DEATH'S AWFUL HARVEST VOL. XIX. DEATH'S AW SIXTY=TWO LIV IN FRIGHTFUL ON SOUTHER UNSOLVED MYSTERY Engineer Hal Plain Orders as to Meeting Place But Rushed on to Disaster. Scenes Appalling and Hearrending. One of the first disasters in the history of southern railroading occurred on the Knoxville division of the Southern railway Saturday morning. Two trains carrying heavy lists of passengers came together in a nightful head end collision near Hodges, Tenn., sending fifty-four people to death and injuring 120, several of whom died in the relief trains and in the Knoxville hospital, swelling the list to sixty-two. This apalling loss of life and maiming of the living resulted apparently from the unregarding of orders given to the two trains to meet at a station which has for a long time bean their regular meeting point. The claim of failure to see either the station or signals could not be set up by the engineer of the westbound train were alive to enter a plea of defense, as the incident happened in broad daylight and according to the best information obtainable he had the orders in a little fran in front of him as his monster of iron and steel rushed by New Market and soon after came upon an eastbound passenger train making for New Market, in compliance with instructies, to meet the westbound train with carried the sleepers from the est for Knoxville, Chattanooga and over southern cities. Thepossibility exists that the ill-fated engineer may have been asleep or the sudden death had taken the eight from his eyes before New Market was reached. But nothing is known save that the orders were not obeyed. The trains were on time and not taking over thirty-five miles an hour yet the impact as they rounded a curve and came suddenly upon each other was frightful. Both engines end the major portions of both trains were demished, and why the orders were disarranged or misinterpreted probably ill never be known, as the engineers of the two trains were crushed, the bodies remaining for hours under the wreckage of the monster locomoyes. te trains were turning a sharp curve when they met, and the west-bond train seemed to jump over the entrance of the eastbound train. Two coaches were crushed on the east-bond train between the baggage car or sleepers. In one coach only one prison escaped with his life. At 9 o'clock Saturday night it was down that fifty-nine lives had been it and 120 persons injured, according to reports at the Knoxville hospital, to which institution all the serious injuries were taken. Workers at the cene of the wreck had at that hour recovered all the bodies except those if the enginemen and the passengers whose lives were crushed out in the smoker of the castbound train. The colllision occurred between eastbound passenger No. 12 and westbound passenger No. 15. from Bristol. No. 12 was a heavy train, carrying three Pullmans, two day coaches and President to Act on Suggestion of Inter-Parliamentary Union. President Roosevelt announced Saturday afternoon that at an early date he would ask the nations of the world to join in a second congress at The Hague for the promotion of arbitration. The occasion of the announcement was the reception by the president of the delegates of the Inter-Parliamentary Union which recently held a session at St. Louis and adopted a resolution requesting the president to call such a conference. a mall and baggage car. No. 15 is a light local train. The greatest loss of life occurred in the heavy eastbound train. The trains were to have passed at New Market, but Engineer Kane, ran through that place without stopping and had gone nearly two miles when the collision occurred. Helicopter trains were dispatched from Knoxville within an hour. All physicians in the vicinity of the wreck were using what they could in the meantime. Horror Indescribable. John W. Brown, of Rogefsville, Tenn., a newspaper man, tells a most graphic story of the wreck. He was in the rear coach of the westbound train and had no intimation of the wreck until the terrible crash came, accompanied by a fearful jolt. All the seats in the car were torn loose by the momentum and people and seats were hurtled to the front end of the car. When he recovered from the shock he heard the screams and groans of the dying and injured coming from the front of the train. "I left the car," said Mr. Brown, "as soon as I could and walked to the main part of the wreck. It was the most horrible sight I ever witnessed in my life. I saw a woman pinioned by a piece of split timber which had gone completely through her body. A little child, quivering in death's agony, lay beneath the woman. I saw the child die, and within a few feet of her lay a woman's head, while the decapitated body was several feet away. Another little girl, whose head was fearfully mashed, was pitifully calling for her mother. I have since learned that she was Lucile Connor, of Knoxville, and that both her parents were killed in the wreck. "I heard one woman, who was terribly mangled, praying carnestly to be spared for her children, but death relieved her suffering in a few minutes. "It was the most horrible, tragic scene I ever witnessed. Both engines and all the coaches of No. 15 were literally demolished, the smoker and baggage car completely so. The sleepers remained on the track undamaged. "The scene around the wreck begs description. Both engines lay to the north of the track, jammed together in one mass of indescribable ruin. The cars which were demolished, were piled on the wrecked engines I saw women, who were perfectly frantic, trying to find their husbands or children who were buried in the wreck. I saw one woman discover her sister lying in a dying condition, and I never heard such frantic screams as she gave when she made the discovery. Forty-eight bodies were counted before I left for Knoxville." The death list had grown Sunday night sixty-two, and it will probably exceed seventy, as many of the injured are in serious condition, and more deaths will occur at the Knoxville hospital. Sunday there were six deaths at the institution, the last one occurring at S o'clock Sunday night, when M. P. Gant, a prominent North Carolinian, residing at Shelby, N. C., passed away. Others who died during the day at the hospital were the two colored firemen, two little girls and a colored man, of Johnson City, Tenn. To the corrected list of dead there must be added an unknown infant found at the scene of the wreck and two other unidentified bodies. Nothing has developed to change the previously stated opinion that the wreck was due to the failure of the westbound engineer to read his orders correctly. One Sad Incident of Frightful Wreck Brought to Light. A telegram was received at Gaffney, S. C., Saturday, announcing the death of Mr. Lee Hill at Jellico, Tenn., who was killed in an explosion in a powder mill. The corpse was expected at Gaffney Saturday night, but instead a telegram was received that the corpse, accompanied by Mr. Scott Hill, his father; Lee Hill's wife and four children and a single gister, was on the ill-fated Southern train which was wrecked and that all the parties were killed.

DROWNED IN FILTH PLUNGED INTO CESSPOOL While Frolicking in Outhouse on School Grounda Floor Caved In and Revolting Catasprophé Occurred. An appalling horror closed the public school at Pleasant Ridge, a village seven miles north of Cinchnutti, Friday, with the first quarter of the session, when nine, possibly ten school girls were suffocated in a vault during the forenoon recess, and over a score of others narrowly escaped the same horrible death. During the rest of the day the little tbwn was wild with mingled excitement, sorrow and indignation, and those openly charging the calamity to official negligence are making serious threats. On opposite sides of the spacious ground in the rear of the school building ar etwo outhouses. When recess was given, about thirty of the smaller girls, all from the primary grades, were in the outhouse assigned to them, when suddenly the floor gave way, precipitating them into a vault of filth. This vault is twelve feet deep and walled up with stone like a well. There was four feet of water or filth that would have been over the heads of the girls falling in it singly, but those falling foremost filled up the vault partially, so that others were not entirely submerged. The girls fell eight feet from the flooring before striking the filth, and the struggles of those who were on top kept at least nine underneath until they were dead. The frame sheds over these vaults were about twenty feet square, without windows, and only one narrow doorway, so that only one little girl escaped from the door. She ran into the school building and told the teachers what had happened. The teachers were soon reinforced by the entire population of the town. Those able to climb out on the ladders themselves were rescued by Principal Simmerman, who finally fainted. Then others went into the vault and brought dead bodies from the fifth until the vault was cleared. The firemen drained the vault so as to be sure that the rescue was complete. Those engaged in the rescue work recite the most ghastly experiences. Even those rescued alive presented such an appearance as to make many in the crowd of spectators faint, but the sight within the vault beggared all description. The children who were on top of the writhing mass were rescued first. While they were getting out of the vault their feet crowded relentlessly down on others who were meeting with a most agonizing death in the fifth. It was noticed that the older ones were on top and rescued. The importunities of friends, especially of the weeping mothers, were almost beyond the control of the officers. Dr. U. G. Senour and P. J. Shank, with their assistants, used the school building for a hospital and a morgue until after the dead and the rescued were taken to their homes. Reports about the floor having given away last year are denied by the school trustees. They state that the floors were repaired during the summer vacation and nothing was wrong. Janitor Smith states that he had told members of the board that the place was not safe. Coroner Weaver had the wrecked girders preserved. It is claimed that as soon as they were dried out that the timbers were found to be rotten, and it is reported that one of them was spliced. Crashes Into Wagon on Crossing and Dreadful Explosion Results. Fast freight No. 24, on the Baltimore and Ohio road, struck a wagon loaded with 750 pounds of dynamite at the crossing at North Brancon, W.Va., four miles east of Cumberland, Md., Friday afternoon. Two persons were killed and nine were injured, three of them seriously. James Laing, who drove the wagon, escaped with only trivial injury, as did the two horses, although the latter were blown fifty yards into a field. According to dye witnesses, Laing, hearing the train, became terrified, and stopped on the track. The engine was overturned and stripped and seven cars followed, loaded with high grade merchandise, were broken, several being demolished. Massachusetts Justice Ready to Apologize for Fining a Member of the British Effbassy. A Washington special says: The state department has called on the department of justice to take action in case of Hugh Gurney, third secretary of the British embassy, who was fined by Justice Phelps, of Lee, Mass., for contempt of court and for speeding his automobile. It is expected Attorney General Moody will send a special district attorney to Lee to investigate the matter. A dispatch from Boston says: A telegram from Washington bearing on the fining of Third Secretary Gurney, of the British embassy, by Judge Phelps, at Lee, Mass., was received at the executive department at the state house Tuesday. The dispatch was received by Lieutenant Governor Guild, who, in the absence of Governor Bales, at once coiffed with Assistant Attorney General Nash. When the conference was concluded the lieutenant governor at once sent dispatches to Acting Secretary of State Adee, at Washington, who signed the telegram from the state department sent. Judge Phelps at Lee. The telegram from the state department was as follows: "Hon. John L. Bates, Governor of Massachusetts, Boston: British embassy informs me that Mr. Gurney, third secretary of that embassy, charged with driving, automobile at excessive speed, was arrested by deputy sheriff and taken, after entering protest, under threats of force, to the court at Lee, when, in spite of the protests, he was sentenced by H. C. Phelps, special justice of the Lee police court, to pay a fine of $25, and on his declaring that he could not admit the right of the court to sentence him another fine of $25 for contempt of court and to go to prison if he did not pay. "Section 4063, revised statutes of the United States, declares that any writ or process issued out or prosecuted by any person in any state court or judge or justice whereby the person of any public minister of a foreign state is arrested or imprisoned, shall be deemed void. "Section 4064 declares that any person obtaining or prosecuting such writ or process, and every officer concerned in executing it, shall be deemed violator of the law of nations and subject to imprisonment and fine. I have to request that you take such action as may be proper in this case. The telegram from Acting Governor Guild was as follows: "H. C. S. Phelps, Special Justice, Lee, Mass.: The following telegram is received from the state department at Washington: (Here is given the dispatch of Acting Secretary Adee). "The assistant attorney general informs me that if the facts are as stated above, you have, in your endeavor to enforce the laws of Massachusetts for the security of life upon our highways, committed in this particular case a grave breach of international law. May I ask you to telegraph me at once if Mr. Gurney was arrested and fined in spite of protests. "Other channels of redress are open in case of the violation of Massachusetts' laws by the diplomatic representatives of other nations. Therefore, if a fine was imposed and collected, the commonwealth must apologize. The fine must be remitted, and I need not suggest to one so respected as you the personal amende that you will, of course, desire to make to Mr. Gurney for the error in method adopted by your court in this unusual case. Kindly forward me affidavit of the evidence of any breach of Massachusetts laws." Justice Phelps was averse to discussing the Gurney case. "If I find that I have made a mistake I will gladly apologize," he said. "I did only what I believed to be right." COTTON GROWERS ASSEMBLE. More Than Five Hundred in Attendance on Convention at St. Louis. More than 500 cotton men attended the convention of the southern cotton growers, which met in the Palace of Agriculture at St. Louis, Monday. Representatives were present from all the cotton producing states. The purpose of the convention, was to discuss ways and, means for the future handling of the crop, and to perfect arrangements for financing the cotton in their hands so as to secure a slower and more uniform movement of the staple in the markets. Populist Candidate Breaks Down While Speaking. Collapse Came While Addressing Audience at Jackson, Mississippi. Though He Persisted in Finishing His Speech. A special from Jackson, Miss., says: Thomas E. Watson, of Georgia, popuHst candidate for president, suffered a physical breakdown at the close of his speeCH in the representatives' hall at the state house Tuesday afternoon and had to be conveyed to his hotel in a carriage. A physician was summoned and the Georgian was advised to go home and secure absolute quiet and rest for a few weeks. Mr. Watson arrived here sick twenty-four hours in advance of his speaking engagement, and remained confined to his room until Tuesday, refusing to see all visitors. His breakdown is largely due to the extra work involved in the preparation of his letter of acceptance, which is now nearing completion and will be made public in a few days. Several times during his address it appeared that Mr. Watson was about to break down, but he managed to finish the deliverance. He declared his intention to remain on the stump unless absolutely forced to go home by sickness. There were about one hundred populists present from different parts of the state, together with about twenty local democrats. Mr. Watson said the populist movement was on its feet again, and that it would continue before the American people until it was triumphant. He said that there was no difference between Roosevelt and Parker, there being but one disagreement, that on the pension order. On this subject the speaker said: "Parker differs from Roosevelt on the pension order. He says that Roosevelt did the right thing in the wrong way, and if he got in he would do it in the right way. Parker says that he will give the Filipinos separate government when they are ready for it, and Roosevelt says he will give them self-government when they are prepared for it. "Where is the difference between Roosevelt and Parker on the negro question? Roosevelt lunched with Booker Washington. Can any say that Parker would not?" He said that most of the talk about the negro question was politics. He accused Parker of accepting a copy of a life of Jefferson, from a negro, Ross, and in thanking him addressed him as "My Dear Mr. Ross." He said that it was a matter of indifference to him whether the populists, were hurting the democratic or the republican party the most, explaining that the reason he devoted most of his attention to the democrats in the south was because it was from this party he, expected to poll votes. He said that Parker was no democrat, and that the trusts owned both parties. Watson finished his letter of acceptance while in the city and left Tuesday night for Birmingham. OTHERS ARE IMPLICATED. Reed and Cato Not the Only Murderers of Hodges Family. Sheriff Kendrick, of Bulloch county, Ga., was in Savannah Tuesday and said that he believes that Will Cato and Paul Reed, who were burned by the mob at Statesboro, were not the only negroes who were guilty of the murder of the Hodges family. He thinks that Will Rainey, who is now in jail, is for one, guilty of the family's murder equally with Cato and Reed. The sheriff recalls Ree's confession made before he was burned by the mob, stating that Rainy was implicated. Another Move on Foot to Attempt Extermination of Forelgrants. Reports received in Shanghai, China, from the northwestern part of the province of Shantung, say that the Shauntung Boxers are distributing prospectuses, couched in the same language as those circulated before the uprising of 1900. These prospectuses order precisely similar observances and fix October 17th, next, as the date for the extermination of all foreigners. FOR VICE PRESIDENT, CHARLES W. FAIRBANKS. SELF HELP is good, but not in a selfish way. NEXT week Georgia will go Democratic, just as the Dutch carried Holland. ONLY colored men without manhood will vote against the Republican ticket. ONLY three more weeks in which to register for the presidential election; go at once and do so. The eleventh anniversary of Mt. Tabor Baptist church will be celebrated, commencing Oct. 10. FROM reliable reports there is every indication of an overwhelming Republican victory in November. A CONGRESSIONAL ticket in the First District will add much to the National ticket. Is it too late to find a suitable man? The school at Mt. Pleasant, Ga. will close on Oct. 15. Appropriate exercises will be held at St. Paul M. P. church commencing at 9 a.m. There will be speeches by Mrs. J.B. Johnson, Mrs. S.J. Williams, and Mr. James Mangram, E. W. Vernon has been conducting the school. The Democrats in this state were very timely in spreading the "Before Day Club" rot which is a good excuse to prevent Republican voters from holding meetings in the interest of the party, and which will also tend to reduce the vote for the party at the election next week and in November. The well located and valuable property belonging to the Georgia Infirmary is being out up and sold in lots. The next step is to remove the hospital to a more sparsely settled locality. Every influence should be brought to bear upon those in authority to let the hospital alone. The locality being high and healthy is well suited for such an institution NEXT Wednesday the state election takes place. In several of the counties, Camden, Liberty and McIntosh, in this section, the Republicans have candidates. In each of these counties there is an excellent chance for the Republicans to elect the legislative tickets. Every Republican in those counties should rally as they have never done before. "GEORGIA mobs are very helpful to Roosevelt," is the large headline that the Atlanta Constitution had recently, followed by this article:] There is an air of gloom hanging over the inner circles at Democratic headquarters, and the cause of it is news from Georgia. Right on the heels of the report that the Governor of Georgia had taken positive steps toward the investigation and punishment of the militia that failed to do its duty at Statesboro comes the report of another Georgia lynching, and, if reports be true, for an ordinary killing which the State courts had fall power to handle. Whatever defence there may be for lynching for other crimes, it seems from the reports published here there could be none for this later case. The Democratic managers feel very much as if they might just as well fold up their tents and close headquarters, so far as this campaign is concerned, if there is to be a continuation of these lynching stories from the Southern States. It is inconceivable to them that the Southern people do not realize the real damage such affairs do to the Democratic cause. Here are the Democratic managers seeking to impress the country that the Democratic party is a great law and order, a great constitutional party, and pointing to the Southern States to illustrate their contention that the masses of Democracy in that section of the country, which is their stronghold, are conservative, and yet almost every day they have to face some such illustration of lawlessness and mob violence at the South as that furnished by Statesboro and Cedartown and Boynton, and other points in the South. There can be no doubt that these mob outbreaks in the Southern States have the effect of nullifying all the efforts of the Democratic managers in this direction, and each has cast a decidedly gloomy effect about Democratic headquarters. If there had been but one, itought to have been possible to overcome its effects; but the frequency of these outbreaks, and the fact of their coming right in the midst of the campaign, has had a most disheartening effect. The Republican managers propose that every Democratic speaker who comes to the doubtful States to talk for Parker and the Constitution shall be met by embarrassing questions concerning this lynching business. If the plan be carried out, the opinion here is that Southern orators, who were expected to be the chief reliance of the Democratic campaign, might just as well stay at home. Whether the Republicans will be successful in this feature of their campaign plans or not, the Democratic managers do not attempt to conceal their fears that the spreading of lynching literature will do infinite harm. They feel today as if they might as well close up the headquarters in Thirty-fourth-st., and go to their respective homes, if these lynchings are continued at the South. Masonic Notes. At the first meeting of each of the Lodges in October, the Worshipful Masters must have the amount for the Widows and, Orphan Home drawn and forwarded. This much is required of us, and as true Masons, we must meet an obligation promptly. The meeting of Pythagoras Lodge on Monday night last was largely attended. Short talks were made by several of the brethren present and the spirit shown was encouraging. Atlanta has caught the Savannah spirit by paying an option on a valuable piece of property upon which to erect a temple. There is nothing like meeting under our own "vine and fig tree" Bro F. R. James of Buck Creek was in to see us on Monday. Bro James is a true Mason and one of our staunch friends. We are always glad to see him. Bro. E. B. Cooper of Lyons, accompanied by Mrs. Dora Cooper came in to see us on Monday. Bro. Cooper is one of the prominent members of St George Lodge and Mrs. Cooper is the efficient Royal Matron of Silver Chapter O. E. S. NOTICE PAST GRAND HIGH PRIESTS The Past High Priest Council for the State of Georgia will meet in King David's Tabernacle Tuesday October 25th at 10 a.m. to transact very important business. Every member is urgently requested to be present. Please don't fail to come. Comm. F. E. Thomas President. Hawkinsville, Ga., Sept. 22, 1904. Hon. Sol C. Johnson: My dear Sir and Bro.—I write you of my trip and work at Macon, Ga. A few days since, an Imperial Council of Knights Templar, was instituted in Macon on Tuesday night Sept. 20, with our esteemed friend, J. H. Walker at its head. The work is fine, it is the only legal body in the state, of Knights Templar made up of colored men. While in Macon I was royally entertained by Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Walker, 380 Monroe St. They spared neither time nor money to make it pleasant for me, while at their comfortable home. Mrs. Walker is a very accomplished lady of high culture, charming and refined, and our friend J. H. Walker is to be congratulated in securing such a jewel for a help mate through life. The great struggles of life are easily endured with such a companion. I had been wondering why Mr. Walker was taking on so much surplus flesh; after going to his home and enjoying some of his great blessings, I could see at once where the great secret was hid. I can almost taste those good things now, long may these good people live and enjoy the sweet things of life that they understand so well how to shape and manage, is my earnest prayer. College Dots. School opens on Wednesday Oct. 5, at 9:45 a.m. Prof. Pearson will issue certificates of admission next Tuesday from 3 to 5 p.m. at 20 State Street, West. This certificate will be honored at the Electric Railway office for reduced rates $1.35 for 22 round trips. President Wright has returned from New York where he spent the greater part of the vacation. Vice-President Suggs has returned from Greensboro, N.C., Mrs. Suggs and Mrs. Cato will arrive soon. Prof. M. A. Davis, recently appointed instructor in Carpentry, has arrived. Prof. Davis is a native Georgian, born in Savannah but reared at Athens. He is a graduate of Hampton Institute and has subsequently studied at the Boston School of Technology. Prof Davis has had several years of experience as director of the Industrial Department of the Stats Normal College at Frankfort, Ky. Mr. Cooper is expected to-day. He will have charge of the department of tailoring. His establishment in Atlanta will do credit to any mechanic and is sufficient recommendation for any one who aspires to teach in that branch of industry. Commendable Rally. Last Sunday was rally-day at the Elm Grove Baptist Church, Meridian, Ga, Rev R H Thomas, pastor. The purpose of the rally was to raise funds to place new pews in the church. The rally was a great success. At each of the service during the day the attendance was large. The amount raised was $126.45. This does not include the collection by the Sunday School or BY P U. When it is considered that this church is in the rural district, members are to be commended the large amount collected the afterragon communion was ministered. On Monday night, the Daughters of Zion celebrated its second anniversary. The purpose of the organization is for the spiritual and moral upliftment of the people. The result of the efforts of the members of the organization has been wonderful in the community, and the great good being accomplished is apparent on all sides. Mrs. Lena Hutchinson is the president; Mrs. Myra Robinson, vice president; Mrs. M. J. Wilson, secretary; Mrs. Olaudia Spaulding, treasurer; Mrs. Charlotte Beagles, clerk of order. Addresses were delivered to the large assembly by Rev. R. H. Thomas, Rev J E Harris and Mrs. Matilda S. Grant. These addresses were along practical lines and well received. After the services all present were served with refreshments and everybody went away well satisfied. This community is composed of McIntosh's best people and the great good they are doing under the leader-ship of Rev. Thomas, is commendable. Rev. Thomas is among those leaders who believe in teaching the people how to live and act in a practical way which will better fit them for the things of future life. His touch in this direction can be felt at all of the places where he has a church. Let there be other imitators of this excellent method. An Untiring Worker. JOHN H. HARRIS The subject of the above sketch is Mr. R. H. Williams, who is now State Deputy of Georgia for the Grand Fountain U. O. T. R. He was born at and owns property in the historic town of Fayettville, N. C. He graduated with honor from the State Normal School of this place after which he attended Shaw University, Raleigh, N. C. and was an under graduate of the National School of Elocution and Oratory, of Philadelphia, Pa. For several years he was a successful primary teacher of his native state. He has contributed to, and has been the representative of numbers of newspapers of more or less, prominence to some of whose readers he is known as "Liberator." He has a pronounced gift for literary work and has won favorable consideration as a writer, being the composer of a pamphlet known as the "Literary Garland." Formerly he was Grand Deputy Organizer for the A. M. and L. L. Association having set up several lodges. Becoming a member of the United Order of True Reformers, he was made Special Deputy in North Carolina and later in Virginia. Having served acceptably on the clerical force of the General Office he was appointed State Deputy and transferred with the instruction, "Go to Georgia, make Atlanta your headquarters, build the work" Under his administration as chief of Atlanta the True Reformers made a wonderful record. He is a member of the Y. M. C. A. of the above named city and one of the trustees of Boulevard A. M. E. Z. Church. His headquarters have recently been moved to Savannah and since being here the work of the Order has more than doubled itself. Though unassuming he is faithful in the discharge of all duties. The progress of the work both here and elsewhere is due largely to his unitiring energy and the spirit of self-sacrifice which has characterized his labor. St. Phillips Dots. Rev. Sims' sermon on Sunday was very interesting. Everybody was highly pleased with what they heard. His text was 2nd King 5:11 ; subject; "The character of Naman, the Servian General" At 8 p. m. he preached to a large congregation. His sermon was beneficial throughout. Our monthly love feast was held on Friday night preparatory to the communion on Sunday. The Fourth Quarterly conference of the West Savannah District will be held at St. Philip on Friday night Oct. 8.

Deveau, but because of illness he could not be present. However Dr. J. M. Sims was present and took Col. Deveau's place, and well did he fill it. The address was rich in subject matter, historical knowledge and pathos. We hope the Doctor will call again soon. The pastor preached an interesting sermon at night from the subject "God in the Mulberry Trees." There will be baptism to-morrow morning after service, Communion at 3:1p. m.

C. The vacancies are filled by Misses Wilkins from Connecticut and Gillis from Kentucky and Rev Lillard of the First Congregational church will teach certain classes of the Normal department. Prof. Hurd refused to be a candidate for an $1800 position in Massachusetts in June, because his heart is in this work and he does not wish to leave Beach until it is on a stronger basis than recently, and he asks the hearty cooperation of all who should be interested to help accomplish this work. The A. M. A. has found it necessary to drop the first year primary from the course, in order to take better care of the Normal department which it seems to them and to Prof. Hurd is most certainly needed in Savannah under present conditions of school privileges.

Such a statement was a gross and malicious misrepresentation of the facts. I am told by a certain gentleman that the "builder and contractor" who was in the city of Washington on August 23rd last came to the Navy Department to pay me a visit and again at my residence in the evening but, he being intoxicated, I declined to entertain him, is responsible for this false report. I am not out of a job, but very glad to state that I was never more fortunate in my life.

Even as late as the year 1805 there were Indians on the North American continent who had never seen or heard a gun, had never seen tobacco smoke, and were capable or worshiping the white men who controlled these wonders. The Rev. A. G. McCormick calls of some of the adventures of Don Eraser, who has stamped his name on Canada. Father Morice writes as follows: "On landing at Lake Stantt Fraser's meet to impress the natives with a proper idea of their wonderful resources, fired a volley with their guns, whereupon the whole crowd of Indians fell prostrate to the ground. To allay their fears and make friends, tobacco was offered to them, while on being tasted, was found too bitter and thrown away. Then to show its use, the crew lighted their pipes, and at the sight of smoke, issuing from their mouths the people began to whisper that they must come from the land of ghosts, since they were still full of fire wherewith they had been cremated. Preces of soap were given to the women, who, taking them to be cakes of fat, set upon grunching them causing foam and bubbles in the mouth, which puzzled both actors and bystanders. All these phenomena, however, were soon explained away, leaving no suspicion in the native mind, but a most profound admiration for the foreigners and their wares." Sir Alexander, Mackenzie, had an idea that the Indians of the far northwest were partly Jewish in origin, From Lakes Athabasca In 1794, he set out at the head of an expedition "in a birch bark canoe, twenty-five feet long, four and three-quarters feet beam, and twenty-six inches hold, with 3,000 pounds of baggage and provisions and in crew of nine French Canadians." He reached the Pacific coast and returned. he aborigines he met were "for the most part possessed of strongly religious tastinets," said he in his report. "With regard to their origin all we are prepared to state, after a careful survey of their language, manners and customs is that they are undoubtedly of a mixed origin; come from the northnorthwest, and had commerce in their early history, perhaps, through intermarriage, with people of Jewish persuasion or origin." New Year's Day, 1811, in the Canadian northwest was described by D.W. Harmon as follows: "This being the first day of a new year, our people have passed it, according to the custom of the Canadians in drinking and fighting. Some of the principal Indians of Fraser Lake desired to allow them to remain at the fort that they might see our people drink. As soon as they began to be a little infiltrated and to quarrel among themselves the natives began to be apprehensive that something unpleasant might bofall them also. They, therefore, hid themselves under beds and elsewhere, saying that they thought the white people had run mad, for they appeared not to know what they were about. It was the first time that they had ever seen a person intoxicated." It may well be doubted if birds are musical connoisseurs, or have anything like human appreciation of their own or of each other's songs. My reason for thinking so is this: I have heard a bobolink with a defective instrument, so that its song was broken and inarticulate in parts, and yet it sang with as much apparent joy and abandon as any of its fellows. I have also heard a hermit thrush with a similar defect or impediment, and yet it, too, appeared to sing entirely to its own satisfaction. It would be very interesting to know if those poor singers found makes as readily as their more gifted brothers. If they did, the Darwinian theory of "sexual selection" in such matters, according to which the finer songster would carry off the female, would fall to the ground. Yet it is certain that it is during the mating and breeding season that these "song combats" occur, and the favor of the female would seem to be the matter in dispute. Whether or not it be expressive of actual jealousy or rivalry, we have no other words to apply to it.—Harper's Magazine. HER EXPRESSION.

Chop fine sufficient cold veal to measure one pint; put in a frying pan; add one teaspoonful of bread crumbs, one teaspoonful of salt, one pinch of white pepper, one teaspoonful of onion juice, a small piece of mace and the yolks of two, raw eggs; stir until the mixture is located through, then stand aside to cool, form into balls, dip into beaten egg and roll in bread crumbs; fry in hot fat; serve with tomato or any brown sauce; ceecles may be made from mutton, beef or any cold roasted or boiled meat. NEW IRONING BOARD. A woman has invented and had patented an ironing table that possesses some new features. The thing is made in two sections, one of them being a portable standard and the other the table proper, with a sleeve to fit down over the standard and hold it in place when the process of ironing is to be undertaken. It is easy to handle for the reason that the two parts can be moved separately, and a special feature is the fact that the liftight of the table may be adjusted to suit the requirements of the ironer. HELPFUL HINTS. It is not too late yet, if the housewife has not changed conditions of living to suit the weather, to make some changes in the furnishings. Mattings at this time of the summer are reduced in price, so bedroom floors should have fresh mattings laid down to make them cooler, says the Ladies' World. A length of fine weave matting laid under the sheets will make the bed cooler and less enervating for the sleeper thereon, whether child or adult. Baby sleeps well on matting of the finest weave, the matting to be carried up over a little flat bolster of curled hair. BRAISED CALF'S LIVER Scald and remove the skin from a calf's liver with wooden tooth picks and fasten thin slices of salt pork over the rounded sides. Fry one slice of onion in salt pork fat and put it with the liver, in a deep granite pan covered with boiling water. Add one teaspoonful of salt, a little pepper, five whole cloves and one teaspoonful of marjoram. Put the pan in a moderate oven, cover closely and cook slowly about three hours. When tender lift the liver to a hot platter and 'put the liquor over the fire. Skim off the fat and add to the liquor a little flour mixed with cold water. Stir until boiling, season with pepper and salt and the juice of half a lemon, boil up again and strain over the liver. CANNED PINEAPPLE. Select for this purpose the sugar-loaf pineapple, which is longer than the strawberry and remains green even when nearly ripe. It is a pure white fruit with a shallow eye that can be easily peeled off. To test its ripeness pull one of the little spines sharply. If it comes out easily the fruit is in good condition for preserving. It is best to put up pineapples in moderately heavy syrup. A good proportion is three-quarters of a pound of sugar to a pound of the fruit, measured after it has been peeled and cut into little cubes or tern out shreds with a fork. The choice Singapore pines that come canned in heavy syrup are cut in slices about a quarter of an inch thick, with the core cut out in circle shape, but this is not easily done in the ordinary canning. As fast as the fruit is prepared put into a large stone jar, layer by layer, with three-quarters of it weight in sugar between each layer. When all the pineapples are prepared put a cover on the jar and let it stand in the cellar or any cool place until the next morning. By that time the juice will have completely dissolved the sugar and a clear syrup will cover the fruit. Put the fruit and syrup in the preserving kettle, bring slowly to the boiling point, skim and cook slowly until tender, but not "musay," then can at once. The time required in the cooking may vary from five to thirty minutes, according to the ripeness of the fruit. Plantation Chill Cure is Guaranteed Best of Backs tive Ont.

SLOAN, DICISIONARY STANDSTOCK MASS No More Blindlndorsas *No Species Ophthalmia* Bore Eyes, Barry Iowa, Iowa. I have a sure cure Forthcoming Dictionary Compiled by Berlin Academy of Science. A brief dispatch from Berlin conveys intelligence which will thrill the heart of every scholar. It announces the near completion of Professor Erman's monumental "Dictionary of the Ancient Egyptian Languages," a work endowed by the Kalser, compiled by the Berlin Academy of Sciences and aided in no small degree by the best American enudition. Professor Erman, the editor, is easily the foremost Egyptologist of the world, though he has toiled in a field wherein there has been friendly contention for many years among the scholars of France, England, Germany, Italy and America. The field has been so fertile that the forthcoming dictionary is credited with captaining 280,000 words or subjects. We shrewdly suspect that the cablegram has confused the Egyptian word with the ideogram, which is only a picture or a pictorial symbol. The oldest records of the Egyptian language date back to about B. C., 4,000, and it did not die out as a tongue until about three centuries ago. Professor Erman's great book will, of course, embrace its long history, and the many changes it underwent. In one of his own published monographs on the subject he shows how the language of the old Egyptian empire, was no more intelligible to an Egyptian of the 19th dynasty, for example, than Latin would be to the average Italian of the present day. Long after old Egyptian, the classical tongue of the old empire, had ceased to be spoken, it led an artificial life as a learned language, playing much the same part as Latin played in medieval Europe, and was regularly employed for religious and monumental purposes down to the Roman period. Then followed the middle Egyptian representing an intermediate stage between the language of the old and new empire. In it most of the old forms and inflections are retained, but none of the peculiarities of the later speech make their appearance, this being the Neo-Egyptian or popular language about B. C. 1500-1000. It is represented by a number of papyrl containing tales, letters and legal documents. From about B. C. 700 to the Christian era the language of the Egyptian people was the demotic, about which comparatively little is known; and it was succeeded by the language of Christian Egypt, or Coptic, written in a modification of the Greek alphabet with the addition of characters derived from the demotic. As a spoken language it perished about 300 years ago, but is still employed in the ritual of the Coptic church—Falladelphia Ledger. On the Canary Islands: grows a mountain tree, a tree most needed in some parts of the islands. It is said that the leaves constantly distill a quantity of water that is sufficient to furnish drink to every living creature in Hiera, nature having provided this remedy for the drought of the island. Every morning near this part of the island a cloud of mist arises from the sea, which the winds force against the steep cliff on which this tree grows, and it is from the mist that the tree distills the water. China, too, claims her remarkable tree. This is known as the tallow tree, so called from the fact of it producing a substance like tallow, and which serves the same purpose, is of the same consistency, color and smell. On the island of Lewchew grows a tree about the size of a common cherry tree, which possesses the peculiarity of changing this color of its blossoms. At one time the flower assumes the tint of the lily, and again shortly takes the color of the rose. In Thibet there is a most curious tree, known as the tree of the thousand images. Its leaves are 666ved with well defined characters of the Thibetan alphabet. It is of great age and the only one of its kind known there. Rato as Poison Immunes. In destroying rats by poison a paradoxical susceptibility has been noted. When you want to kill a man by poison you give him a big dose, while if you give him a small quantity daily the whole may be eliminated without fatal effects. On the other hand it has been determined that rats have a peculiar resistance to arsenical poisoning when given in large doses, while frequently they were destroyed by small doses before the total quantity had reached an amount equal to single doses that were successfully withstood. Not the Same Bird. Seeking for argument to support an attack on woman, a correspondent of a contemporary found what he thought was a suitable one in the Book of Job, and produced it in triumph. Next day another correspondent pointed out that, owing to a slight technical error, the argument was not so convincing as it might otherwise have been. It seems that the prophet's remark was not about women at all, but about ostriches. These mistakes will occur. (At40-04) FITS permanently cured.
