DEWEY ALONE APPROVES! Hero of Manila Awards All Honor to Santiago Hero; Others Condemn. FINDINGS OF SCHLEY INQUIRY COURT SENSATIONAL SURPRISE Majority Report Causes a Tremendous Surprise and Indicates That Benham and Ramsey Viewed Evidence In Prejudiced Way, Thus Placing Themselves on the Side of Schley's Detractors. A Washington special says: The most prolonged, interesting and important naval tribunal ever held in this country came to a close (after having in open and secret session lasted three months, short of one week) when Secretary Long at 5 p. m. Friday received the findings of the court of inquiry which inquired into the conduct of Rear Admiral Schley during the Santiago campaign. and lack of enterprise; that his official reports on the coal supply were misleading and inaccurate; that his conduct during the battle was self-posessed and that he encouraged in his own person his subordinate officers and men. Admiral Dewey, president of the court of inquiry, in his report sustains Admiral Schley at all points and completely vindicates him from the aspersions of his foes. Admiral Dewey finds that the passage to Clenfuegos was made with all dispatch; that in view The result was a complete surprise, and it is probable that no prophecy has approached the truth. Instead of one report there are two. Both are signed by George Dewey the president of the court, and by Sam C. Lemly, the judge advocate. This is a form said to be recognized in all courts of inquiry, the signatures of the other members not being necessary. But it is explained that Admiral Dewey signed the second report, a minority report, to express his qualification of or dissent from the views expressed by the court comprising beside himself Admirals Benham and Ramsay, in the first report. It is said at the navy department that there will be no further proceedings in the case on the department's initiative. Secretary Long and Judge Advocate Lemly positively decline to discuss the findings in any phase. The secretary probably will slick append his signature with the word "approved" to the whole record. The court itself recommends no further proceedings owing to the lack of time. A representative of the Association Pres conveyed the first information of the findings of the court to Admiral Schley. He was seated in the public reception room of a hotel, chatting with friends and several newspaper men, and showed no signs of nervousness over the outcome. When the conclusions of Admiral Dewey were read to him, Admiral Schley showed his pleasure, and it was evident from his manner that he regarded the statement from Admiral Dewey as a vindication of his cause. He declined to make any statement concerning the court's findings, and, excusing himself from the little company which had gathered about him, he went to his apartments, where Mrs. Schley had been anxiously awaiting to hear the court's decision. Admiral Dewey declined to make any statement concerning the court's findings. He said the court was not dissolved and that he was still bound by his oath of secrecy. Admirals Benham and Ramsay, in their report, condemn Admiral Schley on eleven points. The majority opinion finds in brief that. Admiral Schley should have proceeded with the utmost dispatch to Clenfuegos and maintained a close blockade; that he should have endeavored to have obtained information of the Spanish squadron there; that he should have proceeded to Santiago with dispatch; that he should not have made the retrograde movement; that he should have obeyed the department's orders; that he should have endeavored to capture the Spanish vessels in Santiago; that he did not do his utmost to destroy the Colon; that he caused the squadron to lose distance in the loop of the Brooklyn; that he thereby caused the Texas to back; that he did injustice to Hodgson; that his conduct in the campaign was characterized by vaccination, dilatoriness. MRS. BONINE ACQUITTED. Washington Woman Declared Not Guilty of the Murder of Ayres. A Washington dispatch says: The jury in the trial of Mrs. Lola Ida Bonine accused of the murder of James Seymour Ayres Jr., the young census office clerk, killed in the Kenmore hotel last spring, returned a verdict Friday night of not guilty, after being out about four hours. Such a conclusion of the trial was generally expected, the popular impression being that from the evidence submitted the prosecution failed to prove its case against Mrs. Bonine. The Savannah and lack of enterprise; that his official reports on the coal supply were misleading and inaccurate; that his conduct during the battle was self-possessed and that he encouraged in his own person his subordinate officers and men. Admiral Dewey, president of the court of inquiry, in his report sustains Admiral Schiey at all points and completely vindicates him from the aspersions of his foes. Admiral Dewey finds that the passage to Clienfuegos was made with all dispatch; that in view of his coal supply, the blockade of Clienfuegos was effective; that he allowed the Adula to enter Clienfuegos to get information; that his passage to Santiago was with as much dispatch as possible, keeping the squadron together; that the blockade of Santiago was effective, and, finally, that he was the senior officer at Santiago, in absolute command and entitled to the credit due for the glorious victory which resulted in the total destruction of the Spanish ships. GEORGIA LEGISLATURE ENDS. Electric Clock Proves an Enigma In Observance of Old-Time Custom. Songs Were In Order. The general assembly of Georgia of 1900-1901 finally ceased to do business at the state capitol in Atlanta Friday night at 11:30 o'clock. The usual closing scenes were enacted, and, when both branches of the legislature adjourned sine die, men who had opposed each other upon the floor in spirited debates during the past two years clasped hands, at the same time expressing regret that the hour of parting had arrived. In many respects the general assembly which thus passed into history was somewhat a remarkable body of men. During the past session some of the most important measures ever considered by any legislature were acted upon. While the clock ticked off the minutes of the closing hours of the session a general love feast was held. The president of the senate, speaker of the house and other prominent members of both houses were remembered by their appreciative colleagues in a manner well calculated to "warm the cockles of their hearts." Handsome gifts were presented and words of highest praise were bestowed upon those who had worked hard during the past two years as representatives of the people in the legislative halls. The time-honored custom of turning back the hands of the clocks was outlawed this year because of the fact that electric timepieces were installed in both branches of the legislature and there was no way of throttling them. True, the faces of these clocks were covered with papers, just for safety's sake, but the precaution came to naught, as adjournment was taken fully half an hour before midnight. After adjournment had been declared in the house many of the members appeared reluctant to leave. Some of the representatives who were known to possess good voices were called upon for songs, and for half an hour the hall rang with the melody of "God Be With You Till We Meet Again," "My Old Kentucky Home," "Home, Sweet Home," and other tuneful airs. Mr. Park, of Troup, who possessed a splendid tenor voice, was prevailed upon to lead the singing, while all the others joined in the choruses with a vim. AIMED AT FUGITIVE TAYLOR. Two Bills Regarding Extradition Are Introduced In Congress. Representative Robinson, of Indiana, Friday introduced two measures to secure the extradition of ex-Governor Taylor, of Kentucky, from Indiana One of the measures is for an investigation as to whether the governor of any state is justified in refusing to recognize extradition papers from the governor of another state. The other provides that in case the governor refuses to recognize extradition papers that they may be executed by a United States marshal. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. DECEMBER 21. 1901 A FLOOD OF RESOLUTIONS. Schley's Friends In Congress Rallying For a Fight and Are Determined on Justice Being Done. Representative Wheeler of Kentucky, a member of the committee on naval affairs, introduced a resolution in the house Tuesday for an investigation of the Schley case. The resolution recites the results of the recent court of inquiry and adds: "Whereas, Admiral George Dewey, recognized as the foremost naval officer of the republic, entirely disagrees and dissents from the opinion of his colleagues on said board of inquiry; and. "Whereas, The American people desire that the conduct of Rear Admiral Schley should be investigated and passed upon by citizens of the republic in nowise connected or identified with the navy department; therefore be it. "Resolved, That the committee on naval affairs of the house of representatives be directed to inquire into the conduct of Rear Admiral Schley from the time he assumed control of the flying squadron up to and including the engagement with the Spanish fleet off the coast of Cuba." Provision is made for a report to the house of representatives and authority is given to send for persons and papers. Representative Mudd, of Maryland, also introduced a resolution relative to Admiral Schley, as follows: "Resolved, That the thanks of congress and of the American people are hereby tendered to Rear Admiral Winfield Scott Schley and the officers and men under his command for their victory over the Spanish forces and the destruction of the Spanish fleet in the naval battle off Santiago de Cuba July 3, 1898." Mr. Mudd says the resolution is not the result of any concerted action by the Maryland delegation and represents his individual views. Investigation Is Demanded. Representatives Cooper and Vandiver also introduced Schley resolutions. Mr. Cooper's resolution declares Schley in command and entitled to credit for the victory at Santiago and directs that he be placed on the active list with the rank he held before retirement. Mr. Vandiver's resolution recites that the language of the court of inquiry reflected upon Admiral Schler and calls for an investigation by seven members of the house, which shall investigate what injustice has been done and what remedy should be applied. Representative Gaines, of Tennessee, introduced a resolution reciting the "unparalleled achievement of Admiral Schley in destroying the entire Spanish squadron with consumable skill and terrible celerity." The resolution makes the opinion of Admiral Dewey the opinion of congress. Representative Ball, of Teas, introduced a resolution tendering the thanks of congress to Admiral Schley. Representative Cummings, of New York, introduced a resolution directing the secretary of the navy to present a sword of honor to Admiral Schley and to strike off bronze "Schley medals" for the officers and men who participated in the battle of Santiago. An appropriation of $10,000 is made. ROSTER OF GEORGIA TROOPS. Inspector General Obear Has Document Ready for War Department. Inspector General Winlam G. Obear has completed making the roster of the Georgia state troops which roster will be forwarded. In a few days to the United States war department by Adjutant General J. W. Robertson. The roster shows 4,772 members of the state militia, an increase of 591 soldiers over last year. Of this number 616 are negroes. There are 83 companies of infantry artillery and cavalry. There are 3,179 members of white infantry, 616 members of negro infantry, 552 members of white cavalry, 224 of heavy artillery, 159 of light artillery, 21 of general staff and 21 of the hospital corps. CANNOT ACCEPT BONDS. President Roosevelt Definitely Decides to Refuse Carnegie Offer. It is said to be definitely decided that President Roosevelt will not accept the offer of Andrew Carnegie of $10,000,000 of bonds of the United States Steel Corporation for the purpose of founding an institution in Washington for higher education. The views of prominent senators and representatives, as they have been given to the president, are practically unanimous against the acceptance of the offer in its present shape. Tribune. SCHLEY TO APPEAL Friends Will Ask Congress For Vindication and Justice. LONG IS SERVED WITH NOTICE Head of Navy Asked by Attorneys to Withhold Approval of Findings of Inquiry Court, Pending Further Action. The Maryland friends in congress of Rear Admiral W.S. Schley have determined to bring his case to the attention of congress and seek there the vindication they claim is due him. This action was determined upon Monday night at a dinner given by General Felix Agnus and attended by Senator McComas, the Maryland members of the house and a few other friends. A resolution will be prepared extending to the admiral the thanks of congress for his services in the battle of Santiago and conferring on him the rank, pay and emoluments of a rear admiral on the active list of the navy. A preamble to the resolution will recite Admiral Dewey's conclusions of the court of inquiry giving Admiral Schley the credit for the victory of the battle of Santiago. Senator McComas will introduce the resolution in the senate, and probably Mr. Mudd a similar one in the house. If deemed expedient, an effort will be made to give Admiral Schley the rank of vice admiral. The resolutions will be prepared promptly and introduced in both houses and an attempt will be made to have early action on them. Retrial of Case Not Wanted. M. A. Teague, one of Admiral Schley's counsel before the court of inquiry, and who was also a guest at the dinner, said that the admiral would not seek a retrial of the case under any circumstances. His desire and that of his friends was that to be relieved of the censure imposed upon him by the report of the majority of the court of inquiry. Nor, he added, would there be any suits instituted having in view the obtaining of money for libelous publications affecting him. Mr Teague said that a vigorous bill of exceptions to the conclusions of the court will be filed with the secretary of the navy. Senator McComas said: "I believe an investigation by congress would not have decisive results It is not advisable. In some fashion this congress should have a chance to vote Admiral Dewey's finding to be in the judgment of congress right or wrong. I want to see such a vote, and I hope to see it before the session ends. I will introduce a practical proposition tending to bring such vote in the senate at least. The details I do not now desire to elaborate." Request Made of Long. Admiral Schley was in consultation Monday with his counsel, Hon. Isidor Raynor and M. A. Teague, also General Felix Agnus, of Baltimore, and Congressman Schirm, of Maryland. After the conference Admiral Schley authorized Mr. Teague to make the following statement: "We have been in consultation as to what further proceedings shall be taken. Nothing definite has been determined upon so far as civil or criminal action against Maclay and his sponsors is concerned. Maclay's claim that the findings of the court are a vindication for himself and his book is absolutely spurious. There are no less than half a dozen instances in the book in which, even if he were to accept the findings of the court and incorporate them in the volume and change it to suit the findings, the book would still be criminal libel." Mr. Teague, during the afternoon, presented the following letter to Secretary Long: "Washington, D. C., December 16. Sir: I have the honor to most respectfully request that you withhold your approval from the findings of the court of inquiry recently held at the navy yard in the city of Washington, of which Admiral George Dewey was president, until such time as I may have an opportunity to file a statement of objection thereto and I therefore request that you do not dissolve the court until action shall have been taken on such objections. Very respectfully, W. S. SCHLEY, Later in the day Secretary Long ac knowledged, in a formal letter, the re ceipt of the request from Admiral Schley for permission to file a bill o objections. The secretary's response was brief and purely formal; it grant ed the request and allowed until Frie day next in which to submit the bill. Admiral Schley has been relieved from further duty in connection with the court of inquiry. "MENTAL HEALER" TO ANSWER Grand Jury of United States Court at Jacksonville, Fla., Find True Bill Against Helen Wilmans. The grand jury in the United States court at Jacksonville, Fla., has returned a true bill against Helen Post, alias Helen Wilmans, of Sea Breeze. The indictment charges that the defendant violated section 5480 of the revised statutes by devising schemes and artifices to defraud persons under false and fraudulent pretenses on her part, by representing that she possessed the power of mental science or mind cure to cure all forms of disease and weakness, for which she received money that was converted to her own use. The case primises to become celebrated, as the mental scientists at their recent national convention at Seabreeze voted to participate in the defense of the accused woman and her associates. Mrs. Post was arrested in August last and has been under $5,000 ball. Her husband, Colonel C. C. Post, and her son in law, S. F. Burgman, were indicted in Macon, Ga., last month. Mrs. Post's operations have been extensive and she is alleged to have made large sums of money by the practice of "mental science." Her instructions to patients are very interesting. They read in part as follows: "I wish you to go alone fifteen minutes each day and hold yourself receptive to my thought, as if you were quietly expecting something-pleasant to come to you. "Do not make any great effort to fix your thoughts on me, but trust me to draw your thoughts to me; I can do it for you better than you can do it for yourself. If your mind wanders do not try to force it back; leave it free. If you become drowsy, give way to the feeling; do not antagonize it. I will take care of your condition, whatever it is." "The first requirement during the time you sit for treatment is that you relax yourself; take the nerve tension off your muscles and your mind, and let yourself down into an attitude of perfect ease and carelessness, as if you did not care how things went; did not even care whether you are sick or not. This attitude releases your thoughts from your disease, and gives my thoughts a chance to come in and cure you." GEORGIA BOY WINS RACE. First to Cross Tape In Six-Day Bicycle Race at Madison Square Garden. A new York dispatch says: Bobby Walthour, of Atlanta, Ga., of the bicycle team of McEachern and Walthour, won the six-day race at the Madison Square Garden Saturday night. He crossed the tape two yards ahead of his nearest competitor. The prizes the men contended for were seven in number, as follows: First prize, $1,500; second, $1,000; third, $750; fourth, $500; fifth, $350; sixth, $250, and seventh prize, $150. In addition the management agreed to pay the training expenses of the men remaining in the race during the six days. "ENDLESS CHAIN A FRAUD." So Declares U, S, Grand Jury In Indicting Cherry, Tree Company Giving Cherry Tree Company. The United States district court at Charlotte, N. C., finally adjourned Saturday night after a five days' session. Among other indictments returned by the grand jury was one against the Amos Owen Cherry Tree Company, doing business at Henriletta, Rutherford county. Under the indictment the defendants, when brought into court, will be tried for fraud and for improper use of the United States mall. The grand jury discovered the fact that the cherry tree company has been operating very extensively and that many persons have been caught by the tempting offers held out by this scheme. A Baltimore dispatch says: Rear Admiral W. S. Schley has notified Attorney General Raynor that he is ready to take any action with reference to his case that Mr. Raynor may advise. Partners of Helen Wilmans Will Also Stand Trial In the United States court Monday at Jacksonville, Fla., the grand jury returned true bills in the case of the United States against C. C. Post and Charles F. Burgman, who, with the former's wife, Helen Wilmans-Post, are charged with defrauding persons by representing to cure all kinds of disease by mental science, or mind cure. Fifteen indictments in all have been filed against the defendants, and the case is now ready for trial, whenever Judge Locke shall set a date for the same to be called. Head of Postoffice Department Resigns His Portfolio. WISCONSON MAN SUCCEEDS HIM New Postmaster General Is Henry C. Payne—Unexpected Change Causes Much Speculation In a Political Way. A Washington special says: Charles Emory Smith has resigned from the cabinet and Henry C. Payne, of Wisconsin, takes his place as postmaster general. The announcement of this change was made late Tuesday afternoon. Naturally it has given rise to all sorts of speculation concerning the motives which prompted the resignation, whether this change will be followed by others and what will be its political effect. It has been known that Mr. Smith has desired to resign his portfolio and return to his editorial work, but it was expected that the cabinet would hold together for some time at least. MANDAMUS IS GRANTED. Judge Candler Decides Howell Resolution Entirely Constitutional An Atlanta dispatch says Judge John S. Candler, of the Stone Mountain circuit, decided Tuesday morning that the Howell resolution, appropriating $325,880 of the public property fund for the payment of the interest on the bonded debt of the state, was entirely constitutional, and granted the mandamus absolute asked for by Governor Candler, which mandamus orders State Treasurer Robert E. Park to transfer the sum mentioned from the public property fund to the interest fund. The hearing of the case occurred in the office of Attorney General Terrell. Only the judge and the attorneys for both sides were present. Only about 30 minutes were occupied in the hearing of the case. Both sides agreed on a statement of facts and the attorneys outlined briefly their contentions. The case will be appealed to the supreme court at once as it is the desire of both sides to have the highest tribunal if the state to pass on the question. It is understood that the supreme court will hear the arguments in the case at once but a decision will not be rendered before January 10th. The case is almost on the same line as the one which was decided on last March, when Treasurer Park declined to use the public property fund as a loan to pay the school teachers. BURGLAR SLAYS WOMAN. In Struggle Miss Murphy Fired Two Ineffective Shots' at Assallant. Harriet P. Murphy, prominent in church and society circles and treasurer of the Kingsley house fund, was murdered at her home in Pittsburg, Pa., by a burglar, about 3 o'clock Tuesday morning. The murderer made his escape, and although the detectives and police force of that section was called, the man has not been arrested. Before receiving her fatal wound, Miss Murphy fired two shots at her assailant. She was an expert with the revolver, having practiced many years for the purpose of protecting herself in the event of just such an attack, and she always had her pistol either under her pillow or within easy reach. Case Will Be Reopened. The Chattanooga chamber of commerce has decided to reopen the action before the interstate commerce commission against the various railroads entering the city from the east for alleged discriminations against Chattanooga in favor of Nashville and other rival cities in freight rates from the east. The case was dismissed by the United States supreme court on a technicality, but can be reopened for hearing on its merits. GET CHRISTMAS MONEY. Georgia Pedagogues Made Happy Over Long Due-Compensation. Georgia school teachers will receive $300,000 from the state this week. The warrants are being drawn by State School Commissioner Glennx and as soon as they are signed by the governor and the comptroller the checks will be sent out. The payment which is to be made will be for the third month. The state is some nine months behind in giving the teachers their money, and there will no doubt be, general rejoicing among the pedagogues.

INDIVIDUAL advancement benefits the race. AGITATION of a dignified kind availeth much. THE Negro needs classical as well as industrial education. FAVORS shown to-day are forgotten to-morrow by some of us. THIS is a season of good, cheer. Let it be observed in a becoming manner. LITTLE can be expected of the man who constantly looks upon the dark side of a question. IN educational relation the Negro is very apt. Let him be just as apt for good in a business way. IN making up your Christmas, account please do not forget the amount you owe THE TRIBUNE. THE coming year should not terminate without the establishment of several more business enterprises among our people in this city. THE salvation of the native Africans on the south coast rests in the victory of the English over the Boers. Let us all pray for this result. A PERSISTENT effort in anything that is undertaken, will eventually bring success. This is a quality that should be possessed by many of our young men. The tax books closed yesterday. How many dudish young men paid their poll tax? They prefer taking giddy girls to the peanut gallery of the Savannah theatre. BEFORE THE TRIBUNE "reaches its many readers again, it will be "Merry Christmas," and it takes time by the forelock by bidding all of its readers the compliments of the season. LAST Tuesday night a drunken white man entered the house of a colored woman and attempted to assault her. He was arrested and fined twenty-five dollars. If the case was only reversed, the report would have been otherwise. In this wise let us be selfish and aid missionaries to better the condition of the ignorant ones in our rural districts rather than bending all our energies in far away countries. Help those around us first and then we will be better able to send the gospel and educate those in foreign climes. Some of our people are complaining that the President said nothing in his message about their welfare. They should know that we are all Americans, and citizens of this great country and should not be made a "speciality." In all that effects the country we are against anything that is on the class line. Our white neighbors have several organizations for the amelioration of the poor of their race. We are not as rich in this world's goods as they are yet we should do a little on this line to assist the unfortunate ones among us, especially at this season of the year, when there is so much suffering from cold. THE Richmond Planet is of the opinion that God holds a colored man accountable for surrendering to a gang of lynchers when his poor soul is ushered up to the bar of judgment and so believing recommends that the colored man in question should shoot and kill at least one member of the mob so that he may have a witness at the celestial trial. —Dallas Express. THE colored citizens of Savannah, all of those who are truly identified with the best interest of the city, are in favor of the Charity Hospital and its present management. They look upon it as a great need and should be helped by the city. This class of the better element of the colored citizens strongly protest against the nefarious actions of a few malcontents and their misguided followers. THERE are certain Negroes in our midst who can not succeed in anything for the betterment of the people, yet are malignant enough to attempt to thwart the efforts of others. Such littleness in these Negroes who should know better will only act as a boomerang. Their niggardly motives are easily discerned and every-thoughtful person of all races will only treat them with that contempt that they truly deserve. DURING the session of the legislature just closed, several bills were introduced aming especially at the well being of the Negro. Prominently among these bills were the Bell bill to divide the school fund; to permit legislation for the use of the whipping post; the separate street car bill; the disfranchising bill, etc. Each one of these bills met defeat. Amid the attempt made by certain members of the legislature to enact laws so detrimentally to the Negro, there was an oasis of feeling among the other members which was demonstrated in the bill that has so honored Col. John H. Deveaux of this city, and adding much to the privileges of the Negro military officers of the state. The passing of a bill giving a special title or rank to a colored man, is unprecedented and for it to be done by the Georgia legislature, shows that the honor is well merited. Senator Cann, Representative Hitch and the others from this county sided the passage of this bill, and for this they will be kindly remembered. The Savannah Morning News says this about the bill: "The session of the Georgia Legislature which ended on Friday was one of remarkable interest to the colored military and the people of Georgia. It ended with a great compliment to Major John H. Deveaux, the commander of the Georgia State Troops, colored, by promoting, or rather restoring, him to the rank of lieutenant-colonel, commanding the colored first time in the history of the state that such an act has been passed by the Legislature, and shows the high esteem in which Col. Deveaux is held by those in authority in the state. 1" The First Battalion which he commands was organized ever twenty-three years ago. This has been in active service ever since. Under his command there has been great improvement in the efficiency of the companies, and the discipline of the men. The military authorities recognizing Colonel Deveaux's ability in maintaining the efficiency and discipline of his battalion, at the reorganization of the State Troops, all of which are all of the colored companies in the state including the Georgia Artillery. "The bill, as passed by the Legislature, also provided for the establishment of a roll of retired officers for the colored militia, and the establishment of a tendency to increase the efficiency of the officers and stimulate their efforts to make safe and reliable men at all times." FREQUENT charges have been made to the effect that the Negroes generally protect the criminals among them and will do nothing to have them apprehended by officers. This charge is false on its face and is not necessary to be refuted for facts are constantly being presented to the contrary. Nearly all of the offenses that are committed in this county by any colored person, are detected by one of them and the first thing done is to report it to some officer. The whereabouts of all noted criminals are generally disclosed and they apprehended through the agency of some colored persons, notably the "pimps" for these officers, and these officers always get the praise for the work. In the rural districts, if there is any protection given those who are accused of crimes, it is not because of the desire to shield the crime or the person, but of the apprehension of the summary and oftimes illegal manner in which the accused are dealt. The Negro is a law abiding citizen, the most docile of the many that make up this great country, and should not be thus branded. THE Chicago Conservator aptly says: "The Negro man is much more opposed to intermarriage or amalgamation with the white people than the white man is to mixing with the colored people, and the question in no way interests him only as the white man thrusts it upon his attention. He has the advantage of staying in his own race, in the selection of a companion, and at the same time getting any color he wants from a lily white to a raven black woman. "Why, then, should he want to cross the lines as long as the white man's devilment supplies him - with so many colors to select from in his own race? But even with the colored man on the one side and the white woman on the other opposing with all their heart amalgamation, the white men and colored women who keep it up, and all history and common sense plainly tell us that the dreaded "social equality" will certainly come." THE illustrated lecture of Rev. Bouey on Liberia and south Africa has given a new and a more exalted idea of that distant clime. He shows the great possibility in the development of Liberia, the marked success that men attained who were studious in their habits and went there to succeed, and the opening that there is for men of brain money, and push. The portrayal of the treatment accorded the natives by the hypocritical Boers, who like the Pharisees are believers in the bible, yet keep their fellow men in bondage of the most degraded kind, has caused a feeling of resentment to overcome every one who believes in the freedom of all mankind. The prayers of every Negro person in the universe should be for the defeat of the Boers by the English. By England securing control of that country, slavery would be abolished and the natives greatly benefited. HIGHER education and industrial training should go hand in hand. It is not generally known that President Schwarb of the National Steel Trust has as his private secretary, Mr. Joseph L. Ray, who is a colored man of much ability. Mr. Ray has recently designed the private car now being built for Mr. Schwarb. Mr. Ray entered the employment of the Carnegie company as an office boy and succeeded to his present confidential position. This shows what any boy is capable of if he only labors persistently and become interested in the work of those by whom he is employed. Much ado has been made of the alleged refusal of the Springfield, Massachusetts, hotel proprietors to entertain Prof. Booker T. Washington, recently. Mr. Washington has stated that he was not refused accommodation on account of his race, but it was caused by the crowded condition of the hotels at that time. The proprietors of each of these hotels on account of this, offered to dine Prof. Washington if he could secure lodging elsewhere. This does not show that there was an attempt to discriminate as all of the southern dales have reported. THE TRIBUNE can not boast of any surplus cash, in fact the figures are always on the other side of the line, yet it is mindful of the needs of the unfortunate ones in our midst and will gladly head a. list with a fair donation to supply fuel to a few of the more deserving ones. This should be considered by the more fortunate ones among us who should give freely to assist their less fortunate fellows. If any of our readers know of five real destitute persons and would send us their names and addresses, we will see that each will be supplied with a small amount of fuel. THE TRIBUNE has repeatedly protested against the barbarous manner in which the birthday of the "Meek and Lowly One" is generally celebrated in this section. Some men, women and children feel themselves freely licensed to act in every possible way that would cause the more decent ones to blush and make those who are true Christians to bow their head in shame. If our churches would make a crusade for reformation on this line possibly more good would be effected. Christmas is not a day to be celebrated by whiskey drinking and a general carousing. While all of us should be of good cheer and endeavor to make each other happy, yet it should be done in a manner that will reflect much credit, and leave a favorable impression on the children. Necessity of Race Progress Savannah Ga. Dec. 5, 1901. To the Editor of the News. After several years of pen wrestling with almost every phase affecting the welfare of my people, I find myself yet in thought concerning the vexed problem as to how we can financially better our condition without impairing our already manifest achievement. But had hoped the subject would have dismissed itself as a mere cent article on co-operation containing this sentence, "Action speaks louder than words," intending to act a little more and say less myself. It has been aptly said that the most galling condition that confronts us is the disadvantages some have in the way of employment suitable to their station and learning, and with this question, Have you grievance of the race at heart? Will you to do so the object of and advantage to be derived from co-operation. We should not budge a hair's breadth, however from those civil and political rights guaranteed to us by the Federal Constitution, but our ultimate success will depend in the main on how far and how completeney we can co-operate along business lines; and in those strenuous efforts to produce something the white man does not forget to produce something the black man does not forget to operate is an important feature in the spirit of the age. Among the moneyed classes its practice grows and thrives with remarkable rapidity. Syndicates and companies seem likely, in view of the immense amount of capital they command to absorb the business of the world, if they do not come to rule it. There really does appear to be any limit to their earnings and their operation is a just arrangement whereby they be bounding their money together, overshadowing outdo their fellow tradesman in the same line of things, and for these reasons are likely to command attention from wage earners as the most profitable investment to be had. Firstly, the most potent and practical principle underlying this new fashioned now among colored people) and gives to its shareholders and others its own minimum prices. Thirdly, it is a complete system of training in itself and fits the young to acquire him or herself capable in the commercial world. The scheme promises any number of variations, and, properly worked, cannot fail, having in it the advantages flowing from the combination of capital and the still greater and more efficient element of mutual interest in labor. Co-operation is founded, on the spirit of justice. Those who do the work get the gain. For instance, if 50 men having $5,000 each put it all into one pot, and by its means drive a powerful business along, why not 50 men able to scrape together $50, each put it into one pot and then, by the addition of their combined labor, make a large business pay, dividing the profits among themselves. Does it not seem plausible? It might be said in reply, that it is one great opponent of cooperation, that this is one great and needed in the wages pay. Quite true, in some instances; but what is sought here much as anything else is a connection or mutual action among one another. Co-operation along business lines supplies this connection as nothing else will. Again, co-operation has in it the spirit of encouragement. We all know the difference in the results that come out what is called day work and piece work. When a worker knows that his wages are going to be a fixed quantity, regardless of the strength and ability he may put in his toil, he will be more than apt to take easy salary; whereas if the returns are to be the extent of his work, the effect will be the salutary, if not absolutely satisfactory. If the wage earner-stockholder a chance to share in the handsome profits that naturally accrue to combined wealth, Mr. Mc Kinley said in his Buffalo speech that the period of exclusiveness is past. That, taken for granted, should sharpen the Negro's appetite for success commensurate with the nation's progress, he being a "man of the people." As the nation rises in the financial and dictatorial sphere among the world powers, so must the Negro. If he hopes to share in the governmental equipeo. This is no time for quibbling. If we cannot co-operate among ourselves, we must cooperate with others to operate with us, and that is all there is about it. John W. Armstrong—In the New York Metropolitan News. MASONIC COLUMN. Next Friday will be St. John's Day. All of the lodges in Savannah are on a boom. Down with "York Rite" Masonry, that is duping so many good men. Grand Master Butler is hard at work for the upbuilding of the craft. work for the upbuilding of the craft. The Grand Patron is organizing an Eastern Star Chapter at Pidoock to-day. Atlanta Star Lodge No. $116^{2}$: Sam Williams W. M; C. T. Threats S. W; Thomas Willis, J. W; Rev. G. B. Wilson, Secretary. Lodges must not forget the assessment for the home. Let everybody be loyal and send in the amount without further delay. Every Mason in the Jurisdiction should commence with the year by doing everything possible for the advancement of the order on all lines for good. The battle of ballots is being waged in all of the lodges. Elect good officers and don't fail to send the names to the Grand Master and Grand Secretary. The sad intelligence has reached us of the death of Past Master D. Z. Snell, of Mt. Tabor Lodge, Valdosta, which occurred on Friday night of last week. Bro. Snell was an exemplary Mason and well liked by his brethren. Western Star Lodge elected the following officers: G H Best', WM; Brantley Spencer, S W; J L Bellinger, J W; E S Williams, Secretary; Henry Ponder, Treasurer; Bros.

M. Thornton Marshal. No Worshipful master in the state has been honored more and held that honored position longer than has Bro. J. R. Paulk of Midway Lodge at Holt. He has been re-elected for the ninth term. Bro. Paulk must surely have been giving the brethren good service for they will not let him go. Bro. Fred McQueen was elected secretary. The annual meeting of Eureka Lodge No. 1, was held on Wednesday night. A large number of the brethren were out and listened to a glowing report of the year's work. The lodge has a good bank account after paying out a large amount for charity and other expenses during the year.

Landmark Lodge No. 64, at Dublin, one our staunchest lodges with one of the best Worshipful Masters in the Jurisdiction, had a big time at its meeting last week. The lodge had worked in all of the degrees and some good timber were added to the building. Past Master A. T. Speight, one of the best masons in the state was present and gave the brethren a good lecture and complimented Worshipful Master J. J. Jenkins on his great success in managing his lodge and in keeping peace and harmony within its ranks. Bro. Jenkins was re-elected unanimously and is determined to make a glowing report at the next Grand communication. Past Master B. R. Harrell was a guest of Bro. Jenkins and he says that Landmark has an excellent set of brethren. We can add to the compli id to Bro. Jenkins for we a und him to be a mason true d. Rev. A.

We hope for her a nice time and a safe return to the Land of Flowers. Mr. William Taylor was here on Sunday looking fine. 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. When in need of such b sure you pay them a visit and you will be pleased with the good treatment and low prices. Mr. W. J. Pridgen made a flying trip to Jacksonville on business. Mrs. Georgia Littles left for her home near Macon Ga. whore she will spend the holidays. We are glad to announce that little Amanda who was very, sick is now much better and hope she will continue to improve. Little Bessie Dudley is on the sick list. Mr. W. J. Pridgen and company is opening a new Turpentine firm at Madila Fla. This company is made up of industrious business men. If our colored men would come together and form co-partnership and engage in business so as to give employment to company laying an employment they would find that they had made a step in the right direction. It is time we were showing our ability to transact business so let us make a start. I hope to be able to announce the establishment of some profitable business by men of our race before Jan. 1st. Z. R. F St. Philips Church Dots. Rev. John A. O apps preached at St. Philips on Sunday at 11 a.m. He is an old member of St. Philips and always has charge when the regular pastor is away or absent. His discourse was very good. The students of the Haven Home attended the 11 o'clock service on last Sunday. The appearance of the scholars speaks well for the faculty of the school. Rev. C. J. Calchaugh of the C. M. E. Conference, and presiding elder at Cordele, preached on Sunday night, and he delivered a fine sermon and was listened to very attentively. After his sermon he congratulated St. Phillips and praised their work and complimented the church on having such a great pastor in the person of Rev. Cargile, D. D. From the size of the congregation on last Sunday morning it is supposed that the members were attending the annual conference at Brunswick, Ga. We congratulate Bro L. M. Fisher as the successful contestant for the fine over coat at the K. of P. Fair at the Harris street hall last week. The five nights entertainment given in the Ladies Exchange was in full blast this week. We hope that grand corps of Sunday School teachers and the superintendent made a success. This entertainment was given to raise some money to furnish the children with a Christmas festival and a present for each child. The members of St. Philips were glad to see Bro. A. H. Hamilton out on Sunday at church and hope that his recovery will be rapid. There are a few more books left for the bicycle contest, and if there is any young ladies that want to enter the contest apply to Mr. M. C. Rogers or Mr. Jacob Monroe the general chairman and secretay of St. Philips bazaar. The bicycle will be awarded to the most popular lady or the lady raising the most money. Chairman Rogers says you must reserve your small change for St Philips bazaar at Harris street hall from January 6th, to 16th, 1902. The fair committee saves they want every military company, every lodge, every club and female society to not fail to attend and take supper. The pastor and members of St. Philips wish all of their friends a Merry Christmas and hope that they will live to see a good many more. Rev. Cargile returned from the annual conference on Tuesday and reports every thing in good shape, and St. Philips led in all of the church reports. We expected that for St. Philips has always kept the lead and will keep it as long as she has a progressive congregation. H. W. BOWENS.

Conference which convened in this city last week, was largely attended and the best ever held by the connection. The reports from the various departments were of a gratifying kind. The Conference was very much impressed with Savannah, it being the place from which Methodism sprung. It seems to be the purpose of the Conference to make this the rallying point and if the plans now on foot materialize, a handsome memorial church will be erected here. Option is had on a lot in a very desirable part of the city, if successful it is proposed to remove St. Paul church to that site. At the Friday session it was held at the College and the delegates were royally entertained by President Wright. At night Bishop Holsey lectured at Ford's Opera House. The bishop has returned Rev. C. L. Bonner to St. Paul. Rev. Bonner is one of the strongest men in the connection and is destined to be one of the leaders in the Church. Rev. W. A. Dinkins who was presiding elder of this district, was transferred to the Fort Valley district, one of the best districts in the connection. He was succeeded by Rev. R. D.

The conference was presided over by that grand and magnificent man of God, Bishop David A. Goodsell of Brooklyn N. Y. Bishop Goodsell was much impressed by the showing made. On Thursday evening the conference was addressed by Miss Anna A. Hall of Atlanta who had just returned from the deaconess school at Boston, Miss Hall made a good impression and outlined what a great good could be accomplished by deaconess work among our people in the cities Miss Hall is doing great work in connection with Lloyd street church in Atlanta.

Wragg of the American Bible Society, Dr. Heard of the Church Extension Society, Dr. Jacobs of the Sunday School Union and Tract Society The Epworth League work of the Conference was represented by Mr. L S. Reed, who was again re-elected president of the Conference League. The Bishop appointed Rev. James Jackson, ex-presiding elder of the LaGrange district, as pastor of Asbury church. Rev. Jackson is reported to be a man of ability and we bespeak for him much success in his new field. Rev. Crollly who has for the past three years served as pastor of that church will go to the church at LaGrange. The good people of Culloden deserve much credit for the able manner in which they cared for the Conference. Fine Funeral Carriage. Maj. Wm. H. Royall, the well-known and popular undertaker, has been receiving the congratulation of his numerous friends on the arrival of his handsome funeral car. The car is the finest of any in the city and there are but few in the country that equal it. It is completed with all modern improvements. The car was built especially for Maj. Royall. He ordered it while in Baltimore last summer and had it arranged according to his own ideas, and the factory turned it out just as wanted, using only the best of wood, with costly carving, finely finished, neatly trimmings and the best plate glass. The major is the oldest undertaker in the city and his experience on this line is great. He has a large number of loyal friends who are proud of his business enterprise and wish him much success.

Shepherd, who died at Tuskegee College one year to-day—December 24th., 1900. I am all alone in my chamber now, And midnight hour is near, And the fagot's crack and the clock's dull ticks. Are the only sounds I hear, When the telegram brings the message, that my little George had died. In silence hour with grief and pain, The tears rolled down my cheeks, When the telegram wired the message My little George had died. "O death! thou loves the beautiful," In the woe of my spirit I cried; For sparkled the eyes, and forehead was bright. Of my little George that died. I shall miss him when the snow drops fall, And when the school bells sound, And he will say to me, "mamma, It's time for me to go." It is hard to believe that we, Shall no more hear the glad voice, Or meet his merry laughs that comes, So often from his glad lips; And one of my joys of heaven shall be, My little George that died. And therefore when I am sitting alone, And the mid night hour is near, Though my heart and my eyes are filled with tears, For my little George that died. His dean mother Mrs. Josephine Shenherd, Boston, Mass St. Luke Lodge at Camilla reports that it has forwarded its assessment for the home.

RING UP The Forest City Laundry AND HAVE YOUR Linens Laundried To your satisfaction. 206-210 Park Avenue, East. C. H. SHEFTALL, Prop. The less luck a man has the more he despises it. Some smiles look as though they had been soaked in vinegar. The girl who is never seen to blush may have been born to blush unseen. Marriage is the greatest lottery of life—and lotteries are illegal. Slight no man because of his poverty and esteem no man because of his wealth. Sometimes a man is judged by his appearance and sometimes by his disappearance. Respectability may be contagious but folks can't always catch it when they want it. A widow is always trying to make a man believe she thought he was going to kiss her. An old bachelor says there is nothing at all remarkable about the fact that only the female mosquitoes annoy us. Bonnets are now made to match gowns, but, strange to say, no one thinks of trying to make them match purses. If a married woman knows which side of her biscuit the jam is on, she will never repeat the fool things her husband sald during their courtship. Pensioning Presidents' Widows. The precedent of pensioning the wives of presidents was set when Mrs. Lincoln was given a pension. Mrs. Tyler, who was living at that time, was also granted a pension. She was poor and needed help, but Mrs. Lincoln and all the other presidents' wives that have been given pensions have been well-to-do, if not all rich. A bill is now before congress providing a pension of $10,000 a year to Mrs. McKinley. Life is Growing Longer. From statistics and certain changes in our methode of living, it has been proven that life is being steadily lengthened. We are justified in believing this when we consider the great advance made in medicine during the past fifty years, the most noteworthy of them being Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. This ideal medicine cures headache, sour stomach, holching, heartburn and indigestion, also steadies the nerves, induces sound sleep and prevents malaria, fever and ague. Be sure to try it. A woman's face may be her fortune, but a man sometimes relies solely upon his cheek. Tetterline in Texas. "I enclose 50c. in stamps.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive, cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the strength to build up the attition and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its enricative powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials. Address F J.

Long Hair "About a year ago my hair was coming out very fast, so I bought a bottle of Ayer's Hair Vigor. It stopped the falling and made my hair grow very rapidly, until now it is 45 inches in length."—Mrs. A. Boydston, Atchison, Kans. There's another hunger than that of the stomach. Hair hunger, for instance. Hungry hair needs food, needs hair vigor—Ayer's. This is why we say that Ayer's Hair Vigor always restores color, and makes the hair grow long and heavy. $1.99 a bottle.

Whether the teachers now on their way to the Philippines will be able to impart much English to the tribal populations there, let alone to revolutionize the daily speech of the people, is a question which brings widely divergent views. In our opinion they will not. Nothing clings to a race more tenaciously than its native language unless it be its native color. After eighty years of effort to spread the English language in this group the home tongue of the full-blooded Hawaiian in his aboriginal jargon. The writer asked a veteran schoolmaster the other day, a man who had been inspector general of schools, if he knew of a single Hawaiian family, exclusive of the half-white, that talked English at home. He said he knew of one only, a family living in Lahaina. All the rest are as true to their inherited tongue as they are to their racial hue. For about a hundred years the creoles of Louisiana have been subject to American influences, yet the ratio of those who talk English at all is disappointing. French is their habitual language at home and their customary language abroad. The French-Canadian wants to remain French, and usually succeeds. He speaks the Gallic tongue in the privacy of his domicile, he keeps books, preaches, traffics and swears in French. Yet he has been under the English flag and English laws for more than a century and a half. The Spanish tongue has shown great staying powers in New Mexico, and is yet the dominating language in the plateau sections of the territory. After fifty-one years of territorial organization, with English-speaking common schools and courts, New Mexico is only able to report a slight leavening of the Spanish speech among the people of Latin blood who live in the lowland country, where the chances of coming in contact with Americans have been moderately improved. So far as the Philippines are concerned we should say that at least 100 years of assiduous work would be required before any marked impression could be made on the language of the masses; and even then the wedge of English speech might be driven but little further than has been the case in the creole district of Louisiana.—London Advertiser. Criminal Insane May Be Made to Work A solution of the problem which the state sanitarium, in its present overcrowded condition presents, is suggested by Senator John T. Allen of the Twentieth Senatorial District, in which the-asylum is located, and he will introduce during the present session of the Legislature a bill seeking to embody his idea into law. Senator Allen's suggestion is, simply stated, that the criminally insane should be sent to the prison farm, and there made to work like other convicts. In the report which the Trustees of the asylum have just issued, complaint is, made that the criminally insane class has increased in a startling ratio recently, and that they, the Trustees, are compelled to keep these with the other insane. Senator Allen believes that not only will his plan of removing this class to the prison farm relieve the perplexing condition which now obtains at the asylum, but will operate to decrease the number of pleas of insanity now entered in the courts. Oldest Observatory in Europe. It seems possible that the Vatican may claim to have possessed the first European observatory, says the British Journal of Photography. In 1582 a tower was built at the Vatican for observing the heavens, and, according to Crescenzi, who wrote an important work on astronomy, Pope Gregory XIII, was the person to whom is due the credit of having built it. Probably the work was undertaken in connection with the reform of the calendar. This fact is but little know, and 1588 is usually supposed to be the date of the founding of the observatory. It is said that a short time ago "a rich American offered to present the Vatican with a giant telescope," and that the instrument will be even larger than that shown at the Paris Exhibition. The Solent Tunnel. It is anticipated that when the Solent tunnel, connecting the mainland of the south coast of England with the Isle of Wight, is completed it will have a great influence upon the transatlantic shipping traffic, says The Scientific American. A pler is to be built at Yarmouth, near which the tunnel will emerge on the island, and the North German steamers will be able to discharge their malls, passengers and cargo at this point, instead of proceeding up to Southampton. Owing to the great care that has to be exercised in traveling up this waterway to the port and thence down Spithead a considerable amount of time is wasted. By stopping at Yarmouth a great economy in this direction will be effected. Work of the Heart. Under ordinary conditions the whole amount of blood in the body passes through the heart in thirty-two beats. In a man of 170 pounds there are about thirteen pounds of blood, which passes through his heart two and three-quarter times a minute. Estimating the flow at thirty pounds to the minute, we have 1800 pounds in hour and 43-200 pounds a day passing through this human pump. Expressed in mechanical energy, the work done in a day is equivalent to 540,000 foot pounds. Just about as much work as should be done by President Roosevelt making an ascent of Mount Marcy. It takes a good deal of faith to swallow these figures. Yours for Health Lydia E. Pinkham How Truly the Great Fame of Lydia E. Pink- ham's Vegetable Com- pound Justifies Her Origi- nal Signature.
