JOE BEGINS FIGHT Chamberlain, Ex-Member of British Cabinet in Glasgow. FREE TRADE DENOUNCED Britisher's Campaign, in Attempt to Uphold His Protection Policy, of Great Interest to His Fellow Countrymen. Joseph Chamberlain set out from Birmingham, England, Tuesday morning on his fiscal campaign, amid every demonstration of good will from his fellow townsmen. Hundreds gathered at the railroad station and alternately sang "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow," and shouted "Good Old Joey' and "The Country's Wish You." A dispatch from Glasgow, Scotland, says: Whatever may be the opinion held regarding the great question, which Mr. Chamberlain (recently resigned from the British cabinet) has raised or the probable issue of his campaign, it is generally admitted that he has opened it in a masterly manner. As though inspired by the knowledge that the practical collapse and break of the unionist party left him in sole possession of the field, he spoke with more than his customary energy and persuasiveness. It was an inspiring scene within the hall in which he delivered his speech. Every corner of the auditorium was packed with men and women, cheering, singing and waving handkerchiefs as the chairman, Sir Matthew Arthur, led Mr. Chamberlain to the platform. A distinguished company of peers and members of the house of commons was present, with a host of ladies, including Mrs. Chamberlain, in the reserved gallery. After the presentation of lengthy trades statistics, Mr. Chamberlain said that if the colonial trade did not increase with the population of the United Kingdom, with the decrease of foreign trade, Great Britain would sink into a fifth rate nation, and her fate would be the same as that of empires of the past. Speaking of the consequences of the present policy to this country, Mr. Chamberlain pointed out the loss of the 1t plate trade, and said if they could have offered the United States advantages to leave the trade alone, it would have been retained. The result of such a policy, the speaker claimed, must be the entire loss of the colonial trade, while, on the contrary, with preferential treatment, the United Kingdom would capture the foreign trade with the colonies, and give employment to additional millions of workers. DEPRIVED OF BOTH HUSBANDS. Peculiar Hebrew Matrimonial Tangle Settled in Baltimore Court. A curious matrimonial complication has been fully settled by Judge Sharp, at Baltimore, granting Samuel Oren a divorce from Marie Royden. Last October the couple were married. As the couple approached the altar Joseph Goldberg, formerly a sultor, slipped a coin into the girl's hand, and, according to old Jewish custom, claimed her as his wife. The incident created a sensation among the crowd in the synagogue, but the rabbi concluded to marry the girl to Oren. Next day Goldberg and the girl eloped to Boston. Oren tried to secure a warrant for the girl's arrest. Failing in this he went to Philadelphia and consulted a number of orthodox rabbis respecting the case. Meanwhile Goldberg and the girl returned to Baltimore and went to live with Goldberg's parents. Goldberg contended that the girl's marriage to Oren was null and void and that his own was bindings because she was forced to marry Oren by her parents. The case was finally submitted to a council of Jewish rabbis, who decided that the girl had to be divorced from both husbands. HOST OF WITNESSES HEARD. The State Makes Rapid Progress In Trial of J. H. Tillman. A vast amount of testimony was taken Friday in the trial of J. H. Tillman, at Lexington, S. C., nearly twenty witnesses having been on the stand, some of whom were subjected to lengthy examinations. In addition to this, the reading of the editorials in The State was concluded. The state has progressed rapidly toward the conclusion of its side of the case. The most important testimony of the day was that given by Senator Talbird, who was with Tillman at the time the tragedy was enacted. Savannah Tribune. AFTER THE LOAN SHARKS. Atlanta, Georgia, Chamber of Commerce Upholds Grand Jury in Some Scathing Resolutions. The loan sharks and justice courts and the bailiffs are condemned in as severe terms as dignified language will permit in resolutions unanimously adopted by the board of directors of the Atlanta, Ga. chamber of commerce Tuesday afternoon. The grand jury is urged in the same resolutions to push still further its investigation; good citizens, and especially employers, are urged to bring to the attention of the grand jury persecutions of which they have knowledge; the press is requested to bring; the unfarious practices to the attention of the Georgia legislature, and the representatives from Fulton county are urged to secure such legislation as will stop the abuses. Following is the full text of the resolution unanimously adopted by the board of directors of the chamber: "Resolved, by the directors of the Atlanta chamber of commerce, That the illegal, extortionate and oppressive practices of so-called loan agents, which have been described in the public prints and brought to our attention by members of this chamber, are deserving of the severest condemnation, and all good citizens should aid the grand jury in securing evidence sufficient to convict the guilty parties. We earnestly call upon the grand jury to spare no pains in this important work, for the breaking up of this business means the emancipation, not only of hundreds of the humble poor (including many worthy working women and honest, but unfortunate servants), but of a very considerable number of industrious and promising young men, who,-because of inexperience, have fallen into the clutches of remorseless loan sharks. "So oppressive has this practice become that numerous cases have been cited where men have been driven out of town and their families deprived of support by the persecutions of this class of creditors, and it is not infrequent that an otherwise promising career has been blasted by such practices. "We consider it the duty of all good citizens, and especially of employers who may have knowledge of such facts, to present them to the grand jury without delay, in order that it may make its work thorough, removing this scourge which is afflicting the humble poor of our city. "Resolved further, That where bailiffs, or other officers of court have been guilty of illegal practices in pushing this nefarious business, they should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, and we trust the grand jury will not neglect that feature of the matter. "Resolved further, That if the present law is defective on this subject, we urge the press of this city and the representatives who may be chosen from this county to bring this matter to the attention of the Georgia legislature at its next term and secure legislation as will put a stop to this practice." CONVICT QUESTION ADJUSTED. Members of the Georgia prison commission and county commissioners from the various counties which have applied for felony convicts under the new convict law have agreed on rules and regulations and methods under which the convicts are to be worked. The agreement was reached Tuesday morning after a lengthy conference in Atlanta. There is no longer any dissension, and the report of the committee appointed to confer with the prison commission was unanimously adopted. Both sides made concessions and now everything is harmonious. According to the agreement the counties are allowed to provide their own guards, and designate their own whipping bosses provided the prison commission is notified in writing. The commission further agrees to allow the county to employ any physician they want to if that physician should make a written report of the illness of a convict to the county authorities and the county authorities report in turn to the commission. PLOTS ARE VERY COMMON. Dally Arrests Made in Berlin of Would-Be "King Killers." The department of police in Berlin, Germany, has noted, without astonishment, the several instances recently of danger to the life of President Roosevelt, only wondering that they have been so few. Inquiries show that the arrests of persons suspected of designs against members of the imperial family average one daily in Berlin. The arrests are rarely reported in the newspapers, for the authorities believe that the mere mention of such arrests prompts ill-regulated minds to plan killing of the sovereign. BULGARIANS TURN Long Persecuted, They Strike Blow at Fanatical Turks. TW.O THOUSAND SLAIN Bloody Conflict at Demir Kapla In Which Both Sides Lose Heavily. Twenty Turkish Villages Burned. According to advices received in Salonica, Sunday, twenty Turkish villages in the Razlog district have been burned. The large village of Bonisko is said to have been destroyed, and its 2,000 Turkish inhabitants killed. A cable dispatch from Sofia, Bulgaria, says: Serious news has been received from the frontier of fighting between Turkish and Bulgarian troops at Demir-Kapia, both sides sustaining losses. In official quarters all knowledge of the affair is denied, but the circumstantial details given seem to indicate that there is some foundation for the accounts of the conflict. According to one report, the Turks attacked the Bulgarian frontier post. Another version says the Turks pursued a number of refugees across the frontier. It is asserted that the Turks frequently have attempted to provoke hostilities, firing into Bulgarian territory and crossing the frontier to steal horses and sheep. The war office at Sofia is working at high pressure and 24,000 recruits will be called out. Prince Ferdinand has sanctioned numerous other measures of a warlike nature. All the cavalry, with the exception of a single regiment, which is stationed at Sofia, has been sent into the frontier districts, where are also strong forces of artillery. Vigorous efforts are being made to prevent bands from crossing into Turkish territory. Two bands which were sent back reached Sofia Sunday. Dispatches from the frontier received at the revolutionary headquarters report that the refugees in the mountains are in a terrible condition through their pursuit by the Turks and cold and hunger. Many are dying. Measures are being taken to relieve the worst cases of suffering among the fugitives from the frontier districts. From insurgent sources it is reported that the Bulgarian villages of Oblidit and Kremen have been pillaged and burned. Many of their inhabitants were slanghered. The Bulgarian quarter of Belitza is in flames. Seven hundred refugees from Belitza are reported to have been killed in a Turkish ambuscade near Samakoff, province of Kirk-Kallisse. UNDER NAME OF "JONES." Booker Washington is Traveling Incog Among the Frenchmen. A dispatch from Paris says: Booker T. Washington, head of the Tuskegee (Ala.) institute, who is here, has been besieged by French reporters anxious to obtain and expression of his views on the negro question. In order to escape attention Washington is traveling under the name or "Jones." "I have spent some days in Normandy," Washington said, "where I have been studying agriculture, and what I have seen is remarkable from all points of view. The hairy interests particularly attracted my attention." Washington declined to speak to the French press representatives regarding his entertainment by President Roosevelt. Physician Called and Trial is Temporarily Postponed. Martin Sharp, one of the jurors in the case of J. H. Tillman, was indisposed Sunday and was visited by a physician, who treated him for bilious fever. His case is not regarded as serious, and another day will-intervene before the trial will be resumed. MANGLED IN COLLISION. Four Railroad Laborers Meet Death In Accident on Southern Pacific. Four railroad laborers were killed Monday and thirteen were injured, two of them probably fatally, in a collision between a work train and two cars loaded with iron that were standing on the track at the southern end of Chatsworth Yard tunnel, on the Southern Pacific railroad. District Attorney for Delaware. President Roosevelt Monday appointed John W. Nields United States district attorneys for Delaware. WOMAN DEFAULTER Makes Way With Large Sum of Employers' Cash. ENGAGED IN SPECULATION Amount of Alleged Stealings Aggregates $50,000—U. S. Playing Card Company the Loser—Plan of Operations. Marie Layton Johnson, aged 29 years, the wife of Albert M. Johnson, a dentist of Larchmont, N. Y., with an office in New York city, was arrested on a warrant specifically charging her with the grand larceny of $2,000. The total amount of her defalcations, however, may, it is said, amount to $50,000. The complainants are officers of the United States Playing Card Company, with home offices in Cincinnati, and a New York branch. Mrs. Johnson, whose maiden name was Marle Layton, was bookkeeper in the New York office, and in addition acted as private secretary to Manager R. H. McCutcheon. She was married to Dr. Johnson in 1901, but did not leave her position after the marriage. In April of this year discrepancies are said to have been discovered in her accounts, according to the statements given out by Inspector McClusky, and an examination is said to have revealed a shortage of $10,000. The woman's modus operandi is said to have been as follows: The accounts of the concern were kept in the Hanover national bank, there being a New York and Cincinnati account there. Cincinnati would send a bill of goods to New York which would be sold for $3,000 and that amount would be placed to the credit of the Cincinnati account. But, it is alleged, Mrs. Johnson would charge the New York office account with $5,000, taking the differene herself. To make the account balance she would then raise a mall bill of goods shipped from Cincinnati from say $9 to $2,009. Mrs. Johnson was discharged from the employ of the company in April. Further investigation was made into both the New York and Cincinnati accounts, with the result, it is said, that the defalcations now amount to $33,000, with a possibility that they may reach $50,000. Detectives went to Larchmont Thurs day night to arrest her, out found the Johnson home locked up, and from neighbors it was learned that all the furniture had been packed apparently ready for removal. The detectives then watched Dr. Johnson's office on Fifth avenue, and arrested Mrs. Johnson as she was leaving the place in her husband's company. It is said that Mrs. Johnson speculated in Wall street and most considerable money there. RAILROAD TRACKS TORN UP. Seaboard Air Line Makes War on the B. and B. at Oscilla, Georgia. B. and B. at Oclina, Georgia. Thursday night about 12 o'clock, the Soaboard Air Line Railway Company ran a special train into Oclina, Ga., and a short time afterwards tore up the track of the Brunswick and Birmingham railroad where it crosses the Seaboard tracks. Before the work of removing the crossing was completed a negro notified Chief Engineer Roberts, of the Brunswick and Birmingham, of what was taking palce. Captain Roberts, accompanied by Marshal Hall, hurried to the crossing and succeeded in arresting W. Hale, of Savannah, who is superintendent of that division of the Seaboard. The balance of the crowd escaped at that time, but returned about daylight Friday morning, when twenty-one of them were placed under arrest. Late Friday afternoon the prisoners all waived preliminary hearing and gave bond to appear at the county court to answer to the offense of misdemeanor and to the superior court to answer a felony charge. The Brunswick and Birmingham train from Irwinville to Brunswick crossed on the old Ocella and Irwinville crossing after only a few minutes' delay. All other trains are running on time. HEINOUS DOUBLE CRIME. Boy in Oklahoma Outrages Girl and Then Murders His Victim. Half buried in weeds by the roadside, her throat cut from ear to ear, the body of Mary Trokosh, 13 years old, was discovered Friday near her home in Northern Payne county, Oklahoma, Izey E. Rogers, 17 years old, has confessed that he assaulted the girl, and, afterwards, helped to kill her, because she declared that she would tell her parents. Rogers implicated Frank Quinness and a youth of the name of Malley, now in jail at Stillwater. Rogers is in jail at Perry. VESSEL GOESTO BOTTOM. Ten Passengers and Two of Crew Find Watery Graves—Sunk in Squall on Lake Michigam A special from Marinette, Wis., says: The passenger steamer Erie L. Hackley, of Fish Creek, foundered in Green Bay Saturday night during a hard squall and twelve persons were drowned and seven rescued. The drowned are Joseph Vorous, captain of the Hackley, Truchley, cook of the Hackley, and the following ten passengers: Freeman Thorpe, Edna Barringer, Lawrence Barringer, Francis Vincent, George Vincent, George Le Claire, Jr., N. Fitzsimmons, Henry Rabbititor, Carl Keily, Nels Nelson. Those rescued were Frank Blakefield, purser of the boat; Oran Rowen, engineer; Martin Hansen and a man named Roggendorf, fireman; Martin Olsen and son, passengers of Sister Bay, Malline McSweney. The Erle L. Hackley was a fourteen-crew steamer, which was built at Muskegon in 1852. The Hackley was owned in Fish Creek by Captain Vorous and other residents of that village. The steamer made a trip every other day between Sturgeon Bay and Washington island, going up one day and back the next. The Hackley left Menominee, Mich., late Saturday night and was bound for Fish Creek and Green Bay. At Atlanta, Ga., Saturday night, Policeman Hans Drasbach was stabbed to death by an unknown negro whom he had placed under arrest. The murder occurred in a saloon within half a block of the police barracks. The weapon used was a long dirk. Drasbach staggered to the barracks unaided and fell in a faint. An hour later he died at the Grady hospital without having recovered consciousness. The murderer made his escape. When the negro stabbed the officer the saloon was crowded, and yet when the affair was investigated only one man could be found who said he witnessed the crime. The white men who run the saloon swore they did not see the stabbing and knew nothing about it. Coverel with blood and groaning at every step the policeman walked half a block and no one went to his assistance. Upon reaching the barracks he was placed in a chair and the ambulance was summoned. There came a deathlike pallor over his face and he moaned three or four times: "Oh, my poor wife and my poor little children." Those were the last words he spoke. He was placed on a litter while unconscious and a short while afterwards he had breathed his last and the negro's dagger had done its deadly work. BRITISH FLAG IN BOSTON. Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company Receives Royal Welcome. For the first time in many years the flag of England guarded by British muskets, was borne through the streets of Boston Friday by the Honorable Artillery company, of Lopdon, as special guets of a secular organization, the Ancient and Honorable artillery company of the "Hub." Landing at Charleston, almost on the very spot where their ancestors started on their memorable attack on Bunker Hill, 123 years ago, the redcoats of the twentieth century marched from their steamer, the Mayflower, over the bridge to Boston and through streets resplendent with American and British flags to the hotels—their homes during their sojourn in the city. For five days they will be entertained and then after a week's tour, which will include New York, Washington, Niagara Falls and Canada, they start back to their own shores. Thousands of Allens Arrive. Statistics for September show that 47,852 aliens arrived at Ellis Island, New York, during the month, being an excess over the corresponding month last year of 5,543. October opened with the arrival of 3,013 for the first two days. BRYAN'S DAUGHTER WEDS. Miss Ruth Links Fortunes With W. H. Leavitt, of Newport, R. J. The marriage of Miss Ruth Baird Bryan and William Homer Leavitt, of Newport, R. I., was solenized at Fairview, the country home of William Jennings Bryan, Saturday night. The chancellor of the Nebraska Wesleyan University, Dr. Huntington, was the officiating clergyman. The wedding was extremely unnotentious, and was attended by about 125 young people of Lincoln and more intimate friends of the Bryan family. The only relative of the bride was Mrs. K. Leavitt. Crazy Man, Armed With Pistol, Sought President. FOUGHT WHEN ARRESTED The Combined Efforts of Four Policemen Were Necessary to Finally Subdue Him-As Usual, the A Washington special says: Two desperate cranks were arrested in the residence part of the white house Monday. One was Peter Elliott, a heavily armed Swede, claiming to be from Minnesota, and the other a sailor recently dishonorably discharged from the United States navy. Elliott' mission to the white house was of a hostile nature, for when trapped by the local policemen on duty at the executive mansion, after having eluded the secret service men at the resident's private office adjoining, he made a violent attempt to escape and severely wounded one of the policemen who assisted in his final capture. At the white house an effort was made to suppress the details of the affair, fearing that it might incite others to catch the crank fever, in view of the fact that within less than week five dangerous cranks have been arrested quietly at the white house. Four days ago Elliott sent a letter to the president, demanding an interview. Accompanying the letter was a photograph of the sender. Private Secretary Loeb at once recognized the communication as a "crank effusion," and accordingly turned it over to the secret service guard on duty at the white house. Early Monday morning Elliott appeared at the president's office and attempted to force his way into the president's room. Doorkeeper Leofer said the president was engaged and requested Elliott to wwrite his name on a card. Elliott was too cunning to be caught at that moment, so he hastily took his departure, saying he had not time to write cards. In the meantime the secret service guard had been notified that the man they had been notified to keep a "bright look out" for had been there and gone. An hour later, Ellott went to the president's manison and forced his way by the ushers at the door and demanded an immediate audience with the president. Policeman James Circle and George Parker, two members of the local force detailed for duty at the white house, instantly recognized Ellott as the man they had been ordered to look out for. They politely invited him into the ante room, where Chief Usher Stone makes his headquarters, and there he was closely questioned by those two experienced officers. He at once became desperate and attempted to escape. Reinforcements came to the assistance of the policemen, and the struggling prisoner was hustled down stairs for transportation to the nearest police station. In the meantime a van from the house of detention had been called to the white house instead of the regular patrol wagon to avoid excitement. Fights Desperately. The capture was made so quietly that nothing might have been known of it outside of police circles had not Elliott made a desperate attempt to kill his captors in the van. Although he had been hurriedly searched at the white house and pronounced unarmed, he drew a revolver on the officers in the van, and when that was wrenched from him after a severe struggle, he drew a knife and attempted to carve his way to freedom. The two officers in the van with him succeeded in over powering him, but not until Officer Ciscle had been badly cut in the arm, and Elliott was considerably used up. The prisoner and the wounded officer were taken to the emergency hospital for treatment. Elliott continued his ravings and said he was after revenge and he intended to get it. Populus take on Big Bill. At the convention of the independent people's party, held in New York Monday night, William S. Devery was nominated for mayor. A MILLION-DOLLAR DEPOT. Atlanta Terminal Company Will Exp Limited Term. Orlando Offered. pend Sum Originally Stipulated. According to an Atlanta dispensary, the entire sum originally set aside to be used in the erection of a depot and shed and making other improvements will be spent Considerable dissatisfaction was expressed when it was known that the depot proper would cost only $550,000. It is possible that new birds may be called for on the road, but in the case of the depot building the money will be spent on the construction of the depot. The Savannah Tribune. PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY, BY THE TRIBUNE PUBLISHING CO 116 W. St. Julian Street. With this issue THE TRIBUNE enters its nineteenth year. These have been ceaseless years of earnest endeavors for race improvement. In this direction much encouragement has been received, and along these lines, the campaign will be continued. THE TRIBUNE has not only been insisting on members of the race acquiring property, save their earnings, go into business of some kind, give employment to the boys and girls and patronize their own business, but its management has in many of these things not only preached, but practiced. THE TRIBUNE gives steady employment to several members of the race. Its managers are tax payers and voters and connected with several corporations whose objects are for the betterment of the race. By these things our readers can readily see that we stand for the race not only by words, but by deeds. We have on our books the names of patrons who were there from the inception of the business, and who have ever been loyal to its support. To these patrons and the hundreds of others who have been so kind, we extend our gratitude. RECENTLY a number of our people have erected very commodious homes. More of them are projected. These things are what go to make our people powerful and cause them to become useful citizens. The recent organization of a few colored men in Brooklyn has only shown us up as being a class of agitators. The organization was inaugurated through jealousy and opposition to the Afro-American League and proves further than anything else one of the main weaknesses of our race. If our good people want to become really disgusted, they should stand near the theatre entrance any night when there is a play or at the matinee, and see the horde of well dressed young women and some men, who are void of pride, climbing up the winding way to the peanut gallery. We are informed that some of the frequenters of the theatre's peanut gallery "cursed us out" on account of the drubbing given in these columns last week. We can stand such talk from those who have so little race pride and respect for themselves as to accept such inferior accommodation. It is not too soon for the party leaders to commence organizing to bring out the voters next year. This is the time of the year to pay poll tax and tax payers in every county should be urged to qualify themselves. The young men who have just become of age should be told what to do to qualify themselves. THE earth is intended for man, says the Colored Citizen, and a true man turned loose will be of value to society, whether he be a man on a farm or a man at the desk or a man in the legislative halls, what the world always needs is a man, of noble purpose, a man of noble heart, a man able to translate the nobility of his soul into living acts. Color and race are accidents but truth and right are eternal principles and in the final wind-up, truth and right count; the color of the actor will not be considered, his deeds will tell. ABOUND Market Square and in fact any public thoroughfare can be seen a number of the aged of our people, many of them in abject poverty. To have these people roaming promiscuously around the streets begging alms, is a reflection upon the race. These unfortunate ones should be given a proper home and cared for. At present there is a home where a few old folks are cared for, but it is not adequate to the demand. The managers of this home should be aided so that they can enlarge their building and thereby give accommodation to more unfortunate ones. While on this line we may speak of the increasing number of boys and girls without parents and some with parents who care nothing for their welfare. These boys and girls are allowed to roam the streets, get into all manner of mischief and thereby making the future criminal class. Some place should also be provided for these boys and girls and thereby saving them while there is a chance to do so. The churches can do no better than, in combining their efforts in establishing and maintaining an orphanage in this county. We can expect but slight moral improvement until many of our homes are made better and these boys and girls properly cared for. The attention of the business men is called to the methods of the small money lenders of the city. They are doing more harm to the poor people and merchants than any other agency. It is known that people will borrow money and at times they are so anxious for it that they accept any term that is offered. This is when the money sharks get in their work. They charge in a round-about way interest at times that amounts to an exhorbitant figure, and when the poor victim fails to meet the payments promptly, his household effects are carted to some Magistrate's office and there disposed off for a song. In many instances these articles are bought from some merchant on the installment plan and are not paid for. This is one of the ways in which the merchants suffer; another is when the victims owe the merchants they are hounded so much by the money sharks that it takes all the money that they can get to meet the usurious payments, thus disappointing the merchants. It is needless to say that this system should be broken up; it would be the emancipation of the poorer class of people. The officials of other cities are taking up the fight against it, and it behooves our business men and officers to do something. THE "talk of the town". for the past week was the rumored disbandment of several of the colored military companies in the state. It has been officially announced that the Georgia Artillery, the only Negro artillery in the United States, will be disbanded. The cause of the disbandment is placed to inefficiency. The artillery is composed of hard working men, many of them have been connected with the company for the past twenty-five years and have spent hundreds of dollars for its maintenance. Their zeal for the perpetuation of the company known only by those who have been in close touch with them. After years of labor and much expense to these men it would be quite a blow to them to have this company disbanded. At the recent inspection, out of a membership of fifty-three men, the largest number permitted by law, there were forty-eight present, a showing surpassed by by a few companies. It was reported by those who witnessed the drill that the company did well. From the above showing the announcement of the disbandment of the company comes as a surprise to everybody. Of course this announcement is not final because it has to be passed upon by the advisory board and the governor. The hope is expressed that the report of the Inspector General will not be approved, and have retained to the colored citizens a branch of the military that they are all proud of. College Dots The College open on Wednesday under bright auspices. Prior to the opening Prof. Pearson was besieged with applicants for admission. Two hundred students are enrolled in the College department and ninety in the training school. All teachers were at their post except the instructor in mathematics. At the informal opening President Wright made an address to the students urging them to make the best possible use of their opportunities. Splendid weather was had for the opening day. Hawkinsville News. I thought I would write you some thing from Hawkinsville as you possibly have not heard from our little city in some time. Every thing seem to be moving smoothly. There have been application made for a charter to run an electric line from Hawkinsville to Grovania. If carried into effect it will be a great convenience to the traveling public. A colored farmers institute was organized in Hawkinsville last Saturday. Mr. J. Robinson of Macon is making arrangements to have the Grand Chapter, R. A.

IIE incident which marks the beginning of the present narrative occurred several years ago, when the steamboat Ben Lewis exploded in sight of Cairo. Mour was able to make, and he succeeded in beaching his float upon the sand, where he found himself in an exhausted condition, and his burdensome companion quite dead. He did not wait long to recover his She was, if I remember rightly, a St. Louis and Memphis packet, was on her down trip, and was rounding or crossing the bar at the mouth of the Ohio, when her batter burst, and she was a wreck. Many people were killed outright by the explosion, others were drowned, others lingered in terrible torture until death put an end to their sufferings, and others received severe scalds and various injuries. I was in Cairo at the time, and shall never forget the heartbreaking scene at the St. Charles Hotel, to which most of the wounded were brought, and where they lay on pallets in the rooms and hall, many of them black as negroes, many with the skin falling from the flesh. But it is with name of those I have to do. This narrative follows the fortunes of a man who jumped overboard, entirely uninjured, preferring to truss himself to the river rather than to the flames. I choose, for reasons that are personal to him, to call him John I. Seymour, simply because this name is as different as can be from that which rightfully belonged to him. He was originally from Kingston, Canada, his parents being of English birth, but had resided during several years in Alton, Ill., where he had accumulated considerable money in the grocery business; was a bachelor, near forty years of age, and kept house in a cottage of his own, with a rather pretty German girl to do the housework. The mysterious disappearance of the German girl, for which Seymour did not account satisfactorily, occasioned unpleasant comment, and some very serious facts were about to be brought to light, when he suddenly left Alton, having privately disposed of his cottage and his business. It was because of this train of circumstances that he happened to be a passenger on the Bench in the time of the war. At the time of the explosion, Seymour jumped overboard, as I have stated, and was fortunate enough, when he got clear of those who were struggling in the water, to find a foaming door, which he seized, and which bore him up well, and thus he drifted down the river. He had not flatted far when he discovered that he had a companion. This companion was holding to the door and might have put in an appearance just then, or might not hitherto have been visible to Seymour. As his face was upraised, Seymour perceived that it had been fearfully scalded. He was unable to speak and appeared to be nearly exhausted. Yet, although he was so hideous, so horribly marred and scarred, Seymour could not help observing in his countenance a certain resemblance to himself. It was then that a strange and sadion thought came into his mind. I am not recording his impressions by means of the imagination, but derive them from statements which he subsequently made. He recalled the fact that he had been obliged to leave Alton because of discoveries that were about to be made, and because of a crime with which he was about to be charged. It was highly probable that he might not be punished and prosecuted. Suppose he should cause himself to disappear? Suppose that he should so use the explosion that it would prove a providential interposition to save him from punishment and annoyance? His companion in the water, disfigured as he was, might easily be mistaken for him in death, and it was evident that he could not live long. Seymour reflected that he were upon a fencer of his left hand a peculiar and valuable diamond ring, which was well known in Atton, and which had been noticed and admired by many on the boat. If that ring should be found upon a disfigured body, it would settle the question of identity, and he could well afford to give it for the purpose of persuading the public that he was dead. His resolution taken, he watched his hideous but valuable companion narrowly, waiting for his death; but they drifted for nearly half an hour, and still the other clung to the door. But his strength was failing all the while, and attast Seymour saw his grasp relax, and then he' was gone. He was not permitted to sink; he was too valuable to be lost. Seymour ledged him, took a handkerchief from his pocket, and made the body fast to a latch that remained on the door. Then his desire was to reach the land, and he tried, by swimming, to push his float in the direction of the Missouri shore, but made little progress in that endeavor. Columbus was passed in the course of time, and the low shore of Wolf Island became visible. This was a landing which Seymour Heart, why beatest thou so faintly? Is the bed of sickness rure?

By Carl Brant. mour was able to make, and he succeeded in beaching his float upon the sand, where he found himself in an exhausted condition, and his burden-some companion quite dead. He did not wait long to recover his strength, but soon proceeded to "business." Removing the ring from his finger, he placed it from a similar finger of the dead man's hand. Then he felt in his pockets, to see if there were anything there by which he might be identified. Finding nothing he took from his pocket some wetted cards bearing his address, and transferred them to a vext pocket of the other. Finally he dragged the body a little way up on the sand, obliterated the footmarks, and his task was done. His next object was to reach the mainland, and he succeeded. In pushing his float over to the Kentucky shore, where he was cared for and hospitably entertained, as a survivor of the great steamboat disaster. His money and securities were on his person, wet but unmuffated, and he had lost nothing but his trunk and his ring. Thus he pressed out of the world as John H. Seymour, re-entering it as Benjamin Sinnott, and read with satisfaction the advertisement for his body and its final discovery and burial. There was one fact, however, which should have been published, but which did not appear in any newspaper account which came under his notice. Nothing was said about his valuable and noticeable ring, and this omission was quite perplexing to Sinnott, alias Seymour. This mystery I proceed to solve by explaining that the body on the island was first discovered by a man named Wilson Replette, who had been searching with a shift for voles of the disaster. He also, had seen a description of Seymour, and had recognized the man on the island by the ring on his left hand. His empathy being too strong for his conscience, he possessed himself of the ring, and left the body where he had found it. It was afterward discovered by others, and buried as the body of John H. Seymour. Not long after the Ben Lewis disaster, news came to Canada of the death of an uncle of the supposed dead man, in England. This uncle had been a well-to-dome-chant, and his property descended to John H. Seymour and his elder brother, David. Their parents being dead. David Seymour was a man of remarkable honesty in purpose and in action. As soon as he learned of this unexpected windfall, his first thought was to find his brother, of whom he had heard nothing during many years, and, secret to him that portion of the property which was rightfully his. Accordingly, he advertised in a number of newspapers in Canada and the States, telling John H. Seymour that he would hear of something to his advantage by communicating with his brother David, at Kingston, and requesting all who might be possessed of any information concerning him to send it to that address. This notice came under the eye of a gentleman who had known John H. Seymour in Alton, and he wrote to David, informing him that his brother was supposed to have perished in a steamboat disaster on the Mississippi. Further inquiry brought out the particulars of the explosion of the Ben Lewis and of the discovery and burial of what was believed to be the body of John H. Seymour. The evidence to this effect was so convincing that David Seymour was compelled to believe that his brother was dead, and was preparing to use his share of the property as his own, when a claimant put in an appearance, representing himself to be John H. Seymour, who was supposed to be lost. In pursuance of my purpose not to allow my readers to be mystified, although this phase of the case might be "worked up" in a sensational manner, I proceed to state that this claimant was no other than Wilson Replatte, of Kentucky, who had taken the ring from the dead hand of the supposed Seymour. David Seymour's advertisement came under his notice, and he saw his way pretty clearly into stepping into a fortune. He had been a careful reader of all the newspaper literature in connection with the Ben Lewis disaster, and was aware that John H. Seymour's peculiar and valuable ring was a very important element in the question of his identification, as its absence from the body created a doubt as to whether John H. Seymour had really died and been buried. It is not, at all surprising that he turned his steps toward Canada, with the view of personating John H. Seymour and claiming his share of the property of the English uncle. First, however, he went to Alton to learn something about the life and character of the man whom he was to represent. He prosecuted his inquiries so as not to excite suspicion, and when he had gained such information as would suit his purpose, went to Kingston and presented himself to David Seymour as his long-lost brother. David failed to recognize him, as was libt surprising after so long a separation, and called for his proofs of identity. He replete was prepared with these, and showed the ring, upon which he chiefly relied to sustain his cause, with newspaper slips describing it minutely, among other distinguishing marks upon the persons of people who were missing after the explosion of the Ben Lewis. He also had a great deql to relate concerning his life in Illinois, and his experiences in connection with the exploded steamer, but gave no information about the years he had passed in Canada, or about his parents, relatives or friends. This he accounted for by saying that a severe attack of fever, during his residence in Illinois, which had nearly carried him, to his grave, had also entirely destroyed all memory of his former life. David Seymour was almost, but not quite, convinced that this man was really his brother. Before acknowledging him as such, however, he consented, in deference to the advice of his lawyer, to write to Alton, requesting some of the former acquaintances of John H. Seymour to come on to Kingston and identify him. Some men came to Kingston from Illinois in answer to this request, but not the men expected. They were detective officers, provided with a requisition from the Governor of Illinois, for the arrest of John II. Seymour on a criminal charge. As this requisition was of no effect in Canada, they decoyed Replette across the river into New York, where he was arrested and taken to Illinois. When David Seymour discovered that the man whom he almost believed to be his brother had been kidnapped and carried away, he was highly indignant. He hastened to write to the lawyer at Alton, with whom he had previously communicated, and was getting ready to go to Illinois, when he was confronted by another claimant to the property which his uncle had left. This was no other man than John II, Seymour himself. He had been living in Tennessee under the name of Sunnoft, and he, as well as Reptile, had kept up with the current literature of the Ben Lewis disaster. David Seymour's advertisement had luckily come under his notice, and he saw no reason why he should not go and take possession of his property. Canada was not the United States, and he did not suppose that any search would be made for him, as he was believed to be dead. He went to Kingston, accordingly, and presented himself to his brother, who did not recognize him, as it was so long since they had met, and who told him of the claimant who had lately appeared, wearing the rince that had belonged to John H. Seymour. The real John H. had no means of identifying himself, except by bringing to the remembrance of his brother scenes and incidents, and words in connection with their early life which were known only to themselves. This process was successful after a while, the relationship being admitted by David Seymour, and the proof being satisfactory even to his lawyers. As for Reptile, it was soon discovered at Alton that he was not the man he had represented himself to be, and he was set at liberty. He hastened to Kingstown, but a letter from Alton had reached David Seymour previous to his arrival, and he only experienced a loss, in being forced to give up to John H. Seymour the ring which had played such a prominent part in this little drama. The Seymours went to England, where they received and divided their property, and where John H. is still living, in spite of extradition laws. I might have worked up these Incidents into a sensational story, but the plain narrative of facts is sufficiently singular to suit my purpose.—New York Weekly. Kevin That Hanged Itself Robin That Hanged itself. Do birds commit suicide? It would seem from circumstantial evidence that they do. Recently while passing a large sycamore tree in the State university grounds, says a writer in Forest and Stream, I happened by some chance to look up into the tree, and there I saw a robin about twenty feet from the ground hanging to a string by the neck. Each end of the string was wrapped around limbs about eighteen inches apart, and the middle was wound around the robin's neck, so that it was hanging about midway between the two limbs. I at first thought it was dead, but while looking at it I saw its wings move, when I rushed into the buildings, got a ladder and soon had it rescued. Its life was nearly gone, but after a little while it received and flew away. A partly built nest in the tree would indicate that it was carrying a string to put in with its building material, and in some way became entangled in the string with the above result. The Railway a Peacemaker The Railway a Peacemaker. For preserving the peace in a partly civilized country a railway, according to a famous statesman, is worth more than an army corps. Although the railways which are building from Hulfa to Damascus, in Palestine, and from Damascus southward toward Mecca, are primarily for military purposes, they will open up a country which was prosperous and fertile 2000 years ago, but has since become one of the waste places of the earth. They are already using American harvesting machinery on the plains of Jezreel. When the proposed railways are finished there will be a demand for the accompanying modern agricultural machines.

Her philosophers were of the greatest. Her sculptors and architects are still unsurpassed. The genius of her pre-Christian sons shines forth as strong to-day as when they lived. The whole atmosphere of old Greece was one of truth and beauty. Her temples, works of art, drama, philosophical conceptions were all the greatest which the world has yet produced. M Now all is changed. Greece is one of the weakest and most unprogressive of the nations. She has no philosophers, no makers of art. Her leadership is gone, and forever. Why this change?

The Value of an Independent Man. By Herbert N. Casson. OW it may be in the other nations of the world I do not know, but it certainly is a fact that there is nothing more lacking in the United States than independence? H In spite of the Declaration of Independence, which is becoming mythical, the average American has become an entirely dependent and sysphantic creature, who not only conforms in every respect to the opinions of the stupid majority, but deliberately tries to make himself the chattel of his neighbors.

The Artistic Te By George Harvey. There are many religious sects in the United States, but no one ever hears of controversies between them on matters of belief. The only struggle in which they take any interest is that for more members, more money and more property. There are many colleges, but not one has ever dared to hold an exhibition of its finished products. At all the large colleges it is the independent professor who is in danger of being discharged. It is the tiniest and non-committal professor who has a life job. The ideal of all our universities is not the development of a nobler brand of men and women, but the manufacture of a greater number of the present inferior sort. In fact, in this Mutual Slavery Association which we call society, if a man appears who is truly independent, who swings on his own pivot and cares nothing for the crowd, every one at once believes that his course of action is a scheme out of which more money can be made than by conformity. It is becoming my strongest conviction that all the plans of social reform, all the cooperation of world-menders, would do less to establish industrial justice and to promote moral and intellectual improvement than would a few score of independent and fearless men or women who would stand out like giants amid the $80,000,000 human grasshoppers that populate this country. —New York Evening Journal. OMEBODY has recently raised the question as to whether the old-style doctor, with his queer, curt, stern manner, has really disappeared, or is merely superseded by a spirit of the same type who has learned to be politic among those of his patients from whom he may expect a good consideration for his services. Without going too deeply into particularities, it seems to us that the ethics of the profession have not merely improved, but have actually regenerated. The artistic temperament can belong to a man of genius, but this is exceptionally the case, and nowhere more so than in the medical profession. S Of true geniuses in medicine there have been not a few, and by no means have all of these attained the distinction and received the honor of a Harvey or a Jenner, however worthy; but, like great men, everywhere, they were characterized by that unobtrusiveness, that altruism, that lack of pretense, which demands no praise and has need of none. Such, by their modesty and sympathy for the weaknesses of mankind, have made the world a more habitable place and have set aloft noble ideals for future generations. and by no means have all of these atta- h honor of a Harvey or a Jenner, however where, they were characterized by that lack of pretense, which demands no pa- r their modesty and sympathy for the we world a more habitable place and has generations.

Of such are the obstreperous and pretentious quacks who demand for themselves undeserved encomiums, and in matters involving standards of taste are absolutely incompetent. "Art for art's sake" forms no part of their creed, while selfishness and avarice produce the inevitable result—viz., a perfect lack of sympathy for the foibles of humanity and that disobedience to every mandate of conscience which only the absolutely bigoted and unscrupulous can show. The eccentric may be defined as an individual of average ability who derives his chief inspiration from his own self-glory. Consequently, he is entirely a self-centred person whose love of the conspicuous is manifest in shaggy hair and English trousers of the greatest possible width and most impossible pattern. Whether there be such who practice the healing art or not we do not know, but, in any case, the delusion as to his greatness is harmless enough, and so easily diagnosticated as to be unworthy of serious attention. The Old School seldom produced the scholar, and almost never produced the refined gentleman, and in this lies its chief distinction from that of to-day. Its disciples were brusque, sometimes hoorish, and often abrupt to the point of trult, yet beneath it all lay the kindly spirit and the generosity begot by a life spent in the service of mankind. Some of us can remember the country doctor of long ago who, summoned at midnight to a severe case of pneumonia, let us say, would ride a dozen miles through mud and slush, upbraid his patient most unceremoniously, and then proceed to give the minutest directions to the attendants, with a parting word to "send for me again if he gets worse." But times have changed. The New School demands the best—men liberally educated in our universities, who can combine absolute firmness with unequivocal politeness. The polished gentleman is coming into the ranks, and there is less occasion for the artistic temperament in medicine to-day than ever before. The entire question is one of encouragement in idiosyncrasy and of ignorance in matters of taste—Harmor Weekly. HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS TO RESTORE POLISH. Four tablespoonfuls of turpentine; four of sweet oil, one of lemon juice and ten drops of ammonia make a fine dressing to restore the polish of old mahogany. It should be shaken thoroughly before using and applied with a soft cloth. CLEARING SILVER The following plan generally proves efficacious for cleaning silver that has been out of use for some time and become discolored. Dip a cloth in sweet oil first, and then in prepared chalk or whiting. Rub the silver with this until the stains disappear, and then polish it with dry whiting, giving it a final rub with a clean chamois leather. HOUSEHOLD ECONOMY. "Economy," remarks the resourceful Jerome, "is not buying what you want when you want it, in order that you may buy what you don't want when you have no earthly use for it." This aptly characterizes the state of being in many households. That a plaque or a plaster image may be purchased the supply of needles is allowed to reach the minimum of a broken one, plus have to be hunted for in unsweet corners, cord and tape are luxuries! Anybody knows that a house without "medium black silk," "No. 60 cotton" and a generous supply of "No. 85" is in reality an abode of squail and utter misery. USEFUL BORAX In the laundry borax has long been used and appreciated, but within the last few years it has been prepared according to such modern and scientific processes that now no one who delights in the fine dressing of linen should be without it. Borax produces the desired gloss, prevents the iron from sticking, and finally proves a source of economy both in the wear of the linen and in the labor spent on the ironing. Moderate pressure and ordinary skill will achieve equally good results. There is also no limit to the softening influence of borax, hence the desirability of having it in every bathroom and on every toilet table where only hard water is obtainable. Borax will be found useful in every laundry, where it aids and hastens the results achieved by good soap—Brooklyn Eagle. COLLAPSIBLE FURNITURE. Collapsible and transmutable furniture is the most desirable kind that can be offered to the denizen of cities in these days, and, though much of it is of doubtful utility, much has come to be absolutely indispensable to the flat dweller. The trunk which, when empty, can be made to do duty as a bureau or writing table, appears to be a fascinating piece of furniture, and if it is as represented it will be eagerly sought after by the occupants of hall bedrooms and tiny flats. Baby fixtures, such as cribs and carages, which can be folded up or turned into something else when not in use, have obvious advantages in homes where it is difficult to find room for children, and a table which has a best dress for cardes and tea and an everyday surface for the pressing of skirts and trousers and similar necessary and boring occupations needs no recommendation.—New York Tribune. RECIPES Tomato Salad—Scald whole tomatoes, peel them, put on ice until cold; make a mayonnaise dressing; have small lettuce leaves in water; when ready to serve drain them and dry in a towel; arrange on a platter; cut the tomatoes in halves, crosswise; rest each half on a lettuce leaf; sprinkle with salt and pour over a little vinegar and put one tablespoon of mayonnaise on top of each. Coffee Caramels-In an agate saucepan put one pound of brown sugar, one cupful of strong coffee, one tablespoonful of butter and one-half of a cupful of cream. Boll together without stirring until a little dropped in cold water is quite brittle. Pour into greased pans and when cooled, mark off in squares with a knife. If desired grainy stir for a moment until the candy looks cloudy, then pour out quickly. Chocolate Cream-Mix five level teaspoonfuls of cornstarch, half a cup of sugar and a pinch of salt; rub it smooth in one-third cup of milk; add it to two cupfuls of scalded milk; stir and cook over hot water ten minutes; melt one and a half squares of chocolate; add three tablespoonfuls of hot water to it and add it to the cornstarch mixture; stir until smooth; add the whites of two eggs beaten stiff and one teaspoon of vanilla; turn into a mould, put on ice and serve with cream. Stewed Watercress—Trim off the coarse ends of the cress, wash it well through several waters and then throw into a saucepan of boiling salted water, cook until just tender, but not too long. Drain and press out all the water. Melt two ounces of butter in a saucepan, add the cress, sprinkle with a little flour, stir carefully over the fire for ten minutes; then pour in a cup of good broth, season with a little grated nutmeg, salt and pepper; boil ten minutes-longer, stirring constantly. Turn into hot dish, garnish with croutons of fried bread and lard. boiled eggs sliced or cut in halves. The Savannah Tribune SATURDAY OCTOBER 10, 1903. Mr. F. M. Cohen is on the sick list. Mrs. T. D.

Its great reflector, that from a point a hundred feet above the sea casts its A guiding rays to cat-boat and Cunarder alike, was obscured by snow one fateful night, and in the strange irony of Nature's Ways a storm struck that part of the coast with the greatest violence of all. With deepening night it raged down the coast, snapped anchor-chains and hurled craft upon the shore or bolted them outright and later spat their bones upon the beach. Like a mighty ghost the pilot-boat Columbia rushed in through the surf and split a fisherman's cottage in twain. Next the storm lifted up a schooner and dropped her upon Toddy Rocks, and made kindling wood of her and corpses of her crew of elght, and then piled a coal barge upon those selfsame "Rocks," and in a few minutes there was no evidence that it had struck at all. Surfman Tobin, patrolling the beach was compelled to crawl on hands and knees against the wind, and once was blown into a pond to the lea of the strip of beach on which he was walking. Through the terrifying night the Point Allerton crew patrolled the beach, and when daylight broke, commanded by Keeper James, they went to the rescue of a schooner that was driven ashore one and one-half miles to the north of their station. For several hours they worked, and brought every man ashore, then hauled their heavy apparatus home, and just as they reached it, almost exhausted, were notified of the wreck of a coal-barge on the rocks a mile down the shore. They set out at once for the scene of this new horror, and reached it just in time to save the crew of five men, who were struggling in the furious surf. With no thought of self, the life-savers plunged in through the breakers, and bore their burdens through snow-drifts to higher shore. Daylight was failing when the crew reached their quarters again. They had worked in the water continuously for twelve hours, but at the first suggestion of dawn they were off again to renew the flight. A ship was ashore beyond Lighthouse Island, and might go to pieces at any moment. The snow-charged gale still roared, and the spray that dashed into the air was ice before it struck the earth. A tug that had attempted to tow the surf-boat to the island was compelled to cut loose a fourth of a mile away. But the crew seized their cars, determined to do or die. With splendid strokes they sent their boat into the swirling surf. The breakers dashed at her and lashed her and enveloped her with spray, but she weathered it all. On a small portion of the wreck they found five of the crew crouching in the lea of a broken bulwark, and in the centre of the group a dead man lay. With a load of the living, half alive and dead the life-savers pulled for shore. Once in their snug quarters, they cut the boots from the sailors' frozen feet, and ministered to their bruised and wounded bodies. Before this work of mercy was complete, word was received that three men had been marooned on Black Rock by the storm. Now, Black Rock was six miles down the coast and a third of a mile from shore. A six-miles' tramp through sand and snow with a heavy apparatus, and another perilous dash through the surf, was a not very encouraging outlook. After an incredibly fatiguing journey the party halted at a point a mile to windward of the shipwrecked men. The boat was skillfully launched, and the surfers pulled for Black Rock. There the sea was running high and breaking dangerously. For an hour they lay to, tossing idly; then a break occurred, and in a twinkling the veteran commander seized the chance the storm had given, and rushed his boat through the breakers. Quick as a wink the three shivering sailors were snatched aboard, and the boat pushed back into safe water. That night the veteran keeper said of the work of thirty-six hours. "We succeeded in getting every man that was alive at the time we started for him."—Woman's Home Companion. HEROIC PATIENCE. An instance which shows the unflagging pertinacity and heroic patience with which men fight the sea was that in which the schooner Ireland went ashore. She struck on the Dog Fish bar in the "midnight and the snow," and for twenty hours Keeper Hayman and crew of the Gay Head Station worked without food or rest to rescue her crew. The masts of the vessel could just be made out as she lay broadside on about six hundred yards off the coast. Although the surf was somewhat broken by the outlying shoal, the wind blew with such velocity as to prove an almost insurmountable obstacle to the launching of the boat. Time and again they shoved the boat into the water, some of the men wading in up to their arm-pits, but they could not drive it against the gale—a new experience to men who had never known defeat. Again they tried it, and again they were blown back; then, to make their helplessness the more emphatic, a second large vessel was dashed upon the bar less than a hundred feet away from the other. Resolutely they picked up the boat, determined to run it through the surf, when a gust of wind stronger than the rest smote it from their grasp, and hurled it into a pool of water two hundred feet away. Then the life-lining was tried—a No. 5 shot. the smallest—but it might as well have been a pop-gun against that gale. The second vessel to strike had immediately gone to pieces, and the dawn revealed no vestige of her. Alternately through the night they attempted to communicate with gun or boat, and daylight found them baffled, but not disheartened. A No. 7 shot on six ounces of powder flashed from the gun, but met the gale, and fell into the sea far short of the wreck. Then through the day they fought to put the boat beyond the surf. It was a rush and a retreat, then a breathing spell and another rush, the men's determination growing with the fight. They had never been "licked," and they never would be "licked." When the wind wrenched their boat from them and threw her upon the beach, they waited for a full, then picked her up and rushed again. Now the day was waning. For twenty hours they had to toll without food or rest, and the physical strain was telling upon them severely. When at last eight stout men rushed the life船 safely through the surf and leaped aboard, they gave a mighty cheer, unmindful that their clothes were frozen like boards upon their bodies. They took six living men from the wreck, and left one dead man hanging in the rigging.—Woman's Home Companion. A MARVELOUS FEAT Who can imagine a more deliberate and cold-blooded litter of heroisim than that performed by Keeper W. W. Griesser, of the Buffalo Life Saving Station, who is the teeth of an eighty-mile November gale swam out in the icy waters of Buffalo harbor to rescue a man who was clinging to some piling 500 feet from shore? At times the seas broke over the man so deeply that he was lost from sight, and it was evident that in that awful weather he would soon succumb and go to the bottom. Greisser saw him, and knowing that it would be useless to attempt to launch a boat, determined to swim to him with a line. As he plunged into the lake the mighty surf caught him and flung him stunned upon the beach; but he was up and in again, and this time gained the water beyond the breakers. It took half an hour for Griesser to swim 200 feet against the storm; then, coming to an old pile, he wrapped his arms and legs about it and rested for a few moments. The cold was intense, and his clothes were frozen to him when he let go and slid into the water; again to resume his journey. At times he had to dive through the great combs to avoid being buffeted back to shore, and three times a floating telegraph pole struck him on the back with crushing force, once almost rendering him unconscious. But he fought it out with incredible courage, and at the end of an hour was near enough to throw the line to the poor fellow, who was pitifully crying for help. The half-frozen wretch had only enough strength left to tie the line about his wrist, and then drop into the water. At that instant a wave caught and fouled the line about the piling, and hurled Griesser back a hundred feet toward the beach. Exhausted, but not dismayed or beaten, he made renewed efforts to regain lost ground, and at the end of another half hour had reached the man again, cleared the fouled line and given the signal to the people on shore to haul in. In transmitting the gold medal which Congress had awarded to Griesser for heroism, the Secretary of the Treasury said: "It would seem incredible but for indisputable evidence that you performed the morvulous feat, which was, indeed, effected only at the extreme peril of your life." FIERCE FIGHT WITH A HAWK. FIERCE FIGHT WITH A HAWK After a fierce fight with an immense white hawk Robert Dalrymple, of Centro Grove, N. J., managed to subdue the bird, and now has it In captivity in a pen on his place. Robert, however, is carrying a badly wounded arm around in a sling and also has his head wrapped up in bandages. A white hawk is something of an ornithological curiosity, which is the reason that young Dalrymple was so anxious to capture this specimen, which had been flying around his farm all year. He noticed where the bird often came to earth and in that place set a large steel trap which was fastened to a stake driven into the ground. The hawk was caught in the trap but made a fierce fight for liberty, pulling up the stake and trying to fly away with the trap, which proved too heavy for it, although it lifted it several feet off the ground in its attempt to escape. When young Dalrymple tried to capture it there ensued a fight which lasted for some time. At last young Dalrymple clubbed the bird, over the head, finally subduing it. Several bird fencers have offered Dalrymple twenty to fifty dollars for the bird, but he refuses to sell. $5000 FOR WARTIME RESCUE. Daniel Prime, of Easton, Pa., a colored man, has received a letter from Charles Smith, an attorney of Jackson, Mich., saying that he is a legatee to the amount of $6000 under the will of Jonathan Moore, of that city. The letter explained why the bequest had been made. In the Civil War Prime was a sergeant in Company H. Fifty-fourth (colored) Massachusetts Regiment. Jonathan Moore was a First-Lieutenant in the Eleventh Michigan. Lieutenant Moore was wounded in the leg in a charge. Prime saw him fall, took off his blouse and wrapped it around the leg to stop the flow of blood, and then carried the lieutenant to the rear. The men never met again, but Moore learned the name of his rescuer. Mr. Moore was a manufacturer of furniture.

A Squire, of Andover, once hired a brother of Patrick, who was in his employ.

Too Small for Its Age. A gentleman who had employed an old colored carpenter to do a piece of rather delicate cabinet work for him was pleased beyond his expectations with the result. Wishing to show his satisfaction, he after paying the price the old man asked—took from the sideboard a bottle of extraordinarily fine whiskey that had just been sent him and poured a little into a glass. "Uncle," he inquired, "have you ever tasted whiskey fifty years old?" "No, sah, I never has," replied the old darky, his voice trembling with anticipation. "Well, try that, then," said his employer, handing him the glass, "and tell me what you think of it." The old fellow received it reverently, took one sip, and raised his eyes in ecstasy. "Oh, sah! dat am shoły de fnes" bov'rağ dis chile evah taste. But," with an anxious glance at the, very slight quantity in the glass, "don't you ting, sah, it am jus' a little small for its age!" It is, perhaps, needless to add that gentle criticism had the desired effect. —October Lippincott's.
