Willing to Trust United States.

Where these American ambas- salt London, Berlin and Rome are working energetically to out the instructions of Secretary to ascertain how the proposal would be received. As far as England is concerned the safeguards referred to are believed to relate to the questions of guarantee, which is full of difficulties. In this connection, as indicated in previous catches some consideration is again given to the feasibility of assumption of responsibility of any award assessed against Venezuela by responsible private agencies, but the United States government is determined not to allow itself to be drawn into the position of a guarantor in this case, or the precedent, once established, might require the United States to become financial backer of all South and Central America. However, if private concerns can be induced to enter the field, the United States will do what it can to reduce their risks. Secretary Hay, Sir Michael Herbert, the British ambassador, and Senator Doew were in conference Friday, and it is suspected that this phase of the case was touched upon, although no confirmation can be had at this time. Knotty German Problem. The German position presents the greatest difficulties, for not only does it involve a demand for apologies, which are extremely repugnant to Veneruela, but also presents so many points requiring adjustment that it is evident that many days, or perhaps weeks, must elapse before the adjustment can be effected and the case prepared for arbitration. And the danger of delay in the face of a blockade, which seriously cripples neutral commerce, and invites hostile collisions with the Venezuelans, cannot be overestimated. The efforts of the United States, therefore, must be directed toward hastening Germany's action on the arbitration proposal. The Italian position is, of course, of less concern than that of the other allies. The Italian ambassador at Washington in his intercourse with the state department, has been extremely moderate and considerate, giving Secretary Hay the impression that he is well disposed to second any effort of the United States to terminate the present dangerous situation. Set of St. Louis Ex-Delegates Convicted by Jury. The joint trial of five former members of the house of delegates, which sat at St. Louis Tuesday, ended by night in a verdict of five years in penitentiary for each man. The trials John A. Sheridan, Charles B. Charles, Gutke, Edmund T. H. Albright, were con- Judge James S. Boynton Passes to His Reward After a Long Life of Well-Doing. Judge James S. Boynton, ex-governor of Georgia and one of her most distinguished sons, breathed his last at his home in Griffin Monday morning. The cause of his death was heart failure, produced by a complication of troubles from which he had suffered for many years. He was 60 years of age on the 7th of last May. Judge Boynton was born in Henry county, Georgia, May 7, 1833. His only education was derived from the old field school, the curriculum of which embraced only the elementary education. His intentions and ambitions were to become a soldier, but through early misfortune and the death of his father when he was 17 years of age, changed his whole life. The spirit which made the man shone out clear and bright in the boy, and, undaunted by early discouragement, he persevered in his studies; and finally, in 1552, after drifting about the state without any definite plans, he located at Cave Springs and attended the Hearne school until his meagre board compelled him to make other plans. He then returned to Henry county and commenced the study of law under Colonel L. T. Doyal. After ten weeks' hard study, he was admitted to the bar by the superior court of Henry county, and received the congratulations of the judge and entire bar upon the thoroughness of his preparation. He commenced to practice at Monticello, Ga., where he practiced until January, 1858, when he removed to Jackson, Butts county, and formed a partnership with Colonel James R. Lyons. In 1860 he was elected ordinary of Butts county. At the outbreak of the civil war he enlisted as a private in the 30th Georgia regiment, and after seven months' service was elected major of the regiment. In December, 1862, he was appointed lieutenant colonel, and upon the serious wounding of Colonel Mangham he was promoted to colonel. Judge Boynton was seriously wounded at the battle of Chickamauga, his life hanging by a thread for months, and being reduced in flesh to ninety pounds. This detained him from his regiment until January, 1865, when he rejoined his men and remained with them until they disbanded, enduring every hardship that the privates of his regiment suffered, with characteristic kindness and sympathy. The judge then located in Griffin and resumed the practice of his profession. In 1866 he was elected county judge. From 1869 to 1872 he was mayor of Griffin. In 1880 he was elected state senator, and was unanimously chosen president of that body and exofficio lieutenant governor, which office he held for four years. The judge acted as governor for a time after the death of Governor A. H. Stephens, in 1883. He was appointed judge of the superior court in 1886. In 1896 he was elected to represent Spalding county in the lower house of the legislature, after which he retired to private life and again took up the practice of his chosen profession. Duty was the watchword of his life, and he passed into the great beyond having fulfilled every duty in life, and never neglecting one, no matter how great the cost. He possessed in a marked degree the old-time courtliness and chivalry of manner. He was generous, charitable and just to his fellowmen, and a bigger hearted, braver man never lived, and, crowning it all, he was a Christian gentleman. Governor Issues Order. Upon the receipt of news of ex-Governor Boynton's death, Governor Terrell issued an order expressing the public sorrow and ordering all the state flags on Georgia's public buildings at half mast. The order also directs that the executive department be closed during the hours of the funeral. "Carnation League of America." The "Carnation League of America" is the name of a new patriotic movement proposed to the trustees of the McKinley National Memorial Association, and it will be submitted to the trustees in their coming meeting in Washington.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1902. HORROR OF THE DEEP HALF SCORE WENT TO BOTTOM Ships Collide Far Out at Sea and Both Go Down—Survivors Took Boats and Experienced Frightful Sufferings. Almost crazed from their sufferings, frost-bitten and helpless, ten men in a boat were gicked up by the schooner Manhassett Sunday 45 miles off Highland light. Then for the first time, it was learned that the schooner Frank A. Palmer and Louise B. Crary had been in collision, and that they had sunk off Hatcher's island on Wednesday evening. The survivors were landed at Boston Monday. Of the twenty men that made up the two crews, six were carried down when the two vessels sank, four dled during the terrible three days' drift in Massachusetts bay, and another became insane and jumped overboard. The two schooners, both heavily laden with coal, doubled Cape Cod in company, and ran into a strong north-wester on Wednesday night. Both captains put their vessels over toward the Cape Ann shore. When off Thatcher island they split tacks and finally both came about at the same time and unknown to themselves headed toward each other, the Cray holding north on the port tack and the Palmer south on the starboard tack, and, therefore, having the right of way. The survivors are inclined to lay the blame on Mate Smith, of the Cray, who had charge of the deck at the time and who went down with the ship. They are of the opinion that he thought he could weather the Palmer, but instead the Cray crashed into the bow of the Palmer. The cut was deep and it was seen instantly that there was no hope for either vessel. Most of the small boats were smashed and some of the men killed by the collision, but others of both crews, by quick work, launched the long boat of the Palmer, into which clambered the captains of both vessels and thirteen others. There was not a moment for storing food or water in the boat, and the rowers had propelled it only a short distance from the schooners when the Palmer went down. Three minutes later the Cray disappeared. Without food and water, drenched to the skin, spray freezing to their garments, because of the bitter cold, the fifteen survivors underwent sufferings indescribable. Four men of the Cray on Friday lay down in the bow of the boat, and that night they died. Eleven remained up till Saturday night, when Frank Banta went insane, and, under the delusion that his mother beckoned to him, he walked into the boat. The others were powerless to restrain him. Shortly after this the two captains decided that the bodies of the four dead men should be consigned to the deep, and, bending over them, Captain Potter, of the Cray, repeated as much of the burial service as he could remember. Then the strongest of the survivors put the bodies overboard. In the three days and a half that the men were afloat their boat drifted steadily off shore until at 3 o'clock Sunday morning it was 45 miles off Highland light. Where the lookout on the fishing schooner Manhassett caught a glimpse of the boat, and within half an hour the ten men were in the cabin of the schooner. CROWN PRINCESS VANISHES. Royal Circle of Saxony Furnishes a High-Grade Sensation. The crown princess of Saxony fled from her home at Dresden on the night of December 11. The Dresden Journal of last Monday contained the following notice: "The princess, in a state of intense mental excitement, suddenly deserted her family at Salzburg and went abroad. The Saxon court functions for the winter, including the New Year's reception, have been cancelled." The foregoing paragraph in the official journal, which was inserted by order of the king and crown prince of Saxony, has turned into truth what for several days past has been regarded as an incredible tale. The crown princess of Saxony, surrounded by her women in waiting and numerous attendants and servants of the royal household, has vanished so utterly that the police of every kingdom of Europe have for ten days been unable to trace her. The official announcement was made in order to obtain the aid of the general public in finding the princess and because the court fiction that she preferred to remain in retirement at than to return to Dreggen, trained —Governor Terrell, of Georgia, vetoes hills creating new city courts for Waynesboro and Jefferson on constitutional grounds. —R.

VENEZUELA APPROVES MOVE Roosevelt Suggested Submlsslon of Trouble to Hague, But Powers Demurred and Made the Counter Proposition. A Washington special says; President Roosevelt has proposed to the allied powers that the Venezuelan dispute be submitted to the arbitration of The Hague tribunal. The powers have replied with a counter proposal that President Roosevelt himself arbitrate the issues. These were the developments of Saturday night in the Venezuelan matter and they seem to justify the prediction made in previous dispatches that the critical point had been passed. The president was reluctant to accept the proposition, but judging from private American advices which have been received in London, President Roosevelt as arbitrator would be favorably disposed toward the temporary adoption of some such method as was arranged with the Venezuelan secret mission and communicated to the state department by Isaac Ligman. With President Roosevelt acting as arbitrator, the serious objections in the matter of guarantees, which frequently have been mentioned at the foreign office and in press dispatches, would disappear. Castro is Willing. A special from Caracas says: In the name of Venezuela President Castro has signified acceptance of the appointment of President Roosevelt to arbitrate the Venezuelan difficulty. Secrecy is Maintained. A London dispatch under Sunday's date says: It is believed that President Roosevelt's answer to the proposal made by the allied powers that he arbitrate the Venezuelan issues has been received in London. The strictest secrecy with regard to every phase of the negotiations is preserved, however, and it is impossible to make a definite statement, but such indications as are obtainable point to President Roosevelt's acceptance of the office or arbitrator. DISCREPANCY IN DATES. Washington Notified that Blockade Is Effective for Christmas Day. The state department has received notice from Ambassador White at London that the blockade of the Venezuelan ports was to begin December 25. Shortly after the receipt of the notice a message was received from Consul Smith, at Port Spain, Trinidad, as follows: "Venezuela blockaded." This was understood to mean that the blockade already had begun and completely mystified the state department as it showed a conflict in date with the blockade notice received from London, namely, December 25. However, the department has resolved to regard the date given in the London dispatch as official until further advised. NOTORIOUS HUMBERTS NABBED. Perpetrators of Gigantic Frauds in Paris are Captured in Madrid. Madame Humbert and the other members of her family who became notorious in connection with the great safe frauds in Paris, have been arrested in Madrid, Spain. They had been in Madrid since May 9. The police made a clean haul of the whole family — Madamo Humbert, her husband, Eva Humbert and the three D'Aurignacs, Romain, Tie and Marie. The prefect of police subsequently had an audience with King Alfonso and reported the capture. The king congratulated the prefect, saying: "I rejoice that our police have been able to render service to France." The Humborts maintain they are innocent, saying they are being victimized and desire to go to France and defend themselves against the charges. First Prize Under Blockade. A special from Caracas says: The British cruiser Indefatigable has made the first prize under the blockade, capturing the Venezuelan schooner Julia, which was going to Higuerote, a seaport in the province of Miranda. The Julla's cargo, by the irony of fate, belongs to the German firm of Blohm, which has lodged a protest with the United States consul. Peruviana Offer Their Services A number of officers at Lima, Peru, proposed cabling their sames to the president of Venezuela offering their services in the poor of the situation by NO 12. House Committee, by Decisive Vote, Favors Creating Department of Commerce. The house committee on interstate commerce Friday ordered a favorable report on the department of commerce bill. The vote on reporting it stood 5 to 3. The provision for including the bureau of labor in the new department- was retained on a tie vote. The bill as it will come from the house committee will embrace within the proposed department of commerce the light house board, the light house service, national bureau of standards, coast and geodetic survey, bureau of immigration, fish commission, bureau of statistics of the treasury department, bureau of foreign commerce of the state department, for seal and salmon fisheries, bureau of labor and census and three new bureaus—insurance, manufactures and corporations. The province and duty of the proposed bureau of corporations is, under the direction of the secretary of commerce, to gather, compile publish and supply useful information concerning corporations engaged in interstate or foreign commerce. A section added to the senate bill gives the president authority to transfer at any time statistical or scientific branch of the government to the department of commerce. PURE FOOD BILL PASSED. Measure Adopted in House by Vote of 72 to 21. The house at Friday's session passed the pure food bill by a vote of 72 to 21. There was not a quorum present, but the point was not raised by the opponents of the measure. The speakers were Messrs. Richardson of Alabama; Hepburn, of Iowa; Gaines, of Tennessee, and Schirm, of Maryland, for the measure, and Mr. Candler of Mississippi, against it. The bill inhibits the introduction into any state or territory or the District of Colombia from any other state, territory or foreign country or to the shipment to any foreign country, of any article or food or drug which is adulterated or misbranded. The above inhibition is made to apply to any one shipping, delivering or receiving within the regions named any such goods so adulterated. Adultations in the bill are defined in part as follows: In the-case of drugs, if sold under a name recognized in the United States pharmacopbela at the time of investigation, so that its strength or purity falls below the professional standard under which it is sold; if it be an imitation of, or offered for sale under the name of another article, and in the case of a confectionery, if it contains terra alba, barytes, talc, chrome yellow or other mineral substances, or poisonous colors or flavors. In the case of foods, when any substance is mixed with it so as to lower or injuriously affect its quality or strength so that such product when offered for sale shall tend to deceive the purchaser. If any substance or substance has been substituted so that the product when sold shall tend to deceive the purchaser, if any valuable constituent of an article has been whiten or in part abstracted If it be an invention offered for sale under the distinct name of another article. If it be mixed, colored, powdered or stained in a manner whichever damage or inferiority is concealed, it contain any added or poisonous ingredient which may render such article rious to health. If it is falsely labeled as a product or imitation of an appearance of a previously registered name, which has been trade marked. If it consists in what part of a filthy, decomposed animal or vegetable substance portion of animal unfit for it it is the product of a disease or one that has died otherwise slaughter. The last section of the bill that any article of food or drug adulterated or misbranded shall be confiscation.

It is time to prepare your New Year's resolutions. THE TRIBUNE force observed Christmas day, but we managed to get our papers to our thousands of readers as usual. ERE our next issue another year will be ushered in. We therefore take this method of wishing our many readers a "happy new year." DURING these holidays remember that THE TRIBUNE endeavors to be loyal to race principles and should be encouraged by being paid the amounts that you are due. The recorder of the police court is as bias as the day is long. On Christmas eve a colored boy was arrested for shooting fire crackers on Broughton street. On the same day two white men were arrested for the same offense. The colored boy was fined five dollars and the two white men three dollars each. Where is the justice in the fines? ON Christmas eve night a white man was killed by an unknown colored man. It is said that the colored man was assaulted and shot at by the white man and in self defense killed him. It is a great wonder that more tragedies of the kind were not had. The action of white men and boys when in crowds are certainly outrageous when they come in contact with colored persons. The above tragedy should cause them to be more lawabiding. The special edition of the Scientific American, devoted to Transportation on Land and Sea, cannot fail to attract widespread interest, both because of the very handsome manner in which it is gotten up and on account of the voluminous amount of information that it contains. It is safe to say that anyone that reads it carefully through will find himself thoroughly posted both as to the magnitude and high quality of our railroads and shipping. The Scientific American has its own characteristic way of presenting what some people might say dry statistical matter in an interesting form, and the present number is no exception to the rule. Both artist and Editor have collaborated to certainly very good effect, and we believe the number will meet everywhere with a hearty reception. In our last issue we spoke of the boisterous manner by which Christmas is celebrated. The attention of the president of the Retail Merchants' Association was called to this matter and he immediately replied to us stating that the matter would be taken up with the mayor and steps taken to have the rowdyism in the business section suppressed. The president appointed a committee of merchants who waited on the mayor and informed him of the situation. The mayor promised to not inflict sufficient orders to the police which such disorders may be As a general thing on Christmas night a crowd of rowdy boys won a parade the side walks in the small business section and assault every inoffensive colored person would come in contact, and have acted in such a disagreeable manner that many refrain from that section to make pur- Considering the assaults have been made upon our people the manner in which they have been otherwise treated, we steps we did, the results the better order that was ob- on this occasion. atter of Principle. monday last the representa- tive the Mabel Paige Company our office to arrange for nouncements of Mabal Paige appear at the Savannah The representative desired ert an advertisement.

He was to return and give us the guarantee but up to the time of going to press he had not not in his appearance with the guarantee and we know that if any of our people want to see this actress and others they will have to climb to the peanut gallery. It would have been very easy for us to have inserted the advertisement of this company and secure the money therefrom, but to have done so we would be stupifying outposition in this matter. We have been continually advising our people to stay away from the theatre on account of the accommodation, and to have inserted this advertisement which would have accrued us a few dollars, it would have been an endorsement of the peanut gallery. We would rather starve than going back on a principle. We wish that all of our people, especially the thoughtless young men and young women who are constant attendants, could look at this matter in the proper light and refrain from accepting the accommodation accorded. Do so at least one season and the managers would be brought to their proper sense and give what we are asking for. The Mabel Paige Company, nor no other company, matters not how meritorious they may be should receive our patronage as long as we are compelled to climb the winding flights to the gallery of peanuts. Advancement in Business. That the colored man is gradually but surely catching on to business and its methods is a patent fact. It is being clearly shown more and more that he is a trader, and this is what make a people great, what is more, he is reaching out in every vista for the sale of his ware. To give some idea how important commerce is to the development of a people, history on the rise and fall of nations discloses this, "That no nation exist to-day who did not have for its foundation commerce and the weal clings are those that are commercially weak." A nation, race or set of people that does not command a degree share of its own production and consumption grows frangible and will crumble. It is true also that pluck and ambition enter largely into composition of race building, however the ability to do is utterly useless unless we do and how can we do unless we get the chance to do it. It is a settled fact that the whites are not going to open banks and stores and give the best places to colored boys and girls, no matter how much we spend there. Time was when the colored man would confine himself with any kind, of little business affair, without improving it, so long as it kept soul and body together, but it is refreshing to note that time seems to be eliminating itself, now that he is touching the fringe of success. Many of the more advanced in economics knows that to make a business attractive, profitable and finally successful, there must be an awakening to those finer financial arts of the white man. The masses must be taught to understand that money idle is like uncultivated and unimproved land is of little use to the owner. Generally and seriously speaking it does not take a microscope to see that the future of the Negro in this country is bright, providing he continue to co-operate. Men of the race are coming out in the business world with experience and financial knowledge, coupled with concration of capital to back them, a combination hard to beat. There are to-day many times the investors among colored people that there was two or three years ago. "No venture no gain" seems to be the slogan. Why not? It holds as good now as when first spoken. Money invested in good dirt and all dirt is good, never failed yet to bring in handsome returns. It is the veritable main-stay of large institutions as well as individuals. It is first thing acquired it gives tone and confidence to the company. The colored man knows now, at least should know that his gnarly but corrigiable problem, is primarily and essentiality his problem. Let us fight it out right here. Many of those that have been sleeping for a decade or more waiting for some thing to turn up instead of turning up something, are rubbing open their eyes taking landscape views of the situations and are coming to the conclusion that this is indeed a day of materialism, commercialism and invention. They are thinking and when a people think, look for something tangible to happen. If there is one thing above another in keeping pace with the spirit of the age, it is an active mind. It might be interesting to cite some of the things being done by the race on a large scale, things that would have excited doubt if not awe a few years ago, namely, the handling by the "Colored American Magazine" of a hundred and add agents in all parts of the Union, Africa and Central America. "The Loyal Legion of Lions, with its fifty or more councils holding all the phases of Negro progress," The True Reformer, with a list of branches in the United States, who would situations throughout the that shows plainly enough the Negro intends to get in the bus swim. It is his only hope, his salivation. Of course it takes all the elements of civilization to fasten upon a people those qualities necessary to their every well-being but business is the sheet anchor of all successful races. The following is argument that augur. A colored man received several checks within the last few months from one of the colored banks payable at any bank and was taken to one of the banks in this city and cashed without question. Attention is called to this only to show that a check nor the bank to which it is made payable is no respecter of persons, neither does the color of the skin or texture of the hair cut any figure. Let us then, converse deeply on results and search to find and transform past experience into doing and crave passion into present life. If the time was ever auspicious for the Negro in business, that time is now. Bolton Street Church. On last Sunday morning the services at the F. A. B. Church on the corner of West Broad and Bulton streets, were interesting and instructive. Rev. T. M. Williamson B. D., the faithful pastor, preached on the "Indestructibility of the kingdom of Christ." The Sunday school was largely attended at 3:30 p. m., and at night Rev. Williamson preached on the "Reign of the King of Glory." This sermon brought forth many compliments to the preacher, and many unhesitatingly informed him that they never heard a better sermon in all their lives. On to-morrow morning. Rev. Williamson will preach on "The Call of Moses." At night preaching services will be suspended, and the Sunday school will have their exercises which will precede their grand Christmas tree on Monday night. You are invited to all these services. It will be a grand treat for you to hear Rev. Williamsons' sermon on tomorrow morning, so don't fail to avail yourself of this opportunity. St. Philip's Dots. The 11 a. m. service on Sunday were largely attended and we note the return of a great many of our members whom have been away for some time. Rev. Cargile text was Luke 1:38, subject "At His feet." It was one of the most heart-felt sermons that has ever been heard in St. Philips in a long while and some of the congregation were made to weep and to be joyful; as a whole it was a grand sermon. At 8 p. m. Rev. Cargile preached to the Ladies Union Society and also preached his farewell sermon. Text, Paul's letter to Titus 1:10, subject "Heavenly jewels." Rev. Cargile is noted to deliver grand sermons, but his effort in this his farewell words was heart touching. Rev. Cargile extended thanks to all the different congregations for the way they had treated him since he has been in Savannah. St. Philips church has the sympathy of the whole city on account of the removal of Rev. Cargile. At this time if the bishop had to let him remain one year longer the time limit would have been out. This is the first time in the history of St. Philips that a pastor has been removed in three years. One consolation the members have is that the grand reports St. Philips is making will be the cause of removing any good minister from here. The reports that have been made in the last three years is what did it. Don't forget our big bazaar that opens up at Harris street hall on Monday night Jan. 26, 1903. For information concerning the same, address A. W. White, chairman, and F. J. Hilton, secretary, care St. Philips A. M. E. Church. All donations will be thankfully received. The Sunday School had their Candy pulling on Friday afternoon. Christmas services were held on Christmas day. The members of St. Philips wish their friends a merry Christmas. The usual services will be held on Sunday. Wedding Bells. Miss Addio L. Quarterman and Mr. George M. Jenks were united in the bonds of holy wedlock on Thursday at the residence of Mr. and Mrs J. A. Woodard on East Gordon street. A number of friends were present to witness the ceremony and congratulate the happy couple They will reside at Proctor, Ga. Mr. H. H. Miller and Miss Rhina A.

Allow us space in your paper to make the following statements: On Saturday night the 8th of last month at Lansir's. Bro. D. J Cook, Junior Warden of our lodge was fatally shot, by one Will Watson.

Our city is still going on to prosperity. The new court house is going on to completion and several buildings are being erected for stores and dwellings. The most of the farmers in the vicinity have harvested in their crop a very good supply of corn, peas potatoes and syrup. They will be prepared for farming another year. Oak City, Lodge No. 74, A.

Atlanta University closed her football season last Friday in Anniston, Ala., with a decisive victory over Talladega College by a score of 17 to 6. This makes A. U. champion of the South. When it is considered that all of the colleges have more male students than Atlanta; that Atlanta had many good players kept out of the game on account of their low rank in scholarship, and that other institutions have not this year had such stringent regulations as Atlanta concerning the scholarship of players—we are very much gratified with being champions of the South. Captain Charles R Westmoreland has been an efficient, hardworking captain. New York Daily Tribune. Only the other John W. Griggs, formally Attorney General of the United States, remarked that in the many years he had known The Tribune he never knew it to be a better newspaper or to bear stronger evidence of prosperity than at present. The constant effort of the men who make The Tribune is to improve it with every issue. While a sturdy advocate of Republican principles, it is not hide bound, or narrow, but endeavors to be absolutely fair and fearless in its treatment of men and affairs. While gathering with painstaking care and accuracy the news of the world, it sifts out and eliminates the nasty and cheap sensations which come to the surface regularly in the daily panorama of human life. But The Tribune is not dull. It is instructive, stimulating and entertaining exactly the sort of newspaper chosen for himself and his family by the man who is careful about the character and calibre of those whom he introduces to his home.

SOL. C. JOHNSON, 1st. Lieut. and Adjutant. Passed Peacefully Away. Mrs. Mary B. Grant McMillan, wife of Mr. James S. McMillan, after an illness of a few weeks, departed this life on Sunday evening shortly before nine o'clock. Very favorable hop.s had been entertained by the family and friends for her recovery up to Friday, when a very material change in her condition for the worse took place and she began to grow weaker until the final end had been reached. She passed away peacefully, leaving every consolation to those whom she loved that all is well, and that the abiding place for her soul is in the "Sweet bye and bye." Mrs McMillan was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. R Grant. She was born July 21, 1869, and was married to Mr. James S. McMillan, March 12, 1890. She attended Beaufort's Industrial Academy, under Prof. S. P. Hood, where she made a number of friends. Besides her husband, the deceased leaves two children, John C. and Usula Viola, three brothers, Mr. U. S. Grant of this city, Mr. J. S. Grant of Jacksonville, Fla., Mr. J. B. Grant of Charleston, S. C., and a sister, Mrs. Aliffe Walker, of Yemasee, S. C. She was a member of the United Tie, in which organization she was held in the highest esteem. The funeral ceremonies were held at the late residence, No. 521. Nicoll street, on Monday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock, Rev. R Kemp of Beth Eden Baptist church, officiating, and was attended by a large concourse of friends. The remains were taken to Allendale, S. C., on Monday night for interment in the family lot. The bereaved family has the sympathy of friends in the sad visitation which came to them. Local Brevites. Appropriate Christmas exercises were held at the West Broad Street School on Wednesday. The room in which the exercises were held was tastily decorated, and the children were at their best. Each one seemed to have entered heartily in the spirit of the affair and did the better perform their parts. This school is noted for the excellency of its singing, and on this occasion its reputation was added to. Dr. T.

By a score of 5 to 0, the Forest City foot ball team added another to their many victories by defeating the heavy and well trained Paine College team in a hard fought battle at the Bolton street park. Only half of the game was played owing to the fact that the visitors only brought eleven men with them and they were so badly battered at the end of the first half, that they felt that they could not do themselves justice by trying the second. The features of the game were Evans' tackling, Wiggins and Rice's interference of the visitors for the home boys. The long run made by Grant and Gaston and the touchdown that gave the game to the home team by Monroe. The game was excellently conducted. The Forest City expect to visit Augusta in January.

When the compass had deviated a half point I judged that I had made about half the distance to the matiland, so I steered a straight course for the coast of South America. The night before we made St. George we saw three steamers some distance off, but could not attract their attention. The next day we made the harbor, and when our little boat was rowed in a big crowd of Africans was lined up on the shore. We got dry clothes, somebody photographed us in a group, and five or six churches took up a collection for us that amounted to $75 or more. Those natives never saw a shipwrecked crew before, and whenever any of us went out on the street a big crowd would collect and follow us around." The Florence E. Edgett was built at Digby, N.

The Escane of Scout Burpham Burnham, the American scout, who was Lord Roberts' chief of scouts, was one of the most interesting figures in the South African war. Some of his adventures are as thrilling as the wildest inventions of the writers of dime novels, differing only in the important respect that they are true. Mr. Frederick Unger, the American war correspondent, relates one of them in his book, "With 'Bobs' and Kruger." Burnham once allowed himself to be captured and led into De Wet's camp, going to get information and then es-He concealed his identity, but seance and india.

Then he turned to the colonel and said in an angry and accusing voice, "Please order the men who killed the leopard to fall out."- Only one man, Hazara Sing, came forward, out of all the previous claimants to the honor. "Are you the man who killed my leopard?" asked the judge. "Yes," answered he, steadily. "The leopard came into the lines, leaped on my horse's back and began tearing its throat open. I drew my sword and cut it down with one blow. My horse died last night, and I am now a hegar, having no money to purchase another horse, which would cost me 300 rupees." (The native cavalry provided their own mounts). "Well done, my man," said the judge to the amazement of the listeners, who had expected an outburst of wrath. "Come up to my house and I will make you a present of the amount you will need to buy another horse. I will do this because I consider you to be a brave and truthful man." The braggarts of the bloodless swords got only the ridicule of the regiment, both for their hasty claim and its hastler withdrawal, while Hazarn Sing bore afterward the nickname of the Leopard Slayer. He was later, for gallantry in battle, promoted to the rank of a native officer. A Girl's Presence of Mind. The presence of mind of a Trenton (N. J.) girl in an emergency saved the life of her father by stopping the flow of blood from an artery in his wrist until the arrival of a physician. Enoch Knowles, with his daughter, Miss May Knowles, were driving when their horses became frightened and ran away. The wagon was overturned, and in falling out Mr. Knowles had an artery in his wrist severed. The girl was not hurt, although a little shaken up. She took hold of her father's wrist above the artery and held it tightly until the arrival of a physician, who had been summoned by a farmer who happened to be passing in his wagon. Miss Knowles is a trained nurse, and is a graduate of Merger Hospital.

A Match-striking Dog. A Manayunk man found the other day a number of burnt matches scattered on the floor of his parlor. No one in the house had thrown them there. The whole matter was a mystery. Two days later the same thing occurred again, this time in the kitchen. Over fifty charred match-sticks lay upon the carpet, and nobody knew anything about them. It looked as thought a lunatic had been at work. The following afternoon the man was taking a nap in his study, while his fox-terrier played about the room. A sharp report awakened him, and, looking up, he saw the dog striking a match with his nails. With one paw it held a match-stick firmly on the floor, and it scratched the brimstone head with the nails of the other foot. The little flame and explosion that followed seemed to fill the dog with delight. It went immediately to the table, and brushing off a dozen of the matches that lay there, it was about to renew its tiny fireworks display when the man shouted— "Get out of there! Do you want to set the house on fire?" Since then the dog has been kept out of doors.—Philadelphia News. CAESAR'S FINISH.
