VOL. XVJII. Details of Congressional Action are Meagre—President Roosovelt Disappointed, But Is Silent. News in Washington. Advices from Bogota state that the Panama treaty has been rejected unanimously by the Colombian congress. It is reported that President Marroquin has been authorized by congress to make a new treaty which will not require further ratification, but that the basis given for the treaty will probably prove unacceptable to the United States. It is considered, however, in official circles, according to reliable information, that the authorization given by congress to make a new treaty will furnish a basis for reopening negotiations with the United States. It appears that one of the objections to the ratification of the reaty which carried weigh in the senate was that the Panama Canal Company did not come to a previous arrangement with the Colombian government for the transfer of the concession. Upon the return of the president to Sagamore Hill Monday evening from reviewing the fleet he found awaiting him there information of the rejection by the Colombian senate of the Panama canal treaty. While he naturally is disappointed at the action of congress, he does not desire at this time to make any comments upon it. Washington Advised. A cablegram dated August 12, was received at the state department Monday from Minister Beaupre, at Bogota, saying that the Panama canal treaty has been rejected by the Colombian senate. Very little additional information concerning the action of the Colombian senate could be obtained at the state department. Mr. Adee, acting secretary of state, would not discuss Colombian affairs, nor indicate what course the United States would pursue. Section 4 of the Isthmian canal art provides that should the president be unable to obtain satisfactory title to the property of the new Panama Canal Company and control of the necessary territory and the rights necessary to the construction of the canal from the republic of Colombia, he shall make the necessary treaties with Costa Rica and Nicaragua and proceed with the construction of a canal by the Nicaraguan route. Reasons for Rejection. The reason, given for the rejection of the treaty by the Colombian senate, it is said here, was the allied encroachment on Colombian sovereignty which its opponents contend would result from the treaty. This information was contained in a dispatch received Monday night by Dr. Herran, the Colombian charge at Washington, from Foreign Minister Ricos, at Bogotá. This dispatch showed that in its present form the treaty was absolutely unacceptable to the senate for the reason above stated, and that it had been rejected unanimously. Incidental to the general question of sovereignty necessarily was that of loose of the strip of land through which the canal was to be constructed and the debate in the Colombian senate indicated that that body regarded this as amounting to a sale of the land and therefore objectionable. When the treaty was submitted to the senate by the committee to which it had been referred, seven of the senators favored it with certain amendments which they proposed, and the remaining two opposed it absolutely. An interesting feature of the whole debate in the Colombian senate and in the committee's report favoring the trenty is said to be the entire absence of reference to the question of indemnity offered by the United States for the right of way. Says Caleb Powers Suggested an Easy Way to Kill Goebel. At Georgetown, Ky., Monday, Robert Noakes, who three years ago in the first trial of Caleb Powers was a sensational witness, but who ran away from Kentucky after leaving the stand, appeared as a witness for the commonwealth. Noakes said that James Finley, exsecretary of state, said to him that the moving of a large bunch of men to Frankfort was too expensive, that the best way to settle the contest was to pay James Howard $2,000 to kill Goebel. The 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 fiveyear terms and under. Several other minor amendments were passed. IMPRESSION COPY ALLEGED. More Sensational Testimony In Fight 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 said 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 Polut 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 Hurd 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. DURBIN REPLIES TO ROOSEVELT. 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." Horrible State of Affairs on Island of Jamalca Results from Storm. Recent dispatches state that there are heartrending scenes all over the eastern and northern portions of the island of Jamalca. At Port Antonio thousands are homeless and starving. Similar conditions prevail at Annotata bay, Bluff bay, Orange bay, Port Marla, Manchionoal, Morant bay, Bow and other smaller seaports. In the interior the distress is equally acute. Scarcely a peasant's home is standing. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. AUGUST 22. 1903 Cream of News.

TERROR REIGNS SUPREME Fierce Battle Reported as Having Occurred Near Monastir In Which Turkish Forces Were Repulsed by Insurgents. Advices from Sofia, Bulgaria, state that a fierce battle is reported to have occurred in the neighborhood-of Monastir. Three Turkish battalions attacked a thousand insurgents and after the fight had raged for six hours the Turks were repulsed with the loss of 210 men killed or wounded. The insurgent loss is not given. Reports received in Sofia from Constantinople and believed to be authentic, confirm the previous statements to the effect that when Turks captured Krushevo they slaughtered the entire Christian population without exception, and it is pointed out that among those killed were the employees of the government tobacco establishments, which wore under European control, as the proceeds from these establishments were assigned to the service of the Turkish debt. A reign of terror is reported to prevail at Uskub, where the Christian inhabitants are afraid to leave their houses. The vall has issued the strictest orders to the Mussulman population to remain quiet and not molest their Christian neighbors, but the Mussulmans, meeting in the Mosque, have resolved at a given signal to massacre the whole Christian population immediately the first insurgent band appears near Uskub on any pretext. The Christians are terrorized. The Turkish troops, who are their only protection, do not show the slightest disposition to aid them. The attitude of the Turkish troops recently was plainly manifested when a train load of soldiers, shortly after leaving Uskub, fired on the Bulgarian workmen who were repairing the track. Three of the workmen were killed and their bodies were left lying on the line. NICARAGUA LOOMS UP. Failure of Colombian Congress to Ratify Panama Canal Treaty Places the Other Route to the Front. The rejection of the Hay-Herran Panama canal treaty, as foreshadowed in Washington dispatches, is received with rejoicing by the veteran advocates of the Nicaragua route. Former Senator Harris, of Kansas, who is in Washington and who was a member of the senate committee on interoceanic canals, is particularly brilliant. He says the Nicaragua route will now win. Senator Harris has for a long time been urged for appointment as one of the canal commissioners. While Dr. Herran, the Colombian charge d'affaires at Washington will admit nothing beyond his belief that only amendments to the treaty have been defeated and wants the time limit extended, hoping for a reconsideration and reversal by the congress of his country, it is plain to most minds that the alternative must now be taken up; that is, the obtaining from Costa Rica and Nicaragua the necessary territory and proper control of the Nicaragua route. There is some talk to the effect that there is in the state department a hope that the Panama route may yet be chosen through dissensions between the Colombian states, and that the negotiation can be perfected by the Colombian president signing the treaty. Cure for Locklaw Found. A cure for lockjaw has been discovered by Dr. S. A. Matthews, of the University of Chicago, and has been successfully used. CHINESE WAR SHIP SUNK.

The Empress of India saved 170 of the crew of the cruiser The captain of the Huang Tal, who refused to leave his ship, and thirteen of the crew were drowned. The Empress of India was badly damaged amidship. NEW ARMY REGULATIONS. General Young Quilt Command and Assumes Duties of Chief of Staff. Secretary Root Issues Orders. Saturday Secretary of War Root promulgated an order defining the duties of the general staff of the army, which went into effect under the law on that day. The most important feature of the order is that in relation to the duties of the chief of staff. On this point the secretary says: "Under the act of February 14, 1903, the command of the army of the United States rots with the constitutional commander in chief, the president. The president will place parts of the army and separate armies whenever constituted, under commanders subordinate to his general command; and, in case of exigency seeming to him to require it, he may place the whole army under a single commander subordinate to him; but in time of peace and under ordinary conditions the administration and control of the army are effected without any second in command. "The president's command is exercised through the secretary of war and the chief of staff. The secretary of war is charged with carrying out the policies of the president in military affairs. He directly represents and its bound always to act in conformity to the president's instructions. Under the law and the decisions of the supreme court his acts are the president's acts, and his directions and orders are the president's directions and orders. "The chief of staff reports to the secretary of war, acts as his military adviser, receives from him the directions and orders given in behalf of the president, and gives effect thereto in the manner hereafter provided." "The chief of staff is detailed by the president from officers of the army at large, not below the grade of brigadier general. The successful performance of the duties of the position requires what the title denotes—a relation of absolute confidence and personal accord, and sympathy between the chief of staff and the president, and necessarily also between the chief of staff and the secretary of war. For this reason, without any reflection whatever upon the officer detailed, the detail will in every case cease, unless sooner detailed, on the day following the expiration of the term of office of the president by whom the detail is made; and if at any time the chief of staff considers that he can no longer sustain toward the president and the secretary of war the relations above described, it will be his duty to apply to be relieved." New Officers of General Staff. Two general orders were also issued by General Young as chief of staff of the army under the new law. The first stated that in compliance with the instructions of the president, he, General Young, relinquishes command of the army and assumes the duties of chief of staff. The second order announced the assignment of officers of the general staff as follows: Assistants to chief of staff, Major General Henry C. Corbin, adjutaut general. Brigadier General William H. Caster, Brigadier General Wallaco F. Randolph, chief of artillery. War College Board—Brigadier General Tusker H. Bliss, president; Colonel Alexander Maykin, secretary; Colonel William P. Hall, assistant adjutant general, is designated acting adjutant general of the army. Heretofore all army orders have been issued from the headquarters of the army, adjutant general's office, by command of the lieutenant general. Hereafter orders will be issued direct from the war department, signed by the chief of staff and inscribed "Official, W. P. Hall, acting adjutant general." That Price Again Reached on 'Change at Minneapolis, Minnesota. a Minneapolis, Minnesota. "Dollar wheat" was at last seen on 'change at Minneapolis Friday for the first time since the Leiter corner. It was cash wheat, and there were sales at that figure. Later $1.02 was asked and $1.01 bid, with no sales. The September option touched 85, the highest point in fourteen years. TOMMY IS NOT SATISFIED. Mayor of Cincinnati Has a Little Convention of His Own. The faction favoring Mayor Tom L. Johnson for governor held in Cincinnati, Friday night, what was called "an adjourned democratic convention of Hamilton county." Delegates to the state convention were selected who are expected to favor Mayor Johnson for the nomination for governor. The delegates selected by the previous convention are in favor of John L. Zimmerman, of Springfield, for the nomination. Is the Sentence Awarded In Cases of Jett and White. NO FEAR OF GALLOWS Verdict of Jury Was no Surprise and is Considered a Victory for the . At Cynthiana, Ky., Saturday morning, the jury in the case of Curtis Jest and Thomas White, charged with the assassination of James B. Maroum at Jackson, returned a verdict of guilty, fixing the punishment of each at into imprisonment. The verdict was returned when there were but few persons in the court room. Jett received the verdict with comparative indifference and calmness. White, who has been apparently under a severe strain during the trial, pushed up and his eyes filled with tears. Attorney Golden, for the defense, stated that a motion for a new trial will be made as soon as possible. The general opinion seems to be that the motion will be overruled by the court of appeals. The verdict occasioned little surprise in Cynthiana after the deliberation of the jury had been so prolonged. The only question which caused the delay, it is said, was that of punishment—death or life imprisonment. The verdict on the whole is regarded as a victory for the defense, as the prosecution asked that no middle ground be taken and that the men either go clear or be hanged. The case has been on trial almost three weeks, having been begun July 27. At the first trial at Jackson, the jury disagreed and, it is believed the final verdict was a compromise with a juror opposed to capital punishment. The friends of Captain B. L. Ewon and other witnesses for the commonwealth who have suffered greatly and were living in fear of their lives are greatly relieved. They expected the death penalty which they were confident would have been followed by confessions from the condemned men, exposing parties high in authority in Breathitt county who are considered to be back of the conspiracies. There have been twenty-seven lives lost within the past two years in the Hargis-Cockrill feud in Breathitt county, and this is the first conviction. Nur-arrests or indictments had been made until last May, when the troops were ordered to Jackson to protect the grand jury and afterward the trial jury and witnesses. Jett is still under indictment for first-degree murder for killing Town Marshal Cockrill. Jett said Friday night the rope, had never been made with which to hang him, but he made no remarks. His friends say he will have a new trial, and even if he fails in that effort, he might be pardoned in the course of time. The friends of the defendants showed such relief as to leave no doubt of their previous apprehensions of the death penalty. CORBETT EASY FOR JEFFRIE8. Pugilistic Contest at 'Friaco Was Tame and of Short Duration fame and of short duration. At San Francisco Friday night before an immense audience of the sporting fraternity, James J. Jeffries, champion heavyweight of the world, played with Jim Corbett for nine rounds and a half, and then Corbett's seconds motioned to Referee Graney to stop the fight in order to save their man from needless punishment. The end came shortly after the beginning of the tenth round, when Jeffries planted one of his terrible left swings on Corbett's stomach. The man who conquered John L. Sullivan dropped to the floor immediately and the memorable scene at Carson City, Nevada, when Bob Fitzsimmons landed his solar plexus blow, was almost duplicated. This time, however, Corbett struggled to his feet and again faced his gigantic adversary. With hardly a moment's hesitation, Jeffries swung his right and again landed on Corbett's stomach. Jim dropped to the floor. ANSWER TO THE BRADLEYS. Executors of Late Millionaire Plant Fills Ransit in Probate Court At New Haven, Conn., Tuesday the executors of the will of the late Henry Bradley Plant filed in the probate court their answer to the application of the Bradleys for the removal of the executors. In their reply, the executors, who are the son and widow of the late millionaire, and George H. Tilley, of Darien, declare that the applicants have no pecuniary interest in the estate except as annuitants under the will, and that the application is not made in good faith. The Savannah Tribune.

EDITOR JOHNSON has been con- firmed to his bed ill this week. THE extreme readiness of the people of the south to string up any Negro suspected of a crime, without bothering to try and convict him according to law, used to be explained by northerners as due to the hot southern blood. And this in the face of the fact that though the original Judge Lynch is supposed to have been a Virginian, the custom of execution without law first came into general vogue in the border states of the west, where air and blood are cool enough to suit any one. This explanation has, now lost what little use it ever had by the showing of present facts. The south once was rightly considered the home of the lynching evil. The prevalence in some sections of large numbers of "bad niggers" and the fact that such a Negro's life is not considered of high value combined to make lynching for certain crimes an increasingly common occurrence. But a change is becoming apparent to those who watch closely. Certain horrible lynching instances, of which the north has furnished the worst, has taught the southerners that for the sake of their own white citizens they must stop lynching. Down there they are punishing every man who can be convicted of taking part in a lynching. Every crime of this kind is followed by marked activity on the part of the prosecuting officers, in striking contrast to the inactivity consequent on such an affair, for instance, as the Wilmington horror. And more Negroes than formerly are given legal trials for serious crimes, even in the black belt of Alabama, than ever before. It is said on good authority that since January 1, the state of Alabama has legally hanged ten Negroes for murder or highway robbery. On the other hand, northern states have lynched at least ten men, not all of them Negroes, for various crimes. And the worst of the record for the past two months has been made in the north. Apparently the zone of lynching shifting northward, and the fact that latitude has no influence on it is being made constantly plainer. The people of two many northern states are demonstrating that they are no better than the southerners at which they formerly threw so many stones. Unless sense and the hard hand of the law are applied to the case vigorously, it looks as if the north would have to learn its lesson in the same costly way as has the south—The Day. GRAND LODGE SESSION. Pursuant to adjournment the D. G. L. Jurisdiction of Georgia convened in Atlanta on Tuesday last at Odd-Fellows Hall on Piedmont Ave. Following the call to order by D. G. M. W. L. Hughes and opening in due form, the lodge adjourned to hold public exercises. After parading through principal streets the parade stopped at Big Bethel A. M. E. Church, Rev. C. O. Oargile, pastor. P. G. M., J. H. Dereaux of Savannah, delivered the annual oration. The Hon. Evan P. Howell not by proxy as is often the case, but came in person and welcomed the Dist. G. L. delegates to Atlanta. The program as arranged was interesting. At the commencement of executive business Rev. A. S. Staley, of Amerious, and J. H. Baldwin, of Savannah, were elected recording secretaries. The reports of the D. G. M. D. G. S., and Deputies were interesting and showed that the order in the state was prosperous. The Dist. G. S. reported that the long hoped for endowment for Georgia had passed both by a two-third majority of lodges and members, but can not be operated until the official count is received from the S. C. of M. Thursday night furnished the most interesting program of the meeting. The result of the election of officers was as follows: H. L. Wilson, D. G. M., Macon; J. C. Williams, D D G. M, Savannah; B. J. Davis, D G S, Dawson; L. L Lee, D G Treas, Atlanta; Amos Cawaller, D G D, Rome. The District Household. The District Household of Ruth No. 8, met last week in Atlanta.

Quite a large congregation was out at the 11 a.m. services to hear Rev J. J. Cole, state superintendent and organizer of Sunday School of the State of Georgia. Rev. Cole text was Palam 30:5, subject "In the favor of God." Rev. Cole discourse was a grand one from beginning to end and the whole congregation was well pleased with what they heard. Rev. Cole is a very forcible speaker and is always ready to give good gospel food to his hearers. At 8:30 Rev. Sims our beloved and popular pastor preached a heart-felt sermon. After preaching there were several persons connected themselves with the church. Mr. B.S. Reed and Sims reported a grand time at the Sunday School convention which adjourned at Statesboro on Sunday. You know St. Phillips was in the lead. There was quite a large attendance of well known ministers was there. Don't forget our rally on the fifth Sunday. We want to raise a handsome sum.

Its First Anniversary. The Mutual Aid and Social Club, a young club of young men between the ages of 14 and 17 years was organized August 24th, 1902, from a little bass ball aggregation. Since that time they increased to a membership of thirty. In their recent election the following officers were elected officers for the ensuing year: Robert Carter, President; Walter Bagnell, Vice-President; William Bright, Treasurer; Heury Cain, Sergeant-at-arms; Joseph Shetall Financial Secretary; Elijah Moore Recordary Secretary; Charles Richards, Chaplain; E.

There is not much doing in and around Hawkinaville just now. Crops are looking well, recent rains having brought them, out wonderfully. Mrs. Missouri Horn, mother of Mrs. E. W. Sherman of East Waldburg street, of your city, is stopping for a week or two with Mrs. Geo. F. Thomas in the country. She speaks of remaining in and around Hawkinaville until September. George F. Thomas. Dividend Declared. The Metropolitan Mercantile and Reality Co., at its annual meeting held August 34, declared a dividend of 7 per cent on all paid up stocks. All the old officers were selected, showing confidence in their ability to handle large interests. The business of the company for the past year shows a splendid increase over previous years, and conditions promising for another larger business this year. It begins this present year to push its original plan of opening nests stores with large stocks of goods, all which will be supplied from one general store, centrally located, giving employment to scores of boys and girls. This is the first company conducted by Negro men that has reached a point where it could build at a less cost than other companies and make a profit. And it is only a question of time as to how large and influential it will become. The concern is on a sound financial basis, and as it is in the great commercial center of the United States, it will be seen at a glance that by causing financial relations with their brothers in the South and forging business of some magnitude success will follow in its wake. The company has increased its capital stock from $110,000 to $500,000, which makes it the heaviest capitalized concern ever gotten up by colored men. This stock will be a paying investment for those who wish to invest anywhere from $25 to $1000 and is desirable to institutions as well as individuals. They are carrying on a great work and all eyes are turned upon them. The public realizes that its plans carried out means a new birth to he colored men in America. Mr. Editor: Please allow mespace in your valuable paper to state to its many readers that Miss Ethel Bissard closed a very successful term of school at Jerusalem A. M. E. church in Bullloch Co, on the 7th, inst. Under the supervision of Miss Bissard, the children made rapid progress. She is an intellectual giant, and one of Savannah's fairest daughters. Long may she disperse the light of intelligence and hold high its royal banner as she passes around the intellectual globe, that king ignorance might be dethroned. A large crowd witnessed the closing. There were plenty of refreshments served. Miss Bissard left for Savannah on Sunday. Hoping THE TRIBUNE a wide circulation. J. Q. Millen.

Servants in the livery of 2 great house were standing amotionless in a Jong Ine; a Uttle sub- dued whispering passed from one to the other. At the head of the stairs waited Jean Moussin, prince of major- domos, to-night, gullke Limself, white and anxious. “What does It mean, Mousieur Mous- sin?” a black-robed 2ady’a-matd whis- pered tn his ear. “Ten o'clock has struck, we are all prepared, and no one comes.

Run back, and do not chatter!” The majordomo walked restlessly to and fro. The sound of carriage wheels in the courtyard would have seemed the sweetest music to him. How wide the door would have stood open, how low ble bow! But from without there caine no sound at all In the music room behind the ball room sonse one was playing the viollu. A servant touched him on the shoul- ‘der. “Madame Ia Comtesse would speak “with you, Monsieur Moussin!” “Lattend, madame,” the old man mur- sured. . At once he turned to obey this stmn- mons. He passed with bowed head through the stately reception room, nround which only m short half-hour ago he had gazed with pride and pleas- ure. The perfume of the flowers, the soft splendor of the, tapestry (a King’s legucy), the glittering viste of the ball room beyond—all these things went for nothing. There was a ghostliness about these silent rooms, the great, empty tloor polished so perfectly for the fect of the dancers, Madame la Comtesse stood alone. She herself was the most beautiful thing there, save that In her face, as she moved forward to meet Moussin, was the look of u frightened ebild. Ste was radiant In white and pearl; in her eyes and features the undimmed splen- dor.of youth; In her carrlage and swift, graceful gestures the charm and diz: uity of the woman of culture and faphion. Moussin bowed low before er and stood silent. “Monssin,” she exclaimed, “what ts the meaning of this? I do not under- stand. Are all the clocks wrong? Hze anything happened outside?” : “Madame,” he answered, slowly, “the clocks are right. It fs a quarter past ten.” She moved Iinpetuously to one of the six high windows and ralsed the blind, Beneath was a courtyard—empty. ‘The gates were thrown wide open, and ser- vants stood on cither side—walting. * Olitside In the street the stream of ve- hicles flowed steadily on. She dropped the Mind, “foussin,” she said, “you made no mistake in the date?” “Moussin shook his head sorrowfully. “Madame,” he said, “I have exam- ined the card. The date 1s correct. Many of the journals, too, have an- nounced that madame recelres to-night. Ahr" He sprang to the window. The sound of wheels “echoed up from the court. yard. Alas, it was but a single Drougham! "No other carriages fol- lowed it. ‘The Jong line of carringes whieh In the old days had blocked the street was absent. Mouseln also let fall the blind and turned dejectedly around. “Maidama” he sald, “would it not be ‘well if T announced to this single vis Mor that Madame 1a Comtesse 1s in. disposed and does not receive to- night?” wi She shook her head. She had not the blood of a race of conquerors in her veins for nothing. She moved toward the reception room. “By no means, Moussin! I will se¢ who this daring visitor may be. Be- »sides,” she added, resting her small white hand tenderly for > moment ‘upon his shoulder, “It would be useless, AMl Paris will Know of this to-mor- row.” ‘Moussin hurried forward, A tittle gob caught in his throat.

In general dimensions the Galatea, was 102 feet Jong over alll, elghty-seven feet on the waterline, fifteen feet ‘wide; perhaps tex feet deep below decks, and her draught was thirteen feet six inches. Her suc cessful opponent, the Mayflower, was 100 feet long overelll, was twenty-three feet wide, and was perbaps seven feet deop under the deck, and she drew ten feet of water. - . ‘With these facts in mind we can see how far we have traveled in changing the shapes of boats of that class, For Shamrock III. though but three feet loniger on the waterline, ig 140 fect long over all.

By W. D.

Is not she wishing to set an example to her hus- band, who has shown himself so little able to sef¥an example . ef to her, and for whose discipline she {s+ belleved oftencst to,{0- auige what seems a vain aspiration? A very strange thing in regard to this is that men are never heard sighing to be women. The weakest, the unbapplest, the most abject of men is not known to wish himself a woman, and when be considers living hls Ife over again it is certainly a man’s Iife that he has in mind. He Js perfectly willing to allow that a woman js mach better by nature, ‘wiser by teaching, sweeter, ioveller, gentler, and yet Le does not ask to change Lis lot with hers} if he were a beggar, and she a queen, he would not. He {¢ found saying, in print and out of it, that women haye by fer thy safest, easiest and pleasantest time of it, but still, samehow, he does not envy them enough to offer changing places ‘with them.

He docs not think it any great thing to be a man, but he is not surprisgd that the objects of his fdolatry should sometimes declare themselves cager to descend from thelx high places ‘and be men, in the dust and grime of affairs, the din and heat of battle, and the ‘wild, useless efforts to escape fromthe struggle of life.

Cut a piece, say an inch long, off the end of an ordinary wax candle, and into the bottom of this drive the blunt end of a fine needle, so that only about half an inch of the pointed end protrudes. A candle must be placed in an ordinary candlestick, and this must be placed beforehand upon the table. Previous to going before the audience palm the prepared candle and then enter the room. Borrow a tall hat, and, while walking toward the table, force the needle through the crown of the hat, keeping the piece of candle covered with the hand, so that no one can get a glimpse of it. When you are within a foot of the table pretend to stumble and, as if by accident, sharply knock the hat over the candle, which is in the COUNTRY .

Light the piece of candle and bring forward the hat and the candlestick together. Tell the owner of the hat that you are very sorry, indeed, for the mishap, but that accidents will happen, etc. Ask him whether he will take the hat home as it is. Naturally he objects. Continue to argue with the owner of the hat as long as it seems to amuse the company, and then state that you will try to repair the damaged hat, at the same time blowing out the light of the candle.

Boys can have lots of fun with this odd little device, and they can make it without any trouble or expense. Take a piece of white cardboard about an inch and a half wide and five inches long and fold around it a piece of stiff unruled letter paper, so that the card may easily slide up and down. The paper should be about three inches deep, leaving two inches of the card uncovered. Crease the paper at each side to make it lie flat like a case, and then paste it together at the back. Take the card out, and in the case cut two holes for eyes and one, for the mouth, as shown in Figure 1. Now slip the card in the case again, and mark on it the points for the eyes, and a point in the mouth for the root of the tongue. "Take it out of the case again, and with a sharp pointed knife 1 2 3 blade cut the tongue as shown in Figure 2. The tongue is not to be cut out, you understand, but only on the line shown in Figure 2, so that it may hang loose. The next thing to do is to draw a grotesque face on the case, shown in Figure 1. You have in that the two eye holes and the hole for the mouth, and all you have to do is o fill in the eyelashes, the eyebrows, the nose and the TATB PUZZLE. teeth. The pupils of the eyes and the tongue will be frumished by the card; you see them in Figure 2. Figure 2 shows the effect when you have completed the drawing and have inserted the card, making the tongue slip through the hole that you have made for the mouth. To have your fun now you have only to slip the card up and down, which will make the pupils of the eyes move and the tongue go out of and into the mouth. The face will make many odd and laughable grimaces. — Brooklyn Eagle. LESSONS FROM THE BEE. 1. The bee teaches us to be industrious. No bee ever shirks his work. 2.

AN ESKIMO TRICK The short, chubby, wooden looking Eskimo men wheedle silver out of the populace by playing a game requiring considerable skill. This consists in lifting a donated nickel or dime out of the ground by the crack of a whip. The whips these people use are like an ordinary bull goad, with a number of leather lashes added to the total length of twenty-four feet; they shoot these long lashes along the ground like snakes, straight at the coin set edge up in the dirt, and as each whip reaches the spot it curls with a snap like a pistol shot, and likely as not lifts the coin high in the air; thus the coin goes to whoever gets it in that way. --- MURPLEMENT TO THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE SATURDAY AUGUST 22, 1908. Pluck and Adventure. ONE time," said nonogeitarian George Welmer, one of the last of the pioneer residents of Pottier County, Pennsylvania, "Laroy Lyman wounded a deer back on the hills; but the deer was too cute for him and got away. He came to my place and borrowed my dog to take the deer's tracks. "My dog wasn't a hunting dog, but I said I would take him and go along, and maybe he would do. I led him by a rope. "By and by we came to what Laroy said were signs of the deer, and he told me to stop and hold the dog until I heard him shoot or call, and then I was to let the dog go. It wasn't long before I heard Laroy shoot. I let the dog go. "Didn't hit the deer!" said Laroy. "You follow it." "The reason Laroy told me to follow it was that I had quite a knack of getting over the ground pretty fast and not minding it. When we used to raft lumber down Pine Creek and the Susquhanna, clear down to Columbia, we came back home most of the way afoot, because there wasn't any other way to come in those days. "I was down the river one spring and from Harrisburg I took the canal as far as Williamsport, and from there traveled by stage to Jersey shore. I was seventy miles from home then, and was aching to be home that evening the worst way, so I started out on foot, after breakfast and was home at Roulette between 8 and 0 in the evening, fresh as could be. "The reason I was aching to be home that evening was that I was young then, and was courling my girl. That was my night for sparking her, and I didn't want to disappoint her. And I didn't." "So, as I was quite handy at getting over the ground and through the woods pretty fast without minding it much, Lafoy Lyman asked me to follow that deer. Another thing, he didn't have much confidence in my dog, I guess. "Anyhow, I started on the deer's trail, and I caught up with the dog before I had gone a quarter of a mile. The dog had had a tussle with the deer, and I guess had got a little the worst of it, for he didn't seem anxious to go on. He went, though, when he saw I was going, and managed to keep along with me, but it was quite a tucker for him. "The deer was head straight for the Allegheny River, and the ice on the river was full of airholes. I was afraid that if the deer got to the river and attempted to cross it he would get into one of the airholes and that would be the last seen of him. So I wanted to catch him before he got there and save him. "I followed the deer over ridges and through hollows and across streams, and at last came in sight of him as he left the woods and went into Yenzer's field, which bordered the river. When the dog saw the deer he made a spurt and grabbed him by the flank. "The deer turned on the dog and the dog ran back. When the deer started again the dog grabbed him by the root of the tail, and while the deer was fighting the dog off I got there. "When he saw me he laid down and wouldn't move. I had the dog's rope in my hand all the time, and I tled it around the deer's neck and tried to make him get up. "He wouldn't do it, and so, to put an end to the matter, I drew my knife across his throat. The truth was, I suppose, the deer was tired out. I had run him over nine miles, and the going was pretty rough. I felt a little tired, but after I got the deer to a safe place I walked back home and cut nearly a cord of wood." VOYAGE IN A CAPSIZED SHIP. The escape from death of Captain Engelland, of the German iron sailing vessel Erndte, as reported from Dantzic yesterday, will hardly find its equal in the annals of life-saving, writes our Berlin correspondent. The Erndle left Memel with a cargo of timber on April 10. During the next two days the vessel was exposed to a very rough sea, which kept the crew of four men at work day and night. On April 18, just as the captain had retired to his cabin, the storm suddenly became so violent that the ship capsized. The crew were swept away and drowned, and the captain was imprisoned in the ship's hull, the hatches have been closed tightly by the sudden pressure of the water. The wreck drifted along, keel uppermost, until April 3 when it was sighted by the Norwegian steamship Aurora off the fishing village of Rixhoeft. The steamship immediately proceeded to secure the wreck, and while thus engaged the crew heard repeated knocks from the inside against the iron bottom. They also noticed a noise resembling a human voice crying "Help!" A hole was drilled in the iron plates and this was hardly accomplished when a human finger appeared at the opening. Then Captain Engellandt announced himself to the astonished sailors as safe and sound within the ship's hull. He said he had food enough for three days, but during the last twenty-four hours had been compelled to drink sea water because the tanks were empty. The Norwegian steamships artificers were not prepared to make a hole in the iron bottom large enough to permit the imprisoned man's liberation, and therefore the wreck was bowed to Dantzic, where it arrived on Saturday. Here the vessel was raised, and thus ended Captain Engellandt's captivity, which lasted twelve weary days and eleven nights. The hardy seaman is some worse for the fatigues he m derwent. During the day he worked hard to make his presence inside the vessel known to passing ships, but at night he slept peacefully with the water underneath and the iron roof above. London Dally Mall. THE HARDSHIPS OF A SCOUT. All unfortunate was sent with a dispatch to one of the smaller outposts in the far Northwest. It was toward spring, when the midday sun thaws the surface of the snow and the light frosts harden the melted crusts to a glare of ice as dazzlingly bright as the blinding flash of sunlight from polished steel. The thaw had crushed over the trail, and the scout had to keep a sharp eye on the way, not to loose the path altogether. Suddenly the midday sun developed extraordinary hues. Magenta, purple and black patches began to dance on the snow, alternately with wheels and rockets of cheese-colored fire. Then the light went out altogether, though the man knew that it was broad day. He had become snow blind. The only tingling was to give his horse the bit. The horse stood stock still. By that time he knew that he had lost the trail altogether, or the bronco would have followed any visible path. He wheeled the horse about. It still refused to go on; and then the man inferred that the crust of ice had been so hard that the horse could not follow back the way it had come. That night the trooper slept under saddle blankets, with the faithful horse standing sentry. For five days the policeman wandered blindly over the prairie, losing all count of time, eating snow to quench his thirst, and sleeping in the holes that the bronco had pawed through the ice crust to the under grass. The trooper was now too weak to mount and keep the saddle. As a last hope the thought struck him that if he unsaddled his horse and turned him loose it might find its way back to the fort, and so notify his friends that he was lost. He did this, but the faithful creature refused to leave the man lying on the snow, and stood over him, in spite of all his efforts to drive it off. On the sixth day the mall carrier found the pair. The trooper was severely frozen, but the rider and horse lived to see many another day's service.—Leslie's Monthly. THRILLING RACE WITH DEATH THRILLING RACE WITH DEATH Edward Gunn, one armed sheep herder, employed by Floyd Zelway, twenty-five miles from Miles City, Mon., has just won a race with death, and death in its most horrible form, at that. While caring for the sheep Gunn was bitten on his right leg by a large rattlesnake. No help was at hand, and it seemed that the man must die in a short time. Jumping on his pony, which wore neither saddle nor bridle, Gunn lashed the animal into a run, for Miles City, where he could be cared for by a doctor, as his destination. With the horse on the dead run every foot of the way, Gunn reached here just as the deadly poison was beginning to take hold of him in earnest. As he checked the pony in front of Dr. Brening's office he reeled and fell to the ground. He had just enough strength left to state that he had been bitten by a rattler. He was carried into the doctor's office, where everything possible was done for him, and at the present time he seems in a fair way to recovery, although it is believed he will lose one of his legs as a result of the poison. The pony ridden by Gunn in his dash for life stood still in front of the doctor's office after Gunn fell off, and then, with a gasp dropped dead in its tracks. The mad dash of twenty-five miles was too much for the animal. -St. Louis Globe-Democrat. ENTRAORDINARY JOURNEY. The London Express correspondent in St. Petersburg states that the engine-driver of the train from Reval to St. Petersburg was oilling his lecomotive at Taps, a few days ago, when he discovered a man lying on the steel bar underneath the engine. The steel bar was about a foot wide, and was intended to strengthen the engine. The individual stated that he was a peasant from South Russia, and that he was in the habit of making long journeys on the steel bars underneath the engines. He had been all through Russia in this way, and had even got as far as Tomsk on the Trans-Siberian Railway without being discovered. He calculated that he had traveled fully 6000 miles in this way without paying a penny, and it had been his intention to undertake the journey to Pekin on his hidden bar. How the man contrived to hang on to the steel bar when the trains were in motion is a mystery, but the investigations made by the police show that the man's statements are true in every respect. FOOLING A TIGER. An incident which seemed to show that a tiger's sense of smell is not very acute is reported from India. A Captain Macquold, in the service of the Nizam of Hyderabad, was tracking a wounded tiger which took refuge in a cave, where he was discovered by an orderly, who gave a warning shout and bolted. Captain Macquold had time to drop behind a ledge of rock only three feet and a half high when the tiger came out, crawled over the ledge without noticing the officer and made for the orderly, who had tripped. He had seized the native by the leg when Captain Macquold lodged a bullet in his spine and then shot him through the head with a second bullet. Freak at Peapack.

In their natural habitat some queens doubtless have short lives; but by reason of the protection afforded them, and the seclusion enforced by the workers, they probably live much longer than other members of the community. Within artificial surroundings they attain a comparatively long life. The oldest emmet queen known to science was once preserved under the care of Sir John Lubbock, later Lord Avebury. A number of years ago, during a visit to this distinguished naturalist at his countryseat, High Elms, Kent, the writer for the first time saw this venerable goviceign, living in the ingenious artificial formicary which had been prepared for her. She was then in the prime of life, as it afterward appeared, being seven years old. In the summer of 1887 Sir John was again visited, this time at his town house in London. After greeting, he was asked about his royal pet, "I have sad news to tell you," he answered. "What? Is the queen dead?" "She died but yesterday. I have not had the heart to tell the news as yet to my wife." Having offered my hearty condolence, I asked to see the dead queen. Sir John led the way to the room where his artificial nests were kept. The glass case which contained the special formicary in which the old ant had lived was opened up. Lying in one of the large open spaces or rooms was the dead queen. She was surrounded by a crowd of workers, who were tenerly licking her, touching her with their antennae, and making other demonstrations, as if soliciting her attention, or desiring to wake her out of sleep. Poor, dumb, loving, faithful creatures! There was no response. Their queen mother lay motionless beneath their demonstrations. "They do not 'appear to have discovered that she is really dead,' remarked Sir John. Afterward he wrote me of another queen which died at the age of fourteen. The ants dragged her body about with them when they moved 'until it fell to pieces.'—H. C. C.McCook, in Harper's Magazine. Danced Across the Atlantic. A bery of pretty Servian girls, professional dancers, who performed for the assassinated King Alexander, arrived on the steamship Rhynland, from Antwerp, at Queen Street wharf. A band of Servian musicians also was aboard. The whole party is bound for the St. Louis Exposition. In all there were nearly 400 steerage passengers, two-thirds of whom could hardly walk down the gangplank, so exhausted were they from dancing every day during the voyage. The Servian band furnished the music gratis. Almost every one aboard the ship danced. Old as well as your book part in the festivities. Fifty pretty girls from Germany, who are bound for the West, were partners in the waltz for as many men who are going to parts of Pennsylvania. New York and Ohio. When the vessel came up the Delaware River she was covered with bunting.

Molasses Pound Cake.—Cream half a cup of butter; add two-thirds cup of granulated sugar, two eggs well beaten, two-thirds cup of milk and three-fourths cup of molasses; sift into a bowl two and one-half cupfuls of flour, one level teaspoon of soda, one teaspoon of clinnamon, half a teaspoon of allspice, a pinch of cloves and a pinch of mace; mix and add half a cup of raisins, seeded and cut in pieces; add this to the first mixture and stir in three-fourths cup of citron thinly sliced and cut in strips; bake in small buttered tins twenty-five minutes; this will make two dozen cakes. Steamed Berry Pudding.—Beat two eggs well, add one cup of milk and one tablespoon of melted butter and one and one-half cups of flour in which two level teaspoons of baking powder have been sifted. Have two cups of blackberries washed and dried and rolled in flour. Stir them into the first mixture and pour into a buttered mold. Steam one hour and serve with a liquid sauce. Chopped Potatoes.—Chop fine, like hash, enough cold potatoes to two cups. Put in a buttered ban-dish with one cup of cream, a little pepper, and one level teaspoon of salt. Pour over the top two tablespoons of melted butter, set in the oven to heat through and brown the top. Gooseberry Souffle—Boll one qt of fine gooseberries in just enowater to keep from burning. V soft press through a sieve. Beat whites of five eggs which havewhipped to a stiff froth with lowpound of powdered sugar. Flavor nutmeg and lemon. When very whip lightly in the stiffly whites of three more eggs, and set dish in a hot oven for five minutesfore serving. A NEGLECTED COLOR. Gray is a more or less neglected co in house furnishing, but is re most satisfactory tone for a light ing room or large sleeping roc papering of broad stripes of two of gray, or narrow stripes of and white, crossed, perhaps, by a cate green vine, makes a good covering. Ash wood furniture paini a soft French gray in dull or "mim finish is not expensive and can be be in artistic shapes. The cane seats a backs should be white, as also the lines and carvings, but all in the dull finish. The wood-work of the room should be white and the window hangings of some soft, gray, shimmering material. A touch or two of yellow and green, in curtain linings and cushions gives a pliant finish to an apartment that is sure to seem cool in summer as well as cosey in winter. Gray and white paints do not cost any more than yellow and red, and in the rightly lighted room are good to live with—New York Tribune. An Automobile Speedway. The plans have been perfected to construct an automobile speedway the whole length of Long Island, from the Blackwell Island Bridge to Montauk Point, a distance of 112 miles. The road will be 40 feet in width and will be inclosed by hedges and wire fences. It will cost $15,000 a mile, or nearly $1,700,000 in all. This is a large sum, but the automobilists can well afford it, and otherpeople might profitably contribute for the sake of getting the racing machines off the public highways. Over $6,000,000 worth of the shoe product of America was sold in foreign lands in 1902. We sold in the United Kingdom $2,000,000 worth, whereas sea years ago we sold but $2,100 worth. .

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:—I suffered for several years with general weakness and bearing-down pains, caused by womb trouble. My appetite was fitful, and I would lie awake for hours, and could not sleep, until I seemed more weary in the morning than when I retired. After reading one of your advertisements I decided to try the merits of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and I am so glad I did. No one can describe the good it did me. I took three bottles faithfully, and besides building up my general health, it drove all disease and poison out of my body, and made me feel as spry and active as a young girl. Mrs. Pinkham's medicines are certainly all they are claimed to be."—Mrs. M. E. Hughson, 847 East Ohio St. Chicago, Ill. The first indication of such trouble should be the signal for quick action. Don't let the condition become chronic through neglect or a mistaken idea that you can overcome it by exercise or leaving it alone. More than a million women have regained health by the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. If the slightest trouble appears which you do not understand write to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass, for her advice, and a few timely words from her will show you the right thing to do. This advice costs you nothing, but it may mean life or happiness or both. Mrs. Lelah Stowell, 177 Wellington St., Kingston, Ont., writes: "Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—You are indeed a need to women, and if they all knew what could do for them, there would be no need air dragging out miserable lives in agony. I suffered for years with bearing-down pains, trouble, nervousness, and excruciating head-but a few bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound made life look new and promising to me. I am light and happy, and I do not know what sickness is, and I now enjoy the best of health." "Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—You are indeed a goddess to women, and if they all knew what you could do for them, there would be no need of their dragging out miserable lives in agony. "I suffered for years with bearing-down pains, womb trouble, nervousness, and excruciating headache, but a few bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound made life look new and promising to me. I am light and happy, and I do not know what sickness is, and I now enjoy the best of health." Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound can always be relied upon to restore to women who thus suffer. It is a sovereign cure for female complaints,—that bearing-down feeling, weak attachment of the womb, inflammation of the ovaries, andrus or womb.

Useful gifts to any traveller are the rubber or oil silk lined toilet sets. These consist of a bag for sponge and wash rug, and a flat case, with flaps, for soap, comb, tooth brush, nail brush and hair brush. The cases are made of white or tinted linen, embroidered in contrasting color, with white as a favorite. These who do not embroider can bind the edges of their cases and bags with narrow colored ribbon. Only a traveller can realize the comfort of these rubber lined cases. They occupy less room than anything else made for the purpose, and keep the dressing bag and its contents perfectly dry. A lap robe, crocheted, knitted or otherwise, is another useful gift to the traveller. Its usefulness need not be dilated unh. Still another serviceable gift is a combination pillow and bag. This consists of a long piece of linen, denim or cretonne, sewed together part of the way and stuffed to form a pillow. The portion that is left open is turned up on the side of the pillow and sewed-to it at each end, leaving an open pocket into which a shawl, book or fancy work, or all three may be tucked. A strap of the same material is fastened to the ends of the pillow, which can be carried in the hand or slung over the shoulder. Such pillows are usually made in dull colors and simply worked around the border, on the strap and the hem of the pocket with feather stitching. A narrow linen or cotton braid would be quite as pretty. Most women who go to the mountains are so charmed by the beauty of the ferns that they yield to the temptation to dig up the graceful clusters and decorate their rooms with them. Unfortunately, crinkled paper and other coverings for flower pots cannot be procured in most mountain resorts, and even they who still ferns in tomato cans do not always hide their prestige gimmer with birch bark. Travellers in the mountains, therefore, would be grateful for something to cover their fern dishes. The giver of gifts would do well to fashion a number of bottomless bags, about the depth of a tomato can and large enough to fit around a small wooden pall, of green denim or silkoline, with a green ribbon passed through little cords on the outside or run through a hem at the top and bottom. This draws the cloth into place and is tied in a bow. The woman who goes to sea knows the comfort induced by a pair of silk sheets which do not have that clammy feeling found in linen and cotton sheets on shipboard. Made of cheap, soft China or India silk, such a gift may be adorned with fancy stitching on the hems and a monogram embroidered in the corner. Pretty bottles of smelling salts, lavender and camphor are more acceptable to the traveller than a box of candy—Washington Star. CONFUSED. "Did you say a chicken chows its food with its gizzard?" asked the little boy with the high forhead. "Yes; that is practically the process." "If that is the case," he queried sweetly, "how can a chicken tell whether it has the toothache or the stomach ache?"—Washington Star. HAPPY COMBINATION. Gladys—She loved him for all she was worth.
