MANY SOULS IN BRINY DEEP Published by The TRIBUNE PTBLISHING COMPANY. V I XVI MANY SOULS IN Steamship. City of Strikes Rock. and LOSS OF LIFE IS APPALLING swirl of the Accident Caused By Heavy Fog Consul Wildman and His Family Reported Among A San Francisco special says: The Pacific mail steamer City of Rio de Janeiro ran on a hidden rock while entering the golden gate early Friday morning in a dense fog, and sank in a few minutes. It is thought that nearly 150 persons were drowned, but it is impossible to ascertain the exact number, owing to the fact that Purser John Rooney, who had the passenger list and roster of the crew, is among the missing. At 5 p.m. ten bodies had been recovered, two white women, one white man and seven Chinese. The most prominent passenger was Rounseville Wildman, United States consul at Hong Kong, who was accompanied by his wife and two children. It is thought all were downed. The ship was in command of Pilot Frederick Jordan when she struck. He was rescued. Captain William Ward went down with his vessel. As nearly as can be learned there were 234 people on the Rio Janeiro, as follows: Cabin passengers, 29; second cabin, 7; steerage (Chinese and Japanese) 58; officers and crew, 140; total, 234. The following have been accounted for: Rescued, 79; bodies at the morgue, 10; total, 89; missing, 145. CAUGHT IN A DENSE FOG. The Rio de Janeiro was three days overdue from Hong Kong, via Honolulu, when she arrived off the heads Thursday night and the dense fog prevailed at the time induced Pilot Jordan to bring her to anchor until he could see his way clear through the gateway. She laid to until about 4:30 o'clock, when the atmosphere cleared and she was started under a slow bell toward Point Bonita. All went well until 5:40 o'clock, when she struck. Most of the passengers were below at the time and it is believed many of them were drowned in their berths. ```markdown ``` The first news of the disaster reached the city at 7:30 a.m., and soon afterward a boat load of rescued passengers and petty officers arrived at the mall dock. Tugs were immediately dispatched to render any service that might be needed, but no living persons were afloat when the fugs reached the wreck. A number of drowning people were rescued by Italian fishermen and the bodies of two white women, three Chinese and a Japanese were brought in by the tugs. The search for bodies continued all day. All accounts show that the officers gave the necessary orders with the least possible excitement. Capt. Ward was on deck when the vessel struck and gave orders to the men on watch to hurry the passengers to the forward. At the same time the quartermaster on duty sounded the signal for fire drill and within five minutes all the men were at their stations. There was no way of knowing the extent of the damage to the vessel, as she remained on an even keel for fifteen minutes after striking the rock. But Captain Ward knew the gravest danger threatened the 200 souls in his charge and he gave orders to lower the lifeboats and rafts. There was not much confusion until, fifteen minutes after striking, the bow of the vessel suddenly plunged under water. Then there was a wild rush for the boats. Two boats had already been lowered and others were getting away as rapidly as the trained discipline of the crew could prepare them. A thick fog enveloped everything, and as yet no sign had come from the life-saving stations. Darkness was all about and with this added horror the people on the Bio had to cope. One boat got clear of the vessel without damage. This contained the following persons: Mrs. West, Mrs. Ripley, Chief Engineer Herlihy, Second Officer Coglan, Frank Cramp, J. R. Russell, Storekeeper Borgg, Water Tender D. Lane, Quartermaster R. Mathieson, Captain Hitch, of the German navy. This boat got clear of the sinking vessel and then stood by to help in picking up those who had no time to get into the boats and were in the water. Another boat, containing Third Officer Holland and J. K. Carpenter, got away, but was drifted around close up under the bow of the steamer. As the forward end of the vessel plunged downward the prow caught the small boat and cut it in two. The two men in the boat were uninjured and swam away from the sinking steamer just in time to avoid being caught in the swirl of water caused by the settling of the big ship. Carpenter was picked up by the other boat. The fate of Holland is not known. A number of Italian fishermen who were starting out saw the sinking of the Rio and hastened to give all the assistance in their power. While all this was going on Captain Ward was directing the passengers and trying to keep them from panic. He succeeded only partly, as many of the terrified people rushed to the railing and jumped overboard. Some of these were picked up, others were drowned. The Chinese crew, to the number of over a hundred were terrorized. Some of them huddled in little groups, chattering in fear. Others crouched close to the deck mourning pitifully. Many jumped into the sea. Captain Ward remained on deck until the vessel had settled to such an extent that the water was engulfing him. He then went up the bridge and from there continued to issue his directions. That the steamer sank almost immediately after striking is the report of a majority of those rescued. Some of the passengers say that she instantly listed forward and in five minutes she went down, while others declare that she stayed afloat for half an hour after she struck. There are several conflicting stories concerning the fate of Captain Ward. The steward of the Rio says that he stood beside the captain when the vessel went down. Two other survivors say that they also saw the captain to the last, but Frederick Lindstrom, quartermaster officer of the Rio, emphatically declared that Captain Ward emulated Admiral Trion, of H. M. S. Victoria, in going down to his cabin, where he met his doom behind a locked door. According to his story, Captain Ward, after consulting with Pilot Jordon, came down from the bridge. He was standing on the deck when the vessel crashed upon the rock. There was a cry of "Man the boats," but it was apparent that in the midst of the awful confusion a systematic effort to save the passengers would be of no avail. Everybody was scrambling for his own safety. It was at this time that Lindstrom says he saw Captain Ward standing on the forward deck. Suddenly the captain turned and walked hurriedly to the cabin, disappeared behind the door, which he closed. A second later the vessel was plunging to the bottom of the sea. THE PILOT'S STORY. Captain Frederick W. Jordan, the pilot of the Rio, was rescued by an Italian fishing boat. To the customs officials he told the following story: "We anchored about 5 o'clock last night. The weather was thick, and I left orders that when the weather cleared we should go farther in. "At 5 a. m. the fog lifted. We could see the cliff house and the north end light, and I told the mate to heave short. After we started heaving short the wind came in from the northeast, and the fog settled in thick, and I told the mate to stop heaving. Then the captain came up and said: "Let her go. We can go ahead." "You see, my watch stopped at 5:40. When the vessel struck I ordered all the boats out. The first boat out was half filled with water no sooner than she struck. I got a ladder and placed a woman on it and we began to descend. She had a boy of eight years, whom I held in my arms. The woman and I were about half way down the ladder when the Rio gave a tremendous pitch. I was flung off the ladder. "I saw nothing after that of the woman or the boy. I went down with the ship about fifty feet. I worked my way up to the surface and got hold of some wreckage. I had sense enough left to turn on my back and drift with the wreckage. "Then I came across what seemed to me the top of a house with a Chinaman on it. He helped me to clamber onto the roof, and with him I drifted out toward the north heads. I was then rescued by the fishing boat." PLACED UNDER BONDS. Birdsong Brothers Bound Over to Macon Criminal Court. A Macon, Ga., dispatch says: The two Birdsong brothers, Tom and Dave, who were indicted for arson and perjury, were served with warrants, but they gave bonds in the sum of $1,000 each and were released. They will answer to the next term of the criminal court. Flye Men Hörribly Mangled. Five men were caught on the Pennsylvania railroad bridge at Yongstown, O., Friday morning and killed. They were walking on the track on their way to work at the Sharon Iron furnace and were caught by the southbound freight train. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. MARCH 2. PRESIDENT SATISFIED Cuban Amendment Will Stay an Extra Session of Congress Its Adoption Will Make Cuba the Ward of Uncle Sam--Commit- A Washington Special says: The senate committee on relations with Cuba has agreed to an amendment to the army appropriation bill regarding Cuba. It can be stated on high authority that the amendment is satisfactory to the president and that its adoption by congress will avoid the necessity for an extra session. Its text follows: That in fulfillment of the declaration contained in the joint resolution approved April 20, 1898, entitled "for the recognition of the independence of the people of Cuba, demanding that the government of Spain relinquish its authority and government in the island of Cuba, and to withdraw its land and naval forces from Cuba and Cuban waters, and directing the president of the United States to use the land and naval forces of the United States to carry these resolutions into effect," the president is hereby authorized to leave the government and control of the island of Cuba to its people as soon as a government shall have been established in said island under a constitution which, either as a part thereof or in an ordinance appended thereto, shall define the future relations of the United States with Cuba, substantially as follows: 1. That the government of Cuba shall never enter into any treaty or other compact with any foreign power or powers, which will impair, or tend to impair, the independence of Cuba, nor in any manner authorize or permit any foreign power or powers to obtain by colonization or for military or naval purposes or otherwise, lodgement in or control over any portion of said island. 2. That said government shall not assume or contract any public debt, to pay the interest upon which and to make reasonable sinking fund provision for the ultimate discharge of which the ordinary revenues of the islands after defraying the current expenses of government shall be inadequate. 3. That the government of Cuba consents that the United States may exercise the right to intervene for the preservation of Cuban independence, the maintenance of government adequate for the protection of life, property and individual liberty and for discharging the obligations with respect to Cuba imposed by the treaty of Paris on the United States, now to be assumed and undertaken by the government of Cuba. 4. That all acts in the United States in Cuba, during its military occupancy thereof, are ratified and validated, and all lawful rights acquired thereunder shall be maintained and protected. 5. That the government of Cuba will execute and, as far as necessary, extend the plans already devised or other plans to be mutually agreed upon, for the sanitation of the cities of the island, to the end that a recurrence of epidemic and infectious disease may be prevented, thereby assuring protection to the people and commerce of Cuba, as well as to the commerce of the southern ports of the United States and the people residing therein. 6. That the Isle of Pines shall be omitted from the proposed constitutional boundaries of Cuba, the title thereto being left to the future adjustment by treaty. 7. That to enable the United States to maintain the independence of Cuba and to protect the people thereof, as well as for its own defense, the government of Cuba will sell or lease to to the United States lands necessary for coaling or naval stations at certain specified points, to be agreed upon with the president of the United States. 8. That by way of further assurance the government of Cuba will embody the foregoing provisions in a permanent treaty with the United States. SATISFACTORY TO CONGER. He Notifies State Department of Receipt Of Chinese Edict. Mr. Conger has cabled the state department from Pekin, under date of February 23, as follows: "Satisfactory edict in answer to punishment demands," has been received." From this statement the department assumes that the punishments are to be administered substantially as stated in Mr. Conger's cablegram received on February 21. Minister Conger has not yet informed the state department the date he has selected for his departure from Pekin for home.

"While it is true that these men are selected from a large class of men of very unusual ability, which distinguishes them as perhaps the professional equals of their officers as far as their technical education stands, it is also true that they are recruited from a class of men who have not had the social advantages that are a requisite for a commissioned officer. "It is submitted that in time of peace the navy's function consists, to a certain extent, of representing the country abroad, and it is important that the navy's representatives should be men of at least refinement. While there are perhaps a certain few among the warrant officers who could fulfill this requirement, I am of the opinjon that the vast majority of them could not. "Once they are commissioned they will have the same social standing as other officers, and no distinction properly could be made in extending general invitations. The consequences that would arise from their acceptance might not redound to the credit of the navy, or the country which the navy represents. "I do not mean to detract from the sterling worth of the warrant officers of the navy; I merely mean to suggest to the department that, unfortunately for them, they have been deprived of certain natural advantages, and in consequence their proper place is that of leading men among the crew, and not as representatives of the country in the wardroom and steerage." A Washington dispatch says: Admiral Sampson will not be made a vice admiral as proposed by the navy department. His letter about Gunner Morgan has blasted his hopes of promotion. Sampson was bitterly hated in congress before this letter was written. Now his enemies declare he has shown such a contempt for the men of the navy and the people of America that he is deserving of no consideration even if the Schley-Sampson controversy is settled: ONLY CORPSES LEFT Thirty-Six Miners Are Entombed In a Burning Shaft. FIRE MADE RESCUE IMPOSSIBLE Horror Occurred At Diamondsville, Wyoming, and Was Caused By Careless Miner. The worst disaster in the history of coal mining in Wyoming since the Almy horror, eight years ago, occurred at Diamondsville Monday night. Thirty-six are believed to have perished in the fire, which started in mine No. 1 of the Diamondsville Coal and Coke Company. The blaze was first discovered shortly after the night shift commenced work. It is thought to have originated from a careless miner's lamp in the oilroom. The flames made such progress that only one man escaped from the two entries in which it was confined. His name is John Anderson, and he was frightfully burned in running the gauntlet of the flames. He was suddenly confronted by a wall of fire and smoke, and wrapping his head in an overcoat he ran in the direction of the main entrance. This step was c ter all hope of sav men had been al could live five which was incre every minute.

The scenes at the mouth of the mine during Monday night and Tuesday were heartrending. Relatives and friends of the entombed miners rushed to the mine, frantically waving their hands and crying to the mine officials and miners to save their dear ones. Many of the women and children were slightly injured in the crowd and by falling over obstacles in the darkness. Diamondsville has been the scene of a number of disastrous fires since the coal mines were opened there ten years ago, but the conflagrations were never attended with serious loss of life. The mine is owned by the Oregon Short Line railroad. It output is about 175,000 tons of coal per year, and upward of 700 miners are employed. The fire was discovered by a boy named Jags Hetson, who bravely ran and told many men who were inside. Richard Fern, fifteen years old, also ran through levels Nos. 6, 7 and 8 and notified the men, and many were saved through his courageous action. Seven men, headed by Mine Foreman Griffin, made several desperate attempts to reach the men through the lower level, but their efforts were in vain, four of the seven being knocked down by fire damp, the others being compelled to carry them to fresh air. It is given out by Superintendent Thomas Snedden, and confirmed by others familiar with the conditions, that the lives of all the men were certainly extinguished within three minutes after the fire gained ascendancy. The fire was fully under control Tuesday night, and Superintendent Snedden announced that he will open the mine at once for the recovery of the bodies and resume work. AN "INSPIRED" ACT. Demented Woman Doliberately Throws Her Two Children Into River. At Pittsburg, Pa., Tuesday morning Mrs. Maggie Deithorn, aged 26 years, walked out on the Twenty-second street bridge with her two children, aged two and four years, and when in the center of the structure quickly picked up the little ones and threw them into the Monongahela river. Before she could follow she was arrested. Boats put out at once and rescued one of the children but the other was drowned. The woman told the police that the act was an inspiration from heaven.

DUBBED DONKEY AND COWARD Allen Makes Highly Sensational Speech In Senate Attacking Admiral For His Action. In a sensational speech in the senate Tuesday "conceited ass," "consummate coward!" were among the choice expressions used by Senator Allen in references made to Rear Admiral Sampson. Senator Allen read the letter recently written by Admiral Sampson relative to the application of Gunner Morgan to be commissioned as an ensign in the navy, and, in terms of scathing bitterness, attacked the snobbery which inspired that letter. "If Sampson wrote that letter," said he, raising his voice to the highest pitch, "he is a conceited ass," and the galleries broke forth in applause. Allen briefly defended the right of the American youth to have this ambition to attain success in the military and naval service of the country, and paid a high tribute to the United States as the land of opportunity, which took its great men from the humble homes. He took occasion, incidentally, to refer to the fact that Sampson was of very humble origin, and added that he aristocrat—the man of really no sentiments—would never speak a like this in derogation of one he considered socially inferior. miral Sampson was also attacked house by Mr. Berry, of Ken, who said it was still the evident use of the navy department to her the highest honor upon the who was "farthest away" at the e of Santiago. He contrasted irial Sampson's attitude toward of the navy with Admiral Schley's on during the stress of battle in ding word to those below that "all nt well," and when the battle was er in saying that the victory beonged to the "men behind the guns."

LIST OF CONCESSIONS To Be Demanded of the Cubans By the United States. COMMITTEE DISCUSSES MATTER Naval Stations, Control of Foreign Affairs, Sanitation and Ante-War Debt Are Items. A Washington special says: The senate committee on relations with Cuba met Saturday to consider a proposed amendment to the army appropriation bill providing for the disposition of Cuban affairs. The proposition was prepared by the Republican members of the committee and is said to be satisfactory to most of them. The proposed amendment recites the so-called Teller amendment to the Spanish war resolution and then gives the president authority to withdraw troops from Cuba when, in his judgment, the provisions of the Teller amendment are realized. The prositions embodied in the proposed amendment include the following points: That the United States shall have supervision of all treaties with foreign countries made by the republic of Cuba. That Cuba shall not undertake to pay the debt incurred by Spain in the war with Cuba prior to or after the intervention of the United States. That Cuba shall agree either to lease or to sell to the United States such coaling or naval stations as in the opinion of the president of the United States may be necessary to the protection of the interests of this country. That the United States shall have sufficient supervision of the laws of Cuba relating to sanitation to protect this country from epidemics liable to originate there. The idea is that these provisions shall be included in a treaty to be made with Cuba, but that they need not be a part of the constitution. It is understood that the draft of the amendment containing these provisions was submitted to the president and the secretary of war, and that they expressed themselves as being in favor of their wording. The minority members of the comtee expressed themselves willing to come to an understanding upon these general lines. Indeed, some of the most important suggestions were made by the minority, Senator Butler, of North Carolina, being one of the foremost movers in the matter. They insist, however, upon many verbal amendments, thus evincing a determination to aid in giving form to the provision as well as suggesting its general tenor. When the committee adjourned there were still important differences to be reconciled, and the members separated with the understanding that another meeting would be held on Monday. Members on both sides of the committee expressed the hope that an agreement would be reached, but all said that the proceedings had not gone far enough to render it certain that the result would be attained. One prominent point to which the committee is giving special attention, although that point may not be emphasized or even mentioned in the proposed amendment, is the relation of Cuba to the Isle of Pines. There is some disposition among the Cubans to hold on to that island so near their shores, while there is apparently no disposition on the part of the United States to release that possession, on the ground that the island was acquired as a result of the Spanish war. QUESTION OF DOUBLE PAY. Charges Made by Bailey Are to Be Investigated By a Committee. The house Saturday adopted a resolution to investigate the pay of its employees as a result of the condition of affairs ascertained during the recent debate on the deficiency bill, and the speaker appointed a committee consisting of Mr. Moody, of Massachusetts; Mr. Overstreet, of Indiana; Mr. Long, of Kansas; Mr. Bailey, of Texas, and Mr. Newlands, of Nevada, to make the investigation. AN "INSPIRED" ACT. Demented Woman Deliberately Throws Her Two Children Into River. At Pittsburg, Pa., Tuesday morning Mrs. Maggie Deithorn, aged 26 years, walked out on the Twenty-second street bridge with her two children, aged two and four years, and when in the center of the structure quickly picked up the little ones and threw them into the Monongahela river. Before she could follow she was arrested. Boats put out at once and rescued one of the children but the other was drowned. The woman told the police that the cat was an inspiration from heaven. AND EVERY SATURDAY, BY T. RIBUE PUBLISHING CO. 118 W. St. Julian Street. WELL disciplined followers make model leaders. In every calling in life, prepare yourself to excel. MATTERS not what may exist, our boys and girls must get themselves ready for useful lives. The world owes every man a living, and every man can secure it if he only endeavors to do so. "Man's inhumanity to man" was manifested in the scandal recently unearthed in South Carolina. But one by one injustice against the Negro will be shown up and in such a manner as to gain him friends and brand his enemy. THE grand jury has indicted the white fellow R. G. Shivers for attempted criminal assault upon the twelve years old colored girl on West Fortieth street, mention of which was made in THE TRIBUNE week before last. This fellow should be given his just desert. Such crimes are hellish whether committed by a black or a white man. It is left with the solicitor general to do his duty and we feel that it will be done in no uncertain manner. It is reported that one of the patients at of the Georgia Infirmary who was one of our best citizens, died at the Infirmary where he was under special treatment, the early part of the night and his death was not known until the next morning. If this is really true, it is shocking and does not reflect creditably upon the management. At any rate if the report is true, those who are responsible for this great negligence should be held accountable for it. It is a really criminal act to neglect any patient. No doubt if the proper attention was paid to the patient at the proper time, his life might have been saved, even if it was only for a short time. A CORRESPONDENT in the afternoon paper on Monday in an article on "The Education of the Negro," ridicule his education and says that it unifies him for usefulness. There is no use combating such articles. If some inducement could be given the writer of the article to study the Negro and investigate, the assertion that "the governor of Virginia reports a large increase of crime on the part of educated Negroes," and that "Another southern governor has had 70 graduates of a certain western college in his penitentiary," there would not be so many ridiculous articles written about the Negro. Certain of our white friends think because a colored man can simply write his name and read a little that he is educated and when he commits a crime he is a "highly educated Negro." Let these writers study their subject before writing. In the general presentment of the grand jury of the Superior Court, on Tuesday last, the amount of taxes paid by the Negro was given as was the amount given them for school purposes. It showed that the county paid the pititable amount of $23,700 for education of the Negro children and that only $11,500 was paid by them for all taxes and that the county gave them $12,000 in excess of the amount contributed by them. No comment was given but to the unthoughtful ones it shows that the Negro is depending upon others for their education. If the grand jury had figured out the amount that is due the Negro from other taxations it would find $23,700 is far below the amount that the Negro should get. In a few more weeks an interesting pamphlet will be published, which the Atlanta Constitution term "a live wire," and from it, members of the grand jury and others that desire information on this line, will find that the Negro is not only entitled to the paltry amount given him, but that a large sum annually is being withheld which goes to the education of the white children. Locals. In our last issue Messrs J. E. Fulton & Sons advertised for a good carpenter. The position was secured by Mr. Wm. Reddick. We feel assured that he will give the firm entire satisfaction. A true bill has been found against Hary Brooks, who is accused of murdering Policeman Fender, and the trial will no doubt take place shortly. The mother of the accused is in the city and she is endeavoring to raise sufficient means to secure a suitable defense. Innocent Colored Men, Women And Children Held in Bondage. A BRAVE JUDGE'S INTERFERENCE. Slavery exists in this State to-day and in as barbarous a form as before the war. The whole iniquitous system has been re-established in certain counties—everything excepting the slave market. But without the market slaves are bought and sold among the planters, who place a price upon the slave contract which holds the unfortunate Negro in bondage. To the credit of South Carolina be it said that the Governor of the State has raised his voice against this barbarity. The Judges are against it, and the best citizens generally express their condemnation of the methods employed by many planters to nullify the thirteenth amendment to the United States Constitution and to render void the Emancipation Proclamation. But in spite of this sentiment against slavery Negroes charged with no crime are shut up in stockades, guarded by overseers who frequently resort to the lash, and when the unfortunates escape they are run down by bloodhounds and armed guards. SYSTEM THE OUTGROWTH OF CONVICT LABOR LAW. In at least one instance a free Negro who had been shut up in one of these stockades was shot down by the planter who owned the contract simply because the Negro desired to escape from the bondage. There are rumors of many other such cases where Negroes have been killed in attempting to run away. Those who are best qualified with affairs in South Carolina say that this slavery system is the outgrowth of the convict labor law of the State. It is within the last five years that slavery, has been reintroduced. Planters secured convicts from the State Penitentiary, and this gave them the privilege to build a stockade. Having the stockade they secured non-criminal free Negroes and shut them up with the convicts, working all alike in the cotton fields. Other planters, envious of those who got cheap labor in this way, built stockades without any convict lease and filled these prison yards with free Negroes. Gradually the system has spread over the State, although the Governor and other officials say that it exists only in Anderson county. The North American correspondent is informed that in the adjacent State of Georgia Negroes are similarly confined, and worked under labor contracts. In other Southern States they have labor contracts, but are without the stockades. COLORED MEN ARE UNABLE TO HELP THEMSELVES. Probably the planters have succeeded in placing their Negro laborers in slavery because the Negro has been practically disfranchised in the state. It is said that if the Negroes could vote they would be able to cast 40,000 more ballots than the whites in South Carolina. But by providing rigid educational and property qualifications for registration, the whites have practically obliterated the Negro vote. Only 3,500 colored men are qualified voters in South Carolina this year. Since the Negro has no longer any political power and is not believed when a witness in the courts, he is unable under the laws of the State to protect himself. Among the planters who are injured by the agitation, and who are in danger of losing some of the Negroes, who may resort to flight at this peculiarly opportune time, there are men who are not afraid to talk out loud. They denounce the Judge who had the courage to order the grand jury to visit the stockade and look into the slavery system as a menuding interloper and a demagogic disciple of reform. There are vague hints that some harm may belail this Judge "I am sorry for these poor fool Negroes who are leaving the stockades." one of the wealthiest planters in Anderson county said to the correspondent of The North American. Then the cotton grower added in explanation: "These niggers are led by some designing men, who are simply to make trouble. They are quitting their work, these Negroes, and placing themselves in great danger just because they are following the advice of white men who do not care anything about welfare of the coioed man." When the planter was asked to explain what great danger the fugitive slaves were in he got very mystereous. Finally, after much beating about the bnsh, this twentieth century slave-owner, who is certainly in a position to know whereof he speaks, said: "They are in danger because they will get killed—that's why. Mark my words—before the bud swell on the trees this county will be treated to the biggest sensation in its history. The Negroes are quitting work in spite of their contracts. In a few weeks they will begin to hold caucuses. When they caucus, look out! That means a massacre, and scores of the poor, ignorant, misguided blacks will be shot down. In South Carolina the whites are outnumbered and they must protect themselves." Meantime some few of the planters have turned loose their imprisoned free Negroes and keep only the convicts under guard in the stockades. This is merely a temporary expedient and meant to last only as long as the committee of the grand jury is on its round. The men let out of the stockades are still watched, and would probably be shot if they were trying to escape. Other Negroes not convicts had not been released from the stockades yesterday. High on the hillsides in the neighborhood of the stockades the guard, with Winchesters, still stood waiting to shoot down the laborers in the cotton fields below if these unfortunates tried to run away. Some of the blacks thus guarded wore the striped uniform furnished by the state to its convicts, but others, were in rags doled out by the planters to the slaves held under the labor contract. Blood hounds waited at the knees of the overseers.—By a Staff Correspondent of the North American, Philadelphia.

Blood overseers—By a Staff Correspondent of Stop Pulpit Advertising. "The reading of secular notices from the pulpit is a jar to the services: is exceedingly objectionable to, a large number of people," writes Edward Bok, in the March Ladies' Home Journal. "These folk rightly feel that secular matters should be kept as far removed from the Sabbath services as possible. And they are perfectly justified in taking that position. It is a bit disturbing when a minister announces that a fair will be held on such or such a day, or that a strawberry festival has been arranged for a certain evening. All our churches cannot abolish pulpit Carolina now as they were in sentiment may be able to do local government.

They have never had a place there: they are not in keeping with the dignity of the pulpit. Of course, where a church is absolutely too limited in its finances to have the most modest sort of a leaflet printed there is some reason for the continuance of the method. But whenever it is possible the pastors of our churches should be allowed to adopt the circular plan. The minister should not be turned into an advertising medium under any pretext whatever. Nor should the pulpit be dragged from its high place and its lofty purpose. It is not a bulletin-board. Lald by Masons. On Friday of last week, the corner stone of the Charity Hospital and Training School for Nurses, located at Florence and 36th streets, was laid by the Masons, Past Grand Master Alexander Harris, acting as Grand Master. D. D. G. M., C. Bryant Whaley M. D., was present acting in his official capacity. The beautiful ritualistic ceremonies of the Masons were executed with becoming dignity. After the laying of the corner stone the audience entered the building and while Dr. Durham was indisposed and unable to deliver the oration of the day, Rev. M. J. Maddox entertained his bearers with an extemporaneous, scholarly and interesting address. A collection was taken up, and after the doxology and benediction the Masons rejoined and returned to their temple. The following acted as officers for the occasion: P. G. M., Rev. Alex. Harris, G M. P. M., C. B. Whalev, D D G M, P. M., L. Binyard, G S W. G L Binyard, G S D; P M, A J McDewell, G J D; S L Beaty, G J; M Jessie Fergerson, G Tyer; R I II Mann, G S S; James Huzel, G J S; P M, R M Danielly. Master of the oldest lodge, carried the book of Constitution.

We are running as usual much the same out here. The cold spell did us no harm other than "run up" our wood account. Quite a delegation of students went in town Sunday to attend the anniversary exercises of the venerable Dr. Harris' church. Our President and Vice-president had important parts to play on the program. Farmer Travis has a large field of winter cabbages coming to a head. He has almost as large a crop of "cabbage heads" in his department as can be found in the other departments of the college. The farmers' conference came to pass in good shape. The exercises were both interesting and instructive. The student-talks were good and to the point. Rev. Thomas has gone to Washington to see the last of his son R. C. Thomas, who becomes a Benedict. Too bad, and so young too. He deserves a better fate. Rev. Thomas has still another son to profit by this example. Miss Flora Blyler of the freshman class has returned to her class after several weeks of absence. The authorities of the college are much gratified to know that all of the young women who graduated last year are engaged in teaching in good positions. One is in Chatham county, one in Cuthbert, one in Dublin, one in Barmesville. There is a constant demand for such material as they are trying to serve out from this school. In like manner, the young women of this year's class will be located—those who plan to teach. Of course, those who are about to marry will not teach, for married women should _____. After all it may not be a bud idea to graduate from the Georgia State Industrial College. Opening of New Rectory. The opening of the new rectory of St. Augustine's Chapel, corner of Bolton and West Broad streets, Tuesday evening of last week was quite a pleasant occasion indeed. The members and their friends enjoyed themselves in the rectory until supper was announced, when they repaired to the school building where tables were spread, beautifully and tastily decorated with flowers. After the guests were all seated, a quartette "The bill of Fare," by Mr. H. C. Holmes and others, was creditably rendered. The address of welcome was given by the Rector, Rev John C. Dennis, who afterwards in a manner peculiar to himself, introduced the Rev. Richard Bright of St. Stephen's Episcopal church, as honorary guest of the occasion. Rev. Bright's address was an able and encouraging one. After speaking of the work in the past year and wishing it God's speed, Rev. Bright asked the blessing. The supper was then served in courses by a corp of well trained attendants. Those present were, Rev. Bright, Rev. and Mrs. Dennis, Drs. Whaley, Davis, Blackman and Bulkley, Mr. and Mrs. McDowell, Mrs. Anna Nutall, Mr. E. E. DesVerney, Miss M. Gardeen, Mr. and Mrs. Brown, Mr. H. C. Holmes, Mr. L. D. Davis, Mr. R. H Blyler, Misses Geola and Flora Blyler, and others. The rector and members of this church deserves much credit for their new rectory.

EDITOR = Allow me space in your valuable paper to describe a marriage of a brilliant nature which occurred at this place Thursday evening of last week, between Miss Ada Estella Roberts and Mr. Charles William Harrison at the home of the bride. ‘The spacious parlors and hall of the residence were artistically and beautifully decorated. In accord- ance with tovitations which were sent out, there were gathered some of the leading citizens to witness the ceremony. Promptly at 8 o’clock with Miss Josie Wrlhelminia Rob- erts presiding at the piano, who played in a most perfect manner Mendolshon’s wedding march, the contracting parties murched into dne of the parlors where the Rev. Lawrence Miller of Macon, perform- ed the wedding ceremony in a most becoming and instruotive manner. The bride wore french organdie handsomely trimmed in satin ribbon and lace, carrying a bunch of orange blossoms. The groom’ was neatly dressed ina dark blue broad cloth. ‘The following are few uf the many persons who gave presents: Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Portis of Cordele, a handsome bed set and broach. Mr. Mr and Mrs S. Hayes some lovely pieces of cut glass ware, Mr and Mrs Howze and Miss Wilouby Stevens a lovely salad set, Mr and Mfrs Lundy and Edwards, ot ‘Thomasville some handsome damask tableware, Mr and Mrs Q.H. McCarthy of Albany « lovely set of knives and forks, Dr. and Mra. x. E. Grier a beautifu nut set. The Albany Normal School Faculty ahandsome rug; Douglass Litera.y Cluba handsome tea set, bride’s mother fire dollars in gold. Rev. Ls Miller, an unique book call- ed the “Wedded Life” * There were other contributors but time will not allow me to mention. ‘These presents were very valuable and useful. After the marriage the members ofthe D. L. C. tendered them a a grand reception. ‘Lhe bride is one of the teachers at the Albany Public Schcol and the daughter of Rey J. W. Roberts of Savannah. The groom is in the mail service here.—Mrs E. Davis, Lost Not its Ardor. Even though last Surday was one of the coldest days of the season and kept back the anticipated crowd at the anniversary celebration of First Bryan Baptist church, Rev. Alexan- der Harrie, pastor, it did not take away the fervency of those who were present. * : At the morning service, Prof. D. 'C. Suggs delivered a mast profound ‘address on ths subject of education, ‘treating the subject if quite an un- usual manner. Rev.',C. L. Bonner also delivered a shot but-eloquent and instructive address on the reli ious hope of the Negro of the 20t century, both of which elicited the hearty approval of the hearers. The singing wasegood, the choir being assisted by some of the tulent of the City who aie alwaysunselfishly will- ing to help others. Zittle Miss Dur- den, daughter of Mfr. and Mrs. Wil- liam Durden, was one of the presid- ers at the organ and did well for one of her age. 2 In’the afternoon the conimunion service was held. is At night, as per anhouncement, Dr. Durham spoke of the benefits of gecret societies to the people in gen- eral, which was well received, espec- tally by the secret society admirers Rev. M. J. Maddox was also pres- ent and gave his assistance. Rev.

PINKHAM Letters Proving Positively that there is No Medicine for Woman's Ills Equal to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. MRS. ANNIE THOMPSON (ALL LETTERS ARE PUBLISHED BY SPECIAL PERMISSION.) "I cannot say enough in regard to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. It has done, me more good than all the doctors. I have been troubled with female weakness in its worst form for about ten years. I had leucorrhoea and was so weak that I could not do my housework. I also had falling of the womb and inflammation of the womb and ovaries, and at menstrual periods I suffered terribly. At times my back would ache very hard. I could not lift anything or do any heavy work; was not able to stand on my feet long at a time. My husband spent hundreds of dollars for doctors but they did me no good. My husband's sister wrote what the Vegetable Compound had done for her, and wanted me to try it, but I did not then think it would do me any good. After a time, I concluded to try it, and I can truly say it does all that is claimed for it. Ten bottles of the Vegetable Compound and seven packages of Sanative Wash have made a new woman of me, I have had no womb trouble since taking the fifth bottle. I weigh more than I have in years; can do all my own housework, sleep well, have a good appetite, and now feel that life is worth living. I owe all to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I feel that it has saved my life and would not be without it for anything. I am always glad to recommend it to all my sex, for I know if they will follow Mrs. Pinkham's directions, they will be cured." Gratefully yours. MRS. ANNIE THOMPSON, South Hot Springs, Ark. CHANGE OF LIFE. PROFUSE PERIODS. "I was taken sick five years ago with 'The Gripe,' and had a relapse and was given up by the doctor and my friends. Change of Life began to work on me. I flowed very badly until a year ago, then my stomach and lungs got so MRS. M. ADENSON "I commenced taking Lydia L. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound about 3 months ago, and cannot express the wonderful good it has done me. Menstruations were so profuse as to leave me very weak for some time after. MRS. L. D. HODGE bad, I suffered terribly; the blood wiped up in my lungs and stomach, and I vomited it up. I could not eat scarcely anything. I cannot tell what I suffered with my head. My husband got me a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's vegetable Compound, and before I had taken half of it I began to improve, and to-day I am another woman. Mrs. Pinkham's medicine has saved my life. I cannot praise it enough." Was also troubled with leucorrhoea, tired feeling, bearing down sensation, pain across the back and thighs. I felt as though there was a heavy weight in my stomach all the time. I have taken two bottles of the medicine, and now have better health than I have had for four years." MRS.

GERMAN KALI WORKS, 63 Nassau St., New York If afflicted with wear eyes, use Thompson's Eye Water BEST SPRING MEDICINE The Palm Given to Dr. Greene's Nervura. That Grand Jury, the People, Have So Decided. Used by Hundreds of Thousands in Spring as a Blood Medicine. Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy is indeed "The world's Great Spring Medicine. It has come to be recognized by almost everybody as the best possible spring medicine to take, and hundreds of thousands of our people use it during the trying spring months, to tone up anew the relaxed nerves and re-invigorate and enrich the blood. A spring medicine is a necessity if one wishes to keep in perfect health and vigor during the changes from winter to summer. This grand spring tonic, this perfect spring medicine, Dr. Greene's Nervurna blood and nerve remedy, is exactly what the system needs at this season. It not only purifies, but makes rich, red blood; it not only strengthens and invigorates the nervous system, but re-energizes and revitalizes the nerves by feeding them with renewed nerve force and power. It is not only an aid to digestion, but it creates a regular, natural and healthy action of the bowels, liver, kidneys, which in the spring are always sluggish and inactive. In fact, it is just what people' need to make them well and keep them well, during these months, so threatening to the health of all, and when it is considered that Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy is made entirely from pure, health-giving vegetable remedies, and that people give it more testimonials of cure than any other remedy on earth, no one can doubt that it is the very best spring remedy for everybody to use. Mr. Gustave Lelbach, of, 337 First street, Jersey City, N. J., says:— "I was troubled with sick headaches, and could not sleep on account of the palms in my head. I was suffering night and day with dyspepsia, could not eat anything, my stomach would sour so. I had to starve myself to have any case. I had to give up work at last, I was so nervous and miserable, and I was falling away in flesh so that my friends hardly knew me. I tried several remedies, but without avail. At last someone recommended Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. I tried one bottle and began to improve. I started in to eat all right; then I picked up my health; my headaches disappeared, and my weakness and sour stomach went away. I used three bottles, and could sleep all night with ease; I used six bottles, and felt like a new man. I can now do a hard day's work without any trouble, and I am as happy as a bird in spring. I was so miserable, always suffering, always in pain, but now I am like a new man." Use Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy this spring, for it is the discovery and prescription of a well-known physician, Dr. Greene, of 35 W. 14th St., New York City, who is responsible for its beneficial action, and who can be consulted free of charge, person by by letter.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inframed condition of the mucous lining of the ear, and it is caused by the inframed condition you have a rumbling sound or superfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be deformed.
