CAUSED BY DRUG STORE FIRE Exploding Chemicals Wreck Buildings and Many Victims Are Buried Under Burning Debris. A New York special says: The long list of fire horrors that have occurred in and around the city of New York, a list that includes the Royal hotel fire, the Park Place disaster and the Windsor and Hoboken fires, was added to Monday by a fire and explosion that shook the lower end of Manhattan like an earthquake, hurled a seven-story building into the air and set fire to two blocks of buildings, with a loss of life that only the efforts of hundreds of men who were rushed to the work of digging away the ruins as soon as the fire was extinguished will reveal. The big building of Tarrant & Co., makers of medicinal specialties, standing at the northwest corner of Greenwich and Warren streets, and filled with chemicals, took fire in some way that may never be known, at about a quarter after 12 o'clock Monday afternoon. It was sixteen minutes after noon that a citizen rushed into the house of fire engine 29, on Chambers street, near Greenwich, and shouted that Tarrant's drug house was on fire. He had seen a volume of black smoke coming from the third story window. An alarm was turned in. Soon afterwards second and third alarms were turned in. One fire company had just arrived when a terrific explosion occurred and threw the entire engine's crew down the stairway. The firemen, realizing the danger of their position, rushed out of the building to the street. The explosion had filled the street in front with a shower of falling glass and small debris, which sent the crowd, which had already gathered on the opposite sidewalks, fleeing for safety. Captain Devanney, of the company, ordered his crew back into the building again. The were dragging the line to the doorway a second time when another explosion, more terrific than the first came, and the whole crew was hurled across Greenwich street. In the meantime the other engines that had responded to the alarm had collected, and the firemen were rescuing people from surrounding buildings. Firemen had already taken many girls down the only fire escape upon the building, and more persons had been carried down the escapes of the Home Made restaurant, next door, and the buildings adjoining upon Warren street. The second explosion occurred about five minutes after the first. From the accounts of witnesses, the building seemed to leap into the air, and in a moment masses of brick wall, timbers and stone were falling into the streets. The force of the explosion tore away the walls of the big commission store house fronting on Washington street, and caused them to collapse. Across Warren street to the opposite buildings the flames leaped, setting them all afire at once, the force of the explosion demolishing windows and all wooden structures about the houses. In a moment Warren street was shook up with a mass of debris and the whole place was aflame. The great explosion was followed by half a dozen more scarcely less intense, and by a countless number of smaller ones. By this time the fire apparatus was arriving from every direction, and a fifth alarm sent out, followed by a general call for ambulances. The explosion and fire together had now assumed the proportions of a great catastrophe, and it was at first thought that hundreds of lives had been lost. Throngs of people were rushing: about the nearby streets, many of them panic-stricken, fleeing from the fire. WAS A FABRICATION. Repert of Lynching of Two Negroes In Fike County, Georgia, a Fake. Report comes from Milner, Ga., that some one has evidently imposed on a press correspondent in regard to the lynching of two negroes a few nights ago at Liberty Hill. That place is just five miles from Milner, in the eastern portion of Pike county, and diligent inquiry fails to verify the truth of the report. The people of the Liberty Hill community are law-abiding and would not resort to lynching on small provocation. An injustice has been done them perhaps through some mistake. FOR HARBORS AND RIVERS. A Washington special says: The important subject of coast defense is the first consideration in the annual report of General J. M. Wilson, chief of engineers. Generally speaking he reports most gratifying progress in the execution of the various projects during the last fiscal year. Because the report included the fiscal year only, the subject of the destruction of the Galveston defenses by the September hurricane is left for treatment in a subsequent report. The estimates above $25,000 for the river and harbor work next year in the south are as follows: Inland waterway from Chincoteague bay, Virginia, to Delaware bay, $60,-000; Patapsco river and channel to Baltimore, $522,362. Harbor, southeast Baltimore, $80,000. Potomac river, Washington, $200,000. Potomac, below Washington, $80,-400. Rappahannock river, Virginia, $25,000.

The case of Albert Howell, Sr., indicted for alleged embezzlement of $30,816 from the Atlanta and West Point railway, was taken up in Atlanta Monday morning. The defendant filed through his attorneys a demurrer to the indictment. The first paragraph alleges that the charge of conspiracy between Mr. Howell and Thomas J. Hunter is barred by the statute of limitations and should be stricken. The second paragraph says that the court in the indictment does not with sufficient particularity set out the sum charged to be embezzled within the statute of limitations, the indictment alleging the embezzlement of a certain sum, part of which was without the statute of limitations. Judge Candler overruled the objection and ordered the trial to proceed. Some difficulty was experienced in getting a jury, each side being exceedingly careful in, regard to qualifications. Mr. Howell did not appear to be in as good health as usual. He pleaded not guilty. It will be remembered that Thomas J. Hunter, co-jointly indicted with Mr. Howell, was sentenced to five years' imprisonment on April 27th, 1900. ADMINISTRATION NOT INDORSED. Negro Methodists of Tennessee Go Against President McKinley. At Saturday's session of the African Methodist Episcopal conference of Tennessee, in Chattanooga, the committee on the "state of the union" reported a resolution indorsing the national administration, especially the gold standard and the foreign policy of the president. The resolution raised a storm of objections and a heated discussion followed. The trend of the discussion was that the negro had nothing to gain from a further affiliation with the Republican or any other party. The resolution was then voted down by a decided majority. SAVANNAH. GA. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 3. 1900 WOULD=BEWRECKERS Caught In the Act of Displacing Rails On Trestle. DISASTER WAS NARROWLY AVERTED. Officers Were On Watchout For Miscreants and Nabbed Them—A Lynching Seemed Imminent. An Atlanta special says: A dastardly attempt was made to wreck the passenger train on the Seaboard Air Line railroad, four miles from Lawrenceville Saturday night, and the two men engaged in the plot to plunge the train with three hundred passengers over a trestle have been arrested and lodged in jail. The men had been suspected and watched, and were caught in the very act of removing the bolts from the rails. But for the fact that the attempted slaughter of many men, women and children occurred only four miles from Lawonencville, the prisoners would undoubtedly have been taken from the officers by the indignant passengers and lynched. As the train moved along, bearing the miscreants and their intended victims, the story of the outrage spread through the crowded coaches, and if there had been a few more miles to go the prisoners would have been left swinging on the side of the road to telegraph poles. The train which left Atlanta Saturday evening at 8 o'clock had five coaches, all crowded, many of the passengers having been to Atlanta to attend the fair. The two men who had plotted to murder by the wholesale for the purpose of robbery must have counted on this, and selected a time when they believed there would be many to fall into their grasp as they lay dying at the bottom of the trestle. The plan was to throw the train over the trestle at Yellow river, which is four miles this side of Lawrenceville. If the plan had succeeded the derailed train would have taken a frightful leap into a chasm. THE SHERIFF'S STORY. The account given by Sheriff Haslett is as follows: "For several days myself, B. F. Brubaker, of Raleigh, N. C., the chief detective of the Seaboard Air Line road, have been working on this matter. It was reported to us over a week ago that an attempt would be made to wreck the night train out of Atlanta. We have been laying for them, as it were, and last night we succeeded in bagging our game. "Just after dark, last night, J. T. Byrd, John Oaks, the detective and myself went out to the trestle, about four miles from town, it having been reported to us that the time for wrecking the train had arrived. We stationed Byrd and Oaks on one side of the river and the detective and myself on the other. About half an hour before the Atlanta train was due the wreckers were heard coming down the track and struck the trestle. "The trestle is 450 feet long and 50 feet high. They walked on to the trestle and stopped about 150 feet from the side we were on and went to work loosening bolts, etc. "That was sufficient warning to us, and we proceeded to close in on them. I had them both handcuffed together in a twinkling. They had a crowbar, two blocks and two rocks that they were using to throw the rails out of line. There was two of them, John Dalton, a young man about 22 years old, and Tom Patterson, a man about 28 years old. "Dalton lived on a farm about a half mile from the trestle. He is an unmarried man. Patterson is a married man with a family, and lives about one mile from the trestle. The detective asked them who they were and what they were doing. Patterson replied that he was working on the section and was fixing the trestle. "It was not long until the train came along. The detective waived it down and we all boarded the train for Lawrenceville. There were four coaches full of people and the news of our capture and the circumstances spread like wildfire through the train and caused great excitement. I verily believe that if the distance had been ten miles, instead of four, to Lawrenceville there would have been a lynching. PRISONER WAS HIDDEN OUT. Sherif Successo In Getting Allied Negro Xapat Safety In Alanta Jail. Sheriff W. T. Stevenson, of Jackson county, Ga., arrived in Atlanta, Tuesday morning with Gus Jones, the alleged negro rapist, and placed his prisoner in the Fulton county jail for safe keeping. Jones is charged with assaulting Dora Hood, a white girl, near Harmony Grove. Jones made his escape directly after the crime, but was captured last Friday night. Sheriff Stevens had kept him concealed, fearing mob violence, as indignation was at fever heat, until he saw an opportunity of reaching Atlanta in safety. CANDLER SWORN IN Georgia's Governor Takes Oath of Office For Second Term. CEREMONIES BRIEF BUT IMPRESSIVE Inaugural Address Shortand to the Point. Oath Was Administered By Chief Justice Simmons. In the presence of the general assembly of the state of Georgia, the justices of the supreme court and state officials, Governor Allen D. Candler took the oath of office as chief executive for the second time Saturday morning. The ceremony of the inauguration was brief and interesting, the senate and house convening in the hall of representatives in joint session at noon for the purpose of hearing the inaugural address and witnessing the ceremony. Governor Candler spoke but fifteen minutes. He reviewed the progress of Georgia along industrial and governmental lines and referred to its greatness not only in territory, but in the integrity and uprightness of its people. He advised the general assembly to deal lightly with that class of citizens which had been impoverished by recent shrinkage in values. He would not levy upon them a single dollar of taxes not absolutely essential to the running expenses of the state. During the address and the inauguration the gallery and floor of the house were crowded with visitors and Governor Candler received an enthusiastic reception as he came in the hall and later when introduced by President Howell of the senate. The president of the senate announced that the resolution under which the joint session had convened would be read. "It gives the chair great pleasure," said President Howell in presenting the governor, "to introduce Governor Allen D. Candler. He needs no presentation to this assembly, for he was known to the people of Georgia before he was elevated to the chief magistracy of the state. His popularity with the people is attested by the nearly 70,000 majority received by him less than a month ago in his second election to the governorship. It gives me great pleasure to present the governor-elect, Hon. Allen D. Candler, of Hall." The scene was an enthusiastic one as Governor Candler rose to deliver his inaugural address. At its conclusion the presiding officer announced that the governor-elect would be sworn in by the chief justice of the state. Chief Justice Simmons, of the supreme court, stepped forward and in a clear voice recited the oath under which the governor agrees to defend the constitution of the United States. Governor Candler then delivered to Secretary of State Cook the great seal of the state with the injunction: "I commit the great seal of the state of Georgia into your hands, feeling assured that its use will not be abused." This ended the ceremony and the joint session of the assembly was dissolved. POISONED BY GAS. Well Known Georgia Legislator Found In Dying Condition at Boarding House. M. B. Walker, a representative in the Georgia legislature from Crawford county, was found in a dying condition in his boarding house in Atlanta as the result of gas poisoning. The well known representative was found in his room in an almost lifeless condition and the apartment filled with stifling gas from a jet which had apparently been turned on for hours. The explanation of how the gas was turned on cannot be made clear, for no one was with the legislator when he retired. The most natural presumption is that Mr. Walker was unused to gas light in his room and that he must have blown the light out instead of turning it off when he retired for the night. Republicans Parade In Chicago. For six hours and a half Saturday working men from every branch of industry in Chicago, lawyers, merchants, railroad men, financiers, marched through the down town streets of the city in the parade of Republican voters which was planned as the culmination of the national campaign in Chicago. CLEYELAND IS SLATED. For President of Washington and Lee University to Success Wilson. According to a dispatch from Norfolk, Va., the presidency of Washington and Lee university made vacant by the death of William L. Wilson, will be offered to ex-President Grover Cleveland. A committee from the university will, in a few days, go to Princeton and formally extend the offer. Bryan Again In Gotham.

The war department Friday received a dispatch from General McArthur giving an account of a fight in which a small detachment of the American troops attacked a much superior force of Filipinos. The dispatch follows: "MANILA, October 26.—Adjutant General Washington: October 24th First Lieutenant Fibigger, forty men, company H, Thirty-third regiment, United States infantry volunteers; Second Lieutenant Grayson Vheidt, sixty men, troop L, Third cavalry, attacked insurgents fourteen miles east of Tartarvic, Ilocosca province, Luzon; developed strong position occupied by about 600 riflemen, 1,000 bolzen, under command of Juan Villamor, subordinate of Timos. "Desperate fight ensued, which was most creditable to force engaged, though under heavy pressure and overwhelming numbers, our troops were compelled to return to Tartican, which was accomplished in a tactical and orderly manner. Their loss, moderate estimate, over 150. Our loss, killed: First Lieutenant George L. Fibiger, Charles A. Lindenberg, William F. Wilson, Alfred L. Johnson, Guy E. McClintock. "Wounded, eight; missing, nine. "Thirty-six horses missing; some known to be killed." COUNTY COURT ILLEGAL. The Georgia Supreme Tribunal Renders a Startling Decision. The supreme court of Georgia, Friday, handed down a decision in the case of Dave Murray vs. the state, larceny from the house, which in effect declares the county court of Washington county to be illegal and its judgments of no effect. The court's decision is almost startling, in view of the many complications that it involves. The court was established in 1895, but the supreme court holds that the court is illegal because it was sought to be established under the general act of 1872, authorizing the establishment of county courts upon recommendation of the grand jury, but that Washington county was excepted from that act by a subsequent local act. Since its establishment judgments involving many thousands of dollars have been rendered in this court, and hundreds of people have served or are now serving sentences in the chingang imposed by the said court. The effect of the supreme court's decision, therefore, may be to cause the release of all persons now serving sentences imposed by the county court of Washington and to invite a renewal of litigation over civil cases already decided by a court which had no legal existence. ATTACKED BY LIONS. Young Woman Animal Tamer Has Frightful Experience In Burning Cage. On the midway of the Spartanburg, S. C., carnival Friday a spectator threw a lighted match near a can of gasoline, which exploded. The can was near the cage in which Madam Clio, otherwise known as "The Lion Queen," was doing her turn with four large lions belonging to the Frank P. Bostio Carnival company. The straw on the ground and the tent caught fire. The lions became frenzied and attacked the young woman. The spectators were terror stricken by the situation, and those who did not fly in panic could offer no assistance. The floor of the cage caught fire and there was dangler of the lions breaking out, but Madam Clio displayed remarkable strength and courage. With an iron bar she beat back the lions. Her arms and shoulders were cruelly torn by their claws, and her clothing stripped as well as burned by the fire, but she kept the lions under control, issuing orders for extinguishing the fire, until help came, and the roaring beasts were gotten into another cage. Reported Capture of Schrelber. Counsel for the Elizabethport bank, of Elizabethport, N. J., was informed by telegraph Friday from New Brunswick that a man who answers the description of William Schreiber, who robbed the bank of $100,000, had been taken into custody there. STRIKERS FACE BAYONLTS. Company of Infantry Intercep's Marching Miners Near Hazleton. About 1,500 men and, sixty women and girls marched eighteen miles from the South side Hazleton region during Monday night for the Panther Creek valley where they expected to close all of the ten collieries of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company, but just as the weary marchers were nearing their destination Tuesday morning they were met on the mountain road by three companies of infantry, and at the point of the bayonet were driven back-four miles to Tamaqua and dispersed.

NO 4 LEADERS SUICIDING Powers May Be Cheated Out of Revenge On Orientals. MINISTER WU RECEIVES CABLEGRAM It Announces the Death of Kang Yi and Yu Helen Who Were Identified With the Boxers. The Chinese minister at Washington has received a dispatch stating that Kang Yi, a member of the cabinet with Yung Lu and one of the anti foreign leaders, whose punishment was demanded by the powers, is dead; also that Yu Hslen, the late governor of Shan Si, who is said to have been responsible for the death of many missionaries, has committed suicide. Minister Wu regards this act as the result of the disfavor which the high officials receive from the throne. The text is as follows: "Cablegram from Viceroy Chang Ti Tung, dated October 25th, states that governor of Shan Si has reported that Kang Yi died on October 18th; that Yu Hsien, late governor of Shansi, has committed suicide by swallowing gold leaf, and Prince Tuan has not been permitted to accompany the court. "Cablegram, dated October 24th, from Director General Sheng, states that an imperial decree has been issued directing Prince Ching and Earl Li to fix and submit for approval the several penalties to be inflicted on those princes and ministers that ought to be punished. He adds that Kang Yi has died of sickness, and that Prince Tuan and Prince Chwang have not been allowed to accompany the court to Shansi." The death of Kang Yi is an important event, as he is one of the ring-leaders whose punishment was demanded by the powers. He held the position of assistant grand secretary and president of the civil board, and also was one of the six Chinese statesmen making up the privy council, or cabinet, which is the body nearest the throne. Although the dispatch to Mr. Wu says only that Kang Yi "died" on the 18th instant, it is thought that this "death" was the natural result of the disgrace which has overtaken the anti-foreign and boxer element. Governor Yn's method of suicide, by swallowing gold leaf, in nnique in China. It is a means by which high personages take their life, the gold leaf being representative of their high station. The leaf forms a congealed ball in canals of the body and brings death from suffocation. Minister Wu's advices received Friday also show that Prince Tuan has been visited with severe censure from the throne, and to such an extent that it would be no surprise if he followed the course of Kang Yi and Yu. He has been prevented from accompanying the imperial court to Sinan-Fa, and remains at Shansi, cut off from further influence on the throne. It is expected that he will be banished, which to a prince of the blood is worse than decapitation, and under the Chinese idea of propriety, suicide is likely to be his end. SENSATIONAL BILL Introduced In the Georgia Senate For Heavier Punishment of Ravishers. Senator Hardaway, of Thirty-sixth district, exploded a bomb in the Georgia senate chamber Friday morning by introducing a bill to amend the law for the punishment of assaults upon women. The bill caused a sensation. When Clerk Hansell read the document and read the words developing the unique idea of Mr. Hardaway there was for a moment doubtful silence, then every man's eye sought his neighbor's and there succeeded an excited though orderly little buzz. Mr. Hardaway's idea is to apply an unusual correction to the evil. Lawyers among the legislators say that he has undertaken what, under our law, is an impossibility without a constitutional amendment, for the constitution prohibits the legislature from imposing what it calls "cruel and unusual punishment." The bill was referred. ALYORD UNDER ARNEST. Absconding New York Defalter Captured In a Boston Lodger Menge. Cornelius L. Alvord, Jr., the abscending note teller of the First National bank in New York, who is charged with stealing $700,000 from the bank, was arrested in Boston Monday afternoon by Chief Inspector Watts, of Boston, and Detective Armstrong, of New York, in an ordinary lodging house at the corner of West Newton street and Burlington avenue. When arrested Alvord, who knew Detective Armstrong, stated he was glad the suspense was ended, and was willing to go back to New York without papers.

Scan your ticket closely. We will brand the traitors. The Baptist Truth is now being published at Macon. The early vote is the most telling. Vote early on Tuesday. It there were less sessions of the legislature there would be fewer fake measures introduced. The idea of a man wanting to reform (?) the party by advising voters not to vote on Tuesday. Proofs will be forthcoming and the traitorous Republicane will be read out of the party. Watch! Do not allow the peddlers of Democratic tickets a voice in the future counsels of the Republican party. The orders have been given and Leaken's name is to be scratched by the disorganizers, but we know them. Chairman Pleasant has managed the campaign in this district admirably. He is the right man for the job. Beware of the ticket headed "Republican Ticket," with Lester's name below. This ticket will be peddled by traitorous Negroes. There are less than fifteen traitorous Republicans in this county who will vote for Lester. They will not do it for principle of course. And now comes another legislator who wishes to change the law and divide the school fund according to classes. We feel confident that it will not pass. We are "on" to the traitors in Liberty county. They can not hide their hands any longer. For a mess of porridge they will sell their best friend. McIntosh county is also thus tainted. It behooves every Republican to be at the polls early and to encourage every other voter to do likewise. Let everybody work with a will and when the polls close at night there will be a reward by a well earned victory. The Republicans have waged an active campaign in this district, more active than has ever been waged, and the results will be helpful. This shows that the district was well organized with the right kind of men at its head. THE NEGRO DISFRANCHISED THE FIRST STEP INTO A NEW SLAVERY CAROLINA BALLOT BOX SENATOR TILLMAN IN CONGRESS—"We do our best to keep every negro in our State from voting" Campaign Closed. The campaign has been waged hotly in this district. Our candidate for Congress, Hon. W. R. Leaken. Capt. H. Blun, Jr., Col. J. H. Deveaux, Chairman L. M. Pleasant, Capt. J. C. Simmons, Rev. W. H. Styles, and Capt. W. D. Armstrong, have been doing real active work making addresses in many places, encouraging the voters and making converts to the principles of the Grand Old Party. Everywhere they went they were received by large and enthusiastic crowds that showed no feeling whatever for those who are like warm towards the ticket. If hard work is kept up until the polls close on Tuesday night and all promises are kept there will be many surprised persons after the ballots are consolidated. The Republicans in this county are alive to the situation and expect to poll every vote on the list. The county committee met on Wednesday and full arrangements were made for the election. The meeting was fully attended. True Republican sentiments were expressed and the traitors who are lukewarm were remembered. A place has been selected as headquarters and there will be perfect organization of the rallying committee, so that the vote of every member of the various districts will be polled, and the traitors noted. The campaign ended last night by a big rally at the Harris street hall. The addresses were replete with true Republican doctrine and everybody went away fully enthused to go out early Tuesday morning and vote for McKinley, $^{5}$ Roosevelt and Leaken. Mr. Leaken nor no other sensible person could pay the least attention to the nonsensical attacks that certain ones who are influenced by the Democrats and other disgruntled ones, are attempting to make upon him for some garbled newspaper reports. Strong pressure should be brought to bear to change the session of the legislature. It should be bi-annual instead of annually. There is no need for an annual session. It only places a burden on the tax payers and there is really no benefit derived therefrom. The national election takes place on Tuesday next. The issues have been clearly stated and there is no room for doubting. The outlook for Republican success is bright, and it is predicted that McKinley and Roosevelt will be elected by an overwhelming majority. The vote in this district will be a surprise. It is claimed that the employees of the post office took no active part in the disorganized party meeting last week, but this is strenuously denied. One of them made the first motion, another acted as temporary secretary, still another was elected permanent secretary and has not resigned either, and others were active spectators in the proceedings. The echo of this meeting will be heard in years to come. The question can be asked with much concern, where are we drifting? An element of people of certain sections have become frenzied and act like barbarians in dealing with those who are suspected of crimes, and further manifest this in many cases in the mutilation of the bodies of the accused. To legalize the action of this element, one of their lovers in the Georgia legislature has introduced a bill to legalize mutilation of the bodies of those executed for certain crimes. For a bill like this to have been introduced in a legislature during ancient time, there would not be so much wonder about it; and yet the civilized ones of to-day would look upon it as a travesty on civilization, and for inch a bill to be introduced at this time and in Georgia, does not reflect very favorably upon our standing for civilization or regard for humanity. Of course the bill will not pass. The first copy of the Georgia Baptist to reach our office in about two months was received last week. It was the 20th anniversary edition, well printed, replete with excellent reading matter and adorned with cuts of several well-known persons The edition is a reflex of the able management of the Baptist, with its veteran head, Dr. White and Mr. Wm. J. White, Jr. THE TRIBUNE extends to the Baptist and its management congratulation on its anniversary. College Briefs. Mr. W. H Bryan has returned to his place in the Junior(College)class There are now seven of them. Mrs. Eugene Duncan of Montgomery Ala., and her children have gone to Jacksonville, Fla. to visit her other aunt Mrs. Ross. She has been visiting her aunt Mrs. Wright, and her brother Mr Howard of the senior class. The School City Government is getting on its feet again. Mayor Wiley and his Aldermanic Board are getting ready for business. Students are still coming. All houses within the campus are packed and now houses outside the campus are being packed. President Cosey of the Philosophian Literary Society and his Cabinet are setting a fine pace for the other literary societies. Supt Himes of the Trades and Manual Training department and his associates are moving off in good shape. Farm Mauager Travis is expecting to dig one thousand bushels of potatoes this year, and the boarding students are happy. The students are showing excellent spirit of patience during the crowded condition of the College. They seem to be here for business. The Friday evening prayer-meetings were promptly resumed the first week of school. The students and Instructors enjoy this half hour of prayer. Without Reason. Savannah has always been the headquarters for the military both white and colored of this state. The majority or two thirds of the State Troops, colored, are located here and hence much interest is manifested whenever anything occurs that effects them. About one year ago the troops were rigidly inspected and the result was the cutting down to seven companies, six of them being now equipped and organized. These companies were again rigidly inspected about three months ago, and the inspector general, officially and otherwise, spoke in glowing terms of the inspection and praised the officers and men. He made a report to that effect. The Assistant Adjutant General who has not been in as close contact with the companies as the inspector, has recommended their disbandment. In his recommendation, he could but say that they were efficient and their reports were excellent. His reason for recommending the disbandment is not tangible, and we earnestly hope that the legislature will pay no attention whatever to the recommendation. Ladles Home Journal. More than ninety five million copies—to be exact, 95,237,523—of The Ladies' Home Journal have been issued since the magazine was first printed, seventeen years ago. December, 18S3, was the Journal's birth-month, and the first edition aggregated, all told, twenty thousand The magazine was well received at the very start, and that time on its growth has been phenomenally rapid the increase never halting, until the circulation has reached nine hundred and twenty-three thousand copies a month. During the past eleven months the increase has averaged forty-seven thousand copies per month over the corresponding interval of last year. Sons of Veterans and Daughters of the Confederate will be present at the Confederate Museum in August. November 16th, 15th, and 10th. Take Seaboard Air Line Railway, MASONIC COLUMN. Worshipful Masters should keep in mind the fact that they should go to work with a vim and collect the first assessment levied by the Grand Lodge. It is not too early for the brethren to "look well to" the East" and select only those who are fully capable for the honor. If your present officers are capable there is no use whatever to change, but at any rate get all around good officers. The basis of free Masonry is indeed broad, very broad, but not so broad as to unite all men of all opinions. Masonry does not close the door against any man for his religion. When the Lodge has doe thou she has done all that her professions require her to do. But the mistake sectarians make is that they wish to have the ritual and usages of Free Masonry so changed that its ceremonial shall be perfectly agreeable to their religious view. This would make the society, the very thing which they say it should not be namely, a sectarian institution. While Free Masonry does not exclude any on account of their religion, she does not stultify herself by pretending that all her lectures and ceremonies are so constructed as to please every individual, by exactly according with every shade of his religious views. Such a pretension would be sheer folly, since no institution can do this, and no honest society would pretend to do it—Tyler. The Toronto Sun say: "Free-masonry is purely a voluntary association. A member in good standing and not in arrests for dues cannot be compelled to retain his membership in any particular lodge against his own will. This is the law of Masonry everywhere. The candidate enters at his own free will, and so long as he complies with all the requirements and regulations, of the order, though not relieved from the performance of his general duties, he is still a free man and can retire whenever it suits his sense of duty to himself without giving any reason for his action. Freedom of conscience is held up before the mind of the candidate at every step he takes in Masonry." The Sun attempts to shine on both sides of the shield. The candidate comes of his own free will to seek the benefits of Masonry, which he can only obtain, however, on the surrender of his will. The statement by the Sun that "as long as he complies with all the requirements and regulations of the Order" is the point that sticks. The voluntary promises virtually to obey all laws, rules and regulations of the lodge when he becomes a member. How then can he become a law abreth himself? State Republicans Active. 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: Under McKinley's administration the promises of the Republican party of. 1896 have been maintained; an opportunity given to willing labor to work at remunerative wages; the commerce of the nation extendd to new fields, resulting in such an opening for our growing industries as to cruise 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 Rosenvelt.

POPULATION IS 76,295,220 Census Figures Have Doubled in Last Thirty Years. OFFICIAL REPORT MADE PUBLIC Growth For Last Ten Years Was Nearly 21 Per Cent-Figures by States For 1900. A Washington special says: The official announcement of the total population of the United States for 1900 is 76,295,220, of which 74,627,907 are contained in the forty-five states representing approximately the population to be used for apportionment purposes. There is a total of 134,158 Indians not taxed. The total population in 1890, with which the aggregate population of the present census should be compared, was 63,069,756. Taking the 1890 population as a basis there has been a gain in the population of 13,225,464, during the past ten years, representing an increase of nearly 21 per cent. Following is the official announcement of the population of the United States: in 1900 by states: Alabama.....1,828,697 Arkansas.....1,311,564 California.....1,485,053 Colorado.....539,700 Connecticut.....908,355 Delaware.....184,735 Florida.....528,542 Georgia.....2,216,329 Idaho.....161,771 Illinois.....4,821,550 Indiana.....2,516,463 Iowa.....2,251,829 Kansas.....1,469,496 Kentucky.....2,14,174 Louisiana.....1,381,627 Maine.....694,366 Maryland.....1,189,946 Massachusetts.....2,805,346 Michigan.....2,119,792 Minnesota.....1,751,395 Mississippi.....1,551,372 Missouri.....3,107,119 Montana.....243,289 Nebraska.....1,008,901 Nerada.....42,394 New Hampshire.....411,588 New Jersey.....1,883,669 New York.....7,268,009 North Carolina.....1,891,992 North Dakota.....319,040 Ohio.....4,157,545 Oregon.....413,532 Pennsylvania.....6,301,965 Rhode Island.....428,556 South Carolina.....1,340,312 South Dakota.....401,559 Tennessee.....2,022,723 Texas.....3,048,828 Utah.....276,565 Vermont.....349,641 Virginia.....1,854,184 Washington.....517,672 West Virginia.....958,900 Wisconsin.....2,068,963 Wyoming.....92,531 Total ..... 74,627,907 TERRITORIES, ETC.

The Republican campaign in Ohio was at a standstill Thursday as a tribute of respect to the memory of Hon. John Sherman, whose funeral occurred at Mansfield in the afternoon. The order of Secretary Dick, of the Republican state executive committee is regarded as unique in the political annals of Ohio, but all meetings were either declared off or postponed, and the political opponents of the parly had the field to themselves for the day. The state offices in the capitol building were closed during the afternoon. FIVE CHILDREN CREMATED. Parents Were Away From Home and the Usual Thing Happened. A dispatch from Edmonton, Manitoba, states that the house of a settler named Hutsko at Egg Lake East was burned down a few days ago, five children losing their lives in the building. The father was away and the mother had gone to a neighbor's, and on returning found the house in ashes. Two of the children belonged to a neighbor. AMER'S HILLS DE MAPSTA It was Voltaire who said: "People whose bowels are freed by an easy, regular movement every morning are mild, affable, gracious, kind. A 'No' from their mouth comes with more grace than a 'Yes' from the mouth of one who is constipated." Such is Voltaire's testimonial to the value of Ayer's Pills. J. C. AYER.

Ayer's Sartaparilla Ayer's Pills Ayer's Ague Cure Ayer's Hair Vigor Ayer's Cherry Pectaral Ayer's Comatone PENCIL AND PAPER They Form a Child's Trust Form of Everyday Diversion. Some pads, a box of crayons, foolscap paper and old picture books which are not too good to be embellished by childish artists, and liberty to draw anything the children please, will assist little people in their indoor hours. The use of such tools teaches a child nicety and development. In Mrs. Loulie Hogan's interesting volume, "A Sutdy of a Child," one observes how progressive in the case of the little one there described was the skill used in using paper and pencil. Many mothers are too occupied with other things to keep a record of their children's early artistic efforts, and not every little one who uses pencil and paper is destined in after life to become a great painter or artist, but the ability to draw, to sketch, to show what one sees with the eye by the work of the trained fingers, adds a distinct toy to life. Children need a great deal of variety. By simply keeping them happy and busy they are often saved from fits of temper and crossness which leave them exhausted and precipitate endless controversies. For the tempests in the nursery, which sometimes raise havoc there, the mother and the teacher and sometimes the nurse are responsible, rather than the little ones, who are so responsive to gentleness and so willing to be good if only they are happy. There is a great deal of difference, of course, in the innate ability of children to employ themselves. One small person finds engagements and occupations for himself, and rarely comes with the baffling question, "What shall we do now?" Another is dependent on the suggestions of those about him. There are children who even in the nursery show that they are born to rule, while there are others who are born to follow. The withdrawal of an amusement when it ceases to be interesting is desirable, and children should not be forced to write or draw, or compelled to keep on with a distasteful pursuit for which there is no occasion. The homely game of gobellinks is liked by many little ones, but if they are very small some older persons should be present, that ink spots may not come upon face, hands and clothing. The gobellink is a picture made by letting a single drop of ink fall upon a sheet of paper and then folding over the paper; the ink runs in very droll shapes and forms, about which the mother may easily weave an entertaining story.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

It is a crime to sell liquor to an Indian or to bring it upon the reservation, and the law is strictly enforced, therefore they are not in the habit of drinking except when they wander off the reservation. But there is a great deal of tuberculosis, scrofaula and such diseases. These are the causes of many of the deaths. There were twenty-two cases of smallpox on the reservation last year, but none of them was fatal. The census of the tribe has just been taken, showing a total of 1,941, or 51 less than last year. The year before the number fell off thirty, and that has been the average decrease for several years. The landlord at the hotel near the reservation says that for several years all his vegetables and hay have been furnished him by an Indian named Stops, who has a good garden and produces good crops. When Indians come into the agency they usually take their meals at the hotel, sometimes fifty or sixty a day, but the landlord says there is no money in feeding them, because they eat so much. He has to pay fifteen and seventeen cents a pound for meats, and every Indian will eat a pound or more at a meal. They are passionately fond of ice cream, and nearly every day several call at the hotel to inquire if it is to be served at dinner. If so they stay. If not they come again. Best For the Bowels.

McBay, a highly esteemed police officer, who resides at 14 Myrtle St., New Bedford, Mass., says: "About two years ago my little daughter became run down in health and suffered from St. Vitus' dance. Soon after she was prostrated by rheumatism, which severely affected her low limbs. "After trying various remedies without obtaining relief, she began taking Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, and experienced immediate benefit. She continued its use, and after taking five bottles her rheumatism was practically cured. Her appetite returned, her pains disappeared, she was again able to walk without lameness, her general health was restored, and she was able to attend school and to play like other children."
