DEED.IS SHROUDED IN MYSTERY Victim Was an Orphan and Was Thought to Have Run Away From Adopted Home.—Remains Found in Branch. The dead body of Berta Jackson, an orphan and adopted daughter of R. S. Flowers, a dairyman, was found Monday morning in a small stream of water about a quarter of a mile from Flower's home, between Decatur' and Poplar Spring, Ga., and about six miles from Atlanta. The child had been assaulted and murdered. Berta Jackson, who was eleven years of age, had been missing since last Wednesday, and Flowers had been searching for her. Monday morning at 5 o'clock Judas H. Parker, a gatherer of ferns and water cress, discovered the body. It lay in a shallow pool of water, a portion of a creek that empties into East Lake. Parker, having heard of the disappearance of Berta Jackson, hurried to Flower's place and told what he had seen. Flowers and a crowd of neighbors went to the creek and drew the child's body fro mthe water. The authorities at Decatur were notified and an inquest was ordered by Ordinary Ragsdale. A double crime had been committed. The child had been assaulted and murdered. There were evidences of the girl having been beaten and choked. On one side of her throat was a cut made by a knife, but whether before or after her death is not known. According to the evidence that came out before the coroner's jury, the girl was last seen alive at her adopted father's home Wednesday afternoon about 4 o'clock. She was seen by a negro field hand, a negro who was employed on the adjoining place, and by Flowers. The negro on the adjoining lot saw her walking away from the field where she had been talking with the negro. The negro employed by Flowers saw her walking from the barn to the house. Flowers saw her go into the house. And that was the last time she was ever seen alive. The terrible crimes were committed not far from where Edward Flanagan slew his victims, and that memorable crime was recalled by many Monday when the murder of Berta Jackson was being investigated. Robert Flowers, the man who adopted the child, is a young man who at one time taught school in DeKalb county. He later moved to Griffin and while there went to Jackson to take the child. Flowers is a man of delicate build and seemingly of a nervous temperment. He/held his lower lip tweezed the first finger and the thumb he right hand while talking to the her's jury. The inquest was held under the suvision of Ordinary W. M. Rags. Dr. J. H. Green was the first less examined. With the assist- of Dr. W. J. Houston, he had a post mortem examination of body after it was carried from the to the house. He stated that his opinion that the girl's death caused by several heavy blows he nead and by suffocation by.

While a freight train on the Lackawana was taking water at Vestal, ten miles west of Binghampton, N. Y., at 9:45 Saturday night, it was run into from behind by a double-header wild cat freight. In the second car from the caboose of the stationary train was a large quantity of dynamite, which was exploded by the impact. Six men are known to have been killed and three others fatally hurt. Both trains were blown to atoms, but the remainder of the crews escaped with slight injuries. Much damage was done by the concussion, most of the windows in Vestal and Union, across the river from Vestal, being shattered. Binghamton's plate glass fronts did not escape, many of the largest glasses in the center of the city being broken. The shock was felt at a distance of thirty miles. A later report states that five men were killed and seven injured in Saturday night's wreck at Vestal. The killed are: John P. Kelly, head brakeman; S. R. Polhamus, conductor; Elmer Polhamus, trainman; John Coulter, fireman; Fred Witherby, fireman. AYCOCK IS ASKED FOR HELP. Seaboard Officials Blame Strikers for Dynamite Explosion In Roundhouse at Raleigh. About twenty men arrived in Raleigh, N. C., Friday night to take the places of striking machinists in the Ceaboard Air Line repair shops there. They were quartered in one of the company's buildings. Six were at work Saturday morning, when some unknown person, said to be a sympathizer with the strikers, as the latter deny any violence themselves, ignited a fuse and caused an explosion in the old round house in which the men were employed. Division Superintendent Turner at once wrote Governor Aycock that certain evil disposed persons were trespassing in the company's premises despite notices to keep off, and were attempting to persuade employees to quit; had caused an explosion, which produced great alarm among the workmen. Superintendent Turner asked the governor to appoint four designated men as railway police. The governor declined to make the appointments, saying he believed the appointments would tend to a breach of the peace rather than to the preservation of law and order, as they would be railway and not state police, and that the strikers and their friends would immediately recognize this. He says that the state laws are ample for protection and that the railway can, at its own expense, employ as many guards as may be necessary. He assured Superintendent Turner that any attempt to injure the railway's property or men will be met with the full power of the state. The governor declares plainly to strike sympathizers that no violation of the law will be tolerated, and the utmost power of the state will be exerted. The company has put guards on duty. ARBITRATION AGAIN SUGGESTED. United States Anxious that Hague Tribunal Settle Chinese Muddle. bunal Settle Chinese Muddle. The United States government has again appealed to the powers to submit the present issues at Pekin over the indemnity propositions to the arbitration of the Hague tribunal. Mr. Rockhill, who has been watching for an opportunity, cabled Secretary Hay friday night for permission to make application, and the secretary Saturday morning cabled him authority to do so. It is believed the ministers at Pekin have become involved beyond extrication in the present issues and this proposition may be the only way out. Former Surgeon General Suicides. Major W. H. Daly, surgeon general on the staff of Lieutenant General Miles in Porto Rico, committed suicide at his home in Pittsburg, Pa., Sunday by shooting himself in the right temple. INCORPORATED TOWNS CENSUS. Bulletin Issued at Washington Shows Large Increase in Urban Population. Large Increase In Urban Population. The census office at Washington issued a bulletin Saturday giving the population of incorporated places in the country. The bulletin shows that there are 10,602 such places as compared with 7,478 in 1890. The incorporated places contain, in the aggregate, 35,849,516 inhabitants, as compared with 26,079,828 persons living in incorporated places in 1890. The combined population in the incorporated towns and cities constitute 47 per cent of the population of the entire country as against 41 per cent in the towns of 1890. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. JUNE 15.1901. SEVENTEEN DOOMED All Attempts at Rescue of Buried Miners Hoplessly Given Up. FATE OF VICTIMS NOW SEALED Among Those Killed Was a Cousin of President McKinley—Many Wives Widowed and Children Orphaned. A news special of Tuesday from West Newton, Pa., states that not a practical miner in the district believes that one of the seventeen men entombed in the Port Royal mine by the explosion Monday night is still alive. There is no fire in the mine, to judge from appearances at the pit mouth, but the force of the explosion was so great that none of the men, so the miners say, could have survived the shock. The list of the dead includes: William McCune, superintendent; married, four children. John Heck, mine boss; married, three children. William Allison, superintendent, West Newton; married, four children, Daniel Alsop, mine boss, and thirteen miners. William McCune was superintendent of the Port Royal district, comprising five mines. He was a large stockholder in the Pittsburg Coal Company, and his family lives in a handsome residence on Vine street, West Newton. William Allison was a second cousin of President McKinley. Rescuers Forced to Flee. At 9:40 a. m. Tuesday an inspection party went into the mine through the shaft on the Baltimore and Ohio side of the Younghiougheny river. It was their purpose to penetrate as far as possible to locate the dead bodies, with hardly hope of finding any one alive. The rescue party had been in the mine about an hour when the muffled report of another explosion was heard issuing from the depths of the shaft, and a rush for the cage was made by the men above, who thought that these rescuers had met the fate of those who had gone before. A dozen men volunteered to go down and try to rescue the party, but their services were not required, as the signal to holst the cage was given from the bottom, and when it reached the top three unconscious forms were found lying in it. Fire Inspector Callahan and Fire Boss W. McFee, of the Wickhaven mines, were the most dangerously hurt of the party, and these men were taken to the hotel near by where two physicians worked with them almost an hour before they could be brought back to life. This last explosion in the minds of many seems to settle the fate of the entombbed men, and all hope of getting any of them out alive has been abandoned. FLOWERS HELD BY OFFICIALS. The Foster Father of Murdered Girl, Bertha Flowers, Arrested and Jailed on Suspicion. A special from Atlanta, Ga., says: R. S. Flowers, foster father of the murdered child, Berta Jackson, was arrested at his home near Poplar Springs at 1:30 o'clock Wednesday by Sheriff Talley, of DeKalb county. Statements reaching the ears of the sheriff that Flowers was waiting for a good opportunity to leave, together, it is said, with the evidence before the coroner's jury, resulted in the arrest. Dark stains on the floor, a dark stained bonnet, a crushed head and some tangled statements are now the clues upon which the authorities of DeKalb county, assisted by Atlanta detectives, are trying to unravel the mysterious and brutal murder of Berta Jackson. The dark crime, as dark as ever blotted the criminal records of DeKalb county, has stirred up the people and every possible effort will be made to ascertain who was guilty of the atrocious crime upon a defenseless little child. Tuesday while the Flowers family was absent from their home attending the child's funeral, the officers made a thorough search of the house. They detected dark stains on the floor of the back porch near the kitchen door. The wood was cut away by officers with the stains upon it and a chemist will be called upon to say whether the stains were made by blood. In a closet a child's bonnet was found hidden and upon it were the same dark stains which had been detected on the floor of the back porch. Chemists will also analyze the stains on the bonnet. A closer examination of the murdered child's head showed that the back of the skull had been crushed with some heavy instrument, such as a hammer. STORM IN OKLAHOMA Worst Disaster Ever Experienced In the New Territory. MANY LIVES REPORTED LOST Thirteen Are Known to Be Dead, While the List of Injured Is Heavy—Great Property Damage Entailed. The storm which passed over eastern Oklahoma Friday night was one of the most severe since the opening of the Strip. A feature of the storm was the extent of territory covered, sweeping down from the Kansas state line and covering about fifty miles in width, the rain, wind and nail swept over the country as far south as old Oklahoma. The rain simply fell in torrents from early in the evening until midnight. The fury of the storm centered in a tornado at about 6:30 p. m., which formed at a point near the Kansas state line and just on the county lines of Kentucky and Grant. Oklahoma. The twister took a southeasterly course and was most disastrous on a belt ten miles square in eastern Kay county, and the little town of Eddy was struck and of the twelve or fifteen buildings in the place all were leveled to the ground except the railroad station and elevator. Flying lumber was scattered for miles. At Eddy three persons were killed and seven more or less-seriously hurt. It is reported that two persons were killed at Billings, but this cannot be verified. Five farm houses with barns and out-buildings were blown away, but the occupants all escaped without injury. Fine fields o. wheat in the midst of harvest were laid waste. The tail end of the tornado fell with a terrible force upon Tonkawa. Thirty dwellings and business houses were scattered like so much loose lumber. The citizens of the town had been watching the advance of the tornado and had sought shelter in caves and collars. No fatalities are reported at this point. Strange to say, only a few persons received even a scratch. A few miles from this point the tornado seemed to go up in the air and the country below did not suffer much from the storm except by. washouts, a stiff wind and the hull which damaged wheat and fruit. The financial loss by the storm is about $100,000. Two big church buildings and about twelve residences were damaged at Tonkawa. Twelve houses were blown away, leaving absolutely nothing. Seven Persons Killed. The storm was particularly severe in Noble and Kay counties. The gale commenced at 10 p. m. and by 1 a. m. was blowing at tornado speed, carrying everything before it. At Billings, Noble county, much damage was done. Seven people were killed and many severely injured. A cloudburst occurred near Hennessey, King Fisher county, and King Fisher city suffered severely. At Blackwell three persons were killed and much damage to property done. J. H. Crawley, a prominent contractor, was killed by lightning. Eddy, a town twelve miles southwest of Blackwell, was blown away. At that place several persons were killed and others injured. GREAT ANGLO-AMERICAN BANK. Rumor that Millionaire Morgan Will Organize Big Institution in London. According to the London correspondent of The New York World, it is reported that J. P. Morgan is engaged in arranging for the establishment of a great anglo-American bank with a capital of $100,000,000. It is said that it is proposed to abolish all of the principal financial agencies and banks already engaged in Anglo-American business. The proposed institution, it is said, will be the largest of its kind in the world and is intended to be the principal agency for the already vast and rapidly growing banking transactions between Europe and America. Philippine Tariff Not Abolished. A dispatch received at Manila saying the Philippine tariff stands until the new tariff is put in force, dissipates the excitement occasioned by Colonel Edwards's Washington dispatch indicating the abolition of the Philippine tariff. Prominent Physician Suicides. Dr. Ablecht is dead at Denver, Col., from a dose of cyanide of potassium, taken with sulcidal intent. He was formerly one of the most prominent physicians and surgeons in New Orleans and for several years was demonstrator of Tulane Medical college in that city.

President McKinley Puts Quietus on Discussion By Making a Public Statement. President McKinley Tuesday announced that he would not accept a nomination for a third term, in the following statement: "I regret that the suggestion of a third term has been made. I doubt whether I am called upon to give it notice. But there are now questions of the gravest importance before the administration and the country, and their just consideration should not be prejudiced in the public mind by even the suspicion of a thought of a third term. In view, therefore, of the reiteration of the suggestion of it, I will say now, once for all, expressing a long settled conviction, that I not only am not and will not be a candidate for a third term, but would not accept a nomination were it tendered me. "My only ambition is to serve throughout my second term to the acceptance of my countrymen, whose generous confidence I so deeply appreciate, and then, with them, do my duty in the ranks of private citizenship. WILLIAM McKINLEY." "Executive mansion, Washington, June 10, 1901." President McKinley's official announcement, disposing of the third term idea suggested by some of his admirers, created no great surprise among his friends who have known of his deep convictions on the subject. When Senator Depew's suggestion ten days ago that the president should be re-elected for a third term began to be seriously discussed, and when several of the president's friends felt called upon to indorse the idea, the president decided that the public mind should be instantly cleared of even the suspicion that he was seeking to break down the precedents of the past by becoming a candidate for another term. He broached the subject to Secretary Long late Monday afternoon. He told him he believed that an announcement at the very inception of the discussion would be wise, and Monday night officially informed the members of the cabinet, who had been informally called together, of his decision. It met with hearty approval. There was unanimous concurrence in the belief that discussion of a third term would not only place the president in a false light before the country if allowed to go on, but would arouse antagonism and greatly embarrass the administration in the solution of the great questions before it. The brief announcement which the president had prepared was given out by Secretary Cortelyou at noon. After the cabinet meeting one of the members said they were unanimous in their approval of the president's pronunciation regarding the third term. The member pointed out that if the president had allowed the discussion to proceed for any length of time, notwithstanding the fact that he has never entertained even the most remote idea of being a candidate for a third term, an announcement similar to that just made would have been subject to misconstruction that he had been forced by public opinion to give up an ambition which he had never held. The president is being deluged with telegrams commendatory of his announcement putting at rest all third term rumors. Chinese telegrams began arriving at the white house as soon as the news reached the public and are from prominent people throughout the country. They place emphasis on the opportuneness of the statement and the beneficent effect on the country from a political standpoint. None of the telegrams were made public. REFUSED TO RECONSIDER. Cubans Decide to Let the Vote on Platt Amendment Stand. The question of reconsidering the former vote on the Platt amendment came up for a short discussion Tuesday afternoon in the Cuban constitutional convention at Havana. In order not to arouse opposition the conservatives took the stand that there was no necessity for reconsidering the vote, inasmuch as the form in which the amendment had been passed was not satisfactory to the United States and could not be accepted as a part of the constitution of Cuba. Ultimately the convention unanimously agreed not to reconsider the vote. TO "PAY THEIR RESPECTS." President Hastily Summons Cabinet For a "Mysterious" Meeting. In response to messages from the president late Monday evening after an hour's talk with the secretary of state, all the members of the cabinet in the city assembled at the white house at 8 o'clock in evening dress. The object of the gathering was not known to the members of the cabinet, as the invitations to them simply asked them to call at 8 o'clock. Several of the members said the call was simply to pay their respects. NO 36: GOV. SAMFORD DEAD DEMISE SUDDEN BUT EXPECTED Battle With Fell Disease Was Heroic But of No Avail—Whole State, la Plunged In Mourning. William J. Samford, governor of Alabama, died at the residence of Professor and Mrs. A. A. Persone, in Tuscaloosa, at 10:55 Tuesday night of chronic valvular disease of the heart. His death was sudden, though known to be impending. He was surrounded by all members of his family when the end came, save his two oldest sons, W. H. and T. Samrord, and his married daughters, Mrs. James Smith and Mrs. S. A. Dowdell, of Opelika. Dr. W. G. Somerville, who had been in constant attendance upon the governor for two weeks, was with him, as were Drs. W. M. Faulk and G. R. Rau, of the Brice hospital, consulting physicians; C. A. L. Samford, a brother of the governor, Mrs. J. T. Searcy and Mrs. A. A. Persons were also at the bedside of the distinguished Alabamian when death claimed him. Governor Samford arrived at Tuscaloosa from Stafford's Springs, Miss., on the 24th day of May, en route to Montgomery, and decided to stay over a day or so with his relatives, Professor and Mrs. Persons. He afterwards decided to remain long enough to attend the annual meeting of the university trustees. He attended almost all of the meetings. During the time he had a number of sinking spells with his heart, which did not become known to the general public. About week ago his condition became critical that a statement was given the public. His condition flung Sunday night he suffered so Monday and early Tuesday he dermately well, but Tuesday aftertime became worse, his condition in o'clock becoming extremely crief hypostatic congestion of the lungs' set in. However, his wond vitality caused him to revive later but the physicians had practicgiven up all hopes. The distinguished patient seen somewhat better only a short time fore the end came and spoke to wife two minutes before he expli. His pulse and respiration failed ve' suddenly, and he was dead before those about him could hardly realize it. Governor Samford had been more conscious and had spoken more rationally a short time before his death than he had done for several hours previously. During the night the most heroic treatment was resorted to, nitro glycerine being used among other things. The scene around his bedside was most touching. His wife, who had been with him constantly, was the last one spoken to by the governor. He called her by his affectionate love name of "Old Lady" only a moment or two before he expired. WORKS MAY.CLOSE DOWN. Strike of Machinists at Newport News Reaches An Acute Stage. The strike situation at Newport News, Va., has taken a most serious turn. Mr. A. L. Hopkins, assistant superintendent of the Newport News Ship Building and Dry Dock Company, is authority for the statement that an acute stage has now been reached, and heroic measures will be taken in the next few days. Mr. Hopkins says that if the machinists do not return to work at once, the immense plant of the company, the largest in America, will be closed and all operators suspended. Several departments, he says, will be closed by the latter part of the week and the entire plant will be eventually shut down. The result will be that nearly 7,000 men who are now employed at the shipyard will be thrown out of employment indefinitely. JUBILEE CONVENTION Of National Y. M. C. A. Association Called to Order in Boston. A great congregation greeted President E. L. Shuey, of Dayton, Ohio, as he called to order the International Jubilee convention of the Young Men's Christian Association building at Boston Tuesday. From all the globe the uclegates had come, bringing with them individual enthusiasm in the great work for young men. The big hall was radiant with color, while standards on the floor told the location of state delegations and the seats of distinguished men from other countries and lands.

ONE of the New Jersey judges says that "damn" is not a curse. ONE of the greatest evils to the poor of the city, is the several loan offices. THE TRIBUNE is read by thousands of readers each week, including the borrowers Policy playing is not only confined to the Negro. Many white men are slaves to the gig 4-11-44. CERTAIN magistrates are waxing fat from fees collected from Negro women who are a disgrace to the race. GOV. CANDLER is to be commended for his prompt action in ordering out troops to protect the colored man accused of criminal assault in Carroll County. We may offend some, yet we can not keep from advising a certain class of our people to keep off the street cars and certain thoroughfares if they are not tidy and clean. PRESIDENT McKINLEY has declared against a third term. He never contemplated such a thing. If the president wanted to be president again, he has a sufficient number of loyal Americans to give it to him. The magistrate and city courts are doing rushing business. The bulk of the criminal business effects our people. It would be a God-send if a certain class of our people could only attend to their own business and keep out of the clutches of the law. It would be real beneficial if each of our pastors would as a prelude to their sermons give a ten minute talk to our people on their everyday duty. This kind of talk is necessary. But very few of our people, especially those who do not keep up with the newspapers, are aware of what is expected of them as citizens. The Supreme court has decided in favor of state Treasurer Parks He contended that no money could be borrowed from the public property fund for any purpose. A sufficient amount wanted to be borrowed for the paying of the public school teachers. The teachers will have to wait until December before receiving their pay. LAST week in Carrollton, a mob gathered to lynch a colored man convicted of criminal assault. The plucky sheriff prevented this from being done. He had a posse and guarded the jail. When the mobbers came, they were warned away, but paid no attention to the warning. The plucky sheriff, after the mobbers commenced breaking down the doors, fired upon them, killing one man and wounded several others. The cowardly outlaws seeing the determination of the sheriff, withdrew thereby the life of the accused was saved. If there were a few more sheriffs throughout the south like this plucky sheriff of Carroll County, there would be fewer gatherings of mobbers. Much has been said recently about the Platt amendment, and but a very few persons know what the Platt amendment is. For the benefit of our readers we give it below: 1. That Cuba shall make no treaty with any foreign power which impairs its indepen- 2. That no debt shall be incurred which the ordinary revenues of the island cannot pay. 3. That the United States holds the right to intervene for the preservation of Cuban independence. 4. That all acts of the United States troops in Cuba are ratified and validated. 5. That Cuba carry out the plans for the sanitation of the cities of the island. 6. That the Isle of Pines be omitted from the constitutional bonds of Cuba. 7. That Cuba sell or lease to the United States lands necessary for coaling and naval stations; and 8. That these provisions be embodied in a permanent treaty with the United States. Law Abiding Citizens. Please allow me space in your valuable paper to speak. I saw in your last issue (sth inst.) that it had been reported that the colored people had ordered a lot of Winchester rifles to protect one Reeves, a murderer. I am proud to say that it is not so. The Reeves are law-abiding citizens and are depending upon the law for justice. While it was very surprising that a verdict of guilty was rendered, still they hope for a new trial. The colored people of Dodge summit to the law whether just or unjust. I remain yours for the good of the race. G.B. Burny. The Second Oldest Company In The Battalion. The second oldest company in the Firs: Battalion Infantry, Georgia State Troops, Colored, is the Savannah Light Infantry. This company has had a long and honorable record Soon after the war it did excellent service for the city in fighting fire as an xn company. As soch, it had as foremen, Messrs. Francis McNeil, Henry Taylor and Isaiah Castelow. In 1872 it was formed into The Colored Volunteers and afterwards this name was changed to that of the Savannah Light Infantry with Capt. Isaiah Castelow as commander, 1st. Lieut. W. H Royall, and Charles Jackson, Anderson Wiggins, and William Railford as the junior lieutenants. About a year afterwards an election for officers was ordered, which resulted in the election of Maj. W. H. Royall as captain, as against Captain Castelow. The lieutenants were Charles Jackson, John Ancrum, and William Raiford. The other lieutenants under captain Royall, were Daniel D. Walthour, Ben Williams and H. N. Walton. [Name] LIECT. JULIUS MAXWELL. This company has the distinction of having had only two captains from its being commissioned to the present. Maj. Royall served as captain until he was elected as major of the Battalion on Sept. 30, 1890. He was succeeded by Capt. H. N. Walton who was elected Nov. 4, 1890. Lieut. H. L. Cooper was elected at the same time. Capt. Walton was first in the service as an enlisted man of the Georgia Infantry of the late Third Battalion of Augusta in which he served three years. In moving to this city he joined the Savannah Light Infantry and was elected in 1889 as its first lieutenant. Under his command the company grew wonderfully until today it is one of the strongest and best disciplined in the Battalion. The lieutenants to serve under Capt. Walton, but who are not in the service as such are, H. L. Cooper, Ben. Williams, Crawford Bryant, J. C Beatie, and C. H. Cohen. The present lieutenants are Lieut. Julius Maxwell and Lieut. J. C. Williams. Lieut Maxwell is one of the oldest active members in the battalion. He saw service in the Chatham Light Infantry and was reputed to be the best drilled man in the city. He was orderly sergeant in that company, elected as first lieutenant in 1880 and elected captain in 1886. On August 22, 1890, he resigned the the captaincy and joined Co. D. as an enlisted man. He was made first sergeant and on Feb. 12, 1895, was commissioned first lieutenant which commission he still holds. 12 Lilut J. C. WILLIAMS. Lient. J. C. Williams enlisted in the company a number of years ago and served honorably. He was a sergeant, breveted as lieutenant, and soon afterwards was regularly elected as second lieutenant. One of the best first sergeants in the battalion, is Sergt. R. W. Spaulding. He was connected with the late Forest City Light Infantry and after its disbandment, enlisted in Co. D where he was soon afterwards made first sergeant, which position he is now acceptably filling. On Monday afternoon last the company celebrated its 28th anniver- sary. The night before it went in a body to St. Stephen's church, where a patriotic sermon was preached by the rector, Rev. Bright. The parade T. H. SERGT. R. W. SPAULDING. was a grand one. The company was out in its strength and the marching was superb. At night the anniversary ball was given at the armory of Co. A and was well attended. The festivities wound up by a picnic on Tuesday at Lincoln Park. On this occasion Co. G from Augusta was expected, but on account of the inability to arrange rates with the railroad company, it could not come. Excursions.

After an interval of five years St. Stephen's Sunday School and Congregation are about to have a picnic at Wilmington Island, on Tuesday, July 2nd. In former years when desirable picnic grounds were at hand few missed going to "St. Stephen's picnic". The picnic ground is an ideal spot; the pavilion is built right over the water, and is well protected. There are bath houses, good drinking water and excellent fishing grounds in the immediate vicinity. These with the harpists who will furnish the music will prove a boon to those who are fond of a day's innocent recreation. The trip will be made by rail and boat, the cars leaving the Bolton street junction at 5:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Entertained Friends. Mrs. Lizia Yeoman, Lopez, and Mrs. Alice Yeoman Nicholson entertained at their home, East Broad and Thirty-third streets, on Monday afternoon last, a few of their many friends. A game of croquet was a feature of the occasion, after which the collision was seized. All present expressed themselves as being well pleased. Those present were: Mrs. H. B.

Pearson Pointers. Please allow me space to say a word about the closing of Miss Prof. Annie E. Collins' school, of this place, on Friday, June 4, at the A. M. E. church. The church was tastefully decorated with evergreens. The exercises were witnessed by a large crowd of white persons as well as the parents and friends of the children. Among the white persons were Hon. Jeff Kirkland, the Ex-County School Commissioner, and Prof. W. L. Dauvall. M. i-S Collins has proven herself worthy of being called a good teacher. Her children were well drilled in all the parts of the exercises. At night the concert was "out of sight." All the people are well satisfied with her. The people at the still of Mr H. F. Sears want her to teach for them, but on account of her promising to teach at Leliaton, she will be unable to teach for them. She has won a warm place in the hearts of all the parents. Another one is in town, guess who? G. D. Bryant Local Hapenings Tersely Told. Bring us your job printing. Bring us your for printing. Don't brow THE TRIBUNE; subscribe yourself.

It was the strains of Mendelshin's march played by Miss Constance Hendrickson, the attendants entered the church. The ushers were Dr. J. Henry Bugg, Dr. T. James Davis, Dr. C. Bryant Whaley and Mr. L. S. Reed. The bride entered the church leaning on the arm of her grand-father, Mr. Charles S. Butler, and was met by the groom under a beautiful arch and wedding bell of flowers. The bride wore a gown of white organdie with tucks, lace, and silk rosettes over white tuffity silk, and wore orange blossoms in her hair and carried a bunch of white roses and ferns. Her costume was very pretty indeed and she looked bewitchingly in it. The bride's maid, Miss Georgia Herd, was also neatly attired, wearing white organdie with silk lace yoke and trimmed with baby ribbon. Master Earle Ashton, the page, wore ancient costume; green velvet trimmed with pink silk. He looked handsome and cute and elicited admiration. The little flower girls, Sadie Boifeuillet and Hattie Parkhurst, wore blue organdies, with white baby ribbon. They also looked neat.

The presents received were numerous, and many of them were handsome and costly, several silver services and many valuable pieces of silver and gold being given.

Washington, the beloved daughter of Commander Richard Washington of Beaufort S. C., died on Thursday May the 30th, 1901. Miss Washington visited our city last October the guest of Miss J. R. Warnock, and during her stay she endeared herself to all with whom she came in contact. From here she went to Orangeburg, S. C., where she was engaged in teaching, but owing to ill health she resigned and went to Charleston, S. C. After she recruited somewhat, she was engaged in typewriting, but her health having again failed she returned home. Miss Washington devoted the greatest portion of her life to the work of Christ having taught Sunday school at her home for several years. She was a graduate of Beaufort Normal and Industrial Academy; she headed her classes. Afterward she became a teacher in the same school, and a few terms later she taught at Bennettville, S. C. She was much loved by her pupils. Miss Washington was also a secretary of Fred Douglas Lyceum. She was a young lady of high social standing, and her loving disposition won for her many warm friends. It can be well said that Beaufort has lost one of its most esteemed young ladies. She was buried from the First African Bapti-t Church of which she was a member, Rev. P. Watson, pastor, officiated. Her death will be mourn by her many friends in Savannah as well as at her home. Her relatives and friends have our deepest sympathy. Coming Events in The Social World.

CABINET DISCUSSES MATTER Until Our Terms Are Fully Complied With, Soldiers Will Stand A Washington special says: The cabinet was in session over two hours Friday discussing the Cuban and Philippine situations. A communication has been received from Governor General Wood regarding the prospect for the unconditional acceptance of the Platt amendment, but its contents are not made public. It can be stated, however, that there is a hopeful feeling in administration circles that after the first soreness wears off the convention will see the wisdom of adopting the terms of the amendment. The answer to General Wood is to be sent and the language of that communication was under discussion at the meeting. Meantime, the existing status in Cuba is to be maintained. No action looking to the calling of another convention is in contemplation, if the present convention should decline to accede to our terms. While no new propositions have yet been submitted, it is probable that the convention will not accept the Platt amendment outright until another proposition has been made to this government. The administration is fully determined that the Cubans must accept the Platt amendment without qualification before there can be any change in the status of Cuba. Confidence Betrayed. During the conference between Secretary Root and the Cuban commission some weeks ago, the secretary wrote a letter to Senator Piatt, of Connecticut, who introduced the Platt amendment, asking for his views relative to intervention as mentioned in the third clause of the amendment. Senator Platt replied and his letter was furnished the commission confidentially by the secretary of war, and it was incorporated into and made a part of the acceptance of the Platt amendment by the constitutional convention. The letter, however, to the surprise of Washington officials, appeared in a Havana paper and Friday was made public by the war department. Cuban Naval Station Selected. The naval surveys which have been in progress for some time along the coast of Cuba have disclosed the most available harbors for coaling and naval stations, in case these are established in accordance with the Platt amendment. Probabzly the most important points are Cape San Antonio, at the extreme western extremity of Cuba, and Cape Maysl, at the extreme eastern end. Force Radicals to Accept. A special from Havana says: The Cuban constitutional convention will hold a meeting next Monday to discuss the instructions received Thursday from Washington regarding the Platt amendment. The fifteen delegates who voted in favor of the amendment have held several meetings, and are unanimous in thinking that the amendment must be accepted in a manner satisfactory to the United States government; and they are determined to force the radical element to accept the amendment under a threat of dissolving the convention ONLY ONE LEFT. With Long Sentence Before Him Bank Robber Leaps to His Doom. A dispatch from Toronto, Ont., says: Of the three men, Fred Lee Rice, Thomas Jones and Frank Rutledge, extradited from Chicago to stand trial for the robbery of a bank in Aurora, Ontario, Rice is the only living survive or of the trio to serve out the twenty-one years imprisonment to which he was sentenced Friday morning. Two tragedies have put Jones and Rutledge beyond reach of the law. Jones died from bullet wounds received several days ago in a desperate attempt to escape from the officers, who were transferring the prisoners from the court house to the jail, and Rutledge committed suicide Friday by jumping from the gallery in the jail to the stone court thirty feet below.

HEAD OF GREAT STEEL CORORATION TELLS THE SECRET OF SUCCESS. Get Your Start Early, He Says, and Be Interested in Your Work and Do It Better Than Other Boys-Stories About Himself and Frick. Charles M. Schwab, president of the United States Steel Corporation, delivered an address to the graduating class of the St. George's Evening Trade School at the commencement exercises in the Memorial Building, 207 East Sixtieth street. Mr. Schwab's address was the last thing on the programme with the exception of the awarding of prizes and diplomas. He was introduced by Chairman Frank E. Hagemeyer as a man who had fought battles and won victories in the struggle of life and therefore was well qualified to give boys advice that was founded on practical experience. "I will speak to you," began Mr. Schwab, "just as though you had come to my office asking for advice, and the first thing I will say to you is to come alone. Don't come with somebody's backing. Learn to rely upon yourself. That is the first lesson. If you come indorsed by somebody of influence it always will leave room for others to say that whatever position you may get you got it by influence and not because of your individual merit. No true success is built on influence. You must win your positions for yourself. "Then here is another thing that is essential—you must do what you are employed to do a little better than anybody else does it. Everybody is expected to do his duty, but the boy, who does his duty and a little more than his duty is the boy who is going to succeed in this world. You must take an interest in what you are doing and it must be a genuine interest." Here Mr. Schwab told a story which everybody understood referred to himself. Afterward he told another story which it was equally well understood referred to H. C. Frick. The stories follow: "There were ten boys employed by a concern once and one night the manager said to his subordinate: 'Tell the boys they are to stay a little longer to night—tell them that they are to stay until 6 o'clock. Don't tell them why. Just tell them that and watch them.' So this was done, and when 6 o'clock came around there was just one boy who was wholly interested in his work, and was not watching the clock to see what time it was. That boy was the one the manager wanted, and he was taken into the office, and as he continued to manifest the same interest in his work he got a very responsible place. "Then there was another boy. He began carrying water, and he did it so much better than any other boy, seeing to it always, that the men had good water, cool water and plenty of it, that he attracted attention to himself. He was taken into the office, where he became in time superintendent and then general manager, and he is now the man that is at the head of the great Carnegie Company with thousands of men under him. As a boy he did more than the ordinary run of boys did and so attracted attention, and that was the secret of his first step upward. "I was in a bank downtown the other day when a newsboy came in and sold the banker a paper. After he had gone out the banker said to me: 'For two years now that boy has been coming in here at the time I told him to come—2 o'clock. He does not come before 2 nor after 2, but at 2 precisely. He has sold me a paper every week-day in that way when I have been here without a break. "He sells it for just one cent—its price. He neither asks more nor seems to expect more. It is a cold commercial transaction. Now a boy that will attend to business in that way has got stuff in him. He doesn't know it yet, but I'm going to put him in my bank and you will see that he will be heard from. "Another thing, boys, and that is get an early start. The boy in business who starts with a manual school education at seventeen or eighteen will get a start that the boy who goes through college will never catch up with him, other things being equal. That does not apply to the professions, of course—only to business. Out of forty men I know who are great leaders in the business world, only two are college graduates."—New York Sun. The Star Chamber. The expression "star chamber" finds its origin from the council chamber of the old palace at Westminster, London, which was so designated. In the early part of the present century the last of the buildings used for this purpose were torn down. In this secret court every punishment except death could be inflicted. Its tortures were aptly referred to by Shakespeare, Carlyle and others. It was so called from the stars that glittered from the ceiling. Star chamber is also an appellation given to a famous apartment in Kentucky's celebrated Mammoth cave. It is a beautiful hall with arched sides and a flat roof of dark color, which contains brilliant substances resembling stars. With proper light effects, a wonderful scene is presented.
