VOL. XVII. NEW REPUPLIC BORN NEW REPUPLIC BORN OLD GLORY IS HAULED DOWN President Palma Inaugurated With Simple Ceremonies and Island Is Formally Given in Charge of the Cubans. At Havana Tuesday Senior Palma attached his signature to a document as president of the Cuban republic, after an exchange of congratulations, and the veteran general, Gomez, ascended to the roof of the palace, where he was accorded a great reception. General Wood personally lowered the American colors, which were saluted, and with his own hands holsted the Cuban flag, as an act of the Uuilted States, Gomez assisting. At the time the transfer took place in Havana, General Whitleside, at Santiago, turned over his authority to his Cuban successor and sailed away with the American cavalry which had been in garrison there. General Wood and his staff and the American troop embarked immediately after the hoisting of the Cuban flag, and the American ships steamed out of the harbor. All Nature Smiles. The natal day of Cuba found Havana arrayed like a queen to awalt the coming of her lord. She seemed reinvested for the occasion with the dignity of the prosperous days of her power and wealth. The decorations were universal. There was not a residence, pretentious or humble that did not bear upon its qualnt facade some emblem in honor of the event. The many arches erected at the entrance of plazas by political societies, fraternal clubs, residences and business organizations had an air of real grandeur. The whole city seemed suddenly buried beneath a forest of waiving banners. The decorations along the water front were exceedingly lavish and all the shipping in the harbor was dressed in gala attire. The majority of the ships flew the American ensign at the main and the Cuban colors at the fore or mizzen. The United States armored cruiser Brooklyn, which was to take General Wood away, and the steamer Moro Castle, of the Ward line, on which the troops were to embark, as well as the foreign warships which had been sent by their governments to be present at the birth of the new republic, were dressed with streams of signal flags fore and aft, man of war fashion. The American colors, which were to be hauled down in a few hours, still floated above the grim walls of the fortresses which guard the entrance of the harbor. Not another bit of color showed upon them. Much curiosity was aroused by a statute of freedom which had been raised during the night in Central park, upon the pedastal where, for ceturies, a statute of Queen Isabella had stood. During the morning a bountiful breakfast was given to several thousand poor children by Mrs. Paine, of Boston, who has passed the winter in Havana for many years. The actual transfer of the control of the island was scheduled to occur exactly at noon, Havana time, which is 12:30 p. m., Washington time, but those invited to witness the ceremony were requested to be at the palace at 11:30 a. m. They included besides the American officers and the members of President-Elect Palma's cabinet, the members of congress, the supreme court judges, the governors of the provinces, the officers of the visiting warships, the foreign consuls, William Jennings Bryan, the other visiting American statesmen, several of Senor Palma's Central Valley (N. Y.) neighbors; Horatio Rubens, counsel for the former Cuban junta; Colonel William TREMENDOUS MERGER PLAN. All Kinds of Utilities at Norfolk to be Consolidated. The plan to consolidate the street railway, lighting, healing, refrigerating, ferry and kindred lHereresis at Norfolk, Va., and vicinity, was consummated at Baltimore Tuesday. An underwriting syndicate is being formed to finance the deal. The capitalization of the company will be as follows; First mortgage bonds (authorized $4,000,000). $3,000,000; income bonds, $2,000,000; capital stock - (authorized $10,000,000), $4,000,000; total, $9,000,000. Savannah The So Conference at Dallas, Texas, Decides—Book Agents, Howevof; A special from Dallas, Texas, says: Tuesday was the most sensational and interesting session of the Methodist conference since its opening. The war claim matter was made the special order of the day, and the debate has been long and heated. It required an extra session to dispose of the questions. The strongest men of the conference were brought to the fore, and Dallas was treated to a display of forensic oratory. As predicted, the conservatives have won a decisive victory. The conference has decided on the following action by fifty majority: 1. To condemn and repudiate the action of its agents. 2. To hold the money until the senate of the United States should, by affirmative action, declare the passage of the bill ordering its payment was due to the misleading statement of its agents. 3. To ratify the action of its bishops in conditionally returning the money and pledging itself to redeem the promise, should congress so require. The minority fought every inch of ground before their defeat. The feeling now is one of general satisfaction that the vexed question is settled, and the general sentiment is that the wisest solution of the problem has been reached. A few predicted a disastrous effect upon the church at large from the action of the conference, but these are regarded as prophets of evil. The attendance was the largest since the conference convened. There was plenty of life to the debate, but it lacked acrimony which had been expected. Astor Chanler, and a few other specially invited guests. Ceremonies Were Simple. The ceremony itself was brief and simple. After formal greetings General Wood read the documentary transfer prepared by the war department, pledging the new government to immediately proclaim the constitution and the Platt amendment contained in the appendix and to undertake all obligations assumed by the United States, with respect to Cuba, by the treaty of Paris. General Wood also delivered the following letter: "White House, Washington, May 10, 1902—To the President and Congress of the Republic of Cuba—Sirs: On the 20th of this month the military governor of Cuba will, by my direction, transfer to you the control and government of the island of Cuba, to be thenceforth exercised under the provisions of the constitution adopted by your constitutional convention as on that day promulgated, and he will thereupon declare the occupation of Cuba by the United States to be at an end. "At the same, time I desire to express to you the sincere friendship and good wishes of the United States and our most earnest hopes for the stability and success of your government, for the blessings of peace, justice, prosperity and ordered freedom among your people, and for enduring friendship between the republic of the United States and the republic of Cuba. "THEODORE ROOSEVELT, "President of the United States." STRIKE WAS UNJUSTIFIED. Carolina Committee of Cotton Mill Workers Condemn Walk-Out. A committee from the locked out operatives of cotton mills in South Carolina, who visited Augusta, Ga., Tuesday to confer with the mill owners and striking employees, announce that in their opinion the King mill men, who struck and brought on the lockout, were not justified in their action. The South Carolina men tried for some time to induce the King men to return to work, but the latter refused saying the interference of the locked out operatives was an impertinence. Considerable suffering is reported in South Carolina among the locked out men as they are given no relief by the textile union. Georgia Senator Discourses Upon Various Philippine Problems. Senator Bacon was the star speaker in the Philippine debate in the senate Tuesday, devoting himself for nearly four hours to discussing the different problems presented in the question of policy toward the legislation for the Philippine islands. The Georgia senator was listened to by a large majority of the senate and the galleries were well filled, which is an unusual thing in a debate which has lasted as long as this one. OVER TWO HUNDRED ARE DEAD Most Frightful Calamity Yet Recorded in Long List of Disasters Which Have Occurred in Stale of Tennessee. The worst disaster in the history of Tennessee mining occurred at 7:30 o'clock Monday morning' when between 175 and 225 men and boys met instant death at the Fraterville coal mine, located two miles west of Coal Creek, as a result of a gas explosion. Out of the large number of men and boys who went to work in the early morning developments at 10 o'eibek Monday night showed that only one alive and he is so badly injured that he canhot live. This man was William Mörgan, an aged Englishman, who was a roadman in the mine and was blown out of the entrance by the force of the explosion. Soon after the explosion a party was organized and started in the hope of rescuing part of the men at least. The party was, however, unable to go more than 500 yards on account of slate having fallen in the main corridor, and on account of stifling smoke and gas and very excessive heat. The latter indicates that the mine is burning. It is three miles form the mouth of the mine to the point where the men were at work, and this distance would have to be traversed to, get to them. Probably upheavels of earth, coal and slate will, have to be excavated in order to reach the objective point. Women and Children Frantic. The scene at the entrance to Fraterville mine was heartending. Fully 10,000 women and children are assembled there. They were mad in their grief, and appealingly begged friends to go into the burning furnace and rescue their loved ones, if rescued was possible. It was at first reported that an explosion also occurred in Thistle mine which adjoins Fraterville mine almost on the opposite side of the mountain: Thistle mine, has it is stated, practically been abandoned and it is understood to have been the intention of the Coal Creek Coal company, who owns the property, to abandon Fraterville at an early date, on account of it having been worked continuously for over 30 years. Tblatle Mine in Peril. It is believed that gas is still emanating from the Fraterville and that this is gathering in Thistle mine from which evidences of heat are also coming. However, it is not believed that Thistle mine is on fire. No men were at work in Thistle mine, thus confining the disaster to Fraterville, as far as casualties are concerned. Superintendent George Camp was asked for an official statement for publication. Beyond the figures given above and the opinion that the explosion was probably caused from gas igniting, he had nothing to say. He will probably issue a statement later, giving the names of all the men who were known to be in the mine. Two rescuing parties were started into the Thistle and Fraterville mine entrances as soon as possible after the explosion. The Thistle party was unable to make any headway whatsoever, as the gas stifled the men almost as soon as they entered the shaft. The Fraterville party went as far as the "Parting of the Ways" into the mine, where a heavy fall of slate was encountered. This has cut off any further progress into the mine until the slate obstacle can be removed. The intense heat indicates that the mine is on fire. At 11 o'clock a. m., there was no longer any question but that the Thistle miners suffocated in the disaster. Stockholders Retire Preferred Stock and Issue New Securities. A special meeting of the stockholders of the United States Steel Corporation was held Monday at the New Jersey office of the corporation, in Hoboken, to consider resolutions adopted by the directors, providing for the retirement of $200,000,000 of preferred stock and the issuing of $250,000,000 of new bonds. Resolutions authorizing the changes proposed by the directors. were adopted CRAZED FIEND'S HORRIBLE ACT: Balked in Desire, to Marry a Mero Child, Austin Slays His Whole Family and Then Sulcides. Six living corpses, scarcely yet cold, and but one living witness, a helpless infant, to the awful, tragedy, is what met the horrified eyes of Mr. John Kellar, as he stepped into the house of William Wilkinson Monday morning near Hinstings, Fla., a thriving settlement 15 miles from St. Auguillin. The dead are Wilkinson Wilkinson; aged 52; Mrs. Wilkinson, his wife; Miss Abitha McCullough, aged 13; Miss Wilkinson, a sister of William Wilkinson, one child and William Austin, murderer and suicide, aged 25. Crazed by this infatuation for little Abitha McCullough, a lovely girl of a tride over 12, but well developed for her age, Austin killed the entire family because his advances were refused and his desire to wed the girl was opposed. The tragedy occurred at a lonely farmhouse at 3 o'clock Monday morning. Austin went to the house on Friday night and proposed marriage. He was rejected and vowing he would yet marry her, hurried to St. Augustine and procured on Saturday a marriage license. He went to church on Sunday night and told every one he met that he was to be married that night. About a o'clock in the morning several pistol shots were heard, but no one went to investigate until next inforlining, when Wilkinson failed to turf up at a neighbor's house, where he was engaged in harvesting a crop of jubilees. Mr. Kellar, a farm hand, was sent to Wilkinson's house and he fohd the whole family murdered and Austin with a bullet hole in his breast and a revolver clutched in his hand. Word of the tragedy was transmitted to St. Augustine on the morning train and Sheriff Perry and the coroner hastened to the scene of the tragedy. A wailing infant, who had been unharmed, was found in bed beside its dead mother. FUGITIVES DRAW FIRST BLOOD. Case of Gaynor and Greene Transfer- fad From Montreal to Quebec as Rerust of Court Decision: A special from Montreal, Quebec, says: Colonel Gaynor and Captain Greene have won the first skirmish in the fight against extradition to the United States, and the two men are now in the old city of Quebec, where they believe proceedings to force them to return to the United States to answer the charge of defrauding the United States government can be successfully fought. At 10 o'clock Monday a special train on the Canadian Pacific arrived from Quebec with High Constable Gale and assistants on board, armed with a wrist of habeas corpus. They got into a cab and drove to the Montreal jail, to which institution Gaynor and Greene had been committed by Judge La Fontaine during the afternoon. The stay of the high constable was of very short duration. Evidently Governor Vallee and his guests awaited their coming, for in a short time Gale appeared, accompanied by Governor Vallee and Gaynor and Greene. A quick drive was made to the Place Viger station and an hour after the arrival of the special train it departed with the much sought fugitives from the American courts on board. Half an hour later the regular train for Quebec departed, having on board Donald MacMaster and Chief Carpenter. They went to answer the writ of habea corpus, served on Carpenter. Incidentally Mr. MacMaster will use all his efforts to see that Governor Vallee returns his prisoners to the Montreal jail. The question as to whether he shall do so or not depends entirely upon the legality of the arrest. The case will be heard in Quebec. BOERS DISCUSSING PEACE. Leaders Gather at Verenining to Deliberate Over the Matter. Advices from Pretoria state that all the Beor delegates are now assembled at Verenining, Transvaal, where every facility has been afforded them for private sessions, the first of which was arranged for Friday. All the voting will be by ballot. During the deliberations at Verenining Lord Kitchener has guaranteed immunity from attack to all commandoes whose leaders are participating in the conference. NINETY DIE IN STORM Besides the Reported Fatality List, Over a Hundred Were Injured and Business Section of Goffard A special from Gollad, Texas, says: Ninety are dead, over a hundred are wounded. 'In addition there is a gaping wound in the town—the path of one of the most destructive tornadoes ever-known in Texas. The tornado struck the town about 3:45 o'clock Sunday afternoon, lasting only about five minutes, leaving death and disaster everywhere in its wake. It came from the southeast without a warning, completely demolishing a strip about two blocks wide throughout the whole western part of the town about a mile long. Among the many houses demolished are the Baptist church and parsonage, just built, the Methodist church and a colored church. The number of houses destroyed will probably reach 100. Damage done cannot be approximated as yet, but it is very great. About all the human dead and wounded have been taken care of. The path of devastation was strewn with all kinds of debris and dead and wounded animals. The pitiful cries of the wounded was heard everywhere, and at times was heartrending. A report from the country around Goliad is to the effect that no damage, was done. A special train bearing the O'Connor Guards, six physicclans, nurses and many volunteers, came from Victoria and a special train from Cuero, bearing physicclans, nurses, druggists and volunteers. The cyclone is believed to have originated on the gulf coast at a point almost directly south of Gollad, and traveled, in a northeasterly direction as far as Kentucky. It left desolation behind in four slates, but Texas seems to have suffered more than the others. At 10 o'clock Sunday night there were two reports current concerning the fate of the historic town of Gollad. Both of them were sufficiently distressing. One was that fifty lives were lost and much of the town destroyed. The other was that not less than two hundred persons were killed and that nearly every stridelfeife there was demolished. Wild rumors about the fate of Texarkana were in circulation for a time, but the anxiety on that store was relieved by the statement from incoming train crews that there had been no damage at Marshall, Texarkana, or intermediate points. Shreveport, La., seems to be cut off from communication with the world. Damage at San Antonio. At 12:40 o'clock the storm swept over San Antonio, damaging property not less than $50,000, and it may reach $75,000. No lives are reported lost. The wind reached a velocity of 72 miles an hour, and continued at that rate for nearly twenty minutes. OFFICIALS PLAYED POKER. Upon Complaint of Farmers Several Missouri Citizens Are Indicted. Harry B. Hawes, president of the St. Louis board of police commissioners, Congressman W. W. Rucker, William Flynn, of St. Louis, and about thirty other men, including several mayors of small Missouri towns and a judge from the Missouri supreme court have been indicted by the grand jury of Chariton county, Missouri, on a charge of gambling. The specific charge, it is said, is that the defendants played "penny ante" poker. The gambling is alleged to have occurred last summer during a fishing trip in Chariton county. Complaint was made by some farmers who said they saw the game in progress. Earth Tremors Frighten Inhabitants of Pearlsburg, Giles County. Pearlsburg, Giles county, Virginia, reports that an earthquake of considerable severity, was felt there Saturday night about 11 o'clock. It was accompanied by rumblings, which lasted some time. Quaker City Too Slow. The executive committee of the National Association, of Manufacturers at a meeting, Monday, decided to move the general offices of, the association from Philadelphia to New York, BOUTHERN PROGRESS.

These primaries are called by the democratic executive committee, and they are nothing more nor less than a democratic nominating convention, and all persons voting thereat can be delegates to said convention, and as such they cannot and are not considered as members of the Republican party. Therefore persons who claim to be Republicans and participate in these primaries are notified to choose one party or the other. J O Simmons, Chairman, Sol. C Johnson, Secretary. Col. Deveaux Banqueted. The table was formed like a horse-shoe. About sixty persons were present. The menu was served in courses and was prepared in a manner that would satisfy the most fastidious taste. Mr. Walter S. Scott acted as toastmaster, and added much to the inspiration of the occasion. Rev. Alexander Harris was present and gave his benediction on the affair. The following program was carried out: Our Guest, Mr. E. E. DesVerney; Response, Col. John H. Deveaux; Our President, Rev. Richard Bright; Unity of old and young men in Politics, Capt. L. M. Pleasant, Mr. J. W. Armstrong; Character, Rev. J. J. Durham; Negro as a Business Man, Maj. W. H. Royall; Negro as Editor, Sol. C. Johnson; Negro as a Soldier, Lieut. J. H. Bugg, MD; Negro as a Naval officer, Mr. Edward F. Meyer, Beanfort, S.C. ; "Rice Straw" chorus, led by Mr. F. S. Curley; Negro as a Soldier and Man, Capt. J. C. Simmons; The Future of the Negro, Mr. E. W. Sherman. Each speaker was heartily applauded at each telling point. The sentiment expressed by each one was in keeping with the occasion, being of an elevating nature and containing much food for thought. Space alone forbids us publishing the excellent words spoken. Col. Deveaux can undoubtedly feel proud of this testimonial from loyal friends, whose "Godspeed" for him is of the sorest kind. The young men under whose auspices the banquet was given deserve much credit for its success. Messrs. Jos L Jackson, J Clayton Williams, S M Jackson, Chas H Sheftall and others did much to make the affair successful. Mrs Ophelia Geary, Mrs Jos L Jackson and Miss Maria Sheftall added to the occasion by their presence and said. It was in the wee aries hours when those present arose and sang "Till we meet again," with which they were not satisfied until "Rice Straw" was repeated, and the health of all present was toasted. College Dots. Among the many features that will take place at the Georgia State Industrial College during commencement week, one of the most important will be the first meeting of the mechanics' conference. The chief aim of the conference is to give aid and encouragement to the large number of practical workers who have accepted invitations to be present. Supt J. S Himes and Instructor L. B. Thompson will also make addresses. The economical value of the Negro as a mechanic is recognized by most of the prominent contractors in the south. Indeed, many large contracting firms employ colored labor almost exclusively. In a word, there is no immediate danger of the Negro being displaced in the pursuit of building trades. But while it is true that colored men are ascheiving a fair degree of success as mechanics, it is also true that there are many ways in which their efficiency may be increased. To this end the following subjects will be discussed at the conference: 1st—"How to stimulate frugality at the conference"; 2nd—"Why young men hesitate to enter upon industrial pursuit"; 3rd—"The relation of industrial school to the building trades" 4th—"Do colored men work as faithful for one another as they do for white men;" 5th—"Is the colored man being displaced as an industrial worker in the south;" 6th—"A comparison of ex-slay mechanics with those that have come up since the war;" 7th—"The necessity of being prompt and regular in reporting to work." All of the trades unions of the slave have been invited to be present. All mechanics and the public in general are cordially invited to attend the conference. Success Club Notes. "DON'T WAIT FOR YOUR OPPORTUNITY; MAKE IT" The rooms of the Booker T. Washington Success Club were the scene of an enthusiastic meeting Tuesday evening last. The membership continues to increase rapidly. The committees made favorable reports, among them were the following: The Educational Committee in its report asked permission to give an entertainment the third week in June for the benefit of the club, which permission was granted. The Ways and Means Committee recommended that a committee of three be appointed to visit the different churches, organizations, firms and individuals, and ask them to contribute to the advancement of the ideas and purposes of the club. The committee's recommendation was approved and the following committee was appointed: Wm. D. Kennedy, W D. Brown and Adam S. Rogers, chairman. Mr. Rogers says that the committee begin work immediately and that he believes every citizen who loves manhood and the advancement of colored young men will not fail to contribute. The committee will visit several meetings to-morrow. The Building Committee hopes to have the rooms comfortably furnished by the first of July. Bolton Street Church. On last Sunday services at the F. A. B. Church, corner W. Broad and Bolton streets, were well attended all day. In the morning Rev. P. J. Jenkins of Augusta preached a good sermon on "The Gospel of Giving." The Sunday school was well attended, and the B. Y. P. U. had an unusually large attendance. Miss Anne V. Anderson, one of Savannah's most accomplished young ladies, is organist for the B. Y. P. U. and is quite a favorite with the members. At night Rev. T. M. Williamson preached on "Dry Bones in the Valley," from Ezekiel 37:4. Rev. Williamson will report the result of his rally next week. All the gleaners are not in yet. St. Philips Church Dots. St. Philips Church Dots, Quite a large congregation attended the 11 a.m. service on Sunday. Rev. Cargile preached to the Young Benevolent Daughters of Africa branch. Hymn No. 210 was sung by the choir. His text was 94 Psalm 9, verse. The discourse was pointed and timely. The society presented $4.00 to the pastor and church which was accepted by Bro. G. H. Adderson. The Christian Endeavor was well attended on Sunday afternoon. The evening service was largely attended. Rev. Cargile preached from Isiaah 14:1. After the sermon several persons were received in the church. The entertainment given at Ford's Opera House Monday night under the auspices of Prof J. H. Baldwin, David Moses Y. Rogers and others, for the benefit of the church was quite a success. Services will be held as usual on Sunday. The public is invited to attend. Mr. G. W. Green and his division deserves much credit for raising the largest amount of money during the rally. They raised $232. First A. B. Church. Large crowds attended services during the day last Sunday. It was the first anniversary of Dr. Carr and the members and friends convinced the doctor that they delighted in doing him honor. At 11 a.m Dr. Carr preached an excellent sermon from the subject "A Brother's Care." At 3 p.m, the business of the monthly conference was transacted in about thirty minutes, without one point of order being raised. Well, in fact, no one has raised a point of order in our conference for more than six months. At 8 p.m, a massive congregation consisting of some of the best citizens of the city: Every seat was occupied and some were standing. All waited eagerly to hear the annual sermon. The following program was rendered: 1st-Introductory remarks by Prof J C Ross; 2nd—Special selection by the choir; 3rd—Prayer by Rev W G Clark; 4th—Solo, Miss M Brown; 5th—Paper, "DrCarr as a Christian," Mr I M Jackson; 6th—Baritone Solo, Mr Julius Jenkins; 7th—Annual sermon, Rev J W Carr, D D; 8th—Quartette, "Bless the Lord," Miss Eurnes Ray Carr and others"; 9th—Address, "Dr Carr as a citizen," Prof Allen of the Georgia State Industrial College.

They were well attended and the pastor Dr. Durham delivered two powerful sermons. Preaching at 11 a.m. from Acts. 13:1-3 subject, "Some characteristics of the Apostolic Church at Antioch." And at 8:30 p.m. subject, "The model young man." This sermon was the first in a series of four to be delivered on Sunday nights, and was mainly intended for young men; but all present found food for thought, for it abounded in good advice to young and old, and set forth the many forms of evil and temptations to which young men are especially exposed and how to avoid and over come them. The sermon had a good effect for at its conclusion, on the invitation of the pastor many litted their hands for prayer. The subject of the sermon next Sunday night will be "The model young woman." The Sunday School under the management of Deacon R.M Davis was well attended and is doing good work. The church is preparing to renovate the church edifice. The cost will be considerable, and all the members and friends of the church are being called upon and are expected to contribute liberally to this very worthy object. The centennial of this great old historic church comes off next December, and it is the purpose of the pastor and members to have everything in up-to-date style. The Forest City Glee Club will give one of its high grade entertainments at Second Baptist Church next Monday night 26th. Those who have attended an entertainment given by this club know that it is well worth the time and money. There is none of that degrading rag time music and coon song singing, but an entertainment of the highest order. This club deserves liberal patronage. MASONIC COLUMN. M Duping the People. Some time ago an article appeared exploring the fact that a crowd of men were paddling bogus Masonic degrees in the rural districts among the most ignorant and unsuspecting Negroes of many southern and western states, calling themselves "York Rites," but who are nothing more or less than the old national compacts. It is, indeed, quite a pitilable state of affairs that in this enlightened age our men will allow themselves to be utterly robbed and duped. South Carolina. Tennessee and Kansas seem to be the hot beds of these peddlers. A few are operating in the turpentine, saw mill and peach growing districts in Georgia. But since my article referred to they are applying to be healed. They have what they call a supreme grand master. In legitimate state right Masonry there is no such character in existence, and never has been since or before the days of King Solomon. True Masonry recognize only one supreme being and that is God, our Supreme Architect of the universe. I speak of this matter simply because I be have men ought to always be told when they are in the wrong. There is no such organization known among white Masons in South Carolina, Kansas, Georgia, or any other state in the Union or any country on the globe as national compacts disguised under the name of York Rites to deceive the unsuspecting. I have said before, and I say it again if the colored men of a community are not able to expose these degree peddlers and drive them out of their community when they appear, the white citizens should do so, and not allow the pennies and dimes of the colored men in the neighborhood to be taken away by these peddlers. What few bogus lodges there are in Georgia are now beginning to see they were draped and are making applications to me to be heaed. The same is true in South Carolina, Alabama, Florida and Tennessee. All the men wish to know is which is the right way. What I have said purely out of sympathy for those poor men of my race who are so easily deceived and led into everything that comes whether right or wrong, and too without investigating it just because it is cheap—Dr. H. R. Butler in the Constitution. Grand Lodge Call. Atlanta Ga., May 1, 1902.

Brushes and brooms cost a great deal in the course of the year, but at least half of the number will serve if they are properly used. To stain lintig brooms of any kind down on the hairy part is a sure method of rapid destruction, and yet often it is done! If made to rest on the handle'with the bristles uppermost they will last as long again. All these are very small savings, but they amount to much in the aggregate: A Good Liquid Glue A good liquid glue may be made by a simple enough process. Take a common glass fruit jar and fill it half full with broken pieces of glue, covering these with vinegar. Put the jar in hot water and let it remain until the glue is melted, when it is quite ready for use. A first-rate glue for photographs needs only gelatine, chloral hydrate and water in its construction. The proportions are six ounces of the chloral hydrate, nine ounces of the gelatine and twenty-five ounces of water. After forty-eight hours the mixture is ready to serve its purpose. Miniature Pillows. Pillows of ordinary size as adjuncts of bed dressing went out of fashion several years ago, and were superseded in the graces of Mime, la Mode by the bolster roll. With lier proverbial fickelness, whispers may now be heard that in turn the bolster roll is an old story with her, and miniature pillows are to be the kind most favored for the smartly-dressed bed. The cover on this bed is quite novel also. It is of material to match the pillow covers, with a frilled, embroidered ruffle, also to match, failing to the lower edge of the mattress. Of course, these are excelsior pillows for daytime only. Hairbrushes should be washed once a week, and are soon spilled unless properly cleansed. The best way is to put a tablespoonful of ammonia in a quart of water as hot as can be borne comfortably by the hand. The brush should be freed from hairs and dipped, bristles downward, in and out of the water until clean. It should be rinsed by dipping in cold water in the same way. Shake well, wipe the back and handle carefully, and put on a window sill to dry in the open dir. The back should not be allowed to become damp if it can be avoided. Soap should not be used for washing, as it makes the bristles soft. How to Fry Oysters. In frying oysters cover them thoroughly with bread crumbs, rolling them first in the crumbs. then in beaten egg mixed with milk, and again in the crumbs. Let them stand in a cold place an hour before frying. Deep oil is better for frying them than lard or butter. It should be at the boiling point when they are put in. A good test is a small piece of bread. It it browns quickly the fat is at its right heat. Only five or six oysters should be dropped in the oil at one time; otherwise the fat will be cooled and they will be grease soaked. They should be served at once, not kept hot in a warming oven for a delinquent family. HOUSEHOLD RECIPES: Marrow-Balls—These are nice with veal, chicken or any clear soup. Rub one heaping tablespoon of marrow to a cream and mix with the yolk of one egg; add one-fourth teaspoonful each of salt and nutmeg, one teaspoonful parsley, three tablespoonfuls grated bread crumbs and the stiffly beaten white of the egg. Form into small balls and boll seven minutes in the soup. Boiled Lentils—Wash two cupfuls of lentils in cold water; put them over the fire in three, quarts of cold water with one tablespoonful of butter, one tablespoonful of salt, a little pepper and one tablespoon of chopped parsley; boil slowly three hours on until very tender; drain off the water; add another tablespoonful of butter, one teaspoonful of sugar and more salt and pepper, if needed. Raspberry Vinegar—Put the raspberries into a stone jar and crush them; then cover with pure vinegar. Stand in the air for ten hours, then in a cool, dark place over night. Stirring occasionally, strain and put in as many nerries as you have strained out. Pour the same vinegar over them, mash well and again stand in the hot sun. Strain again, measuring the juice, and allow one pint of water to each quart of the juice. Stir well, again measure, and to each quart allow four pounds of sugar. Taploca and Peaches-This may be made with canned peaches or from the fresh fruit, pared and coddled whole in a little sugar. Soak half a pint of taploca for a whole morning or overnight in a half pint of cold water. Fill a baking dish about two-thirds its depth with the peaches taken from the syrup; sprinkle with sugar and bake from twenty to thirty minutes; add half a pint of the peach syrup to the taploca and put it on to boil, adding one gill of boiling water and one gill of sugar. When it is clear pour it over the peaches and bake slowly for half an hour. If eaten cold, serve with sugar and cream; if hot, with "falry" butter, M. B.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM: — Inflammation and ulceration of the uterus laid me low and robbed life of its joys for me. For eight years I was in frequent pain and misery, and then Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound came to me; the greatest boon I have known, for it brought new life and health to me. I used several bottles of Compound and your Sanative Wash. My improvement was slow, but from the first bottle I felt that I was better, and so I kept up courage and continued the treatment. None of my friends ever dreamed that I would be well again, but I have now enjoyed life to its fullest extent for three years." —MRS. MAMIE HERBERT. 85000 FORFEIT IF THE ABOVE LETTER IS NOT GENUINE.
