PHENOMENON WILL BE INTERESTING Astronomers Are Making Great Preparations For Observation-Date In New York A Washington special says: The forthcoming total eclipse of the sun on May 28 is attracting world-wide attention, and astronomers everywhere have long been making preparations for observing and photographing the phenomenon. Besides making the usual time observations, interest largely centers in photographing the corona, the coronal streamers, the spectra of the chromosphere, and particularly the celebrated flash spectrum appearing KENTUCKY TENNESSEE MISSISSIPPI ALABAMA LOUISIANA THE PATH OF THE ECLIPSE T WEST VIRGINIA KENTUCKY VIRGINIA TENNESSEE NORTH CAROLINA BLEINSTEIN OH.375M SOUTH CAROLINA ORIGINAL CHURCH OH.575M ATLANTA ALABAMA GEORGIA ENDS AT ZILLSM FLORIDA ENDS AT 30M ST.

Chattanooga Millers Get Mad and Reduce Price Fifty Cents Per Barrel. The cut of 50 cents on the barrel of flour made by one of the Chattanooga mills Thursday created a stir in the city Friday and several hundred barrels changed hands at the reduced price, the millers limiting sales, however, to any one dealer to ten barrels. The cut grew out of a misunderstanding between the mills; a combination having been formed some time ago to keep up the prices. One miller reduced the prices and the other in a page cut 50 per cent lower. POSITION OF THE PLANETS. COMPANY. Columbia, Princeton, the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Virginia, the University of Chicago, etc. On May 28th the circular shadow of the moon cast by the sun upon the earth, and about eighty miles in diameter, will come sweeping across the American continent from New Orleans to Cape Henry. Along the centre of the path traveled by this swiftly moving shadow the sun will be completely hidden for a period of about two minutes. More than forty miles away, on either side of the track the eclipse will be partial, not total. An eclipse of the sun that will be visible can occur only when the moon is new. At that time she passes exactly between the earth and the sun. According to the calculations of Professor Lumsden, the round black shadow of the moon, like a great arm, will sweep in out of space some time after sunrise in the morning of May 28th. This gigantic arm will come in to contact with the earth somewhere near the Revilla Gigado islands in the Pacific ocean. With tremendous velocity the shadow will rush toward the mainland and will enter Mexico, near WEST VIRGINIA VIRGINIA NORTH CAROLINA BEGINAT GH.37.5M CARMAN SOUTH GH.95M CAROLINA BEGINAT CHAULTEER 31.0M GEORGIA BEGINAT CHAULTEER 31.0M ENDS AT 21.55M FLORIDA ST.

REEVES MAKES CONFESSION. Deputy Auditor of the Island of Cuba Admits of Wrong Doing. A special from Havana says: W. H. Reeves, deputy auditor of the island of Cuba, made a confession at midnight Friday and gave up $4,500 given to him by C. F. W. Neely, the arrested financial agent of posts at Havana, to perform certain services the day he left. General Wood and the postal inspectors refuse to disclose the nature of the confession, barely admitting that one has been made. It is claimed that $1,400 more will be recovered. General Wood says that the report from Muncie, Ind., that nearly $2,000,000 worth of stamps have been printed there and sent for distribution to Cuban postoffices can be regarded as a canard. It is believed now that the whole story is known and that the amount of the defalcation will fall between $100,000 and $125,000. Hoppstad In Possession of Methuen. Lord Roberts telegraphs the London war office as follows: "KNOONSTAD, May 18—Methuen entered Hoppstad Thursday unopposed. Generals Duprey and Daniels and forty men have surrendered. ENYOYS HEAR THE NEWS. Boers Now Visiting Us Are Informed of the Relief of Mafeking. The first intimation of the relief of Mafeking which came to the Boer envoys now in this country was conveyed to them by a reporter of the Associated Press, who boarded the congressional limited, upon which they were being conveyed to Washington, as it passed through Baltimore. Abraham Fischer, who acted as spokesman for the party, read the dispatches from Pretoria and London carefully, but without show of emotion. "I have no comment to make at this time," he said. SAVANNAH. GA., SATURDAY. MAY 26. 1900. BOERS MEET REBUFF President McKinley Refuses To Officially Recognize Them. Altogether the Laudable Mission of the Peace Envoys Seems To Be a Flat Failure. A Washington special says: Contrary to general expectation, the Boer peace envoys were given a definite answer Monday afternoon to their request that this government intervene in behalf of the twostruggling republics. President McKinley, through his secretary of state, informed them that this government had done everything looking toward intervention or mediation that it proposed to do. The fact that any further efforts on their part to secure action by this government would be futile was carried home to the Boer delegates in a way that apparently leaves no hope for them. Tarcee of the Boer delegates went to the state department at about half-past 2 o'clock, and were closed with Secretary Hay for just about an hour. Before their conference was completed, Lord Pauncefote, the British ambassador, put in an appearance on the scene and immediately after the departure of the Boers from the secretary's room, he was ushered into Secretary Hay's presence. The secretary and the ambassador had so talk of perhaps ten minutes, and then the secretary went over to the white house. He was with the president half an hour. Returning to the statement depart, he gave out a statement setting forth in full his reply to the delegates. TURNED DOWN BY SENATE. TURNED DOWN BY SENATE. Senator Allen introduced a resolution extending to the visiting Boer delegates the privileges of the floor of the senate, which was tabled when it came up, the vote upon the motion to table being almost entirely a party vote. Senators Allen, Mason and Tillman made strong speeches in favor of the adoption of the resolution, contending that it was simply in line with all precedents. In the course of his speech Senator Tillman declared: "Now you can' see what a change has come over us as a people. When Kossuth came here two great Republics in congress fought to have him recognized. Today the Republicans on this floor are cowards—cowards, I say, truckling to England and they have disregarded the United States by their miserable, sneaking action." BULLETS FOR BIOTERS. A Boy Killed; Threo Men and a Girl Wounded In St. Louis. One boy was killed and three men and a girl were wounded Monday as a result of the strike in St. Louis. Martin Zika, eighteen years of age, was struck in the left breast by a bullet fired from a street car, and Conductor Farley and Motorman Joseph Drake have been placed under arrest charged with the killing. The wounded are: Clarence E. Mullen, motorman, shot in upper portion of left arm; Minnie Krueger, eighteen years of age, struck in left thigh by a glancing bullet. Two rioters, seen to fall during a fight at Thirteenth and Herbert streets between a mob of 250 men and the police, were carried away by their friends and their names could not be learned. Zika was shot while standing in the door of his home. A mob of several hundred men had surrounded a car on the Tower Grove line and were threatening the conductor and motorman. A few stones had been thrown when a shot was fired from the car, the bullet striking Zika full in the breast. He died within a few minutes. CHAMBERS ACTS PARSON. Ex-Chief Justice of Samon Franches Bea- national Sermon in Alabama. Hon. W. L. Chambers, of Alabama, ex-chief justice of Samon, occupied the pulpit at Mount Vernon Place M. E. Church, South, last Sunday night, and prescheated a sensational sermon on the public and political issues of the day. This sermon by a layman dealing entirely with political questions, has created considerable talk in Washington. BUBOSIC IN 'FRISCO. Dread Disease Develops In Chinatown But Doctors Not Alarmed. The board of health of San Francisco has adopted a resolution declaring that bubonic plague exists in that city. While there are no living cases at present, there have been six deaths during the past six months, and they have decided to take precautions against the development and spread of the disease. A force of physicians went through Chinatown Saturday to treat Chinese with Haffkine prophylactic as a preventive against the plague. The members of the board of health say that there is absolutely no danger of the development of spread of the disease. BECKHAM WINS IN HIGH COURT Decision Handed Down In Kentucky Governorship Case. REFUSES TO HEAR THE CONTEST Chief Justice Fuller Dismisses the Case For Want of Jurisdiction. Four Justices Dissent. The supreme court of the United States handed down its decision Monday in the Kentucky governorship case in favor of Democratic Governor Beckham in both the quo warranto and the equity proceedings. For want of jurisdiction the court dismissed the writ of error from the Kentucky court of appeals. The opinion was handed down by Chief Justice Fuller and a vigorous dissenting opinion was delivered by Justice Harlan, the only one to advocate reversal of the Kentucky court's decision. Justices Brewer, Brown and McKenna also dissented from portions of the opinion. In dismissing the writ of error the chief justice said the court should be the last to overstep the bounds limiting its own jurisdiction and that in the determination of cases of this character, contests for state offices must necessarily be settled by the political branch of 'the government. That branch had acted in the Kentucky case when the general assembly took jurisdiction. There was no appeal from the assembly's decision, which was favorable to Goeeb and Beckham, except to the tribunal of the people, which tribunal, the chief justice said, was always in session. He also said the case was purely a state case—that Kentucky was in the full possession of its faculties as a member of the union and that there was no emergency at this time calling for interference of the general government to enforce constitutional guarantees or to put down domestic violence. The chief justice quoted numerous decisions holding that public offices are mere agencies or trusts, and not property, as such, nor are the salary and emoluments property secured by contract, but compensation for services actually rendered. A similar order was entered in the injunction case between the same parties. There were three dissenting opinions. Justice McKenna was the first of the dissentors to be heard. He stated that while he concurred in the result, he was not prepared to say that a public office was not property. Justice Brewer also based his dissent on the point of office as property. He also held the view that the United States courts were not without jurisdiction, but contended that the decision of the Kentucky court should be affirmed instead of dismissing the writ of error. In conclusion Justice Brewer agrees with the court of appeals of Kentucky that upon the award of the assembly no other judgment can be entered than that which sustains it. Justice Harlan, in his dissenting opinion, quotes various authorities and says that notwithstanding them the decision is that this court has no jurisdiction to inquire whether the citizen has been deprived without due process of law, of an office held by him under the constitution and laws of his state. If the contest between the one holding the office and the person seeking to hold it is determinable by the legislature, in a proscribed mode this court, it appears, cannot inquire whether that mode was pursued and cannot interfere for the professeion of the incumbent, even if the final action of the legislature was confessedly capricious and arbitrary, inconsistent with the recognized principles that belong to due process of law and not based, in any degree, upon the evidence taken in the contest. Quay Will Run Agalu. A Philadelphia dispatch says: Matt B. Quay has announced his candidacy for re-election to the senate. TO TANGLE SITUATION. Governor Smith Also Appoints Senator For Clark Vacancy. A Washington special says: The appointment of Martin Maginnis for United States senator by Governor Smith of Montana, has not changed the status of the Clark case. The appointment of Clark is recognized even by his enemies as legal. Unless fraud can be proven, the last appointment was made only to tangle the situation and the only effect it can have will be the reference of the credentials of both men to the committee and there pigeonholed until next session.

MAFEKING RELIEF IS CONFIRMED Queen Received the "Official" News With Great Gratification and Thankfulness. A report was received in London Saturday that the Pretoria. government had decided to sue Lord Roberts for peace. While no confirmation of this rumor is at hand, it is generally credited. Displayed in the most conspicuous style in the London Daily Express of Sunday the dominant war news of the morning in the following editorial statement: "We have the best reason for stating that in the last twenty-four hours a telegram has been received at the foreign office, addressed personally to the prime minister, from President Krueger, proposing terms of peace. The exact terms of the message cannot be stated, but we believe it is couched in an exceedingly humble strain." It is inconceivable, of course, that Lord Salisbury can have sent any reply except the one that stands ready on the lip of every Briton—unconditional surrender. Saturday night's court circular contained the following: "The queen received on Friday night, with the greatest gratification and thankfulness, the news of the relief of Mafeking after a heroic defense of over seven months, by Baden-Powell and troops under his command." The significance of this, which refers to the receipt by her majesty of a copy of the Associated Press Pretoria dispatch, is that it is the first official intimation of the relief of Mafeking, and it would not have been made had any doubts existed in the official mind as to the correctness of the news. The boisterous rejoicing over the reports from Mafeking have become riots in parts of London, Aberdeen and Belfast and elsewhere in the United Kingdom. GRANT STATUE UNVEILED In Great Rotunda of Capital With Elaborate Ceremonies. The statue of General Grant, presented by the Grand Army of the Republic to the nation, was unveiled in the great rotunda of the capitol at Washington Saturday and elaborate ceremonies commemorative of the event were held in the hall of representatives in the presence of a vast concourse of people who included the widow, daughter and descendants of the general, hundreds of his comrades in arms, the officers and committees of the Grand Army of the Republic prominent in military and social circles. The statue represents the contributions of thousands of his comrades, none of whom was allowed to subscribe more than 15 cents, and is the result of a movement started shortly after General Grant's death at Mt. McGregor, July, 1885. The unveiling took place shortly before noon in the presence of Mrs. Grant, Mrs. Sartoris, the officers of the Grand Army of the Republic, Speaker Henderson and Senator Frye, president pro tem, of the senate. In the senate the Grant ceremonies were also held. After a handsome enlogy by Mr. Harris, Mr. Turley, of Tennessee, delivered a notable address from the view point of a private soldier in the ranks of the Confederate army and his tribute was brilliant. At 2:30 p. m. the ceremony of accepting the statues of Benton and Blair from Missouri began, the other business of the senate being laid aside. Alabama Democratic Committee. A conference was held in Birmingham, Ala., Saturday, between the Democratic executive committee and the nominees of the Democratic party for the various state offices and electors. A campaign committee headed by F. L. Pettus, of Selma, was named. NEHRO METHODISTS Hold Their Great Quadrennial Conference In Columbus, O. The quadrennial conference of the A. M. E. church opened at Columbus, Ohio, Monday with over 400 delegates present. After preliminary exercises had been held and the auditorium dedicated to religious services by Bishop Turner, presiding officer, the quadrennial sermon was preached by Bishop A. M. Grant. Bishop Grant traced the history and growth of the A. M. E. church, and among other facts and figures pointed out that the church had been growing in membership at the rate of 84 an hour during the last four years. NO. 33. BOER ENVOYS ARE WELCOMED Unofficial Reception In Their Honor at Washington. MEMBERS OF CONGRESS PRESENT Patriotic Addresses Supporting the Cause of the Burghers Delivered By Various Speakers. An audience, remarkable for its size, sympathy and enthusiasm, greeted the Boer envoys at the reception given in their honor Sunday night at the Grand opera house. Washington City, under the auspices of the congressional and citizens' committee. Long before the time for the meeting to open, the house was crowded to suffocation and many were turned away unable to gain admittance. While official Washington was not represented in any manner, there were probably thirty members of the senate and the house occupying seats in the auditorium and on the stage. Speaker Henderson was in one of the boxes, and others present were Senators Daniel of Virginia, Teller, Tillman, Pettigrew, Mason and Wellington, Representatives, Shaffroth, Atwater, Slayer, Glynn, Ruppert, Gaines, Latimer, Lents, Sulzer, Landis, Litsney, Ryan, Greene, Henry of Massachusetts, Hay, DeArmond, Clark of Missouri, Meirs and Rhea of Kentucky. One of the boxes, it was stated, had been reserved for the president, a committee having 'been sent to the white house with tickets of admission to the opera house, but no representative of the president's official household was on hand. Chairman Sulzer, of the reception committee, presided, and a number of addresses, all of them patriotic in character and earnestly supporting the cause of the Boers, were made, the speakers including Messrs. Fischer, Wolmarans and Wessels, the Boer envoy; Senator Wellington, Hon. Bourke Cockran, of New York, and Mr. Sulzer. Chairman Sulzer was the first speaker. After welcoming the envoys and emphatically stating that the occasion was non-partisan and non-political in character, he said in part: "England now and always has been the aggressor. The Boers will never aurrender their love of liberty. They can only be conquered by being exterminated, and England must not be permitted to exterminate them and steal their homes. Her criminal march of devastation must and will be checked." The three enjoys were introduced in turn by Mr. Sulzer and each of them was given a cordial reception. Their remarks were listened to with close attention. The audience gave a standing greeting to Commissioner Fischer, who told his hearers why the enjoys had come to this country and what they hoped to accomplish. His remarks were very much in keeping with what he already has said in published interviews. "We have come across the seas from $ \pi $o different republics," said he, "to see whether here in the hearts of the people of a greater sister republic the spirit of more than a hundred years ago is still alive, whether the sentiment that caused its people to take up arms to obtain its freedom is strong enough to recognize the feeling possessed by us. We come to you as a great liberty loving people in whom the sense of justice and fair play is strong, and look to you to find a practical scheme to obtain peace with justice. "We come to appeal to your people and speak to you as brother Republicans and to ask for a hearing, and hope to obtain it. The receptions which we have been given have been most gratifying to us ever since we have set foot on your shoes. There is no doubt, from assurances received from all parts of the country that the sympathy of the people is with us. We look to you to help us, if possible, and whether we get assistance or not we appreciate the kindly feeling which has been manifested for us." TO PAY WAR LOSSES. Important Bill Relating to Civil Struggle Passed In House. For the first time since the civil war the house Fridgy passed a measure to pay Confederate soldiers for losses growing out of the civil war. It was a bill introduced by Mr. Cox, of Tennessee, to pay the Confederate soldiers who surrendered at Appomattox for the loss of horses and other personal effects taken from them in violation of Lee's capitulation to Grant by which officers and men of Lee's army were allowed to retain their baggage, side arms and horses. The bill originally carried $200,000, but the specific sum was stricken out. The Savannah Tribune PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY BY THE TRIBUNE PUBLISHING CO.

The Montgomery conference will be the resultant of much good. All of the speakers at the conference were not against the Negro. He had the strongest advocates who completely knocked out the prejudiced and impracticable arguments made by those opposed to him. Even Bourke Cochran who advocates the repealing of the Fifteenth Amendment to the constitution of the United States, for certain reasons, was manly enough to admit that the Negro is progressive. The southern dailies in a spirit of narrowness refused to publish the full address, or publish in part what was said commendatory of the Negro. The Negro is willing to let his record be dissected, and when it is done no fairminded person can say other than commend him for what he has done for himself in these few years of freedom, a freedom in part only for some of them. While the Negro should feel conciliated to a certain extent for the progress he has made, he should not be satisfied with it. He must remember that the eyes of the civilized world are upon him, that more is expected of him now than at any other time and that he can not afford to make a mistake, or a failure. On account of the recent tragedy in Augusta, the street railway Co has resumed its discrimination between the races, the whites are compelled to ride in front and the colored in the rare seats. Without any organized understanding, but with a spirit of indignation. The colored citizens have refused to patronize the cars. The Company endeavored to separate the races some two years ago but was boycotted by the colored citizens, and had to abolish the order. The boyoott this time will be more effective. It may be a hardship on some of our people to keep off of the cars. There is a principle underlying the entire affair, and this principle must be upheld. If it is upheld effectively it will greatly benefit our people. There is a similar state of affairs in Atlanta. The colored citizens are not riding on the cars. If the street car company can afford to do without the patronage of the colored patrons, why then the colored patrons can better afford to walk. If they can't do without the patronage of the colored patrons let each company in the state go before the next legislature and have the nefarious law repealed. If this is not done and discrimination is used the colored people will do as they did before there were street cars. The count of the people in the United States will begin in all parts of the country June 1, and end in the cities two weeks later and in the rest of the county before the close of the month. The people are to be counted at their places of residence, but as many persons and families will be away from their homes during June there is some danger that such persons will not be counted. If they are not counted, the locality in which they live will be misrepresented to that extent, and in some cases this misrepresentation may be enough to affect the representation in Congress of the State from which they come. Local pride and state pride, therefore, should influence all such absentees to take reasonable precautions against being omitted from enumeration in their places of residence. Such omissions are most likely to occur in the large cities where families close their homes and go elsewhere for the summer. The occurrence of the Paris exposition this year is likely to increase the number absent from the country. In all cases on contemplated absence the head of the family is requested by the Census office to communicate with the supervisor of the district in which he lives. He is also requested to leave information regarding his answers to the questions which are to be asked with some responsible neighbor who will agree to see that it reaches the enumerator on his rounds. Such information might better be left as a memorandum in writing, as in that case it is less likely to be overlooked. The questions to which answers are desired apply primarily to the population, but also to all farms and manufacturing establishments. They are being published from time to time in the press of the country. By taking this trouble the absent citizen will do justice to his locality and his state, and materially aid the Census office in the performances of its duties. It Shows the Low State of Morals of Participants. The recent killing of a young white man named Aleck Whitney and the lynching of a young colored man named William Wilson for the crime at Augusta, Ga., last week is one of the most deplorable that ever occurred in Georgia, owing to the character and social standing of both the victims, and the comparatively trifling incident which led up to the horrible affair. The mere dispute over a seat in a street car, as the public knows, has blotted out two young lives, disgraced a city, and caused a bitter feeling of antagonism between the races in a community that has boasted of its goodness, culture and civilization. Had the law been permitted to take its course after the killing of young Whitney, and it was shown that young Wilson had a concealed deadly weapon on his person and shot his young antagonist to death, the colored people of Augusta and of Georgia, would have been a unit for a swift and sure infliction of the highest penalty known to the law for such an aggravated offense. But unfortunately the heinious crime of the mob has destroyed forever all opportunity of arriving at any satisfactory knowledge as to the truth of the killing of young Whitney, for it has been openly stated in Augusta that no pistol was taken from Wilson nor has any been found at the place of the shooting, but to the contrary it has been stated that Wilson's pistol was at his home when Whitney was shot. Be that as it may a grand jury composed of "the best citizens" of Richmond county has declared its inability to find any evidence as to the perpetrators of the crime of murdering young Wilson in the woods after he was taken from the officer on a train a few miles from Augusta. thus forever closing the avenues of a legal investigation of the whole matter. The proper officers of the law in Augusta, whose duty it is to arrest and safely keep persons charged with crime, has shown the greatest cowardice in not keeping their prisoner by defending the jail at all hazards against the mob who would take the law into its own hand—indeed it looks like the officers played into the hands of the mob, to the burnin' shame and disgrace of one of the fairest and greatest cities in our State. But despite the grand jury and the officers of the law, the light of truth has shown the low state of morals and civilization of the men who composed the mob of lynchers. When the newspapers say that Wilson was lynched by the friends and associates of young Whitney who was a "church member," and a "member of the Y. M. C. A." This mob then presumably "good" young men-kept their wretched prisoner in the woods all night, and his body was found in the morning most horribly mutilated. Who can tell of the horrors of that night! There could be no motive for mutilating a dead body as was committed on the person of Wilson; therefore he was tortured, it is presumed, while alive and conscious of pain and suffering. HIS BODY MUTILATED. The ears, nose, and fingers were in time hacked from the helpless prisoner, a cross was gashed on his forehead and breast, and as if this devilment was not enough the monsters performed a most atrocious and nameless act of mutilation upon their helpless and lingering victim, who was then hung by the neck and his body riddled by bullets, and his head beaten to a jelly. The "good" young men then returned to their homes, and the virtuous grand jury has declared its inability to secure satisfactory evidence on which to bring in an indictment against any individual members concerned in the lynching of Wilson which they denounced as inexcusable The good people of Augusta owe it to themselves, to public opinion and to civilization to see that this barbarous band of mob monsters are hounded down and brought to justice, and thus clear away the foul blot that now disgraces their city. The way seems dark and gloomy at times for our people, but that should not cause them to feel pessimistic. There is a silver lining to every cloud and all that we have to do is to wait and labor patiently with a full intention to come out conquerer, and we will do so despite all attempts to the contrary. ARE all of our leading young men and women doing that which will give to our youths an inspiration to become moral men and women? The aim of the Negro should be upward and his watchword progress on every moral, line. Rev. H. H. Proctor, pastor of the First Congregational church of Atlanta, has accepted, the invitation to preach the annual commencement sermon at the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, Tuskegee, Ala., Sunday May 27th. Dr. I. B: Scott, Editor, The Southern Christain Advocate has also consented to deliver the annual commencement address at the same institution Thursday May 31st. R. W., G. L. Bowen, Grand Treasurer, Savannah. Hilton Lodge had "work" in all of the degrees on Wednesday night. The local lodges are preparing to properly celebrate St. John's day. Pythagoras Lodge celebrated its 25th, anniversaries Thursday night. Within the past ten months four chapters of the Order of the Eastern Star have been set up and others will be set up in the near future. In a letter from Bro. S. S. Mincey speaking about the Order of E. S., he says that "We have a fine chapter at Ailey now. We have 22 members already and in a short time we will have 35 or 40. We hope to have the best chapter in the state." Past Master R.M. Gourdine of Lyons called in to see us on Tuesday. Bro. Gourdine is preparing to have quite a celebration at Lyons in honor of St. John's day. The grand master will be present, and besides the parade an address will be delivered. The night before the ladies of Mt. Temah will be organized into a chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star. As a good set-off to the extravagant ideas of some ritualists about rigidity of work, read the following, which is said to have actually occurred: A lodge in Indiana was presided over by a Master who had an exaggerated notion of discipline. One night he had met his Lodge in called meeting not a member absent to instruct them in the work. Teaching them the use of the gavel, he had just called them up with three knocks when he leaned too far back, fell against the window that was behind him, fell through, fell to the ground four stories, and broke his neck. Picked up the next morning, he was buried decently; but not a Mason came to the funeral. More strange still, not a Mason appeared in that village. It was inexplicable. Forty women left widows, two hundred and twenty children left orphans, eighty four merchants left in the lurch with unpaid bills. Twenty years after that somebody went up in that fourth story, broke open the door, and beheld the Lodge a Lodge of skeletons! Strange but true; they had rigidly obeyed the W. M. and awaiting for the knock to seat them, had starved to death. Each was standing in an attitude of respectful attention, looking to the East, and had not the pitying citizens taken them down and tenderly removed them, they would have been standing there yet. Such is life.—Masonic Jewel. A Commendable Step. Atlanta, Ga., May 24, 1900. To the Committee on Electors appointed by the Republican State Convention, GENTLEMEN: I take this means of notifying you that at the Sixth District Republican Convention, I was nominated as presidential elector. The State Convention that met subsequent to the meeting of the Sixth District, empowered you to name electors. I have now to offer my declination to serve as elector, thereby leaving you free to elect a man in my place. Yours respectfully, IROS. H. MALONE. The foregoing card of Mr. Malone is to be greatly commended. It shows that he bows to the will of the State convention, notwithstanding the fact that his district had selected him as its Presidential elector. It shows that he is a true party man in recognizing the highest party authority of his State and he will be remembered for his loyalty and his fidelity. Editor Cheeks no More. Before the summer's scorching sun had begun its parching rays, after winter's blizzards and falling snows, at the zenith of spring white flowers are blooming, the trees budding and the merry birds singing, the soul of Rev. R. Milton Cheeks, D. D., passed from earth and returned to the God who gave it. He finished his work early in life, having been a hard worker for several years. He pastored many charges in various parts of the country and made such an impression by his good work that the General Conference at Wilmington, N. C., in 1896 recognized his ability by electing him editor of the Southern Christian Recorder. He took immediate charge and with the assistance of his excellent wife made the power of the Recorder felt all over this country. On Tuesday of last week the Conference re-elected him editor by acclamation—an honor which few General officers receive The glad news was telegraphed Mrs. Cheeks in Atlanta, but Saturday last she received the sad tidings that her husband was no more. He was taken to Washington, D. C., for interment, Rev. Dr. J. A. Johnson, pastor Metropolitan A. M. E. church of that city, accompanying the remains. To the bereaved wife and relatives THE TRIBUNE extends its sympathies. A Representative Gathering. On last Sunday afternoon the young men who are endeavoring to organize a Young Men's Christian Association, held a meeting at the Ford's Opera house. The meeting was well attended by some of our most representative young men. Secretary Hunton of the Association was present and gave the young men wholesome advice in the matter of organization. Several timely suggestions were made which will tend to assist the young men in a thorough organization of the association. A business meeting was held last night and the regular meeting will be held tomorrow afternoon, at which all young men are invited. Among the speakers at the meeting last Sunday was Rev. M. J. Maddox. Breylties. Mrs. Camelia Bland, sister-in-law of Mr. W. H. Woodhouse, died at the residence of her daughter, on Thursday morning of last week at ten o'clock.

The Fifteenth Amendment Celebrated by Citizens. The annual May parade of the First Battalion Infantry. Georgia State Troops, colored, took place on Monday afternoon last. The Companies assembled at the usual place and marched through some of the principal streets to the park where a short rest was bad, after which the battalion went through its parade and review. Each company was out in its full strength, and made an appearance that would have done credit to the regulars. The march was excellent and the movements showed much practice. The discipline was good and in fact everything went to show that able officers are in command. The Georgia Artillery also paraded and made a commendable appearance. The company was commanded by Lt. J. F. Andrews. On account of the absence from the city of Col. Deveaux, the battalion was commanded by Capt. H. N. Walton, with the following companies and commanders: Co. A, Capt. W. J. Pinckney: Co. C, Capt. Nelson Law; Co. D, Lt. Julius Maxwell; Co. F, Lt. R. L West. Cos. B, being in Atlanta, and E, in Macon, were excused from parading. Lt. J. H. Bugg, Inspector of Rifle Practice, made his first appearance as a member of the staff and looked every inch a soldier. Col. Deveaux has appointed a full set of staff officers some of whom were unable to be out, but will be in a position to do so by the next parade The companies of the battalion are being placed in first class condition in every respect. Each company has recently received from the State twelve dollars and fifty cents for the first month's armory rent, which will be paid quarterly hereafter. The State has also furnished the companies forty uniforms each. A part of these uniforms arrived this week. Uniforms for the five members of the non commissioned staff of the battalion are also furpished by the State. On to Beaufort.

Each one of these excursions will be successful. The Colquitt Bines will go on the Santee. There has been some apprehension about the excursionists landing at Beaufort.

Food is Repulsive the stomach that is irritated and sensitive. Nervous disorders of the brain irritate the stomach nerves making it weak and easily deranged. That's why so many people who suffer from headache have weak stomachs. All nervous troubles, whether of the brain, stomach or heart yield most readily to Dr. Miles' Nervine. "Starting from a small spot in my brain the pain would steadily increase until it seemed that my head would split open, would be deathly sick at the stomach, would vomit terribly and many times have from 24 to 30 hours without food or drums. After suffering from these spells for 13 years was completely cured by six bottles of Dr. Mile. Nervine." MRS. J. M. WHITE, Williamston, Mich. As Jiny Stone. FIRST-CLASS DENTAL WORK.

It is different from an honest tired feeling. It is a sure sign of poor blood. You can cure it by making your blood rich and pure with Hood's Sarsaparilla. That is what other people do thousands of them. Take a few bottles of this good medicine now and you will not only get rid of that weak, languid, exhausted feeling, but it will make you feel well all through the summer. Tired Feeling—"For that tired and worry out feeling in the spring, and as a strength butlor and appetite creator, I have found Hood's Sarsaparilla without an equal." Mrs. L. B. Woodland, 235 Ballon Street, Woonsocket, R. I. Hood's Sarsaparilla is America's Greatest Blood Medicine. Never Admit Defeat. Never admit defeat or poverty, though you seem to be down and have not a caust. Stoutly assert your divine right to be a man, to hold your head up and look the world in the face; step bravely to the front whatever opposes, and the world will make way for you. No one will insist upon your rights while you yourself doubt that you possess the qualities requisite for success. Never allow yourself to be a traitor to your own cause by undermining your self-confidence. There never was a time before when persistent, original force was so much in demand as now. The namby-pamby, nerveless man has little show in the hustling world of to-day. In the twentieth century a man must either push or be pushed. Every one admires the man who can assert his rights and has the power to demand and take them if doniled him. No one can respect the man who slinks in the rear and apologizes for being in the world. Negative virtues are of no use in winning one's way. It is the positive man, the man with original energy and push that forges to the front—Success. The Philosophy of Criticism: "So you intend to be a critic?" "Yes." "Why?"

Somo of the Exploits of Vlvler, the Eccentric Horn Player. The death, announced from Nice, at the age of seventy-nine, of the famous horn-player and practical joker, Engene Leon Vivier, will recall stories of a man who figured largely in London and Parisian society in the early days of the Third Empire. Vivier was a magnificent solo horn-player, but he was even more remarkable as a humorist. His practical jokes may seem rather stupid now, but in their day they wore the talk of Europe. One of them was to tie a young calf on the second floor balcony of his house, so that a crowd assembled and blocked up the street. Vivier's excuse was that he hated to see boys hurrying on their errands, and adopted this plan to tempt them to loiter. Then he kept the calf in his rooms so long that it grew into a bullock, and when the police interfered they found it impossible to get the animal downstairs. Vivior invented a plan of mixing gum with soap, for the manufacture of soap bubbles, of a particularly large and tough description, which he set flying over St. Petersburg, to the alarm of the Emperor Nicholas, who imagined it to portend some new insurrection. In London he had a fancy for keeping in his rooms off Regent street a cock, for the board of which he insisted on paying eighteen pence a week, and which he pretended to treat as a familiar spirit, jabbering to it for some minutes and then rushing frantically out of the house, his handkerchief to his eyes, sobbing as though his heart would break? In an omnibus he once pretended to he mad, shouted at the top of his voice and presented a pistol at his own head. Then, when seized, he gravely broke the supposed pistol in half, handed one piece to the conductor, and proceeded to cat the other half, which was chocolate. Napoleon III, was especially his admirer, and gave him many sinicures, among them an inspectorship of mines, which meant the drawing from time to time of a comfortable salary. When Vivior wanted to travel Napoleon used to send him, at the Government expense, as a special imperial courier with secret despatches. Vivier was a self-made man, and as little more than a lad he came (part of the way on foot) from his native Alacacio, where his father was a tax-gatherer, to Paris, and became a player in the band at the Italian Opera. Afterward he studied seriously under Gallay, and soon, as a soloist, took the foremost place. He first visited London in 1848, on the recommendation of Louis Philippe, who thought a great deal of him, and his celebrity lasted practically until the fall of the Empire. He then retired to the South of France, keeping up his character for eccentricity. He invented a trick which greatly perplexed the last generation, of playing, or pretending to play, four notes at once on the horn, the effect being somewhat similar to that of four horns playing together. Splendid. "Strange thing, this modern city life," declared the resident who had long been identified with it. "Ever stop to think of it? While you sleep there are hundreds of policemen patrolling the streets to protect life and property. There is not a reminder of the old foul times when a man had to provide a body guard and an adequate force for the protection of his home. A community of interests now care for the individual as an integral part of the masses. "The other morning I had a vague, dozing idea that there were men clambering over the roof, men rushing about the yard, men pounding at the doors, rattling gongs and placing noisy fire engines at the various plugs within easy reach. I muttered a few lines about having my best sleep broken in upon and spent a few vague moments in wrestling with the probability that there might be something wrong. "Was there? I should say yes. When I reached the scene of activity without I learned that the house had been afire, that some one had kindly notified the department of the fact, that engines had sweoped down from every direction and that the property had been saved and the danger to life averted before I knew that there was such a serious menace to either. I just want to say that it is a mighty good thing to live where municipal responsibility is so promptly and efficiently met." 'His Own Suggestion. "Furthermore, John Henry Meeker," said Mrs. Meeker, who was standing in front of the mirror and putting the finishing touches to her toilet, "I want you to take notice that I am perfectly capable of getting ready for church without any prompting from you, and you can cough and look at your watch as much as you please—it won't hurry me a single second. Do you clearly understand that?" "Yes, my dear," mildly replied Mr. Meeker, "though I think I could understand it a little better if you didn't have your mouth quite so full of hairpins."—Chicago Tribune. A Versatile Man. It is not likely that the present year will be a prosperous one for artists; but an advertisement which is appearing in the Daily News discloses a very serious state of affairs. "Position desired on yacht," says the advertiser, "by artist, having served apprenticeship at sea. Well educated. Would undertake purser's work, wait in salon, or other duties. Also make sketches. Exhibitor, Royal Academy."

In commenting on the low subscription price asked for the average weekly newspaper, the Atlanta Constitution remarks editorially: That many weekly newspaper publishers have committed a grave mistake in dropping their prices of subscription, must now be as evident to themselves as it is to others. No doubt the idea was caught from an impression that weekly issues from large cities were sold at a lower price, and that there was a rivalry to be met. In the first place there was no rivalry, since that was a physical, impossibility. The weekly newspaper is the chronicle of the local community, just as the city paper is that of the whole country. It would be as preposterous for the city paper to attempt to fill the field of the local paper as it would be for the latter to replace the former. Their aims and missions are different, and in no way can they displace each other. The weekly newspaper results from the existence of a local community which has business ventures, political ideas and social ventures of its own. The more important these interests are the more perfectly the newspaper becomes their exponent, the more indispensible it is to the people. Therefore, a community which will not support its local newspaper furnishes but mighty poor campaigning ground for the city paper. The latter comes in as an addenda to a good work which is already going on, as an evidence of a sharpened appetite for reading. The first duty of every progressive community is to have its local newspaper, which should be liberally supported, and which should not be held in competition with any city publication. A poor representation would reflect upon the town; a good appearance gives the town character abroad. What, then, does the community owe the publisher? Certainly it owes him that return which would have to be given to the lawyer, the commercial man or any other public servant. The weekly newspaper publishers should awake to their mission and insist upon the support which is their due. The town which does not support its local paper has no claim to consideration either at home or abroad. Only a Delusion. A Memphis woman who is a great stickler for fresh air tells this joke on herself: Her husband is as much afraid of draughts as she is of foul air, and argument frequently runs high on the question of fresh air in their bedroom at night. And, better than argument, he sometimes slyly closes the window after his wife has "set" it for the night. One night the lady woke up with that stifed feeling and, declaring that her husband had neglected to turn the slats of the inside shutters, got up and did it herself, then, went back to bed breathing deep, full breaths of pure air that came in through the open window and slept peacefully; conscious that she was not poisoning her lungs with impure air. Imagine her astonishment the next morning when she went to close the window to find that it had been tightly closed all night—Memphis Schlitzer. Do Your Feet Ache and Burn?
