VOL. XX. BEEF TRUST BIFFED Supreme Court Brands Meat Combine a Conspiracy. GOES AGAINST PACKERS Victory for Government Complete, Says Attorney General Moody. Strengthens the Sherman Anti-Trust Law. A Washington special says: The supreme court of the United States Monday decided the case of the United States vs. Swift & Co., known as the beef trust, charging conspiracy among the packers to fix prices on fresh meats, etc. The opinion was handed down by Justice Holmes and affirmed the decision of the court below, which was against the packers. In his opinion Justice Holmes* discussed at length the various contents of the packers and disposed of them individually. He admitted that some of the charges were less specific than desirable, but said this was necessarily true, on account of the vast, extent of the field covered. He added that sufficient cause had been shown to prove continued offenses and an offense of such a nature to justify the proceeding. The opinion continued the injunction granted against the packers under the Sherman anti-trust law by the lower courts. The opinion was concurred in by all the members of the court. Summarizing the bill, Justice Holmes says: "It charges a combination of a dominant proportion of the dealers in fresh meat throughout the United States not to bid against each other in the live stock markets of the different states, to bid up prices for a few days in order to induce cattlemen to send their stock to the stock yard, to fix prices at which they will sell and to that en dto restrict shipments of meat when necessary, to establish a uniform rule of credit to dealers and to keep a black list, to make uniform and proper charges for cartage and finally to get less than lawful rates from the railroads to the exclusion of competitors." Referring to the allegation of lack of continuity in the charges, he said: "Whatever may be thought concerning the proper construction of the statute, a bill in equity is not to be read and construed as an indictment would have been read and construed a hundred years ago, but it is to be taken to mean what it fairly conveys to a dispassionate reader by a fairly exact use of English speech. Thus read, this bill seems to us intended to allege successive elements of a single connected scheme." He disposed of the charge of "multifarioungness" in the following language: "The _____, as a whel, seems to be within reach of the law. The constituent elements, as we have stated them, are enough to give to the scheme a body and, for all that we can say, to accomplish it. Moreover, whatever we may think of them separately, when we take them up as distinct charges, they are alleged sufficiently as elements of the scheme. "It it is suggested that the several acts charged are lawful and that intent can make no difference. But they are bound together as the parts of a single plan. The plan may make the parts unlawful. Intent is almost essential to such an attempt. Where acts are not sufficient in themselves to produce a result, which the law seeks to prevent—for instance, the monopoly—but require further acts in addition to the mere forces of nature to bring that result to pass, an intent to bring it to pass is necessary in order to produce a dangerous probability that it will happen." KILLED THREE AND SUICIDED. Quadruple Tragedy in a Gambling "Jolnt" at Nogales, Arizona. One of the worst tragedies in the history of southern Arizona, in which four men lost their lives, occurred in the border town of Nogales early Friday. Wall Walters, a gambler, entered the saloon owned by M. M. Conn, walked to the poker table and, without a word of warning, drew a revolver and opened fire, killing three men. He then turned the revolver on himself and sent a bullet through his own BRITONS AGAIN ANGERED Her Consul and Vice-Consul at Warsaw, Russia, Attacked by Soldiers During Strike Melee. A London special says: The foreign office has received a telegram from Consul General Murray at Warsaw, Russia, reporting that himself and Vice Consul Mukhain, who is a Russian subject, were charged by Russian cavalry engaged in clearing the streets of Warsaw. It appears that Mr. Murray is partially deaf and probably did not hear the approach of the troopers, and when he subsequently endeavored to make known his personality it was without avail. Representations were at once made by Ambassador Hardinge to the Russian government, which demanded that the governor general of Warsaw institute strict inquiry into the incident. His majesty's ambassador also sent Colonel Napier, the military attacke, to Warsaw to report on the subject. At the foreign office there is evident apprehension of another popular anti-Russian outburst, and while diplomats say there is no doubt that full satisfaction will be given for the affair, the newspapers are unanimous in condemnation of Russia and attribute all incidents to anti-British sentiment. It was intimated that these accumulative evidences of hostility, whether accidental or intentional, are causing much apprehension, and that it will be necessary for the Russian government to give full and prompt explanation or otherwise popular sentiment in the United Kingdom might create a serious situation. Regarding the affair, a St. Petersburg a dispatch says: New complications between Great Britain and Russia are reared on account of the attack on the British consul and vice consul at Warsaw Saturday night. Coming on the heels of the placards posted by Assistant Police Chief Roudneff, accusing the British of assisting the revolutionists of Russia, the Warsaw incident may be the source of another outburst in Great Britain, which may again strain relations between the two countries. Beyond the fact from the attack at Warsaw, resulting in the wounding of the British vice consul who is now in a hospital, the British embassy here has no details of the affair, but Sir Charles Hardinge, the British ambassador, has already delivered a note to Foreign Minister Lamsdott, asking for an immediate investigation and explanation, reserving any claim which may be hereafter made and at the same time asking for protection of British consuls throughout the empire. By the first train he also dispatched Major Napler, the British military attache, to Warsaw, to secure a full report on the circumstances EXTRA SESSION THREATENED. President Insists That Congress Act Upon His Pet Measure. President Roosevelt has put the republican senators on notice that he will call an extra session of congress early in March unless he gets action on it's pet measures during this session. This warning was given a delegation of senators who called at the white house Monday. The president summoned them to inquire if there was any prospects ahead for railroad rate legislation, a greater navy program and the arbitration treaties. On being informed that the prospects were exceedingly poor, the president banged his fist against the table and exclaimed: "Then you may get ready to stay here all summer, for I will call the new congress in extra session within five days after adjournment March 4. The country wants this legislation and the country shall have it." THOUSANDS WERE KILLED. In Recent Fighting Russians Lost 10 000, and Jaws Half That Number. 600, and Japs Hail That Number. A Tokio special, undre Monday's date, says: The casualties during the fighting at Chenchiedpo and Heikouta are estimated at 5,000 on the side of the Japanese and 10,000 on the Russian side. CRISIS FEARED IN POLAND. Situation Throughout the Country is Increasing in Seriousness. The latest reports reaching St. Petersburg depict the situation throughout Poland as increasingly serious. Minor collisions between the troops and police and the populace continue to swell the number of dead. Railroads and industries are completely at a standstill and the presence of thousands of idle workmen who have been out of employment for months, and are starving and desperate, adds a factor of the greatest danger. SAVANNAH, GA.. SATURDAY FEBRUARY 4 1905. SLAVS BEATEN OFF Five Hundred Officers and Men Taken Prisoners—Rustians Didn't Drive the Japs from Town of San- depas as Reported. Telegraphic advices received in Toklo Sunday from the Japanese Man- churian headquarters say: "Our detachment occupied Llutlako yesterday (Saturday), and was twice counter-attacked by a superior force of the enemy last night. We entirely replused the enemy." "Our detachment at dawn today (Sunday) attacked the enemy in the neighborhood of Eltsaahotszu, about two miles north of Helkoutal, and occupied the position. The enemy fiercely counter-attacked our force, which assailed Helkoutal last night, but was repulsed entirely. Today our force occupied the neighborhood of Helkoutal. "The enemy in the direction of Lui-tako and Helkoutal has entirely retreated to the right bank of the Hun river. Our force is now pursuing them. "In the direction of Chenchlehpao and Likajentan, the enemy made several attacks last night, but were repulsed. The enemy attacking these points belonged to the eighth and the tenth corps. "In the direction of Helkoutal the enemy is composed of the first and mixed, corps of infantry, together with a cavalry division under General Mlstchenko. "We captured 500 officers and men. "The casualties on both sides are under investigation." A St. Petersburg special, under Monday's date, says: Instead of confirmation of Saturday night's report that General Kuropatkin had broken through the Japanese left, there came Lieutenant General Sakharoff's official admission that the Russians had been compelled to retire from Sandepus on account of their inability to carry a redoubt. It is also significant that dispatches from Russian correspondents at the front have again suddenly ceased, which is regarded as an indication of the failure of the operation and strengthens the first impression that it was a demonstration undertaken to distract the people at home from the political situation. The Russians lost about 1,000 men in the fighting at Sandepus. Disorders Increase at Warsaw, Rusla, But Quiet Brides in Moscow. But Quiet Rights in movies. The strike, disorders in Warsaw, Russia, are becoming more serious. The ordinary life of the city is quite suspended. On Saturday the strikers stopped the street railway service, but remained otherwise orderly. Sunday, however, they began a wholesale pillage. The majority of the shops in Marshal Kovski street and the state vodka shops were looted. All the factories, shops, schools and theaters are closed, and the street lamps are extinguished. There have been several collisions between the police and strikers and many arrests have been made. Peace abiding inhabitants are terror stricken. At Moscow the strike is considered to be practically over. A blizzard has rendered excellent service to the authorities in keeping the people indoors, and there was not the slightest disorder Sunday on the part of the strikers. The authorities, however, had taken exceptional precautions to avoid the assemblage of crowds. Even the Sunday markets were closed. Strong pickets were posted all over the city, inside the factories and outside. There are about 300,000 troops in the city. STAND BY ROOSEVELT. Democrats in Congress Are Solidly for Revision of Railroad Bates. Revision of Railroad Rates The agricultural appropriation bill was considered in the house Thursday, but the debate turned principally on the topic of restricting the railroads in the matter of freight rates. A feature of the debate was the statement by Mr. Williams of Mississippi, who said that on the subject of revision of rates the democratic party was committed without addition or subtraction to the recommendations of President Roosevelt in his recent message. WAS OFFERED BRIBE Senator Bard Makes Serious Charges Against Catholics. California Senator Was Promised Political Support for His Influence if He Would Aid in Diverting A Washington dispatch says: Sensational disclosures in relation to the alleged use of Indian trust funds for the support of sectarian schools were made Monday by Senator Bard in a statement to the senate committee on Indian affairs. In addition to the charge that Roman Catholic schools have received 98 per cent of the money expended under contracts made by the Indian commissioner, the senator said that he had been approached by a representative of a Catholic association with a promise of carrying a certain stated number of districts in California for him in return for his influence in bringing about a continuance of such favorable contracts. The statement of Senator Bard created a stir in the committee and he was asked to give a detailed account of the transaction as well as any other matters relating to the use of trust funds for sectarian school purposes, on which he was informed. He filed with the committee a statement covering the conversation and also a list of the districts the Catholic association proposed to carry for him. He then discussed the statement of S. M. Brosius, agent of the Indian Rights Association, and also quoted from a circular issued by M. K. Sniffen, secretary of the association, charging that the discrimination in favor of Roman Catholics was by direction of the president. Senator Bard said he attached more importance "to the act of June 7, 1897, which declared that it was the settled policy of the government to hereafter make no appropriation whatever for education in any sectarian school." The senator stated that he had been informed that there was no record at the interior department of authority for the diversion of these trust funds to the support of Catholic missions, but he had the statement that it was done on an oral order, which agents of the Indian Rights Association allege to have been issued by the president. The committee took the statement seriously, and it was the sentiment that at the next meeting the amendment would be offered to the Indian appropriation bill prohibiting in the future the use of the Indian trust funds in the manner charged. Senator Bard said he had been informed that a very small percentage of the Indians interested gave their consent to the application of their frends to the support of sectarian schools, and that a large majority of the Indians were communicants in the various Protestant churches located within the various reservations. TREMENDOUS AUTO SPEED. One Hundred Miles Covered in One Hour and Twenty-six Minutes. At Ormond, Fla., a world's record for motor cars has been made for 100 miles. H. W. Fletcher, driving an 80-horse power car, covered the distance Monday in one hour, twenty-six minutes and three-eights of a second, and average of 43 2-5 seconds a mile, and beating all other contestants by about three minutes. Ten of the fastest cars started in the race. Cossacks Murder a Girl. At St. Petersburg Tuesday evening the police surprised a meeting of strikers in a tavern and fired, killing a girl and wounding four-other persons. War Office at Washington Details Lieut. Rucker of 16th Infantry. A Washington dispatch says: The secretary of war Tuesday decided to detach from the sixteenth infantry at Fort McPherson, Lieutenant L. S. D. Rucker, Jr., and place film in charge of the Georgia state troops as special officer for instruction. The request for this assignment was made by Governor Terrell and Senator Clay called at the war department to put the request before Secretary Taft. The request was granted and the orders will be lashed at once. Beef Trust Must Toe the Mark, and Comply with Edict of Highest Court in the Land. A Washington dispatch says: It can be said by authority that unless the corporations constituting the alleged "beef trust" shall heed the injunction made permanent by the decision of the supreme court of the United States Monday, the government will institute proceedings against the individual members, of the corporations to enforce the decision of the court. The proceedings will be under criminal law if such can be instituted. The minds of the president and members of his cabinet are made up fully on the question. They have determined that the "beef trust" shall obey the law, and now that the highest court in the land has upheld the hands of the administration, it is said they will permit no further "dilly dalyling" with the subject. At Thursday's cabinet meeting the president and Attorney General Moody shared in the congratulations of the members of the cabinet on the result of the "beef trust" case before the supreme court. The president, who made no attempt to conceal his satisfaction at the decision of the court, united with the members of the cabinet in congratulating the attorney general. The subject was considered briefly at the meeting, but no definite conclusion was reached as to what action, if any, the government would take in the future, except the general determination to enforce the law as it has been construed by the supreme court. The president and the members of the cabinet regard the decision of the supreme court as a signal triumph of law as they have viewed it, and have carried it into effect absolutely. THINK·WOMAN DID DEED. Concensus of Opinion That Mrs. Kirby Murdered, Family, and Ruled. inherited Family and Custody It is now believed that the Kirby, tragedy near Wauchula, Fla., was caused by the wife and mother. Here is the story as now being told: John Kirby, his wife and four children, who met death recently, came to Wauchula last October from Blount county, Alabama. They recently moved into a single room house, 12 by 20 feet, with one door and one window. The family were quite poor and had become somewhat despondent. Between 8 and 9 p. m. January 24, fire was seen coming out of the house by Mr. Harrell, the father-in-law, who lived across an open field about a quarter of a mile distant. He ran to the house, found the door and window closed and fire coming out through cracks and through the roof. The fire was so hot he could not get to the door or the window. He called several times, but no one answered. He never heard at any time a sigh nor a moan from the inside of the house. When the side of the house fell in, he saw some of the people inside, but they did not stir. There had been a gallon of kerosene oil taken to the house on the day before. When the house was burnt down the kerosene can was found unexploded. The man's skull and that of the oldest boy, 13 years old, were both broken in on the side. The woman's skull was intact. The skulls of the three smaller children are entirely burned. All the family evidently perished on their beds except the wife and one child. A hammer was found not far from where Mrs. Kirby lay. The concensus of opinion is that she did the deed, using the kerosene oil to fire the house and then took her own life. Panama Appoints Consuls. President Amador of Panama has made the following appointments: C. Gilbert Wheeler, to be consul at Chicago; James R. Shaler, formerly an intendent of the Panama railroad, to be consul at Chattanooga, Tenn. "I WILL GET JUSTICE ABOVE." Was Declaration of McCue When Told Appeal Was Denied. The Virginia supreme court of appeals has, denied the supplementary appeal in the appeal of ex-Mayor McCue of Charlottesville, convicted of wife murder. He was sentenced to be hanged January 20 and was reaped by Governor Montague until February 10. When informed that the court had refused a hearing in his case, McCue took the news calmly for a few minutes and then said, "I will get justice above." He broke down and cried. Helnous Crime Occurred Near Little Town of Wauchula—After ALK Had Been Killed Teech Was Applied and Home Burned. The little farming community of Wauchula, in Polk county, Fla., was plunged into excitement Thursday morning by the discovery of a crime equaling in horror that tragedy at Statesboro, Ga., last year. The home of John Kirby, a farmer who moved to that locality last October fromBlount county, Alabama, was found in ashes, and in the spounder-ing rulers were found the bodies of Kirby, his wife and four children, ranging in age from a boy of 13 to an infant of one year. The whole neighborhood soon reached the scene and an investigation was made, which resulted in inevitable conclusion that the entire family had been murdered and a torch applied to the dwelling. A hammer was the only weapon found in the ruin, which could have inflicted the wounds. The coroner's jury, was empanelled and, after making examination of the premises, rendered the verdict that the family came to their death "by fire or some other means unknown." While many theories are entertained regarding the crime, no traces of the perpetrators can be found. Some believe other members of the family were, murdered in bed by bing knocked in the head, and Mrs. Kirby was outraged and then killed by some other means. A thorough investigation is under way. Meeting of Cotton Growers at New Orleans Meeting Adopt Resolutions. At the Cotton Growing convention in New Orleans, the following resolution was adopted: "Be it resolved that we endorse the movement on foot to endow the state commerce commission with full and complete control over such discriminations and abuses; with power to enforce their findings, and request all southern senators and commission men to support and aid in the passage of those in every way possible." MR8. CHADWICK BANKRUPT. Trustee Will Be Elected to Take Charge of Property. Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick has been formally adjudged a bankrupt in the United States district court at Cleveland by default. She failed to file an answer with the legal time limit to the bankruptcy proceedings brought against her some time since. As a result of the court's action, the creditors will meet and elect a trustee to take charge of her property until it shall be sold. MARINES TO SAN DOMINGO. Five Hundred Stationed at Panama Rushed to Black Republic. Considerable excitement has been created on the isthmus of Panama by the receipt of orders by the converted cruiser Dixie to proceed at once to the island of San Domingo, where fighting has broken out in the streets, and become so general that the assistance of the 500 marines quartered upon Empire hill are considered absolutely necessary by the United States. COTTON POOL LEGALLY NAMED Cognomen is "The Southern Planters Commission and Holding Co." The legal name of the cotton pool formed by the executive committee of the Southern Cotton Association has been fixed as "The Southern Planters' Commission and Holding Company." The charter has been drafted by the ablest lawyers of New Orleans and the domicile will be in that city. CITIZENS OF TOKIO CELEBRATE.

In any city where these dives are allow: edit means the debauching of our young people. Wherever they are, steps should be taken to break them up. _ One of the reasons given by the Adjutant General for refusing the Tequest of the Colored military to goto the inauguration ia that of poor equipment. At Inst the State as admitted that the Colored troopa are badly equipped. It shows Plainly the manner in which the State has been treating its Colored military. From reports the coming Farm- ers’ Conferance at the State College will be largely attended. This sec- tion of the Site must be well repre- sented. These conferences are mainly for the benefit of the farmera and they should take advantage of the same. The subjects will be such as will be of interest to every housewife In attendance Chatham County should be the banner county. Some weaks ago tha Lincoln Guards of Macon, Capt. S. A. Loek- hart, commanding, sent through Col. J. H, Deveaux, commanding officer of all the Colored troops of the state, a request for premiesion to attend the presidential inauguration at Washington. The result of which was the refusing of the request and a sensation from the same. From a military standpoint the action of the Governor and Adjutant-General can not be criticised and fur that reason the colored officers have nothing to say, about the .refusal. The public can easily ascertain the cause of the Governor’s action. ‘The colored troops of this State were represented at the last inangu- ration by the Georgia Artillery of this city and by the Lincoln Guards of Macon. Their military bearing ahd discipline caused favorable com- ments from those who saw them and much credit waa rflected on the staio. At this insuguration, besides the Lincoln Guards of Macon Cos. A and D of this city and Co. G of Angusta were planning to go, but like good soldiers, the orders of. a superior officer will have to be obey- de. This will not prevent the people from thinking. ‘There will doubtless be much Northera criticism of the announced intention of the state authorities to disband the colored military companies, of Georgia. It will be said that theré is harsh discrimination against the Negro soldiers on account of their color. But, looking at “the, matter from acold business proposition, ‘of what good are the colored companies to’ the state? What return is had from them for the money that is spent onthem? They are never called into service. When there isademand for troops, it is the white soldiers who are always called upon. The Negro militia is maintained merely fo or- namental purposes, and no other. Is it worth the cost to keep them in thes eryice? ‘The editor of the Morning News .from whose paper the sboye is clip- ped, from this article, seems defi- cient in his knowledge of the Negro asa soldier. He first attemp{s to anticipate that the Northern criti- ciem will be on account of color. No truer criticiam could be made. As asoldier the Negro is Joyal,,is effi- cient and he is brave. This can not be discounted; history is in his favor.

Among some of the places visited by Prof. Wright was Jesup, East- man, Tevnille and Sandersville. Bfore than 120 prosperous farmers, owning from 100 to 2,000 acres of cultivated Iand, have promised to attend the convention, and it is ex- pected that much good will result from it. The meetings of the con- vention will be held at the Georgia Industrial Institute. Masonic Notes. ‘ Despite the fact that repeated re- quests have been made to the officers of delinquent Lodges, a large nom- ‘ber have failed to render returns of election. The failure to render their return promptly hampers to 2 great extent the efficient adminis- tration of the duties of the Grand Master and Grand Secretary. The byethren of the local Lodgee have been disappointed by not being able to meetin the new temple this month on account of the contractor’s delay in the work. After this month it will be occupied.

A good many of the drug plants are products of the tropics, and cannot be-raised here; but expert authorities Inform us thet some four or five mil- Hon dollars’ worth of the others could readily be produced in the back yards of our suburban homes. ‘There has been a steadily Increasiiz shortage In the common -goldeu seal, or Hydrastis canadensis, At one time golden seal was so abundant in the East that it was totn up and burnt by farmers to keep it from overrunniag thelr fields, In the Ohio valley: {t was considered a pest. “But today it in srorth about seventy-five cents 4 found wholesale In the market, and it Is eas- vrly hunted for by drug plant collect- ors, There are scarcely 150,000 pounds collected annually in this country,.and the actual demand fs several times this amount, * Golden seal will grow easily on rich, loose garden soll, ‘The solt should be made to Imltate that of the woods or forest as nearly as possible. The plants are put in rows six inches from each other, with a foot between each row. It takes about three years from plant- Ing before harvesting, and after that an annual supply of roots should be had. In two seazons the original plants ehould Increase four times by dividing the rhizqmes, which can be cut up in the fall, After the second year the in- crease should be much faster, tor the rhizomes can be.cut into small pleces, end eacl one bearing a bud will form @ ew plant, The original plants cat elther be obtained from the woods or from nurserles. In either case they should be planted in Inte summer, and carefully protected the firet winter. ‘The cultivation. of seneca root, or snakeroot (Polygala senega), bas also been undertaken in this country. Like golden seal It was at one time very gbundant in this country, and it was gathered by collectors of drug plants in the South. The annual shortage has sent the price for it soaring. Cas- cara sagrada, Rhamnug purshiaus, and the coneflower, or Echinacea an- gustifolia, are also running short in this country, and thelr cultivation could be undertaken with a sure know!- edge that prices would be maintained for years to come. Plantations of these drag plants should yield a good income after the second year, and if the propagation increased by cuttings, the supply should be satisfactory. A curious fact in regard to the drag trade is that we are to-day importing in considerable quantities ordinary medicinal plants which are found grow- ing will tn this country, aud are large- ly neglected. In some cases these wild plants are destroyed by farmers as noxions weecs, auld their very presence ‘on the farm.3s an eyesore to them. In this class of despised drug plants we have the ‘common dandelion, purdock, couch grass and curly deck. The poor Italians of our towns and cities are apyarently the only ones to appre- clate the value of these common medi- cinal plants, In the spring and summer of the year they go forth to dig the roots of the dandelion abd dock in gar- dens, lanes and by the roadsides. In speaking to one of these Italian ool- lectors, the writer ascertained that lie made hearly a hundred dollars a yenr this way. Only a sipall fraction of bis time was given to collecting. Fair prices are quoted in the drug trade for dock and dandelion roots, and the cultivated sorts are so imich superior to the wild that there is mon- ey fn them, All that the farmer or householder needs to do is to start a rich plece of damp ground with the raota of the dandellop"or burdock, and then by. transplanting. cuttings ‘each year a large supply could be raised. ‘The plants take Possession of the scil. but the smull oues should be thinned out to give the better growths more room, .To cultivate dandelions, bcr- dock and couch grass seems like an ab- surdity to some, but we have it upoa the authority of the Department of Az- riculture that many tors of these roots are imported annually into this coun- try for the drug trade. Experiments have beeu made to tu- thoduce the camphor an2 cork trees in the Sonthern States, and some little suecess has been attained, but’ it would zeem much mere to tif point if farn- ers would attempt the cultivation of wild native plants that we cow have to import to meet the ordinary drag Belladona, henbane and stramonium grow in this country under ¢vitiva- tion, £0 that good crops can bé haf vested, and they all occur here as-wild plants or weeds, We {import quantifles of all three from middle and southern Europe, and pay a good priee for them. All of these are susceptible. to culture int small gardens, thelr rpots growing rapidly, aud theif leaves furnishing am qbundance of mitiicinal materia for drug purposes, Stramotiftim $s an an- nual, and. must be planted trom seed each’ year, but belladona and henbane are biennials, and can be increased by root division, The leaves are collected and dried in waru, airy places for market. Prices for these drugs are moderately good, and an acreTof land devoted to thelr culture should yleld fair profits. the Inbor of cultivating {s small, the. chief item of expense being harvesting and drying of the leaves. In the case of ‘belfidond {he foots are also collected ‘and sold for medicinal purposes. ‘The ‘work fs all Ilght, interesting and proSt- ‘able for man or woman. “While caraway, aiise, and coriander zeeds are not nsually classed among drugs in the eyes of the average per- son, they are thus elasified by dealers. ‘They are imported in iatge quantities from other countries.

HE hottest ruler I ever had," remarked old Jim Nace, in the Powers Hotel lobby recently, just before leaving for the St. Louis Ernest HARE FOR LIFE. HE hottest race I ever had," remarked old Jim Nace, in the Powers Hotel lobby recently, just before leaving for the St. Louis Expedition, "was up near the Rangley Lakes, Maine, when my chum, Kinnman, and myself rode out on our wheels, to snap a few pictures of the old Thomas place, a deserted country house built years back by a wealthy bachelor. He had laid out a petty race track and had astonished the natives in his day, but now the house is seldom visited and the little track is almost forgotten. We had waved along a grass-meadow hunting for the place, when a big drill moose jumped out into the road, and Kinnman thought it would be funny to scare him by rushing his bell. "The result surpassed expectation. With one snort of rage the moose jumped into the road, and after stamping his sharp hoofs into the turf for a few seconds, sprang joward us. I picked up the pace set by Klinman, who was a rod ahead. We each had a narrow rut, burned iron hard by the sun, and so these we spun along, bending low to keep our eyes open for obstacles. We made a turn in the road, careening over to an abominable angle, and then straightened up for the straightaway stretch. My heart sank as I saw 200 rods ahead that the road led up a bill, with open country on either side. "James shouted Klinman, under his left arm, and I caught a glimpse of a big, umbled down structure cut out in the skyline. "I overheard my friend as I felt the moose almost upon me, and we jumped our machines for all we were worth. A spill would cost us all. The dead grass dung over the ruts in places so as to render our pathways unseen, and at any minute I expected to strike a rock or a washout and go down in a heap. "To the right!" screamed Kinnan, letting out a kink and jumping his wheel over a narrow ditch to pass through an opening in a ragged board fence. "Instinctively I followed him, and before I knew it found myself skimming along on a smooth speedway. "The old race track," painted Kinnan, as we flew by the low bushes. "The moose had paused when we took the field, but now was hot on our trail. If the roadway was better for us, so it was for him; looking over my shoulder at the first quarter I saw him hugging the pole and bearing down like an express train. Fortunately for us, we had won some renown as sprinters, and gripping the handle bars we began to show the moose fancy pace. Soon we were at the opening, but Kinman cried out, 'Keep on,' and I knew without being told, that to take the road again meant suicide. Besides, I think we both began to enjoy the situation a bit. The moose, while doing his best, could not catch up, with us, although he held his own nicely. The only question was, would our endurance outlast his tenacity? "I don't hear him, I cried, and we both slowed up. "Guess he's got enough," gasped Kinnan, wiping the sweat from his eyes. Then he shrieked, "Turn! turn! and I caught the thunder of hoofs ahead. "The moose had turned and had gone around to meet us. "Just as he loomed in sight we swung about and flew for life. His little trick nearly succeeded, for his momentum was so great that he nearly had us before we could get back into our old form. For a quarter of a mile it was nip and tuck whether he would end the race or we should get clear. Then he grew disgusted and lost ground and we drew away. But the fun of the thing was gone now. He wasn't playing fair. His tricky disposition to cut bases and lay ambuscades made us sweat with a new fear, and no more did we try to draw out of sight. "He's turned again! I warned. "After him!" cried Kinnan, and wheeling about we caught back until we caught sight of his flanks. "It was grimly humorous, this new deal; and again did our spirits rise. Kinnan wanted to hoot at the animal, to make him more angry, but I objected. The moose' was matching his cunning against ours, and just now we were out-pointing him. I did not care to lose the advantage for the sake of evincing our derision. But as he circled around and met no bicyclists he became more enraged. He shook his antlers and "woofed" in anger. Our wheels made only a faint burring sound, as if some one were tearing off innumerable yards of cloth. Suddenly the moose paused, plowed up the gravel and caught sight of us. Quick as a cat he pivoted, and away we went again, this time in the lead. "Then he stopped, and we equitiously wheeled back to find him. We crept half way around the track, and yet we could not hear him. We began to grow nervous. "Wonder what he's got up his hoof now? muttered Kinman. "Easy, I gasped, he's hiding in the bushes somewhere." "Just as I said this there was a crash, and the moose was fairly upon us. Kinman swerved his wheel and kept dead ahead; and the moose chased him. This saved me, as I had time to complete my circle and race back. I should have kept on after my friend and the enemy, but I was too dazed to think quickly. So I tore back down the track at my sharp gait. Suddenly I met them, and in a flash had sped by. The moose, within ten feet of Kinman, who seemed to be tired, wheeled and put after me. But before I met my companion, he stopped again. This was at the back of the track, and instantly I thought of a scheme to escape. It all depended upon meeting Kinman. The sun was low now and I feared the shadows as, jumping my machine, I raced against time and I found my friend just as he was turning to retrace his course. I pointed to the opening near by, and out into the road we bumped. I was for making back after my camera, but Kinman pointed out the advantages of the empty Thomas house, and slowly we mounted the hill. "From the top of the rise we looked down on the little track, and there at the rear, behind the bushes, was our old enemy, standing patient and motionless. Kimman gave a shrill cry, and the moose, looking up, saw us and realized we had escaped him. He shook his head in disguist, and, vaulting the low fence, set off across the fields toward the woods. We found a rough road on the other side of the hill, and again picked up our path to civilization."—Rochester Post-Express. A MOTORMAN'S FEAR. "One of the strangest cases of a diseased will that ever came under my observation," said an old physician, "was that of a young man who never would have impressed you as being in any way above or below the normal of human beings. He came of good stock and had been noted for his conduct from the time he became a responsible agent up to the time I have in mind. Things had not gone well with his family in a financial way, and he was forced out into world, and often the way was a little rough for a fellow of his temperament. At the time I have in mind he was employed as a motorman by a street car company. He had held the place for probably more than a week when I was consulted by him and by members of his family who had become uneasy because of his condition. He was perfectly rational in the extraordinary statements he made about his case, and in fact gave me a clearer view of his aliment than I had ever been able to get from a patient. Briefly I was this: "While running his car he was often selzed with an almost uncontrollable desire to allow the car to run away. He wanted it to go at full speed. Often this impulse would seize him when there was another car or some obstacle on the track just ahead of him, or when some person was on the track—his idea always being to cause a wreck and a smash-up. He told me frankly that this feeling had been gradually increasing in intensity, and that his power of moral and mental resistance had been growing proportionately weaker. 'It is easy,' he said, 'for me to see the result of this thing, and I want you, doctor, to advise me what to do. You understand me. You know what my feelings must be about such horrible things. I don't want to harm anybody or anything. But I will if I remain on the front end of a street car.' He was, in my opinion, clearly right in the conclusion he had reached, and the result would come, but because he could not help it. That was the situation. I told him there was but one thing to do, and that was to remove the temptation. In a word, to quit the street car business. He resigned immediately. He secured another place in some other line of business where his mental fabric was not exposed to excitements of any kind, and when I last heard from him he was a well-balanced and useful citizen, and if any defects in will power existed, they never developed, and probably never will so long as he remains away from those influences and conditions which would call them forth. It was a strange case."—New Orleans Times-Democrat. JAP MASTER AND MAN. It was in this melee of blood and sword that I saw a sight that touched me deeply. I noticed two men in our ranks; and later I found out that the younger of these men came from a well-to-do Samurai family; the older man was also from the same place. In fact the father of the older man had spent all his life in the service of the family from which the younger man came. On this terrific day, when they were within a few meters of the Russians, when they fought with rocks, swords and anything they could get hold of, I saw these men cling to each other closely. At the height of the bloody excitement the older seemed to be mindful of the younger always. At one time a few of the Russians actually succeeded in running upon a part of our line. One of the Russians raised the butt of his rifle, about to strike the younger of these two men. Then I saw the older swing forward and literally hurl down the Russian with the bayonet through his body. A little later the young man was shot in the leg and fell. I saw the older man forget himself completely, forsake his gun, knee down beside the young friend of his, and not finding a piece of cloth, he tore the front of his hirt. He stuffed a little piece of cloth into the bullet hole in the leg of his friend. Then, after a little while, because of the fierceness of action about me, I lost sight of these men. When I came upon them a few minutes later they were together side by side. As I passed I said to the older man, who was half standing, always covering his young master: "Can't you manage to carry yourself to the rear with your friend—to the field hospital, or to some shelter behind the hill? "Oh, it is all right," he answered, "My young master is wounded a little, but he will recover in a minute, I think. Then we shall get at the Russlans again." I pointed to the ragged wound which a Russian bullet had made upon his own shoulder. "Oh," he said, "that is a scratch. Don't mind that." A Japanese Officer, in Leslie's Monthly Magazine. SUPPLEMENT TO SAVANNAH TRIBUNE SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1905. INTEREST TO WOMEN ACCEPTABLE TO MOST WOMEN. A dainty apron is acceptable to most women. A new idea is a work bag and apron combined. It is so constructed that while doing fancy work you appear to have bib a pretty apron with a pointed bib. When you stop you pile all your things in your lap, untie the ribbons about your waist and the apron draws up into a bag. MEDITATIONS OF A SPINSTER. Judging from some of the awful things seen on the late Hallow'een', women, ought to go down on their knees fasting and give thanks that they are permitted to wear women's clothes. It's queer that it is/much harder to be just plain than it is to be saintly and plous. Silence, in some cases, speaks much louder than words. It makes a wife real envious to see the way her husband can forget the children when they are both away from home. When a woman has won something on an election bet she cannot see why some people think bettin gis wrong. THE HARDANGER EMBROIDERY. The Hardanger embroidery, or Swedish embroidery, as it is sometimes wrongly called, which is now so popular in the shops in embroidered shirt waists and centrepieces, gets its name from the town of Hardanger in western Norway. This embroidery, while new to most parts of the United States, has been in use for generations in Norway, Sweden and Denmark. In these countries the children are taught to do Hardanger work at school; and in the little town of Hardanger in almost every home are to be seen curtains, counterpanes, pillow shams and table covers ornamented with this beautiful and durable embroidery. The women of Hardanger always wear little aprons trimmed with Hardanger insertion. In fact, this custom is so associated with the village life that even on her wedding day the Hardanger maiden wears an apron. WHY HER SHOE LACES UNTIE. WHY HER SHOE LACES UNTIL "Why is it that a lady's shoe becomes untied so much more frequently and apparently easier than a man's?" repeated J. V. Ladd, the shoe salesman, after me. "Well, I don't suppose I would be in any better position to answer a question than any one else had it not been for the fact that a few days ago a couple of ladies, customers of my place, were discussing that very point, and their deductions appear to solve the riddle perfectly. "It is not that a woman's shoe laces will not tie in as arm a knot as any other's; the reason for the frequent annoyances to which women are subjected is apart from that. In the case of high shoes the trouble is altogether in their height. The shoe laces further up on the leg than a man's, usually hits more snugly, and therefore encounters a greater strain on the knot when woman is walking. The result is that it becomes loosened with a very short time, whereas, a man may walk all day without the laces of his shoe becoming untied. Where low shoes are worn the skirts flapping round the ankle do the work of loosening the knot."-St. Louis Globe-Democrat. HINTS FOR HATS. An entirely new hat, that has no pedigree, but is distinctly pretty, has a 'ow bowl top covered with a marabout pompon. The four-inch brim curves up with reticent grace at the left. It is covered with row upon row of narrow pleated lace, and bound at the edge with Japanese mink. The bowl hat often has a crown of roses, with fur binding always in effective harmony. The lace is usually pure white. But little lace will be used on the handsomest hats. Fur and flowers and fur and tulle or embroidery are the swagger things. Felts are fashionable in spite of the craze for the made velvet hat. The handsomest are the satin felt, not too stiff, with the brim showing the pleasant outline of the mushroom. A handsome feather used to be a treasured possession for one or more generations. It was treated with respect and placed on the hat in a dignified, upright position. But what is tradition to the modern American girl? Just something to be stumbled over once, to be uprooted, smiled at kindly and the fragments scattered by a little humor and a little scorn. CHEAP INITATIONS Cheap imitation of good things is seen a great deal, and gives a tawdy look to gowns. Avoid laces and ribbons unless they are good, says the Boston Sunday Herald. False jewelry is always bad taste, and yet women with beautiful jewels of their own go mad over imitation ones. If you cannot have the real, do without. Nothing so stains a woman. Walk along the street some day and look only at the feet of the women you pass. You will be astonished and horried to find perhaps only one whose feet are well shod. Every one can afford to have a pair of trees, as skeleton shapes can be bought and will fit any shoe or slipper in that size. Start with a good outfit of shoes, one pair for wet weather, whether boots or low shoes with cork soles; another for ordinary wear, and two patent leather pairs, for street and for dress occasions; the latter with high heels and thinner soles. That amount is absolutely necessary, apart from brown shoes or slippers. Keep them on trees and well cleaned, and not only will you be well shod, but you will save tremendously. One pair of shoes will not do for everything. They not only look bad, but the constant wear and tear soon finishes them. Give up other things, if you have to, but try it once and you will never go back to your old way. NECKLETS FOR GIRLS. The smart girl is a very interesting young person to behold these days, for she scarcely lets a day go by that she does not introduce you to a new fashion and greet you with a new fad. Early in the summer it was a long chain that she was wearing, of beads or jewels, according as her purse allowed. Now the long chain is looked upon as being entirely too popular to be worn by the girls who lead, instead of follow, the fashions. It is the necklet that is the smart thing to wear right now—a dainty little chain, sometimes of one strand and sometimes of three, which falls just below the throat. From the necklet dangles the fair wearer's fine stone. The necklet, is invariably of fine gold chains of tiny pearls. Amethyst drops make effective dangles, and baroque pearls are also much the mode used in this way, says the Woman's Home Companion. Very often the necklet consists of one fine gold chain, which fits snugly about the collar. From this but one dangle will depend, but it will be a large and expensive one. Strings of enameled beads just long enough to encircle the throat are a fashion of the moment. They are very dainty and attractive in pale blue, being strung in such a way that a small rhinestone alternates with each pretty blue bead. Big coral beads are also worn, but they must fit closely about the neck, instead of swinging away below the waist line. COSTUME FOR BUSINESS WEAR. COSTUME FOR BUSINESS WEAK This year, for the business woman, the smooth-finished, manish mixtures are in high favor for tailored suits. A vest of contrasting color, not too light, may be introduced, or a snug, semi-fitting, double-breasted coat, somewhat suggestive of a Norfolk jacket, is equally within Dame Fashion's laws. The sleeves are plain and snug-fitting. The skirt should be built on strictly tailored lines, no ruffles or shirring, and if trimming is used at all, it should be in the form of strapped seams or very flat, closely woven braid, which will not harbor dust. This skirt should clear the ground by at least two inches. With it should be worn a tailor hat, with no ostrich plumes or flowers, but a breast of coq pompon may be used for trimming. Many well-dressed women in business wear a rather stiff felt hat of good quality, trimmed with bands and big rosettes of ribbon, or velvet of the same shade. The business woman who is much on the street should own a complete rainy-day outfit and keep it for that purpose. This because for rainy weather she should have a skirt and long coat well removed from the ground. Many a long coat of waterproof cloth does more harm than good to its owner because she has it cut too long. The best tailors say that the rainy-day skirt and coat should clear the ground by four inches. If the waterproof coat is long, the material of the skirt beneath is not all important, and here the business woman may employ a made-over. FANCIFUL HATS FOR WOMEN. Among the fancy hats many are woven of thick chenille, the coloring chosen being usually rich. They are at their best in deep claret and maroon, purple blue and plum shades. A large flat crowned type and a medium sized hat, the brim rolled so as to suggest a tricorne, are both very suitable for chenille. The trimming for the former may consist of a row or roses of the same color, set against the upturned brim, while for the latter, wide ribbons may be chosen for the outside trimming, and a big bunch of roses for the bandeau underneath, tilting it slightly to one side. Shapes crowned with plumage are always more or less of a fanciful character. One may generally expect to see a certain number among seasonable novelties, but those shown this year are certainly an improvement on former productions. A picture hat in light peacock blue plumage particularly took my fancy. The feathers were not quite flat, but curled slightly, so as to form a low pile like that on a melusine felt. Round the high crown was arranged a sort of standup fringe of the blue and gold strands surrounding the tail feathers of the peacock emerging from a folded band of glace velvet of the same tone. More simple, but very pretty, too, is a big toque, the crown of which is covered with white plumage, and the rolled brim by a quantity of soft black cock's feathers sweeping back from the front on either side—Paris Letter to the Millinery-Trade Review. CHILDREN'S DEPARTMENT! And they all came, dressed in their best— a goodly company. With pleasant puris they took their seats, and filled the table up. And then the hostess briskly poured For each a brimming cup. The tea was, catnip, freshly brewed, And, as they sat and gossiped there, With many a blink and wink, Old Towser he came strolling in, Thinking to get a drink. All round the room he slowly walked And sniffed the catnip tea, And then, disgusted, left because No dognip could he see! —Will S. Gidley, in Little Folks. FISHING FOR APPLES: A great many places about the country have no water where fish may be found, and boys and girls living near them have little or no opportunity to fish. Those very places, though, are apt to have apple orchards, and fishing THE APPLE FISH-HOOK. for apples may furnish a new amusement not yet thought of. Beginning in August, there are generally a lot of poor apples fallen from the trees, which lie about on the ground underneath them. They are known as "windfalls." Gather a lot of windfalls and put them on the ground inside a barrel hoop. Now, for a hook, get a stick about six inches long and cut it as shown in the picture. Point it at one end and make the other half not over half an inch round. Push a good hard apple on this round part and fasten a cord to the part sticking through it. Any long stick will do for a fish pole, but the cord must not be shorter than four feet. Those who want to fish may gather around the apple pile, and with pole and hook properly prepared, should begin together. To catch an apple the pointed stick must be poised above it and then dropped suddenly. If the aim is true the apple will stick upon CATCHING AN APPLE FISH. the point and may be drawn from the gill. There should be no interference with each other unless the last apple is being fished for. But at no time, when fishing, must the bait of hook be touched. A large stone placed in the pile will spoil more than one point, and the time taken in sharpening it will be lost to that fisherman.—New York Evening Mall. THE MARY MORGAN SOCIETY. Nobody ever heard of Felix Smith giving a penny for charity until he joined the Mary Morgan Society. True, he was very wealthy, but he had a well-earned reputation for being stingy. "Come in," said Felix Smith when a funny little knock sounded at the door. The knob turned and into the office walked a little girl with black hair, big brown eyes and two dimples that played peek-a-boo at you when she laughed. "How-de-do," said she, and held out her hand. Mr. Smith shook hands and wondered what in the world she wanted. The little girl climbed into a chair, settled herself and smiled up into the face above her. "We've got a society," she said at last, "all we girls in the first reader, and I'm the President. The big girls have a society and send things away from somewhere to the heathen, and lots of the girls have a Christmas society, and sew clothes for poor children, so we got up the Mary Morgan-Society, so's we can help-old Mrs. Snell." "Oil!" said Mr. Smith. "Who's Mary Morgan?" "Why, I'm Mary Morgan," she said, with a giggle of pleasure. "It's this way. There is so much begging here in town that the mothers of the Mary, Morgan Society say that the members of our society can't beg from more than one person." "Meaning themselves, of course," interrupted Mr. Smith. "That's a wise idea." "They didn't say who," said Mary, her brown eyes twinkling. "I haven't asked anything from my mother. There's only seven of us, and I said I'd come to you." "Why?" asked Mr. Smith. Why asked Mr. Smith. "Cause," replied the President of the Mary Morgan Society, "you're very rich and nobody ever asks you for money, cause they say you're stingy, but I told the society I didn't believe you were, and I wasn't afraid, anyhow." The rich man looked very solemn at this frank speech; then he smiled and jingling some coin in his pocket, said: "How much?" "I'll write it down if you'll give me a piece of paper and a pencil," said Mary. He obeyed and pushed the little visitor close to the table. "Please don't look," she said, shielding her writing with her hand. She wrote all over the piece of paper, then folding it up and handing it to Mr. Smith, and, with a funny little bow, marched out. Mr. Smith unfolded the letter and read: "She needs flower, wud, meet, blankit, pillers, kook store and most everything. Please give what you can." "If he gives a barrel of flour, the society will call on him with a vote of thanks, like the big Yolks do," said the hopeful President. The next day the storekeepers were astonished to see Felix Smith ordering things to be sent to old Mrs. Snell and paying for them out of his own pocket. As for Mrs. Snell, she could hardly believe her poor old eyes when wagons loaded with flour, wood, meat, blankets, pillows and other things began driving up to her door. On every article was a tag which said: "From the Mary Morgan Society." Last of all, the hardware merchant unloaded a brand new cook store and set it up in Mrs. Snell's kitchen. Seven little first reader girls called on Felix Smith and not only gave him a vote of thanks, but made him a member of the society. Whatever may have been Mr. Smith's fallings, no one could ever accuse him of stinginess after he became a member of the Mary Morgan Society.—Adapted from The Mayflower. Politeness Doesn't Pay. There are certain sections of the city in which it is dangerous to be polite. A woman dropped her chatelaine bag in a lower East Side street the other day. A nicely dressed young man started forward and stooped to pick it up. While he was in this defenseless position the woman brought down her umbrella with great force and precision on the back of his neck. A policeman rushed up immediately to see what the trouble was and the woman accused the gallant young man of most things on the criminal calendar, but particularly of attempted grand larceny. With great difficulty the young man succeeded in pacifying her and explaining to the policeman, who let him go with this reprimand: "Them manners don't go down here, young feller. Just keep yer hat on an' blow smoke in the ladies' faces an' you'll be all right." -New York Sun. Would Have Lost It. Anyway. Col. Robert A. Pinkerton was talking about old times in Chicago. "I used to know a man there who was an ardent gambler," he said. "He lost his week's wages regularly in 'Dinner Pall' Hankins' game. "One Saturday evening the man started home, via the gambling house, as usual. A spasm of reform had struck Chicago, and the place had been pulled. The man tried to enter the door, but failed. He walked out into the street and gazed up in inquiringly at the closed windows. "Then he walked back to the door, tried it again, but it would not open, so he drew his pay envelope from his pocket, shoved it under the door, and walked calmly down the street."—New York Times. Very Annoylug. It was very careless leaving the parrot in the parlor on Sunday evening; but she never thought anything about it until Monday morning, when he roused the whole house by making a smacking noise and crying: "Darling Katie! Darling Katie!" He kept it up all day, too, and the old folks are much interested in the case-Smith's Weekly. Sobering Experience After having been missing for two years an Iowa man met his wife face to face in a distant city and straightway recovered his memory, which had been somewhat blurred. Nothing like bumbling suddenly up against the wife to bring a man to his senses. --- SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1905. Mrs. Fanny Armstrong has been on the sick list during the week. Mrs. S. A. Mack of 511 W. Gwinnett St., who has been sick, for a number of months, is still very sick. Mr. John H. Elliott who has been very ill for the past two weeks, is able to be out, again. Miss Florence H. Banks, one of our well known young ladies is teaching near Statesboro. Miss Jennie Belle Boozar has returned from Fisk University, Nashville, Tennessee on account of ill health. Mr. T. H. Bembry, a former student of the Georgia State Industrial College, is teaching a well attended school at Hawkinsvill. An invitation is extended to all who are interested in the organization of a Y. M. C. A, to meet Sunday Afternoon at 4:30 p. m. 468 West Broad Street. Our sanctum was graced on Thursday last by a very pleasant call from Mrs. Dr. L. S. Parks and Mrs. Geo. W. Johnson. The commodious two story residence of Rev. S. Beauford, of Waycross, was destroyed by fire last week. The friends of the reverend regret his loss very much. Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Weston had another addition to the family over two weeks ago. It is a girl, and a bouncing one too. Mother and daughter are doing well and Mr. Weston is one of the proudest fathers in the city. Lawyer E. M. Morse has been at home seriously sick for the past month. His many friends are anxious for his complete recovery and are hoping for the same. The Young Men Aid and Pleasure Club was organized on January 17. It is composed of young men between 14 and 18 years. For the present meetings are held each Tuesday night at 541 Maple street. The young men seem ambitious to do something for race progress. A Union rally was held on Sunday last at College Park Baptist church, Rev. R. H. Thomas, pastor. Rev. Hosea Maxwell preached at the morning service. His sermon was applicable to the occasion and were enjoyed by all who heard it. The members raised $32.00 during the day. This sum will go towards the repairing of the walls of the church. The members are unabating in their interest in the work of the church, led by their faithful pastor. Last week the one hundred and seventh anniversary of the First African Baptist Church was celebrated. The celebration concluded on Tuesday night. Several divines of the city assisted in the services which were very interesting. For the occasion the church was beautifully decorated, and elaborately so was the pulpit. The thought of summer was vividly had immediately upon beholding it. Rev. J. W. Carr, D. D., the energetic pastor, has done a great work, in the improvement made. This church has the largest membership of any church in the country. A very pleasant entertainment was given in honor of Mrs. Eugenia Bunch of New York, at the residence of Miss Jones, on Friday night of last week. An enjoyable time was had by all. Those present were: Mesdames Eugenia Bunch, Anna Evans, Laura Lewis, Miss Matilda Williams, Mrs. Jones, Miss Clara Jones. Messrs. Rob't Evans, John Young, Eugene Evans, Isaac Johnson, Nathaniel Evans, W. Norman, Charlie McGraw, Charlie Florence and Mr. Pratt of Washington, D. C. Rev. J. H. Gadsen, of Tuskegee spent a few days in the city during the week. He came on invitation from the First A. B. Church to preach the 117th anniversary of the church on Sunday night last. This he did with great credit to himself and much satisfaction to his hundreds of hearers. His thoughts on the origin and mission of the church were excellent ones. Rev. Gadsen is an old Savannahian and member of the above church. He was ordained by Rev Loye in 1897 and has been pastor of the Mt. Olive Baptist church of Tuskegee for nearly five years. Rev Gadsen is also an instructor in the Bible Training school of Tuskegee Institute. All of his Savannah friends are proud of his success. He returned home on Wednesday night. 3 Like Finding Money. Finding health is like finding money—so says those who are sick. When you have a cough, cold, sore throat, or chest irritation, better act promptly like W. C. Barber, of Sandy Level, Va. He says "I had a terrible chest trouble, caused by smoke and coal dust on my lungs; but, after finding no relief in other remedies, I was cured by Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughes and Colds."

The entire community was shocked on yesterday morning, when the death of Prof. Thos. L. Cottin was announced from the effect of a blow he received the afternoon before from one of his students at the Georgia State Industrial College. The student who committed the atrocious deed is named S. Bowen, and along with his parents has only been in the city two months. During class time Prof. Cottin had cause to reprove him for misconduct. It is stated that he became obstreperus and had to be put out of the class room. He became resentful and struck the professor on the head with a rock. The boy was immediately captured and placed in jail at Thunderbolt and the professor was taken to Charity Hospital where an operation was attempted but on account of his weakened condition it was not done. He died about 11:30 o'clock Thursday night. Prof. Cottin has been an instructor at the College nearly three years, and has made many friends while here. He leaves a wife and little daughter, and to them the sympathy of the entire community is extended. The remains were taken first to Mr. Albert Jackson's undertaking establishment and from there to the College from where he will be buried today at 2 o'clock. Interment at Laurel Grove.

He was born in Virginia about seventy-five years ago and has been a Georgian for nearly half a century, during a greater part of which he has been identified with the ministry. He was ordained at the First Bryan Baptist church of which the Rev. U. L. Houston was at that time pastor. His first charge was the church at White Bluff. About twenty-three years ago he was called to the pastorate of the Mt. Zion Baptist church on West Broad street. His work there has been a successful one. He has a large, loyal membership composed of many well-known citizens and energetic church workers. These members are proud of their pastor and do everything possible to prove their appreciation of his valuable service. Rev Weston is also pastor of the White Oak Baptist church at Montieth, one of the largest churches in that section. He is the beloved moderator of the Berean Baptist Association, one of the largest bodies in the state. Rev. Weston is a vocalist and organist of no mean ability, and for years gave instruction in both branches. As a citizen he is well thought of and greatly admired by all who know him. He is upright in all of his dealing and is a true believer in a "clean pulpit" in every respect. AMUSEMENT COLUMN. Caming Events in The Social World.

The story was told to me by the army surgeon himself. He was seated in his tent one morning when a number of the followers of the Sultan of Pantar came hurrying to him, saying the Sultan was dying of cholera. Aided by the alight knowledge he then had of their language the surgeon diagnosed the case from their reports as a well-nigh hopeless one. Still, anxious to show the skill and friendliness of the American for the Moro brother, he hastily made up six powders, each containing one-sixteenth of a grain of morphine and thirty-gains of bismuth. These he gave to the emissaries, telling them to give the Sultan one of them-in a glass of boiled water every three hours and to report to him next morning how the patient was getting along. The next morning the surgeon was more than surprised to see the Sultan himself walk into the tent. Wan and weak as he was, he had come some eight miles to thank the surgeon personally for having saved his life; and had brought with him one of his subjects, who spoke Spanish well enough to serve as an interpreter. It was through this interpreter that the surgeon learned how his directions had been followed. First they had given the entire six powders to the Sultan at one dose—a full grain of morphine and 180 grains of bismuth—and then had poured a tumblerful of boiling water into him every three hours afterward, scalding his mouth and throat so that he could hardly speak. But it curled him and the surgeon says the same treatment cured many another Moro who would probably have died under lesser doses.—Brooklyn Eagle. (At5-'05) Native-Born Singers.

A good temperance woman was led, in a very peculiar way, to revise her somewhat harsh judgment of the poor devil who cannot resist his cups, and she is now the more charitable. She writes: "For many years I was a great sufferer from asthma. Finally my health got so poor that I found I could not lie down, but walked the floor whilst others slept. I got so nervous I could not rest anywhere. "Specialists told me I must give up the use of coffee—the main thing that I always thought gave me some relief. I consulted our family physician, and he, being a coffee fiend himself, told me to pay no attention to their advice. Coffee had such a charm for me that in passing a restaurant and getting a whiff of the fragrance I could not resist a cup. I felt very lenient toward the drunkard' who could not pass the saloon. Friends often urged me to try Postum, but I turned a deaf ear, saying 'That may do for people to whom coffee is harmful, but not for me—coffee and I will never part.' "At last, however, I bought a package of Postnast, although I was sure I could not drink it. I prepared it as directed, and served it for breakfast. Well, bitter as I was against it. I must say that never before had I tasted a more delicious cup of coffee. From that day to this (more than 2 years) I have never had a desire for the old coffee. My health soon returned; the asthma disappeared. I began to sleep well, and in a short time I gained 20 pounds in weight. "One day I handed my physician the tablets, he had prescribed for me, telling him I had no use for them. He stayed for dinner. When I passed him his coffee cup he remarked, 'I am glad to see you were sensible enough not to let yourself be persuaded that coffee was harmful. This is the best cup of coffee I ever drank,' he continued; 'the trouble is so few people know how to make good coffee.' When he got his second cup I told him he was drinking Postum. He was incredulous, but I conylnced him, and now he uses nothing but Postum in his home, and has greatly improved in health." Name: given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

Mrs. John LaHue, of 115 Paterson Avenue, Paterson, N.J., says: "I was troubled for about nine years, and what I suffered no one will ever know.

Often when alone in A woman seated at a desk, writing or reading. the house the backache has been so bad that it brought tears to my eyes. The pain at times was so injense that I was compelled to give up my household duties and lie down. There were headaches, dizziness and blood rushing to my head to cause bleeding at the nose.

Speaking of crime, a very interesting story reaches us; one of the innumerable evidences of the intimate connection of most crime with poverty and "not getting a chance." The Rev. A. H. Simpson, vicar of Rogate, near Midhurst, recently received a letter from Australia, asking him to make inquiries in his parish for a man who lost a waistcoat and watch some forty-five years ago. The inquiries resulted in the vicar discovering a man named Ayling, of Durleigh, who about the time mentioned left his waistcoat on the side of the road while at work, and found later on that it had been stolen. The name and address of this person were sent to the inquirer in Australia. By return mail came a draft for £10 with an explanation. The sender had stolen the waistcoat when passing through the village, and the few shillings found, in the pockets together with the proceeds of the sale of the watch, had served to give him a fresh start in life. He is now a wealthy man, and wished to make some recompense.—London News. A Recompense. Young Edward, aged six, was quite tired of staying in the house. His mother was ill and had tried to keep him in the room with her because her room was warmer than his playroom, but his toys were all in the playroom and he became restless to go to them. "Goodbye, mamma," he said, "I will come back in a thousand years." "I will be dead and buried by that time, son." The little fellow stopped a moment with his hand upon the door, and, thinking of the Creed, he replied: "Never mind, mamma, you will rose again."—Lippincott's.

At the sale of the Roslyn jewels in London recently the name of Mrs. Elizabeth Brent figured frequently as purchaser. Mrs. Brent is an American widow and quite a remarkable woman, says the Chicago Chronicle. About seven years ago she went to London with her husband, who intended to introduce a patent lawnmower in England. He was accidentally killed leaving his widow wgiti about $250. Mrs. Brent, a Massachusetts woman, set about bringing Boston baked beans and cranberry saucepie into notice in London, and has succeeded so well that now her income sometimes runs to $1,000 a day. In her Kensington home she has a storehouse of rare works of art, souvenirs from faraway lands and Oriental hangings, said to be among the most magnificent in the city. In writing to an American friend Mrs. Brent said her success was owing partly to brains, but mostly to beans. What a. Hand May Mean. What a grand may mean. In all my experiences and thoughts I am conscious of a hand. Whatever touches me, whatever thrills me, is as a hand that touches me in the dark, and that touch is my reality. You might as well say that a sight which brings the stinging tears to your eyes, is unreal as to say that those impressions are unreal which I have accumulated by means of touch. The delicate tremble of a butterfly's, wings in my hand, the soft petals of violets curling in the cool folds of their leaves or lifting sweetly out of the meadow grass, the clear, firm outline of the face and limb, the smooth arch of a horse's neck and the velvety touch of his nose—all these, and a thousand resultant combinations, which take shape in my mind, constitute my world—From Helen Keller's "A Chat About the Hand," in Century.

How many women do you know who are perfectly well and strong? We hear every day the same story over and over again. "I do not feel well; I am so tired all the time!" Miss Kate McDonald More than likely you speak the same words yourself, and no doubt you feel far from well. The cause may be easily traced to some derangement of the female organs which manifests itself in depression of spirits, reluctance to go anywhere or do anything, backache, bearing-down pains, flatulency, nervousness, sleeplessness, leucorrhoea. These symptoms are but warnings that there is danger ahead, and unless heeded a life of suffering or a serious operation is the inevitable result. The never-failing remedy for all these symptoms is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Miss Kate McDonald, of Woodbridge, N. J., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: I think that a woman naturally dislikes to hurt her troubles known to the public, but restores them so much to me that I cannot help from falling in for the sake of other suffering women. "For a long time I suffered unfold agony with a. uterine trouble and irregularities, which made me a physical wreck, and no one knew what to do. That hambu's Vegetable Compound has entirely curved me, and made me well and strong, and I feel it my duty to tell other suffering women what a splendid medicine it is." If you are ill, don't hesitate to get a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once, and write to Mrs. Pinkham; Lynn, Mass., for special advice. It is free and always helpful. COL.

The constant exposure to the elements experienced in an outdoor life is not so apt to cause coughs and colds as sedentary habits.
