SOLONS IN-WRANGLE
Philippine Affairs Causes Pyrotechnic Debate In Senate.
MUD SLINGING WAS IN ORDER
Bitter and Sarcastic Words Are Spoken—Tillman's Pitchfork Is Brought Into Play Against
A Washington special says: A Philippine storm was central in the scate chamber Tuesday for nearly three hours, but was void of definite results. At times it looked very serious and the spectators who thronged the galleries watched it with breathless interest.
Acrimony in senate debates is not infrequent, but old senators say it has been years since there has been such a hurricane of bitter vituperation, of personal taunt, of ugly charges and of unmodified criticism as was witnessed during Tuesday's session. Not since the discussion of the resolutions leading up to the Hispano-American war have any scenes occurred in the senate chamber to this occasion. Irritation was aroused on both sides of the chamber and once or twice personal encounters between senators seemed imminent.
Once when Senator Teller taunted the republican senators by declaring they knew the statements made in a recent dispatch from Manila in which General Wheaton was represented as criticising the opponents of the government's policy in the Philippines were true a half dozen republicans were on their feet in an instant. Senator Lodge, at whom the taunt seemed to be aimed particularly, hurriedly crossed from his seat in the center of the republican side to the main aisle of the senate and, white to the lips, passionately challenged the statement of the Colorado senator and demanded that he withdraw it. Senator Teller so modified the statement that further hostilities at that time were averted.
One of the sharpest colloquies of the session was between Senators Spooner, of Wisconsin, and Tillman, of South Carolina. The race problem, involving the lynching of negroes, was interjected into the controversy, and much feeling was manifested by both senators. In the course of the colloquy Mr. Spooner declared that if the same rule was to be applied to the colored people in the Philippines as Mr. Teller referred to in the south, "then God help the colored man in the Philippines."
"God help him in the Philippines," shouted the South Carolina senator passionately. "You have already butchered in three years three times as many as the Spaniards did in three centuries."
"It is one thing," retorted Mr. Spooner, "to kill men with arms in their hands against the government and against the flag. It is another to burn them."
"You burned them in Kansas," retorted Mr. Tillman.
Senators in their excitement seemed for the moment to have forgotten the subject of the debate. The chair (Mr. Frye) was able with difficulty to maintain order. When the discussion was finally ended for the day, the chair felt called on seriously to admonish senators that the rules of the body had not been observed, and after reading the rule which had been violated he-expressed the hope that in the future senators would have a care to observe it. Such an admonition has not been made by the presiding officer in the senate in many years.
Prior to the outbreak on the Philippine question, the senate concluded the consideration of the bill establishing a department of commerce and passed it.
Roosevelt Congratulated Kaiser.
President Roosevelt, it is learned, sent a cablegram of congratulation to Emperor William, of Germany, on his birthday, but its text is not made public.

The
PROGRESS OF THE SOUTH.
Largely Increased Number of New In Dustries Reported In the South During the Past Week.
Especial attention is called to the largely increased number of new industries during the past week in the south, being marked in the building of flouring mills, electric light and woodworking plants and the development of oil and gas fields and coal mining properties. The organization of so many new industries is practical evidence of the present prosperous condition of affairs in the south, and is a matter deserving especial and widespread notice.

SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 1, 1902.
HAVOC OF DYNAMITE
Tremendous Explosion In Tunnel Shaft In New-York.
SIX DEAD ; HUNDRED INJURED
Huge Buildings In Neighborhood Dismantled By Force of Concussion. Debris Hurled In Every Direction.
A New York special says: The reserve supply of high explosives stored at the Park avenue shaft of the Rapid Transit tunnel, now in course of construction, blew up shortly after noon Monday. The giant blast killed six persons, injured a hundred others and seriously damaged all the property reached by the flying debris and the vibration of the shock.
The irregular square formed by the Murray Hill hotel on the west, the Manhattan Eye and Ear hospital and the Grand Union hotel on the east and the Grand Central railroad station on the north was the scene of the explosion. The buildings named sustained the greatest damage, but the area affected extended for three blocks in four directions from the center.
The list of injured is an exceedingly long one, but most of those in it have only cuts caused by flying glass.
The sunken approach to the street railway tunnel used by the Madison avenue line, cuts through Park avenue, and the shaft for the Rapid Transit subway was run down beside it at the intersection of East Fortieth street. The street railway approach was covered by a superstructure used for the operating plant of the rapid transit contractors. Temporary buildings for storage purposes were thrown up against the superstructure at the mouth of the shaft and there the explosion occurred. It tore a great gorge in the street, demolished the temporary buildings and part of the superstructure and sent a mass of earth, splintered timber and twisted iron high in the air. Much of it went battering against the front of the Murray Hill hotel, and, although the walls and main structure of that building stood the shock, nearly every room in the front of the house was wrecked.
The Manhattan Eye and Ear hospital, on the east side of the avenue, fared nearly as bad and had to be abandoned by the management. The Grand Union hotel lost all of its windows and glass partitions and practically every front window in the Grand Central station was shattered. The great clocks on its front towers were blown from their cases. Thousands of windows, some of them seven blocks from the tunnel shaft, fell in fragments. It was the shower of broken glass and falling debris that injured the greatest number. Fortunately the explosion occurred at the noon hour. Not more than a hundred persons were in the main waiting room of the Grand Central station, which presented somewhat the appearance of a dismantled castle, the big windows being only ragged holes.
General alarms brought firemen, police, reserves and every available ambulance to the scene and the injured were speedily cared for. A majority of the injured were treated on the spot and the ambulance surgeons worked for an hour in the debris strewn streets.
The cause of the explosion and the quantity of explosives that blew up are not definitely known.
The damage may exceed $1,000,000. The first estimate on the Murray Hill hotel placed the loss at $100,000, but later the hotel was abandoned as unsafe. If the building is condemned, the loss of it alone will approach $1,000,000. The damage to the Grand Union was estimated at $40,000, and that to the Manhattan hospital at $25,000. The loss at the Grand Central station was entirely in glass, as was that of the one hundred or more buildings affected by the explosion. No estimate was made of the losses sustained by the Rapid Transit contractors.
Governor Candler Would Be Pleased to Have Prince Visit Georgia.
Governor Candler, of Georgia, sent the following telegram to the secretary of state at Washington Monday night:
January 27, 1902—To Secretary of State, Washington, D. C.—If Prince Henry accepts the invitation of the city of Atlanta to visit us, he will receive a hearty welcome from the people of Georgia, among the best of whom are some of our German citizens.
BOUND BY THE OLD PLATFORM.
House Democrats Are Without Power to Frame Any New Declaration of Policy.
A Washington special says: The democratic members of the house of representatives met in caucus in the hall of the house at 8 o'clock Friday evening and after a short but spirited contest adopted resolutions declaring that they were without power to promulgate a platform heretofore regularly made at a national convention.
The contest occurred over a resolution proposed by Representative Henry, of Texas, more specifically declaring it to be the duty of every democratic representative to adhere to the national democratic platform until another democratic convention adopts a new platform.
The caucus was the outgrowth of animated discussion among democratic members ever since the present session of congress began, the chief issue being as to the extent to which the Kansas City platform should be superseded by a new declaration of policy. The plan of an entirely new declaration took form early in the session in resolutions by Representative McClellan, of New York, setting forth numerous planks, but omitting the financial declarations of the Kansas City platform.
Mr. Fitzgerald, of New York, also proposed a resolution declaring against any interference with the existing standard of values. On the other hand, Representative Ball, of Texas, proposed a specific reaffirmation of the Kaans City platform. These and several other resolutions of policy were referred to a special committee of twelve leading democratic members, headed by Representative Richardson, of Tennessee, the democratic floor leader. It was to receive the report of this committee that the caucus of Friday night was held.
The interest taken was shown in the large attendance, 139 democrats out of the total of 153 being present. Representative Hay, of Virginia, occupied the chair and by his rulings endeavored to allay the friction which has occurred at times during the discussions. Mr. Richardson presented the majority report, concurred in by all the members of the special committee except Mr. Henry. It recited the work of the committee and closed with the following recommendation:
"We are of opinion that, as the representatives of our various constituencies, and as members of the caucus made up of such representatives, we have no power or authority to construct, or promulgate a platform of principle for our party; that we cannot increase or minimize the binding effect of platforms of the party heretofore regularly made and adopted by the people in convention assembled for that purpose.
"That in the house of which we are members we should vigorously and aggressively battle for democratic principles and with equal vigor and aggressiveness we should oppose everything contrary, in substance or methods, to those principles, and should meet each question as if arises with full confidence and a solid and undivided front."
The minority report of Mr. Henry, of Texas, proposed the following declaration in place of the McClellan and Fitzgerald resolutions heretofore referred to:
"It is not within the province of a democratic caucus to promulgate or reverse a democratic platform, but it is the duty of every democratic representative to adhere to the national democratic platform until the succeeding convention adopts another platform."
Mr. Henry also proposed that the caucus action should govern every representative when the same accorded with the declarations of the last national platform.
The vote was taken first on Mr. Henry's minority propositions and they were defeated by a vote of 17 to 92.
The majority declaration was then adopted without dissent.
CHURCHES OBSERVE DAY.
Collections For McKinley Memorial Fund Universal and Satisfactory. Reports to the secretary's office of the McKinley National Memorial Association, at Cleveland, O., indicate the almost universal observance of McKinley Sunday in the 188,000 churches in the country, and that the contributions were highly gratifying. "McKinley Day" on Wednesday is expected to swell the contributions to such an extent that the national memorial at Canton will be practically completed.
BOLD TRAIN HOLD=UP
Seven Men, Unmasked, Get In Work on Southern.
Engineer Forced to Run Cars to Lonely Spot Where Wagon Was
A carefully planned and audacious express robbery took place about 7 o'clock on the Southern railway Monday evening when the passenger train from Charleston reached nearly the exact site of the successful robbery of two years ago, near Fifty-Eight station, five miles from Branchville, S. C.
Seven men, or probably eight, were riding on the platform between the engine and baggage car, concealed by the darkness. None were masked. At the 55-mile board two men crawled over the tender and covered the engineer, John Reynolds, with winchesters. They fired two shots, one ball passing through Reynolds' cap'. Fireman Cobb escaped by jumping off Conductor Black, who ran out, was also covered and ordered back.
By order of these men a brakeman uncoupled the express, mail and baggage cars, which were taken to Fifty-Eight station, leaving the rest of the train on the main line.
Loaded Safe on Wagon.
Here several shots were fired into the express car and one man, climbing up, covered Express Messenger Hall with a winchester, compelling him to open the door. Three men entered the car and stripped the through safe. After threatening Hall with instant death if he did not open the through safe, and finding he knew nothing of the combination, the safe was rolled out on the platform and placed on a two-horse wagon, which was driven away. Then the engineer was ordered to return to the rest of the train, and he obeyed, bringing the train, with no further incidents, to Branchville. Nothing was seen of the men or the safe on passing Fifty-Eight.
There was only a small amount of booty in the local safe, and no one, other than officials of the road, know the contents of the through safe. No mall or baggage was touched and no passengers were moleshed. The robbers took the pistols from only employees who were armed, and resistance was out of the question.
Leader May Be Warren.
The leader is supposed to be the notorious Barton Warren. Warren was arrested charged with having robbed the Southern express car just below Branchville in the fall of 1899. He was tried in 1901, and owing to popular, feeling in his favor and his able counsel, the case resulted in a mistrial. His ball was furnished, but there came a revulsion in popular feeling and, fearing conviction, a few days before the next session of the court—five months ago—he brutally murdered Thomas Watson, his former friend, but one of the principal witnesses against him.
Warren has since been at large and some say that he has been seen in Branchville at night several times since, though $800 reward had been offered for his capture. Since the murder it is said there has been another attempt before the daring performance of Monday afternoon to rob the express train between Branchville and Orangeburg, and this, too, has been attributed to Warren.
Bloodbounds Wanted.
A telegram was sent to Columbia asking for bloodhounds to pursue the robbers. The post office at Walterboro, twenty miles from Branchville, was blown up with dynamite during Sunday night and robbed of several hundred dollars. It is believed the same robbers help up the train.
Jacksonville Building Bill. The senate Monday passed a bill providing for the improvement, repair and addition to the public building at Jacksonville, Fla.
Buildings Swayed by Earthquake and People. Free in Terror.
Two distinct shocks of earthquake were felt in St. Louis and in many of the adjoining towns, a few minutes before 5 o'clock Friday morning. The shock was light. The second was more severe. Persons, who had slept through the first shock were awakened by the second.
Reports received show that the shocks were very generally felt throughout the city and suburbs, being of sufficient force to rattle the corkery and swing pictures in residences.

When Found the Unfortunate Men Were Delirious and Almost Dead From Starvation.
According to a Manila special Captain. Porter's marines, who became lost while on an expedition in the island of Samar, and were thought to have been murdered by the rebels, have been rescued by a relief expedition in the face of torrential rain storms which flooded the rivers.
The condition of the men is much worse than previously described. They suffered fearful hardships and were without food for several days.
The natives who accompanied the marines claimed they were unable to distinguish the edible roots, which the marines did not believe. The anger of the marines against the natives is intense. None of the latter returned with the marines.
The marines suffered so acutely from starvation that they ate the raw flesh of two dogs.
When Captain Porter and the first three of his men staggered into camp they were delirious and difficulty was experienced in ascertaining the whereabouts of their companions.
The relief party succeeded in reaching the remaining men, who would otherwise certainly have perished. All of them were delirious. Two of the men were discovered in the branches of trees barking like dogs. Some of the marines are so ill that they are not likely to recover.
General Chaffee has endeavored to obtain full details of the trip of the marines, but Captain Porter is not yet able to lucidly explain matters.
CHASING TRAIN ROBBERS.
Stolen Express Safe Found Intact in the Edisto River.
A Columbia, S. C., special says: At daylight Tuesday morning Governor McSweeney telegraphed the sheriffs of Dorechester, Orangeburg, Colleton and Charleston counties to organize posses and begin search for the robbers who held up the Charleston-Columbia Southern railway train near Branchville Monday night. At the same time express officials left Columbia with two noted man-running bloodhounds kept at the Orangesburg and Dorchester jails. Sheriff Dukes, of Orangeburg, was on the scene after the robber with a possse and the chase began.
The dogs picked up the trail of the robbers and went off rapidly. Before midday the posse believed they were pressing the outlaws. The dogs came to the Edisto river and it was evident the wagon had been backed up to the bank. Search under the water revealed the safe stolen from the express bar. A rope was attached to it and it had not been opened.
The governor will publish a proclamation offering $400 for the capture of each of the men. The seven men are staying together and struck into the Edisto river swamp. All are armed with winchesters.
Among the passengers on the train held up were several members of the state legislature, who had been home to spend Sunday, Mr. Seabrook, of Charleston, had a considerable sum of money in his pocket, and he took refuge under a seat in the car.
Captain J. W. Hill, of Colleton, a venerable legislator, is the hero of the hold-up. He drew his pocket knife and went out among the robbers, but they drove him back at the point of a winchester. Later Captain Hill went through the car seeking a pistol. The only weapon he could find was a 22-callbre pistol, which he borrowed from a news butcher. With this Captain Hill stood guard at the door.
Military Appropriation, Bill.
The military appropriation, bill has been practically completed, by the house committee on military affairs,
and Chafman Hull will report it as soon as he returns from a trip to Iowa which he is about to take. The bill carries approximately, $91,000,000, which is about $10,000,000 below the estimates and about $26,000,000 below the appropriation last year.
SUSPECTED. THE CHAMBERMAID.
Mrs. Shaw Used Old Shoe to Hide Diamonds and Forgot.
Mrs. Shaw, the wife of former governor Shaw, missed some of her diamonds at Des Moines, In Tuesday. She suspected a chambermaid. The former governor immediately had the chambermaid searched, despite their protests, but no diamonds were found. In the meanwhile Mrs. Shaw recalled that she had hidden the diamonds in one of her old shoes. Former governor Shaw, then apologized to the chambermaid and gave her $10.

SATURDAY FEBRUARY 1, 1902
By the death of Mrs. White, Editor W. J. White of the Georgia Baptist, has the sympathy of the entire press gang and his host of friends.
Our young men should improve all of their opportunities. All of them should read the logical sermon preached by Rev. Dr Post at the Congregational Church on Sunday last which is published in this issue.
The governor has pardoned Simon O'Neal the white man who killed Preston Brooks a colored man, several years ago. O'Neal killed Brooks in a cowardly manner and was given only a short sentence, and now he is pardoned. Such is the trend of affairs.
The afternoon paper published in this city loses not an opportunity to let the public know that it is a Negro hating sheet, yet it receives much of its support from Negro readers. In the collectorship fight it is doing all it can to defeat the appointment of a citizen who was born and always lived in this community and against whose character and ability anght can be said, simply because his complexion is dark. It says that his appointment would effect the business interest of the port. This cannot be borne out, by facts for during the four years of Col. Deveaux's incumbency of the custom house, the reports of the two leading commercial bodies of the city show an increased business over the previous years. Where is the effect? This paper tries to belittle the honor given him by the Georgia legislature conferring the title of lieutenant-colonel for meritorius service to the state and made the misstatement of him being retired from the state service. Col. Deveaux is still in active service.
"A Choice Young Man And a Goodly."
Such, was the text from which Rev. Dr. Martin Post discoursed last Sunday night, at the First Congregational church, Whitfield Square. The audience was large and the young man was there. We give copious extracts from the eloquent sermon:
"For a few moments I wish to direct your attention to our young man and his friends. He has passed out of childhood; crossed out of the years of the 'teens into the twenties. His school days, so far as he had any, are now behind him, and he is out in the wide, wide world.
"Those school days,—all too short have they been, and no one realizes this so much as does the thoughtful young man. But he can carry on his education. With almost any occupation which he takes up there is opportunity for reading and study. Ordinaril; he can out of each twenty four hours, find a few minutes or more for study. As I pass along the streets of this beautiful city, I see young men, who for the time, are unoccupied. Some are hack-drivers in their place waiting for an order, some drive doctor's buggies, some are draymen waiting for a load; others are clerks, porters, waiters, watchmen, but I will not attempt to enumerate the employments; only premising that I am speaking now of those occupations which are not in themselves specially intellectual. There for the time, between jobs, these young men are often to be seen doing nothing, except it be whiffing away the hours in smoking, which is a most deadly way of spending time;—burns up money and burns up vitality, and in some instances, I fear, burns up the conscience and the priceless soul.
"Now don't tell me that our young man to whom I am speaking has no time for study; no time for solid reading. Does he merely want to exist? Or does he want also to live, really live and grow and advance as the days and years advance? To speak the truth, in four-fifths of the instances which I observe he is idling away much of his time and his opportunities. Besides the daily paper and the common news, he should have some line of study. Any line of study followed up will improve the mind. If our young man has caught the better spirit of the age, if he is really up-to-date, he will say, 'No, in the true sense my school days are not ended. I intend to study all my life.' Such a young man when caught with a few moments leisure, such a man while waiting between works, will have a book or a first-class paper or magazine at hand 'to which he will turn.
"Did you ever read the biography of Benjamin Franklin, one of our wisest men; how he at his nooning, (he was a hardworking printer) would get a half hour for reading and study,
how he educated himself, how he made himself a learned man, how he came to stand before kings and advocate his country's rights? Did you ever read of Abraham Liucoln, how he read and studied by the fire light in the old cabin while others slept; how he learned to write and cipher using shingles for his copy book and slate; how if he could find a book anywhere in the settlement, he borrowed it or worked for it until he paid for it, and then bore it away in triumph and read it at odd moments between works? Have you heard of Fred Douglass, too, how he saved his old moments, and picked his letters out of the bills and posters, and so learned to read; and went on improving his chances, where some of you would have thought there was no chance at all? And these are not exceptions. Many here have far better opportunities than these which I have named, if they only would use them faithfully. Alas! in not a few instances which I have known; while the young man is lounging around the street corners, idling away his time, his poor mother is over the wash tub earning the money which pays for the food which he eats. I blush for shame at the sight of such things.
"The other day I went into a grocery store where a good deal of business was going on, and I sat down and watched the proceedings. The orders came in chiefly through the telephone. I was pleased to notice that the colored clerks answered the telephone and filled out the orders as frequently as did the white clerks, and they did it with quite as much dexterity and attention to details. They wrote out a list of the articles with the prices and placed with the order, and also handed a copy of this list to the book-keeper. Now for my reflections. These colored clerks had prepared themselves, so that they were perfectly competent for their work, and went right on without any supervision from the white clerks. And I thought, what these colored young men can do, why can not other colored young men fit themselves to do? It is honesty, reliability, and skill which are wanted. Prejudice is strong but before these qualities it has to yield. Reliability and skill and accuracy are to sway the future. The time approaches when they will command the top wages, irrespective of color. Young man, improve your time, catch your opportunities, and make yourself an expert in something which is wanted, and you will be wanted.
"Again I said our young man is out in the wide world, he is among people, and he likes to be among them; he is pre-eminently social. At once then this important question arises: Who shall be his associates? Choice of companions.
"We are often told that the young man is not at liberty to choose his associates; that he must take people as they come, and put up with such society as circumstances and not preference afford for him. This idea is largely a mistake. Do not accept it. True, we are thrown in contact with all sorts of people in a business way, but must we therefore make associates, intimates of all, good or bad? Have we not the right to select our companions and confidants? The young man who desires to be of good odor morally, can find those who have the same desire; find them in almost any place; certainly, can find them in any church, Sunday School or congregation. And then let everyone remember that resolve doing right will of itself sift out a choice circle of worthy friends. Like seeks like. He who is found in bad company, ordinarily has a fondness for bad company.
"As I am on the streets of Savannah, I see groups of young colored men here and there, well enough dressed, and from the catch words which come to me as I pass, their conversation is anything but elevating, and in many instances highly indecent. Indeed, I have sometimes heard them making sneeringremarks about young ladies as they passed. Now I know nothing about the character of these young ladies, but I do know that any young man who is a man, would not be making sneering remarks concerning the other sex, nor will he keep company with those who do.
"But here is one who pleads 'Bad society never hurts me. I am so armed in integrity that evil passes by me like the idle wind.' This is a dangerous pleas; worse than dangerous, it is false; false to experience, false to fact. Yonder is a man steadily occupied preparing medicines; compounding very poisonous chemicals. He inhales them constantly, but he says 'I am a healthy man, it cannot hurt me.' False hope. The subtle poison insinuates itself daily throughout his system. In a short time he is broken down. Bad company and impure associations poison the soul; give it a deadly taint. You know what John B. Gough said, and I heard him say it, that he would give his right arm, if by so doing he could blot from his memory the impure things he had heard and learned from wicked associates. But even if it was true that bad company does not hurt your character, it does hurt your reputation. You
must expect to be known by the company you keep. You get into trouble, and you ought to, when you train in bad company. In the quartz mining for gold the quicksilver used in the mills selects the gold and leaves everything else to pass on; so may you select associates who have unblem.shed character.
"Moreover, if our young man is out in the world, he is amid certain customs and practices. The world has its ways, its rules; public opinion makes them. But is public opinion always right? Far from it. The time was when hospitality required that so often as one stepped into a neighbor's house he must take a drink of liquor. Some stepped in pretty often. Everyone knows what a terrible state of things this custom brought about. At length the temperence reform came, and public opinion became somewhat corrected. I am not going to insult your intelligence by arguing to prove the injuriousness of liquor drinking. Every up-to-date man admits it. Everyone knows that the drinker runs a terrible risk; and yet occasionally we hear the old cry 'No danger no risk.' Did you ever know a wretched drunkard who did not, in the beginning of his course, sing that same song 'No danger no risk?' The wine bottle and the champagne bottle and the beer mug and the whiskey treat have cost many a man his soul.
"There is one every day sight in this and other cities, which ought to make all of us sick at heart. It is that of young boys and girls with their tins pails going to the saloon for beer to take home. If you must have the vile and doctored stuff, don't degrade your son or daughter, or your sister or brother by sending them after it. Go yourself if you will be a whiskey sot or a beer barrel, but God has sent me here tonight to say to you what the Bible says, that no drunkard shall inherit the kingdom of God.
"Young people, have moral independence, and do not fall in with the customs of the world simply because they chance to be the custom, but test them all by the question, Do they conspire to promote health and usefulness? No fashion or custom or opinion, however popular it may chance to be, will be countenanced by a noble soul, if it wars against the health of body or mind or heart. Yes, have a moral independence which does not ask simply to do as the white man does. No, in many things I want that you should improve upon the standards and fashions of the white race. Have an ambition for such rules and customs as please God and grow noble character and help mankind.
"Once more, I was speaking of associates and companions of the young man, and this brings me to pleasant part of my subject, and to a closer alliance; brings me to our young man choosing a wife. Full surely, to speak of the young man and not allude to the young woman, would be odd and unnatural. Originally made of one of Adam's bones, she has been the bone of contention ever since. First of all, young man, before you take a single step toward wedlock, be certain that you have made yourself worthy of the hand and heart of a noble woman. The affection, the heart of a true woman, its the greatest gift you can ask; its asking her to confer on you the highest honor which lies in human power to give.
"What right have you to ask it? What claim can you urge? Simply your love? No, first and above all purity. Character, good character, honesty, absolute truthfulness, right habits, a life which will bear to have the light turned onto it at full blaze, have you these claims? You ask a woman to give herself to what? To a man? Think before you answer. Think. Are you worthy of that noblest name, a man. Some of you I know are; I hope all of you are.
Among other claims, can you present the credentials of honest industry and thrift. You ought to prove yourself capable of taking care of a woman, better care, too, than she can take of herself, before you venture to pay her your addresses. By this I do not mean that you must be wealthy, or able to offer a splendid outfit, a splendid home, but I mean that you must be honest, capable, industrious, must have honest push in you.
"What, also are your aims; what are your likes? Are they elevating or degrading? A man's likes tell what he is. Have you those aims and preferences and tastes which can call out the devotion of a worthy woman's fathomless nature? I have known towns and cities where it was common remark that the young men as a class, were not equal in character to the young women. Be that as it may, sometimes woman does have to dwarf and cripple her nature in order to come within the measure of her husband's nature. Sometimes she has a culture and refinement which he neither possesses nor appreciates; sometimes she loves good thoughts and good people, while he likes self indulgence, laziness, low people. Young man and young woman, too, growth and ripening of mind and heart, in a word, soul wealth pays, brings a happiness of which no one, and no chance nor change can rob you. With this a
cottage is richer than a mansion without it.
"Be sure of this, the worthy young man never does anything which brings the blush of shame to the face of a good woman. 'How was it asked a lady of a young man, that you passed through a thousand temptations unspotted?' He pointed to his mother and sisters. 'They gave me my standard. I was obliged to leave home and mingle among strangers, but those dear faces of the early home fireside rose up between me and wrong. They kept me.'
"This in parenthesis; I have never been addicted to calling all women angels, patterns of perfection, flowers of Eden. I hope I never shall be. Alas! it will not do, (I wish it would) to go on the supposition, that all women are just right. No, there are women and there are women. Have you read George Elliot's greatest novel, 'Adam Bede?' one of the few novels which every one does well to read. If you have, you remember that inimitable character, Mrs. Poyser. Among many other things she says 'I'm not denyin' that wimmen is fools. God A'mighty made 'em to match the men."
"Woman! we call hers the weaker sex! Woman! her very weakness, when it is joined to true worth, is her strength. She has a grand leverage by which to lift young men. But she who lifts others must herself stand on firm ground; who draws others higher must herself be high. 'Young people, seek for a life companion who will unite with you in making a home which is a home, a blessed harbor, a sweet refuge the dearest place on earth,—ome; sweet home.
"We hear persons talking of moving in good society, and in the highest circles of society. How much mistake and deception, and how much gratitudes assumption are often in a popular phrase or word! Ahl there is a goodly company, a grand society, patriotic workers, hard toiling, patient, faithful, fathers and mothers, selfdenying enthusiastic, persevering teachers; and the cheerful, industrious doers of the honest work of this world; humble, steadfast untrumpeted lovers of their fellow men; builders of the real prosperity and advancement of mankind. Young people, are you mustering in with those who are making this world better; with those who are filling, rally filling their place, in the family, in the Sunday school, in the church, and throughout the circle of their acquaintance? These—the kind; the good, the true, the useful, the faithful, these who can be counted on every time; these constitute the high circles of society; these constitute the grand fraternity of God. Do you belong to that circle of society?
"But young people, there is so much more than even this for you. There is a wonderful Friend, there is a Divine Companion for you. In choosing friends, I pray you, first and always choose him. He stands in your pathway; he comes to your door, he knocks. To fasten him out is to drop out the main-spring, the very power-wheel of your life. Without that great Companion, your Divine brother—Lord, you are so incomplete; only a pedestal on which the statue has never been placed, a column begun but never finished. All great souls have walked with God, and out of the incompleteness of earth, have risen into the completeness of heaven.
"Has it ever been yours to stand by one in his last hour, and to grow heart-weary in seeing him stretch out this hand, and then that hand, reaching, grasping after something. Picture of some lives and some owl. To-night grasp the proffered hand of your Saviour. Oling to it, and yours will be an eternal success."

Mrs. Amanda Moore has return after spending two months with friends at Lake Park Ga., and reports that she enjoyed her stay in the cold region. Her friends are glad to welcome her return. Mrs. E. L. Mathis and Mr. Moore were among the visitors on Sunday. Mr. C. J. Jones and Mr. E. L. Scott were here on Sunday. Mrs. E. L. Scott, the A. M. E. church, will give an entertainment on Saturday night Feb 1, under the management of Bro. L. Huff and sister Carrie Dudley. All are invited to attend and help to make it a success. Miss Sadie J. Bradley arrived here Friday, and Mrs. E. L. Scott was here more. Her many friends were glad to meet her. While here, she in company with the writer, Mrs. Delia Fullnore with little Amanda, visited Scott lake and were the guest of Mr. and Mrs. C. T. Taylor. It is needless to say that we enjoyed our trip for any one visiting the home of Mrs. E. L. Scott. We were on Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Mathis, but finding her suffering from an attack of neuralgia, she was not able to entertain the ladies on that occasion. We hope she will recover soon. Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Bright, will leave in a few days for Hawkinsville, when they will make their future trip. We hate to hurt such good friends as Mr. Bright and his loving family. Our loss will be Hawkinsville's gain. We hope for them a prosperous trip. Mr. A. Pridgeon, made a visit here and the guest of Mr. W. J. Pridgeon. Mr. H. W. Highsmith was the guest of Mr. W. T. Taylor on Sunday. Mr. Will Taylor has moved to Lakeland. Mr. Sabe Hudson and family have moved to Valdosta, Ga. Mr. Burkett has moved his family to Miccanopy, Fla. Success to the TAHUNE.

‘+he reception tendered™by~ éhe
physicians and friends-of Dr. and
fre. E. D. Bulkley; at Morse’a Hall
Friday night“of last week, was a
and affair in every particnlar way.
Hany witty toasts were made to the
bride and groom extending cordial
welcome to ourcity. Dr. Parks read
an original poem composed by him
for the occasion. Dr. Bugg welcomed
the guests in behalf of the friends
and physicians. Prof Thompson of
the G@ S.I. O.averred that if he had
to pay for his supper in speech mak-
ing, although a-cheap way, that he
could only make part payment to
settle the account, Mr. Geo. S. Wil-
liams gave sound advice to the new-
ly married couple, Geo. S. seemed to
have been enthused. Of course we
all gave the reason for we believe
there will soon be another benedict in
the ranks. Mr. L. G. Middleton was
the wit of the evening. He fervently
hoped that the greatest trocbles the
young couple would have on this
voyage of matrimony would be “lit?
tle ones.” Drs. Lloyd and Whaley
were too busy to oy anything being
bent on the task of finding the ori-
gin and ineertion of the principal
muscles of taose three large turkeys.
There was also asuspicion that Dr.
Love was jealous and a reason was,
whispered. Dr. Blackman only
tought. He isan old past master
of benedicte. Dr. Davis acted mas-
ter of ceremonies and was alsu busy
making it comfortable at-his end of|
the table. Drs. Bugg and Wiliams
spared no pains in seeing that thé
details of the supper were perfection
of which every one sumptionsly’ re-
pasted, after which ‘Dr. Balkley
responded beantifally thanking his
friends for the pleasuye of the even-
ing. A look at the variety of gor-
geously beautiful and unique designs
of gowns worn by the ladies one
wonld think the famous Worth bad
to do with the gowning. The names
of Miss Mittie Milledge and Dr,
and Mrs. L.S. Parks were omitted
through over sight of which, we are
sorry.
Wedding Reception. |
The members and friends of St
Psul C, M. E. church, tendered to
their pastor, Rev. C. I. Bonner ane
his bride ‘a swell reception on Wed-
nesday of last week. Many val-
uable presents were received. His
rooms at the parsonage were filled
to overflowing with guests, mary
of,the elite of the city were present.
A profusion of refreshments were
served.
The band rendered sweet music
while an enjoyable evening was
spent. The bride, Miss Roxie
Rhodes, a talented and beautiful
young lady, is of one of the oldest
and well to-do famities of Burke
Co. They were married at Green-
cut, Ga. the evening prior to the re-
ception, at which place the friends
donated many valuable presents
We wish for the reverend and his
Lride a smooth sea on their matri-
monial voyage.
A Rare Treat.
ane Datson—Millar engagement
atthe First A. B, church on Wed-
nesday and Thursday nights was
a grand affair, The first night the
attendance was large, madeQup of
some of our best people. The pro-
gram was well carried out. The
Jocal talent came in for a lion’s
share of theapplause. Miss Batson
retained her reputation as a sweet
singer and made many new admir-
ers, She is a favorite in Savan-
nah. Mr. Millar rendered his part
to the satisfaction of all who heard
him. The Glee Club’s selections
were heartily approved. It was the
best program presented in the city
in some me, The musical loving
public is indebted to Dr. Carr for’
the great treat,

experience that thousands of persons fn

want one. Thatsounds paradoxical, but
it isn’t s0 much so. a3 one might think at.

was @ condensed New York newspaper

usual noon shots, one of which proved
to be @ fizzle, Tié burning powder
ignited the gas and the explosion fol-
lowed. Smoke and debris were blown
out of the shatt 200 feet high. Part
of the top works was torn away and
the vans and ‘cages were _partlally
wrecked. This made the work of res-
cue very slow, and it was 3 o'clock
-before volunteer partles dared to ven-
ture into the east entry where the
explosion occurred. When they
fought their way in a horrible sight
greeted them. The dear and Injured
were terribly burned and muillated,
some of'them almost beyond recogn!
un. Fire had broken out, and this
added terror to the spectacle. The
flames were finally controlled, and af:
ter several of the rescue party had
succumbed to the fumes, all the dead
were found and carried to the top of
the shaft.
It was nearly 6 o'clock Friday even-
ing when the last of the dead was ta-
ken out, and the scenes of anguish

were married, and leave families In

DENAIARK “RELEASES ISLANDS.
Treaty of Cession Signed at Washing:
ee
For Ratification,
A Washington special says: The
treaty of cession of. the Danish West
India islands from Denmark to the
‘United States was signed atthe state
department Friday by Secretary Hay
and Constantine Brun, the ® Danish
minister, 4
The treaty will be submitted to the
senate for ratification immediately
In December, 180g reports from Co
penhagen, confirmed at Washington
Indicated then that a preliminary
agreement had been reached between
Denmark and the United States tor
the sale to the United States of the {s-
lands of St, Thomas and St. Johns, fi
the Danish West Infies, for $4,500,000.
Santa Cruz, the largest of the group,
it was stated, would remain under the
Danish flag. The islands aro between
30 and 40 miles east of Porto Rico,
The population of St. Thomas 1s 12,
000, and of St. John less than 1,000.
The area of the two islands are 23
and 21 square miles, respectively.
‘Tho population ot St Thomas 1s
mainly ip the town of Charlotte Ame
Ue, which {s a free port, and this prob-
ably is the only festure which makes
the islands of much value, The soll
§s mostly unproductive and is but lit-
tle cultivated. The best products of
the island Is St. Thomas bay rum, the
Ingredients of which are largely ob‘
tained In Porto Rico. Cattle are also
ralsed. -
Cruz Bay ts the chief fown of the
island of St, Thomas, which 1s north
east of St. Thomas. The industries of
St. John are much like those of the lat-
ter island. The population of the en-
tire group is chiefly negro. ~
Santa Cruz, or Saint Croix, has ay
area of 110 square miles. Mwo-fifths
of’ the laid is in.sugar plantations,
but coffee, indigo and cattle sre rals-
ed. The chief town of the Island is.

‘PRINCE. OF; WALES SNUBBED.
In Great City ‘of Beriin Not.a Hat Wea
Lifted ara Pheer aver to. King
- Edwara's Reprecéntative.
A special trOg.-Berlin, Germany
says: Sunday passed without any dis
respect being shown to the prince of
“Wales, who arrived Saturday ‘evening
‘to represent King Edward at the cele
bration of the anniversary of the birth
ot Emperor William next Sunday.
German crowds have a too deeply
abiding respect for royal personages
and are too thoroughly linpressed to
ever jeer them. But in a clty where
the lifting of one’s hat is universal
as ordinary civility it was singular to
see the passing.crowds with never a
hat raised, and to hear no murmurs
of applause.
The last experience abroad of the
prince of Wales was his departure
amid thunderous cheers from the
shores of Newfoundland, while th
streets through which the prince was
obliged to be driven on this occasion
on his way to visit the British ambas-
sador was without one single British
flag. a
While receiving the most élaborate
attentions from the family of Emper-
or William and German officials, the
prince of Wales must feel the chilling
attitude of the German public. Almost
all the newspapers refrain trom edl-
torial comment on his visit.
‘The National Zeitung concludes a
page editorial on the friendship be-
tween the United States and Germany
with these words: é
“The only object ot the visit of
Prince Henry to the United States 1s
the cultivation of this sentiment. The
German emperor could give the Unl-
ted States no better proof of the feel-
ings and sentiments animating him
and the German people in regard to
tie greatness and development of the
unton ag a progressive power than in
sending his brother there. “ The prince
4s the first German prince of the old
regime to tread the eoll of the great
republic and undoubtedly his acquaint-
anceship with the most prominent men
of the union will have a beneficial ef-
fect upon national relations.
“The visit of Prince Henry must dis-
sipate all foolish and malicious asso-
ciations of political antagonism bo-
tween Germany and the United States,
and. of German plans of conquest In
the American sphere of influence and
will thereby strengthen and establish
feelings of mutual recognition and
equality of standing. No treaty or al-
Nance between Germany and the Unk
ted States Is needed. Ever since the
existence of the United States, peace,
friendship and trade intercourse have
prevailed between us. Prince Henry's
trip shows that we wish to remain In
the same relations in the future, and
the reception which the people, the
government and public opinion are
preparing for him on American soll
will give splendid proof that the Amer-
{cans cherish similar sentiments and
hopes.” i
DR. CRAWFORD PASSES AWAY,
Fer Over Twenty Yeara He Was Sec:

Da John L, Crawtord, secretary of

“MISTORY OF- MASSAGE.-
ONE Se Le eT ee ee Nee ee gee
Been tho Chinese. = ©
“It 1s, often impossible to determine
the origin of our methods of treat
ment, particularly as -most ‘of them
date back to the dark ages, when ac-
cursey in detall was not a character-
istic feature in medical records.
Sweden s usually credited with be-
tng the place of origin of the scfent!-
fic system of massage’ and ‘physical
exercises. This, says The British
Medical Journal, is no doubt correct
as far as modern’Europe ts concerned,
but the real, originators of massage
and physical “exercisés appear to have
been the Chinese, An interesting ar
{clo appeared , recentiy in the
Deutsche Medicinische — Wochens-
chritt, in which refcrofice was_made
to a book lately published by P’an
Wel, Governor of Hupeh. ‘The author
a great authority on massage, was con-
sulted by the late Empress of China,
‘The Chinese legends contain many
references to various systems of phy-
sical exercises, and these are associat-
od ina curfous manner with metaphy-
steal thought. Lite, aécording to the
Chinese traditions, {s entirely depend-
ent on “alr currents,” which are destg-
nated as the primary aura of thé or-
gaulsm. So long as the body {s per-
meated by the “alr current” It 1s proot
against discase. ‘The object of physt-
cal exercise 1s to circulate the “air
current.” The Chinese system is di-
vided into three periods, each period
occupying one hundred days. The
first ‘perlod should commence at the
time of the new moon. The patient
must rise at 4a. m. and walk outside
his house, and take seven deep inspir-
ations; immediately after this two
youths, who have been specially train-
ed, commence a gentle friction all
over the body, starting ovgr the car-
diac area, At the time of full moon
a further set of inspiratory exercises
must be taken, Later on in the séc-
ond period the varlous parts of the
body are rubbed with wooden planks
until the muscles are hardened. It
fs not until the hardening of the mus-
cles takes place that the real phys!-
¢al exercises commence. .Between the
#{th and six months is tho period

‘shortly before’ my boat sailed from
Liverpool for New York,” sald a
waiter on sin ocean liner, “if he-would
mind changing three of tho courses on
the bill of fare for others which he
preferred. He was informed politely
but firmly that there were other pas-
sengers besides himself sailing on the
vessel, and that it he thought he
could not survive on the excellent faro
provided during the voyage, all he had
to do was to book with another line
and his passage money would be re
turned to bim,
“Steamship companies are not in
the habit of returning passage money
when once pald, as 1s well known, but
in this instance we would have been
willing to have done so.
“Our fastidious passenger dia fot
ook with another line, however, and,
what {s moro, he ate enough at each
meal on the trip to satisty two men
with seaair appetites, and presented
to the walter, who attended with ex-
treme good nature to his likes afd
dislikes throughout the voyage, the
magnificent sum ot 15 cents,”
Club of Red-Haired Men.
One of the unique social organiza
tons of the country has recently beer
formed at Washington. The only in
flexible rule for membership is that
the opplicant shall have red halr. The
society is defined by a member as be
ing a “soclety of protest,” but strictly
socal in its alms. It has no philan
thropical nor political ideals, and there
1s no danger, should the idea spread
and become national in its scope, of
the R. H. C’s putting forth a candidate
for the presidency.
It seems that the soclety organized
in a rebellion against the antiquated
and moldy witticlams which red-
haired people th all parts of the civill-
zed and uncivilized world are supposed
to enjoy, or at least to suffer with a
sickly pretense of enjoyment—Chl-
