High Court Knocks Out the Northern Securities Co. GOVERNMENT WINS CASE Most Important Case Based on Violation of Sherman Anti-Trust Law. Decision By Majority The opinion of the supreme court of the United States in the case of the Northern Securities Company vs. the United States involving the merger of the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern railroad Company, handed down at Washington Monday is in favor of the government. The opinion was read by Justice Harlan. The opinion of the United States circuit court for the district of Minnesota was affirmed. The effect is to sustain the contention that the Sherman anti-trust law applies to railroad combinations of the character in question. Justice Harlan said that in the merger of the two roads the stockholders disappeared and re-appeared in the Securities companies, the two thus becoming practically consolidated in a holding company, the principal object being to prevent competition. "No scheme or device could certainly more effectively come within the proscription of the anti-trust law, and it is within the meaning of the act 'A Trust.'" Case of Great Interest. The case has attracted more attention than any other suit' before the court since the insular cases were decided, and has been regarded by bench and bar as equal in importance with those cases and with the income tax cases. It was argued in December last for two days, and attracted general attention at that time, as it did previously when the decision was rendered by the circuit court for the district of Minnesota. Claim of the Government. It was claimed on behalf of the government that this consolidation was in effect a pool, created to promote the interests, not of one system at the expense of another, but of both at the expense of the public. The railroads claimed the transfer of the stock of the two companies to the securities company was in the nature of a sale and perfectly legitimate. The contensions of the securities company were reviewed, and Justice Harlan said they had received full attention. He quoted the various opinions involving the trust question, saying that from them it is to be gathered that all contracts in restraint of trade, reasonable or unreasonable, are prohibited by the Sherman law, and that congress has the power to establish such regulations as are laid down in that law. Congress had power to enact the statute. Very soon after Justice Harlan had concluded his presentation of the case, it became evident that the court had Divided on the questions at issue, and as other opinions were announced it developed that there not only had been a very close shave for the government, but that one of the members of the court who cast his vote with the majority entertained opinions of his, own, which fact rendered the division all the most marked and interesting. Four Justices Dissent. This was Justice Brewer, who, while he concurred in the result, announced in an independent opinion of his own that he held the view that previous ant-trust decisions had been more sweeping than was justified. Four of the nine justices dissented outright. These were Chief Justice Fuller and Justices White, Peckham and Holmes. The opinions of Justices Harlan and White were long, while those of Justices Brewer and Holmes were comparatively brief. · THE GALLOWS FOR THREE. Chicago "Car Barn" Bandits are Doomed by Verdict of Jury. Hanging for all was the verdict of the jury, at Chicago, in the first murder case against the so-called "car barn bandits," Harvey Vandine, Peter Niedermeyer and Gustav Marx, who attained notoriety by a desperate all day battle that started in a dugout near Liverpool, Ind., where the trilobe had taken refuge after a series of remarkable crimes, including the murder of two employees of the Chicago railroad hit one of the company's motives in each instance. WRANGLERENEWED House Members Continue Tirade Against Bristow. INVESTIGATION IS BALKED By Strict Party Vote Republicans Turn Down Proposition Calling for More Light on Postal Scandal. A Washington special says: By a strict party vote, after a day full of exclining debate, the republicans of the house of representatives Friday defeated the democratic proposition for a congressional investigation into the postoffice department. The resolutions calling for such an investigation were ruted out by Speaker Cannon, and the appeal from the ruling was tabled by the republican majority, by a strict party vote. Subsequently the house adopted the resolution of Mr. McCall, of Massachusetts, providing for the creation of a special committee to investigate the charges against members contained in the Bristow report, but this does not open the way to a complete investigation into the rottenness of the postoffice department. The wrath which swept over the house of representatives Wednesday as the result of the report involving certain members of congress, and which was temporarily stemmed by adjournment Thursday on account of the death of Representative Croft, broke out afresh at Friday's session. Mr. Gillett, of Massachusetts, presented a minority report when Mr. Hay, of Virginia, promptly objected to its consideration. The speaker, in ruling on the point, said the Hay resolution was a matter of highest privilege, and he recognized Mr. Overstreet, of Indiana, who desired unanimous consent for an order giving the members ten days' leave to extend their remarks. Mr. Cooper, of Wisconsin, entered an emphatic "No." Mr. Tawney, of Minnesota, entertained the view that every member had the right to speak indefinitely as a matter of privilege. Mr. Overstreet then submitted two propositions, first that the discussion be extended until Monday at 4 o'clock, and, second, until 4 o'clock Saturday, to both of which Mr. Hay objected. He then renewed his motion for leave to print, which brought Mr. Williams to his feet with the declaration that whatever is said on this subject should be said in the open house, and he therefore objected. He was greeted with applause. Mr. Cowherd, of Missouri, was recognized and defended the action of the committee representing the report. There was no occasion, he said, to refer the matter to the committee to see whether the charges against members had been made. The report of General Bristow had gone out with the approval of the president. "I say now," he declared, "that Beavers has usually complied with requests of members of congress, regardless of the merits of the case, the answer is that the charge is true." "If members had made unusual requests upon the department," he said, "the propriety of their conduct was a question between themselves and their constituents. It is not a violation of law," he insisted, with emphasis. "The committee could not undertake to edit the department's report nor could they discriminate between the cases cited. If they had done so the committee would have been lashed from the floor of the house." BAPTIZED IN HIS GOFFIN. Before Execution Murderer Goes Through Unique Ceremonial. A dispatch from Richmond, Va., says: John Clements, colored, was hanged at King William court-house Friday for murder. He was baptized by immersion in the box in which his body was afterwards used as a coffin and which was shipped to a medical college in Richmond. MANGLED IN EXPLOSION. Deadly Accident in Toy Pistol Cap Factory in Chicago. Three persons, two of them being boys, were killed and eight other employees were injured Tuesday by an explosion of toy pistol caps, which completely demolished the two-story brick manufacturing plant of the Chicago Toy Novelty Company. The wrecked building caught fire and the bodies of the dead were so badly burned and mangled that it was impossible to recognise them except by remnants of clothing. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. MARCH 19. 1904. VARDAMAN USES VETO. Mississippi Governor Turns Down Bill Providing for Negro Normal School in Sensational Message. A profound sensation was spring in the Mississippi legislature Monday afternoon when Governor Vardaman bent in a message vetting the appropriation bill for the negro normal school at Holly Springs, on the ground that, this kind of education does the negro no good. The governor discusses the question of negro education at much length and in part says: "If I thought the character of education for the negroes of Mississippi, for which this school is intended, would produce beneficial results, I should most earnestly insist that the sum of money proposed to be appropriated for that purpose be increased a hundred fold, but it does not. On the contrary, many years of experience has demonstrated that the effect is pernicious, rather than helpful, to the unthinking, sentimental vagarist, whose profound misinformation of the matter is marvelous, or the reason-paralyzed, sorrid materialist, who views the question from afar off, the proposition to educate (without regard to the character of education) is accepted as a thing from which good must unfallingly flow. "The schools and methods of instruction suited to the white race do not fit the negro. Let that fact be kept perpetually before us. It will be remembered that the real negro in America is but one step (in the life of a race) removed from the bondage of barbarism and fetish worship. In the land to which he springs indigenous, his forefathers now live, and have lived, from the day when man's first footprint was made on this earth, in a condition of mental and moral darkness, and in America, where he has attained a degree of civilization, he is yet deficient absolutely in those moral qualities which are necessary to form the substratum upon which to build enduring character. "Men who have devoted intelligent and honest thought to the subject and fearlessly pursued investigation, with the view of discovering the truth, have found some curious things regarding negro mentality. You may take a young negro fresh from the jungles of Africa, and the readiness with which he learns to read and write is remarkable; but it is all dona like the parrot, in imitation of somebody else. Literary education—the knowledge of books—does not seem to produce any good substantial results with the negro, but serves rather to sharpen his cunning; breeds hope that cannot be fulfilled; inspires aspirations that cannot be gratified; creates an inclination to avoid honour labor; promotes indulgence and, in turn, leads to crime. That is the true story of the average negro, the correctness of which will hardly be questioned by an observant student of the subject. "I wish it understood that my objection to this bill does not grow out of a spirit of race hatred. I have no such feeling for the negro. On the contrary, I wish the race well. I should like to see it developed along moral and industrial lines until it shall become a positive factor for good, rather than a menace to our civilization—a blessing, than a curse. The only hope for the consummation of that wish is for the state to take matters in hand, ignore the abuse and criticism of the ignorant time-servers of both the north and south, and give the negro that which the negro needs—educate his heart and hands; give him, if possible, a moral basis to build upon, and you will thereby help the negro and the state also." PROFESSIONAL SHOPLIFTERS Two Women Come to Grief White - Plying Crooked Work in Atlanta. Two white women arrested in Atlanta Monday night on the charge of shoplifting have finally given their right names to the detectives, and one of them has made a full confession admitting that she is a shoplifter and that the goods found in her trunk were stolen from firms in Atlanta. The women are Edith Riggs and Eille Rivers, of Charleston, S. C. Is Sum Georgians Will Pay Toward Support of Army and Navy. As their share of the cost involved in the army and navy appropriation hills just passed by congress, the people of Georgia will be called upon to pay no less than $5,000,000 in a single year. Senator Bacon showed how much the cost of the state's share of support of the army and navy according to the size of the appropriations carried in the pending supply hills in a speech he made on the navy appropriation. RUSSIANS MOVING War. Spirit is Fully Aroused Throughout the Empire. KUROPATKIN'S SCHEDULE Great Things are Expected of Newly Appointed Russian General When He Arrives at the Front In Manchuria. Advices of Tuesday from St. Petersburg-state that General Kuropatkin expects to reach Mukden March 26. Everything will be sidetracked in order to get him to the front on schedule time. The general may proceed on a flying visit to Port Arthur, but he is more likely to enter at once upon his duties as commander in chief of the Manchurian army. He bears an autograph letter from the emperor to Viceroy Alexieff, to whom he will report. It is understood that the viceroy them will turn over the entire direction of the land operations to General Kuropatkin, who will transmit his reports to the emperor through the viceroy, but practically this is the only point on which Viceroy Alexieff will maintain superiority. New General's Plzns. General Kuropatkin had his plan of campaign practically perfected before he left for the Far East. He returned to St. Petersburg quietly from his country seat and his presence was not known for some days. He devoted the interim to the elaborations of his plans, in conjunction with his staff, and with the aid of all the information in the possession of the ministry of war, as well as of the special reports from the theatre of war. A superstitious idea prevails in St Petersburg that Gen. Kuropatkin will signalize his birthday, which occurs on March 30, and which is also his patron saint's day, with some important act. On account of the difficulty of housing the vast number of troops poured into Mukden, 1,000 having been sent forward within the last few days toward the Yalu river as reinforcements for the 7,000 troops already at Kasan and Anju, and the stream of soldiers from European Russia is now being held at Harbin. Advance Proceeding Smoothly Advance Proceeding Smoothly. The machinery of the advance of the Russian forces, says a Russian correspondent of the Associated Press at Mukden, are working smoothly from Harbin southward. The running of passenger strains has been resumed and the Russian families are proceeding on their way to Europe without cessation. Very cold weather, accompanied by blizzards and snow storms, has been followed by a succession of fine days. The health and spirits of the troops are good. Information has been received at headquarters that the Japanese are strengthening their positions in Korea. The Japanese authorities, says, a dis patch from the Korean capital, have ordered the newspaper correspondents at Ping-Yang and Anju to return. They also refuse to honor the permits formerly given for correspondents to accompany troops to the front and are holding them at Seoul. The action is regarded as significant. HOUSE SUSTAINS VARDAMAN. Mississippi Governor's Veto of Negro Normal School Bill Stands. There was a spirited debate in the lower house of the Mississippi legislature Tuesday morning on the veto of Governor Vardaman on the Holly Springs Normal bill, which was sent in Monday afternoon. The members covered every phase of the negro education question. Sixty-four members of the house voted to pass the bill over the veto, and forty-eight voted to sustain the governor. It takes seventy-two votes under constitution to pass a bill over the governor's veto, and therefore it failed to pass. VLADIVOSTOCK AGAIN SHEILED. Second Bombardment by Jap Warships Is Reported. It is reported that the Japanese fleet again bombarded Vladivostock Monday. It is believed at the legation in London that the Japanese are now between the Russian cruiser squadron and Vladivostock, and there is reason to believe that the squadron is in the vicinity of Possiet bay. Russian official dispatches do not mention this squadron, and this fast lends color to the belief that the Japanese warships have shut it out at Vladivostock. DERRICK URGES HEGIRA. Noted Colored Bishop, in Conference Address, Advice Race to Return to Africa. A New York dispatch says: Bishop William Benjamin Derrick, who for the past four years has been the presiding bishop of the New York diocese of the African Methodist Episcopal church, and for the past twenty-five years one of the most aggressive and active men of the colored race, has declared that he is tired of America and years for the land of his forefathers in Africa. This announcement he made in addressing the members of the New York conference and general conference will soon, assign a new bishop to take his place. Mob attacks, lynchings and the burning of negroes are too much for him, he said, and continued: "Forty-two years ago I stood ankle deep in blood in the fight between the Merrimac and Monitor and the blood of my comrades flew upon me as they were slaughtered in the defense of this nation, and yet the nation, although we fought to save the American flag, declares that we are not citizens, and affords us no protection. We cannot but help feeling badly over the situation. This is no country for us. "I do not advocate retaliation, but we should stand up manfully and protest, and appeal to the few friends that we have left to see that we get justice, since we are here. They tell me this is a land of Christianity and of civilization, when those who are supposed to be the leaders of religion and civilization will take a woman and burn her at the stake and then murder her husband. We cannot win by preaching too much of this spirit. The white man says he is a coward. The manly man strikes back. We de mand manhood rights, not black manhood rights nor white manhood rights. I do not ask for social equality or amalgamation, but for our own choice of selection as to taste and fitness. I want everything that any other man may have. But the white man cannot be just to us because he has in him none of the spirit of Christ." UPSET BY IRISH COUP. Balfour Government Beaten in British Commons on Snap Vote. A London special says: Premier Balfour's government was defeated in the house of commons Tuesday by the combined liberal and nationalist vote. This reverse was due to the prohibition by Mr. Wyndham, chief secretary for Ireland, on the teaching of Gaelic in the junior grades of the Irish national schools. Mr. Balfour, though defeated by a majority of 11 on this question, does not regard the vote as one of want of confidence, and he will not resign on this account. His determination not to resign was strengthened by the fact that shortly after the foregoing defeat he was able to secure a majority of 25. The failure of the government to carry the house with it on a question of purely administrative policy in its Irish department is generally admitted to greatly weaken its already waning prestige with the country, although it is not thought probable that any immediate development will ensue. In the house of commons itself, to use the words of prominent members of the opposition, "all the artillery in the government arsenals would not make them surrender office." The early morning papers only gave the figures of the voting on division and readers were left to guess whether or not the government had resigned. A wild rush was made for the house of commons and many elderly members ran half a mile or more while others drove recklessly to Westminster. Japanese Officers Going to Front. Japanese officers using Thirty-five officers of the Japanese army who have arrived at New York from Europe on different steamers in the last few days have started in a body for Vancouver, whence on March 21 they expect to sail for Yokohama. Cabinet Would Sustain Action of Captain of Gunboat Helena A Washington dispatch says: The cabinet Friday discussed the press reports that Saptain Sawyer, of the United States gunboat Helena, now in the mud dock at Nien-Chwang had protested against the slinking by the Russians, of the junks at the entrance of Nien-Chwang harbor. This govern ment has received, no official advices on the subject, but it is said the discussion by members of the cabinet indicated that such an attitude, if taken by-Csiptein Sawyer, would be sustained. Photos of Washington and Roosevelt So Classed. SENATOR M'LAURIN ANGRY Peddlers are Arrested in Mississippi for Arousing Race, Prejudice, Newspaper Report Was Exaggerated. A Washington special says: Mr. McLaurin, of Mississippi, took the floor in the senate Saturday to make a personal explanation regarding the newspaper paragraph, saying that the authorities of Indianola, Miss., are engaged in arresting people for sailing photographs of President, Robesvelt and Booker. T. Washington dining together. Ordinarily, said Mr. McLaurin, a story of this character may not be worth attention, but under the circumstances he felt he should refer to it for the purpose of refuting it, as it is entirely without foundation. The paragraph, which was dated New Orleans, March 10, follows: "Enraged at President Roosevelt's refusal to remove Minnie Cox, postmistress of the Indiana, Miss, position, Sherif Anderson, of that place, today arrested S. and Frank Davidson, of Chicago, for peddling photographs showing Mr. Roosevelt and Bocker Washington dining at the same table. The sheriff classified the photos as obscene matter and prejudicial to the dignity of the south, and to show the president that Indianola citizens will not tolerate any person circulating likenesses of himself on a social equality with the negro educator. "Groups of indignant citizens gathered at the Indianola jail, urging severe punishment for the Chicagoans for violating the obscene literature law. No other pictures considered vulgar by the sheriff were found, but the men were not released. Sheriff Anderson has detailed a force of deputies to scour the surrounding country searching for other pictures the peddlers are said to have sold, in which the race problem figured." Mr. McLaurin said the paragraph had grown out of a statement made in a newspaper letter written by A. G. Paxton, an attorney of Leland, Miss., who told of the arrest at that point of three men who, he said, were engaged in selling pictures of the president and Washington. scaled at table together and also pictures of an obscene character. These pictures, he said, appealed strongly to race prejudice. Similar arrests also, Mr. McLaurin said, had been made in Indianola, and it was found on hearing of the case that a Cincinnati concern engaged in publishing the pictures in question had many agents out in the interest of these works. The men were tried and some of them sent out of the county and Mr. McLaurin expressed surprise that any community should have permitted them to be tried. He said the penalty imposed by the law was entirely too inadequate and expressed the opinion that the death penalty would not do too severe. He added that the arrests were not because the men were selling photographs of the president or of Washington, but because they were selling lewd pictures. Mr. Foraker said he never had heard of the Cincinnati firm mentioned as responsible for the purpose of the pictures. GENERRAL BALDY A CONVICT. Was Prosecuted by Confederate Veteran Whom He Robbed. General George Baldy, a former Union soldier, who was prominent as a republican in Louisiana political life after the war, has been sentenced at New Orleans to serve six months in the penitentiary. General Baldy was the attorney of John Spraule, a confederate veteran, living in California in the settlement of a small estate, and was charged with embezzling the proceeds. At an exciting session the city council has enacted important legislation relating to saloons. Lows: "The hour for saloons closing is the future will be 1 a.m. instead of 10 a.m. night." After that hour saloons remove blinds and screens and keep a indoor light burning within. Can runners by children sent to saloons in their parents after beer is forbidden den. --- PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY. BY THE TRIBUNE PUBLISHING CO 118 W. St. Julian Street. Gs. Phone: 872.

The Republican State Convention meets next Wednesday in Atlanta for the purpose of electing delegates to the National Republican Convention, and attend to such other business as may come before it. The State Committee will meet on Tuesday. Everything points to a harmonious meeting. It is strange how the question of lynching and morals affect different races. A Negro accused—not found guilty' mind yon—of the "usual crime" against a white woman, if caught never lives to repeat it. On the contrary the member of the opposite race usually goes "scot free" and is emboldened either to attempt or commit the crime as often as he is disposed. A Just Judge. JUDGE EMORY SPEEK is one of the ablest representative of the Federal bench. He is broad minded and fearless in his views, and humane in his judgment. On the question of peonage, he said the following: In view of the political complexion of this question, to which somewhat veiled reference has been made, the court deems it appropriate to refer to the degrading and non-American effect of involuntary servitude upon every concern of self respecting people. Already protests are heard from organized labor and manufacturers against the baleful competition of convict-made goods; how much worse will be that competition with the labor of the peon. The first is manufactured under the control of the law, the other the will of the taskmaster, merciless, perhaps, as the Egyptian who drove the energies of the ancient people of God. "How can the farmer or manufacturer of turpentine and lumber, who labors for himself with the assistance of his sons or with hired help, hope for fair playing in the market when a huge sawmill in the vicinity or an unscrupulous planter with a stockade full of unpaid hands can underbid his prices? Why should one man, through lawless methods, be permitted to grow rich beyond the dreams of avarices while his neighbor, who piously respects the law and the rights of his fellowman, however humble, shall toil on, perhaps in poverty and want? The demoralization of the spectacle to the plastic mind of youth, the incalculable harm flowing from the triumphant defiance of the law, the reproach of the fair fame of our beloved state, all are involved in this supreme question. And what hope can the respectable negro have? What incentives to better effort or life if he, his wife, his daughters and sons may in a moment be snatched from his humble home and sold into peonage? "Let us for a moment put ourselves in his place and imagine the hopeless despair if our loved ones or ourselves were subjected to such a condition of involuntary servitude! "Nor if conditions like these described in the indictment shall continue will the negro remain the sole victim of peonage? Crime is ever progressive. Very many poor and ignorant white people, who are scarcely less helpless than negroes, may be, and cases already are reported where white men have been made victims of powerful and unscrupulous neighbors." District Convention. The convention of the Republicans of the Eleventh district was held at Waycross on Wednesday. The contest was on for the chairmanship and delegates to the National convention. It was a lively one, but the old guards maintained their popularity Mr E R Belcher was easily re-selected as chairman, and Judge W H Matthews and Mr S Mincey as delegates. The fight against them was bitter, but the people and some of the best workers in the district were with them, hence the victory, which is quite a blow to lily whiteism in the state. The victorious candidates are all well known in the state. A Worthy Institution. company is No. 20 State street, west first floor. The company can give employment to more young ladies. Local. Rev.

Good Friday services at St Stephen's church, Habersham between Harris and Macon streets: 7:30 a.m, 12 to 3 p.m, 8 p.m. For years the Good Friday services at this church have been quite a feature. It is a day that is held very sacred and solemnly observed by some Christians, why not by all? No matter to what church we belong, we can all gather around the cross of the crucified on Good Friday. Many business houses close on that day and vessels put their flags at half mast. The services from 12 to 3 is known as "The Three Hours Service" and marks the time that our Lord hung upon the cross. During this time addresses are delivered on the seven last words the Saviour uttered from the cross; all the hymns being in keeping with the occasion. No one is obliged to remain throughout the entire service if he can't. There are few who can't come for five or ten minutes at least. The service begins promptly at twelve and ends promptly at three. I extend a cordial invitation to Christians of every creed. All the seats are free. The story of the cross is sung at night. Faithfully Yours, Richard Bright, rector St. Stephen's Episcopal Church.

B. church held their regular monthly meeting on Sunday last at their hall Russell St. This branch has been organized since July 25, 1892, and has a financial roll of 155 members. Ever since its organization Deacon Mack Merchison has been president, and has proven by his precepts and examples that his life is worthy of emulation. He has won the confidence and respect of the members and they in turn surprised him on Sunday last by presenting him with a watch fob and an umbrella mounted with sterling silver with his initials. The presentation speech was made by Mrs. R. Ethel Wright. Deacon Merchison responded in pleasing words of thanks. Mrs. F. A. Merchison also spoke, and in her delivery made the branch feel that the gifts were much appreciated. St. James Dots. The services at St. James A. M. E. church last Sunday were well attended especially the night services Rev. J. A. Hadley preached at 11 a. m. Sunday School at 3 p.m. were well attended. At 8 p.m. Rev. Greene preached an interesting sermon. After a brief illness of about twenty-four hours, Mrs Julia R. Singleton passed away on Thursday of last week. Sister Singleton was a devout christian, a good church and Sunday School worker. She connected herself with this church soon after moving here. She was Miss Julia R Warnock until one year and one month ago she was united in holy wedlock in Beth-Eden Baptist church to Mr Chas. Singleton, who is an officer of that named church. They lived peacefully and happily together until death came in and disturbed the happy home. Hers was a peaceful death. She was willing to die. Her mother who was buried just three weeks to the day she died was seen lingering around the bed by her. She gave out the hymn "Father I stretch my hands to thee," and then called her mother and tried to make her sister see her mother who had come to take her back with her. Sister Singleton was well loved by all that came in contact with her. She was noted for her lovable character. While before the altar she layed in her beautiful white casket with a handsome canopy over it, Rev Hadley paid a beautiful and tender tribute to her memory. He spoke of her Christian fortitude, her love for the church and the many virtues she possessed as a Christian wife. His tender words brought tears to the eyes of many of those who heard him. Mrs. Singleton's popularity was attested and the many strong friendships were shown by the large number who attended her funeral, and the grave was covered with floral designs. The revival is meeting with success, many anxious souls are seeking the better life. Mr. Samuel Braswell quietly passed away after a brief illness. He was buried by the Odd-fellows and Knights. Rev J. A. Hadley officiated. He leaves a mother, one daughter and a wife to mourn his death. Mr. James Randolph was buried on Tuesday by the Odd fellows. Rev J. A. Hadley officiated. The second quarterly conference was held last night Rev R. M. S. Taylor P. E. presiding. The reports were good. To-morrow will be a greet day at St. James. The presiding elder will preach special sermons. At 3 p.m. there will be memorial services in honor of our seven departed ones. A special program have been prepared for the occasion. Baptist Union.

Miss Rose Hennessy, well known as a poetess and elocutionist, of Lexington, Ky. tells how she was cured of uterine inflammation and ovaritis by the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "DEAR MRS. PONTIAM—Five years I enjoyed the best of health and thought that I would always do so. I attended parties and receptions thinly clad, and would be suddenly chilled, but I did not think of the results. I caught a bad cold eighteen months ago while menstruating, and this caused inflammation of the womb and congested ovaries. I suffered excrelating pains and kept getting worse. My attention was called to your Vegetable Compound and the wonderful cures it had performed, and I made up my mind to try it for two months and see what it would do for me. Within one month I felt much better, and at the close of the second I was entirely well. "I have advised a number of my lady friends to use it, and all express themselves as well satisfied with the results as I was." "Miss Rosie Nona Hennessy, 410 S.

RESTORED TO HEALTH. Many weak, suffering women do not know that their kidneys are sick. Backache tells of sick kidneys, and so do urinary disorders. Sick kidneys make bad blood, and bad blood makes bad digestion, heart palpitation, dizzy headaches, nervousness, sleeplessness, sciatica, rheumatic pains and constant depression. A Can't be restored to health until the kid- neys are cured. Read how one woman was restored, by using Donan's Kidney Pills: Sickle, 311 6th Ave., S. W., Roanoke, Va., says "Kidney trouble was hereditary in our family, and I had been so continually afflicted with the disease that I began to despair of even temporary relief. Sometimes I suffered so severely that I was confined to my bed. The aching in my back was intense, and the kidney disorder caused an excess of uric acid in my blood which impaired my digestion. I was compelled to deny myself of many of the little delicacies of diet. The doctors diagnosed my case as congestion of the kidneys. I had about given up hope when I began using Doan's Kidney Pills, but I took only a few doses when their curative powers were proven to my satisfaction. I have never been without them in the house since." Donn's Kidney Pills are sold by all orders, price, 50, cents, or mailed or on the price by Foster-Millburn Co.

THE SHELLS THE CHAMPIONS SHoot. five. They Were Carried Through India and Sold to a Native Prince. The story of the Sorsian jewels must recall to the eximpress. Eugene's her own experiences when the waves first began to dash about her throne. She determined to sell the greater part of her jewels in hope to do something to save the dynasty. Publicity had to be avoided, and a market was not to be found in Europe, newly thrilled by the horrors of Sedan. The Empress booked to the East for a market. An Englishman was on his way home for a holiday. A telegram at Bomhay awaited him from one of the greatest European financial houses and informed him of the determination of the Empress. The difficulty had been to find a man with sufficient influence to be able to approach the princes of India in secret with a view to selling them the jewels. Not less hard was it to lay hands on the man who had moral strength sufficient to carry with him surreptitiously hundreds of thousands of pounds' worth of jewels in lands where the Queen's writ did not run, and where the protection of the constable is not immediately available. Every care had been taken to insure secrecy. The jewels had been taken to pieces; the gems removed from their settings; the lattie "jolated" to admit of their holding and belign worn around the waist of their bearer in a belt of soft leather. The Englishman put on the belt, armed himself with a trusty revolver, engaged a trusty servant, and set forth on his mission. For three months he, wandered over road, rail and river. The responsibility of his trust, the constant danger of discovery, the difficulty of disposing of his burden were worries that combined almost to kill him. At last he was successful. The jewels were sold to a prince who esteemed them the more for that they were the property of a distressed Empress. There would have been troubles, no doubt, had the matter been known at the India Office, but the man who discharged the undertaking afforded an example of courage and a solid worth in trying conditions which merit a place in the story of commercial integrity and disregard of personal danger. Far less exciting enterprises have served to make popular novels before now—St. James Gazette. "Eve's Apple Tree." A fruit supposed to bear the mark of Eve's teeth is one of the many botanical curiosities of Ceylon. The tree, on which it grows is known by the significant name of "the forbidden fruit," or "Eve's apple tree." The blossom has a very pleasant scent, but the regly, remarkable feature of the tree, the one to which it owes its name, is the fruit. It is beautiful, and hangs from the tree in a peculiar manner. Orange on the outside and deep crimson within, each fruit has the appearance of having had a piece bitter out of it. This fact, together with its poisonous quality, led the Mahometans to represent it as the forbidden fruit of the Garden of Eden, and to warn men against its noxious properties. A. DISTINCTION.
