Savannah Tribune

Beacon Lights FOR NEGROES Hon. P. A. Stovall has introduced a very drastic measure in the Georgia state legislature to prevent vote selling in Georgia. It is a good thing. There ought to be no fraud in the Georgia democratic primary. White as well as black vote selling is to be deplored. --- Another Negro Mayar. Burrows, a town in Chatham county, Ga., ten or twelve miles from Savannah and which has been incorporated by the state legislature, has its entire city government, mayor, chief of police, postmaster, etc., under the control of Negroes. It is an orderly town and the moral sentiment of the place is very good. The Place of Honor. It is a matter of great pleasure to the colored people of the state that it has been decided to place Alex. Stephens as one of Georgia's representatives in the National Hall of Fame. He was a true friend to the Negro, helping him by, deeds as well as words and the Negro feels that in having him there that he himself has some part in the allotment. Then, too, the state, or for that matter, no other state, had a more loyal, kind-hearted and clear-thinking statesman than the "Great Commoner." --- Dairy at the Colored State College. George Foster Peabody has generously furnished the means—two thousand dollars—with which to equip the colored college at Savannah, Ga., with a dairy. A small but well selected lot of cows will be purchased and cheese making and dairying will be taught in all its branches. Mr. Peabody, in the day of his greatness, does not forget his native state and his noble nature remembers the humblest of American citizens. He is an honor to his nation. May his end be happy and long removed. The school is to be congratulated on this renewed evidence of confidence. --- No Mulatto Need Apply. The Raleigh News and Observer thus explains some of the intricacies of the North Carolina election law: "No white man will lose his vote because he was born out of wedlock. It is no man's fault and the amendment does not punish him for it. He can register just as if born in lawful wedlock. The registrars are all so instructed. The man who registers under the grandfather clause will have his name on a permanent roll and never be subjected to the trouble of registering again. In answer to a question we will state that no mulatto can register under the grandfather clause by claiming to be the son of a white man who could vote in 1867. No mulatto can vote under the grandfather clauso, unless the son of a white woman, and then he votes through his mother's father."—Exchange. Noble Sentiment: There are 28,000 white children employed in the cotton factories of the southern states, working for starvation wages, while the factories are coining money. These white children, like their elders, refuse to allow black children to work in the factories with them. And, yet, our sympathies go out to the little white slaves, who should be in the school houses instead of the factories tolling for a pittance. Their proud parents should be ashamed of themselves, but they are not. The white man's burden in the south, under the industrial conditions of freedom, is the same as the black man's; and that is as it should be.—Aga. --- White Vote Selling. Charleston, S. C., Oct. 30.—On open letter has been addressed to Solicitor Hildebrand of this circuit, by a score of the most prominent people of the city, urging him to prosecute with all possible vigor the men who were guilty of the frauds committed in the recent democratic primaries. It is understood that this request will be backed up with affidavits upon which true bills against a number of individuals can be found. The frauds committed called forth many public protests and demands for the punishment of the guilty at the time of the primaries. An investigation was started then, but some persons believed it would be dropped. The open letter sent to Solicitor Hildebrand today is taken to mean that a vigorous prosecution is contemplated.—Morning News. Too Bad. Special to the Savannah Press. Atlanta, Oct. 29.—The house has re ferred to the wild lands committee a SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 8. 1902. communication received from the Colored Ministers' Union, who wished to appear in a body before the house and lay before it certain things which it thought would be for the betterment of the colored race. At the session yesterday morning the following communication was read: "Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 27, 1902—General Assembly: The Colored Ministers' Union desires to visit you in a body and address you on some enactments for the betterment of their people. Please let us near from you. H. F. DAVIS." Warren Grice of Rulaski was up at once and said: "I move to refer that communication to the committee on wild lauda." This was done. Prominent Negroes. The writer has been thinking recently of the record made by a number of Georgians both in their native state and in other states. He is of the opinion that they measure up well when compared with any city in the Union. For instance: The register of the treasury, Capt. J. W. Lyons, whose name is seen on the money all over the country is a native Georgian, Dr. E. C. Morris of Helena, Ark., president of the largest religious denomination of Negroes in the world, is a Georgian. He is at the head of two millions of Negro Baptists in this country. Major R. R. Wright, who has the distinction of being one of the two colored men appointed Paymasters in the army; he is a native Georgian. Prof. John Wesley Gilbert is acknowledged to be the ablest Greek scholar of the race and is the only Negro who ever won a Greek scholarship from Brown University and spent a year in the American college at Athens, Greece; he is also a native Georgian. Mr. L. L. Williams of New York City, one of the wealthiest colored men in the Metropolis, is from Wilkes County, Georgia, and is the son of the venerable Rev. Lewis Williams. Prof. Thomas Hope, a teacher in the high school of Washington, D. C., is an Augusta young man who is making his mark. Mr. H. C. Dugas, an Augusta young man is filling the position of Private Secretary to the multi-millionaire, George F. Peabody, with ability and fidelity. The founder of the true reformers, Rev. W. W. Brown, was a native Georgian. Of course I will not take your space to mention hundreds of others in the state and in various parts of this great country who are acting well their part in the great drama of life—Dr. Walker in the Georgia Baptist. --- Our Earnest Prayer. Our Earnest Prayer. The lynching of Negroes goes steadily on and there seems to be no arm strong enough to stop it, even "Uncle Sam," the mightiest army on earth, is unable to protect his citizens. But there is an unseen hand—the Providence of God, which rules and presides over the destinies of men, and will as surely revenge the innocent blood slain by the lawless mob. It will come, too, when we are not looking for it. If the possibility to escape created a necessity for such hasty action, there would be some excuse from a human point of view. But those who constitute the mobs have the law in their own hands, and can mete to each and all charged with crime, their justice by law. Secretary Root is appealing to the powers of the world to join in with the United States in protesting against the treatment of the Jews, five thousand or more miles away, while right under his own flag, in the boasted "Land of the free and home of the brave," the innocent blood of the American citizens is crying from the branches of trees, telegraph poles, lamp posts and log cabins for protection, while other charred forms at the stake are attesting the fact of, and protesting against the barbarous treatment of the Negro in this country. Let the secretary take some action which will insure to American citizens a trial by jury and thus see that the injunctions of the federal constitution are carried out. The American flag means a great deal abroad, but is worth very little to her citizens at home. It was said by a Tennessee newspaper that an orderly mob hanged two Negroes. An orderly mob! What is an orderly mob? Men who will take the law into their own hands when it pleases them to do so, and because they come like thieves in the night, not disturbing the white people from their peaceful repose, they are called orderly, even though their hands are dyed with human blood, and the innocent gore is dripping to the ground. God wake this nation and save it, is our prayer.—Exchange. Teacher Slain by Filipines. According to a Manlin dispatch D. C. Montgomery, superintendent of schools in Oriental, Negros, was murdered Friday by ladrones near Bacolod. He leaves a widow, who is a teacher in the island of Negros. He was from Nobraaska. HORROR IN NEW YORK Twelve Men Mangled in Frightful Fireworks Explosion. REJOICING TURNED TO GRIEF Horrible Accident Occurs While Great Crowd Thronged Madison Square to Witness an Election Jubilation. In New York city Tuesday night, by a series of pyrotechnic booms and other fire works among the vast multitude gathered at Madison Square to witness the ascension of an airship and the display of the election returns, twelve persons were killed outright, many being blown almost to pieces, and at least fifty injured, many of them fatally. It is estimated that at least 30,000 persons) thronged the square at the time of the explosions, which were succeeded by a frightful panic in which hundreds were thrown down and trampled under foot. Five hundred policemen and all the ambulances in the city were instantly summoned and the dying and those most seriously injured were removed to the hospitals. In addition to these many of the wounded were taken by friends. Nine men in charge of the fire works display were placed under arrest immediately after the explosion. The densest portion of the throng that packed the square was gathered along Madison avenue close to the place reserved for the discharge of fire works. Along the border of the square facing the avenue were arranged three groups of cast iron mortars, twenty in each group, and loaded heavily. A few minutes after 10 o'clock the first row of mortars was touched off, but before the discharge took place, one of them fell over on its side and the next instant the bomb was shot into the thickest of the crowd, where it exploded and hurled the people into heaps. The fall of the mortar and the concussion of the explosion knocked down the rest of the row of mortars and a thundering volley of huge projectiles plowed through the crowd. Almost instantaneously the ,second group of twenty mortars about 100 feet farther up the avenue discharged their contents into the crowd, and a moment later the third group, evidently ignited by the showers of falling sparks, exploded in the same manner. Thousands in Panic. In the panic that ensued thousands ran blindly across the square, tripping over the seats and benches, and, falling, were trampled upon. The police on duty were carried along by the rush and for half an hour the wildest confusion reigned. After the smoke of the explosion had cleared away sixteen persons were found lying on Madison avenue between Twenty-third and Twenty-fifth streets. Scores of injured were scattered about the avenue and the square. Among the dead was a policeman who was standing close to the mortar and whose body was frightfully mangled. A force of 500 policemen were soon on the spot and upwards of one hundred physicians and 200 nurses were summoned from the hospitals, every available vehicle being pressed into service for the transportation of the wounded. LIGHT VOTE IN GEORGIA. No-Opposition to Nominees Except in the Seventh District. Reports from the various Georgia congressional districts indicate that all the democratic nominees were overwhelmingly elected. There was no opposition to any of the nominees except in the seventh district, where some votes were eact for S. J. McKnight, the state chairman of the populist executive committee. Judge Maddox, however, carried the district. The only charge in Georgia's representation this term will be in the tenth district, Hon. Thomas W. Hardwick succeeding W. H. Fleming. PRAYED ALL DAY. Novel Side Issue of the Election Injected by Citizens of Topeka. All day Tuesday the men and women of Topeka, Kansas, who were fighting the republican candidates for county attorney and sheriff, because they were supported by the liquor element, prayed for their defent in the First Methodist church. Beginning at 8 o'clock in the morning prayers were offered, without intermission until the polls closed. Men relieved each other as it became necessary to go out and vote. GOLD IN GREAT HEAPS Held by Your Uncle Sam in His Big Vaults. Official Dilates Glowingly on Immense Cash Balance and Great Holdings Ellis H. Roberts, treasurer of the United States, in opening his annual report says that the magnitude of the available cash balance and the unprecedented holdings of gross gold are the striking features of the condition of the treasury at the close of the fiscal year 1902. The available cash balance in the treasury July 1, 1902, was the largest net balance in our history. It amounted to $362,187,361. The gold reserve is counted in as it is available for the redemption of legal tender notes. Nearly one-half of the available cash balance July 1 was in gold coin and certificates; $108,801,290 over and above the gold reserve of $150,000,000, and by October 1 it became $136,124,771.. As a measure of the financial strength of the government, the report says the fact deserves mention. By October 1, 1902, available cash balance, exclusive of the reserve, was $221,253,394, and owing to the large measures for the relief of the money market it was reduced by November 1 to $206,421,870. Of this sum $146,885,012 was in national banks. To the general stock of money in the country, an addition of $80,198,681 was made during the fiscal year. Of this $67,955,527 was in gold coin and bullion. There was also an increase of $19,785,259 in standard dollars and of $7,360,991 in subsidiary silver. United States, notes remained under the law unchanged. Treasury notes fell off $17,783,000. National bank notes received an increment of $2,651,589. The gold coin and bullion October 1 exceeded all other kinds of money, excluding national bank notes, by $200,268,433. In five years the ratio of gold in the country to total circulation has run up from 36.52 to 46.45 to the hundred. The growth in the volume of money in circulation during the year was $74,052,589, carrying the per capita from 27.98 to 28.43. The element of gold coin and gold certificates was the largest part and the increased reached $61,906,174 and advanced from 40.39° per cent of the total to 41.73 per cent. In silver of all denominations, including certificates, there was an increase of $25,226,146, of which $6,456,014 was in subsidiary coin. The-reduction in treasury notes of $17,677,800 is due to their withdrawal. INDIAN LOSES WEALTH. Highwaymen Used Decoy and Secured $22,000 In Cash. A dispatch from Missoula, Mont., says: A wealthy Flathead Indian named Matchell has been robbed of $22,000 in cash, the money consisting of $100 bills and $20 gold pieces. Matchell visited the town of Plains and during his absence at night, a man dressed as a squaw visited his home on Camas Prairie, and engaged in conversation with Matchell's squaw. Mrs. Matchell noticed that the visitor was not an Indian squaw, but a white man and her suspicions were aroused, when she saw two men run from an outbuilding where the wealth had been stored and carrying something with them. The robbers jumped on their horses which were nearby, the man that had been talking to the squaw joined them, and the three hurried away, leaving no clue. Matchell is the wealthiest full blood Indian on the reservation. He has large herds of cattle and horseg and was always known to have money, which he kept in an old trunk in an outbuilding. MILES ARRIVES AT MANILA. Escorted to Palace by General Davis and Squadron of Cavalry. General Miles reached Manila on October 30th, on the-United States transport Thomas from San Francisco. On disembarking a salute in his honor was fired from Fort Santiago: General Davis and a squadron of cavalry met General Miles at the landing place in Manila and escorted him to the Malacanan Palace, where Governor Taft and the other members of the civil commission awaited the visitors. General Miles accepted Governor Taft's invitation to live at the palace during his play. REPUBLICAN VICTORY Result of Tuesday's Election-as Indicated by Returns. ODELL'S PLURALITY IS SMALL National House of Representatives Remains in Control of Republicans, But by a Smaller Majority. Summary of Contest. Elections were held Tuesday in 42 states, and the returns indicate that the control of the national congress lies with the republican party. While official returns may make the working majority of the republican party in the house a close one, there is no doubt that it will be sufficient for all party purposes. From a national standpoint, the control of the lower branch of congress was the real contest. Many of the states elected legislatures which will choose United States senators, but the result of these elections has in no way imperiled the republican majority of the upper house. In those states which elected governors, there was no state in which the party in power was not continued in that position. In some of the states, however, there was a decided change from the vote cast two years ago. In the east the main interest centered in the two great states of New York and Pennsylvania. In the latter because of the conditions brought about by the recent coal strike, and in New York because of its bearing on the future in his party of the republican candidate for governor. New York re-elected Governor B. B. Odell and the entire state ticket, though the falling off in the republican plurality as compared to 1900 was enormous. Odell's plurality is placed at about 10,000. The democrats made a very slight gain in the legislature, but not enough to enjoin the election of a republican successor to Senator Platt. In Pennsylvania former Governor Pattison has materially reduced the republican majority, but the odds against him were too great. In Ohio, Mayor Tom Johnson, of Cleveland, who has led the democratic forces, seems to have met a Waterloo defeat. His candidate for secretary of state, Bigelow, has been defeated by a majority approximating 100,000. The aim of Johnson and his lieutenants was to make a material reduction in the normal republican majority, but they failed. This may in some degree be attributed to factional differences inside the democratic party. The republicans have held their own in the middle and western states, and made some gains. In Delaware, the democratic candidate for congress has been given a good plurality. The official vote will probably be necessary to determine the complexion of the legislature, which may have the opportunity of electing two senators. The democrats of Massachusetts, under the leadership of Colonel Gaston, made decided gains, but there was no hope of carrying the state. The election of the democratic candidate for governor of Rhode Island is one of the big surprises. NEW "JIM CROW" LAW. New Orleans Street Cars Now Run Under Special Statute. The new Louisiana state law requiring the street car companies to provide separate accommodations for whites and blacks went into effect Monday and is being enforced with difficulty. The company has reserved the rear seats for negro passengers and placed screens in the cars, but since the recent strike the decrease in the number of cars operated is so great that all of them are generally crowded to the guards. The whites are consequently insisting upon riding in seats set aside for blacks and owerwhelmed by superfor numbers the conductors are finding it practically impossible to make the law effective. MISSISSIPPI BEARS SAFE. President is Forced to Forego Promised Visit to the State. Governor Longino, of Mississippi, has received a telegram from President Roosevelt giving notice that he will not be able to visit Mississippi and take the expected bear hunt in the delta swamps and cane breaks during his southern trip. In his telegram the president expressed regret that it is necessary to abandon this feature of the tour, and says that it is caused solely by the pressure of work incident to the approaching session of congress, which will shorten his trip. FORGERIES RUIN BIG FIRM. Largest Grain Handling Concern in United States Wrecked by One of Its Officers. President F. J. Odenahl, of the F. J. Odenahl Company, limited, at New Orleans, one of the largest grain exporting firms in the United States, has issued the following circular to the grain trade: "We regret very much to have to advise you that our firm is forced into liquidation and will not be able to pay its liabilities. You will spare us the necessity of making further explanations, as they are painful. "Our business has been very profitable and large, but the profit has been diverted into other channels not through any fault of the writer." The circular follows a widely circulated report of alleged forgeries on the part of a prominent officer of the firm, amounting to between $150,000 and $175,000, and at the present time the following banks are known to hold the company's paper in approximately these amounts: Comptoir National d'Escompe de Paris, $70,000; Hibernia Banking and Trust Company, $50,000; Louisiana national bank, $15,000; Commercial national bank, $4,300. The Odenahl Commission Company, has done an enormous grain exporting business and for years has been in the habit of borrowing large sums from ten days to a month on undisputed notes secured by bills of lading, warehouse receipts and blanket insurance policies. It is alleged that advantage has been taken of the high credit of the firm to borrow immense sums from hanks on forged bills of lading and warehouse receipts and that this has been the cause of the failure. F. J. Odenahl, president of the company, was formerly president of the New Orleans board of trade, and is one, of the best known business men in the south. The company bought extensively in Kansas City, St. Louis, Chicago and other cities. No warrant has been issued for the arrest of the official alleged to be responsible for the failure of the firm, and he is reported to have left the city. AUNT CARRIE IN CAROLINA. Kansas Hatchet Wielder Knocks Out Cadet in Charleston and Other- wise Disports Herself. With a right swing on the point of the jaw, Carrie Nation knocked out a cadet from the South Carolina mili- tary academy at Charleston, S. C., simply because he was smoking a cigarette. The cadet was walking in King street with several companions. He first saw the old lady as she made a pass at him, and the blow was so quick that he could neither defend himself nor dodge. The blow landed squarely, and the cadet staggered. He was fall- ing to the ground when his, friends seized him. Infuriated at the attack the cadet recovered his balance and was preparing to strike back. Mrs. Nation lifted her left arm before her face and drew, back her right. "Come right on," she shouted, "I am Carrie Nation." The cadet, who subsequently refused to give his name, did not attempt to do the woman any harm after he had learned her identity. He took the assault good naturally and allowed the Kankas whirlwind to talk to him about the evil of cigarette smoking. The trouble attracted a large crowd. Mrs. Nation led the throng to a cornor grocery store, which she entered. She was trying to walk into; the room in the rear where liquor is sold when she was stopped. When the proprietor said that he did not sell liquor, bystanders claimed that she called him a liar. The keeper of a bling tiger named Dugan met Mrs. Nation and after esting dinner with her in a restaurant escorted her to several blind tigers. At first Mrs. Nation was inclined to make merry at the expense of the fixtures, but she desisted, preferring, she said, to talk. In many of the tigers bouncers were stationed by the door tothrow Mrs. Nation out in case she tried to make trouble. Spent the Day Sunday in Viewing Site of Sanguinary Conflict. President Roosevelt passed several hours Sunday afternoon on the battle field of Cedar Mountain near Brandy Station, Va. Accompanied by Secretary Root, Secretary Cortelyon and Dr. Rixey, the president drove to the site of the sanguinary struggle and there received from an eye witness and participant an account of the battle. It was the most interesting event of the day. The day was perfect and the battle on the battle field was as pleasurable as could be desired. The Savannah Tribune. SUBSCRIPTION RATES. One Year ..... $1.25 Six Months ..... $1.50 Three Months ..... $1.00 Must be made by Express or Post Once Money Order, or Registered Letter. Advertising Rates given on application. THE Negro's only representative in the legislature and also among the few Republicans members, made a bad break in the election of a senator the other day. The Democrats nominated Senator Clay and the Republicans, Hon. W. H. Johnson. Of course the latter had no chance of election, yet he was the party's candidate. Representative Rogers instead of voting for, him cast his vote for the democratic senator. What is the matter with Rogers? "THE Republican Congressional Committee did not put a candidate in the field for the congressional race, therefore Col. Rufns E. Lester will sail in smoothly. Let us vote for the Congressman to succeed himself." The above was taken from the last week's issue of the Darien Spectator, and it is queer advice to come from a Republican leader advocating votes for a Democrat. Can you explain this away, Editor Grant? The legislature has been making appropriations to the various institutions of the State. Among the many appropriations made only one of them concerned our people, and that was the amount of $8,000 given to the Georgia State Industrial College. Many persons seeing this item may think that it came directly from the State, but not so; this is a part of the federal appropriation given direct for the higher education of colored youths. Georgia did not, and has never given a penny toward the higher education of colored children. The name "Georgia State College," is a misnomer as applied to the school at College, Ga. The following article is clipped from the Evening Leader, published at New Haven, and it is refreshing to note: "The parade of the colored Odd-Fellows today was a revelation to the people of New Haven, because it gave the public opportunity to see the leading representatives of a great and prosperous order. "From many states and from countries beyond the sea delegates have come to participate in this big convention, and those delegates are in every sense creditable representatives of the Odd-Fellows order and colored races. "Those who have listened to the debates and watched the transaction of business in the Odd-Fellows' convention this week have been impressed by the fact that the delegates are men of ability, broad understanding and patriotic motives. "Bright men, having bright and well cultured minds, have made addresses that would do credit to any convention of white men. The great progress of the colored race is one of the things not fully realized by the world." REPRESENTATIVE GRICE of Pulaski county is endeavoring to attain similar notoriety to Mr. Hardwick. Possibly he has the congressional bee buzzing in his bonnet and desires to catch it by advocating measures against the Negro. A few days ago a delegation of colored ministers of Atlanta made a request to address the legislature on some questions affecting the race. Before any one had a chance of saying anything this member from Pulaski got up and had the request denied by making a foolish motion to have it referred to a committee not in existence. He thought that he was funny. This same member has a bill before the legislature to have the taxes as paid in by the races divided for school purposes. The purpose of Mr Grice is to curtail the already meagre school facilities of the colored citizens. He is acting without counting the cost. The colored citizens have no objection to the taxes being divided equally. If such a law is passed and a just division is made of the taxes paid in, and if all of the taxes from other sources, such as whiskey license, hiring of convicts, etc, be also given, the colored children would get more than they are now receiving. But it is the justness of this division that we fear and for that reason are in favor of the law as it is. College Dots. Mrs. McLester is well again. Her many friends are glad to see her about on the campus. Last Friday afternoon the faculty and students had a group of picture taken in front of the new dormitory. New students are still coming. The enrollment is over 325. Prof. Cotton went up last Wednesday to meet Mrs. Cotton. He looks much happier now. Mrs. Himes is still contemplating organizing a literary society of the campus people. We hope she will do so soon. Mr.J. O. Few a former student of the college has entered the senior class. He hales from Thomasville, Rev. and Mrs.R. H. Thomas and the other members of the family have the profound sympathy of the college people in their sore affliction. The funeral was conducted by Rev.J. J. Durham in Meldrim Auditorium, the college chapel. The college was filled with teachers, students and the members of College Park Church ot which Johnny was a member. He Was Well-known. "Mr. Nathaniel B. Lee died yesterday morning at the residence of his son, Capt. William G. Lee, at Forty-third and West Broad streets, after an illness of two months. Mr. Lee was a native of Norfolk, Va., and was Si years old. He came to Savannah in 1880 and has since resided here. "The early part of his life was spent in Virginia. He was a descendant of the Lee family of Westmoreland county and had a large family connection throughout the state. He is survived by six children, twelve grandchildren and two great grandchildren. His children are Capt. W G. Lee, Mr C. P. Lee, Mr C. N. Lee, Mrs. Hunter Wynn, Mrs. S. L. Steed of Savannah, and Mrs L. L. Heinz of Griffin. He leaves also a brother, Mr Thomas R. Lee of Norfolk, and a sister, Mrs. Fannie H. Currier of Humpton, Va. "Mr. Lee was a man of unusual activity during the later years of his life and until his final illness was physically the equal of many men's score of years his junior. He was a member of Epworth Methodist Church. His funeral took place from the family residence, on Fort-third street west, on Friday of last week."—Morning News. Capt. W. G. Lee the son mentioned above is an Inspector of Steam Vessels in this city with office in the Custom House, and is highly regarded by all who know him. He has made a great record by saving people from drowning at the iminent peril of his own life, among whom were a number of colored people. Capt. Lee and his relatives have the sympathy of a host of friends in their bereavement among whom is THE TRIBUNE. Bolton Street Church. The services at the -F. A. B. Church West Broa and Bolton streets on last Sunday were interesting and inspiring. Rev. T. M. Williamson, B. D., the faithful pastor and his good people left the church for the b pitsimal waters promptly at 7 a m, and the rite of baptism was administered to Mr. Henry McDowald. At 11 a m, the pastor preached on "individual responsibility." There was a large and appreciative audience at communion at 3:30 p m. At night the service was very interesting. On to-morrow at 11 a m Rev. Williamson will preach on "the gift of grace and glory." At night his subject will be "A. blessed invitation" Text "Come thou with us and we will do thee good." Numbers 10:29. You are invited to attend each service. Come early and be comfortably seated. Ministers Union. The Evangelical Ministers Union met promptly Tuesday morning at St. Philips A. M. E. Church at 11 o'clock with Rev. F. R. Sims presiding, Devotional exercises were conduced by Rev. G. H. Green. The hymn "Jesus lover of my soul," was sung by Rev. Green who offered a touching prayer, and read a part of the 5th. chapter of St. Matthew. A few verses of the hymn "Come ye that love the Lord" was sung, then followed the usual "friendly criticism" which was extremely varied in its Scriptural researches and theological desertations regarding "department" in the pulpit as well as correct phraseology of punctuation and pronunciation in Scriptural reading by Rev. R. H. Singleton, D. D., Rev. A. Cooper, D. D., Rev. D. S. Wells, M. P. E., Rev. C. C. Cargile, D. D. Consideration of the lack of accommodation in the public schools for so many of our children was then resumed, and after a protracted discussion of the matter both pro and con by Revs. R. H. Singleton, A. Cooper, C. C. Cargile, T. N. M. Smith, D. D., R. M. S. Taylor, P. E., J. W. Roberts, D. S. Wells, C. L. Bonner and others in a running debate of considerable pessimistic oratory, and amusing parliamentary sparring of the vade mucum persuasiveness, the following committee was appointed to investigate the matter and endeavor to find out the number of children that have been turned away from the public schools this year: Revs. A. Cooper, D. D, J. W. Roberts, R. H. Singleton, D. D., C. L. Bonner, T. N. M. Smith, D. D. Rev. E. Jonathan Nelson was elected official reporter of the union—current calamo. The president here announced the following advisory committee: Revs. D. S. Wells, M. P. E., J. Jackson, C. C. Cargile, D. D., A. Cooper, D. D, Robert E. Primus; after which the meeting adjourned, benediction by Rev. Roberts. St. Philip's Dots. Sunday was communion day and a large crowd attended every service during the day. Rev. Cargile's text at 11 a. m. was Matt. 39:20, subject 'Believing in Christ.' This subject was beautifully illustrated by the speaker, and every person in the vast-congregation was well benefit- ed for being present. Quite a number of children were christened at the service. At 2 p.m the Sunday school service was held and a great many children were present. Prof. Baldwin and his corps of teachers deserve much credit for bringing the school up to its present standard. At 4 p.m the holy communion was administered to a large membership. At 7:45 p.m, Rev. Cargile delivered one of the best sermons heard in St. Philips for a long time: text Psalm 22:11, subject, "Cheerfulness." This subject was discussed in a plain and practical manner, and all were made glad to have been present. The choir rendered very good music and it was in keeping with the sermon. Monday evening last Miss Effie Dix of Jacksonville, Fla., the talented elocutionist, gave an entertainment at St. Philips which was highly enjoyed by the audience. For an amateur Miss Dix has no equal, and she deserves a better patronage than she is getting from our people. We hope when she returns we will give her a crowded house. Everybody is invited to attend Thursday services and to hear our juvenile choir; they are improving rapidly, and we also can but note our regular choir for their good music they are rendering of late.

They feel that they cannot accomplish very much without the aid of the generous public.

Lincoln Park is now open for the winter season to all visitors, and Capt. Tom Golden, the excellent manager will take pleasure in welcoming all who go out. The season just closed was the most notable in the history of the park. Since Capt. Golden took hold of it he has handled thousands of people, and has had no trouble with anybody. There was never an occasion for the arrest of anybody at the park. Everything out. there has been as serene as a calm sea. The conductors of the cars have even had no trouble with the passengers handled. All of this is credited to the excellent management of Capt. Golden. He is the best manager of anything of the kind in the county. He has had several churches, schools leading societies, and the military to patronize the park, and the representatives of each speak highly of him and the manner he has the park arranged. Capt. Golden has spent several hundred dollars in beautifying the place and having the best kind of attractions. Capt.

At noon today, two years ago, The diant sun shone bright, A harp of gold with strings aglow, Played sweetly through the light, A wifely mother's good-bye was passed Around the room of last repose, The ange s ang a pretty hymn; Her eyes in peace lay close. Her spirit through a crevice flew. To worlds that lie beyond Within the gates: above the blue Wafed by love's angelic song, Her charms lute no fragrant pen Can write as when in flesh We love her now as did we then Her memory still is fresh.

Delegates's Report of the 11th Session of the Biennial Movable Committee of the Grand United Order of Odd-Fellows in America. Past Noble Father, Col. John H. Deveaux, a member of and the delegate of Myrtle Lodge, No. 1663, G. U. O. of F. Rendered his report Tuesday night, of the proceedings of the B. M. C., recently held in New Haven. Conn. He reported every imaginable incident, and the brethren were worked up to a pitch of fraternal frenzy by his timely and prevailing remarks. He told them in a nut shell why we (meaning the lodges throughout Georgia) did not get the mantle of Grand Mastership of America, thrown upon our Georgia candidate, Bro. L. L. Lee, and why Savannah did not get the executive authorities to hold their next meeting in this city. It was a very amuing incident which brought much laughter of how Grand Master Morris pulled the throttle of power open to our candidate for Grand Mastership and thus our candidate was defeated. He told of the Yale College officials' invitation to the B. M. C. to visit their school, and when delegates representing the various states were appointed he represented Georgia at the hospitality shown the representatives by the sale officials, and with what enthusiasm of welcome the delegates were made to feed upon the motto of our Grand Old Order "armorica amor et veritus." He told of the great need of more representation of the southern lodges, and the familiarity of the delegates were made to feed upon the delegated authority of the B. M. C., (which is composed of only eight men) to render final decisions of matters of various lodges, etc. indigne dent of the regular session of the B. M. C. Of course he had the gavel and the support of the northern and western delegates and it is needless to say who lost. However he succeeded in the re-election of Bro. J. C. Ashbury, the editor and manager of the C. Dell-Fellows Journal, with an increase of $200.00 per annum; his salary now being $1200.00. Above all what made the brethren feel truly proud, was to know that through their delegate's masterly and mainly arguments at the B. M. C., that it is a matter of fact that Myrtle Lodge, the mother, 'the oldest and the only banner lodge of Odd-Fellows in this section of the state, has more, and was accorded more recognition than any other lodge in the state. There are now more than 400 lodges upon the fraternal merit. Bro. P. G. M. Richard Barnes, P. N. F. W. H. Burgess, were among the speakers in response to the report. The proficient N. G., W. W. Williams, called the lodge up and as a token of appreciation and esteem gave lodge reception honors to Past Noble Father Deveaux. The meeting as usual was very good. After meeting the officials to the good health of their returned delegate refreshed themselves most enjoyably. Our next meeting will be Tuesday night the 18th instant. Brethren of sister lodges are invited.—W. W. Williams, N. G.; J. H. Baldwin, P. S. A Mistake. It was good common sense, that Jones gave to his friend when he said to him, "The best thing you can do is to correct the great mistake you have made, and is still making." For Jones showed how he had successfully purchased for himself a beautiful home, and, upon the same terms used in paying rent. His friend took his advice and went at once to L. S. Reed, the real estate man, and was surprised to find how easy it was to get a beautiful home, and on such reasonable terms. The home is the bulwark of American civilization, and must be the foundation upon which the American Negro should build for the future. It will be to your interest to see Mr. Red who will interest you in procuring for yourself and children a home. He will be glad to give such information, at his office, 22 State Street West. Mrs. Rachel Middleton Baldwin and Johnnie Louise are spending a few days in Valdosta, taking in the sights of the State fair and visiting relatives and friends. Who is Your Barber?

PERUHA CURES CATARRH OF THE KIDNEYS Pe-ru-na Creating a National Sensation In the Cure of Chronic Allergies of the Kineys. Major T. H. Mars, of the First Wisconsin Cavalry Regiment, writes from 1425 Dunning street, Chicago, Ill., the following letter: "For years I suffered with catarrh of the kidneys contracted in the army. Medicine did not help me until a comrade who had been helped by Peruna advised me to try it. I bought some at once, and soon found blessed rottef. I kept taking it four months, and am now well and strong and feel better than I have done for the past twenty years, thanks to Peruna." The escape of serum from the blood. Peruna stimulates the kidneys to excrete from the blood the accumulating poison, and thus prevents the convulsions which are sure to follow if the poisons are allowed to remain. It gives great vigor to the heart's action and digestive system, both of which are apt to fall rapidly in this disease. Peruna cures catarrh of the kidneys simply because it cures catarrh wherever located. If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case, and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis. Address Dr. Hartman, President of The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, Ohio. THERE ARE FOOLS AND FOOLS. Those Whp Risk Death at Niagara and Those Who Ask Questions. "There are two distinct sets of fools in this country," said the proprietor of a hotel at Niagara Falls, as one of his guests took a seat in the lobby with him, for the air outside was cold. "I thought the classification of fools was on a good deal broader lines than that," said the guest. "I always thought there were as many kinds of fools as there were persons." "So there are," was the answer; "but I mean two species which have come under my special observation. For example, there is the fool who is forever trying to kill himself without wanting to make a complete success of it, and, then, the fool who is always asking how the first fool succeeded. "Every summer a half dozen persons are advertised to shoot the rapids, or walk over the whirlpool on a tightrope, or barrel themselves up and tumble over the falls. Some say they are going to do it, but, like a cheap sideshow, put all their employees to work blowing horns outside the tent, but when it comes to the real performance they point to only a chromo and a pair of mirrors, to exhibit their 'three headed cannibal.' And then some are less foolish and go ahead and kill themselves outright. "Every mail brings me letters from the other class of fools, who, for example, will ask such a question as: "Will you please tell me how many persons have gone over the Falls alive?" "I never answer those letters, of course. It would help the United States, I know, but I'd rather give the money to the Treasury Department direct. If any one stopped me on the street and asked me that question, I used to say: "Not one! Every last fool of 'em is dead! But I can't say that now. I wish I could; for it's so much shorter. But now I have to hem and haw and think hard and say: "Why, yes, there was a woman who went over, a—Mrs.—Taylor. She went in a barrel over the Horseshoe Falls, and lived through it." Here the hotel proprietor paused a moment, and then added: "But do you know what she got for it? Nothing. She started out to lecture to crowded houses, and to tell how she had met death face to face in a barrel, but the people wouldn't turn out." "I suppose they didn't want to be lectured to by the barrel," remarked the guest, meditatively.—New York Tribune. Lord Tufnutt—You have nothing to grumble at whatever; you were a rich American girl, I an impoverished English nobleman, with a proud title. You bought me with your wealth. I was what you would simply call in shopping, a bargain! Lady Tufnutt—Pardon me! Not a bargain—a remnant. Opportunity knocks at the door of most men so gently that they can't hear it if their ears are gured to the mouth.—New York Press. Major T. H. Mars, of the Wisconsin Carvaley Regiment, writes from 1425 Dunning street, Chicago, Ill., the following letter: "Foryears I suffered with catarrh of the kidnows contracted in the army. Medicine did not help me any until a comrade who had been helped by Peruna advised me to try it. I bought some at once, and soon found blessed roller. I kept taking it four months, and am now well and strong and feet better than I have done for the past twenty years, thanks to Peruna."—T. H. Mars. Mr. John Vance, of Hartford City, Ind., says: "My kidney trouble is much better. I have improved so much that everybody wants to know what medicine I am using. I recommend Peruna to everybody, and some have commenced to use it. The folks all say that if Dr. Hartnian's medicine cures me it must be great."—John Vance. Mr. J. Brake, of Petrolea, Ontario, Canada, writes: "Four years ago I had a severe attack of Bright's disease, which brought me so low the doctor said nothing more could be done for me. I began to take Peruna and Manaltn, and in three months I was a well man, and have continued so ever since." - J. Brake. At the appearance of the first symp POOR HUMAN NATURE. "Women dress very ridiculously," he said, as he watched his wife finishing her toilet. "It is the fashion, John," she said, pleasantly. "Fashion be hanged!" said he. "I would be superior to fashion, if I were a woman, and wear nothing not useful." Five minutes later he asked her to sew a button on the back of his coat.

You Can Never Be Sure of What His Next Break Will Be. The great virtue about the really clumsy man is that he never exhausts his capabilities. When you think that the bedrock is reached, there is still a lower depth. If n detrimental relative should exist, the clumsy man asks after his health with great particularity and will not be satisfied until he receives a full and detailed reply. Should there be any incident in your past which everybody has generously agreed to forget it is the clumsy man who seizes the one, the inevitable opportunity, when the club is at its fullest, and says loudly: 'Somebody was talking the other day about that unfortunate little affair of yours in '95. Now tell me!" When on meeting him you say casually and with no desire for information, "How are you?" he insists upon giving you a complete data, and he is as full of small complaints as a refractory pauper. It is only fair to add that he will ask affectionately after the colds of yesteryear, and his favorite locale for this is at the corner of a drafty street. He might be subsidized by influenza or he might get a commission on sore throats from his eagerness to pin you into the most dangerous position that can be discovered, says the Philadelphia Ledget. One desires an adequate amount of sympathy in distress, hut our man always goes a little beyond this point. You are growing thin, and he says that you are wasting away to a shadow. You are growing stout, and he tells an unamusing anecdote about apoplexy. He can be more critical than a hairdresser if occasion gives the least excuse. THE CHILDREN ENJOY Life out of doors and out of the games which they play and the enjoyment which they receive and the efforts which they make, comes the greater part of that healthful development which is so essential to their happiness, when grown. When a laxative is needed the remedy which is given to them to cleanse and sweeten and strengthen the internal organs on which it acts, should be such as physicians would sanction, because its component parts are known to be wholesome and the remedy itself free from every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents, well-informed, approve and recommend and which the little ones enjoy, because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects, is Syrup of Figs—and for the same reason it is the only laxative which should be used by fathers and mothers. Syrup of Figs is the only remedy which acts gently, pleasantly and naturally without griping, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the system effectually, without producing that constipated habit which results from the use of the old-time cathartics and modern imitations, and against which the children should be so carefully guarded. If you would have them grow to manhood and womanhood, strong, healthy and happy, do not give them medicines, when medicines are not needed, and when nature needs assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only the simple, pleasant and gentle—Syrup of Figs. Its quality is due not only to the excellence of the combination of the laxative principles of plants with pleasant aromatic syrups and juices, but also to our original method of manufacture and as you value the health of the little ones, do not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous dealers sometimes offer to increase their profits. The genuine article may be bought anywhere of all reliable drugstores at fifty cents per bottle. Please CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO.—is printed on the front of every package.
