WAR CLOUD HANGS No Rift Appears in Russo- Jap Korea Embroglio. Advices from Yokohama, Japan, Say: The announcement by M. Lessar, the Russian minister to China, that the Manchurian convention between Russia and China has lapsed, is received with ridicule. Dispatches from Che Foo report that a Russian war ship and a transport with 500 troops left Port Arthur October 4 for Korea. Sixty Japanese civilians left Port Arthur October 10 for Nagasaki. The Russian forces at New Chwang are reported to have increased. Great Britain Behind Japan. A dispatch from Shanghai to The Frankfurter Zeitung (Berlin) states that news has reached there from Che Foo to the effect that the Japanese have occupied Ma-Sa-Pho and that an official declaration of war is expected. The relations between Japan and Russia have reached a crisis, according to the official view in Berlin. The exact nature of the diplomatic exchanges between the two governments that brought out the present tension appear to be unknown at the legations of the two countries here or at the German legations at St. Petersburg and Tokio, although it is understood that Great Britain is privy to Japan's movements. Alarm Felt In London. A London dispatch says: Deprecating the rumore of a Japanese ultimatum to Russia, Baron Hayashi, in an interview Monday, said he had no information of such a character, adding that had Japan taken this action "the Anglo-Japanese treaty would have necessitated my being immediately notified," so that he might inform the British government. In spite of the reassuring statements of the foreign office and Baron Hayashi, the frequent reiteration that hostilities between Russia and Japan are imminent, the mysterious movement of the Russian and Japanese fleets, and the excited state of public opinion in Japan are beginning to cause disquiet in Great Britain, which, by the occasion of her alliance with Japan, is so intimately concerned in any action which the latter may take in the Far East. 2 No Hostile Act Yet. A Washington special says; Aside from extensive military preparations by both nations, the Japanese legation in Washington is not advised that either Russia or Japan has as yet committed any act of war. The Japanese minister is being kept constantly advised by cablegrams from Tokio of the situation and realizing its gravity he is moving with great caution. The negotiations between Russia and Japan, according to his advises, are still in progress and there is hope of a diplomatic settlement of the questions at issue. The representatives of this government in the capitals of Russia; Japan and China have not advised the state department regarding recent developments and rumors of war over Manchuria. As has often been pointed out, the United States has no cause of protest because Russia has failed to keep her pledges that she would evacuate Manchuria on October 8. The interests of the United States in Manchuria is covered by the recent treaty between China and this country. If Manchuria becomes annexed to Russia or continues under Russian control the United States will insist that the provisions of the treaty be carried out, especially as Russia assented to its provisions previous to its being signed. BRYAN CONTROLS THE CASH. Nebraskan is Made Trustee of Large Amount by Bennett Will. Amount by Bennett Will. William J. Bryan appeared in the probate court at New Haven, Conn., Monday, and as executor filed for probating the will of the late Philo S. Bennett. The will disposes of an estate worth approximately $253,000. Among the public bequests the will provides that $10,000 be divided among twenty-five colleges or universities by William J. Bryan and $10,000 is given to Mr. Bryan to aid needy students, while a similar amount is to be distributed by Mrs. Bryan among deserving students in female colleges. The Savannah PEACE ON THE HORIZON. Rift Appears in Eastern War Cloud and Reassuring News Comes from Center of Disturbance. The foreign office in Berlin, Germany, now looks upon the situation in the Far East as being less grave. Both Japan and Russia appear willing to arrange a modus vivendi concerning Korea, which country and not Manchuria, is the extreme point of difference. Russia, it is asserted, would consider it a casus belli were Japan to land troops at Ma-San-Pho. Count Inoye, the Japanese minister, says everything in the dispute between Japan and Russia will be settled amicably. The foreign office at St. Petersburg says it has no official confirmation of the reported disembarkation of Japanese troops at Ma-Shan-Pho. Regarding Manchuria, the foreign office states that the question is at present closed. The existing situation is the fault of the Chinese, Japanese and British. If China desired to reopen the negotiations and accept certain conditions the situation could still be changed, as Russia is not rooted to the soil and could leave it if she liked. Baron Hayashi, the Japanese minister in London, has received reassuring news from Japan with reference to the situation in the Far East. He says his telegram indicates that there is no need whatever for alarm and adds that the message was not a reply to anything he had cabled, so he thinks it was probably sent because of the alarmist rumors which have been in circulation in Europe and which finally reached Japan. The trend of Tuesday's early information regarding the Far Eastern situation is less alarming. The Frankfurter Zeitung, whose sensational announcement of the occupation of Sa-San-Pho by Japan Monday occasioned disquiet, published a telegram Tuesday from Shanghai saying there is no confirmation of the reported occupation of that place regarding the Russian-Japanese negotiation at Tokio concerning the evacuation of Manchuria give the impression that the political situation in Japan is quiet. A special from Yokohama says: All reports emanating from Shanghai of the opening of hostilities between Japan and Russia, etc., may be dismissed as absurd. Russo-Japanese affairs are marking time. The second secretary of the Russian legation left Tokyo October 12 with secret dispatches for the Russian viceroy of the Far East, Admiral Alexieff. An important conference of veteran Japanese statesmen, including the Marquis Ito, was held at the premier's office Tuesday. BOYCOTTERS HARD HIT. Most Sweeping Injunction Granted by Judge at Hamilton, Ohio. At Hamilton, Ohio, Judge Belden has granted one of the most sweeping injunctions ever issued by a court in that state. It was directed against the Hamilton Typographical Union, the Hamilton Co-Operative Trade and Labor council and the Nonpareil Printing Company, publishers of the County Trade Organ. The defendants are enjoined from continuing a boycott on The Republican News, or firms which advertise in it and ordered that interference of every sort with the company's business must stop. The court said the constitution gave any company the right to employ whomsoever they saw fit. The boycott was to force the plaintiff to abandon its "open shop" policy. SYNDICATE BUYS ROAD. Owners of B. and B. Secure the Mawk. Inville and Florida Southern The same syndicate which controls and owns the Brunswick and Birmingham railroad has acquired by purchase from A. B. Steele and J. W. Pope, the Hawkinsville and Florida Southern, which runs from Hawkinsville, in Pulaski county, Ga., to Worth, a connection on the Georgia Southern and Florida, a distance of 44 miles. The same syndicate has also acquired the Fitzgerald branch running from a point on the Hawkinsville and Florida Southern to Isaac, on the line of Wilcox and Irwin counties. INDIANS IN FATAĆ BRAWL Bad Liquor Results in Massacre and Seven are Killed. A special from Browning, Mont., says: Seven people have been killed and two wounded during a drunken row on the Black Foot Indian reservation in Montana.. The dead are: Wakes-Up-Last, wife and three children; Mrs. Susan Bigroad, Mrs. Little. A number of Indians secured a quantity of whisky Sunday night and started on a big spree. In some manner Wakes-Up-Last became engaged in a row, with the rest of the party with the result stated. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. OCTOBER 17. 1903! GRAFTERS IN COURT First Trial in Connection With Postoffice Scandal. Trial is Held In Cincinnati Court and Has to Do With the Ryan Turf Exchange Bribery The first trial under about two dozen indictments against postoffice officials, secured in different parts of the country by the government recently, was begun in Cincinnati Tuesday. The defendants are Daniel Voorhees Miller, of Terre HaHute, Ind., formerly assistant attorney general for the postoffice department at Washington, and his friend, Joseph M. Johns, an attorney at Rockville, Ind. The government charged a conspiracy between these defendants for the purpose of obtaining money from John J. Ryan, a turfman with offices in Cincinnati, for protecting him from postoffice officials in the use of the mails for his schemes. Miller claims that he made an ordinary contract with Ryan as attorney to assist in securing a decision from the postal department, after presentation of the case. Both defendants emphatically deny any understanding between themselves or with Ryan or any conspiracy. While District Attorney Sherman McPherson and his assistants, Moulinir and Darby, have been working on the case for some time, they were assisted Tuesday by Charles H. Robb, assistant attorney general for the postal department at Washington. D. C. Cochran, chief of postoffice inspectors, Inspectors Vickery and Fulton, who arrested Miller and Johns and others. The defendants have been indictal jointly on six counts of conspiring to securize a bribe from John J. Ryan & Company, of Cincinnati and St. Louis. The government has called a dozen witnesses and the defense three times that many, so that it is not expected that the arguments will be reached until the latter part of the week. The witnesses Tuesday were Richard M. Webster, a clerk in the legal department of the postoffice department at Washington; J. M. Morrow, telegraph operator, at Rockville, Ind., and John J. Ryan, the latter being on the stand when court adjourned. John J. Ryan, the star witness of the government, was on the witness stand from 3 o'clock until court adjourned. He gave a history and an explanation of his co-operative investment company, telling how he advertised in the papers and received answers with money by mail. Last November he was called on by postoffice inspectors, and soon afterwards received a notice from D. V. Miller, assistant attorney for the postoffice department, that his turf commission operations were fraudulent. Later he had a hearing before Attorneys Christianity and Miller, on November 11, in Washington, where the whole matter was finally referred to Miller. At this meeting Ryan promised to reorganize his co-operative investment company so that his operations as turf commissioner would come within the requirements of the postal laws. He continued, however, to have trouble, and soon after his return from Washington he received a letter from Joseph M. Johns, in which the latter said he could be of service to him. After considerable correspondence by mail and wire, they met in Terre Haute, where Ryan stated he registered under the name of Rose. Ryan was proceeding to reagent a conversation that took place when the two were alone in a room at Terre Haute, when he was stopped by an objection from Rulison to the witness testifying as to what Johns recited about Miller saying to him. Ryan was testifying that Johns claimed to be close to Miller and able to advise Ryan what Miller had said could or would, be done in the pending case. WORK OF TRAIN WRECKERS. Track of Southern, Near Danville, Piled High With Debris. A bold attempt was made Sunday afternoon to wreck passenger train No. 1 on the Southern about three miles east of Danville, Va. The track had been piled with crosses and a fish plate. The train was running at a very low rate of speed and but for this fact a disastrous wreck probably would have occurred. The obstruction was placed at the end of a high trestle and the disaster of three weeks ago would have been duplicated. AFTER GAY TOMMY PLATT Washington Woman Seeks to Stop Wedding of Aged Senator—Breach of Promise Alleged. Miss Mac C. Wood, a clerk in the money order division of the postoffice department, left Washington for New York last Friday, accompanied by an attorney, with the avowed intention of preventing the marriage of Senator Thomas C. Platt to Mrs. Lillian T. Janoway, which it was announced would take place Thursday. The department clerk, it is asserted by her friends, expected that the senator would marry, but that she herself would occupy the place which the senator has announced will be filled by the handsome, Washington widow. Now, says a Washington digpa, h. Miss Wood intends either to prevent the wedding or to start a suit for damages, based on breach of promise to wed. According to the story which the postoffice clerk-told, she has been reeleding attentions from the senator for the past two years—ever since she was appointed to a position in the department through his innuence. She has been in constant communication with him and exhibited many letters signed by him which teemed with ardent affection and frequently mentioned the approaching nuptials. It was understood that their wedding was to take please early this winter. According to the report of the woman she received a letter from the senator last summer reaffirming his love and inclosing check for $1,000. He told her to take a trip to Europe and prepare herself to be the wife of a senator of the United States. The tour of Europe was made, and when she returned last week she read in the newspapers that the senator had announced his engagement to Mrs. Janeway. She stalightway conferred with legal advisers and the trip to New York was made upon their advice. It has been well known in Washington that Senator Platt's sons have opposed his marriage, and it is hinted that they are working with Miss Wood to prevent it. Miss Wood is highly educated, having received degrees on doctor of law, doctor of medicine and doctor of diplomacy. She is an orphan and was appointed from New York. VETS HONOR SCHOOL GIRL. Young Miss Galt Invited to Attend . Georgia Confederate Reunion. By a unanimous vote and amid great enthusiasm, Camp 435, at Augusta, Ga., at its regular meeting Monday night, extended an invitation to Miss Louise Talbert Galt to visit the Georgia state reunion to be held in Augusta November 10, 11 and 12, as the honored guest and at the expense of the camp. It will be remembered that Miss Galt is the young school girl of Louisville, Ky., who refused to sing the song, "Marching Through Georgia," when commanded to do so by a teacher of the public schools of her home. The fact was heralded extensively through the newspapers of the country and brought her into great prominence. SPOTS COVER THE SUN. Group of Nine Large Splotches Are Easily Seen by the Naked Eye. Tuesday the United States naval observatory at Washington made observations of the extraordinary group of solar spots now visible on the sun, the largest group discovered in the last decade. The group consists of about nine spots in all and now shows indications of condensing into two principal spots or groups somewhat separated. Monday the total length of the disturbed regiop was 172,000 miles, with a width of about 59,000 miles. The aggregate length of the principal spots is 123,000 miles. The group was easily seen by the naked eye at the naval observatory by several of the astronomers, and ought to be a conspicuous object for several days. REAGAN PREDICTS MONARCHY. Venerable Statesman Wante no Divis- lon of State of Texas. Judge John H. ReRagan, said in an interview at Dallas, Texas, Sunday. interview at Dallas, Texas, Sunday: "I do not want Texas divided into five states, as the annexion agreement permits. Texas should never be divided. The American republic is doomed. The dissolution of this union of states is sure to come, in my-opinion, and be succeeded by a monarchy. We are rapidly drifting toward a monarchical form of government. I want Texas to be big enough to stand alone, to once more be the republic of Texas." HARD COAST BLOW Terrific Storm Along Atlantic Wreaks Destruction. LIVES AND VESSELS LOST Norfolk and Newport Suffer Heavily. Ghastly Incident in New York. Paterson, New Jersey, Badly Flooded. A special from Norfolk, Va., says: The Virginia coast from Cape Henry to Dam Neck Mills to the south, was strewn with the wreckage of several ill-fated craft Saturday night. All communication with the seaboard is cut off, but it is known that many vessels have been wrecked and several lives lost. One of the coal barges, Ocean Belle and Georgia, nothing is now left except wreckage on the shore, and of the crews that manned them the fate of only five is known. The three-masted schooner Nellie W. Howlett, Captain Gheem, lumber laden, from Pensacola, is a total wreck on the coast three miles from Dam Neck Millis. Captain Gheem and his crew of six men are safe at the station. The terminal piers of the Norfolk and Western, Southern and Atlantic Coast Line in the outer harbor have been badly damaged by the wind and tide and the big pleasure piers at Ocean View are destroyed. Hundreds of small craft have floated ashore in the harbor. Norfolk City experienced a gale of from 40 to 50 miles all day Saturday and besides flooded streets, much damage has been done. For the greater part of the day the city was cut off from the outside world. Seventy-Two Miles an Hour. The weather bureau at Washington received a report from the signal station at Cape Henry, Va., saying that the wind was blowing 72 miles an hour and was carrying everything before it. Great Damage In New York. A New York dispatch says: As reports of the storm's havoc accumulate the estimate of the damage in and about Greater New York grows to startling figures and undoubtedly the total loss will run far into the millions. An extraordinary occurrence was reported from Greenwood cemetery, Booklyn. As the result of half a doze nlandalides on the hillsides of the beautiful burial ground, tombs were opened and headstones torn from their fastenings. Portions of coffins were scattered about over a large area and in other sections the slide of 'dirt, weighing many tons, had swept away monuments and buried scores of graves so that it may be impossible to again locate them. So far as New York city is concerned, the great flood storm is a thing of the past, with the exception of the interruption of suburban traffic in New Jersey. On many of the New Jersey steam and trolley lines communication is either interrupted or badly crippled and days will probably elapse before normal conditions are resumed. In all sections of Greater New York the floods obsided during Sunday and suburban traffic is conducted as usual. A special from Paterson, N. J., says: The flood in the Passaic river surpasses the mammoth inundation of March, 1902. The river has overflowed hundreds of streets and many families are being rescued from upper windows in boats. Mayor Hincheliffe Saturday morning appointed a committee to organize a relief committee. A dam of sand and sacks is being built to keep the swollen river above the falls from breaking its banks and pouring into the city through a ravine, in which case frightful damage would be done. The gas works are flooded. There are fears for the electric light station. Scores of mills have shut down. The damage in the city of property is already estimated at half a million dollars. IN SECRET CONFERENCE. Last Stage of the Alaskan Boundary Fight Reached in London. A London special says: The last stage of the Alaskan boundary commission began Monday when the commissioners met in secret session to consider their verdict. Senator Lodge and Professor Sir Louis Jette, one of the Canadian commissioners, were early on hand and War Secretary Root and Senator Turner followed them into the cabinet room of the foreign office, where the deliberations are being held. CHINA OPENS THE DOOR. Commercial Treaty Between that Country and the United States Signed at Shanghai. Advices from Shanghai, China, state that the commercial treaty between the United States and China has been signed by Sheng Wung Pao, Lu Kai Huan, United States Minister Conger, Consul General Goodnow and Mr. Egan. The request for the publication of the text was officially refused until it has been submitted to the United States. The state department at Washington was promptly informed of the facts. The cablegram announcing the signing of the treaty was sent from Shanghai and was signed by Minister Conger, Consul General Goodnow and Mr. Seaman, the three commissioners who negotiated the instrument. An imperial decree by the Chinese government has made the treaty effective so far as that government is concerned, but it must be ratified by the United States senate before ratifications can be exchanged and the treaty put in operation. Great satisfaction is expressed at the state department at the outcome, as it makes certain the two ports in Manchuria will be opened to the United States, no matter what the outcome as to the negotiations for the evacuation of the territory by Russia may be. The assurance that Russia has previously given and to which the government would insist upon adherence, is that the treaty arrangements made with China covering Manchurian ports will be binding upon the Russian government. The principal points of the treaty are briefly, as follows: First, settlement of the long vexed question of international taxation in China. Second, recognition of American rights of residence throughout the empire for missionary work. Third, protection of patents, trade marks and copyright. Fourth, mining rights. Fifth, opening of new localities to international trade to a part of the empire where the United States has vast commercial interests. Sixth, right to carry on trade, industries and manufactures in all parts of China. The negotiations between China and the United States which culminated in the United treaty just signed at Shanghai were initiated under the provision of article xii, of the final protocol, signed by the powers at Pekin on September 7, 1901, terminating the anti-foreign outbreak of the preceding year. JURY ACQUITS POTTS. Popular Verdict is Rendered in Thedford Murder Case at Rome. At Rome, Ga., Saturday the jury in the case of Joseph D. Potts, charged with the murder of Dr. M. A. Theford, returned a verdict of not guilty, after being out a short time. It is but fair to state that the finding meets the approval of the entire local public, and Potts has been cordially congratulated by hundreds of people since he was released. The defendant's wife was much affected by the verdict and burst into tears. Although the verdict was manifestly popular, the waiting crowd in the court room maintained perfect quiet until the young man was outside, then he held a genuine reception. UNION LABOR WARNS CAPITAL Threat Is Made to Withdraw Savings of Workers from the Banks. "Organized capital, through its antiboycott and employers' associations, must stop its raid on the savings of the trade unions, or the union men will withdraw $300,000,000 from the banks." Such is the statement made by Thomas Kidd, vice president of the American Federation of Labor, after an investigation of the damage suits which the American Anti-Boycott Association and employers' associations have filed against trade unions within the last three months. Trolley Cars in Collision Tuesday morning two cars on the Chattanooga Rapid. Transit St. Elmo line ran together, owing to the failure of the block signal to work. Six persons were seriously and some perhaps fatally injured, while the two cars were wrecked. The accident occurred on a trestle near the foot of Lookout Mountain. Led Captors of Jefferson Davis. Captain S. I. Stauber, who was first lieutenant in charge of the troop of Michigan calvary that captured Jefferson Davis, is dead at his home in Hutchinson Kansas. BECAUSE Prof. W. H. Council agrees with him in his separation scheme, John Temple Graves has pronounced him the greatest living Negro. BISHOP TURNER stands for migration to Africa, Bishop Holsey for segregation and Booker Washington for fighting it out in this country. The bulk of the people stand with Booker on this question. In one of our churches alone, in this city, it is said to have five thousand members. There are more than twenty-five other churches with an average of five hundred which would give to the city about seventeen thousand professed Christians, which is more than half of the colored population of the city. If this number of Christians would exert the proper influence, affairs in this community, would undoubtedly become more salutatory. A NUMBER of "fool niggers" got their just deserts around the theatre on Tuesday night. They were before the door in droves waiting for an opportunity to enter the peanut gallery, but before they could reach their haven the policemen played several tunes on their heads. This served them right, they had no business sorambling to secure inferior accommodation. The women who frequents the gallery are the ones who prevent the better element securing proper accommodation. Next month a fair will be held in this city. It is being advertised extensively and THE TRIBUNE hopes that it will be a successful one. This sentiment is expressed because the colored citizens are interested in everything that will benefit Savan nah and if this fair succeeds this much will be accomplished. The management of the fair is making no effort whatever to secure the interest of the colored citizens and they may possibly feel that they are not needed which would be a just feeling. LAST week one of our citizens approached us and seemed very indignant because he was unable to secure admission for one of his children in one of the public schools. This citizen has two children who are already accommodated. We shared his indignation, but on further questioning him, we found that he was not a tax payer, that he was too parsimonious to pay just one dollar a year to educate two of his children and was indignant because he could not get the third one in; then our indignation turned on him. If this man was not intelligent and earning a good salary, we would not feel that way. There are others of his ilk who have a number of children in the schools and who will not pay a dollar for poll tax. THE rumor in a number of newspapers in Georgia that Hon. Walter H. Johnson of this State would be brought forward as a candidate for the nomination as Vice President on the Republican ticket of 1904 has been attracting considerable attention. Since the mention of Mr. Johnson's name in connection with the nomination, we have met prominent Republicans from different parts of the State, and the proposition meets with general approbation. There is no Republican in the South who has shown more consistency and devotion to party principles, than Mr. Johnson, and in character and ability he is the equal, of any of the public men of the day, and no better nomination could be made for the Vice Presidency. THERE is nothing very strikingly unusual in not paying a debt when due, says the Florida Sentinel. A promise to pay an honest debt on a certain day and failing to meet the payment when due, does not carry with it an intention not to pay, nor an intention not to pay when the debt was contracted. Anyone who fails to pay what he owes another upon a stated promise, is in duty bound to write or call on his creditor and explain the causes or reasons why he failed to meet the obligation; failing - in that, the creditor has a perfect moral right to an explanation, or a legal right to enforce his claims. That's the exact position between debtor and creditor. There is another class of people who contract a debt with no intention to pay, and this is done by their smooth tact and pliant manners. These people are usually denominated cheats, and have the effrontery to pride themselves on their smartness. The devil will never get the majority of his own until these fellows are his catch. The undeveloped colored man is looked upon, as being inferior by those of the opposite race. In this they are never more mistaken. Called For Life. About a year ago the Rev. J. J. Jenkins was called to the pastorate of the First African Baptist church at Darien. This is the largest church in McIntosh County. When he took charge of the church he met a debt of several hundred dollars. In a short time he wiped out this indetenedness, paid all the running expenses of church and now has in bank to the credit of the church $60.00. This itself is wonderful, for there are but few churches in the country out of debt. During the year he received in the church 360 members. The present membership of the church is 2,000. Last Sunday the members of the church recognizing the great benefit he has been to the church called him as their pastor indefinitely. This call was made with but two dissenting votes. Rev. S. O. Roberts of Brunswick was the other candidate and he received the two votes. Rev. Jenkins was ordained by the Executive Board of the Zion Baptist Association in 1900 in this city. He is pastor of the Friendship Baptist church of this city and comes here once a month to attend services. He was elected as one of the vice moderator of the General State Conventions of Georgia; is chairman of the Baptist District Union of McIntosh county and member of the executive board of the Zion Baptist Convention. Rev. Jenkins is a comparatively young man, to receive all of these honors and he is destined to do much good. In his church work at Darien he is supported largely by Mr. W. C. Guyton and a fine set of officers. This is one of the oldest churches in this section. Evangelical Union. E. JONATHAN NELSON SECRETARY. St. Philips Dots. The Fourth Quarterly conference was held last week. The reports were excellent. Rev. F. R. Sims deserves much credit for the work he has accomplished during the quarter. Presiding Elder W. O. P. Sherman preached at 11 a.m. Sunday. Hymn 351 was sung "Come Thou fount of every blessing." Rev. Sherman's text was, Eccl. 12:1 "Remember thy Creator in the days of thy youth." Rev. Sherman's sermon was to the young as well as the old, and was very much enjoyed by the large congregation present. At 8 p.m. Rev. Sherman preached to a large audience. A committee was appointed at the Quarterly conference to prepare a set of resolutions on the death of Rev. J. A. Wood the veteran preacher and presiding Elder of the A. M. E. church, who died on last Tuesday in the upper part of this State. The committee read their report on the life and death of the deceased. The resolutions were ordered placed upon the minutes of the Quarterly conference and a copy be sent his family. We want the members of the A. M. E. church, to remember that the Georgia conference will convene at St. Philips Monumental church on New street Dec. 9. 1903. We hope that they will take the minis- ters and provide homes for them while in the city. If you can't feed them, you can sleep them; we also ask our friends to assist us. We also ask our members to pay their dollar money. We wish to make a grand report this year. The usual services will be held to-morrow. Masonic Column, The assessment for the home must not be kept in the Lodge's treasury but forwarded at once. The members of Josephine Court are requested to attend a very important meeting at their hall on Tuesday night next. Members of the craft and the O. E S., are asked to send small articles for the furnishing of the home. These may be sent to Grand Matron Mrs Viola E. Hart, at Americus. Upsets All Predictions. J. F. Hughes, was a candidate for county treasurer at DuPont, Ga., but it was predicted that he could not live six months. He was afflicted with a running abscess on his lung and a suffered for three year; his life trembled in the balance when he heard of Dr. King's New Discovery for consumption. He tried it and was finally cured and thus upset the predictions of all who knew him. It's positively guaranteed for Throat and Lung trouble by Knight's Pharmacy. Price 50 and $1.00.

Twice----Its Worth When a man walks into our Clothing Department, selects a particular kind of an Overcoat or Suit he fancies, notices the way it's made, puts it on his back and inquires the price, nine times out of ten the sale is made. We are never afraid to show our goods to our customers for fear the price is too high; neither do our customers ever attempt to have us reduce the price, because they know that we have "only one price" to everybody and that is the lowest. This is Not the Way With Some Merchants. No business man can afford to give away his profits unless he mark his goods away up, in order to be able to give a discount of 10 or 15 per cent on the sale. Would you not, as a fair minded man, prefer to deal in a house where you are guaranteed the same price as your next door neighbor? We do not care a rap whether you buy your goods from us for cash or have it charged. We consider you good enough for the amount, otherwise we would not want you on our books, and the way we treat you in giving you GOOD GOODS AND LOW PRICES, we know this is inducement enough to pay as soon as you have the money to spare. is to come to our Clothing Department, To-day, Next Week, or at any time you are ready for any thing to wear. Select what you want; we are willing to send it to your home. Do likewise with other stores. Judge the make and the price. We know you will know where to buy your clothing in the future, and that is at ADLER'S. HERE IS GOOD NEWS FOR MEN. We Have Placed on Sale 25 Styles of Hand-Tailored worth $13 50 and $15; they are the best lots of Men's Suits we have ever marked at this price.

Several weeks ago THE TRIBUNE spoke of the purchasing of the building formerly used as the Anderson street school, by our enterprising fellow citizen, Mr. John F. Jones. At the time the building was purchased it was used as a school. The amount of rent paid by the board of education was very small. The board was notified that the same would be increased to which they refused to accede, and which resulted in the purchasing of the Maple street property. After the removal of the school Mr Jones had the building completely renovated and the inside arrangements changed. He is now having it used for entertainments and meeting purposes. The first floor is used for entertainments and the second for meetings. Both floors are commodious and will accommodate a large number of persons. Mr. Jones has shown excellent taste in its renovation and it has caused the neighborhood to have quite a changed appearance. The hall is well located in a neighborhood where it will be patronized. Mr. Jones has received the congratulations of his host of friends on his good investment.

Broadway A MARVELOUS TIMEPIECE Phonograph Attachment Reminds One of His Duties. The latest piece of clockwork ingenuity comes from Geneva. In that home of horological marvels a clock with a phonograph attached to it has just been constructed. The clock acts as a mechanical mentor. If a man has to keep a business appointment at 12 o'clock to-morrow he tells his phonograph clock all about it, and sets the-alarm indicator at 11.30. At that time on the morrow the clock will speak the message of reminder, giving him half an hour in which to get ready. "There is no limit to the things that clocks will do," said a London clock expert, "if only they are adapted. They have already been made to play tunes, work models, print records and do a hundred other duties. There is no likelihood of any firm going in extensively for the manufacture of horological phonographs." An order for coffee for two, tea for one eggs and bacon for all, might be given to the servant's clock, with the indicator set at breakfast time. The ardent lover who must miss one evening in the week from his adored one's side on account of other pressing business, might easily persuade her to whisper the three words which are the essence of most courtship colloquies. Then, in the middle of his reluctant work, and with a prefactory biss, out would come the old, old story, and, provided there were two such clocks employed, there would be mutual contentment—London Express. WISE WORDS. White lies are but the ushers to black ones.—Marryat. Nature creates merit and fortune brings it into play.—Royhefoucauld. Patience is power; with time and patience the mulberry leaf becomes silk.—Chinese proverb. A true man never frets about his place in the world, but just slides into it by the gravitation of his nature and swings there as easily as a star.—E. H. Chapin. As riches and favor forsake a man, we discover him to be a fool, but nobody could find it out-in his popularity.—Bruyere. Write your name in kindness, love and mercy on the hearts of those who come in contact with you, and you will never be forgotten.—Chalmers. So remarkably perverse is the nature of man that he despises those that court him, and admires whoever will not bend before him.—Thucydides. Let men peer as close as they may into the secrets of nature, they do not analyze away the fact that God, the mysterious, the unnamable, can yet delight in man, and man in him.—Heutry Wilder Foote. He that is faithful in the first alternative that tests him not only acts more promptly, but also sees further in the next. Each little grace invites a larger; and his step being upward, his view is wider.—James Martineau. If my dreams of doing something splendid and rising to something great are dead and gone, I will take hold with a will at what I know I can do still to a good purpose, and then let the eternal love which is watching for me take care of the rest—Robert Collier. President Ellot on Judgment. Said President Elliot, of Harvard, to a body of students some years ago: . a body of students some years ago. "If the law requires that four cents' worth of postage be placed on a letter, comply with it. But do not place one stamp on top of the other. Exercise judgment. "Love is erratic. Its course is not smooth. A lady requested her husband, who was absent in Europe, to grow a Van Dyke beard as that was all the style at home. The husband replied that he, would do as requested. A few days later the devoted wife sent her husband a beautiful scarf pin, which she desired him to wear on his return home. She was entertaining house guests and wished her husband to make a good first impression. "When the loving wife saw her husband she rushed to her room and wept piteously. "Gentlemen, how was that obedient husband to grow a Van Dyke beard and not hide the scarf pin? I say, exercise judgment," Rustic Work. Sooner or later every owner of a country home runs up against the idea of rustic work. Generally it hits him hard—sometimes too hard. If you really need seats or summer houses in your woodland nothing can be more appropriate than logs with the bark on, because they harmonize with the growing trees, says Country Life in America. This is the real secret of the popularity of rustic work—its fitness. It is opposed to costlier and more architectural features which make a strong contrast with natural surroundings. Occasionally, however, you will find a man who has fallen head over heels in love with rustic work for its own sake. The consequence is that he fills the lawn in front of his house with all sorts of rustic impossibilities, which look doubly foolish because they have no earthly use and because they are out in a sunny spot in the midst of an environment which is civilization rather than nature. Indiana's Great Oak. The famous "Johnston's giant oak tree," on the farm of Joseph M. Johnston, near Amora, Ind., has been purchased and cut down by James Trister. It was conceded to be the largest oak tree in Indiana, measuring six and a half feet through at the base, making four twelve-foot logs containing G700 feet of lumber. -Denver Republican. ADMIRAL SCHLEY ENDORSES PERUNA ADMIRAL SCHLEY, one of the foremost, notable heroes of the nineteenth century. A name that starts terror in the heart of every Spanlard. A man of steady nerve, clear head, undaunted courage and prompt decision. Approached by a friend recently, his opinion was asked as to the efficacy of Peruna, the national catarrh remedy. Without the slightest hesitation he gave this remedy his endorsement. It appeared on later conversation that Peruna has been used in his family, where it is a favorite remedy. Such endorsements serve to indicate the wonderful hold that Peruna has upon the minds of the American people. It is out of the question that so great and famous a man as Admiral Schley could have any other reason for giving his endorsement to Peruna than his positive conviction that the remedy is all that he says it is. Plantation Chill Cure is Guaranteed To oure, or money refunded by your merchant, so why not try it? Price 500. A little shallow silver urn, High in the east the new moon hung; Amid the palms a fountain flung Its snowy floss, and there, above, With its impassioned unconcern, A hidden bird discoursed of love. I felt your hand upon my arm Flutter as doth a thrush's wing, Then tighten. Sweet, how small a thing Draws kindred spirits heart to heart! More was that hour's elusive charm To us than eloquence or art. —Clinton Scollard, in October Smart Sct. A Sermon in a Sentence. If you are morose, moody or despondent; if you have a habit of worrying or fretting about things, or any other fault which hinders your growth or progress, think persistently of the opposite virtue and practice it until it is yours by force of habit.—O. S. Marden, in Success. Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rummaging sound or impairment of hearing. Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case not be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure.

Ernest Thompson Seton is to contribute a series of articles to the coming year of The Century, which he calls "Fable and Wood Myth," consisting of a number of qualit and suggestive, little sketches which will remind the reader somewhat of Aesop's Tables.

LEWIS Free say that Mrs. Schley has taken Peruna."---W. S. SCHLEY---Washington, D.C. The fact is Peruna has overcome all opposition and has won its way to the hearts of the people. The natural timidity which so many people have felt now giving endorsements to any remedy is giving way. Gratitude and a desire to help others has inspired thousands of people to give public testimonials for Peruna who heretofore would not have consented to such publicity. Never before in the annals of medicine has it happened that so many men of national and international reputation have been willing to give unqualified and public endorsements to a proprietary remedy. No amount of advertising could have accomplished such a result. Peruna has won on its own means. Peruna cures catarrh of whatever phase or location in the human body. This is why it receives so many notable and unique endorsements. Address The Peruna Drug M'tg Co., Columbus, Ohio, for free literature on catarrh.
