VOL. XVIII. STIROVER FLOGGING Case of Mamie De Cris to be Subject of Investigation. GOVERNOR TAKES ACTION Georgia Legislature Also Demands to Know More of Genesation-Producing "Incident" Which Occurrd at State Prison Farm. There will be both executive and legislative investigation of the whipping of Mamie DeCris,the "diamond queen" at the Georgia state prison farm, located at Milledgeville. Governor Torrell, Monday, directed the prison commission to make a thorough investigation of the punishment of the DeCris woman, which has been denominated cruel and outrageous, and the commission has acted promptly. A telegram was sent to Dr. Alams, surgeon at the farm, directing him to wire at once all the particulars in the case. Chairman J S. Turner, of the prison commission, in pursuance of the governor's call for an investigation, at once directed Warden Jake Moore, of the penitentiary department, to proceed to Milledgeville and make a full investigation of the case. All the facts that have been brought out in connection with the case so far put the burden of the blame for the chastisement of Mamie DeCris upon Captain Alagood, assistant superintendent of the prison farm, and if the statements made are borne out by the evidence to be secured, it is freely stated among those who are watching the matter that the result will be his discharge from the service. State Senate Takes Action. Not only did the governor order an investigation through the prison commission, but the general assembly promptly took the matter up and will make an investigation of its own. Immediately upon the assembling of the senate, Senator McMichael was recognized for the introduction of the following privileged resolution: "Whereas, information has gone abroad through the press of the state that Miss DeCris, a white female prisoner at the state prison farm, at Milledgeville, has been cruelly treated by the authorities of said farm, that she has been forced to do work in the fields and elsewhere out of all proportion to her physical condition, and that she has been cruelly beaten to a degree far more severe than that ordinarily inflicted upon hardened criminals. "Therefore be it resolved. That a committee of two from the senate, appointed by the president, and three from the huose, appointed by the speaker, be sent at once to the prison farm to investigate the causes of the reports; to look into the provocation and the extent of the whipping inflicted, and report their findings to the governor and prison commission." Senator McMichael, in a strong speech, urged the adoption of the resolutions. He argued that if there we-truth in 'the newspaper reports the emergency was one calling for promot action on the part of the legislature, and if the reports were not true, it was due the state that this should be known. The resolution was adopted without a dissenting vote. Senators McMichael and Hudson were named as the senate members of the committee. OLD STORY REHASHED. Parents Leave Children in House and Usual Cremation Follows. At Welford, S. C., a small township near Spartanburg, Sunday night, four negro children were burned to death in a burning building. Charley Hines and his wife, well known colored people, left their home early in the evening in charge of their five children and went to a colored church, about a nile away, to attend services. While away the house caught on fire and burned down on the heads of four of the children. The oldest child, a boy about 10 years of age, jumped from a window and was saved. The others were burned to a crisp. Two Negroes Hanged in Birmingham, Alabama, for soliciting Alabama, for Highway Robbery.

Collapse of Crowded Stand Causes Four Deaths and Injury of Over a Hundred People at Philadelphia. Four persons are dead, at least twelve are thought to be fatally injured and 150 others hurt seriously as the result of an accident which occurred Saturday at the Philadelphia National League baseball park. A board walk that overhung the left field bleachers fell to the street, carrying 200 spectators with it. Besides the above noted casualties nearly 100 persons received fractures of limbs, lacerations of the head, broken limbs, contusions of the head and body, but their condition is not serious. Two games were scheduled between Boston and Philadelphia for the afternoon, and the attraction drew over ten thousand people to the ball park. The accident occurred at 5:40 o'clock, while the Boston team was at bat in its half of the fourth inning of the second game, and was directly due to a quarrel between two drunken men in the street. The National League stands are built of steel and brick, the brick wall extending entirely around the grounds. At the top of the left field seats, and extending from the grand stand to the end of the bleachers, there was a walk about three feet wide, which overhung the street. It was this walk that gave way under the heavy weight. Men who were standing on the walk were attracted by a disturbance in the street. They leaned over the rolling to see what the trouble was, and this drew the attention of other spectators, who rushed onto the walk. The walk became overcrowded and without a moment's warning 200 feet of it fell to the sidewalk, twenty feet below, carrying all who were on it. There were probably three thousand persons sitting in the left field bleachers, and the roar made by the falling timber created a panic. Instantly the spectators made a rush down the stand and into the playing field. Not knowing what had occurred, the ball players and others tried to stop the mad rush, but they were swept aside and several persons were badly hurt in the crush. Outside the grounds the scene was one of horror. For an entire block on Fifteenth street, from Huntingdon street to Lehigh avenue, mon and boys were lying writening in agony. Some were hurled under the wreckage, others were lying in the gutters and dozens were stretched out in Fifteenth street on the car tracks. The ten thousand persons within the grounds left the place and crowddw about the injured, of whom there were more than a hundred. Indescribable confusion reigned for a time, because of the great crowd. While waiting for conveyances to carry the victims to hospitals, thousands of willing hands looked after the injured. They were carried from the street and laid on the sidewalk, and some were taken into nearby private houses. All the houses in the vicinity were thrown open to the victims. GENERAL MILES RETIRED. After Long Service, Head of Army is Relieved of Active Duties. A Washington special ays: At 12 o'clock Saturday, Lieutenant General Young issued an order in accordance with the order of the president, assuming command of the army of the United States. At 10:30, under an order issued by Adjutant General Corbin, the officers in the army in Washington and vicinity, assembled at the army headquarters and paid their respects to the retiring Lieutenant General Miles. PETER LIVES IN TERROR. Troubles of Newly-Installed Servian Ruler Begin in Earnest. King Peter of Servia is being openly terrorized by his entourage, according to Belgrade advises. Most of the present court officials who actually participated in or were privy to the murder of King Alexander and Queen Draga, appear to have strongly objected to certain appointments made by Peter. SWING UP BOTH MEN Was Plea of Prosecuting Attorney in Jett and White Case.. At Cynthiana, Ky., Tuesday Attorney Golden finished his argument for the defense at 10 o'clock, and was followed by A. T. Byrd, the commonwealth attorney. Byrd closely followed the evidence and summed up his case in a masterly way, at the close demanding for the commonwealth of Kentucky that both the defendants be hanged. He begged the jury in the name of the children of James B. Marcum and the widow new living alone in Breathitt county to affix the death penalty. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. AUGUST 15. 1903. RULE OF LYNGHEES Deplored by President Roosevelt in Letter to Durbin. A REMEDY IS SUGGESTED Speedy Trial and Punishment for Helinous Crimee Would Stay Mob Justice—Growth of Lynching Cause of Great Alarm. In a letter, the publication of which was authorized Sunday, President Roosevelt commends Governor Durbin, of Indiana, for the attitude he assumed recently respecting lynching. The president also embraces the opportunity to express his own views in reference to lynching and mob violence, generally, pointing out that mob violence is merely one form of anarchy and that anarchy is the forerunner of tyranny. The president vigorously urges that the penalty for crimes that induce a resort to lynching shall be applied swiftly and surely, but by due process of the courts, so that it may be demonstrated "that the law is adequate to deal with crime by irceing 't from every vestige of technicality and delay." President Roosevelt's letter in part to Governor Durbin follows: "Oyster Bay, N. W., August 6, 1903, Mr. Dear Governor Durbin: Permit me to thank you as an American citizen for the admirable way in which you have vindicated the majesty of the law by your recent action in reference to lynching. I feel, my dear sir, that you have made all men your debtors who believe, as all far-seeing men must, that the well-being, indeed the very existence, of the republic depends upon that spirit of orderly liberty under the law which is as incompatible with mob violence as with any form of despotism. Of course mob violence is simply one form of anarchy; and anarchy is now, as it always has been, the handmaiden and foregunner of tyranny. "All thoughtful men must feel the gravest alarm over the growth of lynching in this country, and especially over the peculiarly hideous forms so often taken by mob violence when colored men are the victims; on which occasions the mob seems to lay most weight, not on the crime, but on the color of the criminal. In a certain proportion of these cases the man lynched has been guilty of a crime horrible beyond description; a crime so horrible that as far as he himself is concerned, he has forfelt the right to any kind of sympathy whatsoever. No Sympathy for Criminal. "The feeling of all good citizens that such a hideous crime shall not be hideously punished by mob violence is due not in the least to sympathy for the criminal, but to a very lively sense of the train of dreadful consequences which follow the course taken by the mob in exacting inhuman vengeance for an inhuman wrong. In such cases, moreover, it is well to remember that the criminal not merely elms against humanity in inexplicable and unpardonable fasion, but also particularly against his own race, and does them a wrong far greater than any white man can possibly do them. Therefore, in such cases the colored people throughout the land should in every possible way show their belief that they, more than all others in the community, are horrified at the commission of such a crime and are necessarily concerned in taking every possible measure to prevent its recurrence and to bring the criminal to immediate justice. The slightest lack of vigor, either in denunciation of the crime, or in bringing the criminal to justice is itself unpardonable. "Moreover, every effort, should be made under the law to expedite the proceedings of justice in the case of such an awful crime. But it cannot be necessary in order to accomplish this to deprive any citizen of those fundamental rights to be heard, in his own defense, which are so dear to us all and which lie at the root of our liberty. It certainly ought to be possible by the proper administration of the laws to secure swift vengeance upon the criminal; and the best and immediate efforts of all legislators, judges and citizens should be adressed to securing such reforms, in our legal procedure a to leave no vestige of excuse for those who undertake to wreak vengeance through violent methods. "The nation, like the individual, cannot commit a crime with impunity. If we are guilty of lawlessness and brutal violence, whether our guilt consists in active participation therein or in mere connivance and encouragement, we shall assuredly suffer later on because of what we have done. "Sincerely yours, "THEODORE ROOSEVELT." CONVICTS FOR COUNTIES. Roads in Georgia Will be Worked Free of Charge if Senate Amendments to Convict Bill are Approved. Georgia counties will get convicts on the public roads, after all, and those counties which desire to work them will not have to pay $120 per year as provided by the Knight-Howell substitute which passed the house several days ago. The state senate, at Monday's session, passed the convict bill by a vote of 36 to 2, with amendments which provide that counties wanting convicts can get them without any cost other than the maintaining of them. The counties which work them, however, cannot get any money derived from the hire of the convicts as is now the case. The amendment limits the felony convicts to those serving five-year terms and under. Several other minor amendments were passed. IMPRESSION COPY ALLEGED. More Sensational Testimony in Fight Over Collier Will at Atlanta. Over Collier Will at Atlanta. The most sensational testimony yet heard in the caveated Collier will case was given in the court of ordinary at Atlanta, Ga., Monday morning by George W. Collier, Jr., when among other things he declared that Judge J. N. Bateman had proposed to him that they "lock arms" in the matter of the control of the Collier estate, and in that way leave out Henry Collier, who is the third executor and to whom young Collier was at the time objecting. A. Montgomery, formerly with the Southern-Express Company, as a writing expert, was next placed upon the stand by the counsel for the Collier heirs. The witness testified that he had examined the document filed in the ordinary's office as the will of George W. Collier, and that he believed that it was an impression copy. W. A. Healey, accountant and auditor for the Atlanta and West Point railway, stated when placed upon the stand that it was his opinion that the alleged will is an impression copy and he thought it would be impossible to write such in a neat manner upon similar paper, especially the signature. SOUTHERN TRAIN WRECKED. Switch Turned by Some Miscreant/ None of the Passengers Hurt None of the Passengers Hurt. Train No. 35, the Southern railway's fast southbound train, was wrecked one mile north of Gastonia, N. C., at 11 o'clock Monday night, resulting in serious injury to Engineer Black and the colored fireman, and to Postal Clerks Birchfield and Sharpe. Southern railway officials declare that the train ran into an open switch, but passengers on the train say that the boiler exploded. The train was crowded, but no passenger was seriously hurt, though a number of people were bruised by the violence of the explosion. Later telephone messages from Gastonia indicate that No. 35 was deliberately wrecked, though the boiler of the engine had gone on the side track of the Ozark cotton mill. The switch had been turned and the red light that it always presents after being turned had been extinguished. Engineer Zeb Black, of Spartanburg, saw no light at the switch, and supposing that the track was safe, went ahead at full speed. Indiana Governor Says President Has Struck Keynote on Lynchings Struck Keynote on Lynchings. Governor Durban, of Indiana, Monday, sent a formal reply to the letter he received Sunday from President Roosevelt, concerning the recent mob at Evansville. Governor Durbin says, in part: "I feel that you have struck the keynote of a national necessity when you say all public men, all writers for the press, all clergymen, all teachers, all who in any way have a right to address the people, should with every energy unite to denounce such crimes and to support those engaged in putting them down, and declare the correlated doctrine that 'we must show that the law is adequate to deal with crime by freeing it from every vestige of technicality and delay.'" LASH USED ON MAMIE. "Diamond Queen" Flogged Into Submission at Georgia Prison Farm. Mamie DeCris, a convict, has been put under the lash at the state prison farm at Milledgeville, Ga., and beaten into submission. This took place last June, but the matter has been kept a secret until the present. Mamie, it will be remembered, was the young woman who last winter gained considerable notoriety as a much-wanted diamond thief—her adventures gaining her the nickname "Diamond Queen." CALAMITY IN PARIS Horror Results From Accident in Underground Road. EIGHTY-FOUR ARE DEAD Railway Cars Take Flro and Passengers, Cut Off from Escape, Meet Quick Death by Asphyxiation from the Dense Smoke. A special from Paris says: A catastrophe occurred on the Metropolitan electric railway, which runs mostly under ground, in which many persons lost their lives. The causes of the accident are engaging the attention of the officials. Several versions of the disaster are given, but the main facts which have been established are the following: Train No. 43 which caused the accident came from Porte Dauphine at the entrance to the Bols de Boulogne, in the western part of Paris and passing under the Place de L'Etolle, circled the northerly quarter of the city. In this northern quarter—a manufacturing, section—the train picked up numbers of working people returning to their homes. In reaching the neighborhood of the cemetery of Pere la Chalse the electric motor failed to act properly and the train waited at the station of Les Charonnes until the arrival of a second train which pushed the crippled train forward, making a total of sixteen coaches. After proceeding about 200 yards toward Menillmontant station, the damaged dynamo set fire to the engine of the first train. The fire burned fiercely, raising quantities of smoke. Simultaneously the electric lights on the train went out, leaving the passengers in total darkness, except ior the light of the burning engine far ahead. This impeded the progress of the trains toward Menillmontant. The terror-stricken passengers got out and tried to grope their way back. The powerful electric current which continued in the ralls is believed to have stunned or killed many. Eighty-four bodies have been recovered and the death list probably will exceed one hundred. The accident assumed the proportions of an awful catastrophe during the early, hours of Tuesday morning, when the more than four score bodies of the burned and subocated victims were removed from the subterranean passage. Crowds of weeping men, women and children were struggling around the tunnel entrance in an effort to recognize their missing relatives and friends. Most of the victims are from the middle and working classes, as the trains were carrying them home from their work. At 3:30 o'clock Tuesday morning firemen forced their way down through the tunnel station at Menilmontaht and returned soon afterwards with seven bodies, two men, two young boys and three women. These persons had been asphyxated, as their positions showed they had been groping through the smoke that filled the tunnel, seeking a way to escape, when they were overcome. Bodies in a Mass. At the second descent the firemen found a great number of bodies massed near the ticket office of the station, where many had evidently been overcome while seeking tickets. Farther on the firemen stumbled upon a terrible mass of bodies. These were the passengers of the burned train. They had leaped from the coaches when the fire broke out and groping through the suffocating clouds of smoke vainly sought the exit at Les Charonnes station. The number of corpses brought up from the angle where the mass was wedged, was so large that four and eight bodies were placed in each ambulance. Many of the victims had handkerchiefs stuffed in their mouths, having evidently tried to keep out the asphyxiating smoke. Some women held their children tightly in their arms. CZAR DEMANDS REPARATION. Turks Must Pay In Blood for Murder of Russian Consul. The czar of Russia has demanded the exemplary punishment not only of the murder of the Russian consul at Monastir, Macedonia, who was killed by Turkish gendarmes, but of all the military and civil officers in any way responsible for the crime. The assassination of the consul—M. Rostkovski—the second murder of a Russian consular official in Macedonia within a few months, has created intense indignation in St. Petersburg. NO 45. MAMIE TELLS HER STORY. Young Woman Convict Says She Was Whipped Because She Would Not Yield Honor to Prison Warden. A special from Milledgeville, Ga., says: Warden Jake Moore, accompanied by Official Stenographer J. S. Crawford, arrived at prison farm Tuesday morning to investigate the whipping of Mamie DeOrlis, the young woman convict. The investigation was made public and witnesses were instructed by Warden Moore not to be afraid to tell all they knew, as he wanted the facts, and would protect them. Miss DeCris testified that the real cause of the whipping was that Warden Allagood made improper proposals to her one day. On the first of June, while in his office, he tried to caress her, which she resented; that he then went into another room and sat on a bed, calling her to come there. "Instead of going to him I weat down stairs," she testified. "He told me that if I ever told what he had said that he would make it hot for me, and he certainly has kept his word. I saw him at one time kiss a white woman prisoner in the sick ward, and at another time saw him in the barn with a negro woman prisoner, she lying on the hay and he standing by her. "I told one of the other white women of the improper proposals made by Allagood, and she told me if I was that kind of a woman it would be well for me to do what Allagood said if I wanted to have an easy time, but if I was not that kind to resist. "Captain Allagood learned what I had told and went to the field where the woman was at work and forced her to tell him what I had said. Before this I had many privileges. These were afterwards all denied me. "The evening before the whipping I talked with Mrs. Allagood, but used no disrespectful words, but when she ordered me to stop talking and go back to my room I refused, and when Warden Allagood returned he was told by Mrs. Allagood and he whipped me." When questioned as to how many licks, she said she did not know, but that she was bruised so badly that she could not sit down for several days, and that he had to put greased cloth on places for some time; was forced to work in the field with negro women for two weeks, and nearly fainted in the field once. One witness testified that Miss DeCris told her of improper proposals made by Allagood; that she heard the licks and heard Miss DeCris' cries; afterwards she saw the bruises, and that they were very severe. Captain Allagood testified that the charges were utterly false, without the semblance of truth; that he never made improper proposals to any one, but that Miss DeCris was mad about her privileges being cut off to some extent on account of her unruly and impudent conduct; that she had been treated more kindly than any other prisoner they ever had, but she did not appreciate what was done for her. "Her ways were utterly destructive of discipline and I whipped her after the physician had pronounced that she was able to stand it. The punishmeat was mild and did not hurt her much. The charges are all inspired by anger and are false. I can face the result with confidence." Referring to the matter of sending the woman to work in the fields so shortly after the whipping, Captain Allagood said: "I wanted her to see what it meant to work in the fields. I was disciplining her for her subordination, and I wanted to show her how easy a time she was having in the house. She was living as easy a life as many women do who are out of prison. Her work was of the lightest character, and she had no reason to complain." ROOT TO TENDER RESIGNATION. Will Be Relieved Before Assuming Duties on the Alaskan Commission. A Washington special says: Before Secretary Root sails for London-to sit with the Alaskan commission he will place his resignation in the hands of President Roosevelt in order that the president may appoint a secretary of war, if it is deemed necessary during Mr. Root's absence. It is expected, however, that the resignation will not be acted upon until after congress meets. TAX COLLECTOR RETURNS HOME. Owen Decides to Settle His Account With State of Alabama. J. E. Owen, tax collector of Russell county, Alabama, who it was alleged had fled the country, arrived in Montgomery-Saturday mornings, accompanied by Judge H. T. Benton and his attorney, both of Seale, en route to his home in Russell county. Several days ago the governor instructed the attorney general to bring suit against Tax Collector Owen f.r. his failure or refusal to settle with the state, his indcbtedness, it was alleged, being over three thousand dollars.

SATURDAY AUGUST 15, 1903. Our afternoon contemporary and in fact the entire white press of Georgia are against the whipping of of white women in the state prisons. Why are they only against the whipping of white women who are prisoners? A white criminal is no better than a colored one and all of them should be treated alike. We are against the whipping of any prisoner, be he white or black. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S letter to Indiana's governor on the lynching question was along the right lines. Gov. Durbih needs to be commended for his excellent stand against mob law and it well behooved the President to give him commendation. Not only is he commended by the President but by all right thinking Americans. The President's letter had the proper ring about it. MR. JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES and other men who advocate lynching state that it will continue as long as the crime that causes it is committed. The crime that they allude to is that of assault ion women. In recent years the record shows that three-fourths of the lynching was done for crimes other than that of assault. This proves easily that Mr. Graves and his ilk are bad reasoners. If they are good American citizens they would protest against lawlessness of every kind. GOVERNOR TERRELL of Georgia concedes the whole lynching case to the mob when he says that "no law, however strictly enforced, will absolutely stop lynching for rape." That inch of concession will become an ell by usurpation. All experience shows that the toleration of any form of lawlessness leads to general lawlessness. Our present unhappy condition is directly due to the indulgence given to lynching for rape. The community which excused one piece of barbarism could not take effective measures against other manifestations of the same spirit. It was timid about punishing lynchers who killed mere thieves, or even innocent persons lest it should seem to condemn lynching for rape or make the Negroes "sancy." The man who stands for law with an "if" does not stand for law at alt. He who says that the law can not be made the adequate instrument to punish even the most strictocious crime brings an indictment against law and civilization itself. To say that lynching for rape must be endured is to say that government is unable to cope with its problems, but is obliged to call in the aid of anarchy only, it is explained, less frequently than it has been in the habit of doing—New York Tribune. Grand Chapter Session. The fifth annual session of the Grand Chapter, Order of Eastern Star of Georgia, was held at American last week. Promptly at 10 o'clock on Tuesday morning in the spacious, beautiful building of the Widows and Orphans Home, Grand Royal Matron, Mrs Viola E. Hart, sounded the gavel which called the chapter to order. With only three exceptions every officer was at the post, and the impressive ceremonies of opening the Grand Chapter were gone through with. After the preliminaries of opening, etc., the Grand Chapter was called off to reconvene at 2:30 p. m., to witness the opening program. At this session the public was invited. The Grand Chapter was callon in the afternoon and the program as advertised in this column last week was carried out. The welcome address delivered by little Miss Raymond Hill of the Juvenile of Americus was well received and the response by Miss May H. Johnson, Myrtle Chapter, Stillmore, was also enjoyed, as was also the recitation and solo by little Miss Mattie Sue Hart of Americus Juvenile. The paper by Mrs. Priscilla C. Burgess of Mt. Moriah Chapter, Savannah, gave much food for thought and inspired the members to consider the widows and orphans. The music during this session was furnished by the Americus Juvenile, little Hart acting as organist. It was greatly enjoyed. The program being finished, the Grand Chapter resumed its proceedings and the various committees were appointed by the Grand Patron; after which the grand chapter was called off to meet at 9 o'clock on Wednesday. On Wednesday morning the grand chapter was called on and the business resumed. The reports of officers were made. The annual address of the Grand Patron was made, in which no phase of the work of the Grand Chapter was Several recommendations were made that will when put in operation greatly aid in the upbuilding of the chapters over the state. The endowment feature which has been in operation only since October 1902, it was seen has proven a success; having collected $500.25. The Grand. Patron insisted that the laws governing this feature be enforced to the letter. The rules and regulations governing the Juvenile Society was also presented and will be printed and distributed. During the year six new chapters have been formed, four by Deputy S. S. Mincey, one by the Grand Patron and one by Deputy McNair. The Grand Patron also recommended that during the following year a contest be conducted by the various chapters to raise money for furnishing the W.' and O. Home which was left optional to the individual chapters, but it is hoped that all will enter the contest. A few chapters were absent from the meeting and it is hoped that they will endeavor to be represented at the next convening. Almost every chapter in the state has paid the $5.00 asked for to assist in the furnishing of the home and it is expected that those who have not done so will respond. A telegram was received from Bro. W. H. Burgess regretting his inability to be present and sending us fraternal greeting. Grand Master Butler of the Grand Lodge A. F. and A. M., also sent a long letter of congratulation and encouragement, both of which inspired the delegates. After the report of the various committees the Grand Chapter was called off until 2:30 p. m.

H., which was received by a vote of thanks. By an overwhelming majority of votes it was decided that the next session of the Grand Chapter be held in Savannah. The Grand Chapter by unanimous vote endorsed the Wage Earners Loan and Investment Company of Savannah, and selected it as its depositary. After the finishing of all business, Mrs. J. C. Miller was requested to exemplify the various degrees, which she did in a graceful and proficient manner. The Grand Chapter was then called off in ample form. On Wednesday evening Pearl Chapter of Americus, entertained the delegates at the home of Mrs. Wells, and on Thursday lunchson was served at noon by Mrs. Hart. In the afternoon of Thursday all the remaining delegates left for their various homes. Military Celebration The twenty-third anniversary of the First Battalion Infantry, Georgia State Troops, Colored, will be celebrated on Tuesday next.

Local Brevities. Mr. A. J. Kitchens of Americus, ordered THE TRIBUNE to be sent to his address. Miss Maude Spencer, accompanied by her little sister, Lucile, left on Tuesday of last week for Millen, where she will spend awhile with her relatives. Work was begun on Mt. Tabor Baptist Church, Anderson Street, on Monday last. The work will be pushed to completion as fast as possible. Rev. N. H. Whitmire asks the support of the public in the same. Miss M. M. Cummings of Augusta, is in the city spending awhile the guest of Mrs. O. M. Brinson, 911 West Broad street. Miss Cumming is one of Augusta's prominent young ladies, and the daughter of Capt. and Mrs. R. G. Cummings. Mrs. R. N. Rutledge who has been spending awhile at Daufuskie on account of her health, returned home not much improved. On account of her illness, Mr. R. N. Rutledge did not attend the grand lodge session of Odd-Flows which was held in Atlanta this week. Miss Laura P. Lemona, A. M. Secretary to Rt. Rev. H. M. Turner D. D., and Miss Eliza A. Turner the grand daughter of Bishop Turner of Atlanta are in the city and are the guests of Rev. and Mrs. J. A. Hadley of St. James. Miss Lemona is an accomplished young lady and possesses the genius which has made her famous as an author. Her presence in the city is hailed with much delight. On last Monday night at a rather late hour a band of ladies known as the Loving Five assisted by several young gentlemen gave a surprise party at the residence of Mrs. Emma Butler, 822 Gwinnett street, east. The friendly mid-night intruders after gaining admission to the house enjoyed themselves in various ways of amusement. The jolly crowd made no excuse for their late visit, but so well did they pay for it other wise, they were invited to call again at any hour. Moore's resort at Cattle Park is becoming very popular.

Sensible View of "Race S F late years I never see a fishing fleet set sail without pleasure, thinking this is based upon the form which is probably to prevail generally. Not a man in the boats is paid fixed wages. Each gets his share of the profits. That seems to me the real. It would be most interesting if we could compare the results of a fleet so manned and operated with one in which men were paid fixed wages; but I question whether such a fleet as the latter exist. From my experience, I should say a crew of employees vs. a crew of partners would not be in the race. The great secret of success in business of all kinds, and especially in manufacturing, where a small saving in each process means fortune, is a liberal division of profits among the men who help to make them and the wider distribution the better. There lie latent unsuspected powers in willing men around us which only need appreciation and development to produce surprising results. Money rewards alone will not, however, insure therefor to the most sensitive and ambitious natures there must be the note of sympathy, appreciation, friendship. Genius is sensitive in all its forms, and it is unusual, not ordinary, ability, that tells even in practical affairs.

OCIOLOGISTS continue to discuss "race suicides vigorously brought into the forefront of public part of the year by the President's pronouncement a long inning and its topical interest is still haunted. In the North American Review, one gentleman who has "for many years been publicly in the interest of many kinds of society considers to be the common-sense end of the main things because they need to be said." He prepares from the President's expressions on the subject letter, and in letters to begetters of large families approach the physical status of rabbits there. His own view is that "we need better citizens no reason for a man bringing into the world than he is able to care for," which practice, he concludes, and a state of social degeneracy for the rest. He said, some courage, he denies "that the sexual solely for the propagation of the human race is a mere assumption and that it is contrary to human too, that marriage is solely an institution for the and the unlimited propagation of children and that the present generation is entitled to a good happiness, and that its claim to them should not be sent to the claims of the next generation. The choice of women which has come about is a large numerical size of families. "The wives are no longer some of the comforts of life," says the writer, asks. Why, indeed? will be the answer on. Les as Bacteria Carry Some Experiments at Johns Hopkins University---From the Scientific In the theory that flies may be active as of bacteria, there is, of course, nothing demonstration made under the auspices of University, which has been recently brought by a member of the medical staff of that worthy of record. The experiments were box that was divided into two compartments, which was exposed some food material easily recognizable species of bacteria—being used—while in the second compartment was training a sterile nutrient such as is used as a culture were placed in the first compartment, and, as it has been seen to walk upon, or eat of, the infected to pass through a small door into the second compartment, a chance to come in contact with the culture it was that bacteria deposited upon the surface of there, and formed characteristic colonies. These experiments no乳asses mixed with a growth on a plate in the first compartment, and a dozeATUS. Half an hour later the door between the need, and as soon as several of the files had been in the sterile nutrient, the dish that contained it was develop. A few days later there had grown on colonies of yellow bacteria. The experiment was at cultures, and colonies of corresponding color wereove that the germs from which these colonies go material in the first compartment, and not from experiments were made with other groups of flies, in the first compartment. In this case, however, the second compartment developed yellow, red or other that the flies were the only means of transients were made with infected material, in the first flies in the apparatus. The dishes containing the fruits also developed no colonies. OCIOLOGISTS continue to discuss "race suicide." His question, vigorously brought into the forefront of public concern in the early part of the year by the President's pronouncement has had quite a long inning and its topical interest is still far from being exhausted. In the North American Review, one "Pacifamilias," a gentleman who has "for many years been laboring privately and publicly in the interest of many kinds of social reform" takes up what he considers to be the common-sense end of the argument and says "some plain things because they need to be said." He protests that the logical deduction from the President's expressions on the subject, his famous prefatory letter, and in letters to begetters of large families, is that "the nearer Americans approach the physical status of rabbits the more patriotic they become." His own view is that "we need better citizens, not more of them," and he sees no reason "for a man bringing into the world a larger number of children than he is able to care for," which practice, he contends means death for some and a state of social degeneracy for the rest. With funkness and, it must be said, some courage, he denies "that the sexual relations a function designed solely for the propagation of the human race" avering that this theory is a mere assumption and that it is contrary to human experience. He denies, too, that marriage is solely an institution for the promotion of self-sacrifice and the unlimited propagation of children and misery. In short, he believes that the present generation is entitled to a goodly share of well-being and happiness, and that its claim to them should not be made completely subservient to the claims of the next generation. The change in the economic condition of women which has come about is a large factor in the diminution of the numerical size of families. "The wives are no longer pack-mules, but are getting some of the comforts of life," says the writer. "Why shouldn't they?" he asks. Why, indeed? will be the answer of many women and some men. Some Experiments at Johns Hopkins University----From the Scientific American. course, being used—while in the second compartment was placed an open dish containing a sterile nutrient such as is used as a culture medium for bacteria. Fles were placed in the first compartment, and, as soon as a number of them had been seen to walk upon, or cut of, the infected material, they were allowed to pass through a small door into the second compartment, where they had a chance to come in contact with the culture medium in the dish. The result was that bacteria deposited upon the surface of the sterile nutrient, multiplied there, and formed characteristic colonies. In these experiments molasses mixed with a growth of yellow bacteria was spread on a plate in the first compartment, and a dozen files were put into the apparatus. Half an hour later the door between the two compartments was opened, and as soon as several of the files had been seen to come in contact with the sterile nutrient, the dish that contained it was covered and put away to develop. A few days later there had grown on the nutrient over a hundred colonies of yellow bacteria. The experiment was repeated with red and violet cultures, and colonies of corresponding color were obtained. To prove that the germs from which these colonies grew came from the infected material in the first compartment, and not from accidental sources, further experiments were made with other groups of files, but with no infected material in the first compartment. In this case, however, none of the dishes used in the second compartment developed yellow, red or violet colonies. To prove further that the files were the only means of transmitting the bacteria, experiments were made with infected material. In the first compartment, but with no files in the apparatus. The dishes containing the nutrient in these experiments also developed no colonies. Amateurs vs. Professionals. By the Editor of Harper's Weekly.

It is a pity, then, that the professional player of old set the fashion for amateurs, and it is especially to be regretted spirit of professionalism has invaded the colleges, whose athletics not only secondary, but an expression of the joy of life, certainly wild, side.

SUCH LOVELY ROWS! Altho we turn our backs to you. We are not rude you know. For nurse has tied each little sash. In such a lovely bow! GRUMBLING KATIE Katie had reached an age when she grumbled from morning till night. If it rained, she longed for sunshine; if the sun shone forth in all his glory, she wanted rain to make a puddle in the yard, and so things were going There is another fox an from bad to worse, and worse to even worse than that. One morning Jack, her big brother, called to her from the porch, where he stood with his schoolbooks under his arm. "Come out here a minute, sis. I want to show you something." "Oh, I can't," responded Katie. "My face aches and my shoestring's broken; and it's going to rain, too." "For pity's sake, Katie, do be cheerful, please," Jack replied. "You are always complaining." Seeing nothing to indicate that Katie was coming, Jack slung his pack of books over his shoulder, and, whistling a merry tune, went off to school. Katie stood for a moment disconcertedly peering between the curtains at her big brother, whom in her innermost heart she adored. "I wonder if he does think I am always complaining," she thought. "He didn't wait for me, though, and I think A girl opening a curtain. he's a mean old thing anyway," But, orange to say, a tear or two rolled slowly down the child's chubby cheek. All day long at school Jack's words cooled in Katie's heart and mind, "Complaining, complaining, complaining, "she finally cried in despair. "I wish Jack had never said that to me. I am so sick of that horrid old word." "Why not stop it, then, my dear, said Aunt Alice, who sat sewing near by. "I overheard what you were saying and have wondered for a long time why my sweet little Katie didn't try to overcome that fault." "Oh. Aunt Alice," Katie replied, throwing herself into her aunt's arms, "I am going to try, but anyway Jack was cross to me this morning." "Jack was only in a hurry, that was all," said Aunt Alice, a twinkle creeping into her eye. "Boys haven't as much patience as girls, you know." Katie dried her eyes, and with a smiling face then and there set herself to work to show her mother and father and indeed all the household that she could and would stop grumbling. Nora, the cook, questioned long and loud as to what had happened to "Miss Kattle," and asked Aunt-Alice quietly if she thought she was slick.

The performer takes the stem of a broken clay pipe or a straw and, holding it perpendicular to his mouth, places a pea quickly upon the upper end. Then he makes the pea hop up and down to a lively tune on the piano. The whole trick consists in sticking a long thin needle into the pea. This forces it always to return to its place. A piece of thin wire can be used instead of the needle, which, in order to remain invisible, should not be bright and shining. Care must be taken that the needle or wire is fastened well into the pea, so that it will not drop into the performer's mouth—New York World.

Eggs with Tomatoes.—Fry some ripe tomatoes in a very little butter, pulp them through a coarse sleeve; beat up three or four eggs (according to the size of your dish), add to the tomato, and then scramble as you would eggs alone. Season with pepper and salt and serve on buttered toast. Asparagus in Cream.—Wash and trim a bunch of green asparagus cut into small pieces; cover with boiling water and blanch for about three minutes. Then pour off the water and drain asparagus well. Put into another saucepan with a little warm water, a tablespoonful of butter, teaspoonful of sugar and a large slice of onion. Set over the fire, where it will simmer slowly for half an hour; remove the onion and add a cup of cream thickened with one egg; season to taste with pepper and salt, and serve. Fish and Rice for Breakfast.—Put half a cup of bolled rice and one table-spoonful of butter in a stewpan; when hot add the same amount of minced cold cooked fish; season with salt and pepper; add two hard bolled eggs, chopped; serve with toast; cold cooked cod, haddock, turbot and sole are the preferable fish to serve in this manner; a dash of nutmeg is an improvement. Small Soda Biscuit.—One quart of sifted flour, three level teaspoons of baking powder, half a teaspoon of salt and butter the size of an egg. Sift flour, powder and salt together several times and mix well, then rub in the butter with a flexible knife until well mixed. Gradually mix in sufficient cold milk to make a soft smooth dough, roll out on a slightly floured board about an inch thick, and cut out with a small biscuit cutter. Bake for ten minutes in a quick oven. Sour milk and soda may be used instead of the sweet milk and baking powder. Sift the soda with the dry ingredients, allowing half a teaspoon to cup of milk. VALUE OF FOMENTATION. GOOD HEALTH says that the fomentation is a simple and convenient means of making a local application of heat to the body. It consists of a cloth wrung out of hot water and folded in another dry cloth. The use of an agent so simple and yet so important for the relief of suffering should be familiar to every household. There is no agent that can be employed in more different ways with benefit than the fomentation. Pain quickly yields to its magic touch. Inflammation is readily reduced by its power to control the circulation. When applied very hot and only for a short time it is a local tonic; when moderately hot and prolonged, it is a sedative. Its use is indicated in every case where a poulletice, a porous plaster or a blister is commonly employed. A blister will sometimes relieve pain by acting at a counter-irritant, but a very hot fomentation is to be preferred, since it is a perfect counter-irritant minus the unpleasantness of the blister. Spraya and gargles have their place in the treatment of sore throat and tonsils by their superficial action on the mucous membrane; but they do not affect the deep congenition of the tissues like a fomentation to the neck, large enough to extend over a part of the face and shoulders. This produces a dilatation of the blood vessels in a large area of the skin, allowing more blood to flow to the part and less to the mucous membrane of the throat. This same principle applies to the treatment of all deep congestions, as of the liver, lungs, stomach and other internal organs. COOKING ACCESSORIES. Among the new supplies for the kitchen are some handy little articles for the use of cooks of a scientific turn of mind, as well as for inexperienced cooks. With the aid of the thermometer there is no need of putting the cake into an oven that is too hot or too cold, or of one cooking eggs or anything else that requires just so many minutes. The kitchen thermometer is, indeed, an indispensable article to would-be good cooks. A new device is the microscope, which serves a very essential purpose in washing and cooking fruits and vegetables and of deciding by the state of the meat the exact time and methods for cooking it. This invaluable little kitchen utensil brings to the light all lurking bacteria which would otherwise find a way into the stomach. The household indicator, which lists all supplies, is another important culinary factor, and by its means one can know even to a box of matches just what has been ordered, thus simplifying the rather complicated books and bills—Brooklyn Eagle. Plant That Keeps Off Mosquitoes. There would appear to be some hope for those who suffer from flies, gnats, and wasps in summer time. Capt. H. D. Larymore, who has recently presented a growing specimen of the "mosquito plant" to Kew Gardens, writes thus in the Times concerning it: "I can personally testify to the extraordinary effect which is produced on mosquitoes by the pleasant odor of its fresh leaves, and by placing two or three growing pots of the plant in each room and along the windward veranda, a house can be kept practically free of those insects. I am really anxious to know,whether the aforesaid "mosquito plant" will flourish out of doors and in this country. If so, its proprietors will probably make a fortune. The "mosquito plant" would be invaluable; but I am terribly afraid we shall presently hear that it will not flourish in the open air in this country—London Graphic. At the anniversary meeting of the Royal Geographical Society of England the medals and awards which are given annually for the encouragement of geographical science and discovery were presented. In the course of an address the president said that Captain Sverdrup, in completing our knowledge of the Parry Archipelago, had also completed our general knowledge of Arctic geography. The whole problem of Arctic geography had now been solved. There were many isolated pieces of work that would have to be undertaken, but none which would justify the dispatch of an expedition on a large scale. With regard to the Antarctic regions, he said that the German expedition had the great advantage of having selected one of the two best routes for Antarctic discovery. He concluded by saying that the Morning would go south again next December. Mr. Russell, the Government astronomer of New South Wales, thinks he has discovered the secret of Australian droughts. He has the rainfall records for 1867-1903, a period of thirty-six years; he finds that they resolve themselves into four alternating groups of roughly nine years each, with an average rainfall of 29.47 inches, 21.64 inches, 28.39 inches, and 20.24 inches, respectively. This seems to show, Mr. Russell argues, that drought comes in cycles, and the cycles correspond with the relations of the moon to the A WELL-MEANT EFFORT. RAY of sunshine touched the rings on Hester Palmer's right hand as she raised her coffee cup. "And what do you wish me to do, father?" The gray haired man looked across the table. "Look out for my two visitors," he said. "Explain to them that a telegram calls me away from home, and that I must spend an hour in the city. If I catch the 8.30 I can return by the 10.30. He looked at his watch. "Fifteen minutes to reach the station." He drew, away from the table. "Hold them both here until I get back." "Just mention their names again, father." His eyes opened a little wink. "I am sorry for that. And ways seemed so very kind. He is too kind," said Hely. "And too easily impostor. That's the penalty of his pathetic heart," said the boy. How indifferently he sped How toughened he must be. "You are not so old as you be," said Hester. "I am older than I look, said. I feel at times that old enough. It's really a with most people." "You have been in your pess for some time," she said. "Nearly ten years," he an went at it pretty young. "John Hammond and Barclay Hill. You've heard me speak of John. He's a son of old Jared Hammond, and no earthly good. Fellow full of visions. Nothing practical about him. Always hard up. Of course he's coming for a loan. I've no idea how much he owes me. Poor visionary vagabond. "But why do you let him impose upon you, father? "Case of soft heart, I guess, dear. I know his old father so well, and -I'd hate to think he might be in actual want. Better keep him here until I get back. I'll investigate him sharply this time, and if he isn't perfectly frank with me I'll turn him adrift for good and all." "Easy, old daddy," laughed the girl. "And who is the other man?" "Barclay Hill," the confidential adviser of Barham & Goldie. Looks after all their legal business, you know, and gets a whopping big salary. Wonderful head for figures. Goldie told me they trusted everything to him. He's coming here to settle a little deal that we have planned together. If it goes through, my dear, it means six months abroad for the pair of us. There, I'll have to hustle for the train." And he hurried into the hall and a moment later was gone. Hester Palmer tucked back a few straggling locks and smoothed down the folds of her pretty gown. "It's a shame," she murmured, "that papa allows himself to be so dreadfully imposed upon. Son of an old friend, indeed! As if that relieved the man from all the ordinary moral obligations. I'll see what I can do to convince him to the contrary." And then Hester's attention was arrested by the click of the iron gate at the foot of the lawn. A man was coming up the gravel walk. He was a tall man, attired in black, a man with gray hair and gray beard. He was pale and stooped a little, and his glasses covered a pair of bright gray eyes. He took off his soft hat and gravelly bowed to Hester. "Is Mr. Richard Palmer at home?" Hester smiled down at him from the porch. What a strong old face it was and what fine gray eyes. And the poise of the head—no wonder the shoulders stooped under the burden of garnered wisdom. "My father is not in. He was suddenly called to the city. He expects to return, before noon, and he begs you to wait." "I thank you," he said. "I will cheerfully wait." Hester ushered him in. "You will find it cool here in the study, sir. There are papers and books that may interest you. Make yourself quite at home." "Thank you, young lady," said the elderly man, as he dropped into the easiest chair. "And might I ask you for a biscuit and perhaps a cup of tea? The walk has been a little fatiguing." "Certainly," cried Hester. "I will send the maid with them." She gave the order and was turning back toward the study when she was stopped by a merry whistle. Somebody was coming up the walk. She went to the door. A young man was approaching and whistling as he approached. He was dressed in a gray summer suit, and a straw hat dangled from one of his hands. He stopped short when he caught sight of Hester. His whistle stopped, too. "I beg your pardon," he said with a sudden smile. "I'm afraid I was a little noisy." Hester admitted to herself that his face wasn't wholly weak. If anything it was more inclined to be crafty. There was a twinkle about his eyes that she didn't apprope. And he seemed altogether too free in his manners. "You have called to see my father?" she said in her coldest tones. "I think I may safely answer yes," he replied with a little bow. "That is, if I can take it for granted that I am addressing the charming daughter of Mr. Richard Palmer." "I am Miss Palmer." Helen answered. "Will you come in? My father expected you. He has been called away, but will return before noon. He requested me to ask you to wait." "Thank you for conveying the message," said the young man as he followed her into the roomy library. "Of course I will wait. I am used to waiting." Hester pictured him waiting outside the doors of his victims for the crumbs they might see it to toss him. What right had he to appear so careless and indifferent? She pointed to a chair and he seated himself. She took a chair on the opposite side of the room. She must not neglect the little sermon she had mentally promised him. "My father has spoken of you," she said. "Indeed. Agreeably, I hope?" Hester hesitated. "Not entirely." A Hester ushered him in. ANT EFFORT. His eyes opened a little wider. "I am sorry for that. And he has always seemed so very kind." "He is too kind," said Hester quickly. "And too easily imposed upon." "That's the penalty of having a sympathetic heart," said the young man. How indifferently he spoke of this. How toughened he must be. "You are not so old as I supposed you to be," said Hester. "I am older than I look, I fancy," she said. "I feel at times that I don't look old enough. It's really a drawback with most people." "You have been in your present business for some time," she said. "Nearly ten years," he answered. "I went at it pretty young." "You like it?" "Oh, yes. It's second nature to me now." "You do not find it distasteful?" "No." He looked at her curiously. A rather singular girl she seemed to him—and singularly attractive, too. "I know something about your mission here," she said in freezing tones. "Do you?" "Yes, and I do not approve of it." "You do not approve of it? May I ask why?" "It does not appeal to me. I have told my father so." "May I ask what he said?" "You know his kind heart." "Perhaps nobody knows it better." "Well, he declined to take my advice." "Which means?" "That you are to wait." "But there seems to be a lot of money in it." "I believe," said Hester, sarcastically, "that that is a peculiarity of all your schemes." The visitor slightly flushed. "I will admit," he said, "that I have been reasonably fortunate." Hester stared at him. That flush upon his cheek was actually a blush of pride. "And yet I beg of you," she said, "not to work upon his feelings again. It distresses him to think of saying no to you, and yet there must be a stop to this." The visitor slightly straightened up, "I wonder what your father could have said concerning me?" he said. "It seems to have greatly prejudiced you." Before Hester could speak again a sudden interruption drove the repartee from her lips. There was a sharp crash as of some solid body falling from a height and striking on an equally solid object. Hester sprung up and turned toward the door of the inner apartment. "Was it here?" queried the visitor, as he hurried forward and faced the study door. "And may I have your permission?" And without waiting for an answer he quickly opened the door. It was a small room and its contents were taken in at a glance. The chief of these was the venerable stranger. He was stretched back in the easy chair with his feet on another chair, sound asleep. And from his half-open mouth came a prolonged muttering. He had eaten his biscuits and emptied his tea cup. It was the fall of this cup from the table to the floor that had aroused Hester and the young man. But it did not arouse the sleeper. For a moment the two stared into the room, and then Hester drew back and motioned to the young man to close the door. He latched it softly and turned to Hester. There was a question in his glance. "A friend of the family," said Hester stiffly. "His face seems familiar," the young man remarked. "I'm sure I have seen him before." "Very likely," said Hester drily. "Very likely. He has the reputation of being generous." The young man looked at her queerly. "If I remember right," he said, "his generosity had nothing to do with the circumstances I recall. I should like to have this impression cleared away if I am mistaken in the man." Hester flared up. He certainly was very bold and very ingestive. "I can't see how it can concern you in the least," she said, "but the gentleman in the study is Mr. Barclay Hill, of whom no doubt you have heard." He made a queer gurgling noise in his throat and suddenly turned and looked out of the window. Hester stared at him in some alarm. "It is nothing," he quietly said, as he turned and caught her look. "I choked a little--that's all." Hester did not remove her eyes from his flushed face. Her expression suddenly softened. "Sit down," she said, "and I will bring you a glass of water." "No, no, don't bother." "Perhaps—perhaps you are hungry?" "Not yet. I don't expect to be hungry before lunchon time." Hester froze again at his impudence. Whereat he laughed until the tears came in his eyes. "I b—heg your pardon," he stammered. "Whenever I choke that way I have to laugh." And he laughed again. Then he straightened up. "About this man Hill?" he said. "Is he so very much?" She shuddered at his slang. "Mr. Barclay Hill is the legal adviser of the great house of Barham & Goldie. He is one of the leading men in his profession, a gentleman of whom all men speak highly. We are proud to acknowledge that such a man is a friend of the family." She said this with a withering em- phasis that should have had its effect on the improvident person before her. But he only laughed again. "I wasn't much impressed by his looks," he said. "He has a fine face," said Hester quickly. "A strong face, and a beautifully polished head." "It struck me that the poise slanted his head a little too sharply backward," said this incorrigible. Hester frowned. "We will drop the subject," she said, "Please don't," said the incorrigible. "I have never heard Barclay Hill discussed before. There is a delightful novelty about it that of course may not appeal to you. You know him so well?" "He is an old friend," said Hester severely. "He looks older than I supposed," persisted the incorrigible. "I have no doubt that the business burdens he carries have done much to age him before his time," said Hester. The incorrigible suddenly choked again, but this time he controlled the affliction better. "If I am not greatly mistaken," he said, "you would have me regard this Hill as a model upon which to pattern my own conduct?" "You couldn't find a better," she said. Once more he showed signs of choking again, but happily warded it off. "I don't expect so much of you," said Hester, "but I really feel that it is not too late for you to strive to improve—to drop your foolish scheming and to cultivate a higher degree of—of financial responsibility." "Very well put," he said, "and I thank you. If I understand you aright you are afraid that I mean to borrow money from your father. Come, I'll promise not to ask him for a cent." "Thank you," said Hester. "But K he forces money on you?" "I'll make him take it back." He promised him this seriously, but his eyes merrily twinkled. "I begin to have some confidence in you," said Hester. She hesitated. "If you really are in want I would be glad to aid you myself." She produced a little purse. "But don't ask father." He put up his hand quietly. "Don't tempt me," he cried. Then his tone suddenly changed. "By jove, he said, "here comes your father!" and he pointed to the window. Sure enough the head of the household was ascending the steps. "He must have caught an early car," said Hester as she turned toward the door. "Well, well," said Richard Palmer, pausing in the doorway. "I scarcely hoped to find you two together. Are you really acquainted?" "Not formally," said the young man, and his twinkling eyes rested on Hester. "Hester, dear," said her father, "let me present our very good friend, Mr. Barclay Hill. Mr. Hill, Miss Palmer." Heester felt the blood leap-in her cheeks. Her lips trembled. She did not dare to look up. She wanted to drop through the floor. Fortunately, her father failed to notice her agitation. "And now where is the impecunious guest?" he cried as he looked around. "Surely he came?" "He's in the study, father." How strangely her voice sounded. "I'll see him in there." As the door closed behind her father the young man quickly stepped toward Hester. "Not a word," he softly said. "Only remember that you owe me an explanation, and that it is my right to collect it when and where and as often as I please. Is that agreed?" His eyes were very bright, but their glance was tender. And Hester looked down with a blush.—W. R. Rose, in Cleveland Plain Dealer. The Sheep Herder's Life. Few people in our Eastern cities have the least idea of what sheep herding means on the immense ranges of the West. The herders are men of many nationalities, principally Swedes, Norwegians, Germans, Mexicans and Americans. Any man can herd sheep if he possesses ordinary intelligence and exercises a little care. A sheep herder, however, is looked upon with contempt, and is considered the personification of laziness, if he remains long in the business. Young men sometimes come from the East in search of health and take to sheep-herding. A more healthy life cannot be imagined for the summer months—living entirely in the open air, eating plenty of plain food (if a man does not become too lazy to cook it) having clear, cold, pure water from mountain torrents and not a care in the world if he contents himself amid the monotony and loneliness and utmost quiet of these wild hills.-Detroit Free Press. Lost of Louis Philippe's Family Princess Clementine d'Orléans celebrated her eighty-sixth birthday a few days ago at the Chateau of Ebenthal, her seat in lower Austria, whither she has just returned after passing the winter and spring at Mentone. Princess Clementine, who is the only survivor of the large family of Louis Philippe, is the widow of Prince Augustus of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, younger brother of the late King Consort of Portugal, who died in 1881. Prince Augustus was the son and heir of Prince Ferdinand, a brother of the late King of the Belgians, and of the Duchess of Kent, who settled in Hungary in 1815, when he was so lucky as to marry the only child of the last Prince of Kolhary, a great territorial magnate, possessed of a vast fortune and immense estates, which now belong to Princess Clementine's eldest son, Prince Philip, son-in-law of the King of the Belgians.—London World. WOMAN TRAPPED APACHES. HE women who have gone with their husbands or brothers to make homes down in the famous gold mining regions of Tombstone, in southern Arizona, are accounted among the most daring of any in the Territories in the last ten years. The Apache Indians, when Geronimo was their chief, made frequent incursions into that part of the country, and the outrages committed in the homes of settlers and ranchmen among the mountains and foothills are among the most atrocious and horrible ever known by savages. With the conquering of the Apaches some twelve years ago by General Miles the fearful slaughter of settlers' families and cattlemen came to an end, but the women who still live in that region deserve merit for frequent acts of bravery and coolness in their daily life. Mrs. Mary Nugent and her husband and three children came from a little town near Scranton, Pa., several years ago. They made their home seventeen miles east of Tombstone, where they took up one of Uncle Sam's land claims and opened a little merchandise store for the cowboys and Mexicans. Both the husband and wife became accustomed to seeing Apache Indians about, and they often gave the savages cast-off clothing to keep them from loafing about their home too much. One day in June, while Mr. Nugent had gone some twenty-five miles across country to a ranch house, two strapping strange Apaches armed with knives suddenly appeared in the settler's home. Mrs. Nugent was there with a twelve-year-old son and a smaller daughter. There had been reports for weeks among the settlers that Apache Kid and his gang of cutthroats and thieves were marauding the region. Mrs. Nugent was sure she had to deal with the most cruel and most inhuman Indians in the country. That the men had watched her husband ride away from the house she knew full well. It would be useless to try to deceive the redskins. Instant thought and decision alone were serviceable. Speaking as best she could in the jargon of English and Apache, she boldly said that her husband would be away all day and that she was glad the Indians had come, because she wanted them to help her at some work. That gave the savages a feeling that they need not hurry about whatever sinister plans they had for the Nugent household. In less than half an hour the woman, with a smiling face and apparent deliberation, had cooked a fine breakfast for the Apaches, who sat never uttering so much as a grunt and all the time watching her every movement. When the meal was over and the Indians had been given a quantity of tobacco Mrs. Nugent asked them if they would help her in moving provisions into the store at the front of the house. There was a sort of cold storage cellar at the back of the house. It was built of adobe bricks, with a heavy wood door, having big hinges and a hasp for a padlock on the outside. It was without windows and the walls were three feet thick. It was a storage place for the merchandise sold in the little Nugent store. Bustling about the house with a forced energy, but not a moment forgetting the two great, half-naked savages who stood in her doorway were there for a settled purpose, she carried numerous hams and pails of lard from the storehouse, as if the greatest expedition were necessary. Then, suddenly calling the Apaches to the storehouse, she praised their strong arms and backs and asked if they would not carry a barrel of lard out of the adobe cellar to the store. The savages were caught off their guard, and, bending low, they began to slowly raise the heavy barrel. At that moment Mrs. Nugent snatched hold of the heavy wood door, and in a flash she drew it shut, put the hasp in place and fastened the padlock outside. Then, while all manner of Indian oaths reached her ears, she brought out the two family Winchester rifles and stood guard over the storehouse. She dispatched her boy with all possible speed on the bare back of a broncho to the Alling ranch, seven miles away, for help from the coundpunchers. Rifle in hand, she walked about the exterior of the storehouse, watching for the first evidence of the imprisoned Apaches attempting to dig out through the adobe walls. Several times she fired her rifle in order to let the men know there was some one about with firearms. Two hours later several cowboys came to the Nugent house, the Indians were easily taken and were sent back to their reservation, where they have since been in prison. The Indians were not in the Apache Kid band, but years ago they were the murderers of whites, and are intractable savages. Not the least doubt remains that they meant to kill Mrs. Nugent and her children and rob the store of its money. CUBA'S LAST BUCCANEERS As late as the year 1825 the waters adjacent to Porto Rico were infested by a bloodthirsty band of pirates, led by a Spanish named Confreclinas. It was the proud boast of the buccaneer chief that he neither gave nor asked quarter. In March of the year mentioned Captain John Drake Sloat, who twenty-one years later raised the American flag over California, was placed in command of the sloop-of-war Grampus, with orders to proceed to the West Indies and wipe the pirates off the ocean. The Grampus cruised for some weeks withoutatching sight of any pirate vessel. one morning, while the sloop was king at anchor in the harbor of San Jun, a man who had swum ashore fro a merchant vessel captured by Onfrecinas, reported that the pirate brig was anchored in the Boe de Inferno (Mouth of Hell), an obscure harbor some miles up the coast, waiting to attack a heavily land schooler which was to sail from San Juan over very day. Confrécinas key the Grampus well, so to make sure of his prey, Captain Sloat placed a fairly armed crew and cannon loaded with grape on board the schooner, and sailed forth. The pirates, unsuspecting any resistance, bore down of the disguised vessel, with the black hat and skull and crossbones at the crisps masthead. Not a move was made by Sloat and his crew until the vessels were almost alongside, when the marines arose from the deck and pulled a deadly volley into the brig. Confrécinas rallied his men, and for some time kept up a running fight showing great skill in manipulating it crippled vessel. He was finally freed to run his brig ashore. Fort of the crew, with the buccaneer chief, were captured by waiting soldiers. They were taken to San Juan, cort-martialed the next day, and she. Confrecinas was the last to die. Then they attempted to bind his eyes, threw the men aside, ridiculed the fist, and exclaimed in a loud voice: "I have also hundreds with my own hands, and I now how to die. Fire!" He fell pleaded by many bullets, the last and most bloodthirsty of the buccaneers of that region. Harper's Weekly. THE SPIRIT OF ADVENTURE The spirit of adventure exists in many men b-day, as strongly as it did in the days of Ivanhoe and Richard the LionHearted. Danger seems to have a penultimate charm. Some men go to war or patriotism, but more go with the feelings which lead one hand of small boys to seek combat with another. Expeditions toward the poles are justified on scientific grounds, but the actual men who compose them are led by he longing for adventure. The steamer Discovery is now lee-bound in the Antarctic region, awaiting relief from Great Britain. What contribution on subjects of botany, geography, biology and magnetism have been made by her voyage, we do not yet know. What we do know about, and what impresses most both the popular imagination and the explorers themselves, is the series of dramatic adventures. One period of darknessasted one hundred and twenty-one days. A lieutenant fell twenty-fet and was saved on the brink of abselection of twenty-five hundred dept. Several men slipped on a glacier, and all were able to dig their knives into the blue ice and check their process toward destruction, except the Thomas Vance, who was hurried over the precipice with a final scream. Clarence have slept six days and a half, without awakening, in a bed of snow. Twelve men were blown into the ocean by the wind, and saved. The dogs贮了 canned food, and the man hauled the sledges. We all love to hear of such adventures, especially when we know that they are real. There is a wonderful essay by Robert Louis Stromenson, called The Lantern Bearers, which explains this charm of adventure more skillfully than any other piece of writing that we know. The charm exists, in all of us. In some it is strong enough to cause the actual trip to the polar regions, there to face the freezing, and the desperate fall to death. In others it is only strong enough to give enormous sale to such a book as Nensen's "Farthest North." The man who seeks adventure is still a hero, and the rest of us love him for the dangers he has passed.—Collier's Weekly. NARROW ESCAPE. A small company of Alaskan gold-seekers were walking across one of the great loe fields in that winter bound country when one of them noticed a difference in the color of the loe a few yards before them. Almost as he spoke, however, the tracerous coating of thin ice across, a jagged crevasse gave way, and with an awful cry the two foremost men went down with the crumbling, glittering surface. A third man would have followed, but his gun lodged crosswise in the crevice and saved him. The other two had sunk out of sight, only their voices guiding their rescuers. Blankets were torn into strips—and all the available rope used as well to reach the unfortunate prisoners, to whom hatchets also had to be lowered to hack their way out, so tightly had they been jammed in between the ice bowlers by their fall of fifty feet or more. When they reached the surface again they were in a fainting condition, and it was many days before they recovered from the effects of the time spent in that ice tomb. A LEANDER IN MISSOURI J. A. Soard, aged eighty-nine years, swam the flooded Platte River, half a mile wide, in order to get from his temporary home in the country east of that stream to St. Joseph, Mo., where his wife of six weeks has been visiting, and from whom he was cut off by the flood. His feet was witnessed by some families along the river bank, who cheered him lustily. The river was a raging torrent where he breasted it, but it was the narrowest point across for many miles. Mr. Soard was completely exhausted when he reached the other side, but was none the worse for his plucky deed.

It is to the interest of every town to support a good newspaper, not through local pride alone, but for practical business reasons. A newspaper is constantly doing ten times as much for its town as it could ever hope to get pay for—more than it could charge for, if it would. The more prosperous a paper is the more it is able to do. Show us a good weekly paper, full of live local ads, with a general circulation throughout the county, and we will show you an up-to-date, prosperous, progressive community. Show us a community that persistently proceeds on the idea that the editor of the home paper can live on the "pi" that accumulates in the office, whose official bodies think it a waste of public money to throw him a bit of public printing occasionally at living prices, whose citizens have come to regard is as one of their intolerable rights to work him for long-winded obituary notices and "in memorandum," with three inches of hymn book poetry at the end, to say nothing about an occasional notice of a lost cow or some cotton seed for sale, and we will show you a community that is living from hand to mouth and is always on the ragged edge of adversity. People ought to stop to think about these things. It is an important matter. It is their own good that is involved, the welfare and progress of their community, therefore of themselves. A local newspaper is absolutely necessary to any community. No merchant, no grand jury, no town council that spends every year all it can afford with the home paper, whether that expenditure is actually necessary or not, makes a wiser, more profitable investment. They are not "giving" the home paper something. On the contrary, it is earning every cent it gets, and more, provided it is a paper that is worth picking up in the road. And if it isn't that sort of paper it is usually the fault of the town in which it is published.—Atlanta Constitution WISE WORDS. No legacy is so rich as, honesty.—Shakespeare.

Here are some sensible zemarks for a hygienic work on the prevailing persistence regarding the danger of cold air and "catching cold": "It is a very significant comment on the cold-air fallacy, that people of all ages, sexes; occupations and social positions, and in all conditions of general health, catch cold, say to-day from the 'slightest exposures'. Often, indeed, they are totally at a loss to account for them, except upon one surmise or another, like that of the old lady who 'caught her death' of cold taking gruel out of a damp basin; while next month, or next week, perhaps, the same individuals endure: the most extreme exposures, as, for example, riding for hours in face of a driving rain or snow storm, until wet and chilled through and through; or, perhaps, being turned out at night in bitter cold, half clad, to find their way from their burning dwelling to a distant neighbor's- in short, they may suffer the most taking exposures and yet 'catch' nothing more than a good appetite, for a warm dinner or a cheery fireside."—Los Angeles Times. The Hottest Worn Mrs. Smith's Mrs. Smith and Miss Brown were once the bosom of bosom friends. In fact, Miss Brown was a constant visitor at the house of Mrs. Smith. She was staying with her as a gossip one bitter cold frosty morning, and the two were going for a walk. Miss.Brown, ready first, stood warming herself by the dining-room fire. "Dearest," called Mrs. Smith free upstairs, "has Jane put my boots warm at the dining-room fire." "No, darling," Miss Brown resplays "yours are not here, but your hand's are." Presently Mrs. Smith entered the room, evidently not in the sweetest tempers. She violously picked up the boots from the fender, and left the tossing her head. Then it dawned upon Miss that she had made an awful head and that the boots belonged to the heater. - Answers. . = - - 8 et ~ * - ; < ete : Sa nena eres lhe teste heehee * As to Newspaper Names, “1 make a study of the names of newspapers,” sald an eccentric mun, “Rare names I hall with joy.

One of the difficulties in the way of captur- Ing the European market 1s the long interval between placing orders and the receipt of the frult.

Pare New foundations under old buildings are a feature of some of the Important bullding construction now in progress In Chicago, says Engineering News. In the business district a number of bulld- Ings are to be torn down and replaced by office or store buildings of steel frame construction, and In order to re duce the loss of rental to a minimum, the foundation work for the new bulld- Ing (which Js often the slowest part of the work) is done before the old building Is vacated. The basement or cellar openings are used for delivering materials, while the building and sido- walks are supported by shoring and underpinning where the original sup- ports have to be removed. The cais- sons are then sunk or other work car- ried out before the leases of tenante expire. When the old bulldigy is va- cated it takes.very Uttle time to de- molish it and clear the site, and the construction of the new building can then be commenced at once upon the foundations biitit In advance. ise eeeaiin ta Setens dame “Do you make any reduction in price when you sell postage stamps tn quan- tity?” Inquired the funny man.who frequently bothered the corner drug- gist. + lps “As you are a constant customer and the hour is late,” said the druggist, “I will let you have the entire stock of two-cent stamps I have on hand for a cent anda quarter.
