PROBE FOR ISLANDS Barbarity and Cruelty in Philippines Will Be Investigated. IS DECISION OF THE PRESIDENT Matter of Sending Investigating Commission to Islands is Discussed at Cabinet Meeting—Root A Washington special says: It is understood that President Roosevelt has decided to send a commission to investigate the conditions in the Philippine islands. The recent testimony before the senate committee relative to the "water cure" and other methods alleged to have been employed by officers of the army, and the comment of the country upon these disclosures, have prompted the movement for an investigation. Men close to the president have pointed out that, in view of the general idea that there has been a suppression of facts, there was great danger of the democrats being able to make use of the necessity for investigation as a campaign issue in the congressional elections. There was some discussion of this subject at the cabinet meeting Tuesday, but while no definite action was taken, the understanding at the capitol among persons particularly close to the administration is that some steps toward an investigation will be taken at an early date. This tip is accompanied by the suggestion that the method calculated to come nearer satisfying the country as to the fairness of the investigation will be the appointment of a non-partisan commission of civilians of the same high character as comprised the war investigation commission, which passed upon the charges growing out of the conduct of the war in Cuba. Since the revelations of the Gardener report, it is a fact that the democratic managers have believed one of their strongest cards for the campaign this year would be a demand for a thorough investigation into the Philippine situation, it being claimed that this could only be secured through the medium of a democratic house. Root Asks for Evidence. As a result of the consideration by the cabinet of the charges of cruel treatment of Filipinos by United States soldiers, Secretary Root has made public the following correspondence: "War Department, Washington, April 15, 1902.—My Dear Senator: I beg to acknowledge receipt of your copy of the testimony of Sergeant S. Riley and Private William Lewis Smith, late of the Twenty-sixth infantry, taken before your committee yesterday. I inclose a copy of a dispatch which has been sent today to Major General Chaffee, commanding the division of the Philippines. Directions have been given to the judge advocate general of the army to take proper steps in accordance with the dispatch. "The war department will be glad to receive the earliest practicable information of any further evidence which may be elicited by the committee tending to fix responsibility upon any one in the military service of the United States for any violation of any laws of war or of the regulations or orders governing the operations of the army of the United States in the field. "Secretary of War. "Hon. H. C. Lodge, United States Senate, Washington." WAR IS COSTING MILLIONS. English Parliament Votea Provision For Loan of $160,000,000. A London special says: The resolution in the house of commons providing for a loan of £32,000,000 ($160,000,000) was adopted Tuesday by 229 to 103 votes. The loan will be raised by an issue of 2 3-4 per cent consols. AMNESTY STUMBLING BLOCK. Hitch Said to Have Occurred in Brit- ish Boer Peace Negotiations The London Daily Mail of Tuesday morning says it understands a serious hitch has occurred in the peace negotiations in South Africa: What threatens to stop the negotiations is the government declines to place the later cape rebels upon the same footing as the burghers with respect to amnesty, and is not inclined to withdraw the banishment proclamation. These features are regarded by the Boers as two cardinal points in the irreducible minimum of terms. The TERMS OFFERED THE BOERS. Summary of Proposals Now Under Consideration at Pretoria—Britishers Hopeful. Advices from The Hague, under date of April 14, are as follows: From those close in touch with the Boer leaders here it appears that the latest secret dispatches from South Africa outline the peace proposals under discussion at Pretoria. They closely follow the summary given on Saturday last by The Evening News of Edinburgh, with the following additional details: The Boers accept a British lord commissioner with a Boer executive, both to be resident at Pretoria. The country to be divided into districts, with British district officers and a Boer committee, chosen by polling by the burghers. The veto right to be reserved to the British government. The majority of the British officers must be conversant with the Dutch language. Johannesburg' to be retroceded to the British with complete British civil organization. A war indemnity of at least £10,000,000 to be distributed by mixed committees. Disarmament to occur when the first batch of Boer prisoners is sent back to South Africa. No war tax to be levied, both languages to be recognized in the schools and courts and in official documents. The expense of the garrisons in South Africa to be borne by Great Britain. The present Boer leaders to be retained in offices, so far as possible. McLAURIN WANTS CHINESE. Declares Exclusion Law Would Work Harm to South's Cotton Mills. The Chinese exclusion bill occupied the attention of the senate throughout the day Monday, Senators Foraker and McLaurin of South Carolina, making extended speches in opposition. Mr. Foraker contended that the pending measure was violative of our treaty with China and was calculated to prevent our commercial expansion in the far east. While strongly supporting the policy of the government to exclude Chinese laborers, the Ohio senator maintained that this could be best accomplished by an extension of the present exclusion law. Mr. McLaurin also favored an extension of the present law. He declared that the pending senate bill was calculated by its restrictive action and inimicable spirit to kill our trade with China. This was a consideration of vital importance to South Carolina, with its vast cotton production and the growing shipments of cotton goods to China. HARMONY MEETING HELD. Democrats Commemorate Jefferson's Birthday at Reception in New York. A New York dispatch says: The members of the democratic club Monday night commemorated the birthday of Thomas Jefferson with a reception at the club house. It was looked upon among the democrats of the city and state as a harmony meeting. David B. Hill, who had not visited the club for a number of years, was the chief orator of the evening, and in his speech he called upon democrats to unite in harmony. Perry Belmont, whose differences with Mr. Bryan and Mr. Croker have kept him away, from the club for three years, was also there. Mr. Hill was followed by Mr. Griggs, of Georgia. Both speakers urged that past differences should be forgot and democrats should line up for a hard fight against the republicans. PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATIONS. List of Appointments Transmitted to the Senate Monday. Presidential postoffice appointments for Georgia announced Monday were: Robert S. Middleton, at Vienna, and William E. Burch, at Hawkinsville. There was no contest over any of these offices. Fourth class offices filled were: Alva, Jasper county, H. Key, to succeed B. H. Tucker, resigned. WHITE SUCCEEDS HAMPTON.

Gordon, commanding the United Confederate Veterans, in a general-order directs Major General Robert White, commander of the West Virginia division, to assume command of the Army of Northern Virginia, department United Confederate Veterans, until next annual meeting, vice the greatly lamented Lieutenant General Wade Hampton, deceased. General White is also directed to place the ranking brigadier in command of the West Virginia division. SAVANNAH. GA., SATURDAY. APRIL 19. 1902. ALL LOOK TO MORGAN Wizard of the Rails Will Settle Fate of "Ellen N." THIS IS WALL STREET OPINION Gigantic Merger Is Said to Be the Next Move In Order—Ball- A New York special says: A merger between the Louisville and Nashville and the Southern Interests is still the all but admitted thing here. Rumors of many alliances and mergers, coupled with the most sensational advances yet experienced in Louisville stock, centered the attention of the whole street all day Monday. Out of it all comes the persistent facts pointing to a merger of these two big southern systems. On the best authority the street can give the J. P. Morgan company will settle the big fight for control of the Louisville and Nashville road. According to this authority, John W. Gates and August Belmont have agreed to let Morgan settle the matter. The settlement can be only one way, and that is by merger with the Southern railway. John W. Gates was in conference with the members of the J. P. Morgan firm several times Monday, and August Belmont was reported to have held conferences with his friends. Samuel Spencer, president of the Southern railway, was also in conference with Charles Steele and George W. Perkins, of Morgan'& Co., presumably on the question of the Southern railway taking over the Louisville and Nashville. Mr. Spencer was seen at his office toward the close of the day, but would not commit himself, other than to say he was satisfied at the way matters were moving. When asked if a merger was anticipated, he replied. "I cannot say now. Everything will come out presently." Neither Mr. Perkins nor Mr. Gates would be interviewed, and, as far as they are concerned, no additional light was thrown on the question. How the Situation Stands. The end of Monday's operations sums the case up in this white: The Louisville and Nashville has in its treasury the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis road, one of the best railroads in the south, and about $7,000,000 in cash. It has bld $160 a share for the Chicago and Eastern Illinois, and the directors of the latter now control the Evansville and Terra Haute. The combination makes a complete system from Chicago to New Orleans. If the Louisville and Nashville makes the combination it is planning, and then combines with the Southern raliway, the entire railroad combination north and south from the lakes to the Gulf is fixed as securely as in the present east and west combination between the lakes and the seaboard. Offered to Morgan. An important conference on Louisville, and Nashville was held at the office of J. P. Morgan & Co. late Monday afternoon, lasting until 7 o'clock. The Tribune of Tuesday said: At this conference, it is learned on high authority, the control of the Louisville and Nashville was offered by John W. Gates and his associates to J. P. Morgan & Co., presumably for transfer to the Southern Hallway Company. Whether or not the negotiations were completed and the offer was accepted could not be definitely learned. The purchase of the controlling interest in the Louisville and Nashville, according to The Tribune's information, has been effected by a syndicate of eight or nine members, including Messrs. Gates and Hawley and John A. Drake, J. J. Mitchell and Isaac J. Elwood, of Chicago. It is said that the syndicate owns or controls fully 300,000 shares of the stock, out of a total capitalization, including the 50,000 shares recently sold, but not yet listed on the stock exchange, of 600,000 shares. POOR OLD BELGIUM. In Riots at Brussels Soldiers are Forced to Finally Use Guns. Advices from Brussels state that the bloody repression of the disorders of Saturday evening has created a painful impression among all classes, although it is appreciated that the majority of the victims of the encounters do not belong to the better class of workmen. For the first time, the police really fired their rifles loaded with ball cartridges. Previous to Saturday they had used their swords and their revolvers, the latter being usually loaded with blank cartridges. SPENCER MAKES FLAT DENIAL. Declares the Southern Will not Control the Louisville and Nashville, Directly Nor Indirectly. A New York special says: George W. Perkins, a member of the banking house of J. Pierpont Morgan & Co., gave out the following statement at midnight Tuesday night: "At the request of Messrs. Harris, Gates & Co., who on their own independent account have recently made large purchases of Louisville and Nashville railroad stock, Messrs. J. P. Morgan & Co., as bankers, have consented to take control of the stock so purchased and to receive the same on deposit. "They have so consented solely to relieve the general financial condition and not for the benefit of any railway company. The Southern railway has no interest, direct or indirect, present or prospective, in this stock or in its purchase or deposit. Messrs. J. P. Morgan & Co. are acting with the cordial consent of Messrs. August Belmont & Co." On this statement being shown to August Belmont, at his residence, he read it over carefully and then gave out the following typewritten statement: "I have been aware of the negotiations by which J. P. Morgan & Co. have consented to take control and deposit of the stock of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company purchased by Harris, Gates & Co. The statement by Messrs. J. P. Morgan & Co., just made public, has my unqualified approval and there will be no contest for the control of the Louisville and Nashville Company." That the Southern Railway Company will have considerable to say as to the future of the Louisville and Nashville became the conviction of most Wall street men before the close of the day, but President Spencer, when asked as to the future relations of the Southern and the Louisville and Nashville, made this statement: "The Southern railway had no interest in the purchase of the Louisville and Nashville stock, and it will have no interest in it at any time in the future. The Louisville and Nashville will not pass to the Southern railway." "Neither directly nor indirectly?" "No, neither directly nor indirectly, in any shape, manner or form with the Southern railway have anything to do with the Louisville and Nashville." FUNERAL OF DR. TALMAGE. Brother Ministers Pay Noble Tribute to Dodd Soldier of the Crusade Funeral services were held at the Church of the Covenant at Washington Monday afternoon over the body of Rev. Dr. T. DeWitt Talmage. The large church was crowded to the doors. Rev. Teunis S. Hamlin, pastor of the Church of the Covenant, and Rev. Drs. Thomas Chalmers Easton, of Washington; S. J. Nicols and James Demarest, both of Brooklyn, officiated. The floral offerings were numerous, mostly of illies of the valley and white roses, including a wreath sent from the white house by President and Mrs. Roosevelt. After the family had entered the male quartet sang "Lead, Kindly Light," a favorite hymn of Dr. Talmage; and during the services sang "Beyond the Smiling and the Weeping," and "It Is Well with My Soul." Dr. Hamlin, in his address, pictured Dr. Talmage as one of the great clergymen of the century. Dr. Easton said that Beecher, Spurgeon and Talmage were the three greatest preachers of the century, but that the last named was the prince of the pulpit. Dr. Nicols referred to the dead man's philanthropic deeds and characterized him as a brave heart, and noble soldier of the cross. The casket remained in the church until late in the evening, when it was placed on a special car attached to the Pennsylvania train leaving for New York at 12:10 o'clock Wednesday night. The remains were interred Thursday morning at Greenwood cemetery, in Brooklyn, after services conducted by the Rev. Dr. Howard-Suydam, of Rhinebeck, N. Y. DEMON'S DASTARDLY CRIME. Unnatural Father Tries to Exterminate His Whole Family.

The comptroller of the treasury Monday approved the application for the establishment of the First national bank of Dublin, Ga. DR. TALMAGE DEAD Life Work Ended, Great Preacher Goes to His Reward. UNEQUALED AS PULPIT:ORATOR Famed the World Over as Deeply Learned Theologian, Lecturer and Contributor to the Re Rev. Dr. T. DeWitt Talmage, noted Presbyterian divine, died at nine o'clock Saturday night at his residence in Washington city. It had been evident for some days that there was no hope of recovery, and the attending physicians so informed the family. The patient gradually grew weaker until life passed away so quietly that even the members of the family, all of whom were watching at the bedside hardly knew that he had gone. The immediate cause of death was inflammation of the brain. Dr. Talmage was in poor health when he started away from Washington for Mexico for a vacation and rest some six weeks ago. He was then suffering from influenza and serious catarrhal conditions. Since his return to Washington, a week or two ago, his health failed rapidly. The body will be conveyed to Brooklyn, N. Y., where interment will be made in the family plot in Greenwood cemetery. Sketch of Dr. Talmage Thomas DeWitt Talmage was born at Bound Brook, Somerset county, N. J., January 7, 1832. He was the youngest of twelve children. His father, David T. Talmage, was a farmer. His entrance into the church was undoubtedly on account of the fact that he had two uncles, one brother in law and three brothers who had become ministers of the gospel. At the age of 18 he joined the church, and the following year entered the University of the City of New York. At the close of his college studies he became a 'student in a law office, where he remained for three years. But he then conceived that he had made a mistake, and prepared himself for the ministry at the Reformed Church Theological seminary in New Brunswick, N. J. He was ordained by the Reformed Dutch classic of Bergen. While preaching at Syracuse, N. Y., he was called to the Central Presbyterian church of Brooklyn. He induced the trustees to sell that and erect a new edifice to be known as the Brooklyn Tabernacle. The church was begun in 1870, and while it was being erected Dr. Talmage made a visit to Europe, staying chiefly in England, Scotland, and Ireland. The Tabernacle was completed the same year. On the morning of Sunday, December 22, 1872, the building was burned. It was rebuilt immediately. In this new tabernacle. Dr. Talmage's individuality most prominently manifested itself, his dramatic capacities and peculiar methods of driving home the forcible words of his sermons giving rather a theatrical character to his preaching. In the autumn of 1889 the second tabernacle was destroyed by fire. It was again rebuilt. Scarcely had Dr. Talmage commenced to preach in his new tabernacle when it was again destroyed by fire in 1894 and this time it was not rebuilt. Shortly after this third visitation Dr. Talmage accepted a call to the pastorate of the First Presbyterian church of Washington, D. C. At Washington, as at Brooklyn, Dr. Talmage preached to immense congregations. As an orator it is doubtful if the American pulpit has ever produced his equal. In addition to his pulpit work, Dr. Talmage has also been an editor, first on The Christian at Work, from 1873 to 1876, then with The Chicago Advance from 1877 to 1878, and more recently with Rrank Leslie's Sundax magazine and The Christian Herald. Dr. Talmage was twice married, his first wife being drowned. He is survived by a widow and several children. WU IN BAD BUSINESS. Chinese Minister Roasted For Protesting Against Exclusion Bill. A feature of the Chinese exclusion debate in the senate Saturday was the sharp criticism of Minister Wu, of China, because of his protest made to the secretary of state against the enactment of the pending bill. Mr. Mitchell, of Oregon, and Mr. Teller, of Colorado, sharply attacked him, declaring that he deserved to have been given his passports, and that no self-respecting nation would have permitted such interference in its legislative affairs.

LET every Negro voter go. to the court house to-day and cast his vote in favor of the reformatory. THOSE of our white friends who have spoken in favor of the reform atory will not be forgotten by us. THE amount of lawlessness in this city has become alarming. It is necessary for the police officers to redouble their energy in hunting down these law breakers. THE National Federation of Women Clubs was organized by an act of Congress. Some of the members are not favorable to the admission of clubs composed of colored members. The Attorney General of the United States has been appealed to, and undoubtedly he can give no other decision than that upholding the broad views of the constitution in such matters. COMMENTS have been made during the week about the excellent showing made by the graduates of the East Broad Street School. Principal Ross stated that of 218 graduates in sixteen years, not one had become a criminal. This has always been our contention. Educate the Negro and he will make a better citizen. Be more liberal with school appropriations, and less will be required to conduct the courts, jail and chaining. THE great problem before us is to get a good ten months' school in every town, village and rural community, to comfortably house these schools in permanent buildings properly equipped, and to put in all of them efficient teachers, scholarly cultured, well-trained, and mature in life and character. In every school there must be a small collection of books suitable for the children's reading, and the courses of study must be so broad as to bring them into harmony with the best schools in all the most progressive countries in the world. COMMENTING on the following article the American Baptist fully voices our sentiment: "Some part of the space of every Negro Newspaper in this land is eternally teeming with "news" of the doings of Negro churches. Now, Negro churches are all right, in a way if being the biggest sinkinghole on earth for the Negro's hard-earned shekels may be looked upon, as being all right"—The Times Speaker. Churches are right in every way and doing more for the uplifting of the people than any other agency, and have more to show in material way for the money they receive from the people. The Times Speaker could use its space to much better advantage than to be speaking lightly of the churches. In some way truth will demonstrate itself. The Charlotte (N.C.) Observer proves this by publishing the following, which needs no comment, but can be easily understood by every one: This talk about the consent of the governed is, when you get to the bottom of it, mostly rubbish. We people of the South, for instance, who have been for years cheating niggers at elections and kept it up until we concluded that it was cheaper to disfranchise them by legal enactment, now shed crocodile tears on account of the worth of the Filipinos and cry aloud the best government derives its authority from the consent of the governed. Rot! The South didn't consent to the government that it got for several years after the Civil War. The Southern niggers are not consenting to the government they are getting now. We talk about the consent of the governed and taxation without representation, when these arguments run our way; but we forget how often these principles have been violated in our own country to-day with our approbation and as the results of our own acts. Consent of the governed! Taxation without representation! Rot. Success Club Notes. Motto : Don't wait for your opportunity, make it The Booker T. Washington Success Club held its first meeting in its new rooms on Tuesday evening last. The club rooms are very large having a seating capacity of about three hundred. The rooms are only separated by large folding doors which when drawn took make the rooms appear as one. The officers are highly elated over the success the club has made since its organization two weeks ago. When organized the club had but nine members and now it has increased since then to forty. At the head of this article we put our motto which reads "Don't wait for your opportunity; make it." In connection to that we would like to say that one of the club's main objects is to help its members and to make and seethe opportunity and grasp it at the right time. We received a very inspiring letter from Mr. A. O. Williams, of South Carolina, a few days ago. To let you know what others thinks of our club's purpose we will let you read for yourself some of the things Mr. Williams wrote: "Having lived in Savannah the greater part of my life, I feel interested in the welfare of all the the colored people of Savannah. I was therefore much gratified to read through the columns of THE TRIBUNE of the Booker T. Washington Success Club, which I hope will be a success. I hope and honestly believe that it is the best or one of the best things ever started in your city, and were I in your city I would join your club without hesitation. There is nothing in this world that helps a man more intellectually, than these literary clubs. They finds out a man's weak points and strengthens them." We have received letters like the above from different points of the United States and would be glad to receive letters of encouragement from any of the residents of the city. At the next meeting of the club a Success Council, will be elected, this council will consist of all the business and professional colored men of the city. It will be their duty to advise and lecture to us from time to time on success. One of the important things in Tuesday night's meeting was the adoption of the Constitution. The constitution provides for more officers than have already been elected and so it was decided to elect new officers at the next meeting which will be Tuesday night at 7:30 o'clock at the club's rooms TRIBUNE Hall. Do you know what success is? Read next week's TRIBUNE and learn of some of the qualities that commands success in life. St. Phillips Church Dots.

Jones, after which the minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved. The Chairman announced as the first business for consideration of the Union the proposition to send a telegram to Mr. Andrew Cargnie, calling his attention to the manifest determination to exclude the Negro from the benefits of the proposed "Free Public Library for the people" at Savannah, and to find out from him, if such was his original purpose in establishing the "Free Public Libraries for the people" in the various cities, throughout the country, to exclude the Negro, as a race or class. A very animated discussion arose, as to the utility in sending a telegram instead of a letter. Rev. F. R. Sims took the floor and delivered quite an eloquent and forensic address in favor of sending a letter. He was followed by Presiding Elder W. O. P. Sherman, who suggested the "special delivery" mail. At this junction Dr. Cooper was recognized by the chairman, and like Jupiter on the mount of Olympia, "thundered that rent the building from top to bottom" in favor of publishing the letter in all the leading newspapers everywhere. Rev. T. N. M. Smith, D. D., Rev. R. M. S. Taylor, Rev. O. L. Bonner, Rev. I. C. Cray and others part in the discussion. Dr. Cray stated that it would be best for us not to worry about what Mr. Cargnie might do for his own race in this matter, and if we want a library, men of our own race should do as Mr. Cargnie has done or might do. Rev. E Jonathan Nelson, suggested that we might accomplish better results by an appeal to the white people of Savannah direct on the subject. The Chairman here announced the time for sermonizing, wherefore Rev. O. L. Bonner delivered a soul stirring and very instructive outline of a sermon from the text, Rev 211, subject, "And there was no more sea," from which the gallant sponsor of Christ deduced the beautiful pictures of Heaven and happiness, wherein there can be no more bitter contention, strife, or feelings of unrest, from the tur- waves of our present life of troubles of prosecutions and p-ressentions, denominational, wringlings etc., but instead there will be a life of perfect rest and happiness in the presence of God for "ever." Rev. T. N. M, Smith, D. D., also spoke briefly from the subject, "arise and stand up in the midst." Rev. C. P. Hobbs of Hutchinson Station, McIntosh Co., was introduced and made a captivating address to the Union which was loudly applauded. After the address, Dr. Hobbs expressed his desire to become a member of the Union and the rule was suspended and he was received. Rev. J. E. Jones announced that there will be an all day feast and rally at Taylor's Chapel near Woodville on the fourth Sunday in this month, for the benefit of the church, to which the Union was invited. After which the meeting adjourned with the benediction by Dr. Hobbs. Hospital Dots. On Sunday April 6th, the physicians visited St. Paul C M E church. Special music was rendered for the occasion under the direction of the efficient chorister and organist Dr J. Walter Williams who handled his choir and organ with the ease and grace of a professional. Rev. Bonner did justice to the occasion. His sermon was indeed a masterly one carrying force and conviction to his hearers. After the sermon Dr. P. E. Love in a few well chosen words setting forth the object of our visit introduced Dr. T. James Davis who with his own individual indiosyncrasy set forth the objects, aims, needs and claims of the Charity Hospital after which without any apparent effort the sum of $7.40 was raised. On Sunday last the physicians attended St. Stephen's Episcopal church. We wish that every man, woman, and child in Savannah could have heard the most scholarly sermon of the rector, Rev. Bright. So concise and clearly was the needs of the Charity Hospital explained and our duties toward the institution promulgated. It was indeed a rare treat. The singing of St. Stephen's is always one of the features of this church services. Rev Bright contributes regularly to the hospital. Recently we received six dollars from St. Stephen's church, as an Easter offering, for which we are thankful. On to-morrow night we will visit Beth-Eden church. Mr. Golden as Manager. Mr. Thomas Golden has been appointed as manager of Lincoln Park. Several persons made application for it, but the manager of the Savannah Electric-Company decided to appoint Mr. Golden. His friends have been extending him congratulations since the appointment. All who know Mr. Golden is aware of the fact that he will maintain best order at the park He will have it open tomorrow so that his friends can inspect it. During the coming week he will put it in first class order. He will spend some several hundred dollars to fit it up in good condition. On 27th he will have a grand opening. The park is now open for engagements and any one wanting it can apply to Mr. Golden. Sudden Death. Mrs Nicey Day, mother of Mr Lewis Tyson, died on Tuesday of last week shortly after twelve o'clock. She was apparently well and visited several of the neighbors during the day of her death. Her remaining were taken to Macon where they were buried at Fort Hill Cemetery. Mrs Day was Seventy-two years of age, having been born in Monroe County in 1830. She was a lady of a lovable disposition and well liked by all who know her. The family has the sympathy of friends. Ashburn Notes. Ashburn is still on the go. All the big Negroes went to Tifton on Sunday to hear Sam Jones preach. On Easter day we had a fine program. Mrs G O Smith had charge of the affair. Master Clyde' Me. Kinley Smith won a prize of fifty cents for soliciting the largest amount of money. The lumber is on the ground for our church, and with the foundation layed we will be able to go in it by the first Sunday in June.

PINKHAM:—When I passed through what is known as 'change of life.' I had two years' suffering,—sudden heat, and as quick chills would piss over me; my appetite was variable and I never could tell for MRS. E. SAILER, President German Relief Association, Los Angeles, Cal. a day at a time how I would feel the next day. Five bottles of Lydia El Pinkham's Vegetable Compound changed all that, my days became days of health, and I have enjoyed every day since—now six years. "We have used considerable of your Vegetable Compound in our charitable work, as we find that to restore a poor mother to health so she can support herself and those dependent upon her, if such there be, is truer charity than to give other aid. You have my hearty endorsement, for you have proven yourself a true friend to suffering women."—Mrs. E. SAILER, 7551 Hill St., Los Angeles, Cal.—$5000 forfait if above testimonial is not genuine. No other person can give such helpful advice to women who are sick as can Mrs. Plukham; for no other has had such great experience—her address is Lynn, Mass., and her advice free—if you are sick write her—you are foolish if you don't.

Circus people talk a line uninitiated would be unintelligible life the manager or the head of any enterprise is always "the main guy," while those inordinate positions are simply "guys." The tents are called "tops" by circus men, and they are sub-divided into the "big top," the "animal top," the "kid top," the "candy top," and so on. The side-show, where the Circassian girls, fat women and other cuisines known as "freaks" are shown, is termed the "kid show," and the man with the persuasive voice who seeks to entice people to enter is known as "barker" or a "spleier." The men who sell peanuts, red lemonade, palm-leaf fans and concert tickets are known as "butchers," while that class of circus followers whose methods are outside of the pale of the law are "guns" or "grafters." To get a person's money without giving an equivalent is to "turn them." A countryman is either a "Rube" or a "yap." The musicians with a circus are known as "wind jammers," the train men, canyas men and other laborers are "razorbacks." The distance of one town from another is always known as a "jump." The show-ground is called the "lot," and the dining tent, where the circus people get their meals, is the "camp." An acrobat is known as a "kinker," and all things that are used in the ring, such as banners, hoops and the like, are called "objects." Those who lie on their backs and juggle children on their feet are "Risleys," and if other objects are balanced on the feet they are "barrel bickers." Money is referred to as "coin" or "cush," and the one who pays the salaries is either the "ghost" or the "man in white." A trunk is called "keester," and a valise is a "turkey." To get away quick is to do a "vamp," and of those who are forced to leave, they say "got the hurry." Those who have been long in the business are "old landmarks," and a new addition to the profession is either a "butt in" or a "Johnny Newcomer." Food is called "chuck," and they say an intoxicated person is "soused." A fight is a "scrap," but any trouble that cannot be handled by the regular officers is a "mix up," and a whistle is blown, at the sound of which each employe grabs a stake or other handy weapon and yells "Hey, Ruba," which is the call to arms. A proposed victim is known as a "sucker," to the confidence men who follow the circus, and "fanning a guy" is to make sure he has no weapons on him before they proceed to get his money. To "frisk" a train is to arm a lot of husky employees with stakes and search the cars for "crooks" and "sure thing" men. There is no chance for argument at this time. If you see one of these worthies leaving in a hurry and ask him where he is bound, he will generally say "To the tall and uncut."—Detroit Free Press. Collector and Dealers Here is a little story about the collecting mania, which has the advantage of being quite true. A certain German professor of my acquaintance, who is an expert as to ancient Greek statuary, went the other day into a shop in Paris to inquire the price of a beautiful bust, which appeared to him to be authentic. The price was forty thousand francs, and the bust would not have been expensive at the price had been real, but it was not. The details by which the fact that it was not genuine was proved were pointed out to the seller, who made no other remark than this: "So be it, but now I have an offer to make to you. You doubtless like traveling. I will give you a ticket to any place in Europe you care to go to if you will only get out of Paris. I must, however, insist upon seeing you off at the station." The professor did not accept this generous offer, and the dealer is doubtless still on thorns.—London Globe. --- SELECTING NAMES. He—When we get better acquainted I shall call you by your first name.

Health will come with all its blessings to those who know the way, and it is mainly a question of right-lying, with all the term implies, but the efforts which strengthen the system, the games which refresh and the foods which nourish are important, each in a way, while it is also advantageous to have knowledge of the best methods of promoting freedom from unsanitary conditions. To assist nature, when nature needs assistance, it is all important that the medicinal agents used should be of the best quality and of known value, and the one remedy which acts most beneficially and pleasantly, as a laxative, is-Syrup of Figs—manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. With a proper understanding of the fact that many physical ills are of a transient character and yield promptly to the gentle action of Syrup of Figs, gladness and comfort come to the heart, and if one would remove the torpor and strain and congestion attendant upon a constipated condition of the system, take Syrup of Figs and enjoy freedom from the aches and pains, the colds and headaches and the depression due to inactivity of the bowels. In case of any organic trouble it is well to consult a competent physician, but when a laxative is required remember that the most permanently gratifying results will follow personal cooperation with the beneficial effects of Syrup of Figs. It is for sale by all reliable druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle. The excellence of Syrup of Figs comes from the beneficial effects of the plants used in the combination and also from the method of manufacture which ensures that perfect purity and uniformity of product essential in a perfect family laxative. All the members of the family from the youngest to the most advanced in years may use it whenever a laxative is needed and share alike in its beneficial effects. We do not claim that Syrup of Figs is the only remedy of known value, but it possesses this great advantage over all other laxatives that it acts gently and pleasantly without disturbing natural functions, in any way, as it is free from every objectionable quality or substance. To get its beneficial effects it is always necessary to buy the genuine and the full name of the Co.—California Fig Syrup Co.—is printed on the front of every package.
