INAUGURATION CEREMONIES Published by The TRIBUNE PTBLISHING COMPANY V 11, XVL CAPITOL LITERALLY IHRONGED Though Marred Somewhat By the Elements Inaugural Program Brilliantly Carried Out. A Washington special says: Monday at noon, William McKinley, of Ohio, was inducted into the presidential office, being the eighth in the illustrious line of presidents of the United States thus honored by the American people with a second term. Simultaneously, Theodore Roosevelt, of New York, became vice president of the United States. During the early hours of the morning, and even well into the day the prospect was certainly discouraging. At 3 o'clock a.m. , m., a drazzing rain was falling, and at rise the clouds hung so thickly that the orb of day was scarcely visible. About 8 o'clock the clouds began to break, and in the course of an hour broad beams of sunlight swept the avenue, the variations from the light to shadow, as the clouds scudded rapidly over the sky under the influence of a northwest wind, adding variety to the pictures. On the whole the weather promised to redeem the pledge of the weather bureau that the weather would be, glorious, the temperature being mild and broad stretches of blue sky appearing, as the sun forced its way through the clouds. The parade that followed President McKinley on his return from the capitol to the white house and passed in review there-before him, was different from all its predecessors in the majestic predominance of the military feature. The civil contingent was quite up to the average in numbers, yet by actual count made by the marshals the soldiers outnumbered the civilians in line by more than three to one. In blue were many soldiers who had carried the country's flag out into the world, and had waged a war which was all in the future when the last inaugural procession marched along Pennsylvania avenue. With these young veterans, and in the place of honor, as the president's escort, marched another contingent made up entirely of soldiers of the civil war. At their head marched the Rough Rider band. For the first time in a quarter of a century the $r$-resident rode from the white house to the capitol without a successor beside him in his carriage. Grant was the last of the presidents of the United States up to this time to occupy a similar position. President McKinley had for his companions in his carriage members of the committee specially chosen by congress to take charge of the inauguration, headed by Senator Hanna. The nations of the world, great and small, paid their tribute to the president in attendance at the ceremonies at the capitol and in reviewing the great parade. The navy was represented in the ceremonies more numerously than ever before. Half a dozen warships, more than have assembled in the Potomac since the civil war, contributed through their sailors and marines one of the most unique and enjoyable features of the ceremony, marching over a thousand strong. Down on the water front lay the famous old flagship Hartford, while at the navy yard floated the double-turreted monitor Puritan. Further down the Potomac lay other vessels unable to get up the river to Washington, but whose crews swelled the list of paraders. Sixteen states of the union—north, east, south and west—were represented by their governors, most of them accompanied by numerous staffs. Though worn and weary the legislative branch of the national government faithfully executed its part in the day's ceremonies. The protracted sessions of the last few days, involving work day and night, imposed severe physical strains upon the senators and representatives, yet when the time came to close up the task of legislation and turn to the inauguration of the president, all was in readiness in the capitol. President McKinley was sworn in at 1:17 p. m., on a handsomely decorated stand at the east end of the capitol, in the presence of a surging multitude. The dense undulating throng filled all the winding walks, the broad avenues and radiating streets, overflowing into thousands into the sweep of lawn and even seeking the tree tops points of vantage. Quite as many women were in the throngs as men, wearing bright hats and gay gowns, mingling with the color of hundreds of tiny flags waved aloft on canes. Over towards the congressional library the seething mass The Savannah Tribune. was banked tier on tier on the marble steps. Just before 1 o'clock a drizzling sleet, with hail, began to fall and over the sea of heads were countless umbrellas, some of them of fantastic color and patriotic hue. The sky turned somewhat gray to black and the signs looked ominous. But the crowd held its ground unmindful of the lowering sky and slanting hail. It was just 1 o'clock when the official party came through the main doorway of the capitol. All eyes were strained toward the distinguished group as they appeared. Usually the president comes among the first, but on this occasion there was entire change and instead of having the president wait until all the officials were in place the presidential party did not appear until all the invited guests had assembled and everything was in readiness to administer the oath. By this time the hail had turned into a steady drizzle of rain making the officials and the ambassadors shift uneasily under the downpour. When the special guests had been ushered to their seats there was a momentary lull and silence fell upon the great concourse as it strained to catch the first glimpse of the president. As President McKinley stepped out on the portico in full view of the waiting multitude, a great cheer went up. The president bowed his acknowledgments of the greeting. With him was Chief Justice Fuller, prepared to administer the oath. Through the lines of senators and officials, all standing to do him honor, the president proceeded to the central pavilion, going forward to the railing and facing the vast assemblage at close range, again and again bowing his acknowledgment to the tremendous cheers from 40,000 throats. Then he turned and shook hands with Vice President Roosevelt, while another great cheer went up as the two central figures, McKinley and Roosevelt, stood out above the crowd. Now again and a deep hush fell upon the assemblage as the president and the chief justice advanced to the center of the pavilion. The president removed his hat and then he raised his right hand. In the intense stillness faintly could be heard the solemn words of the oath to maintain inviolate the constitution and laws of the United States. He spoke in a strong voice, easily heard by those near the front of the stand. His face looked very grave as the oath was pronounced. There was no demonstration as he concluded the oath. Now he turned again to the people and advancing to the rail of the pavilion began his inangular address. As the president spoke the pent-up clouds gave out their full force and the pelting rain came down in sheets, throwing a watery veil over the dripping multitude. Under his pavilion the president was well protected, and there was no faltering in the address as the down-pour continued. As he raised his voice in a resounding phrase for "Free Cuba" there was a shout of approval, and frequently he paused to allow some well-turned sentence to receive its tribute of popular approval. As the president closed his address the vice president and many senators grasped his hand in congratulation. Then he returned to the capitol, proceeding to the senate wing, where a lunch had been spread in the committee room of the committee on military affairs. Here the president was joined by the vice president, the inaugural committee, distinguished officers of the army and navy and a number of senators and other invited guests. Half an hour was spent in taking refreshments. Soon after the booming of cannon and blare of bugles announced that the president was ready to proceed to the white house and the time had come for the marching hosts to move, column after column of the uniformed ranks swung into position. It was 2:30 o'clock when they took their place in the parade and the procession, which had straightened out, started fairly for the white house, a mile and a half away. SENATOR CARTER DID IT. Montana Man Succeeded In Killing River and Harbor Bill. A Washington Special says: After consuming, with some outside aid, more than twelve hours of time, Senator Carter, of Montana, succeeded in talking to death the river and harbor bill. The Montana senator made the defeat of this bill the climax to his senatorial career for two reasons: One was the desire to get some advertisement out of the business, and the other was undoubtedly the desire to please some of the high officials in the hope that he himself may hereafter receive more substantial benefits than those which come from personal praise. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. MARCH 9. 1901. PRESIDENT M'KINLEY'S INAUGURAL ADDRESS President McKinley's inaugural address in part was as follows: My Fellow Citizens—When we assembled here on the 4th of March, 1897, there was a great anxiety with regard to our currency and credit. None exists now. Then our treasury receipts were inadequate to meet the current obligations of the government. Now they are sufficient for all public needs and we have a surplus instead of a deficit. Then I felt constrained to convene congress in extraordinary session to devise revenues to pay the ordinary expenses of the government. Now I have the satisfaction to announce that the congress just closed has reduced taxation in the sum of forty-one million dollars. The national verdict of 1896 has for the most part been executed. Whatever remains unfilled is a continuing obligation resting with undiminished force upon the executive and the congress. But fortunate as our condition is, its permanence can only be assured by sound business methods and strict economy in national administration and legislation. We should not permit our great prosperity to lead us to reckless ventures in business or profligacy in public expenditures. Four years ago we stood on the brink of war without the people knowing it and without any preparation or effort at preparation for the impending peril. I did all that in honor could be done to avert the war, but without avail. It became invitable, and the congress at its first regular session, without party division, provided money in anticipation of the crisis and in preparation to meet it. It came. The result was signally favorable to American arms and in the highest degree honorable to the government. It imposed upon us obligations from which we cannot escape and from which it would be dishonorable to seek to escape. We are now at peace with the world and it is my fervent prayer that if differences arise between us and other powers they may be settled by peaceful arbitration and that hereafter we may be spared the horrors of war. Entrusted by the people for the second time with the office of president, I enter upon its administration appreciating the great responsibilities which attach to this renewed honor and commission; promising unreserved devotion on my part to their faithful discharge and reverently invoking for my guidance the direction and favor of Almighty God. Strong hearts and helpful hands are needed, and fortunately we have them in every part of our beloved country. We are reunited. Sectionalism has disappeared. Division on public questions can no longer be traced by the war maps of 1861. These old differences less and less disturb the judgment. Existing problems demand the thought and quicken the conscience of the country and the responsibility for their presence as well as for their righteous settlement rests upon us all—no more upon me than upon you. The American people, entrenched in freedom at home, take their love for it with them wherever they go and they reject as mistaken and unworthy the doctrine that we lose our own liberties by securing the enduring foundations of liberty to others. Our institutions will not deteriorate by extension and our sense of justice will not abate under tropic suns in distant seas. As heretofore, so hereafter will the nation demonstrate its fitness to administer any new estate which events devolve upon it, and in the fear of God will "take occasion by the hand and make the bounds of freedom wider vet." We face at this moment a most important question—that of the future relations of the United States and Cuba. With our near neighbors we must remain close friends. The declaration of the purposes of this government in the resolution of April 20, 1898, must be made good. Ever since the evacuation of the island by the army of Spain, the executive, with all practicable speed, has been assisting its people in the successive steps necessary to the establishment of a free and independent government prepared to assume and perform the obligations of international law which now rest upon the United States under the treaty of Paris. The convention elected by the people to frame a constitution is approaching the completion of its labors. The transfer of American control to the new government is of such great importance, involving an obligation resulting from ourvention and the treaty of peace that I am glad to be advised by the recent act of congress of the policy which the legislative branch of the government deems essential to the best interests of Cuba and the United States. "The peace which we are pledged to leave to the Cuban people must carry with it the guarantees of permanence. We become sponsors for the pacification of the island and we remain accountable to the Cubans, no less than to our own country and people, for the reconstruction of Cuba as a free commonwealth on abiding foundations of right, justice, liberty and assured or- der. Our enfranchisement of the people will not be complete until free Cuba shall be a reality, not a name; a perfect entity, not a hasty experiment bearing within itself the element of failure." While the treaty of peace with Spain was ratified on the 6th of February, 1899, and ratifications were exchanged nearly two years ago, the congress has indicated no form of government for the Philippine Islands. It has, however, provided an army to enable the executive to suppress insurrection, restore peace, give security to the inhabitants, and establish the authority of the United States throughout the Archipelago. The congress having added the sanction of its authority to the powers already possessed and exercised by the executive under the constitution, thereby leaving with the executive the responsibility for the government of the Philippines, I shall continue the efforts already begun until order shall be restored throughout the islands, and as fast as conditions permit will establish governments, in the formation of which the full co-operation of the people has been already invited, and when established will encourage the people to administer them. The settled purpose, long ago prevailed, to afford the inhabitants of the islands self-government as fast as they were ready for it, will be pursued with earnestness and fidelity. The most liberal terms of amnesty have already been communicated to the insurgents, and the way is still open for those who have raised their arms against the government for honorable submission to its authority. Our countrymen should not be deceived. We are not waging war against the inhabitants of the Philippine islands. A portion of them arm-making war against the United State By far the greater part of the inhaitants recognize American sovereignty and welcome it as a guaranty of and of security for life, property, freedom of conscience and pursuit of happiness. To them protection will be given. They shall not be abandoned. We will not to the destiny of the loyal millions of islands to the disloyal thousands are in rebellion against the Uni States. CABINET RENOMINATED. President Senda in List of Advisers, an Senate Ratifies. The president Tuesday renominated all of the members of the cabinet, including Attorney General Griggs, who will retain office until his successor is appointed. The senate later confirmed all of these cabinet renominations. The president is expected shortly to nominate Robert McCormick, of Washington, formerly of Illinois, as minister to Austria, vice Minister Harris, resigned. The president also issued a new commission to Mr. George B. Cortelyon as secretary to the president. Obstructiona Found on Track at Two Places Near Ridgeway, S. C. Two attempts were made to wreck the northbound Florida-New York fast mail near Ridgeway, S. C., Saturday night. The attempts were made two miles apart. It is supposed to have been done for the purpose of robbery and by a number of men, the second barrier being arranged in case the first failed. In the first instance an iron rail was fastened across the track. The engine stopped as the obstruction was reached. Two miles further a big rock was run into, but only smashed the pilot. GEN. GREENE'S REMAINS FOUND. The Coffin Was In Old Vault In Colonial Cemetery at Savannah. The remains of General Nathanniel E. Greene, revolutionary hero; were found at noon Monday in the old Jones vault in the Colonial cemetery in Savannah, Ga., which has not been used for burial purposes for fifty years. The remains were identified by a name plate on the coffin, and by buttons of the uniform. The remains of the general's son were also found in the same vault, history saying that the boy, who was drowned in the Savannah river, had been placed by the side of his father. THOUSANDS DRAWN OUT. False Rumors Cause Heavy Run On a Staunch Pennsylvania Bank. False and unfounded rumors caused a run on the German National bank of Allegheny, Pa., Tuesday, during which $180,000 was paid out to frightened depositors. The excitement at one time was intense, causing almost a panic and giving the police all they could do to prevent an outbreak. The bank is a state and national bank, and one of the most reliable in the city. It is thoroughly trusted by the business men of Allegheny, and Cashier Helm said that every demand would be met promptly. If it were not for the provisions of the postal laws, Uncle Sam might dun the sultan on a postal card. Subscription: $1.25 per annum; 750 for Six Months, 500 for Three Months; Single Copies 5c. In Advance, IRISH ARE EJECTED ERIN MEMBERS DEFY BALFOUR Police Were Called In to Remove Them and a Frantic Struggle Ensues on the Floor. A London Special says: There was a stormy scene in the house of commons shortly after midnight Tuesday night caused by Mr. Balfour closing the whole education estimates without giving an opportunity to discuss the Irish votes. When Mr. Balfour applied the closure on the education estimates, the nationalists shouted, "gag, gag," and refused to leave the house when the division was taken. The chairman twice asked them to retire to the division lobby, but they shouted: "Certainly not." Mr. Flavin cried: "I protest against the way all Irish votes are closed." The chairman then intimated that he must report the matter to the speaker. In the meantime the other members had return: in the lobbies amid some ur- ty or forty Irishmen remr- seats.

Th returned and carried o. the remaining recalcitrants in the same manner, although there was no further actual resistance. Six policemen sufficed for each member, with the exception of Mr. Flavin, who is a big man, and required eight. Many, as they were being carried out, waved their hands and shouted: "God save Ireland." At I o'clock the speaker said: "The house will now resume proceedings in committee and I trust that honorable members will not leave the house." The Irish members shouted that they would not leave. The chairman again put the vote on account, adding, there being no teller or noes, that the ayes had it. Amid laughter and cheers the house adjourned. Never before had such a scene occurred in the house as accompanied the removal of Mr. Crean. He struggled fiercely with the attendants, who summoned the police, and a dozen constables entering the house. The Nationalist jeered at them. Four or five stalwart policemen proceeded to seize Mr. Crean, who stuck his legs under the seat and could not be moved for some minutes. Meanwhile other policemen were struggling and fighting with other Irishmen, who stood up and obstructed the passage of the police to Mr. Crean's seat. The Irish shouted: 'Don't kill me" and "Don't kill the man." The nationalists fought and struggled frantically, but at length a superior force of police succeeded in dragging Mr. Crean out by the legs and arms and carrying him down the floor of the house, the Irishmen standing and wildly shouting: "Shame," "murderers" and "South African brutality." There were still about fifty Irishmen present when the committee resumed, but they refused to appoint any tellers for a division. The nationalists jeered Mr. Balfour and the other ministers as they left the building. WARSHIPS TO HAVANA. The Kearsarge and Alabama Sent to Cuban Waters as a Precaution. A Washington dispatch says: It is believed the administration anticipates an outbreak in Cuba, and the ordering of two warships, the Kearsarge and Alabama, to Havana is regarded as the first step in a plan to send a number of vessels and regiments of troops to the island to quell any trouble the Cubans may make. The refusal of the Cubans to accept the policy of the United States in restricting their liberty is expected-to result in the exercise of force by this country. NO 22. ROOSEVELTSWORN IN VICE PRESIDENT TAKES OATH Ceremony Was Witnessed By An Immense Concourse of Prominent Officials and Civilians. Standing on a spot hallowed by history and in the presence of a brilliant and distinguished assemblage on the floor of the senate, Colonel Roosevelt, of New York, was inducted into the office of vice president of the United States. The oath was administered by Senator Wm. P. Frye, of Maine, president pro tem. of the United State senate. The ceremony was thoroughly democratic, yet it was simplically profoundly impressive. The scene on the floor of the chamber, intent upon the ceremony, were men whose names are household words in every city. The senate was in session, constructively, having been so since 11 o'clock Saturday morning although recesses taken at intervals had rendered the mental and physical strain the more endurable. Upon the floor of the senate the proceedings were in accordance with a definite program from which there was no deviation. As the assembly was seated the new vice president ascended to his desk to deliver his inaugural address. Before the delivery of the speech the venerable chaplain of the senate, Rev. Dr. W. H. Milburn, invoked the divine blessing upon the assemblage and the ceremonies. The inaugural address was brief and was listened to with utmost attention. The proclamation of the president calling the senate into extraordinary session was then read by the clerk, the direction for the reading being the first official order of the new vice president. At the conclusion of the reading the vice president requested the new senators to present themselves at the desk to take the oath of office. The clerk called the names of the senators in groups of four, and as they advanced to the left of the vice president's desk to take the oath they were greeted with cordial applause from the galleries. The inaugural address of Vice President Roosevelt, in full, was as follows: "The history of free government is in large part the history of those republic legislative bodies in which from the earliest times, free government has found its loftiest expressive. They must ever hold a peculiar exalted position in the record which tells how the great nations of world have endeavored to achieve preserve orderly freedom. "No man can render to his fellow greater service than is rendered him who, with fearlessness honesty, with sanity and disinterestness, does his life work as a member of such a body. Especially is it the case when the legislature in wif the service is rendered is a vital in the governmental machinery of those world powers to whose lands, in the course of the ages, is ennusted a leading part in shaping the destinies of mankind. For weal or for woe, for good or for evil, this is true of our own mighty nation. Great privileges and great powers are ours, and heavy are the responsibilities that go with these privileges and these powers. "Accordingly as we do well or ill so shall mankind in the future be raised or cast down. We belong to a youngnation, already of great strength, yet whose present strength is but a fore-stand supreme in a continent, in a hemisphere. East and west we look across the two great oceans toward the larger world life in which, whether we will or not, we must take an ever-increasing share. And as, keen-eyed, we look into the coming years, duties new and old rise thick and fast to confront us from within and without. "There is every reason why we should face these duties with a sober appreciation alike of their importance and of their difficulty. But there is also every reason for facing them with high-hearted resolution and eager and confident faith in our capacity to do them aright. "A great work lies ready to the hand of this generation. It should count itself happy, indeed, that it is given the privilege of doing such a work. A leading part therein must be taken by this, the august and powerful legislative body over which I have been called to preside. Most deeply do I appreciate the privilege of my position, for high, indeed, is the honor of presiding over the American senate at the outset of the twentieth century."

THE next governor should be from this section of the state and no better man can be selected than Hon. Fleming duBignon. MARYLAND is among those states that will add infamy to its laws by taking undue advantage of a part of its citizens. The law will yet act as boomerang. THOSE of our people who are inclined to be law-breakers should be shown no consideration by us. All good citizens should assist in upholding the mandates of the law. WITH Congress overwhelmingly Republican from top to bottom and a stalwart Republican president and vice-president, there is no cause whatever to feel that the country is not perfectly safe for at least four more years. Those appointees of President McKinley who have given satisfaction in the discharge of their duties will not be molested, notwithstanding the frantic efforts of some certain southern democrats to make things appear otherwise. The Indiana senate passed a bill holding sheriffs of the various counties responsible for lynching. The penalty is removal from office, unless it can be proven that they endeavored to prevent the same. Such a law should be enacted in every state. It is really amusing to perceive the antics of certain Democrats who are desirous to dictate who should be appointed to office by the president. They have been so long without national "pap" until they are hungry, and have lost all sense of party usages. A GREAT hue and cry was made in Atlanta about the outrage committed upon a white woman, which is charged to a colored man. Several arrests were made, but as yet the guilty party is still at large. From some source intimation was given that discredited the assault. If such did occur, it was terrible, and the guilty one should legally suffer. THE other day in Bryan county a colored man was lynched because he refused to work for a certain white man. As yet nothing has been done to apprehend the coward assassins. This lawless tendency will yet react to the discomfort of the perpetrators. It is up to Judge Seabrook to see that this infamous tragedy be fully investigated and the culprits brought to justice. THERE is one thing the Irish is to be commended for, and that is the manner in which they contend for their rights. This they do in season and out of season. This is always uppermost in their mind. This deause of their rights led to an unusuacene in parliament this week, and used the ejection of all of their numbers, but they went out in defiance and contending for their rights. For the past several weeks THE BUNE has given its readers the count of the great peal, scandal in North Carolina. Words nor pen can detect this horrible state of affairs. It is left to the good people of that state to blot out forever this horrible condition. It is said that miniature institutions of this kind exist in other southern states where colored men, women and children are held in abject slavery by this damnable contract system. THE Savannah Fair Association has been fully organized and officers elected. Mr. Geo. W. Owens, who is one of the foremost lawyers in the state and a gentleman of the trueest type, was chosen as its president. President Owens and his officers are determined to make the fair a decided success. The colored citizens are interested in everything that will benefit Savannah. They feel that this fair will benefit the city and are anxious to assist in anything that will tend to make it the success hoped for. For the second time, President McKinley has been inaugurated as president of these United States. He is the first president to succeed himself since Grant. Mr. McKinley's administration is marked with such ability and his manner of meeting the several difficult problems that arose and solving them with such satisfaction, caused the American people to have unbounded confidence in him, which confidence was shown by the great victory he achieved in November and which was culminated at the inauguration exercises on Monday, when thousands of his fellow citizens witnessed his induction for another four years. A few weeks ago several colored men were convicted for murder in Screven county. It was asserted that they are members of a secret organization known as the "Knights of Archery," and the motto of which is "Death to the white man." Our white friends are quite unnecessarily alarmed about this organization, and some one has added to its charter words that it should not contain. The headquarters of this institution is in this city, and it was in a flourishing condition a few years ago. The charter for the subordinate lodges was printed by THE TRIBUNE, and as it is remembered, it contains no such motto as is charged to it. The men who are convicted of the crime charged to them may be members of this institution, but it is unfair to brand the other members as being inimical to the best interest of their white neighbors, or even have the least intention of committing a crime against them. The Negro has too many other burdens to bear, rather than have such an uncalled for charge placed against him. The efforts of the law and order league caused the closing of many saloons and other places of business on Sundays. The members of this league are to be commended for their efforts. This effort is in the right direction and will be the resultant of much good. This shows what great good can be accomplished by the banding of a few determined persons whose principle is the upholding of the right. The same efforts put forth by these zealous workers can be made broader and result in greater good. The lawless tendency of certain citizens to take the laws in their hands and execute judgment is growing to an alarming extent and if it is allowed to continue will envelope this country under such condition that it will take generations to eradicate. Let this league spread out and fight against this lawless Four Yo LUX ENG CA BOSTON PRESIDENT MCKINLEY. The Grand Jury of Anderson county made its report on Thursday to Judge W. C. Benet and declared that a practical enslavement of colored people has been conducted in that county. A special committee from the grand jury visited the various stockades and found confined therein those who were guiltless of any felony whatever but undergoing a term of servitude. Three of the largest planters and most influential men of the county were indicted. Several others were indicted for assault on these slaves. The cases will be tried at the June term of the Court. For some time THE TRIBUNE has been advising those ex-slaves who were inclined to join the Ex-slave Association by paying certain, fees, not to do so, as it was only a scheme to enrich a few and make the victims poorer. The manager of this association, I. H. Dickerson, was convicted in Atlanta this week of swindling and sentenced to twelve months on the chain gang or pay a fine of $1000. College Dots. Bishop Tunner of the A. M. E. church, addressed the students and teachers on Monday evening. He gave an interesting and inspiring talk. He was accompanied by Rev Dr. Cargile, Rev. Sims and Rev. Cooper. Miss Delanie and a company of ladies visited the college last week. Miss Delanie is enroute to Africa where she is to be a missionary under the auspices of the National Baptist Convention. She is a Spellmaner. Mrs Fickland of New Jersey came by to see her son William who is attending the college. She comes south to visit her relatives. Col. Mercer has not.fied President Wright that free admission has been granted the.advanced students to visit the Telfair Art Academy. This is a rare opportunity, and the students will enjoy it. The frame work of the roof of the new domitory has been finished. They are now getting ready for the tinner. Mr. J. H. Clark is the new president of the Philosophian Society, Mr. A. L Taylor, president of the Phi Kappa, and Miss Ida Morant of the Phyllis Wheatley. These new officers are hustling to keep their separate society up to to the record. Plans are being laid to make the coming commencement a record breaker. Let everybody get ready to come and hear the noted speaker of the occasion. Instructors Howard, Thompson, and Himes are getting ready for their changes—whatever that may mean. Our Mr. Travis went off "some where" to spend the Sabbath. He reports a good time. He is a Georgian to the "manor born." Instructor Cobb is a "mourner" at the revival that is being powerfully conducted by Rev. Carr at the F. A. B. Church. He is enjoying the exercise—Instr Cobb is—The young men of the College band and their immediate friends of both sexes gave themselves a "good time" last Friday night. The entertainment was a record breaker. Some of the young men, who fell on the outside of the breast work "cut" the affair in the interest of Sunday school mass meeting. The spring examinations are ap proaching and the students are happy again. President Wright and the teachers are receiving more applications for teachers than they can fill. The people of this section are looking more and more this way for light and help in such matters. Locals. Mr J. W. Boulneau was in to see us on Saturday. He is much pleased with THE TRIBUNE. Mrs. E W. Lloyd, accompanied by Mrs Jno. E. Kelly gave us a pleasant call on Tuesday. A fete will be given at Ford's Opera house next month for the benefit of the Old Folks home. Mr. J. C. Few of Thomasville was in the city this week on a business trip and called to see us. He is one our subscribers. Miss Beatrice Hazel accompanied Miss Wilhelmina Fields, and Mr. Jackins of Beaufort, gave us a call on Saturday last. We are indeed sorry to chronicle fact that Little Amabel Iona proe is suffering from a severe at- of scarlet fever. We condole the family, and hope that the one may soon recover. Her my disposition endears her to all know her and we are sure that y all sympathize. The series of meetings at the First B. Church during the past week have proved a decided success. Rev Carr is certainly doing good work. On Sunday night the church was crowded to its utmost capacity, every available seat being taken. The Brotherhood Union of which Mr. Samuel Mallard is president, attended in a body. The sermon was an inspiring one, and many went forward for prayer. A large number have been converted. All are invited to the services to-morrow. Miss Sadie Johnson entertained a few friends on last Wednesday evening in honor of her guest Miss Dora Junch, of Nashville, Tenn. The West End Quintette rendered some of their favorite songs, and the evening was pleasantly spent. Among those present were: Miss Dora Junch of Nashville, Tenn, Mesdames$usie Lee, W. H. Burgess, Georgia Sanders. Annie Young, Anna B. Kivers, Misses Claudia C. Punes, Laura Gaston, Saddie Johnson, and Mesrs. Jacob Williams, Wm. Reid, Lindsey Davis, Julian Batie, Thomas Jackson, Robert Evans, Henry Scott, and L. Campbell. Give Him Your Orders. Mr. Frank J. Hilton is soliciting for the Union Tea Company. This company deals in the best brands of teas and coffees. Mr. Hilton is anxious to secure the patronage of his many friends. He is one of our most deserving young men and everyone can depend upon what he promises. Those desiring to patronize him can leave orders at Major Royall's establishment on Oglethorpe avenue near Jefferson street. Prompt attention will be given these orders, and delivery made as wanted. The prices of these goods are as reasonable as are elsewhere, and everyone should give orders to Mr. Hilton.

It has been said the country that is best governed is the one least governed I believe that is true of the chapters of the Order Eastern Star. I think the Worthy Matron, who makes a careful study of the ritual the Digest, the Transactions of the Grand Chapter never forgetting the secret work, and who confers with the officers and members in regard to the Jessons incarcelated in the work and puts her best efforts in the rendering of the same, will have the best governed chapter with very little governing. It is well for a presiding officer when a correction is needed, to give it confidentially to the one needing it, and not in open chapter—never forgetting that words of appreciation, are like bits of sunshine through a cloudy sky—Mrs. Hattie S. Taylor. There are no doubt, Freemasons who could not make themselves known as an Entered Apprentice, much less a Master Mason some perhaps who have never raised the threshold of a Lodge of Master Masons since they were raised. What does such a Mason know about the aims, designs and purposes of Freemasonry? Does such a Freemason ever hear the call of want or the pitteous wall of sorrow? Does he remember that he was ever taught to whisper a word of good counsel into the ear of a falling brother, and into the most tender manner remind him of his faults? Has he not forgotten that he ever heard, or that he was instructed to contribute to the relief of a distressed worthy brother? Does he even have an indistinct recollection that he ever heard the words to relieve the distressed is a duty incumbent upon all men, out more particularly upon Masons? How are we as Freemasons, to discharge the solemn duties incumbent upon us unless we learn and know what our obligations to ourselves and to each other are? If ever Freemason in the world would qualify himself to discharge the solemn duties voluntarily assumed by him and would faithfully perform them "as means and opportunity would permit," the power of Freemasonry would be strengthened, its usefulness broadened, any its fame and glory enchanced measurably. Important moral duties are imposed upon Master Masons and unless we fully inform ourselves as to the nature of these duties we are in no wise fitted to discharge them—W. H. Smythe, of Indiana. Nearer My God to Thee. "As a writer, as a poet there were few in the literary world of London [in the forties] who had not heard of Sarah Flower Adams, the gifted woman to whom all Christendom to day pays homage in its love for ner immortal hymn, 'Nearer My God, to Thee'" writes Clifford Howard in the February Ladies Home Journal It was written in 1840, and has subsequently been set to music by Eliza Flower, and included in a collection of hymns written and composed by the two sisters. Only within that year had their book of 'Hymns and Anthems' been published, and the hymn that was destined to inspire the world had been heard but once or twice, and within the walls of a single church—South Palace Chapel, London "It was not, however, until after the year 1860, when the present well known tune was composed for it by Dr. Lowell Mason, of New York, that the hymn attained its widespread popularity. Up to that time it had attracted but little notice. Through the spirit of Dr. Mason's sympathetic music it was quickened into glorious life and brought with in the reach of every congregation and every soul. But this was long after the author of the hymn had passed away. She died in 1848, without knowing of the triumph and the glory that awaited her. Her grave in the little village of her birth is unmarked oy any monument to her fame." AT THE SUGGESTION of a friend; about three months ago, I bought a bottle of Frank's Rheumatic Cure for $1.50, and after taking a quarter of the bottle I was entirely cured.

Every Spring it is noticeable how many people are taken away that we have been accustomed to see in our daily life. Statistics show that at no other season of the year does so many deaths occur. Especially large is the mortality among weak and sickly people. The reason for this is apparent. The body that is weakened by age or disease has much to contend with during the Winter months. Insufficient exercise frequently has been taken. Too much starchy and fatty foods have been eaten. The system has been allowed to become run down, and when Spring comes with its bright, sunshine days, older people will begin to realize that their vitality has' become very low. The same thing is true of people who are naturally sickly and weak. This is the season of the year when even a strong person feels at his worst. That tired, restless feeling is experienced by too many. There need not be as many deaths this year as usually take place. A little care will ward off many Spring funerals. If one is weak or alling they should take time by the forelock and take Dr. Groene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. This great medicine has been in many cases, and will continue to be, the means by which the black angel of Death has been driven from the threshold. It dispels the grim destroyer in a scientific way, for it purifies the blood and gives strength and vitality to the nerves. It tones up and restores to a healthy condition all of the great life-giving organs of the body. Dr. Greena's Nervura blood and nerve remedy will enable those who take it to throw off little lills that prove dangerous only when they attack a system already wasted and weakened. From many people, who have experienced benefit from this greatest of all life-lengtheners comes the following from the famous General Longstreet of 1217 New Hampshire avenue, Washington, D. C. He says: "It gives me great pleasure to add my testimony with many others for Dr. Greene's Remedy, which I have used with highly beneficial results and I am able to recommend its virtues from experience. I have used it for catarrh and have derived help." Mr. Wellington Hynes, Ellizabethtown, N. Y., writes: "I feel it my duty to tell how much good Dr. Greene's Nervura has done me. I was so run down that I could not sleep at night and everything worried me. I had no appetite and could not work, my head ached all the time and there was an all-gone feeling in my stomach and I was always looking on the dark side of everything. I began to take Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy and in less than three weeks I felt like a new man. I can now do as much work as is expected of a man my age. I advise any one who is troubled to take Dr. Greene's Nervura. Do not go to a doctor, but get a bottle of Dr. Greene's Nervura. It is cheaper than a doctor's bill." The latter part of Mr. Hynes's advice might be profitably disregarded, however, if you should feel you would like the advice of a physician. You can have such advice and have it free if you will write or call on the greatest known blood and nerve specialist, Dr. Greene, 35. W. 14th St., New York City. NONE TO IMITATL.

You hear these words every day; as often as you meet your friends just so often are these words repeated. More than likely you speak the same significant words yourself, and no doubt you do feel far from well most of the time. Mrs. Ella Rice, of Chelsea, Wis., whose portrait we publish, writes that she suffered for two years with bearing-down pains, headache, backache, and had all kinds of miserable feelings, all of which was caused by falling and inflammation of the womb, and after doctoring with physicians and numerous medicines she was entirely cured by O MRS.

WONDERFUL CURE OF PSORIASIS, AS a sufferer for thirty years from the worst form of Psoriasis, finally cured by Cuticura Soap and Cuticura. Ointment, I wish to tell you my experience, that others may benefit by it. I was so grievously afflicted that the matter that exuded from my pores after the scales had peeled off, would cause my underclothing to actually gum to my body. After remaining in one position, sitting or lying down, for an hour or two, the flesh on my elbows and knees would split, so thick and hard would the crusty scales become. The humiliation I experienced, to say nothing of physical agony, was something frightful. The detached scales would fairly rain from my coat sleeves. I have read none of your testimonials that appear to represent a case so bad as mine. But as to the cure. I commenced bathing in hot Cuticura Soap suds night and morning, applied the Cuticura Ointment, and then wrapped myself in a sheet. In two weeks my skin was almost blood red in color, but smooth and without scales. Patches of natural colored-skin began to appear, and in less than a month I was cured. I am now passed forty years of age and have skin as soft and smooth as a baby's. Hoping that others may benefit by my experience, and regretting that sensitiveness forbids me from disclosing my name, I am yours gratefully, Millions of People Use Cuticura S Millions of People Use Cuticura Soap Assisted by Cuticura Ointment, the great skin cure, for preserving, purifying, and conditioning the skin, and for many sanitary purposes, for stopping of falling hair, for softening, whitening, and healing red, and sorb hands, baby rakes, tithings, and chafings, and for all the purposes of the toilet, bath, and nursery.
