PRESIDENT AGAIN ANSWERS Reply Is a Reiteration of the Demands Previously Made By This Government. A Washington special says: Official confirmation of the rumored appointment of Li Hung Chang as peace envoy was received at the state department Sunday morning. At half-past 10 o'clock Acting Secretary Adee received from Minister Wu n copy of the imperial edict announcing this appointment. This copy was received by Minister Wu late Saturday night, and as the memorandum given out by the state department shows, was forwarded by the privy council at Pekin under date of the fourteen day of the seventh moon (August 8) to Governor Yuan at Tsi Nan, Shan Tung, who transmitted it on the seventh day of the same moon (August 11th) to the taotai at Shanghai, by whom it was transmitted to Minister Wu, who received it on the night of the same day (August 11th). The text of the imperial edict is as follows: "In the present conflict between Chinese and foreigners there has been some misunderstanding on the part of the foreign nations, and also a want of proper management on the part of some of the local authorities. A clash of arms is followed by calamities results, and caused a rupture of friendly relations, which will ultimately do no good to the world. We hereby appoint Li Hung Chang as our envoy plenipotentiary, with instructions to propose at once by telegraph to the governments of the several powers concerned for the immediate cessation of hostile demonstrations, pending negotiations, which he is hereby authorized to conduct on our part, for the settlement of whatever questions may have to be dealt with. The questions are to be severally considered in a satisfactory manner, and the result of the negotiations reported to us for sanction. Respect this." In many respects this is the most important information which has been received from China since the first cipher message from Minister Conger told of the safety of the ministers and the legation force. This indicates more clearly than anything else has that the central government of Pekin at last realizes the gravity of the situation and need for speedy action on its part. It is regarded by officials, in a sense, a ray of light piercing the gloom which has clouded the situation. As yet nothing has been received from Li Hung Chang on the line indicated, but the transmission of the edict to the Chinese minister here with instructions that it be laid before the authorities will doubtless be immediately followed by action on the line indicated. PRESIDENT SENDS REPLY. Sunday night Secretary Adeo, by direction of President McKinley, presented to Minister Wu for transmission to his government the reply of the United States to the imperial edit appointing Li Hung envoy to negotiate with the powers for the cessation of hostilities. In effect, the text of the reply is a reiteration of the demands previously made by the United States upon China, coupled with a vigorous intimation that no negotiations will be entered into until the Chinese government shall have complied with these demands. LONDON SUSPECTS RUSSIA. Displaced at Czar's Act In Allowing Delegers to Leave Pekin. The Russian government's permission to M. DeGiers and his staff to leave Pakin under Chinese guarantee, while the United States and other governments tell their ministers to hold out till relieved, is the subject of much moment in London, where supposed Russian resigns are closely scrutinized. REBUTTAL TESTIMONY Taken In Powers Case Wherein the De- fendant's Story Is Contradicted. A large number of witnesses in rebuttal for the prosecution was heard at Georgetown, Ky., Saturday in the trial of former Secretary State Powers, for alleged complicity in the Goebel shooting. Some of them were strong in their contradictions of witnesses for the defenseense. The prosecution laid much store by the testimony of two witnesses who swore to taking Calab Powers with other leaders of the mountain crowd on the morning of January 25th. The defendant had testified that he was ill in his room all that afternoon. ROBBERS DIE GAME. Three miles east of Goodland, Kan., Friday morning the two men, who robbed a Union Pacific train in Colorado on August 5th and killed a passenger, were surrounded by local officers. A fierce exchange of shots ensued, during which one of the robbers was shot and killed, J. B. Riggs, owner of the Commercial hotel of Goodland, and George Cullins, members of the posse, were severely wounded and another of the pursuing party, name unknown, was wounded slightly. The second robber barricaded himself in a kitchen, which was fired by the posse numbering fifty men, all armed with winchosters, and the robber was burned to death. The Union Pacific Kansas City, Denver train was robbed between Limon Junction and Hugo, Colo., ninety miles east of Denver. Many persons were relieved of their money and valuables, and W.J.Fay, an aged man who registered, was killed by one of the robbers. The robbers dropped off the train at Hugo and escaped. It was later learned they went to the ranch of D. E. Bartholomew, three miles out from Goodland and one hundred miles over and from Hugo, and asked for food and lodging for a few days. They said they did not want to go to town as their clothes were ragged. Thursday night a boy whom they sent to Goodland to get the Denver papers, reported the circumstances. From the boy's description the men were believed to be the Hugo robbers, and a posse went at once to take them in charge with the result stated.

Government Makes Arrangements to Pay Soldiers at New Station. The postoffice department announces the completion of arrangements whereby remittance may be made to the troops operating in China or those who will hereafter be sent to that locality. A money order office has been established at military postal station No. 1, China, and intending remitters may safely purchase money orders drawn as above and their payment will be provided for notwithstanding the troops may be located at various points in China. For this service the domestic rate is charged, namely 30 cents for $100, being the same rate as for the issue of orders on local points in the United States. MONUMENT IS UNVEILED. Tribute of the Women of Edgefield, South Carolina, to Confederates Dead. A work begun during the lifetime of the late Mrs. Lucy Holcomb Pickens was consummated at Edgefield, S. C., Thursday when a monument to the confederate dead from the county was unveiled in the presence of 3,000 people. There were three speakers—General M. C. Butler, Congressman J. W. Tolbert and ex-Governor John C. Shepard. The women of Edgefield have been working to secure funds for this monument for many years. Waldersee Is Acceptable. It is authoritatively stated that the United States government will accept Count Waldersee (German) as the commander of the international forces in China if the necessity exists, at the time of his arrival in that country. REFUSES TO SIGN WRIT. Judge Lacombe Makes a Decision Favorable to C. F. W. Neeley. Judge Lacombe, of the United States circuit court at New York, Monday, refused to sign the writ of extradition of Charles F. W. Neeley on account the action of Judge Wallace in granting an appeal to the supreme court in the habeas corpus proceedings, but indicated that he did not think Judge Wallace understood the real situation of the case, and he believed if it went to the supreme court in its present shape the application for a writ of habeas corpus would be denied. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. AUGUST 18. 1900. REQUEST BY KRUGER Transvaal President Sought Protection of United States. The Report Comes From London But Brings Forth a Denial From Officials at Washington. A London special says: President Kruger at one time made a formal application to the United States to grant him a sanctuary in case the necessity arose. This occurred, according to Secretary of State Reitz, of the Transvaal republic, the day Lord Roberts entered Pretoria. The details of the event have been related to a representative of the Associated Press, by Mr. F. W. Unger, who has just returned from the Transvaal, and who secured the information from Secretary Reitz and others. After quoting the secretary as saying President Kruger would never take to the mountains, on account of his age, but would retreat down the line, finally escaping to Portuguese territory, Mr. Unger said that the day the British entered Pretoria President Kruger sent for Mr. W. Stanley Hollis, the United States consul at Lorenzo Marques, and Mr. Hollis was taken to Machadodorp in a special car. President Kruger asked him if his government would grant (President Kruger) an asylum in the Lorenzo Marques consulate until President Kruger made other arrangements for his departure. President Kruger expressed, fears concerning his treatment by the Portuguese government and wished to guard against any possible British landing parties. Mr. Hollis asked for time to consult with his government, and President Kruger assured him he would receive a week's notice before putting the plan into execution. In consequence of this visit to the Transvial and the transmission of President Kruger's request to Washington, Mr. Hollis received instructions from Secretary Hay not to leave Portuguese territory again. He was thus compelled to neglect the interests of the British prisoners at Noolt Gedacht. DENIAL IS MADE. It is said at the state department in Washington that no formal application has ever come from Consul Hollis for sanctuary in the American consulate for President Kruger, and that the instructions sent to the consul to confine his energies to his consular duties was not a result of any discussion of an asylum for the Boer president, as the department was not aware that Mr. Hollis had visited the president. It appears that some intimation on the subject reached the Washington officials, but it is stated to have not been such a formal application as would have been requisite. Had formal application been made, it is stated that it would have been passed upon by the president, but there has been nothing communicated which called for such action. JUDGE'S CHARGE SEVERE. Powers' Friends Consider Instructions to Jury Too Sweeping. The final instructions were read to the jury by Judge Cantrill in the Powers trial Tuesday afternoon, and Judge James Sims made the opening argument for the defense. Defendant Powers was in such a nervous and critical condition that his attorneys filed a physician's affidavit that he was unable to attend the night session, but Judge Cantrill said a cot could be provided for him and he could lie down during the speeches. Powers was able to sit up, however. The instructions to the jury were considered by defendant's attorneys as being entirely too severe and as tending to lessen Powers' chances of acquittal, although they are still confident of a verdict in his favor. Huntington's Daughter In Europe. A dispatch from London by the Associated Press said the Princess Hatzfield, daughter of C. P. Huntington, was booked to sail for the United States on board the steamer Majestic August 15th. TRIED TO "STEAL" ROBERTS. Unique Plot of the Boers Is Discovered and Frustrated. Lord Roberts wires to the London war office from Pretoria under Friday's date: "A plot to carry me off has been discovered. It was clumsily conceived. The ring leaders and all concerned are now under arrest." Great Britain Is Willing. It is learned at the foreign office in Berlin that Great Britain has signified its willingness to accept Count Walderser as leader of the international forces if the appointment is favored by the other powers. ROBINSONCONFESSED Mrs. Inzer's Assailant Tried and Quickly Convicted. SENTENCED TO HANG SEPTEMBER IST Prisoner Was Carried to Marietta From Atlanta Under Strong Military Guard, Thus Forestalling a Lynching. At Marietta, Ga., Friday Sam Robinson, alias Sam Bixby, was tried and convicted of assaulting Mrs. Inzer, and sentenced to be hanged September 1st. The town was perfectly quiet and orderly and no demonstrations were made. The trial was orderly and properly and well conducted in every way. With the amount of feeling that existed at first there would, in all probability, have been another lynching had it not been for the precautions taken. At 8:30 o'clock Friday morning the special train from Atlanta bearing Robinson, in charge of Sheriff Bishop and Constable Brewer and escorted by 150 soldiers of the Fifth Georgia regiment, in charge of Major Barker, arrived. The train was stopped at Powder Springs crossing, a quarter of a mile south of the depot, where the prisoner and escort got off. The prisoner and sheriffs were placed in the middle of a square formed by about 100 soldiers with advance and rear guards and in this position marched to the court house. The front doors of the courtroom had been locked all the morning and baliffs placed at the rear stairway, allowing only jurors, lawyers, newspaper men and parties to the trial to enter the courtroom, so there were but few present to hear it. The prisoner was brought in and guards stationed in front and down the hall of the courthouse and no one was allowed to come near. At 9 o'clock the attorneys for the state and defense began to panel a jury. The evidence was all in, at 10 o'clock and at five minutes after 10 o'clock the speeches of the two attorneys for the defendant and the solicitor general had all been made. The judge took five minutes in charging the jury, making his charge very full and covering all the points. The jury returned their verdict in seven minutes. It developed that Robinson had already made a full confession to his attorney in the Tower in Atlanta. He gave all the details of the crime, and reviewed the shocking tragedy with minute description. He was advised to plead guilty in court, but instead decided to make a fight for his life, evidently hoping to create doubt in the minds of the jurors. In this he failed miserably and would have convicted himself by his statement had there been nothing else to fasten the guilt beyond a doubt. Mrs. Inzer, her face and head shrouded in bandages, was present and was still suffering great pain, and was a nervous wreck. Her story, was told in a subdued voice. She told it as though she realized that in the telling a great crime to humanity was to be avenged. She gave all the horrible details, but not until she was told that it was absolutely necessary. Her identification of Robinson was complete and emphatic. She did not hesitate a moment when she saw him. "That is the man," she said positively. "I would know him anywhere I should see him." After Mrs. Inzor had told her story Robinson was carried into an ante room by his counsel and was asked if she had told the truth. He said that every word she had sworn was true, and that he was the guilty man as he confessed in Atlanta. His counsel then told him that it would do no good to tell the jury a lie. He was almost pleaded with to tell the truth, but he obstinately refused, and when he was put on the stand to make his statement, said: "Gentlemen of the jury, I am asking for mercy. Mercy is what I want." He then told a contradictory story, making so many misstatements as to cause a-general smile throughout the court room. In closing his statement he said: "I am guilty of this crime. It is the first, and I hope it will be the last." The trial was held before Judge Gober, of the Blue Ridge circuit, and when it was over the prisoner was brought from the court room and placed among the soldiers again. The crewd did not know whether he had been convicted or not, as no one was allowed to leave the courthouse until after the soldiers got under march. They reached the train through solid walls of surging, growling humanity. All finally got on board and the pickets were drawn in nearer the train, The pickets held the crowd back until after the train started and then swung upon the platform. The train left Marietta at 11 o'clock, reaching Atlanta at 11:45. The soldiers escorted the negro back to the Tower and their duty was done.

An Atlanta dispatch says: After a quietns of almost twelve months, the Atlanta depot problem has again been taken up. The special depot commission appointed by the legislature met Tuesday morning in the office of Governor Candler, with the official heads of the Central, the Georgia and the Atlanta and West Point, the three roads that by virtue of a contribution to the present station, made when the depot was erected in 1870, still claim an interest therein and continued exemption from rental. The part owners with the state agreed at once to the proposition that when the old structure is torn down to make place for a new one, their interest would cease to exist. The importance of this concession is that the state would never agree to build unless assured that its title in the structure was single and absolute. Thus the meeting brought the state and the city nearer by a long step to the solution of the problem. The proposition of the commission to the railroads made on November 10th, 1899, was revived as the best solution, in the opinion of the members, that could be arrived at. This proposition suggesting a surface depot with a viaduct at Pryor and a surface crossing at Loyd, was never answered by the railroads and the commission decided at the meeting to again forward it to President J. W. Thomas, of the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis, with the request that a plain answer, "Yes" or "No," be forthcoming by Monday, September 17th. This will give the roads thirty days, with a slight margin, in which to come to some agreement, either favorable or unfavorable, to the plan for a surface station extending from Loyd street, on one end, to Whitehall on the other. The officials of the Georgia, the Central and the Atlanta and West Point indicated that they would never consider the suggestion of paying back rent for the use of the depot extending over thirty years, nor would they agree to pay rent in future so long as the present structure stands. The plan for the state to say to the three lines: "Pay your rent for the use of this property or get off, right now," was discussed at length among the members of the commission. It was agreed without delay among the commissioners that whatever claim the roads formerly enjoyed in the union station, it had long ago been consumed as a result of the free usage permitted them. No further step along this line, however, was taken, although the immediate future may hold in store a suit looking either to ejectment or the payment of rent. MESSAGE KEPT SECRET State Department Receives Cipher Dispatch From Conger But Withholds Contents. At the close of official day at the state department Tuesday the following announcement was bulleted: "The department of state announces that a message from Minister Conger had been received, but of uncertain date, and not in reply to the telegram sent him on August 8th. It will not be made public." This came at the conclusion of a period of intense expectancy, and yet one devoid of any actual development save in the foregoing meager announcement. Minister Conger's message was received in Washington shortly before noon, coming first to the Chinese legation by the usual route through Chinese officials. It was in the American cipher, without date, and signed with the minister's name. It was at once transmitted to the state department and conferences began between Acting Secretary Adee and Secretary Root. Throughout the afternoon, however, the state department maintained an unaccountable reticence concerning the subject, declining to admit that the message was in hand. The suspense was cleared up at 4 o'clock by the above announcement. It was stated authoritatively that the whole message was of a confidential character, and for that reason could not and would not be given out. BRYAN USES PHONOGRAPH. Parts of His Speech of Acceptance Is Talked Into the Machine. At Chicago Monday Mr. Bryan closed himself with a phonograph and delivered over again parts of the speech of acceptance he made at Indianapolis. Those sections in which the candidate promised to call an extra session of congress to deal with the Philippine problem and the closing, peroration were the principal parts of the speech that went into the phonograph. It is expected that the Bryan speech, as ground out by the phonograph, will play an important part in the campaign.4 NO 45 RUSSIANS FIRE ON AMERICANS Mistaken For Chinese and Many Were Killed or Wounded. THE ERROR A DEPLORABLE ONE Sir Claude MacDonald Again Sets Forth Fearful Condition of Affairs in Pekin. A special cable dispatch to the New York Evening World of Monday, dated Che Foo, August 9th, via Shanghai, says: A terrible mistake occurred at the taking of Yang Tsun. Russian artillery opened fire on the American troops. Before the mistake was discovered many American soldiers had been killed or wounded by the Russian shells. The Fourteenth took part in the attack on the Chinese trenches. As the Chinese fled the regiment entered and occupied one of the Chinese positions. The Russian battery, it seems, did not notice the movement. It opened fire on the position and planted shells among the American troops. The Russians were quickly notified, and ceased their fire. Commenting upon this occurrence, The London Standard says: "It is melancholy to learn that the losses of the Americans, who seem to have borne themselves with conspicuous gallantry, were increased by a deplorable error, in consequence of, which one of their regiments was pounded by Russian and British cannon. The incident emphasizes the necessity of that close co-operation which is not easily obtainable without a single commander and a general staff." SITUATION OF FORGIRNS IN PENIN IS DESPERATE. The British consul at Canton, says The London Daily Telegraph's correspondent there, has received the following message, dated August 6th, from Sir Claude MacDonald, British minister in Pekin: "Our situation here is desperate. In ten days our food supply will be at au end. Unless we are relieved a general massacre is probable. "The Chinese offer to escort us to Tien Tsin, but remembering Cawnpore, we refused the offer. There are over 200 European women and children in this legation." The Shanghai correspondent of The Daily Express, wiring Monday, says. "The allies at noon Saturday ware within twenty miles of Pekin." As General Chaffee's report, which is the only authentic news received at Washington regarding the advance, located the international forces about forty miles from Pekin on Friday, it seems probable that the Shanghai report is optimistic. It is scarcely likely that the allies could advance twenty miles in as many hours. A Yang Tsun dispatch dated August 7th, giving details regarding the capture of that place, says: "The Russians and French held the left, the British the left. center, the Americans the right center and the Japanese the extreme right. The British and Americans advanced on the village at a rapid rate for 5,000 yards under a severe shell and rife fire. The Russians opened and the British-American advance became a race for positions, culminating in a brilliant charge. The heaviest loss of the day was sustained by the Americans, the Fourteenth infantry, having nine killed, sixty-two wounded and several missing. The Bengal Lancers unsuccessfully attempted to cut off the Chinese retreat." British Offer Money to China. The British government, according to the Shanghai correspondent of The London Times, has offered to lend £75,000 at 41 per cent-to the viceroy of Wu Chwang, province of Hu Pes, on the Yang Tse Kiang, for the payment of provincial troops. Faithful Messenger Was Found Dead. Beside His Wracked Safe. The Pennsylvania express leaving Cincinnati at 8 p.m., Friday, was robbed before the train reached Columbus, and Express Messenger Lane was found dead in his car when the train reached that city. This was the first intimation the train crew had of the robbery and they were unable to tell: at what point the tragedy occurred, Lane's revolver was found by his side with three chambers amptied and the safe was riffed of its contents and the door indicated that it had been bloomed open. PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY BY THE TRIBUNE PUBLISHING CO. REGISTERED AS NECOND-CLASS MATTER AT THE SAVANNAH POST OFFICE. SATURDAY, AUGUST 18, 1900. FOR PRESIDENT, WILLIAM McKINLEY, of Ohio. FOR VICF-PRESIDENT, THEODORE ROOSEVELT, of New York. The Negro is progressing on all moral lines despite the hinderances placed about him. It is real disgusting to hear some of our females, in a loud manner, speaking about their personal affairs in the streets. They ought to be muzzled. ONLY those who have the taint of barbarous blood would deign to break the law and have their hands become red with the blood of a lynched man. On the several nominees for the Presidency, Mr. Bryan is far the wealthiest, and he made all of his money during the prosperous times brought about by the McKinley administration. The disfrauchising of the colored voters will re-act against the white citizens of the State of North Carolina in such a manner that in years to come they will be as glad to repeal it as they were to enact it. It is remarkable how the leaders of the democratic party, while seated at home or in committee, can give advice as to the conduct of the war and criticise the work of those who go to the front and crerry the flag to victory. JERRY SIMPSON predicts that the nomination of Mr. Stevenson will give Kansas to the Republicans. It looks as if Adlai was nominated in order to have a good-natured person upon whom to blame the unpleasant happenings. The Democrats are counting on a large colored vote in the North, and at the same time are disfranchising the colored vote in the South. The managers ought, however, to give the colored voters credit for a few grains of political sense. Every five years a billion of dollars goes out of the United States to pay foreign ships for doing our foreign carrying. That may continue indefinitely if the Democrats succeed at the next election. It will be stopped immediately if the Republicans win. The New Orleans mob act was repeated in New York on a smaller scale Wednesday night. It is surprising to know of such an occurrence in the North, but when the foreign element that New York is infested with, is considered, nothing better can be expected. Why can't some of our young women get together and open up a millinery store? There are many among them that can trim hats as good as any in other races. There is money in this business and there is no reason why some of them do not take hold of it. The meeting of the business league inaugurated by Mr. Washington, convenes in Boston on the 28th. We hope that the results of the Conference will be of such a nature as to cause a great awakening in this city and spur our young men to go into some kind of business for themselves. The Democratic press is telling the people that the McKinley prosperity is only skin deep. Perhaps they are right, but there is no question about the Cleveland adversity having reached to the joints and marrow of the body politic. Skin deep Republican prosperity is a a thousand-fold better than bone deep Democratic hard times. THE TRIBUNE has nothing but commendation for those young men recently, and who will be married, for securing comfortable homes of their own. This shows advancement on a line that is in the right direction. The example of these young men could be profitably copied. In the future if the bulk of our young men would do likewise, the effect for good upon the people of the community would be great. THOSE Democratic papers that are trying to guy Teddy Roosevelt on his military record are painfully silent about the record of William J. Bryan. Both McKinley and Roosevelt have marched through the enemy's country; charged the enemy's lines and faced the enemy's bullets. Bryan resigned his commission, never having made a march or fired a shot, and his resignation was handed in just before his regiment was ordered to the front. The killing of the motorman Saturday night before last, from the statement of the accused, was not as brutal as that of the colored man Stewart, some time ago. From the statement of Hayes, who was captured last Saturday, he seemed to have had more provocation than the murderer of Stewart. The proper action of the conductor on the car on the night of the tragedy, would have prevented it. If he had immediately placed Hayes under arrest and not allowed the passengers to interfere, the murdered motorman would, no doubt, be at his post to-day. Men who are hot headed and without the least discretion cause unnecessary trouble and much conflict. It will be remembered that Senator Tillman, he of the pitchfork, helped to write the Kansas City platform which expresses such tender regard for the rights, liberties and independence of the Brown man. But on the floor of the Senate of the United States this same Senator, while speaking of the Black men, said with pride: "We stuffed ballot boxes, we shot them, we are not ashamed of it." The Senator must be an expert on the relation existing between shades of color and the degree of liberty that Democracy should portion out to each. A REVIEW of the past platforms of the Democratic party will reveal the fact that the party is short on promises fulfilled and long on false prophesies. It declared that the war was a failure; it wasn't. It declared that free trade would bring prosperity; it didn't. It said that the gold standard would cause a panic; it didn't. It promised to reduce taxation; in didn't. It promised to benefit the laboring man; it didn't. Having failed in all its promised, it now comes up with a new stock declared to be better than the old and asks for endorsement. The Republican party had demonstrated that self-government is not only possible, but honorable and full of glorp. The leaders of to day take council of the wisdom of the past. They are the distributors not the hoarders of liberty. They gave freedom to Cuba and Porto Rico and will give that freedom to the Philippines which will best protect individual rechts and guarantee the respect of other powers. This is the Imperialism os true freedom, th royalty of justice, and willsoon be recognized as the crowning glory of national achievement. WHAT Lincoln accomplished for the black man, McKinley is doing for the brown man, and as the African has erected monuments to the memory of their great emancipator, the Filipino when he realizes the work accomplished for him will build monuments to the memory of his liberator.

Smith, and Mr. Frank Payne of Thomasville; Prof. A. B. Johnson of Metcalf, Mrs. Florence McIntyre and Mr. A. Guy of Bainbridge. Mr. Sidney Woodward. On Monday night the entertainment under the auspices of Mr. Sidney Woodward, the famed tenor singer, took place at the theatre. He had a fair audience; but not near as large as one of Mr. Woodward's ability should have. He came up fully and beyond the expectation of all who heard him, and was heartily applauded. His assistants rendered excellent service and were commended by the vigorous applause received. The chorus, "When Thou Comest," was one of the features of the entertainment. This was rendered by home talent and by its rendition, the city's fame for excellent singing was in no way marred. Tuskegee Topics. A representative of the South Georgia College visited Tuskegee last week for the purpose of studying the industrial system of the school, with the view of introducing manual training into that institution. This is a just recognition of Tuskegee's worth as an example. Our canning factory, operated during vacation has already canned 40000 gallons of blackberries, 1,200 gallons of peaches, besides a number of cans of peaches, corn, grapes, tomatoes and okra. The division of Wheelwright last year constructed, twenty five wagons, ranging in price, from $45 to $50; two dump carts, five buggies ranging in price from $75 to $100 one trap, three hand carts, four wheelbarrows and did'a great deal of repair work.

Please allow sufficient space in your destinguished paper to give to the public a few words in regards to turner High School and the volunteering of Prof. R. G. McAden, former editor of Southern Gleaner, published first at Atlanta, then Madison, Ga. His visit to our school and perusing the work done by teachers and students; and seeing, as the writer, so many poor boys and girls out in the rural districts, not far from our school, who would make beacon lights, and we know, would go back into the community where they were reared and wield a powerful influence for God, home, state and country. Boys who by their every action would exhibit manliness and loyalty to every common cause could they but get a ray of light, a glimpse of knowledge. They are not able to attend any institutions. We find boys and girls standing on the precipice of the dark stream of ignorance, vice and superstition, begging some charitable christian menand women. Come and help ferry them over. Should they plunge farther into the stream it will only be worse for the community in which they live. Seeing the children at work, and noting the thoroughness of same; being desirious to help in the erection of a building to the honor of him, for whom the school is named; hes decided to lend a hand by giving his time, using his every effort and energy to forward the work. His services being accepted, I take great pleasure in saying to the public, and friends of our school that Prof. R. G. McAden is in the field as a volunteer for the Turner High AT THE SUGGESTION of a friend; about three months ago, I bought a bottle of Frank's Rheumatic Cure for $1.50, and after taking a quarter of the bottle I was entirely cured.

Last week was a hard one for the old men of the Klown, Comanche and Apache tribes of Indians, says the Wichita (Kan.) correspondent of the Chicago Record. They had to give up all of their wives but one. Some of the medicine chiefs had as many as ten women whom they called wives. All but the favorite one are now living away from the old buck's tepee. When the law was passed throwing open to settlement the Klowa, Comanche and Apache reservation, it was decided that these Indians should be more civilized. It was with this end in view that the Indian agent announced to all the men that they must give up their numerous wives, or they would receive no part of the land to be allotted, nor would they receive their share of the money shortly to be paid them. It was a hard blow to the tribes, as they have always practiced polygamy without any interference, In reply to a letter from Agent Mischare, the Indians gathered at Darlington on the first of the week. The old men had all of their wives with them. The agent made a speech to them in which he set forth the fact already stated. The medicine men made replies. Rolling Pony, who had ten beautiful young squaws and one old one, was the principal talker against the giving up of his wives. He said that they represented him as a wealthy man and if he had to give all of them up but one the Indians would think that he was a very poor man and he would lose his influence among his people. He said that for his wives he had paid nearly 1,000 ponies and had been twenty years in gathering them around his tepee. He made no mention of loving any of them, but said they were good workers and tended his crops in good shape. The agent asked him if he loved them and which one he liked best. He made no reply, saying he did not understand the question. Then the agent told him he must make his choice then and there. The squaws were all lined up before the old man and he looked at them long and earnestly. Finally he selected the oldest one, she being shown in the photograph with him. Rolling Pony has been an Indian police for the last ten years, but he told the agent he was going to quit now, as the government had not given him a fair deal. The discarded squaws will be taken charge of by the Indian agent and made to work for their living. Narjo, a Kiowa warrior, had five wives, but he gave up all but one. Gawkey, a Comanche policeman, had eight wives and he kept the oldest one. About sixty old men had to give up their many wives and they invariably took the one they had bought first, casting the youngest and prettiest aside. The squaws who were thus deserted did not seem to mind it, but were glad to be released from the hard work in their husband's harem. The old men were very much against giving up the many squaws, first because they represented many ponies and, second, they were a mark of influence in Indian society. The more squaws a medicine man possessed the more popular he was. It is among this class of people that the white people who want to take free homes in the new country to be given away soon will have to live. They are peaceable Indians now, but they cling to their old customs with a ceatillike tenacity. Happened In Chicago. "He was in the midst of his dinner when he was suddenly scized with lockjaw."

CONSUMPTION "La Creole Will Restore those Gray Hairs La Creole Hair Restorer is a Perfect Dressing and Restorer. Price $1.00 The Woll-Bog of the North. Reck, from head to shoulders, a mass of bristling hair, sharp-pointed ears, long-snouted, lips snarling; fangs dripping; yelping rather than barking; wolfish of aspect and not nice to look upon when in anger—this is the husky, or wolf-dog of the North. Much has been said of the Klondike, but these magnificent brutes, which in the beginning made that frigid El Dorado possible, have received little more than passing comment. Nor has this neglect been due to their being but the humble servants of the master, man. They are far from humble, as their wild ancestry attests. They may be beaten into submission, but that will not prevent them still snarling their hatred. They may be starved into apparent docilily and then die suddenly, with teeth fast locked in a brother's throat, torn to pieces by their comrades. Rather, has little attention been accorded them because the interest of man has gravitated inexorably toward the natural, mineral and social features of that far-northerly land. But the husky is far from uninteresting. As a type of endurance, no better evolved product of natural selection need be sought. If ever a species has been born and bred of hard times, it has. Only the fittest, in a hard struggle for existence extending through a thousand generations, have survived. And they are well nt. Domesticated by the savage autochthons of that forbidding region, they may not only account their remote ancestors as wild wolves, but often their immediate forebears.-Harper's Weekly.

The time is past when the feminine shopper "takes things as she finds them." She knows what she wants, and she persists until she gets it. All this was plainly shown by one of her who hunted for tucked taffeta. Unfortunately, she knew just the size of the tucks she wanted, as well as the distance they should be apart, to fit in with her ideas. Everybody agreed that what she wanted was not to be found, until she was quite desperate, and, at last, demanded of a firm if they did not get some of their tucking done in town. Such turned out to be the case, and presently she was favored with the address of this firm, and, contrary to her fears, found the establishment, where this tucking and shirring was done, to be within a stone's throw of this very store. Furthermore, they accommodated her by tucking a few yards exactly to her mind, and all for "a cent a tuck a yard." Of course, this price would not hold if fancy tucking was required on partly made garments, but for "straight ahead" work, in clusters, or equal distances, on uncut lengths, it does. Besides, one may select one's own taffeta, buying a warranted sort, which will probably be better than that to be had ready tucked. A big waist pattern may be done in all-over tucking for less than $2. This would come in convenient, too, if one could not find silk in the right shade.—Philadelphia Record.

Justly, it would seem, if there be truth in the report that two border outlaws chased a dozen members of the Diamond R. round-up outfit for twenty miles in terror-stricken search for refuge, to the town of Culbertson. Think of it! Twelve doughty knights of the plain, blue of lip and wild of eye, spurring their horses to incontinent flight over sagebrush and bunchgrass, and ever and anon turning their wan faces backward over shivering shoulders for a look at their relentless pursuers. Picture in your mind's eye the scudding of a dozen jack rabbits, close pressed by a pair of ravenous wolves! Oh, the horror of it! The report from Culbertson says that the cowboys were unarmed, excepting one or two guns in the whole outfit. It is a harsh allegation, and public judgment should be suspended pending the receipt of further particulars. If it be proved true—ah, well, we of Montana must blush for the shame of it! The traditions of the gun are dear to the Western heart. It has barked defiance to law and order, it has been the chief property of the cowboy, comedy of "shooting up the town" and it has furnished ragtime music for many a tenderfoot to dance by. Has the westward course of empire relegated the "shooting iron" to the scrap pile? Has it gone the way of the brown buffalo and the preserved Indian? Will it no longer dangle in menace from the belt of the bold vaquero? It would seem so, for the report has it that the Diamond R. outfit was unarmed. All the world will join in the northern Montana wall. The iconoclast, Time, has shattered the idol of the "wild and wooly west." The long locks of the cowboy have been shorn; his goatace is preserved only as a memory on the aging face of Buffalo Bill Cody; his buckskin habilliments have given way to overalls and jumpers and his bravery is bound between the yellow covers of a nickel novel. Twelve cowboys chased by two bandits! They will not believe it in the east, where the popular idea of the cowboy is still somewhat awesome and picturesque. Here in Montana, swallowing our pride, we will henceforth look upon him as a herder of cattle and brander, of calves—our calfboy.—Butte City (Mon.) Inter-Mountain.

One might conclude that this method would destroy all graceful lines, but when handled by an expert the result is to make the waist more slender and conceal noticeably prominent hips. Many new skirts fall apart at the centre front, where a contrasting breadth is placed beneath, frequently showing elaborate garnitures of cut out linen embroidery, which, by the way, is to be a feature among trimmings this season.
