VOL. XVIII. PROBE POSTOFFICE Is a Decision Reached by Postmaster General Payne, Investigation Will Be Thorough and All Guilty Parties Run to Earth Will Receive Prompt Punishment. A Washington special says: Postmaster General Payne Monday evening gave out a statement in which he announced that the investigate of the affairs of the postoffice department will be continued and that any parties found guilty of wrong doing will be dealt with summarily. The statement is as follows: "During the months of January and February information and reports reached me which I deemed it for the public interest to investigate and I, personally, gathered such information and facts as would enable the proper officers of the department to undertake a thorough investigation as to the truth or falsity of these reports. I directed Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow to take the proper steps to institute the necessary inquiry, using for that purpose the postoffice inspector's division and such other methods as would thoroughly ascertain the truth or falsity of the charges or ininstructions made, and he was instructed to proceed promptly and with a vigor during my absence. Since my return this morning I have not seen General Bristow, so that I am not advised of the progress made. The investigation will continue, and if any wrong Coing is disclosed the parties guilty of such wrong doing will be summarily dealt with. If the system or method of doing business in the department is faulty, the proper remedies will be applied without fear of favor. I inaugurated the investigation with the determination that it should be exhaustive. It is proper for me to add that I laid before the president the information which I had in my possession and that he fully approved of the active investigation proposed by me." The whole administration of the postoffice department is made the subject of the investigation under the postmaster general's direction, and every part will be probed thoroughly, and the inquiry be made as thorough as the department's most expert inspectors can make it. At the same time Mr. Payne's purpose is to give fair and just treatment to all concerned and not to act arbitrarily and with unequate haste. For this reason it can be stated that no immediate changes of Importance in the personnel of the service are now contemplated and changes will depend largely on the report to be made by Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow on the investigation, although development smeartime may necessitate some deviation from this policy. Postmaster General Payne, who returned to Washington Monday morning from his trip to the West Indies, did not reach the department until 4 p'clock p.m. A score of newspapermen were awaiting him with queries concerning the postoffice investigation, but he parried all questions with remarks on his trip. He expressed particular gratification at what he had observed of postal conditions in Cuba and said his observations in Cuba and Porto Rico would be helpful to him in administering the postal service. Mr. Payne summoned a number of the officers of the department and held short consultations with them respecting postal affairs. About an hour later he gave out his statement. Subsequently he held quite an extended interview with Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Eristow. It is learned that it will be several weeks before the postoffice inspectors will be able to complete their work. When they have finished Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow will prepare a comprehensive report on the whole subject. The report necessarily will embrace matters as to which publicity may not be warranted, so it is probable some parts of the report will be withheld from publication. DAKOTA DIVORCE LAW VOID. New York. Woman Put in Sorry Predicament by U. S. Supreme Court. The United States supreme court has decided the divorce case of Lillie Winston vs. Walker Winston, both of New York, in favor of the latter. The case involved the validity of a decree granted Mrs. Winston by a South Dakota court which was claimed had been granted her without a sufficient residence. The decree was not accepted by the New York courts and that view is upheld. Mrs. Winston married after she secured her decree and is now known as Mrs. Ludden. The Savannah Tribune. ONLY HOPE OF NEGRO Rests Upon Friendliness and Good Will of Southerners, Says Ex-President Cleveland. Former President Grover Cleveland was the principal speaker Tuesday night at a meeting held in the concert hall of Madison Square Garden, New York, in the interests of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, at Tuskegee, Ala. Among those on the platform with Mr. Cleveland were Mayor Low, who presided; Booker T. Washington, Edgar G. Murphy, Dr. Lyman Abbott, President Nicholas Murray Butler and Dean J. Vän Amringe, of Columbia; W. H. Baldwin, Chancellor McCracken, of New York university; John DeWitt, Warner and George F. Peabody, Mrs. Cleveland sat in the gallery with Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Carnegie, who were Mr. Cleveland's host while in the city. Mr. Cleveland was greeted with prolonged applause as he was introduced by Mayor Low. He said in part: "I have come here tonight as a sincere friend of the negro and I should be very sorry to suppose that my good and regular standing in such company needed support at this late day, either from certificate or confession of faith. Inasmuch, however, as there may be differences of thought and sentiment among those who profess to be friends of the negro, I desire to declare myself as belonging to the Booker Washington-Tuskegee section of the organization. I believe that the days of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" are past. I do not believe that either the decree that made the slaves free or the enactment that suddenly invested them with the rights of citizenship, any more purged them of their racial and slavery-breed imperfections and deficiencies than that they changed the color of the skin. I believe that among the nearly nine millions of negroes who have been intermixed with our citizens, there is still a grievous amount of ignorance, a sad amount of viciousness and a tremendous amount of laziness and thriftlessness. I believe that these conditions inexorably present to the white people of the United States a problem which neither enlightened self-interest nor the higher motive of human sympathy will permit them to put aside. I believe our fellow countrymen in the southern and late slaveholding states, surrounded by about nine-tenths or nearly eight millions of this entire negro population, and who regard their material prosperity, their peace and even the safety of their civilization interwoven with the negro problem are entitled to our utmost consideration and sympathetic fellowship. I am thoroughly convinced that the efforts of Booker Washington and the methods of Tuskegee instituted point the way to a safe and beneficent solution of the vexatious negro problem at the south; and I know that the good people at the north who have added these efforts and methods have illustrated the highest and best citizenship and the most Christian and enlightened philanthropy. "I cannot, however, keep out of my mind the thought that with all we of the north may do, the realization of our hopes for the negro must, after all, mainly depend—except so far as it rests with the negroes themselves—upon the sentiment and conduct of leading and responsible white men of the south and upon the maintenance of a kindly and helpful feeling on their part towards those in their midst who so much need their aid and encouragement. "Let us try to be tolerant and considerate of the feelings and even the prejudice of racial instinct of our white fellow countrymment of the south who, in the solution of the negro problem must, amid their own surroundings, bear the heat of the day and stagger under the weight of the white man's burden." At the conclusion of his address Mr. Cleveland introduced Rev. Edgar G. Murphy, who also discussed the race problem. Dr. Lyman Abbott, who followed, said that the south deserved great credit for taking up as it had an untried problem in helping the negro to help himself. Mr. Cleveland, in introducing Booker T. Washington, the last speaker or the evening, said: "I have to introduce to you a man too well known by every man in the United States; a man who has been spoken of too frequently and too-favorably for it-to be necessary for me to say more than here is Booker T. Washington." Booker Washington's speech was temperate in tone. Big Purchase of Land. C. H. Rexford & Son, of Pennsylvania, Tuesday purchased 12,000 acres of timber land in Swain county, Western North Carolina, for which they paid $75,000. It adjoins a tract of 18,000 acres recently bought by the same parties, SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. APRIL 18. 1908. MERGER DECISION WILLIAMS GIVES VIEWS Speculation on Effects of Ultimate Action of High Court is Induged in By Politicians in Washington. The decision of the United States circuit court of appeals in the Northern Securities Company case, Mr. John Skelton Williams, president of the Seaboard Air Line railway system, says he regards as one of the greatest blessings and the brightest promises for railroad interests and general business that the country could have. In an interview Sunday, with a representative of the Associated Press, when asked his opinion of the decision, Mr. Williams said: "I am satisfied that when they come to study the matter carefully tallroad men and thinking men of all classes, not only in the south, but in the country generally, except those whose ambitious schemes are directly hindered, will be united in the feeling that the decision is sound law, good sense, and for the advantage of all legitimate interests and for the country's welfare. From a legal standpoint it accords with the opinions of many of the ablest lawyers of the country, and it seems to be fortified with authorities and reasoning too strong to be shaken. "I have no fear that the supreme court will reverse or seriously modify it. Public policy, public sentiment and established principles and precedents of law combine to sustain the circuit court. From a commercial and practical railroad standpoint the soundness of the court's position is indisputable. It voices the judgment of probably nine-tenths of the most conservative business men of the country. Last November, in New Orleans, in an address before the trust company section of the American Bankers' Association, I took the ground that there must be a check to the processes of merger and combination. I found my position was heartily approved by most of my hearers and by the public generally, if I may judge from press comments, and I am satisfied the country at large will welcome the court's action." Discussed in Washington A Washington special says: The possible effects, politically, of the merger decision which has created such a stir in the industrial world are being discussed very prominently by politicians of both parties in Washington. While nobody will be satisfied until the principles involved in this case are passed upon by the supreme court of the United States, there is a general disposition to believe that the action of the circuit court of appeals may be taken as fairly indicative of the final decision of the highest court The first credit for the success of the case brought by the government is given, by those who understand the history o. the proceedings, to Attorney General Knox—and that is where it belongs. While President Roosevelt was preaching the necessity of an amendment to the constitution in order to pave the way for legislation which would recognize the 'new relationship between capital and the government," when he was proclaiming in his speeches; Attorney General Knox took the position that the laws upon the statute books were sufficient to cure some of the most flagrant evils which had grown up as a part of the trust system, and that the fault in the past had been largely due to lack of aggressiveness on the part of the officials of the department of justice in his speech at Pittsburg, Attorney General Knox took this position and his prosecution of the case against the Northern Securities Company was in line with his declaration in that speech. It is well known that President Roosevelt had no part whatsoever in shaping this case until after Attorney General Knox had drawn his bills and had made his case complete. The credit for the success of the government's case belongs, therefore, to the attorney general, BOLL WEVIL IN CUBA. Enemy of Cotton Exists Plentifully Throughout the Island. E. A. Schwarz has just returned to Washington from Cuba; where he wear for the department of agriculture to make an investigation of the cotton lands and of the depredations of the cotton boll weevil. The especial purpose of his visit was the desire to find, if possible, some parasite which will destroy this pest so fatal to cotton. He failed to find any such parasite. He found instead that the weevil exists pretty generally throughout Cuba and that the cotton possibilities of the island are, naturally, very much injured READY FOR INSPECTION. Militia Companies in Southern States Await the Coming of Specially Detailed Army Officers. The Atlanta Constitution's Washington correspondent wires the following to his paper: The condition of the militia in the different southern states is shown by the preliminary reports made to the war department in response to the questions sent out for the purpose of securing information to form as a basis for the inspection or muster of the militia soon to be made. Colonel Parker, of the adjutant general's office, who has charge of the new militia division, has given me the opportunity of looking over the record of replies from the southern states. These show that the militia in all of the southern states is ready for immediate inspection, or what is the same thing, inspection upon ten days' notice. The appointment of inspectors is made by the different department commanders. Most of the southern states are in the department of the east, and the assignments will, therefore, be made by General Chance. The records show that in Georgia there are 108 companies of the state troops distributed at 48 stations. In Alabama the total number of separate organizations is not given, but the adjutant general states that, according to his idea, the inspection should begin, with the Montgomery companies, to be followed by the companies at Mobile, and adds that outside of Mobile and Montgomery there are thirty other towns in Alabama at which militia companies are located. The adjutant general of Florida states that there are companies at thirteen towns and cities in that state. The militia is soon to be reorganized under the new law and he prefers that the inspection be made in August. South Carolina has 46 companies stationed at 35 different places. Tennessee has 25 organizations at 12 places. The new adjutant general of that state his written that he prefers that the inspection of Tennessee troops he deferred until May or June because he has just assumed office. Virginia, 35 organizations at 22 stations. Mississippi, 31 companies at 28 stations. Louisiana, 25 companies at 10 stations. Texas, 62 companies at 47 stations. The only southern state from which there has been no report is Arkansas. HUNDRED MOROS SLAIN. American Troops in Philippines Knock Out Another Rebel Band in Mindanao'Island. A special from Manila says: Captain Pershing's force captured Bacolod, Island of Mindanao, Wednesday, killed a hundred Moros and wounded many others. Three Americans were wounded. Pershing's forces consisted of Shaw's battalion of the 27th infantry, Kilpatrick of the 15th Cavalry and Chacaucis battery. Pershing was surveying the West Sohe lands when the Bacolodians opposed his advance and provoked the fight. Pershing surrounded and attacked their stronghold, first shelling them and rushing his troops forward charging gallantly. After crossing the deep moat and entering the fort, the Americans engaged the Moros' bayonets against Krisses. A hundred of the defenders were killed, including the detatto of Panandungan and many were wounded. After the capture of the fort it was destroyed. The Bacolod leaders and a majority of the people of that district had been hostile to the Americans and encouraged attacks on American camps. They rejected the tenders of friendship. It is expected that the defeat of the Bacolodians will result in all the Moors acknowledging American sovereignty. Senate Passes St. Louis Fair Bill. The Tennessee senate Friday afternoon passed the house bill appropriating $40,000 for a Tennessee exhibit at the Louisiana Purchase exposition at St. Louis. The bill now goes to the governor for his approval. PENNELL INQUEST UNDER WAY. Witnesses of the Automobile's Plunge Into Rock Quarry are Called. The inquest into the death of Arthur R. Pennell and his wife was begun at Buffalo, N. Y., Friday before Police judge Murphy, who conducted the Burdick inquest. Besides the witnesses from the neighborhood of the stone quarry, who observed the movements of Pennell and his wife with their automobiles on the afternoon of the tragedy and saw them take the fatal plunge, a number of Pennell's friends were called, COLOMBIA WARNED BAD TREATMENT COMMON Property Belonging to Subjects of Uncle Sam Frequently Selzed by Government Officials on Sightest Pretext. A Washington special says: The diplomatic exchanges between the United States legation at Bogota and the state department in Washington, which will appear in the forthcoming volume of foreign relations, discloses that numerous complaints were made by American citizens during the revolution in Columbia of the action of military authorities of that government in ex-appropriating their mules and other property. Mr. Beauprie, the American charge at Bogota, in the absence of Minister Hart, writing to the state department concerning the rights of citizens of the United States as to the ex-appropriation of property, cited a case that came under his personal observation. An American citizen who had dined with him found upon going to look after two animals he had purchased that the saddles and bridles had been taken by a government official, who had left a receipt fixing the value of the articles taken at 1,000 pesos, while it was estimated that the American citizen would be obliged to pay 5,000 pesos to duplicate his lost articles. Speaking of this case, Mr. Beauprie said: "There are a dozen stores in Bogota selling the saddles, and hundreds of saddles for sale," and then asked "Whence the urgent, immediate and pressing emergency?" that would justify the forcible ex-appropriation of the saddles, etc., from the American. "Certainly under the system of arbitrarily fixing the value of such property, it is much cheaper to get it this way and the day of payment is indefinitely postponed, but I cannot believe it consistent with the guaranties of public treaty or the laws of nations. It is altogether probable that, in the majority of cases the regulations for appropriation are no more valid nor just than these in the case just cited." Assistant Secretary Hill, in a communication to the United States legation at Bogota, said among other things: "The declaration of the minister of war that all foreigners should be deemed public enemies cannot but be regarded as gratuitously offensive and this government must remonstrate against such characterization of its citizens availing the selves of their conventional rights of visit and sojourn in Colombia. It should have been made the occasion of instant and vigorous protest." The attitude of this government toward the seizure by Colombia of property of Americans for military purposes is shown by the following instruction sent by Dr. Hill, as acting secretary of state, to the American legation at Bogota: "You will notify the Colombian government that this government will hold it responsible for any proven cases of seizure of American property for military purposes without due compensation." Among the other subjects of the diplomatic exchanges between Washington and Bogota contained in this volume are the seizure of vessels and alleged discrimination against American enterprise in Colombia, the reopening of United States schools at Baranquilla, Medillen and Bogota closed by the Colombian authorities, and the question of neutrality of aliens.

SATURDAY APRIL 18, 1903. THE TRIBUNE has recently received several new exchanges, but one of the most commendable of them is The Pointer, published at Valdosta, Ga, and edited by Mr. J. L. Phillips and Mrs. I. E. Porkins, with Mr. G. Taylor as manager. May it live long to do good for the race. On Tuesday night last ex-President Cleveland spoke in New York at a meeting in the interest of Tuskegee Institute. His address is said to be a practical one. Some of the dalies in this section have commended the speech and others have condemned certain parts. In it all there is much comfort that can be gleaned. Some of our contemporaries in the state have been making slates for the next national convention. Many of these slates will be smashed. If some of these contemporaries would exert more energy in inducing our young men to become tax payers and registered voters, they would undoubtedly be doing more for the upbuilding of the party than making slates so early. GEN'L BALDWIN who was until recently in charge of Fort McPherson of this state, was reported as making the following statement: "One of my reasons for liking the Filipino as a soldier is the same that gives me preference for the Negro in the same capacity—in a fight I am not worried about, because, as it does, I am not given a difference nothing more to it. If a person owns a thoroughbred or full-blooded dog, is it not natural that he should prefer to have the our killed before the other?" Before the ink was dried on the newspaper publishing the above, the war department was called up by leading colored men for an explanation. No time was lost in communicating with the general who has denied the report in toto. If it was not for the prompt action of those colored men in this matter, the above mean report would have remained undenied. This only goes to prove that we should allow no untruthful or malignant statement go unrefuted. Purse on the Tongue. Furse on the tongue! I shall begin this article with a few quotations. "The boneless tongue, so small and weak, Can crush and kill, declared the Greek. "The tongue destroys a greater horde, The Link asserts, "than does the word." Admiral Dewey's criticism on the German navy created a sensation in Germany, a natural and logical one of courses. We ought to have some means of clipping some people's tongue or muzzling them. If men in public service always represented the sentiment of our nation we should be involved in many a difficulty with others. Silence is not only golden but it is frequently peace, shelter, bread and butter, a true friend and a seal on friendship. Do not talk much—either about yourself for that is bad taste and besides disgusting, or about others, for you may say something that will engender enmity and strife. Think much, speak little, neither your friend nor your enemies can condemn you for thinking. If Admiral Dewey was fully assured that the German navy was inferior to ours, he showed very poor judgment to mention it at this time, with the Venezuelan affair hardly cold. Silence was the chief trait of nearly all great soldiers. Napoleon, Von Moltke, Washington, Wellington, Marshall Saxe, Caesar, Hannibal, Gaughis Kahn, Grant, Lee and Jackson, Frederick the Great paid a very dear price for the wisdom of silence. Mrs. Homer frequently says when I get in one of my garrulous modes "Purse there is no danger in silence but there is peril in tonguing." I have had no other experience. She is quite correct. How many times have I regretted that I had tongued. Some day, my friend, your labor done. Think of the things slip from your tongue; I know that you will be surprise, So much that's follish and unwise Was said to friend or for you met, Which now you only can regret. Mrs. Homer wrote this poetry not I—Purse F. Homer. Hawkinsville Happenings There was a great deal of rain Sunday and lots of the Easter services were hindered. Miss Carrie Duchart spent Easter in Dublin. Mrs. Dollie Bozeman president of Sandridge Society Pulaski County, and Mrs. Lathrope president of Mattie Richland Society. Wilcox county visited the United States Zion on Monday of last week. The United Sisters of Zion are preparing for memorial services for Mrs. Oysten and others on April 20. Mr. and Mrs. Carter are re- joicing over the arrival of a baby at their home. Mr. N. T. Thompson of Wrightsville has moved his family to the city. Mrs. Margaret Harrell is very ill. The teachers all spent Sunday in town to attend the Easter services. town to attend the Easter services. Misses Georgia and Leila Love entertained "The Ladies Social Club on Friday of last week. Every one present reported, having enjoyed themselves. After the programme a very interesting game was had. A waiter was placed on the table covered with a towel and each member was handed a card and pencil to guess how many and the names of the different articles on the waiter. They were all household goods. Miss Pearl Daniels and Mrs. O. D. Newton were the prize winners. Two more ladies also joined the club. Programme: Song by the club, "Blessed Assurance"; Reading John 3:1-20 by the President; pr yer by Miss Rosa Daniels; Recitation by Miss Clifford Lewis; Solo, Mrs O. D.

Loyd, our junior deacon, a ten days protracted meeting was started March 30th, and several converts have accepted Christ. The celebration of Easter Sunday began with the dawn of the day. Morning praise at 5 a. m. Sermon by Rev. H. A. Sengatseke at 12 o'clock baptism by the pastor. At night the Sunday school exercises were celebrated as usual with great enthusiasm. As the music in this church is of high order than her sister churches, on account trained singers and various kinds of instrumental music employed people come gladly to celebrate the day of our risen Lord. OUR SCHOOLS. The public schools closed with a successful picnic at Lincoln Park, and we are all pleased with our teachers. The only school now in session is Sengstacke Preparatory Academy. It has an able principal, Miss Rebecca Sengstacke, who is assisted by three teachers. The departments are kindergarten, grammar, English High School, Music. OUR SISTER CHURCHES. Both our Methodist and Baptist churches are taking a deep interest in Easter celebration, and so we sang the same tune on this holy day "The Resurrection." CONGREGATIONALISM IN GEORGIA. There has never been a close bond of union between the colored and white Congregationalists of Georgia. We hope now since the white body, "The United Congregational Conference of Georgia" has united with the Florida Association, that the colored body known as The Georgia Convention will exercise manhood and race pride instead of claiming to be a mixed body when it really is not. We can now go back to our original system and let ministerial fellowship, church membership, and the licensing of licentiates be replaced in our state body. Since matters have turned out as they are I am in favor of disbanding our Savannah District Conference, and make our state body more prominent. One good strong body will save the churches money, and prevent the ordination of the uneducated to the gospel ministry in our Congregational churches. Instead of bowing down to the cast system, and lowering our standard to suit ignorance in order to gain a crowd; we should stand by our noble history of the vast. Our numbers are less than others, but our work, and workmen have no reason to be ashamed. THE PRESIDENT. Among all the great men who have occupied the presidential chair at Washington, there has been none greater than President Roosevelt. No wonder the brave Negro men side by side with their white brethren showed up at Chicago, and said among the many revolutions: "For your sublime moral courage you have our everlasting gratitude. We believe that your fame, like that of Lincoln, shall be enduring and shall rise higher and higher as years pass along, and should the sun of this Republic ever set, the last days of its departing glory shall linger and play upon a monument which shall have inscribed thereon your words." "Better all men up, than some men down!" - Dr. Simmonsite. Second Baptist Church. Last Sunday was a great day at the Second Baptist church. Services were unusually largely attended all day. At 11 a.m., the pastor Dr. Durham, preached and baptized a number of persons. At 3:30 p.m., the Lord's supper was administered to a large attendance of communicants. At 8:30 p.m., the Easter exercise of the Sunday school came off, at this service the church was crowded lower floor gallery and vestibule. The exercises were simply grand. Twenty-five prizes were awarded to members of the school for success in raising money. Little Miss Corilla Davis won first prize, which was a large, beautiful framed picture, representing Christian love. Last Monday night between eleven and twelve o'clock, the pastor's door bell rang, and he was awaken from sleep thinking some one ill or in distress and he had been sent for, he hurried down stairs to the door as quickly as possible and before opening the door asked, "who is there?" a voice from the out side answered, "Deacon Davis." The pastor opened the door and to his real surprise, in walked Dea. R. M. Davis, followed by Bros. Mark Anderson, Lewis Collier, and Sisters Katie Davis. Rosa Anderson, Sarah Haywood; Belle McAllister, Mary Hines, Eliza Chichester and Susie Walker singing "Bringing in the sheaves." After some very encouraging remarks by Bros. Mark Anderson and Dea. Davis and a response by the pastor, the party retired leaving with the pastor hams, bacon, flour, grits, rice, potatoes, onions, canned goods and other things for which the pastor is grateful to these good people. To morrow night at 8:15 the Bakers Circle Aid Branch will attend services. The pastor will deliver a discourse suitable to the occasion. By request the following anthems will be repeated by the choir on to-morrow night: Awake ye saints and sing; Awake glad soul; The risen Conqueror, Shout the victory. St. Philip's Dots. Easter at St. Phillips was most fittingly celebrated. The decorations were grand and in keeping with the occasion. At 5 a.m. the resurrection sermon was preached by Rev. Newton. Rev. W. O. P. Sherman, P. E., made a very fervent prayer. At 11 a.m. a large audience was present and a grand sermon was preached by Dr. Newton. At the close of the sermon baptism was administered. The Easter exercises of the Sunday school at 3 p.m. were very good. The superintendent and teachers deserve much credit for the training of the children. At 5 p.m, the Christian Endeavor exercises were well rendered. The solos, duets and quartets were enjoyed. The solo rendered by the pastor, Rev. Newton, was good, also the quartet by the Fransort sisters. President Miles and the program committee of the Endeavor must be congratulated on such an excellent get up for the occasion. Mr. S. H. Johnson was elected delegate to the electoral college to be held at Jesup April 27. Too much praise cannot be given those ladies who had charge of raising money to purchase a new carpet for the church. Thanks to the chairman and her corps of workers. Union Baptist Church The services at the Union Baptist church were largely attended. On Sunday night the pastor preached from the subject "She has seen better days." We have been very successful in our revival meeting. We received twenty-three converts The exercises were very nice indeed on last Sunday evening and being Easter the children enjoyed it very much. The program that was sent from the National B. P. B. was carried out which was very interesting. The revival meeting is still going on. All this week Rev. J. R. Willis of Dawson will preach for us.

The Evangelical Union. "And ye, beneath life's crushing load Whose forms are bending low. Who toil along the climbing way With painful steps and slow. Look now if for glad the golden hours Come swiftly on the wing; Oh I rest beside the weary road And hear the angels sing!" The Evangelical Ministers Union convened in regular session on Monday morning, the president, Rev. F. N. Simas, in the chin. The vice president was conducted by Rev. E. G. Gatin, who selected the 529th bymn "Did Christ o'r sinners weep," and read the lesson from the 126th Psalms. Owing to a large number, of important matters, presented for immediate consideration, at this juncture which included the reports of several committees and the ratification of the Charter, very little time was consumed in the usual "friendly" criticism upon the conduct of the devotional exercises. There were several visitors present and introduced to the union, including Mrs. Rev. R. H. Singleton, the chairman and accomplished president of the Woman's Home and Foreign Aid Association of the A. M. E. Church, and Mrs. Presiding Elder, E. M. Makiel, the efficient secretary, M. E. Marie Carter, the noted lecturer of New Orleans, and representative of the A. M. E. Review at Philadelphia, who delivered a short address. Rev. Pope of the evangelical fraternity was introduced. Our distinguished friend and colleague, Dr. Cooper, formerly of St. James A. M. E. Tabernacle passed through the city enroute to attend a meeting of the financial board of the A. M. E. Church at Philadelphia, in company with Dr. Coles, the Sunday School Missionary, both of whom dropped in to bid us "God-speed" on present, and once more the voice of Jupiter is heard as it vibrated and reverberated eloquence from the loft of Olivia, who shook the building from center to circumference. On motion of Rev. R. H. Singleton the charter was formerly ratified and on motion of Dr. Newton a committee was appointed to negotiate the final settlement for the charter, as follows: Reva C. W. Newton, E. Jonathan Nelson, James Jackson, and the president was requested to accompany said committee. The committee was further instructed to prepare suitable resolution expressing the sincere gratitude of the union to Messrs Edward S. Elliott and Wm. R. Leaken, attorneys, through whom the charter is procured. On motion of Dr. Singleton notice was given for an election of general officers of the union as provided by law said charter, at the next regular session. Sermonic reports as follows: Rev E. Makiell, reported a sermon from Hme 647; "He that believeth on me hath everlasting life," subject "Inverlasting life," in which the natural life was treated as mockery as compared with the spiritual life. The subject was wisely handled under several masterly thoughts and illustrations. Dr. Newton reported from Romans 7,2; subject "Immortality," which was a clear-cut and forceful exposition of the intrinsic value of this cardinal doctrine of the Christian religion in the immortality of the soul. The doctor far exceeded himself in logical reasoning and theological erudition of his outlines which at once places him in the front rank among modern pulpit orators. Rev Haddad, a most brilliant saint on Matt. 24th chapter, the leading thought being the Chancellor, the Resurrection. Dr. Bradley waxed ashe was warmed up with the salient feature of his subject, and indoctrinated on the matchless flexibility and vigilance of the women at the residence and throughout the passion of our Lord as compared with plaint indifference of men, not only at the resurrection but members of the church at all times. Rev W. Lively reported from Isa. 26,4; Trust in the Lord" which was a short, showing the necessity of patience trust, and confidence in God, and of faithfulness toward His people, etc. Each was criefised by Reva, Wells, Tashkens, Reva Sims and Sims revivals at Gaines Chapel, and Moumental, and extended by himself with benefaction by Jonathan Nelson, Secretary.

December 28, 1898 he was married to Miss Laura Louise Maxwell, and notwithstanding his failing health soon after marriage the union was a most bappy one, each eseming to live solely to make the other happy.

During the long illness the de. ceased bore up bravely and comfort- ed his wife by the exercise of patience and trust. About three months ago he went to Florida for the benefit of his health, but as the days came and yent, and it seemed that the end was near, he caine home on Friday of lust week, just in time to pass a few days among hia loved ones. ‘The funeral services were held at Beth-Eden Baptist church on Wed- nesday afternoon.

THE MAYOR AND THE COUNTY GOVERNOR There are two terrible signals of kidney illa The first signal comes from the back with numerous aches and pains. The second signal comes in the kidney secretions, the urine its thin and pale or too highly colored and showing "brick-dust-like" deposit. Urination is infrequent, too frequent or excessive. You should heed these danger signals before chronic complications set in—Diabetes, Dropsy, Bright's Disease. Take Doan's Kidney Pills in time and the cure is simple. J. F. Walwhright, of the firm of Bones & Walwhright, painters and contractors, Pulaski, Va., says: "Four or five times a year for the past few years I have suffered with severe attacks of pain in my back, caused from kidney trouble. During these spells I was in such misery from the constant pain and aching that it was almost impossible for me to stoop or straighten, and it really seemed as if the whole small of my back had given away. At times I also had difficulty with the kidney secretions, which were discolored, irregular and scalding, and I was also greatly distressed with headaches and dizziness. I used a number of recommended remedies, but I never found anything so successful as Doan's Kidney Pills. When I heard of them I had an attack and procured a box of them. In a few days the pain and lameness disappeared, the trouble with the kidney secretions was corrected and my system was improved generally. I have every confidence in Doan's Kidney Pills."

Young birds have to be taught a great many things, but there are some feats which they know without instruction. In a large open air cage in the New York Zoological Park is a convey of six California partridges, about one third grown, and their little bantam stepherm. She dozes at one end of the range or walks slowly about, pecking among the blades of grass. The small sextet keep close together, and if we watch them for several minutes, we will see some of the things which must have come to them as their feathers and little bills came—from the egg. Unlike the hen, they are suspicious of your every movement, but in a short time they forget that you are not a lifeless tree trunk or other harmless object near their cage. They select a sunny spot, always on the dead leaves, never on the green grass, and here, after much cuddling and pushing, but never a peep, they squat, usually in an irregular circle with heads outward. Unless there are dead leaves or some similarly colored surface in their cage, they never settle down contentedly for a sun bath. We watch them nestle close to the ground and close their eyes; then some movement on the part of the hen may attract our attention for a moment, and, on looking back again, we are amazed to find the little birds have disappeared. It is a fact that if we lose sight of them even for a short time, the eye at first refuses to distinguish them from the dried leaves. Their little backs are dull, dark brown in color, broken by irregular fine white lines, very much like the mold lines on fallen leaves, while the lighter sides of the head, instead of being at all conspicuous, are exactly like the lighter shades of some old leaves, the imitation being more perfect from the fact of the coloring being thus broken up. Even the little brush upraised feathers in their heads—hints of the beautiful recurved helmets of the old birds—appear like small, frayed out pieces of grass or leaf. If we look towards them with half-closed eyes not a trace of the birds is visible. All appear sound asleep, and the little heads sag drowsily to one side, but at the slightest noise each black head of an eye is wide open, and six scurrying pairs of legs, or rounded, whirring wings, carry their owners to the further side of the cage as if an unfelt wind had suddenly caught up some of the dead leaves before us and tossed them along the ground. It is all a beautiful bit of magic, which never becomes less wonderful, no matter how many times we witness it.—New York Tribune. B. B. B. SENT FREE.

"Last winter I was advised to try Peruna, and within five days the cold was broken up and in five days more I was a well man.
