Notified of Rejection By Colonial Secretary Lord Chamberlain. A London special says: Joseph Chamberlain, the colonial secretary, informed the house of commons Tuesday that General Botha has rejected the peace terms offered to him. t General Botha, Mr. Chamberlain said, had conveyed the information in a letter to General Kitchener, in which he announced that he was not disposed to recommend the terms of peace General Kitchener was instructed to offend him to the earnest consideration of his government. General Botha added that his government and his chief officers entirely agreed with this view. Mr. Chamberlain said: "I propose to lay the papers connected with the negotiations on the table tonight." During the discussion of the composition of the Transvaal concessions commission, Arthur Basil Markham, liberal, asserted that the commission was made up of persons affiliated with several great South African companies. Mr. Chamberlain replied that while he was not to be influenced by South African capitalists, he was not to be precluded from using any man who happened to be connected with some capitalist in South Africa. The issuance of parliamentary papers on the negotiations between Lord Kitchener and General Botha is delayed. General Botha's refusal to accept the peace terms offered him is commented upon with an evident sense of relief. The idea that Lord Kitchener initiated the negotiations instead of General Botha, as had been supposed, is unpalatable to the British press. The Daily Mail under the editorial caption, "Our Rejected Suit," aks why the government instructed Lord Kitchener to sue for peace after the murder of the peace envoys and concludes as follows: "Let the war be pressed to the utmost, and let further reinforcements be prepared, for they may be needed, but above all, let us have no more 'negotiations,'" CONVICTS IN MUTINY. Far Down In Coal Mines They Seize Guards and Defy Officials. They Are Finally Overawed. In the Kansas state penitentiary coal mine at Lansing, 284 prisoners who went down into the mine on Monday morning mutined and for many hours held fifteen guards as hostages. They gave an ultimatum to the effect that they would refuse to let the guards return to the surface until Warden Tomlinson promise to give them better food and threatened to kill the guards if their demands were not complied with. The mines are run by the worst class of prisoners in the penitentiary and among those who mutined were twenty life prisoners. Warden Tomlinson refused to grant the request of the convicts. The insurrection was brought to a close at 11:30 o'clock Tuesday night, and the mutinous convicts were placed in their cells as fast as they could be brought to the surface. Shortly after nightfall the warden every available officer gathered at the mouth of the mine; each in heavily sed. Hunger had begun to tell upon the mutinous convicts, and they began to parley with the warden. They sent him word that if he would promise not to inflict punishment for their action they would surrender and come up. To this the warden would not consent, sending down word that the surrender must be unconditional, the question of punishment to be considered later. As the night wore on the warden held a consultation with his officers, and it was decided to attempt a rescue of the guards and also to overawe the convicts and force their surrender. Selecting his men, the warden, with seven or eight guards heavily armed, entered the hoist and were soon speeding downward. When near the bottom of the pit a heavy fusilade was opened, the shots being fired toward the top of the shaft. This took the convicts by surprise, and, thinking that the shots were intended for them, they hastily fled, leaving the guards, who were soon joined by their comrades, after which they were sent to the top. The guards then started after the convicts and soon had the ringleaders under arrest, when the others gave in and surrendered. The work of taking them to the surface then began. The Savannah Tribune. BOER WAR NOT OVER. Result of Armistice Not Yet Realized According to Dispatch From Kitchener. A dispatch from Lord Kitchener, issued at London Friday morning, is so studiously silent upon the subject of the peace negotiations that it leads to the conclusion that nothing has yet been accomplished of a sufficiently definite character to justify lending official support to the view that the war is over. Nor do General French's movements indicate a cessation of hostilities, although possibly, as no date is given, his captures were made previous to the granting of the armistice. Lord Kitchener's dispatch, which is dated at Pretoria, reports as follows: "Dewet has reached Sonekal on his northward progress. "French, in addition, to his previous successes, reports forty-six Boors killed or wounded, 146 taken prisoners and surrendered, with 200 rifles, 3,700 rounds of ammunition, 2,400 horses, 2,600 cattle and 400 wagons and carts, besides mules and trek oxen. "Methuen has arrived at Warrenton from Klerksdorp, bringing in prisonerons and cattle. "The weather is wet, delaying the movements of the columns." A dispatch from Pretoria, after noting General Dewet's arrival at Senekal, Orange River Colony, says that though he has only a small following, Dewet is nearing a district where he is likely to receive considerable reinforcements and probably intends to pick up roving bands of republicans who are ever present in the Dornberg and Koranna districts. General French, the dispatch adds, had been detained by swollen drifts in the Piet Retief district, but is now able to move again. Dispatches from Bloemfontein, Orange River Colony, state that prisoners who have lately been released by General Dewet say they think he is a madman. They aver that the terrible fatigue he has undergone, his anxieties and the intensity of his feelings have unhinged his mind. Apart from this view of General Dewet's mental state some of his peculiarities are that he rarely sleeps within the bounds of the camp. He seeks his rest outside, with a few trusted followers. Thus, the orderlies of his subordinate commanders are frequently unable to find him to receive orders. His secrecy is extreme. He absolutely imparts his plans to no one. General Dewet repudiates the peace negotiations which are going on. He has declared openly to the men under his command that no terms except independence will satisfy him. A recent utterance attributed to General Dewet is that after the British he hated the Transvailers. The whereabouts of General Dewet during the last two or three days is unknown, nor is it known whether President Steyn is with him. CUBANS NOT SATISFIED. Foreign Relations Committee. Will Not Accept the Platt Amendment. A special from Havana says: The committee on foreign relations held another private meeting Friday afternoon. Senor De Quesada, one of the members, says the committee agreed unanimously that the Platt amendment in its present form could not be accepted and that a report to this effect will be submitted to the constitutional convention. He also asserts that the committee is assured of the support of twenty-eight delegates. Monday the committee will meet again, when individual opinions on the question will be filed, to be incorporated later into the final report. The intention of the committee is not to make a final report for some time, but Senor de' Quesada declares that this delay will not weaken the determination of its members not to accept the Platt amendment as it stands. Dewey to Solourn at Alken Aiken, S. C., is preparing for Admiral Dewey. Information was received there Friday that the admiral's physicians had ordered him south, and he has chosen Aiken as his resting place. Alabama Village Burned. The-village of Comer, Ala., was almost totally destroyed by fire Friday morning at 4 o'clock. Nine store houses went up in flames, and only a small portion of the stocks were saved. $ ^{0} $ WINCHESTER'S MAYOR SHOT. Executive of Tennessee Town Fired On By a Man He Had Fined. A special to the Knoxville Journal and Tribune from Winchester, Tenn., states that Horace Brannan, mayor of Winchester, was seriously shot by a man named Shadow, whom he had fined. The latest reports indicate that Brennan may recover. He was shot immediately below the heart. General Harrison's Will Opened. At Indianapolis Monday the will of the late General Harrison was opened and read in the presence of the family. Nothing can be learned of the contents of the document. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. MARCH 23, 1901. BOTH TO WITHDRAW British and Russians Not Overly Anxious to Fight. London Press Declares That Diplomacy Will Be Able to Smooth Out the Friction. On the highest official authority the Associated Press representative in London is authorized to announce that the difficulty at Tien Tsin between the Russians and British over the construction of a railroad siding in territory claimed by both will probably be solved by the withdrawal of both the British and Russian troops from the ground in dispute. There is a disposition in London to think too much has been made of the Anglo-Russian incident at Tien Tein and a more hopeful view of the affair is now taken. This is aided by the statement contained in Dr. Morrison's dispatch from Pekin Monday to The London Times, which is taken to mean that the combined efforts of the interested powers are having the effect of causing St. Petersburg to check any tendency to undo aggressiveness on the part of the Russian representatives in China. The comments of the afternoon newspapers repeat the views of the majority of the morning papers, namely, that diplomacy will be able to smooth the friction. The officials of the British foreign office have not yet received official confirmation of Russia's alleged backdown in regard to Manchuria, Turkestan and Mongolia, and inquiries on the subject are now being made at St. Petersburg and Pekin. The British Foreign office is not relaxing its efforts to secure a more satisfactory statement of the intentions of Russia, but the officials deprecate the British press agitation on the subject. On all sides it is officially and otherwise said that Great Britain has not the slightest contemplation of resorting to hostilities against Russia, whatever may be the outcome of the present negotiations. A prominent British official, often the mouthpiece of the government, whose position makes it undesirable that he should be named in this connection, said Monday evening: "It is useless for our newspapers to use provocative language. They forget that we have a great army in South Africa and that we have no other army, nor the making of one elsewhere. It is impossible to go to war with Russia." A semi-official statement was issued Monday evening to the effect that the much-talked of assurances of the Russian foreign minister, Count Lamdorff, to Sir Charles Stewart Scott, British ambassador at St. Peterburg, were made February 6th and evidently referred to the Russo-Chinese agreement concluded at Port Arthur last November and not to the Manchurian convention. It is understood that one official view is that the dispute may eventually be referred to arbitration. WALDERSEE INTERFERES. The Times of Monday made the following announcement: "We learn that Count von Waldersee has interfered as commander in cheif of the allied forces in China to put an end to the mutually hostile attitude of the British and the Russian troops at Tien Tsin. There is no confirmation of this statement in other quarters, but it has an air of extreme probability and will be received by England with feelings of considerable relief. The Daily Mail, in an editorial which frankly faces a disagreeable situation, says: "We must admit that this is no juncture to risk fresh quarrels. Our armaments are inefficient, and our fleet in the far east is so weak that its position would be perilous. It is a painful process for the nation to have its face slapped, but until the country compels the government to put our house in order it is a humiliation to which we must accustom ourselves." TO SUCCEED GRIGGS! Philadelphia Is Thought to Be Slated For Attorney General. A report is in circulation in Philadelphia that John G. Johnson, a leading member of the Philadelphia bar and one of the most prominent lawyers in the country, has been offered the portfolio of attorney general in President McKinley's cabinet to succeed Attorney General Griggs. When asked if he had been offered such a position in President McKinley's cabinet he would not say. "I do not want my refusal to answer the question, however, to be construed as a denial that the position has been offered me." HARRISON FUNERAL Remains of Great Statesman are Entombed at Indianapolis. For Nine Hours Body-Lay In State In Capital Building and Viewed By Thousands. Surrounded by fully 15,000 of his fellow citizens, the remains of Benjamin Harrison were interred in the family lot in Crown Hill cemetery at Indianapolis Sunday. Close by the grave were the members of his family. President McKinley and the more intimate friends of General Harrison. Back a distance of fifty yards, behind ropes, guarded zealously by a large force of police, stood with uncovered heads the great multitude who knew him not so well as did they who stood beside the freshly upturned earth, but who honored him and admired him quite as much. It is doubtful if any public man, at least in this generation, has been borne to his last resting place among so many manifestations of respect. Of passionate grief there was little outside the members of his family, but the tribute of respect was universal. It came from all alike—from those of his own political faith and from those who differed with him concerning what is best for the nation's good; from men who have been his lifelong friends and from those who knew him merely by sight and to whom he had never spoken. If came from women and children, from white and black, from all conditions and kinds of people. There was no exception anywhere to the expression that the nation had lost one of its most able men and the greatest man of his generation in his own state. By the grave stood the chief magistrate of the nation, and behind the ropes were the street arabs of General Harrison's city; every grade of human life in America, between the two, was represented in the crowd, and among them all there was but the one feeling, that a man had died who was honest at all times with himself and others, and whose ability and character were such as the nation could ill afford to lose. The weather, like that of Saturday, was splendid—bright sunlight, the warm breath of spring in every breeze, and yet in the air a touch of winter that brought the blood to the cheek and a sparkle to the eye. The services at the church and grave were simple in the extreme, all in most excellent taste, and, like the proceedings Saturday, there was an utter absence of friction in everything that was done. All was well ordered and well performed. REMAINS LAY IN STATE. On Saturday beneath a canopy of black placed in the rotunda of the capitol building, the casket covered with the silken folds of the stars and stripes surrounded by thousands-of blossoms, while over all swung the great battle flag that flew from the warship Indiana during a naval battle off Santiago, the body of ex-President Harrison lay in state for nine hours. During that time fully 50,000 persons passed by the coffin to take a last look at the distinguished dead, and when, at 10 o'clock the capitol doors were finally closed and the people told that no more could enter, there were several thousand more waiting patiently in line. The body lay in state from 1:10 in the afternoon until 10 o'clock Saturday night, and not once during the hours was there a break or halt in the lines which passed rapidly by on the right and left of the casket. It was Indiana's day with her dead, and most touchingly was the esteem and honor in which General Harrison was held by his fellow-citizens revealed. In front of the Harrison home, along the streets through which the remains were borne on their way to and from the statehouse, in the lines that stretched at times a half mile from the doors of the capitol building, men, women and children stood for hours waiting their opportunity to pay a tribute of respect to the dead. BOCKEFELLER TAKEN IN. Interests of Multi-Millionaire Absorbed By the Great Steel Combine. J. P. Morgan & Co. announced at New York Monday that the Lake iron mines, railways and lake transportation lines owned by John D. Rookefeller are to be taken in by the United States Steel Corporation. It was reported in wall street that the capital stock of the new United States Steel Corporation will probably be increased by $100,000,000 and that this increase was made necessary by reason of the acquisition of the Rookefeller mines, and properties in the Lake Superior district.

Work of Preparing for Great Confederate Reunion at Memphis Proceeds Auspiciously. As the time approaches for the holding of the Confederate reunion in Memphis in May the activity of the many committees in charge of the arrangements increased. Captain T. D. Lawler, superintendent of hotels, acting under the reunion committee on hotels and accommodations, has finished a thorough canvass of the city and reports that he is well satisfied with the result of his work. The doors of nearly all the citizens will be thrown open during the reunion and all visitors will be properly cared for. A dozen or more selected rooms have been engaged at the Peabody hotel for the accommodation of General Gordon, General Moorman and division commanders. Arrangements have also been made for the proper reception of visiting sponsors and maids of honor. The finance committee is continuing its work and $50,000 has been raised for the entertainment of the veterans. A massive structure will be built on the river front to be used for veterans only. A grand pavilion will be erected at Fourth and Court streets and will be used for a grand ball given in honor of the visiting sponsors. Another feature of the reunion will be the presence of a United States warship. The gunboat Bancroft has been ordered to proceed to memphis and remain during the stay of old soldiers. Advices received at reunion headquarters from all parts of the south indicate that the attendance will record breaker. The railron's all agreed to a very cheap ra ly, one cent a mile, and t boats lines have named a ate tariff. The committee on ba given authority to des design, and the work greasing.

Retired Millionaire, Suffering From Bodily Ills, Suicides In Florida. F. H. Carpenter, of Ohio, a retired millionaire, who has visited Florida during the winter for a number of years, committed suicide at his winter home at Leesburg, Fla., Monday afternoon, by placing the muzzle of a gun under his chin and firing the same with his foot. The suicide was planned deliberately and his head was blown almost into fragments. Carpenter was about seventy years of age and had been a sufferer for some years of heart disease. For the past two weeks the suffering had been more intense than usual and people employed on his estate had noticed that he was losing his memory and that his mind generally was weakening. Mr. Carpenter owned two magnificent estates in Florida and a valuable place also on Lake George and had real estate investments in Jacksonville and other cities. In Ohio he owned property in several places, largely in Cincinnati. His body will be shipped to that state for interment. FOUR DIE IN FLAMES. Members of Uncle Tom's Cabin Company Caught In a Burning Car. At Olive, a station forty-five miles west of Missoula, Montana, Saturday, a special car containing the Ed Davis "Uncle Tom's Cabin" Company, was burned, four members of the company losing their lives—three musicians and the company's cook. The car was attached to the regular eastbound train due to arrive in Missoula at 9:30. Shortly after leaving Plains the car was discovered to be on fire in the sleeping apartment, and before the alarm could be given the whole car was in flames. NO.24. ARE READY TO FIRE NARROW&PACE SEPARATE THEM One Side or the Other Must Recede or Bloody Clash Will Ensue Over Trivial Matter. Advices of Tuesday from Tien Tsin, China, state that the excitement and anxiety as to the possible development of the Anglo-Russian siding dispute do not abate. A company of British troops and a company of Russian soldiers remain encamped on either side of the trench, looking at each other. The Russians have orders to fire on any one commencing work. General Wogack says the trouble was caused by the unwarrantable interference of the British in the affairs of the Russian concession, and he adds that the siding will not be continued unless he receive orders from his own superiors. Both sides will appeal to Field Marshal Walderse, but they both consider the matter to be beyond his authority and will await orders from Europe. Speaking of the attack made by a number of excited French soldiers on some members of the British sikh regiment in the French concessional Lorne-Campbell says it a childish outbreak against of their own general, who in the French soldiers tolish concession. Iron says there is no friche the French and British. Of Sunday was regretuased by a few excitable no connection whatever ling individual Frenchd in favor of the Russian concession with the land on is proposed to build the ing. ficial at St. Petersburg is allows: t true that Russia has yield-presentations of any of the modified her demands renchuria, because no rephave been made. Every tempt to address the Rus-ament on the subject of ourers with China has been cat-ly declined. Russia is a great er and has a right to hold negotiations with any other government, and no power has the right to interfere. Tentatives made in a friendly spirit, however, received a friendly answer. But, plainly stated, Russia cannot receive inquiries regarding the above pour parlers. The result thereof will doubtless be made known later." The informant of the correspondent of the Associated Press admitted that the power rebuffed was Great Britain. He ridiculed the talk of a military conflict at Tien Tain. He said: "If diplomacy is unable to settle the controversy, Russia is willing to submit it to arbitration, perhaps to The Hague tribunal or to some other arbitrator. After England captures DeWet perhaps she will have the courage for a military conflict in another quarter of the world. While he is promenading around the British forces it is hardly probable that England will seek trouble elsewhere." Some of the afternoon papers of London say the Tien Tain difficulty has been arranged. The misunderstanding was due to the Chinese granting the same concession to two nations. The arrangement enables Great Britain to proceed with the construction of the railroad, but if Russia's concession proves to be earlier than that of Great Britain the latter is to acknowledge the claims of Russia. The foreign office, however, has no information tending to confirm the announcements of an arrangement having been made, and the officials are rather inclined to doubt that such an arrangement has been arrived at. They say the original concession was given up by Russia. ALLEGED LYNCHERS COMMITTED. Judge Binds Over Certain Parties and is Denounced Therefor. Deputy Sheriffs Ashcroft and Seymour, and Ora Rolls, were committed for trial at Scranton, Miss., Saturday. Out of the eleven who were charged with the Knox lynching, Rolls was the only one admitted to bail in ten thousand dollars. The bond was afterward refused and the prisoner was sent to a distant jail at Waynesboro. The people at Scranton are furious. They will hold an indignation meeting at which Judge Woods will be denounced. And there are threats of violence to the court officers. SS The Savannah Tribune.

For the past number of years, es- pecially after each election much com meat bas been made upon the Negro about selling his vote, and the asser- tion became notorious; so much so that in many parts of the state, a white primary was adopted. By the adoption of this primary it was found that it was not only the Negro who told his vote, but white men also. Tn the recent city election in Apgusta, the election cust nearly $50,000 and it was positively asserted that if the Negro was allowed to vote, the cost would have been only one hulf of thatamount. The primary held in this city wasa revelation. It was the worst Gection ever held. Votes were bought outright and voters stood out for the highest bidders. ‘Of couree, colored voters were not allowea around the polls. ‘The election last week was nearly as bad. ‘The senti- ment ia now being changed. The selling of votes is not being wholly charged up to the Negro.

Ex- perience has shown that the primary 18 no improvement over the gerieral election. Unfortunately vote baying seems to be frequent in both cases and it is very evident to the lovers of pure elections and good govern- ment that the remedy for this has not been found. It was hoped that the white primary would eliminate the purchagable elemeat, but this has not worked as a full reform.

A number of students and teach- ers visited the ‘Telfair Aoacerny of ‘Arts last Thursday afternoon. They report a profitable and pleasant time. For the benefit of others who may desire to visit this academy it might be well to state, in a view of a cer- tain incident connected with the above visit, that this academy is Io- cated between State and President streete, and faces Barnard street. The band boys played “at” base ball Friday afternoon with or against the campus boys. It wasa fast and furions game. Several of the girls braved the cold wave to witness the performance. It was interesting and the band boys were defeated. President Wright announced Fri- day that steps were being taken to- ward organizing a summer school during the month of July. This is well, and it 13 hoped that at least 300 teachera and others will attend. The boarding department will be pened at a norminal fee. Large plans are being made, and success seems assured. *One of the young men stated as his reason for wanting to visit the art gallery that he expected to be an “orator” [sic.] One young woman went “any-how.” ‘The spring “exams” are on in full last this week, and’ the students e gpassed another mile-post en- om the Land of Ignorance— some of them have: others y thisway next year.

Two subordinate courts open into the Esplanade, known as the Court of Lilfes end Court of Cypresses. ‘The combined area of these courts Is approximately two and a half times the area of the courts at the World's Columbian Exposition and for this rea son gives a far greater opportunity for artistic treatment. It has been said of this Exposition that {t would outrival all former enter- prises In a number of important fea- tures. The first of these Is In the court settings Just described. The second 1s In the plastle ornamentation of bulldings and the elaborate use of sculpture for decorative purposes. As a third may be mentioned the bydraul- fe and fountain effecte. These are of & most elaborate character and are to be seen In all of the courts. A fourth feature ts the horticultural dec- orative work. Sunken gardens aod formal floral ornamentation will be em- ployed at every point where the bright colors of folfage and Sowers will add to the beauty of the scene. Asa fifth feature may be noted the color decora- tlon of the buildings” This is a very elaborate undertaking, the result of mature study upon the part of the best mural painters of the world. Consid- ered a very dificult, if not embar- rassitig, problem at first, it has been worked aut by patlent study until re- sults very pleasing and bappy have been achleved. A sixth point of excel- Tence will be the electrical tIlumina- tion of. all the courts, Then the bril- Mance of the gardens and the radiant beauty of the buildings will be height- ened by the glow of 200,000 electric Jamps arranged with artlatle concep- tion and tluminating with fantastic hues the numberless fountains and pools and turning the scene Into one of Unrivated splendor. ‘The style of architecture is what ts described as a free adaptation of the Spanish renaissance. It ts particularly appropriate for the purposes of an Exposition since it gives opportunity for the employment of many architec- tural features of a festive character. Thus the visitor may see many lofty towers and lanterns, graceful domes and minarets, alry pavilions and other decorative work that will produce a sky line free from any suggestions of monotony or severity. The Electric Tower, standing In a broad pool between the Court of Foun- tains and the Plaza, ts to be the center- plece for electrics! iNumination. This tower ts 80 feet square and S75 feet high, with cireular wings curving from the east and west sides to the south- ward and forming a semicircular space in which are to be many beautiful fountain features. From the southern face of the Tower a cascade will gush from a niche, 70 feet from the groynd, and fall upon a terraced base. At night this cascade and the fountains and pools ‘will be illuminated in fantastic colors. Floating lights upon all the pools will form an Interesting feature of the general scheme of ilumination Some 30 or more American sculptors of renown ayg at work upon thd deto- rative groups which are to have a place at this Exposition. These are to be néarly all original productions under the master direction of Karl Bitter. It will be the most elaborate use of decorative sculpture ever under- taken at an Exposition, there being more than 125 groups. These ‘ will adorn the fountains, bridges, entrances to buildings and other salfent points. Besides the poots and fountaius, with- ia the eeveral courts will be a grand and stately canal which will surround the entire group of bulldings. In the southern reaches of this canal are artiticial bodics of water known as the Mirror Lakes, from which lagoons ex tend In several directions, thickly set with aquatic plants of rare species. Ip addition to the gunken gardens and other floral featuies of the courts Will be the Lorticultur.4 exhibits in the southern part of tha grounds. These will'consist of several ueres of beds of the finest productions of the best nurs- eries ant! greenhoures of the western world. The competition for supremacy will be very keev and the lover of tow: ers will have a rare opportunity to make a comparison of the merits of the productions of competing growers. Mat Benxirr.

The victory of the Southern Railway Company before the railroad commission of the State of Mississippi is a splendid tribute to the showing made before the officers o! that railrond. The care grew ont of the purchase by the Sonthern Railway Company of the Mobile end Ohio Railroad, running north from Mobile to St. Lonis passing through Miss. issippi on its way. The cry was raised that the purchase vas vidiative of the laws. of competition, and that the ale should not be invalidated by the action of the estate ratlrcad commission, Before that body. it vos shown that the Mobile and Ohio did not parallel the Southern; that its north and south live croseed the Southern’s east and mest lines twice at right angles, and instead of curtailing competitions it really extended the competition of The Southern Railway an against other railwayw in the state of BLcsissippi. It was also shown that it had never been the policy of the Southern Rail way Company to cxrry dead ends or unwork- ed lines: that every mile of track was work- ed for all that it was worth, and that it was in shis epirit that the Sonthern desired to enter Misisippi., The plea was to straicht- forward ond convincing that the commission nnanimonsly dismisced its action against the Southern. ‘To the people of Georzin, to whom the working of the Southern system ig go well xnown, the action of the Mississippi em. mission is no surprise, Ten year ago the amii-ralyoad spirit in Gevzein ran’ very Kigh. Since that time the Southern, under the presidency of Mr. Spencer, lias denlt an fairly with the people,and has so promptlr met every local enterprise, that this feeling has completely dispppeared. Other rail- roads have co-operated, and past antagonism. has disappeared. This is true rot only of the political feature, but of the appeals to state railroad commissions on important is- sues, Mississippi, therefore, is to be congrats ulated upon its determination to encourage rather than to aatagonize the development in that state of the business and the brosd and liberal spirit of the Southern Railway. anhalente Constieuticn., Rates on Plant System Mi- leage Tickets in Flori- da Reduced.

Bowdre of such symptoms! A well known druggist, Charles W. Egeles-~ ton, 329 Park Avenue, Worcester, Mass, suffered from nervous prostra- tion and all its terrible symptoms. He writes the following letter telling what he knows js the best way to get well. “Some time age I was taken with nervous prostration, I suffered terribly with my nerves and could get no sleep at all. I became fearfully exhausted, my stomach was In terrible condition from dyspepsia, and I could eat hardly anything. “I used several medicines but with- out benefit. Being in the drug busl- ness-myself, and having had many customers speak in the highest terms of Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve remedy, I determined to try It. After taking only one-half bottle I be gan to feel much better. “T slept soundly at night. and my appetite was splendid. After taking three bottles, I ate three square meals a@ day. and had not the slightest dis- tress. My nerves were perfectly strong and I felt like a new man, being com- pletely cured of all my troubles. “Out of the respect I bear the manu- facturersof Dr.Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve remedy, and my desire to have the sick and suffering made well and strong, I unhesitatingly say that this ‘medicine is the best and most wonderful remedy known today. “It does just what is said of it, it cures disease. Don't hesitate to use it, sufferers, for you will never regret it. You will'be made well and strong.” As this letter is from a-dealer in Medicine, his word {s authority on such matters. Everybody knows that Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve remedy is the great leading medicine of the age. Take it and you will be made strong, healthy and vigorous. Doctors recommend it because it is the prescription of a physician, and because they know it cures. Dr. Greene, the most successful spe- elalist in curing nervous and chronic diseases, discovered it. He can be consulted free, personally or by letter, at bis office. 85 W. 14th St. New York ity. The Origin of the Compass. The origin of the compass is un- doubtedly to be ascribed to the Chi- nese, Who more than a thousand years B.C. made use of thelodestoneto guide their cars or carriages without the aid of the sun and stars. It is certain that they employed the magnetjc needle in thé navigation of vessels soon after the Christian era,, if not earlier. There is, indeed, every reason to believe that the mariner’s compass was not an original European invention, but was introduced from China. None of the early European writers speak of it as having been invented in Europe; and it is certain that the compass used by the Italians in the 13th century was constructed exactly like those made in China about the same period. ———— Porm Faxcixss Dres a0 not: spot, streak an appear- SE doe dregs oP ' ‘Carnegie believes in bei e lesoas ohio Ne Br allte: aad docs atte: fer the manifestation of his charity un- Gees ae ear aa ear . “Tn 1809 he gave away $9,000,000.

The peculiarities of flowers in color, form or smell haye given birta to poet- | fnucies about them which ave more remarkable for monotony of invention than for beauty of feeling. As agen- eral rule, flowers spring ‘from tears if they are white, from blushes or from blood if they are red. Lilies of the valley are in France the Virgin's tears; anemones in Bion’s idyl are the tears of Venus for Adonis; and the helen- ium, which, acoordingto Pliny, was supposed to have sprung from the tears of Helen, wes probably a white flower. Ifwe may believe Catullas the rose is red from blushing for athe wound it inflicted on the foot of Venus .38 she hastened to help Adonis. But if Stephen Herrick is right, who of all our old posts deals more fancifully with flowers, roses were originally white, till, after being worsted in a dispute as to whether their whiteness excelled that of Sappho’s breast, they blushed and ‘‘first became red.” This is very like Ovid's account of the mulberry fruit having been originally white, till it blushed forever after wit- nessing the tragedy enacted beneath it of the sad suicides of Pyramus and Thisbe. In German foik-lore the heath owes its color to the blood of the slain heathen, apparently in recol- lection of Charlemagne’s method of converting the Saxons, the two words being connected in thé same way as are pagusand paganus;for, ag in Latin the inhabitants of the country villages for from the Christian culture of the towns came to be called pagans, so in German the inhabitants of the uncul- tivated fields where the heath (or beide) grew came to be known as heathen (or heide),—Leslio’s Weekly.
