Published by The TRIBUNE PUBLISHING COMPANY. VOL. XVI CARTER'S STEALINGS Government Attorney Shows How "Swag" Was Divided. LIBERTY MUST NOT BE GIVEN. Prisoner's Petition For Release On Bail Is Given a Knock. Out Blow By Solicitor Richards. A Washington special says: Solicitor General Richards filed with the United States supreme court Tuesday a brief in opposition to the application for bail filed about ten days ago in behalf of former Captain Oberlin M. Carter, now confined in the United States penitentiary at Fort Leavenworth, Kas., upon conviction of fraud in connection with harbor improvements, etc., at Savannah, Ga. After reviewing the history of the case the solicitor general says in part: "The validity of Carter's conviction and sentence by the courtmartial which alone could try him for crimes committed as an officer of the United States army, in violation of the articles of war, has been sustained by three civil courts and five judges, not counting the court before which the matter is now pending for the third time. Carter now applies for the suspension of the just sentence of this lawful tribunal and asks to be released from imprisonment pending the hearing of this second appeal, upon the following grounds: "First; because he is suffering from neurasthenia and is on the verge of nervous collapse by reason of mental anguish, owing to his imprisonment. "Second, because he is innocent of the charges in which he was convicted by the courtmartial and the only way he can establish his innocence, so he says, is by pressing to trial the charges embraced in the Georgia indictment, which he asserts cannot be tried because of his absence from Georgia. As to the first ground the solicitor general submits argument tending to show Carter's sound mental condition and files with the court affidavits of five physicians who examined Carter and affirm in closing that Carter is not now suffering from neurasthenia; that he is not on the verge of nervous collapse; that his nervous condition is not greater than one would expect to find in a healthy person of Carter's standing confined in a prison. Affiliants further say that Carter is now physically and mentally sound. This affidavit is supplemented by affidavits from the warden and physician of the prison. As to the second ground for release on bail the solicitor general says in part: "Since Carter has dragged into this case the fact that he is under indictment along with Greene and the Gaynors, and has sworn that the criminal case cannot be tried because of his absence from Georgia and asserts that he wants to be released so he may demand a trial by jury in Georgia, and prepare for it, it is proper for me to call the attention of the court to the fact that if the criminal case cannot be tried without Carter, neither can it be tried without his conspirators, Greene and the Gaynors. Yet, ever since the indictment was found in December, 1899, the government has been strennously endeavoring to secure the removal of Greene and the Gaynors from New York to Georgia for trial. Mr. Richards says that the investigations of the government reveal the loss of an aggregate of $2,169,159. Describing the method of 'Carter's operations, Mr. Richar is says: "The division of the 'swag' was attended to by Carter personally. When the time came to make a payment under the contract, Carter, who, located at Savannah, had charge of the work on behalf of the 'government, would give to the representatives of Green and Gaynor, locally in charge at Savannah, a government check sufficient to pay for the labor and materials which actually went into the improvement, and then he would draw a government check for the excess of the contract, representing the 'velvet'—the fruit of the fraudulent conspiracy and putting this in his pocket," would go to New York. There he would meet Greene and the Gaynors. Then the division would take place. Carter would be specially allowed out of the amount $75 for traveling expenses and the balance would be divided into thirds, one-third going to Carter, one-third to Greene and one-third to Gaynors. In this way Carter drew out of the conspiracy $722,528.02 and of this amount the records of stock brokers in New York show that he invested in stocks and bonds $690,301.85. For his traveling expenses Carter received $575. He made 21 trips to New York on his mission and at the time was in excellent condition to be appointed to St. James. The Savannah DECISION FAR REACHING. High Court's Decree Regarding Divorces Causes Consternation In Many Quarters. As a result of the United States supreme court decision declaring invalid divorces granted in North Dakota state in which residence was not bona fide, there was a flood of telegrams received in Fargo Tuesday from those likely to be affected. It is believed that owing to the practice of rushing home immediately after decrees were granted less than 10 percent of the divorces allowed during the recent divorce period would be found valid if contested. But of those secured a large percentage were agreed cases, where appearance was made by both parties. Comparatively few had bitter contests, and only in these can the question of residence be raised. Many of the latter class, however, included distinguished easterners and foreigners. A majority of these have remarried and the decision of the court not only affects their present status, but the legitimacy of many children born subsequent to second marriages. This makes the court's finding far-reaching and creates great anxiety. Applicants for divorce have always been warned against abandoning their residences so quickly, but much of the trouble has been caused by divorce bureaus operated by unscrupulous local attorneys with branch offices in the east. A majority of the victims have been from New York, although New Jersey, Pennsylvania and the New England states are well represented. Notwithstanding that twelve months' residence is now required, there are a number of applicants in Fargo at the present time. PATRICK MUST ANSWER. Under Valet Jones' Testimony New York Attorney Is Held For Rice Murder. At New York Tuesday Justice Jerome held Albert T. Patrick for the grand jury on a charge of murdering the late Texas millionaire, William Marsh Rice. Justice Jerome, in his decision, said he was satisfied that the testimony of Jones, Rice's valet, was adequately corroborated "within the meaning of section 309 of the code of criminal procedure, by evidence tending to connect the defendant with the commission of the crime charged." William W. Cautwell, of Patrick's counsel, said that application in habeas corpus proceedings would be made in the case of Morris Meyers and David L. Short, who are in the Tombs in default of $20,000 bail on a charge of forgery in connection with having acted as witnesses to the alleged forgery of the Rice 1900 will. NOTICE TO FLORIDA VOTERS. State Democratic Committee Calls Primary For May 9th. The Democratis executive committee of Florida has issued notice to the effect that a primary election will be held in the counties of the first judicial district on the 9th day of May next, for the purpose of nominating a state attorney of said district. The district is embraced in the six counties of Escambia, Santa Rosa, Walton, Holmes, Washington and Jackson, and the call provides that if no person receives a majority of the votes cast at said primary a second primary will be held on May 21st, each of which will be participated in by the qualified white Democratic voters who reside in the first district. FOR COLORED TEACHERS. Course of Instruction Will Be Given at Georgia State Industrial College. The Georgia State Industrial college, the negro school near Savannah, is to make an experiment this summer. State School Commissioner Glenn has advised the president of the college, Professor R. Wright, that the school is to be kept open one month from June 18th for the advancement of colored teachers from all sections of the state. The funds are to. come from the Peabody fund. This is the first summer school for negro teachers ever maintained by the state and the experiment will be watched with interest. A REUNION FEATURE Will De Decoration of Confederate Graves By Memorial Association. The Ladies' Confederate Memorial association of Memphis Friday decided to have the annual decoration of the confederate graves in Memphis during the reunion, and the afternoon of the second day was chosen for the ceremony. A special feature will be an impressive ceremony at General Frost's grave on the first day of the reunion in the morning. A memorial exercise in honor of the president will be held in Calvary church under the auspices of the Confederation of Memorial associations which will then be in session. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. APRIL 20.1901. BLOODTHIRSTY JAPS Indications Still Point to Sanguinary Conflict In Orient. Japan Insists That Chinese Ruler Return to Pekin and Send Troops Into Manchuria. A cable dispatch from Pekin says: Komours Yutaro, the Japanese minister, accompanied by General Yamaguchi, the Japanese commander, called upon Prince Ching Sunday and notified him that the return of Emperor Kuang Hsu was urgently desired. Prince Ching was informed that the emperor's wishes would be respected by the foreign troops and that every courtesy would be shown him. It was pointed out to the Chinese plenipotentiary that the emperor's return was of the highest possible importance as affecting the maintenance of the integrity of the Chinese empire, and that he should come accompanied by every available soldier, by at least twenty thousand men if possible. The troops, it was further contended by the Japanese minister, must be sent into Manchuria, as the Russians reported great disturbances there and it was not right that the task of quelling the trouble should be thrown upon one nation. Finally, Prince Ching was assured that if the 20,000 Chinese troops could not suppress the disorders in Manchuria, other powers would send an international force to co-operate with China, which all the powers regarded as a friendly power. No reply having been received to this communication, Li Hung Chang was notified to the same effect and told that Emperor Kuang Hau must give an immediate answer. The preparations which the Japanese are making here for an early start indicate that they still expect war between Russia and Japan. Vessels arriving at Taku from Nagasaki report the mobilization of the Japanese fleet and the continuance of preparations on board ship for the anticipated struggle. Prince Ching says all his reports go to show that the missionary statements regarding a rebellion in Mongolia are not supported by the facts. Neither does he believe that the rebellion of General Tung Hsiang amounts to much. "It is the object of certain elements," he asserts, "to make it seem that China is in a condition of constant broil, rendering it unsafe for the foreign troops to be withdrawn. Those who have this in view will magnify a village quarrel into a big rebellion. The missionaries, naturally timid, take these reports in good faith." MINISTERS ARE CRITICISED. The conduct of the ministers of the powers over the negotiations with the Chinese plenipotentiaries causes much adverse comment among the military authorities. Their dilatory tactics have prevented what might have been accomplished two months ago. Even now the meetings of the ministers are postponed for the most trivial causes. For instance, the desire of one minister to go on a picnic to the tombs of the Ming dynasty prevented the holding of a meeting for a number of days. Then M. De Giers and other ministers insisted upon celebrating Easter, and thus a week was consumed. In a third case an unnecessary visit by one minister to Tien Tsin held up negotiations for four days. These are fair illustrations of what has been almost continuous from the beginning. Memorial services will be held by order of the court in honor of the members of the tsung-li-yamen who were executed last summer because of their pro-foreign sentiments—Hsu Ching Chien, Li Shan and Hsu Yung Xi. The staff of the United States legation has been invited to attend. Hsu Ching Chien, who was a man of considerable wealth, held at various times the post of Russia, that of director of the Russo-Chinese bank and that of president of the Chinese Eastern railway. GOVERNMENT WILL REFUND. Famous "Hat Trimmings" Case Compromised For $4,000,000. The famous "hat trimmings" cases, involving about $20,000,000 and which since 1884 have been the subject of a bitter legal battle between the government and a number of Philadelphia importers, have at last been settled. It is stated on high authority that a compromise has been effected through which the merchants interested will receive about $4,000,000 from the United States treasury in full settlement of the much larger amount they claim to have been forced to pay in excess of legal duties. Tribune. CUBANS ARE DEFIANT Convention Delegates Defeat the Platt Amendment. WILL HANDICAP COMMISSION Senator Spooner Declares There Shall Be No "Modification." Other News Items. A Havana special says: The Cuban constitutional convention placed itself upon record Friday against the Platt amendment by a vote of 18 to 10 on a resolution that the convention should declare itself opposed to the amendment "on account of the terms of some the clauses, and the way in which they are drawn, and also on account of the contents of others, especially clauses III, VI and VII." The conservatives assert that this action is embarrassing, inasmuch as it practically ties the hands of any commission that might be sent to Washington. NEWSPAPER MEN SENTENCED. Senors Torrel and Urriten, respectively, the editor and director of El-Estivador, the organ of the stevedores and lightermen, have been sentenced by the captain of the port of Havana, Lieutenant Commander Lucien Young, to thirty and sixty days' imprisonment respectively. They were charged with the publication of libellous articles intended to invite trouble among the dock laborers of Havana. At a late hour Friday afternoon both men were released. It is admitted that Lieutenant-Commander Young's court had jurisdiction in the matter of sentence, but he considered that his object had been attained in making an example of two agitators who, it is alleged, were at the bottom of the recent labor troubles, and who had been even more recently engaged in inciting another strike. The former strike was settled by a mutual agreement by all parties to regard the schedule of wages drawn up and published in the official Gazette, as the law, by El Estivador had been attacking the schedule as unjust, and calling upon workmen to resent it. NEELY TO SBLL PROPERTY. The legal authorities have granted permission to Charles F. W. Nesly to sell the brick yard and land in Havana standing in his name. The money realized will be turned over to the court and kept in trust until a decision is reached in connection with his alleged embezzlement of postal funds. SPOONER IS EMPHATIC. "Congress has defined the relations which shall exist between the United States and Cuba, and in my judgment it will not agree to any modification," said Senator Spooner, member of the senate committee on relations with Cuba, after a conference at the war department Friday with Secretary Root. "The terms offered Cuba," Senator Spooner continued, "are more in the interest of the island than that of the United States. I am confident that the mass of the people of the island appreciate the unselfish attitude of this government, and if they had an opportunity to declare their views they would unhesitatingly approve the relations as defined by congress." The attention of the senator was called to the suggestion that General Wood should dissolve the convention and issue a call for another, the people at the time of the election of delegates to vote upon the question of the acceptance of the Platt amendment. "I have seen that report," he said, "I know nothing about it. I believe, however, that the convention after further consideration of the matter will come to the conclusion that the wise course to pursue is to incorporate in the constitution the terms offered them." Another step toward the establishment of full civil government in Cuba was taken by the appointment by General Wood of Ernest Sterling as deputy auditor of the island. Senior Sterling has been discharging similar duties for some time past under Major Ladd, but is now re-appointed as a purely civil official. NEW RECRUITS DESERT. Soldiers of Fourteenth Cavalry Regiment Take French Leave. A special to the Chicago Tribune from Leavenworth, Kass., says: Many of the newly enlisted soldiers of the Fourteenth cavalry regiment, recruiting here, have deserted. The missing soldiers are nearly all young recruits and were from companies of the new regiment. Friday was their first pay day and the deser- ters came to the city, many boarding departing trains. The exact number of men missing is not known, but it is said to be in the neighborhood of 160. Subscription: $1.25 per annum; 750 for Six Months, 500 for Three Months; Single Copies 60. In Advance. Future of the Negro Seam Hopeless, Declares College President. The annual convention of the American Academy of Political and Social Science adjourned at Philadelphia Saturday night. The closing day's sessions were devoted to consideration of the race problem of the south and our newly acquired West Indian possessions. President George T. Winston, of the North Carolina college of agriculture, and Professor W. E. Burghardt Dubois, of the Atlanta university, discussed the negro question from opposite points of view at the afternoon session. At night Senator Platt, of Connecticut, and Charles M. Pepper spoke on the Cuban and Porto Rican phase of the race question. In his address, Mr. Winston said in part: "The two races are drifting apart. They were closer together in slavery than they have been since. Old-time sympathies, friendships and affections created by two centuries of slavery are rapidly passing away. A single generation of freedom has produced indifference, mistrust and prejudice. Unless a change is made the coming generation will be separated by active hatred and hostility. The condition of the negro is 'indeed pitiful, and his prospects for the future are dark and gloomy. There is no solution for the problem, unless it is dealt with from the standpoint of reason and experience without prejudice or fanaticism." WILL SEND COMMISSION. Cubans Now Agree to Withhold Expression on Platt Amendment. A special from Havanna says: At Saturday's secret session of the constitutional convention Senor Nunez asked that the convention either reject or accept the Platt amendment as the resolution adopted Friday was not a formal declaration and was misleading. The conservatives considered the resolution practically rejected the amendment, while the radicals and the radical press maintained that it did not, and Senor Nunez therefore asked that a yea and nay vote be taken. This was opposed by the radicals, who have always avoided taking a decided stand. The conservatives were pleased at the point, and as a split was threatened among the radicals, a compromise was offered and agreed to by the terms of which a resolution was adopted that the convention should not express itself either for or against the amendment and that a commission be sent to Washington to reach the best possible agreement with the president. This commission will not be authorized to settle definitely the question of the relations between the United States and Cuba, but will report back to the convention. LONGINO'S BAD BREAK. Considerable indignation is being expressed by confederate veterans and members of the Daughters of the Confederacy at Jacksonville, Miss., over a remark made by Governor Longino when the petition asking that the corner stone of the new statehouse be laid on the birthday of Jefferson Davis was in consideration. The remark in question was made to one of the prominent ex-confederates who was deeply interested in the selection of June 3d as the date for the ceremony, and, according to his statement, when the petition was presented Governor Longino is reported to have said: "I can't see what Jefferson, Davis has to do with this statehouse, and I'm getting tired of this ex-conferate rot, anyway." SEEKING VENGEANCE. Father of Burned Negro Aks For Prosecution of Mob. A special from Leavenworth, Kan., says: Alfred Alexander, father of Frederick Alexander, the negro who was burned at the stake for the alleged assault and murder of Miss Carrie Forbes and for the assault of Miss Roth, has filed information with the county attorney against a number of those participating in the burning and asks for a warrant for their arrest upon the charge of murder. Aloxander will ask for warrants for William Forbes, whom he accuses of setting fire to his son, one of the city officials and a policeman, who, he charges, assisted in piling the fuel around the stake and aided in the burning. TO BOOM MR. JOHNSON. Hoosier State Single Taxors Want Him as Candidate For President. The Indianapolis Single Tax Club has called a mass meeting to launch a presidential boom for Tom L. Johnson in Indiana. Resolutions will be adopted setting forth Mr. Johnson's eligibility for the presidential nomination. Carrlage Factory Destroyed By Fire. The carriage and wagon factory of A. C. Norman & Co., of Covington, Ga., was totally destroyed by fire Thursday night, many new vehicles being destroyed. The loss amounts to $3,500, with no insurance. NO 28. Appointment of Capers as District Attorney In South Carolina Starts Ball to Rolling. A Washington special says: Advocates of a white man's Republican party in the south received a crumb of encouragement from the president Monday. Among the federal appointments formally promulgated at the white house was is the name of John C. Capers, of South Carolina, to be attorney of the United States for the district of South Carolina. Under ordinary circumstances but significance would appointment of this however, said principle und action.

Mr. Capers is at press ant attorney to the attorn the department of justi gaged in the settlemen war claims in the court was appointed to his pr during the last Clevele tion while Mr. Olne general. When McKin Attorney General Mills by the legal ability ar Mr. Capers, and acco him in the public ser party. In the last year, pang he practically broke away from the Democratic party and went on the stump for McKinley in West Virginia and other doubtful states. For some time past he has been in frequent conference with Senator Pritchard, of North Carolina; Senator McLaurin, of South Carolina, and other well known southern men who profess to be interested in the formation of a white's man's Republican party. After a careful survey of the political field the president apparently concluded that Mr. Capers is well qualified to become an administration missionary to lead the new crusade in the Palmetto state. Mr. Capers is young, ambitious, has had some experience in politics, belongs to a distinguished South Carolina family and is the favorite son of the well-known Bishop Capers, of South Carolina. It is contended that the appointment of Mr. Capers may attract to the Republican camp many white men who have lingered in the Democratic columns because they would not consent to affiliate with a party organization which was composed largely of the colored brother. Inquiry at the white house brought out the fact not noted in the official bulletin, that Mr. Capers' appointment does not take effect until the expiration of the term of the present incumbent: Mr. Lathrop. TILLMAN TO FIGHT CAPERS. There will undoubtedly be considerable opposition to the confirmation of Mrs. Caper's appointment. It is well known that the Republican organization in South Carolina is united in urging the reappointment of Mr. Lathrop. Not only has he satisfied the members of his own party, but it is said that the legal profession throughout the state, without regard to party, has indorsed him for reappointment. In addition, it is said that Senator Tillman would rather see Mr. Lathrop appointed than any one whom Senator McLaurin might name. It is, therefore, probable that when the nomination of Mr. Caper's name before the senate for confirmation, there may be a battle royal between the rival senators from South Carolina.

SATURDAY APRIL 20, 1901. No premium whatever should be placed on ignorance. BLESSED is that man who when he sees the right fails not to do it. The man who consumes more than he produces will not live at it very long. Every young man should aspire to become the owner of a home and live like a model citizen. COMPETITION is an incentive to good work. It tends to sharpen all who comes in contact with it. The craving for good clothes and a "swell time" has sent many a person to the pauper's grave. This is a busy world, and if you would keep pace with the times you have no time for idleness and folly. As individuals we allow too many excellent opportunities go by whereby we could better our condition materially. Quality of "sticktativeness" is defined by every one. Any of this quality do not much. General colored men bring thriving businesses. Their num- creased.

We are more need of help than they are, yet doing nothing in that direc- case against the murderers of the Postmaster Baker and his has been dropped. The given that Mrs. Baker left. This is a very poor excuse failure of bringing to justice the brutal killing of a man. The southern democratic dailies are catching at straws and making a great ado about the appointment of Mr. Capers as district attorney for South Carolina, against the protest of the organization, stating that it is an inclination of the president to appoint no more Negroes to office. They are welcomed to all of the satisfaction that they can get out of this appointment. THERE is entirely too little reading among our people. Those of the opposite race are having the benefit of large libraries and they eagerly take advantage of it, thereby benefitting there store of knowledge. If it is necessary for them to do thus, why then it is more necessary for us. The reading of the proper kind of books and newspapers tends to broaden the mind and cause the reader to aspire for good and noble things. Some time ago we saw from one of our exchanges where a party of young women declared they would not marry a young man who did not own a home, or had a bank account of at least five hundred dollars. At the time several puns were hurled at them, but there is nevertheless much to think of in their declaration. No young man should become a beneficent until he is fully capable of taking care of a wife in a proper manner. To do this a home should be owned and there should be a handsome bank account. WHILE in New York, Gov. Candler was interviewed by the newspapers and he spoke glowingly about Georgia and about the decrease of lynchings in the state. He made the startling assertion that there were only a few lynchers in the state last. The governor paid a tribute to colored citizens of the state he said that "The abomina-tions of which lynchings are the not the work of Georgia are gross. These are commi-ncluded men who are, fagg- others tacts?" The Tribune o. Prejudice. In England and on the Continent of Europe so many dusky potentates from Asia and Africa and the islands of the sea have been conspicuous in important affairs that the prejudice against sombre complexions which is so deep seated in many of the cities of this republic is almost altogether lacking abroad. "Major" Taylor the Negro bicycle rider, was looked upon askance in many a town in this country, but in Paris he is acclaimed as heartily and greeted with as much enthusiasm as if he could trace back his ancestry without a break to the palest of the light haired Franks who overran ancient Gaul. Even New York, most cosmopolitan of American cities, lags far behind the capitals of the Old World with respect to the treatment of the races whose lineage may go rearward to the darkest of the Sons of Noah. What man whose features are copper tinted or umber or ochre can get a comfortable room in a fashionable hotel in New York or a good seat in a well known theatre? On the other shore of the Atlantic it is not the custom to balk at the hue of the skin, whatever it may be. Other things are taken into account, and at some time in the future the common sense, reason and fairness as to color which pervade Great Britain and the countries of the Continent will be accepted unreservedly on this side of the ocean.—New York Tribune. The attention of those who are lovers of right and justice are called to the case of those five men who are under sentence for the killing of the white men in Screven county and the others who are accused of the same crime. They have been convicted mainly upon the feeling that they were members of an oath bound society declaring death to the white man. To allow this charge to go out that colored men have oath bound societies with such a motto would reflect upon all of us. This charge is false in toto, and nothing can be found in the ritual of this nor any other institution among our people where anything is said detrimental to the interest of the whites. AND now the separate street car feyer has struck Columbia, S. C. The colored citizens can solve this question by separating themselves entirely from the cars. That is the way to prove manhood and at the same time crush out that kind of hatred. College Dots. The following very interesting rhetorical program was rendered on last Friday in Meldrim Auditorium: 1. "Dr. Puff-Stuff's Lecture on Patent Medicine, Mr. B. F. Lawton. 2. Cornet Solo, Mr. James H.

Negative, Misses Williams and Sengstacke. The negative won in a canter. The young men were simply "not in it." President Wright has returned from his Washington mission. He made a brief report of his statement to the school in a chapel talk. He seems to have made a good impression upon the Industrial Commission. Mrs. Henry Pearson is in training for a florist. She and the cut-worms are fighting a battle-royal. Our prayers are with her. The circulars are out announcing the Peabody Summer Normal from June 18 to July 12. Large plans are being laid for its success. Rev. Mr. Thomas' Sunday school pupils are preparing an exhibition drill which (judging from practices) will create a sensation in military circles. You just ought to see the new dormitory building replendient in its beauty and imposing in its proportions. Instructor Thompson and his boys deserve no stinted praise. Mr. Howard of the senior class is much depressed it seems. However, Florida is nearer than New York. There is a crum of comfort in this fact. Dr. Black, a famous linguist, addressed the students on Wednesday morning, upon the modern languages and how to learn them. Many of the students bought his book, and now the air about the campus is to be filled with German-French speaking people. Mrs. Glenn, the daughter of Rev. Mr. Thomas, accompanied her farther on his tour to his churches in McIntosh county. Subscribers, this is 1901. Please settle that old account with us. MASONIC COLUMN. A man's knowledge of Freemasonry can not be determined by his watch chain or other ornamentation of his person. Many of the fraternity who have received only the third degree, understand the general principles of Freemasonry far better than many of those who wear the Maltese or the Teutonic Cross. We know thirty-thirds and Knights Templar who are so ignorant of the Masonic ritual that they are unable to fill an office in the lodge, or visit unless some one is present to vouch for them. A thorough student of masonry is disgusted when he hears in answer to the question is he a Mason? "Yes, he is a thirty-third, or he is Knight Templar." Some day perhaps, nothing will do except the response, "Yes, he is a shriner."—Post Intelligencer. During the memorable raid that Grant made at Petersburg on the second of April, 1875, when Lee's lines were broken, a young Confederate officer lay on the road severely wounded, and when without a moment's warning, a company of Federal cavalry rode down toward him at full gallop, he saw death staring him in the face. His first thought was that possibly there might be a Mason among them, and he gave a sign of distress, known only to Masons. Then the Federal captain rode quickly to his side, dismounted, and parted the company in the center, without molesting the man in the least. He was quickly picked up, though a prisoner, and taken to the rear and tenderly cared for, and in the course of time entirely restored to health. Bro. H. W. Mason now a prominent physician of Rockmell, Texas, is anxious to learn the name and residence of the officer who saved his life in answer to a Masonic sign, and asks that this item be published in all the Masonic journals, hoping it may meet his eyes or some one who knows the occurrence.—Fraternal Record. The ironclad rule of "promotion in line" has gained in practice, to the injury of the Craft. More complaints come to us from the different jurisdictions in relation to this than from almost any other cause and the complaints are not confined to subordinate bodies but include the Grand Bodies. In our Grand Lodge we have broken up that practice. It is almost impossible to break it up in particular case, if generally followed: Our Grand Lodge therefore went to the root of the matter by making a Grand Warden ineligible to re-election as either Junior or Senior Grand Warden. It is true however, that we never elect a man Deputy Grand Master whom we do not intend to elect Grand Master in order that he may have notice of what will be expected of him; and give his attention to special preparation for the duties of the office. The system of rotation in office, whereby an officer in a lodge or chapter hold the office but a single year and retires to give away to the line behind him and without regard to whether they are qualified or not, is we think a more vicious one than keeping officers in office. too long Masonic office is for the benefit of the Fraternity, and not to honor particular brethren—Josiah H.

"The less you expect of your friends they will give you", writes Helen Watterson Moody of "The First Tragedy in a Girl's Life", in the April Ladies' Home Journal. "For yourself give as richly, as nobly as you want to—of your love and your confidence and your loyalty. Live up to your highest ideal of what a friend should be (and the higher you make that ideal the finer woman you will be and the more friends will flock to you), but never exact of your friends that they shall give you more than they choose easily to give. If some one you love disappoints you, and as many, many more will do in days to come, do not hold up your ideal of what they should be and do as a mirror in which to count their imperfections. Let it pass, if you can, with a little smile that may be sad, but need not be at all satirical. And never be jealous of a friend if you want to keep one. If anybody you are fond of forms other friendships, or seems to be engrossed with other friends, do not let it make you unhappy, and above all never offer comment upon her all too evident neglect of her old friends for her new ones."

He then made a trip to Liberia where he stayed a while, and returned home and worked at the locksmith and machinist's business, which he had acquired while at Boston.

America may well feel proud of the interest which her citizens took in the Paris Exposition and the elaborate exhibits which were prepared with consummate skill and displayed in a manner not exciled by any other country. Those of Harvesting Machinery in particular were most complete and interesting. The Deering Harvester Company, of Chicago, America's foremost manufacturer of this line of goods, was accorded the position of honor, having contributed more to the advancement of the art of harvesting than any other manufacturer, living or dead, and with a greater array of important inventions to his credit than any other company in the world. Visitors to the Exhibition were prompt to accord the Deering Harvester supreme honors, and if only remained for official mandate, to ratify the popular verdict, which was done in an substantial as it was well-merited. Each one of the seven Deering exhibits secured the highest award in its class. In addition to four high decorations, the Deering Harvester Company received twenty-five awards, or twenty-nine in all, as follows: Decoration of Officer of the Legion of Honor, Decoration of Chevailier of the Legion of Honor, Two Decorations of the Agricultural Society of Honor, The Agricultural Prize, Six Gold Medals, Six Silver Medals and Eleven Bronze Medals, including Deering Collaborator Medals. The Decoration of Legion of Honor was instituted by Napoleon Bonaparte when First Consul in 1802, and is only conferred in recognition of distinguished military or civil achievements. It is the highest distinction in the gift of the French population of Merite Agricole is an honor of but slightly less importance, which is conferred upon those who have contributed greatly to the advancement of agriculture. An Official Certificate of Honor was accorded the Deering Retrospective Exhibit, which showed the improvements in harvesting machinery during the past century, and excited the highest praise of the French Government Officials who had entrusted to the Deering Harvester Company the preparation of this most important exhibit. By special request this exhibit has been presented to the National Museum of Arts and Sciences at Paris, where it has become a permanent future of that world-famed institution. The Doering Twine Exhibit and Corn Harvester Exhibit, both of which received the highest awards, have by request of the French Government been presented to the National Agricultural College of France. There was no field trial, either official or otherwise, in connection with the Paris Exposition, but the most important foreign contest the past season was held under the auspices of the Russian Expert Commission at the Governmental Farm of Tomsk, Siberia, August 14th to 18th. All the leading American and European machines participated and were subpoenaed to the most difficult tests by the Government Agriculturist. The Expert Commission awarded the Deering Harvester Company the Grand Silver Medal of the Minister of Agriculture and Domain, which was the highest award. The Deering Harvester Works are the largest of their kind in the world, covering eighty acres and employing 000 people. They are equipped, with modern automatic machines, of which perform the labor of one of the fifteen bands. company is also the largest manufacturer under Twine in the world, having to produce single-strand binder tape as is in general use today, making third of the product of the entire. The output of its factory for a single would tie a band around the earth at the monitor, with several thousand miles to spare. An annual production would fill a freight in twenty miles long. Made into a mat two inches wide, it would reach across the American continent, making machines are known as Lloyd DALZS, consisting of Binders, Mowers, Corn Harvesters, Shredders and company exhibited at the Paris Expoe-fantomobile Mower, which attracted attention, and exhibitions were given of these machines in the vicinity of throughout the season.

First Corpse Cremated in Japan. Japan is the country in which cremation is practiced on the largest scale. In an interesting statement made to a hygienic congress, Mr. Yamane, chief police surgeon of Tokio, gave the reasons for this practice. The burning of corpses had its beginning in Buddhism, a Buddhist priest, it is said, having been cremated at Shinshu twelve hundred years ago. In 1876 police orders were issued regulating the practice of cremation, and to-day in the environs of Tokyo alone there are seven crematories. According to the authority quoted, cremation is accomplished in less time in Japan than in other countries. In two or three hours the body is completely reduced to cinders, and that without the slightest odor. Whereas in European countries there are seven or eight classes of funerals, there are in Japan but five, the prices of which range as follows: $5.40, $3.80, $2.80, $1.60 and 80 cents. At Kloto and Osaka, as well as in a number of other towns, it is estimated that two-thirds of those who die from infectious diseases are cremated, and of others two-fifths. In 1898 out of 38,899 dead, 21,943 were buried and 17,956, or forty-five per cent cremated. Philadelphia Record. "Nora, I can't get into the parlor."

A clean sweep of about a quarter of a million has been made by several English insurance companies. A gentleman who possessed the above amount did not agree with his relatives. Accordingly he purchased several annuities, but made a bad investment, for only a week elapsed between the purchase of the last annuity and the death of the gentleman. Thus the whole of the money goes into the insurance companies' coffers. His relatives get nothing.
