Terrific Tornado Wrecks Town of Snyder, in Oklahoma Territory. While People Were Wrapped in Slumber Death-Dealing Element Swooped Down Upon Them Unaware—All Communication With Outside World is Meager reports reaching Fort Worth, Texas, state that a terrific cyclone struck Snyder, Oklahoma, Wednesday night, wrecking the town and killing five hundred people, and relief is asked for. A message to the train dispatcher sent from Fort Worth asking for information was answered as follows: "We have same report and are sending a relief train on the supposition that it is true. Wires all down." The telegraph operator at Chickasaw, I. T., states that he talked over the telephone with Hobart, Okla., near Snyder, and that all wires in the vicinity of Snyder were down, but relief trains were being sent from several directions to Snyder. Snyder is a town of 1,000 people in Klowa county, Oklahoma, located on the Frisco, 45 miles north of Vernon. Confirmatory Dispatches. Reports reached Oklahoma City from Hobart and Anadarko confirming the news of a tornado at Snyder, but no details were given. Telephone reports received in Guthrie from Hobart, I. T., indicate that the entire town of Snyder was destroyed by a tornado. A train of doctors, nurses and other assistance left Hobart for Snyder. At 11:40 o'clock Wednesday night the dispatcher for the Frisco in Sapulpa, I. T., received a report from Enid, O. T., advising that a tornado had struck Snyder, Oklahoma, wrecking the town and killing 500 people, among whom was the station agent of the Frisco at that town. The request came also for assistance. On the strength of the report the dispatcher ordered a relief train with physicians to be sent from Chickasha, I. T., and Quanah, Texas. The wire between Snyder and Sapulpa went down about 10 p. m. TWO HUNDRED JEWS KILLED. Kishineff Horror Seems to Have Been Repeated in Zehitomir. Very grave reports are current in St. Petersburg as to the extent of the massacre of Jews at Zehitomir, the number of killed or wounded now being placed as high as two hundred, but precise information is lacking. The minister of the interior has called for a detailed report. Dispatches are being held up. Telegraphs sent by the newspapers to Zehitomir remain unanswered. It is asserted that a fortnight before the disorders proclamations were spread calling on the Christians to beat the Jews. When these proclamations were shown to the mayor of Zehitomir, the latter declared them to be stupid and said there was no occasion for alarm. TOBAÇCO KING LAID TO REST.

BLANCHARD AFTER MOB Governor of Louisiana Offers Reward for Members of Mob Who Shot Craighead In Jail Cell. 3 Governor Blanchard of Louisiana has made an offer of rewards ugreg gating $1,500 to secure the arrest and conviction of members of the mob which on April,26 entered the parish jail at Homer, La., and shot to death Dick Craighead, awaiting, a new trial for the murder of Mrs. McKee and child. Fifteen hundred dollars is offered for the identification and conviction of the entire mob, twenty-five in number; $1,000 for the conviction of any five or more, or $500 for the conviction of any one person who was a member of it. The offer of rewards is to remain in effect for a year. The governor issued an address to the people of Claiborne parish, denouncing the assassination of Craighead, in which he said: "This resort to mob law greatly injures the good name of the state and tends greatly to impede her progress. Especially does it work harm to the community in which it took place. Whether Craighead was innocent or guilty of the double murder with which he stood charged has nothing to do with it. In the eyes of the law the parties who mobbed the jail are as much subject to condemnation if Craighead were guilty as they would be if he were innocent. "We must inculcate respect for law and order. We must let it be known that here in Louisiana life and property are protected. We must make the law a terror to those who defy it, and this mob did defy it outrageously. "All good citizens owe it to the state, to the community in which they live, to range themselves on the side of the officers of the law in the effort that will be made to identify and bring to trial those who formed the mob. "I appeal to the good people of the parish to uphold the cause of law and order. The executive department will render every assistance in its power to bring the guilty parties to answer at the bar of justice for their crime." Japanese Army in Manchuria Again Pressing Toward North. According to dispatches from Manchuria, since April 29, the Japanese have been advancing slowly and intermittently, pushing forward their columns successively from right to left under cover of a screen of cavalry and Chinese bandits. The advance has resulted in straightening the alignment, of the opposing armigs, Russian detachments which were far in advance on the flanks being forced to retire. Erdagou, to the eastward, was occupied May 5, but under pressure by the Russians, the Japanese later evacuated the place. On the left the Russian cavalry retired behind the Liao river, It is reported that the Japanese armies in the center have been reinforced. The force at Field Marshal Oyama's disposal according to information recently received is 348 battalions of 390,000 men. FRANCE HAS ANGERED JAPAN. Alleged Breach of Neutrality Engenders Wrath of Dangerous Tension. Special dispatches from Tokio to the London morning newspapers represent that the Japanese feeling is becoming highly inflamed at France's alleged failure to prevent ostentatious disregard for the principles of neutrality by the Russian Pacific squadron. The Tokio Asahi (newspaper) describes the French assurances that they would preserve neutrality as falsehoods, and declares that Japan would be justified in bombarding French territory, and calls on the government to take vigorous action. Among Japanese officials in London it is asserted that France put off Japan by fair promises in order to give Rojestvensky time to effect a junction with Nebogatoff's division, and that the Russians are now given every privilege, provided they keep just outside the three-mile limit. A SURFEIT OF STRAWBERRIES. Roads Unable to, Handle Crop in the North State and Heavy Loss Results. There has never been anything in Mr. Hyde has his interests and his the history of North Carolina that compares with the railroad block at Chadburn. More than $200,000 worth of strawberries have rotted at the depot. The railroad hauled car load after car load of fine but spolled berries to the river and dumped them as so much garbage. The loss to the truck growers of the section will be at least $600,000. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. MAY 13. 1905. DYNAMITE HORROR Express Crashes Into Cars Loaded With Explosives. DEATH HARVEST RESULTS Estimates Place Number of Passengers Killed at Half a Hundred. Wreckage Takes Fire and Adds to Disaster. An express train on the Emmysylvania railroad ran into a freight train in which there were two cars loaded with dynamite at 1:10 o'clock Thursday morning in South Harrisburg, Pa. near the plant of the Paxtang Light, Heat and Power company. Three terrific explosions that broke windows all over the city followed and two trains were completely wrecked and took fire. It was estimated that fifty persons were killed and one hundred infured. When the first explosion occurred bodies were thrown clear out of the berths in the sleeping cars, many landing down on the railroad embankment, and some even having been hurled into the Susquehanna river, which parallels the railroad in, that locality. All the physicians procurable in Harrisburg were summoned to work with the injured. A fire alarm sounded and the firemen arrived, to find themselves practically helpless in the work of rescue. A police patrol wagon was commissioned as an ambulance, and many of the injured as possible were loaded into it on each trip and taken to the Harisburg hospital, the capacity of which soon became taxed because of the large number that were brought in. A special train was made up and transferred injured and dying to the union station. Many of the injured were taken into private houses. Immediately after the wreck, all the passengers who could do so ran from the scenes of horror to safety from the incessant small explosions. The agonizing cries of the unfortunates were heartrending. The office of the Paxtang Light, Heat and Power Company was transformed into a temporary hospital. At an early hour the Harrisburg Traction company ran out a number of cars from its South Harrisburg barns and used them to bring the injured to the hospital. The train was the second section of the No. 19. There were 169 passengers, aboard. RESENTS SLUR ON ARMY. Labor Leaders in Chicago Nettle Roostvelt in Wording of Petition. A strongly worded protest against the sending of federal troops to Chicago was submitted to President Roosevelt while he was in that city Wednesday. The protest is signed by C P. Shea, president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters; Charles Dold, president of the Chicago Federation of Labor, and by other labor leaders. "Peace," says the protest of the labor leaders, "rests not upon the militia or the army, but upon the patience and long suffering of the tolling scares. Can a few soldiers scare the men who make armies and who compose the flower of American manhood." The committee presenting the protest was received by the president in person at the Auditorium annex. The president told them no demand had been made upon him for use of troops in Chicago. He said that he regretted that the protest spoke of the federal army as it did. The president said: "Of the merits of the case, I am wholly ignorant. I have no knowledge of what the situation is, or of what steps should be taken to end it. I feel however, that in view of one statement, I ought to say this: I regret that you should in the letter have spoken at all of the use of the federal army as you have there spoken. "What I have to say is based purely upon what I regard as the unfortunate phrasing of a letter presented to the president of the United-States." AGED COUPLE MURDERED. Man and Wife Found Dead with Skulls Horribly Crushed. F. M. Holbrook, a highly respected and prosperous citizen of McDuffie county, Georgia, and his wife were murdered in a horrible manner Tuesday night. The aged couple lived alone and it is thought the object of the murder was to rob the store adjoining the residence. Mr. and Mrs. Holbrook had evidently retired and were aroused by some without. Mr. Holbrook had gone to the door and met his death. It is evident that Mrs. Holbrook followed her husband and was also killed. BOTH SIDES CONFIDENT. Teamsters and Employers Claim Upper Hand in Chicago Strike—More Rioting Occurs. Both employers and strikers claimed gains in the teamsters' strike at Chicago Monday. The employers declare that they gained a considerable average in the number of wagons sent out and the amount of business transacted. The strikers' claim is based on the fact that 250 drivers for the various furniture dealers in the city will strike and also 150 paint workers employed by the Heath & Milligan company. The strike of the furniture dealers' drivers was foreshadowed on Saturday, when at a convention of the Furniture Dealers' Association, it was declared that their men must make deliveries irrespective of strike orders. The paint workers of Messrs. Heath & Milligan are the first members of any union not a member of the teamsters' organization to go on strike in support of the teamsters. They have walked out because of the delivery of goods by non-union teamsters. The State street department stores and large dry goods houses sent out nearly their complement of delivery wagons Monday morning and throughout the day transacted business on almost a normal basis. On the wagons of Carson, Plere, Scott & Co., ample preparations were made for possible trouble. All of their wagons were guarded by at least two representatives of the law, either police officers in buggies or deputy sheriffs, the latter being in all cases armed with rifles. The deputies sat in the rear of the wagons held their guns in positions to use at the first sign of disturbance. The big department store of Rothschild & Co. for the first time since the strike loaded their wagons Monday, using policemen and deputy sheriffs for protection. When it was found that they could not be supplied with the necessary number of deputies, numbers of their employees were sworn in by the sheriff. This procedure was adopted by many of the houses, and the sheriff by night had 1,150 deputies at work. No more colored men are being hired, either by the State street stores or by the Employers' Teaming company, and as rapidly as possible those now at work are being supplanted by white men. The rioting Monday was of a sharper character than that of Saturday. Three men were fatally injured and a number badly beaten up. MONEY FOR FOREIGN MISSIONS. Southern Methodists Appropriated More Than $250,000. The board of missions of the M. E. Church, South, before final adourn- ment at Nashville, made appropriations for foreign mission conferences aggregating $255,368. Among the appropriations for the various home conferences were the following: Alabama, $13,513; Baltimore, $15,823; Florida, $4,950; Louisiana, $11,396; Memphis, $13,60; Mississippi, $10,124; North Carolina, $15,438; North Georgia, $22,709; South Carolina, $19,288; South Georgia, $13, 131; Virginia, $255,248; Western North Carolina, $16,285; West Virginia, $2,200. AGED FARMER SLAYS WIFE. Attempts to Hang Himself, But is Prevented by His Son. Lum Walker, a farmer living near Mansfield, Ga., shot and killed his wife, Mrs. Lula Walker, about four o'clock Monday morning. He then attempted to hang himself, but was cut down by his son. No cause is known for the tragedy. Walker is 54 years old and his wife was in her 50th year. They have six children, three of them married. Massacre of Jews Reported. Sensational rumors were current in St. Petersburg Monday that there has been a three days massacre of Jews at Zhitomlr, capital of the province of Volhynia, in southwestern Russia. CLAIM THAT PEACE IS NEAR. Mayor of Chicago Notifies Governor That State Militia Is Not Needed That State Militia is Not Needed. A Chicago dispatch says: Governor Deneen and Mayor Dupne had a conference over the long distance telephone Saturday and the mayor assured the governor that everything was quiet and there was no need for the militia. The Cook county authorities claim to have the situation well in hand. Sheriff Barrett now has five hundred deputies (all white), who are aiding the two thousand policemen on strike duty, SEEKS SGAPEGOAT Georgia Agricultural Commissioner and Head of Southern Cotton Association Engage in Decidedly Bitter Controversy. "Mr. Jordan is now hunting for a scapegoat, and I do not propose that he shall use me for that purpose." So said Commissioner of Agriculture of Georgia, O. B. Stevens, to a representative of the Atlanta Constitution, after reading in an afternoon paper the letter of Hon. Harvie Jordan, president of the Southern Cotton Association, in which Mr. Jordan charges that "Mr. Stevens is undertaking to apologize for or stand by the fertilizer companies in the reckless waste of tags this season." President Jordan's charge is based on an interview with Commissioner Stevens, which was gathered by a representative of the Constitution in the course of a casual conversation with the commissioner, and in which Colonel Stevens stated that the presence of unused fertilizer tags in cars of guano was doubtless due to carelessness of employees, as the fertilizer companies, even if they desired to create the impression of heavy sales, would hardly scatter the tags in that way, but would rather destroy them or hide them away. President Jordan quotes part of this interview and seriously charges Commissioner Stevens with "undertaking to apologize or stand by the fertilizer companies in the reckless waste of tags this season, and to admit that the same condition of affairs has been going on every year." Continuing, Mr. Jordan declares that instead of co-operating with the farmers and the Southern Cotton Association in trying to expose the fertilizer companies in their wanton waste of tags, he appears from his interview "to have prejudged the case, and rendered his verdict in favor of the fertilizer companies." When shown President Jordan's letter Colonel Stevens, after reading ft. made the following brief but pointed statement: "I have no desire to get into a controversy with Hon. Harvie Jordan. I have, to the best of my ability, supported the Southern Cotton Association movement, and have in every way endeavored to uphold Mr. Jordan's hands, having gone of my own motion to New Orleans to assist him in his election to the presidency. "The trouble with Mr. Jordan is that he is now hunting for a scapegoat, and I do not propose that he shall use me for that purpose. No doubt Mr. Jordan is doing his best to earn his $5,000 salary, but I am under the impression that if he had proceeded along lines somewhat different from those followed by him since the New Orleans convention, we would now be getting much higher prices for our cotton." "Mr. Jordan seems to have been a systematic kicker, and I am simply one of the many on whose unoffending heads he has poured the vial of his wrath. "I am perfectly willing that the farming interests of Georgia should judge between Harvie, Jordan and myself, and as to which of the two has done most in contributing to the development of the agricultural interests of the state." Four Hostile Craft Reported as Sighted off Hokkaloo. A special from Toklo, under date of Saturday, says: Four Russian torpedo boat destroyers were sighted west of Hokkaloo yesterday (Friday). Hokkaloo is the northernmost province of the empire of Japan. Report That Jap Ships Were Sent to Intercept Admiral Nebogotoff. Admiral Rojestvensky, according to a high naval authority at St. Petersburg, has sailed south to meet the division of the Russian second Pacific squadron, commanded by Admiral Nebogotoff. The admiralty has information that a Japanese division of fast cruisers and torpedo boat destroyers was sent south for the purpose, if possible, of cripping or destroying Nebogotoff's ships before they could effect a junction with those of Rojestvensky. Investigation of the Packers. Very general interest has been manifested in the Government investigations now in progress into the mode of conducting business by the large packers located in Chicago and elsewhere. Much has been written upon the alleged illegal and improper modes of business procedure connected with the packing industry; but it seems that so far no definite charge of any kind has been sustained and no proof of illegal or inequitable methods has been disclosed to the public. While a wave of severe criticism of this great industrial interest is now passing over the country it might be well to remember that the packers have had as yet no opportunity to make specific denial, the many indefinite charges of wrong-doing having never been formulated so that a categorical answer could be made. The recent report of Commissioner Garfield, which embodied the results of an official investigation undertaken by the Department of Commerce and Labor of the United States, was a vindication of the Western packers, but this result having been unexpected attempts in many quarters to discredit it were made. In view of the situation as it now stands, however, attention may properly be called to a few facts that owing to popular clamor are now being apparently overlooked. Fair treatment in this country has heretofore been accorded to all citizens whose affairs assume prominence in the public eye and some of the facts that bear upon the relation of the packers to the commerce of the country may at this time be briefly alluded to. It would be difficult to estimate the benefits gained by the farmers of the country resulting from the energetic enterprise of the packers, for whatever is of benefit to the farmer is a gain to the entire commerce of the country. And connected with their continuous aggressive work no feature perhaps has been more important than their efforts in seeking outlets all over the world for the surplus products of the farmer. Our total exports of agricultural products have gained but little in the past twenty years, and leaving out corn, the total of all other farm products was far less in 1903 than in 1801. But in packing house products there was considerable gain during this period, because an organized and powerful force has been behind them seeking new and broader markets. Besides the benefits reaped by farmers on account of the enterprise and energy exercised by the packers in attaining commercial results by foreign trade, the great development in the manufacture of packing house by-products has added enormously to the value of all live stock raised in the United States. The waste material of twenty years ago, then an expense to the packer, is now converted into articles of great value and, as an economic fact, this must correspondingly increase the value to the farmer of every head of cattle marketed at the numerous stock yards of the country. Let these facts be remembered while now it is so popular to regard the great packing industry as deserving of condemnation. At least it must be admitted that, so far, there is no adequate reason for the almost unanimous howl that may be heard everywhere in the face of the Garfield report above alluded to which practically exonerates the packers from the obscure and indefinite charges that have been for some time past made the subject of popular comment. A Japanese officer, Lieutenant I. Tutom, has been received into the Jewish congregation at Shanghai. India's cigarette trade has increased 90 per cent in four years. 'A great many people go on suffering from annoying alliments for a long time before they can get their own consent to give up the indulgence from which their trouble arises. 'A gentleman in Brooklyn describes his experience, as follows: "I became satisfied some months ago that I owed the palpitation of the heart, from which I suffered almost daily, to the use of coffee (I had been a coffee drinker for 20 years), but I found it very hard to give up the beverage. "I realized that I must give up the harmful indulgence in coffee, but I felt the necessity for a hot table drink, and as tea is not to my liking, I was at a loss for awhile, what to do. "One day I ran across a very sensible and straightforward presentation of the claims of Postum Food Coffee, and was so impressed thereby that I concluded to give it a trial. My experience with it was unsatisfactory till I learned how it ought to be prepared—by thorough boiling for not less than 15 or 20 minutes. After I learned that lesson there was no trouble. Postum Food Coffee proved to be a most palatable and satisfactory hot beverage, and I have used it ever since. "The effect on my health has been most salutary. It has completely cured the heart palpitation from which I used to suffer so much, particularly after breakfast, and I never have a return of it except when I dine or lunch away from home and am compelled to drink the old kind of coffee because Postum is not served. I find that Postum Food, Coffee cheers and invigorates while it produces no harmful 'stimulation.' Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason. Ten days' trial proves an eye opener to many. Read the little book, "The Road to Wellville," in every pkg. PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY, BY THE TRIBUNE PUBLISHING CO. 116 W. St. Julian Street. Gc.

TRULY, "a little learning is a dangerous thing." THE people of the state have their eyes on that class of colored men who are working so hard to down those in positions of honor. They are acting like the dog and ox. EDITOR FORTUNE of the New York Age is to be congratulated for the excellent appearance of his paper. The Age is easily among the leading journals of the country irrespective of race. BECAUSE a colored business man does not make the same show that a white man does in the same business. is no reason why he should not receive the support of his people. It is understood that a few North Georgia politicians are working the friends of Collector Rucker in favor of a white man in event that the former fails to land. This is another sharp trick of the politicians. We are glad to note that recently several of our young men have procured places of real estate and are planning improvements thereon. Such as this are telling blows for race progress. The example of these young men should be imitated by others. An invitation to the twenty-fourth anniversary exercises of Tuskegee Normal and Indus trial Institute, is acknowledged. It will be held commencing Sunday May 21st to the following Thursday. On this occasion there will be three speakers and Georgia will furnish two of them. THE Georgia boy will succeed wherever he goes. Glowing accounts can be given of many of them who take up abode elsewhere. We may add the phenominal success of Prof. W. R. Carter who went to Topeka, Kansas several years ago and inaugurated a small school Topay it is in a flourishing condition. To its tenth commencement, we here acknowledge an invitation. It commences tomorrow and continues to next Wednesday. College Dots. The College baseball team broke away even with both teams with which they have recently played, South Carolina College and Shaw University. Arrangements are now being made to play a series of games with the Atlanta University. Mr. Seth Low, ex-President of Columbia University and, Ex-Mayor of New York together with his wife and Mr. and Mrs. Wood of Savannah, visited the College last week. Mr. Low made an interesting address to the students, in which he urged them to be thoroughly proficient in whatever branch of industry they directed their efforts. President Wright . presented Mrs. Low a hammer made in the industrial department. The visitors expressed themselves as very much pleased with the work done in the various departments. Chancellor Hill visited the College this week and made a very impressive talk to the students. Hurrah for Booker Washington and commencement day, June 7th. The meeting of the alumni association last Wednesday was well attended and profitable. It will meet next Wednesday night at the home of Miss Florence A. Fields of Savannah. Glenwood Dots Last Sunday was regular preaching day at the A. M. E. church. Rev J. R. Thomas, pastor, delivered a soul stirring sermon at 11 a. m. Rev. J. J. Holsey of Ochwalkee, Ga., preached at 8:30 p. m subject, "He that endures to the end." He insisted on the christians to stay in the field till the war is ended. During the day two were added to the christian record. Mr. A. L. Mason made a fly- ing trip to Mt. Vernon, Ga., on Saturday evening last. Miss Alberta P. Mason has been elected representative to the Grand Court, of Calanthe which convenes in Savannah. July 12. Mrs. John Jackson, is on the sick list this week. We trust she will recover in the near future. The farmers are very glad to see this warm weather. Masonic Notes Just one more month and the Grand Lodge will be in session. Every Lodge must be represented in Americus, June 13th, with a complete report. The watchword is improvement along every line for good. All should hope for a harmonious and glorious communication, such as was held last year. The Grand Secretary is anxious to reach every Lodge in the Jurisdiction. Any Lodge that has failed to receive a return blank must write immediatley for one. Let us follow the lead of our able and faithful Grand Master, and do only those things that will redown to the great success of the craft. As Masons we should take no steps backwards, nor allow ourselves to remain passive; there should be a continuous going forward. The ladies of the O. E. S, are greatly interested in the success of Masonry. They should be encouraged by every brother. And inquiries are still coming in about new chapters. Last Monday evening Mt. Moriah Chapter No 37, O. E. S, celebrated its anniversary by a hop, which was largely attended and enjoyed by all. Refreshments were served in abundance The committee worked hard to make the affair a success. The Grand Lecturer was present. On account of the rain at the appointed time the joint session of the two chapters was deferred until Tuesday afternoon, at which time a goodly numbers of the ladies were present to listen to the instructive and interested lecture of the Royal Grand Lecturer, Mrs. Mary L. Walker of Macon. The information that site gave was well received and will cause the chapters to work along line that well prepared. After her lecture words of approval were spoken by several of the members. Mrs. Walker is an excellent lady and has given her position much study. The Grand Chapter made no mistake in her selection. Odd-Fellows Notes. On Sunday all of the Lodges of Odd-Fellows in the city will assemble at the -Harris street hall and march in a body to the F. A. B. church where the Thanksgiving exercises will be held. They will be joined by the Household of Ruth. The gathering is expected to be a large one. Led by the local lodges the all alleged suspension will be fought to the bitter end, even to the highest court of the land if necessary. Those who are connected with the local lodges and others in the state are too well versed in the laws of Odd-Fellowship to allow the order to be brought into disrepute by those whose greed for office and emolument exceed their love of principle. Each Lodge-that is alleged to be suspended must elect a delegate and have him present at Columbus. The "big mogul" who is doing more to disrupt Odd Fellowship in Georgia than any other agency. Ben Davis, has again been indicted for tampering with the Revenue laws. He was indicted in Atlanta last year and in Athens last week. We are not gloating over this news note, but desire to let the brothers of the link know just the kind of man that is running the Lodges. In an institution of the opposite race, such a mnn would have been hurled out of office before the ink was dried on his indictment. Odd-Fellowship discountances wrong doing. Please allow me space in your columns for a few remarks. Sometime since a committee of the several Lodges of this city, published a document prepared by Hon. Jas. Burns, attorney, Biloxi, Miss., showing the illegality of the endowment laws. They also showed the position of the lodges against the present plan that is in force in this state and they have the support of many of the lodges in the jurisdiction. This is a fact that seems not to be recognized by the supporters of the existing endowment laws. They know nothing save that the Savannah lodges consist of stiffnecked, rebellious brethren, just because they do not see fit to support the Executive board in its action. It is said that five of the seven lodges of this city have betrayed the trust and had been doing more to destroy the order than any of the lodges in the state, but they have failed utterly. This statement is false, and only a matter of conjecture; as there have been no steps taken by these lodges that have or would insure a defeat or failure. We are told that every lodge that is behind for any cause will be in the some fix as the Savannah lodges and shall not have a voice in the Grand Lodge. We would advise all the lodges that have not paid or that is behind in the Bureau of Endowment, to make up its annual report, and send same with the annual or per capita tax on time to the D. G. S. Elect your delegate to the district Grand Lodge, and report his name to D. G. S. and when the time for the G. L. session arrives send him to Columbus, Ga., prepared to do business. Let not one of the suspended (?) lodges falter in this matter. It is being published in the Atlanta Independent, that the charters of the lodges in rebellion would be arrested between now and the D. G. L. meeting. in August. It is almost needless for me to tell you not to surrender your charter to any one, but stand firm in the position you have taken, and abide your time when you shall have a hearing. We are convinced more than ever that we are right; but as its saiddy those who are running affairs that we will not be allowed recourse in the Grand Lodge, we have sought advice of counsel in this matter and assure you that legal steps will be taken to preserve the rights of membership and representation in the District Grand Lodge No 18 of Ga., not only for the Savannah Lodges but every Lodge that has been placed on the suspension list for not complying with the Bureau of Endowment Laws. K. of P. Pointers. The entertaining committee wants each Lodge in the State to forward the names of delegates immediately so that homes can be secured for them. This alludes to the Courts as well. It was the concentual of opinion of all who attended the session at Albany that Grand Chancellor Creswill, would not again aspire for re-election. It was stated at that session that all he wanted was vindication. The boys vindicated him. He has had the position five years and that is long enough for one man, especially when there are so many other able men in the state. Georgia is against the Sanitarium tax and needs a strong man in the Supreme Lodge to combat its enforcement. The cause of the enormous prosperity of the Grand Lodge is on account of the double endowment law enacted in Brunswick.several years,ago. Backed up by the able administration of Sir Cohen.. To him more than any one else is the credit to be given for the good condition of the Order in the State. The Meddler in our last issue, has set many to think. He gave facts that stung. The opinion of the Meddler is shared by hundreds of loyal Sir Knights in the state. The local lodges of Knights of Pythias are planning to erect a commodious Castle Hall in the near future; Each lodge has appointed a committee to confer about the same. This committee is requested to meet next Tuesday night at the Wage Earners Bank at 8:30 o'clock. Depaise the bad weather, the Knights of Pythias pionic at Lincoln Park was a grand success and the committee thank their friends for their patronage. Chairman Armstrong requests each member of the committee to meet on Friday night May 19 at 519 West Bolton St., at 8 o'clock. A full attendance is expected. Statesboro Dots. Rev.

Unprovoked Assault Several weeks ago it was announced in the morning paper that the Superintendent of the Scavenger department of the city, John J Garity, shot at and struck with a billy, one of the workman of that department, Mr. Sam James. While the shot did not take effect, yet the blow in the head was a painful one and the injured man bled profusely. If he had not sought safety in flight no doubt he would have been a dead man to-day. Notwithstanding this serious affair and the attempt that was made on this man's life, the offender was not arrested and the matter would have been dropped altogether if it was not for the humane feeling and love of law and order of a member of the present grand jury. It was brought to the attention of the grand jury last week and the offender was imm distely indicted for assault and attempt to murder. He is now under bond pending trial according to the indictment. Mr. James called at our office this week and informed us that he has been working in the scavenger department for several years. He was there under the administration of Supts. Magnire and Dresson and has had no trouble until recently. He also said that the cause of the assault upon him was about his failure to pay accrued and exorbitant interest upon money that was borrowed from the superintendent. He further stated that many of the employers borrow from the superintendent and that he was charged fifteen per cent. on the dollar, and that those who borrowed had no trouble in getting along. It is alleged that so exorbitant was the rate of interest and it had accrued to such an amount that at least two men were compelled to forfeit their position. If what Mr. James said is true, it does not reflect favorably on the administration. Men who are in positions of public trust should be above such as is alleged in this case. While the case of assault and attempt to kill will come up before the court, yet the mayor should investigate the other charge and if the superintendent is guilty he should not be allowed to continue in his position. Mr. James is a law abiding citizen, a tax payer and property owner. All who know him speak of him as a hard working honest man. Such citizens should be protected. Loyalty to Alma Mater. The graduates and under graduates of the Atlanta University have succeeded in raising and forwarded to the institution a check for $50.50 Prof. G. A Towns has forwarded letters thanking each for his donation. Church Improvement. The members of Ezra Presbyterian church under the lead of Rev. S. T. Redd, are planning to purchase a lot in a more desirable locality and erect there a commodious church. The plan for the raising of the funds has been approved by the Independent Presbyterian church and Mr. R. M. Butler has consented to act as treasurer of the fund. The citizens will be appealed to to help this worthy institution. Second Baptist Church Services at the Second Baptist church were indeed well attended last Sunday. Rev Smith delivered an interesting discourse at 11 o'clock subject, the "Devil." At 8 o'clock considering the weather the attendance was large and the collections for the day were satisfactory. Rev Smith continues to make new friends and the large attendance is indeed encouraging to the officers. Communion services at 4 o'clock Sunday and all the members are requited to be present.

" ato: OHN THOMAS, the sole f my survivor of General Cus- 3 J © ter’s expedition up Ble A_© _{ Horn, which was complete Ss Oe ee ee _‘ssore” ly annihilated by the In dians, is a resident of Minnenpolis He is fifty-eight years old and lives a 2001 Aldrich avenue, Atter reading a dispatch in the Tri Dune stating that William Mckee, o > that elty, claimed the honor of being the last white survivor of the inassa ere, Mr, Thomas talked interestingls of the-events leading up to the massa. ere ahd those which followed. “I know McKee well,” said Mr, Thomas. “He was not a member of General Custer’s expedition, but was in General Reno's detachment. ‘There avas but one person who escaped alive, and that was an Indian by the name of -{Curles,’ who is now with the Buffalo Bilt show. While 1 was in the expedt- tion under command of General Custer I was not in the massacre. It was only by accident, however, that I was not. When a young man I joined the Indian Tighter, under command of General ‘Terry. “My duty was that of a saddler. I cared for all of tife harness, saddles, and sometimes made myself handy as ashoemaker. With the other warriors I was supplied with a horse. About a week before the massacre the éntire expedition was camped on Tongue River. General Terry decided that the forces were to be divided, and G06 men were placed under command of General Reno, General Gibbs, of Mon- tana, was in command of a much smaller detachment, ’ “E was placed under General Custer, and everything was in readiness for the party to start when General Cus- ter came to me gnd sald: “John, who is using this horse? “L replied that I intended to use the horse, to which be sald that he wanted the horse for a Chicago newspaper re- Porter, I insisted on using the horse, when the General declared that he iwould consider his men a poor lot if ‘they would not know enough to take care of their own saddles and harness for five or six days. These were the last words he spoke to me. I gave up the horse to the reporter and was sent to the boat under one of the captains ‘of General Gibbs’ army of scouts. “The reporter did not return, neither id any of the men under General Cus- ter. All were Killed in the massacre, and with the exception of the news- Paper man and General Custer the men were all scalped. The Indians had great love for General Custer, and for that reason it fs believed that they did not scalp him. As for the reporter, ‘they found the papers on his body, and were elvilized enough to know that he ‘was not thelr enemy, but was a ‘cour- Jer of news. . “Tue Fall West (the name of the boat) made its way up Big Horn and then up the Little Big Harn until the water became so shallow that it was Uangerous to attempt to go further. ‘The boat was run onto a sand bar, and awe catped there for several days. We had nothing to eat but dry bread and meat, and all of the men were growing hungry. Before the captain was up one morning I took down my gun and started out for a hunt. I had just shot three elk when I heard two re- ports from guns in different directions. I made my way back to the béat, and the men ‘were almost panic-stricken. he news of the massacre hed been received trom some of General Reno's men. Z “I would have been in the massacre had it not been for General Custer tak- ing my horse and giviug it to the re- porter, After the massacre I was un- der General Gibbs. General Aflles nas then assigned to succeed General Merry. While I was out hunting one Hay I met General Miles en route to Gerry's camp; he was lost and I di- rected him. We afterward became well acquainted. Almost the first Rrords spoken to me by General Miles after we were en route to Terry’s camp wvas to request me to ix his boots. He said, ‘My great toe is sticking out of my boots. Oan you fix it? Sew it up sith any kind of leather; I.am not par- ticular’ I fixed the General's boots prith rea calf leather. “There is one remarkable occurrence twhich happened that I shell always re- member. One of the Indtans was shot Gfteen times and all of the bullets re- mained in bis body. Five days after the massacre he jumped upon the back of a horse, and with the fifteen bullets in his body rode to his home, a distance of 200 miles.”—Minneapolls Tribune. tj CAUGHT IN THE ICE. * he fur trader sat on the steamer wharf at Quebec, leaning back on a packing Dox. For a moment he looked down at the fist sheet of ice that had skimmed the broad St. Lawrence, then he said, “That ice there is about as thick as It was the time I got caught on my first trip north into the barrens. “Another fellow by the name of An- @rew Damson and myself had been trading with Indians in British Colum- bia. We broke camp at the end of the season, and started to the nearest set- tlement, which was ten miles south of us, with a big lake lying between, We found the ice had all gone out, and we couldn't cross on sledges, as we did qwhen we came up. To go round the Jake meant a mean journey on account of the marshes. As our provisions were used up and we had already sent our Pelts out, there didn't seem to be any Teason why we shouldn't paddte the _ 6ix alles across, Our outfit was Hght, and ‘we figured we could reach the other side before dark, “Three or four Indians, who were coming in with skins, saw us as We were. setting out-and yelled something to us about the ice, Later on I wished T’'d Ustened to them. “We got along well till about the middle of the afternoon, when the wind whirled around into the north, and it got cold within ten minutes. It began to snow, too, first in little spits and then thicker.and thicker, until we conidn’t see a canoe’s length aheadof us. “There was only one thing to do, and that was to spread out the blankets into a Kind of awning and curi up to ‘sleep and wait for the morning, when we could see our way, y “Damson woke me at daylight, and I looked out. The fall of snow had been light, We were about 100 yards from the shore, and I could see that the storm had blown over quiékly. But on every aide the Inke was cov- ered with ice, not thick enough to hold. a man and not thin enough for a boat to‘push through. “‘Damson, sald I, looking sober, ‘we'd’ be in a bad way if this ice shouldn’t get strong enough to walk on, or else melt enough so we could paddle. There {sn’t anything left but a half a can of beans, and this canoe is leaking” “The hours went by. We ate nearly, all our provisions, and slept over the next night pretty anxious and cold and hungry, and trying to keep out of the water. that was gradually rising in the canoe. The next morning the fce was still too strong to break through, and yet it was too weak to hold us. “Then Andy hit upon a plan. He first tore out two of the braces that ran from side to side of the canoe. “ “what are you going to do? says I. “‘I'm going to duild ‘an ice raft, says he, and he lashed the braces across the end of the paddles. ‘Then he tore pleces of the birch bark out of the sides of the canoe, fastened them across between the paddles and finally had a patchwork raft nearly six feet long and four feet broad. ‘There,’ saitl he, ‘that’ will spread your welght over a bigger area of ice, and you can lie down on it and push with your toes, You go first. It wilt hold you all right, but it won't hold both of us.’ . “ ‘Bow shall I send the raft back to you?’ said 1, “I've already thought of that? sald he, “Take this ball of cord we used for tylng up the skins, Dll the this on the raft here. If anything happens to you I may be able to, pull you ont, and if you get there all right I can haul the raft back’ “Then he pulled the raft back to the canoe, and for 2 moment I couldn’t see What he was doing with the cord. But all of a sudden he stood up and threw something toward me. It fell about half way between us, but glanced and slid along the {ce almost to my feet. It was his heavy hunting knife arith the cord tied on to it, “ ‘Haul away!’ said he, when he had spread himself out on the raft. ‘Easy! easy!’ and at last I managed to pull him to shore. I never felt anything betfer than the solld ground under my feet. If it hadn't been Yor Andy’s inge- nulty it would have been starvation, drowning or freezing for both of us.” PAINTED ON A RAITMROAD. Mabel A. Sheets, aged thirteen years, of Moran, Ind., was en-route to school one morning not long ago when her friend, Lizele Disinger, caught up to hee. Js they proceoded on thelr way ‘Miss Disinger became ill atid fainted, but soon afterward revived. Mabel took her arm and assisted her across a long tailroad bridge, and they had just gotten across when Miss Disinger again fainted. She fell directly upon the raflroad track and was unable to rise. Mabel knew that the morning passenger train was then due, and that her companion must be gotten off from the tracks nt once or she would be run aver. Lizzie Disinger is fifteen years pld and large pf her age, while Afabel is not only two years younger, but is small for her age. She did her best to remove Lizzie from the tracks, but was unable to do go. The depot was thirty rods away, and that was the nearest point from which help could he summoned. Accordingly Mabel ran with all her might until she reached the station and secured help. Return- ing they rescued Lizefe Just in time. It was not long before the fast passen- ger train came rapidly down upon them. Miss-Disinger’s fingers were frozen'to the first joints, but her life was saved. . A PLUCKY RESCUE. Down near the city plers in Cleve- Jand peveral boys sat fishing some time ago, when suddenly Herman Mosko- witz, of the same city, happened by, and, missing his footing, slipped into tho ‘water at e point where the depth is nearly twenty feet. Moskowitz struggled in the avater and was unable to help himself. Among those who had been fishing was Charlie Fife, the son of Patrolman K. Fife. He was but twelve years old, several years young- er than the Ind who -was struggling in the water and also smaller in size, However, seeing that the Moskowitz boy was likely to drown he plunged into the water without removing any of his clothing, and caught the drown- ing boy Just as he was going down‘ for the third time. Herman Moskowitz held to Charlie, and soon both were under the water. Charlle fsa very good swimmer and presently was to be seen bringing Hernan safely to shore. ‘When he reached the pler he rested for 2 mothent, but all the time held Her- man’s head above the water, Finally he succeeded in getting him up on ta the pier. ‘The rescued lad was uncon- sclous, but, after he had been patted on the back and rolted gver by Charlie, he,finally came to.

They Were dressed in pretty, blue frocks, made just alike, and their cutis were tied with ribbons to match. ‘The twins Yooked exactly I1ké each other, except that Mirlam’s eyes were brown, and Mirabel's were blue. Mother Marion never forgot which had blue and which had brown eyes, if other people did. , ‘They were three years old to-day and were going to have a party. Six little guests had been invited for the after- noon, and at 3 o'clock they arrived with their méthers. . ‘The guests brought sokie pretty pres- ents for the twins. Everything was in couples. There were two red sashes, two pair of bronze boots, two pair of blue silk mittens, two dear little fans and two beautiful crystal bead chains that sparkled like diamonds. But the strangest thing about the party was that the twins and thelr small guests sat perfectly still in their chairs, while thelr mothers played games for an hour or two. Not one of the party children fretted or cried dur- ing all that time, Not one, in fact, spoke a word. ’ ‘Tea was,served in the nursery, and Mirabel gat at one end of the table, and Miriam at the other end, with three guests on each side. ‘The seven mothers waited on them, The table looked very pretty indeed. The birthday cake was a twin loaf, two cakes joined together. One bore the name of Mirabel and the other of Mirlam, written with pink Seing over white, and there were three tiny pink ‘candles on the top of each. There were dishes of candied cherrles and Uttle rolls no bigger than sllver quar- ters, and cocoanut kisses of the size of dimes, Tiny currant-Jelly tarts were piled in.one pretty plate, while at each ‘end of the table was a pile of popcorn balls. ‘Then thero was ice cream, too, pink, chocolate and white, cut into tiny mounds with a thimble.

STHE GREEDY CORMORANT. <When I was a keeper in the National Zoological Park in Washington I ob- served a remarkable examplo of the jwellknown greediness of the cor- morant: Four little cormorants came to the Zoo, and were placed in a cage in which dogs had once been Kept. Out- side was a pebbly yard in which the dogs had exercised. The cormorants awaddled about this yard and seemed to bo having a fine time, until ‘one “morning I noticed that one of them was sitting on the ground unable to WHO GAVE HER THE PRESENT? | ea Fee 2 Aw NEE? i a ee ° ee wx Gitta mush expectes axe pala, uot given, . kj dew: < -aneapene cs _. eadee Sadi sks tise, He dU not waddle up to get his meal of whole fish, each usually about half as long as his whole body; and as ‘the others came rushing toward me to ‘get thelr share, I knew that he was il. I went into the cage and lifted him up.. What was my amazement to hear something grating apd clinking inside of him! And he seemed sorpristagly heavy. I at once called the head keeper, who decided to investigate by ‘means of a surgical operation. . He took out two pounds of stones, one of which was four inches long, twa and a half inches wide and about halt an inch thick! The poor chap seemed to feel relleved. In a few days he be came convalescent, ate his food regu- larly, and semeed to be doing well. ‘Then that hooked bill reiched under the feathers and tore out some of the surgeon's stitches, which were un doubtedly irritating, as the wound was ‘beginning to heal. As the result of this interference, the wound opened, and, as the weather was hot, the pa- tient died five days after the opera tion.—St. Nicholas. TO LIFT AN ANCHOR. An“anchor left in the mud all win- ter is no easy thing to lift, By plac- ing two boats side by side, as shown In the picture, and throwing a pole across both of them, a very great weight may be lifted. ‘The suction of the mud causes most of the trouble, but this arrangement will enable you to lft the anchor with comparative ease. In salt water, where there is a tide, place the boats in position at the be- ginning of flood tide, Fasten the an- chor rope to the pole, pulling it taut to do so, As the tide rises ‘the anchor is bound to come. Don't,forget, elther, that: the whole outfit will float off at high tide unless,it is properly secured.

It is claimed that the first fag raised on a schoolhouse was holsted in Cole- rain, Franklin County, Mass., in May, 1812, the Indianapolis News states. Last May the citizens of the town placed a stone slab on the site of the old schoolhouse, and on the Fourth of July it was unvelled with appropriate ceremonies. The flag raised in 1812 was made by Mr. and Mra, Anasa Shippe, Mrs. Alden Willis and Mrs. Steven Hale, from material spun and woven in the different homes of the neighborhood. * 3 The running time of the electric street tars on lines owned by London must not exceed ten miles.

It was awkward, moving in those ridiculous slippers, but she got to the table without mishap. “Allow me to help you,” she said, with a smile. . He surrendered the knife witl alac- rity. “Pm no hand at that sort o’ thing!" in disgust. George had never felt the want of a wife until'that moment, until he saw Rose preside at his table; then his heart was filled with passionate long- ing. ‘They sat down to breakfast for all the world like man and wife.

In slippers everything Is beaded, or trimmed with great rosettes of chiffon or net, with a tiny rhinestone buckle or button in the centre. In strapped slippers a new idea has come out—a slipper which fs cut to give a double strap effect, without the trouble of buttoning those little straps. ‘Two eye- lets are in the sides, of these straps, presumably part of the design, but, too, mighty conventent to slip a bit of ribbon through to draw the straps a little tighter. . * Bronze slippers are popular, and tan shoes (though they’re a far ‘ery from evening slippers) will be strong again in all the soft shades Russia leather takes. , But black patent leather fs worn more than any other one leather, and white shoes more than any other color, with “slippers to match” for the rest, and the prettiest of all is a French Invention—pale blue or pink satin affairs, embtoidered and beaded, not only 6n thé vamp, but with a lttle vine that rmis all the way around the slipper. An engraved patent leather slipper is a novelty that is stunning in the quiet- est“of ways. The design is made by cntling part way through the enamel. But klippers! The slipper world seems to have run riot over all shoes, so long as that one most important point is satisfied, that the.colors match. And to this end are astonishing things made, violet atid green and orange, and all the impossible tints of a very definite rafbtow. _ ABOUT CHILDREN. > Ten commandments for parents: Virst—Be gently firm with the baby. Obeitience should commence in the eradle. Sccond—Insist upon obedience in all things and at all times. 7 ‘Third—Instill the necessity of truth- fnlness as soon as yeur child learns to talk. Fourth—By esample and illustration teach self-control. Fifth—Remember that children have privileges as much so as you—Indeed, nore, for they are helpless and entirely under your authority; therefore sacred. Jy respect their opinions and feelings. | Sixth—Never be too busy to talk, en- ‘couraze questions, seek and give con- fidénee. a Seventh—Furnish a place for every- thing, and ‘require everything to be kept in fts place. Eighth—Demand cleanliness in_per- son, behavior and clothing—not spas- modically, but from the cradle up. If neglected, sce it done. Touch the chitd’s personal and family‘pride, Put him on honor. Ninth—Never allow’ your child to “answer back” ‘until he is ld enough to reason. then xreason intelligently and gently. It is Its due. enth—If you promise your child punishment De as good as yout word. Fall to keep your word once and he ‘will never trust you again. But never punish him in a passion; you disgrace yourself and break his spirit, also in- jure his body. To whip or otherwise punish him while you are in a passion fs bruta? auid it brutalizes him, too.

The picturesque curls and Aufiiness admired by Western women would not for a monient be tolerated by her, and her abundant tresses can- not be too smooth and too stiff for the flaborate designs into whieh they are formed. 3 |, it is only while they are young that Japanese women bave a wealth of hair Tmuch of it disappears when they ate about thirty, and as old age treeps on their attire beromes severely simple: ‘There 1$ nd pretense about delnk Younger than they are—that ts an idea which would strike them as decidedly foolish—and so Uttle do they mind the World Knowing tleir ages, that the arrangement of hair shows the diiter: ent stages they have teached in life's Journey, Fot Small occasions, ornaments of various kinds are worn in the hairplis of Ivory, tortolse shell and gold, and Some of them bright red and some mgulded lke flowers, ‘This elaborate hairdressing ts not the waste of time that one might imagine, for it 1S al- lowed to’ remain undisturbed for sev- eral days and keeps quite neat, for the wooden block which is used instead of a pillow at night in no way inter- feres with it.

You sometimes sce a woman whose old age Is as exquisite as the pérfect bloom of ber youth. You wonder how it is her life has been a long and happy one. Here are some of the reasons: She knew how to forget disagreeable things. She kept her nerves well in hand and {nficted them on no one. She mastered the art of saying pleasant things. She did not expect too much from her friends. She made whatever work came to her congenial. A theory bas recently.been advanced that every woman should have a black dress in her wardrobe to put on when she Is tired or discouraged, and that the wearing of color at such a timo not only adds to the general depres- sion, but accentutes the tired lines that have crept into the face. ‘A bint to umbrella buyers. Trade Papers say that ivory has become so searce that manufacturers are exerting their ingenuity to find substitutes for it. Few umbrella handles can be ivory, and the usual substitute is walrus teeth or cellulold. The walrus teeth may be detected by,2 streak of yellow whicb invarlably runs through them, and {t is usually noticeable in an um- brella handle. a ey OY of \ FANCIES ‘ So FD = ‘The very fine sprig, spray or garland hand embroideries appear to have the preference in the earliest French mode els, but there are, too, some of the bold, raised embroideries on sheer stuffs, and these heavy embroideries appear again upon the linen blouses. Certain exquisite little French blouses in finest batiste or lawn are very sim- ply made, with tiny hand tucks as the only trimming save for lace edging ‘at throat and wrists and, embrofdered just in the middle front of the bust line, a bunch of fine flowers and foll- age. Surplice front lines have invaded the realm of blouses as well as the other provinces of fashion, and as they are Universally becoming and easily fitted and made, their popularity is assured. Little details such as the arrange- ment of a cravat or girdle will often give distinction and originality to an otherwise unimportant blouse. Many charming waists are shown by Importers, suitable for theatres or res- taurant dinners. These ‘are usually white, and with few exceptions are dis- tressingly elaborate, A combination of white loulsine and thin white lace makes a lovely waist. ‘There are certain little details of mourning garb which should not be overlooked. The dress linings should be of rustless silk.

His peculiar talents soon attracted gen- eral attention, and his father found it more profitable to travel about the country and exbibit his son as the “calculating phenomenon” than by fol- lowing his humble trade. The boy was taken to London and his ‘pecullar tal- ents were investigated by the most Iearned inen of ls time; whom he as- tonished by tlie rapidity qwith which Le answered the most difficult ques- tions. ‘The following question was solved by him in forty seconds: “Suppose the ball at the top of St. Payl's Cathedral to be six fect iu diameter, what did the gilding cost at 3%4d per square inch?” ‘The answer, £237 10s 1d, was given be- fore the examiner had the to put the figures of the exdmple on paper. The following question was answered in sixty seconds: Suppose a city to be illuminated with 9999 lamps, each lamp to consume one pint of oil every four hours In succession, how many gallons would they consume in forty xears?” The answer contains .nine “figures— 109,489,050 gallons. Another curious question was: “Suppose the earth to consist of 071,000,000 inhabitants, and suppose they die in thirty years four months, how many bave returned to dust since the time of Adam, comput-. ing {t to be 2850 years?” ‘This problem offcred no diffeulties to the lad, who nonchalantly rattled off the answer in| less than thirty" seconds. "Fortunately for the boy, he attracted ghe attention of some eminent scholars, who had him educated at Camberwell, and afterward at Edinburgh, where he carried off all the prizes for the study of higher math- ematics. .ifter his graduation from college he pursued the profession of engineer and became associated with Robert Stephenson, and assisted in con- structing the Birmingham Railway. Later in Ife he entered Parliament, and many stories are told of Bidder's wonderful skill In detecting a flaw in some set of elaborate calculations. He dled at Dartmouth in 1878. Another extraordinary child was Zerah Colburn, who was born at Cabot, Vt, In 1804. His remarkable senlus for abstruse mathematical prob- lems was displayed at an early age. and when he was eight years old he solved the most difficult problems by tho mere operation of his mind. Asked by an eminent mathematician to give the square of 999,999, he replied almost instantly, giving the figures, 999,998, 000,001, without any hesitation. He ob- served that he produced the result by multiplying the square of 37,037 by the square of 27. He was then asked to multiply answer twice by 49, and once by 25, 2 task which he accomplished in Jess than two minutes, although the answer consisted of seventeen figures. In fivd seconds he gare the cube root of 413,933,318,077, and to all questions of similar nature he succeeded in giving the. correct answers. Professors and scientific men endeavored to obtain a knowledge of Colburn's methods, but the boy declared he was unable to ex- plain how the answers came into his mind. He was ignorant of the com- monest rules of arithmetic, and could not even solve ‘a problem on paper, not even a simple.feat in multiplication or division. Colburn’s faculty of com- putation Jeft him when he reached manhood, and le died at the early age pf thirty-six. . 7 A singular instance of this curious development of the calculating faculty and differing in several respects from s freely while working out his problers. Buxton died in 1772. Many other examplesof these. “freaks of nature” are known, and among them may be mentioned a negro of Mary- land, who, with no education what- evet, possessed a wonderful’ gitt-for solving difficult mathematical _prob- lems, With the exception of Bidder, few of these geniuses have amounted to anything, and as time went on they elther lost thelr marvelous power or ied before they could make it serve some useful purpose. Young Hunter, of Indlanapolis, may be an exception, but the. chances are that in ten or fifteen years bis mysterious gitt*will teave him—World’s Events.

Zrelaud’s Great Orator. To read Mr. Healy's speech of the same day is to get but the ghost of a notion of Mr. Healy's really wonderful gifts of oratory, He is to-day the most brilliant speaker in the House of Com- mons. He has not Mr. Redmond’s grace and polish: he ns nothing, in Geed, in the nature of elther. But his attack is cruelly effective; he never spares either his nominal opponents.op- posite or his real ones sitting around him, He is the only sardonic speaker in the House. There is 2 grimness, a constant ring of challenge’ that is re- pellent or attractive as you are the object of his uncharitable attention or merely the delighted detached obserger. ~London Saturday Review. sl ‘- wWaneen Ban Bitte Zouk: John M.
