The Savannah Tribune. VOL. XX. TO SAVE RUSS FACE Roosevelt Suggests Plan for "Honorable" Peace. TO OVERCOME DEADLOCK Meetings of Envoys Postponed Pending Czar's Answer to Proposition. A Strenuous Day of Intense Anxiety at Portsmouth. A Portsmouth special says: It is now possible to reveal substantially the suggestion of President Roosevelt for breaking the existing deadlock in the peace negotiations and rescuing the conference from failure. His suggestion would permit the satisfaction of the Japanese demand for reimbursement for the cost of the war and at the same time enable Russia to face the world with the declaration that she had not ceded a foot of territory or paid a kopeck of war tribute to the victor. The solution is one which has beretofore been described as the natural and logical compromise. Tersely stated, it consists in an agreement by Russia to re-purchase possession of either all or half of the island of Sakhalin, now in the military possession of the Japanese, for a sum, the amount of which, if the two countries cannot agree, shall be decided by some method of arbitration hereafter to be determined. The purchase money, together with the sum the Japanese would obtain from the cession of the Chinese Eastern railroad, and the maintenance of the Russian prisoners in Japan, would, it is estimated, about equal the amount claimed by the Japanese as her bill for the cost of the war. Possibly, therefore, the solution offered by the president involves recession by Japan upon Article V (thecession of Sakhalin) and re-cession by Russia upon Article IX (indemnity). It seems practically certain, though this cannot be affirmed positively, that the president was able to give Mr. Witte substantial assurance that Japan would be willing to accept such a compromise. This is apparently supported by the authoritative Japanese statement made to the Associated Press in the reply to a question as to whether Japan had not decided to make substantial concessions. All Depends on Russia. "It all depends upon Russia," was the president's message to Mr. Witte, which caused the sensation of the day. Early Tuesday morning had come the official announcement that the meeting of the conference which was to have been held during the day had been postponed until Wednesday morning at 9:30 o'clock. The public reason assigned was that the protocols for submission at the sitting had not been completed. But a few hours later the true reason leaked out. J. L. McGrew, one of the stenographers attached to the executive offices at Oyster Bay, had arrived with a communication from the president for the Russian plenipotentiaries. Mr. Witte and Baron de Rosen had left the hotel ostensibly for a ride in an automobile car to York beach, but instead had quietly stepped over to the conference building at the navy yard to receive the message from Assistant Secretary Pierce. A long cable message from St. Petersburg, which is believed to be the Russian reply, arrived about 10 o'clock Tuesday night, and Mr. Witte's secretaries, Mr. Nabukoff and Mr. Plancon, immediately began deciphering it. Considerable excitement was apparent in the annex where the Russian headquarters are located. Sheet by sheet the translation was taken to Mr. Witte's room. The rumor is that the message was a refusal—a non possimus—a reiteration of the Russian position that she had given ample proof of her desire for peace in the articles already accepted, and that more she could not yield with dignity and honor. MARTIN HOLDS SENATORSHIP. Virginians Also Nominate Gubernatorial Candidate to Succeed Montague. In the Virginia democratic state primary Tuesday, Thomas S. Martin was nominated to succeed himself in the United States senate, and Representative Claude A. Swanson, to succeed Andrew J. Montague, as the governor of the state, by large majorities. Chairman J. Taylor Ellyson, of the democratic state committee was nominated for the lieutenant governorship by an overwhelming vote. William A. Anderson was chosen for reelection as attorney general. GEORGIA GROWERS MEET. State Cotton Association Assembles in Atlanta and Passes Important Resolutions—Firm Stand is Taken. Important resolutions outlining the plans of the Georgia division, Southern Cotton Association, were adopted at Tuesday's convention of the state association held in the hall of the house of representatives at Atlanta. Among the actions taken were resolutions declaring that the price of cotton seed should be fixed at 30 cents per bushel throughout the state; providing for the appointment of a committee to bring about closer relations between the cotton, growers and cotton spinners, and with a view to eliminating the speculative feature; declaring that all cotton producers in Georgia should hold their cotton for the minimum price to be fixed by the executive committee at its coming meeting in Asheville, N. C.; declaring the growers of the present crop of sea island cotton should receive 20 cents per pound for their product; providing for the appointment of organizers to go into each county and militia district in the state; providing for an assessment upon each county in the state of 1 per cent per bale of cotton raised in 1904 for the purpose of paying the expenses of the state division, and urging that provision be made for a national organ for the association. President M. L. Johnson of the state association presided and after briefly addressing the members, congratulating them upon the great success which the association has already attained and pointing out the important work to be done in the near future. Hon. Harvie Jordan, president of the Southern Cotton Association, was then introduced. President Jordan spoke of the great work which the association has successfully prosecuted in putting up the price of cotton. It has demonstrated its ability to do this, he said, and the foreign spinners know it. The executive committee of the association, he said, would meet at Asheville, N. C., on September 6, for the purpose of preparing its report on the status of the cotton crop, based on reports from the entire south on August 25. The committee would at that time also fix the minimum price at which cotton was to be sold this fall, and he had abundant assurance that the southern planters would hold to the price fixed at the New Orleans convention. He had received numerous requests from different sections of the south, he said, to put this minimum price above 10 cents. The action of the executive committee in this matter would depend, he said, on the conditions which confront the south's cotton producers at that time. LIQUOR PROFITS HELD OUT. $ ^{a} $ More Sensational Testimony Before Dispensary Investigation. There were no developments of any great importance at Monday's session in Columbia of the legislative committee, which is making an investigation into the South Carolina dispensary, though the foundation was laid for even a greater sensation than developed at the Spartanburg hearing. The sworn financial statement bringing the accounts down to March 31 of this year shows that the dispensary owes $500,000 and still had $200,000 worth of supplies on the order list. Although the law requires that the profits be turned over to the state treasurer quarterly, a witness from that office testified from the books, giving the amount of cash on hand as $1,200 and said that the last remittance was made January 10 last, no profits accruing since last November having been turned in. After this statement the bookkeeper of the state board sent in a check for $26,000, which enabled the treasurer's office to take up a draft for $5,000; which had been turned down during the day. The draft was for dispensary supplies. DOUBLE MURDER SUSPECTED. Remains of Man and Woman Found In Ashes of Burned House. The charred remains of a man and a woman were found Sunday morning at the scene of a fire, which occurred Saturday night in DeKalb county, GA., some three miles from Atlanta. The bodies were later identified as those of an old white man named Griffin, and a white woman, known as Rosa Thompson. An investigation was held and evidence secured which caused the officers to suspect that a double murder had been committed. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. AUGUST 26, 1905 CHECKING SCOURGE Authorities in New Orleans Express Hopeful Views. FEVER IS UNDER CONTROL No Epidemio Like Those of Former Days is Feared—Situation Outside the City is Not So Encouraging. Though there was an increase Monday, both in new cases and fatalities in New Orleans, hopefulness continued to pervade the federal headquarters, touching the local yellow fever situation. The Monday list is always large. It was so during the epidemic of 1578. This is attributed to the fact that the work of inspection is not as thorough on Sunday and only the cases which come from physicians are to be depended on. In the matter of deaths, uniformity is unusual from day to day, because the condition of patients is so largely affected by meteorological conditions. Monday's fever report was as follows: Now cases, 61; total to date, 1,446; deaths Monday, 9; total deaths, 205; cases under treatment, 328. An analysis of the figures shows that there is no check to the hopeful feelings which have been produced by the small reports for the past few days. There has been a steady but slow diminution of the cases under treatment. The number of foci is misleading also, for it equals the number of cases under treatment. A great many of these foci have been absolutely wiped out, but they still figured in the records and represent every spot in the city where a case of fever has developed. Of the new points of infection Monday, five were up town, ten down town and one in Aligers, across the river. Of the names on the list, there are very few of any prominence. One case was taken off the steamship Excelsior, which arrived from Havana Thursday and left Saturday, arriving at Havana Monday morning. The man is a sailor, and was taken to the marine hospital, where his case was diagnosed as yellow fever. According to the accepted period of incubation, the man could not possibly have contracted the disease in New Orleans if he was on the ship when she made her last trip. Monday night Surgeon White was willing to give expression to the feeling of hope he has of winning out in the fight. He said: "feel very much encouraged over the situation, for I believe that practically all the cases are being reported now, and we are able to handle them. The low death rate is manifest, and that also is a good sign." The situation outside of the city is not so encouraging. Surgeon Guiternas made an inspection of the Riverside plantation in St. Mary parish, and his report reads: "One hundred and fifty inhabitants in infected sections. Estimated 100 have had fever. Of these, under treatment, fifty-five. Situation admits of very few sanitary expedients until material is exhausted. Proper measures taken to avoid infection of the localities around." Hanson City, in Jefferson parish, is looming up as a large focus, eight new cases being reported Monday. Kenner also reports four cases. The health officer of Iberville reports a number of suspicious cases among Itallans on Bayou Pidgeon, at the extreme end of the parish, 20 miles from the town of Plaquemine on the west bank. The state board offered an inspector to investigate. Two new cases have developed on Elizabeth plantation in Iberville. St. Bernard parish reports a new focus of infection among Itallans near Corlaine, two cases having come to light with two more suspicious cases. One new case developed in Pecan Grove in St. John parish. The patients on Sarpy place were transferred to the emergency hospital constructed there. Both Reserve and Diamond are equipped with temporary hospitals. GREAT SHOWING FOR GEORGIA. Increase in Tax Values for Year Is Close to Forty Million Mark. Close to Forty Million Mark. The total net gains in the values of taxable property throughout Georgia over the returns of last year, are found to be $37,594,084. Only three counties in the state showed a decrease as follows: Echofs, $951, Jasper $657 and Taliaferro $1545. But these, as is apparent, did not materially affect the net increase. Wit hite increase in the valuation of the state's taxable property over last year will be about $45,000,000. WASHINGTON EXPLAINS Colored Educator Denies Feature of Wanamaker Episode—Practices Social Equality Only in the North. A New York dispatch says: Booker T. Washington, the Tuskegee negro educator, has made a statement in reference to dining with the family of John Wanamaker, formerly postmaster general, at a Saratoga hotel. Washington admits that he dined with Wanamaker's family, but5 denies that he escorted, Mrs. Barclay Warbuton, Wanamaker's daughter, to the dining room. Washington statement follows: "I have just seen for the first time the misleading and false reports in southern newspapers referring to my escorting female members of Mr. Wanamaker's family, but denies that he of a Saratoga hotel. I have not referred to these reports because they have just come to my notice. "I did not escort any female member of Mr. Wanamaker's family to or out of the diving room. I did dine with Mr. Wanamaker and members of his family at a hotel at his request, for the purpose of talking on a matter of business, but at the time was a guest myself at a colored hotel in Saratoga. "During the last fifteen years I have been at the hotel, where Mr. Wanamaker was, on three different occasions when I was to speak at public meetings, as I was this time, and no comment was made of it. "When in the south, I conform, like all colored people, to the customs of the south, but when in the north I have found it necessary during the last twenty years, as stated fully in my book, 'Up From Slavery,' to come in contact with white people in the furtherance of my work in ways I do not in the south. "BOOKER T. WASHINGTON." On Friday and Saturday The Mobile (Ala.) Herald asked by wire for the opinions of The New York Sun, Times, World, Herald and Journal, concerning the Booker Washington incident at Saratoga. No reply was sent to either of the messages, whereupon The Herald then sent the following to each of the five papers: "Friday and Saturday we wired for your opinion on the Booker Washington affair. Let your silence give the impression that you are subsidized by Wanamaker's advertising we are especially anxious to hear from you, and we stand ready to pay cost. The following was also sent personally to William R. Hearst: "As one who has appealed for southern votes for president, the silence of your papers on the Booker Washington affair is significant and creates comment, especially in view of the fact that you have frequently proclaimed the pride of Virginia blood. Answer our telegrams of Friday and Saturday." QUIT8 BOARD OF TRUSTEES. Former Mayor of Birmingham Washes His Hands of Booker's Institute. Former Mayor W. M. Drennen of Birmingham, Ala., has tendered his resignation as a member of the board of trustees of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, because of the recent Saratoga affair. Drennen addressed the following letter to Booker T! Washington: "I regret exceedingly that I cannot consistently serve longer as one of the trustees of Tuskegee normal and industrial school, and I now tender my resignation. Yours truly, "WALTER MELVILLE DRENNEN." MOTHER CONFESSES TO MURDER. On Death Bed Woman Admits Poisoning Little Daughter. Mrs. John T. Lynch of Boomington, Ind., whom the attending physician has pronounced to be in a dying condition, confessed to her sister and two neighbors Saturday that in 1885 she killed her three-year-old daughter by giving the child morphine. She said at the same time she told the doctor the baby had eaten green acorns and there never was any suspicion of a crime. She said remorse had been gnawing at her heart ever since. CAR LOAD OF HYMN BOOKS Adopted by Northern and Southern Methodists Shipped to Chicago. The largest single shipment of a religious publication ever known, according to the book publishers, was made when the Methodist Book Concerns at Cincinnati sent a freight car containing 21,184 copies, the first consignment of the new Methodist hymnal to the branch house in Chicago. The new hymnal is the only one on which the two Methodist churches, north and south, have united since 1846. The book contains 717 hymns and 600 pages. HYDE GIVES LAUGH To Racket Raised Over Discovery of Cotton Leak. STATISTICS ARE USELESS Ex-Statistician of Agricultural Department, Now Sojourning in England, Gives Out a Satirical Interview. John Hyde, former statistician of the United States department of agriculture, who at present is in London, England, has been under the care of a physician for several weeks, and is still prohibited by his physician from attending to business. In an interview Monday night he said: "I have just seek for the first time the revised cotton acreage report, is sued by the United States department of agriculture on July 26. The crop estimating board reduces the official estimate of June 2 by more than 1,100,000 acres, and even goes so far as to say that I made the estimate higher than the reports received from official reporters employed by the bureau warranted. To this statement I give unqualified denial and assert that the most trustworthy of the various sets of figures on which the report of June 2 was based afforded the most ample warrant for my estimate. "It is only by an entire disregard of the reports of county and township correspondents that the department's acreage reports can be prevented from once more becoming the laughing stock of the world. When concerned only with the condition of the growing crop, except under special commissions, the reports of county and township correspondents are without value. When, however, these correspondents report either upon the acreage or upon the size of the crop in bales, their reports are absolutely worthless. For instance, the crop last year was estimated by township correspondents at less than 12,000,000 bales and by county correspondents at less than 11,000,000 bales. Failure on the part of the board to recognize the widely varying degrees of reliability which characterizes the reports of its different classes of correspondents will inevitably destroy the value of its reports for general statistical purposes." Mr. Hyde said that he gave this interview against the earnest protest of his physicians and that he had forwarded an affidavit to Washington covering his connection with the cotton report. He said that he expected to return to American about October first. WOULD MAKE HER SULTANA. Sultan of Sulu Offers to Add Miss Roosevelt to His Harem. A Manila dispatch says: Secretary Taft and party arrived in Jolo Monday and immediately proceeded to the parade ground to witness an elaborate program arranged for their entertainment. The sultan of Sulu, with his reftinue and other Moro dignitaries, occupied seats on the grandstand along with Secretary Taft and Miss Roosevelt. Thousands of Moros, residents of Jolo and from the neighboring islands, were present to take part in the festivities, which were wonderfully picturesque. In the afternoon there were carraboo and bull fights of an amusing but not bloodthirsty character. Secretary Taft and Miss Roosevelt were presented with many Moro presents by the sultan, who offered his hand in marriage to Miss Roosevelt and would make her sultana of the Sulu archipelago, saying that his people desired her to remain among them. The sultan already has a large number of wives. THREE TOWNS ARE SHAKEN. Earthquake Felt at Owensboro, Hendersonville and Evansville. Owenboro and Henderson, Ky., and Evansville, Ind., were visited by an earthquake at 11:05 o'clock Monday night. Two distinct shocks were felt. Citizens of Owensboro were greatly frightened. Many rushed from their homes. No 'damage was done. MAYOR DUNNE ARRESTED. Taken by Police for Violating Automobile Speed Ordinance. Mayor Dunne of Chicago was arrested Sunday afternoon in the suburb of Evanston for violating the ordinances regulating the speed of automobiles. At the police station the mayor said: "I do not know about the speed of these things, but I don't think we were going very fast. However, we may have been, and I guess we will have to pay our fines like anybody else." TRANSPORTATION A COMMODITY, NOT A TAX. In an extract from an address by Mr. Ralph Peters, published in this issue under the title of "The Railroads and the People," the fundamental point is well made that "transportation is a commodity, not a tax." When you consider the generic difference between the business methods by which prices for the commodities of commerce are fixed from day to day, almost hourly, and the political methods by which taxes are assessed and collected, you will realize the fact that rate-fixing by law will destroy absolutely every advantage that is born of free opportunity in a competitive market. Railroad traffic managers will be shorn of all power to co-operate with producers in meeting contingencies that are always occurring in relation to some product or locality, which require prompt action if a benefit is to be secured. In our opinion, shippers who are urging the enactment of a measure conferring rate-making power upon the Interstate Commerce Commission, or any other governmental agency, view the subject from an unsound economic standpoint, and for that reason are asking for a remedy for the abuses of rebates and discriminations which will cause greater evils than the abuses of which they complain. The important fact is, transportation rates have been reduced to a lower point in the United States than in any other country as a result of a free hand in fixing rates that has compelled every traffic manager to be keen to prevent his road from losing traffic because of lower charges by some other road. Destroy this condition, interpose the barrier of a governmental agency between the producer and buyer of railroad transportation, so that they can no longer meet in a free market, and make the prompt adjustments required by ever-changing commercial conditions, and you will place a handicap on the shippers of this country that will paralyze them in their efforts to handle a very large number of transactions. Careful reasoning from a correct viewpoint will convince shippers that this is true. It is easy to make the mistake of transferring the rate-making power to a governmental agency, but it will be exceedingly difficult to correct the mistake after experience has compelled the people to realize its disadvantages. This rate-making problem is similar in many respects to the proposition for the free and unlimited colage of silver and gold at the ratio of 16 to 1. It would have been easy to have enacted such a law. Once enacted, it would have promptly put the commercial and financial operations of the people of this country upon a silver basis. The resulting disaster would have been terrific, and if would have taken a hundred years to secure the repeal of the unwise legislation, the substitution thereof of correct laws and a recovery from the damage done. Believing this, as we do, we feel the need of stating this case clearly and frequently. We feel it to be a duty to do our share in the work of aiding to prevent the making of the fundamental mistake that will be made if rate-making is transferred from the sphere of business operations to the domain of political intrigue and blind action—Public Policy, Chicago. ROADS IGNORE COMMISSION. Refuse to Put on Reduced Rates on Stoves as Ordered. Officials of two more railroads, General Agent A. G.-Jackson of the Georgia railroad and General Freight Agent H. F. Smith of the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis notified the Georgia railroad commission Tuesday that they would not put on the reduced rates on stoves made in circular 309, on the ground that this was covered by the injunction granted by Judge Cann in Chatham superior court at Savannah. TWENTY REPORTED KILLED. In Coillision Between Train and Trolley Car at Butte, Montana.

Nearty thirty years ago mili- tary companies were formed and colored men commissioned as officers and men enlisted in the service of the state. From that time to the present the fealty of officers and men to the state has been unquestioned.- During that time they expended thousands of dollars in equipping themselves and coming up to the require- ments ofthe law. Until recently these trodps were not molested, especially tmder the regime of those state House officers, who were broad minded and willing to give a helping\hand to the race. Within the paxt few years strenuous efforts hive been made .by a few your Officers to have the troops disbanded ; each “D¥athese ors have proven fo- ile until_last wee! fore this tient every Canceivable otros werg made to have” the troops disbanded, for inef- ficiency, which in some cases thuy* succeeded after taking much advantage of the ones dis. banded. The remaining _ five conipanies of the battalion have been put to severe tests and each time the predjudiced efforts of the Negro haters were unsuc- cessful. They then made an or. ganized attempt to have the legislature pass a class legislat- ive act disbanding the colored troops. What they failed to do, in prone the colored troops inefficiency, they succeeded in having a prejadiced set of legis. lators do by alawenacted. The enactment by the legislature last week in this direction is one of the most brutal and unjust that has ever been inflicted upon our eople in this'state. They simp- 5 took advantage of the troops on account of ‘the power that they held and the amount, of prejudice they maintained in their hearts fora race that has done so much for the making of this southland a garden spot. Despite the fact that the color- ed citizens pay into the treas- wy of the state thousands of dollars each year, this disband. ment was a direct thrust at them. No freater injustice could ever be inflicted upon any class of citizens. - In this affair the true friends of the our people were ascertain- ‘ed, and they will be honored ac- cordingly.

E. McNeil: Fred Engliss McNeil passed away ‘at his residence Sunday eyening at six o’olock after an illness that has covered barely three months. Ln his death Olinton loses one of ita most ‘prominent colored citizens aud ous- inessmen, aman who through his upright square dealing had won the respect and patronage of the greater portion of the city. ‘The deseased was born in Selma, ‘Alabama, January 25, 1864 He was united in marriage in Savannah, Ga. in 1884, to Miss Frances 0 DeLegall who survives him. To them but one child was born, a little babe who did nat live to brighten the home. “Mr. McNeil came to Clinton Nov. 30, 1889, being employed by John Smith, the veteran confectioner of the city. Later he entered buaineas for himself, starting this venture Aug. 8, 1890 when he opened the Candy Kitchen. Nearly fifteen veara of close appli- cation to the building up and hold- ing his fine trade, had established him thoroughly and until a few days -preceeding his death his 1nterest re- mained paramount in his chosen line of work. Mrs. Scott of Savannah, Georgia, the mother of the deceased had been ‘at the home for some weeks past to assist Mra. McNeil in caring for him, She will accompany the wife on the last sad journy to the old home in the south. Mr. MeNeil belonged to the Color- ed Masonic fraternity and was duly and well prepared for the change that came to him. He had known that there was no help for hia ill- ness, had talked with his minister and at theend passed away quietly and calmly. Brief funeral services will be held at the home, the flat residence above 213 Fifth avenue, Tuesday morning at eight o’clock. They will be con- ducted by the Rev. Allen Judd of St. John’s Episcopal church, in whioh faith the decedent had been baptized- Following the services, the faneral party will take the 9 o'clock train for Chicago and thence to Sa- vannah, Georgia where interment will be made in the family lot in that city’s cemetery. A Bluffton Entertainment Quite s unique entertainment was given at the home of Mra. P. A. Riley on Friday evening of last week The parlor was tastily decorated with vines and palms and the ladies were very becomingly dressed. The ‘games of flinch and pit ware played, after which Mrs. ‘f. WN. Rivers rendered aome very pretty selections of instromental music. Mrs. W. E. Dezon algo introduced some very in- teresting games, which were much enjoyed. The danoing and parlor games were indulged in until 11:30 then a very dainty repast was served after which the guests bid each and every one a merry good night.

Jenkins, Chairlady of finance; Miss Alice Perry, Recording Secretary; Miss Florence E. Kennedy, Chairlady of Health; Mrs. L. Turner, Clerk of order; Mrs. R.

Last Sunday an unusual attendance of 136 were present. Mr. S. Grant spoke on the "Negro as a political factor" and every one present saw the necessity of doing their duty in politics. Mr. Grant's paper will appear in next week's issue. The night meeting was held at Bethel church. Mr. Overstreet spoke for the Sunday Club. Dr. Este on "Smitation" and Miss Edwards on Mothers Circles. The meeting appealed to those present and the circle organized last week was very encouraging. The various circles report success in organizing and a bright outlook for practical work. The sphere of usefulness is very broad and the Sunday Club with the aid of the circles and friends expect to accomplish much good. We are glad to publish an excerpt from the paper of Prof. Thompson which was delivered at the meeting on the 13th. Tomorrow being special day for ladies, an unusual musical program will be rendered. Come and enjoy the music. Following is an excerpt from Prof. Thompson's address: "The educative value of manual training is now generally conceded. For well-known psychological reasons, many forms of hand craft may be made as educative as reading, writing or arithmetic. "It is important to teach the young, that thought may be expressed by the labor of the hand as well as by tongue or pen and that the hand should be the skillful servant of the brain in all labor. "It is wrong to confine pupils, during the period of their greatest activity to purely speculative studies. Then abstract and book education should be supplemented by practical hand training. The whole boy should be sent to school and not merely his head. "The economic value of industrial training is worthy of consideration. --- The decadence of the apprentice system makes the industrial school and manual training the only places where young people can get a practical knowledge of the rudiments of the useful arts. In a few years, American industrial activity will be taken up by foreigners or depend almost entirely upon our industrial and trade schools for its supply of skilled labor. "Industrial training is an important factor in instilling into the minds of the young, the exhalted idea of the true dignity of honest labor. "The aristocratic condition of society in the South, before the war, made all forms of manual labor disreputable. 'This fact is apparent in Southern industrial development to-day. The manual training and trade school are the most potent factors for placing all kinds of the honest labor, and especially labor that requires skill, upon the highest possible plains. "In conclusion industrial education should be for the masses; higher education for those who have the time, the means and the ability to procure it." Fraud Exposed. A few counterfeiters have lately been making and trying to sell imitations of Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs, and Colds, and other medicines, thereby defrauding the public. This is to warn you to beware of such people, who seek to profit through stealing the reputation of remedies which have been successfully curing disease, for over 35 years. A sure.protection, to you, is our name on the wrapper. Look for it, on all Dr. King's or Bucklen's remedies, as all others are mere imitations. H. H. BUCKLEN & CO. Chicago, Ill., and Windsor, Canada.

Page, Page Optical Co., Erie, Pa., writes: "Taking too many iced drinks in New York in 1895 sent me home with a terrible attack of kidney trouble. I had acute congestion, sharp pain in the back, headaches and attacks of dizziness. My eyes gave out, and with the languor and sleeplessness of the disease upon me I sent me home with a terrible attack of kidney trouble. I had acute congestion, sharp pain in the back, headaches and attacks of dizziness. My eyes gave out, and with the languor and sleeplessness of the disease upon me I wasted from 104 to 122 pounds. At the time I started using Donan's Kidney Pills an abscess was forming on my right kidney.

RAW ITCHING ECZEMA Etotches on Hands, Ears and Abkies For Three. Years—Instant Itself and Speedy Care by Cuticura. "Thanks to Cuticura I am now rid of that fearful pest, weeping eczema, for the first time in three years. It first appeared on my hand, a little pimple, growing into several blotches, and then on my ears and ankles. They were exceedingly painful, itching, and always raw. After the first day's treatment with Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills, there was very little of the burning and itching, and the cure now seems to be complete. (Signed) S. B. Hge, Passenger Agent B. & O. R. R., Washington, D. C." THE FAMILY VICTIM. Having Made a Fortune, This Old Map is New Under Discipline. Every morning at 9 o'clock precisely an old gentleman, walking with the aid of a stout cane, enters the side door of a Broadway saloon in the Ninottes and takes a seat in a corner where he is comparatively safe from observation. The bartender, without asking questions, carries to him a cigar and a drink of whiskey, and the old gentleman smokes and slips in apparent contentment. Just before the cigar is finished he takes another drink. Then he walks slowly down to Riverside Drive and sits in a shady spot until lunch time, when he enters a fine mansion near by and is seen no more until the following morning. "That's a funny case," said the bartender, as the old gentleman went out after his customary cigar and drinks. "He's a retired banker and lives in luxury. He has a large family and they have everything they wish for. But the old man is looked upon as a sort-of necessary evil about the house. He is not permitted to smoke in the house, and as for drinking—why, any member of the family would have a fit if they saw anything of an alcoholic nature on the premises. "Now that he has made the money which supports them, they relegate the old man to the rear, and he is at that age where he hasn't spirit to rebel. So he comes in here every day and 'sneaks' his drink and smoke and goes back home contented. Ain't this a queer world?"—New York Press. Motor Cars and Dust. After experiments with the motor car which he uses daily, the chief surveyor of Essex finds that at a speed not exceeding ten miles an hour a motor car creates comparatively little dust upon a properly made road, but at fifteen to twenty miles an hour, especially with heavy cars, the nuissance is intolerable. The expense of treating the main roads of the country outside the urban districts with tar macadam would be £1,611,000. WRONG SORT Perhaps Plain Old Meat, Potatoes and Bread May Be Against You For a Time. 'A change to the right kind of food can lift one from a sick bed. A lady in Welden, Ill., says: "Last spring I became bedfast with severe stomach trouble accompanied by sick headache. I got worse and worse until I became so low I could scarcely retain any food at all, although I tried every kind. I had become completely discouraged, had given up all hope and thought I was doomed to starve to death, till one day my husband trying to find something I could retain brought home some Grape-Nuts. "To my surprise the food agreed with me, digested perfectly and without distress. I began to gain strength at once, my flesh (which had been flabby) grew firmer, my health improved in every way and every day, and in a very few weeks I gained 20 pounds in weight. I liked Grape-Nuts so well that for 4 months I ate no other food, and always felt as well satisfied after eating as if I had sat down to a fine banquet. "I had no return of the miserable sick stomach nor of the headaches that I used to have when I ate other food. I am now a well woman, doing all my own work again, and feel that life is worth living. "Grape-Nuts food has been a godsend to my family; it surely saved my life and my two little boys have thriven on it wonderfully." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek," Mich.

The reason is obvious in this "germ age." TO REMOVE COFFEE STAINS. A tablespoonful of sal-soda, over which boiling water is poured, is recommended for taking stains off coffee pots. With this treatment no boiling is necessary. Have a little bag hung on the inside of the sewing machine frame at the left hand to receive clippings that so quickly accumulate when working at the machine. TO REMOVE A SCORCH STAIN. A slight scorch on a muslin garment will disappear if hung out in the sunshine. If the scorch is dark, wet the surface and lay in the sunshine. Sometimes the process has to be repeated several times. A USEFUL KETTLE. An oblong fish kettle of enameled ware should be part of every kitchen outfit. The best kettles have perforated drainers with wire handles at the sides, by which the fish can be lifted easily and conveniently. These kettles will be found useful for boiling green corn as well as fish. CARE OF THE BABY. Treat the baby as a tropical plant, advises Good Housekeeping, and do not try to toughen him by taking him out every day. Thirty-five degrees is cold enough for a child under two years. Never take him out when the atmosphere is dark and rainy, and keep him in the sunshine and out of the wind as much as possible. Protect the eyes from the sun always with a dark umbrella. DAMP ROOMS. To ascertain whether or not a room is damp about a couple of pounds of fresh lime should be placed therein after hermetically closing doors and windows. In twenty-four hours it should be weighed, and if the lime has absorbed more than one per cent. of water the room should be considered damp, and classed as unhealthy. The question of the dampness of dwellings is a frequent cause of dispute between landlord and tenant, and is naturally solved in the negative by the former. The question can be settled in the future by the test of the hydration of lime, which will give irrefutable proof of the validity of such complaint. Harlequin Sherbet—Boll one quart of water and one pound of sugar till a sipu is formed. Strain and add one pint of fruit juice and a very little lemon juice. Mix thoroughly and set aside to cool; then freeze. Camelon of Beef—Chop two pounds of veal very fine. Add one-quarter pound of chopped fat salt pork, a little grated nutmeg and one very small onion chopped fine. Beat two eggs and add them to the meat. Season with salt and pepper, pack in a buttered pan, cover with buttered-bread crumbs and bake in a moderate oven for one hour, then in a little hotter oven for another hour. Eat cold, sliced thin. Sauce For the Glace-To prepare the sauce for plum pudding glace mix two egg yolks with one ounce of powdered sugar. Place on a slow store and stir it briskly. Heat it well, but do not let it boil. Take it from the store and stir it continually for twelve minutes. Then fold in a pint of well whipped cream. Before adding the ratisms and other fruit to the ice cream let them cook for ten or twelve hours and mix them thoroughly together. The fruit should also be added the last minute--after the cream is frozen. All fresh fruits should be soaked first in a liquid of some kind, if they are packed in ice cream for any length of time. This will not be necessary if they are to be stirred in just before serving. Veal Loaf-This is a savory dish at picnics and simple country suppers. Mince three pounds of raw, lean veal and a quarter of a pound of the best fat pork. Sprinkle through the meat half an onion, grated fine; half a teaspoonful of powdered thyme, a scant saltspoonful of powdered sweet parsoram, the same amount of summer savory, one tablespoonful of salt and a half-teaspoonful of pepper. When the meat is minced and, the seasoning added, mix in about two-thirds of a cup of cracker crumbs, half a cup of veal gravy, the yolk of an egg and the whites of two eggs, well beaten together. Form the whole into a compact loaf. Roll it until coated in the two yolks of the eggs left over, and then into sifted cracker or bread crumbs. Set the loaf on a rack in pan, and when it begins to brown pour a cup of boiling water under it and continue the roasting, basting the meat every fifteen minutes and renewing the water as it bolls away. It will take about two or two and a half hours to roast it thoroughly unless the oven is very hot. Although this veal loaf can be served hot, it is usually served cold, out in this slices.

"Of course not," replied the romantic young man. "What chance would Cupid have if there were not clouds to hide the moon man's face occasionally?"

When mama tells you not to touch the jam, you should obey her. What would you do if your mamma should be taken away from you? Kunzite is a new, semi-precious mauve stone and a novelty in jewelry. There are sizars that look like brown diamonds, and many varieties of green stones, including apple-green chrysophase, perl, tourmalines and olivines, pink sapphires, white topazes, Labador, jade and onyx, all of which are being made up in the most artistic fashion. Strangest of all, however, is the water stone of Uruguay; it is semi-transparent and white and in its center is water that moves about as the stone is moved. The fashion of wearing inexpensive colored beads, imitations of semi-precious stones, or with no pretense of imitating anything, is an artistic fad. There are both round and oval iliac and hellotrope beads of necklace length that are pretty with mauve gowns, and green ones for green gowns, and so on. A white lace or mull blouse over a iliac skirt and coat and hat trimmed with iliacs is enhanced by a short string of iliac-hued crystal beads. For those who object to imitations of jewels, but who haven't the money for the costly real articles, real amber and coral and gold beads can be procured at low prices.—Philadelphia Record.

FOLLOWS HIS NOSE. How a Blind Man Finde His Way About the Busy City. There is a blind man living in the heart of New York who walks nearly every day from his home to a little restaurant in Canal street. The distance each way is from eighteen to twenty blocks, according to his route, and to see him sauntering carelessly along one, would never suspect his infirmity. When some one asked him how he managed to find his way he said: "When a man has his sight the smell of the streets are all mixed up, but when he is blind he learns to separate them. The odors of the shops when the doors are open these fine days are almost as plain to my nose as the signs used to be over the doors. Some of them you might never notice. Take a dry goods store, for instance. It smells of cloth. Iron and tin have smells of their own, and I can tell a hardware store immediately. I pass two book stores nearly every day, and I scent them yards off by the old books. Then there are a great many other indescribable odors by which I know this place and that. "Of course, my fet is an principal guide, and I've been over the ground so often that I have learned every inequality by heart. But I couldn't get along with either nose or feet alone. They work together, and when one fails the other helps out. Between them they make a very good substitute for eyes. "The secret of my stepping out is that I've learned how to step. People who can see hurl themselves forward like locomotives. That's why the shock is always so unexpectedly violent when you collide with another person. But I put no extra power whatever in my movements, and if the toe of my shoe touches some unknown object I stop stock still immediately."—New York Press. A TOUGH QUESTION. Willie Reed—"Gee.

URE is Guaranteed The "change of life" is the most critical period of a woman's existence, and the anxiety felt by women as it draws near is not without reason. Every woman who neglects the care of her health at this time invites disease and pain. When her system is in a deranged condition, or she is predisposed to apoplexy, or congestion of any organ, the tendency is at this period likely to become active—and with a host of nervous irritations, make life a burden. At this time, also, cannons and tumors are more liable to form and begin their destructive work. Such warning symptoms as sense of suffocation, hot flashes, headaches backaches, dread of impending evil, timidity, sounds in the ears, palpitations of the heart, palpitations of the heart, irregularities, constipation, variable appetite, weakness and inquietude, and dizziness, are promptly headed by intelligent women who are approaching the pericx in life when woman's great change may be expected. These symptoms are all just so many calls from nature for help. The nerves are crying out for assistance and the cry should be heeded in time. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was prepared to meet the needs of woman's system at this trying period of her life. It invigorates and strengthens the female organism and builds up the weakened nervous system. It has carried thousands of women safely through this crisis. For special advice regarding this important period women are invited to write to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn, Mass., and it will be furnished absolutely free of charge. Road what Lydia E. Pinkham's Compound did for Mrs. Hyland and Mrs. Hinkle: Dear Mrs. Plukham: "I had been suffering with falling of the womb for years and was passing through the Change of Life. My womb was badly swollen, and I could not spell, spells, sick headaches, and was very nervous. "I wrote you for advice and commenced treatment with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound as you directed, and I am happy to say that all those distressing symptoms met and I have passively through them, recommending your medicine to all my friends." Mrs. Annie E. G. Hyland, Chestertown, MD. Another Woman's Case. "During change of life words cannot express what I suffered. My physician said I had a cancer condition of the womb. One day I read some of the testimonials of women with Vegetable Compound, and I decided to try it and to write you for advice. Your medicine made me a well woman, and all my bad symptoms soon disappeared. I advise very women at this period of life to write and write you for advice." Mrs. Lizzie Hinkle, Salem, Ind. What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound did for Mrs. Hyland and Mrs. Hinkle will do for any woman at this time of life. It has conquered pain, restored health, and prolonged life in cases that utterly buffed physicians. =
