VOL. XVII. CHEERS FOR FUNSTON Kansan Vigorously Defended By Friends in Congress. British Camp and "Jakle" Smith Come In For Some Scathing Remarks by Congressmen Feeley and Sibley. A Washington special says: Monday was District of Columbia day in the house under the rules, but the regular order was postponed until Monday next in order that the house might proceed with the consideration of the agricultural bill. The naval appropriation bill was reported and the house then resumed the consideration of the agricultural appropriation bill. Mr. Curtis, of Kansas, made a brief but fervent defense of General Funston against the criticism to which he had been subjected. "The people of Kansas," he began "are proud of the brave and daring record of gallant Fred Funston.- (Appuause on the republican side.) He has been criticised here for an act which for daring of conception and execution ranks with the greatest feats of arms—he captured the new George Washington—Aguinaldo." "If another had accomplished what General Funston did," he said, "the deed would have made him their candidate for president." He called attention to the fact that his promotion had been recommended by General Wheaton and General MacArthur, both soldiers of the civil war, soldiers who knew more of war and the rules of war than all the politicians in this country combined. "And his commission," he added, "was signed by the greatest president we have ever had—by the soldier, statesman and martyr, William McKinley." (Applause.) Mr. Feeley, of Illinois, submitted some remarks in support of the contention that the laws of neutrality were being violated by this government in allowing the shipment of mules and horses to South Africa for use by the British in the war against the Boer republics. He said that public sentiment in the United States favored the cause of the Boers and insisted that neither secretly nor openly should our government extend aid to the British. Mr. Feeley and Mr. Gillette, of Massachusetts, clashed upon the interpretation of that portion of the treaty of war in which bound the United States and England as to what constitutes war materials. Mr. Sibley, of Pennsylvania, followed with a bitter denunciation of General Jacob Smith. He said he had always defended the course of the administration and had believed in expansion, but when it came to orders such as had been issued by General Smith, humanity seemed to have marched backward. "I have heard of 'Timer, the martyr, and the Saracen scourge,' but, thank God, it took eighteen centuries after Calvary to produce a General Smith." He declared that General Smith should be discharged in disgrace. "He admits that he issued the order to make Samar a howling wilderness," said Mr. Sibley, "and to kill all over ten years of age. Such a man should not be permitte dto sta yin the army until-the sun goes down. He is a disgrace not only to himself, but to every man who wears the uniform of his country. No man can justify such orders, no matter how adroit may be the plea of his lawyers and defenders. He admits he issued the order, and I hope there is enough courage, patriotism and Christianity at the other end of the avenue to see that he is stripped of his uniform within forty-eight hours." Mr. Sibley was vigorously applauded by the democrats and some of the republicans. THIRTEEN TENEMENTS BURNED. Fanned By Gale Fire In Norfolk Gets Beyond Control of Department. Fire at Norfolk, Va.; Saturday afternoon destroyed thirteen frame tenement houses. The flames were fanned by a heavy wind and owing to low water pressure, the fire got beyond the control of the department. The buildings were occupied exclusively by negroes, who lost everything they had. In one of the burning houses was the dead body of a child, the removal of which caused the report that it had lost its life in the fire. The VETS AT MEMORIAL SERVICE. Loving Tribute to Memory of Fallen Comrades Form Solemn Feature of Wednesday's Proceedings. A solemn memorial service by those who still live for their comrades who fell in the cause of the Confederacy was held at Wednesday's meeting of the United Confederate Veterans at Dallas, Texas. The service was not only in honor of the soldiers who gave their lives for the Confederacy, but of the late Miss Winnie Davis, the "Daughter of the Confederacy." At noon all business was stopped short, and the great auditorium hushed. Chaplain General William Johes arose and prayed while the old veterans sat with bared heads. The venerable chaplain thanked the Almighty for the leader that had been given the Confederacy; he gave thanks for "the noble women of our southland who were ministering angels in the dark days of war" and for the comrades who had died gloriously. "Varina Anne Davls," more favorably known as Winnie, the "Daughter of the Confederacy," the crowned queen-of our affection—was my personal friend whom I so admired, honored and loved," the chaplain said, "that it is really difficult for me to speak of her except in terms that might to others seem extravagant." In glowing words the speaker referred to Jefferson Davis, "who adorned every subject that he touched;" to Albert Sydney Johnston, who "fell in the hour of victory at Shiloh;" to Robert E. Lee, "the peerless soldier and stanch gentleman;" to Beauregard, Kirby Smith, "the heroically daring" Hood, "Stonewall" Jackson "the taunderbolt of war." The chaplain ascribed virtues which had well earned the affection and respect of all men. He paid a glowing tribute to J. E. B. Stuart, Nathan Bedford Forrest, the "wizard of the saddle" Sterling Price, "whom his men affectionately called 'O'd Pap,'" to Dick Taylor and Wade Hampton, "whose recent death has carried grief to many homes and many hearts." HALF A CENT MORE. Beef Trust Adds Another Fraction to Their General Ralse. An Atlanta, Ga., dispatch says: Meat advanced half a cent a pound Wednesday and butchers were notified that another raise of one half a cent might be expected Thursday. Atlanta, as well as other places in the country, seems to be in the hands of the beef trust. Butchers are becoming a'armed at the increase, for as the price advances their trade falls off. They have been losing money steadily for the past three weeks. In many of the shops where four butchers were formerly employed only one is now used, showing how marked is the falling off in trade as the result of the effort on the part of the trust to gouge the people. That there will be a boycott of meat now seems certain. The cry that there is a scarcity of cattle is given but little credence in Atlanta as elsewhere, and the general opinion is that the trust is simply trying to get all the money possible for its product. It is a well known fact that the trust controls a majority of the cattle ranches and has matters so arranged that the individual dealers have but little opportunity to compete. Until recently the railroads paid the trust big rebates for the live stock and dressed meats shipped, but those rebates are no longer paid, and it is thought the trust intends to make the people pay for the loss of money that was once secured from the railroad companies. SANFORD DECLARED NOT GUILTY One Case Against Former Tax Collector Disposed of By Jury. At Rome, Ga., Wednesday morning the Sanford case was given the jury. At 2:15 in the afternoon the jury returned a verdict of not guilty. This is in the case that charges Sanford with embezzling $15,000 of the state's money. AMERICAN MARINES IN TROUBLE. Officers of Cruiser Chicago Given Sentences in Italian Prison. All the members of the crew of the United States cruiser Chicago, arrested for disorderly conduct at Venice, Italy, have been sentenced to terms of imprisonment ranging from three to four months each. Those sentenced are Robert F. Wynne, commanding the marine guard of the Chicago; Robert E. Ledbetter, assistant surgeon of the Chicago; Lieutenant John S. Doddridge, of the Chicago, and a marine named Wilfred Langley. TO GEORGIA WOMEN Scholarships Provided in State Normal School and Contribution to Winnie Davis Memorial. A Stirring Scene. The Southern Educational Conference came to a close at Athens, Ga., Saturday. Four thousand five hundred dollars, one-half of the balance necessary to complete the Winnie Davis memorial hall; $7,500 to provide fifty three-year scholarships of $50 each year at the Georgia State Normal school, to duplicate the forty-six scholarships provided by the women of Georgia; an offer to duplicate for a period of three years all new scholarships of $50 each that the women of Georgia may provide before January 1, 1903. to a number not exceeding fifty, were the contributions of the day of the general education board to the women of Georgia. Men cheered and wept and women laughed and cried in the fullness of joy when they comprehended all that the announcement meant. Ex Governor W. J. Northen, who was on the platform when, the announcement was made in the conference, sprang to his feet and asked the women of Georgia in the great audience to stand up, and then, when they had done so, asked the whole audience to stand up, not as people of one state or many states, but as people of one country. "The general education board will subscribe to the Georgia State Normal school at Athens for a period of three years fifty scholarships of $50 each to meet the forty six scholarships now provided by the women of Georgia—$2,500 a year for three years, $7,500 in all. In addition to the above general education board will duplicate for a period of three years new scholarships of $50 each that may be provided by the women of Georgia before January 1, 1903, tip to a number not exceeding fifty. "Understanding that the women of Georgia have raised $6,000 toward a fund of $15,000 for the erection of the Winnie Davis memorial hall, the general education board will subscribe one-half the balance, or $4,500; provided the remaining balance is subscribed before January 1, 1903. Signed, Willism H. Baldwin, Jr, chairman; George Foster Peabody, treasurer; Wallace Butterick, secretary and executive officer; J. L. M. Curry, Frederick T. Cales, Daniel C. Gillman, Morris K. Jesup, Robert C. Ogden, Walter H.-Page, Albert-Shaw. If the conditions specified in this announcement are compiled with to the full extent of the offer, as no doubt they will be, the total amount of this contribution of the general education board will be $19,500. It was several minutes before the conference was sufficiently composed to resume business. Sum Needed Amounts to Millions and Stangers the President-Elect. A special from Havana says: Generals Rabbi, Lor, Salcedo and Capote have tried to obtain from President-elect Palma an assurance that the Cuban army would be paid. Replying, Senator Palma said he was disposed to favor the army, but more soldiers would be needed than Cuba now has. He never suspected, he said, that the list of those to be paid contained 70,000 names, and the estimate of the amount due the soldiers, $80,000,000, frightened him. "The payment of this enormous sum would annihilate us," said the president. "I would have to lease Cuba to ralse this amount." Recent Publications Anent the Race Problem Subject of Criticism. At a meeting of the Ohio Val'ey Methodist Clergymen's Association at Cincinnati, Monday, some recent books were given pronounced "roasts" by preacher critics. A prominent officer of the association found much fault with "Socialism and the American Spirit." The next book to come under criticism was "The Leopard's Spots." The latter production was denounced as misrepresenting the race problem in the south. THIS LOOKS LIKE A DEPOT. President Spencer Said to Favor Plans For Muchly Discussed Union Station at Atlanta. The Atlanta Journal of Monday evening contained the following: It is understood from authoritative sources that the Southern Railway Company will accept the depot proposition from the state of Georgia, and that it will agree to the erection of a union station according to the plans prepared by Bradford L. Gilbert for the building of a new station on the present site. While the Southern railway people have made no official announcement of their decision, and while they will probably not do so until a meeting of the railroad men and the depot commission, it is understood that President Samuel Spencer approves of the plans drawn by Architect Gilbert. Mr. Gilbert showed the plans to President Spencer one day last week, and according to a letter received from Mr. Gilbert by Gov. Candler Monday morning, President Spencer expressed great surprise that the situation had been 'solved, and intimated rather strongly that he favored the plans. He would not express an opinion, however, and will not do so until a meeting is called by Governor Candler. The plans which Mr. Gilbert had with him here two weeks ago were unfinished, and he will not complete them until he has received suggestions fro mall the railroad men concerned. President J. W. Thomas, of the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis railroad and General Manager T. K. Scott, of the Georgia Railroad Company, have both seen the plans and approved them. This fact has been made known to Mr. Spencer, and it is an assured fact that when the Southern accepts the Central of Georgia will do the same thing, these two roads being the only ones to object to the proposition as it originally stood. The Atlanta and West Point will agree if the others do, and the Seaboard Air Line officials announced months ago that they would abide by any decision, renched by the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis railroad. This means that a new depot will be built in Atlanta on the present site. A meeting of the depot commission will be called in a few days and at that time the plans will be exhibited. If, however, the railroad men find it impossible to attend such a meeting, Architect Gilbert will visit each official personally and show the plans and receive their suggestions. It is hollowed now that the whole matter will be cleared up within a month's time, and that work will begin on the new station by July or August. Although the appropriation for the new station is not available until July 1, 1903, it is the general opinion that contractors would accept the contract to erect the station with the appropriation payable when available. The depot question has been hanging in the balance for several years, and it will be a source of delight to people all over the state to know that it will be brought to an end by the erection of a magnificent new station on the property of the state, which station will be the property of the state and from which the state will collect a big rental annually. SOL SMITH RUSSELL DEAD, Noted Actor Called From Life's Stage by the Grim Reaper. Sol Smith Russell, the actor, died in Washington City Monday noon at 2:30 o'clock. Mr. Russell had been in ill health for several years and was critically ill for several days prior to his death. There was no better known actor in the south than Sol Smith Russell, and he reached the point where the simple announcement that he was to appear at a theatre was sufficient to fill it, by hard work and natural ability. For years he was one of the greatest favorites that ever visited south and has been seen in "Poor Relation," "Peaceful Valley," "Bachelor's Romance," "The Heir at Law," and other comedies. Former Secretary of Agriculture Under Cleveland Passes Away. A Chicago dispatch says: Hon. J. Sterling Morton, former secretary of agriculture, died at 4:30 o'clock Saturday afternoon at Lake Forest, at the home of his son, Mark Morton. For several weeks Mr. Morton has been gradually failing. The nature of his sickness had not been determined and a week ago he was brought from his home at Nebraska City, Nebraska-Lake Forest for medical attendance. The change brought no improvement, and he failed gradually until death came. FAST TRAIN DITCHED FOUR MANGLED; SCORES HURT Ill-Fated, Train Was the California Limited-Terrific Impact Smashed Coaches, Into Kindling The California limited on the Atchison, Topeka and Sante Fe road, eastbound, was derailed on a curve at Cama, a switch five miles west of Medill, Mo., Tuesday while going at a tremendous speed. Four persons were killed and twenty-three were injured. The dead are: — Werthhelmer, San Diego, Cal.; little son of Henry C. Gates, Australia; Rufus Buster, Chicago, waiter in dining car; C. C. Fairbanks, Chicago, waiter in dining car. Fourteen of the injured were taken to the hospital at Fort Madison. The others, except the mail clerk, Runkle, continued on their journey. The dead were taken to Fort Madison. The insured Include Conductor Charles Sargent and a twin sister of the Gates boy. The parents of the twins were also badly bruised. Mr. and Mrs. Gates were en route from Australia, and were with their children eating in the dining car when the wreck occurred. The train was over an hour late and passed Wyaconda, the last station west, at the rate of 65 miles an hour. When the heavy train struck the curve at Cama the rails spread. The train consisted of two mail cars, seven Pullmans and one dining car. The mail car, the dining car and the two forward sleepers went into the ditch. The tender was ditched, but the engine remained on the track. The deralled coaches were smashed to kindling wood, even the axles being bent out of shape. The conductor went to a farm house and telephoned a report of the wreck. The railroad officials then sent a relief train from Fort Madison. The trainmen worked nobly, assisted by uninfused passengers and neighboring farmers. The place of the accident is distant from all communication. Every effort is being made to complete the list of dead and wounded, but most of the latter are in the railroad hospital at Fort Madison and those in charge refuse information. BOOKER GETS A CHECK. Atlanta Man Donates Neat Sum to Negro School at Tuskegee. The Ogden party reached Tuskegee, Ala., early Tuesday morning and were driven to the Alabama Conference college, where they were given a reception under a hug oak tree on the campus. Following this they went to the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. Booker T. Washington's school for colored students, for the day's exercises there. Among the prominent men at Tuskegee on this occasion, in addition, to the Ogden party, were Governor Jelks, of Alabama, and Mr. H. M. Atkinson, of Atlanta, and President C. A. Wickersham, of the Atlanta and West Point railway. Mr. Atkinson and President Wickersham spent Monday with Mr. William H. Baldwin, Jr., inspecting the work of the institute and attended the evening exercises in the chapel. Mr. Atkinson was so much impressed with what he saw that he handed Principal Washington a check for $1,000 to help on the work. The forenoon exercises at the institute were devoted to the dedication of the Carnegie library, following which an old-fashioned out-door barbecue dinner was served. The afternoon was devoted to the annual exercises of Tuskegee Institute. HANNA,FAILS HERE. Despite All, Efforts to Avert, Gligantic Strike, Sense, Imminent All indications point to a gigantic strike of the miners in the anthracite coal regians, involving over a hundred thousand men Senator Hanna, of the national civic federation, has been in New York some days trying to get the operators and the miners to agree, but his efforts have been futile and a strike seems inevitable. It is learned that the operators are set against granting the demands of the miners in spite of the influence of Senator Hanna. --- The New Industries Reported In the South Durham the Past Week SAVANNAH CITIZENS PROTEST. Special Meeting to Urge President to Withhold an Appointment. One of the largest special meetings of the Savannah, Ga., cotton exchange ever held convened at noon Monday. It was called for the purpose of protesting to President Roosevelt against the appointment of Person as collector of the port of Savannah as distasteful to the business men of the city and port. The resolutions were passed unanimously. They set out that the appointment is the most important in the gift of the president in Georgia and that it is one that should be held by some one who can mingle with the people of the city in a business and social way. "To have a negro collector," the resolution says, "is like having none at all, as he performs none of the functions of his office, these all being performed through a deputy. The resolutions are almed at J. H. Deveaux, the present colored incumbent. A copy of them will be sent, to the president and also to the senators and representatives from Georgia. HEROIC SCRUB WOMEN. With Brooms and Scouring Mops They Prevent Big Jail Delivery. A wholesale jail delivery was frustrated by scrub women at Kokomo, Ind. Wednesday. In the absence of the sheriff the prisoners sawed the bars and escaped through them. When the women opened the door to scrub the floors of the corridor, the prisoners made a dash for liberty, but were clubbed back by the women, who did good work with brooms and mops. After the prisoners were repulsed, Turkey Applegate came to the assistance of the women. PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY, BY THE TRIBUNE PUBLISHING CO 116 W. St. Julian Street. Ga. 'Phone 574.

If recent events do not cause the thoughtful Negro to bend all of his energies toward race unification on every line, then nothing else will. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT is a typical American with not a taint of race prejudice. This much has been demonstrated in our community during the week. The radical man can accomplish but very little. He will at the time receive the applause of the thoughtless ones, but even they will in time leave him to his fate. WE acknowledge the invitation to attend the commencement exercises of the Wm. McKinley Normal and Educational School at Alexandria, Va., on May 12, Editor Magnus L. Robinson, president. GEORGIA has two senators in Congress and the First Congressional District has a congressman. Although these representatives be white men and Democrats, yet they are the representatives of the whole people. They are as duty bound to present protests in behalf of the most humble citizen, as for one of an opposite class. BEWARE of the person who makes a promise and fails to keep it, especially where finance is concerned One of the failures of our people is in this direction. If they know that they are not able to do a certain thing, they should not promise to do so. The men of affairs now-a-days have but little for the presson to do that do not keep his promise. Some of our friends of the opposite race, located in the southern clime, are not only against capable colored men holding federal positions, but are narrow enough to protest against those who donate towards his education. Some of these same friends, at times, proclaim that they are the Negro's best friend, and yet, whenever an opportunity presents itself for them to help the Negro; they can always be found on the other side. THERE are hundreds of small boys and girls in the city who are daily going to ruin and at the same time influencing others. A visit to certain sections of the city by day, and especially night would prove this assertion. THE TRIBUNE often speaks of them, and is hoping that some organized movement be inaugurated to reclaim them. Let the ministers in their meetings act and the good people would assist. Something must be done for these young people and the sooner, the better. EARLY in the year THE TRIBUNE assured its readers that Col. Deveaux would be reappointed Collector of Customs of this port. This has been done, but after a vigorous fight, tainted solely by prejudice of race. Of course two colored men opposed him for the position, but this had no weight, because they were not even considered seriously. The other fight was directed not alone against Col. Deveaux, but the entire race. The white opponents of Col. Deveaux, could do naught else but praise his competency and conduct of office. Their main fight was against his color. They were so puerile in this until it reached a case of ridicule. The President in making the appointment touched the keynote when he said: "No charge is made against Deveaux except his color, and this, is not to be considered in federal appointments." If Col. Deveaux's appendants were able to, they would make other charges. They were not even able to show that his incumbency of the office has caused the decrease of the business of the port, which would, no doubt, caused his defeat, but on the other hand the business of the port had increased to such a great extent during his first term that it tended greatly toward influencing the President to reappoint him. It is about time for our white citizens to desist being so narrow, and recognize a "Man for a that." Memorial Service. On Sunday afternoon last, the First Congregational church, Whitfield Square was crowded with persons to witness the memorial service in honor of the late Rev. L. B. Maxwell. The entire service was in keeping with the sentiment of the deceased. There was not an elaborate display in anything. The only emblem of mourning was the tastefully draped picture of Mr. Maxwell which was hung over the chair stand and attracted the attention of every one directly upon entering the church. On the pulpit were evergreen, lilies, flowers, etc. Mr. Maxwell's life was one of sunshine and happiness, and he had the knack of carrying them with him wherever he went. For one who lived such a life as Mr. Maxwell did, death was truly a transition, and his memory could not be fully revered without carrying out his earthly sentiment. Those who spoke had a beautiful subject. They said nothing that was not in keeping, with the deceased life, or anything that any of the hearers could have the least doubt. Promptly at the hour designated the choir commenced the service by the anthem "Come Holy Spirit." A fervent prayer was made by Rev. J. J. Durbam, D. D., after "The life and character of Rev. Maxwell from birth to early mahood," was given by Prof. S. B. Morse, who also acted as master of ceremonies. "For me to live is Christ," was sung by choir and congregation. The following original poem was read by Mr. E W Sherman: What means this throng, that sits with solomn faces; Within these walls-forsooth, what means day. Of wooited mirth, which, ersewhile, held a away? Be it to julp some fancied agrivation, To chase a shadow, grim, off witif-a song? Ah, No! they meet in fit commemoration Of one force was spent, in fighting wrong. Like some tall clit of fame in song or story, He loomed aloft, unmindful of the height To which he rose but, in a maze of glory He lent to lowiness a blessed light. A light that lashed forth over this state, this nation. And blighted sect and blended class and clan; So that the grave against that great congregation. Vibrated the cord which binds it man to man. Fruit of his toll, mark how religious union Has banished "i sns" and beckoned love and How fervently do saINTS now sees communion With saINTS enlisted in, the cause of right I Of knowledge deep, of subtitle disquisition, Of them speech, and elegance of style. Hed on behalf brow with tears of deep con- tition. Or light it with the radiance of a smile. Conversant with philosophers and sages, And the master of wisdom with ceaseless moll. To light a fame that all superseding light Might reap the fruit of their incessant toil. He used his lore; but not, to gild an awning To selfishness; and strove with tongues and pen, And prayer and song as if the end discerning The truth of the truth, and the ensuing light. When circling years have made the story older Of how his barque shed from the shoals of sin And how temptation made his heart the bolder To shift his saINTS and safely enter in. The harbor of perpetual peace and pleasure, And the grace of the face of the face Of him whose power, we mortals cannot measure. Save by the law of his amazing grace, How fittingly will that great generation, With saINTS in the light, bright, Splines praises, with deserving veneration. To him whose life was open to the light. A paper on "Rev Maxwell as a scholar," was read by Dr S P Lloyd. Mrs Jennie C Houstoun rendered the solo, "The Sands of Time are Sinking," Prof. John McIntosh made an address on "Rev. Maxwell as a Man." The Solo, "Not half has ever been Told," was sung by Miss H. C. Houstoun. A talk on the personal recollection of the deceased was made by Lawyer A. L. Tucker. "Beyond the Gates of Paradise," was rendered by Mrs. J Florence Whaley. Other remarks were made by Rev. J. J. Durham, D D, Rev J W Roberts and Dr. T J. Davis who read the following resolutions from Crescent Lodge K of P. : Whereas it has pleased Almighty God, in His inscrutable Providence to call from our midst, Rev. Leigh B Maxwell, one of our comrades and brothers, to the reward of the just and inheritance of the salts, we would most numbly bow to the will of our comrades, who is always well; knowing that in His hands are the edulcity of a man, and that He is too wise to err. In so doing it is hereby Reolved: 1. That in the death of Rev. Leigh B. Maxwell, not only the First Congregational Church of Savannah, over the was pastor night on to twelve years not more than a week in work with which he was connected, not his mediate associates and neighbors in his town home, but the entire Christian community has suffered an irreparable loss, in that his life was a living exponent of all that was pure, good, manly and unhappy; by setting an example which has long shaken some the guiding star for some struggling young men, particularly so of his own race. Resolved: 2: That in his death the cause of education has lost one of its most vigorous students, one of its most hearty supporters and one whose heart, desire, pen and tongue advocated plans whose service we extensive for that educational facility which we leave out of its embrace the poorest boy of this commonwealth, black or white. Resolved : 3 That in the death of the Rev. L. B. Maxwell, the race with which he was identified, has lost one of its most distinguished sons, one of its most brilliant stars; one of its deep thinkers and one of its most judicious counsellors, whose life, moral and Christian breathed "peace on earth: good will to men." Resolved: 4. That in the death of Rev. Leigh B. Maxwell, Crescent Lodge No. 2, K. of P. has lost one of its most honored members, that during his residence in this city it was his duty, whenever not otherwise pressed, to grace our Castle Hall, not only with his presence, but with his tender counsels and fervent advice; helped to carry safely the Pythian ship over shoals of impetuosity and reefs of misunderstanding. We as Pythlops left on this side of the river, will strive to emulate all that was good in our late brother; thereby shedding a ray of hope and pleasantness to all who are in the field of which we are present inhabitants, hoping earnestly to, by and by, grasp his hand in that celestial re-union, which knows no parting. Resolved: 5 That in the death of the Rev. Leigh B. Maxwell, his family has lost a kind, loving and indulgent parent; one who was always ready to do and make his way to the fort. That in deploring his demise we fervently commend them to Him who has promised to be a Father to the fatherless and a husband to the widow. That we as an organization will ever carry them upon our sympathy, in every and all things that may appertain to them, substantially succoring their distress if any arise. Resolved: 9.4. That's a copy of these 'feeble and inadequate resolutions' be seat to the family of our deceased brother be spread upon the minutes of Crescent Lodge and be 'printed in THE BAVANNAH TRIBUNE. Tearfully submitted for Crescent Lodge No. 2. K of P., OG Jordan, LM Pleasant, LM Ferguson, LS Parks, Dr T James Davis, Chairman, LB Thompson, Exofficio, Committee.

L. Tucker as was also resolutions from the church by Dea. O. G. Jordan. Benediction was pronounced by Rev J W Roberts. The Following resolutions were adopted by the Minsters Union signed by Rev J. W. Roberts, chairman: "That we readily acknowledge our deep sympathy for the family from whom an inscrutable Providence has removed a loving husband, indulgent father and a worthy son in the person of Rev L. B. Maxwell. Resolved that this Union express its regret for the loss of such a useful and worthy leader of our race and that we regard him a thorough scholar, an orator, a pulpit reformer who had few equals and no superior. He naturally took his rank among the greatest statesmen and leaders. College Dots. Everything on the campus has an air of business, the commencement exercises being the all absorbing theme.

Large congregations greeted the pastor at each service. At 11 o'clock the pastor preached a very interesting and well received sermon from Acts 11, 14 subject "God's way of communicating his will to men." At 8:30.p.m; the pastor delivered a most able and impressive sermon on the "Deaconship" from Acts 4:3. In this discourse, the qualifications, duties and relations of the deacon to in such a case none present could be found. At the close of the term, Brosz L. A. Mack and Wm Hicks, were ordained to the deaconship. The service was very impressive. The Sunday school which is presided over by deacon B. M. Davis as Superintendent, at 3:30 was well attended. We are glad to state that Miss Lizzie G. Fleming who is Secretary of the Sunday school but who has been indisposed for quite awhile is able to be out again moving around to the delight of her many friends.

The ordinance of baptism will be administered to-morrow at 11 o'clock to a number of candidates. Success Club Notes. Morto: "DON'T WAIT FOR YOUR OPPON- TUNITY; MAKE IT" The meeting on Tuesday night was well attended and much business of importance was transacted. It was decided by the Library Committee that any citizen could take stock in the proposed library and by subscribing a stated amount of shares become an honorary member. Any person who is interested in our club and would like to take shares in our library is invited to address our Library Committee who will gladly furnish all desired information. Many flattering compliments have been paid the club for its noble effort to develop the highest ideals in young men and make them successful and respectable citizens. We cannot speak too highly of those who have encouraged us in this way and otherwise, because, where pleasure-s eking seems to be the mission and object of the younger minds, we need the counsel and direction of the experienced ones to assist in oersaying this dominant influence and convert its subj-cts into seekers of qualities that make men who would be respectable and acceptable citizens. We are aware of the fact that why so many of our young men fail in life is for, the reason they are not taught the true principles that underlies a good character and demands success in life, otherwise than in the church and school. These are among the qualities that the club teaches young men that they may surmount all difficulties and live successful lives. Our motto we think, is very appropriate, because it is a notable fact that many young men are waiting for their opportunity, and in most instances it never comes, seemingly, and they lose all hope for making their mark, and ruin their useful lives in many ways. The mission of our club is to inspire aspirants by teaching them success-winning qualities. The following officers were elected at our dastard meeting: M. A. Green, Solicitor Gen'l; W. duH. Brown, Gen'l Secretary; — Summous, Clerk of Order; — Daniels, Chaplain. The following are the chairmen of the several committees: J. H. Baldwin, Library Committee; W. I. Henderson, Investigating Committee; C. Allen, Employment Committee; H. T. Singleton, Building Committee. Our charter has not arrived yet but it is expected during next week. St. Phillips Church Dots. There was a large congregation in attendance at the 11 a.m service on last Sunday. Rev. C. O. Mitchell of Guyton preached an eloquent sermon. His text was 1 Cor. 4:18. His subject was, "The things which are seen are temporal, and the things which are not seen are eternal." Everybody was well pleased with his discourse. Prof. J. H. Baldwin and his fine corps of teachers deserve much credit for bringing his school up to such a high standard. The Christian Endeavor was largely attended on last Sunday. A good program was presented. At 8 p.m, Rev Williams better known as the "Olind preacher," delivered an excellent sermon to a large congregation. His text was 1 Psalms, 1 t verse, subject, "As a tree planted by the rivers." Rev Williams is an evangelist and whenever you hear him you enjoy a fine sermon. Olympia Lodge No 10, K. of P., will celebrate their 39th Pythian Period by attending service accompanied by the Ladies Court on tomorrow night. Don't forget our big rally on the second Sunday in May.

Every person that will pay, their name will be recorded on the church book as having paid on the last purchase debt of this church, providing they pay $1 and upward. Rev.

Deveaux Appointed. ‘The announcement came soon af ter noon on Wednesday last that | President Roosevelt .had appointed O01, Jolin H. Deveaux, as Cettector of Cuatoms for this port, Col. Deveadix ia the present col- lector and his term expired in Feb- Tuary last. About the first of- the year he made a trip to Washington to further his claim for the collec- torship. He was assured of his re- appointment, not only by his friends high upin council,but by the ‘President. He soon after returned home feeling satisfied of the result. ‘There were abont half dozen appli- canta for the position, and some of them put up a vigorous fight for it. This was supplimented by -protests from the Cotton Exchange and Board of Trade on the eve of the ap- pointment, All of this did not rof- le the confidence Col. Deveanx and hié friends had in his reappoint- ment; while he was urged to go to Washington to look after his ap- pointment, he refused to do so, re- lying solely on the promises made, backed by his record in otfice, which none of his opponents could be- smirch. ‘Che appointment came on Wednesday, and his friends are proud of it. It was announced that a protest would be made against his confir- mation, but it will avail nothing. Col. Devenux’s friends can feel as- sured that he will be confirmed and will for the next four years, if Prov- idence permits, competently dis; charge the duties of the col- lectorship of this port. Among those opposed him for the posttion are some of the leadingwhite citizens. His opponents were: Col. T.S Wolly, dr, Maj. J. R. Sheldon, Mr. T. Lloyd Owens, who holds a clerkship in the Custom House; Maj. Wright, of the Georgia State Industrial College, and another Ne- pro. s ' Evangelical Union The Evangelical Ministers Union met at the usual hour Tuesday morning last at St. Philips church with Rev.

G. PRICE efficient vitality, an operation for ovarian troubles. Not a very cheerful prospect, to be sure. I, however, was advised to try Lydia E.

Before a month had passed I felt that my general health had improved; in three months more I was cured, and I have been in perfect health since. I did not lose an engagement or miss a meal. "Your Vegetable Compound is certainly wonderful, and well worthy the praise your admiring friends who have been cured are ready to give you. I always speak highly of it, and you will admit I have good reason to do so." Mrs. G. Bruce, Lansing, Mich. $5000 forselt if above testimonial is not genuine.

In Telling of War, General Joe Wheeler Declares Islanders Are Incapable of Torture In a lengthy interview published by the New York Herald, General Josepb Wheeler, retired, who is at the home of his sister in Brooklyn, has discussed the Philippines in the light of recent developments from his point of view after six months' service in command of a brigade. "My service was confined," he said, "to that section of the country extending for about 128 miles above Manila and some 30 or 40 miles in breadth. It is a thickly populated country, its cities have schools and the people are more or less educated. The impression I had from these people was that all they want was an honest, fair, just government, and I found them very appreciative of kindness. "We had a great many fights with the insurgents, but in no instance was there any crucify by our soldiers, or, so far as I know, any killing except according to the rules of war. "I never heard of any water cure, or any other infliction of torture upon the Fillipinos." "Is it true," he was asked, "that Sherman's army, on its march to the sea, was guilty of such acts as have been attributed to our troops in the Phillipines?" "It is true that Sherman's army did burn buildings, but I never heard of its ever killing or hurting a non-combatant," replied General Wheeler, thoughtfully. "My associations with the Fillplanos," he continued, "led me to believe that they are not a malevolent people. It is true, they were not always frank, and this was due to the fact that the insurgent chiefs were constantly demanding information and money from them, and they were afraid to neglect these demands, because, as they told me, if they did so they would suffer very severely in their property and possibly in their lives, if our troops left, and there was a constant impression among them that our troops would only remain temporarily in that country. "There were some instances of cruelty on the part of the Fillipinos, but they were very few. All the prisoners who were taken by them and who were returned to us, whom I talked to, spoke enthusiastically of the kindness with which they were treated with the exception of Lieutenant Glmore. He complained of harsh treatment and almost starvation. There was one case of cruelty by General Akin, who it was said, ordered three prisoners to be shot when he was so pressed that he thought they would be retaken by us. "My impression was that the Filipinos are responsive to kind methods, and appreciate them, and their general expressions to me were that they should love to be citizens of the United States if they can be equals of the Americans, but they do not want to be connected with any government where they will be regarded as inferiors." "In your opinion," he was asked "can the United States assimilate the Filipinos without exterminating them?" "With the exception of a few localities peace and quiet and order exist in the Philippines now, quite up to the standard of our own territories, and I am convinced this condition will be universal throughout these islands in a very short time." "Americans will go there because they find advantages that are offered by few countries, and in a few years they will be the controlling element in those islands." General Examination of Teachers. The general examination for the school teachers of the state of Georgia will be held this year on May 14th. The announcement was made Tuesday by State School Commissioner G. R. Glenn. Over 5,000 teachers will probably take the various examinations on that day. MILES'IS VERY QUIET. General Saves Himself By Keeping His Muzzle on Straight. According to a Washington dispatch it is now believed that no further consideration will be given by the president to the subject of retiring Lieutenant General Miles, so long as the commander of the army continues his present attitude of reserve, and that the case will be allowed to remain as it is unless General Miles himself should do something or take some action to revive the recent determination of the president. TWO DIE IN EXPLOSION. Locomotive Boiler Turns Lose and Plays Frightful Havoc. A locomotive attached to a passenger train on the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western railroad exploded near Dover Monday, killing the engineer and fireman. None of the passengers were hurt. The engine turned a complete somersault from the force of the explosion. Disclosures In Courtmartial of General "Jakie" Smith Creates Great Consternation Among Solons. A Washington special says: A wave of indignation swept over congress when the full import of the admission made by General "Jakie" Smith's counsel of his responsibility for the slaughter orders in the Samar campaign began to be realized. The testimony in the Waller trial had called forth indignant declarations from administration defenders that it was absolutely impossible for General Smith to have given any such orders as Waller and other marine officers claimed. Friday, afternoon's cables were naturally received with doubt, public men hesitating to express their opinions concerning them until their accuracy could be confirmed. Almost everybody expected that Saturday morning's dispatches would be of a different tenor, but when these also showed that General Smith had assumed full responsibility for the kill-and-burn orders, and had specified that all over 10 years old should be shot down, there was an outburst of criticism on the part of senators and representatives without regard to their affiliations. Democrats are less disposed to criticise General Smith as an individual than are the republicans. The democrats say that General Smith has simply acted in accordance with the methods employed by the army in the Philippines as a whole, and that his orders doubtless had the approval of General Chaffee. They contend that "Jakie the burner;" is no worse than his fellow officers; that the real fault is in the system and the conditions, which place an army in the country of an alien people with no restraint upon it. They hold that the responsibility for these acts is higher up. The republicans, on the other hand, evince a disposition to hold General Smith alone responsible. War department officials treat the matter very lightly. They are of the opinion that there is no good reason for General Smith's conviction by the courtmartial trying him. It is generally believed that General Smith will not be convicted unless there are specific instructions from Washington that this be done. It is known, of course, that the sentiment of the army indorses the methods of Generals Smith, Franklin, Bell and others, and there is no doubt in the minds of army officers in Washington that General Smith will be acquitted unless it is deemed beneficial for political effect that he be made a scapegoat. That this may be done is considered a decided probability, though, of course, there is nothing definite on which to base predictions to this effect. BEEF TRUST BEGINS HEDGING. Move Toward Prosecution Has Effect of Lowering Prices. Ample evidence has now come to light that the beef trust is seeking cover in New York city, as well as its numerous other strongholds throughout the country. Simultaneously with the announcement from the west that the trust had begun to lower the prices of choice beef cuts comes a rumor that similar action will be taken in the east. That this is done with the object of forestalling the investigation on the part of the United States authorities there can be no doubt, because the packers represented in the combine have heretofore predicted with confidence that the price would advance rather than decline. One of the reasons given for the contemplated action of the local packers in lowering prices is the sudden advent of New Zealand's spring lamb on the market. A large consignment arrived in New York, in prime condition Saturday morning, and this is spoken of as an evidence of what could be done if foreign shipments were facilitated by congressional action in regard to duties. EARLY SETTLEMENT PREDICTED. Dyers' Strike at Paterson on Eve of Satisfactory Adjustment. The opinion was expressed in Paterson, N. J., Thursday that there would be an early settlement of the dyers' strike. The operators of the dyeing plants have refused to consider the demands of the men for 20 cents an hour for learners and a five-year contract, but have shown a disposition to make concessions on the general wage scale. TORNADO·STRIKES TEXAS TOWN. Seven Killed, Forty Hurt and Town of Glenrose Badly Wrecked. A telephone message from Morgan, Texas, was received in Dallas Monday night which stated that a tornado passed over Glenrose, a small town in Scermervell county, between 5 and 6 o'clock Monday afternoon, killing seven persons, injuring forty more, and demolishing much property. One-third of the business houses of the town were demolished and the property loss is estimated at $250,000. NATURE'S ICE HOUSE Food For Birds That Is Preserved in the Arctic Regions. The number of birds that go to the arctic regions to breed is vast beyond conception. They go not by thousands, but by tons and hundreds of thousands, and because, nowhere else in the world does nature provide at the same time and in the same place such a lavish prodigality of food. The vegetation consists of cranberry, cloudberry and crowberry bushes, and these forced by the perpetual sunshine of the arctic summer, bear enormous crops of fruit. Put the crop is not ripe until the middle and end of the arctic summer, and if the fruiting birds had to wait until it was ripe they would starve in the meantime, so they arrive on the very day of the melting of the snow. But each year the snow descends on an inimense crop of ripe fruit before the birds have time to gather it. It is thus preserved perfectly fresh and pure, and the melting of the snow discloses the bushes, with the unconsumed last year's crop hanging on them or lying ready to be eaten, on the ground. The frozen meal stretches across the breadth of northern Asia. It never decays and is accessible the moment the snow melts. The same heat which thaws the fruit brings into being the most prolific insect life in the world—the mosquito swarms on the tundra. No European can live there without a veil after the snow melts. The gun barrels are black with them and clouds of them often obscure the light. Thus the insect eating birds have only to open their mouths to fill them with mosquitoes, and thus the presence of swarms of cliff chaffs, pips and the wagtails in this arctic region is accounted for.

New Policeman (after a pause)—Degorra, yer Honor, the man may have been, a thafe, but he was no llar!—Tit-Bits. To the North Pole by Balloon. During the last few years many attempts have been made to teach the North Pole by ship, but on account of the fee have all been failures. It would seem, therefore, that the only way to reach the coveted spot is by the balloon.
