V)L XVI TAX LAW IS UPHELD United States Supreme Court Decides Against "Peg" Williams. IMMIGRANT AGENT MUST PAY TAX Test Case Was Made to Decide Constitutionality of Georgia Law and the State Courts Are Uphold In Decisions. A Washington special says: In an opinion handed down by Chief Justice Fuller, the United States supreme court Monday affirmed the opinion of the supreme court of Georgia in the case of R. A. Williams against Sheriff Fear, of Morgan county. The case involved the constitutionality of the state revenue law, and especially that portion of it applying to immigrant agents. Both decisions upheld the law. A. Williams, better known as Peg Leg Williams, has gained wide notoriety of late by his immigration operations in Georgia and his refusal to pay the tax demanded of him by the state, and he will now have to pay $500 tax, or discontinue business. The history of the Williams case is well known as its different features have all from time to time been published. It will be remembered that Williams created quite a sensation in Georgia by visiting different counties and inducing the negro farm hands to immigrate to other states. There is a state law that requires such immigrant agents to pay a tax of $500, and it was only a short time until the tax collectors were hot on William's trail, in an effort to collect the tax. In some counties, however, the agent stoutly refused to obey the law, and in two counties he paid the tax under protest. Williams visited Morgan county and began to pursue his profession of transporting the negro labor. The tax-collector there called on him-for the tax, requisite to carry on the business, but Williams refused to pay it. The collector then swore out a warrant before a justice of the peace, charging Williams with a misdemeanor, and on trial he was committed to the county court. The matter was carried through all the lower courts, and as a last resort Williams appealed to the United States supreme court for a decision. This decision was handed down Monday, and it finally decrees that the immigrant agent must accede to the demands of the state of Georgia, or seek new fields to prosecute his immigration business. There are also warrants in several other counties against Williams for failure to pay tax, and it is probable that the state will receive a great sum in the nature of back taxes. An immigrant office was recently opened in Atlanta by Williams, and he has persistently refused to pay the state tax. He will now have to pass over to the tax collector the necessary coin, or he will be arrested and prosecuted in the state courts. This stubbornlyfought case has attracted much attention, not only in Georgia, but all over the south, and the course pursued by Williams will be watched with interest. "SQUABBLE" OVER DEAD BODY. Undertaker Claims Remains of Negro For Whom Keyward Was Offered. A few days ago a negro named Douglass Miller fell from a Southern trestle in Rome, Ga., crushing his skull and sustaining other injuries. He was not dead when picked up and the physicians resorted to trepanning, but without result, as the negro died in a short time. Since his death the fact has been brought out that Miller is wanted in Alabama for the murder of a white man and that there is $100 reward for his capture. Just here is the point for a hot discussion between the police force and Frank West, undertaker. When the negro fell West's ambulance removed him to his boarding house. When he died the body was removed to West's undertaking parlors. West thinks the reward belongs to him. The police hold descriptions of the negro and claim that they discovered the fact that he was wanted. They demand the body. West refuses to give it up, so a pretty muddle exists. In the meanwhile officers from Alabama are awaited for thorough identification. DEWEY'S MOTHER-IN-LAW ILL. Physicians Have Little Hope of Mrs. McLean's Recovery. Mrs. Washington McLean, mother of John R. McLean, proprietor of the Cincinnati Enquirer, and of Mrs. Dewey, wife of Admiral Dewey, is very seriously ill of heart complications at her home in Washington. The attending physicians have little hope of her recovery. Conductor and Two Tramps Killed. A wreck occurred at 10:30 o'clock Saturday, night on the Southern railway three miles south of Sanford, Tenn., resulting in the death of Conductor David L. Glover and two unknown tramps. REDUCTION TOO SMALL. A Washington special says: The report of the minority members of the ways, and means committee on the bill reducing war revenue taxes about $40,000,000 is signed by the entire Democratic membership—Richardson, of Tennessee; Swanson, of Virginia; McOlellan, of New York; Newlands, of Nevada; Cooper, of Texas, and Underwood, of Alabama. The minority thinks the proposed reduction of revenue is too small and that the remaining taxes are unnecessary and should be removed. The minority takes issue with Secretary Gage's estimate of $25,000,000 surplus in 1902, and say that if congress observes proper economy in expenditures the surplus ought to be $109,000,000. The report says that a reduction of $70,000,000 in taxation would permit the relief of the tobacco and beer producing interests which have suffered from the heavy war taxes and would enable the abolition of many rexatious and annoying taxes that will be continued under the proposed legislation. The Republican house cancels on the war revenue reduction bill decided Monday night by a large majority to stand by the bill as now drawn. CARTER STAYS IN PRISON. Judges Decide That No Pardon Will Be Extended Convict. In a decision handed down by Judge Hook, of the federal district court of Kausaa, and concurred in by United States Circuit Judge Amos Thayer, Monday afternoon, Oberlin M. Carter, former captain U. S. A., under sentence of five years' imprisonment for misappropriation of government funds while in charge of the harbor work of Savannah, is remanded to the custody of Robert W. McLaughey, warden of the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth, where Carter has been confined, the court overruling the petitioner's demurrier on the habeas corpus writ issued some time ago and sustaining the ruling of the trial courts together with the subsequent action of President McKinley, who set aside twelve of the charges under which he was convicted, but made no change of the sentence imposed by courtmartial. In addition to the prison sentence Carter was fined $5,000, which was prid, and he was dismissed from the army. Judges Thayer and Hook find these proceedings were entirely regular. One of the chief contentions urged in Carter's behalf was that the president, in reducing the number of specifications preferred, thereby made void the punishment inflicted. NEW ROAD CHARTERED. Brunswick and Birmingham Railroad Is an Assured Fact. A delegation of Brunswickians composed of Messrs. W. F. Symons, Edwin Brobston and C. W. Deming called upon Secretary of State Phil Cook at Atlanta, Ga., Monday, and filed an application for the charter of the Brunswick and Birmingham railroad. Colonel E. C. Machen, the well known railroad builder, is at the head of the construction of it. Behind him are men prominent in the financial centers of the east. The road is to be 400 miles in length and will cost $6,750,000 to build; $3,000,000 of this amount has been subscribed and 10,000 tons of steel rails are contracted for to be delivered as fast as grading is completed. NEELY CASE ARGUED. Supreme Court Judges Consider Important Questions of Law. The Neely extradition case was argued in the United States supreme court Monday. The argument developed interesting and important questions of law with reference to extradition of a criminal in the absence of an extradition treaty, and especially with reference to the right of the president since the ratification of the treaty of Paris to maintain a military form of government in the island of Cuba. The latter feature of the argument made it the first of the arguments which bring up for the final decision by the supreme court the constitutional relations between this country and the territorial acquisitions which it has gained as a result of the Spanish American war. ENTOMOLOGIST IS UNRELENTING. Infected Fruit Trees Shipped Into Georgia Consigned to Flames. Georgia's state entomologist destroyed nearly three thousand dollars worth of fruit trees in Colnmbus Monday morning because they were infected with the San Jose scale. The seizure and burning of the trees is quite interesting, as being part of a very vigorous crusade which the state entomologist is waging just now against the San Jose scale, and, incidentally, all dealers who ship into the state trees so infected: This is the third or fourth seizure made during the past several weeks. SAVANNAH: GA.. SATURDAY. DECEMBER 15. 1900 MINISTER ACQUITTED A Sensational Murder Trial at Bamburg, S. O., Ended. DEFENDANT MAKES HIS STATEMENT. Verdict Rendered Sunday Morning and Rev. Johnson Went at Once and Preached to His Congregation. Rev. William E. Johnson preached to a large congregation in the Baptist church in Bamberg, S. C., at 11 o'clock Sunday. At 5:30 Sunday morning the jury that had been hearing the evidence in his case for four days rendered a verdict acquitting him of the murder of William T. Bellinger, court stenographer of the second circuit. Johnson went from the court room to his home, and after spending a few hours there repaired to his church, where he was greeted by a large congregation. There were a few in the court room when the jury announced their agreement. Johnson appeared, and from his calm demeanor none would have suspected he was a man who was about to be told whether he was to suffer the penalty for a terrible crime or be given freedom and returned to his family. Quietly he stood, without showing the least emotion, while the clerk read the papers and read not guilty. The trial throughout attracted widespread interest. The closing testimony for the defense, however, was the most important. It was known that the defendant would take the stand, and the courthouse was packed. The defendant was the last witness for his side. He was the pastor of three Baptist churches—at Bamberg, Denmark and Hunter's chapel. In June, 1899, he was called on by Mr. Brown to perform a marriage ceremony between him and Miss Bellinger. Saturday following Mrs. Bellinger came to his house and abused him to his wife. Willie Bellinger, who came for his mother, said to Mrs. Johnson: "Shut up; I've heard enough of that," when she demonstrated for the abuse of her husband. The witness did not see Bellinger again until the day before the shooting, when he found him sitting on the line fence between the parsonage and the Bellinger's. Mrs. Bellinger was present. A negro painter was in the parsonage yard painting a fence. Johnson ordered him out. Bellinger ordered him to remain. The negro said he was afraid. "Afrraid of what!" exclaimed Bellinger. "That long legged —" with several other epithets. "I told Bellinger he could not go out in the road and say that. He jumped down and went out of his gate. I went out of mine and saw he had a pistol in his hand. I exclaimed," You are armed, eh? Bellinger repeated his abusive language. I turned and walked back. Soon after Colonel Counts came to my house, and I told him of the difficulty. He went off and returned with Mr. Sanders, bringing a gun, which I used in shooting Mr. Bellinger. It was loaded. I expected to use it to protect myself, my family and my home. "The next morning I went with Mr. Brown to the postoffice. I was armed with a pistol, because I thought I was in danger of being shot. After returning to my home, Brown drove up to the gate, and I started out to meet him. I saw Willie Bellinger coming across the campus, which is in front of my house, and I picked up my shotgun to defend myself against any possible danger. "When I got to where Brown was Bellinger had approached to within ten or fifteen steps of us, and he opened fire on us with a pistol. Mr. Bellinger shot at me twice. Then I shot. I was standing in the road. Without reference to any telegraph pole, there was nothing between us that I saw. I shot him to save my life." On cross examination by the attorney general, Johnson said he was standing by Brown's horse talking, when Bellinger came up. After firing the first shot he brought his gun to the position of "ready" so he could use the other barrel, if necessary. After the shooting he quieted his wife and drove to the jail. He had wanted to fight Bellinger with his fists, not with a pistol. APPEAL FOR HELP Made By Storm Victims In Little Town of LaGrange, Tennessee. The people of LaGrange, Tenn., have sent out an appeal for help. They say that all the business portion and nearly all the residence portion of the town are in ruins and many of the inhabitants are left utterly destitute. They ask that contributions be sent to W. F. Hancock, mayor of the town. Safe Crackers at Work. Professional cracksmen burglarized the Farmers' bank at Orland, O. T., Wednesday night, and secured more than $5,000. The robbers blew the safe open with uligrolyserine. INVESTIGATE HAZING Congress Inquires Into Affairs at West Point Military School. Regular Debate on the War Revenue Reduction Measure Begins In Earnest. A Washington special says: The debate on the war revenue reduction bill was opened in the house Tuesday by Mr. Payne, of New York, chairman of the ways and means committee, who spoke on behalf of the majority, Mr. Swanson, of Virginia, speaking on behalf of the minority. The house adjourned early to permit the hall to be decorated for the exercises in connection with the centennial celebration Wednesday. Before the war revenue reduction bill was taken up a resolution was adopted for the appointment of a special committee of five members to investigate the death of Oscar L. Booz, of Bristol, Pa., who died recently, it is alleged, as a result of hazing received while a cadet at West Point. This course was taken over the head of the military committee, which reported in favor of allowing the war department to conduct the inquiry. The presentation of the resolution and the reading of the reports of the secretary of war and Colonel Mills aroused great interest in the house. Mr. Driggs, of New York, the author of the original resolution, protested vigorously against the adoption of the substitute, as it did not include a provision for an investigation of the general subject of hazing at West Point with a view to putting a permanent stop to such practices. He declared that the practice of infamously hazing "plebs" at West Point was notorious. Mr. Driggs declared that he would be in favor of abolishing the academy if these brutal practices could not be stopped. (Applause.) Mr. Wanger, of Pennsylvania, who appointed Booz, spoke in favor of a congressional investigation. He said he did not presume to know the exact facts, but reputable newspapers had made statements relative to the case which had profoundly moved the people of the country. The gross outrages known to have been committed at the academy in the past, had groused the conviction that the officers of the academy and of the army were so jealous of the fair name of the academy that they guarded it as indiscreetly as the officers of France did in the Dreylus case. Mr. Wranger was not opposed to receiving any information the secretary of war had on the subject or to the proposed inquiry by the war department, but he insisted that only a congressional inquiry would satisfy the country. Such an investigation would bring out the facts and lead to action which would forever prevent cadets from becoming the victims of hazing in the future. Mr. Clayton, of New York, who was himself a graduate of West Point, defended the military academy. He said there was no necessity for bringing up the Dreyfus case. The records of the academy stood for itself. "Why not investigate them?" asked Mr. Wranger. "The academy fears no investigation," replied Mr. Clayton. "The son of a washerwoman and a millionaire are on the same footing when they enter the academy." In concluding the debate Mr. Hull said it was erroneous to believe that the army was interested in shielding West Point. "If the charges of hazing should be proved," asked Mr. Driggs, "is there any law which could reach the cadets who participated?" "The gentleman can answer that question as well as I," answered Mr. Hull. "But if proven, if the war department does not take steps to dismiss the guilty ones from the academy, congress will." (Applause.) Mr. Wagner's resolution for a special committee of five was then adopted without division. Consideration of the bill for the reduction of the war taxes was then begun. MORE TELEGRAPHERS OUT. Sympathetic Strike of Operators on Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Road. Six hundred telegraph operators on the lines of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad struck Saturday in sympathy with the operators on the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe railroad, a branch of the Atchison system, who went out Thursday. The company is taking steps as rapidly as possible to remedy the trouble. Agents who are also operators have been supplied with telegraph instruments are, now receiving and sending all messages governing the movement of trains.

In the midst of one of the most bitter gales that ever swept Lake Erie, the iron ore barge Charles Foster, in row of the Iron Duke, went to the bottom at 4 o'clock Sunday morning, ten miles off Erie, Pa., and eight persons were drowned, as follows: Captain John Bridge, of Cleveland; first mate, name unknown; second mate, name unknown; Seaman Robert Wood, of Port Austin, Mich.; Seaman, Willism Kelly, of Port Austin, Mich.; Cook Mrs. May, of Detroit; two unknown deck hands. The Charles Foster was one of the fleet of James Corrigan, of Cleveland, and for two months has been running from Duluth to Erie with iron ore. Her cargo consisted of 1,500 tons of ore. Captain Ashley, of the Iron Duke, made Erie in safety. When asked for an opinion as to the cause of the sinking of the Foster, Captain Ashley said that he could not tell. "Apparently everything was all right aboard her," he said, "until she took that fatal dip. There had not been a single signal of distress from her up to that time." There is from 80 to 100 feet of water where she went down, and there is little hope of ever being able to locate the place. The Foster was valued at $19,000, but there was no insurance, as it elapsed December 1st. The cargo was not insured. The life saving crew took a trip out Sunday, but could find no traces of wreckage. GEORGIANS TACKLE FILIPINOS. Detachment From Company A, Twenty- Ninth Infantry, Have a Close Call. A detachment of 26 men from Co. A, 29th United States infantry, com- posed almost exclusively of Atlanta, Ga., boys, have had a brush with Filipinos in the vicinity of Boac, Marinduque Island, P. I., while com- manded by First Sergeant James T. Ellis. In addition to the loss of Corporals Jacob Spare and Clarence A. Felts, who were captured by the enemy, se- veral men were wounded, among them being Sergeant Ellis, whose right arm was penetrated by a bullet and the bone fracture.l. Corporal Jefferson A. Upshaw was shot in the right side of the chest, but the wound is not serious. CREDIT IS OURS. Milder Terms With China, the Work of the United States. A St. Petersburg paper, in an article evidently inspired, referring to the recent dispatch from Dr. Morrison, in Pekin, to The London Times, saying that all the credit for securing softened terms is given by the Chinese to the Russians, remarks: "The credit for the existing entente really belongs to America. England begrudges President McKinley his just prestige because he has emphasized America's friendship for Russia." The Russian journal regards the alterations which America has procured in the peace preliminaries as of the greatest importance. WHITECAPS USE DYNAMITE. After Warning Objectionable Citizen to Leave, They Blow Up His House. The residence of A. J. Thomas, near Cluttsville, Ala., was blown into atoms Friday night with dynamite in the hands of whitecaps. Thomas is 40 years of age and unmarried. For some time he has had living with him seven women of questionable repute. He received several warnings to send the women away, but gave no head to the warnings. Only one woman was hurt in the explosion. Thomas fled. CZAR IS GETTING WELL. He Is Taking on Weight and Shows Desided Improvement. A St. Petersburg special says: A satisfactory bulletin issued at Livadia Sunday concerning the czar's condition was as follows: "His majesty's weight is increasing, and the organs affected by typhoid fever have returned to their normal condition." PROPOSED "JUNKET" SQUASHED. Governor Pro Tem. Jelks of Alabama Issues First Veto. Governor Jelks of Alabama sent up his first veto to the legislature Tuesday, and, like his first message, it was in the line of retrenchment, in spending the public money of the state. A joint resolution of the two houses appointing a committee of ten to junk over the state during the recess for purpose of inspecting the workings of the sixteen nor of the state, and report sembling of the 'legis' meet with the governor in plain, tense laugh the legislature. NO 10. PEACE PROSPECTIVE LI HUNG CHANG AN ARBITER Rapid Prosecution of Work Is Only Hindered By Failure to Hear From English Government. Advices from Pekin state that the ministers met Tuesday to consider the matter of the credentials of the Chinese plenipotentiaries. There is every prospect that definite steps will be taken for the arrangement of a preliminary settlement, and this greatly relieves those who realized the danger of prolonged delay in opening negotiations. Some of the ministers stated that they were authorized to treat with them as representatives of China, while others, including the German minister, had received no instructions in the matter. All decided, however, that as soon as Sir Ernest Mason Satow, the British minister, shall receive word to agree to the joint note, they will commence negotiations with Li Hung Chang and Prince Chang unless otherwise instructed by their home governments. At the meeting of the provisional government held Tuesday the United States was represented by Captain Dodds, of the Ninth infantry. All of the governments have entered into the plan except France, whose representatives insist that the French territory shall be excluded from the rule of the commission appointed. A number of sub-committees were appointed. Several high Chinese officials, on being asked, expressed a desire to assist. Though army officera have been appointed members of the commission, it is the desire of the generals to make the rule civil as far as possible. Japan was placed on the charity committee on account of the amount of rice she commandered in August, most of which she has now. Count von Waldersee has turned over $53,000 as the British share of the result of the Pao Ting Fu expedition to General Gaslee, who in turn gave the money to Minister Satow to be used for the benefit of Chinese who may need help during the winter. Li Hung Chang visited General Chaffee Tuesday. He says that his powers to negotiate with the foreign envoys, though conferred by telegraph, are absolute and complete. The railway between Pekin and Tien Tsin is now open and regular traffic has been resumed. GREAT DAY IN CHARLESTON. Corner-Stone Laying Inaugurates the Interstate and West Indian Exposition. With the laying of the corner-stones of the administration building at Charleston Tuesday, the South Carolina Interstate's and West Indian Exposition was formally launched, and behind the great project is the wish for success from every man and woman in the city. Business people of all classes are personally and financially interested in the undertaking, and from the time the first call was made for stock the people have responded quickly and liberally. Between 10,000 and 12,000 people witnessed the exercises. Nearly $200,000 has been subscribed in Charleston, and it is expected that this amount will be increased to $250,000 within the next few months. The state of South Carolina will rally to the firm aid of the exposition, and the United States senate has already voted for the appropriation of $250,000 for this Charleston enterprise. The committee from the house will be strongly urged to concur and there is every reason to believe that the entire amount will be appropriated as asked. When the appropriations are in the exposition company will have resources amounting to $1,000,000. Murderer Mell-Gets the Limit. A Savannah, Ga., dispatch says: Sandy Mell, who shot to death his brother-in-law, James Busbee, was found guilty in the Chatham superior court Tuesday of voluntary slaughter and Judge Falligant indicted the full penalty under the law—twenty years in the penitentiary. VICTORY FOR SCHOOL Georgia Senate Committee Votes $40,000 to State-Technological Institution. The appropriation committee of the Georgia state senate at a session Tuesday night acted favorably on that feature of the appropriation bill which was $40,000 to the Georgia School of Technology.

SATURDAY DECEMBER 15, 1900. THE spirit of dissension is too rampant. A GREAT people is denoted by their unanimity of action. A LITTLE word of cheer is appreciated by the strongest of men. The tax books will close next week. Every payer must keep it in mind. The colored man who keeps out of the clutches of the law does good for himself and his race. A "good time" is the rock upon which the ship of many a young man and woman is wrecked. MANY of our readers commended us for our timely editorial on the proper way to celebrate Christmas day. This is the last day for registration for the city election. If you want to vote, go at once and register. EVERYBODY will have more than two weeks to compose pledges for the new year, and in fact the new century too. We wish to inform our readers that the three hours old white child picked up the other night at the door of a residence on Barnard street, was not of colored parentage. It is not treating us fairly to complain of our not making mention of things that you fail to report to us. We will gladly published anything reasonable for our subscribers when they inform us. We would feel proud over the fact that Savannah was represented at the coming inauguration of President McKinley by its artillery company and at least one of its infantry companies, all if possible. MR. BELL, in his endeavor to divide the tax paid by colored and white citizens for their respective schools, did not take in consideration that colored tax payers assists in paying the pension to disabled confederate soldiers and will be taxed to keep up their home. THE TRIBUNE deplores the fact that so many of our young ladies of respectability, stultify their womanhood by climbing up the winding steps into the peanut gallery of the theatre. And upon them too, we are depending to solve whatever there may be of the race problem. THE supreme court of the United States has decided that the Kentucky separate car law is constitutional. This opinion was given by one justice. We have not seen the decision, but cannot see how such a high tribunal, which should be free from bias and prejudice render such an opinion. THE white man Mell, who deliberately shot and killed his fifteen year old brother-in-law was tried this week and sentenced to the penitentiary for twenty years. Prior to his trial, the colored man Barnes, was convicted on partly circumstantial evidence, and given a life sentence. Argument unnecessary. THE newspapers of the state have been vigorously protesting against the federal revenue stamp, wanting a reduction. The crusade against this seems not to have borne fruit in the minus of the members of the legislature, for the tax bill before that body proposes the stamping of all notes by the tax receiver. If this bill passes, the govenor should veto it. The name of Mr. J. A. G. Carson was spoken of as a candidate for the mayoralty. Mr. Carson nipped it in the bud by pointedly refusing the use of his name. Mr. Carson is a citizen whom we all are proud and the colored citizens have highest record for Assam. the board of aldermen, and we watched his able deeds, recommended his actions. Savannah a good citizen would feel at ease, that his business would become One of the main things for our people to learn is to stop patronizing those merchants that show no appreciation of their patronage, and especially those who have discriminating rules in their places of business. Just as long as we continue to patronize such places just so long will those merchants continue their discriminating rules, feeling that they are justified because the colored patrons show no resentment whatever. For instance, there are drug stores in the city, the proprietors of which cater to the colored people. They can go to these places and make all of their purchases, but if they feel dry and desire to quench their thirst at the soda water fountain they would be refused. In just such places some of our people seem to take an especial delight to spend their money. There is a "palace of sweets" on Bull street. Everything therein looks tempting. Colored customers are served with anything they can take off in a package; after that they are not wanted. They can not sit at the tables and be served with ice cream, soda water and the like. The manner in which colored customers are appreciated at this place was shown on Saturday, night last: Passers by were attracted to one of the windows. For a time a goodly number were standing there. In the crowd were two colored men. A policeman was near by and seen conversing with the proprietor, and who directly went and picked the two colored men out of the crowd and compelled them to leave. The whites were not molested at all. Despite this fact and the discrimination on the inside, some of our shallow headed people will continue to make purchases therefrom. College Dots. Mr. Curtright the principal of the Greenesboro (Ga.) Institute school visited the College last week and spoke to the students at the Chapel services. He "lifted" a penny collection for his young school. A sub-committee of the educational committee of the Ga. legislature visited the College last Saturday and carefully inspected it. They carried away a favorable impression which will give birth to some legislation on the College's behalf. Frank T. White of Augusta fell dead Monday afternoon. He was a member of the first year Normal class. The College mourns with his parents. His body was carried to Augusta by William Patterson one of his class-mates and fellow towns man. President Wright and Vice-President Suggs are to speak during the the holidays at Claflin University. Mr. Hunton, one of the general secretaries of the International Y. M. C. A. is expected this week. We are always glad to welcome Secretary Hunton in our midst. Secretary Howard of the local association reports that this is the best year in its history. Instructor Golden is the crack turkey shooter hereabouts. He has already two fat turkey gobblers to his credit and he is still shooting. The three literary societies are going to prepare an emancipation exercise for Jan. 1st, at 3 p. m. in Meldrum auditorium. Instructor Pearson "pulled off" his second monthly rhetoricals last Friday. It appears that Instructors Himes and Thompson have about decided to become Benedicts at the first opportunity. Look out girls. Made a Hit. Said Pasha, the comic Opera, presented two nights during the bazaar of nations at the Fords Opera house, given by St. Paul C. M. E. church, made quite a hit. Our Dr. J. Walter Williams who had in charge the company, deserves much credit for the successful rendition of the play. The cast of characters was as follows: Said Pasha, a Turkish diplomat, Dr. Williams; Hasson Bey, chief of the guard, Mr. John Bruce; Terano, a Mexican nobleman Mr. W. Henry Howze; Hadad and Nockey, two adventurers, Mr. Joe Carter and Mr. Will Smith; Troubedad, an officer of the guard, Mr. Chas. Green; Soldiers, Messrs: Riley, Rhett, Hamilton and Doreye; Wives; Mrs M. E. Dukes, Misses H Lewis, M. E. Andrews, Emily Davis, Anna Smith, Emma Shines, Lucinda Walker, Ruth Price and Charity Jackson; Serena, Pasha's daughter, Miss Ella Davis, was duplicated the last night by Miss Daisy Robinson, on account of the illness of Miss Davis. The company will present at an early date "The Pirates of Penzance" To the Public. I am now associated as a partner in the Troy Steam Laundry on Herndon (formerly Hall) street No. 527, and I still solicit the good regards and work of my old patrons, and I would be pleased and gratified the patronage of new friends.

EDITOR TRIBUNE: Please allow me space in your valuable organ to express some of the features of the legislature at present. We called an interesting race meeting, composed of the best brain of the city, and myself being in that meeting, to frame a memorial to the general assembly on the "Bell Bill." We were successful in giving them figures and facts; also to show the room of a sentiment being made to antagonize the race by passing such a bill. I think we checked the sentiment that was so bitterly advocated by the author of the bill. We have several other bills that seem to bring great discussion; some of them of great interest, others of no interest at all, in my judgment. I have the colored troops of Georgia at stakes, therefore I have offered an amendment to increase the colored military forces from 7 to 12. We are loyal to the services of the state and truly so far have not made any more military failures than any other race in the United States, therefore to increase our forces will add credit to the state and its common people to promote the common wealth and protection of our state and country. I feel very grateful of having the honor of being your humble servant, H. F. McKay. House of Representative. Disrespectful Mortorman. It is reported that a very unpleasant affair took place Wednesday, on one of the Thunderbolt cars upon which were many students from the college, among whom were females. The motorman of the car cursed and upon being remonstrated with, created a scene, the result of which was the arrest of two of the students. The case against them was called on Thursday morning in the mayor's court. 'One of them was discharged and the other held. The young student who remonstrated with the disrespectful motorman for cursing in the presence of females, is to be commended. The patrons of the college very necessarily use this line of cars for transportation and thereby the company is being benefitted. THE TRIBUNE is aware of the fact that it is the purpose of the management to have servants that will treat all classes of patrons with due respect. In behalf of the patrons of the road THE TRIBUNE feel that it would subserve to the benefit of all concerned by the removal of this offensive motorman and conductor too. The attention of Supt. Lofton is therefore called to it, and we do hope that he will take immediate cognizance of this affair and acquiesce in the request of the patrons of the road. Neuralgic Persons and those troubled with nervousness resulting from care or as work will be relieved by taking Brown's Iron-Bitters. Generously has trade mark and crossed red lines on wristbands. "Our hearts are usually very much larger at Christmas than our purse" writes Edward Bok of "The Christmas that remains," in the December Ladies' Home Journal. The desire is to remember everybody that we know. But our means do not generally allow us to do it. So we often pass entirely by at Christmas people to whom a simple "Merry Christmas" and nothing more, would mean a world of cheer and light-heartedness. Because we cannot give what we like to we think that we should not give at all. The truth is, whether we choose to acknowledge it in so many words or not, that we have grown so commercially and so artificially minded in this country that thousands of us are prone to measure our Christmas presents by the yardstick of intrinsic value, or by what the recipients will think of them. We seem to have entirely lost sight of the fact that we can always give something. And if we gave that something we would really come closer to the real spirit of Christmas giving. A few cheerful words filled with that expression of strong good will, that is liked sweet perfume, have a meaning that only a few realize. There is nothing so pleasant in this world as the feeling that one is remembered, and this a few written words will often convey more strongly than a gift. Yet we invariably put the gift first. Our remembrances must take some form, we think, other than a mere verbal or written expression. And that is the artificial within us, not the natural. We seem to refuse to believe that it is the simplest things we do that have the greatest influence. It is the simplest Christmas that remains." G. U. O. of O. F. Items.

A delightful feast of melody and mirth may be confidently anticipated at the performance of “Black Patti’s ‘Troubadours”. ‘his mammoth or- ganization is credited with giving an entertainment which never fails to excite genuine enthusiasm. There are fifty artists in the company and many of them have a reputation which is familiar in crery city where there isa theatre. Black Patti, the star of the combination has won fame and high ies honors through her incomparable singing in every part of the civilized world, Her recent tour of Europe was a continuous series of grand public ovationg It is esid that no singer of the present generation attracted such immense throngs as those which attended her performance in Su. Petersburg, Berlin, Paris, Vienna and London. In the latter city, she not only received the tributes of the thaases, but rope paid her honor through the Prince of Wales, who bestowed upon her his distinguished patronage. ‘This company will appear at the Savannah theatre Thursday night Dec. 20th, é ‘The entire balcony will be reserv- ed for its,colored - patrons. ;Sale of seats beging:Tuesday morning at 9, oclock.

Battalion held.a meeting on Monday night last at Te Tripene office Important communications relative to the standing of the battalion were read, and Col. Deyeaux gave an ac: count of his efforts for the better rec- ‘ognition of the colored military of the state. This was received with hearty applause by the officers. Heretofore, or at present, when- ever a colored officer reigns or is otherwise honorably discharged from the state service, he is not placed on the retired roll as_is done with the white officers. While in Atlanta, Gol. Deveaux consulted the governor, the adjutant general and the inspec- tor general and they heartily ap- proved « bil], drawn up by Col. De- eaux, and which was presented in the legislature to remedy this. Since the re-organization the rank of the commander of the battalion was re- duced.

Indeed, the liqueur-glasses may be asodd and fan- tastic a3 tho hostess desires, but care must be taken not to provide the tiny ones from which it fs so inconvenieyg to drink—Harper's Bazar. # ‘The Care of Brass Bedeteads. Old fashioned people who see the brilliant brass bedsteads and other brass furniture of the day, which re- quiré no polish of rottenstone and chamois skin to keep them polished, are astonished until they learn that this ls due to the surface of the metal being covered with lacquer, which keeps it from tarnishing. The secret of this lacquer we learned from the Orientals, and the English feem to have learned it better than we did. At all events, the lacquer on English brass bedsteads lasts much longer than that on American bedsteads. [Thi lacquered surfaco requires some care. It should not be zeratched, and in damp weather it should be wiped off with a chamols or dry flannel duster, as dampness {Is al- ways injurious to lacquer. It is need- Tess to say it should never be touched with a damp cloth. \When brass fur- niture is moved It should be very care> tully covered with cheesecloth or some soft cloths, as a lacquered surface of metal {s as delicate as one of polished wood, and as easily injured by being scratched. Lamps when lacquered f00n become defaced and must be re- lacquered. This is because of the heat of the Hght. The re-lacquerlgg of such small pleces does not cost much. Fine sets of brass which are continually subject to heat must be scoured with rottenstone and chamols skin Jn tho painstaking old fasblgned way, as these pieces will not bear lacquering any length of time, ey ou SEHeLD™~ —& RECIPES: Twin-Mountain Mufins—Cream one- third of a cupful of butter; add grad- ually one-fourth of a cupful cf sugar and one-fourth of a teaspcontul of salt; add ono egg beaten light, three-fourths of a cupful of milk, two cupfuls of sift. ed flour and four level teaspoontuls of baking powder.

In a recent lecture Dr. McFarlane of the University of Pennsylvanta gave the following facts regarding thc culture of ferns: The two types of ferns that can be ralsed successfully are the hardy and the hothouse varle- tles, ‘The former are the more difficult ‘on account of the hot, dry atmosphere of most houses. Ferns need an écea- sional freezing, and do best wher grown under the shade of trees oi bushes. Much moisture must-be al- lowed them If they are kept in a warm reom. All fern growers should first consid- er the natural conditions under which ‘the plants grow, and try to reproduce ‘the same in transplanting them; in the cases of those ferns that live in the rocks, ete, of course this 1s Im- possible. Of the-hothouse ferns the following types are best adapted to indoor con- ditions: Asplenium (spleenwort), Ad!- antum (maidenhalr), Pteris (brocken) and Nephrolepis (Baston fern). ‘The lecturer stated that, with the exeeption of the matdenhair, which re- quires a heavier, richer loam, the soll fn which ferns are planted shovld be a mixture of one-third sand, one- quarter Abrous peat, one-half of brok- en manure sod and one-quarter to one-sixth of leat mould, The fatter should be taken from the tvoods, and tts principal Ingredient should be the decay of léaves. If sifted before it {3 used Its yalue will be Increased. Peat, which is scarce in ‘many places, may be replaced with particles from sandstone blocks or mlcaceous rocks. These will keep the soil open at the roots. Always place a large plece of broken pot, curved side up, oyer the hole in the bottom of the pot in order to allow free drainage. Over this put broken bits about an Inch deep, then fill in with prepared soil. The wide, flat pot Is the best for the purpose, as {t allows room for the roots to spread and also for creeping stems, To overcome the dryness of air In the average house, place water baths near the heaters. The resulting motst- ure will "be beneficial to human be- Ings as well as to the plants. If sub- Jected to a dry atmosphere, water the ferns well every day and occasionally plunge the pot in water up to the leaves, Once in a while sprinkle with & watering pot—New York. Tribune.
