‘The steamer Inchulva, of Liverpool,
owned by the Inch Shipping Company,
from Galveston, loaded with lumber
and cotton seed meal and bound tor
Hampton Roads far coal, went ashore
near Beynton Friday night at 9
o'clock. The ship's steering gear broxe

At Palm Beach the damage was sé
rious. Grunber's opera house was par-
Wally unroofed as well as his business
block on Narcissus’ street and‘ nis
warehouse. The Seminole block sut-
tered heavily and the Palm's block to
a smaller extent. The roof of Tre
Tropical, San bullding is gone and all
the glasitin the lower front blown out.
The Lake@yyvorth News was also a
heavy sufféger. Tho Masonic temple,
the Dade @8tfhty state bank and the
new Jefferson block were also grea"ly
damaged. A large portion of the roof
of the Jatler was torn off.
‘All ths boats on the lake front, ex-
cept thrée, were sunk and are total
wrecks. On the east side the loss Is
heavy, The hotel Royal Polnciana was
slightly damaged.
Beyond blowing dowh a number af
trees and Ieaving a few small houses

crop has been cut off around Tamoa
"and one-fourth of the east coast,
There were no wires working south

layed,
BULGARIA WARNS ALLIES,
Issues Ultimatum Calling for Inter
vention to Stop Massacres,
Swift Action Demanded,
A special of Monday from Sofla, Bul-
garla, says: The Bulgarian govern-
ment, through its foreign representa-
tives, hae addressed a note to the
great powers declaring that the porte
is systematically devastating Macedo-
nla and massacreing the Christian
population, Further it says that Tur-
key has mobilized her whole army,
which cannot possibly be for the sole
purpose ef suppressing the revolution.
Thersfors, the Bulgarian government
appeals to the humane sentiment of
Europe .o prevent the continuance of
the massacres and devastation and to
stop thé mobilization of the, Turkish
army.
. The wemorandum concludes with
the plain statement that unless the
powers {intervene Bulgaria will be
forced to take such measures as she
may deem necessary.
How London.views Situation,
‘The important note sent by Bulgaria
to the powers, declaring that unless
the latter intervene in Macedonia, Bul-
garla will be forced to take such meas-
ures as she may deem necessary, Is
held in London to bo @ prelude to the
mobillzacion cf the Bulgarian army un-
less Europe exerts herself in some
way to prevent a confilct and there fs
probably some connection between
this eventually and the decision of thp
revolutionists to revert to guerilla
tactics which may be in order to -e-
serve thelr resources for co-operation
with Bulgaria,
It Was announced In Sofia Monday
morning that Princo Ferdinand will re-
turn to the Bulgarian capital from
Buxingrsd in a few days when the
government will take'some decisive
steps, 7 :
“WILL IS A FORGERY.”
Declares Noted Handwriting Expert
Who Examined Alleged Collier
Tissue Paper Testament,
That the signature to the tissuo pa-
per, Collier will was’ not that of G.
‘W, Collier. was the essenco of tlie testl-
mony given in Atlanta, Ga, Tuesday
afternoon by BE. F. Hey, the noted
‘Washington, D. C., handwriting ex-
pert.
Mr. Hay doclared that the slenature
attached to the will was a sorgery,
“The document was manufactured
throughout,” he sald, “and the same
hand that wrote the body of the paper
also wrote the signature,”
Later he sald: “George W. Collier;
bolug a man about 90 years of age,
could not poseibly have written that
signature as It is thore written on
such a thin plece of paper”
The hearing was held in Judge
Roan's chambers at the court house,
and beside Judge Bateman, one of the
executora named in the alleged will,

another famous handwriting expert, is
also in the clty and has examined the
will at the Instance of the Collier chill
‘dren. He did not give his testimony
[at the hearing, howover. Both Mr.
Carvalho and Mr. Hay are among the
most noted experts in their line in the
United States and both figured promt-
nently in the celebrated murder trials
of Roland B. Molinetix.

EXTRA SESSION DELAYED.
At Suggestion of Leaders, President
Changes Date of Meeting of Con. -
gress to ‘November 9th,
After mature consideration and, con+
sultation in person and by mall wit
members of both the senate and the
house of representatives, Presideat
Roosevelt has abandoned the suggce-
tion that congress be called Into ex-
traordinary session, which hq an-
nounced many” months ago would
be hela this fall, will be called, ac
cording to present plans, to, meet on
November 9, which was the date ten-
tatively fixed somo time ago. It is
not expected that the formal call tor
the session will be issued until after
the president shall have returned to
Washington.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
suggestion of an October session uf
congress came from prominent sena-
tors who warmly advocated its adup-
tion, the proposition was nof recely-
ed with favor by members of congress
generally, The idea of a session in
October was opposed particularly be-
cause itp would oblige senators and
representatives to leave their states
and districts In the midst of a cam:
paign which to many of them and
their party was of vital importance.
No definite agreement yet has boom
reached as to thé character of the
financial legislation which may be cn-
acted at the approaching session of
congress. Indeed, it is not certain
that an agreement can be reached be-
tween the two branches of congross
whereby any special legislation can be
enacted, It may be that a solution
of the -problem, whicli is alike com-
plex and perplexing, ‘will be reached
before the convening of the extraor-
dinary session, but even that is by,
mo means assured. ts

SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 19, 1903.
Why can not some of the thousands of dollars spent each week by our people for the necessities of life return to them?
The splendid opportunity many of us have, is appreciated but slightly. How much good could be accomplished if we would only t ke hold.
The Age truthfully states that "Those who as ingrater strike down old friends will be apt to be known pretty soon by new ones." This fact has been too often demonstrated.
There is no greater blessing to the Negro than having officers like Col. H. A. Rucker and Col. J. H. Deveaux. They make character as well as history for us—Atlanta Age.
To a great extent many of the women of the race are more interested and are willing to do more for race enterprises than certain men. They are to be given credit for this.
The Colored Citizen is a new member for public favor, published at Boston. It seems to be on a different line from the Guardian, and we expect to see some fine horn locking.
It is disgusting to hear many of our men, especially certain preachers, speaking about race pride, and who do nothing in the least in that direction. It is talk with them. They are void of action.
This year the tax rate will be thirty cents cheaper on the thousand. This will make many tax payer smile. The books will be open Oct. 1, and it is hoped that before it is closed not one of our tax payers will be a defaulter.
A NUMBER of our young men are in good positions and securing fair wages, but many of these young men live up to every penny they make and in cases over. Their action in this direction does them no good, in fact reflects upon the race as being shiftless.
Our people spend thousands of dollars in the stores of the city, yet we cannot induce the proprietors to employ one of our boys or girls as a clerk or book-keeper, matters not how competent they may be. What is the sequel? Patronize enterprises of the race and establish more of them so that worthy boys and girls can be given something to do.
THE board of education will add three more grades to the public school system of the city. These grades will accommodate less than two hundred children. These three grades will be added to the Maple Street School Tickets for admission will be issued at the school a few days before the opening and it behooves each parent to apply in time for admission cards.
REV. DR. ADAMS, the Dean of Atlanta University, writes to us that the outlook of that institution for next year is very encouraging. Many new students are applying for admission, and the former students bid fair to return in full force. The term opens Sept. 30. The new Practice School building for the use of the Normal department will soon be erected. It is to be on Tatnall street near the gate by West Mitchell street.
THERE is one great lesson that our people should learn especially those in the rural districts and that is to beautify their homes and make the surroundings attractive. By using more paint and white wash on the buildings, they would last longer and look better. Plant trees around the house. Have a well laid out lawn with flower beds etc., keep the fences repaired, and keep the weeds down. If these things are done by all of our people it would cause the worth of the race to rise to a great degree.
THE TRIBUNE unreservedly extend to Mr. Walter S. Scott its support in his business venture which he will inaugurate first of the month. He should receive also the cordial support of every colored family in the city. The opening of a business of this kind is what THE TRIBUNE has been encouraging for some time and takes pleasure in announcing this one. With his ability and business experience it is felt that Mr. Scott will conduct this successfully. The inaugurating of this the first business of its kind by one of our young men, should be hailed with delight and every minister, superintendent of Sunday schools and heads of other institutions should take delight in speaking of it:
In view of John Temple Graves' assertion in his Chicago speech, that the presence of the colored man in the South, hammers material development, deters agricultural improvement and obstructs and impedes progress generally, we quote a passage from the address of the Hon. J. W. Lyons delivered at Kalamazoo, Mich., on September 7th, Labor Day, about which much has been said by the western papers:
"It is said and the assertion appears to be founded in fact, that they, the colored people do four-fifths of the agricultural labor of the late slave-holding states, and about all of the unskilled labor. Their share therefore in the production of the cotton crop of 10,000,000 bales would be 8,000,000 bales, and this at the Roosevelt price of 12 cents per pound, each a bale averaging 500 pounds, will amount to $480,000,000. Corn 496,000,000 bushels, worth $148,800,000. Wheat 58,400,000 bushels, $46,720,000 and cats 77,000,000 bushels worth $26,126,000. His share-in the production of rice amounts to $7,497,032.35. Cane molasses crop $22,405,150.40. Cotton seed oil $80,000,000.
"Thus we see that in the cotton, corn, wheat, rice and oats and cane molasses, etc, the colored man produces apnhsll7 $911,786,182 75; a sum equal to $11.09 for every inhabitant of this country or $91 73 per capita for ever individual of the race. In this connection I desire to call attention to the fact, that our government has become one of the great world powers, and ranks foremost among exporting nations of the earth. In the products exported, cotton is still king, for it constitutes over 21 per cent, or more than one fourth of the total exports. Now, when it is borne in mind that the colored race by its labor produces over four fifths of this wealth, it can be easily seen how indispensable it is to even proud America.
"This magnificent howing is only in the agricultural field of labor, but when their skilled mechanics can get employment, they are equally as faithful in the discharge of their duties as they are on the farm Some of the finest buildings erected in the South testify to their splendored knowledge of the trades."
A PREACHER named Delegal who is not known to any extent in the city, is said to have made a speech during the week in which he advised the colored people not to secure a higher education, claiming that is the sole field of the whites and that the colored people must not attempt to secure an equal footing with the whites in this respect. The sooner our white citizens understand men of Delegal's ilk the better it would be for all parties concerned. Delegal is only talking that way to secure certain favors from the whites. We agree with him in saying that the colored people should retain the friendship of the whites and in advising the mothers to pay more attention to the rearing of their children, but we cut aloft from him when he advises against higher education. We are in favor of industrial education for the mass of our people, but those who are able to, should go as high as they can.
SENATOR CARMACK of Tennessee will be remembered as the Memphis editor who raised such a sentiment that caused Mrs. Ida Wells Barnett to leave Memphis some years ago, simply because she spoke in defense of the race in her paper. This fireeater has continued on the same line traducing the race and otherwise engendering bad feeling. This same Carmack is now a member of the senate and at the coming session he proposes introducing a bill repealing the fifteenth amendment to the Constitution. In regard to this matter the Morning News expressed our sentiment when it says:
"Senator Carmack of Tennessee announces that at the coming session of Congress he will introduce in the Senate a bill to repeal the fifteenth amendment to the constitution. That means he will precipitate among the politicians at the capitol a useless and fruitless but acrimonious discussion of the Negro problem. There is no more likelihood that Congress will vote to repeal the amendment than there is of the moon sending down a shower of green cheese. The only results that would follow the introduction of such a proposition would be a lot of intemperate talk and a less kindly feelir between the races."
St. Philips Dots:
Sunday was such a disagreeable day that the attendance at each service was very small. The Christian Endeavor meeting on Sunday was largely attended. The literary exercises were very good. After the close of the regular exercises a Christian Endeavor Union was organized and the new officers of the union were elected. Next meeting of the union will be held at St. Philips Monumental Church on the fourth Sunday in this month. Miss Laura Sims was buried from St. Philips on Tuesday morning at 10 a.m. Miss Sims was a member of St. Philips Church for a good many years. Miss Sims died in Philadelphia where she had recently moved. She was sick only about two weeks. The following services will be held on Sunday; prayer meeting at 5:30 a.m.; preaching at

Young People's Forum.
Mr. Editor—Notwithstanding the frequent rains and threatening storm on last Sunday the cordial invitation through the Young people' Forms brought to the large audience and a good program was the treat. This very appreciative company set well up to the front that it might catch the first notes of the beautiful songs and all the words of wisdom as they fell from the lips of the earnest participants. The Endeavor Topo "Feasting that makes lean souls" was ably discussed by Mr. E. A. Oversest. He urged temperance and moderation along all lines. Mr. A. Clyde Randall formally of troop "K" 10th, U. S. Cavalry, pleasantly chaperoned his spellbound audience through the Cuban homes and farms and gave us an unique insight to the changeless history of the easy going Cuban. With him we visited Troop "K" 10th, U. S. Cavalry serving in Cuba in defense of the American flag. In prose and poetry Mr. Rannall was grandly picturesque in his description and narrations of "Soldier's life and new Cuba" as he observed and experienced it upon Cuban soil. Mr. J. W. Moore and Miss N. A. Houston placed brightened stars in their already dazzling crowns and bore away the palms of musical excellence. The chorus singing was rich and soul-sirring. The president appointed the following standing committees: Committee: Mesrs Ward, Allen, Small, Perry, Bryan, Waters, Moore, Hopkins, Overstreet and Dowse. This committee will call upon the best literary and musical calands of the city to serve the Federal Council. Committee: Mesrs E. W. Sherman, T. W. Reid, Jas, M. Ferrobe, Profe. Jas, H. C. Butler, Robt. W. Gadson. This committee will kindly look after the financial interest of the Forum and receive your liberal contributions. Don't fail to hear the "Endeavor Topo" discussed by Mr. E. W. Sherman, the R. P. O. clerk and post, and the address of Attorney Morse on the "Dignity of the legal profession." On this occasion Miss Rosa Leo Bofleuillet will render "Recessional" and Mr. J. B. Dowse will render a cornet solo, Miss Gertie Carey a vocal solo, Mr. Jno. P. Taylor a vocal solo, Mr. C. F. Waters a vocal solo and Messrs Ward and Paschal an instrumental duet.
All are most cordially invited to witness and participate in these exercises & o'clock Sunday afternoon September 20, First Congregational church.

11th, Anniversary.
Despite the stormy weather on Sunday last, numbers of friends of Rev. Alexander Harris, went to Nicholsonboro to attend the celebration of the eleventh anniversary of his church. The members were out in large numbers and the services were interesting. As announced there was no special sermon, but short talks were made by Lawyer E. M. Morse and Col. Jno. H. Deveaux. The short talk by Rev. Hosea Maxwell was applicable to the occasion. All of the visitors from the city were, as usual well cared for by the members of the church who had prepared a well laden table of good things. The afternoon service was especially interesting. Each person present enjoyed himself.
Local Brevities.
Mr. A. L. Tucker leaves to-night for Atlanta to attend the Conference of Congregational Workers. Mrs. E. W. Lee of Americus spent a few days very pleasantly in the city as the guest of Mrs. W. O. P. Sherman. Rev. S. E. Cruse of Olyo spent a few days in the city this week. The reverend is doing much good among the people whom he works. Rev. M. T. Robinson pastor New Hope A. M.

OUT OF A PIONEER'S TRUNK.
I was a slightly cynical, but fairly good-humored crowd that gathered about a warehouse on Long Wharf in San Francisco one afternoon in the sum
mer of '51. 'Although the occasion was an auction, the bilders' chances more than usually hazardous, and the season and locality famous for rockless speculation, there was scarcely any excitement among the bystanders, and a lazy, half-humorous curiosity secured to have taken the place of any zeal for gain.
It was an auction of unclaimed trunks and boxes—the personal luggage of early emigrants—which had been left to storage in hulk or warehouse at San Francisco, while the owner was seeking his fortune in the mines.
The difficulty and expense of transport, often obliging the gold seeker to make part of his journey on foot, restricted him to the smallest impediment, and that of a kind not often found in the luggage of ordinary civilization. As a consequence during the emigration of 149 he was apt on landing to invail himself of the invitation usually displayed on some of the doors of the rude hostelries on the shore: "lest for the Weary and Storage for Trunks." In a majority of cases he never returned to claim his stored property. Enforced absence, protracted equally by good or evil fortune, accumulated the high storage charges until they usually far exceeded the actual value of the goods; sickness, further emigration, or death also reduced the number of possible claimants, and that more wonderful human frailty—absolute forgetfulness of deposited possessions—combined together to leave the bulk of the property in the custodian's hands. Under an understood agreement they were always sold at public auction after a given time. Although the contents of some of the trunks were exposed, it was found more in keeping with the public sentiment to sell the trunks unlocked and unopened. The element of curiosity was kept up from time to time by the incessant disclosures of the lucky or unlucky purchaser, and general bidding thus encouraged—except when the speculator, with the true gambling instinct, gave no idea in his face of what was drawn in this lottery. Generally, however, some suggestion in the exterior of the trunk, a label or initials, some conjectural knowledge of its former owner, or the idea that he might be secretly present in the hope of getting his property back for less than the accumulated dues, kept up the bidding and interest.
A modest-looking, well-worn portmanteau had just been put up at a small opening bid, when Harry Flint joined the crowd. The young man had arrived a week before at San Francisco, friendless and penniless, and had been forced to part with his own effects to secure necessary food and lodging, while looking for employment. In the irony of fate that morning the proprietors of a dry goods store, struck with his good looks and manners, had offered him a situation, if he could make himself more presentable to their fair clients. Harry Flint was gazing half abstractly, half hopelessly, at the portmanteau without noticing the auctioneer's persuasive challenge.
In his abstraction he was not aware that the auctioneer's assistant was also looking at him curiously, and that possibly his dejected and haf-fclad appearance had excited the attention of one of the cynical bystanders, who was exchanging a few words with the assistant. He was, however, recalled to himself a moment later, when the portmanteau was knocked down at $15, and considerably startled when the assistant placed it at his feet with a grim smile.
"That's your property, Fowler, and I reckon you look as if you wanted it back bad."
"But—there's some mistake," stammered Flint. "I didn't bid."
"No, but Tom Flynn did for you. You see, I spotted you from the first, and told Flynn I reckoned you were one of those chaps who came back from the mines dead broke. And he up and bought your things for you—like a square man. That's Flynn's style, if he is a gambler."
"But," persisted Flint, "this never was my property. My name isn't Fowler and I never left anything here."
The assistant looked at him with a grim, half-credulous, half-scornful smile.
"Have it your own way," he said, "but I ougher tell ye, old man, that I'm the warehouse clerk, and I remember you. I'm here for that purpose. But as that that vallse is bought and paid for by somebody else and given to you, it's nothing more to me. Take or leave it."
The ridiculousness of quarrelling over the mere form of his good fortune here struck Flint, and, as his abrupt benefactor had as abruptly disappeared, the hurried off with his prize. Reaching his cheap lodging house he examined its contents. As he surmised, it contained a full suit of clothing of the better sort and sultable to his urban needs. There were a few articles of jewelry, which he put religiously aside. There were some letters which seemed to be of a purely business character. There were a few daguerreotypes of pretty faces, one of which was singularly fascinating to him. But there was another, of a young man, which startled him with its marvellous resemblance to himself. In a flash of intelligence he understood it all now. It was the likeness of the former owner of the trunk, for whom
I
the assistant had actually mistaken him! He glanced hurriedly at the envelope of the letters. They were addressed to Shelby, Fowler, the name by which the assistant had just called him. The mystery was plain now. And for the present he could fairly accept his good luck and trust to later fortune to justify himself.
Transformed in his new garb, he left his lodgings, to present himself once more to his possible employer. His way led past one of the largest gambling saloons. It was yet too early to find the dry goods trader disengaged; perhaps the consciousness of a more decent, clivilized garb emboldened him to mingle more freely with strangers and he entered the saloon. He was scarcely abreast of one of the faro tables when a man leaped up with an oath and discharged a revolver full in his face. The shot missed. Before his unknown assailant could fire again the astonished Flint had closed with him and instinctively clutched the weapon. A brief but violent struggle ensued. Flint felt his strength falling him, when suddenly a look of astonishment came into the furious eyes of his adversary, and the man's grasp mechanically relaxed. The half-freed pistol, thrown upward by this movement, was accidentally discharged point blank into his temple and he fell dead. No one in the crowd had stirred or interfered.
"You've done for French Pete this time, Mr. Fowler," said a voice at his elbow. He turned gaspingly and recognized his strange benefactor, Flynn. "I call you all to witness, gentlemen," continued the gambler, turning dictatorily to the crowd, "that this man was first attacked, and was unarmed." He lifted Flint's limp and empty hands, and then polished to the dead man, who still grasped the weapon. "Come!" He caught the arm of Flint and dragged him into the street.
"But," stammered the horrified Flint, as he was borne along, "what does it all mean? What made that man attack me?"
"I reckon it was a case of shooting on sight, Mr. Fowler; but he missed it by not waiting to see if you were armed. It wasn't the square thing, and you're all right with the crowd now, whatever he may have had again you."
"But," protested the unhappy Elint,
"I never laid eyes on the man before,
and my name isn't Fowler."
Flynn halted, and dragged him in a doorway.
"Who the devil are you?" he asked roughly.
Briefly, passionately, almost hysterically, Flint told him his scant story. An old expression came over the gambler's face.
"Look here," he said abruptly, "I have passed the word to the crowd yonder that you are a dead broke miner called Fowler. I allowed that you might have had some row with that Sydney duck, Australian Pete, in the mines. That satisfied them. If I go back now and say it's a lie, that your name ain't Fowler, and you never knew who Pete was, they'll test pass you over to the police to deal with you, and wash their hands of it altogether. You may prove to the police who you are, and how that d—d clerk mlstook you, but it'll give you trouble. And who is there here who knows who you really are?"
"No one."
"Then take my advice and be Fowler, and stick to it! Be.Fowler until Fowler turns up and thanks you for it; for you've saved Fowler's life, as Pete would never have funked and lost his grit over Fowler as he did with you; and you've a right to his name."
He stopped, and the same odd superstitious look came into his dark eyes.
"Don't you see what that all means? Well, I'll tell you. You're in the biggest streak of luck a man ever had. You've got the cards in your own hands! They spell 'Fowler.' Play Fowler first, last and all the time. Good-night and good luck, Mr.Fowler."
The next morning's journal contained an account of the justifiable killing of the notorious desperado and ex-convict, Australian Pete, by a courageous young miner named Fowler.
"An act of firmness and daring," said the Ploneer, "which will go far to counteract the terrorism produced by those lawless ruffians."
In his new suit of clothes and with this paper in his hand, Flint sought the dry goods propletor the latter was satisfied and convinced. That morning Harry Flint began his career as salesman and as "Shelby Fowler."
From that day Shelby Fowler's career was one of uninterrupted prosperity. Within the year he became a partner. The same miraculous fortune followed other ventures later. He was mill owner, mine owner, bank director—a millionaire! He was popular, the reputation of his brief achievement over the desperado kept him secure from the attacks of envy and rivalry. He never was confronted by the real Fowler. There was no danger of exposure by others—the one custodian of his secret, Tom Flynn, died in Nevada the year following. He had quite forgotten his youthful past, and even the more recent lucky portmantean; remembered nothing, perhaps, but the pretty face of the daguerreotype that had fascinated him. There seemed to be no reason why he should not live and die as Shelby Fowler.
His business a, year later, took him to Europe. He was entering a train at one of the great railway stations of London, when the porter, who had just deposited his portmanteau in a com
Pluck and Adventure.
Pluck and Adventure.
VERBOARD and struggling desperately with a man-eating shark was the perilous position in which the Rev. John McMillan, pastor of the Westminster Presbyterian Church, of Atlantic City; found himself on a recent afternoon. There seems to be no doubt that the minister would have been mangled to death by the fish had not one of his friends killed it with a spear-shaped boathook. As the guests of Charles C. Tull, in his launch, the Anna M., the Rev Mr. McMillan, the Rev Dr. H. J. Caldwell, the Rev. S. W. Steckel, B. D. Coley, Jr., and Clarence Powell, started on a fishing trip to a grassy bay a few miles beyond Atlantic City. Fishermen have reported for the last week or more that they have sighted sharks in this semi-marsh land. But most of the reports have been regarded merely as fish stories.
Rev. Mr. McMillan sat in the stern of the boat. Suddenly the line was almost dragged out of his hands. To the astonishment of everybody, the fish that the clergyman had hooked began to drag the boat along. The clergyman is a sturdy-built, athletic man. A weaker one would have had the line simply torn from his grasp. But, strong as he was, the effort proved too much for him. As he continued to hold on the drag on the line became the harder. He was brought to a position where he was leaning far over the side of the boat. In the exertion, he did not realize how far he was leaning. Then he lost his balance and fell into the water.
At the sound of the splash the line slackened. The shark had turned. Its fin rose sharp and vicious-looking above the water. It darted straight at the clergyman. Then the shark, turning on its back, opened its mouth. The clergyman dived to get out of the way. The shark's teeth had caught a section of his coat. The garment was completely torn from his body. The teeth also tore the flesh of the minister's right arm and shoulder.
The shark dove after its prey, but the clergyman escaped by coming to the surface of the water again. Then the shark rose also and darted at Mr. McMillan for the second time.
Mr. Tull had meanwhile seized a long boat-book that had a sharp prong on the end of it. He was standing at the boat's side awaiting the reappearance of the shark. When it came up and started murderously for the clergyman, Mr. Tull drove the prong-shaped boat-book down with all his strength. It passed into the shark's body. The fish began to flounder helplessly. Half an minute later it lay still in the water. The single blow had killed it and had saved Mr. McMillan's life. Then the clergyman was helped aboard. Afterward the party landed the shark. It measured more than nine feet.
C. E. Stevenson, of Pittsburg, who is at present in the oil fields at Knoxville, has them all flagged when it comes to a genuine hair-raising story. Stevenson weighs about 250 pounds and is not used to strenuous life, being possessed of some money and ill trained for the mortal combat in which he accidentally became engaged.
While wandering around over the oll territory, Stevenson came across a romantic spot, cool and shady, so inviting to his tired and corpulent body that he desired to rest awhile. While he was thus reposing on the log he felt something touch his back, but paid little heed, thinking it but a stray dog. Finally he turned around and saw the largest monster in the snake line he had ever beheld in or out of captivity. The demon seemed to laugh at him from its wicked, fiery eyes, as it edged toward him, while he seemed rooted to the spot. Gathering his nerves by one supreme effort, he jumped over the reptile and emitted a yell that would have caused a Comanche to turn livid with envy, while he sped down the hill in huge, reckless lunges that were, extremely trying on the seams of his garments.
A glance back showed the snake to be gaining, and realizing he could not keep up the killing pace Stevenson took to a young sapling and shinned up, only to be followed by the snake. He dropped to the ground and grabbed a club and decided to die game. The snake reared at him and the battle was on. At first he could not hit the elusive and wry demon. He finally got in a crushing smite on the animal's back and the fight was over, while he dropped from exhaustion. Those who saw the snake are at a loss to classify it. One native writes to a friend in this city that it was a nine-foot black-snake with horns and ears and that it had thirteen buttons on its tail, with pink and green stripes along the back.—Detroit News-Tribune.
"One of the best and most remarkable shots made during the late war with Spain," said a gentleman who made an effort to get into the thick of the fight, "was, in my judgment, made at Miami, and the man who fired the shot was a Louisiana boy and a member of my company. He was doing duty as a provost guard at the time. It was late at night when the soldiers were roused by the quick, clear crack of a Krag-Jorgensen on the outskirts of the camp. No particular attention was paid to the matter at first, as only one shot was fired. But, with a couple of officers we went in to where the
partment, reappeared at the window, followed by a young lady in mourning.
"Beg pardon, sir, but I handed you the wrong partmanteau. That belongs to this lady. This is yours."
Flint glanced at the partmanteau on the seat before him. It certainly was not his, although it bore the initials "C. F." He was mechanically handing it back to the porter, when his eyes fell on the young lady's face. It was the face of the naugarreotype.
"I Beg pardon," he stammered, "but are those your initials?"
She hesitated; perhaps it was the abruptness of the question, but he saw she was confused.
"No. A friend's."
She disappeared into another carriage, but from that moment Harry Flint knew that, he had no other aim in life than to follow the clew and the beautiful girl who dropped it. He bribed the guard at the next station and discovered that she was going to New York. On their arrival he was ready on the platform to respectfully assist her. A few words disclosed the fact that she was a fellow-countrywoman, although residing in England, and at present on her way to join some friends at Harrogate. Her name was West. At the mention of this he again fancied that she looked disturbed.
They met again and again; the informality of his introduction was overlooked by his friends, as his assumed name was already respectably, and responsibly known beyond California. He thought no more of his future. He was in love. He even dared to think it might be returned; but he felt he had no right to scook that knowledge until he had told her his real name and how he came to assume another's. He did so alone—scarcely a month after their first meeting. To his alarm, she burst into a flood of tears, and showed an agitation that seemed far beyond any apparent cause. When she had partly recovered, she said, in a frightened voice:
"You are bearing my brother's name, But it was a name that the unhappy boy had so shamefully disgraced in Australia that he abandoned it, and, as he lay upon his deathbed, the last act of his wasted life was to write an imploring letter begging me to change mine, too. For the infamous companion of his crime, who had first tempted, then betrayed him, had possession of all his papers and letters, many of them from me, and was threatening to bring them to our Virginia home and expose him to our neighbors. Maddened by desperation the miserable boy twice attempted the life of the scoundrel, and might have added that of blood-guiltiness to his other sins had he lived. I did change my name to my mother's malden one, left the country and have lived here to escape the revelations of that desperado should be fulfil his threat."
In a flash of recollection Flint remembered the startled book that had come into his assailant's eye after they had clinched. It was the same man who had too late realized that his antagonist was not Fowler.
"Thank God! you are forever safe from any exposure from that man," he said gravely, "and the name of Fowler has never been known in San Francisco save in all respect and honor. It is for you to take back—fearlessly and alone."
She did, but not alone, for she shared it with her husband—Waverley Magazine.
A Woodland Echo.
As became the idle man having the time of his life in the primeval forests of the Temagagile Reserve in Canada, the clerk of the New York Court of Special Sessions was graciously inclined to instruct the workers in camp. These, says the New York Tribune, were two young, unknown men who, with a canoe and a camping outfit, were likewise seeking backwoods experience.
He came once upon one of them baking bread in a portable aluminum oven before a smoldering log fire.
"Ah," said the clerk, assuming a reclining position of graceful ease, "baking bread, I see."
"Yes. It doesn't come up for a cent."
"You see," continued the clerk, with rising wisdom, "the baking-powder, which contains cream of tartar, liberates when heated a certain amount of carbonic acid gas, which—"
"Oh, don't talk shop!" interrupted the cook. "I hate it out here!"
"Oh, you do!" the clerk observed, astonished. "What business are you in, may I ask?" "I'm an assistant professor of chemistry at Yale."
A Use For Prairie Dogs.
Scientists may some time find use for mosquitoes. On the western plains prairie dogs have been regarded as even more useless pests, and now comes a man who says that they serve such a purpose that henceforth instead of States offering bounties for them they will encourage the propagation of the little beasts. Louis Grosmentir (nomen et omen?) has, according to the Omaha Bee, discovered that prairie dogs are a very great aid to the cultivation of alfalfa. Mr. Grosmentir says that alfalfa, to grow, must be infected with a certain fungus, and that there is no agency of infection so good as the desplied prairie dog. His discoveries are the result of four years of experiments.
The Power of Radium.
Suppose one should hold a crystal of radium in his hand with his face turned to the East. Suppose that one of the electrons were a lead bullet circling the earth to its starting point. He would be shot in the back from the westward five times before he could fall to the ground, so rapid is the movement of the electrons.

FIGHT WITH A SNAKE.
A REMARKABLE SHOT
guard was stationed, in order to find out just why it was that he had fired at that time of night. He explained that he had seen a man slipping through the bushes some distance away, and had called on him to fight. He failed to obey the command, and the guard blazed away at him, more to frighten him into a stop than anything else. Of course, the fellow never halted. He was probably too badly frightened to stop at that time. While we were talking to the guard we heard a fearful noise at least half a mile from the guard's station, and we made a break for the place to see what the matter was. We heard several people screaming as if in great agony. Down the road we went at full speed, and in a short while we came upon a little cabin which stood on the roadside. The noise was in this cabin, and I never heard such grooming and walling in my life. We found three men in the house. They were in great agony, and we asked them what was the matter. 'We have been shot,' they said, and sure enough they had been shot. One was shot in the right arm, another in the back, and the third in the hip. They had all been wounded by the same bullet. The man who was wounded in the arm was lying on his right side, the ball passed through his arm. Next to him one of his companions was sprawling out on his back, and the bullet split the hide on this part of his anatomy as smoothly as a knife. Then it passed through the fleshy part of the third man's hip and sped on. We could not find the ball. It had passed through the side of the house, wounded the three men in the way indicated, bored through the wall on the opposite side and kept on going, and there is no telling how many, trees the ball had passed through before it reached the cabin. Now, that cabin was fully half a mile from the point where the guard was stationed, yet the shot he fired had wrought all the havoc we found. The ball had plowed its way through the woods and into and out of the cabin, and I suppose it is going yet. It shows what kind of guns we fight with these days."—New Orleans Times-Democrat.
THE END OF A TIGRESS.
Mrs. Dounett, the young American wife of an English army officer on service in India, had a thrilling adventure while hunting big game with her husband in the Chanda jungle. The story here quoted is taken from one of her letters to a friend in this country: Word was brought to camp that a tigress had killed a cow and made an attempt on a man's life. We went to the scene at once and took up our places, and the bout had just begun when I heard roar after roar. I thought the tigress was going to Timmins (Mrs. Dounett's husband) and was rejoicing, for the poor old boy had no luck, while mine has been the lucky gun of the camp.
Suddenly, with no warning, out she jumped about ten yards from me, and she did look a picture of rury as she stood lashing her tall and snarling. It was too easy a shot to be really easy; also, having a huge creature all but breathing in my face seemed to mesmerize me, in a way, and I felt myself trembling all over and unable to move my eyes from her hard, green ones. But I fired, and she made a grand spring into a clump of bamboos and was lost to slight. She never uttered a sound.
When the coast seemed clear I blew my whistle; the others came up, and we found fresh drops of blood. The grasses and bamboos were smeared with blood about a foot from the ground, which showed I had hit her low in the stomach.
Well, we formed a line, and inch by inch advanced into the jungle, with a man always ahead.
We were just thinking she must be dead—we had gag about one hundred and fifty yards—when a man in a tree yelled out, "Zilra glissy!" which means "She is charging."
In an instant everyone was trying to save himself. It looked like a shipwreck, with desperate people clinging to branches. I climbed a small bamboo which played sesaw with me between earth and sky. Timmins could not gain a climbable tree, so he got behind one and was ready to shoot for his life.
The tigress gave a roar and charged past and out by our right flank, and did not hurt anyone. When all was quiet again we crawled out, but as it was dark we made for camp and left her in the jungle. The next day a search party went out and found her dead about three hundred yards off. I had wounded her mortally with my first shot—Chicago Record-Herald.
Cream to BURN.
Two little girls were engaged in an animated discussion as to the merits of their respective homes.
"Well, anyway," said one little maiden in a triumphant tone, "you may have more bedrooms than we have, but we have more cream than you do. We have enough for our cereal every single morning."
"Pooch!" said the other, "that's nothing. We own a Jersey cow, and we get a whole cowful of cream twice every day."-Lippincott's.
The Chicken and the Horse
Fort Branch, Ind., has produced a strange case of affection between animals of different species. It is the case of a spring chicken and an old gray horse. The chicken lost its mother some time ago and now roosts nightly on top of the horse's head, sitting between the animal's ears. The horse seems to have a fondness for the chicken and the two are always seen together when the horse is not away at work—New York Commercial Advertiser.

The Odd Ceremony a Rabbit Performs For a Fast-Diminishing Sect.
A Pole on the East Side makes his living breaking plates. He breaks a considerable number for applicants each week and receives a fee for so doing. The plate to be broken is usually furnished by himself, but occasionally the customer provides it.
Almost anybody might be expected to be able to smash a plate with niron hammer, which is the tool the old man uses, but the curious thing about his method is that the blow falls so as to break the plate into three pieces, two of a certain size and one larger and differently shaped from the others. There are few chips and splinterings from his plate smashing, and never more nor less than the three pieces.
The plates are mortuary plates and are an important part of the burial ceremony among certain orthodox Jews. The two smaller pieces of the potter's ware are to cover the dead person's eyes, and the larger and longer piece is meant to extend from eyebrow to mouth. The believers hold that such pieces of pottery ware placed within the coffin assure protection to the soul when it makes its exit from the body a stipulated time after burial.
"The pillow shall be the earth," is construed as partial warrant for the custom.
The secret of this particular method of plate-breaking has come down from rabbi to rabbi through many generations. Originally the plate was split with a sword. Later the breakage was effected with a trowel. Now a hammer answers. Formerly the plates for mortuary use were supposed to issue one and all from a certain potter's kiln near Jerusalem, and some of the plates were believed to be heirlooms since King Solomon's day. But with the removal of the tribes from place to place, and the stress of poverty and strange conditions, it has come to be that almost any plate will do if it be potter's ware and not tin or metal, and if it is broken by a person authorized to bless the ceremony.
So this weazened old rabbi of a peculiar fast-disappearing sect among all the other orthodox Jews is called upon by many to perform the ceremony. And he has steady employment, even though his constituents be among the poorest of the ghetto's people and able to give only a title of the fee which used to be considered proper for such service.—New York Sun.
Street Railway Statistics
The preliminary report of the street railway industry of the country just issued by the Census Bureau is authority for the following interesting figures: There are 817 operating companies and 170 leased lines.
The total number of miles of single track is 22,577.
Compared with figures for 1890, this represents an increase of 178 per cent.
The average number of employees is 133,040.
The annual pay roll averages $89,770,000.
The number of passengers carried per year by all the roads is 5,872,000,000.
The average length of track operated per company is only twenty-seven and one-half miles.
The average number of rides per inhabitant throughout the whole country is sixty-three.
In 1890 the average number of rides per inhabitant was only thirty-two, the great increase taking place in the extension of roads to the South Atlantic States.
Three hundred and ninety-four companies operate less than ten miles of track each.
Two hundred and nineteen companies operate between ten and twenty miles each.
One hundred and seventy-nine companies operate between twenty and 100 miles each.
There are only twenty-five roads operating more than 100 miles of track.—Philadelphia Record.
Why He Cried.
Jack's mother believes that crying is as necessary for small children as other exercises. "It strengthens their lungs," she says. So when her young boy sets up a howl over some real or fancied cause she does not run to cuddle him, as many mothers do, although she has an equally loving heart, but lets him cry it out.
The other day Jack sat on the floor weeping long and bitterly. All at once he stopped.
"Mother," he said, "what was I crying about?"
"Wasn't it because I wouldn't let you play with the little glass clock on the bookcase?" she nsked with a smile.
"Oh, yes, Oh, Oh, Ohl Boo, hoo!"
Jack began to cry harder than ever. His mother waited calmly to hear what this fresh outbreak meant.
"No, it wasn't that," walled Jack. "I 'member now. It was because'ybu wouldn't let me go out in the rain, 'but I'm going to cry about the clock now." And he did—New York Times.
His Lesson.
She was a demure little woman with a baby. As the open car was crowded, she did not put the little one, who was old enough to sit up, on the seat beside her. She carried it on her lap and made room for a fierce-looking big man with a bad cigar and a newspaper. The child kicked its tiny 19gs in delight at the strange things it saw while riding along the Bowery, and its shoes rubbed against the man's trousers.
"Perhaps, madam," he exclaimed, "you imagine this conveyance is your private carriage?"
"Oh, no I don't," was the prompt reply. "If it was you wouldn't be riding in it."
He shut up—New York Times.

STATISTICS CONCERNING SMILES
An Englishman of sclentific parsulté
has recently published a serles of sta-
fistics concerning smiles which will as-
tonish the average layfan and lay-
woman. On an average, he calculates,
a ‘woman stretches her mouth half
aa inch each time she smiles. Allow-
Ing her thirty-six smiles a. day—which
every man familiar with the subject
will accept 3s a conservative estimate—
‘her smile measurement would amount
in “twenty-four hours to- half a yard,
and in the course of a year to 182
yards of, smiles. This Ss strictly an
average computation, however.
‘pride, the newly elected President, of a
{woman's club, a man witha new auto-
mobile or a new set of teeth—these will
wreathe you many more yards of
smiles in the course of a twelvemonth
than a paltry 182, The relation whieh
these-smiling statistles bear toward the
art of liviyg is ot quite clear. So far
as penclies-value goes, the man who
first discovered that snilles bred
wrinkles did.a vastly more serviceable
thing. Many a woman ‘ries to sup-
press her smilés in the interest of her
skin. Expert information as to the
number of yards she smiles a year will
have the cifect only of redoubling her
anti-amile vigilance, and the,world will
baso much the poorer. , In“any, erent

English sworkmen have handed themselves together, into organizations
that not only cripple the industries Jn which they are employed, but deprive
them of any chance of bettering their condition: The whole idea of English
trade-unions is that the workers are fixed cn a certain level of material
prosperlty; as they cannot reach a higher level, therefore they must take
measures to prevent thelr dropping to a lower. Labor, therefore, arrays
{teelf in direct antagonism to capitei. It accepts the caste brand sect upon
1¢ by the higher classes, instead of fighting to efface the mark. :
The “ca? canny” eystem permeates English industry. To “ca’ canny’,
jg to “go easy.” The English worker's idea is that the less work he does,
the more,there will be left to do, and therefore the less will be the chance
of his or his fellow-workers getting out of employment. This system went
on very well before the days of American’ competition; but now that the
Products of American industries are invading English markets, the “ca’

No doubt the Roman Church helped. ‘The organization which
covers Christendom with its twelve hundred bishops was no doubt
essential to his success, But it was necessary for him to capture the or-
ganization. And it must not be forgotten that although the organization
helped, ft also handicapped, him badly with at least one-half of Christendom.
And- the greatést triumph of the late Pope was not that which he won
within the Church, but .that which he achfeved outside its pale. Greek
Orthodox, Protestant and Freethinker alike learned to recognize that Leo
XIIL., despite all his papistical trappings, was a great statesman and a true

‘His art will ever be difficult to classify. Realizing that, though desig-
nated as an American painter, his art cannot justly’ be called American
art, so pre-eminently cosmopolitan is it, future historians may be tempted
to weave a theory of exotic influence from the painter’s ife-history, which
ig, that his grandfather was 2 colonel, his father a West Point engineer,
his mother came from Wilmington, N. C.; ho was born—some say in Balt!
more, gome in Stonington, Comn., ané others in Lowell, Mass. He himself
has testified in court that he was born in St, Pétersbutg, Itussia; but in
watte’s “National Cyclopaedia of Blography” an article which he revised,
grives the place and date as Lowell, Mass, in 1834. At,any rate, he spent his
‘ebildhood in St. Petersturg, Russia, where bls fathér was superintending
‘the construction of the St. Petersburg & Moscow Railroad. In 1851 Whistler
‘entered West Point, where he was far from being an ‘deal student In
‘drawing alone did he receive first class marks; chemistry was one of his
‘stumbling blocks, and he has sald: “If silicon had been a gas, I should have
‘been a soldier.” And it is not surprising that the man who was afterward
‘so entirely a law unto himself should have cut # sorry figure in ‘the army,
where discipline takes precedence of the three T’s.—From a sketch of James
‘Abbott McNefll Whistler, in the American Monthly Review of Reviews.”

hud which sent tp the Continental Congress a delegate—who, however, was not
admitted? How many have heard of the short lived State of Franklin, or

STOPPED MILL kon A ROBIM.
A robin once -built her nest in a
queer place In a caw mil in Scraatoz,
Pa.
The mill had beea {dle for some
Ume, and late in May while the owner
was getting ready to saw a few logs
® cock robin darted about the -mill
and screamed spitefully at him. The
man couldn’t make out why the nolsy
bird was so cross, but he learned
Pretty soon after he had holsted the
gate and set tho mill a-goltg. On the
top of the upright saw frame another
robin had built her nest, and she was
sitting on it when the machiaery be-
gan to make the saw fly up and down.
The quick, downard strokes came
near pulling tie nest away from her,
but she clung fast and kept her four
eggs warm.
Meanwhiie the male robln darted at
the owner every few sccons and coa-
tinued his angry crlo3.
The female bird's admirable devo-
tion to duty, dad the male robin’s in-
cossant pleadings in her beaa'f, touch-
ed Mr. Wickham’s sympathetic cord,
he said, and before the saw was half
through the log he shut the water off.
He was in no hurry for lumber, and
he didn't try to run the saw again
until after the robins had rased their
Uttle family, In the latter part of
July he noticed that the birds were
preparing to begin housekeeping
anew. There were two eggs in the
old nest up on the saw frame. 2nd
the indications were that mother robin
would lay two more inside of three
days. The water was low then, and
Mr, Wickham let the busy robins have
the mill all to themselves. Before
frosty nights came the birds had
hatched and raised another brood on
the old say frame, sent them out into
the world, and taken their departure
from the mill.—Washington Star.
_ COFFEE AS A DISINFEPTANT.
Experiments with roasted coffee
prove that it is the most powerful
means not only of rendering animal
and vegetable effluvia barmless, but
of actually destroying them, states
American Queen. On one occasion,
meat in an advanced state of decom-
position was instantly deprived of its
cffensive odor “when a pound of
roasted coffee was placed wear it.
In another’ Instance, where sul-
phurated hydrogen and ammonia
could be strongly detected, the odor
was completely removed in half a
minute with three ounces oft fresi
roasted coffee, while other parts of
the house were cleared of the smell
simply by passing through the rooms
with a roaster containing coffee.
The best metaod for uging coffee
as a disinfectant is to dry the rew
Sean, pound it In a mortar, and then
roast the powder on a moderately
heated {ron plate, until it is of a dark
brown color, ‘Them sprinkle ft in
sinks or cesspools or lay it on a plate
in the room which you wish to disin
fect. Coffee deld or coffee oll acts
more readily in very small quantities
The Klondike district does not give
promise of Increasing ‘its output of
gold over that of last year, which
amounted to $12,000,000. Lack of
new strikes or discoveries since the
memorable find in 1896 has set a lm-
{t on the output and it is now on the
decline, having at this ‘date pro-
duced over $80,000,006 in gold. Tae

THE IMPROMPTU NURSE.
The American Journal of Nursing
urges upon the impromptu nurse jo
the pfivate home, whether city or
country, not to shake blankets and
elotaing that have been In the sick
Toom out of the windows. Moist
sheets hung outside of the door of the
apartment In which there 1s a con-
tagious case, says this authority, will
do much to prevent the passage of In-
fectious dust to other parts of the
house. A weak solution of soda or
carbolic acid should be used to keep
this barrier wet, and should be ap*
plied by some one on the “clean
side” of the apartments. Soiled Mien
should be placed under water in tha
sickroom and bolled before- being’
handled by any one outside. Nothing
should be taken to the laundry In a
dry condition. Tue patient's silver
and dishes should be cleansed In the
room, and before returning for gen-
eral use should be thoroughly boiled.
AMMONIA AND ITS USES.
_ A ttle ammonia added to the bath
‘will have a very refreshing effect and
“give tone, vigor and simoothness to
the skin. :
When color has been taken out of
any fabrics, sponging with ammonia
will often restore it
Ammonia {s an excellent remedy
for the bites and stings of insects. It
should be applied immediately, if pos-
sible.
Mildew stains can be removed by
rubbing with ammonia diluted with)
water.
A few drops of ammonia in the
bathing water 1s very good for oly
skins.
Todine spots on Hnen will disap-
pear if soaked for a time In ammonia
and. rinsed In clear water. =
Tho best way to.clean hairburshes
is with water, to whica a-few drops
of amménia has been added.—Amert-

‘Swiftest of Birds.
Seamen generally believe that the
frigate bird can start at daybreak with
the trade winds from the coast of
Africa and roost the same night upon
the Americar shore. Whether this is
a fect has not yet been conclusively
determined, but it 1s certain that this
bird is the swiftest of winged crea-
‘tures and is able to fly, under favor-
‘able conditions, 200 miles an hour.

What is Life?
In the last anaysis nobody knows, but we do know that is under strict law. Abuse that law even slightly, pain results. Irregular living means derangement of the organs, resulting in Constipation, Headache or Liver trouble. Dr. King's New Life Pills quickly re-adjusts this. It's gentle, yet thorough.

Another Enterprise.
On October first Savannah will have another colored enterprise. This one will be out of the ordinary and proves that our men are thinking and will branch out in every direction. The enterprise that will be opened the first of the month will be a dry goods, gent's furnishings and notions store. It will be conducted by Mr. Walter S. Scott. The store will be located at No.120 State street near Barnard.
Mr. Scott is a young man of business sagacity and experience. He has been thinking for some time of opening such a store and met the encouragement of all of his friends in that direction. To prepare himself for the work he spent quite awhile in Montgomery, Ala., at the department store of Mr. J. W. Adams, who has one of the largest stores in that city. This has helped him considerably and in inaugurating his business it will not be new to him.
In this venture Mr. Scott should get the undivided support of every colored person in the city and surrounding community. He proposes selling as good articles and at as reasonable prices as can be secured elsewhere. If Mr. Scott receives the cordial support of our people, he will be enabled to give employment to a number of our young ladies and men. Encourage him in this effort and other young men will be inspired to launch out in the business world.
Locals.
On Monday night the Georgia Artillery was ordered out for inspection by Col. Oobar the inspector-general. Out of an enlistment of fifty-two men, fifty one were present even though the night was a stormy one. Col. Oobar postponed the inspection on account of death in his family. The showing made by the artillery is an excellent one that few companies can equal. What the artillery did every company in the First Battalion should imitate. Capt Simmons has his men under good order.
On Friday night of last week, the Labor Union Band called at the residence of general organizer and Mrs. W. H. Burgess, 556 Herndon street and gave a beautiful serenade which was very much enjoyed by the following ladies and gentlemen: Mrs. Julia Irvin, Mrs. Fredie Murray, Mrs. G. E. Sanders, Miss Mamie Lee, Messrs. J. S. Quarterman, A. W. White, Ex-Pres. W. A. Newsome, Sec'y, G. G. Green, Jas. McLane, J. W. Anderson, H. Frasier, O. W. Swinton. The band under the leadership of Messrs. J. B. Dowse and G. O. Price discoursed, some very sweet and new music. Refreshments were served.

Bro. Rawls of Sheridan Lodge called in to see us this week.
It is far better to have no increase at all than to be adding unsound timber to the building.
Grand Master Butler took a well earned vacation of two weeks visiting northern points and has returned much benefitted.
Past Master T. O. Karnegay of Higgston spent two days in the city. Bro. Karnegay is a progressive Mason and one who believes in the principles of the order.
Under a dispensation granted Seven Star Lodge at Bladen, by the Grand Master, six profanes were recently "brought to light." The work was done in a proficient manner by Worshipful Master L C. Braswell. He was ably assisted by Past Master, P. Baker and Past Master J. P. Smith of EurekaLodge No. 1. Several other visitors were present. After the candidates were carried through the mysteries of the order, the stewards had prepared a refreshment table that was of a tempting order, containing many good things. This was the largest gathering of Masons at Bladen for some time. This proves what kind of work Bro. Braswell is doing as Master. This lodge has a good standing. The officers hope to make an excellent report to the Grand Master for the order granted. Let them continue the good work.

USING CANDLES,

cult in summer, Whei the | breezes
make flames ficker‘and Wax drip, but
there are ways of overcomin,; this dif-
ficulty. For a stralght,glass ‘or allver
candlestick there can be had a tall,
narrow glass shade, ‘perhaps clght
inches high and spreading a lttle to-
Ward the top. This really Improves the

HE SEWING APRON. .
" ‘The sewing apron is now a feature
of every Industrious woman's ward-
robe, suys the Philadelphia Inquirer.
It ss constructed from strong material
and Is straight and plain, and gathered
into a plain narrow band. Itvts cut
lonk enough to reach almost to the hem
of the gown, Then it is turned up
straight across about at the line of the
knees, as for a very deep hem—from
nine to ten Inches deep. ‘The turned-
up portion $s hemmed before belng
folded, however, and the blg, wide
pocket thus furnished fs stitched up
and down,so as to form four or five
deep, father narrow pockets instead of
one. These pockets are for scissors,
thread, cuttings and the like.
A PERTINENT QUESTION.
“Have you a casserole of Old French
ware?” asks Laura A, Hill, in What to
Eat. “No? Then hie to a shop where
Kitchen things are sold and. get one,
for you do not know half life's joys un-
til those cunning dishes of brown sit
pn your kitchen shelves. Glven a cas
serdle, or baking dish, of this ware, a
chafing dish and a coffee potin which
coffee may be made at table, and the
Sunday night supper, the cosey Iunch-
eon, and even the family dinner with
an twiexpected guest, becomes a delight
to the housewife, even If cook is away.
No one knows just whnt the secret 18,
but the old Frepch cooks knew the
delights of game chicken, squps and
other tid¥its cooked in the old French
clay ware, unglazed and porous. Go
Into any of the big hotels or men’s
clabs where Frehch cbefs relgn, and
call for the celebrated onfon soup, and
it will be served in a casserole of old
French ware, with a napkin over the
top aud around the handle.”
PLENTY OF SUNLIGHT.

cannot be"too fully appreciated as a

Aition of body and mind.
About twice a year every well-kept
house undergoes that terrific convul-
sion—house-cleantng. Durlag its pro-
gress there fs not'a nook or corner but
what Js given over for a thme to alr

of mop, broom and brush. As this
finally settles down, with the result of
the most delicious cleanliness and or-
der, nothing could be more thorough
than. the seml-annunl house*cleaning.
But sometimes it seems that if this cy-
clonic rush of water, air and sun were
divided up and distributed more evenly

Human Nature and Street Gars.
“The street car is a good=place to

if you went to study buman nature,
you must get {t hemmed up for a while,
close In on to it, as It wore, and hold

specialized line there may be in tho
Barticular specimen. Short human
naturg studies may be pursued in the
street, but they are flashy, as a rule,
and such conclusions as one may reach
are not as safe as they might be. It
1s different in the street car. In a
way men and women seem to be at
home in the street car. They are off
dress parade. There one mny find
somewhat of the abandon of the home.
Men and women are themselves for a

person thus watched. And I may re
mark that special writers, men who

pers, men who write of the odds and
ends of life, incident, ‘humor, tragedy,
history, poetry, philosophy and other
things, men of this kind are in tho
habit of spending somo time on street

Xexee Cotten Cropntewer Bas |
It begins to appear as if the supply
eof cotton this sear will be fully equal
to all requirements, and the cottorf
Planters of the South will doubtless act
wisely in selling the cotton they have
rafsed just as promptly as it can be
brought to market.
The U. S, Government fn its report
on the cot{on crop, issued on the 3d of
September, makes the condition of the
crop S12. This 1s 17.2 per cent. better
than the report at the same time Inst
year, and the acreage shows an in-
crease of about four per cent. -Thisis
a total of trenty-one per cent. orer {ast
year’s indicated production, which fs
the equivalent of about 2,000,000 bates
of cotton. ‘The indicated crop fs, theré-
fore, somewhere in the neighborhood
of 13,000,000 bales, and whille it is pos-
sible that an early frost or bad weath-
er may diminish these Sgures slightly
a crop of at Jeast 12,000,000 balcs
or over seems probable. Such a crop if
realized undoubtedly means much low-
er prices. It $s to be hoped that the
cotton planters of the South will not
be mlsted by false prophets {nto hold-
ing thelr cotton, but that they will, on
the contrary. sell it as rapidly as it
comes in. Neatly all authorities ace
confirmatory , of the Government
figures. Mr. “Theodore H, Price, the
well-known expert, makes the condi-
tlon clghty-three abd the crop 12,700.-
009 bales, and the figures of the New
York Journal of Commerce indicate
about the same conclusion.
‘The truth seems to be that the ab-
normally high prices to which cotton
advanced during the spriug and sum-
iner.although they profited planters but
Ittle, as the crop was practically alt
marketed before these prices were re-
alized, have greatly stimulated plunt-
ing and production in, every direction.
