There the matter closed. Remarkable Chapter Written, { It was a remarkable chapter In the ‘economic history of the country tnat was written during the day. For the first time the president of the republic had intervened directly between the great forces of capital and labor in an effort to avert what he himself re- Barded as a great national calamity. The result was to bring the principats En the great centroversy face to face with the whole coyntry, eazerly, intent ‘upon and watchful of their doings. Technically the issues beetween the two greae forces stand as they did before the president summoned the representatives cf the contending forces ‘to the national capital, and torgetting bis own acute suffering. be- sought them for love of the great courary wkercin they dwelt and out of nity for the countless throng of su‘Tez- ing poor, to adjust their differences and work together in peacd for the ‘commonwedlta.~ What, if anything, Will result froma the conference is for the indefinite future. The views of the contenders in the great Industrial struggle were so ex- treme aud wide agart that there was Lo middle ground possible, and so the conference came to an 2nd without uny agreement for Its continuation. The conference had lasted six hours, inetuding a reecss of three hears be- tween the morning and afternoon scs- sions, taken to enable the miners and operators to prepare written responses to the president's appeal. ‘Tho immediate , artics to the strike say they will continuc as heretofore: What, course the, administration will teke next no one is prepared to say. One of the onerators, as he left the white house, with closely set jaw, was usked regarding this, and replied: “If any one Epows what the presi- cut will do next, tazt Ix more than I know.” Fourteen Men Present, .

What toot place at the meetmg Is set out in ar- ple statements made by each side and given at to the press by themsel¥es end also officially at the white house. ‘During the conference the president listened to both sides with the great- cst eagerness, Immediutely after its adjournment ‘his physicans,~Surgeon General Rixey and Dr, Lung, sasisted on making an examination of his wound and redressing It. Apparently no illeffects had resulted from the exeltement, of the day, and after a ‘ater call at 8 o'clock Dr. Lung an- nounced that the president's condition “ras satisfactory. At the opening of the conference, President Roogevelt made the follow- ing statement: “I wish to call your attenticn to the fact that there are three parties al- tected by tho sitiation in the anthra- “ite trade—the operators, the miners and tho general public. I speak for ~cither the operators nor the miners, but for the general public. The ques- tlons at iseue which led to the situa- sion affect Immediately the parties concerned, the operators and the min- srs; but the situation itself vitally af- fects the public. “As long as there seemed to be a reasonable hope that thcse matters could be adjusted betreen the partics ct did not seem proper to me to inter- vene In any way. I disclaim any right or duty to intervene in this way upon iegal grounds or upon any official re- tation that I Lear to the situation; but the urgency and the terrible nature of ‘the catastrophe impending over a arge portion of ovr people in the shape, of a winter fuel famine impel ‘me, after much arxious thought, to believe that my duty reauikes me to use whatever Infiuence I personally can bring to an end a situation which has become literally intolerable. / “I wish to cmphasize the character ‘of the situation and to say that its gravity Is such that I am constrained urgently to insist that each one of you ‘rezlize the heavy burden of responsi- ‘bitty upon him. We are upon the ibreshold of winter, with an already exiting coal famine, the future ter- Fore of which we can haidly yet ap- preciate, The,evil possibilities are so starreaching, so appalling, that it /scems t6 me that you are not only Justified in sinking, but required to Bik, ior the time being, any tenacity 4s t> your respective claims in the aiter at Issiie between you. “In my judgment, the situation tm- peratively requires .that you mect upon the common plane of the neces- sities of the public. With all the ear- nestnces there is In me, I ask that there be an immediately resumption of operations in the coal mines in some such way as will, without a day’s unmecessary delay, meet the crying a of the peaple, “Ido not Invite a discussion of your ‘respective claims and positions, I ap- peal to your patriotism, to the right ‘spirit that sinks personal considera- {tons and makes indivfiual sacrifices for the, general good.” - |’ Train Plunges Into ‘Washout. si} The Southern Pacific through Cali- | I} fornia passenger train due in San An- | tonlo, Texas, Friday morning ,plunged into a washout near Harwood at-5 a. st- | m.

Nd statement was given out as to the cénclusions reached, and every participant absolutely refused to discuss-what had taken place dur- ing the meeting. The conference was called for the day, although It was Sunday, in view of the extraordinary importance to the American peoplé of a speedy solution of the question, Bo- side the president there were present Secretaries Root and Moody, Attorney general Knox, Postmaster General Payne and Caroll D. Wright, United States csommissioner of labor. *The last named was summoned to attend the conference on uccount of his cx- pert knowledge. Only four members of tht cabinet were present. Three ct these four were lawyers, and the lesue | involved was one which called for the : deliberation “of trained legal minds. The fourth cabinct officer, Postmaster General Payne, has taken a prominent part in the preliminary conzerences over the coal situation, and besides has had a Ifelong identification with corporate interests, which are involv- ed in the present question. The conference. began shortly after 10 o'clock, the time fixed by the pres: ident. When those who were to par. ticlpate arrived at the white house they were delayed a few minutes ow. ting to the physicians making thelr morning call. Wheh the two physl cians left it was reported that the President's condition was progressing satisfactorily and that there were nc untoward developments. ~The president, In expressing his views at the outset of the day's con ference, talked earnestly and showed a deep fecling. His voice at times could be heard downstairs. Several times during the cénference Sceretary Cortelyou was summoned into the room and directed to prepare certain matters for the consideration of the president and his advisers. This was taken to meen that some action wa: about to be consummated. ‘When tho conference adjourned : | few minutes after noon, all those whe had joined in ft declined to tall, al being pledged to the president to abso dute secrecy. The utmost efforts were made to guard against publicity. No since the Spanish war has there becr such reticence shown at a conferens of such a character as was observet on this occasion.

A Conference at Buftaid, The conference between the com- mittee appointed by the national man- ufacturers and President Mitchell and his Heutenants held at the Iroquois hotel in Buffalo, N. ¥., Tuesday after- noon did not result in any definite | plan belng reached for the partial re- | sumption of work in the anthracite i coal fields, but the members of the | manufacturers’ committee stated that | they were greatly pleased with the ' progress made. | The conference was held belting closed doors, and only a briet state- ‘ ment was given out at the end of the meeting. The statement is as fol- “lows: | “The committee of the National As. ‘ soclation of Mahufactifrers has lsten- | ed to the explanation of the present strike difficulty as offered by a spe- | cial committee of the United Mine | Workers, at tho head of which was Mr. Mitchell, the National Association _ of Manufacturers has learned what I could of the conditions, and now goes j to Philadelphia for the purpose of meeting a committee of mine opera. ‘tors, with the idea of getting thelr fide of the difficulty. The National Association of Manufacturers’ commit _ tee carries no proposition from the i mine workers, and has no other mis | ston than the desire to speedily bring | about 2 settlement of this dispute.” | It is known that Mr. Mitchell was appealed to, on the ground of human | ity, to concede every possible point s¢ that the country might be saved trom the hardships and sufferings inciden! to a coal famine, which seemed inev Itable. It is also stated that a propo , sition of some kind was submitted tc " the mine workers, but the terms spec! fied are not obtainable. | Mr. Mitchejl positively declined t discuss the request made by Presiden | Roosevelt that Mitchell use bis infu | ence to induce the miners to, resum‘ { work with a promise of the appoint ' ment cf a committee to .nvedtigat ‘ the miners’ grievances.

SATURDAY OCTOBER 11, 1902. AND after all the man who makes the most noise accomplishes the east. THIS is an age of practical methods, and it is to be carried into every phase of life. WE are satisfied; the administration does not look with favor on the lily white movement. THE old veterans have taken Washington by storm this week and are as loyal to the flag as ever. It is a funny spectacle to hear, some men advising others to become property owners when they don't even own the bed they sleep on. The children of poor colored parents are thirsting for more school accommodation. Must we allow their want to go by unheeded? There are a few white men in the South who are Republicans from principle, but there are others who adopt that faith from a monetary standpoint. No thoughtful person can think of the large number of colored children who are unable to secure school accommodation without shuddering at the result. We received a communication from Coffee county concerning the treachery of some Republican voters, but on account of the article not being signed we could not publish it. The white Republicaus who are against the Negro to-day were made prominent by the latter's efforts; now they are showing their appreciation by attempting to kill the Negroes politically. As a race we are doing but very little to help the unfortunate ones around us. This is one of our greatest failures and one that does much to retard our material progress. It behooves all of our men to buy up as much of the land, in the rural districts as possible. Land can now be bought cheap; in a few more years the price will undoubtedly advance. DURING the coming season there will undoubtedly be much suffering on account of the lack of coal. Capital and labor are the cause of it, and by their action they have declared that the public can "be d——d." The South is blessed in one respect; it is free of strikes such as infest the North. This is caused mostly from the fact that seventy-five per cent of the laborers in the South are colored men, and they are known to be the best kind of workmen. The President has given the lily whites a black eye by declaring that he does not approve their method of dealing with the colored Republicans. We were always sanguine of this affair and felt that the party could not afford to ignore the colored voters. It is disgusting to see well dressed colored women climbing to the peanut gallery of the theatre, mingling with dirty street boys and securing the stare and sneers of the class of whites that occupy the opposite side of the gallery. Where is their womanhood? VOUGHN, the Alabama lily white, has been given his just desert. He is the leader of that movement in his state against colored Republicans. The President has displaced him as district attorney in Alabama and appointed a gold democrat who was endorsed by the leading colored Republicans. So far, so good. We are thoroughly against disfranchisement of our people, but as it has been done in several states it is proving a blessing because it has caused many a colored man and boy to have a desire for more education and the acquirement of property so as to qualify as an elector. In this repect it is not harming our people at all. THE Odd-Fellows B. M. C. is in session in New Haven, Conn. Several hundred delegates from various parts of the country are in attendance and among them are some of the leading race men. A fraternal delegate from the mother Grand Lodge in England is present. Georgia has strong claims before the body. With this issue THE TRIBUNE enters in its eighteenth year. For these number of years THE TRIBUNE has been going regularly into the homes of thousands of readers: It has ever been a champion of right and an exponent of those things that benefit the race. On all questions that effect the race it has never quibbled. Its management has endeavored to practice the lessons often given in its columns by owning a good plant and giving employment to a number of the members of the race. During these long years THE TRIBUE has had patrons who are still favoring it with their support, in fact it is but very seldom that one is lost. We are grateful to them for their patronage, for they have done much to make THE TRIBUNE what it is to-day. In an editorial two weeks ago THE TRIBUNE spoke about the narrowness of the white Odd-Fellows, then in session in Iowa. The Atlanta Age in commenting upon it says: "Brother Sol. C. Johnson, of the TREIBUR, voices the sentiments of the G. U. of O. F. America, in commenting on the actions of the I. O. F. in national convocation assembled. These I O. O. F. voted out in Iowa the other day not to admit white men with Indian blood in their veins, laboring under the apprehension that some Negro might gain admittance in their midst. Bro. Johnson wisely remarks that 'the Negro will never have ambition sufficient to go into an organization that is not universal, especially when they have the G. U. of O. F. which is recognized in England and the world over. In England the white American Odd-Fellow is not recognized, but the black one is received with open arms. Bro. Johnson, you are right, and the editor beggs to add, for the benefit of our independent brethren, who bolted us more than half a century ago and are still frightfully afraid of Negro invasion, according to the actions of the Iowa convention, that the G. U. O. of O. F. will have as the guest at New Haven October 7th, 1902, the Grand Englishman, and the peer of any gentleman who attended the Iowa convoction. Our white brethren are unduly frightened. There are no grounds for their apprehension. Their actions are not warranted by the signs of the fraternal times. There is no desire or tendency on the part of the Negro to cut loose from the ancient and time honored fraternity of the G. U. O. of O. F. to break into an aggregation of men who botted them because of the universality of its principles. Bro. Johnson, you are right, the Negro will never forsake a fraternity, ancient in origin and universal in domain, to break into a society born in prejudice, without jurisdiction outside of America. The apprehensions of our white brethren are too absurd for serious consideration, and the editor dismisses their fool hardiness with the contempt it deserves." It is a fact to be deplored that so many of our young men and old ones too have point blankly refused to pay a dollar a year toward the schooling of their children. We can only wonder at what has become of the manhood of these perons. In this county the colored population is several thousand greater than the white, yet in the matter of supporting our schools we are deficient. We have men with several children who will not pay their tax and we have young men who would rather spend a dollar foolishly than doing so in a manner that would make them qualified citizens and at the same time swell the school fund. It would be a great event if this class of men could be reached and convinced of the necessity of doing their full duty. We are in need of more schools for the thousands of children who are without this necessity, and if our men would do their duty fully, those of us who are interested would be in a better position to make proper demands. THE daily papers said, during the week that every child in the city h a s school accommodation. Of course they meant the white children, but readers out of the city may think that the colored ones were included. To disabuse their minds we will state that there are thou sands of Negro children who are unable to secure accommodation. THE man who is not a tax payer can not pose as a leader. College Dots. Over three hundred students have registered up to date and the number increases daily. Last Sunday afternoon the students met in Meldrim Auditorium and gave an account of work during vacation. Most of them gave a good account of themselves. They had varied experiences. One student earned $175 00 by working at his trade—masonry. It was pleasant and gratifying to note that most of them had taken an active part in the religious work of the communities in which they labored. Mrs. D. O. Suggs whom we have been looking for several years makes a very pleasant addition to the College society. We will probably have a teacher of vocal and instrumental music soon. All the departments have opened with bright prospects. The matron has happily succeeded in placing her boys. They all look cheerful. We never had a more contented set. Instructor Cotton has charge of the College hattalion; Mrs. McLester, the Phyllis Whealy Literary Society; Mr. Thompson, the Y. M. C. A. and Instructor Pearson, the Phi Kappa and Philosophian Literary societies. Second Baptist Church. The pastor, Dr. J. J. Durham, after an absence of two weeks returned last Saturday and filled the pulpit-on Sunday. At 11 a. m., the pastor preached from Joshua 1:5-6 subject: "Joshua, the new leader of Israel and God's approval of him." It was a strong and interesting sermon and well received. The evening services, which during the summer have been beginning at 8:30 p. m. will hereafter begin at 8 p. m.; also the Sunday school will hereafter begin at 4 o'clock instead of 4:30 p. m. We regret to record the sad death of Bro. Charles Bright, who was drowned near the State Industrial College on Friday of last week. Bro Bright was a fine young man of great promise. He had just gone down to the college to enter upon a course of study, training and discipline to fit himself for great usefulness when the sad and unfortunate occurrence took place. His funeral services were conducted by his pastor, Dr. Durham, at 10 a. m., on Sunday. The funeral was largely attended The family has the sympathy and prayers of the church. More of our young men should be entering institutions where both their minds and hands may be trained for greater usefulness to themselves and the race. More school accommodations for the children of our city are badly needed hundreds of them have been turned away from the schools provided for them for the lack of accommodations some thing must be done to save these children from growing up in ignorance and crime. St. Philip's Dots. Sunday was communion day at St. Philips. Owing to the rain the attendance was not very large. Rev. Cargile preached at 11 a.m. Hymn "Come ye that love the Lord" etc, was sung. Text Luke 5:25, subject. "Have seen strange things to-day." Rev. Cargile has long since gained the reputation of being one of the best expounders of the gospel in this city, and his discourses are listened to with great interest. At 4 p.m. the holy sacrament was administered and several persons were given the right hand of fellowship. At 8 p.m. Rev. Cargile delivered a stirring sermon to a large congregation. Tuesday night the last dollar that was due on the church was raised, and on Thursday night a praise meeting was held. Within the past six years over $7,000.00 including interest for the property have been paid. The pastor, officers and members of the church are under many obligations to the colored press and to the various congregations and friends who so nobly responded to every call that was made for assistance to pay for their property, one of the best church sites in the city. The friends are singing "Praise God from Whom all blessings flow." In last week's dots concerning the literary entertainment there was an error; it should have read, "a solo by Mrs. J. E. Johnson" instead of by Mr. Johnson. We make the correction so as to give the lady credit for her part in the entertainment. The fourth quarterly conference was held on Friday night. Presiding Elder W. O. P. Sherman, presiding. The reports from the several departments were very good. The trustees' report was excellent and speaks well for Rev. Cargile's administration. Presiding Elder Sherman congratulated the various departments in their great success. We are pleased to see so many of our members returning from their vacation and resuming their place in the church. Miss Ruth E. Price, the daughter of Mrs. Moriah Price, and secretary of the Sunday school, left yesterday for Scotia Seminary, Concord, N. C. We wish her much success in her studies. Services to-morrow as follows: Prayer meeting; preaching 11 a.m.; Sunday school at 2:30 p.m.; Allen's Legion Christian Endeavor at 5:30; preaching at 8 o'clock. Deserving Institution: Deserving Institution, The Julia Walson Memorial and Reading Room is an institution that every citizen of Beaufort, S. C., ought be proud of, and such an institution that should be in every city. Rev. P. P. Watson, the pastor of one of this largest Baptist churches of that town, founded this reading room as a memorial to a loving mother. The roqm is large and contains many volumes, magazines, and journals and THE TRIBUNE has been added to its files. It is a place where the young men and women of the town can gather and read, rather than congregating around the streets and engaged in giddy sayings. Rev. Watson is to be commended for this institution, and it is hoped that friends who read this article and are interested in this kind of upliftment would donate a book, or magazine or money to further the usefulness of the library. THE TRIBUNE full endorses it and wish that similar ones could be established everywhere so that our boys and girls could derive its benefits. Masonic Column Grand East of the M. W. U. Grand Lodge of Atlanta, Atlanta, A. U. Atlanta, G. Sept., 30 1902. To the Worshipful Masters, Wardens and Brothers greeting: and Brothers greeting: Harmony and brotherly love prevail throughout the grand jurisdiction and may it abide with us forever—Amen. Dear Brethren: The first assessment to our Orphan's home fund is now due. These assessments must be every 90 days dating from the close of the Grand Lodge. Hence the first 90 days and hence the returns must be made promptly. This is the law of the Grand Lodge and it must be obeyed and all true masons will aid us in seeing that all edicts of that body are obeyed to the letter. The law is Seventy-five cents for every member reported to the Grand Lodge in June 1602. The payment of this is made easy by dividing it into three parts payments of twenty-five cents every 80 days. I know there is not a mason in the whole jurisdiction of Georgia that will hesitate to pay this obligation. Our Orphan Home is an honor to the colored masons of the world and we are doubly proud of it. We should feel congratulated at our effort to build that Orphan Home at the industrial School when we see other jurisdictions are following our example. The following juridiction are now striving to erect a home for their orphans: New York, South Carolina, Tennessee, Illinois, of the colored *juridictions* and the plaza old state Georgia, white prison. We ever see them are following in the light. I wish to congratulate old Eureka Lodge No. 1 at 8avannah the lodge of our Grand Secretary and the mother of Georgia masony so far as colored macons concerned and Crystal Lodge No. 112 the lodge of your servant at Atlanta, for being among the first to undertake their assessment on time for 1902 and 1903. Grand Lodge officers, Grand Lodge committee men, Worshipful masters, and Wardens are depended upon by me to help forward this work this year, not only is the work of the several lodges in the city, but also that also of every past officer and member, none are escaping my eye of attention. Send in your first quarterly assessment at once to Bro. W. H. Spencer, 515 Fourth Ave., Columbus, Ga., and at the same time notify me and Bro. Sol. C. Johnson that proper record may be made in each office. Worshipful masters will take due and timely notice and govern themselves accordingly. Yours in A. F. and A.M. H. R. Butler, Grand Master. F. to F., that we should go When sickness brings a brother woe, To cheer him on his bed of pain; And nurse him back to health again. Several new Lodges have been recently set up. The old veteran Bro. W. L. Rue never forgets THE TRIBUNE. With it all let us be loyal to the Widows and Orphans Home. Green Mountain Lodge is reported to be in a prosperous condition. Insure your lodge building, jewels and regalias. That is the safest plan. Grand Secretary Johnson goes to Guyton next Friday for the purpose of organizing a new Lodge. The greatest sign of the prosperity of our order can be found in the fact that peace and harmony are the reigning powers in our jurisdiction. Bros. J. S. Lovett and C. F. Lovett of Temple Star Lodge came in to see us on Monday. Bb. J. S. is a live Mason and always on the alert for that which upbuilds the Order. Our Grand Jurisdiction leads in the matter of the W. and O. Home, others are following in our lead. Should we not be proud of what we have done and endeavor to keep it up? In December the annual elections will take place While we do not sanction the caccusing for office, yet it behooves each Lodge to put the best material forward. Existing circumstances demand this much. Grand Patron Johnson has appointed Rev. A. R. Stalling of Pidcock as District Deputy Grand Patron, and Hon. S. S. Mincey, of Ally as District Deputy Grand Patron in their sections. Both of these bretires are earnest workers and will do effective work. Grand Master H. R. Butler is working assidiously for the success of the Order. He is adopting only practical methods for everything and the results are easily seen. He expects every Grand Lodge officer and officers and members of subordinate Lodges to do their full duty and they should do it too. On Sept. 26, a new lodge was set up at Doe Run, 'Ga. The convention was gotten up by Bro. J. W. Wright, and the work was done by Bro. H. K. Croom. A large number of visiting brothers were present. Fifteen men were raised, who were well pleased with the work. Bro. J. W. Wright was selected as Worshipful Master, and is destined to do much good for the lodge, he being a zealous worker. A new chapter O. E. S. was recently organized at Quitman, Ga., by Worthy Patron, Rev. A. R. Stalling, with a lage. membership. The following officers were appointed: Sisters, Minnie Ennis, W. M.; I. H. Singleton, W. P.; Rosa Tarver, M.; Annie Davis, Treas.; Lena Smith, Cond.; Gertrude Fulton, Ass't Cond.; Sallie Lattimore, Sec'y; Ellen Colson, Warder; Oscar Davis, Sent.; Delia Tarver, Ada; Jessie Davis, Ruth; Lena Salem, Esther; Josephine Mitchell, Martha; Ella Bryant, Electa; Phoebe Lathus, Ida Watson.

Often good men are deceived. These we redeem; others are not needed. Masonry in Georgia has taken high ground and must and will take higher ground till it stands spotless in the glory of old before the Supreme architect of the Universe. The officers of the law should protect legitimate Masonry in its faithful work in the state and handle degree peddlers without gloves." Bro. G. W. Garvin has done great work in reorganizing Little Rock Lodge at Arabi. He was empowered by the Grand Master to so so. He found that the members had become discouraged and stop meeting on account of the actions of the W. M. An election was held with the following result: C. H. Williams, W. M.; W. H. Lucas, S. W.; C. Kittrell, S. W.; John*Minson, Secy.; H. Washington, S. D.; John Louden, J. D. The officers and members are determined to make Little Rock one of the strongest lodges in the Jurisdiction.

However, the shell when broken with our spoons revealed tissue paper instead of albumen. The paper iu every case Inclosed a delightful little silver souvenir of the occasion.

Not until a century Inter did An- glo-Saxon housewives attempt to make genuine chutneys, with thelr curious compound of acids, sweets, cayenne and splees of all sorts. A new plckle introduced this season 1s made of red peppers.” Soak the pickles in boiling water for about twew- ty minutes and then put them in a cold brine to soak over night and to draw out the crude juices of the vex: etable.

A new fashfon In a modern city may mean the decimation or even extinc- thon of an entire species of the lower antmals, The craze for alligator skins during the past twelve years came jvery nearly making that hideous rep- tile as dead as the dodo. When a ‘largo animal brought two dollars In ‘the open ‘market every lazy darky fdown South who lived within ten rales of a pool or bayou was out after | “gater” from dawn to dusky eve. They Killed so many that the market was focded after a time and then the price began to fall. It has gone down | steadily, and the latest advices from the Loutsiana bayous and the Florida swamps give fifty cents for the raw hide of a saurian of more than ten feet in Iength and only twenty-five for a /ehleken “gater." This hardly pays for their killing, and the supply is running down in consequence. The alligator has now a chence for his life, and in many districtsiis increasing {n num- bers perceptibly. On the other hand, the snake family is experiencing great hardship. A ‘dealer in fine snake ekins sald: “There 1s a steady demand for the more beau- tiful kinds which we are never quite able to fill, Some varieties are so popular that they bring ridiculously high prices. ‘Tho coral snake of South | America, which, by the way, is not, as currently believed, a red creature, but a beautifully mottled scarlet, black, rose-pink, and brown one, has gone up from ten cents to a dollar for the ‘raw skin in Brazil, and it fs almost impossible to get it in this city. The few that aro caught go to Paris and St, Petersburg, and now and then some are shipped to the Far East, where they enjoy even a larger popularity ‘than in the Occident. “The most beautiful snake skin tn American is the marsh diamond-back rattler of Central and Southern Flor- Sda. It 1s the king of American ophidia. -Its colors ate almost metallic in their lustre, and they cro arranged 50 as to form about as brilliant a harmény.as can be found.
