Published by The TRIBUNE PUBLISHING COMPANY XV1 XV1 YOUTSEY TRIAL SENSATIONAL Defendant, In Vehement Manner, Declares His Innocence. ACTED LIKE AN INSANE MAN Excitement Prevailed to Such an Extent That Court Was Adjourned For the Day. One of the mostremarkable scenes ever enacted in a Kentucky court occurred at Georgetown Tuesday night in the Youtsey trial, the defendant himself being the chief participant. The courtroom was crowded at the time and the excitement was intense. Dee Armstrong, the Louisville detective, had just told of his talks with Youtsey before his arrest. Then Arthur Goebel was put on the stand and Judge Ben William, who for the first time appeared for the prosecution, did the questioning. Arthur Goebel said: "I talked with Youtsey the day he was arrested, late in the afternoon, in the jail in Frankfort in reference to the murder of my brother." Just at this point Youtsey arose behind his attorneys and in a loud voice said: "It is not true—it is a lie—I never spoke a word to that man in my life, nor he to me." Colonel. Crawford told him to be quiet and sit down, and others took hold of him. "I will not sit down. I never said a word to that man—it is untrue." He was shouting by this time and everyone was on tiptoes of excitement. Youtsey's wife sprang to his side and, while endeavoring to make him sit down, could be heard saying: "Now you have killed my husband, suppose you are satisfied." Then Youtsey hysterically shouted again: "I am innocent—there is no blood on my hands—these men are swearing my life away." Two or three deputy sheriffs went over and grabbed him. He struggled wildly and said: "Let me alone—I will not sit down." Arthur Goebel meauwhile sat sphinx-like in the witness chair and never turned his head. Finally after Yontsey was forced into a seat he shouted again: "Goebel is not dead—all the demons in hell could not kill him." "Mr. Sheriff, if the defendant does not behave himself, put handcuffs on him," said Judge Cantrill. Meanwhile the audience could not be forced to keep their seats until the judge threatened to fine those who stood up. Yontsay settled back in his chair, closed his eyes and seemed in a state of collapse. He waved his handkerchief above his head in an aimless sort of way and groaned and cried hysterically. Finally quiet was restored and Judge Williams asked Arthur Goebel another question, when Colonel Crawford asked a postponement of the trial till Wednesday on account of the defendant's condition. Judge Cantrill said he could see no cause or reason for the defendant's outbreak, but in justice to his attorneys he would postpone the case as requested. Mr. Franklin said the commonwealth had not the slightest objection to adjourning till Wednesday, and so court adjourned. Yontsey still occupied his chair, with eyes closed, apparently in a half falting condition. After the crowd passed out Jailer Reed and deputies carried Yontsey to the jail, as he was unable to walk. Various reasons are assigned for his unseemly outbreak, the first being that his confinement and strain of the trial caused him to become hysterical and lose control of himself. Another is that he is really demented, as shown by his remark that Goobel was not dead. He is being attended by physicians and relatives at the jail and his condition is deemed critical. CHINESE CHECK GERMANS. Li Hung Chang's Veterans Come In Collision With Kaiser's Troops. The London Standard has the following from Tien Tsin, dated Friday, October 5th: "A German force came into collision with eight thousand Chinese, described as boxers, a few miles south of Tien Tsin this morning. The Germans were checked and compelled to retire from Tien Tsin." There is reason to believe that the chinese in this case were not boxers, but were Li Hung hang's veterans, who had been ordered to wait near here in view of the possibility that the foreigners would bar his progress to the capital." BRITONS FOLLOW US McDonald Gets Instructions Similar to Those Given Conger. WILL NEGOTIATE WITH THE CHINESE Discretionary Powers Given to Pass Upon Credentials and Efficiency of Oriental Peace Envoys. A Washington special says: The British government has followed in the wake of the United States' steps in the Chinese agreement. Sir Claude MacDonald, the British Minister at Pekin, has been instructed to enter into relations with the Chinese officers just as our government did in the case of Minister Conger. It has given its ministers discretionary powers to pass on the sufficiency of the credentials of Li Hung Chang, Prince Ching and the other Chinese envoys. Although the formal response to the latest German proposition has been retired by Lord Salisbury, the United States government has been informed that, though such an answer may not be made at all, being unnecessary in the light of recent developments, yet Sir Claude MacDonald will be instructed to make the same inquiry relative to the punishment of the Chinese ringleaders that have been committed to Mr. Conger. The first practical outcome of Special Commissioner Rockbill's investigation has been an instruction to him by the state department to co-operate with Mr. Conger in the inquiries with which that official is now charged, relative to the character of the Chinese envoys and punishments. The next step to the final settlement of the Chinese troubles must come from Mr. Conger and his brother ministers at Pekin. They are charged now with inquiries into the matter of punishments, which certainly will occupy some time, and it is not expected that much headway will be made in any direction until this phase of the case has been passed. The latest French note is a distinct movement toward the initiation of negotiations for a settlement while this question of punishments is still pending. It is now probable that exchanges will take place with the French note as the basis which the ministers at Pekin are at work under their instructions upon the subject of punishments, but even though some advance is made with the French note, it is not likely in the judgment of officials here that all of the complex questions involved therein can be agreed upon by the powers before Mr. Conger and the other ministers are ready to report upon their branch of the case. Touching the French proposals the officials at Washington have already received intimations that the Chinese government is preparing to offer strenuous objection to some of them, notably to the propositions looking to the razing of the Taku forts and interdiction of the importation of fire arms. It is believed here, however, that the imperial government will be in earnest to meet the demand of the powers respecting the punishments. The news that Yung Lu is not to be forced upon the Chinese peace commission it is well known here as indicating the readiness of the Chinese government to heed any reasonable remonstrance from the powers. QUARANTINE IS PUT ON. Suspects From Mexico Are Being Detained on the Texas Border. The state and United States quarantine officials at El Paso, Texas, are enforcing a strict double quarantine against the yellow fever infected ports of southern Mexico and have orders to allow no one to enter the state who has been in the infested district until the time limit has passed. After Members of Akron Mob. The special grand jury at Akron, O., investigating the riot of August 22d, reported Friday afternoon, returning sixty-one true bills and indicting forty-five men and boys. One of these, Councilman George Brodt, and another, A. A. Halter, are prominent politicians. SWIFT JUSTICE METED OUT. Will Branch, Colored, Sentenced to Hang For the Murder of George Bell.

OCTOBER 13 1:00 GENERAL KELL DEAD Was One of the Last Survivors of Confederate Naval Heroes. BODY BURIED IN GRIFIN GEMETERY Funeral Services Were Elaborate and Imposing—A Brief Sketch of His Eventful Life. General J. MoIntosh Keil, adjutant general of the state of Georgia and among the last survivors of the confederate privateer "290" or Alabama, which did the merchant marine of the United States' great damage during the civil war, died at his home in Sunny side, Ga., at 6:30 o'clock Friday afternoon. General Kell had been in declining health for a long time. At the time of his death his family was gathered around his bedside and with great sorrow witnessed the death of the hero. BURIED AT GRIFFIN. The body of General Kell was buried at Griffin, Ga., Sunday, with elaborate and imposing ceremonies. The funeral services were conducted from the Episcopal church by Bishop C. K. Nelson, of Georgia, who impressively performed the Episcopal rites of burial. The funeral was largely attended by prominent persons from all parts of the state. Governor Candler was present, with many members of his staff and other officers of the Georgia state troops, of which General Kell during his lifetime was the head. Two companies of state troops from Macon, one from Barnesville and one from Griffin acted as the special military escort. A long line of distinguished Georgians, as honorary escort, followed the body to the cemetery, where the final ceremonies were performed and the casket lowered into the grave. A salute was fired over the grave by a squad of soldiers, which was in keeping with the martial life of the distinguished hero. The floral tributes were many and very beautiful. SKETCH OF HIS LIFE. General John McIntosh Kell was born in McIntosh county, Georgia, January 26, 1823, and was, therefore, 77 years of age. His great grandfather, John Mohr McIntosh, a Scottish chief, came over to this country in 1735 to join General Oglethorpe, and settled in that part of the coast which commemorates his name. The father of General Kell was a distinguished lawyer of his day, and the junior partner of General Anthony Wayne. He died when 40 years of age, leaving a widow and five young children. At the age of 16 John McIntosh Kell, through influential friends, was appointed a midshipman in the navy. He served with distinction in the Mexican war, and was present at Monterey, Cal., when the United States flag was hoisted over that territory. He was later an officer in Commodore Perry's famous expedition to Japan, which opened up that country to modern civilization. In October, 1856, he married Miss Julia Blanche Monroe, of Macon, Ga. A brief service at Norfolk and eighteen months at Pensacola constituted his only duties on shore while a member of the United States navy. But it was as an officer in the Confederate navy that General Kell won imperishable fame. Upon the secession of Georgia he tendered his services to his native state, and in May, 1861, reported for duty to Captain Raphael Semmes at New Orleans, where he served on the Sumter, a converted passenger steamer, then engaged in blockade running, and which captured seventeen ships during a service of six months. Later he was with Captain Semmes as executive officer of the Alabama, the famous Confederate battlefield that made such a marvelous record during the time she was afloat, capturing sixty vessels, and being herself sunk by the Kearsage off the coast of France, at which time thirty of her men were drowned. General Kell's daring career as the executive officer of the Alabama is recorded in the history of his country, and for his gallant conduct in the fight with the Kearsage he was made a captain. After the loss of the Alabama he returned to the Confederacy and was given command of the ironclad Richmond. At the close of war, worn with service and saddened by defeat, he returned to his native state, residing at Sunnside. It was during the first administration of General Gordon in 1886 that General Kell was appointed to the office of adjutant general of Georgia. He discharged the duties of this office personally and in a thorough manner until his health became too feeble for the task. In December, 1897, the legislature passed an act increasing the rank of adjutant general from colonel to brigadier general in honor of General Kell. COAL PITS TIED UP Strikers Have a Mammoth Parade And Demionstration at Lattimer MANY WOMEN AND GIRLS TAKE PART Workers Are Overawed By the Hosts and Failed to Show Up When Colliery Whistles Blew. A special from Hazleton, Pq., says: Nearly 2,000 strikers, with fifty women and girls, marched into Lattimer early Saturday morning and completely tied up the two collieries of Calvin Pardes & Co., Jocated at that place. It was the greatest march that has taken place during the present strike. The crowd was made up of strikers from McAdoo, Audenrion, Jeanesville and Hazleton on the south side and from Harwood, Ebbvale, Free Land and Upper Lehigh on the north side. The women and girls came from the now famous borough of McAdoo. Sheriff Harvey and a handful of deputies were at Lattimer when the strikers arrived, and they and the marchers were instantly on the move. There was no disturbance at any time. Tha men and the women were well behaved. It was the most exciting day Lattimer has had since the tragedy three years ago. The strikers from the south side concentrated on the back road to the place. They had left their home at midnight. The women, including "Mother Jones," were conveyed in wagons, while the men walked. It was a little before 6 o'clock when the 1,000 south side men entered Lattimer, headed by a fife and drum corps, and the women. The leader of the females, who was a pretty Polish girl, carried a large American flag. They marched and counter marched on the Lattimer public road until 7 o'clock, when the whistle blew for the starting of work at the collieries. A great shout went up from the crowd as it saw that no one responded to the call. Shortly after this a faint cheer was heard in the distance, and suddenly a crowd which proved to be the north side marchers, who had gathered on the oppose side of the town, burst through a gate on the further end of the company's property, about half a mile away. They came streaming in by the hundreds and rushed down the company's property, then across the strippings and joined the south side force on the public road on the very spot where the twenty-two marchers were shot by the deputies in 1897. The combined forces, after a short rest, formed two by two and with the women and girls in the lead, started on another parade through the town. The women marchers called the Lattimer men black-legs and other hard names, whole those thus assailed remained mute for fear of being attacked. This was kept up until 8 o'clock, when the marchers began to leave for their various home towns. Shenandoah also witnessed the biggest demonstration et a held within its limits on Saturday. Over 5,000 striking idle mine workers marched through the streets and up to soldiers' monument park, Locust mountain, where they held a mass meeting and listened to words of encouragement from President John Mitchell, of the United Mine workers of America. The strikers came from all sections of the anthracite coal regions, those from nearby points marching in a body headed by bands, while those from remote points went in trolley cars. President Mitchell spoke briefly and was frequently interrupted by cheers. His most important statement was one informing the strikers that they would soon meet in convention. He said: "I wish to announce today for the first time that in a few days a convention will be called. Every mine will be requested to send delegates. If you believe a net advance of 10 per cent in your wages is enough, then your votes will decide the question. If you prefer that the strike shall go on, Mitchell wilt be with you. In this strike we must all win together or go down together." Mr. Mitchell again took occasion to deny the charges that the strike was brought on for political reasons, and that the bituminous coal operators were connected with it. QUAT SPRINGS A SURPRISE. Tella His Audience that He Will Be Their Next United States Senator. M. S. Quay addressed a large meeting at Meadville, Pa., Saturday night; Quay's speech opened with the words: "You see before you the next Unit- "You see before you the next United States senator from Pennsylvania." After a gasp of surprise at the assurance of this utterance, a burst of applause was given. Actor Curtis a Bankrupt. M. B. Curtis, "Samuel of Posen," the actor, filed a petition in bankruptcy at St. Paul, Minn., Sa'urday, confessing liability of $117,000, arrests 925. Subscription: $1.25 Per Annum; 750 for Six Months 500 for Three Months; Single Copies 50. In Advance. CONVENTION CALLED Representatives of Striking Miners to Meet in Soranton. WILL DISCUSS OFFER OF OPERATORS Their Deliberations Are Expected to Result In Amicable Settlement of the Trouble In the Coal Region. President Mitchell has issued a call for a convention of mine workers of three districts comprising the anthracite field to meet in Scranton, Pa., October 12th. The text of the convention call is as follows: "To all Miners and Mine Employes of the Anthracite Coal Region: "Brothers—In view of the fact that the mine operators have posted notices offering an advance in wages formerly paid and believing it to be our plain duty to consult your wishes as to our future action we deem it advisable to ask you to select delegates to represent you in convention. "You are therefore notified that a convention will be held at Scranton, Pa., beginning Friday, October 12 at 10 a. m. "The basis of representation will be one vote for each 100 persons on strike or if desired one delegate may represent as many as 500 mine workers; but no delegate will be allowed to cast more than five votes. "Each delegate should have credentials signed by the chairman and secretary of the meeting at which he is located; and whenever possible credentials should bear the seal of the local union." President Mitchell refused to say anything as to what the convention would probably decide to do in the matter of 10 per cent. Now that the convention is a certainty there is a feeling of relief in the entire region and it is confidently expected that the trouble will be quickly settled. GROWTH OF THE SOUTH.

Mrs. Stonewall Jackson, who has been in a Virginia sanatorium for some time, has gone to Baltimore to secure the treatment of a specialist. While Mrs. Jackson's general health is better than it has been for some time, she is now suffering severely from neuralgia, and it is thought the Baltimore specialist may decide to remove one of the optic nerves, and considerable apprehension regarding her condition is manifested among relatives and friends. YOUTSEY'S CASE CALLED. Is Charged With Being a Principal In the Shooting of Goebel. Henry Youtsey, a stenographer in the office of Governor Taylor during the latter's incumbency, was called for trial at Frankfort Tuesday in Judge Cantrill's court on the charge of being a principal in the shooting of Governor Goebel. The defense called fifty-two witnesses, only nine of whom answered. A number will be ready, however, when wanted. The defense asked and was granted until Wednesday morning to answer whether ready for trial or not. Court then adjourned. A Washington special says: Minister Wu has advised Secretary Hay of the receipt of a dispatch from the southern viceroy stating that the imperial court is en route from Tai Tuen to Singan, where the imperial establishment will be set up. The minister is also officially vised that Viceroy Pu, of the prefecture, just vacated by the court, has been impached by the anti-foreign element. The effort to induce the Chinese imperial court to return to Pekin has failed after a week's paristent effort on the part of the powers. News to that effect was brought to the state department by the Chinese minister, who received it via St. Petersburg from Viceroys Liu Kun Yih and Chao Chih Tung, under date of October 4: Mr. Wu received the message Sunday night. It was as follows: "The departure of their imperial majesties for Shen Si (province) was due to distressing conditions at Tai Yuen Fu. There is a scarcity of food supplies in the province of Shen Si on account of long-continued drought, and the provisional capital (Tai Yuen) is almost deserted, the trades people having left on account of the disturbances caused and continued for months by the boxers who had invaded Tai province. Their majesties, they were obliged to proceed to Shen where telegraphic communication with Pekin and other points of the empire is open and rapid communication with their majesties may therefore be carried on. Thus court and official business may be transacted more expeditiously by their presence in Shen Si rather than in Shan Si. "The reasons for the temporary postponement of their majesty's return to Pekin are the presence of the allied forces there, on account of which solicitous fear is doubtless entertained, besides a dread of the outbreak of epidemic diseases which usually follow after great disturbances, destruction of property and military operations. It is hoped that the powers will be deliberate in their judgment in the matter." The important feature of the concession is that the court is restrained by fear of the allied forces returning to Pekin. The movement takes the emperor and empress dowager about 300 miles further away from Pekin, though, according to the statements contained in the message, by reason of direct telegraphic communication with Shanghai, the court will be near for purposes of negotiation with the outside work. It is said that there are no Boxers in the newly chosen territory. As the dispatch was dated four days ago, it is taken that the trip of the imperial party began prior to that time. It will be slow and tedious, overland most of the way, with a short stretch of river navigation. Singan was formerly the place of imperial residence, and the ancient palaces are still there. The only disquieting feature of the move comes by Spanish advises that the new point of location is strongly fortified, which is some indication that the imperial family is still in flight, and is seeking a stronger defense; but the friendly viceroys and Minister Wu do not share in this view. The minister considers the question of punishments practically disposed of by edict of the emperor and the German and American notes exchanged last week. The only difficulty he aprehends is in case the foreign ministers seek to designate persons who shall be punished in addition to those which the government itself marks for punishment. Such a course by the ministers, he says, would be hard to comply with. ROUSS WITHDRAWS OFFER. Satisfied That He Will Remain Blind the Balance of His Days. Charles Broadway Rouss has withdrawn his offer of $1,000,000 for the restoration of his eyesight. "No further tests shall be made," declared Mr. Rouss. "I withdraw my offer of $1,000,000 for a cure. I shall dispense with the services of my substitute. It is decreed I shall remain forever blind. All tests have proved futile and not one has given me the slightest relief. The experiments on the eyes of my substitute James J. Martin have proven accurate useless. I will pass the remainder of my days in patience." he Savannah Tribune SYSTEMED AB RECOND-GLASS MATTER THE SAVANAR POST OPPIE.

We endeavor always to be regular and reliable, with a principle that is undaunted and a purpose to do that which will benefit the masses. Our great aim has been and is to create a sentiment that will cause more unity among our people, to have them foster more business enterprises, to educate their children, to secure homes and beautify them, insure their lives for the benefit of love ones, to foster only a pure ministry, to secure business openings for our boys and girls, to have a more friendly feeling toward our white neighbors, and in fact to do everything that would benefit our race and upbuild our community. We have friends who have ever been loyal to us, and who have manifested their loyalty in many ways and to them we take this method also of returning sincere thanks. During the coming year we expect to make great improvement and will continue to battle on the lines enumerated above and others too as they present themselves. You have only a few more days to register for the national election. We do not expect to carry Chatham county, but we do hope to give the national ticket the largest vote that it ever received. Will you not help increase it? We are living in a democratic community and naturally democratic sentiment prevails, but do not allow it to cause you to waver, for McKinley and Roosevelt will sweep the country next month. At the recent Republican District Convention, Hon. W. R. Leaken was nominated as the Republican candidate for Congress. He has accepted the nomination, with a fair prospect of being elected if intimidation and the democratic yard stick are not used. Mr. Leaken is one of the foremost members of the Savannah bar, a gentleman of irreproachable character an ardent republican and a true friend of our people. He deserves and should receive every Republican vote in this district. It is assured that 'he will receive the votes of many democrats. The state election took place last week. Liberty and McIntosh counties redeemed themselves by electing republicans as members of the legislature. The republicans of Liberty elected Hon. H. F McCoy, who is principal of the Liberty City high school. Mr. McCoy is an old resident of Liberty, and well thought of. He received a flattering majority over his democratic opponent. The republican candidate for coroner, Mr. W. B. Bailey, was also elected. In McIntosh county, we predicted a republican victory. The party was thoroughly organized under the leadership of Hon. S. A. McIver and his able assistants. Hon. Lectured Crawford was their candidate and he received a handsome majority over the democratic candidate. The republicans all over the state extend congratulation to the leaders in Liberty and McIntosh, with the admonition to increase the majority for the national ticket on the 6th of November. Meals For Colored Exhibits Among the exhibit during the recent Carnival at Macon were those of two of its colored citizens, Mr. John M. Brown and Mrs. Acy Thompson Miller. Mr. Brown conducts a grocery store on Cotton Avenue and also has a broom factory. He made an exhibit of his brooms. There are several other broom factories in Macon conducted by those of the opposite race and they had exhibits also, but Mr. Brown's was the best in every respect and for that reason the management of the fair awarded him a gold medal, with the court of arms of Georgia on one side and "Street and Agricultural Fair Macon, Ga" inscribed on it, and the other side: "Awarded to Brown Broom Factory for "Meritorious display, first fair, Sept. 24—29, 1900." This speaks well for Mr. Brown, especially when it is considered who his competitors were. The other exhibit was a quilt containing the map of the United States. The quilt is made of silk and the states are named and divided off in colors similar to regular maps. The rivers, lakes, oceans, mountains, etc., are also noted in respective colors. All of this was done with silk thread and with the hand. The map is two feet square and shows up more natural and to better advantage than the average maps. Mrs. Miller was engaged four months in this work and in it she surely displayed excellent skill, much patience and perseverance. This map was not a competitive exhibit, but the managers of the carnival found it to be such an excellent piece of work that they deemed it advisable to award her a silver medal, with the court of arms of the state on one side and "Meritorious Display" on the other. Mrs. Miller is the daughter of Mr. C. H. Thompson, the proprietor of the Thompson house, and her friends there tendered her much congratulations on the skill she displayed on this excellent piece of fancy work. College Lists. The State College opened the 3rd inst. with largest number of pupils in its history. The boarding department was full to overflowing the first day, and still they come. Among the number are several of non-resident girls applied, but could not be admitted for lack of room. The new building under the super vision of Mr. L. B. Thompson moves on rapidly. It is hoped to have it finished on or before our next commencement. All of the Instructors are at their post, looking none the worse for work. The President and the Vice President spent much of their vacation in and about Chicago in the interest of the College. The other instructors spent their vacation here and there on pleasure, rest and knowledge bent. DR. Molden, President of Clark University visited the college and addressed the students. Commissioner Glenn spoke to them on Wednesday on the occasion of raising a flag presented by the Ladies of the G. A. R. Post of Savannah. The first Sunday evening services were given up to speeches on the history of the College. Rev. Thomas and Vice President Suggs; and Instructor Thompson and Mr. Howard spoke in a reminiscent strain. Proper Training of Children The following paper was read before the meeting of the Mothers of the twentieth century on the 27th of August, ult., by Mrs. Rosa E. Williams, and is published by request. From infancy the mother should study to promote the child's mental growth. The mother most learn that thought and feeling as well as nerve and muscle, have their pulsation, their periods of greater or less activity. From the time of the earliest establishment of the home the care and training of the children committed to it has been one of the most imperative and holy of all its duties. In ancient days children were the "Gift of God", and it was the duty of the father to train them up in the admonition of the Lord. But we find that there are so many children of to-day trained up to be gifts of the barrooms, gambling houses and dancing rooms. They are trained also to the admonition of the various places, such as the Lincoln Park and Thunderbolt, and from these places to the chaingang. Parents are never absolved from responsibility towards their children from birth to man or womanhood. They are its duty to keep watch over the intellectual, moral and physical growth of the child to see whether bad habits are being formed, to note the character of the lessons assigned, and to see that the home work is well done. The true home must always be the most important factor in giving the proper training to your children. First see that your children attend the Sabbath-school and church; keep them off the streets; find something at home, for them to do. Read the bible to them or have them read to you. Teach them to be good Christians and God will be pleased with you, because children are charges given to the parents by God. Their interest in their own offspring must always transcend that of others, because such a large proportion of the child-life is under their direct care. Mothers I remember that Solomon says: train np- a child in the way he should, and when he is old he will not depart from it. This is not hard to do if you will look at life from a child's standpoint, giving your own loving sympathy, let your light shine before so that they may be constrained to follow. Fathers and mothers, live true, Christian lives, and your sons and daughters will not make you ashamed. The anniversary celebration of Mt. Tabor Baptist church, Rev. N. H. Whitmite; pastor; will conclude with special services to morrow. MASONIC COLUMN. As announced in our issue of last week, the Masonic Grand Lodge convened in Americus, in its 30th annual communication, and it was the best ever held. All of its deliberations were harmonious, and the collections showed that the subordinate lodges have grown in interest as well as in numbers. Many resolutions were adopted for the good of the order. The resolution passed at the last communication assessing each member of subordinate lodges one dollar, which was made in two payments, was re-introduced and adopted. The first payment will be due in December. The lodges are to go to work immediately to collect the same from its members and in event that it is not collected at the required time it is to be taken from the lodges' treasury and forwarded to the secretary of the building committee. This collection, if made in time will be sufficient to finish the work on the building. The session was a veritable love feast. This was demonstrated on Wednesday night, when in a short time over a hundred dollars in cash were raised for the Widows and Orphans home, separate from the regular dues. Grand Master Terry has worked faithfully and energetically for the success of the order, and so well he has wrought, that the brethren showed their appreciation by reelecting him unanimously. The following are the elected and appointed officers and members of the various committees: M. W., W. E. Terry, Grand Master, Columbus R. W., Floyd Snelson, Grand Junior Warden, Waycross. R.

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 yer not fully done; the crowning act of patriotism is only complete when you have voted on election day. Under McKinley's administration the promises of the Republican party of 1898 have 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 command 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 organized repudiation, deliberate confiscation, chartered 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.

The Savannah Tribune. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1900. THE TRIBUNE is celebrating its 16th anniversary to-day. Mr. Jos. W. Williams is again at home after spending the summer at Asbury Park, N. J. We are sorry to note the illness of Miss Jennie G. Lloyd, and hope her an early recovery. Mrs. L. E. Williams left last week to spend a while with relatives and friends in Americas. Miss Minne Crump and Mrs. T. L. Mells were among the welcome callers at our sanctum. Mrs. Mary Williams, of Americus, mother of Mr. L. E. Wiliams, is in the city to spend a while. After a severe fight with fever, Mr F. P. Edwards of the carrier's force is again able to be out and will soon resume his duties. The many friends of Mr. Edward F. Carter are sorry to hear of his continued illness at his home on West Broad and Huntingdon streets. Miss Ida Morant, after spending the summer in Burkeb county teaching, returned home on Monday to resume her studies at the State College. Miss Sarah A. Sheftal after spending a part of the summer at Macon, is again at home. She is teaching in place of Miss Jennie Lloyd who is sick. Mrs. D. Edwards, Grand Worthy Matron of the O. E. S., made a trip to Darien in the interest of the order. She reports her mission to be successful. Mrs. Willie Browne has returned from Thomasville where she has spent a while with friends, bringing with her little Willie who spent the summer there. Miss Alice Jones, one of the popular young ladies of Columbus, arrived in the city on Wednesday and is stopping with her sister, Mrs Ida Hopkins, on Charles street. Rev. C. C. Cargile will address the Y. M. C. A. on Sunday afternoon at 5:30 o'clock at St. Augustine Mission hall. All members and friends are requested to be present. Mrs. Pheobe L. Jones, formerly of this city, but now of Jacksonville, has been visiting friends here and at other points. She leaves for home on Monday after having had a real pleasant stay. Mrs. J. V. Sherman gave us a pleasant call on Monday. She is working energetically for the Mothers of the 20th Century, and reports its interest daily increasing and much good is being accomplished. Rev. Geo. H. Wilson, of New Jersey, was here on Tuesday. Rev. Wilson has been appointed to take charge of the A. M. A. work at Wadley and its vicinity. While here he was the guest of Rev. Jno. W. Whittaker. Parties Having real estate to sell should see us. Those wishing to buy a home we can accommodate. We also loan money on improved real estate at a reasonable rate of interest. J. E.

A special coach was given and also the city ticket agent accompanied them as far as Jesup to insure their safety etc. Those who are interested feel very grateful to the officials of this road for their courtesies. Lt. and Mrs. T. Z. Tolbert and their little daughter of Augusta, spent the week in our city, the guests of Capt. and Mrs. L. A.Washington. They were also accompanied by their son, Bettis, who entered the Georgian State College. While here Lt. and Mrs. Tolbert were entertained by Major and Mrs. W.H. Royall, and Lt. and Mrs. Quarterman. Mr. Tolbert is one of the oldest letter carriers of Augusta. The boys were glad to see him. St. Stephen Kindergarten and primary school opened last week with a good attendance. It is useless to try to explain the many benefits that our people are deriving from this substantial school, and this year promises even better things. Rev. Richard Bright with his efficient corps of teachers have entered heartily into the work and will leave no stone unturned to better the school in every way. We highly commend this school to our patrons. Ministers Met. The Evangelical Ministers Union met on Monday morning last week. It was called to order by Rev. Jno. Crollly, president. After devotional services and reading the last minutes, the brethren listened to able addresses by Mr. C.D Kline and Dr S.P. Tucker, and Rev. Holmes of Florida, favoring the establishing of a public library in Savannah for the colored race. The following officers were elected: Rev. J. J. Durham, D. D., Pres, Rev. John Crollly, Vice-pres, Rev. Jno. W. Whittaker, Secy, Rev. C. C. Cargile, D. D. Treas, Revs. J. W. Roberts C. L. Bonner and J. S. Wiggins, Advisory Board. Revs. Roberts, Whittaker and N. H. Whitmire were appointed to investigate into the matter concerning the Orphanage and Old Folks Home. The ministers met at the usual hour on last Monday. Dr. Durham was inaugurated into office as president of the union by making some very timely remarks. Rev. Crollly also addressed the meeting on taking his seat as vice-president. Rev. A. K. Woods of Summerville, Ga., was a welcomed visitor of the meeting, and he delivered an e-ouquet address The committee appointed last meeting to investigate the orphanage home of A J. Cooper, corner-7th and Reynolds streets, made a verbal report through Rev. Roberts, the chairman, which was received. The said A. J. Cooper being present the union proceeded to question him as to the solidity of his orphanage and the moral and religious status of his own character, all of which were found very dubious, but a vote was finally taken "to throw no obstacle in the way of Cooper and his orphanage home" Rev. Roberta submitted a paper containing some very pertinent resolutions concerning the establishing of a public library in Savannah for the colored people. It was laid on the table to be taken up as the first order of business next Monday. The meeting adjourned by the pronouncing of the benediction by the Rev. Alexander Harris. Another Industry. As no doubt the readers of THE TRIBUNE have seen that a petition for incorporation of the Wage Earners Loan and Investment Company has been inserted for the past few weeks. Among the petitioners are some of our leading business and professional men. This in itself speaks volumes for the success of the institution. It is one that is badly needed in our midst and with the management that those in charge are capable of giving, it will be a glowing success. The price for the shares is very reasonable and the monthly payments are even more so. It is the intention of the members to secure a very large number of stockholders and to have at least one thousand dollars paid in before any business is done. Mr. Albert Jackson, who is our oldest and one of our most capable business men, is the president, and Mr. A. L. Tucker, our able attorney, is secretary and treasurer. All payments are to be made to him, and all persons desiring to take out shares should see him. We heartily commend this institution to our people. A Flattering Opening. All the grades at the Beach Institute are full except the sixth and seventh. The normal class is unusually large, and has in it many young people of ability and promise. The principal is very favorably impressed with this department. Although the number entering last week was large, yet room will be made for all who come. Tuition in the lower grades is fifty cents a month; in the higher classes one dollar. Instruction will be given in instrumental and vocal music. One lesson a week on piano or organ one dollar per month; two lessons per week two dollars. Miss B, S. Reik, the principal, is a cordial warm hearted woman. She longs to have the parents take an active interest in the work. Missionary Tea. A missionary tea will be given in the annex of the First Congregational church on Monday evening next. There will be no charge for admission. Last year the Missionary society under whose auspices this tea is given, paid the tuition of one of the students of the A.U., besides contributing for other purposes of a missionary character. The members of the society should be encouraged by a large attendance at the tea on Monday night. Peasant Bazaar. The ten nights Peasant Bazaar which will be opened Monday night at Odd Fellows Hall, Harris St. under auspices of Ezra Presbyterian church and Jones Club No. 5 promises to be one of the most enjoyable entertainments of the season. There will be a fan drill and 16 girls dressed in veritable peasant costume who will act as hostess during the Bazaar. Tickets single 10 cents season 35 cents Mr. A. B. Hawkins, of Claxton, passed through the city Tuesday on his way home from Washington, D. O., where he attended the masonic conclave, and reports having had a grand time. 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 a 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 kindergarten 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 humber 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 received to the Third Grade inclusive. 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. RICHARD BRIGHT; 313 East Harris Street. - Adv. Locals. Mr. Geo. S. Johnson left on Thursday day for New York. The 14th anniversary of the G. E. Club will be celebrated at the Duffy street hall on Nov. 29th. Following are donations to McKane Hospital: St. Phillips A. M. F. Church $2.00 1st A. B. Church $1.20 St. James A. M. E.

Johnson which was thanked by the Trustees by a rising vote of thanks. The trustees are very grateful for the above donations and trust in the future to a liberal continuation of these gifts. AMEMORIAM. In Loving Remembrance of Our Beloved Mother Miss George Lucas, Who died Oct. 15, 1899. One year ago this very day, Our darling mother died, An angel came and took her soul, Up to the vaulted skies. We will always miss you mother, More and more each day we live, But we trust the One has taken, Who alone a solace gives. You have been a darling mother, Always loving kind and true, May the very angels bless you, For we feel it is their one. Many more have lost a darling, From their home and fireside, And I know I have their sympathy, In the loss of our Pride. If we journey through the future, And our lives seem clear and bright, We can feel your spirit around us, As a hidden shining light. Her loving daughter.
