VOL. XX. MILITIA ON GUARD State of Mississippi Inaugurates Shotgun Quarantine. TEXAS IS ALSO VIGILANT New Orleans Authorities Confident That They Have Yellow Scourge Well in Hand and Will Soon Stamp it tOut. A New Orleans special says: The work of sanitation, fumigating, oiling and screening went on just the same Sunday, and will continue daily until the city has been thoroughly screened and made mosquito proof. The record for the day showed little change from that of Saturday, exe cept in the reduction of the number of deaths. The number of new foci is also again a source of encouragement, showing that the spread is becoming slower and slower. If the Mississippi health authorities now refuse admission to holders of certificates of detention issued by the marine hospital service, it will result in the government abandoning those camps, and then travelers will have to either stay in New Orleans or go to points in the north and east, and spend ten days before they can return to Mississippi. Mississippi Tightly Closed. Governor Vardaman, acting for the state board of health of Mississippi, placed Adjutant General Fridge in charge of the state quarantine service and all future aggressions against the yellow plague in Mississippi will be conducted under the auspices of the adjutant general's office. The advance detail of the officers and men stationed at Camp B. F. Ward, who were preparing the camp grounds for the encampment of the Mississippi National Guard, will be utilized to supplant the civil force now on duty throughout the state, and the most stringent quarantine will be maintained in the state. General Fridge has issued imperative orders to the soldiery to maintain the quarantine at the point of the bayonet. The state board of health received a unique order from Governor Vardaman. It requires passengers through the state to furnish affidavits from physicians, approved by the state or city health boards to the effect that they are in good health, and are not infected or have not been exposed to cases of yellow fever. This means, practically that persons desiring to go through to Michigan, Iowa, Wisconsin, Indian Territory or any other of the places that are not bothered with yellow fever epidemics, and has nothing more serious to contend with than smallpox, typhoid fever and spinal meningitis, must do a deal of swearing and to go through some extensive red tape processes before they can check their baggage. Texas has done pretty much the same thing, and it is not possible to ride through that state westward bound without similar red tape formalities or some detention. Shark Drowns a Bather, While wading waist deep in the sea at Beaufort, N. C., Saturday, Sutton Davis, 16 years of age, was seized by a shark and drowned in full view of a large crowd of bathers. GRAVES WAS THE ROBBER. Express Agent Confesses to Looting Company's Safe at Palatka. John T. Graves, an employee of the Southern Express company at Palatka, who claimed he was gagged, and the safe robbed of about $2,000, as previously published, confessed Monday afternoon to having committed the theft and gave up the money, which amounted to $1,835.10. He was arraigned before Justice Roylon, and held on $2,500 bail, in default of which he was sent to jail await the action of the grand jury at the next term of the criminal court. The Savannah Tribune. SANFCRD FACES JURY. Ex-Tax Collector Arraigned in Court at Rome for Murder of Ticket Agent George Wright. Despite the many predictions to the contrary; a jury was quickly obtained in the case of Vincent T. Sanford at Rome, Ga., Tuesday morning, who is charged with the murder of George Wright. When the case was called at ten o'clock, both the state and the defense announced ready. Several of the defense's witnesses failed to respond to the first call, and Colonel Dean asked for a recess until 2 o'clock. This Judge Wright denied, saying he would proceed, and if the witnesses failed to show up by two o'clock he would hear from the defense as to a continuance. For the state there appeared besides Sollicitor General Ennis the following well known attorneys: F. W. Copeland, W. J. Nunnally and Max Meyerhardt. For the defense, Deane & Dean, and Barry Wright of Rome, George C Thomas of Athens and R. S. Pearson of Atlanta. Mr. Dean asked to know upon whose behalf the attorneys for the state appeared. Mr. Copeland announced that he and Judge Meyerhardt appeared upon behalf of Mr. George Wright's father and father-in-law. Mr. Nunnally made the same statement. Before entering into the trial of the case Judge Wright announced that all who were not attorneys, relatives of either the deceased or newspaper men actually representing papers desiring to report the progress of the case, must retire from the bar and occupy the regular seats provided for spectators. He gave the sheriff positive instructions to clear the room of all parties not twenty-one years of age. The judge said that he should insist upon the utmost order in the court room, and those who failed to preserve perfect order would be fined. One notable feature was the fact that not a woman was present in the courtroom. Long before the hour set for the hearing the courtroom was pecked, and many were unable to gain admittance. Mr. Sanford was brought over from the jail about fifteen minutes before the trial and was the recipient of many hearty handshakes and expressions of confidence and good-will. He held what might be termed an ovation from friends and acquaintances. He was smiling and seemed pleased at the prospect of an immediate trial. The silly stories sent out from Rome about Mrs. Sanford having skipped out in disguise were thoroughly exploded by Tuesday, and it was evident that the utmost anxiety prevailed upon the part of all witnesses in the tragedy that the whole deplorable thing be gotten over with as soon as possible. WOULD CLOSE BUCKET SHOPS Bill is Favorably Reported in Georgia House of Representatives. In the Georgia house of representatives Tuesday, the anti-bucket shop bill was sent back to the house with the approval of the special judiciary committee, which recommends that it be enacted into law. The bill makes it a misdemeanor with a penalty of $500 fine, not only to operate bucket shops in Georgia, but the same penalty is made to attach to any firm that posts within its place of business any market quotations similar to those which are usually made a basis for future dealing. MRS. SANFORD BACK IN BOME. Explodes Sensational Fake That She Had Skipped Out. Mrs. V. T. Sanford returned to Ronie, Ga., on the southbound Southern train Tuesday night after an absence of two days. Mrs. Sanford found it necessary on Sunday night to leave the city on some purely private business for a day or so. She went in the most natural manner without any effort to conceal her movements. A most sensational and idiotic lot of stuff had been sent broadcast about her skipping in man's attire. Southern Express Company Robbed of $2,000 at Palatka, Fla. The safe of the Southern Express company at Palatka was opened by burglars between 3 and 4 o'clock Sunday morning and currency to the amount of about $2,000 was taken. Mr. Graves, the agent, who sleeps in the office, was bound hand and foot by the robbers and his keys secured. The safe was opened by the combination. The cash drawer was rifled, one of the keys taken from Graves unlocking it. Checks, money orders and everything but the cash were cast aside. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. AUGUST 5 1905 WILSON IS UPHELD President Jordan of Southern Cotton Association Quoted as Saying Secretary's Resignation is an Absolute Necessity. A Washington special says: The fact heretofore alluded to in these dispatches that cotton producers of the south are by no means a unit in demanding the resignation of Secretary of Agriculture Wilson and the abolition of the bureau of statistics because of the recently discovered scandal, has been shown in a most conclusive manner. Monday's papers printed a dispatch from Atlanta, in which President Jordan of the Southern Cotton Association was quoted as saying, among other things, that Mr. Wilson's resignation was absolutely necessary in order to inspire new confidence in the department. During the day, E. S. Peters of Calvert, Texas, who has for some time been president of the Texas Cotton Growers' Association and is in addition a vice president of the Southern Cotton Association, sent the following telegram to Secretary Wilson at Oyster Bay: "In reference to the interview of President Jordan, I would say I cannot endorse the same. The farmers and cotton growers of the south have implicit confidence in your honesty and ability to purge the department of all grafters, and hope the president will left nothing to interfere with the great work you are now doing for them." "The Southern Cotton Association has taken no action looking to a request for Secretary Wilson's resignation," said Colonel Peters, in discussing his telegram. "President Jordan may be expressing his personal ideas, and I may now be expressing only mine, but the executive committee of the association has never considered a request for the resignation of Secretary Wilson. I am assured that the farmers and cotton growers of the section west of the Mississippi will never listen to such a proposition. In our opinion Secretary Wilson is the only secretary we have ever had. "The tremendous influence of the bureau of plant industry and entomology; with which I am particularly conversant, is entirely his work. That work has meant millions to the south. I must take issue with Mr. Jordan. It is possible the confidence of the secretary has been abused, but there is no reason to believe that the intelligent citizens of the south will confuse the cupidity of under officials and their abuse of the department with the reputation of Mr. Wilson. He has our confidence, and to charge him with incompetency or to assert that his days of usefulness are over, is an unwarranted charge." SENSATIONAL FAKE EXPLODED. Report That Mrs. Sanford Had Skipped. Out Proved Untrue. A rumor was started in Rome, Ga., Monday morning to the effect that Mrs. V. T. Sanford had left the city for parts unknown. The story soon spread, and was all the talk of the town. Mrs. Sanford's attorney pronounced the whole thing a fake, and declared that he knew just where Mrs. Sanford was; that she left on purely private business, with his full knowledge and consent; that she was with friends within a few miles of Rome, and would return to the city. Bla Sugar Houses Go Under. Owing to the failure of a big speculator to meet engagements said to amount to $3,000,060 two of the leading sugar houses in Paris have suspended payments. A CALL TO POPULISTS. Georgia Executive Committee to Meet in Atlanta, August 17. A call has been issued by the chairman, J. J. Holloway, for a meeting of the executive committee of the people's party of Georgia to be held in Atlanta August 17th, for the purpose of mapping out a plan of action in the coming campaign. The secretary urges that at least one man from each county in the state be present at the meeting. The secretary also requests that as many populists as possible attend the meeting. RAWLINGS SENTENCED. Old Man, Milton and Jesse to Gallowa and Leonard Given Life Term. Negro Preacher Convicted. At Valdosta, Ga., Monday night, at 8:45, Judge R. G. Mitchell passed sentences on J. G. Rawlings and his three sons, Milton, Jesse and Leonard. The scene was one of the most touching and dramatic ever witnessed in a court in Valdosta. Judge Mitchell was brief in his remarks during the passing of the sentences. They were very touching, but fell with force on the ears of the large crowd packed into the court house. The first three were sentenced to be hanged. September 15, and Leonard was sentenced to life imprisonment. When the elder Rawlings was asked if he had anything to say why sentence should not be passed upon him, he arose and said: "I have a conscience that stands correct. You can no more pluck it than you can, the brightness of the sun. Your sentence can do no more than kill. Pass it." Milton received the sentence stoically and never opened his mouth. Jesse and Leonard burst into tears, and both of them said: "I am innocent." Mrs. Rawlings and her two daughters were present, and on them the blow fell with crushing force, all of them weeping bitterly. The jury in the case of Frank Turner, the colored preacher, brought in a verdict of guilty with a recommendation to mercy at a quarter after 8 o'clock, and the sentences on the Rawlings were passed immediately after on request of their council, Hon. John R. Cooper. Mr. Cooper immediately moved for a new trial, which motion will be heard on August 9. The prosecution put up many witnesses. W. L. Carter and his wife and daughter were the first. They testified to the facts of the murder, giving the same testimony which they had given during the other trials. Alf Moore, convicted as one of the principals in the assassinations, was sworn, and said that Turner had gone to him with a proposition to kill the Carters, saying that Rawlings wanted to hire a man to do the work and would give him (Moore) $100 if he would do it. Mitch Johnson, colored, swore that Turner told him that Rawlings would give him $125 to kill Carter and his family. The defense put up no witnesses, and had Turner go on the stand and make a statement. He denied any connection in the matter and said while he had worked for Rawlings, and knew of his troubles with Carter, he had endeavored always to keep clear of any connection with the troubles of the white people. He told the jury that he was in their hands, that he had done what he could to establish his innocence and told them to do with him as they thought right. Alf Moore and Frank Turner will be sentence and the special term of the court will be permanently adjourned. New Orleans Officials Expect to Curb Pest by End of the Week. By the end of the present week, the authorities in charge of the fever situation at New Orleans believe that they will be in such thorough touch with conditions that they will be able to speak with authority as to their ability to control and eradicate the disease in advance of the coming frost. New cases up to 6 p. m., Monday, were 21; new cases to date, 302; deaths on Monday, 5. Scores of Warrants Await Hoch Should He Cheat the Gallows. With the possibility of Johan Hoch securing a retrial in Chicago, and an acquittal on the charge of murdering one of his wives, the authorities of Cincinnati and St. Louis have been in communication with the state's attorney relative to the crimes of bigamy and the murder that Hoch is said to have committed in those cities. EFFORT TO DIVERT ATTENTION. Statement Regarding Cotton Leak Issued by Jordan and Cheatham. President Jordan and Secretary Cheatham of the Southern Cotton Association issued a statement Tuesday addressed to the members of the association calling attention to the recent disclosures in the cotton statistical work, declaring that efforts are being made to divert attention from the "deficiencies" of the system itself "to the thieving propensities of a few unworthy officials," and setting forth demands to be made on congress to reform conditions, TWO STATES GLASH Louisiana and Mississippi at Outs Over Quarantine. GOVERNORS HAVE SPAT Charge Is Made That Mississippi Guards and Patrol Boats Have Crossed Louisiana State Line In Chase of Fever Suspects. A special from Baton Rouge, La., says: A clash between the Mississippi and Louisiana authorities over quarantine regulations is imminent. A private dispatch was received in the city Tuesday stating that Mississippi soldiers, employed as quarantine guards, had invaded Louisiana soil with arms and that boats were patrolling the mouth of Rigolets' lake and Pearl river, off the Louisiana coast to prevent Louisiana boats from leaving. Governor Blanchard at once communicated with Brigadier General Perraflat of his staff and Captain J. W. Bostiwick, commanding the state's naval militia, directing them to investigate and report to him. Governor Blanchard also sent the following telegram to Governor Vardaman of Mississippi: "Have reliable information that Mississippi quarantine guards, armed, crossed over to Louisiana side at Pearl river. I do not believe this was on orders, but was the thoughtless conduct merely of a few. To obviate unfavorable comment and friction please give orders that your guards remain on their own side of the line." Late Tuesday afternoon Gov. Blanchard received the following telegram: "New Orlans, August 1—To Gov. H. C. Blanchard, Baton Rouge, La.: A patrol boat of the state of Mississippi patrolled Lake Borgne and after prohibiting fishermen from fishing in the lake is now guarding the exit of Lake Borgne canal, preventing any boat from coming out. This is an unwarrantable usurpation and invasion of Louisiana waters and our attorney advises me to ask you to wire proper authorities in Washington at once to intervene, or take matters in hand yourself. "EDMUND SOUCHON, M. D. "Pres. Slate Board of Health." Governor Blanchard decided to take matters in hand himself and he at once addressed the following telegram to Governor Vardaman of Mississippi: "Governor James K. Vardaman, Jackson, Miss.. Have information Mississippi patrols have forbidden fishermen from fishing in Lake Borgne and is now guarding exit of Lake Borgne canal, preventing boats from coming out. Is this by your orders or of those of health authorities of your state? No such state of affairs can be tolerated. You have a right to prohibit boats landing on Mississippi shores, but not from navigating lake sound and gulf channels, which are navigable waters of the United States. "N. C. BLANCHARD." Later developments in the controversy between Louisiana and Mississippi do not lessen the seriousness of it. It is now reported that one of the Mississippi boats drove a Southern Yacht Club yacht far into Lake Pontchartrain. Tuesday night it was learned authoritatively that the schooner Grace of Gulfport and another vessel had been lying five miles inside of the Louisiana line most of the time for the past week, and at times even entering the Rigolets, the outlet from Lane Pontchartrain Into Lake Borgne, and during that time had taken 18 Louisiana boats, some of them schooners and others tuggers and turned them over to United States revenue cutter Winona and towed to Ship Island, where the crew were immured. This brings the federal government This brings the federal government into the muddle. Governor Blanchard has wired to Washington, but the text of his message has not been given out. MEANS MUCH TO SOUTH. Editors of Trade Journals Meet in Atlanta and Organize. An important meeting which means much to the entire south was held in Atlanta Saturday when editors and proprietors of the leading trade journals gathered to perfect an organization for the purpose of upbuilding the south. Organizations of this kind have been perfected in other parts of the country and the results have proved beyond argument the many and tremendous advantages obtained. DEATHS ON INCREASE. Tuesday's Yellow Fever Record In City of New Orleans—Cases in Montgomery and Shreveport. Tuesday witnessed an increase in the number of deaths from yellow fever, in New Orleans, a fact that was not unexpected in view of the high temperature that has prevailed the past few days. There was, however, the usual large preponderance of Italian names in the list both of new cases and deaths, which has characterized the reports since the time when the fever was first officially announced as existing here. In spite of the increased mortality, the health authorities exhibited no concern over the situation, contending that with the accumulation of cases, there must be expected an increase in fatalities to maintain the average death rate of fever. The war against the mosquito continues. An ordinance was introduced in the city council Tuesday night providing that all vacant lots and other places where water stands for more than six hours shall be filled to the grade required by the city engineer's surveys. President Souchon of the state board of health issued a proclamation to all the parish and municipal health officers. He announces that he has accepted and recommends the acceptance of subordinate officers of the marine hospital health certificates to through passengers from northern points transferred in screened coaches at New Orleans. He declares that passengers from New Orleans, after a detention of five days in marine hospital service camps who are given certificates of free pratique, should be admitted without detention into all parishes and towns of Louisiana. Following is the record up to 6 p.m. Tuesday: New cases, 42; total cases to date, 345; deaths, Tuesday, 6; total deaths to date, 68. Shreveport Has One Case. Barney Tracey, a traveling man of Chicago, is in the detention camp just outside the corporate limits of Shreveport suffering from yellow fever. There are no other local cases. The infection has been traced directly to New Orleans. A Case in Montgomery. It was officially announced at Montgomery, Ala., Tuesday night that there is one case of yellow fever in the city. The announcement came from the board of health, together with the statement that there is not the slightest cause for alarm. This was followed immediately by an announcement from State Health Officer W. H. Sanders saying that it is believed the scientific steps taken in the premises are fully adequate and that "no occasion whatever exists for the declaration of a quarantine against Montgomery." NOW AFTER THE McDONALDS. Carter Murder Case Close With the Sentence of Moore and Turner. At, Valdosta, Ga., Tuesday morning, sentence of death was passed by Judge Mitchell on Alf Moore, colored, convicted as one of the principals in the assassination of the Carter children. Frank Turner, also colored, who was convicted Monday night as accessory before the fact, was sentenced to the penitentiary for life. Turner had appeared well satisfied with the verdict of the jury and received his sentence with a smile. Moore is to be executed September 15, the date set for the execution of J. G. Rawlings and his sons. Solicitor General Thomas will now probe to the bottom of the charges made against the McDonalds in connection with the murder of the Carter children. The solicitor will take a trip of a few days to north Georgia, and on his return will sift the matter thoroughly. An indictment was drawn up by him against Tim and Jim McDonald at the beginning of the session of court called to try the Rawlings, but the jury found that the evidence in their hands was not sufficient to warrant them in finding a true hill. ENGLAND MUCH INTERESTED. John Bull Will Back Up Any Peace Terms Demanded by Jans. Terms Demanded by Japs. Japan comes to the Washington conference assured, that whatever her peace terms, they will have the sympathetic approval of Great Britain. Several suggestions from Washington London that the cause of peace would be served by an explanation to Japan from her ally favoring moderation in her demands upon Russia have not availed to change the British government in its apparently unalterable determination to stand by Japan, however severe she makes her conditions of peace.

SATURDAY, JULY 29, 1905. It is charged that the Negro is morally weak, but the Sandford trial at Rome this week has disclosed some horrible facts concerning some other people THE "funks" bordering the several sections of the city ought to be broken up by the police. These places are hot beds of crime and immorality. Our small boys and girls are being led to perdition therefrom. Our young men who are conducting the Men's Sunday Club are to be commended for the practical way in which they are furthering the institution, and the efforts that they are forwarding to educate the less informed ones among us up to that standard that means good health and longevity to the race A SPECIAL from Washington to the Constitution says: "The new bond of Collector of Internal Revenue Rucker, of Georgia, has been received here while no official information concerning it has been issued it is stated by those in authority that the bond has been satisfactorily passed upon. "This means that Collector Rucker will retain his office and that no new appointment will be made. "It is said that a vigorous protest against Rucker was made by others who were seeking the place. Before making his mind up as regards the appointment of a successor the president caused to be instituted a careful investigation of Collector Rucker's official service. Special experts were sent to Atlanta and their investigation shows that perhaps not another office of collector of internal revenue in the United States makes a better exhibit. In other words, the report of the government experts gave the Georgia office a 'clean bill.' Since no attack has been made upon the honesty or the personal character of Collector Rucker, his new bond has been approved and filed and it seems certain that he will be retained, the president refusing to consider any further applications for his position." On Monday last a colored man, a laborer on the river front, died suddenly on West Broad street. He was a stalwart looking man and was said to be an efficient workman at his calling. He was constantly employed and received fair wages for his work. Like a number of improvident men of his class, he did not prepare for a "rainy day," the result of which was that a subscription had to be taken up to bury him. This should be a lesson to his class of our working men and others too. Nearly ever evening, especially on Saturdays, these men can be seen in droves congregated in bar rooms around Market Square and elsewhere, where a large percentage of their week's wages is spent in treats, enriching others and causing themselves to become correspondingly poorer, thereby taking from their wives and children their rightful belonging. If this unfortunate man had been more prudent he would have left a snug bank account, sufficient to bury him decently and enough no doubt to assist his bereaved ones to battle against the ills of life. The laboring men in this city make more money than those in any other part of the state, and they make a poorer show for it than those whose wages are smaller. There is one thing that these men abound in, and that is enriching those who afterwards generally fasten their poisonous fang of prejudice deep into them. It is about time for these laboring men to become awake and stop spending their hard earnings so carelessly. They should make better provision for their homes and save more for the time of adversity. "It is doubtless unjust to lay up against the negro as his peculiar sin the fact that the southern cotton planter is loud in his demands for more and more efficient labor. The Kansas wheat farmer, the New York daiyyman and the Massachusetts housekeeper issue the same call. "When the officials of the state declare that five thousand laborers are needed in its fields and from every section of the country come complaints that labor cannot be found, it,is not surprising that the negro does not take to the cotton fields with desired enthusiasm. "Nevertheless when every Southern paper contains accounts of European trips to secure white agricultural labor, and tells of the satisfactory work of Italians at cotton raising and the prospects of large immigration from Southern Europe, it behooves the friends and leaders of the colored people to give attention to their prospects. In vain is agitation to right social and political wrongs for a people who forget to preserve for themselves a place to work and to win for themselves the prosperity which will enable them to enjoy their rights. The negro has the first bid to do the work of the cotton fields. If he will do it efficiently he can have that privilege forever. To him it will be the basis of civilization and the door of opportunity. It will be what school teaching was to the ambitions, young New Englander of fifty years ago, what housework is to the green immigrant girl, who very likely in a few years has a comfortable home of her own. But if he sacrifices this, fortress he surrenders his future. There is no other ready resource for the bulk of the colored people, and if they desert the work which their white neighbors will encourage them to do and help them to become prosperous in doing, they will forfeit a measure of sympathy and protection which is of the greatest importance." Under the heading of "The Negro's Passing Opportunity," the above is clipped from The New York Tribune. What it asserts is partly true and can be fully accepted by our people in the same spirit in which it is written. But The Tribune does not understand fully the conditions of affairs in many sections of the south. One of the main reasons why so many of our people leave the farms and rural districts is because of ill treatment accorded them by a certain class of white planters, from which they have no redress whatever. Should any of them at any time resent the most heinous wrong heaped upon them, they generally get the worst of it as was demonstrated in a nearby county some weeks ago. Because a colored man refused to work faster when the thermometer was near the century mark, he was cursed and otherwise abused, he and a son was shot down and another one had to run for his life. The white man who committed the act was not molested. This is one reason for the scarcity of farm helps in this section. Many more instances can be sighted. While what is sighted above is a fact yet there are many white farmers in this state who are humane in their treatment and who do everything possible to encourage their helpers. Notwithstanding the disadvantages under which they labor there are hundreds of prosperous colored farmers, in the state, and their thriftiness should be emulated by others.

THE TRIBUNE takes pleasure in presenting to its readers the following excerpt from the Colored American Magazine complimentary to President B.F. Allen of Lincoln Institute. Prof. Allen is a Savannahian whom we are all proud of, and join in commending him for the good work he is doing: Dr. Benjamin Franklin Allen, within the very short space of three years, has turned the Lincoln Institute, the Missouri state college for Negroes, into a channel of usefulness. He was chosen to take charge of the institution, because it was thought that he could put life into every department, revive the spirit which surrounded its earlier years, and so direct its influence as to make it something more than a city school of narrow aims and parochial sympathy. The present reputation and condition of the institution are sufficient witnesses in behalf of the timeliness and wisdom of the selection. There are a large number of Negroes in Missouri who need close to them a powerful and useful institution, not only to teach their children to memorize the rules and formulas contained in books, but to lead the moral life of the state; to guide the people; to inculcate within them by precept and example, the right idea of life, without losing, of course the basic thought—childtraining—of all institutions of learning. Indeed as the great center of the Negro population west of the Mississippi River, Missouri should have the one great Negro university for this population, in order that it would not be necessary for the seekers after knowledge to cross the river, in search of a suit able institution, well and sufficiently equipped with both men and apparatus to do needed and effective work. Lincoln now seems devised to fallfi the hope of the Western Negro for such an institution. The state legislature of Missouri lately has taken on fresh interest and pride in the school, to the extent of appropriating yearly a sufficient amount of money to assure needed improvement both in the plant and personnel of the faculty. Dr. Allen has not only been highly successful in securing increased appropriations, but he has impressed his personality upon the whole citizenry of the state. And this is what an educator must do; and if he fails herein, he is hardly to be called an educator. Possessed of an increasing interest in the work of his school, he has not, however, lost sight of the hopes and aspirations of his people, with whom he is identified in spirit and action, as well as color. More such educators are needed among the Negroes. Lincoln has now a brilliant fu use. Those in every section who are watching the drift of affairs have confidence that Dr. Allen will make of the school a mighty agergy for the solution of the problem in the west. Masonic Notes. The "divine attribute truth," should have many willing followers, in fact that should be deeply inculcated into the very being of every Mason. It is our purpose to help the weaker ones. When we fail to do so we are violating a divine command. The moral teachings of Masonry are uplifting and also edifying. The ban has been placed against the use of intoxicants at meetings or banquets of Masons. Bro. E. W. Burt of Eureka Lodge invited a large number of the brethren to a watermelon cutting at his home last week. Several of the brethren accepted of his hospitality, and were royally entertained. Each one of them voted Bro. Burt as being a royal good Mason. He presented the W. M. with a melon weighing $31\frac{1}{2}$ pounds. The call has been issued and blanks sent out for the meeting of the Grand Chapter O. E. S., at Americus on Tuesday Aug. 29 Each Chapter is expected to be fully represented. Masonry stands for temperance. This is a great lesson that thousands of our people should learn. In every stable community in this state there should be a Masonic Lodge. A good Mason is not known alone by the pin that he wears. His actions for good are what the world recognizes. No candidate should be advanced in any lodge until he has shown suitable proficiency in what he had received. The supreme court of Florida has declared unconstitutional the separate street car law of that state, thereby affirming the decision of the circuit court judge. This prejudiced law is completely "knocked out." The New York Age is easily the nestor of race journals. Its eight pages of well edited articles reflect on the race in a commendable way. THE TRIBUNE adds its commendation to Editor T. Thos. Fortune for the improvement on the Age, and for the editorial battle that he is waging each week for the race. The city authorities should pay some attention to the Ogee chee road and that part of the driveway to the colored cemetery. Its horrible condition is a reflection on the administration. Odd Fellows to Meet Next week the Grand Lodge of Odd-Fellows will meet in Columbus. The gathering is expected to be a very large one, and also will attract much attention. The unpleasantness that exists in the order has much to do with the outcome of the present session. The unfortunate condition of affairs, along with the contention for offices, will tend to disrupt the order in the state unless sober minded men step in and secure control of affairs. The session next week should look well to the good of the order. The Grand Household of Ruth will meet at the same place. Mrs. R. L. Barnes of this city is the presiding officer, and she will render an excellent report. The following from this city will attend: P. N. Fs., W. S Roundfield, W. E. Phillips, J. E Causey, W. Smith, J. D. Powell, R. N. Rutledge, N. D. Inman, H. C. Dukes, P. G. Mrs. R. B Heggs, J. H. Davis, W. E Scarles, Mr. M. Monroe, Mr. Henry Williams, Mrs. R. L. Barnes, Mrs. L. B. Reid, Miss, L. E. Hendrickson, Mrs. R. E Wright. Deserves Befor Accommodation. Lincoln Park has become very popular among our people. Much of of this is due to the excellent management of Capt. Tom Golden. Matters not how large the crowd may be good order is always kept on on the grounds and on the cars. Capt. Golden is doing his part in catering to the wants of the public. Now it is up to the railway authorities to do theirs. The park should be better laid out and in other ways made more beautiful. The lights should be improved in every way. Iustead of small incadecent lights, the grounds should be brightened by a sufficient number of arc lights fed by an independent wire. As it is now the small lights are attached to the wire of the trolley line and at times when the cars are on certain parts of the track the entire park becomes darkened. The company owes it to the hundreds of patrons of this place to make these improvements, not alone that, but add other features that will attract. We dare say that more fares are collected from Lincoln Park than any of the other resorts and with less expense to the company too. This should be taken into consideration and the patrons treated as they should be. St. Philip's Dots. The attendance at our services on Sunday was very good. Rev. Sims preached both morning and evening and as usual his discourses were very good. Our Sunday School had their annual outing to Bluffton on July 24 and every body enjoyed themselves. The Sunday School convention of the West Savannah District was at Waynesboro last week. St Philips Sunday School made a very good report and is the leading school in the district. Divisions Nos. 1 and 3 are making extra efforts to raise money for their respective divisions for our rally which, is to come off on the second Sunday in August. It is hoped that our friends will assist in doing what they can in that direction. Rev. L. B Blair will give one of his new moving picture exhibitions at St. Philips on next Monday night for the benefit of our church. All of the very latest scenery including the lynching of Cato and Reid at Statesboro. A five nights entertainment will be given by Mrs. A. B. G.

ID you turn out the cow, and put the geese in the stable, Isaac! said the Widow Havens to her son, as they sat down to the breakfast table one fine summer morning. "Yes, mother," was the reply, "and I guess I can master that old gander this time. I'm getting so big. You know, he knocked, me down with his wings the last time we picked 'em." way twice over. There are those two young ones, to be sure, but they need not be in the way at all. Hannah is just such a girl as one likes to see around, busy as a bee, rosy as the morning, and cheery as a little canary, and, indeed, sings about as sweetly. I can see that Sam is casting sheep's eyes at her already, every time he comes home for a vacation, and I don't blame him a bit. They're not "Yes, I remember; and Squire Hoffmann came right in the middle of it, about that calf, and I, in my old ragged gown, mortified to death, was hindered a whole hour, showing him the poultry and the garden. And now Hannah," turning to her daughter, a pretty girl of sixteen, "If anybody comes to-day, before we get through, tell them I can't see them; for I wouldn't be bothered with company when I am in such a plight. This old gown is gil in slits, but I can't afford to spoil a better one. You may wash up the dishes, Hannah," she continued, when breakfast was over, "and set the rooms to rights; and by and by put on the pgt, and get the dinner a-going; and by that time I hope we shall be through. Come, Isaac we will go." Now, everybody has seen feathers, but there are some who do not know where they come from, and softly repose upon their downy beds without one thought about the cruel way in which the best ones are obtained. They want live geese feathers when they buy, without knowing what it means. We wish such a one could have seen Mrs. Havens and like marching to the barn, with a big basket, a cloth to tie over it, an old chair, and one of Ike's outgrown stockings to put over a goose's head, to keep her from biting while she is picked. To see Ike run the whole flock up into a corner of the stable, catch one by the neck and wings, and then with his black eyes sparkling with delight, and his freckled face and suspiciously red head, all aglow, with the triumph of capture, as he marched across the floor to lay it gently, but squwking terribly, in his mother's lap, was rather amusing. Boys are cruel! there's no denying it; when they so love to catch geese and pigs, and fish and game, just for the fun of it, sometimes letting them go, and putting the fish back in the water, because they do not want them, after the triumph of capture is over. Like, who was a smart, mischievous boy of twelve, loved to do all these things, though he was not particularly ugly, and had really a very soft place in his big, generous heart. But while Hannah in the neat white cottage is cooking the dinner, and Mrs. Havens in the big handfuls from the poor geese—side, back and front, and Isaac is climbing haymows hunting eggs, and cutting up all sorts of pranks between whiles, another actor is on his way to the busy scene. This was Squire Hoffman, a rich farmer, who lived two or three miles away, whose road to town took him very often past the Widow Harven's cottage. Being an observing man, he had noticed the neatness, and look of care and thrift that always surrounded it; and more than this, that the widow had handsome black eyes and a trim figure, as she sat up stiffly in her pew of a Sunday, giving Ike an occasional nudge, or pinch, to keep him in order, yet all the time looking at the minister, and no doubt hearing all he said. As the squire had been a widower several years, this must be excused, especially when we consider that his only daughter, Grace Hoffman, was about to be married, and go to a home of her own. As he was a good-looking, large-framed, big-hearted, benevolent-looking man, with three large farms and money in the bank, we must conclude that he was considered a pretty good catch among the widows and maidens, if he once made up his mind to marry again. And it was of this very thing he was thinking as, seated on Selim, his handsome black horse, he rode toward town upon this particular July morning. "I really don't know what I had better do," he solloquized. "There is Grace going to leave me, and I can't say a word against it, she has got such a noble fellow in the one she loves, and the very one I would have chosen for her. But there's nobody left but Aunt Dinah in the kitchen, good old soul, but just no company at all for me. And here I am, not fifty years old, and I may live twenty or thirty years yet, healthy as I am, and must I live all that time alone, with nobody to care for, and nobody to care for? It's all nonsense. I declare I won't do it, if I can find anyone to marry me. "But who shall it be? There's the Widow Spriggins, good-looking, no children to bother one, smart, tidy and with a nice farm of her own; bib such a temper, sharp as steel, and keen as a razor, I guess a little too keen for me. A man wants a little peace in the decline of his life, if ever; and he'd have none with the Widow Spriggins. Then there is Miss Molly Hopkins—a nice, likely, pious woman as ever was, but very homely, and I don't fancy her one bit. And theres that young Widow Drake, pretty and languishing, and squinting all the time over at my pew, I do believe. But she isn't the kind for me. Dolly Weaver is a nice woman, but a little too old, and Polly Pepper-corn is too young. "But there is the Widow Hayens, handsome as a picture, and neat and smart, and thrifty enough to pay her way twice over. There are those two young ones, to be sure, but they need not be in the way at all. Hannah is just such a girl as one likes to see around, busy as a bee, rosy as the morning, and cheery as a little canary, and, indeed, sings about as sweetly. I can see that Sam is casting sheep's eyes at her already, every time he comes home for a vacation, and I don't blame him a bit. They're not as rich as some, but we have enough, and who cares. I always did like that boy like. If his face is freckled, and his head red, he will make a smart man yet. He is chock full of fun and smartness, with steam enough to burst a common boiler. I want just such a boy on the farin all the time, to run of errands, get up the cows, feed the poultry, go to mill, drive horse to plow, and a hundred other things I don't think of just now. And that reminds me that I need just such a boy dreadfully, just now, to rake hay and do chores, while we are mowing. I wonder if the widow couldn't spare him a few days." By this time the squire had got just opposite Mrs. Havens's bard, and upon the spur of the moment he rode right into the shed beside it, that faced the highway, intending to hitch Sellim, and to go into the house to ask the widow for her boy. But just as he had dismounted, and was hanging his bridle over the hook, he heard a shout of laughter and the ring of voices close at hand. There was a window-hole close by, cut for ventilation of the stables, and looking through it he saw a sight that made him want to join in the chorus. For there sat the wilow in her term gown, with a goose-in her lap, busily ripping off the feathers in great hand-fulfs, and with a handkerchief over her head to keep them out of her hair, looking smart, energetic and rosy, and ready to explode with laughter, while upon a hen-coop, near at hand, stood like, in the very act of delivering an oration. The fact was, the last time he went to town with his mother he went into the court-house, and listened to a lawyer's plea in a case in which he had been interested, and since then he had been full of it. And now he had just been and marked out a great image on the stable wall to represent the judge, and a dozen others, close by, of smaller dimensions, for the jury, while his clients, the flock of geese, were the plaintiff, and his mother, their tormentor, the defendant; and just then he was putting in the closing plea: "Now, your honor knows that these poor clients of mine are all the more to be pitted, and have all the more need to have justice done them for being weak and simple folios, so gentle and lamb-like that they would never harm anything bigger than a fly, or a polywrog, while that wicked woman, the defendant—and he pointed fiercely at his mother—"is strong and cruel as the grave. You have just listened, your honor, and you gentlemen of the jury"—and he gave his hand a lofty yet graceful wave toward them—"to the evidence just brought into court, and can you doubt that it is abundantly proved that she feloniously, and by force of arms, and with full intent, seized and overpowered them, every one of them, and ruthlessly tore the hair and skin from their backs—the feathers, you know—and deliberately and cruelly shut out the light of heaven from their eyes with an old blinder made of wool, and abused them in the most shocking and shameful way, for which wicked treatment she has made herself amenable to that statute enacted for the prevention of cruelty to animals. I leave the case in your hands, gentlemen of the jury, knowing that you will be sure to do justice to the cause of the oppressed, and see the laws of your country faithfully executed;" and, with a sweeping how to judge and jury, the young orator jumped from his rostrum, or, in reality, turned a somersault from it, over to the stable floor, landing on his feet, amid cheers and bravows of one at least of his audience, and the squawks of two at least of his clients. He rebounded like a shot at the sound of the applause, and looking up suddenly, there stood the squire in the doorway, laughing loudly at the amusing performance. "Well done, my boy!" he exclaimed, heartily, "you acted it to perfection, and I'm sure you'll be equal to the best of them one of these days." Ashamed and cresstfallen to be caught, like slunk away, with his cheeks blazing and the freckles brighter than ever, while his mother's free fushed hotly, and straightened in an instant, for about the same reasons; and in her agitation and surprise she jumped up, and came near fetting go the half-picked client. She sat down again, however, with a bow to the squire, that might be considered a very stiff and awkward one. "I hope you don't think we pick geese here every day, squire," she said, "though I think you caught us at it once before." "Yes, but it's work that must be done, Mrs. Havens. I hope, however, that my presence here will not be considered an intrusion. I had no idea of playing the eavesdropper when I rode into the shed just now, but, really, your young lawyer was so amusing that I couldn't help it. That boy will make a smart and talented man one of these days, Mrs. Havens, you see if he doesn't; and that reminds me that I called to see if you could spike him a few days. We want such a boy just SUPPLEMENT OF SAVANNAH TRIBUNE, AUGUST 5, 1908. How very much, and I will give him good wages." "Well, that is just as you and he can agree. Our little hoeing and howing is done, thank fortune; and he can go if he likes. He is a dilatart queer. If I do say it; but he has the queerest notions in his head. He and Hannah both take after their father; and love their books a little too well. They both read every spare minute; and Ike has a notion that he wants to go to college, like your Samuel. Now, with our poverty, the idea is preposterous; and yet here I have been like a fool all the morning trying to encourage and help him contrive how to do it, just to please him." "And how was that?" said the squire, smiling, as he helped himself without asking to a seat on the milking-stool, in the most familiar and neighborly way. "Well, in the first place, feathers are a dollar a pound, and Ike had a notion that there might be great profit in stocking the little farm with geese. Then when I raised some objections, he concluded that picking and selling berries, and catching birds and game, would do a great deal, and that by keeping school and raising strawberries we could do the rest, and school Hannah into the bargain. So we are going to set the strawberries right away, a plan I was willing to encourage, as I knew it might be very profitable. "There, that goose is done, but where is Isaac, I'd like to know?" And, going to the door, she let out the goose and called loudly for the boy to catch another, as she explained to the squire. "Pray, let him go, Mrs. Havens," said the squire, good-humoredly. "You are almost through, and I would just as lief catch you one as not," and suiting the action to the word, he walked over, and caught the smallest one, and laid it in Mrs. Havens' lap. Then he walked back, and, catching the old gander, the father of the flock, in spite of his loud and animated monstraces, he went back, and sitting down upon the stool, laid him across his knee, and in spite of his naked head, and wrathful demonstrations, proceeded very leisurely and scientifically, to strip off his coat. "You see, Mrs. Havens," he said, "that I am an old hand at the business, as my wife never did it, and so it always fell to me, or Dinah, or both. But the house became full of beds, and I soon tired of it, and sold off my flock." "As I would mine if we didn't need the profits for clothes, and schooling for the children—especially if I like has to go to college. I guess it will take a good many pounds of feathers to sendlhm there," said she. "Supposing I should tell you of a better way," said the squire, earnestly, and with a slight blush. "Here you have a sung little place that might bring a thousand dollars or so; and off there, I have more land than I well know what to do with. Now, my daughter Grace is about to leave me; and my home will be without a mistress; and myself without any congenial society. Now, I like you better than any other woman I know of, and if you would become my wife, and the mistress of my establishment, I think we could arrange matters nicely. Then you could sell this little place, and put the money in the bank, against the time Isaac would want to go to college, and Hannah, who is one of the sweetest girls I know, could live with us, go to school to the village academy, and be well provided for by us when she marries. Now, what do you say to my plan?" "That I will consider it seriously," said the widow, with fanning checks, eyes cast down, and a very nervous pull at the feathers. And Ike just at this juncture crawled out slyly behind an old barrel, in the manger, crept cautiously out at the door, without being perceived by the blushing pair of lovers, and ran to the house, to tell the news to the astonished Hannah, with a good many eloquent additions and explanations. The squire finally came in to dinner, and afterward pursued his journey to town; and the widow did think of it to such purpose that she soon after became his wife. Her place was sold, as the squire proposed; Ike went to college, rubbed off the freckles, and eventually became one of the smartest lawyers in the State; while pretty Hannah married Samuel—the only son—and lived with the old folks at the homestead.—New York Weekly.

"My dear, you look perfectly discouraged," said little Mrs. Nash's most intimate friend. "What is the matter?" aged," said little Mrs. Nash's most intimate friend. "What is the matter?" "I am perfectly discouraged," said Mrs. Nash, tearfully. "You know that foot-rest with the handsome embroidered top that I gave George for Christmas? Well, I've noticed it had begun to look almost a little shabby, and I couldn't imagine why, for it stands away from the windows, and I've taken great care of it. And when I came down earlier than usual from putting Janey to bed last night, what do you suppose I saw?" The friend shook her head hopelessly. "I found," said Mrs. Nash, with bitterness, "that George Nash had taken that footstool out into the centre of the room, near his Morris chair, and had put his feet—with his boots on, too—right on it."-Youth's Companion.

ICHARD CREGAN, a tunnel-worker of Jersey City, had an experience which has probably never been duplicated by any other man since time began. He was blown out of the "air-lock" In the front of the tunnel in which he was working, up through the mud and gravel through which he had been digging, through a navigable river on which steamers were running, and some distance into the air, from which he fell back again into the river, to be picked up apparently unharmed. A new subway is in process of construction under the East River, to connect New York and Brooklyn. From the Brooklyn side the workmen had progressed about 200 feet from the dock. They were boring through mud with an immense tube or shield. The open end of this was filled with compressed air at a pressure of about thirteen pounds to the square inch. This held the mud of the river bed back, and enabled the four men who worked out there to do so in comparative safety. Back of them was another air chamber where other men worked under pressure. Sometimes "faults" developed in the river bed and air escaped. When a bad leak develops, the air is apt to escape with a rush and the mud to overwhelm the workers before they can get out. One day in March, while Cregan and three others were in the advance chamber—literally in a "bubble" at the end of the tunnel—the heard the crackle of escaping air. Cregan turned quickly and saw a bad break developing. "Quick, boys!" The bags" he called, and picking up a sack of hay from a pile kept for the purpose, attempted to block the blowout with it. Before the others could understand what was happening the blast of outrushing air had caught Cregan and driven him head first up through the vent. His hands were above his head as he went in, and he stuck fast when only his feet remained in sight of his mates. They were at a loss what to do. They could not pull Cregan back, and to do so would cost them all their lives. They must get through the airlock. Luckily the men in the rear chamber felt the reduction in pressure, opened the door and let them in. Cregan, suddenly delven head first through the crumbling river bottom, was battered and bruised by the pebbles which slid past him with the escaping air. He retained his wits, and knowing the only possible way out was straight ahead, the way the air was rushing, he began to pull with his hands. He was able to give the necessary aid to free himself, and just as his breath was leaving him he felt himself shoot up through the rest of the mud, up through the river and out into the air. The water there was about forty feet deep, but Cregan came with such force that he spouted up on top of what appeared to be a geyser. A row-boat at once put out and picked him up. "An what was ye thinkin' about, Dick?" asked a friend, later in the day. "I wasn't thinking," said he. "I was pasting that mud. But when I landed in the water, all rightside up, and stretched out me legs, and they was there, and pulled in me arms, and they was all there, I begun thinking then that ye can't kill an Irishman"—Youth's Companion. A LION HUNT IN MISSOURI. "It was along back in '87," said the "boss" canvasman to the New York Tribune reporter, "and the first we knew six cars were in the ditch and half of the animal cages were under them. Some of the cages were on top, and a lot of the little animals, zebras, wolves and deer and such like, took to the woods. Nothing got away to do any harm except Monarch, the big lion. His den was bottom up, with a hole in it big enough to let out a cow, and Monarch had gone with the little animals. "Well, after we had rounded up the cook-house outfit we had breakfast, and after that we started in to dig the stuff out of the ditch. The railroad company's wrecking crew came along to help us, and toward noon, when we'd got pretty well under way, a tall black darky came out of the woods and stood staring at us. "Nobody paid any attention to him, and he just shuffled round in his cowhide boots from one foot to the other and grinned. Seeing we didn't 'roast' him, he took courage. "Did any o' you gemmens losed a giraffe? he says. "Giraffe? said I. 'No, we never owned one. Why?" "Well, boss, Ah done foun' somethin' up in mah 'tato patch this mawnin', an' Ah 'lowed as maybe hit 'longed to you-all'. "I got interested. 'What does it look like?' "Lawdy, boss, hit's mos' monstrous. Big varmint with yaller eyes, an' hit done come a-snarlin' an' a-spittin' at me soon's Ah got out o' bald. "Where is it?" "Oh, Ah cawt hit all righty. Done put a rope roun' his neck an' tied hit to mah cabn." "Go an' get it," said I. Then the wrecking crew got a tackle under another den, and we forgot the darky. "Maybe it was half an hour later when we heard a noise over on the road among the trees—a noise like a negro driving a mule. Everybody stopped work to listen. The noise got nearer and nearer. Then a cloud of dust sailed out from behind the trees. When it got within a hundred yards of the track it cleared up a bit, and there was that big darky, with a fope in one hand and a piece of fence rail in the other. Off the other end of the rope was Monarch. "That darky was lamming him with a chunk of fence and dring mule talk at him: "Come 'long heah, you yaller-eyed ol' cat! Ah doam' know what you is, but you ain't go' snail an' split at me, holow. C'm on' long, ye-big, sassy valmint! and with that the man would let drive with his piece of fence and his cowhide boots. "And Monarch was coming. I never saw a creature so cowed as he was. I reckon any young one could have taken him by the scruff of the neck and turned him over on his back. He was a great, overgrown pet cat, with all the fight and power surprised out of him. "We had lauled his den up on to the road-bed, with the hole in the end butted against a wagon. The door was open, and when Monarch saw it, he jerked the rope out of the darky's hand and bolted inside. He couldn't get far enough inside, either—went away up, in the farthest corner and tried to hide." HIS FATE FOUND HIM. Capt. Robert Faulkner, a commander in the British navy in 1794, was a man of unusual courage. During an encounter close under the walls of Fort Royal he noticed that the pilot did not seem to be himself. The man, he thought, seemed to hesitate when he gave his orders. In "Famous Fighters of the Fleet," Mr. Faulkner gives the story: Captain Faulknor turned aside to one of his officers. "I think Mr. Dash seems confused, as if he doesn't know what he is about. Has he been in action before?" "Many times,' sir," was the reply. "He has been twenty-four years in the service." But Faulknor was not satisfied. He eyed the pilot closely, and then stepping up to him, asked him a trifling question. The pilot's agitation was such as to render him incapable of a reply. Recovering himself to some extent a moment later, the wretched man, keeping his eyes on the deck, in a low voice addressed Faulknor, who was bending over him, with this startling admission: "I see your honor knows me. I am unfit to guide her. I don't know what is come over me. I dreamt last night I should be killed, and I am so afraid I don't know what I am about. I never in all my life felt afraid before." Without for an instant losing his presence of mind, Captain Faulknor replied to the man in a still lower tone: "The fate of this expedition depends on the man at the helm. Give it to me, and go and hide your head in whatever you fancy the safest part of the ship. But mind, fears are catching. I hear you tell yours to one of your messmates, your life shall answer for it to-morrow." The poor fellow, paule-stricken, went away, and overcome with shame, sat down upon the arm-chest, while Captain Faulkner seized the helm, and with his own hand laid the Zebra close to the walls of the fort; but before he could land at the head of his gallant followers, a cannon-ball struck the arm-chest and blew the pilot to atoms.

To take a pleasure ride that almost literally bursts your head open is a novelty thrilling enough, it is to be presumed, for the most eager thrill seeker, but that is what often happens to him who essays the dizzy heights of Pike's Peak, 14,000 feet above sea level. "I went up on the cog road from Manitou," said a Baltimore man, "in company with a party of tourists, and before we reached the Haltway House there were two who exhibited such positive symptoms of distress that at the first stop they had to leave and take the next train down. The rest of us continued. In a seat a little in front of us was a young girl who had been growing gradually hysterical, and whom we had been watching curiously to see what would happen next. "It happened. Suddenly she threw up her hands and fell backward, with blood gushing from her mouth, ears, eyes and nose. The conductor, who was evidently accustomed to such scenes, told her escort to lay her flat on her back, as the pressure was less there than at the head in a sitting posture. Then, at the next station, she was taken off and sent back to Manitou by the wagon road. They didn't dare to take her down by train, as the quick change to the denser air might have proved serious. "Well, we kept going and reached top. I thought I'd take a short run in the fine, rarified air, and I didi—took a dozen steps, when my heart began to beat like a trip-hammer, and I concluded that running at that height was not for me. They told me you couldn't boil eggs or beans up there. I don't know, because I didn't try. We had our pictures taken sitting on a rock up in that barren spot, where nothing will grow but the edelwelss, and bought some souvenirs. "Then we came down, and so far as I am concerned, they can level the mountain to-morrow. I'll never have any more use for it. Manitou, Garden of the Gods and North Cheyenne canyon for mine, but no more of that sky business."-Baltimore News. So large has the foreign population of East London now become that even the official notices outside the police station have to be printed in Yiddish as well as English. SCIENTIFIC & INDUSTRIAL An astonishing number of edible seaweeds is known to the native Hawaiians, who give to these kinds and some others the general name of "limu." Though first made by Fouche and Pleard as recently as 1901, the oxyacetylene blowpipe is now employed in France by at least three hundred or four hundred establishments. Official statistics show that the production of natural gas in the United States, in 1903, was greater than any previous year. The production had a value of $33,715,000, or sixteen per cent. more than that of 1902. There is now in operation on a commercial scale, at Port Chester, New York, an artificial camphor factory, the product of which is intended to compete in the market with the natural substance. It is maintained that it does not differ, except in the manner of its origin, from that extracted from the camphor-trees of Formosa. Artificial camphor is made from essential oils derived from turpentine. In France the poetic name, "white coal" (la bouille blanche), is applied to water-power employed for the production of electricity. France is poor in coal but rich in waterfalls, and the utilization of them for industrial purposes is proceeding rapidly. In that part of France bordering on the Alps a recent computation shows the existence of sufficient water-power to furnish, during eight or nine months of the year, 5,000,000 horse-power, and during the rest of the year 3,000,000 horse-power. The story is often told of the great naturalist Cuvier that, given a single bone, he could reconstruct the animal to which it belonged. That a somewhat similar law of organization runs through the various species that form families in the animal kingdom is indicated by a curious case of scientific prediction, to which attention was called at a recent meeting of the Biological Society of Washington. Ehrenberg, while studying the minute animals called diatoms, found that many species were distinguished by the number of rays that they possessed. But in the series of specimens that he had he could find none having respectively 27, 20, 30, 31, 37, 39, 41, 42, 44, 47, 48 and 49 rays. Still he predicted that the missing species would some day turn up, and he was right, for ten of them were afterwards discovered, although the remaining three have not been found. The Close of a Hot Day. At last the glaring sun descends, there a sudden breeze flutters the foliage, light straws of dust begin to dance in circles, first a few steps, then a fierce measure. The fairy fiddles are still with dread. The valley darkens in awful silence and clouds roll together on the rushing wind. Trees bend and shiver and turn out the white linings of their foliage, dogs and poultry crawl into shelter, and wise men shut doors and, windows, for lightning rides on the draught and is sure to touch more than one of those trees or houses with its fiery sword. The roar and flash are such as England never sees. A Niagara of rain, welcome though terrible, bathes the dry earth, and soon the world, cooled and moistened, sparkles in the setting sun. Then people in light vehicles drive out to taste the air, my young friends come on horseback, and while we sit in the darkness sipping iced lemonade or shebert the multitudinal voices of the grass and leaves again rehearse their symphony. From the distant pond booms the heavy frog note, from overhanging branches trills the contented undiscoverable tree-frog. The myriad grasshoppers tune up their wry legs and fiddle with fresh cutliness. The stinging swarm of mosquitoes sing around a little lamp in the hall. Fires flies flicker everywhere. We listen to them 'and are idle—Lippincott's Magazine. A Voice From the Dead. 'A baggage-man on the Hanibal division' of the Burlington was hauling a corpse into his car, and imagine his feelings when he heard a strange, unnatural voice coming from the oblong box, saying: "Let-me out of here." When he recovered from his first fright he ran for his conductor, who arrived just in time to hear the uncanny sound. The whole train crew was called and a brave engineer investigated. Sitting near the coffin was a small-square box. Listening, the engineer weared a scratching, and again the voice "Let me out of here." The smaller box was opened and a little green parrot popped out—Kansas City Journal. Oblect Lesson on Birds. Some school children were having an object lesson on birds, and the teacher called attention to the small tail of the blue heron, saying: "This bird has no tail to speak of." Next day the class was told to write an essay on the bird, and one little girl concluded her essay thus: "The blue heron has a tail, but it must not be talked about."—London Express. Defined. The teacher had been talking to the class about the rhinoceros family. "Now, you can name some things," said he, "which are very dangerous to approach, and which have horns." "Motor cars!" replied little Jimuic, promptly. ws SUNDIAL AND ALARM CLOCK. Old Father Time has many clocks .

It had Been, moreover, of no real consequence: —merely a couple of dodrs blown off the elevator shaft anda few windows broken, Brom that moment the persecution of Ladderman Corcoran began. THe did not realize that he was not the first mun to flinch from a hot air explosion: he did not know that countless green wen before him, who had been guilty of a similar mistake, bad become in time exemplary meipbers of the de- Partment. In-the jokes at his*extiense, and in the coarse laughter they inva. Tinbly provoked, Corcoran saw only the Tichly merited seorn of unpardonable cowardice, If Corcoran came up stairs in the af- ternoon while the men were loafing or playing cards, the wittleisms at his expense were particularly biting. ~; “Take care there, Larry!"

Dan had a quick wit and a bit. ing tongue, and the fact that oue of dus kin shonld prove memual to an emergency lent a more scathing scorn to his words. ‘There had been nothing too harsh for him to say to Corcoran since the warehouse fire, Day by day Corcoran grew silent, moody and morore.

Of course you know that water bolls when heated to a temperature of 212 degrees. No matter how much beat you may apply to It then, the tempera- ture \Wwill not be raised, but the water will only be the“more rapidly turned into steam, for that Is what bolling does. ‘There Is a way, however, in which sou'may talse the temperature of water nbove 212 degrees, though most persons would tellt you that -it 1s smpossible. To make the test anit’prove Jt, you will need a ,smali chemical thermometer, that fs, oné without a tin ease.* These are sold tt n moderate price In the stores, or, if yoti prefer, youl can con: vert an ordinary thermometer into a chemleal one by earefuly scratebing the divisions of the scale on the glass tube with a fle, and then removing it from the tin ease, If you will fit it fh a tin ease, so that if Will float in the water without touching the bottom or the side of the vessel, it will be com- plete, like those that are used for tak- Ing the temperature of baths. Le fis N ge a tes Wye = Gr yf z= ees ‘When you have your thermompter, boll some water for fifteen minutes, and then let it stand until tt cools. ‘Then keeping it perfectly still, heat it again, and you will find that the tein- perature will go a few degrees higher than 212, without causing the water to boll. If you will now drop some piece of metal into the water, it will at once begin to boll. ‘The explanation of this is that the alt is expelled from the water when it boils, and the water With air in it boils more quickly than water without-air in it, so that, at the second boiling, a higher’ temperature is renched before boiling begins, When you drop the scraps of metal into the water they carry alr with them; be- sides, they reduce the temperature of the water to the bolting point. ~&nother experiment may be made by putting sonte salt or sugar into water, nnd then boiling it; you will find that it will take a highér temperature than pure water, for the reason that some ‘heat Is required to separate the salt or sugar from the water before the latter can be converted Into steam. You may in this way prove for yourself the de- gree of heat for boiling various sub- stances. “ * Still another interesting experiment cousists in boiling some water in a glass flask; then, while it ts boiling, cork it tightly, and remove {t from the flame. When it stops beiling in the flask, pour some cold water over the outside, and It will begin to boil again. Or plunge the flask into cold water and the same thing will happen. You may be able to do this several times with the same flask. The explanation fs that In a corked flask of bolling water there is some steant abore the surface of the water, and the appli- cation of cold water eauses this steam to condense, which at once removes some of the pressure from the surface, causing it to boll, as the bubbles of stexin can then escape. ‘These experiments are all interest- ing and instructive—New York Even- ing Mall. 5 | ROSETTA POPE'S.SCHOOL. “What are you doing?” It was Rosetta’s uncle who asked the question. Rosetta looked up with a dittl laugh. ° : “I'm playing school,” she sald. ‘Uncle Leonard came near, and gazed at her row of pupils, first In wonder, then with an amused smile, * ¥You bave some very famous schol. ars,” he observed. A dozen or -more “Author” cards were ranged on chairs before her, and each: card pictured the face of a’ man or a woman prominent in literature, “Is Tennyson at the head or the foot of the class?” he Inquired, his eyes twinkling. “Oh, at the head!” Rosetta answered. “I don't know what other people think, but I rank them first just as I like them, and then if they don’t recite well they have to go down.” “Pray what’ do they recite?” her un: cle asked. “Spelling and geography?" “Of course not!

BLATTNER, Depot Ticket Agent Renee W, hy Mem John D. Rockefeller is Not a Successful Man - By the Editor of Life. . IE Congregational ministers who petitioned the American board of commissioners for foreign missfons not to accept from Uncle John D. Rockefeller a gift of one hundred thou- sand dollars to promote the dissemination of the gospel in foreign parts, raised an Interesting issue. Their petition re- cited that Uncle John “stands before the public under re- peated and recent formidable indictments in specific terms for methods which are morally iniquitous and socially de- structive,” and that “the acceptance ‘of such 4 gift involves Se eee OTe, Oey Cree OE ae toward the donor, and subjects the board to the charge of ignoring the moral issues involved.” ‘There 4s no question about the wide prevalence of a conviction that there 4s something vitally wrong about Uncle Jobn and his pile. His methods.arq believed‘to have been culpable. We presume they were, But it is the formid- able, the awful, effectiveness of them that has made most of the trouble. Worse men than he have made much money by worse means, and we haycn’t bothered, but his methods have been applied with such consummate shrewd- ness and ability as to make him stand out as the arch-type of effectual ava- rice. Nobody, except his business rivals, 1s afraid of Uncle John, but people Sencrally are very much afraid of what he stands for. They think hls exam- ple has been extremely pernicious. and though some of them realize that the rapid development cf a rich country and its amazing opportunities are what have made possible the phenomena he illustrates, they don’t want him to be held up a model to pattern after. The accumulation of such enormous fortunes as we have foday, by suclt means as have been used to gather some of them, is nof popular. It is unpop- ular because it fosters a ridiculously inequitable distribution of the country’s available wealth, and because it imperils the stability of democratic govern- ment. To play the game well Is commendable. To stack the cards isn't. Mir. Rockefeller kas played the commercial game to admiration, We respect his skill. But we all suspect, that, not content with being surpassingly skilful, he has stacked the cards at times when it secemed expedient, and he thought it could be done with impunity. Thinking thus about him we cannot consider him, because he has done more than any other American to make Soclalistlé lump of money that he has no real use for,“at a cost to reputation which he could not afford. He is not beloved, not respected, not even hated, but Is re- garded by most of the community with half-humorous derision. For an able man to,come in his old age to that, 1s pratty tragic. The Socialists rejoice in him, because he has done more than any other American to make Socialistic doctrines seem’reasonable. For the same reason he greatly bothers conscrva- tive politicians and voters of all parties, who feel the need of providing against the multiplication of such phenomena as he, and are much perplexed to do it without restricting personal initiative too much, Altogether, we are sorry for ‘Uncle John and would help him if we could.

If there was a bls coal strike the supply would last the com- pany nearly a year. A high fence sur rounds the big coal pile, which {s guarded by armed watchmen day and night. The yard ts about 300 yards back from the pier, where the -coal §s landed in barges. An endiess chain ot bags convey the coal from the barges to the yard, so arranged that their contents are distributed auto- matically and evenly over the entire area of the yard, and not dumped in one place to be distributed, by shovel- ers. The.coal plant is sald to repre- sent an investment of $500,000—New York Press. : poor POLICY. “Shalt wo spread a report,” asked the first Russian statesman, “that tho Japanese, while victorious, sustained teretbla losses?” “Well, I shonld say not,” replied the: second Russlan statesman.

I was away from Lome fil- dug an appointment at the time, and on wy veturn T found ber very low; she hind Mterally vouited herself almost to death, and It téok some days to quiet the tréuble and restore Ler stomach. = “I Lad also experienced the same trouble, but not so viclently, and had relleved it each time by a’ resort to medicine. “But my wife's second attack satis- fied me that ‘the use of coffee was at the bottom of our troubles, ond so we stopped it forthwith and took on Pos- tum Food Coffee. The old symptoms of disease disappeared, and during the 9 years that we have been using Pos- tum instead of coffee we have never had a returcence of the vomiting.~ We never weary of Postum, to, which we Anow wwe orve our good Health. ‘This ts a simple statement of facts.” Name given by ostum Company, Battle Creek, Mich.

Imitating 2 Monkey to: Lure a ‘Tiger. ‘To call a tiger the proceeding was as follows: The Mikir, having first as: certained that a tlger wos in the neighborhood, would climb Into a well branched leafy treo situated cheat where he supposed the tiger to be, and after hiding bimself among tho branches as best he could, would com- mence to fmitate the chattering of a monkey, and break and drop twigs in the way that monkeys do. Then he would let fall to the ground a bundle of rags, wetghted so that the thud when ft struck the ground would sound as if a baby monkey had tum- bled down from the tree, and at the same time would imitate the supposed baby monkey cries. This would be the supreme moment, for if a tiger wore near it would often spring out, in the hope of snapping up such a dainty morsel as a young monkey, and then a bullet from the gun of the hid- den Mikir might find tts billet in the tiger's body. By this means tho Mikir was sald to have killed a considerable number cof tigers, and certainly the man’s power of mim{cry was wonder- fully good. The call for deer was of an em trely different nature, the sound iml tated being the cry of o fawn, and as this cry sometimes attracted tigers, too, it had ta bo adopted with cau- tlon, because it was used only in open grass land, from which the cal- ler would not have had much chanco to escape were a tiger suddenly to put In an appearance—London Field, NO CHANGE OF BILL.
