VOL. XX. Case of Florida Judge is Up Again Before Committee. IMPEACHMENT IS SOUGHT Damaging and Sensational Testimony Given by Witnesses for Prescricion Judge Present at A Washington special says: A sub-committee of the house judiciary committee Monday resumed investigation of the impeachment charges against Judge Charles Swayne, of the northern district of Florida. In the last congress the committee made a majority report recommending the impeachment of Judge Swayne, but minority reports were made against impeachment proceedings by most of the republican members of the committee. Shortly before the adjournment of congress a resolution of impeachment was set for consideration in the house on December 20th, the second week of the re-assembling of the short session, and the judicary committee was instructed to continue the investigation. Representative Palmer, of Pennsylvania, and Clayton, of Alabama, the sub-committee, were present but Representative Gillett, of California, the other member, was unable to attend. The committee, however, decided to go ahead with the investigation and Charles T. Forbes, a clerk in the general land office, was called as a witness. He testified against Judge Swane regarding a timber trespass case in Florida, in which he alleged that Judge Swaine had exacted the fine a second time for the trespassers. J. N. Stockton, of Quincy, Fla., testified that J. N. Stripling told him that he, Stockton, could get anything he wanted in the way of receiverships if he would stop the prosecution against Judge Swayne. This occurred ten years ago. Ellis F. Davis, of Marion, Fla., testified in regard to an attempt to settle the Hoskins contempt case which was pending before Judge Swayne for $500. Judge E. C. Dearborn testified that in 1893 he was a conductor and went with a private car to Delaware and brought Judge Swayne and his family to St. Augustine, Fla., the whole party travelling on passes, the Florida railroad at that time being in the hands of a receiver. Judge Swayne was present at the investigation and frequently conversed with his attorney, former Senator Higgins, of Delaware. After hearing Z. H. B. Floyd, whose testimony threw no new light on the case, the committee adjourned until Tuesday. CONFESSES JUDGMENT. Act of Former Auditor of Macon and Birmingham Road a Surprise. At Macon, Ga., Monday, E. R. Henderson, former auditor of the Macon and Birmingham railroad, confessed judgment in the sum of $47,000 in the civil suit brought against him growing out of his alleged defalcation of that amount from the railroad. He gave as his reason for this step, which allows the road to take judgment against him, that he did not wish to expose his defense in the criminal case which is also against him and will be tried at the present term of court. The step taken by Mr. Henderson came as a great surprise to many of his friends and leaves the impression that he will spring a considerable sensation when the criminal action against him is called. Henderson was jointly indicted with Julian R. Lane, general manager of the road, and both cases will be heard at the present term of court. COLOMBIA SEEKS SETTLEMENT. Wants Financial Affairs With Panama Submitted to Arbitration. A London special says: A movement is on foot to get President Roosevelt to arbitrate the difference between Panama and the corporation of foreign bondholders in regard to the Colombian debt. A meeting with the Colombia committee of the corporation has been summoned to consider the best means of recovery from Panama of a portion of the $10,000,000-paid by the United States in connection with the canal. The Savannah Conferenze at Washington Whorelin Rosevelt is Asked to Urge More Power for Commission. A Washington special saydi interstate transportation matters with specific reference to the fixing of railroad freight rates formed the subject of an important conference at the white house Monday. By previous appointment, Governor Samuel R. Van Sant, of Minnesota; Governor A. B. Cummings, of Iowa; R. P. Bacon, of Milwaukee, secretary of the convention, and R. A. Higole, of New York, an official of the National Lumber Dealers' Association called on the president to urge him to use his influence to secure the enactment of a law which would confer upon the interstate commerce commission power to fix railroad freight rates in the commerce between states. The subject was considered by the president and the delegation at some length, the members of the party presenting their views as individuals and the resolutions adopted by the interstate commerce law convention which was held in St. Louis in October. The convention included delegates from more than three hundred business and commercial bodies throughout the country. It was pointed out to the president that for ten years prior to 1897 the interstate commerce commission had exercised the power to adjust railroad freight rates in order to prevent discriminations, but that since that time, by reason of a decision of the United States supreme court, the power had been denied. It was asked by the delegation that a law be enacted by congress conferring upon the commission the right to adjust rates when they were found to be discriminative in their operation or in violation of the interstate commerce act. The delegation also suggested to the president the desirability, as members viewed the matter, of discussing the subject in his forthcoming message to congress. The president did not indicate, however, what his personal views were, contenting himself with giving a careful hearing of the statements made. FIFTY MEMBERS THE LIMIT. Ordera Issued Curtailing Enlistments In Georgia State Militia. Military companies in Georgia will hereafter be limited to 50 men. No company can have over that number of enlisted men nor less than 35. Adjutant General Sampson W. Harris at Atlanta has issued a very important companies which have recruited to 60 companies which have recruited to 60 men or more will find it necessary to confine themselves to the maximum allowed as soon as the terms of enlistment, of some of the men expire. The idea of the order is to make more uniform all the companies in the state. Then the state has not sufficient equipment to give companies having more than 50 men. LUCKY 8COOP FOR GEORGIA Was Successful Flight for Special Tax Claims Against Railroads. The state of Georgia will get in the neighborhood of $130,000 as a result of the decision of the supreme court of the United States holding that the bonds of the Western of Alabama railway, which are held by the Central of Georgia and the Georgia railroad, are taxable. Comptroller Wright says he has no authority to suspend the collection of taxes, and that under the law he will be required to tax the property from 1889 to the present time, and to add thereto 7 per cent interest for each year. DINNER WAS NOT READY And Zeigler Forthwith Proceeded to Kang Himself. Dissatisfied with his wife's housekeeping, and finally throwing himself into a towering rage because dinner was not ready the moment he arrived home, John P. Zeigler, a furrier of New York City, hanged himself at his home in the Bronx. MISSOURI LOSES, STATE BUILDING Costly Structure at St. Louis World's Fair Reduced to Ashes. The Missouri state building at the St. Louis fair, was destroyed by fire Saturday evening, resulting from the explosion of a hot water heater in the basement. The principal loss is in the contents of the building. The building cost $145,000 and in the building was $75,000 worth of furnishings, the most valuable of which were portraits of all former Missouri governors and supreme court judges. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 26. 1904. Tenement House in Brooklyn, N. Y. Gutted by Flames With Usual Frightful Loss of Life. Smothered before they could reach the reef fire escape in a burning ten- emeht building at 186 Tfbutman street, in the Williamsburg district of Brooklyn, N. Y., twelve persons met death shortly before 2 o'clock Sunday morning. Two entire Italian families, those of Maranis Triolo and Charles Polognito are wiped out, the last living member of each being now in a hospital with no hope of their recovery. They are Charles Polognito, 88 years old; and Tony Triolo, 18 years old; both of whom are terribly burned. Although in the opinion of the coroner, all the dead were suffocated, the bodies were badly burned before they could be taken from the ruins by the firemen. The fire is supposed to have started in the cellar of a grocery store, on the ground floor. The cellar was stored with inflamable material and the flames spread with lightning-like rapidity. All the occupants were asleep at the time, and there was considerable delay in sending in the first alarm. The work of the firemen was greatly hampered for a time by the crowds of frightened Italians who filled the streets. The tenants in nearly all the neighboring buildings dragged their household goods out of the buildings and with them blocked the way of the fire appartatus. All the bodies were found in the rear room of the third floor and it was evident that all had been suffocated in their effort to reach the fire escape at the back of the building. ANOTHER HACK TRAGEDY. Railroad Engineer Killie Woman and Fatally Wounds Himself. News was received in Atlanta Sunday night of a double tragedy at Kenesaw, Ga., on the Western and Atlantic railroad, in which J. R. Butler, of Augusta, an engineer on the Central railroad had shot and killed Mrs. Lola Green, of Atlanta, and mortally wounded himself with the same pistol. The tragedy occurred in a hack in which the couple, with another man and woman, were riding to the depot to take the train for Atlanta. Butler and Mrs. Green are both well known in Atlanta. Last September they were twice arrested, and fined, one time for a fight which Mrs. Greene had with a Mrs. Minnie Wylle about a child. Mrs. Green is from Greenville, S. C., where she is said to have a husband. Butler has a wife and two children living in Augusta. Butler and Mrs. Green and the other couple went to Kznnesaw Saturday night or Sunday morning to spend the day. The identity of the other couple is not yet known. They are said to be under arrest, pending an investigation of the affair. BOLL WEEVIL CONVENTION. Executive Committee Issues an Address to Cotton Growers. The executive committee of the National Cotton Boll Weevil convention, which assembles in Shreveport, La., December 12 to 15 inclusive, has issued an address to the cotton growers of the south. The committee states that the flight of the weevil during the summer of 1904 has been fully fifty miles north and east into territory heretofore uninfested, and indicates a habit that is, beyond the power of individual states to control. The committee says: "Efforts to control the boll weevil have been of untold value to the territory involved, but nevortheless emphasize in no uncertain tones the danger threatening the cotton crop of this country unless immediate, definite and co-operative action is taken by every cotton growing state and every cotton interest to utilize the results of past investigations to further perfect remedial endeavor. The division of opinion and interest in a campaign against the weevil will bring disaster and defeat." AIDING FALL RIVER STRIKERS. Federation of Labor Votes an Assessment of One Per Cent. The delegates to American Federation of Labor, in session at San Francisco, unanimously voted to levy an assessment of one per cent per week for three weeks in aid of the textile workers now out on strike at Fall River, Mass., and to confer on the executive council of the federation authority to levy additional assessments. This will immediately realize $75,000 for the aid of strikers. STATUE CF FREDERICK Unveiled at Washington With Elsa Grato Ceremony—Gift of German Empforder to American People. Halled by a military blare. Of twenty trumpets, the bronze statue of Frederick the Great, presented to the American people by Emperor William, was unveiled at Washington Saturday afternoon by the Baronesz. Speck Von Sternberg, the wife of the German ambassador. The ceremony was marked by great military and official display. The statute was presented on behalf of the emperor by his personal envoy, the German ambassador, who made a brief address. The president made the chief address of the day, and accepted the gift on behalf of the American people. Remarks were made by Lieutenant General Chaffee, chief of staff; Major General Gillespie, of the general staff, master of ceremonies; Lieutenant General Von Lowenfield, one of the special comoners sent to the unveiling of the monument by the American ambassador to Germany. Seldom has the national capital witnessed a more brilliant and distinguished assemblage than was gathered on the grand esplanade of the army war college around the pedestal of the statue. President Roosevelt said in part: "Mr. Ambassador: Through you I wish on behalf of the people of the United States to thank his majesty, the German emperor, and the people of Germany for the gift to the nation which you have just formally delivered to me. I accept it with deep appreciation of the friendly regard which it typifies for the people of this republic both on the part of the emperor and on the part of the German people. I accept it not merely as the statute of one of the half dozen great soldiers of all time, and therefore peculiarly appropriate for placing in this war college, but I accept it as the statute of a great man, whose life was devoted to the service of a great people, and whose deeds hastened the approach of the day when a United Germany should spring into being." The emperor's gift is a replica in bronze of the statue which stands in his palace at Potadam, the original being the work of the sculptor, Professor Uphues. It is upon a pedestal of massive granite. Frederick is standing erect, his right-hand resting on his military staff and he looks sharply ahead. The sculptor has vividly portrayed the powerful vigor which was so strikingly characteristic of the German ruler. NO DATE WAS NAMED. Question of Pension Commissioner Ware's Resignation Beclouded. A Washington dispatch says: A question has been raised as to the date when the resignation of Pension Commissioner Ware takes effect. The resignation was dated November 13th last, and accepted by the president next day. When the matter was brought to Mr. Ware's attention a few days ago, he replied that he, had not known that the question had been raised. "My intention has been," he said, "to remain in office until about the 15th of December, but I am not anxious to continue even till then. My original wish was to get out immediately after the election, and I have only extended the time to meet the wishes of the president." Noted Kentucky Soldier, Statesman and Journalist Goes Hence. At Lexington, Ky., Saturday night Col. W. C. P. Breckenridge died from a stroke of paralysis. The end came peacefully. He had been gradually sinking for twenty-four hours. Colonel. Breckenridge served in the confederate army, being colonel of the Ninth Kentucky cavalry. He was elected as a democrat to the forty-ninth, fifty-first, fifty-second and fifty-third congresses. He was defeated for the fifty-fourth congress, the contest being embittered by personalities that arose in connection with the breach of promise suit brought against him by Madeline Pollard. Mohawk Takes Fire In Long Island Sound and Is Destroyed. While sound down' Long Island sound did one of her regular passages from New York and New London, Conn., the fledgling storm, Mohawk, of the Central, Vormont railroad, took fire off Horton's Point, L. I., and was burnt to the water's edge early Friday. Her crew, except the watchman, was rescued by a passing stenemhlp, None of the valuable cargo was saved. Ruislan Imperial Standard Still Floats Over Fort- Arthur-Frightfully Enormous Loses Sustained. A Che Foo special says: Information has been brought by Chinese that the six days of bombardment and desperate efforts on the part of the besiegers to take the fortress of Port Arthur ceased Wednesday. The Japanese took fort No. 3, but were unable hold it. The Japanese losses are reported to be enormous. Advices reaching Shanghai Friday say that the Japanese assault on Port Arthur continues with unabated vigor and that the Russian defense is dogged and determined. The northern portion of East Keekwan mountain has been captured by the Japanese, who hold it under a furious Russian fire. A fort on the inner line of defenses was destroyed by the explosion of a magazine on November 2. $ ^{*} $ The casualties of the Japanese are reported to be enormous. A belief prevails that the Ruslan warships will make another attempt to escape. Chinese who left Port Dalny Thursday evening report that batches of wounded were passing through Dalny. They report also that during the recent battle fresh Japanese troops were constantly going to the front. It is reported that the Japanese killed or wounded in front of Port Arthur during the last three months approximate forty thousand. There are persistent rumors that the Japanese have occupied the forts of Rihlung mountain and certain forces of the Keekwan mountain group, but well informed Japanese consider these rumors as premature. The Japanese, however, are confident that the end of the Russian occupation of Port Arthur is fast approaching. They admit that they have been disappointed heretofore, but say that their previous hopes never had such a fact-based foundation as those they at present entertain. The fact that General Nogi, commander of the third Japanese army before Port Arthur, has allowed the Associated Press dispatches to leave the front of the base of his operations, is looked upon as strongly indicating the confident spirit of the beslegers. Further tidings of events at Port Arthur are awaited in Che Foo with an intensity of interest greater than any displayed since the beginning of the war. COSTLY BLAZE IN TIFTON. Prominent Business Firms Suffer Loses to Extent of $125,000. Tifton, Ga., was visited by a large fire Friday afternoon, burning one of the best portions of the town. The fire caught in the handsome threestory building of Phillip Slack about 2:30 o'clock Friday afternoon. The first floor was occupied by S. G. Slack & Co., who carried a heavy stock of hardware. One store room was occupied by Dr. George Julian, the second floor occupied by Ensign Lumber Company, Gress, Manufacturing Company, Hettler Lumber Company, J. J. L. Phillips, lumberman; Drs. O. Lea and Chestnutt, dentists; Boatwright & Fullwood, lawyers, and F. S. Harrell, lawyer. The third story was occupied as sleeping apartments by some of the lumbermen and families in the building. The E. P. Bowen building, occupied by the Tifton Drug Company, Tifton telephone exchange, Postal Telegraph Company, C. W. Ethridge, Bowen opera house and E. P. Bowen. The E. H. Tift building was occupied by O'Nell & Parker Kent's furniture stores, C. W. Rickerson, the offices of the secretary of the Georgia Saw Mill Association, and G. W. Warren, were all totally destroyed. Hotel Regent, the beautiful residence of Mayor Timmons, Brown's studio, and the residence of C. B. Holmes, on Love avenue, were also wiped out by the flames. "It is estimated that the loss will not be less than $125,000, partly covered by insurance. Very little was saved by any of the losers." CITIZENS ATTACK JUDGE. Street Scrap Occurs at Columbia, Tenn., as Result of Court Case. A sensational attack was made on Circuit Judge, Holding at Columbia, Tenn., Monday, by Lloyd Cecil, a prominent citizen. The affair occurred on Vraedland street and was witnessed by a number of people. The men were separated before ary great damage was done either. The cause of the trouble originated in trial before Judge Holding last September, in which Cecil was a witness. Haul 'Was Made While Wagon Was on Flat Car En Route to Tarboro, N. C.—Many, Arrests Made But No Clue Found. While en route on a flat car between Greenville and Tarboro, N. C. early Saturday morning, the ticket wagon of the Forepaugh & Sells Brothers' circus was entered and robbed of $30,000. The entrance to the wagon was effected by the use of the regular keys, which had been stolen from the treasurer of the circus. The robbery was not discovered until after the entire circus, which was travelling in three sections over the Atlantic Coast Line, had reached Tarboro. The ticket wagon was on the second section and arrived at Tarboro at 1 o'clock Saturday morning. The first section reached there a half hour earlier and the third at 3 o'clock in the morning. It was 5 o'clock before the robbery had been discovered, and from that time on until late Saturday night, when the last report was received at Norfolk, a search of the people connected with the circus was in progress. The police are holding a man and a woman, both performers, on suspicion of having committed the robbery. Several theories are held by the police and circus people. One of these is that the robbery was committed while the train was in motion and that the money was thrown off the train. Searching parties were sent out along the line between Tarboro and Greenville in an effort to find any trace of the money or of any person who might have left the train with it. Another theory is that the cash has been hidden in Taibomo by the robbers, and innumerable search warrants have been sworn out. Armed with these, the regular police and special detectives searched every place in Taiboro thought likely to conceal the money. There were a score of arrests made during the day among the circus people. All apprehended were taken into custody on suspicion and while in the town lockup their belongings were searched at the show grounds. Absolutely no trace of the money has been found. WATSON OUTLINES POLICY. For Next Four Years He Will Conduct a Viperous Campaign. Between 250 and 300 people from McDuffie, Columbia, Warren and neighboring Georgia counties heard Hon. Thomas E. Watson Saturday at Thomson in a speech of nearly two hours' length in which he outlined his policy and the policy of the People's Party for the next four years. Mr. Watson declared that he proposed to actively campaign in the interest of the People's Party for the next four years and that, those who had abused him would learn that it is a fight to the finish. He declared that they would stand for the income tax, the initiative and referendum, the government ownership of, railroad and telegraph lines, and for the reforms advocated by the party in the recent national campaign. Taft Welcome in New Orleans. Secretary of War Taft and party reached New Orleans Saturday. They were received by a committee of prominent citizens; members of the governor's staff and a military detail of regulars and members of the state guard. Taylor Delk, Slayer of Sheriff Gwynn; Drops Dead in Prison. * Taylor Delk; who, with his son Tom, shot and killed Sheriff Gwynn, of Pike county, Ga., eight years ago, dropped dead at the Georgia prison farm at Milledgeville, Thursday. He was 68 years old. His death occurred while the prison commission was in session at the capitol in Atlanta engaged in hearing a petition for his pardon. Tom Doik was hanged, while the old man was given a life sentence. THAT the Negro is capable of developing worthy and profitable business enterprise is greatly evidenced by the flattering success with which the Wage Earner Loka and Investment Company, of Savannah, is meeting. This institution, though quite young, has gained are markable confidence and support of the people, and its showings are a reflection of credit upon the young men in charge and bespeaks much for the race.—Brunswick Herald. MANY and various were the influences that contributed to the unprecedented personal victory galued by Mr. Roosevelt. But none of the minor influences helped him more than did abuse which the Southern politicians and newspapers heaped upon him for entertaining Booker T. Washington at the White House. The American people will never accept the dictum that a Negro scholar is the inferior of a white ignoramus, that a Negro gentleman is the inferior of a white blackguard, that a man's title to consideration rests on the color of his skin and not on his character and his achievements. The World hopes that this little lesson has finally been thoroughly learned.—New York World. President N. B. Young, of the State Normal School at Tallahassee, is the guest of Rev. Dr. and Mrs. D. W. Gilleslee while in the city. He has with him his little son, left motherless about two months ago. President Young is here, as he is everywhere else in interest of the institution at whose head he stands. The work there is in the best condition and everything is moving along hopefully. The large number of students enrolled has exhausted accommodations and the great thing before him now is to secure more room. The scientific department of the institution has been much improved and is now on a basis that will give good results. A competent and experienced man is at the head of this department. The different counties in the State are well represented in the number of students attending. The absolute usefulness of this institution is becoming realized and felt all over the state and it is believed that the State Board of Education will continue to make such provisions for it as will assure every benefit for which it was established.-Jacksonville Metropolis. D. H. Chamberlain Flayed From the New York Independent Ex-Governor D. H. Chamberlain sends us his pamphlet entitled "Recent Phases of Our So-Called Negro Problem," mostly addressed to Prof. James Bryos, but embracing several late letters of his, chiefly in a Charleston, S. O., paper. On the first page he prints these lines, quoted from that journal: In publishing, this document we commend it to all; but we take leave to commend it especially to some of our esteem-ide Northern contemporaries—namely, the New York Independent, etc. We take this as a challenge. When we first read the letter in the columns of one of the most vigorous exponents of hostility to the Negro race we did not feel it necessary to expose its weakness, but now that it is republished for wider circulation, and evidently just now with political intent, for the sake of its attack on President Roosevelt, we will give a few words to its main propositions. Governor Chamberlain was a captain of colored troops in the Civil War, settled on a plantation in South Carolina, became Republican Governor of the State in Re-construction times, was forcibly driven out of office as a Carpet-bagger, and has since taken a more hopeless view of the Southern Negro than in his ardent youth, having, as he says, at 60 or 70 reversed the opinions he held at 30 or 40. Possibly in these years he has learned some things that are not true. Wordsworth forgot the chivalry of his youthful sonnets and became the "Lost Leader." Still bidding crouch while the rest did Governor Chamberlain's whole discussion is based on the assumption that there is a serious difference between the two races in "original capacity," so that "the Negro is capable of being raised by any education to an equality with the white man" in his hopeless, "ineradicable" "race inferiority." For this assumption there is no evidence whatever in ethnology or comparative psychology. It is simply asserted, against the evidence of equal physical size and strength, and against the evidence of numerous cases where, in these few years, education has been allowed to do its work. Equally based on Governor Chamberlain's history. The Negroes he says were forcibly transplanted" to these shores. Not at all. They have grown up here, native born. It was their ancestors that were forcibly brought here, at the same time that multitudes of our white ancestors were forcibly transplanted here, white slaves sold to service in Virginia and Massachusetts. But he says again: My study does not disclose another instance anywhere of the emancipation from chattel slavery of a people or race without exertion on the part of the enslaved people or race. Till the actual and complete triumph of the armies of the Union, the Negro race of the United States, which was in slavery, lifted no single hand, struck no single blow, for its own freedom. The significance of this fact is tremendous an indication of character and capacity. Possibly this captain of Negro troops thought differently forty years ago. Then he might have excused unarmed Negroes from not rising in insurrection. People in ornal subjection never rise when they can get no arms; they only run away. So Slatin Boy submitted to slavery under a Negro master. But the fact is that the Governor's "study" needs to be enlarged. As a boy he probably read the story of a nation of slaves led out of Egypt, emancipated without striking a single blow for freedom, and in just the time now past since Negro emancipation they were able to conquer Canaan. Then came another peried when they were carried captive, made slaves, and were then returned by Persian deliverers without stalking a blow, and a very decent people they made, our Master and his Twelve from the stock. Again they were tarribly oppressed by every nation in Europe, and again were freed without a blow by the Rothschilds and Jacob Schiffs. Will Governor Chamberlain mention as many parallel cases where white "chattel slaves" have secured their freedom by fighting? We will not stop to consider what Governor Chamberlain says of the impossibility of "blending the two races by intermarriage." Marriage is a matter with which we do not middle—every man to his taste—but we do know that the "blending" is easy enough. A much more serious difference which we have with Governor Chamberlain concern his statement that we must "undo, as far as possible, what we have heretofore done for the Negro since his emancipation—namely, the inspiring in him the hope or dream of sharing with the white race a social or political equality." He says: These things are impossibilities within With social equality we have no more to do than with marriage, as that goes by personal favor; but political equality is not impossible. One does not need to go to Cuba to see that it is possible, for it is a fact, no further off than Philadelphia, with its seventy thousand Negroes, or Maryland as well. Governor Chamberlain declares—and no one should know better than he, for he was Governor of South Carolina at the time and did his best to stem the corruption—that the sudden gift of political equality to the Negro "resulted directly in shocking and unbearable misgovernment whereafter the Negro race predominated"—that is, in South Carolina and Mississippi, and prehaps Lousiana. True and it was to be expected where intelligent white people all sulked. Things were different in Georgia and North Carolina. Governor Chamberlain proceeds to palliate, and seems to justify lynching for assaults by Negro on white women. A reply to this it is not worth while to make, but it is worth while to say that the remedy he proposes—namely, a great moral crusade among the Negroes against the particular crime of rape—would be more likely to suggest than to prevent the crime. It is not a specially Negro crime. There are as many cases of this crime reported committed in New York State by white men as by Negroes in all South. Having thus briefly expressed our difference with Governor Chamberlain as to his facts, we are compelled to agree with him that the proposal to protect Negro political rights in the Southern States by Congressional legislation is quite futile. It will be impossible to enact a constitutional law that will really limit the representation of the States that have shut out the Negro vote. It may be impossible however to compel here and there a name to be put on the register but this will accomplish little. But this is about the limit of our acceptance of Governor Chamberlain's conclusions. He condemns President Roosevelt for asking Mr. Washington to stop to lunch, because of "the feeling universal, or nearly so, among the white people of the South." But what of that? President Roosevelt is no slave of of the Southern "feeling." He can take his choice between Southern feeling and Northern feeling. Governor Chamberlain lives, summers, in West Brookfield, Mass., and very few respectable people in Massachusetts would object to sitting at table with Mr. Washington. Massachusetts "feeling" is as well worth following as that of South Carolina. Governor Chamberlain says that however the President may have thought it right to sit at table with Mr. Washington "the principle laid down by the Apostle Paul would have restrained him from this act." Indeed! Not at all. That principle is that of self-denial for the sake of not leading a weak brother into sin. But our Southern friends will not thank Governor Chambarlain for classing them with "weak brothers." We do not so regard them. Paul asserted another principle, that of liberty, in the case of the social and religious prejudices of the Jews against the Gentiles, "to whom we gave place in the way of subjection, no not for an hour." We are not acquainted with Dr. Orum and cannot, thus, deny what Governor Chamberlain says as to his competency to ful a $1,200 position as Collector of the port of Charleston. The presumption is that he is competent. But this we must speak of, Governor Chamberlain's assertion as to the President's motives: They could have been no other than the hope and determination to gain for himself the support of the Negro race in South Carolina, through their delegates in the next National Republican Convention, in his candidacy for nomination for our next President. His work has been effective in that end . . . it is ignoble in its motives. Such a charge is unworthy of a gentleman of- Governor Chamberlain's character. Sufficient other reason has been given and should have been believed rather than that such an "Ignoble" motive should have been attributed to an honored and honest man. We will not stop to discuss Governor Chamberlain's treatment of the Indianola case. Suffice it to say that the people of Indianola compelled the resignation of a competent postmistress solely because she was colored, and refused to receive her back. Nor is the suppression of the post office such a tyrannous or unparalleled act as is represented. Governor Chamberlain in one breath says that we cannot indict a whole community, and in the next asks why the Federal courts did not punish those who compelled her resignation. Closing the post office was the only way those who would not have a postmaster. Governor Chamberlain's conclusion is that the old-fashioned virtues of patience, kindness and fair dealing "exhibited toward the Negro" with "the granting of the ordinary civil right," "will do more, far more, than schools and college, than churches or missions, to roll back the tide of bitterness and violence." It sound like saying: Treat the dependent race patiently and kindly, as you would your horse or your dog, and don't bother to help it raise two far for "his lot is and will be to serve. I expect no more." We would say to the Negro race. Get your schools, colleges and churches; get your farms and your shops; acquire character and education and wealth; be patient, but especially patient in persistently, yet prudently, demanding and exercising your political and civil rights. Expect to be recognizd as other citizens are recognized, but do not sulk when not recognized; accept office when it comes to you, but do not hanker after it or demand it; accept social favors, but do not ask them. And what we say unto you we say unto the white men just the same. College~ Dots. President Wright returned Saturday evening from Jacksonville where he delivered an address on Friday night to the citizens of that progressive town. Thanksgiving exercise was conducted in the Chapel at 11 o'clock. Music was furnished by College choir and the Thanksgiving address by Vice-President Suggs. Prof. Work and Davis are training to retrieve their lost honors at tennis. This makes the second time that they have suffered the defeat of Profs. Gadaden and Robinson. Mr. Emanuel Houstun an alumnus of the Georgia State Industrial College of Atlanta University delivered an interesting address on Sunday afternoon on the development of the Mohammedism. The Collegians are always glad to see and hear their former students. Cheap Rates Via Central of Georgia.

Weakly children should be out of doors as much as possible during the sunny hours of the day. Sunlight and air are great healthgiving factors. Good milk and plenty of it is another important point, and plenty of sleep and woolen under clothing are essentials. Children may inherit a delicate constitution from their parents, but a healthy childhood often do much to remedy this. It is very unwise to encourage weakly children to walk at an early age. They should be kept back rather than brought forward. ARRANGEMENT OF COLORS. Some rather curious manifestations of colors will be much favored this season, as well as shaded effects. One, a large sized Directoire hat, covered with deep Russia leather red velvet, is trimmed with shades of brownish pink. The velvet is cut to shape, and laid on plain over the brim and the high, narrow crown with the forward tilt. Extremely rich, soft satin ribbon, showing those shades of pink melting into each other, is arranged in two puffed rosettes on either side of the horseshoe opening, then carried from thence in a folded band, twice around the crown to finish in larger rosettes, one placed on the edge almost in front, and the other rather lower down on the opposite side. In front also is a large rose, the outer petals of which are made of deep brownish pink velvet, and the inner of the lighter shade of satin. FADS FOR WOMEN. By the way there is a new pocketbook out which looks exactly like a big envelope. The flap fastens with a snook jewel, and the pocketbook is carried swinging from a gold chain, which is supposed to be slipped over the wrist. When one realizes what the average woman's pocketbook holds in the way of keys, samples, hair pins and a powder puff, this very flat pocketbook does not seem exactly practical. However, it is something new. The card case of Egyptian leather is another fad of the moment. It is light tan in color with printed Egyptian figures and designs in deep brown. It is surely odd enough to be the vogue for a while, and a pleasant change from things Japanese, which we have been surfelted with ever since the beginning of the Japanese-Russian War. - Woman's Home Companion. CARE OF CHILDREN'S TEETH. CARE OF CHILDREN'S TEETH. The mistaken idea that a child's first or milk teeth need not be cared for entails no, end of misery on the child and inspires a feeling of repulsion in all sensitive beholders. Scrupulous care of the teeth should be begun from the day of their development in full, and the child taught as early as possible to care for them itself under the supervision of nurse or mother. Get a small and not too stiff brush, use a good prepared chalk or myth and camphor and have the teeth brushed morning and night. A spool of silk dental floss is also essential and should be cut in six-inch lengths as most convenient to use, this should be drawn between the teeth to remove any articles which the brush cannot dislodge; then rinse the mouth thoroughly with tepid water in which a pinch of bleachingate of soda has been dissolved. Have all cavities filled as soon as discovered. Never rely upon cursory home examinations, but take the child to a skillful dentist to have repairs made—Indiana Farmer. STOCKS OF LACE INSERTIONS STOCKS OF LACE INSERTIONS. There is a pretty stock which is youthful and always becoming. It is made of insertion, through which ribbons are run. The band is just wide enough and just long enough for the neck, and the ribbons are run through it and tied at the back. Three or four narrow ribbons are very neat if knotted in little bows at the back of the neck, just under the low collarure. This sort of stock can be worn with any dress. And there is another stock that is quite as easy to make, and it is one that has been worn a great deal this summer. It is made by taking a strip of lace insertion eighteen inches long and finishing it with little hooks and eyes for the back of the neck. At the front there are fastened two tabs, side by side. The tabs are made by sewing lace medallions together. Take three medallions and attach them in such a way as to make two tags. Sew them to the neck, so that they hang neatly over the bust. This gives something of the stole effect and is very becoming. The julle choux are now made smaller and rounder, so that they look like a little ball of cloud. They are light, airy and very becoming. — Brooklyn Eagle. THE ELDERLY WOMAN'S DRESS. Mothers of families are too apt to consider that their appearance is of small importance. The girls, of course, they wish to have as pretty clothes as they can afford to give them, but, say they, "Who will notice what I wear?" So they are careless about the neatness of their shoes, the fit of their gloves, the fineness of their handkerchiefs, etc., and present anything but a dalty and smart appearance. Now all this is a mistake, and it is a worse mistake for the matron than it is for the spinster, for it is likely to lessen the happiness of those whom she loves best. When we look at a fresh young girl we often notice her likeness to her mother, and when we see the mother dowdy and draggled a vision comes before us of what the daughter will be at the same age, and the vision is unpleasing enough to scare off any man who was just unwakening to a sense of her charms. The vision may be prophetic or hot, but all the same it has influence, and therefore it is wrong of the mother not to be as well dressed as she can rightly afford to be for her children's sake. That she will thus also give pleasure to her husband is a consideration which should make the trouble entailed seem well worth while.—New Haven Register THE ENGAGED GIRL. Don't set your lover on a pedestal or imagine him to be endowed with great moral and intellectual qualities. He may not be able to live "up to it," says Max O'Rell. Don't write to him sentimental letters, for he may keep them, show them or carelessly leave them open about his room. Tell him how you feel toward him, but never write it down. Don't drag his name in every sentence which you utter. Don't play constantly with your engagement ring or display it unduly. Don't assume a superior air or snub girls who are not in the same blissful state as you are. Remember that you are not the only girl in the world who has been engaged. It is nothing to boast of. There are many women who are sorry that they were once engaged. You may be one of these. No; don't boast about your engagement. You may its well boost that you are a good sailor while the boat is under a serene sky and on a smooth sea. Wait till the sea gets rough. Then, and then only, will you know whether you are a good sailor or not. "Engaged" life is no rehearsal of married life. Don't make your lover the sun of your life, the centre of all your actions, for he is but human and may prove sadly disappointing. Don't lavish your attention on him to the exclusion of all other ties. Don't exhaust your vocabulary. Keep something nice to tell him after the wedding, something which he has not heard before. A JEWELRY REVIVAL Old-fashioned garnets, cross-shaped pendant, a revival of the brooch! The jeweler's prospectus is full of surprises this year. It is of much keener interest to the woman of moderate means than is usually the case, because of the latent possibilities of heliotrope treasures. She whose jewel box boasts a set of garnets is more fortunate than her wealthier sister with a fortune in diamonds. The quaint pieces our foremothers wore are being revived in connection with the quaint stones, says the Philadelphia North American. The breastplants are not those of ten or fifteen years ago, but antique affairs such as are discoverable in wartime prints and in collections. The pendant cross dates back to the same period, and those of us who have not ourselves worn it will remember our mothers or grandmothers doing so. Old-fashioned camels are also being utilized for the highly favored neck ornament and as mountings for hair combs—also a relic of the past. The crosses come in several varieties, plain articles in gold or silver, especially silver, being the favorites. Russian amamel, in Maltese shape and gun metal, plain or mounted with stone, are also shown. It is worth while examining your jewel case, fair render. It may yield something forty or fifty years old which is the approved of Dame Fashion, or which could be made so with very slight expense. BITS ABOUT DRESSES. Plum and mulberry are new shades in red.' Dress trimmings will be brighter this year than formerly. While brown is a popular color for sults, blue is a staple color. Silk lined gowns will be lined with a lighter shade of the color of the gown. At last millinery attempts in fur are distinguished by real beauty and trimness. Shades of the same color will be used together more than will contrasting shades. The round full skirts require stiffening. Many of these have crinoline to a point above the knees. Lovely blouses may be evolved from a certain creamy silk-and-wool figured fabric shown for that purpose. Exceedingly elegant gowns will be in good taste if made in the gray shades. The cheaper grays are not good. The new bright cloth and velvet will be used with sombre suits and gowns. They are especially good as vests, cuffs and revers. The length of the round skirt will be either ankle length or just touching the floor. The ankle length will be worn more than at first seems likely, being employed in the reception gown as well as in the street gown. Copper shades are popular and will be combined with colors which seem impossible in such combination. It takes an artist to use colors with effect. Red is about the only one of the fashionable shades with which copper tints will not be used. THE GUARANTY AID AND RELIEF SOCIETY L. E. WILLIAMS, President, P. E. WARD PERKY, Vice-Pres. W. S.

At the risk of going counter to certain famous household economists I am forced, after mature consideration, to put down $4 a week apiece as the average amount on which a family can be really well fed. Even with this they will not be given mushrooms and sweetbreads, squab, chickens and spring ducklings, fruit out of season and game in season. They can live as I have said the large majority of housekeepers of moderate means in cities and large towns desire to live. If I omit those whose homes are in the country, it is because the latter, by reason of such rural adjuncts as milk, cream, butter, eggs, fruit, vegetables, ice, cannot be reckoned in the class of which we are speaking. Such a city housekeeper will give her family of four oranges or bananas or some stewed fruit for breakfast in winter. In summer she will plan for melons or berries for this meal, but she will feel that she must make one melon do for two persons, and that a quart of berries is a liberal allowance for four. If with the latter cream is eaten, she will tilt this, or that she offers with the cereal, with a little milk, and will encourage herself in the idea that fruit is more wholesome without cream. 'She will also have to pinch a little in some other quarter to make up for the fact that the cost of the majority of summer fruits amounts to more than the winter oranges or apples. A MAN'S RULE FOR COFFEE. "The coffee at any breakfast table," says a veteran New York hotel manager, "is one of the most important elements of a satisfactory meal. "Coffee should never be decanted. The pot must be fitted with a cover that lifts off, and not one which swings back. It must also have a cover for the spout. Make your own filter from a piece of not too fine white flannel sewn into a bag terminating in a point, which must be long enough to reach half way down the pot and wide enough to fit snugly over the top. Have your coffee '(two-thirds Java, one-third Mocha, or any mixture you prefer) ground as fine powder, says Good Housekeeping. It will require all your blandishment to get your grocer to do this, but the secret of the excellence of this way of making coffee depends upon the fineness with which it is ground. Fill your pot with boiling water to heat it—pour it out, fit on the flannel bag, put in a heaping teaspoon for each person, and 'one for the pot,' and pour on one large cup of boiling water for each spoonful of coffee. The water must be absolutely boiling and it must be poured slowly. Let it stand for several minutes on the back of the range; lift out the bag and send it to the table. I will not say 'have hot milk.' For the perfect coffee you must have thick, sweet, rich cream; put in the sugar, then the cream, fill up the cup from the steaming vessel and you have that 'coffee which makes the politician wise.'" An impartial ukase recently issued in Russia puts women who wish to practise medicine on the same footing as men, says the Youth's Companion. The ukase entitles women both to a license to practice and to the degree of Doctor of Medicine. Women who offer a diploma from a foreign university may be admitted at once to the Russian state examination. If women attending the institute have neither home or relatives in St. Petersburg, they are required to live in a hostel specially established for the purpose. No. 468 WEST BROAD ST., SAVANNAH, GA. ... Doing Business in the United States.... ANTIDOTE OF SNAKE VENOM. The Efficacy of Potassium Perman- nents Dosed by Experiment. Nearly forty years ago Fayerer discovered that cobra venom which had been treated with potassium permanganate was harmless. This fact suggested to him the possibility of warding off the effects of the blites of venomous snakes by the subcutaneous injections of potassium permanganate into the tissue around the bite; his experiments however failed to fulfill his hopes in this direction. Within a very short time Sir Lauder Brunton has devised an inexpensive instrument which may be readily carried in one's pocket, and which has none of the disadvantages of the hypodermic syringe. The instrument consists of a small sharp-polished blade set into a hollow wooden handle and provided with a wooden cap. In the hollow handle is placed a small quantity of the crystals of potassium permanganate and the cavity closed with a wooden cap. The method of treatment is to tie a loose band around the limb between the wounds and the trunk, and insert a stick, and twist the ligature up tight, thereby slackening or stopping the circulation in the wounded member. The region of the bite is then cut open with the knife-blade and the crystals of permanganate rubbed in. Dr. Rogers has cured the efficacy of this method of treatment. In the first place it was discovered that potassium permanganate not only destroyed the toxicity of cobra venom, but also that of the rattlesnake, the colubrine snake, two of the true vipers, and one of the polsonous water snakes of India. Thus every venom tried was rendered harmless by being mixed with the permanganate, and the insumpan seems justified that this substance destroys the polsonous property of all snake venome. Experiments on rabbits showed that this animal, which is remarkably sensitive to snake bites, could not be kept alive by means of the permanganate treatment, although the period of life was prolonged. Experiments on cats, which more nearly resemble human beings in the solid nature of their tissues, and in their susceptibility to snake poisoning, gave the grafting result of keeping five out of six cats alive even when given many times the lethal dose of cobra venom, whereas the cats not receiving the potassium permanganate died in every case. The same results were obtained with the venom of Dabola, one of the vipers. The one failure in each set of experiments seemed to be due to faulty application of the treatment rather than to the inefficiency of the permanganate. The matter is to be investigated further, and there is good ground to hope that many lives may be saved by the use of this simple treatment—Collier's Weekly. The available farm land in Indian Territory is estimated at fifteen million acres. These figures are taken from the records of the Dawes commission. Of this 15 per cent. was in cultivation last year. There are almost two million acres of land where pine is found. in commercial quantities, and there is an abundance of hard woods of all kinds. The latest statistics obtainable give the value of farm animals at $55,000,000. The per cent. of the population engaged in agriculture is exceeded in only three States—Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Arkansas. THE MOST SAFE. SURE AND RELIABLE. EVERY SUNDAY. $1.25 Round Trip.

The wind has waned late, And gardens, where the last late flowers Droop in the chilly air; Ex yet the little twinkling stars Among the clouds are born, The new moon in the evening sky; Displays her carving horn.

Delicious Drinks and Dainty Dishes AN UNEXPECTED THANKSGIVING By EDWARD JONAS WEEK from to-day will be Thanksgiving," said Clarence Martin to his friend, Frank Wheeler, as they were walking home from school, frank, though but twelve years of age, had to help support his widowed mother and his two sisters, Bell and Edith. He knew there was no fun for him on Thanksgiving, so he answered with a deep sigh, "Yes, Thanksgiving will be here almost too soon. "Almost too soon!" cried Clarence at the top of his voice. "Why, I can't wait till it comes. My uncle and aunt are coming to visit us, and we will have a very good time. But-I must leave you now. Don't forget the contest," and with a cheerful good-bye, the boys parted. That night both Clarence and Frank were busily bending over their books, for the teacher had promised to give a fine prize to the boy who could answer all the questions in the geographical contest. "I can't learn this," sighed Clarence. "But you must try, my son," answered his mother, "and you will surely succeed." Clarence and Frank were the best pupils in the school, and they knew the prize would belong either to one or the other. The day of the contest came, and all were ready to begin. At the end it was found that the prize belonged to Frank Wheeler, and the principal handed him a $3, gold piece, with many congratulations. For the first time Clarence was fearful, and he determined to avenge himself. As Thanksgiving was drawing near he thought this a good time to play a joke. He was walking down the street the afternoon of the contest, when he met his chum, James Elburn, and, telling him of his plan, begged him to meet him on the corner that evening. Clarence came home that afternoon feeling ill at ease. His restlessness did not escape unnoticed by his sister Evelyn; who was watching him closely, and when he said he was going out that evening she followed him. Clarence went straight to the corner, where he met James. "Well," said the latter, "are you ready to tell me your plan?" "Yes," answered Clarence, "but you had better come up in our barn." "You know," he began, "that Frank has won the prize, when I wanted it so much." "Well, what of it? What has that to do with fun?" questioned James. "I will tell you," answered Clarence. "We will fill, bugs and, other things with stones and sand, pack them in a basket, put them on Frank's doorstep and watch the fun." "Capital!" shouted James. "Hush!" some one will hear you," said Clarence. But he was already overheard by Evelyn, and she in her mind was forming a plan. "To-morrow night," continued Clarence, "we will meet here and fill the bags so all will be ready. But now we "HE WAS ALREADY OVERHEARD." must be going, and so they parted. In his own home Frank Wheeler was exceedingly happy, for now, he thought, through his good fortune, they could have a Thanksgiving dinner. But, after considering that they all needed clothes, it was decided that his money should be spent in another way. Frank felt disappointed about it, but his spirits kept up bravely and A Bebold, the grain is harvested, The birds have corn-easy, The corn is stelled, the cats are throated, It is Thanksgiving Day; And yonded, high above the trees, And meadows crisped and sore, The Reaper hangs His sickle up Until another year. Drinks My Dishes THANKSGIVING he waited patiently, thinking that, perhaps, he could get extra work. He tried all over, but never in all the days that passed could he find any, so Thanksgiving, must pass without the hoped for dinner. The night before the plan had been partly carried out Evelyn Martin stealthily crept from the house and hurried to the barn. She carried various parcels in her arms and seemed frightened less she might be seen. "I will baffle them," she said to herself. "They shall not play such mean tricks on a poor family," and she hurriedly took the bags from the large basket, and put others in their places. MAKIN A When she finished she stole back to the house. She noticed Clarence smile mischievously, and thought that he would not see "the fun." All that day Frank Wheeler continued his search for work, but had been sadly disappointed. "Be'of good cheer, my boy," said his mother, "and trust in God. He will surely help us." "Mamma," said little Bill, "are we going to have turkey and pumpkin pie, like other people?" This wistful query pierced Frank's tender heart, and he thought, "If I only had some money!" Then he broke down completely. "Don't take it so hard," said his mother, and she coaxed a smile to his lips; but the boy's heart was heavy with discouragement. "The great day at last!" exclaimed Clarence Martin, as he thought of his friend. That night two boys stole to the barn and carried the huge basket into the street. They went directly to the Wheeler cottage, and, rapping loudly, set their burden on the steps and hid near the window. The knock was soon answered by Mrs. Wheeler, who exclaimed, "Clarencel come and see this—a large basket of goodies!" The hearts of the boys under the window gave a sting of remorse. But what was their astonishment when they heard the words, "Turkey, pumpkin pie, apples and pudding," called MAKING THE CHOICE. out by Frank. They could not believe their cars. At last Martin whispered, "Some one must have heard us, for I thought I heard a step that night in the barn." And both boys returned home, each secretly pleased that their plan had THE PSYCHOLOGICAL MOMENT. miscarried, and that there was joy in the little cottage instead of disappointment and indignation.-Detroit Free Press.

Inside, the grand church organ peals And sweet-voiced choir boys sang; Broadcloth and Satin lolled at ease, While belly music rang. Outside, the wind blew bitter cold, A lonely street walt stood. Raised by the door, with wondering eyes, In need of clothes and food. The preacher in his robes of white Gave thanks in long-drawn prayer; Broadcloth and Satin bowed their heads- Gave thanks, each, for his share.

McEachern took along his rifle, and not until he was miles from camp did he recall that if was loaded only with duckshot—nile to a shell, which would not much more than tickle a bear in case he should meet such game, but rather than walk back to camp he kept on, being a half mile ahead of Russell, who is a slow traveler and also deaf as a post. When McEachern came in sight of the first trap he saw a big bear in it, and ran up to finish the animal, but as he was about to fire, another bear, bigger than the one in the trap, bounced out of the bushes and made straight for him. There was no time to think whether the duck shot would stop the bear or only make him madder, and McEachern let drive. There was a double charge of powder behind those duck shot, and the old rifle kicked McEachern head over heels. HOICE.

If the bear was mad at first, he was madder when the shot dug into him, and after a moment's hesitation he renewed his rush upon the trapper, while the bear in the trap growled encouragement. McEachern was in no trim just then to light ugly bears, and he yelled to Russell to come along and help, forgetting that Russell, who could not have heard him at ten yards, was half a mile back on the path. McEachern then did the only thing he could do—ran for it. The bear followed and showed much the greater speed, so that escape in flight was out of the question. Then, for about ten minutes, man and bear played tag among the trees, with no advantage on either side until McEachern tripped on a root and fell. The bear, close up, stumbled on the same root and went half down. McEachern in his excitement lost his feet again as quickly as he had risen and fell plump across the bear. Before he had time to jump up the bear was up and away, with snarls of rage and surprise. McEachern mechanically held on tight, with both hands gripped firmly into the thick fur of the bear. When the bear tried to turn his head McEachern took a hold on the stubby cars to prevent this. Over ridges and down hollows they went, occasionally stumbling over stumps and fallen trees, and then they came to a deserted "ram-down"—another name for the toboggan of the woods. It was a logging road as steep as the roof of a house and down it the bear plunged. It looked like sure death, for the bear would certainly take a tumble somewhere between the top and the bottom, and then McEachern if not killed in the crash, would he turn to bits. Suddenly it occurred to McEachern that he had in his pocket a long hunting knife, presented to him a few weeks ago by a city sport, and quickly he fished it out, opening the blade with his teeth. They were now half way down the slope, and there was no time to lose. Raising the knife at arm's length, McEachern plunged it into the bear's neck to the handle. A fierce snarl, a gushing of hot blood and a slight slackening of speed were the immediate results. Another stab, and another, and the mad race was over. The bear stumbled, halted, and, with muffled growls, went headlong into the ditch at the roadside. McEachern rolled off on the safe side and got behind a tree. The bear, although mortally hurt, presently came on to renew the battle. It was not safe to get near enough to use the knife again. A big birch sled stake lay near by, and McEachern grabbed it. When the bear came within range, McEachern put all his strength into the swing of the stake. The birch landed on the bear's nose with a crack like the snapping of a broomstick, and that ended the fight, for down went the big fellow, groggy, and another slash with the knife settled him. Then he skinned him. At 4 o'clock the next morning McEachern reached camp and gave the door a kick fit to take it off the hinges. "Who's there—and is it you, John?" came sleply from within. "Yes, it's me, and no thanks to ye," replied the bear rider. "Let down the bar and build up a fire, or ye'll be having a corpse on yere hands from the want to grub." The bar was let down and in strode, John McEachern, with the glistening black bearskin, all stained with red, on his shoulder. He threw a bloody bundle at Russell. "Cook a good bit of that," commanded he, "and tell me what came of ye, and didn't ye mind losing 'ye're pardner?" "I waked myself lame lookin' for ye," said Russell. "I thought ye skipped." John McEachern only grunted. Then he ate two pounds of the bear steak. THANKSGIVING DINNER Euc points on half shell. Cream of tomato soup. Salted almonds. Olives. Hoast turkey. Cranberry sauce. Currant jelly. Mashed potatoes. Glazed sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes. Chestnut sauce, Mayonnaise, Celery salad, Olives, Cranberry Jelly, Bane Mange. Paradise pudding. Plum pudding. Cafe au lait.

Mix this dressing thoroughly, and put an equal portion in each glass, together with five small raw oysters. Both oysters and dressing must be as cold as possible. A Threefold Significance. In olden times the Thanksgiving celebration had a threefold significance—the spetitive, festal and religious phases. Except in obscure corners of New England the Thanksgiving eve raffle of turkeys, geese, ducks and chickens is no longer a part of the annual program. During these raffles the shrewd Yankee "banker" never lost an opportunity to unload tough birds when the gambling fever was at its height. But if we have no longer the rattle as a Thanksgiving accompaniment we still have its legitimate successor—the very exciting and diverting game of keno. This game is carried on in secluded back rooms of many prominent places during the festal season, when it is the height of the "dead game sport's" ambition to win a Thanksgiving turkey; and he will often spend the price of numerous turkeys for the satisfaction of winning one. Like the rattle, the old time choosing matches are also almost extinct, though they still obtain in some sections of the country, notably the far West. IVE us the bowl of jump and milk By homepurs beauty poured. What must we do and what brings the two What calls back the joy Like the rich pumpkin pie? HOLT the wilderness beyond Caucongomac Lake, in Maine, comes the story of how John McEarther rode a bear two miles and came back with brunel's SNATCHED FROM THE PAULS. Facing danger to save life is always herloe, but to save life as a certain brakeman lately did it requires not only bravery, but rapid and intelligent action. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat prints a thrilling account of an adventure on the Missouri Pacific Railroad. The train was late and heavily loaded, and on a long down grade the engineer, to make up for lost time, "turned her loose," and the cars flew over the hill at a tremendous, speed. About half-way down the grade Brakeman Rosenbrook's pline went out, and he went forward to the locomotive to get a light. On that little incident hung the life of a two-year-old baby. As the brakeman entered the cab the engineer said to the fireman: "What's on the track ahead, Bill?" "Looks like a man sitting on the rail," answered Bill. "Guess he'll move when we whistle for the crossing." The heavy train rushed on, and a moment later the whistle sounded. Then the bundle moved, but instead of getting off the track, it stepped right between the rails and calmly waited. "It's a baby!" groomed the engineer, as he shut off steam and called for brakes. But no power could stop that train in that short distance. The fireman was speechless; the engineer, with gray face and starling eyes, was sounding his whistle, hoping to scare the infant from the track. Suddenly the window of the cab was thrown open, and Brakeman Rosenbrook crept out and along the narrow running-board. Clinging to the handrail with one hand, he made his way along the side of the swaying locomotive, and in a moment had reached the pilot. The shrill danger-signal, sounding continuously, brought a woman to the door of a small farmhouse near the track. With a scream she started toward her baby. But only the one grab which Rosenbrook would have time to make stood between the child and death; and the shock of that grab might throw the man from the pilot and cost him his own life. "When within a few yards of the little girl," says the brakeman, "I saw her lift her face and look at me. Her blue eyes were troubled. Something was wrong, but she did not know what it was." The moment arrived. The locomotive was upon the child, when, with one grasp, Rosenbrook swept the little girl from her feet and jerked her clear of the track. So great was the shock that the man was thrown backward against the pilot. With a great effort he steadled himself and held on to Alice. A hundred yards farther on the heavy train came to a standstill, and Rosenbrook stepped from the pilot. The baby had not uttered a cry, but when the rescuer stood on firm ground she whispered: "My mamma wants me." At the same moment the mother rushed up and clasped the little girl to her heart. The engineer and conductor came running forward and shock Rosenbrook's hands, incoherently murmuring all sorts of promises about "reporting to headquarters" and "promotions." But Rosenbrook simply begged a match, lighted his pipe, climbed to the top of the train and signaled to go ahead. FEAT OF FOOTBALL PLAYER. A party of college men were discussing the football season at the University Club, when one who had just returned from a visit to St. Paul recounted a story now current in the Twin Cities that has to do with "Pudge" Hefflinger, the giant guard of the Yale teams of a few years ago. Hefflinger was driving along Hennepin avenue, Minneapolis, when he saw a runaway team with only a woman in the carriage coming down the street. Hefflinger drove his horse to the curb, handed the reins to a passer-by, turned his trousers legs well above the tops of his shoes, and made ready to stop the runaway. Getting a good bit of speed on as he ran in the direction in which the team was headed, he was able to make a "flying tackle" about the neck of the frightened horse, and held on like grim death until he had been dragged about half a block. Then the runaway was ready to give it up, as the grip and the 276 pounds or so of the old football giant was too much for him. "Pudge" brushed the dust from his clothing, turned down his trousers legs, handed the reins of the now thoroughly quieted horse to the woman, and went back to his own team. "I'm sadly out of practice," quietly remarked Heffellinger to the man who had charged of his horse, for that's the first time anything ever gained so much ground on me after I'd tackled it."—New York Times. Overconfidence. The two strangers who were standing at a downtown corner crossed the street and accosted a young man on the opposite corner. "Will you please,tell me," said one of them, "which is the best way to go from here to Seventy-second street?" "Well," replied the young man, "the best way, of course, is to take an automobile. If you can't do that, I suggest a street car as the next best." "Thank you," said the stranger. "I was so certain from your appearance that you would give a civil answer to a civil question that I bet a $2 bill on that proposition with my friend here. I see I have lost. One can't always judge from appearance. Good morning, sir."—Chicago Tribune. --- SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1904. Mrs. S. A. Chisholm of Darien was in the city this week.

The case of Miss Frankie Orser, of Boston, Mass., is interesting to all women, and adds further proof that woman's great friend in need is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM—I suffered misery for several years. My back ached and I had bearing down pains, and frequent headaches. I would often wake from a restful sleep in such pain and misery that it would be hours before I could close my eyes again. I dreaded the long nights and weary days. I could do no work. I consulted different physicians hoping to get relief, but, finding that their medicines did not cure me, I tried Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, as it was highly recommended to me. I am glad that I did so, if I soon found that it was the medicine for my case. Very soon I was rid of every ache and pain and restored to perfect health. I feel splendid, have a fine appetite, and have gained in weight a lot."—MISS FRANKIE ORSEN. 14 Warrenton St., Boston, Mass.

I felt rorse all over, with a pounding in my head, and a dizziness which I had never experienced before. I had a miserable appetite, nothing tasted good, and gradually my health broke down completely. The doctor said I had female weakness, but, although I took his medicine faithfully, I found no relief. "After two months I decided to try what a change would do for me, and as Lyda E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was strongly recommended to me I decided to try it. Within three days I felt better, my appetite returned, and I could sleep. In another week I was able to sit up part of the day, and in ten days more I was well. My strength had returned, I gained fourteen pounds, and felt better and stronger, than East Indian Athletes. As is only to be expected, considering their national diet—curri-bhat—the physique of the natives of India will not compare with an Englishman's through they possess a liteness of form and quickness of eye that we lack and that make them among the finest gymnasts and jugglers in the world. Such perfect balancing powers have they that, even supposing them bereft of the tenacious grasp of foot possessed by all barefooted races, there would be still left much to admire in their skill. No contortion seems too difficult or them, no bar too slight or smooth to be negotiated; no height can try their nerves, and no standing ground appears too small. Even a slip is of little consequence to such clever tumblers. They seem to have all the climbing powers of a cat. As runners their staying power is most remarkable. A dak-wallah deems the task of running twenty miles a mere trifle. The most effective policemen for the enforcement of the laws against illegal automobile speeding are automobiles themselves.

You'll get all the walkin' you want, 'an' the way you have to watch for surprises, 'an' slip about so's not to lose 'em, would tickle you nearly to death." But for the need of horrible examples many a man's usefulness would never be properly illused—The Philadelphia Inquirer. "WHACKS' And What They Mean. When Old Mother Nature gives you a "whack" remember "there's a reason" so try and say "thank you" then set about finding what you have done to demand the rebake, and try and get back into line, for that's the happy place after all. Curious how many highly organized people fall to appreciate and heed the first little, gentle, "whacks" of the good old Dame, but go right along with the habit whatever it may be, that causes her disapproval. Whiskey, Tobacco, Coffee, Tea or other unnatural treatment of the body, until serious illness sets in or some chronic disease. Some people seem to get on very well with those things for awhile, and Mother Nature apparently cares but little what they do. Perhaps she has no particular plans for them and thinks it little use to waste time in their training. There are people, however, who seem to be selected by Nature to "do things." The ON Mother expects them to carry out some department of her great work. A portion of these selected ones oft and again seek to stimulate and then deaden the tool (the body) by some one or more of the drugs—Whiskey, Tobacco, Coffee, Tea, Morphine, etc. You know all of these throw down the same class of alkaloids in Chemical analysis. They stimulate and then depress. They take from man or woman the power to do his or her best work. After these people have drugged for a time, they get a hint, or mild "whack" to remind them that they have work to do, a mission to perform, and should be about the business, but are loading along the wavies and become unified for the fame and fortune that waits for them if they but stick to the course and keep the body clear of obstructions so it can carry out the behests of the mind. Sickness is a call to "come up higher." These hints come in various forms. It may be stomach trouble or bowels, heart, eyes, kidneys or general nervous prostration. You may depend upon it when a "whack" comes it's a warning to quit some abuse and do the right and fair thing with the body. Perhaps it is Coffee drinking that offends. That is one of the greatest causes of human disorder among Americans. Now then if Mother Nature is gentle with you and only gives light, little "whacks" at first to attract attention, don't abuse her consideration, or she will soon hit you harder, sure. And you may also be sure she will hit you very, very hard if you insist on following the way you have been going. It seems hard work to give-up a habit, and we try all sorts of plans to charge our ill feelings to some other cause than the real one. Coffee drinkers when ill will attribute the trouble to bad food, malaria, overwork and what not, but they keep on being sick and gradually getting worse until they are finally forced to quit entirely, even the "only one cup a day." Then they begin to get better, and unless they have gone long enough to set up some fixed organic disease, they generally get entirely well. It is easy to quit coffee once and for all, by having well made Postm, with its rich, deep, seal brown color which comes to the beautiful golden brown when good cream is added, and the crisp snap of good, mild Java is there if the Postm has been boiled long enough to bring it out. It pays to be well and happy for good old Mother Nature then sends us her blessings of many and various kinds and helps us to gain fame and fortune. Strip off the handlecaps, leave out the deadening habits, heed Mother Nature's hints, quit being a loser and become a winner. Sho' will help you sure if you cut out the hints that keep you back. "There's a reason" and a profound one. Look in each package for a copy of the famous little book, "The Road to Wellville." Paper car wheels, made by pressure from rye straw, are usually in condition for a second set of steel tires after the first set is worn out by a run of 300,000 miles. The average passenger haul on steam railways has increased from twenty-three to twenty-seven miles since electrical lines have been competing for suburban business. The risk of gangrene from carbolic acid dressings is not generally appreciated by physicians, in the view of Dr. G. E. Shoemaker. Harm does not usually follow the applications, but one author has found recorded 132 cases of gangrene from allude solutions of one to five per cent. applied for about twenty-four hours. The effect is usually produced without pain. Among other destructive results of the storm which passed over Kansas City recently was, the overthrow of two popular superstitions regarding lightning, namely, that it never strikes twice in the same place and that it is powerless against feathers, says the Kansas City Star. The spire of the First Congregational Church was struck by lightning for the second time within a week, and at 1421 Charlotte street the electrical current tackled a feather bed and scattered the contents all over the room. The Japanese excel in the making of paper from the bark of trees and shrubs. Among the remarkable varieties, D. G. Falrechild mentions the thin rainproof paper used instead of glass for windows, the oiled papers, serving for coverings and clothing, and the oiled tissue for wrapping delicate articles. The bark paper, employed for meal and grain sacks, is not readily penetrated by weevils and other insects. Most interesting of all, perhaps, are the leather papers, from which tobacco pouches and pipe cases are made, these papers being almost as tough as French kid, translucent, and as soft and plurable as calfskin. Prince Henry's Idea of Royalty. Prince Henry's Idea of Royalty. The French professor of Prince Henry of Prussia one day read to him the following exercise for translation: "Sovereign ladies have not merely an air of majesty, but a gracious department peculiar to them." The Prince laid down his pen and raised his hand. "Have you any remark to make?" asked the teacher. "Only this: do you or do you not wish to teach me to be truthful?" "Certainly, I wish to teach you truthfulness." "Lot me tell you then, that I have known sovereign ladies all my life, and never noticed in them any majesty or peculiar grace of department. Quite the contrary. Ought we not, therefore, to omit the phrase you have just read?" The professor said that he respected the scruples of his pupil. He could not, however, correct an exercise book which had been carefully inspected before being set down on the list for study. Besides, the taste of a boy of twelve differed from that of an adult. He might hereafter see majesty, and grace where he now sees none. Henry took up his pen and wrote out the phrase in French. He then uttered a groan and observed: "it's an awful shame to tell such books upon us."—London Truth. Spain's Elite Tony King There is a grave crisis in the history of Spanish etiquette. King Alfonso XII, who is described by a French journal as "very impulsive, and at the same time very sports," swishes to make a royal progress through his kingdom in an automobile. Horror of the Trima Minister. Such a vehicle, says he, is beneath the dignity of a monarch to whom the Constitution has intrusted the "sinaptuous car of the State." The sunnipuous car must not be driven by petrol. Horses are still harnessed to the character of the sun. But Spanish etiquette does not prevent the monarch from traveling by railway. Lady Currie tells a story of a young man who jumped into a compartment one day, on an English train and started a conversation with an old lady who greatly admired his pleasant manners. When he was alighting she asked his name, and he answered, blithely, "Alfonso." He was Alfonso XII, then a cadet at Sandhurst. The anecdote will probably be read at Madrid with pain and incredulity.—London Chronicle. The Pot and the Kettle "A young woman who lives in a Southern State met recently another young woman whose home is in New England. "What place do you come from?" inquired the New Englander with polite interest. The Southerner answered that her native town was called "Horsehead," where her acquaintance went off into peals of merriment. "And where do you come from?" asked the Southern girl. "Oh," was the indifferent answer, "I come from Scittee on-the-Scantic."—Harper's Weekly. Fallace of "Blue Blood." The fact is that, as every observant medical practitioner sooner or later realizes, there is no great difference of the kind that theories of birth assume between one man and another. The basis of this fact, no doubt, is that the whole population of this country is so mixed and so connected by marriage that for any one individual to extrude himself, or herself, or ancestry, is a separate, abbreviated General Practitioner.
