STEAMER GOES DOWN
City of Paducah Strike a Snag In Mississippi River.
ONLY SEVEN ON BOARD ESCAPE
At Least Twenty-five of the Crew, the Majority of Whom Were Negro Roustabouts. Went Down to Watery Graves.
A special from Carbondale, III, says: The steamer City of Paducah was sunk near Brunkhorst landing, about four miles north of Grand Tower, at 12 o'clock Sunday night. Between twenty-five and fifty people were drowned, only seven escaping with their lives.
The City of Paducah left St. Louis Sunday morning on a downward trip and stopped at most of the landings and loaded freight. Between 11 and 12 o'clock Miss Fannie Block, who, in company with her parents, Rev. and Mrs. Block, was going from St. Louis to Evansville, Ind., was aroused from sleep by a sudden jar. She asked her mother if her berth had broken down, and no sooner had the words passed her lips than water rushed into the apartments and they were compelled to act quickly to save their lives. With four others they escaped to the Illinois shore by holding on to drift wood and swimming.
The seven saved are Hebrews. Rev. Mr. Block is a Jewish rabbi. The seven survivors of the catastrophe made their way down the river bank to Grand Tower and aroused Mrs. Baronowsky, at the Tremont hotel, where they were given lodging until Monday morning. They lost all their clothes and valuables and had nothing but their underwear and blankets about them. Among the drowned were about twenty-five negro roustaboats. Frank White, whose home is in Kansas City, told the following story of the disaster:
"I got on the boat at Landing 76 to go to Caliro. The boat stopped at Lake Ditch landing and took on several sacks of corn. We landed again at Brunkhorst, which is only a few miles from Lake Ditch, and took on corn. At both places about seventeen sacks were loaded. After the corn at Brunkhorst had been placed on board the boat started down stream and just as she put off struck a snag, tearing a big hole in her.
"The crew then tried to place the stern of the boat toward the river and while turning her around she sank. She is about thirty feet from shore and her cabin and pilot house are above water. I jumped into a skiff and made to shore.
"I don't know how many were aboard, but I think there were about twenty-five drowned. Among them were two engineers, one white woman and about fifteen negroes.
"There was great confusion, and it may be that more were drowned."
The bodies of the two passengers have been recovered. First Mate Tobias Royal, of St. Louis, says only about twelve passengers were on board and all were saved except two. The body of Dr. J. W. Bell, of Bell's landing, Tennessee, was taken out of his stateroom. The remains of a young woman, on which was a visiting card reading "Mrs. Mary L. Allen, St. Louis, Mo., were recovered from her stateroom. Two friends traveling with the drowned woman, who started back to St. Louis on the steamer City of Clifton, said that the young lady was engaged to marry Dr. C. A. Meredith, of St. Louis. Several hundred dollars' worth of jewelry was found on her body.
It is supposed that most of the missing deck hands, who were on the lower deck, were washed down the river. The boat lies down about 100 feet from the Illinois shore's the forepart of the hurricane, deck being under water. She appears to be a total wreck.
Threaten to Shut Down.
The New York Builders' Association issued a statement Monday regarding its decision to shut down operations on Thursday unless the blocklayers' union call off all strikes in the meantime.
HEAVY BATTERY FOR BUFFALO.

Bankrupt Empire Asks For Time In Making Financial Amends.
PLEA IS FOR THIRTY YEARS
Promises to Pay Ten Millions Annually In Monthly Installments. Pleads Poverty as Excuse for Delay.
The answer of China to the statement of the ministers of the foreign powers as to the losses sustained by nations and individuals in China was received in Pekin Tuesday. The answer commences with an appeal to mercy, saying that the country is impoverished.
The first paragraph states that China has not the slightest intention of trying to escape from the payment of her just obligations; that she is pledged to pay all the legitimate expenses of the allies and all damages actually incurred by foreigners during the recent trouble and will do so.
The third paragraph sets forth that the resources of China are diminishing. The government in recent years was only able to raise $8,000,000 taels ($61,000,000 a year, of which 24,000,000 taels ($17,000,000) go to pay the war loan and 16,000,000 taels ($11,000,000) more to other foreign obligations. After dwelling at length upon the diminishing revenue and the great number of outstanding obligations of the country the plenipotentiaries propose to set aside 15,000,000 taels ($10,000,000) annually, to be paid to the powers in monthly installments until the sum agreed upon is made up.
This amount will be derived as follows: "From salt, 10,000,000 taels; from the likin tax, 2,000,000 from native customs, 3,000,000." The communication further asserts that were this done it would leave the country unable to meet the expenses of government without assistance. It requested that the foreign customs be given to China for the purpose of government. The ministers refuse to discuss the answer until it has been considered by them in meeting.
A cablegram from Mr. Rockhill, special United States commissioner at Pekin received at Washington Tuesday mentions the receipt by the ministers of the response of the Chinese envoys to the ministers' demands for indemnity. The dispatch indicates briefly that the Chinese represent that an annual payment of $10,000,000 is the full extent of their power to pay on indemnity account. It will take thirty years to discharge the debt at that rate without interest.
Mr. Rockhil makes no mention of the subject of interest, nor does he touch upon the means by which the money is to be raised by China, or say who is to guarantee a loan necessary to be made. It appears that the Chinese feel obliged to submit to the powers in this question of indemnity, as in all other things, and though realizing their inability to assume this indebtedness of 450,000,000 taels they feel obliged to make the effort. Mr. Rockhill has been instructed to continue his efforts to secure an abatement of the total indemnity, but in the present disposition of the powers little hope of success is entertained.
Plan Satisfies Germany.
The news that China agrees to the payment of the indemnities demanded is received in Berlin with general approval in official circles and privately, insomuch that all Germany desires is to wind up the China campaign.
It is understood that the proposal to extend the payments over a period of thirty years meets with a qualified assent.
Many Boer Homes Burned.
A parliamentary paper has just been issued at London showing that 624 farm buildings, mills, cottages and hovels were burned in the Orange River colony and Transvaal from June, 1900, to the end of January, 1901.
Anti-Lynch Act Sustained.
What is known as the anti-lynching act was sustained by the supreme court of Ohio in a decision handed down Tuesday.
SAVANNAH WINS UNIQUE CASE.
City Can Levy Tax on Its Own Property When Same is Leased.
In the United States supreme court Monday an opinion was handed down in the case of Wells vs. the city of Savannah, Ga., involving the question of the city's right to tax its own property when leased to another party. The supreme court of the state of Georgia held in favor of the city's contention for this right, and Monday's opinion upholds that decision on the ground that the lease in this case amounted to practically a sale.

Contained Scathing Denunciation Of His Royal-Nibs, Edward.
EPITHETS LAVISLY EMPLOYED
Polluted Hero, Bald-Headed Roue and Genteel Perjurer Were Some of the Choice Expressions Used By Editor.
Advices from Dublin state that the police of Cork, Limerick and other towns of Ireland seized all the copies of William O'Brien's weekly paper, "The Irish People," found at the news dealers Friday. The offending article, it now appears, was an abusive attack on King Edward. It was as follows:
"Down upon his knees before an old and baldheaded rover, lover of every woman of fair features who has appeared in English society for forty years, including titled dames and as yet untitleled actresses—the English gentleman perjurer of a historic divorce case, the polluted hero of one of the malodorous scenes in Zola's rotten novel, 'Nana,' the center of a score of the most disgraceful scandals of the most contemptible type, down in front of this English king, whose latest public performance was to stigmatize on his solemn oath the whole Catholic world as superstitious idolators, knelt the English-born cardinal prince of the church with a document that might have been presented to a Degree in a southern plantation fifty years ago, but not by an Uncle Tom, poor but contented, of Harriet Beecher Stowe's great story, would have seen his black skin stripped off inch by inch rather than put his mark to a document like that signed and presented by Cardinal Vaughan and the duke of Norfolk on his solemn oath.
"We do not believe he attached the slightest solemnity to the performance. But the fact remains—this old and worn out descendant of a race of scoundrels and practical professors of hideous immorality asseverated that the most of the sacred doctrines of the Catholic faith wefe idolatrous and superstitious. He has not 'not yet recanted. He has not said a word to indicate he did not thoroughly approve of the terms of the oath framed in the days of Titus. The oath of a perjurer is no less vile than that of the reigning king; but, on bended knees, the prince of the church knelt before this unutterably abominable person. Let us console ourselves with the fact that the presentees were English Catholics, who are repudiated by the only really Catholic nation now in existence. The loyalists represented England only, and if the English Catholics choose to acknowledge themselves superstintious idolators, it is no fault of ours."
The police of London are suppressing copies of the paper forwarded before the office in.Dublin was selzed.
Dillon Denounces Seizure.
A London special says: At the conclusion of the questions in the house of commons John Dillon (nationalist), moved the adjournment of the house in order to call attention to the seizure of The Irish People. Mr. Dillon complained that the action of the authorides was grossly illegal. He said he was not concerned to defend the violence of the attack, but any seizure should have been done through the courts. Far more violent attacks on Queen Victoria had been made in the English papers without being seized. The present action was a blow at the liberty of the press. The motion for an adjournment was defeated by a vote of 252 to 64.
The morning papers of London are unanimous in denouncing the scandalous attack of The Irish People upon the king; but serious doubts are raised as to the wisdom of Mr. Wyndham's action in seizing the paper—first, because the seizure was illegal, it being a case for prosecution; second, because to the delight of the Irish members it has given worldwide publicity to Mr. O'Brien's hitherto little known paper and will be, the nationalists claim, worth thousands of dollars to them from American sympathizers.
PAYING TELLER SHORT.
Prominent Bank Official In New Orleans Detected In Wrong-Doing. Samuel Flower, paying teller of the Amerria National bank, was arrested in New Orleans Saturday by United States Marshal Fontell and charged with a shortage of $28,000. The Fidelity and Depos.- Company, of Baltimore, is on Flower's bond for $25,000. Flower is a cousin of the late Mayor Flower and comes from one of the most prominent families in the state. He is a son of the late ex-United States sub-Treasurer Samuel Flower, of New Orleans. His bond for $10,000 was promptly signed when he was arraigned in the United States court.
MRS. M'KINLEY IS ILL
President's Itinerary Is Changed Somewhat as a Result.
LIVELY ROW OVER PRECEDENCE
Ohio Party and Governor Nash's Crowd Make a Big Howl Over Alleged Slight Accorded Them.
The sudden illness of Mrs. McKinley has caused an unexpected change in the itinerary of President McKinley. He arrived in San Francisco Sunday afternoon several hours ahead of the time scheduled. The state of Mrs. McKinley's health was such that the president decided to leave Delmonte with his wife for the home of Henry T. Scott, in San Francisco, where she could have complete rest and where a specialist could be consulted, if necessary.
Ohio Party Discomfitted.
The Ohio party en route to San Francisco to see the launching of the battleship Ohio, enjoyed a sojourn at Del Monte, Cal., Saturday. The Ohio party and Governor Nash's party clashed over a question of precedence, and harmony is wanting. The people of California have been very cordial, but naturally President McKinley has received the most attention, and Governor Nash and party, who are traveling on a separate train, have been a little in the background. At Los Angeles it was all McKinley, and the Ohio senatorial party felt slighted.
The chagrin of the party experienced over its alleged mistreatment at Los Angeles became more intense as the time passed and broke out into open revolt at conferences in the Hotel Delmonte. The special cars bearing the Ohio congressmen were attached to the Ohio special at Los Angeles. This seemed to add to the ill feeling of the governor's party, who complained that they had been an annexed section to the president's party, and now were given third place.
The congressmen seemed equally dissatisfied with the new arrangement, and finally it was decided that the congressmen should travel as they had done before reaching Los Angeles. The cars of the congressmen were accordingly taken off the Ohio special at Delmonte, and they left for San Francisco at noon Saturday, while Governor Nash and party left at 2 p. m. for San Francisco. Then Colonel J. B. Ellison and Willis G. Bowland, who have charge of all arrangements for Governor Nash and the Ohio special, met a committee from San Jose and notified Chairman Minor that they would not visit San Jose as an annex of any other party.
It was then decided that the special would go from San Francisco to San Jose Sunday night. It was also specified that the Ohio special would leave San Jose before the presidential train arrived.
WANT DOLE REMOVED.
Hawaiian Legislature and Governor of Island at Loggerheads.
Advices from Honouluu state that the first territorial legislature of Hawaii came to an end on the evening of April 30th, according to Governor Dole, and on the next night, according to the majority of both houses. The legislature ended its existence at loggerheads with the governor and without having passed a single important measure to which the home rulers were committed except the county government act, which the governor killed by a pocket veto.
The last act of the house on the evening of the 30th was to pass a concurrent resolution containing a memorial to President McKinley asking for the removal of Governor Dole.
He is charged with having hindered the work of the session by his hostility toward the legislature, withholding information and reports that were called for, and refusing to co-operate with the law-makers. President McKinley is asked in the resolution to use his influence in behalf of an extra session of the legislature to transact general legislation which General Dole refuses to grant.
STRIKE SEEMS INEVITABLE.
Machinists Are Determined that Their Demands Shall Be Granted.
The representatives of the Machinists and Allied Metal Trades National and International Unions, who have been in session in Washington for two days considering the enforcement of a demand that union machinists hereafter shall be required to work only nine hours a day with an increase of wages that would make the daily pay the same as under the present ten-hour scale, late Tuesday afternoon decided that there should be a strike on May 20th in shops refusing to grant the desired concessions.

SECRETS ON MARKET
Stenographer of Insular Office Tries to Sell Neely Papers.
Correspondence Was Offered the Attorney of Neely for $200—Secretary Root Was Quickly Apprised of the Fact.
A Washington special says: An attempt to sell the confidential communications between the attorney general and the secretary of war in the Neely case was unearthed Saturday by Chief Wilkle, of the secret service.
Information had been obtained from John D. Lindsey, counsel for Neely, in New York, who had received a letter signed by John B. Dickinson, offering him copies of the correspondence. Mr. Lindsey turned the matter over to the attorney general and the latter placed the case in the hands of Chief Wilkie. An officer was stationed at the general delivery window of the local post office and when a man presented himself and asked for mail for John B. Dickenson he was followed. He went to the insular division of the war department.
Shortly afterwards a conference was held between the secretary of war, Solicitor General Richards, of the department of Justice; Colonel Edwards, chief of the insular bureau, and Chief Wilkie. It was discovered that the man representing himself as John Dickenson was William Davis, stenographer to Colonel Edwards, a position which he has held for a year past. He at one time was private secretary to ex-Congressman Brumm, of Pennsylvania. Williams volunteered to turn the correspondence that he had attempted to sell to Lindsay over to the Washington officials. As the sale of this correspondence had not been completed no charge was made against Williams, but he was summarily dismissed by the secretary of war.
The papers which Williams desired to sell to Mr. Lindsey consisted of the draft of an opinion of the attorney general upon questions submitted by Mr. Lindsey relative to requisition testimony in the Neely case and was submitted to Secretary Root for consideration and observation. There also was a letter from Secretary Root to the attorney general. These papers Williams offered for $200.
WOULD-BE SMASHERS SLUGGED.
Wichita Saloon Keeper Uses His Fists on a Trio of Young Ladies
At Wichita, Kas., Saturday afternoon Winona Killgore, Anna Peoples and Jasmine Wilhoit, three young girls, the latter a daughter of Lucy Wilhoit, the colleague of Mrs. Nation, attempted to smash the Summit saloon. They entered with rocks and the barkeeper did not know an attack was threatened until the glass began to crash about his ears.
Fred Wolfe, the proprietor, knocked the girls down with his fists and pitched them into the street. Miss Wilhoit's brother came to their defense and Wolfe struck him, making a long gash on his face, from which the blood flowed freely. In the mime the wrist of Miss Peoples was broken. The police arrested the girls and lodged them in the city fail.
Mrs. Carrie Nation arrived in the city Saturday after zn exciting day at Harper. There was a circus in town and she organized a raid on saloons, but was arrested before she could do any smashing. She was released on promising that she would take the next train out of town, which she did.
FIVE WOMEN DROWNED.
Unfortunately Victims Represent Three Generations of One Family.
A dispatch from Houghton, Mich., says: By the burning of the passenger steamer Bon Voyage Friday evening five members of the Altman family, grandmother, mother and three daughters, lost their lives. They were drowned while trying to escape from the boat.
CHINESE WANT REDUCTION.
Government Is Appalled at Amount of Indemnity Demanded.
Dr. Morrison, wiring to The London Times from Pekin, May 10th, says: "The Chinese plenipotentiaries are drafting a reply to the ministers of the powers expressing astonishment at the amount of indemnity demanded and urging a reduction on the ground of the empire's financial difficulties, but undertaking, if the full amount is exacted, to pay in thirty annual installments of 15,000,000 taels from the likin, salt tax and native customs.
NO.32.
The Dragon Flag of Wales.
"Quarterly azure, and gules, four lions passant gardant counter-charged." Welsh people desire the Welsh arms added to the standard, and London heralds say that if Wales has any arms, these are they. But are the heralds correct? The dragon of Britain figures in Gildas as well as in Tennyson, and the dragon was the flag of the Dux Britanniae of Roman days. The house of Cuneda appears to have kept the dragon flag and the title of King of Britain for a time. After Cadwallon's death, however, they become merely princes, and curiously adopt the lion as their emblem, while the dragon passes perhaps as part of the hegemony of the island to the Saxon Kings of Wessex. Hastings field made an end of the dragon as an English flag. The dragon, however, became the Welish flag again when Owen Glendower, "by the grace of God Prince of Wales," rose in revolt against Henry IV., and it was also under the Red Dragon that Henry VII. (who claimed to be heir of Arthur and Cadwallon) marched to Bosworth. That dragon flag was subsequently hung up at Westminster. There is, however, some historical justification for adding the red dragon to the English standard to represent Wales. It would, however, be interesting to know the exact device on the flag of the Britons borne before Charles I., when as Prince of Wales he kept court at Ludlow Castle.—The Saturday Review
Sand and the Suez Canal.
One of the problems which has given the management of Suez Canal much trouble is that of the sand that blows into it, adding to the dredging expenses. A considerable number of plants have been tried in the effort to fix the sands so that a comparatively small quantity would be blown into the canal. All of these plants have failed except one, which, it is now believed, will be quite effective in keeping the sand in place.
This large plant is the casuarine tree. It thrives in the southern hemisphere, and grows well on the sand banks that skirt the Suez Canal. It not only survives intense drought, but also excessive humidity, which is important, as the northern part of the canal is subject to inundations at some periods and droughts at other seasons of the year.
The roots of this tree penetrate the sand so deeply that they tap subterranean sources of water. Many of the trees planted 25 years ago have thrived so well in their new habitat that they are now over forty feet in height. All who have studied the problem of sand fixation are certain that this tree will offer important resistance to the movement of sand along the canal. Steps are being taken to plant it extensively.
First Submarine Cable.
The first submarine cable was laid across the English Channel about fifty years ago. It was also about the same time that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, the world renowned dyspepsia cure, was first introduced to the public. If you are a suffair from this aliment, or from indigestion, fatulency, constipation, nervousness or insomnia you should try it at once. If you are well and healthy, strengthen your entire system and produce sound sleep.

SATURDAY MAY 18, 1901..
This is an age of endeavor.
ONE must not be satisfied with the success of to-day, but labor for success each day, and let that success be on all right lines.
THE common citizens of Savannah are blessed with but a very few business men, but these few men should get together in some manner and organize which would undoubtedly give them an incentive for greater good among themselves and the public at large.
It is expected to make the Negro department of the South Carolina, Interstate and West Indian Exposition at Charleston, one of its main features. Mr. Booker T. Washington has been made chief commissioner, with a strong local executive committee. Exhibits from our people from all parts of the country, are solicited especially from these in this section.
The Democrats of Maryland were beaten at their own game at the recent election in Baltimore. The new disfranchising law was tried at this election for the first, the result being that the Democrats were badly beaten, the Republicans electing the mayor and two-thirds of the members of the board of alderman, among them a colored man. Hon. Ihiram Watty.
THE colored citizens of Columbus, Ga., have recently received very generous gifts from Mr. Peabody. $1000 were given for a kindergarten department of the public school. providing $400 are raised each year for five years for its maintenance. $20,000 was given to the Y. M. C. A., providing the expenses maintaining a respectable association for five years are paid. These are good things for our fellow-citizens and should be an incentive for much good.
In the rural districts a large number of our people own a plenty of land and homes. Many of them are thrifty citizens and secure large returns from their farms, etc. There are a number of others who are not so thrifty but are inclined to be somewat "happy-go-lucky." This will not do for this age. This class must be on the hustle. They must improve their property, cultivate good crops and by this method would become the peers of any one else, especially if they are law loving.
The Ohio anti-lynch law has been found to be constitutional. Some years ago Click Mitchell, a colored man, was lynched at Urbana. Suit against the county was brought for $5,000. It was fought through the various courts to the state supreme court which upholds the constitutionality of the law, hence Mitchell's heirs will be paid the $5,000 damage. It is a pity that such a law is not on the statute book of every state in the Union. Editor H. C. Smith of the Cleveland Gazette is the author of the anti-lynch law in Ohio.
College Dots.
Miss E. E. Lane of New Jersey, a teacher in Haines Institute Augusta, stopped over a day o two to see friends on our campus. She is en route to her home. Chas. Sneed of Augusta came down to pay his brother a "pop call." He was glad to find his little brother in such good condition. He is a Haines student. President Wright delivered the literary address at the Haines Institute on Monday night. A number of our student brick masons will work at their trade during the summer vacation. Many will work also at black smithing, painting, carpentry, and shoe-making. This is an excellent showing for our industrial department.
Our Mr. Travis delivered an eloquent and a thoughtful sermon before the Odd-Fellows last Sunday a m, at the F. A. B. Church. The extra out side touches are being placed upon the new dormitory building. It is well worth seeing. The literary societies are closing down their work for the year They have done good work. Band-master Haigler had a large and appreciative audience at his band-concert at the St. Philip Church. Mr. Haigler has worked hand, and he and his boys are to be commended for the splendid results achieved. Messrs. Carter and Clark ran up from Brunswick Sunday morning to see the Brunswickian. Mr. Clark found his son in "good repair."
Mr. Shootes of the Junior class is using his spare moments tailoring at Levy's. Dr. Stever has been elected to deliver the alumni address.

Mrs. White's Funeral.
As mentioned in our last week's issue, Mrs. Emma White who died in New York city on May 3d, was buried from the St. Philips Monumental Church on Thursday afternoon May 9th.
The remains of Mrs. White were brought here for burial by her husband, Mr Jos. W. White. Mrs. White had many friends, white and colored in New York and Savannah. She gained them mainly by her pleasant disposition and amiable manners. Mrs. White left this city several years ago for New York, where about two years ago she married Mr. White. They lived happily together until her death. She was only sick about two months, during which time she had all the attention medical skill could devise. She was aware of her end and while bowed down in pain she sweetly sang the beautiful hymn "I am coming to the cross." This was also sang over her grave. The nearest survivors of Mrs. White are her husband, her mother, Mrs. McCarr, three sisters, Mrs. Rachel Hudson and Miss Lula McCarr of this city, and Mrs Aurelia E. Allen of New York.
The following is an extract from the sermon of Rev. R. H. Singleton, taking as his text, Psalm 16-11:
Dear Friends; Our presence on this occasion is not for the purpose of communication but now lies before us, but, that we may pay the last tribute of respect to a dutiful and affectionate daughter, a tender and faithful wife, a loving sister and a true friend, and that from her life and example we may gain inspiration to walk in the right path.
Sister White was born 20 years ago in Oliver, Ga., spent the most of her life in Savannah, went to New York City about seven years ago, where she has since resided. She chose the path of life, that our text surges at an early age. So tender she was her age at the time of her acceptance of Christ as her guide along this path that those who were appointed to examine into the church doubted her knowledge of the step she was taking; but after her testimony in her first love feast, all doubts were removed, and she was admitted. This waswing she pastored in the church doubted Ms. Searn from that time to the day of her death, she kept the end of this path in view.
While afflicted with the frailties of our
common humanity, she never forgot that she had entered the path of life. She was a dutiful daughter, always looking out for the intere*t of her mther, and dividing each month a portion of her earnings with her; a loving sister and a true friend, who she has all to herself, a family and friends. Twenty-five short months ago, she was married to Mr. JoWhite, in New York, with whom she looked forward to many years of wedded bliss, but it was not to be. Those month*sped away all too quickly, and now she is no more. Her body is being prepared for her marriage, and she is all too fond of her bins in lonely sadness. Being such a daughter, she (oul) not help being a faithful wife, ever solicited of the interest and welfare of her husband "She paid her first and last visit to this city in October last, and as if she received a premonition of her death, she unde*d her bins and be*urned for her departed. Her faith in the integrity of her husband was unmiluted, and he has shown by his actions on this sad occasion that her confidence was not misplaced. Many a young man having married a daughter of the South in the far-far North away from home and living one hundred years old, he unde*d his bins and be*urned for weeks, and even months before any one at home could know of it, but this young man, faithful to his marriage vows, when medical skill failed to afford relief, and the loving companion was snatched from his side by the hand of death, at the time suffering from a humble submission to Him who doeth all things well. He spares no pain or expenses to bring all that is mortal of his companion hundreds of miles that the loved ones at home may take the last sad look into the face of one whom they see no more than a few days the Green White Throne. What a noble example for the young man-hood of today! God will bless him for this that he has done
Sister White is no more. We should not sorrow for her as for one of whom we had no hope. Her death was that of a Christian, because she followed the path of life to its ending in the presence of God where there is fullness of joy. She has exchanged the fleeting joys and pleasures of this life for the everlasting joys and pleasures of her heavenly inheritance.
Today her surroundings are different from any she had known before, and who can describe the joys of her life should be able to relieve the pain in her body, but she is now where pain are no more. No envoys breath, or tongue of shander can reach her more. Could she return and speak to us at this hour, she would say "Birth has no resting place for me. I am now at home with my Lord," And Oh! that going home, I can see her now, as last year, she stood on the deck of the proud steamer as it gilded down the river, waving a last farewell to her husband, and she said goodbye for the last time, but she was going home to her husband. Nothing could detain her she knew that he was awaiting her coming.
So on last Friday evening, in the crowded City of New York, the summon came from her Lord and Master to "Come Home." No one saw the telegram handed to her. No one heard the hoops of the church, no one heard the wails of the Faith and Hope harnessed to the chariot of Love but as the message was handed her, the charioteer of eternity entered and bade her arise and enter into rest. Her spirit at once left its house of clay, looking back bade it farewell until the archangel's trump shall sound to awake her spirit. She was chariot, up through the ethereal way, past worlds, constellations, systems and universes, straight to the heavenly city the capitol of the Universe where she is now in the presence of her God. Should we sorrow for her? I say no. Faith amends, the will be mine to bear Earth's loss is Heaven's gain. I command the dear husband to the care of Him who alone can heal the broken heart. You will return to your far-off home alone. There will be no one to greet you at the door. The sweet voice is stilled, those foot-tops will be heard no more. There will be no family board, and all will be sad and lonely, but the God who has kept you hitherto, will keep you to the end.
To the mother and loved ones. You will meet no more on earth, but remember the last sad meeting on the river bank, and know that she is gone over and now awaits our coming. May the church and all endeavor to meet Sister White in that land where parting never comes. While in an agony of pain, in almost her last hour she sang from first to last that they loudly leached harm to the coming to the cross. Now while we shall all sing a verse of this hymn, let us pray that we may die the death of the righteous and our last hour may be like hers. Amen.
MR. JOS. W. WHITE.
The above is a cut of Mr Jos. W. White the bereaved husband of Mrs. White. Mr. White has been living in New York for many years and has held several positions of trust. He is now the head bellman of the Grenoble hotel, of which the late Warren Leland, Jr., was proprietor; in which employment he has been for years. For quite a while he was in the employment of the Y. M. C. A. of New York city. Mr. White has the confidence and respect of his employees, and all of those whom he is connected. He has a large circle of friends, and is well-thought of by them. He will leave to assume his duties about the first of June.
Woodville Notes.
The 23rd Anniversary of the Sengstacke Band of Hope of Savannah, Woodville, was celebrated last Sunday at 5:30 p.m., in Congregational church. The following programme was quite interesting and the music was of high order: 1. Call to order and opening address by the president. 2. Roll call by the secretary.
3. Scripture reading by the Rev.
Loyd, of the Congregational
church.
4. Solo, by Mrs. Alice Ferguson
5. Prayer by the Rev. A. Frasier
of the Baptist church
6. Solo, by Mrs. J. Jones.
7. Oration, by the Rev. J. E. Jones, of the A. M. E. church.
S. Duet, by Misses Mary and Joana Sengstacke.
9. Collection taken up for the A.M.A. for Talladega college, by Messrs Rema Young and Wm. Henry, Jr.
The Rev. J. E. Jones held the audience spellbound in his very able address as he reviewed the past work of the society and its object. The Sengstacke Band of Hope was organized 24 years ago to aid the sick, and bury the dead to encourage education, temperance and morality. Its membership is over 200. Its real estate and cash in the bank is over $600,000. It is the largest society in the community and is largely composed of young people, since persons over 40 years of age cannot become members. Deacon Henry in his installation remarked that the finance committee having examined the treasury for the 24th time, find that the Rev. Sengstacke has not in 24 years lost one cent of the society's money, and the Rev. Jones said in his oration that it speaks well for him as well as it does for the wise choice of the order. There was no standing room in that large meeting, and many went back home for this reason. Bishop Turner has sent the A M E people a good minister this year, and if they will only tally around him the cause of Methodism is sure to prosper and help elevate the people.
Tuesday night, May 14, Dr. Sengstacke preached at Tabeinacle Baptist church of which the Rev. A. Fraser is pastor. The subject was the Love of Christ and what it does for a believer. He showed plainly that people are not Christians if they are unreasonably wedded to their own opinions on religious matters, until they think hardly of and persecute those whose views differ from their own. That religion without love is dead. He referred to heaven as the place of love, and hell where charity is absent.

Woodhouse were present and assisted the captain in making the visitors feel at home. The gentlemen returned home the same night.
Sunday last was the annual thanksgiving day of the Grand United Order of Old-Fellows. As announced in THE TRIBUNE last week, the lodges met at Armour Lodge room and marched to the F. A. B. church where they were joined by the two Households and Juvenile societies. The program as arranged was carried out. The sermon by P. N. F. and Rev. P H. Travis was in keeping with the affair, and every one announced it as being a great effort. The collection taken up was large and the members turned out strongly.

Beach Commencement.
The Beach Institute will close next week. Tomorrow night the baccalaureate sermon will be preached at the Second Baptist church by Rev. J. J. Durham D. D. This service commences at 8 o'clock.
The examination will take place on Thursday and on Friday night at the chapel at 8 o'clock, the commencement exercises will come off. An appropriate program has been arranged for it which will undoubtedly be up to the standard.
Miss B S. Reik, and her indefatigable corps of teachers have done much for the Beach this year, and is attested in part by the large number of graduates, the largest number of recent years.
The following will graduate:
Rosa B. Armstrong, Louise M. Bennett, Roselle H. Dunnore, John A. Dunmore, Fannie L. Deveaux, Lucile F. Dixon, John M. Kennedy, Lillian C. Reynolds, Geneva L. Stiles Romeo M. Smith, 12nd honors, Maria A. Sheftall, Frances S. Tropey, Pierce M. Thompson, 1st honors. Christophene E., Walker.
Pastor Elected.
During Sunday last, the First African Baptist Church had a service of prayers; prior to the calling of a pastor. Late in the afternoon the service terminated into a business meeting. The unanimity of feeling and blessing for this meeting that so many prayers asked for, was manifested. There was only one nominee, and that was the Rev. Mr. J. W. Carr, of Indianapolis, Ind. Upon the taking of the vote, there was not a dissenting voice. Rev. Car will arrive in the city next week, and assume charge of his work. The members of the church are to be commended for such a selection.
Base Ball.
The game of base ball that was played on Monday last between the S L P C and the Augusta base ball teams was very interesting and was witnessed by a large crowd. The Augusta band played at intervals which was enlivening to the occasion. The Augusta's seemed to have had things their way in the beginning of the game. The S L P C's didn't like this so well and soon got down to business, and succeeded in catching on to the Augusta crack pitcher, and touched him just a little often, which had much to do with their winning of the game. The S L P C's deserve much credit regardless of the close score which was only 8-7 in favor of them.
Raising Funds.
As our readers are aware that the edifice of the First Bryan Baptist church on West Broad street was completely destroyed by fire some weeks ago. Steps are now being taken to rebuild the edifice. Appeals have been sent out and several members and friends of the church have lists to solicit aid from the public. This is a worthy cause and the appeal should not be allowed to go unheeded. This congregation is very seldom before the public, and it really deserves the unstinted support of everybody. The-venerable pastor Rev. Alex. Harris should be encouraged by the liberality of his fellow-citizens.
The / friends of Mr. Frank J Wright are soiry to hear of his rious illness.

A NEW TRANSPORT WAGON,
Can Carry Ratlons for Forty Menon Outs
post Duty or Serve With a Battery.
The old {dea of-taking few mezsure
for the comfort of the troops in tht
field, because they are usually com-
pelled by the force of circumstances te
do without any comforts, was exploded
long ago and to-day every good officer
tries to bring his men to the field
of battle in as fresh a condition aa
possible,
One of the most arduous duties
(other than actual fighting on the fir-
ing Hne) is outpost duty, and any
means that will lighten this service in
the fleld will be welcomed by thearmy.
Wagon transportation will not always
be available far to the front, and yet
the South African campaign has shown
that even at the outposts it can often
come into play, and would be of ines-
timable value in sparing the men un-
necessary labor.
A new military transport and shelter
wagon is the direct outcome of the late
experience in the Transvaal. It’ was
designed by a volunteer artHilery colo-
nel of Sheffield, England. The wagon
4a bullt of wood and is mounted on
springs and four wheels. The tires
are elght inches ‘Wide, to facilitate
travel over soft ground, and the rear
whecls are on a broader gauge than
those in front. It {s arranged for horse
or traction engine draft.
The top of the wagon box is sur-
rounded by stout wire netting, inside
ot which is the platform. Under the
platform floor is a water cistern of 40
gallons capacity. One each side of the
wagon, are hinged doors, closing re-
cesses “in whichta canvas shelter is
kept rolled up. This canvas, can be
run out‘in a very few minttes, and
when held up by the wagon at one
end and by posts planted out at the
side of the wagon at the other, will
form a rectangular tent for fifty men.
Seats are also provided at the sides of
the wagon in the form of hanging
steps, so that the men can be carried
on them when necessary. When not
in use these seats can be folded up out
of the way. Rjfie or carbine racks are
alsg part of the equipment. The
wagon can carry four tons of stores
and would thus provide a detachment
of forty men with rations for 100 days.
It is designed elther for the supply of
a detachment on outpost duty or as
part of the equipment of a field bat-
tery, and with its tent shelter, will
prove far more valuable, under cir-
cumstances where horse or traction
engine draft is available at all, than
the transport wagons now in use—
