ONE DAY'S DEAD
In Sweltering C and West
VICTIMS EVERY MINUTE
Twenty-Four Hours of Most terrible Torture On Hottest July 2nd Ever-Known-An'Appalling List of Fatalities.
The congested cities of the north and northwest passed through another period of torture from the torrid wave Tuesday. The fatalities reported for the day are as follows:
New York .....155
New Jersey .....100
Philadelphia .....52
Pittsburgh .....50
Baltimore .....23
Washington .....7
Cleveland .....5
St. Louis .....4
Detroit .....4
Chicago .....3
Toledo .....3
Cincinnati .....2
Total .....408
No account is taken of the prostrations, which reached an enormous figure.
The heat which has worked such havoc in New York city since Saturday was somewhat mitigated late Tuesday afternoon by a succession of thunder storms which cleared the atmosphere and sent the mercury tumbling down 10 degrees between the hours of 4:30 and 8 p.m. Never did a downpour of rain receive such an enthusiastic reception as did this one. The thunder and lightning were heavy and many houses were struck, causing fires, but so far as known no person was killed or injured. During the last downpour hail fell in quantities.
Immediately preceding the rain the suffering caused by the heat was unprecedented. All the ambulances in the city, as well as the patrol wagons and many other vehicles, were kept busy answering calls. At the rate of about one minute the calls came in over the police wires throughout the day, breaking all records of demands upon the ambulance service, and providing patients enough to crowd all the hospitals of the city as they never before have been crowded. While official temperature up in the lofty tower of the weather building remained at 93 the thermometers on the street level ranged all the way from 100 to 106.
The terrible fatality of the heat was shown in the large percentage of deaths among those prostrated. Out of 328 cases of prostration reported up to 11:39 o'clock p.m., 143 resulted fatally.
Among the more prominent victims were the Rev. Dr. Newland Maynard, the Episcopal clergyman and lecturer, and Jacob S. Regeis, the former locomotive builder.
Between the hours of 2 o'clock Monday and 12 o'clock Tuesday night there were in the boroughs of Manhattan and Bronx 155 deaths and 178 prostrations. The same weather conditions prevailed in Brooklyn. It was estimated by the police at midnight that during Tuesday there had been sixty deaths and 150 prostrations by the heat in Brooklyn.
'Fifty Succumb at Pittsburg.
While the maximum temperature at Pittsburgh, Pa. did not reach Monday's figures, the effect of the heat was more disastrous than on any day since the hot spell began. Up to 11 p. m. fifty deaths had been reported in Pittsburgh, Allegheny and suburbs, with many prostrations.
The effect of the heat was appalling In the store, in the factory, in the mill, employees were stricken down, many to death, others to prolonged prostrations. In one mill at the Homestead plant fifty-two men were prostrated and finishing mills Nos. 28 and 32 and open hearth mill No. 3 had to close down. The workmen were as busy carrying out and caring for their comrades who were prostrated
RUSSIA STICKS TO MANCHURIA.
The Czar Installs Civil Administration in New Chwang.
A special from Pekin says: The installation by Russia of a civil administration in New Chwang, Manchuria, has again made prominent the question of the occupation of that province by the Russians. Some of the powers have already recognized the administration, but the ministers of other nations are doubtful as to the course to be followed in the matter and are awaiting instructions from their home governments. Among those, thus awaiting instructions is the representative of the United States.

as they were in performing their regi lar work. Innumerable children throughout the city were heat victims and the mortality among them was unprecedented. So many horses have succumbed to the heat that deliveries of all kinds are badly crippled. Particularly is this the case with the deliveries of ice, and for a time almost an ice famine was threatened. One ice company lost fifty-six horses.
Philadelphia Fearfully Tortured.
As a result of Tuesday's torrid weather in Philadelphia fifty-two people died and more than two hundred others were prostrated. The official record of temperature made Monday, 102 degrees, was eclipsed Tuesday when the government thermometer, at 3 p. m., touched 102 8-10 degrees, which now stands as the record. Just as the temperature attained these top figures an electrical disturbance to the south caused a welcome change in the atmosphere. In twenty minutes' the temperature dropped to 95 degrees and at 5 p. m. was s2 with a high wind.
Monday's record breaker in the way of deaths was outdone before noon, at which hour twenty-five deaths had been reported to the police. Up to 12 p. m. fifty-two deaths were reported, with over three hundred prostrations. These lists of deaths and prostrations were increased hourly.
At. Other Places.
At St. Louis a much wanted rain came Tuesday afternoon and brought great relief from the heat. After the rain the mercury dropped from 97 to 50 degrees. Thirty-three persons—a larger number than were treated during the entire summer of 1900—are at the city hospital suffering from heat prostration. During the twenty-four hours ending at S' o'clock Tuesday night four deaths and forty-seven prostrations were reported.
The death rate went up with a bound Tuesday in the big cities of New Jersey. Thirty-one persons died in Newark as a direct result of the heat and sixty or more persons were prostrated. Deaths in other cities of the state bring the total up to 160.
Two deaths and sixteen prostrations were reported in Cincinnati Tuesday, making a total of seventeen deaths and ninety-one prostrations during the hot spell.
Seven deaths and a score of heat prostrations was the day's record at Washington during the day.
Five deaths and eighteen heat prostrations occurred Tuesday in Cleveland. O.. while at Toledo three deaths occurred.
Four deaths and three prostrations from the heat was the record for the day at Detroit.
Three deaths and numerous prostrations were reported in Chicago, and two men were struck by lightning in the course of the thunderstorm which brought relief in the late afternoon. Heat prostrations were due rather to the great humidity than to excessive temperature.
Baltimore was again at the head of the list of hottest cities. The highest point reached by the mercury was at 2 p. m., when it touched 103 degrees, the maximum temperature of Monday, and remained stationary for an hour. A slight breeze between 8 and 6 o'clock brought it down to 86 degrees. Up to 11 o'clock p. m. thirteen deaths and thirty-nine prostrations had been reported.
FAMOUS LOCOMOTIVE BUILDER.
Eccentric Jacob Rogers Victim of the Heat In New York City.
Jacob Rogers, famous American builder of locomotives and the wealthiest citizen of New Jersey, died in the Union League Club, in New York city, Tuesday from the effects of the heat. Rogers died as he had lived—alone, as no one was near him at the time. He was one of the most eccentric characters New York has known. His often-expressed wish was that there be no funeral ceremony when death should claim him.
COLONEL NEAL CONVICTED.
Former Superintendent of Palmetto State Penitentiary Sentenced.
In court at Columbia, S. C., Tuesday Colonel W. A. Neal, former superintendent of the state penitentiary, was convicted of failure to turn over public moneys to his successor and was sentenced to a term of four months in the Richland county jail and a fine of $1,000. Judge Gary told him he would not impose the wearing of stripes upon him in view of the Jury's recommendation to mercy. A new trial was refused, and after the sentence notice or appeal was given.
SAVANNAH, GA.. SATURDAY, JULY 6,1901.
CUBANS FOR SELF-GOVERNMENT
Gomez Issues Statement Explaining Object of His Visit to New York and Washington. ..
General Maximo Gomez gave out the following statement at New York Tuesday:
"In response to the request of the press for me to make a statement in regard to Cuba, all I have, to say is that the acceptance of the Plattamentment by the Cuban constitutional convention has already defined the political situation of Cuba, and as the Cubans are all anxious to establish self-government, they are working toward this end.. There is not one who does not desire to see the flag float free, a flag which represents so much suffering and so many sacrifices for freedom's sake. The whole world has known this many years."
"The sole object of my visit has been my great desire to embrace my old, true and loyal friend, Thomas Estrada Palma, whom I have not been able to see since peace was established, and, of course, to pay a visit to President McKinley, to whom we Cubans owe so much, and also to pay my respects to Secretary Root.
"This is not my first visit to this city, of which I have many pleasant and also sad recollections, for I have once, silently and unknown, trod the thoroughfares of a free country with the only ardent hope* of helping to break the chains that enslaved Cuba. Today everything is changed. On again setting foot in this free land I feel happy, for in every American I see a friend who, having shed his blood side by side with us for freedom, has earned our eternal gratitude and established the mutual obligation between the two peoples to maintain the peace and independence of the island of Cuba. M. GOMEZ."
Gem:z at Washington.
General Maximo Gomez, the Cuban leader, accompanied by his son and by Senor Gonzales, General Wood's secretary, reached Washington Thursday night from New York.
THE SOUTH IS EXEMPT.
While Northern States Are Blistered is Section Enjoys Normal Weather. The advantages of the south as a summer resort were never more clearly apparent than during the past week. While a torrid wave of unprecedented severity was sweeping the states of the east and west, and people succumbing by hundreds—in many places even a suspension of business being forced—the states of the south enjoyad normal summer weather. Dispatches to The Atlanta Constitution from the principal cities in Georgia and other southern states indicate that the people would not know that the mercury has been doing lofty climbing wore it not for the distressing stories which come from' the east and west.
Only one fatality from heat is reported from the entire south—a negro at Norfolk, Va.
NEW ARKANSAS BAILROAD.

The road is to be eventually extended into Missouri.
"DEATH TO CLERGY."
Students In Mexico City Make It Live
For Priests During Mass.
The people of Mexico City are much exelted and the clergy are filled with indignation over the results of the student's anti-clerical demonstration Monday. The students met to the number of 300 and held a public meeting at which stirring speeches, showing the intense feeling of the young men, were made, denouncing the recent immoralities of the few priests who, it is claimed, have been shielded and not punished.
LIGHTNING KILLS THREE.

OUR PLETHORIC TREASURY.
Government Surplus For Past Fiscal Year Will Reach Aggregate of Seventy-six Millions.
The comparative statement of the government receipts and expenditures for the fiscal year ended last Saturday will show an excess of receipts over disturbances of approximately $70,00,000.
This is only about $4,000,000 below the estimate made by congress at the beginning of the last session in December, 1900, at which time the secretary estimated the receipts from customs would be about $245,000,000. The receipts from internal revenue sources were estimated last December at $300,000,000, while the final figures will show over $307,000,000. The receipts from miscellaneous sources were estimated at $34,000,000. Those will also show a considerable increase.
The expenditures for the year will be $7,000,000 in excess of the estimates. During the fiscal year 1900 the surplus revenues amounted to nearly $24,000,000, while the surplus for the present year will reach $76,000,000, and possibly a still higher figure.
In view of the fact that the revenue reduction bill passed at the last session of congress went into operation Monday, treasury officials estimate that the loss from this source will be about $40,000,000. It is not expected, however, that the net reduction from this source will reach that amount, as the officials look forward to a year of even greater prosperity than the one just closing. If this expectation is realized the officials believe that the revenues from internal sources alone will be greater than $30,000,000 below the figures of the present year. It is also confidently expected that the receipts from customs will materially increase during the coming twelve months, so that, notwithstanding the reduction made in the last revenue bill, the total receipts from all sources may even reach or exceed those of the fiscal year 1901.
Suffrage Question Brought Up In Alabama Constitutional Convention.
Chairman Coleman, of the committee on suffrage, made a report of the committee to the Alabama constitutional convention Saturday morning. The reading of the article met with considerable applause.

Chicago Youngsters Sought Refuge From Heat and Fell Victims to Deadly Lightning Stroke.
Crowded together, in a little zinc-lined stanty under a north shore pier of Lake Michigan ten boys and young men and one old man met instant death by lightning at Chicago Monday. They had left their fish lines and caught shelter from the fierce thunderstorm that deluged the northern part of the city about 1 o'clock. Ten minutes later their bodies lay with twisted and tangled limbs, "like a nest of snakes," as the men who found them said. Twelve-year-old Willie Anderson was uninjured, but he lay many long minutes before he could be drawn out from the heap of bodies.
The dead are all from the families of comparatively poor people, and comprised two men who were fishing and seeking relief from the heat of the day, joined by a number of boys who had come to wade and swim on the beach.
There were thirteen men and boys on the pier. They rushed for the only available shelter and crowded themselves in through the little trap door in the top of the cabin until they were packed almost to a point of suffocation. Then came the thunderbolt.
Percy Keane, a small boy watching from the water station, thought he heard a scream as the bolt struck Mindless of the storm, he rushed across the beach. At the pier he heard a cry: "Help! Get_me out!" He looked into the cabin, and in dismay saw the twisted bodies. Young Percy, crying, pulled at the dead man's arms and legs to get them away. He saw Willie Anderson's head and part of his body, but he could not pull him out, nor could he pull the heavy bodies from on top of him. Then young Keane telephoned to the police, who succeeded, after a great deal of difficulty, in reviving young Anderson and recovering the dead bodies of the others.
CONSOLIDATION OF RAILROADS.
New Savannah, Florida and Western Company to Increase Capital Stock.
A great consolidation of railroads with a capital stock of $25,000,000 has been perfected of the roads in southern Georgia, northern Florida and eastern Alabama.
The Savannah, Florida and Western Railway Company is the designation of the new company, and the principal stockholder in the new corporation is said to be the old Savannah, Florida and Western Railway Company.
Application was filled in the secretary of state's office at Atlanta Monday morning to increase the capital stock of the company from its present capital to $25,000,000. The cause assigned in the application for this increase of capital stock is said to be, the absorption of the following roads: The Charleston and Savannah, the Brunswick and Western, the Alabama Midland, the Silver Springs, Ocala and Gulf and the Tampa and Thonotaeosa. It is said that this combination of roads makes a complete link from Charleston, S. C., along the coast cities and across the southern part of Georgia to Tampa, extending also over into Alabama.

VICTIMS DROP ON EVERY HAND
Slistering Rays of Old Sol Send Mercury Skyward and Past Records of Torridity Are Completely
Monday was the hottest July 1st record at New York. at p. m. the thermometer at weather office reached 98 degree hotter than The records show that two days in the last thirty yes higher temperature been These were July 9, 1876, and 1898. On these days the therm reached 99 degrees.
The suffering in the city, larly in the crowded tenement district, was most intense. As the grew the deaths and prostration creased, and, although provision made in all the hospitals for emergency, the authorities scarcely able to cope with the tax made on their resources.
Between 2 a.m. and midnight they were reported fifty-seven deaths and 141 prostrations in the boroughs of Manhattan and Bronx. For the previous twenty-four hours twenty-one deaths and thirty-six prostrations had been reported in Brooklyn. If the heat was killing to mankind, it was worse on the horses. They dropped right and left. At one time there were eight dead horses lying on Broadway between Twenty-third and Forty-second streets. There were fourteen horses prostrated in the vicinity of Madison Square alone. The rush of the crowds to the parks and to the nearby seashore resorts Monday night was unprecedented in the history of the city.
At 2 o'clock Tuesday morning the death record for the twenty-four hours ending at that time in Greater New York was eighty-seven; the prostrations 183. For the previous five days, covering the heated term, the total deaths in the same territory were 136. At Newark the mercury touched 100 at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon. This was the maximum. The reported deaths were fourteen in and about Newark.
At Philadelphia.
Philadelphia and vicinity experienced the highest temperature recorded in that city Monday, the government thermometer on the top of the post office building, 170 feet from the street, registering 102 degrees even. At Cramp's shipyard the prostrations were so numerous that the 5,000 men employed there were relieved from further duty at noon. At Baldwin's locomotive works, the Midvale Steel Works and numerous other places, scores of heat sufferers had to quit. Reports from all sections of the state show that the temperature was exceedingly high; in some places the record was broken and in other places it was equaled. Up to midnight fourteen deaths were reported and upwards of 100 persons were treated at hospitals for heat exhaustion.
Spell Broken at Cincinnati.
Open Broken at Cincinnati.
The spell of torrid heat which had been in sway at Cincinnati during the past week and which left death and prostration in its wake was broken Monday evening by a squall. The storm came suddenly from the southeast, and for a time the wind blew at a rate of sixty miles an hour. This was followed by a thunder shower, and the thermometer dropped to 75. The maximum temperature during the day was 96 at the government station and 99 on the street. There were five deaths from heat. This makes seventeen deaths since the hot spell began.

SATURDAY JULY 6, 1901
A PEEK Sundays ago, a white woman boarded a trolley car coming from Thunderbolt. She was drunk and made a disgraceful scene. The car was crowded with passengers, among them many ladies. This drunken white woman was allowed to continue her disgraceful acts without being molested by the conductor or any one on the car and permitted to leave the car when she reached her destination without being arrested. If she was black.—
SUNDAY night a young white man met an accident that terminated fatally for him. He was attending to duties that were not his He was noted for that. Whenever there is any violation of law every good citizen should assist in putting it down or punish the violator, but any citizen who is overreals in doing this
so that his intentions are not of ourarest kind. If that young man remained at home or gone to a religious worship on Sunday rather left his pistol at home all good citizens should possibly 'would have been Sunday.
On Wednesday a collector for one money sucking concerns shot a man because he resented the treatment of the collector to his wife. The would-be-murder was arrested, and remarked that he was surprised of such a secretharge being placed against him and that if it had occurred in Georgia where he came from, a notice would be taken of it.
What this white man says is correct. In many parts of the state all kinds of advantage is taken of our people without any redress whatever, but thank God we have officials in this section who are more conscientious.
SOME of the very best white ladies of the city, headed by Mrs. W. W. Gordon have come to the relief of the hucksters and have petitioned city council to restore them their usual rights. It is a real pleasant duty for THE TRIBUNE to note the action of these ladies in this matter. It shows that they are not unmindful of the needs of the housekeepers of the city and at the same time are willing to lend a helping hand to a class of people of this city that really needs this help and encouragement. Mrs. Gordon and the other ladies who signed the petition will be ever remembered kindly by the colored people for their action.
THE morning paper on Monday gave an account of a small colored girl found drunk on the streets on Sunday afternoon. This should put everybody to thinking, especially those who have the welfare of the race at heart. There must have been some influence that caused that young girl to jibibe, an influence that is awful to think about, and which is liable to insnare more young girls and cause them to disgrace themselves, bring sorrow to their parents and place a blut upon the race. In fact, there is really to much influence around for the leading astray of our young boys and girls. The bar room influence, the entertainments where stimulants are served, or where the attendants are permitted to go on the outside to get all that is wanted, the resorts near the city where the holy Sabbath is desecrated and where the girls and boys of tender years are allured by its music, its minstrelsy and its free and convivial air, all of which have a tendency to draw these youths into its dragnet and hurl them into perdition. There is a remedy and let the remedy be applied.
In Atlanta there is a crusade going on against the loaing class. The Constitution says that "while our streets are filled with idle men, living by theft and pillage, our fields are lying waste and uncultivated, and even the growing crops can not be tilled for want of labor." It is admitted that it would be a great deal better for those of our people who are crowding into the cities without any well defined plan of living, to remain on the farms and there industrially till the soil. Right here is where they are, between two great evils. It has been often published that much advantage is taken of these people in the rural districts. Those who rent the farms are always in debt to the landlords, matters not how strenuously they labor to keep ahead; in many sections those who own land and homes are molested to such an extent that they are compelled to make a sacrifice of their little belongings and seek a safer clime; those who are not able to rent or purchase lands, generally give their labor and are bound down by slavish contracts. All of these things tend to discourage the people with rural life, and hence they flock
to the cities. We do not mean to say that they are treated in this manner in all sections or any all landlords. In this state—they are many white men who by their benevolent acts have been the means of many colored men owning fine property and otherwise aiding them to become respectable and useful citizens, but the other class outnumber them.
What the Constitution and other leading southern values should do, is to teach a spirit of tolerance, and cause the white farmers in the state to hummely treat those whom they have employed. Until this is done the present condition of affairs will remain unchanged.
For the first time since its organization, the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Ancient, Free and Accepted Masons tor the State of Georgia, is called upon to mourn the death of a Grand Master. The Grand Lodge has had seven grand masters, all of whom are living but two, Most Worshipful A. K. DesVerney and Most Worshipful W. E. Terry. The death of Grand Master Terry comes at a time that the masons of the state can only afford it. He was a grand master indeed. He was faithful to his duties; he was earnest in his endeavors; he was true to the trust imposed on him and the progress of the order was always uppermost in his thoughts.
The Grand Lodge has had no harder worked grand master than Mr. Terry. The weather was never too cold nor too not; too wet or dry for him to go where duty called him. At his home white attending to the affairs of his business, he never forgot the duty he owed the craft, and late at nights he was found at his desk giving information to the craft all over the state. There is not a lodge in the state, out of nearly two hundred, that he has not visited and imparted that masonic knowledge that he was so fully aware of. Not only in the masonic sphere was he known and honored, but also as a citizen. In his city and in all parts of the state, he was respected. In business, his standing was among the best. The white business men of his town had the fullest confidence in its integrity.
Not only has the masonic fraternity lost a great leader, but the entire race, a man who has shown by his endeavors that the race is capable of producing men of such ability that any one could place the fullest confidence in them.
"Here Death his sacred seal hath set,
On bright and by-gone hours,
The dead we mourn are with us yet,
And more than ever ours!
United Under an Arch.
Brunswick's society was all aglow over the marriage of Dr. Buggs and Miss Leonora Clark, the accomplished daughter of our townsman, Mr. C. A. Clark, Wednesday evening June 26th. This marriage was one of the greatest social events of the season. Long before the hour of the arrivat of the bride and groom, the First a. B Church was filled with invited guests and curiosity seekers to take a good view of the contracting party. Promptly at 8 o'clock. Rev. John Williams, assisted by Rev. J. J. Bryan took their position under the arch that had been so beautifully arranged by the tender hands of some of our most tasty ladies.
Mrs L. M. Jones played a sweet wedding march. The procession was led by Messrs J. E. Bryan, R. C. Malloy, Wm. Burroughs, G. E. Allen, followed by Miss F. R. Minor, attended by Mr. Henry Roberts, Miss Mabel Cole, and Mr. Charles Moore, Miss Ida Minor and Mr. James G. Carter. Miss Corinne Clark, the sister of the bride, acted as maid of honor and she played her part well. She was beautifully attired in white organdie, trimmed with white satin ribbon. She was followed by the bride recuming upon her father's arm. The bride was most beautifully gowned in white Japanese silk, trimmed with orange blossoms, covered with spangled net and carried a bouquet of flowers. The above-parties took their positions at the sacred altar, under the lovely decorate arch. Around said arch, there were many lovely roses and lilies. The bride was met by the groom, attended by his best man, Mr. s. J. Shootes, who recently came among us to be one of us.
The groom was attired in the very height of fashion and bore a pleasant smile. The bride and groom were presented to the minister to receive the solemn words of matrimony. After the ceremony and benediction was pronounced, the wedding party slowly made its way out, followed by the many that witnessed this sacred rite. The bridal party with the guests made their way to the house of the bride's parents where tables were laden with just such things as best suited the occasion. There were many costs and handsome presents given from abroad and at home. I regret my inability to give list of same.
Dr. and Mrs. Buggs left at 10 o'clock by the C. A. Shaw route, for a pleasant trip. Their return to Mansfield is indefinite. Both white and colorful bid them God's speed and prosperity through life. S.
J.
Called Hence.
Grand Master W. J. Terry died at 8 o'clock on Monday last after an illness of several months. At the time of his death he was surrounded by his entire family. While he has been seriously ill, yet his death was a shock to all.
Mr. Terry was 46 years old and has been a mason for a number of years and always took an active part in the affairs of the Grand Lodge. At the time of the union in '88 he was elected Grand Master served a year and was elected again in 1896, and served until death claimed him.

A Mass Meeting.
There will be a massmeeting held at Ford's Opera House. Monday night, July Sth., that should command the attention of all thinking people. The meeting will be held under the auspices of the Wage Earners Loan and Investment Co., which desires to interest the people of Savannah in the organization and to this end will hold the meeting and the attendance of all adults, both ladies and gentlemen are requested. There will be no charges at the door and an abundance of cold refreshments will be served free.
This is an institution that should receive the support of the public at large.

At the meeting mentioned above the full purpose and workings of the institution will be spoken of, and every thoughtful citizen should attend and hear for himself.
A Spartanburg Wedding.
On Thursday evening of last week at Spartanburg, S. C., the Westminster Presbyterian Church was filled with spectators to witness the nuptials of two popular young people. The church was tastefully decorated with ferns and flowers and presented a most impressing sight.
The contracting parties were Miss Estelle Bomar, a teacher of Scotia Seminary, N. C., and Mr. Joseph Himes, the superintendent of the industrial department of the Georgia State Industrial College. The ceremony was to have been performed by Rev. Satterfield, president of Scotia Seminary, but on account of press of business he could not be present, and the pastor of the above named church made them one, and surely they were:
"I two minds with but a single thought? Two hearts that beat as one."
The bride made a lovely appearance in her beautiful trousseau. The bridemud was Miss Gertie Bomar, the bride's sister, and the best man was Dr. E. D. Bulkley of our city. The brother of Mr. Himes and the cousin of the bride were the ushers.
After the ceremony at the church the bridal party returned to the home of the bride where quite an elaborate reception was given. The evening was made pleasant by selections of music, etc., and afterwards refreshments were served.
Mr. and Mrs. Himes will remain at Spartanburg until September when they will come to Savannah, where Mr. Himes will resume his position at the college.

MASONIC COLUMN.
Let every Worshipful Master spur his lodge to its full duty.
P. M., C. J. Smith is working up an Eastern Star Chapter at Jakin, and hopes to have it ready at an early date.
Every lodge that is in any manner obligated to the Grand Lodge, should settle those obligations. It is needed more at this time, than at any other.
Past Master James of Mystic Tie came in to see us on Tuesday. He came down to attend the funeral of Brother Miller. Of course we are always glad to shake hauds with this good mason.
The Grand Lodge will convene in October. Every lodge should endeavor to settle all of its indebtedness before that time. All W. Ms. who have the interest of the craft at heart should see to this.
The craft has had a terrible shock by the death of the Most Worshipful Grand master Terry, especially at this time; but should this not cause every mason in the state to be more vigilant and attend to his duties?
The Grand Secretary and other members of the craft in Savannah regret their inability to have been present at the funeral ceremonies of Grand Master Terry, on account of not receiving notice in time, for the funeral.
The death of the Grand Master causes the affairs of the grand lodge to be placed in the hauds of Deputy Grand Master, H. 'R. Butler, M. D., of Atlanta. Dr. Butler is an energetic worker and will endeavor to keep up the standing of the craft.

Excursion a Success.
The excursion that was run to Wilmington island on the 28th., for the purpose of aiding the people there in building a church and school house was a success in every respect. Most of the teachers that are attending the Peabody Institute at the Georgia State College went down to enjoy the occasion.
The committee succeeded in raising quite a neat sum, the boat being furnished by Capt. Oemler, free of charge. A part of the lumber for the building has already been secured and it is expected that by the time school opens again a comfortable building will have been erected.
The following committee has charge of the work: Rev. R. H. Thomas, Walter Palmer, Henry Chisolm, William Solomon and Prof. L. B. Thompson.

ing Jab as amodel, the deceased bore
his afflictions meekly often exclaim.
ing qanything but death” but dar-
ing the last few weeks he was perfect-
ly resigned to the will of God and
contended himself to wait until his
change came. He died in full con-
fidence of the saving power of our
‘Lord and Savior.
Mr. Miller was born near Sylva-
nia, Ga, July 2nd 1864. He was
early converted and after coming to
Savannah he removed his member-
ship to St. James A. M. E. church.
At this church he performed well his
christian duties. He filled several
offices in the church, haying served
two years as anperintendent of the
Sabbath school, and also served as
class leader, steward and prayer
meeting messenger of the church
under various pastora. He was well
and favorably known in our midst.
In the year 1886 he met and mar-
ried Miss Josephine Charlton, who
was then one of the county teach-
ers. She with three children sur-
vivé him also seven sisters.
‘The deceased was Worshipful
Master of Hilton Lodge No. 2, of]
Masons and was buried by them.
A few hours before Mr. Miller’s
death a neighbor called to see him
and on departing inquired of him if
he would be there jwhen she again
visited him. To this gnery, he told
her no, no, he could not promise
any thing like that, but he nad been
laboring hard and had put his
shoulder to the wheel in the cause
of Christ, and that when he heard
that welcome voice, “Come and rest”
he would gladly lay everything aside
and go. 7 *
‘The funeral occurred from St,
James church on Sunday morning,
the ceremony being conducted by
the pastor, Rev. A. Cooper, who Pal
a high tribute to the memory of the
deceased. He took aga text a pas-
sige of Scripture from the 23rd
Psalm : “Yea though I walk through
the valley of the shadow of death,
| will fear no evil.” The véry large
crowd that followed the remains to
the last resting place was a proof of,
the esteem in which he, was held}.
Ihe family has our sympathy.

THOUGHT OF RUBBER ALL DAY AND DREAMED OF IT ALL NIGHT.
He Sold His Children's School Books
Cost of Experiment - Webster's Tribute to Him - Found Secret the Great Chemistry Had Missed.
Tubber has done a great deal for civilization and civilization has done a great deal for rubber, but both are indebted to Charles Goodyear, hero and martyr to whom the manufacturers of the United States should erect a bonnie monument as high as the slab on Bunker Hill. "I believe," said Daniel Webster in the famous present suit, in which he fought the good fight for Goodyear, "that Charles Goodyear is to go down to posterior in the history of the arts in this country in that great class of inventors at the head of which stand Robert Fulton, in which class stand the names of Wetney and Morse, and in which class will stand, not far removed, the humble name of Charles Goodyear."
Goodyear was a Connecticut Yankee, born at Navigapick, December 29, 1800, those now living who remember him in the flesh knew him as a frail little man with soulful eyes and a sympathetic nature. Goodyear after devoting the energies of his life to experiments discovered, vulcanization, a process which neutralizes the adhesiveness of rubber, while hardening it, so that heat does not dissolve it or cold impair its elasticity. The chemists had sought the great secret in vain. Triumph was reserved for a man who was always in debt and sometimes in prison, and occasionally reduced to the most pitiful shifts to keep the wolf from the door. Goodyear was originally in hardware dealer in a small way, but he got interested in rubber when it began to make a stuff in the world with the first importation of shoes from Brazil. They were soon being made in New England, but the business tumbled to ruin when the rubber decomposed in hot weather and gave out an offensive odor. No one had a good word to say for the stuff—it sold for five cents a pound in the general disguise—but Goodyear, although without money or credit, set to work to rehabilitate the reputation of gum elastic, he always called it. He thought of rubber all day and dreamed of it all night, and it adhered to his hands and clothing so that they were one and insistent. If you meet a man, said some one who wanted to describe Goodyear, "who has on an Inla rubber cap, stock, coat, vest and shoes, with an Inla rubber purse without a cent of money in it, that is he." In coming what seemed to his friends a will of the wisp. Goodyear was often in the panwishes. He once left his umbrella with Cornellus Vanderbilt for some ferry tickets, and at another time sold his children's school books for $5, which he needed for his experiments. But he had a devoted family, like most
were just as much wrapped up in rubber as he was. To harden his gum elastic Goodyear mixed magnesia with it and turned out some shoes beautiful to look at. For the man had the artistic sense, but as usual, they decomposed. He thought he had hit upon the secret with little right, took out a patent and embarked in the business of making shoes and toys. Bad times swept away his profits before he learned that he had made another failure, and there were no respect to the pawnbroker. About this time Goodyear met Nathaniel Hayward, who was fussing with rubber in a factory at Wohom, where he was regarded as a harmless trink. To Hayward it was revealed it had dream that rubber could be hardened by mixing sulphur with it and exposing the compound to the sun. The process gave out a rank odor.
which made Hayward a nuisance in the factory, but he took out a patent on it. Goodyear, being struck with the idea, bought the patent. The two men leased a building and went in for making life-preservers. But the secret had not been discovered, although Hayward was on the right scent—in hot weather if seemed a wrong one to purchasers of the life-preservers. Goodyear was not dismised. He was always making in the compound of sulphur and rubber, but with no satisfactory results. Yet he was "warm," as they say in the children's game. One night while gesticulating on his favorite theme with a piece of sulphurated gum it game in contact with the red hot stove. Instead of melting as usual the stuff charred like leather. Was a very high heat needed to harden rubber. The enthusiasm trembled with anticipation. But there was the cold—it was a winter's night. Would the mass lose its flexibility in the freezing air? Goodyear nailed it against the house. The heat morning the compound was as elastic as dryer. He had discovered polymerization. The secret was that rubber, with a slight admixture of sulphur, hardened and lost its adhesiveness, but not its flexibility
When subjected to a temperature of from 200 to 270 degrees Fahrenheit, Neither heating cold afterward affects it, but it can be over-vulcanized into what is known as ebonite. Good year perfected this process, took out a patent, and for fourteen years fought infringements in the courts until Judge Gray decided in the court in 1852. The litigation proof, him, is poor as a church mouse. He was in prison for debt in France, which the crusaders of the Legion of Honor was bestowed on him—but to the end of his life experimented with his beloved product. His business was his religion, wrote his secretary, Charles. Good year, would share his last dollar with an unfortunate man. His patentes were making great fortunes he was content with merger royalties if he could be left converted to convert rubber to new
nce. In his last years—he died July 1, 1860—he perfected the life-preserver, testing it into bathtub in his house at Washington. The New England Rubber Club celebrated the other day the one-hundredth anniversary of Goodyear's birth with a dinner in Boston, at which the great men of the trade tried to put into words their debt to the unselfish and lovable inventor—IL E. Armstrong, in *Ainslee's*.
A BATTLE OF THE BEES.
The Queen Died Fighting and Her Subjects Were Forced Into Burdeny.
Jeets were forced into Bengal.
"One colony of wild honey bees, less than a mile away, had survived the famine of the previous summer, and in July, made desperate by lack of forage, certain of their wanderers discovered my hive, and succeeded in sneaking by the sentries and getting away again with honey-bags filled with plunder undetected," writes William Everett Cram, of "My First Colony of Bees," in the Ladies' Home Journal. "Returning later with others of their tribe they were discovered and driven off. But the whole colony of forest dwellers was now eager for booty and came in overpowering force. I narrowed the entrance to the hive, and my bees defended it vallantly; the fighting was fierce until long after dark, and in the morning it was again renewed and finally the defendants were defecated with heavy losses. The survivors were compelled to go into bondage and assist their victors to carry away the captured honey to the woods, and before the midsummer sun was half way up the sky the hive stood silent and deserted, save for a few loitering pilfers crawling, about the torn and empty combs, searching among the dead for a last drop of honey. The queen, I presume, must have been killed, for she certainly would never have consented to ac company the enemy with the other prisoners. Yet I was unable to find her among the dead, and I believe that she died fighting in the open and dropped into the grass."
How a Woman Quelled a Panic
The street car caught fire in the tunnel above. Thirty-fourth street. It was in the morning at an hour when the car was crowded. A puff of smoke came up from somewhere about the wheels at the forward end, and three women in the second seat leaped in horror to their feet.
'A man arose and called to the conductor in a sharp tone:
"Can't you see your car is on fire!"
'A girl with a big bundle in the second seat tried to fling herself off the car against the stone wall. The conductor began calling to all the rising, murmuring passengers:
"Keep your seats! Don't be alarmed. You can't get out until you get to Thirty-fourth street!"
Then a lady in the front seat turned and put her hand on that of the girl with the bundle, who was quivering and trembling in every nerve and muscle.
"We are safe. The conductor would not take us on if there was anything else to do!" she said in a clear, gentle voice of authority, smiling into the girl's dazed eyes. "We are safe."
The girl calmed down like a baby at its mother's touch; the other passengers heartened to the conductor's command to sit down, and obeyed like children.
When the street car got out of the tunnel and was vacated the lady disappeared in the direction of Fifth avenue. She had undoubtedly quelled a panic at its inception.—New York Mall and Express.
Childhood of Great Men.
In a statistical investigation of the early life of fifty great men of the present century, it was found that while they are absent-minded, generally speaking, their memories are very strong in the things they are interested in. In childhood they seem to be more imaginative than average children. It is generally said that a great man owes his success to his mother's influence, but there are many exceptions. They were influenced much by some one person, and the mother's place was often supplied by that of an aunt or relative. The child born of parents in the prime of physical life probably has the better chance of greatness, for the average age of the fathers when the great man-child was born was about thirty-eight, and that of the mothers thirty. The average number of children in the families was six. Eleven of the great men were only sons, and sixteen youngest sons; that is, in all over fifty per cent. If it is important to study the criminal to find the causes of crime and thereby know best how to prevent or lessen it, it is perhaps more needful to study great men in order to learn those conditions and characteristics which make them great—Everybody's Magazine.

It seemed as if they had always been driving-at least, she thought so.

"It would be a—"
"Yes-good plan."
"If I were to—"
"Yes-if I were to what?"
"Er-er-ah!"
"Um!"
"What-er-yes-if I were to—"
"Yes, Jeremiah."
"Ask you—"
"Yes, what, Jeremiah-for mercy'sakes—what? What?"
"Oh, just to go driving to-morrow, Angelica."—New York Sun.
Practically One-third of the Dominion is Yet an Unknown Country.
United States Consul Seyfert, at Stratford, says, in a report to the Department of State, that the Director of the Geological Survey of Canada, in his last report, makes the amazing statement that practically nothing is known of one-third of the Dominion. He quotes as follows from the report: "There are more than 1,250,000 square miles of unexplored lands in Canada. The entire area of the Dominion is computed at 3,450,257 square miles, consequently one-third of this country has yet been untraveled by the explorer. Exclusive of the inhospitable detached Arctic portions, 954,000 square miles is for all practical purposes entirely unknown."
Consul Sebfert says that the Canadian Government, during the past year, has made a great effort in the direction of exploring and developing this vast territory. It has recognized the fact that railroads are essential to the development of a new country, and liberal inducements for their construction are made by granting millions of acres of land as a bonus. A grant to the proposed Manitoulin and North Shore Railway of 2,500,000 acres has been made, and the indications are that during the next five years at least 5000 miles of new railroad will be completed throughout the Dominion, most of which will run through the unexplored wilderness.
"The mineral wealth of this unknown region." says Consul Seyfert, "is undoubtedly immense, and perhaps almost inexhaustible; while the dense forests of hard wood, now of so little value, will, when brought to the markets of the world, become a source of large profit."

Colda Cost Money.
A leading insurance journal says somewhat pathetically that colds cost the life insurance companies a million dollars a month. What they cost those who catch the cold is, of course, quite beyond cavil or reclaim, but the paper goes on to warn the careless who happen to own policies how to be able to keep on paying premiums a while longer. The gist of the advice is to avoid exposure, keep out of draughts and fight a cold from start to finish. "The grave is still very hungry." It adds, "Besides, the life insurance companies would like to save a million a month."
The highest medical authority in journalism gives the following: "The philosophy of prevention is to preserve the natural and healthy action of the organism as a whole, and of the surface in particular, while habituating the skin to bear severe alterations of temperature by judicious exposure, and natural stimulation by pure air and clean water, and orderly habits of hygiene and health." All this is important at this particular season. People are changing clothes, rushing out upon golf fields, taking long rides on wheels, speeding in automobiles, swinging along in country rambles and courting the open air and its breezes. In its way it is well, but overdoing leads to undoing.-Saturday Evening Post.
Traced by Advertising.
Persistent newspaper advertising resulted in the finding of a runaway York (Penn.) boy in Egypt. The lad has been missing since 1893, and ever since that time his parents have been advertising for him, spending a small fortune in hope of finding him. They have just received word that the lad has been located at Zagazig, Egypt, Michael Zahar, the boy's father, will bring him back. Fourth Estate.
