Georgia Chief Executive Urges Good Work of Cotton Association. GOVERNOR Joseph M. Terrell of Georgia, who has from the very first taken a strong interest in the work of the Southern Cotton Association, and who always has the interest of the Southern farmers at heart, is out in a strong article in which he urges the farmers of the south, and especially the farmers of Georgia, to hold their cotton, reduce the acreage this year and to use less fertilizers. In speaking of the work of the association Governor Terrell says, among other things: "I have watched with great interest the work of the Southern Cotton Association. Its officers and the officers of the various state divisions have done a good work in so thoroughly organizing the southern states. "The south has never lost anything by standing together. It has never succeeded by drifting apart. Had it not been for the union of moral forces during the dark days of the reconstruction the manhood of the south would have passed away with its property interests. The southern planter needs this same determined and united strength in the present fight the cotton growers are making against the evil that is threatened in an effort to control the product of human labor by speculation in Wall street. There should be no laggards. Now is the time to act, in order that the best results may be guaranteed. "Diversification of crops to take up the land not planted in cotton and a greater effort than ever before to raise food supplies at home, will put the southern states in better shape than ever before. Too many of our people have devoted themselves entirely to cotton, and have from year to year used the money they received in cotton for buying their food supplies. "There is all sorts of talk about people who are going to take advantage of the fact that the other fellow is going to plant less cotton. Like the very few during the civil war when our sons were at the front, there was a small number who refused to fight so they could reap a harvest of wealth from the patriotism of others, there will be a handful in every community who will go ahead and plant more cotton. But these can almost be counted upon your fingers. "I believe the people of the south are thoroughly aroused on this great question and that they are going to reduce their acreage, hold what cotton they can for better prices and when next fall arrives, I believe the crop of cotton will be much shorter than in years, and that the price will be much higher than it is today." The charge is interfering with a witness summoned to appear before the grand jury. Mr. Connors, who is one of the J. Ogden Armour's most confidential employees, and is the active head of one of the largest packing companies in the world, was arrested shortly afterward on a bench-warrant by a United States deputy marshal and brought to the grand jury room. After considerable delay the prisoner was released on a $5,000 bond. COURT BANISHES.GUY HALL. North Carolina Man Must Leave State for Illegally Selling Booze. E. Guy Hall, whose name was much mentioned during the trial of Wikox for the murder of Nellie Cropsey at Elizabeth City, N. C., three years ago, has been ordered by a judge of the superior court at Raleigh to leave the state. The constitution permits such a sentence in North Carolina. Hall was convicted of selling whiskey in prohibition territory. BOMB-THROWERS ACTIVE Warsaw Police Chief and Half. Dozen Aides Wounded by Deadly Missiles. Thrown by Terrorists. A bomb was thrown into the carriage of Baron von Nolken, chief of police of Warsaw, Russian Poland, at 8 o'clock Sunday evening. It was reported that the baron was severely wounded. According to the latest information the attack on the baron was the result of an elaborate conspiracy of the revolutionary party. Shortly before 8 o'clock an elegantly dressed man went to the police station at Praga, a large suburb of Warsaw on the other side of the Vistula, and threw a bomb into the courtyard-of the station, wounding seven persons, two of them dangerously. The man started to run away, but was caught by the captain of the station. He was found to be a Jew, but his identity has not yet been discovered. A telephone message was immediately sent to Baron von Nolken at the city hall informing him of the outrage. Baron von Nolken, accompanied by a police official, took a carriage and started immediately for Praga. When passing the castle where the governor general resides, a man standing on the pavement threw a lomb at the carriage. Baron von Nolken, who was sitting on the side nearest the assailant, received the side full charge of the bomb, while his companion escaped unhurt. The coachman was thrown from the box and the carriage smashed. Baron von Nolken was removed to the city hall and doctors were summoned, who found he had received injuries on the head, neck and leg, which are believed to be serious. Meanwhile the police official accompanying Baron von Nolken saw the bomb thrower fleeing and pursued and caught up with him, but the criminal proved stronger and tore himself away. Another policeman fired twice after him without result. Half an hour later a man was found dead in Sowla street, whom the police believed to be the bomb thrower. According to later information the bomb which exploded at the Praga police station was not thrown into the courtyard, but into a room of one station where the men assembled were going on duty. Six policemen were wounded, and all the furniture, as well as one wall, was destroyed. The bomb thrower in trying to escape met a policeman and shot twice, wounding the officer in the stomach. The prisoner himself was wounded, and has been placed in the hospital. The man found dead in Sowla street proves to be a plain clothes policeman who was seen pursuing Baron von Nolkei's assault. The police believe that the latter turned on the policeman and shot him dead. A few days ago the Warsaw police discovered eighty bombs hidden in a brick grave in the Powonski cemetery. BIG STEAMERS COLLIDE. Two great trans-Atlantic liners, the Parisian of the Allan line and the Albano, a Hamburg-American boat, both bound in, heavily loaded with passengers, collided off the harbor entrance at Hallifax, Nova Scotia, Saturday night. Both were seriously damaged, but reached their docks and landed their passengers safely. The Parisian's stern touched bottom as she reached her wharf, while hard pumping kept the Albano free. Both steamers were from European ports, the Parisian from Liverpool and the Albano from Hamburg. The Parisian had on board 1,000 passengers, many, of whom were bound for Hallifax and other ports. The Albano carried about eight hundred passengers, nearly all, for Philadelphia, to which port she was to have proceeded. Carnegie Offers Donation. Carson and Lowman college, a Baptist institution at Jefferson City. Tenn., has been offered $10,000 from Andrew Carnegie for a library provided it raises a similar gum. Puts Her Three Little Ones Out of the Way With Poison. Mrs. Mary Brockwell of Paducah, Ky., whose three children, aged 13 and 5 years, died from poisoning under snapulous circumstances, last Saturday, broke down Monday and confessed she had killed them by giving them morphine and coal oil. The woman said that her husband was in an asylum, and that she could not support the children. She also stated that George Alberton promised to marry her if she would get rid of the children. BLUFF BY CASTRO Dictator Gives Most Defiant Answer to Uncle Sam. ARBITRATION IS REFUSED. While Answer is Considered Insulting No Immediate Action Will Be Taken, as Venezuela, Has Best of the Argument Just Now. A Washington special says: President Castro seems to have called the administration's bluff, and from present indications, the United States can do nothing further. Minister Bowen cabled that the Venezuelan president had finally declined to submit to arbitration the claims of the asphalt trust, holding that the case must take its course in the Venezuelan courts Castro seems to be in a position to sit back and say: "What are you going to do about it?" It is known that Minister Bowen commented pretty severely upon the action of the Venezuelan president, and it is understood, the minister goes to the extent or pronouncing the reply insulting. The case in all its hearings was discussed at the cabinet meeting. This tendency was to minimize the importance of the Venezuelan reply, members of the cabinet saying that it has no more effect than to leave the situation where it was a year ago, and there is a disposition to believe that Mr. Bowen may be needlessly excited. In endeavoring to force Castro to arbitration, there is distinct reversal of the policy of the government, which has always been that claims of the character of this one of the asphalt trust must be settled in the courts of the country granting concession and Castro occupies, in consequence, a strong position. Castro has executed a shrew flank movement by entering upon an agreement with the English and German holders of Venezuelan bonds under the terms of which sixty per cent of the port receipts of all ports, save La Guayra, and Puerto Cabello, are to go to the liquidation of Venezuelan exterior debt. The receipts of the two exceptions are now being applied to the settlement of other claims, according to the protocols centered into in Washington about a year ago. This last agreement eliminates the possibility of European interference and apparently leaves the United States high and dry. There is nothing a naval demonstration off Venezuelan ports could accomplish, and the only effect of such a move would be to make this country ridiculous. So far as can be ascertained, there is absolutely no warrant for any such demonstration. It is the Indicated intention of the president and Secretary Taft, who, in the absence of Secretary Hay, is being relied on for advice in matters pertaining to foreign affairs, simply to await further developments in Venezuela. It is not believed that the situation, now is of such a character as to warrant alarm. Indeed, the president is proceeding, with the arrangements for his southwestern trip without reference to the Venezuelan imbroglio. It is regarded as possible that further developments in the Venezuelan situation may be forthcoming in a few days, but it is not believed in Washington they will add to its seriousness. How Castro Views Master. The World prints the following dispatch from President Castro: "I have received your telegrams. There is in reality between Venezuela and Washington no question of sufficient importance to occupy public attention and worthy of attention by serious persons. Your minister holds himself aloof from the good understanding that exists, but Venezuela will defend with ardor the common interests and honor of both countries." Medical License is Obtained The Nebraska state senate has passed the Christian Science bill, all ready passed by the house, which requires all healers to take a four-year course in medicine and pass the exam- amination required of regular physi- icians. When the governor signs the bill, all Christian Science healing for- ces will be stopped in the state until after the healers have obtained licen- ces. Japs and Russians to End Hostilities in Six Weeks; Agents of Russia and Japan-Sald to Have Heid Informal Preliminary Conferences—Situation, How ever, is Being Guarded. A St. Peterburg's dispatch says : The information contained in these dispatches for over a week regarding the change in Emperor Nicholas' attitude concerning the advisability of making a pacific proposal to Japan is fully confirmed and in every high quarters peace within six weeks is regarded as certain. The positiveness with which this is affirmed would in dicate that the government is already in possession of information, as the Japanese terms would indicate a basis which Russian can agree to. The exact situation is shrouded in mystery. The secret of what has been done and what is being done is zealously guarded. The Associated Press hears, however, from a source close to the throne that pour parleurs are actually in progress in Paris, but possibly only of a preliminary character, and that Copenhagen may be the scene of the first exchanges between representatives of the two powers. In this connection importance is being attached to the visit of M. D'iswolsky, Russian minister at Copenhagen, and Baron Rosen, former Russian minister to Japan, to Bomhard, the French ambassador to Russia, on Tuesday. The parties to this conference refuse to admit that significance is attached to it. In the meantime, the foreign office is silent. Inquiry, says a Paris special, tends to confirm strongly the statement already made that approaches toward peace nave begun at a private conference in a northern European capital. In view of the statement from St. Petersburg that pour parleurs were going on in Paris, the Associated Press Saturday night called at the Russian embassy and the Japanese legation. Ambassador Nelldorf stated specifically that he knew nothing about such negotiations being in progress, and Minister Montono, while declining to discuss the general question of peace, authorized the statement that no pour parleurs were occurring in Paris. At the foreign office it was also stated that officials there were not aware of steps toward peace. The foregoing statements by Count Nellgoff and Dr. Montono, while indicating that negotiations are not proceeding in Paris, do not alter the main statement that peace preliminaries are actually progressing elsewhere. The personage acting for Russia in the preliminary stage of the negotiations is described as "a leading general." The personage acting for Japan is not disclosed, but he is believed to be one who has heretofore taken no prominent part in Japanese affairs. It is stated in French diplomatic quarters that among the conditions of peace which Japan might ask would be that Russians give a pledge to build no more warships for a term of years. A diplomatic official said that such a condition would be the most effective means of assuring Japan against Russia's carrying out her cherished project of naval rearmament for the renewal of hostilities under better conditions than those at present existing. It is well known that Russia contemplates a huge plan of naval rehabilitation. This appears to have stimulated Japan's diplomats to consider means of avoiding a peace that would be equivalent, to no more than a truce during which Russia would have time to forge an effective weapon, and, therefore, the intimation is now given that limitation of Russian naval armament may figure as a means of ensuring a prolonged peace, in the Orient. SMALL FARMERS UNPLEDGED. Critical Time of State Association of Cotton Growers in North Carolina. A. Raleigh, N. C., dispatch says: It is regarded by the cotton growers that this is a very critical time in their affairs. The agents of the state association are going in every direction urging the farmers to stand together, and getting every plea possible for unity of action as to holding crop and reducing蓄畜. Among the smaller farmers, who still unity in few hales, there not given any problem. Term of Ten Years Given Mrs. Chadwick by Court. Convicted Woman Heard Sentence Pronounced with Stolcal Indiffer- ence—Her Attorneys Prepare ta Take Case Higher Up. Unless the higher court interferes Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick will spend the greater part of the next ten years in the Ohio state penitentiary. A sentence of ten years was. im- posed on her by Judge Robert W. Taylor in the United States district court at Cleveland, Monday evening. The sentence came at the close of a busy day for the court in hearing arguments on a motion for a new trial which lasted all day. The motion was overruled. Mrs. Chadwick was convicted on seven counts and sentenced upon six counts. For four of these counts a sentence of two years each was imposed. Upon two counts a sentence of one year each was imposed, making a total sentence of ten years. As soon as the sentence was pronounced Attorney J. P. Dawley of counsel for Mrs. Chadwick, took exceptions to the sentences upon each count except the first count. The defense intends to make the claim that the court cannot impose a separate sentence for each count. No action will be taken by United States Attorney Sullivan regarding the other six indictments against Mrs. Chadwick: in the federal-court until the present case is finally disposed of. If the present case and sentence are sustained by the last court, the other cases will be dropped, otherwise they will be used against the woman. Mrs. Chadwick was not particularly effected by the action of the court, seemingly she had resigned herself to any action that might be taken. The court asked her if she had anything to say why sentence should not be pronounced. She looked around in bewilderment. Her hearing being very poor, she was not certain what was taking place/and had not the slightest idea what the court said. She was then led forward nearer the bench and the court shouted the question. She then understood. "I have something to say," she said, "but I would like to consult with my attorneys first." "You may do so, but it must be immediately," the court enjoined her, "If you have anything to say you must say it now." Mrs. Chadwick said there was nothing she cared to say herself. Her attorneys made no appeal to the court and the sentence was immediately imposed. Judge Taylor made no remarks except to explain the terms of the sentence. He stated that the sentence of one count should begin at the expiration of the one preceding it. Assist Cotton Association. Governor Joseph M. Terrell of Georgia will assist the Georgia division of the Southern Cotton Association in appealing to the farmers of the state to reduce their cotton acreage this year. Governor J. K. Vargaman of Mississippi has been stumping his state for some time past. Governor Terrell will join in the fight. The governor pops the farmers as well know and he will no doubt assistance to the staff is understood that presidents willernors and greer the movement.

Last-week a policeman, it is charged, entered a colored church in the Southern section and in ordering the services tc be closed, used improper lan. guage. This matter has been reported to the mayorand an investigation will be held. If the charge is true, the policeman undoubtedly acted in an un- called for manner. There could be no provocation for him to so act, but of self-importance. If the members of the church were making more nvise than usual, or if the meeting did extend untila late hour, there was a ‘way to remedy both rather than giving undue interference to them in the worshipping of God.

I'm oft inclined to wonder if an angleworm, when frozen stiff, Would meet with any luck at all, Supposing that it tried to crawl. Then, too, I often wonder whether a man who set about to_tether Ten tigers in a field like cows, Could make the striped creatures brow And then again I wonder which Is stickiest—tar, glue or pitch. Perhaps each, all or either are, But I should say pitch, glue or tar. And, furthermore, I wonder why A normal person such as I Can't walk about upon one hand— Some things we never understand. But most of all, I wonder how A man can tell just when is Now, For Now keeps going back to Then. While Soon is straightway Now again 'Tis useless, though, to wonder what Is meant by this impressive rot. Two of the players sit down, at cloth, large enough to prevent seeing anything, is put over heads. Then two other persons them on the head with long rok paper, which they have in their hips and ask, in feigned voices, "Who's you?"

Millions of boys and girls play the world over, yet never give a gull thought to its inventor. Most em will be surprised to learn that simple a thing needed "inventing" ball. Herodotus and Homer, two ous Greek writers, have present the inventor's name, and it is a nine one. Yes, a woman made first toy ball, and her name was Alla. She was a noble lady of Corandre she gave it when finished to little daughter of the King of Alchn. No other toy has furnisheduch amusement, nor is there air so necessary in many games, this simple article. It is strange that so few of these games are girls. Do not forget that the balls invented by a woman for girlsough boys may be grateful for a fun they have with it.-IndiananNews. HOME-MADE JEWEL A handful of beads in eyelor of the rainbow may be had in tarleton bags. It is a good idea out the beads that match—say, jel pink ones, all the blue ones arose of any other color that rese pretty jewels. These may be into necklace lengths for dollswing as pearls, corals or turquoiscording to color. This makes most economelyewelry. The whole bag of beads but five cents. These beads also serve fer ways, in addition to the bead that is done on frames. A row of small white biwith one larger pink or blue one e centre, does very well for a brz fancy bead or other pt at the end. If the color be chq harmony with dolly's dress that will be pleasing. Lorgnette chains arly made, too. For these tiny are most elegant. A flat for a grown-ups of brown silk, with a row of broods around the edge of the brimte approved style. These beads may bealso to fine advantage in makinint leather moccasins for dolls of old kid gloves. A TEA TABLICK. Here is a tea table that will astonish every one. I'll need two forks, a pitcher and thickplack. Interlace the tips ofongs of the forks, so that they only together in V shape. Then a toothpick through these interprongs just far enough to securely.

The other end of the tooth should then be lodged in the m a pitcher which is high enough low the handles of the dependents to clear the table. With nothole it, the single toothpick will support the two forks without or breaking, a test most of to the ordinary eculator and a most fruitful source of eculation and animated discussion.— new York Evening Mail. THE ANIMALS IN THE FIRE. Walter had been out skating, and the old wind which swept down over the frozen lake made his toes and fingers lingle, so that when he got home he hurried to get warm. Kneeling down close in front of the coal fire, which named and crackled in the open fireplace, while his brother and sister looked over their portfolio of pictures, he gazed into the glowing coals in the grate. By and by he climbed up into an armchair. The heat made him sleepy, and he closed his eyes. He opened them in great astonishment, a moment later, when he heard a shrill "Cock-adoodle-doo!" which sounded very close to him. He knew there were no chickens in the room, because the chickens were all out on the farm in the country, and he was just beginning to think that he had been dreaming when he heard the "Cock-adoodle-doo" again. This time it seemed to come from in front of him, and he looked into the fireplace, though how a "cock-adoodle-do" could come from the midst of the fire he did not know. As his eyes fell on the fire he gave a jump in the chair and stared as hard as he could. There, in front of him, perched on a piece of coal, was a comical little rooster. "Well," said the rooster, "you are the slowest boy to get awake that I ever knew, and I have wakened all kinds of boys in my life. I am the Cock that Crew in the Morn." "Did the Priest all Shaven and Shorn wake up?" asked Walter, eagerly. "Of course he did," answered the rooster; "else how co-ld he marry the Milkmaid to the Man all Tattered and Torn? "Of course," said Walter, "I might have thought of that." "We thought of it," said another voice. "We were at the wedding." And a big black-and-white cat crawled out from a hole in the coals and stood beside the rooster. "I am the Cat that Caught the Rat," said he. "Once upon a time I wore boots, and helped my master to marry the Princess." "Bow-vow-wow!" barked a little dog, which came running from a corner. The cat jumped nimbly to the top of a big piece of coal, where she put up her back at the dog and made a great hissing noise. "Ooh!" said Walter. "I guess you must be the Dog that Worried the Cat, aren't you?" "I thought you would know me," barked the dog. "I am the same dog right along; I never belong to a witch. If a witch came around I would bark at her. Hello! there's the Ugly Duckling. I guess I'll bark at her." But, the wary old duck scampered off. "How is it that you all are here?" asked Walter. "I thought you all were dead a long time ago. And I do not see how you can live in the fire." "Oh, the fire does not hurt us," said the Cock that Crew in the Morn, before any of the others could answer. "And we did not die. We never die; and we live in the fire; not always in this fire, for we like to go about from one place to another, but some of us are here most of the time: You can see us in any fire if you look carefully. The best time to see us is in the evening, just before the lights are lit; then we come out to see what is going on." "And you'll, see something going on now," snapped a red fox, jumping from behind a pile of coals and dashing at the rooster. The rooster dodged to one side and gave a diversive crow. "Just let that old rooster alone," growled a deep voice; and Walter, looking into a corner of the fireplace, saw a great bear. "I am the Big Bear who lived in the wood," said Brunin. "Here comes my son, the Little Bear." "Whatever became of Goldenlocks?" asked Walter of the Little Bear. "Would you have hurt her if you had caught her when she came to your house in the wood and sat in your chair?" "No," said the Little Bear, laughing. "I would have played with her, and told her where the best berries grew that summer." "And what fun we do have in summer!" said the Sly Old Fox. "Do you know, Little Bo-peep was watching her sheep one day when—" "Walter, Walter! come to supper," some one called suddenly, and at the sound of the voice all the birds and beasts scuttled for nooks and erannies in the conls. "I'll tell you that tale another time," said Sly Old Fox, and dodged into his hole just as Walter's elder sister came into the room. "Wake up, Walter; supper is ready," she said, shaking him by the shoulder; but Walter declared that he had not been asleep at all, but was just watching the animals. After supper he went back to the fire, but there were too many people in the room, and although he caught a glimpse of one or two of the animals, none of them came out and spoke to him. But Walter hopes that some time, in the twilight, he will see them all again, and that then the Sly Old Fox will finish the story of "how Bo-peep's sheep all ran away"—Henry Holcomb Bennett, in St. Nicholas, Pluck and Adventure. UNEXPECTED GOOD LUCK. held up' by a desperado in Arizona. At that time the banker owned a small copper-mine in Arizona, and had gone down there to show it to an Eastern man who wished to buy. He liked the mine, and took it, and to the astonishment of the former owner, he paid for it in United States bills of large denomination. I asked him how he dared to travel away from the line of the railroad with so much money, but he laughed, says the banker, and replied that he didn't know any one in the region who would cash his check, and that no one knew he had the money, anyhow. Then I parted company with him. He rode back to Phenix, while I started with a fresh pony toward the main line of the railway, twenty miles away. I didn't feel very nervous, for I was riding across the desert, which was entirely flat except for the scattered blue mesas that stood like loaves of bread upon its surface. It was not until I saw another horseman coming toward me that I scented trouble. You see this happened not very long ago, and the old habit of carrying weapons had already begun to fall off, so I was completely unarmed. "Hello, stranger!" said the newcomer, who looked extremely 'hard up.' "I've lost my way. Which way are you going?" I made the best of it and chatted pleasantly with him. Finally, when he had looked me all over, he said, "Stranger, I've got a gun and you haven't, I reckon, so I'll ask you to hand-over your watch and money, and then I'll say goodby." He had taken out a revolver, and it seemed advisable to follow his directions. I gave him my watch and loose change, but he did not seem satisfied, and made me get off my horse, and after he had prodded me he discovered the fat wallet of bills in my shirt. Then he looked at me critically and smiled. "You're dressed pretty well, stranger," he said, "and you're about my size. I ain't dressed very well. Take off those clothes, and do it quick. I want to catch a train and get out of this country, but I like the way your clothes look, and I want to wear them myself." "You aren't going to leave me here without clothes?" I asked, angrily. He laughed then and said, "Oh, no. I'll give you my outfit, and won't charge you a cent for it. Come now! I'm in a hurry!" I took off my clothes, and then, according to his command, turned my back while he cautiously took off his and put mine on. Then he jumped on his horse, looked at my watch, and said, "Good-by, stranger! Don't try to follow me. It ain't healthy." There was nothing for me to do but put on his old clothes and take another direction on my pony. I was feeling pretty miserable about the loss of my money—a little over seven thousand dollars—and my watch, and I did not feel any better by the time I reached the railroad and jumped off my horse at the station. I told my story, and they telegraphed a description of the man up and down the line, while I sat in the waiting-room. I had made up my mind that I should never see my money again, but suddenly, under my arm, resting at my side, I left something that seemed stiffer than the cloth in the coat. I put my hand in, and there was the wallet! He had put it in his own clothes when he took it away from me, and in his hurry had forgotten to change it back again when he put on my suit. SCHMALSKI'S FAMOUS RIDE Mounted on the best unwounded horse, armed only with a carbine, and dressed in dark clothing, he, soon after dark, stole out of the corral of wagons, and was soon discovered by the Indians, who at once gave chase. In the darkness there was no chance to pick his way, and he ran into a prairie-dog town and was nearly thrown over his horse's head by a stumble into a hole. He lost his hat and carbine, and would have been caught if he had not run into a buffalo herd. Bending low over the neck of his horse, he ran alongside of a huge bull, and in the darkness and confusion could not be distinguished from the animals about him; and the chase was soon abandoned. He had lost all sense of direction and the clouds hid the stars; but finding himself on a down grade, he followed it till he reached a river which he knew must be the Canadian. But, owing to recent rains, the stream was in flood and crossing dangerous, owing to liability to being caught in quicksands, or encountering floating objects in mid-current, which was very rapid. He followed it for some distance, intending to cross as soon as possible after daybreak; but when the barking of dogs warned him of the proximity of an Indian village, he was forced to risk the crossing. It was safely made, and he soon found that he was at the point where a section of broken, brush-covered country called the Antelope Hills reached the river; and leading his horse, he forced his way into the thickets covering the rough ground and lay there all day without food or drink for either man or beast. Once he crawled to the point of the spur on which he lay, and looked down upon a large camp not two miles away. As soon, as night had fallen, still leading his horse, he, with the north star as compass, renewed his march, and hat- less, with his clothing in tatters from contact with the brush; nearly thirty-six hours without water, and forty-eight without food he, about eight of clock, the next morning, reached the hay camp, on Wolf Creek, about twenty miles from Camp Supply. There he was fed, and given a fresh horse, and soon after noon reported at the post. It took two hours to 'get the relief column and medical supplies ready, and during that time he ate, and slept, and then guided the relieving force to the acense of disaster—about ninety miles—in the next twenty-four hours.

George Weisbrod, Sr., and Christian Hess, who have just returned from thak game preserve in the wilds' of Pike county, had enough adventures with bears and other ferocious animals to fill a big book. Both men are enthusiastic hunters, and in the midst of a blinding snow storm that swept over Pike County last week, stirred out to do a little gumming. The ravines and passes were filled with snow, and after tramping. around all day they lit their camp fire by the side of a high bluff. A couple of deer they had killed were soon roasting over the blaze, and the tired hunters were just ready to begin eating when they were startled by a cracking of twigs and boughs and in almost a twinkling twenty huge black bears were right in their midst. On the instant Welsbrod and Hess selzed their Winchesters and blazed away. Both men are dead shots and two bears at once fell with bullets in their hearts. Seeing two of their number dead, the survivors stopped fighting over the half cooked deer and directed their attack against the hunters. Their angry howls brought twenty more bears to the scene, and Welsbrod and Hess were obliged to seek the top of the bluff, where they could fire with better effect. With howls of rage the bears began to swarm around them, and a battle for life began. The bears made furious rushes, and at times the men were forced to use their rifles as clubs. Selzing one big bear, Mr. Welsbrod, who is a powerful man, threw it into an adjoining ravine. As fast as they could throw cartridges into their guns the men fired, and it was not until daylight that the battle was ended by the bears taking flight, after twenty-six of their number lay dead. One giant animal, measuring seven feet and weighing 600 pounds, Mr. Welsbrod killed with his bowle knife in a hand-to-hand encounter. All the dead bears were taken yesterday to Amber and Adams streets, where they will be stuffed and mounted as mementoes of a night that both men will never forget. Philadelphia Telegraph. A JUNGLE FRIGHT. In the night I was startled from sleep by a crashing in the near-by jungle which sounded as if all the trees in Sumatra were being torn up and simultaneously smashed to earth. In the soundless midnight jungle the noise seemed tremendous, as indeed it was, and right at our very ears. It was my first experience with elephants, and I must confess it was nerve-trying to lie quiet with that crashing all around and no surety that the elephants might not take a fancy to stalk in upon us, or what minute the fancy might possess them. Nor did it lend peace to the anxiety of the moment to realize that one elephant, much less a herd, is only now and again providentially stopped in his tracks by powder and ball; for at the base of the trunk and through the ear are 'the only instantly vulnerable places to your rifle bullet. To have an elephant break cover immediately beside you is not so serious a matter on hard open ground, where you may have good footing and trees, and it is not impossible to dodge, but in a jungle where you cannot make your way except by constant use of knife, and sink over your ankles in muck at every step, is quite another story, and one full of trouble on occasion. Needless to say, sleep was impossible while the elephants ripped the jungle into pieces, and it was too black to attempt hunting; so we lay anxiously, not to say fearfully, awaiting developments; given now and then an extra start by the shrill trumpeting of the elephants—which, shortly before daybreak, suddenly moved away, to leave all quiet once again. If anything is more disconcerting than the bugling of elephants in the still of the jungle night, as they inclose you in a' crashing circle, I have yet to experience it—Outing. LIKE A VIKING OF OLD. An incident has just occurred at Liverpool, England, which recalls the days and deeds of the Vikings. The Ullon, a trading vessel from Barcelona, Spain, ran upon a shoal at the mouth of the Mersey River, on the night of January 6. A blizzard was raging at the time, and aid could not go out from the shore. All the next day the crew threw cargo overboard in a vain attempt to lighten and float the vessel. The next day a part of the crew put off in small boats and were picked up. A lifeboat took the rest off. Captain Vincent Besrooen, a Norwegian, refused to go. Reluctantly, the lifeboat crew drew off, feeling they were abandoning a slave man to death. But the ship did not break up. When the storm subsided, a tug went out to find the modern Norse sea king on deck. Nor would he leave the vessel entrusted to his care and honor until written orders to do so from its owners were brought to him. He surrendered to superior authority, but was unconquered by wind and wave. BOTH FOR ONLY $1.25 SENT TO ANY ADDRESS IN AMERICA.

By Grace Terry. He was not very quick to learn, Nor "promising," 'swas sard; He was not of a brilliant buty, Nor one to "go ahead"; Defects—if they must be confessed— In plenty had the youth. But this one virtue he possessed— He always told the truth. In every way he seemed below The average of boys. In intalect, and "push," and "go,"— And all that youth enjoys; But no, one ever doubled him, Because they knew, forsooth— Yes, even those who flouted him— He always told the truth. For the ON-DAVID, it strikes me that you are out a great deal of late. I don't approve of boys of your age being out evenings; it leads to bad company and bad ON DAVID, it strikes me that you are out a great deal of late. I don't approve of boys of your age being out evenings; it leads to bad company, and bad company leads to all kinds of badness. I hope you don't spend your time at the tavern? "Bon David," a broad-shouldered six-footer, smiled a little, and colored a great deal at those words, which were delivered with a precision, and a solemnity of look and tone that made them doubly impressive. "There's no occasion for any alarm, father; I keep very good company. And as for the tavern, I haven't set foot in it for six months or more." About the usual hour, David laid inside his book, and putting on a clean collar and a linen coat, fresh from the hands of Aunt Betsey, sauntered down toward the village. This had been his custom for several weeks past, and the old deacon shook his head with a perplexed and somewhat troubled air. "I suppose the lad finds it rather dull here," he mused; "the house is lonely." And, as he recalled the light of a certain bright eye and a sunny smile, what he had thought of doing "for the sake of David" seemed a not unpleasant thing to do for his own. "I think I'll go and consult Parson Dunlow," thought the deacon, who, like the generality of mankind, having fully made up his mind on the subject, determined to seek advice, not for the purpose of gaining any additional light, but to strengthen and confirm his own opinions. The worthy deacon bestowed quite as much time upon his toilet before leaving the house as did "Son David." And if a glimpse of the sprinkling of gray in the hair that he brushed so carefully away from his temples made him somewhat doubtful as to the result of his mission, if was but for a moment. Ought not any woman to be proud of the honor of becoming Mrs. Deacon Quimby, wife of one of the most wealthy and influential citizens of the place, even though his hair might be a little frosty and his form not so erect as when he departed on the selfsame errand thirty years before. In the weekly prayer meetings, of which he took the lead, the deacon often called himself "the chief of sinners," "an unprofitable servant," and the like, confessing and bewailing the depravity of his heart. But, like a great many other self-styled "miserable sinness," he had a tolerably good opinion of himself after all, making the above confession with an air that seemed to say: "If I, Deacon Quimby, a pillar of the church, and a shining example to you all, can say this, what must be the condition of the majority of those around me?" He found Parson Dunlow in his study, hard at work upon his next Sunday's discourse. But he was used to interruptions, and had a sincere liking for the worthy deacon, who was his right-hand man in every good work; so, laying down his pen, he shook him warmly by the hand and bade him be seated. But somehow the deacon found it difficult to get out what he came to say—the words seemed to stick in his throat. But, at last he managed to stammer: "I I have called, parson, to—to see you about my son, David, whose conduct has occasioned me a great deal of uneasiness of late." "You surprise me, Brother Quimby; I consider him to be an unusually steady and exemplary young man." "He has been, parson, very steady indeed—at home every evening, busy with his book or paper. But now he's out most every night, and sometimes don't return until quite late." A faint smile flickered around Parson Dunlow's mouth, but it was unobserved by the deacon, who resumed: "The fact is, the boy wants a mother." "He wants a wife, you mean," was the parson's inward comment, but he said nothing, for he hadn't filled his sacred office a quarter of a century without learning that 'some things are better thought than spoken. "It is a very important step," resumed Deacon Quimby, after waiting vainly for the parson to speak, "and—and as I think 'of taking to myself another companion for—for the sake of David, I thought I would come—and consult you about it." "Here the deacon wiped the perspiration from his forehead, betraying so much hesitancy and embarrassment as to quite astonish the good parson, who, to-reassure him, said briskly: "To be sure, Brother Quimby. And a very good idea it is, too, for yourself, and, no doubt, for your son. David, and I shall be very glad to assist you "Uncoubh" and "awkward" how it Whoa on his ears it fell.

Sake of David. By Grace Terry. in the matter. There are many very worthy ladies in the church and vellinity, so that you cannot fall to be suited. There's the Widow Bean her sons are now man grown and quite off her hands. A most excellent and worthy woman is the Widow Bean." But the deacon did not seem to receive his suggestion with much favor; he shifted one leg uneasily over the other. "As you say, parson, the Widow Bean is a most excellent and worthy woman; but—but the leadings of Providence don't seem to be in that direction." "Well, then there is Miss Mary Ann Pease, a member of the church for many years, and an ornament to her sex and profession. Now that her brother is married again, she is quite at liberty, and will make you a very desirable helmate." "True, very true, parson; I have the highest respect for Sister Pease. But—but the leadings of Providence don't seem to be 'in that direction, either.' The good parson looked puzzled, but, honestly Gessroos of assisting his visitor, he made another effort. "Brother Jones has a number of daughters, and either of the two eldest would be—". "Yes, yes, parson," interrupted the deacon, rather impatient, "I know that very well. But I think that—that, for the sake of David, I had better marry some one younger and more lively, and who would consequently be more of a—sort of companion for him." A sudden light broke in upon Parson Dunlow's mind. "Perhaps you have some one already in view. Brother Quimby?" "Well, yes, parson. I have sought Divine light, and the leadings of Providence seem to be in the direction of your family; in short, toward your daughter, Miss Emma, whose stalid and discreet behavior, I am happy to say, would do honor to more mature years." It was not the first time. In Parson Dunlow's pastoral experience, that he had known people to mistake the leading of their own hearts for "the leadings of Providence," but if he had any suspicion that this might be the case with the worthy deacon, he prudently kept it to himself. So, without evincing anything of the dismay and consternation at his heart, he said: "I cannot fail to realize, Brother Quimby, the high compliment of such a desire. But you remember the words of Rebekah's parents under like circumstances: 'We will call the damsel and inquire at her mouth. I don't know that we can do better than follow their example. "Willie," he added, going to the window, "run and tell Emma that father wants to see her in his study." "She's dot company," said the little fellow; "and is doing to dive me a new ball if I'll stay out in the yard." "No matter," said his father, smiling; "you shall not lose the new ball. So run along." Miss Emma, though very pleasantly engaged, dutifully obeyed her father's summons. She blushed as her eyes fell upon the deacon, to whom she dropped a pretty, deferential courtesy. "My daughter," said the parson, gravely, "Deacon Quimby informs me that, for the sake of David, he has concluded to take to himself another wife, and that his choice has fallen upon you. I have ever left such matters to you, but you cannot fall to realize the value of such an offer, and I trust you will give it the consideration it demands." Emma opened her brown eyes widely at this, announcement, and then the long lashes fell over them, and lay quivering upon the rosy cheeks. But, unexpected as was the position in which she found herself placed, her woman's wit did not desert her. "I should be very happy to become Deacon Quimby wife,rapa," she said, duremely, "if I had not already promised, for the sake of David, to do my best to be a daughter to him." Deacon Quimby was so accustomed to consider his son as a mere boy that it was some minutes before his mind took in the sense of these words. "Do you mean to say, Miss Emma," he said; at last, regarding the blushing girl with a bewildered air, "that you are going to marry my son?" "With your permission, sir," responded Emma, with a smile and glance that would have softened a far harder heart than the deacon's. "I have already obtained that of my father." Deacon Quimby turned his eyes upon Mr. Dunlow, who had been a quiet but interested listener to this. "Why, David is nothing but a boy, parson!" "He is a year older than you were when you married, deacon," was the smiling response. True; so he was. "I dare say it does not seem possible," continued the parson. "I can hardly bring myself to realize that it is eighteen years ago since my little girl here, was laid in my arms; but so it is." As the good deacon looked at the blooming maiden, and remembered how often he had held her, a smiling habe, in his arms, the convolution was suddenly forced upon him that that he had been, making an old fool of himself. "The rather embarrassing silence that followed was pleasantly broken by David's cheery voice and pleasant smile. "You seem to have quite a family party," he said, pushing open the door. "So this is where you spend your evenings, young man!" said his father, snaking his finger at him, with an air of mock displeasure. "Ah, I see very plainly that I shall never be able to keep you at home, unless I can persuade Miss Emma to come and live with me. What say you, my dear?" "That I will come very willingly," returned the smiling and blushing girl, "for the sake of David."—New York Weekly. A Traveling College. The farmers in Illinois, as well as those in other States, last year were taught scientific farming by rail. The train consisted of two cars, arranged to allow speakers to make their talks aboard, was a sort of itinerant agricultural college, sowing knowledge at every stop. The project was under the supervision of the University of Illinois, and was fostered by the Burlington on the grounds that the more grain the farmers raise the more there will be to shift over its lines. The first stop was at Aurora, where Dean W. A. Henry, of the University of Wisconsin, talked a half hour on the way to tell good seed, and the kind of soil it ought to be planted in. Ten minutes was used in inspecting samples of earth and seed aboard the cars. Eleven more stops were made before the train reached Polo for the night. The next day Dean Eugene Davenport, of the University of Illinois, was the speaker, and on it day following Dr. F. H. Hall, State Superintendent of the Farmers' Institute, did the talking. Every town of importance on the Burlington-lines in Illinois was visited. The next trip of the "Seed and Soil Special" will be through Missouri, and their it will visit Iowa, Western Nebraska and Wyoming.-Chicago Tribune The invention of new methods for sending a number of messages simultaneously over the same wire continues; and one of the most recent of those is due to Professor Mercadier of the French High School for Post and Telegraph. In this method an alternating current is employed whose frequency depends upon a tuning-folk having a certain definite number of vibrations. The current of such an interrupted circuit can be broken by an ordinary key, and signals transmitted over the line wire by an induction transmitter. On the line at the distant station are a number of so-called monotelephones which respond to current of one frequency, and are turned to the forks in the circuits at the sending station. Thus each particular circuit has its own telephone, which is connected by tubes with the cars of the receiving operator, and responds to the signals made at the sending station. In all, twelve transmission circuits are provided, so that twenty-four messages can be sent over the line simultaneously. A double line or metallic circuit, is required, but otherwise the apparatus is comparatively simple, and involves merely the adjustment of the tuning-forks and suitable condensers and inductance coils.—Week's Progress. Children's Love. Happiness in marriage is a good deal like happiness in work; it goes far deeper than more gratification. While gratification fades, happiness remains, and beckons, as it were, a part of one's nature. When my wife and I had passed the youthful period of our love, we knew that we had experienced an intensity of happiness that we could never know again; but the great compensation was to know that we had no wish to experience it again, because we had found something stable and better, a happiness associated with our most serious interests, with our responsibilities toward society and toward our children. Moreover, with nearly all intense gratification there is the accompaniment of pain; but the love of children is, in its very nature, an unalloyed delight. With the coming of our children my wife and I knew that we had been given the greatest incentive to good living that human being can have. If children cannot make parents live to lead fine lives, nothing can—From "The Autobiography of a Married Man," Everybody's Magazine. The New George. Johnny was worried about Washington's greatness. He turned to his mother and said: "Washington's all right, but Grant's more like me." "How is that?" "Well" (throwing out a diminutive hest), "he could tell a lie when he had to." "But, Johnny, you never tell lies, do you?" "Why, mamma, you know I do. You always find me out." A moment of silence. "Mamma." "Well, Johnny." "When you were a little girl didn't you ever tell a lie?" Mamma was stumped. Then she answered: "I always tried to tell the truth." "Well, why don't they celebrate you?" OF INTEREST TO WOMEN HOW TO AMUSE THE CHILDREN. Some one wanted to know how to amuse little ones. Perhaps this may help. I have three, and some days I am at my wits' end to know how to amuse them. Rainy days are a source of regret among most children, and no wonder they get mischievous. I take some pieces of brown paper, such as comes from the store, and cut it into a convenient size and sew it in the middle, making a book. Then I give them each an old magazine and let them in. I make a dish of flour paste and they use toothpicks for brushes. I let them sit at the kitchen table, and this keeps them busy.—Boston Globe. TWO PLUCKY WOMEN. A charming woman who in an instant was left a widow several years ago, with a tiny income and two babies, has provided a good living for herself and family ever since by making children's sailor suits for exclusive trade. She has a small apartment in a good neighborhood, the 'little boy and girl are in a private school,' and all three are going abroad soon for a year. Later, the son expects to enter college. Another woman, out in Ohio, is conducting a flourishing business in infants' moccasins of kid. She began five years ago by making the little shoes herself at home, but "so great has the demand grown," says The Woman's Journal "that now she employs twenty workers, who turn out a thousand palts of moccasins a week."—New York Tribune. THE BACHELOR GIRL'S DUTIES. "I feel—" "Whenever you start off like that," said Cynthia, studiously refilling the ball, "I make it strong, and—put a stick in it." "An impulse to—" "Well, don't; for the women's clubs will find it out and be'moving and seconding things." "To stop every bachelor girl on the street, for I can tell them—" "Um-m, a few things, you think: Well, I doubt it." "I can tell a bachelor girl any time by her freedom of step, her look of joyous independence, and her——" "Pin wrinkles," said Cynthia, putting down the pot. "No, happiness; her look of general content at doing something." "Now, I thought that independence fad had been overworked." "It hasn't. It's limitless. It's the solving of everything." "Gracious!" said Cynthia, taking precipitately to her cup. "But whenever I see a bachelor girl I feel like stopping her and saying, 'What did you do with your mother?'" "Mother? Now, er-husband don't you think would be——" "Don't try to be clever and things, Cynthia, it isn't like you, and it only sounds affected." "Ah, me," sighed Cynthia. "It has gone deep in. Let me get another cup and I shall stand it." "People, I think, would better stop writing daughter papers and make them 'What shall we do with our mothers?'" "Why don't you? There's a good topic: 'Our mothers, and how we should bring them up.'" "For I tell you there never are anything like the companionship of mother and daughter. It's so acut it hurts. When I see the growth world of independent girls, I realize the whole family relationship has he changed. The convention of the family is upset. Then there don't you see, is the dangerous stage of girls forgetting their mothers. I do not mean they really ever forget their home training. I do not mean to preach. I think pretty well of the girls of the day. But don't you know it's the little things, the little outward expressions of love and sympathy that must go on, that our mothers positively feed upon. So infinitely much more is expected of a girl who goes into the world and does things than a man. A man is taught from the beginning that he is meant to leave home, and to do; he is a free agent to work out his own success. A girl never, quite separates herself from home. The bachelor girl is the daughter still until she has a home of her own. I know that Emerson says a lot of idealistic things about being individual and living out one's own destiny. Don't you think some over idealistic people apply this a little selfishly. Many of our mothers are old-fashioned. They are not equal to Emerson. The bachelor girl is a problem which faces them something like the strange duckling faced the hen. "You know we are never more than nine years old to our mothers. And sometimes even the most tiresomely self-reliant bachelor girl is glad to be only nine years old. Mothers are good institutions, Cynthia. "I met a splendid woman recently, who is very successful in New York. She was quick in understanding. She said, 'My dear, you are trying to do the impossible. You are working with one sense and worrying about your mother with the other. It won't do. Let me tell you something. Do all that you know is your duty, then stop. Write regularly. Go to your home when you can. In between times put it entirely out of your mind. That is the only thing to do. When have gray hairs and have been away from home as long as I have you learn this philosophy." "But how about them?" said I. "They, why they are so much stronger than we are that we can't ever comprehend it. They have ways enduring things we cannot understand Seriously, Cynthia, did you ever this of the colossal unselfishness of mothers? I shouldn't ever want—" "You shouldn't ever want—" "To be one. The terrible self effectment she lives out is too great. The world doesn't repay mothers—we as never do enough to make it up to them."—New York Evening Globe. When a machine drags a man out to register and vote his wife brags about him as a political leader. Don't wear tight shoes. In time they bring a permanent agonized expression that is not beautiful to behold to even a young face. Don't speak with all the muscles of the face. It is very charming and captivating to be deeply, deadly in earnest, but facial grimaces form creases, which in time become wrinkles. Don't neglect ten minutes' rest during the day, if you anyhow manage it, with the feet raised. It gives the whole body a great sense of repose and works wonders in smoothing out the lines of the face. Some of the women's clubs are greatly worried over how the feminine American should "salute the flag" when they meet it on the street. More real respect and less outward show is a good thing to cultivate toward the nation's emblem.—Boston Transcript. She may arise at what she calls distinction.

FADS FANCIES Wide lends itself better to costumes than to jacket suits. Something quite new in embroidery for full dress parties is frosted silver, a lovely application upon lace when used as the outline of a bold pattern. Black chiffon makes an excellent back-ground for frosted silver, and gives a somber gown of this description all the beauty it can possibly possess. Wide hats, especially those of long nap beaver, retain their vogue for young girls. A little license is allowed in the children's hats, and they may be trimmed as much as good taste permits. An example in blue volle was a gown recently seen in process of construction. The skirt was double, each skirt being crossed with a wide band, of coarse lace insertion dyed to match the volle. The front of the skirt had a plain panel, stitched on oller edge, and running from belt to hem. The waist had a square yoke of the lace and a panel to match the skirt panel. A belt of blue suede, with a square gold buckle, completed the suit. Long cloth wraps are fashionable both for afternoon and evening wear, and there are few more sensible purchases for a woman of limited means than a smart cloth wrap. Black as well, as light cloths are fashionable this season, the smooth satin finished cloth, and while a heavy ecu embroidery or lace adds to the elaborate appearance of the garment, quite as smart an effect is obtained by the more simple style that has long lines of braid from the shoulder to the hem at the back of the coat, as well as in front. Some absolutely plain wraps have no trimming, save the fancy buttons that are so smart this year. During 1904 460 national banks were organized with capital of $24,504,300. An Experiment Made by General Sheridan With Indians. That May Solve the Problem. It is often a question how shall we keep our boys on the farm. The Rural New Yorker publishes the following article, the last sentence containing their idea of a good solution of the problem; The value of the American diet to society is usually given in terms of meat or eggs. She fills the inner self and provides the groceries for the mortgage, or shingles the roof, this is not all. Many stories are told of the way she has held onto together. In the early history of Yorkmouth it was the birth made from a choice hen that saved the life of a friendly Indian chief and prevented the ferocious King Philip from starting out with the scaling knife at a time when he could have cleaned out the whites! Another instance of the power of the hen to soothe the savage breast was given by an member of the New York Farmers. Many years ago, I was talking with general Sheridan, Chicago. He old me that when he was a major of cavalry, in Arizona, he was in charge, in behalf of the Government, of a lie of Indiana, the Colorado, and, as duty was for confining them to their servation. His principal difficulty as on account of their nomadic charter; no matter what effort he made make their homes comfortable for them, still they would leave them d travel away, and had to be brought back by the cavalry at short intervals. He finally decided that if could give them some interest in way of live stock, it might be an honoring influence, so he succeeded having the Government give them stock of horses. That, however, did answer the purpose, for they drove horses, and continued to travel the horses and mares and colis, they had before. Then he tried theiment of giving them cattle, but the cows had produced calves the spring of the year the Indians died, and the stock traveled with. Finally he hit upon the idea of giving them a stock of poultry, and quaws promptly realized the value product of the hens in the dole economy, became attached to eggs and attached to the chickens, when the bucks proposed that they, so make their summer, migration, thaws, said "No." The result of culinary experiment was that for that time he was enabled to anthese Indians to the place where government desired to keep them. are many boys on the farm to demo could be anchored to the olee if they could be interested in a hen.

He was sixty-nine years of age and was in bad health for several months. Mr. Sheftall was an old and respected citizen. He was one of the oldest butchers and green grocers in the city. By his frugal habits he accumulated much property, and was considered as one of our solid citizens. He was well-known especially by the older citizens. Mr. Sheftall was a mason of high standing, but on account of his health in recent years, was unable to officiate. The funeral took place from his late residence, Park Avenue and Abercorn streets yesterday afternoon. It was largely attended by his numerous friends. Mr. Sheftall left a wife, three daughters, Mrs. Sarah A. Jackson, Mrs. Maria Jackson, and Miss Manie Sheftall, one son Mr. Chas. A. Sheftall, other relatives and a host of friends to mourn his death. Like a distinct shock to everyone who heard of it, the death of Major W. H. Royall was announced. It occurred near ten o'clock yesterday morning. The major has been in ill health during the past season, but through much will power he continued at his business until a few weeks ago he was compelled to remain in doors. Major Royall was well known. Every body liked him. He was big hearted and liberal. No one in need has ever applied to him in vain. His greatest weakness was his liberal feeling, of which much advantage was taken. To have known the major well was to love him. He was the oldest undertaker in the city and at his death conducted a flourishing business on West Oglethorpe Ave. He was the moving spirit in the organization and did much for the perpetuation of the colored military companies in this city. He was among the first commissioned officers of the Savannah Light Infantry, which he commanded for years until he was elected major of the First Battalion, which position he filled until about five years ago. Major Royall was a deacon of the First Bryan Baptist church, an old member of Eureka Lodge No. 1, of Mason, a member of Armenia Lodge of Odd Fellows and several other institutions. The funeral will take place on Sunday afternoon from the First Bryan Church. There will be a military, Masonic, Odd-Fellows and other escort. The major has left a wife, two daughters, three sons and other relatives. The entire community regrets his demise, and all can bear testimony that a kind hearted man has died. As we were going to press yesterday, the sad intelligence of the death of Rev. Thos. B. Lilliard, pastor of the First Congregational church of this city, was received. Rev. Lillard became ill last October and everything possible was done for the benefit of his health. The latter part of December he returned to his home at Maryville, Tenn.; where among loved ones he was cared for until death came on Thursday night. Rev. Lillard during his short stay in the city, made numerous friends and was in turn much beloved. He did much to upbuild his church. A father, mother, sisters, and brothers survive him. Mr. B. H. Noisette died on Monday night last and was buried on Wednesday. He was a member of the Second Baptist church and of Armour Lodge of Odd-Fellows. Second Baptist Church. Second Baptist Church.
