ENVOYS PRESENTED Jap and Russian Peace Makers Guests of Roosevelt. AN INFORMAL CEREMONY President Acts Host on the Mayflower and Presents the Commissionalers to Each Other With History was made in Oyster Bay Saturday. President Roosevelt, on behalf of the United States and its people, extended formal greetings to the representatives of Russia and Japan, introduced the plenipotentiaries to one anbither, and entertained them at an elaborate luncheon at which Russians and Japanese fraternized with one another and as comrades rather than enemies. During the luncheon President Roosevelt proposed a notable toast, in which he expressed the earnest nope and prayer, in the interest not only of these two great powers, but of all civilized mankind, that a just and lasting peace may speedily be concluded between them. The occasion was impressive. It was attended not by pomp and ceremony, but by a simplicity and frankness characteristic of the president and the people of America. Due honor was paid the distinguished guests of the president and of the country, and they were received with all the dignity to which their exalted rank entitled them. The day was, ideal. The handsome war yacht, Mayflower, one of the most beautiful vessels of the United States navy, on which the formal reception of the Russian and Japanese plenipotentaries took place, swung easily at anchor just at the entrance of Oyster Bay from Long Island sound. In order that no questions of precedence should arise it was determined that the luncheon should be a buffet function. In this way was avoided the necessity of seating the envoys at table with the president. No set addresses were delivered. Baron Komura presented to the president the twelve members of his suite. The president then introduced the envoys to the army and naval officers present, after which, with Baron Komura and Minister Takahira, he retired to an inside cabin for a brief consultation prior to the arrival of the Russian mission. The cruiser·Chattanooga, with the Russian envoys on board, anchored a third of a mile from the Mayflower at 1:05 p. m., and fifteen minutes later the Chattanooga's nineteen gun salute announced the departure of the Russians for the Mayflower. A few minutes afterward the form of M. Witte, Russla's chief plenlpotentiary, appeared at the starboard gangway of the Mayflower. He was followed by Baron Rosen, the Russian ambassador, and second peace envoy, and eight members of his suites. They were received precisely as the Japanese had been. After receiving the members of the suite and presenting all in turn to his presidential guests, the president then brought the two sets of envoys together, introducing them formally to one another. The ceremony ended, the president returned to Sagamore Hill and the envoys boarded vessels in waiting and began the journey to Portsmouth. Three Innocent Persons Wounded Dur- ing Wild Chase of Robbers Four officers of the Chicago police force Saturday night sent a fusillade of shots after two robbers who had stolen goods valued at $2,500 from a baggage car standing in the yards on West Sixteenth street. The thieves escaped without their booty, but three innocent persons were shot by the officers, none seriously, however. MANY REFUGEES IN ATLANTA. People from Fever Stricken Sections Flock to Georgia Capital. Refugees from New Orleans, Mobile and all coast and interior cities in the yellow fever stricken section are flying to Atlanta, and it is estimated that the hotels, lodging houses and boarding houses of the city, to say nothing of private homes, could show a total influx of not far from 2,000 people. These refugees are loud in their praises of the spirit of the city which at once opened its arms to them. POLICE FIRE AT RANDOM. The BURIAL OF COL. HOWELL All Atlanta Paid Loving Tribute to the Memory of Her Peerless Citizen and Georgia's Distinguished Son; All Atlanta paid a loving tribute to the late Captain Evan P. Howell Tuesday morning. Hundreds of citizens in all walks of life attended the funeral at 10 o'clock and the spacious residence in Wbst End was crowded to overflowing with friends and admirers who gathered to honor the memory of the much beloved man. The funeral service at the residence was brief and simple. Just such a service as would have appealed most strongly to Captain Howell. Rev. Bernard P. Smlth, pastor of the West End Christian church, officiated. He read a number of Captain Howell's favorite selections from the scripture and prayed in an impressive manner. In view of the beautiful tributes that have been paid the deceased in the public press there was no eulogy. The choir sang "Asleep in Jesus," and "Lead Kindly Light." Bowed in grief, elderly men who had known Captain Howell during the entire time of his residence in Atlanta and who had associated daily with him, stood with heads bared during the ceremony. Younger men who had known him during the later years of his life, but who loved him none the less, mingled with the pioneers who had gathered to honor their comrade. Seldom has such a representative gathering of citizens assembled to participate in the last rifles over any Atlantan. Captain Howell's friends were not confined to any one class or condition of men. He opened his generous heart to those who possessed the traits of character he loved and who were worthy of his friendship and interest. Prominent among those present at the funeral were Governor Terrell and the state house officials, former Governor A. D. Candler, Senator A. S. Clay, scores of confederate veterans, among them Jesse Hardage, a survivor of Howell's battery; Mayor Woodward and the present city council; the former mayors of Atlanta, now living, and the city council of 1903 and 1904, which served while Captain Howell was mayor of Atlanta; the Pioneer Citizens of Atlanta, Atlanta camp 159 U. C. V., an honorary escort from the Federation of Trades, headed by President J. B. Hewitt; the entire staff of the Constitution, of which Captain Howell was editor and owner for so many years. Herr Erich Zoepfel Quellenstein, the German consul, was present in his official capacity, and wore the regalja of his office. He was a warm personal friend of Captain Howell and wore his uniform in honor of Captain Howell's distinction and achievements as a soldier. Bishop Henry M. Turner and a number of other well known colored citizens were present to pay a last mark of respect to one who had befriended them upon many occasions. PROGRESS OF YELLOW FEVER. Situation in New Orleans Tuesday as Given Out by Health Officials. Following is the official yellow fever record for Tuesday in New Orleans up to 6 p. m.: New cases, 60; total cases to date, 616; deaths Tuesday, 4; total deaths to date, 112. These figures vary slightly from those that have been sent out lately, but are the official record, which was checked up for the day, and corrected to date. The large number of new cases and sub-foci is surprising, when contrasted with the encouraging reports of the past three days, but no attempt is being made to account for it. Of the new sub-foci three are uptown and the balance downtown. Two dead men were found in a shanty in the woods, and it was found that they had died of yellow fever. They were Italians who had refugeged either from the infected district or from the fishing camp at Milneburg and died from lack of attention. The state board of health took up the question of enforcing a sensible system of quarantine in the state and one in accordance with the state law, MEMPHIS TIGHTLY CLOSED. Tennessee City Takes Drastic Precautions Against Yellow Jack. A rigid quarantine was decided on by the Memphis city council and put in operation at noon Monday. Armed guards were placed about the city and inspectors board every train. No one can enter the city without a permit from the Memphis board of health. In a conference with railroad representatives the board of health agreed that passengers holding coupon tickets through Memphis would be allowed to transfer from one train to another. SAVANNAH, GA.. SATURDAY. AUGUST 12, 1905 NEAR SHREVEPORT Three Fever Cases are Reported by Authorities. Governor of Mississippi Is Suspicious of Memphis and Wires for Information as to Exact Conditions in the Tennessee City. Based upon a report that yellow fever was in Memphis, and as a matter of expediency and to safeguard the interests of the state of Mississippi against the possible outbreak of yellow fever in the Tennessee city, Governor James K. Vardaman, Monday called up Dr. J. A. Crisler over the telephone to ascertain if possible the exact conditions existing in Memphis. Dr. Crisler assured Governor Vardaman that he would investigate the matter, and later, after a full investigation, the following telegram, signed by Dr. Heber Jones, president of the board of health, and twenty-eight leading physicians of Memphis, was sent to the governor: "Dear Sir: We, the undersigned physicians, practicing in the city of Memphis, and having been informed by Drs. Holder and Crisler that you had communicated with them today over the long distance telephone to the effect that a physician had informed you that yellow fever was already in Memphis, and the knowledge of its presence was being withheld by the board of health and physicians generally, beg to emphatically state to your excellency that no such conditions obtain here to the best of our knowledge and belief, and, moreover, solemnly pledge ourselves to report the first suspicious case that comes within our practice or knowledge." A similar telegram of assurance was sent by the business exchanges. The following message in reply was received from Governor Vardaman: "Jackson, Miss., August 7. J. T. Willingham, President Business Men's League, and Others, Memphis: I have your message of today and accept your assurances that there is no yellow fever in Memphis implicit. Should your city be so unfortunate as to be visited by this dread disease, we shall rely upon you to notify us at once. God grant that you may escape the pestilence. "JAMES K. VARDAMAN." A unique feature of the situation was presented when George R. James, a well known Memphis citizen, applied for an injunction restraining the board of health from interfering with the return to the city of his wife and daughters who are visiting in the state of Illinois. Chancellor Heiskell granted a temporary injunction, but explained that he reserved the right to deny the petitioner's prayer should members of the board of health come before him and present their side of the case. At Shreveport, La., Monday night, Dr. Goldsberger of the United States marine hospital service, gave out the following statement on conditions as he finds them at the detention camp outside of the city: "(1) Barney Tracey, convalescing from yellow fever; (2) Ed Haslit, post mortem examination shows yellow fever. The case was not seen by me in life; (3) Ed Jones, malarial fever; (4) Albert Miller. This case was seen by me at a stage where diagnosis was impossible. in the opinion of the local authorities this was a case of yellow fever. All the cases were of men who tried to enter the city, from other points, but were stopped on the outskirts by the quarantine inspectors and conveyed under proper precautions to a detention camp and there carefully screened. There appears to be no danger of spread and no cases are known to be present in the city." LIQUOR TAX AGAIN CHANGED. Georgia Solons Reconsider Action and Reduce the Figures. The Georgia house of representatives Tuesday reconsidered its action in fixing the tax on liquor dealers and dispensaries at $1,000, killed the amendment calling for that amount, and by a vote of 94 to 69 adopted another one making the tax $500, which is an increase of $300 over the present amount. The $500 tax, however, has yet to run the gauntlet of the senate before it can become enacted into law. YELLOW .FEVER STATUS. Increase of New Cases Shown for Two Days, But No Unusual Alarm in Felt on That Score. Though there was an increase Saturday over Friday in the number of yellow fever fatalities in New Orleans, the fact that the whole situation is to pass immediately to the control of the federal government had such an encouraging effect locally that it is felt on all sides that there has been a distinct improvement over conditions during the past few days. Saturday's report up to 6 p. m. was as follows: New cases, 30; total to date, 505; deaths for the day, 8; totals deaths, 97. The report Sunday showed a great improvement over those during the middle of the week, and the fact that there were only two new sub-foci, one uptown and one downtown, was a source of special encouragement. An effort is being made to determine the number of cases of fever under treatment and allowing ten days, which is a liberal estimate for a patient to either recover or die, it is figured that there are now 233 cases under treatment. President Roosevelt and Surgeon General Wyman have both been wired by the citizens' committee of New Orleans that all the funds that the service may require outside its own stated expenditures will be supplied by the people of the city. Sunday's report is as follows: New cases, 28; total cases to date, 533; deaths for the day, 8; total deaths to date, 105. Mrs. Sanford Creates Another Sensational Denouement. The jury resumed the consideration of the Sanford case at Rome, Ga., at 8 o'clock Saturday night, Mr. Brandon having returned at that hour from attending the funeral of his mother, Mr. Brandon, on his return, went immediately to the jury room and consideration of the case was resumed. At 10 o'clock, seeing there was little hope of a verdict during the night, Judge Wright left for his home in the country. He stated that he would receive no verdict, if made, until Monday morning. One of the most dramatic statements in connection with the trial was the declaration of Mrs. Sanford that she is utterly indifferent as to the fate of her spouse. She also affirms that she has wronged her lawyer, Mr. Copeland, whom it was reported would not be retained longer as her advisory counsel, and in fact, wishes him to continue to represent her, saying: "I was unduly influenced into making the statement, and I consented in sheer desperation. It was against my judgment and my sense of justice to Mr. Copeland. In truth, I am a lone woman with no one to turn to in this hour of my sore need. When my husband's brothers came with protestations of friendship and offers of help, I felt I must lean on this support. "But I know I have wronged Mr. Copeland, and have done him a grave injustice. He may have been at fault in giving out my divorce case before it was filed, but that fact does not justify me in repudiating his services when he has been one of the few who have been, kind to me in this hour. "I want him to continue as my lawyer, and I think I can explain to him the pressure brought to bear to force that statement out of me against my will. I did not realize then fully its significance, but I do now." PRESIDENT PALMA DEFIED. Candidate Gomez Denles His Right to Inspect Municipalities. Jose Miguel Gomez, governor of Santa Clara province and liberal candidate for the presidency of Cuba, has given out an interview full of defiance to the Palma government. With reference to the Vuelta case and the Cuban government's assumption of the right to inspect municipalities without reference to the provincial authorities, Gomez says the national government has no right, under the law, to take such action. ENGLAND MUCH INTERESTED. John Bull Will Back Up Any Peace 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 to 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. SCOURGE EXPANDS Deaths and New Cases Increase at New Orleans. CATHOLIC PRELATE DIES Feeling of Depression Selzes the People for First Time Since Outbreak of the Fever—A Day Devoted to Home Cleaning. The first day since the fever appeared in New Orleans in which there was any apparent depression in the community was Wednesday, and there were two reasons for it. One was the death of Archbishop Chappelle, who succumbed to an attack of the prevailing illness, and the other was the general closing of stores in accordance with the mayor's proclamation urging everybody in the city to devote the day to a general home cleaning up. Surgeon White took active control of affairs, and opened a new set of offices in the Louisiana National bank building, which had been placed at his disposal by the bank. He inspected the emergency hospital and took formal charge, retaining the present staff. Three of the officers assigned arrived during the day, Passed Assistant Surgeon. Ruperr Blue and Assistant Surgeons F. C. Smith and E. M. Steger. Several others are dally expected. Dr. Paul M. Gesener, a local physician, has been placed in immediate charge of the sanitation work with five assistants. Chairman Janvier received a telegram from Governor Blanchard stating that more than a majority of the members of the legislature had replied favoring the appropriation of $100,000 to the fever fund, so the loan will be effected with the fiscal agents at once. The city's contribution, of $50,000 will be available in a day or two: In the -meantime the citizens are coming forward and the fund will be completed in a short time. News outside of the city shows that there are only two new cases at Patterson, and one case in a new locality in St. Charles parish. Wednesday's record of cases was again large and there was an increase in the number of cases. The new cases are swelling largely as a result of the vim and energy which federal control of the situation has inspired and from a gradual overcoming of the disinclination of some of the doctors to make known their cases. The overwhelming preponderance of cases continues below Canal street and the disease has nowhere got a firm hold above. The official report for Wednesday was as follows: New cases, 63; total to date, 679; deaths up to 6 p. m., 7; total deaths to date, 119; cases under treatment, 265. A New Orleans special says, regarding the death of Archbishop Chapelle: A sudden change in the condition Wednesday speedily culminated in the death of Archbishop Chapelle. He was taken ill on Friday. He had returned to the city three days before, having just completed a tour of Louisiana and announced on his arrival his inention of co-operating in the effort then in full swing to stamp out the fever. The archbishop, however, left his house only on one occasion before he wds taken sick. On Friday he complained of the symptoms which are the forerunner of yellow fever. Dr. LaRue, the archbishop's physician, was immediately called. He diagnosed the case as a genuine attack of yellow fever. From the first Dr. LaRue was apprehensive as to the results of the attack, owing to the physique of his patient. Archbishop Chappelle was very stout to, build, full-blooded and past 60 years of age, and the fever is always alarming in a patient under those conditions. WOUNDED WOMAN RETURNS. Drenched With Blood, Unfortunate Female is Sent to Her Home. Miss Sarah Jackson, the young woman who was stabbed by Charles Carr at Rossville, Ga., Tuesday afternoon, walked into Ringgold, Ga., Wednesday afternoon. The woman was suffering from cuts in her neck, right shoulder and arm and her clothes were saturated with blood. She spent Tuesday night in a cabin and walked twelve miles across country Wednesday. She was almost dead from exhaustion when she reached Ringgold. FIRST MEETING OF ENVOYS Russian and Jan Commissioners Exchange Their Respective Credentials, Pessimistic Opinions Prevalent. The first meeting of the plenipotentiaries at Portsmouth, N.-H., Wednesday, was of an entirely informal character, so informal in fact, that Baron Komura did not bring his letter of credence to the Portsmouth navy yard, whereas M. Witte was armed with the original document in Russian setting forth the powers conferred upon him and also with a translation of the document. The latter he read. Later in the afternoon, however, copies of the credentials were informally exchanged in order that they might be examined before the next meeting. It is now known that the credentials differ slightly. In exactly what respect could not be ascertained Wednesday night, but the Associated Press correspondent is assured both by the Japanese and Russian emissaries that the difference is not essential, and constitutes no obstacle to the official opening of the negotiations. Indeed, the president was officially informed Wednesday night that the credentials were full, ample and satisfactory to both sides. It was decided to hold two daily sessions, one in the morning at 9:39 and one in the afternoon beginning at 3. Opinion as to the outcome of the conference among those who are congregated in Portsmouth to watch the proceedings has become decidedly pessimistic. This is due to the growing conviction that Japan's conditions will not prove as moderate as were at one time anticipated and especially in the matter of indemnity may preclude the possibility of their acceptance by the Russian envoys as a basis of negotiation. The firm attitude of Mr. Witte in private conversation against the payment of an indomitity, and the insistent reports emanating from Japanese quarters that a stiff war contribution approximating the cost of the war, variously stated at from $600,000,000 to $500,000,000, constitutes one of Japan's demands, indicates a wide, if not an irreconcilable, difference between Japan's irreducible minimum and what Russia is prepared to accept. Gloomy forebodings, however, may be premature at this juncture, as everything indicates the plenipotentiaries upon both sides are sincerely desirous of concluding a treaty of peace. "IS A LIAR," SAYS BLEASE. Sensational Incident of South Carolina Dispensary Investigation. A sensational incident marked the second day's session of the South Carolina dispensary investigation committee at Spartanburg. At the hearing Tuesday and Wednesday morning, much was heard with reference to a settlement by Senator Cole L. Blease, a member of the committee, with former Beer Dispenser Morris, as attorney for the Atlanta Brewing company. Please arose from his seat, and in a determined manner said he was tired of having his name mentioned in connection with the affair. He said his name was being brought into the matter by Lyon and Christensen, also members of the committee, who were his political enemies of the deepest dye, and any one who said his conduct in Spartanburg in connection with the investigation was other than that of a gentleman, was a liar. CHARGED WITH WHITECAPPING. Prominent Men Arrested for Alleged Beating of a Colored Witness. Warrants were served at Valdosta, Ga., Wednesday morning on Justice of the Peace Corbett, R. W. Wheeler, D. W. Dane, P. I. Carter and Henry Connell, all prominent citizens of Lake Park, charging them with whitecapping. They are accused of taking a negro named Bill Pierce from his home and of beating him nearly to death. The negro is said to have been a witness against Wheeler, who is a merchant, and was accused of selling whiskey without a license. Prof. Ono Relled Solely on Jiu-Jitsu Against Brute Strength. In the presence of 2,000 people, Professor Ono, Japanese instructor of jiu-jitsu at the Annapolis naval academy, defeated "Big Tom" Frisble of Madison county, N. C., in a mixed wrestling match at the auditorium in Asheville. The Jap welghed 207 pounds and is 5 feet 6 1-2 inches high, while Frisble tipped the scales at 305 pounds and is 6 feet 5 1-2 inches high. The American used catch as catch can tactics, while the Japanese expert relied solely on jiu-jitsu. --- The Savannah Tribune. PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY, BY THE TRIBUNE PUBLISHING O 116 W.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 12, 1905. DESPITE discouragement the tinge of optimism should not be lost. An ambitious young man with a high aim in life, if he perseveres will not be disappointed, even though discouraged at times. Some of the leading business men of the race will gather in New York next week. By that gathering the possibility of the Negro can be ascertained. The eighth annual session of the National Afro-American Council will be held at Detroit, Mich., August 30 31- Sept, 1 The officers are anticipating a representative meeting. The shrunken face and emaciated form of many of our young men prove too much dissapation. THE tragedy that took place on Tuesday last at Daufuski could have been avoided, if the men concerned were more tolerant and conservative in action Our men and boys should learn to enjoy themselves without in dulging too deeply in the ardent spirits, the result of which is trouble and a broken constitution. VARDAMAN is now trying to "pick a fuss" with the governor of Louisiana. He has left the Negro alone for a minute Anything to play to the galleries, that is Vardaman the knight-errant of old, with his milk-white riding habit and hair flowing in the breeze.—Guardian It is estimated, and conservatively too, that there are about 12,000 colored men in the city who earn on an average of five dollars a week. This amounts to $60,000 a week. If these colored men would spend at least ten per cent of their earnings among their men in business, a better showing could be made along every line. If the city authorities are desirous of having the death rate in the city decreased, they can do so easily by ordering the demolishing of all of the unsanitary buildings in the city. Through Yamacraw, the Old Fort, Frogtown and certain other sections, buildings of this description can be found and many of them occupied. These places are incubators of diseases and should be declared a nuisance and demolished. THE National Negro Business League which meets in New York City on the 16th will be asked to meet in Atlanta, Ga, next year. The league cannot go to Atlanta unless it sacrifices its manhood, as it is now understood that the Terminal Railroad Station or Depot has a Jim Crow passage way for the entrance and departure of colored passengers. With Jim Crow street car seats, Jim Crow elevators, Atlanta is the champion Jim Crow city of the South. Masonic Notes. Efforts are being made to have minutes out earlier than ever. The copy is in the hands of the printer. The Grand Master will soon have the warrants of the several U. D. Lodges delivered. Our plan of lecture as presented in a few issues ago is approved by a number or the brethren who have spoken to us abort it. Let the matter be taken up. If anyone has a better plan let him present it. The entire attention of the ladies is turned to the Grand Chapter Session. Any Chapter failing to receive a copy of the call or returns, should write to the Gaand Patron at Savannah for same. The initiation service can not be made too impressive. The ban should be placed on levity. A lady who is a constant reader of the "Masonic Notes," thinking thereby, we suppose, that she can cull some secret, told us the other day that if she could, the Masonic order would be the only one she would join. From these "notes" she believes that the teachings are grand, especially as no spiritual liquors are allowed at meetings or banquets. 11 The Grand Chapter O.

Let every d I g a e be at the post at the time lam d. ness is insisted on in all departments of the work. citizens of Montgomery the association of lasting gratitude. The election re Georgia Normal And Industrial Institute. The Georgia Normal and Industrial Institute is located at Greensboro, Ga., a thriving progressive, though quiet city on the main line of the Georgia railroad about half way between Augusta and Atlanta. It was founded in 1898 by its present principal, Prof. F. A. Curtright. Its growth has been marvelous. Beginning seven years ago without a dollar, the property of the institution is now valued at $5,000. It owns 712 acres of beautiful level land with perfect drainage on all sides, within the corporate limits of the city, has one large two story frame building used for general school purposes, containing also a chapel and an office for the principal; two and a half story frame building used for dormitory purposes. This property is practically unencumbered. M. H. Principal. The Institution offers the following courses of study: English, Academic and Industrial. In both training and experience no secondary school in this state can boast an abler faculty. Both the principal and the associate principal are graduates from Atlanta University and have each had eight years experience as heads of secondary institutions. All the other teachers are well equipped for their work, one of these also holding the degree of A. B. from Atlanta University. The Institution, though unsectarian, is thoroughly Christian as is evidenced by the fact that each year since the opening of the school has witnessed several conversions among the students. The cut above shows the main building as it will appear when it is completed. As previously stated, it is at present a frame building, but plans are on foot to enclose it in a brick wall during the coming school year. The school year consists of nine months beginning about the first of September and closing the last of May. The Institution raises much of its provisions and is thereby able to give board to its students at a very low price. Board including washing and tuition are only $650 a month All girls are required to do their own laundry work. By special arrangements with the principal a few worthy students may receive limited assistance. In addition to the courses of study named above instruction is also given in both vocal and instrumental music. Thorough- ness is insisted on in all departments of the work. Assistant Principal. Assistant Principal. Parents desiring their children properly educated at small cost cannot do better than to send them to the G. N. & I Institute. This is also the place for young men and women who desire to educate themselves or to add to their present education. The design of the institution is threefold: to prepare its students to take a higher course, to prepare them for teaching and to prepare them for life's work in general, and the curriculum is planned with these ends in view. A specialty is made of preparing teachers for the common schools of the state The principal will be gld to send catalogues or to communicate through mail with any desiring further information about the chool. Tenth Annual Session. The tenth annual session of the Union Missionary Baptist Association was held with the First Buleau Baptist church, Rev T M. Bonds pastor, at Montgomery, Chatham County, Ga., August 3rd 4th 5th and 6th 1905, Rev J. R. Maxwell, Moderator, presiding. There was a large attendance in the delegation, numerous visitors, both lay and ministerial. The regular sessions were harmonious throughout. The spirit of God was in the meetings, many hearts were made glad. The addresses of the various speakers were filled with words of inspiration and encouragement. Moral, religious, intellectual, and material development were the key notes sounded. Promiscuous and degrading excursions were denounced and discouraged and our people exhorted to buy homes, live better lives and improve their opportunities in this great American Common-wealth. The reports of the several committees showed astonishing progress. The churches are improved in moral, educational, religious and financial conditions. Several new churches were admitted into the body. The association donated liberally to the educational institutions of the denomination namely—Central City College at Macon, Ga., and for educational and foreign mission work. To the National Baptist Convention to be held at Chicago in the early part of September. By a resolution of the association it was decided to establish an educational institution for the education and improvement of Baptist ministers, Sabbath School workers and others and, from time to time to add other departments for the education and advancement of our people in south east and south west Georgia, to be managed and controlled by the association. The delegation and visitors were highly entertained and generously treated by the hospitable citizens of Montgomery to whom the association owe a debt of lasting gratitude. The election resulted in the re-election of the officers of the previous year as follows: Revs. J. R. Maxwell, Moderator; A. Jackson, Vice Moderator; A. Hudson, Treasurer; W. H. Smith, Clerk; C. McKane Ph. D., M. D. Missionary. Central City College was represented by Rev. Dr. Williamson, and the National association by the Rev. G. M. Sprattling and President of the State Baptist Convention of Georgia. Among the local visitors were Rev. Dr. J. W. Carr, Rev. Wm. Gray, Rev. Hosea Maxwell, Rev. N. H. Whitmire, Rev. James M. Sims, Rev. H. L. Heyward, Rev. W. M. Barron, Rev. H. R. Grant, Prof. Tisdel and others, who made excellent addresses. After concluding their mission the association adjourned to meet with the LePaigville Baptist church, Rev. J. A. James pastor, the Thursday before the first Lord's day in August 1906 The meeting was the best since the organization of the association ten years ago. Has Gone to His Reward. In the last week issue of The Tribune it was announced that Rv S. H. Smith had received a stroke of paralysis while at church the Thursday night before. His members and the citizens were much concerned about his condition, especially when it was found out that it was the second stroke that he had received. He lingered without any visible improvement despite the skill of his physicians and attention of friends, until near the mid-night hour of Sunday and his breath was wafted and returned to Him who gave it. Rev. Smith has been in the city nearly a year and had charge of the Second Baptist Church. His earnestness for the success of his work was apparent to all, and in his way, he endeavored to do that which was right looking toward the upbuilding of His kingdom. It is said that Rev. Smith was a Virginian by birth but has had work in several parts of the country. The funeral service took place on Tuesday afternoon at the church. The various pastors of the city took part in the service and they were listened to by a large concourse of people. The remains were carried to Texas that night accompanied by Mrs. Smith, who has the deepest sympathy of everybody. Military Celebration Next Tuesday is the celebration of the anniversary of the First Battalion. Each year this celebration has been the cause of hundreds of visitors coming to the city. This year the quarantine restriction will cut of the large number of out of town people. The usual parade of the Battalion will be had after which all the companies and friends of the Battalion will go to Lincoln Park where the picnic will be had and continued until 1 o'clock at night. Extra effort will be made to make the celebration as interesting as ever. Odd Fellows Grand Lodge. For Kent. Roomslately occupied by the Jerscho Lodge. M. J. Doyle.

A COLD, dismal morning, the gray mist, rising sullenly from the damp earth, slowly revealing the outlines of a roughly built farmhouse of the usual Australian type. The locality was in the northern part of South Australia, and, as the gray morning light crept slowly over the silent earth, it could be seen that the whole place from farmhouse to fencing was in a state of despair. Inside the house, in a barely furnished room, a man lay sleeping on a rough bush bed. Presently he awoke, and, stretching his arms above his head, yawned and shivered beneath the coarse gray blankets; with an effort he sat up and stared around; then, as if some notion had jumped into his mind, he threw off the blankets and began, very quietly and cautiously, to dress himself in the rough clothes which lay budded on the floor. Having dressed, he took his boots in his hand, and, stepping softly along the cold flagged floor, he left the room, pausing at the door facing the one he had left to listen intently for any sound from within. Reassured by the silence, he continued his cautious tread till he reached rough stone kitchen. The room was very bare, and the floor—made of puddled clay—sent thrills of cold through his stockinged feet. Sitting down on an old packing-case, he proceeded carefully to whittle some tiny spars of wood, listening intently all the time. He carried the splinters to the fireplace, and slowly and inbornoily built up a fire with chips and gum-roots which lay on the floor. Filling up the battered kettle from a bucket of water, he lifted it on to the fire and stood watching the growing blaze. A piece of wood crackled, making a slight report; the man started and bent forward in a listening attitude, but as no sound came from the front room his face cleared, and he proceeded with his tasks. With clumsy hands he cut slices of bread from a rough loaf and laid them on the packing-case which served as a table. Going down on his hands and knees in a corner of the room he burrowed about in a zinc-lined box until he found a small piece of bacon, from which, with infinite care, he cut some rashers. All the man's movements were stealthy and wonderfully quiet, without apparent reason, and had it not been for the intensity with which he worked the effect would have been bulrush, but there was something in his restrained actions, in his uncouth deviators to move noiselessly, and in the sternness of his face, that forbade any idea of laughter had there been an onlooker. As the light from the rising sun illumened the room it could be seen that he was still a young man, with a face tanned and weather-worn; his curly brown hair and a short beard and mustache of the same color added to his manliness—alonger he was a handsome fellow enough, except for an expression of care which clouded his face. When the water in the kettle began to boil, and the fire itself grew into a fierce flame, he took down a battered teapot, and, with many doubling looks, at last made up his mind as to the quantity of tea he should use. Having filled up the pot with water, he put it to draw in a recess of the big fireplace; then with puckered browns he began to toast the bread before the fire, and presently spread over each slice a liberal quantity of dripping. Now his task seemed nearly over, for, slipping a pan on the fire, he put the bacon in to fry, and as it frizzled and hissed his face grew brighter. He turned and returned the succulent slices, and, having taken them from the pan, he placed them between two plates and put them before the fire. With even more caution than before he stepped slowly to the back door and opened it, letting in a blust of cold air. Pulling on his boots, and softly closing the door, he made his way to a ramshackle old shed, whence he soon emerged bearing two eggs. Across the rough, wheel-cut back yard he made his way until he reached what had evidently once been a garden, and here he found a few daisies struggling for existence. Picking them quickly he returned to the kitchen and boiled the eggs in the kettle. Then, with an almost boyish expression of gladness on his face he selected an old tin tray and, covering it with a clean duster, spread the meal upon it, placing pepper and salt in one saucer and sugar in another. With the daisies lying in the centre the meal looked fairly tempting, and the clumsy fellow's face fairly beamed with delight as he bore it to the room at which he had listened. Having placed the tray on the floor, he opened the door; he drew the rough blind from the window. A young girl of about three or four-twenty was lying in the bed. Her face was very wan and white, and she breathed heavily in her sleep. At If, on the other hand, you try To counsel what he wants to do, And things go wrong, he'll put the blame, Without exception, all on you.

"Now then, Annie," cried the man, with assumed roughness, "It's past seven o'clock! Where's my breakfast?" "Oh, Tom. I am so sorry, dear!" the girl said sorrowfully. "I've oversteep myself, but I'll be up in a minute." And she spread out her arms to kiss him as he bent over her. "Will you, wife?" he said, huskily. "I guess you will do what I tell you, and that is lie down at once, you little baggage." She looked at him inquiringly, with a feeble smile on her thin face. He went to the door and reappeared with his hurdlen. Then she burst into tears. "Oh, Tom," she cried, "how good you are to me! Oh, how good, Tom!" "Shut up," he said in affected anger, "and eat every bit of that breakfast, or I'll look you up in here all day." And the girl, smiling through her tears, tried hard to swallow the food, while her lips quivered, and she muttered: "Oh, Tom! How good you are!" With a happier face he went back to the kitchen to get his own breakfast. "She'll have a good rest to-day, anyway," he muttered to himself, as standing by the small window he ate his meal. Having finished his hastily eaten food, he hurried back to his wife. "Annie, my girl," he said, gently, "I want you to do me a favor—will you promise? "Not to lie in bed, Tom," she said, pleadingly. "I can't bear that you should wait on me, dear, and I feel so much better to-day—the breakfast was so good." The man looked at her in silence for a moment. "I'm going to the settlement, dear, and there's nothing to do in the house. Promise me to lie in bed till I come back. It's a wet, miserable sort of morning, and you'll be better in bed." She saw he was in carnest, and nodded cheerfully. "Very well, Tom, I'll have a long rest. The breakfast was so good, you dear old clumsy thing! Did you use all the bacon, Tom?" she added wistfully. "Not half!" he said impatiently, as if knowing what was coming. "Oh, my dear, my dear!" she cried. "Have you had nothing but bread and tea?" "I had an egg, and that's all I wanted, Amie girl, and now I'm off, so good-by." He kissed her tenderly and went out of the room and out of the house, into the fine, soft rain that was falling steadily. There was no dog to bark a welcome; a rusty old plow lay near the shed, but there was nother horse nor cattle about—no living thing except four or five fowl; the whole place was lonely and deserted. The man looked at his surroundings with a scowling face. "What a home for Annie!" he muttered, "and to think that for three years I've sown and waited and waited, and no rain came, and now, when I've no seed wheat, the rain has come." He strode moodily along the rough road mile after mile, till he reached the store—a grocery, bakery, butcher's shop, postoffice and smithy combined. He turned moodily away with a single letter in his hand. "Have a drink before you go?" cried the proprietor of the store. "Thanks-no--I've no heart for drink," he said, gloomily. "Your wife no better?" "Better?" he answered, bitterly. "She's dying, dying, and she's only four-and-twenty, poor girl!" The storekeeper hesitated. He went on the road to ruin himself, and as he thought of the bright young couple who had come up so full of hope and energy fresh from their English home four years before, he turned into the store and reappeared with a small box. "There's some arrowroot, and a tin of cocoa, and a few odd things I don't want in there," he said awkwardly as he held out the box. "Maybe your wife would fancy them; they're no good to me," he added hastily as the other made a gesture of dissent. "I can't pay for them, Myles. My rent is over two years in arrears; I've no steek, no crop in, and we are nearly through our provisions!" "So bad as that?" the other excaculated. "What'll you do?" "What can I do? I can't get work—the squatters won't give work to a miserable failure like me. I can't go away, I've no money, and, if I had, what could I do?" "Well, take that box anyhow, man," said the storekeeper, tendering it again. And, as he watched the other's retreating form, he sighed heavily. "Who was that, dad?" cried a girl, peering into the store from an inner room. "Tom Weston—he's on his last legs now; no crop in for want of seed wheat, no cattle, and behind with his rent! Poor fellow, I plty him and his young wife." "We're nearly as bad, dad." "Yes, in some ways, but we've got health, and anyhow I can't get a job somewhere, and so don't you, Mary, till times gets better; but that poor girl was never strong, and I guess she'll not live long." Weston walked doggedly home through the mud and slush, the rain, which might have meant so much to him had he been able to sow any wheat, falling steadily the whole time, and drenched him thoroughly. He tried to assume a brighter look as he entered his wife's room, but the loving eyes saw through his disguise at once. "Oh, Tom, there were no letters, after all!" "Only this," he replied gloomily as he drew out the large official envelope he had received. "Another letter from the commissioner, informing me that 'the rent is in arrears, and must be paid, or the matter will be placed in the hands of the public attorney! I know as well as if I had read it." His wife kissed him as he bent over her. "I've been very good, Tom, and had quite a long sleep; I really feel quite strong." "You don't fool me like that, Annie," he said. "I know your little game. You want to get up and work, that's what you want to do—but you just won't, so there. I'm going out to get in some more wood, and we'll have a big blaze in the kitchen; when it's quite warm you shall get up and sit there for an hour or two, but you must not move about." "Oh, you tyrant!" she said, quaveringly. Weston only laughed grimly and went out, carefully closing the door behind him, and made his way to the scanty woodpile. He had only just got to work when he heard his wife's voice scream: "Tom! Tom! Tom!" In a minute he was back, and bend ing over the bed again, speechless with agony. She held up the despised letter with a shaking hand. "Oh, read it!" she cried. "Thank Heaven!" he said. "Oh, my darling, it has come at the eleventh hour!" The letter was from Annie's father—the father who had closed his heart and home against her when she married, but who now wrote in kindly terms, granting the forgiveness which she had asked for so often in vain, and imploring her and her husband to return to England and brighten his old age with their presence; the draft enclosed was, he said, to help them if they stood in need of any little comforts for their return journey. "Comforta!" cried Tom. "It's necessities we want, and we'll have them now darling!" They spent two hours in the warm kitchen, and Tom, almost for the last time, bushed himself in preparing some of the little delicacies the good-natured storekeeper had pressed on him for his wife. "He shall never regret it." Annie said when her husband told her how the things had been forced on him. "We will do something for them in return." "We will, indeed," assented the man. "But, oh, Tom, how could you be so careless? The letter was from the general postoffice, enclosing father's, because it had been in the sea water when the mats were being trans shipped and the envelope was almost destroyed; it's a wonder we ever got it!" Already the color seemed to be creeping back to the wan cheeks, the young eyes were brightening at the prospect of seeing her old home again. "Tom," she whispered, "we shall see it all again, just think of it! The lanes, the hedgerows, the farmhouses and the old village—and father!" And they did.--New York Weekly. Cleaned Him Out. They were exchanging the gossip of the mining camps of Nevada. "Did you hear," said the fellow with the diamond, scarf pin in his sweater, "how they did up Sullivan over in Kawich?" "Really?" "Yep. Sullivan's saloon at Kawleh is busted flatter than the bank at Goldfield. You haven't been over to Kawleh, have you? It's forty-five miles out in the wilderness, and water, when there is any in camp, is worth its weight in radium. Well, a fellow went into Sullivan's the other day with seven friends, and just out of pure cussedness they all ordered water."—San Francisco Chronicle. Table Overturned by Lightning. A tenant house of Mr. B. S. Fliggs, occupied by Hubert Hastings, in Wicomico County, was recently struck by lightning. The table, which had been set for supper, was turned upside down, breaking all the dishes. In the adjoining room, where the most damage was done, an infant was lying on the bed, but was unharmed. A can containing a half gallon of coal oil, which was in the kitchen closet, was fired by the lightning and would have destroyed the building but for the fact that Mr. Hastings seized a bucket of water close at hand and with it extinguished the flames.-Baltimore Sun.

THE CALIFORNIA KING SNake THE CALIFORNIA KING-SNAKE That a small, harmless little snake, scarcely larger round than one's finger, and only fifteen to twenty inches long, should be called the, "king-snake" seems rather odd, but the little fellow has certainly earned the name. A pet king-snake in a mining camp out on the desert mountains east of San Bernardino, California, was named "King." He soon learned his name, and when called would come crawling rapidly out from various hiding-places, such as crevices in the stone walls of the cabin, under the bed, among clothes, and from his favorite place in the coat pocket of Jim, one of the miners. One day Jim was going down an abandoned shaft. When he had nearly reached the foot of the ladder he heard a slight rustle, and quick as a flash Jim jumped out of his pocket and dropped to the bottom. There was a thrashing sound and also the noise of a rattlesnake's rattle; then all, was quiet. Jim waited a moment or two before going farther down, and as it was too dark to see well, he struck a match and lighted his candle and held it cautiously down. There lay a dead rattlesnake, and King coiled beside him, watching. Another day, as the boys were talking in the cabin, Jim looked out the door and saw a very large rattlesnake slowly crawling up the sandy arroyo about thirty or forty feet from the cabin door. King was called immediately, and quickly came out from under the bed. Jim took him on the palm of his hand and stepped to the door to show the rattler to him, but King saw him, and sprang from Jim's hand quick as a flash. Then ensued one of the oddest battles, which showed how King earned his name, and why rattlesnakes are so terrified when they see a king snake. King sped like an arrow after the rattler. The rattler saw King, and at once put all the energy he had into his speed. He saw King coming, and knew that he would soon overtake him. His only safety lay in coiling and if possible striking King. The rattlesnake just had time to raise his head about six inches when King overtook him. It looked as if King was going on by the rattlesnake. But when the middle of King's body was opposite the head of the rattler, with a motion too quick to be seen, King wrapped his entire length round the rattlesnake. King's head was next to the rattler's, but so tightly was King colled round that the rattler could scarcely move even his jaws. His tongue ran out and death came almost immediately. King hung on until the snake was dead, and then slowly uncolled and came back to the cabin. Youth's Companion. SAVED THE DOG Recently in the city of Omana happened an incident that ought to be carefully considered by every human being. It had the elements of tragedy and there was in it a bit of comedy, too. It was fraught with lessons of love and of life, lessons which might give courage to the hopeless, lessons which might inspire the prosperous. A man, brought to the depths of despair through his own folly, feeling that his career of usefulness was at an end, went to the river's bank determined to end it all. Those who thought they knew this hopeless creature might have been pardoned by concluding that it would have been just as well had the man been permitted to carry out his purpose. But something happened which saved this being from a suicide's grave. We are told that just as this man was about to plunge into the current of the Missouri some one threw a little dog from the bridge. Instantly the better nature of the would-be suicide was aroused. His desire to destroy his own life was forgotten in his consideration for the little animal struggling in the waves. Instead of plunging into the water bent upon taking the life which it was his duty to preserve and use for the benefit of the world—he plunged into the stream and rescued the little dog. Newspaper reports say that "with the wet, shivering dog nestling in his arms," the wet, shivering unn applied for shelter at the police station. He refused to part company with his little protege and the newspaper reports state, "when he went to sleep on the bench in the hallway at the police station the little black dog was curled up on his breast."—The Commoner. T BATTLE OF NAVARINO. In the year 1827 the British Admiral, Omanney, took part in the battle of Navarino, in which the English, French and Russian ships entered the harbor of Navarino, in Greece, and annihilated the Turkish and Egyptian vessels, which were unable to leave their moorings. The battle lasted four hours. Admiral Omanney tells this of Sir Edward Codrington, the Admiral in command: "His escapes from death were marvelous. So that he might command a good view of the battle he stood on the poop of the Asia, the most exposed part of the ship. He was talking with the master when a shot came and killed the latter at his side. A shot killed the officer of marines who was on the quarter deck just below the poop. The Admiral left the poop only once to go forward to talk to the boatswain, and while talking to him the boatswain also was killed at his side. "A bullet went through his hat, in which it made two holes, and another bullet went through jis loose coat sleeve. Another bullet smashed his gold watch. When on the poop he stooped his head under a rolled awning, and while bent like that a shot passed through the awning's folds. At another time he had just turned from a spot on the poop when the place where he had been standing was covered with wreckage from aloft, which would have crushed and buried him. And yet throughout the battle, when men were being slain and wounded everywhere around him Codrington escaped uninjured." Other incidents of the same battle: "An Irishman seized a musket and, with a roar of 'Make way, there!' he swept a road through the Turks by swinging his weapon from slide to slide with crushing force. One of my fellow midshipmen named Hicks was among the boarders, many of whom had forgotten to take their pistols. Hicks shouted to the first lieutenant, 'Give them cold shot, sir!' And the boarders did, for they picked up the cold shot which was lying about ready for the guns and hurled it down upon the Turks." APACHE SHREWDNESS. With the Apaches, a really brave man does not stand as high in public estimation as does a clever thief. His chief excellence, from an Apache standpoint, lies in his ability to outwit the white man, says Mr. Cremony, the author of "Life Among the Apaches." I was sitting, says Mr. Cremony, in front of my fent, writing a letter, when a young Apache came up and asked what I was doing. I replied I was talking to my friend in Washington. "How can you talk to your friend so far away?" "When an Apache wishes to talk of speed to a distant friend," I answered, "he sends him a picture of a bird; if he talks of something sweet he sends a picture of a flower. Instead of pictures the white man has these little signs which all understand." The Indian took up the letter and scrutinized it carefully. "I do not believe you," he said. "You try to make a fool of me. These little signs are all alike." "I will give you proof. I will write on this little piece of paper that the sutter is to give you some tobacco. Go take it to the store and see if I do not speak the truth." The Indian snatched the paper and was off. A few moments later I saw him slowly coming toward me, a piece of tobacco in his hand and a look of bewilderment on his face. Suddenly his expression changed to satisfaction and he hurried forward. "Did you get the tobacco?" I asked. "Yes; but I do not believe you. You and he had an understanding before so that you might deceive me. Now if you will write some more of those little signs on paper, telling the sutter to give me much tobacco, and if he does, then will I believe you." But the Indian's ruse failed. I did not "rise" to the occasion. A. STIRRING STORY. Three nights after the Sophocles had left Albany, West Australia, an outbreak of fire was detected in the store room. Officers and men allike took turns in descending into the hold. "As they went down," said one of the crew, "they collapsed and had to be hauled up again. They were laid out on the hatches and brought round, but whenever they recovered they were ready to go down again. The captain himself was overcome by the fumes. The fourth officer lost consciousness three times, and the second officer twice. Once the latter had to be dragged from the hold by a life line." Still, however, the fire made headway, and the captain determined to turn back to Fremantle. The Sophocles was then fully 400 miles from that port. The captain's first desire had been to spare his passengers—many of whom were ladies—any anxiety, and he was so successful in this that only the gentlemen knew that a fire had broken out. And so, with fire raging below, the Sophocles made for port. The engines were worked to their utmost capacity, and the ship's hose was kept constantly playing on the fire. Men were lowered into the holds by relays, with life lines around their waists, and worked until they had to be dragged back to the fresh air and safety. Night and day they toiled, sustained with little more than coffee and ship's biscuits, handed to them by the ship's stewards. No precaution was omitted to insure the safety of the passengers and crew in the last resort. The life boats were surreptitiously provisioned, that the ladies might not be alarmed. The officers, when they were not helping to put out the fire, went about their ordinary duties with cheerful faces. And still the women in the after part of the ship knew nothing of their imminent danger. Fremantle was reached at last, and all anxiety was put at an end. Ten days later the Sophocles, her ruined cargo replaced, for ballast purposes, with eighty tons of lead bars and logs of timber, sailed for London. "And," said on the officers, with a touch of pride, "every one of the passengers stood by the ship, in spite of the fright they had got."—Lelisure Hours. Model Train Wreck- In a train wreck on the Missouri Pacific Railway every car except one went into the ditch at the side of the track, but not a person on the train was seriously injured. The train was running at twenty-five miles an hour, yet not a car was damaged by the sudden stopping. The cars were new and heavy and of firm steel framework.—Kansas City Times. Asparagus is so abundant on the Russian steppes that the cattle eat it like grass. HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS WHEN THERE IS ILLNESS. When there is illness, in the family some housewives use, in addition, thick comforters of unbleached cotton, which can be easily washed. Pillows and bolsters are often covered with cheap cotton or calico to protect the ticking. AN EGG HINT It is, not gen-rally, known that eggs covered with boiling water and allowed to stand for five minutes are more nourishing and more easily digested than eggs placed in boiling water and allowea to boil furiously for three and a half minutes. MENDING KNIFE HANDLES. When the handles of steel knives and forks come off they can be easily mended with resin. Pour a little powdered resin into the cavity in the handle. Heat the part of the knife that fits into the handle until it is red hot, and thrust into the handle. It will become firmly fixed by the resin when it becomes cool. Protect the blade from the heat. SERVING POTATOES : A writer in the Housekeeper gives the following way of serving potatoes: Imitation New Potatoes—Into a cheesecloth sack put small, round, peeled potatoes. Place the sack in a pan containing boiling milk and water in equal parts, sufficient to cover the potatoes, with a little salt. Boll slowly till done, lift out the sack and allow all the liquid to drain off; then place in the oven five minutes or so while you are preparing a white sauce with butter, flour, milk and a little salt. Turn the potatoes from the sack into this and serve immediately in a deep vegetable dish. Quick Potatoes—Slice raw potatoes thin and boll ten minutes or so in salted water. Drink, sprinkle with a dash of pepper, add small bits of butter and pour over the whole about half a cupful hot cream. Serve at once in a heated dish. Syracuse Hot Salt Potatoes—Boil the vegetables in a rather strong brine and drain on a piece of cheesecloth stretched almost tight across the top of a pan. They will be covered with salt crystals and will be very mealy inside. Fairy Gingerbread—Three eggs, one half cup butter, one cup molasses, three cups flour, one cup sugar, two teaspoonfuls baking powder, one cup milk, one tablespoonful ginger, level. Rub sugar and butter together, add eggs, then milk and molasses mixed, then dry ingredients mixed. Bake in a moderately hot oven. Banded Apples—Use six large apples. In paring, leave a band half an inch wide around the centre of each. Remove cores, fill cavities with red jelly, and spice it, liked. Place in a baking dish, add one cupful water and sprinkle with one cupful of sugar. Bake until tender in a moderate oven. Serve hot, with cream. They may be served plain with their own syrup. Fricassee Chicken — Boll in salted water until tender. Remove large bones, dredge with salt, pepper and flour and brown in butter. Serve on toast. Pour over it all a sauce or gravy made of the broth (in which the chicken was cooked), thickened with flour, one tablespoonful to a pint. Celery salt and lemon juice may be added. Purée of Green Peas — One quart green peas, one quart water, one pint milk, one-half teaspoonful salt, one-quarter teaspoonful pepper, one-half teaspoonful sugar, one tablespoonful butter, one tablespoonful flour. Cook the peas in one pint boiling water until soft. Mash them in this, and rub them through a strainer, adding gradually a plint of hot water. Put on to boll again. Cook butter and flour in a small saucepan, being careful not to brown them. Add salt, sugar, pepper and milk, using enough to make the consistency you prefer. Domino Cakes-Make a sponge cake, or any other simple cake mixture, and bake it in shallow tins, making the cake about half an inch thick when cooked; when cool ice with white ice; allow this to set, then with a sharp knife cut it into small oblongs about three inches long by one and one-half inches wide; melt a little chocolate, and, with a small brush, paint spots to represent dominoes. If wished, the little cakes may be split open and spread with jam before ice. Orange Pile — One dozen sound oranges cut into thin slices, seeds and cores removed, covered with six quarts of water, allowed to soak for twenty-four hours; then put all on to boll; boll slowly for three hours; then add seven pounds of granulated sugar, and boll till clear; pour off into a crock, allow to set, and you then have the filling. Line pie plates with puff paste trimmings, making a raised edge, spread well with the filling; bake; when done spread with an orange flavored custard; on it pipe a fancy meringue; brown quickly; serve.
