PARDEEDENOUNCED Scored Fore and Aft for Attempt to Shield Swayne. Highly Sensational Proceedings In House of Representatives During Discussion of Notorious Impachment Case. With an agreement reached to vote on the Swayne impeachment articles Wednesday at 3:30 o'clock the debate in the house Tuesday was carried on at a high pressure for more than five hours. Mr. Grosvenor furnished the text for a vigorous speech by Bourke Cockran of New York by the reading of a letter from Judge Pardee, formerly of New Orleans, but now resident of Atlanta, Ga., declaring that politics was at the bottom of the impeachment proceedings. The fact of a judge transmitting such a letter, Mr. Cockran declared dramatically, was "a monstrous spectacle." Mr. Grosvenor asserted that there was no ground presented for impeachment in the report of the committee. The other defenders of the Florida judge during the day were Messrs. Lacey of Iowa, Nevin of Ohio, Moon of Pennsylvania and Crumpacker of Indiana. Mr. Lamar of Florida closed the debate for the day, reviewing the sentiment of his state and the record of Judge Swayne. He declared there was ample ground for impeachment. Mr. Grosvenor of Ohio began a speech in behalf of Judge Swayne by the statement that he had never been so much shocked as to the status of the law profession as he had been at some of the expressions of bad temper and bad legal propositions that had been made in the debate. Mr. Grosvenor then read the letter of Judge Pardee. In it the judge expresses surprise that the house committee on the judiciary had voted "six democrats and two republicans" to present articles of impeachment against Judge Swayne. He reviews the circumstance of Swayne's appointment in the early part of the Harrison administration and following an election in Florida, in which it was reported and generally believed that gross frauds had been perpetrated against the republican party. Judge Swayne had told him that it was the desire of the administration that those guilty of those frauds should be proceeded against. This litigation had engendered an intense feeling against Judge Swayne. It was then regarded as hazardous for Judge Swayne to travel about the district and from that time on Judge Swayne was persona non grata to the democrats in Florida. "Following this unpopularity," the letter continues: "Judge Swayne's district was changed, largely for the purpose of punishing him. The change of the district resulted in his being, as it were, legislated out of his district." The house had been noticeably impressed by the contents of the letter Soon afterwards Bourke Cockran took the floor to argue for impeachment. It was expected the eloquent New Yorker would refer to the letter in his speech. Cockran did not disappoint the house in this. He characterized Judge Swayne's conduct as outrageous, and then described Judge Pardee as "that other judge who drags his fame in the dirt in order to throw a mantle over his inferior." Cockran declared Judge Pardee had destroyed his own usefulness as a judge by defending Swayne. The attack created a great sensation in the house, for Cockran went the limit of invective in describing his estimate of Judge Pardee's act. CONTEST AGAINST GOV. ADAMS. Colorado Legislature Extends Time for an Answer to Peabody. A Denver special says: At a joint session of the two houses of the Colorado general assembly Tuesday afternoon to take action on the contest filed by James H. Peabody for the office of governor, the request of the attorneys for Governor Adams for an extension until Saturday of the time to submit an answer to charges made in the papers, was granted by a vote of 61 to 34. CHINA ALLY OF JAPAN. Bo Celeares Russian Government in Note to Powers—Charge that Neutrality Is Violated. A Paris special says: The Associated Press learns authoritatively that Russia's note addressed to the powers relative to China's breaking neutrality gives what Russia claims to be absolute proof of Chinese breaches. The three main complaints are: First—That the islands of Mieotao, in the straits of Pe-Chi-La, opposite Port Arthur, have been constantly used by the Japanese without Chinese interference as a strategic base and a harbor for Japanese torpedo boats. Second—That the Chinese army on the border has accepted the command of Japanese officers. Third—That Chinese firms have been constantly working in behalf of the Japanese, supplying them with provisions, military accountment and general war stores. The note lengthily sets forth the details and complains that China is not given satisfactory explanation of breaches of neutrality, and that therefore Russia notifies the powers that she intends to use complete liberty of action in regard to the future abuse of neutrality. A Washington dispatch says: Count Cassini, the Russian ambassador, called at the state department Friday to talk with Secretary Hay, respecting the formal and general protest made by Russia against alleged violations of neutrality by China during the present war. The ambassador had been informed by his government by cable that the full text of the Russian circular note or protest was now on the way to him and he was instructed to submit it to Secretary Hay on receipt. Upon the first announcement of Russian intention to file this protest, it was apprehended here that it might be the forerunner of some positive action on the part of Russia, which would vitiate the agreement entered into by the belligerents at the outbreak of the war to restrict hostilities to a certain well-defined area, which undertaking was affected through the United States government with the hearty co-operation of the powers and of China. Now, however, the belief obtains that the action of Russia in dispatching this note to the powers is intended not to indicate immediate action toward obliging China to remedy the matter complained of at present, but rather to have on file a record or a grievance against the Chinese government which can be brought up for consideration at the conclusion of hostilities and during the negotiations which will effect a permanent settlement of the eastern embroglio. DECLARE POLYGAMY DYING OUT. One Wife All-Sufficient for Mormons of Younger Generation Three witnesses for the defense in the Smoot case at Washington Friday testified that polygamy is dying out in Utah so rapidly that there is no need of prosecutions. I was declared that the younger Mormons are all opposed to polygamy, and that if they thought it was being taught there would be a revolution in the church. It was admitted that Senator Smoot had to get the consent of the church to become a candidate for senator. TO PRESERVE STATE'S INTEREST Important Resolution Introduced in North Carolina Legislature. An important resolution was introduced in the North Carolina legislature Friday providing that a special committee of that body shall advise and confer with counsel employed by the state in the noted South-Dakota bond suit case, and recommend such action as will best preserve North Carolina's interest in the bonds on which South Dakota's judgment was obtained from the United States supreme court. SORE TROUBLES OF DUKE. Old, Man's, Family Insists on Keeping Him in Insane Asylum. The effort to gain the freedom of Brodie L. Duke by means of habeas corpus proceedings was defeated temporarily at New York Friday by the legal representatives of the Duke's family, and struggling in the hands of half a dozen attendants and making vain efforts to call for his counsel. Mr. Duke was dragged out of the court at the conclusion of the proceedings, and hurried away, in a carriage, to a private insane asylum in Amityville, L, I. REFUSED A BRIBE And Was Promptly Fired By Colorado Legislature. A SENATOR'S HARD LUCK Ex-Governor Peabody Files Notice of Contest Against Adams and Spee Ihss Charges to Sustain His The ColoFado senate Thursday, by a party vote, seated James B. Dick in place of Senator Robert M. Born. Dick was unseated by the democratic majority during the contest over election of United States senator two years ago. Senator Born refused to give up his seat and was forcibly ejected by the sérgean at arms. Senator Daniel Healy, who was seated two years ago in place of Jesse F. McDonald, now lieutenant governor, was also expelled by a vote of 18 to 15, the same as Born's case. Senator Horace T. De Long, republican, protested against the action as unconstitutional. The democrats allege that a two-thirds vote is necessary to expel members, and may apply to the supreme court for redress. In a statement on the floor of the senate Healy declared that an attempt had been made to bribe him. He said that on Saturday during the joint session he was called into a private room and was told that if he would vote for the confirmation of Judge Goddard he need have no fear of being unseated. The senate membership is now twenty republicans and thirteen democrats, with three vacancies. Contest filed by Peabody. Notice of former Governor Peabody's contest against Governor Alva Adams for the office of governor was filed before the legislature during the day. The complaint sets forth the allegation that the ballots for Adams on the face of the returns as finally canvassed was obtained by means of a conspiracy in Denver and several counties. The legislature is petitioned to open the ballot boxes from a number of precincts. It is alleged the frauds in some precincts were so extensive and varied it that would be impossible to segregate the true from the false ballots. It is charged that 10,000 names were used in Denver on elections, and that the registration books contained at least 15,000 false, fraudulent and mythical names. It is further set forth that 10,000 votes were cast by repeaters in the city. Charges of ballot box stuffing, substitution of prepared ballots for those cast by voters and miscounting by election judges are also included in the specifications of fraud. Another charge is that, in order to defeat Governor Peabody, ballots already marked with a cross for Adams were handed by the election officers to voters who were known to be republicans. Peabody asks to have ninety-five Denver precincts thrown out, and claims that the vote of the county should show 6,300 plurality for him instead of 4,903 for Adams as canvassed. The accusation is made that in Pueblo 1,200 aliens were voted-for Adams in nine precincts, and that 300 republican voters were prevented from casting their Ballots through the acts of watchers appointed by the district judges. WHIPPING POST RECOMMENDED. Chief Executive of Oregon Makes the Recommendation in Message The Oregon legislature, in session at Salem, Thursday, listened to the reading of Governor Chamberlain's message. The message carried a recommendation that a law be passed establishing whipping-posts for wifebaters. A great demonstration followed the reading of this clause in the message, the applause lasting for several minutes. American Company Has Grievance Against Costa Rican Government. The American Banana Company, through Mr. H. L. McConnell of Mobile, Ala., and associate members, have asked the state department to intervene in their behalf on account of the Costa Rican government having interfered with their planting, railroad building and other operations in the territory now belonging to Panama, but at one time, under the jurisdiction of Costa Rica, and have asked for damages in the sum of $3,219,000. A RUSSIAN BLUFF. Is British View of Charges Brought Against China Alleging Violation of Neutrality. A London dispatch says: The Russian government's note regarding Chinese neutrality has not yet reached the British foreign office. In diplomatic quarters the circular is regarded as a move to forestall complaints of Russian transgression of Chinese territory coming from Japan, but not as indicating any immediate of serious action on Russia's part in this dear future. The very fact that there has been no haste in presenting the circular to Great Britain might indicate that this is the correct view. Baron Hayashi, the Japanese minister, who has not yet received official notification of the circular, visited Foreign Secretary Lansdowne Saturday afternoon, and the Associated Press understands that they discussed the circular informally. Minister Hayashi prior to his visit to Lord Lansdowne said to the Associated Press: "The Japanese have not repiled to the innumerable allegations of breaches of neutrality and of international law charged by Russia since the war, but the Japanese government probably will reply to this formal charge." Baron Hayashi thought, however, that it was in line with other charges and similar to "the yellow peril" scare. He said Great Britain, the United States and Germany all had as great interests in China as Russia had and, being well represented there, knew from their own agents whether it was necessary to interfere. NEW BREED OF ANARCHIST. Rosseau Dubbed by Officers as "Amer- ican Patriotic Fanatic." "Gessler Rosseau," who was arrested in Philadelphia several days ago with an unloaded infernal machine in his possession, has admitted to the police that he is the man who attempted to destroy the statue of Frederick the Great in Washington, and also that it was he who sent the trunk containing the infernal machine to the British steamship Umbria at New York in May, 1903. The prisoner gives no reasons for the attempted outrages except that "there are too many foreign affairs in this country." After having Rosseau under fire all afternoon the police classed him as an "American patriotic fanatic." PANAMANS AGAIN ANGERED. Adoption of Barrett's Suggestion Would Be an Insult. They Say Representatives of all political parties in Panama have asked American Minister Barrett to withdraw the suggestion he made to the Washington government that the functions of governor of the canal zone and minister to Panama be combined in the person of the governor of the canal zone. It is argued by the memorialists that the dignity of Panama as an independent nation required a separate legation. TALBOT INQUIRY COLLAPSED. Investigating Board Finally Declares Itself Without Power to Act. There will be no investigation for the present at least of the charges preferred by Rev. Irvine against Bishop Talbot of the Central Pennsylvania diocese of the Protestant Episcopal church, says a dispatch from Reading, Pa. "A lack of canonical authority" is the conclusion of the eleven members who attended Saturday's meeting of the board of inquiry. The full membership consists of sixteen. MONEY VOTED FOR FAST MAIL Usual Fight Made Against Appropriation Was of No Avail. The usual fight against the special appropriation for fast mail service to the south was made in the house committee on postoffices and post roads, but the committee by a vote of eleven out of sixteen put the item in the postoffice appropriation bill. STRIKE ON PANAMA CANAL Several Laborers Have Been Evicted from Company Houses. A dispatch from Colon says: The strike of the St. Cristobal men ended Monday. The canal officials brought in 120 laborers, chiefly Colombians, from Panama and other points along the line. These men temporarily are receiving $1.50 silver per day and also free quarters and food. Several striking laborers were evicted Saturday evening from the canal commission's houses, but a large number have given up the strike and are gradually returning work. AFFAIRS OF CANAL The Subject of a Message to Congress by President. ASKS FOR MORE LATITUDE Would Reduce Commission to Three Members—Asks Direct Control of All Matters Relating to the Great Waterway. Président Roosevelt, in a brief message transmitted to congress Friday the first annual report of the Panama canal commission, together with a letter from Secretary Taft relating to Panama affairs, recommends that he be given greater discretion, as he is charged with the responsibility of construction of the canal. The board of canal commissioners, he says, should be reduced to five or preferably three members, whose duties, powers and salaries should be assigned by the president. The president's message, in full, is as follows: "I transmit herewith the report of the isthmian canal commission, accompanied by a letter of the secretary of war, under whose supervision I have by executive order placed work of the commission. "I concur with the secretary of war in the view that the present provision of law, by which the work of building the canal has to be done only through a body of seven members, is inelastic and clumsy, and I earnestly recommend a change so that the president, who is charged with the responsibility of building the canal, may exercise greater discretion in the organization of the personnel, through whom he is to discharge this duty. "Actual experience has convinced me that it will be impossible to obtain the best and most effective service under the limitations prescribed by law. The general plans for the work must be agreed upon with the aid of the best engineers of the country, who should act as an advisory or consulting body. The, consulting engineers should not be put on the commission, which should be used only as an executive instrument for the executive and administrative work. "The actual work of executing the general plans agreed upon by the commission after reaching the conclusions of the advising engineers, must be done by an engineer in charge, and we now have an excellent engineer. It is, in my judgment, inadvisable, therefore, to restrict the executive's choice of commissioners to representatives of the engineer corps of the army or the navy. The commission should consist of five, or preferably of three members, whose respective duties, powers and salaries should be assigned to them by the president and who should be placed under the member of the cabinet whom the president desires. Of these men the one appointed as administrator of the canal strip should also serve as minister to Panama. THEODORE ROOSEVELT." In his letter Secretary Taft says the commission has done a great deal of the work of organization and preparation to build the canal. Decided progress has been made in the verification of the data obtained by the French engineers, and in procuring new data necessary to enable the engineers of the commission to determine the proper plan for the canal. POSSIBLE ROW WITH HAITI. Uncle Sam Demands Release of Convicted American Citizen. The American minister at Port au Prince has informed the government of Haiti that the United States government refuses to recognize the validity of the sentence to Sween years at hard labor. pronounced by the Haitien court against one Jaeger Huber, an American citizen for alleged complicity in bond frauds. The United States demands the annulment of the sentence, under palm of energetic intervention. She 'je' Wanted by Court Officers for Allocated Swindling Scheme. A. Nacogdoches, Texas, dispatch says: District Attorney Imboden has asked the governor to secure requisition papers, for Mrs. Alice Webb-Duke, on the indictment charging her, with swindling one B. A. Blunt by securing from him a loan of $3,000 based upon false allegations that she, and C. F. Taylor had purchased the Red field tobacco farm from S. F. B. Morse, when in fact both she and Taylor had been legally warned not to set foot on the place. Mitchell of Oregon Makes Statement in Senate, Vehemently Destroying Charges Against Him. A Washington special says: In the senate Tuesday, while the routine business of the morning hour was in progress, Mr. Mitchell of Oregon entered the chamber. It was his first appearance in the senate since the indictment against him by the grand jury of his own state, in connection with the Oregon land frauds, and his entrance created much interest. The announcement that Senator Mitchell would address the senate in explanation of the charges made against him had the effect of filling the gallery, and there was also liberal attendance of senators. Mr. Mitchell took his customary seat in the rear of the chamber, and was immediately surrounded by other senators, who shook his hand warmly, and gave him assurance of confidence in his innocence. The welcome was so hearty that when a few minutes later he rose to speak, his voice was for a time almost inaudible, and it was difficult for him to proceed. Mr. Mitchell read his statement from manuscript. As he proceeded his voice cleared and there was little difficulty in hearing him throughout the chamber. He had the undivided attention of senators and visitors throughout the recital. The senators almost to a man faced about when Mr. Mitchell began to speak; and few of them changed positions until he closed. The scene was impressive. At the outset the senator declared that the charges made against him; if true, unfitted him to occupy his seat in the senate. He then detailed the charges and said: "I assert in the most positive manner that each add every one of these charges, in so far as they relate to or involve me, are absolutely, unqualifiedly, and atrociously false, and I here and now indignantly denounce their authors and each and every one of them and brand them publicly as malicious and atrocious llars." Such Is Opinion Expressed by Japane Officials at Tokyo A Tokio special says: The report of the Russian government to the powers calling attention to the alleged violation by China of her declared neutrality, which Russia charges, has been at the instance of Japan; the raid of Lieutenant General Mistchenko's cavalry southwest of Liao-yang, resulting, as the Japanese claim, in the deliberate invasion of neutral territory and the alleged violation of French neutrality by vessels of the Russian second Pacific squadron in making a prolonged stay at ports of the islands of Madagascar, have created the impression in official quarters that the Russians are trying to involve France, China and others powers in the Russo-Japanese troubles in the far east, so that Russia may be enabled to take her defeat with greater grace. CARNEGIE REIMBURSES BOYS. Money Lost in Bank Broken by Mrs. Chadwick Is Made Good. Gratifying news was received by the students of Oberlin college at Oberlin, Ohio, Tuesday, when President King announced, that all money which had been lost by students through the failure of the Citizens' National Bank, which closed its doors at the time of the alleged Chadwick forgeries, would be paid on presentation of their pass books. President King announced further that Andrew Carnegie was the man who was doing this. Saps Capture Dutch Coal Steamer. A Japanese torpedo boat destroyer captured the Dutch steamer Wilhelmina, which was carrying Cardiff coal to Vladivostock in the Tsushima straits Monday. DUKE'S SPOUBE SKIPS OUT. Says She is "Hounded to Death" and Wants to Get Away. A New York dispatch says: After Mrs. Brodie L. Duke had suddenly disappeared from the Union Square hotel Monday, a woman who said she was Mrs. Duke, called at that hotel by telephone and notified the manager that she had left New York city. When asked why she had left the hotel so suddenly she declared, "she had been housed to do her wanted to get away." pie ary Sete pe FN Ne PE PRD NIRS 8 BRE SES ERS SRE og ERA ERT OQ First af a Bp AAR * ROE mt, Pak ee a . 7 ‘ 77 eecs fee Saas ce Peeoee HER SSE a Le SS ee Dg oo : . pte Ae eS!

Sa Batorbar, Jaxvary 21, 1905, . THe cotton agitation has given the mewspapers in this section some- thing to fill the columns with, hence the Negro question is given 9 reat. This iz.as it shonid be, Our people represent the greater part of the. population of this city. Their’progress should be in com. ménsuration with that number, They ehould understand that by their non progressiveness tlie race is blamed. Ag mechanics, our race has & high rating, and ss euch they'should-hold their own. In the Northern and Weatera tire of States here isa dis- Position to discountenance mechao- ics of the race. In this section the-e is a gradual increase of the number of the opposite race. It is necesaury for our men to hold their own, They can do this by a atrict application tu their duties being more efficient and not all ow their number to decrease. Tue ownershipef a home is in reach of every young man of the race if they would only exert a litle energy and become more economical In this community there are hun- ‘dreds of young men with a family who are making fair wages who cap afford to invest a part of their earn- ings in a home, matters not-how humble, which will in a course of a few years be theirs. This is a matter that our young menahonld become more interested. Or the eleven million Colored people in the United States the vast majority of whom is in the South- ern states, and ninety-nine per cent, of them Republicans, should have a larger representation in the federal service, sapecially in places of im: portance, than they now have. Influ- ence is being brought upon the Pres- ideat to predjudice him against the small number that are-now hold. ing office. ‘his attempt will prove futile. The Presideut will not “close the door of hops” upon a people who will lay down their life for their country and sre loyal to the party. Tae following dispatch from Washington is significant and will -be relished by all who believe in fair play: » “Ic ig reported hers that District Attorney Ed Angler of the North- ern diatrict of Georgia will not be reappointed at the expiration of his Present term next, spring. “It is the belief here now that both Rucker of Atlanta and Deveaux at Savanneh will be retained. Both have excellent records, and since the President has no desire to divert his policy “of opentng the door of hope” to the Negro, nor of stirring up the agitation anew, he will, 1t 33 be- lieved, merely renew the appoint- mens of Rucker and Deveaux sa quietly as possible, and let the matter a@tand at that. , “The other places will be taken up and disposed of on the advice of Georgia referees aa in the past.” Tue New York Sun in the fol- lowing article sngwera in 8 succinct manner, Mr. Gates who wrote acom- m uvication agsinst the colored man, and the treatment of the whites by northerners: . “Discussion of the Negro question has become somewhat tiresome. In one form or another it has been kept up in this country without intermission tora century, and acitvely and virnlently for more than fifty years; yet-we give a Southerner an opportunity te discuss the question still again in an adjoining colum. Mr. Gates Presents no new view, however, but Fepeats arguments and illegatiuns which are old very old, “He starts out by assuming that North- ern writers on the subject are ignorant of the conditions at the South and the state of gmind of the Southera whites. If that is so they have thrown away opportunities to inform themselves as to the matter. No question concerning our social aad political relations has been more ‘frequently and more thoroughly discussed by people who know all about it, Every fact and every argument brought forward by Mr, Gates 4s familiar to all intelligent men at the North, no less than at.the-South. Besides, many thousands of Northern penple visit the South every winter, and the busiaess associations between South and North are ‘all ‘the tims growing'more intimate. “It was inevitable that the sudden"and revolutionary step from slavery to freedom of the two-Bfths or one-third of the popu: lation of the South, ‘should javolve ‘social and industrial disturbance, On the whole, however, the revolution Hiss, bees effected, with wonderfully little friction. The South has risen from complete collapse immediately after the war to great’ pros perity, and it has been a'progress unexam> Pled in the history of. Re’ world under. similar circumstances. “ “Cotton production is neasly.three times ax great as itvas in the year of the largest cotton <erop under slavery, and in other agricaltural productions the increase bas bees even greater. The Soufth in the last "generation "has, built, up a vast dystem of manyfaeturiog, has developediits mincs to afemormous ‘extent, and its ‘railway fyzteauwowFank ‘with the best ia. the Ushod::Novhingih' thls suggesis indust- Ziel sioperbaitec and practical y the Negro abétiew ta an ladustria!'question, forthe Negro tends:to-distract hlm from tho Snanudl labor for which'alone be ig &'- tedd ‘Thal is nota complaint’ peculiar? to be South and the Negro; ‘What’ the South,”says Mr. Gates,~protest against is acts the Teshltof.rhict causes the "Negro to seek elevation above the sociul plane-of his race.” The same kind of talk is often heard hefe ‘at the North concerning laborers who are'not black. It is said that they do not’ ‘keep their place,” that they arc not sufficiently submisdive, that, as the Episco- pal Prayer Rook puts it, they are no long- er content to do their duty in that state of Jife unto which it,shall -please God to call’ \hem., They assert themselves uncomfort- ably,’think they aré as good as anybody else, and combine to prevent their employ- ‘ers from keeping down their scale of wages. **AMl that is am inevitable result of edu- cation, and it isa result seen‘not merély in a democracy, but also in monarchial and despotic'states, Laborers seek cleva- tion above the social plane’ to which they had been confined whether they are Ne- grées or white men. That is human pro- gress, and as time goes on the seeking will be more‘and more general, and more and: more earnest and successful, Mod ern society denies that there is any lower social plane to which any,man is confined or any social elevation ta which he may aspire. The South is lesg troubled by that aspiration and by the determination of its industrial population to get ahead than is the North, “Mr. Gates says the Negroes are lazy. Would the great crops, the enormous out put of mines and manufactories and the vast railway development have been pos- ible if the great mass of Negroes in the South had not worked industrially? It is questionable if relatively there is any more thriltlessness and any"more indispo- sition to labor among the Southern- Ne- grocs than there is among Northern whites. It is questionable. too, if the crime attributed to the Negroes of the South peculiarly is much more frequent there than itis at the North. How lurge the percentage of it among the eight million Negroes of the South? “Mr Gales says that the free scbools of the South established after the war, in whose benefits the Negroes participate, were supported by the, whites ouly, for ‘hardly a Negro was ataxpayer, la the same sense, free,schoolsa re generally for the children of parents who do not pay taxes directly; though, in tact, everybouy pays taxes indirectly, if not directly, The Kreat.mass of the pupils of the schools of New York ale not chidren of patents who pay specific tax bill. ‘I'he poyition of Mr, Gates is tallacious. “Mr Gates says that the South prefers to retain the Negro’ but ‘it wants the Negro us a toilcr’ only. Nearly four million Negroes in the United Stztes. of whom nearly nine tenths are in the South, are now engaged in toil or as the census defines it, “in gainful occupations.’ If the South should be deprived of Negro toil its industry would be destroyed in chief part, Df course it does not want to get rid of its Negroes. Ifthe efforts to aitract white forciga immigration in which Southern communities ure now engaged soearnestly should be successtul Onany large scale, a part of the Negru labor might be dispen- sed with eventually ; but thp probability is that if such a change from black to white labor ever tahe place extensively there will be more dissatisfaction at the South than there is now. “This leads us to affirm thatnowhere in he world is the industrial situation so favorable to the employer asit is now at he South. he greatest trouble with the Negro labor there is its insufficiency. “As to the discussion of the Negro juestion, why should not everybody be ree to talk about it? This is » country of ree speech, Whether that freedom is visely or unwisely used, it isthe birth- ight of an American, and the South will 0 more suffer from it than dues the orth, “Finally; the South is very much better fithan itknaws. It can afiord to be in- ifferent to criticism. In many respects Lis the most fortunate, the most prosper- us region on the face of the globe, It an’t be injured from the outside. It an only injure itself.

We do wear black glace, but the handsome old black silks that we used to be so proud of are quite things of the past. In old days they used to last for years, but the vegetable fibres, renamed and weighted with starchy dyes, have no staying powers in them. Many a woman who is not well off used to keep a black silk on hand for years; she cannot do that now, even if she invests in one; she would look demode, says the London Queen. But there is a hope that we are returning to our allegiance to colored silks. BACHELOR MAID'S SENTIMENTS. The season of the church fair is here. Isn't it funny, but almost everyone buys things they would not want at twice their value at ordinary times. How easy it is for the benevolent being to diffuse pleasure. When a city is blessed with good churches and public schools, you may be certain that it is the fault of the women. When a boy grows into an honest, upright, forcible man-look for the woman. When you find clean street cars or streets, you may be almost certain that they were procured through woman's influence. No matter how much a man may say against the missionary society or suffragist question, when he wants any important matter carried through he asks for woman's influence. Man will insist on smoking horrible old pipes and chewing tobacco, but trees when a woman chews on candy. GLIMPSE OF HAT FASHIONS. Wide low-oval crowns vary the carrier accepted wide and medium-wide low square and bell-shaped crowns, and upward and folding upward of brims of the latest hat models. In a marked manner, rich golden and tobacco-browns are rivaling, if not indeed supplanting, the greens and olives of a short time age. Furs are, without a doubt, a suitable rival for all else included in the millinery line, and they are receiving a great amount of attention from fashionable hat makers. The plain velvets, varied by plushes, chenille and felt cloths, continue to be in invitable demand for the production of the finer grades of hats. The popular Charlotte Corday is becoming more and more handsome every day, and hats made on this style are invariably becoming to almost every woman. The Directorel is among the favorites in the line of headgear, and this one model becomes more women than any other—New Haven Register. TO WORK EASILY. The sensible housewife considers her guest has paid her a compliment when he remarks: "How easily you do your work." It may be that the guest knows very little about it. But the fact remains that to him the work of the housewife seems easily done. This means that the household machinery is well oiled, there is no rushing here and there, after something needed at the last moment. There is no fussing when someone happens to be late to a meal. There is no fluttering in and out, and jumping up, excusing oneself to rush to see if the biscuits are burning. There is no scowl on the forehead of this housewife who does her work "so easily." The woman who frowns and jumps and runs and frets and fusses will sooner or later break down and be a chronic invalid. Such a woman is a burden to herself and no consolation to her family. The more silently the 'wheels of domestic affairs are made to turn the healthier the family and the happier the wife and mother. AGE A MATTER OF HABIT AGE A MATTER OF HABIT. How old are you? asks the Milwaukee Journal. The adage that women are as old as they look and men as old as they feel. That's wrong. A man and woman are as old as they take themselves to be. Growing old is largely a habit of the mind. "As a man thinketh in his heart so he is," if he begins shortly after middle age to imagine himself growing old he will be old. To keep one's self from depruditude is somewhat a matter of power. The fates are kind to the man who hangs on to life with both hands. He who lets go will go. Death is slow only to tackle the tenacious. Ponce de Leon searched in the wrong place for the fountain of youth. It is in one's self. One must keep one's self young inside. So that while "the outer man perilsheth the inner man is renewed day by day." When the human ceases to exert itself, when there is no longer an active interest in the affairs of this life, when the human stops reading and thinking and doing, the man, like a blasted tree, begins to die at the top. You are as old as you think you are. Keep the harness on. Your job is not done. POPULAR TRIMMINGS. One sees much of this heavy silk brochet, trimming upon the newest powns of cloth, silk and velvet, and with it grelots and other pendantsto match. Very heavy Irish brochet ornaments, medallions, etc., are also extremely modish, and used not only on heavy materials, but in combination with fine laces like Valencliennes and sheer stuffs. As for the applique trimmings, they are innumerable, and some of them are wonderfully beautiful. The flat flower designs in painted velvet have already been mentioned, but there are scores of other flower trimmings cumingly fashioned by cutting and gathering of silk mousseline, chiffon, silk velvet or what you will. Embroidery stitches or water color are often used to increase the effectiveness of the flower designs, and one may buy garlands of tiny blossoms, wreaths, single sprays, single huge flowers or continuous vines. These are made separate and tacked to some coarse stuff or are upon silk mousseline like the flat velvet flowers and are to be cut out and applied. The palllette trimmings, too, are lovelier than ever, and are made in all shadings, the opalescent, pale pink, gray and delicate blush pink being especially beautiful. All have the shimmering iridescence first associated with the opalescent palllettes, but, some uné color predominates. Heavy designs and delicate tracerles are both offered, but the delicious colorings show to best advantage in the heavily massed details. WEDDING ETIQUETTE. In spite of all precautions, the arrangements for many weddings have been neglected, and when the happy day came there was some trouble. It is make an exhaustive list of the various details which must be attended to in proper order. If it be to be a church affair, the clergyman should be asked, and the church prepared sufficiently in advance of the date set for the ceremony. Invitations or announcements should be ordered three or four weeks in advance, because delays and mistakes will happen and these should be provided against. The sexton should be interviewed, and arrangements made to have the church in good condition. He may be told to take care of the awning and carpet at the church door, and to furnish a man to open the carriage doors and to look after the checking of the vehicles. Admission cards should be collected at the door by another man, and, if possible, a policeman should be on hand to clear the passage of idlers. These men should be engaged by the sexton, who receives a fee for these services. The chief usher should carry out all the arrangements in the wedding day. The ribbons that are stretched across the alse, and the cushions on which the young people kneel, are usually supplied by the bride's family. The sexton is also asked to take charge of the decorations in the church, and the boutonnieres for the ushers. Then comes the organist. The wedding music is chosen in consultation with him. Rehearsals will probably be needed. The organist should be told of this and his services engaged for them. For a house wedding the music usually takes the form of a pianist or small stringed organ. Carriages are needed to carry the bride, bridesmaids and the bride's family to the church, and afterward to the house for the reception or breakfast. One carriage can be provided for two bridesmaids. It should be sent to their houses, then brought to the home of the bride, to follow her carriage to and from the church. The bridegroom provides any other carriages that may be required for his own use, for that of the best man and the ushers. A carriage is also placed at the disposal of the clergyman, and, when a wedding takes place in a country place, carriages are also sent to the station to meet the guests from out of town. The flowers for the bridesmids and other attendants of the bride are usually furnished by the bride. The custom of giving souvenirs is not compulsory.—Newark Advertiser. FASHION NOTES. Pinking on broadcloth is a recent innovation upon imported models. Frisson velvet, which shows a very slight waved effect like the ripple of water, is one of the latest importations in fancy velvet. Braids of all kinds are well liked and a majority of them have shir threads in their upper edges so that they may be drawn up and applied in any shape desired. Exquisitely shaded ostrich feather stoles and muffs are shown in all the popular colorings, some of the soft greens and browns being particularly effective. Shaped and stitched bands of the material make a simple but pretty finish for an afternoon suit. They outline fronts, cuffs and cape of the bolero and the edges of the skirt and of all flounces. Padding cording of silk in various sizes and in many colors is now sold in the shops, though early in the season each dressmaker who wanted it had to make her own. Two small padded silk cords, twisted together form another, trimming much in demand and applied like the single cording or real, in tangleful designs. Plack Adventure. at last no more. It was built 127 years ago, in 1777, by Henry Reynolds, a Westchester County Quaker, who, with his wife and five children, died to Orange County during the Revolution. Although a Quaker, he took up arms against the British and was one of the band of 200 under Mad Anthony Wayne who stormed and captured Stony Point. His activity in plans to rid the mountains hereabouts of the indorious Claudius Smith gang of Tories gained him their bitter enmity, and one night, in July, 1782, on the presence of being American soldiers looking for deserters, three of the most desperate of that gang, gained admittance to the Reyholds house. In the presence of his wife and his twelve-year-old daughter, Phebe, they bound and hanged Reynolds to the big iron crane of the fireplace and proceeded to ransack the house. While they were in another room Phebe cut her father down, her mother having swooned. The Torles came hurrying back and hanged Reynolds again, although the girl fought so desperately to save him that she was stabbed several times. Then they returned to their plundering, and Phebe once more succeeded in cutting her father down, and was dragging him out of the house when the Torles again interfered. The girl placed her body over that of her father as he lay on the floor in her efforts to shield him from the robbers. They stabbed father and daughter repeatedly. They at last tore Phebe from her father's body and threw it into a large chest, closing the lid, and leaving both father and child for tlend. As they departed from the house they rolled a large stone against the door. Mrs. Reynolds had recovered consciousness, and Phebe, wounded as she was, made her way to the chest, and with the aid of her mother, dragged her father out and placed him on the bed. Finding that he was still alive, the girl was starting out to summon neighbors for aid, when her mother discovered that the Tories had set fire to the house. She and Phebe succeeded in extinguishing the flames before they had gained much headway, and Phebe made all the speed she could to the nearest neighbor's, a mile away. That neighbor mounted a fleet horse, and, on his way to Goshen for a doctor, roused others, who armed themselves and started in pursuit of the Tories. When Phebe got back home her father had so far recovered as to be able to talk. The doctor arrived betimes, and found that Reynolds had received no fewer than thirty serious wounds from swords and knives, but not one of them had touched a vital spot. One of his ears was nearly severed from his head, and one arm was slashed so that it was ever after useless. Phebe was covered with wounds, nine being in the breast and head. At daylight Mrs. Raynolds gave birth to a child. The baby lived, grew to womanhood, and became the mother of one of the most prominent families in southern New York, as the wife of Dr. Blake Wales, a pioneer physician. Soon after Reynolds and Phebe recovered from their injuries he disposed of his property and removed to Sullivan County, where he became a leading citizen. He was elected to the Assembly in 1805. Phebe Reynolds married Jeremiah Drake, and became the internal head of the numerous and conspicuous Drake family of that part of the State. The Reynolds farmhouse has had many owners since. The house had been untenanted for three or four years, and had fallen into dilapidation. It was one of the landmarks of this historic region. Mrs. Elizabeth Gigroux, of New York, is the present owner of the Reynolds property.—New York Sun. THE COWARDLY SHARE Every sailor in the South Seas, declares a writer in the Washington Star, knows that the sharp is a coward. A man who has served many years in the navy tells of an experience with sharks at Tahiti. A crew of seamen gunners had obtained permission to take a beach swim, and had not given a thought to sharks, although they had seen numbers of them about the harbor. In addition to being young, writes the sailor, I was more self-confident than I've ever been since, because there wasn't a man or boy on board that could teach me anything about swimming. That's how it came about that as soon as we jumped into the water on the Papete beach I proceeded to outswim all the rest, just-to show 'em. I didn't turn to look back until I was about 300 yards from the beach. The only reason I turned around then was because I heard a lot of noise from the beach. When I turned I saw about 100 naked natives and all of the fellows from our ship lined up on the beach at the edge of the water, jumping up and down and waving their arms at me, and yelling with all their might. But I saw something, more important than that. There were it seemed to me, about a million huge swets, and shark fins between me and the beach. Some of them wasn't more than ten yards from me. I stopped and tred water and nervously slapped the surface of the water with my hands. I noticed that when I slapped the water particularly hard the sharks that were nearest to me edged back and circled at a greater distance from me. So I kept on slapping the water. The sharks were waiting for me to get tired, and they took it easy. Forty nails put out after me in one of those sixty foot, long and two foot wide canoes with the outrigger arrangement familiar in the South Seas; and in the bow of the boat and directing them was an old quartermaster from a British trading schooner in the harbor. "Splash, keep a splashing, you Yankee pup idiot!" he bawled at me as the canoe approached where. I was in the middle of the semi-circle of waiting sharks. I was a good deal scared, but as the canoe approached I noticed that all of the natives that weren't helping to pull the canoe were leanning over the side, and slapping and churning the water with all their might, and main. That settled it. The sharks dispersed like a bunch of stamped mountain goats, and I was hauled into the canoe and scolded by the British quartermaster for my folly until we pulled up on the beach. That was my first experience with the cowardice of sharks. SHE BEAR TREED HIM. L. C. Sharp, of Cleveland, Ohio, came down from the big game regions of Maine a few weeks ago on his way home. He carries with him as the result of his outing two broken ribs and a lame shoulder, which he received in an exciting encounter with a big hear in the woods not far from Lowelltown. He was one of a large party of Western sportsmen who went into the woods about two weeks before. According to Mr. Sharp, he and another member of the party started from camp after a large bull moose which they had seen. They followed the animal into a swamp, which, as nearly as they could tell, was about seven miles from camp. Upon reaching the swamp the two hunters decided to separate, going in opposite directions. Mr. Sharp said he had proceeded about: four miles alone when he came upon a large she bear. The animal stood up and looked at him awhile and then started slowly through the woods. As he had not seen anything of the moose, Mr. Sharp decided to follow the bear, and she led him a hot chase to a hill, where Mrs. Bruin disappeared in a cave among some rocks. The gunner hung around for half an hour deliberating over the matter, and was considerably surprised to see a small cub come out of the cave. He thought the cub would be good to eat, so he killed it, and as soon as the shot was fired out came the mother bear on the run and charged Mr. Sharp. He dropped his rifle and climbed, the nearest tree. The bear started up the tree after the hunter, and he fired two shots into her with his revolver, but the bullets did not stop her upward progress. Sharp kept shinning higher and the bear kept after him, and finally the combined weight of pursued and pursuer snapped the tree off and the pair went crashing to the ground. The fall broke Mr. Sharp's ribs and injured his shoulder, but completely stunned the bear. The man then found his rifle and fired two shots into the animal, killing it. Then the hunter killed two more cubs and went in search of his companion. They skinned the animals and returned to camp, but Mr. Sharp suffered so much pain that he decided to start for home—New York Sun. THE PLUCK OF THE JAPANESE. THE PLUCK OF THE JAPANESE The Japanese at the front are fighting under difficulties which would kill off most of the men in any European or American force in half the time, says Mr. William Dinwiddie, one of the special war correspondents of Harper's Weekly. He describes a fourteen hours' march made by a Japanese regiment in the battle of Kwan-sui-ten, in which 3500 men, with their guns and heavy knapsacks, a battery of mountain artillery, and all the necessary ammunition therefor on 100 led pack horses, with sixty more led animals carrying small arm ammunition for the soldiers, marched into the high angled hills, away from all roads, and away, even, from footpaths. "It was a marvelous performance, and one which, at first blush, seems impossible, for it necessitated traveling beneath the crests of the mountains, in order to be screened from the enemy. * * But they marched forward briskly and with no display of exhaustion, and were still keen to fight." OYAMA'S ADVENTURE. Field Marshal Oyama, who is in command of the Japanese armies in Manchuria, was once a pupil in the Temple Hill School at Geneseo, N. X., and Walter G. Patterson, one of Geneseo's leading residents, remembers Oyama, and relates many amusing experiences of the young Japanese, whom he describes as an understated boy of fifteen, heavy set, but bright-eyed and keen witted. "I am perhaps the first man who saw Oyama under fire," said Mr. Patterson, the other day. "One Saturday morning a crowd of students started 'atoot for a peach orchard, belonging to 'Tomp' Campbell, which was a favorite place, with the boys. While climbing a fence, Oyama was the last over. " Suddenly, Mr. Campbell appeared, with a photogram. "He took aim at Oyama, and fired a charge of rock salt into his body. Oyama stood the palmistically as one of the fortunes of war to be encountered, when sending peach orchards." OUR GIRLS AND BOYS MAKING A SPOOL ARROW Here is a gun that may be easily made and which shoots with considerable accuracy. To make this gun it will be necessary to secure some perfectly round sticks one-fourth of an inch thick that may be used as arrows. These may be purchased at hardware stores. The one thing that may appear unusual is that the trigger appears at the muzzle of the gun and not in its usual place. In place after the manner of a screw pile. Still another remarkable sponge is found in the deep water on the Lofoten Islands. It spreads out into a thin circular cake, surrounded by what looks like a fringe of white dots silk. Yet another curiosity is the "eupeptella" sponge of the Philippines, which lives embedded to its lid in the mud, and supported by a lovely frill. -Autateur Naturalist. If the following directions are carefully followed no trouble will be had in making it, otherwise the spools will not be arranged satisfactorily and trouble will follow. Take three common spools, on which thread is wound and slide them on the arrow. Hold them tightly together while you place or whittle one side of them, so that they will not roll around when laid on a smooth surface. Make the barrel and stock of the gun from an inch board six or seven inches wide and two and one-half feet long. Mark out on it the shape of the stock and leave the barrel half an inch thick. Along the top of the barrel lay the three spools with the arrow still in them. Two of them must be placed near the muzzle and have a little space between them. Bind the spools securely to the barrel, keeping the arrow in them while doing so. In binding on the spool near the stock, include the ends of a piece of strong rubber elastic. Stationery shops generally keep strips half an inch wide which are just the thing. The trigger is a small piece of tin nearly two inches long and half an inch wide. A little hole is punched in the lower corner and a short string tied to it. Next, determine the length of the arrow. Push the arrow backward against the rubber band until the band is drawn very tight. Cut off the arrow at the point between the two spools at the muzzle. Put the tin between the spools and let the arrow rest upon it. If the tin is now pulled away the arrow will be released and will fly away. Now put a screw eye into the barrel just underneath the tin. Put the thread FIRING THE SPOOL GUN. through it and tie the end onto the barrel, where it will be convenient for the fore finger of the right hand. Leave the cord slack, so that the finger can be inserted in the loop. Be careful when loading a gun like this not to point it at any one. A little slip can do damage. Lots of fun may be had with this gun if a number of boys or girls practice at a target with it. A target is best made of a newspaper having a strip of wood nailed across the top and fastened by string to a tree. Let another stick be fastened to the bottom. The person who wins will be the one who causes the paper to tear and let the bottom stick fall to the ground.—New York Evening Mall. SPONGES OF THE DEEP SEA Some of the most beautiful things that live in the ocean are the sponges of the great depth, which have often very curious and interesting forms. Not least remarkable are the so-called "sea nests," which are in the form of spheres or sometimes egr-shaped. The outer coat, of one of these specimens is a complicated network, over which a delicate membrane is spread. An ornamental frill adorns the upper part, while the lower portion throws out a maze of glossy filaments, like one white hairs. These hairs penetrate the semi-fold mud in every direction, thus holding the sponge in its place, while a continuous current of water is drawn by waving, "elia," through all parts of the maze, passing out by a hole at the top. In this manner, the animal absorbs whatever food may be about. Another singular sponge is the plate rope, which sends down the mollusk a certain size of diaphanus, as there is a building shell. The latter shows how it absorbs the moisture. In place after the manner of a screw pile. Still another remarkable sponge is found in the deep water off the Lofoten Islands. It spreads out into a thin circular cake, surrounded by what looks like a fringe of white floss silk. Yet another curiosity is the "eupecella" sponge of the Philippines, which lives embedded to its lid in the mud, and supported by a lovely frill. -Amiateur Naturalist. When Milly had written it three times on her paper, she put her hand into her pocket to feel of her lemon drop. It was big and hard and square. Then she wrote twice more: I can see the girl run fast. I can see the girl run fast. Then Miss Preston came up behind her and looked at her paper, and said, right out loud, so that all the school could hear: "Milly Lane is writing very nicely this morning." That made Milly so happy that she wanted to celebrate. She wanted to taste of her lemon-drop. The teacher was going up toward her own desk. Milly took the lemon-drop out of her pocket, held it up to her mouth, and nibbled off one little bite. The teacher turned round quickly and saw her. "Millicent Lane, you are eating candy, in school?" Now as soon as the teacher turned round, Milly slipped the lemon-drop into her mouth. It was in there now, so she could not say, "Yes, Miss Preston." She could only nod her head. "Have you any more?" Milly shook her head. "You may go into the dressing-room and stay there until I call you." Now this was the very first time that Milly had been spoken to for doing anything naughty since she began to come to school, and the term was almost over. She felt so sorry and salamed that as soon as she reached the dressing-room she gave a great sob. The big, square lemon-drop slipped right down into her throat. Another big sob, coming up, met it. The sob and the lemon-drop could not get past each other, and they made Milly cough and choke. The lemon-drop was stuck fast. Milly put one hand up to her throat, and she could feel one sharp corner pricking against the outside. It seemed as if it would make a hole right through. Oh, how she screamed! Miss Preston sent Annie Bailey, the oldest girl in school, out to see what the matter was. Annie patted Milly on the back hard, and got her a drink of water, but it did her no good. Poor Milly was so frightened that she screamed again. Miss Preston came running out, and as soon as she saw what the trouble was, she picked Milly right up in her arms, as if she were a little baby, and ran with her across the street and into a drug-store. The druggist poured out some milk into a cup, and put in some hot water. "Drink this, quick!" he said. Milly thought she could not, but Miss Preston said, "You must, quick!" As soon as the hot drink touched the lemon-drop, it began to melt. Before the drink was all down, the lemon-drop was down, too, and Milly's throat was all right, except that it felt queer for the rest of the day. "Please 'scuse me for eating candy, in school." she said. Miss Preston kissed her. "I don't think you will ever forget this lesson," she said. "The lesson?" said Milly. "Why I remember just how it looks now." "I can see the girl run fast," she said. —Eannie Wilder Brown, in Outback Companion. Breakfast Twice on Sundays! "We have a different class of, surely, customers' Sunday morning then, our week days," said a man who runs a "never-closed" coffee house in the boarding house district near Greens Square: "They are men who get as early Sundays as they do other days of the week and who cannot wait for the customary late. Sunday breakfast in their boarding house." With they come out to buy their newspapers and get a abave they pop in for a cup of coffee and a couple of cappuccino as they until a 9:30 de 10.00 Friday fast." To some of them a dwelling of ten cents, we both have the same so that then can take a coffee home to whip, who needs to buy a New York Press newspaper. >>, SS BIO NAN So ter SSH OES Mee SP MI EER Ae RPE CL eA * - oe oe eras teres te OE eB ge Bhe “% ; a OS Se es Ae i Sad, Spee TO, sAVaiiNE z ¥ i, Tae a a yet SS eo ES RS ecrecat SUPE .TO.SAVANNAH TRIBUNE, SATURDAY/JANUARY:21,1905: 7 2k “5. + EF S* Gc de HeeNR EET ah RGAE SIO — & heme: : woes ee Sneneht to aids itleboy," ey RHE SeRLLNBER (rh.

Among the heavy losers were a Bos- ton lawyer, who parted with $25,000; #1 tobacco millionaire, who mourned $40,- | 000; 2 New York umbrella manufactur- er, stwindled of $8000, and three Balti- | more merchants, whose bavk balances | were depleted by a fotal‘of $20,000. Att these, aad many other large sums, were obtained In easly, paid dowa “in a lump,” making the industry singu- larly attractive, because there was no delay, and tke gentlemanly operators were always in funds 0 cover thelr tracks or to pay Inwyers'if the trait be- came warm. In all these cases the victims, who were prominent men in thelr business and fluancial communl- thes, tvere) swindled by the same plot, worked ‘In the same way, With only 2 change of scene, ‘The program usually opened with the Insertion of this advertisement in the most conservative of the newspapers of the city marked for the next cam- palgn: “A man with $5000 can make $S000 In three days; absolutely no risk; full- est Investigation invited; no agents; must be taken at once.” ‘The balt was nearly always swal- lowed, and a letter to the address mentioned brought au immediate call by a gentlemaply and solid looking person, who was polite, but business- like, He sald: “I do not wish to appear rude, but you must show me that you have the ‘sum of money mentioned. I have re- celved so many other answers to my Advertisement that I have no fime for, triflers.” 4 ‘When the fiscal agent was assured that the cash was in sight, the compll- eated"machinery began to work, In the Park Row Building, New York. there were handsome offices Iabeled “The Horse Shoe Copper Mining Com- pany pf Arizona.”, This was a reat concern, with tangible assets. But these offices were also the headquar- ters of the “Horse Shoe Mining Com- pany,” a corporation of mythical val- ue, used only as a trap for victims. The Arizova company had reputable offe- ers, among them former Postmaster Wilson, of Brooklyn, but they were ig- norait of the existence arid purpose of the other “Harse Shoe Company.” ‘There were a bright young man with a past, with an able assistarit who had a picture in the Rogues’ Gallery, as the President and Secretary of both com- panies, having secured reputable names for the directorate of the “Horse Shoe Copper Miving Company." The two organizations were needed in the plot. THE WAY IT IS DONE, ‘When the victhin was found. the scheme was unfolded by the geutle- manly operator after this fashion: “I have a brother who bas been an engineer for the Horse Shoo Copper Mining Company of Arizona, A letter came from him a few days ago, telling me that a rich veln bad been struck which is sure to make the stock soar, We a skyrocket when the news Is' known. The officers of the company are bnying up all the stocks they can lay thelr hands on, on the dead quiet. My brother informed me that there Is a man in the clty who was formerly ati engineer with the company, who was given 500 shares of the stogk for his services when the stock was prac tically worthless. ‘This man ts penn}- less, he knows nothing about the pres- Cee ee eee ee ee a. a Garkened room, his head swathed, tn bandages, and in ‘such pain that con: versation was an effort. The pitifal wreck ‘enlisted the sympathy of the caller, who was willing, however, to buy his mining stock‘at'a sacrifice. The sick engineer acktiowledged that he had 600 shares of the stock, and from under the matiress produced a certif. ieate worn and crumbled. When asked the price, he saidz “I've been hanging onto this stuff for a fong time, and although it is not worth much ndw, I believe there's money In that mine some day, ‘and I am not at all anxious to sell. But I am sick, and down and out, and I mak¢ tiny old sacrifice for ready -cash.” CLOSING THE BARGAIN, |, Asked to ret a price, he “usually ‘hamed $15 a‘share. With a wink to the victim, the other ¢aller sald: “Oh, it Jen’t worth it. You know ft {sn't.” After a lot of baggling, tho deal was closed at $19-a share. The purchaser was unwilling to: believe in his good fortune, so he rushed to the nearest telegraph office and wired the offices of the “Horse Shoe Copper Mining Com- pany.” ‘The reply always came back, “Twenty-five dollars offered.” "Then the machinery began to whizz. ‘The pirchaser liastentd to the head- quarters of the company in the Park Row Bulldidg; ahd presented the stock, expected td clear $7500 by-a turn of the hand, Here his experlence became dis- heartening. ‘The polite President or the soft-spoken Secretary was encour- aging at the outset: “Why, certainly, we are ready and glad to pay the price agreed upon for the shares. A check will be drawn at once. Let us see the stock. Five hundred shares, do you say? 1g ‘Then the face of the offical clouded with disappointment. “why, said be, “these’ are not shares of the Horse Shoe Copper Min- ing Company, but of the Horse Shoe Mining Company, a New Jersey corpo- ration, absolutely worthless. We thought all the while thst you had Snapped up the 500 outstanding shares ot the Horse Slioe Copper Miniog Com- pany of Arizona. You have been vic- thmized, my dear sir. I advise you to see the pollce at once.” These details sound a bit confusing, and they were intended to fuddie the Intellect of the victim. In a few words, the Arizona Company, with “Copper” inserted in Its title, was a reai corpora- tion, whose: officers were using it to promote “their own professional rogu- ery, and they\would have picked out any other mining company as readily, If tliey could have found a directorate as unsuspecting and careless as the gentlemen who were reputably inter- ested in the Horse Shoe Copper Min- ing Company. The Cleverest part of the plot, a tolich rising to the level of genlas, lay in the fact that there was nlso incorporated, on paper, this second “Horse Shoe” compaay, with a New Jersey charter, and its only mission on earth was to further the schemes of the “Sick Engineer” gang. ‘This deyice caused the police no end of trouble and perplexity, for when the conspirators were arrested in Baltt- more, Inst year, they were able to set up a defense that*made conviction im- possible at that time. It was alleged that the victim had been the loser sole- ly by his own blunder in buying stock ot the “sick engineer,” whieh stock was not that of the company from which he had received the glittering promises, It is not impossible that an eager investor, dazzled by the sight of qulck profits, should have-confused the “Horse Shoe Copper Mining Company” with the “Horse Shoe Mining Com- pany.” THE GAME PLAYED IN PARIS. On the surface of things, the victim | nad no redress, for he could not prove that the officers of the “Horse Shoe Copper Mining Company” had any con- nection with the swindje, When be went gunning for the “sick engineer,” the bird had flown, suddenly convales- cent, and in some secluded corner was lividing the profits with his very good friends, the rest of the “cast.” It was . matter of two years before thé po- Ice could obtain evidence to connect he two concerns and their operators. The first complete exposure of the ‘sick engineer” swindle was made by he writer of this article, as a repor- orlal assignment for a New, York 1ewspaper.—Collier’s Weekly. ‘The Kind He Liked Best., Governor Chamberlalsi, of Coinectl- cut, when at the Fifth Avenue Hotel recently, told the following stéry: A very deaf old gentleman wag asked to a dinner party, and a lady present was urged to help him along in the conversation.

No matter how comfortable a soft bed and large, soft pillows may~be, they are not healthful, and womer es- peclalfy would do well to avoid them, for they assist materializ in sajuring her physteal appearance. When the body sinks down in a soft bed a con- siderable portion of the skin is-robbed of its proper ventilation and the’ elt- culation 1s interfered with. It also helps to make the museles flabby.- - * A.hard bed will make the flesh firmer and the form must, therefore, appear somewhat better as a result. The large pillows are not good to sleep on be- cause the head 1s tco: high when it ests on them, and, this prevents that deep, regular breMhing which gives gooil Inngs and {n consequence a bet- ter appearance to the bust and shoul- ders. = One ought always to sleep on the left side, and preferably, with the arms at the back. This may be a little awkward at first, but as soon’ as one becomes acgistomed to ft she will find it not only the most restful and easy, but the position in which sleep s more easily Jndueed. The pillow ought to, of course, be small and the bed hard, or at least firm. The body fs then in’ the correct position for sleeping and’ for helping the physical appearance of the person while at rest. ‘The arms at the back throw the chest forward, make the shoulders broader and the back straighter, so that ma- terfal assistance toward a good car- rlage {s thus obtained.

Thursday was Lee's birthday. It was mainly observed by the military. Mr. J. H. Deycaux, Jr., has returned to Hampton, after a pleasant stay in the city. Mr. J. H Moultrie has been appointed as solicitor for THE TRIBUNE. Courtesies shown him will be appreciated. Mrs. Amelia Ward of No. 620 Waldburg street west, has been very sick with rheumatism for some time. Her many friends wish for her improvement. Mr. Stephen Jenkins who has been seriously ill is much improved and will soon be able to resume his duties. Mr. Albert A. Ashton after an illness of some length, died on Thursday night last. Mr. Ashton was a young man of brilliant mind. He was a clerk at the post office until his physician compelled him to seek rest The Sunday School. Union of the Berean Baptist Sunday School Convention will meet on Wednesday night next at the Second Baptist church. Mr. L. M. Mercherson of Bryan county was in to see us on Monday last. Mr Mercherson has done good work for THE TRIBUNE in his county which is very much appreciated. Miss Annie Willie Spellman wishes to inform her many friends that she is now residing on Sims street, near Union Station. Miss Lula Walls of Elberton, Ga. was married to Mr Willie Alexander of Atlanta, on Jan. 5, at the home of the bride. The happy couple is in the city visiting the mother of the bride, Mrs. Wm. Stovall, on Minis street. The entertainment of the Y. G. E. A. and S. C., at the Harris street ball on Monday night last was an enjoyable affair. The music was one of the features and the committee left nothing undone that would lessen the pleasure of the guests. A number of our subscribers have remitted their indebtedness, and many of those in the city, especially the class that does wait for the collector to call, have visited the office and paid their subscription. They are the ones who help to make proper history for the race. Mr. E. G. Tate, an old Savannahian, but now of Hot Springs, Va, arrived in the city last week and is stopping with Mr. and Mrs. E B. Roberts. Mr. Tate left here in 1896 for Hampton where he matriculated until going to Hot Springs four years ago. He is conducting a flourishing tailoring business at that place. Mr Tate will spend about three weeks in the city. Mrs. R. L. Barnes, Grand Worthy Counsellor of the Grand Court I. O. O. O. went to Ambrose, Ga. to organize a new court this week. Under the administration of Mrs. Barnes as Grand Worthy Counsellor. The Grand Court is making rapid stride. She will be able to render a glowing report in July.

Armstrong made a trip last week to Waycross in the interest of his company. While there he lifted a mortgage for one of the stock holders for $302.00. He also paid one death claim and four sick claims amounting to $40.00, or more and reports business generally good throughout that section. The company recently opened an office in that city where they have about 500 members in the insurance and several stock holders. The Company paid four death claims in Savannah and the sick list amounted to-more than $100 during the same week. A runaway almost ending fatally, started a horrible ulcer on the leg of J B. Oner, Franklin Grove, Ill. For four years it defied all doctors and all remedies. But Bucklen's Armica Salve had no trouble to cure him.

Because, there is not one solitary meeting place in Savannah where young colored men may go at all times to spend the time profitably by reading wholesome literature and plenty of fresh current news. The above statement is of little significance to one who merely glances at it, but, if one will only investigate it upon its merits, it will prove to be of great import. However mere statements count for little, let us have the facts. According to the U. S. Census 1900, Savannah has 54,244 people. It is reasonable to say that one half or 27,122 persons of this number are colored. It will be interesting to see how many colored men of military age(18 to 44yrs) are in Savannah. I use this period of years, because the majority of Y. M. C. A. workers come within this period. According to Mayor Smith in his "Statistics and Sociology" (page 47.), 21.1 per cent or about one fifth of the total population of the United States is of military age., It is reasonable therefore to say that about one-fifth of 27,122 (total colored population in our city) or about 5,400 colored men of military age are in Savannah. When we think of the meager school advantages which many of this number have had; when we see multitudes of them living in ignorance filth, and idleness; when we know that these 5,000 men are thrown upon the community to either elevate or degrade; and worst of all, when we see that daily the chaingang continues to draw many fresh recruits from this number, who would never have gotten into the toils of the law, if they had open to them a cozy room where they could spend their time profitably by reading good literature I say it does not require a magnifying glasses or a book of exposition to cause the most densely ignorant person to see that there is a burning need of a Y. M. C. A. in our city. I boldly declare that many young men of our city find their way to lives of misfortune, misery or death in low dives, bar rooms and questionable places, not because they are vicious, criminal or naturally bad, but because they have no other places of meeting. "What is good for the Goose is not always good for the Gander" is a true saying; but when we see the advantages the 5,000 white men in our city enjoy with their Y. M. C. A., Y. M. H. A., and C. L. A., I think these organizations are good for both Goose and Gander. "Nuf—Sed" Officers Installed. Household of Ruth No. 438, G. U. O. of O. F., held its Annual Installation of elected and appointed officers Jan. 11, as follows: Annual—Mrs. R Ethel Wright, Worthy Recorder; Mrs. C. O. Houston, Worthy Treasurer; Miss Etta McIntosh, Worthy Prelate; Mr. G. H. Ralph, Worthy Counsel; Trustees: Prof. Jno. McIntosh, Dr. L. S Parks and Mrs. S. A. Williams. Semi-annual—Miss L.

A very choice and well prepared collation was served under direction of the Most Noble Governor Mrs. Carrie Thurman. St. Phillips Dots. Last Sunday was so very cold our congregation, was not as large as usual and Rev. Sims was very much indisposed from Lagrippe, not with-standing he preached two very good sermons. Our fifty cent rally on Sunday did not come up our usual rallies. We want to cancel our outstanding debts before we begin our year's work. We are to have our annual big rally on the fourth Sunday in February and Rev J. W. Carr and his congregation have promised to assist us on that day and will attend services in a body at 3 p.m. We want our friends to come out and help us. We hope before any distant day to begin on the erection of an edifice that will be a credit to our congregation and city. 'The usual services will be held on Sunday. Escaped an Awful Fate. Mr. H. Haggins of Melbourne, Fla., writes, "My doctor told me I had Consumption and nothing could be done for me. I was given up to die. The offer of a free trial bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery for consumption, induced me to try it. Results were startling. I am now on the road to recovery and owe all to Dr. King's New Discovery. It surely saved my life." This great cure is guaranteed for all throat and lung diseases by all Druggists. Price goes & $100 Trial Bottle free. Second Baptist Church. Services at the 2d Baptist church last Sunday were well attended. At 11 o'clock Rev. Smith delivered quite an interesting discourse, in fact that discourse was considered to be the best.during Rev. Smith's pastorate. At 3 o'clock Rev. Carr delivered a discourse and his congregation was also present and presented the church with a neat sum. At 8 o'clock Rev. Smith addressed the U. S. Grant Ladies Branch, they also presented a neat sum to the church. The rally was indeed a success and too much praise cannot be given the various pastors and churches that assisted this grand old church in an effort to cancel its indebtedness. The B. Y. P. U. was organized last Sunday and the young people are invited to attend the meetings at 6:30 Sunday evening. The Home Mission was organized last Monday, and the members are indeed elated-over the success which has crowned Rev. Smith's efforts. Rev. Smith is indeed an indefatigible worker, and has done much good for the church during his short pastorate here. The rally will continue during the entire month and the amount will be announced on the first Sunday in February. In Memoriam. Miss Etta L. McClure departed this life Friday evening January 13th, 1905. A short but sweet life has passed away. She was loved by all her friends. She was a graduate of the E. Broad Street School of this city. She was also an active member of St. Athanasius Episcopal church of Brunswick, Ga. She was buried from that church Sunday, January 15th, 1905. Let us hope that she is enjoying a peaceful rest.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—A while ago my health began to fall because of female troubles. The doctor did not help me. I remembered that my mother had used Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound on many occasions for irregularities and uterine troubles, and I felt sure that it could not harm me at any rate to give it a trial. "I was certainly glad to find that within a week I felt much better, the terrible pains in the back and side were beginning to ease, and at the time of inexperience I did not have nearly as serious a time as heretofore, so I continued its use for two months, and at the end of that time I was like a new woman.

A Well Deserved Tribulik: The awarding of the Grand Prize to the Winchester Regiment is New Haven, Conn.; at the St. Louis Exposition, centra upon this company the highest mark of distinction attained by any manufacturer of guns or ammunition in the world. Although a great number of medals were given, the only award of a Grand Prize was the Army of the Arms Co.; given as it was in competition with the leading manufacturers of all countries, it testifies decidedly to the superiority of Winchester rifles, shotguns and ammunition. The success attained by the Winchester Repeating Arms Co. at this time is the result of the Paris Exposition they received the Grand Prize, and wherever exhibited have always been given the highest possible prizes. This latest recognition of superiority is the natural result of thirty years of careful and successful endeavor in maintaining the high quality of Winchester rifles, shotguns and ammunition.

LASTING RELIEF. J. W. Walls, Super-intendent of Streets of Lebanon, Ky., says: "My nightly rest was broken, owing to irregular action of the kidneys. I was suffering intensely from severe pain in the small of my back and through the kidneys and annoyed by painful passages of abnormal secretions. No amount of doctoring relieved this condition. I took Doan's Kidney Pills and experienced quick and lasting relief. Doan's Kidney Pills will prove a blessing to all sufferers from kidney disorders who will give them a fair trial."

A Long Train Cordale, Ga., Jan. 3.—The Atlantic & Birmingham railroad ran Saturday what was probably the longest train of cars even seen in Georgia, operated by a single engine. The train was made up of one hundred and two cars, loads and empties, and was drawn to Fitzgerald from Brunswick, at a good rate of speed by one of the company's new monster locomotives. The train was broken up at Fitzgerald, where several branches of the road diverge, after the officials of the road were thoroughly satisfied that the big engines would do all that was claimed for them by the manufacturers. The train was nearly a mile and a quarter long, including the engine and caboose.—Macon Telegraph.

Defying the Flend Two Baltimore architects have drawn plans for a building entirely without wood. It is to be built for Mr. Hilgenburg, who does not wish to be burned out again. It will be six stories and will have a frontage of forty-one feet six inches. The entire structure is to be reinforced concrete and steel. Eyen the doors, trims, window gashes and door jams are to be of metal. The windows will be glazed with wire glass. The frame for the show windows will be of steel, into which the plate glass will be fitted. The side walls, columns and rear walls as well as the supporting columns of the front walls will be of, concrete. The floors will all have a top dressing of cement one and a half inches thick. The stair will be of concrete, with slate treads and wrought iron balustrades. The elevator shaft will be of concrete, as will also the inclosure around the stairway and the elevator hall. The cellar and roof are to be of cement. In order to eliminate all wood the two flagstaffs on top of the structure will be of steel. If this mass of metal, stone and cement can be crumbled or destroyed by fire, the struggle for an absolutely fireproof structure might as well stop—Minneapolis Journal. Corregole and Hla Life. Little is known of Correggio, which would argue that he was of a retiring disposition. He was born in the little-town of Correggio, twenty-four miles from Parma. In the latter city he was educated, but in his seventeenth year an outbreak of the plague drove his family to Mantua. By 1514 he was back in Parma. For some years he worked here and painted many famous pictures. It may have been because of grief over the death of his young wife, but at the age of thirty-six, indifferent to fame and fortune, he retired to the little town where he was born. All that is known regarding his death is the date, March 5, 1534.—Charles H. Caffin, in St. Nicholas. `MIGHT HAVE SAVED IT.` A little boy of eight years whose parents did not feed him on the right kind of food, was always nervous and suffered from a weak condition of the stomach and bowels. Finally he was taken down with appendicitis and after the operation the doctor, knowing that his intestinal digestion was very weak, put him on Grape-Nuts twice a day. He rapidly recovered and about two months thereafter, his Father states, "He has grown to be strong, muscular, and sleeps soundly, weighs 62 pounds, and his whole system is in a fine condition of health." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. It is plain that if he had been put on Grape-Nuts at an earlier period in his life, and kept from the use of foods that he could not digest, he never would have had appendicitis. That disease is caused by undigested food decaying in the stomach and bowels, causing irritation and making for the growth of all kinds of microbes, setting up a diseased condition which is the active cause of appendicitis, and this is more marked with people who do not properly digest white-bread. Grape-Nuts is made of the selected parts of wheat and barley and by the peculiar processes of the cooking at the factory, all of the starch is turned into sugar ready for immediate digestion and the more perfect nourishment of all parts of the body, particularly the brain and nerve centres.

The Subility of an Expert Trainer's Judgment of His Beasts. ) When the Tiger Princess was going to give up one of her old performers because he was getting suky and pevish, Sterrett looked over the troupe and said: "That one is all right, but the one over there id the corner will bear watching." "Why, the man talks like a fool," said the princess. "That's Zulka. She is the best actor I've got." Sterrett laughed. "Train an understudy," he advised. "I'll give Zulka three weeks to retire from the stage. She's good bad." Zulka was a very beautiful young lioness; one of the best trick beasts I've ever known and one of the very few that seemed to have a genuine affection for the trainer. As a rule the felines don't exhibit the softer emotions. They feel for men either indifference or distaste. But this lioness used to show signs of pleasure when her mistress entered the cage, and I've seen her put her muzzle up against the bars to fawn on the queen. Two weeks after Sterrett's advice, to which we paid little heed (that was when I knew less about him than I subsequently learned), I saw the lioness caressing the woman at the close of the performance. As the Tiger Princess entered the cage the next day there was a snarl and a stream and she was down. Zulka had her. Fortunately some of us were near. We beat the animals off—of course, some of the other beasts had to pitch in, seeing their tyrant down—and got the woman out with no worse injury than a broken arm and a badly clawed back.
