MANY DIE OF FEVER Thirty-Four Victims and 154 Cases in New Orleans. Statistics Compiled Up to Tuesday Reveal True Situation of Affairs. Authorities Busily Engaged Tuesday night in response to the request of the state board of health the New Orleans city board of health compiled the figures of suspicious and actual cases of yellow fever and deaths, and the figures as issued by the state board show: Between July 13 and July 21 there were about 100 cases, suspicious and positive, and 20 deaths. Since then there have been 54 cases and 12 deaths up to the 24th, making all told 154 cases and 32 deaths. Tuesday there were two deaths, making 34 tb that date. There are about 50 cases under treatment. Physicians are reporting promptly all cases of fever, and immediate steps are taken to prevent mosquito infection, so that the prospects of restricting the infection are considered bright. The emergency hospital on Dumaine street was equipped Tuesday morning and placed in charge of Dr. Hamilton A. Jones, who had charge of the isolation in 1897. He has as his assistant, Dr. L. J. Faget, a noted yellow fever authority and a man conversant with the Italian characteristics. The advisory board of the city board of health has begun active work, and it will have immediate charge of the work of ferreting out the new foci of infection, and carrying out the sanitation and isolation, should any develop. It will also have general supervision over the campaign of education and the cleaning up of city, screening of clisterns and houses, etc. Surgeon White and Surgeon Gulteras of the marine hospital service, have completed all plans for the establishment of the detention camps along the different railroad trunk lines, and have selected the physicians in charge, who have already selected their staffs. The equipment is on the way. Tuesday was spent in trips to different locations to locate sites for the detention camps. In view of the complications over outside and inside quarantines, the state board will quarantine the state against the city of New Orleans and such territory in the immediate vicinity of New Orleans which desires to maintain open communication with the city. This will result in relieving the quarantines which Mississippi has placed against the whole state. A report received in Washington Tuesday from Surgeon White of the public health and marine hospital service, who is stationed at New Orleans, and who, under instructions of the acting surgeon general, is engaged in an effort to determine the exact condition with regard to yellow fever in that city, says the city authorities concede twelve cases and eight deaths, but adds that there probably are many more cases. Those so far observed are of a virulent type. Surgeon Whsdln, stationed at Memphis, who rendered signal service during the epidemic at Ocean Springs, in 1897, has entered on a careful investigation of conditions along the gulf coast from Mobile to Pass Christian, Miss., and Passed Assistant Surgeon Young has been ordered from Chicago to Jackson, Miss., to confer with the Mississippi health authorities relative to train inspection. A dispatch of Tuesday from Stockholm, Sweden, announces the resignation of the whole of King Oscar's cabinet. GOES IN QUEST OF IMMIGRANTS. Mississippian Visits Europe for Purpose of Securing Laborers. Hon. Charles Scott of Bollvar county, Miss., is now en route to Europe for the purpose of making careful inquiry into the feasibility of importing thrifty foreigners for work on the delta plantations. Mr. Scott is thoroughly convinced that the large planters of the south will have to quit depending on negro-labor to produce their crops, and during his European trip will endeavor to ascertain what class, of foreigners are best adapted to agricultural work, VOL. XX. Disease Is Virulent. King Oscar Loses Cabinet. The Tells Why He Killed Ticket Agent Wright, and Declares He Has Overwhelming Proofs. Vincent T. Sanford, former tax collector of Floyd county, who shot and killed George Wright, city ticket agent of the Southern railway in Rome, Ga., gave the first statement of his side of the killing to a representative of the Atlanta Constitution Tuesday afternoon. Mr. Sanford's statement is as follows: "To My Friends and the Public: Many conflicting rumors have been circulated and many false reports are going the rounds with reference to the killing of George Wright, circulated to prejudice the public mind against me. I deen it my duty and my right to ask that no judgment be formed until the true facts are made to appear at the trial. To my friends I beg to say, you need have no fear but that I will establish by overwhelming proof that George Wright not only sustained illicit relations with my wife, once, but repeatedly. That on three different occasions they stalk at a hotel in Atlanta, registered as man and wife under assumed names, at times when I thought she was with relatives and friends in Madison. The day before the killing George Wright told all the facts to a party thoroughly reliable who will be at the trial. These and many other acts showing intimacy will be proven. As on as these facts were established, without one moment's delay or the time I did what I considered to my duty and what every other kind of home and pure womanhood and every husband and father should do. I regret the necessity for the killing. The loss my little children and myself have sustained is much worse the death. JAPS JUBILATE OVER TAFT. Americans Enthusiasmally Receive at Yokohama and Tokio. Secretary of War Taft and party, received a demonstrative welcome to Japan, the principal buildings, streets and wharves of Yokohama, and the shipping in the harbor being gally decorated. A noisy display of daylight fireworks along the streets fronting the harbor announced the arrival of the steamship Manchuria at the quarantine grounds at 7 o'clock Tuesday morning and continued until the vessel was docked. Lloyd, C. Griscom, the American minister, the attaches of the legation and consul general, H. B. Miller of Niuchwang, together with representatives of the Japanese imperial household foreign officers, war department and the Aslatic Society, then boarded the Manchuria and extended formal greetings to Secretary Taft and Miss Roosevelt, who held an informal reception upon the deck. The party was then driven to the railroad station through the crowded streets and, boarding a special train, departed for Tokio at 10 a. m. amid the cheers of the assembled multitude. Upon arrival at Tokyo Secretary Taft and his personal staff were taken to Shiba, where a detached palace was provided for their accommodation. Miss Roosevelt accompanied Minister Griscom to the American legation. ROOSEVELT PACIFIES CARTER. Governor of Hawaii Reconsider's Determination to Resign. A consideration of Hawaiian affairs occupied President Roosevelt's attention for several hours Tuesday. He had as a guest at luncheon and greater part of the afternoon, George R. Carter, governor of Hawaii. Governor Carter visited Oyster Bay, and determined to resign his official position to escape the annoyance to which he has been subjected since he succeeded Sanford B. Dole as governor. The president not only declined to accept his resignation, but told him to go back to Honolulu and he should have the full support and sympathy of the national administration. OIL FIELDS IN FLAMES. Lightning Starts Conflagration Which Soon Extended Over Large Area. A dispatch from Humble, Texas says: Covering an area of three-quarters of a mile square with a great smoke covering two miles, the oil tanks of the Texas company continue to boil and bubble under the great heat of the burning oil. When it can be extinguished no one can guess. Certainly not until it has burned all of the oil in the eleven big tanks which held 2,500,000 barrels when lightning struck them Sunday afternoon, Savannah Tribune. SAVANNAR. GA.. SATURDAY. JULY 29. 1905 REPORT CORRECTED Revised Cotton Figures Reveals Work of Holmes. ACREAGE AGAIN REDUCED Decrease Should Have Shown Fourteen Per Cent Instead of Only Eleven—Makes Difference of 4,731,000 Acres. 'A Washington special says: Assistant Secretary Hayes Wednesday made public the following report to Secretary Wilson on the acreage of cotton in the southern states in 1905, compared with that planted in 1904: "The crop estimating board of the department of agriculture has considered the report issued by the bureau of statistics on June 2, relative to the acreage planted in cotton in the southern states in 1905, as compared with that planted in 1904, and has concluded: "First: That a new estimate should be made on acreage planted, and that the figures in Mr. Hyde's hands, when making his estimate, should be used as the basis. "Second: That Mr. Hyde, with Mr. Holmes at his elbow prompting him, made the estimate lower than the facts at his hand from the reports from the seven classes of reporters employed by the bureau, warranted. "Third: That the board finds, upon careful consideration of the reports of all classes of correspondents and agents, that the acreage planted in cotton this year, including the entire season, should have been estimated at 85.1 per cent of that planted last year, equivalent to a reduction in planted acreage as compared with last year of 14.9 per cent (instead of 11.4 per cent) or 4,731,000 acres—the estimate of the total acreage planted this year being 26,999,000 acres. The estimated percentage of the increase in each of the cotton-growing states is as follows: "The averages were made for each state by each of the four members of the board, and the comparatively small disagreements were harmonized almost wholly by averaging, and the above results are fully agreed to by each and every member of the board. "Respectfully submitted, "VICTOR OLMSTEAD. "The above findings, and report, made under my supervision, have my entire. approval. reau of Statistics "Approved by James W. Wilson, Secretary of Agriculture." THREE MANGLED IN WRECK. Spreading Rails Results in Smash-Up of Train on Georgia Central. of Train on Georgia Central. Three men crushed to death, and as many more wounded, two of the wounded now being in a critical condition is the result of a spreading rail on the Central railroad at Oakland avenue, in Oakland City, an Atlanta suburb near Fort McPherson, Wednesday morning at 11 o'clock. The dead are: John M. Woodruff, yard conductor; Horace McGhee, switchman; Green Colvert, colored, fireman. The list of wounded includes: F. M. Woodall, yardmaster, who has been in the service of the Central for years, and Samuel Farris, engineer. Operation Performed on Rojestvensky. Rear Admiral Rojestvensky has undergone a successful operation at Tokio. The wound on his forehead was opened and a small piece of bone was removed. His condition is satisfactory. Hyde's Female Secretary Resigns. Announcement was made at the department of agriculture at Washington Wednesday that Mrs. Bertha Jucn, private secretary to former Statistician Hyde, had resigned, and that her resignation had been accepted. GALLOWS AND PRISON. In Fate of Jesse and Leonard Rawlings. Jury Decreea Death for Ona and Life Sentence for the Other. The trial of Jesse and Leonard L. Rawlings, on the charge of the murder of two children of W. L. Carter, ended at Valdosta, Ga., Wednesday afternoon with a verdict of guilty, but a recommendation for mercy for Leonard. This means Jesse will have to hang, and that Leonard will spend his life in the penitentiary, unless a higher court should decree otherwise. It was five minutes after 5 o'clock, Wednesday afternoon, when the jury notified Judge Mitchell that they had reached an agreement. The judge was at the court house waiting for the jury's decision, and the jury was very quickly brought in. The foreman handed the verdict to Sollicitor General Thomas. It read as follows: "We, the jury, find Leonard Rawlings and Jesse Rawlings guilty, and recommend that Leonard be sent to the penitentiary for life." The jury was polled, and each member acknowledged the verdict as his. The mother and sisters of the condemned young men were, present, and as the verdict was read out, the mother broke down and sobbed aloud, but the girls showed little emotion. Leonard and Jesse received the verdict with pale faces and bowed heads. The entire morning session of the court was consumed by the speeches of Solicitor General Thomas for the state and John R. Cooper for the defense. Judge Mitchell charged the jury before the noon recess, and the body retired to their room at 1:38 o'clock p. m. Large crowds attended the trial, but there was no demonstration of any kind, and the best of order was observed in and around the court room. Very little surprise was expressed at the finding, as it seemed to have been about what the majority of people expected, and is generally approved. Although the evidence against old man Rawlings is said to be even stronger and more direct than that against his sons, it is expected that his attorneys will make a determined fight in his behalf, and the trial promises to be one of the hardest fought and most interesting in the whole series. While showing some signs of breaking down, he maintained his composure throughout the ten days of the trials of his sons. He appears to realize more fully, since the conviction of his other two boys, his perilous situation, and told his wife and daughters that they would have to look out for themselves, as everything seemed to be going against him. He remarked to callers at the jail that he would have killed W. L. Carter during a session of the Valdosta ely court some months ago, but as he started to draw his pistol Sheriff Passmore stepped between him and his intended victim. SIX DEATHS FROM YELLOW JACK Was Wednesday's Record in New Orleans—Eleven, New Cases Reported Six deaths from yellow fever were recorded in New Orleans Wednesday up to p. m., making a total to date of 42. The number of cases reported is 11, making, all told to date, 165. The organization of forces for fighting the spread of the infection and for a practical application of the mosquito extermination plans has been completed. Besides 100 men put on as extras to clean gutters by the city, 350 men are working as part of the system of sanitation. In his advices from New Orleans to the public health and marine hospital service at Washington, Surgeon White says that a house to house inspection is being conducted in the portion of the city which is infected by yellow fever. This section includes forty or fifty blocks. Grand Jury Hard at Work The grand jury investigating the cotton scandal at Washington heard six witnesses Wednesday, four of them being from New York. It is believed that the investigation will continue for two weeks. QUARANTINE OFFICERS' RIGHTS. Charges Preferred Against Railroad Conductor for Electing Jones. A Decatur, Ala., dispatch says: Blewett Wallace, superintendent of the state yellow fever quarantine, has been instructed to arrest Conductor Payne of the Southern railway and prefer charges against him for ejecting Quarantine Officer Lew Jones from his train at Leighton, Ala., and John Almon, near Huntsville. The Southern has since issued orders to make its conductors pass all quarantine officers upon proper credentials. THREE-CORNERED FRACAS Indulged in by Editor, Legislator and Newspaper Reporter, on Streets of Atlanta — No Damage Done. Editor James R. Gray, of the.Atlanta Journal, and Representative Henry H. Revill, of Merlwether county, met in a personal encounter in front of the Capital City Club of Peachtree street in Atlanta Monday afternoon. The difficulty was the sequel to a statement made by Mr. Revill in the house of representatives Monday morning, in which he attacked Mr. Gray and his paper because of an editorial published a day or two previously, attacking Mr. Revill on account of certain questions asked on the floor of the house during the debate on the anti-pass bill, in which Mr. Gray's name figured. Learning what Mr. Revill had said upon the floor of the house Mr. Gray had a message telephoned from the Capital City Club to Mr. Revill's hotel to the effect that some one wished to see him at the club. In response to this message Mr. Revill started across the street from the hotel, and as he reached the sidewalk in front of the Capital City Chun, he was confronted by Mr. Gray. Neither man knew the other positively, and there was brief preliminary conversation, followed by a decidedly lively encounter which was fought all the way from the sidewalk up to the club veranda. The difficulty, which lasted for several minutes, attracted large crowds, both from the members of the club who gathered upon the veranda, and the passersby who collected on both sides of the street. As in all matters of this kind, there are two versions of the dispute between the two gentlemen. According to statements of eye-witnesses, however, Mr. Gray, upon meeting Mr. Revill, asked a question to make positive that he was the right man, and then struck him. Mr. Revill, it is stated, then drew a pistol, whereupon Mr. Gray closed in upon him, preventing his using it. In this way they struggled, it is said, from the sidewalk clear back to the ralling of the club veranda, where Milt Saul, an employee of The Journal, who ran across the street from the Majestic, caught the pistol and took it from Mr. Revill's hand. It is stated that Mr. Revill then drew a knife, which was also taken from him. During all this time several blows were struck by the belligerents, it is stated, and there was also an encounter between Mr. Revill and Mr. Saul, the latter striking the former in the face. They were finally separated by friends. After the battle none of the belligerents looked as if he had been in so serious a difficulty, as they bore no marks of consequence upon their faces. TWO BOYS PLACED ON TRIAL. Jesse and Leonard Rawlings Face Jury in Valdosta Court. Interest in the Rawlings trial is still deep, and crowds attended the trial of Jesse and Leonard at Valdosta Monday, although there were not as many people in the city from the Hahira neighborhood, where the crimes were committed as previously. Court convened at 9 o'clock, and it was agreed between the state and the defense to put both boys on trial at the same time. It was found more difficult to get a jury than in the trial of Milton Rawlings, six panels of twelve men each being exhausted before the last juryman was secured at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. W. L. Carter, father of the children whom the Rawlings boys are charged with murdering, was the first witness and gave about the same evidence he did in the trial of Milton Rawlings. He was on the stand for two hours, and was subjected to a rigid cross examination by Attorney Cooper. Alf Moore, the confessed accomplice, followed Carter on the stand, and was up until 7:30 p. m., when court adjourned until Tuesday morning. The negro related practically the same story he did on the trial of Milton Rawlings HOME WRECKER GETS LIMIT. Man Who Shot Captain Park in Tampa .Fla. Given Year in Jail. Harry Bomford, who seriously shot Captain C. L. Park, when surprised by the latter in his home with his wife, was sentenced by Judge Gordon, at Tampa, Fla., Friday, to one year in the county jail, the maximum penalty for aggravated assault. In sentencing Bomford the judge stated that the jury would have been justified in convicting him of assault with intent to murder, in which event the court would have given him the maximum penalty under that charge—twenty years. BROKERS ARE SUMMONED Rumors Current at Capital of Sensational Disclosures Yet to Come. Bottom of the Affair Not Yet Reached. The investigation of the leakage of the cotton reports of the department of agriculture was begun at Washington Monday by the federal grand jury. In accordance with the call of District Attorney Beach, the jury assembled and promptly entered upon the work before it. As Mr. Beach entered the room he declined to express an opinion as to how long the inquiry would continue, to state how many witnesses would be called, or to give any information whatever except that he would personally conduct the investigation. There were no witnesses present when the jury was called to order. Persistent rumors of new evidence regarding the cotton leak, and of probable disclosures equally as sensational as those of the past, are to be heard in interested quarters. Anything like official confirmation of such stories is lacking; however, the grand jury investigation was conducted with unusual secrecy, and nobody around the department would talk. Advices received in the city indicate that the southern producers are by no means as excited by the situation as are the speculators, and some others who have nothing to do with the growing of the staple. Everybody who has the best interests of the south at heart, however, is insisting on a full and complete investigation, and on the punishment of the criminals responsible for the juggling and leakage of the crop reports in the past. Mill Men See Wilson. The delegation from the American Cotton Manufacturers' Association, appointed at the recent meeting at Charlotte, N. C., to take up with Secretary Wilson the question of issuing a new June cotton acreage report, called at the department of agriculture Monday and were in lengthy conference with the secretary. At the conclusion of the conference Secretary Wilson gave out the following statement: "The department of agriculture has determined that the statistical board shall meet Wednesday, June 26, to consider whether revision of the cotton acreage should be made from existing data or from a new inspection and to make public their findings or estimates at 12 o'clock, on that date, or the earliest convenient date thereafter." The cotton men informally discussed the question of ordering a new report. No representations of inaccuracy were made against the June report, and the members of the delegation appeared satisfied with the decision of the secretary, announced in the statement issued. The suggestion was made that a weekly report of the condition of cotton should be issued, but it was not urged upon the department. It was said that most of the cotton men realized that more frequent reports cannot be had under the present appropriation for gathering crop statistics. Cotton Brokers Summoned. Cotton Brokers Commission Subpenas requiring the presence or several New York cotton brokers before the grand jury were issued Monday. The attendance of those named in the subpenas is required in Washington before the end of the present month. A federal official said that all the men upon whom subpenas have been served have made statements, both signed and sworn, in which they tell all they know of the so-called cotton scandal. It was upon these statements forwarded to Washington that District Attorney Beach caused the subpenas to be issued. When, where and before whom the statements were made could not be learned. Beach Announces That Probing of Cotton Leak Will Now Begin. The grand jury of the District of Columbia will take up the allegations that there has been jugglery in the cotton crop statistical reports of the department of agriculture with a view of possible Indictment of Indictments. The announcement that the grand jury would meet to consider the subject was made in a statement issued by United States District Attorney Morgan H. Beach at Washington Friday night.

Another case was made, and the merits of ‘which were arguedjint he Circuit Court atJacksonville on Monday Messrs. Wetmore and Purcell made arguments and stated facts that were irrefutable.

The opposition will appeal it to the Supreme Court of the state. ~ z Tae rollowing special cable from Germany has been going the newspaper rounds recently : “A colored student, Edwin Gor- don, bas created quite a stir at the University of Berlin, where he is at- tending lectures regularly. While the female atudenta nearly all seem to have fallen victims to his charms the male students have boyéotted him entirely and will have nothing to do with him. “The colored seeker for wisdom pays no aitention to either. He de- clares that he has entered the uni- versity to pursue his studies previ- ous to returning to his native home. America. _ “The professors declare unanimous. ly that he isan unusually gifted and energetic student who undoubt. edly will make His mark in life.” Mr. Gordon is not the first col- ored stadent to attend the uni- versity. Savannah was repre- sented there by two students during the terms of 1903 and 1904. They reported that they were courteously treated by their fellow students and everyone else. ATTEMPTS are being made to have all of the Negro troops in the state disbanded: -Years agc there were’ about twenty-five companies in the state. Gradu. ally these companies have beer cut down until now there are on. ly five of them in the sfate. Three of them are in Savannah, one in, Macon and one in Augus. ta. These companies are under command of Uol. Deveaux and are amlons the most efficient that can be found in the militia of any state. In_ fact frequent commendations have been given them by the officials for eflicien- cy and faithfulness to duty. Despite these facts there is a tendency to do away with them, as shown by the bill introduced at this session of the legislature. It is believed that the more ‘conservative members of the leg- islature, those who believe in fair play, and are determined to give the Negro a square deal, will not allow the bill to be en- acted. Georgia and many of the present members of the legisla- ture are on record against class legislation, and undoubt- edly this same sentiment is prev- alent and will show itself in this case. . ' Until very recently and for the past twenty-five years, the colored troops have been of no expense to the state whatever, and even now the state gives about eight hun- dren dollars a year to their sup- port. This paltry sum should not cause their disbandment, in fact the colored citizens are en- titied to this small return for the tax that they pay each year. “Ansarances have been received trom various sources that influ- ence will be used against its passage, | National Negro Business ‘Casa.

During the season a large number of the brethren from various parts of the state gen- erally visit our city. Whenever they do so a cordial invitation is given them to call and see us. Seven Star Lodge celebrated St. John’s Day by attending the Baptist church at Waynesville. Rev..A. Cooper, D. D. delivered a timely address. Several others spoke. The occasion will be one long to be remembered. Titus Lodge at Ailey celebrat- ed St. John’s Day in an appro. priate manner. Several brothers from Lodges in the vicinity at- tended. Worshipful Master 8. S. Mincey presided. An address of welcome was made by Mrs. Lizzie Crawford. A timely ad- dress was delivered by Miss Al- berta P. Mason who received the applause of the entire as- semblage for tlte same. The ser- mon was preached by Rev. E. T. Turner who handled his subject ina masterly way. Bro. Mincey and his Lodge never do any- thing by halves. Past Master :Daniel Harris was in tosee us some time ago. He is a whole soul brother, al- ways smiling- and cheerful. Such brothers carry sunshine wherever they go. We were glad to see him. On account of our indisposi- tion we were unable to see and note the presence of the latge number of brethren who were recent visitors to the city. The entire Masonic family are hoping for the early recovery of Bro. E. N. Sullivan. He left on Monday last for McIntosh Coun- ty. Itis hoped the change will do him good. . |Zi n Baptist Association 4+he 40th annual session of the Zion Baptist Association convened with the Jerusalem Baptist church at Pennick, Glyon County Ga, on Thursday of Jast week and ad- journed on Sunday, last and was largely attended by both: delegates and visitors and quite‘ number of new churches were admitted to membersbip;- among those which was the Bryant Baptist Church of Bronswiek, Rey, G.

You see, I came to this const soon af- ter the gold fever broke out, antl set- fled down in the Josita Valley, below here, rauching. I was a widower even then, and had brought with me from, the States my only child—a daughter, past seventeen, “She was a pretty girl, tf I do say it, and, belng as good as pretty, you can imagine I was quite wrapped up in ber. Of course I was ansious to keep ber with me, and, if not that, at least U looked for her to do something better than fall In love with a peddler.” “And did she?? * #¥e3; you see in those days the coun- try was full of young fellows who had struck out for themselyés, and were trying to get a start by carrying knick- knacks around from one mining camp to another.

One @ay when I came back from a cattle sale she was missing. I chased her 2 couple of days, but they had taken to the tall timber and ft was of no use. After a while I got a letter, and 1 wrote back, saying that I disowned her, and that he had better keep ont of range of my rifle” “What did you do then?” “Suffered, mister—just suffered. I knew I'was wrong, but I'd have died rather than give in. For three years 1 lived fike a toad in a rock, hating the whole world. All the pleasure.I had was in watcblng for peddlers. One evening, after a terrible rain storm, one of the tribe came to my house and asked for shelter for the night. He was a thin, weak looking fellow, with bis face covered by a huge ragged beard, He carried on his back an enormously long and heavy pack, and seemed so exhausted with his tramp through the mire that I hadn't the heart to do more than order him off the place.” “That was pretty hard,” sald the lis- tener. “I suppose it was.

However, I locked and barred all the doors and windows, as usual, for some. road agents bad been around thosq parts about thaf time, and had stood up and robbed several ranchers, and, as I told you, I was all alone, Some- how, I couldn't go to sleep when I went. to bed. After tossing around for awhile I got up and sat by the fire, brooding over my trouble aud trying not to think of the poor chap shivering out there in the cold and rain some- where, I looked at his pack sitting up’ In the corner, and wondered what ade it so long. As I watched it I fancled T saw tt move!” “Saw it move?” ® “Exactly, 1 wouldn't belleve my eyes at first: but after watching in: tently for a while i distinctly. saw thé front of n hand pressed against thé canvas from the inside. Like a fash, then, I undefstood thé whole thing. The peddler was one of the road agents’ gang, and knowing I had con: siderable money bout the house they had adopted this plan for smuggling one of thelr crew inside the house. Af- ter I had gone to sleep the fellow in- side could let in the rest and finish tho job. I walked quletly acroas the room, took my gun from the antlers, knelt down a few feet from the pack, aimed square in the centre and- pulled the triggers” : «Go on,” murmured the lsteher, with a shudder, “But the gun didn't go off,” contin- ued the landlord, clearing his throat. “The nipple was rusty and wouldn't work, so I lal down the rifle and got an axe from the kitchen, It had been newly ground that day, and, ‘when I lifted It over my head, I counted upon cleaving that pack, robber nnd all, clear to the floor, Just as [raised the axe and braced myself for the blow I~ saw a ghost.” “A ghost?” “Yes, sir. The pack opened, and t saw sticking out of its top the curly rellow head, blue eyes and rosy cheeks ot my Mary when she was a little tot ot fopr. The shock staggered me so fat I sank on my knees. I wiped my ‘es, and wondered if I had gone ray.

The aversion which working women in this country feel to enfering domes- tle service appears to be shared by the women of European nations. Observ- ers in England some thue azo noted with alarm that young girls who were obliged to work would do almost any- thing else sooner than become house servants, ‘Now, Sr, Cuneo, American consul in Turin, reports the same of the Itallan girls In that section of the coun- try. Mr, Cimeo says he has known People to look for domestic help for ‘weeks in vain, the fact being that there as in the United States “intelligent and: ambitious young women seek employ- ment as teachers, as clerks im ‘post- offices and stores, as secretaries, sten- ographers, typewriters, In factorles— in fact, they seem to prefer any kind of employment to domestic work: It seems, that they even prefer to drive teams, to pull or push carts on the streets or to become porters to being domestic servants.” ‘The industrial opportunities which Italy opens to these women ought to warm thé cockles of the heart In any woman suffragist whoyearns ta see her sex competing freely with men in the various activities of Ife.

With the progress of education and the growth of the more civillted comi- munity, Indian women are slowly coni+ ing to understand that many spbered of activity and usefulness which hith: erto have teen closed to them are as appropriate for them as for their hus: bands and brothers. For the present this community must lead in all these movements. Thé Maratht Mission of the American board, working id the Bombay presidency, has now fairly de: ‘veloped several industries for girls. ‘The most {important are weaving with hand looms, rug-making, lace embroid- ery and art needle work. ,The objec- tions to the first and second of these are that the profits are small, and that they require machinery and equip- ments which prevent thelr being -de- veloped except in factories. In India, much more than In the United States, factories are ‘unsafe places for girls, ‘The third and fourth industries are most appropriate for Indian young women. ‘They can be developed in private homes or anywhere else; they require only a small and inexpensive outfit; they offer large scope for skill, intelligence and taste, and also bring fair profits—Southern Workman. WEDDING ROUGUETS: Wedding bouquets have practically resolved themselves into two styles— shower and “Bernhardt” bouquets, als though an occasional sheaf of long- ‘stemmed roses is seen, or even moré occasional round bouquets, For the bride herself, almost any white flower fs good, the stereotyped bouquet (ike the stereotyped gown of white satin) being made of white roses, relleved by little sprays of lilies of the valley. Lilles of the valley, in fact, play a most fmportant part in almost every bridal bouquet, whether it 1s composed of roses or orchids, gardenias or bya+ cinths. Loops of misty tulle, twisted in through the flowers, are an echo of the wedding veil that softens the whole effect of the bouquet, and transforms it into something at once unusual and exquisite. , : “Bernhardt” bouquets are bullt on the ‘lines of a sickle with the flowers arranged to curve away from tbe face and to droop over the arm, instead of preserving the curidus stiffness 80 often seen in loose clusters. But the prettiest {dea of all s a new arrangement for the tiny mafd who serves as flower girl. A great, rough straw garden hat fs bent up into a basket, the handle formed of wide satin ribbon, and is piled high with blossoms —ribbons and blossoms matching, and both matching the ribbons on the small girl's dress. * For the bride's sell, orange blossoms are the rule, but gardenias and Ulies of the valley—and at Easter, Easter Illes—are often used efther instead of or combined with the orange blos- soms. The only arrangement of them Is the adjusting and readjusting of a flower or two, or tiny sprays of the little flowers until the most becoming effect is got.—Washington Times.

Now, in the first place, {t is necessary to consider what are the various purposes of training the momory. These, I thixfi, can be divided into three classes or sorts: 1. The purpose of acquiring and retaining facts in any branch of knowledge. * ; 2. The purpose of remembering, for a period more or ee eer ne eB COREE Smeets OMT TaCee. OF: Aree” sions, or groups of facts or impressions, as they happen. 3. “The purpose of belng possessed of what is known as “a good memory.” It fs the first of these three classes, and the first section of that class, which fs loudest in Its outery for an imvigorator of memories, and to which most systems primarily appeal. Every system of memory training that {s not purely arbitrary must, I ap- prehend, be based upon the well known and ancient principle entitled “thé as- sociation of ideas.” A certain pergon has no diffleulty in remembering certain extrinsic facts. Thus you may hear a man say: “I always know the exact date of the battle of Waterloo because I was born on June 18.” One thing sug- gests another, and the great object of the memory trainer {s, when one thing does’ not suggest another, artificially to Induce it to suggest another. = Thus (in the matter of those Balkan capitals), Roumania does not suggest Bucharest, but I¢ you think of a maniac and of arresting him, you will never In future forget that Bucharest is the capital of Roumania, because the two names will henceforth be associated by-an idea. I give this merely as a ran- dom and clumsy illustration of the principle, a principle which is certainly ca- pable of marvelous elaboration and wide application. It can be utilized to memorize a list for shopping just as successfully"as the heads of an argument or the good tales heard at the club. ‘The treatment of numbers fe, and must be, more arbitrary and much more artificial, Numerals are not connected with ideas, and cannot therefore, as numerals, be connected one with another, But if one begins by laying aown that the first nine letters of the alphabet shall stand respectively for the nine numerals, and O for naught, all the other letters remaining meaningless, ono instantly has a bas{s upon which to construct associations. = A first class system of memory training will neither be random nor clumsy. It will be carefully planned and worked out so as to gain thé greatest possible end by the smallest means. It will be full of minor ingenulties. It will be adaptable, clastic and comprehersive, eoeeeeeeooe USSIA is preeminently the Jand of spies.

Suddenly the nightingale stopped Its sdng and flew on to her lap, ““What Is the use of me singing to you,” It ab- Jected fretfully, “if you don't listen?” “I am very sorry,” sald the Burgd- master’s wife penitentls, “but t nm so worried that f came here to think of a way out of my difficulties.

But how am I to send for it, silly?" “You need not call me names,” re- érted the bird, “because you are too stout to fly to the moon yourself.

AN UNEXPECTED BANQUET. ‘Derine the auuser of 2008 tesntiad During the summer of 1903 Leontdas Hubbard, Jr., Dillon Wallace and a half-bred Cree Indian, who proved him- self a hero, started to explore the Lab- rador wilds. This purpose was only partially carried out, Winter came on along before Hubbard was ready to turn back, the provision’ were ex- haused, game were scarce. On the Jour- ney to the coast Hubbard was taken i, and perished of starvation while his compaznious were In search of aid. Wallace had found some provisions which had been thrown aside on ‘the Ssland trip, and had returned within a few hundred feet of Hubbard's tent, but could not find st, In “Phe Lure of the Labrador Wild’t sir, Wallace tells something of their hardships: Desplte the stendy gnaw at the pit of our stomachs, we had cut down ‘our meals io the minimum amount“of food that wonld keep us slive. For, nearly two weeks’ we had been the pris- oners of a relentless storm. All of us felt we hind entered on a race against starvation. While we were nearing the shore we sighted three tittle ducklings bobbing up and down In the tumbling waves, and repeatedly diving. ‘They were too far off to reach with a pistol, and, Hub- bard took his rifle. It seemed almost like attacking a fly with a cannon, but [ with our thought on food, none of ‘us was impress d with the {ucongrulty thet. N, . Mie Hubbard fired, one of the duck- uggs turned over, We paddled to St with fervinsh haste, and found that it hall beert stunned by a ball that had barely grazed {ts bill. It was a lucky shot, for If the bullet had gone through the duckling's body there would have been little left to eat: . ‘The next day we soundered on through marshes and “swamps, George, with his pack and rifle was ii advance, and Hubbard and I followed his track through the snom In the distance we heard a bang! then, bang! bang! three shots fn all. Presently wo came upon George's pack near the Iit- tle lake, and waited for him to appear. He had“kllled two geese. While walt- ing for them to cook, George cut from ‘the necks a plece of skin and fat for each of ug. These we warmed on the end of 4 stick, taking great care not ‘to heat them enough to permit a single ‘drop of the oll to escape from the fat; hen, balt-rawas they were, we ate then greedily, and found them delicious. It was really wonderful how much aappinesss that bit of game brought us. As we were drinking the broth we freely admitted that never before had we sat down to such a banquet. HIS DOUBLE, ‘The Inte Gen. Sir James Brown yras stationed for a number of years in Bas luchistau, During that perlod of hfs life.a very strange thing happened to hilm, so strange that its reading ts like that of detion. In 1878 Sir James was in the political employ at Quetta. Two years of wandering life-bad weather- beaten bim till bis face was sunburned and his beard ragged. Walking one day with a fellow officer;he saw a man In Afghan costume sitting by the road- side. A big book, presumably the Ko- rap, was/suspended from Lis neck, but sometlfing about hin, perhaps’ his brown beard and blue eyes, bespoke the European, Sir James tells the story: “That fellow does not sit on bis heels like a native,” I sald. Colonel Fellows assented. “And,” said he, “he is the very image of you.” I looked at the man again and saw that it was 80. He was exactly like me. 1 spoke to bi, and he answered in an embarrassed way, saying that be wis a Kirghiz on a pilgrimage to Mecca, I talked with him a little, and found bim so embarrassed. that my sus- piaions were aroused; and later I sent to arrest bim, thinking Le might be a Mussian spy. But the man had fled, and that was the last I ever saw of him. Soon after Lead men began to drop into Quetta and to seek me out, ali claiming to know me. I did not under- stand wliat they meaut, but I used the opportunity to gain all the information I could. Some of these visitors spoke of meeting me places where I had never been. One died, and I was asked to perform the burial services, the one who made the rejuest saying I used to perform such rites at Mukkur. I was more puzzled than ever, Dut I did not tet the claimants. to my acquaint- ance know it. ‘War broke out soon after this, and I was sent farther into the interlor, Everywhere distinguished officers de- clared they knew me, and spoke with great reverence of religious ceremonies I bad performed. The natives would not fight with the company I was in. I went Into the most dangerous places unharmed and unattacked. Evers- where I was greeted as a preacher hols. After I was made chlef commissioner of Baluchistan I met three Afghans who said tliey were old friends of mine at Mukkur. One spoke of bis wife as my ardent disciple, another of the time I had spent at bis house as his guest. Then for the first time an explanation came to my mind. I was iridebted for this extraordinary amount of influence to my double, whom I had met on the toad. My Doppelganger had disappeared entirely; dropped out of life in a mys terious way. Who he was I shall never know, but for elxteen years I got all- the credit of that saintly Mussulman. When I dented the Identity I was laughed at. Some of my doings must have seemed rank apostasy to those natives, but they were faithful to their ideal. In time of war I went every- where unchallenged, much to the amazement of my comrades, who won- dered why I was not captured or mur- dered. I received presents and visits from avowed followers. Unwittingly I entered “Into that holy “man’s, life and reaped the benefits without the shad- ow of a claim, and all on account of the strong resemblance between us. UNDER WATER MANY HOURS. After belvg imprisoned for twenty- four hours, loaded down by a diver’s armor and under fifteen feet of water at Canton, Mo, Daniel Hayes was bronght“to the surface in an uncon- selous and almost dying condition. He 1s a professional diver and had been employed to remove brush and debris from the immense pipe which serves at times of low water to drain Lima Lake and transfer its surplusage to the ‘Mississipp! River. He was sucked un- der 2 pile of retuse and over against a bowlder in a way which prevented bim from loosening himself from the tan- gled hose which held him down. In signalling to the men in tharge of the air pump Hayes could not let them know his location, as the air hose, be- ing wrapped around the rock, caused deceptive bubbles to rise to the sur- face. When the imprisoned diver was released his suit was found to be leak- ihg, and he would have been drowned had the ordeal lasted another halt hour. The agony7he passed throngh made Hayes appear ten years older than when he entered the water, 2 iamems “Saat at ee es = a a ri ys Ye. r Be ae Ut i q vA i NS Ad aay & ” Nets fey W Ni ey = VVAeSgy = ae Saat!) ‘g + CANINE CULTURE. “) ¢ A Boston spinster owns a-dog, ar ‘One of those high-toned “towsera?” 2% That's co well bred and nice,’tis said, 74 Hie never pants—he “trousers”. ¢ : Philadelphia Post, S REVISED QUOTATION. - 3 Orator—“Afan's inhumanity. to map’ makes countless mill—mill—” Auditor—“Milllonatres!"—Lite.

Guaranteed at soc and 1.oo, by any druggist. Trial bottle free, The regular meeting was held Sunday afternoon. The Club was favored with three papers on music by Profs. McIntosh, Robinson, and McDowell. Special music was furnished by the Colridge Taylor Glee Club. Sunday night the Club held a meeting at St Paul's Church for the purpose of organizing a mother's Club. which was done Monday afternoon under the direction of Miss Laura Hutchinson. The Asbury Mother's Club No.1 has been holding meetings and indulging in informal talks on everyday subjects. The several clubs plan to do practical work in the community as soon as possible. To-morrow afternoon Rev. T. W. Longwood, returned missionary from Africa, will speak. A special musical program has been arranged. At night the Men's Sunday Club and the Frances E. W. Harper Literary Society will attend services at St. John's Church, Hartridge St. and a third mother's meeting will be organized. The Men's Sunday Club presented to its friends last Sunday one of the best programs ever gotten up by this institution and those who were present expressed themselves as being well pleased. Profs. McIntosh, Robiuson and McDowell spoke on music and its value in the home. To have sat and listened to these polished musicians would have been a treat to the most lowly. Their plea was to stick to the original music of our ancestors which they consider the most beautiful ever written. They acquitted themselves splendidly. The Glee Club, a new feature of the Men's Sunday Club-which was organized by Prof. Chas McDowell, rendered a piece of music which was very harmonious, and won the approval of the audience. This piece was a credit to the club and shows the ability of its musical director. The attendance was good, and we hope the public will continue to give us their support, which is always appreciated. Ladies are always welcome at these meetings. On Sunday afternoon July 30th, Prof. Monroe N. Work will read a paper on "Crime," and at night the club will meet at St. John's Church on Hartridge Street. Local Notes.

H. Bugg, M. D. with full ranks, left for Augusta with ten packed coaches of excursionists. The company was the guest of Capt. L. E. Mosely's Maceo Guards and the boys were royally entertained. The parade was an excellent one. The applause given them for military honors was deafening along the line of march and they were commended by the press and citizens for same. The company returned Thursday morning. Among the recent visitors to the city was Mrs. S. E. Cruse of Clyo. Mrs. Cruse is one of the best known ladies in the State. To know her is to honor and respect her. Mr. Fred McNeil died on Monday last at Clinton, Iowa, where he has been residing for the past number of years.

Dennis will regret that he will shortly leave the city to take up a larger work at Brunswick. He will have charge of St. Athanasius church as vicar, and warden of the St. Athanasius Parochial and Industrial school. The Episcopal work at Brunswick is the most important one in the state and the selection of Rev. Dennis to take charge of it is quite an honor to him. Rev. and Mrs. Dennis have been in our midst for nearly six years. The reverend has done much to upbuild St. Augustine Parish. While here he established St. Augustine Parochial School, the attendance at which has been very flattering. In this work he was ably assisted by Mrs. Dennis. The citizens are loath to give them up, but commend them to their new charge. Sickening Shivering Fits of Augue and Malaria, can be relieved and cured with Electric Bitters.

She stuck to it ‘until’ {t restored her health s0 com pletely that she is now the most entlu- Blastie friend of Grape-Nuts that I ever knew. She eats it with cream oF ‘ary, just as 1t comes from the package keeps {t In her room and eats it when- ever she feels like It. “I began eating Grape-Nuts food my- self when my baby was two months old, and I don’t know what I should have done without it.

The Grape-Nuts food, of which I soon grew very fond, specdily set all this right again, and the baby grew healthful, rosy and beautiful as a mother could wish. He is two years old now and eats Grape-Nuts food him- self.
