VOL. XX. Jap Fleet Closely Following Rojestvensky, Says Report. From This It Appears Fighters Are Very Near Each Other — Rojest Jvensky Swears to Lick Togo or Die in the Attempt. Advices received at Salgon Tuesday from Kamranh bay say that twenty-two Japanese warships passed, the bay between 8 and 9 o'clock in the evening of April 23. Two ships loaded with rice for Salgon and bound for Japan have been captured by ships belonging to the Russian squadron. Russian officers are reported to have declared that Admiral Rojestvensky is determined to fight Admiral Togo and will endeavor to vanquish the Japanese squadron or sink with it. Admiral Rojestvensky has given every detail of the coming conflict his particular attention. Togo's flightship will be his objective, according to the a special plan. A dispatch from Salgon to the Petit Journal (Paris) states that nine warships, supposed to be Vice Admiral Nebogatto's detachment of the second Pacific squadron doubled Cape Bake the night of April 25. Cape Bake is about 50 miles northeast of Salgon. According to Shanghai advices the northern waters of the sea of Japan, the Tsugaru straits and La Perouse straits are illuminated every night by the searchlights of Japanese torpedo boats. The object is to prevent the passage of the Vladivostok squadron. Blockade running to Vladivostok has ceased, owing to the vigilance of the Japanese. The Japanese fleet is now probably to the south of Formiosa, awaiting Admirii Rojestvensky. RUN MADE ON BANK. Gigantic Steal of Bigelow Scares the Milwaukee Depositors. Despite assurances that the Milwaukee Trust company was in no manner involved by the financial trouble of Frank B. Bigelow, former president of the First National Bank of Milwaukee, and confessed defaulter of more than a million dollars, crowds of people were in the Tuesday morning long before the opening of the Trust company bank, waiting to withdraw their deposits. The depositors gathered at the national bank were comparatively few at first, but the number continued to increase. The banks affected were well able to cope with a long run, but it was decided by all the banks in the city to take advantage of the law on time deposits requiring a notice of thirty days of withdrawals on amounts less than $100 and ninety days where the amounts exceeded that sum. As rapidly as the depositors appeared at the wickets of the savings departments of the affected institutions their passbooks were stamped, acknowledging the notice of withdrawal, and the depositors took their departure. It only required about two hours to dispose of the line-up of depositors. Two score of policemen kept the line in order, but their work was light, for the crowd was a most orderly one. One of the most spectacular happenings of the day was the action of Mayor Rose in walking down Wisconsin street in full view of the crowd with $500,000 in currency and gold in bags. He was surrounded by policemen and detectives and walked into the bank with the treasure. This money was part of the shipment from Chicago banks and some from other Milwaukee banks. Cashier Frank J. Kipp is authority for the statement that more than $2,000,000 was received during the day by the bank. At noon the street assumed its normal appearance and the run was completely over. WOMEN DEDICATE THEIR HALL Daughters of American Revolution Hold Annual Meeting in Washington. Patriotism and love of country formed. the keynote of the ceremonies held Monday in dedication of the memorial continental hall, the new and handsome home of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution, being erected in Washington. While the white marble and steel building is not completed, its construction has progressed so far that the annual meeting of the society, which began Monday afternoon, was held in it. Martial Law Is Virtually Established in Little Texas Town Where a Bloody Battle Occurred. As a result of the bloody battle in Hempstead Texas, Monday night, when four men were killed and others were wounded, the little town was placed under control of the Texas Rangers. Martial law has not been officially declared, but, Adjutant General Hullin arrived Tuesday with a number of rangers and assumed charge of affairs. No one is permitted to bear arms and the excitement somewhat quieted down. Roland Brown, son of one of the men killed at the prohibition smass meeting has been placed under arrest on a charge of firing the shot which killed Representative John M. Pinckney, and it is said practically admits this. He stated that his father was under the influence of intoxicants when he attended the meeting and that he (the son) attempted to dissuade him from attending. His father was firm, however, in his intention and went to the meeting. The son followed and took part in the shooting. It has been established that the trouble began when Captain Brown, a local attorney, attempted to secure recognition to speak at the meeting. It is said that his language was offensive to several ladies and the fusillade began immediately afterwards. Congressman Pinckney was shot four times and almost instantly killed. Thomas Pinckney, a brother of the congressman, was shot twice in the back. Captain Brown received a bullet through the heart. John E. Ellis, the remaining victim, took no part in the affair, and was accidentally killed by a stray bullet. The killings are the direct result of a prohibition movement in Waller county, which was begun some years ago, and the feeling has been intense. An election was held in Waller county April 20 and the prohibitionists were successful. The prohibition league was called together Monday night to wind up its affairs and disband. A resolution requesting the governor of Texas to send troops to Waller county for the purpose of enforcing the law against liquor dealers was excitedly debated. It was at this juncture that Captan T. M. Browne sought to have the chairman recognize him and shortly afterwards the firing began. While no further trouble is anticipated, a number of rangers will remain in Hempstead to preserve law and order, should the occasion arise. NEWS OF THE CHASE. President Brings Down Two Bears In Snowy Wilds of Colorado. President Roosevelt's hunting trip in Colorado has been crowned with success far beyond his expectations or those of the most sanguine of his guides. Three bears were killed by the party Tuesday and two Monday, one by the president and one by Dr. Lambert. P. B. Stewart of Colorado Springs, one of the president's hunting companions, arrived in Glenwood Springs Tuesday night, accompanied by Courier Chapman. They brought the story of the hunt. The killing of the three bears was telephoned to them, and they understood that President Roosevelt brought down two of them, but the details are lacking. The party is also snowbound in its present location and no attempt will be made to cross the glide. Fifteen feet of snow is on the ground on the other side, and any effort to reach Red Stone would be futile. Bob cats are thick in the country now being hunted, so plentiful, in fact, that many are allowed to escape without a shot. Several fine skins have been taken, however. Blow to Human Glass Blowers. The American Window Glass company, or trust, which makes window glass by blowing machines, has announced a cut-in prices, which makes the estimated cost of the glass per box about 73 cents less than the human blower concerns can make it. REDUCTION IN MISSISSIPPI. ..Congressman Williams Says Farmers Are Very Much in Earnest. In Mississippi Congressman John Sharp Williams has been almost constantly on the stump for three. weeks delivering at least one speech each day in behalf of the State Cotton association. Mr. Williams states that the farmers in every county he has visited are very much in earnest in their pledges to reduce acreage, and he feels confident that they will not violate the agreement. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. APRIL 29. 1905. FORCED TO VACATE Russ Fleet Ordered to Leave Refuge in French Waters. FRANCE REGISTERED KICK Czar Made Haste to Communicate with Rojestvensky and Squadron Puta to Sea—Heavy Cannonading Reported Afterwards. A Parla special says: It is officially confirmed that Emperor Nicholas has personally sent an order to Admiral Rojestvensky to leave French waters. This led to reports in the chamber of deputies that the Russian squadron had actually departed from Kamranh bay. Heavy Cannonading Reported. A cable dispatch sent out from Salgon, French Cochin-China, under Sunday's date, was as follows: "The complete Russian fleet left Kamranh bay on April 22, at midday. At night heavy cannonading was heard out at sea. It is supposed the Russian fleet was engaged with a portion of the Japanese squadron. The firing was heard by a French warship. St. Pttersburg in the Dark. Advices from St. Petersburg state that Vice Admiral Rojestvensky continues his policy of strategic silence and has answered the admiralty's message of Saturday, pointing out the position of the French government on neutrality regulations, only by putting to sea, giving no intimation of his plans or destination. Russlan naval circles would not be surprised if it should develop that the squadron had been already two days or more on the way northward when the instructions were cabled to him, and that the admiralty was aware of this when the message was sent asking the admiral to move outside the three-mile limit if he happened to be in French territorial waters. WON'T Enter Mama Harbor A dispatch from Manila, April 22, to the London Dally Mall says: "Vice Admiral Togo's fleet will assemble south of Formosa. The Japanese consul here has received a long cipher message concerning Kammura's squadron, which is expected tomorrow (Sunday). The consul says the ships will not enter Manila harbor, but will cruise outside. There is great official activity here. The American admiral, the Japanese and the general in command have held conferences. The admiral on Monday will confer with Governor General Wright." The announcement that in response to Japan's representations Francoromissed the expulsion of the Russian second Pacific squadron from Kamranh bay and affirmed her determination to maintain neutrality, is received in Tokio with pleasure and has relieved the tension of popular feeling, although it is believed that if Rojestvensky entered Kamranh bay for the purpose of finally preparing for a dash north the purpose was accomplished before he was ordered to leave. The navy department at Tokio has issued the following statement of indisputable witnesses who personally observed and report as follows about the second Russian Pacific squadron in Kamranh bay: "Two cruisers, one with three masts and two funnels, of the Dmitri Donskol class, the other with two masts and three funnels, were seen cruising inside the harbor. Two three masted merchantmen and one funnel steamer were anchored outside the northern entrance of the harbor. "Five vessels, resembling battleships, were anchored inside the harbor. "Two battleships, with two masts and three funnels, flying admiral flags, were anchored inside the harbor." "Six warships, anchored in single formation, lay outside the harbor off the southern entrance. Heavy smoke was seen rising inside the harbor." St. Paul Globe to Quit Business. Something of a sensation in newspaper circles of the Twin Cities was created when The Globe, the only democratic morning paper in St. Paul, announced that on May 1 it would cease publication after nearly thirty years of existence. Cleaning Out Pension Office. Commissioner Warner of the pension office, Saturday accepted. the tenth and final resignation of members of the board of review implicated in the granting of unearned pensions to members of a Pennsylvania home guard regiment. CONVENT IS BURNED Aged Women and Children Caught in Raging Flames. FOURTEEN ARE CREMATED List of Dead Includes Four Old Women, Nine Children' and a Nun — Horror Occurred Near Montreal. The little village of St. Genieve, near Montreal, Canada, is mourning over the loss of fourteen lives in a fire which destroyed the convent of St. Anne there Friday morning. One nun, nine children, ranging in age from ten to eighteen years, and four old women perished in the flames. Two nuns were so severely burned that it is feared they will die. There is no organized fire protection in the village. The fire, which started at an early hour in the morning, was beyond control by the time the sleeping people could be aroused. A bucket brigade was formed, but the efforts to check the flames were futile and the quaint old structure was reduced to ashes. One of the first persons to reach the convent after the alarm was sounded was Alphone Garaud, who lives opposite the convent grounds. He had two daughters in the institution, and his first thought was for their safety. Securing a ladder he raised it at one end of the building at a window of the dormitory, where he knew his children slept. When he smashed in the window a great column of smoke poured out. He rescued one girl and a minute later a second girl jumped from the adjoining window. He ascended the ladder again and called out, but received no response. In a moment the flames were pouring from the window, and he was compelled to retreat. The fire started in the old ladies' hospice and the smoke was so thick that the children on the floor above were overcome and unable to get down. Crisis in Big Insurance Association Is Laid Before, Higgins. The crisis in the affairs of the Equitable Life Assurance Society was laid before Governor Higgins of New York at the executive chamber at Albany Friday afternoon by the committee of 35 managing agents of the society, which earlier in the day at Syracuse had made the same appeal for mutualization of the society to Superintendent Hendricks of the state insurance department. Governor Higgins made very evident his appreciation of the great seriousness of the situation in the Equitable Society. He said it was a question whether the legislature could alter the charter of the society without the stockholders' consent. He assured the agents he would do all possible to bring about better conditions in the society. The spokesman for the agents declared from its inception by "its great founder, Henry B. Hyde," the Equitable had been intended to be truly a mutual concern, and that the agents had gone up and down the world proclaiming and leading policy holders to believe "that the only part of the assets of the society that could be paid to stockholders was $7,000 per annum, or 7, per cent interest upon the $100,000 of stock. "It is manifest to us and policy holders that the time has come for a change, and such a change as will rescue it from being regarded as the patrimony of any individual or instrument in the hands of one man. "The policy holders are the real owners of the assets of the company, yet in the Equitable company, with nearly 600,000 policy holders, with outstanding insurance of $1,500,000,000, with a trust fund of $413,000,000, its assets yearly increasing by $30,000,000, the policy holders have no voice in the administration of the society." ALL 18 WELL IN ARKAÑSAS. President Jordan Finds Cotton Growers of That State in Real Earnest. President Harvle Jordan has returned, from a visit to Little Rock, Ark., where he went to make an address to the bankers of that state. Mr. Jordan was assured from the officials of that state department that there had been nearly 50 per cent in the reduction of fertilizers, and that the cotton acreage had been reduced at least 25 per cent. Similar reports are being received every day at the headquarters in Atlanta. Price of May Option on Cereal Takes Swift Toboggan Slide Below the Dollar Mark. Remnants of the famous line of May wheat were thrown upon an unsupported market on the board of trade at Chicago Monday, adding a further decline of 7 1-2 to the sensational 11 1-2 break of Saturday. This recession from the dollar mark, the last price of the previous session, was rapid and spectacular, and was accompanied by demonstrations in the pit almost equal to those of Saturday. When the final bell closed the day's operations May wheat was being offered at 93c, a net loss of 7c on the day's trading. First trades on the May option Monday ranged from 96 to 98. P. A. Valentinis of Armour & Co., was seemingly giving the market heroic support. His best efforts, however, availed little in the way of a rally, the only effect being a temporary check to the downward plunge of prices. The traders appeared to suspect Armour of wishing to bolster up prices in order to make a market for the remainder of the Gates' line of May wheat. From all sides wheat was offered in overwhelming volumes. When it was found that support was useless "clique houses" unloaded on the sinking market, holdings estimated at several million bushels. The price was hammered to 95c within the first hour. Before midday 92-1-2 was reached. Meantime a new fear had taken possession of traders in general. Many operators had bought largely of July wheat because Armour was said to have taken 6,000,000 bushels of that delivery during the stirring days of last week. These operators, to all appearances, suddenly detected a move on the part of the bull leaders to get out of the July options. The result of this suspicion was a bear raid on the more distant option, followed by a 2-cent decline. HORDES OF CATERPILLARS Overrun Section of Chatham County, Near City of Savannah. Near, City of Savannah. For several days reports have been reaching Savannah of the ravages of the caterpillars within 12 or 14 miles of the city. The posts have overrun Antioch church and made it unfit for use. The streams are so badly covered with them that when it was decided to have a baptising last, Sunday brush-brooms had to be employed to clean off the surface of the water. Two negro families have been run out of their homes by the great horde of hungry, hairy things, and a citizen of Pooler had to put his entire family of twelve at work to keep them from overrunning his home. Residents about Pooler are surrounding their homes with ditches to keep the conquering army back. On the turpentine farms work has almost been at a standstill. All the turpentine boxes that had the least gum in them will have to be dipped and thrown away, as the caterpillars have crawled into them, stuck there and died. At Williams Station, on the Seaboard railway, a freight train was actually staffed by the caterpillars. PEACE RUMORS REVIVED. St. Petersburg Hears That Roosevelt Has Been Asked to Mediate. Mysterious rumors that another attempt at peace negotiations is imminent are circulating in high quarters at St. Petersburg, and the United States is directly mentioned as the intermediary. No one has been able to obtain any confirmation of the report. No initiation of such a move has reached the American embassy, but at the foreign office Monday afternoon an official inquired, perhaps significantly, when President Roosevelt would return to Washington. As previously stated in these dispatches, a considerable party in the government holds strongly to the opinion that now that Admiral Rojestvensky is ready to strike, but before the issue is put to the test would be the most opportune time for opening negotiations. CRUISER TO SAN DOMINGO. Tacoma Receives Rush Order to Proceed to Little Island. Rush orders for the cruiser Tacoma to proceed to San Domingo were received at Pensacola, Fla., Friday afternoon. That vessel began to coal immediately, moving from the city down to the navy yard, where fuel and stores were taken on board. It is stated that a number of war ships have been sent to San Domingo by the Italian government, and as trouble is anticipated, the Tacoma was ordered there to protect the interests of residents of the United States. LOST ALL IN SPECULATION President of First National of Milwaukee Creates Great Sensation by Confessing to Enormous Embezzlement. Frank G. Bigelow, president of the First National Bank of Milwaukee, was arrested Monday, charged with the embezzlement of over $100,000 of the bank's funds. The arrest of Mr. Bigelow followed his confession to the board of directors of the bank that he was a defaulted to the extent of $1,450,000. Following Mr. Bigelow's confession he was removed from the presidency of the bank and the facts in the case were laid before the federal authorities. The complaint was sworn to by United States District Attorney H. K. Butterfield. It charges that, Bigelow as president of the First National Bank embezzled a sum exceeding $100,000. A complaint and warrant, identical with those in Bigelow's case, were made out to Henry G. Goll, assistant cashier of the bank. President Bigelow was arraigned before United States Commissioner Eloydgood. He waived a hearing and was held to the federal grand jury under $25,000 bond. Dr. H. N. Brown and A. N. McGeoch certified as sureties and Bigelow was released. The announcement of the defalcation was followed by a rush of depositors to withdraw their money from the First National and from the Wisconsin Trust company, the savings department of the bank. Many thousands of dollars were withdrawn, but, on the other hand, large numbers of people having confidence in the institutions, increased their deposits. Arrangements were hastily made to meet the run, and the officers of the banks express full confidence in their ability to keep them open. President Bigelow's confession was made at a special meeting of the board of directors held Saturday evening, and continued Sunday and all of Sunday night. In addressing his fellow directors, President Bigelow said he had a painful statement to make—a confession that he had misdirected the funds of the bank, and that an examination of his books and a comparison of figures would show that he was indebted to the bank to the amount of over $1,450,000. This money, he said, had been lost in speculation in wheat and stocks. Not a dollar of it could be recovered, and the only sum he could offer toward recompensating the bank was personal security, valued approximately at $300,000. The confession astounded the directors of the bank. Mr. Bigelow had been recognized as one of the foremost financiers of the northwest. He has been associated with the First National Bank in various capacities for more than fifteen years, and his business connections—trust companies, manufacturing concerns, real estate deals and other similar ventures—number scores. He was honored a year ago by election to the presidency of the American Bankers' Association, and by its members looked upon as a leader in financial matters. In making his statement to the directors of the bank, Mr. Bigelow said he had become involved in speculation several months ago. This was on Wall street. More recently he had been a persistent bull in the wheat market, and recent losses there had added to heavy reverses on Wall street. From small manipulations of the bank's funds, he had extended the defalcations until his shortage had reached the present stage. He saw no opportunity or possibility of making up the amount, and therefore confessed. SENATOR PLATT GOES HENCE Connecticut Member of Upper House Dies Unexpectedly. United States Senator Platt of Connecticut died at his summer home in Washington, that state, Friday night from pneumonia. The end came unexpectedly, the immediate cause being the breaking of an abscess which had formed in the right lung and which produced strangulation. The senator had been ill since March 31, having suffered a chill on the day of Senator Hawley's funeral at Hartford. PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY, BY THE TRIBUNE PUBLISHING CO 116 W. St. Julian Street.

MANHOOD rights is a just cause for which to fight. The man who talks a great deal does not accomplish all he says. If you are a voter go and make your returns. If you are a tax payer do likewise. THE greater respect that we have for our women, the greater power will we have as a race. We are proud to note the fact that lynchings have been on the wane during the past several months. Recently many of the victims have been white men. If the same amount of energy that certain of our men exert in opposing each other was used in a business way, great would be the success of our people. We agree with our exchanges that the word "Negress" as applied to our female is a companion to the word "Nigger," and is very insulting. THERE are certain of our men who stand aside and criticise those in public life for alleged acts that are omitted; but these very same men do nothing in the least to help things along. PASTORS of our big churches especially should be doing more practical work for the benefit of the mass of our people. There should be an organized effort to reach those in the slums. The planning for a big collection is not the only thing the Good Master desires. A NUMBER of white housekeepers are complaining about unreliability of their servants. No one is to be blamed for this more than themselves. They make it a point to hire the cheapest servants-they can find and complain about their unworthiness. Surely they can not get first class servants with second class pay. THE thoughtful ones among us are much concerned about the condition of a number of our young boys not yet out of their teens. These boys act recklessly at times, frequents bar rooms and other questionable places, keeping late hours and in other ways debauch themselves, thereby ruining their constitution, and making themselves an easy prey for consumption or other diseases. The boys must be reached and helped, if not in years to come the effect of their early debauchery will be telling on the race in a way that will be harmful. Let Him be Honored. An effort is on foot to erect a monument in honor of the late lamented W A Pledger. An organization is perfected known as the W. A. Pledger Memorial Association, with Mr. J. W. Turner of Greensboro, President, Mr. M. B. Morton, Athens, Treasurer; Mr. Jas. P. Davis, Athens, Secretary. For the erection of this monument each loyal colored person in the state should make a donation matters not how small it may be. The officers of the association are each trustworthy gentlemen and stand well in their community. Donations can be sent to the secretary at Athens. Arrangements have been made for friends in this section to forward their donation to the Wage Earners Loan and Investment Co., 468 West Broad St., this city. Full credit will be given for the same. THE TRIBUNE has agreed to publish the names of each donor. This movement will meet the hearty approval of our people in the state and all should join in doing honor to this great man who has stood so manfully under very trying circumstances for full Negro rights. Glennwood Dots. Mrs. Nancy Davis is on the sick list, we hope her a speedy recovery. The K. of P's Grand Lecturer was in town Friday last.

Great Truths to Inculcate Some time ago ex-Congressman Fleming of Augusta wrote an article on the race question. It is a thoughtful one which should be read and remembered by every white man in this section. We cannot fully endorse everything that Mr. Fleming said yet in the main the article is on the right line and the spirit of it meets with our approbation. Following is a part of it: "The race question at the South certainly does present a problem—a difficult problem. Its proper solution must come from far-sighted wisdom, not from blinding passion nor misleading sentiment. Better than optimism and better than pessimism is facing the truth, be it for better or for worse. "In seeking a solution of any difficult problem, 'the first step should' be to eliminate the'impossible schemes proposed, and then concentrate on some scheme' that is at least possible. "We often hear the epigrammatic dictum that there are but three possible solutions of our race problem, deportation, annihilation or assimilation (involving miscegenation). I venture to assert that all three of these so-called possibilities are impossibilities—two of them certainly are. Not one of the three presents a working hypothesis. Physical facts prevent deportation. Physical facts backed by our religion, our civilization, our very selves, forbid annihilation. Physical facts stressed by an ineradicable race pride bar the way against assimilation. Let us face these truths. The Negroes are going to stay in the South and so are the whites. "The plainly sensible thing to do is to devise the best modus vivendi or working basis by which the greatest good can be accomplished for ourselves and our posterity. "The first the absolutely essential factor in such a plan, so far as human ken can now forsee, is white supremacy—a supremacy arising from natural superiority, but based on justice to the Negro. "Those demagogues whose stock in trade is 'hitting the nigger,' may gain some temporary advantage for themselves, but they will achieve nothing permanent for the good of the State or Nation. Injustice and oppression will not solve any of the problems, of the ages. God did not so ordain His universe. "Proud of our race we refuse to amalgamate with the Negro, nevertheless, the Negro is a human being, and within the 'brotherhood of man'. and under the 'fatherhood of God'." "Moreover he is an American citizen and protected as such by guarantees of the constitution that are as irrepealable," I had almost said, as the bill of rights itself. "Nothing could be more useless than for the South to permit itself to be deceived by those who would wage a wordy warfare for the repeal of the 14th and 15th amendments to the constitution. That is another one of the impossible solutions which should be promptly rejected by all level headed men who seek the truth. We had just as well bay the moon. As against such blind folly, we may always expect a solid North, East and West, and a South in worse political isolation than it is today. "Nor if such a thing as repealing these amendments were possible, would it be wise or desirable even for the South? While it is true that no two races as distinct as the Anglo-Saxon and the Negro can live together on terms of perfect equality under a free government, yet it is equally true that without some access to the ballot, present or prospective, some participation in the government, no inferior race could long protect itself against reduction to slavery in many of its substantial forms—and the South wants no more of that curse." Masenic Notes. The Grand Secretary will send out today the call return blanks, etc. for the Grand Lodge Communication June 18. It is sent at this time so as to reach the first meeting of every Lodge in May. Worshipful Masters are urged to have documents read in open Lodge and to fully comply with all requirements. The Grand Master has requested that each Lodge in the state observe St. John's Dayjon June 25. The Lodges are to assemble at 3 o'clock in their Lodge rooms or at some public place where the occasion can be properly observed. Let us make this day a great one indeed. The Masons of Savannah have appointed a committee of three from each Lodge to arrange for St. John's Day. The committee will prepare an interesting program for the occasion. It is also planned that the Lodges will unite the next day in a mammoth excursion. This will be given for the benefit of the building fund. It is inspiring to note the eagerness with which the young Masons are endeavoring to perfect themselves in lectures of the order. That is right. No Mason should be ignorant of the lectures and principles of the order. In fact ignorance has no place in Masonry. Keep abreast of the times, learn the lectures, become proficient. Write to the Grand Secretary and purchase books so as to keep informed. An ignorant Mason is unable to see the beauties of the order and enjoy its great benefits. A Mason must be square in all of his dealings. On the moral lines he should lead and in fact be an exemplary citizen. There is nothing "showy" in Masonry. No grand stand play is made in whatever is done. In a quiet and effective way all duties are preformed. As an auxiliary, nothing benefits a lodge more than having a flourishing O. E.S. Chapter. Keepthe ladies working and they will be a source of encouragement to the brethren. In every Masonic community there should be a chapter. The Order of the Eastern Star in this State has paid out hundreds of dollars in sick and death claims. Besides this it is doing untold good in every locality where it has a foothold. Charity is one of the Masonic tenets. Let us fail not, in remembering those who are dependent upon us. The poor widow of a brother should not be left alone and words of cheer should, always be given to the orphans. If you are a true Mason you can do ought but give hearty support by encouraging words and financial help to the Orphans' Home in Americus. It is a monument to Masonry, let the monument be perpetuated. From all over the state calls are being made about information for organizing chapters of the O. E. S. The Grand Patron has within the past month organized two new chapters. Let the good work continue. On Monday last a new chapter O E. S., known as Aurora Chapter was organized at Barney, Ga. The membership is composed of the best ladies in that locality. They have shown themselves to be interested in the work and expect to make their chapter second to none in the state. Under the wise leadership of Past Master W. H. Wooten and the fine set of officers much success will be attained. Bro. Wooten has proven himself to be a sagacious leader and a wise counsellor. He has had much experience in the ways of the world and is causing his lodge to be a success in every way. The following officers were selected for the chapter: Mrs Lottie J. Lennon, Royal Matron; Bro. W. H. Wooten, Royal Patron; Mrs Olla Roberts, A. Matron; Mrs. Hariet Johnson, Treasurer; Mrs. Mary Day, Secretary; Mrs Ellen Davis, Cond.; Mrs. Amanda Roberts, Jr., Asso. Cond.; Mrs. Katie McDonald, Prelate; Mrs. Alice Wooten, Warder; Mrs. Hariet Causey, Herold; Mrs. Amanda Roberts, Sr., Truth; Mrs. Hariet Pinkney, Faith; Mrs. Sarah Williams, Wisdom; Mrs. M.J. Clark, Charity; Mrs. Maggie Roundtree, and Mrs. Lucinder Roundtree, Marshals; Bro. Henry Litsey, Sentinel. Full of Tragle Meaning are these lines from J. H. Simmons, of Casey, Ia.

Sir: Not long since one of the city fathers in a dispute over the employment of men for digging ditches declared that he felt it his duty to assist the men (white) to whom he owes his election. May I ask whose fault is it that the Negroes in Savannah do not vote in the city and state election? Before the iniquitous Primary (white) of which some of the prominent white ministers declared its object was to keep Negro from voting, didn't they go to the polls voting for white men. Who helped to elect Mayor Myers, the first time? In to day (Wednesday) Morning News the report comes from Florida that two members of the faculty of a prominent University in that state were engaged in a strenuous fist fight, and had to be separated by the students. This is a most shocking affair. But what else can we expect of the higher education? Yours truly JUSTICE. [St. Philip's] Dots.3 Rev. Smith of the Second Baptist church, preached the Resurrection sermon at 4 a.m., notwithstanding the early hour, the church was crowded to overflowing. Rev. Smith's discourse was a grand one and in keeping with the day and everybody enjoyed the sermon. At 11 a.m. Rev. R. M. S. Taylor, Presiding Elder of the West Savannah District preached the Missionary sermon. Rev. Taylor's sermon along that line was very good. Christening of children and the confirmation took place and quite a number was confirmed and given the right hand of fellowship. At 3 p.m. the Sunday School Easter exercise was held; standing room was at a premium and people were compelled to go away on account of not being seated. The program was very elaborate, the solos, duets and recitations by the children were very good. Supt J. H. Baldwin and his corps of teachers deserve much credit for the great interest taken in training the children for this occasion and as a whole St. Phillip Sunday School stands second to no other in the city, the committee of teachers and children from the Sunday School who decorated the church deserve much credit for the handsome decorations and the way that it was decorated. At 8 p.m. Rev. Sims, preached the closing sermon of the day. Rev. Sims certainly made a fine discourse and it was a teaching sermon and every one present was well benefited from what they heard. The usual services will be held on Sunday. Strangers are cordially invited. Don't Borrow Trouble. It is a bad habit to borrow anything, but the worst thing you can possibly borrow, is trouble.

' The shatt itself was just Snjsbed, ‘and John Griffith, Evan Htighes and 1 hud been cleaning up the bottom to put in the oak platform for the carti- Ages to land on, The shaft wad net yet timbered. There were just the four Walls, the rope and the hoisting bucket. ‘We fiulshed our work early that day, and were never in better spirits than when we stepped on the bucket and Evan called out to the head man to hoist us. But somehow it happened that the first words be said, as we started upward, were, “Fuuny to think of, eb, that cur lives” depend on the strength of that rope?” - I looked up at the rope that seemed a mere thread at the top of the shaft. Gritfith, who was watehing me, laughed. at the troubled expression on my face. “Listen! Sce how far from the bot- tom we are already,” he sald, reck- Iessly. ~ Me sprang Suto the bucket, picked up a bit of rock, and let it fall. 1 held my breath. There was a moment of dreary silence; then the rock, strik- ingf far below, made a dismal, echo- inz sound. “A sorry. distance to fall,” sald John, | “No, worse than If It were fitty feet,” T answered, thinkiug to give the talk a pleasanter turn; “and, anyway, there's Ue fr us above, on solid earth.” “And the engineer's Jerking us up out of here as if he was in a hurry to xet us on that same solid earth,” Evan sald.

Alreads the skeleton framework of the head-house could be seen cledrly outlined against the biue sky. “L shall report that fellow,” Evan said, angrily, “He has no right to endanger our lives by such reckless- ness.” . As it flew upward the bucket swayed from side to side. it took all our strength to keep our hold. At any imo. gent we might be shaken off and Lurled to the bottom of the shaft. I cannot explain how I Kuew—Im-, pressions are mysterious things—but I was as sure then as I am now that something had gone wrong with the hoisting machiners. That meant that no human power could save us, The bucket would be drawn np to the cross. timbers supporting the shenve-wheel, the rope would break, and we would be dashed to the rocks 1200 feet below. Yet, as‘it seemed, Jobn and Evan had one chance, a narrow one, to save them- selves.

The tele scope will spread ont the stars over four times the space, and their den- Bity will be one-fourth that of the orig- inal plate.

Anecilotes of Maxim Gorky are on the wing. Here is one they tell in Paris. He went to the theatre at Mos- cow one evening to see a play by a popular writer. Instead of paying at- tention to the stage, the entire av- dience rose and greeted Gorky with prodigious acclamation. ‘Then he de- livered this address: “What on earth are you staring at me for? I am not a dancing girl, nor the Venus of Milo, nor a drunkard just picked out of the river! I write stories; they have the Inck to please you, and I am glad of it But that is no reason shy you should keep on staring, We have come here to see a charming play. Be good enough to attend to that, and leave me alone.” More delighted than ever, the audience shouted with. joy. Perhaps they thought they would get another speech, but Gorky jumped out of his seat and left the tlieatre in disgust.

He hnd looked over her con- duct again and again, and taken her back, but scarcely was she home than she was gone again. Recently he had fonnd her in the company of a erlm- inal. She came to his house while he was at work, and, not content with taking away the children, she helped herself to whatever she chose, and thén pawned the things.

R. EBENEZER MORGAN, of Chicago, was a striking figure. He was large, he was red, and he was conversational, and he knew more about pork and beef than any other man in that interesting city. He had a quarter of a million invested in pork and beef, half a million in railway stock and real estate, half a million in steamships, and enough money at his bank to supply him, on demand, with all the blessings of this life. "Anybody likely to git this watch, Mr. Jeweler, do you think, if I leave it about?" he asked. The jeweler laughed. "I don't exactly understand, sir." "No, I guess you won't. I've lost four 'bout this size an' quality in six months, an' I'm beginnin' ter think they kin jump. I ain't got the memory I had. I winds' em up carefully, and then slips 'em off the swivel an' uses 'em 'r' a letter weight, an' then goes on an' does a deal with Jane Skow on His only trouble was that he had epasmalic attacks of loss of memory. Now and again he would set out for his office and forget where it happened to be until he remembered that it was time to go home; and when he set out for home he would forget his name before he was halfway, and in trying to remember his name he ceased to recollect where he lived. These were only one or two effects of his absent-mindedness. There were others. "Sabina," he observed to his daughter one morning. "I'm in a putty consid'able state. You kin pack up for Yarrup. Th' doctor he sees I've got her git, (an) I cal'ate it's a machin' order. Th' Morgan Castle starts 'm New York Monday—guess we kin catch that. I've telephoned fr' th' upper deck." "The upper deck, poppa" exclaimed the girl, thunderstruck. "Waal, I guess that's what I ordered, now I cum ter think of it; but you kin telegraph thet my idea war really th' state cabin." "But I can't get ready, poppa. I haven't a thing to go in." "Then you kin go around to th' stores an' tell 'em ter pack six trunks of female apparel, assorted, by th' day after t'morrer. That's settled. Now I'll jest go an' fix up that there pork deal with Jabe Skew, an' then we'll git to New York." Sabina was Ebenezer's only daughter - blue-eyed and twenty-one. When her father's mind was set on a thing she knew it was of no use to oppose him; besides, she had long wanted to go to Europe. She therefore went to the stores and ordered seven trunkfuls of ladies' attire. The stores packed them, and labeled them, and sent them forward to the Morgan Castle, and two days afterward Ebenezer and his daughter were on their way to join the trunks. "Guess I've forgotten them thar maldy-mer lozenges, Sabina," he said, as they went down the gangway. "I have them, poppa," she answered. "Thet's a good gal," he said; and they went into their cabins. Sabina came on deck a few moments afterward to watch the boat cast her moorings. The vessel was going out of the harbor when her father followed excitedly. "Say," he shouted to the captain on the bridge, "say, cap'n, kin you stop her a minute while I—" The captain was busy—and deaf. "Whatever's the matter, poppa?" demanded Sabina, anxiously. "Waal," he replied, "I've been fussin' around with that thar Jabe Skow, an, consarn it all, I've clean forgot my umbrella!" "Oh, never mind," she said, soothingly. "You can get another when you reach London"—an assurance which seemed to comfort him. "Thet's all right," he said. "Jest you remember me not ter forget. Mebbe it'll rain. You never knin tell." * * * * * * * * * On their arrival in London they put up at the Hotel Elysium. It was probably so called because most Americans in London stayed there. They saw the sights for a month, and Ebenezer never lost his memory once, or even himself. Indeed, on two occasions he went out alone and found his way back again—O. K., as he put it. This he regarded as a feat. "Say, Sabina," he said one morning at breakfast, "we'll go 'long inter th' town this mornin' an' buy some diamonds an' sich-like goods. I reckin you 'bout carn all I kni give you." "Oh, poppa," exclaimed Sabina, gratefully, "you are kind!" "Waal, now I come to think on it, I'll not say that ain't my true kerecter," he said, with an expansive smile and a chuckle. Then he began fumbling in his inner pockets, and from a wallet produced a bundle of notes. "Here's a few to be goin' on with," he went on, handing her a bundle. "I ain't counted 'em, and mebber that ain't enough. But you kin come ag'in." Sabina put the notes in her purse. They spent the morning shopping in Bond street, Regent street and Oxford street. Sabina bought all sorts of rings, and all sorts of necklaces, and all sorts of brooches, and all sorts of hats, and cloaks, and dresses, and what not. Ebenezer bought a two-hundred-guineen chronometer, which was a weather chart, an almanac, a musical box and a phonograph all in one. M We pray not for our land's increase; Nor ask to wield the tyrant's rod; We pray that wickedness shall cease; We pray for righteousness, O God! Keep Thou our hands from all taint free; Keep Thou our hearts sincere and pure; Keep Thou our eyes upraised to Thee; Keep Thou our feet steadfast and sure. Our nation's God, enthroned above, Hear Thou the prayer we rise to Thee; Keep Thou our land in Thy great love Through all the days that are to be. —Thomas Curtis Clark "Anybody likely to git this watch, Mr. Jeweler, do you think, if I leave it about?" he asked. The jeweler laughed. "I don't exactly understand sir." "No, I guess you won't. I've lost four 'bout this size an' quality in six months, an' I'm beginnin' ter think they kin jump. I ain't got the memory I had. I winds' em up carefully, and then slips 'em off the swivel an' uses 'em fr a letter weight, an' then goes out an' does a deal with Jabe Skew or somebody, an' when I cum back I ag'in or swapped it for a bale of cotton, don't know whether I've picked it up or giv' it in change fer a ten-dollar bill. I figure you don't sell anchors, do you? No, I guessed you wouldn't. Good-day!" When he and Sabina had reached the street he turned back into the shop. "Say, Mr. Jeweler," he said, "I don't happen ter hav tuk too little discount fer cash off the thar bill, do I?" "No, slr," was the reply. "Your memory seems excellent in that way." "Thank you! I'm glad I've klip all right up to now." They came back laden with as many parcels as they could conveniently carry, and several were delivered after they arrived at the hotel. The following day he sat in the room, examining the jewelry and some of the other parcels, while Sabina was out buying picture post cards. It was cold, and he had ordered a fire, by which he sat while he looked at the heap of purchases on his knees. Suddenly he was moved to put some more coal on the fire. He rose from his chair, laid the jewelry on the floor, scooped out the coal from the scuttle, threw it on the fire, and then shoved up the jewelry and deposited it among the coal. Then he set out to find Sabina in the Strand, but turned into the Charing Cross railway station, booked to Paris and boarded the Dover train within two minutes of its departure. All the rest of that day and night Sabina wept copiously, and next morning she was just going out to inform the police that her millionaire father was missing, when a telegram arrived from Paris. "Just remembered I am in Paris, Hotel Londres," it said. "Come at once. EBENEZER." Sabina placed everything she could find in her trunks, too troubled and alarmed to examine what went in and what was left out, locked them, paid the bill, and posted to Paris. Half an hour afterward Arabella, the chambermaid, was busy in the forsaken rooms. "Them there Americans do fly off!" she said, as she cleaned up the fireplace. In due course she looked at the coal scuttle, and saw a number of small packages and boxes. When she opened them, with wide-staring eyes, you could have knocked her down with her duster. Nobody being in the room to do anything of the sort, she sat on the hearthrug and counted one beautiful gold chronometer, two diamond bracelets, six jeweled rings of various sorts, one diamond pendant necklet, four pairs of jeweled earrings, six wondrous brooches, one pair of jeweled opera glasses, and sundry smaller articles too numerous to mention. "They would set me up for life!" exclaimed Arabella, her eyes glittering back at the diamonds. "It's about the valuablest coal scuttle I've ever seen." Being an honest girl, she took the jewelry to the hotel manager and told her story. The manager, generally a quiet man, who thought he had long ago ceased to be surprised at anything, gave a long, low whistle. "Not less than five thousand pounds worth! Thank you! They will come back for these, and you shall be rewarded," he said. The manager was prescient. A few hours later he received a telegram: "Parcels left on hatrack important. Hold till our return. "EBENEZER MORGAN." "Hatrack!" exclaimed the manager, laughing till his sides shook. Half an hour afterward came another telegram: "Father doubtful. If not on hatrack, try coal scuttle. "SABINA MORGAN." "She's hit it!" said the manager, who was still chuckling. "So you're the gal that found the jew'ry," said Ehanezer, who had returned to the Elysium. "Consarn me! I calculate y' putty consid'dable honest. What's y' name?" "Arabella Jenkins, sir." "Wanl, Priscilla——" "Arabella, father," corrected Sabina, smiling her apologies at the girl. "Pardon me, Rebecca; I never war no gnus on names. Now, luk 'yere.

SAVED BY A DOG, OHN CASE, a stage driver, on the mail line from Saratoga to Dillon, is the owner of a remarkably bright shepherd dog, which money would not buy, for he helped his master out of a very difficult matter and probably saved the lives of four horses. Mr. Chase was on the road to Dillon with a four-horse sled-load of malt recently, and reaching a point near what is known as "Snow-slide hill," when all four of his horses got off the road and all four of them got down in the snow. Chase worked for hours, trying to get them on their feet again, but in vain. After most heroic efforts, all four of the horses remained "beilly-up." It was growing toward night and the weather was sharp. Chase was desperate. He saw that all of his efforts to get the horses up were in valn. Joseph Farrell and two or three other men occupied a cabin about a nile back on the road. Having this in mind he turned to the dog, who was an interested, but helpless spectator, and said: "Go down to the cabin and tell those men to come up and help me." He had no thought that the dog would understand, but it seems that the dog did, for he at once started down the trail on a run. Chase has often said that the dog knew all that was said to it, but all his stories of the dog's intelligence were taken with a grain of allowance, his hearers knowing how much Chase valued the canine. It was not very long, however, before the men, armed with shovels, made their appearance, accompanied by the dog, which seemed to be leading the way. They said the dog had come and scratched at the door, and had shown so much anxiety for the men to follow him, running off up the road, barking and whining, that they felt that its master must be in trouble. So they bundled themselves, procured shovels, and determined to find out, if possible, just what was the matter. With the help of the men the horses were gotten on to their feet once more. There was hay in the sled, but as it was still on the trail, it was too high for the horses to reach 'ft. So the snow was shoveled away to let it down to a point where the horses could feed with comfort, and the outfit left for the night, Chase. and the men returning to the cabin for the night. The next morning Chase was able to get the team on to the road once more and finished his journey without further mishap. Chase says that money could not buy that dog, and he never makes a trip over that road without the dog along—Saratoga (Wyo.) Sun. Of all unexplained happenings none seems so mysterious as do those of the sea, for the waves keep their secrets. Among the many nautical mysteries which have been the talk of seafaring folk that of the Mary Celeste has for thirty years taken the lead. All sorts of explanations have been attempted, and the incidents have been used as the basis of a well-known sea novel, yet no satisfactory solution has been offered. A writer in the New York Evening Post has recently summed up the facts of the case, and strange ones they are. The Mary Celeste was unlucky from the first. She was launched in 1860. Bad fortune attended her very start in the world, for being built of green timber, she stuck on the ways, and was floated only at great expense. Her voyages were unprofitable, and after a few years her captain, discouraged by continual loss, took his life. On December 4, 1873, the Mary Celeste, bound for Genoa, was found by the British vessel Dei Gratia about midway between the Azores and Lisbon, adrift and abandoned. She was running under sail, her long-boat was gone, and the chronometer and ship's papers were missing. It was evident she had been deserted in haste. By the log-book it was judged she had been cruising without a crew for eight or nine days. The vessel was searched carefully, but the mystery only deepened. A naked, dark-stained cutlass which was found on the cabin floor for a time caused a suspicion of mutiny, but a later examination showed the stains to be only rust. There were no traces of strife. On the cabin table lay cloth, needle, scissors and thimble—evidences of a woman's suddenly interrupted sewing. The pumps were dry, the cargo intact, and nothing wrong with the spars' or rigging. The brig was taken to Gibraltar and investigations begun. There was an attempt to prove that the captain intended to lose his ship on one of the reefs of the Azores, but the case fell through. Obvious objections to this theory were the presence of the captain's wife and child on board and the risking of all lives in the long-boat, so far away from land. The most plausible solution is offered by the writer in the Post. He believes that the key is to be found in the nature of the cargo, in the quality of wood in which it was cased, and in the position of the fore hatch. When the Mary Celeste was boarded, her sails gave evidence that she was abandoned while running before a strong breeze, and had been rounded to in order to launch the lifeboat. Her foreshatch was lying bottom side up on the deck. Her cargo was alcohol stored in red oak barrels. Red oak is very porous, and permits the escape of fumes under the pressure of high temperature. These alcoholic fumes mixing with the foul air of the hold est town on 'arth. Waal, I allus calculate ter git my daughter a honest female I'm Yarup I do her hair an' slick. Like. There ain't nobody inside Chicago outside ourselves, you knuckon them, an' —" "Yes," interrupted Sabina, "and we'll give you eight pounds a year." "Yans," Ebenezer went on, "she'll give you eight pounds a year. Money ain't no object. I reckin I kin put my name to 'bout ten million dollars, Bellinda, an 'thar an' thar more'n about a few on us lirn' kin do that." Arabella stood stupened, without speech, or the means of speech. Ebenezer proceeded: "Mebbe y' don't think eighty pounds adekate. I'll make it ninety pounds if you'll come an' be as honest as y' an' can do my 'daughter's hair, an' sick. There's enough jewelry left round our house in Chicago to tempt th' honestest female breathin'. Fr all th' know, if y' come y' will find my gold chronometer in th' washin'. Now, if——" "But, sir," faltered Arabella, "I was going to be married." "To who?" demanded Ebenezer. "To a policeman, sir, when I can afford it," said Arabells. "All right. I reckin that 'pileman'll keep. We're arter somebody honest. Th' jew'ry that gets lost in our house amounts to a fortune. Say, Sabina, kni we afford one hundred pounds? Tell y' what, Amarilla, will give y' one hundred pounds." "I'll come," said Arabella. "Thet's right," exclaimed Ebenezer, "You'll enjoy it. Shake!" You'll enjoy it. Shake. One day while out shopping Arabella met Ebenezer. "Guess I'll walk aside of you," he said. "I was just going some errands for Miss Morgan, sir," she remarked. "All right; you kno do them arter. I happened ter wander across a pars'n yesterday." he went on, "an' he give me a ticktit, an' I said to him tnet when I war passin' his church some day this week I'd give him a call, an' y may as well come in, kase, you see, I ain't no hand at—" Arabella understood and went in. A fortnight later a member of the Metropolitan Police Force received this letter: "Dere Sln-You will be surprised to here from me so soon.

It now produces only one bushel of wheat to more than 200 in Minnesota, the banner State. Rochester was once known as the "four city." Now it is called the "flower city." But New York still raises as much wheat as Wisconsin, Maryland produces more than either, Texas nearly twice as much and Pennsylvania three times as much. Only eight States surpass Pennsylvania in wheat raising. Kansas produces nearly as much wheat as both the Dakotas, which are much more often mentioned as wheat States. Only a trifle more than half of the wheat crop grows west of the Mississippi. Illinois, Indiana and Ohio still produce $0,000,000 bushels, which is more than any far Western State, and over one-eighth of the whole crop. Little Delaware raises more wheat than all New England. Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee and North Carolina raise 35,000,000 bushels. New York is the second four-milling centre in the United States, though far behind Minneapolis, which can grind 82,000 barrels a day to New York's 14,000.-Chicago Chronicle. About St. Patrick. His baptismal name is said to have been Sucat. Little is known of him. He was born in Nemthur. Nemthur, Scotland, is now Dumbarton. He was born in 396 and died in 469. His father was the deacon Calpurnius. In 411 Patrick was captured by the Pleets and sold into Ireland as a slave. After six years he escaped this slavery and devoted himself to the conversion of Ireland. Then he prepared for the priesthood, entering upon his mission about 425. It was in the year 441 that he was consecrated a Bishop. Of his writings there were his confessions and an epistle. One prominent authority says that the only thing actually known of him is that he existed. And not a word as to his greatest deed of effectually fixing matters so the sons of the Emerald Isle cannot see snakes!—Philadelphia Record. Courtships in Shakespeare's England.

Volumes of vapor pouring out would have caused the captain to believe the ship was on fire. Accordingly he lost no time in taking to the boat, intending to lie out at a safe distance. There was no fire, but the vessel, caught by the wind, sprang away, and left the long-boat to make a tantalizing and hopeless stern chase, and finally, do doubt, to sink beneath the waves. No one will ever know, but this is what may have happened. The later adventures of the Mary Celeste were quite in keeping with her ill-starred early promise. She was sold for debt, and proved a bad bargain. Then she was wrecked off Haiti, and her officers were arrested for intentional destruction of the brig. The case in barrary was dropped, but the suspicion still lingers that the owners and the captain had an understanding that the vessel should never reach port. AN ITALIAN LOVE STORY. The best of the stories always come from the, south, and another is at hand which I offer as a suggestion to some of our playwrights. A young countryman at Bitonto, Francesco Capaldo, was much in love with a pretty girl, Elisa Fano, and, although the girl herself was not averse to his suit, her mamma did not see Francesco with a "good eye," as they say here, and so the course of true love did not run smooth. Rendered desperate, the young man decided on heric measures, and concocted a plot with some friends. The mother and daughter were in the habit of going frequently to some relatives in the evening, so one dark night the consiprators hidden a narrow street, and as the women passed sprang out upon them. In the confusion which ensued, heightened, by the intentional maneuvers of the young men, the gallant Francesco throw a shawl over the head of one of the frightened women, and, in spite of her struggles, bore her off to, his house. "I am Francesco," he repeated at intervals, thinking to calm the terror of his lady love, only, however, to be answered by muffled tones from the shawl, struggles, and kicks of such strength as to rouse his wonder and something of resentment that Eliza should treat him so. Meanwhile, the other woman had fled shrieking to cover, followed by the men to conceal the dolings of Francesco. The bold lover carefully removed the shawl, dropped on his knees, and raised his eyes to those of—Elisa's mother.—Rome Correspondence, in London Fall Mall Gazette. SURPRISED INDIANS. It is a small wonder that the first view of a white man created terror among the superstitious Indians. A striking instance of this occurred when the Wallawalla Indians first met Captain Clark, of the Lewis and Clark expedition. Thinking to propilate the savages and allay their fears of the white men, he planned to visit a village of the Wallawallas before the arrival of the rest of his party. With this end in view, he set out to cross the Columbia River in a canoe, taking three men with him. On the way he shot a crane and a duck, both of which fell near him. He landed before five wigwams placed close to each other, but not a person was visible, and the doors, which were of mat, were closed. Holding his pipe in hand, as an indication of good will, he pushed aside one of the doors and entered the lodge. Inside were thirty men, women and children huddled together in terror. He went to them, shook each by the hand and said some friendly word, expressing by word and manner his kindly feeling. Their apprehensions were allayed until he took out his burning glass and lighted his pipe by the rays of the sun. Consternation again preyed, and what might have occurred but for the timely arrival of two chefs who knew the white men can not be told. It seems that the Indians had not seen Captain Clark, but they had seen the white crane which he had shot fall just before his appearance. They had also seen the duck fall at his shot. They considered the fall of the birds with his advent and thought that he had fallen from the clouds. The sound of the rifle, which they had never before heard, they believed was a signal to announce the white man's coming. Small wonder, then, that their hardly allayed fears were again aroused when he brought down fire from heaven by means of his burning glass.—Youth's Companion. A TRUE HERO. This is a story about a true hero, not one of the Crusaders, not a soldier on the battlefield, but a real, live boy. Two or three years ago he was working on his father's farm. One day in harvest he was riding a blinder and was suddenly called to the house for something. Never thinking of any danger, he did not stop to fasten his horses, but left them standing in the field. Before his return the team became restless and started home. As the boy came out of the house he saw a sight which was enough to chill one's very heart. Two little children were playing in the field, with their heads bent close together, utterly absorbed in their play. On came the team straight for them, 'while the cruel knives protected from the blinder. Little thinking of himself, the boy rushed breathless to their rescue. He was not a minute too soon for them. As for himself he was thrown on his side right under the cutter bar and his cheek was cut open through its whole length. Of course they got a doctor as soon as possible, but he must carry the ugly scar to his dying day. We used to shudder at the deformity, but since we have heard his story—not from his own lips either—we look upon it as a mark of honor.—Clara E. Willard. SCIENTIFIC INDUSTRIAL A fir tree has been cut in Oregon recently which made nine sawlogs, averaging fourteen feet in length, scaling 21,483 feet board measure. The product of this one tree will bring more than $1000. The snake's tongue proves to be a most remarkable organ. A Maryland woman student finds that its chief function is connected with a sense of feeling without touch, and may be a finer development of the sense that enables some people to avoid striking obstacles in the dark. The forked tip and the numerous folds behind it greatly increase the surface exposure. The cells of the epidermis are interlaced by a network of extremely fine nerve fibres, which centre in a deep nerve plexus beneath the epidermis and extending out into the folds. At a recent meeting in London of the British Ornithologists' Club were shown the legs of three lapwings, demonstrating the extraordinary injuries that are inflicted by the accident entanglement of sheeps' wool around the feet of the birds. In one instance so tightly had the wool encircled the bird's foot, that one of the toes had mortified and had dropped off, while in another case the bird had lost all its toes from this cause. The birds become entangled with the wool while flying among bushes and shrubs upon the animals' grazing ground, and also when they settle upon the sheeps' backs, and their beaks are not sufficiently strong or long enough to remove the strands from their feet. Mr. E. O. Horey, of the American Museum of Natural History, has recently presented three papers before a scientific society, upon the Caribbean volcanic islands. He described the Soutriege of St Lucia as being the result of waning volcanic activity manifested along ancient fissures, but not within any recognizable crater. The Boiling Lake of Dominica is considered to be within an ancient broken down crater from the southern portion of which there was a superficial eruption of dust in 1880. The third of these papers pertained to the present condition of Mont Pelee, which was stated to be in a condition of mild intermittent activity. The dome, formed by the eruptions which began in 1902, is still undergoing modifications, elevations and subsequent destruction by explosion. The great spine was destroyed more than a year ago. At a recent meeting of the Mineralogical Society of Vienna, Dr. Morisiewicz, professor of mineralogy at the University of Krakan, announced that he had discovered a new mineral, to which he had given the name of Beckolith, in honor of the Vienna mineralogist, Professor Freidrich Beck. He asserted that it does not correspond to any of the mineral combinations so far known, but resembles mostly combinations of garnet, having similar regular crystals, and contains many rare earths, which form seventy-five percent of its volume. The chief components are cero, lanthano, and didymoxides, and it may be of use for the manufacture of chemical products, especially for the light industry. The discovery was made during a scientific exploration which Professor Morisiewicz made in Southern Russia, and the Government district of Yekaterinoslav is probably the chief locality where the mineral may be found. The rock in which it was discovered is called marinolith. Curious Inn Signs. I lately heard, says a writer in T. P.'s Weekly, of a country inn which boasted for its sign "The Jackass." Word corruption like that has given many qualt signs to our hostelries. Among the better known are "The Goat and the Compasses," corrupted from the words "God encompasseth us;" "The Bull and Mouth," from "The Boulogne Mouth," after the naval combat before Boulogne harbor, and "The Pig and Whistle," from "The Peg and Wassail," alluding to the peps driven into the old wassall bowl to mark the point to which the toper might drink as his turn came round. The sign, common in Lancashire, of the "Stanley Arms," an eagle carrying a child, is popularly referred to as "Th' Bird an Bantin." Settled the Dispute "James," crled Mrs. Timmid, "there are burglard down stairs." "Oh, no, there ain't my dear," replied Mr. Timmid. "Your husband is right, mum," interposed a low-browed individual who thrust his head into the room at this juncture. "We're up stairs." And as, he started down he was heard to say to his pal: "I always believe in helping a husband out whenband out whenever I kin. I'm a married man myself/-Pittsburg Post. Alliterative Slang. "Yes," said the student of slang in a modern educational institution, "I got it in the neck all right." "Tut, tut!" exclaimed the professor of Billingsgate, who had overheard his remark. "I am astonished that an advanced student such as you would be so careless in his choice of terms for expressing such a splendid iden. You should have said, 'I've got it where Gertie got the golfer,' or employed some other strong alliterative term."-Baltimore American. The Savanzah Tribune SaTornpay, APRIL 29, 1905.

PAINFUL PERIODS Miss Nellie Holmes Mrs Tillie Hart Facts Are Stubborn Things Uniform excellent quality for over a quarter of a century has steadily increased the sales of LION CQFFEE, The leader of all package coffees. the possibility of adulteration or contact with germs, dirt, dust, Insects or unclean hands. The absolute purity of LION COFFEE is therefore guaranteed to the consumer. While no woman is entirely free from periodical suffering, it does not seem to be the plan of nature that women should suffer so severely. Menstruation is a severe strain on a woman's vitality. If it is painful or irregular something is wrong which should be set right or it will lead to a serious derangement of the whole female organism. More than fifty thousand women have testified in grateful letters to Mrs. Pinkham that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound overcomes painful and irregular menstruation. It provides a safe and sure way of escape from distressing and dangerous weaknesses and diseases. The two following letters tell so convincingly what Lydia E.

It would bleed when I washed her, and I had to keep cloths on it day and night. There was not a clear spot on her face when I began using Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and now it is completely healed, without scar or blemish, which is more than I had hoped for.

We have always been told that when a horse falls down the proper thing to keep him from kicking is to sit on his head, but in one of the London courts the other day a judge by the name of Addison condemned that as a very foolish proceeding and said the proper thing to do when a horse is down is to take hold of his ear and keep his nose up in the air. He said "a horse cannot kick when his nose is in the air; I have seen a lady keep a horse quiet that way without soiling her gloves."—Journal of Zoophily. UNKIND COMMENT.

There is a reason why farms are cheap in the East. The country is prosperous, farm products are bringing good prices, there are better facilities for making money farming in the Eastern States than there were twenty years ago. Farmers made money then and farms were high in price. There are farmers who are making money today, and I wish to say that if a man cannot make money farming or fruit growing in this section he cannot make it elsewhere. Farms are cheap because the boys left the farm, gone to the city, where in the majority of cases they merely exist with no prospects of bettering their condition. The old folks are left with the farm on their hands. They are past caring for it. They have enough to last them the remainder of their days. They do not care to rent the old home, so they offer it for sale at a fair figure. They do not sell it the first year. The next year the price is put at one-half to one-third its actual value. The bright man, with a little money, buys it, pays part down; leaves the balance at five per cent, goes to work in a practical way, and in a few years the farm is his, and he has made a good living during that time, besides enhancing the value of his property by keeping it in the very best condition as to soil and buildings. There are plenty of just such farms to be had, and I say to the man who is tired of working for others and who has a lit the money and a determination to succeed, to locate on one of these bargains weather to go into general farming or fruit growing. Let him go to work in a practical way. Avoid all book farming. Get the opinion of practical men—men who have been successful in farming and fruit growing, and he is bound to succeed.

It is stated in Washington that under the Townsend rate bill if a rate is fixed by the commission it cannot be lowered by a railroad. Should an emergency arise calling for a decreased rate, the railroads or shippers would have to appeal again to the commission, there being no latitude allowed, whatever the circumstances. Hitherto a maximum rate has been the rule, but no such concession is made under the proposed legislation.
