TWENTY-EIGHT DIE Another World's Fair Train in Frightful Crash. DASNES INTO A FREIGHT Disaster Occurred on Missouri Pacific Railway and Was Caused by, Twenty-eight persons were killed and sixty injured by a head-on collision by Missouri Pacific trains 3 miles east of Warrenburg, Mo., Monday. The trains were the second section of a passenger train from Wichita, for St. Louis, and an extra freight train. Most of the dead were residents of Missouri and Kansas, as are the injured. The passenger train, consisting of two day coaches, a Pullman and a caboose, was loaded with world's fair excursionists from southeastern Kansas and southwestern Missouri. The Wichita passenger train had been cut in two at Pleasant Hill, on account of the heavy load, and a locomotive attached to the front car without a baggage car as a buffer. The extra freight had been sidetracked at Mount Serratt for the first section of the Wichita train, which carried signals that a second section was following. A local passenger train passed and the freight crew took the local for the second section of the Wichita train and pulled out of the side track Three miles west the freight met the second section. The impact telescoped the tender of the passenger locomotive and the front car, which was full of passengers, and it was here that the sacrifice of life took place. The passenger conductor, E. L. Barnes, ran all the way to Warrensburg to report the wreck. Every physician in Warrensburg and hundreds of citizens hastened to the wreck to assist the wounded. Twenty persons were killed outright and eight died within a few hours. A coroner's jury is now seeking the person responsible for the wreck. The conductor of the freight train says he was dozing while his train was at Mount Serratt, and when the local train passed Engineer Horton believed that it was the second-section of the Wichita train, and thinking the track clear, pulled out on the main track. E. Drexel, postmaster at Kansas, was taken out from under a heap of seven bodies, suffering only a broken leg. State Capital at Raleigh Closes and Flag at Half Mast. The funeral of the late ex-Senator Matt Ransom, of North Carolina, was held Monday afternoon at his country residence, "Verona," near Garysville, in Northampton county. The body was interred in the old burying ground with Masonic honors. The services were conducted by Rev. John A. Weston, of the Episcopal Church, of Hickory, General Ransom was a member of that church. Notable men from many sections of the state were present. In Raleigh the state capitol was closed and the flag was at half mast. RAILROADS ARE HELD UP. Atlanta to Grant No More Privileges Until Freight Rates Are Adjusted. Unit Freight Rates are Adjusted. The Atlanta freight bureau won during the special session of council the first of the series of fights it will wage against all railroad interests until Atlanta is given better freight rates. The ordinance of the special committee on the Washington street viaduct matter and the proposition of the Louisville and Nashville and other railroads for terminal facilities, was re-referred to a committee with instructions to report during council's first November session. Negro Troops Suggested Only for a Few Isolated Coast Forts. General Barry was interviewed in Atlanta regarding his recommendation for the enlistment of colored troops in the artillery arm of the service. While he declined to make any statement, it was learned from the best of official sources that the recommendation of the general was greatly misunderstood and that there was not the least thought in the mind of the head of the department of the gulf to station colored troops in any of the big southern port cities. THE GEORGIA LAUNCHED Monster and Magnificent Battleship Glides from Ways at Bath, Malne, In Midst of Imposing Ceremony. At 1:52 o'clock Tuesday afternoon; at the Bath Iron Works, the largest veessel ever built in the state of Malne, the twin-screw first-class battle- ship Georgia was launched. The battle ship was gally decorated with flags and bunting, as were also the offices and yard buildings, in honor of the occasion. Excursionists from all sections of Malne were present to witness the launching, and the party entertained by the officiants of the company included Governor Joseph X Terrell, of Georgia, and Mrs. Terrell, Judge and Mrs. Hamilton McWuorter, Miss Camilla McWuorter, Congressman F. Carter Tate, Miss Stella Tate and Congressman W. C. Adamson, all of Georgia. Miss Tate was escorted to the launching platform by Vice President John S. Hyde, and instructed in her duties as sponsor. Mr. Hyde had also personal supervision of the launching. A method somewhat different from the usual one of releasing the hull by severing, a cord was employed on this occasion, when sawyers standing beneath the vessel severed the monstrous shoe piece with cross-cut saw, and the vessel was started toward the water. When the battle ship began to move, Miss Tate broke a bottle of champagne across the bow, naming the craft in honor of her own state. As the stern parted the surface of the Kennebec river, the Georgia was saluted by numerous craft and manufacturing plants along the shore, all of which were acknowledged by her siren and whistle, the battle ship being launched with steam up. Both military masts were in position, as well as the conning tower, and the three-smoke funnels which gave the vessel more the appearance of a completed battle ship than any previously launched. Following the launching a luncheon was served. The Georgia is one of the three battle ships authorized under an act of congress, approved March 3, 1899, and is also a duplicate of the two authorized and approved June 7, 1900. Blds for these five battle ships were opened at the navy department November 15 1900, and in February, 1901, the Battn Iron Works was awarded the contract for the building of the Georgia, a sister ship of the Virginia, Rhode Island, New Jersey and Nebraska, at a contract price of $3,590,000. The Georgia belongs to the most powerful type of battle ship aoft, and also to the largest class. She has a trial displacement of 15,000 tons; and is 435 feet long, 76 feet and 10 inches beam, and under trial conditions will draw 24 feet, while she has an extreme draft of 26 feet when fully loaded and equipped with stores, coal, ammunition, etc. The craft is fully protected by the best of armor, having a combined weight of 3,700 gross tons, and which includes a main belt extending the entire length of each side from eleven to four inches thick. The 12-inch turrets and barbetts are covered with a 10-inch armor, the 8-inch turrets and barbetts with 6-inch armor. The conning tower is 6 inches thick, the signal tower 5 inches thick and the gun protection and splinter bulk heads are 2 and 3 inches thick. The battery of the Georgia consists of four 12-inch breech-loading rifles, twelve 6-inch breech-loading rifles of rapid movement, twelve 3-inch breech-loading rapid-fire rifles, twelve 3-pounder guns, four one-pounder automatic guns, two 3-inch field guns, two machine guns and six automatic guns. There are also four submerged torpedo tubes. Millers Meet at Nashville The Southern Millers' Association representing over $300,000,000 of invested capital, began its annual session in Nashville Tuesday. E. M. Kelly, of Nashville, was re-elected president, and W. R. Donfély continued as secretary, with local headquarers in Nashville. BURIED UNDER COLLAPSED WALL Disaster Occurs In Santiago, Chile, Wherein Many Lives Are Lost. In Santiago, Chile, Monday, one hundred workmen were buried by the fall of walls in course of erection for an extension of the Casa Prairies. Within a short time fifteen corpses and forty wounded had been removed from the ruin. The walls, which were constructed of iron and cement, had reached a height of four stories. There is much indignation against the architect who planned and had charge of the work. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. OCTOBER 18. 1904. INVOKES CONGRESS Judge Jones Suggests Higher Law for Lynchers IN GRAND JURY CHARGE The Federal Government Has Power to Punish Where State Fail Charge Creates Something of a Suspicion. Judge Thomas G. Jones, of the United States' court of the northern district of Alabama, charged the newly organized jury. at Huntsville Tuesday in a deliverance which has been received in the nature of a sensation. His charge occupied the attention of the jury for nearly two hours and deals largely with the question of congressional legislation for the protection of prisoners against state mobs. Judge Jones instructed the jury to investigate the recent Maples lynching with the view of ascertaining if any offenses had been committed against the laws of the United States by the mob that lynch'd, Horace Maples. It is understood that the grand jury, composed of citizens of north Alabama, will take up the matter vigorously. Among other things Judge Jones said: Lately, as the court knows from common knowledge, as well as from reuorts of its officers, a mob gathered in a stone's throw of this room, and in insolent defiance of the judges and laws of our state, and with studied last and contempt for its civil and military power which sought to protect the Huntsville jail, assaulted the assembled forces of the law at their post of duty there. It broke down the doors of the jail, set it on fire, resisted efforts to put but the flames, and obstructed officers of the United States in their endeavors to remove United States prisoners from their cells to a place of safety. This frenzied and savage work was done that Morace Maples, a negro, a citizen of Alabama and the United States, who was there confined to be safely kept to answer the laws of the state of Alabama upon a charge of murder, should not be so kept and disposed of according to law, but instead, should be delivered to the mob and lawlessly put to death. * * * The question comes unbidden to your lips, have you any duty to perform with reference to these offences? The answer involves inquiry whether congress has power to punish such an offense, and if so, has it exercised that power by appropriate legislation? The great importance of the principles involved and the value of a right understanding of them demand that the court should give at length the reason o' the law as well by the law itself, that you may the better understand how to apply it. If congress has the power now to punish the offense in any phase of it, that power must be found in the thirteenth and fourteenth amendments to the constitution of the United States. Is it contained in either or both? the thirteenth amendment provides: 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist in the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction. The fourteenth amendment provides: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States, nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due-process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. Congress is empowered "to enforce" each of these articles by appropriate legislation. JAP CREW. SENT DOWN. Gun Boat Helyan Strikes Floating Mine and Quickly Snks. A Tokio special of Tuesday says: The Japanese gunboat Helyan, or guard duty, struck a mine in Pigeor Bay, west of Port Arthur, September 18 and sank. Only four of her crew of three hundred were rescued. The Helyan is of 2,067 tons displacement, twenty-four hundred indicated horse power. She was captured by the Japanese from the Chinese at Wet Hal Wai during the war between China and Japan. A SEE-SAW CONFLICT. Japs Check Advance of Russians, But They Come Again—Bloody Battles is Progressing: An Associated Press dispatch of Tuesday from Mukden was as follows: 'A bloody battle is raging six miles north of Yental railroad station. The Japanese on Sunday fell back along the whole of the north front and the Russian advance guards crossed the Schill river (about half way between Mukden and Liao-Yang) and came within three miles of Yental. "Yesterday, however, the Japanese received strong reinforcements of tiltfantry and artillery and not only held their positions, but even assumed the offensive. The fighting lasted the entire day and night. The Japanese directed their artillery fire with great skill and searched the Russian positions so fiercely that, the Russians fell back north of the Schill river, which crosses the railroad seven miles from Yental. "The Russians this morning resumed their advance, once more crossing the Schill river and engaged the Japanese two miles south of it. A terrific artillery engagement is proceeding along the entire front. The result of the battle is still undecided." CAPTAIN HITCH'S DEFENSE. Has No Apology to Make for His Course of Action at Statesboro. When the courtmartial court to try Captain Hitch and others reconvened at Savannah Tuesday morning H. P. Guerrant, representative of The Savannah Press, was placed on the stand. The principal testimony of the morning session was that of Sheffield Kendrick, who stated that he had been instructed by Judge Daly that Captain Hitch was in command of the situation and that when the mob began its attack he did not have sufficient force to repel the outbreak against the leaders and therefore rushed into the prisoners' room to save the negroes. Mr. Guerrant testified that nothing in Judge Daly's remarks in sentencing the convicted prisoners could be considered as having incited the outbreak. He spoke of having several conferences between Captain Hitch and Judge Daly and that the general impression up the time of the trouble was that there would be no outbreak. He said Judge Daly had the day before strongly advised against mob violence, saying that it would be an insult to the law and the court. He declared that Captain Hitch acted very promptly when the demonstration began and that Sheriff Kendricks, when the mob pressed up to the door of the court house, did what he could to repel the attack. Lieutenant Charles E Cone stated that his command, the Statesboro company, had their guns loaded when Captain Hitch arrived and ordered them to unload. He said Lieutenant McIntyre had charge of the distribution of ammunition. Captain R. M. Hitch, of company I then took the stand in his defense. His statement was minute and occupied three and a half hours. Regarding the alleged failure to concoct a plan of defense, the witness said: "Looking at it in the light of subsequent events, I have no apology to make myself or to anybody for any course or step I took. My own judgment was that I did just right. If I had known some of the things I know now, I might have shot some of the people to begin with. Napoleon Bona parte lost. Waterloo, and Robert E Lee lost Getfysburg," said Captain Hitch in conclusion, "and if a mere failure renders one liable to prosecution, 'there is no hope.'" REPRIMAND FOR LAWYER. Young Barrister in Augusta Violates Ethics of Profession. On the charge of grossly violating the ethics of the profession, T. S. Lyons was found guilty by the Augusta, Ga., Bar Association, and will be privately reprimanded. He will also be notified that any repetition of the offenses will mean expulsion from the association and the bringing of proceedings for disbarment. The first charge was the improper use of a possessory warrant proceeding to collect a claim. The second charge was that of changing the date on a court paper and the signing of an affidavit of service when no service had been completed. National Bank Closed by Run. The comptroller of the currency has been advised by the president of the First National Bank, Claysville, Pa. that he closed its doors Tuesday in consequence of a run Monday. National Bank Examiner C. W. Robinson has been appointed receiver. WATSON'S LETTER Populist Candidate Accepts Nomination of Party. A SCORCHING EPISTLE Both Democrats and Republicans are Splited on the Same Pitchfork. An Appeal to the Voters of the Country. Hon, Thomas E. Watson made public at Birmingham, Ala., Sunday night his letter accepting the nomination of the People's Party for the presidency. The letter is very lengthy, and much of it is devoted to a bitter arraignment of the democratic and republican parties. He devotes considerable space to explaining why the people's party stands for the initiative and referendum, and the imperative mandate and right of recall, under which officials who fall in doing their duty can be summarily punished. He declares strongly for the election of all officers by the people, which "for one thing would bring the federal judges to their senses and take out of their infilated souls the ideas that they are earthly editions of Jehovah." In the beginning Mr. Watson says: To Hon. Samuel W. Williams, Chairman Committee on Notification: When two great political parties have, in turn, governed a country, and have between them brought about unsatisfactory conditions, it is but a natural fact that a third party should arise. Citizens who have looked in vain to "the two great parties" for remedial legislation lose confidence for both after a while, and adopt one of two courses—they either submit to the evils of bad government, or protest by organizing a third party. To the student of history there is clothing more saddening than the tenency of the people to submit. As a rule, political education never reaches the masses. Statecraft, like priestcraft, jealously guards its secrets. There is always the inner sanctuary which the people are taught to believe would be profaned by the touch of their unholy-feet. Again, in organized government, there is a mysterious reverence for authority. "Whatever is, is right" to the unthinking multitude; and the votaries of power never cease to deepen that impression. Thus, partly from ignorance and partly from reverence for established authority, the people, in every age, have shown more inclination to submit to bad government than to resist it. In concluding Mr. Watson makes a direct appeal to the voters in the following: To the courage and the intelligence of the voter I appeal. If you think I am right, vote that way, or you are a moral coward. Do not fear that your vote will be "thrown away." Your vote is never thrown away until it ceases to be the representative of your honest convictions. To the extent that the opponents of republican principles support me in 1904, the hands of those will be strengthened who shall make war upon the republicans in 1908. The present attitude of national democracy is an impossible one. They will be driven from it, beyond all doubt. Four years from now the Belmonts, Gormans and Hills should be put into the republican camp where they belong. The real democrats will return to their Omaha and Chicago platform. In some honorable way the Bryan democrats, must act with us; the cause demands it; duty requires it; patrolotism exacts it, to the success of true democracy it is indispensable. To preserve an organization of resistance to the plutocracy, to show them that they cannot play their selfish game quite so easily as they had imagined, to make them feel that there is life in the people yet, to form a nucleus around which the betrayed people could rally, we make this struggle. It has already grown into larger proportions than I could have foreseen. It promises to bring forth good fruit without heart sickening delays. I accept the nomination tendered me, and indorse the platform upon which it is made. In this campaign, when plutocracy has captured both the old parties, it seemed an absolute necessity that some one should erect the standard of Jefferson democracy. Had no one made the effort to infuse the spirit of resistance into the people, four more years of apathy and discontent might have rendered the case hopeless. The leaders in 1908 who would seek to rekindle the hopes of the masses might have been met with the cry. "Too late!" Forward March of Ruselane. Against Their Foe. Beging Auspiciously, But Result is Speculative. Advices of Monday from the Far East indicate that while General, Kuropatkin has continued to advance his entire front against the armies of Field Marshal Ayama, he has not met with any formidable opposition. However, the expectation is that a battle of magnitude must be fought within a few days. It is believed that the Japanese will make a stand at Liao-Yang. Several positions east of that place have been abandoned by the Japanese. At Petersburg it is surmised that Field Marshal Oyama's forces have been weakened by the dispatch of troops to aid General Nogi in reducing Port Artur, and that this condition has afforded General Kuropatkin an opportunity to recover ground lost during the month of August. According to the Associated Press, the advance by the Russians actually begun October 5 and the preparations were enveloped in the greatest secrecy. Sunday night a correspondent of the Associated Press telegraphed the first news that the forward march had begun auspiciously for the Russians, the Japanese having lost a most important fortified position. Bent-slapize, the key of the Benlishu road, and the ford of the Taltise river, and having exposed their right flank. Monday morning came the news that the Japanese were being-driven back along the whole front. But these are only advance guard successes. The heavy work is still ahead and a Russian victory will only be certain when the Russians are enter Liao-Yang. The Japanese armies are prepared to meet the Russians and the advance of the latter is expected to develop quickly. The decisive moment of the campaign is close at hand. Jang Sikx Russian Ships. Japa Sikh Russian Ships. It is reported in Tokio that the Japanese recently centered a fire from the land positions and from the fleet blockading Port Arthur on the west harbor with the object of destroying the Russian fleet and succeeded in sinking three vessels, the names and character of which are unknown. The failure of the Port Arthur fleet to make a sortie is creating the impression that the Russians intend to destroy their ships just before the fall of the fortress in preference to taking the risk of a sortie. PROMINENT CLUB MAN SUICIDES. Facing Shameful Charges Hall Resorts to Self-Destruction. Frank dePeyster Hall, a member of several prominent clubs, Monday shot and killed himself. A suit brought by him against two other clubmen alleging slander and demanding $100,000 damages, was to have come up in court during the day. The suits were against Alfred H. Bend, president of the Calumet Club, and George A. Carmack, secretary of the New York Yacht Club. Hall allied that both men, in conversation with others, had accused him of disgraceful practices while he was a member of the Calumet Club. BRYAN TOURING MISSOURI. Nebraskan Takes Up Cudgels on Behalf of Parker and Davis. William Jennings Bryan addressed an open air meeting at Marysville, Mo., Monday, pleading for the election of Joseph W. Folk, democratic candidate for governor of Missouri. Touching on national affairs, he said he believed his hearers would give him credit for courage enough to oppose Parker openly if he did not regard him as the best man for the place, and that he hoped his reputation for truth and veracity was such that his friends would believe him when he said he was supporting the democratic nominees by every means in his power Bean Eatera Wlp Pennant. Boston vanquished New York on the baseball field at New York Monday, winning the American League championship pennant for the second time. SEIZURE OF MAILS BY RUSSIANS. Calchas Affair Brought Up for Discussion in the Cabinet. A Washington dispatch says: One of the subjects brought before the cabinet meeting Tuesday was a protest against the seizure of American mall on the British steamer Calchas by the Russian Vladivostok squadron from Dodwell and Company, of Tacoma, representing the steamship line. The papers in the case will be transmitted to the American embassy at St. Petersburg for submission to the Russian government as part of the whole relating to prize seizures. FOR PRESIDENT, THEODORE ROOSEVELT. FOR VICE PRESIDENT, CHARLES W. FAIRBANKS. FOR PRESIDENTAL ELECTORS, STATE OF GEORGIA, At Large: J. C. HENDRIX. H. L. MOKEE. 1st District—HENRY BLUN. 2nd District—J. E. PETERSON. 3rd District—W. B. SEYMOUR. 4th District—A. H. FREEMAN. 5th Distiict—J. G. St. AMAND. 6th District—CHAS. AKERMAN. 7th District—A. D. HULL. 8th District—C. L. WHITE. 9th District—W. T. DAY. 10th District—S. B. VAUGHN. 11th District—O. W. COLE. Young men go to the Court house and register. Old men don't forget your duty; go and register. REPUBLICAN leaders must be up and doing by having recreatant voters to register. OIVIC rights and social privileges are not synonymous terms, but are being used by the Democrats to the detriment of our people. If our men in business could secure the unstinted support of at least fifty per cent of our people, many of our boys and girls could be given lucrative position. Our thoughtless young people aided by the injustice of an opposite race are doing much to retard race progress and discourage those of the race who are trying to do something tangible THE election of Roosevelt and Fairbanks is assured; let Chatham County and First Congressional District do full duty by having every available man registered and be prepared to cast the largest possible vote. As a race we will have no standing as long as we continue to condone wrong doing, especially in high places, and to elevate to position of honor and trust men who are suspected of the least offence. MANY of the cities North and West and nearly every one in the South are infested with dives where the lower element of our people congregate and pulling into their meshes a large number of our promising young men. There should be an organized movement in each of these places to break up dives of of this kind. As a leader of the whole people regardless of race, President Roosevelt has said that "This country is based upon the fundamental idea that each man, no matter what his occupation, his race or his religious belief, is entitled to be treated on his worth as a man, and neither favored nor discriminated against because of any accident in his position." \*\*\* We were also glad to meet the president of the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society in the person of Mrs J. V. Sherman, of Savannah. Mrs. Sherman is a great woman and reflects much credit upon the race and connection. She does not leave a stone unturned, endsavoring to have her society reach its zenith. She (Mrs. Sherman) is also a lecturer and educator from start to finish. If the other women of the society will do as Mrs. Sherman has asked them to, they will soon have one of the finest societies in the whole country. We need ten thousand Mrs. J. V. Shermans in our country. Good!—Fitzgerald Advance. The political dry bones of Chatham county have been shaken and secrets of the skeleton closet exposed by Rev. A. M. Williams of Trinity church. Rev. Williams claims that at the recent election about seven hundred votes were cast, and behold the returns showed that over four thousand were polled. The divine claims that the ballot was padded and he ought to know. He will hardly make such a serious assertion without good grounds. The claim has been made that in many sections of the south, the ballot box is stuffed and now this claim is made by one who aught to know what he is talking about. As true Republicans we will be represent in our duty if we fail to urge voters to register for the election. The books will only be open for a few more days for this purpose. Each chairman of the various districts and leaders therein should urge their voters to qualify themselves without delay. Special attention should be paid to the young men who are just of age and see that they are in a position to cast their ballot for the next president. This county and district must increase its vote and show to the world that Republicanism counts for something. THIS great nation is represented abroad by thirteen colored citizens of the Republic. These representatives are making enviable records in their respective positions, and their success justifies the judgment of President Roosevelt and his advisers. Colored citizens appreciate the opportunity given them to show their worth and ability, and the splendid records of these representatives prove that they use that opportunity with credit, both to the Nation and their race. No intelligent colored man measures the value of friendship shown by the Republican Party to his race by the amount of money which colored people draw in government salaries. At the same time, every colored man realizes that, of the two great parties now contending for mastery, only the Republican Party is committed to the appointment of men and women to public positions without regard to color or creed. The Democratic Party legislates for the disfranchisement of Colored voters, and demands the elimination of colored men and women from positions of public trust and emolument. The Republicna Party stands firm upon the Constitution and its amendments and declares for the "open door" to every man—encouraging all, proscribing none. THERE is much discussion at present about laborers in the South. The colored man is logically the South's laborer; he has been that from Jamestown to the present. To those who know best he is acclaimed the beat laborer, and what is necessary is for him to be treated right. From certain source he is being reflected upon as a laborer; that he will not work, etc. The charge is false, and no one knows it better than those who are making it Under conciliating conditions, the colored man as a laborer cannot be surpassed, even in trying times he has been found to be true and loyal to his trust Can he be blamed, for being discouraged and with no energy to work under the conditions the are prevalent in certain of the rural districts of the South where no little amount of injustice is meeted to him. No man, not even a beast would give full service under such conditions. If the white men in these districts would treat the colored man more as a human being, be just to him and give him the protection that the laws allow, then there will never be any complaint of the slightest kind of his devotion to whatever duty that is assigned him. In speaking about the manner in which he is being treated we can but command the humane action of many true hearted white men who have been friendly toward our people and extend them protection at trying times. Our schools are again in full blast and fortunate indeed is the child who was able to be admitted. Each year hundreds of them are turned away for lack of accommodation and nothing is being done in a tangible way to help the situation. Some years ago, through the agitation of the colored citizens and the establishing by them of a two grade school at the Duffy street hall, the Board of Education, the following term assumed control of it. About a year ago after refusing to pay a slight advance in the renting of the Anderson street school, the board was compelled to purchase the old church edifice on Maple street, where two additional rooms were made. With over three thousand children without accommodation, these additions were not more than a "drop in a bucket." The Board of Education is giving no notice whatever to the need of this vast army of colored children, hundreds of whom are growing up in ignorance. The members of the board being of another race carot feel this matter as we do, and for that reason we must bestir ourselves and become truly our brother's keepers. The TRIBUNE never get tired calling our men to duty, and to this duty they are called and the response should be quick and liberal. ONE of the Democratio candidates for Congress from, Alabama Heflin by name, in a recent speech at Tukkegee made use of the following anarchistic words: "That if an unarchist like Czolgosz had thrown a bomb at the president and Booker Washington and had put both of them out of existence no great harm would have been done the country." This Democratic desciptle was alluding to the time when Booker Washington dined with the President. His utterance shows what certain man of this section is capable of doing and saying. Now he is claiming that he made the utterance as a joke. It is a funny way of joking, and will hardly be accepted by some persons. Such men should not aspire for national honors. The fundamental law of the United States prohibits slavery and involuntary servitude, but in portions of the South, where the Democrats rule lawless people have taken advantage of the lax observances of civil rights as applied to the Negro and have held their darker-hued brethren in a state of peonage. This practice was very common until the Department of Justice under the Roosevelt administration started an investigation of the matter, which resulted in sending some of the scoundrels to the penitentiary. Peonage is not so popular as it used to be, and with Roosevelt as President it will be wiped out entirely during the next four years. FIFTY Japanese families have settled in Louisiana, where they will start rice farms. They were welcomed by the local Democrats, who are great admirers of colored men—from the Orient. St. Paul's Dots. Rev Haywood occupied the pulpit of the St. Paul O. M. E. church on Wednesday night and his choir rendered excellent music. Rev Griffin presided on Friday night, with music by his choir. The anniversary was quite a success, over seventy dollars were raised. Tuskegee N. & I. Institute. The officers of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute of Tuskegee, Alabama, have gradually matured a plan which should very deeply interest the men and the women of the race who are seeking an education. This plan enables young men and women to attend school at night and work at an industry or trade during the day, or in the case of those who are able to pay a small monthly sum, to attend school during the day and at the same time, learn a trade or work at some industry. The improved plan gives superior opportunity for literary and academic training and at the same time, gives equal opportunity for the learning of a trade. Last year thirty-six states were represented by students at Tuskegee, and nine foreign countries. The attendance during the coming year promises to be very large and the class of students promises to be of a high grade. Pembroke Items.

Selling Human Hair a Traffic of Tragedies THE STORY OF AN AGED WOMAN WHO SACRIFICED HER WONDERFUL SNOWY LOCKS TO EDUCATE HER GRAND: DAUGHTER...DYEING, BLEACHING AND MAKING GRAY. HERE is a tragedy in every trade," said the dealer in human hair. "There are heart-breaking things we have to do because the public must have what it wants. To live ourselves we have to keep close watch on just what the public does want. This is, of course, true of every other business, but the personal contact, the buying of what is really a part of one person and selling it to another, makes some of our work particularly trying on the sympathetics. It is not true, as a rule, that people with money are apt to be in need of hair, and that people without means have abundant crops, but it usually seems so to us. This may be because those who are both without money and without hair make the best of their condition, while those who have the money and lack the looks can supply the letter. "The greatest demand is for white and gray hair. The pure white is so rare that it brings quite, fabulous prices. By bleaching it is easy enough to have a full supply, but when this is contrasted with the real article the difference is startling. The manufactured article is a remarkably good imitation, but its inferiority, what is called 'the dead look,' is as apparent as the difference between artificial and sun light. Now, as the artificial really costs a good deal of money, it is to be presumed that the would-be purchasers must want the best, and, as they move in social circles where their acquaintances are apt to be of their own age and similarly well fixed as to money, the chances are large that they will be satisfied with nothing but the real thing. People who wear 'false hair,' a misnomer, are particularly sensitive about it, and don't want to run the risk of contrast between the genuine and the artificial. ONE OUNCE-$25. For these reasons the real white hair has a standard value of $25 per ounce, although through the scarcity of the supply, there is any large order, like one for a full head of fine hair, the price jumps to sums that are staggering. In this connection I'll tell of one of the tragedies I have mentioned as, connected with the trade. The story is perfectly true, but to give the names would be an injustice. As I did the hair cutting myself, I know exactly what happened. There was a very old woman out in New Jersey. She always had been in comfortable circumstances, but certain securities ceased paying dividends through a reorganization, and at the same time several of her houses that had paid comfortable rentals were vacant. She was without ready cash, and worried about the education of her orphan guarddaughter of fourteen. "One day a friend called, to find the old woman confined to her room. She had let down her long, abundant and perfectly white hair, which still reached below her knees when she was standing. The visitor, who, on more than one occasion had been at our shop to buy switches, had learned of the enormous value of white hair, and remembered the $25 an ounce price, which she had heard quoted as the manufacturer's price to the retailer. To cheer up her friend she mentioned what she had heard, and added that she believed her splendid hair would bring twice that sum for each ounce. "The old woman was deeply interested at once, as, according to her calculation, this would be a sum of money which would aid materially in the education of her granddaughter. She wrote to us telling of the length of her hair, and of the price she had been told it would bring. As it happened at the time, we had two orders for real white hair, and had searched in vain for the proper length and quality. SACRIFICED HER SNOWY LOCKS. "I wrote that I would come to see her on the following day. In the meantime, as I learned later, she sent for her physician. He had been a friend and comrade of her son. She told him of her purpose. Of course, he tried to dissuade her, and finding that useless, consented to tell the girl that her grandmother's hair must be cut off, as it was too great a burden for her to bear in her enfeebled condition. "There were tears, entreaties and protests on the part of the young girl, but the old grandmother managed to persuade her that it must be. I came the next day. The doctor was there in stern-faced, middle-aged man, who scowled at me. I was really very uncomfortable. The girl, who could not witness the cutting of her grandmother's 'crowning glory,' had gone away to weep alone. The old woman was sitting up in her bed running-her fingers through the beautiful white waves of her hair that streamed off to the carpet. "I had never seen such a head of hair. My business heart jumped with greed, and then, as she looked up at me with her angel's face and her great big pitiful eyes, the greed was gone and I started crying. It was very unprofessional. "Sit down, madame," said she in the gentlest sort of voice, and then she told me why she was willing to sacrifice it. "You see, the doctor will tell you that I cannot live long, a month or so, perhaps, and I would carry this hair to the grave. I'd much rather provide for the little girl. "I really offered twice what I had meant to give — $5000. I had the money with me and paid it. Then I cut off the wonderful locks, sniffing and half crying all the time. My work seemed like shearing an angel. At last I carefully packed up the precious hair. I had left enough for the aged woman to have short curls to peek out from under her bonnet. My profit en that hair cutting was enormous. "The shares that had paid no dividends became, shortly after the old lady's death, of value again, and the houses were leased, so that the young woman was left in his need and with plenty of ready money. The doctor and I have preserved our secret. It would do no good to make the young woman unhappy, although I sometimes think that I should write her the truth. It would hurt her, of course, but then she would realize how great was the love of her grandmother. "Next in value to the real white hair is real gray hair, and this is due chiefly to the fact that there are so many degrees of grayness. When a laudresser is in need of a switch of gray hair he forwards a sample to the manufacturer, who matches it by mingling strands of white hair with the necessary strands of gray. This might seem an exceedingly difficult thing to do, as it is said that the hairs of the head cannot be counted, except on heads that are almost bad. "But it is not such a very difficult process. A handful of white and a handful of gray hair of various degrees of grayness are drawn across upturned spithes, the different varieties being added until the required shade is found. "There are shades of red, or auburn," and of bronze black that are exceedingly difficult to get, but none of these has anything like the market value of the white or even the gray hair. Most of the hair that we sell comes from Russia, Scandinavia, Italy, Germany, Spain and France, and the cheaper sorts from Japan, China and South America. It is only once in a great while that there is any American hair for sale, because the Americans as a people are more prosperous and don't have to sell their locks. "Much of the hair that comes to the manufacturers is in the form of 'combings,' a small saving which the American women, even of the poorer classes, have not realized have a value. These 'combings' are sterilized and treated with antiseptics after they have been carefully run over stationary combs or spikes until they are. in order. All this is done by machinery that separates, through the fine teeth, what is known as the 'root' and the 'point' hair. Another machine gathers the strands into their classifications, according to length. DYEING AND BLEACHING "Of course, human hair has to be dyed to suit the prevailing fashion. It is easy to dye hair that has been shorn, as there is no danger that the dye will run, because the hair is held in a horizontal position. This is almost impossible in the case of dyeing the hair on the head. It is a mistake to speak of dyeing hair to a lighter color. Hair can be dyed only to a darker shade—which makes the raven and bronze black valuable. Of course, you can bleach hair. We all know the 'peroxide blonde.' "One large source of hair getting is gone. There is a large falling off in the supply from Brittany, where we used to send agents. It was not at all uncommon in the old days for girls to sell their splendid tresses that they might purchase their wedding trousseau, alid in the furnishing of the future home, and thereby hasten the marriage ceremony. Even the wilces of well-to-do farmers would barter their locks for prized trinkets. "Then the tricksters, with false jewels and bogus satins, appeared. They killed the goose that laid the golden egg, and in many instances came near getting killed themselves. The young men and the old men grew weary of shock-halred women who had little to show for the sacrifice of their good looks. It became customary, as soon as the hair agent set up his tent at a fair, to topple it over on him. His goods were scattered to the winds, and then he would be so beaten that he was glad to escape with his life to seek some new, less dangerous, and less profitable business.

A naturalist has been making certain observations, on the toilings of certain ants; and has discovered each insect goes through most elaborate ablutions. They are not only performed by herself, but by another, who acts for the time as lady's maid. The assistant starts by washing the face of her companion, and then goes over the whole body. The attitude of the ant that is being washed is one of intense satisfaction. She lies down with all her limbs stretched loosely out; she rolls over on her side, even her back, a perfect picture of ease. The pleasure the little insect evinces in being thus combed and sponged is really enjoyable to the observer. --- SHIPWRECKED.

BATHS OF RADIANT HEAT. Pain Banished by Electric Light Treatment. A heat and light treatment which has caused much comment lately among scientists, says the London Express, is the Dowsing system, that consists chiefly in directing electric heat rays on the body of the person subject for treatment. The system is used in cases of rheumatism, gout, sclatica, lumbago and similar diseases and certain forms of tubercular troubles. These rays are claimed to be the nearest approach to the sun's rays obtainable by artificial means. The great advantage peculiar to this treatment lies in the ability of the electric rays to penetrate the body going direct to the part or parts of the trouble. To undergo this treatment the person is first placed upon a bed, after removing all clothing, and wrapped smugly in the covers, with the head only outside. The rays are then turned on, and the subject is literally bathed in heat. The patient by this system is subjected to a temperature of 300 or 400 degrees. The person does not experience any discomfort, notwithstanding this great heat. Ordinary heat of this high intensity would do the human body to a turn, but these electric rays, being dry, evaporate the excreteed perspiration. This method just mentioned is for general treatment. For local complaints there are detached reflectors, which are held a little away from the affected part, so that the heat plays upon the place and searches out the disease. The Dowsing system has also been used with some success in the treatment of tubercular joints, and it is believed if the heat rays could be made to penetrate the patient's lungs they would kill the bacillus of consumption. An apparatus of this character has been installed in Buckingham Palace, for the use of the King, and when Mr. Chamberlain was suffering from a recent attack of gout this treatment was resorted to with success.

Since a French engineer named Gamond planned a submarine tunnel, in 1857, various projects have been advanced for connecting England with the Continent. The latest is the suggestion of Bunan-Varilla, who wants to build a tunnel to within three kilometers of England; and thence a bridge, which England (which has not favored a tunnel) could destroy at any time in case of danger of a foreign invasion, thus rendering the tunnel useless.

He 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 is due to Lydia E.
