Post Election Trouble in West Virginia Grows Acute. Governor, However, Suggests First the Forming of a Large Posse—Sheriff is Unable to Control A special from Charleston, W. Va., says: As the result of the killing of Constable Walter Jackson in Montgomery by Policeman Elliott on Wednesday, and the subsequent capture of the town by the four brothers of Jackson at the head of about forty of their friends, a reign of terror exists there. The mayor, being helpless, appealed to Sheriff Daniels. When Sheriff Daniels and John Rolf were killed by Ed Jackson, the saloons were at once closed and Governor White was asked to send troops. The governor repiled that he would hold troops in readiness, but advised forming a large posse. If the pose should meet with serious resistance, troops will be sent to their relief. The Jackson followers escaped to mountain strongholds with which they are familiar. Ernest and Bob Jackson were arrested and jailed in Charleston. A pose headed by Marshal Harrison B. Ash, of Thurmond, is accuring the mountains near Montgomery. Two bloodhounds arrived from Dayton, O. They were placed on the trail Friday morning. The officials in Montgomery fear further trouble as sentiment against the slayer of Daniels is very strong. Before the murder of Daniels the sentiment was with the Jacksons against Policeman Elliott. The latter is in the custody of Chief Hundley. A relative of Jackson appeared at the hotel and attempted to reach the room of the policeman. He was prevented by the attaches. Reports from the posse are that Ed Jackson was chased into a cave Friday night when it was decided to wait for daylight for his capture. Although the place was surrounded during the night, Jackson escaped. Meantime the friends of Jackson are reported to be openly organizing around Montgomery and swearing vengeance if Jackson is lynched or killed without being given a trial. The excitement for miles around Montgomery is intense because of the trouble. Deputies are being sworn in from adjacent counties rapidly and hastened to the posse to prevent lynching or any violence if Jackson is taken alive and also to prevent any attempt of Jackson's friends to rescue the prisoner. Those who terrorized the hamlet of Montgomery with the Jackson brothers are being feared again, while many citizens are away with the posse. A reward of $10,000 has been offered for Jackson dead or alive. * WYNNE OUT ON BOND. One of Alleged Atlanta Counterfelters Released from Jail. William L. Wynn, who has been held in the Atlanta jail for several weeks, charged with counterfeiting and conspiracy against the government in connection with the big counterfeiting scheme recently unearthed in Atlanta, was Friday morning released from custody on a $1,000 bond signed by Alonzo Richardson. When first arrested in St. Louis, by the United States authorities, the bond of Wynn was assessed at $3,000. Upon the request of his attorneys, United States Attorney E. A. Angler agreed to the reduction of the bond to $1,000. The release of Wynn at this time constitutes an interesting development in the proceedings against the alleged counterfeiters, especially when it is remembered that there will likely be no more criminal proceedings during this term of court and his case cannot come up for a hearing until next spring. TROUBLE IN LABOR RANKS. Chicago Central Body Is Ousted by President Gompers. Formal notice that the charter of the Chicago Federation of Labor had been revoked, and that the organization was expelled from the American Federation of Labor, was given Friday by Secretary E. N. Nockels by telegram. The telegram was signed by President Samuel Gompers, of the American Federation of Labor, and was dated at Denver, where the members of the executive council of the American Federation made a stop on their way to the San Francisco convention. Jap and Russian Outposts Near Mukden Engage in Lecsultory Skirmishes Day and Night. Advices sent out from General Kuropatkin's headquarters, via Mukden, state that frequent fights between the opposing patrols occurred Monday. The Russians, with heavy hitzers and 6-inch gun batteries, shelled the Japanese trenches and gave the working parties a little respite. Large numbers of Russians are arriving at the front to replace those who have fallen. The Russian army is realizing more fully day, by day the enormous task involved in driving back the Japanese. Great hopes, however, are placed on the Russian second Pacific squadron. Another dispatch says: Since Sunday signs of a serious engagement taking place within the next few days have been increasing. The Japanese are displaying great activity eastward. A St. Petersburg dispatch says: The latest indications from the front point to an early resumption of military operations on a large scale. Field Marshal Oyama has received heavy reinforcements from Nluchwang and evidently is about ready to wage battle for the possession of Mukden. The Japanese are showing particular activity on their right flank, as if they were contemplating a turning movement from that direction. General Kuropatkin has fortified his position along the Shakhe river, and as he seemingly is prepared to accept a battle, he doubtless has made dispositions to block a flanking operation. United States Supreme Court Passes Upon Important Tax Case. By a decision of the United States supreme court rendered Monday, the Georgia Railroad and Banking Company, or its lessees, must pay into the treasury of the state of Georgia taxes for at least four years, perhaps for seven, and possibly for fifteen, on $1,500,000 of the capital stock of the Western of Alabama Railroad Company, which it owns. In rendering this decision, the supreme court has established on a firm foundation a principle of Georgia law, and hereafter all stock in foreign corporations held by individuals or incorporated companies in the state, must have taxes upon it. This will affect hundreds of shares of stock of corporations in other states held and owned in Georgia, all of which will now be called on to pay tax, state, county and municipal, and that, too, under a decision from which there is no appeal. The supreme court of the United States has reversed the decisions of two lower courts, the United States district court for the northern district of Georgia, and the United States circuit court of appeals for the fifth circuit. Judge W. T. Newman held that the state could not collect taxes on this stock. The court of appeals, at New Orleans, by two to one, upheld Judge Newman's decision, and by certiorari the case was taken from that court to the United States supreme court at Washington with the result stated. ANOTHER BLAZE IN KNOXVILLE. Tennessee City Suffers Loss of Valuable Public Library. Knoxville, Tennessee, suffered another serious fire in the business district Monday afternoon. Shortly before two o'clock the Lawson-McGhee Library building was discovered on fire and was soon doomed to total destruction. Many rare and valuable volumes were in the library, and it is difficult to give an estimate of the value of this property. The building was worth about $25,000. It was presented to the city by Colonel McGhee, in 1885, as a memorial to his daughter. The library is the property of the city. The loss to this library, Vance Furniture Company, Commercial Club and Business college located in the building, it is believed, aggregate more than $100,000. G.O-EDUCATION OF RACES. John G. Carlisle Fighting Kentucky Law That Forbids It. The constitutionality of the Day bill which prohibits co-education of white and colored pupils, was attacked in court at Nicholasville, Ky., Monday by Hon. John G. Carlisle, upon a demurre to an indictment found against Berrea college. The case was only partly argued, when, by agreement, leave was given to file briefs and the case was set for the February term of the Madison county circuit court. Berrea college, it is said, is not now receiving colored pupils, SAVANNAH. GA. SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 19. 1904. RENOUNCES CREED Marquise de Merinville. Quits the Catholic Church. Daughter of Millionaire Caldwell Returns to Faith of Her Fathers After Most Eventful Career in Philosophy The Associated Press at New York has received the following, but, before giving it publicity its authority has been fully verified by cable from Rome: "Rome, Nov. 14, 1904. "Editor of the Associated Press: You have full permission to print the enclosed and give it as wide a publication as possible. "MARQUISE DES MONSTEIRES." "Dear Editor: It may interest some of your readers to know that the Marquise de Monstesire Merinville, formerly Miss M. G. Caldwell, who, it will be remembered, founded the Roman Catholic university at Washington some years ago, has entirely repudiated her former creed. In an interview with me the other day, she said: "Yes, it is true that I have left the Roman Catholic church. Since I have been living in Europe my eyes have been opened to what that church really is, and to its anything but sanctity. "But the trouble goes much further back than this. Being naturally religious, my imagination was early caught by the idea of doing something to lift the church from the lowly position which it occupied in America, so I thought of a university or higher school, where its clergy could be educated and if possible refined. Of course in this I was merely influenced by Bishop Spalding, of Peoria, who represented it to me as one of the greatest works of the day. When I was 21 I turned over to them one-third of my fortune for that purpose. But for years I have been trying to rid myself of the subtle, overwhelming influence of a church which pretends not only to the privilege of being the "only true church," but of being alone able to open the gates of heaven to a sorrowful, sinful world. At last my honest protestant blood has asserted itself and I now forever repudiate and cast off the yoke of Rome." So saying the marquise politely dism.ssed me. "It will be remembered that the Marquise des Monsteires Merinville and her sister, the Baroness von Zedwitz, are the daughters of the late William S. Caldwell, and his wife was a Breckinridge, of Kentucky. Shortly before his death Mr. Caldwell became a convert to Roman Catholicism and left his children to the care of Irish Roman Catholics in New York, whom his wife had met in church circles. The youngest sister married some fifteen years ago a German nobleman, a Lutheran, and has since then also left the Roman Catholic communion. The elder sister has been in very bad health for some years, from having to occupy a position before the world as a prominent Roman Catholic church benefactor which was not a real one, and into which her generosity led her as a young and inexperienced girl. Now at last her own mind has asserted itself and she returns to the creed of her ancestors." The Divinity College of the Roman Catholic university in Washington is known as the Mary Gwendolyn Caldwell Hall of Divinity. Prominent members of the Catholic clergy in Washington expressed their surprise at the announcement. One official of the church attributed as a possible cause, taking the story to be correct, the notoriously which the university gained by the failure of Thomas E. Waggaman, its treasurer, by which the university suffered considerable loss. MORGAN GETS ANOTHER ROAD. Reported as Holding Option on the Cincinnati Hamilton and Dayton Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton. It is reported in New York unofficially, but on what is considered good authority, that J. P. Morgan and Company and H. B. Hollins and Company have an option on a majority of the stock of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton railroad. Social Democrats Celebrate. Social democrats to the number of several thousand have celebrated in New York over the large vote cast for their candidate, Eugene Debs, in the presidential election. -By an explosion in the mine of the Peabody Coal Company at Sherman, Ill., a ware room and tipple were destroyed and two miners, George McGee and Ivan Myseru, were injured. -By direction of the secretary of war, orders have been issued carrying into effect the recommendations making changes in the uniforms of the army. -It is reported in Toklo that General Stoessel, commanding at Port Arthur, has asked the Japanese for an armistice, the purpose for which it is not stated. London weekly newspapers devote considerable space to the presidential election in the United States and all dwell lengthily upon the personality of President Roosevelt as the prime factor in the republican victory. Emperor William, of Germany, intends to give many of the valuable objects now on exhibition in the German building at the St. Louis world's fair to the American nation. The Novoe Vremya (St. Petersburg) declares that all Russia endorses Nicholas' message to Vice Admiral Rojestvensky, of faith and hope in him and says the good wishes and approval of the whole nation accompany the squadron. —It is reported that Cornellius Vanderbilt will shortly accept a position in the diplomatic service and in this connection the post of first secretary of the American embassy at Berlin is mentioned.— —The navy department has received a telegram stating that the cruiser Columbia, which went aground near Pensacola, Fla., has been floated uninfured. —The plant of the Chicago Steel Company at Newcastle, Ind., has been burned with a loss of $100,000; insurance $24,000. President E. P. Riley, of the Santa Fe Railway system, states that it is a fact that John D. Rockefeller, Sr., and James Stillman, president of the National City Bank, of New York, have purchased $25,000,000 in Santa Fe stock. It is understood that arrangements have been completed by Russia for the floating of a loan of $250,000,000 in Berlin, of which German banks have underwritten three-quarters and Holland banks the remainder. Five Japanese, the advance guard of a colony of forty or fifty families, have arrived at Frisco on their way to Dade, Fla where they intend to cultivate 67,000 acres of land. —In celebration of the election of Mr. Roosevelt to the presidency a large number of prominent Panamans serenaded Joseph W. J. Lee, the American charge d'affaires. —It was announced in Washington that the president on his approaching trip to St. Louis will make no stops at other cities coming or going. —The mining town of Anaconda, Colorado, has been practically wiped out by fire. Fully 100 frame structures were destroyel. An estimate of the total loss is $25,000. —Governor Blanchard, of Louisiana, announces the appointment of Mayor Paul Capdeville, of New Orleans, to be state auditor, in place of Martin Behrman; just elected mayor of New Orleans. President Roosevelt makes the announcement that John Hay will continue as secretary of state during the four years beginning March 4 next. President Roosevelt has promised to attend the Louisiana Purchase Exposition on Saturday, the 26th of November. He made this promise to a committee from St. Louis, headed by Mayor Welles, who visited Washington especially for the purpose of inviting him to visit the fair. Both sides still claim Maryland, and Republican State Chairman Hanna and Collector Stone, Republican leader, have announced that if the electoral vote of Maryland is not declared for Roosevelt they will contest the results in the courts. The furnaces of the Virginia Iron, Coal and Coke Company, at Middlesboro, Ky., will go into blast November 20th. They have been idle for fifteen months. They employ three hundred men. Thomas E. Watson, who is in New York, has issued a public statement regarding election results, and his future plans. PANAMA PLOTTERS Sought Overthrow of President Amador But Failed. SEEK CANAL MILLIONS News Received In Washington Indicates Widespread Conspiracy and Trouble Brewing on the Advices have reached Washington concerning the reports from Panama of a conspiracy there directed against the president While the details are not available, it is understood by administration officials that this conspiracy was directed against President Amador and was conceived by persons who want to control the remainder of the $10,000,000 fund paid by the United States to Panama in consideration of the right of way across the lethmus. It is further learned that the movement was a failure, President Amador having been warned in advance, but it is feared the same elements will repeat the effort. INQUIRY BEGINS AT HULL. The inquiry which Great Britain conducts on her own behalf into the North Sea incident, opened at Hull Tuesday. Vice Admiral Bridge and Butler Aspinwall, an admiralty court lawyer, who were appointed to conduct the inquiry, and whose report will form the basis of the British case before the international commission at Paris, sat at a large table surrounded by maps showing the Dogger bank and the North sea. The correspondent of the Associated Press learned at the outset that the board of trade solicitors who have prepared the case have found no evidence to suggest the presence of torpedo boats among the fishing fleet. The inquiry will therefore merely be an implication of the evidence at the inquest and it will be moved to London in the course of a few days, the proceedings in Hull being confined to a narrative of the shooting. STOESSEL REMAINS DEFIANT. Advices from Japanese sources at Port Arthur state that a wound received by General Stoessel has necessitated his confinement in a hospital, that he refused to relinquish the command of the garrison and that he has issued orders to the troops to die at their posts rather than surrender. It is said that the spirits of the Russian troops has been dampened by continuous work, the lack of supplies and the hopelessness of their ability to make any successful defense of the fortress. It is said further that many of the Russian soldiers are ready to surrender, but that they are kept at their posts by officers who threaten them with revolvers and that several soldiers who were suspected of a desire to desert have been shot as a warning to others. OUTLAWS CONTINUE BUSINESS. Robbers of Bank and Murderers of Cashler Do Another Bold Deed. The two bandits who made a descent on the First national bank of Cody, Wyoming, two weeks ago and killed Cashler Middaugh, committed another bold robbery early Tuesday, when they held up the inmates of Edwards' saloon and gambling house at Thermopolis, Big Horn county, and secured a large sum of money, watches and jewelry. The outlaws wore masla, but, were recognized as George Merritt and his partner, who killed Middaugh. They were mounted on fast horses and escaped. Well Kown South Georgia Saw Mill Man in Financial Trouble. A petition of A. Erilich & Bro., Smith Bros. and, W. L. Grayson & Co., of Savannah, asking that E. L. Moore, of Valdosta, Ga., a prominent sawmill man, who had mills at Pearson and Poulan, be adjudged bankrupt. The case is set for a hearing on the 29th of November. Mr. Moore recently lost a splendid mill at Poulan and had no insurance, his loss being something like $30,000. It is said that his liabilities will approximate $150,000. Russia is Determined to Fight to the Bitter End. AN EMPHATIC STATEMENT Ambassador Cassini, at Washington, Puts Quietus on Reports Regarding Possible Mediation. 8 "Russia will pursue the war in the Far East to the bitter end—that is, until Russia has conquered." These are the opening words of an emphatic statement made at the Russian embassy in Washington Monday by Count Cassini, the Russian ambassador. The statement continues: "I deem it my duty to reiterate what I have so often said, that Russia will not suspend in any case her military operations in the Far East. All rumors and reports regarding the success of the direct overtures for peace, which Japan is said to have made to Russia, and regarding the mediation of the powers, are, in my opinion, started for the purpose of convincing the public that the end of the war is close at hand. In this way it is hoped that the public may be led to believe that Japanese loans offer attractive investments. "All Russia cannot more admit of interference than Great Britain in the Transvaal, or than could the United States in her war with Spain. Where the prestige of a country is at stake, all other considerations are and must be put aside. Some people may think that financial difficulties will influence Russia to end hostilities. Such an opinion is based on the false assumption of Russia's financial resources. There is no doubt whatever that Russia, whose annual income exceeds one billion of dollars, cannot be influenced in her attitude toward the outcome of the war by the amount of war expenditures. It is not altogether out of the question that Russia, who did not expect war, should in the moment when she has mobilized her army and is sending corps after corps in fighting readiness to the Far East, suddenly call a halt on hostilities, particularly after she has for nearly a year, without any difficulty or recourse to extraordinary measures, been able to carry the extra expense." Penslon Commissioner Sends In Resignation to President Roosevelt A Washington special says: Commissioner of Pensions Ware tendered his resignation to the president, Monday, and it was accepted to take effect January 1. When seen later Commissioner Ware refused to discuss his action in any way, except to state that the newspapers of the country had been "resigning" him for the past two years. For at least one year, however, it has been definitely known that Mr. Ware would retire from his office soon after the fall elections and return to his home in Kansas to resume his law practice. It is believed that Commissioner Ware's action was not due to any suggestion that the severance of his relations with the pension office would be agreeable to the president. On the contrary, it has been no secret that Commissioner Ware soon after assuming his duties found the duties of his office distasteful to him and that this distaste steadily increased. There is no infirmation as to who his successor will be. Yankee Editor Incurs Wrath of Venezuelaan President. A. F. Jaurez, editor of The Venezuelan Herald, has been ordered expelled from Venezuela by President Castro. The news came to the state department in a cablegram from its legation at Caracas. No details are given, but if is stated that Mr. Jaurez has always defended American interests in his paper. By a vote of 153 to 83 the Vermont house of representatives, after a syl-rited debate, refused to pass to a third reading and so defeated the bill to abolish capital punishment in the state. St. Louis Pays Uncle Sam. The sum of $191,850, the last installment of the federal loan of $4,600,000 made to the world's fair several months ago, was paid into the United States sub-treasury Tuesday by the officials. MANY persons have given their version of the defeat of the Democrats, but the main cause is that they did not have enough votes. EVERY time certain men of the South look, think or act, it is the Negro. They have gone dalt on this point, and subordinated every other interest to it. A MAN of the opposite race can become illegally connected with a colored woman without the least remonstrance, but the moment an attempt is made to legalize it, there will be trouble galore for some one. THE Atlanta Constitution comes out strongly in favor of a Southern man for the presidential nomination. And why not? It has been conclusively shown that it is only the South that clings to the Democratic idea, and a Southern nominee could carry as many states as did Parker. SEVERAL reports have been current in the papers during the week of white men committing the nameless crime upon white women. They were not lynched, nor were the entire white race blamed for their depraved action. Their action was only noted in the fewest possible words. It seems that a premium is placed upon the crime of a white man. STRENUOUS efforts are being made to remove the Georgia Infirmary from its present location. One enthusiast has gone so far as to show figures to prove how beneficial the removal would be to the trustees of the institution. It is claimed that the property could be sold at an advanced price and a more suitable building erected elsewhere. Another claim is made to the effect that the present location of the infirmary is too far from the colored population. In the first claim, the need of a more modern building can not be denied, but there is no reason why a modern annex can not be erected on the present site. There is sufficient space for it, and the $10,000 received from the sale of a part of the property recently, could easily go toward this improvement. If the property is valuable now it will become more so within the next few years, and it is just as well for the Infirmary to enjoy its enhancement as any one else. If there happens to be some folks who do not care to live near a hospital, let them locate elsewhere, as the surrounding lots will surely not go begging. The other claim is not to be considered. The Infirmary is undoubtedly nearer the colored population now than it was years ago, and nearer than any other site that could be selected. Those who are opposed to the removal of the infirmary should make it known by their immediate action. Pointed communications and personal appeals should be made the trustees to "stand pat." THE recent utterances of R.v. A. M. Williams have placed him among the foremost thinkers. His sermon, on Sunday last deals with a question that is near every one in this section especially. His exposition of vital facts should be read and pondered over by every white man. If his views were accepted the white man will be better off; the Negro more contented and the South would indeed be a garden spot. After naming several bondages under which the white people are under on account of fear of the Negro, he said: The consequences of this bondage are not pleasant to contemplate. Only unlimited resources of climate and nature forces material advancement. Mental stagnation is the inevitable result when freedom of thought is repressed. Intellectual development is hampered when the scope of truth is subjected to a tyrannical censorship. Moral worthiness is depreciated when truth must be suppressed, justice attenuated, independence smothered and manliness maligned. "Such conditions deteriorate progress in all lines. Immigration may not be destroyed but the senile, less vigorous type will be the kind secured. Government will be liable to deteriorate as the racial demagogue will prove the popular applicant for franchise. Southern influence in national affairs will be brought into constantly narrowing limits while a people proclaims that only one issue controls, and serves notice that the boycott will be applied to all who refuse to subordinate every interest to the popular dictum. "How can statesmen be grown in such evil! No encouragement is give- en our men of brains to master the science of government, the truth of pending issues, the profound problems of our age. "Independent conviction expressed on them would be as pearls cast the swine in the presence of our negrophobia. Our bondage to the black calls not for genius for government, but the ass that bray in loudest notes our racial dogmatism. "Treat every question independent of the Negro's presence Soon the atmosphere will clear. The Negro would improve. American assimilation would hays freer process. "In illustration apply the policy to the question of suffrage. It needs reform. It is the foundation of our civic life. Ignorance and corruption are menace to pure government and sound administration. Whether black or white, the franchise privilege should be purged of these evils. "Limit the ballot to intelligence and integrity. Deny it to ignorance, purchasability or crime, whether white or black. Give the worthy and qualified colored man recognition of his manhood. Deprive corrupt Negroes and corrupt whites of their power to work the country harm through the ballot box. The possibility of Negro domination as suggested. It is the bug-aboo of the demagogue. White degradation is much surer under present conditions than Negro dominance under restricted franchise which recognizes the rights of the worthy black man. As long as the race issue banks the whites on one side of every question, irrespective if its logical bearings, so long will the blacks be lined in solid phalanx on the other. "Discuss every question on its merits. With perfect freedom the worthy colored men will divide. In this way the Negro dominance will be prevented even if numerical strength threatened otherwise. Suppose New York should deal with its race questions in this self-conscious way. Each of its conglomerate people would be a parcel to itself. Such is not the case. Schurz supports Parker and Schieran Roosevelt. What is true of the most intelligent foreigners would work similar good to the least advanced people treated with the same freedom from communal self-consciousness. "Tired, discouraged, isolated wisdom calls for a wiser and more righteous solution of the relation of the Southern white to the balance of the world than the present suppression policy. "A Georgian, every fiber of my nature yearns for a broader and better life for my people. Every impulse of my heart yearns for greater influence in the great world's parliament for my kinsmen according to the flesh. I pray for some power to emancipate the white slaves of the South." Masonic Notes. Next month is the time for election. Masonry is the greatest institution of them all. All of the Lodges are having constant alarms for admission. Hilton and Pythagoras will have a joint communication and "work" on next Wednesday night. Proficiency is one of the principles of Masonry. In this eulightened age every Mason should be well informed. Only small calibre men who do not appreciate things literary and intellectual have any fault to find with Masonry. All Masons are good but only select the ones who are most interested and are unselfish for the good of the craft as officers. The mother Lodge, Eureka, brought to "light" several profanes on Wednesday night. The occasion was a large gathering, graced by the attendance of two Past Grand Masters. The grand Chapter Royal Arch Mason, met in its annual convocation at Macon with the following officers present: Most Execellent G. H. P., Jesse Robinson; Deputy G. H. P., M. C. Tookes; King, J. H. Babcock; Scribe, J. H. Woods, Treasurer, J. F. Kimbrough; Secretary, W. M. Rand; Capt of Host, Geo. F. Thomas; Princ. Soj. A. J. Holmes; Royal A. Capt, G. R. Robins; M. of 3rd Veil, E. J. Tatum; M. of 2nd Veil, J. F. Kimbrough; M. of 1st Veil, J. M. Blunt; R. A. G., J. H. Walker; G. M., G. O. Smith; G. O., C. M. Moon; G. M. D., Dr. H. R Butler. The various committees were appointed on program, foreign correspondence, jurisprudence, charters and dispensations, and exemplification. The Grand High Priest rendered his annual report which was well received and reported upon favorably by the committee. The following officers were elected G. O. Smith, Grand High Priest; M. E. George, C. of H.; Geo. F. Thomson, Princ. Soj; Sol. C. Johnson, R. A. Capt.; H. T. Jones, G. M. 3rd Veil; J. H. Babcock, G. M. 2nd Veil; G. L. Griffin, G. M. 1st Veil; W. A. Bonds, G. T.; Rey, A. T. Speight, G. O.; Committee on Finance; A. B. May, J. J. Jenking. M. C. Tooken; committee on warrants; H. Moore; J. W. Williams; G. D. Smith; committee on jurisprudence; Geo. F. Thomas, Wm. Island, M. O. Kimbrough. The convocation was grand indeed and each companion intends to work heartily, for the upbuilding of the Grand Chapter. Each chapter is expected to have organized a Court of the Heroines of Jericho. On Tuesday last a telegram was received in the city announcing the death of Mr. Josiah Logan of Atlanta. This excellent gentleman was known all over the state, especially by the members of the fraternal institutions of which he was connected. He was known as a high tone christian gentleman, true to his friends and to a principle. In Masonic circles of which he was quite a light, he was highly respected by his brethren; he was well versed in Masonry, and it was indeed a pleasure to converse with him along this line. He was also a prominent and active member of the Good Samaritans Mr. Logan's life was full of good deeds as exemplified by the laudable work in which he was engaged until his heath. He had charge of the Carrie Steele Orphanage in Atlanta where a large number of orphans are being cared for. They will especially miss his fartherly care and attention. He left a wife, several children who reside in the North, and sisters, among whom is Mrs. A. M. Carsten of this city and other relatives and a number of friends to mourn his death. The bereaved family has the sympathy of friends. The Judge's Lamentations Ye Gons? What apparitions these, That fall upon my ken, Be they the ghosts of Mimics Making monkeys out of men? Be the hallucinations mere, The vaporous, shadowy light Of fancy, or be they the facts, That break upon my sight? If facts, avaunt my every plan, My ardent hopes, avaunt, Or else my life, my liberty, Thy apparitions haunt. Ah, wretched judgment that of men, Ah, woeful plight to be The victim of the filmsy wit, That so deluded me. I fell, he rose, and, risen, reigns King by the people's will, His many wounds: of heart are healed But mine are smartling still. Deserted now, I must arise, A victim of the fray. And, like Arab, fold my tent, And, like him, steal away. How bitter was ambition's wine, That sparkled in the cup. Borne to me by my comrades' hands, Alas, I drank it up. Its fermentations reeled my brain, And lured me from the HALL. Of FAME, unto mysterious heights To which I rose to fall. Ah, wretched judgment, that of men, Ah, woeful plight to be The victim of a filmsy wit, That so deluded me. Thou sayest I'm dead? I be not dead, Feel thou my pulses beat, Life's riddle still remains unread, Though ruffled by defeat. I see, I breathe, I live, I move; These tell me I exist. Though plans and hopes lay shattered there, LIFE, precious boon, they missed. So now I rise, I must arise, Though victim of the fray, And like the Arab, fold my tent. And like him, steal away.

Selkirk was ¢he sailing master_of the vessel. and, In reality, he had had a “fo'ling out” with the captain some ‘tlme before and begged to be put ashore. . Just what this quarrel may ‘have been is not known, since the ‘account comes from the captain him: ‘self.

As boundless as the sea. A Woman's Deception. BY LLDYD WILLIAMS. He stood listening. It was the most delightful sound that can reach a musician's ears—one of his own compositions being played by a land for fresh air. I write stuff that nobody wants to hear, and you play stuff written by me. So we are bound together by the bond of eccentricity. She looked at him seriously. He was complete stranger. It is all the more delightful when the composer is not entitled to the adjective "popular" and has not often submitted to the experience. "One, or two people who knew what they were talking about used to say that if Charlie Barnard had not been born so enormously rich he would have achieved something considerable in musical art. As it was he had, written one or two pieces of real merit, which, however, not being designed to tinkle the public ear, were known only to a small band of connolssurs. "The piece in question was a "Dance des Fees," a delicate, artistic little work, of which an eminent professor, who wouldn't have stooped to flixtion to save his life, had said: "If it were not so thoroughly original it might have been written by Mendelssohn." But his publishers did not take Charlie Barnard very seriously. Being gentlemen, with the commercial faculty most excellently developed, and the musical faculty deplorably neglected, they looked upon him as a wealthy amateur, who met the cost of publication with a smiling face and cared little about profits. So the general public scarcely knew of the existence of a composer who might have added a little lustre to his country's somewhat doubtful reputation in music. He stood there listening with a smile of pleasure on his face. The piece was being played, with remarkable accuracy and not a little taste, and his hands unconsciously beat time to the rhythm while his head nodded approval. He had come to Switzerland for a rumble, and had not expected to be greeted by the sound of one of his own works. Presently the music ceased, and a moment later a lady came out of the room whence the sounds had come. She was tall and gracefully built, well dressed and undeniably pretty. "Married," reflected Charles Barnard, "but" on second thoughts—a "widow." Their eyes met. In a small Swiss hotel it is possible to speak even to a pretty woman without an introduction if she gives one a reasonable excuse. Her eyes, in addition to being bright and intelligent, were agreeable, and he bowed. "I fancy I have to thank you for an unusual pleasure," he said with a smile. "It isn't often I hear my compositions played so charmingly. In fact, to tell you the truth, it isn't often that I hear them played at all." She looked at him for a moment in doubt. Then her face fushed a little with pleasure. "Are you then, Mr. Charles Barnard?" she asked. "I am that much neglected individual," he said. "In this case, however, a very fortunate person." They felt an instinctive liking for one another, that odd sense of community of interest, which very young people mistake for love at first sight. They were not exactly very young; she was perhaps eight and twenty and she was about seven years older, but they were instantly aware of the community of interest. "I am very fond of music," she said. "I think I may say, without affectation, I am passionately fond of it, and, of course, I admire my 'Danse des Fees.' I suppose everybody does who knows it." "Perhaps so," he said, with a kind of cheerful cynicism. "That is to say, it is admired by about a score of my intimate friends." She opened her eyes wide. "Is it not popular?" she asked. "Never likely to be," he said, with a shrug. "Why?" "Heaven alone knows" he said, carelessly. "Between ourselves, I suppose it isn't good enough." "If you were not so delightfully frank I should believe you were fishing for a compliment," she said, with n laugh. "I admire your playing of it," he remarked, bluntly. She looked at him with a pretty little quaker. of doubt. "Please don't make game of me," she said. "I had not idea the composer was within earshot." It will be found generally that the "community of interest" game begins with a liberal display of complimentary fireworks. He insisted on the excellence of her playing, and she continued to look doubtful, as if she were not quite sure that he was not making game of her, than which nothing was farther from his mind. But they became very friendly. There were mountains to be climbed and, they, climbed them together. Mrs. Weston was active and unaffected. She was troubled by nothing of the weakness sometimes ascribed to her sex, and did not turn faint, or demand physical support at exciting moments. She climbed quite as well as he did and seemed to enjoy it. Music was tabooed from the conversation at his request. "I live in an atmosphere or music," he said, "and I have come to enjoy." . lind for fresh air. I write stur that nobody wants to hear, and you play shuff written by me. So we are bound together by the bond of eccentricity! She looked at him curiously. He was not the first musician she had met, but he seemed to be quite different from her hollow of what a composer ought to be. His hair was not long and his dress was not sloppy. He looked like a lawyer of a doctor, clean, cheerful and very like a man. The late Joseph Weston, an excellent old gentleman, who had been so thoughtful as to anatomy a fortune by a conscientious study of the dress trade, no waiver in music, except as an after-dinner form of amusement, and never could be persuaded to regard it as a serious business. Consequently his pretty widow looked upon musicians as she had found them, organists, teachers and fifth-rate vocalists, slightly feeble people, in a chronic state of poverty, and blessed with an enduring thirst. This man puzzled her. She liked him—quite apart from music—and she could never have liked the queer people who occasionally came to the late Joseph Weston's pleasant villa. As they became more intimate they became more confidential. 'Mr. Barnard heard all about, the late Mr. Jos. Weston, of whom she spoke with sincere affection, and she let him know, in that indirect way only possible to women, that she was wealthy. "I have published twenty or thirty little pieces," he said, with a smile, "and I can lay my hand on my heart and state that I have never earned out of the lot enough to buy me a suit of clothes." Her face clouded sympathetically. "And yet you go on working?" she shid. "I write stuff because I like writing it," he said, simply. Charles Barnard always spoke of his work as "stuff," he was perhaps one of the most genuinely modest men in the world. It was not that he took a ridiculous view of his powers; he seldom thought about himself at all. "I suppose teaching pays best," she remarked. "On the whole, it does," he said. "Some men make quite respectable incomes by it." He didn't mention that he had never had occasion to give a music lesson in his life, because he was not given to discussing himself. "It must be terrible to be obliged to waste one's powers and energy on the drudgery of an art, when one has capacity for really good, work," she said, wistfully. "It is," he said, thinking of one or two good fellows he knew, who were struggling for fame in the midst of poverty. "I know more than one man who might turn out really excellent work, if he didn't have to earn a living." And she treasured the saying in her heart, thinking it applied to himself. They lingered on for nearly a month in the cheap, little hotel—for it was outside the beat of the ordinary tourist—daily becoming more necessary to each other. Of course he didn't propose. Men seldom propose in real life. It is only in story books* that they say "Will you?" and the lady hides her blushing face, and whispers "Yes." But it came to much the same thing in the long run. One night they were strolling back to the hotel. She was tired, and he made her take his arm. There happened to be no other visitors about, and they went onto the veranda, and gazed on the mountain they had climbed some half dozen times. He put his arm round her waist, and she submitted. It had not, occurred to him to do such a thing before, and if he had she would probably have laughed at him, and called him to order. But the psychological moment had arrived. Perhaps it was the "community of interest" perhaps there is, after all, something stronger, much traduced though it is by novelists and poets. When she wished him good-night, he kissed her. She laughed at him softly, but not a word was said about a deep and dignified passion. "I'm afraid this mountain air is'getting into our head," she remarked. "Makes. one feel bully, doesn't it?" he said, unpeeled. "But he spoke the next morning of their being married as if it were all arranged. "Are we going to be married?" she asked, raising her eyebrows. "We are, if you think you can trust yourself to me," he observed. "I think I might be willing to do that," she said, quietly. "If you really wish it." "I do," he replied. "If you have never before told a woman that I loved her." "You haven't mentioned it to me yet," she said, with a twinkle in her eyes; "but I think I understand what you mean. What about your sense?" LITTLE THOUGH it is a well understood fact that the country small-businesses of the country are particularly ill-known about them. Most people in the East-have, experienced, or seen in others, the dreadful effects of "the poison iy; while on the other hand, in the West, plants acting in another way—as the laxurp, an poison weed the loco, or carry weed—are very well known, and the damage done by them is exceedingly serious. So great is the harm done by loco in some portions of the West, that between 1881 and 1885 the State of Colorado paid out the less than $200,000 in bounties in the hope or extermination of the philip. It is hardly necessary to say that these efforts were ineffectual. Over much of the Middle Silesia all of Southern New England the poison lvy grows, in lorophora abundance; fences, stone white hedgerows and tall trees are powered by it, with beautiful effect to the eye, but with dire results to the person going too near the plant, provided he or she is sensitive to the poison. On the other hand, domestic animals—and no doubt, wild ones as well—appear to be unaffected by the poison. Cows, horses, mules and goats cat the leaves readily, and apparently without ill-effect. They push their way through thicketts of the vine, and seem never to suffer from it. The hunch subject is variously susceptible to the lvy poison. Some individuals can handle the plant without danger; others cannot go near it without great subsequent distress. Some people will be very badly poisoned by passing to the leeward of a fire in which the stems of the lvy are burning. There is a great variety of plants which poison animals and people who eat them, but most of them are not especially attractive, and are eaten chiefly in curiosity and ignorance by little children. Deaths from eating jimson weed occur very frequently in and near large cliffs, and it is but a few weeks since several cases of the kind were reported in a suburb of New York. There are two mushroom-like toadstools or fungus—which are violently poisonous. These belong to the genus Amanita; and are called fly-killer, fly fungus, and poison fungus. The first one is perhaps the best known of all the poisonous fungi, and has been used in Europe as a fly poison for hundreds of years. While bearing a close resemblance to the common mushroom, it may be distinguished from it by having white instead of purple gills, by its warty cap, its bulbous stem, and by the fact that it grows in forests where the edible mushroom does not grow. The so-called death-cap or bulbous Amanita, is even more poisonous than the fly-killer, and should always be avoided, for cases have been known where handling it has caused trouble. This species also has white gills and grows in woods, though sometimes getting cut on to the lawns. Both these fungi have a collar about the stem just below the head. False hellobore, known also as Indian police, puppet root, earth gall, corm, poison, devil's bits, wolfshank and lugbane are also poisonous if catnip. It is a stout perennial plant, from two to seven feet high, bearing large pleated, stemless leaves, and a terminal cluster of greenish or yellowish flowers, blooming in May to July. Human beings have been poisoned by eating the roots, and horses by eating the leaves; but certain ruminating animals, as sheep and eels, appear not to suffer inconvenience from eating it. The pokeweeed is well known to every American country boy, and most of them have made rek. from its berries, which are also greedily eaten in autumn by many birds. The young shoots of this plant are commonly eaten as greens, but these should be well bulled, and the water should be changed once before the stems are eaten. Poisoning has occurred from cutting the root and the fruit; but, on the other hand, as has been already, said, the birds eat the berries with impunity. Several species of larkweir are regarded by stock growers as destructive to cattle. They are among the first plants to show their green leaves above the soil in spring, and are therefore eagerly sought for by cattle, often with fatal results. It is quite possible that animals accustom themselves to this plant, and that if eaten in small quantities in conjunction with other plants, the piece-tage of deaths, resulting is very small. The leaves of the wild cherry are called to be fatal to cattle, which soon after eating are inflicted with labored breathing, convulsions and death. In all such cases, there is an evil odor of prussic acid in the breath. The damage caused by loco is well known. Horses, cattle and sheep are affected by it, but horses most of all. 'An animal which has eaten loco is for a time crazy (loco-kg). It seems not to be able to see, and cannot altogether control its movements.' Apparently starting in one direction, it will suddenly turn off to one side, and perhaps run into a fence or building. After it has acquired a faster for the plant, it continues to eat it, searching for it everywhere, and after a few months or years dies. Allied to the joo-oo in what we known as ratbottle, to the wreath, or wilde pea, a familiar plant, from the Atlantic Coast of the Mississippi River, and beyond. *Perhaps my--my_money_may help you to make a name, she did; rather timidly.* "I hope you don't reason on my coming famous," he said. "I don't know that I have ever tried to be thought. I will become desperate. If you wish it I will. You ought to understand that I have not been hampered by lack of funds." Then he gave, her a rough idea of the very satisfactory state of his finances. "What a shame!" she said. "I thought I was going to help a sturgegling genius." "You may help a struggling man," he said, gravely, "but not a struggling genius. You would have accepted me, even if I had been penitent." "I had accepted your you, lushest upon it," she said, laughing, "But it'm not at all offended at hearing the true state of affairs. At least, we can never suspect one another of being mercurial." They were strolling back to the hotel, after a morning rumble. "Suppose we go in and have some music," he said. "Don't it funny. I haven't heard you play since the day I arrived?" She turned scarlet from her chin to her brow, but he did not observe it. "I remember standing and listening to it," he continued, happily. "I believe my heart went out to you at once Hello! What's the matter?" She turned, white. "I-I have delivered you horribly," she said. "But really, I hardly gave it a thought. I can't play the piano at all." He looked at her in establishment. "Then who was it?" he asked. "I'll sweat that hasn't been anyone staying at the hotel with a touch like that." "It was one of those, mechanical things," she said, weakly. "You know, you wind them up, and they strike the note. It—it had been sent to the hotel on approval, and was taken away next day. I happened to put in your piece, and when you chose to think I had been playing it. I—I-I let you." She was nearly crying, because she couldn't understand the expression on his face. What about the "community of interest" now? He was a musician; she was not. "I'm awfully sorry," she whispered, with trembling lips. "I didn't mean to deceive you. In fact, I meant to tell you, but—but I forgot." He had seated themselves on the veranda, and he had tossed his cap aside. Now he reached it, and stuck it on his head—askew, as usual. "Where are you going?" she asked. "I'm going into the town to see if that jeweler chap has anything decent in the way, of rings," he said. "You had better come with me." "All right," she said, neatly. "And, look here," he added, "Jon't you tell anyone that I don't know the difference between one of those mechanical things, a planula, and a human being. But I'm rather glad you don't play." "Are you really?" she gasped. "One person in the house is quite enough," he said, with a grin. "Do you like diamonds?" -New York Weekly-. No Place For the Cow. A young woman of great, perhaps too great, sensibility begged to be excused from visiting an nunt, who lived in an old-fashioned house, where pictures of a certain period were in evidence. "There is an engraving of a blacksmith's shop in the dining room!" said she, hysterically. "You can't expect me to eat my dinner there. I smell the hoofa." A similar criticism came from one who suffered not from over refinement, but from something quite different. She was a woman of recently acquired wealth who, says the New York Tribune, went into an art gallery and asked for a painting of a certain size. "I have just what you want," said the dealer. He showed her a beautiful animal painting, but she looked at it for a few minutes, and then shook her head. "It won't do," she said. "I want this picture for my drawing room." "But it's a beautiful thing, ventured the dealer. "Not for a drawing room," announced the woman, conclusively. "You couldn't have a cow in a drawing room." The Revolving House Again: Two French gentlemen-Dr. Pellegn and M. E. Petit, an architect, of Paris-have designed a method of erecting houses on rotating, platforms, so that the building can be made to face to any required direction at any time. The platform is supported on two concentric walls, the inner chamber to be made containing a stairway, and the axis of rotation is occupied by a shaft, through which pass the supply and wasto pipes of the house. A gas of petrol engine is employed to move the platform, and if necessary it can be used to drive clockwork which will enable the house front to follow the sun during the day.—Lancar. Poisoning Sheep Half a band of 70 sheep belonging to C. A. Estes and B. F. Lynn, two large sheep owners who reside in Alturas, were poisoned this week by calpette. For months the sheep and cattle men have been engaged in a controversy, one intent on driving the other from the ranges. Several times cntries bands of sheep have been nearly wiped out of existence. The last sufferers claim they will hunt down the gullity, parties, and strenuous times are looked forward to for San Francisco Call. LITHOF it is a well-known name in the business world that is known for its business improving legal parts of the quarry, comparatively little is known about them. In New Mexico the hapless somewhat 55-year-old bee has much more to offer. It poles species of euphorbia are poisonous to, eat or to handle. The bitter, milky juice when it touches the skin causes redness, itching, and often a breaking out of pimples and blisters, while if by any chance the seeds are taken internally in any quantity, death may ensue. In certain sections where the bees resort largely to the blossoms of the euphorbia, the honey is made unsalable, being disagreeable to the taste and mildly poisonous. Polotón lvy, polotón tasty and polotón sunach, are found over most of the country, and are perhaps the best known and most distressing of the poloous plants of Andesia. Investigations recently indicate that the poloous is a non-volatile soil found in all parts of the plant. Like all soils, it is insoluble in water, and therefore cannot be washed off the skin with water alone. Alcohol, however, readily removes it, and its effect is destroyed by an alcoholic solution of sugar of lead. Mr. V. K. Chestnut, author of an interesting pamphlet on poloous plants of the United States, published by the Agricultural Department, has this to say about the effect of the oil on the skin: "Numerous experiments show conclusively that the oil produced precisely the same effect as does the plant itself. When a very minute amount is plumed upon the skin, it is gradually absorbed in the course of a day or so, and within certain limits the effect is proportional to the time of contact. In an experiment performed by the writer, the oil was applied to four places on the left wrist, and these were carefully guarded to prevent spreading. At the end of an hour one of the spots was thoroughly washed by successive applications of alcohol. In three hours the oil from a second was washed off in the same manner, and the others were cleansed three hours later. There was little or no effect on the first; that on the second was more marked, but did not equal that on the last two, which was about the same in each. The spots were within an inch of each other, but remained wholly distinct, a fact which very clearly shows that the infection is not spread by the blood. Subsequent applications of an alcoholic solution of sugar of lead gave speedy and permanent relief." The best remedy is a saturated solution of fifty or secrety-five per cent proof alcohol with powdered sugar of lead. The most effective means of getting rid of the poison ivy is by uprooting the plant. This, of course, can only be practiced by persons not susceptible to the poison. The poison sumac, also called pollen dogwood, poison elder, and poison ash, is a tree rather than an incin. It is not less dangerous than the more common poison ivy. Certain buckeyes—especially the red buckeyes—are more or less poisonous; cattle sometimes are killed by eating the fruit of the red buckeye. The allied horses chestnut and Ohio buckeye are poisonous to some extent, while on the other hand some of the California Indians use the fruit of the California buckeye for food, after removing the poison by roasting and leaching. Two species of water hemlock—one found from the Atlantic to the Rocky Mountains, and the other in the central region and toward the Pacific Coast—are violent poisons. They are sometimes eaten by cattle and sometimes by children, as they have a pleasant taste and an aromatic odor. The root and root stock are most violent poisons. The poison hemlock is an old world plant which has become naturalized in the United States. This is believed to be the poison that Socrates drank, and so is historically very old. The black nightshade, known also as common nightshade, is an introduced weed which is generally distributed in suitable locations. Cattle occasionally are killed by eating the plant, but comparatively few cases are fatal. Forest and Stream. Faults in Conversation. Dean Swift once said: "There are two faults in conversation which appear very different, yet arise from the same root, and are equally blameable. I mean an impatience to interrupt others and the uneasiness of being interrupted, ourselves. The two chief ends of conversation are to entertain and improve those we are among or to receive those benefits ourselves, which whoever will consider cannot possibly run into either of these two errors, because, when any man speaksaike in company it is to, be supposed he does it for his hearers' sake and not his own, so that common discretion, will teach us not to force their attention if they are not willing to lend it, nor, on the other side, to interrupt him who is in possession, because that is in the grossest manner to give the preference to our own good sense." Javan Has Little Good Land. Only 14,980,222 acres or 15.7 per cent, of the whole area of Japan, exclusive of formosas, consists of arable land, and fifty-five per cent, of the agricultural families cultivate less than two acres each; thirty per cent, cultivate two acres or more, up to one and one-half cho, or a little less than three and three-quarter acres, leaving fifteen per cent of the 'farmer' who cultivate farms of three and three-quarter acres, or less. # KITCHEN HINT This dish is a fun way to enjoy your kitchen island or fobber by popping it in a colander, pouring boiling water over it, and then letting it stand long enough to drain and cool. DISINFECTANT DISINFECTANT: The simplest and cheapest disinfectant, and one, too, having no odor, is copperas. Two pounds, will make a gallon of saturate solution. A portion should frequently be poured down each pipe which carries waste and water. CONVENIENCE OF A. SLATE. CONVENIENCE OF ILLUSTRATION I wonder if many housekeepers know what it convenience a slate and its when hanging on the kitchen wall, with it pencil attached, says the Ladies. Hourly Journal: It is a place to write down needed articles and kitchen supplies as they fill up. If you read the washing out, sell it and make it make a list, scratch on the, back of the slate, with it pointed nail, in an eye column, the names of all articles likely to be sent. Then each week you have only to write the number before each name and erase it when the cloths are all returned. HOW TO SELECT GOOD PRUNES. Prunes should be large and solid and have the surface unbroken. If one wants them worth the cooking. Take one in your hand, pull and flatten it out. If it leaves the skin unbroken and shiny you may, feed safe that you have the proper article. After washing them and allowing them to stand in clear, cold water over night, allow them to cook over a slow fire for an hour. To two pounds of the fruit, add one-pint of water; stew slowly for one-half to a full hour. When putting in the sugar a rich flavor can be added by alleling a lemon and grating the ring into the prunes. Let them stew until there remains just enough water to cover the fruit and make a rich juice. What to Eat. CARE OF FINE RUGS; CARE OF FINE RUGS: No matter what the size or quality of a rug it is a mistake to shake it by the end to beat it free from dust. The force required to grasp it securely and the sharp snap and jerks are rudious to the blinding and fringe; in a short time the edge will be 'born' from the warp, especially at the corners, and the places where it is grasped in the hands, training the appearance of the rug, as well as shortening its period of usefulness, says the Philadelphia Bulletin. A thrifty housekeeper who prides herself on knowing how to keep her rugs fresh for years never shakes them, but keeps them clean by spreading out its porch floor and sweeping them thoroughly on both sides with a soft broom. When she goes over them several times with a carpet sweeper, which is kept free from dust by emptying the dust traps frequently. Any rugs which have seen hard wear and are very dusty are funging on a line and lightly beaten with a small whip. On sweeping day a small rug is looked over for possible breaks, and every loose corner, no matter how small, is promptly mended with linen carpet thread and wools if occasion requires. If grease spots are discovered they are cleaned with tepid water and household ammonia in the proportion of a half teapoonful to a quart of water. Scrubbing the spot lightly, wetting the rug as little as possible and hanging in the sun to dry is the method. Never use soap that is course and rank; if soap must be used, select a refined sort. HOUSEHOLD RECIPES. Whipped 'Apples'—This is a delicate dessert for children or an invalid. Stew a half dozen large, tender, tart apples, using speed to keep them white and soft. Set aside until cold. Whip a half plot of sweet cream and the whites of two eggs to a stiff froth, add the apple and whip all thoroughly together. Sweeten to taste and flavor ditto. Pour into a mould and set on the ice until needed. Banana shortcake—Make a ricotta 'ilethi- becuit crust, bake in jelly cake, tins in not too thick layers. When done, split open with forks and butter, while hot, three layers being forced for one cake. The two bottom layers laid one top make the four shape. Takes about three good-sized, thoroughly ripe, bananas and shred 'n' with forks. Spread a layer of the fruit on the crust, adding the 'least' bite of 'salt', and sprinkle well with powdered sugar. Add the next layer in the same way. On the last one spread fruit very, thickly well mixed with sugar, so as to form sort of 'ting'. Serves with soft custard flavored with vanilla. Charlotte's.

A great land magnate of Southern China owns and farms four acres. His envious neighbors hold competences of one acre or bare pittances of an eighth of an acre, but Wong Poy is lucky. He has even been able to afford a wife. Two "hands" work for him in these harvest days, at the panic wages of twenty cents a day. The men squat, Oriental fashion, at their work, chopping down the stalks with swift stabs of their little sickles. Mrs. Wong Poy and her eldest, a daughter, follow behind and tie up the sheaves with wispes of straw. The two cherished menchildren, sole hope of heaven for Wong Poy, play through the stubble and steal grains of wheat to chew. It is a are caught in this, for in China every grain is numbered. When the wheat is all in and has been beaten out on the thrashing floors and stored in the well guarded granary under Wong Poy's house, the family makes rejoicing. There is a little mess of fish for the pot. A punk stick and a cup of rice brandy are offered up to the gods of grain, and before them Wong Poy, his hands tucked in his sleeves, bows to the ground while he recites prayers. Mrs. Wong steals away from her husband to meet with the other village women and hold strange rites—wild, contortionate frances, with visions of the upper and nether worlds. So have their mothers done, time cut of mind.—Harvesting the World Over, Everybody's Magazine. WISE WORDS. If woman lost us Paradise, she alone can restore it.-J. G. Whittler. A throat-dry with praying is rare to be found among us.-S. Rutherford. "A prudent man never butts into danger for the purpose of advertising his bravery." The good in the guise of the bad may do as much harm as the bad in the guise of the good. The weather has not been invented that will not furnish an excuse for not going to church. The seeds of repentance are sown in youth by pleasure, but the harvest is recapted in age by pain.-Colton. "A beautiful woman is a practical poem, planting tenderness, hope and eloquence in all whom she approaches.-Emerson. Intellect may give keenness of discernment; love alone, gives largeness to the nature, some share in the comprehensiveness of God.—John Hamilton Thom. American Railway Methods in England. American railway methods in England. After vigorously protesting against the introduction of American methods as being unsuitable, if not impracticable, on English railways, British railway managers are evidently profiling by American experience to the extent, at all events, of cheapening the transport of merchandise and minerals by means of more careful loading, the employment of trucks of larger carrying capacity and engines of greater hauling power, and the discontinuance of superfinuous trains, more particularly on branch lines. In many cases, also, they are increasing the carrying capacity of their passenger coaches without adding materially to the cost and weight of the trains, and utilizing motor cars in country districts as feeders for their railways. A good deal still remains to be done in the way of staff reorganization and the compilation of really instructive statistics for the guidance of managers and directors, and but little improvement is apparent yet in the handling of passenger traffic so far as regards the working expenses. But the work of reform has evidently begun, and the period of depression through which we are passing will not have been without its compensations if it serves, as we hope it will, to stimulate and strengthen the reform movement—Birmingham Post. Record Run of a Locomotive. In this country the general method is to run a locomotive for a limited number of years, and then to relegate it to the scrap heap in favor of a more modern type of engine. On the other side, however, the practice is to retain a locomotive in service as long as it will run, irrespective of the developments and improvements that may be incorporated in the progress of time. The result is that upon the English railroads may be seen engines still in hard use which we should consider long past their term of service. Yet no English engine has attained the unique distinction achieved by the locomotive No. 855, "Charles Dickens" upon the London and Northwestern Railway, which has covered close upon 2,100,000 miles in haulage of express trains since 1882.—Scientific American. The Japanese have surprised the world as fighters, but, according to Harold Boley, they are also the most remarkable agricultural nation in the world. They have only 10,000 square miles of arable land. An automobile going fifty miles an hour could skirt this area in eleven hours. Yet it supports an imperial nation; the rising power of the Far East. Experts admit that the scientific skill of Japanese agriculturists is unapproached. "Patient diligence, with knowledge of the chemistry of the soil and the physiology of plants, have yielded results that have astounded the most advanced agriculturists in Western nations." A gold medal has been awarded to Commander Peary by the Societe de Geographie, Paris, in recognition of his work in the north polar regions. The sides and rear of the animal cages at the New York Zoo have been hung with painted scenes, like those on the stage of a theater. The animal lies down in the afternoon for a nap. When it goes to sleep it is in the centre of a vast desert. When it wakes the stage-manager has shifted the scenes, and the beak is lying on the bank of a brook with the mountains in the background. When a Manchurian leopard awoke, the other day, the scruce had been changed to a hillside with a few trees close by. It rubbed its sleepy eyes for a minute, saw the crowd staring at it through the bars, and turned to one of the painted trees and attempted to spring into the branches. Down it came again, scraping its claws through the length of the canvas, and looking very disappointed. For a few minutes the leopard looked at the tree, and then slunk away into a coser. French is Popular. According to the report of the National Union of Teachers, French is the most popular language among students. In other subjects bookkeeping comes first in favor, followed by shorthand, arithmetic and typewriting. There is more Catarach in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it in a serious disease. Preventing Catarach to constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarach Curemanufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and muscular surfaces of the skin. Any disease it causes it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address F. J. Cuzxrr & Co., Toledo, O.

A Newly Found Egyptian Temple. The officials of the Egypt Exhration Fund have discovered within the past few months a temple much older than any previous one known, at Thebes. It is the mortuary chapel of King Mentuhetup Neb-Khern-ra, of the eleventh dynasty, and dates from at least 2500 B. C. Neir Cairo a pyramid temple dating from the fifth dynasty, has been discovered, but in very bad repair. The newly found temple, however, is in a remarkably good state of preservation, and has already yielded results of importance to our knowledge of Egyptian art and architecture, and is expected to throw light on various historical problems still unsolved. Some Census Facts. The French minister of commerce has received an official report of the last census of France, begun in 1901. It shows the population to be 38,911,945, or a gain of only 444,613 in ten years. Comparative tables disclose that there is no other European country in which the population increases so slowly. The percentage of increase in Germany, Great Britain and Russia is almost a third greater than in France for the same period. TILL NOON! The Simple Disk That Keeps One Vigorous and Well Fed, When the doctor takes his own medicine and the grocer eats the food he recommends some confidence comes to the observer. A grocer, of Ossian, Ind., had a practical experience with food worth anyone's attention. He says: "Six years ago I became so weak from stomach and bowel trouble that I was finally compelled to give up all work in my store, and, in fact, all sorts of work for about four years. The last year I was confined to the bed nearly all of the time, and much of the time unable to retain food of any sort on my stomach. My bowels were badly constipated continually, and I lost in weight from 165 pounds down to 88 pounds. "When at the bottom of the ladder I changed treatment entirely and started in on Grape-Nuts and cream for nourishment. I used absolutely nothing but this for about three months. I slowly improved until I got out of bed and began to move about. "I have been improving regularly and now in the past two years have been working about fifteen hours a day in the store and never felt better in my life. "During these two years I have never missed a breakfast of Grape-Nuts and cream, and often have. It two meals a day, but the entire breakfast is always made of Grape-Nuts and cream alone. "Since commencing the use of Grape-Nuts I have never used anything to stimulate the action of the bowels, a thing I had to do for years, but this food keeps me regular and in fine shape, and I am growing stronger and heavier every day." "My customers, naturally, have been interested and I am compelled to answer a great many questions about Grape-Nuts. "Some people would think that a simple dish of Grape-Nuts and cream would not carry one through to the noonday meal, but it will and in the most-vigorous fashion."

London women have discovered an agreeable way of ridding their homes of files and mosquitos. They burn sandalwood in the house, an idea imported from the Orient. In London it is possible to get wood prepared for that purpose. In America it is to be had at almost any Turkish or Japanese importing house. It is then prepared for burning by being first out into small pieces one half inch thick and three inches long. Then it is baked or dried out in a slow oven twenty-four hours. A piece of the wood is put into a metal-urn, lighted and allowed to burn until walt afame, when the flame is extinguished and the redhit ember left to smolder until the wood is consumed and nothing is left but a heap of lime, gray ashes—Chicago Tribune.

Murphy, of Omaha, Neb., was found to have a sliding heart that shifted from side to side. John Morris, of No. 215 Park avenue, Hoboken, lived six years with his heart exposed through a hole in his side. William Wittman of New York had a heart that grew so large that it finally failed to perform its functions. William King of New Bedford, Mass., was found to have two hearts, two sets of ribs and a double breast bone. One heart was on the left side and the other on the right side. Martin Welge of Brooklyn was hit by a trollty car and had his heart displaced. It was suspended by a small strip of tissue and vibrated like a pandulum. W. R. McMurry, of Colorado Springs, Colo., experienced a change of heart, it moving from the left side over to the right side. A tailor of Hartford, Conn., had a marble heart when he died, a crust of calcium salts having formed about the heart and become as hard as stone—New York World. Merits of Hydrocyanic Gas. Until the value of hydrocyanic acid gas as an insecticide is known in severy household, the credulous will still buy patent preparations at extravagant prices, only to find that the posts simply luxurate in them. This gas is often successfully used abroad in hospitals for the destruction of fleas, files, mosquitoes and bedside parasites. The toxic effect of the gas for such purposes is found to be very great, and similar satisfactory results are reported in all experiments. Nothing can be easier in application and nothing more effective has yet been discovered, especially as the gas has no effect whatever on delicate fabrics or polished or plain finished metal surfaces.

If afflicted with Thompson's Eye Water Weak eye, nasal Miss Conner Seely Detroit Amateur Art Association, tells young women what to do to avoid pain and suffering caused by female troubles. "DEAN:MRS. PINKHAM—I can consolently recommend Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to those of my sisters suffering with female weakness, and the troubles which so often befall women. I suffered for months with general weakness, and felt so weary that I had hard work to keep up. I had shooting pains, and was utterly miserable. In my distress I was advised to use Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and it was a red letter day to me when I took the first dose, for at that time my restoration began. In six weeks I was a changed woman, perfectly well in every respect. I felt so elated and happy that I want all women who suffer to get well as I did."—Miss GUILLA GANNON, 859 Jones St., Detroit, Mich., Secretary Amateur Art Association. It is clearly shown in this young Indy's letter that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will certainly cure the sufferings of women; and when one considers that Miss Gannon's letter is only one of the countless hundreds which we are continually publishing in the newspapers of this country, the great virtue of Mrs. Pinkham's medicine must be admitted by all; and for the absolute cure of all kinds of female ills no substitute can possibly take its place. Women should bear this important fact in mind when they go into a drug store, and be sure not to accept anything that is claimed to be "just as good" as Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, for no other medicine for female ills has made so many actual cures. How Another Sufferer Was Cured. "Dear Mrs. Pinkham: I cannot praise your wonderful remedies enough, for they have done me more good than all the doctors I have had. For the last eight years and more I suffered with female troubles, was very weak, could not do my housework, also had nervous prostration. Some days I would remain unconscious for a whole day and night. My neighbors thought I could never recover, but, thanks to your medicine, I now feel like a different woman. "I feel very grateful to you and will recommend Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound to all. It has now been four years since I had the last spell of nervous prostration. I only weighed ninety-eight pounds at that time; now I weigh one hundred and twenty-three. "I consider your Vegetable Compound the finest remedy made. Thanking you many times for the benefit I received from your medicine, I remain, Yours truly, Mrs. J. H. FARMER, 2800 Elliott Ave., St. Louis, Mo." Remember Mrs. Pinkham's advice is free and all sick women are foolish if they do not ask for it. She speaks from the widest experience, and has helped multitudes of women. $5000 FORFEIT if we cannot forthwith produce the original letters and signatures of above testimonials, which will prove their absolute genuineness.
