VOL. XVII. PLEADS FOR CUBANS General Wood Says Assistance Is Vitally Imperative. Members of Senate- Receive. Circular Letter of Much Import from Military Governor of the Island. A circular letter has been received by members of the senate from General Wood, military governor of Cuba; urging concessions on Cuban sugar coming into the United States. General Wood says: "I desire to livrite your most correct attention and consideration to the economic conditions existing in Cuba today, conditions which threaten to bring ruin to her principal industries, sugar and tobacco, unless prompt and efficient relief is given. With the ruin of her two principal industries we must give up all, hopas of stable government, and unless Cuba can sell her products at a reasonable profit, it is oblivious that their cultivation must cease, bringing idleness and hunger to her people. "Each day of delay in giving relief is dangerous. When once the crash comes, relief will be of little value except to the speculators who may gather up the wrecks here; the people of the country, who have virtually reconstructed it in three years, will be ruined, and we shall have to step in and reoccupy the country, or continue in occupation and do over again the work which we have spent thousands of llyes and much treasure in doing up to date. The situation demands relief and it should be immediate and liberal." Representatives Payne and Grosvenor, the former chairman of the way and means committee, had a long conference with the president Monday on the subject of the reduction of the tax on Cuban sugar imported into the United States. Republican leaders of the house, in their desire to maintain their position against sugar tariff reductions in the interest of Cuba are endeavoring to find some other way to grant benefits to the Cuban planter. One method under consideration contemplates an increase by this government in the countervailing duties now imposed against sugars from those countries where the producers have the advantage of government export bounties. IN A SECRET GRAVE Bodies of the Biddles WILL Be Hidden From Possible Mutilation. A Pittsburg dispatch says: The remains of Edward and John Biddle, the dead bandits, arrived at the Pittsburg and Western railroad station at 11 o'clock Monday morning, and were at once taken to the Pittsburg morgue. Hundreds of persons gathered about the station. When the train drew in there a rough scramble to get to the platform, of the depot, during which several were bruised by being crushed against the side of the stairway. An immense crowd soon gathered at the morgue, but a large detail of police prevented them from entering the building. The remains of the murders were turned over to their brother, Harry Biddle. To prevent the demolition of the coffins and the mutilation of the bodies, which, in all probability, would follow their burial if the spot was generally known, Harry Biddle has arranged a secret plan to dispose of his brothers' remains, without letting the public know where or when the interment will take place. The only matter now of anything like absorbing interest in connection with the Biddies is the fate of Mrs: Soffel and anything she may say concerning the escape and subsequent capture of the trlo. Mrs. Soffel is lying in the Butler hospital, and, though a sick woman, her case is not considered really serious. SPECIAL SCAFFOLD WANTED. Mathis Is Willing to Hang, But Draws the Color Line. Will Mathis, white, of Oxford, Miss., who was convicted at the recent term of the circuit court along with the negro, Bill Owens, for the murder of the Montgomery brothers, and was sentenced to death next month along with Owens, now raises the social equality, question, and said that he does not object to being hanged, but he does object to being hanged alongside of a negro, and he asks the sheriff to erect a special scaffold for him. Mathis' request will probably be granted and a special and separate scaffold erected The Caustically "Comment" on Schley's Appeal, While the Admiral Is Receiving Ovations Galore. A Washington special says: The appeal for the review of his case, filed with the president by Admiral Schley, has drawn out caustic comment from Judge Advocate Lemly and Solicitor Hanna. The comment severely arraigns Schley for his conduct of the battle of Bantage and declares the investigation for the court of inquiry to make war for the purpose of fixing the blame rather than directing the honor. They say the chief features of the case were "the retrograde movement," "disobedience of orders," "inacourage and misleading official reports," "failure to destroy vessels of the enemy lying within sight" and "injustice to a brother officer." These matters are all grave. The first was that the finest aggregation of American naval vessels under one command was, by Schley's direction, turned about and headed for Key West, more than 700 miles distant, when within 22 miles of Santiago, where the enemy's ships were. The second was that Schley deliberately and knowingly disobeyed the secretary's order overtaking him in his retrograde movement. The third was that Schley's reason offered 'officially, for the retrograde movement and disobedience of orders, i. e., "that the flying squadron was short of coal," was not true. The fourth was that for three days some of the Spanish ships lay within reach of the flying squadron and no sufficient effort was made to destroy them. The fifth involves the point of honor. The commentators say: "Upon all the above named features, believed by us to be the most important, if not the only important, matter into which the court made inquiry, the conduct of Admiral Schley was condemned by that most distinguished tribunal. Admiral Dewey and Rear Admirals Benham and Ramsay united in their findings and opinion upon all of these several points." The commentators charge that Admiral Schley now ignores all the grave matters and bases his appeal upon relatively unimportant matters of the case. WOULD-BE ROBBERS SWING. Wade and Dalton Pay Penalty For Murder of Morrow at Portland. At Portland, Oregon, Friday, Joseph Wade and B. H. Dalton were hanged in the county jail yard for the murder of James B. Morrow, November 14 last. Both men retained their nerve and just before the rope was put around Wade's neck he said: "You may think I'm happy, but I'm not." Morrow had been calling on a young lady and was on his way home about midnight on November 14 when Wade and Dalton stepped in front of him and ordered him to throw up his hands, intending to rob him. Morrow made a move as if to put his hand in his pocket, when he was shot dead. NASHVILLE WELCOMES SCHLEY. Tennessee City Puts on Holiday Attire For Hero of Santiago. Admiral and Mrs. Schley became the guests of Nashville Friday and the city was in holiday attire in their honor. The train bearing them from Louisville over the Louisville and Nashville road was met at Bowling Green, Ky., by a committee of Nashville's citizens, who joined them on President Smith's private car for the remainder of the journey. Both the admiral and his wife appeared in the best of health and spirits and expressed themselves as highly delighted with their stay in Louisville. Nashville Geta Sum of $600,002. The committee on public buildings and grounds Friday authorized a favorable report on the bill appropriating $600,000 for an addition to the Nashville, Tenn., public building. TO PAY DEPOSITORS. Affairs of Albany, Ga., Bank Will Be Satisfactorily Adjusted. Judge W. N. Spence appointed Morris Weslosky permanent receiver of the Commercial Bank at Albany, Ga., all objections to Mr. Weslosky's appointment having been withdrawn. The bank has offered to settle with depositors by paying 25 per cent cash, 25 per cent in nine months, 25 per cent in twelve months and 25 per cent in fifteen months. It is believed that the depositors will accept this proposition and that the bank's affairs will be adjusted in this manner. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 8, 1902. FOOL WOMAN'S WORK Jailer's Wife Assists Two. Murderers to Make Escape. SHE GOES ALONG WITH THEM Edward and John Biddle, awaiting execution in the Pittsburgh, Pa., jail for the murder of Grover Thomas D. Kahney, of Mount Washington, whose home they were burglarizing on the morning of April 12, last, overpowered the guards at 4 o'clock Thursday morning and escaped. Both prisoners had been provided with saws with which to cut the bars in their cells and were ready at any moment to make an opening sufficiently large to pass through. The prisoners occupied adjoining cells on the second range. They had evidently been preparing for escape for some time, and had assistance from the outside, as both were armed with revolvers. Shortly before 4 o'clock one of the Biddles called to James McGeary, who had charge of the outside gates, and arked for some cramp medicine in a hurry, saying his brother was dangerously slick. McGeary hastened to the cell with the medicine, when John Biddle sprang through the opening in the cell and, selzing the guard around the waist, hurled him over the railing to the stone floor beneath, a distance of sixteen feet. Edward Biddle joined his brother immediately and both, with drawn revolvers, hurried to the first floor, where they met Guard Reynolds and shot him. There were but three men on duty and the third was on one of the upper ranges. He was ordered down at the point of the revolvers, and the three guards were put in the dungeon. The keys were taken from Keeper McGeary and the two desperate prisoners had a clear field. The only persons who witnessed the escape were prisoners who could not interfere or give an alarm. The Biddles went to the wardrobe, where the guards kept their clothing, and each put on a new suit. They then unlocked the outside gates and passed out into Ross street. The escape was not discovered until the daylight guards went on duty at 6 o'clock. They were informed by prisoners where the night guards had been put, and they were soon released from the dungeon and sent to the homeopathic hospital. Freed By Woman's Love. The escape of the Biddles has been explained. Warden Peter K. Soffel has authorized its publication. It is the allegation that his wife is responsible for the furnishing of the revolvers and saws to the Biddles, which enabled them to escape. In her infatuation for the handsome desperade, Edward Biddle, it is alleged, that she has left her husband and her four children, and it is supposed is to meet the convicts at a place agreed upon. The warden made inquiries at the homes of all of his wife's relatives, and was unable to find any trace of her. An investigation disclosed the fact that she had taken all of her best clothes with her. The warden's overcoat is also missing. It is reported that the Biddles took a train at the Fourth Avenue station, of the Pan Handle railroad, which is within a block of the fall, and left for the west. The county commissioners met in the afternoon and offered a reward of $5,000 for the recapture of the murderers. Freight Trains Go Together. As the result of a head end collision between two freight trains Thursday morning, one mile west of Anniston, Ala., on the Southern railway, one man was killed instantly and five others were injured. NAMED BY PRESIDENT. A Number of Southern Appointments Go to the Senate. The president Monday sent the following nominations to the senate: Postmasters: Alabama—Nicholas G. Schad, Brewton; John B. Lollar, Jasper; Blevins S. Perdue, Greenville; William T. Hutchens, Huntsville. Georgia—Frederick B. Dismuke, Jr., Thomasville; Wm. A. Sheaits, Monroe, North Carolina—John W. G. Long, Statesville. South Carolina—Robert S. Link, Abbeville. BIDDLES DEAD; WOMAN LIVES. After Lingering in Agony Many Hours, Both Wounded Men Cross the Dark River. A news special from Butler, Pa., says: At the close of a day of intense excitement and many conflicting stories concerning the chances for life of the wounded Biddle brothers and Mrs. Kate Sofol, the unexpected happened. John Biddle, who until late Saturday afternoon was the more likely brother to escape present death, succumbed at 7:18 p.m. His brother Bd, who had been unintensely practiced all day and who was considered a dying man Friday night, survived until 11 b'clock, when he, tob, went over the great divide. Both men died without apparent suffering at the close. Mrs. Soffet, who developed symptoms of pneumonia, has a chance for life, and unless some unforeseen complication sets in, will recover. The death of Jack Biddle was caused by the bullet wounds in his abdomen and bladder. Early in the day the physicians thought peritonitis was the principal danger in his case, but internal hemorrhage set in and the man bled to death in a short while. As long as he was able, Jack was extremely talkative and was at times beastful. But as soon as the shadow of death began to fall upon him and he recognized it, he became repentant. "I know," he said, "that my time is short, and you can say for me that I am a Christian and will die a sincere believer in God, and hope I have strength enough to say so at the last. I know I have taken part in many wrong deeds, but I have never killed any man and was never implicated with any one who did." TWO MILLIONS IN SMOKE. Waterbury, Connecticut, Visited By a Fearful Conflagration. In the hardest gate of the winter Waterbury, Conn., struggled Sunday night with a fire that destroyed a large area of the business section of the city and threatened to wipe it out entirely. The blaze started in the upholstery department on the third floor of the store of Reed & Hughes, dry goods company, Nos. 108 to 120 Bank street, and that store and many adjoining buildings were reduced in a few hours to smoldering embers. An estimate of $2,000,000 as the amount of the properly loss on buildings and contents was considered conservative by insurance men. The origin of the fire is unknown and it was not discovered until it had gained tremendous headway. At 6:15 p. m. three employees of the Reed & Hughes company were in their store and when they left noticed no order of smoke about the house. Fifteen minutes later flames were seen to burst with great force from the window of the third floor, and almost simultaneously from the basement. Before anybody could send in an alarm the whole interior of the building was a mass of flames, which spread rapidly to adjoining buildings. The fire started in a drizzling rain, and late returning to snow with rapidly rising wind. W. H.

STRIKE WAS SHORT LIVED. Tampa Cigarmakers Reach Agreement With Officers of Company. A conference between a committee of the officers of the American Cigar Company in Tampa, Fla., in whose factories the recent 'cigarmakers' strike was begun, was held Sunday. An agreement was reached by which the strike has been called off. The strikers did not get their entire demands, it is said, but a compromise for the present was reached. The exact conditions of the agreement however, have not been given out for publication. DUTCH TURNED DOWN England Rejects Netherlands Proposition to Stop Boer War. TEXT OF LANSDOWNE'S ANSWER Any Negotiations Looking to Pause Must Come Direct From the Bear Leaders In South The British government has refused butright to consider the Dutch proposals looking to end the war in South Africa. The government, in its reply to Dr. Kuyper, the Dutch premier, states that if the Doers in the field desire to negotiate for peace, negotiations can be entered into, but only in South Africa. The British government adheres to its intention not to accept the intervention of any foreign power. Text of British Reply. The text of the reply of Lord Lansdowne to the communication of the Netherlands in part is as follows: "The Foreign Office, January 29.—Sir: You were good enough to lay before me, January 25 a communication from the Netherlands government, in which it was proposed that with the abject of bringing the war to an end his majesty's government might grant a safe conduct to the Boer delegates now in Holland, for the purpose of enabling them to confer with the Boer leaders in South Africa. "It is suggested that after a conference the delegates might return to Europe with power to conclude a treaty of peace with this country, and the Netherlands government intimate that, in this event, they might, at a later stage, be instrumental in placing the Beer plenipotentiaries in relation with plenipotentiaries who might be appointed by his majesty's government. His majesty's government have given it their best consideration, and whilst entirely appreciative of the motives of humanity, which led the Netherlands government to make this proposal, they feel they must adhere to the position adopted and publicity announced by them some months after the commencement of hostilities by the Boers, that it is not their intention to accept the intervention of any foreign power in the South African war. "Should the Boer delegates themselves desire to lay a request for a safe conduct before his majesty's government, there is no reason why they should not do so. "I may, therefore, point out that it it not at present clear to his majesty's government that the delegates retain any influence over the representatives of the Boers in South Africa, or have any voice in their councils. It is evident that the quickest and most satisfactory means of arranging a settlement would be by direct communication between the leaders of the Boer forces in South Africa and the commander-in-chief of his majesty's forces, who has already been instructed to forward immediately any offers he may receive. His majesty's government has decided that if the Boer leaders should desire to enter into negotiations for the purpose of bringing the war to an end, these negotiations must take place, not in Europe, but in South Africa. Otherwise hostilities would be prolonged and much human suffering, perhaps, needlessly occasioned. (Signed) "LANSDOWNE." ONE ROAD COMES IN. Lessee of. State Property. Agree to Georgia Depot Proposition. Governor Candler, as chairman of the depot commission, was officially notified Tuesday by Charles E. Harmon, general passenger, agent of the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis railway, that his railroad would accept the proposition of the state to build a new union depot on its properly, provided the other railroads entered into the same agreement. SCHLEY VISITS "HERMITAGE." Admiral and Wife Have Look at Jack- Annie Old Hame and His Tomb son's Old Home and His Tomb. A Nashville, Tenn., special says; Admiral and Mrs. Schley braved' the cold Sunday for a visit to the tumb of Andrew Jackson. The trip, to the Hermitage, twelve miles out on the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis railroad, was made in a special train. The party was taken in charge by a committee from the Ladies' Hermitage Association and escorted to the old brick church where Jackson worshiped and where, services were held. Afterwards the historic mansion and tumb were visited. FIREMEN BURIED UNDER DEBRIS. Burning Building at St. Louis Falls; Killing, Nina Men and Injuring As Many More. At least nine firemen were killed end as many more injured at a fire which broke out Tuesday night in the five-story stone and brick building located at No. 324 Chestnut street, St. Louis, occupied by the American Tent and Awning Company. The building suddenly collapsed and the nine men were caught in the crash. Those reported dead are: August Thelery, first assistant chief, brought in ruins; Michael Kehoe, assistant foreman of company No. 13, brought in ruins; Daniel Steele, foreman of No. 12 company; caught in ruins; William Dundon; pipe man; Charles Krening, pipe man; Patrick Bergen, assistant foreman; three pipe men, names unknown, caught in ruins. The injured includes five men. The building in which the fire originated was located in the old business section of the city and, was about fifty years old. The blaze, which proved a hard one for the fire department to master, had been gotten practically under control when suddenly, with absolutely no warning, it collapsed and came down in a heap with a noise that could be heard for blocks. Three plpermen at work on the second floor had difficulty in managing a line of hose, and Assistant Chief Thierry was on his way with three men to lend them aid when the building collapsed. The men went down with tons of twisted iron, brick, stone and wooden columns enveloping them. Chief Swingley, who was in front of the building directing his men, had a miraculous escape from death. As the front wall fell outward he scurried across the street and fell under the aerial truck. The truck was covered with debris, and it is to its sheltering protection the chief owes his life. Frank Lingo, driver of the truck, was directing a stream on the fire from the aerial ladder, about forty feet from the ground, when the wall fell. A portion of the debris struck him and he was hurled through the air to the ground, receiving probably fatal injuries. Chief Swingley put his entire force to work at once in an effort to rescue the buried firemen, but although the men worked like demons, they had not been able to reach them at midnight. It is a certainty that all are dead, as tons of debris cover them. $ ^{0} $ Following is a list of the losses: American Tent and Awning Company, $25,000; McLean estate, loss on building, $25,000; Herman Ruppel, job printer, $10,000; scattering, $5,000. BODIES ON EXHIBITION. Enormous Crowd Views Remains of Biddle.Boys at Pittsburg. From 9 to 12 o'clock Tuesday the bodies of John and Edward Biddle were exposed to public view at an undertaking establishment in Pittsburg, and during the three hours they were on exhibition several thousand persons passed before the coffins. In the crowd were probably as many women as men. A few minutes before 9 o'clock the police arranged the morbid crowd in line and the door of the mortuary was opened and the crowd passed in slowly and took a look at the remains of the youthful desperadoes. CONGRESS INVITES KRUGER. BILL Introduced In House By Representative Cochran, of Missouri, Representative Cochran, of Missouri, introduced in the house Tuesday a resolution that the Hon. Paul Kruger, president of the South African republic, be invited to visit the United States as the guest of the country, and that for the defrayment of the expenses incurred in his entertainment while in this country, the sum of $25,000 be appropriated out of any money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated. —The new building of the Sokliers' home in Raleigh, N. C., given the survivors of the confederacy by the state, was dedicated Tuesday. The speech of presentation was made by Governor Aycock. NORFOLK SUFFERS HEAVILY. In Configration Property Amounting To Nearly a Million Is Destroyed. A heap of smoking ruins is all that remains of the Atlantic hotel, the Columbia office building which adjoined the hotel, the Albemarle flats, and a block of stores in the center of the city of Norfolk, Va., as the result of a fire early Friday morning. When the famer, were finally judged, nearly $1,600,000 worth of property had been burnt. The loss estimated at $800,000 is allowed in be about half covered by insurance.

SATURDAY FEBRUARY 8, 1902 We think but very little of the man that constantly speaks about what the race should do when he does nothing at all to carry his sayings into effect. If Savannah decides to have a public library and the city makes any kind of donation, the colored citizens would undoubtedly have to come in for a part of its benefits. LINCOLN's birthday will be appropriately celebrated next week by the visit of President Roosevelt to the Charleston exposition. Even Governor Candler and his staff will be present THE constitution of Alabama requires each voter of the state to pay a poll tax and register at a certain time. The registration books closed a few days ago and there is much complaint about the small number of white men who are registered. 'NEXT Wednesday will be Lincoln's birthday. Matters not what there is said about Lincoln not being interested in the freeing of the slaves, it was done, we love him for it and will keep green his memory. It is a shame for the thousands of dollars of the. colored people to lie in the saving banks of the city gaining only a paltry three per cent. when they could judiciously invest the same and receive more than twice that amount. The most ridiculous and at the same time uncalled for arrest was made on Tuesday. A little three year old colored boy while playing on West Broad street accidently threw a rock which struck a passing trolly car, breaking one of the glasses. The conductor had the little fellow arrested and he was taken to the barracks in the patrol wagon. "We hope the Philadelphia Press has noted the fact that on Sunday night last, in the city of Chester, Pa., only a few miles distant from its own city, a mob attacked and broke into the jail for the purpose of lynching a negro. That the lynching actually did not occur, was due not only because of the lack of nerve. It was afraid to face toils of the officers. But the lynching spirit was there, just as strong as it ever was in any isolated country district of the South. Chester is a city of some 35,000 people, is situated in the midst of a thickly settled country and enjoys the enlightened village of being almost a nextdoor neighbor to the delphia; yet we see that Chester, Pa., is as ready to lynch a negro as any country district in Mississippi or Louisiana." The mob was "lack of nerve" because the officers of the law were determined that they would permit no lawless acts without great effort to hinder it, unlike certain officers in this section of the country, who are generally forced (?) to give up the keys of jail houses to mobbers. The Cheater officers knew their business and performed it well. If all of the officers in all sections of the country would do this much there will be "lack of nerve" in every mob. In support of his bill to reduce representatives, Congressman Crump-packer says: "The resolution submitted to the caucus was designed to secure a full and thorough investigation of the suffrage question, not only in the south, but in all the states that have imposed restriction upon manhood suffrage. There is a general belief that a number of the states have disfranchised a large portion of their citizens; that the colored population, by the operation of the state laws, is entirely eliminated as a political quantity, and yet it counts in apportioning representation among the states. It is a general belief that the southern states have at least 35 representatives in the house and electoral college resting upon a fictitious basis. If this be found to be true in fact, and representation be reduced accordingly, as the constitution imperatively requires, it would go a long way toward setting the race question. Such a method would have none of the characteristics of the force bill. The disfranchising states would suffer a reduction in a political power which they could regain by educating their citizens and admitting them to the privilege of the ballot." "Where Wright is All Wrong." "In the dispatches from Washington it is noted that Prof. R. R. Wright, president of the state college for colored people at Savannah, is a candidate for Deveaux's place as collector of customs at Savannah. "We regret to read the fact, Professor Wright is an able colored man and his abilities have been recognized by the Georgia, authorities in selecting him for his presi dent position at the head of a school for his race that is one of the dependencies of the state university. Heretofore he has shown a sensible desire to mould the thoughts and purposes of his people away from politics and into the avenues of industry and economic power. In that field he has the opportunity to become a conspicuous leader, a useful reformer, and to make a worthy name for himself above most of his fellows. "Yet, for the last few years there has been scarcely a federal office in Georgia open to appointment that did not cause Professor Wright to spring into the Washington arena and hold up his dish at the pie window of the white house. The office seeking microbe appears to have burrowed deep into his political economy and at the mention of an official plum his mouth flies open like a lost young robin at every approach. We admit that he has the right to aspire to any office in this land if he elects to do so. That is his personal question. "But Professor Wright should observe the proprieties and not present himself in a ridiculous attitude. He now holds an honorable office by the gift of the people of Georgia and as an educator in that covetable position he can serve his people far better than in any federal collectorship. But if he wants political office, if he is not satisfied where he is; if he wants to exchange the respect and honors of his present position for a political gift, he should resign the presidency of the college that he now holds. He is demeaning the place and doing irreparable hurt to his influence by constantly bobbing up for office." -Atlanta Constitution. A man engaged in the real estate business should always see to it that the landlord gives the tenant quarters that are commensurate with the price he pays for them. And on the other hand, he should strenuously insist that the tenant pay his rent, and all of it, promptly and regularly. The custom of fixing up any sort of an old shack or stable in some alley or by-way and then offering to rent it to poor people, especially to poor colored people, as is the custom in many communities, should be discouraged. The landlord should be educated into furnishing good houses for people to live in, and the people into paying every farthing that may fall due for the use and occupation of them. A well-conducted real estate business in every community would prove a great force in the work of building up our people, making them frugal, securing them money, lands, homes, and withal, respectability and standing as citizen.—Excerpt from January number, Southern Workman. A Successful Meeting. A Successful Meeting. The meeting at Morses Hall on Friday night of last week, can be said to have been largely successful. The purpose for which it was held, was briefly outlined by Mr. John W. Armstrong, acting chairman. He showed that the company he represents here is purely a colored business concern the largest ever gotten together in this country, no fraternal or beneficial construction except those that accrue to their stock-holders and children. Dr. T. James Davis spoke in a masterly manner outlining in detail the workings of the Metropolitan Mercantile and Reality Company, he having been a recent visitor to New York, the headquarters. Mr. A. L. Tucker spoke next, and with plain facts untarnished by decay of usage depicted the very lax condition of our people along business lines. Salient of all being the declaration that midst upwards of $2,000,000 worth of mercantile business owned in Savannah there is a pitiful $1500 of this among our people. It was indeed a deplorable picture. Both speakers received hearty applause at the end of their remarks, showing that the audience in one accord were heartily with them. A feeling of progressive splendor rent the evening's air sunder and when the meeting closed it required no xray to see that business was indelibly stamped on their faces. An encouraging number of shares were sold and it looks like a store of large capacity will stand to the credit of Savannah's colored population. There will be another meeting at the same place on Friday night Feb. 21st at 8:30 when prominent speakers will address the meeting. It is hoped our people will take up the balance of the stock necessary to complete this grand move in the right direction. St. Philips Church Dots. There was a large congregation in attendance at St. Philips on last Sunday morning at the 11 o'clock service. Rev. Cargile D. D., delivered one of the beat discourses that has been delivered at St. Philips for a long time. His text was 1 Pet. 9 verse, subject "Salvation as now received." At 8:15 p.m, Rev. Cargile preached, to a large audience, subject "God's People." There was not a large audience at the moving pictures and lecture on last Wednesday night on account of the disagreeable weather. Communion service was held at 3 p.m. conducted by Rev. Cargile. Remember there is Sunday School every Sunday after- noon, Prof. J. H. Baldwin, Supt. Christian, Endeavor meeting on the second, third and fourth Sunday af- ternoon at 4:30. Everybody is in- vited to attend these services; Mrs. F. C. Cargile, president. To-mor- row is the big rally day at St. Philips and every member must pay their fifty cents to their leader. All friends are requested to assist. We want to raise $200 or $250. The concer- t entertainment given at St. Philips on last Friday night by the Hawaiian students was quite a success. The singing was very good. First A. B. Church. Dr. Carr delivered a very instructive discourse, last Sunday, from the subject "Baptism" Both morning and afternoon services were largely attended. Dr. J. L. Dart of Charleston S. C. preached a fine sermon at 8 p.m. The music rendered by the Hawaiian Concert Company was superb they sang to a large and appreciative audience. The concert given by Madame Stone was also well attended. Tomorrow, Sunday School at 10 a.m. At 11 a.m., Dr. Carr will deliver to the church, preparatory for a revival, a special sermon. At 8 p.m., subject "The Great Centre of Attraction" The revival will begin Sunday night. Dr. Carr will be assisted by Rev. I. Toliver, of Washington, D.C. but formally of Texas.

L. Pease of Williamstown, Mass, and Miss C. L. Graham of Norwalk, Conn., Mrs Laura Brown Johnson, and Misses Meta Boughs and Ella Jackson, as well as the happy Mr. A. H. Hamilton, genial Mr. Frank Coleman and big Dr. Whaley were present. After amusing themselves with various parlor games, the folding doors were drawn aside and oh what a feast. "Hot stuff" "cold stuff" and stuff right out of the pan. Whilst the folks were partaking of all of the delicacies of the season, a band discoursed sweet music and continued playing the balance of the evening. Every body had a good time. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. H. Taylor held a very pleasant reception on Tuesday night last at their residence No. 549 Nicholl street in honor of their tenth wedding anniversary. The reception room was beautifully decorated with flowers. The bride was dressed in a beautiful gray costume, very nicely ornamented with silver jets and an imitation tin belt. A beautiful wedding march was rendered by the talented organist, Miss M. I. Bourke. Many beautiful presents were received, with as many good wishes for their future happiness and prosperity. The following guests were present; Misses M. I. Bourke, E. B. Bourke, Bessie Foster, L. S. Screen, Constance E. Kennedy, M. E. Brown, Carrie Coy, Mames Theodore Robinson, Mattie Thurman, J. C. Bowman, Messrs J. P. Taylor, L. W. Sales, C. E. Bourke, A. H. Hamilton, Andrew Owl, C. H. Watars, Edw. H. Hall, G. B. Moore. Renowned Artists. Beknowned Artists. A feast of music, music and magic, is what the star concert given at First A. B. Church last Wednesday and Thursday evenings sat down to. The announcement of the appearance of Miss Flora Batson, America's double volced "queen of song" was the signal for those deserved applause, and why not we ask? For were we not among the luck who were listening to the one artist who has smiles, kind words and even kisses for her race, where we are sorry so many who have not and never will reach the pedestal of musical fame now occupied by her, leave only the cold slurs and haughty air of "don't come near me" but thank God in Flora Batson and Gerard Mullar, nothing of the kind is felt we breathe seems to be impregnated with the word welcome, and there seems to be a total absence of "professional dig" or "color blindness," and it is well worth the price of your ticket to grasp the jewelled hand of "Queen Flora," or look into the hazel brown eyes of the adonis in bronze, whom the world's best musical man pipe organ. We regret to say we have not space to speak of them we would but must confine our talk to a few points in the program. Of the singing what can we say that the world has not said? Flora Batson is indeed to day the queen of the concert stage, and history has yet to repeat itself to point to her successor. She sing not only sopran, but also soprano, but she drops down in the baritone key and only looks around to see if the sound is not coming from a male slinger instead. A Grand Showing. A Grand Showing. On Wednesday night next, at the bazaar of Crescent Lodge No. 2, Knights of Pythias, the claim of the late Willis Tucker will be paid off publicly. This shows that this order is in a flourishing condition and promptly pays off all of its claims. This is remarkable when it is noted that Mr Tucker has been dead a little over a month ago. Claims for the same length of time will be paid in Brunswick, Macon, Columbus, and Dawson. After these claims are paid, the endowment department will be free of claims and its officers are receiving much praise for the prompt manner in which its affairs are being conducted. Mr. F. M. Cohen of this city distributes this fund. Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, in the February Southern Workman, draws the following conclusions from his study in six chapters, just concluded of "The Housing of the Negro." "First, we as Negroes must recognize that the main tendencies among us are toward bad homes, bad houses bad family customs and that there fore we must put forth especial effort among ourselves and our neighbors to guard against carelessness and to insure progress in home building. Each one of us must strive to occupy a model home which shall inspire our neighbors. Secondly, we must recognize that a large part of the Negro death-rate is due to poor houses and poor home customs. Here is the place to begin, then, to improve health. Thirdly, if it is difficult to develop good minds in poor bodies; it is just as hard to instill morals in one room cabines or in bad houses anywhere. The first step toward good family life is made in building a suitable house. Finally, for all who are interested in the Negro problems, such a study opens up a vista of work in social reform as distinct from purely educational or industrial work." A Negro preacher, in a sermon reported in the February Southern Workman, speaks as follows to his congregation: "The Negro of 1902 is not the intensely God-fearing Negro of 1862. His new environments are rapidly undermining his belief in an ever ruling Providence and unless he is called back to agricultural life, there is danger of his becoming a non-religious being. The Negroes do not attend church, nor contribute to its support as largely as they did ten years ago. In many places, few revisions are held and the church membership has rapidly decreased. Eight tenths of the young Negroes seem interested in having what they call a good time, which means playing cards, crap, billiards, and dancing, which generally winds up in a fight and a seat in the station house or a position on the chain gang. Our boys and girls are debarred from the factory and the store as clerks, and from the mechanical world by trades unions, but they can open, unobstructed entrance into farm life, where they can make a living and be kept out of the devil's workshop idleness."

WE are doing business with most people in this part of the world and why not you? Dedicated to Miss Mary L. Sellers of Baxley, Ga. We took a stroll one summer eve My only chum and I We saw the sun behind the trees, How gloriously it shined. There was a cloud o'er in the west, Gilded in bright array, Seen the sun rise with the rest, To cheer us on our way. The verdure in the East was dressed, In a delicate hue. A golden green it did possess, The grass was wet with dew. A shower came that afternoon, Just before we took our stroll, It made our pace a little damp, Although the air was cool. I'll never forget that summer eve, That lovely sunset sky, The golden rays upon the clouds, Shone on my chum and I. "THE SILVER LINING" to a cloud, We all have oft been told, Is always there, we may see it not. But this was made of gold. "Samble I" said unto my chum, "Will it splash? We will always be as true as gold, While thro' this world we gilde. I love you, my dear she said, With looks I could not doubt, And by that time the sun had set, The clouds had faded out, The Lord of Host is with us now. And Who will always be, He'll show His love upon the clouds, On land and on the sea. By Miss J, Anna Hall. Real Estate, Loan, Insurance. For real estate, loan, and insurance, call on L. S.

The nurs- es are tidy and polite and take a deep interest in the patients upon whom they are called to nurse. One thing that is gratifying to the pub- lic and to the physicians particular- ly is, that the abhorrence which the people once had in going to the ospitals for treatment has about dissppeared and now they have but very little’ tronble in getting their pabieats consent to be sent to a hos- ital. x The medical staff consists of Dra. T. James Davis, superintendent; O. Bryané Whaley, secretary; J. H. Bugg, S. P. Loyd, J. W. Williams, W. ©. Blackman, P. E. Love and (. B.

The first church visited was the St. James Tabernacle of which that pi- ous and broad hearted man, the Rev. Dr. Cooper is pastor. Rev. Dr. Cooper after preaching a very fine eermon introduced the physi- ciana who spoke in glowing terma of the work; the people having list- ened attentively responded most liberally to the.macedonian call. Last Sunday evening the Second Baptist Church over which the learned and eloquent Dr. J. J. Dur- ham go gracefully presides, was visit- ed. The doctor who is greatly en- thnsed over the work took on this cocasion @ very sppropriste text which was most beautifully illuetra- ted as he alone can do; after which he turned the entire church over to the visiting physicians who spoke at length to the Soagregation, The people were greatly edified by the talk which was clearly demonstrat- ed by the way which they got their money. ‘To-morrow night (Sunday) they will visit the First African Baptist Church of which Rev. Dr. Carr is pastor. Death of Mr. Wilson. Mr. Geo.

The Biddles returned -the fire after jumping out ot the sletsh. ‘Mrs. Soffel’s wound wa sthrough the breast. Edward Biddle was shot in the left arm, in the breast and in one leg. , John Biddle was riddled with’ buckshot in the breast and head. It was only a question of time when the officers who set out pn the chase would catch up with the escaping sondemned murderers end thelr com- panion. The Blddles and Mrs. Soifel ate dinner at J. J. Stevens, at Maant ‘Chestnut, five miles cast of Butler, The Pittsburg officers reached Mount Chestnut rot less than half an hour after the Biddles and Mrs. Sot- fel, At this point frestr horses ‘were secured and the chase for life began. The two sleighs, with the eight off- cers aboard}: started westward and met the Bidiles and Mrs, Soffel at 3c- Clure’s barn, two miles from Mount Prospect. .The Biddles, having learn- éd thet: they ‘were almost overtaken and taking what they considered the ‘only chance they had, drove eastward and met their doom, ..The, Pittsburg and other officers were armiod with wincHester rifles and revolvers ot jarge calibre. They shot to Kilt and their aim was perfect. The Biddles tried to kill to the last of thelr string, but not one of the eight off cers has a wound as the result of the battle. Woman Fired at Officers. ‘When the detectives got within six’ ty yards of the fugitives they opened fire. ‘The Bidiles promptly -dnswered with “shotguns and‘ revolvers. Mrs Softél, to, Stood up in the sleigh with a revolvers jn each hand and blazed away at her pursuers. When Ed Bid- dle fell and she saw she was about to be captured she fired 4 bullet into her breast, it is claimed. An examina. tion by physicians shows that she will recover,’ as ithe. bullet was deflected by ber corset and the woufid Is com. paratively slight. ‘The escape of the officess is mirac vlous.

Sanator Hoar Advises Young Man on . ‘This Sublect. In inanaging his Voice, the speaker; when hé 1s ehgaged In carnest, con: versation; Commionly and naturally falls into the best téne and imanner for public speaking. Suppose you arc sitting About a lablé with a dozer friends, ind some stibject is started in which you are desply interested. You engage in an earnest and serious dialogue with ore of them at the other end of the table. You are perfectly at case, not caring In the least for your manner of tone of yolce, but only for your thought. The tone “you adopt then will ordinarily be the best tone for you in public speaking. You can, however, learn from teachers of filendly critics to avold any harsh or disagreeable fashion of spcech that you tay lave fallen fnto, and that may be habitual to you in private con- yersation, : Dext. Never etrain your yocal ar ‘sans by attempting to Sil spaces which are too large for you, Speak as loudly and distinctly as you can do easily, and let the moro distant por- Uons of your audiezce go. You will find in that way very soon that your voice will fncrease in compass and power, and you will do better than bq a habit of straining the voice be- yond Its natural capacity. Be carc- Tul to avoid falscetto. Shun Imitating ‘the tricks of specch of other orators, even of famous and successful orat- ors, These may do for them, but not, for you. You will do no better, Jn at- ‘tempting to imitate the tricks of | spgech of other men In: publi speak ing than in private speaking, - Never make a gesture for the sake of inaking one. I belleve that most of | tne successful speakers whom I know | would find it hard to tell you whether they themselves make gestures or not, they are so absolutely unconselous in ‘the matter. But with gestures as with the voice, get teachers or friendly critics to point out to you any vad habit you may fall Into., I think it would be well if our young public speakers, especially preachers, would heve competent instructors and critics | among thelr auditors, dfter they enter ‘their profession, to give them the benefit of such observations and coun- sel as may be sugggested In that way. | —From “Oratory,” by Senator George F.
