VOL. XX. PROGRESS OF FEVER Flfty Cases, Twelve Deaths in New Orleans Sunday. MANY CASES CONCEALED Burgeon General White Says If All Cases Could be Promptly Located Disease Would Seen A New Orleans special says: The heavy increase in the number of cases, which began four or five days ago, is beginning to manifest itself in the death, list, which can be expected to grow steadily for the next few days. The number of new cases seems small in comparison with Saturday's record, but is really nineteen short, as their number of cases were turned in by an inspector just after the hour for closing the report. Among the cases developed Sunday is Louis Cucullu, Jr., cashier of the People's bank, who resides far out on North Johnson street. Another case is Maurice Kenny, ex-councilman and ex-member of the legislature. Two of Kenny's daughters were stricken Saturday. Only five of the new foals are above Canal street. Surgeon White has made a change in his organization by which he hopes to accomplish results much quicker. The fumigation and screening work was all done by a central department, under Dr. Gessner, which sent squads out on notification of cases by physicians. Sunday afternoon Dr. White assembled all of his subordinates in conference, and decided to place the screening and fumigation work under the several district headquarters among the district surgeons, and Dr. Gessner will be given charge of one of the districts. Dr. White says that if he could learn of every case in the city and apply the proper methods immediately, he is confident that he could stamp out the disease in a short time. The great cause for the spread has been the concealment of cases, and the change of residence of people who have been infected. Following is the record for Sunday: New cases, 50; total cases to date, 963; deaths, Sunday, 12; total deaths to date, 154; cases under treatmen., 243. High Water Mark Reached. Following is the official report for Saturday: New cases, 105; total cases to date, 913; deaths, Saturday, 9; total deaths to date, 142; cases under treatment, 348. The figures above speak for themselves. It was a record day all around. The only feature of the report that could be taken as encouraging was that very few of the cases are above Canal street. Dr. Perkins, chief of the corps of medical inspectors, reported forty-three new cases. These cases are among a large batch which had been reported as suspicious and which he investigated Friday. Only nine of the new foe are above Canal street. Physicians who have failed to report cases that are discovered are given an opportunity to correct' their omission, but a second offense will result in prosecution under the law. This has also brought out a large number of cases that were under cover. Surgeon White has received instructions from Surgeon General Wyman not to allow any bananas to be shipped out of New Orleans to any point. It was believed for a time that this restriction applied only to localities in the south, but positive information was had Saturday that it means an absolute stifling of the New Orleans fruit trade. The ground for this order is that mosquitoes may get into the banana cars which cannot be fumigated. There were several conferences on this subject between Dr. White, Dr. Souchon and agents of fruit vessels, but they did not result in any modification of the order. FRENCH CLAIMS ALLOWED. Referee Decides That Venezuela Must Pay More Than $650,000. Claims aggregating more than $650,000 held by the French government against Venezuela, have been allowed by Referee Frank Plumley of Northfield, Vt., to whom they had been referred for a decision and final adjudication. The claims are for damages alleged to have been sustained by French citizens conducting mercantile enterprises in Venezuela during the insurrection of 1801. The Savannah Tribune. ENVOYS MAKE PROGRESS Stumbling Blocks of Indemnity and Cessation of Sakhalin Will Be Last Articles to Be Considered. The crisis in the peace negotiations at Portsmouth upon which the eyes of the world are fastened, is approaching rapidly. Two more of the articles, Nos. 4 and 6, were disposed of Tuesday. Article IV consists of mutual pledges to observe the integrity of China and the policy of the "open door" for the commerce of all nations, and Article VI covers the surrender of the Russian leases to the Liao-Tung peninsula, Port Arthur, Dalny and the Blonde and Elliott islands. To Article IV both parties gave ready assent, and the official statement of the adoption of that article took care to state that it was agreed to "unanimously." Article V, the consideration of which was postponed until later, provides for the cession of the island of Sakhalin. Discussion, thus revealing the Japanese intention, on account of the firm negative given in the Russian reply followed, and it was decided, upon motion of the Japanese, to defer its discussion, thus revealing the Japanese intention of postponing to the end the life and death struggle. This is the usual procedure followed in diplomatic negotiations, enabling the negotiators to come to an accord upon all possible points before tackling the crucial issues, and the fact that the Russians acquiesced in the proposition shows that they, too, are careful and as anxious as are the Japanese that the world should not accuse them of being responsible for precipitating the break, if break, there is to be, and wrecking the conference. This in itself is a hopeful sign. Besides, by postponing the burning questions to the end the psychological moment for bargain and compromise arrives. Then hurriedly the last trump cards are played and the game is done: The remaining seven articles are: The cession of Sakhalin, reimbursement for the cost of the war, cession to China of the Chinese-Eastern railroad, the Siberian railroad running through northern Manchuria, which includes provisions for policing of the road by China and not by Russia; fishing right on the Siberian coast north of Vladivostok to the Bering sea; the article affecting Russia's naval power in the far east and that providing for the surrender of the Russian warships interned in far eastern waters. To all of these Russia was more or less objection. TAX ASSESSORS FOR GEORGIA. Provided for in Bill Passed by House. People to Elect. State and county boards of tax equalizers, to determine the value of all property in Georgia for purposes of taxation, are what the house provided for at Tuesday's session in one of the most important bills of the session, which went through that body by a vote of 122 to 2. Perhaps the most interesting feature of the bill is the provision, secured by the adoption of an amendment, that the three members of the state board of tax equalizers shall be elected by the people, instead of being appointed by the governor, as the original bill provided. The county boards, on the other hand, are to be appointed by the ordinary or the county commissioners, as the case may be. The members of the state board for 1906 are to be appointed by the comptroller general, so that the act may go into operation prior to the next general election, which is not held until the fall of that year. The duties of the state board will be to pass upon all disputed returns of corporation property, such as are now made to the comptroller general, while the county boards will settle disputes as to tax returns between individual property owners and tax receivers. The decisions of these boards are to be final. MILITIA AIDS IN QUARANTINE. Mayor of Louisiana Town Enforces the Shotgun Measure. Mayor Forsyth of Monroe, La., Tuesday called out a company of militia to back up a shotgun quarreline established by citizens of Monroe, who were incensed at the local health board's order raising the bars a little. After calling on the troops, the mayor telegraphed Governor Blanchard for authority to use the soldiers, which was promptly granted by the governor. Excitement ran high for a time, but trouble was averted by the withdrawal of the shotgun brigade. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. AUGUST 19. 1905' CHILD LABOR HOLDS Georgia. Senate Kills the Bill Passed by House. MAJORITY OF SIX AGAINST Decisive Vote on Measure Was 23 to 17—Debate Was Strenuous and Very Interesting After the most heated debate witnessed in the Georgia state senate during this session of the legislature, lesting from 9 o'clock Tuesday morning till 2:30 o'clock in the afternoon, the child labor bill was defeated by a vote of 17 for and 23 against. It had become generally known that members of the senate intended to debate every phase of the question, so when the senate convened the gallery was crowded with ladies, and the majority of the members were in their seats. After five and a half hours of strenuous debate, in which a large number of senators took part, the vote was taken and announced as follows: For — Blalock of the twenty-sixth, Bloodworth, Candler, Carswell, Crum, Fortner, Foster, Furr, Hogan, McHenry, Miller, Reid, Steed, Strange, Walker, Ware and Westbrook. Against — Adams, Alsabrook, Bennett, Blalock of the thirty-fifth, Bond, Bunn, Carlthers, Copeland, Fitzgerald, Foy, Graybill, Hamby, Hand, Lumsden, McAllister, Odum, Parker, Peyton Phillips, Rose, Sirmans, Wheatley and Williams. Absent and Not Voting—King, Mills, President West. Under the rules, the president does not vote unless there is a tie. It is seldom that spectators in the senate and members of the body are treated to such an array of eloquence as that displayed Tuesday in the senate chamber: Friends and opponents of the measure exerted themselves to the utmost to convince each other that theirs was the right side of the question. It was generally conceded that the strongest and most convincing effort in behalf of the measure was the speech of Senator Candler. He closed the debate in a speech which lasted more than an hour. Senator Candler reviewed the arguments of the opponents of the bill, and answered in detail every argument set forth by the opposition. Senator Dunn, Senator Hand and President West led in the fight against the bill. Senator Bunn opposed the bill on the ground that it was paternalism pure and simple and that it was "sentiment against sense." He said he knew from personal knowledge of the fight being made in the east against the southern milling industry and that this was but another phase of that fight. Sonator Hand opposed the bill for economic reasons, contending that it would lesson the value of the mills and reduce the amount of the taxable values of the state. He read from the tax digest of last year to substantiate this point. He said sentimentality was sentiment gone to seed, and that was the case in the fight in the interest of this measure. Senator West opposed the bill on the ground that it was paternalism. He said an mudge amount of sympathy had been worked up by the friends of the measure, and slated that no one could vie with him in his sympathy for the little children of poor parents, but he did not believe the bill would correct the evils it sought to correct. Senator Steed and Senator Miller each made strong speeches in favor of the bill. OCCUPATION TAX FOR GEORGIA. Measure Passed in House Assesses All Corporations in the State. All Corporations in the State. An occupation tax upon each and every corporation doing business in Georgian, domestic and foreign, was what the house of representatives adopted with practically no opposition. This occupation tax is graded in accordance with the corporation's capital stock, varying from $5 on corporations whose capital stock is less than $25,000 to $100 on corporations having a capital of more than $1,000,000. The same tax is put upon foreign as upon domestic corporations. ENVOYS ATTEND CHURCH Sunday's Conference Was Postponed in Defence to Wishes of Russians—Saturday Meeting Brief. The envoys of Russia and Japan held two conferences Saturday, one in the morning and the other lasting from 8 to 7 o'clock p. m. At the morning session the answer of Russia to the demands of Japan was given to the mkado's representatives, who, after considering it, returned for the afternoon conference. The afternoon conference adjourned for the day at 7 p.m. Both the Russian and Japanese plenlpotentiaries went at once to the Wentworth hotel in automobiles. Mr. Witte and Ambassador Rosen preceded the Japanese suite. Shortly after 5 o'clock, Mr. Berg, one of the Russian attaches, was handed a message by Mr. Witte's secretary for immediate transmission to St. Petersburg. "The Japanese plenipotentiaries, having studied the Russian answer to the conditions, the conference opened at 3 o'clock to proceed to the discussion of the articles, clause by clause. The session was finished at 7 o'clock. The session of the plenipotentiaries, which was to have been held Sunday afternoon, was postponed by mutual agreement out of reverence to the fact that it was the holy Sabbath, which is universally observed in Russia as a day of rest. The Russians had not been anxious for a Sunday session, and the Japanese took the initiative, and, through the intermediary of Mr. Pierce, it was decided to postpone the sitting until Monday morning. Both the Russian peace commissioners attended service at Christ Episcopal church Sunday morning. When the Russians reached the church the two envoys were oscorted to the very front pew. On arrival, the rest of the party were shown seats immediately behind those of their chiefs. When the plates for the usual Sunday offering were passed each Russian brought forth a bill, and the congregation given an impressive illustration of the liberality of the Russians. A somewhat strange coincidence in the service, and one which was too the moment startling to the Russians, was the sudden burst from the organ of the Russian anthem, the music to hymn No. 497, which, by chance, formed a part of the prescribed series' of Sunday services. To the national anthem, the Russians sang: "God save the czar, strong and powerful; Reign for glory; Reign to the terror of the enemy. O, Orthodox Czar! Long live the czar!" The words in the Hymnal, however, were, in part, these: "See barbarous nations at Thy gates attend; Walk in Thy light and in Thy temple bend; See Thy bright altars thronged with prostrated persons. While every hand in joyous tribute brings." Minister Takahira, the Japanese minister, accompanied by Commander Isham Takeshita, the naval attache of the Japanese legation at Washington, attended the evening service at the Christian church in Kittery, Maine. It had been announced that Takahira would attend vespers at Christ Episcopal church, where the Russians had been in the morning, and because of inability of the choir to remember the Japanese national anthem, arrangements had been made to sing the British national anthem out of courtesy to the distinguished visitors. But the congregation looked in vain for the Japanese minister. It seems that at the last minute, thinking his going might attract attention, Mr. Takahira decided to go to the Christian church in Kittery, some five miles away, where he was not recognized. The Japanese minister participated in the service. FEVER RECORD FOR TUESDAY. Some Improvement in Conditions at New Orleans Begins to Show. Tuesday's fever record in New Orleans showed the beginning of an improvement in the situation. With only sixty-two new cases found by the almost perfect system which is now in force; there is every reason to believe that the progress of the disease has been checked and its eradication is only a question of a few weeks. The official report up to 6 p. m. was as follows: New cases, 62; total to date, 1,080; deaths, Tuesday, 6; total deaths, 172. FEVER ON THE WANE New Orleans is Encouraged Over Improvement. Sixty-Six New Cases Reported for Wednesday, But Only Four Deaths Occurred During the Day—Hard Work Kept Up. With little variation in the daily fever record in New Orleans, says a dispatch of Wednesday, it naturally follows that there is no material change in the situation, and none is looked for in the immediate future. There is considerable satisfaction to be drawn from the small number of deaths, because it shows two things—one that the type of the disease is not as malignant as at first supposed, and the other that the authoritles are finding about every case in the city. The generally accepted death rate is about 11 per cent. It is about a week ago that the daily record took such a jump, one day 105 cases being reported. Since then, the daily record has hovered around sixty. While eight days are usually allowed for a patient to recover or die, most of the deaths occur in the fifth and sixth day, so the fact that the deaths Tuesday and Wednesday were small, indicates that all the cases are on the record now and subjected to treatment according to the modern idea. The official report for Wednesday up to 6 p. m. was as follows: New cases, 66; total to date, 1,146; deaths, Wednesday, 4; total deaths to date, 176; cases under treatment, 414. Dr. White said the other day that if he could be assured of having every case in the city under observation and proper treatment, he could stamp out the disease in a short time, so, evidently, the desired condition is approaching, if it has not already been attained. Passed Assistant Surgeon Corput found another nest of infection outside of the city during the day. He went to St. John parish, 50 miles above the city, on the Mississippi river, and unearthed thirty-three cases, twenty-one of which are in an entirely new focus in and around the town of La Place. He found eight more cases on Diamond plantation in St. Charles parish, and four more on Terre Haute plantation. The cases at La Place are principally among the better class of people, and it seems to be of mild type. He reports that all the houses of the poorer class of people in that section are full of stegomyla, and unless steps are taken immediately to eradicate them, the spread will get beyond control. The state board of health has placed Dr. Corput in control of this work. The state board will also send a physician and nurses to the scene. Patterson reports six new cases and no deaths. Point Celeste, in Plaquemine parish, reports two new cases, and probably three, among as many children, all in the same group. A case was discovered in Rayne, in the parish of Arcadia, on the Southern Pacific railroad. Surgeon Gulteras visited Lafayette and confirmed the diagnosis of the case there. No others have developed. Assistant Surgeon Goldberger has confirmed the suspicious case, which developed in Alexandrie Tuesday. The patient is nearly well. A special from Gulfport tells of the discovery of yellow fever at Mississippi City on the gulf, and states that the disease has been there since July 20. It originated in the Harvey boarding house there, among the family of Major Gee. There have been elevases all told, and four persons are now under treatment. All of the other coast towns have quarantined against Mississippi City, but there is much resentment over the fact that the existence of the fever there was not discovered until now. WARDEN MOORE CRITICISED. Coroner's Jury Investigates Fatal Whipping of a Convict. The coroner's jury at Cartersville, Ga., which passed on the death of the convict, Liddell, who died soon after a whipping by Deputy, Warden J. W. Tlerce, severely criticises Warden Moore for his statement exonerating Tlerce from any criminal action in connection with the whipping. The jury has put Tlerce under $5,000 bond for manslaughter and Dr. Vaughan, the camp physician, under $200 bond on account of alleged connection with the case. MORE ARTICLES SETTLED. The Peace Envoys Come to Agreement Regarding Railroads in Manchuria Wednesday. According to Wednesday's dispatches from Portsmouth, the prospects of peace are distinctly brighter. The plenipotentiaries are laboring with a seriousness and earnestness, which leaves not the slightest doubt that both are anxious to conclude a treaty. Though the main points remain to be contested and the plenipotentiaries of each side speak as though the conference would go to pieces, unless the other side gives, the spirit of compromise is in the air. When he returned to his hotel Wednesday night, Mr. Witte, who was tired out with his hard day's work, said: "I am doing all I can do for peace. Of the eight articles we have already discussed, I have yielded seven. No other statesman in Russia would have dared do so much, and I have done what I have done upon my own responsibility." From an authoritative source, it is now possible to forecast with a fair degree of accuracy that the crisis will come on Monday. Articles VII and VIII, dealing with the fate of the Chinese Eastern railroad, having been disposed of at Wednesday's session, there remains, in addition to the cession of Sakhalin, which was passed over, the question of indemnity, as Article IX, the limitation of Russia's sea power in the far east, the surrender of the interned warships and the grant to Japan of fishing rights on the littoral north of Vladivostok. To all except the latter, to which Russia will agree, a negative answer has been returned, absolutely, in the case of indemnity and Sakhalin. Perhaps both the others may be modified and accepted by Mr. Witte in order to strengthen his position in insisting upon a concession from Japan regarding its demands for an indemnity ad Sakhalin. Before yielding on either of the latter, it can be regarded as practically certain that Mr. Witte would consult the emperor. Articles VII and VIII were disposed of Wednesday, the former "in principle," the latter "unanimously" according to the official bulletins. Article VII provides for the cession to China of the branch of the Chinese Eastern railroad running south from Harbin to Port Arthur and Dalny, and with a branch line connecting at Nuchwang with the Shan-Hai-Kwan-Tien-Tsin road. Article VIII provides for the retention by Russia of the line through northern Manchuria, which forms the connecting link of the main line of the trans-Siberian and the Usurri railroad with terminal at Vladivostock and Harborovsk. From both sides the Associated Press is informed that the acceptance "in principle" of Article VII only means that certain points remain to be elaborated, not that a dispute still exists. But this may possibly be only a convenient method of postponing until the final struggle, the acceptance of an article which could be used in the ultimate compromise. Russia, by the acceptance of these two articles, in connection with Articles II, 111, IV and VI, surrenders every vestige of her ambition in Manchuria. She closes the door to the warm weather, ice-free port of Dalnir, upon which she lavished her millions, and retains only as a commercial road the link of the railroad connecting her European possessions with the maritime provinces upon the Pacific. The right to police it with Russian troops or railroad guards is given up, and its protection will become the duty of China. An Investigation Ordered. Complaints having reached the civil service commission in Washington that J. E. B. Stuart, collector of the port of Newport News, Va., has been unlawfully removing democratic employees of his office, an investigation has been ordered. MRS. SANFORD AN AGENT. Report That She Has Accepted Position With Insurance Company. It is reported that Mrs. Vincent Sanford has accepted a traveling angency for a New York insurance company. Mrs. Sanford is out of the city, and the report cannot be verified, but it is thought to be true. Of5cer Goes After Luster. Officer Goes After Luster. City Marshal Burrows of Guthrie, Ky., has gone to Ogden, Utah, to bring back Percy J. Luster, under arrest there on the charge of murdering his wife. SUBSCRIPTION RATES. One Year.....B125 Six Months.....B126 Ten Months.....B128 Remittance must be made by Express or Post Office Money Order, or Registered Letter Advertising Rates given on application. SATURDAY, AUGUST 19, 1905. AND yet they say that the Negroes' best friends are in the South. This assertion is not maintained by the results of the present week. We can not refrain though, to give full credit to the few true friends of the Negro. They will never be forgotten by us. Hoke-Smith hitherto has been looked upon as a broad minded man, void of the petty things of the small politician, but recently he has developed much of the latter's smallness. His advocacy of class legislation and petty discriminative laws is below what a man should be who was a member of President Cleveland's cabinet. He wants to be governor of Georgia, but before he reaches that goal he will have to develop more strength and become broader in his views. BEOAUSE Hon. John Wannamaker invited Booker Washington to dine with him a few days ago, and he escorted his host's daughter to the table, the Southern papers are going into rage about it. They think, and foolishly too, that every Negro in the United States will become intolerant because of the act. If these papers would keep quiet about such things, it would be better for all parties concerned. THE TRIBUNE and every well thinking colored person want these journals and every white person, who thinks that way to know that the colored man does not give a "fig" for social equality and is as much averse to it as the white man. Along this line the colored man has more sense and a finer feeling than these journals care to credit him, and if the space given to such "rot" was utilized in another direction, more benefit would be derived therefrom. It has been asserted that a large amount of money has been expended on the Negro troops. This is erroneous. During the past twenty-five or thirty years the Negro troops have maintained themselves. Within the past two or three years the state became ashamed for past treatment and essayed to give each company the paltry sum of $144 a year for armory rent, etc. A local white officer who fathered the sentiment for the disbandment of the troops was sufficiently fair to credit them with efficiency but claimed that they would be of no service to the state in event of riot, etc. When he made the assertion he undoubtedly had forgotten Statesboro. This same officer claims that in war the Negro is no good. His mind is of a kindergarten sort and any person who know the least about the wars in this country would readily agree with us, for they yet have vividly on their minds the action of the Negro troops at San Juan Hill. It is truly said that one half of the world does not know how the other half lives. If those among us who are solicitors for the welfare of our people and are desirous of helping the less informed ones among us, would only pass through the lanes and side streets of the city they would behold sights that would beggar description. The gospel of cleanliness in fact sanitation should be carried to them and the ones who would volunteer to do this work would receive blessings that would be handed to their posterity. There should be no wonder about the large death rate among our people, when the manner in which this class among us live. In some small houses two and three families are huddled together where children are reared amidst filth and where certain vermin could not exist. It would prove a difficult matter to cause any of this the meetings of the Men's Sunday Club or any of the meetings of the Mothers Circles where excellent talks on sanitary laws are given, therefore these truths should be carried to them. Some of the young men of the Sunday Club and the ladies of the mothers circles should unite in holding open air meetings certain Sunday afternoons in these crowded lanes and carry home to these people facts which would result in the betterment of the race if heeded. The ignorance of those people and their short coming are upon the heads of their brothers who are better informed. The report of Supt. Ashimore concerning the apparent decadence of the ability of colored applicants for teachers' place, is not received in the best spirit by us nor those concerned. It is known that several of the recent applicants are as well trained as can be found anywhere, and for that reason a feeling of resentment against the report. In the meantime it would not hurt for our applicants for these places to profit from passing events. THE educational facilities of the colored children is meagre. For the more than 8,000 colored children of school age, a little more than two thousand of them are accommodated in the three crowded schools of the city. Despite the fact that nearly six thousand of these children are without facilities, the Board of Education in a cold blooded manner stand by and have these little ones growing up in ignorance. There is no use diverting to the excellent equipment for the white children which is hardly equalled in this country and for which the board is to be commended, but when attention is drawn to the pitiable facilities for the colored children then another feeling is aroused. The Board of Education would receive the everlasting gratitude of the large class of colored citizens and tax payers if a commodious building for our children would be erected in the southern section. In the meantime, if the board would add just one more grade to the two grade school on Duffy street, the children who passed out of that school last June will be able to secure a place rather than being set adrift. Col. Mercer, the able president of the Board, who is always alert as to the interest of the city and its citizens, has time and again asserted his willingness to help our children and in this case we appeal to him to come to the rescue of the mass of these children who otherwise would be growing up in ignorance, and thus adding a greater hardship on the city and county which the investment of a few thousand dollars in a building would avert. The Negro in Business. The Negro in Business. The American Negro is not generally credited with the possession of the qualifications necessary to make him a successful business man. On Wednesday of this week the sixth annual convention of the National Negro Business League, of which Booker T. Washington is president, will open in this city. Those who follow the reports of the convention will learn much to convince them of the Negro's possibilities in business. The sessions of the league are experience meetings. It is the custom to give up a part of the time to the presentation of accounts of the development of successful Negro enterprises. Some idea of what has been accomplished in this respect by the colored man in the last few years may be gained from an article in another column in which stories of some of these achievements are told. Negroes own hundreds of thousands of farms, a score of banks, publishing houses, drug stores, hotels, real estate businesses and manufactories. Many of these are conducted with an ability that shows their owners at least to be the equals of the average successful white man. The existence of the league is a hopeful sign. It is an evidence that the Negro is endeavoring to solve his problem himself, instead of waiting for the white man to lead him like a child into the higher sphere. It is the surest evidence that the Negro has not only profited by the help which has already been given, but that it is worth while to continue that assistance. It indicates that he has a latent capacity to take care of himself. The objects of the league are to support those Negroes who have already struck out for themselves, and, by serving as a medium for the dissemination of information regarding Negro successes, to encourage others to launch out also. As a result of its existence, the confidence of the American Negro in himself is increasing. By means of it Negroes, are now preaching to themselves the doctrine of reliance upon one another. Those who have engaged in business are being impressed with the necessity for conducting it in such a way as to provide as good service as that provided by their white competitors. Their lead- ers tell them that the way to secure respect is to show that they can do things well. This is wholesome doctrine, and the fact that it is being preached is a source of encouragement to those anxious about the solution of the race problem. An amusing result of the business awakening of the American Negro described in our article is his discovery of a method to coin race prejudice into tangible dollars. The social limits which whites have put upon the Negro are being turned by him into a business asset.—New York Tribune. Masonic Notes. The warm weather is keeping many of the brethren from the lodge room. Such things should not dampen the ardor of a good Mason. No Mason can have a high regard for the order if he does not read the literature of the order. Keep the Masonic light burning, stick to your obligation and never forsake the path of plain duty. It is expected that the session of the Grand Chapter in Americus, on Tuesday Sept 29th, will be an interesting one. Every Chapter is expected to be represented and render full reports. The entire Jurisdiction, O. E. S., rejoices with the Grand Secretary over the arrival of a fine girl. The Grand Patron went to Fitzgerald on Monday where he set up Beth-Eden Chapter with an enthusiastic membership and it is destined to be a flourishing one. The following are the officers: Mrs. Clara Ruffin, R. M.; Bro H. Buchanan, R. P.; Mrs. L. B. Harrold, A. M.; Mrs. S. P. Carter, Secy.; Mrs. Maggie Hubdy, Treas.; Miss Mattie Harrold, Cond.; Miss Ruth Carter, A. C.; Mrs. Janie Hines, Prelate; Mrs. Emily Bruin, Warder; Mrs. Georgia Woods, Herald; Mrs. Estella Hall, Truth; Mrs. Carrie Sumpter, Faith; Mrs. Dervie Singleton, Wisdom; Mrs. Dora Davis, Charity; Mrs. Julia Shepherd, Marshal; Rev. Carter, Sentinel. Glenwood Dots. The farmers have begun to pick cotton. Mr. J. J. Tucker has already picked out a bale. The cotton ginners at Glenwood and Almo are in a race against each other for it, in order to say "I ginned the first bale that was ginned this season." Rain is needed very much in this section. The Convention which was held in Abbeville, Ga., July 26—30, was a successful one, and left an everlasting impression upon both colored and white. The white reporters of the city paper, asked for two of the essays, and the names of responders to the four welcome addresses. This being an unexpected phenominal request, which was immediately complied with. Miss Abbie L. Mason, who attended the above mentioned Convention, left there for Fitzgerald, Douglass, Broxton and Garrant, Ga., reports a very pleasant time while away. Each member of the home were very proud of her arrival on last Saturday. Statesboro Items. The general meeting that was held at Banks Creek Primitive Baptist church was a complete success and certainly had good preaching by Elder Daniel Cook, followed by Elder A. Jackson, and he certainly preached a fine introductory sermon and had a large crowd. On Sunday night, Elder Cook preached. Rev. J. C. Williams attended the District Conference over at Hagan and reports a fine time, also Mr. Johnnie Lee of Blitch was a delegate from Brown's Chapel M E. Church. Miss Lizzie Brannen of Fitzgerald is home awhile, visiting her sisters near Clito, but will soon return. Her many friends are glad to see her home again. Little Mary Jessie Williams is spending awhile with her aunt, Mrs. Mattie Hodges. The many friends of Miss Mary A. Hudges and Mr. Andrew J. McClain are glad to see them up again. Miss Alice Johnson is teaching at Summer Hill Academy, near Zoar and have a good school. She is liked by her patrons and scholars. Miss Annie Livington is getting along very nicely with her school but will close in a few days. Rev. J. C. Williams filled his appointment at Brown's Chapel M. E. Church and had a good meeting. A large crowd was out Rev. Hodges filled his appointment at New-Hope Baptist Church. He had a large crowd out and a good meeting. He preached a good introductory sermon. Miss Mary A. Hodges is the guest of her sister, Mrs. Sarah Ann Lee of Blitch this week since she has been down with the typhoid fever. Messrs B. T. Hodges and Joe Lee were visitors to the Willow community and reports a good time; Mr. Joe Lee called on Miss Edith Donaldson. Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Hendley have moved into their new home where their many friends wish them a life time success. Mr. and Mrs. Russie Hall are also residing in their new home where their many friends wish them a life time success. Messrs.

BETHUEL BARSAND'S BEAR HUNT. BY L.J.BATES. and ceasing to expect bears, he sat down to lunch. Before him was a small, shallow pool a dozen feet across, dotted with little weedy hummocks. Beyond the pool thick patches of huckleberry bushes, taller than a man, covered thirty treeless acres. While Barsand was eating, two bears emerged from behind the huckleberry thicket in front of him across the pool! They appeared so suddenly and silently that Barsand sat and stared. The two were playing with a frog, which tried to escape into the pool. One bear pinned the sprayer lightly under a fore paw, while both grinned to see the victim squirm. The first bear lifted his paw, and the frog leaned. Down came the paw, but missed, and the other bear caught the leaper with his teeth by one hind leg, whereat the first bear struck angrily at the second. This made the second bear stand up and growl, with the frog dangling comically from his mouth. Barsand laughed; and immediately the two bears stood like statues, peering at him. Barsand now suddenly remembered his gun. He grabbed it, almost and fired as quickly as his confused faculties would work. The overloaded musket belched like a volcano. Barsand nearly turned a backward somersault; a cloud of smoke rolled across the pool. Both bears rebeled and vanished. Barsand rose slowly and dubiously, and felt of his right shoulder, as it to reassure himself that it was still there. Finding it merely bruised, but not kicked completely away, he picked up his musket and examined it, to see if it was burst anywhere. It was not. Then he was recalled to the bear business. Something was struggling and groaning behind the huckleberry thicket across the pool. Perhaps he had a bear! Without pausing to reload, or even to go round the pool, Barsand dashed recklessly through it, stopping upon its reedy mummocks. The third hummock turned under his foot, which slipped into the water, and he sank knee-deep in mud. He fell forward; the musket flew to the firm ground beyond the pool; his hands plunged over wrists into the mud, and he was soaked from feet to head. He laughed as if amused at another's blundering mishap, saying to himself: "Well, of all the fool performances I ever saw, that was the worst!" As he struggled up, his hands pulled out of the mud with difficulty, and his feet sank as they felt his weight. In a moment he found that he could not pull out either foot; any effort only sank their deeper. He did not laugh now, but realized his peril with a thrill of fear. Alone, without hope of rescue! His family would not know where to look for him. Fast bogged beside a swamp infested by wolves and wildcats, he was doomed to death unless he could free himself before nightfall! Barsand now lay flat, breast down, and stretched, reaching for the nearest bushes. He touched one. Pulling it bent others toward him. Soon he had a grip on several stout enough to bear the strain of a strong pull. By skillful effort he was able gradually to straighten his legs and feet, gaining enough to reach more and larger bushes. With his knife he cut bundles of brush, and thrust them under his body and legs as far down as he could reach, until he sank no more, besides having some support to help his body muscles pull. Thus, inch by inch, he drew forward, his movements making the water somewhat soften the dense mud. But this was very slow work, requiring a nice balance and much patient repetition. By and by a new peril interrupted. A large moccasin snake—one of the most venomous of American serpents—appeared in the pool, swimming across directly toward Barsand, who writhed partly about and tried to scare off the terrible intruder with a bush. But moccasin snakes are densely stupid and persistent creatures. It stopped, looked, proceeded and stopped again, barely a yard from Barsand's face. With great caution and nerve he slid the large end of a stick under its middle, gave a quick, violent flirt, and flung the writhing horror forty feet away. It did not appear again; but for a long time he fairly sweated with a miserable fear lest the silent death should steal upon him from some unguarded quarter, perhaps the swimming beneath the surface of the muddled water, where no vigilance of his could detect its approach. It was sunset when Barsand finally drew himself out upon land firm enough to walk on. His whole soul sang thanksgiving, which he had no time to express then. First he cleaned himself of the clinging mire, using water from the pool. His powder having kept dry in its horn, he reloaded his musket, not too heavily this time. Then he went to look for his bear, having heard no sounds from the thicket. Barsand found one bear dead, big "A fool he was, and he took his Soul Within his Hollow hands; He took his Soul and smoothed its calm, And loosed its strained bands "O. Soul! he cried, 'you bear the stain Of chain-gives interwave! Who did this thing? The Soul replied: 'It was the friend I love' "O. Soul, you have a flaming brand Burned on your nakedness! Who did this thing? The Soul replied: 'That was a pure carass.' BODT seventy years ago the Barsands, with three other families from western New York, began a new settlement in one of new Northwestern States. the then new Northwestern States. Bethuel Barsand was a strong man, forty years old, one of the "grip-tight, bold-fast" breed, well fitted to hew a civilized farm from the savage wilderness, except that he was no hunter or woodsman—merely a hard-working, self-trained farmer-mechanic. He did not even gyn a rifle, which most pioneers consider the primal necessity. But an ancient flint-lock musket, captured from the British by his father in one of the Canada border campaigns of the War of 1812, served his needs. Mrs. Barsand was a strong woman, one of the tireless pioneer home-makers. In a new country, where nothing could be bought and everything had to be home-made, the women, no less than the men, had to be strenuous. For many weeks, however, Mrs. Barsand had been compelled to rest two hours every alternate day, huddled over a fire with ague chills. She cheerfully said this gave her system a necessary chance to pause and consider itself. The ague was slowly weaving off, for it was now late summer, and the first frosts of autumn usually ended malaria for the year. While languidly eating her supper of plump wild pigeon, floating in its nourishing broth, hot johnny-cake and butter, luscious wild blackberries with cream, and a fragrant wild herb ten, supposed to be remedial for chills, prepared by her daughter Marian, Mrs. Barsand remarked, tentatively: "I believe I should feel well as ever if I could have three or four meals of real meat. Just think, Bethuel, we've been here over a year, and in all that time we haven't tasted a bit of real meat except salt pork." "Why, ma!" said Jason, a sturdy boy of fifteen. "Why, we've had venison, bear, coon, rabbit, squirrel, wild turkey; partridge, quail, wild pigeon, wild duck and fire or six kinds of fish, till we're almost tired." "All these are only game; they're not real meat, such as ma means," said Marian. "Let me kill a chicken or pig for you, dear," said Bethuel, eagerly. "No, I don't crave chicken or plig, and we can't afford to kill chickens or pigs this year. Maybe it's only a sick appetite, but I keep thinking how good that bear ham was which Mr. Crumly gave us last fall, and I wondered if you could spare time to go bear-hunting and get us some. Next thing to beefsteak, it seems to me bear steak would do me most good, and come nearest to real meat. I know you probably couldn't get a pound of beef or mutton if you should search every settlement within a hundred miles. Settlers in a new country don't kill any stock so long as it can be of any other use, and not even pork till late November." "Why, Harriet, you know I'd spend time hunting for anything you think you'd like. Bear isn't generally thought at all like beef, but your craving it is a good sign—it shows your ague is quitting; it's a sign that bear ham is what you ought to have, and have it you shall. But don't be disappointed if I fail to get it right off. "Tisn't quite the bear-hunting season yet, but in a week or two we'll have 'em coming right here after green corn. A man may hunt and hunt, and not see a bear in a month, though they're all about, unless he meets one by accident—which generally happens when he'd rather not and hasn't any gun." At daybreak Barsand entered the woods with his old muskebuck loaded for bear—seven buckshot on top of nearly an ounce of riffle powder! Barsand always overloaded, and his idea was that bear required an especially big charge Where to look Barsand did not know. At first he wandered aimlessly about the clearing. Then he remembered that bears like blackberries, and he went off to where an old windfall made a large opening in the forest. It was piled with fallen trees and brush, and thickly bordered with tall blackberry bushes loaded with ripe fruit. Surely there should be bears here, and there would have been if Barsand had come earlier. A number had breakfasted here at daylight, and retired after sunrise to doze away the hot hours. Perhaps if a dog had searched the great piles of brush logs in the windfall he might have started a bear or two; but Barsand discovered nothing larger than rabbits. Next he went to a ravine, where there were wild plums just ripening. Bears had been there, as even a green-horn could see. There were big footprints on a patch of sand; but Barsand could not trace them, or judge how fresh the tracks were, or where they went. He next visited a huckleberry swamp, where he wandered about a long time. Only a few huckleberries were ripe, but bears are fond of them, and the swamp looked to be a good place for bears. But he found none, ٤ enough to weigh quite two hundred pounds. It took him some time to disembowel the game. Then he partly dragged, partly carried the carcass round the pool to the solid ground of the forest, intending to take it home if it required hours of toll. But it was the slipperiest, worst weight to manage he had ever attempted, and his right shoulder was painfully lame; and the way was rough, and night had fallen, and he was very tired. Moreover, ominous sounds were rising from the swamps—the screams of wildcats, the howling of wolves, and other savage cries. By the time he had made a furling by a series of exhausting lugs, a fierce outburst of snarls told him that wolves and lynxes were fighting over the entrails of the bear, and soon he heard others prowling all about him in the woods. He might now skin the bear, and carry away the skin and hams, perhaps, but he was determined not to yield any part of the prize which had cost him so much. He wanted it all, especially its valuable-fat. Luckily Barsand carried a spare flint for his musket and a bit of punk. With these he struck a fire, which blazed in a bed of dry leaves. Presently he had a great dry log on fire. He meant to stay there all night beside his bear if he had to, although he knew his family must be now growing anxious about him. The fire soon began to run through the woods over the thin carpet of dry leaves. By the time an acre was lighted, every wild creature had fled to swamps, marshes and damp places. Forest fires were light in those times. They did not harm to green trees or bushes, because the forests were regularly burned over every year, allowing no accumulations of inflammable material. Circles about the settiers' clearings had already been burned early in the season. Having rested long enough to regain some of his spent strength, Barsand resolutely lugged his bear a third of a mile farther, in several separate efforts so exhausting as almost to discourage even his obstinate will. While sitting to recuperate again, he thought he heard a far-off faint shout. Rising, he heard it again plainly, answered it, and was answered; and presently Jason and the dog Sharp came running to him. The family had become uneasy at sunset. When the twilight faded into dark, Mrs. Barsand grew nervous. They all had proper faith in Barsand's ability to take care of himself, yet they all gradually worked themselves into an unusual worry. Finally Jason thought of trying if Sharp would track his master, since the dog had shown so much disappointment when refused permission to accompany him. Arming himself with a light axe and a tin lantern with a venison tallow-dip candle, the boy set out, holding the dog in leash with a buckskin thong. Sharp took scent and followed his master's trail about the clearing, until it turned off to go to the blackberry patch. Here Jason saw in the sky the glow of the fire, and correctly reasoning that it must have been set by his father, hurried straight for it. A few minutes of work with the are sufficed to cut two long poles, to fasten their butts a foot apart and their tops a yard apart, with four cross-sticks, and to the the bear firmly upon them. Lifting the butts and letting the limber tops trail on the ground, the two dragged the weight at a moderate walk. By midnight, they had the carcass home safely hung up. Each of their three neighbors received a generous gift of bear meat. The skin and a liberal supply of "bear grease" were a valuable acquisition for Barsand, besides making him the beginning of a reputation as a hunter. Mrs. Barsand, fed on bear steaks, missed all but a mere hint of her next chill, and became within a fortnight as healthy as she had ever been; and In a month Jason could relate more about bears than any natural history yet printed.—Youth's Companion. A Way Through: In County Silgo there is a small lake renowned for its fabulous depth. A professor happened to be in that part of Ireland last summer, and started out one day for a ramble among the mountains, accompanied by a native guide. As they climbed, Pat asked him if he would like to see this lake, "for it's no bottom at all, sorr." "Well, how do you know that, Pat?" asked the professor. "Well, sorr, I'll tell you; me own cousin was shown' the pond to a gentleman one day, sorr, and he looked incredulous like, just as you do, and we cousin couldn't stand it for him to doubt his words,' and off with his clothes and in he jumped." The professor's face wore an amused and quizzical expression. "Yes, sorr, in he jumped, and didn't come up again, at all, at-all." "But," said the professor, "I don't see that your cousin proved his point by recklessly drowning himself." "Sure, sorr, it wasn't drowned at all he was; the next day comes a cable from him in Australia, askin' to send on his clothes."—Argonaut. Strange Flab. The strangest of all strange fish must be the manatee and the dugong. The latter is the mermaid of fabled lore. The dugong live in flocks along the shores of the Indian Ocean, the Red Sea and the Gulf of Manaar, where they browae on seaweed and river-vegetation. They are very affectionate in disposition, and especially is this shown in the love of the mother for her offspring, which is much stronger than her instinct of self-preservation. The male will not leave the female if she be attacked, and instances are on record where the companions of the manatee gathered round and made an effort to withdraw the deadly harpoon. DRUGGED A WILD BEAR. OR the third time in his eighteen years' practice in the Slate Run and Black Forest region of Pennsylvania, Dr. W. E. Delaney has had his life placed in jeopardy by denizens of the woods. He was once chased by a bear while he was riding on the Black Forest Railroad, on his rail tricycle, the race being nip-and-tuck for two miles, and again at night, while on his way, a-foot, to a lumber camp, he found himself in the midst of a colony of rattlesnakes, but emerged unbitten by chloroforming the cordon, of reptiles. But his last escapade, which occurred one night recently, while he was on another night trip up the forest branch on his tricycle, was probably the most exciting of all. Dr. Delaney, in all his experience as a practitioner in the wilds of Upper Lycoming County, never carries arms except those afforded by his surgical instruments. Its railroad tricycle, built specially to run on the narrow-language railroad from Slate Run up to the lumber camps eleven miles away, is rubber-tired, and spins along over the rails as quietly as a bicycle on asphalt. Up grade he makes about six miles an hour, and on the trip down from the forest he often rides at a speed of twelve miles an hour. On the night in question, which was quite starlight, when five miles up into the forest region, he behold the form of what he believed to be a man in the middle of the track. At seventy-five feet away the rays from the headlight on his little car fell with sufficient strength upon the object to disclose the fact that it was not a man, but a monster black bear. It was in a tranum of fright and rage, and chopped its jaws with snaps that boded no good for Dr. Delaney, who, by this time had brought his machine to a standsill and dismounted. The distinct rattle of a chain in the vicinity of the bear told the doctor that brain was a prisoner, and he guessed aright that the bear had been caught in a trap, and in attempting, in his flight with the trap and "drug," to cross the railroad, the "drag" had become fastened against the rail and was holding the maddened bear fast. By focusing the lantern light on the bear Dr. Delaney could discern the fact that the heavy steel trap was fast on the bear's front paw, and that the claim which field him to the fastened "drag" was about five feet long. The bear at first wildly endeavored to release itself that it might continue its flight, tugging at the chain until it looked as though its paw would be torn off its leg. Indeed, in one of its frantic attempts to gain its freedom the bear clenched its jaws down over the imprisoned foot as though to chew it off—a fent not unknown on part of entrapped black bears. But finally the animal gave up its endeavor to release itself, and, as though he were responsible for its plight, it plunged furiously toward the doctor, and for a quarter of an hour kept up its mad attempts until utterly exhausted. Dr. Delaney was in a quandary. The telephone message which had summoned him up to the camp stated that a man there must have a doctor before many hours or he would be dead. Dr. Delaney had six miles to go yet, and the only means of transportation over the long, rough road was his tricycle car. He couldn't carry the machine around the bear, so the only thing left was to get the bear out of the way. His experience with the rattlesnakes stood him in good stead, and he decided to try the same trick on the bear, for its exhausted condition he believed that he might be able to success. fully administer chloroform. The bear by this time was resting, worn out and panting, on its hunkers. Dr. Delaney cut a stout stick about eight feet long and knotted his handkerchief about one end of it. He then took from his medicine chest on the tricycle car a pint bottle of chloroform, saturated the handkerchief with the stuff and shoved it under the bear's nose. Naturally enough, and as the doctor had hoped, the bear snapped at the white lump and soon had the thing in his mouth. The chloroform affected the animal even more quickly than the doctor had calculated upon, and at the end of five minutes he made no resistance to having the stick, with its handkerchief resooked in chloroform, rubbed about his nose. In ten minutes he was sprawled on the ground in a stupor, though Dr. Delaney waited five minutes longer before he attempted to approach. He then determined that the bear was helpless, and first, unfastening the "drag" from the rail, he proceeded to roll the lumbering bruin off the track. And then Dr. Delaney did something characteristic. Looking at the imprisoned brute, with its paw pinched like in a vise in the sharp-toothed steel trap, he decided to release it. With a long-handled wrench out of the tricycle tool box he pried open the jaws of the trap until he could draw the bear's pay out of it. Examining the leg where the trap had snapped down on it, Dr. Delaney felt satisfied that there were no bones broken, and with the handkerchief with which he had chloroformed the bear he bandaged the beast's wounds, pouring on a plentiful quantity of liliment. This done, he left the bear to sleep off its poison. Four hours' later, just at the break of day, when Dr. Delaney returned from camp, the bear had disappeared.—Philadelphia Record. ROPES A CALIFORNIA LION. A fight worthy of being recounted in any tale of thrilling adventure was enacted on the Morrow ranch, which lies on the Mount Hamilton range extending from the observatory south for many miles, writes a correspondent from San Jose, Cal. During the last month E. F. Robinson, foreman of the ranch, had noticed that their young colts were decreasing in numbers with alarming raidicity. Almost every morning the mangled carcass of a colt would be found. Tracks around the slaughtered animals told the story of the mountain lion. A close-watch was kept, but the depredations continued as before and the lion evaded all efforts to kill him or drive him away. One morning Robinson, with a bunch of cowboys, was rounding up some stock in a remote section of the ranch, when the dog with them started a large animal in a thicket. They tried to send the dog into the bushes, but he cowered away. Suddenly an immense California lion left the cover and ran up a large oak tree near by. There were no weapons in the crowd, and Robinson was afraid to send one of the men to the wagon for a rifle lest they lose sight entirely of the animal. Accordingly they formed a cordon around the tree and let their riatas at the lion. The animal stood at bay and warded off the rawlides with his paws. The men had almost despaired of accomplishing anything, when Selby Trimble, the crack rider of the Morrow ranch, volunteered to leave the circle and climb a nearby tree to endeavor to cast a rope in a different manner. He did this at the risk of his life. After repeated failures he succeeded when the lion's head was turned the opposite way. The other riatas fell quickly one after the other and the animal was hung then and there. The skin is in beautiful condition, and measures over seven feet from tip to tip. It is at present at the Santa Clara tannery. AMERICAN SAILORS IN BATTLE. Gardner W. Allen, in his recent book, "Our Navy and the Barbary Corsair", retells the story of how Commodore Stephen Decatur, then a lieutenant in the United States Navy, attacked a Tripolitan vessel. The incident occurred in 1804, when Preble was lying off Tripoli. Young Decatur had been told that the captain of this vessel had treacherously murdered his brother, John Decatur, after he had surrendered to him. Mr. Allen writes: "He ran alongside and at once boarded with Macdonough and the remnant of his crew. Decatur singled out the captain, a man of great size and strength, and attacked him furiously. The Tripolitan made a thrust with his boarding pike and, in attempting to parry the blow, Decatur's cutlass was broken off at the hilt, leaving him for the moment unarmed. Another thrust of the pike wounded him in the arm. Decatur spized the weapon, wrenched it away and grappled with his antagonist. After a short struggle they fell to the deck, with Decatur on top. "Meanwhile, the two crews were fighting furiously about their leaders, and a Tripolitan aimed a blow at Decatur's head with his scimitar, when a seaman named Daniel Frazier, having both arms disabled by wounds, interposed his head and received the blow, which had open the scalp. The Tripolitan captain, being more powerful than Decatur, soon turned him underneath and, holding him down with his left hand, drew a knife and was about to plunge it into his breast. "Decatur seized the uplifted arm with his left hand, while he managed to get his right into his pocket, where he had a pistol. Giving it the proper direction, he fired through the pocket. The giant relaxed his hold and fell dead. Having lost seventeen killed, including their leader, the seven surviving Tripolitans, four of whom were wounded, soon gave up the fight." BAYONETS. It is a phrase merely to those of us who do not know war at first hand: "Then the men threw themselves on the bayonets of the enemy." It sounds desperate and dramatic, but this account in Blackwood's Magazine by a naval sub-leutenant at Port Arthur shows what it really means: For thirty long minutes a hand-to-hand struggle had continued. Men threw grenades in each other's faces. Half-demented Sanural fung themselves upon the bayonets of the dozen Muscovites that held the traverse in the trench. Who shall say that the day of the bayonet is past? Although there was not a breech that had not its cartridge in the chamber, yet men roused to the limit of their animal fury overlook the mechanical appliances that make war easy. They thirsted to come to grips, and to grips they came. But it had to end. The old colonel had fought his way through his own men to the very point of the struggle. He stood on the parapet, and his rich voice for a second curbed the fury of the wild creatures struggling beside him. "Throw yourselves on their bayonets, honorable comrades!" he shouted. "Those who come behind will do the rest." His men heard him; his officers heard him. Eight stalwarts dropped their rifles, held their hands above their heads and flung themselves against the traverse. Before the Russian defenders could extricate—the bayonets from their bodies the whole pack of the war-dogs had surged over them. The trench was won. The Mango. The mango is a most popular fruit in Cuba, where it is preferred in the raw state, but also often preserved or stewed. The raw mango has a pulp not unlike a peach in color and texture, and 'is exceedingly juicy. When stewed the mango resembles rhubarb. SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIA The scientist is lacking in imagination who stops with the phenomena he can observe and falls to follow them to the conclusions to which they point but cannot lead. To find a fossil bone is the work of an excavator who is skilled with pick and shovel; to build around that bone the complete anatomy of an extinct giant saurian is the work of a genius willose imagination is closely allied to that of a poet. The state of knowledge concerning the distribution of magnetic forces over the greater portion of the earth is admittedly very unsatisfactory, on account of the lack of precise data from the oceanic areas. Professor Arthur Schuster says that he believes no material progress in terrestrial magnetism is possible until the magnetic constants of the great ocean basins, especially the Pacific, have been more accurately determined. The floating breakwater under test at Torquay is a timber frame sinking to a depth of forty feet and supported at the land end by pontoons, the structure being thus tilted toward the sea. The frame is moored on both sides by long chains. As storms have little effect below a depth of twelve or fifteen feet it is believed that the structure will effectly break the force of the sea, and experience with buoys and pontoons gives confidence that the chains will hold. A rubber film glove, according to the Indianapolis News, has been devised for surgeons. The gloves are "put on" by immersing the hands in a weak solution of gutta percha in benzine or acetone. The purpose of the film is to seal the surfaces of the hands with an insoluble, impervious and practically imperceptible pellicle, which will not admit blood, pus or secretions. Such a protective measure, for surgeons is said to be preferable, to working with rubber gloves, inasmuch as the sense of touch or pliability of the skin is not impaired in any, way. Adrenalin, which has made bloodless surgery possible, is the active principle of the suprarenal glands, two imperfectly understood little bodies placed over the kidneys and in man about as large as marbles. The properties of the secretion of these glands led to a long search for the active principle, and this was at last isolated in 1001 by Dr. J. Takamine, the Japanese chemist. The discovery has proven of extraordinary importance. Adrenalin is a powerful astringent, and drives the blood away from any living surface; it is especially useful in delicate surgery upon the nose and throat, but it stops dangerous hemorrhages, relieves congestion of the eye, and is the most powerful heart stimulant known, The Value of Fruits The great error in the use of fruits consists in making them a dessert; in crowding the stomach with them when it is already full, in eating them at all times between meals when there is no natural demand nor desire for them. When taken along with the food, as food, and in moderation, they are highly conducive to health, and appear to be providently sent at a season when the body requires that cooling and antiseptic aliment which, they are so well calculated to afford. Of all the fruit with which we are blessed the peach is the most delicious and digestible. There is nothing more palatable and wholesome than fresh, ripe peaches. They should be ripe but not overripe and half rotten; and of this kind they may make a part of either meal, cr be eaten in moderation when the stomach is empty, between meals; but it is better to make them part of the regular meal. Plums are less digestible than peaches, on account of their pulp; and all pulpy stone fruits are more or less digestible, and prone to ferment on the stomach, causing intestinal disturbance. This is a frequent cause of disease, especially with children, who often eat them when half ripe, and generally swallow them, pulp, seeds and all. In eating them the juice alone should be taken into the stomach—Passerbyterian Banner. An Expensive Kiss. A kiss delivered two years ago in an office in Francis street by a young woman stenographer to her employer promises to block the extension of Grand avenue sewer and to cause the city no end of embarrassment. The employer, as an inducement to his stenographer to kiss him, deeded her a lot in block 5, Oakland Park addition. The board of public works now wants to extend Grand avenue sewer through this lot. The young woman refuses to grant permission without consideration of $100. This the board is reluctant to do. The young woman is firm, however, and it is impossible to say how the matter will terminate. -St. Joseph (Mo.) News-Press Her Magnificent Jewels. The Countess Boni de Castellane has been making Parisian tongues wag by, displaying a greater profusion of magnificent jewelry than the sober taste of the old denizens of the Faubourg St. Germain can approve. At the soirée with which the Countess Greffeuehle inaugurated the season of Italian opera, Countess Boni appeared wearing for the first time a collar of pearls so conspicuous for size and beauty that a murmur of wonder greeted her entry; and a malicious princess of the old school, leveling her lorgnette, exclaimed in a loud aside: "The triumph of money over taste!" I was not asked if I should like to come, I have not seen my host here since I came, Or had a word of welcome in his name, Some say that we shall never see him, some That we shall see him elsewhere, and then know Why we were bid. How long I am to stay I have not the least notion. None, they say. Was it told when he should come or go. But every now and then there bursts up The song and mirricks a lamentable noise. A sound of shricks and sobs that strikes our joys. Dumb in our breasts, and then some one is goofy. They say we meet him. None, knows where or when; We know we shall not meet him* here again. A STORY OF THE DEAD ROOM. By CAPT. BARCLAY. PRESUME, doctor, there are many sorrowful scenes which present themselves in your profession." I remarked to the surgeon of our regiment, as I spent an evening in his tent, while we lay encamped near the river in a Southern seaport town. "Yes, indeed," he replied, with an air of nonchalance. "But then, captain, you are a soldier, and you know how a fellow will get used to almost anything. You do not shudder now at seeing dead men lying around, as you used to, do you? "Well, no," I replied, "that is too true." "I remember one incident in my life, when a student of medicine in the office of old Dr. F——," continued the doctor, "that never has been erased from my memory. It is fully a quarter of a century since it occurred, and yet I remember it well. I would to heaven it could pass from mind. "War is full of horrors," continued the doctor, "and I have been in hospitals where the shrieks of the wounded and the groans of the dying mingled, and went about my business almost as the weaver listens to the sound of his looms. But this is a story of the deadroom, where no sound is heard but the sharpening of the scalpel and the almost nolessless tread of the surgeon. "Among the professors in the medical college at that time was an English surgeon. He was a man of brilliant attainments, both as a scholar and as a surgeon." "He was probably sixty years of age, and had no family, at least he never spoke of one. Why he left his native land, and why he hardly ever smiled, no one seemed to know, and probably no one cared to ask. We, as students, paid our money for a knowledge of medicine and surgery, and did not trouble ourselves about the history of those who taught us. "The winter season of lectures had commenced, and students from nearly every section of the United States were in the city to attend them. Subjects for dissection were required, and sometimes, like other articles in the market, the supply exceeded the demand, and at other times the dead-room was short. Body-snatchers were employed at the current rates, and were paid for the bodies furnished according to the law of supply and demand. Subjects were scarce and in demand the winter I have named, and prices rose accordingly. "I happened in the English professor's room one morning to examine a medical work on a subject that required my attention. A gentle rap came on the door, and the doctor said, 'Walk in.' "I knew the visitor and his calling at a glance. His soulless eyes glanced cautiously around the room, and then he asked, in a whisper: "All right, doctor?" "Yes; one of my students,' replied the surgeon. "Have a fresh stuff, doctor. Found it floating in the harbor at daylight this morning. Female, about fifty, and good form. From an English vessel, no doubt." "What is the price?' asked the surgeon. "Cannot deliver it at the college for less than a hundred,' was the reply. "Too much,' answered the surgeon. 'You are above the market price.' "Sorry we cannot agree,' said the man, with a scowl; 'but the fact is, doctor, no class of individuals take such risks and work as hard for our money as us, and mostly for the benefit of science.' "He was about to depart when the surgeon called him back." "Make it seventy-five, and you can bring the subject." "Sorry, doctor, but I can't. You see, Jim and I are in partnership in this sliff, as he happened to be in the boat with me, and come to divide the price, it is only fifty each. We honestly earn every cent we ask." "Well, replied the surgeon, 'bring the subject to the dead-room to-night, and your price shall be paid.'" "The following day the professor announced in his morning lecture that a fine female subject had been obtained, and that in the afternoon he should dissect it in their presence and for their benefit in the science of obstetrics. A full class and a careful hearing were demanded. "The subject had been placed on the dissecting table of the dead-room, and a white sheet carefully secured it from view. A full class was in attendance at the afternoon exercises. "The professor dwelt with warmth upon this delicate branch of medical science, and said the theme was profound, and in part revealed the wonder of our creation. "Stepping from the platform with scalpel in hand, he then advanced to the table, removed the sheet from the corpse, and while gazing upon the face of the dead woman, the color left his checks, the scalpel shook in his hand, he gasped for breath, and said: "Jane, Jane! Great Heaven, it is Jane! and fell in my arms. "Restoratives were applied to his bloodless lips, and, when he had recovered sufficiently to speak, he said: "Gentlemen, I am ill. There will be no dissection this afternoon. Leave the room. To-morrow meet me at the usual hour." "What became of the dead body we never learned. It was removed that night, by whom and to what place were never known to us. The surgeon also disappeared that night, and never entered the college again. What became of him always remained a mystery. He may have departed for Europe in the morning upon some vessel leaving port, or he may have committed suicide. A body resembling the doctor was found floating in the East River, New York, some weeks after, but it was too much decomposed for identification. "The mystery connected with the dead-room was never fully explained. Rumor had it, but it was never fully confirmed, that the doctor's wife had deserted him in England many years previous to this event, and ran away with a British sea captain, and that the doctor came to America under an assumed name. Being a skillful surgeon, he readily obtained the honored position he held. "How the woman met her untimely death no one ever knew. Her paramour may have become tired of her, as is the general result in such cases, and she may have welcomed death in a watery grave, or she may have accidentally fallen from the ship's deck. That she was the doctor's wife there can be no doubt. "Now, captain," continued the doctor, "I have told you the story of the dead-room. The mystery connected with the affair can only be left to conjecture."—New York Weekly. Can Birda Smell? Most sportsmen are agroed that when a carcass is hidden, by never so slight a screen, it is safe from the attacks of vultures and other carrion caterers. It is customary, in the tropies, when a single hunter has killed an animal too large for him to carry home alone, to disembowel it and hide the body in some near-by bush or hole. On returning with natives to remove the carcass a circle of vultures will always be found surrounding the spot where they have deroured the offal, quite unaware that the best part of the killing lies hidden within a few feet of them. Although all birds seem to have small olfactory bulbs, there is considerable evidence indicating that they have no sense of smell whatever. Mr. Alex Hill, of Downing College, reports a number of interesting experiments to test this question. All he could find in support of the view that birds can smell is the belief which prevails among bird fanciers and game keepers that birds like the odor of noise and valerian. This Mr. Hill considers doubtful. He placed various substances of powerful odor in and beneath the feeding dishes of a pair of turkeys, and in no case did he see any indication of a sense of smell. Camphor, carbon bisulphide, acetylene, chloroform, prussle acid were placed so that the odor in full strength surrounded the heads of the turkeys, and, except in the case of the vapors of chloroform and prussle acid, which partially poisoned the birds, there was absolutely no effect produced. Views and Nations. President Hadley of Yale and a young man whose appearance was that of a student once met, says the Scarchlight, in Yellowstone Park, in the midst of the wonders of nature. President Hadley turned to the young man for sympathetic comment. "This is a wonderful scene, isn't it?" he said. The young man smiled and nodded, and turned without speaking to gaze at the prospect spread before them. "Do you think," asked President Hadley, confirmed in his idea that he was talking to an ardent student, "that this chasm was caused by some great upheaval of nature, or, it is the result of erosion or glacial action? What are your views—" "My views," said the stranger, quickly, opening a bag containing photographs, "are only two dollars a dozen, and dirt-cheap. Let me show you some." Don't Roll Your Gems. Dr. A. Charrin, a distinguished French savant, fed two groups of guinea pigs on carrots. One group took the vegetable after it had been sterilized by boiling and all germs thus destroyed; the other after it had been sprinkled over with dust, or with the soil in which the carrots had been grown. Of seventeen subjects in the first group twelve died before those in the second, and the investigation showed that the total absence of germs in the sterilized food impaired the digestion and lowered the assimilative power of the animals. Only five altogether were lost of the group fed on the germ containing food.—Springfield Republican. The Heat of It. To date, the champion fish story of the season has been told by the Boston Globe. It says that two Maine men went out fishing lately and saw a big fish under their boat. The fish would not be hooked, so one of the men dived overboard and caught the fish by the tall with his teeth. The second man pulled the two into the boat. SUPPLEMENT TO SAVANNAH TRIBUNE, AUGUST 19, 1905. OF INTEREST TO WOMEN TO BIND UNRULY LOOKS. Mischievous breezes are to have no more chance to ruffle woman's hair, for there has appeared a new net which covers not only the "bun," but the pompadour and entire head. These nets are made of human hair, both single and double mesh, and are hardly perceptible. They need to be worn over a fluffy head, and by a pretty girl, and will do much to keep unruly locks in order.—Philadelphia Bulletin. LIKE UNTO MAN'S. The woman who can buy but one separate wrap and who has a dressy tailored suit is very apt to select something on the raglan order. The new wraps of this sort partake in texture and cut of the characteristics displayed in uisters for men's wear. The back is usually pleated from neck to hem, the pleats being stitched down as far as the waist line and then well pressed to the hem, with a shallow half belt to hold them in place. The fronts are loose, and usually double-breasted, the sleeves big and roomy, and a touch of color contrast is given by emplements of plain cloth that decorate the flat collar, cuffs and pocket flap. GETTING BACK TO OLDEN DAYS. A gift certain to be enthusiastically received by the bride or young house-keeper is a trunk containing freshly-laundered and neatly-marked disk-cloths, kitchen hand towels, cleaning clothes, cotton flannel broom cloths, flatiron holders, ironing board covers and sheets of unbleached cotton with which to cover the furniture on cleaning day. Dust cloths of dainty silkline and wash cloths with crocheted borders are tied in bundles, with narrow white ribbon and meet the eye on raising the cover of the tray. For a more elaborate outfit cambric bags in which to hang gowns or suits of clothes in summer may be added, as well as numerous other articles more often included in the bride's traditional linen chest.-Utica Observer. MINGLING WORK AND PLAY. Still harping on the "new woman," an English authority has discovered that the woman who works for her living isn't just because of this the new one at all—in the long age of Jane Austen and Charlotte Bronte, women earned their bread and butter. The really and truly new woman, it appears, is the woman who plays. Women who figured in the pages of these two authors never played if they belonged to the wage-earning class. They took life very seriously; they resolved themselves in time into drudges, without the capacity for enjoyment and without any inclination to do anything but toil from daylight till dark. They were, as a rule, creatures without spirit and prone to tears. And it really isn't to be wondered at, considering the truth we all know lies in the prophecy of what happens to Jack when he has all work and no play. It is then the ability of the modern working woman to so divide her life that work and pressure balance agreeably that she produced the genuine "new woman." She takes life seriously enough to know that work does her no harm, but is rather a benefit when it does not degenerate into drudgery, and apprecates sufficiently the virtue of pleasuring and even frivolizing to arrange that it shall be a frequent occurrence with her.—Rochester (N. Y.) Union-Advertiser. UP-TO-DATE FASHIONS. Taffeta and velling gowns are apparently to be within the reach of every woman who can afford even a small amount for her wardrobe. The department shops are filled with most attractive models of gowns in both these materials, and the prices asked are surprisingly low in comparison with the prices demanded by private dressmakers. But it is possible to make most attractive velling and taffeta gowns at home in this season's styles, and at a cost that is within the limits of a very moderate dress allowance. The distinction between the gown that has skirt and waist of the same material, and the regular shirt waist gown is not easily discernible, but the former is always on more finished lines, as it were, very simple in detail, and made without lining, on the same order of garment as the original shirt waist Tafetta silks, plain and changeable, are more fashionable this season than are the figured foulards. They are to be had in a softer, lighter texture than ever, but under the best of circumstances they do not make such cool gowns as do foulards, so for that reason the purchase of a foulard is quite a wise thing. There never were so many different colorings and designs. -Harper's Bazar. HOW TO COLOR LACES To get just that soft "old" look to face, dye it in tea, using about a tablespoonful of green tea to a quart of water to make an infusion of the right strength. The lace will come out a discouraging shade at first, but boll it a few moments in water in which a pinch of baking soda has been dropped, and the color will fade to just the right shade. Don't use coffee. It's sure to take on too yellow a tone. THE AMIABLE GIRL The amiable girl, the girl who makes friends wherever she goes, is always bright, charming and delightful. She comes into a room like a sea breeze, fresh, laughing, nodding right and left with happyp, impartiality. She is ready for anything, and never throws cold water on your plans. She generally sees the pleasant side of things, and she has such a wholehearted way of describing them that you feel as if you had seen them yourself. She does not retail gossip, though, as she is never spitful, or sarcastic, or bitter, and she never exaggerates to produce an impression. She knows how to be clever and funny without being unkind, untruthful or coarse. She likes everybody, not considering it is her duty to suspect every one of evil until they have been proved unworthy of her estimation. She prefers to consider the world good and honest until it proves itself otherwise. She always gets along, for she has friends everywhere. Her heart is big enough to contain everybody, and she never forgets her friends, or is forgotten by them. Goydoir CHAT A word of praise for a nice dinner or supper often more than compensates a woman for the worry and work of preparation. The man who breaks his dinner engagement with you before you are married will break your heart afterward. A perfect man would be an awful bore. You would never have anything to forgive him. Why, you'd never even be jealous of him, and you couldn't reform him or make him think you were ten times better than he. As far as appearance goes the bachelor girl who prevails at the present time would delude the unwary into thinking that she was of the old school. Poor bachelor girl! She has troubles of her own. As far as any one knows, the bachelor girl never was anything but a nice, sensible girl without fads, a girl who was obliged for one reason or another to support herself and live independently. It's her very imperfections that constitute a woman's perfection. The very dimple in her chin is an imperfection. Surely the good angel who makes girl babies' faces doesn't put holes in them on purpose. And no man ever holds it against a girl because she has freckles. The very kninks in a woman's hair make her forehead more feminine. But it is not always the college—it is sometimes the mother. Here is what Magistrate Crane says: "It is not always poverty that furnishes the mother the excuse for lack of attention to her children. Mothers go to clubs, they rush into politics, they shine in society, and the home is forgotten. True, they feed and clothe their children, but the minds, the moral side, and the heart is left to starve. Too often the mother herself starts the boy on the downward road by her own thoughtlessness; thoughtlessness that in my estimation is a crime." Pretty Things to Wear Yellow and orange are dominant colors in millinery. Many of the new shirt waist suits are made cf volle and light wool fabrics. Self colored embroidery in rich effects decorates the higher grade of hosery. White linen and muslin gowns are being shown in all the shops, and are being made in quantities. Wash silks make practical little house jackets, and so do the thin wools such as albatross, chalis, etc. The bareges, collonnees, crepes and fine jacquard weaves are all copied in full lines of tones and tints in these mixtures. There is a growing tendency for semi-decollete dresses, with elbow sleeves, for theatre as well as for restaurant wear. Lavender, pink, blue and yellow are the shades most chosen, the combination of pink and blue being particularly swagger. A chiffon taffeta in a rather bright blue was made with a skirt pleated in groups of three and a surplice waist pleated on the shoulders and if the back. No accessory of dress is made more of lately than the belt. The craze for ribbons is partially responsible, but every variety of linen belt and girlie is also being shown. The multitude of inexpensive silk and cotton mixtures, with glossy, mercerized surfaces, displayed in the stores, opens up wonderful possibilities for dainty tea jackets and other negligees for the coming warm months.

Point of Use in Clay. IN THE eulogy of Frances E. Willard by her on the occasion of the unveiling of the Lily in Statuary hall at the nation's capital, her father of all mothers, the sister of all wives, lover, Frances E. Willard sacrificed her compassion of her sisters. For, after all, she her gifts and all the halo of her God-sent best mother was yet greater far than she. Why should such an estimate of her She was above all a Christian, and this was answered the woman who blessed the sea, rather blessed are they that hear the is, then, something possible for woman the most exalted mother. For mere mother with a function cannot be the highest achieved intelligence and soul. How clearly this would end of the name of Frances Willard, had us Phillips Brooks and said: "The humblest father extravagant praise of the "humblest mother of of "race sulcide" is now so much discuss sulcide at all, it is not from a deficiency of that it aspires to little more than to makes no thought of the conditions which sucide the dangers lie when they tell such a woman die before they attain the age of five understanding of Frances Willard, illuminated and taught that the world needs a to be capable of rearing children in health the self-respect to desire their share of politics and secure better conditions in which to now prevail. She bespends for mothers to lose words of hers, chosen to be inscribed large you give them power to protect alone whom they have so loved." Our Uncle Sam The Loyalty," Compared with For Other Countries. Motherhood From the Woman Suffragist Point of View By Laura Clay. N THE eulogy of Frances E. Willard by Senator Beveridge, on the occasion of the unveiling of the Illinois statue of her in Statuary hall at the nation's capital, he says: "The mother of all mothers, the sister of all wives, to every child the lover, Frances E. Willard sacrificed her own life to the happiness of her sisters. For, after all, she knew that, with all her gifts and all the halo of her God-sent mission, the hum blest mother was yet greater for than she." Frances Willard? She was above all a idea. When Jesus answered the woman, he said: "Yea, rather blessed are keep it." There is, then, something than to be even the most exalted mother function, and such a function cannot be dowed with intelligence and soul. He the orator, instead of the name of Fra Washington or Phillips Brooks and said er than he!" Perhaps this extravagant praise of cause the question of "race suicide" is a danger of race suicide at all, it is not which is so humble that it aspires to the world, and takes no thought of the tistics show where the dangers lie when one-half the children die before they ate. The noble understanding of Frances er heart, apprehended and taught that clently elevated to be capable of rearing be possessed of the self-respect to desire them to seek out and secure better con- than those that now prevail. She best in the laws in those words of hers, che her statue: "I charge you give them po highway those whom they have so love "Our Un- "Vague Loyalty," Co- For Other Why should such an estimate of herself be imputed to Frances Willard? She was above all a Christian, and this is not a Christian idea. When Jesus answered the woman who blessed the mother who bore him, he said: "Yea, rather blessed are they that hear the word of God and keep it." There is, then, something possible for womanhood more blessed than to be even the most exalted mother. For mere motherhood is a physical function, and such a function cannot be the highest achievement of a being endowed with intelligence and soul. How clearly this would have appeared if the orator, instead of the name of Frances Willard, had used that of George Washington or Phillips Brooks and said: "The humblest father was yet greater than he!" Perhaps this extravagant praise of the "humblest mother" was given because the question of "race sulcide" is now so much discussed. But if there is danger of race sulcide at all, it is not from a deficiency of that motherhood which is so humble that it aspires to little more than to bring children into the world, and takes no thought of the conditions which surround them. Statistics show where the dangers lie when they tell such a dreary fact as that one-half the children die before they attain the age of five years. The noble-understanding of Frances Willard, illuminated by her great mother heart, apprehended and taught that the world needs a womanhood sufficiently elevated to be capable of rearing children in health and virtue; and to be possessed of the self-respect to desire their share of political power to enable them to seek out and secure better conditions in which to rear their children than those that now prevail. She besought for mothers the boon of a voice in the laws in those words of hers, chosen to be inscribed on the pedestal of her statue: "I charge you give them power to protect along life's treacherous highway those whom they have so loved."

If he has any feeling of affection for this abstraction it is a very mild one. Any idea of paternal authority is even more slight, and probably no one ever thought of an American administration mothering any one. We think of Uncle Sam as a benevolent relative who has a mild feeling of affection for his nephews and nieces, but, like other uncles, expects them to hurtle for themselves. He gives us a Christmas present once in a while—river and harbor bills, to make water flow in some places where nature never intended that it should—but in general he doesn't expect any one to look to him for guidance and support, and the last thing he would expect would be immediate and unquestioning obedience. Along with this feeling for Uncle Sam goes a cousinly feeling for his nephews and nieces, and a readiness to welcome new cousins, provided they exhibit a capacity to hustle for themselves, though we have now come to the point where there is a serious doubt as to how many new cousins is wise to receive.

Try them. In Memory of Our Darling Gertle. She is laid in the earth, but her bright spirit soars To the regions of bliss from those sorrowful shores. She moved in her beauty an angel while here And I saw she was formed for a happier sphere. Oh, sad are the sighs for our absence we heaved And sad are our tears though 'is fruitless to grieve; Yet of't through the dark mist of sorrow we see, In fancy our darling still smiling on me. Wherever we go there's no object we trace Can turn from our minds her, loved form, or her face; Nor time can our soul in forgetfulness steep Her dream wafted image still smiles o'er our sleep. In nights calm and clear, mid the bright orbs we try To trace her blest home in the beautiful sky, And we gaze on some stars till in fancy we see Her far shining spirit, still smiling on.

The President's Letter in 1853 Courteed Japan's Friendship and Trade. The letter which Commodore Perry bore from our government to the Miitado asked for a mutual treaty. The original instrument was drafted in May, 1851, by Daniel Webster, then Secretary of State, and was signed by esidern Pilmore. There it rested. In November, 1852, Mr. Webster's successor, Edward Everett, fished it out of the departmental pigeonholes, took it to pieces and refashioned it. Three copies were prepared and were splendidly engrossed in English, Dutch and Chinese. These were inclosed together in a sumptuous gold case; and, to make the whole presentment still more impressive to the Japanese mind, the gold case was enshrined in a coffer of rosewood. The document intrusted to Commodore Perry asked the Japanese court two things, friendship and trade—first and foremost, friendship, for the safety of our seamen. Many a helpless crew had been driven into their ports by storm or wrecked on their rocky coast, escaping the perils of the deep only to be welcomed by those truculent silanders to a dungeon or a cage on shore. This wrong must be stopped at all hazards. And if, in addition, we could persuade Japan to enter into friendly relations of trade, the two countries, by mutual interchange of productions, might each promote its own prosperity and the welfare of the other. It was thought that Orientals might see that as well as Yankees. In the end they did. But it cannot be said that Japan, any more than an oyster, ever really ycarned to be "opened." From John S. Sewell's "With Perry in Japan" in the Century. Life Insurance Companies will not insure a man suffering from heart trouble. The reason is obvious. This is a serious matter to the husband or father who is solicited for the future of his dear ones. Often the heart trouble is caused by an unexpected thing, and can be corrected if taken in time and properly treated. A man in Colorado writes: "I was a great coffee Grinder for many years, and was not aware of the injurious effects of the habit till I became a practical invalid, suffering from heart trouble, indigestion and nervousness to an extent that made me wretchedly miserable myself and a misuse to those who witnessed my sufferings. "I continued to drink Coffee, however, not suspecting that it was the cause of my ill-health, till, on applying for life insurance I was rejected on account of the trouble with my heart. Then I became alarmed. I found that leaving off coffee helped me quickly, so I quit it altogether, and having been attracted by the advertisements of Postum Food Coffee I began its use. "The change in my condition was remarkable, and it was not long till I was completely cured. All my ailments vanished. My digestion was completely restored, my nervousness disappeared, and most important of all, my heart steadied down and became normal, and on a second examination I was accepted by the life insurance Co. Quitting Coffee and using Postum worked the cure." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason, and it is explained in the little book, "The Road to Wellville" in each pkg. HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS CLEANING SILVER. Silver if lying near guttapercha gets tarnished very quickly. If put in a pantry where gas is used it should always be kept well wrapped up in chamois leather. When asparagus Is to be served cold as a salad, boll and drain as usual, and after draining let cold water run gently over the stalks to keep him firm and fresh looking. TO CLEAN OUT CORNERS. A flat paint brush is a handy household utensil for cleaning out troublesome corners. When too worn for this purpose, it is more convenient than anything else for applying stone polish especially in the ornamental parts of a stove. KILLING OFF INSECTS. In the war with insect life, kerosene is a sure weapon of defense. If the kitchen table is seized upon by roaches, and used as a nest for their eggs, do not burn it up after ineffective scrubbings and scaldings. But it in the yard and soak it with kerosene. Not an egg will live. In like manner treat any insect infected furniture. TO CLEAN A CARPET. To clean a soiled carpet make a suds, creamlike in consistency, of good soap and soft water, and apply with a small scrubbing brush, cleaning, only a small space at a thigh, sponging it off at once with clean cold water and rubbing dry with soft clean cloths. A weak solution of alum or soda is used to revive colors. EGGS A LA MARTIN. Have ready a dish that can be put into the oven and baked. It should be like a deep, ordinary soup-plate without the white rim. It is easy enough to find plenty such at any store. Have it heated, but not too hot. Put into a small saucepan a tablespoonful of flour (or more, if it is preferred thicker), and then very slowly, after the flour is well mingled, a cup of milk or cream. Then add four tablespoonfuls of grated cheese. Shrill well, and when thoroughly heated pour into the dish you have ready, and with great care (so as to keep the shape) drop into the mixture four eggs. The ordinary dish will hold about four eggs and look well, but it may be possible to find larger ones. Put at once into the oven, and when the eggs are not serve at once. A few bits of parsley make the dish look more inviting. RECIPES Rice Fry Balls—Boil hard six eggs, remove the shells and put through a sieve with an equal amount of boiled rice; season with salt, pepper and butter; form into balls, dip into raw eggs, then into bread crumbs and fry in hot fat; drain and place on small pieces of buttered toast. Ferve hot. Chocolate Biscuites—Breat the yolks of four eggs, adding to them one tablespoonful of grated chocolate, two ounces of flour and four ounces of sugar; beat thoroughly and then add the whites of the eggs, beaten very stiff; place on buttered paper, on a flat pan in small spoonfuls and bake in a quick oven. Rice Bread—One cupful of cold boiled rice, one cupful white Indian corn meal, one cupful wheat flour, one teaspoonful baking powder, two eggs, half teaspoonful salt, one tablespoonful of melted butter, one cupful milk. Mix the dry ingredients, add beaten eggs mixed with milk and the melted butter, pour into shallow, grated pans. Bake thirty minutes in a moderate oven. Salmi of Chicken—Put a tablespoonful of clarified beef dripping into a saucepan, and when it bubbles up over the fire add three or four thin slices of bacon and let the whole dry until nicely browned, mixing with it a tablespoonful of flour and a glassful of flavoring extract. Turn in, a little at a time, a cupful of hot water. Season with salt, pepper, a dash each of allspice, cloves and cayenne and a spoonful of lemon juice. Cut the chickens, which you have parboiled, into large pieces, and cook them in the sauce for an hour and a half. When done nicely, arrange on a platter, pour sauce over them and garnish with rounds of lemon and French fried potatoes. Olive and Tomato Jelly—Put half a can of tomatoes in an agate stew pan, add one bay leaf, three cloves, one blade of mace, small slice of onion, half a teaspoonful of salt and a dash of cayenne or paprika; cover the pan and let simmer fifteen minutes; soak one-third box gelatine in one-third cupful of cold water; when it has soaked one hour add it to the tomatoes, stir until gelatine has dissolved, then rub through a stranger and add two tablespoonfuls of tarragon vinegar; rinse timbale moulds in cold water; stand in the bottom of each mould three olives that have been pitted, standing them upright; pour in a little jelly, and, when hardened, add enough jelly to fill the mould; serve on a lettuce leaf and garnish with mayonnaise dressing, putting a little on top of each jelly.

In this season of campaign buttons, which are so prevalent locally, it is interesting to know that of the buttons of the other kind, those used to hold one's clothes on, probably half of all the world uses are made in this country. A considerable portion of this product is turned out in Philadelphia and vicinity, but this is not a button center and other places are much larger producers. Nearly all the buttons manufactured in the United States two now made of vegetable ivory, says a local dealer, and of the world's output of this substance nineteenth is so used. Practically this country takes all the vegetable ivory that is grown. The best of it and a very large proportion of it comes from South America, that from the banks of the Margalona River in Columbia being especially choice. It is also grown in Mexico, which produces an excellent quality, and in California. So far the California nut is inferior, at least for buttons, but attempts are being made to improve it, and it is believed they will in time be successful. Buttons made from vegetable ivory are still distinguished in the trade as ivory, pearl, rubber, horn or bone buttons, and they look like what they are called owing to the closeness of the imitation and the perfection of the processes. They may be stained almost any color or highly polished. The nut is not used until dry and hard. Then it is cut into slabs, and the forms desired are cut out by dies, which perform successfully the operation of shaping, making the thread holes, counter sinking and finishing. Then the button goes to the polisher. Nuts of bad color or spotted are used for buttons which are to be subsequently colored, a process in which certain dyes are used in connection with wax. White buttons are made from the best nuts. There is considerable waste of material in some of the processes, but the resulting produced is still cheap. The remaining one-tenth of the vegetable ivory not converted into buttons is nearly all used to make poker chips. HUNDREDS STRUCK BLIND. Mysterious Eye Disease Asserting It self in Central Africa. A somewhat remarkable eye diseases is at present prevalent in several parts of British Central Africa, Northeastern Rhodesia, and in Portuguese Zambela. At first it was noticeable in cattle, sheep and goats, and only recently was it found to have attacked the natives. The disease it at present raging from Port Herald, a British station on the Zambesi, right on toward Tete, a distance of over 200 miles, and at this latter place it is reported to be quite an epidemic. Mr. William Arnott, a traveler, who recently returned from Tete, states that he observed hundreds who were suffering from the disease, and a large number were totally blind. One of the sights of Tete on a Sunday morning is the long lines of blind people who enter the town to beg, each string being led to a little boy or girl. At first a white spot is observed on the eyeball, and this in a short space of time becomes highly inflamed. The eye then discharges a white, milky fluid, and the whole of the eye becomes covered with a white film. This is the critical stage of the malady, and if the disease is very severe the eyeball bursts, thus destroying the sight entirely—London Mall. Columbus. A school teacher was trying to impress upon his pupil's mind that Columbus discovered America in 1492, so he said, "Now, John, to make you remember the date when Columbus discovered America, I will make it in a rhyme so you won't forget, it: 'Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492.' Now, can you remember that, John?" "Yes, sir," replied John. The next morning when he came to school his teacher said, "John, when did Columbus discover America?" "Columbus sailed the dark blue sea in 1493." King Edward has met with many amusing adventures during his wanderings on the continent, and a good story is told of an episode which befall him in Belgium. He was walking through the country lanes with a party of friends, when they came to a farmhouse, and King Edward thought he would like a glass of milk. As it chanced, the farmer and his wife were just taking a milk can into the house, and one of the party made known what was wanted. The King was just about to drink the milk when the farmer's wife, speaking in rapid Flemish to her husband, sald: "I wonder how much I can get out of the long nosed Englishman for that." King Edward laughed, and, handing her an English crown, sald, in her own language: "Allow me to present you with a portrait of the long-nosed Englishman!"

Doctor Brigham Says MANY PHYSICIANS PRESCRIBE Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound The wonderful power of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over the diseases of womankind is not because it is a stimulant, not because it is pulvinate but simply because it is the most wonderful tonic and reconstructor ever discovered to act directly upon the generative organs, positively curing disease and restoring health and vigor. Marvelous cures are reported from all parts of the country by women who have been cured, trained nurses who have witnessed cures and physicians who have recognized the virtue of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and are fair enough to give credit where it is due. If physicians dared to be frank and open, hundreds of them would acknowledge that they constantly prescribe Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound in severe cases of female fills, as they know by experience it can be relied upon to effect a cure. The following letter proves it. Dr. S. C. Brigham, of 4 Brigham Park, Fitchburg, Mass., writes: "It gives me great pleasure to say that I have found Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound very officiacous, and often prescribe it in my practice for female difficulties. "My oldest daughter found it very beneficial for uterine trouble some time ago, and my youngest daughter is now taking it for a few months, and is surely gaining in health and strength. "I freely advocate it as a most reliable specific in all diseases to which women are subject, and give it honest endorsement." Women who are troubled with painful or irregular menstruation, bloating (or fatulence), leucorrhea, falling, inflammation or ulceration of the uterus, ovarian troubles, that bearing-down feeling, dizziness, faintness, indigestion, nervous prostration or the blues, should take immediate action to ward off the problem, and restored to perfect health and strength by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and then write to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass., for further free advice. No living person has had the benefit of a wider experience in treating femaleills. She has guided thousands to health. Every suffering woman should ask for and follow her advice if she wants to be strong and well.
