VOL. XIX. IT FREES BOODLERS Sensational Decision of Missouri Supreme Court. OPENS DOORS OF PRISON Prosecutions and Conviction of Hundreds of Prisoners Declared to Have Been Brought About in Illegal Manner. Notification of a decision of the Missouri supreme court, which brings into question the legality of hundreds of arrests and convictions recently made on information in St. Louis, and which, according to circuit attorney Frank Folk, opens the doors of the penitentiary, through writs of habeas corpus to many others, was received in St. Louis Monday by that official. In the list of cases which, under the ruling of court, could be affected if the plea of illegal arrests was raised, are the majority of the suburban franchise boodd convictions. It was stated by a well known lawyer that the statute of limitation in these cases expired last November and that if the present charges against the accused men should be found defective, it would be impossible to bring new indictments against them. All of the cases are before the supreme court on appeal, and the records show that each case was tried on information furnished by the circuit attorney on his official oath. They follow: Charles F. Kelly, former speaker of the house of delegates, convicted of perjury in connection with the suburban franchise boodle deal, sentenced to two years in the penitentiary. John H. Schneettler, bribery, Suburban franchise, five years. Jerre Hannigan, bribery, Suburban franchise, four years. John A. Sheridan, bribery, Suburban franchise, five years. T. Edward Albright, bribery, Suburban franchise, five years. Charles A. Gutke, bribery, Suburban franchise, five years. Edmund Bersch, bribery, Suburban franchise, five years. Charles J. Denny, bribery, Suburban franchise, five years. Louis Backer, perjury, Suburban franchise, investigation, four years. Henry A. Faulkner, perjury, Suburban franchise, investigation, three years. Mr. Folk notified Judge McDonald, of the criminal division of the circuit court and proceedings were stopped in all cases affected. Nine cases were wiped off the docket and the witnesses sent to the grand jury room, there to give information upon which to base indictments to take the place of the invalid informations. The case against E. J. Arnold, charged with grand larceny, was one of those affected. The decision is that reversing the case of the state versus William Bonner, which holds that an information issued by the circuit attorney's office must be sworn to by prosecuting witnesses in the case, and that circuit attorneys or prosecuting attorneys could only swear to information from personal knowledge of the facts. For two years, under a former decision of the supreme court, and under the constitutional amendment of 1900, and the act of 1901, prosecuting attorneys and circuit attorneys have been giving informations under their official oaths. In St. Louis alone, it is stated, fully two thousand cases have been tried on such information, and conviction resulted. STEEL TRUST TO CUT WAGES Reduction Will Affect 150,000 Employees of the Various Companies. PROFESSOR OF THE VARIOUS COMPANIES. The statement made in New York Monday by a leading official of the United States Steel Corporation that, beginning January 1, 1904, about 90 per cent of the employees of the corporation will suffer wage reductions ranging from 5 to 20 per cent. This reduction will affect about 150,000 workmen in the various grades of the subsidiary companies. Republicans Will Meet June 21, Next, to Name National Ticket. The republican national committee resumed its session at the Arlington hotel in Washington Saturday to take up the work of deciding on the place and time for holding the next republic can national convention. Chicago was selected for the place, and June 21 as the date. The vote stood: Chicago, 43; Pittsburg, 7; St. Louis, 1. The TOLBERT IS PUGNACIOUS. South Carolinian Seeks to Flight on the Field of Honor a Washington Newspaper Correspondent. The Atlanta Constitution's Washington representative sends the following to his paper: Because Francis E. Leupp, a Washington correspondent, is alleged to have publicly denounced him as a "political, physical and moral coward," R. R. Tolbert, of Greenwood, S. C., has challenged Mr. Leupp to meet him on the banks of the Potomac river, or anywhere else with any weapon from a shotgun to a razor if he desires to prove the truth or the falsity of the charge. Mr. Tolbert delivered this message Thursday night to John G. Capers, United States district attorney, in the presence of Duncan Adams, United States marshal for South Carolina, at Mr. Tolbert's room in the St. James hotel. Friday night it was said that friends of Mr. Leupp had engaged secret service men to camp on Mr. Tolbert's trail as long as he remains in Washington. The incident in Tolbert's room was precipitated by what he declares was the ungentlemanly treatment which Mr. Lepp accorded him on Thursday morning. Tolbert says he called at Lepp's office to have a quiet and polite talk with him that he might explain an article which appeared in The Greenwood Index some time ago in which Tolbert declares he was misquoted. It seems that the The Index article contradicted an interview which Lepp had with Tolbert several years ago regarding the election riots in Greenwood. It is claimed by the friends of Tolbert that Lepp is responsible for the president's refusal to appoint Tolbert collector at Charleson and that ever since the publication in the Greenwood paper Lepp has to the president and in the press denounced Tolbert as a "pseudo martyr" and as a "political, physical and moral coward." Mr. Tolber came to Washington for the meeting of the republican national committee, as he says, "to see what the committee is going to do for the republican party in South Carolina." "STAND PAT," SAYS HANNA. Republican National Committee Hold Initial Meeting in Washington. The republican national committee began its initial meeting preparatory to the presidential campaign of 1904 at the Arlington hotel in Washington, Friday. The committee, which was called to order by Chairman M. A. Hanna, represented every state and territory, either by the regular member or by proxy, except Hawaii. The principal business to be transacted was the selection of the time and place for holding the next republican national convention. Neither of these questions were discussed at the first day's meeting, however. When Senator Hanna called the meeting to order he was greeted with a round of applause. He expressed briefly his thanks to the committee for the work in the campaign of 1900, saying: "I desire to improve this opportunity to thank the members of this committee for their hearty and loyal cooperation in the campaign of 1900, for which service they were chosen by the convention held in that year. "From a personal standpoint, it is a pleasure to me to make this acknowledgment of unanimous and able support on the part of this committee in that campaign. Those of you who may be unfortunate enough to be chosen again will have more experience. "All of interest to the republican party that centers in this meeting can be told in one word, and that is 'success', and all that is necessary to bring about that result is to stand pat upon the principles and policies of that party." This statement was greeted with hearty applaus. Chairman Hanna explained that all meetings of the committee would be public except when balloting for a place to hold the next convention would take place. FIVE TRAINMEN LOSE LIFE. Heavy Freight Engines on B. and O. Overturn on Steep Grade. Five trainmen were killed and several severely injured by the overturning of two engines attached to a heavy Baltimore and Ohio freight train on the 17-mile grade near Piedmont, W. Va. Sunday. The dead are: Engineer Ernest Ervin, Engineer Emery Ervin, Fireman Walter Mino, Fireman J. V. Carter, Braebank John Hayes. Engineer Michael J. Gibbon was fatally crushed. SAVANNAH. GA. SATURDAY.

C., has DEPARTMENT OF GULF Will Be Re-Established With Head- quarters at Atlanta, Says Reliable Report from Washington. A Washington special says: The establishment of the department of the south, with headquarters at Atlanta, Ga., has been finally and officially de- termined upon. The order has not yet been issued, but this is mere formality. The general staff has recommended it and the secretary of war has given his approval. CUTTING WAR PATH Colombians Making Way to Reach Pamama Overland. JUNTA CALLS ELECTION Constitutional Convention Will be Held to Establish Permanent Form of Republican Government by NEGRO SU Holds Besslone causes Matt Indorse I The meeting Suffrage Leag day was devo- sion of whel country are Roosevelt for The report mantent organi e provided The order will be issued in the very near future, as soon as the assignment of officers is determined upon. That this was sure to come was some time since predicted by The Atlanta Constitution. The delay in reaching a decision is due to the fact that the general staff has had under consideration a number of changes in the existing plan of division of the military departments, and it was impossible to settle one thing until all were determined. A final decision was reached on Friday, but the fact has just become known, the official purpose being to keep it secret until the formal orders were ready. Under the plan adopted there are to be five divisions of the army, with twelve departments, instead of the present departments. This provision for the five divisions is new. The exact geographical lines of the department of the south have not yet been announced, but it will conform practically to the old department of the gulf, reaching as far south as the Texas line and north probably to the Potomac. New Orleans was a strong bladder for headquarters of the department of the south, but the superior merits of Atlanta put the Louisiana metropolis out of consideration. MOST PECULIAR TRAGEDY. *Memphis Policecem, In Disguise Shoots Merchant and Tifn Survivors Shoots merchant and Then Suicides. John C. King, a policeman, is dead by his own hand, and H. J. Kressenberg, a well-known business man and member of the city democratic committee, is probably fatally wounded, as the result of a sensational double tragedy enacted at Memphis, Tenn., Sunday night. Shortly before midnight Kressenberg, accompanied by his wife, left his store in the business district, and a moment later he was shot twice by a man wearing a handkerchief over his face as a mask. Kressenberg fell to the sidewalk, but shot his fleeing assailant in the leg. After running two blocks, the latter fell, exhausted, and turning his revolver on himself, fired a bullet into his brain. It was then discovered that the masked man was John C. King, a member of the local police force. No cause is known for King's attack upon Kressenberg. LABOR ORGANIZATION\FINED. Precedent Is Set by the Action of Chicago Judge. One thousand dollars fine for illegal acts as a corporate body was imposed upon Franklin union No. 4, press feeders, by Judge Jesse Holdom, at Chicago, Saturday. The court finds the union, as a corporation, guilty of contemp of court for violating an injunction restraining it from interfering with the business or employees of ten printing firms. DEMOCRATS SWEEP BOSTON. Mayor Collins. Re-Elected by Largest Majority on Record in City. The democrats of the city of Boston, Mass, won an overwhelming victory in the municipal election Tuesday, Mayor Patrick Collins being re-elected by 27,000 plurality, the largest ever given a mayoralty candidate in the history of the city. The hoard of aldermen next year will be solidly democratic and that party will have a large majority in the common council. The city, as usual, favored licensed liquor selling by a large majority. Tribune. CUTTING WAR PATH Colombians Making Way to Reach Pamama Overland. Constitutional Convention Will be Held to Establish Permanent Form of Republican Government by the Panamans. Advices received in Panama Saturday from Cartegena stated that the Colombian cruisers General Pinzon and Cartagena had landed 400 men under Generals Bustamente and Ortiz at Cape Toburon, at the mouth of the Atrato river, with the object of cutting paths across the mountains to enable, the Colombian troops to invade Panama. According to these advices there is at Cartagena a standing army of 10,000 men. The state department has been informed that final steps have been taken for the formation of a permanent republican form of government in Panama. The news came in a dispatch from Consul General Gudger, dated Panama Saturday, as follows: "Election for constitutional convention called for January 4. The convention meets January 20." This action is taken, it is believed, to meet suggestions from Panamans here that criticisms of the new republic would be largely disarmed and the status of the new treaty improved if the final ratifications would be exchanged by the United States with a permanent and regular form of government on the isthmus. The territory of Panama is so small that, according to the belief here, the elections can be completed within a week after the date named—January 4. The convention is expected to follow generally the outlines of the Cuban constitution, which is regarded as the most modern and the complete model of such documents. Buchanan Minster to Panama. The president has selected W. I. Buchanan, of New York, to be the first United States minister to Panama. Mr. Buchanan's selection was brought about by a desire on the part of the president to secure temporarily, at least, and during the crystallization of the relations between the United States and Panama, the services of a trusted and experienced diplomatic representative, having special reference to his knowledge of the Latin-service as minister to the Argentine republic, Mr. Buchanan fills that description, in the estimation of the state department. The new minister was originally from Ohio, and represented, the state as an agriculturist at the world's fair at Chicago. He was appointed by President Cleveland United States minister to Buenos Ayres. His record at that point was so satisfactory that President McKinley continued him at his post for several years after his succession to office. The navy department has received a cablegram from Rear Admiral Glass, announcing that he is making every effort to run down the various reports regarding Colombian expeditions to the isthmus. He has ordered the Mayflower to the mouth of the Atrota river to make a thorough investigation and a reconnoissance o that region will be made to definitely, ascertain as to whether there are any Colombian troops in that section. Reyes Chosen President. The Colombian legation at Washington received a cablegram Saturday night from General De Castro, commander in chief of the Colombian army, dated Port Limon, Costa Rica, conveying the information that the results of the election for president, held throughout Colombia on December 8, shows a complete triumph for General Reyes. When seen by a correspondent General Reyes would make no statement, beyond saving that he expected to remain in the United States for a fortnight longer. FLORIDA PARSON ON TRIAL Rev. Sprague Haled Before a Conference at Springfield, Mass. Rev. Franklin M. Sprague, of Tampa, Fla., was placed on trial at Springfield, Mass. Friday, before the Hampden conference of congregational ministers, charged with having maliciously incited his congregation to strife with maladministration of church affairs. Mr. Sprague is tried in Springfield because he is a member of the Hampden Association of Congregational Ministers and the Florida Association is without jurisdiction in his case NEGRO SUFFRAGE LEAGUE Holds Bessions In Washington and Discusses Matters Political—Falls to Indore President Roosevelt. The meeting of the National Negro Suffrage League at Washington Tuesday was devoted largely to a discussion of whether the negroes of the country are to support President Roosevelt for re-election. The report of the committee on permanent organization, which was adopted, provided that the organization should be known as the National Negro Suffrage League of the United States, and that the purpose be to preserve negro citizenship and suffrage and cement and concentrate negro influence. James H. Hayes, of Virginia, was chosen president, and J. C. Leftwick, of Oklahoma, national organizer in the west. The so-called Roosevelt faction in the league met with defeat at a late hour Tuesday night, and walked out of the convention. A resolution indorsing the president received 32 votes, while 38 votes were recorded against it. The address to the public prepared by the committee on resolutions declared that the race would not be politically eliminated and with the race stronger, wealthier and more intelligent, "the sipholeth of party preservation might be changed to race preservation." Lynching was denounced as a cancer which might spread to the whole body politic. The penal institutions in the south were denounced and the distribution of the race throughout all the states advised. The address was adopted. A resolution that the league meet in Chicago just before the republican national convention and request that body to adopt a plank upholding the fifteenth amendment was adopted. The resolution adopted by the delegates favorable to the president appeals to him to supplement his "commendable acts in the interest of justice and fair play for our race by recommendation to congress the passing of legislation for the enforcement of the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, thereby making effective his stand for equal rights." DOCTORS MEET IN ATLANTA. At 10:30 o'clock Tuesday morning, in the convention hall at the Piedmont, in Atlanta, Ga., the Southern Surgical and Gynecological association, composed of great surgeons from all quarters of the United States, opened its sixteenth convention with an attendance of fully 75 members. Dr. W. F. Westmoreland, chairman of the committee of arrangements, introduced Mayor Howell to the physclians, who welcomed them to the city. The mayor said that he would give them the keys to the city if the city had any keys, but that General Sherman on a memorable visit some 37 years ago had taken them away. In lieu of the keys, however, Mayor Howell gave them the freedom of the city, and said that as several delegates were far from home and might wish to see the sights of a very gay city, he would give them all the official protection that lay in his power. He added that the physclians of the city were a very progressive lot. He didn't know that they had much money—Atlanta was a healthy place—but they kept abreast of the time, and the delegates would find them congenial. He concluded with the remark that the committee on arrangements had opened the clubs of the city to members and visitors, had arranged several entertainments in their honor, and had even offered to have their checks cashed. The mayor thought that the latter courtesy could hardly, be added to, but said that if there was any deficiency in the matter of entertainment and comfort that he and the city would make it good. Dr. H. S. Bradley, pastor of Trinity Church then opened the session with prayer, and Dr. Joseph T. Johnson, of Washington, followed with a response to the welcome of Mayor Howell. The Southern Surgical and Gynecological Association is composed of some of the most prominent surgeons in America, and though national in scope, holds its conventions in the south. LEASE AWARDED PACE. Alabama Man, Sentenced for Peonage, Is Given Charge of Convicts. The Alabama state convict inspectors are surprised at the county commissioners of Tallapoosa county in awarding the convict labor of that county to J. W. Pace. Pace had the county convicts at the time he was arrested for peonage. He is now under sentence of five years, but the sentence has been suspended by Judge Jones of the United States court. President Carmichael of the convict inspectors, speaks in plain language about awarding this contrast. NO.11. May be Subject of Consideration at this Congress. Representative, Brantley, of Georgia Will Try for Experiment Stations at Various Points to Investigate Enemies of Plant A Washington special says: Congress is to be asked to make an appropriation for the 'establishment of experiment stations in Georgia, at which the agricultural department experts will seek to discover a way to cure the disease anthracnosis which has done so much damage to Sea Island cotton. For some time, Congressman Brantley has been in consultation with Secretary Wilson and the experts of the department of agriculture relative to the necessity for relief of the growers of Sea island cotton in Georgia, South Carolina and Florida. It seems that this kind of cotton has been a victim of four kinds of disease—wilt, rust, root knot and anthracnose. Methods have been discovered to offset or cure the first three, in some degree, at least, but the last named has done a great deal of devastation. It attacks the boll before it is matured, drying it up and making the staple yellow stained and of no length. In some sections the crop has been almost entirely destroyed. Mr. Brantley had conferences with the secretary and with Dr. Gallaway, chief of the bureau of plant industry, and Assistant Pathologist Orton was sent to Georgia to investigate. The necessity for some remedy is so evident that it is designed to establish experiment farms near Blackshear and Valdosta, at which the government experts will seek to produce a strain which will resist the disease. It is also the aim of the department to demonstrate the value of a proper rotation of the crops. As Georgia produces more than half the Sea, Island cotton crop of the country, and as most of that is raised in his district, Mr. Brantley will use his best efforts to secure from congress the necessary appropriations for the experiments. He believes he has assurances which guarantee success. The southern congressmen will co-operate with him. WORK IS THE SOLUTION. Race Problem Touched Upon by Booker Washington in New York. BOOKING IN NEW YORK. Booker T. Washington, in a speech at New York before the colored branch of the Young Men's Christian Association declared the real problem for the colored parent in the north is not that of getting his son and daughter educated, but of finding a job for them after they receive their diplomas. "If a white boy gets a place in an office and does his duty, he is assured-of advancement," said the speaker, but the black boy has got to work twice as hard to get there. Any man, black or white, who has learned to do something better than his fellows, has solved his problem. "In some parts of the country I fear we are getting the reputation of being willing to part with our votes for a price. We should let the world understand that the individuals who offers to buy our votes insults the manhood of the race." WHAT THE SEABOARD WILL DO. Road Will Enter the Georgia Capital from Two Directions. "The Seaboard is not only coming into Atlanta from the northeast, but from Birmingham on the west," said President John Skelton Williams at the breakfast tendered the officials of that road Friday morning at the Capital City Club, in Atlanta, by Colonel Robert J. Lowry. Book Men Sold Obscene. Literature. Three of the leading bookselling of Boston were found guilty Friday in the municipal court of having sold, or having had in their possession obscene literature, on complaints made by a society. A fine of $100 was imposed in each case. Mayor Harrison, of Chicago, Express Some Terse Opinions. The invasion of the municipal serv ice at Chicago by labor unlens ordered brought to a halt by Mayor Harrison Monday. "In the mechanical branches of the city's service," said the mayor, where the employee is simply a working man, it is all right for him to belong to a union but where the union belongs to a department, like the minister or po- litioner, he has no right to have a divided alliance. He must acceptidence to only one master, the mayor." SATURDAY DECEMBER 19, 1903. THE Republican State Central Committee will meet in Atlanta, on Dec. 31, at 10 a.m. THERE will soon be issued a call for the Republican National Convention which will be held at Chicago, June 21et, 1904. NEXT Friday will be merry Christmas, and THE TRIBUNE takes this method to extend to its many readers and patrons the compliments of the season. IN its agitation for a more civilized manner of observing Christmas eve along the business thoroughfare, THE TRIBUNE feels elated over the action of the city council and chief of police in determining to put a stop to rowdyism. This is as it should be. The democratic sheets of a sensational turn are trying to make capital of the attendance of Hon. J. W. Lyons at the banquet tendered the Republican National Committee by Senator Hanna. Space jammers do many things that help upset the harmonious feelings between the races. LAWYER HERRINGTON in his address in this city the other night on the Negro question was nearly along the right lines. He has taken an opposite view to the bombast Tillman, a view that is shared by many Southerners. Such expressions as Mr. Herrington's do much to ally race hatred. HERETOFORE men who are not manly enough to pay poll tax and register, have had a great deal to say during the political campaign and also taking officious parts, much to the detriment of the party. The State Committee should make stringent rules debarring those of the above ilk. Only stalwarts should be allowed a say so in the primaries . Parse on Presents. I met a gentleman the other day who wanted to know why I had stopped writing to THE TRIBUNE I told him that I had not stopped, but that I had suspended on account of pressure of duties "domestic and foreign." Besides I wanted time to consider whether or not my thoughts were profitable to the readers of THE TRIBUNE. I have not satisfied my mind on this point of profit, but I have concluded to say a few words about Christmas Save some of the money that you will waste in whiskey, wine, fireworks, railroad fare and other useless amusements and put it in a lot or in shares of the Wage Earners. Buy property while you can get it; there may come a time when you cannot purchase it for money or any other consideration. How many of the readers of THE TRIBUNE patronize Mr. Scott's enterprise? Has the Negro any race pride, race interest? Well, we shall see. Perse F. Homer. Thoughts Tersely Told. Mr. Editor: Did it ever strike you that withal so much fuss is continually being made over the Negro that he is a very popular subject. As a laborer he is a money producer, as a theme for a lecture likewise. A story is told of a clergyman who while visiting another was asked to preach. He replied that he had no sermon at hand, whereupon his brother of the cloth replied: "O preach about anything, preach about the Jews." However much the dominant race may despise the Negro as long as he exists they'll never be hard up for themes for magazine articles, sermons and lectures. The Negro "wont down;" the Anglo Saxon won't let him as long there is any money in him. Isn't it singular that despite the fact that the lines are drawn tighter against him each day that the business people of the country at large have not yet decreed that they will have none of his trade—that they don't need his money. The despicable and uncalled for hate manifested against him ought to go the entire length. It ought to be consistent. It ought to say, "We do not want any intercourse with you, whatever, we don't want your trade." The result would be the general establishment of Negro business houses whose support would of necessity to be a foregone conclusion. I am Sir yours truly, Block Head. College Dots. 1 The Christmas holidays will begin December 24, and will be continued until January 4. Bishops and ministers of the Georgia Conference were invited to the G. S. L. College to an oyster roast. They arrived at 4:30 last Monday and were escorted by the girls and the college cadets to the dining hall. Addresses of welcome were delivered by Vice-president Suggs and Prof. Thompson and responded to by Bishop Turner. After the oysters were served short addresses were delivered by Drs. T. N. M. Smith, Stinson, Watson, Brocket, Singleton and the Bishop. St Philips Dots. The weather on Sunday was fine not a more pleasant day could be desired. Our ministers in attendance at the conference enjoyed the services all day and they praised St. Philips members highly for their hospitality and for their grand report of dollar money which was four hundred dollars. We raised more dollar money than all of the other churches put together in the West Savannah district. The banner still floats over St. Philips. Rev. Sims and the members are highly complimented over their success. At 11a.m. service Rev. L. H. Smith, Ex-pastor of St Philips, corner of West Broad and Charles Sts, preached. Rev. Smith is always welcomed at St. philips. It was showed by the large crowd that was out to hear him. Rev. Smith's subject was "Why Christ's yoke is easy." He beautifully illustrated the duty of every christian. At 8 p.m. Rev. Branch of Thomasville, preached one of the most heart felt sermons that has been heard for a good while. His subject was "Coming Savior." Rev. Branch is an able speaker and he delivered a grand sermon and the large congregation that was out to hear him was much benefited. Too much praise can not be given Rev. Sims for the work that he accomplished in six months. No pastor could make a better report than was made by St. Philips. One thing, we are glad of and that is Rev. Sims has been returned to St. Philips for another year. Our members are going hard to work to pay our debts and renovate our church. The usual services will be held on Sunday. Christmas at St. Stephen's Christmas services at St Stephen's Episcopal church, Harris and Habersham Sta., will be 7 o'clock in the morning. The Christmas music will be repeated the Sunday after Christmas. The Christmas Festival of the Sunday School will be held on Wednesday evening, Dec. 30th., at 7:30 shirp.

Twenty new members were added, over a hundred shares were subscribed to the proposed grocery store and many paid up. The mass meeting for next Wednesday night will be a big affair. The speakers will be Rey. J. W. Carr, D. D, Rev. Wm Gray, Col. J. H. Deveaux and Mr. J. F. Jongs. The meeting will be held at the Harris street hall at 8:30 o'clock. The ladies especially are invited to attend. Local Brevities. Mrs Annie Grant Williams died at Isle of Hope last Tuesday, and was buried on Friday afternoon in Laurel Grove cemetery. Dr. J. J Durham, officiated. Mrs Williams was a member of the Second Baptist church for twenty six years, being a good christian and a faithful member.

After a session of nearly a week the Georgia Conference of the A. M. E. church adjourned on Tuesday night to meet at Millen next December.

Welcome address were made by Rev. F. R. Sims, Messrs E. M. Morse, D. G. Suggs and W. F. G. Sherman. During the sessions addresses were made by several visitors.

Of course a great deal depends on your own taste in the matter of newspapers. If you want a publication that serves up so much gore and so many thrills in every issue, it is money thrown away to buy The Tribune. If, however, you are looking for a daily history of the world, carefully collated and slitted and presented in the most attractive form that the facts and the laws of good taste will permit, you cannot make any mistake in reading The Tribune every day. But The Daily Tribune is more than a continuous history. It contains special articles on nearly every subject which is supposed to interest you and which is difficult to say nothing of the illuminating and instructive editorial articles and reviews of books, music and drama. Just by way of experiment, why don't you invest $1 and get The Daily and Sunday Tribune by mail for a month? With The Sunday Tribune goes a handsome Illustrated Supplement equal to a two-cent magazine. A Frightened Horse.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—I heartily recommend Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound as a Uterine Tonic and Regulator. I suffered for four years with irregularities and Uterine troubles. No one but those who have experienced this dreadful agony can form any idea of the physical and mental misery those endure who are thus afflicted. Your Vegetable Compound cured me within three months. I was fully restored to health and strength, and now my periods are regular and painless. What a blessing it is to be able to obtain such a remedy when so many doctors fail to help you. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is better than any doctor or medicine I ever had. Very truly yours, MISS EASY WHITTAKER, 604 39th St., W. Savannah, Ga." No physician in the world has had such a training or such an amount of information at hand to assist in the treatment of all kinds of female ills as Mrs. Pinkham. In her office at Lynn, Mass., she is able to do more for the alling women of America than the family physician. Any woman, therefore, is responsible for her own trouble who will not take the pains to write to Mrs. Pinkham for advice. Her address is Lynn, Mass., and her advice is free. A. letter from another woman showing what was accomplished in her case by the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. The testimonials which we are constantly publishing, from grateful women prove beyond a doubt the power of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to conquer female diseases. FORFEIT if we cannot, forthwith produce the original letters and signatures of above testimonials, which will prove their absolute genuineness. Lydia E. Pinkham Med. Co., Lyan, Mass. Adrift. The opinionless newspaper is like the rudderless ship. It keeps moving with the current and the breeze, but it never gets anywhere. It looks at the procession of passing events without seeing anything, and never sings except to join in the chorus. It thinks it is engaged in the performance of a mission. But it isn't—Albany Herald. There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together; and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable.

A rich, but ignorant lady, who was rather ambitious in her conversational style, in speaking of a friend, said: "He is a paragram of politeness." "Excuse me," said a wag sitting next to her, "but do you not mean a parallelogram?" "Of course I do," immediately replied the lady, "how could I have made such a mistake."—Tit-Bits.

To distinguish cotton from linen when you are choosing handkerchiefs, moisten the tip of a finger and place it on the handkerchief. If it is wet through at once it is linen, but if cotton be present in its manufacture, it will take some seconds to penetrate the threads. In linen the threads are less even than in cotton. TO RESTORE LINOLEUM. If linoleum is losing its freshness it may be restored and made to last twice as long. Melt a little ordinary glue in a pint of water. At night have the linoleum clean and dry, go over it with a flannel cloth dipped in the glue water, and by morning it will have a fine, hard gloss. For dusting ceilings, walls, etc., used cotton-fannel bags with two very full ruffles on the sides and end to cover the broom. These are also very useful on hardwood and painted floors. An excellent furniture polish is made of equal parts of raw linseed oil and gasoline. Cold tea, without soap, is good to remove stains from varnished wood. Solled places on wall paper may be removed by applying a paste made of pipe clay and cold water. GREEN TOMATO PICKLES. Select firm, light green tomatoes. Cut them in thick slices, without peeling them. Lay them in a weak brine, using a cupful of salt to a gallon of water. Let the tomatoes remain in the brine for twenty-four hours to draw out their crude juices. At the end of this time take them out, rinse in cold water and put in a porcelain lined boiler. To every quart of vinegar add two pounds of sugar and pour enough vinegar over the tomatoes to barely cover them. Add an ounce of cassia buds, an ounce of stick cinnamon, an ounce of whole cloves, an ounce of whole mace and the same amount of green ginger root, scraped and sliced, to every quart of vinegar. Cook the ginger root in the vinegar with the tomatoes. Add the other spices just before removing the pickles from the fire. THE DROOPING PALM. If the palms that you have consigned to the tender mercles of the servants or your neighbor while you were off on a summer jaunt are beginning to take on the scar and yellow leaf look, don't be disheartened, but try these simple suggestions that have been recommended by one who has had a similar experience: See to it that they are not set in the glare of the sun. A little sunlight once a day is sufficient. Be sure that they do not get too dry, with the earth in the pot baked and cracking. Water them thoroughly, but do not let water remain in the saucer. Wet feet are unhealthy for palms as well as for mortals. Immerse the pot in a bucket of water over night twice a week; the porous clay is of a thirsty nature. Wash the leaves off with milk and water and wipe them dry. Give a little liquid fertilizer every two weeks, but do not have it too strong. The scale, the mealy bug and the red spider are the enemies of the graceful palm. Spray and brush with soapsuds occasionally. Do not let your vigilance relax, for the scale is minute, but powerful. HOUSEHOLD RECIPES Fried Cakes—Beat one egg; add to it one cupful of milk; pour this upon two cupfuls of sifted flour; add half a cupful of melted lard and butter, one-fourth cup of sugar, three level teaspoonfuls of baking powder and half a level teaspoonful of salt; the dough should be soft; toss it on a floured board; cut in pieces; fry in deep fat a golden brown; lift with the skimmer to brown paper and dust with powdered sugar. Iced Apples, with Cream—Pare and core six apples; make a syrup with one cupful of sugar and two cupfuls of water; drop the apples into the syrup; when tender lift them out to a platter and when cold cover them with a thin meringue; sift a little sugar over and brown slightly in the oven; let the syrup boll until reduced to half a cupful; pour it out and when it is cold it will form a jelly; cut in squares, place over and around the apples; serve cold with sugar and cream. Escalloped White Turnips—Peel and slice thinly six medium sized white turnips; put them over the fire into boiling water; add one thick slice of onion and boll until tender, about forty-five minutes; remove the onion, pour off the water; put a layer of turnip in a baking dish; sprinkle with salt and pepper; pour over a little white sauce, alternating layers of turnip; melt two tablespoonfuls of butter; add some dried bread crumbs and spread over the top; brown in the oven. Squash Biscuit—Take half a cupful of cooked squash, add three tablespoonfuls of sugar, half a level teaspoonful of salt, four level tablespoonfuls of butter and half a cupful of scalded milk; when lukewarm add one-third yeast, cake dissolved in one fourth cup of tepid water and add about two and a half cupfuls of flour; cover and let rise over night; in the morning shape into biscuit; let rise two hours and make in a rather quick oven twenty-five minutes. --- ADMIRAL SCHLEY ENDORSES PE=RU=NA. Pe-ru-na Drug Co., Columbus, Ohio: Gentlemen: "I can cheerfully say that Mrs. Schley has taken Pe-ru-na and I believe with good effect." W. S. SCHLEY.----Washington, D. C. ADMIRAL SCHLEY, one of the fore-most notable heroes of the Nineteenth Century. A name that starts terror in the heart of every Spaniard. A man of steady nerve, clear head, undaunted courage and prompt decision. position and has won its way to the hearts of the people. The natural timidity which so many people have felt about giving endorsements to any remedy is giving way. Gratitude and a desire to help others has inspired 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.

The average capital of those engaged in the printing business is $12,574; the average value of their products is $14,569. These figures compared with those of a previous decade show that in a period of ten years an increased capital is required to produce the same or even a smaller value of products; this is largely caused by an increase in wages and a decrease in working hours. In 1850 a compositor in New York received $9 per week; ordinary job compositors now receive $19.50 per week, and operators on machines from $24 to $27, depending on the time of day or night they take their shift. In the opinion of many large operators, the number of wage earners has actually increased, rather than diminished. The introduction of machine composition has been of decided benefit to the employe, offering a new field for endeavor. There are few unemployed men in the printing trade, as is shown by the fact that when in 1900 the Typographical Union was called upon to supply 150 men for a special job of city printing, only 100 could be obtained, and these with difficulty.—From Scientific American's Special Number on "Modern Aids to Printing." WHY. "Lillian is not sure that she loves Walter. Sometimes she thinks she does, and at other times she's convinced she doesn't." "And yet she is going to marry him?" "Oh, yes—that's all settled." "But if she is not sure she loves him why doesn't she break the engagement?" "Because she is twenty-seven."

The natural timidity which so many people have felt about 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 merits. Peruna cures catarrh of whatever phase or location in the human body. That is why it receives so many notable and unique endorsements. Address The Peruna Drug M't'g Co., Columbus, Ohio, for free literature on catarrh.
