MARK HANNA WINNER McLaurin Only Senator from Democratic State to Vote for Measure. Allison, Spooner and Other Republicans Against It. A Washington special says: After prolonged debate the senate Monday passed the ship subsidy bill, the final vote upon the measure being 42 to 31. Senators Allison and Dolliver, of Iowa; Spooner and Quarles, of Wisconsin, and Proctor and Dillingham, of Vermont, republicans, voted against final passage of the bill, and Senator McLaurin, of South Carolina, voted for it. The vote in detail was as follows: Yeas—Aldrich, Bard, Beveridge, Burnham, Burrows, Clarke of Wyoming, Cullom, DeBoe, Depew, Detrich, Dryden, Elkins, Falbanks, Foraker, Foster of Washington, Frye, Gallinger, Gamble, Hale, Hanna, Hansbrough, Hawley, Hoar, Jones of Nebraska, Kean, Kearns, Kittredge, McComas, McCumber, McLaurin of South Carolina, McMillan, Mason, Mitchell, Nelson, Penrose, Perkins, Platt of Connecticut, Scott, Warren, Wellington, Wetmore—42. Nays—Allison, Bacon, Balley, Bate, Berry, Blackburn, Carmack, Clark of Montana, Clay, Cockrell, Culberson, Dillham, Doliver, Dubols, Foster of Louisiana, Gibson, Harris, Holfield, McLaurin of Mississippi, Mallory, Martin, Money, Patterson, Pettus, Proctor, Quarles, Rawlins, Spooner, Tallferro, Teller, Vest—31. Senator Clay, of Georgia, figured successfully in a spirited debate and interesting colloquy with Senator Hanna over the shipping bill. The Clash between the senators from Georgia and Ohio was the feature of the day's proceedings prior to the vote on the bill. The galleries were crowded and nearly every senator was in his seat as the running debate drew to a close proceeding under the fifteen minute rule. Senator Hanna endeavored to brace up weak points in his pct measure by indulging in appeals to patrolism and generalities without attempting reply to any of the leading questions put to him by critics of the bill, notably Senators Clay, Vest and Spooner. Senator Clay followed Senator Hanna and chided him, as godfather of the bill, for failing to answer questions asked him by Senator Spooner and others. Senator Hanna had asserted that a majority of sailors on American ships engaged in the foreign carClay denied the statement and produced records to show that 70 per cent of the seamen on these ships are foreigners. The figures quoted by Senator Clay apparently confused Senator Hanna, for he did not pursue the subject further. The fact that the six republican senators voted with the democrats against the bill gives much concern to the special advocates of the measure because they fear, with even that amount of encouragement from republican senators, opposition to the measure will develop decided strength in the house. The action of Senators Allison, Spooner and their colleagues from Iowa and Wisconsin is regarded as indicating special opposition from the section of the west from which these men hall. Speaker Henderson is not at all friendly to the measure and, with the backing of both senators from his state, is likely to prove a stumbling block in the way of the bill. The Alger-Sullivan syndicate at Pensacola has a large force of tracklayers, carpenters, electricians and laborers at work on Sullivan's wharf there, making improvements preparatory to exporting immense quantities of timber and lumber through that port from their mills at Century. Spur tracks are being run to the water's edge from the tracks of the Louisville and Nashville railroad POWDERLY TO BE FIRED. Frank Sargent Slated For Commissioner of Immigration. The position of commissioner general of immigration has been tendered by the president to Frank P. Sargent, president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, who will succeed T. V. Powderly, the present incumbent. It is understood that the reason for the president's action in desiring to relieve Mr. Powderly is because he has not worked in harmony with the higher officials of the treasury department, which has resulted in more or less friction. Summary of Contents of Measure Passed In Senate Giving Bounty to American Shipowners. "To provide, for ocean mail service between the United States and foreign ports and the common defense; to promote commerce and to encourage the deep sea fisheries." Tittle 1 of the measure passed deals with ocean mall steamships and their subsidies. The postal subsidy act of 1891 is so amended as to direct the postmaster general to enter into contracts for not less than five, nor more than fifteen years, with American citizens, for the carrying of malls on American steamships to such foreign points as will best promote the postal commercial and maritime interests of the United States; the mall service on such line to be equitably distributed among Atlantic, Mexican gulf and Pacific ports, and the contracts to be made with the lowest responsible bidder. The vessels employed in the mall service shall be American built, and owned and officered by American citizens; during the next three years one-third must be American citizens, and during the remaining life of the contract at least one-half must, be American citizens. The ships must be screw ships of iron or steel and divided into the following classes, according to speed: First, 20 knots or over; second, 19 knots; third, 18 knots; fourth, 17 knots; fifth, 16 knots; sixth, 15 knots; seventh, 14 knots. The rate of compensation for ocean mall service, to be paid per gross registered ton, for each 100 nautical miles sailed from the port of clearance in the United States to the port of entry in the United States, according to the route required by the postoffice department, shall not exceed the following: Steamships of the first class, 2.7 cents; second, 2.5 cents; third, 2.3 cents; fourth, 2.1 cents; fifth, 1.9 cents; sixth, 1.7 cents; seventh, 1.5 cents. The rates of compensation to any vessel carrying mails to a foreign port in North America shall not exceed 70 per cent of the maximum rates established. Title 2 of the bill provides for the general subsidy to be paid. It directs the secretary of the treasury to pay to the owners of any vessel in therying trade are Americans. Senator United States-duly registered and engaged in the foreign trade of the United States a compensation amounting to one cent per gross registered ton for each 1,000 nautical miles sailed, not exceeding sixteen entries in any one year; and on each entry, not exceeding sixteen in any one year, for a period of five years from the date of registration of a vessel of 1,000 grosstons, which shall be completed after the passage of this bill, one-fourth of one cent per gross ton each 100 nautical miles sailed, in addition to the above mentioned compensation. The bill specifies certain vessels which shall not receive compensation under its provisions, among them being vessels engaged in the coastwise trade exclusively. Each subsigized vessel is required to carry as a member of its company one American boy for each 1,000 gross tons, who shall be taught scammanship and engineering. The owners of the vessel must agree before receiving compensation that the ship in emergency may be used for the United States for the national defense or for any public service, at a fair valuation. Title 3 of the bill directs the secretary of the treasury to pay to the owner of a documented vessel engaged in deep sea fishery for at least three months in any one year $2 per gross ton per annum, provided that at least one-third of the crew shall be citizens of the United States; and he is directed to pay also to a citizen of the United States serving as a member of such crew $1 per month for the time he is necessarily employed. $ Title 4 provides that no vessel shall be given compensation under two or more titles of this act at the same time; that a subsidized vessel shall not be sold to a subject of a foreign power; and that the president of the United-States shall cause proper regulations to be framed for the execution of this act TRIBUTES PAID TO ALTGELD. At Funeral His Sincerity and Courage Was Subject of Two Orations. Funeral services over the body of the late John P. Altgeld, former governor of Illinois, were held at the Altgeld home in Sheridan Park, Chicago, Friday. Rev. Frank Crane, of the People's church, preached the funeral sermon, and Clarence S. Darrow, the ex-governor's law partner, delivered an address. Both speaker's paid tributes to the sincerity and courage of Mr. Altgeld. The Boer envoys, Wolimars and Wessels, and Montague White were present at the funeral. A RAGING BLIZZARD In Northwest Whelms Trains Under Mountains of Snow. Starvation Tlreatens Passengers Tled Up In North Dakota—Blizzard Is Worst Experienced In Years According to Sunday's dispatches from St. Paul, North Dakota and the Canadian northwest has experienced the worst snow storm in many years, and railroad traffic is practically paralyzed. The Northern Pacific and the Great Northern have not moved a wheel for nearly thirty-six hours in the blizzard-strict on district and have abandoned all efforts to do so until the fury of the storm shall abate. The high wind has piled the snow in the mountains and packed it in solid masses, many deeds cuts being entirely filled. The tem perature has been gradually falling and is now at or below the zero mark. Not a transcontinental train has arrived r.t. St. Paul since Friday, and is expected for several days. The Northern Pacific reports its westbound c. st. trains, which left St. Paul Saturday morning, tied up at Fargo, the road beyond there being blocked. It will start a coast-bound train at once, and hopes to be able to get it through. The eastbound train due in St. Paul Saturday morning is held at Mandan, N. Dak., and no attempt will be made to move it. Every effort is being trade by the road to keep its passengers who are snow-bound warm and well fed and for this reason trains are being held at stations where the accommodations are good, rather than attempt to get them through, with a possibility of being tied up between stations. The Red Valley division of the Northern Pacific, between Frankfort and Winnipeg, is entirely abandoned. No trains have attempted to run since Friday night, and the exact conditions on this division are not known by the general offices, as most of the telegraph wires have been carried down by the burden of sleet that preceded the heavy snowfall. The situation on the Great Northern is equally bad. The line is tied up entirely between Grand Forks and Williston, N. Dak., a distance of about 35 miles, and all wires have been lost beyond Fargo. All communication with western Dakota and Montana has been lost. So fierce has been the storm that it has been inadvisable to attempt to recopen the road until it abates. The branch of the Great Northern running to Winnipeg is also tied up. No trains have been started northward since Friday night and those that were caught out of the road by the ssorm have been held at that station near the border. Winnipeg is reported entirely cut off from railroad communication with the outside world. The Canadian Pacific transcontinental trains are snowbound and no prospect of relief is yetet in sight. The storm started on Friday, being preceded by a light rainfall and accompanied by high winds. The rain soon turned to sleet and then to snow, and this has fallen without cessation for more than thirty-six hours. The terrific gale drifted the snow badly and it is next to impossible to wade through it. So far as known there has been no loss of life, but owing to the demoralized condition of the wires little news has been received from the remote districts. The farmers hall the adized condition of the wires, little news has been received from the remote vent of snow with delight, as the ground has been very dry, and the moisture will put it in excellent shape for the spring seeding. Arsenal Burns, Heavy Loss Adlecs from Santiago de Chile state that a section of the naval arsenal at Valparaiso has been destroyed by fire. The loss is placed at $1,000,000. EXPLOSION IN POWDER MILL. Building Wrecked, Causing Death of One Employee and Injuring of Many. An explosion in the powder mixing department of the Fellmont Manufacturing Company at Cleveland, Ohio, early Saturday resulted in the death of one girl employee, while at least seven others were seriously injured. The cause of the explosion is not known. The front of the two-story frame building was blown completely out and the plant gutted by fire which followed the explosion. The company manufactures, railroad torpedoes. The pecuniary loss will not exceed $10,000. OTHS TALKS TO COMMITTEE. Eretwhile Military Head in Philippines Teils Senate Representatives That War is Ended. A Washington dispatch says: Major General Otis again appeared before the senate committee on the Philippines Tuesday. When he left the Philippines in May, 1900, General Otis said that the army had disposed of all of Aguinaldo's army, quiet prevailed during the months of May and June, and hardly a shot was fired. It was safe to go to all parts of Luzon and other islands, and a very large trade had been set up, also the supreme court and courts of first instance in seven of the nineteen provinces of Luzon. General Otis, answering a question by Senator Culberson, said he never trusted native officers because they were too cruel to their men. He said he could trust their loyalty, but they treated their captives with too much cruelty. "They were as bad as the insurgents," said he. When he left the Philippines, he says the war, as war, had ceased. Answering a question by Senator Hale, General Otis said he saw no difficulty in withdrawing a material number of troops from the islands. The native forces, he declared, to be very necessary, and he said there was no peace in Manila until the native police was organized. General Otis said that when he left Manila he apprehended further trouble because there was a certain element which dominated the ignorant element. The great majority, however, wanted peace. No aimed bands of any importance, he said, were opposed to the United States an that time. Asked by Senator Hale where the supplies, money, arms, etc., of the insurgents came from, General Otis said they received 2,500 rifles from Admiral Dewey and they also received from Hong Kong certain arms, shipped aboard an American vessel, which landed at Batangas. They had received some arms from Japan and had captured some from the Spaniards at small garrisons which they attacked. He said the merchants gave him more trouble than the insurgents themselves. The troops of the United States had treated the Filipinos with the greatest kindness. Every statement of harsh treatment he heard of had been investigated. "In fact," said he, "we were laughed at by the Spaniards and the European army officers for the humanity exercised." As to the capacity of the Fillipinos for self-government, he said that Aguinaldo's former secretary of state had told him that it would take one hundred years to accomplish this. General Otis said that the Fillipinos were not capable of self-government. General Otis testified, in response to questions by Senator Rawlins, that he knew very little of the correspondence between Merritt and Aguinaldo, but he revalled Aguinaldo's reply to a communication referring to an agreement to a certain point designated. He had himself directed Aguinaldo to withdraw to the suburbs of Manila, outside the American defenses, according to the terms of the protocol with Spain. This was not only a military necessity, but in accordance with right and duty. No nation in the world said he, except the United States, would have allowed those people, to have hemmed us in the way they did. The order for their withdrawal was made solely in the interests of peace. STEAMBOAT PIER.BURNED. Vessels, Cotton Bales and Miscellaneous Carges Totally Destroyed. A swift and, in many details, a picturesque fire Tuesday night destroyed the pier of the Phenix steamship line on the Hoboken, N. J., river front, with many bales of cotton and hay; burned that company's vessel, the British Queen, to a hulk; consumed several lighters and their cargoes; damaged an adjacent dock and for a time threatened the property of the Holland-American line and the huge Campbell stores. The loss, according to latest estimates, will approximate $1,000,000. Whether any lives were lost was most difficult to learn. Injunction Proceedings Started In Kansas City By: Attorney Day. Injunction proceedings have been started in Kansas City by Attorney William A. Day, of the Interstate commerce commission, against the following railroads, operating between Kansas City, St. Louis and Chicago; Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe; Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific; Missouri Pacific; Wabash; Chicago, Burlington and Quincy; Chicago Great Western; Chicago and Alton; Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul. AGED WIDOW SLAIN Horrible Crime of Two Brutes in Human Form. MURDERERS 'LANDED IN JAIL Mrs. Blake, Verging on Seventy-Five Years and Living Near Gainesville, Ga., the Victim—Body Horribly Outraged. Mrs. Christina Blake, an aged widow, probably seventy-five years old, living 5 miles south of Gainesville, Ga., was outraged Monday and afterwards brutally murdered by two white men, both well known in Gainesville. The men held for the double crime are J. C. Stover and Charley Pirkle, his brother in law. When Mrs. Blake's dead body was found in her house, her clothing torn and disarranged, the two men held for murdering her were lying stupefied with whiskey within a few feet of the corpse, which was scarcely cold. They had committed the crime and had made to effort no escape. They were carried at once to Gainesville and placed in jail. The body of Mrs. Blake was beaten up horribly, and from scratches on the hands of the two men she met death only after resistance. Stover and Pirkle had gone to Flowery Branch in the morning and received a case of eleven bottles of whisky. They started far home in a wagon. The men drank heavily. On the way home they stopped at the house of Mrs. Blake and entered, for what reason is not known. They were quarrelsome and soon raised a row. Mrs. Jack Evans, the adopted daughter of Mrs. Blake, became frightened and ran to the field to get her husband. When she returned with help the dead body of the aged woman lay prostrate on the floor! On either side of her were the murderers too drunk to move. They were tled hand and foot, and Judge Estes, of Galnesville, immediately telephone. He acted promptly. In addition to the bruises found on the body, the neck showed signs that death had been caused by choking, finger marks being plainly visible. Evidences of another crime were also apparent. Stover is a man between twenty-five and thirty. Plrkle is a boy of about eighteen. Stover has a wife and family. The prompt action of Judge Estes in ordering the men incarcerated as soon as he learned of the murder is doubtless responsible for preventing the swift administration of lynch law. The people in the vicinity of Flowery Branch, which is near the scene of the crime, are worked up to a high pitch of excitement, and violence seemed imminent. LIFE SAVERS GO DOWN. In Heroic Effort to Rescue Others They Find Watery Graves Seven life savers—practically the entire crew of the Monomoy station on the southern end of Cape Cod—met death Monday at their post of duty and with them went down five men from the stranded barge Wadena, whom they tried to bring in safety to the shore. All of the life savers came from Cuxhaven and Harwich. The names of the life savers are as follows: Marshal N. Eldridge, keeper; Edgar Small, Elijah Kendrick, Osborne Charles, Arthur Rogers, Isaac Thomas F-Loye, Valentine Nickerson. Those lost from the barge are as follows: William H. Mack, Captain Christian, Olsen, Robert Molineaux, Walter A. Zeved, Manuel Enos. NELLIE'S SISTER TESTIFIES. Olle Cropsey Tells of Quarrels Between Wilcox and the Dead Girl. At Elizabeth City Monday Miss Olle Cropsey, a sister of the dead girl, testified in the Wilcox trial. She said that Wilcox had been very attentive to Nellie since June of 1898. They were on friendly, terms until September of last year, when they began to quarrel. Wilcox called after they quarreled in September, but Nellie would hardly speak to him. The night Nellie disappeared, witness said, Wilcox called and sat in the parlor till 11 o'clock, when he asked Nellie to speak with him in the hall. She was never again seen alive by any member of the family. Wilcox, according to the witness, said he left her on the porch crying. President Pollock, of Mercer university, wants the bequest of the late James A. Gray, of Jones county, Gax for the education of indigent students of that county, changed in wording from "gift" to "loan." The Jones county people oppose the change. NO 24. The New Industries Reported In the South During the Past Week. Must Stand Trial For Murder of Her Husband, an Atlanta Policeman. The Fulton county grand jury, In session at Atlanta, Ga., Tuesday, indicted Mrs. Mollie E. Duncan for the murder of her husband, Policeman James Duncan, whom she shot three weeks ago in a room at 51 N. Forsyth street. At that time she claimed he was trying to kill his son by a former marriage. This is the third time the grand jury has taken up the case, which presented some very complex and unusual features. The trial on the indictment will be held next week, at which time Judge John S. Candler convenes the city criminal court. In addition to the Duncan case, the Granade Pope murder trial will be held, as well as those of several other notable cases. SATURDAY MARUH 22,1902 BAD manners are repugnant in every sphere of life, and this much should be doubly impressed upon the minds of a certain class of our young boys and girls. The constant insults that are being cast upon our people by those who should be among the ones to encourage them, should only spur each member of the race to bend his energies to improve on every line for good. THE announcement of the death of Rev. Leigh Benjamin Maxwell was a shock to his host of friends and admirers. It was known for sometime that he was seriously ill and that the end was near, yet when it came the shock was felt. No man who had attained the prominence of Mr. Maxwell was more beloved and respected. His was a life of exemplary action. All of his actions were consonant with his timely advice. By his death the young men have lost a friend and a noble example and the race a leader indeed. THE Crumpacker's resolution to investigate the alleged disfranchisement of voters in some of the states will be reported favorably by a majority of the committee it was referred to sometime ago. This has caused a howl among the Democrats because they are aware of the fact that if a thorough investigation is had two thirds of the states under their control would be shown up in a bad light and if laws be passed remedying the evil they would lose what little hold they have in the national body. We are interested in this contemplated investigation because our people is concerned and hope that it would be done thoroughly. A telegraphic dispute from Washington says: President Roosevelt has decided to reappoint J. H. Deveaux collector at the port of Savannah. The announcement was officially made at the White House to-day by Secretary Cortelyou. The determination of the President to re-appoint Deveaux causes no surprise to those who are familiar with the situation. The excellent official record of Collector Deveaux, notwithstanding his color, was the strongest factor in his favor; besides the President felt that under the circumstances he could not ignore the united support of the Republican organization in Georgia. When Deveaux was here several weeks ago the President told him to go back to Savannah and attend to his business, giving him assurances that he would be re-appointed. The free library matter is again under discussion. Mr. Carnegie has written Mayor Myers that, he will give the city a free library after it submits the amount it will give towards its support. A suggestion was made sometime ago to have the Georgia Historical Society control the library so as to keep undesirable persons away. Mr. Carnegie became aware of it and in his letter to the Mayor says that he "fears that the Historical Society from its tradition would not accommodate itself to the wants of the masses of people. Its field is different; not less important but different." This puts the situation in a clear light and we hope that Mr. Carnegie would act accordingly. In this matter the colored citizens is an important factor, they are tax payers and should be considered. They are as deserving of the benefits of a free library especially when they will pay their proportion of tax for it, as much so as any other class of citizens. COL. MERCER, president of the Board of Education is emphatically against the door of the proposed free library being opened to colored people: He say that "The Negroes had not reached the state of advancement where they could be turned at large in such an institution as a public library. If so about half of the books would soon be found in the pawnshops." We are aware of Col. Mercer's attitude toward our use of the proposed library and surely credit him for his emphatic declaration and in the same manner do we refute his slur upon the race. If the use of the library was allowed us only the better element would take advantage of it, and who can gain say the honesty and uprightness of this element but those whose minds are tainted with prejudice? Col. Mercer and the others who are opposed to our people visiting the proposed library should base their opposition on other grounds and refrain from insulting a people that has always proven true to every trust imposed upon them. THE MISSING MAN REV. LEIGH B. MAXWELL. REV. L. B. MAXWELL. The Brilliant and Accomplished Scholar, Pastor, And Lecturer Passed to His Reward. Tuesday a little after noon a telegram was received by us announcing the death of Rev. Leigh B. Maxwell in Los Angeles, Cal., where he had gone over four months ago hoping to regain his health; but it became evident very soon that the change and climate did not do as much for him as was expected it would, still his friends hoped that he would have been spared to die upon Georgia soil. "But He who doeth all things well," willed otherwise, and after this long struggle of nearly a year, displaying all the sweet resignation and heroism of a true child of God, he wrapped the drapery of his couch about him and lay down to quiet dreams. His funeral services will be held to-morrow, Sunday, in Atlanta. His life was short, reckoned by the number of years; but reckoned from services, usefulness, and good deeds, was full. As a worker, whether as pastor, teacher or Sunday School lecturer, he was untiring, and whatever he did, he did well. The subject of his graduating speech at the Atlanta University in 1885 was "A Man is a Man for a That." This thought seemed to have nerved him throughout his whole life, and so without any adventitious surroundings of birth or help or rich friends he worked his way from the little town of Darien to be known throughout the Southland, and in some parts of the North and East as one of the brightest and safest moral leaders of his race. He was pastor of the First Congregational Church of this city for nearly twelve years, and was for nearly five years international Sunday School lecturer for the colored people. How well he did his work as pastor, the people of this city both white and black can testify. He was so proficient and ripe as a Sunday School lecturer that he was often invited and did lecture to white Sunday School conventions and workers in the South and was royally treated by them. It will be hard to find a man to succeed him, so well adapted and so well prepared for the special work in which he was engaged. But when we remember the work is God's and the men are God's we console ourselves that He is able and will provide men and means for the work which he has planned. Rev. Leigh Benjamin Maxwell was born at Darien, Ga., October 1861. He was the son of Philip and Sarah Forister Maxwell. His father has been dead over ten years, his mother is in her seventy-eighth year. He attended the schools such as were around Darien until his sixteenth year. In the fall of 77 he attended the Atlanta University. During his summer vacations he taught schools in middle Georgia, remaining longest at Shady Dale, Jasper County. At college he early became a Christian and because of his earnestness, fidelity to duty became of much service to both students, and teachers. As he finished delivering his graduating speech in June 1886, Governor Colquit stepped to him, shook his hands and congratulated him on his noble effort. He, early in life decided to be a minister and having secured a scholarship at his graduation from college he decided to attend the theo- logical school at Hosmer Hall, Hartford, Conn. The summer of 1886 he supplied the Congregational church as pastor three months and gave such satisfaction that he was recalled the next summer and at the end of this second summer's work he was elected pastor. He served the church one year and was permitted by them to return to Hartford to the theological seminary, upon his leaving securing a competent supply. After finishing his theological course he was permanently settled as pastor and remained as such until resigning to take larger work as International Sunday School worker. During the second year of his pastorate here he was married to Miss Clara Thomas also a graduate of Atlanta University who survives him with four children, three girls and one boy. This devoted wife was in everyway a noble and true helpmate. It was permitted to her to attend him through all his sickness and also to be present with him as he gave up his soul to God. "Though dead he still lives." OUR success in life is only partial. We must work hard to retain that which we have and more too. A LARGE number of our subscribers out of the city owe us quite an amount for subscription. We have been very lenient with them, but on account of their negligence in making settlements we are compelled to take other steps to secure the same. All of these accounts that are not settled by April 15, will be placed in the hands of a collecting agency. We hope that these subscribers will take due notice of the same. For Charity's Sake. The Charity Hospital is an institution run by colored people and receives its help from the masses, except a small donation from the city. It was named the McKane Hospital, from its founder. But to further its capacity for good in the community and make it a real progressive home for the sick and also trained nurse school, the colored physicians of the city numbering about eighty book hold and care the things or which name imply. To do this, they banded themselves together with others of which are numbered representative male and female. It required no little work to accomplish this task; but by ardently sticking to it, they have produced a hospital destined to grow to large dimensions making it itself a place of things or which name imply. They then compose its faculty taking care of the clinical work, and to say that they have done good work is a matter of fact, they do. If the colored public did half as well towards it as these individuals, considering too that they are in the majority, the hospital has grown to year two, capable to cope successfully with other like institutions. But we do not stop to think of these matters, we instead go on from day to day believing that a hospital grows and thrives in all probability like a store, a bank or something, having an income of large propositions to keep it going, and so. If the people connected with it did not succeed soon fail. A store, a bank, or in fact any kind of business derives its support through trade giving and taking and is under no special obligation. They give value for coin or collateral on the spot or in a designated time. With a hospita it is altogether different. We give there turns, save the satisfaction of knowing we have helped suffering humanity with our alms. It may be that we don't have to go there just yet; who of us can tell however, but what some day it may be expedient, if not from shire poverty we would gladly accept a ward in a hospital and a charity hospital at that, that there is no telling. This is not a bad thing, but neither can one soof it at without an inward feeling, if they possess a conscience, Every body can help, they do not ask for dollars, pennies will do if there are enough of them. To the plan, let every head of a household say I will put aside a few pennies a week for the Charity Hospital and one teach little children. This will help little children, each family could assist handsomely in furthering the prospects and ultimate success of one of the grandest moves ever made by our people. The trained nurse department is an important feature at the Hospital of which some attention should but do not seem to be directed. This is a vocation that is coming into demand and more and more every day, and it is not plainly to be seen why more of our young students are training. Is commands good wages the year round and there are always something to do at it. A good trained nurse can make $40 to $80 a month any time, any where. Young men too, for that matter can be trained as well as women. There are many other reasons for training. Surely $40 to $80 a month is better than hanging on at sometimes nothing a month. Besides this, there are men who are too busy, and for other reasons to sit with their lodge brethren, who would give $1.00 to a student for sitting at night from about ten to six and think nothing of it. It is also a good idea for them to learn something in accord with the work, also make enough to keep the wolf from the door. The day is coming and it is not far off, when some will wish they had availed themselves of this grand opportunity. Wethk the matter carefully and see if it is not a good way to become independent of the world and its vultitudes—Charity St. Phillips Church Dots. Sunday was a disagreeable day notwithstanding the services were held Rev. Cargile preached at 11 o'clock. Text Matthew 9-38, Subject: Workman pray ye therefore the Lord of harvest that he will send laborers into his harvest. The sermon was interesting throughout and every one that heard it was gratified. The doors and of the church were opened quite a number of persons who were converted during the past week connected themselves with the church At 8 p. m. Rev. J. A. Jones delivered quite an interesting discourse, the congregation singing hymn 608 "O What A Friend We Have in Jesus" The text was Matthew 8-25 We had a good many converts at our revival meeting. Everybody is preparing for Easter. The Sunday school will have their annual Easter exercises. Prof. Baldwin promises a good program. The four divisions expect to make a good report on the second Sunday in May as they want to raise $1,200. Mrs W H Smith wife of brother W H Smith died very suddenly on last Wednesday night and was burried from St. Philips on Friday afternoon. Sister Smith was an old member of St. Philips and the church has lost a good and faithful member. Confirmation Services. Bishop Nelson will administer the rite of confirmation to a large class to-morrow evening at 8 o'clock. On Wednesday and Thursday evenings there will be services at 8 o'clock. On Good Friday at 7:30 a.m, 12 and 3 p.m, the three hours service commemorating the sufferings and sayings of our Lord on the cross, and at 8 p.m the story of the cross will be sung. A cordial invitation to all. Easter Services. The work of St. Philips Monumental church, New street, is pushing towards completion. Easter Sunday will be doubly celebrated in the. Old Church not only as the day commemorative of the resurrection of our Savior but it will be the first service held in the auditorium of the church since the destructive storm of 1896 completely demolished that historical building and scattered the large congregation, the most of which left and purchased the more desirable site on the corner of West Broad and Charles Sta., and others went to various other churches, a faithful few remained at the old spot, and under the leadership of Bishop H. M. Turner, commenced the work of rebuilding. After some difficulties the work has reached the present stage, and at 4 o'clock Easter morning, Bishop Turner will lead the march from the basement where services have been held for the past five years to the auditorium. The citizens generally will rejoice at the rebuilding of the old church and the public is invited to attend the services on Easter. An excellent program will be carried out. Among the participanta will be Bishop H. M. Turner, of Atlanta who will preach the resurrection sermon at 4 a. m. Presiding Elders R. M. S. Taylor, T. N. M. Smith D. D., C. Max Manning, D. D., J. A. Wood, D. D., and prominent visitors with the pastors of the city. President R. R. Wright, L. L. D., will deliver an address at night. A Revival Meeting. On last Sunday morning Rev. T. M. Williamson the young pastor of the F. A. B. Church, Bolton street, preached an eloquent and soul stirring sermon from the subject, "Obedience as essential to Christian purity." At night his subject was the "Song of the redeemed." Notwithstanding the inclement weather, there was a large crowd at each service during the day. Rev. Williamson is beloved by his members. He has made a favorable impression on the public. He is succeeding admirably well, and his revival is growing in interest each night. He has a goodly number for baptism already and will continue the meetings three weeks longer. After the spiritual revival is over, he will start a financial revival. Every member is requested to give ten dollars on rally day which is the second Sunday in May. They are to repeat this sum in July. Two thousand dollars is the mark. The new church edifice will be started in September and finished at least by FOYE & ECKSTEIN LOOKING FOR BARGAINS. 'TIs not necessary to search long when your eyes and footsteps are in the right direction. 'Tis said by people who know, that this house is the best place to supply your wants, either in right quality—and in proper prices. The goods we sell are of the best makes and no error is committed when you come and fill your wants from the Merchandise sold at this big store. December next. Rev. Williamson has some of the best church workers in Savannah, and when they start a thing they mean to succeed. They are well pleased with their pastor, and will willingly work under his direction. Hospital Dots. Sunday night last the physicians visited St. John's church on Hartridge street. Notwithstanding the inclement weather there was a good congregation. We listened to a forceful and Holy Ghost sermon by Rev. Gray by which we were all instructed and uplifted, there was not a one but who could say "it is good to be here." The singing was especially good and we enjoyed it very much. Dr. W. C. Blackman after, thanking Rev. Gray for the courtesie of the evening and complimenting the congregation for the substantial and beautiful edifice they are erecting, Dr. Davis was introduced, who spoke a few minutes concerning one object and the interest of the Hospital. Considering the bad night we were given $5.15 which we think especially good. And too, we know that the pastor and members are laboring hard to finish their church. We are very grateful. Mrs. Amelia Cochran gave the hospital one pillow case, one sheet, three towels and one invalid bed tray. Cuthbert School Notes.

A Devoted Friend Little Minnie died on Wednesday evening last about 7:30 o'clock. Her death caused the entire TRIBUNE force to be shocked. Minnie was in her thirteenth year, has proven herself faithful and worthy of the regard held for her by those who knew of her excellent qualities Every visitor to THE TRIBUNE office for the past thirteen years has met Minnie and to the constant visitors she was a pet. She will be missed by no one more than the mail carrier, whom she has relieved of many weary climbingings of the stairs in delivering the mail. Minnie was no ordinary dog, and if there is a future for her kind she will be among the best. She was a faithful and devoted friend and as near human as a dog could become. A NEGRO ENTERPRISE.

Crime and Criminals. The Evangelical Ministers' Union met with Rev. Cargle presiding, at the usual hour Tuesday morning at St. Phillips church, West Broad and Charles streets. Devotional services were led by Rev. Lively. The minutes of the last meeting were read and adopted. The committee appointed to draft memorial to be presented to the County Commissioners regarding the erection of a reformatory for youthful criminals, reported that they met the said commissioners and was assured that the matter would be taken up at their earliest convenience and given a deep consideration. The report was recieved and approved. Rev. E J Nelson of the Missionary Baptist Church was introduced and by request made a member. Rev. Brown delivered a lecture on "Crimes and criminals." The speaker discussed the Negro from the standpoints of ethnology, phrenology and social environments. He said that he believed in the division of the human family into races, but he believed that all mankind are species of one race or family. The Negro, ethnologically and phrenologically possesses nothing that makes him more susceptible to vice and crime than any other of the human species. "The white man was in slavery for more than two thousand years during which time he was guilty of committing all kinds of crimes and vices. "The reason why the Negro is charged with so many crimes in this country is because he does not get justice in the courts. The prejudice is so great against him that he is hunted down and judged guilty for petty larceny and fined or punished when there are white men who are guilty of grand larceny yet they are allowed to go free. "Elevate the Negro with the same environments to that of the white man, then crimes with him will be of no more frequent occurrence than it shall be with brother in white. The speaker said that an elephant has more brain than a man, but his environments keep him down. He said the same was true with the dolphin or fish. The address was listened to with unflagging interest throughout. Rev. F R Sims attacked that portion of the speech which compares the elephant with man. He said that there was no chance for the elephant to rise matters not what his social and intellectual environments might be, but with man it is different he rises or falls with his environments. Revs C L Bonner, J W Roberts, I C Cray, W O P Sherman, R S M Taylor, W A Dinkins and Dr A Cooper spoke on the subject. Dr. Brown in his concluding remarks took back what he had said concerning the elephant. Rev. Sims went forward and shook hands with him. The meeting adjourned by singing a hymn and the benediction was pronounced by Rev. Sherman. Their Sixth Anniversary.

"Dear Mrs. Pinkham: — Twelve years continuous service at the sick bed in some of our prominent hospitals, as well as at private homes, has given me varied experiences with the diseases of women. I have nirsed some 1 President of Nurses Association, Watertown, N.J. most distressing cases of inflammation and ulceration of the ovaries and womb. I have known that doctors used Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound when everything else failed, with their patients. I have advised my patients and friends to use it and have yet to hear of its first failure to cure. "Four years ago I had falling of the womb from straining in lifting a heavy patient, and knowing of the value of your Compound I began to use it at once, and in six weeks I was well once more, and have had no trouble since. I am most pleased to have had an opportunity to say a few words in praise of your Vegetable Compound, and shall take every occasion to recommend it." — MISS VIRGINIA GRANES. 80000 fortnite above testimonial to not genital.

Friends of Islanders Gain Their Point at Last. The advocates of Cuban reciprocity scored a decisive victory. Tuesday night at the conference of representatives, the proposition of Chairman Payne, of the ways and means committee, for a 20 per cent reduction of duty, with the Sibley amendment, limiting the duration of the reduced rates to December 1, 1903, being adopted by a vote of 85 yeas to 31 nays. This result was reached at 11:30 o'clock, after a protracted debate followed by a series of exciting roll calls. The first test was when Mr. Payne concluded the speech-making with a motion for the previous question on all pending propositions. This motion prevailed—78 to 56. A vote was then taken on a substitute offered by Representative Dick, of Ohio, in behalf of those opposing the reciprocity plan, offering in its stead a plan of direct payment to Cuba covering several years. This was defeated—57 to 79. An amendment by Mr. Morris, of Minnesota, to take off the differential on refined sugar was defeated—50 to 72. The ways and means proposition for reciprocity, with the Sibley amendment, limiting its duration, was then agreed in—65 to 31. While the voting was in progress quite a number of those who oppose the ways and means plan left the chamber. This was the fifth gathering held for the purpose of seeking to reconcile the differences existing on this subject. About 140 members were in attendance, including Speaker Henderson, Chairman Payne, of the ways and means committee, and others who have figured prominently in the contest. Chairman Payne made a statement of the difficulties encountered by the arbitrating conference, confessing that nothing had been accomplished, as each side had adhered firmly to its original position. Mr. Payne said the position of the ways and means committee now was in effect that presented by Mr. Sibley at the last conference, namely, for 20 per cent reciprocity limited to December, 1903. Representative Dick, of Ohio, one of the confeeers of the element opposing the ways and means committee, while concurring with Mr. Payne that no progress had been made by the arbitrating body toward reaching a solution, said he was still hopeful of an ultimate agreement, and he urged deliberate action in order that harmony might prevail. Measure of Relief. The Payne resolution, as adopted; gives the general form of a bill authorizing the president to negotiate a commercial agreement with Cuba for reciprocal and equivalent concessions, by which the-rates of duty shall be reduced at least 20 per cent ad valorem on all articles imported from Cuba into the United States. It also provides, that the United States immigration and exclusion laws be enacted by the government of Cuba as a preliminary to reciprocity. The Sibley amendment, which is adopted as a part of the Payne resolution, recites that the foregoing 20 per cent reduction shall be "limited in its duration and effect to the 1st day of December, 1903." CUBA'S POLITICAL STATUS. Jenkins Seeks Information of House Judiciary Committee. Representative Jenkins, of Wisconsin, introduced a resolution Tuesday directing the house committee on judiciary to report on a number of questions relating to the political status of Cuba, viz., "Is Cuba, as far as the United States concerned, foreign or domestic territory?" Cabinet Portfolio, Awalts Pension Commissioner, According to Report. Close personal friends of Pension Commissioner H. Clay Evans claim to have information that President Roosevelt will make him secretary of the interior. It is said Secretary Hitchcock will resign soon and that Evans will be offered his place. This will not only silence the opposition to Evans on behalf of the Grand Army of the Republic, but will be a promotion for Evans. It is said the change will occur within thirty days.

It has not been many years since a noted scientist in an exhaustive article, satisfied himself and thousands of others that the telephone could never be brought into practical use. Today it is estimated there are 2,278,000 telephones in use in the United States alone. No man attempts to do business now without the aid of the phone. Business is transacted over the telephone although the parties are separated by thousands of miles. The home and the office are brought together by means of the telephone. These instruments have now invaded the country districts, and the telephone and the free delivery of mail are going hand in hand. Here in Ohio thousands of farmers have the telephone in their homes, and they find it of immense advantage in a business, and social delivery, and yet the telephone is not many years old. Toledo Blade. Buller's Obstinacy. A story told to illustrate the character of Sir Redvers Büller is worth repeating. During the last Nile campaign, while on board a river steamer descending some dangerous water in one of the higher cataracts, Sir Redvers entered into a discussion with Lord Charles Beresford as to the proper channel that should be taken. Each obstinately defended his own course, but in the end that which Sir Redvers recommended was adopted, with the result that the steamer got through without accident. "You see I was right," exclaimed Sir Redvers, triumphantly; "mine was the proper channel." "That was mine, too," coolly replied Lord Charles. "I only recommended the other because I knew you would go against whatever I said." The late editor's wife is something of a humorist." "Indeed?" "Yes.

Lowell, Mass.** One may sail the seas and visit every land and everywhere will find, that men of affairs, who are well informed, have neither the time nor the inclination, whether on pleasure bent or business, to use those medicines which cause excessive purgation and then leave the internal organs in a constipated condition. Syrup of Figs is not built on those lines. It acts naturally, acts effectively, cleanses, sweetens and strengthens the internal organs and leaves them in a healthy condition.

The California Fig Syrup Co. was the first to manufacture a laxative remedy which would give satisfaction to all; a laxative which physicians could sanction and one friend recommend to another; so that today its sales probably exceed all other laxatives combined. In some places considerable quantities of old-time cathartics and modern imitations are still sold, but with the general diffusion of knowledge, as to the best medicinal agents, Syrup of Figs has come into general use with the well-informed, because it is a remedy of known value and ever beneficial action. The quality of Syrup of Figs is due not only to the excellent combination of the laxative and carminative principles of plants, known to act most beneficially on the system, with agreeable and refreshing aromatic liquids, but also to the original method of manufacture. In order to get the genuine and its beneficial effects one should always note the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co—printed on the front of every package.
