Published by The TRIBUNE PUBLISHING COMPANY V XV Von Walders Is Prepared To Test Issue With China. WAR DECLARATION IMMINENT Policy Will Be to Demand Surrender of Leaders--Refusal Will Bring On the Clash. The news from China, according to a London special of Tuesday, indicates that events are rapidly drifting in the direction of war between China and Germany. "There is the best reason for believing," says the Shanghai correspondent of The London Morning Post, "that Count von Waldersae, on arriving at Taku, will present an ultimatum demanding the surrender of five leaders of the antiforeign uprising. "After a few hours' grace he will formally declare war; and, taking advantage of Germany's position as a belligerent, he will proceed to seize everything available with the German forces and fleet. "It is expected that Germany will take the Wu Sung forts and the Kian Gan arsenal, thus dominating Shanghai. It is also believed that she will attack fors on the Yang Tse from the land side, and endeavor to seize the Chinese fleet, including the valuable new cruisers. Failing this, she will at least occupy all the province of Kiang Su north of the Yang Tse Kiang. "The French will support Germany. This is not rumor, but reliable information and will probably be confirmed at the foreign office. Prompt action is necessary to prevent a coup which will constitute a serious menace to the British interests. "Bussia has handed over the Taku-Pekin railway to Germany." The Shanghai correspondent of The Standard, telegraphic Monday, says: The Shanghai correspondent of the Stlandard, telegraphing Monday, says: "Chinese officials report that Prince Tusan has issued a secret edict in the name of the empress dowager to the effect that the imperial court has decided to continue the war against the powers at whatever cost. The edict threatens that any official failing to support the Manchus will be beheaded as a traitor, his whole family executed and the tombs of his ancestors demolished. "Only through the Associated Press advices from New York, published in Tuesday morning's papers, does the British public learn that the United States and Great Britain are once again ranged together in opposition to the continental powers. As apparently such a grouping was entirely unexpected in both Berlin and London, and, until an official statement is made, comment will be withheld." MUST GO SLOW. PAYS LI. A copyright Associated Press dispatch from Tien Tsin, dated Sept 24, days: Li Hang Chang will proceed to Pekin in a few days. He remains under close Russian guard, and access to him is difficult. In the course of a conversation with a representative of the Associated Press, Earl Li said he did not believe that an early settlement of the difficulty was probable because of the number of nations to be treated with, and he did not think the attack upon the Pei Tang forts complicated the situation. TWO "PAVORABLE" ANSWERS. According to a dispatch received in London Tuesday from Berlin, the Russian and Japanese replies to Germany's proposal asserted that Russia "assents in principle." while Japan's answer is "emphatic approval." ENGLAND 18 WIII US. The British premier's decision to refuse to agree to the end of the terms of the German note was communicated verbally to the German ambassador at London, Count Von Hatefeldt-Wildenberg, during the course of a long interview Tuesday afternoon. Official circles were inclined to believe that his lordship would agree with Germany. But instead of doing so he used almost exactly the same terms in which the Washington refusal was couched. WAGE SCALE FINALLY SIGNED. Iron and Steel Workers Return to Labor After Three Months' Idleness. The conference committees of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers and of the manufacturers at 6:30 o'clock Sunday morning signed the wage scale that will be effective until July, 1901. Owing to the unusual fluctuations of the market, the new scale had not been signed when the mills shut down, June 80th, and the conditions have been unfavorable ever since June, so that the mills have been idle for almost three months. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 29; 1900 ARMY LEAVES CHINA General Chaffee Is Given Orders to Withdraw Forces. ONLY A LEGATION GUARD REMAINS. Tecops That Are Called Off, Together With Stores and and Material, Will Be Sent to Philippines. The following statement was posted at the war department Tuesday: "The instructions of the secretary of war were cabled to General Chaffee today that pending negotiations for settlement a legation of a regiment of infantry, four troops of cavalry and a light battery, under the command of General Chaffee, will remain in Pekin for the protection of minister and American interests and that the remainder of "General Chaffee's force, along with staff officers not required, stores and material, will be sent to General MacArthur at Manila." The text of the order is not made public for diplomatic reasons. It is observed that the force left under General Chaffee constitutes a legation guard and is maintained for the purpose of protecting American interests. This means that the United States forces will not in any sense be under the command of Count Von Waldersee, the German field marshal, as there is not a sufficient force left in Pekin for military operations. Under the order, General Chaffee will determine what troops now serving under him shall be sent to Manill. There are now in China the full Fifth infantry, eight companies of the Fourteenth infantry, battery F, of the Fifth artillery, four companies of the fifteenth infantry, eight troops of the Sixth cavalry and four batteries of the Third artillery. It is supposed that the legation guard would consist of the Ninir infantry, four troops of the Sixth cavalry, and battery E, of the Fifth artillery. There are about 4,700 troops in China. It is expected that 1,500 will remain. The marines, about 1,000 in number, also will be withdrawn and sent aboard the ships of the Asiatic station. GENERAL PALMER DEAD. In His Day He Was Army Officer, Governor, United States Senator and Presidential Candidate. General John M. Palmer, ex-senator from Illinois, died at his home in Springfield Tuesday morning. Heart failure was the direct cause of General Palmer's death. He had been in ill health for more than two years. Last Saturday he attended the funeral of General McClernand, acting as an honorary pallbearer. After reviewing a campaign parade Monday night the general retired apparently as well as usual. Early Tuesday morning he complained of pains in the chest, and expired about 8 o'clock. John M. Palmer was born in Kentucky September 13, 1817. He entered the civil war as colonel of the Illinois volunteers, was promoted to be major general of volunteers and led the Fourteenth army corps through the Atlanta campaign. From 1869 to 1873 he served as Republican governor of Illinois. Later he became a Democrat, and in 1891, was elected to the United States senate. In 1896 General Palmer was presidential candidate of the national (gold standard) Democratic party. ONLY CASH IS NEEDED. Galveston Now Hits Plenty of Food Supplies and Other Merchandise. Acting only from a sense of duty, and desiring simply to inform those who, in their kind generosity, desire to assist the unfortunate people of Texas, the Galveston News begs to advise all that there is no longer any necessity for shipping supplies of food, clothing and other merchandise. What is needed now above all things is money. Conservatively estimated, it will require $1,000,000 to pay the labor incident to removing the vast stretches of debris and disposing of decomposing matter of various kinds, so as to protect the health of the living. ELDERS ROUGHLY HANDLED. Floridians Whip Mormons and Escort Them Out of Their County. A dispatch from Marianna, Fla., says: Reports come from the western portion of this county that Mormon elders who have been at work all summer there have been run out of the county by angered men. Three families were packed up to go with them, consisting of eight women and girls and two men, when a mob of 50 men gathered, stripped and whipped the elders, and at the muzzle of shoguns expelled them across the county line, warning them that they would be killed if they returned. TROOPS AWE MINERS Presence of Military at Shenandoah Has a Quieting Effect. STRIKERS, HOWEYER,MUTTER THREATS After Services at the Various Churches On Sunday the Soldiers Parade Streets of the City. With the arrival of the military at Shenandoah, Pa., Saturday the borough assumed its normal condition and the anticipated resumption of violence on the part of the miners did not occur. It might have been the presence of the soldiers that restrained the turbulent element, but many of the residents believe the lack of riotous scenes was due to the fact that all the collieries were closed. Fearing that an attempt to work the mines during the day would result in possible bloodshed Sheriff Toole Friday night requested the mine owners to suspend operations until after the troops had arrived. The only colliery which attempted to work was the William Penn, operated by the Susquehanna Coal company. The employees were, however, intercepted on their way to the mine by strikers, who succeeded in persuading them to return to their homes. General Gobin established headquarters in the Hotel Ferguson until he could find a suitable place in the field. The arrival of the troops occasioned much excitement among the residents, and especially the strikers who throned the vicinity of the railroad station from early in the morning until late in the day. They were sullen and vented muttered threats, but made no attempt at violence. The United Mine Workers held meetings in various places Saturday evening and Sheriff Toole and his deputies were condemned for their shooting at Shenandoah. Leaders of the United Mine workers said Toole was too hasty in giving the order to fire and that he proved a poor general in directing his men. SUNDAY DEMONSTRATION. An air of expectancy was noticeable among the people of Shenandoah Sunday, and although it would be difficult to find a more peaceful community, the opinion was generally expressed that Monday morning would witness a renewal of the riotous scenes of Friday. The superintendents of all the mues in the vicinity of the city and Shamokin reiterated their intention of resuming operations Monday. In the morning the churches of all denominations were crowded and the sermons were invariably the subject of the mine troubles. During the afternoon demonstrations were made by the Governor's troop and the batteries, which were marched through the streets of the city and along the roads leading to the mines. Representatives of the seven collieries about the city visit d General Gobin in a body to arrange for the protection of their workmen on their way to the collieries. During the afternoon Captain Daniel Christian, of the coal and iron police, and W. H. Richards, superintendent of the Reading company's colleries at Mahanoy City, called on General Gobin and asked for troops. Captain Christian said the situation at Mahanoy City differed from that at Shenandoah, in that the foreigners were willing to return to work, but were intimidated by the dissatisfied English speaking employees. Eighty per cent of the foreigners, Superintendent Richards said, were in favor of remaining at work. General Gobin said he could not promise to locate troops at Mahanoy City, but would endeavor to have soldiers in that vicinity early Monday morning. QUIET SUNDAY AT HAZLETON. A special from Hazleton says: There was absolutely no change in the coal strike situation in the Lehigh region Sunday and the customary day's quiet prevailed. During normal times a colliery here and there works on Sunday, but Sunday not a pound of coal was mined in the Hazleton region. Every one of the twenty-five or more towns in the region was quiet. ENGLAND DEPRECATES ANSWERS. Says Action of United States Weakens Influence of Allies. The London morning papers are too fully occupied with the general election campaign to bestow much attention upon the Chinese problem. The Standard, which discusses editorially the replies of the United States, government, says: "The policy thus laid down implies the existence at Washington of a very exaggerated estimate of the good will of the Chinese rulers. It is to be feared that the action of the United States will tend to weaken the moral influence of the allies, and for this reason it is to be greatly regretted." DISAPPROVE DEMAND European Cabinets Anxious For Germany to Change Views. ALL ARE WORKING ON THE KAISER Replies of United States Cou-ces Dissatisfaction In England-Others to Be Heard From. According to a London dispatch, a semi-official announcement has been issued in St. Petersburg that the European cabinets are engaged in an endeavor to induce Germany to abandon her demand for the surrender of the instigators of the anti-foreign outrages as preliminary to peace negotiations. The Vienna correspondent of the London Daily Chronicle asserts that Russia's reply to the German note is very friendly, but that, although it appears to consent to Germany's proposal, it practically disapproves by asking whether it would not be best to open negotiations first and to make the punishment of the instigators of the outrages the first subject of discussion. According to the Berlin correspondent of The Daily Express, Germany will make a new proposal, namely, that the great powers form an international court to try the Chineses officials accused of complicity in the outrages. The British and continental press is still discussing America's reply, which is generally regarded as encouraging Li Hung Chang to delay the negotiations. The London afternoon newspapers which comment on the reply attribute it to "political exigencies." The Pall Mall Gazette says: "It is a shock to find this government at Washington saying the question of the punishment of the Chinese responsible for the outbreak, torture and murder of American citizens should be left to the initiative of the murderers themselves, for it is impossible to doubt that the responsible authors are the imperial authorities." The Globe says: "The refusal must have a mischievous effect at Pekin. Much, however, as President McKinley's attitude is to be deplored, it can have no effect on the British government which, of course, will continue to insist that the punishment of the proved murders shall be an indispensable condition precedent to the negotiations." A semi-official communication to The Cologne Gazette disavowing any desire on the part of Germany to execute the instigators of the outrage on the strength of the testimony of the foreign ministers says: "The international court of justice would decide upon the question of guilt, and would pronounce sentence. To look on complacently while a mockery of justice such as the United States demands was being enacted would mean a renewal of the massacres." Commenting upon the reproaches which The Cologne Gazette and other German papers have leveled against the United States, the Berlin correspondent of The Times says: "Whatever may be thought of the attitude of the United States, it hardly seems wise from a diplomatic point of view to hurl these taunts at a nation which, as experience has shown, is by no means in the habit of pocketing or forgetting such attentions." PRENCH REPLY EVASIVE. France's reply to Germany's note is not entirely an acceptance of the proposition. France argues that punishment is necessary, but would negotiate under certain conditions without first punishing the guilty officials. 18 THE TURNING POINT. The position of the United States in China, as made known in the notes just made public is receiving the earnest consideration of the other powers and their representatives in Washington. It is looked upon as a sort of turning point in the negotiations, on which the alignment of the several countries will be determined and their programmes framed. There has been no word, however, from any of the governments concerning their view of the American position and it is expected that some days will elapse before any new move is made. Investigation Is Postponed. The Franklin county, Ky., grand jury has reported that owing to difficulty in procuring attendance of witnesses from a distance, no further investigation could be made of the Goebel assassination, but recommended that certain persons be placed under bond to appear before the next grand jury. Five Negro Boys Killed. Five negro boys while stealing a ride on a freight train of the Florida, Central and Peninsular railroad Monday were thrown off by a sudden jolting of the train and ground to pieces under the cars, their bodies being terribly mangled.

THEIR RANKS CONTINUE TO SWELL Operators Claim That a Break Has Occurred, But Coal Diggers Deny the Assertion. A special from Hazleton, Pa., says: Contrary to the expectations of both operators and the striking coal miners, there were no developments in the situation in the Lehigh region Monday. It was thought in some quarters that owing to the presence of troops in the antbracite field a break would occur in the ranks of the strikers or that a large number of additional men would refrain from going to work. The operators as a rule predicted a break in the strikers' ranks and the labor leaders were equally sure they would tie the region tighter than ever. Monday night both sides claimed they had made good gains. It seems, however, from the most reliable reports, that the strikers made a net gain in point of numbers. The M. S. Kemmerer colliery at Sandy Run, on the north side, was tied up during the day. When Mr. Mitchell was asked if the striking miners had received any benefits from the United Mine Workers of America since the strike was inaugurated, he simply said, "No." Mr. Mitchell was a busy man at the United Mine Workers' headquarters Monday. He held numerous conferences with organizers and others in regard to carrying out of plans for continuing the fight against the operators. There is not the slightest change in the situation in regard to a settlement of the labor war. Neither side has approached the other and there is nothing in view which would indicate that anything will soon be done in that direction. The United Mine Workers are still deroting most of their attention to getting out the men, while the operators are doing the best they can with their crippled forces. The battalion of the Eighth regiment, which arrived at McAdoo, five miles from Hazleton, Monday, and which made a demonstration in that town and surrounding country, returned to Shenandoah at 4 o'clock p. m. There were many stories afloat in regard to the situation at the Lattimer mines. The strike leaders asserted that the colliery at that place was completely tied up. A representative of the Calvin Pardes company, which owns the mines, said the colliery was running as usual, and that only 50 out of 1,100 employees had failed to go into the slopes. The United Mine Workers have been working hard to get the Lattimer men to quit. The most of the other collieries in the Hazleton district which have not yet been shut down entirely, reported that their working forces had been more or less increased. This the labor people declare to be untrue. President Mitchell in discussing the situation in the entire strike region to date said. "Reports received by me today from the lower anthracite (Schuylkill) region indicate that at least 2,000 mine workers joined the strikers today. A large number of these came from the Reading company's mines. In the Lehigh region we made large gains. I have not received definite figures, but I should judge that the number of men heretofore working and who did not go into the mines in this district today numbered between 600 and 800. Meetings were held on Sunday by the United Mine Workers at which men who had not struck were strongly urged to help in the fight. As a whole I am more encouraged tonight than I have at any time since the strike begun and I am confident that within the next few days the entire anthracite coal field in Pennsylvania will be idle. At no place today did we lose a man." Iron Mountain Shops Burn. The Iron Mountain Railway shops at Baring Cross, Ark., were burned Monday night. Loss probably quarter of a million. DECLARED A FRAUD. Postoffice Department Sits Down On Dealers In Cotton Futures. The postoffice department has issued a fraud order against Arthur S. Foster and Arthur S. Foster & Co., of Philadelphia, dealers in cotton futures, who advertise to pay 60 cent per annum on all money deposited with them for investment. Our Postoffice at Tien Tsin. Information received at the postoffice department indicates that a United States postoffice has been opened at Tien Tsin, China, to facilitate the handling of mail matter for the troops in China. If you are a sufferer from Illumination. See Livingston's Ad. On Page 2. NO.51 Contents of Answers Given to Various Notes of Inquiry. MINISTER CONGER WILL ACT The Verbiage of the Replies Is of Such Conciliatory Nature as Preclude Giving Offense. The state department Saturday night made public the text of the notes addressed by it to the governments of Germany, Russia and China in answer to inquiries from them as to the attitude of the United States toward various phases of the Chinese problem. The forecasts of these notes made in the press appear to have been accurate, for although nowhere in the text is reference made to the withdrawal of the United States troops from China, the official statement used by the navy department in advance of the publication of the notes bears out the prediction that the government finally has decided upon such a material reduction of its military forces as will amount to a withdrawal of the army as an offensive instrument. The answer to the German note is carefully phrased, so as to soften the qualified refusal of the United States government to make the punishment of the Chinese ringleaders a condition precedent to negotiations. The answer to Germany in part, is as follows: The government of the United States has from the outset, proclaimed its purpose to hold to the uttermost accountability the responsible authors of any wrongs done in China to the citizens, as was stated in the government's circular communication to the powers of July 3d last. It is thought, however, that no punitive measures can be so effective by way of reparation for wrongs suffered and as deterrent examples for the future as the degradation and punishment of the responsible authors by the supreme imperial authority itself, and it seems only just to China that she should be afforded in the first place an opportunity to do this and thus rehabilitate herself before the world. Believing, and without abating in any wise its deliberate purpose to exact the fullest accountability from the responsible authors of the wrongs we have suffered in China, the United States is not disposed, as a preliminary condition to entering into diplomatic negotiations with the Chinese government, to join in a demand that said government surrender to the powers such persons as, according to the determination of the powers themselves, may be held to be the first and real perpetrators of these wrongs. It is the purpose of this government at the earliest practicable moment to name its plenipotentiaries for negotiating its a settlement with China, and in the meantime to authorize its minister in Pekin to enter forthwith into conference with the duly authorized representatives of the Chinese government whereby full exercise of the imperial power for the preservation of order and the protection of foreign life and property throughout China. In response to Mr. Wu's communication, September 17, 1900, of a cablegram from Prince Ching, the following answer is given: The government of the United States accepts the plenipotentiary authority of Earl Li Hung Chang and Prince Ching as prima facie sufficient for the preliminary negotiations looking toward the return of the imperial Chinese government, and to the resumption of its authority at Pekin and toward the negotiation of a complete settlement of the duly appointed plenipotentiaries of the powers, and of China. To these ends the United States minister in Pekin will be authorized to enter into relations with Earl Li and Prince Ching as the immediate representative of the Chinese emperor. In reply to the Russian charge's memorandum, the following was transmitted: 1. The government of the United States has not any present intention to withdraw its ligation from Pekin. 2. The government of the United States accepts the plenipotentiary authority of Earl Li Hung Chang and Prince Ching as prima facia sufficient for the preliminary negotiations looking toward the return of the imperial Chinese government, and to the resumption of its authority at Pekin, and toward the negotiation of a complete settlement by the appointed plenipotentiaries of the powers and of China. 3. To these ends, the United States minister in Pekin will be authorized to enter into relations with Earl Li and Prince Ching as the immediate representatives of the Chinese emperor.

FOR PRESIDENT, WILLIAM MCKINLEY, of Ohio. FOR VICE-PRESIDENT, THEODORE ROOSEVELT, or New York. FOR CONGRESS, WILLIAM R. LEAKEN, of Savannah, CHATHAM must give a big vote for McKinley and Roosevelt and Leaken. "The policy of free coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1 is a policy fraught with destruction to every home in the land."—Theodore Roosevelt in his letter of acceptance. THE MASONIC Grand Lodge will meet next week in Americus. The annual communication of this grand body draws easily the largest crowd of any other organization in the state. PRESIDENT McKINLEY goes before the people on his record. He is not infallible, but his record is so nearly perfect that he has no fear to go before the country on the results of his administration. THERE are more men employed now in the United States than ever before in its history. Just prior to McKinley's election in 1896 the soup houses were in full blast all over the country. Now they are closed. It was very discreet in Mr. Bryan not to attend the Grand Army reunion. The veterans of the slaveholder's rebellion fought to free a race from bondage. Bryan's party has taken away from the race its manhood rights, THE ministers of the city will resume their meetings on Monday next, after the summer recess. We hope that their deliberations will be continued on that broad basis that will make it a power for good among our people. A DINNER pail hangs in the window of the national Republican headquarters at Chicago. On it is written: "A full dinner-pail for four years more." That's what the laboring men want, and that's what they'll get if McKinley is re-elected. The Southern Christian Recorder, organ of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, of which Bishop Turner is the senior bishop, comes out flatfooted for McKinley. This is hard on the bishop, but it will do much to off set his defection to Bryan. AN inspiring scene will be witnessed next Monday, when the thousands of children will be seen wending their way to the various schools, yet this will be tinged with sadness when we know that there are thousands who will be unable to secure admission. DURING the Spanish-American war our people had 266 officers, average of salaries at $1,600, total $425,600; 14,784 privates at $208, total $3,075,472; 5,000 men employed as drivers, cooks, servants and laborers at $250. per year, total $1,250,000. Grand total, $4,751,072. No Republican of any standing has ever advocated any plan to deprive the Negro of his rights as a citizen. All such schemes have been brought forward by Democrats. This shows that the great heart of the Republican party is right on all questions involving the rights of the Negro. "Mr. LINCOLN was right when speaking of the black man; he said that the time would come when they would help to preserve and extend freedom. And in a third of a century you have been among those who have extended liberty in Cuba to an oppressed people."—President William McKinley. No other class of people is affected as much by the street loan system of this city as our people. In this direction much damage is done to them by the usurious advantage taken. Nothing should be done to foster this system and everything done to blot it from our city. No one connected with these loans should in any manner be put forward by the voters, in fact no loyal Negro voter should be guilty of such an act. DEAR EDITOR: Having spoken succinctly and yet lucidly enough of persons, places and things, as seen by a Southern Tourist, while in Brooklyn, Greater New York, and Hoboken and Orange, New Jersey, I have felt that the panorama of my brief stay in this intellectually rejuvenating Northern clime would not be complete, if I failed to mentioned educated, refine, cultured and historic Boston, Mass., a city set, as it were, upon a hill, a beacon light of knowledge, and a veritable insignia of patriotism unsullied, and bravery undaunted. Aug. 25th found me standing amidst anxious throngs of tourists, in the Grand Central Depot, N.Y., the largest and finest passenger station in America; but in a moment more before I could fully comprehend the magnitude and convenience of this structure I was summoned to enter a magnificent parlor car, and then to be transported through a most picturesque country to Boston. 6, p. m. of Aug. 25 found me making my exit from the Union Depot or Terminal R. R. of Boston. This depot in its immensity covers 13 acres of ground in sheds and offices. Now, having extricated myself from the anxious multitude of cabs, carriages, hansoons and automobiles a 5 cents Columbus trolley car quickly conveys me to my 5-story brick edifice, where after feasting upon a De Soto dinner I was domiciled in a palatial room of comfort. My strolls for sight-seeing began at once in the genial company of Drs. J. J. France of Portsmouth, Va., and our own S. Palmer Lloyd, who were taking summer courses in medicine at Harvard University, and Prof. W. W. Cooke, formerly of the Georgia State Industrial College, who was, also, taking a summer course in architectural drawing, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology made us a big Southern Four. "Come, 'Mack,' says Dr. Lloyd, let us as the ancient Epicureans, settle our viands before retiring," and away to the celebrated and historic Boston Common, Public Garden and Common Wealth Ave., we strolled, meandering our steps amid brilliant electric lights, until we became weary of the entrancing twilight stroll around velveted lawns of verdure and sweet flowers, and upon summer lakelets of pleasure; while we viewed with inexpressible delight the gold-giled dome of the New Capitol Building of Mass. Now after returning home, and laying down to sweet dreams and refreshing slumber, a beautiful Sabbath dawns and at the toll of the sacred invitation, we soon found our company seated in the superb "New Old South Church" and after drinking deeply of the fountain of love we went to Franklin park to escape the very oppressive heat. Aug. 27th found me unattended by the happy and congenial trio, in the midst of many others visiting the Public Library of Boston, and this superscription upon this handsome building made a most lasting impression upon me: "The Commonwealth Requires The Education Of The People As The Safeguard Of Order And Liberty." And I know you will pardon me for giving just one more inscription; viz, "Built by the people and dedicated to the advancement of learning." The number of volumes in the Library must be somewhere about one hundred thousand, and added to this great number of volumes are many special collections and one description of the contents of the Library says that these add greatly to the reputation of the Library and at once make it a Mecca for scholars throughout the world. But my dear reader, while I know you could enjoy an intelligent description or delineation of the architectural beauty of this building on the inside or of its fine sculpture and paintings, I must simply say that only a Puvis de Chavannes could give such a description adequate justice. He attempted a summary description when saying in these words: "The Muses of Inspiration Hail The Spirit, The Harbinger of Light." This Institution, dear reader, is a most potent, silent educator of the masses, who hunger and thirst for knowledge; for here the great expressions of the human mind are to be found: Poetrv, Philosophy, History and Science are to be found as portrayed by Virgil, Aeschylus, or crowned by the Illiad and Odyssey; and one soon concludes with Plato that "Man is a plant of heavenly not earthly growth."

State Republicans Active. The Republican Campaign Committee of Georgia, met at Macon, Ga. on Tuesday and organized by the election of Col. R. D. Locke, as chairman, and Mr. E. F. Blodgett as sec'y. The committee is composed of one Republican from each district and plans for bringing out a large vote was discussed and the chairman was authorized to appoint a committee to issue an address to the Republicans and people of Georgia, urging an earnest effort to bring about the election of McKinley and Roosevelt. The committee was earnest and the reports from the different districts show that there is a general desire for the re-election of McKinley, whose administration has brought about general prosperity to the country. The Republican electors met in Atlanta Thursday and matters relating to the campaign were arranged and agreed upon, and many able speakers will address the people of Georgia on the issues of the questions of the day. The following is the address of the campaign committee. Headquarters Republican Campaign Committee of Georgia. Macon, Ga., Sept. 25, 1900. To the Republicans and Voters of Georgia who desire the election of McKinley and Roosevelt: We take this method of urging upon you the importance of registering at once, if you have not done so already this year, that you may be able to vote in November 6, 1900; for McKinley and Roosevelt, our national candidate for the presidency and the vice presidency of the United States. The tax collector's offices in each county of the state are now open for the registration of voters, and will close October 16, 1900. Pay your taxes at once, and when you do so register. If you have already paid your taxes and did not register, go and register now. It costs you nothing to register. Taxes for 1900 are not required of you, but you must register this year or you cannot vote. Having registered, your duty is yet not fully done; the crowning set of patriotism is only complete when you have voted on election day. Under McKinley's administration the promises of the Republican party in 1896 have been kept, a sound currency has been maintained; an opportunity given to willing labor to work at remunerative wages; the commerce of the nation extended to new fields, resulting in such an opening for our growing industries as to cause the South's great staple product—cotton—to 10 cents per pound. Notwithstanding the good record of our Republican administration, we find the government of the people, for the people, by the people, again confronted by Bryanism, which is organize repudiation, communism and enthroned anarchy. To the end that good government may not perish from the face of the earth, we earnestly urge all Republicans, and cordially invite all other patriotic citizens to co-operate with us in giving the electoral vote of Georgia to McKinley and Roosevelt. Respectfully, R. D. Locke, Chairman. E. F. Blodgett, Secretary. AMUSEMENT COLUMN. Coming Events In the Social World.

A Recherche Entertainment Bright electric lights, streams of music and beautiful costumes of light texture of varigated colors presented an inspiring and most brilliant scene at Morse's hall last Thursday night. The occasion being a reception tendered Miss Lucile Battiste formerly of Boston, but now one of the accomplished and popular teachers of Beaufort, S. C., by the prince of good tellows, Messrs John Habersham, Robert Hernandez, and J. Clayton Williams. Indeed it was a social event and marks the opening of a series of similar pleasantries for the winter. With strains of popular airs the attendants were given an opportunity of dancing during the evening, which from the appearance of the number of couples participating, it was unanimous in accepting such a privilege. Refreshments were served during the evening, which by no means lost its prestige because of other qualities enjoyed. It was quite an early morn when the guests retired to their homes with pleasant rememberances of the gentlemen who very considerately tendered the entertainment. The following were present, Mr. and Mrs. Mack Branham, Mr. and Mrs. Merrick Miller, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Jones, Mr and Mrs. William Jones, Mr. and Mrs. H. M.

Seeking Higher Education. Besides those already gone, there will be a large number of our students who will leave for various colleges in this state and also for a few in the surrounding states. The greater portion of this delegation will leave the beginning of next week for Atlanta University. This University, which is the best in the state and, excepting Fisk University, in the South, has always been well patronized by Savannahians, and this year will be no exception. Others will leave for Spellman Seminary, Atlanta; Talledega College, Ala., and Central College. Penn. Those leaving for Atlanta University are: Misses Clinton Clark, Mattie Victory, Jessie Webster, Ellen Maynor, Florence Banks, M.

Grant, Arthur D. Butler. Misses Janie Houston and Mary E Major will go to Spellman Seminary; Miss Emily Smith to Talledega College, and Miss Janie Ford to Central College, Tenn. Public Schools Re-opening. The public schools of the city will be reopened on Monday. In this city there are only two buildings for our children, one other building rented also two rooms that accommodate about one hundred and fifty children. These latter rooms were secured after hard and heroic work by a committee of colored citizens after convincing the Board of Education of its necessity and the large number of children without school facilities. As it is, these places are not sufficient to accommodate the thousands, according to the school census, that are not able to gain admission and was attested by the large number that were unable to secure Cards of admission during the week. While the colored citizens fully appreciate what the Board has done by the addition of the two rooms, yet we hope that in the very near future it will adopt plans to erect modern buildings in the southeastern and southwestern part of the city. The building in the latter section is more needed. Officers Installed. The Ladies Olive Leaf Club celebrated its anniversary on Wednesday night last by the installation of its officers and a pleasant evening social. It was held at the cozy home of the secretary, Mrs. L. Williams, and it was an affair not soon to be forgotten. The ladies know fully how to entertain their guests and they did so in an approved way on this occasion. The following officers were installed by THE TRIBUNE man: Mrs. J. A. Richards, president; Mrs. C. A. Gordon, vicepresident; Mrs. L. Williams, secretary; Miss L. Lockhart, assistantsecretary; Mrs. J. A. Priley, treasurer; Mrs. R. Parker, clerk of order; Mrs. Georgia Drayton, chairlady of sick; Mrs. A. Jones, chairlady of finance. Rivival at Asbury Church. Rev. John Crolley is conducting a great revival at Asbury M. E. Church. He is greatly interested in this kind of work and is at his best when he is conducting one. To-morrow night he will preach a special sermon to women. The services commence at 8 o'clock and the text will be from Mark 16:3. "And they said among themselves," subject: "An angel informed the woman." Every body is invited. Seats free. This excellent institution, under the supervision of the Rev. Richard Bright, who is a bly assisted by two teachers will begin its eighth term on Monday, Oct. 1st. In the Kindergarten Department children are received between the ages of four and six. The uninitiated and inexperienced regard this best of educational institutions as "a waste of time" or "child's play." To a certain extent the Kindergarten is "play," but that kind of "play" which lays a thorough foundation in the mind of the child and makes him, in reality, "a bright boy". Some of us take umbrage when others say that they are "superior" to us; surely that man who has exceptional opportunities for self-culture, and is wise enough to take advantage of them must be "superior" to him who does not. St. Stephen's Kindergarten is really one of the very few in the entire South for Colored children. The citizens of Savannah ought to be proud of the unusual privileges afforded them for giving their children the proper start in their education, and show their appreciation by sending them to it. The tuition is cheap enough, either 10 cents a week or 50 cents a month; both in advance. The well regulated kindergartens for white children charge from five dollars a month up. St. Stephen's rates are low because our people for the most part receive low wages. Four of the first white kindergarten teachers of the city visited it last term, and expressed themselves as highly pleased. The proprietors of factories in a New York town, declare that after 1915, they will employ nobody who has not had the benefit of a kindergarten training Read what the recent Hampton Conference and Prof. Butler of Columbia University, one of the leading lights of the National Teachers' Association say of the Kindergarten. The former says: "We regard the establishment of a kindergarten as the necessary part of our American Public School System. It is the logical basis of all true education and especially meets our greatest educational need at present. We endorse every effort to bring about this result and most heartily recommend that such kindergartens be established by churches and by private benevolence for the benefit of the humbler class of the people." The latter: "The kindergarten in the hands of those who have mastered its spirit and its purpose is the most powerful single educational agency yet devised. In America where the kindergarten is most thoroughly studied and most wisely conducted, it has brought life and light to tens of thousands of children, who, without it, would have grown through their tenderest years in neglect, or would have been turned over, helpless and appalled to the old fashioned formalism of the elementary school."—Butler. In the Primary Department pupils are required to the "Kindergarten." The school rooms are well ventilated, well heated, and are bright and cheery; everything is at hand to make the pupils comfortable and happy. Once a week—after school hours—the girls are taught sewing, (without extra charge) and other useful accomplishments which all girls ought to know. Our aim is thoroughness, mental, physical, and moral, consequently our pupils lead wherever they go. All applicants must, in conformity with the State law, give satisfactory evidence of successful vaccination; it is a safeguard for the children and their parents. Parents who are really in earnest about the education of their children—not those who shift them from school to school, for "A rolling stone gathers no moss"—ought to apply at once to the REV.

The woman to whom this rare endowment has brought the accompanying gift of a fine, close-grained skin and a clear complexion, with glorious brown eyes, need ask no odds of any one. She belongs in the line with the historic beauties of the centuries. Red hair and blue eyes are a charming combination, but red hair and brown eyes are beyond all things fascinating. The girl with red hair should avoid lavenders, purples, yellow-greens and indeterminate browns and grays. She may not wear pink in any of its shades but deep ruby red and any of the wine tints which omit purple are very becoming to her. Black suits her, if it be opaque, and so do dark shades of green, while white is her especial choice and sets off wonderfully her radiant style and glowing beauty.

CONSUMPTION If attached with pore eyes, use Thompson's Eye Water How to Produce a Profitable Crop of Wheat. The Charlotte Oil & Fertilizer Company and the President of the Company, Mr. Fred Oliver, of Charlotte, N. O., have again demonstrated on their farms what can be done towards profitable wheat raising. The 250 acres which they had in wheat this year gave an average yield of 80 bushels, per acre; one field of 80 acres gave an average yield of 24 bushels, another field of 90 acres gave an average yield of 33 bushels per acre. A field of 60 acres that was in wheat a year ago, sown by the former owner of the land, and which last year yielded only eight bushels per acre, this year gave an average yield of 24 bushels to the acre. With such an illustration of what can be done by progressive farming, why will the majority of farmers continue to be satisfied, or, if not satisfied, continue to curse their luck when their crop of wheat turns out only five to ten bushels per acre? There is no reason, and in fact, it is a crime for any farmer to throw away his time and land by growing such a poor crop, as the most of them now raise when they could treble and quadruple the yield by intelligent and progressive farming. They must use better mules and ploughs to prepare the soil, using the best disc grain drills, having fertilizer distributors attached to the plant and fertilize the wheat, using the best seed wheat even if it does cost a few cents per bushel more money, using not less than 400 lbs. high grade complete fertilizer per acre instead of 100 lbs. of low grade acid and acid potash seeds. Seed wheat that is free from broken and defective wheat, and above all almost absolutely free from cockle seed is worth twice as much for seeding as the seed wheat usually used. Still more important is the fact that seed wheat from a crop that gave a yield of 80 to 85 bushels per acre is superior to seed wheat from a crop that gave only five to ten bushels per acre. No farmer will attempt to raise mules and horses to weigh 1,400 to 1,600 lbs. each and expect to succeed if he uses for breeding, stock that weighs from 500 to 800 lbs.; no breeder of high grade milch cows will expect to succeed except by using high grade stock. Last, but not least, they must use high grade fertilizer if the farmers expect to receive proper returns from land and labor. Why be satisfied by using 100 lbs. per acre of cheap, low grade fertilizer when 400 lbs. of high grade fertilizer will give an increase of 15 to 25 bushels per acre? It costs no more or very little to prepare the land for a good crop than for a poor one; it costs no more to drill in good seed wheat, and 400 lbs. of high grade fertilizer, per acre, than to drill in poor seed wheat and 100 lbs. of cheap fertilizer per acre; it costs no more to cut an acre of good wheat with a reaping machine than it does to run the machine over an acre of poor wheat, and the reaping machine leaves less wheat in the field ungathered if the crop is a good one than it does if the crop is a poor one. - The farmers of the south have the best market for their wheat, corn and hay of any section in the United States, as they can obtain the same prices as the western farmer plus the freight that is charged from the west to the south. Why not then farm on a profitable plan and not an unprofitable one? Use good stock and tools, good seed and fertilizer, good judgment and skill in handling labor and machinery, and above all work yourself as an example to your hired help, and you will find farming profitable Getting Jurors in St. Louis. It was not an easy thing for a man drawn on a jury to escape serving when he had to deal with Judge Lindley of St. Louis. The story runs that a raw German was summoned for jury duty, and wished to get off. "Schudge," he said plaintively, "I can nicht goot English understand." "Oh, you can serve," said Judge Lindley, cheerfully. "You won't have to understand good English: you won't hear any such in this court."

How Mothers may Help their Daughters into Womanhood Every mother possesses information of vital value to her young daughter. That daughter is a precious legacy, and the responsibility for her future is largely in the hands of the mother. The mysterious change that develops the thoughtless girl into the thoughtful woman should find the mother on the watch day and night. As she cares for the physical well-being of her daughter, so will the woman be, and her children also. When the young girl's thoughts become sluggish, when she experiences headaches, dizziness, faintness, and exhibits an abnormal disposition to sleep, pains in the back and lower limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude, and a dislike for the society of other girls, when she is a mystery to herself and friends, then the mother should go to her aid promptly. At such a time the greatest aid to nature is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It prepares the young system for the coming change, and is the surest reliance in this hour of trial. The following letters from Miss Good are practical proof of Mrs. Pinkham's efficient advice to young women. Miss Good asks Mrs. Pinkham for Help. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM: I have time with my monthly periods being it, and put myself in your care, for month menstruation would become for six months, and now it has stop yous and of a very bad color. I am "DEAR MIS. PINKHAM:—I have been very much bothered for some time with my monthly periods being irregular. I will tell you all about it, and put myself in your care, for I have heard so much of you. Each month menstruation would become less and less, until it entirely stopped for six months, and now it has stopped again. I have become very nervous and of a very bad color. I am a young girl and have always had to work very hard. I would be very much pleased if you would tell me what to do."—Miss Pearl Good, Cor. 20th Avenue and Ycslar Way, Seattle, Wash. February 10th, 1800. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM: I cannot praise Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound enough. It is just simply wonderful the change your medicine has made in me. I feel like another person. My work is now a pleasure to me, while before using your medicine, it was a burden. To-day I am a healthy and happy girl. I think if more women would use your Vegetable Compound there would be less suffering in the world. I cannot express the relief I have experienced by using Lydia E.

The ordinary files are troublesome enough to the dairyman, causing the calves-to lose flesh and the cows to shrink in their milk, and the ox or gadfly is worse, but when it comes to what are called the horse fly, we suppose them to be a worse pest than all the others, states the American Cultivator. We here republish the formula given by the Kansas Experiment Station, which they say keeps off all files at a cost of one-fourth to one-half cent a day for each animal. It is as follows: Pulverized resin, two parts, by measure; soap shavings, one part; water, one-half part; fish-oil, one part; water, three parts. Place the resin, soap shavings, one-half part of water and fish-oil together in a receptable and boll till the resin is dissolved; then add the three parts of water, following with the oil of tar mixed with the kerosene. Stir the mixture well and allow it to boll for fifteen minutes. When cool, the mixture is ready for use, and should be stirred frequently while being applied. From one-eighth to one-half pint is sufficient for one application. To apply the mixture, a brush is used. We find nothing more satisfactory than a large painter's brush. At first it is well to make an application for two or three days in succession. Afterwards an application every other day will suffice. It is often more economical not to attempt to protect the entire animal, but only those parts not reached by the head or tail. It is perfectly safe, and in no case has it appeared detrimental to the health of the calf. Thirty minutes is all the time required to dye with PUTNAM FADKLESS DYES. Sold by all druggists.

Select a new one of the same breed each year, but not a near relative. Such a course will give a herd all the characteristics of that breed in a few years. But if each year a new breed is selected, the attempted improvement will provo a failure. In-and-in breeding is another and fatal error in perpetuating our best breeds and families, as no animal shows deterioration from that cause as soon as the hog.
