TROOPS DEMANDED By Business Men of Chicago to Stop Bloody Strife. CITY OFFICIALS. DEMUR Deputation Goes to Springfield to Appeal to Governor Deneen—Strik- Rioting in the streets of Chicago Wednesday was so prolonged and of so fierce a character that many, of the leading business men have concluded that there will be neither peace in the city nor safety for its business interests until the state militia has been called out to restore order. Consequently a committee of members of the Employers' Association left for Springfield to confer with Governor Deneen and to request him to give orders to the state troops. The labor unions have representatives at the state capitol, and it is likely that they will also be heard before any action is taken by the governor. Chief of Police O'Neill says he is confident that he has the control of the situation and can keep peace in the city. Mayor Dunne supports him in this view and has declared that in his opinion the emergency has not arisen requiring the presence of troops. On the other hand the business men point to the long list of injured, which marked the rioting of Tuesday and the greater number of those who were hurt Wednesday and declare that this alone is sufficient proof that the police unaided are not sufficiently strong to cope with the situation. No complaint is made against the police department, for the officers have dispersed every mob with which they have come in contact and have guarded wagons night, and day with the greatest vigilance. But despite their utmost efforts the fighting continues in the streets and is, if possible, more vicious on each succeeding day. While the police have been able to disperse mobs and guard wagons, they have not been able to prevent the many attacks that are mado on nonunion men in the business portion of the city alone. The situation, the business men claim, will be ten-fold worse when express wagons and retail delivery wagons are sent to remote parts of the city. Despite the orders of Mayor Dunne and the prohibition of the city council, many of the wagons of the concerns against which strikes have been declared were handled Wednesday by men armed with rifles and shotguns. One hundred and fifty wagons of the seven express companies went to and fro across the city, in many instances unaccompanied by blue coats, and at no time under the supervision of more than one or two policemen. Every wagon carried a guard, some of whom were armed with Winchester rifles, and others carried heavy double barreled shotguns. The guns were in plain evidence throughout the day, and no attempt was made to interfere with any of the express wagons. COURT INAUGURATES PROBING. Officials of Equitable to Explain How Amended Charter Was Adopted Amended Charter Was Adopted. At New York Wednesday Justice Bischof signed an order, directing President James W. Alexander, Vice President James Hazen Hyde and Vice President Gage Tarbell of the Equitable Life Assurance Society, to appear before him in the supreme court on May 11 for the purpose of being examined and making a deposition as to the facts and circumstances under which the so-called amended charter of the Equitable Society was adopted. They are also instructed to produce such books and papers as may relate to the adoption of the charter. Alleged Murderer of Goebel Wants Case Transferred to Federal Court. A special from Georgetown, Ky., says: With two life sentences reversed and after having been under the shadow of death penalty for over a year before that verdict also was reversed, Caleb Powers, accused of conspiracy before the fact of the murder of William Goebel, has made application to have his case transferred to the United States district court for the eastern district of Kentucky.

The prisoners were brought in from Hernando, Batesville and Senatobia jails, where they had been in custody. The state's attorney asked the court to grant a severance in the indictment, and that the several defendants be divided up among at least three counties. This motion was allowed, and the court made the following disposition of the cases: Thomason, McConnell, Ninson and Howell to be tried at Holly Springs. Nelson, Sinquefield, Manning and Hunter to be tried at Oxford. Clayton, Smith and Still to be tried at Batesville. LEE'S REMAINS IN RICHMOND. Arresting and imposing Tribute Pawn Dead General by Washingtonians. An affectionate and imposing tribute was paid by Washington Monday to all that was mortal of Brigadier General Fitzhugh Lee, United States army, retired. Brief services were held at the Church of the Epiphany, many of the personal and official friends emptacing the opportunity thus afforded to pay a lasr tribute of respect to the memory of the distinguished dead. Prior to church services the remains of General Lee, which had been lying in their casket in the Sunday school chapel of Epiphany church since their removal from the Providence hospital, were conveyed to the auditorium of the church. Throughout Sunday night and Monday they were surrounded by a guard of honor, consisting of the local camp of confederate veterans. At one o'clock the remains were placed aboard a special train for Richmond. The special reached the Virginia capital about 5:30 o'clock and was met by an imposing array of state militia, confederate veterans, state officials and civic organizations. The casket was placed on a black draped calisson drawn by six black horses, at the head of each horse being a member of the Richmond Howitzers in full dress gray uniform. A procession was formed and the march was taken up for the city hall to solemn strains of music from a band. The bells of the city were toled as the procession moved, flags on the buildings were at half-mast, and at frequent intervals along the way special emblems of mourning appeared in drapery over store fronts and other houses. The street was packed with people from the station to the city hall and the evidence of popular sorrow at the demise of General Lee was marked. POTTER CAUGHT. IN CALIFORNIA. Alleged Robber of Davisboro, Ga, * Bank Captured in Los Angeles. A dispatch from Los Angeles, Cal, says: Maro S. Potter, an employee of the Merchants' Trust company of Los Angeles, was arrested Monday by a private detective on a charge of having embezzled a considerable sum of money from a bank at Davisboro, Ga, of which institution he was cashier. A reward of $1,000 was offered by the Davisboro bank for his apprehension. Potter left Davisboro on November 16, 1902, after having been asked to resign by the directors on the 13th. Expert accountants found a shortage of about $20,000 in his books. 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 SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. MAY 6. 1905. TORNADO IN TEXAS A Disastrous Storm Swoops Down Upon Laredo. TWENTY-ONE ARE DEAD Majority of Victims Are Mexicans Who Were Caught Under Failing Walls Of their Adobe Houses-An Latest details of a tornado which struck Laredo, Texas, Saturday evening indicate, that first reports were by no means exaggerated either as to the number of lives sacrificed or the financial damage resulting. Scores of people were injured and are being attended by the various physicians. It will be impossible to state the number of the injured, but it is not believed that many deaths will result from injuries. The number killed is sixteen in Laredo. The victims, a majority of whom were Mexicans, were all crushed to death by the falling in of the heavy walls of Adobe buildings, which they occupied. A trip through the town falls to show a locality that has not suffered more or less from the storm. Trees, fences, telegraph and telephone poles, corrugated roofs, chimneys and walls and debris of all imaginable kinds strew the streets. The city authorities set diligently at work cleaning away the wreckage of the storm. Conditions in New Laredo, across the Rio Grande river, are similar to those existing on this side. It is not officially known how many dead or injured there are, but in an interview a city official of that place stated there were five dead that he knew of, although rumor has it that ten lives were lost. The five known dead added to the list of dead on this side of the river would bring the number of deaths in both cities up to twenty-one persons. Dr. H. J. Hamilton of the United States hospital service has placed 150 tent, with bedding, etc., at the disposal of the homeless. Late Saturday afternoon the following communication from Mayor Sanchez of Laredo addressed to Governor Lanham at Austin was received: "Laredo appeals to you and through you to the good people of Texas for immediate aid in our great misfortune of last evening. The cyclone wrought untold damage to this city. Several lives were lost and distressing conditions prevail. It is impossible just now to state the extent of loss of life and damage to property, but have seen enough to satisfy me that we need immediate assistance to relieve the suffering and the homeless." In response to this request Governor Lanham issued a general appeal for help, expressing the wish that Texans in general would be liberal and prompt in their assistance. A DEARTH OF ADVERTISING Causes St. Paul Globe to Give Up After Thirty Years. After a life of nearly thirty years the St. Paul Globe with Sunday's issue suspended publication. The globe was the only democratic morning daily in Minnesota and it was the recognized organ of its party both in state and municipal affairs. The reason announced for suspension was that, in spite of its large circulation, the paper was not properly patronized by advertisers. THIRTEEN MINERS ENTOMBED. Disastrous Pit Explosion in Indian Territory Deals Death. The most disastrous mine explosion to occur in the Indian Territory since the Savannah accident of 1887, took place at 1:20 o'clock Sunday morning in the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Coal company's mine, near Willburton. Thirteen men were entombed, with little prospects of their bodies being recovered for several days. AFTER THE WHITECAPPERS. Federal Grand Jury at Jackson, Miss., Investigating Outrages. The federal grand jury convened at Jackson, Miss., Monday, and went immediately to work investigating the Franklin county whitecap outrages. Indicts by the wholesale, it is said, are expected. A. J. Holt, special detective, employed by Governor Vardaman, submitted a large amount of documentary evidence to the grand jury, and lists of the whitecappers' organization containing more than a thousand members. EDUCATORS IN WRECK. Death Grazes Members of Ogden Party in Train Crash—Four Employees of Special Lose Life. While rounding a curve inside the yard limits of the Southern railroad at Greenville, S. C., and running at the estimated speed of 50 miles an hour, the special Pullman train bearing Robert C. Ogden and 100 members of the Southern conference for education, which had but a few hours before closed at Columbia, S. C., crashed into the rear end of a freight train at 7:55 o'clock Saturday morning, killing four persons and injuring a score of others. None of Mr. Ogden's guests was killed. The dead are: Charles M. Cope, white, brakeman of the special, Columbia, S. C.; John Little, W. W. Cummings, J. F. Hayne. The last three were negro employees on the dining car. The injured are: Professor Henry W. Farnam, Yale university, arm broken and cut on head; Mrs. Henry W. Farnam; St. Clair McKelway, editor Brooklyn Eagle; Dr. Julius D. Dreher, Roanoke college; Robert M. Ogden, secretary to President Ogden; Mrs. J. G. Thorp, Cambridge, Mass.; Bishop W. N. McVickar, of Providence, R. L; James Hunter, engineer on special; Walter Kershaw, electrician on special; Conductor Edward Acker; John F. McCoy, agent Pennsylvania railroad; R. Shull, negro cook on St. James (dining car); Geo. Williams, Walter on dinner Waldorf. All were more or less badly bruised or cut. The combination baggage and club car and two diners, together with the locomotive and a freight car, were piled into a heap, and in an instant fire broke out in the cooking end of the diners. Dr. McKelway, Professor Farnam, Mrs. Farnam, Mrs. Thorp, Dr. Dreher and Robert M. Ogden were eating breakfast in the second diner, which was torn to pieces. The floor collapsed and the passengers were picked up from the track. The seven sleeping cars behind the diners were left intact, but the shock sprung many locks, imprisoning the occupants. Seth Low and Mrs. Low, Bishop McVickar and others were rescued when the doors were smashed open with axes. The passengers in the St. James were quickly saved, but the three negroes could not be saved. They breathed the flames and dilod. When he saw that the crash could not be averted, Engineer Hunter of the Ogden train applied the emergency brakes and jumped. Dr. St. Clair McKelway had a narrow escape from cremation. He was pinned down by a heavy timber and could not move. The rescuers dragged him from under the beam just as the flames were reaching him. He was unconscious, but soon revived. Among the passengers were Charles B. Aycock, ex-governor of North Carolina; Dr. A. B. Draper, state commissioner of education of New York state; Dr. Arthur B. Kinsolving, Robert Treat Paine and George Foster Peabody. Practically all of the baggage, said to be valued at $12,000 was destroyed. It is claimed that a misunderstanding of orders led to the accident. As a result of the wreck President Ogden abandoned his trip to other points, and the special left Saturday night for New York, Professor Farnam and wife remaining in Greenville in a hospital. KING EDWARD IN PARIS. An Indirect Indication that England and France Are Close Together. King Edward arrived in Paris at 9:20 o'clock Saturday evening and was met by British Ambassador Bertle, no French officials being present in accordance with his majesty's wish. King Edward's arrival for three days' stay inaugurates the first of a series of brilliant events covering the next two months which, through accident or design, promise to exert important influence in showing the world—and Germany in particular—France's strong position among the nations of Europe. ALLEGED LYNCHERS FREED. Prominent White Men Accused of Killing Morrison Are Discharged. Magistrate Caskey at Lancaster, S. G., Friday, dismissed Burrell Trufessdale, W. R. Bélk, S. Frank Hough, S. W. Heath, John T. Stevens, H. J. Gardner, Dock Belk, Steve L. Gardner, Jr., John Holden and Steve W. Welch, who were brought before him charged with complicity in the lynching of a white man named Morrison at Kershaw last October. The preliminary examination attracted crowds from the neighborhood, as all of the defendants are prominent men. SCORES SHOT DOWN UNPROVOKED BUTCHERY Volleys Were Fired Into the Easter Crowds Without Cause — Many Women and Children Were Victims of Bullet Storm. Nearly one hundred persons were killed or wounded in disturbances in various quarters of Warsaw, Russian Poland, Monday. The troops apparently were uncontrollable and violated all orders to act with moderation. They fired into crowds of demonstrators, and workmen, in retaliation, resorted to the use of firearms and bombs. Many women and children are among the dead and dying. What approached a reign of terror existed Monday night; the city presented a most gloomy aspect and the temper of the entire community augurs ill. May day opened with every prospect that the recent gloomy forbodings would find contradiction in a peaceful ending. Glorious weather ushered in the beginning of the celebrations and all factories, shops and offices of every description were closed. The streets were crowded from early in the morning with gaily dressed people and troops. Children enjoyed themselves in the warm sunshine. The presence of numerous patrols of Cossack cavalry and infantry were the only reminder of lurking danger. No ontoward incident was reported until afternoon. The first disturbances occurred between 12 and 4 o'clock p. m., when several workmen carrying red flags marched along Zelasna street. The demonstration was quite orderly and proceeded without molestation for some distance. Suddenly several squadrons of Uhlans appeared, but without interfering with the procession, and took up a position along the sidewalks while the workmen passed through the lines. Then a company of infantry approached from the front and immediately the cavalry charged into the procession, driving it with the flat of their swords into a disorganized mass. When the cavalry withdrew, the infantry fired a volley, whereupon the demonstrators turned and fled. The infantry continued to discharge volleys into the retreating, shrieking multitude. Thirty-one persons were killed and many wounded and of the latter it is believed that fifteen will die. The shooting is described as having been quite unprovoked. It has aroused the most intense indignation among all classes in Warsaw. Many of those who were killed or wounded were shot in the back, showing that they were running away when they were struck. Another terrible scene was enacted at 5 o'clock p. m. at the corner of Zlota and Sosnore streets, when workmen fired from behind a wall at a patrol, which immediately opened fire on the passing crowds, killing or wounding twenty persons. The first bomb throwing occurred at 9:35 Monday night, when a bomb was thrown into a Cossack patrol near the Vienna station. Three Cossacks and one policeman were killed and two women who were leaving the station at the time were severely wounded by the explosion of the bomb. Cossacks and infantry fired a number of volleys and it is reported that many persons were killed or wounded. STICKS TO FRENCH PORT. Russian Squadron Is Still in Neighborhood of Kamrann Bay. Latest advices from Salgon state that the Russian squadron is lying off Port Dayet, four miles north of Kamranh bay, outside of territorial waters. Russian, German and British transports are off Cape St. James, near Salgon, and in the Salgon river. Teamsters at Chicago Ask Chief Executive to Adjudicate Their Trouble. President Roosevelt has agreed to give the Chicago striking teamsters an opportunity to present their petition when he reaches that city May 10. Information reached the president at his camp that the strikers were prepared to ask him to use his influence in their behalf similarly to the manner in which he had adjudicated the anthracite strike three years ago. JURY AGAIN DISAGREES Rank and Unsavory Nan Patterson Murder Trial at New York Falls Through Once More. Having failed to reach a verdict, and declaring that they were hopelessly disagreed, the jury in the Nan Patterson case at New York was formally discharged at 2:20 o'clock Thursday morning. The jury was given the case at 1 o'clock Wednesday, and after deliberating twelve hours, came into court at 1:30 o'clock Thursday morning and informed Recorder Goff that they had failed to reach a verdict. The jury declined the recorder's offer to aid them by advice on any point of law regarding which they might be in doubt, and were sent back to continue their deliberations. At 2:20 o'clock a.m. the jury again entered the court room, where the recorder and other court officials were in waiting, and the foreman announced that they had failed to agree on a verdict. He added that their disagreement seemed hopeless of adjustment. Upon this announcement Recorder Goff formally discharged the twelve men composing the third jury that has considered this celebrated case. It is understood that a majority of the jury were for acquittal, but in what proportion they stood cannot be ascertained. Nan Patterson collapsed on the jury's announcement and fainted dead away. She was assisted from the court by one of her counsel and several court attendants and revived in an anteroom. On the second return of the jury, Recorder Goff made a personal appeal to the foreman to endearor again to reach a verdict. The foreman entered the jury box and polled the jurors in open court, but they were not-able to agree. The recorder then asked them again if there was not some point in law or something he could do by which they might be-able to reach a verdict, but the jurors remained steadfast and finally declared their verdict a disagreement. Recorder Goff before dismissing the jury, cautioned them not to tell how they stood. Future procedure in the case is uncertain. It has been intimated by the district attorney's office that the people would not attempt another trial. Should this be the case Miss Patterson would be released either on nominal ball or under her own recognition and the indictment be eventually quashed. BIGELOW'S PAL CAPTURED. Henry Goll Found in Chicago After Long Search by Detectives. Henry G. Goll, absconding cashier of the National Bank of Milwaukee, was arrested at the Lakota hotel, Chicago, Wednesday afternoon. He had been at the hotel four days and was registered under the name of A. C. Smith. Goll was arrested by Detective Sullivan of Milwaukee, assisted by a Pinkerton detective. The detectives had tracked Goll from Milwaukee to several towns in Illinois, then into Indiana and finally to Chicago. He made no protest when arrested, but said he was willing to go back to Milwaukee without a requisition. A warrant was issued for Goll's arrest at the same time the warrant was served on Frank G. Bigelow, the defaulting banker. The complaint sworn to by United States District Attorney H. K. Butterfield charges Goll, the same as Bigelow, with embezzling an amount exceeding $100,000. HEAVY FINES FOR MAKING BETS. Alleged "Hand Book" Men in Atlanta Assessed $300 Each by Police Judge Assessed $300 Each by Police Judge. In the police court at Atlanta, Wednesday, Montgomery Thrower, Charles E. Graham and Renzo Jones, alleged manipulators of race hand books, were fined $300 and costs each by Recorder Broyles on the charge of taking bets on horse races in the city. The main question was whether or not the three men had accepted bets at designated places where they met those from whom the bets were taken. BANKER GIVEN_SEVEN YEARS. Cashier of Institution Wrecked by Mrs. Chadwick to Serve Time. At Cleveland, Ohio, Wednesday, A. B. Spear, cashier of the closed Citizens' Bank of Oberlin, in the United States district court, entered a plea of gulity on one count of the indictment charging him with making false entries in the bank's books. District Attorney Sullivan recommended that all other indictments against Spear containing fifteen counts be nolled. Judge Taylor at once sentenced Spear to seven years' imprisonment in the Ohio penitentiary. We acknowledge the receipt of the new catalogue of Spellman Seminary, Atlanta. Rev. P. J. Bryant D. D., of Atlanta, will be in the city next week and conduct the services at Mt. Tabor Baptist Church, Rev. N. H. Whitmire, pastor. Everybody is invited to go out and hear Rev. Bryant. How can we get more school accommodation when there are fathers with a number of children in the public school who has never paid a penny for poll tax in their life. Such men are unworthy of being fathers THERE are several of our men who are holding responsible positions in the city. They are trusted and respected by their employers. This much was attained by their loyalty to duty. Our younger men should imitate them and endeavor to make themselves indispensible in any position that they may hold. SHORTLY hundreds of our boys and girls will be out of school. It is a pity that there are but such few openings for them. Those of us with money and ability are to be blamed for it. Of course the other classes come in for a great share of the blame. Let those with money and ability operate various kind of business, and the other class support them, thereby making it possible for the boys and girls to get employment. All can begin now by heartily supporting those already in business. It is about time for our various lodges and societies to raise the standard for membership. One of the main requirements for membership in these institutions is based on character. There should be another one, and that is citizenship. No man is a full-fledged citizen who does not pay a dollar a year poll tax, and these institutions should never accept such into membership unless they can show evidences of full citizenship. There are too many of our young men neglecting this most important matter. SEVERAL weeks ago two women, one colored, the other white, were arrested for shop lifting at Adlers. A few days after the occurrence the colored woman was fined heavily and in lieu of which she was given a long sentence on the chain gang. Weeks afterward the white woman was tried. She was fined a paltry $30 or four months in jail. Note the difference—the colored woman to be further degraded by a long term on the chain gang and the white woman for the same offense is given a jail sentence of only four months and yet it is boasted that the colored people are being treated justly in this section. Glenwood Dets Rev. W. E. Clark of Towns, Ga., was in town Sunday last. He is a C. M. E. Methodist and is striving to establish a church here. We wish him success. Mrs. Nancy Davis is still on the sick list, we regret her illness much. She is a faithful christian worker. We hope her an early recover. Mrs. Hubard Manuel will leave this week for Bond, Miss., where her husband is. We regret her departure but she will like her new home. The masons here are anticipating a grand time on St. John's Day. Mr. A. H. Lessene of Alamo, Ga., and Rev. A. B. McKay of Americus, Ga., were the guests of Mr. A. J. Mason and family Saturday evening last. Their stay was happily spent. Rev. McKay is one of the Presbyterian's able missionaries. He delivered a noble sermon at Alamo, Ga., last Sunday where he is struggling to plant a church in the near future. A. L. M Episcopal Conference. The Conference for colored clergy and laity of the diocese of Georgia of the Episcopal church, was held at St. Stephen's church, Wednesday last, Rt. Rev. C. K. Nelson, D. D., presiding. The following was the program: Morning prayer and celebration of the Holy Communion. Organization. Discussions. 1 What is the relation of priest to the Church? by Rev. Richard Bright. 2 What is the relation of a congregation to the Church? by Mr. C. A. Shaw. 3 What are the rights and privileges guaranteed to each? by Rev. J. C. Dennis. 5 How may these be supplied? by Rev. Scott Wood. Discussion. Can the interest of the colored clergy and laity be preserved apart from the diocesan Convention? Opened by the Bishop. Discussion. General attitude of the Church toward the Negro. Opened by the Rev. A. G. Coombs. A Great and Grand Session Coming. The session of the Most Worshipful Union Grand Lodge which convenes June 13th., promises to be one of the most successful from every point of view ever held in the state. Every lodge in the state and jurisdiction will be represented. It is also true that every lodge will come up prepared to settle all claims due the Grand Lodge. We are more than glad to learn this as we will need every dollar the lodges owe the Grand Lodge. We have made several improvements at our Ophans' Home and school, besides keeping it open all the year. We have also ordered two hundred and fifty chairs and some other furniture. Hence the brothers will please remember what we said relative to the money for chairs last year. Let every Worshipful Master resolve that for one time in its history his lodge shall report, square with the Grand lodge. We are leaving no stones unturned to make this the banner year of the jurisdiction in all of our reports and especially our financial reports. This can be done if every member will make himself busy in helping his master swell his report instead of helping him to cut it down in various ways. Let every Grand Lodge officer see to it that his lodge especially and all lodges in his community in general bring in full reports, that none shirk from duty. Further lgt every committeeman in the jurisdiction give attention to this matter. No G. L officer or member of a committee should think of allowing his lodge or any lodge in his community to fail to report or be short in its report. We are expecting every G. L. officer and subordinate lodge officer and member to strive to have his individual lodge not only excel its last year's report but to excel all other lodges in the community. Read well the call and follow it in every detail to the letter: Finally, brethren, let us put our shoulders to the grand old weel and give it one more successful turn and oblige yours fraternally, H. R. Butler. Grand Master. Masonic Notes Every mason in the state rejoice with and congratulate Grand Master and Mrs. H. R. Butler on their twelfth wedding anniversary which was befittingly celebrated on Tuesday evening last at their home in Atlanta. Dr. Butler stands high in esteem of all who know him in the state and elsewhere too; in this respect Mrs Butler enjoys an equal portion. The Grand Secretary has sent to every Lodge on record the Grand Lodge call and return blanks. Should any lodge fail to get same the Grand Secretary must be immediately notified. Before doing so go to the post-office and make inquiries. We are anxious for every lodge to receive proper information and ask the cooperation of all who are in a position to assist. If by any means unworthy ones have gotten into the order, great efforts should be exerted in seeing that no more are accepted. Let the membership be based upon worth. Short articles of important Lodge events are solicited from each Lodge in the state. Let us all unite in making the coming Grand Communication its grandest in attendance in harmony, in finance and every way for good. The Eastern Star spirit is still on the increase. Tomorrow afternoon the two local chapters will have a joint session to welcome the Grand Lecturer, Mrs. Mary L. Walker of Macon. Each member is urged to be present and show loyalty to the Rite. "Moddler" Knocks the "Countryman" Out. Savannah Ga. May 6, 1905. EDITOR SAVANNAN TRIBU Much has been said and written recently about the next Grand Lodge officers. But the article written by "Countrymen" in the "K. of P. Column" of The Independent on the 22nd ult has attracted more attention probably than any other. Not because there was anything great in the article but because of the glaring inconsistent statements. To our mind it was only a shrewd move on the part of "Countryman" to have his friends bring him out as a candidate for G. C. to complicate matters, and in the event of no election between the two known candidates, viz. Clark and Creswill to have "de boys" run him in as a compromise. But we would say to the "Countryman" if the Grand Chancellor's bee is buzzing in his ear or head to tell him to cease for the boys are not ready for you yet, no, not even as a compromise candidate. You advise Clark not to let Williams, Jordan and Armstrong fool him because you would not like to see him slaughtered. But we would advise you not to let the many letters that you are getting from all over the state(?) fool you, for if you do, when "the boys" get through with you there will not be enough left of you to make a grees spot. We understand that you are a terrible fighter and are looked upon as "a big thing" in certain portions of the state but we are sorry to inform you that no one fears you down here and that you are looked upon as "a very small thing." No, Countryman we do not fear you, even if it is true that you have all of the "hayseeds" as your book and use the columns of the Independent to puff yourself and help fight your battles. Let us note some of the inconsistent statements. "Countryman" tells us that he hates to see Charley running against Charley—that both are clever chaps and that if he could he'd vote for both, and just above he tells us that everybody—Macon County knows that the Countryman is for himself for G. O. first and for Gen. Creswill every other time. Now Countryman you have told two and one will do, which one are we to believe? Again you tell us that no one can beat Creswill and almost in next breath you tell us that if the people keep on after you, you will, have to run. What are we to understand by this? Do you mean that no one can beat him but yourself or are we to understand that Creswill is not such a dead sure winner as the office holders would have it believe? Tell us please—which? You claim that Creswill elected Clark at Albany to the only office Clark was ever elected to in his life. If this is true Countryman please tell us how it was that Clark served two terms on the endowment board Waa he elected or was he appointed? The law says he must be elected. Furthermore Countryman we beg to differ from you in your claim—that Creswill elected Clark to his present position viz. V. G. C. If you mean that Creswill helped to elect Clark we claim that Clark helped to elect Creswill.—Neither elected the other—the members of the G. L. elected both. And if this is true and you must admit that it is then in our judgment you have no more right to claim that Creswill elected Clark than I would have to claim that Creswill made the G. L. endorse your paper as our official organ, and you fear if he loses you will lose and that's why you are supporting him. In another place it would seem that you are in the race for G. C. for you say "The Countryman is not running against Creswill because he has not done his duty, but because this is a free country and he feels like running until he gets tired." If you mean what you say "do you condemn Clark for running? Why not practice what you preach? Unless we are badly mistaken (please pardon us if we are.) It was you Countryman who heralded Charley Clark in your paper soon after the adjournment of the G. L. at Albany as our next G. C. Why have you changed? You say that "The Pythians of Georgia would rather have an honest ignorant man at the head of the than an intelligent thief." We agree, but who is the intelligent thief aspiring to become the head? You owe it to yourself and the order to expose him. Yes by all means let us know his name and we will do all we can not only to defeat him for office but to put him out of the order. When one is known to be a thief he has no business in the order much less to aspire for office. Countryman says "De folks" are talking about puttling Russell back from where they took him. If the boys think that grand old man is a tool to be used at will they are sadly mistaken. When Russell needed the boys at Macon and asked for their help and support, they threw him down. They said that he was incompetent, that he laeked executive ability. And when "Honest Jim Russell," who had stood by the Old Ship in every storm and who never forsook his post of duty met the boys at Albany. The boys by their votes told that grand and good old man who had never yet betrayed any trust reposed' in him that they had no further use for his services aboard the ship and they put him ashore. Now it seems that the Old Ship is having or about to have a rough voyage before she can land and if what Countryman says is true, the boys are anxious to get that old sailor back on the ship. They need one of his experience and influence to help them to land. But Russell has not forgotten some things. Russell did not forsake the boys but the boys forsook Russell. As far as we know with the exception of the office holders (and we have not sounded them for very obvious reasons) every P. O. here is for Charlie Clark for G. O. and Greswill next. If what we hear about Prof. Hutto is true we could not support him. We have heard that he went to Albany last year as a candidate for G. C. but when he got on the ground he weakened and came down in favor of Greswill. This too is of the face of the fact that he had written some of his friends asking their support. We do not claim that this is true but we have heard it is. We have also heard that defeated him for the offices of G. L. We rather admire Prof. Hutte and we trust that such reports are not true. Countryman need not wry himself about the re-election of Fred Cohen, for "Our Fred" will be re-elected beyond a doubt, matters not who is elected (t. C. We have nothing against Gen. Creswill, he in our opinion is a good honest man and has done much for Pythianism, but is he the only man who can fill the position? If so it's a terrible reflection on us as a body. We want more members in the Supreme Lodge. Under the existing state of affairs, we have got to re-elect the same men every time. Even if they do not do our bidding, Think of it! As matters are now our present Supreme Representatives can go to the Supreme Lodge and do as they were instructed to do or refuse and we cannot help ourselves because we have no other P. G. Chancellors. Brethren are we not in a terrible predicament? When the Country man, tells us that the people care nothing about the Supreme Lodge and its works, he might as well tell us that the people care nothing about the Federal Government and its laws. Already the Supreme Lodge has imposed a tax upon all of the Lodges to build a Pythian Temple and Sanitarium at Hot Springs, Ark. The Grand Lodge of Ga., voted against this tax at Albany and yet the G. L had to elect two men to represent them in the Supreme Lodge who are known to be in favor of this tax. Think of it! What are we to expect when we send man to represent us who are not in sympathy with our views? Who is to blame? What is the remedy? How can this evil be rectified? We have been hearing strange things, recently. We have heard that there is a way to reach the Supreme Lodge other than through the G. O's chair and other than "turning over a State." If there is any other way except the two mentioned above, will some good brother who is up on the law, tell us where is can be found? If there is another way why have the Big Guns kept us in the dark all this time? Why haven't they told us before? Are they telling us now from force of circumstances? We understand that Prof. Barco has not forgotten those who stood by him at the last session of the G. L. and especially Dr. Penn who led the fight in his behalf. Stand by those who stood by you Prof. Stand up for what you believe is right. It's natural for the office holders and those who expect an office to support the Ad. Tell Penn and Lee to stand firm. Don't let the Countryman scare them, and when the smoke of battle has cleared away, win or lose everybody will know that there was a fight that will not soon be forgotten.

ASKITS was crouching under one of the ten-inch guns, white-faced and trembling. He cared nothing about the war. He was not a fighter, but a grower of things to eat. And any way, if he must be in the war, he should be on the other side, among his own people, and not on this Russian cruiser that was sinking. He could hear the water rushing in even above the noise of the engines that were urging the warship toward the shallow water near shore. Sharp commands were being issued, and there were hurrying feet, and above all other sounds and dominating them were the occasional thunder of ships' guns-booming across the harbor. What if the cruiser should sink before reaching shallow water? What if a shell from one of his own vessels should blow up and sink the cruiser in an instant? Would his not be the ft ending of a traitor, even though he were not here voluntarily and had done nothing more war-like than holystone decks and help polish the brass fittings? He crouched still lower, cringing objectly. Perhaps they were needing him to do something about the vessel. But he would not go—at most one could but die, and he would not help any more on this— "I hoya, you skulker! Out of that!" came a fierce voice, and he felt something sharp pierce his shoulder and the trickling of blood, and with a whining shriek of protest he scrambled out and upon his feet, and was presently a link in an endless chain that was hurrying ammunition from the cavernous depths of the vessel, conscious only of his miserable existence and the fact that he was not a fighter, but a grower of things to eat. And then the expected happened. A flying shell struck the crusber, and though she did not sink or even receive material injury, the sudden confusion and uprora implied the worst, and Haskits elimbed frantically up one ladder and another and up steps and stairs until he reached the deck, where, with a wild cry in which was mingled terror and despair and defiance, he threw himself over the vessel's side. Those in his way tried to stop him, and a few bullets whistled about his head as he sank in the water; then the confusion of the moment caused him to be forgotten. As a boy he had lived near the coast and been accounted an expert swimmer, so now when he struck the water he sank and did not rise until he was a hundred yards from the vessel. The town was a mile distant, but instead of swimming in that direction he started toward, a point of land full three miles away. From the vessel this point had shown to be an agricultural section, thinly settled, and his eyes had filled when he first saw it. There the people were happy, for they lived on farms and worked with the soil. It was night when his feet touched a muddy bottom and he waded to the shore. But he did not make himself known at the nearest farm house as he had at first thought; instead, he kept to the ditches as much as possible, and when obliged to cross a piece of land near farm buildings, he wormed his way along slowly and cautiously, as an animal might, on all fours, and keeping to the deep shadows. Russians, of course, would be near the coast, and would be on the lookout for such deserters as he. When daylight appeared he was fifteen miles in the interior. He was in the midst of a small farm and where all kinds of vegetables seemed to be grown, with every one of which he was familiar. As it grew lighter, so he could see, he suddenly dropped upon his knees sobbing and kissing the green leaves. It was a coming home to his own, after ten years of exile in servitude. All else was forgotten, past, future, possible danger, hunger, everything, in the joy of again being with his own. He did not even rise from his knees, but began to cultivate and care for the plants with his fingers, loosening the soil, removing decayed leaves, and whispering to them as though they were things alive that could understand, the tears all the while dropping from his eyes. Joy-of-the-Farm found him there when she went to begin her day's work and the girl's almond eyes grew wide at the sight. It was hard to get ljorers in these times. The young men were all going to war, and the women were drifting toward the silk factories that were springing up in the towns. She and her father managed by themselves, where formerly they had hired. In those days of sufficient help her task had been to look after the silk worms alone. Now she went into the fields and did work that belonged to common laborers. So she paused at the sight of a young man—a strong, handsome young man,who was evidently master of the work, cultivating the plants with his fingers. "Honorable sir," she began timidly; but Haskits did not even notice"she was there. His mind was wholly with the plants. Joy-of-the-Farm watched him for some moments and then slipped away and brought her father. Old Yalu's eyes swept over the young man keenly, comprehending. "You are from a Russian ship," he said, loudly and sternly. This time Haskits heard, and he rose trembling. "How do you know, most distinguished benefactor?" he stammered. "By your dress; it is of a Russian ship. Why are you here? Did you desert?" There was hardness in the old man's voice, though his eyes twinkled. The girl knew him and smiled, but Haskits grew more pale. He threw out his hands despairingly, yet frankly. "I will tell you all, most honorable highness," he said, drearly, "though it will kill me, for you will send me back. I was a grower of things to eat. People said I was better at it than most, for though only a boy, I was making money. But I grew too fast. A Russian told me that I could go to his country and be a teacher, that his people did not know how to grow things, and that I could make as much in a year as I could here in a life time. I was only a boy, so I took my money and went. I thought I would come back and buy many acres and be a rich man." He paused a moment, and then went on in the same dreary voice: "It was all a lie. They did not want a teacher. They wanted me to be a spy, and I would not. Then they took my money and tried to make me a soldier. I have been a slave ten years." "But was it wise to desert?" more gently. "If they catch you they will kill you." "I know," bitterly, "but what difference? I could not fight. I would be a coward and run, and then they would kill me. I am a Japanese, you would say, and Japanese are brave; but all of one people are not alike. I am a grower of things to eat, and not a soldier. As a grower of things I could do good work; as a soldier I would be a coward and do harm. It is not right for a man to be what he can not." The old man stepped forward suddenly and placed his hands upon Haskits' shoulders. "You speak the words of wisdom," he approved. "I am a grower of things to eat, myself, and not a soldier. Will you work for me?" Haskits' gaze rose quickly. "Then you will not give me up?" Then you will not give me up: "No. I will keep them from finding out. You have a head that will tell your hands what to do. Will you stay?" "I you will let me," simply, "and I will try to make you money." Two days later Joy-of-the-Farm returned to her more congenial occupation of caring for the silk worms. She was no longer needed in the fields. Haskits was doing more than their former six laborers, and already he was suggesting things of which old Yalu had not even thought. In a month he was an essential part of the improved farm, which even then was turning in twice the amount of money it had ever done before. Then one day he came to his employer with a troubled face. "Most distinguished benefactor," he said, "I am come to tell you good-by." Old Yalu threw up his hands in amazed consternation. "No, no, most honorable young man," he protested. "You must not go; you are doing well here, and we need you." Haskits shook his head, regretfully, but firmly. "I must go," he repeated. "I have thought it all out." · The old man's eyes grew keen and searching. "But why?" he demanded. "You have always spoken to me true. Now tell me why it is that you must go?" Haskits hesitated, then raised his eyes frankly, as he was accustomed. "It is because I love Joy-of-the-Farm," he answered, "and have no money to offer for her. I would go away and earn some. If I come back rich it may be you will listen to my unworthy offer; now, as a laborer, you can but spurn me. It is hard that you make me speak so soon, most honorable and distinguished benefactor." Old Xalu's eyes twinkled as they had done once before. "I like you for speaking true words," he said. "That is the most profound wisdom of knowledge. I am an old man, but my eyes are strong to look, and I see things. And I cannot work the land as I once could. I need help. See," sweeping his hands around, "there is already evidence of your labor everywhere. It is of much value, and you will give it to me many times more. It is enough. I will tell Joy-of-the-Farm and we will all stay here together and be growers of things to eat."—Florida Agricultural. Take More Sleep Than You Do. Sir John Cockburn insists on the need of more sleep for everybody. He ridicules the old proverb, "Six hours for man, seven for woman and eight for a fool." Sir John declares that he never could do with less than nine, and yet he has been Premier and Agent-General for South Australia. He believes it is only vacations that save the under-slept child from a breakdown. Sleep from ten to thirteen and a half hours is required for a child between five and fourteen years, and from nine to ten hours between the ages of fourteen and nineteen—Detroit United States Dally. They haze in Scotland, too, only there they call it "ragging." OF INTEREST TO WOMEN A PRETTY STOCK. A man's handkerchief—it's new silk and linen colored one—can very easily be transformed into a dainty stock. Select one with a pretty border. Then cut the handkerchief across the top deep enough for the body of the stock. The rest of the handkerchief lays in fine pleats to form a deep jabot. The pleats which form the centre of the stock are carefully stitched down. Below this the fulness flares. The portion of the handkerchief that was cut off is not cut in the centre, and turned so that the border of each piece meets the plented portion of the stock, where it is sewn on, and then continues as a decoration around the bottom of the stock.—Woman's Home Companion. AGAIN THE LOCKET DANGLES. Lockets are in vogue once more. Time was a couple of decades or so ago when she who had not some such glittering pendant on her watch chain or hung by a strand of its own was as incongruous in the eyes of her sisters as a bride without a wedding ring. Then the locket passed out of fashion—almost coincidently with the custom of wearing a loved one's hair in it. Again it is here, and it will be interesting to see what the twentieth century jeweler does with its many possibilities. Gladys Vanderbilt wears a rose gold locket crusted with diamonds and rubles and containing a miniature of her mother not much larger than a gold dollar. Beatrice Mills dangles from a string of tiny pearls a Roman gold locket with a fox's head in relief. Reynard is sniffing superciliously at a hunch of grapes done in blue enamel. Gwendolyn Burden's Grecian locket is adorned with an alto-relevo of Minerva in token of that young woman's well known love of learning. THE SHIRT WAIST SUIT. Evidently the shirt waist suit is to be as good as ever. It is certainly trim and smart, and positively distinguished as compared with skirt and waistst totally unrelated to each other. In white lawn there are dainty affairs as fetching as they will be suitable. Fine tucks, Valenciennes lace, embroidery and French knots are noted in the decoration of these crisp suits. There are cape-yoke effects, and there are straight up-and-down effects. The skirts show only enough trimming to keep them in countenance with the waist. Henry handsome linen suits are to be had both plain and ornate. The former needs no description. One of the latter sort, an effective creation for real occasions of an outdoor nature, is trimmed with a quantity of heaviest crochet lace, which seems to be an appliqué. Embroidery, deftly introduced, also enriches the scheme. A Valyoke is in the blonge, which shows a graduated box pleat at both back and front. THINGS WOMEN SHOULD KNOW. No man is ever really in love who can say so with all-the-ease, ardor and eclat of a stage lover. No man ever loved a woman just because she was good. The husband who never gives his wife a decent word or a compliment would knock down any other man who would treat her in the same way. The sincerest lovers are those who are tongue-tied and don't know where to put their feet. There are two kinds of courage—the courage of the limelight, which prompts a nice young man in white ducks to jump overboard after a girl's handkerchief, and the real courage that makes a man face the horrors of a fashionable wedding, the torture of meeting the bills of a housekeeping apartment and the agonies of walking the floor all night with the baby. The two are seldom coupled in one young man. A man is like a piece of cloth warranted to wash—and matrimony is the laundry. It may improve him, give him starch and freshen him up, or it may take all the color out of, of him. You have to take the chances—Pittsburg Dispatch. THEATRE BOW We may return to that old style of wearing a bow rather than a hat to the theatre. At any rate, such bows are now being bought for the purpose. As a matter of fact they are likely to be as exactly as much in the way of the person sitting behind as the hat of moderate size, the turban, for instance. And what is worse, no woman will expect to remove a mere bow upon request. That they make an effective headdress, however, there is no denying. On the head such an arrangement looks like an Alsatian bow merely. It is usually double or triple and rests crosswise, appearing to the advantage with a low collar. Of the head it looks more like a bonnet. The how rests on a stiff, fat, oblong with crescent tendencies. It is two inches in width and fully seven in length. It is paved with flat roses and edged with a thick tulle pleating. In this case it is all pink, roses, tulle and bow. There is no color limit, however. A charming example is done in white roses and white tulle with a dashing black velvet bow. Dainty blue, crushed raspberry, reseda and ivory, and any number of colors and color combinations serve in these little affairs, which are in reality Dutch bonnets—Washington Times. VALUE OF PRAISE. Has it ever struck you what a sweetener of life is a few words of appreciation and encouragement? How few of us take the trouble to stop a few moments and praise a servant for work well done, or even pause to tell our nearest and dearest how we appreciate all the daily services, which we have apparently never noticed. When our friends die we hasten to send beautiful flowers as a last appreciation of our love for them. But would it not be better if we had helped them by a little praise when they were working, or if we had cheered them in the dark days when they were troubled and suffering? Only a few kind words of appreciation! The cost is nothing., but the recompense is beyond price. Let the husband tell the wife how much he prizes her love for him, and the wife tell her husband how truly she recognizes all his care for her. And the mother should reveal in words how much she values her children's affection, while the child who says to its mother, "Thank you for all your love to me," has rewarded her far beyond knowledge or understanding.—Woman's Life. BOUDOIR CHAT. Women have gone in for tucking and faggoting frillings and stitches, and all the rest of it, and now the industrious woman has the chance of turning her work to the advantage of her summer wardrobe. Crochet belts, crochet lace edgings', crochet yokes, and crochet collars will all come in useful if only a good pattern be chosen, bearing well in mind that they should resemble lace as much as possible. In the impatient mood we are apt to spend far more than is required in the doing of our work, and this excess is lost. We cannot estimate the value of the power thus misplaced. Reams of advice are unloaded upon woman telling, instructing and admonishing her how to make home pleasant so that the lord and master may find comfort therein. So, then, why should not some advice be given to the said lord and master? For verily, there is more than one of them who make home mighty unpleasant. A woman of Binghamton dreamed on two nights that the postmaster was beckoning her. On the third day she determined to go to the postoffice, and when she got there she was given a letter in which she was told that she had fallen heir to $1500. It is said that Binghamtonians have taken to early bed going these nights.-Rochester Union and Advertiser. The American puffs her hair, sometimes too elaborately; but she does not expect to go to the coiffure every other day, and have her tresses arranged in a set pattern. Some women do, of course, but they are not in the majority. Nor are such coiffures generally admitted. Although beauty doctors do not sing the praises of hot water treatment for the toilet there are many ways in which this is invaluable. To drink a bowl of it every night is splendid for the digestion and warrants a good sleep and clear complexion. A bag of hot water at one's feet when one has a cold; to the back when it aches and to the nape of the neck when one has a headache or feels sleepless is one of the best remedies. FRILLS OR FASHION Large patterns on a net or maline ground are in better style than bordered vells. The latest thing is linen spats, to be worn with tailored linen gowns. These come in white and colors. A great many suspender dresses have been noticed among the new simple gowns. An example in these tip-tilted hats is a charming little sailor in a rough violet colored straw. Monotone effects are most liked, but often the pastilles offer a color contrast to the ground of the veil. Wings and quills divide popularity with flowers and hats. Sometimes quills and flowers are combined with good effect. Great bargains may sometimes be picked up in handmade French lingerie. Sometimes garments become soiled and mussed, making their sale a little doubtful. These are marked fairly low, although handmade lingerie is never cheap. One of the surprises of the fashion show is the comparative rarity of shirt waist suits. A ruby velvet hat with a wide and very irregular brim is stylish. The lines of the brim are wavy and are curved sharply upwards in the back. Gowns in shepherds' checks in blue, black, brown, mauve and red, with white, are up to date.

Many a word my tongue has uttered Has brought me sorrow at eventide; Have grieved with a grieving sister; Over my heart, my pride; But never a word in my heart remembered. As-I sit with myself at the close of day, Has pierced with repentance unavail- Than have the words I did not say. The word of cheer that I might have whispered · To a heart that was breaking with weight of woe. The word of hope that I might have given To one whose courage was ebbing low, The word of warning I should have spoken In the ear of one who walked astray— Oh, how they come with a sad rebuking Those helpful words that I did not say. By Count Stanislaus Schembeck. [An out-of-the-way adventure which befell a party of big game hunters, in East Africa. On their way to the river a herd of rhinoceroses found their route blocked by the author's camp, whereupon they attacked it. Count Schembek describes what happened when the infuriated monsters charged down upon his party.] My love of big game shooting has led me to all parts of the world in search of it, amongst other places to the country around the Waso Nyiro: River, in East Africa, where rhinoceroses abound. After a long march through a more than desolate country, inhabited by superstitious natives who fell blood curdling stories about witches, vampires, and such like pleasant folk, we camped one evening on a slope near some trees. Two friends of mine who had accompanied me on my race round the Dark Continent—Monsleur de Rubempre and Bevis O'Sullivan, both of them splendid sportsmen—shared one small fire with me, while our carriers and other attendants made merry a little distance away. wood, leaving a clear space behind them. "Here come the road-makers!" "And here goes the grave-maker," sald De Rubempre, coolly taking alm, with his rifle resting on a branch. On came the monsters at a lumbering gallop. A shot rang out and down went a heavy mass, raising a thick cloud of grey dust and shaking the ground. "Bravo! Good shot!" shouted O'Sullivan. "Your turn, Schembek." I had been alming already, and when he spoke I pressed the trigger, but as I fired the brute I was alming at stumbled over a fallen trunk and came down on his knees, so that my bullet only buried itself in the broad back. "Bad luck!" cried Bevis. "My turn now. Here's for the leader!" The Irishman's bullet brought down I was sleeping the sleep of the just after a meal off a delicious rhinoceros tongue when I was suddenly awakened by a hideous yell. Sitting up, I saw De Ruhempre and O'Sullivan come dashing along in very scanty attire, running as if they were competing for a championship. As they passed me they shouted something—what I could not gather. Astounded, I gazed round in a dazed, half-sleep fashion, and presently saw my flying friends take refuge behind the sycamore trees which shaded the camp. Looking in the opposite direction, I was horrified to see a huge rhinoceros moving briskly about at the other end of the camp. Needless to say, I hurriedly got out of bed. I was too sleepy and dazed to think of weapons, and was about to join my friends among the trees when the rhinoceros, with an odd little jump, disappeared in the bushes, leaving one of our fires stamped out and some of the packs knocked as flat as pancakes. The excitement gradually subsided after the departure of the huge animal, and once more slumber fell upon the camp. But it was apparently decreed that our peace was to be disturbed continually during that night, for I had just-gone to sleep again and was dreaming of shooting rhinoceroses with one shot each, like pheasants, when I heard my name pronounced in a ghostly whisper. Opening my eyes, I saw De Rubempre being over me. "What's the matter?" I asked, sleepily. "Look, man!" he murmured, excitedly; "The rhinoceros is returning with his whiee family." "Oh, bother the rhinoceros!" I said, turning over lazily; by the Frenchman shook me until I sat up—with very bad grace. Not far off, clearly visible in the bright moonlight, I beheld a whole herd of rhinoceroses, apparently examining the camp. Their looks did not please me, and, rising to my feet, I snatched up my gun. I discovered, however, that with the deceptive light it was impossible to aim with any certainty. Morsover, I reflected that if once the great brutes became infuriated and charged down on the camp, the Zulu saying, "You shall be stamped flat," would not only be figuratively, but literally exemplified. I don't think I have ever been so uneasy as at that moment, for I felt helpless before this mighty avalanche of flesh and bone, which the least accident might send rolling irresistibly towards us. De Rubempre saw the danger, too; and although he has proved his bravery over and over again, he paled, and anxiously looked at the trees. O'Sullivan only, with his infectious Irish gaiety, did not for a minute think of the danger. Presently we detected a movement amongst the herd; the huge brutes seemed to be lining up in some sort of order. "Looks as though they were going to reproduce the charge of Balachava" observed the irrepressible O'Sullivan, and I was inclined to agree with him. For half an hour the rhinoceroses came no nearer, although they moved round and round us in clumsy circles. The scene was strikingly weird—those hulking grey bodies flitting through the darkness all about us. Suddenly there was a shriek of "Farut" from our natives, and with one accord they made for the trees. The ponderous animals were charging down towards the camp! "Here come the gallant six hundred!" observed O'Sullivan, and hurriedly swung himself into a tree. The Frenchman and I also clambered up and got our heavy guns ready. O'Sullivan was literally bubbling over with galley, in spite of the seriousness of the situation. "Hooroo!" he yelled, as the great brutes came tearing through the brush. So many and sweet: I had but said them my heart then would have been; What a dew of blessing would fall upon it As the day's remembrances gather in; But I said them not and the chance forever Is gone with the moments of yesterday, And I sit alone with a spirit burdened By all the words that I did not say. The morrow will come with its new beginning. Glad and grand, through the morning's gates Shalb I not then with this thought beside me. Go bravely forth to the work that waits Giving a message of cheer and kindness To all I meet on the world's highway, So that I never will grieve at twilight --- wood, leaving a clear space behind them. "Here come the road-makers!" "And here goes the grave-maker," sald De Rubemble, coolly taking aim, with his rifle resting on a branch. On came the monsters at a lumbering gallop. A shot rang out and down went a heavy mass, raising a thick cloud of grey dust and shaking the ground. "Bravel. Good shot!" shouted O'Sullivan. "Your turn, Schembeck." I had been alming already, and when he spoke I pressed the trigger, but as I fired the brute I was alming at stumbled over a fallen trunk and came down on his knees, so that my bullet only buried itself in the broad back. "Bad luck" cried Bovls. "My turn now. Here's for the leader!" The Irishman's bullet brought down a giant animal, which lay on the ground struggling, kicking, and making an awful uproar. The scene was now a veritable pandemonium. Stamping rhinoceroses, screaming natives in trees, Bevis shouting out mad jokes, and the rapid reports of the rifles combined to produce a bewildering uproar. Clouds had by this time hidden the moon, and we could hardly see to shoot. The intruding animals were now in among the campfires, and in the twinkling of an eno the flames to the last ember were trodden out. Dimly we could see our beds being stamped under foot and scattered, and the packs hurled this way and that. Then for a few minutes we fired a little more surely, for the moon showed itself again, and five dead animals soon lay stiff on the ground, while not a few others were badly wounded. Having vented their rage on inanimate things, the great brutes began to think of the men. One of the natives, paralyzed with fear, had been unable to climb a tree, and was now staring at the rhinoceroses over the top of a thick prickly bush. Our attention was drawn to the man for the first time by one of the animals stopping short and sniffing found. It did not see the man, but scented him, and with a bellow of fury it went for the bush like a hurricane. We yelled out to the native to save himself, and, roused from his stupor, he sprang to his feet and raced away, with the animal after him. I slipped a little farther down the tree and called to him, whereupon he swerved rapidly from his course and came towards me, while the levitathan stopped short, plowing up the ground with its heavy feet. Finally it turned, for all the world like a clumsy mastiff puppy, and resumed the chase. The screaming native ran towards my tree, and I held out my hand and dragged him up, jelling him to climb up higher. He did not need to be told twice, and went up as high as he could. Luckily for him, as the sequel will show, it was not a tall tree. The great animal, with ponderous tread, came on after him. Arrived at the foot of the tree, it stood still, apparently astonished at the native disappearance, and then aimed a vicious blow at the tree trunk with its sharp horn. I did not intend to let it demolish my perch so easily, so I slipped down to the bottom branch, and leaning forward, held my rifle point blank at its ear and pressed the trigger. Such a shot is fatal, and I had the satisfaction of seeing it waver, take a few steps, and then fall with a crash, its whole weight resting against the tree, which bent like a cane. I clutched wildly at the branch to prevent myself falling, and nearly dropped my rifle, while a crashing, rending noise, followed by a shriek from above, told that some one had been dislodged by the shock. Branch after branch was snapped by the falling of some heavy body, until finally it hit the stronger boughs and bounced off to the ground. I realized then that the native in his terror had climbed too high up, where the branches could hardly bear him, and the sudden jerk had hurled him down. For a minute I thought another rhinoceros would come and crush him before he could get up again, but to my astonishment the rose to his feet and limped away at a good rate into the bushes. Evidently he did not intend to trust to tree-tops again. For a short while longer the rhinoceroses wandered about the camp, and then their interest shifted to our wagon, which they surrounded with the evident intention of upsetting it. They had not sufficient sense, however, to realize that if they pushed on both sides at once it would not go down, so they did not succeed in overturning it. All this time we fired at intervals into the mass of animals, meanwhile speculating among ourselves as to why such a large number of rhinoceroses had banded themselves together. Presently, to our great relief, they tired of their sport, and moved on farther into the wilderness. Do Rubampre and O'Sullivan followed them for some distance to see what they would do next, while I ordered; coaxed, or bullied the frightened natives into desponding from their lofty roosting places, where they much resembled a flock of crows. One by one they came down and gathered round me, shivering with cold and terror, and casting apprehensive glances in the direction whence the marauding animals had disappeared. Tomfoolery CONVERSATION. Conversation is but carving; Give no more to every guest Than he's able to digest; Give him always of the prime, After a time, however, I induced them to relight the fires, and then a few of them went to fetch the wagon-oxen. These by a hucky chance had been picketed at a distance in charge of five men, because of the more plentiful pasture there. The damage to our camp was not so great as it might have been, although the low jents under which we had been sleeping, our beds, and all the cooking utensils left outside the wagons, besides a few packs thrown down by the carriers, had been so trampled out of shape that it toook a certain amount of divination and a vivid imagination to guess what they were. When De Rubempre and O'Sullivan came in they reported that they had followed the herd for some distance. The animals seemed to form a fairly regular phalanx, following a given road. They had gone down to the river, drunk and bathed, and then crossed by a ford and disappeared at a rapid pace on the other side. Haying hauled the wagons to a fresh camping place—for the old one was trampled into mud by the huge feet—we lit great fires and got to sleep at last, with our bones aching from the nocturnal gymnastics we had been compelled to indulge in. Next morning we discovered a sort of path leading through the country which we had not hitherto noticed because of the spring growth covering the roughly made way, trampled out by the feet of many wild animals during countless ages. It was apparently an animal trail leading to the river. That was as much of the secret of the huge beasts as we could fathom. We had camped across their pathway, barring their way to the water, and they naturally resented our conduct. And so ended our adventure.—The Wide World Magazine. WISDOM'S WHISPERS. Trifers miss the truth. To-day is the root of forever. The firm in faith never stand still. No sane man is an optimist at all times. Codfish aristocrats are the spawn of codfish republics. The course of human liberty never yet did run smooth. In speech, quality is everything; quantity a mere detail. Form, good habits! Our lives are moulded by our habits. An humble attitude gives no clew to the real feeling underlying it. Too much firmness of character produces an impression of pedantry. The best way to be grateful is to give another occasion for gratitude. It is well to remember that the nimble dollar is not the eternal dollar, Few things cost less than encouragement, and fewer still are worth more. Variable Stars: There are certain stars which show more or less conspicuous variations of brightness. Among the six thousand, easily visible to the naked eye there are between fifty and a hundred of which this is true; about half a dozen of them were known before 1800. If we include the telescopic stars, the number of known variables is at present at least thirteen hundred, and this without taking account of several hundred more which have been detected in certain star clusters within the past five or six years. Ten years ago Dr. Chandler's catalogue of variables included only about three hundred objects. The roll is now increasing with extreme rapidity, between two and three hundred having been added within the last twelve months. This swift growth is due largely to the utilization of photography which, through the comparison of photographs of given portions of the heavens taken at different times, continually brings out new variables. When thus detected the astronomers proceed to study them in detail with photometers attached to their telescopes, enabling them accurately to compare the brightness of each suspected object from time to time with that of its neighboring stars, and thus to determine the amount and character of its variation as represented by its so-called "light-curve."—Professor Charles A. Young, of Princeton University, in Harper's Weekly. Vacation Work For Boys. Senator O. G. Laugen's bill offering a $2 reward for killing rattlesnakes was recommended for passage by the Senate Committee on Agriculture yesterday. The purpose of the bill is to rid the State, especially the southwestern part, of rattlesnakes. It is argued that the bill at the same time will furnish means of employment for boys during the summer vacations. The advocates of the bill say that rattlesnakes are so numerous in the southwestern part of the State that an average boy can make excellent wages hunting them. -St. Paul Pioneer Press, Tomfoolery CONVERSATION.

The magician first is blindfolded; then three or four pennies of different dates are obtained from the audience and well shaken up in a hat. One of the coins is now selected at random, THE BLINDFOLDED MAGIC and all the company are requested to notice the date, for which purpose the coin is passed from hand to hand. It is now returned to the hat and the coins are vigorously shaken again. The wizard announces that he will pick out that particular coin from among the others, which he does, much THE BABY SOLILOQUIZES. Somebody whose first name is pa came in my room to-day How some person could be taught to play some sort of game; Why some one hadn't any nose to men- nature at what store Somebody got the lovely clothes somebody always wore. I've looked about the room all day, in hopes of finding out Who that somebody is that they all talk so much about; And I've concluded that that person certainly must be THE HORNED OWL'S· NEST. Work had been going on all day in the sugar bush; the sap had been gathered and drawn to the boiling place, until there remained but a few scattering trees to be visited near the swamp. The boy was sofy whistling to himself, when a rabbit with easy, graceful bounds, crossed the road but a few paces ahead of him and stopped by the side of a birch bush to nibble the tender buds. Just then a startling sound came up from the swamp. Why did the rabbit pause 'in his dalty meal and squat in his very tracks until his form more nearly resembled a footprint in the snow than a living mammal? The chattering red squirrel dropped into the crotch of a tree, and ceased to chatter, as the omnious and almost supernatural "Whoo-hoo-hod-wo-hooo" sounded through the dismal swamp and echoed through the maple grove. This was the hunting call of the Great Horned Owl. The actions of the rabbit and squirrel did not surprise the boy, who had always heard that this owl was a veritable Nero among the feathered race. As yet he had never discovered the nest of the Great Horned Owl. It was now the first week in March. Of late he had heard the weird call frequently from the swamp, causing him to believe the birds were nesting there, and he fully determined to make a search for that nest. The next day was spent in a fruitless search, and it perplexed the boy, for often he had located the nest of the bobolink and meadow lark—nests that are not easily found. But the second day's sparc ended, about noon, in rather an interesting manner. The boy stopped for lunch and a little rest under a hemlock that he knew well, for, the spring before, a pair of crowds had a nest in the tree. The old nest was still there, and, just to see what condition it was in after the storms of winter, he ascended the tree. The nest was between fifty and sixty feet from the ground. Just imagine the boy's surprise when about thirty feet from the nest to see a Great Horned Owl silently glide off and wing its way through the tree tops. It was a revelation, upon reaching it, to find that the Great Horned Owl had really used the old crowds' nest, which had the appearance of being slightly remodeled, and was sparsely lined with evergreen leaves and feathers. In the nest were three white eggs, about the size of a Bantam's. The boy afterward learned that the usual number of eggs deposited by the Great Horned Owl is two, and that sometimes the bird constructs a nest for itself in a hollow tree or an evergreen. On the first of April there were two little owls in the nest, and a day later a third appeared. They were queer-looking little birds, seeming_to be nearly all head and eyes, and their bodies were covered with the softest of down. The young birds grew, very, slowly; to the astonishment of his audience. They cry out that it was only a piece of luck, but after he has again chosen correctly they will begin to wonder what occult science he uses in determining the right coin, and they will ask him to show them the trick.

They remained in the nest for about eleven weeks, which is long compared with most of our birds—many young birds leaving the nest in from twelve to fifteen days, and the woodcock, bob-white and ruffled grouse in about as many hours.—Sillas A. Lottridge, in St. Nicholas. THE TEN-NOUN TALE. Boys and girls who wish their games to be something more than mere time-killers, will find this one especially interesting and entertaining. It is intended for young people who have reached the composition writing age, and will prove a good test of their readiness in that art. Each player is provided with a pencil and a sheet of paper, and some one selected for the purpose then dictates ten nouns, which the players are to write at the top of their paper. The nouns must have no connection with each other in sense. Then the players are told that they must each write a little story, in which they must use all ten of the nouns. A time limit should be fixed, say, twenty or thirty minutes, and the stories are then handed in to the person who acts as judge. He reads them-all to the players, and then selects the best two or three, to the writers of which a prize should be given. Suppose, for example, that the nouns given to the players are vase, stick, sidesaddle, celery, apple, coal, desk, cradle, organ, paper case; here is a story showing how they are to be used: "It was very careless in you, Tom. Yes, I suppose the vase may be mended, but I have told you often not to flourish that stick about in the way you have been doing. Mary, as you are going to town, will you get me some cement from Johnston's?" "Yes, mamma; I have already told William to put the sidesaddle on my horse." "Very well; you might call at the grocery and get some celery; and be sure to bring an apple. Go also to Lane's and order a ton of coal." "I'm afraid I can't remember all that, mamma." "Well, bring me my desk and I will make a memorandum for you. There's the baby crying; what if the world is the matter now. I wonder?" "Master Tom's upset the cradle, mum, and spilled the baby," said Norah, opening the door to the sitting room. "Tom again! That boy's organ of mischief or awkwardness is bigger than his head. Why, there is no paper in the desk! Look in the paper case, Mary, and get me some. Here is your list at last. Be off, now, and hurry back home." - Indianapolis News. EARLY RISERS. 'A student of bird life, who has been investigating the question as to the hour in summer when the commonest small birds wake up and begin to sing, says that the Greenfinch is the earliest riser, as it sings about 1.30 o'clock in the morning. The Blackcap begins at 2.30 and the Quail half an hour later. It is nearly 4 o'clock, and the sun is well up, before the first real songster appears—the merry Blackbird. Then comes the Thrush, followed by the Robin and the Wren; and last, the House Sparrow, and the Tomtit. "Thus it will be seen that the Lark's reputation as, an early riser is not deserved. In fact, he is a very sluggard, for he does not rise until long after many hedgerow birds have been about for some time.—New York Evening Mall. The Savannah Tribune SATURDAY, MAY 6, 1905. Rev.

Two of the best games of base ball seen at the park were played on Monday and Tuesday last between the teams of Shaw University, Raleigh, N. C., and the Georgia State College. Both sides had good players and proved themselves to be such. The attendance each day was large and much enthusiasm was manifested; naturally the State College team received the lion's share of the applause. The State College won on Monday by a score of 2 to 1. This was reversed in Shaw's favor the next day by 4 to 1. "I Thank The Lord." cried Hannah Plant, of Little Rock, Ark., "for the relief I got from Bucklen's Arnica Salve.

TRAINED NURSE Mrs. Martha Pohlman of 55 Chester Avenue, Newark, N. J., who is a graduate Nurse from the Blockley Training School, at Philadelphia, and for six years Chief Clinie Nurse at the Philadelphia Hospital, writes the letter printed below. She has the advantage of personal experience, besides her professional education, and what she has to say may be absolutely relied upon. Mrs Martha Pohlman Many other women are afflicted as she was. They can regain health in the same way. It is prudent to heed such advice from such a source. Mrs. Pohlman writes: "I am firmly persuaded, after eight years of experience with Lydia E. Pinkman's Vegetable Compound, that it is the safest and best medicine for any suffering woman to do." "Immediately after my marriage I found that my health began to fail me. I became weak and pale, with severe bearing-down pains, fearful bookaches and frequent spells. As doctors prosecute me, I did not improve. I would blast after eating and frequently become mauseated. I had an acrid discharge and palms down through my limbs so I could hardly walk. It was as bad a case of female trouble as I have ever known. Lydia E. Lydia E.写得 vegetable Compound, however, cured me with it. I have not known time I have had occasion to recommend it to a number of patients suffering from all forms of female difficulties, and I find that while it is considered unprofessional to recommend a patient medicine, I can honestly Compound, for I have Pinkham's Vegetable female ill, where all other medicine fails. It is a grand medicine for sick women." Money cannot buy such testimony as this—merit alone can produce such results, and the ablest specialists now agree that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the most universally successful remedy for all female diseases known to medicine. When women are troubled with irregular, suppressed or painful menstruation, weakness, leucorrhoea, displacement or ulceration of the womb, that bearing-down feeling, inflammation of the ovaries, backache, bloating (or flatulence), general debility, indigestion, and nervous prostration, or are beset with such symptoms as dizziness E.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once removes such troubles. No other female medicine in the world has received such widespread and unqualified endorsement. No other medicine has such a record of cures of female troubles. The needless suffering of women from diseases peculiar to their sex is terrible to see. The money which they pay to doctors who do not help them is an enormous waste. The pain is cured and the money is saved by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Experience has proved this. It is well for women who are ill to write Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. In her great experience, which covers many years, she has probably had to deal with dozens of cases just like yours.

Her face was being eaten away, and her ears looked as if they would drop off. I had three doctors, but she grew worse. Neighbors advised Cuticura, and before I had used half of the cake of soap and box of cement, the soras had all healed, and my little one's skin was as clear as a new-born baby's.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable.

It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for cure.

"My stars, Ozi, you aren't going to give that man say sum aum' money as that, now are you?" demanded his wife with much spirit. "You know it's extortion—you know"—But to her amazement Mr. Ransome placed his hands in his pockets and tipped back the hotel chair in a position that indicated peace, of mind. "Now see here, Budory," he said, tranquilly, "I didn't sense it at first, but when you consider that in Potterville I'd have to be sick most six months to run up a bill of that size, we've got something to be thankful for that I was took with that spell here 'stead of at home.' Mrs. Ransome, pressed her hand to her forehead. "But supposing you had been sick only those three days at home and"—she began with a bewildered air, finding small comfort in her husband's reasoning, "why then"— "We've no need to suppose," said Mr. Ransome with cheerful firmness. "We've got to take the decrees of Providence jest as they come. You dwell on the thought of my being saved six months in bed right in the beat of summer."—Youth's Companion. Lending His Hand. The occasions on which Professor Faraway was invited to speak in public-were times of great anxiety to his wife. If she succeeded in starting him for the platform properly clothed, and with his notes in his hand, part of her cares vanished, but not all of them. One evening her husband was one of seven distinguished professional men who were to speak before a scientific society consisting of men from all parts of the county. His speech was clear that night, free from the absent-minded murmurs which sometimes interspersed his discourse, and he seated himself Mrs. Faraway felt that he had fully earned the burst of applause—and then her cheeks crimsoned. "Did you see anything amusing about the close of my address, my dear?" asked the professor, as they started for home. "It seemed as if I heard sounds of suggestive merriment about me." "I don't wonder," ald Mrs. Faraway, who up to that time had maintained the silence of despair, "for of all the people who applauded your address, you, with your head in the air and your chair tilted sidewise clapped the loudest and longest!" The Chevron. "Did you ever notice," inquired one of the old veterans who frequent the Occidental Hotel lobby, "that the sergeants and corporals of the army now wear their chevrons with the point up? It's only been in late years that they've done so. The marines always did, but the army for years had the points down. It's only lately that the chevron has been understood. The chevron is inherited from the feudal days, and meant a roof. A man who had rank enough to be a non-commissioned officer was required to be a freeholder, a man who owned the roof over his head. The chevron represented a gabled roof. The private owned no home. The increase in rank for different grades of non-commissioned officers was measured by additional roofs, the sergeant, for instance, having three chevrons, against one for the lance corporal. You'll find that nearly all of these military devices have some origin of historical interest."—San Francisco Chronicle. Against Rate Reduction: Atlanta, Ga.—The recent proposition of J. Pope Brown, Chairman of the Georgia Railroad Commission, to reduce the passenger rate in Georgia from three to two cents per mile was protested against by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, the Order of Railway Conductors, and unions of the blacksmiths, machinists and telegraphers, bollermakers, railway train men, carpenters and joiners, clerks and car men. These organizations employed an attorney especially to represent them, who urged that such a reduction would work against the prosperity of the State and lead to a reduction in the number of railroad employees as well as of their wages. The Travelers' Protective Association also protested that a reduction as proposed would result in fewer trains and poorer service. Training the Left Hand. It is one of the good signs of the times that the use of the left hand is coming into fashion in education. Our children, let us hope, are not to be forever crippled by being brought up "one-handed." We are learning at last the absurdity of allowing one of our hands to fall into practical disuse; and the excellent names behind the newly formed Ambidextral Culture Society give ground for hope that common sense may prevail on the subject and lead to the development of a two-handed instead of a one-handed race—London Mall. OF MORE CONCERN. TO HER. "Of course," said one woman, "we all have to overlook some shortcomings on the part of our husbands."
