American Take Seeingly Impregnable Filipino-Fort. Large, Body of Insurgents Completely --Routed From Stronghold By, a A special of Sunday from Manila says: Captain Edward P. Lawton's company of the Nineteenth infantry has attacked and captured an insurgent fort on Bohol island, south of Cebu in the Visayan group. This fort was surrounded on all sides by a precipice and the only entrance to the higher ground was guarded by a stockade with a line of entrenchments behind it. Captain Lawton sent Sergeant McMahon and twenty men to climb the precipice and attack the fort in the rear. Sergeant McMahon's party accomplished their task after three hours' climbing through the thick undergrowth of brush and vines that covered the almost perpendicular cliff. They took the enemy by surprise and drove them from the fort. As the insurgents escaped, they had to pass the remainder of Captain Lawton's company at a distance of 150 yards. Here the enemy suffered terrible losses. The insurgents defended themselves with both cannon and rifles. The cannons were captured and smaller ones were removed, while the larger ones were buried. Captain Lawton, in his report, makes special mention for bravery of Sergeants List and McMahon. General Chaffee has ordered that in the future complete records shall be kept of all natives taking the oath of allegiance to the United States. Duplicates of the records will be signed in English, Spanish and Tagalog. The Philippine constabulary, which was organized last August, is proving itself a valuable adjunct to the military authorities and is making an enviable record. The United States distilling ship Iris has been ground on a reef near Iloilo for three days past. The United States cruiser New York and gunboat Yorktown have gone to her assistance. The local steamer Alerta, with 200 passengers, including some discharged American soldiers from Olongapo. Sublig bay to Manilla, is believed to have been lost. DEFIANT STRIKERS ROUTED. Officers of Court In Kentucky Break Up Camp Near Nortonville. Officers of the law swooped down upon the famous camp of the striking union miners that has been located about a quarter of a mile south of Nortonville, Ky., Saturday, and there is nothing left to mark the rendzvous of those who defied the officers and even the courts, and gave the state and county authorities so much trouble for the past two months, save ash heaps, straw that was used for beds, holes in the ground made by the tent stays and other marks of debris incident to camp life. All of the campers on whom the sun rose Sunday morning, with the exception of a very few who escaped the officers, are prisoners behind the bars of the county jail, charged by County Judge Hall with a "breach of peace, unlawfully assembling and banding together, thereby making the camp a menace and terror to the public peace." The four large tents with all the camp paraphernalia, were captured and transported to Madisonville with the prisoners. Gigantic Oil Tank Steamer. A contract has been closed, by the William A.' Trigg Shipbuilding Company, at Richmond, Va., witti the Standard, Oll Company for the construction of a tank steamer to carry 1,500,000 gallons of oil, and to cost $439,000. Good Roads Train of Southern Arrives In Alabama Capital. The Southern railroad's, good roads train of twelve cars arrived at Montgomery, Ala., Monday morning to stay one week. The train is in charge of President W. H. Moore and Secretary R. W. Richardson, of the National Good Roads Association of America, and contains ten cars of machinery. A corps of twenty-two experts is with the train, which is accompanied, by representatives of the Southern railway. The good roads convention will be held November 29 and 30. The Savannah Tribune. WHELMED BY DEADLY DAMP. Eight Promilient Inspectors Go Down Into the Treacherous Baby Mine and Fail to Return. A special from Bluefields, W. Va., says: At 11 o'clock Friday morning Superintendent Walter O'Malley, of the Pocahontas Collieries Company, along with Stale Mine Inspector William Friest, A. S. Hurst, chief coal inspector of the Castner, Curran & Bullitt Company, of Philadelphia; Robert St. Clair, chief coal inspector; Morris St. Clair and William Oldham, sub-c coal inspectors; Frazier G. Bell, mining engineer, and Joseph Cardwell, manager of the Shamokln Coal and Coke Company, of Maybury, W. Va., composing a party of eight, entered the west mine of the Southwest Virginia Improvement Company's collieries for the purpose of examining the true situation in regard to the recent explosion and fire in the Baby mine, and up to midnight had not been heard from. It was supposed that the Baby mine proper had been cut off from the west mine 101 the purpose of operating the west mine. The large fan in the west mine had been started at an early hour Friday morning, and at 11 o'clock it was thought that all gases originating from fire in the Baby mino had been forced from the main portion, and it was considered safe to enter. At 6 p.m. a party consisting of experienced miners, led by Assistant Superintendent King, entered the mine to rescue the party of eight, but forty-five minutes later they returned, having encountered such quantities of black damp as to make it impossible to enter any distance into the mine. Superintendent King was completely overcome by the gas encountered, and was soon in a critical condition. The secretary and treasurer of the Southwest Improvement Company, C. S. Thorne, of Philadelphia, is directly in charge of all movements at the mines. The fire originally started in the Baby mine last Thursday morning and which was supposed to have been under control, is now burning furiously. All members of the lost party are prominent in the coal fields, and the excitement now prevailing in Pocahontas is intense, business having been practically suspended. All members of the party are married, some having large families. ALL BODIES RECOVERED. Total Fatalities in Colorado Mine Accident Reduced to Twenty-Five. A special from Telluride, Colo., says: The work of recovering the bodies of the victims of the disaster in the Smuggler-Union mine progressed slowly until Friday, when the last body was brought to the surface. It was that of John Nevala. The death list now numbers twenty-five, the brave engineer who sacrificed himself in an effort to rescue his comrades having died Friday afternoon. The responsibility for the disaster has not yet been fixed. The coroner has held an inquest over the bodies and several of them have been sent to relatives in various parts of the state. The citizens completed arrangements to bury the others with honour. It is said that the company will close its mine for about thirty days, during which time the workings which were damaged to the extent of more than $50,000 will be repaired and will then reopen with a force of between 700 and 1,000 men. <BLOOD AFFECTS PRISONER. Mrs. Bonine Showed Emotion When Gore-Stained Shirt Was Exhibited. Five witnesses were heard Friday in the trial at Washington, D. C., of Mrs. Lola Ida Bonine for the murder of James S. Ayres, Jr. Four of these witnesses were police officers who had gone to Ayres' room after the discovery of the body by employees of the Kehmore hotel, and the fifth was W. W. Warfield, who was proprietor of the hotel at the time of the tragedy. In concluding his examination in chief of one, witness, District Attorney Gould, put in evidence the undershrift found on the body of Ayres. It was well stained with blood. The sight of the garment apparently affected the prisoner more than any preceding incident in the course of the trial. BACON'IN WASHINGTON. Georgia Senator Surprises His Host of Friends at National Capital. Senator Bacon, of Georgia, arrived in Washington Sunday from the Philippines and the Far East. He will go to his home at Macon, where he will remain until time to return to Washington for the beginning of the session of congress. Senator Bacon's arrival was a good deal of a surprise to his many friends at the national capital, because it was supposed that he was with the rest of the congressional party somewhere in the inland sea of Japan or on the PX cliffe out of Japan. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1901. NAY, SAYS UNCLE SAM Proposed Bombardment of City of Colon Will Not Be Allowed. IOWA COMMANDER INSTRUCTED United States Government Has Formally Taken Charge of Isthmian Transit and Will Keep Railway Open. A Washington special says: It is pretty well understood at the national capital that there is to be no bombardment of Colon by either side. While Commander McCrea was given wide discretionary power and nothing was said to him about stopping the bombardment directly, nevertheless the state department established a precedent in these matters last year when it instructed Mr. Gudger to warn some insurgents at Panama that they would not be allowed to bombard that port. If the government troops on the Pinzon should persist in their purpose, it is said that the commanders of the various warships at Colon would require that ample time be allowed for the withdrawal from the town of all foreigners, and the attacking force, to escape restraint, would be obliged to direct its bombardment with such rare precision as to destroy the insurgent defenses without harming the railroad property, and even without endangering the passage of tralns, conditions probably not to be met. The secretary of the navy Monday cabled Captain Perry, of the Iowa, to assume full command of all the United States naval forces on both sides of the isthmus, is order to assure harmonious operations. Consul General Gudger's last dispatch, which came after 1 o'clock p. m., was about as follows: "Our troops have arrived at Matchin, one-half of the way across the Isthmus. No obstructions and Columbian government seemed to be victorious over the insurgents." Uncle Sam Takes Charge. The United States government has taken charge of isthmian transit. A dispatch received at the navy department from Captain Perry, of the battle ship Iowa, at Panama, reports that fact. Captain Perry says that General Alban has landed with a detachment of men from the Iowa and has started with a train to clear transit and also establish detachments of men to keep it so. Commander McCrea, of the Machias, at Colon, has cabled the navy department notifying the department of the approaching bombardment of that town and asking for instructions. He has been instructed to take such steps as he deems necessary for the protection of American interests at Colon. While no specific statement is made as to the details of this instruction, it is understood that it leaves discretionary with Commander McCrea the preyment of a bombardment. Mr. Herran, charge d'affaires of the Colombian legation, received the following cablegram Monday morning: "Panama.-November 25.—Colombian Minister, Washington. Rebel army completely defeated at Culebra and Emperador, Governor marched last night upon Colon. Traffic interrupted yesterday, but will be re-established today. ARJONA, Colon Sapphire Committee. The state department has received confirmation of the reported defeat of the liberal troops by the Colombian government troops. This came in a cablegram from Consul General Gudger, at Panama, Monday afternoon, in which he says that the railroad is now unobstructed and that the government forces have been victorious over the revolutionists. He further reports that the blue jackets from the Machias have gone inland and now occupy a point midway of the isthmus. October Revenue Stamps. During October, 1901, internal revenue receipts were $24,359,907, a decrease as compared with October, 1900, of $3,104,672. The decrease for the four months of the present fiscal year amounts to $8,460,053. AUDIENCE CHEESED FOR SCHLEY An Exciting Scene Occurs During Play In Theatre at Chicago. Much excitement was caused at the Cleveland theatre in Chicago Monday night when Aldrich Libbey was singing a new ballad entitled "All Honor to Admiral Schley." At the concluding lines of the chorus:— "Then off with your hats, And give him three cheers. All honor to Admiral Schley"—over half the audience rose to its feet and cheered-vigorously. The singer was forced to respond to seven encores. METHODIST CONFERENCE ENDS. Next Meeting to Be Held In Atlanta. Notes and Incidents of the Meeting Just Closed at Rome. During the Monday morning's session of the North Georgia Methodist Conference an unusual incident occurred while the characters of the ministers were being passed upon. When the name of Rev. W. A. Mallory, of the Athens district, was called, a statement was made that Mr. Mallory had seriously impaired his usefulness by the practice of mesmerism. It would seem that Mr. Mallory is a hypnotist of no little ability, and simply used his powers in experiments. Some of his members thought he was practicing some strange form of sorcery, and it finally resulted in Mr. Mallory resigning his charge. He asked to be located again. Rev. H. R. Davies, statistical secretary, made his report, which is condensed, into the following interesting facts and figures for the North Georgia conference: Local preachers, 307; members, 99, 486; infants baptized, 1,108; adults baptized, 2,407; Epworth Leagues, 124; members leagues, 4,077; Sunday schools, 725; Sunday school teachers, 5,568; Sunday school scholars, 43,53; collected tor widows and orphans, $15,944; collected for missions, $53,247, an increase over $5,000; paid for support presiding elders, $19,392; of preachers in charge, $132,044; bishops, $2,916. Total collections for all purposes, $228,560. There are 782 societies, 763 churches. Value of churches, $1,003,282. Parsonages, 181; value, $267,655. During the year, 3,963 were received into the church on profession of faith and 9,966 by certificate. Good increase in all collections. Dr. C. E. Dowman made a statement concerning Emory college and its needs. He said that a new science hall was one of the crying needs, and that Captain Williams, of Savannah, had offered $15,000 for this purpose on condition that $15,000 more would be raised. He said $7,000 had been secured. Bishop Galloway arose and made an eloquent appeal and in half an hour the conference had pledged itself to raise over $5,000 next year. Dr. Dowman stated afterwards that he had no fear now but that the new science hall would be secured. The admission of a minister from the Florida conference with the North Georgia, conference gives the body exactly the requisite number to have seven clerical and seven lay delegates to the general conference. As only six of each were elected, one more lay and one more clerical are thus secured. Dr. C. W. Byrd invited the conference to meet with the First church, Atlanta, next year. An invitation was also extended from Milledgeville, but Atlanta won easily. The conference will meet in Trinity church, Atlanta, next year. The appointments of pastors to charges for 1902 were read out Monday night by Bishop Galloway. FOUR GIRLS CREMATED. Horrible 'Catastrophe Results From Careless Use of Kerosene Oil. Garretts Cause of Kersicoch. Four persons were burned to death and injured in a fire Monday morning, which destroyed the residence of J. G. Miller at Knoxville, a suburb of Pittsburg, Pa. The dead are Rose Miller, aged 23, terribly burned and died on the way to the hospital; Amelia Miller, aged 19 years, suffocated by the smoke; Amanda Miller, aged 15 years, suffocated; Sylvia Miller, aged 9 years, suffocated. The injured are: J. G. Miller, the father, jumped from second story window; leg broken; will recover; Mrs. Miller, badly burned and on verge of nervous prostration. The two other daughters, aged 11 and 13, escaped without injury. The fire was caused by the oldest daughter, Rose, pouring kerosene in the stove to start the fire for breakfast. The oil in the can ignited, and the explosion which followed scattered the burning oil over the room. —Heavy fighting has occurred along the line of the Panama railway between the government and insurgent forces. Many were killed and wounded. BOOKKEEPER LOOTS BANK. Trusted Employee Robs Liverpool, England, Concern of $450.000. Announcement is made that the bank of Liverpool has been victimized by the trusted bookkeeper to a large amount. What the losses amount to is not yet known, but an official statement issued by the bank says that through the dishonesty and betting transactions of a bookkeeper they may lose £170,000 ($850,000). The bank of Liverpool shares fell £13 on the stock exchange. COLOMBIA SQUEALS Admits Her Inability to Preserve Order in Isthmus of Panama. ASKS HELP OF UNITED STATES South American Racket Seems to Be Reaching Graver Proportions. Insurgents Make Things Lively. Advices from Colon, Colombia, state that it is reported that the government has addressed a communication to the United States setting forth that it cannot guarantee protection for ishman transit. The sailing boats having ninety-seven soldiers on board, which left Panama with General Alban, returned to that place at 3 p.m. Friday, and General Alban and fifty soldiers arrived there on board the gunboat Boyaca at 7 p.m. The liberals assert that General Lorenzo attacked General Alban's forces after it had landed at Chaco, near Chorrera, and defeated it, only General Alban and a few of his troops escaping. It is also claimed by the liberals that another division of General Alban's army was routed by General Luego when 400 of Alban's troops joined the liberals' ranks. The liberals at Colon are jubilant and assert that they expect General Luego to arrive at Colon momentarily. Further details of the later decisive fighting are expected at Panama at any moment. Senor Esperella, counsel for the Panama railroad, who was appointed provisional prefect by the liberals Thursday, has declined the office, and Dr. Campilló has been appointed prefect in his place. Senor Salaz has accepted the appointment as mayor, which was offered to Dr. Valverde. The latest news in Colon is to the effect that the liberal general, Luego, has arrived at Empire Station, distant twelve miles from Panama, with a force said to number 1,000 men. The liberals are gaining and arming many recruits along the entire length of the railroad and now control the line up to within a point two miles from Panama. An attack on that city is expected momentarily and much uneasiness is felt there. The liberal leader, Domingo Dlaz, is expected shortly to arrive at Colon. It is rumored that Buena Ventura, a Colombian port on the Pacific coast, about 400 miles south of Panama, has been taken by the liberals. Marines from the gunboat Machias still guard the station and property of the railroad. The battleship Iowa will land forces at Panama when the necessity arises. The liberals have already given notice that the ad valorem duty on goods disembarked at Colon will henceforth be 10 per cent, not 20 per cent, as formerly. All the stores in Colon are open, and business has resumed. TRUE FRIENDS OF THE SOUTH Lincoln and McKinley Put In That Category By McLaurin. A New York dispatch says: Russell Sage and Miss Anna M. Gould were honored guests at the seventh annual banquet of the Society of Mayflower descendants at Delmonico's Friday night. Senator McLaurin, of South Carolina, one of the principal speakers, said: "There are only two men of our history who fully understood the south—Lincoln and McKinley. If Lincoln had lived there would have been an end to carpetingism among us, and if McKinley had lived he would have reunited the discordant sections of the south, for, more than any other man, he understood them." Enormous Inheritance Tax. The heirs of the late Cornelius Vanderbilt, at New York, must pay $361,803.43, into the coffers of Uncle Sam. This is the total of the inheritance tax fixed by the federal government against the estate. GREEKS CONTINUE RIOTING. Scandalous Scenes of Disorder Enacted In Streets of Athens. The turbulent demonstrations in Athens, Greece, growing out of the proposal to translate the gospels into modern Greek were continued Friday in the streets, especially in front of the chamber of deputies and before the university. There were many ugly rushes. The military are finding difficulty in controlling the riots. The meeting of the chamber of deputies Friday was marked by a series of violent altercations. SOUTHERN PROGRESS. The New Industries Reported In the South During the Past Week. Among the more important of the new industries reported for the past week are bottling works at Brownsville, Tenn., and Bay City, Texas; a $10,000 brick plant at Orange, Texas; a $100,000 brick plant at Charleston, W.

C.; and a $20,000 company to manufacture vinegar, extracts, etc., at Nashville, Tenn.—Tradesman, Chattanooga, Tenn. RETURN THAT CHURCH MONEY. Red-Hot Resolution to That Effect Adopted By the Methodists. In the North Georgia conference at Rome Judge H. E. W. Palmer's resolution concerning the Methodist war claim, and its being refunded to the government, was taken up for discussion, and, one of the liveliest debates of the conference was precipitated, in which a number of stirring speeches were made. The resolution was finally adopted by a rousing vote. After reciting the action of the bishops and detailing the case in a long preamble, the resolution is as follows: 1. We heartily indorse the action of our bishop in pledging that proper steps would be taken to have the entire amount of the war claim returned to the government upon the conditions stated by them in their letter. 2. That in our opinion the senate of the United States has by affirmative action declared that the passage of the sald bill without amendment was due to misleading statements on the part of the representatives of our church. 3. That inasmuch as only the general conference of our church has authority to take final and binding action in the premises, we hereby memorize the body, which is to meet in Dallas, Texas, in May, 1902, to promptly return to the government of the United States, for the reasons stated in the sald letter of our bishops and sald resolution of the United States, the entire amount of money paid by it on account of sald war claim. 4. That a certified copy of this preamble and of these resolutions be duly forwarded by the secretary of this conference to the general conference, which is to meet in Dallas, Texas, in May, 1902. H. E. W. PALMER. JOHN B. ROBINS. W. P. LOVEJOY. New Telephone Corporation. At Dover, Del., articles of incorporation have been filed by the Louisville Home Telephone Company, of Louisville, Ky., to contract, maintain and operate a telephone line system. The capital is $1,000,000. President of Venezuela Places His Minister of War Under Arrest. A cable dispatch from Caracas, Venezuela says: President Castro, believing that a conspiracy to overthrow him existed, caused the arrest-Friday at Puerto Cabello, of Ramona Guerra, the minister of war. The president also brought about the arrest at Caracas, of a number of partisans of Ramona Guerra, among them being Montauban, who claims to be a French citizen. The arrests have caused a great sensation. PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY, BY THE TRIBUNE PUBLISHING CO 116 W. St. Julian Street. Ga. 'Phone 574. SUBSCRIPTION RATE S.

SATURDAY NOVEMBER 30, 1901. A HAPPY home is an earthly paradise. The lack of race pride is the curse of any people. All of the Negroes are not bad, yet some folks think so. MUCH of the salvation of our people depend upon the women. The most prejudiced white man dislikes a sycophantic Negro. PUBLIC opinion should be educated against lynching and other forms of lawlessness. EVERYTHING that our white friends do to retard our growth, effects them likewise We are our poor brothers' keepers and we should do all we can to ameliorate their condition. The acquisition of wealth and the moulding of a good character should be the ambition of our young men. THE boys and girls of today will be the men and women of to-morrow; trained them to properly meet the stern realities of life. TALK is again renewed to cut down the representatives in congress of all states according to the number of votes cast. This is just and it should be enacted. The greatness of a people is shown in their manner of helping the needy as far as they are able to. On this line our people can do a great deal more charitable work than they now accomplish. THOSE of the opposite race are doing everything possible for the development of their young. Can we not imitate them on this line? If the young of any race needs development, it is ours. THERE should be no less than four thousand colored men in this county to pay a dollar a year poll tax for the education of their children. At present there is less than one fourth of that number. The others are drones and a drawback to the race. THE proneness of some of our men to carry concealed weapons, has caused many of them to come to grief. A pistol, or a gun is a good thing to have to protect your fireside, but do not have it concealed on your person. SENATOR BELL has deep down in his heart the idea of curtailing the educational facilities of the Negro. His bill on this line comes up before the legislature on Monday for consideration. Yet if it passes and a just division of all school moneys is made, the Negro would be better off, but it is the justice of this division that we are afraid. It is real disgusting to be at the "Jim Crow" entrance of the Savannah Theatre and note the number of respectable looking young women of our race, stamping under their feet all feeling of race pride and stultifying their womanhood in accepting the inferior accommodation that is accorded them. It is also said to note that even some of our school teachers are among the number, the ones who should be the example of our children. THE TRIBUNE has among its readers a large number of the solid men of the race—farmers. Many of these men are thrifty, owning considerable property and are continually improving the same. There is a another class that acts to the reverse. They allow their land and buildings to go to ruin without any effort whatever to repair anything. They should understand that their property will not be of any value to them unless they adopt better method. Sayannah, Ga, Nov. 1901. Editor TRIBUNE: Editor, TABRIDES domestic citizens who are in favor of the advancement of the Negro race suc- ceeded not long ago in having a free school established at Odd-Fellows hall Duffy street. In doing so they did our race a good that we will ever be thankful for. They did more than we expected of them and now it is the duty of every man or woman, boy or girl in this city to start where they left off. Some will ask, what needs to be done? To them I will answer, there is so much done to do that city is one of all the people of this city. The school is in a miserable condition, fact it is worst than most of the county schools; the benches have no backs and there is no desks for the children and when they write they kneel down on the floor and write on the bench, that was made for them to sit on. It seems impossible for such a state of affairs to exist in such a place like Savannah with so much educated men. I noticed in the editorial columns of THE TRI- BUNE of Saturday Nov. 16, about the school and the theatre, and I am in favor of them. We don't like jim crow cars and we should not like jim crow theatres. We get the same accommodation in the theatres that we would get in jim crow cars if we had any. Every colored person in Savannah should make a resolution that they will not visit the theatre as long as the present accommodation exceeds the start a movement for the betterment of the Duffy, street school, and will take one-half of the money they throw away at the theatre and spend it for the betterment of this school. Will you lend a helping dollar, fifty cents a week to we center to education, and help it on its way? We have enough round shouldered children in this city now and if something is not done right away, we will have a school that will graduate nothing but round shouldered and consumptive children. The course we can find for this state of affairs is that we can take it, but they will not have that excuse any longer because I have fully informed them as to the true state of affairs. Hoping that every cofedored citizen of Savannah will think the above over carefully, I am yours respectfully. Adam S. Rogers. THE TRIBUNE is real glad to publish the above article. It is from a young man and it has the right ring about it, and we only wish that many other young men were imbued with the same spirit. What he says of the theatre and the school is correct. If certain of our school teachers, well-known young ladies and men would stop degrading themselves by accepting "jim crow" accommodation at the theatre and with others assist in ameliorating the condition of our school children, the result would be more beneficial. This matter should be brought to the attention of the board of education and if they refuse to place deks in this school, THE TRIBUNE would gladly head a list with a good sum to do so.—Ed. Thanksgiving Sermon. Dr. Post delivered a very timely and eloquent sermon at the First Congregational church on Thanksgiving Day. The service was well attended and the anthems by the choir were exceptionally good. A committee of ladies had around the pulpit and choir stand tastefully arranged, with vegetables, fruits, etc., which were after the service, distributed to the poor. This is one of the features of the Thanksgiving service of this church and is very commendable. We wisen that we had space to publish the sermon in full, following is a part of what the speaker said: Every man has to work out his own destiny and so does every race. In what country in the world could the children of the African descent work out their problems to better advantage than here under the flag of freedom? How different the situation if we were in Turkey where the government seizes on three-fourths of the crop of the farmer for taxes. Think of Russia, where if you speak the word FREEDOM you are sent in chains for life to the Siberian mines. Would you prefer Germany to our country? Germany where the flower of the nation is in the great standing army, so many soldiers to be fed and clothed that it is a common saying there that every laboring man has to carry a soldier on his back. Our country is not faultless, not always true to the golden rule, and yet I know you will join me in thankfulness for this land of the free and home of the brave. The people who give character and position to the South are for the most part intelligent and law abiding and not unfriendly to the true interests of all classes and races in the South. As a rule, the kind, honest, and faithful person, whatever may be his complexion, will be dealt with justly. It is the lazy and immoral who bring reproach and abuse upon the colored people. It is said that five of every hundred of them are criminals and unquestionably the ninety-five reputable persons out of the hundred are misjugged and have to suffer some what on account of the vice and crime of the five. The well meaning majority of the colored people ought not to be condemned because of the lawless and wicked minority; but so it is to a considerable degree everywhere. By education and morality let us do all we can to reduce that minority to a cipher. I would that there were not in practice so many exceptions made to the Golden Rule, and yet I think the rule is influencing more people to-day than ever before. Even selfishness is learning that it is for its interest to be just. I have been gratified to observe that as a rule our courts in the south deal with even-handed justice with blacks and whites. Prejudice and selfishness die hard, and yet there is at the bottom a manliness and conscience in the south which intelligence and honesty, thrift and steadfast attention to our own business, appeal to powerfully and successfully. The fact is we are all knit together inseparably. The white race needs the black race, and the black race needs the white race. We are all in the same ship; and if the ship goes down it matters not whether we are steerage or cabin passengers, we shall all alike drown. We are here, both races are here and here to stay. No human power can change that, and our future is good or ill according as we are righteous or unrighteous toward one another. Judge Jerome, who ran far ahead of his ticket in New York City, said in one of his stump speeches, "You can not pin to the truth and fail." Put that where you will see it every day. Luther died in a dark hour of discouragement. He often thought he had failed. But all the world now knows that he did not. Cromwell had some dark and hopeless hours, but England is building monuments to him to-day. At one time in slavery days Fred Douglass seemed to think God was dead, but now there is no slave where our flag floats. Let us also thank our Heavenly Father for our homes. Think how many never know the meaning of that word. Take the world over, half the people have no home—simply a staying place. God be praised for our homes; homes where intelligence and love are king and queen. Dr. Hillis said the other day, that "America is the only country in the world which has a holiday made especially for the binding of homes." The liberties of our republic are infirned in the home and the school house and the church, trinity of our national life. America has the strongest forfections in the world, its intelligent and virtuous homes; the strongest standing army in the world, its industrious and independent citizens. O, keep your homes sacredly pure and atmosphered with law and love. There is one black cloud which I confess alarms and sometimes discourages me; one evil which threatens our homes, our churches, our nation. I mean the liquor evil, the devil of intemperance; and along with this an imp that I always include with it—tobacco. Thank God the Sunday School on last Sunday had a temperance lesson. Why four-fifths of the poverty and rascality of the colored race is to be traced to strong drinks. The drink habit is the great enemy to the black and white race. How happy and prosperous Savannah would be if there was not a drop of whiskey in it. What a joy then would light up many homes now dark with sin. Think then how many church debts would soon disappear if every church attendant would throw away his tobacco and give even five cents for every day in the year to pay the debts. Tobacco and intoxicating drink are consuming the money and vitality of so many. By practice and by precept, fight against this enormous evil. However there is a narrow silver lining to this cloud. The banishment of the liquor canteen from the army is a gain. The whiskey drinking army officers try to deny this, but such men as Gen. Miles, and Gen. Daggett testify to the gain. Also our railroads and manufacturers are beginning to lay down the rule that their employees must be abstainers from liquor. England and Germany say that their skilled laborers drink, and hence work with unsteady hand; while America's skilled laborers, as a rule, do not drink; and herein they find a reason why we are outstripping them and leading the world in manufacturers. On this Thanksgiving Day we cannot, we would not forget that the year has brought to us changes. Some of them we scarce can name for tears; vacancies which years can not fill. The Heavenly Reaper has visited our garden and taken some of the flowers away to the home He is preparing for us in heaven. What a thanksgiving we will have in the "Homelaud" some day! Meanwhile some of our richest gifts come to us in what our Father takes, so giving or taking we'll try to say "Blessed" be the name of the Lord. We will also praise our Father for health, for reason, for sweet friendship, for our dear church and for the thousand good enterprises which grow out of it; for work and its rewards, for the glorious example of the fathers; for the still more glorious opportunity of the present and of the widening future, and for the privilege of living unselfish and heroic lives and building a world which shall be after the pattern of the heavenly. It is a joy to perceive that if slowly yet surely men are learning that man exists not only to grow his own soul, but also to help grow the soul of the world, the kingdom of God. Remember our religion is a fire which goes out unless it is communicating itself to others. The great ages of the world have those in which men loved and forgave and sacrificed greatly. Wrong dies hard but the decree has gone forth; it has to die. May we all be in at the burial. The better day is coming surely as morning succeeds night. By the toils and prayers and afflictions and sacrifices of Christian men and women, by the promises of the eternal God, by the agonies of our blessed Lord, that a better day is coming; so today we will "thank God and take courage." St. Philips Church Dots When you fail to attend St. Philips Sunday services you miss somevery fine discourses delivered by the pastor, Rev. Cargile. Every body is invited to attend. The concert given on Monday night last at St. Philips bv Mr. Sidney Woodward was not patronized as it should have been. We don't understand why it is that our race of people will not attend all high class entertainments given by our people. The admission was reasonable enough only 15 cents, and yet we did not take the advantage of attending. Mr Woodward is too well known as a singer, and he is to day one of the best teur singers in the country. His engagement was advertised thoroughly by the papers. Mr Woodward is no ten cents singer and cannot afford to have a ten cents audience. All who failed to hear him missed a treat. Rev M J Maddox will lecture at St. Philips on Thursday night Dec. 4th; come out and hear him and you will not regret it. The sisters of the Eastern Star held memorial services at St. Philips on last Sunday night in respect of Mrs. D. Edwards who was the Worthy Grand Matron of that Order. The services were very elaborate. Rev. Cargile made an address on the life and death of Mrs. Edwards. ·A five nights entertainment given by the choir of St. Philips was given in the Ladies Exchange this week. Those who have not paid their conference dollar will please pay it by next Sunday as the time is very short; Rev. Cargile is anxious for you to do so. A set of resolutions were passed in the official board on Friday night on the death of Bros. Ward and Cotton. Bro. A. H. Hamilton is still very ill, also Mrs. Gardner. We have urged the members of St. Philips to subscribe for THE TRIBUNE and read your local news. Mr. M. C. Rogers general chairman of St. Philips fair which will be given at Harris street hall from January 6th to 16th 1902, announces that the serveral prizes will be on exhibition very soon; look out for them and enter the several contests. Prince Oska Suma the African Prince will give an exhibition and lecture on Africa on Wednesday night December 11th, admission 10 cents, half of proceeds go to the church. Prof. H. T. Kealing, A. M., editor of the A. M. E. Church Review arrived in the city on Sunday night, and was the guest of Rev. Cargilel and also paid a visit to the Georgia State Industrial College, and left on Tuesday noon for his home in Philadelphia, Pa. He is expected back in about two weeks and we are going to try and arrange to have him stop over and give us one of his superb lectures. Sunday services: Prayer meeting at 5 a. m.; preaching at 11 a. m; Sunday School at 2 p. m.; communion at 4 p. m.; preaching at 8:15 p. m. A cordial invitation to all. Fighting for His Race. Having received information from a friend in Atlanta that some aggressive action would be necessary to prevent the passage of the Felder Bill, which provides for the separation of the races on street cars throughout the state of Georgia, Dr. Durham addressed a letter to Hon. R. M. Hitch, one of the legislators from this county, in which he set forth a number of strong reasons why the bill should not become a law, and asked Mr. Hitch to use his influence and voice against the bill. In reply Dr. Durham received the following from Representative Hitch: Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 15, 1901. Rev. J. J. Durham, Savannah, Ga. Dear sir: Your protest against the passage of the Felder street car bill has been received and shall be given careful consideration. The objections you urge are forceful and mighty. Very truly yours, R. M. Hitch. It will be remembered that a similar bill came up in our city council here a few weeks ago, when Dr. Durham with others appeared before the council and made a speech against it, defeating it almost unanimously, there being but one vote in its favor. That author of the bill now seeks to have it passed by the Legislature, and make it a state law to compell street car conductors to separate the races on the cars. We hope the unjust and unnecessary measure will meet the same fate in the Georgia Legislature that it did in our city council. Co. A's Anniversary. Company A, First Battalion, Infantry, Georgia State Troops, Colored, attended services at St. Stephen's Episcopal church in a body Sunday night last, in commemoration of the anniversary under state regulations. The Rev. Richard Bright took for his subject "The Soldier as a Citizen." The company arrived promptly at the hour set 8:45 in large numbers, filing in right and left filling the front pews immediately in the room, and then admitting the speaker. A sturder body of men never graced a church. Mr. Bright welcome the brawny strangers to the church as a body and extended welcome to them as individuals, they may hereafter feel themselves perfectly at home whenever there. They were tortured by the nucleus can properly be said to have commenced thirty-three years ago, a temporary organization having been formed Feb. 11, 1888, and was known as the Saxons, consisting principally of ex-Union soldiers, fourteen in number, with one general. Many hardships countered the efforts to keep to the meeting at times on the Thunderbolt road in open air at night and such old shanties as were to be found in the extreme "Old Fort." Their real object was the uplifting and improvement of the young men's citizenship and the protection of home and happiness. The struggle and vindications marked the existence of that peculiar time when the Union Lincoln Guards was permanently organized with THIS STORE is growing better every day. It is absolutely the popular trading place of people of all kinds of purses. Everything known in Dress Goods, Ready Made Suits, Millinery, and House Furnishings.

Hammond, and Robert Baldwin as captain and lieutenants respectively. Capt. J. H. Hammond served then, holding one of the oldest communications in the state, at least among the colored militia. The present commander, Willis J. Pinckney, has been a commissioned officer five years, two of them with the amalgamated Forest City's and company A with the assistance of Lieuts E E. DesVerey and P. L. Bowen, the corps has been greatly augurred by the high state of efficiency in the movements. "The soldier as a citizen" is a subject replete with much good thought and advice. If carried out by our young soldiery will go a long way in forming the dormant and basic principal of true citizenship connected with the well disciplined soldier, making the ideal man. Brigadier General length and with feeling on their rights and duties as men, the advantage that will accrue therefrom, advicing too, that to be a true soldier one must be a true patriotic citizen; exercising as far as possible those fundamentals as announced by the lamentable Lincoln whose very name they bear. While the weapon of the soldier brave is the sword, the gun and bayonet, the bolt and bayonet, the true and potent weapon of the citizen and rightly used is fairer than ten thousand charms elate. A. U. Items. Atlanta University has just closed a wonderfully successful football season. The following teams have been defeated: Atlanta Baptist College by a score of 5 to 0; Clafin University by 19 to 0 and Clark University 11 to 0. The game with Claflin was by far the hardest game as well as beautiful exhibition of football. It was clean and gentlemanly throughout and no one has a word of censure for any player of either side. It is really remarkable how Atlanta with its 300 students can continue to win from schools that have 700 and 1200; may it not be a matter of mental discipline? Seaboard Air Line. The Seaboard Air Line Railway announces that, effective October 15, 1891, round trip Winter Excursion tickets will be sold to resort points on its lines in North and South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida.

In Memoriam. In memory of my dear husband Daniel B. Gadsden who departed this life Nov. 30th., 1900. Dear husband, one year ago this very day, the angel of death claimed thee for our Father's kingdom. I sadly watched over thy dying bed until the last breath was drawn. Oh! how sad it was for me to say, he is dead. Thou said "Father I've fought a good fight. I've won the prize, I've finished the work Thou gave me to do; receive me into Thy kingdom." Oh call it not death! It is life begun; for the Jordon is crossed, the home is won; the ransom spirit hath reached the shore, where they weep and suffer and sin no more, and is safe in our Father's house above—in the place prepared by our Savior's love. To depart from a world of sin and strife and to be with Jesus! Yes! this is life. Mrs. Mary Gadsden. Rev. L. Simpkin preached a nice sermon on Sunday at the Methodist church.

Victor and Louis are the only ones in the direct line and neither of them is married. The Bonapartes of Rome, as elsewhere, are slowly’ dying out, The male branch is already ex- tinct, the.last being Napoleon Charles, who died in 1899. This prince distin- guished himself in the Franco-Prussian war, and, being: taken prisoner, con- tracted the disease from which he died later, through the unsanitary and damp prison in which he was confined. Em- peror William L, hearing that there was a Prince Bonaparte among his captives, ordered him a commodious apartment and every comfort, which was accepted until the prince heard that his brother officers were to be left behind, when he resolutely refused evrything and suffered the consequences until his death. He was buricd in Corsica, his funeral being made the.occasion of a great demonstra- tion in favor of his family by the island- crs. z The Roman branch consists of the di- rect descendants of Lucien, brother of Napoleon I,,, who settled in’Rome. as did ‘Mme. Mere,” his mother, and Pauline Bonaparte-Borghese, his beautiful sister. Practically the last of the female branch bas just died in the person of Countess Primoli, nee Princess Charlotte Bona- parte, for, although she leaves sons,, as did her sister, Princéss Roccagionane, they are always considered to belong rather to the families of their respective fathers than to the Bonapartes. Countess Primoli-in her youth kept up the tradi- tions of the Bonaparte women for per- sonal beauty, was fond of society, and kept open house; but on the death of her eldest son some years ago she received such a shock that she retired from the world, and was scarcely seen by any outside her family circle.

Story of a Lady Dweller on the Open Coast of Scotland. For some time a middle aged woman has been living alone one the open coast of Westerh Scotland. The mysterious manner of her life has puzzled the in- habitants but now that it has been -un- raveled by the London Daily Mail, her story proves more pathetic than roman- tic. She had been a laundress leit was forced to give up her work owing to sheumatism, A s Without any means of earning her “bread, and unwilling to take assistance from friends or relations, sfie decided to leave Glasgow. *With her few belongings in a bag and bundle she walked all the way to Ardmaddy, sleeping at night un- fer the summer skies. She was about four weeks walking the distance, and as she had not enough money to pay for lodgings she decided to live on the shore “near Armaddy Castle, and is still there, an object of curiosity to the highlanders. Her food, instead of being shell fish and berries, as rumor had it, is bread, meat and other things such as she is able to buy. She has apparently had @ smafl_amount of money for the purchase Of sufficient food to keep from starving She spends .mast of her time sitting on a -stone knitting stockings, although she goes herself bare-legged and bare-footed. Her dress is a mixture of cotton and “wool, and is short, reaching only half- ‘way between the knee and ankle, She ‘Has hair of reddish auburn color which might be the envy of any London so- ciety beauty. She bathes every day in the water that dashes on the shore. The bodice of her dress bulges out as though stuffed with many papers, and she in- formed -a Gisitor that in that way she carried the things she most cared for. She is perfectly sane, and when diplo- matically approached is a pleasant talker. ‘She admits that she has parents living, ‘but says she has not heard of them for three years, nor does she desire to do 59. = She has manufactured a little sstore of stones over which she boils a kettle and cpoks her simple food. She hak no protection day or night from the wind or rain, and admits that she will be glad -to.get another situation in a laundry or at housework before the winter comes on.
