful masonic rites were conducted at the grave, under the auspices of Eureka Lodge No. 1. Rev. Love leaves a wife, mother, daughter, two brothers, six sisters, two nephews who reside with him, and a host of other relatives. The remains were kept at home until Thursday when they were taken to the church from where it was buried yesterday. A large course of people attended the services at the church and the grave. The church was crowded to its utmost, and signs of sincere grief could be seen on all sides. The members of the church showed their loyalty to their beloved pastor to the last. Rev. C. S. Wilkins, of Augusta, vice-president of the State Convention, conducted the funeral ceremonies. The deceased was eulogized by Rev. Spratling and others. The services were indeed sad and very impressive. The family of the deceased has the sincere sympathy of the entire community. Anniversary Celebration. The twenty-seventh anniversary of the First Bryan Baptist church, West Broad street, was celebrated on Sunday last. The services at 11 o'clock in the morning were conducted by Revs. R. H. Thomas, Hosea Maxwell and M. J. Maddox. The sermon, which was an able one, was preached by Rev. Maddox. A goodly number was present. In the afternoon, services in memorial of Mrs, Harris, were held. This service was participated in by Revs. J.J. Durham, D.D., Jno.W. Whittaker and Hill. Eulogistic addresses were made by Revs. Whittaker and Durham. A portrayal of the beautiful life of the deceased, her excellent qualities, motherly affections, etc., was made by the speakers. Mrs. Maggie Durden, in behalf of the Sunday school, read a very touching memorial of the deceased, touching upon her work in the Sunday school and love for the same. The evening services were conducted by Rev. G. W. Griffin of the First Bryan Baptist church, Bryan street. The communion was administered, and the entire service was interesting. Rev. R. H. Thomas, pastor of College Park Baptist church was present during the entire day and did much in making the services a success. Deacon Wm. Durden had charge of the arrangements.

No young man under twenty-five years of age is in any sense competent to take unto himself a wife. It is a far lesser evil for a girl to marry under twenty than it is for a man to marry before he is twenty-five. Before that age he is simply a boy who has absolutely nothing which he can offer to a girl as a sate foundation for life-happiness. He is informed in his character, unsettled in his ideas, absolutely ignorant of the first essentials of what consideration or love for a woman means. He doesn't know himself, let alone knowing a woman. He is full of fancies, and it is boyish nature to flit from a fancy to another. He is incapable of the affection upon which love is based, because he has not lived long enough to know what the feeling or even the word means. He is full of theories, each one of which, when he comes to put it into practice, will fail. For of such stuff are theories made. He is full of positive opinions, each one of which he will live to see change and be proven wrong. It is not that he is to blame. He is a boy, pure and simple, passing through that trying period through which every boy must pass before he is a man. But that period is not the marrying time. For as his opinions of life are destined to change, so are his fancies of the girl he esteems as the only girl in the world destined to make him happy. The man of thirty rarely weds the girl whom he fancied when he was twenty.—Ladies Home Journal. S. S. Mincey Lauded. Ailey, Ga., April 23d 1900. EDITOR SAVANNAH TRIBUNE. Please allow me to speak a few words through your valuable paper, of the noble work of our esteemed friend and brother, S. S. Mincey, in behalf of the republican party and the colored race. I remember when he came to Montgomery county eleven years ago, the party was shattered and almost gone to nought. He went to work to rebuild and organize the party, and how well he succeeded can be seen in the vote polled for the party in the succeeding elections since that time. He has since been elected chairman of the party organization in the county, and from the hour of his elevation to the honored position he has labored faithfully and zealously in the interest of the party, in fact, there is not now, nor has there been any man in the county that has so fearlessly labored for the success of the party. He was a candidate for delegate to the national convention from this district but was defeated, however, he goes as an alternate, and we feel sure the interest of the party is in safe hands and whatever he shall find to do, in this limited sphere, he will do all in his power. We know that the grand old state of Georgia has elected an able delegation both for the State at large and in the several districts, and we say to the delegation there is none truer than Mincy, and whatever part of the program may be placed in his hands will be faithfully carried out, and I believe him worthy of their "steel." Yours always for the party, R. WALTER BARFIELD. "Primrose" Writes. Albany, N. Y., April 23, 1900. To the Editor SAVANNAN TRIBUNE.

Prof. and Mrs. Winston stopped at Philadelphia to fill some engagements, while the rest of the party separated in New York, your correspondent going on to Albany via the People's line steamer, The Adirondack.

On Wednesday evening last Asbury M. E. Church was the scene of a pretty wedding. The contracting parties being Miss Nona Viola McCrae and Mr. J. Lawrence Mitchell.

To the sweet strain of music the party entered the church in the following order headed by the ushers, Messrs J. J. Smalls, J. R. Davis, C. H. Hill, Anthony Brooks, Mr. James W Zachary; Mr. A. H. Hamilton and Mr. L S. Reid; Misses Florence E. Hendrickson and Rosa E. Drayton; Misses Letitia H. Jones and Addie Lyons; the maid of honor, Miss Ruth E. Price; the flower girls, Misses Lucile Scott and Fredericka Johnson, then came the bride leaving gracefully upon the arms of her father dressed in a white combination of satin and lace trimmed with ribbon. She wore a sprig of orange blossom with the regulation bridal veil, and carried a white satin bound prayer book. They stopped at the double arch and gate. The gate was gracefully opened by the flower girls admitting the bride and her father and where she was met by the groom who was attended by his best man Mr. Rogers C. Jackson. The beautiful ceremony was performed by Rev. John Croly. The gentlemen attendants were in full evening dress. The maid of honor Miss Price, sister of the bride, wore white organdi, trimmed with lace and white ribbon and carried a bunch of pink roses. The other maids wore pink organdi with white lace and carried bouquets of pink roses. The little flower girls also were in pink. After the ceremonies the guests were given a reception at the residence of the bride's parents on West Bolton street. The bride is one of our county school teachers, the daughter of Mrs. C. H. Price, and the groom is one of our well known young men, both having a host of friends. The happy couple is residing on Waldburg St. near Cuyler, in their own cozy home. They were well remembered by their friends in the amount of valuable presents given. Tuskegee Topics. "Mr. Geo. R. Stetson made a study upon 500 black and 500 white children in the Washington public schools. He recited to some twenty to forty children at a time one of four simple verses, written for children by Eugene Fields. After explaining the difficult words, the children were required to recite the same verses in concert twice repeating. "Each child was afterwards asked in private to repeat the verses. The degree in proficiency in memory was noted. The one thousand examined were of the fourth and fifth grades. The average age was, whites eleven years, colored twelve and fifty seven hundredths years. The colored children excelled the whites in their power of memory and retention by eighteen per cent." The school's welcome will be as hearty as ever to every one that comes to spend Commencement season with it. The Commencement speakers and prize contestants will be chosen soon. There is a general air of hope and expectancy at the present writing. Rev. R. C. Morgan, Editor of The Christian, published at London, England, preached an eloquent and inspiring sermon in the Chapel, Sunday Apr. 1, Rev. Morgan and his wife left for New York Tuesday morning.

"I Would Cry Every Time I Washed My Baby." "When he was 3 months old, first fosterers and then large bolls broke out on my baby's neck. The sores spread down his back until it became a mass of raw flesh. When I washed and pow- ```markdown ``` dered him I would cry, realizing what pain he was in. His puffful walling was heart-rending. I had about given up hope of saving him when I was urged to give him Hood's Saraparilla, all other treatment having failed. I washed the sores with Hood's Medicated Soap, applied Hood's Olive Ointment and gave him Hood's Saraparilla. The child seemed to get better every day, and very soon the change was quite noticeable. The discharge grew less, inflammation went down, the skin took on a healthy color, and the raw flesh began to scale over and a thin skin formed as the scales dropped off. Less than two bottles of Hood's Saraparilla, aluded by Hood's Medicated Soap and Hood's Olive Ointment, accomplished this wonderful cure. I cannot praise these medicines half enough."

Taking all the manufactures of the United States in 1890, barring some omissions in reporting horse power, it is found that the total horse power was in round numbers 6,000,000, equivalent to the labor of 36,000,000 men, while only 4,470,884 persons were employed, the supplemental labor having a ratio equivalent to 8 to 1. Horse power used in manufactures equivalent to 36,000,000 men represents a population of 190,000,000; in other words, if the products of the manufacturing establishments alone of the United States in 1890 had been secured by the old hand methods, without the aid of power machinery, it would have required a population of 180,000,000, with none left for agriculture, trade, transportation, mining, forestry, the professors or any other occupation—Gunton's Magazine.

FIGHTING BECOMES MORE DESPERATE Many Natives are Victims of American Bullets-Pio Del Piler Again In Evidence. According to advices from Manila the past week was one of the bloodiest of the war since the first day's fighting around Manila. Authentic reports, mostly official, shows a total of 378 Filipinos killed, twelve officers and 244 men captured and many more wounded. The number of wounded is hardly guessable. Considering that the Filipinos entirely lack hospital facilities, a great majority of the wounded will die. Probably the week's work finished 1,000 insurgents. The Americans' total loss was nine killed and sixteen wounded. Two sergeants and one private were killed in ambushes while escorting provision trains. The insurgents have been aggressive in almost every province of Luzon. General Pio del Pilar's band, numbering 300, which was out of sight for three months, the leader being reported killed, has reappeared in its old field about San Miguel. Pilar is supposed to be again in command. He gave the American garrison at San Miguel, consisting of three companies of the Thirty-fifth infantry, with a gatling, a three hours' fight, during a night attack. The loss of the insurgents in this engagement is not included in the foregoing total, as they removed their dead and wounded, but presumably it was considerable. Twenty Filipinos in the province of Batangas attacked Lieutenant Wende, who with eight men, was scouting near San Jose. The lieutenant and five men were wounded and one private was killed. Sergeant Lendoius, of the Thirty-fifth infantry, was badly wounded in an ambush near Baliang. Lieutenant Balch, of the Thirty-seventh infantry, with seventy men, had a five hours' fight with 400 insurgents in the Nuova Cuceras district. Twenty of the insurgents were killed. Colonel Smith, of the Seventeenth infantry, who captured General Montenegro and brought him to Manila, is in the isolation hospital suffering from smallpox, presumably caught from the Filipinos.

Representative Livingston, of Georgia, introduced a resolution in the house Saturday calling upon the attorney general to inform the representatives what further steps, if any, have been taken to cause Benjamin D. Greene, John T. Gaynor, Edward H. Gaynor and W. T. Gaynor to be remanded to the jurisdiction of the district court of the southern district of Georgia for trial. The resolution recites that the defendants were duly indicted in the courts of the Savannah district for defrauding the government of more than two million dollars, in connection with Captain O. M. Carter; that the defendants were arrested in New York upon requisition, and ordered by Commissioner Shields to be delivered, and that Judge Brown, of New York, overruled the order. There is a bill now pending to extend jurisdiction in this case to the southern district of Georgia, but there is a disposition on the part of the chairman of the house committee on judiciary to delay the matter in every possible way. CANAL BILL AMENDED. Words "Fortify" and "Defend" Eliminated and "Protect" Substituted. A Washington special says: The house committee Friday so amended the Hepburn Nicaragua canal bill as to make it conform in its salient features to the provisions of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. The provision for fortification of the canal is stricken out of the bill, and instead of defense being provided for, the measure will provide for protection of the canal. The words "fortify" and "defend" are stricken out, and the word "protect" inserted.

Cobb Left Light Millions. Letters testimonary in the estate of the late Silas P. Cobb were filed at Chicago Monday. The testator left an estate valued $3,000,000. The Lexington (Mass.) Historical Society observed Forefathers' Day with a public meeting held in the Hancock Congregational Church, says the Boston Herald. The special feature was an address by John Fiske of Cambridge on "The Salem Witchcraft," who spoke as follows: "The sixteenth and seventeenth centuries were the flourishing ages of the witchcraft delusion. Witchcraft, in the early ages, was considered one of the greatest crimes, as much so as murder, robbery or any other serious offense against the law, and the belief in it was shared by the whole human race until the latter part of the seventeenth century. "In England in 1664 two women were tried before Sir Matthew Hale, charged with bewitching several girls and a baby, and they were put to death, for at that time the evidence seemed perfectly rational. In 1615, in Genoa, 500 people were burned to death on the charge of witchcraft. It was the proud boast of a noted executioner in northern Italy at this time that in fifteen years he had assisted in burning 900 persons charged with sorcery. In Scotland, between 1560 and 1600, 8,000 people were put to death, an average of 200 a year. The last execution for witchcraft in England took place in 1712, in Scotland in 1722, in Germany in 1749 and in Spain in 1781. "On the whole, it is remarkable that so few were sentenced to death during the sixty years after the settlement of Boston, there being but twelve in all. The first case was that of Margaret Jones of Charlestown, in 1648. This woman had some advanced ideas in regard to the practice of medicine, curing by herbs, barks, etc., and so gained the emunity of some of the doctors. She was accused of being in league with the devil, and was convicted and hanged. On the day of her execution a terrific gale happened in Connecticut, blowing down trees and doing other damage, and this Gov. Winthrop deemed evidence of her grunt. "In 1656 Mrs. Ann Hutchinson was tried before Gov. Endicott, found guilty and hanged on Boston Common. In the next twenty or thirty years there were a number of cases tried, and, strange to say, a number of those charged with the crime were acquitted. John Bradstreet of Rowley was accused of intimacy with the devil and sentenced to pay a fine or be whipped. "A noted case was that of a woman employed by the Goodwin family in 1688 in the fact that Cotton Mather took an active interest in the case. This woman confessed, thinking that clemency would be shown her, but she was hanged." Prof. Fiske gave a brief resume of Mather's life, and said that early historians had not done him justice, and that his memory had been held up as that of one who more than any other man stimulated the delusion of witchcraft. This, the speaker said, was not so, and the first man to do him justice was the poet Longfellow, in 1863, and, later, William Frederic Poole, the latter giving a most accurate view of the case. The speaker then came to the Salem cases. He said that in 1692 the circumstances favored an outbreak of witchcraft. Everything in Massachusetts was going wrong; it was believed that the devil was in their midst, and the reverses in Indian wars and other afflictions had wrought the minds of the colonists up to a high pitch. Sagacity Shown by Deer. A stag had been turned out before a pack of hounds, and when somewhat pressed by them I observed it twice, says a contributor to Our Animal Friends; to go among a flock of sheep, and in both cases to double back, evidently with the intention of bailing the pursuit of the dogs. It would thus seem that the animal was aware of its being followed by the scent and not by sight. Mr. G. S. Erb, writing from Salt Lake City, tells of the sagacity of deer in that district in avoiding gun traps. The deer are very partial to the tops of maple trees, and when food was scarce on account of snow, it was the custom to cut down a maple tree and to place a gun, connected with the tree, in such a way that the deer could not pass between the tree and the gun without pressing the line so as to discharge the gun with the result that he would get shot. This experiment, he says, he tried at least sixty times, but never succeeded in killing the deer until he substituted a black linen thread for the fish line which he had first used, and then he had no difficulty in killing them, as the thread was so small and black that they could not distinguish it.

A few years ago, when the "flyers" were introduced on the Lake Shore Road, the president of the company gave orders that passes and half-rate tickets should not be honored on the new trains. It was not intended, of course, that the complimentary tickets issued to high officials of connecting roads should be void on the fast trains, but through an oversight a yearly pass was sent to the president of the Nickel Plate line which bore on its face the words: "Not good on Lake Shore limited trains." A few days after this pass had been issued, the president of the Lake Shore received an annual pass on the Nickel Plate with the following endorsement: "Not good on passenger-trains."

A Man in the Street Shot Dead by a Prisoner Confined in a Jail A crime has just been committed at Cadereyta Mendez, in the State of Queretaro, Mexico, which has attracted great attention not only in the locality, but also in the city of Mexico, owing to the extraordinary fact that the perpetrator was at the time in prison on a charge of robbery, and persons in that position as a rule have not the means nor the opportunity of doing bodily harm to people who are outside of prison. The victim of the assassin's bullet was a gentleman of the name of Jose Llaca, a prominent and substantial resident of the locality. Mr. Llaca had recently had some difficulties with persons in the vicinity owing to clashes in business interests, and a man by the name of Olvera had been put in jail on a charge of stealing certain mules belonging to Mr. Llaca from his hacienda, known by the name of La Llave. Mr. Llaca naturally supposed that after being put in prison the thief would be disarmed, and in going about his daily business in the town he, of course, never hesitated about passing in front of the prison. On the day of the murder he was passing on the opposite side of the street, and the prisoner, seeing him from the jail, shot at him from behind with such good aim that the bullet entered near the spinal column. The wounded man tried to draw his pistol, but just then received another bullet in the breast and fell back in a dying condition. The sister-in-law of Mr. Llaca, who had seen what had occurred from the balcony of a neighboring house, ran into the street to render assistance to her kinsman, and at the same time the murderer, who, through inexplicable carelessness, was allowed to get out of the prison, approached Mr. Llaca and shot him through the head, causing instant death. When he received the first shot Mr. Llaca was walking along reading a newspaper which he had just received from the capital. Ask Your Denier for Allen's Foot-Ease.
