WEEVILIS RAMPANT Texas Pest Ruins Cotton West of the Mississippi. GLOOMY PICTURE DRAWN Chemist In Employ of Government Makes Tour of Infected Sections and Predicts Dire Calamity for the Future. Charles P. McLane, a chemist in the employ of the agricultural department of the United States government, arrived at Knokville, Tenn., Saturday from Texas and Arkansas, where he had been sent by the government to investigate the damage done in the cotton belt by weevil. He has spent two months studying the insects, and admits that the future of the cotton-growing section west of the Mississippi is exceedingly gloomy. Mr. McLane says that the cotton crop in ninety-six Texas counties will be almost a total failure, and that the western part of Arkansas, especially Hempstead county, presents a desolate appearance. He predicts that cotton growing in the southwest will decline in the future. All efforts to destroy the weevil have proved futile, and the people are discouraged. Arkansas has not been as hard hit this year as Texas, but he predicts that the devastating weevil will spread rapidly over the entire cotton lands of the southwest within two years. Few, if any, evidences of the appearance of the weevil have been seen east of the Mississippi. LOOKS BAD FOR CURTIS JETT. New Witness Swears He Saw Defend- and Shoot Cockrill. In the trial of Curtis Jett for the alleged assassination of James Cockrill, at Jackson, Ky., the commonwealth Saturday introduced William Cope and James Blanton, who corroborated others as to Jett being in front of the court. house immediately after the shooting and to the shots coming from the court house. The feature was the testimony of Charles Green, the witness who escaped, and said he was afraid of being killed if he testified. Green was brought back under arrest from Lexington, Ky. He testified that he was about ten feet from Cockrill when the shooting began. He and Cockrill both ran. He saw the shots coming in two volleys from the court house window, and saw Curtis Jett firing from the court house at Cockrill. He testified that two other men were in the court house whom he didn't recognize, and that but little smoke was visible, which corroborates other witnesses in saying that they believed smokeless powder was used by Jett. TWO MORE RESIGNATIONS. One a member of Edward's Cabinet. Five Vacancles to Fill. A London special says: Lord Balfour, of Burleigh, secretary for Scotland, and Arthur Ralph Douglas Elliot, financial secretary to the treasury, have resigned and their resignations have been accepted by the king. Mr. Elliott was not in the cabinet. These two resignations make a total of four vacant cabinet posts and one secretaryship at Premier Balfour's disposition. With the resignation of Lord Balfour and Financial Secretary Elliott, both strong free traders, it is understood that the ministerial resignations are completed. It is practically certain that Austen Chamberlain, Lord Milner and Mr. Brodrick will take the exchouquer, colonies and Indian portfolios, respectively, and the only surprise the new appointments is likely to be the nomination of a strong man to the war; office to determine how far-the recommendations of the South African war commission can be carried out. His Fight With Cartersville Postmaster Alfred in Mayor's Court. When arraigned in mayor's court at Cartersville, Postmaster Akerman pleaded guilty to the charge of disorderly conduct, with which he and Rev. Sam Jones were charged, and was fined $10 and costs.

All of the witnesses, sowe that the evangelist was on the defensive in the difficulty and he was discharged. "ADVICE" TO PRESIDENT. Chicago Federation of Labor Sends Roosevelt a Long Letter Expressing Displeasure at Attitude. President Roosevelt was voted by the Chicago Federation of Labor, at a meeting Sunday, a 9,000-word letter of advice in which fault is found with the president's attitude on the question of open shops. The letter was prompted by the decision of President Roosevelt in the Miller case, in which the president said that Miller or any other man must not be discharged from the government printing office on account of non-membership in a union. "Deliciously unaware of the hypocrisy of the world of finance," "honest and humane, but uninformed," were some of the clauses used to describe the president in the long letter of the open shop committee. Its opening-paragraphs contained a definite disclaimer of any wish to attack Mr. Roosevelt, the blame for the chief executive's attitude in the Miller affair being placed on "a coterie of certain well-known interests which are constantly on guard around" the white house. The president was told that he fell into error in his view of the question, "because of that impetuosity for which we love you." a copy of the communication will be forwarded to Oyster Bay at once under Gate of Labor day, September 7. The reading of the letter before the federation meeting occupied over an hour, and excited applause from the crowd of delegates. NEGRO BAPTISTS ON ASSAULTS. Resolution in Philadelphia Convention Denounces By Members of Race. Lynching and the crimes which usually result in mob law were denounced in a resolution adopted by the National Negro Baptist convention in session at Philadelphia. The resolution presented by Rev. J. I. Dart, of South Carolina, was as follows: "Whereas, most of the blood-curdling outrages committed against the pure womanhood of our country and which lead to mob uprising and lynching are charged to members of our race. "Resolved, we make no special plea or excuse for such criminals of our race; we frown upon any one who is guilty of the crime of an assault on woman; we, the representatives of two million people of the black race, desire to place ourselves on record as saying that any who assaults helpless womanhood is not worthy the benefits of life, but should be given a fair trial. "Resolved, That President Roosevelt is to be commended by our people for his fearless stand in favor of evenhanded justice and fair trial for all criminals and for his declaration at a time when passions ran high and public sentiment was uncontrolled." The educational board headquarters will be removed from Washington to Nashville during the coming year. GEORGIA TOWN LOSES HEAVILY. Fire Causes $100,000 Damage In Me Donough. With Small Insurance. Dough, with small insurance. Fire broke out in the building occupied by the D. J. Green Company at McDonough, Ga., Sunday afternoon, and the entire structure, which occupied a block on McConnet street, was destroyed. The block of buildings in the rear was also destroyed. The Green Company and The Henry County Weekly were the principal losers. The entire outfit of The Henry County Weekly was destroyed. The loss sustained by the D. J. Green Company was the heaviest. The entire livery business of J. J. Smith & Co., located in the Green building, was destroyed. Fullly $100,000 worth of property was destroyed, with less than $10,000 of insurance. WEDDING PLAN UNCHANGED. Rossman Says Dispatches to 'the Contrary Were All Fakes. James G. Rossman most emphatically denies that there were any changes in the "electric" wedding program or any interference whatsoever on the part of the bishop of Brooklyn, N. Y., as was stated in telegrams from the east. The program was carried on exactly as it had been announced. LONGSHOREMEN STRIKE AGAIN. Trouble at New Orleans Is Resumed After Supposed Settlement The commerce of the New Orleans port is tiled up tight by the strike of the longshoremen, which has been revived. Not a ship is being loaded. A contract between the ship agents and the longshoremen had been signed on Monday last, which it was believed settled the strike peaceably and permanently. The rank and file of the longshoremen now refuse to abide by the contract and accuse their committee, who brought about the settlement, of treachery. TRIALIS POSTPONED Delay of Seven Days Granted in Case of J. H. Tillman. LEXINGTON OVERCROWED On recommendation of the grand jury of Lexington county, S. C., and the bar of the town of Lexington, the case of the State vs. James H. Tillman was postponed Monday for seven days. It is understood that at that time a motion for a further continuance will be made by the defense—grounds not stated. It is supposed that this is a point of favor of the defense, as they were afraid of the jury. The grand jury made a special presentment requesting that the six other murder trials be taken up before that of Tillman in order that Lexington county might not be burdened with the expense of holding witnesses. They were not concerned about the Tillman case, because Richland county must bear that expense. Sollificor Thurmond made an effort to have the case set for Thursday, but he could not prevail. Among the fourteen lawyers who appeared in the case Monday there was a congressman, an ex-congressman, a former attorney general and a former circuit judge. Lexington, a town of normal population of 900, held fully two thousand people. Newspaper men were present from as far off as New York. Tillman's Third Trial. The trial granted Tillman is the third hearing the former lieutenant governor has had since the killing of Mr. Gonzales. He was given a preliminary hearing February 19, when he was denied ball and ordered to be confined in the county jail at Columbia, where he remained until his trial, April 8. The defense claimed an absence of witnesses prevented their ready, and the trial was postponed until the September term of court. Tillman's lawyers alleged that it was impossible to obtain a fair trial in Richland county, and Judge Townsend ordered that the trial be heard in Lexington county. Tillman's attorneys are among the most prominent lawyers of the state, George W. Croft, having been a law partner of Tillman, and P. A. Nelson being considered one of the most prominent lawyers in the state of South Carolina. NO WEEVIL IN ARKANSAS. Report of Government Chemist Alegged to be Somewhat Misleading. Arkansas cotton men, and especially those in Little Rock, which is the chief market for the state, discredit the statements in the interview given out at Knoxville, Tenn., by Charles P. McLane, a chemist in the employ of the agricultural department of the United States government, who has spent two months studying the boll weevil in the cotton producing country of the southwest. Mr. McLane says a portion of Arkansas has been devastated by the boll weevil, and that western Arkansas and especially Hempstead county presents a desolate appearance. After a hasty but thorough investigation, it has been established beyond the adventure of a doubt that there are no boll weevils in Arkansas. FARMER KERR GOLDBRICKED. Swindlers Get $3,000, but They are Afterward Made Prisoners. Two alleged confidence men, who are said to have swindled John Kerr, a farmer of East Springfield, Ohio, out of $3,000, were captured Monday by farmers after a fight with shotguns. The men gave their names as A. Blake, of Cincinnati, and Charles Higgins, of Pittsburg. ATLANTANS ARE DISAPPOINTED. Vigorous Kick Made on Surprisingly Low Cost of New Depot. The announcement that the new passenger station to be erected by the Atlanta Terminal Company will cost less than $350,000, instead of $750,000, as it was generally understood the depot was to cost, has caused a number of council members to express themselves as most disappointed, and some of them, have declared that had they known the depot would cost only $350,000 they would not have voted for the city to readjust the grades of the street approaches. NINE OF CREW PERISH. Story of Disaster Which Befell British Steamer in Recent Storm Off the Florida Coast. Captain G. W. Davis and survivors of the British S. S. Inchulva that was wrecked off lower east coast of Florida, passed through Jacksonville Friday night for the north. Captain Davis tells a fearful story of his terrible experience and says he never encountered a worse storm. The gale struck them Friday morning, and by noon the sea was one boiling mass and the ship was pitching and tossing. Water like whirlpool and waves dashed over the vessel. The boats were stripped from fastenings and hurled into the raging sea. At 11 o'clock Boatsman Taylor was hit by a boat and swept overboard. He caught a rope, but the waves tore his loose and dashed him against the side of the ship, smashing his head. The wind at noon was over eighty miles an hour, and it was so dark he couldn't see the length of his ship. For hours a fearful fight went on, captain and crew doing all possible to save the ship and their lives. *Captain Davis was deeply affected by the tragic fate of his officers and men. With him were Chief Mate John McGill, and the Chinese steward. The vessel was bound from Galveston to Hamburg via Newport News, with miscellaneous freight. SPECTACULAR MATRIMONY Given Severe Editorial Condemnation by The New York World. The New York World of Friday morning contained the following editorial on the Lane-Rossman marriage, the original plan of which was changed by the bishop of the diocese: "A Brooklyn wedding ceremony which gave promise of remaining long notable in the annals of spectacular matrimony, because of the unique nature of some of its features, has, perforce, been made conventional and disappointing. The bishop of the diocese interfered to stop a display which, in his view, would be discreditable to the church in which it was to take place. "At this very modern wedding, it was designed to replace the time-honored matrimonial music with a newer-fangled program. We are not sure whether The Voice that Breathed Over Eden, was to be cut out, and the Lohengrin bridal chorus was to give way to 'Dixie,' played on the chimes. Over the chancel rail an 'L' and an 'R' in electric light, the initials of bride and bridegroom, were to blaze out, and as the couple were pronounced man and wife, the 'R' was to deepen in glow, dimming the 'L' into insignificance. It was to be a display very creditable to the electrical expert who was to have charge of the switchboard, but the bishop's ban-spoiled it all. "The honors of vaudeville matrimony are thus left with the brides who took their life partners for better or worse in the lion's cage or up in a balloon. And it is better so. The church is no place for freak marriage ceremonies." BRITISHERS ARE NONPLUSSED. Widespread Consternation Caused by Resignations from Cabinet A London special says: Consternation and excitement caused by the dramatic announcement of Joseph Chamberlain's resignation of the secretaryship for the colonies prevailed among all classes in the United Kingdom to the exclusion of every other topic. The great majority of the public only learned the news from the morning papers, and the astonishment in many cases was so great as to prevent the expression of any coherent opinion. The Pall Mall Gazette of Friday afternoon sums up the general feeling by describing the present crisis as "the most extraordinary in the history of the government," adding that "what will happen no one can forecast with any degree of certainty." A VANDERBILT QUOTATION. Coal Miner Suggests Combine With Owners to Gouge the Public. James Mooney, a coal miner and a member of the national board of the United Mine Workers of America, suggested in a speech at the conference with operators at Kansas City that the coal miners and the mine owners combine to increase the price of coal so that the operators might make a good profit and the miners might receive high wages, regardless of what it might cost the coal-consuming public. TIMELIMITEXPIRES It Is Now Up to President Roosevelt to Make the Next Move—Senator Morgan, of Alabama, Has Something to Say. When the state department closed at 4 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, it was agreed that the Panama canal treaty was dead, although eight hours yet remained within which the Colombian congress might take affirmative action upon it. Nothing, however, had been received during the day, either from Minister Beaupre, at Bogota, or from Mr. Herran, the Colombian charge in Washington, which gave the slightest hope of a favorable issue. A report is current that the Colombian congress in secret session has clothed President Marroquín with full power to negotiate a treaty. If this report should turn out to be true, President Marroquín, who is counted as a friend of the treaty, could proceed untrammeled by the fear of future reckoning with his congress. In any event, President Roosevelt must now take the next step. He can elect to proceed under the Spooner act and take up the Nicaragua route, or he can allow matters to drift for the present, in the hope that, a way may yet be found to straighten out the present difficulties in the path of the Panama route. Contrary to his custom during the summer, Acting Secretary Adee, of the state department, remained in Washington Tuesday night in order to be on hand to act promptly on any information which might come from Mr. Beaupre, regarding canal matters at Hogota. Up to 9:30, however, nothing had been received. Dr. Herran, the Colombian charge, also watted anxiously for news from his government, but, likewise, was disappointed. Colombia, it is known, is anxious to keep alive the canal negotiations. What form her new proposition, with that object in view, will take is not known in Washington. One interesting feature in connection with the legislative situation in Colombia is the fact that the terms of one-third of the members of the senate, numbering nine, will expire on July 20, next, when the life of the present congress ends. These nine senators, it is said, are adverse to the canal treaty. The hope of the advocates of the treaty will be to elect senators in their places who are favorable to the convention. It is expected the campaign for the seats will be made on this issue. Senator Morgan Heard From. When told that the department at Washington had heard nothing concerning the canal treaty, and that it was the last day which the treaty could be considered, Senator Morgan, who was in Montgomery, Ala., for a few days, said: "The treaty has been dead for twenty-five days. Nothing could have resurrected it. Action at Bogota means the building of a canal by the Nicaragua route. Roosevelt has no discretionary powers, but it is made mandatory upon him. It turned out exactly like I expected it. It is the best thing for this country and the world now. It goes back to my proposition to build the Nicaragua canal, and it will be the best thing for this country to do." WERE HID IN A LOFT. Supposed Escapes from North Carolina Lina Pen Had Never Left A dispatch from Raleigh, N. C., says: After nine days and nights of ceaseless search for Drayton Medlin, a murderer serving a life sentence, and A. V. Rice, a thief serving a ten-year sentence, they were found Tuesday afternoon in the penitentiary in the loft of a building long used as a saco shop. They mysteriously disappeared after religious services Sunday, September 18th. They claim they hid a bed and supply of food in the loft. They are much emaculated. BANDITS HOLD, UP TRAIN. Four Masked Men Stop Fast Express and Help Themselves to Cash. Four masked men, at 10 o'clock Thursday night, held up a westbound Burlington and Missouri express train five miles north of St. Joseph, Mo. The safe in the express car was dynamical and the car wrecked. Officials of the road say the safe contained but little money. Other reports say it contained from $5,000 to $10,000. Everything in the safe was taken, and the men escaped in the darkness with horses. A pose was organized and started in pursuit of the bandits. AGAINST BOOKER'S PLANS Education at Tuskegee is on Wrong Lines, According to These Critics of Washington's School. The negro question was discussed at length Tuesday afternoon by members of the Alabama house of representatives, when a bill was called up to appropriate $2,500 additional annually to a negro school located in Montgomery. Booker Washington's methods were condemned by several members. The bill was finally passed by the close vote of 41 to 39. Mr. Wood, who comes from Tuskegee, where Washington's school is located, was severe in his denunciation of Washington and his methods. He said in part: "The Rev. Sam Jonce has been told by Washington and has printed the statement that not one of his (Washington's) students has been in the penitentiary. A bigger lie than that has never been told. The only two legal hangings in my county were students of Washington's school, and they, were charged with rape. Washington himself has prosecuted some of his students in the courts of my city. "The records of the courts will show that some of Washington's pupils have been convicted of every crime known, and there is not a student, of Washington's school living -ih my county that is now earning an honest living. I am opposed to glying money to educate the negro along industrial lines." Mr. Simpson, of Lauderdale, said that Mr. Wood did not represent the sentiment of the south. The members discussed the race question all the afternoon session-pro and con. Mr. Verner, or Tuschaoos, said: "God knows, I don't favor social equality, or anything like it, but the people of Alabama owe the negro something, and it should be pallid. There is not a man upon the floor of this house that has not gotten money from the sweat of the negro's brow, who worked and toiled for him." These speeches and the strong opposition to the bill created considerable surprise. From Another Source: Booker T. Washington and his methods have been criticised by the local presbytery in its weekly meeting, says a dispatch from Philadelphia. The question was brought up through the report of the freedman's committee, of which the Rev. J. Calvin Meade is chairman. The report gave credit to Washington's influence for the increase of interest in the board. It exploded "the animal trait in the negro which is so prominent," and continued, "yet it is to be questioned whether we should not balance the brutal assault on womanhood with the subtle power of seduction, in which the white man of social standing is an adept." It urges the churches to "rise above prejudice and devote all energies toward dealing with the negro problem." and deplored any mob violence. Immediately after the reading, Dr. James A. Warden, superintendent of Sabbath schools and missionary work, salit: "I seriously question the methods of Booker T. Washington in educating, the negro. "He is giving exaggerated importance to industrial education and subordinating the education of the spiritual and religious influences. Booker T. Washington was in a pulpit in this city recently, and throughout his seminary spoke on hireshoeing and carpentering, not once mentioning Christ. I believe that the presbytery should choose their own leaders for the higher education of the negro. "I question whether the popularity of Booker T. Washington helps the freedman, but it does help Washington and the Tuskegee institute. KEPT HIM ON THE MOVE. -New Assistant to Attorney General -Know Quickly the Job of Juice-H. Tyler Campbell, of Bristol, Tenn., has resigned his position as assistant to Attorney General Knox, to which he was appointed a few months ago. The position kept him on the road a great deal, which was objectionable to him. Judge Campbell was the republican candidate for governor at the last election in Tennessee. MILLIONAIRE ASSASSINATED. Orlando P. Dexter, Prominent New Orlando P. Dexter, Prominent New Noche de Court, Mihigan Yorker, Sot Down on Highway. A dispatch from Malone, N. Y., payer. While driving a thoroughbred horse along one of the roads in his great 7,000 acre estate at Lake Dexter in the Addrondacks Saturday, Orlando, D. Dexter was assassinated. His skier was concealed in heavy foliage by the road and shot twice at the millionaire, both bullets striking him. Mr. Dexter, beheaded being a millionaire, was in well known New York attorney, a noted geologist, and a prominent member of the New York Historical Society. PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY, BY THE TRIBUNE PUBLISHING CO. 116 W. St. Julian Street. G#. Phone 574. Be straight-forward in all of your dealings and you will get along better. PETTY jealousies will cause the non-success of many. Get rid of that weakness. ARE you in favor of race enterprises? Do you support them? If not, why not? LET the race question alone. So much agitation is harmful. The less said of it, the better off all concerned will be. THE reputation made by those of our students at the well known colleges of the country should spur others on to do even better. THIS is the season when the farmers are in need of many helps and numbers of our people in the rural districts are being benefitted. THERE is nothing better for a man of family than owning a cozy home, and having his life insured for a snug sum in a reputable insurance company. LET our people purchase as much as possible of the available farm lands in the state, if they don't in a few more years they would wish that they had done so. DESPITE what is being said about him, there is a certain class of our people that is going steadily ahead improving their condition, by acquiring property and saving a part of their earnings. Next week the inspiring sight of hundreds of little ones wending their way to school, will be witnessed. These little ones are the hope of our race. Much will depend upon their training in the school room and especially at home. No-colored man in business, especially those who are dependent on his people for success, can afford to set the example of not patronizing professional men and other enterprises of the race. This applies to some of the ministers of the gospel especially. It is reported that the Calvin bill is doing much toward causing the loafing element to go to work. The law is to be commended for this much, but in some instances worthy persons are placed in prison by certain courts, even though they have evidence in their favor. It is disgusting to think of the large number of our young men and old ones too, who are in lucrative positions and looked upon as being among the prominent citizens, who pay not a penny for poll tax. Such men are unworthy of the respect that they are receiving from their acquaintances. CRIME committed by the members of any race is condemned by us. Those who are guilty should be punished. The horrible crime charged to a certain class of our people is abhorred and we are always in favor of the guilty ones given their just deserts. The hiding of crime should not be tolerated by any one. Some of our people who are accused of crimes and arrested, in many instances resist being arrested. They should discontinue this action. By resisting it only goes harder with them, and if they are in any way injured by the officers, they have no redress for it. It is far better to quietly submit to arrest. The law at all hazzard should be respected. The Rev. Denegall who was reported in the morning paper last week as being against the colored children receiving a higher education as that being the sole field of the whites, says that he was not reported, correctly. The reverend is advised to have the morning paper correct the same, or else he will be branded as one who is against the material welfare of the race. IN many sections of the state land owners refuse to sell to colored people, preferring to rent to them because they make more money thereby. Some of the renters make good crops during the season but it takes nearly all they make to pay the rent and meet their other expenses. If it is impossible for these renters to purchase land in their locality, they should go where they can. The same amount that they are paying in rent with a little more could go toward purchasing a small farm and in the end, they would be greatly benefited. AND after all we are beginning to be convinced that the labor leaders are using the Negroes as cats' paws. In Chicago recently there was a strike of waiters and other hotel helps. The colored contingent joined the whites in the strike which resulted in the whites getting what they demanded and the colored got left. The whites cared nothing for the welfare of the colored members after they got what they wanted and there it is. Another feature of the strike was the supplying of the places of many of the colored strikers with white helps. 'The same thing will happen here at any time. The white mechanics in the city have been anxious for the organizing of the colored ones. This has been done to a great extent. Heretofore on Labor Day all of the Unions have had a joint parade, etc., the last time the whites would not join the parade. When the matter comes to a test it will be found as stated above that the Negroes are only being used as cats' paws. Another thing, if the colored unions have any influence with the national bodies they should make a demand for the recognition of their members by the unions of the north and west, and have the barrier against colored mechanics in those sections thrown down. This should be the campaign of the colored unions all over the country, if they are anxious for others of the race be recognized. THE testimony in favor of our people by such eminent men as Bishop Candler, Gov. Northern and other of their stamp, out-weighs the impracticable vaporings of John Temple Graves, Senators Tillman, Carmack and their ilk. Bishop Candler says: "The situation in the south is one of difficulty of course. So is the situation in Chicago, or that of London, or that of New York. Our homes in the south are safer than the homes of Chicago. Give me the Negro any time, in preference to the anarchists and free lovers. In fact, I do not wish to live in any country where there are no Negroes." Gov. Northern goes further and declared himself in favor of our people as follows: "I will trust them in every relation far more confidently than I would the mongrel population of self-announced Socialists anarchists, and outlaws, who do the mental service of other sections. "We don't want to deport the Negroes. We could not if we so desired. How can you force 10,000,000 of people to leave the country when they exercise the same civil rights as are accorded to you?" "The Negro furnishes, almost exclusively, the farm labor at the South. If all other possible conditions could be met satisfactorily, their leaving in a body or gradually would paralyze the agricultural conditions at the South beyond recovery for three generations. The better classes of the negroes have shown themselves quite as much in favor of the death penalty for the out-laws of their race who commit assaults as are the white people themselves. There is no longer that disposition to conceal and protect these criminals against full and proper punishment. "When this punishment is administered uniformly by due process of law and not by the barbarous burnings by the mob, you will find the most active co-operation on their part in bringing the criminal to the tribunal designated to punish crime." THE TRIBUNE has been informed that in South Georgia several thousand acres of land have been offered for sale to our people at a few dollars per acre. We are always advising our people to secure these lands as far as they are able to. In years to come these lands will be more valuable and out of the reach of many of our people who are now able to purchase. The purchasing of these lands and the proper cultivation of the same will within the next fifteen years make many a man among us rich. We are strong believers in an industrial education for the mass of our people and will ever even urge the ambitious ones and those who are able to get as much education as they can. St. Phillips Dots. Sunday was endowment day and quite a neat sum was raised for that purpose. The money raised on that day goes for educational purposes. There are a good many of St. Philips' members returning home from their vacation. We hope our people will respond more liberally - in our next rally. The dollar money is now due and we hope that every member will pay their dollar. St. Philips wants to make a grand report this year as the Georgia Conference will convene here this year and great things are looked for from our church and it wont do for Rev. Sims to be behind in his report. If he does, it will reflect on our church, so we can't afford it. Begin right now to pay up. Let every class leader and each member see to it that they pay and we can't expect any more. The following services will be held on Sunday: prayer meeting at 5 a.m.; preaching at 11 a.m.; Sunday school at 3:30 p.m.; Christian endeavor meeting will be at St. Philips Monumental.

The Rose---Undisputed Queen of Flowers. By John N. May, Treasurer of the American Rose Society. HE history of the race is full of romance and poetry. When the flower was first introduced as a garden bloom must ever remain a matter of conjecture; but it is certain that the ancients knew and admired this Queen of the Flowers many, many centuries ago. T Early Greek writers mention it in many of their writings, asserting that it was consecrated to Venus as an emblem of beauty, to Cupid as an emblem of love and to Harpocrates as the god of silence. Probably this last fact explains why the white rose was regarded as a symbol of silence, and at ancient carnivals as suspended from the ceiling and around it was written this sentence: "He who doth secrets reveal Beneath my roof shall never dwell." What faith and what confidence must have existed between man and man in those days when only the presence of a flower was needed to insure silence and to impress upon those present the injunction that secrets were to the kept inviolable! The Romans also held the rose in great esteem. The beautiful varieties we now to-day were unknown to them, for it is a matter of history that until the beginning of the nineteenth century very few double roses had been introduced. Since that time innumerable and grand varieties have come into existence, and to-day they range in color, size and fragrance from the small tiny button size to those measuring five inches and more in diameter, and in air from the purest white to the deeper maroon, or nearly black. The only use of color not yet attainable is blue. Though nature has been lavish in sowing all other shades, forms and sizes, the lover of the rose must be sent without this color. But this, I am sure, will be no great hardship, as it is a glorious range of hues from which to choose. the wild or native rose can be found growing in abundance in nearly temperate zone. It is found in Asia, Africa, the whole of Europe and America. The native varieties are the original parents of all the grand that now embellish the gardens and homes of millions of the earth's plants. The old-fashioned rose, with its single row of petals, found No one will dispute the popularity of the rose. Certain flowers become the fads of the hour and hold sway for a time, but are soon dethroned. The rose is always in demand, summer and winter, and the sales of its blooms are not exceeded by those of any other flower. Its season of special favor is winter, when no special function is deemed complete without the presence of this beautiful flower. Can Floods Be Prevented? HE Middle West, meaning the territory of the lower Missouri, the Kaw and the Des Moines rivers, suffered a flood loss last spring estimated at $25,000,000. And this despite the fact that millions of dollars are used each year by the Government and by States in building levees and otherwise endeavoring to confine the lower Mississippi and Missouri within safe bounds. It has proved thus far impossible to control entirely the mighty force of these rivers; their frequent rebellions result in inundations with alarming regularity. Suppose the money lost this one season, to say nothing of the vast sums wiped away during all the forty years of Western settlement, had been spent in intelligent preventive measures at the heads of the streams, would it have been effective? Already many Western farmers, have thrown up dams across ravines and sloughs on prairie farms, which hold back the rain's bounty. These are constructed primarily as cattle watering places, but they keep the floods from the land-below and save-many a field from having its crop washed out. If this system be extended over the whole area of the upper basin on a larger scale, it would not only retain a great portion of unseasonable rainfall, but give opportunity for irrigation on the lower levels from the stored water. The Senate of the recent Congress has already realized the necessity of doing something, for it passed a bill appropriating $10,000,000 for the purchase of 2,500,000 acres on the top of the Appalachian range in the States of North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky and Georgia, the object being to protect the forests and to prevent floods by holding the waters on the hillsides, rather than allow them free course over deforested areas. The bill failed in the House, but it ought to succeed at next session. The establishment of a permanent reservoir system under Government control and with ample appropriations for its construction should be the next step in the development of the West. It will mean a tremendous body of water held high up on the prairie slopes, exerting its influence in the modification of the hot winds and the drouths; it will furnish to the growing area of irrigated lands a steady supply through the summer months; it will retain the rains the life of the agriculturists of the lower Mississippi and Missouri one, and so prevent the floods that annually spoil the low-lying farms and make INCIDENT IN MOROCCO EEKERS after adventure need go no further than Morocco for stirring incident. Let them merely be captured by the tribesmen who are in revolt against S the Sultan, and if they live to tell the story, publishers will be eager enough to buy it. They are fairly certain of receiving courteous treatment. They may be chopped to pieces as an example of what the followers of the prophet can do to a dog of an unbeliever, but until that moment arrives they will live as well as their captors—which, if not up to western standards, is better than not living at all. This is suggested by the story told by Mr. Harris, the correspondent of the London Times, who speaks from experience. His capture and retention by the tribesmen constituted almost an international incident—as his captors desired—and his release after three uncomfortable weeks was the result only of much skilled diplomacy on the part of the British foreign office. Mr. Harris is an old hand in the East. He has lived in Morocco many years and knows everybody there that is worth knowing. He has lived with the Arabs of the Yemen, and escaped from their desire to kill Christians by, so to say, the skin of his teeth. His capture shows that he has not yet fully fathomed the guile of the Oriental. The troops of the Sultan had just burned a village, and Mr. Harris went out to see what had been done. He was unarmed, and was accompanied only by his Moorish groom. Out on the plain he was shot at, and a retreat was ordered, when his movement was stopped by the approach of two tribesmen, whom he knew, who advanced with conventional signs of friendliness. They wanted to know what the Sultan intended doing, and asked him to come to the chief so that he might get messages to carry to his majesty. Under promises of safe conduct he went, and was promptly pounced upon and captured by retainers of Raissull, the chief. Raisult, according to his story, is a handsome young man, mild in manner and courteous in address. Mr. Harris had known him well in Tangler before he took to the hills. He received the Englishman warmly and told him that no harm would come to him as long as the Sultan made no attack. If this happened he would sorrowfully be compelled to kill him. Perhaps he would kill him anyway, for by what better means could he embarrass his enemy than by killing a prominent Christian, and an Englishman at that? This was all said in the presence of some 2000 tribesmen, most of whom were flourishing their knives and hangers in a most threatening manner. In the meantime, everything possible would be done for the comfort of the prisoner. They put him in jail. It was a very small, very dark and very dirty room. When the prisoner's eyes became accustomed to the darkness, he saw on the floor the headless trunk of a man. That was a cheerful beginning, and Mr. Harris's feelings were not quieted by the remarks made by some men who a little later came in to remove the corpse. The intimation was that soon there would be another in the same room, and of a glaour. For nine days he was kept in this room. He got, in quantity, all he wanted to eat, except once, when for thirty-six hours there was food for no one and, save for a few kicks and slaps with slippers, he was not misused. He was not allowed to change his clothes or to wash his face. Every evening at sundown he was taken out to have a conversation with Ralsull, who kept assuring him that possibly, but not probably, his life would be spared. Once, as an earnest of this, he was taken down to a gully to see the mutilated body of a Moorish soldier, who had been captured, and jokingly assured him that a few days might see him in the same condition. At the end of nine days, on a hot, moonless night, he was put on a mule's back and taken up into the mountains, where he was the captive of a tribe friendly to him. There he remained for twelve days, in great luxury, as compared with what he had endured at the hands of Ralsull. He became, in a sense, one of the tribe—shaved his head and adopted their customs generally. It was a very pleasant vacation, and would have been, thoroughly enjoyed had not there been the very uncomfortable feeling that should the negotiations fall through he would be put out of the way with small ceremony. In the end he got his release, although it almost led to bloodshed among the tribesmen, and with great cepemony was conducted into Tangler. Thus ended the adventure, which merely shows that the Balkans have not a monopoly on the exciting incidents of the modern world. --- A NIGHT IN A KING'S TOMB Writing of some of the many old places in which she has slept during her travels around the world, Jessie Ackerman says: While traveling in that most interesting section of India, Cashmere, I heard of a wonderful tomb of some ancient King, and was urged not to leave the country without seeing it. It was about a day's journey from where I was, stopping, and I started on the trip one morning in a government-cart (British) with a native guide, who also acted, as interpreter, and a coolie driver. Expecting to return that night, I took neither bedding lh; and men looked wise as we starled that morning, predicting all kinds of unpleasant weather. The road was abandoned during the whirlwind, because it led over a great waste, and fll. frovision was made for travelers. Fifteen miles from our destination an accident befell our horse. Darkness was fast gathering. The only possible refuge was the King's tomb, which we had started to see, so we decided that the only tilting to do was to walk the distance. I have always been fond of walking; but I cannot truthfully say that I enjoyed that fifteen-mile tramp through the cold and darkness. Reaching the tomb at last, we decided that it would be best for me to take up my quarters within the tomb, the guide remaining with me, while the coolie walked to a village some miles farther on in search of another horse. It was dark beyond 'description inside the tomb, and when the footsteps of the coolie could no longer be heard, every sound, save one, died away on the stiffness of the night. I made my way cautiously to the farthest corner, groping along against the wall of the tomb, thinking to take what comfort could be had from so miserable a situation: No sooner had I settled for the night than I heard the most weird, unearthly sound that ever pierced human ears. The uncanny place had suddenly taken on the atmosphere of life. There was a sound of rushing of wings that froze the blood in my veins. My heart seemed to have stopped beating. Suddenly I discovered what it was. A horde of horrid bats had awakened from their lethargy and simultaneously started on a tour of investigation. Bats are ugly creatures. I would rather have sixteen active babies all clutch my hair at the same time than surrender my locks to one sportive bat, especially of the Italian variety. Their wings and shrieks became a rhythm to which my tired senses kept time until bleessed, slumber came, and the morning brought a pair of fresh horses and a coolie, laden with breakfast for two.—The Houskeeper. SAVED THE GOLD. Surgeon-General Sternberg had a peculiar experience at the battle of Bull Run. Just before going in he was approached by an Irish sergeant-major of his regiment, who handed him a bag of gold coin weighing three or four pounds. "Doctor," said the Irishman, "I know I'm to be kilt enthirely, an' I want you to take care of this money an' see that it gets to the ould folks at home in ould Ireland." The doctor had no time to remonstrate or make any other arrangement, for the Irishman dropped the bag into the surgeon's lap and hurried away to his place at the head of the column. All through two bloody days Dr. Sternberg carried that bag of gold with his surgical instruments, and it was a burden and embarrassment to him. He tried to get rid of it, but he couldn't find any one willing to accept or even share the responsibility, and he couldn't throw it away for the sake of the "ould folks at home." Toward the close of the second day the surgeon was taken prisoner. He lost his surgical instruments and his medicine case, but clung to the gold, and making a belt of his necktie and handkerchief, it tied it around his waist next to the skin to prevent its confiscation by his captors. During the long, hot and weary march that followed, the gold pieces chafed his flesh, and his waist became so sore and blistered as to cause him intense suffering, but he was bound that the "could folks at home" should have the benefit of that money, and by the exercise of great caution and patience managed to keep it until he was exchanged with other prisoners and got back to Washington. Here he found his regiment in camp, and one of the first men to welcome him was the Irish sergeant-major, who was so delighted to learn that the doctor had saved his money that he got drunk and gambled it all away the first night.—Washington Star. CLIMBING MOUNT HOOD An excellent wagon road leads from the Willamett valley to within five miles of the summit of Mount Hood. To reach the-top involves much tollsome climbing and no small amount of danger. Despite these obstacles, the peak has been ascended by thousands of persons, and only one fatal accident in making the descent has been recorded. That occurred two years ago. Although the air is extremely rare and the temperature low, a number of persons have passed the night on the topmost crest. From the summit the scene is one of indescribable grandeur and beauty. Here you are lifted above the clouds—so far away that the world lies remote beneath the eye; cities and towns shrink into insignificance. Vast indeed is the panorama outspread to view. Forests, mountains, plains, valleys and streams grow indefinite and unsubstantial—like a subdued plature floating in the sky. An all-pervading sense of the unreal takes possession of the soul. Above the ethereal strata of the clouds you can gaze down upon them. The cloud effects are wonderful. Looking in all directions, you fancy your eyes are ranging over a vast, shoreless ocean. Yet there is a wildly tumbled and tossed aspect that the sea, even when shaken by the most furious tempest, does not assume. While the boundless stretch of clouds remind you of the vehement sea, yet the fiecery, masses seem far too light and alry for the limitless waters of the Pacific with its far-reaching waste of waters.—J.

Harold was a dear little fellow, only three years old. His parents had gone to a new country in the far west. It was very different from the city-which they had left, with all the dear friends, relatives and, nearest of all, a dear old grandma. Mamma had so much to attend in the new home that she had little time for the children excepting to keep them clean and give them their meals. Lonesome, indeed, they were, its mother discovered one day in a manner that brought tears to her eyes. Harold had been very quiet and busy for some time digging a hole in the ground. He had been so earnest about it that, when it was completed, she went to examine the spot. There she discovered that he had buried a picture of his dear grandma. "Why, Harold," she exclaimed, "what are you doing with this?" "I thought," said the little man with tears of loneliness, streaming down his cheeks, "if I planted it maybe I could grow another 'grandma'" —Bogus, Herald. THE GIRL WE LIKE. The girl who is sunny.

The gentest, most persuasive purr! Oh, everybody told me that She was the "loveliest little cat!" So when she on the-table sprung, And lapped the cream with small red tongue. Now, large and quick, and strong will. She'll spring upon that table still! And spite of all my watchful caro, Will snatch the choicest lainting there; And everybody says, "Scat! Scat!

China has recognized the pre-eminent educational purposes of the coming World's Fair at St. Louis by deciding to make a feature of its display its educational exhibit, which, according to Vice Commissioner Wong, will show the elaborate Government system in operation in China. The exhibit will include displays in mines and metalurgy, agriculture, art and education, besides a very interesting exhibit of the arms, costumes and other objects connected with the civic life of the Chinese which will be made in the Varied Industries Building. These will cover a period of over 100 years in the history of the Mongolian Empire. The most important trade with the Chinese is that of the Yangtze river, which drains the largest, and most productive area of China. The position of the United States in this trade is shown by a consular report, which gives the percentage of business of the various nations: British, 51.2; German, 17.5; Japanese, 10; American, 1.6. a Se ae . .- *_ 6 St Sure — © TEIGERE SE ges Ye ae ‘ e - mas “GUESSING. ~~" away” out of view.

SIE Is the tiger that disturbs his highness,” Rain Abadbur sald. “He as appeared in the jungle about Nah- ‘afiad, and there fs much talk of im 2 jong the people. He is a man-eater, ut -that is nothing. Strange reports have come to the palace that the beast Js in, the likeness of a tiger’ pictured on the flag of the old Kebab kings, and the story has spread that he Is the re- incarnation of Raj Kebab. Tits com- Sng, it Is whispered, means some mis- fortune to the relgning family—a death, or it even might be that which bis Parnes most dreads (this 48 very ecret, sabib), the return of the old ruling family to the throne.” ~Through'many traditions I knew Raj Kehab, the mighty founder of the royal family that had ruled Budhra- pore Yor a thousand years, up to the ‘time, balf a century before, when the East India Company installed in power ‘the new dynasty, which began with the present Rajah’s grandfather, and I ‘had seen In the Viceroy’s palace at Calcutta, kept as a relic, the flag which from the thme of Raj Kehab down to the last king devtended from him had been the emblem of the Kehab dy. nasty.

He was master of bis craft. He knew the ‘habits of all the jungle beasts and could read the tokens of thelr goinzs and comings ag surely as the -white ‘man reads the business signs in the eity streets. Before I had’ time to speak with him I was hailed from the Yerandah by Captain Bent Murdoch, Chief of the Budbrapore police, who had ridden with his orderly frouf Ca- ramhat that morning. After bidding him welcome I questioned Khatra as to the truth of the report of a man- eating tiger in the Nahrabad jungle. 1 “Ihave seen hii,” the sbikarl an- ‘swered. “Watching from a tree, I “saw him pass not twenty paces away. ‘On that day he carried off my cousin's ‘wife from the rice field. He had feast- ed and had no need to kill, but he looked at me, Sablb, bis color! 1 swear by Krishna, he was white, And his eyes!

Sahlb, it is useless to follow him, for he is a ghost tiger.

Ried to object, but I ‘overruled hls objections, and he wn- ‘willingly agreed te be our guide. The details having been arranged,.I had time to talk with Murdoch. For sev- eral months ho had been unusually busy suppressing the dacolts who, at the beginning of the year, bad ‘started *tHelr annual carnival of robbery and murder ‘tn the Rajah's dom{ninons. He had broken up the prinelyial band, and, so far as could be known, those of the ‘outiaws who had ‘not been killed outright were in jail awalting “the trials, which would determine whether- they should be hanged ot sent to penal servitude in the Anda- _mans.

It the old dynasty had not been overthrown by the help of the English he might be RajatZof Budhra- pore to-day. We are going to his an- cestral clty tonight to wait for the tiger.” Our preparations for the hunt were slmple—two heavy rifies, a haversack with provisions, and a mat to sit on, We made our start for Nehrabad in the afternoon and rode to # little village at the juhgle’s edge, where the people had already gathered the wood for the fires which they would burn at night -to keep the tiger away. Leaving the horses there in charge of the captain's orderly, we walked along the bullock path which led through a dense jungle to the ruined clty.” An hour's walking brought us to a spot ‘where the path emerged into an open, grassy space. On the right, across a nullab, a rained wall encircled the face of an eminence, and a vast heap of ‘fatten stone rising lke a hill within it was Nabrabad, Raj Kehab's city. Wild ‘vines and bushes hid the ruin in places, and a few trees had forced thelr way into the open among the stones of the fallen walls. Here and there n carved column or stretch, of wall stood in place, Far up in the ruins, at the very top, there rose from the debris two marble posts, with the capstones still resting upon them. Here had been the mafu entrance of the Rajah’s palace, dnd frém it a rock stairway, on which ten men might have marched abreast, could be traced down to a broad platform where a gate had opened In the city wall, The gate and its posts were gone, but a filght of steps, with the hewn stones brokei™ and awry, but still in place, remained, leading from the platform down to the foot of the slope below the fyall. Be- tween the foot of the wall and the nullah, which once had been a moat, there was a thick growth of jungle shrubs as high as a man's shoulders. With Khatra leading, we went cau, Hously on until he paused at a line of bent and trampled grass where some large, soft-footed creature had made a pathway between the jungle and the nullab opposite the gateway. We fol- Jowed the path Into the nullab, which wag swampy at the bottom. On the bard ground the tracks were Invistble to the white man's exe, but here they were deeply Imprinted in the molst soll, the great paws of a tiger, which. not many hours before, had descended from the jungle into the nullah ard thence up the other side to the foot of the broken steps leading to the gate- way. “The tiger {s at home,” the sbikari sald. “If he comes out to range to- night he will pass There. We. must awalt his coming beyond the nullab.” ‘We went back neross the nullah to chose our places. The sun was near its setting, and we had no time to lose: About thirty yards from the brink was a korinda bush large enough to shelter us all, We crawled under this, and the long, horizontally growing branches, with thelr tips drooped to the ground on every side, made a perfect place of concealment, Through the leafage we cut loopholes from which we gould command the path on both sides of the nullab-and the steps and gateway beyond. This done, we opened the baversack, ate our supper and settled ourselves for waiting. The sun had plunged down behind the ruins, and soon the blackness of the Indlan night hid the ruined elty a hundred yards away. The very stars were shut from our view by the overlapping branches above our heads. We tipped.bur rifle sights with phosporus in order that they might readily be caught in the darkness, and then made ourselves ra comfortable as possible, ‘There were the usual, night noises 8f the jungle, ‘and our ears quickened at the rustling of small animals in-the grass about us, but there was‘no sound to indicate that the tiger had come forth. In an hour the round moon came up behind us, flooding the scene with light, and the shikerl, crouching @ebind me, touched myer. “See, sahib! Below the wall, to the left of the steps.” Just above the tops of the bushes, betteen the nullah and the foot of thé wall, 2 white-spot was moving, as if afioat in the alr, toward the steps that led down from the gateway to the ground. “what is t, Khatra?” I whispered, but the shikarl did not answer. With puzzled ‘curfosity Murdoch and I watched the thing slowly skirting the foot of the wall. It was not dificult tn vnderetand that o cnneratitions na- tently. | Turning ovr gase opward, Murdoch und I looked nt the palace UoarWway, where 4 hew figure hid ap- peared. The capstoné on whicli, by traditlot; Haj Kehab's tiger embiem stead tarved i marble, had in the ‘Gaylight rested Jevel and bare upon the oats. Nowbupon the capstone, in the full ‘rays of the moon, white as the marble beneath it, the form of a tiger was silhouetted against the night sky. For a few long seconds, while we walted and wondered, it remained like a statue of alabaster, then in ‘an {i- stant vanished, It was all very queer tnd eerie: . “tt ig no delusion; we both saw him. What do you think? I whispered to Murdoch. v “We're here to shoot whatever comes,” the captain answered. “If it Isn't a trick of Imagination, 1f that’s the fellow that made the tracks in the nullahy be should show up next at the gateway. Ha! what's that—be- low the wall, at the foot of the steps? ‘he tiger can't bave goue down there ao soon! It's a man—and he's going ‘up into the city.” In the excitement of watching the apparition on the capstone we had taken no further thought of the white oofect afloat above the bushes, uutil now,-emerging into the open space at the foot of the steps, it took form of the turban of a tall man in native gab, ssho began to ascend the steps to the gateway, As bis head and shdulders rose above the landing he looked around, bringing his profile into view. Murdoch started. , z “Khatra!” he whispered, shaling the trembling shikarl, “tell me who it Is you see!" . “Captain sahib,” ‘the answer came quiveringly, “it is the spirit of his great ancestor, Raj Kebab. It is Nadraj.” The man went on. stepped upon the landing and stood upright, while bis shadow, stretching across the platform before him, fell upon a square-faced upright stone. A pale something crept like,a giant snake, then suddenly en- larging enormously, shot forward in a white streak which gathered upon and overwhelmed tne tall figure at the landing. ‘The sound of a man's cry of alarm was Jost in the deep-throated note of a tlger’g snarl, as the two went together down to the pavement. A savage shake, the sound of crunching Done, heard plainly by us a hundred yards away, and the tiger, rising to his feet, lifted his head, and with cyes glowing ‘with opaline ‘Games looked over his victlm across the nollah as if In challenge. to us. Our rifles were already sighted upon him, and we fired together. ‘Through the smoke we saw the tiger rise into the alr above the man, fall balf way down upon the steps below, and roll to the bottom. Before the rattle of our shots bad diéd away among the ruins he lay outstretched and imotion- less at the foot of the steps, while at the top the head of the man he had killed, hanging Ilmply over the edge of the landing, seemed peering down at his slayer. ‘We reloaded our riftes, crawled from under the bush, and went over to gvhere the tiger was lying, By the light of a torch we examined the mys- terlous beast which had terrified the Rajah and his kingdom. Its hair was milk-white from nose to tail tips, and its eyes the color of red-hued irises. It needed no naturalist to tell us that the rarest of jungle trophies, an albino tiger, hatl fallerf to our guns. “I am an old man and have hunted the jungle for all my days,” sald the shikarl, “but never have I seen or heard of anything,so wonderful.” = ‘Then we went up the steps to the landing where the dead man Jay. Mur- doch lifted the head—the neck was broken—and as Khatra held the torch down to the upturned face they both exclaimed together, “It s Nadrajt” ‘We Iald the dead dacolt out on the Platform, with bis folded turban cov- ering his face, and went back to the tiger. The threat of death would not have induced Khatra to touch the body, but he held the torch while Murdoch aid I skinned the beast.

There is also confirmatory evidence from a gentleman in Egypt, who says that he was recently able to sleep at Ismailla without mosquito nets, The campaign against Culex at Ismaili oxiginally promised to be a didicult one, owing to the large number of sewage cisterns under the houses, and the result shows how easily a simple and obvious {dea like that of diminish- Ing mosquitoes Dy dealing with their breeding places can be acted upon by an intelligert and effective executive which sets to work at once, instead of srasting time on useless discussions, Dr. Blochmann, of Kiel, hag been at work for some time trying to concen- ‘traté the wavessof the vwireless tele- graph so, that they will oily be trans- mitted in one direction, and so that their reception at the other end of the Jine will indicate the direction from which they come, He has succeeded ‘by meanis of fenses composed of resin, ‘paraffin, glass and other materials hav- ng a high dielectric constant in limit- ing the rays to special directions, The detector tens at the receiving station only adult rays nearly at right angles ‘to its surface, 0 a close approximation to their source may be attained.

Every night when the man left the oflice he went around to the north alde of the park and sat déwn on a stone pile that marked the site of a historic building and stared with dreamy, wist- Tul eyes at a small frame shanty on the opposite side of the way. One night gnother man, who had seen bim sitting there often, asked him. what ho was thinking about. “About home,” said he, “That little franie house over there and a few others Iike it that have been put up by the subway company are the only things in all this town that look the least bit lke home, In the place I came from most of the houses were frame, with gingerbread trimmings pround the eaves, and a good many of them were shaped like that shanty, and some. were painted that very color."—New York Times.

The company has connected with it also a mutual benefit feature, which it has been conducting successfully for some time, paying out large amounts for sickness and death. The prospectus of the company shows that it is being conducted on a high business plan and its bid for public patronage should meet a responsive chord. The success of the Savannah branch is due to the energetic efforts of Mr. Armstrong, who will not be satisfied until he has a large force of our young men and women employed and the business of the company spread in every corner of the city.

Buxton at the McCoy Baptist church on Thursday and the remains were laid to rest in the McCoy Cemetery. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family. The Women of the Bible.

A prop- er conception of thé meaning of the Word economy is necessary in order to grasp'the fulness of either term, Econ. omy in buying means to pay as much asa thing Is Worth and no more. Ju- diclous marketing means purchasing things In their best condition and jn thelr season and in not buying more or less of perishable goods than what is needed for each day.~ Violation of this most essential rule is a ‘source of much waste of money. Economy docs not mean stinginess. Enough Is enouwsh. Generosity does not consist jn a Javish superfiulty of food or drink, Flour, grains and dried fruit will keep for an fistefinite time if stored in adry place. Beef and mutton should be kept in a dry, cool place for some time before cooking, but veal and Iamb should be: cooked when freshly killed. Fish and vegetables cannot be bought too fresh. Poultry should be cooked when fresh, but game requires more time to develop.the favor. ‘The best place to market Is at the large stores, where there fs a large pa- tronage and quick sales. In-smaller stores goods get stale by standing’ so long or the shielves. _° NEW WINDOW DRAPERIES. | By economy is not meant ‘to buy the cheapest or the bighest priced foods. In meats the cheapest Is not the most economtcal, since it 1s apt to be inferior and tough, in which case it would be the mostrespensive. The old saying ‘that the best 1s the cheapest applles es- pecially to meats—American Queen. ‘The question of window and arch- way draperies fs 2 particularly live ove td the present day houseliolder. We fare entering upon what an English writer terms “a renaissance of interior decoration,” and the flood tide of French and Italian designs that mark all new fabries quite sustains is con- elusion. ‘There {s no phase of this study in which the Impulse of inven- tion 4s felt more strongly than in that which deals with new draperies and thpir counterfelts, wall papers.
