VOL. XX. GRAY VETS GATHER Battle-Scarred Heroes Meet in Reunion at Louisville. CROWD RECORD-BREAKER Old-Time Rebel Yell Once More Awakens the Echoes—Llee, Wheeled Business For the second time in five years the United Confederate Veterans and auxiliary organizations gathered in Louisville for their fifteenth annual reunion. Decorations of the city was on the most lavish scale; the American flag predominating. The reunion was officially opened shortly after the noon hour, when General Bennett H. Young, commander of the Kentucky division, called the perspiring mass of humanity in the horse show building to order and introduced the chaplain general, J. William Jones of Richmond, Va. Dr. Jones, in his innovation, prayed that the blessing of Almighty God may rest upon the president of the United States, and "that he may be enabled to be the president of this whole country and every section." A few moments later Governor J. C. W. Beckham, in speaking Kentucky's welcome to the old men in gray, said: "It is fitting that you should meet here, on the borderland of the great struggle, where we were so torn asunder. The great contest has been settled for all time. Peace has her victories as well as war. "It is now gratifying to us all that there is but one flag. In tender memory we have laid away the stars and bars, and we rejoice that we have the same flag that floated over us before the war." A rousing reception was given the commander-in-chief, General Stephen D. Lee, when he arose to respond for the veterans to the addresses of welcome. His speech was interrupted many times by cheering. Cheers were given the few remaining great figures of the confederacy as they made their appearance. The venerable Simon Bolivar Buckner, who is approaching his eighteenth year, was heartily greeted and delivered a speech, welcoming his comrades to the state of Kentucky, which would have done credit to a man of half his years. Lieutenant General W. L. Cabell, commander of the trans-Mississippi division, was helped to the platform by many willing hands, and his appearance was the signal for a prolonged outburst of hand-clapping. The reception accorded General Joe Wheeler was second to none of the day. The famous cavalry officer was cheered from the time his gray-topped head was discerned in the great throng until he ascended the rostrum and motioned for silence. He thanked the veterans for the heartiness of their reception and assured them that their greeting went deep into his heart. RUSSIA GOING TO RUIN. M. Witte Gives Out Remarkable and Sensational Interview. The Slove, St. Petersburg, publish es a remarkably sensational intervie- filled with the gloomiest forebodings with M. Wilte, president of the committee of ministers. The Russian statesman's name is not mentioned, but the veil of his identity can be easily pierced. He evidently spoke with the profound conviction that the affairs of state are going from bad to worse, stating that Russia could prolong the war for five years in the hope of coming out victorious, were it not for the events in the interior, to which they are closing their eyes and stopping their ears and trying to know, nothing about. Here lies the horror of the present situation. Every hour of delay is fraught with danger. Down, down, lower and lower—step by step." JAPS SCARE KAISER BILL. Germany's Chinese Concession at Kiao-Chou to Be Fortified. The German government has ordered that Kiao-Chou, which Germany holds under concession from China, be strongly fortified. In some quarters this is taken to mean that Germany fears the ultimate designs of Japan. This announcement has aroused considerable interest in Washington, and in diplomatic circles has led to speculation about Germany's intentions. The Savannah Tribune. GAS AND WATER. Citizens of Large Cities Say It Is. New York, June 13.—In the recent agitation here about the price of gas, the demand for lower rates was supported by the argument that every resident is as dependent upon a supply of gas as upon a supply of good water. It has come to pass that the day laborer uses gas as his only fuel for cooking, because of economy, and the rich man uses gas on account of its convenience. Gas for lighting, with modern improvements in burners, is cheaper, better and more satisfactory than any other kind of light. Gas sells at $1.00 per thousand cubic feet in large cities, and from that to as high as $3.00 in smaller towns. The consumer of gas in the country uses Acetylene (pronounced a-set-alene), and each user makes his own gas and is independent of Gas and Electric Companies. Acetylene is a more perfect illuminant than the gas sold by the big gas companies in the cities, and the cost to the smallest user is about the equivalent of city gas at S5 cents per thousand. Acetylene is the modern artificial light, the latest addition to the many inventions that have become daily necessities. The light from an acetylene flame is soft, steady and brilliant, and in quality is only rivaled by the sun's rays. If water and a solid material known as Calcium Carbide are brought into contact, the immediate result is the making of this wonderful gas. The generation of acetylene is so simple that experience or even apparatus is not necessary to make it. If it is desired to make it for practical lighting, and to keep it for immediate use, then a small machine called an "Acetylene Generator" is employed. There are many responsible concerns making acetylene generators. In practice this gas is distributed in small pipes throughout buildings, grounds or entire cities and towns in the same manner as ordinary city gas. Acetylene is the only satisfactory means of lighting isolated buildings located in the country or suburbs at a distance from city gas or electric plants. TRUST AGENT IN CONTEMPT. Secretary of American Tobacco Company Refused to Answer Questions. William McAllister, secretary of the American Tobacco company, was adjudged guilty of contempt in the United States circuit court at New York Wednesday for having refused to answer questions before the federal grand jury. In connection with the investigation of the socalled tobacco trust. WAR PROCEEDS IN MANCHURIA. Peace Negotiations Doesn't Stop Advance of Oyama. Advices from Gunshu Pass, Manchuria, under date of June 14, state that the Japanese have forced the advance posts of the Russian left beyond the Kaochou river and are occupying the heights 'north of the river. A heavy force seems to be behind this movement. Field Marshal Orama is ready for a general offensive. All Schools and Churches Closed at Grand Rapids, Mich. By order of the board of health, all schools and churches at Grand Rapids have been closed on account of the alarming spread of smallpox, which has taken on the nature of a dangerous epidemic. Figures given out by the board of health show that 10 are seventy-five cases MONT PELEE BECOMES RESTIVE. Eruption That Took 40,000 Lives in 1902 May Come Again. For the past few days Mont Pelec—on the Island of Martinique—has manifested activity, and, while stronger than of the month of April of the present year, does not seem to be of an alarming nature. Some dense clouds of smoke have been discharged from the volcano and have slowly fallen over the White river valley, disappearing at the sea coast. SHIPS THEORETICALLY DONE UP. Furious Blank Fire of Forts Too Much for Maneuvering Squadron. A Baltimore dispatch says: Admiral Dlokins did the unexpected thing by making an early morning attack on Fort Howard and the other local fortifications and the battleship Texas, a cruiser and three torpedo destroyers were theoretically blown out of the water by the artillerymen stationed at Fort Howard. SAVANNAH. GA. SATURDAY. JUNE 17. 1905. BOYCOTT A MENACE Exporters Appeal to Roosevelt to Pacify China. HEAVY LOSS THREATENED Ohlppers Ask Modification of Exclusion Laws as Only Means of Satisfactorily Adjusting the Matter. President Roosevelt held a conference at the white house Monday with about thirty members of the American Aslatic Association representing the cotton textile industry, and the iron and steel trade of the United States. The delegation entered a formal protest against such an enforcement of the Chinese exclusion laws, as might imperil the export trade of this country with China. It was pointed out that the commercial organizations of China were threatening to boycott American made goods, especially cotton and steel products, unless arrangements were made whereby Chinese merchants, students, literary men and travelers could enter the United States without the serious difficulty which they now encounter. The Chinese urge that members of the classes which, under our exclusion laws, are permitted to enter the United States, are often subjected to inconvenience and humiliation by the immigration officials and ask for more rational treatment of the exempted classes of their countrymen. The delegation was headed by John Ford of New York, secretary of the American Asiatic Association, who made an address, in which he said: "Mr. President: The American Astatic Association is an organization formed to co-operate with this government in maintaining and defending the trade and treaty rights of the United States in the countries of Eastern Asia. Individually the members of this delegation speak for the cotton textile industry of the United States, representing $500,000,000 of invested capital and 350,000 wage, earners, whose prosperity and welfare are today absolutely dependent on the retention of the market for the products of that industry which have been opened in China; they speak for at least one department of the still greater iron and steel industry of the United States; they speak for a branch of our export trade which is growing more rapidly than any other a. whose value in the current fiscal year will probably exceed fifty million dollars. "The occasion of this visit is to invite your attention to the present unsatisfactory character of our relations with the Chinese empire and the conditions growing out of those which directly threaten the continuance of a profitable and highly essential part of our commerce. The friendly character of these relations has been of late adversely affected by the absence of a satisfactory immigration treaty between the United States and China and by the dissatisfaction of the mercantile class in China with what they conceive to be the unjust and oppressive operation of the rules adopted and enforced by the immigration officers of the United States in dealing with those of their countrymen whom our laws declare entitled to visit his country." DATE OF PAYMENT CHANGED. Secretary Shaw Issues Notice to National Banks. The secretary of the treasury Monday announced that the payment of the second installment of the public deposits called from the depository banks will not be required on July 1, the date named in the call, but may be made by the banks at any time on or before July 15. The purpose of this change is to separate the transfer of funds of the treasury from the heavy payments of dividends and interest falling due on the 1st of July. Chinese Begin Revengeful Work of Barring American Goods. The boycotting of American goods by the Chinese gullds is daily assuming more serious proportions, according to advices from Tien Tsin. The gullds have quietly determined to carry the boycot, through, and the aspect for American manufacturers is rather gloomy. The native newspapers are refusing advertisements of American goods. The boycott promises to prove especially disastrous to the cotton goods trade. IN CARE OF ADMIRAL TRAIN. Russian Ships Held at Manilla and Officers and Men Paroled. Secretary Taft has received the following cablegram from Governor Wright at Manila: "Russian warships did not leave the harbor within the required twenty-four hours; as a result are now in custody of Admiral Train, who informs me has taken necessary steps to interne them. They are now behind breakwater under the guns of the Ohio and Monadnock. He will disable their machinery and remove breech blocks of guns. He has doubtless reported full details to navy department." Rear Admiral Train has reported to the navy department that the Russian ships at Manila have been interned. In addition to the information contained in Governor Wright's cablegram, Rear Admiral Train said that the supplies of the ships had been limited and the officers and men paroled upon condition that they take no further part in the war. · ADMITS PART OF CHARGES. Arrest of Former Deputy Clerk of Court at Pensacola. B. H. Burton, formerly deputy clerk of the circuit court, was arrested in Pensacola, Fla., Wednesday, charged with falsifying county records, embezzlement and perjury. The amount he is alleged to have secured is $5,000. He admits that he committed some of the acts charged. PATRICK LOSES AGAIN. Murderer of Millionaire Rice Plays His Final Card. The court of appeals at Albany, N. Y., Tuesday refused to grant a stay of execution of the death sentence to permit a motion for reargument in the case of Albert T. Patrick, convicted of the murder of William Rice. The court will fix the date of execution before its adjournment. MOTHER KILLS FIVE CHILDREN. Wife of Ranchman Goes Suddenly. Insane and Runs Amuck. Mrs. George Campbell, wife of a ranchman living four miles west Tucumarl, Neb., went suddenly same Wednesday, and with a r chased her husband from home. The before he could return with help, she killed her five children and ended her own life by shooting. NO PROOF YET SECURED. Agricultural Secretary is Still Probing Charge of a Leak. Secretary Wilson informed the president Tuesday that he was pressing his investigation of the charges filed with him that a leak had occurred in the cotton crop reports issued by the agricultural department, but he has yet been unable to develop proof to sustain the charges. FEED YOUNG GIRLS. Great care should be taken at the critical period when the young girl is just merging into womanhood that the diet shall contain all that is upbuilding, and nothing harmful. At that age the structure is being formed and if formed of a healthy, sturdy character, health and happiness will follow; on the other hand unhealthy cells may be built in and a slick condition slowly supervene which, if not checked, may ripen into a chronic disease and cause life-long suffering. A young lady says: "Coffee began to have such an effect on my stomach a few years ago, that I was compelled to quit using it. It brought on headaches, pains in my muscles, and nervousness. "I tried to use tea in its stead, but found its effects even worse than those I suffered from coffee. Then for a long time I drank milk alone at my meals, but it never helped me physically, and at last it palled on me. A friend came to the rescue with the suggestion that I try Postum Coffee. "I did so, only to find at first, that I didn't fancy it. But I had heard of so many persons who had been benefited by its use that I persevered, and when I had it brewed right found it grateful in flavor and soothing and strengthening to my stomach. I can, find no words to express my feeling of what I owe to Postum Food Coffee! "In every respect it has worked a wonderful improvement—the headaches, nervousness, the pains in my side and back, all the distressing symptoms yielded to the magic power of Postum. My brain seems also to share in the betterment of my physical condition; it seems keener, more alert and brighter. I am, in shore; in better health now than I ever was before, and I am sure I owe it to the use of your Postum Food Coffee." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason. SPECIAL WRECKED Train Bearing Confederate Vets Goes Over Trestle. THREE KILLED; 29 HURT Accident Occurred on the Southern Railway at Golden Gate, Illinois. Train Was Going at the Speed of Fifty Miles an Hour. Three persons were killed and 29 injured in the wreck on an eastbound passenger train on the Southern railway at Golden Gate, Ill., Tuesday. The train was a Cotton Belt special, carrying confederate veterans to the reunion at Louisville, Ky. While running at a speed of 50 miles an hour, the engine struck a spread rail on a trestle 20 feet high, and the engine and four coaches were overturned and fell to the bottom of the ravine. The engine turned completely over. The dead are: J. J. Uhles, Greenway, Ark.; J. D. Johnson, fireman, Princeton, Ind.; unidentified woman The train consisted of three Pullmans and four coaches. Two of the sleepers were derailed, but did not go over the trestle. The third sleeper remained on the track. The most of the injured were taken to Louisville. The others were taken westward by way of Olney, Ill. J. J. Uhles, who was killed, was a merchant at Greenway, Ark. The place where the wreck occurred was 12 miles east of Alblon, Ill., and at a spot difficult to reach by wire. GREEK PREMIER SLAIN. Assassinated by Gambler Who Used Long-Bladed Dagger. Theodore P. Delyannis, the popular premier of Greece, was stabbed and mortally wounded by a professional gambler named Gherakaris, at the main entrance of the chamber of deputies in Athens at 5 p. m., Tuesday. The premier died within three hours. The assassin, who was immediately arrested, said he committed the deed in revenge for the stringent measures taken by Premier Delyannis against the gambling houses, all of which recently were closed. The premier arrived at the entrance of the chamber in a carriage. Gherakaris approached, saluted the premier and opened the carriage door. The premier was in the act of thanking Gherakaris for his courtesy when the gambler plunger a long dagger into M. Delyannis' abdomen, inflicting a frightful wound. The murderer was immediately overpowered by the attendants, Medical assistance was quickly -secured, and the wounded statesman was taken to a Red, Cross station, where an operation was performed in an effort to stop the internal hemorrhage. This was unsuccessful and Premier Delyannis died at 7:30 o'clock. The news spread quickly and it would be impossible to describe the popular evidences of sorrow or the anger of the crowd, which attempted to lynch the assailant. This was prevented by the gendarmes, who rushed their prisoner from the building to prison. BRITAIN SNUBS GERMANY. Sides With France Anent Moroccan Question—Urcle Sam in Accord. A London dispatch says: Great Britain as one of the powers signatory to the Madrid convention of 1880, in answer to the request of the sultan of Morocco to join an international conference for the consideration of the Moroccan question, has announced that its preference is not to take any part in the conference unless such action would be satisfactory to France. The United States has taken the same stand, the two powers being in accord with France that such a conference would not be the best way of promoting urgent reforms in Morocco. ROBBER MAKES RICH HAUL. Steals $120,000 in Securities From Un der Sleeping Owner's Head. A robbary involving the loss of $120,000 in securities by Henry W. Comstock of Boston, which occurred on board the steamer Puritan during her trip from New York to Fall River Sunday night, was reported to the police authorities of Boston Monday. The securities, which included 22 certificates of stock of various railroads and of the United States Steel Corporation, were taken from under a pillow in Mr. Comstock's stateroom. ATTIRE WAS TOO SPARE. Pictures Taken on President's Western Trip Ordered Destroyed. Daring Girl "Spolled" Them. A special from Denver, Col., says: The government has ordered that hundreds, of snapshots of President Roosevelt's party, taken while it was returning from the hunting trip, be destroyed. The pictures were made by residents of Glenwood Springs, and one was a moving picture by H. H. Buckwalter. A very pretty young lady joined the party as it was nearing the springs, and her presence has caused the government order to destroy all negatives in which she appeared. The reason for the order restraining the photographers from using the picture was that the garb worn by this daughter of the west was not in accordance with the female attire of her sisters. She wore a tan riding habit, the skirt of which lacked many inches of touching the ground, and where the skirt really ought to be there were a pair of neatly turned ankles. A slouch hat, a bandana handkerchief around her neck and her sleeves rolled up "washer woman" fashion was just how she looked. And she rode astride. Gertrude Dunn, the young woman who caused all this furor, lives in Glenwood Springs. When she heard of the plans to photograph the presidential party she drove out with John E. Monk, who represented The New York Sun with the party. When they came up with the president she jumped out of the buggy, and, seeing a horse standing by without a rider, she vaulted herself into the saddle and rode up behind the president just as the photographer began to get busy. The first sheet got the girl while riding just between President Roosevelt and Secretary Loeb. CHILDREN ASSASSINATED. Dastardly Crime Committed as Result Dastardly Crime Committed as Result of Long Standing Feud. or Long Standing Feud. Last Thursday night in the Hahlira district, a few miles north of Valdosta, Ga., an unknown assassin shot to death, two children of W. L. Carter and wounded a third. About 9 o'clock the three children went into the yard to investigate into the cause of the continued barking of their dog. When they did not return Carter arose to investigate, but before he could leave the room three reports rang out, and, on reaching the yard, he found that all three children had been shot. The 16-year-old girl was dead, lying at full length on the ground. The 17-year-old son, in mortal pain, was crawling toward the house. The younger child was not seriously injured and revived on being taken inside. It is said by many that the murders may have been the result of a family feud of long standing. It is known that two attempts had previously been made on the life of Mr. Carter and his children may have been the innocent victims of the deadly hatred felt toward their father. The father, it is charged, was fired on several weeks ago by J. G. Rawlings, who is also a former minister. He has been arrested under the charge of assault with intent to murder. Tuesday morning Rawlings was arrested on a bench warrant and his bond was increased $2,000, making it $3,250 in all. Rawlings spent Tuesday night in Valdosta, so it will be easy for him, his friends claim, to prove an alibi. Prior to the attempt on Carter's life several weeks ago, he had his throat cut in a court room. This occurred several months ago. The feud between Carter and some of his neighbors has been bitter for several years. The solicitor general and the officers have their theories and many arrests are expected. The alleged instigators, as well as the assassins, are wanted. BRITISH VE88EL SUNK. Russian Auxiliary Cruiser Sends the Steamer St. Kilda to Bottom. The few details obtainable regarding the sinking of the British steamer St. Kilda by the Russian auxiliary cruiser Dnieper show that the St. Kilda was captured by the Dnieper June 4, about 50 miles from Hong Kong, at which port she was last reported. She was sunk by the cruiser on the following day on the ground that she had contraband of war on board, after the crew end malls had been removed.

SATURDAY, JUNE 17, 1905. On Sunday last, Rev. Broughton, of Atlanta, one of the ablest Baptist ministers in Georgia, delivered a timely sermon, a part of which we clip below. This can be read with much relish: "As a foundation for what I have to say tonight in 'Samuel the judge who knew no side,' I wish to say a word or two about the criminal conditions in Georgia at this time. I do not believe crime was as ever as rank with us as it is to day. Every day there are reports of flagrant murders, lynching, arson and the like committed in our state and unless it be a Negro who commits the crime punishment is the exception. Our courts are too cowardly to punish "Within the last year crimes have occurred in our state which could not have occurred in any other state in our southland. I hate to say this. I love my adopted state. It is the place I have elected to live and die. All I have in this world is here, but Georgia today is in disgrace because of her black record of unpunished crime Within the last twenty-four hours I have ta ked with some of our best citizens on this subj- ct, and they feel about it just as I feel That good people have lost their respect for law is not to be wondered at Year after year we pay legislators to go up to the capitol, and make laws to protect property and guard human life, and instead, of things getting better they grow constantly worse. "What is the matter? Are there no good men in the state who can be induced to go up to the legislature and remedy these evils? Is it not possible to get sufficient amendments to our criminal laws to prevent the present perversion of justice? I believe so. I believe the legislature soon to convene has enough good men in it to do it if only the healthy moral sentiment of the state is brought to bear upon them. "We must not wait for the politicians. They are pledged to dig a sufficient channel for liquor dealers to flood the state with rum. If any reform comes in moral law the moral sentiment has got to come to the front and demand it and get it. I for one am tired of whiskey soaked political legislatures. I want to see some solid work done next time or I am in for revolution. I don't care how it comes. We have suffered long enough already. Our criminal statute is a farce and our courts a laughing stock. I am in for cleaning these up or putting them out." Spread of Tuberculosis The spread of tuberculosis among Afro-Americans since the war has been alarming, according to all medical authorities, says the Age. Both encouraging and discouraging were the conclusion of the recent conference in this city on "Tuberculosis Among Negroes," for its consensus of opinion was that our death rate from consumption, while abnormally high, is not due to inherent and racial predisposition to the disease, but to causes which can be removed—viola- tions of sanitary laws. Ignorance is partly responsible for our transgressions in this respect, but the most influential cause is prejudice. Real estate landlords, obeying if not sharing the racial antipathies of the populace, compel us to herd in such unhealthy dwellings as are abandoned to us by Anglo-Saxon disdain. A most heartless form prejudice has seldom taken. It seems that our realty companies may promote not only business but philanthropy by affording us dwellings which are not fatal to our children. Too Lâte to Squeal. EDITOR TRIBUNE: We noticed in the last issue of the Independent, the wail of one of the administration's satellites, appealing to the Sir Knights to desist the newspaper announcements of Grand Lodge affairs. While the several correspondents were praising this satellite's candidate, he remained passive, but as soon as the tables were turned and the sentiment the state over was changed in favor of Sir Clark he brought out his article of "How goodie we ought to be." Too late my friend, the diocast and the name of vory HARMONY PREVAILED. The Masonic Grand Lodge of Georgia in Annual Communication. The thirty fifth annual communication of the M.W. U. Grand Lodge, A. F. and A. Masons was held in Americus on Tuesday and Wednesday last. When the hour arrived for the calling on of the Grand Lodge, the largest number of delegates in its history, was in attendance and each train during the communication brought others. The Grand Lodge was presided over by Grand Master Henry R. Butler, M.D, of Atlanta. The opening ceremony was interesting and the singing was inspiring. After the Grand Lodge was declared opened a committee on credentials was appointed. The report of this committee showed a large attendance of delegates. The Grand Lodge then without ceremony went into business, and the manner in which it was dispatched showed that there were only men of ability and with a large amount of common sense present, those who have only the best interest of the craft at heart. Each delegate entered in the spirit of the occasion and proved their good intention by the amount of harmony that prevailed throughout the entire communication. The first report was that of the Grand Secretary, who called attention to important facts that were taken cognizant of by the Grand Lodge by ordering the committee on Jurisprudence to carry his recommendations into immediate effect. The report of the Treasurer showed that the finance had increased. The report on Foreign Corres pondence which was prepared by Bro. W. C. Thomas, was an interesting one and shows the Grand Lodge to be in fraternal relation with all sister jurisdictions. The report that attracted the most attention was that of the Grand Master. It covered every phase of interest to the Grand Lodge, and presented in such a way as to immediately captured not only the attention but the approval of each delegate. High enconiums were paid Grand Master Butler for his able report. The report of all of the officers being rendered, the next order of business was the election. The following officers were elected unanimously: M W., H. R Butler, Grand Master; R. W., A. L. Felton, Grand Senior Warden ; R. W., J. H. Walker, Grand Junior Warden ; R. W, G. L. Bowen, Grand Treasurer; R. W., Sol. C. Johnson, Grand Secretary; The following are the appointed officers: R. W., G. R. Hutto, Deputy Grand Master. M. W., Alex. Harris, Grand Chaplain ; W., J. A. Grant, Grand Lectur- er; W., I. C. Maund, Grand Seni- lor Deacon ; W., Robt. Robinson, Grand Junior Deacon. W, A. S. Staley, Grand Senior Steward. W., J. H. Babcock, Grand Junior Steward ; W., S. S. Mincey, Grand Mar- shal; W., J. M. Hodge Grand Sword Bearer. W, J. R. Thornton Grand Persuivant; W, L. B. Hill. Grand'Tyler. The following standing committees were appointed : Jurisprudence: J. H. Deveaux, Chas. A. Clark, Alex. Harris, C. McCarthy, J. W. Lyons, J. F. Dugas. Finance and Returns: W. H. Spencer, W. C. Thomas, A. W. Hill, Geo. F. Thomas, H. H. Williams. Welfare and Grievance: T. S. Price, W. D. Johnson, Jr., W. B. Robinson, J. H. Kendell, Z. C. Solomon. Warrants: A. B. Reynolds, J. W. Madison, H. E. Bunn, D. D. Moody. Foreign Correspondence: W. C. Thomas, Sol. C. Johnson, Wm. Williams. The officers were installed by Past Grand Master Harris in an interesting manner. The Committee on Warrants in itself shows the growth of the order. One of the most pleasing features of the communication, was the presence of Hon. Judson W. Lyons, who is one of the old members of the Grand Lodge. He was received with the usual honors and in return gave the brethren an interesting address. Capt. Lyons is well be loved. NOTES. Some of the leading men in the State were in attendance. The personnel of the Grand Lodge is excellent. There were present at this communication Bro. H. L. Wilson, Grand Master of Odd Fellows and Bro. C D. Cresswill, Grand Chancellor, Knights of Pythias These brethren were heartily welcomed by the delegates. For the dispatch of business in a quiet and effective way this Grand Lodge can not be excelled. One of the beneficial features was the expression of the several delegates who gave glowing accounts of the progressiveness of their several Lodges during the year. A significant fact was that not a brother gave a discouraging sentence. Innovations in the Grand Lodge are less attempted now than ever before. This shows that the brethren are growing in Masonic knowledge. The committee on Jurisprudence made a very wise and practical recommendation, and which recommendation was unanimously endorsed by the Grand Lodge, that commencing with May 1, of 1906 each lodge in the State must forward to the Grand Secretary, the Lodge returns and dues. Heretofore the dues and returns were brought to the Grand Lodge This shows progressiveness, and each Lodge must remember that their returns and dues must be in the hands of the Grand Secretary not later than May 1, of 1906, and on that date each successive year. The absence of Past Grand Master Deveaux was noted by all of the delegates, but more especially by the old attendants. Col. Deveaux is beloved by the brethren and his advice along Masonic lines are always heeded. The graduation of his daughter at Fisk University, on the day that the Grand Lodge convened is the cause of his absence. Statesboro Items.

While doing this he became a student of finance. Every morning he would read the Y practicing self-denial for several years he managed to save up $200. While doing this he became a student of finance. Every morning he would read the financial quotations. The long lines of initials and the columns of figures that at first were meaningless soon became as on open book to him. He could remember what C. J. and F. closed at a week ago last Tuesday, and if R. A. and W. went up a point he knew just how much more it would have to advance before reaching the mark which some wise men had a month before set for it. There was one thing that interested him particularly. That was F. L. and B. common. He had once heard a broker refer to it as "a nice old lady." For ten years, he learned, that stock had been fluctuating between fifteen and thirty. Every summer it would drop to the low water mark. Every winter it would regularly work itself back to the high level. Now, this young man, whose name, by the way, was Watkins, had a sort of a head for figures, and one evening after he had been drinking for a long time about Miriam Ives—a neat figure she was—he did some figuring on F. L. and B. common. "Supposing," he said to himself, "that I bought about $300 worth of it at fifteen and sold it at thirty. That would increase my working capital to $600. Then on the next slump I could invest my $100 and sell out for $1200." It was a simple proposition. All he had to do was to be a little patient. After the third turnover he would have $2400; the fourth would see him $1800 to the good. On the fifth swing of the pendulum he would have $9600, but he knocked off the $600 for commissions and other incidentals, leaving $9000 even money. His sixth plunge would make him a winner to the extent of $18,000, and after that his wealth began to pile up very fast. He would emerge from his seventh transaction in F., L. and B. common with $36,000; another go would increase his wealth to $72,000; in nine years, figuring only on the turning over of his money per annum, he would be worth $288,000. He knocked off $28,000 for general expenses, making his start on the second ten years with an even $250,000. Before he got up to the fifteenth year of his career as a buyer and seller of F., L. and B. common his head began to be dizzy, and, putting his pencil in his pocket, he went out to ask Mirlan if she would be his wife. "I want you to know," he said, when she had permitted him to press her check against his chest and gather one of her soft, warm hands in his, "that my love for you is not a selfish love. If it was I'd have asked you long ago to be my own and let you share with me the trouble that would come from trying to get along on my income. But I have waited and worshiped you in silence until I could see the way clear ahead." Then he kissed her a few times more and told her candidly what was going to happen. "Archibald," she whispered. "I don't care for all these terrible riches. Wealth is an awful responsibility. Let's keep your $300 and furnish a nice flat with it." But he convinced her before he left that it would be he almost criminal if he neglected to take, advantage of the opportunity which was opening before him, and he continued to watch the financial page. It was early summer. F., L. and B. common was steadily declining along with about everything else on the list. By the middle of June it was at twenty, and Archdald Watkins would experience a glutting sensation in the region of his vest every time he took up his paper in the morning. On the 15th of July F., L. and B. common was quoted at seventeen. Then A. Watkins transferred $300 of his money from the savings department of the bank and opened up a checking account against it. At the same time he gave a certain broker an open order to buy twenty shares of F., L. and B. common at fifteen. A week later he had a dizzy spell when he opened his paper and saw the stock quoted at the figure he had named. Later in the day he was informed by Bloodgood, Ketchum & Co. that they had bought for his account twenty shares of F., L. and B. common. He sat and thought of Mrian Ives and dreamed dreams and built air castles and wrote out an open order to sell his twenty shares at thirty, but put it in his pocket, not wishing to let his brokers get the impression that he had gone for the mere purpose of "skinning the market." He expected to see the stock hover around fifteen for a month or so before starting on the upward swing, so there was no need of haste about putting in his selling order. In the meantime he and Mrian could be looking around for a flat. A week later F., L. and B. common was quoted at eleven, and there were rumors of a reorganization which might result in the wiping out of the common stock altogether. Archibald Watkins began to have sinking spells, and he fell into the habit of breaking engagements with Miriam. Two or three times he decided to sell out and save what he could of his hard-carned money, but he put it off from day to day, hoping there might be a reaction. By the middle of August the stock was quoted at six and a half, and the young man who had figured out profiles of about $8,000,000 for himself in fifteen years was convinced that the broker who had referred to F., L. and B. common as "a nice old lady" had been mistaken. He quarrelled with Miriam because she thought he was foolish for not saving what little he could from the wreck. "It's bound to turn," he assured her. "Confound them, I'll show them that they can't freeze me out. I'll prove to them that I have as much nerve as any of them." "But think how much more sensible it would have been," she answered, "if you had taken my advice and kept the money to furnish the flat!" That made him angry. It was the kind of talk he had always heard from his mother when she was alive. It had always been, "Archibald, if you had only listened to me!" So he rushed away from Miriam, bitterly saying: "When I get $30 a share for my stock I'll come back." On the following day it went down with a sickening "plop" to three and a quarter, at which figure Archibald Watkins sold out. Deducting the commissions there was left for him about $40 out of the $300 which he had paid as his tuition fee. The next morning he noticed that the reaction had begun, and in four weeks F., L, and B. common was selling around twenty-five. When it touched thirty again A. Watkins sat and studied the figures long and earnestly. Also he reread a note which he had received that morning from Miriam Ives. "Dearest Archibald (she wrote), I see now that you really did know what you were talking about. Forgive me for the doubts I expressed concerning your wisdom. Be sure to come this evening. I am so anxious to tell you how much I admire you for your courage and for your shrewdness. I have just heard of the dearest flat. And I am dying to congratulate you on your—or may I dear, say 'our—success? Yours impatiently." "MIRIAM." "Well," he said at last, pulling a long stick and letting the note drop from his fingers, "I'm a goat if I'd have believed before it happened that they'd go to so much trouble to get the money I put into it." - S. E. Kiser, in Chicago Record-Herald. Ethnotice of Burgy Elding Our note on the American Rhodes students at Oxford who drive in their buggies alone has stirred the memory of a correspondent. With some other English lads he was in Virginia soon after the Civil War. For a while the Virginia girls went driving with the English boys. But then came a time when they began to make excuses. Asked for an explanation, one of them said: "You have all been real nice, but we have heard that in England it is not considered correct for ladies to go out driving alone with gentlemen." The English pleaded for the "most favored nation" clause. From the vacant seat in the Oxford buggy we infer reprisals.—London Chronicle. No Need of Thanks. An elderly clergyman who attended the Baptist ministers' meeting last week told of an occasion during the last winter when the joke was on him. It was a very cold day, and the sidewalks being slippery, the clergyman had some trouble in walking. When he came to the steps of his residence he tried to climb them, but was unable to do so because of the thick coating of ice. A little boy passing along the street lent his arm to the old man, assisting him to the top step, and then was about to run away, when he was called back and thanked. "Oh, don't mention it," said the boy. "I am used to that. My father comes home that way almost every night."—Philadelphia Record. All Lopsided. The two sides of a person's faces are never alike.

The savage tribes of Central Africa are desperately afraid of thunderstorms, says the Philadelphia Record. Unfortunately for their peace of mind, very terrible electrical disturbances sometimes take place in their countries. The bravest of the natives then go forth in a body armed with bows and arrows. They shoot savagely at the heavens, and are occasionally rewarded for their trouble by having the lightning attracted by their arrows; they are, of course, then killed on the spot. A SIMPLE SHADOW GAME Hang a sheet on the wall, or if a sheet is not convenient let down the window shade. One of the players must now sit close to the shade with his face toward it and turned away from the company. A few feet behind him stands a light, either lamp or candle. One of the players now passes between the light and the first player, so that his shadow falls on the sheet or shade. The first player must try to guess whose shadow it is. Of course, each player may walk, hop, limp or do anything else that will make his shadow hard to recognize—New York News. FERVENT BIRD ARCHITECT. The process of the building of a bird's nest is always interesting, and the most wonderful of all nests, those of the weaver birds, can always be seen in the making by any one who will buy a few males of the African red-billed weaver, says the London Express. This is a little bird much like a small hen sparrow with a bright red bill, and decked in the breeding season with a pink cap and breast and a black mask. He is an enthusiastic architect, and in France is always sold as travailleur—the worker. Even in the cage he will weave any fibrous material in and out of the wires till they are covered, and in an aviary he will construct beautiful round nests with the greatest enthusiasm, pausing occasionally to swear at fellow craftsmen who presume to criticise his efforts or cast a larcenous eye on his materials. TO DRAW A FIVE-POINTED STAR. TO DRAW A FIVE-POINTED STAR. There are many ways of making five-pointed stars and, although we printed another way some time ago, we are going to tell you a new method, for boys and girls use them so often in decorations that the following method of making it should be kept in mind. You will need a pair of compasses. With these draw a circle of any size. Draw a line across the circle, going through the centre. Draw another line from the centre to the top of the circle. Find the middle point of the right half of the first line. The hand in the THE FINISHED STAR AND DIAGRAM OF ITS 'CONSTRUCTION. picture points it out. Use that point for one end of the compass. Place the pencil end at the top of the circle and draw a curve downward until it touches the line running across the circle. The distance between the crossing point and the top of the circle is the exact distance between the points of a five-pointed star drawn in that circle. A star drawn on stiff paper may be cut out and used as a pattern in making flags or ornaments. — New York Evening Mail. YOUNG FLAMINGOS. When the young flamingo emerges from the egg he appears to be covered with stringy white hairs, which, in drying, release downy plumules, and at the end of a few hours he is thickly covered with soft, dense down. A curious habit of some of the young birds, writes Mr. Chapman in Bird Lore, is their attempts to feed one another. The young flamingo remains in the nest three or four days. Should he be forced to leave it during this period, he evidently can find his way back, and climb into the nest with the aid of bill and wings. It is an exceedingly interesting fact that the bill of the young flamingo is straight and wholly unlike the singular, bent bill of the adult. Signs of a row map nose, so to speak, first appear when the chick is about two weeks old, and at this time he begins to feed after the manner of adults. That is, the upper mandible is held almost parallel with the ground, and even pressed into the muddy bottom on which the birds feed. It is then moved rapidly, and sends a jet of water through the bill, which washes away the sand or mud taken in with the food. Like the old bird, the young one now often treads water or dances when feeding, to float its food off the bottom, so that it can be more readily secured. The note of the very young birds is a puppy-like barking. This is soon followed by a kind of squealing whistle, and this, in turn, by a chirruping crow, which-persists until the bird is at least two months old. The whistling note was the characteristic one at the time of which I write, and under proper conditions, the chorus of young birds could be plainly heard day or night at my tent a mile away from their nesting grounds. THE OWL WAS ITS, TEACHER. The wind blew and blew. And it rocked the trees so hard that it threw the little nestling out of its nest. And it blew it so far away that its mamma could not find it. There it sat! It could not fly and it could not walk, and it had no feathers, and so it got very, very cold. It tried to call its mamma, but the wind made so much noise that it could not be heard. Poor little birdie! No clothes and no home, and the wind so cold. Just then a little wren, going home to her own children, found our poor little bird and took it along, for the night. But in the morning there it was, so bare, and the cold wind was blowing again. So something had to be done for clothes. Now Mrs. Wren was very small and had a family herself, so that she couldn't give our little baby any of her feathers, and all her neighbors were poor, too. All they had was a snug little nest, hidden somewhere in the leaves. But they were very happy and sang all day long. And then all the golden sunshine belonged to them. Therefore Mr. Wren called all the neighbors together to see what could be done. They all came. There was the Mocking Bird, the Flycatcher and Sparrow, the Bullfish, the Oriole and Bluebird and many more. Mrs. Wren was kept very busy making them comfortable in her elderberry bush. Such a chirping and twittering you never heard. Every one had something to say, and there was so much talking done that Mr. Wren at last called the meeting to order and said: "My dear neighbors and friends! Last evening my wife, Mrs. Wren, found this poor bare baby bird over there in the field. We do not know its parents and it is very chilly; some clothes must be got and a homo found!" Then they all spoke again at once. But Mrs. Wren, in her quick and easy way, soon had things going right. Mrs. Flycatcher would give a yellow breast front, the Bluebird would put the sleeves to it, for the wings, the Swallow made a cap and bib of blue, with a white trimming, and they got a few good stiff features from the tail of the Blue Jay. But of what use was a dress without a back to it? And every one had given as much as possible, for all had their own little babies. But Mrs. Wren again knew what to do, so she asked for just a few plain white feathers and then patched up the back with the remnants of the blue and yellow ones she had from the other parts. Oh! what a nicely colored suit it did make. And our little baby was proud of it when it was dressed. It bobbed its pretty head up and down, and showed its pretty yellow breast and blue wings. But even little birds must learn something. So the Oriole said that it would teach it to make a good nest, and the Robin Meedbreast would care for it until it was old enough to fly. But then who would teach it all its manners and what else a bird must know? At that they were all quiet, for they all were afraid they didn't know enough to teach others. But here again Mrs. Sparrow and said: "Now, you haven't got any feathers, and have done nothing at all for the little one, and yet you are always so forward in other things. So just fly over to the wise old Owl, who stays at home all day long, because he can only see in the dark, and ask him to be her teacher." Of course the owl would be. And so everything being settled they all went home, and our little blue Titmouse grew up into one of the prettiest and smartest birds you ever saw. And whenever you see a Titmouse flying about just remember how its suit of feathers was made up, and if you have any poor little neighbors, don't forget that a little here and a little there, if wisely put together, will make them a good warm winter suit.—Ha Kusterer, in the Indianapolis News. Servia's Government is about building 750 miles of railroad lines, How to Establish a New Lawn or Improve an Old One. By S. L. Maynard. --- HE beauty and finish of home grounds depend mainly upon the lawn. It is the groundwork of the home picture and more money is spent upon this part of outdoor decoration than upon any other feature. A soft, green, velvety lawn is what every landscape architect and every home builder is using every means to produce. A perfect lawn cannot be made in any kind of soil, but by proper treatment a reasonably good one can be produced if the land is not too sandy or saturated with water. The reader who would be interested in this discussion, thinks perhaps of lawns under two conditions—a new lawn about a new place, or one already more or less established. The first is decidedly, an easy proposition, and straightaway work, but in the second so many varying conditions present themselves that unless we work very carefully and skilfully, poor results will crown our efforts. TO MAKE A NEW LAWN. With the new lawn we would first study the soil. If heavy and wet, with a clay or hardpan subsoll, we would make sure of perfect and quick drainage. For this purpose tile makes the most permanent underdrain. If the drains are to be laid under a road or driveway where the ground freezes deeply the Akron, or glazed, tile will be better than the land tile, as it would not be injured by freezing unless filled with water, while freezing would soon destroy the latter, whether full of water or not. If there is an abundance of small stones to be gotten rid of, trenches may be dug for the foundation of the roadbed that will also serve for draining, as well, but a clear outlet must be provided, or soil will soon settle in among the stones and the drain be clogged. The preliminary grading, i.e., rough grading of a new lawn, should have been made a month or two before it is to be seeded, if possible, that the settling of the soil may have been completed. Not less than ten inches of fine surface soil should be put over the rough grading to be worked over and be made a rich seedbed. The more this soil can be worked the better. After it has been roughly worked over it should be allowed to settle for a few days, and then worked over again. If of large extent the acme or spring-toothed harrow may be used for this purpose. The surface of the lawn should slope evenly away from the buildings so that all surface water will quickly drain off. If the soil is not already rich, it should be made so by the use of fine, rich stable manure, or lawn fertilizers made largely of fine bone and tankage, or other organic materials, and wood ashes. Fertilizers containing potash or soda salts are likely to injure the young grass seedlings, unless applied a long time before the grass seed is sown, or the land has been worked over many times after its application. Wood ashes and fine ground bone makes a very satisfactory lawn fertilizer, used at the rate of two tons of the former to one of the latter, per acre, or about twenty-five pounds and twelve pounds, respectively per square rod. Before seed is sown the surface should be freshly raked in several directions with long-toothed iron rakes until it is perfectly satisfactory from every point of view. Along the edges of the walks and drives a line of turf should be laid, or the edges will become broken before the grasses are large enough to trim. KIND OF GRASSES TO USE. BEST OF GARDENS TO GROW The best grasses for the general lawn are the June grass (Kentucky blue grass), and red tops (Bent grasses), used in equal quantities at the rate of four or five bushels per acre, and ten pounds of white clover. If the lawn is more or less under the shade of trees some of the fine grasses that grow well in the shade should be added, like Canada Blue Grass, Meadow Fescue, Sweet Vernal, etc. The lawn grass mixtures sold by dealers, if the seed is new, are especially useful, as they contain many kinds of seeds, and no matter what the soil or exposure, some of them will be sure to grow. SOWING THE SEEDS. Grass seeds should be sown in a newly worked soil. Rake over a portion, then sow the seed and rake it in, and take up another portion. One not skilled in this will sow more evenly if the seed is divided into two or three lots, sowing them across the land in several directions. In raking in the seed, the rake must be held lightly, that the soil and seed may not be bunched. Whether a roller should be used or not depends upon several conditions. If the land is fairly moist, and extreme drought does not follow, rolling will be best, but in a rather dry soil and followed by extreme drought for several weeks the moisture is less rapidly carried away if the surface soil is left light and mellow. The young grass plants will burn off in the hot sun more quickly on rolled than unrolled land. A newly seeded lawn should not be cut with a lawn mower until the surface has become so well established as not to be injured by the wheels. A light, sharp scythe run carefully over the lawn to cut off weeds and the coarsest grasses is all that is needed for many weeks. All such clippings should be carefully raked off, as in this stage of growth the young grass plants are easily smothered. Should weeds seem to be injuring the grass plants, it will pay at this stage of growth to place wide planks upon the surface and dig them out with a pointed knife, then scatter more grass seed and roll it in. The first year is the critical time with the lawn, and surplus grass seed should be on the land ready to grow where vacant spaces occur. An abundance of water is necessary to keep a lawn in good condition, but it should never be put on newly seeded lawns in such a way as to bake the surface soil. A sprinkler producing a fine mist is best for the young shoots, and the night is the best time in wich to apply it. Enough water must be used to wet down below the roots, or the rapid evaporation following a light watering will leave the surface so baked that in the end it is worse than none at all. After the grasses have become well established the lawn mower should be used frequently, cutting high from the ground and removing all long clippings that might smother the young plants. If the growth is not rapid and of a rich green color, a very light dressing of nitrate of soda or sulphate of ammonia, from 200 to 300 pounds per acre, sown just before a rain, or a very light dressing of very fine rich manure, will give it a very vigorous start. IMPROVING THE OLD LAWN. IMPROVING THE OLD LAWN. Probably there are more old lawns that it is desirable to improve than new ones to be made, and many and perhaps more difficult problems are presented in this work. In considering these we must look first at the nature of the land and what there may be in the way of grasses, trees, shrubs, etc., already upon it. We must especially note what kind of grasses thrive upon the land and encourage such to make their best growth, unless, of course, they are undesirable kinds. There is less opportunity to improve the soil of the old lawn than the new one. We may remove surplus water by under-draining and we may enrich it by surface dressing, but few will be found that can be plowed or deeply worked. A dressing of a half-inch to an inch of fine rich manure on the surface just before the ground freezes up in the fall, and the application of lawn grass seed, in April and August is about the limit of what we can do to improve the soil surface. IMPROVING THE SURFACE. Deep depressions should be filled up, abrupt surfaces smoothed off, and as good a seed bed provided as possible. Pine rich soil may be spread over the old grasses to the depth of two or three inches, and many of the grasses will work up through, but if covered much deeper than this, entire new seeding must be depended upon. If the land is very uneven we need fill up only an inch-or so at a time, once in the spring and again in the fall, each time sowing grass 'seed, when, after a few years, the surface will become perfect, and in the meantime we have had a fairly good lawn. If the land is moist and springy a heavy roller run over it in the spring will press the grass roots in place, and will start growth more quickly than would be the case without it. The best time for sowing grass seeds upon an old lawn is in August, nature's natural seeding time, in the fall just before the ground freezes up and very early in the spring. In order to have a good lawn the entire surface must be covered with grass. FREQUENT CUTTING. Frequent cutting of the old lawn is especially necessary, and many a grass plot has been turned into a respectable lawn by mowing once or twice a week. Continuous cutting is without doubt the best treatment for the lawn, but whether this shall be so frequent that the very short clippings drop and remain on the surface, or be made only when the grasses have reached two or three inches in length and the clippings caught in a hopper or swept up and carried to the compost pile, or used as a mulch, is a matter of varied opinion. Frequent clipping is economy of time, effort and wear and tear of the machine, but few of us are always able to cut when the desired one-half or one inch growth has taken place, and we sometimes have to take off the heavy cutting to prevent the grass roots under it from damping_off (decaying). The length of cutting will depend much upon the vigor of the grasses. At the first cutting in the spring I would clip very close, to get rid of the "old fog" or dead leaves, at the roots, then raise the knives a half inch to an inch or so to produce a soft, mossy carpet. To adjust the blades of a lawn mower so that it will cut well and yet not run hard, requires much mechanical skill and good judgment. The modern machine is so made that if kept well adjusted it is self sharpening, and may run years without being "sharpened." An abundance of oil—good machine oil with a little kerosene in it—and the frequent slight adjusting of the screws, will keep the machine in good working order—From Outing.

I cannot vouch for the truth of the following story, but it was told to me by one who professed to have wit- nessed the incident: In one of the fiercest battles foucht by the Army of Tennessee, a Tennessee regiment which lad won renown on many bloody flelds and had never're- coiled except before a fire which the staunchest veterans would consider a valid excuse for such conduct, found itself In a situation which fully justi- Jied, in the opinion of both officers and men, a “rotrograde movement.” Suddenly, while driving a Yankee Tine before it, it came upon a half dozen batteries, which opened at short'range -with grape, while three or four other Federal regiments rose up on its flanks and poured ina “blizzard.” ‘The ‘Ten- negseans found st best, under'these eir- cumstances, to fall back to a ridge some 300 yards in the rear, and leaving nearly half their number dead and wounded on the ground, thes, sought this friendly shelter to reform. + At this juncture a Mississippi regi- ment of equal celebrity arrived. Its gallant Colonel, ansious for the fray, but not apprised of the nature of tlie situation, sbouted to the Tennesseeans, “Make way there and let Mississippl ip.” A way was promptly made, and the brave boys from “Old Jeff's” State rushed in with their usual ardor, and the confidence bexotten of repeated vic~ tories. nt when they reached the spot where the Tennesseeans had received the destructive volleys, 2 similar zreet- ing was given them,’ Earth and air seemed ‘lighted with the flame and resonant with the roar of the infernal regions, and they reeled back as their predecessors had done. | Seeing them return, the Temmesseeans rose and yelled: Make way here and let Mississippi out."—Gencral_ Basil Doke, in Home and Farm. ¢_ THEY MET BY CHANCE. t= The Manchester (Vt.)

Finally’the doe got back into the road, between the woodsman ané the buck, and, probably fron? exbaus- tion, laid down. The buck approached ber and Japped her sides, but uponjany attempt of the man to retreat, would dart after him until he stopped. ‘This condition of affairs continued for near- y nf an hour, the man, meanwhile, as he freely admits, sweating great rops of ayons.

In the home, which is the soul's feat garden, there must be a safe- guard and ‘haven In order to give the ‘sequestering force-to meet other in- fluences. It ts there the individuafity must be developed for the purpose of refreshing an helping others instead of gaining for ourselves. It Is there that we should be sure that room shall be allowed us to develop natures which may vary in type from those with whom our lives are Intprdepen- dent. Jt Should be Fequired only that our growth be upward, and howover dif- ferent our methods of broadening our characters in our homes they should receive encouragement and strength. In adjusting resources to the needs of the family the homemaker .must be constantly forming a process of selec- tion in which she gives the needs of the spirit predominance over all ma- terial desire, ’ To cultivate health’ of mind and body is a leading mission of the home, and’ ft is for this purpose that the homemaker must do her housekeop- ing. It ie for the health of the body that she must preserve hygienic cleanliness and supply nourishing food. It is for the health of the mind that she must dispense her hospital- ity and keep a fund, however Imited, for the amusements of the family. ‘The fact of tho home being a hav- en for those who come back to it from a rasping world should never be forgotten. Let the world wag and let furniture grow shabby, but at home let there be a calm and refresh- ing atmosphere. Crow Shows Intelligence. It ts surprising to see the amount of intelligence that can be shown by a crow, bute tame bird owned by Sherbrook Howard of Bathe, Me., ex- hibits it to a large degree, Each morning the bird files to Its master’s bedroom window and utters shrill crles to awaken him, but will never go foward the window again during the day. Whenever hungry ho files to the kitchen and keeps up,a con- Unual squawking until fed. He re- fuses to fly away, and so far as known has never been more than a quarter of 3 mile from his adopted home. A few nights ago several other crows from neighboring fields did their utmost to get him to fly away with them, but, ret dige the house of his young master, Crow refused to stir. HARLEOUIN PUDDING.

ORIGIN OF IMAGES UNKNOWN, Mysterlous Stone Figures a Puzzle tp Sclentiate, f ee caer er In the National Museum at Wash- aston, stands an enormous stone im- }age from Easter island, in the south- ern Pacific ocean. This island is 2,000 ‘miles distant from any other inhabited spot.

Most of these colossal figures are to be found at the eastern end of the fsland. They are hewn out of the volcanic tufa of an extinct crater and transported over its sides for three or four miles.

No. 93 Remsen St., Cohoes, N. Y. Member of Assembly from the Fourth District, Albany County, N. Y. writes as follows: "Peruana is a great hearty indorsement as a restorative tonic of superior merit. At times when I have been completely broken down from excess of work, so that my faculty seemed actually at a standstill, Peruana has acted as a healing restorer, starting the machinery of mind and body and restoring the nervous system. I recommend it to a more tired in mind and body as a tonic superior to anything I know of and well worthy serious consideration." — I. Tighe. Excess of work, so common in our country, causes impaired nerves, leading to catarh and catarral nervousness—a disease that is responsible for half of all nervous troubles. Peruana cures this trouble because it cures catarh wherever located. If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruana, write to Dr. Hartman, giving a full amount of your case, and he will be pleased to jive you his valuable advice gratis.

Plantation Chill Cure is Guaranteed Some False Reports About It Set Right by a Government Right by the correspondence. So many false and foolish reports about the Dead Sea—that strange and interesting lake—have been circulated lately that the truth will, no doubt, be acceptable to the many readers of the Daily Graphic. Since the earthquake in Palestine last April, someone circulated the story that the mouth of the River Jordan had been so affected by the shock that the level of the river had been altered to such an extent that at the place where the historic river goes into the Dead Sea there was now a waterfall of considerable depth and strength. This is altogether false, and no change whatever has taken place at or near the mouth of the Jordan. The writer has just spent some days there, and made it his special business to investigate this matter. Much has also appeared from time to time in papers and periodicals about steamboats navigating the Dead Sea. This, too, is a fabrication. The only boat on the Dead Sea is a small sailing boat about twenty feet long. This vessel makes trips, as the wind allows, from the north end of the sea to the bay on the eastern side of the tongue that divides the water near the middle. Here at, this terminus some Jews are located. The whole concern is, in fact, in the hands of Jews, who, at a low rate, buy wheat and barley from the Arabs, to be delivered on the seashore.

Goose Envious of Hen. When the news reached here that an ambitious hen up in New Hampshire had laid an egg that measured 31% inches in circumference all the poultry in the neighborhood got busy to beat the record. Up to date only one notable achievement has been reported. That comes from Preston D. White's brown African goose, which, it seems, entered the contest, though it did not belong to the chicken class. Mr. White brought the result to town today, and it is the biggest egg ever seen in North Attleboro. It is 11% inches around the longest circumference and ten inches around the shortest. The egg weighs 13 ounces. The goose began its laying career in January, 1903, and the mammoth egg was the ninety-ninth to her credit. She is two and one-half feet high, measures five feet eight inches from tip to tip, and weighs 19 pounds—North Attleboro (Mass.) special to Chicago Inter-Ocean. FITSpermanent enured.

"Your beautiful city," yawned the young man from New York, "reminds me of a bursted drum." The Chicago girl looked daggers, bayonets and hatpins. "What?" she finished. "Our city reminds you of a bursted drum? Why so, sir?" "Because it can't be beaten." HIS VIEWPOINT. Harris—Money isn't everything in this world, I can tell you that, my boy.

"During my six weeks' absence," said the proprietor of a rental agency, "I left my wife in charge of the office, and she didn't rent a single house in all that time."

"Of course, sometimes its hard to say 'no.' Don't you find it so?" the charity worker asked of the great man. "It isn't hard to say 'no,' he replied, "but frequently it seems very hard to say it in such a way as to make people realize that you mean it." Railroad Rate Legislation. Testifying before the Senate Committee at Washington, Interstate Commerce Commissioner Pronty said in discussing the proposition to give that commission the power to regulate railway rates: "I think the railways should make their own rates. I think they should be allowed to develop their own business. I have never advocated any law, and I am not now in favor of any law, which would put the rate making power into the hands of any commission or any court. While it may be necessary to do that some time, while that is done in some States at the present time, while it is done in some countries, I am opposed to it. The railway rate is property. It is all the property that the railway has got. The rest of its property is not good for anything unless it can charge a rate. Now it has always seemed to me that when a rate was fixed, if that rate was an unreasonable rate, it deprives the railroad company of its property pro tanto. It is not necessary that you should confiscate the property of a railroad; it is not necessary that you should say that it shall not carry three per cent. or four per cent. When you put in a rate that is inherently unreasonable, you have deprived that company of its rights, of its property, and the Circuit Court of the United States has jurisdiction under the fourteenth amendment to restrain that. I have looked at these cases a great many times, and I can only come to the conclusion that a railroad company is entitled to charge a fair and reasonable rate, and if any order of a commission, if any statute of a State Legislature, takes away that rate, the fourteenth amendment protects the railway company."

How often do we hear the expression, "I am so nervous, it seems as if I should fly;" or, "Don't speak to me! Little things Can we dispute the well-known fact that American women are nervous? How often do we hear the expression, "I am no needier, if I should fly;" or, "Don't speak to me." Little things annoy you and make you irritable; you can't sleep, you are unable to quietly and calmly perform your daily tasks or care for your children. The relation of the nerves and generative organs in women is so close that nine-tenths of the nervous prostration, nervous debility, the blues, sleepsliness and nervous irritability arise from some derangement of the organism which makes her a woman. Fits of depression or rostlessness and irritability. Spirits easily affected, so that one minute she laughs, the next minute weeps. Pain in the ovaries and between the shoulders. Loss of voice; nervous dyspepsia. A tendency to cry at the least provocation. All this points to nervous prostration. Nothing will relieve this distressing condition and prevent months of prostration and suffering so surely as Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Mrs. M. E. Shotwell, of 103 Flatbush Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y., writes: "I cannot express the wonderful relief I have experienced by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I suffered for a long time with nervous prostration, backache, headache, loss of appetite. I could also and would walk the floor almost every night. "I had three doctors and got no better, and life was a burden. I was advised to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and it has worked wonders for me. I am a well woman, my nervousness is all gone, my my friends say I look ten years younger." Will not the volumes of letters from women made strong by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound convince all women of its virtues? Surely you cannot wish to remain sick and weak and discouraged, exhausted each day, when you can be as easily cured as other women.
