VOL. XX. Responsible for the Great Increase in Capital Crime. SO SAYS SECRETARY TAFT Head of War Department Addresses Law Class of Harvard Uni- versity Along Lines of Jurisprudence. William H. Taft, secretary of war, delivered the address to the Yale law school graduating class at New Haven, Conn., Monday on "The Administration of Criminal Law." Defending the policy of refusing trial by jury to the Fillipinos, Mr. Taft said that trial by jury had come to be regarded as a fetish to such an extent that state legislatures have exalted the power of the jury and diminished the power of the court. The result of this, Mr. Taft pointed out, was a great increase in crime of the felony class. The administration of criminal law in the states Mr. Taft declared to be a disgrace to our civilization. He hardly thought it encouraged us to think it wise to introduce a system of jury trial in the Philippines. Mr. Taft suggested as remedies the restriction of the right of appeal and giving the judges power to comment on the evidence and express their opinion to the jury on the facts. Mr. Taft said, in part: "I grieve for my country, to say that the administration of criminal law in all the states of the union (there may be one or two exceptions) is a disgrace to our civilization. We are now reaching an age when we cannot flead youth, sparse civilization, newness of country as a cause for laxity in the enforcement of law. "The institution of trial by jury has come to be regarded a fetish to such an extent that state legislatures have exalted the power of jury and diminished the power of the court in the hearing of criminal cases. "The function of the judge is limited to that of moderator in a religious assembly. The counsel for the defense, relying on the diminished power of the court, creates by dramatic art and by harping on the importance of unimportant details, a false atmosphere in the court room which the judge is powerless to dispel and under the hypnotic influence of which the counsel is able to lead the jurors to vote as jurors for a verdict which after all the excitement of the trial has passed away, they are unable to support as men. "And now what has been the result in this country? Since 1885 in the United States there have been 121,951 murders and homicides, and there have been 2,236 executions. In 1888 the number of murders was 1,608. In 1904 it had increased to 8,482. The number of executions in 1885 was 108. In 1904 the number was 116. This startling increase in the number of murders and homicides as compared with the number of executions tells the story. "Our country is disgusted by the number of lynchings that occur both in the north and south, and excuses are sought for the horid and flendish cruelties perpetrated by mobs in such cases in some other cause than the delays of justice. Instances are cited of where the mob has executed men whom they had every reason to believe were to be justly punished under the law, to show that an improvement in the criminal procedure would not prevent lynchings. But every man of affairs who has studied the subject at all knows that if men who commit crime were promptly arrested and convicted there would be no mob for the purpose of lynching. Nothing but a radical improvement in every administration of criminal law will prevent the growth in the number of lynchings in the United States that bring the blush of shame to every lover of his country." HELD WHITE BOY IN PEONAGE. On That Charge Alabama Farmer Gets a Year in Jail. The first case of a white man holding a white man in a state of peonage was concluded in the United States court at Montgomery, Ala., on Tuesday, John B. Bowdon, a farmer of Coffee, receiving a penalty of a year in jail for holding a young white boy, and forcing him to work without pay. This was a hard fought cause, to refute the charge that it was only those holding negroes who were vigorously prosecuted. The Savannah Tribune. MORE RIOTING IN LODZ. Groops Shoot Down Many Strikers in Russian Poland City=Martial Law Will Be Declared. A dispatch from Lodz, Russian Poland, under date of June 23, is as follows: "Since early this morning this city has been in a state of panic. the strike is general and all the factories and shops are closed. Barricades have been erected at many points. Rifle volleys and revolver guns are heard contifiially: Many persons have been killed or wounded, but it is impossible at present to ascertain the number with any exactitude, owing to the general character of the disturbances. The mob sacked a number of liquor stores and broke street lamps. Street railroad traffic is interrupted." A later dispatch says: "Troops have stormed the barricades erected in the principal streets by the strikers. Fifty persons have been killed and two hundred wounded. Martial law will be declared." According to advises received in St. Petersburg the situation in Poland is again exceedingly serious. Censored dispatches from Lodz, though, giving few details, indicate that fierce street fighting was in progress Thursday between the military and the striking workmen, who barricaded the thoroughfares in various quarters of the city and offered resistance, which the troops met with volleys. The list of dead and wounded presumably is heavy, but not even an estimate has yet been received, Russian correspondents telegraphing that the streets are entirely in the hands of the military and the mob, and that it is unsafe to venture out to obtain details. Lodz has been in a turmoil for several days. The strike, which embraces 60,000 workers, appears to have entirely lost its ecotomic nature, and is now a vast political manifestation. All forms of public business activity have been suspended, the peaceful inhabitaants remaining indoors in fear of their lives. The political zeal of the manifestants has become inflamed by intoxicants from the vodka shops, which were broken into and pillaged. At Warsaw a strike has commenced and disorders are looked for and the trial of Okrjej, who threw a bomb at a police station March 26, will probably result in other bomb outrages. A man was arrested Thursday morning, armed with a bomb, which was evidently intended to be used in court during the trial. INDIAN OFFICIALS INDICTED. It Is Alleged They Are Concerned in School Warrant Frauds. The department of justice at Washington was officially advised Friday that as the result of the investigation into alleged frauds in connection with the government of the Chickasaw nation, Indian Territory, ex-Governor Moseley, Treasurer Ward and Governor Johnson of the Chickasaw nation; United States Marshal Colbert, Banker Purdom and Attorneys Mansfield, McMurray and Cornish and others have been indicted for re-issuing school and general fund warrants of the Chickasaw nation. The school warrants were issued in lieu of immediate payments for various educational purposes. A considerable amount of these had accumulated, and congress at its last session appropriated $320,000 of the Chikasaw nation funds to meet their payment. The estimate made at the interior department is that so far as is now known about $60,000 of these school warrants have been fraudulently reissued. COUNT $ ^{c} $ LAMSDORFF $ ^{c} $ IS ILL. Consequently Roosevelt Has Not Heard from His Latest Note. President Roosevelt so far has not received an answer from Russia to his latest representations regarding peace. It is believed that the illness of Count Lamsdorf may account for this delay. While there is no official announcement on the subject the general understanding is that these representations concern an armistice ROADS APPEAL TAX CASE. Supercedeas Granted by Judge Pendle- fon to Central and Georgia ton to Central and Georgia. Judge Pendjeton of the civil branch of the superior court at Atlanta has granted a supercedeas in the injunctions which he recently denied in the case of the Central and the Georgia railroads against W. A. Wright, comproiler general, and the temporary restraining order holds good until the case shall have been decided in supreme court of the state. These roads sought to enjoin the collection of $1,000,000 back taxes on $3,000,000 worth of stock in the Western railway of Alabama, jointly by them. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. JULY 1. 1905. INVOKE COURTS For Probing Allied Crooked Work in Equitable Affairs. JEROME TO TAKE A HAND Governor Higgins, in Letter to New York District Attorney, Suggests Such Action—Case Without a The regular vacation of the court of general sessions in New York will be suspended this year so that the court may be available if District Attorney Jerome begins prosecution in connection with the affairs of the Equitable Life Assurance Society. This action was taken upon the request of District Attorney Jerome. District Attorney Jerome, in making his motion to suspend the court's vacation, said he had a letter from Governor Higgins, offering to place the evidence obtained by the superintendent of insurance, Hendricks, at Mr. Jerome's disposal. Mr. Jerome added: "It is my desire to have that evidence, and it is my intention to go through it very thoroughly. "The widespread attention called to this matter makes it mandatory on me to examine the whole affair. I am not in a position to know whether there has been a violation of the law, but it is my duty to find out. Before the governor addressed his letter to me I had the matter under consideration, having sent for a copy of the official report of the investigation. If may be that there is nothing in this affair to call for the action of this court! It is unusual for the governor to address such a letter as this to the district attorney, and it focuses public attention pon me. I have made arrangements with Justice Day of the criminal branch of the supreme court, and he will continue the June term of that court through the summer. The powers of both courts can, if necessary, be invoked. It will take me some time to learn whether I will need the assistance of the courts or not." Attorney Julius M. Meyer was at his office Friday engaged in going over the proceedings of the investigation of the Equitable Society. When asked how soon he would begin action against the Equitable officers scored in the Hendricks report, Mr. Meyer replied: "Action will be taken as soon as it is physically possible, and it will not be a matter of weeks, but of days early, before we will be ready. Not only have I got to go over the Hendricks report, but the testimony which preceded that report upon which the report is based." He was of an opinion that separate action would be taken, one for the restitution of the funds wrongfully elicited and another for the debarment proceedings against officers of the society. In commenting on this phase of the situation, Mr. Meyer said: "This is a novel action, and it is the first time in the history of the state of New York where a debarment proceedings against officials of insurance companies will have been taken. Under the insurance law the application of which has never yet been put in practice, the attorney general has power to debar officers of an insurance company who have been found derelict in their duty, and this debarment not only precludes them from holding positions as officers, but also debars them from acting as directors not only in the company from which they have been debarred, but from any other insurance company doing business within the confines of the state, and the attorney general is the one to enforce the action." Vesuvius Preparing for Business. The prefect of Naples has ordered the population in the vicinity of Mount Vesuvius to prepare to leave their houses, owing to an alarming increase in the discharges from the crater. SHERIF DEFIES GOVERNOR. Officer of Law Flatly Refuses to Raid Race Tracks. Governor Folk's order to stop race track gambling in Missouri, with the aid of the militia if necessary has temporarily met defeat at the hands of the sheriff of St. Louis county, John Herpel, who says he will not raid race tracks or call for troops, and that if the governor sends troops to molest any one, the soldiers will be arrested, possibly shot. Sheriff Harpel declared he was opposed to raids as a usurpation of the judicial authority BENJAMIN H. HILL AND JOSEPH E. BROWN. The recent lecture of Judge Emory Speer in Macon has served as a revival of interest in the life and services of Joseph E. Brown. And, upon the current of this renewed interest, it may not be out of place to prefer a few reflections and a few suggestions upon the life of this distinguished Georgian, and of other distinguished Georgians and of the uses we should make of our great men, living or dead. As the years roll away and we look back in retrospect upon the stirring and eventful periods of our history, we sometimes get in perspective a better, and larger, and a more accurate view of our public servants than we were able to obtain in the midst of the hurly-burly of political strife and recriminations which figure in their militant and aggressive careers. There is no doubt that Joseph E. Brown will go down in the thoughtful history of these times as one of the greatest Georgians of his generation. The world knows him in superficial fashion as a man of force and a man of wisdom, a consummate politician, and in his own vernacular as a man of "judgment." But those who have taken the pains as Judge Speer has done to look below the surface for the springs and the moving currents of his life, will realize that there was at least behind the public record of Joseph E. Brown a great heart and a great purpose which were worked out for the ultimate good of his day and generation. There was one among many things in Joe Brown's life which may well serve as a model for the aspiring young publicists of the present day. He was one of the truest friends that ever put hand in hand with a friend. He never forgot in prosperity the friends who served him in adversity. He never went back on a friend. He never failed to stand by a friend in an emergency as he asked a friend to stand by him in turn. And the man who estimates Joe Brown's life and record will fall far short of accuracy if he falls to place this quality among the secrets of his wonderful success. Many a man is willing to go his length for a friend if he knows that in time and in turn that friend will go his length for him, and this quality of loyalty was never discredited in the record of Joseph E Brown. It is a matter of more than ordinary surprise that so little in comparison with other public men has been preserved to commemorate this Georgian in the public records and in the public halls of the state. Occupying in turn every chair in the state administration, it is singular that there is nothing in the supreme court records to show that Joseph E. Brown was even a member of the bar of that body, whereas he was in fact at one time a chief justice of the state. It is even more singular that no portrait of him has been placed upon the waal's of the state capitol. Fortunately, it is not too late for this prosperous state to render tardy justice to the life and service of one of the greatest publicists who has lived within the present half-century. What ought to be done by Georgia is to place a duplicate statue of Joseph E. Brown in the capital of Georgia directly opposite the statue of Benjamin H. Hill. They were bitter enemies in their young lifetime, and were as complete antitheses as ever appeared in the public life of Georgia. Benjamin Hill was the incarnate orator, a matchless leader of opposition, a marvelous analyst, a dazzling statesman, and perhaps the most incomparable debater that Georgia has produced in all its splendid history. Benjamin Hill would have made a majestic leader of opposition in the English parliament. He was an advocate without a peer, and worthy of the intellect, not steel, of any foeman in the world. His gifts and graces were of that majestic and dazzling order which thrilled and dazzled the times about him. Joseph Brown belonged to the type of constructive statesmen; calm, practical, a balanced man of affairs, full of wisdom, full of expedient, and an unequalled developer, a fixed conservative, a marvelous counsellor and the safest and soundest of leaders. He was never an orator, but he was always convincing in his arguments, and his force almost invariably carried him and his causes to victory. Benjamin Hill and Joseph Brown represented as perhaps few other men ever did the antithetical types of Georgia greatness. They came from different strains of life. They saw things from the two sides of the great ridge of sentiment and environment that surrounded them, and yet they both moved majestically and surely towards that great sea of repute and memory in which the mighty trump of Georgia's great men have come from different lines and marched along varying pathways to illustrious fame. There are two mountain springs in Georgia: One in Nacoooche valley, on the road leading from Union county into that beautiful valley. We have forgotten whether that gap is called Uniocy or Tessendy gap, but by the side of the road on that mountain pass, and near its top, is a spring which is the headwaters of the Hlawssee river, and its little fountain runs down the mountain and bears its waters into the Tennessee, thence into the Ohio, thence into the great Mississippi, and thence into the Gulf of Mexico. Within a quarter of a mile there is another spring, which is the head-waters of the Chattahoochee. Its sparkling waters flow through that beautiful valley, and passing Atlanta, go on likewise into the great gulf at Pensacola. And these springs and streams typify the early lives of Benjamin Harvey Hill and Joseph Emerson Brown. They differed with the mountain chain between them, but they were one in the sea. In their younger days these great Georgians were as antagonistic as two mortals could be, and yet at the close of their lives Senator Hill wrote Senator Brown a letter in which he said: "It would have been better for us if we had known each other in our younger days, as we do now in our elder days. It would have been better for Georgia. Yes, I repeat it; it would have been better for our entire country." Differing like the waters of these mountain springs, these men finally got together as they neared the great gulf. Now, after all these great Georgians did for Georgia, what prettier tribute to them could be paid than to put their statues side by side in our splendid capitol, to name counties for them, one for Hill, one for Brown, one for Toombs and one for Stephens, and to inspire our youth with the object lesson of Georgia's remembrance for all her illustrious dead, and to show our young men that all differing convictions are merged in the mighty bosom of Georgia's fame.—Atlanta News. FUGITIVES' APPEAL QUASHED. Greene and Gaynor May Soon Appear Before Georgia Federal Court Before Georgia Federal Court. The Canadian supreme court Tuesday unanimously granted the motion made in behalf of the government of the United States to quash the appeal of Gaynor and Greene from the judgment of the court of Kings bench, affirming the refusal of a writ of prohibition by Judge Davidson against the issue of a warrant for extradition. The appeal was quashed with costs. The court of Kings bench of Quebec gave judgment in favor of handling over Gaynor and Greene to the United States government. Leave was then given to appeal to the supreme court of Ottawa against that decision. The supreme court has decided that there is no appeal and consequently the decision of the Quebec court to hand these men over stands. The case now goes back to the court of Kings bench. STATE OF SIEGE IN LODZ. Martial Law in Force and Strike Disorders Subsiding. Since the proclamation of martial law in Lodz, Russian Poland, the situation has become quieter. The rumor of an approaching massacre of Jews caused 20,000 Jews to leave the town. Scattered cases of rioting as a result of the insurrectionary spirit, however, continue. Business is at a standstill and all traffic has been stopped. The governor general has proclaimed a state of siege. The victims of last week's outbreak total over 1,200. Thus far the bodies of 543 Jews and 218 Christians have been buried. The wounded number over 700. WAR PARTY KNOCKED OUT. Elimination of Alexis Removes Last Stumbling Block. A belated St. Petersburg dispatch says: M. Witte had a long audience with the emperor on Tuesday. A prominent Russian statesman who is convinced that peace will be the outcome of the Washington meeting, is reported as saying: "Japan surely can no longer doubt the sincerity of the emperor's decision to conclude peace. Admiral Alexleff's retirement marks the final route of the war party. Should Japan refuse an armistice and force another big battle now, it would greatly endanger the prospects for peace." NO.39. RUSSAINS CUT OFF Rumor Says 70,000 are at Mercy of Japanese Forces. OYAMA STILL ADVANCING Heavy Blows Being Delivered on Both Front and Flanks—Report That General Kuropatkin Has Been Killed. A rumor spread throughout St. Petersburg Tuesday night that General Kuropatkin had been killed. This rumor was connected sometimes with a report that 70,000 Russians had been cut off by General Nogl's army and that Kuropatkin had been taken prisoner. A report receivelved in St. Petersburg Tuesday from General Linevitch indicates that the Japanese advance continues steadily, and that the Russian van posts, under pressure, are retiring, fighting. The military experts take anything but a hopeful view of General Linevitch's situation. They do not believe he can be surrounded, but apparently the experts do not consider the possibility of a Russian victory. Linevitch's retirement to Harbin and the isolation of Vladivostok seem to be regarded as foregone conclusions when Field Marshal Oyama strikes. According to the latest news from the front, which is thirty-six hours old, Oyama, after forcing the Russian right and center, transferred his weight against the left, compelling the Russians to give ground there also. Occasional heavy downpours of rain continue at the front. General Linevitch, in a dispatch to the emperor, dated June 26, reports outpost affairs on June 24, the Russians being driven in both south of the railway and the valley of Tsinhe. In the region of Hallunchen the Japanese resumed the offensive June 22, and attacked and drove back the Russian advance squadrons. SHEA OUSTED FROM OFFICE. Head of Teamsters' Union Loses His Scalp at Hands of Board. The Chicago Post prints the following: Formal removal of Internal President C. P. Shea of the Brotherhood of Teamsters has been decided upon by the international executive board. The anti-Shea leaders in the committee practically have voted to depose the leader. A "trial" has been held and President Shea has been found guilty of violating the constitution and by-laws of the teamsters' organization. There is no appeal from the action of the international committee. It is planned to promptly announce the finding of "guilty" and to declare the office of president vacant until Shea's successor shall be elected at Philadelphia in August. For weeks the international board has opposed Shea and his methods. Fear that the move to depose the leader would make him a "martyr" among the rank and file and insure his re-election as president caused members of the board to postpone their action. Monday night's unequivocal vote of the department store drivers and the striking express wagon drivers and against accepting the latest settlement of the employers and the palpable return to power of Leader Shea, so far as the rank and file of the teamsters is concerned, determined the board to act. The specific charges against Shea is calling a strike contrary to the constitution and making expenditures of the brotherhood's money contrary to the terms of the constitution and by-laws. The board members do not charge Mr. Shea with dishonesty in handling the union funds, simply that his orders brought about expenditures that had to be made on account of calling a strike illegally. BIG BLAZE IN NASHVILLE. Flames Sweep Retail Shopping District of Tennessee Metropolis. Fire in the retail shopping district of Nashville, Tenn., Sunday, caused damage estimated at between $500,000 and $650,000. The flames were discovered in the Palace, a big department store, occupied by Harris Brothers and Jacobus Brothers, at the southwest corner of Fifth avenue and Union street. Their spread was rapid and before they were finally gotten under control eight large business houses were in ashes. PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY, BY THE TRIBUNE PUBLISHING CO 116 W. St. Julian Street.

SATURDAY, JULY 1, 1905. ANOTHER raid was made on Wednesday on the policy shops. This great blot upon the city should be wiped out. EVERY lynching bee cost Georgia thousands of dollars and great loss of prestige. It degrades the lynchers and brutalizes the community. GEORGIA has again brutalized itself by the lynching of seven colored men and one white man at Watkinsville. Those men were only suspects and no doubt each one of them innocent of the crimes charged. Mr. Hoke Smith comes out against the Negro. He wants them to be disfranchised, Mr. Smith thinks this a popular platform to stand upon to win the governorship. He has been looked upon as a liberal minded man, but the reverse is being proven. Brutal Murder of Father and Two Sons. Last week the daily papers mentioned the killing of several colored men at Clyo, Ga, by white men and claimed that it was done in self-defense. THE TRIBUNE has been reliably informed that it was not self-defense but it was murder in the coldest blood. The information comes that on Thursday of last week, a colored man named Jeffrey Taylor and his two sons and daughter were at work on the Crompton Brothers' plantation near Clyo. The sun was beaming and very hot. The men were ordered to rush with their plowing which were hard on the men and mules. The men did not comply with the harsh orders of the foreman who threatened the elder Taylor with the lash. The foreman informed the owners, who went to the field and carried their farming implements, etc., home. Arriving there they loaded their buggies with rifles etc., and drove one mile to old man Taylor's house. They called one of the sons and shot him dead and afterwards shot the father and other son who died later. These men men were shot down within the enclosure of their home. The only surviving son who witnessed the tragedy leaped the fence under hot fire of the Crompton guns and disarmed one of them and turned the weapon over afterwards. Young Taylor said that he could have killed young Crompton but rather let the law take its course. At the coroner's inquest, requests were made that colored men be placed on the jury, this was denied with the assertion that "it was against the law to have colored men on the coroner's jury." The report last week stated that the colored men attacked the white men, which is refuted above and showed that the colored men were killed a mile away from the Crompton home, and within the enclosure of their home and killed because they refused to perform an inhuman task. The men who committed this grave crime were acquitted by the coroner's jury, and they are among those who are boasted as the Negro's best friends; God pity such friends (? It is such crimes as these why farmers have so much trouble in securing efficient farm hands. The coroner's jury may acquit the white men, but upon them and their p.ogeny retribution will be.visited by One who punishes all crimes. Glenwood Dots. There was almost a tornado three miles from here, Sunday evening last. It damaged a great deal of timber and scattered lots of fence. Mr. and Mrs. Jim Choats are visiting, relatives in Macon Ga.

Blue of Valambrosa, Ga., is visiting her parents Mr. and Mrs. Joe Brown. They welcome her with much joy. Miss Eva Powell left for Rhine, Ga., last Sunday where she will spend a short while with her sister Mrs. Amanada Wright. The Masons here celebrated St. John's Day with the Masons at Alley and just made a great big time. Two papers were read in behalf of the O. E S. Mr. Johnnie Jones gave Miss Lelah Tucker a pop call Sunday evening last. Miss Carrie R. Thomas of Ochwalkee, Ga., will be the guest of Misses Lela B. and Bessie Mason to morrow. Masonic Notes. Last Sunday was observed as St. John's day all over the state. St. John's day all over the state. The local Lodges had an appropriate program which was carried out at the auditorium of their temple on west Gwinnett street. One of the features was the excellent singing of the select choir under the management of Bro. Burgess. Bro. J. W. Armstrong of Pythagoras Lodge made a timely talk which was well received. The paper by Mrs. J. C. Miller of Electa Chapter, O. E. S. was a thoughtful one and elicited hearty applause, Bro. Duncan J. Scott of Eureka Lodge gave a historical talk on the occasion celebrated and imparted to the brethren many facts not known by them. The brethren were very much pleased with his address. The speaker was introduced by P. G. M., J. H. Deveaux who took the occasion to say many good things about the progress of the order. Rev. W. D. Johnson, Jr. D. D. of Americus delivered the addresses which was brimful of good things from beginning to end and presented in a fluent and eloquent manner at the conclusion of which he was given a vote of thanks and extended the usual honors. The Grand Secretary acted as master of ceremonies. There was a large crowd in attendance. The excursion next day to Beaufort was a pleasant and successful affair. Blazing Star Lodge had quite a celebration of the day on Sunday last. A fine sermon was preached by Rev. C. B Frazier and an oration by Bro. J. Sermon and remarks by W. M., R. H. Hinds. Bro. Chaney and the loyal members of Blazing Star are still holding up the banner of Free Masonry. Western Star Lodge at Capitola was addressed by Bro., J. A. Lockette. It is known that they had an enjoyable time. Sumner Lodge at Baxley, one of the most loyal Lodges in the state and containing some of the best men had a big time on Saturday. Bro Johnson gave them a talk that they will not soon forget. Each delegate must give his Lodge a full report of the Grand Lodge proceedings. Let them tell the brethren the glorious time that was had in Americus so that all can gain incentive therefrom. It is a great privilege to be a Mason and all who have its secrets should be proud of it and remain loyal to the cause. Permit me space to speak a few words for Fairfield Chapter in its struggles to be numbered among the other chapters. Our membership is small though it is now increasing. The members are taking great interest in the chapter to make it the banner chapter of the state. The chapter was graced last Friday evening by Mrs. Mary L Walker, G. L. of the order of O E S. She ascended the throne in her usual manner and lectured on the several degrees. This visit gave more yim to Fairfax. Mrs. Walker is a lady of great extensive ability. The Grand Chapter could not have made a better selection to the position. She is a model woman and all whom she come in contact with was won by her amiable disposition. She arrived from Macon Friday afternoon and went directly to the Hall where she was met by the P. R. M., Mrs. M. A Andrews, and P. R., Bro. F. S. Andrews who introduced her to the chapter. After the lecture she conferred the Amaranth degree upon two candidates. She is well versed in laws, lectures and ceremonies of the chapter. After the chapter closed she was escorted to the home of Mr. and Mrs. F. S. Andrews. She was tendered a reception, Rev. T. M. Easter, was toast master. The guests were Rev. T. M. Easter; Mrs. Cillia Smith, Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Ford, Mrs. Etta Wallace, Miss Adel Gay, Miss Ella McLoud. Music was rendered by Miss Adel Gay. Come again Mrs. Walker F. S. ANDREWS. Ben is for Ben Only BETTS FOR BETTS The following speaks for itself and shows how some of our journals are conducted for personal interest only; Atlanta, Ga., June 26, 1905 MR. SOL. C. JOHNSON, EDITOR; Dear Sir: Enclosed find a small article that I furnished the Atlanta Independent last week with the request that they publish the same. It was addressed to B J Davis, the Editor, when it failed, to come out in last Saturday's issue I called him up over the 'phone and asked him why the article did not appear. He informed me that it was because I wrote on the envelope "personal," I then asked him if he would publish it next week. He stated that he did not have room for it and that I had better select some other paper. If convenient will you kindly give space in your paper that you desire. I remain fraternally yours. MORGAN WILLIAMS, Delegate, from Pride of Ga. Lodge No. 1553. Following is the Article: "Atlanta, Ga. June 20, '05 Hon B. J. Davis, Editor. Dear Sir: Please allow me space in your valuable paper to name my choice for the office of D. G. S. as I have heard expression for every officer, but only one name has been mentioned for D. G. S. I nominate as my choice a brother in the person of G W. Bowen of Eastman, Ga., a brother that needs no introduction into the order, a brother who for the past eight or ten years has been a regular attendant to the D. G. L. although I have not consulted him that the order wants him and the order should have him. MORGAN WILLIAMS." Local Notes. The services were delightful on Sunday last at the First Bryan Baptist Church. Baptism, communion, and financial matters were alright. We were glad to have Rev J. W. Carr, D. D, Rev. H. Maxwell and others with us. Mr. E J. Thomas of Macon spent several days in the city, the guest of the popular Mr. Henry B Wright. His visit was out short by a hurried summons from home. Mr. Thomas is a corporal in one of the troops in the Ninth Cavalry and has seen much service. While here he made a number of friends. Mr. W. H. Bing, one of the oldest coachmen of the city who has been sick for four weeks departed this life June 19th. He leaves a wife, Mrs. Sarah Bing, a son, Mr. Walter Bing, four daughters, Misses Mary U., Louisa Sabina Bing, Mrs. Ida Mitchell and one sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Nelson, besides other relatives and friends to mourn his death. The Annual Convention of the G U O of U. L Association will convene at Duffy street hall on Monday morning next at 9 o'clock by Grand Master Smith. Public exercises until 2 o'clock. All of the local links will attend the Union Baptist Church in a body on Sunday night. This association is doing a good work bringing into union several societies of this section. Mr. J. H Harris is the Grand Secretary. Mr. A. P. Williams, Jr., one of Savannah's coming young men is home for the summer, Mr. Williams matriculated at Lincoln University, Penn., and is among the top notches of his class. His hard work as a student, his wonderful ability as an orator, has won for him many bitter contested honors. From among many worthy ones, he was selected to deliver the Rabble oration for the Sophomore's fraternal advent. The fraternity flag, pins, costumes and banquet were rated by the local press and critics present as being the finest ever seen in that famous University; as was also the Rabble oration, which was said to be the most class cal production of its kind ever heard at Lincoln University. Mr. Williams also brings to Savannah the honor of having been selected to represent the Philosophian Lyceum in the Sophomore's contest, in which he was awarded the gold medal for his wonderful oratory, subject of which was "There is light behind the clouds." We wish for him a pleasant vacation among his many young friends of this city. Died in this city, on the afternoon of the 23rd inst., at 5:15 o'clock, our loving and well beloved mother, Laura Singleton Williams, the subject of this obituary was born in Sylvania, Screven county, Georgia in 1851, came to this city in 1864, was adopted into the family of Rev. J. M. Simms, and his elder sister, Mrs Ann G. Boughs. She became happily converted to Christ Jesus April 1861, and received into the First African Baptist church under the pastorate of Rev. Wn J. Campbell, also a member of the society of that name, a benevolent institution of that church who in a body attended 'her funeral last Sunday from the church, solmenized by the pastor. Revs. Simms, Blair and Johnson, with a large number of the members and friends were present. She has left bereaved besides a devoted husband Fitzhugh Williams, who was married to her July 10th 1872, six children, Mrs. Anna C. Cohen, Fitzhugh Williams, Jr., Aaron J. Williams, Miss Susie Williams, George and Mary Ellen Williams, four sisters and three grand children among whom is Miss Naomi Williams, who deeply mourn her absence from them, though well assured of her eternal salvation. Sweet be thy rest dear mother until by and by our Lord in his goodness and mercy, shall unite us again never to be separated, is the prayer of her loving children. Mr. Wm. F. G. Sherman, president of the Allen Christian Endeavor League of St. Philips Monumental Church will leave on Tuesday for Baltimore, Md. He will be accompanied by Rev E J. Gregg, Secretary of Allen C. E. League of A M. E. Church. There will be 15,000 delegates present at this convention representing every country and denomination in the world. The program has been arranged with great care. Bishop B. W. Arnett, Dr. E. J. Gregg and Mr. Sherman represent the A. M. E. church on the program. While away Mr. Sherman will visit Washington, Richmond, Boston, Philadelphia. We are sure he will give a good account of himself at the convention. Sunday Club. The Men's Sunday club held its usual meeting Sunday afternoon. Special music was rendered by the Hayden Quartette. The subject before the club was "Negro Education in Chatham County" which was by Mr. E. W. Houstoun. It was without doubt the most interesting and thorough investigation which has been reported to the club. Every person present felt delighted because of the excellent preroration of the speaker. Because of the lateness of the hour and the importance of the subject further consideration was deferred until Sunday July 2. At which time Mr. E. W. Houstoun will again present the subject. By the use of charts the facts were clearly displayed, and showed by comparisons, the difference between the advantages offered to white and Negro children. The importance of education is universally recognized. And for any people to advance they must have educational advantages. The Negro of this community is shamefully neglected. We should have more facilities. The Board of Education is contemplating the destruction of the Barnard Street school when it is better than any school building the Negro has. Does not the West Broad St-terd school need tearing down more than the Barnard? Every Negro who wants to be a man and wants his children to be educated, should be deeply interested in the subject. And if he is interested he will attend the Men's Sunday Club next Sunday afternoon at the Masonic Temple. Second Baptist Church. On Sunday last the weather was close and extremely warm. The regular church going people, and lovers of sweet and sacred singing were disposed to stay away from church and seek the cool resorts around home. Rev. S.H. Smith to the delight of his audience conducted a short service at 11 o'clock. At night old sol had disappeared and a larger audience greeted the pastor. Instrumental and Vocal Institution.

VERYBODY said it was a mistake when the minister sent his daughter to college; now, for the first time, Anne asked herself if it had not been so indeed. The boks and magazines will belong to everybody." "Well, I don't say but what a good many of us would be glad and willing to pay that much for reading matter and a good fashion paper." said Mrs. VERKYBODY said it was a mistake when the minister sent his daughter to college; now, for the first time, Anne asked herself if it had not been so indeed. "Even the loss of college I could stand," thought Anne; "but it's the deadly stagnation. I believe it is what is keeping mother from getting well. If we even had reading matter, books, magazines—" She stopped, remembering with a pang that the new books and periodicals which used to find their way into the little parsonage were never seen there now. For the first time she realized fully what her college education had cost her parents. Mr. and Mrs. Gray were not East- over people by birth, and perhaps had never fully adapted themselves to life in so small a town. It had not even a library, but depended upon its large neighbor, six miles away, for mental supplies of all kinds. The people were kindly, bright, shrewd New England folk, but wotfully limited in their range of interests, Anne thought. "I am afraid they like me better than I shall ever like them," she said to herself now. "There comes Mrs. Hammond, and father in the midst of his sermon! I must head her off." She reached the door in time to open it to the visitor, a stout, round-faced woman. "Come right in. Mrs. Hammond," said Anne, cordially. "There's a nice little fire for mother." "The truth is, I came to ask a favor, Anne," said the visitor, after greeting Mrs. Gray. "My Malvina's been asked to a party over to Millbank, and we thought we'd fix up her foulard. Malvina remembered you had the new fashion books, so I stepped over to borrow them." "Yes," said Anne. "I have. Lois' my chum—and I used to make all our clothes at college, and we found the patterns a help. I'll get them now." "While you're about it," called Mrs. Hammond, "can't you bring down something for old Miss' Wood? I pass right by, and can just as well as not stop and hand it in. I told her I'd ask." "How fond she is of books!" exclaimed Anne. "I've lent her half a dozen already. I'll see what I can find." Up-stairs, she sat down before the little row of bookshelves, which were her chief treasure. "Mrs. Smith has Ivanhoe, or the old lady would like that. 'Pickwick Papers'—I believe that will suit her. How these people do borrow books! I declare, two-four-five are out now!' Down-stairs she found the little party augmented by one—a boy, who stood blushing and turning his cap in his hands. "Please, Miss Anne," he said, "it's hard keeping Will amused, and mother said maybe you'll lend us your natural history book." "Why, you've had that book once, Jim," said Anne. "I know," replied Jim, hanging his head, "but Will likes it better'n anything else—if you don't mind." "Of course I don't. What a pity I haven't some others!" she thought, as she ran up-stairs again. Somewhere between the lowest stair and the upper landing Anne had an idea. "Mrs. Hammond," she said, when she came into the room again. "I am going to charge you ten cents-five for the magazines and five for the book." "For the land's sake!" gasped that lady, dropping the pile from her lap and staring. "Anne!" exclaimed a voice from the soft. "That's the price. Jimmy, here's the book. Run home and tell your mother she may keep it a week for five cents, and say I will come over and explain." "For goodness—" Mrs. Hammond gasped again. "Anne! Anne!" expostulated her mother. Anna sat down and laughed heartily. "I've just had an idea, Mrs. Hammond," she said. "You see, ever since I can remember people have been borrowing father's books, and even since I came home they have been borrowing mine." "Oh, of course, if you don't want us to—" began Mrs. Hammond, in deeply hurt tones. "Anne, you know your father delights in lending" remonstrated Mrs. Gray. "Not a bit more than I do. Just let me explain. Father's library is completely 'read out,' and mine soon will be, and the worst thing about this town is that there's no way of getting anything else. Millbank might as well not have a library, so far as we are concerned. Few of us can afford to buy the new books and magazines, but almost all of us could afford to pay five cents a week for the privilege of reading them. I happen to have these books just now—some of them were required in our college course, and some the girls gave me, and the mothers of those I tutored. Now if I charge a little for lending these I can subscribe for a few more, and with that money I can still get others, and," she went on with growing inspiration, "I'll be librarian, and we'll turn this into a library, because it is so central for all. The boks aid, magazines will belong to everybody." "Well, I don't say but what a good many of us would be glad and willing to pay that much for reading matter and a good fashion paper," said Mrs. Hammond, cautiously. "I can answer for myself, for one, but I don't see what you make out of it, Anne?" "You don't? Anne began, impulsively; then, as her eye caught her mother's full of comprehension, she laughed. "Why, I shall make most of all. Come, Mrs. Hammond, you will help, won't you? And I shall get father to interest the whole patish. Why, if people will really take hold—" "I declare," said Mrs. Hammond, with rising excitement, "it might be a real good idea! I'll talk about it to Mis' Wood." "Perhaps she will subscribe, too," said Anne, blithely. She fairly danced back into the room and took her mother's thin hands. "Now, it's no use to say one word, you darling mother. You are just going to take hold with me and help save this town, and incidentally your daughter's reason." "Hay it been as as bad as that, Anne?" asked her mother, holding her hands fast. Anne replied only with an eloquent kiss, and flew off to knock gently at her father's door. The three had a long talk that night. Anne's plan was variously received by Eastover. The minister's college-bred daughter was a person to be treated with consideration, but there were a few souls who fell it necessary to "put her in her place," if only for her fault of youth. Anne's cheeks burned after interviews with these. Women from, outside the parish called at the parsonage to ask about the new enterprise, and there was soon a list of advance subscriptions for a starting fund. Anne became submerged in clubbing rates. She invited all who chose to send lists, and then was agast at her own daring; but it was both a surprise and encouragement to see the class of literature called for in response. "It gives me a new insight into my own people," said the minister, thoughtfully. "Can't you have one good. farming paper, Miss Anne?" asked a grizzled farmer, stopping in the street. "I'll give fifty cents toward it." "I'll try, at least, Mr. Edwards," said Anne, covially. She transported her book shelves bodily into the sitting room—henceforth the library"—and catalogued with energy. "Some of the rest of us might lend volumes," suggested Mrs. Denim, the rich woman of the place, who was commonly considered to "hold herself apart." "That would be splendid!" said Anne. The next day a box of books appeared, with a five-dollar bill "for the starting fund." "Magnificent!" laughed Anne. Best of all to her it was to see the color come back to her. Gray's cheeks and the strength to her voice. "The library" made a wonderful break in the colorless village life; it became quite the thing to "drop in and see if there was anything new," and then to linger, fire or six at a time, exchanging books and opinions. "Mother is the real librarian," said Anne, laughingly, stooping to stroke the thin chin. "It was just the lack of ozone in the mental atmosphere from which you were suffering." But the little library could not keep abreast of Anne's ambitions. Subscriptions paid up, she foresaw a lack of fresh material. "I will give a series of entertainments for its benefit!" she declared. "Father will let us have the resty, I know." A book party, in which each person appeared as a book to be guessed, proved so successful that a series of "Writers' Evenings" followed, a book at a time being represented. They produced a run upon the standard fiction and stirred literary interest to the highest. Anne mentally contrasted these gatherings with the "sociables" of dismal memory. "I started to benefit the library," she remarked, "but I think it has benefited the people more. It is wonderful how they are blossoming out—and I had no idea what bright people they are." Meanwhile the Gray family found itself in the case of the fisherman who raised the afrit. It was seldom the little sitting room was left to them for half an hour, and the shelves and the reading table, successfully ventured by Anne, fairly drove the legitimate inhabitants into the minister's study. "The library is going to move," announced Anne, with firmness, one spring day. "It has become quite as much a club as a library, and it is going to have a house of its own." "My child!" remonstrated the minister, gently, while Mrs. Gray, once more at the head of the table, smiled across it at her daughter. "I'm going to ask Mr. Chadwick what he will let us have that big unused harness shop next to his place for," said Anne. Mr. Chadwick was a well-to-do carriage maker, and a good supporter of the library. "It leaks, Anne," he said, and as is cold in Iceland in winter. You are welcome to the use of the building for the present—and always, as far as I can see. But it won't help you much, I'm afraid." Anne pursued her way to the carpenter shop. "Mr. Smith, will you give me the lowest possible figure for mending that roof—for the library?" "I'll send one of my men up to see what can be done," he said. "You may have the lumber at cost price. As for the work, it won't cost you anything. The children are getting full as much out of that library as they do out of their school." Then Anne selected the psychologic moment, when six of the energetic ladies were gathered in the room, to lay her plan before them. They kindled instantly to her generous cowl. "There's no denying 'twould be a great thing to have a place where you could rest and meet folks, and read," said one, "but I kind of hate to change—this is so homelike. Must be dreadful tiresome for you and Miss Gray, though." "We will make the other just as homelike," said Anne. "It will be a kind of club, as well. I've thought of making a children's table, as they do in the cities, and having some lectures next winter. I never saw such bookish children as these are—and bright! I am going to give myself a regular course, and take one of these clever girls to help me." "I declare," said Mrs. Hammond. "I've read about these women's clubs, but I never thought to belong to one." "It is a capital idea," said Mrs. Denulm, quietly. "I will furnish a rug and table, Anne." After that it was wonderful how much they found to give; it became a matter of public pride. Tables, shelves, chairs, a clock—even one or two fine photographs from Mrs. Denlin's walls—came as lighy magic, and when all was complete the library was formally thrown open to the masculine public for admiration. Anne displayed with pride the businesslike arrangements to a dozen of the most intelligent and influential citizens. To be sure, the books were but a few hundred, but these were well-chosen and classified; the children's table and table for "grownups" bore each a few of the best magazines and weeklies, and the men looked with approval at the two great newspapers, and the scientific and agricultural papers which Anne had placed in full evidence. "So many of you gentlemen have a moment while you are waiting for horses to be shod or something, and a good many of our boys have a noon hour—this is so central, you can all drop in here and run over the papers," said Anne, artfully. "It is a credit all though, Anne," said Mr. Chadwick, "but the old harness shop looks a little shabby outside." "It won't long," Anne responded. "Where is this to end?" asked Mr. Denim, with a smile. "I really don't know," said Anne, frankly. "It is like a gathering snowball." "Dear Lois," she wrote that night before going to bed, "thank you for the invitation, but I can't possibly leave—not mother, but the library. Come down instead this summer and help me organize my athletic teams." And Lois came. Two or three others of the class came with her. It got about that there were "advantages" at Eastover—tennis, golf, basketball, libraries and more—and several rich Millbank families applied for board at the farmhouses. "With our hills and lake and air we ought to have been a summer resort long age," said Mr. Gray. "Most people have an instinctive aversion to premature interment," said Anne, demurgey. "That stood in our way." It was the briefest and happiest summer she had ever spent. At its close Anne received a note, asking her to call at Mr. Denim's office. "I sent for you, Miss Anne," he said, "to lay before you two propositions. I will state my own first. I know that your father has had unusual expenses. If you wish to return to college, I shall be happy to become your creditor for any sum necessary." Anne caught her breath and her eyes grew bright. The merchant watched her curiously. "Thank you, Mr. Denim," she said, after a moment. "May I hear the other proposition?" "At a meeting of the town council the value of your efforts here was recognized. It was decided to subsidize your library and offer a modest salary to the librarian, on condition that the present incumbent retains the post for at least two years." This time, after a glance at Anne, the merchant looked suddenly down at his papers. "Thank you," she said, in a clear, resolute tone. "I accept the second proposition." "You are willing to throw away your college advantages?" "They are not thrown away. It was there I learned the value of organization. But this is a large university, I have quite decided to train myself for library work. If I need a diploma for that I will go and get it—some day. For the present I will stay here." Mr. Denim rose and held out his hand. "It was also decided to offer you a vote of thanks," he said, and somehow Anne knew/that she had not displeased him. She sat that night looking long into the fire with shining eyes. "What are you seeing, Anne?" asked her father, at last. "Eastover—the centre of the social universe," she answered, promptly, looking up at both parents with a happy laugh—Youth's Companion.

AMBURG, as many know, is the great headquarters of the trade in wild animals for menageries and "zooes." TO Hamburg are shipped Icons, elephants AMBURG, as many know, is the great headquarters of the trade in wild animals for menageries and "zooes." TO Hamburg are shipped lions, elephants and giraffes, captured in South and East Africa, tigers from India, jaguars and tapirs from South America, gorillas from the Congo, orang-utans from Borneo, and, in fact, about every kind of beast, bird and reptile from all quarters of the globe. The Warehouses of the two principal firms engaged in this business are interesting places to visit after the arrival of a "beast ship" with new unusually large specimens of animal life. The narrator made such a visit a few weeks since, on the arrival of a remarkably large, brilliantly marked python, shipped from Padang, Sumatra. This cubiture giant was bespoken by the Austrian government for a zoo at Budapest. But the story of its capture is even more interesting that the huge creature itself, for this python had fallen a victim to its fondness for the notes of a violin. There is a telegraph line extending across Sumatra, from Padang, connecting that port, by means of submarine calls, with Batavia and Singapore. Along this line of land are a number of interior stations. One of these, called Pall-lep-pon, has been in charge of an operator named Carlos Gambino, a mestizo from Batavia, educated at the industrial school there. The station is on a hillock in the valley of the river Kampar, and is adjacent to dense forest, jungle and a long morass. It is a solitary little place, consisting merely of four or five thatched huts, elevated on posts to a height of six feet from the ground, to be more secure from the noxious insects, reptiles and wild beasts. The station is at the junction of two native roads, or trails, along which the interior trade of the island is conducted after a desultory fashion; and as a rule Gambrino has little enough to do, except listen to the tickling of the instrument, monotonously repeating messages to remote points in which he can feel little interest. For solace and company, therefore, he frequently has recourse to his violin. Thatched houses on posts in Sumatra are not commonly supplied with glass windows; but Gambrino had afforded himself the luxury of a two-pane sash, set to slide in an aperture in the side wall of his hut, and some five or six months ago, during the wet season, he was sitting at this window one afternoon, as he played his violin, when he saw the head of a large serpent rise out of the high grass, at a distance of seventy or eight yards. His first impulse was to get his carbine and try to shoot the monster, for he saw that it was a very large peltion, and not a desirable neighbor. But something in the attitude of the reptile led him to surmise that it had raised itself to hear the violin, and he passed at once to a lively air. As long as he continued playing the python remained there, apparently motionless; but when he ceased it drew its head dow, and he saw nothing more of it that day, although he went out with his gun to look for it. Nearly a fortnight passed, and the incident had gone from his mind—for large snakes are not uncommon in Sumatra—when one night, as he was playing the violin to some native acquaintances who had come to the hut, they heard the sounds made by a large snake sliding across the bamboo platform or floor of the little veranda. On looking out with a light, one of the party saw a huge, mottled python gliding away. But it was not until the reptile appeared a third time, raising its head near his window, that the telegrapher became certain that it was really his violin which attracted it. In the meantime the operator at Patang, with whom Gambrino held daily conversations by wire, had told him that the German agent of a Hamburg house at that port would pay ten pounds, English money, for such a python as he described. Gambrino began scheming to capture the reptile. In one of the huts at the station there was stored a quantity of fiber rope, such as is used in Sumatra for bridging small rivers and ravines. Gambrino contrived three large nooses from this rope, which he elevated horizontally, on bamboo poles, to the height of his window, and carried the drawing ends of the nooses inside the hut. This was done after the operator has ascertained that at times the snake would come about the house and raise its head if it heard the violin. Some time later the python was beguiled by the music into raising its head inside one of the mooses, which a native, who was on the watch while Gambrino played, instantly jerked fight. What followed was exciting. The reptile resented the trick with vigor, and showed itself possessed of far more strength than they had expected. The rope had been made fast to a beam, inside, and the snake nearly pulled the entire structure down, making it rock and creak in a way that caused Gambrino and his native ally to leap to the ground in haste from a back entrance. The reptile coiled its body about the posts and pulled desperately to break away. Altogether. It was a wild night at this little remote telegraph station. The next morning a crowd of natives collected; and as the python had by this time exhausted itself, they contrived to hoist its head as high as the roof of the hut and to secure its tail. It was then lowered into a molasses hogshead, which was covered over and trussed up securely with ropes. In this condition the python was drawn to Padáng on a bullock cart.

It is probable, therefore, that the four mountain-lions which besieged Mr. J. H. Camp for four days and nights in a cabin in the upper San Gabriel country, California, were starving. It was a terrifying experience; like the San Francisco Examiner tells it, for Camp's only companion in misery was a burro, and his means of defense a revolver and a limited quantity of ammunition. Camp had gone to the mubutali cabin to prepare it for the reception of several hunters, and during his stay alone had heard the cry of wildcats and the screech of panthers. He had not seen any of the animals until one day when he was cutting away some brush on the trail near the cabin he heard a twig snap in front of him. Looking up, he beheld a huge lion right in the centre of the trail, switching its tail menacingly. Camp was filled with terror, but instinctively his hand, sought his hip pocket, in which reposed his revolver. As he drew it another lion walked out of the brush, and behind it were two smaller ones, probably cubs. Blazing wildly away with the revolver, Camp greata a momentary diversion that allowed him to reach his cabin. Rushing inside, he barred the door and reloaded his revolver, determined to frighten away the brutes if possible. As he looked out he saw his burro snorting and tugging at his tether, one of the tawny brutes having already begun to creep up on him. With a plunge the burro broke loose and rushed for shelter, with the lion after him. Camp opened the door just long enough to admit the frightened burrow, which shot in as if launched from a catapult. Throwing his weight against the door, Camp barred it again. He had plenty of provisions, and decided to remain quiet for a time, hoping that the lions would go away. Knowing that they are usually cowardly brutes, he was at a loss to account for their daring action except on the theory that it might be a pair with their cubs. He made the burro comfortable, and was glad of his company, and then took a look to see if the lions were still there. They were watching. All day Sunday at least one was in sight, and Camp decided to lie low. On the next day and the next conditions were the same. On the fourth morning Camp cautiously peered out. The lions were not in sight. He hurriedly saddled the burro, mounted, and turned the little beast toward civilization. The burro needed no urging, and Camp was congratulating himself on his escape when a piercing screech came from the trail behind. The lions had discovered his departure, and were in pursuit. There was only one thing to do—beat the lions to civilization. Camp accepted the terms. So did the terrified little burro, which for once, at least, galloped like a race horse. Never was the descent to Lordstburg made in such time, and when Camp and his burro reached the town both were exhausted, the one from fright, the other from the hard ride. - THE LIGHT BRIGADE. That the charge of the Light Brigade seemed to onlookers a piece of magnificent folly is evident from all reminiscences of that day. First came the attack of the Heavy Brigade upon three thousand Russian cavalry. Then, later in the day, the attempt to recapture seven guns taken from the Turks by the Russians in their first advance upon the redoubts led to the charge of the Light Brigade. "When we saw the English coming at us," says a Russian soldier, "there was but one thought. What fools! we said. We never dreamed they would charge." Ivan Ivanovitch, a Russian survivor of the day, says in his "Recollections: "We were so sorry for them. They were fine soldiers, and had such fine horses. But the charge-it was the maddest thing ever done. We could not understand it. I had been in the charge by the Heavy Brigade in the morning, and was wounded. We had all unsaddled and were tired. Suddenly there was a cry, 'The English are coming!' "Our colonel was angry, and ordered the men to give no quarter. "I was lying down with my wound bandaged when I saw them coming. We thought they were drunk, from the way they held their lances. Instead of carrying them under their armpits they waved them in the air. Of course, they were easier to guard against like that. "Those men were mad, and never seemed to think of the tremendous numbers against them, nor of the fearful slaughter that had taken place in their ranks during that desperate ride. Then they neared us, and dashed in amongst us, shouting, cheering and cursing. I never saw anything like it. They were irresistible, and our men were quite demoralized." The smallest police station in England is at the town of Fishguard, in Pembrokeshire, the building being only about ten feet square. A theatre in the open air will be established at Champigny, near Paris. A REMARKABLE NEGRO WAS BENJ. BANNEKER. Tho "Black Astronomer" Who thiped L'Enfant Lay Out Washi- ton: City of Magnificent Distances Much has been said recently in regard to fittingly commemorating the services Pierre L'Enfant rendered the national capital when he laid out Washington and made it a "cirs of honorific distances." A contributor to the New York Sun suggests that if such honor is to be paid to the architect, his associate in the undertaking must not be forgotten. A Maryland negro, Benjamin Banneker, known as "the black astronomer," was called upon to assist L'Enfant, and so satisfactory was his work that the commission fethined him until the service was accomplished. Banneker was born in 1731. He had an industrious and thriving father, who left him in possession of a snug little farm. The boy grew up, working by day and studying by night. He was largely self-taught, and took delight in working out the most abstruse mathematical problems, and writing the answers in rime. He also had a mechanical genius, and constructed a wooden clock without ever having seen one, his only guide being a watch. Many of his nights were spent in the open air, lying on the ground and observing the movements of the statis. Hidided, so exact were his calculations that he not only made an almanac himself, but he corrected some slight errors which occurred in Ferguson's and Leadbetter's calendars: The only time when Banneker left his home for any distance or length of time was when he served on the Washington commission in 1789. The members of the commission were much pleased with him, both personally and professionally. A pleasant picture is left of this much-respected negro. He never married, living alone on his little farm, cooking his own food and doing his own washing. He was a fine looking man in his habitual suit of gray cloth, and his broad brimmed beaver hat. His nature was kind, hospitable and humane. Oud of his freqliquit saying is preserved in his own handwriting. "It is said that 'evil communications corrupt good manners.' I hope to live to hear that good communications correct bad manners." This worthy man had one great falling-his love for strong drink. While in the Washington commission he did not allow himself to taste liquor. "I feared to trust myself even with wine" he said. "lest it should steal away any little sense I have." No one realized the degradation of his habit more than he, and he finally overcame it. While the funeral services of Benjamin Banneker were being held at the grave, his little house caught fire, and burned up with every specimen of his ingenuity and scholarship. His best work, however, will last as long as Washington retains its fine avenues. Shooting Mountain Sheep. The mountain sheep will stand more punishment than any big game animal I have ever hunted. I could give many instances of sheep having traveled long distances under frightful conditions, but it would not make pleasant reading. I have seen the large brown bear of the Bering Sea lie dowell from wounds that would have only helped to increase a sheep's speed. Two prospectors on the Stikline headwaters had an unusual experience with a large Stoneel ram. They saw it feeding on a grassy plateau and made a careful stalk. Within easy ring range one of the men shot it with a 45.90: It paid no attention to the shot, and stood quietly looking at them as they approached. On examination they found that the heavy bullet had struck at the base of the horn. The ram behaved in a perfectly natural way, except that it showed no fear. After tying a pack-strap to its horns they led it to their camp, where being in need of meat, they shot it.-B. H. Brown, in Recreation. Trembled For Papa's Safety Jennie's father is a preacher, so whether she wishes it or not, Jennie is dragged to church every Sunday morning. As a rule she finds more food for reflection during these orders in the multi-colored angels over the altar than in her father's sermons, but on a recent Sunday his opening sentence threw even the angels into the shade. "Let him who is without sin among you be first to cast a stone," announced the clergyman. That challenge, hurled thus boldly at the congregation, took Jennie's attention, and from then on until the end of the sermon she watched and listened with intense earnestness. Not until the entire congregation had turned their backs on the pulpit and were surging toward the doors did the anxious look fade from her puzzled little face. Then, seeing that the service was at an end, she fell back in a corner of the pew and breathed heavily with relief. "I'm glad," she said to her mother, "that nobody chucked rocks at papa," New York Press. A Deadly Recommendation.

CHOICE OF EMBROIDERIES. With all the exquisite embroideries that have already appeared, and those that are bobbing out by hundreds eacli day, it’s lard for the most practical woman out not to lose her head over them and buy them from their beauty points alone, says-the Washington Times. : ‘here are definite points to consider about every sort of embroidery before getting it. ‘Those sheer, beautiful bits that look almdst like Landwork are all very well in thelr way, Dut most of them are impossible (or should be) for anytldng that will get hard wear. Yet there are some of these sheer em- broiderles that are made qwith every thread doubly protected, So that the ugly, thick kinds can be occasionally thrust aglde, even for the sturdier sort of things. oy Since those wonderful inachines were invented, common sense and beauty have seemed, in a measure, to join forces. In choosing embroideries, look first at the material; some of the sheerest are less flimsy than the apparently sturdy. Look next at the edge; if the stitching 1s too shallow, it’s likely to pull out soon, If the scallop is In dec points, it's bound to curl up at the first wearing.

Blind embrojderies ate always more durable than open, and are nedrer to the exquisite French handwork that sets the pace all over the world. And in blind embroideries none is newer nor more {utgresting than those clever reproductions of Japatiese work. ‘The loveliest are done on handker+ chief iinens In odd, striking patterns, and carry their nationality in every single one of the broad, flat stitches. Some have the delicate Japanese drawnwork skilffally introduced here and there which fs beautiful, but takes away a Iittle from the practical worth, It all depends upon what you're buying, embroidery for, what points are most necessary for you to consider. If it’s for underclothes, look to It that the wearing qualitles are all there— embroidery not too heavily done for foundation to support;qno cobwebby things with odd little threads, and a good, firm edge fs necessary.

I shall try to go further and to prove by the following historical facts that z the future American girl will be an extreme specimen of * - & the brunette: In proof of this I shall cite history. z. In the seventeenth century Christopher Meyer and his === File came from Palantinate, Prussia, and penetrated the un- SteStGe¢E trod forests of Pennsylvania, where they built their log . cabin home—the frst touch of civilization in that region. Christopher Meyer was a blonde, of not extraordinary stature; so was his Wife, They spread the glories of the New World among thelr friends across. the sea. The result was the immediate emigration of hundreds of others to this new home, which Christopher Moyer namer “Bublbagh” (now Lancaster county, Pa.). The point I want to make here {s that all these German ploneers Were pronounced blondes, with blue eyes and flaxen hair. From that time down through the centuries this colony of first settlers bas remained intact. ‘They have been loyal to each other, and have never married Into the different nationalities who came later. Now, here I want to emphasize point No. 2. It {s this: My forefathers (Christopher Meyer wag my direct ancestor) wore all blondes. ‘Today the sixth and seventh generations are neatly ali extreme bru- nettes, with black hair end eyes. What has caused the change? Climate, say 1, for one thing; secondly, fréedom—freedom of mind and soul that has been working toward the ideal—namely, brunette type. Another remarkable thing fs this: Our race has grown in stature. My an- cestor, Christopher Meyer, was a mah of ordinary height, the present gen- ation fs.a race of giants ranging from 6 feet to G feet G inches in helght. I my- self being G fect 2 1-2 inches. This characteristic Increase of heleht 1s notice- able throughout central Pennsylvania; all the boys and girls now growing up to manhood and womanhood are growing taller then thelr parents (on an ay- erage) and thelr complexion is darkening. I predict that-the American girl of a hundred years from now will be a magnificent creation—about 6 feet in hetght, perfectly formed, with black halr, black eyes, a complexion almost In- dian bronze in color, features strong, clean cut, classical—the most beautiful work of the Divinity since the Garden of Eden—and a brunette, SS BEWARE OF JIU-JITSU. [patched with the sword. The system Boxing is ‘Preferable. Jiu-jiten is a complicated system of trick wrestling evolved by the Japan- ese after centuries of trial and prac- tice by the ruling classes. It depends Upon an intimate anatomic knowledge of the joints and peripheral nerves. ‘The wrestler tries to seize his op ponent in such # way that he can twist a joint, say the shoulder, so as-to give great pain. American school boys have a trick of seizing another's index fin- ger and bending it back until pain causes the sufferer to cry for mercy, and this {s typical of fiu-fitsu. It is combined with such tricks as pressing upon, exposed nerves or tender spots in jolts such as under the lobe of the ear, while holding the opponent in a species of chancery, or an effort may be made to choke the opponent. As soon as the antagonist relaxes his guard in a moment of pain, the other slips behind him, and while back to back throws him’ over his head ‘by a dexterous movement, While still stun- red, the fallen man is seized, bound, handcuffed or in tho olden times dis- patched with the sword. The system was carefully taught to all the sam- ural or rullag caste, but the mass of the people were kept in Ignorance of its tricks. At present it {9 apparencly used by only the police to assist them in overpowering men much larger than themselves. Thie qualities of a Japanese jugsier are required for expertness—very flexi- ble joints, a feline agility which no rece possessed except the Japanese, and evez with these natural traits, (he Jap requires several years to learn tho numerous tricks, and must keep in constant practice. Europeans ‘who at- tempt, to become expert do not succecd so that it fs not at all probable that it can be transplanted to America and flourish.

For -this occasion the beautiful and spacious home was most tastily decorated. Art, skill and science vied with nature in their efforts and contributed to bring about the most desired effects. From the walls swong enlarged pictures ol the different members of the family, together with copies of rare spaci- mens from some of the masters, Entwining these and gracefally hanging in easy felds around the walls were wreaths and obains of ivy, set with ferns and flowers, giv- ing the most pleasing effect to the eye. On the’eastern side of the par- lor was erected a large arch. Be- sides the usual decorations above mentioned, this arch was studded with forty-two incandescent variga- ted minature electric lighta; the arch just beneath its vend was a large letter “B{” finished in gold, and above this, but hidden from view “was a similar letter, “0,” Around the room were arranged in rich profusion pots of. plants and waving palms. Shedding, upon this scene were halos of mellow light streaming from clusters of gas chandeliers aod groups of electric globes. At 8:30 the folding doors were rolled back and the handsomiely dec orated parlors were thrown open to the admiring gaze of the large number of friends who had gathered to witness the solemn event about to transpire.

Monroe. 4 Followiug these were the mother and younger sister of the bride, Mrs. M. M.| and Miss Essie L. Monroe. Reaching the arch the bride was met by the groam and amid boughs of swaving palms gently toy- | ing with the breeze produced by an elec tric fan the services were pathetically sol- eronized by that veteran Christian minister, Rev. Alexander Harris. A unique feat- ure in the ceremony was that as the con-' cluding words fell from the minister's lips which pronounced them “man afid wife,” the letter *M" which hitherto had , represented the initial letter to the bride's name, wasZautomatically covered by the letter Cand Miss Monroe became Mrs. Curtright. : ‘The costume of the bride has been the subject of the most favorable comment.

Misa Genovive May, 1317 S. Meridian St., Indianaapolis, Ind., Member Second High School Alumni Ass'n, writes: "Peruana is the finest regulator of a disordered stomach I have ever found. It certainly deserves high praise. "I was in a terrible condition from a neglected case of catarrh of the stomach. My food had long ceased to be of any good and only distressed me after eating. I was nauseated, had heartburn and headaches, and felt run down completely. But I was able to eat without a changed person. A few bottles of the medicine made a great change, and in three months my stomach was cleared of catarrh, and my entire system in a better condition. - Genovive May.

Cracked and Peeled—Water and Heat Caused Intense Pain—Could Do No Housework—Very Grateful to Cutucura. "My hands cracked and peeled, and were so sore it was impossible for me to do my housework. If I put them in water I was in agony for hours, and if I tried to cook the heat caused intense pain. I consulted two doctors, but their prescriptions were utterly useless. Now after using one cake of Cutucura Soap and one box of Cutucura Ointment my hands are entirely well. I am very grateful. (Signed) Mrs. Minnie Drew, 18 Dana St., Roxbury, Mass."

Little Willie Flathouse — I dunno, teacher, but I guess, it mus' a' been the janitor—Baltimore American The Student Strike in Rusala. The university student in Russia, with rare exceptions, belongs to the liberal party. It seems to have become a tradition that the student's attitude should be strongly against the government. This is in large measure explained by the fact that the student class suffers more than any other from the arbitrary-regulations of the police and censor. Each faculty is provided with its subinspector, and file staff. At first I took these uniformed "spies" for janitors, but afterward learned that their duties consisted simply in remembering the full name of each student, in getting acquainted, as far as possible, with the voices of those who seemed to be the leaders, in order to recognize them even from behind closed doors. In the gymnasia, corresponding to our high and preparatory schools, the regulations are even more strict than in the universities, and there is no evidence of organized protest. Likewise, on leaving the university, the student finds himself struggling against the bureaucratic machine, and gradually submits and accepts it as inevitable. There is a small conservative element in the student body, but it does not form an opposition party and can be disregarded, since it exerts little or no influence on the general trend of student activities.—The World Today. Great. But Absent-Minded. It is not disgrace, even for a famous man, to lose an umbrella, so the New York Times tells with evident delight of a celebrated lawyer who darted into a furnishing goods store on Decent Rainy Friday, purchased an umbrella, and carried it as far as the door. There he stopped to make a note in a memorandum book. He left the umbrella, leaning against the wall while he wrote, and when he finished the writing he started out without a thought of the umbrella. Within a minute he rushed into the other door of the same shop. He wanted to buy an umbrella. "I thought I had one with me when I left home," he said, in a semi-apologetic way, "but I guess I must have forgotten to take it." A second salesman sold him another umbrella. As he started to carry it from the shop, the first salesman confronted him. "You left your umbrella, sir," the clerk said, as he held up the original purchase. "Bless me, so I did," cried the lawyer, "and I suppose I was going off with some other man's!" He pushed the second purchase into the hands of the surprised clerk, selzed the first one, and dashed into the storm again with his umbrella—under his arm. PIT SUPPENLY eured.

Carl Jeers, of Banger, Me., runs a worm farm. He raises them for past. At the biennial convention of the Order of Railway Conductors, recently held at Portland, Oregon, resolutions were unanimously adopted voicing their sentiments as to the effect of proposed railway rate legislation on the 1,300,000 railroad employees, whom they in part represented. These resolutions "indorse the attitude of President Roosevelt in condemning secret, rebates and other illegalities, and commend the attitude of the heads of American railways, who, with practical unanimity, have joined with the President on this question." They then respectfully point out to Congress the "inadvisability of legislation resting in the hands of a commission power over railway rates, now lower by far in the United States than in any other country," because such regulation would "result in litigation and confusion and inevitably tend to an enforced reduction in rates, irrespective of the question of the ability of the railroads to stand the reduction, especially in view of the increased cost of their supplies and materials." They further protested against such power being given to the present Interstate Commission because "the proposed legislation is not in harmony with our idea of American jurisprudence, inasmuch as it contemplates that a single body shall have the right to investigate, indict, try, condemn and then enforce its decisions at the cost of the carriers, pending appeal, which is manifestly inequitable." The conductors base their demand for only such legislation, if any, as would "secure and insure justice and equity and preserve equal rights to all parties concerned" on the ground that the low cost of transportation "is the result of the efficiency of American railway management and operation which have built up the country through constant improvement and development of territory, while at the same time recognition has been given to the value of intelligence among employees in contrast to foreign methods, where high freight rates and, lowest wages to employees obtain." In pressing their claim against legislation adverse to their interests, they point out the fact that "the freight rates of this country average only two per cent. of the cost of articles to the consumer. Alus making the freight rate so insignificant a factor in the selling price that numerous standard articles are sold at the same price in all parts of the country." MEN OF BUSINESS RECOGNIZE ADVANTAGES OF ACETYLENE. Famous Summer Hotel, the Grand Upsilon of Saratoga Has Installed This, Best of All Guiltful Lights—Means Increased Comfort and Health. Saratoga, June 27.—The very name, "Saratoga," brings to every mind health-giving springs, unsurpassed hotels and beautiful drives. It has been for many years the Mecca for all who admire nature, enjoy good living, and are searching for health, or are simply taking a vacation. The Grand Union, the largest summer hotel in the United States, set among green trees with its long wings enclosing a court with fountains and flowers, grass and trees, music and light, is throughout the season thronged with guests. With the progressive spirit always shown by its management, the Grand Union has again added to its attractiveness by introducing acetylene gas to make still more brilliant the evening hours. The genial proprietors believe in furnishing their guests with the best of everything, and new, after investigating and finding that Artificial Sunlight can be had, they have installed a complete acetylene gas plant to produce it, and have connected upwards of six thousand acetylene burners in and about the plant. Like many discoveries of recent years, which are coming into popular flavor, acetylene, one of the most recent, is very simply produced. It is adapted for use wherever artificial light is needed and the necessary apparatus can be understood and operated by any one. The generator in which Acetylene is produced by the automatic contact of carbide and water might be termed a gas plant, as it performs all of the functions of a city gas plant. The acetylene generator can be purchased for a few dollars and in any size, from one adapted to furnish acetylene to ten or a dozen burners for a cottage, up to the large but still simple machine such as is now furnishing Acetylene for six thousand burners in the Grand Union. Outside of large cities the use of Acetylene is quite common. The owner of the country home now demands running water, gas and other conveniences which a few years ago were considered as luxuries, and acetylene gas has met his requirements, and gives him a better and cheaper light than is ordinarily furnished in cities. It is well known that rooms lighted with Acetylene are more comfortable, because cooler, and more healthful because the air is not viltated. What a Diplomat Is. Referring to the recent banquet given Mr. Choate by the bench of the Middle Temple, the London Pall Mall Gazette makes a pretty play with the word "diplomatist," interpreting it is "one with a double duty, and a double responsibility"—to his own country and the country that receives him. The evolution of "diplomatist" from the Greek verb for "to double" is very curious. "Diploma," a doubling, was specialized as a folded paper, and particularly, in Roman times, an official passport or license. Thus "diplomatic science," down to the end of the eighteenth century, meant the science of manuscripts and documents, which explains a modern writer's strange remark that "there is not a shadow of diplomatic doubt thrown over the integrity of the Third Gospel," Dr. Murray's Dictionary assigns the translation to the modern meaning to Leibnitz's "Codex Jursis Gentium Diplomaticus," law), and the title of a similar French work. "Diplomatic" came to be considered as meaning "international-documentary," and then the "documentary" dropped out.

These significant remarks prove that the system requires attention. Backache and "the blues" are direct symptoms of an inward trouble which will sooner or later declare itself. It may be caused by diseased kidneys or some uterine derangement. Nature requires assistance and at once, and Lydia E Pinkham's Vegetable Compound instantly asserts its curative powers in all those peculiar ailments of women. It has been the standby of intelligent American women for twenty years, and the ablest specialists agree that it is the most universally successful remedy for woman's ills known to medicine. The "following letters from Mrs. Holmes and Mrs. Cotrelly are among the many thousands which Mrs. Pinkham has received this year from those whom she has relieved. Surely such testimony is convincing. Mrs.J.G. Holmes, of Larimore, North Dakota, writes: "I have suffered everything with backache and womb trouble—I let the turtle run on until my system was in such a condition that I was unable to be about, and then it was I that was unable to be about, and I got vegetable Compound. If I had only known much suffering I would have saved, I should have taken it months sooner—for a few weeks' treatment made me well and strong. My backkneches and backchestes all gone and suffer no pain at my menstrual period, when I was pregnant. Vegetable Compound I suffered intense pain." Mrs. Emma Cotraly, 109 East 13th Street, New York City, writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkhart "I felt it my duty to tell all women of the relief I have found in Lydia E. Finkham's Vegetable Compound. When I commenced taking the Compound I suffered everything with backaches, headaches, menstruation, weakness, leucorrhoea, displacement, ulceration of the womb, that bearing down feeling, inflammation of the ovaries, backache, bloating (or flatulence), general dullity, indigestion and nervous prostration, or are beset with such symptoms as dizziness, faintness, lassitude, excitability, irritability, nervousness, sleeplessness, melancholy, "all gone" and "want-to-be-alone" feelings, blues and hopelessness, they should remember there is one tried and the remedy Lydia E. Finkham's Vegetable Compound at once removes such troubles. No other medicine in the world has received such widespread and unqualified endorsement.
