JACKSONVILLE FIRE=SWEPT Published by The TRIBUNE PTBLISHING COMPANY. VOL. XVI. ACRES OF BUILDINGS GONE One Hundred and Thirty City Blocks Wiped Out and Many Thousands are Homeless. The most disastrous fire in the history of Jacksonville, Fla., began Friday last shortly after noon in a small fiber factory, and burned for nearly ten hours. In that time a property damage estimated from $10,000,000 to $15,000,000 was effected. According to the city map 130 blocks were burned, many of them in the heart of the business and residence section. The estimates of houses to the block is ten, hence 1,300 of them went up in smoke. Many of the finest public and private buildings were destroyed, including hotels, theaters, churches and residences. The burned district reaches from Burbridge street on the north to the St. Johns river on the south, distance of quite two miles. The width of the desolated area is thirteen blocks. Within this space practically everything is blackened ruins. On Bay street, the principal mart of trade, the Western Union Telegraph company's building is the first going west. Everything east of Laura, on Bay, is gone. At 10:15 p. m. the fire was under control, having practically burned itself out. The suburban settlements, with the exception of La Villa, are intact. La Villa was badly hurt. Thousands of persons were on the streets homeless, with practically all of their worldly possessions upon their backs. The depots of the railroads, situated in the southeastern section, were turned into temporary lodging houses and hospitals. Luckily the weather was fine, so that there will be no suffering on that score. The fire started between the hours of 12 and 1 p. m., and was caused by the displacement of a bit of innocent looking wire which accidentally got into the shredding machine of the American Fiber company at the corner of Davis and Union streets. The fiber factory was a wooden shell, full of inflammable material, and in a few moments was a mass of flames. The wind, which was already blowing strong from the southwest, seemed to be possessed with a sudden fury and soon was carrying destructive embers all through the doomed city, the fairest portion of which lay right before the wind. Some delay was experienced in getting the alarm, and to add to the tragedy of fateful accidents, the engine at the waterworks suffered a mishap and nothing more than ordinary pressure could be obtained. By this time the flames had swept to the Boston store, a huge furniture establishment belonging to W. W. Cleveland & son, who were also proprietors of the fiber factory. It leaped across Davis street and took a course right through a section where block after block of frame buildings, mostly occupied by negroes, had been erected. Here is where the fire department lost its grip, as simultaneously in half a dozen places, some of them six blocks, were seen to burst out in flames. The wind rising higher and higher mowed down whole rows of buildings and attracted at first a crowd of curious sightseers, who seemed to be fascinated by the sight until they learned that their residences, too, were in danger of total destruction. It took just four hours for that resistless sea of flames to consume every building for a space of six or eight blocks wide, from Davis street, near where it started, to the Hogan creek viaduct, a distance of over one and one-half miles, and then not satisfied with eating the heart of the residential portion of the city cut, it doubled on itself and went roaring up the principal thoroughfare of trade, destroying everything in what was the original incorporation of Jacksonville. The government building, which caught fire at one time, but was saved, is the only pretentious building left standing. Grom the humble homes of the poor to the elegant residences of the well-to-do was but a short journey for the flames. After passing Bridge street, the first house to succumb to the flames was the elegant mansion of former Councilman Stansell. Then it seemed that wherever there happened to be a shingle roof on a building erected before the fire limits were extended, the flying embers found lodgment. Blocks away from the main fire other fires would break out. Right into the heart of the town the flames swept. The Windsor hotel and The Savannah the St. James, both of which are among the finest winter hotels in the south, were consumed in an incredibly short time. The opera house followed next, and then row upon row of elegant residences were offered up to the insatiable fire fiend. When the viaduct leading over the marshes of Hogan's creek to East Jacksonville was reached it was plain that the limit of the progress of flames westward had been reached. The hope of the people was that the worst was over, but, as far as the money value of the damage was concerned, the worst was to come. Just as the material for the flames was apparently consumed, a shift in the wind sent a roaring sea of flames southward toward the river. Then it was beginning to dawn on the minds of the unfortunate who had refugeged to the riverside that they were in danger of being cut off and suffocated. A rush was made for the South Jacksonville ferry, and hundred sought refuge on the other shore. Then came the most thrilling scene of the entire day. The flames caught the freight warehouses of the Atlantic, Valdosta and Western railroad and began from there on its backward march. Slowly but surely it ate its way against the wind, taking either side of Bay street until it reached Jones' boat yard. The wholesale grocery store of the F. & H. Dowling Company, Muller & Co. and dozens of smaller concerns were wiped out. While the flames failed to cross the open space known as Jones' boat yard, a new danger threatened. The flames swept down in the rear of the United States hotel, and that with the Law exchange was doomed. Meantime the county courthouse caught fire and another splendid edifice was soon a total wreck. From 'the United States hotel the flames again jumped across the street and the line of march was taken up again only to be checked when the last building near McCoy and Hogan's creek had been destroyed. Among the houses that had succumbed to the flames on Bay street wero the Mohawk block, the Gardner building, Furchgott's mammoth dry goods house, Benedict & Pollak's wholesale dry goods house. Christie Drug Company; McAllister, wholesale liquors, Cohen Bros., dry goods; R. D. Horsen, dry goods; Iseman & Skinner, wholesale grocers; I. E. Baird, paints; W. A. Bours, hay and grain; F. M. Dowling, wholesale grocer; Clauson, wholesale grocer; Florida Hardware Company; United States hotel: E. F. Clark's furniture house; Henry Clark, carpets; D. E. Cooper, furniture; Fettings & Reichard, furniture; Harkishemer, grocer; estate of McNery, wholesale grocers; Coleman, tailor; a dozen drug, retail grocery, millinery and other store; Sumner, wholesale butter and cheese store. The hotels destroyed included the Windsor, St. James, Placide, United States, Girard, Glenada and Oxford. During the time the fire was raging the entire population of Jacksonville was abroad. Most of them were engaging in fighting flames or in striving to remove to a place of safety their own belongings. Every wagon and cart that could be found was pressed into service and these, heavily laden with all sorts of furniture and personal property of every description, were passing in a long line across the river. The terrors of the fire were added to by a large number of drunken men. The authorities, however, sent around mounted police, armed with carbines, and the saloons were all closed, and the demon that was rapidly being aroused in a disorderly element was kept down. The military companies were ordered out, and the entire force of police, many man mounted, was on duty, their carbines slung across their backs. Looting was feared, and it was indulged in to a certain extent. The efforts of the soldiers and of the police, however, were in the main, successful in preventing scoundrels from taking advantage of the great disorder that prevailed on every side. PHILLIPS HOLDS HIS OWN. His Corner On Corn Forces Price Up to Fifty-Eight Cents a Bushel. A panic, the first one since Phillips cornered the market appeared in May corn on the Chicago board of trade Friday. Price fluctuations were the most violent in years. Having seen their losses grow heavier and heavier with each succeeding day, the traders who guaranteed to deliver May corn to Phillips made frantic efforts to get in. The price went from 55 to 68, $4 cents higher than its close Thursday a few minutes after the session began. Shorts surrounded the young bull leader and almost begged for corn. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. MAY 11. 1901. TO WITHDRAW ALL TROOPS. Plans are on Foot to Still Further Reduce Number of United States Troops in China. A Washington special says: There are interesting developments in the Chinese situation. Just as soon as proper transportation arrangements can be made all the United States troops will be withdrawn from Pekin except one company of the Ninth infantry. This company will act as a legation guard. After the withdrawal of the United States troops General Chaffee will go to Manila and will succeed General MacArthur in July. The action of the United States in withdrawing the troops will be taken by other nations to mean that we are anxious for a peaceful settlement of the Chinese trouble. The president on his trip south and west is seeing public settlement in regard to the position of the administration as being for preserving the integrity of the Chinese empire and advocating the opening of all the Chinese ports to international commerce. The president evidently believes his course is approved. The Chinese minister, Wu Ting Fang, had a conference with Acting Secretary Hill at the state department Monday, and it is believed the conference was regarding freedom of trade throughout the Chinese empire. The Chinese naturally fear such a move, being very exclusive, but it is conceded that conditions would be more favorable for the integrity of the empire should all foreigners be given unrestricted admission. Minister Conger is daily expected in Washington to make a report to the state department. He is rather severely criticised in official circles for a recent magazine article in which he discussed the situation freely and without regard to diplomacy. He may be officially reproved for this. It has developed that the movement for the extensive opening of China to foreign trade and commerce has the active approval not only of the United States and several other leading powers, but also of the Chinese officials. About the only doubt in the formal position of China is that caused by the empress dowager's recent creation of a council of state. How far this council will have authority to check the action of the peace plenipotentiaries is not yet clear, but the negotiations are proceeding with the prospect of uniting the various branches of Chineso authority in the support of the present plan. The attitude of Russia is the source of some solicitude, although the negotiations are being so framed as to obviate any objection which Russia might raise it the opening of commerce was to apply principally to Manchuria.

C., and a tobacco stemmery at Timmonsville, S. C.—Tradesman (Chattanooga, Tenn.) CUBANS TO CONCEDE Most Radical Admit That Platt Amendment Will Stand. COMMISSIONERS MAKE REPORT The special commission of the Cuban constitutional convention which returned to Havana from Washington May 5th will not make any recommendation to the convention, according to advises from the Cuban capital. Although a majority of the commissioners are in favor of accepting the Platt amendment, the report will cover only the facts of the conference at Washington. The convention held a secret session Tuesday afternoon. The radical element admits that the convention will accept the amendment. The commissioners at the secret session presented an extensive report of their conference with President McKinley and Secretary Root and a glowing account of the banquets and receptions tendered them. Senor Gilberga objected to incorporating an account of the social programme in the report, but the commission insisted upon this point. In reference to the third clause of the Platt amendment, the report stated that the United States would not interfere unless Cuba were attacked by a foreign power, or unless there existed in Cuba a condition of affairs similar to that which existed under Spain at the time of American intervention. Regarding coaling stations the report set forth that the places so desired by the United States were Cape Maysi and San Antonio, and another point commanding the entrance to the Gulf of Mexico; these would be definitely determined upon when drawing up the treaty and that the object of these stations would be the maintenance of the independence of Cuba as well as the protection of the United States. The report also said that the United States would in no way interfere In the local government and that President McKinley had promised to appoint a committee to meet a Cuban committee to discuss the economic questions and to draw up a commercial treaty as soon as the republic is established, and that he advised the Cubans in the meantime to study the situation in this respect. The report announced that Secretary Root had said that there was nothing in the Platt amendment to prevent Cuba having diplomatic representatives in foreign countries. The report has evidently made a good impression and only a few radicals will continue to oppose its acceptance. Senor Valluenda, in an open letter declaring his intention to accept the amendment, said he first thought that, if the convention rejected the amendment, Washington might change its policy, as he then believed the amendment was the work of party. "I now believe," says Senor Valuenda, rthat the amendment is the work of the nation. There is no use in objecting to the inevitable. It is either annexation or a republic with the amendment, and I prefer the latter. The United States government, by insisting upon the amendment, shows that the Americans have changed from their policy before the war and that they no longer rely upon the Monroe doctrine to protect the interests of American republics." TO "PULL" FOR REUNION. Louisville Will Attempt to Capture the Confederate Veteran Once More. Louisville, Ky., will send a big delegation of old soldiers, headed by a brass band and a troop of jubilee singers to Memphis to root for the confederate veterans' reunion of 1902. It is confidently expected that the city will win the honor. In an hour Tuesday enough money was subscribed to pay the expenses of carrying the musicians and the glee club to Memphis. PHILADELPHIA TIMES SOLD. Adolph Ochs Is Purchaser and His Brother Will Manage the Paper. Adolph S. Ochs, of The Chattanooga Times and The New York Times, has purchased The Philadelphia Times. His brother, George W. Ochs, will take the management of the paper. George W. Ochs is at present manager of The Chattanooga Times, and is also ex-mayor of that city. During the Paris exposition Mr. Adolph S. Ochs, manager of The New York Times, established a Paris edition and George W. Ochs was put in charge of the venture which became a success.

HELP FOR HOMELESS THOUSANDS Governor and Legislature Take Action and Many Outside Citizens Make Response. Additional particulars of Jacksonville's fearful conflagration show that one hundred and forty-eight blocks of the city were laid waste. Ten thousand people are homeless, and many of them left for St. Augustine and other coast cities and nearby towns, while numerous river craft took many to little places on the St. Johns river. Supply stations have been established in various parts of the city. The prompt action of Secretary of War Root in tendering the use of the barracks near St. Augustino was received with gratitude on every side. A committee was appointed at a meeting of citizens to wire the governors of various states to send all tents they can spare to Jacksonville. It will be weeks before anything like permanent shelter can be provided for the homeless thousands and Jacksonville for some time to come will be a city of tents. Saturday Governor Jennings declared the city un/ar martial law. Col. Lovell, of the First regiment, is command of the troops. The following troops, in addition to local companies, arrived during the day and are on duty: Governor's Guards, Tallahasssee; Columbia Rifles, Lake City; Suwannee Rifles, Live Oak, and Gem City Guards, of Palatka. The city is patrolled and the entrances to burned districts guarded by seintnels. Military headquarters has been established and passes are necessary to enter the lines in any part of the city. FOOD AND RAIMENT FOUR IN. The hunger of 10,000 homeless people was satisfied Sunday upon the arrival relief trains and boats bringing provisions from neighboring towns and distant cities. A commissary was established in the center of the city and thousands were fed during the day. An order was promulgated, under martial law, requiring all merchants, whose stores were spared by the confugation, to open their doors and sell to all who asked. Five carloads of tents were received Sunday, the property of the state, which are to be used by the homeless temporarily. These are in addition to those ordered sent by Secretary Root. The Times-Union and Citizen estimates the total loss at $11,000,000. These are based upon an itemized statement furnished by a volunteer committee of citizens. MANY PERSONS MISSING. Rumors of loss of life are on every hand, and the river has been closely watched. Many persons have confirmed the report of loss of life at the Market street wharf. Numerous advertisements appear in the local papers asking for aid in searching for persons who are missing. As many have left the city for refuge, it is impossible to ascertain who have been lost in the Market street pier tragedy. TO ISSUE BONDS. Chairman Porter L'Engle, of the board of county commissioners of Duval, said: "A bill will be introduce in the legislature at once to bond Duval for perhaps $200,000 to rebuild the courthouse and the county jail. The bill is being prepared. I understand that a bill for the issuance of $500,000 of city bonds will be at once introduced also. Of this $300,000 will be used to take up the judgment debts of the city and the remainder to rebuild city buildings." The prisoners in the county jail, thirty-five in number, including many for serious offences, some capital, were marched to Riverside under heavy guard before the fire reached them. Later on the prisoners were taken by the sheriff to Green Cove Springs, Fernandina and St. Augustine. AFTER COALING STATIONS. Naval Officials Have Covetous Eyes Upon a Number of Islands. A Washington special says: The attention of leading American naval officials has been directed recently to the advantages possessed by some of the islands of the Azores group in the Atlantic and of the Galapagos group in the Pacific as sites for coaling stations and naval rendezvous, and they are urging that steps be taken by this government to acquirerightfrom Portugal for a station in the Azores, and from Ecuador for a like station in the Galapagos group. LAYING A GHOST. Arohiteet Relates His Experience In Loving eating. Mysterious Noise. "There is certainly nothing more distracting than a slight monotonous noise," said a young architect of this city. "I mean a noise of the drumming or tapping variety, repeated with mechanical regularity. One can become accustomed to the worst kind of a promiscuous hubbub and learn to enjoy tranquility next door to a barber shop, but the 'tap-tap-tap of a loose shingle or rickety window frame will bore its way into the nerve centers like dropping water eating into a stone. What reminded me of the subject was a peculiar experience. I had last week. A friend of mine works in one of the railroad offices, sent for me in considerable distress and begged me to come home with him and locate a noise that he said was driving his wife almost frantic. The couple live in a suite of rooms over a store in an old and heavily constructed brick building. "I found the noise that was bothering them was audible only in the right-hand front apartment, which they used as a parlor, and as soon as I heard it I apprehended their desire to be rid of it. It was a curious sound—a sort of faint metallic tapping, which came apparently from nowhere in particular and was about as loud in one place as another. Such a solid building was not likely to be subject to vibrations, and I confess was considerably puzzled. I listened tentatively at all the walls, shifted article of furniture in the room, over the entire building above low, without finding a clew sance. The only place the noisy heard was in that one room seemed to be absolutely notle count for it. My friend's was urally a nervous woman, and worked herself into such a cond, she declared she wouldn't re-other day on the premises. "At last, I just before retre feated, I threw open one of the and noticed an old drain pipe down by the casement. 'Hello, to myself, let's see where they goes to.' I went downstairs and it led into an areaway and front across the back yard to the rear other building, where a cistern was dently once located. Six inches from open end was a sheet of tin, cover a hole of some kind in the wall, and soon as I drew near the secret was. There was a steam engine for an electric fight plant in the building, and the loose tin vibrated steadily whenever it was in motion, which was practically day and night. The drain pipe simply acted as a speaking tube, and, returning to the room, I found the upper end broken off in line with a big crack in the window casing. I jerked down the pipe and the ghost was laid. Architects and builders are quite frequently called in, by the way, to locate and suppress annoying sounds. The nuisance is much more common than anybody would suppose who has never suffered from it. Not long ago a heavy partition in a building here was torn open simply to get out a loose hat that was worrying the tenants on both sides."—New Orleans-Times-Democrat. HER PIECE DE RESISTANCE. Mr. Fraidover—I don't dare bring any of the fellows home unexpectedly, because I never know what my wife may have for dinner. Mr. Bravitout—Oh, I always know what my wife will have, because in a case of that sort she invariably hias the same thing. Mr. Fraidover (interestedly)—And what is that? Mr. Bravitout—A fit.—Leslie's Weekly The Steam Locomotive Doomed. It is claimed that within a few years the electric motor will completely supplant the steam locomotive, and trains will then run along at a speed of 100 miles an hour.

PAY more for education, then the cost of prisons will be less. THE young Negro should aspire for education and property. KEEP the Negro in ignorance and the whites will be infected therefrom. THE children's head, heart and hand should be thoroughly trained. THE Negro's labor has in a great measure produced whatever wealth there is in the south. It has been truly said that $^d$Our acts are Judges; "therefore we must be ever careful about our actions. THERE are many a young man who is naught but cuffs and collars. This class makes a great void in our race. It is admitted by everyone that ignorance and crime go hand in hand; therefore to lessen crime, educate more. GOVERNOR CANDLER has received much abuse during the past several weeks for the indiscreet expresses credited to him. ANY man who attempts to speak economic questions, especially at which effects the Negro, is liable get in "hot water." THE great problem before us now is the reclaiming of the large number of small boys that are constantly ent to the chain gang. It would not be much of a problem if each of us would only think that these boys will soon be men and as they grow, will they be, and if they are not properly trained they will bring odium to the race. THE constant readers of THE TRIBUNE can testify to the fact that it endeavors to be consistent in all of its utterance. That on the race question it never cringes or "takes a back seat"; that it fosters no ill-feeling for any one, but if any one says ought against the welfare of the people it will not remain quiet. THE TRIBUNE does not join in fighting any one from a personal standpoint, but when it comes to the man, matters not how much of a leader he is, that says aught against the people, then it will "hew to the line and let the chips fall where they may." The following tersa statement was made by Rev. Len. G. Broughton of Atlanta, in a sermon on Sunday last: "Gov. Candler's administration has been specially characterized by the spirit of a feudist. He has kept one eye pointed on that population north of Mason and Dixon's line. He has misrepresented the south. Our people do not feel as he feels. They are now possessed with the broad minded spirit of Christian and humanitarian statesmanship which recognizes the might of a mighty union of a once disunited people. "Governor Candler's remarks are made undignified and in a way vulgar. He has been noted for such conduct. On more than one occasion he has been reported to have used language for which he would have been arrested and put in jail, if it had been used by an ordinary man on our streets. It is bad enough, God knows, for a great state like this to have a "cussin" governor a man who don't control himself in such a vulgar habit. "But when it comes to "cussin" through the public press of his state what else can we expect but narrow and predjudiced criticisms of a lot of Christian ministers and philanthropists who come to us in the interest of the Christian education of the people of a common country with a common destiny. I say it is time we were done with such backwoods out of date statesmanship. Georgia don't want to be misrepresented in any such way. Atlanta the home of the immortal Grady, whose silver tongue and ready pen ever stood for promulgation of the new south, Atlanta, I say, cannot afford to be the museum for such political monstrosities as sectional feudist in a day of national victory. I am a southbred and born, but God forbid that I should let the old sore of sectional bitterness be opened in my presence without a protest as strong and vigorous as I know how to make it." From Mr. G. W. DeLoach at Marvena, Ga. We are informed that the Freewill Baptists will meet at Adel Ga, on Friday before the fourth Sunday in May. Several very interesting papers will be read, some on the race question and the others on religious topics. The attendance is expected to be large. Not since the great Chicago fire has this country been stirred as it was caused to be last week by the disastrous fire in Jacksonville. No adequate description can be given of the large amount of damage done. A representative of THE TRIBUNE visited the stricken town and noted the great destruction wrought. To those who are not acquainted with the location of the city, the best way to give a slight idea of the area covered by the fire is to bound it by East and West Broad streets, and from the river front beyond thirty-first street. Everything within this boundary was raised to the ground with the exception of a few chimneys standing sentinel like, the fountain in the city park and the confederate monument nearby. Some of the greatest sufferers are among our people. Jacksonville is noted for its large number of colored business men, and they all had real fine homes. Even many of those who are not in business for themselves, own beautiful homes, and the fire consumed many of these homes Many of those who have suffered by the fire are well-known to many of our citizens. Beside the large number of homes destroyed, all of the leading churches and schools were destroyed. Among the churches are the Central C. M. E., St. Philip Episcopal, Harmony Baptist, the Presbyterian, Mt. Moriah Baptist, Trinity Baptist, Ebenezer M. E., Grants A. M. E., Bethel Baptist and Mt. Zion A. M. E. churches. Among the institutions of learning are the Stanton Graded school, Cookman Institute, and the Edward Waters College. The institute and college lost all of the buildings surrounding them The Masonic temple, the Knights of Pythias castle and the Odd-Fellows and several other halls were consumed. The insurance will only pay in part the great loss. While our people has lost a great deal, yet they are standing it bravely and as soon as the insurance is adjusted many of them will go immediately to rebuilding. This spirit was proven from the fact that the first order given for lumber was by a colored man. Naturally such a loss would entail much suffering. Many of our people are in need, and it would be well for our citizens to aid them. There is an auxiliary colored committee with Rev. Waldron as chairman, that is looking out for the wants of our people, and this committee has been working energetically to satiate the sufferers. Our contemporary, the Evangelist lost its well equipped plant, but like its energetic management, it will not miss an issue, and will very soon negotiate for another plant. The office of the Fraternal Ledger was also destroyed. The city is under martial law. About two hundred state troops are stationed there. So far there has been no trouble. The Times Union in an editorial on Monday complimented the citizens for the excellent order kept. The newspapers of other parts have been endeavoring to make it appear that apart of the colored citizens are indolent and made threats of violence. This is not true. The kindest feeling exists among all classes. Hundreds of men are employed in clearing away the debris. Several commissaries are opened and the needs of the people are being properly looked after. Claimed by Death. The remains of Mrs. Emma White who died in New York were brought to the city for burial on Wednesday. She was buried from St. Philips Monumental church on Thursday afternoon. Mrs. White has been residing in New York for several years. She came here last autumn to visit her parents and spent several weeks. She has been married about two years, and her husband accompanied her remains to the city. She leaves a mother, Mrs. McCarr three sisters, Mrs. Rachel Hudson, Miss Lula McCarr, and Mrs Aurelia E. Allen, the latter is now living in New York. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. K. H. Singleton. The eulogy over the remains by Rev. Singleton was of the most touching kind. He minutely preached the life of the deceased and spoke glowingly of her. So impressive were his words that it brought tears to the eyes of many. Mrs. White was indeed an ideal wife, a faithful daughter and a loving sister. All who knew her loved her and join in extending sympathy to family. J. A. Sykes's Death. Intelligence has reached us that Capt James A. Sykes, an old Savannahian, who left here about fifteen years ago and resided since in Atlanta, died there last week. Capt. Sykes was well-known here and at one time numbered his friends by the scores. He was a brilliant young man, held several positions of trust and honor. He was at one time District Grand Master of Odd-Fellows of the state. He was also the editor of the defunct Phoenix. Later a misfortune overtook him and he left home. With all of his human frailties he was kind hearted and had a sunny disposition. MASONIC COLUMN. MASONIC COLUMN. The brethern must not forget the assessments that are pass due. Bro. R. W. Graham of Rochelle, in sending his subscripton, tells us that he is well pleased with THE TRIBUNE and that, it is the best paper in the state. Grand Master Terry has been very ill for the past several weeks. He is now in Montgomery, where it is hoped that his health will be regained. The prayers of the craft goes out for him. Worshipful Master G. H. Best of Western Star Lodge wrote us encouragingly about his lodge. He says that they will have a grand celebration next month. He says that THE TRIBUNE "is a grand paper and gives much satisfaction." What a wonderful vision was that that Jacob saw! What a sermon was that in that dream! God—Heaven—Messiah—inter-communication and communion—special Providence—a revelation!! The Bible does not tell us the names of the rounds in Jacob's lad, der but Masonry teaches us that the three prominent ones are Faith, Hope, and Charity, or Love. Faith is the key that unlocks the door to all spirit truth and knowledge, for no man will seek an entrance where he has no faith to go. Hope in immortality is an incentive to virtuous action, for if we hope to love forever we will be animated to strive for that excellence which will entitle us to a state of bliss. Love is the height of spirit life—it is the round nearest God. When the Mason reaches the round of charity or Love he is close to the Father Spirit who was standing above the Ladder The next step is into heaven itself St John our patron saint, said: "He who loveth God loveth his brother also. If a man sayeth "I love God and hateh, his brother he is a liar."(I John 4:21) Faith ends in sight When we see the way and begin our journey over it we pass the first round. Hope ends in fruition, for we are in possession and use of the way—we are on the second round. Charity extends beyond 'the grave, (death) into the boundless realms of eternity; for Charity is Love, and God is Love. So that the more we have of Love the more we have of God. We take that with us in our eternal progression towards God, and finally we reach Him who is represented by our gilded "G"—the infinite source of light. Jesus said: "I am the way," and hundreds of millions testify that through Him they have found God a present help in every time of need. Local Brevites. Mr. C. L. Lane who has been sick is much improved. Prof. E B. Barco of Cordele was in the city last week and gave us a call. Attend fair at Harris street given by the Household of Ruth during next week.

Mr. White came to the city on the sad mission to burry his wife. He will take a trip to Jacksonville to his parents and will return here to remain until the first of June. The mock trial benefit Beth-Eden Baptist Church on Tuesday night last was well attended. The contestants were Messrs. Singleton and Singleton as prosecutors, and Johnson and Lavine as defenders. The former came out with smiles, having succeeded in getting the decision. Mr. S. Richards presided. Capt. S. A. Lockhart of Macon, commander of the Lincoln Guards, arrived in the city Wednesday. He came to attend a meeting of the board of officers of the Battalion. Capt. Lockhart is one of the most loyal commanders in the Battalion, and from point of service is one of the oldest. He returned home on Thursday. Little Hazel, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Hart, No. 507 Bolton street, West, was serenaded on Wednesday evening last by the West End Quintet and Trust Club.

Walker, who left sometime ago for Atlanta has received a flattering offer, from Messrs. Power and Watson of the DeSoto hotel to become head-waiter of the same. Mr. Walker accepted and took charge Thursday. Mr. Walker is an excellent gentleman and all whom he has been in contact with speaks highly of him. He is an expert in his line of work. Mrs. Walker and the children did not come with him, but will remain at Forsyth, Ga., for about a month. We are all glad to welcome Mr. Walker back home. Interesting Services. Last Sunday afternoon at Woodville, near the city, Pilgrim Congregational Church held an interesting service. Miss B. S. Riek, principal of the Beach Institute, delivered an address on "Prayer." It was spiritually helpful and held the audience spell-bound. The solo by Miss Weymouth of the Beach, moved many in the congregation to tears, and was repeated at the request of the Rev. R. E. Jones, who spoke well of it, also the brany eloquence of Miss Reik. Miss Sengstacke's solo created a deep impression, and made the teachers of the Beach Institute feel glad over one of their graduates. Miss Rebecca Sengstacke, a graduate of the Beach, and Miss Matthews one of the teachers of the same, presided at the organ in an able manner. The beautiful and earnest prayer by Miss Weymouth touched many a heart in that solemn audience as they gathered around the communion table of their Lord and Christ. The communion was administered by Rev. Jones and Dr. Sengstacke; benediction by the Rev. Jordan Loyd. MEMORIAL My Only Sister, Fannie T. Habersham. Died May 8th, 1900. Out of the sight of mine eyes She hath gone God's own dear way; But deeper and deeper into my heart Till we meet on the judgment day. For 'tis not in the power of Time Nor of Death, to vanquish love, Than which there is nothing stronger or Earth Or gre ter in Heaven above. And thus, though a year has passed, Since Fannie journeyed on before, Behold she is with me ofteiner now Than she was in the day of yore." At Rest ADDIE HABERSHAM McNICHOLS. In Memory of Mr. Jackson. In Memory of Mr. Jackson. At the regular monthly meeting at the Vestry of St Stephen's Church held on May 25, 1801, the following resolutions were adopted as a tribute of respect to the memory of Mr. Albert Jackson: In as much as it has pleased Almighty God in His wisdom and power to remove from our midst by death our beloved friend, Albert Jackson, we deeply deplore his death; and while we feel his loss keenly we bow with submission to the will of God who death all things for the best, and be it. Resolved, That in his death the Vestry of St Stephen's Church has sustained the loss of a true friend and co-worker, whose council and advice was alike valuable and unselfish, and be it further. Resolved. That St Stephen's Church at large, in whose services the best years of his valuable and unselfish life was given, has sustained the loss of a true and faithful member of her congregation and a devout christian gentleman whose memory will ever be cherished and his aid and counsel missed, and be it further. Resolved, That as a community in general we mourn the loss of a man of unimpeachable character and a citizen of honor and integrity, and in appreciation of his virtues, we resolve that a copy of these resolutions be tendered his bereaved family, and a copy be spread on the minutes of St. Stephen's Church.

For about two months Mr. Bryan had been failing in health but no one thought that, the end was so near. As soon as he took his bed though, he intimated to his family that he would not likely recover. On the Sunday prior to his death, at the family devotions, which he always observed, he sang the hymn "One sweetly solemn thought" and when through remarked that he was truly nearer his home, perhaps than they thought. The deceased was well-known in this city. He was a hackman for many years, and by strictness to business, secured a home for his family. Mr. Bryan could always be depended on. His word was in the truest sense himself. For a number of years he has been greatly interested in the patients at the Georgia Infirmary, and was a leader of the Charitable Workers Association which gives its support to that branch of charity in our city. In spiritual as well as temporal affairs, Mr. Bryan was always found on the side of right and justice. Truly was he a Christian gentlemen. The funeral occurred from the First A. B church, West Broad and Bolton streets, of which he was formerly a deacon. Rev. M. W. Gilbert, A. M. of Charleston, S. C. conducted the services, assisted by Revs. Alex. Harris, R. H. Thomas, Jno.

Washington, I guess he preach what he practice, and that is to disfranchise his own race. First, we must remember and take in consideration, that it always has happened that the one whom you put confidence in as a leader of this the colored race, will always let them up against a prick. It is not the one who alone was mentioned in the Gazette on last Saturday, but they are many others who preach what they practice, but I will say this, if these representatives that we have leading the race, if they are an anchor to the race make them drop their anchor and let the race go on and upward, for we must remember that these people as a race have had a hard time, and I will repeat, let the anchor be taken up and let the race go on and upward.

All manner of extravagant expressions are possible when a woman's nerves are overwrought. The spasm at the top of the wind pipe or bronchial tubes, "ball rising in the throat," violent beating of the heart, laughing and crying by turns, muscular spasms (throwing the arms about), frightened by the most insignificant occurrences—are all symptoms of a hysterical condition and serious derangement of the female organs. Any female complaint may produce hysterics, which must be regarded as a symptom only. The cause, however, yields quickly to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, which acts at once upon the organ afflicted and the nerve centers, dispelling effectually all those distressing symptoms. Mrs. Lewis Says: "I Feel Like a New Person. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—I wish to speak a good word for Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. For years I had ovarian trouble and suffered everything from nervousness, severe headache, and pain in back and abdomen. I had consulted different physicians, but decided to try your medicine, and I soon found it was giving me much relief. I continued its use and now am feeling like a new person, physically and mentally, and am glad to add one more testimonial to the value of your remedy."—Mrs. M. H. LEXUS, 2108 Valentine Ave., Tremont, New York, N. Y. Writing to Mrs. Pinkham is the quickest and surest way to get the right advice about all female troubles. Her address is Lynn, Mass. She advises women free. Following is an instance: Mrs. Haven's First Letter to Mrs. Pinkham. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—I would like your advice in regard to my troubles. I suffer every month at time of menstruation, and flow so much and for so long that I become very weak, also get very dizzy. I am troubled with a discharge before and after menses, have pains in ovaries so bad sometimes that I can hardly get around, have sore feeling in lower part of bowels, pain in back, bearing-down feeling, a desire to pass urine frequently, with pains in passing it; have leucorrhoea, headache, fainting spells, and sometimes have hysteria.

The carpet man lays carpets too, So all are "laymen" good and true. The hen lays eggs for all mankind. Which daily in their nests we find. But the funniest sight we ever saw, Was Paddy "laying down the law." Pat. boasted to a friendly "Cop," Who often visited his shop, That he'd a hion tamer been— The fiercest lions ever seen— And claimed in manner rather fresh, That he'd off eaten lion's flesh. The officer joined in to say That he "drank" Lion every day. "What's that ye say?" then Paddy cried, "Ye spalpeen; shure O! think ye lied." The cop said "you're too fresh I think, It's LION COFFEE that I drink— It's pure and strong, and healthy too, And helps a man his work to do. I take a cup or two to meet The trials of my weary beat!" The last word just seemed to suggest A thought to Pat; he did the rest. His first flow out, the cop fell down, While Paddy's face assumed a frown. "Ye fooled me, did yez!" he exclaimed As still another blow he aimed. "I hope yez will excuse me paw- 'Tis fond of "laying down the law!" and descriptive list.
