COLOMBIA IS TARDY And Nicaragua May Now Get a Chance at Canal. HAY IS TIRED OF THE DELAY Advocates of Niciregua Route art Greatly Encouraged at Turn of Affairs and Hope to Finally Win Out. A Washington special satir: The negotiations with Colombia relative to the Panama canal has given great en couragement to the friends of the Nicaragua project and the first evidence of renewed activity on their part was the appearance at the state department Thursday of Senor Coraz. Nicaraguan minister to Washington. Secretary Hay never has taken the ground that the negotiations with Nicaragua and Costa Rica were terminated by the passage of the Spooner amendment. On the contrary, as he felt called on to direct the attention of the Colombian government at moments when the negotiations have lagged or unseemly delay intervened, to the foot that under section 4 of the Spooner act, if he is unable to obtain a satisfactory title from the Panama company and control of the necessary territory in Colombia by treaty, then he is required to obtain such territory from Costa Rica and Nicaragua. The present hitch in the Colombian negotiations has, therefore, encouraged the Nicaraguan contingent, and it is now said to be probable that to emphasize the repeated declaration that the act of congress in the passage of the Spooser amendment did not finally commit the United States to the acceptance of the Panama route, Secretary Hay may proceed to draw up a treaty with Nicaragua and Costa Rica on the lines of the protocols laid before the last senate, and submit it to the senate at its next session along with such a treaty with Colombia as he may be able to conclude. In this way the senate itself might decide whether or not the Colombian treaty is satisfactory, and if it should decide in the negative, then it will have to hand the Nicaragua Costa Rican treaties, so that there will be no excuse for delay in the canal protect. As for the Colombian negotiations, it can be stated that the United States has now come to the practical end of the concessions it is willing to make, and it has received from Colombia a memorandum noting a number of objections to its proposed treaty. Some of these have been admitted to be well taken, but the great majority have been regarded as either in contradiction of the terms of the Spooner act or inadmissible for other reasons. The Colombian minister to Washington has been notified of the decision reached, and is expected to make further reply, either accepting or rejecting our last proposition. The state department does not regard the objections lodged by Colombia as material; the Colombians on their part think they are vital. Such, for instance, is the difference over the tenure of the United States in the canal strip. This has been alluded to before as one easy of adjustment, but it now appears that the Colombians do not see their way to accepting any of the compromising propositions on this point offered by the United States. Prominent senators who have been consulted by the state department have indicated their strong opposition to the acceptance of a hundred years' lease with a provision of renewal. Nothing less than "perpetual control," as set down in the act, will satisfy them. The Colombians say that would be a violation of their constitution. But a careful reading of the Colombian constitution by the officials here does not satisfy them that there is any such prohibition against alienation of territory as is represented. Six white roan have been arrested and placed in jail at Pocahontas, Va., charged with setting fire to the mines of the Pocahontas Collieries Company on the night of August 31st last. EVEN DOZEN HIGHWAYMEN. Hold Up Train In Iowa and Use Dynamite on Express Car. A westbound passenger and express train on the Rock Island road, known as No. 11, was held up by twelve masked robbers, soon after midnight Friday morning, at a point twelve miles west of Davenport, Iowa. The robbers uncoupled the express car and ran it two miles further west, where the safe was blown open with dynamite. The explosion was heard in Davenport. The amount of booty secured has not, as yet, been made known. PEACE TREATY IS SIGNED Between Colombian Government and Warring Revolutionists-Bat Isfaction in Washington. According to a dispatch from Panama, Consul General Gudger landed from the Wisconsin at 4 o'clock Friday afternoon with the news that a treaty of peace has been signed by the revolutionary general, Herrera, and the government commissioners. Satisfaction at Washington. Satisfaction at Washington. Although they have not received any official confirmation of the report, officials of the Colombian legation at Washington express great satisfaction over the news that a treaty of peace has been signed with General Herrera. They feel this will bring about a cessation of all hostilities on the Isthmus and terminate a war which has ravaged Colombia for several years. The government of Colombia, realizing the monace to its interests which the presence of General Herrera and his army would be to negotiations for the construction of a Panama canal, put forth every effort to bring about his capitulation, and for this purpose a large number of troops has been massed in the vicinity of Panama and Colon ready for an active campaign against the revolutionary general should such action finally be determined on. It is believed in Washington that the terms of the treaty negotiated follow in many respects the offers made to the rebels sometime ago by President Marroquin. These were regarded by the government as extremely liberal in character. An essential feature of them was the granting of amnesty to the revolutionists and their restoration to certain rights which they forfeited when they took up arms against the government. General Herrera's action follows closely on the recent surrender of General Uribe-Uribe to the government forces. General Uribe-Uribe has been recognized as probably the foremost rebel leader and his surrender was a source of great satisfaction to the Colombians, as in their opinion it meant the termination of all organized armed resistance to the government in the interior of Colombia. LIFE CONVICT A HERO. Went to Jailer's Assistance When Attacked by Other Prisoners Monroe Adams, the double murderer, led a well-nigh successful mall delivery at Amorlicus, Ga.. Friday morning, furiously attacking Jaller Ronaldson Brown. As that officer was jailing a prisoner, a large number of convicts and prisoners were exercising in the jail corridor, and as Jaller Brown opened the door Monroe Adams clutched his throat and plioned the officer to the floor while five other desperadoes likewise attacked him. Jaller Brown called to a negro convict, George Trotter, under life sentence, who came to the officer's rescue, who, when freed, pulled his pistol and forced the six desperadoes back to their cells, while a shot fired in the air quickly brought Sheriff Bell to his assistance. In entering the corridor Officer Brown took the precaution to lock the street door and conceal the key, else many prisoners might have escaped. The attack was sudden and unexpected. The courage of the officer and the negro, Trotter, alone averted a tragedy and possible wholesale jail delivery. NEGRO LYNCHED; SHERIFF. OUT. Indiana Law Brought Into Action by Governor Durbin. Governor Durbin, of Indiana, Friday notified Sheriff Dudley., of Sullivan county, where James Dillard, the negro who assaulted Mrs. Mary Davis, was hanged by a mob Thursday night, that his office was vacant, and that the coroner becomes sheriff ex-officio. The Indiana law provides that a sheriff shall vacate his office when a prisoner in his charge is lynched. The mob took Dillard away from the sheriff on the highway and hanged him to a telegraph pole. The sheriff has the right, under the law, to ask to be reinstated, but he must show that he was powerless to protect his prisoner. HILL GETS HIS REWARD. Gov. Terrell Appoints Campaign Manager Railroad Commissioner. Monday Hon. Warner Hill, of Merlwether county, was appointed by Governor Terrell railroad commissioner of Georgia for the term of six years, beginning October 15, 1903. Mr. Hill will succeed Judge Spencer R. Atkinson, whose term will expire at that time. Judge Atkinson was appointed by Governor W. Y. Atkinson, and since the expiration of the term of Commissioner Cronshaw he has been chairman of the commission. Mr. Hill was Governor Terrell's campaign manage A NEW PEACE MOVE Proposition for Operators and Strikers to Get Together. WILL KNOCK OUT ARBITRATORS Annôluïcémèht Causes à Genuine Sensation—Strike Commissioners A special from Scranton, Pa., says: The mine workers, through their representatives, have agreed with the mine owners to attempt to adjust the differences existing between them outside the antracite coal silicone commission. The proposition was made on a compromise basis and negotiations, it is expected, will be at once entered upon, with a reasonable hope of settlement with the aid of the arbitrators. The rough proposition which is to form the basis of negotiations, is a 10 per cent. increase in wages, a nine hour day, and trade agreements between the miners and the company by whom they are employed. The only one of the four demands not touched upon is that of the weighing of the coal by the legal ton. While both sides have expressed the willingness to settle their differences among themselves, it is not to be construed that it carries with it the acceptance of the terms proposed. They are mentioned only as a basis, it is understood, from which a settlement is to be effected. It is possible that the foundation already had can be wrecked by either partly holding out too strongly against some question, and thus leave the whole matter in the hands of the commissioners, who, in the meantime, will act as a sort of a board of conciliation rather than as a board of arbitration. Came as a Surprise. Few persons were aware that an attempt would be made, at an outside settlement until it was practically so intimated by Judge Gray, the chairman of the commission, who read a carefully prepared announcement from the "bench." The move, one of the most important in the whole history of the coal strike, created a mild sensation when it became known. The surprise was all the greater when it will be remembered that numerous persons from the president of the United States down, and that many organizations from the National Civic Federation to the small boards of trade of the mining towns, failed to bring the two parties together. It is said it was all brought, about by both sides seeing that the proceedings before the commission would be interminable, and that, in the intermingling of the lawyers for both sides, the outside agreement proposition was broached and taken up. It cannot be officially stated which party made the proposition first. The attorneys for both sides are averse to talking, but those who were inclined to say something differ in their statements. An attorney for one of the railroads sad it came from the miner's side while one lawyer for the miners said it came from the operators. Another representative of the miners said "it was a spontaneous proposition." It is generally believed, however, that the operators were the first to make the proposition. Wayne MacVeagh, who carried on such a brilliant cross-examination of President Mitchell, is given credit for bringing about the present situation. He went to New York after he finished with Mr. Mitchell and had a conference with certain persons connected with the coal industry, among them; it is reported, J. Pierpont Morgan. He was in New York Friday in connection with the matter. Arbitrators Are Willing The commissioners were informed of the new turn of affairs, and acquiesced in the proposed arrangement. The subject did not directly come up in the hearing Friday, and the adjournment proposition was made ostensibly to permit both sides to complete their work of preparing documentary evidence. TWO IMPORTANT BILLS. Affecting Dates of Elections and of Georgia Assembly Passed. By unanimous vote the Georgia senate Thursday passed a bill changing the date of holding state elections from the first Wednesday in October to the Tuesday after the first Monday in November, beginning in 1904 and biennially thereafter. The senate also unanimously passed a bill changing the time for the meeting of the general assembly from the fourth Wednesday in October of each year to the fourth Wednesday in June, beginning in 1903. Both measures have been transmitted to the house. FLAMES TAKE LIVES Many Persons Victims of Great Fire at Ashland, Wisconsin. IMMENSE DOCKS ARE BURNED Firefighters and Dockmen Caught In the Collapse—Number of Dead Not Yet Known—Property Loss Over Half Million. The Wisconsin Central railroad ore dock at Ashland, Wis., was destroyed by fire Saturday afternoon, the loss involved being about $525,000. In falli ning the dock carried with it a number of firemen and dockmen, and sever al lives were lost, just how many probably will not be known for sever al days. Several badly injured fire men were removed from the burning ruins, one of them with both legs broken. The fire caught about 5 o'clock, presumably from a boat unloading lumber on the slip. Before the firemen arrived the entire ore dock, half a mile long, was in flames. An engine was full on the tramway as near to the fire as possible and half a hundred men began tearing apart the timbers connecting the tramway and the dock, to keep it from falling with the dock. Suddenly the dock gave way, falling with a crash and carrying with it 200 feet of the tramway, the engine just barely escaping, the fall into the bay. Several hundred people were under the tramway, but most of them escaped with slight injuries. As the broken tramway and the burning dock fell, at least a dozen men were seen to go down fh the ruins. The wreck fell into 20 feet of water, and it will be impossible to recover the bodies for some time. When the fire began the upper dockman was cut off from the shore, and a lumber boat was put off to rescue him. Another man, in running to the shore, fell into an ore pocket and his companions were compelled to leave him to his fate. GOMPER$ IS RE-ELECTED.

DEATH OF TENNENT LOMAX. Removes One of the Most Brilliant Young Men in State of Alabama: Hon. Tennent Lomax, the solicitor for Montgomery county, Alabama; died at his home in Montgomery Friday. Mr. Lomax was one of the most brilliant young men that ever lived in the state. He was a talented lawyer, an orator of note, and was distinguished throughout the United States in the order of Knights of Pythias. Mr. Lomax's death removes the greatest prosecuting attorney in the state of Alabama. He was a son of the Confederate General Lomax. EX·QUEEN LILIOUKALANI Swoops Down Upon National Capital for an Indefinite Stay. Former Queen Queen Lilloukalana, of Hawaii, arrived in Washington Sunday, night to remain for some time. She was accompanied by her maid and by John D. Amilku. She is seeking favorable action by congress on measures for her relief. John Schenken, of Fredericksburg, Texas, was saved from death by the fidelity-of his dog. Schenken was camping in a lone spot, 19 miles west of Austin, and early Thursday morning was attacked by a large pack of ravenous wolves. He was overpowered by the animals and severely bitten. Schenken's dog came to his rescue and diverted the attention of the wolves while his master climbed into his wagon. The dog was killed and eaten by the wolves. MINISTERS ROAST SMOOT. Alliances of Salt Lake City Adopt Strong Resolutions Against His Senatorial Aspirations. The Ministerial Alliance of Salt Lake City, Utah, Monday adopted resolutions strongly opposing the proposed election to the United States senate of Road Smoot, one of the twelve apostles of the Mormon church. A copy of the resolutions will be sent to every ministerial alliance of prominence in the country at once, and also probably to President Rosevelt, every congressman and United States senator, and every one prominent in political life. The resolutions in part are as follows: "We protest against this endeavor to elect Apostle Smoot to the United States senate as an endeavor to force upon the citizens of Utah a union of the church and the state. "The election of a man who holds the highest office, save one, in the gift of the Morman church to the highest office, save one, in the gift of the people of Utah or the United States, would be a menace to our civilized and religious beliefs. No other church has dared to attempt such an ecclesiastical invasion of congress. "The election of Apostle Smoot for the United States senate would virtually be the election of the will of the Morman first presidency and twelve apostles to that body." As a consistent member of the Mormon apostolate, Apostle Smoot cannot make an important move without getting permission or taking counsel of the quorum of Mormon high priests to which he belongs. By virtue of his apostolic vows he must act first as a Mormon apostle, and second, or third, as a citizen of Utah and patriotic American. "We protest against the proposed election of Apostle Smoot to the United States senate because the majority of the Mormon apostolate to which he belongs, and with which he works in harmony, are living in polygamous relations in violation of covenants made to the people of the United States, as well as in violation of the criminal statutes of Utah. The two or three apostles who may be living monogamous lives are obliged to defend the righteousness of the polygamous system of marriage and to wink at the law-breaking, polygamous relation of their fellow apostles. "The Mormon apostolate stands as one man before the community as directly or indirectly encouraging or enalving at the continuance of polygamous relations throughout the Mormon church." NO HELP FOR VENEZUÉLA Monroe Doctrine Cannot be Stretched Over Little Republic. The state department is thoroughly well informed of the length to which Great Britain, Germany and other European powers propose to go in their dealings with Venezuela. Great Britain and Germany have, in fact, sounded the department to learn whether any objections would be made to active measures on their part to secure the collection of debts due their citizens' on account of violated concessions and the destruction of their property incident to the internal discussions which have raged in Venezuela for several years past. The department has been extremely cautious in dealing with these inquiries, but the substance of its replies in all cases has been set out in the declaration of President Roosevelt that the United States does not construe the Monroe doctrine to mean that it should shelter any of the American republics against the results of their own misdeeds or violations of international amenity. The only condition made by the president was that the punishment inflicted upon any of these South American republics by a European power must not include the seizure by that power of any American soil. Georgia Boys Nominated. It was announced at the war department Monday that among the recent nominators to second lieutenancies in the army are the following Georgians: James H. Beyers, R. M. Blount, J. S. Conde, Grant Capron and George Fleetwood. Son of Minister Hunter Slays Man from Michigan in Guatemala City. The state department has been informed that Godfrey Hunter, Jr., son of the United States minister at Guatemala City, Friday shot and killed a man named Fitzgerald, of Grand Rapids, Mich. Hunter has taken refuge in the legation and an interesting question has arised as to his exemption from arrest. Important details are lacking in the report of the affair, which has come to the state department, and the officials are in doubt as to what should be done. ```markdown ``` RIOTING IN HAVANA Strikers Attempt to Take Charge of the Cuban Capital. NEARLY A HUNDRED MEN SHOT As Result of Bloody Clash Two Strikers are Dead and a Score of People are Wounded Among Them Several Police Officers. As the result of conflicts of a serious nature in Havana Monday between the police and the men on strike there, two strikers are dead and eighty-two other persons wounded. Five of the wounded, one a lieutenant of police, whose throat was cut by a striker, have very severe injuries. Eight other policemen are wounded. The strike, which at first only concerned the cigar makers, became general at an early hour of the morning, by the calling of all trades in sympathy with the cigar makers. All the trades people closed their doors at once, clerks, cooks and every class of workmen having obeyed the command of the union except the motormen and conductors of the electric cars, who refused to join in the general strike. Trouble began by the holding up of the electric cars by the strikers, whose wrath naturally was directed against the street railroad employees. Several cars were held up and stoned in the outskirts of the city and the passengers were compelled to walk into Havana, among these being the British and German minister. Several cars were wrecked and some motormen and conductors were injured during those occurrences. The car men, however, continued running their cars until 10 o'clock, when Superintendent Greenwood ordered a suspension of traffic. The employees were willing to remain at work, but the officers of the company, in order to protect the property, deemed it wise to suspend the service. Mr. Greenwood had asked for protection from the civil governor, but the authorities were unable to protect the public vehicles. A mob of strikers drove the men on the western railroad from the trains during the morning. The mayor took drastic measures and issued an edict prohibiting crowds from gathering in the streets and authorizing the chief of police to kill, if such action should be necessary, to preserve order. The Central Veterans' Union, headed by General Gomez, hold a meeting during the afternoon and sent word to the labor unions, that if the disorders continued the veterans would offer their services to President Palma to preserve order. No'bread or meat is on sale, and a continuance of the strike will cause much suffering to the poor. The mayor gave full power to the chief of police who soon had the situation under control. Public Blames Tamayo. Senor Tamayo has resigned his office of secretary of government, but President Palma will not accept his resignation until the strike has been settled. The public blames Tamayo for his active participation in the strike and says he and the mayor are responsible for the riot, as he had openly expressed sympathy with the strikers. At a political meeting last week, at which Senor Tamayo was chairman, he indorsed the action of the strikers. "CHANGE OF VENUE." Scenes of Strike Settlement Negotiations Transferred to Washington. The scenes of the strike settlement negotiations have been suddenly shifted from Scranton to Washington and New York. In the latter city the committee of nine of the independent operators expect to hold a conference with the presidents of the coal carrying roads regarding the position of the individual companies, and at the same time a meeting between Wayne MacVeagh and possibly other attorneys will be held in the national capital. THIRD CARGO TO LIBERIA. Ship Load of Negroes to Sall From Savannah in January. The steamship Donnald will sail from Savannah, Ga., January 20 next for Liberia with a passenger list of 300 ex-slaves and other colored residents of the south. Agents are in the city now making arrangements for the departure of the vessel. These negroes will come from all sections of the south. This will be the third cargo that has been sent from Hayannah. THE Boston Guardian recently c.lebrated its anniversary. The Guardian is one of our best sentiment making papers. THE Republicans of McIntosh county, as can be seen in another column, has "jacked" up Representative Rogers for voting against a Republican in favor of a Democrat, now what are they going to do with Editor Grant of the Spectator for advising the people to vote for a Democratic congressman? A NUMBER of our young men degrade themselves by frequenting the peanut gallery of the theatre accompanied by their best girls, but who never think about becoming a good citizen by paying a dollar a year for tax which makes them voters and which amount at the same time goes toward the education of our children. A GREAT cry has been made for Congress to investigate the election laws of the South, especially the disfranchising part of them. While it will not hurt to have such an investigation, yet it would be far better to have the supreme court to pass on these laws upon the merit thereof, and if this is done, we feel assured that the grand-father clause will stand not a ghost of a show. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT is to be commended for the two excellent appointments he has recently made: Editor T. Thomas Fortune as special commissioner to investigate conditions in our insular possessions and Hon. John S. Durham as assistant attorney before the Spanish Claims Commission. These are able men and will undoubtedly reflect great credit upon the race they represent. AND alas! the separate street can law of New Orleans has been working awry and the citizens have been vigorously protesting against it. The local court has been applied to for relief the law has been declared unconstitutional. The case was appealed to a higher court, and the sentiment is that that court will uphold the decision of the lower court; if so another victory for our people will be scored. With this done and the Alabama and Virginia cases decided in our favor we will be able to sing more heartily: "Praise God from Whom all blessings flow." THE Times Messenger of Florence S. C., a rabid democratic sheet says: "Really in the matter of Charleston's collector and the other federal offices in this state we cannot see the right of the people to object to the president filling them with the men from whom he expects to get some thing in the way of support. These offices are generally regarded as political spoil. They ought not to be, but that is no question. We believe we would rather see them filled occasionally with Negroes. We have no kick coming. If the Negro is to enter politics at all he must have some of the plums. We would rather see good offices given to Negroes than to see good but weak speed democrats bought over by a little federal patronage and the history of politics has shown that we have lost some good men through this sort of thing. It seems absolutely impossible for a man to get mixed up with this sort of tar without getting blackened. We hate to see any more men sacrificed". The colored citizens held a massmeeting about two weeks ago and appointed a committee to wait on the Board of Education to make a request for another school building. This committee did so at the last meeting of the board and presented a strong petition. The Ministers Union saw fit to supplement this by appointing a committee from its body which waited on Supt. Ashmore last week. It is reported in the daily papers that the superintendent told them that when the colored people pay more tax they will get another building. We will not at present say anything against this, but place it with much empha- siblings before our people and when we prove to them where much of their weakness lies. In this county the colored people are in the majority and yet they allow the whites to pay about five thousand dollars for poll tax while they pay a little over five hundred. Should this not cause every colored man to stop and consider? What can we expect to gain with such facts staring us in the face? The young men must be awaken to a full sense of their duty and the old men too must do their A PETITION is being circulated and will be presented to the city council for the purpose of keeping young girls and women off of the streets after a certain hour at night. While we are in a sense against restrictive legislation of this kind, yet where the effect would be as great as in this case, especially to the benefit of a certain class of our people, we heartily commend it. There are among a certain class of our parents those who care nothing about the whereabouts of their girls at nights and girls of such parents generally "go to the dogs." These girls contaminate other girls whose parents try to restrain them and they cause a blot that is daily spreading upon us as a race. Then there are others of our women who can be found on the streets at all hours of the night. They nor the girls are molested by the police but are allowed to ply their vice with immunity. It gives us no pleasure to show up this great weakness of our people, and this much is done solely with the hope that something may be done to cause them to change their mode of living. To any one who visits the business and other sections of the city at nights, the heartrending scene of large numbers of girls, some not in their 'teens, is witnessed and in these sections are dens where they congregate and are generally frequented by men of the opposite race, the very men who in the day would turn up their nose at a Negro. It is a notorious fact that this is openly done immediately under the eyes of the police. These girls should be made to abandon their way of living and the men of the opposite race should be taught in a no uncertain way to "keep in their class." For the reasons above cited we heartily commend the efforts to have an ordinance passed which will cause these girls and women to remain off of the streets at nights, and their dens of vice broken up. In our issue of week before last we spoke of the bill introduced in the legislature to have patrols in all sections of the state and predicted its defeat. It came up for consideration on Tuesday and the sentiment of the members of the house was thoroughly against it. Representative Hill of Bibb county said that "It ought to be entitled a bill to raise hell in Georgia," and that's just what it would have done. If it had passed it would mean the employment of about 12,000 extra officers in the state who would receive their pay from the number of arrests made, and these officers would get their fee in some manner, and in many cases the innocent ones would have to suffer. The bill was tabled. McIntosh Protests. The Republican Executive Committee of McIntosh County met last week and adopted the following resolutions : "We, the Executive committee of the Republican party of McIntosh County, met and have considered the action of Represent tive Wm. Rogers of said County in the Georgia Assembly, Nov. 4th., 1002, in the position he took in the election for the candidate to the United States Senate. "Whereas, Representative Wm. Rogers was sent to the Assembly from the Republican Party of McIntosh County to the Georgia Legislature, to vindicate the cause of republicanism and whereas he voted against Col. W. II. Johnson, a staunch leader of the republican party, for the democratic candidate Hon. A. S. Clay; Therefore be it "Resolved, That we the executive committee of the Republican party of McIntosh County do hereby protest against such action of which he is wholly responsible. J. L Grant Secretary, H. L. Fulton, chairman." St. Philip's Dots. The attendance at the morning service increase every Sunday. The sermon last Sunday at 11 o'clock was one of the best that has been heard in a good while. Hymn 247 was sung by choir and congregation. Text was Heb. 12:4, subject "The sword of God." At the night service Rev. Cargile preached to a large audience Hymn 123 "How sweet the name of Jesus sounds," was sung, text Phil. 3:10, subject "True fellowship." This was a heart-stirring sermon and every person was highly benefitted. Two weeks more and Rev. Cargile will leave for conference. Every member that has not paid his dollar money must pay without delay, those in the city and those out of the city. We can't afford to fall behind former years. Keep in mind our great bazaar which will open on Monday night Jan. 26, 1903. Any amount from our friends will be thankfully received. The usual services will be held Sunday. Bolton Street Church. The services at the F. A. B. Church, West Broad street on last Sunday, were very interesting and inspiring. Rev. T. M. Williamson, B.D., the eloquent and energetic pastor, preached in the morning on "the first commandment." -The sermon was replete with logical arguments, and the speaker held his audience spell-bound from introduction to peroration. At night his subject was "A Shout for Joy." He seemed to be entirely in the hands of the Holy Spirit, and the people said that they were benefited mentally and spiritually. On tomorrow morning Rev. Williamson's subject will be "Thunderbolts from Sinai." At night his subject will be "The blessings of the gospel." You are invited to attend each service. Don't forget the grand fair at Harris street hall, which begins on Monday night next. Rev. Williamson's good people are as busy as bees in their preparations to make this the grandest fair ever given. If you attend it you will be highly entertained. Masonic Column, W. M., R. D. Parker of Mt. Horeb Lodge has sent $11 00 for the Home. Through Secretary L. C. Braswell of Seven Star Lodge we are informed that the lodge has donated its part for the Home. Secretary Pickern of St. Luke at Camilla, said that his lodge has forwarded $11.75 for the Home. Let the good work continue. *Willing Workers Chapter, O. E. S. was organized at Perry's Mills recently by District Deputy Grand Patron, S. S. Mincey. The following are the officers: Mrs. S. Williams, W. M.; Bro. H. Randall, W. P.; Mrs. Mattie Randall, A. M.; Mrs. Janie Haines, Cond.; Mrs. Abbie Gaffney, Sec.; Mrs. Hattie Edgeston, Treas.; Mrs. Mary Laster, A. Cond.; Miss Victory Brown, Charify; Miss Bessie Monro, Wisdom; Mrs. G. Silas, Faith; Mrs. Lula Hamilton, Truth; Mrs. C. Jonge, Herald; Mrs. Margaret Smith, Warder; W. Haines, Sentinel; E. C. Oliver, Chaplain; Albert Edgeston, Marshal. This Chapter is expected to be one of the best in the state. They have an excellent class of members with good officers. Thanks are returned to Bro. Mincey for adding to our number of Chapters. MASONIC HOME. The necessity and advantage of owning a home of its own cannot be too strongly urged upon every Masonic lodge. It is a most desirable object which a proper management of lodge finances should be able to bring about. Our lodges with the right kind of officers watching closely after the finances and with an earnest desire to own their own meeting place, can soon accumulate enough money to own a modest lodge room. I don't mean a four story building such as we tried to have on Ivy street and Piedmont Ave., but a one or two story building a little distance out from the city. It is a fact of owning a home, the feeling of possession, that helps the lodge more than the mere investment. It generates a keener interest in lodge affairs; a gater prilid and a much greater stability. The general condition of the body becomes stronger, the members feel like working harder for the order, there is better attendance and better work every way. By all means let us come together brethren and own a little lodge home of our own. A surplus in the banks is a good thing, but a colored Masonic hall of our own would be better. Literary and Social. The fourth meeting of the F. E. W. Harper Literary and Social Circle was held at the residence of Mrs. Dr. L. S. Parks on Friday of last week. The meeting was an interesting one. The circle finished reading Shakespeare's "As you like it," and will nextread the "Tempest" The member present were: Miss G. Emma Lewis, Mrs. 1. McCray Mitchell, Mrs. J. Florence Whalev, Mrs. J. H. Patterson, Miss G. Hurd, Mrs. E. D. Bulkley, Mrs. J. W. Williams, Mrs. G. Johnson, Mrs. C. F. Jones, Mrs. L. S. Reed, Miss Rosa Brown, Miss L. G. Fleming, Miss L. Bowman. The invited guests were, Miss G. Myers, Miss Belle Hamilton, Miss Anna Ingram of Egypt, Dr. J. W. Williams, Dr. J. H. Bugg, Mr. and Mrs. George S. Williams, Dr. T. James Davis, Dr. E. D. Bulkley. After the literary feature, the circle partook of the choice supply of refreshments, prepared by the hostess The next meeting on the first Friday in December will be held at 218 East Broad street Ministers Union. "A charge to keep I have" was the opening hymn sung by Rev. James Jackson, who conducted the devotional exercises of the Evangelical Ministers Union on Tuesday morning at the regular place of meeting, while the President, Rev. F. R Sims presided.

D., were of a passive nature and in keeping with the true spirit of our cardinal unity and ministerial prudence. Dr. Cooper submitted a report from the sub-committee on education which was appointed to peti- tion the Board of Education through the superintendent of the public schools, in behalf of the large number of children who have been turned away from the schools this year. Dr Cooper then delivered a very excellent speech to the union in explanation of the work performed by said committee and of the cordial reception by Mr. Ashmore, the superintendent, and of the encouragement the committee had received from him and of his efforts with the Board of Education in the direction or securing additional school building some day, if not in the near future, and that the superintendent had incidentally remarked, that we should accelerate this much needed improvement in the school facilities for our children. We should urge upon our people to pay their taxes and thus "render unto Ceasar the things which are Ceasan's, and unto God the things that are God's." Dr. Cooper and the committee received the hearty applause and compliment of the union, especially on the speech delivered by the secretary, introducing the committee to the superintendent. And after further complimentary remarks by Dr Weils and Dr. Cargile the report was adopted. Dr. Cooper also called attention to certain petition which is being circulated for endorsement, praying the city council to pass an ordinance to keep the women and children off the streets after 9 o'clock at night which seemed to have rekindled the smouldering sparks of patriotism and race pride which constitutes the better part of his manly proportion, for Jupiter at once mounted the rostrum on the mount of Olympia and thundered forth in the most caustic but eloquent denunciation of this cowardly attack on our defenseless women and children who are compelled to labor early and late for their livelihood, etc. Pres. R. R. Wright of the Georgia State College, was present and delivered quite an interesting address to the union which was listened to with marked attention and heartily applauded. "Sister" Skellinger, was introduced to the union by the chairman of committee on charity or traveling ministers and teachers. She was permitted to speak concerning her work as a missionary teacher in the southern section of the city, near the old bar racks, after which the subject matter of her address was referred to the advisory board for further consideration. The meeting adjourned with benediction by Rey Wells. E. Jonathan Nelson, secretary and ex officio reporter. PRIEST Rev. R. H. Singleton, the popular pastor of St. Philips Monumental Church.

Hicks Almanac Kev. TRIK Hicks Almanac To say that their splendid work of science and art is finer and better than ever, is stating it mildly. The demand for it is far beyond all previous years.

A fair test will prove this to any reasonable person. Added to that most luminous course in economy for 1903, these storms and winds were given, as never before, a day in the year, all charmily illustrated with nearly two hundred engravings.

Apply to Mr. Towne, proprietor, or A New Chairman Elected: The Republican Committee of the First Congressional District met in this city on Saturday pursuant to a call of the Secretary W. E. Moore, to take action made necessary by the death of Capt. L. M. Pleasaut. Some nineteen members responded in person and by proxy, and Col. J. H. Deveaux was unanimously elected chairman to fill the unexpired term caused by the death of its late honored chairman Capt. Pleasant. The committee adjourned subject to the call of the new chairman after adopting the following expression of its sentiments toward the deceased chairman and leader: "But two short months ago the late chairman of this committee Capt. L M. Pleasant sat in this room bright and cheerful planning for the welfare of the Republicans in the First Congressional District, and now he is at rest in his tomb in eternal, sleep. The political life of Captain Pleasant was a most strenuous one indeed. For thirty four years he has been most actively engaged in every campaign where the principles of the Republican party were to be declared and its leaders and their actions defended. Whether in the position of chairman of the committee, or a member of the committee or simple member of the party he never faltered or hesitated, but did his duty as laid out for him and as he understood it. In the discharge of any trust as a leader or worker he was always active, energetic, firm and faithful and the party could always feel that its interests were always safe in all its details when they were in the watchful care of the ever alert L. M. Pleasant. For a third of a century he has been known not only in the First district but throughout the southern part of Georgia by the rank and file of his party, and by the leaders from all parts of Georgia who have met him in the State conventions where he assisted to lay out plans for the welfare of our party and the upbuilding of its principles, and by all of them he was held in the highest esteem. "It is fitting that the good record and usefulness of such a good and true man should be perpetuated. It is therefore: "Resolved, by this committee representing the Republicans of the District that in the death of Capt. Lewis M. Pleasant the party has lost a valiant and loyal champion, whose honorable political record should be a standard to be emulated by all men of our party. "That while bowing in humble submission to the Divine will, we can but express the words that a man has been taken from us whose place will be hard to fill. And that our sincere sympathy is hereby extended to the bereaved family of the deceased." A Growing Institution. A Growing Institution.

On the first of January, along with its other business, a savings department will be inaugurated. It will be under such auspices that will cause it to be even as successful as the other department. The directors have been appearing at the various churches and informing the people of the intentions of the company and urging them to subscribe to the stock and make deposits when the savings department opens. The other churches not visited will be, and full information given to everybody. The directors of the company, are each one men of affairs and conversant with the management of finance, and are laboring to give the colored people of Savannah an institution that all will have.need to be proud of.

Upon the fly leaf of one of the Bibles the Emperor has written in his own handwriting a text. This honored pastor, in a recent letter to the Peruna Medicine Co., of Columbus, Ohio, says concerning their famous catarrhremedy, Peruna: The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, Ohio. Gentlemen: "If had hemorrhages of the lungs for a long time, and all despatched of me, I took Peruna and was cured. It gaves me strength and courage, and made healthy, pure blood. It increased my weight, gave me a healthy color, and I feel well. It is the best medicine in the world. If everyone kept Peruna in the house it would save many from death every year."—H. STUENENVOLL. Thousands of people have catarrh who would be surprised to know it, because it has been called some other name than catarrh. The fact is catarrh is catarrh wherever located, and another fact which is of equally great importance is that Peruna cures catarrh wherever located.

Football players must suppress their exuberant spirits while in the Union depot, as the giving of college or school yells will not be tolerated there. This notice was served on the team of the Central High School and a group of their sympathizers. The Kansas City boys had been to Topeka for a game and, returning defecated, bruised and lame, but not disgraced, they gathered in the centre of the waiting room to give one last yell before separating, to show that their spirits were not broken, even if some of their bones did appear to be. They had gotten no further than their second "Rick-a-chick-a-boom" before Depot Master Carns was in the centre of the group and commanded silence. "You'll have to cut that out," said "You'll have to cut that out," said the depot master. "We'll do all the yelling that is to be done here." "I guess they're afraid the boys will jar down some more plastering," said a man in the crowd, which was smiling indulgently at the exhibition of boyish enthusiasm—Kansas City Journal.

There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tubes. This is the third stage of the amplifying sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surface. One case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS Cleansing Stains: To remove pitch_and tar stains rub lard on the stain and let it stand for a few hours. Sponge with spirits of turpentine until the-stain is removed. If the color of the fabric should be changed, sponge it with chloroform and the color will be restored. A Useful Bench. One of the most useful contrivances the home tinker can make is a little bench about a foot wide and three feet long, supported on end pieces about ten inches high. It will be found the greatest comfort when placed across the lap of a sick person in bed to rest the tray of dishes upon, taking the weight from the limbs, so that one may move without upsetting the food. Paint it red, so that it will contrast cheerfully with the napery and china. Nothing that requires so little work and trouble as this is could give the satisfaction it does when in use. Make one and see for yourself. Mistakes in Framing. The commonest mistakes in framing pictures are in choosing frames of too ornate a character, too narrow margins or mats of the wrong color. Green is in high favor for picture frames just now, and two other very new ideas are exceedingly desirable. One is a soft silver gray or forest green frame with the corners rounded off in Japanese fashion. The second is of rosewood of a rich old mahogany tone and has "cabinet" joined instead of mitered corners. Veneered frames, really a mat of wood, made from one piece of wood, with the opening cut in the centre for the picture are very popular. Family Poison Book. It would be an excellent idea for every family to have a little book giving briefly prompt antidotes for various poisons," said a prominent New York doctor. "Physicians know that there are scores of cases of accidental poisoning never heard of outside of the family concerned. I've had several cases of poisoning by an accidental dose of the chloroform and aconite liniment that almost every one keeps, and one woman gave her child muratic acid that was kept for cleaning, the marbles. "Prompt action is the great thing in cases of poisoning. By the time one can get help from a doctor or drugstiff it is often too late to save the patient. A few antidotes for the common poisons would be easy to learn. Still, if there was such a book I suppose most persons would be too much excited to use it in time of emergency." —New York, Times. A Cosey Chimney Corner. A charmingly designed chimney corner has a flight of grdy black swallows above the mantel, the tiny faraway ones reaching in a graceful curve several yards to the left almost as high as the ceiling. These are painted in water colors, cut out separately and arranged on the wall, which is a warm pinkish terra cott in color. On the rough stones immediately above the fireplace is engraved the legend in which Oliver Wendell Holmes delighted, to the effect that there is no earthly happiness like "four feet on a fender." Little "three cornered" cupboards at either side increase the apparent width of the chimney place, and below these there are low burlap covered seats fitted in. A pot of English ivy fills one end of the mantel (which is not draped). The longer growths of this are trained up on the wall, and the shorter sprays fall over the mantel. In the low window seat at the opposite side, a great fern reaches its yard long fronds to the floor, and a little gray green rag carpet rug is laid before the little brass knobbed fender, and one slender, long stemmed vase of fridescent glass near the centre of the mantel completes the furnishing of the corner.—New York Tribune. HOUSEHOLD RECIPES Potato and Egg Scallop—Cut four medium sized potatoes and four hard boiled eggs in rather thin slices; put a layer of potatoes in a baking dish, sprinkle with salt and pepper; then put over a layer of egg; continue with alternate layers until all are used; pour over a thin white sauce; spread over buttered crumbs and brown in a quick oven; the potatoes should be cold boiled. Peach Cake—Mix together one pint of flour, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, half a teaspoonful of salt and one gill of sugar. Rub through a sieve and add a gill and a half of milk, one well-beaten egg and three tablespoonfuls of melted butter. Spread this in a well buttered shallow cake pan and cover with peaches pared and cut in halves. Sprinkle with three tablespoonfuls of sugar, and bake for half an hour in a moderate oven. Serve hot with cream and sugar. Green Tomatoes Stewed — Pare six large, green tomatoes; peel three medium-sized onions. Put a tablespoonful of butter or drippings into an agate frying pan and when hot slice in the onions and let them fry without browning for five minutes; sprinkle in a teaspoonful of salt and quarter of a teaspoonful of pepper; stir about for a few minutes, then slice in the tomatoes and add half a cup of hot water. Cover and let simmer until tomatoes are tender; add a larger tablespoonful of butter and pour. Tired Nervous Mothers A nervous, irritable mother, often on the verge of hysterics, is unfit to care for children; it ruins a child's disposition and reacts upon herself. The trouble between children and their mothers too often is due to the fact that the mother has some female weakness, and she is entirely unfit to bear the strain upon her nerves that governing a child involves; it is impossible for her to do anything calmly. She cannot help it, as her condition is due to suffering and shattered nerves caused by some derangement of the uterine system with backache, headache, and all kinds of pain, and she is on the verge of nervous prostration. When a mother finds that she cannot be calm and quiet with her children, she may be sure that her condition needs attention, and she cannot do better than to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. This medicine will build up her system, strengthen her nerves, and enable her to calmly handle a disobedient child without a scene. The children will soon realize the difference, and seeing their mother quiet, will themselves become quiet. Mrs. May Brown, of Chicago, Ill., says: How Mrs. Pinkham Helped Mrs. McKinny. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM: — I feel it my duty to write and let you know the good you and your Vegetable Compound are doing. I had been sick ever since my first baby was born, and at the birth of my second, my doctor, as well as myself thought I should never live through it. After that menstruation never came regular, and when it came I suffered terribly. I also had womb and ovarian trouble. A friend of my husband's advised him to get Lydia E. Pinkhun's Vegetable Compound for me. At first I had no faith in it, but now nothing could induce me to be without it. Menstruation has become regular, and I feel like a new woman. Your medicine is a God-send to suffering women. I hope this letter will lead others to try Lydia E. Pinkhun's Vegetable Compound. Yours truly, Mrs. MILDBRED McKINNY, 28 Pearl St, San Francisco, Cal."

For twenty years I had been a sufferer from bronchial troubles accompanied with a hacking cough. I at times suffered from extreme nervous prostration. About four years ago I began taking Ripans Tabules, and since then I have used them pretty constantly. I rarely retire at night without taking my Tabule, and I find they keep my digestive organs (which naturally are weak) in good order, and they also allay any tendency to nervousness and make me sleep.
