Beacon Lights FOR NEGROES Negro Ticket Agent Up in western South Carolina on the C. & W. C. R. R, the regular ticket agent at one of the offices is a colored man. There is one also in one of the ticket offices in Cambridge, Mass. Verly it would be hard to find any place that a Negro is not in it. . . . . Mr. Rogers, the only colored member of the Georgia legislature, has stirred up his constituents by voting for Ion. A. S. Clay for United States senator when the other republicans were voting for Col. W. H. Johnson. At a mass meeting held in Darlen recently, resoutions strongly disapproving his coarse were adopted.—Ga. Baptist. --- Be Your Own Boss In every state where the Negroes are depending upon themselves to erect, equip and maintain their educational enterprises, there is manifest evidence of prosperity. Their contributions are increasing yearly. Wherever they are depending largely upon the white people to carry them, there is little money raised, and quarrelling and disintegration seem to be the inevitable.—National Baptist Union. Attention is called to the fact that Mr. Charles Redding, one of the few surviving members of the crew of the U. S. S. Kearsargue in the action with the Alabama, off Cherbourg, France, 1864, died the other day at the Massachusetts General hospital, aged 75. As a comrade of the G. A. R., a veteran fireman and as janitor for a quarter of a century of the large Washington street business block wherein is situated the Bryant & Stratton Commercial school, he was one of the best known Negro citizens of Boston, his native city. As the fight between the Alabama and Kearsargue was one of the most memorable in history, the name of the deceased cannot but grow in lustre with the coming years. Eternal honor to the man who fought for the glory of his county.—Exchange. --- Queer South. Down in Virginia last week an Afro-American was satisfiedly occupying a seat in a Jim Crow car when the conductor came along and mistaking him for a white man, ordeed him to go into the white coach. He refused. The train was stopped and he was bounced out and left by the roadside. Now the Afro-American has sued the railroad company for $10,000 damages to his feelings and other things. Queer South, isn't it?—Exchange. --- Old Veteran. Holt-Collier, the veteran bear hunter who, was guide for President Roosevelt in his recent Mississippi hunt, is said to have been the only Negro regularly enlisted in the Confederate army, Perhaps. It is not any distinction which any Negro can afford to crow over. We, however, know several Afro-American colored people who served regularly in the Confederate army and navy; but they are not shouting the fact from the houseets.—Age. Keeping the Fight Up. The Suffrage Association of Alabama is doing yeoman service in behalf of the Negro of Alabama. Their attorney, Wilford H. Smith of New York, has succeeded in getting one of his cases to the Supreme Court at Washington. These battles must be fought out in the courts but it takes money to do it. Alabamians are responding encouragingly, but when last heard from Birmingham and Selma were still slumbering. Wake up! Mobile and Montgomery are making a very creditable showing—Mobile Church Obesver. --- Lest We Forget. Mr. W. H. Lewis, the noted football coach, of the Harvard eleven, and member of the legislature of the state of Massachusetts at present, was defended for re election in the recent contest. Mr. Lewis represents the cultured district of Cambridge,the district in which Harvard is located. He was beaten by a little less than three hundred votes—but he is beaten. Mr. Lewis took more interest in public questions and probably stood higher than any recent Afro-American member of that body. And it is agreed that the race loses a very bright representative. Mr. Lewis made an enviable reputation in his one year, but standing out against this record is the black ugly fact that Mr. Lewis defeated a bill looking to the erection of a statue to Benjamin Butler. Mr. Lewis with all of his brilliency, will never be able to explain this cancerous break away. He is a real young man, and SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. DECEMBER 13. 1902. when he goes back to the legislature as we wish he will do, he can redeem himself with the Afro-American people if he will make an effort to erect some substantial tablet in honor of a man who never faltered in his devotion to the people, with whom Mr. Lewis is identified.—Washington Letter in Charleston (W. Va.) Advocate. Tom Watson and the Negro. Tom Watson and the Negro. In a recent lecture in Savannah Mr. Watson, in his remarks on the Negro spoke with such levity of which we did not think him capable. He was not fair to the North and he appealed strongly to the sectionalism of the South. It is time for this old feeling to be dead and buried. He was not just to our people. The class of people that he eat before his audience do not represent but a small and decreasing part of our race. The grinning, hat in hand, monkey Negro is a product of past environments of which Mr. Watson should not be proud. The class of Negroes he speaks of have never and will never represent our people. The new Negro is simply human with human attributes. We thought better of Mr. Watson. We did not think he would speak so but, alas! who is just to the Negro? --- Farmers' Congress Among Students. Last week the students of the Georgia State Industrial college held a "farmers'" conference preparatory to the annual conference which is held in February. Students from fifty-two counties were present and many interesting facts were brought out. On a poll of the students it was found that fifty-four were owners of real estate of which number (17) seventeen, had secured it through their own labor and one of these was a young woman. This speaks volumes for the young Negro. He is making his own way free from any one's help. There are fifty students taking the course in farming at the Georgia State Industrial college. --- Negroes Protest Against Grice Bill. A delegation of Negroes, appeared before the special committee on judiciary Tuesday afternoon to protest against the passage of the bill by Mr. Grice, of Pulaski, which seeks to separate the school tax of the state of Georgia. The delegation included W. E. DuBois and G. A. Towns, of the Atlanta university; Prof. John Hope, of the Atlanta Baptist college; Rev. H. H. Proctor and Smith W. Easley, Jr. Dr. DuBois acted as spokesman, after which members of the judiciary committee asked many questions of the colored delegation regarding their race—Atlanta Journal. --- Still In It. Major Taylor, the crack bike rider, has decided to continue racing, and has accepted the offer of the Canadian Motor and Cycle Co., which calls for his appearance in Australia not later than the middle of December, that he may be ready to take the track January 1, 1903. The major made his preparations all within a few hours, and was off to Indianapolis, accompanied by his wife. They will stop there only long enough to bid good bye to the major's parents, as they must embark Thanksgiving day on the steamer Ventura, which leaves San Francisco for the far east, by way of China and Japan. It was at first supposed that he would take his trainer, Mr. Bert Hazard, but the agreement provides $2,000 for the trip, together with a trainer. He gets besides the amount of his winnings. He will ride in the east until next spring when he expects to come back to Paris in time for the races there. He returns to this country about October or November of next year.—Exchange. --- The Social Equality Scarecrow: The Social Equity Correction Of course, a Negro postmaster or collector in a northern city is seldom found; there is splendid reason for there being none, when it is consid- ered that there are so many more des- irable places which they can and do secure. Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, all of them, and more besides, have Negroes in municipal, state and federal offices, high and low, working by the side of white men, and never a hint at social questions. No one will doubt but that even in this section where tradition slopes more policy than common sense, the cries of social equality and Negro rule are simply scarecrows. The one has no existence among any people; the other is impossible.—Georgia Baptist. CATTLE QUARANTINE COSTLY. Distemper In New England May Necessitate Spending a Million. Something like 75 herds of cattle, aggregating about 1,500 animals, are now under quarantine in Massachusetts. Many others in Vermont and Rhode Island are likewise under official care. It is estimated that the national government may have to spend $1,000,000 before the distemper is eradicated. A COUP BY CASTRO All British and German Subjects in Caracas Arrested. VENEZUELA STRIKES A BLOW That Ulitmatum is Delayed—Chief Executive Says Little Republic's Integrity Will be Upheld at Any Cost. A dispatch from Caracas, Venezuela, dated December 9, says: "The combined British and German fleet today (Tuesday) seized the Venezuelan fleet, composed of four warships, in the harbor of La Guayra. It is reported also that an ultimatum will be delivered tomorrow (Wednesday) asking for an answer and a compliance with the demand of the British and German ministers. All Germans and British subjects in Caracas have been arrested. President Castro received the correspondent of the Association Press at Miraflores palace Tuesday. In reply to questions the president of Venezuela gald: "The Venezuelan government has not received any ultimatum properly speaking, but rather simultaneous requests from Great Britain and Germany. The claims they ask this government to settle are small and up to the present time we have not been aware of them. Never having been presented, Venezuela has consequently never refused to settle them. Great Britain's action, therefore, is without justification. "The Venezuelan government cannot decide on foreign claims before the revolution has been entirely crushed." What Castro Will Do. "What do you intend to do in view of the present attitude of the powers?" was asked. "Enforce our rights," replied President Castro, "and explain to the world that Venezuela has laws and that we have never denied our engagements." The president was asked what reply the Venezuelan government would make to the requests handed it by the German and British envoys. To this request he replied: "The Venezuelan government is astonished that after the notes which were transmitted to it by the diplomatic representative of Germany and Great Britain these envoys should leave Caracas without awaiting the reply of the Venezuelan government." Regarding what he intended to do should the powers declare a blockade, the president declined to answer. No ultimatum had been delivered to the Venezuelan government up to 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Should Venezuela refer or fall to reply to the notes of Great Britain and Germany, it is believed an ultimatum will then be delivered. The British-German Side. There are comparatively few white British subjects in Caracas, probably less than fifty. The Caracas and La Guayra railroad is a British concern and its general manager and other high officials are Englishmen. There are a large number of natives of the British West Indian islands in Venezuela, especially in Caracas. They are negroes with few exceptions. A census of 1894 gives 6,154 British subjects in Venezuela. This number includes a great many of the islanders, as well as the British population in the territory awarded to Great Britain. The Germans in Caracas are much more numerous. They are found at the head of important commercial houses and banking institutions. The railroad from Caracas to Valencia is a German concern. The census of 1894 placed the number of Germans in Venezuela at 962. Reduce Pay of Strike Arbitrators: Senator Berry has introduced an amendment to the Anthracite Coal Strike Commission bill, limiting the compensation of members of the commission to $4,000 per year and their expenses to $10 per day. CUBAN KIDS MISSING. Railway Officials Temporarily Lose Track of Them. The eleven Cuban children who landed in New York city several weeks ago and narrowly escaped the clutches of the Guerrys society are temporarily lost. They were due in Chicago Monday night en route to the Universal Brotherhood school, at Point Loma, Cal., where they are to receive training. The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy railroad made provision to transport the little "letus hude" from Chicago to their destination. CASTRO MUST YIELD Or Belicose Bill Collectors Will Use Force at Once. FINAL ULTIMATUM IS SENT England and Germany Make a Last Call on Little Venezuela for Bettlement of Debts—War. ships Hover Near. A London dispatch says: Premier Balfour announced in the house of commons Monday that an ultimatum had been sent to Venezuela and that in the event of a satisfactory reply not having been received the British and German governments would take measures to enforce their claims against that country. Mr. Balfour when questioned on the Venezuelan situation by the liberal leader, Sir Henry Campbell-Banner man said: "For the past two years we have had grave cause for complaint on various occasions of unjustifiable interference by the Venezuelan government with the liberty and property of her subjects. No palms have been spared by the British government to obtain an amicable settlement of these questions, but in none of them have satisfactory explanations been forthcoming. "Latterly the representations of the British minister have been practically unnoticed. There are also causes on which British subjects and companies have large claims. We have been acting in conjunction with the German government, which also has large claims against Venezuela. "A final communication has been made to the Venezuelan government by our minister and the German charge d'affaires. If no satisfactory reply is received the governments have decided to take such measures as are necessary to enforce their claims." Replying to a supplementary question, Mr. Balfour said he understood the communication to Venezuela was neither joint nor identical. A special from Berlin is to the effect that the German-British ultimatum to Venezuela was presented at 3 o'clock Sunday in Caracas. Legations Closed. A special from Caracas, Venezuela, says: The British minister, H. W. D. Haggard, and the German charge d'afaires, Von Pilgrim-Baltazzi, left Caracas at 3 o'clock Monday afternoon for La Guagra, where Minister Haggard went on board the British cruiser Retribution, and Herr Von Pilgrim-Baltazzi boarded the German cruiser Vineta. Both the British and the German legations have been closed. LEGISLATORS WRANGLE. War of Words Between Speaker and Member of Georgia House. A war of words, which came near precipitating a difficulty between Speaker Morris and S. R. Fields, of Dooly county, occurred in the Georgia house of representatives Monday morning, when Mr. Fields asked how some members of the house secured recognition from the speaker and others failed. Mr. Morris said that such things had been intimated before; that while in the chair he could make no reply to such insinuations, but that he hoped the gentleman from Dooly would make such charges when he was out of the chair. Mr. Fields stated that he would be entirely pleased to do so, and a personal difficulty was expected, but Mr. Fields, at the instance of mutual friends, rose before the house adjourned and apologized for his remarks, which apologies were accepted by Mr. Morris. Quay on Statehood Bill. After some routine business in the senate Monday, Mr. Quay, of Pennsylvania, sent to the desk and had read the resolutions adopted by the Indian Territory executive committee on territorial legislation in opposition to statehood bill, combining Oklahoma and Indian Territory. SOUTH GEORGIA CONFERENCE Comes to an End at Thomasville to Meet in Sandersville Next Year. The South Georgia Conference adjourned at Thomasville Monday night to meet next year at Sandersville. At the closing session Bishop Candler read out the appointments. Delegation to Urge Statehood. the chairman of the republican and democratic parties of New Mexico will appoint a large and influential non-partisan delegation to visit Washington and work for the passage of the omnibus statehood bill SIX DEAD. AND SCORE INJURED Canadian Pacific Express Train Plunges Down an Embankment, Causing Frightful Wreck. The worst train wreck in the history of) the Inter-Colonial, the Canadian government railway, happened at noon Sunday at Belmont Station, 70 miles from Hallifax, Nova Scotia, when the Canadian Pacific express for Montreal rolled down an embankment, killing at least six persons, injuring a score of others, and completely wrecking the locomotive, the postal, express and baggage cars, and several passenger coaches. The train, which was a Canadian Pacific express, left Halifax at 8:45 for Montreal, to connect at Adam Junction with the Maine Central railroad for Bangor and Boston. A number of the passengers were destined for American points. The accident occurred at 1 o'clock and was caused by the pilot becoming loose and falling in front of the engine, which was thrown from the rails. The train plowed ahead for fifty feet and then turned over and rolled down an embankment. The engine was completely wrecked and the cars next in the make up were telescoped by those in the rear. Engineer Trider was killed at his post, the only member of the train crew to lose his life. The colonist car ran under the baggage.car and the top.was cut off the full length down to the windows. Every passenger in this car was either killed or injured. To add to the suffering of the injured, the weather was bitterly cold and it was hours before help arrived. THOMAS, NAST DIES AT POST. Yellow Fever at Ecuador. Consul General Thomas Nast died at Guayaquil, Ecuador, Sunday at noon, after a three days' illness from yellow fever. He was interred at 5 o'clock Sunday afternoon. The funeral was attended by the governor, the consular corps, the Americon colony and by many friends. The coffin was wrapped in the Stars and Stripes. The British consul recited a prayer in the cemetery. The death of Mr. Nast is deeply lamented by the natives, who held him in high esteem. Thomas Nast, the "Father of American Caricature," who was appointed consul at Guayaquil in May of this year, was the son of a musician and was born at Landau, Bavaria, September 25, 1849. When he was six years of age the family came to this country and settled in New York. At an early age young Nast displayed great aptitude for art, and finally acquired an international reputation as a caricaturist. Many of Nast's creations are securely established in American politics. Chief of these are the republican elephant, the Tammany tiger and the democratic donkey. BOSTON NEGROES COMPLAIN. Inaugurate Move Toward Separate Schools for Thai Children Schools for their Children. It has just been proposed in Boston, Mass., in all seriousness to establish a separate public school for negro children. Strange as it may seem, this project started with the negroes themselves, and it has met with much favor by the whites who have children attending the public schools. The rapid increase in the negro population has resulted in two large negro colonies, one in the west end and the other in the south end. The negroes desire separate schools because in the colored districts many white children attend schools where negro children are pupils. The negro children say that they are treated as inferiors by the white children, hence the desire of the parents of the negroes to have schools where their children shall have no social or racial superiors. Knitting Mills Burned. The Williams knitting mills, one of the largest in western North Carolina, were destroyed by fire Saturday morning. There was little insurance and the loss falls heavily on the stockholders. --- Remains. Go to Portland. The remains of Hon. Thomas B. Reed left' Washington Sunday afternoon for Portland, Me., his former home, where the interment will take place. They were accompanied by Mrs. Reed, the widow; Miss Catherine Reed, the former speaker's daughter, and a few close friends. At Mrs. Reed's request, there were no ceremonies of any kind in Washington. Martha Washington Stamps. The postoffice department Saturday began to issue the stamps bearing the Martha Washington portrait. These stamps will replace the present 8 cent stamps. Ex-Speaker of House of Representatives Crosses Dark River. His Notable Career as Speaker Gained for Him the Brulquet of "Czar." Thomas Bruckett Reed, former speaker of the house of representatives, and for many years prominent in public life, died in Washington Sunday morning at 12:10 o'clock, in his apartments in the Arlington hotel. The immediate cause of death was uraemia. It was stated that Mr. Reed had been suffering from Bright's disease for some time. Mr. Read was in Washington to attend some matters in the United States supreme court. He was at the capitol on Monday, December 1st, visiting with friends and former associates in congress and witnessed the convening of the fifty-seventh congress. Apparently he was enjoying good health, but later in the day he called a physician and complained of illness. He grew worse as the week advanced, and the end came peacefully. Sketch of His Life. Thomas, Brackett Reed, thirty-first speaker of the house of representatives, was born October 18, 1833, in Portland, Me., in the common schools of which city he received his early education. In 1860 he was graduated from Bowden, winning one of the highest honors of the college, the prize for excellence in English composition. The next four years were spent by Mr. Reed in teaching and in the study of law. Before his admission to the bar, however, he was appointed acting assistant paymaster of the United States navy, serving on the "fin-clad" Sybil, which patrolled uneventfully on the Tennessee, Cumberland and, Mississippi rivers. After his discharge in 1865 Mr. Reed returned to Portland, passed the bar, and entered on, the practice of his profession. Three years later he was elected as a republican in the legislature of the state of Maine. In 1869 he was re-elected to the house, and in 1870 made state senator, from which position he passed to that of attorney general of the state the same year. In September, 1876, he was elected to the forty-fifth congress of the United States, Mr. Reed was elected to congress continuously until he finally declined re-election. In the forty-sixth congress his skill as a debater was recognized, and at this period he made also a set speech in defense of the presence of United States marshals at elections in the south. His influence finally becoming more strongly marked, the leadership of his party was finally conceded to him, and in the forty-ninth and fiftieth congresses the complimentary nomination to the speakership was tendered him by the republicans. In the fifty-first, that party having attained the ascendancy, he was elected speaker, on the first ballot. In the first days of his administration of the office much opposition was made by the minority to the enforcement of what Mr. Reed believed his constitutional power to count members present in the house as to participating in a vote despite their refusal to use their privilege. The question of silence constitutitif legal absence and the destruction thereby of a legal quorum was, how- ever, set at rest by the adoption of new, rules by the house February 14, 1890. In September of the same year Mr. Reed was re-elected to the fifty-second congress by a large majority. While Mr. Reed was serving his first term as speaker he figured in some of the stormiest scenes ever enacted in congress, the democrats, under the leadership of the late Charles F. Crisp, of Georgia, fighting the enfor- mentation of the Reed rules at every stage. It was during this sage that Mr. Reed was given the soubriquet of "czar." VORWAERTG REMAINS FARM. Berlin Paper Insists that its Charge According to a Berkshire district Vorwaerts, the newspaper, which some weeks ago attacked the character of the late Herr Krupp, stating that he was guilty of immoral successes on his frequent visits to the island of Capril, has sent lawyers to Naples to obtain necessary evidence to fully substantiate the charges. The paper asserts that the writers will produce plenty of evidence to prove that the acquittal Herr Krupp were correct. SUBSCRIPTION RATES.

HAVE you paid your poll tax? The books will soon be closed. The increase in the number of substantial colored men in business is what we are praying for. Many are the golden opportunities that our young people are allowing to pass by without grasping. The idle class of our boys and girls reflect no credit on us. They soon become vicious and a blot upon the race. THE fires of ambition should be found in the hearts of each black boy, and the girls should be especially taught love of race and the extreme value of being chaste. IF we had about twenty-five substantial colored men doing business in this community the effect for the good of the race would be great. There is no reason why we can not have them. WHEN Senator Jeter C. Pritchard's term expires in March the colored citizens will shed no tears. He secured his position by their suffrage and now he is their worst enemy. Base ingratitude. GREAT efforts are being made to defeat the appointment of Postmaster Vick of Wilson, N.C. He has given a good administration of his office, but the lily whites and democrats are against him. THE registration books for the city election will soon be closed. It behooves those colored citizens who have not registered to go at once and do so. They should always be in a position to vote on all questions. SOME of our citizens ins one of the counties of the state are complaining about not being recognized as jurors. In this county affairs are a little better. On each panel, except the grand jury, colored men are selected. THE founder of the Jenkins Orphanage, Rev. D. J. Jenkins, has issued an appeal for the orphanage. It is located at Charleston, and has done much good for the unfortunate ones. It is a worthy institution and should be liberally supported. THE Washington Star has given the southern Democrats a whack for their officiousness in appointments to federal positions. During a Democratic administration the Republicans do not act that way. These Democrats are trying to run both parties. It has been recently noted that the colored laborers are being one by one eliminated from the city works. It was a common sight to see many of them engaged in street works, etc, but now there are-but a few thus engaged. The cause, of this is somewhere and it should not be allowed to continue. Some of our contemporaries are complaining that the President said nothing about the Negro in his message. What rot! Why should the President single out the Negro as a class in his message? Are we not all American citizens? Only a week before the reading of the message, the President gave his version on the Negro. Is not that sufficient? In Boston a faction of our people are endeavoring to secure separate schools for the races. If the whites had started the movement they would have no doubt been a howl from them. In Savaunah we would be satisfied with any kind of school if we could have the nearly four thousand colored children who are without school facilities accommodation. The colored citizens of New Jersey are up in arms because the appointment of Editor T. Thomas Fortune as special commissioner is credited to that state, when it is said, he has only recently become a citizen thereof. Matters not what objection is raised the question of Mr. Fortune's fitness for the place is settled. He will reflect credit on the race. The President, with every reason, denies the stupid old cry of Negro domination. He knows, as every other intelligent man does that the Negro will never dominate any section of the country, and that to withhold from the worthy of the most encouraging recognition of their advancement would be to commit an act of shortsightedness and insultation. Willing as some Republican are to commit that act, he rejoices Washington Star: EACH year we have hundreds of young boys and girls graduating from the several institutions of learning. After they are out the thoughts of the parents are taxed as to what they should do. At present the openings to them are few unless they become "hewers of wood and drawers of water." We have nothing to say against them being thus if it is the best thing that they can secure, because there is no disgrace whatever in labor; but should not these parents, especially those with means, assist the present enterprises that are among us and encourage the establishment of others? Do this parents, and there will be no further need of passing sleepless nights thinking of the future of your boy or your girl, for in these enterprises they will find employment, and especially if they are trained accordingly. For the past several weeks the directors of the Wage Earners Loan and Investment Company have been visiting the several churches and explaining the workings of the company and at the same time showing the great benefit that will accrue if our people would only co-operate in their savings and unite in supporting enterprises of the race. Such talks are of untold good. The results may not be seen at once but will manifest itself in the future. While the words of these young men may fall upon ears that are deaf, yet there are many others that are touched and will act in a manner that will benefit themselves and the enterprise too. It is heartrending to visit the city court or recorder's court during the week and note the large number of young people that are accused of various crimes. It makes one wonder and think what will become of our young people, this class especially. As was truthfully stated by Dr. Durham in his sermon on Sunday night last, that a race is judged by the masses and not by the individuals, and thus are we being judged. The mass of our people need encouragement along the proper lines and faithful missionary work must be done with them. SOME monthe ago the law officers of North Carolina attempted to secure a requisition for Monroe Rogers who was accused of arson. The colored citizens of Boston fought the granting of the requisition vigorously and would have succeeded if it was not for the duplicity of one of the baliffs of the court who is now charged with the offense. The North Carolina authorities succeeded in securing the custody of Rogers. He has since been tried and sentenced to the penitentiary for ten years. It is said that the evidence against him was flimsy. ON these cold mornings as early as five o'clock when everything is still and darkness is at its zenith, there can be seen our aithful and hardworking women wending their way to their service places where they receive but a small return for the great service they render. In the same manner are a. number of our small girls and boys employed. If we had more business enterprises many of these boys and girls would be able to secure better employment. THE development of the body as well as the mind is finding favor among many, especially the more thoughtful class. In the homes of those who can afford it, can be found implements for this development, and many who cannot afford to have them t home are connected with institutions that have a complete gymnasium. Without a robust body the intellect will only be normal, and to this development much attention should be paid. THE officers of the First Battalion, Infantry, Georgia State Troops, Colored, stationed here, are sanguine of Republican success in the coming presidential campaign, so much so that they are already planning to carry each company of the Battalion to the inauguration of the President. From outlooks these officers' expectation will be realized and the hope is expressed that they will be able to consummate their ideas. Second Baptist Church. Second Baptist Church. Services were well attended all day last Sunday. At 11 a. m., the pastor Dr. Durham preached a very strong and inspiring sermon from Judges 7:7. subject "No cowards wanted in the Lord's Army." At 8 p. m., it having been previously announced that the pastor would deliver a special discourse touching the moral, material and political conditions of his race, the audience was unusually large. The doctor took for a text Judges 6:13. After stating that the children of Israel had been enjoying a period of liberty and great prosperity for forty years but because of their disobedience sins and backsliding they were now in a most deplorable condition morally, materially and practically, and under the cruel and oppressive domination of their neighbors the Midianites. He proceeded in a masterly and fearless manner to review the moral, material and po- litical conditions of his race in this country and draw many striking and impressive comparisons between the conditions of the Negro in this country at present under the domination of this white neighbors and that of the Irasalites under the effe neighbors, the Midianites. In dealing with the moral condition of his people, the Doctor did not mince things, giving honors and credit where due, and censure and reproof where deserved. He rejoiced in the fact that many individuals of the race had done well, but regretted to say that the great mass of the race was in a most deplorable condition, morally and materially, and recited many instances to prove his statement, materially speaking, he said, many have by industry and economy, secured for themselves comfortable homes, and some have accumulated considerable wealth but the masses are poor, destitute and poverty stricken and many of them in worse condition now, than years ago. Politically speaking, the doctor said, although nine or ten million in number and under the laws and constitution of the United States we are American citizens, and yet we have no voice in the government. The political rights that we once enjoyed are being taken away from us. Disfranchising constitutions are being adopted in nearly all the Southern States and no word of protest comes from the National Capitol. The few rights and privileges that remain to us, are becoming fewer and fewer. Each session of the State legislatures does but strengthen the shackles, draw the chains tighter and tighter and sink them deeper and deeper into the quivering flesh of the fettered helpless victims. In answer to the question contained in the text "Why has all this befallen us," the doctor, declared that the race after having been delivered by the omnipotent hand of God from bondage, had more in large measure forsaken and turned away from Him, done evil in His sight, neglected opportunities and like the Jews of old were now given over into the hands of their neighbors to suffer for their wrong doings. The doctor suggested as a remedy, that the race repent of its wrong doings, mend its ways, turn to God and be more faithful and wise in the use of the opportunities and privileges that they have. It is impossible to give here any thing like an adequate idea of the sermon, only those who hard it can have any proper conception of its scope, power and manner of delivery. To-morrow evening at 8 o'clock after a short sermon by the pastor on the "Business side of Religion," representatives of the Wage Earners Loan and Investment Company will make short addresses. What they will say will be of special interest to the race, and the public is cordially invited to be present. The Woman's Missionary Society is preparing to give its usual Christmas dinner for the poor in the basement on Friday Dec. 26th. St. Philip's Dots. Sunday was communion day. Rev Cargile preached at 11 a.m., hymn 336 "My Saviour my Almighty friend" was sung by the choir and congregation. Rev Cargile's text was 36 Psalm 1st verse. The vast audience listened to the discourse attentively and every person present was highly benefitted. An invitation was extended to any person who wanted to become a member by letter or otherwise and quite a number joined. At 3 p.m., the Holy Communion was held and the members were out very strong. At 8 p.m., the church was crowded to hear Rev Cargile before leaving for conference. Rev Cargile left for conference on Tuesday morning. The conference convened at Eastman Ga., on Wednesday morning. Rev Cargile closed the most successful year in the history of St. Philips. Speaking from a financial standpoint, St. Philips raised for the year from the various departments about $5300, St. Philips colors still fly. Don't forget the big bazzar at Harris street, hall beginning Jan. 26, 1903. All lodges, societies and military that want to participate, why send your application to A. W. White, Chairman or F. J.

Several persons who get from $5 to $15 per month, and wear $5 or $10 hats, live in rented houses, have treated me with silent contempt since I just wrote on this subject. I met a lady the other day on Bull street as handsomely dressed as a millionaire's daughter. She gave me a "piece of her mind." She said people have a right to spend their money as they please, and if they put all they make into their stomachs and upon their backs and pay house rent enough to purchase a half dozen homes, it is their affair. She even intimated that my own home had been obtained at a sacrifice of integrity and a total disregard of the principles of honesty. Of course that's not true. This is all I said: Mrs. Homer begged me not to write that article, and though my wife has made some bad advice, she was right that time. Of course I said this to myself as I went on home. The lady making these uncharitable remarks did not hear me. I told Mrs. Homer when I reached home and she said "It is just what I expected, its a wonder some one hasn't knocked the meddlesome head off long ago, and they'll do it yet." I wanted to ask Mrs. Homer what was the antecedent of "they," but I did not. Most people make mistake when they are excited and talk fast; not only do they make errors of speech and judgement, but they frequently pervert truth and justice. Never speak when angry or excited if avoidable, but keep quiet, think carefully, meditate deeply and save your money and purchase a home. Don't think altogether about the home beyond—you may miss that. Besides, one on earth will help you to live right, to live independently and thus help you get one above. Purse F Homer.

Past Master J. Logan of Atlanta, was a welcomed visitor to our city on Wednesday. He visited Hilton Lodge and gave the craftmen an encouraging talk. The Masons of Savannah are always glad to see Bro. Logan and listen to his words made up from much experience. Our symbolism is beautiful and expressive; but what is the value of symbolism if life is not in harmony with it? Ancestry, signs, degrees, symbols, these are not the fulfilling of the law. These remind us that here, in this life, the stones must all be squared and fitted for their place in the new Zion, and being living stones, must be built up into our Holy Temple.—Ex. As in religion, so there is in Masonry, much that will remain forever unchanged. This is not because Freemasons blindly adhere to ancient usage, but long experience and observation have taught them that what is based upon eternal truth and God given light admits of no change, and that, every attempt to deviate from the trodden path which leads to more light and greater truths inevitably result in failure and disaster.

To our dear departed friend, We this day in sorrow bend For thee, who dwells in yonder world, With its beautiful gates of pearl. We remember one year ago, When from this transient world below, Thou didst take thy happy flight To the beautiful realms of light. Oh, how we miss thee! Oh what pain! But our loss is Heaven's rich gain; And we hope some day to meet thee There with Jesus how happy we'll be. Sleep on, Dear Susie, and sweet be thy rest, Sleep the sweet slumber of the bleast; Till we on that beautiful shore Shall meet thee to part no more. Loving friends, S. L. YOUNG M. BURNS. IN MEMORY OF My Friend Chloc Floyd, Who departed this life Nov. 20th 1902, after a few hours' struggle against a malignant disease. A quiet and sudden taken off, had been her desire, and so God gave her, her wish. She had been for several years a consistent member of St. James A. M. E. church. A flower of the field cut down and withered in the midst of its sweetness. But she is gone from us and our hearts are bleeding, but we feel our loss is heaven's gain. While it is sad for her loved ones to give her up; it is sweet to think that she is at rest forever with the Lord. She will be missed from our circle; there is no one to fill her seat. Ah, weep no more thy loved one is at rest; Expel the sorrow from thy aching breast; Pray murmur not it is our Father's will; And He in love and mercy will keep thee still.

Box 185, Denver, Colo. Give the name of this paper when writing to advertisers.-(At. 50. '02) in St. Louis for a few days past visiting their son, V. Mott Porter, a well-known attorney and clubman, en route to their home from Colorado, where they spent the summer. While at a small mountain camp in the Rockies called Twin Lakes, about eighteen miles from Leadville, they had a wonderful escape from instant death. "Our friends tell us," said Mrs. Poster at the home of her son, "that when the chances against death were one in a thousand for us, we ought to feel predistined for some good in the world. We had spent a few days at Twin Lakes enjoying the splendid fishing, and, before starting home, decided to pay a visit to an old miner up in the mountains who had repeatedly urged the doctor to examine a gold claim he had. We inquired of the only livery man in Twin Lakes if he had a sure-footed horse, as the winding mountain road was a dangerous one, so narrow in places that two vehicles could not pass, and extending along the Edge of a precipitous canyon 200 feet deep. It was absolutely necessary to have a sure-footed animal, as a misstep on his part would throw us headlong over the precipice. "He assured us that he had, and sent over to the hotel next morning a single top buggy and lean, wiry-looking horse, whose only trouble, the owner said, was 'short wind.' "It was a beautiful, bright morning. As we began to ascend the mountain we noticed that the horse wheezed and panted, and I suggested that we drive slowly. So we stopped every now and then to rest him, then continued slowly on, thoroughly enjoying the invigorating mountain air. The great scraggy mountain sides to our left were covered with dwarf pines and vegetation of different kinds, while down the sides of the canyon were massive ledges of rock, huge boulders, as if thrown by giant hands. There were also mountain ferns, flowers and bushes springing from every crevice. Rising from the depths of the canyon were firs and pines, whose lean and lofty tops easily reached our level. "We were admiring the rugged wildness of everything when suddenly, and without an instant's warning, our horse shook violently from head to foot; staggered and fell dead over the edge of the cliff. Of course, the doctor and I were thrown in the air. I closed my eyes and said to myself, 'This is death!' Well, it seems almost too wonderful to be true, but Dr. Porter and I caught on a ledge of rock thirty-five feet down, and there we hung, the doctor some five feet away from me. When I opened my eyes and found I was still alive it seemed impossible to realize. I looked over and saw the doctor lying still, with blood streaming from a wound in his forehead. 'Oh, he's dead or else terribly injured,' I thought instantly, but he called to nie that it was only a scratch and no bones were broken. Below us the dead horse and the buggy, upside down, had landed in the branches of an immense pine growing out of the side of the cliff. "We lay there helpless until some time later, when a man came down the mountain. He heard our cries and went as quickly as he could to the nearest cabin for help. With assistance we were able to crawl up the slides of the caroon and were taken to a miner's cabin, where the only thing we could get was coffee; there was no such thing as arsenic or a lotion of any kind, and it was several days before we had proper care." "When the mining men heard that the liveryman had given us 'that loco horse' they were ready to lynch him, for it seems that every one of them knew the animal had what is called out there the 'loco,' or a disease brought on by eating the loco plant; it produces short breath, staggering, wheezing and finally fits, ending in death. We were the innocent victims of this man's carelessness, but as we escaped so miraculously without any very serious injuries we are too thankful to bear any malice against him, as possibly he did not realize the true condition of the horse."—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Boys Have a Lark in Balloon. Paul and Roy Knabenshue, young sons of S. S. Knabenshue, one of the editors of S. S. Knabenshue, are the lions of the city, and are thankful they are alive. At the fair grounds during the exhibition was a large captive balloon. During the day, when few people were about the place, the youngsters were attentively studying this balloon. They had neither of them any idea about a balloon, but they decided to turn the thing loose and take chances on a ride. They discussed the matter briefly, then threw off their surplus clothing, cut the guy ropes and jumped into the basket. Away the balloon soaked, higher and higher, until they got into an atmosphere that nearly froze them. Soon the top of the balloon was hidden in thick vapors and the boys were gasping for breath. Then the balloon began to drop with an alarming rapidity. Before leaving the earth, Roy Knabenshue, who, during the aerial trip, nected an navigator, and pulled the rope of the escape valve, rested it. The valve failed to close tightly and a consequent loss of gas resulted. Ionn slowly came down. The boys had traveled six miles. In forty-five minutes. A farmer's rlg was hired, the balloon was rolled up and brought to the city. Woman's Fight With Eagle. Mrs. Jackson, of Red Rock, Pa., is considered the greatest woman in all that section. For months the farmers about there have suffered from the incursions of a monster American or mountain eagle, which has summered among the hills and lived upon poultry. On Sunday, while Mrs. Jackson was alone in the house, the eagle, which has become a familiar object, was circling above the poultry yard. A little chanticleer, which was no match for its antagonist, had made a gallant fight. With one swift stroke the eagle placed the little bird hors de combat. Just then the avenger, Mrs. Jackson, appeared upon the scene, armed with a billet of wood. She struck at the eagle, which at once attacked her furiously with beak and talons, cutting a furrow in her face and tearing her dress. The woman retreated to the house, and, arming herself with a hatchet, returned to the yard and found the eagle preparing to fly away with the new dead rooster. Mrs. Jackson made a pass at the eagle, which now resumed the fight. With a quick, deft movement, she struck the bird full in the neck with the blade of the hatchet, and the battle royal was won. The eagle dled, its head being nearly severed, and its blood almost covering Mrs. Jackson, who woman-like, swooned. The farmers of the Red Rock section propose to present Mrs. Jackson with a handsome silk dress for her bravery and for her good work in ridding the neighborhood of the foraging eagle. Chicago Inter-Ocean. Buried Alive While Charmed by a Snake. Frank Saunders, a Whittier (Cal.) man, stood still in the face of impending death from the caving in of a bank, being unable to move on account of the spell which a huge rattlesnake had thrown around him, and he is now under the care of a physician at Anaheim, having been perhaps fatally injured by falling earth. The accident happened in Santiago Cenon, Cal, where Saunders and S. J. Adams, also of Whittier, had gone to inspect an outcropping of coal. As they were uncovering a ledge the earth above them began, to split, and an immense cave-in was impending. Adams called to Saunders to leap, and himself quickly scrambled down the mountain. He supposed Saunders was following, but on looking back saw him intently gazing at the ever widening crevice above. Adams was quick to detect the object of his companion's gaze—a big rattler—which held its head steadily directed toward Saunders. The next moment several tons of earth fell, burying the hymnolized man from sight. When Saunders was exhumed he was found to be badly injured. He stated that he was all the time aware of his danger, but could not free his gaze from that of the snake, and was powerless to move while the spell lasted. Adams killed the repile after he had dug Saunders from under the fallen earth.—San Francisco Chronicle. A Convict's Daring Act. Byron Murphy, a convict fireman, who made a desperate dash for liberty on the locomotive used in the prison at Folsom, Cal., has been recaptured and is once more in his cell. The escape of Murphy on a prison engine was most daring. Murphy was fireman, and Edward O'Brien, a citizen, was engineer of the prison train. Aldrich, a prisoner, served as brakeman. The locomotive was switching in the prison yards, and Murphy was in the cab alone, O'Brien having stepped down. Murphy, perceiving that the track was clear to the main line outside the prison walls, pulled the throttle wide open. In a second the machine bounded forward, leaving O'Brien behind. Aldrich, the brakeman, sought to prevent the escape of Murphy. He leaped to the pilot, ran along the running board, and tried to break into the cab. With an iron bar Murphy told him to desist, or he would brain him. There was a mad dash down the track for five miles. Then Murphy brought the locomotive to a standstill, alighted and bade Aldrich good-by. The latter ran the engine back to the prison. One Arm Hero. Dave Harrigan has only one arm, but he used it to excellent advantage when he rescued from drowning a woman named Maxwell. The latter would have perished had it not been for the prompt assistance rendered by Mr. Harrigan. When he saw Mrs. Maxwell in the water he jumped in without divesting himself of any of his clothing, caught the drowning woman and held her head out of the water until a rope was thrown to him from the thesteamer City of Ghant. It was an heroic act, performed by a man with one arm. Harrigan lost his arm in an accident, and he is now endowing to obtain sufficient funds to purchase an artificial limb. A man like Harrigan, who did not hesitate to leap into the harbor when he saw a fellow-being in distress and who has not means to defray the expenses of an artificial arm, deserves assistance.

Some fellows are content to work for a salary, while others work for a prise, It Was Called the "Delmonico" and Was Crudely Equipped. The first dining car was called the Delmonico, of course. It must have resembled our present beautiful dining cars but alightly. Built by the Pullman Company at its pioneer works in Chicago, it was put into service in 1866, and after a short but distinguished career descended to the position of boarding car for constructors along the line, but it did not come to this, of course, until great improvements had been made upon it in subsequent models. It was built in two sections, with a kitchen in the middle. One end was reserved for ladies, and here no smoking was allowed, but the other end was a buffet arrangement, and got itself nicknamed "the beer garden" before it had been in service many months. The floor of the car, was uncarpeted, and the seats were ordinary low-backed coach seats, upholstered in leather. The car was finished in walnut, but the ceiling was covered with oiled cloth. The provision supply store room and refrigerator were under the center of the car, and access could be had to them only by means of a little brass ladder suspended from the side of the car. It was rather a precarious adventure-for dining-car employees to make a visit to the larder while the train was in motion, inasmuch as there were a great many covered bridges and other obstructions along the line in those days which would undoubtedly have swept them into eternity had they not timed their trips down the little brass ladder strictly according to schedule. The kitchen was supplied with an ordinary soft coal range. Still in spite of all these peculiar disadvantages, the bill of fare for that time was considered most elaborate. The most interesting thing, however, about the Delmonico was the way in which the employees kept tab on the receipts. When a passenger entered the car the conductor handed the waiter who was to take care of him a small pasteboard ticket, which the waiter straightway deposited in a padlocked tin box in the kitchen. At the terminal station the ticket agent came into the car, unlocked the tin box, and with due ceremony "counted up the house." The conductor and other employees, while not being required to give an exact account, were expected to make an approximate check in accordance with the number of passengers served.

Few seem to know that there was a "Mother of Her Country." She was Maria Theresa, the great Empress of Austria, according to the New York Press. It is said she made only one mistake in the course of her reign—corseting to the partition of Poland. On the edge of the document given her to sign she wrote: "I consent because so many great and learned men will have it so, but after I am dead and gone people will see the consequence of thus breaking through all that has hitherto been holy and just." Her daughter was the unhappy Maria Antoinette. St. Louis and San Francisco R. R.
