REPUBLICANS WIN! Roosevelt and Fairbanks Capture the Country By an Enormous Majority. ALL THE DOUBTFUL STATES CONCEDED President Roosovelt Will Probably Have 325 Votes in the Electoral College Against 151 for Judge Parker. In Addition to Presidency Republicans The republican national ticket has ed the situation by telegraphing President Roosevelt his congratulations. Watson to Form New Party. The republican national ticket has been elected by a vote in the electoral college that will exceed that of 292 given Mr. McKinley in 1900. The result of Tuesday's balloting was astounding even to the most sanguine of the republican managers. Confident as they were of success, they were not prepared for the astonishing losses which followed the closing of the polls, bringing into the republican column not only all of those states they had claimed as safe for their candidate, but, with the possible exception of Maryland, every state classed as doubtful. [Illustration of a man with a mustache and a suit, set against a decorative background with wheat stalks.] O Democratic successes are confined to the solid south, in which Kentucky is included, and Mr. Parker has not carried a single state which did not give its vote to Mr. Bryan four years ago. Official returns indicate that he lost some of those which the Nebraska candidate held for his party. As a dramatic climax to the sensational majorities given him, came President Roosevelt's formal announcement that he would not be a candidate for re-election, tending the only exciting aspect to an election night otherwise so one-sided that it was impossible for even the victors to attain that degree of enthusiasm that usually marks the occasion. be the unprecedent Roosevelt and F. Parker and Davis far in excess of H. (202) in 1900, but is four less than the four years ago. Iain that the repu et has carried even outside of the so-may take the office Maryland. The in the next house will not be less to How New Co President Roose the co-operation ofgress. The presen The perfect weather conditions which prevailed over practically the entire country brought out a vote which experienced politicians predicted would be a record-breaker, and in this increase of ballots the republicans gained more than their share. The period of suspense that followed the closing of the polls was not prolonged. In no election in recent years has the result been definitely known so soon. Hardly had the sun gone down when results in New York began to appear. By 7 o'clock it was evident that the great Empire State had given the republican candidates a majority beyond the predictions of the party managers. Belmont Gave Up Early. So convincing was the story of the bulletins that at 7:30 August Belmont, at democratic headquarters, conceded Roosevelt's election by an overwhelming majority, and half an hour later the democratic managers who had managed the campaign freely admitted that the republicans had carried every doubtful state. There was no disposition to hope against hope. As state after state sent in its republican majority and the wires told the tale of the ballots, bringing even from those commonwealths upon which they had based their figures of democratic success, reports of unprecedented republican majorities, they frankly conceded their defeat and offered no explanation. Soon after Mr. Belmont's admission, Judge Parker acknowledged Watson to Form New Party. Late in the night came an announcement from Melvin G. ralliser, manager of the campaign for Thomas E. Watson, the candidate for the people's party, that as a result of the overwhelming defeat, steps would be taken to form a new party. To this end, according to the announcement given out, Mr. Bryan, Mr. Watson and William-Randolph Hearst would hold a conference in New York in about a week's time. If Maryland has gone republican, as unofficial returns indicate, the republican vote in the electoral college will [Portrait of a man with a beard and mustache, wearing a dark shirt and a hat, set against an ornate decorative background with wheat stalks and leaves.] be the unprecedented one of 325 for Roosevelt and Falrbanks to 151 for Parker and Davis. Not only is this far in excess of Mr. McKinley's vote (202) in 1000, but Judge Parker's vote is four less than that given Mr. Bryan four years ago. It is practically certain that the republican national ticket has carried every state in the union outside of the so-called solid south. It may take the official count to decide Maryland. The republican majority in the next house of representatives will not be less than fifty. How New Congress Stands. President Roosevelt is assured of the co-operation of a republican congress. The present republican majority in that body is 24, and there need be no surprise if this figure is almost doubled, and it is reasonably certain to reach a majority of at least 50. In practically all districts the republicans have held their own, while in some significant instances the democrats have lost. Probably the most marked of these cases are the fourth and fifth districts of California (San Francisco), now represented by Representatives Livernash and Wynn, democrats, which reports indicate have been gained by republicans. In the twelfth, Ohio district Taylor, republican, is reported to have defeated Badger, the sitting democratic member who was a candidate for re-election. The most surprising of all the reports, however, come from the fifth and fifteenth Missouri districts, both strongly democratic, and the former represented by Mr. Cowherd, chiefman of the democratic congressional cam palign committee. The republicans claim to have carried both districts. In the light of these reports, a republican majority of 50 in the house is considered a conservative estimate. Returns from the southern states show that they have returned the usual democratic majorities. The states of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina and Texas all send solid democratic delegations, while those from Kentucky and Virginia probably each will have only one republican representative, Savannah ELECTORAL BY STATES.

DEMOCRATIC JUDGES KILLED. Fatal Election Row in Notorious Cripple Creek District. At Cripple Creek, Colorado, two democratic election judges were killed in the district, a Penbody deputy sheriff was mortally wounded and a number of democratic judges were beaten and thrown into jail. Ike Idelbolt and Chris Miller, judges at Goldfield, were shot down by one of Sheriff Bell's deputies. They had ordered the deputy out of the polling place. He refused to go, and turning upon the judges, shot and killed them. A CALL BY PARKER Formulates Open Letter to Democrats of Country. STEADFASTNES8ISURGED Defeated Candidate Declares Party Has a Great Mission to Perfeffm for the Welfare of the Country: At Esopus, N. Y., Wednesday night, Judge Parker gave the press an open letter addressed "To the Democracy of the Nation," in which he thanked those in charge of his campaign work, and declared that the people will soon realize that "the tariff-fed trusts are absorbing the wealth of the nation." The letter follows: To the Democracy of the Nation: Our thanks are due to the members of the national committee and to the executive committee in charge of the campaign for most unselfish, capable and brilliant party service. All that it was possible for men to do they did, but our difficulty was beyond the reach of party managers. I am most grateful to them and wish, in this general way, to extend my thanks to the workers, as well as the rank and file; all over the country. I know how hard they struggled against overwhelming qdds, and I only wish I could take each one by the hand and thank him. Deeply as I regretted leaving the bench at the time of it, I do no lament it. I thought it was my duty. In the light of my present information I am now even more confident that I did right. I shall never seek a nomination for public office, but I shall, to the best of my ability, serve the party that has honored me, and, through the party, serve my country. Party Ha Great Mission. The party has in the near future a great mission. Before long the people will realize the tariff-fed trusts and illegal combinations are absorbing the wealth of the nation. Then they will wish to throw off these, but the republican party will not aid them to do it, for its leaders appreciate too well the uses to which the monies of the trusts can be put in political campaign. When that time comes, and come it will, the people will turn to the democratic party for relief. We entered this canvass with every northern, western and eastern state, save one, in republican control. This gave to that party a large army of office holders reaching into every hamlet, many of whom gladly followed the examples set for them by the members of the president's cabinet in devoting their time and services to the party. Must Forget Divisions. To accomplish much in this direction, however, we must forget the differences of the past. If any one suspects, his neighbor of treachery, let him not hint of his suspicion. If he knows he has deserted us, let him not tell it. Our forces have been weakened by divisions. We must bring home to the people at other than election times the fact that moneys contributed to the republican party by the trusts is not only dishonest money, but it is given that the trusts may without hindrance take a much larger sum from the people. In the presence of a defeat that would take away all personal ambition were it true that otherwise it possessed me, I do not hesitate to say that in my opinion the greatest moral question which now confronts us is: Shall the trusts and corporations be prevented from contributing to, control, or aid in controlling, elections? Such services as I can render in that or any other direction will be gladly rendered. And I beg the co-operation as a fellow-worker of every democrat in the country. ALTON B. PARKER. LATEST FROM COLORADO. Peabody Republican Governor, Defeated by. Adams, Democrat A Denver special says: Roosevelt's plurality in Colorado has been increased by later returns and may run above 15,000. Republicans and democrats claim the election of governor and congressmen at large, and the republicans threaten to contest the state election on the ground of alleged frauds in Denver. On the face of nearly complete returns, Adams, democrat, has carried Denver county by 4,500 plurality, and appears to have a safe lead over Peabody, republican, without this county. 12. 1904. VICTOR CONGRATULATED. President Roosevelt Deluged With Telegrams from All Sections Felicitating Him on Election. President Roosevelt was overwhelmed with congratulations Wednesday. They were presented by many people in person and were received by mail and by telegraph from every state and from almost every city in the country. Thousands of telegrams have been received and they are coming in undiminished flood. Four operators are kept busy receiving the messages over the wires at the white house telegraph bureau. Before noon one telegraph operator alone had taken 300 telegrams. The others were equally busy. It will be physically impossible for the president and Secretary Loeb to acknowledge each message received in accordance with the usual custom at the white house, but President Roosevelt desires it to be understood that he appreciates to the full the expressions of his friends and would be glad if it were possible for him personally to greet and thank every one of them. Official business was nearly impossible of transaction by the president Wednesday. Scores of people called on him, to extend their felicitations upon the result of the election. While he related good feeling President Roosevelt was perfectly calm and undemonstrative. GEORGIA FIGURES REVISED. Returns From One Hundred and Thirteen Counties Consolidated. According to the consolidated returns received Wednesday night from one hundred and thirteen of the one hundred and thirty-seven counties of Georgia, Parker's plurality is 51,404 over Roosevelt, who came second. Watson fell behind Roosevelt about 1,200 votes in the counties listed. The total returns from these 113 counties give Parker 70,341, Roosevelt 18,937 and Watson 17,597. It is probable that the completed returns will send Parker's plurality up to 60,000. Parker carried a large majority of the counties of the state, but half dozen go into the Watson column and ten or twelve show majorities for Roosevelt. The incomplete official returns shows small majorities for Watson in the following counties: Douglass, Johnson, McDuffie, Oconee, Paulding and Warren. In his home county of McDuffie, Mr. Watson received 283 votes, as against 196 for Parker and 4 for Roosevelt. The democratic nominees for congress were overwhelmingly elected in every district. The closest race, that in the ninth, between T. M. Bell, democrat, and J. M. Ashley, republican, resulted in the election of Mr. Bell by a majority of 7,116 votes. Griggs, in the second; Lewis, in the third, and Bartlett, in the sixth had no opposition and the opposition in the other congressional districts, outside of the ninth, was purely nominal. Some of Georgia's labor leaders admit that they did what they could to contribute to the defeat of the democratic ticket in the doubtful states, particularly in Indiana, and they did what they could in this direction, they say, because of the treatment which they received at the hands of the recent democratic state convention and on account of the failure of the legislature to enact any of the labor legislation which has been demanded. SOUTH CAROLINA Solid for Parker and State Ticket Without Opposition. Parker has carried South Carolina by not less than 40,000 plurality. The democratic state ticket has been elected without opposition. The state legislature is unanimously democratic. The following democratic congressmen have been elected: First district, George S. Legare. Second district, J. O. Patterson. Third district, Wyatt Alken. Fourth district, Joseph Johnson. Fifth district, David E. Finley. Sixth district, J. E. Ellerge. Seventh district, Ashbury E. Lever. Peck Loses In Wisconsin. While the election returns in Wisconsin are far from being complete, estimates give Roosevelt and Fairbanks over 75,000 plurality in the state. Democratic candidate for governor, George W. Peck, concedes his defeat. The legislature will be largely republican, though it looks like a deadlock on United States senator. Delaware Safely Republican. Roosevelt has carried Delaware by about 5,000, and the republicans elect governor and congressmen. The legislature will be overwhelmingly republican. ITALIAN ELECTIONS Ballots Show That Radicals Lose to Government. EXTREMISTS ARE DOWNED A Personal Friend of the Pope Defeated—A Fugitive from Justice Is Chosen to Seat in Chamber. Advices from Rome, Italy, state that definite returns show that all the members of the cabinet have been re-elected. Former Premier Rudinf, Baron Sonnini, leader of the constitution division and Senior Pettitt, foreign minister, and M. Ferreri, the socialist leader, have also been re-elected. Summing up the result, it isestablished that the governmt has been victorious over the extremists, who have lost twenty seats, Turin, Naples, Palermo and almost all the large towns joined Milan and Genoa in defeating the extremists as a manifestation against the general strike. This rally was the predominant note in the election. The most remarkable contest was in the district of Castelfranco, the birthplace of the pope. Count De Maceola, who killed M. Cavalotti, the famous radical leader, in a duel, had always been re-elected on the first ballot, but Monday, although supported by the clericales, the count, who is a personal friend of the pope, did not receive sufficient votes in his contest against the ministerialist candidate, Signor Pellegrini, a stanch advocate of divorce, and Maceola must try to win on a second ballot. Senor Nasl, former minister of public instruction, and a fugitive from justice, accused of petulation, was reelected unanimously by his fellow townsmen at Tparani as a protest against the charges brought against him, the people of Trapani not believing him guilty. Signor Pallizzoto, who is considered to be the head of the mafa secret society, was a candidate at Palermo, but he received only 289 votes to 1,238 votes cast for his opponent, who was elected. SOUTH FLORIDA FAIR. Exhibit of State's Resources to Be Held at Tampa Arrangement have been perfected for holding in Tampa, Fla., November 14 to 26, inclusive, the greatest exposition in Florida's history, known as the Midwinter Exposition and South Florida fair, at which the agricultural, horticultural, live stock, industrial, mineral and other products of the state will, for the first time, be placed properly before the view of the world at large. The railways have granted very low ready an attendance of thousands from ready an attendance of thousands from other states is guaranteed. FOR REGISTERING ILLEGALLY. Twenty Persons In St. Louis Pulled for Using False Certificates Warrants were issued by United States Commissioner Gray at St. Louis Wednesday against twenty persons, charging them with having registered illegally on false certificates of naturalization. The warrants were issued on the strength of information submitted by Horace Dyer, assistant district attorney. An investigation of registration on false naturalization papers has been in progress. MENAGERIE FOR ROOSEVELT. Animals from King of Abysinla Arive at New York. Two lionesses, two monkeys, two ostriches and a zebra, which were presented by King Menelik, of Abyssinia, to the president of the United States, arrived at New York Monday on the Atlantic Transport Line steamship Minneapolis from London. One lioness died during the voyage. GROVER AROUSES JERSEYITES. Ex-President Makes Closing Campaign Speech in Newark. With a tribute to the strength and enthusiasm of the first voter, ex-President Cleveland in Newark, N. J., Friday night began his second speech of the campaign. He had waited ten minutes for the cessation of the cheering and noise that his appearance brought forth and, for thirty-five minutes after he began his address, eight thousand persons, crowded together on the tan bark of a riding academy, alternately listened and cheered. THE election is over and the Republicans have excellent cause to shout. THE Democrats have been awamped by a deluge of ballots. Will they now be good? TRUE manhood is what the American people like. This is found in President Roosevelt. The voters of this country have shown their appreciation of this quality by giving the President a record breaking votes on Tuesday last. THE TRIBUNE office was thronged on Tuesday night by a large number of friends who had gathered to hear the returns of the election. A special Western Union wire was placed in and an efficient operator was engaged to give the news. Everybody was loud in praise of the service which was continued two hours after the bulletines of the two daily papers had closed. ROOSEVELT has broken all records. He has been 'elected President of these United States by a larger popular and electoral vote than any other President. Much of this is caused by his personal popularity and the principles for which the Republican party stand. The people are against the fanatical policy of the Democrats, especially when compared with the statesmanlike action of the great Republican party. THE Democrats, especially those of the South, made their fight on the Negro question. We know that they did the wrong thing, but the people of the country have demonstrated it by giving them the worst drubbing that they have ever had, thus proving that this country will treat the Negro right and that the Southern Democrats should leave this dead issue and extend to the Negro his Constitutional rights. That's all. If the Democrats would stop harping about the Negro and seek live issues, they will be able to make a better showing before the voters of this country. They have been rebuked for their unnecessary attitude against a race of people that have assisted in making the South what it is to day. These Democrats have bent their best energy in enacting discriminative laws against the Negro rather than according them their God giving and Constitutional rights. JUDGE Norwood of the city court in his statement in one of the daily papers about the cause of the Republican success, states that the party was supported by the Negroes, Cowboys, fanatical Republicans, Socialists and Anarchists, and in fact by the lawless element. Judge Norwood is known as an able-man, but such statement as this does not add to his greatness. If his views are correct then there must be millions of lawless people in this country. This same Judge asserts that "The Negro will keep the South staunch and unchanged." And that's where the weakness of the South lies. Let the Negro alone and they may win some victories. & Masonic Notes. It has been fully decided that the corner-stone of the Masonic Temple now in course of erection on West Gwinnett street will be laid on Thanksgiving afternoon. Grand Master H. R. Butler, M. D., will have charge of the ceremony, Past Grand Senior Warden, Chas. A. Clark of Brunswick will deliver the oration. Each Lodge in the city will have out its full membership and it will be an occasion long to be remembered among the craftsmen in this city. Invitations have been sent to several of the other institutions, and the committee desires to have the attendance of brethren from the nearby ledges. Eureka, the mother Lodge, will initiate several profanes at the regular communication on Wednesday night. The Lodge will be called on at seven o'clock. Hilton Lodge No 2, had some work on Wednesday night. All of the local Lodges are receiving a shock of strenuosity. Next month all the lodges will have election. Brethren "look well to the East," and in fact select-only the very best brothers as your officers. We acknowledge the receipt of an invitation to the fifty-second birthday anniversary of Ill. Magnus L. Robinson of Alexandria, Va. To prove that the Masonic sign of distress is effective, the following occurrence is published concerning colored preacher named Rev. D. R. Stokes, which took place on February 1903 in Texas: Stokes states that he had been hired to make speeches against prohibition. In the midst of the last speech he made a large body of white men rushed into the meeting, seized him, took him to the Sabine River, rowed him to the other side, and prepared to hang him. In his desperation he determined to see if his high standing in Negro Freemasonry would avail him any, and accordingly he made the sign of distress of the Masonic order. Almost instantly a white man, a leader apparently, but who had been one of the strongest advocates of the proposal to lynch him, stepped to his side demanded that the Negro preacher's life be spared. He refused to give his associates his reasons for his change of mind, but simply said: "Spare him and I will guarantee that he never again sets foot in Gregg county." The crowd finally consented, and the white Mason hurried Stokes out of the county. Stokes has not been there since, and says he never intends to go there again. United States Attoney Atwell has made an investigation and has substantiated Stoke's story. Mr. Atwell says he knows of no law under which the United States authorities can start prosecutions, and Stokes did not desire that any be begun. Both he and Atwell refuse to give the name of the white man alluded to. St. Phillips Dots. Sunday was Communion Day and our congregation was out in force. Rev. Sims preached at 11 a. m. His text was Matt. 2:6. Subject "Bethlehem the prince of cities or the birthplace of Christ" At 8 p. m. there was a large crowd out to hear Rev. Sims, his text was St. Luke 2 3:33. Calvary the most exalted mountain. Subject "The Pedigree of Mountain. Here heaven and earth met." This was one of the most interesting sermons that has been heard in St. Philips for a good while. The woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society will have an entertainment Thursday night the 17 instant. We urge our members to pay their dollar money now before it is too late. If our friends wart to assist us in paying, we will receive it thankfully. Mr. Issac Sullivan one of St. Philips oldest members was buried from St Philips on Tuesday afternoon. Bro. Sullivan was a faithful member and he will be greatly missed. The usual services will be held to-morrow. Every body is invited to attend these services. Galnes Chapel Dots. On last Sunday the services were well attended. Rev. Porter, pastor preached three very interesting and instructive sermons, which were greatly enjoyed by all present. The Sunday School gave a splendid concert on last Wednesday in connection with a three nights entertainment by the little folks, under the auspices of Supt. J. W. Love and teachers Memorial services will be held at Gaines Chapel to-morrow at 3:30 p. m., Rev. F. R. Sims, B D and others will speak Rev. W. H. Holmes will preach at 8 p.m., the pastor will preach at 11:30 a.m. All are cordially invited to each service. Second Baptist Church. Last Sunday morning at the Second Baptist church a large congregation greeted Rev. Smith. The pastor preached at 11 a. m, from Romans 6:4 Subject, "The object of Christ's death and resurrection and Baptism a burial in water after the death to sin." After the sermon a large collection was lifted which was indeed gratifying to the officers. Several persons were baptised and indeed every one present was made to feel that the Lord was surely in that place. At 7:30 p. m. Rev Smith preached from John 3:3 Subject, "The necessity of a new birth to see the kingdom of God" In this sermon Rev. Smith was at his best. He is indeed very instructive in his sermons and quite interesting. Visitors are always welcome. Services as usual Sunday. College Dots. The most important event that has happened since school opened was the visit of Chancellor W. B. Hill. He spent the morning in inspecting the work of the industrial department and the afternoon in the literary. At noon he addressed the Faculty and students in chapel. He congratulated the President for the plan of discipline instituted for this year. In urging the students to make the best possible record in conduct and scholarship he said that the object of education was two-fold the acquisition of knowledge and correct habits of conduct. Without knowledge we would be in ignorance; without discipline in the state of anarchy. Dividend Notice.

EEING is believing all the world over, my dear Hefty," remarked Miss Vina Stone, drawing on her gloves and tying her furrs on wrist throat, "I am BEING is believing all the world over, my dear Hefty try," remarked Mrs Vina Stone, drawing on her gloves and tying her furts around a very skinny throat. "I am simply wasting my breath in trying to conceive you that your husband is deceiving you. Wrap yourself up well and come over to my room, and see and jiggle for yourself." Pretty Mrs. Thorpe sat before a bright wood fire which she had kindled with her own hands upon the open hearth, to welcome her husband in question. He liked to sit by her side, as she sewed during the cold evening, and trace out pictured 'fancies in the burning coals. At such times he was very silent. The happy wife had heretofore supposed that he was thinking of her. But, if Miss Vina is to be believed, his thoughts had lately been busy with a mysterious woman, who had suddenly intruded upon their dream of bliss, coming no one knew whence, and going—ah, who could say how or when she was to depart? "It is so terrible! So utterly unexposed!" she said, bursting into tears. "Not to me," said Miss Vina, viciously. "Charles Thorpe was not too steady before you married him. I warned you then." "You said he would be tired of me in one month, and we have been married live, and he is fonder of me than ever." wont Hetty. "Don't talk in that foolish way, child," said Miss Vina scornfully. "The men are a bad lot, take them through and through. My way is the only sensible way to deal with them. Watch them constantly. Show them that you know a part of the mischief they are up to, and they will give you credit for knowing the whole, and will be afraid to carry it through. I could show you such a nice way to get at the bottom of this business, if you will only be guided by me." "That will depend on what I see at your room this evening," said Hetty, turning very pale. "If you are right, there is nothing that I should not be the able of doing, I fear." the cold December night to for proofs of her husband's cy, although, to do her justice, most unwilling heart. BROOKLYN Vina's room was a bare and cheerless apartment, up three is of stairs in a second-class dining house in Boston. The house stood in a side street, but from its end windows could be obtained a glimpse of Washington street, and to her own particular end window Miss Vina escorted her visitor with glances of profound meaning. "You owned to me, Hetty, that your hand had been home late from the every evening for a week past. my dear, every evening for a past, at just about this time, I seen him go up the steps of that shioned brick house that you see opposite. And such a pretty—goodness, there he is! Look judge for yourself if everything it ought to be!" it's beating, aching heart the Deng wife leaned forward, only to to the own Charley" step aside from its incrowd of business men who were carrying up Washington street on their right toward home. She saw him run up the steps of the melent brick house, and knock at its door like one who had the right of entrance. She saw that door opened by a beautiful golden haired woman, who greeted Charley with such a tender smile! They passed into the dimly lighted parlor, and the blended shadows of the transparent blind betrayed a tall, manly figure bending down to meet a pair of uplifted lips! "There!" exclaimed Miss Vina, as if the world were coming to an end that very minute. It had ended for Hetty! "Seeling was believing," as Miss Vinn said, and faith, love, home and happiness had passed away forever—as she thought—with that shadow of a kiss! "Oh, Charley, Charley, I wish that I could die this moment!" she walled, as she sank down in a heap on Miss Vilola's hemp-carpeted floor. He When Charles Thorpe entered his house at a quarter to eight that same evening he seemed to be greatly troubled and perplexed. He had taken several turns around the well lighted and well warmed sitting room before it occurred to him that Hetty did not run to meet him with a kiss, as usual, as soon as his latchkey sounded in the door. "Good little darling! he murmured, "In the kitchen, no doubt, getting up some tempting dish for supper on this cold night. It isn't right to keep this dinner from her any longer. It will be manage with her as with me. I will tell ted the whole story this evening; and every now anything of her kind heart, since I will have Anna ready to meet me here in my own home at this time to tomorrow evening, and all the poor girl's fears will then be at rest." On going toward the door to call his wife, Charley saw, with some surprise, a letter lying on the centre table, directed to him in Hetty's handwriting. He opened it, and, with increasing wonder, read as follows: "Dear Charley—I have been called some suddenly for a few days. I leave the best servant I could find at so short a notice. She seems to be cleanly and civil, and promises to take good care of the house. She is deaf and has an impediment in her speech, but she understands signs readily. In haste, "HETTY." "Gone home! What for, I wonder? She doesn't say. Hadn't time, probably. And left me with a deaf and dumb, servant! Understands signs readily, does she? Then some one else must make them to her. I will be shot if I will!" Master Charley stood for a few moments in utter perplexity, frowning at the letter and pulling his mustache. Finally he left the house. The deaf and dumb servant in the kitchen heard him slam the door loudly, and shook her head, sighing deeply. He had given her no orders about tea, and she was in a quandary. Should she go up into the parlor and lay the cloth? Or should she keep in the solitude of her basement kitchen until the master returned and made known his pleasure? Before she had debated the question long with herself, the intachey turned again in the lock. He was coming back. But this time he was not alone. A woman's voice sounded in the hall. The soft rustle of a woman's dress passed by the kitchen staircase, where the new servant was listening, and then the parlor bell rang. The deft and dumb woman caught up the tray of dishes that stood ready on a side table and went upstairs. Mr. Thorpe, glancing up at his new servant, saw a middle-aged woman, bent and stooping, whose thin, sad face, deeply wrinkled, was half hidden by a widow's cap and spectacles, and some narrow bands of black hair, well sprinkled with gray. "Poor soul! She looks as if she had seen a world of trouble," he thought, and then dismissed her from his mind. In Hetty's own armchair, before the fire, sat another widow, young, lovely and fascinating to a degree. On her the eyes of the master rested more complacently, and with good reason. Few men could have resisted the charm of those deep blue eyes and golden locks, and that wild rose complexion, that contrasted so strangely with the heavy widow's cap she wore. The deaf and dumb servant walted deftly enough during supper, and was, of course, no restraint upon the conversation. After the table had been cleared away the piano was opened. For more than an hour a bird-like soprano warbled Charley's favorite songs, and Charley listened as happily as if there had been no absent Hetty in the world. "Hark! Some one is sobbing and crying near the door," said the fair widow suddenly, as she finished a Scotch air that Hetty loved. "Oh, Charles, if I have been watched and perhaps followed to this house, what shall we do?" Her trembling hands fell with a crash upon the keys. The crimson died away from her lips and cheeks, and she clung to him, unnerved by some sudden thought of terror. "It is nothing but your fancy, Anna," said Charley, freeing himself and opening the door. But even he was thoroughly startled when he saw the new servant crouching on the first step of the staircase, near the parlor, with her head buried in her clasped hands, and rocking to and fro in a paroxysm of grief or pain. "Are you ill?" he asked loudly, laying his hand upon her shoulder. Absorbed in her own sufferings she had not heard the opening door. As Charley touched her she screamed out and lifting her head, showed a face streaming with tears. She looked from him to the graceful, shrinking figure in the doorway. Then she rose, pointing to her mouth and cheek, and making a strange moaning kind of noise, as she took the lamp she had left on the hall table and hobbled down to her basement room. "A sudden attack of toothache or neuralgia in the face, as near as I can make out her meaning," said Charley. "Why, Anna, how pale you are" "That woman frightens me. There is something very strange about her. Do send her away, dear Charley," pleaded the pretty widow, laying her hand upon his arm. "Her shadow, as she stood beside him at the open door, was projected on the wall opposite the kitchen stairs. If she could have seen the gleaming eyes that watched it; if she could have caught one glimpse of the dumb woman's face as she stood listening on that staircase, she might well have felt alarm. "Won't you send her away, Charley?" the soft voice pleaded. "What! before Hetty comes back?" replied Charley, who was now searching the pockets of his overcoat, which hung on the wall, for a cigar. "Oh, yes! This very night, Charley! She gave me such a look just now. I am certain she is not quite right in her mind, dear. I shall not be able to close my eyes this night if that dreadful woman stays in the house!" "Don't be foolish, little one! Do you think I would let harm come near you in this house?" said Charley, finding his cigar at last and lighting it. "The woman is ill, afflicted, and unhappy. I am sure you won't ask me to send her away on such a bleak and stormy N Hiroshima Hospital a Japanese spy, Ito by name, lay dying. He made a frightful picture. Most of his fingers had been frozen off, his body was indescribably emaciated. His face was one that had been seared and twisted by fire; an expression of torture listed found permanent lodgment among his features. To this wrecked creature, says Mr. W. L. Comfort, an American correspondent, writing in the Japan. Times, came a member of the imperial household, bearing the appreciation of the Emperor, and a few hours later the secret agent died. Mr. Comfort thus describes the terrible experiences through which Ito passed before he came to his pathetic end. Soon after the war began Ito and another spy named Shibata formed a daring plan to entrap a Russian train coming south from Mukden. Shibata was to blow up the bridge at Kisfeng, while Ito was to perform a similar act at the Liao-Klank, waiting there until the train had safely passed over the bridge. It would then be trapped between two shattered bridges, when Ito would make his way across country to a place forty miles distant, where a Japanese detachment of 300 men were stationed, and lead them to the derelict train. Ito parted from Shibata at the Helfeng. He made a wide detour through the ice-bound forest and reached the Liao on the following noon. The weather was bitterly cold, but Ito had two days' scant supply of rice and dried fish, and kept on the move to avoid freezing. He made his way east to the main line bridge, and concealed himself in the ironwork of the structure at nightfall to await the coming of the train. There was a Russian sentry at each end of the bridge. These Ito avoided by approaching the structure from the frozen river bed and climbing up the embankment to the iron braces. There he waited for seven terrible hours. The troop train that he had expected early in the evening did not arrive until hours after midnight. The night' was clear, bright and deadly cold. It lay along the girders. The freezing iron sank into his bones. The torture in his limbs gave way to numbness as the hours passed. He fell into a half stupor, from which the train awakened him and almost shook him from his position. He lay for many minutes while the girder hummed falter and falter, but so paralyzed in his limbs that he could scarcely move. He drew himself up to a sitting posture at last and kneded the life back with his knuckles. The charge of powder had already been set. It pulled off his mittens and fumbled in the pocket of his wadded coat for matches. The matches were there, but his dead fingers could not grip them. He crushed open the pocket with the strength of his arms and clutched the box in his palm. His mind was confused with torture and desperation. He knew but two things—that he must fire the powder and tell Yoshimoto, the Japanese captain. If he lost his life in accomplishing the first detachment would not know. The first match broke unlighted. He waited an instant to learn if the Russian sentry had heard. He realized now the big mistake he had made in taking his position on the bridge before the coming of the train. Had he waited at the river until the train had passed, he would have been able to keep off the cold. He struck the second match, working his hands as a babe would fumble with a clumsy tool. The sulphur lighted with a crackle that was like thunder in the midst of the deep silence. As Ito dropped in a heap to the snow of the river bed, fourteen feet below, he heard the feet of the aroused sentry above. The spy called toward the opposite side of the river under the shelter of the bridge. He heard the first sentry shout to the other in Russian that some one had scratched a match. The sentry on the far side started for the first, and passed over the bridge above Ito. The latter, on his hands and knees, since his feet and lower limbs would not yet support him, moved stiffly to the further pier; then, judging as best he could the time that the fuse would last, darted out from under the structure to the moonlight. He was a moment too soon. One of the sentries yelled and fired his rifle. The bullet snapped past Ito's ear. There was a second shot, and the missile sprawled the spy upon the snow for an instant. Then came the horrid crash of the explosion, and the northern end of the bridge was wreckage in which were mingled beyond finding the bodies of the two sentries. Ito was senseless for a time. He recovered slowly, and learned that the second bullet had lodged high in his left arm, but he saw the completeness of his work on the bridge and was glad. He made his way to the shelter of the southern bank, bound the wound with his loin cloth, and then, with frozen extremities and, weak from the loss of blood, started east along the Liao River bed for Yoshimito's hiding place in the mountains. It seemed as he made his way forward that he ran upon his ankle bones. There was no circulation—no life below. He sat down and tried to remove his boots. in order to rob his feet in snow, but the leather bound him like iron, and his hands were powerless. After terrible afflictions he found the night as this is, when you think of it quietly, my dear sister." The parlor door closed. The dumb woman sank down upon her knees on the dark kitchen staircase. "His sister!" she gasped. "Oh. why didn't I think of that? I see it all now—and what a wicked, wicked wretch I have been!" An hour later the beautiful widow was safe in her own room, sleeping without unpleasant visions of any kind; and Charley was bending over the dying coils of the parlor fire, nursing the fag end of his last cigar, while he pondered over the different events of the evening. "Oh, dear! I wish the little woman were here, for I’m fairly lost without her," he sighed, as he rose from his chair to prepare for bed. "She is here, Charley," said a low voice behind him. "Why, how on earth did you get in, dear?" he asked. "I locked the doors myself." "Oh, Charley, you will hate me and despise me, when you know," she sobbed, eluding his proffered embrace. "No, don't kiss me till I've told you. And then you'll never kiss me again, I'm afraid! You see, Charley, Miss Vina came here this afternoon, and she told me something about you; and when I wouldn't believe it, she took me down to her own room, and there I saw you, Charley, going into a house in Washington street, and meeting a lady that you kissed! Miss Vina said she had watched you going there every evening for a whole week, and she told me of a way in which I could find out for myself what it all meant. And, oh, Charley, she disguised me and painted my face, and I was the dumb woman! And I saw you bring that lady here, and I heard her sing my songs to you, and I sat outside on the stairs, crying and praying that I could die, for I thought it was Ida Russell, who was your first love, you know, Charley, and who is a widow now." "Ida Russell!" cried Charley, indig- "Ida Russell" criled Charley, indignantly. "I know I know!" said Hetty, interrupting him. "But I did not know then and at last I became angry, Charley, and half demented, and I had such dreadful thoughts, about her that I was afraid. Then I heard you call her sister, and I remembered Anna at once. I put off my disguise, and washed off the paint, and waited till she had gone to bed to come and ask you to forgive me. But I'm afraid you never can." It was impossible to cherish any feeling of resentment, with the image of the weeping figure on the stairs so fresh in his memory. "Poor child! What an evening you must have passed, thanks to that meddling old mald," he said, kindly. "But she was right in one thing, Hetty. It is just one week since poor Anna came to Boston, and I have visited her every evening since. I wished to tell you of her arrival at the first. But the poor girl has a morbid dread of being discovered. Her husband is a drunkard now, and very nearly a lunatic, if not entirely so, and she has fled to me for a refuge and a protection till a divorce can be obtained. She trembles at a shadow, and her nerves are all unstrung. You will pardon her for fearing that you might not keep her secret, after you have heard her story from her own lips. Such a lovely creature as she was, and if it seems hard that her life should be so wrecked; and yet, she is only just punished. She might have been as happy as we, Hetty, if she had not chosen to marry for money and cast a true love and a noble man aside. Poor girl! You will make her welcome for my sake, Hetty, and you will soon love her for her own. She shall never return to her husband. In his jealous, drunken fury, her life is not safe." "Oh, I will do everything in my power to make her happy," said Hetty, whose kind heart was touched, as he had intended it to be, by the sad story of the beautiful Anna. "But Miss Vina must not know anything about her, if she is to be safe from her husband under our roof." "End that acquaintance now, my love," said Charley. "This will be an excellent excuse." Hetty hcsitated. "And we will bury the history of the dumb servant in oblivion," he added. "Anna need never know." "Dear Charley, how good of you! I will never doubt you again—never!" said Hetty, gratefully. Her lips were very near his own as she whispered the promise. They signed and sealed the covenant, those rosy, smiling lips, in a manher decidedly satisfactory to the receiver of the kiss, but in point blank opposition to the wise Miss Vina's "way."—New York Weekly.

On the front seat of an open trolley car bound east on Chestnut street from West Philadelphia the other evening at about 8:30 o'clock sat a woman enveloped in a light shoulder wrap. The only other passengers were three men on the smokers' seats in the rear. At Sixteenth street the woman threw aside the wrap, when it was seen that the elaborate waist she was wearing, made to button in the back, was unbuttoned except the very top button. The garment was rather close-fitting, and the woman had lost the slimness of youth, so that the opening gaped wide and showed a large expanse of dazzling white neck and shoulder, with the insertable colored ribbon, threaded through a lot of filmy stuff, just below. This unexpected sight throw two of the men in the rear into a state of nervous excitement, or, at least, it was about to do so, but things began to happen right away. The third man, with an absence of hesitation that should entitle him to a good slice of the Carnegie hero fund, tucked a short pipe he was smoking into his pocket, slid off his seat and moved along the footboard to the seat just behind the woman, who was wholly unconscious of the situation and serenely comfortable in the belief that her toilet was complete and effective. The man was a steady-looking individual, not suggestive of the masher nor the seeker of adventurer, and acted in a very calm and matter of fact way. He attracted the woman's attention by leaning over and tipping his hat. Then he said something, evidently in explanation, and the woman, giving a little start, then blushing a little and then smiling, turned her back on the man, who immediately proceeded to button up the dress. He must have had a wife who wore the same kind of clothes, for he worked with the utmost sangfroid, and the buttons were all in their places before the other two men had done gasping for breath. By this time the car had reached Broad street, and the buttoner quietly slid to the end of the seat, got off and disappeared in the night. "Talk about nerve!" said one of the other two men, wiping the perspiration from his brow-Philadelphia Record. A STORY AND A PROPHECY. Some years ago a general solicitor of a large railway corporation was called to South Dakota to argue an important case before the Federal Court. He was summoned to the seat of justice by the local attorney of the company, who has since become a United States Senator. The general solicitor made a fine argument, and afterward walked to the hotel with the judge of the court. "I liked your argument this forenoon," the judge said. "It was a masterly presentation of your case. I don't think you left anything unsaid that could have been said." The solicitor thanked the judge for the compliment, and afterward went to his colleague, the local attorney, highly elated. "I am going to win that case," he said. "What makes you think (so?) asked the attorney. "Why, I'll tell you on the quiet. Walking with me to the hotel to-day, the judge complimented me, and added that I had left nothing unsaid." "Oh, is that all? Don't let him fool you by that kind of talk. We all know him out here. I'll tell you a story. "Once there was a lion-tamer 'whose duty it was to go into the cage and put his head in a big lion's mouth twice a day. One day, after he had got his head in the animal's mouth, he asked the keeper in a low voice. To the lion wagging his tail? 'He is?' replied the keeper. 'Then I'm gone,' said the tamer, and the next instant the lion closed his jaws and killed the tamer." It was a prophecy as well as a story. The solicitor lost the case. GIVES LIFE TO SAVE MOTHER. Miss Blanche Sheldon, only daughter of a wealthy farmer living a few miles from Weedsport, N. X., was instantly killed while trying to save the lives of her mother and a woman friend. The three women were driving to Auburn, and while approaching the crossing of the New York Central tracks the team became frightened by the whistle of a locomotive. The horses began to rear, and fearing that they would bolt over an embankment, Miss Sheldon jumped from the carriage and seized them by the bridles. She could not control the animals, and they started on a run, dragging her with them. The horses dashed upon the tracks just as a passenger train whirled around a curve. The locomotive struck the team, killing Miss Sheldon and so maiming the horses that they died soon after. Mrs. Sheldon was thrown from the carriage and severely injured, while her companion was bruised. Miss Sheldon was well known for her philanthropy, and church work.

"No" is characterized as "a memorable the easiest learned by a child, but the most difficult to practice by the man." Dr. Johnson displays a world of wisdom in these few simple lines, and the saying is no less true in regard to women than it is to men. It seems cold and heartless to a man to refuse to lend a friend a little money to tide over some anxious time, and yet it is a great question as to whether he is justified in doing so if he himself is forced to make some of his own creditors wait while his money is fulfilling a friend's need. In domestic life a woman has also much call for the little monosyllable "No." She may clislike to disappoint her children in some matters, but knows in her heart of 'hearts that the granted favor would be bad for their future health or happiness. Yet how few mothers do say "Not" under such circumstances! And they excuse themselves by saying it is bad for children to be thwarted! So it is, but if the said children were brought up to know that their mother had always a good reason for her decision and was not to be cajoled out of that decision, the mother would save a great deal of annoyance both to herself and to others thrown in contact with her offspring. — Philadelphia Ledger. Color Taste of Mosquitoes In connection with the investigation of the transmission of disease by mosquitoes some experiments have been made recently tending to show that these insects have a certain taste in color, preferring dark surfaces to light. This was demonstrated by placing boxes lined with various colored cloths on the floor of an apartment infested by mosquitoes and noticing that while many of the insects went into the boxes lined with blue few went into those with lighter colors. Accordingly from the results of the observations it was possible to arrange a scale in the following order: Blue, dark red, brown, scarlet, black, slate, gray, olive, green, violet, leaf green, pearl, pale green, light blue, white. Furthermore, it is asserted that an investigator entering a tent with white clothes is far less likely to attract the mosquitoes than one with gray flannel. The experiments, while most interesting, are not altogether convincing, and the question has been advanced, why do the mosquitoes attack the white flesh of the face and arms? Possibly in such cases other elements besides color must be considered, but there seems to be no reason why people living in districts infested by mosquitoes should not make practical tests on their own account by selecting the colors of their clothing according to the above scale, and also make use of it in painting their houses and particularly their verandas—Harper's Weekly. Some People Say. That it is really only the poor musician who is a nuisance to the neighborhood. That it is always a favorable symptom if a husband is patient and good-natured while his wife is preparing a belated meal. That it is rather discouraging to a man to be forced to wait until he is dead in order to discover what a good fellow he was. That another man with a genius for stirring up trouble is to the front with the query as to whether or not it is really advisable to tell one's wife everything. That a good rule in automobiling is that it is better to be safe than sorry. That when a man is always throwing out hints that he knows a good many things that he won't tell the probability is that he has already told more than he knows. That if a girl doesn't put on her best hat and stunningest clothes when she goes out trolley riding with her young man it's a 'sign that she is, confident that she has him cinched.—Utica Tribune Parla Flokpockets. The ingenuity of the Parisian thief is inexhaustible. Its latest manifestation has been in the clever adaptation of dentistry to the purposes of the pickpocket. A practitoner took up his position in a frequent throughfare, and by means of large posters, offering attractively low rates, he soon drew a number of clients and a convenient crowd, until it was at last found that while the dentist was exercising his specialty of cleaning the teeth to the point of being "warranted white for ten years," his lady assistant was "cleaning" out the pockets of the patients with equal expedition and thoroughness. A substantial sum had been netted before the imposture was detected—London Globe. 4 Prison Without Walls Repress, a convict prison in California, is unique in the fact that it possesses no wall. The grounds are studded with nineteen guard posts, which are built of stone and wood, and resemble a system of lighthouses. They are built on salient points of observation, and are fitted with Gatling machine guns, Winchester rifles and shotguns. These posts are from forty to sixty feet high, and are placed various distances apart, averaging 300 yards. No convict is allowed to pass between the posts unless he has permission or is accompanied by an officer or guard. Each post is manned by a clever marksman, and is only accessible by a draw ladder, which is pulled up after the post is occupied. GO INTEREST TO WOMEN MALINES LACE AS TRIMMING. Mallines lace is used a great deal for the purpose of trimming the smart gowns of the moment. A charming blue and white cheek taffeta frock was adorned with little bows of blue velvet, with ends of Mallines, and caught with tiny steel buckles. Another example of fancy green taffetts, piped with velvet of the same shade, had rosettes of Mallines lace, with tiny button rosettes of velvet in their coattres. FOR THE BATH. Far better for the bath than a sponge is the oatmeal bag. This is made of cheese cloth and is about five inches square. It is filled with five parts of finely ground oatmeal, one part pure castile soap and two parts powdered orris root. The bags make a creamy lather in the bath, and lend to the skin a softness and smoothness that is most desirable. The bags should be burned when the goodness is destroyed. If sea salt is used in the sponge bath, care must be taken not to wet the hair, as sea salt is extremely injurious to the hair. To build up the system and invigorate / the body nothing is better than sea salt in the bath. A LOBSTER ON THE HAT. Long famed as the daintiest morsel to tempt man's papate, the lobster is now used as a snare to entrap man's heart. The daintiest little toque at the millers' conference in the Fine Arts Building in Chicago, Ill., has a lobster reposing on its crown. Made of scarlet velvet its black beady eyes look out on the large crowd, which finds it an attraction and novelty. The toque is made entirely of black silk, with shirred brim and crown. The next newest thing at the exhibit is the "boat" crown, which is seen in many of the felt hats and which is the exact shape of a boat. As if to accentuate this idea the trimming is placed below the crown, so that whole outline is visible. A READER'S DEN. Fit the walls with warm crimson or soft safe plain paper or canvas or burlap, so that the reader's brain may not be set splinning with subconscious problems on the origin or significance of patterns. Have low bookcases there, a comfortable divan, small library table or "kidney" writing desk. Hang meaningful pictures, etchings, colored prints, or even handsome photographs, simply framed; derive your diversity of color from a Karabagh or Smyrna rug, and divan cover and pillows, says Harper's Bazar. Also hang soft crimson or olive green scrim or net curtains over green or tan holland shades. Have a drop lamp, with green or opalescent shade, a good writing desk chair, one deep willow chair, stained green or dark brown, and one Morris chair, and a hassock or two.

Mothers should teach their children to care for their hair as early as possible, says the California Ladies' Magazine. If the little girl is coaxed into the habit of giving her locks a hundred strokes with a stiff brush every morning and evening and braiding them loosely for bed, the foundation for a future beautiful head of hair will be laid. Counting the strokes will lighten the task for her, and she will soon become accustomed to it and make it part of her daily toilet. Too many children are allowed to go to bed with their hair in a tousled condition, only to have it jerked and tangled hastily when school time comes around. Such a perverse disfigure in the norms a practice is disastrous to the nerves of a sensitive child and rulous to the hair. Teach the little daughter to take care of her hair, and at the right time, and also to keep her brushes and comb in the proper state of cleanliness. These articles should be as strictly personal property as the toothbrush. Never allow one child to use the other's hair brush. Diseases of the scalp are most contagious, and the brush is the surest germ agent. WOMAN AND FINANCE. A woman never will learn the value of a dollar. She will walk miles to save a car fare and carry a grip for blocks to keep from paying a porter, and then will wear her whole fortune suspended by a slender thread to her waistband. She will declare she cannot afford to replace a lost umbrella nor to buy a pair of rubbers, and will ruin a $20 hat and $10 pair of French boots by going without these necessaries through a driving rainstorm. She will deny herself what she wants most to buy what she does not want because she can get the latter thing at bargain prices. And when she decides that she must have money she has all sorts of ideas about getting it. For instance, the Countess de la Tour de Pin, of Paris, wanted to give her son a royal wedding present. She had no money—but other people did have it. So she borrowed $50,000 worth of gems from a Paris jeweler. Of course she could not give the gems away; they would be stealing. She simply paused them and then went out shopping for that wedding present. Now, wouldn't things be nice and charming if we women could only settle the question of capital and labor? Why, there Wouldn't be any labor at all. There would be nothing but capital-all you wanted of it-New York Press. HOW TO DRESS PROPERLY. To get into one's clothes is an art. To stay in after the necessary number of pins have been put in place is a still greater art. To become efficient in these arts practice the following: Dress slowly. Use plenty of safety pins, as near the color of the gown as possible; let them vary in size. When the blouse is adjusted, pin down in front, at each side of the back, and on each side of the front if necessary. Pin the skirt, after hooking it, firmly to the waist on each side of the back. When the belt is put on take time to see that the hand of the skirt is covered. Pin it, if necessary, but this is not necessary if the belt is not too tight. In putting on the ribbon, collar or whatever may be designed for the neck, pin the ribbon firmly down in the back with a fancy gold safety pin. Pin it again in front, and if necessary use the tiny neat little safety pins around on the sides. Be sure that the skirt is hooked up the back, and that the bodice cannot come unhooked or unbuttoned at the front. It pays to take a little more time and to use a few more safety pins, and to have each garment stiny where it is fastened. OGCUPATIONS FOR WOMEN. It is said that women make their own opportunities nowadays without waiting for opportunities to come to them. This fact is verified by the report that one of the most successful of the dress manufacturing firms in New York is composed of two young women, who, while engaged in teaching, began in a very modest way to put some original work in dressmaking. First, with the design for collarettes, then for waists, and finally for whole suits, these women have gradually enlarged their field until they supply some of the largest retail stores. Forty machines are run by electricity, and two floors on a prominent thoroughfare are given up to their work. Two New York girls started a flower shop in a Western town not long ago. Floral decorations for lunchcous, dinners, cotillons' and weddings are undertaken, besides the regular sale of cut flowers and plants. It is claimed that women show much more taste in the decoration of rooms and tables than men do, and these young women are engaged by society of that town at all times. A woman who goes out by the day in upholstery work is much in demand. Her field is not limited; however, to the covering and mending of chairs and sofas. She takes up every detail in the house in the line of furnishings that need sewing or mending—slipp covers, door hangings, curtains, seat cushions, cushion covers and bed-scrows. Then there are women who go about from hotel to hotel and pack trunks. They are engaged by the day and pack the necessary clothing for the women who travel a great deal. As they pack they make a list of the various articles, and in what part of the trunk they may be found in case of emergency. Some hotels have engaged experienced packers, who are at the service of their guests. There is also a woman who is asked in regard to the furnishing of homes. She selects the wall paper, carpets and furniture to match the various rooms, and suggests the architecture very often. She is a much desired person in society and is referred to many times. It is also known that there are several barber shops in which women preside, and it is said that they give better satisfaction than men. Women boothblacks have also been heard of, and, in fact, there are many other occupations which women can take up.—New Haven Register. FEMININE FANCIES. Smocking is one of the latest trimming notions. Oignon is the name of a new shade of burnt orange. Ruches and piplings appear upon almost every smart dress. The new frocks of the lingerie type are simply fascinating. The toes of shoes are more pointed and the heels a trifle higher. The festoon flounce has been revived along with other Loufs modes. Japanese designs will play an important part in the newest modes. Very stiff and prim narrow mohce ribbons give a quaint touch to the latest headgear. The distinctive feature of the present modes consists in the reproductions of the Louis periods. A new very deep cuff is a feature of the bodices of some very swagger new costumes of supple cloth. There is a prospect of the revival of an old-time favorite, the separate coat of silk or soft, plurable cloth, to be worn with skirts of an entirely different material.

Address SOL. C. JOHNSON, Supt. of Agencies. Sir Alexander Mackenzie Believed the Redmen Were of Jewish Origin. Even as late as the year 1805 there were Indians on the North American continent, who had never seen or heard a gun, had never seen, tobacco smoke and were capable of worshiping the white men who controlled these wonders. The Rev. A. G. Morice tells of some of the adventures of Siman Fraser, who has stamped his name on Canada. Father Morice writes as follows: "On landing at Lake Stuart Fraser's men, to impress the natives with a proper idea of their wonderful resources, fired a volley with their guns, whereupon the whole crowd of Indians fell prostrate to the ground. To allay their fears and make friends tobacco was offered them, which on being tasted was found too bitter and thrown away. Then, to show its use, the crew lighted their pipes, and at the sight of smoke issuing from their mouths the people began to whisper that they were still full of the fire wherewith they had been cremated. Pieces of soap were given to the women, who, taking them to be cakes of fat, set upon crunching them, causing foam and bubbles in the mouth, which puzzled both actors and bystanders. All these phenomena, however, were soon explained away, leaving no suspicion in the native mind, but a most profound admiration for the foreigners and their wares." Sir Alexander Mackenzie had an idea that the Indians of the far northwest were partly Jewish in origin. From Lake Athabasca in 1794 he set out at the head of an expedition "in a birch bark canoe, 25 feet long, 4% feet beam and 26 inches, hold, with 3,000 pounds of baggage and provision and a crew of nine French Canadians." He reached the Pacific coast and returned. The aboriginees he met were for the most part possessed of strongly religious instincts," said he in his report. "With regard to their origin all we are prepared to state, after a careful survey of their languages, manners and customs, is that they are undoubtedly of a mixed origin; come from the north-northwest and had commerce in their early history, perhaps, through intermarriage with people of Jewish persuasion or origin." New Year's day, 1811, in the Canadian northwest was described by D. W. Harmon as follows: "This being the first day of another year, our people have passed it, according to the custom of the Canadians, in drinking and fighting. Some of the principal Indians of Fraser lake desired us to allow them to remain at the fort that they might see our people drink. As soon as they began to be a little intoxicated and to quarrel among themselves the natives began to be apprehensive that something unpleasant might befall them also. They therefore hid themselves under beds and elsewhere, saying that they thought the white people had run mad, for they appeared not to know what they were about. It was the first time that they had ever seen a person intoxicated." —Chicago Daily News. FLOWERS IN SOAP BUBBLES. To blow a flower inside a soap bubble, the surface of a plate should be covered with a soapy solution at least a half inch thick. In the center of this place any compact flower, over which place a tin funnel. While slowly lifting the latter, continue blowing until a large film has been made. The funnel is then disengaged, after having turned it at right angles. No. 468 WEST BROAD ST., SAVANNAH, GA. Negro Insurance Company Doing Business in the United States. HOUSEHOLD' HINTS. Put a pinch of saltpeter in the vases in which flowers are kept; this will make them look better and keep fresh for a much longer time than they would otherwise do in plain water. Simple Preservation of Eggs—A simple plan is to bury the eggs in salt, standing them upright instead of laying them on their sides. They may thus be preserved for a whole year. To prevent bright pans from being blackened by smoke, rub with fat before putting them on the fire. Wash with hot water and soda after using them, and they will be quite bright. A small sponge saturated with oil of lavender and hung near the bed, or a handkerchief moistened and laid near the invalids couch, will be found an efficient aid in driving away intrusive files. An Easy Way to Peel Beetroot—As soon as the beets are sufficiently cooked, place them in a vessel and pour cold water on them, and by gently pressing them the peel will come off easily. A greasy hearth should not be made wet in order to clean it. Rub it over with a piece of dry hearthstone; then brush it off, and you will find the hearth has become beautifully white and clean, with no signs of grease. Patent leather boots should never be cleaned with blacking. They should first be wiped with a damp sponge to remove dirt, and then thoroughly dried and polished with a soft cloth. A very little oil of fresh butter may occasionally be used as a dressing. To Scrub Wooden Articles—Rinse well, sprinkle with fine sand, soap the brush and scrub with the grain of the wood. Carefully rinse and dry, and stand in the open air for a time, if possible, if it is the pastry-board you are scrubbing, and it is only used for the purpose of making pastry, do not soap it. Corned beef hash is said to make an excellent stuffing for green peppers. Of course, no one would make hash on.purpose to stuff peppers with, but hash is often left over. A housewife of an experimental frame of mind who had hash left over, filled some peppers with it, poured around them a brown gravy of butter, flour and water, and baked them. Never allow meats to boll while they are being cooked in water. Hard boiled in salted water will toughen the tenderest piece of meat ever sold. Let the water simmer gently, keeping the pot on the back of the range. To Make Flannelette Non-Inflammable—After flannelette articles have been washed they should be rinsed in water in which one ounce of alum or sal ammonia has been dissolved. This little precaution may be the means of saving many little lives. In packing, set a trunk up on two chairs and the process can be comfortably accomplished without bac ache, or knee strain. If the trunk is not well filled with clothing, drust crumpled paper in corners to prevent things shaking around. To prevent thread from knotting always thread your needle at the end of the cotton as you undo it from the reel, and make the knot at the end that it cut off. If this is done your thread will never knot. "Who are the real heroes of the war?" asks the Louisville Post. The real heroes have been caring for the sick, ministering to the wounded, and hurrying the dead, roplies the Washington Post. THE MOST SAFE. SURE AND RELIABLE. EVERY SUNDAY. $1.25 Round Trip.

The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Wage Earners Loan and Investment Company was held on Monday night last at the office of the company at 468 West Broad street. Over eight hundred shares were represented. President Williams rendered a succinct report of the workings of the Company for the past year. For this able report he was warmly commended by many of those present. In speaking of the removal of the office to its present location, he said: "The J. B. wisdom of this move was exemplified from the first day of our removal, our deposits were increased; we have sold a larger number of shares of stock and our profit account, as will be seen from our Secretary and Treasurer's report, has enabled us to pay our stockholders a larger dividend than any other financial concern in this community, besides carrying 40 per cent of the net earnings to the surplus fund, thereby increasing the value of every share of stock. "Our Savings Department has been very liberally patronized by the public, during the past year, showing a net increase of over 30 per cent; while we are proud of this increase, we cannot fail to realize that it would have been greater had all of our share holders taken the proper interest in the affairs of their company. We should realize, that, by virtue of having stock in this company, we are the true owners of it, therefore the responsibility of fostering it rests upon us. We should labor therefore, to build it up in every department." He further said: "We have been successful in placing a good many shares of stock among our people during the past year. They are beginning to realize the true value of possessing shares in this company. Besides the large dividend that has been declared for the last two years, and the substantial surplus built up, our stock is a valuable asset to have on hand to act as a collateral when the occasion arises to cause us so to use it. With the remarkable increase of business and the splendid showing that our company has made during the last two years, we are confident that our stock sales will show a marked increase during our next fiscal year." [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. MR. WALTER S. SCOTT, SEC TREAS. The report of Mr. Scott, secretary and treasurer, was also approved. It showed the company to be in a healthy condition. This was authenticated by the auditing committee composed of Mr. J. L. Jackson, Mr. E. W. Sherman and Dr. J. Henry Bugg. For directors the following well-known citizens were elected: Col. J. H Deveaux, Dr. J. H Buggs, Messra. S. M. Jackson, W. H. Burgess, C. F. Jones, L. E. Williams, W. R. Fields, W. S. Scott, P. E. Perry, Jos L Jackson, L. M. Pollard and Sol. C. Johnson. Each of these directors are well known and has the respect and confidence of the entire community. After the result of the election was announced, several stockholders spoke commendably of the Company and pledg d their unselfish support to its further success. Since the organization of the Wage Earners, its success has been phenomenal. Each year it has been able to declare a larger dividend than any other financial institution in the State. This accounts for excellent management and support given. In its savings department many of the leading institutions in the city and individuals too are depos tors and these deposits, have been increased monthly, showing the great confidence displayed by a large class of our people in this institution. An Old Citizen Gone. At six o'clock on Thursday morning last, Mr. Josiah D. Lloyd died after an illness of about a day. While Mr. Lloyd has not been in the best of health for the past several years, yet he was able to attend to his business. Mr. Lloyd was about sixty years of age. He was the oldest business man of our race in the city. For a number of years he kept a flourishing grocery and saloon on East Broad and Jones streets, until removing to Oglethorpe Avenue. As a business man Mr. Lloyd was strictly honest in his dealings, and enjoyed the fullest confidence of all the business men with whom he dealt. His word was a sufficient guarantee for any amount of goods and whatever he promised could be depended upon. When his death was announced, many were the merchants who extended their sympathy and expressed regret. Mr. Lloyd was a member of the First Congregational church from where he was buried yesterday afternoon, Rev Thomas B. Lillard conducting the service. Among those who are left to mourn his death are a daughter. Miss Susie Lloyd, two sons, Dr. S. Palmer Lloyd and Mr. W. H. Lloyd. The host friends of the family extend heartful sympathy. Successful Concert. The musical concert given under the auspices of Miss Mary J. Wallace on Monday night at Mt. Tabor Baptist church was one of the greatest eyer given at Mt. Tabor. This being the fourth concert given by Miss Wallace, quite a large crowd attended. Miss Wallace is known for her sweet singing and is a most faithful worker of Mt. Tabor church. She has been for eight years or more alto singer. Among the singers were Miss Etta McIntosh, Mr. W. H. Stykes, Mr. A Patton, Miss C. Alexander, Miss Gertrude Holmes, Miss Rosa A. Holmes, and Miss Ada Denegall with her excellent voice. The solos rendered by Miss Denegall were grand, and she was frequently encored. Mrs. Robinson also rendered very fine music. AMUSEMENT COLUMN.

Further: Figures of Election Intensifies "Land Slide." NEAR THE 2,000,000 MARK McKinley's Highest Vote Over Bryan Is More Than Doubled—Solid South Seems to Be Finally Broken. With the election returns still incomplete Thursday moraling the plurality of President Roosevelt in the nation according to all indications, will exceed 1,500,000—the greatest plurality ever given an American candidate. The nearest approach to this vote was in 1896, when McKinley received a plurality approximating 850,000, and in 1872, when Grant received 762,891 plurality. The interest centers in Missouri and Maryland. Late returns indicate that the former state is in the republican column, so far as presidential electors are concerned, but that Joseph W. Folk, the democratic candidate, has been elected governor. In Maryland the presidential vote will probably be cast, for President Roosevelt. Late returns indicate that Thomas A. Smith, democrat, has been elected to congress in the first district by 450 plurality. Congressman Jackson, of this district, however, puts forward a claim of trick ballots and fraud and says he will contest the election. In the other states it is simply a question of pluralities. Solid South Broken. "The solid south" was broken by the probable defection of Missouri—this section of the country usually having thirteen states in the democratic column. The figures show but twelve states with 133 votes for Judge Parker. President Roosevelt carried all the northern states—swept them in fact—and he had 343 electoral votes. The banner state is Pennsylvania. Twenty-four hours after the polls closed the returns from this state indicated that Roosevelt's plurality would reach 485,000. Next came Illinois, where the president polled approximately 225,000 more votes than did Judge Parker. Ohio gave Roosevelt 200,000 and New York 174,000. The New York city returns are still incomplete, but the amazement over the result has not subsided. Judge Parker carried Greater New York by only 41,000 votes. In general the situation is chiefly interesting because of the tickets in many of the states were cut. President Roosevelt ran ahead of his ticket in many localities, notably in Massachusetts, where he secured a plurality of 86,000 votes, while the republican candidate for governor was defeated for governor by 35,000. In that state the legislature is republican and the entire republican ticket, with the exception of governor, was elected. In Missouri circumstances are similar. In Nebraska the definite announcement that the legislature is republican disposes of the statement that W.W. Bryan had aspirations for a United States senatorship. In that state, too, the governorship is in doubt, and it will require official returns to determine who is elected. Both sides claim a victory. There is a curious situation in Minnesota, where Roosevelt secured 125,000 plurality, but where a democratic governor and a republican lieutenant governor were elected. The election of a democratic governor is the second in the history of the state. Chairman Babcock, of the republican congressional committee, probably returned to congress from Wisconsin, but Chairman Cowherd, of the democratic congressional committee, was defeated in Missouri. The situation in Colorado presented an interesting phase. Roosevelt has carried the state by probably 15,000, but the governorship is still in doubt, both sides claiming a victory. New Yorkers Create Pandemonium Over Result of Election. Broadway, New York, Tuesday night, from Twenty-third street to Forty-second street was packed with a shouting, noisy multitude who were celebrating the elections. Horns, hells, rattles, whistles and other contrivances which would create a din were used with vigor and effect. It was a good-natured crowd, and all seemed to be republicans for the time, and the names of Roosevelt and Higgins were often and heartily cheered. Democratic Figures in Alabama. H. S. D. Mallory, chairman of the democratic state committee, states that Alabama cast the largest vote in years. The majority of the Parker electors will probably be 75,000. In the seventh district, in which the only real fight against the democratic candidate was made, Congressman Burnett, democrat, is re-elected over Powell, fusion, by 2,000. All the nine congressmen are democrats. No Fault of Railroad When Its Employees Go. Out on Run-Fatigued. The Railway and Engineering Review has the following to say about the working of railroad employees over time: It has been a very common custom to abuse fullroads for working men overtime, and it has been equally common to ascribe many of the wrecks to that cause. The strange part of such a charge is the assertion that the practice proceeds from greed on the part of the roads, the writers apparently being ignorant of the fact that the men are paid by the hour and that it costs no more to pay two men ten hours each than one man working twenty hours. A court in Pennsylvania has latently taken a sensible view of the case. It appears that a freight train had orders to remain upon a sidetrack until four trains had passed and that, while waiting, the entire crew went to sleep. Being awakened by the passing of the third train, they assumed that it was the fourth train and consequently pulled out and into the last train, which had not yet arrived. Two persons were killed and several injured, and on the trial of the engineer, whose case first came up, the plea was made that when a railroad employee falls asleep from physical weakness, from illness, or from weariness from long hours or steady employment and an accident occurs, the employee should be acquitted. The court overruled this plea, holding that no man had a right to work on a railroad unless in fine physical condition, and if he fell asleep, no matter from what cause, he should discontinue work, even though he should lose his position, rather than jeopardize the lives of passengers; and as a Fésult the engineer was convicted. This is a sensible as well as just ruling. A man himself is the best judge of his own fitness for such work so far as the matter of sleep is concerned; in fact, he is the only one who can know of his condition in that regard. The absurdity of the charge commonly made against the railroads on this account lies in the fact that trainmen have the absolute choice of going on or staying off duty, and it not infrequently happens that trains are tied up on route because men prefer to go to sleep rather than work long hours over-time. If there is any "greed" connected with the matter it is wholly on the part of the men themselves, who naturally want to make large wages, and as a result frequently do go but in an unfit condition and thereby endanger not only their own lives, but the lives of others and the property of the company as well. It is full time that the responsibility in such cases should be fixed where it belongs, and the Pennsylvania court has made a move in the right direction. How to Stay Young. How old are you? The adage says that women are as old as they look and men as old as they feel. That's wrong. A man and woman are as old as they take themselves to be. Growing old is largely a habit of the mind. "As a man thinkk in his heart so is he." If he begins shortly after middle age to imagine himself growing old he will be old. To keep one's self from decreptitude is somewhat a matter of will power. The fates are kind to the man who hangs on to life with both hands. He who lets go will go. Death is slow only to tackle the tonacious. Ponce de Leon searched in the wrong place for the fountain of youth. It is in one's self. One must keep one's self young inside. So that while "the outer man perisheth the inner man is renewed day by day." When the human mind ceases to exert itself, when there is no longer an active interest in the affairs of this life, when the human stops reading and thinking and doing, the man, like a blasted tree, begins to die at the top. You are as old as you think you are. Keep the harness on. Your job is not done.

Making Artificial Rubles. Few problems have had greater interest for the chemist than the artificial preparation of diamonds and other precious stones, though their efforts have not been marked with conspicuous success, despite the invention of the electric furnace and other means of producing high-temperature. A recent process is the making of artificial rubles, and has been discovered by a German chemist named Vermeul. It consists of fusing a mixture of clay and thromium oxide with the heat of an oxyhydrogen burner and then allowing the mass to cool suddenly, thus producing crystals. The two materials are placed in alternate horizontal layers, and the heat, which is as intense as possible, is applied from above. The quick cooling caused by suddenly shutting off the blast produces the hardness characteristic of the ruby, and the resulting crystal, which is pure and brilliant, is said to possess all the physical properties of the natural gem, being cut readily and taking a fine polish.—Harper's Weekly.

A series of experiments, conducted by physiological chemistry at the university of Pennsylvania, has proved that swimming is the most beneficial exercise. He visited the dressing rooms at the athletic field, and immediately before each athlete left for his exercise drew blood from him by means of the regularly prepared sterile needle. Then, when the athlete returned to the dressing room, after running, jumping, polevaulting, or engaging in water polo, the needle would again be brought into play, and a second sample of blood drawn. Analysis of the blood, to discover how far each exercise increased the number of red corpuscles, showed that water polo and other forms of swimming resulted in the largest increase. The swimming exercises were thus shown to be the most beneficial, for the greater number of red corpuscles, the richer is an average increase of 21 per cent. as against 17 per cent. for the next best exercise—short-distance running. After one of these examinations, during the athletic season, while the men were in the pink of condition and exorting themselves to the utmost, Dr. Hawk found the following results, in round numbers, from the count of blood corpuscles: Percentage of gain after the 100-yard dash, 25; 120-yard hurdles, 21.5; half-mile run, 18; mile run, 14; two mile run, 9; broad jump, six jumps, 15; three-minute water polo game, 27.—The World's Work.

After a few days the letter came back, with an intimation that it must be rewritten, as the eagle appeared upon it head downward. Evidently Berlin smelt "Majeatsbeeldigung."

Deafness Cannot Be Cured Jewish by local infections as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed you have a swollen mass that can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Ninety cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
