SLAUGHTER IS FRIGHTFUL Gory Record Being Made By Russ and Jap Shocks the World. In Soven Days of Fighting in Vicinity of Mukden. Carnage Brings Out Talk of Peace. General Kuropatkin's southern advance has been beaten back and his army is in retreat. He is, however, fighting doggedly, so as to spare the Russian army from utter rout. It is now estimated that the combined losses of the Japanese and Russians, including killed, wounded and missing will reach 60,000. At the close of the seventh consecutive day of fighting between Mukden and Liao-Yang, the battle was still raging Sunday night, the Russians offering a stubborn resistance to the fierce onslaught of the Japanese. The sacrifice of life has been appalling. Estimates of the Russian losses alone in killed and wounded at the end of the sixth day's fighting being concededly 30,000, while it seems probable it aggregated at that time 40,000. Japanese official reports estimate that 10,600 Russian dead were left on the battlefield, up to the night of October 14, and claim that the Japanese losses are small by comparison with those, of the Russians. General Kuropatkin's report to Emperor Nicholas depicts the desperate character of the fighting and praises the valor of the troops, indicating, however, that he is hard pressed, with the result still in the balance. All hope of succoring Port Arthur this season has been abandoned. St. Petersburg has an unconfirmed report that the Japanese General Nodzu has been seriously wounded. A question of interest in St. Petersburg is the fate of General Kuropatkin as a factor in Russian military situation. A Tokio dispatch says: Field Marshal Oyama estimates the Russian dead left on the field, including the fighting of the 15th (Saturday) at over 10,000. Under investigation, the total Russian dead left in front of the center army, are estimated at 2,500. The enemy's dead, already investigated, the report totals at 5,550, but the enemy's losses during the two days of fierce engagements on October 14 and 15, are not included in this number. Moreover, there are some undiscovered dead by all of the armies, so that the enemy's dead left on the field will reach a total of over 10,000. A Mukden special says: There was a lull in the battle Saturday, but fighting was continued Sunday on the right. The army is southwest ten miles. It is now certain that the army will be able to extricate itself. The losses will amount to 30,000. St. Petersburg Hears of Tragedy. A St. Petersburg special says: The official veil was lifted Monday from the ghastly tragedy around Shahke; obut even the official report, supplemented by numerous press dispatches, leaves much uncertainty as to the situation. Out of the fragmentary mass of information at hand, it is possible only to conclude that the costly withdrawal and retreat from Liao-Yang is being duplicated even on a grander scale, after more desperate fighting and heavier losses. General Kuropatkin's story leaves the Russians still tenaciously holding the north bank of the Shahke river, but general belief is that this is only the desperate final of one of the greatest military dramas of history, and that the Russian army as a whole GUN EXPLOSION PILLS THREE. Fatal Accident Occura While Soldiers Were at Practice. Three United States soldiers were killed and eight were injured, one fatally, by the premature explosion of powder as a ten-inch mortar was being loaded at Fort Banks, Winthrop, Saturady. The artillery men were having the customary morning practice in the mortar battery which overlooks the entrance to Boston harbor. One shot had been fired and the gun was being reloaded for a second trial when the explosion occurred. The Savannah Tribune. is retiring toward Mukden, having suffered at the most conservative estimate, a loss of 30,000. All of the wounded are being carried to Harbin, farther north. It is understood that the correspondents also have been ordered to Harbin, which indicates the retreat will not even stop at Tie Pass. All hopes of the world-heralded advance to Port Arthur have been abandoned. The weather conditions are even worse than during the retreat from Liao-Yang. Streams are bank high and fords are impassable; but it is impossible to say how this will affect the final situation. It may prove Russia's salvation by preventing a Japanese pursuit. On the other hand, however, if the Russians are on the wrong side, the flooded rivers may only emphasize the completeness of the disaster. Another serious fact that remains undetermined is the ammunition supply. Seven days of furious fighting must have greatly depleted the supply of both armies. Officials express confidence that General Kuropatkin is better off in this respect, but at last reports the Japanese were bombarding as if the were sure of an inexhaustible supply. Awful Slaughter Suggests Peace. A later dispatch from Tokio is as follows: There is a strong appeal for peace in the appalling tragedy which is now under enactment in Manchuria. Both armies have fought ferociously for a week and desperate fighting continues. It is probable that the death roll will be largely increased before the final shot is fired. The preliminary reports indicate that about 60,000 men of both sides have been either killed or wounded, the larger portion of them being Russians, since the armies closed in combat. Even the Japanese, to whom the great victory is of paramount importance, seem to be shocked by the slaughter of their enemies. The Japanese people are receiving the news from the field of battle calmly, and there can be heard no shouts in the streets proclaiming the victory of their nation. Few flags are displayed. Probably later on there will be a procession with the consequent jollification, but there are heard many expressions of opinion that no demonstration of any kind should be held. A prominent Japanese said to the Associated Press correspondent: "We have won a sweeping victory which may prove to be the salvation of our country's existence, but regrets both our own losses and the terrible slaughter which our forces have inflicted on the enemy. We regret still more the necessity which forced us to engage in this war." A member of the diplomatic corps, in an interview with the correspondent of the Associated Press, said: "I believe the world will recolt from the slickening slaughter of this battle. Every interest of humanity demands the adjustment of the differences between the two nations and the proclamation of peace. "The situation between the two beligerents is a delicate one, but what a splendid triumph for diplomacy it would be if peace could be arranged. It seems to be that the question of honor is no longer involved. If Russia feels that such a question is involved, surely the heroic and successful defense of Port Arthur, and the valor shown by Russian soldiers on the fields of Manchuria should forever determine the quality of Russian courage. Russia should remember that the distance dividing her strength and the limitations of her railway are historical factors in this war. These factors are generally known. They are appreciated by everybody and are not looked on as faults." MONUMENT TO RANSOM. North Carolinians Begin Movement to Honor Departed Statesman. A movement has begun in Raleigh, N. C., which has the ardent support of the state officers, for the erection of a statue of the late United States Senator Matt W. Ransom, the purpose being to place this in the capitol square in which there is a statue of the late Z. B. Vance. It is stated that the funds could be quickly raised. It is declared that Ransom did more for his state while in congress than every other man it has ever had to represent it there. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. OCTOBER 22 1904.

Cabinet Hears from Postmaster General Wynne as to Amount Needed for the Next Fis A Washington special says: A good part of the time of the cabinet meeting Tuesday was consumed in hearing a report from Secretary Metcalfe, indicating what progress he had made towards carrying out the president's instructions respecting the officials involved in the General Slocum disaster. Secretary Taft also presented to the attention of the president and the cabinet the subject of legislation for the canal zone. He also told of what had been accomplished toward smoothing down the difficulties that had arisen between the canal zone authorities and the Panama government, and it is expected that a formal statement will be soon issued defining the policy which this government is to adopt toward the zone. Postmaster General Wynne took up with the president the estimates of appropriation for the postoffice department, submitting to the president the final figures of the estimates. Increase of Twelve Millions The total amount estimated for the needs of the department is $183,748,495, as against an appropriation for the current fiscal year of $170,845,990, the increase in the estimates for the ensuing year over the appropriation for the current year being $512,902,496. For the service in general, which means the service outside the city of Washington, the figures for the postmaster general's office show no increase over the current year. On the contrary, there is a reduction of $5,000. In the office of the first assistant, where the salaries of postmasters and renewals are allowed, the increase is $2,927,300, which is in exact proportion to the growth of business based on previous experience. The increase in the bureau of the second assistant for the transportation of mails is $2,552,771. This indicates the expected growth in the volume of mail matter to be handled during the next fiscal year. The total estimated for this office is $76,928,500. The increase in the appropriation for the office of third assistant, who has charge of the printing of stamps and stamped envelopes and for the account of the department, is $130,000, the total being $1,855,500. The increase estimated for the office of the fourth assistant included $109,550 for postoffice, inspectors, $1,151,575 for free delivery service and $6,003,300 for rural service, a total increase of $7,287,425. Nearly the total deficiency which congress will be asked to provide for the department for the current year is included in the amount asked for in the rural free delivery. The total postal revenue for the year ended June 30, 1904, was $143,582,624. The estimated revenue for 1905 on the basis of 9 per cent increase is $156,505,060. The appropriation for 1905 is $170,845,998, leaving a deficit for 1905 of $14,340,938. The estimated revenue for 1906 is $170,590,515, estimated expenditures, $183,748,495, estimated deficit $13,-157,980. The current appropriation by congress for the free delivery service for the current year is $20,514,600, and the estimate of the appropriation needed for the same purpose during the next fiscal year is $26,822,900. Roosevelt's Birthplace Leased. The house at No. 28 East Twelfth street, New York city, in which President Roosevelt was born, has been leased by a republican campaign club. The latter was organized only recently, but has a membership of more than 150. HELEN KELLAR DAY. World's Fair Directors Honor Deaf, Dumb and Blind Young Woman. Helen Keller day, named in honor of Miss Helen Adams Keller, of Alabama, who, born deaf, dumb and blind, has acquired national fame through her educational success, and the only person in whose honor the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Company has designated a special day, was celebrated at the world's fair ground Tuesday with exercises participated in by prominent educators of the deaf, dumb and blind from all parts of the United States. A "MASTERLY" RETREAT. St. Petersburg Disposed to Uphold Kuropatkin and Hopes for Better Turn of Affairs. According to Tuesday's dispatches, St. Petersburg has been cheered by the report that General Kuropatkin has resumed the offensive and by the news of the destruction of the Japanese command under General Yamada, and the capture of Lone Tree hill, which is represented to be the key to the position on the southwest fronts of the contending armies. There seems no immediate prospect of a cessation of the fighting that has been in progress for the past ten days, although there are signs that on both sides the supply of ammunition is falling short and that the limit of endurance of the troops must have been nearly reached. Advices from Mukden state that the army is so near that the environs of the city have been depopulated. All Mukden are filled with refugee native fig. The roads south and southwest of Mukden are filled with refugee native families, trailing homeless toward the sorry streets of Mukden. The fighting of October 17 was confined to the Russian center at Shante river, and was mostly artillery fire, the Japanese using big guns and high explosive shells. During nine days of the fighting the losses were never less than 2,000 per day. The hospitals are hardly able to handle the wounded Nevertheless they performed wonders. The Chinese have deserted all the villages and the troops are using the wood work of their houses for fuel. The country south is desolated. The Japanese still seem to be exerting themselves to force the Russians out of Mukden. A battle is assured in the positions surrounding the town. It becomes more and more evident that the resources of the country cannot support a large army. General Kuropatkin remains with the troops, having abandoned his headquarters at Mukden. BARRED BY BLACK WIFE. White Army Surgeon Who Married Negro Woman Will Be Discharged From Hospital Corps. A Washington dispatch says: The surgeon general of the army has concurred in the recommendation of General Grant that John J. Smith, a member of the United States hospital corps, stationed at Fort Mott, N. J., who is said to have married a negress, be discharged from the army for "the good of the service." This recommendation has been forwarded, to the secretary of war for his action. Smith wrote to the war department inquiring if there was any reason why he should not be permitted to marry a colored woman, setting forth that her character was good and that he could establish good character for himself by his record. Anoter dispatch says: President Roosevelt is face to face with the negro problem in one of its ugliest phases. Private John Smith, U. S. A., hospital corps, stationed at Fort Mott, New Jersey, has married a negro woman. His commanding officer, Surgeon Shallenber, has recommended his dismissal. The commanding officer of the fort refused to indorse this recommendation. It was approved, however, by the surgeon general. Smith's plea is that if the constitutional commander in chief thinks a negro good enough to eat with, he should not object to a private in the army marrying a negress. Smith is a white man. FILIPINOS SLAUGHTERED. Constabulary Force Kills Outlaw Oyemo and Fifty of His Followers. A Manila special of Tuesday says: A force under Lieutenant Pogge, constabulary, has defeated a large number of Pulanjans in the mountains of eastern Samar, killing the notorious outlaw, Oyomo and fifty of his followers. KITE FLYING CONTEST. Unique Aeronautic Spectacle Is Witnessed at the World's Fair. With eighteen enquiries, representing America, England and Japan, the first kite flying contests of the kind ever held began Monday in the aeronautic concourse, the Stadium, and other clear places at the world's fair. Among the contestants were Dr. Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone bearing that name; Professor E Eddle, inventor of the Eddle kite, and Captain Baden-Powell, of England. Forms of kites never before seen in this part of the world were shown. NO. 3. DIVORCEES BARRED Episcopal House of Bishops. Forbid All Remarriages. A STRICT AMENDMENT No Minister Allowed to Perform Ceremony Where Either Candidate for Matrimony Have Living Husband. or Wife. A Boston dispatch says: The house of bishops, one of the legislative bodies of the Episcopal general convention, Monday adopted an amendment to the canon on marriage and divorce, forbidding the remarriage of any divorced persons. The amendment was substantially the same as that which was rejected by the house of deputies on Friday last. The action of the bishops was not unexpected, as the sentiment of the body was well known. In fact, a similar amendment was passed at the San Francisco convention three years ago, but failed, as was the case this year, to secure the support of the other house. A conference of committees representing the bishops and the deputies will be held to consider the disagreement, but heading clergymen do not anticipate that the deputies will recede from their vote of last week. The amendment is as follows: "No clergyman shall solemnize a marriage between any two persons unless by inquiry he shall have satisfied himself that neither person has been husband or wife of any other person then living, from whom he or she has been divorced for any cause arising after marriage." Several additional amendments were put before the house of bishops, one of which is that a divorced person shall not be admitted to the sacraments. There is a proviso however, that the sacraments shall not be refused a penitent person in imminent danger of death, nor to any person who shall solemnly aver that he or she was the innocent person in a divorce for the cause of adultery. Another amendment which was adopted compels all clergymen to observe closely the state laws on marriages and provides for the presence of at least two witnesses. Crazed by cigarettes, Lieutenant Slava Fellow Officer and Self. A Manila special says: Second Lieutenant William D. Pritchard, in a fit of insanity, shot and killed Second Lieutenant Frederick D. Dean. He then shot and killed himself. Both officers were attached to the Thirteenth regiment, United States cavalry, stationed at Camp Slotzenberg. Lieutenant Pritchard was a son of Judge Peter C. Pritchard, of the United States circuit court in Virginia and North Carolina. A dispatch from Raleigh, N. C., says: The suicide of Lieutenant Pritchard in the Philippines causes expressions of sorrow and the deepest sympathy to be sent to his father, Judge Pritchard, from all parts of North Carolina. Lieutenant Pritchard was almost unknown here, having visited Raleigh only twice, and then only for a day or two. Inquiry made regarding him shows that he was in 1898 a superb specimen of manhood, weighing 200 pounds and over six feet tall. He was then appointed a lieutenant of volunteers that year and wen to the Philippines, where he served on the staff of Colonel Thad Jones, in the cavalry. He was mustered out and appointed a lieutenant of cavalry in the regular army. In the interval, he had become a victim of the cigarette habit, and this had so afflicted him physically that he was, when, thus appointed to the army, cadaverous. He was so addicted to the habit that it is said he got up nightly to smoke. It is believed that this caused mental aberration, and led to the killing of his brother officer and his own suicide. CHILDREN DIE IN FLAMES. Holocaust In Tenement District of Brooklyn Caused by Incendiaries. Six lives were lost, nearly a score of persons were injured and the loss of more than a hundred thousand dollars were endangered in an early morning tenement house fire in the Williamsburg section in Brooklyn, N. Y., Monday. With one exception all the dead are children, and of eight who were so badly hurt that they were removed to a hospital, the oldest is a fourteen-year-old girl. Incendiaries are thoughtbeen responsible for the fatal fire. SON - a ~ The Savannah Tribune. Postma Every STueDarT, BY THE TRIBUNE PUBLISHING CO 116 W, St. Julian Street. * Ga.

S. Kelson. During his etay there he gained a little strength and final- ly left for his former home at Wind- aor, Ontario, where surrounded by lovea ones, his mother and sister,bis condition was slightly improved. Prior to his death hopeful reports were received from him, In the latter part of the seventies, Prof, Ross came to this city. He was engaged in private school teach- ing and afterward taught in the public school syatem of the county. About twenty years ago he was elected principal of the East Broad St. School and retained his position until last winter when he was given a leave of absence with part pay- ment, on account of hie health. Many are hig ‘students who can at- test to bis ability as o teacher and the deep interest he manifested in their welfare even after they laft the school room. There was nothing narrow or selfish about Prof. Koss, He was distinctly a man of the people. He was ever ready and willing4to help all worthy causes and enterprises of the race, especially in encouraging his students after school*Jife in their avocations. Matters not what may be gaid of his faults the above are facts, and added to that he had not a scintilla of selfishness, neither in words or action. Hie duties in the school room were not too exacting for him to take an active part in church work. In his charch he was ‘deacon and was Superintendent of the Sunday School until bis health fuiled him. He was one of the Jeading Knights of Pythiasin the country. He assiat- ed in foatering that order in this city and state and was among the oldest members ‘of Crescent Lodge of this city. He wasan active member and Past Grand Chancellor of the arder in the state. Through his wise connselling and management while Grand Chancellor many of the reforms now enjoyed in the order were inaugurated, He was Supreme Chancellor of the entire order and his ability in that direction is known wherever true Sir Knights are located. Prof. Ross was member of Opal Conrt, I. 0. 0. C., and at his death was Grand Receiver of Deposits of the Grand Court. . Prof. Rosa leaves a wife, mother and sister, and a host of friends to mourn his death. The remains were buried at Windsor, Ontario, where his mother and sister reside. Resolutions.

Whoever smites the wrong, the right upholding, In spite of error's clamoring cries; Who protrudes the sage, the truth un- folding. Whoever hits his hand against oppression, Wherever the blighting curse may fall, Whoever makes his life a sweet expression Of love of equal rights for all, Whoever the work of hand or brain be stowing, Assists the tyrant's claims to sever, Though humble deeds he does, some seed is sowing Whose fruits shall gladden hearts for ever. An African By ROBERT BAR ED and I lay stretched but on the warm sand, watching our gritte draw a diagram of a proposed hunting trip on one side of a smooth stone. Ned offered ED and I lay stretched but on the warm sand, watching our knife draw a diagram of a proposed hunting trip on one side of a smooth stone. Ned offered occasional suggestions and asked inumerable questions, all of which Rizzo truthfully answered, while I looked on in silence. "But see here, old man," said my fellow tourist, abruptly, "isn't this the place where the forty thieves are supposed to hang out?" Our guide chrugged his shoulders, and in broken English suggested that if we were afraid to venture on the trip we could stay at Alexandria and be quite out of reach of the robbers. "But we are not afraid," I interposed; "we only want to be prepared for the robbers in case they put in an appearance." "No robbers—no need prepare," Rienzo sald, earnestly. "I been there before, many a time." This popular American phrase brought a smile to Ned's lips, as he closed the contract. Ned and I were visiting my uncle, who was then the United States Consult at Cairo. We had planned a hunting trip up the Kazaan River long before we met Rienzo; but Uncle Dick would not let us go alone, and it was only after much persuasion that he consented to a journey under the supervision of the dark-skinned native. There had been numerous stories floating about of a band of robbers supposed to exist in that locality; but this, instead of deterring us, only made us both Ned particularly—more anxious to go. It was very early the next morning when Rienzo called us. So early, in fact, that Ned refused to get up for some time, and I was almost forced to pull him out of bed. But we got started finally, and when we hated, late in the afternoon, Ned and I took a run of several hundred yards to, stretch our stiffened legs, and when we returned Rienzo had made all the preparations for spending a night in camp. Aroundthe evening we tramped along the river in search of game, but with indifferent success, and it was not until the next morning that our hopes in that line were realized. Rienzo and I were kneeling together behind a clump of bushes about midday, a pile of game lying at our feet, Ned was some distance from me, but I could hear him banging away whenever the sky was darkened by a flock of ducks. I had just finished reloading my shotgun, and was about to take alu at a single bird sitting on the sand some distance away, when Rlenzo help up a warning finger. "No shoot," he whispered. "Lay down-quick." I dropped to the ground, wondering what his sudden action meant. "Keep still—I fetch boy," he went on, in a low tone of voice, and the next instant he had walked quietly away. I lay on the ground several moments before he returned, bringing Ned with him. They had evidently held a consultation, for, as soon as they reached me. Ned whispered: "Renzy says we are in for it now, old man. That story, about the robbers is only too true." "What do you mean?" I asked eagerly. "Have you seen——" "Hush!" interrupted Ned, in a guarded voice. "Don't speak so loud. Renzy says he knows they are around here somewhere, probably attracted by our shooting." We crawled on our hands and knees for several hundred yards, and then I became disgusted with our guide's plan of action, and halted abruptly. "Camels gone," he groaned. "We no good!" "I guess you're right," agreed Ned. sitting down. "Those thieves have taken our beasts, and for my part, I'm glad of it. Let's stay here and shoot them as they come up." "No care," said Rlenzo. "They shoot too-many more." "Then what are we to do?" I asked anxiously. "Those fellows will be here in a little while. Can't we hide somewhere?" This suggestion seemed to bring an idea into the brilliant intellect of our guide, and he at once set, forth a plan which we strenuously objected to at first, but were finally forced to adopt. It was simply a scheme to bury us alive to hide us from the robbers, and we set about at once to put it in operation. For fully an hour we dug in the soft Whoe'er to un-afflicted brother, needing. Extends the hand of charity. Whoe'er binds up a heart that's broken, bleeding. With bonds of love and sympathy. Whoe'er, by kindly word or act bestowing. Binds human hearts more close together.

BARNES CRAMER. sand and then, everything being ready, Ned and I stretched ourselves out in the excavation, and permitted Hienzo to shovel the earth upon the lower part of our bodies with the stocks of our rifles. This done, he disappeared for some minutes, and then returned with two peculiarly shaped gourds, which he had evidently picked up in the woods. With a skill that excited my admiration, he cut away a piece from the narrow neck of the vegetable and then another from its large, round, hollow body. This done, he fitted the larger end over our nostrils, permitting the smaller one to project an inch or two above the ground. Having done this, he covered us up completely with the sand and smoothed over the top so us not to show any signs of its having been disturbed. Then he went away. For about an hour we lay there in silence, suffering terribly from the heat of our ridiculous position, but not daring to move for fear of disarranging the mechanism of our breathing apparatus. At the end of that time Ned spoke: "Say, Jack." His voice was muffled and almost inaudible—sounding somewhat as if he was talking over a telephone wire, but he managed to make himself heard. "Well?" I answered. "I don't want to say anything against the character of Rienzo, but——" "Shut up," said I, "some one may hear you." My fellow sufferer subsided for several minutes, and then—— "I tell you, old man," he went on, "that Denzy is playing a trick on us. I believe he's gone himself to——" "Keep still," I whispered. "I shan't do it. That old rascal—say, Jack, I'm going to get up." I was horrified at the proposition, but before I could protest, he had leaped to his feet, and with an inward groan I followed his example. Our appearance above ground created a sensation. II. Major Dunworthy sat on a camp stool with his legs crossed and a long-stemmed pipe resting in one hand. He was telling a story. The party consisted of thirty English students under the leadership of Major Dunworthy, and they were making a pleasure trip through the interesting portions of Egypt and Nubia. The Major himself was a well informed man of the world who had traveled in every civilized country on earth, and in many that were not civilized. At the time of his introduction to the reader he was engaged in giving a very interesting and exciting account of an adventure which once befel him in India. "Now, my boys," he said, putting away at his huge pipe, "we are comfortably settled for the night. I wish some of you would build a good fire in front of the big tent to cook those fish over. When you get ready I will show you how to broil them. I don't want to trust any of you boys again, after spoiling those muckerel we caught the other day." The young men gathered wood for the fire, while the littlg Major went on: "Speaking of fish puts me in mind of something that happened to me in India a long time ago." If they had spoken of gunpowder or steamboats the result would have been the same—but let that pass. "I was there for several years, and I saw the most surprising things that any mortal man could ever think of. You may talk about your sleight-of-hand performers and jugglers, but I tell you, boys, there isn't anything can equal those Indian fakirs. "Now, they'll take a pipe—just an ordinary pipe like this—and put some kind of stuff in it that'll burn like coal oil, and light it. You can see it fame up out of the bowl of the pipe. Then one of them will put his lips to the end of the stem and suck all that fire into his mouth as if it were smoke. I never saw anything like it, but that was the easiest thing in the whole lot. "Next, some more of the fakirs built a pile of shavings and logs on the grounds and danced about it and yelled for all they were worth. Then, pretty soon the man that had taken if the fire went up to the pile and kneeled by it and breathed—yes, sir, just breathed on the wood, and it got afire." The Major paused for breath and looked complacently about him. As a story teller he was the equal of Baron Munchausen, and, Being encouraged by his auditors, he proceeded: "The pile of wood took fire easy as anything, and burned like so much straw for about fifteen minutes. Then," continued this. Major, impressively, while the students held their breath, "a man came out of the ground where that fire had been, and——" A faint shriek from the story teller, a gasp of terror from his circle of listeners, and a yell of fear from those in the immediate vicinity of the fire, accompanied a sudden scattering of the flames as two forms bounded into the air. "I'd rather die this minute," said Ned, hiding about him, while I trembled in my shoes, "than stay down there and be roasted. These fellows built their fire right on top of me." We must have frightened the party nearly to death, for with our soiled clothes and dirty faces, and the unfortunate time of our resurrection, not one of the students would approach us, while the Major lay on his back panting out a supplication for us to treat him like a gentleman and a soldier. Hienzo came back some time afterward, and meekly admitted that the camels had strayed off and made the noise which he thought had emanated from the band of robbers. "Rienzo," said Ned, solemnly, "you are a fool." "Me tink dem so; no bury else," was his logical reply, which, translated, means that he wouldn't have buried us, if he hadn't thought we were in imminent danger of being murdered by the thieves. "And you've got the camels back?" I asked. "Yep—all right, came!." "Then let's go home." Ned assented, and as soon as we could get our game and camping outfit fastened on the camels' backs, we started on the return trip to Alexandria. When we reached the hotel we discharged our guide and went to bed, not rising until late the next day, when we found the gallant Major Dunworthy awaiting us in the parlor downstairs. He came to assure us that the rumor of his hair having turned white with fright at the conclusion of his remarkable story was a vicious falsehood set afloat by jealous enemies.—New York News Simple Creations. These are generally the most costly garments you can have—costliness that apes economy; garments apparently made of unobtrusive materials, but which cost guineas a yard. Such garments cannot be often repeated, and therefore are charged a higher price. A good deal of purple is being worn just now, especially in cloth, but about the skirt there does not seem to be any trimming at all. All the gorgeousness is reserved for the bodge. Very simple net skirts are rendered rulished by the incrustations of velvet and the addition of chenille fringe, and, whatever the groundwork of the dress, the ornamentation is the sage! Crepe de chine is one of these delusive fabrics; it looks simple and costs a fortune, says the Queen. Many of them are being made up with a sort of underskirt. We are veering toward triple skirts, but as yet we only see treble bounces. The one touch of economy in any of the modes is that a good gown, with a very little alteration, can be made to answer a double purpose, and this especially applies to panne and glace for evening and day wear—New York Evening Telegram. He Forgot. "You see that well-dressed fellow coming across the street?" I bet you are afraid to ask him to direct you to Third and Market streets," said Chief of Detectives John Martin the other day. "I'm not looking for trouble," replied the reporter. "But why?" "That's Jimmie Blank. It's an old story, but it's always fresh to Jimmie, because his old friends always have it on tap when they meet him. "Fifteen years ago Jimmie was a bunco man. One day on, Kearny street he walked up to a seedy looking young fellow and asked him the way to Third and Market streets. "The stranger, with a scornful look, strolled across the street. "Long afterward Jimmie met the same chap, and not recognizing him, asked: "Say, old man, I am a stranger in town. Can you show me the way to Third and Market streets?" "Well, for the Lord's sake, haven't you found that place yet? You asked me that question more than a year ago,' was the reply."—San Francisco Call. Two Kaisers. In many ways the two Kaisers—Francis Joseph and Wilhelm II.—present many points of contrast. In nothing, perhaps, is this more marked than in the feverish activity of the younger man and the quiet calm of the elder. The German Emperor comes near to realizing the idea of perpetual motion; he is essentially the traveling Kaiser, and has visited every city of importance in Europe—Paris, perhaps, excepted. Even Paris he is said to visit incognito. The Austrian Emperor, on the other hand, rarely leaves his own dominions, and now, having reached the age of seventy-four, he announces that he is no longer equal to the fatigue of paying return visits.—Pall Mall Gazette. Gallantry: Is gallantry 'dying out?' Several newspapers headed an item of news last week; "A-Woman-Burglar." We may be old fashioned, but we prefer the more courteous expression, "Lady Burglar."-London P. Pluck Adventure. FED BEAR MATCHES! He was a venerable and intelligent man and had been a great traveler, and he kingly undertook to while away an idle hour by telling a reporter of the true inwardness of California life in the footills of the Sierra. "As to your question about grizzlies," he said, "I'll tell you my first and rather remarkable experience with one of those definiets. I was a kid, not yet twenty, and new to the region of the Sierraes, having come from the Bast but a few months before. On a moonlight night early in April I was gently meandering home on mulback. I was unarmed with the exception of a pocket knife, for I had foolishly lent my pistol to a friend early in the day. I had almost reached the ranch, having only a short stretch of ground to pass. I had heard the settlers glide respectfully to Old Ephraim. They said he was the fiercest in the spring, after his winter's siesta. He's always an ugly customer, and after a man has had a wipe or two from his talons there is seldom enough left of that man to tell the tale. "On this evening I speak of I was dead tired, as I had been riding all day. I had almost fallen asleep on my mule, when—my word! how that mule did jump! Standing ahead, as large as life, on the bank of a little brook, was a big grizzly. He grilled at me and growled in a way calculated to agitate the nerves of Ajax, the fellow who deified the lightning, much more those of a tenderfoot, as I was tilen. "I had heard enough to know that if I turned tall, that is, the mule's tail, I could leave Ephraim behind me; but on the other side of him was home, and I had my share of grit even then. I had heard of the notion entertained by some people that a man can master the most ferocious wild creature by looking him in the eyes and advancing straight upon him. Even a greenhorn would back out of such an experiment with Ephraim, the most ferocious of wild creatures. Suddenly I remembered I had in my pocket a large box filled with friction matches, those made with plenty of brimstone for use in a strong wind. An idea occurred to me, and I patted and encouraged the mule, who trembled so that I thought she would drop down under me, and urged her boldly right in the face of old Burin. When within a few feet I suddenly struck a dozen matches and threw them right into his open jaws. Never was there a more sudden change from malignant ferocity to the most abject cowardice. The huge brute actually cowered and shook with terror equal to that of the mule herself. "This was something altogether outside of his experience. I suppose he thought he had struck a prairie fire on muleback. Even the mule saw the situation and gained courage. She advanced, and I kept a continuous shower of burning matches. $_{p}$ Luckily a rather strong wind blew from me and carried away the fumes. In fact, this is what brought the varmint to me. To cut things short, old Eph turned tall and ignominiously fled. "Now, stranger, I might proceed to relate further how I stuck to the heels of that old grizzly, and kept setting fire to his fur until he was entirely burned up, but in this skeptical age it may be well to suppress some of the facts of the case, for fear of being doubted." >Liverpool (Eng.) Mercury. BACK OF THE fact that nine enlisted men of the Fourteenth Cavalry have recently been proved not guilty of the charge of desertion, which involves dishonorable discharge and imprisonment, and have been found guilty of being "absent without leave," which involves a fine and a short term in the guard-house, there is an example of what an American soldier will endure for the sake of active service, and what he can't endure stationed in barracks. When the Fourteenth Cavalry was organized some two years ago, men rushed to enlist because they thought the regiment would be sent to the Philippines. Two years rolled by, and for those two years a battalion of the Fourteenth was stationed at Fort Duchesne, Utah, the most forsaken most on the army map—a station "ninety miles of the map and 200 miles from anywhere." While the men were eating their hearts out there word came last spring that if they wanted to reenlist they could get their discharges at once and re-enter the army for another three years. The news dew like wildfire, and, as it was generally understood that this meant the regiment was going to the islands, almost every man renewed his oath. In August the long wished for but will-o'-the-wisp order came for the Fourteenth to start for the railroad station enroute for the Philippines. They didn't stop for dinner that night, but began breaking camp that hour, and in a short time the battalion was started on its two days' "like" to the railroad. But when it had covered a little more than half the journey a dusty, perspiring courier overtook it with a telegram stating that the regiment's sailing orders had been revoked and the battalion ordered to return to camp. That night two of the men bought horses and disappeared, and for days following man after man silently faded away. Some were caught, but others remained out of reach. Then, when the battalion seemed threatened with disintegration, from Washington there flashed across the wires the word that the War Depart- might had exercised is prerogative and the troops would proceed to the islands. As silently and mysteriously as they had disappeared, the self-absent soldiers began to dispose themselves at points where their officers could not avoid seeing them and putting them under arrest. Nine of them were tried by a court martial upon their arrival at Presidio with the Fourteenth en route to the Philippines. But when their chaplaiif told his story the court reduced the charge to absence without leave and sent them along with their regiment on the last transport. General MacArthur reviewed the case and agreed with the court.—San Francisco Chronicle. DU CHALLU'S FIRST GORILLA. Suddenly an immense gorilla advanced out of the wool straight toward us, and gave vent, as he came up, to a terrible howl of rage, as much as to say, "I am tired of being pursued, and will face you." It was a lone male, the kind which are always the most ferocious. This fellow made the woods resound with his roar, which is really an awful sound, resembling the rolling and muttering of distant thunder. He was about twenty yards off when we first saw him. We at once gathered together, and I was about to take alm and bring him down where he stood, when my most trusted man, Malnonen, stopped the, saying in a whisper, "Not time yet." We stood, therefore, in silencio, gun in hand. The gorilla looked at us for a minute or so out of his evil eyes, then beat his breast with his gigantic arms—and what arms he had!—then gave another howl of defiance and advanced upon us. How terrible he looked! I shall never forget it. Again he stopped, not more than fifteen yards away. Still Mila sonen said, "Not yet." Good gracious! What is to become of us if our guns miss fire, or if we only wound the great beast? Again the gorilla made an advance upon us. Now he was not twelve yards off. I could see plainly his ferocious face. It was distorted with rage; his huge teeth were ground against each other, so that we could hear the sound; the skin of the forehead was drawn forward and back rapidly, which made his hair move up and down and gave a truly devilish expression to his hideous face. Once more the most horrible monster ever created by Almighty God gave a roar, which seemed to shake the woods like thunder. I could really feel the earth trembling under my feet. The gorilla, looking us in the eye, and beating his breast, advanced again. "Don't fire too soon," said Maloneon; "if you don't kill him he will kill you." This time he came within eight yards or us before he stopped. I was breathing fast with excitement as I watched the huge beast. Maloneon only said, "Steady," as the gorilla came up. When he stopped, Maloneon said, "Now!" And before he could utter the roar for which he was opening his mouth three musket balls were in his body. He fell dead almost without a struggle. Adventures in Equatorial Africa. A. DISTINGUISHED M. P AN DISTINGUISHED M. P. An M. P. who distinguished himself greatly during the late war in South Africa is Major J. E. B. Seely, who represents the Isle of Wight at St. Stephen's. Major Seely gained the D. S. O. during the campaign, and the manner in which he and a handful of yeomany covered the retreat of their comrades, who had suddenly come upon a large party of concealed Boers, won them, unstinted praise. Major Seely is also one of the crew of the Tolland Bay lifeboat, and it is not strange that in the Isle of Wight they think highly of his courage. Some time back he swam with a line from the lifeboat to a sinking French ship, and was thus instrumental in saving nine lives. For this act of gallantry he received the thanks of the French Government, and he enjoys the distinction of being the only lifeboatman in Parliament. John Burns, however, has saved a man from drowning. In his younger days the member for Battersea was engineer on board a steamer in the Niger, and on the cry of "Man overboard!" being raised, he jumped into the river and effected a rescue.—Montreal Star. RUNNING THE BLOCKADE RUNNING THE BLOCKAGE Sir William Allan, the veteran member of the British Parliament for Gateshead, once made the acquaintance of the inside of a prison as a result of his love for adventure. When a young man, Sir William, then a marine engineer, saw a good deal of the world and faced many perils of the sea. During the war between the Northern and Southern States, the young Scot engaged in the exciting yet dangerous pursuit of blockade running, but on one eventful night the steamer of which he was chief engineer fell a prey to a Federal cruiser. The engine room, where Sir William remained awaiting his fate, was invaded by a Union officer, who, hearing an ominous rush of water, jumped to the erroneous conclusion that the young engineer was sinking the vessel. With a fierce gesture the Federal leveled his revolver at the head of the Scot, but it was not fated that the latter should die that day, though he suffered imprisonment for his blockade running exploits, he was ultimately little the worse for the experience. Parle Dwellings. It is rumored that the Rothschilds propose to spend 10,000,000 francs in the setting up in Paris of dwellings for wage earners, in which the rentals shall be extremely moderate and out of which the owners do not intend to make any profits. Similar work has been done in the Peabody buildings in London and in various extensive enterprises of the sort in a number of leading cities. Tomfoolery TAKE THE CHANCE.

Two Incidents of the Process of Readjustment Going On in the West--Fate of Deserted Towns--Loss of a Whole County -- Some Great House Moving. HE spectacle of a church being moved over the prairies from town to town has attracted much attention in Kansas recently. The Methodist Church of Andale has just made the longest journey of any church on record, forty miles. It went overland to Peek, Kan., in the wake of three traction engines hitched tandem. with the level roads of the prairie region. It will be many years before the West arranges its possessions satisfactorily and decides where it wishes to have its buildings permanently located. The methods by which it remodels and transfers its towns and buildings will in the meantime prove very interesting. Nowhere else is it considered a The town of Andale did not need the church, and Peck did; so the official boards arranged for a transfer of title, and the problem of moving the property was before them. The railroads asked a large sum of money for freight, and to ship the building in that way meant to tear it down and rebuild it. The proposition of taking it overland, laughed at in the beginning, was finally accepted, and the movers secured three of the largest threshing engines of the county for the purpose. The building was placed on trucks with large wheels, and the long trip began. Owing to the smooth roads and the level lands of the Arkansas Valley, there was little trouble in moving the structure. Passing west of Wichita, it arrived at its new landing place without a piece of plaster being disturbed and in as good condition as when it left. It is in readiness for worship, and the owners are proud of their success in obtaining so easily a new edifice. This experience is but a part of the readjustment of the towns of the plains. Hundreds of additions are wiped out by every Legislature. The fast session in Kansas changed about forty paper cities into farm land. Many of these municipalities had a score of buildings, and some aspired to be centres of business activity. They issued maps showing dozens of railroads centering there, factories belching smoke, and street cars rushing to the far suburbs. Eastern people bought lots on the strength of these maps, and then waited for the towns to grow. Instead, they faded away until whole municipalities had but one family left to each. Schoolhouses costing thousands of dollars stood empty, cattle were sheltered in the one-time emporiums of trade. Out in Southwestern Kansas a cattleman owns the entire town site of what was to have been a county seat. Men were killed in the struggle to make prosperous towns of paper cities which have at last gone back to the open plain and have been sold by the acre instead of by the lot. A Boston woman owns a $10,000 schoolhouse in Western Kansas. A homestead has taken possession of a former county seat and its court house. The dreams of many an investor in Western Nebraska and the Dakotas have been shattered by the events of the last few years, while population has been readjusting itself. They tell you in North Dakota of a town built for a great cattle packing centre, on the theory that the packing houses should be located near the range. An Eastern syndicate put hundreds of thousands of dollars into the town. It is described as having brick blocks, plate glass windows, dwellings enough for 5000 persons, and a $200,000 steel bridge—but with no inhabitants except the caretakers. It never succeeded in even the beginnings of its vast undertakings. The people for whom it was built never came. The West is adjusting these errors of early judgment with characteristic promptitude and directness. For instance, in Western Nebraska two towns were rivals for the county seat. One of them, Hemmingford, had secured the honor, but Alliance obtained the railroad's favor, and it became evident that it would be the larger of the two places. So the court house, weighing seventy tons, forty feet high and measuring thirty-six by forty-eight feet, was made rigid by trusses and placed on four trucks of freight cars, with diagonal guy ropes reaching to coal cars carrying 60,000 pounds each, and hauled by an engine at a rate of ten miles an hour to its new location, where it now stands. Out in Western Kansas, at Page City, in Logan County, was a hotel three stories high that became useless because it was in a town with no inhabitants. It was placed on moving trucks and five traction engines were hitched to it such engines as are used in threshing the Western crops—the automobiles of the plains. It was fifty miles to Cove City, but the engines had before them a track as smooth as the surface of a peaceful sca, and they made the journey at a swift walking pace, nothing in, the vast reach of level soil interfering with their trip. The sight was a novel one, as the huge building took its way over the prairie and attracted many spectators. The changing fortunes of Western towns induce the moving of houses over long distances. M. Westhaver, of Sterling, Kan., decided to move to Nickerson. He did not find a sale for his house, so he put it on trucks that welged, with the timbers, nine tons, hitched it to a traction engine and took it ten miles over sandy roads to its new location, where it was set down uninsured. This would be possible only with the level roads of the prairie region. It will be many years before the West arranges its possessions satisfactorily and decides where it wishes to have its buildings permanently located. The methods by which it remodels and transfers its towns and buildings will in the meantime prove very interesting. Nowhere else is it considered a trifling thing to transfer and relocate a city or to change a court house's situation. More than that, a dispatch related the other day that a whole county was lost, the high winds having drifted the sand over the boundary stakes and made it impossible to tell where the limits had been placed. Some day the West will need a new map to describe it as it has finally decided to stay.-Sun. About Ney York the old, one piece bamboo fishing pole is now used more ashore than afloat. There is still good sport going on wherever its supple end waves aloft, but it is a recreation of landsmen and not of the dwellers by salt or fresh water, who would go a-fishing. This modern use of the long canes is to mark the blind holes on golf links. The cup of iron or tin that forms the hole is changed about frequently on the putting green, to keep the turn from being worn off too much in one spot; and save when a hole intervenes the disk or flag will be in view all the way from the tee. To know the exact location of the hole is an aid to the golfer on the approach shots; and when a hillock or a bunker hides the signal, the hole is a blind one and the approach has to be played in a state of doubt. Now, American ingenuity has done much to relieve the blind holes of their terrors by the substitution of an old-fashioned bamboo fishpole on such greens for the short iron rods. In Britain, doubtless, where the existing condition, like the microbe-haunted moss on the cottage thatch, is often preserved because it is old, the blind holes may still have to be approached by blind reckoning. But on the golf courses frequented by New Yorkers, unless the hill that guards the green is an exceptionally high one, the exact location of the hole is apparent by the sight of the flag fluttering on the tall cane rod—New York Sun. The Dawn of History. So far as the question of time is concerned, it deserves notice that not merely geology, but almost every form of inquiry into the past, throws further back the limits usually assigned. Egypt, for instance, is continually furnishing fresh proofs of the antiquity of civilization. Professor Flinders Petrie expounded at Owens College, Manchester, England, a few days ago, the results of recent explorations at Abydos, in Upper Egypt, from which it appears that the ruins at that one spot tell a continuous story that carries us back to 5000 B. C. Abydos was the first capital of Egypt, and remained for forty-five centuries the religious centre, the Canterbury of the land, and there the Egyptian Exploration Fund has unearthed the remains of "ten successive temples, one over the other." From the age of the first temple a group of about 200 objects has been found, which throw surprising light on the civilization of the first dynasty. A part of a large glazed pottery vase of Mena, the first king of the first dynasty, about 4700 B. C., showed "that even then they were making glaze on a considerable scale, and also inlaying it with a second color. The ivory carving was 'astonishingly fine, a figure of a king showing a subtlety and power of expression as good as any work of later ages." At about 4000 B. C. an ivory statuette of Cleops, the builder of the great pyramid, was found, the only known portrait of him. Making every possible allowance for the marvellous rapidity of art development, must not many thousands of years have rolled over between the pristine dwellers in the Nile Valley and the men who carved ivory statuettes and manufactured glazed work inlaid with second colors? It is a long, long march from flint implements to the solemn temple ivory statuettes and human portraits.-London Telegraph. Telephone Troubles in Abyssinia. Civilization proceeds with speed in Abyssinia. Nearly 800 miles of telephone wire have already been put up there, and 1000 miles are under construction. The contractor's task, however, is by no means an easy one. The chief trouble is given by elephants, who use the poles as scratching posts, knocking them down in this salubrious exercises, and monkeys who swing on the wires—London Tit-Bits. South African Progress. The Cape to Cairo railroad head is now at Victoria Falls, more than 1000 miles from Cape Town, on the Zambesi. The Victoria Falls Hotel is in progress, and at last accounts had already accommodations for forty guests, the accommodations including electric lights. THE GUARANTY AID AND RELIEF SOCIETY L. E.

BOARD OF MANAGERS: Marched valiantly forth in his search for a fray: In threatening style, while he shouted and raved. Small children were nearly scared out of their clothes: While bold chanticleer showed his tall feathers, too. The geese from their puddle with startled cry ran. This terrible monster! What was H—a man? No, never. No peaceable man ever yet. So hideous, came with such noisy threat. "Ha, ha, and ho, ho!" Billy cried with delight. Which brought an entirely different yell. The geese understood, for they turned short around And saw their assailant sprawled flat on the ground. This changed circumstances; the vicious old drake Now charged with a vim that made Billy's heart quake. He scrambled upright and he took to his heels. The drake seemed to hiss, "Now you know how it feels With bugaboos after you. Ho, ha, ho, ho! It does our hearts good just to see how you go." At last Billy said to himself: "What's the use To be a poltroon at the hiss of a goose!" He stopped. The drake stopped; and then each went his way— Which curious thing leads the poet to say: It isn't worth while to retreat till you know The cause of alarm or the strength of your foe. As long as you run from the old bugaboo The bugaboo surely will run after you. —W. W. S., in the Indianapolis News. The New York Mail has finally fixed the responsibility for the baldheadedness of the men of this generation, the Watertown Times-Standard states. It is the nightcap that did the mischief and while it did not make the generation that wore it baldheaded, it weakened the hair producing organs and subsequent generations have had to pay for the same. That is The New York Mail's explanation. It is just as good as any. Still the musician's explanation given a short time ago, that baldheadedness was caused by antagonistic vibrations of certain tunes, is rather better, because it appears so much more scientific and gives range for wider speculation.

She likes some noble, honorable man to be thoughtful of her, kind and considerate of her welfare. When well and becomingly dressed, a quiet notice of it is always appreciated. A word of praise for a nice dinner or supper often more than compensates her for the worry and work of preparation. She wants her husband not to be her supporter but her companion, remembering that it is the kind word that often brings her greater happiness than a new set of dishes, though presents like the latter are always welcome. She likes to be made to realize that she is good for something besides a mere household drudge. She likes to be petted occasionally, but not in public. The little private pet names are very dear to a woman's heart.-Louisville Times. SOUR CREAM BISCUIT. Sift together two cupfuls of flour, half a taespoonful of salt, a teaspoonful of sugar and a rounded teaspoonful of baking powder. Put into a bowl half a cupful of sour cream and half a cupful of sour milk and beat into it half a teaspoonful of soda dissolved in a tablespoonful of cold water. As soon as it stops "singing" stir in with the sifted flour, mix gently but quickly with a spoon and turn on on a well floured board. Pat with the floured hand until a smooth cake is formed, then cut into shapes with a small biscuit cutter or canister top lid. Lay in a greased dripping pan and bake in a hot oven. If you have no cream rub a spoonful of lard or butter in the sifted flour before adding the cup of sour milk and soda. Keep the dough as soft as possible, so that the biscuit will be tender and delicate. Buttermilk biscuit are made in the same way, using a tablespoonful of shortening to a quart of flour. The Rich Men of France. According to M. Neymarck, the statistician, the number of French citizens possessing estates of a realizable cash value exceeding £2,000,000 is under 30, while those possessing estates over £500,000, but under £2,000,000. In value, is about 100. Between 500 and 600 persons possess fortunes averaging from £200,000 to £400,000. Some 4,000 persons in France possess fortunes of between £100,000 and £200,000. About 13,000 French are "millionaires" as the word is understood in France, namey, possessing over £40,000 and up to £90,000. Going lower down the scale, it is estimated that 262,000 Frenchmen possess a capital of between £2,000 and £4,000, and 1,548,000 hold between £400 and £1,900 each—London Globe. A Newark, N.

He had been confined at home about two months before his death. Mr. Toomer was well known in the city. In early manhood he came to this city from Charleston where he was born, and immediately took a lively interest in passing events. He was one of the early instructors in the public school system and has held several public positions. At one time he was superintendent of the carriers of the post office. He was well read and at a time, quite a student of Shakespeare. In politics he was an adept and held quite a sway in the county, district and state. He was one of the memorable "three hundred and six" of the Grant campaign for the presidential nomination, in 1880. Mr. Toomer was one of the founders of the St. Stephens Episcopal Church and aided much in its early struggles. His remains were buried on Wednesday afternoon from St. Augustine Mission, the Rev. J. O. Dennis, officiating. Mr. Toomer leaves a wife, a daughter, several sons and other relatives. The Twelfth B. M. C. The twelfth session of the B. M. C., recently held at Columbus, was well attended, the largest in the history of the order. Heretofore the South has been paying all the taxes, with but little returns so far as the offices are concerned. Now it is different, the South not only pays the most tax, but has secured all the offices, but two. Some of the ablest men of the race were in attendance, which caused a gathering not generally seen. Over seven hundred delegates were present which makes the B. M. C. an unwieldy body. If the attendance continues or even increases, steps would have to be taken to curtail representation. The discussions were pointed, but the claims for recognition were at times not decorus. Georgia had the largest delegation. All of the delegates were full of pride for Georgia and wanted the State to be recognized. Unfortunately there was a difference of opinion as to the standing of one of the candidates and for that reason a large number of the delegates opposed him. In this opposition they took the lofty view of principle, aiming only to maintain the dignity of the order and further demand the respect of the outside world. In this opposition there was no organized movement, only a protest was made and the brothers allowed to vote according to their conviction. One of the most laborious part of the session, was the roll call. This consumed several hours. "At the election many faithful sons were placed in nomination, but the result is as follows: J. McHenry Jones, Grand Master, West Virginia; Geo. E. Temple, Deputy, Missouri; J. F. Needham, Grand Secretary, Pennsylvania; R. M. Smith, Grand Treasurer, Virginia; J. C. Asbury, Editor and Manager of Odd-fellows Journal, Virginia; Grand Directors, W. L. Honston, District Columbia; E. P. Jonés, Mississippi; L N. Porter —; B. J. Davis, Georgia; Livi Orr, Tennessee. Ex-Grand Master E. H. Morris was re-elected as counsellor for the order. The B. M. C. will meet in 1906 at Richmond, Va. One of the features of the session was a monster parade on Thursday and the oration at the Auditorium. The uniform division of the order made an excellent show, and the various state delegations endeavored to look the best. Georgia was there in numbers. The address by the grand orator, Wilbur F. King, was an able one. Senator Dick of Ohio was present and his short address will go down in the history of the order as one coming from a man full of conviction who believes that "A man is a man for a that." He was lustily cheered by the 5,000 persons present. At night the auditorium was thronged with pretty ladies gaily bedecked and gallant sirs who were made happy by the pleasures of the evening. The local Masonic organizations were not unmindful of the presence of a large number of the holders of the secrets of the mystic order, and they were banqueted on Wednesday night. Race prejudice exists everywhere, but there seems a greater possibility for our people in Columbus, than any town in Ohio that we have visited. As mechanics they are employed and in fact in nearly every calling. They are represented in business, many of them owning their homes and other properties of a valuable kind. There are many things and places of great interest to be seen in this city. It has one of the largest, most complete and humane penal colony in existence. Nearly all of the delegates left on Friday night. Our party left on Saturday. Those in our party were Col. Deveaux, Maj. Royall, Dr. Parks, Dr. Bugg and Judge Kinckle. The entire party stopped at the same place and to say that it was a pleasant and jolly party is but putting it mildly. They were more like school boys at recess time, and we are sure that the hostess was not sorry when they left, even though she said that they were the most pleasant set of gentlemen who ever stopped with her. After leaving Columbus the party divided at Springfield. Dr. Parks and Judge Kinckle changed cars for St. Louis and Chicago. Regrets were felt at this division for Judge Kinckle added much to the zeet of the party. At Cincinnati there was a another division, Col. Deveaux, Maj. Royall and Dr. Bugg leaving for home on Sunday morning and the writer went further North-west. St. Phillips Dots. Rev. Sima preached at both morning and evening services on Sunday, to large congregations. Rev. Sima' sermons every Sunday are very instructive. It is hoped that the members will pay their dollar money, which is now due. St. Philips must not fail to make a good report and keep the lead as heretofore. We are glad to see our members returning home from their summer vacations, and are looking well and much improved in health. Mrs. Alice White, formerly (Mrs. Alice Hill) was buried from St. Philip on Monday afternoon at 4 p. m. Mrs. White was a faithful member of our church and a member of Class No. 13. She will be greatly missed from our church. There will be given a Star concert on Monday night next Oct. 24, at St. Philip for the benefit of the church. Admission 10 cents, Children 5 cents. There will be a special sermon delivered to the Naomi Circle at 11 a.m. on to-morrow, Sunday by Rev. Sims. The following services will be held on Sunday: Prayer meeting at 5:30 a. m., preaching at 11 a. m., Sunday school at 3 p. m., Christian Eudeavor at 4:30 p. m., preaching at 8:30 p. m. Evangelical Union. The ministers Union met at 11 a.m., Rev. F. R. Sims, B. D. presiding. Devotional services were conducted by Rev. J. M. Steavens, of Halcron-dale, Ga. On sermonic reports, Rev. G. L. Word, B. D., preached from Rev. 12:1; Rev. D. H. Porter, Isa. 32:1, subject, "The righteous king and his reign;" Rev. James Jackson, from Luke 8:45, 46, and 47 v. subject, "The touches and the touch." These instructive sermons were criticized by Rev. R. H. Singleton, D. D., J. A. Hadley, F. R. Sims, B. D., G. L. Word, B. D., S. C. Powell, D. D., D. H. Porter, T. N. M. Smith, D. D., J. M. Steavens. Second Baptist Church. The series of meetings at Second Baptist church closed last Friday evening with seventeen additions. They will be baptized on the First Sunday by Rev. Smith. The services are being largely attended by both the members and the friends of the church. The prayer meeting on last Tuesday evening was one of the best we have had in quite awhile. The pastor preached to a full house on last Sunday. The public is cordially invited to come out and hear him and be at home with us Our prayer meeting every Tuesday evening at 7:30, preaching Thursday evenings 7:30 o'clock. Masonic Notes. The suspension list for the past quarter is being sent out by the Grand Secretary. During the absence of the Grand Secretary from the city, a large number of letters accumulated. These will be immediately attended to. worse enemies true of Masonry. On Tuesday last a flourishing chapter of the O. E. S, was organized at Brunswick by the Grand Patron. The Chapter was organized with twenty six members under the name of Virgin Chapter. An excellent corps of officers was selected as follows: Mrs. Alice Monroe, Royal Matron; Mr. S. Whitehead, Royal Patron; Mrs. Anna Telfair, Associate Matron; Mrs. Malinda Oxford, Treasurer; Mrs. Maggie Armstrong, Secretary; Mrs. Amanda Brown, Conductress; Mrs. Amanda Stevens, Asso. Conductress; Mr. G.

Jaya, Sentinel. All of the ladies expressed themselves as being well pleased with the order and they are determined to make their chapter one of the foremost in the state. The Grand Patron was assisted by Mrs. L. M. Huil and Mr. W. M. Williams. Mr. A. T. Telfair had charge of the convention and through his indefatigable efforts the chapter was organized, and for which the Grand Patron feels very grateful to him. In Mrs. Telfair he has an excellent helpmate, who made it very pleasant for the Grand Patron. Mr. Williams did much to encourage the work as also some of the other brethren. AMUSEMENT CORUMN.

SADIE ROBINSON Pretty Girl Suffered From Nervousness and Pelletto Caltrarn—Found Quick Relief in a Few Days. ```markdown ``` NERVOUSNESS AND WEAKNESS CURED BY PE-RU-NA. Miss Sadie Robinson, 4 Rand street, Malden, Mass., writes: "Person was recommended to me about a year ago as an excellent remedy for the troubles peculiar to our sex, and as I found that all that was said of this medicine was true, I am pleased to endorse it. "I began to use it about seven months ago for weakness and nervousness, caused from overwork and sleeplessness, and found that in a few days I began to grow strong, my appetite increased and I began to sleep better, consequently my nervousness rushed away and the weakness in the pelvic organs soon disappeared and I have been well and strong ever since."

Corbin, who is to succeed General Taft in the Philippines, was reared on a farm in Ohio and takes a great interest in recruits, particularly if they be from his own State. "They are amusing and pathetic, the raw recruits from the farms and villages of the West," said General Corbin recently. "And they make in the end the best soldiers the world. "But at first they are too ingenuous, too boyish, too naive. For in- "An Ohio lad was doing his first entry duty. To and fro he paced. The landscape was fertile and lonely and quet, and the young recruit, as he regarded the green fields, fell into a reverie. His pleasant inland home rose up before him. He thought of his father and mother, his school days and his sweetheart. "In the midst of his dream the major passed, and the youth forgot to salute. Instantly the major turned on him. "Don't you know who I am, sir? he said in a terrible vbice. "No,' said the recruit, softly, and, thinking it was a friend from home—some friend of his family—he asked in a gentle voice: "Do you know me?" A Queer Phenomena. A French authority had two thermometers—one of ordinary glass, the other painted black—placed in the sun. In the white glass the mercury rose to 144. Under the black paint it went up to 157 in the same position. The inference is that people who wear black coats are warmer in the sunshine than those who dress in white. SAFEST FOOD In Any Time of Trouble is Grape-Nuts. Food to rebuild the strength and that is pre digested must be selected when one is convalescent. At this time there is nothing so valuable as Grape-Nuts for the reason that this food is all of the reason that this food is an nourishment and is also all digestible nourishment. A woman who used it says: "Some time ago I was very ill with typhoid fever, so ill everyone thought I would die, even myself. It left me so weak I could not properly digest food of any kind and I also had much bowel trouble which left me a weak; helpless wreck. "I needed nourishment as badly as anyone could, but none of the tonics helped me until I finally tried Grape-Nuts food morning and evening. This not only supplied food that I thought delicous as could be but it also made me perfectly well and strong again so I can do all my housework, sleep well, can eat anything without any trace of bowel trouble and for that reason alone Grape-Nuts food is worth its weight in gold." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Typoid fever like some other diseases attacks the bowels and frequently sets up bleeding and makes them for months incapable of digesting the starches and therefore pre digested Grape-Nuts is invaluable for the well known reason that in Grape-Nuts all the starches have been transformed into grape sugar. This means that the first stage of digestion has been mechanically accomplished in Grape-Nuts foot at the factories and therefore anyone, no matter how weak the stomach, can handle it and grow strong, for all the nourishment is still there. There's a sound reason and 10 days trial proves. HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS A SANDWICH FILLING. By chopping hard-boiled eggs very fine and adding three olives (chopped) to every egg, molstening with melted butter and seasoned to taste a desirable filling for sandwiches is quickly prepared. FINGER MARKS ON DOORS. Rub the finger marks with a clean piece of fiannel dipped in paraffine oil, and the marks will disappear like magic; wipe with a cloth wrung out of water to take away the smell. This is far better than using soap and water, as it does not take off the paint. HOW TO KEEP SILVER CLEAN. To keep silver bright without constant cleaning, which is injurious to plated articles, dissolve a small handful of borax in a basin with a little hot water and a little soap. Put the silver in and let it stand all the morning (or afternoon as the case may be), then pour off the suds, rinse with clean cold water, and wipe with a soft cloth. A CHEAP FILTER The poorest family that lives may have a filter by taking a common five-cent flowerpot carthenware, putting in the hole a piece of thoroughly cleaned sponge; over that a couple of inches of sand; over that again about as much clean coarse gravel; and then the water, slowly filtering through, must needs have been very bad at the start not to be very pure at the end. Harper's Bazar. FOR CHANDELIERS. If, for any reason, one does not care to use tinfoil for chandellers, crepe paper will be found an excellent substitute, providing one is careful to wind it so tightly that there is no danger from matches. Of course, one must keep away from the immediate vicinity of the burner. With this in mind, one can make the remainder an object of beauty by combining two or more colors judiciously, or using shades of one. TO MAKE MARKING INK. Dissolve separately one ounce of nitrate of silver with one ounce and half of good washing soda. Mix the solutions and collect and wash the precipitate in a filter. While still moist rub it up in a marble or stone mortar with three drachms, of tartaric acid. Add two ounces of distilled water, mix six drachms of white sugar, and ten drachms of powdered gum arable, half an ounce of archil, and sufficient water to make up six ounces. FURNITURE FOR BEDROOMS Cane or wicker furniture is by far the best for sleeping rooms. It is light and easily cleaned and is just as comfortable as the heavy, dirt-collecting, disease-breeding, stuffed variety. In fact, more comfortable and infinitely safer and more healthy. Rugs, if not discarded altogether, should be cleaned often and thoroughly. Of course, one likes to have one's room decorated with pretty things, but let it always be in moderation. A room jammed full of things, no matter how ornamental they may be, becomes stuffy and tiresome. TO LOOSEN GLASS STOPPERS. Pour a little oil around the mouth of the bottle, and in an hour or two, if you cannot move the stopper, stand the whole bottle in warm water, remove it and gently tap the stopper on either side against glass, when you will find it will easily come out. To avoid the same thing happening again, be careful to twist the stopper round, as it fits into the mouth of the bottle. Another method is to wrap a cloth soaking in boiling water around the neck of the bottle. The glass will expand and the stopper may then be removed before the heat reaches it. Daked Eggs-Drop six eggs into a buttered fire-proof dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and place a small piece of butter on each egg. Put in the oven and bake until the whites are set. Serve on rounds of buttered toast. Danana Sauce-Boil half a cupful of sugar with one cupful of water until it will span a thread, then add three bananas cut in pieces, and two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice. Beat until the bananas are mashed to a jelly, and when boiling take from the fire. Stir in two eggs well beaten, and it is ready for use. Ducklings, Roasted—Little, tender ducklings of this year's raising should be used. Put them in a pan with a little water and butter and let roast for thirty minutes, more or less, according to their size. When well browned, serve and strain the liquor in the pan; add to it a little melted butter and pour over the Cucks. Puree of White Beans—Take one pint of fresh, white beans and cook in three pints of white consomme. When the beans are quite tender press through a sieve, put back on the fire; add a pint of rich cream, and salt and white pepper as needed. Add a teaspoonful of chopped parsley, and, if liked, a few chives. Serve with small squares of bread fried in butter. Plantation Chill Cure is Guaranteed CURE YOUR KIDNEYS. Troubles Set In.

Mrs. Haskell, Worthy Vice Templar, Independent Order Good Templars, of Silver Lake, Mass., tells of her cure by the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM: Four years ago I was nearly dead with inflammation and ulceration. I endured daily untold agony, and life was a burden to me. I had used medicines and washed internally and externally until I made up my mind that there was no relief for me. Calling at the home of a friend, I noticed a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. My friend endorsed it highly and I decided to give it a trial to see if it would help me. It took patience and perseverance for I was in bad condition, and I used Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for nearly five months before I was cured, but what a change from despair to happiness, from misery to the delightful exhilarating feeling health always brings. I would not change back for a thousand dollars, and your Vegetable Compound is a grand medicine. grand medicine. "I wish every sick woman would try it and be convinced."—Mrs. INK HASSELL, Silver Lake, Mass. Worthy Vice Templar, Independent Order of Good Templars. When a medicine has been successful in more than a million cases, is it justice to yourself to say, without trying it, "I do not believe it would help me"? Surely you cannot wish to remain weak, and sick and discouraged; exhausted with each day's work. You have some derangement of the feminine organism, and Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will help you just as surely as it has others. Mrs. Tillie Hart, of Larimore, N. D., says: "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM: I might have been spared many months of suffering and pain if I had known of the efficacy of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a few months sooner; for I tried many remedies without finding anything which helped me before I tried the Vegetable Compound. I dreaded the approach of the menstrual period every month, as it meant much suffering and pain. Some months the flow was very scanty and others it was profuse, but after I had used the Compound for two months I became regular and natural, and so I continued until I felt perfectly well, and the parts were strengthened to perform the work without assistance and pain. I am like a different woman now, where before I did not care to live, and I am pleased to testify as to the good your Vegetable Compound has done for me." Sincerely yours, MRS. TILLIE HART, Larkmore, N.D. Be it, therefore, believed by all women who are ill that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the medicine they should take. It has stood the test of time, and it has hundreds of thousands of cures to its credit. Women should consider it unwise to use any other medicine.
