VOL. XIX. DIRE CALAMITY ON WARSHIP! Powder Explosion on Missouri Wreaks Deadly Carnival. Twenty-nine Marines Hurled Into Eternity While Doing Target Practice Off Pensacola. A Pensacola, Fla., special says: By the explosion of 2,000 pounds of powder in the after 12-inch turret and in the handling room of the battle ship Missouri, Captain William S. Cowles, commanding, twenty-nine men were instantly killed and five injured, two of whom will die. The Missouri was on the target range with the Texas and Brooklyn at practice about noon when a charge of powder in the 12-inch lefthand gun exploded, igniting four charges of powder in the handling room, all exploded and only one man of the entire turret and handling crew survives. But for the prompt and efficient work of Capta'n William S. Cowles in flooding the handling room and magazine with water, one of the magazines would have exploded and the ship would consequently have been destroyed with every man on board. At the time of the explosion the fourth shot was being loaded and from indications the first half of the charge had been rammed home and the second section was being rammed home when gases from the shot previously fired or portions of th ecloth cover ignited the powder. The breech was open and a dull thud gave notice of something unusual. No loud report was made, but flames were seen to leap from every portion of the turret. A few seconds afterwards another explosion somewhat more fierce occurred. This was in the handling room below, where 1,600 pounds of powder or four charges ready to be holsted above and ignited. Three minutes after the explosion all were on deck and the surgeons from the Missouri, Texas and Brooklyn were attending to those not dead. The twenty-five men of the turret were found lying in a heap. They had started for the exit when the first explosion occurred and had just reached there when the more terrible explosion in the handling room occurred which burned and strangled them to death. Bodies Terribly Mangled. The booies were hardly recognizable, the terrible and quick fire having burnt clothing from the bodies of the men, and the flesh hung from them in shreds. The faces were mutilated by the smoke and flames. Only one man was breathing when the turret crew was rescued, and he died a moment after he reached deck. In less than five second after the first explosion two streams of water were being played in the rooms, and when volunteers were called for every man of the ship responded and were eager to go into the turrets and rescue the crew. The second explosion occurred near one of the magazines and so hot was the fire that the brass work of the magazines was melted. Smoke and the fumes of the burned powder made it almost impossible to enter either the turret or the handling room, but officers and men, with handkerchiefs over their faces, made efforts to rescue the men inside. Before the fumes of the burning powder had left the turret officers and men were in lifting the dying and dead men. STATEHOOD BILLS OPPOSED. Minority Report Filed in House by Tennessee Representative. Majority and minority views of the statehood bill, recently reported from the house committee on territories, were filed in the house Friday by Representatives Hamilton, of Michigan, and Moon, of Tennessee, respectively. Mr. Hamilton reviews the provisions of the bill at length and urges the necessity and justice of admitting the four territories as two states. The minority views are signed by Representatives Moon, Loyd, Robinson, of Indiana and Thayer. General Wood's Troops Forced to Slay Treacherous Filipinos After Peaceful Overtures Failed. The following, bulletin was posted at the war department, Washington, Monday: General Wood reports that he-invited Sultan Taraca to meet him at Vicars on March 31 for consultation and that the sultan refused to come and instead made extensive hostile preparations. Marching columns from Marshut and Vicars left on the 2d of April to assemble the cavalry. The Vicars' column was fired into about ten miles from Vicars and one enlisted man was seriously wounded. The Marshut column was strongly resisted at the mouth of the Taraca river, although every effort was made to accomplish a peaceful landing; two enlisted men were seriously wounded. The combined forces assembled in the valley on the 4th of April and a large number of fortified cottas were destroyed from April 4th to April 7th. The troops then returned to their proper stations. Newcomb, Company K, Seventeenth infantry, and Wampler, company D, Twenty-third infantry, were killed. Every effort was made to bring the Moros to terms peacefully, but in each instance our troops were attacked before firing a shot and force was only used when all peaceful methods failed and the enemy attacked us. The two chiefs who have been at the bottom of all the trouble on the east side of the Linao for two years are now in hiding, and they will be arrested if possible. General Wade, to whom General Wood's report was made and who transmitted it to the department, adds that the conditions in the Taraca valley for the last three months had been such as to render the above action absolutely necessary. A MOST, STRENUOUS STRIKE. Franklin Union's Labor War at Chicago Results in Murders. Another name has been added to the death roll that has distinguishe the progress of the Franklin Union's labor war on the International Association of Pressmen at Chicago. Roy Travis, an 18-year-old press feeder, being assaulted by Franklin Union pickets, drew his revolver and fatally wounded Michael Boland Monday. The strike of the union has been marked by one previous killing and nearly 100 assaults. Scores of cases of intimidation have been reported to the police and nearly 300 arrests followed. Fifteen Franklin union members were indicted by the December grand jury. The union, testimony showed, spent nearly $40,000 on the strike and in addition, was twice fined $1,000 for violating injunctions. Its officials were also fined and sent to jail by Judge Holdom. Now Judge Kohlsaat, in the federal court has granted a sweeping injunction against the organization. SKIRMISHES MARK RETREAT. Frequent Sharp Fights Occur Between Japa and Russians in Manchurla. An Associated Press dispatch of Monday from St. Petersburg says: Dispatches received from the Far East report constant skirmishing between the Japanese forces which have crossed the Yalu and the Russian outposts. The Russian, pickets, in obedience to instructions, fall back when hard pressed by the Japanese. Several of these skirmishes have been hotly contested, and there have been several casualties on both sides. It is no part of the Russian plan of campaign to bring on a general engagement at present. The Cossack detachments which form the advance guard have been ordered to harass the advancing Japanese in every way possible, but always to fall back when outnumbered. The house Monday passed the bill reported by the committee on rivers and harbors, appropriating $3,000,000 for the restoration or maintenance of channels, or of other river and harbor improvements. POPULISTS INDORSE HEARST. Party in Kansas Holds State Convention, But Fall to Name a Ticket. The Kansas populist state convention met in Topeka and adjourned without making any nominations. The delegates will meet Jn. Topeka on August 3, at which time an effort will be made to fuse with the democrats. A state convention of democrats will be held the same date. The resolution reaffirms allegiance to the last national platform, condemns the republican record in state and national affairs, and indorse William R. Hearst for president. SAVANNAH, GA. SATURDAY. APRIL 16. 1904. A JUSTICE INDICATED Is Charged With Conspiracy in an Extradition Case. A COMPLICATED TANGLE For Interference in Harden Affair an Atlanta J. P., an Attorney and a Deputy Sheriff Run Afoul of Your Uncle Sam. Charged with collusion and with interference with the service of extradition papers in the case of Charles Blazer, alias Leroy C. Harding, alias D. C. Ray, alias John R. Davis, Justice of the Peace Walter Ormond, Attorney W. H. Withers and Deputy Sheriff T. J. Jones were indicted by the United States grand jury at Atlanta Monday. Papers were served on the three defendants and bonds taken. The case will hardly come up for trial before next October. At different times it is said that Harding has been known by over twenty names. His real name, however, is declared to be Charles Blazer, and it was under this name that he is said to have committed the offense for which he was extradited from Florida. He is charged with cheating and swindling in Ohio, the particular offense being that he bought a quantity of jewels from a jeweler and gave a check on a bank which did not exist. Then he left, and it was not until two years later that his whereabouts became known. He was at that time in Tampa, Fla., and was under arrest by the United States authorities at that place charged with using the malls for fraudulent purposes. He was acquitted. The governor of Ohio issued a requisition on the governor of Florida, and the extradition papers were granted. He was at once taken in custody by Detective Dan Callahan, who had been sent from Cincinnati, Ohio, for this purpose, and the trip home began. When Atlanta was reached Callahan took the prisoner to the police station and left him there for the night. During the night, the prisoner, who said his name was Harding, claimed that he was being kidnapped by the Ohio detective, and enlisted the aid of several attorneys in the city. Judge Ormond was appealed to and issued a warrant for Callahan, charging him with kidnapping. The next morning when the detective went to the police station for the purpose of taking charge of the prisoner he was, arrested on the charge and carried before Judge Ormond. There he showed his requisition papers and the warrant was at once dismissed. Before Blazer could be taken from Atlanta another effort was made to give him his freedom. His attorneys swore out habeas corpus proceedings before Judge Calhoun, and Callahan was again summoned to protect himself and preserve his prisoner. Judge Calhoun refused to entertain the habeas corpus. Just as the trial was over Deputy Sheriff Jones appeared and placed Blazer under arrest on the charge of cheating and swindling, sworn out by Attorney Withers. The prisoner was taken to the police station, and there is was agreed that he should be turned over to Deputy Marshall Binard, representing the United States. Hardling was then taken from the police station, carried to the United States building and held there. Later Judge Newman advised that the prisoner belonged to Callahan, and that neither the state authorities nor the United States had any right to him. Therefore Deputy Marshal Binard turned over the prisoner to Detective Callahan, who hustled him into a mail car and left for Cinchinatl. Since that time news comes from Cincinnati that the prisoner has been positively identified by his prosecutors there, and by many, others who have known him for many years. BURLESQUE ON PRESIDENT. Roosevelt and Daughter Alice Depicted on Berlin Theatre Stage. Stage representations of President Roosevelt, and Miss Alice Roosevelt were introduced to a Berlin, Germany, audience entitled, "A Mad Year," at the Metropolitan theatre. The president was represented in Rough Rider costume, Miss Alice, with a decided American twang, excited, much amusement, but the police interfered and prevented the use of the name of Roosevelt. The management therefore substituted the names of Mr. and Miss Washington. Tribune. RESULT IN ALABAMA Comer Wins While Hobson Loses by Narrow Margin. Almost Complete Returns' from Primary Election Show Conclusively How the Strenuous Contest Ended. Alabama's primary election returns were all in Tuesday night excepting four or five counties and enough is known to show that Mr. Comer, for railroad commissioner, has carried the state by a decisive majority The people seem to have registered their determination to make it hot for the railroad interests, and whether the plan of state-regulation of railroad charges is proper, just or profitable, a long step toward bringing it about has been taken in the nomination of Mr. Comer. The other two members of the board of railroad commissioners will hold for two years longer, but Comer's election has demonstrated the temper of the voters of the state. Fortunes have been spent by candidates and opposing interests in the contest, the one in advertising his virtues, the other in scandal zing his opponent's record. The newspapers have recapted a rich harvest, one daily having earned more than $20,000 from publishing as advertising matter communicated booms and attacks. The primary must have cost the average candidate ten times as much as the old system would have cost. It requires more than $6,000 to send only one mimecographed signed letter to all of the registered voters in Alabama, and both sides in the railroad fight are alleged to have communicated with them several times. There was a great element of luck in the selection of six supreme court judges from among the eleven gentlemen who ran, and it is difficult to find anybody but a lawyer who can name the men he voted for the bench. Fortunately all of the state judicial aspirants were worthy, but it might have been otherwise. The returns indicate the election of Dowdell, Tyson, Haralson, Anderson, Sayre and Denson, the three first named being members of the present court. There was a hard contest in the sixth district for congress between Hobson and Bankhead and the campaign at times was hot and furious. Bankhead is conceded to have won out. Captain Hobson has added mesmeric oratory to his world-famous record, however, and has shown himself to be a campaigner of very extraordinary ability. The nomination in the seventh district was hotly contested between Lusk and Burnett, and much of a personal nature entered into the campaign. Burnett is the winner. In the second district Bibb Graves measured swords with A. A. Wiley. In the fifth district there were six candidates to fill the unexpired term of the late, Congressman Thompson and also for the full term beginning with the next congress. Hon. J. Thomas Heflin, present secretary of state, was the winner in this race. In the eighth Richardson was elected without opposition. In the first, third, fourth and ninth, now represented by Taylor, Clayton, Bowle and Underwood respectively, there was no opposition. Delegates were elected throughout the state to a state convention which will select the delegation to the national convention. The returns seem to indicate that an uninstructed delegation will be sent, although the gentlemen selected with likely have no leaning to either Cleveland, Bryan or Hearst. Congress Nearing the Close. April 28th has been discussed in committee rooms and among senators and representatives at Washington as not at all an improbable date for the termination of the present session of congress. LAWYER SEEKS NOTORIETY. Files Bill in Equity to Estop Building of Panama Canal. Warren B. Wilson, a lawyer of Chicago, filed in the district supreme court at Washington, Monday, a bill in equity for an injunction against Secretary Shaw, the republic of Panama, the new Panama Canal Company of France and others, to estop the construction of the Panama canal. He avers that there is no appropriation by law of any money for the payment of any of the construction expenses, declares that the act of June 28, 1888, is in violation of the constitution of the United States. NEW YORK REPUBLICANS instruct Delegates for Roosevelt and Sidetracked Resolution Against Disy franchisement Almed at South. The New York state republican delegate convention met in Carnegie half shortly afternoon Tuesday and after the usual preliminaries recessed until 4 o'clock. The session was devoid of contests. The speech of Senator Depew, the temporary chairman, dyed considerable applause, especially when he declared the certainty of Roosevelt's nomination and election. But one incident outside of the expected routine occurred and that was the introduction by Warner Miller of the Quay resolution demanding an investigation by congress of the alleged disfranchisement of negro voters in the southern states. It was the same resolution that the Pennsylvania senator introduced at the republican national convention in Philadelphia four years ago. It reads as follows: "The permanency of a republican government is based on a pure and free ballot. We are opposed to either its corruption by money or its limitation by depriving any citizen of the United States anywhere of the right to deposit his vote, except for causes permitted by the constitution. To this end we demand the protection and permanency of all civil and political rights of our citizens without discrimination as to race or color. We ask congress to make inquiry whether any state has limited for any cause the elective franchise, and if so limited, that the number of its, representatives in congress be limited in proportion to the number of voters in the disfranchised part of the fourteenth amendment, also that the fifteenth amendment is in no way violated indirectly or by subterfuge." Without debate it was referred to the committee on resolutions, which at its session during the recess declined to incorporate in the platform, which contained a clause covering the subject. The platform reaffirms the devotion of the republicans of New York to and confidence in the principles of the party. In an endorsement of President Robsovelt the platform says: "We commend Theodore Roosevelt for the fearlessness and good judgment with which he entered upon the solution of problems of social economy and government. We recognize the rare, capacity he has exhibited in meeting all the requirements of his great office. We realize that his official acts has justified the public confidence which is the fundamental factor of his popularity. "Accordingly we indorse the administration of Theodore Roosevelt. Believing in his loyalty to the principles of the republican party, relying on his devotion to the interests of American citizens and confiding in his wisdom, his courage and his statesmanship, we hereby direct that the delegates this day chosen use all honorable means to bring about his nomination for president at the national convention to be held in June." The president's action touching the Panama canal is indorsed and the principle of a protective tariff upheld while the freedom of the ballot without discrimination as to race or color is demanded. Delegates at large were named as follows: Thomas C. Platt, alternate J. Sloat Fassett; Senator C. M. Depew, alternate Louis Stern; Governor B. B. Odell, Jr., alternate Erastus' C. Knight; Frank S. Black, alternate H. C. Browster SCOTT FURNISHES PROOF. Negro Question Comes to the Front Again in House of Representatives. A Washington dispatch says: The negro question came to the front in the house again Tuesday, a long address being made by Mr. Scott, of Kansas, in reference to previous statements, by him that Mr. Cleveland when president, entertained a Kansas negro politician named Taylor. Mr. Scott read several extracts from letters he had received from persons in Kansas and elsewhere which he said, would make it clear that the statement made by him was not a fabrication. POSTAL WIRES ARE CUT. Western Union Telegraph People at Savannah Start a Merry War. Monday, the Western Union started a crusade against the Postal Telegraph Company in Savannah. Manager- Peebles of the Western Union, took a force of Tmeemen and cut down the wires from the Western Union poles, on which they had been strung. This cut out an important sub-station of the Postal and destroyed three circuits. An appeal was made to the city authorities, but found it was unsupported by any ordinance. Battleship Strikes a Mine and Quickly Goes to Bottom. Vice Admiral Mokaroff and Nearly His Entire Crew Went Down With Fated Vessel An Associated Press dispatch from St. Petersburg says: Official telegrams from Port Arthur state that the Russian battle ship Petropavlovsk has been sunk off the entrance to the harbor. It is estimated that eight hundred men lost their lives by the destruction of the ship. Among those who were drowned were vice Admiral Makaroff, the commander of the Russian naval forces in the Far East. So far as known only four of the officers were saved, among them being the Grand Duke Cyril, first officer of the vessel, who was wounded. As the Japanese fleet approached, Vice Admiral Makaron ordered his whole squadron out of the harbor to meet the attack. According to the Associated Press informant, while preparing to draw up his line of battle in the outer roadstead, the Petropavlovks struck mine on her starboard side, amdship, and immediately began to heel. Before the crew could flood the compartments of the vessel in order to keep her on an even keel, she turned bottom up and sank in a few minutes, carrying down almost the entire crew. Captain N. Jakovloff, the Grand-Duke Cyril and two other officers were saved because they were standing on the upper bridge. The frightful loss of life among the officers and men was due to the fact that they were at their stations ready for action. The Petropavlovsk turned turtle in a manner similar to the British-battle ship Victoria, which was rammed by, the Camperdown in 1893, and to the incident in the Chino Japanese war, when a Chinese warship turned turtle, many of the crew remaining alive for several days, hammering desperately on the upturned hull. The correspondent of the Associated Press was informed Wednesday afternoon that Grand Duke Boris was going to accompany his brother to Mukden. According to the advices received, Grand Duke Cyril's injuries were slight. Report Received by Czar. The following dispatch was received in St. Petersburg from Rear Admiral Grigovitch, the commandant at Port Arthur, addressed to the emperor: "Port Arthur, April 13.—The Petropavlovsk struck a mine, which blew her up, and she turned turtle. Our squadron was under Golden Hill. The Japanese squadron was approaching. Vice Admiral Makaroff evidently was lost. Grand Duke Cyril was saved, He is slightly injured. Captain Jakov loor was sayed, though severely injured, as were five officers and thirty two men, all more or less injured. "Rear Admiral Prince Ouktomsky has assumed command of the fleet. GEORGIA SCHOOL OFFICIALS To Hold Annual Meeting in Dublin. Splendid Program Arranged. County school superintendents all over Georgia will be interested in the program of the annual meeting of the county school officials, of the state, which is to be held in Dublin on May 5, and 6. This program has just been perfected and given out by the state school commissioner. The various subjects and the list of those who will discuss them is enough to prove that the meeting will be of great value to those interested in this line of work. PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY, BY THE TRIBUNE PUBLISHING CO. 114 W. St. Julian Street. Ga. Phone 574. SATURDAY APRIL 16, 1904. ALL injustice inflicted upon our people should the more cause them to act for self betterment. Oppen men are spending a fortune each week in the dirty bar rooms that infest Market Square. Let them stop and consider. SPEND your money only, with those persons who treat you courteously. Let the others feel that you do not stand for bad treatment. A LARGE percentage of the citizens were shocked at the charge and sentence of the female help of a white family who attempted to seperate two white boys while fighting. In this case in the boasted assertion that the South treats the Negro justly, applicable? . . Some time ago the Ministers' Evangelical Union was to have a report and discussion on the "Baneful influence of the loan offices." This was deferred indefinitely. The citizen us would like to know the reason of its being deferred as it is a vital question and nothing should be done in not showing up its banefulness and our people encouraged to stop patronizing such places. It is the opinion of everybody that ex-President Cleveland "spoke too quick" when he declared that he did not entertain Fred Donglass or C. H. J. Taylor, at the White House, nor signed a bill while governor, for a mixed school in New York. Facts have been brought out to prove that all of these things have been done by Cleveland. He was looked upon as being a broad, minded man and above petty race feeling, but going out the way to deny facts has caused his belittlement in the sight of many. The other night a white man attempted to practice social equality with a female member of our race. The male friend of the woman objected; the white man is in his grave to-day. We do not condone the murder of the white man, but it should be a lesson to the other ones who would "turn up" their nose at our people in public, but, under cover practice social, equality. The women, who are concerned in such are despised by the better element of our people, and the white men should be dealt with severely. The Charlesston Messenger, published in the interest of Jenkins' Orphanage, objects to the selection of Rev. G. A. Goodwin of this state to the place at Benedict. College made vacant by Rev. Gilbert's call to New York. It is very bad grace upon the part of the Messenger to be against a man simply because he is not a South Carolinian. Where worth and ability are concerned nativity should not be considered. If attention would be paid to state lines Jenkins' Orphanage would not be securing the aid it now receives. The Messenger should go slow along that line. THE leaders among us must be mindful of those things that are tending to destroy the usefulness of our people, especially the younger ones. There are many dangers that beast our boys and girls, dangers that all of us who have the interest of the race at heart should endeavor to destroy. One of the main evils is the dance halls that infest the city. To these places many of the young of our race flock each night and there they are destroyed. Members of the opposite race would not for a moment tolerate places of the kind and our indignation should take such form as to cause these places to be closed. Some time ago the city refused to give license for such places, but recently a free hand has been given in that direction. Along this line many of our churches are to be blamed for the tendency of our young people to visit these "free and easy" many of them would turn a member out for dancing, yet would give an entertainment, have music and allow dancing of every kind. The pastors, officers and members of these churches allowing this kind of entertainment should be consistent and not allow the making of a few dollars to thwart their religious principles. We know of, but two churches that have given entertainments other than in their buildings and dancing was not tolerated or had in any form. The other churches having rules against dancing should likewise, and their pastors should have the same amount of backbone, that especially one of the prominent and popular pastors has displayed in declaring and not accepting money raised from any form of entertainment where dancing was allowed. In this, community there are several weekly benefit and insurance companies doing business, especially among our people. Four of these are managed by our people, the Union Benefit, the Beneplants of Virginia, the Metropolitan and the Guaranty Aid. The Guaranty Aid and Union Benefit are home institutions. There is room among the 32,000 colored people of this city, for all of them to do a prosperous business. The attention of our people is called to their claima and they are urged to support each one of them. The benefits of these companies compare favorably with those of the whites and some of them even offer greater benefits than the whites. With these institutions there is no reason whatever for our people, especially the poorer ones, to be in need when they are sick, or for relatives to worry for money for their loved ones-burial, if they would only join and pay a small amount each week. At the recent Republican State convention a committee was appointed to report upon a state ticket. The committee did not agree at the time the convention adjourned, but power was given to the State Committee to receive the report and ask. The sentiment prevails that if suitable men can be induced to accept the nomination, a full ticket will nominated. THERE is an element in the Republican party of this state with a desire to rule or ruin, and the latter they will attempt. They are mainly inexperienced in politics and of a sensational turn. The rank and file of the party understand them and they will be treated according to their worth. VARDAMAN, the governor of Mississippi, seems anxious to protect the life of a man from lynchers, and in that he is commended for his humane feeling, but when it comes to assisting a colored man in securing an education, he balks. This governor has proven himself to be nonprogressive. Our Southern representatives in Congress and the daily papers in this section constantly acclaim that full justice is given the colored man in the South. In part the assertions are true, but recent events in the courts of this county have caused greater doubt to exist. Among the companies of the First Battallion none has a higher standing than the Lincoln Guards Co. E. located at Macon under command of Capt. S. A. Lockhart. At a recent inspection the company turned out with its entire enlisted and commissioned strength. Its drill, records and appearance elicited the praise of all those who witnessed the inspection. Capt. Lockhart, Lieutts. Thomas and Spivey, along with the non-commissioned officers and enlisted men received much praise for the standing of the company. The daily papers of Macon spoke highly of the company. Capt. Lockhart has cause to feel proud of his boys. AMONG THE CHURCHES. Notes From Our City Churches. EVANGELIOAL MINISTERS UNION.

The training of the young mind was succinctly portrayed in the morning sermon and at night plain facts were given those of a maturer mind. A repitition of such sermons would awaken a large class of our people to their full duty and much good would be a resultant thereof.

Article on the Beach In the March number of The American Missionary an interesting "write up" of the Beach Institute of this city, was published. It is from the pen of Prof. George B. Hurd, its principal. Prof. Hurd has proven himself to be zealous in the work and energetic in his endeavors to make it foremost in its class. He is well liked by the patrons of the school who are willing to assist him in his work. In his article Prof. Hurd spoke of the organization of the Beach by the American Missionary. Association in 1867 with six hundred students. The article said in part: "With sufficient teachers to care for them suitably, there is a natural pupilage of one hundred in this city alone for the normal classes. The excellent public schools seem to suggest at first that the real need of the grade work is past. But this is not true yet. The public colored schools have from sixty to seventy-five children in each of their lower grade rooms, and yet allowing for private grade schools, there are now nearly three thousand colored children here without school privileges. This clearly shows that it is not time to drop the lower grade work yet." The article is illustrated with a cut of the Beach, views in Forsyth Park, Bonaventure, and the frontispiece of the book with a glimpse down Bull street looking south. Some of the prominent colored citizens are mentioned, along with the work they are doing. The Beach has done great good in this community. Many of the teachers of the public schools are among its graduates and also a number of well known residents of both sex. The Beach has a peculiar hold on this community. It has done great work for the uplifting of our people and is destined to do greater work, especially if the services of the present principal are continued and he given encouragement in the plans he has to further it. An Uplifting Affair. The "bazaar of days" of St. Stephen's Church, was the event of the week. It was a success socially and financially. It was elevating and entertaining; such an entertainment that tends to uplift rather than dwarfing the morals of our young people. Business League Merting.

Johnson, editor and manager of the great TRIBUNE, Savannah, Ga. My dear sir and friend: I have been on the go most of the time since I was in your city which I shall never forget. Your genial Savannah friends certainly gave me a royal time, and Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Sherman never tired of entertaining me, and the great big hearted editor out did himself in crowning the good time for me. I had another big time in Atlanta at the state convention. While in Atlanta I was royally entertained by Rev. and Mrs. A. W. Hawkins. They know their business. I was also entertained lavishly at 23$ Hilliard street by Mr. and Mrs. E.A. Beasley. I was also invited to the palatial home of that eminent physician and Christian gentleman, Dr. H. R. Blutler, but could not go on account of time. I can never forget these good people. The Knights of Pythias did themselves credit in Hawkinsville on last Sunday. They met at the Baptist church at 3 p.m. and a very fine program. The new court of Calanthe recently organized by Sir Knight F. M. Cohen of Savannah, turned out with the Knights. Rev. S. M. Cook delivered a very fine sermon that was timely and appropriate. Mrs. Lila Hamilton rendered a very fine solo and the speech of the day was made by the writer. Dr. W. W. Este is doing himself credit as C. C. of Stringer Lodge No. 25 K. of P.

Glover, Vice-President Milwaukee, Wis., Business Woman's Association, is another one of the million women who have been restored to health by using Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "Dear Mrs. Pinkham," I was married for several years and no children blessed my home. The doctor said I had a complication of female troubles and I could not have any children unless I could be cured. I tried to cure me, but after experimenting for several months, my husband became disgusted, and one night when we noticed the testimonial of a woman who had been cured of similar trouble through the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, he went out and bought a bottle for me. I used your medicine for three and one-half months, improving steadily in health, and in twenty two months a child came. I cannot fully express the joy and thankfulness that is in my heart. Our home is a different place now, as we have something to live for and all the credit due to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Yours very sincerely, Miss L.C. Glover, 414 Grove St., Milwaukee, Wis."

A man in Philadelphia who had been proverbially fretful and insulting to the barber who shaved him, and whose only excuse was that he was very nervous, was finally led to relieve his uncomfortableness by counting the number of strokes that it took to shave him. To his great surprise he found that it took 459 strokes to shave him when he was fairly calm and more when he was in a more nervous mood. The barber informed him that he had frequently shaved men so restless and nervous that it took nearly 600 razor strokes to shave them, and no thanks at that. The gentleman has been counting the strokes over since, and by this simple device has greatly benefitted his nervous system to the great delight of his faithful barber. There is no single remedy for nervousness so effectual as counting—Eryton It Was Also Salt. A burly old skipper and his mate went into a restaurant at Southampton, says the Inglanook, and ordered a "table dott" dinner. The waiter, with considerable flourish, placed a plate of thin, watery-looking liquid before each of them. "Hi, me lad, wot's this stuff?" shouted the captain, gazing in amazement at the concoction under his nose. "Soup, slr.," replied the waiter. "Soup!" shouted the old sea-dog. "Soup, Bill," turning to his mate; "just think of that!' Ere's you and me been sailin' on soup all our lives and never knew it till now." FITS permanently cured.

Many accidents and even deaths are due to its use as a material for wrappers. A mere spark will set it afame. Once started, the +fire cannot be checked, as flannelette (burns) with great rapidity. It is especially dangerous for children, who are powerless to help themselves in case of fire. VARIETY IN VEGETABLES. A picasant change in the dinner menu can be made by cooking the same vegetable in different ways. For instance, carrots cut in, disc-shaped pieces and served with a rich, white sauce are delicious. The same dish may be changed by adding a liberal covering of bread or mustard cracker crumbs and browning in the oven for a few minutes. This plan may be followed with a number of different vegetables. TO WHITEN SCORCHED LINEN. Put into a pan three ounces of fuller's earth, one ounce of soap, the juice of three large onions, and one and a half breakfast cupfuls of vinegar, boll all these ingredients together to the consistency of paste; spread the composition thickly over the damaged parts, and if the threads be not actually burnt, every trace of scorching will disappear after it has been allowed to dry on, and the place has subsequently been washed once or twice. A PRETTY BEDROOM If bedroom furniture is old and shabby, a clever woman can make it look fresh and attractive with a coat of enamel. Nothing is prettier for the sleeping apartment than white, and a dainty room can be made by having all the furniture, woodwork, picture frames and boxes painted with white enamel, then cover your cushions with a pretty little rosebud spotted muslin, with curtains, bed spread and dresser covers of the same. You will find that with very little trouble and small expense you can make a fairy bower that anyone might envy you. A HANDSOME DRAPE Sometimes the only way to get a plano suitably into a room is to turn it with the back facing out, and then comes the question of a suitable drape or decoration for the back of it. A very bright woman has thought of a way out of the difficulty. You can purchase in almost any shop one of those old fashioned red felt table covers, stamped in an all-over design of black. Follow these lines with a gold cord and fill in the spaces between with gay embroidery silk done in overlapping stitch. This gives a very Japanese effect. It is finished by cutting off the border or not, as you choose, and slipping in its place if you do, one of black moire silk. This, of course, makes it very handsome, but it fits the purpose just as well without this extra trouble and expense. FOOD ADULTERATIONS. An actual breakfast in a workingman's family in Indianapolis was analyzed by the State Board of Agriculture and only one of the seven articles of which it consisted, namely, the potatoes, was found to be normal. These and the bread were the only articles not colored, and the bread, which was soggy and insufficiently baked, contained glucose and malt extract. The other articles were annalyzed as follows: Fried Sausage—Colored, like the greater proportion of sausages on the market, with annaline red and adulterated with about ten per cent, of flaked corn grits: Apple Butter—Colored with annaline red and loaded with glucose. Butter—Colored with azo—dye—and adulterated with water. This butter contained twenty-seven per cent. of water; the legal standard is not to exceed fifteen per cent. of water. Coffee—The coffee had been glazed with a glazing mixture composed of dextrine and starch, colored with brown aniline dye. Gravy—Made of flour, milk and drip from the colored and adulterated sausage. HOUSEHOLD RECIPES Rice Cakes—Beat two eggs until light; add one pint of milk and two cupfuls of cold boiled rice, one-table-spoonful of salt and one cupful of flour; in which mixed two level teaspoonfuls of baking powder; beat thoroughly and bake on a hot griddle. Chancellor's Pudding—Cut a roll in thin slices, well butter a mold, and stick raisins, stoned and opened, all around it. Put the bread lightly in and pour on it a sweet batter of three or four eggs, flavored. Let it soak well, bake or steam an hour. Sponge cake instead of bread is nicer.

Mix ingredients and moisten with the milk, and warmed molasses. Put into buttered mold and steam three hours. Serve with lemon sauce. TRICKS OF "CHAMPION FAINTER." One of His Most Successful Was to Falint in Presence of Wedding Party. A fraud on a lady has just come to light on the details of which much time and care must have been expended, and yet the profits amounted only to 3s. A man, who described himself as a ship's mechanic, called on the lady at her residence at Putney. He displayed a most intimate knowledge of the family, and stated that two sisters had been found in a berth on a German liner addressed to her two brothers, who were in Australia. He said that he had been to the London office of these gentlemen, the addresses of whom he mentioned, and added that he had been told to call on her, as a telegram, had come asking for the letters to be forwarded at once. He said that the third mate of the liner had the letters, and gave the lady an address in Hamburg to write to. He added that his expenses had been 3s, which the lady, gave him, promising to communicate with him later. Inquiries afterward proved that there was no such third mate and no such liner. It is perhaps due to universal education that frauds of this nature are increasing, as opposed to crimes of violence. There is one man, for example, known as the "champlin fainter." He never asks for money, he merely faints on your doorstep. He is almost invariably taken in and given a good meal, and in many cases money is pressed upon him. One of his feats was to faint outside a house in which a wedding party was assembled. He was tenderly looked after, was given champagne, and wished the newly married pair good luck in a neat speech. A man who lived on his wits noticed that lamps were being used in a house, while all the others in the row were burning gas. He deduced that something had gone wrong with the meter, and called early next morning "from the company." Under his directions the family distributed themselves in the various rooms ready to apply matches to the burners at a signal, while he stood at the meter. Experiment after experiment ended in failure and the family were moved from room to room, while the "gasman" made the most of his opportunities. He eventually left with a good haul, and instructions to wait until he sent the workmen—London Mail. HOWLING SUCCESS. "And was the Money—Title wedding a success, judged from the latest standards?"

Read The kidney warnings are serious — they tell you that they are unable to filter the body's waste and poison from the blood — the sewers are clogged and impurities are running wild to impregnate nerves, heart, brain and every organ of the body with disease elements. Doan's Kidney Pills are quick to soothe and strengthen sick kidneys, and help them free the system from poison. Read how valuable they are, even in cases of long standing. L. C. Lovell, of 415 North First St., Spokane, Wash., says: "I have had trouble from my kidneys for the past ten years. It was caused by a strain to which I paid little attention. But as I neglected the trouble it became worse and worse until any strain or a slight cold was sure to be followed by severe pain across my back. Then the action of the kidney secretions became deranged and I was caused much annoyance, besides loss, of sleep. Donn's Kidney Pills were brought to my notice, and after taking them a short time their good effect was apparent. All the pain was removed from my back and the kidney secretions became normal. Donn's Kidney Pills do all that is claimed for them." A FREED TRIAL of this great remedy which cured Mr. Lovell will be mailed on application to any part of the United States.

One of the most timely and interesting lectures he ever delivered was his recent lecture on the blood impurities of spring. The doctor said in substance that every spring the blood is loaded with the effect of immulations in it, arranging the digestion, producing sluggishness of the liver, overtaxing the kidneys, interfering with the action of the bowels and the proper circulation of the blood. This condition of things produces what is popularly known as spring fever, spring ailment, nervous exhaustion, that tired feeling, blood thickening and many other names.
