A GREAT FUNERAL PAGEANT The Body of Dead Queen Escorted Through London Streets. 4711 Cures in 3 Days. 500 and $1.00 Bottles, Livingston's Drug Store, Bull and Congress. Published by The TRIBUNE PUBLISHING COMPANY VOL. XVI. MILLIONS PAY A LAST TRIBUTE Route From Portsmouth to Windsor Was Lined With Mass of Sorrowing Mourners. With every circumstance of splendid pomp befitting the obsequies of so beloved a monarch, all that is mortal of Queen Victoria was borne through the streets of London Saturday, and started toward the ancient fortress palace of the sovereigns of England. Perhaps the stately grandeur of the day's sorrowful pageant through the swarming streets of London, with hundreds of thousands of mourners forming a black border to the route, will never be surpassed. Friday the family, friends and tenant pay their last tribute to Queen Victoria at Cowes, and the navy paid its last tribute on the Solent. Saturday the nation was crowding the capital, and tendering, with an enormous popular demonstration, its farewell to their beloved monarch. ¶ A drenched rain was falling when, at 8:30 o'clock a. m. the royal mourners disembarked at the Clarence yard, Portsmouth, where lay the royal yacht, "Alberta," with the coffin on its deck, and where a marine guard had watched all night. The sailors bore the body ashore and placed the coffin in the royal saloon of a special train, while all the ships stretching away to Cowes, fired minute guns. Their captains and chief, officers were present at the dock and bade a last farewell. The train started at once for London. The firing of the minute guns and the tolling of bells at 11:15 announced to the countless multitude who had been crowding London's muddy streets since daylight that the funeral procession with the body of Queen Victoria had begun its passage through the capital. The people fought for hours for a glimpse of the coffin and the kings and others following it. They saw a long procession of soldiers, a passing show of dazzling regalia, with a hundred royalties crowding after them. The day was somber, wet and chilly, as are most of London's winter days. The cloudy sky added to the gloom of the whole city. The gun carriage bearing the coffin, drawn by cream colored horses, was accompanied by officers as outriders, and behind, all mounted, came the most remarkable guard of honor that has ever been seen in modern times. It consisted of King Edward, Duke of Connaught, and Kaiser William, riding abreast, and behind them came a few titled attendants, more "gold sticks," and then King Carlos of Portugal, King George of Greece and King Leopold of Belgium. The latter, being feeble, rode in a carriage. The whole royal company of forty, all riding, consisted of three kings, one emperor and the crown princes of Roumania, Sweden, Germany, Denmark, Siam and Greece; the Duke of Aosta, heir presumptive of the Italian throne; Archduke Francis Ferdinand, of Australia, and Grand Duke Michael of Russia. The remainder was made up of German and English princes. Following this came a cortege of mounted royalty and six carriages bearing Queen Alexandria, princesses and King Leopold. The crowd fairly gasped at the splendor of the show, though throughout the passing of the procession they remained silent and stood with bared heads. Never in English history has a sovereign been borne to the grave attended by so many distinguished mourners. The gathering of crowned heads surpassed those who rode in the jubilee procession. All the great officers of state participated. The display of the naval and military forces reached the great total of 25,000 men. The funeral train arrived at Windsor at 2:15 o'clock and the coffin was immediately transferred to another gun carriage and escorted to Royal Chapel, where the distinguished congregation was waiting. The whole interior of the chapel had been draped with purple hangings, making a fine effect. Mendelssohn's funeral march was rendered as the body was borne in. Then followed the ordinary burial service of the Church of England, with the opening sentences chanted. The psalms, "Lord, thou has been a refuge" and "Man that is born of a woman," were chanted. The anthem, "How blest are they thus chosen," was sung. Archbishop of Canterbury then pronounced the benediction. After the service the lord steward and the lord chamberlain broke their wands and laid them on the coffin, which was then carried into the Albert memorial chapel, the family only following. The queen's body lay in Albert chapel at Windsor, guarded faithfully, awaiting the last rites of interment at Frogmore Monday afternoon. The officials of the royal household at Windsor castle visited the chapel Sunday, as well as a number of friends, and admired the great display of wreaths covering the coffin. INCIDENTS OF THE DAY. An incident that caused much excitement and regret occurred during the progress of the funeral procession at Windsor. The horses attached to the gun carriage became restive kicked over the traces and nearly overturned the gun carriage with the coffin. The animals were quickly removed and 100 sailors, drawing the carriage by a long rope, completed the journey. The incident delayed the procession about one-half hour. Another incident was the sudden death of an on-looker who proved to be a retired army officer. The directors of the Northeastern Railway System of England ordered that at 2:30 p. m., the hour appointed for the funeral at Windsor, all trains be brought to a standstill and every servant of the company remain motionless for ten minutes. The London hospitals cared for 1,300 persons who were injured in the crowd. Of this number, however, only sixty were seriously hurt, including several policemen and soldiers and a number of women suffering from broken limbs. One well dressed woman fell down in the street and was picked up dead, the excitement having killed her before she had the opportunity to see the pagan. Already the political phases of the occasion are being discussed. The remarkable prominence of Germans and German influence is noteworthy. Emperor William's officers, soldiers and sailors were more conspicuous in all the ceremonies than were those of all other nations together. This has had the effect of popularizing Germany with the people, who recently regarded her as their most menacing enemy. MOURNING AT WASHINGTON. Impressive Memorial Services Held In Honor of Dead Queen. In the presence of a distinguished assemblage, including the president of the United States and his entire cabinet, impressive tribute was rendered to England's dead queen at Washington Saturday. The ceremony occurred at St. John's Episcopal church, beginning at 11 o'clock, and was distinctly official in character. The British ambassador, Lord Pauncefote, had been directed by the London foreign office to bestow this last mark of respect to the dead sovereign, and the time was chosen so as to correspond exactly with the solemn pageant in London as the mother of rulers was borne to Windsor. SURPRISED BY FILIPINOS. Five Americans Killed, Four Wounded And Two Are Missing. A Manila dispatch says: Lieutenant Hicken and a detachment of thirty of Company M. Forty-fourth Regiment, while crossing a river Tuesday night, February 29th, were surprised by insurgents gathered at Fiesta San Lucia, Island of Cebu. They were attacked in front and on both flanks by a hundred rifles and more bolzen. Five Americans were killed, four were wounded and two are missing. The insurgents loss is believed to have been heavy. Captain Malley, with a detachment, reinforced Lieutenant Hicken. They recovered some bodies which were mutilated. Additional detachments were sent and are endeavoring to surround the insurgents. GOVERNOR IS CRITICIZED. Mississippi Officals.Scored For Compromising With Gibson. The action of the Mississippi state officials in compromising the Gibson alleged bribery case is being made the subject of some very severe criticisms by the state press. With but few exceptions every newspaper in the commonwealth voices the opinion that Governor Longino and the officials who were associated with him in the prosecution of the prisoner made a very grave mistake and that the result reached by no means redound to their credit. Hill Not a Candidate The announcement that Senator Hill is not a candidate for the presidential nomination of his party in 1904 is made by the Albany correspondent of Leslie's Weekly in the current number.

The Death Penalty Is Stubbornly Fought By Prince Ching and Earl Li Hung Chang. A special from Pekin says: The Chinese plenipotentiaries, Prince Ching and Li Hung Chang, had a protracted meeting Tuesday morning with the foreign envoys. Twelve names of prominent Chinese officials were submitted with the request that China keep faith with the powers and punish the persons named commensurately with their offenses. The Chinese plenipotentiaries replied that China's earnest hope was to carry out fully the demands of the powers and that she felt sure the punishment which would be inflicted would be satisfactory. It was discovered that two out of twelve of the persons named were already dead. In certain cases the Chinese plenipotentiaries gave reasons why the punishment inflicted should be banishment and not death, asserting that, in these cases, they particularly desired banishment because the persons in question were so closely related to the throne. After a long conversation on the subject of punishment it was decided that the foreign envoys should draw up a full list of all accused officials, both national and provincial, with indications specifying the guilt of each and a statement of the punishment required, which would then be presented to the Chinese plenipotentiaries for definite action. Li Hung Chang, who is very weak from his recent illness, had to be carried in and out of the British legation. He is unable to walk, but his head seems as clear as ever. The foreign envoys were impressed with the evident desire of both Prince Ching and Li Hung Chang to come to terms. Prince Ching asked whether, provided China showed by every means in her power a desire to carry out the terms of the joint note, the foreign troops would leave Pekin. The foreign envoys replied that this was a subject they could not discuss beyond saying that. if everything were satisfactory, they believe the powers would begin to withdraw the troops early in the coming spring, but this depends largely upon the Chinese themselves. Prince Ching and Li Hung Chang said they desired to know the names of the places where guards would be kept for the purpose of maintaining communication with the sea, in accordance with the terms of the joint note. They were informed that this was a subject regarding which the military authorities had more accurate knowledge than the envoys, but that at present no determination had been reached. Prince Ching was anxious to know what provision would be made to control the legation guards and to prevent them from disturbing business. He asked if the guards would be allowed over all parts of the city. To this inquiry the reply was given that the guards would not certainly be allowed to interfere with any vocation of the Chinese, but would be merely kept to guard the legations in case of necessity. Prince Ching was assured that in whatever part of the city the legation guards might go they would be required to conform to laws which would be agreed upon under pain of severe punishment for any infraction. The Chinese plenipotentiaries asked if it would be necessary to destroy the forts. As there seemed to be some diversity of opinion among the foreign envoys regarding this matter, it was left over until the question of punishment has been definitely decided. Two Die In Hotel Fire. Two persons perished and three were fatally injured in a fire which totally destroyed the Exposition hotel in Binghamton, N. Y., Tuesday. SECRETARY ROOT EXPLAINS. Tell Senate Why MacArthur Deported Filipino Leader to Guam. Secretary Root has answered the senate resolution calling for a statement as to why the Filipino leader, Mabini, had been deported to Guam. "A. Mabini, the person referred to," Secretary Root says, "is a prisoner of war, captured by the military forces of the United States on December 10th, 1899. While such prisoner he was found to be maintaining correspondence with insurgents engaged in armed resistance to the authority of the United States, and his place of confinement has been changed from Manila to the Island of Guam." Exercises at Capitol In Memory Of the Great Jurist ONE HUNDREDTH ANNIVERSARY Whole Country Gives Praise to One Who Only Sought Truth and the Right. A Washington special says: John Marshall, of Virginia, was installed as chief justice of the United States one hundred years ago last Monday, and at 10 o'clock on the morning of that day the centennial anniversary of that occasion was celebrated with impressive ceremonies in the hall of the house of representatives at the capital. The program arranged by the joint committee of congress and William Wirt Howe, of New Orleans, president of the American Bar Association, was simple and dignified, as became the life of the great jurist. The president and his cabinet, the members of the supreme court, the members of the senate and house, the diplomatic corps and members of the district bar association attended as invited guests. Many other distinguished persons were in the galleries, which were reserved for those holding cards of admission. Although the various official bodies entered the hall together, they were not announced as on formal occasions. President McKinley and the members of the cabinet were the last to arrive. The entire assemblage rose and remained standing until they had seated themselves. Representative Dalzell, of Pennsylvania, called the assemblage to order. He stated briefly the action of congress in providing for the ceremonies and the selection of Chief Justice Fuller as presiding officer. The chief justice, in his official robes, was escorted to the chair by Representatives Grosvenor, of Ohio, and Richardson, of Tennessee. Rev. Dr. William Strother Jones, of Trenton, N. J., a great grandson of John Marshall, invoked the divine blessing. Then the chief justice introduced Hon. Wayne MacVeangh, who delivered the oration, an eloquent tribute to the memory of John Marshall, which evoked hearty applause from the assemblage. The chief justice of the supreme court, Mr. Fuller, then addressed the assemblage. Chief Justice Fuller's address was devoted almost entirely to the consideration of his predecessor's career as an expounder of the federal constitution. Mr. McVeigh spoke for two hours and closed his oration with a thrust at imperialism. He reviewed Marshall's thirty-five years as chief justice, the great epoch making decisions in which he participated; his tremendous influence in the settlement of the great constitutional controversies, and concluded in part as follows: "Although many good and thoughtful people are just now greatly troubled at what seems to them an evil promise of the future, as American lawyers we must never for a moment, in dark days or in bright, despair of the republic. Differences of opinion may well exist as to the best methods of discharging the grave and serious duties unexpectedly devolved upon us by a war begun with the noble object of helping a struggling people to secure their independence, but let us trust that, however we may differ as to the methods, we all believe that the true glory of America and her true mission in the new century as in the old. "When we come at last to believe that the true mission of nations as of men is to promote righteousness on earth; that conferring liberty is wiser than making gain; that new friends are better for us than new markets; that love is more elevating than hatred; that peace is nobler than war; that the humblest human life is sacred; that the humblest human right should be respected—then our own beloved country can worthily discharge the sacred mission confined to her and by her true dignity and grandeur, setting her feet, upon the shining pathway which leads to the sunlit 'summits of the olive mountains, and taking abundant care that every human creature beneath her starry flag, of every color and condition, is as secure of liberty, of justice and of peace as in the republic of God." "In cherishing these aspirations and in striving to realize them we are wholly in the spirit of the great chief justice, and we can in no other way so effectually honor his memory as by laboring, in season and out of season, to make this whole continent of America one vast and splendid monument, not of oppression and terror, but of wisdom, of peace and of liberty, on which men may gaze with admiration forever."

SCENE OF GRANDEST SIMPLICITY Amidst Rattle of Minute Guns Great Pageant Leaves Cowes For Portsmouth Harbor. The body of Queen Victoria was borne Friday afternoon from its quiet resting place in Osborne house to Portsmouth, the heart of England's navy. The half hundred fighting ships fired their broadsides and minute guns and over the still waters, between the roll of the six-pounders, came strains of Chopin and Beethoven's funeral marches. The crews stood silently along the decks, and the flags, drooped half way down the halvards. Half a million of the late Queen Victoria's devoted subjects lining the shores of the Solent witnessed a majestic and an awake-inspiring pageant and bade a last farewell to their beloved ruler. All who witnessed the function testify to the profound emotion it inspired and agree that the spectacle not have been surpassed The whole scene city, and, so concerned, session glided and precision hidden pow- ind occurred The weather's weather."

Three special trains took down the members of the house of lords and the house of commons, the diplomats and other officials and the correspondents from the Victoria station to Portsmouth in the early morning. The fleet stretched from Portsmouth to Cowes, the turrets of Osborne standing above the purple hills. The pathway between the warships was a quarter of a mile wide avenue of clear water. Queen's weather came at noon in a burst of sunshine. Shortly before 3 o'clock a puff of smoke broke from the Majestic's side and a second later a report cracked over the harbor announcing the startling of the Alberta from Trinity pier. From ship to ship the salute was passed down the line. Each vessel of the fleet was firing minute guns. They all employed their short side batteries, so on the channel sides were silhouettes of hulls, spars and iron work, before the backgrounds of dense, gray smoke. The sound was that of a great battle. The band of each ship took up the funeral march when the Alberta came abreast of her, and the spectators on all the other craft took off their hats. So, with all eyes focussed on the tiny-looking; purple bier, the remains of Queen Victoria were carried by. Following the Alberta trailed along five other yachts, the Victoria and Alberta carrying the royal mourners. Emperor William's yacht, Hohenzollern, large as a warship, and spoiled white; the Osborne, the admiralty yacht Enchantress and a little Trinity house yacht. Gradually the din of the minute guns lessened as the batteries of ship after ship ceased firing, while the funeral parade swept around the end of the line and into the entrance of Portsmouth harbor. When the Alberta entered with the minute guns in the forts sounding, the bells of all the churches in the city tolling, the ancient frigate Victory moored there, fired a salute of muzzle loaders. The Alberta was moored at 4:40 p. m. for the night. The crowd in Portsmouth was estimated at 100,000. Every town along the channel contributed its quota and the railway companies were helpless before the rush of people going home after the parade. Thousands crawled into the stations and literally fought their way into the trains. The special cars were at their mercy. Foreign officers, diplomats and members of parliament mixed in the rush and took their chances with the mob. The cars going toward London were packed to suffocation by all classes of people. NO 18. The decision of the Queen's Bench Court, declaring it to be illegal for the London School Board to spend the ratepayers' money for teaching science and art at evening classes for adults, has created perturbation. Some ninety thousand pupils are affected, and the whole of London's educational system must be reversed. If the House of Lords upholds the verdict. The Speaker declares it is the most serious disaster which has befallen education for some time. Columns of comment appear on the subject in the metropolitan dailies. Other large cities are seriously concerned, as they all have classes similar to those of London. The head masters of expensive schools appear to approve of the decision, maintaining that the School Board is endangering the existence of the secondary schools.

Advertising rates given on application. SATURDAY FEBRUARY 9, 1901. The manner in which many of our young boys and girls act on the streets, has a great deal to do, with the contempt in which we are held by the opposite race. ALONG certain lines our people of this city are too conservative entirely. We need to become more public spirited and foster movements that will redound to the benefit of all concerned. A COLORED man with property and standing in a community is not looked upon disdainfully by the whites. Let his number increase, and in proportion all that affects his progress will diminish. OUR young; boys and girls look for higher, ideals in those who are called leaders among both sex. If these leaders prove to be false, right then the ideals of the younger; Jones are shattered, and what can we expect out of them? We have much cause to complain about the treatment accorded us by those in power, but that treatment should not cause us to become indifferent, and careless to our own welfare. It should only spur us on to better, things. Our colleges and other institutions of learning are turning out boys and girls in whom our hopes are centered. Should we not make preparation in a solid form for these boys and girls to meet the stearner realities of life? How can this be done? Let us establish business enterprises into which they can be employed and which will enable them to secure a better chance in life and be a stepping stone for them to branch out for themselves. THE Colored American Magazine published at Boston, Mass, by the Colored Co-Operation Publishing Company, is one of the race's best publications. It abounds with good and wholesome reading. It treat upon the questions that effect us more. It is well-edited and printed and should be in the home of every colored family. Mr John W Armstrong is the agent here and those desiring copies should call on him. The price is 15 cents a copy or $1.50 per year. We need an unselfish leadership. It is necessary for our men and women who are prominent in the s-veral callings of life to be unselfish, and be ever ready and willing to assist in anything that would benefit the race. Nothing retards a community more than having men or women who are pessimistic in their ideas and who stand aloft from the masses, and will in no way, give a helping hand. If we want to become a great people, if we want our community to be built up, we must be void of selfishness. We have been informed that the Douglass Lyceum will have its regular meetings again. This is as it should be. Our young people should have some literary feast and not devote themselves wholly to dancing and singing "ragtime". It is hoped that when these meetings commence that the attendance will be large and that the promoters will be encouraged in their efforts. Besides the younger people, those of us who are anxious for their welfare should give the meetings aid and assist in making it of great good to the city. THIS Sudden death of Capt James J McGowan on Wednesday night was at great shock to all the people of Savannah as it was known that he was sick by but a few friends. Capt McGowan had endeared himself with all class^a of people who had dealings in the tax collector's office, as he was most patient, kind and courteous to all having business with him. He has been tax collector over a third of a century, and was a most faithful and upright official. He will be greatly missed by the tax paying people of Chatham County. The testimonial given Rev and Mrs J H H Sengstacke on Monday evening last by his neighbors, on the event of the birthday of them both, was a great one. Those who were in the party composed all the denominations in the community, and their action was of an unselfish nature, and shows that they truly appreciate the long and faithful service rendered by this noble couple. For twenty-six years Rev and Mrs Sengstacke labored among these people; their lives were of an exemplary kind; they have reared a family that one can boast and feel proud. The Tribune and the friends of the happy couple wish for them many years of unalloyed happiness. SAVANNAHIANS have been blessed recently by hearing helpful addresses from four very able men: Dr. Melden of Clark University, on "Higher Ideals"; Dr Bumstead of the Atlanta University, along educational lines; Rev. Carter of the Epworth League, on young people's work, and the last, but not the least, the address of Rev. Maxwell on the "Educational System of Georgia," and too we must not forget the address of Lawyer Tucker. Each one of these addresses was able and delivered in a convincing style. Much thinking has been done on each line of the addresses, and they have left a void for more. Information was received from these addresses that is of vast benefit to us as a race, especially that of Mr Maxwell's. He has caused the eyes of many to open and given an impetus that will be far reaching. Such addresses as these are what our people need. They want information and some means should be adopted to get it. Our white friends in this city have a lecture bureau, and every year they induce a number of the able lecturers of their race to come and speak to them. If they are in need of information, it should be more so with us. We should have a lecture bureau also, and have the able men of the race, and others too, to speak on those questions that effect us most. It will cost a little to maintain a bureau of this kind, but fie with the cost when the good to be derived is considered. If it was not for the fact that the Rev. Mr. Maxwell was truly interested in the subject he spoke on and is desirous of spreading the information, we would not have known about the good things he spoke on on Tuesday. Let immediate steps be taken in this line and come.

It very seldom occurs that a person gets two surprise parties in succession so near each other as the two that occurred at the Congregational parsonage, Jan 28th, and Feb 4th. The first one was of a very quiet nature, but the second one frightened both the pastor and his wife who had retired. The Sengstacke daughters knew of their coming and advised father and mother to retire early, while they themselves went into their rooms and pretended to sleep. Representatives of all the denominations and of those who are not converted represented the citizen as a committee. During the twenty six years of service here as a teacher, the pastor had many surprises from the members and friends of his church, but this one was best of all as it represented all the people. Besides bringing along with them extra music also they brought an extra supply for the entertainment, and besides filled the pantry with food of all kinds to supply his table for a long season. The occasion was the fifty third birth-day of the pastor and also his wife. Among the guests were Messrs J W Ferguson, A W West, R N Brown, Decon J D King, Misses Sarah, Phoebe and Lottie Haywood. Eva Plant, Mesdames, West, King, Harden, Rivers, and Deaconess Mrs Simmons and son. Mr and Mrs A Harris were not present but sent two valuable presents. Woodville is very likely to become an incorporated town with a Negro mayor, in the near future, if Savannah does not swallow us up on her weatward march. The Sengstacke Band of Hope Society will celebrate Lincoln Memorial Sunday at the Congregational Church of Woodville Feb 10th at 8 p.m. President A W West will conduct the exercises. Friends from the city take West End car from City market. SAVANNAH.

The several bodies of the Baptist church of this state, along with the whites, were represented in a council last week in Atlanta, to endeavor to settle the differences among the colored Baptists of the state. This difference has been in effect several years, and it was landy on the part of these bodies to endeavor to have these differences amicably settled. For some reason a full settlement could not be had, but those most interested state that a full settlement is expected at the next conference which may be held in the near future. The announcement of the death of Hon J F Long at Macon, was received by his friends throughout the State with the most profound regret. Mr Long was one of the earliest leaders of the Republican party in Georgia, and was the only colored man ever elected to Congress from this State. He was a powerful orator and exercised great influence in the Republican party during the reconstruction period. The deceased leaves a widow and several children one of whom is Mrs II A Rucker of Atlanta, who have the sympathy of many friends in Georgia in their bereavement. College Dots. Instructor Thompson's smile expands as the dormitory goes higher. He is now on the third and last story. There are other things too that tend to make him smile. Mr. Richings gave an illustrated lecture on the Negro's progress, in Meldrum auditorium on Thursday. It was inspiring and instructive. The run of mumps and la-gripppe has about spent its force upon us. By the aid of Dr. Lloyd, Vice Pres Suggs (himself a quick doctor.) and Miss Jackson, there have been no casualities other than a few "swelled heads" and the disagreeable sneezer. Instructor Young has organized a wide awake Saturday teacher's club among the teacher students. All teachers or prospective teachers are invited to join. The members of the second normal class have just returned from a trip to the moon, and they have been leading accounts of their marvelous experience in their composition class. The college mourns with Mr Lew- the instructor in tailoring, the loss of his brother. Death loves a shining mark. Our vice-president and our super intendent of industries and normal training seem to be in earnest this time. Friends are on the tip toe of expectation to see who will cross the line first. Plans are being perfected by which a series of popular concerts and lectures will be delivered under the auspices of the college, in Ford's Opera Hous-. Dunbun is to be one of the "stars." Their Third Dance. The third successful dance of the Forest City Soiré Club was given at Morshe's hall Thursday evening of last week. The occasion was made passibly notable by the gathering of splendid people. All the dances were indulged in, until about 12 o'clock at night, when an intermission was bad. The guests then partook of the palatable edibles that were so well provided by the management in quantum sufficient to suit the most scrupulous appetite; after which dancing was resumed until the ama hours. Home, sweet home was played and the reluctant dancers wended their respective ways either uttering or with feeling skim dum vivimus vivamus. Those in attendance were: Mr and Mrs L G Middleton, Mr and Mrs J W Habersham, Mr and Mrs M R Miller, Mr and Mrs Clarence Jones, Mrs M B Branham, Mjsses Annie Scott, Henrietta Houstoun, Raven Garey, Rosa Ashton, Eureka Jackson, Anna Ranah, Maud Spencer, Mamie Shefial, Messrs Wm King, Walter Scott, Jas Dowse, Jas C Williams, Chas Shefial, Wm Geary, Walter Rannare, Joseph Jackson, Jas Monroe, Robt Spaulding, and Albert Ashton, J Wendel Armstrong, Reporter.

We are sorry to announce the death of Mrs Carrie Pate, the loving wife of Rev William Pate of Walthourville, Ga. She died on Thursday of last week, at the age of sixty-six years. She has been married for thirty-five years. Mrs Pate has been sick for about three months. She was a consistent christian and naturally died fully in the faith she held sacred, and left testimonials that were both encouraging and helpful to all of her friends. The death of this good lady is indeed a blow to her faithful husband, and her relatives and friends. Besides her husband she leaves a brother, two daughters, a son, great many grandchildren and a host of friends to mourn her death. The berecaved family has the sympathy of friends. HEALTH UNDER SOUTHERN SKIES. Cherming Winter Resorts Reached by the Southern Railway. It is not necessary to extend a large amount of money to visit the numerous charming resorts reached by the Southern Railway. Round trip tickets are on sale at reduced rates, and this great steel highway of the South leads to wondrous regions of beauty and health, upon trains that glide as if on the wings of the wind over the smoothest of tracks. The journey is made in luxurious trains embracing all the comforts and conveniences of the finest metropolis hotel. All through trains are composed of the highest type of vestibulated Pullmans and dining cars are operated throughout the year. The resorts of the South are varied in attractions as well as in climatic conditions. Those in robust health, who simply seek a warmer climate where they may escape the rigors of a Northern winter may choose wholly as fancy dictates, Florida. Thomasville, Ga., Augusta Ga., Aiken S C Summerville, S C. Pinehurst N. C are deightiful places to visit during the winter months. "The Land of the Sky" has an ideal winter climate. Of this section Aphrodite is the center, but by no means the only desirable place. There are a score of others, such as Saluda, Skwaka, Trion, Fiat Rock, Sapphire Waynesville, Hendersonville, Syracuse and Hot Springs. The winter temperature is almost identical with that of Southern France and Northern Italy. In any one of these excellent accommodations are to be had. The Southern Railway operates the most perfect through service between Philadelphia and Florida, the South and Southwest Any Agent or representative of the Passenger Department, Southern Railway, will be pleased to furnish a copy of the book, "Winter Homes in the South," and all information. Woman Voting. EDITOR TRIBUNE: Sir,—Why woman want to vote is a very appropriate question to ask at this time, especially that she is being discussed on all sides relative to her political and domestic rights. No doubt they take for granted and apply that time-word adage that "If you don't attend to your own business somebody else will." Woman with sufficient instruction for any purpose can readily conceive how utterly worthless a man is to her when he dies not pay his taxes, will hardly pay anything. Every young woman, old woman too for that matter, should challenge her friend's (?) manhood and if found wanting oppose him with all the vehemence that possesses her soul. If he has not a vote he does not come up to his country's requirements as a citizen, and is therefore not her protector and is unworthy of her commissions. A most pitiful sight is a gathering of men discussing politics and cannot vote. The man that has a vote is better fortified to protect his women and children than he who carries a gattling gun. Time was once when the young looked forward to the day when he could poll his vote and be a man in every sense of the word. Of course time and circumstances change many things. But the infrequent activity of some on the one hand is only rivaled by the frequent activity of others now adays on the other hand, and both hands are sisters. This state of affairs is caused many times by mothers who balk and even scoff at politics, linking it with something hideous and advise their boys to steer clear. Young women in the past frowned upon it, when for a fact politics is nothing more or less, according to Webster, than the science of government, which everybody should learn to understand something about. Most of us believe in home as the best place for woman. But marked disapproval has manifested itself in various quarters about the lax activity men are taking in the putting in of men in the legislative halls without due regard for those finer feelings of woman, hence her belligerency. She is hardly blamed for wanting to vote in some states.

Died in Boston. Mr. Richard B Lewis, son of Mr. A C Lewis, died on Monday last in Boston, Mass. Mr. Lewis took sick on Friday of last week; prior to that time he was in good health and at his occupation. All of the attention possible was given him. He had the services of two trained nurses and skilled physicians, notwithstanding all death claimed him on Monday. The cause of his death was indigestion. His father here was immediately notified, and the body shipped, arriving here Wednesday afternoon. Ample notice was given for the funeral, which took place from the residence of Mr Lewis on West Broad street the same afternoon. The home was crowded with the friends of the family to show their last tribute of respect. The services were conducted by Rev John W Whittaker, pastor of the First Congregational Church. Mr Whittaker's remarks were very impressive and pathetic, and in all it was a ceremony that will long be remembered by all who were present. The pall bearers were of the deceased young friends. About three moths ago young Lewis was called home to be at the bedside of a dying mother and was present when her soul was called hence. This fond mother was buried on the 4th of November, and the soul of her son took its flight on the 4th of February. Mr Lewis was a devoted son. He was a favorite of his mother, and loved tenderly by his sisters and brother. Although he has been from home a number of years, he never forgot the parental ties that bound him here, and returned the affection of his parents and sisters even in a substantial manner. He was well-liked by his employers in Boston and also by his fellow-employees. This was attested by the kind attention shown him during his illness and on other occasions. His employers sent a handsome floral offering representing a canopy on a mound, and made of the rarest kind of flowers. There were also other floral offerings. The remains were accompanied to the city by Mr Clarence Lewis. This family deserves and undoubtedly has the sincere sympathy of the entire community in their bereavement. Mid-Winter Bazaar.

WOOLSON SPICE CO., TOLEDO, OHIO. An Owner's Appreciation. A very good story is going the round about the Duke of Devonshire. During his visit to the Paris Exposition the Duke was seen admiring one of the pictures in the British section. He could not be torn away from it. "What an admirable picture," he said. "Excellent!" But some kind official, of course, proceeded to help the duke. Would not his grace like to know the name of the picture? But his grace showed no interest in that. He did not care what was the name of the picture; he was content to admire it. Still the obsequious official hunted the picture up in the catalogue, and insisted upon stating the name. It turned out, as the story runs, to be one of the Duke' of Devonshire's own pictures from Chatsworth.—Manchester Guardian. Super Sights for Astronomers. Querer Sights for Astronomers. Astronomers who watch for sun spots sometimes see queer sights. One such sight has become classical, although astronomers do not seem yet to have arrived at an explanation of it. On September 1, 1859, Mr. Carrington and Mr. Hodgson—the one at Greenwich and the other many miles distant, and both watching sun spots—simultaneously saw two luminous objects, shaped something like two new moons, each about 8,000 miles in length and 2,000 wide, at a distance of some 12,000 miles apart. These, according to an expert description, burst suddenly into sight at the edge of a great sun spot with a dazzling brightness, and then disappeared after travelling a distance of some 30,000 miles.—London Chronicle.

The recent published announcement that a movement had been set on foot to consolidate all the crematories of the United States and Canada into cnu association for the purpose of fixing a uniform price for incineration is not one that those sensitive on the subject of "trusts" need view with alarm. "A crematory trust is impossible," said a person well informed on this somewhat depressing subject, "for the cost of incineration depends entirely on the cost of coal. Coal may be $12 a ton in California and $4 a ton here. It may be almost nothing at all at a place like Fort Wayne, Ind., but they haven't any crematory there. But it would be quite impossible to establish anything like a uniform price." At present the cost of incineration depends somewhat on the circumstances of each case, although in New York the regular price is $55 for adults. There are, however, in connection with most crematories, "relief funds" established by societies or by individual donations, with which the expenses of incineration for those who have expressed a wish that their bodies be thus disposed of after death, but have left no money to provide for it, may be met. The methods in these cases are somewhat similar to those used in hospitals, where a patient pays what he can afford to pay.-New York Sun. The Kind Hearts of the Poor. An incident illustrative of the self-denying spirit on the part of the very poor occurred recently under the observation of the writer. It happened in a street car. A poor, ragged fellow, with a thin and emaciated face, occupied one of the seats, evidently a sufferer from consumption. When the conductor came along for the fares the man fumbled in his pockets for the change, but found only two cents of the necessary five. An excited colloquy ensued with the conductor, who naturally refused to accept the partial payment and insisted upon the whole fare under penalty of ejection from the car. At this juncture a woman sitting by, hardly less poorly clad and sickly-looking than the man himself, seeing the difficulty, hastily drew from her own pocket a solled and ragged handkerchief, from a knotted corner of which she took three cents and passed them over to her distressed fellow-passenger, saying, simply, "There, take that." While others in the car doubtless had their generous impulses stirred by the sight, she, the very poorest of them all, was the quickest to give—Leslie's Weekly.
