VOL. XVIII. TAFT AND WRIGHT Named for Promotion Anent Vacancy in Cabinet. ROOT VACATES OFFICE Resignation Was Placed in President's Hands August 19th—Will Nominally, Hold, However, Until January 1st. A special dispatch from Oyster Bay says: General Luke E. Wright, of Memphis, Tenn., will succeed Judge Taft as governor general of the Philippines when the latter becomes secretary of war next January, in succession to Elijah Root. President Roosevelt Tuesday afternoon authorized the Associated Press to make the announcement that the port had been offered to General Wright and that he had accepted it. General Wright is now a member of the Philippines commission and vice governor of the islands. He is a life long democrat. President Roosevelt spoke in terms of high praise of General Wright's ability and fitness for the position of governor general. He entertains a satire regard for him both personally and officially. Both the president and Secretary Root regard General Wright as a man of proved executive ability, his services as a member of the Philippines commission, having been of a distinguished character. During Governor Taft's sojourn in this country General Wright was acting governor general and his conduct of the office was a source of congratulation to the administration. General Wright is popular not only with Americans in the Philippines, but also with the Filipinos, who hold him only second in their estimation to Governor Taft. Secretary Root, under date of August 19, presented his resignation formally to the president. The resignation was accepted by the president with the understanding that Mr. Root continue as secretary of war at least until the first of January next. President Roosevelt Tuesday authorized the following statement: "The president some months ago tendered the secretaryship of war to Judge Taft and at that time it was arranged that he would succeed Secretary Root. Secretary Root will go out of office some time in January and Judge Taft will assume the duties of the office shortly afterward." The president also authorized the publication of the correspondence between him and Secretary Root concerning the latter's resignation. In his letter of resignation Mr. Root says he wishes to retire to private life and unlikes his resignation should be in the apppresident's hands before his departure for England to attend the sessions of the Alaskan boundary commission. Mr. Root concludes: "I shall carry with me unabated loyalty to your administration, confidence in the sound conservatism and patriotic unselfishness of your policy and enduring gratitude for the kindness and consideration with which your frendship has honored me." To this letter the president replied at length, saying in part: "It is hard indeed for me to accept your resignation, and I do so not only with keen personal regret, but with a lively understanding of the gap your withdrawal will create in public life. My sense of personal loss is very great, and yet my sense of the loss to the nation as a whole, is even greater. You have been over four years secretary of war. I wonder if you yourself realize how much you have accomplished during that period. "Your duties have included more than merely the administration of the department and reorganization of the army on an effective basis. You have also been the head of the department which dealt with the delicate problems involved in our possession of the Philippine islands, and your success in dealing with this part of the work has been as signal as your success in dealing with the purely military problems. A SHOWER OF TOADS. Heavy Rain In Salt Lake City Was Accompanied by Frogs. A rain of toad frogs practically blocked traffic in Salt Lake City, Utah. Sunday, for half an hour just before noon. A light rain was falling all the morning. Just before 11:30 o'clock this changed into quite a hard rain, which was accompanied by a large number of toads. Pedestrians who did not mind the rain, were more than averse to taking up a collection of frogs, and until the unusual shower coaxed the frogs had the residue to themselves. HUMBERTS CONVICTED. Most Sensational and Greatest Swindling Trial in Paris Comes to Close with 'Verdict of Gulity. One of the greatest criminal trials in the history of France culminated at Paris Saturday night when the jury in the court of assizes rendered a verdict of guilty against Therese and Frederic Humber and Romain and Emile d'Aurignac. After a brief deliberation the court sentenced Therese and Frederic Humber each to five years and to pay a fine of 100 francs. Emile d'Aurignac to three years and Romain d'Aurignac to two years. The verdict was reached after the jury had been out four and a half hours. When the verdict was pronounced, Therese and Frederic Humber wept, embracing each other. Therese Humbert seemed to be hopeful until the last, maintaining that the jury was certain to bring in a verdict of acquittal. Even after condemnation her emotion was only momentary. She soon resumed her self-passion. Turning to the military guard, she indicated her readiness to go back to the 'cells of the Conquereric prison. Although Therese did not indicate whence Regnier's millions came, it was apparently part of her plan to create the impression that Regnier had received a vast sum for inducing Marshal Bazaline to surrender Metz. The inconclusive character of the revelations was shown by the fact that the court did not take the slightest judicial cognizance of them and immediately submitted the case to the jury. The jury likewise treated the revelation as a subterfuge. MOTORMAN SHOOTS PHYSICIAN. In Seeking to Employ Mrs. Potts, Theford Ran Afoul of Husband. At Rome, Ga., Saturday night J. D Potts, a well known young motorman on the City Electric railway, shot and very probably fatally wounded Dr. M. A. Theford, who is the manufacturer of a well known liver medicine. Theford was seeking to employ Mrs. Potts in his laboratory. Before her marriage Mrs. Potts was in the employ of Theford and between that time and this Theford is alleged to have circulated damaging reports concerning her. This Theford denies, but evidently this did not satisfy Potts, who became very much enraged when he heard that Theford was seeking to employ his wife, and when he, and Theford met Saturday afternoon a fierce fight occurred. This was thought to be the end of the matter, until they met again Saturday night, when Potts whipped out his gun and shot Theford. Several shots were fired, one taking effect in the thigh and one in the abdomen. The shooting created intense excitement in the city. Potts is a young man of excellent reputation and has always enjoyed the confidence of the citizens of Rome. Theford is quite wealthy. He is prominently connected and has taken quite an active interest in local politics of late. A very sensational feature of this story, a detail which cannot be verified, is that Thedford is alleged to have called at Potts' house in disguise. It is stated that he tied his long flowing beard behind his ears and blacked his face like a negro. Just why this was done is not known, but there is a persistent rumor abroad that such is a fact. The entire affair is rather mysterious. CONVICTED OF SOLICITING BRIBE State Senator Sullivan, of Missouri, Sentenced to Pay a Fine. At Jefferson City, Mo., State Senator William P. Sullivan, accused of soliciting a bribe for three votes on the anti-alum bill during the session of the legislature last winter, was found guilty and his punishment fixed at $100 fine. ALABAMA MINERS WIN FIGHT. Decision of Arbitration Board is in Their Favor on All Points. The board of arbitration appointed to settle certain matters in controversy between certain coal operators and coal miners in the Birmingham district of Alabama have made to the respective parties in sald controversy a report and awards. On all questions at issue the board decides in favor of the miners. Wages are increased, mines closed to boys and semi-monthly payments conceded. A compromise was reached regarding the eight-hour day controversy: SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. AUGUST 29. 1903. WILSON ANSWERS BUTLER Interesting Passage Between Ex-Senator and Secretary of the Agricultural Department. A Washington special says: Former Senator M. C. Butler, of South Carolina, in an interview published in New York Monday morning, takes Secretary of Agriculture Wilson to task for his recent criticism of the men who are manipulating the present corner in cotton. He says that Messrs. Brown and Kayne, to whom Secretary Wilson refers as gamblers, have done more for the production of cotton in a few months than the department of agriculture has done in ten years. Secretary Wilson, referring to the criticism of Former Senator Butler, said: "I hope the business men of whom he speaks will see to it that these prices continue until the cotton growers sell the cotton crop. "If that would be done I will take off my hat to General Butler and say to him that I regard him as a general public benefactor, who has been able to see further ahead into the future than we poor follows of the department of agriculture. "But if, on the other hand, it should occur that the price of cotton is dropped when the planter is ready to market his new crop down to 7 or 8 cents, instead of 12 or 15, then, of course, I shall still adhere to my opinion that the manipulation of the present cotton corner by the gamblers of whom I spoke is doing infinite mischief." CRUM WAS GOLD-BRICKED. Charleston's Colored Collector of Customs Coralled by Swindlers. In addition to his various troubles as collector of the port at Charleston, W. D. Crum has allowed the famous Daniels gang of New York operators of "get rich quick" schemes to rone him in. Another Charleston victim is Alonzo C. Cambridge, colored, a cigar maker by trade. It is not known how much money Crum and Cambridge are out of pocket, but the list of victims in the possession of the assistant district attorney of New York state, who is prosecuting the case against Daniels, includes the names of Collector Crum and Cambridge. MOB MEMBER SENTENCED. First Conviction Growing Out of the Riots at Danville, Illinois. At Danville, Ill., Tuesday, Winfield Baker, formerly of the mountains of Kentucky, was convicted in the circuit court, of assault to murder Sheriff Whitlock. He was sentenced to a term of from one to fourteen years. This is the first conviction and trial of a member of the mob that attacked the Danville jail the latter part of July, after having lynched the negro, James Metcalf, and burned his body. Inc. trial of eight others accused of being in the mob was begun late in the afternoon. Bessie Lodge, the woman accused of inciting the mob, is too ill to be tried and the trial was postponed. MORE APPALLING ACCOUNTS. Corpses Left Lying in the Streets of Kruschevo are Gnawed by Dogs. Monastir, European Turkey, Tuesday, August 25. The once beautiful city of Kruschevo is a heap of ruins. The women and children are homeless, exposed to the weather and famine. The town is rendered uninhabitable by the odor of corpses, which are being gnawed by dogs and pigs. The Turkish authorities are refusing to allow them to be removed under the pretext that an inquest will be held. NEW DUTY FOR BAGGAGEMEN. In Special Cases They are. Authorized to Act as a Posting Mail Closer. to Act as Regular Mail Clerks. Postmaster General Payne issued a formal order Tuesday authorizing the delivery of unpouched newspaper mail by baggage masters. The regulation is made by amending the postal laws and regulations. Mortal Remains of "Bill Arp" Consigned to Last Resting Place. The funeral of Major Charles H. Smith (Bill Arp) took place from the First Presbyterian church in Gartersville Ga., Wednesday morning, conducted by Rev. H. G. White, pastor of the church, assisted by Rev. Sam P. Jones, the well known evangelist. Pursuant to the wish of the family, in keeping with Major Smith's views of life, there was nothing of an ostentaticus nature, but the funeral was a simple home affair. Many beautiful noral offerings were received. BUTCHERY OF BABES Frightful Turkish Atrocities Kept Up and Intensified. HORRORS·UNPARALLELED Notwithstanding Sultan's Cringe Before Russian Czar, Massacres, Rapine and Incendiarism Hold Full Sway in Macedonia. Advices from Sofia, Bulgaria, under date of Monday, state that the Turks are reported to have massacred all the women and children in twenty-two villages of the districts of Florina and Monastir and to have afterwards burned the villages. They are also alleged to have killed a number of prisoners. With the rumors of massacres and the murder of prisoners in Monastir now authenticated, the general situation is considered as fast becoming intolerable. Official and diplomatic circles alike are concerned, having every reason to fear that only a part of the horrors enacted in the interior of Macedonia have come to light as yet. The revolutionary committees are doing their utmost to force the hands of the Bulgarian government and the immediate outlook is exceedingly serious. It appears that the Turks have obtained the upper hand in the vilayet of Monastir and the insurgents are planning to remove the center of the activity close to the Bulgarian frontiers. Additional dispatches received in Sofia, Monday, from the disturbed area are exceedingly gloomy. From Adrianople comes news which denotes the extension of the revolutionary outbreak; from Monastir the news of Turkish victories accompanied by barbarous excess. While many of the reports remain without confirmation, sufficient authentic details are forthcoming to cause the authorities the greatest anxiety. According to the Sofia Dnavnik, the Turks committed unspeakable atrocities at Krushevo. The mutilated corpses of nineteen women and children were found in one building; pieces of bodies had been thrown into the streets. Fifteen of the principal merchants of the town were killed and their heads exhibited on poles. At Monastir the churches were demolished, the houses sacked and the town is now in a heap of ashes. The populace fled to the hills, where they are in a starving condition. The Dnevnik also asserts that a general massacre has taken place in the wnole village of Monastir. Nearly all of the villages have been destroyed. The treacherous murder of eighty insurgent prisoners by the guards near Monastir has made an especially bad impression in Sofia. Many rumors are current of massacres in the city of Adrianople, but confirmation is lacking. The situation there, however, undoubtedly is serious. The population is afraid to leave the houses. The prisons are full and the vail has taken private houses to be usen as jails. When the Russian consul protested at the situation, the vail is reported to have answered that he was powerless against that fanatical population. Reports from Monastir, authenticated by the Russian and Austrian consuls, give horrifying details of the massacres and atrocities. At the village of Armensko the Turks destroyed 150 houses out of a total of 157 and massacred every man, woman and child. The women were subjected to the most terrible atrocities by the soldiers. Eighty revolutionaries, captured at Krushevc, who were sent in the direction of Monastir in chains, were slaughtered by their guards. RICHMOND CAR STRIKE ENDS. Trouble Lasted Slxty-Nine Days and Cost Approximately $255,000 Cost Approximately $255,000. The strike of street railway employees at Richmond, Va., was officially declared off shortly after noon Monday. It had lasted just sixty-nine days, and is estimated to have cost the street car company $125,000; the strikers, in loss of wages, $50,000; the state, by reason of the necessity for troops, $75,000, and the city for special police, etc., $5,000. COLOMBIANS TO RECONSIDER. Senate to Resume Consideration of the Subject of Canal Treaty. the Subject of Canal Treaty. Unofficial, but what is considered entirely reliable information, has been received by Dr. Herran, the Colombian charge d'affaires in Washington, indicating an intention on the part of the Colombian senate to resume consideration of the subject of a Panama canal treaty in place of the one disapproved by that body on the 12th instant. This shows a decided change in the arm of affairs and the matter may yet be carried to a successful conclusion. In First Race Swift Reliance Proves Too Much for Lipton's Muchly Vaunted Cup Challenger. A New York dispatch says: In a splendid 12 to 15 knot breeze, over a windward and leeward course of thirty miles, the gallant sloop Reliance, in Saturday's race, beat Shamrock III on commanding style by exactly nine minutes, actual time, or seven minutes and three seconds after deducting the one minute and fifty-seven seconds which the defender concedes to Sir Thomas Lipton's third challenger on account of her sail area as at present measured. It was a royal water fight for the ancient trophy, which carries with it its yachting supremacy of the world and by a strange coincidence the first victory in the cup series of 1903 occurred on the fifty-second anniversary of the day on which the old schooner America captured it in her famous race around the Isle of Wight, off the English coast. The Rellance beat the British boat three minutes and twenty-four seconds in the thresh to windward and five minutes and thirty-six seconds in the run down the wind. The nautical sharps, who had already made up their minds on Thursday that the Reliance could take the measure of the challenger in any kind of weather, regard Saturday's test as conclusive, although they hardly anticipated so overwhelming a victory. The race even dampened the ardor of Sir Thomas, who insisted, after Thursday's fluke, that his confidence in the beautiful craft designed by Fife, was greater than ever. Still, like a true sportsman, he does not acknowledge defeat and hopes for better luck next time. DEATH GRIPS LORD SALISBURY. Great English Statesman Has Joined the Silent Majority. A special from London says: Lord Sallisbury died peacefully at 9:05 o'clock Saturday night. For forty-eight hours the end was seen to be inevitable, the great frame of England's former premier being sustained only by the constant use of oxygen. Even the administration of oxygen failed of effect as the evening advanced, and from the valley and enshrouded the from th valley and enshrouded the dull red walls of Hatfield house the distinguished statesman breathed his last. Viscount Cranborne, who now assumes the title of marquis of Sallisbury, immediately notified King Edward and Queen Alexandra and others, including Lord Edward Cecil, the soldier son of Lord Sallisbury, who is now in Egypt, and who was the only child of the marquis absent from the death bed. Soon messages of condolence began coming in and the little telegraph office at Hatfield was swamped with unprecedented business. The death of Lord Sallisbury occurred on the fifteenth anniversary of his entry into public life as a member of the house of commons from Stamford. ROOSEVELT THANKED. Birmingham Citizens' Alliance Approves Action in Miller Case. The Citizens' Alliance, composed of business men and others, at Birmingham, Ala., has sent the following communication to President Roosevelt: "To His Excellency, Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States—Sir: At the last meeting of the Citizen's Alliance of Birmingham, Ala., a non-political organization of business and professional men, your action in restoring to his position the book binder in the government printing office, who had been discharged by the public printer because of his expulsion from a trades union and the position you have since taken, viz: That men who are employed in any department of the government service and who do not care to be members of any labor organization, must be protected, were very heartily commended. "In obedience to instructions by the alliance we hereby tender you the sincere thanks of the body." PAGSENGER COACH SUNDERED. Stock Car Crashes Into Train on Crossing, Injuring Sixty People. Thirty or more passengers were seriously injured, some perhaps fatally, by a peculiar collision at the junction of the Illinois Central and Lake Eric and Western railroad near Bloomington, Ill., Monday. While a passenger train on the latter road was passing over the crossing, a car of stock, which was being pushed by a switch engine, broke loose and dashed into the side of the passenger train with terrific force, breaking the coach in two and injuring nearly every one of the sixty occupants. Promply Yeilds to Every Demand Made by Russia. Murderers of Consul Executed and Officers Implicated are Dismissed and Handed Over to the Law. Reforms are Instituted. A special from St. Petersburg, under Sunday's date, says: The Russian Black sea squadron, which was ordered to Turkish waters, and which arrived at Inlada, eastern European Turkey, August 19, to support Russia's demands on the sultan, growing out of the assassination of M. Rostkowski, Russian consul at Monastir, has been recalled to Sebastapol, the squadron's point of departure. The squadron sailed soon after. The recall followed a notification from the porte that the sultan had ordered all the Russian demands to be complied with. The dispatch received from M. Zirovieff, Russian ambassador, at Constantinople, announce that the sultan has yielded completely to Russia's demands. The news has reached St. Petersburg, from Brussels, that the porte has requested Belgium to nominate four officers for the Turkish gendarmie. Turkey Very Prompt. A Constantinople dispatch says: The porte's reply, accepting the Russian demands, was delivered two hours after the presentation of the Russian note—a promptitude most unusual in the history of Turkish diplomacy. Tewfik Pasha, the foreign minister, and Naum Patha thereupon called on M. Zinovleff, the Russian ambassador, and requested the withdrawal of the Russian squadron from Turkish waters, on the ground that its presence tended to encourage the insurrection. On the receipt of a favorable reply from St. Petersburg, M. Zinovleff telegraphed the order of withdrawal to Admiral Krieger, commanding the Russian squadron at Inlada. A rumor has been current that the sultan appealed to the German emperor to use his good offices at St. Petersburg in favor of the recall of the Russian squadron. Pacification Measures. The porte has taken the following measures to fulfill the demands of the Russian government, according to a dispatch from the Russian 'ambassador at Constantinople: "In addition to the condemnation and execution of M. Rostkowski's murderers and the punishment of their accomplices, those officers who made disrespectful allusions to M. Rostkowski are dismissed from the service. A careful search is being made for persons who fired at the consul's carriage. "All the officials, twenty-four in number, whose names were handed to the porte as objects of unfavorable comment by the Russian ambassador, are relieved of their posts and handed over to justice. All private persons mentioned in the same list as guilty of various offenses will likewise be tried. "Ismal Ruki Pasha, the chief of police at Palanka, province of Uskub, is restored to his post." "The persons under arrest for accusing Mussulmans of outrage and abuse are liberated." BIG BATTLESHIP LAUNCHED. The Cruiser Pennsylvania Leaves the Ways at Cramp Ship Yards. An occasion which will be memorable in the history of Pennsylvania transpired Saturday, when the giant armored cruiser Pennsylvania was launched at the yards of the William Cramp Ship and Engine Building Company. Under the prow of the Pennsylvania was erected a timber superstructure, from which nearly 2,000 specially invited guests witnessed the launching. RELENTLESS WAR ON VAGRANTS Authorities in Albany, Ga., Begin Putting New Law Into Operation. The authorities of Dougherty county, Ga., have wasted no time in beginning operations under the new vagrancy law. Albany has been cursed for years by a horde of idlers who refuse to work, and all efforts to get rid of them have failed. Wednesday afternoon Sheriff Edwards organized a posse and assisted by the police, proceeded to make a clean sweep of the city. Many of the vagrants were taken by surprise, and arrests were made by the wholesale The Savannah Tribune. PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY, BY THE TRIBUNE PUBLISHING CO 116 W. St. Julian Street. Gn.

THE Grand Lodge of Odd-Fellows which closed its labors at Atlanta last week was in better condition financially than it had been for years, and much of the credit therefore is due to P.G.M., W.A.Pledger as treasurer and his labor with the executive board, a larger balance being turned over to his successor than ever before by a Grand Treasurer. As chairman of the arrangement committee he worked earnestly and zealously and was successful in carying out the interesting public ceremonies. His paper, the Atlanta Age was selected as the official organ of the G. U.O. of O.F. for two years. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT's letter to Gov. Durbin of Indiana commending his forceful action at Evanville in dealing with a mob which undertook to take the law in its own hands, thereby showing their contempt for the courts of justice and for law and order, has become a memorable document. The President's letter has had the effect of stimulating other Governors to endorse the Indiana Governor's action in having the military to deal summarily with a mob that tried to run the States business, by hanging a dying and probably worthless colored man charged with the crime of murder. The President calls upon all good citizens, black and, white to show their abhorence of all crimes by assisting in apprehending criminals and stop the crime of lynching will have great effect and will have a tendency to check the horrible crimes which are disgracing our country and civilization. It is charged that the U. S. naval officers are discriminating against colored men in the navy. That recruiting officers will not enlist them, and that those already in the navy are being discriminated against by the officers, and this being observed by the heretofore honest Jackies on the vessels they have commenced to show their prejudice also. Unless the navy is disciplined in this matter, it will become the duty of the colored men of the nation representing 10,000,000 people to fight this unreasonable position of the navy by contending for another Naval Academy with a view of graduating colored officers, and to have at least now, a number of vessels manned by colored crews. It is a great wrong the Republic is committing against one-sixth of its population who are loyal and devoted to its principles, in permitting officers who are paid and supported from the general revenue of the government, to show their official prejudice against its faithful, true and tried colored citizens. HON. JUDSON W. LYONS. Georgia's National Committeeman is in great demand as an orator and race thinker in the North and West. His last speech was in Maryland, on the fortiest anniversary of the race's emancipation. The Washington Star in reporting Mr. Lyons' speech saws: "He showed by facts and figures that the colored man had come up to the highest expectation of his most ardent friends, and asserted with great emphasis that if the ballot had failed in the hands of the colored American it was not because of inherent weakness or venality on his part; that as he had been the bravest soldier in the army of bread winners, fairly making his section of the country blossom and bloom with prosperity, he had been absolutely self-denying and earnest in his maintenance of his right to vote—to cast one ballot and have it honestly counted, as long as he had any show whatever in the world to do that; that no class of Americans had shown a higher sense of patriotism in the exercise of the ballot than he had, and that now and at all times, as long as there was any hope for the right, whether in commerce, finance or what not, the colored man was ready to make the highest sacrifice for the honor of his country. In every war that had swept across the bosom of the republic the colored soldier had gallantly fought. "In the seven years' war for independence he had followed the warring fortunes of the "father of his country" until peace and independence were proclaimed to mankind. In every subsequent war he had fought and died upon bloody battlefields that the state might live, and the bleaching bones of colored soldiery lay in every commonwealth of the republic from Massachusetts to Texas. "Continuing the speaker referred in denunciatory language to the general lawlessness now prevalent in the country and warmly command- ed President Roosvelt's letter on that subject. Mr. Lyons also paid has respect to John Temple.Graves for the latter's utterances in this regard. "He advised the colored people to separate themselves completely—a thing which he knew they were doing at present—from the criminal class of the race, and to throw their influence with the officers of the law for the punishment of crime, whether the criminal be a white man or a black man. "These sentiments met with the hearty approval of the vast audience, evidenced by their loud applause and great cheering." The electrib line of street cars run and controlled soley by colored business men of Jacksonville, is now in operation. The Metropolis says the following of the line: "The North Jacksonville Street Railway will be ready for business next Saturday, and the Company will find that the colored people will liberally patronize it. "The company is the result of the enterprise of leading colored people, and the line penetrates a thickly setled portion of the city." "The new road begins at the corner of Bay and Clay streets, runs north on Clay to State and thence to the King's road, to Durkee's shell road, to the city limits. The new cars have arrived and are up-to-date in every particular. The motormen and conductors will be colored men. Berean Convention. The Berean Baptist Sunday School Convention convened at Darien, Ga., last week in the 2nd A. B. Church. Promptly at 10 o'clock on Friday morning, the president, Rev. R. H. Thomas, called the body to order. The welcome address was delivered by Mrs. L. D. Lewis, of Darien, and was responded to by Mrs. Julia Woodruff of 1st Bryan Baptist Church, Savannah; after which the officers were elected as follows: Rev. R. H. Thomas, College, Ga., Pres.; Rev. H. L. Heywood, Savannah, Vice-Pres.; L. G. Fleming, Savannah, Recording Secy.; J. H. Moultrie, Savannah, Corresponding Secy.; Mrs. M. M. Mills, Savannah, Treas.; Mrs. L. D. Lewis, Darien, and Miss Harriet Delagall, Harris Neck, Auditors, and a Finance committee consisting of Miss Carrie B. Hendrickson, and Messrs. R. M. Davis and O. F. Waters. It was a source of great regret to the convention that Mr. W. N. Nelson who had served as corresponding secretary for several years tendered his resignation as he had accepted a new field of labor and could no longer serve. Much good work has been done by this excellent young man, and the convention expressed its appreciation thereof. The introductory sermon was preached by Rev. S. Beanford of Waycross. The annual address of the president was inspiring and full of thought. The Sunday school address was delivered by the writer on Friday night, and a solo was sweetly sung by Misses Willie D. Browne, and Anna O. Newsome, and some useful institute work was set forth by Rev. J. M. Jones. On Saturday night an expression and song service was conducted by Mr. C. F. Waters, who announced to the citizens that on that night he would sing a song in memory of a well known and beloved man who at one time was a native of Darien. Of course the citizens were out in large numbers to hear, and Mr. Waters beautifully rendered the song "Will There Be Any Star In My Crown" and announced that it was in honor of the lamented and beloved, Rev. L. B. Maxwell. Requests from many had the same repeated on Sunday at the mass meeting. At this service commendable papers were rendered on Sunday Work, among which was a very good one by Miss Frances Tropey of Savannah, and a beautiful duet by Mrs. K. A. Tyson and Mr. J. E. Johnson. At night the Rev. H. M. Raifford, D. D., preached a doctrinal sermon that was just to the point, and while he expounded the doctrine of the Baptist Church, in a forceful manner, he did so without refringing on any other denomination or doctrine. The convention did some excellent work during the year. About $24.00, were expended for Bibles and other literature for the Sunday School within its bounds that were needy. The next session of the convention will be held at Waycross, Ga., at First A. B. Church, Rev. S. Beauford, pastor. To show its appreciation of the untiring labor of President Thomas, the convention assisted in sending him to the National Convention. The people of Darion as is always true of them, left no stone unturned to make the delegates happy. Through the efforts of Rev Thomas, Mr. J. A. Handy and Mrs. M. S. Grant, the rail roads extended the limit of the tickets and most of the delegates remained over on Monday and enjoyed a day's outings at the great summer resort of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Hutchinson. THE TRINES' representative was tenderly cared for at the ideal home of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Graham. Rev. U. L. Lawton of Robertsville, S. O., after contending for two years with a malady that would not yield to the skill of physicians died in fall triumph of the christian faith on the 4 inst. Rev. Lawton was the first colored baptist preacher in this section and one of the foremost in the organization of the association to which he belonged. He was an earnest and faithful gospel minister. His life of forty years has been spent among his people and his church. The church has lost an able and conscientious minister. Not only the church but the community at large suffers a great loss in his death but we trust our loss is heaven's gain. He leaves a wife and several children and a host of friends to mourn his loss. J. B. Bascomb. Social Circles. Mrs. Jas. R. Davis entertained on Tuesday afternoon in honor of Mrs. George Stoney of Augusta, Ga., and Miss Florence Clyde of Charleston, S. C. The time was spent quite pleasantly. Games of different kinds were played, such as love story which was won by Miss Clyde, and a game of music by Miss Alice Ellis. In a grateful manier souvenirs were presented by the hostess to Miss Clyde and Ellis, and at a late hour the guests were shown into the dining room where impromptu refreshments were served. The ladies were greatly amused at the gypsy, Miss Georgia A. Hurd, in her fortune telling. Prof. Williams' orchestra furnished music for the happy event. The ladies present were Mrs George Stoney, Miss Florence Clyde, Mrs. J. Habersham, Mrs. M. Branham, Mrs. G. Middleton, Mrs. F. Curley, Miss Alice Ellis, Miss Helen Ellis, Miss Georgia Hurd, and Miss Anna Rannair. At the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey, Mrs. Jennie Dobecle was very pleasantly surprise on Thursday night last week, led by Miss M. V. Houston and Mrs. T. D. Merritt. She was entertained by the East End Quartette of whom were Messers Wm. Norman, C. McGrath, J. H. Coston, J. Sanders, also by the headband by Messers Vardy, Life, Fontan and Brogadale. Others present were Misses Lillian Adderson, Nora Payne; Meadames L. A. Speed Florance Gardder; Messers George Gilmore, Joseph Manley, S. S. Jones, E. R. Williams.

Here's One Jack Tar“Who Cannot Ber come ® Landsman, ‘The pecullar manner’in which sailors become wedded to the sea was exem- plifed recently for about the twenty- fifth time in the history of a Wash- ington Jack Tar who hag beep in the navy for thirty-five years. He has a friend who Keeps a cigar store on Pennsylvania avenue: whom he makes it a point to visit on ‘the occasion of every discharge for a friendly smoke and ‘chat about old times. On cach occasion he hag declared in the most positive and vehement language -tliat the life of a naval sallor Js worse than that of a dog, and that It Is bis last term in Uncle Sam's nary, having come home to stay, ete. ‘There was a time when the clgar store man believed these statements, ‘uttered with such fervor and positive assurance, but for years past he has paid no heed to them, for the reason ‘that of the twenty-five or thirty some odd times in avhich the old salt made such a declaration he always appeared the following morning in uniform, de- claring that he “missed the boys,” ete., and that he bad re-enilsted for another year’s service, This man Is fairly provident and Prosperous, and the father of a large and interesting family, -but the fas- cination of sallor Ife has proved too strong for him in every case, and after a day or two of inaction he has returned to the old life. The last time he was discharged be wanted to bet two or three of his friends $10 he "would never return to the navy, but they were not disposed to take an un- fair advantage of him; and sure enough two or three days later he re-enllsted, donned his uniform and is now once more on the briny deep.—Washington Poet. . Length of Heg's Intestines,” Darwin states that the nature of the tood supplied the plg by man bas ev!- dently changed the length of the intes- tines. He quotes Cuvier as reporting the total length of the Intestines of the wild boar to be nine times the body length; In the domestic boar 12.5 to one; in the Slam boar, sixteen to one. ‘The writer measured the intestines of thirty-nine fattened hogs and found that the large intestine varied from thirteen to sixteen feet, and thé small intestine from fifty-four to sixty feet iu length. The average extreme body length of these animals was 3.5 feet. This makes the small intestine alone from sixteen to nineteen times’ the length of the body,'and the large and small intestine combined about twenty. one times the body length. irom these figures it appears that the Intestines of pigs of the improved breeds are longer in proportion to the body than those given ly Cuvier. Thismay Indicate that the modern pig can digest bis food more thoroughly than his ancestors. and also that he can eat a larger quan: ‘tity of food In a given time.—Professor AW. Av'Henry, : i .

He's sitting In the hall on the stalrpost. I just loves him,” the other cherub added. “You shall hear abéut Venus aud Cupid, too,” sald the Sweetest Mo ther. “Cupld was the son of Venus. Some’ of the old fables say that Ve- nus was the daughter of Jupiter and Dione. Others say that Venus sprang from the foam of the sea. The zephyrs wafted her along the waves to the Isle of Cyprus and from there took her to the assembly of the gods on Mount Olympia. All tho gode were charmed with her beauty, and each one wanted to marry her. But Jupiter gave her to Vulcan because he thotght Vulcan was a fine fel- low and deservgd a reward for forg- ing thunderbolts so successfully. And that is the way it Rappened that the most beaut#ul of all the goddesses became the wife of the most {ll-fav- vred of gods. A very Interesting thing that fs told about Venus is that her girdle, which was called Cestus, had the power of inspiring love. Her favorite birds were swans and doves, which dre even now emblems of love and affection. The flower-posies which she Mked most, of all were street roses and myrtlo, “Cupid, the darling tnild, was the constant companion of his mother, who loved him dearly. Youshave o ten scen pictures of Cupid with his little bow and arrow. He is on all valentines, which are supposed, to bo love messages. z “There is a very sweet story about Cupid and a lovely girl named Psyce. Tomorrow night you shall hear all abent it In a great and wonderful bullding In Rome there {s a wouder. ful blt of sculpture, showing these two famous sweethearts. Many great writers told the story, and you should know about it. Milton wrote about them, and William Moryis an dear Tom Moore and Lewis! Morris and Keats and Coleridge, and others too, that you will enjoy reading when you mre big. Psyche !s the Greek name for soul; it also signitys but. ‘terfly. Pletures of sweet little Psyche always show her with fragile little wings.” “Must be funny to be a butterfly,” sald one cherub. “Fine to play alt ship, wouldn’t t?” “Oh, Psyche wasn't silly Jike that,” remarked the other chcrub In a lordly way. “She wouldn't play ,air ship. she wouldr’t.” , But the first cherub got even, for he pouted and muttered: “Would toot, But sho would Wouldn't sho, Mommy?"—Helen Fol lett, ‘n Chicago Record-Herald. Mr. Carnegie recently said in an ad- dress toa British audience, while com- paring their country to ours: “Your rate of increase in population must soon begin to diminish, You are al- ready full up. We are only beginuing. We have plenty of territory entirely unexplored, where there will some day fi: a great population. Your’ colonies are not increasing. Australia seems full, It is a mere rind around an empty fnterior. South Africa is not a white man’s country, and your government's policy of encouraging emigration there, especiafly of women, is almost 2 crime.” A FAIR WARNING.

At the Lewis and Clark centennial celebration, to be held in Portland, Oregon, in 1905, louglelayed recog: nition wi}l be pald to oue of the hero- ines of American bistoxy, the Shoshone Indian girl, calle Sacajawea, who acted as guide to the exploring party. At the time of the appearance of Ms. Eva Emery Dye's romantie narrative, “The Conquest,” which ‘described the first crossing of the American conti- nent, the suggestion was made that {t would be fitting to erect a statne of this Indian heroine at the Louistana Purchase Exhibition at St. Louls, the ‘Missourl town being the starting point of the Lewis and Clark expedition in 1804. + It is now announced, however, that the statue to the memory of Sacajawea wil! be erected at Portland at the time of the Lewis and Clark centennial, Women, appropriately enough, bave taken up the project of the statue. The women of Oregon, Washington. Idaho, Montana and the Dakotas will be called upon to Interest themsclves in the matter. It Is proposed to erect a statue, costing not more than $6000, and it is further proposed that a woman sculptor, Miss Alice Cooper, of Colorado, be given the commission. Miss Dye in her story gave full credit to the part played by Sacajawea In the successful expedition Ied by Lewis and Clark. She was first met by the explorers in thelr winter camp among tHe Mandans. She was a captive, a Shoshone girl only sixteen, but mar- ried to a French halt-breed interpreter. In the spring when the party moved forward, Sacajawea accompanied ft with her husband and child. She proved of inestimable service. Keen, quick-witted, with the instinct almost pf the homing pigeon, she was the best of guides. At one time, when lack of horses meant frustration of all glans and almost certain failure of the, ex- pedition, it was the Indian girl who cajoled the Shoshones into toaning thelr horses, ani thus permitted the men to press forward. Sacajawea aiso guided the party on Sts return trip. It Is sald she seemed fully to reallze the {mportance of the expedition and to desire its success a3 much ag the leaders.

Although the English sparrow has managed Jn Inrge measure to banish from its haunts Marger native birds, and even the courageous little wren, there 1s one smaller bird of which it Is afraid, This tiny but formidable enemy is the hummingbird. ‘The familiar principle of physics that the striking power of a body in motion Js equal to its weight multiplied by Its yelocity is the sceret of tlie humming- bird's superiority over the sparrow. The -hummingbird’s weight Is small, but its speed Is high, and its buzzing haste bas genuine terror for its larger enemy. ‘The uneasy crles of a sparrow at- tracted the attention of an observer the other day, who presently discovered the sparrow sitting well up in a plue tree. Just within a foot of the fright- ened bird buzzed a hummingbird, Its inisty wings and keen beak suggesting a tiny aerial ram In filght and bent up- on puncturing some greater craff in the alr. ‘The sparrow stood its ground until the beak seemed about to plerce its breast, aud then took filght, with the angry ttle hummingbird in hot pur- sult. The hiimmingbird soon returned, apparently having given up the chase, poselbly because ft had driven the enemy far enough trom the nest. THE LIME-IUICE ISLAND.

The flesty had practically all disappeared from thé skeleton, hut the scalp and hale still remained in part. The clothing was rotted away fo that it was of little use for Gurposes of {dentlfication.

For several years she has been suffering with asthma, but at the time of her death she was apparently better off than usual. She conversed with those of the household about one hour of her death, and after her evening devotions as was her habit, she retired. Soon after retiring she was aroused by a fit of coughing and before any medical assistance could be given she passed away. Sometime prior to her death she had remarked that she was tired of life; that she had endeavor to live a Christian, and that she was ready to change this world for the one beyond. Mrs. Tufts was a staunch member of the Second Baptist church and stood by it at all times, doing her full duty. The funeral occurred from the church on Saturday afternoon, last, Rev. Dr. Durham, officiating. The deceased leaves no relatives except her daughter, and son-in-law Mrs. Cassie and Mr. A. B. Cooper, who have the sympathy of a host of friends in their bereavement. Mr. J. W. Williams a young man well known about town and who has just recently been married, was drowned on last Sunday afternoon at Cattle Park while in bathing. According to the statement of those who saw the sad occurrence, Mr. Williams who could swim but a very little, unknowingly swam beyond his depth and when he tried to touch bottom there was none to be found, and before assistance could reach him he was drowned. His friends after making an unsuccessful search for the body, it being late in the afternoon the search was given up until Monday morning, when he was found almost the same place where he went down. Mr. Moore the proprietor of the place while speaking of the accident said: "No one regrets the drowning more than I, but as to the saying that Mr. Williams was drowned in a suckhole is untrue, because the place where he got drowned is a place where swimmers generally swim every day." He was buried on Tuesday afternoon from the residence of his mother-in-law, 419 Purse street, by the Orions Aid and Social Club of which he was a prominent member. Besides a wife he leaves a mother, sister, brother and a host of fiends. Mrs. L. M. Pleasant, relict of the late Capt. L. M. Pleasant, died on Tuesday night last. For quite a number of years she has been an invalid and her death has been constantly expected. The funeral took place from Beth-Eden Baptist church on Thursday afternoon, Rev. R Kemp, officiating. She leaves children and a host of relatives to mourn his loss. Locals. The National Convention of Congregational Workers among colored workers will meet in Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 19-23.
