BY RAGING ELEMENTS] MR#E QUARTERS OF A MILLION” FRIGHTFUL HORROR'E~ se Noe: To Succeed Richardson as Demo- cratic Campaign Leader. COMMITEE VOTE UNANIMOUS New Leader Represents Younger Ele- ments of Party—Committee Selected to Perfect Organization, A Washington specialSto The At. ‘lanta Constitution states that Judge Jim Griggs, of Georgfa, was elected chairman of the democratic congres- sfonal campaign committee at a meet. ing Fyiday night. The honor came to him by the unanimous vote of his com- mittee associates. His name was pre- sented by Senator Carmack, ef Ten- nessee, who at the outset was counted upon by the opponents of Judge Griggs as representing the element which thought it would be wise to mame some northern man for the chair- manship. The Tennessee senator proved, however one of the strongest supporters of the Georgian. Other members of the committee seconded the nomination, and the election was unanimous. In the discussion of campaign_pros- pects there was every indication of confidence that the democrats have at Teast a fair chance to carry the next house, and members of the committee believe that, with Judge Griggs at their head and with the afd of prominent democrats throughout the country who have signified their intention to co- ‘operate in every way possible, victory is more than a mere possibility. Should the house go democratic as the result of the committce’s manage- ment, one possiblilty is that the popu- lar Georgian who has been selected to take charge of the fight will be ele- vated to the speakership. While Judge Griggs and his friends disclaim any such idea, it is a fact that his candldacy for the chairmanship repre- sented the opposition of the younger element on the democratic side of the house to Major Richardion, of Ten- nessee, the democratic leader. Major Richardson has been chairman of the democratic congressional committee for two campaigns, and the younger element referred to has been anxious fo have a man more nearly represent: ing their views whom they might sup- port for speaker in case of a demo- cratic house, ‘While there fs all sorts of harmony talk now, it is no secret that the lines haye been closely drawn in this chair- manship contest, and that the oppo- nents of Judge Griggs came to bis support only when they found they could not defeat him. The victory is a striking flustration of bis popularity with bis party associates. To Perfect Organization, A committee consisting of the chalr- man, Mr. Griggs; Representative Wil- ams, of Mississippi; Ruppert, of New York; Richardson, of Tennessee; Wil- lams, of Illinois; Jackson, of Kansas, and. Senator Culberson, of Texas, was appointed to perfect a plan of organl- zation for the ensuing congressional campaign and select the remaining officers of the committee, subject to the ratification of a meeting of the full committee to be held April 11. : It is the general understanding that this committee, among other things, will report in favor of the creation of an executive committee, of which ex- Representative Ben T. Cable, of [ill- nols, probably will be chairman, and of a finance committee, of which Lewis Dixon, of New York, probably, will be , Harman. The only other name besides that of Mr. Griggs which was presented to the committee for the chairmanship was that of Representative Cowherd, of Missouri, but his name was with drawn before the vote was taken. Tho committee heard the protests of a faction of the democracy of the District of Columbia against James L. Norris, who was elected to represent the district at a former meeting of the committee, but decided to disregard the protests made. LABOR SCORES VICTORIES. New England Gotton Mills Advance Wages Ten Per Cent. - The advance of 10 per cent which wus granted to the 27,000 employes of Fall River cotton mills early in the month has become general in southern New England. It is estimated that br April 7 fully 60,009 hands In this’ sec- tion will have had their wages increas- ed. The decision of the New Bedford manufacturers to concede the demands of their help was followed early Sat- urday by that of the leading mit] own- ers of Rhode Island, TO EDUCATE THE BRITISHERS, Bulk of Wealth of Cecil Rhodes Goes to Promote His Imperial Plan of Education. The London Daily Mail says thet it Js In a position to assert that the late Cecll Rhodes left the bulk of his for- tune, except som personal and fam- ily bequests, to the promotion of his Vast imperial plan pf education. This project embraces every land over which the Union Jack files. Its pur- pose is the intellectual betterment of the British race throughout the world, and the fostering of the imperial sen- timent. The Dally Mail adds that this idea of better fitting “younger Britain” to cope successfully with rival natfonall- ties was long a.dominant scheme with Cecil Rhodes, but even his closest {rlends Uttle imagined the absorbing hold it obtained upon him until this was disclosed by the terms of his will. The details of this plan of education Will be made pubilc in a few days. State Funeral Program. A special from Cape Town says: “The coffin containing the body of Ce- ceil Rhodes will be conveyed to the par- Namentary buildings here during the morning of April 3 and will lie in state in the vestibule till 3 o'clock in the afternoon, when it wiil be removed to the Anglican cathedral, where the first portion of the burial ‘service will de read. “The funeral procession will after- wards traverse the principal streets of Cape Tawn to the railroad station. Thenco the coffin will be taken by spe- cial train to Buluwayo, stopping for a short time at Kimberley. Only a few Intimate friends will accompany the body to Buluwayo. The coffin, during the funeral procession at Cape Town, will be carrted on the gun carriage of ‘Long Cecil,’ the famous gun used at the siege of Kimberley.” INSURANCE RATES ADVANCED, This Time Dwellings In Atlanta Come Under Order of Association. Fire insurance rates on dwellings in Atlanta, Ga, have been put up 33 1.3 per cent in acordance with an order is. sued by tho Southeastern Tariff Asso: elation, ” On frame dwellings the rate will In ‘the future be 50 cents on the $100, where In the past It has been 35 cents. For contents the rate will be 60 cents on the $100 instead of 45 cents, as heretofore. The rate on brick dwellings, which has been 20 cents on $100, Is now 30 cents, while for contents the rate is 40 cents on the $100 instead of 20 cents. ‘These changes in rates became et: tective last Friday and will apply to all residences written in Atlanta in the future. Insurance men claim that even after the increaso Atlanta has no ground’ to kick, since the rates there will still be lower than they are in any other city in this section. ‘DON'T MENTION IT. 0 Mark Hanna Says He Is Not Hanker- Ing After the Presidency.

WORST RAIN STORM ON RECORD Death List Witt Reach Twenty-Two and Property Damage -May Go as High as Four Millions. The floods in Tennessee, the great est known in many years; have re- sulted in losses aggregating four mil- lion dollars. On the Nashville, Chat- tanooga and St. Louis and Loulsville and Nashville railroads several bridges bsve been damaged. Cumberland; Elk and Duck rivers and thelr tributaries rose rapidly, the rise at Nashville being more than 22 feet. : The streams between Murfreesboro and Belleville advanced so fast that occupants of many houses were obliged to scek safety in the second ‘stories of their homes until the flood ‘bad receded. Much property at Mount ‘Pleasant, Shelbyville and Murfrees- boro was ‘damaged, bat no definite statements as to the-amounts can now be given. Several hundred people at ‘Mount Pleasant were forced from thelr ‘homes by the flood and took refuge in | the ccurt house. . | ‘The storm wrought great destruction at McMinnville. Five factory cm- ‘ployes whose names could not be learn- ed were drowned in the flood. The An- nis cotton mill and the Tennessee woolen mili were greatly damaged. ‘The Falcon rolling mill was partially destroyed. Practically all the cottages and main buildings in the town were washed away. The power house of the electric light plant was disabled, and the town was without lights. ‘The river is 20-feet higher than ever be- fore. Every portion of the town was Inundated, Great damage was wrought fu the ridge country by swollen creeks. At Harriman no lives wero lost, but there were many narrow escapes. The preperty losses, so far 1s estimated, will reach $132,000. Four bridges are washed out on the Cincinnati Southern and two on the Harriman and Northern. At Jellido, Tenn., the heaviest rain- fal! since the town was founded cight- een years ago, occurred. Although the. Clear Fork river was a mile from Jelli- ‘co, back water from the river covered half the town. People were driven front their homes during the night and isany houses were partially sub- merged. The damage will be consider- able, Cloudburst at Chattanooga. At Chattanooga the storm raged fu- riously for a short while, the rainfall being phenomenal, amounting almost to a cloudburst, accompanied by light- ning. The damage on tae Cincinnatl Southern railroad is considerable be- tween Chattanooga and Oakdale.s + Latest Reports. - A-special of Sunday from Tullahoma says: As the details of Friday even- ing’s storm slowly come in from the surrounding country it proves to have been the-most disastrous that has ever visited this section. Several lives were Jost and the loss of propertys will amount to thousands of dollars. A spécial of Sunday from Nashville says:. Reports from the flooded dts- tricts of Tennessee emphasizes the gravity of the situatfon, The damage resulting, it is believed, will reach $4,- 000,000, while’ twenty-two lives are mown to be lost. Several counties certain to have suffered heavily ‘are yet cut off from communication, and the loss in property and Ife may go higher than these figures. The section visited by the flood em- braces one of the richest portions of the state, and damage to farm lands is a serfous item. It includes counties lying between the mountains on the east and the Tennessee river on the west and between the Cumberland riv- erand the Alabama line. Store fences that have stood the sforms of forty years were washed away in many of the famed riverside farms of Lincoln county and crops destroyed. WORKERS TO DEMAND RAISE. Unless Ten Pef-Cent Is Forthcoming Augusta Mill Operatives Will Quit, ' Ata meeting of the King cotton mill operatives at Augusta Saturday it was decided to make a demand for a 10 per cent increase in wages on April 7. It Ss the understanding that if the King company grants the request, the other cotton mills In the vicinity will be requested to meet the ralse. If the King mill refuses, the coetatives will strike. a The King mill authorities say they _Will not comply with the demands, and "a strike will be met by’a lockout in the other mills: a THREE-QUARTERS OF A MILLION Ig What Columbla Wants Yearly as Pay’ for the Panama Canal Rights. A Washingtod special says: Senor Concha, the Colombfan minister, de- livered to Secretary Hay Monday a definite protocol between the United States and Colombia, embodying the terms under which Colombia will pgree to concede the’rights necessary for the construction of @ Panama ca- nal, It Is understood that Colombia gives unqualified consent to the sate of the rigits of the new xanama Canal Com- pany to the United States government and the consummation of its offer of $40,000,000. It is stated that the proto- col embodies adequate and satisfac- tory provisicnz for the completion, maintenance, operation, control and protection of # Panama canal by this government. It was stated most posl- tively Monday that, beyond the 5,000,- 000 francs (about $1,000,000) In stock which the Colomblan government ‘holds In the canal company, no por- | tlon of the $40,000,000 wili revert to Colombia. It has been made clear that the pro- ‘tocol just dejivered withholds the city of Panama from the United States sov- -ercignty. Panama city is practically | the state of Panama, for there is no other town of importance within the state. The administration of justice | iihin the belt Is provided for {n the shape of mixed tribunals, and the right ‘to pursue criminals charged with crimes committed within the limits of | the belt to any part of Colombia is be- stowed. Compensation for the canal ; rights is desired to be in the shape of an annual rental of about $750,000. MILES WON’T RESIGN. General Says He Will Fight It Out With the Administration. A Washington special says: Gen- eral Miles means to stay In the fight with the administration to the last ditch, “I am‘no quitter,” Is the substancee of his reply to his friends who advised him to retire. These friends urged his voluntary retirement as soon as’ they yead the rebuke of Roosevelt and Root pub- lished in the papers sent to congress Saturday. Milesdeéclares he will stick it out until he reachees the age limit of 64 unless retired by Roosevelt. In the meantime another rebuke Is in store for the lieutenant general. He sald In one of his letters that the warfare In the Philippines has been conducted with marked seyeeeritymtw conducted, with markec — sever- ity. This charge was basec, he declared, upon a letter trom Governor Taft and other officials’ communica- tlons. He had read Governor-Taft's letter transmitting charges made by the rival governor of Fayahas against the militia administration In that prov- Ince, General Chaffee has been directed to make an Investigation of the secre- tary’s charges and the department Is confident that theyzwill be found to be groundless. If this be the case, then the general's statement will make him Mable to further condemnation. The entire affair, In the opinion of army prophets, {s gradually reaching a climax. The 20th of May, when Leonard Wood cuts loose from Cuba, Is drawing near, and the return of Wood is believed to mark the crisis in the Miles affatr. ~ Then the prophets say Muilees will go and Wood will succeed him.

VICTIMS NUMBER TWENTY-TWO Premature Bizet Causes Dire Calamity - In Neéefeon Pit of Dayton Coal and Iron Company, At 4:45 o'clock Monday afternoon ab explosion of gas In the Nelson mine of the Dayton Coal and Iron Company, at Dayton, Tenn., ignited the dry coal dust In the mine and caused a terrific explosion. Twenty-two men are known to be dead. i The List of Dead. Whites—James Franklin, Tom Sha ver, James Harris, P. G. Travis, Alex Toffer, Lark Hunter, John Harney. Colored—J, E. Hill, Bryant Smith, Mack Foust, George Griffiss, Ben Grit- fiss, Reese Dean, Nortis Plersoll, Mor- gan Smith, Joho Robinson. Six others, names unknown. W. T. Head, brother of James Head, superintendent cf the mine, Was fa- tally burned, while seven ‘men were seriously injured. How the Disaster Occurred. Gas exists In the Nelson mine and the men are required to use safety lamps. It Is the rule of the company for the miners to place their fuses ready to be lighted for blast just be- fore quitting work each day, and there are workmen known as “firemen” who Bo through the mine after all the min- ers are out and set off these blasts. The miners quit work at 4:30 o'clock Monéay afternoon, It took them about forty-five minutes to get out of the mine, ‘The two “firemen” on this occasion, ‘who are supposed to have caused the explosion, are Lark Huater and John Herney. They shot the blasts about 4:45 o'clock, before all the miners could get out of the mine. It fs sup- posed that one of these fuses was de- fective and resulted {i what is known as a “blown blast.” The flames, shoot- ing out from the blast, ignited the gas, which in turn Ignited the accumula- tion of dry coal dust In the mine. The explosion that followed was horrible in its Intensity. It shot out of the mouth of the mine and completely wrecked the shed at the mine en- trance, Three men were killed while standing outside the mine and two se- riously and one fatally injured, Former Explosigns. This mine has been the scene of two serious explosions In. the past. In 1899 four men were Killed and eight serlously injured by an explo- sion of gas. December 20, 1895, an explosion of mine dust occurred in which twenty- eight lives were lost. This was caused by a miner carry{ng an open lamp contrary to regulations. Tn May, 1901, an explosion of a sim {lar nature occurred In the Shalliday mine, operated by the same company, in which twenty-one Ives were lost. The force of the explosion in the Nelson mine was terrible. Bodies were literally mangled and torn to pieces. The company states that there were but seventy-five men at work In the mine, most of them being out when the explosion occurred. Reports from Dayton at midnight showed that eleven dead bodies had been taken from the Nelson mine. The company claims there are but eight more in the mine, Miners clalm there are twelve to fifteen more. Rescuing parties are at work, but ata late hour during the night struck a heavy fall of slate that will delay them for a dar or two.

In the Alexander case as well as in the Jossey case they have shown exceptional ability and proved themselves second to no others that have plead at the bar. LESLIE's for April gives an illustrated article and a vivid one too, on the despised convict lease system of Georgia. The editor in his note of it, says: "Sovereign State leasing out men convicted of offenses against laws to a private individual, to be used by him for money-making purposes, is certainly repugnant to American sentiment." TILLMAN, he of "pitchfork fame," the arch traducer of our people, recently made an address at Fitchburg, Mass., and was treated as he deserved for being such a blackguard. In the entire city he had but one person to meet him, the same person sat on the stage and introduced him. In this city he was completely ignored by every one else. The lecture was attended by over a thousand persons, but when the lecturer commenced using his pitchfork his audience dwindled down to a small number. He was justly snubbed. He will not profit by it, because he is too thick skinned. ANOTHER exhibition of lawlessness was had early Tuesday night at Rome Ga, where a colored man was lynched for an attempted assault. We in the strongest term denounce the crime that is charged to the lynched man, but feel that he should have been given a legal hearing and executed according to the gravity of the offense. The gathering of the large mob of unmasked citizens that lynched him is but a blot upon them. The coroner's jury rendered the stereotyped verdict in saying that he "died from the hands of unknown parties." This was done despite the fact that all of the participants were unmasked and undoubtedly known. NOTWITHSTANDING the puerile opposition of some few folks of our race to the present management of the Charity Hospital, it is a fact that the hospital is doing commendable work amongst those for whom it was established. The many persons who went to it during the past month afflicted with diseases of various forms and who left there at the end of said month radically repaired, attest to the efficiency of the institution as well as to the professional ability of those who are in charge of it. With the limited means at command the management challenges the host of vindictive slanders who inveigh against its conduct and progress. It is not too much to say that the hospital will live despite the falsifiers and their intentions. A Tribute. The world will not for many generations look again upon the like of L. B. Maxwell. I speak advisedly. In making the man whom we lately knew by that name, nature used her best material. In him the physical, intellectual and moral elements were so blended that it might well be said that he was a well-rounded man, unless perhaps, it might be thought that his physical strength was not sufficient for his excessive mentality He might have excelled in law. in literature, in statesmanship or politics; he might have succeeded in business; he was pre-eminently fitted for the work of a college professor. But with native modesty (for he was by nature a meek man) he preferred to devote, and did devote, his splendid talents to the service of God and the good of men by proclaiming the simple story of the cross. If he have been a Methodist, he would have been a bishop. If he had been a Baptist, he would have preached regularly to a congregation of 2,000 or 3,000 souls. But he was wedded to Congregationalism. In that faith he lived and in that faith he died, and there was not in the Georgia. Congregational Association a brighter mind, nor a more consecrated heart. I knew him well and loved him. For three years I was his assistant in carrying on the work of the International Sunday School Convention and it is a pleasure for me to be able to testify, speaking out of thefulness of an intimacy that extended over many years, that he was one of the must-Christ-like men I ever knew. In addition to his great learning, the thing that impressed me most was his great, good common sense. He was earnest. Yes. He was plain spoken? Yes. He was loyalty itself? Yes. He was quick of perception? Yes He had a vivid imagination? Few men in this generation possessed finer imaginative faculties. He was manly? Yes. But he was also tactful, discreet, and wise. He did more to bring together the different denominations among the Negroes for common work on a common basis than any other religious teacher in this country. The first three pan-denominational conferences ever held among Negroes were called by him—one at Columbia, S. C.; one at Macon, Ga.; and one at Birmingham, Ala. And they were successful. This work required great wisdom, great discretion, great common sense. He was doing much also to bring Southern white Christians and Southern colored Christians closer together. No colored man in America has had more or better opportunities of addressing Southern white audiences than he had, and he always did this work wiseley and well. Everywhere, he was easily the foremost platform speaker, whether in Philadelphia, Boston, London, Berlin, Richmond, Chicago, or Atlanta. As an orator pure and simple, he was far and away above any man of his day and generation. He was in the class with Gladstone and John Bright of England, Daniel Webster, Wendell Phillips, James G. Blaine, and Frederick Phillips of this country. In my judgment there is not to-day alive on the American continent anywhere, one single Negro, who is, in the mastery of elegant English and eloquent speech, the equal of the late Leigh B. Maxwell I might speak of him as a preacher and I would have to class him then with Henry Ward Beecher, G. Campbell Morgan, Richard Salter Storrs and Phillip Brooks. I might speak of him as a scholar but there is no need of that, I might speak of his humanity but that was known to all who came in contact with him and it was that characteristic which gave him his wonderful power with men. I might speak of his helpfulness to me of his friendship! He was my friend! He was my friend! He was my friend!! He was my friend!!! That's all. This world will not see his like again for many generations. May the grass ever be green above his grave in Oakland Cemetery, and may his name never perish from the earth. It was a benediction to have known and to have been associated with him. Now that he is dead, life for me will have a newer meaning, because I knew him while he lived and heaven for me will have an added attractiveness, because I hope to meet him there.—Rev. Silas X. Floyd, in Georgia Baptist. Easter at Trinity. The winter has been so severe and we have been kept in doors for so many months that we are glad to notice again the coming of spring. The month of March was quite cold and plenty of rain fell. It being so rainy and disagreeable that we could not plan very much of a program for Easter. As the little ones always look forward toward having a good time Easter, we decided to try and have something. Our prospects were quite discouraging as the weather was not in our favor at all. Friday and Saturday morning it rained. In the afternoon the grand old "Sol" sent forth his beautiful rays. All nature seemed to be glad. Vines, and flowers were brought and the church was appropriately decorated. It reminded us of a risen Saviour as the motto over the pulpit read. Getting up on Sundav morning we could only give thanks for such a beautiful Easter morning. We had a good Sunday School and a good audience at the morning service. The pastor, Rev. J. A. Jones, preached quite an able Easter sermon. As there was so much water on the ground, the teachers decided to have the exercises in the afternoon at four o'clock. Recitations, selections, songs and anthems were the program for the afternoon; after which addresses were made by the visitors. The collection of the day were given to the A. M. A. After singing some jubilees which were enjoyable, the crowd dispersed having enjoyed a pleasant Easter Day. Increasing Interest. It is gratifying to note the growing interest of our race for Charity Hospital. Our people are awakening to the fact that skillful nusing and scientific treatment can be better had at a well regulated hospital than at the most luxuriously furnished house imaginable. These things we must learn. First, that quietness and rest are absolutely necessary for sick persons. The indiscreet and pell-mell method of visiting sick ones which prevails so largely among our people has done, more to unnerve the patient, excite the family and frustrate the well aimed efforts of a conscientious physician than anything else. Secondly trained nur- ing is a treatment of diseases. The family as a rule has too many household care to monopolize their time. The comforts of the sick one, the preparation of the food, the regular administration of the medicines the care of sick room, the quick detection of untoward symptoms, the curtailing Mrs. Know all and Mrs. Advice given are enough to engross the time of a well trained nurse much less a nervous and over anxious family. The Savannah Hospital, the Episcopal Home, the Day Nursery, the Port Society building, and the Bethesda Home are all products of a white man's brain, a white man's skill and a white man's pocket. These charitable institutions stand up like Banquo's Ghost and beckon every loyal and race loving Negro onward. Do likewise. I am trying to impress you my dear race the necessity of awakening. Our confines are being limited more and more daily, you cannot expect another race to do for you that which you are not doing for yourselves. The support given Charity Hospital thus far has been very encouraging but our needs are growing daily and the supply is not adequate to the demands. Remember "We live in deed not years; he lives most who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best" S. Palmer Lloyd M. D. Corner Stone Laying. Corner Stone Laying. Under the auspices of Bro. H A Johnson who was elected in December, P M, F S Andrews who Mt. Nebo feels loath to give up and who presided six successive years as its efficient secretary, moving on to accomplish the work which ancient Free Masonry prescribed, that is to care for the sick and distressed, throw around the widows and orphans the sweet balm of comfort and spread the cement of brotherly love and affection around the worthy and distress. On the first day March Mt. Nebo was honored by Bro. R L Logan of Atlanta who came down to officiate in laying the corner stone to the colored High School building. The G M. was to come but owing to profession and practice he could not attend but expressing his regret. Bro. R L Logan is an able man of much Masonic talent. He presided Friday evening and night over the Stars of Fairfield Chapter. Saturday promptly at 1:10 p.m, the Marshal and Tyler with baton and sword formed the procession and marched to the school building where many visitors colored and white had assembled Rev. S. E. Strong welcomed the guests Prof. Wm Wilcox the principal spoke next in behalf of the citizens. The weather being unpleasant the procession was formed and marched back to the hall where Rev. H. H. Williamson delivered the Masonic address. Refreshments were served. The ladies of Fairfield sent an invitation to the Grand Patron who could not be with them expressing his regret, hoping the future will enable him to come. They anticipated a banquet that night from which the G. M. and Revs. Strong and Williamson were to address the audience but owing to the heavy rain they failed to meet. Resolution by Rev. Williamson: Whereas Mt. Nebo Lodge 68 Rochelle Ga., was honored with such a leader, and whereas such harmony and satisfaction avail, a vote of thanks be tendered the D. G. M. and the G. M. at large, and a copy be sent to THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE for publication. H. A. Johnson, W. M. F: S. Andrews, See'tv. Pridgeon Pointers. Rev. and Mrs. Laster and Miss Josephine Simmons of Bartow were here on Sunday. Rev. Laster preached a noble sermon. Mrs S M Brown who has been visiting her daughter Mrs W J Pridgen, has returned to her home in Eldorendo, Ga, much delighted with her stay in the land of flowers. Mr and Mrs J M Mathis with little Lucy Fullmore of Bond, Fla., arrived here on Sunday night where they will make their future home. Miss Sadie J Bradley of Carters was a pleasant visitor on Sunday and was the guest of Mr and Mrs Z R Fullmore. Mr C T Taylor and family of Scott Lake, have moved to our town. Mr Will Stayton was on the sick list but is improving. When in need of ice cold soda, call on Mrs Carrie Dudley. Mr Will Moore of Scott Lake who has been indisposed for a few weeks is now improving. Mr E L Mathis who has charge of the Scott Lake Place is a thoroughgoing business man; every branch of his work is moving along without a riffle. Others of the race should take due notice and govern themselves according. Z R F. Ashburn Notes. Bro John Williams our W M, is doing good work for the craft. Our P E, T N M Smith. was with us and preached an able sermon last Sunday. Mr M B Johnson has bought the livery stable. Ashburn is the only town in South Georgia that can boast of a Negro livery stable. Miss Mamie Clay is doing some good work in our public school. Our passor. Rev H H Williamson has layed the foundation for the new A M E Church. He is a hard worker and every body love him. When Col J H Deveaux is re-appointed we will be satisfied. G O Smith. A. U's Victory. Atlanta University defeated Baptist College in the first baseball game last Saturday, by a score of 6 to 5. The game lasted eleven innings and was exciting throughout. Five of A. U's best players were disqualified by a recent vote of faculty which prevents men playing if they are behind in their studies. Some of these men will remove condition before the next game. Success Club Notes. After a hard struggle of a few young men who are aspiring for anything that is high and ennobling, a branch of the League of Success Clubs was organized last Tuesday night, for the uplifting and self-development of the young colored men of Savannah. The purposes of this organization are so worthy that it is needless to give all of its entire objects. These young men have organized this branch here, whose headquarters are in New York City, as they have realized the glaring necessity of something aside from social pleasure which a majority of the young men of this city clamor for. This institution is regularly chartered and embodies every high ideal that tends to lift young men especially, upward and carry them in accordance with the name of the organization—to success. To say that it is a much needed institution, is to say a fact irrefutable; for the fact that it is a self-help fraternity, and gives the young man who is unable to attend a school or college, a chance to come in contact with those who do, and be benefitted theremy. Another peculiar fact about this organization is, that its object is not to be a money-making scheme; whatever the expenses of the organization are, that is made up, or fixed by a small fee assessed each member. Several invitations have been sent out by the members to other young men of the city and they are expected to appear at their next meeting next Tuesday night. A standing invitation awaits all young men who are endeavoring to do something and be something in life. We hope that those who desire to befriend such a laudable institution, which we believe all good citizens do, will encourage these young men by their presence and urging young men to join them in their worthy effort. We feel very grateful to THE TRIBUNE for giving us space in its columns and will assure them that their standard "shall never trail the dust" in our midst and its name shall be honored and respected by The Booker T. Washington Success Club. The officers are: C. A. Miles, President; A. S. Rogers, Vice President; Chas. Green, Secy; David Moses, Ass't. Secy; J. H. Toomer, Treasurer; and Messers W. D. Brown, H. T. Singleton and C. A. Miles, organizers. St. Philips Church Dots. St. Phillips Church Dots. Easter celebration at St. Phillips on Sunday was a grand success. The church was handsomely decorated for the occasion. At 11 o'clock Rev. Cargile delivered an excellent sermon, and the choir sang with piano music. His text was Matthews 28:9:10, subject, "He died to conquer." Quite a number of children were christened and a large number of persons confirmed. At 3 p.m, the Sunday School exercises were held and an excellent program was rendered. The recitations, solos, duets and speaking by the little tots and young ladies were very good. The collection by the Sunday School was a record breaker; $23.00 was the sum raised, which will go for missionary purposes. Too much praise cannot be given Prof. J. H. Baldwin and his corps of teachers for such an excellent program. The Christian Endeavor society held its exercises at 8 p.m, though it looked as if the exercises would have to be abandoned on account of the gas failing to give light, but by some means it managed to give a very dim light, but notwithstanding all of this trouble, the church was packed to over flow. The program furnished for the occasion was quite elaborate. The recitations and reading of different papers were very good, and the participants deserve much credit. The music both instrumental and vocal were very good indeed. The duet, by the Misses Franscott captivated the audience, and they were enced time and again. The singing of Mrs. J. E. Johnson and Miss R. B. Collins were also very good. The chorus led by Prof. J. H. Baldwin, surprised every body and shows the Prof. is quite a vocalist. Preceding Elder I. G. Glass of the Thomasville district made a few timely remarks on the progress of our church. Rev. Cargile the pastor spoke in praise of the very excellent program that was rendered. Mrs. Cargile president of the Endeavor society and her program committee on the very excellent program that they presented. Love-feast was held last night a and the holy会 '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. munion will be commemorated to morrow. The second quarterly conference for 1902 will convene in St. Phillips church on Friday night April 11. St. Philips is fast out growing her present building and more room is needed, and the only way to remedy this is for every member and friend to rally to their division on the second Sunday in May. We want to raise nothing less than $1200. The collections raised on Sunday were as follows: Sunday morning, $21.21; Sunday School, $32.00; Christian Endeavor $14.03; total, $67.24. All contributions on Easter Sunday goes to missionary purposes. Sunday services: Prayer-meeting at 5 a.m; preaching at 11 a.m; Sunday School at 2:30 p.m; preaching at 8 p.m. Our revival closed on Friday night and as a result a good many persons were added to the church. The members of St. Philips are under obligations to THE TRIBUNE for publishing their church news every week, and for them to show their appreciation they should subscribe for THE TRIBUNE and you will get the latest news. $1.25 per year by mail. Mr. C. A. Miles, one of our members represents THE TRIBUNE, and if you want to be a subscriber, call on him and he will take your subscription. Bolton Street Church. The First A. B. Church, West Broad street, had very interesting services all day on last Sunday. Rev. Williamson preached a very powerful sermon at 11 a. m. from subject; "An Encouraging Command." The Sunday school at 3:15 p. m. was largey attended and the superintendent and teachers made the service interesting and new scholars were added. At 8 p. m. Rev. Williamson preached on "Hunting a Job;" text: Lord what wilt thou have me to do? The young pastor, systematically giving the exegesis of the text, applied it to the church in their struggle to build a church edifice in the near future. Baptism 7 a. m. and communion 3:30 p. m. on to-morrow. For Incorporation. GEORGIA CHATHAM COUNTY: TO SUPERIOR COURT OF SAID COUNTY The petition of Rev. James J.

Upon one of the army transports for Manila that sailed not long ago was a pretty young widow bound for a visit to her uncle, a General in the Philippines. "Of course she'll marry," said some of the widow's many friends in discussing her departure over the teacups the other day; "so young, so pretty, so charming, she'll marry as soon as she gets there." "Poppa says," piped a young girl whose 50-year-old widower father, by the way, has been paying devoted attention to the young widow; "Poppa says that she'll be married before she gets there."—New York Sun.

All Drug Stores Says Would-Be Scandal Was Worked By the "No Sale" Party In Denmark. A Washington dispatch says: The investigation of charges made in connection with the Danish West Indian purchase was begun Tuesday before the special committee appointed by Speaker Henderson. Mr. Gron was the first witness sworn by Chairman Dalzell. He said in February last, parties in Copenhagen; who opposed the transfer of the Danish West Indies had persuaded him to come to Washington and place the Christmas report before congress and the public, so that the facts would be known. He told of having secured a note of introduction to General Grosvenor, of Ohio; or arranging to meet the latter in Washington, his purpose being, he said, to carry out assurances given at Copenhagen that he would place the matter before influential men and thus bring it to the attention of congress and the public. Mr. Gron told in, great detail of bringing the papers before General Grosvenor, who at first seemed quite indignant, Mr. Gron said, and spoke of laying the matter before the proper parties in order that suitable action might be taken. The witness said that later-Grosvenor concluded that it would be proper to lay the matter before the secretary of state. This was done, and Mr. Gron said he learned that the state department held that it could take no action and that the authorities had in nowise committed themselves to Christmas. Gron said that after Grosvenor had decided not to proceed with the matter he (Gron) had prepared a statement for the Associated Press and had asked Mr. Crane, a newspaper man, to send some one from the Associated Press to him for a statement and to General Grosvenor for assurances as to Gron's standing. He learned later, through Mr. Crane, that Grosvenor said he knew nothlnl about it. He said he was informed, after he submitted the statement, that the Associated Press could not use it. Afterwards, he said, he submitted his statement to several newspapers and more or less of it was printed. The witness then detailed how he had placed the matter before Representatives Richardson and Underwood, who had gone over the napers. What was your purpose in bringing it before members" asked Mr. Dalzell. "To get it into the house and before the American people," answered the witness. I. respond to an inquiry the witness look up various branches of the case. He said he represented those constituting the "No Sale" party in Denmark. Claims of Missionaries in 'China Are Held in Abeyance.' No action has been taken thus far by the appropriations committee of the house on the recommendations of the president to pay by appropriation $2,100,000 of the missionary claims growing out of the boxer troubles in China and an informal understanding has been reached that it will be inadvisable to pay the claims before they have been adjudicated in the usual manner by a commission or some other body and also before China has paid the $25,000,000 indemnity coming to this country.

At New Orleans Tuesday District Attorney Gurley filed information against Henry Newman and Harris Hyman, one of the largest houses in the city, charging them with embezzlement from Captain John A.

Twenty-five persons lost their lives in the flood. Reason Why Miles Was Given Hard Raps By Roosevelt Is Laid Before Solons. A Washington special says: In response to a resolution adopted by the house of representatives, the president Saturday forwarded to that body the full text of the correspondence between Lieutenant General Nelson A. Miles, commanding the army, and Secretary Root, concerning a plan outlined by the former to bring about a cessation of hostilities in the Philippines. The general's recommendations are about as stated in the newspaper reports of the episode. The chief interest in the publications lies in the sharp call-down contained in Secretary Root's second letter, in which he declares General Miles' plan to be to assume to himself a military dictatorship over the islands, superseding both military and civil authorities. He scores Miles heavily for certain references made by the latter to alleged methods pursued by American soldiers under General Chaffee, declaring that Miles accepts as true these allegations without giving officers and soldiers an opportunity to make a defense. He charges that Miles' reference to these charges is made for the purpose of getting them published broadcast, and says such a course is to be much regretted. The president's approval of the secretary's action is full and complete. He slaps Miles hard. "Had there been any doubt before as to the wisdom of denying General Miles' request, these papers would remove that doubt," he declares. DATE OF GEORGIA PRIMARY. Voters Will Act on June 5 and and the State Convention Meets July 2. Georgia's democratic primary will be held on Thursday, June 5. On that date candidates for governor, state house officers, United States senator and judges and solicitors general of the superior courts will be voted for, and on Wednesday, July 2, the state convention will meet in the hall of the house of representatives to nominate the candidates for whom the democrats of the state express a preference in the primary. The state democratic executive committee fixed the foregoing dates at its meeting Saturday without a dissenting vote, and the general rules governing the conduct of the primary were similarly passed. These are the usual rules adopted every year for the government of the primary, with slight change to meet any new condition. A feature of the rules is the paragraph inviting all white voters, without regard to past political affiliations, to align themselves with the party in the coming primary, provided they will pledges themselves to support the nominates of the party should their right to vote be challenged. STORM SCATTERS WORSHIPPERS. During Easter Services Church Roof Was Demolished By Winds. One of the fiercest wind storms ever known in that section struck Pittsburg, Pa. Sunday just before noon and old tremendous damage to property and injured many people, some of whom may die. Scores of houses were unroofed, many trees were blown down, mill stacks toppled over and telegraph and telephone wires were generally disabled. The most serious accident reported was the unroofing of the Knoxville Presbyterian church. The church was filled with an Easter congregation numbering about six hundred persons. While the minister was in the midst of his sermon a gust of wind blew off the large chimney and lifted a portion off the roof o: the building. The bricks from the chimney crashed through the roof and carried a huge piece of the hardwood ceiling, measuring about 40 by 20 feet down upon the people. A panic ensued and a rush was made for the doors and windows. The excitement soon subsided and the work of rescue, began. At least 40 persons were caught by the wreckage and more or less hurt. Of this number five may not recover. The meeting of the committee was well attended, comparatively few of the members being absent. EARNINGS OF STEEL TRUST.

COMMISSIONER EVANS RESIGNS Document Is Placed In Hands of President Roosevelt For Action. Commissioner of Pensions Evans has placed his resignation in the hands of the president. The pension committee appointed at the last annual encampment of the G. A. R. to investigate the affairs of the pension bureau has made its report to the president. It has not yet been decided as to when the report will be made public. Medical Usoa of Tunnela. Quite a new uso has been found for the Two-penny, Tube and the other underground railways. In addition to being methods of quick locomotion, they are also, in the opinion of many trusting mothers who have little faith in the pharmacopoeia, important sanatoria warranted to cure many of childhood's maladies. Tunnel air, it seems, is good for croup, also for whopping cough, and various other ailments. Let us hope the ladies will not get the idea into their heads that it is a substitute for vaccination. A doctor who was traveling on a railway noticed that a woman in the compartment almost pulled down the window when they entered a tunnel, and outside a child whom she was carrying, so that the youngster might get the full benefit of the foul atmosphere; and when he asked the reason of this extraordinary performance she told him that "tunnel air" had been found to be a complete cure for the croup. And the other day an East End mother was discovered by a guard giving her baby two complete rounds on the "Inner Circle," because she had been told by a herbalist and bonestreet that a sulphurous atmosphere was good for the whopping cough. Fortunately the unfailing specific for the last-mentioned disorder was a visit to a gas works, but owing doubtless to the advance of science, the underground railway has taken the place of the gaseous system of pathology. Thus a new and beneficial era opens for tubes and tunnels, and their shareholders.—London Telegraph. Honors for a Composer. Herr Anton Dvorak has been accorded a rare distinction by the Emperor of Austria. He is the first musical composer who has been made a member of the Austrian house of lords. Dvorak was born in a suburb of Prague in 1841. He was the son of an inn keeper and evinced his musical genius at an early age and received his training in the government schools. His "Stabat Mater" secured his European reputation. A SENSITIE SOUL "I suppose even you have said things you regretted," said the man with a hasty temper.
