Published by The TRIBUNE PUBLISHING COMPANY. Britons at Tien Tsin Have Clash With Czar's Representatives. DISPUTE OVER PIECE OF LAND Russians Stopped Work That Was In Progress, But British Officials Had It Completed. A London special says: Friction has arisen at Tien Tsin between the British and Russians over a piece of land alleged to belong to the railway company and to have been in possession of the company for some years. According to dispatches from Tien Tsin the Russians assert that this land is part of their new concession, and therefore Russian property. Mr. Kinder, manager of the railway, had begun to make a siding, but was stopped by the Russian authorities. He appealed to Colonel McDonald, who referred the matter to General Barrow, British chief of staff in Pekin, who replied: "Carry on the siding with armed force, if necessary." Guards were put on the line by the British, and the work continued. General Wegasak, the Russian commander, protested, and said the thing would not have been done if the Russians had had as many troops as the British, adding that such matters should be left to diplomacy. Colonel McDonald again communicated with General Barrow, who telegraphed: "Continue the siding." General Wagasak, very indignant, appealed to the Russian minister at Pekin, M. de Giers. The Pekin correspondent of The London Morning Post writing Saturday and giving details of the storming of a gate of the Great Wall by Colonel Ledebur's column March 8th, says: "The Germans captured the Chung Shun pass between the provinces of Chi Li and Shan Si, after seven hours' fighting. This result was brilliantly achieved by the Bavarian battalion, which marched 125 miles from Paoting-Fu in four days, through mountains and over difficult mule tracks. "The Chinese held an apparently impregnable position on the great wall at the highest part of the pass. They had several thousand troops and artillery of all descriptions. The Germans attacked them with 600 infantry and two howitzers. The turning movement over an impassable country occupied several hours and was completely successful. The Chinese fled in to the provinne of Shan Si, leaving at least a hundred dead and four hotchkies guns. The victory will have an excellent moral effect, as the Chinese believed their fortified mountain belt impenetrable." MORE HEADS WANTED. Advices from Pekin state that a general meeting of the foreign ministers was held Tuesday, at which the reports of the committees were heard. Regarding the punishment of the Chinese connected with the boxers, there is strenuous opposition against demanding many more heads, but a list containing the names of ninety-six minor officials will shortly be presented to Prince Ching and Li Hung Chang, urging that they be tried for complicity in the outrages and punished, when found guilty, in such manner as the Chinese themselves see fit, except in the case of six men, who the ministers think should be executed. The report of the committee on the general principles on which indemnity should be considered was adopted. Those claims, which are palpably unjust, will be disallowed. The police acted promptly after the girl's father had reported to them. Tuesday afternoon they arrested Geo. Abbott, Jr., seventeen years old, of Brooklyn. He admitted knowing Mary, said he had taken her out for a walk Sunday night and that two other young men had joined them, but declared that he knew nothing about her having been drugged, and denied that there had been any assault. He gave the names of the two other youths, and on Miss Paige's complaint warrants were sworn out for their arrest. - SAILORS ATTEMPT MUTINY. They Attack Commanding Officer of Revenue Cutter Ounandaga. An attack upon the commanding officer of the revenue cutter Onauadaga, the discharge of the quartermaster, Nil Olsen, of Baltimore, and the arrest of eight members of the cutter's crew is the story brought ashore at Norfolk, Va., Thursday from the vessel, which has sailed on a southern cruise. It is stated that because eight of the sailors were rounded up by the police of Norfolk Wednesday night, on the eve of the ship's sailing, by order of Captain Debart, the men because enraged and attempted a mutiny. The List of Tornado Victims In Tennessee, Kentucky and Arkansas Grows Heavier. A Memphis special says: Reports of damage by Saturday night's storm are coming in from the country slowly as the telegraph and telephone wires are being opend. Mail and wire reports to date indicate that no less than sixteen, and perhaps more, persons lost their lives in West Tennessee and Arkansas. Considering the velocity of the wind and the heavy downpour of rain it is a wonder that the death rate was not greater. Yet all of the small towns in the path of the storm have not been heard from. Around Forest City three people—J. A. Wooley, a planter, and Pinkney Watson and child were killed outright. The Wooley home was literally carried away and the inmates all more or less hurt. The storm was the worst that has passed through Gibson county, Arkansas, in years. At Covington, Tenn., Wyatt Smith, colored, was killed. Many reports of serious injuries all over west Tennessee and Arkansas are being received, and it will be several days before the full list of dead can be ascertained. The farmers have sustained a tremendous loss. Kentucky suffered greatly by the storm of last night and although there are no reports of loss of life, much property was destroyed. A special from Owensboro says there was a regular waterspout there and considerable damage was done. Cellars were flooded and gutter bridges swept away. The sewer well, at the intersection of Main and Davis streets, burst and there was a cave-in forty feet in diameter. In Clinton county several houses were demolished and several freight cars blown off the track. A number of negroes were hurt. At Paducah, in the Mason's Mill section of the country, eight miles from town, a storm overturned twelve tobacco barns, stables and outhouses, killing many valuable head of stock, destroying the Cumberland Presbyterian, Catholic and Baptist churches and crushing in three negro houses, filled with colored people. At Loudon the new residence of Tillford Jones was blown from its foundation and is a complete wreck. The Sue Bennett college was damaged between $800 and $1,000, and at Hickman the Baptist church was destroyed, also one drug store and numbers of tenement houses. Reports from over the state of Arkansas show that the storm was far greater than was anticipated. Thus far there are sixteen deaths reported. GROWTH OF THE SOUTH.

SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. MARCH 16, 1901. PORTO RICANS RIOT Trouble Arose Over An Extremely Trival Affair---Rabble Cried "Down With Americans." A special from San Juan, Porto Rico, says: A serious riot occurred here yesterday. At 6 o'clock in the evening five artillerymen and a corporal of artillery, named Hiscock, left their guard, post without orders and charged across the plaza into a street in which a mob of people had assembled. The soldiers fired a volley into the air, dispersed the mob and rescued School Superintendent Armstrong, who was besieged by the mob in a house situated about a block from the city center. The city had been overrun by a riotous crowd of probably 1,500 persons, who shouted, "Down with the Americans." The superintendent had reprimanded a ten-year-old girl for disobedience, and forcebly, but harmlessly, marched her to the front from the rear of the school room. Her dress caught in a desk and was torn, and the girl reported to her mother that she had been kicked and abused. This evoked sensational stories, and some of the school boys paraded the streets and were joined by many loafers and full-grown men. The superintendent and policemen who escorted him were stoned in the streets, and the Americans sought refuge in the Intendencia building. At 5 o'clock Governor Allen ordered the mayor to disperse the mob, notifying him that he should nsk for government assistance if he was in need of it. The mayor, however, ignored this notification, although the city police were powerless. At 5:30 p. m. the offices were closed, and Martin C. Brumbaugh, the commissioner of education of Porto Rico, asked for protection of his office and hotel. A treasury clerk, who was one of the men who ejected rioters from the Intendencia, was attacked, stoned and disarmed by a mob. The insular police were not called upon until 6 o'clock p. m., when the artillerymen mentioned took the initiative without orders. Meantime, the city police had fired about one hundred shots, mostly in the air, for there were no casualties. Several other Americans beside the treasury clerk were stoned from roofs and balconies. Corporal Hiscock has been placed under arrest, and probably will be tried by courtmartial. PROFESSOR IN TROUBLE. Indiscreet School Master Insults Farmer's Wife and Gets In Jail. An Atlanta dispatch says: "Professor G. B. Bird, who has been conducting a flourishing village school at Cedar Grove, twelve miles from Atlanta, was brought to the city Friday night and locked up in a cell at the police barracks on the charge of insulting the wife of Calvin B. Moore, a farmer of DeKalb county. Bird is a young men and is highly connected in the state. He has owned up the whole affair and affirms everything which Mrs. Moore has told on him. He claims that at the time he insulted Mrs. Moore he was mentally irresponsible on account of a dose of whisky and morphine which he had taken for neuralgia. GIBSON GETS TOGA. Montana Legislature Finally Elects Successor to Senator Carter. A special from Helena, Mont., says: "At half past 3 o'clock Friday morning, although the legislative clock testified that it was not yet midnight, Hon. Paris Gibson, Democrat, of Great Falls, was elected United States senator for the term expiring March 4, 1905. For almost the entire life of the legislature that body had, been voting daily for a senator, but with no result. After taking a few votes Thursday morning without indication of result, the joint assembly took a recess until 11 o'clock, at which time began the session ending with the election of Mr. Gibson. SCHLEY ORDERED HOME. Bear Admiral Is Detached from Command of South Atlantic Station. Orders were issued at the navy department Tuesday detaching Bear Admiral W. S. Schley from command of south Atlantic station and ordering him home for further orders, and detaching Bear Admiral B. J. Cromwell from command of the Portsmouth navy yard April 1st and ordering him to command the south Atlantic station, sailing from New York April 3d. CANAL MATTER DROPPED. A Washington special says: No step has been taken by either side since the delivery of the British note treating of the senate amendments to the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, and it is understood that none will be taken in the immediate future. The treaty expired March 5, and it is stated positively that at this moment our government is undecided as to whether or not it shall attempt to draw a new treaty with Great Britain. It is said that before anything of this kind is done the administration will take steps to learn the views of senators and the party leaders in congress. There will be no treaty submitted to the senate except upon a pretty clear understanding that it is strong enough to secure the vote of two-thirds of the body. It is said at the state department that the British communication will not be given out for publication for the present. A suggestion was made Tuesday that an international congress to be held in Washington might prove the best means of harmonizing the differences and bringing about a common ground of understanding. Such a congress, it was pointed out, was held to deal with the Suez canal problem, and out of it grew the Suez convention which controls the usage of that waterway. There is reason to believe that the project of an international congress at Washington would meet with favor from several of the European maritime powers, which have not up to this time taken a prominent part in canal affairs. On the other hand the idea of a congress met some opposition when informally suggested to diplomats who have taken a leading part in the canal negotiations. The Nicaraguan minister, Senor Corea, said today that he had no comment to make upon the rejection of the amended Hay-Pauncefote treaty, except to say that almost it was but a temporary check to the project, which was of such importance to the commerce of the world that differences would in time be arranged and the great project realized. The minister regards the present state of affairs as a sort of bridge which will lead the way to a correct solution of the problem, and he is hopeful as ever that the actual work on the waterway will not be long deferred. A dispatch from London says: The foreign office officials are nettled at the cabled statement that no opening is left for further action in the case of Great Britain's reply to the United States' notification of the senate's amendments to the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. It is pointed out that Great Britain's reply invites further proposals from the United States. Moreover, the foreign office understands that something of this sort is already contemplated in Washington. It is said that there is no desire on the part of the British government that the matter should be dropped. They confidently expect further negotiations, and hope for a satisfactory conclusion, though this does not lessen their insistence on the integrity of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty until both signatories consent to its abrogation. Lord Craoborne, the under secretary for foreign affairs, in the house of commons Tuesday, referring to Great Britain's reply to the United States' senate's amendments to the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, added that the British government was not engaged in negotiations with any other power. DRUGGED AND ASSAULTED. Sixteen-Year-Old Brooklyn Girl Victim of a Trio of Brutes. Unconscious and, the physicians say, dying, Mary Paige, the pretty sixteen-year-old daughter of C. H. Paige, lies at her father's home, Brooklyn, N. Y., the victim of assault. Since she was found Monday morning wandering in the streets, it is said she has been conscious only a few minutes, when she managed to gasp out that she had been lured to a livery stable by three young men, forced to drink a dragged drink and then assaulted by the three. Two Die In Collision. Two men were killed and eight others injured in a rear end collision early Tue-day, between a time freight and a stock train on the Chicago and Northwestern railroad at Arlington Heights, a suburb of Chicago. INCREASED HUNDRED MILLIONS. Stockholders of Pennsylvania Railroad Add Big Sum to Capital. The stockholders of the Pennsylvania Railway company at their annual meeting in Philadelphia Tuesday decided to vote on the question of increasing the capital stock of the company $100,000,000 and to take a vote on the classification of the directors. The stock will be voted on these questions on March 26, when the annual election will be held. The capital stock is now $151,700,000. The increase will bring the total to $251,700,000. Nothing was said as to the manner in which the stock will be issued. Subscription: $1.25 per annum; 750 for Six Months, 500 for Three Months; Single Copies 50%. In-Advance TORNADO IN TEXAS THE LOSS OF LIFE VERY SMALL Many People, However, Are Badly injured, and Several May Die. Property Loss Is Heavy. A terrible storm struck Wills Point, Texas, Saturday, killing four persons outright, injuring many others and destroying a great amount of property. Black clouds had been hanging in the southwest all the morning. The atmosphere was heavy and at intervals there had been blustering showers of rain. It was just at noon, when there was a long roar of rumbling thunder, a puff of wind and then the air was thick with flying timbers. The cyclone came from the southwest and held to a straight northeast course. Its path was about 300 yards wide. It struck the northwest quarter of the town, in the residence section. No house is left whole; those that are not left irreparably wrecked are in the minority. Most of them are demolished—mere heaps of debris, that offer opportunity for the junk man. Household furniture and utensils are strewn further than the eye can reach, and they mark the storm's path. East of Wills Point the country is dotted here and there with evidences of the storm's fury, and by the little mounds of wreckage its course can be followed to the Arkansas line. At New Boston and at Texarkana it seems to have left the state. At both these places, especially at the former, houses were considerably damaged. At New Boston two negroes were injured by flying debris. The recovery of one of them is doubtful. A number of small houses were wrecked. At Texarkana some damage was done on College Hill, a suburb, but it was of a minor character. (The westernmost trace of the storm is in Collin county, about thirty miles north of Dallas. Here the wind was very strong, but it did not develop itself into the strength of a tornado. Hail fell and it was followed by torrential rain. At one place where a measurement was made 1.35 inches fell in forty minutes. At Terrell the rainfall was extremely heavy and some damage was sustained. There was no one injured there. At Blossom no one was seriously injured, but the damage to residences was great. At and near Emery, Raiues county, one man was killed and several persons were hurt, two seriously. The storm was first reported from Uvalde, on the Mexican border, where a church was wrecked. Several towns between Uvalde and Wills Point report small damage, but it was not until the last named place was reached that there was tornado effect. The storm section extends into Arkansas, Louisiana and up the Mississippi valley nearly to Memphis in regions almost without wire or rail. Telegraph companies are finding it difficult to gather details of the storm, but enough is known on which to base estimates of property losses approximating $1,000,000 to the farming and other interests, and at least a score of people dead. Railroad trains to Dallas from the storm sections were badly delayed. Passengers report extensive destruction of property along the lines. Sunday Mayor Finney issued a statement on the Wills Point situation. He says nearly one hundred persons are entirely destitute and are being cared for by local authorities. A relief committee has been formed. HARRISON'S CASE SERIOUS. Physician Reports Life of Ex-President As In Grave Peril. A Minneapolis special says: The condition of former President Benjamin Harrison is serious. Dr. Jameson stated Sunday that the upper part of General Harrison's left lung was inflamed. There is some danger of the congestion extending to the rest of the lung and to the right lung. TO THWART RUSSIANS. United States and England are Having Secret Negotiations. A London Special says: A crisis has arisen in far eastern affairs, which in the opinion of the British government is graver almost than the troubles which originally turned the eyes of the world toward the orient. Secret negotiations are going on between the United States and Great Britain with a view to thwarting what both governments appear to consider a determined attempt on the part of Russia to plant herself permanently in one of the richest tracts of the Chinese empire. THE SENATE ADJOURNS. Executive Work of Short Extraordinary Session Brought to a Close Saturday. A Washington special says: After proceedings lasting only six days, the extraordinary session of the senate was declared adjourned sine die at 1:55 p.m. Saturday. During the session practically no business except of an executive character, was transacted. The session was called by the president in order that the senate might have an opportunity to confirm appointments made at the beginning of the new administration. The business accomplished, there was nothing further for the senate to do. At the opening of Saturday's session the president pro tempore, Senator Frye, of Maine, was inducted into office, the oath being administered by Vice President Roosevelt. Through a committee of the senate the president informed the senate that he had two further communication to make. Without ceremony the session was then declared at an end. For a considerable time after final adjournment, many senators remained on the floor of the chamber exchanging farewells. In his invocation the blind chaplain prayed that the fatherly care of the Almighty might be extended to the members of the senate about to separate and to all other departments and officials of the government. At the conclusion of the reading of the journal, the oath of office was administered to Mr. Frye. Mr. Simon, of Oregon, announced that his recently elected colleague, Mr. Mitchell, was present, and he requested that the oath of office be administered to him as a matter of privilege. On the arm of Mr. Simon Mr. Mitchell advanced to the vice president's desk. As they ascended the platform the galleries, recognizing Mr. Mitchell, cordially applauded him. The vice president sparply rebuke the spectators for the appl- Mr. Morgan, chairman mittee on inter-oee unanimous cons be appointed to sor, Mr. MoR committee it was an made be in cana. by Mr. J Bride, w cato of t' After tine but Friday of two: upon t.

The committee appointed to wait upon the president reported, through Mr. Hoar, that the president had informed the committee that he had no further business for the senate to transact. Mr. Allison then moved, at 1:55 p.m., that the senate adjourn without day. Amid handclapping the vice president declared the motion carried, and his gavel fell, thus ending the session. BELMONT SCOOPS SEABOARD? Report Is Current In New York That Road Is Under New Control. It is stated in New York that August Belmont has acquired control of the Seaboard Air-Line and devised a close traffic arrangement with the Louisville and Nashville railroad. In this new railroad enterprise Belmont & Co. represented a syndicate of Wall street bankers and the Rothchilds of England. The plan is said to have been completed the past week in a series of conferences at the offices of August Belmont and John Skelton Williams, of Richmond, Va., president of the Seaboard Air-Line. It is told that the plan to acquire the Seaboard Air Limo grow, out of the knowledge that if the Louisville and Nashville did not get control of it at once its rival, the Southern railway, would do so. Therefore, in the purchase the Louisville and Nashville takes a big amount of the securities, and close connection will be established between the two systems. PAYING GEORGIA TEACHERS. State School Commissioner Draws Warrants For $300,000. Georgia State School Commissioner Glenn has drawn warrants to the amount of $300,000 in favor of the public school teachers of the state for their January salary. This is the first the terchers have received their salaries so early in the year, it usually being the latter part of May before they are paid. But the money for the teachers, is now in the treasury and Commissioner Glenn will make their hearts glad by paying them nearly two months earlier than usual.

Advertising Rates given on application. A STATE reformatory for youths is badly needed. MANY of us should put our religion to a more practical use. THE Negro is passing through a crucible, though hard and cruel, it will benefit him greatly in the end. OUR young girls and boys are being ruined by a too often attendance at the various entertainments unattended. This should cause their parents to blush with shame. LAWLESSNESS against color-d men reign supreme in certain sections of Bryan county. Our white friends should show their race superiority by at least being law abiding citizens. A RECENT statistics of our people in this city credit the art preservative with only five artists. This is incorrect. THE TRIBUNE regularly employs three printers, with several apprentices, not counting the pressman. WIHTH the better class of our white neighbors winking at mob law, it is only the lower class that forms the mob, and many of them lynch colored men not on account of an outraged feeling, but simply to satiate that beastly instinct that is so rampant. EACH day we can see scores of our boys and girls going to ruin and nothing is being done to reclaim them. We are entirely too careless on this line. There are those of us who are constantly harping for race betterment, but are doing nothing practically, to make it so KEEPERS of convict camps are not aware that their per rata of their run short. They are not aware that the convicting fast which either the convictors are getting A campaign there were very Kinley. Better four years and giv- ing should ap population the event will accept.

MANY of our men who attend political meetings during a local campaign and make speeches, generally cause much harm by their unthoughtful utterances. Of course at the time such utterances are applauded by the attendants and the white men who are present join in with it, but there is always a time when these utterances are digested and then the reaction comes. Under all circumstances, colored men must be careful about their words and action College Dots. The college had a delightful visit Monday afternoon from Mrs. Turner and Mrs. Davis of Boston, Mass. They are connected with the Woman's Relief Corps of the G. A. R Mrs. Wright of the local corps, accompanied them. The school sang for them and they spoke for the school. Rev. Mr. Thomas, accompanied by his daughter, Mrs. Glenn, and two grandchildren, has returned from the wedding and the inaugural. He does not know which was the larger affair. He is inclined to think, however, that the odds are in favor of the wedding. His son as well as his president was inaugurated in a flood of glory. The members of the first year normal class are mourning with their class-mate, Miss Goode of Darien, whose mother died last week. The deed is done, and the candidates for graduation have delivered up their essays, &c. &c. The faculty is at work on them to determine "who shall and who shant." May the best men (and women) win. The tinners are getting ready to play their part on the new dormitory. That house is worth coming out here to see. A certain young woman of the graduating class told a certain (married) instructor that she had rather have a job of marrying than a job of teaching. She is sensible, and good looking withal.

Mr. Editor TRIBUNE. Dear Sir. Please allow the Grand United Order of the Sons and Daughters of Ezekiel, to put the world on notice that twelve men of this our city have found the Golden Key of the wonderful book of the Ezekiel, and has formed a Supreme Council and were granted a charter of incorporation on the 29th of Sept., 1900, by our Superior Court of this county. We are doing a good work along this line. This Order is high, noble and sublime. This Order gave its birth in the city of Savannah. Ga.

[Image of a man in a military uniform, holding a rifle with his left hand.] WYLEY SMITH. S. MARSHAL A. B. F. DUDLEY, S. I. W. PETER H. J. BECK, S. O. W. Reformatory work in Georgia for white youths has begun. Statistics tell us, that in Georgia, there are hundreds of black convicts in the penitentiary to every one white. Atlanta was all excited a few days ago over the audacious crime committed. The ministers took as their subject "Crime." One Rev Wilmer in his four suggestions said, "Immediate steps should be taken to establish a reformatory for Negroes." This was read with delight by right thinking colored citizens everywhere, for it is one of the steps and a glorious one by which the black man, who cannot be reached by the school teachers and preachers, could become Christianized and citizenized. It must be admitted, that crimes which are committed by those who have had no Christian home influence, if so, it was not rightly inculcated. We firmly believe that Georgia Legislature has in it Christian men; we believe Fulton County has in its council gentlemen who read God's word and have not forgotten that "Charity seeketh not her own," therefore while they build a reformatory for the white boy, in the name of Him, who is love, forget not that the black boy has a soul and is a part of the great south; if the white boy is reformed, Christianized, and educated, and the black boy allowed to roam as one, whom none careth for, he naturally will commit crimes, that the reformed white boy feels duty bound to revenge: hence when one black man is lynched by a mob of fifty, that simply adds fifty-one criminals to the list of doers of darkest deeds. Therefore we pray, that as there are hundreds of blacks to one white in the penitentiaries and jails, and the young are ninety per cent worse, when coming out from such places that in the name of humanity, in the name of the peace and the welfare safety and happiness of the south, a reformatory will be built for young Negroes. It will cost far less than penitentiaries and convict camps, a county or a state to know that its women and children are happy in their homes, and feel no fear of being molested by a heartless fellow is worth millions of dollars to any people therefore a reformatory for both races can bring this about. The Bible says "provoke not your brother to wrath" and just as sure as one class of criminals has been taught right living, he meets a class, even if it is black, who are vile and degraded, some effect will be produced; and for fear it will be a dangerous one, why not endeavor to make all good? May there be reformatories all over the South for all young criminals white and black. And may the Negro open his own business concerns, so that whenever these youths come out from the reformatory they can step into a black man's business house. The white boy has places waiting for him, the black boy must plough his own row. That accounts for the great number of black convicts. Penury and ignorance lead the Negro boy into vice; and for a petty offense with no intellect, nor money to get him out of trouble, he is sent to the penitentiary, to be made a hardened criminal, flandish enough to do the most horrible crimes on the weakest mortal. May God put it into the hearts of those who have the power to build also a reformatory for the Negro youths who must ever live, where he first saw the light of day, where his heart will forever cling in the paradise of the earth—the south. This is not the cry of one, but of a people who wants the crimes, such as are being committed by the doers and those who unlawfully seek revenge blotted from the events of the history of this glorious southland—Janie Brown Garnett, Brunswick, Ga. MASONIC COLUMN. MASONIC COLUMN. Several of the Lodges have failed to send in the names of their newly elected W. M. and secretary. By a letter received from one of the sons of Grand Myster Terry, we were informed that he is still very ill. The sympathy of the entire craft goes out to him, and many earnest appeals will be made for his recovery. According to the vote of the Grand Lodge, the last assessment for the W. and O. Home, is now due. Let all of the lodges rally and pay off this assessment. A few of the lodges failed. to pay the first assessment. These Lodges should be loyal and do so at once. Every mason should give the small amount for the grand work that it will accomplish. Drastic measures will be dealt the lodges failing to obey, and the sooner it is done, the better. Mr. Editor—Please allow me space in your column to report the progress of Gibeon Lodge No. 30. We are hard at work making improvement on all lines.

Therefore he it Resolved, that we put on record a few memorials of our love for her, and as a mark of love, let these preambles and resolutions be inscribed on a page and records of this institution, and a copy be sent to the family and one be published in THE TRIBUNE, that we in this feeble way express our heart-felt sympathy to the bereaved family.

OLIVER. IN MEMORY OF Mrs. Ann G. Boughes, Who departed this life, March 12th, 1900. At the regular meeting of the Ladies Charitable Workers, held on March 5th, 1901, the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted: Whereas it has pleased the Supreme Architect of the universe to remove from our midst our late sister and president, Mrs. Ann G. Boughes, and Whereas the intimate relations long held by our deceased sister with the members of this Society render it proper that we should place on record our appreciation of her services as a president, and her merits as a woman; therefore be it Resolved by the Charitable Workers that while we bow with humble submission to the will of the Most High, we do not the less mourn for our president who has been called from labor to rest. Resolved, that in the death of Mrs. A. G. Boughes, this society has lost one who was always active and zealous in her work, over ready to give succor to the needy and distress of the society; prompt to advance the interest of the society; devoted to its welfare and prosperity; one who was wise in counsel and fearless in action, and an honest and upright woman, whose virtues endeared her, not only to the sisters, but to all fellow-citizens. Resolved, that these resolutions be entered upon the Minute Book of this society, and that a copy be sent to THE SAVANNAN TRIBUNE and the Gazette for publication, and a copy be sent to the family of the deceased.

Mrs. Knapp tells of her Great Gratitude. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—I have received much benefit from using your Vegetable Compound and Sanitive Wash. After my child was born, blood I have been taken from using your Sanative Wash. After my child was born, blood poison set in, which left me with granulated inflammation of the womb and congested ovaries. I had suffered from suppressed and painful menstruation from a girl. The doctors told me the ovaries would have to be removed. I took treatment two years to escape an operation, but still remained in miserable health in both body and mind, expecting to part with my reason with each coming month. After using one bottle of the Compound, I became entirely rid of the trouble in my head. I continued to use your remedies until cured. "The last nine months have been passed in perfect good health.

Ghastly Truths Revealed on the Disappearance of Winter's White Mantle. the human. body so that it will become impregnable to the germs of invading disease. Deadly dangers lurk in the ground latt bare by the departing snow. All Winter long there have been accumulating deadly disease germs. To do this take Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. It will build-you up quickly, it will re-establish your waning appetite, it will give you restful nights of sleep, it will give vim and vigor to the nerves, and it will dispel all existing poisons that have accumulated in the body besides counteracting the effects of others that may accumulate. These have been protected and kept alive by the covering of snow and now, with the first warm days, these death-bringing microbes are awakened by the rays of the sun, and as the ground dries they are carried to all corners of the community in the dust that is blown everywhere by the Spring winds. The human body at this time is particularly susceptible to these germs, especially the germs of fevers. The system has been depleted by the foregoing Winter. The blood is sluggish and filled with impurities. The nerves have not recovered from the tension they have been under for the past months. The stomach, the bowels, the kidneys, the liver are all at their worst. Following is an instance that will illustrate the wonderful power of Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. Sheriff Jonas T. Stevens, who is sheriff of Hyde Park, Vt. says: "I have used Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy especially as a blood purifier. I had a very severe humor on my arms, accompanied by a very bad itching, so severe that I could not sleep nights, causing me great inconvenience by the loss of sleep by the itching. A friend advised me to take Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, which I did with the most satisfactory results, for the trouble has entirely disappeared, and I can now rest comfortably nights and have none of my former misery from the burning, itching sensations." It is, therefore, not strange that these germs of disease find fertile ground in which to thrive, flourish and develop into deadly ills. Spring is the time of year when one should fear an attack of fever, especially when the system is depleted, one should dread any severe illness. The vitality is at a low ebb. There is less power of resistance to throw off disease, and it is on this account that fatalities are so much greater during the Spring months than at any other time of the year.
