Published by The TRIBUNE PTBLIISHING COMPANY. VOL. XVI. REBELLION IN CHINA General Tung Fu Sian Raises the Red Standard of Revolution. WAR AGAINST CHINESE RULER Thousands of Regular Soldiers Join Ranks of Malcontents and Outlook Is Ominous. Advices from Pekin state that the rumors which have been current during the last few days of the outbreak of a rebellion, headed by General Tung Fuh Sian, the former commander of the northern army, in the provinces of Mongolia and Shen Si, have been absolutely authenticated. Li Hung Chang and Prince Ching have received information on the subject which, though indefinite, still proves that the court is seriously alarmed. General Fusian was according to last accounts about 150 miles from the court with 11,000 regular troops, all supposed to be devoted to himself. The court has about the same number of soldiers at Sian Fu, but it is probable that the troops of Tung Fu Sian are better drilled and better armed. It is said that the Mongolian rebellion was brought about through agents of Prince Tuan and General Tun Fu Sian. Li Hung Chang thinks there are about 5,000 troops in Mongolia and inclines to the belief that they have not joined in the rebellion. He does not think the court is in any danger, and thinks the object of Prince Tuan, who was last reported at Ning Hsu with 10,000 men, prepared to resist arrest, and General Tung Fu Sian is to create a diversion of interest in order to force unconditional protection of themselves. Unofficial Chinamon of intelligence regard the rising as most unfortunate at the present time to the interests of China, and as possibly meaning the use of foreign troops to protect the court itself. The ministers of the powers do not think that, provided foreign interests do not suffer, any present interference is likely. If the dynasty should be overthrown it would, to a certain extent, delay the peace negotiations, but they consider that a regime not bound by traditions like those of the present court would probably be much curtailed. Prince Ching, who, as a relative, may be considered to take the court view of the situation, thinks the rebellion is a storm in a teacup. He says the present court is loved and esteemed by nine-tenths of the people of China, and that the same proportion of able-bodied men in China would rise to protect the existing dynasty. The empress dowager, as the advisor of the emperor, holds the place in the affections of the people not dream of and not understood by foreigners. Her slightest wish is the emperor's law, though he is by no means the figurehead the foreign powers frequently suppose. The emperor recognizes her ability as an invaluable aid and advisor. The remaining bodies of Americans were shipped homeward Monday morning. They number fifty-four and left on board the transport Egbert. The Egbert also takes twenty-seven military prisoners, a number of sick men, the discharged soldiers, the teamsters and other civilian employees. LOUBET ZEALOUSLY GUARDED. Life of French President Said to Be In Jeonardy. A dispatch to the London Evening News from Paris says the French detectives were privately informed of a projected attempt to assassinate President Loubet during his coming trip. Extraordinary precautions have been taken everywhere and the usual police protection has been doubled. Outsiders have been excluded from the railroad stations. Ten thousand soldiers have been detailed to maintain order during the president's stay at Nice and stringent orders have been issued to rigorously suppress the slightest hostile demonstration. President Loubet is inlined to laugh at the detectives' fears that an attempt will be made upon his life. SQUABBLE OVER PRIZE MONEY. Claims Grow Out of Capture of Panama During Spanish War. In the United States supreme court Monday motions were filed for leave to take additional testimony in the case involving the prize money due on account of the capture of the Panama during the Spanish war. The district court for the southern district of Florida decided that the entire award in the case should go to the officers and crew of the Mangrove. The present proceeding is one in behalf of the officers and crews of the New York. JILTED LOVER'S DOUBLE CRIME. Slays His Sweetheart on Public Street and Then Ends His Own Miserable Existence. J. J. Arrington and Miss Minnie Cleghorn were found dead on one of the main streets of the town of Summerville, Ga., Tuesday afternoon about 4:30 o'clock. She was shot three or four times through the breast and lived only a few minutes. He was shot five times through the breast and died immediately. He had been desperately in love with her for some time, and they met on the street and had been talking for some time, and it is supposed she had refused to marry him, and he thereupon emptied one pistol at her, three or four shots taking effect, and then emptied the other one in himself, all five shots taking effect. Two pistols were found near them, Nos. 32 and 38 Smith and Wesson brand. She said to the first one who came to her: "Oh, why did he do it?" He was dead before any one reached them. They were four or five feet apart on the ground. Arrington was a young druggist and Miss Cleghorn was the daughter of Captain J. S. Cleghorn, a prominent business man. Miss Cleghorn had just returned from a trip to Florida and it was the first time she and Arrington had been together since her return. The double tragedy was an appalling one. The young couple had been walking together and when near the law office of John D. Taylor the shooting began. Just how the tragedy was brought about and what passed between them will never be known. The couple had been sweethearts for years and it is said it that both were deeply in love with each other. Miss Cleghorn's parents objected strongly, it is said, to their daughter marrying Mr. Arrington. Miss Cleghorn had finally broken the engagement on account of her parents' objection and it is presumed that the young man brooded over the matter until his mind became unbalanced. Miss Cleghorn was strikingly beautiful and was a social favorite in Rome, Chattanooga, Atlanta and wherever she visited. BOERS LOSE PIETERSBURG. As An Offset They Capture a Detachment of British Troops. Lord Kitchener, reporting to the war office at' London under date of April 8th, says: "Plumer has entered Pietersburg, with slight opposition. He captured two locomotives and thirty-nine trucks. He took sixty prisoners, capturing a seven-pounder and destroying 210,000 cartridges, 1,000 rounds of seven-pounder ammunition and a considerable amount of powder and dynamite." The capture Pietersburg is regarded as important. The place is the terminus of the Boer government since the evacuation of Pretoria. The northern railway is now in the hands of the British. According to Lord Kitchener's dispatch only one officer and one man was killed. The Boers evacuated the town during the night, prior to Plumer's arrival, after blowing up two trucks loaded with ammunition. Lord Kitchener further reports the capture of sixteen prisoners, fifty horses and the depot of war stores at Boshmanskop, Orange River colony. As an offset the commander in chief reports that a detachment of 100 men of the Fifth Lancers and Imperial Xeomany were attacked by 50 Boers to the northward of Aberdeen, Cape Colony, and that after several hours' fighting the British were surrounded and captured, with the exception of twenty-five, who succeeded in making their escape. CARTER ANSWERS CONNALLY. Convict Ex-Captain Scores His One-Time Private Secretary. The reply of Oberlin M. Carter in the suit of M. A. Connally, his former secretary and stenographer, for $2,500 for services rendered - in getting up evidence, securing witnesses and in other ways for the celebrated Carter courtmartial case, was filed in the city court at Savannah, Ga., Tuesday. While the answer is filed by Carter's attorneys, it is understood that it is practically the work of Carter himself. In it he scores the once "useful Michael" at great length. Practically every charge and allegation made by Connally as to services rendered, is emphatically denied. CASUALTIES IN PHILIPPINES. Lowest Estimate Places Number of Lives Lost at 50,000 Men. According to a New York Herald special from Washington, since the rebellion in the Philippines 50,000 men is the lowest estimate of the war department of the casualties sustained by the Filipino forces; 7,667 rifles have been captured or surrendered and 605,142 pounds of ammunition, as shown by incomplete returns, have been seized. The number of Filipinos killed can not be accurately determined, as General MaoArthur, in his dispatches states that it is impossible to be accurate on this point. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. APRIL 13 1901. DEMANDS ENORMOUS CLAIMS ASTOUND UNCLE SAM Officials of State Department Will Endeavor to Have Amount Scaled Down By Powers. A Washington special says: The state department has heard further from Mr. Rockhill, our special commissioner at Pekin, touching the effort making there to reach an agreement respecting the indemnity to be demanded from the Chinese government. Mr. Rockhill's principal effort, acting under direct instructions from Secretary Hay, to induce the ministers of other powers to keep down the total of their claims to the amount which the financial experts, headed by Sir Robert Hart, have decided to be within the ability of China to pay. The cabinet at its meeting Tuesday gave attention to the subject of indemnity to be required of China, it being brought forward by Secretary Hay in connection with Mr. Rockhill's dispatches received since the last meeting. Great surprise was expressed at the enormous total of the claims before the ministers at Pekin, which approximate half a billion dollars. Moreover, at least one of the powers insists on keeping the account open until it elects to withdraw entirely from Pekin at a remote date to be fixed at its own.will, thereby leaving the total of its claim to be increased greatly hereafter. The opinion of the other cabinet officers completely accorded with that of Secretary Hay as to the desirability of securing a reduction of the claims. CLAIMS TO BE SCALED. The United States government has felt that on no account should the total indemnity claim exceed £40,000,000, and has steadfastly sought to make that figure the outside limit of the claim. For itself, the state department claims $25,000,000 indemnity, and it has supplied Mr. Rockhill with data for the presentation of an itemized account showing the expenditures made by the government of the United States in the transportation of our military contingent in China, its maintenance there, and the just claims of the missionaries who were American citizens and suffered in property and person from the Boxer outbreak. In its anxiety to avoid oppressing China, and to procure a speedy settlement of the Chinese question, the United States government stands willing to make a heavy cut in its claim, provided the other nations represented at Pekin will abate claims in proportion. The administration is satisfied that the great danger of the situation at Pekin lies in delay. Had the representations of Mr. Rockhill deen heeded, the officials are confident that the formidable rebellion which has now broken out under the leadership of General Tung Fu Siang, in Shen Si province, never would have occurred. It is the hope of the officials at Washington that Tung Fu Siang's movements will stimulate the lagging ministers at Pekin to final action. If it does not, if the court is obliged to flee from Siran Fu, and the great Yang Tse viceroys are overwrailed by General Tung Fu Siang, as seems entirely probable, then all China will be plunged into anarchy, in the opinion of the officials here. KNOX TAKES OATH. Pittsburg Man Duly Installed In Office of Attorney General. Mr. Philander C. Knox, of Pittsburg. Pa., who succeeds Attorney General Griggs at the head of the department of justice, was sworn in at 10:30 Tuesday morning in the cabinet room of the white house. There were present, President McKinley, Mr. Knox'a youngest son, Philander C. Knox, Jr., and Justice Shiras, of the supreme court, who administered the oath. Justice Shiras is an old friend of the new attorney general. Mr. Knox and his son had arrived in Washington from Pittsburg at 8:30. CUBANS FAIL TO MEET. Many Delegates to Convention Shy at Platt Amendment. The Cuban constitutional convention did not meet in Havana Monday owing to the absence of Senor Capott, the president. La Luchn, referring to to the delay, says: "The convention is unwilling to accept or reject the Platt amendment. Three propositions on lines practically the same as the amendment have been rejected, but the convention refuses to discuss the majority report of the committee on relations, which is diametrically opposed." RUSSIA BACKS DOWN Czar Does Not Insist Upon That Manchurian Agreement. GOVERNMENT INFORMS POWERS Note Is In Line With Course Sugges sted By the United States. McKinley Is Gratified. A dispatch received in London Saturday from St. Petersburg says it is learned from a trustworthy source that Russia's diplomatic agents abroad were instructed on April 3d to communicate to the governments to which they are accredited an idea of photos in the same terms as presented by Count Cassini on Saturday. The text of the identical note, as it appears from news which has come to hand, is as follows: "That, in the present circumstances, as a special agreement in the Manchu-aria affair instead of being an open testimonial of friendly sentiments on the part of Russia toward China might entail various difficulties for the neighboring state. Russia does not in any way insist upon the conclusion of any such agreement and even abandons all possibility of negotiations in this government. Inasmuch as the imperial government ever adheres faithful to its original and oft-repeated program it will quietly await the furt course of events." WASHINGTON IS GLAD. A Washington special says: The termination of the Russian government not to press to a conclusion negotiations begun some time ago with the Chinese government in regard to Manchuria, has naturally given great satisfaction to the government of the United States. President McKinley is understood to recognize in this act of the czar another proof of his sincere regard for the harmony of the powers now engaged in negotiations in China and his determination to do nothing to impede the speedy and satisfactory conclusion of these negotiations. In his view it is an act worthy of the enlightened sovereign who initiated the conference of The Hague. The government of the United States is especially gratified by this termination of the late complication, as it has constantly been in harmony with that of Russia in all the main points of our policy in China. It is the belief generally entertained in government and diplomatic circles in Washington that no motive can be assigned for this resolution of the czar, as it was clearly within the discretion of Russia to pursue whatever course that government thought best for its interests, and it may be said with absolute certainty that nothing in the way of pressure or of combination has been put upon the Russian government to induce this result. It is true the government of the United States on the first of March made known its views of the matter and communicated them with entire frankness to all the powers interested. Has been made to Russia or to China. RUSSIA'S WORD DOUBTED. Russia's attitude toward Manchuria, as outlined by The Official Messenger, of St. Petersburg, is interpreted almost unanimously by the British press as capable of being condensed into a single sentence, "J'y suis; J'y reste" (I am here, I remain here), and there is no disposition to believe the matter is thus ended. The London Standard, which throughout has taken a moderate stand, declares that if Russia goes back on her promise now given as to the integrity of China and proceeds to assume in Manchuria the authority denied her by formal stipulation, she will have to confront not only the protest but the armed might of the energetic nation which, under the rule of the mikado, is conscious of its strength to aid the greatness of its destinies. Japan, the paper adds, will have the sympathy and support of nearly all the powers interested in the far east. SALLORS DIE ON EASTER MORN. A Coal Laden Vessel Is Dashed to Pieces Off Massachusetts Bay. Advices from Gloucester, Mars, state that the storm just before the Easter dawn threw on the jagged rocks of eastern point the old Calais two-masted schooner Hyena, coal laden, and within an hour the waves had torn her to pieces and swept off her crew of four men. Two of them, Elmer and Bennett Stanley, managed to reach shore, but her skipper, Captain B. B. Dix, of West Tremont, Me, and Steward Fuller, were probably killed by being dashed on the rocks. The two battered sailors reached Gloucester Sunday morning. Subscription: $1.25 per annum; 750 for Six Months, 590 for Three Months; Single Copies $6. In Advance. REDUCE COITTON ACREAGE. Georgia's Commissioner of Agriculture Gives Timely Advice to Farmers. In his monthly talk for April to the farmers Commissioner O. B. Stevens, of the department of agriculture, lays stress upon the importance of keeping the cotton acreage within proper bounds, advice which the farmers must heed if they expect to get high prices for their staple next year. At the outset Mr. stevens says: "The season of 1839 and 1900 was the best that the farmers of Georgia have known in many years. The cause of this prosperity is known to all. A large percentage of all supplies were raised at home and the comparatively short crop of cotton brought good prices. The United States statistician estimates the crops of Georgia for 1000 as follows: Corn, 34,119,530 bushels; wl eat, 5,011,133 bushels; oats, 7,010,403 bushels, and hay, 190,237 tons. The cotton crop was something over 1,200,002 bales. "The average prices for these crops were: Corn, 57 cents a bushel; wheat, 95 cents; oats, 40 cents, and hay, $12.75 a ton. The average price for the cotton was 9 cents a pound; but this does not include the good profit made on cotton seed. It is hereby to be hoped that the acres cotton will not be increased those who seek to run ice of our greet their at ten larger their at th good l the ich a agri-nt still with is ich the signs orgia is of hayased to $12.75 entire and battle.

One of the most interesting features of the monthly bulletin is a letter by State Chemist McCandless, in which he repeats the results of his analyses of Georgia wheats and with them presents a table of analyses made by Dr. H.W. Wiley, of the United States agricultural department. Both of these analyses, as Dr. Wiley admits in a letter to Dr. McCandless, go to disprove the statement issued by the department at Washington to the effect that "the poorest wheats are grown in the southern states." Dr. Wiley writes that the samples of wheat sent him by Dr. McCandless certainly make it necessary to modify that statement with regard to some localities in the south. Dr. Wiley's analyses bore out the results attained by Dr. McCandless all through. CASH FROM CONVICTS. Georgia Prison Commission Renders Quarterly Report of Receipts. The quarterly statement of the Georgia prison commission showing the receipts which will be derived from the lease of convicts for the quarter ending March 31st was completed Tuesday, and sent to the comptroller general. The statement shows receipts from the lease of convicts of $51,014.40 for the quarter, the largest amount received for any quarter under the present lease system. This is the first time the amount has ever gone over $51,000, or as high as that, and it is about $900 larger than the amount received for the quarter previous. The state takes in about $203,000 a year for the lease of convicts and the expenses of the system are about $120,000 annually, the clear gain to the state being more than $80,000. Thus in the last two years there has been turned into the treasury of the state from the convict system $165,-000 in cash, and if the improvements made at the prison farm be taken into consideration, the amount turned into the treasury may be considered $200,-000. HARRY TINDALL RELEASED. Gave Bond of 86,000 and Walks Out of kibb County Jail. At Macon, Ga., Monday Harry C. Tindall gave bond in the sum of $6,000 and was released from jail pending the hearing before the supreme court on the bill of exceptions filed by his attorney to the order of Judge Caudler, which directed that he be confined in the Bibb county jail for contempt of court for alleged embzzlement. NO 27. RAILROADS WIN OUT United States Supreme Court Decides Important Rate Cases. AFFECTS LONG AND SHORT HAUL Many Southern Towns are Left Without Relief--Steamship Cases Also Decided. A Washington special says: In the United States supreme court Monday an opinion was handed down by Justice White in various cases involving the long and short haul clause of the interstate commerce law. The principal opinion was rendered in the case of the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad Company, and the charge was to the effect that a lower rate was charged on freight carried to Nashville than was charged on freight to Chattanooga, the distance to the first point being greater than to the latter. The decisions of the interstate commerce commission, the circuit court and the circuit court of appeals were all antagonistic to the railroad company, though on different grounds. The opinion handed down Monday reversed all these decisions and was in favor of the railroad company, though without prejudice. The decisions in the other similar cases were on the same lines. GEORGIA STATE ROAD INVOLVED. Two other cases decided were proceedings against the Clyde Steamship Company, while the fourth was against the Western and Atlantic Railroad Company. In the latter case the charge of discrimination was made with reference to the rates from Cincinnati to Atlanta as against other places on the line of the road between the two points, including Marietta, Cartersville, Kingston, Adairsville and Calhoun. In one of the Clyde cases rates on the Georgia railroad are involved, and in the other case rates on the West Point and Western Railroad of Alabama. In his opinion in the East Tennessee case Justice White said that the decision of the circuit court was not in accord with the finding of facts by the commission. The decision of the supreme court was "the decree of the circuit court of appeals should be reversed, with costs, and the case remanded to the circuit court, with instructions to set aside its decree adjudging that the order of the commission be enforced, and to dismiss the application made for that purpose, with costs, the whole to be without prejudice to the right of the commission to proceed upon the evidence already introduced before it upon such further pleadings and evidence as it may allow to be made or introduced to hear and determine the matter in controversy according to law." CLYDE STEAMSHIP OASES. In the cases of the Clyde Steamship company, the decrees of the circuit court of appeals and of the circuit court were modified by providing that "the dismissal of the bills shall be without prejudice to the right of the interstate commerce commission, if it so elects, to make an original investigation of the questions contained in the records pertinent to the complaints presented to the body." As so modified the decrees were affirmed. The East Tennessee railroad case came from the circuit court of appeals to the supreme court and was first heard in the circuit court for the eastern district of Tennessee. The other cases were all first heard in the circuit court for the northern district of Georgia and came through the circuit court of appeals for the fifth circuit to the supreme court. FOR LYNCHING MEXICAN. Secretary Hay Turns Over to Dial's Ambassador a Check for $2,000. The Mexican ambassador at Washington has received from the secretary of state a draft for $2,000, paid out of humane consideration, and without reference to the question of liability, as full indemnity to the hairs of Florentino Suaste, a Mexican citizen who was lynched in LaSalle county, Texas, in 1895. RUSSIAN BULER ALARMED. Czar Callis Ministers Together and Discusses Public Affairs A special from St. Petersburg, Russia, says: The political situation is so serious that Emperor Nicholas held a meeting of the ministers Sunday to consider the state of public affairs. Threatening letters have been received by Lieutenant General Kourapskina, minister of war; M. Mouravied, minister of justice, and M. Sipangala, minister of the interior. It is reported that Prince Vladimiroky has been disgraced for politically the czar to consider the governor of the students. The Savannah Tribuné.

SATURDAY APRIL 13,1901. GEORGIA is entirely too penurious in its pay of public school teachers. In certain counties the amount received by these teachers is far below their living expenses. Competent teachers can not be secured at some of the salaries given. If the state wants a profitable return, it should not mind giving a living salary. The management of the affairs of many of the interior county school commissioners should be investigated, and much needed reform should be instituted. In this, and other southern states, investigation of the convict system has been and is being held. In many cases the most inhuman practices have been brought to light. The bulk of the convicts are Negroes, for that reason, but little sympathy is expressed at the disclosure of such inhumanity. While these convicts should be punished for whatever crimes they might have committed, yet that punishment should be meted out in a manner tinged with human feeling. SEVERAL of our churches are conducting special meetings and are putting forth extra efforts for the conversion of sinners. These efforts have been very successful. Men, women and children are renouncing their sins and enlisting for an uplifting life. The bringing in of so many persons into the membership of the churches should have a salutatory effect on the social life of our city; there is no reason why this effect should not be had. Such effect would be far reaching and very beneficial. THE president of the Georgia State Industrial College was before the Industrial Commission on Wednesday, the session of which is being held in Washington, D. C. In his statement, if the newspaper report is true, he declared himself as being against citizenship of the Negro, in that he should have been given "forty acres and a mule," at the time of his liberation from slavery, rather than given his rights of right ballot. We are not desirous of placing the president in a wrong attitude, but if he really said so, he has proven himself an ingrate of the most flagrant kind. The older Bishop Turner gets, the more inconsistent he grows. He has been a hearty advocate of the Negroes of this country emmigrating to the sunny clime of Africa, and wanted the government to fit up a steamer to transport them "bag and baggage." More recently he has acquired another mania; now he wants Africa to become the black penal colony of the United States, in that he wants all black convicts sent there. What does the government of Luberia think of this? Do these people want their country to be overrun with a worthless class of criminals? But, there is no use taking what the bishop has said seriously. RECENTLY there have been recorded criminal acts committed by many of our young boys in various parts of the South. This criminal tendency on the part of some of our youths is getting alarming and some remedy should be applied to thwart it. In all parts of the country the whites are organized for the saving and redemption of their youths. Youthful training of a practical nature is given to cause them to become useful men and women. Not only are the youths being taught the right way, but their parents, who have not had the privilege of knowing how to properly train them, are being informed on this line. Now if those of this race, who have had hundreds of years of advantages, are in need of instruction, how much more necessary it is for our parents to receive instructions on this line. Those of us who are in a position to help in this direction should not stand supinely and allow excellent chances to go by without making some efforts to benefit the needy ones, thereby placing our race on an elevating plane. We are not wrong when we say that a large per cent of our people like amusement and indulge in it freely. It is well that they like to amuse themselves, but it should be done in a proper way. Certain kinds of amusements are worse than no amusement at all. A very deplorable habit is indulged in by many who attend entertainments at the various halls, and that is to visit the saloons between dances and indulge in ardent spirits. This is done, not alone by the men, but by the women. At an entertainment at one of our halls on Tuesday night, there was a large attendance, mainly of young people, and there was a constant stream of them, females included, who invaded the saloons until late, or early hour. Many of them were girls neatly dressed and apparently of respectable parentage. And too, many of them were scantily cladded, having been dancing were heated, coming out in the cold air without extra wraps, are liable to be affected with serious complaints. Many of our young men and women think that they are not enjoying themselves if they are not drinking. The habit has caused the downfall of many of them. A sentiment, so strong should be created, as to forever break it up. The Georgia Baptist comes out this week against the observance of Easter. The Baptist styles itself as being among the orthodox—Savannah Tribune. Yes Colonel, The Georgia Baptist styles itself as being orthodox and in opposing the observance of easter by Baptist churches we give the evidence of our orthodoxy. We make no objection to the observance of easter by the Catholic church and its children. The Baptist church is not a child of the Catholic church nor has it at any time adopted the observance of pagan festivals. The truth is that none but the Catholics and Episcopalians are consistent observers of easter. They observe the lenten season of forty days of which easter without observing the lenten season, is a mockery. Baptists have no part in it. College Dots.

The alumnae were Miss Florence Fields and Miss Mary Whitmire. The elated students' names were x and y of the masculine gender—one senior and one third normal. Mr. Williams, whose daughter, Hettie, is a student in this college, spent Good Friday with us. There were several visitors on the campus. Among them were Miss Rebecca Houston and her baby sister, and one of her other sisters, Mrs. Robinson. A certain instructor is very sorry he did not see Miss Rebecca, however, he has her city address. Major Howard wears his new military honor with becoming dignity and not without modesty. The sophomores and juniors are talking Goethe's Faust—in English, however. They but little imagine what a task is theirs. A mastery of this "would know" or epic will give them a tuske the lke of which they have never had before. Here's to their success. Arbor Day Celebration. Arbor Day Celebration. The Barnesville Colored Union School Barnesville Ga., of which Professor L. L. H. Blackwell is principal, celebrated Arbor day on the 29th ultimo. The students under the direction of the principal and teachers laid off very tastely the walks and flower garden by setting out trees and other shrubberries. The girls flower garden was under the direction of Miss Ethel W Bisard. They planted a holly tree in honor of Phyllis Wheatley. The boys flower garden was under the direction of Miss L. Gertrude Maxey. They they also planted a holly tree and named it in honor of Frederick Douglass. The laying off of walks and planting add much to the school grounds. At night the school gave an Arbor Concert, which was well attended, and every one was much pleased with the interesting program which was executed. A new picnic ground may be established at an early date on the Styles land, Dale asynne. MASONIC COLUMN. M. W., W. E. Terry, Grand Master, Colt- bus. R. W., H. R. Butler, M.

No Grand Master on earth can make any man on earth a mason "at sight" or at any other period in all his life. He may confer titles, degrees, grades or orders by which he may wear the insignia of the Order but to make him a mason is an inward qualification and not an outward imposition. Each man who passes through its solemn ceremonies is "thereby the better enabled" if he applies himself to the everlution of the self-making process. We each of us are the craftsman who is to shape the rough Ashlar, by the use of the symbolic working, tools of Masonry into a perfect Ashlar of masonic usefulness. A man may become a "wise and accomplished Freemason" but no man can make another a mason.—Freemason and Fez. We are getting along nicely with our lodge, and are still adding more timber to the building and also in the Eastern Star. Bro. Wm. Williams is the Patron. We will soon have nice masonic hall. Under the management of our worthy Brother, we expect to have it completed in a few days. He has presided for us for number of years and had the pleasure of resign of his own accord as Worshipful Master of the lodge. Since Bro. Williams retired, he has gone to work and purchased a nice lot, having a hall for which he members appreciate very much. We get to learn that Bro. Williams is contemplating moving from McRea. He will be much missed in this section as well as in his lodge, so we hope he will decide to get himself a lovely wife and stay at home with us. If he stays he will do much good. So you all remember that this lodge has produced some timber and we want to retain Your brothers, F. R. Bradshaw, M. M., A. Hearin, J. A. Hill, A. Williams.—Vanderhoss Lodge No. 2, McRea, Ga. "College Bred Negro." The fifth number of the Atlanta University publications has recently appeared and is entitled the "College Bred Negro." It is an attempt to study the work of the Negro college graduates both North and South and to estimate the value and probable future of the southern college for colored people. In this report Prof. DuBois has presented statistics which fully indicate the value of collegiate education among the colored people. Careful students of the Negro problem will find this pamphlet a necessary part of this study. The March public rhetorical exercises were held in Wara Memorial Chapel on the 15th. The exercises were very good and well attended. The Athletic concert given by the Athletic Association March 18th was a great success. The music was very good and the recitations by Mrs Herndon and others were much enjoyed. It was well attended. All of the games during the foot-ball season were successful. No game of base ball has been played yet on account of the weather but a series of inter-collegiate games have been arranged, and it is hoped that they will be as successful. Rose of Sharon Society.

To serve Thee till I die, Whether my path shall lie 'Mid thorns or flowers. But, Lord, the flesh is weak; Thy gracious sid I seek, For Thou the word must speak, That makes me strong, Then let me hear Thy voice, Thou art my only choice; O bid my heart rejoice, Be Thou my song. May it be joy to me To follow only Thee; Thy faithful servant be, Thine to the end. For Thee I'll do and dare, For Thee, the cross I'll bear, To Thee direct my prayer, On Thee depend.

The following extract from a length by article in the well known publication "Chic," Cincinnati, February 23, 1901, regarding the recent trip through the South of a party of merchants from Cincinnati, who were sent by W. A. Hemphill, the head of the Atlanta Constitution, one of the most powerful papers below the Ohio, and one of the strongest speakers in that progressive city, was the spokesman for the Recep-tion of the Ohio capital, where the Ohioans were introduced to Governor Candler on the way home. {"Governor Candier," said he, "I am sure you will appreciate the pleasure that I experience when I introduce them, of meeting these distinguished gentlemen from Cincinnati-Cincinnati, the only trade and the road we built, to do business with us. I tell you that down, here in Georgia we all swear by Cincinnati and the Southern Road. It has been a great success, and there is a deal on for a new lease with the Southern Railway system. The only difference is that we now covertly含含ediously important matter in $150,000, now, Mr. Governor, you know the significance of the Southern to Atlanta, and what is your idea of this matter?" Furniture Emporium. 315 to 317 Broughton St., West. Furniture for the Parlor, Bed Room, Dining Room, Kitchen, etc.____ Governor. Candler with a smile upon his face, replied in the warmest manner, and said: "Why, in the closing of a deal that means so much to the future of both the South and to Cincinnati, such a sum should never be thought of. If it can't be fixed up any other way, we'll pay it back. But this he extended the freedom of the city and State to the Buckeyes. And this is but one among many striking remarks made upon the signal importance of the Southern Railroad in the affairs of the South. After making the trip, this fact was apparent to every one. All of the developing cities are on the line of the system that has been up the Southern to itsppenexcellence in the everydaymouth that the actual boom, this time the healthy and natural one—dated from the time of the consolidation of the numerous lines into the one company, and the masterly hand of Samuel Spencer, President, the thousands spent in terminal, depot, or other that would increase the facilities of the South. The leading men in all the cities who addressed the dinners and receptions, spoke at length upon the part that the Mobile had played in their growth. At Mobile the acting spirit has only begun to show, the citizens are singing peanuts of praise that the Southern has acquired the Mobile & Ohio, and is thus given an inlet that insures to that city the great help that it increases in manufacturing establishments is along its line, and it goes into the very heart of the most valuable sections of the South.

She speaks highly of our paper. We received a call from Mr. E. P. Small on Saturday last. We are always glad to see our friends. Mrs. Fanny Lawson returned home on Saturday last from New York on Steamer City of Augusta. Mr. Albert Jackson has been lying seriously ill during the week, but at this writing is much improved. Miss Mattie V. Houston and Mrs. O. A. McAllister were welcomed guests at our office on Monday afternoon. Mrs. E. W. Coleman of Jacksonville, Fla., who has been visiting her mother, and her sister, Miss A. E. Carson, returned home on yesterday. Mr. Geo. Martin of Boston, Mass., who has spent a few weeks in the city, the guest of Mr. and Mrs O. A. McAllister will leave for New York in a few days. Rev. Orner returned last Thursday from Camden county, where he conducted a most successful revival meeting at Sheffield for the Evergreen, Baptist church. The meeting was short but very effective twenty-six persons accepted the Lord Jesus by faith. The first operation at the Chairty hospital was performed on Thursday of last week by Drs. Williams and Lloyd. It was the removal of a cancer from the foot of a patient. The operation was successful and the patient was able to leave the hospital on Wednesday last. The G. E. Club will attend service in a body to-morrow evening at Beth Eden Baptist church where a special sermon will be delivered to them by Rev. D. S. Orner. Special music is prepared for the evening and a cordial invitation is extended to all persons, especially young men. The college boys and the I. P. C's. crossed bats at the College on Friday of last week. The game was both interesting and exciting, the I. P. C's, however still hold their record and won by a score of 7 to 4. Arrangements are being made to repeat the game on the 26th instant. As published in THE TRIBUNE last week many of the churches commemorated the resurrection by holding special services, along with the Sunday Schools. These services were in keeping with the occasion and were largely attended. Space forbids us giving a detailed account of the celebration at the various churches. To-morrow afternoon 3:30 o'clock at St. John Baptist church, Hartridge street, the pastor, Rev. Wm. Gray will preach a special sermon to young men, text 1st John, 2nd chapter, latter part of verse 14—"I have written unto you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have overcome the wicked one." No doubt this sermon will be a helpful and instructive one, and the public especially the young men are most earnestly invited to be present. Rev. Mr. Bright's Coming Lecture on Continental Europe. In 1899 the generous public of Savannah filled Ford's Opera House to listen to a lecture on the British Isles by St. Stephen's young and talented rector. Please as the audience was, however, it expressed a desire to visit the other countries of Europe with the reverend gentleman. In compliance with the request from many quarters Mr. Bright is busily engaged in preparing his second lecture which embrace Holland, Belgium and France, taking in such cities as Amsterdam, Delit, Scheveningen (Europe famous bathing resort) Rotterdam and the Hague, Antwerp Brussels, Versailles and "Gay Paree" (Paris.) The admission to such a lecture among white people would cost from 75 cents to a dollar but will cost us the modest sum of 25 cents. Think of being highly entertained for 25 cents from information that it cost hundreds of dollars to obtain. The lecture will be for the benefit of St. Stephen's church, a church whose members are always found aiding worthy causes, religious and secular; a church that is doing in a quiet way its share of good in the community, that resorts rarely to outside methods for raising money as the files of THE TRIBUNE can testify. The lecture will be illustrated with rich stereopticon views, and as Mr. Bright is a pleasing and entertaining speaker, the public at large would do well to attend. It has been years, since the city of Savannah has been stirred spiritually as it is at present among our people. The First African Baptist church led off with the Rev. Carr in a revival, then followed the Second Baptist and St. Phillips A. M. E. West Broad and Charles streets. At the First church about sixty persons were baptized on Sunday last, by Rev. W. G. Clark, and there is still a large number to be baptized on the first Sunday in May. At Second Baptist church, Rev. S. L. Johnson has been conducting a revival for the past four weeks. He is one of the most profound thinkers and speakers in the country. His sermons are never exciting, but in the plainest and most forceful manner he presents Christ to men. Indeed the service at this church has been a feast of good things to those who have visited. Each night the attendance has been very large and the interest manifested in the saving of souls has been intense. As the result of this meeting fifty-nine persons were baptized on Sunday morning last, and there are still a host of others. After the 11 o'clock sermon tomorrow morning there will be another baptism. Not only the pastor, Dr. Durham, and members of this church are loud in their praise of Rev. Johnson, but he has made the whole city feel the effects of his great effort to save men, and many of the hardened sinners have been brought to know the Lord. The meeting still continues. At St. Philips church Rev. C. C. Cargile, pastor, the meetings have also been interesting and helpful Rev. Cargile was assisted by the various pastors of the city. Among the converts at this church are many strong young men of the city, which we hope will be a great blessing. The meeting still continues. Rev. Cargile also baptized a large number of converts on last Sunday morning and administered the holy communion in the afternoon. On Monday night last, the revival at St. Paul C. M. E. church began. Rev. Bonner secured the services of the Rev. D. Samuel Orner, known as the great Western revivalist, to conduct this meeting. Much interest has been manifested during the week and it continues to increase. To-morrow morning the subject of the sermon is "The call of Jesus"; at 3 o'clock in the afternoon "Fallen Women," and at night "Unanswered Question." These sermons will be interesting and the public is invited to be present. The meeting will continue every afternoon and evening during next week. Cheerful Workers Club. On Monday afternoon last, at the residence of the Misses Coston, 500 Park avenue, east, the Cheerful Workers Club of the Charity Hospital was organized under the direction of Drs. T. Jas, Davis, and C. Brvant Whaley. The object of the club is to assist the physicians in their effort to relieve suffering humanity. The following is the list of officers and present members: Miss Izetta S. Coston, president; Miss Susie Lloyd, vice-president; Miss Mamie Dorsey, secretary; Miss E. E. McDonald, treasurer.

It took only twenty bottles of Dr. Miles' Nervine to brace me up and make me a well man again." J. W. Hill, Eureka Springs, Ark. es' Ne the irritation, quickens the infuses snap, energy and K. A woman is sick—some disease peculiar to her sex is fast developing in her system. She goes to her family physician and tells him a story, but not the whole story. She holds back something, loses her head, becomes agitated, forgets what she wants to say, and finally conceals what she ought to have told, and this completely mystifies the doctor. Is it a wonder, therefore, that the doctor fails to cure the disease? Still we cannot blame the woman, for it is very embarrassing to detail some of the symptoms of her suffering, even to her family physician. This is the reason why hundreds of thousands of women are now in correspondence with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. To her they can give every symptom, so that when she is ready to advise them she is in possession of more facts from her correspondence with the patient than the physician can possibly obtain through a personal interview. Following we publish a letter from a woman showing the result of a correspondence with Mrs. Pinkham. All such letters are considered absolutely confidential by Mrs. Pinkham, and are never published in any way or manner without the consent in writing of the patient; but hundreds of women are so grateful for the health which Mrs. Pinkham and her medicine have been able to restore to them that they not only consent to publishing their letters, but write asking that this be done in order that other women who suffer may be benefited by their experience. Mrs. Ella Rice, Chelsea, Wis., writes: "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—For two years I was troubled with falling and inflammation of the womb. I suffered very much with bearing-down pains, headache, backache, and was not able to do anything. What I endured no one knows but those who have suffered as I did. I could hardly drag myself across the floor. I doctored with the physicians of this town for three months and grew worse instead of better. My husband and friends wished me to write to you, but I had no faith in patent medicines. At last I became so bad that I concluded to ask your advice. I received an answer at once advising me to taked your Vegetable Compound, and I did so. Before I had taken two bottles I felt better, and after I had taken five bottles there was no happier woman on earth, for I was well again. I know that your Vegetable Compound cured me, and I wish and advise every woman who suffers as I did to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Believe me always grateful for the recovery of my health."—MRS.

The telegraph line now in course of construction from a point on Norton sound, Alaska, through the gold mine camps on the Upper Yukon river to connect with the Canadian landline system in Alberta province presents some curious difficulties to engineers. There being no wood in the country, steel poles are employed similar to those used for the trolley wires in Brooklyn and winter is selected as the season for work, because these poles can be most easily sledded over the ground and ice of the frozen rivers and lakes at that time. Even in summer the ground for a depth of twelve inches down is frozen solid, and in setting a pole the operation consists simply in blasting a hole in the frozen soil, sticking in a pole and pouring in water. This freezes, and, unless the climate of Alaska changes, will remain frozen indefinitely, holding the pole firmly and solidly. It is expected that this line will be in operation through to Cape Nome early, next summer.—New York Sun. FREE!

Officer of Queen Gets Her Cane. King Edward VII has bestowed an unusual token of recognition of services upon Sir Spencer Cecil Brabazon Ponsonby-Fane, a lifelong officer of Queen Victoria's household. The recipient of the King's favor, who is broken down by old age and is retiring to private life, was summoned to Marlborough House, where the King, in a few simple phrases of thanks for his loyalty to his mother, presented him with the cane with which Queen Victoria walked for thirty years. The old man's relatives say that if the King had raised him to a dukedom he could not have so kindled his pride or touched his heart. MANIFESTATIONS OF GRAY MATTER.
