CHARGE IS IGNORED No Bills Returned Against Statesbore Lynchers. DISAPPOINTS JUDGE DALY Bulloch County Grand Jury Deplored Unfortunate Affair, But Failed to A Statesboro dispatch says: As far as the present grand jury of Bulloch county is concerned, the Lynching of the negroes, Cato and Reed, will go free. The jury adjourned Saturday about noon without returning any indictments against the rioters of August 16. While the parties implicated by the courtmartial testimony are very much elated, many others are disappointed, and the jury commissioners have intimated that all names of the members of this grand jury will be thrown out of the jury box. Those who expected indictments to be returned say now that the only chance is for Judge Speer to take the matter up in the federal courts as was done in Huntsville, Ala. The general presentments of the jury have only one short paragraph touching the lynching matter, as follows: "We deplore the recent lawlessness in our city and community, especially referred to by his honor, Judge A. F. Daley, in his able charge. We have investigated the matter in the light of information coming under our personal knowledge, and obtained by examination of a number of witnesses, but we have been unable to find sufficient evidence to warrant indictments. "We tender our thanks to his honor, Judge A. F. Daley, for his able and comprehensive charge to this body." Judge Daley said in discharging the jury that he did not see why indicments were not returned, and spoke in such manner as to indicate his disappointment and disapproval of the failure of the grand jury to indict the rioters and did not appreciate the compliment of the jury. It will be seen that the jury ignored the evidence furnished by Governor Terrell, for no mention is made of its having been considered. By reason of the murder and assault cases mentioned in Judge Daley's charge to the grand jury at the opening of court, but little civil business has been attended to. One white man has been sentenced to life imprisonment for murder and another young white man for assault of a little girl. There will have to be an adjourned term in December, making five sessions of the superior court held in Bulloch county during the present year. Action Was no Surprise. The action of the grand jury in not finding indictments against any of the lynchers was no surprise to the people. It was expected by the people generally that no bills would be found. Public sentiment indorses their action. All the sentiment is not one way, but the majority of the people approve their course. They feel that even if the grand jury should find true bills, that there would be no hope of convicting, and the matter would be agitated for years and be a source of constant annoyance to the people. Hundreds of good men in the county are opposed to lynching and opposed the lynching of Reed and Cato, and did all they could not prevent it, yet they feel that it would be no vindication of the majesty of the law to undertake to convict any of the lynchers, as the lack of evidence and sentiment in their favor would result in their acquittal; only a few men know who were the real lynchers and the grand jury examined probably fifty witnesses and failed to get their names. The people regret the unfortunate occurrence, but the crime of Reed and Cato was such that they are willing to forgive the lynchers. They are opposed to doing anything that looks like protection to the dangerous negro element and prefer for them to see what is likely to happen if they attempt assault and wholesale murder. FIRST VICTIM OF SUBWAY. New Jersey Girl Injured on New York Underground Railway. The first serious accident since the formal opening of the subway in New York occurred Friday, when a young woman named Sadle Lawson, of Jersey City, fell between the platform and the local train at the Fourteen in street station and was badly crushed. She had a fractured hip and bruises of a more or less serious nature, but will recover. The Savannah Tribune. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 5. 1904. COFFEE FOUND GUILTY. First of Sextette of Alleged Counterfeiters at Atlanta is Convicted on Two Counts of Indictment. The first of the sextette of alleged counterfeiters, P. S. Coffee, of Upson county, was placed upon trial in the United States court at Atlanta Monday morning and after a hard legal battle in which the best of Atlanta's legal talent was engaged was found guilty on two counts of the indictment. The jury by its verdict asserts that P. S. Coffee has been guilty of causing to be made counterfeiting plates and causing to be issued therefrom spurious ten-dollar notes of the Buffalo series. It was Coffee's testimony, or statement, that was the principle feature of the day's session. The witnesses for both government and prisoner had been completed when Coffee was called to the stnd. Before he was introduced to the court and' the gathering the jury had been secured and a number of witnesses had been presented and exhaustively examined. Facing the jury with composure his story in part was as follows: "I never saw Wynne in my life," he said as Attorney Rucker made plain what he wanted the defendant to say as a witness, "until I was confronted with him in the Fulton county jail. No, I never had any conversation of any kind with him relative to counterfeiting plates' or the making of counterfeit money." He told of his arrest, and continued: "We came to Atlanta and I was taken to Captain Wright's office in this building, where I was questioned about this counterfeiting. I knew nothing of it, and so told them. Then Rebb, McMichael and Little were brought in. They were handcuffed. Rebb and McMichael were chained together. Little had a pair of cuffs to himself. I was questioned again in the presence of these me—" "Who did the questioning?" asked Attorney Rucker. "All of 'em. Who were there? Why, there was Captain Wright, Mr. Camp, Mr. Covington and the others I have named. I was asked every question that could have been framed in such a form that the anticipated answer would have been the same as a confession. When I attempted to ask either Robb, McMichael or Little a question I was requested to keep quiet, the officers asserting that they would do the questioning. No, at no time did I in any way admit-having had any part in the work in any way whatsoever." "I have known Little for a long time, and while I was in business in Atlanta," Coffee went on, "I had him for a customer. We had many business transactions, and I always found him straight." Reference was made to Mr. Covington's testimony and the witness was asked about what had passed between him and Mr. Covington. "Why," he replied, "Covington and I were raised in the same section. We had known each other for years. He took me aside and said he hated to prosecute because of that old childhood association. He then advised me to confess, to make a clean breast of it, saying that it would go much easier with me. In his eyes there were tears and he begged me to confess, saying that he would do everything in his power to help me out; that he would see that it was made light for me. I told him then, as I tell him now, that I had nothing to confess." MACON FAIR A SUCCESS. Statement of Directors Indicates that Money Was Made on Venture. At a meeting of the directors of the Macon, Ga., Fair Association Monday night the financial success of the state fair just closed was fully discussed. Though no clear-cut report was made of the exact status of the fair association's exchequer, from the de lailed reports rendered of certain receipts and disbursements, the state fair was a great success from a financial standpoint. ALTMANS GIVEN FREEDOM Jury at Folkston, Ga., Render Verdict of Not Gulity. At midnight Saturday a verdict of not guilty was brought in by the jury that was trying Hillary and Charles Altman, at Folkston, Ga., for the murder of Jackson Duncan. The jury had been out for hours. The verdict was not entirely unexpected. The case is well known. The Altman brothers were charged with having killed Jackson Duncan on a train going from Jacksonville to their home at Baxter, Fla., some weeks ago. APPEAL TO HAGUE Russian Fleet to Stay at Vigo, Spain, Pending Exhaustive Inquiry Into North Sea Tragedy. Excitement Allayed. A London special of Friday says: All danger of war between Russia and Great Britain has been averted, and the settlement of the only points in dispute regarding the attack by the Russian second Pacific squadron on British trawlers, October 21, has been referred to an international commission under The Hague convention. Premier Balfour, speaking at a meeting of the National Union of Conservative Clubs at Southampton, Thursday night, broke that silence which had brought the people of the United Kingdom by a clandition of almost desperate irritation and given rise to misconceptions which Mr. Balfour himself exposed. "The Russian ambassador," said Mr. Balfour, "has authorized a statement to the following effect: The Russian government on hearing of the North sea incident at once expressed its profound regret and also promised most liberal compensation. The government has ordered the detention, at Vigo, Spain, of that part of the fleet which was concerned in the incident, in order that the naval authorities might ascertain what officers were responsible for it; that those officers and any material witnesses would not proceed on the voyage to the Far East; that inquiry would be instituted into the facts by an international commission as provided by The Hague convention." That, Mr. Balfour interpolated, and nothing to do with arbitration; it was the constitution of an international commission in order to find out the facts and any person found guilty would be tried and punished adequately. The Russian government undertook that precaution would be taken to guard against a recurrence of such incidents. Special instructions on this subject would be issued. Preliminary to this court, said Mr. Balfour, there would be the coroner's inquest at Hull over the dead fishermen, a board of trade inquiry and an inquiry by Russian officials at Vigo. Apology and compensation having already been offered, nothing now remains but to determine which account is correct, Rojestvensky's or the trawlers. Eventful Day In London. Thursday was an eventful one in the metropolis. The population, stirred by flaring head lines in the morning newspapers, seemed convinced that war was inevitable. The cabinet meeting, which was held at noon, served to increase rather than allay anxiety. Throughout the country there had spread a deep rooted, though perfectly erroneous, idea that Great Britain had given Russia a time limit in which to reply, and "Charles" Beresford, England's naval idol, was on the spot. Many, indeed, thought it was only a question of hours when he would be demolishing Russian ships. Czar Nicholas Approves. A St. Petersburg dispatch says: The North sea incident will be settled by an international commission. This is absolutely assured. The British proposals submitted to Russia was to refer the question to $z$ commission under articles 9 to 14 of The Hague convention, and a certain of officers of the Russian squadron competent to give testimony were to be left behind. Russia's proposition submitted to Great Britain through Ambassador Benckendorff declares that the emperor, being destruous of shedding the fuseat light on the North sea includeproposes that the whole question be submitted to scrupulous investigation by an international tribunal. GOES OVER FOR A MONTH. Freight Rate Injunction Case Again Postponed at Atlanta. The expected postponement of the hearing in the freight rate injunction cases at Atlanta came Friday morning. All cases go over until Monday, November 28, when all will be tried once. Judge Newman declared a postponement after the attorneys for the defense had declared they were not ready to proceed with a hearing. They had been unable to prepare an answer because of the many bills, amendments and substitute bills filed at the last moment. HIGHWAYMEN ROB BANK. Cashier Killed After Putting Up a Game Fight-"Buffalo Bill" Goes on Trail of Bandits. Four heavily armed outlaws from the Hole in the Wall country held up and robbed the First National bank of Cody, Wyoming, Tuesday, and after shooting and killing Cashier Frank Middaugh, of the bank, had a running fight with cowboys and hunters and escaped into the Rattlesnake mountains pursued by half a dozen different posses. The Hole in the Wall gang are noted as the most desperate outlaws in the west, and the Cody posses are determined to wipe the, bandits out of existence. "Buffalo Bill" himself started at once from Omaha, Neb., in a special car, having with him a party of titled Englishmen and two of his Sioux Indian scouts, and telegraphed orders to Cody for horses to be waiting for his party at the depot. He will take the trail in person. Just before the close of the bank Tuesday afternoon a party of four roughly dressed men rode up to the First National bank, which is immediately across the street from the Irma "Buffalo Bill's" hotel. Three men dismounted and entered the building, the fourth remaining outside to guard the horses. As soon as the outlaws entered the bank, one of them covered Cashier Middaugh, who was the only occupant of the room, and demanded the cash from the vault. Instead of complying Middaugh grabbed a revolver and made a game fight for life and money, firing several shots even before the outlaw leader could fire at the banker, but Middaugh was excited and his bullets went wild, while the single shot sent from the outlaw's gun passed through the banker's brain and he died instantly. WIRE KILLS BANK ROBBER. Attempted to Cut Connection of Aru Light and Fell Dead. The dead body of James Hendrick, a prominent young man of the city, was found on a shed adjacent to the American National bank, in Montgomery, Ala., Tuesday morning. He had on a uniform of the Montgomery Greys. A stick of dynamite, a revolver and other tools were found on him. A kit of new tools were found also. All indications are that it was the intention to blow open the safes of the bank. He was evidently killed in attempting to cut the wires leading to a series of arc lights containing about 4,000 volts. THE ARROW SAILS AQAIN. Second Flight of Alirehp Even More Successful. Then the First A second successful flight of the Baldwin airship was made at the world's fair in St. Louis Tuesday under the guidance of A. B. Knabenshue, of Toledo, who maneuvered the 'California Arrow' at will high above the western portion of the exposition grounds and descended in the stadium amid he cheering of thousands after a flight of thirty-six minutes. Knabenshue went up to an altitude of about 1,600 feet, and after directing the course of his aerial vessel at will, descended on the exact spot upon which he had decided to land. $215,500,000 In Incorporations. New incorporations during October in the eastern states reached a grand total of $215,500,000 for companies capitalized at $1,000,000 or more. Of this sum the new tobacco consolidation furnished $180,000,000. Must Go Back to China. United States Commissioner Babbit has decided that Yang Su Tang, a Chinese servant, employed by Dr. Hugo Hardy, of Berlin, one of the German world's fair commissioners, shall be deported to his native country. TAFT GOING TO PANAMA. Will Confer With President of Little Republic Regarding Differences. A Washington special says: The president has instructed Secretary of War Taft to proceed at an early date to Panama to confer with the president of that republic with a view to compromising the differences that have arisen between the two countries. A lengthy letter has been sent by th president to the secretary of war after a conference with the secretary of state and the secretary of war, in respect to conditions in Panama. GEORGIA LUMBER, FOR PANAMA. Savannah Dealers Get Much Extra Bualness from Canal Agents. Savannah, Ga., lumber dealers have noted a great demand for yellow pine lumber for shipment to Panama, where it is to be used in the canal work. Buyers have been in the city for some days, contracting for shipments. They have arranged with the government, and are now seeking the material at Savannah and other points in order to make good on their government contracts. ILLINOIS MINERS QUIT WORK. Holisting Engineers Strike and 50,000 Diggers are Idle. Specials to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch from Illinois points indicate that less than 100 of the 300 coal mines in that state are holisting coal as a result of the strike of engineers which went into effect at midnight Monday night. The total number of operators who deserted their posts of duty, is about 800, and nearly 50,000 miners are thrown out of work as a result. WOMAN SOON TO BE FREE. Mamle DeCris, "Diamond Queen," Will Be Released November 21. Mamle DeCris, better known as the diamond queen, who has been serving a three-year sentence in the Georgia state penitentiary, and who caused a state sensation two years ago because of her being whipped by Warden Alla-good, will be released on November 21st, her time expiring then. ENDS TROUBLLE IN PANAMA. Resignation of Secretary of State, Arlas, Calms Political Waters. The resignation of Thomas Arlas, secretary of State of the republic of Panama, apparently ends the division of political parties on the Isthmus. Pablo Arosemena, leader of the opposition, said to the Associated Press: "Opposition to President Amador's government is impossible now. WHITECAPPER GOES TO PEN. Albert Bettis, a young man, was convicted in Judge Scotts court, at Waco, Texas, Monday, of whitecapping, and sentenced to two years in the penitentiary. Witnesses testified that the defendant posted illustrated anonymous notices threatening violence against negroes unless they quit farms on which they were employed as laborers. The notices bore ghastly pictures of coffins and negroes dangling from the boughs of trees. ANTI-TRUST SCHEME FAILS. Burley Tobacco Growers' Company Up Against Dissolution. In a signed statement, W. B. Hawkins, president of the Burley Tobacco Growers' Company, at Lexington, Ky., says that "the death knell of the company is nowr inging." The plans of the company, which was conceived to "ight the tobacco trust socalled, were gigantic in scope. Growers throughout the burley district were asked to place their crops with the company, which had conditional backing in Louisville warehousing companies to the extent of $3,000,000. BY PROXY. What the Baby Needed. I suffered from nervousness and headache until one day about a year ago it suddenly occurred to me what a great coffee drinker I was, and I thought maybe this might have something to do with my trouble, so I shifted to tea for awhile, but was not better, if anything, worse. "At that time I had a baby four months old that we had to feed on the bottle, until an old lady friend told me to try Postum Foed Coffee. Three months ago I commenced using Postum, leaving off the tea and coffee, and not only have my headaches and nervous troubles entirely disappeared, but since then I have been giving plenty of nurse for my baby and have a large, healthy child now. "I have no desire to drink anything but Postum and know it has benefited my children, and I hope all who have children will try Postum and find out for themselves what a really wonderful food drink it is." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Greek, Mich. Both tea and coffee contain quantities of a poisonous drug 'called Caffeine that directly affects the heart, kidneys, stomach and nerves. Postum is made from cereals only, scientifically blended to get the coffee flavor. Ten days' trial of Postum in place of tea or coffee will show a health secret worth more than a gold mine. There's a reason. Get the book, "The Road to Wellville," in each pkg. Bailing of Rojeestvonsky's Fleet from Vigo, Spain, Caused 'Alarmist Rumore—Was no Breach A London special says: Negotiations between Great Britain and Russia, looking to a settlement of the North sea affair, are progressing favorably, and there is not the slightest danger of any friction arising between the two governments. The constitution of the international commission under The Hague convention is on the verge of settlement. In spite of these pacific conditions, Great Britain Tuesday experienced a war panic that only can be compared to the panic created on Sunday, October 23, when the news of the sinking of the trawlers in the North sea was received. Not for years have so many alarmist reports and flaming extras flooded London. The most extraordinary feature of this scare, which was serious enough while it lasted, is that there was not one single circumstance to justify it. The excitement started early in the day, when the newspapers announced the departure of the Russian Baltic squadron from Vigo. On top of this came the wild report of tremendous activity at Gibraltar. Hour by hour the news from Gibraltar became more serious until at last the climax was reached with the announcement that the British fleet had cleared for action. Some even said that the fleet had sailed to meet Rojestvensky's squadron. In huge type the papers made the parallel statements, "The British Fleet Has Cleared for Action,—The Russian Fleet Has Sailed." The news from Gibraltar became more and more alarming, and finally the foreign office was overrun by reporters, some of whom brought the rumor that Admiral Beresford had already sunk the remnant of Admiral Rejestvensky's fleet. Ambassador Benkendorf, at that moment was quietly discussing with Foreign Minister Lansdowne the personnel of the international commission, but it was popularly rumored that he was receiving an ultimatum. Premier Balfour, Admiral Sir John Fisher, commander in chief at Portsmouth; Lord Selbourne, first lord of the admiralty, and Prince Louis of Battenburg, director of naval intelligence, were all in conference, and It was openly hinted that they were planning the first stroke of war. As a matter of fact, like Lord Lansdowne, they were engaged in considering names that had been suggested' for the international commission. When all London was in this state of mind and while anybody who might be supposed to know anything was constantly being asked, "Has war been declared?" the foreign office decided to adopt a course most unusual for it, and in order to allay public excitement gave out to the press a statement covering the arrangements to detach the Russian officers to remain for the court of inquiry and all other steps taken. Captain Hitch's Company Decides to Remain in State's Service. The Oglethorpe Light Infantry, Company I, of the First Georgia regiment, will not be disrupted because of the dismissal of their captain, Robert M. Hitch, from the state service because of the Statesboro affair. This was determined at a meeting of the command in Savannah Tuesday night. Though Captain Hitch is sustained and indorsed by resolutions adopted some time ago by the company. WATSON IN THOMASVILLE. Populist Candidate Spoke to Largo Crowd and Was Cheered. Thomas E. Watson spoke in Thomasville, Ga., Tuesday morning an hour and a half in a tirade against both old parties. He had an audience of 500, many of them democrats, and was wildly' cheered. His arguments were those heretofore used by him against class legislation, federal taxation, national banks under republican administrations. Said democrats did not differ from republicans. He touched on the negro question, and declared it not an issue, The Savannah Tribune, FOLLOWED EVERY SATURDAY, BY THE TRIBUNE PUBLISHING CO. 118 W. St. Julian Street. Gs. Phone 574.

DAY. 10th District—S. B. VAUGHN. 11th District—O. W. COLE. THREE more days and the battle of ballots will end and the Republicans will be declared the victors. THE Republican party and prosperity are synonymous terms, fully appreciated by the American people. ANY Negro who votes against the Republican ticket next Tuesday is a traitor to the best interest of his race. VOTE against the men who are responsible for the discriminative laws against you, such as Jim crow car laws, etc. EVERY Negro voter of Chatham county must be at the polls early on next Tuesday morning and cast his vote for the Republican ticket. EACH citizen can rest assured that March 4, next, Theodore Roosevelt and Chas. W. Fairbanks will be inaugurated President and Vice-President of these United States. THE stronghold of the Democrats are in the South. That being a fact note the election laws and Jim crow cars. If they become stronger these discriminations will increase. AN exobange says that the South would be poor to-day without the black toilers, yet it is in the South where the black man is mostly discriminated against. The Democrats are holding up Parker as a believer in the Constitution. Let them abide by the Constitution, especially those of the South and in it all treat all citizens as the Constitution demands. The Democrats endeavored to place the muzzle on Tillman, Vardamán, John Temple Graves and men of their ilk during the campaign, being afraid that they would injure the Democratic cause. Now comes a report that in a section of South Carolina, the colored men are arming themselves for election day. The absurd assertion is also made that they are having arms shipped as meat, etc. This report is circulated in advance so as to excuse any violence that may be done these people on election day. "It seems to me that it is a good thing from every standpoint to let the colored man know that if he shows in marked degrees the qualities of good citizenship, the qualities in a white man we feel are entitled to reward, then he will not be cut of from all hope of similar reward." Point out a colored man who would vote against the man who makes the above assertion and has the backbone to demonstrate it, and there would be seen an ingrate. The Negro cannot afford to break his solid forces, consecrated to liberty and equality before the law, until every man everywhere in this broad land has every right that he is entitled to. The Negro's mission as a soldier of liberty will not be ended until every Populist, Prohibitionist and Republican enjoys his civil and political rights as amply as a Democrat. To-day no Democrat can complain that he is denied perfect equality before the law in any section of this country. He is as free in Vermont or Iowa as in Mississippi or Georgia, and wherever the opposite party rules he has naught to make him afraid. But this is not true as to Populists, Prohibitionists and Republicans. In some sections of the country, in at least one-fourth of the States of the Union, if they would live unmolested, they must smother their convictions and votes with the ruling side, although to do so may undermine their business and be against their interest of the government. This is an inequality of right; it must be corrected. The men of opposite faith to this favored son of America must be enabled to stand upon the same plane as he does in every section of this country. WITH its last issue the Georgia Baptist celebrated its twenty-fourth anniversary. For continuous service The Baptist is the veteran journal of the state and its power for good is known. Like THE TRIBUNE, the Baptist practices what it preaches by giving employment to a large number of our boys and girls. May it live long to continue this and other good work. Editor White is resting more easily from the fact that he has his two sons, Messrs L. H. and W. J., Jr., to look after the varied interest of the paper. These young men are practical printers and able journalists. OF Parker Gen'l. Stewart L. Woodford said in a speech: "It will be very difficult for my dear friend Parker to reach across three thousand miles of continent, and seven thousand miles of sea, besides, to protect the Filipinos in Manilla, but it is comparatively easy, if he believes in the guarantees of the Constitution and pledges of the Declaration of Independence, for him to go South and put out the fires of lynchings and crush the attacks on humanity, and see the yellow men and the black men protected by the Constitution." THERE is an organized effort to have the Georgia Infirmary removed from its present location. To remove this institution would be a slap at the colored citizens. The infirmary was erected at the present site when that locality was but an old field, surrounded on all sides by weeds and pools of water. The city has grown around it and enhanced the value of the property. There is no reason for its removal other than it is a colored institution. Our people has no word in its management, but their wishes in its removal should at least be respected. All of them are against this and the management should adhere to their request against removal. IN a speech in Cooper Union, the other night, the next governor of New York, Mr. Higgius, said: "Since Abraham Lincoln, the great emancipator, freed the slave, and the Republican party placed the ballot in his hands and made him a citizen, the Democratic party in the South, first by terror and violence, then by fraud and stratagem, and finally by force of law, has sought to reduce the Negro to political serfdom. "President Roosevelt is hated south of the Mason and Dixon line because. he judges a man by the qualities of heart and brain which go to make up real manhood, and refuses to close the door of hope for him because of the color of the skin. Our Democratic friends apply the Constitution to the wards of the nation beyond the seas and deny its guarantees to the black citizens of the United States." The Southern states were re-admitted to the Union in 1868 after the civil war and it was expressly provided that no state should ever abridge the right of any voter. The act passed July 28, 1868, was as follows: "That each of the States of North Carolina, South Carolina, Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama and Florida, shall be entitled and admitted to representation in Congress as a State of the Union when the legislature of such State shall have duly ratified the amendment to the Constitution of the United States proposed by the 39th Congress, known as Article 14, upon the following fundamental conditions: That the Constitution of neither of said States shall be so amended or changed as to deprive any citizen or class of citizens of the United States of the right to vote in said State, who are entitled to vote by the Constitution thereof, herein recognized, except as a punishment for such crimes as are now felonies at common law, whereof they shall have been convicted under laws equally applicable to the inhabitants of all the States." Four of the states named have passed laws restricting the right of suffrage and in all of the Southern states the laws are enforced in such a way as to debar thousands of men from exercising their rights as citizens, because their skins are black. The Southern states were re-admitted to the Union upon the fundamental condition that they would never amend or change their Constitution so as to deprive any citizen or class of citizens of the United States of the right to vote. It was a sacred obligation. Have they kept it? Can the Democrats who have deliberately broken their promises be trusted? Are they not a dishonest, deceitful lot? Job Printing of all kind done at our office. THEIR LOST. November the election will come off, The democrats has already lost Their lost is already felt. Then lost is already left, Because they know our next president, Will be TEDDY ROOSEVELT. BY JAS T. HARRISON. Masenic Notes. Arrangements are about completed for the corner stone laying of the Masonic temple now in course of erection on Gwinnett street, west. This ceremony will take place on the afternoon of Thanksgiving day. All of the Lodges in the city will take a part, and it will be an occasion long to be remembered by the local members of the craft. Grand Master Butler will be present and conduct the ceremony. Work on the Masonic temple is progressing rapidly. The rain interfered with it on Wednesday and Thursday. The local lodges are adding excellent timber to the building. Mt. Moriah Lodge had some "work" on Friday night of last.week. Bro. Petty of Pythagoras is letting no grass grow under his feet.

AN ADVENTURE WITH CALEB. RITING from the Mandan village on the upper Missouri, in 1832, Geo, Cattin tells this story of a morning adventure with the In the morning, and just before sunrise, as usual, Bogard (who was a Yankee, and a "wide-awake fellow," just retiring from a ten years' siege of hunting and trapping in the Rocky Mountains), thrust his head out from under the robe, rubbing his eyes open, and exclaiming as he grasped for his gun. "By Jove! Look at old Cale, will you?" Bastiste, who was more fond of his dreams, snored away, muttering something that I could not understand, when Bogert selzed him with a gryp that instantly snook off his iron slumbers. I rose at the same time, and all eyes were turned at once upon Caleb (as the grizzly bear is familiarly called by the trappers in the Rocky Mountains—or more often "Cale," for brevity's sake), who was sitting up in the dignity and fury of her sex, within a few rods, and gazing upon us, with her two little cubs at her side! Here was a fix and a subject for the painter; but I had no time to sketch it. I turned my eyes to the canoe which had been fastened to the shore a few paces from us, and saw that everything had been pawed out of it, and all tatables had been with out ceremony devoured. My package of dresses and Indian curiosities had been drawn out upon the bank and deliberately opened and inspected. Everything had been scraped and pawed out to the bottom of the boat; and even the rawhide throng with which it was tied to a stake had been chewed, and no doubt swallowed, as there was no trace of it remaining. Nor was this peep into the secrets of our luggage enough for insatiable curiosity; we saw by the prints of her huge paws that were left in the ground that she had been perambulating our humble mattresses, smelling at our toes and our noses, without choosing to molest us; verifying a trite saying of the country, "That man lying down is medicine to the grizzly bear;" though it is a well-known fact that man and beast upon their feet are sure to be attacked when they cross the track of this grizzly and grim monster, which is the terror of all this country, often growing to the enormous size of eight hundred or one thousand pounds. Well, while we sat in the dilemma which I have just described, each one was hastily preparing his weapons for defense, when I proposed the mode of attack, by which means I was in hopes to destroy lier, capture her young ones, and bring her skim home as a trophy. My plans, however, entirely failed, though we were well armed, for Bogard and Ba'iste both demonstrated with a reheence that was irresistible, saying that the standing rule in the mountains was "never to fight Caleb except in self-defense." I was almost induced, however, to attack her alone, with my rifle in hand and a pair of heavy pistols, with a tomahawk and scalping-knife in my belt when Ba'tiste suddenly thrust his arm over my shoulder, and pointing in another direction, exclaimed in an emphatic tone: "Viola! viola un corps de reserve—Monsr. Catiline—viola sa mar! Allons, allons! Descendons la rivière, toute de suite! toute de suite! Monsr.," to which Bogard added. "These blame animals are too much for us, and we had better be off;" at which my courage cooled, and we packed up and re-embarked as fast as possible, giving each one of them the contents of our rifles as we drifted off in the current, which brought the she monster, in all her rage and fury, to the spot where we a few minutes before had passed our most prudent resolve. SUSPENDED IN MID-AIR Turned to a human, pendulum when she slipped from her perilous perch on the trapeze bar of a professional aeronaut's balloon, straps that bound her wrists to the ropes alone preventing her from falling hundreds of feet, Miss Mabel Kent, of Shelton, Cogn, hung in mortal danger above the heads of horrified thousands at the Orange Fair for many minutes, while the man beside her vainly tried to reach the valve line. She fell off the bar in the balloon's swift upshoot and her skirts prevented her from damming back to it. Her feet dangled in mid-air and all her weight depended on her wrists, into which the throngs bit deep as the soaring balloon shook itself in the stiffening upper breeze as if to cast her off. Cries broke from hundreds of throats as the great air-ship sailed steadily towards the unknown, the woman and man below it fast lessening to the view. Miss Kent struggled desperately for five minutes to regain her position on the slender crosspiece, but the wind beat against her petticoats like a hurricane pounding a ship's canvas, swinging her to and fro and banding her host vigorous efforts to draw herself. The plucky girl made no outcry. Need, she smiled at the neronaut win he begged her to keep cool. But first thought of letting her drop wi the parachute, for the belt of that devil was strapped about her waist. It was impossile, however, for him to release her wrists and at the same time the big umbrella so she would sure to fall free of the bar and the parachute would be certain to spread the unfastened the leathern handle, held one wrist. Miss Kent would be able to stand the pressure mother. A sudden jerk by the great silk bag overhead even might bull her arm out of its socket. The watching thousands scarcely breathed as the man, at the risk of his own life, crept along the bar to the side where the valve rope swung. He clutched the small line with a daring outreach and, drawing it downward, let enough gas out of the bag to make the balloon descend. With a furious downsweep, the balloon descended earthward, and when apparently about to dash the two to death against the ground swooped on a treetop. Miss Kent seized a trembling branch; the aeronaut gave the valve rope a violent tug and the mass of sik slowly settled over the boughs. The girl and her escort lowered themselves slowly and reached earth unharmed. Miss Keit had asked the aeronaut to let her accompany him. She said after returning to solid ground she would make another ascension gladly, but would take care to be dressed in less cumbersome garments. STRUGGLE WITH A SWORDFISH. The fishing steamer Petrel, Captain Arthur C. Manter, returned last evening from a day's swordfishing trip in the waters south of the island, bringing in four of the handsomest specimens landed, this season. The first fish sighted was "ironed" without any difficulty, and Edward Burchell, one of the crew, started out in a dory to capture him, almost before the huge fish realized what had happened. Instantly the barrel which was attached to the end of the harpoon line went whizzing through the water a at rapid rate, indicating that the fish had commenced to "run," Burchell kept up the chase, and after more than a mile had been covered the speed of the fish perceptibly decreased. As the dory drew near, the fish discovered it, and turning suddenly drove his sword through the bottom until about three feet of it protruded directly in front of the thwart upon which Burchell was sitting. The steamer at this time was about two miles from the scene, and going in the opposite direction for another school. The struggle was witnessed from the pilot house, and all speed was put upon the steamer as her course was changed in the direction of the battle. Burechell hastily dropped his oars and seized the sword with both hands, realizing that if the fish should withdraw it and continue the attack the chances were all against him. For fully a minute the man and fish struggled, when the sword snapped off short and once more the fish started off on the run. The sword was bedded so tight in the bottom of the dory that no water could get through, and, plecking up his oars, Burchell again gave chase, capturing the monster about a mile further on. It weighed 415 pounds.—Nantucket correspondence Boston Globe. MAMMOTH-HUNTING. Mining for mammoths is one of the new industries of the Klondike. Mr. William Foster, of Dawson, says the Dawson News, recently returned from a sixty-mile jaunt to the deposit of mammoth bones on Quartz Creek. He describes the skeleton as follows: "We climbed down a ladder in the main shaft, thirty-eight feet deep, and groped our way through the drifts with lighted candles for about 150 feet. We came upon his royal highness at the end of this drift. "He was lying with his head in a horizontal position about three feet above the floor of the tunnel, and looked to me as if he might have kneeled down on his fore legs when, thousands of years ago, he had given up the ghost. "One of his tusks was still frozen fast in the roof of the tunnel. The other tusk and the forepart of his head were suspended in the open space, from which the gravel had been thawed away with ordinary steam points. "The tusks are about six feet long and eleven inches in diameter where they are firmly embedded in the sockets of the skull. They are curved upward, and taper gradually to their upper ends, which are about two inches thick. "The specimen is almost perfect, so far as the skeleton is concerned, although there is no hide or hair thus far in evidence. The skull is about five feet long, the immense eye-sockets are perfect, and a large cavity in the skull marks the former resting place of his gigantic brain. "This cavity was filled with frozen gravel, which Charley Swanson dug out with the end of his candlestick and his fingers. Samples of this gravel will be panned, and the gold washed from the brain of the mammoth will be exhibited at the St. Louis Fair. "While in all reports this famous skeleton has been referred to as that of a mastodon, it is really that of a mammoth or Siberian elephant." Lol the Aesthetic Iceman That the iceman may have an eye for beauty in spite of the sordid motive which are ascribed to his every act is proved by the following incident: One hot day recently a housewife, found that all the ice had melted in her refrigerator, and a kind butcher across the way sent her over a little cake to carry her along until the iceman paid his regular visit. When the iceman came along she ordered the usual piece. He chipped out a neat cubical block, carried it in and opened the ice box. Then he noticed the cake inside and he suddenly laid his cake on the floor. "There's room enough inside for your ice," said the housewife. "I know that," he said in disgusted tones, "but I should like to know where in the world you got that homely chunk already in there." THE GUARANTY AID AND RELIEF SOCIETY L. E. WILLIAMS, President, P.

A mustard plaster made with the white of an egg will not bilster. To get the full flavor of the peas, beans, etc., that go to make up a genuine vegetable soup, do not dissipate their strength by boiling in water and then draining off, but use simply what will barely cover them, adding from time to time to replace the waste by evaporation soup from the soup pot, which should be kept simmering conveniently near. A half hour before serving, strain out all bones and bits of meat from the latter, put vegetables in and stir in an "egg-drip" of beaten egg and flour, just before turning it out into the tureen. Tutti-frutti salad can be as comprehensive as one pleases; in fact, the more variety that goes to make it up the better, and canned fruit can be substituted when the fresh are out of season. Slice pineapple, bananas, oranges, peaches, etc., and arrange in layers with cherries, halved plums, strawberries and raspberries. Sugar well and let them stand till the juice given out is a rich syrup. Drink this off and make a "syllabub" by beating meringue into it, then pour over fruit and freeze. Equal parts of tallow and turpentine mixed makes an excellent polish to use on oiled floors, oilcloth, etc. In making ketchup of any kind never use anything but a porcelainlined kettle, or one of some make that does not impart a taste to the ketchup. Itds wise to use new bottles, and also to sterilize them by immersing them in boiling water and letting them stand for five minutes before using them. It is not necessary to purchase bottles with patent stoppers. The cost of the simple bottles necessary is only a trifle if they are purchased in quantity. Grate breadcrumbs and brown them slightly. Allow one-half teaspoonful to an egg, and strew them in when making a plain omelet. Baker's stale bread makes the best crumb. A sandwich dear to childhood is simply bread, butter and sugar, with a liberal sprinkling of powdered cinnamon. Try this for the school lunch basket. To remove ink stains from white goods, put salt on the stain, then wet with vinegar, and rub. Repeat until the stain is removed, then rinse in clear water. An old housekeeper who has been the victim her day of almost every kind of accident that can happen to a housewife says that whenever a kettle of jam or preservae is scorched set it immediately in a pan of cold water to restore the flavor. While lovely in themselves, the candle shades and lamp shades of white silk painted in delicate tints throw an unbecoming light. They make young faces look drawn and pale and old faces positively haggard. The very same thing developed in pink silk or red throws a glamour over everything, making plain people look almost pretty. Many good housekeepers have given up scouring their silver with powders and patent preparations and have taken to boiling it in a solution of common washing soda. A piece of soda the size of an egg is thrown into a gallon of water. The articles to be cleaned are put in when the water is at boiling point, and kept in the water for four or five minutes, then rinsed off in clear, hot water and polished with a channels or soft cloth. Surely none need use tarnished silver when so simple a method of cleansing is within reach. It bodes no good to pocketbooks when women begin to admire fall hats. No. 468 WEST BROAD ST., SAVANNAH, GA. Negro Insurance Company Doing Business in the United States. A BOY MERCHANT. Boy musicians, boy composers, boy poets, boy artists, and boy preachers have been commemorated; but in all the chronicles of youthful prodigies there is scarcely to be found a notice of a boy merchant. We can, however, recall one such, and he made himself a name when he was not out of a jacket. In 1803 the eminent Boston firm of J. & T. H. Perkins established a house in China. They sent out a Mr. Bumstead to manage it, and with him, as clerk, a boy of sixteen, J. P. Cushing by name. He was a steady lad and wrote a fine hand. Soon after their arrival in China Mr. Bumstead died, and the boy was left to manage the affairs of the house. When the news of the death reached Boston there seemed but one thing to do, and the junior partner, Col. T. H. Perkins, accordingly made preparations to go to China. Just before he was ready to sail letters came from young Cushing. They gave a clear report of the business of the house, and showed that, young as he was, his head was old enough to manage it. Col Perkins therefore postponed his departure until the arrival of other letters from the youthful manager. They were so satisfactory that the firm decided that Col. Perkins should remain at home, and the boy be entrusted with the management of affairs in China. So well did he manage them that he was taken into partnership, and In 1827, twenty-four years after his departure from Boston, he returned to his native city with a large fortune. It was all made by strictly honest efforts, and before he was forty years of age. Boys, have a high alm, and, with integrity and industry, much may be accomplished.—George B. Griffith, in Children's Visitor. Through the Skip. "The amount of liquid matter which passes through the microscopic tubes of the skin in twenty-four hours, in an adult person of sound health, is about sixteen fluid ounces, or one pint," says a medical authority. One ounce of the sixteen is solid matter, made up or organic or inorganic substances, which if allowed to remain in the system for a brief space of time would cause death. The rest is water. Besides the water and solid matter, a large amount of carbonic acid passes through the tubes. It is important therefore to keep them in perfect order, removing obstructions by frequent applications of water or by some other means.

We Do Neat Printing at Reasonable Prices A GOOD STRATEGIST We had some offish neighbors once that moved in, down the road. We reckoned they was 'bout the proudest folks we'd ever known. An' when we passed 'em now an' then we head up high. To make dead heads couldn't snub us if they was to try. It really made me nervous. So I jes' braced up one day. An' thought I'd go ahead an' show my manners, anyway. One Sunday, 'stid o' turnin' round an' put up a fence. I looked at them an' says, "Hello!" an' they says, "How'd do?" ENERAL SIR SAMPSON DOOM, D. C. B., and Commander in Chief of that crown of all our overseas possessions, the Luxuriant Isles, leased back by his ENERAL SIR SAMPSON DOOM, K. B., and Commander in Chief of that town of all our overseas possessions, the Luxurant Isles, leaned back in his chalk and bit the top of his thumb in doubt. On principle and by long habit an early riser, he prided himself on stealing a march on each busy, well-filled day by a good hour's work at his office table before breakfast. But this nothing, for once, his appetite for work had failed him. The sight of the various neatly sorted packots of official documents and private letters which stared him in the face and lay within touch of his fingers filled him with ill-concealed Version. He sighed impatiently, hesitated, pushed back his chair and sighed again. The unfortunate Sir Sampson was thankful when the sound of the breakfast gong—punctual in his well-ordered household to the half of a minute—brought him a temporary relief from his perplexities. Notwithstanding his age and seniority in the service, he was young in the character of a Benedick, and, as is not infrequent in such cases, the lady of his choice was more than a little his junior. With ready-recurring admiration the general took in at a glance her graceful poise of head and shoulders, her faultless shell-pink complexion, and the exquisite garment—he could no more have named it than he could have flown of muslin and lace that enfolded her. It still thrilled him fresh to think that this beautiful peekless creature, so young and tender, so blooming, should be his and his alone. What the fond, adoring glance did not see was a crease—it could hardly be called a frown—that marred the white smoothness of her forehead as she heard his step, and the quick, furtive movement that bid the letter she had been reading. Like the momentary ripple of the zephyr on the surface of a lake they swept by, leaving no sign to mark the place where they had been. The letter could hardly have been called a very short one, but every word was indelibly printed on Lady Doom's memory, and to her, who could interpret its meaning by the light of other days, it was forcible and to the point. The bold familiar writing with its strong black lines, large capitals, and thick upward crossed "it's" gave her, as in a crystal, a vision of herself as she was before her marriage—a pretty penniless girl with a heart full of vanity and a head full of ambition, courted, fattered, sought after, with a train of admirers, but none wealthy or important enough to satisfy her mercenary aspirations until the Commander in Chief himself fell a victim to her youthful charms. To a girl of her character, and bred in a garrison town, the balt was irresistible. She jettisoned her fragments of heart, and became Lady Doom. The wording of the letter ran thus: I Dearest Connie:—The last time, I suppose, I shall call you so. After this I shall have a wife who will probably know more about my doings than the Chief does of yours. I mean no reproach. You know your sex and their little ways—charming and otherwise—better than I do. You will have heard that I have taken your advice and am about to follow your example. Under the circumstances and the adverse star which ruled our fate, we have both probably done the best possible for ourselves; though sometimes, even at this eleventh hour, I could find it in my heart to wish it different. But regrets are useless. What is—is. Let the dead past bury its dead. I for one, won't dig it up. But for our old friendship's sake, when the Belsetta command falls vacant, which it may do any day now, remember me. I know you can manage it if you will. I leave the details of the management to you with perfect confidence. One word more and I have done. I shall never write to you in this strain again, so, would like to recall to your remembrance that the breaking off of our engagement was your doing, not mine. If ever you regret it do not blame me. With you I could (or think I could) have faced poverty and shelving. Without you I don't mean to put up with either if I can help it—Yours, as in the past. MAX MELTON By one of the unwritten and incomprehensible mandates of fashion that live for a season and vanish into space, the pocket of Lady Doom's ethereal confection was on the left side, and her disengaged hand clutched the letter that lay in it as she poured out her It wasn't the cold an' formal greetin' that you you've sometimes heard; They smiled, and said it hearty, like they meant it, every word. It's solemn to reflect what we miss along By not see' bein' natural an' good humored day by day.

The paper crinkled and crackled omnineously. But her gentle, langual movements were as composed, her sweet, musical voice as low and delicately modulated as ever as she asked: "Have you thought over what we were talking about last night, Sam?" were talking about last night, Sam? "I have thought of little else darling," he answered ubiessily. "You know how much I would do to please you, and what a pleasure it would be for me to do it, but you see, dear this is—an official, matter. If I have to say no to you it will be from sense of duty. You see how I am placed." With great care and deliberation Lady Doom selected a lump of sugar and held it aloft in the tongs. Her elbow rested on the table, shaming the cloth by its whiteness, and the lace sleeve falling back displayed her perfectly formed wrist, with its network of blue veins on the warm surface. From lingerup to shoulder the arm was perfect, and she knew it. "One or two?" she asked, smilingly. "I can never remember." "Oh! either, thanks; it doesn't matter," answered the general absently. The effort he was making to say what was on his mind was great, and he felt inclined to rush it and, get it over. He resumed, speaking rapidly. "As I was saying, dear, you won't mind, will you, if I have to go against your wish? It is the first time, I know, that you have ever asked for anything" (this was hardly accurate, but even a Commander in Chief is sometimes inaccurate when flustered). "And, of course, if it were possible, I should like—I mean—I hope you won't think—" "I shall think you are doing absolutely right, dear, whatever course you adopt," she replied. "I am sorry, though, that you don't like Colonel Max Melton," she added muggingly. "He has always been a great friend of mine, and in long ago days, when I was a girl I prided myself on having none but nice friends. You were one of them, you know!" Sir Sampson beamed. "You little flatterer," he said. "But you mustn't think I have anything against Max Melton personally. He is a smart officer, and, as far as I know, a good fellow. A trifle ambitious, perhaps, but that is a fault on the right side, after all. But—" A wave of 'Connie's slender fingers swept through his explanation and an expression of almost austere virtue gathered on her brow and straightened her red lips. She shook her head incredulously. "You are very kind, dear, but I know you too well to believe for a moment that you would say a word against an officer without good reason, even to me. Of course, I do not ask what it is, though I have heard rumors which I have never hitherto believed. But now I see that there is—something." "Rumors" ejaculated Sir Sampson, aggrast. "What rumors? I have heard nothing." "Oh, I couldn't tell you. If you haven't heard it wouldn't be fair. Of course, every one will believe them now; but that is nothing. I would always go by your opinion blindfold. Of course, I shall let Colonel Max Melton see that he has forfeited my friendship. He may resent my attitude, but I can't help that. I could never be civil to a man you don't think well of." Sir Sampson fidgeted uncomfortably. "But I don't disapprove of Max Melton, my love. He has very many good points. He has seen a lot of service, and has always done most creditably." Lady Doom's air of puritanical severity did not relax. "I quite follow your meaning, Sampson," she said. "You wish me to understand that although you consider Colonel Max Melton a good soldier, still as a man—" Sir Sampson almost sprang off his chair. He was a testy old gentleman at best, and to-day for the first time he found the lovely Connie just a little dense. He had never noticed this characteristic before. "I mean nothing of the kind, nothing of the kind," he voicferated hotly. "I don't say he is a saint, no men are, but I know nothing against him personally. As to the — rumors, I don't believe a word of them, nor is he unsuited to the command. On the contrary, he is a very capable officer, and very well fitted for it. Only—" "Then, my dearest Sam," beamed Lady Doom, rising and thus ending the discussion, "there is nothing more to be said, except that I am a very foolish, stupid girl, and have been frightening myself at a bogey that doesn't exist. But do forgive me, darling I was so dishearted to think you didn't like any one of my friends, and Colonel Max Melton is a very old one. He was father's friend, and for that reason I have always liked him. Have you heard he is to be married soon? I should like to send him a wire telling him he will be gazetted to a command. He would be so pleased." Again Sir Sampson bit his long thumb in obvious hesitation. "Very well, my dear," he said after a moment's deliberation. "You are a little witch, and always get your own way. But don't mention names. It wouldn't look well if it got about, you know." "Oh, thank you. I'll be most careful. You leave it to me, Sam. I'll be a model of discretion." But the wording of the telegram Lady Doom sent would have evoked more than the opinion on that point. I rah: "Your desire granted. Our wedding present to you." The telegram once dispatched, Lady Doom metaphorically drew a long sigh of relief and began to enumerate all the possible advantages to herself of her Victory. The Belsetta command being in her husband's division, it followed of necessity that her path and that of the newly appointed commandant must intersect each other at frequently recurring intervals. The thought was not wholly displeasing. Some people, doubtless, would consider it a dangerous game to play. But Lady Dôme knifed better. The danger; it any, would not be hers. The tools might be edged, but she would not cut herself. She smiled gently as she recalled the horror she had always had of wounds, especially self-inflicted ones, and she had never been rash. Besides, as she reminded herself, she was really fond of Sir Sampson. He was an old dear, and so kind, though, where she was concerned just a little blind. "I really," thought the lovely Connie to herself, as she concluded her reflections, "am a better strategist than he, Commander in Chief though he he." And I am not sure that most of her friends and acquaintances would not have indorsed her opinion. "Would you like to see the Gazette, my love?" remarked Sir Sampson some ten days later. "There is an announcement in it which may interest you." Lady Doom took the paper with languald grace, and commenced turning over its pages with a fine assumption of indifference. Suddenly the lines of her figure grew fuse, her expression puzzled, disappointed, alarmed. "What does this mean?" she inquired more hastily than was habitual to her. "I don't understand. Surely there is a mistake here. How can Colonel Max Melton go home to take up a command when he is to have Belsetta? You promised, you know." "So I did, my dear. But if you remember, I did not specify which command. I knew this would please you even better than Belsetta; besides getting me out of the difficulty of passing over others. Just before our talk on the subject I had had a telegram telling me of the vacancy, and asking me to recommend a good man to fill it. Then suddenly thought of Max Melton, and proposed him. That wire of yours was quite vague. I hope?" There was an indescribable something in the general's tone that checked Lady Doom's querulous complaint. She looked up and caught his eye, and without any obvious reason fell to wondering—for the first time in her married life—whether, after all, her husband was not a better strategist than herself.—London Truth. Beauty an Impediment. "The fatal gift of beauty" is an expression that used to be a great favorite with writers of cheap fiction," said a professor in one of the business colleges. "As a matter of fact, it contains more truth than fiction. Every year we turn out a lot of young girls who are equipped to take positions as stenographers, typewriters and bookkeepers, and I have frequently noted that the pretty ones, those who possess the aforesaid 'fatal gift of beauty', have a hard struggle to get positions. Take two girls, one pretty and attractive, and the other plain and homely, and in applying for a position, although they may be possessed of equal ability, the homely girl stands the better chance of getting the job. Lots of professional and business men are afraid of pretty girls, and lots of them have jealous wives. For his own peace of mind the man with a jealous wife will choose the ugliest girl he can find, so long as she can do his work. That's why I say that 'the fatal gift of beauty' has some foundation in fact."—Philadelphia Record. Measure of Popularity Though Robert W. Chembers is a popular author, he will rarely talk about his books. "Literary conceit is distasteful to me," said he the other day. "and I like to see it taken down. It was well taken down in the case of a New York man last month. He has written a novel and the public libraries have put this book on their shelves. The man called at one of the libraries to find out how his work was going with the public. He hoped to have his vanity tickled a little. "Is — in?" he said to the librarian, naming his book. "It never was out," was the reply.—New York Tribune. A Hotel Humorist. Simeon Ford, the Manhattan Hotel proprietor, of New York City, gives his attention to humor, just to relieve the strain of his dutles. A couple of his friends who were married last week heard from Ford just after the ceremony through a telegram reading: "May your future troubles be only little ones." OF INTEREST TO WOMEN BROWN STILL POPULAR. Brownh will be held in more favor than eyet. in the coming season. It is remarkable how the color has lasted during the last couple of years. Unlike blue, green or red, brown goes completely out of fashion at times, reappearing for a season or two. Rarely has it lasted as long as during its last revival. AS TO BODICE FULLNESS. One must have sufficient fullness for the front of the bodice, and yet not too much, nor in the wrong place. The bodice must neither look baggy nor should it pouch. The fullness must be from side to side, but there must be little or no droop to the folds or pleats. The fullness must be kept well to the front and not be allowed to push around under the arms. The lack of pouching is especially noticeable in evening gowns, as distinguishing them from those made last season. Bodices worn in the daylight hours are permitted somewhat more droop. The next arrangement of bodice fullness is more noticeable in profile than in front view. CONTROL YOUR NERVES When you sit down to rest, be still, and do not start at every little noise. A long continued noise might have a wearing effect upon the nerves, but the little noises that are over in a moment hurt no one, and it is quite absurd to jump and start, as some people do at them. Control of nervous movements acts beneficially on the nerves themselves; whereas, if the nerves are allowed to run riot, bodily health is impossible. Uncontrolled nerves are responsible for terrible disasters caused by panics in fires and other accidents, which often result in the loss of hundreds of lives. Giving way to nerves without a struggle for mastery over them is, therefore, not only very bad for oneself, but exceedingly selfish to one's neighbors. Every one should strive to attain a quiet, even manner under all circumstances, and then, when an emergency comes, the chances are that they will be able to act with 'cool courage. IF YOU ARE GOING ABROAD: For an ocean voyage and for short trips when in Europe, be content with as few clothes as you think will suffice. Here are some suggestions as to what have been found necessary and appropriate: A dark tailor suit, soft silk, flannel or cotton blouses, lisse, combination underwear, short underskirts, a wrapper, thick shoes, overshoes, slippers or low shoes, damp-proof hat, raincoat, and a China silk, black grenadine or chiffon dress over black silk for evening wear at hotels. To this list it is advisable to add a rainy day dress with shorter skirt to save the tailor suit. Some prefer pongee or wash silk night dresses, which may be casly washed and need no ironing. For a trip by sea it is a good plan to wear old underwear, which may be discarded at the end of the journey; so if worn underwear is mended and put aside in anticipation of a trip, a large laundry bill may thus be avoided. Money and valuables may be carried in many ways, in safety belts, in envelopes of linen or chamols worn about the neck, or in safety pockets. Carry in your purse only what money you can think you will be called upon to use in the course of a single day. RENOVATING A FARM HOUSE. The problem of renovating an old farmhouse is always a fascinating one, says Harper's Bazar, in answer to a correspondent. The difficulties are often many, but one can enjoy satisfactory results all the more on that account. Gray paint, with white trimmings, will be very attractive among the green trees, especially when you have succeeded in covering it with ivy. Keep the gray as light as possible, so as to avoid the gloomy appearance which a darker color is apt to give. Your idea of keeping the rooms in harmony by using tones of the same color is a very good and very interesting to work up. Taking up the parlor first, let this have a pale yellow damask paper. Paint the woodwork white, and remove the rail, since it seems to lack purpose here. Have a rug on which old blue or dark blue is the predominating color, combined with yellow and browns. Cover your furniture with yellow and old blue brocade, but, instead of denim for your portieres, have a soft loosely woven mercerized cotton or linen, preferably of golden brown. In the drawing-room, the woodwork can be painted white. For the walls two schemes have suggested themselves. Move your rail up until it is about four feet from the floor, for the first scheme. From the base board up to this rail have a golden-brown burlap, and from the rail up a heavy paper in large conventionalized figures of a rich yellow, toning into the brown of the burlap. For the second scheme move your rail up to within two feet of the ceiling, or, if you have, a picture molding there, remove it entirely. Have a paper of the same character as that just suggested, but in shades of wood browns and tans. Above the rail have a plain tan gr. per and cushion it over the ceiling. In the small room back of the dining room, have plain yellow or tan paper to harmonize with that in the dingin' room. The east bedroom would be very attractive with a dainty yellow, and white flowered stripe on the wall, especially if you combine with this some of the fascinating English chintzes with corresponding design. Both will harmonize with your black walnut furniture. Upstairs the maid's room can be in Delft blue and white, and the other room in pink and white. Use white enamel furniture in both these rooms. Wax all your hardwood floors. Beware of a silica finish, as it is almost sure to crack off. The color of the wood may be changed by applying any one of the many different dyes before the wax. FOR THE BABY. Many a mother is puzzled to know how to feed her young child. She knows how to feed a baby, she can manage a child of ten or twelve, but the little one at four is if a puzzling age. With a view to solving this problem, the students at Teachers' College have made out several model dietaries for a child of this age, in accordance with Prof. Atwater's standard. These dietaries formed a part of the exceedingly interesting exhibition just held by the domestic science department in the Educational Museum. Professor Atwater's standard of nutrition for a child of four calls for twelve per cent, proteids, nine per cent, fat, 38 pound of carbohydrates and 1420 calories. The average, unscientific mother is not supposed to know much about fats and protels, of course. The thing to do is either to accept the ready made menus of authorities on dietaries, or to model some of one's own very closets upon them. Here is one of the Teachers' College series of a day's menus: For Breakfast—The juice of half an orange, four tablespoonfuls of farin, half a cup of milk, two tablespoonfuls of sugar, one slice of bread, half a teaspoonful of butter, one cup of milk. For 10 O'clock Luncheon—One cup of milk, two tablespoonfuls of stewed raisins, one slice of bread, half a teaspoonful of butter. For Dinner—One ounce of lamb chops, two tablespoonfuls of green peas, three tablespoonfuls of boiled rice, half a slice of bread, half a teaspoonful of butter and half a cup of junket. For Supper—One cup of milk, one egg, one slice of bread, half a teaspoonful of butter. The peas and rice are to be served with butter. The slice of bread is cut half an inch thick, from a square loaf, and equals an ounce. The materials are weighed before cooking. Highly interesting also is the hygienic outfit for an infant, with its pasteurizing plant, its schedules of quantities, and its little hospital bottles containing each the exact amount prescribed by the medical profession for stated periods in the infant's life—so many feedings a day for the first four days, up to four weeks old, six weeks, eight weeks and four months. In this connection of especial interest is the table giving the cost of feeding a baby in New York City during the first year of its life. If you buy modified milk, it will cost you just $180; if guaranteed milk, then the cost drops to $32.75. But if certified milk is used, then one may keep a baby for only $41.80 for the whole year. All this milk is of superior quality, and comes from dairies with big names. The table ignores the seven-cents-a-quart baby, and the three-cents-a-quart skim milk corner grocery baby is not in it—New York Tribune. FASHION NOTES. Burnt orange is the very latest tint in leather. Walking skirts of cream rep share favor with the linens. Tan bags with braided handles of a darker shade are just out. Colored leather are to be more used than for many seasons past. It is said that the new jacket will certainly be long and close fitting. Many military ideas are prominent in the new autumn leather exhibits. Already sleeves are beginning to spring direct from the shoulder line. Browns and tans, combined with creams and greens; will be much worn. Tare seems to be a decided tendency toward the evolution of handbags without frames. A mottled seal in every conceivable shade to match a variety of costumes is a novelty. Fancy a hat of cigar brown tule with crown of nasturtiums and saucy tulle strings. The would-be modish girl will need to make her full coat sleeves tight for fashionable wear. A collar much liked is the button-holed embroidery band edged with a frill, a colored ribbon running around through the band to tie in a bow in front. Carriage, flat-front, envelope, vanity, Peggy, Boston, auto, avenue, military, promenade double frame Netsuke and chatelaine bags are with us, which will give milady a large choice to pick from. HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS TOMATO JELLY. A pretty dish can be made of tomato jelly. Stew, strain and season to taste the tomato. Soak as much relatine to the quart as you would for any, jelly, and add to the strained tomato. Put into ring moulds, and when hard, put on individual plates and fill the centre in quarters, one-quarter to be filled with chopped white of hard-bolled egg, one-quarter with grated yolk of egg, one-quarter with chopped olives, and one with mayonnaise dressing. CORNBREAD. One cupful cornmeal, two eggs, one cupful milk, two teaspoonfuls baking powder, one cupful flour, one-half cupful sugar, two teaspoonfuls melted butter, one-half teaspoonful salt, mix the Indian meal and flour and add the salt; beat the eggs light without separating; add the sugar and beat until light. Add the milk and butter to the eggs and sugar, and all the mixed meal and flour to this, beating all the while. When light and smooth and ready to bake, add the baking powder; turn into a greased shallow pan and bake twenty minutes in a quick oven. SALMON LOAF. - One can salmon; pick out bones, skim and fat; two eggs, beaten light; two tablespoonfuls butter, one-half cup cracker crumbs, pepper, salt and parsley to taste, rub into a smooth paste; put into a mould and steam one and one-half hours; heat one can of fresh peas in the liquid around them fifteen minutes and put on the platter around the loaf; make a sauce of one cup of milk, thickened with one tablespoonful of cornstarch, one tablespoonful of butter, one tablespoonful catsup or chill sauce (if desired), a pinch of salt, a little red pepper, one egg; add egg after beating, and stir in while boiling hot; pour over the loaf. MOCK BISQUE SOUP. Stew one pint of potatoes for twenty minutes with one slice of onion, one bay leaf and one sprig of parsley. Press through a sieve and return to the stove. Scald one quart of milk. Rub together one large tablespoonful of butter and two of flour until smooth. Add a little of the scalded milk to the butter and flour, stir until all lumps are gone, then turn into the remainder of the milk, stir continually until thickens. Add one teaspoonful of sugar to the tomato. Dissolve one-half of a teaspoonful of soda in a little warm water, add-to the tomatoes, and take at once from the stove. Strain the milk into the tomatoes, season and serve at once. The success of this soup depends upon the tomatoes being added to the milk so it will not curdle. This can rarely be done on the stove, and the soup cannot be reheated. Add the milk to the tomatoes when ready for the table—Philadelphia Ledger. A DELIGHTFUL POT POURRI. A genuine old-fashioned pot pourrls is made as follows: Pack half a peck of fragrant rose leaves in a bowl in layers with salt, using a small handful of fine salt to three of rose leaves. Let stand in this way for five days, turning them twice daily. This should be done throughly. At the end of this time add three ounces of powdered allspice, and one ounce of stick cinnamon. Let them rest again for about a week longer, stirring as before once each day. Now put them into the permanent pot pourrri jar, mixing them first with half a pound of dried lavender blossoms, one ounce of bruised cloves, one more ounce of stick cinnamon, another of allspice, one nutmeg coarsely grated, a cupful of ginger root thinly sliced, half an ounce of anise seed, ten grains of Canton pruik (finest quality) and finally two ounces of orris root. Mix them well together and place the jar in any suitable corner of the parlor or living room. A few drops of attar of rose or any desired extract of flowers can be added at any time. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. Don't use a galvanized iron squeezer. When brought, in contact with the lemon it forms a poisonous salt. *When anything is made too salt it can be counteracted by adding a table-spoonful of vinegar or a tablespoonful of sugar. To clean copper utensils use half a lemon dipped in salt for scouring copper pans, etc., and afterward rinse thoroughly in clean water. Finish by polishing with a soft cloth. A cheap paint for iron fencing is made as follows: Mix tar and yellow ochre together. It will make a good green color and is excellent for painting rough woodwork and iron. If possible shrink all seersuckers and ginghams before making them up, and see that they are smoothly ironed in order to permit of the patterns being laid on exactly. Guesswork and allowance are always unsatisfactory in results. Besides heating all woollen threads before packing them in scrutinize them carefully for goss spots. Cleanse with soap and ear when the fabric admits of such treatment, or, if not, with any of the cleaning fluids. Otherwise great models may greet the eyes when creeping them up in the fall, in splatter paper and moth balls.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "To Young Women:—I suffered for six years with dysmenorrhea (painful periods), so much so that I dreaded every month, as I knew it meant three or four days of intense pain. The doctor said this was due to an inflamed condition of the uterine appendages caused by repeated and neglected colds. "If young girls only realized how dangerous it is to take cold at this critical time, much suffering would be spared them. Thank God for Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, that was the only medicine which helped me any. Within three weeks after I started to take it, I noticed a marked improvement in my general health, and at the time of my next monthly period the pain had diminished considerably. I kept up the treatment, and was cured a month later. I am like another person since. I am in perfect health, my eyes are brighter, I have added 12 pounds to my weight, my color is good, and I feel light and happy."—Miss Agnes Miller, 25 Potomac Ave., Chicago Ill. The monthly sickness reflects the condition of a woman's health. Anything unusual at that time should have prompt and proper attention. Fifty thousand letters from women prove that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound regulates menstruation and makes those periods painless. READ WHAT MISS LINDBECK SAYS: "DARR Mrs. PINKHAM:—Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has greatly benefitted me. I will tell you how I suffered. My trouble was painful menstruation. I felt as each month went by that I was getting worse. I had severe bearing-down pains in my back and abdomen. "A friend advised me to try Mrs. Pinkham's medicine. I did so and am now free from all pain during my periods."—JESSE C.

The color was high, and passages were accompanied with a scalding sensation.

The shooters from the Pennsylvania side of the Delaware are equally industrious in evading their vigilance. One gunner was successful yesterday in bringing his game across, despite the watchfulness of two constables on the lookout for their shares of the fires. The shooter walked onto the ferry boat, carrying his gun and leading a couple of retrievers. The constables eyed him sharply; they crowded against him as he passed down the gangway, but could not detect anything to justify a search. He took a seat in the men's cabin until the boat was well out in the stream. Then he walked over into the women's cabin, and seating himself by the side of a stylishly dressed woman, who had a large dress suit case at her feet, said: "Well, they didn't get us this time. Have you the birds all right?" "Sure," was the reply, "and they fill the case pretty full. I could hardly get them all in. "She was the gunner's wife and had met; him by appointment on the Camden side to bring the game home and fool the wardens.—Philadelphia Press." . HIS EXPERIENCE.

As places of residence neither the Bahrain Islands, in the Persian Gulf, nor the City of Yakushu, Siberia, have much to offer in the way of climate; says the Washington Post. In Bahrain you cook and in Yakushu you freeze. Bahrain is said to be the hottest place in the world. The thermometer often registers between 110 and 120 degrees, night and day, for months at a time. This rather beats Fort Yuma, Ariz, which is considered the hottest place in the United States. Yakushu is called the coldest city in the world, Vekhoyansk, in northeastern Siberia, claims to be the coldest inhabited place on the globe, the thermometer registering 80 degrees below zero in January. It also claims to be the place possessing the most variable climate, for while it is 90 degrees below in January, it is 86 above in the shade in August, during the day, with a drop down to freezing every midsummer night. The wettest place in the world is Greytown, Nicaragua, where the annual rainfall is 260 inches. The driest place in the world is probably the rainless coast of northern Chile. They have a shower there about once in every ten years. Nothing grows on this desolate strip of barren coast, and the dreary towns from which the nitrates and the minerals mined in that region are shipped depend for their subsistence upon food brought to them in the ships from the fertile strips to the north and south of the desert. Northern Russia and the shores of the French Congo are said to be the cloudiest places in the world and for fog there is no region like the Grand Banks, the southern coast of Newfoundland, and the waters of Novia Scotia. This region is one of fog for a large part of the year, and the very home of the fog is the island of Grand Manan, at the entrance of the Bay of Fundy, where, the sailsors declare, the natives manufacture fog. When a bank of specially thick fog is seen approaching over the waters, the mariners turn to each other and say "The Grand Mananers are at work." FITS permanently cured.

It does not matter whether you wear Hes, tell Hes, act Hes, or live Hes, your character is ruined all the same. There is no more demoralizing influence in modern life than the unnatural straining to seem other than we are. Nothing else so quickly lowers self-respect, takes the fine edge off honor and blunts the conscience as the sense of being a sham, a gilded fraud, or an unreality. It cheapens standards, lowers ideals,aps ambition and takes the spring and joy out of living. No man can make the most and the best of himself-until he is absolutely honest with his own soul, and unfalteringly trust to his highest ideals, and this is impossible while he is living a life—Success.

Admiral Schley Uses ing victory in the onward march of civilization than in the notable event of July 23, 1838, in which the great hero, Admiral Schley, took a leading part. It was a great naval battle. Without a moment's warning it was struck and defeated courage excellent discipline, resolute self-confidence—the combined in Admiral Schley to produce that dash and daring so characteristic of the American soldier. A man must think quickly in these days. There is no time for slow action. New enterprises arise in an hour. Old ones pass away in moment. A multitude of great themes clamor for notice.

"A good many of the famous and 'ong established restaurants of Paris have gone out of business of late." said Mr. W. Wright, an English gentleman who has lived many years at the French capital, to a Post reporter at the Shoreham. "These were generally resorts where the cooking was superb and the charges high, place where the average patron would give from 25 to 30 francs for his dinner. These high priced establishments found that business was leaving them, and perforce closed their doors. Nowadays if you see people in a Parisian restaurant where the tariff is high you can gamble on them being foreigners, usually Americans. A Frenchman of today is nothing if not economical. If he is inclined to gamble, he will go to one of the numerous baccarat clubs, where he will get a dinner for six francs that easily cost the management twice that sum. The reason to keep the players in the house, the proprietor knowing that after a man has had a good dinner he is in the mood for further encounters with fortune. If allowed to go away he would satisfy his hunger elsewhere and probably omit further gambling for that day."—Washington Post. raised-its popularity as a catarrh remedy, its national importance, its extensive use. One asked his opinion. Without a moment's hesitation he said: "I can cheerfully say that Mrs. Schley has taken Peruna and I believe with good effect." Like the battle of Santucci, he thought was sprung upon him, any warning, and he disposed of it with the same vim and decision as he did with the Spanish fleet led by the ill-fated Viscaya. His words concerning Peruna have gone out into the world to be repeated by a thousand tongues, because he has said them. Like the news of his victory over Cervera, his words conceive will be ADMIRAL'S WORDS CARRY WEIGHT. Peruna caught up by the passions from mouth to mouth, across oceans and continents. Except for an inborn mildly independence, in a country of free speech, these words never would have been uttered by an officer in such a notable position as that of Admiral Schley. until in such a notable position that Except for a world-wide, notoriety and popularity, such as Peruma enjoys, no remedy could ever have received such outspoken pubhe endorsement by such a man.
