VOL. XXI. Vociferous Welcome Given at Washington's School. JUBILATION EVERYWHERE Confederate Badge Presented Him at Birmingham While Ancient Capital City Did Herself Proud in Patriotic Reception. President Roosevelt's trip through Alabama Tuesday was in the nature of a triumphal march. At Montgomery, Tuskegee and Birmingham the receptions were spontaneous and genuine. At many points along the route, where the train did not even stop, great crowds had gathered at the stations, and in one or two instances, military companies were drawn up in line and saluted as the train sped by. ```markdown ``` The crowd which saw the president in Birmingham Tuesday afternoon was by far the largest ever seen in the Alabama metropolis. A feature was the presentation to the president of a confederate badge by Camp Hardee No. 39. The presentation speech was made by Governor Johnston. At Booker Washington's School. With the eyes of eighty million American citizens focused on him Tuesday morning at 8:30 o'clock President Roosevelt boldly stepped from the train in Tuskegee, Ala., which Booker T. Washington, has brought into national prominence, to all appearances unconscious that a few months since his hospitality to Washington had created a national sensation. The city was beautifully decorated. A number of arches, the foundations of which were made of hales of cotton, had been erected and covered with bunting. The platform from which the president spoke to the people of the city was made from $30,000 worth of cotton in original bales. After addressing the people of Tuskegee the president left for the negro institution presided over by Booker Washington. The president was received by Dooker Washington and members of the institute, board of trustees and faculty. He then entered a carriage made by the students of the school, drawn by horses raised at the school and driven by a student in the school uniform. The party proceeded immediately to an elaborately decorated stand in front of the office building surmounted by the president's flag. From this point he viewed the educational and industrial parade, upon the preparation of which the students and faculty have been at work for several weeks. This parade was headed by the institute band. Then came 1,500 students of the school, in two divisions; each wearing a stalk of sugar cane topped, with a cotton boll, all raised in the school's agricultural experiment station. After the parade exercises .were held in the chapel, Principal Booker -T Washington presenting the president. Before beginning his speech, the president said he had no idea that he would be so deeply impressed and so deeply pleased as he had been. "While I have always stood for this institution," he continued, "now that I have seen it and realize as I had never realized by the descriptions of it, all it means, I will stand for it more than ever." Great Day In Montgomery. Amidst the booming of cannon, blowing of whistles and the cheering of many thousands of people, President Roosaveelt arrived promptly at noon from Tuskegee, and then became the guest of the people of the first capital of the confederacy. The patroltic sentiment of the people was expressed everywhere. The president's address was delivered from a platform which had been erected in front of the historic old capital building within a few feet of the spot where Jefferson Davls took the oath of office as the first president of the confederacy. The welcome to the president was more than perfunctory civility—it was cordial and enthusiastic. The president-seemed greatly pleased with his reception. American Minister to Mediate Between France and Venezuela. A special from Caracas, Venezuela, says: The government at Washington is commissioned the American miner, Mr. Russell, to endeavor to arrange the Franco-Venezuelan diplomat-incident. Mr., Russell will go to Los Angeles and have an interview with insident Castro. The Savannah Tribune. Newspaper Man Hired at Big Salary to Disseminate News Favorable to the Insurance Graff. At the session in New York, Tuesday, of the legislative committee investigating the insurance companies, the affairs of the Mutual Life Insurance company were under consideration, and it was brought out that this company was paying for the dissemination throughout the country of reports of this investigation that were favorable to the company. Charles J. Smith, a newspaper man, was the man employed by the Mutual Life Insurance company to do a large number of things, but a month ago was placed in charge of sending out these reports. Mr. Smith had vised a number of vouchers for the payment for this work, and these aggregated $11,000, with other bills to come in. He thought the amount to date would reach $14,000. Mr. Smith wrote these reports and submitted them to Allan Forman, who owns the telegraphic news bureau, and $1 a line was paid by the Mutual Life for the service. Clippings from various papers about the country were shown to the witness and identified as the dispatches he wrote and sent to Mr. Forman. These were sent to about 100 papers, but Mr. Smith did not know whether the papers were paid for inserting them. In one dispatch Mr. Smith wrote that Mr. McCurdy's attitude on the stand made a distinctly favorable impression, and for this he had to pay $2 per line. This he said was worth it. Following Mr. Smith Walter Sull van, who has charge of the magazine advertising department, was called. He said the Mutual advertised in twelve magazines last year at a cost of $42,000. Advertising in insurance papers cost about $30,000 more, but he could not tell where the remainder of the account—$329,797, the amount charged up to advertising last year—was spent. Earlier in the day Emory McClintock, the actuary of the Mutual Life, was on the stand. The entire session of the day before recess was given over to his explanations of technical insurance. Dr. McClintock practically advocated no laws for the insurance companies except a certain supervision to give the reports publicity. He thought the public could take care of themselves, and that publicity was the best law. Asked how far this view was shared in official circles, he thought he was somewhat of a missionary along that line. Mr. McClintock was to have been on the stand again in the afternoon session, but during recess he was seized with a slight attack of vertigo to which he is subject. He will be called again Thursday. John R. Hegeman, president of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company, was examined and when adjournment was taken for the day his testimony was unfinished. SECRETARY LOEB HAS A FIGHT. Engages In Personal Difficulty With Secret Service Man. Secretary Loeb and Secret Service Agent E. B. McAdams of the local force engaged in a personal difficulty at Birmingham, Ala., Tuesday afternoon, in the presence of President Roosevelt. The president had just gotten into his carriage to enter the parade, and Secretary Loeb was about to get in with him when McAdams, not knowing him, jerked him aside. Mr. Loeb delivered a blow to McAdams, and McAdams replied in kind with an additional kick, when friends jumped between them and explanations were made. - SIX MURDER INDICTMENTS. Returned Against Negro Boy for Killing Woman and Four Children. Six indictments, five murder and one criminal assault, were returned against Monk Gibson, the negro boy accused of killing Mrs. A. J. Conditt and four children near Edna, Texas, September 28. District Judge Wilson read an order granting a change of venue to Bexar county to Gibson. While the attention of the public was directed to the reading of the order, twelve Rangers took Gibson from the jail, and hurried him to the train. Taft Announces Willingness to Enter Deals for Canal Work. The government of the United States is willing to enter into contracts with corporations or individuals for the construction of any portion or all of the Panama canal. This statement was made by Secretary, Taft at Washington Monday, while discussing the policy of the government. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. OCTOBER 28 1905. IN LANDOFFLOWERS President is Given a Most Enthusiastic Reception. MAKES MANY ADDRESSES Holds Forth at Jacksonville and Ancient City, of St. Augustine and Enjoys Visit Immensely. Leayes for Alabama. The reception to President Roosevelt in Jacksonville, Fla., was a hearty one. Thousands thronged the streets on his line of march, and the president showed in his manner his appreciation of the good will that was manifested on every side. The presidential party arrived at 10:30 Saturday morning, on a special Southern train. On its arrival at the depot, where thousands of cheering people had gathered, a special reception committee, consisting of Governor Broward, Mayor Nolan, President Warner of the board of trade, United States Senators Tallaferro and Mallory and Congressmen Sparkman, Lamar and Clark and Editors Wilson and Carter, proceeded to the president's car and gave him a cordial greeting. The president looked fresh and vigorous after a night's sleep and expressed himself delighted with being in Florida. After driving through the principal streets the president was taken to the Seminole Club, where he made a brief address on good citizenship. He was then driven to Jacksonville board of trade auditorium and luncheon was served. After luncheon the president spoke. He devoted his attention chiefly to the Panama canal and the relations of the United States with other American republics. After luncheon the president was driven to the negro Baptist academy, where he delivered a short speech. Preceding his speech there, was a brief ceremony in the assembly hall, in which students participated. This consisted in the singing of a number of songs especially written for the occasion. The last one entitled, "You Are All Right, Teddy," caused the president to smile broadly. The president and his party were then driven around the city, after which they were taken to the depot. At 4:45 o'clock the president left for St. Augustine, the oldest city in the United States, where he arrived at 6 o'clock. The city was in gala attire to welcome him. From the railroad station to the Ponce de Leon hotel, the streets were made almost as bright as day with colored electric lights and red fire. On the way to the hotel, the president was driven through the city gate, where he was presented by the school children with a key to the city, made of flowers. A pretty feature of the drive which pleased the president immensely was as his carriage was slowly passing through the city gates a party of young ladies stationed on top of the historical gates showered his carriage with flowers. At 7 o'clock the president was driven from the hotel to Fort Marion, where he delivered an address. Here a large crowd had gathered and the greeting extended to him was a warm one. In his speech at Fort Marion the president dwelt on the subject of "good citizenship," also the aims and objects of this government. At the conclusion of his address, the president was driven to the Valencia hotel, where he was the guest of the board of trade at supper. He then returned to his hotel and retired. His day in St. Augustine Sunday was a quiet one. He attended services in the Presbyterian Memorial church at 11 o'clock. The church was crowded to overflowing. At the conclusion, of the services the president was taken for a short drive about the city. After luncheon, the president, accompanied by Secretary Loeb, Surgeon General Rixey, John McIlhennoy and John Greenway, the latter two of whom have been his guests on the trip south, drove to Fort Marlon, where the boarded a launch and went to Anastasia, an island. Here the party domed bathing suits and had a bath in the salt water. The president enjoyed the bath greatly. Dinner was served at the hotel Sunday night, after which the president droye, to his train. He left St. Augustine at 9 o'clock for his tour of Alabama. Drop In Temperature Brings Further Hope and Joy to New Orleans, Summary of Fever Situation. Hope that the cold wave prediction and frost warnings of the weather bureau would be realized and that frost would come over a large portion of Louisiana and Mississippi, bringing an end to quarantines, was the dominant factor in consideration of the yellow fever situation at New Orleans Friday. The weather map showed the most pronounced wintery conditions this season between the Rocky mountain plateau and the central valleys, with a tumble of the mercury in Oklahoma, the Texas Panhandle, Arkansas and north Louisiana, and there was a promise of frost in the interior of Louisiana and through Mississippi. In New Orleans the improvement in the situation continued through the day with a remarkably low list of cases. For nearly a week past the death list has been daily either insignificant or a blank altogether, and the conviction is growing that November 1 will mark the total extinction of all cases. Business continues to improve and there is marked activity on the streets. It is evident that the forthcoming visit of the president is causing many people to cut short their vacations, just as it is operating to reopen communication between New Orleans and other parts of the state. Interest is aroused in the descriptions that are printed of the president's entertainment as he travels to his journey's end, and there is manifest a disposition to make his reception in the Crescent City in every respect the climax of his trip. The Mississippi yellow fever summary for Friday was as follows: Natchez—One new case, one death, one new foci. Vicksburg—Two new cases, and two in county. Dr. Rauch, a young physician, who contracted the disease while alding in the fight at Roxie and Hamburg, died Friday morning. Gulfport—One new case, no deaths. No new cases at other points on the gulf coast. Roxie—One new case, no deaths. Hamburg—One new case, no deaths. Port Gibson—No new cases, no deaths. The summary of the yellow fever in Pensacola was as follows: New cases 12, total cases 458, deaths none, total deaths 64, discharged 254, under treatment 140. The situation continues to improve and with the approach of colder weather, which is now being felt, it is expected that the officials will have no trouble in stamping out the disease. Man Who Gave Philanthropist His First Position is Dead. Martin Barth is dead at his home at Gallatin, Tenn., aged 73. Andrew Carnegie held his first position under Mr. Barth. It was while the latter was chief messenger of the old Atlantic arll Ohio Telegraph company at Pittsburg, Pa., in 1848, when Mr. Carnegie was made assistant messenger. Later when Mr. Barth graduated into the higher position of operator Mr. Carnegie was given the position of chief messenger. Traffic Manager Emerson Before Interstate Commerce Commission. The private car line inquiry was continued before the interstate commerce commission at Washington Friday. H. M. Emerson, traffic manager of the Atlantic Coast Line, resumed the stand and continued his testimony in reference to his exclusive contract with the Armour car lines for refrigerator cars. Suit Against Oil Company. Suit for thirty thousand dollars has been filed at Austin, Texas, against the Waters Pierce Oil company by the district attorney for failure to comply with the provisions of the Kennedy tax bill passed by the last legislature, levying a two per cent, tax upon all oil companies' gross receipts. Trouble in Textile Mills at Fall River Again Brewing. The textile situation in Fall River, Mass., was more critical Monday night than it has been at any time since the close of the great strike last January. The Manufacturers' Association, representing all the print cloth mills in the city, with one exception, held a meeting and voted to refuse the request of the textile council for a direct restoration of the wage schedule, which prevailed previous to the 12-1-2 per cent reduction of July 25, 1904. AT MOTHER'S HOME OLD MEMORIES REVIVED Welcome in Atlanta by the Largest Crowd of People That Was Ever Gotten Together in Georgia's Capital City. President Theodore Roosevelt will never forget the two hours he spent in Roswell, Ga., Friday morning. It was a very quiet affair, but it touched the heart chords tuned long ago when Theodore Roosevelt leaned on his mother's knee and listened eagerly to stories of the "old home," far away in Georgia. Rogswell met the occasion splendidly. Little flags, a myriad of them, fluttered in the wind all; along the pretty drive from the station and two bands greeted the visitor with martial music. But, despite this, and despite the fact that the guest of the day was the president, no one ever forgot that the sentiments of the son were uppermost in his heart and the whole occasion was arranged to gratify his feelings rather than those of his hosts. There were few people in the welcoming group, not closely related to the men and women of the neighborhood of old Roswell when Theodore Roosevelt, Sr., came down from New York to wed pretty Martha Bullock, and the old house amid the trees was full of inarticulate voices, familiar, sweetly sad to the ears and heart of the man in the Prince Albert coat and slik hat, who alighted from his carriage and began shaking hands right and left. In his address the president said in part: "You have no idea of how much it means to me to come back to Roswell, to the home of my mother and of my mother's people and to see the spot which I already know so well from what my mother and my aunt have told me. It has been exactly as if I were revisiting some old place of my childhood. "It has been my very great good fortune to have the right to claim that my blood is half southern and half northern, and I would deny the right of any man here to feel a greater pride in the deeds of every southerner than I feel. Of the children, the brothers and sisters of my mother who were born and brought up in that house on the hill there, my two uncles afterward entered the confederate service and served in the confederate navy." At the station the final farewells were said to the committee, the Murletta band played one more air and the president and his party boarded the train again for the short but pleasant trip over the Southern railroad to Atlanta, where the eager thousands were awaiting them. In all her history Atlanta never accorded quite so royal and enthusiastic a welcome to an honored guest as that given to President Roosevelt. Almost from the moment he stepped from his train upon arrival at the terminal station, he found himself surrounded by admiring thousands who crowded the approaches and lined the streets, often far beyond the limits fixed by the police. Tall buildings and store tops became grand stands for thousands who were fortunate enough to climb above the tightly packed masses of humanity on the sidewalks below, where motion was practically impossible. It was the unanimous opinion that Atlanta had broken the record of all her largest crowds. For more than a mile along the line of march from the terminal station the people thronged the streets. It is reported in Tokio that M. Ku rino, the Japanese minister to Russia at the time war was declared between the two nations, will again be sent to St. Petersburg. SOPHS THREATEN TO RESIGN. Trouble In Davidson College is Brought About by Hazing; Brought About by Hazing. Unless three of their class who were dismissed for hazing are reinstated, the entire sophomore class of Davidson college at Charlotte, N. C., numbering about seventy-five, will walk out, all but six of the class having signed an agreement to this effect. Recently the sophomores corralled the entire freshman class on the campus and made them go through military drill. Later twenty freshmen gave the class yell on the campus and each received a mild thrashing at the hands of the sophomores. President Jordan Urges Cotton Growers to Stand Firm and Fight Against Depressed Market. In view of the present status of the cotton market, which is far from being as encouraging as desired, President Harvie Jordan of the Southern Cotton Association has issued the following appeal to the members of the association and planters generally to join in the great co-operative movement for bringing the market up to that basis which will give the price to which the cotton growers of the south are entitled for their product: "The continued unwarranted depression in the price of spot-cotton should appeal to every business interest in the south. At present prices farmers should and must stand firm and refuse to market a single bale which can be held on the farms, or financed through the banks. I earnestly ask for the active cooperation of all the merchants, bankers, guard dealers and cotton factors throughout the full extent of their power until the market reacts to higher figures. This cooperation and assistance can be best subserved at this time by granting to every farmer possible an extension of their accounts and notes to January 1, 1906. If this is done promptly, an absolute tie-up of the cotton market can be made for the next two or three months, and the spinners will be compelled to have large quantities of spot cotton before the end of that time. Prices must advance in the near future. The time for general cooperation all along the line is at hand, and I appeal to every interest with which the producers deal to do their full part in the present fight. Grant all extensions possible that can be secured by cotton as collateral, and to not press the producers who owe money to a settlement at present, low prices. The up the spots and let the whole world understand that the south is solid in the protection of her great staple from the 'bearish' speculator and the hands of the foreign spinner. All state presidents are urged to call mass meetings at once in counties of their divisions to secure the immediate co-operation of farmers and business interests to stop the sale of cotton. Scarcely any cotton is now being sold by the farmers, and while the fight is on let us stand shoulder to shoulder, farmers, merchants, bankers and all for the protection of the staple and the future prosperity of the south. "HARVIE JORDAN, "Prealent Southern Cotton Again." RUSSIANS GOING HOME. Troops In Manchuria Ordered to Break Camp and Vaccate. A special, from Harbin, Manchuria, says: Now that the ratification of the peace treaty has been announced to the army, permission has been given by headquarters to telegraph the fact that the troops are being demobilized; All northbound trains from the positions are loaded with troops and their equipment. Half of all the native buildings in the northern part of Kunanhenget and vicinity have been requisitioned for use preparatory to this movement homeward, and many, of the nuts and buildings elsewhere will be used by those troops which the authorities will be unable to move before winter. Lieutenant General Linovitch, who has been in Harbin since October 15, contemplates a visit to Vladivostok. A prominent general has been appointed to conduct the movement of Russian prisoners from Nagasaid. The Russo-Chinese bank is preparing to reopen its former branch along the line of the South Manchuria railroad, and is arranging to establish agencies at Dalny, Port Arthur, Yaknow, Mukden and Tie Pass. The Amur railroad will be immediately extended to Blagovestchensk and Kabarovsk. Friar Lande Question Settled. The question of the frier lands purchase was practically settled at Manila Saturday when the committee paid the Dominican order 24,925,000, which is the first payment. Mrs. James Russell was born on Monday by her husband, who died in the eastern part of Baxter County, Missouri. The tragedy grew out of a divorce suit in which the woman cured a divorce and the man cured an only child. When she presented the sentence order for the child, Russell apologized. He then turned the gun on the man and insisted a wound that was easy to prove fatal. HON. AROHIBALD H. GRIMKE, of Boston, his consented to prepare a leafflit program containing extracts from Garrison's writings and addresses, adaptable for use in churches and in other meetings December 10th in connection with the centenary celebration of Garrison's birthday. Information will later be given as to how and where these leaflets can be gotten. Garrison's Birth Day Tuskegee Institute, Ala. October 2, 1905. I think it fitting to remind your readers and our people throughout the country that December 10th will mark the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of William Loyd Garrison and it seems to me most proper that some form of celebration as nearly uniform in character as possible be decided upon in which our people shall take part throughout the United States. I confess at the moment I have nothing definite in mind, but I think a discussion of the subject through the press and in other public ways will soon lead us to some form of definite opinion as to the proper method of having a fitting celebration of the birth of the man to whom our race and the world in general is so greatly indebted. If thought proper, I believe some proper committee can be organized that will plan a way through which some celebration would be uniform and be made successful. Since the anniversary comes on Sunday, prehaps one method of celebration might be to have addresses and sermons delivered in all the color d churches throughout the country bearing upon the life and services of Mr. Garrison on that day. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. Visit of the President to Tuskegee Institute. Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Oct. 24th—President Roosevelt reach the grounds of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute at 8:30 o'clock Tuesday morning last and after a brief stop in the town of Tuskegee, where he was received by the Mayor and other distinguished citizens of Alabama, he spoke warmly and felicitously from a platform in the grounds of the girl's college located here. The President's train was then carried directly into the grounds of the Institute, over its private track which connects with the main line. From 12 o'clock last night until morning great crowds of country people, white and black, have been coming from all sections of the surrounding territory to Tuskegee. A varigated assortment of non-descript vehicles, of many kinds, were cared for by the Institute in an immense enclosure. The President was driven by this motley collection and seemed to greatly enjoy the sight. The President's party consisted of Secretary William Loeb, Jr.; Surgeon General Rixey, U. S. Navy; Hon. John McHenry of Louisiana; Hon. J. C. Greenway of Michigan; M. O. Latta and J. L. McGrew, stenographers; H. A. Coleman, representing the Associated Press; R. H. Hazzard, representing the Publishers' and Scripps-McRae Press Associations; Walter E. Clark, representing the New York Sun Press Association; H. A. Strohmeyer, photographer; Col. L. S. Brown, general agent of the Southern Railway Company; and Judge Thomas G. Jones of Federal Court of Alabama, Hon. J. O. Thompson, Collector of Internal Revenue, Birmingham, Ala., who joined the Presidential party at Montgomery. The President was received by Principal Booker T. Washington and members of the Institute Board of Trustees and Faculty. He then entered a finely built carriage, made by the Students of the school, drawn by horses raised at the school, and driven by a student in the school's uniform. Four other carriages, also made by the students, in which members of the President's party were seated, followed. The party at once proceeded to an elaborately decorated reviewing stand, erected in the front of the Office Building, surmounted by the President's flag. Immediately the Educational and Industrial parade, upon which the students and teachers have for several weeks been at work, started. First came the Institute Band, led by Elbert B. Williams, Bandmaster, member of the 6th Calvary, U. S. Army—which saw service with the President's Rough Riders at Santiago—who is detailed by the War Department to Tuskegee, followed by the nearly 1,500 students of the school in two divisions; the young men uniformed in blue suits, with brass buttons, white gloves and cadet caps led by Major J. B. Ramsey, and then the young women, uniformed in blue dresses trimmed with red braid and wearing blue straw braid hats, led by Miss Jane E. Clark, Dean of the Woman's Department, each bearing a stalk of sugar cane, tipped with a cotton boll, both raised in the school's Agricultural Experiment Stations. Immediately behind the student body came, a series of 73 floats, representing the various phases of the work of the Academic Department and the 37 Industrial divisions of the school. The school was able to put in evidence in this way, example of the work being carried on in all the departments. Of the floats representing the Academic, Agricultural, Mechanical, and the Girl's Industries, the most striking, perhaps, were the following: THE BROOMMAKING AND BASKETRY floats displayed* girls* at work, winding *straw* on broom handles by hair, machineery, also pressing and sewing lamps and cleaning off old, broom handles* for the purpose of putting on new* lamps, the decorations on the floor were fitted the roof was fitted with pine straw; draperies on it, sweet gum balls, and China berries* were used and the sides below the floor were covered with broom straw. Unique also was the exhibition of Indian baskets, rull baskets, pine, shuck and raffia baskets, raffia, bead and shuck belts, brooms, bed purses, African purses, raffia hats, etc THE MILLINERY floats showed the making of uniform hats used by the girls in the school; four girls were at work, trimming, draping and trying on hats. The new shade of silk, the "Alice" blue was exhibited made up glitter girdle and collar. A large arch of autumn leaves with the word "Millinery" woven in foliage erected on the float was a striking feature. ON THE BLACKSMITHS' float there were in operation, a heating forge, a large drill press, and a thread cutter. Four boys were at work heating and forging, and bending tires. The float was decorated with specimens of shop work consisting of forgings horse shoes, and fancy designed iron railings, etc. SHOWMAKING was represented by a float containing six boys who were making shoes repairing, cutting out and fitting uppers by machinery. Leather decoration showing specimens of all kinds of shop work were in evidence. THE ELECTRICAL DEVISION installed a float rigged with pole at either end with boys near the top, dress with timbers and safety belts, carring power wires to the regulation of currents. A steam engine an electric motor and switch board were in operation, a great number of electrically powered as the float passé. THE MACHINE DRIVER foot was remarkable in that all the machinery on it was built by the students, who operated a drill piston to drive the machine, the drillers, Boys were hands-on, the students performing the drillers' duties. The decorations included a showing the course of industrial classes. A boat on a large wagon, with hose connections with the machinery float followed, furnishing the power for the operation of the engine. On the PRINTING float five boys were at work, setting type, imposing "forms," operating a printing press and a stapling machine, also blinding books. The float was trimmed with specimens of the work done by the students. The wheels were decorated with serpentine. - The BRICKMASON AND PLASTERING float carried six boys doing progressive work, building lers, turning arches, showing the three steps in plastering. Two finished arches were exhibited. The side of the float were built to represent the primitive level. A transit was in place showing modern methods. ARCHITECTURAL DRAWING was represented by a float carrying two students working at a table, drawing. The float, in general outline, represented a Gothic structure. Drawings were exhibited showing the five orders of Architecture, and specimens of detail and design work as done by the students. The Experiment STATION and the Experiment Teaching Division floats, represented cotton ginning, and bailing, cotton breeding, and analysis of soil and plants; showing how worn out soils are reclaimed. This was illustrated with sections of wash land, filled land, terracing and other operation incident to building up soils, also sections showing crops for three years rotation and soil inoculation. One Hambletonian stallion, 5 high grade brood mares accompanied by their colts, a pedigree Jack and five high grade mule colt were in the parade to represent the Livé Stock Division. The DAIRY DIVISION was represented by 50 head of cows including Jerseys, Guernseys and Holsteins, accompanied by their sires, 25 yearlings and calves. On the CREAMERY float were three girls and two boys making butter by the old and new method, running a separator, bottling milk and testing same for butter fat and acidity. An elaborate exhibit of butter cheese, etc., made by the students was shown. The float representing the TRUCK GARDEN DIVISION was loaded with turpils, collards, lettuce, pumpkins, squash, butter beans, snap beans, peas, carrot, cabbage, onions, okra and other vegetables, raised in the Institute Truck Garden; Boys were showing the methods employed in preparing and-selecting for market. The NURSE TRAINING float represented the interior of a sick room. Girl nurses were in charge of a "fever patient" giving him a sponge bath, taking his temperature, administering nourishments and stimulants and recording symptoms on a chart as is done in the Institute Hospital wards. Another division on the same float showed a young woman and a young man in an operating room, preparing surgical supplies. Decorations were white with the Red Cross also evergreens. The Physics float carried two tables with students demonstrating the properties of the permanent bar-magnet and constructing the electric call bell connections; they were also showing mechanical experiments—the relation of mass, density and volume. Two students were operating a telephone line, and two sending telegraph messages to each other. Mechanical and electric apparati were displayed. The History float showed a class room with girls and boys reciting. By the time the FLOAT reached the President's stand the recitation was on the recent Peace Conference at Portsmouth. Students were costumed in the dress of different periods of the Nations' history. The LIBRARY float represented a corner in the Carnegie Library. Students were looking up references in connection with their trade and academic classes, reading papers and magazines and drawing books from the Library. A class in United States History was looking up reference matter found in President Roosevelt's "Winning of the West." The book shelves were filled with books classified under History, Natural Science, Useful Arts and Domestic Science, and Literature. The float representing CHEMISTRY AND DOMESTIC SCIENCE carried a group testing the local water supply for portable and laundry purposes; samples collected from all wells, taps, reservoirs, branches and every known source of supply. Students were testing samples for such foreign substances as lead, phosphates and chlorides, and suspicious amounts of iron and organic matter. Waters were examined for hardness, degree of hardness and number of grains to the gallon. How hard water wastes soap; how to soften by boiling and how by chemicals was illustrated; also how to clarify muddy water by filtration, and by chemicals. The TRAINING SCHOOL GARDENING float showed children working in a plot already WE WANT YOUR BUSINESS in this city and we offer VALUES from this Large and ELEGANT ASSORTMENT which cannot be duplicated elsewhere. Our LIBERAL TERMS of EASY WEEKLY or MONTHLY PAYMENTS places the possession of beautifully furnished homes within reach of all. Rocking Chair Draperies, in this city and we Our LIBERAL TEN possess COME and SEE Walke COPYRIGHT set out with cabbage, strawberries and onions ; one part represented the soil prepared and the children setting out -plants, and still another section showed the children preparing the soil. This float was decorated with green vines and foliage, and had a number of small children on it The AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT, more than any other, was very largely represented in the parade. The Tuskegee Institute recognizes the fact that 85 per cent of the Negroes of the south are engaged in some form of agriculture and places great stress upon agricultural training. As evidence of this fact it may be stated that the school owns between 2,300 and 2,400 acres of land of which about 1,200 acres are under cultivation. The main crops cultivated are corn for ensilage and setover, oats, native hay cow peace, vetch, sugar cane and teosilte. Other crops; of course are raised on a smaller scale for experimental and instruction purposes, including several varieties of cotton in the Experiment Station. Over 500 tons of silage have been stored away in four large silos for winter feeding and the forage is to be fed as roughage. The farm has over 700 acres in sweet potatoes. The large truck garden of 98 acres raises vegetables not only to supply the school's needs but to send out daily two wagons to supply the teachers and families living near the school and to citizens in the town of Tuskegee. The dairy also sends out two wagons through the same communities morning and afternoon, to supply milk and butter. There is an orchard of 7,000 trees and a canning factory operated by the students in which they put up much of the fruit raised for use in the boarding department of the Institute. In the dairy herd, cows, yearling and calves total 430; the beef raising herd 305; horses, mules, etc., 133; hogs number 1,000, and the chicken, geese and ducks make up a total of 809 fowls. After the parade had passed and the students and teachers and the crowd were repairing to the Chapel, the Presidential Party was driven hurriedly about the grounds so as to afford some idea as to the extent and scope of same; then to the Chapel, where the students sang a number of plantation melodies. The singing was led by the institute choir composed of 150 voices and heartily joined in by the whole student and teaching body. The President is a great lower of the old-plantation melodies and Tuskegee Institute has made a great feature of preserving these old time folk-songs. Principal Booker T. Washington presented the President in the following words: "This is a great day for Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, too great, to be described by words. We have gathered to hear but one voice; to see] but one face. "In presenting our guest to the students, teachers, and citizens, I must not omit to express the gratitude felt by the people of the Tuskegee Institute, and by the people of both races in this section of Alabama, for the honor, which has been conferred upon them. "That the Chief Magistrate of our beloved Republic of 80,000,000 people deemed it good and wise to include Tuskegee Institute in his trip through the South, and spend a few hours in seeing the work we are doing here, brings to the heart of every man and woman of our race in this country, a degree of encouragement and inspiration which it is impossible for any American citizen, not of our race, fully to appreciate. "My friends, without further words of mine I have the pleasure and the honor of presenting to you the President of the United States. Hon. Theodore Roosevelt." The address of the president was given in a forceful, masterly and eloquent manner. He gave advice to the colored citizens and reminded the white ones of their duty to the colored man. The President's address was entirely along the line of the "Golden Rule." Space this week forbids the insertion of this master piece. The inspiration of the occasion was great, and the sight in the spacious Chapel with thousands of eager faces and the display of the hundreds of small American-flags begs description. All of the main buildings of the school were decorated with the American and Institute, colors—the latter, 'gold gold and Carpets, Rugs, Mattings, Linoleums, crimson—and various native grasses and vines interwined. The decorations were a departure from the usual thing of the sort and attracted much attention. A series of arches, decorated with agricultural products raised by the school, studded the way beginning at the main entrance of the grounds to the chapel and under the arches the President and parade passed. From the reviewing stand the President was able to see five hundred yards away, the chapel where he afterwards spoke and the extensive sloping lawn in front of the building into which the Floriculture students had planted a bed of Coleus plants shaped to form a huge anchor and above it the name "Roosevelt" in different shades of the same plant. Cheated Death. Kidney trouble often ends fatally, but by choosing the right medicine, E. H. Wolfe, of Bear Grove, Iowa, cheated death. He says: "Two years ago I had Kidney Trouble, which caused me great pain, suffering and anxiety, but I took Electric Bitters, which effected a complete cure. I have also found them of great benefit in general debility and nerve trouble, and keep them constantly on hand, since, as I find they have no equal." Any druggist, guarantees them at 60.

I KNEW where she was, to our ucle's; 'n' I want straight there. "She was white's a sheet when she come into the writer's office." parlor where I stood waltin'. She seemed to waver when she got inside the door. I took a step toward her n' put out my arms. She looked at me, then she come to me, an' I leid her. "She didn't make a sound for a long time. As for me, I couldn't speak. I was jested as sure then's I was afterward that I never should hold her in my arms ag'in. The first thing I said, finally, was: "I was with Tom Merle in his new house last night." "She gave a little cry 'n' clung closer. "Did he tell you? she airst. "He didn't tell me anything much; only he's rich now." "Why didn't he tell? Why didn't he tell? she cried out. "I wouldn't help her. I felt cruel. I wanted to kill her. After a long time she lifted her head from my breast 'n' stepped away from me. "I jest stood with my arms hangin' down 'n' looked at her. It's terrible to love anybody's I loved her then. "I'm goin' to marry Tom Merle," she said. "Because you want to be rich?" "Yes." My throat was so dry I had to be silent. I wasn't going to plead with her. I couldn't do it. "As soon as my voice came I said 'I guessed I better be goin''. I turned. I stumbled onto my hat that I'd dropped on the floor. I stooped to pick it up. Somehow I was blind 'n' couldn't seem to see the door. When I did get my hand on the latch she said: "Alf." "She was standing right there, with her eyes on me. "‘Shall you marry Merle?’ I arst. ‘She twisted her hands together. She opened her lips; but I didn’t hear what she said. "‘Shall you marry Merle?’ I said loud. "She nodded her head. "I opened the door 'n' I got into the 'street some way. . ." "All the way home I had a powerful wish to kill Merle 'n Ruth, 'n then myself. I'd struggle them, 'n then put a bullet into my head. I went over 'n over it. I was so took up with my thoughts I didn't git out at the right deepo, but was carried past, 'n had to walk ten miles home. When I did git home I went right to bed 'n slept like a fog all night. "Next day I couldn't work hard nough. I was thankful to God that I stopped thinkin' of stranglin' them two. "But at the end of a month when Merle 'n Ruth was married 'n went to live in their new house, another idea come into my mind, 'n I couldn't git it out. "You see it's for this idea I begun to tell you this, 'n I didn't mean to make a love story out of it, but it kind of seems as if I had; 'n I hate love stories. "I used to drive by the Stearns house, as we called it, twice every day. Sometimes I seen Ruth in the yard with Tom, but she never looked round, though Tom used to swing his cap 'n' call out: "Hullo, Alf" a "You see he didn't know I had any serious feelin' bout Ruth. I don't think nobody did, but Ruth's mother. I never reckoned even her father knew. "It was tough when I'd see um there's I went by. "One time when Tom come out to send a package by express, when he handed up the bundle, something come into my mind so strong I'd like to have topped off my seat. "I spose I'd borne things 'bout's long I could. "I would burn down that great Stearns house. I wouldn't see it no longer. I didn't care who burned in it. I would do it. "You can't think what a queer kind of a joy that thought gave me. P'raps you'll say 'twas a hellish joy; p'raps was Anyway I didn't think of anything else all the way over 'n' back with the stage. It was jest's if I had found a prize, or something like that. never thought about its being wicked a crime or anything of that kind. was swallowed up in the idea. I don't know I was a bad kind of man. everybody'd have said there, wan't aeller feller in the whole town. I ever once thought, of resisting the aptation; it didn't seem a thing to est. I didn't want to set anyone. I need to be by myself 'n' to think it was a joy to plan over 'n' over 'd' do it. I thought of a good ways; but I was goin' to take 'n' not decide on any one way off.

"The days before the 11th went like a flash, I tell you. When the time come I didn't know any better way, than to git into the suller with some kindlin's and kerosene. I knew how, for I had examined. "The wind begun to rise when the sun set. That was good for me. I was in high spirits at supper. I wondered why mother kep looking at me so. She sald my eyes didn't 'pear jest right to her. I laughed to myself when I went upstairs to bed that night, at 0 o'clock. "How the wind whistled about 'n' how the pine trees lashed theirselves! I thought I'd have a nap 'fore 12. I had put the kindlin's 'n' the oil all ready in the woodhouse 'g'lust I needed 'em. "With such a plan in my head, would you thought I could slept? I didn't, at first. I lay in my bed with the clo'es drawn up over my ears, thinkin', thinkin'. I don't know how 'twas, but my plan seemed to satisfy me. I kep thinkin' how Tom Merle looked when I seen him last. I wondered if he'd be burned to death, he'his wife. What if he sh'd die, 'n' I should save his wife? But I didn't reckon on that. The wind kep' right on, shriekin' like a thousand wild beasts. My bed kinder rocked, 'n' it rocked me to sleep. Anyway I went to sleep thinkin' jest how I creep out, so's not to rouse mother. "You see, I was dead tired. I'd worked like a tiger for the last two or three days, 'n' hadn't sleep any. Well, I didn't wake up till there was a strip of sunlight lying right across my bed. The sun had up a half-hour. I couldn't make it out." I was stoopled. I threw my feet out bed 'n' sat starin'. How could I have slep so? "There wan't a bit of wind stirrin' now. I hurried on my cloes, 'n' the first thing I did was to go out to the shed. My kindlin' 'n' my oil-can wa'n't there. "I stood lookin' at the place where they'd been. There were marks of muddy feet, 'bout half dry, 'n there was my rubber boots, splashed 'n' half dry, too. It had ben rainy lately, 'n' the roads was full of puddles. "I was pretty down. I didn't feel's if I was sure of anything. "I was leaunin' up against the wall in the woodhouse when I seen mother go 'cross the road to 'our neighbor's for the milk. "When she come back she looked kinder excited. Seen! me she stopped at the open door with her tin quart in her hand. "I didn't know's you was up,' she said. 'Did you hear nothin' in the night? "Nothin' but wind,' I answered. "That's what I told um,' she said; 'it blew so we couldn't hear the bells if they'd ben under our noses." "It always took so long for her to come to the point. "Bells? I said. I wanted to shake her. I begun to tremble. "Yes; they rung both the meetin' house bolts; but, land, what could they do? Awful fire! The Stearns house burnt to the ground in no time in such a gale. The work of a incend'ry, they say. I'm goin' to get breakfast right away. Don't see to your hosses till you've et." "She went in, 'n' I heard her settin' the table. I didn't move till she called me; 'n' then, insidl of goin' into the kitchen, I went up-stairs 'n' sat down on my bed. I couldn't seem to sense things. The Stearns house burnt down! And I didn't do it! Who done it? Yes, who'd got ahead of me 'n' done it? I kep' tryin' to think clear, but I couldn't. "I heard mother call me again; then she come up the stairs. I was so tried with her I could have pushed her 'way; but I didn't stir. "All,' she said, 'the coffee's gittin' cold. I 'spose you're struck all of a heap. So be I. They say there wasn't nobody killed; but Tom Merle resked his life, 'n got awful hurt gittin' his wife out. Come, the coffee' be spilled.' "She 'would stan' there till I started. 'n I had to go down 'n drink the coffee. But I couldn't eat, 'n I couldn't even try. Mother kep' sayin' twouldn't help noth' not to eat; 'n she didn't wonder I was struck of a heap. "Jest as I couldn't bear it no longer, 'n had shoved back from the table, the outside door was opened, 'n Bill Gurney come in. "He looked at me as if he was surprised to see me, somehow. Bill was the constable in our village; but I didn't think of that then. "Mother offered him a cup of coffee, but he said he was in a hurry, 'n they wanted me down there, noddin' toward the settlement. "I slipped on my coat 'n' was ready. Mother began to question-him 'bout the fire; but he couldn't stop to talk. "I thought 'twas mighty old he should put his hand through my arm as we walked down the road, but I let him. I didn't speak nor he didn't, till Jest's we turned onto the main street. Then he looked at me, sighing, 'n' his voice shook a little as he said: "I never was so sorry to do a thing in my life, Alt. I don't understand it. I don't understand it. I hope something'll come out. I can't believe it." "I told him I didn't know what he was talkin' about. "He shut his mouth tight and didn't say anything more. "You better believe I grew more 'n more dazed. "I saw a crowd round where the Stearns house was. "Some of the men left 'n' come along with us, all of um lookin' curiously at me. "What do you think it all meant? "They'd took me up for settin' that fire, 'n me asleep in my bird all night. "I felt exactly as if I'd done it. But I hadn't, you see; had I? 'Fore God, I can't to this day git to the rights of that question. "They'd found my tin can 'bout a rod from the fire. It had my name scratched on to it so's the grocer'd know it when he took it to fill it. "Worse'n that; I was seen with a bundle of wood 'n that can goln' into the back gate of the Stearns place 'bout an hour 'fore the blaze come out. 'N I was seen runnin' across the fields toward home. It was moonlight by 12 o'clock, 'n clear's a bell. "I was in my shirt-sleeves 'n' trowslis, 'n' no hat, when I was seen last. My hat was found near the house that was burnt. It was my hat, no mistake. "I remembered the half dry mud on my boots that were kicked off in the woodhouse. "What do you make of it? It was a clear case enough. I hadn't no de- fense. How could I have? I got a lawyer jest to please mother—she was 'bout wild. But my lawyer couldn't do much. He tried to git up an enten- uatin' plea that I did it in my sleep; but folks wa'n't goln' to swaller no such stuff' as that. How could I blame 'em? I didn't. "It was proved as plain as day 'that I set fire to the Stearns house, an' I had to go to prison. "I never seen my mother after I was sentenced. She had a fever 'n' died. That took hold of me for a spell; but it wore off some. "You see I never said a word to anyone how I'd planned to burn that house till years after. Do you think I did it? You do? Well, I expect I did; but it was unbeknownst to me. "A minister told me the gullot was on my soul when I planned it. I dunno 'bout that. But let it go. We can't know the rights of it. "I must tell you what happened after I'd ben in prison a year. "I was told to go into the visitors' room as some one wanted to see me. I didn't guess who it was. There sat a woman with a thick veil on. If her veil had been twice as thick I should have known the turn of her shoulders. The sight made me faint. I leaned up against the wall. I didn't try to speak. She didn't speak either, for several minutes. She got, up from her chair 'n stood holdin' onto the back of it. "Take off your veil," I said; 'n' she did. "God! what makes a man love so? There she was very white, 'n lookin' at me with them eyes that killed me. "I couldn't help comin', she said. 'It ben the one thing I've wanted to do since you've ben here. I wanted to tell you I knew you done it, 'n I didn't blame you. Yes, you done it; 'n I forgive you." "Her eyes key on me so's I couldn't be rough's I'd meant to be. "You forgive me? I said. 'That's a queer thing for you to come to me to say." "Yes,' she repeated, 'I should forgive you anything you did. 'Tain't likely I should expect you to forgive me. I can't ask it-I can't ask it." "Her voice began to quiver. She stopped. She turned her face away. "I stood up there like a stake stuck in the ground. All I could do was to look at her. I didn't reckon I should ever set eyes on her agn'. And I ain't." "What was the use of tellin' her that I didn't do that deed; beastways that I didn't know I done it? I knew in my heart I had planned and meant it. "After a while she said she must go, 'n' would I say good-bye? She held out her hand. I took it. I didn't speak. My throat was-shut up. It was all I could do to breathe. "She went out of the room. I heard something fall in the passage. I heard somebody say, 'She's fainted.' I was fallen back to my cell. "That was a long while ago. I think of it a good deal, 'n' I'm powerful sorry for the feller that went through it. As I set here by this popple swamp it don't rightly seem as if 'twas me. "Last year when I was pickin' berries on the upland yonder, I come upon a young gal. She didn't see me at first/ but I seen her 'n' I had a instant of thinkin' 'twas Ruth, just as she was years ago. It was Ruth's daughter. It was the gal you love, young man. She tried hard not to seem frightened when she seen me. "How should she know that her mother's child needn't have no fear of me?"-Independent. Lack of Sardines This Year. There will be a lack of sardines this year for the consumers, and probably a famine among the fisher-folk in Brittany. Six hundred fishing boats, which were expected to return to Douarnenez full of sardines, came back empty, with the exception of about fifty. These fifty vessels had only small hauls in their holds. The balt used by the fishermen, which comes from Newfoundland, is also very dear in Brittany, costing 47f., or nearly £2, the ton. Each boat requires a ton of bait daily. It is now thought that the present sardine fishing season will be the worst ever experienced by the fishermen of Brittany-London Telegraph. Oil persons who enjoy snake stalking* , said Curator I. In Dimars* , who has con- ducted expeditions for snakes on behalf of the Oil persons who enjoy snake stalking," said Curator H. In Dimars; who has conflicted expeditions for snakes on behalf of the New York Zoological Park, in the Bronx, "I can recommend certain parts of South Carolina above any other section in the United States. For example, a four-mile swamp near the little-town of Robertsville, in Hampton County, is a snake's paradise. Portions of the swamp are overgrown with huge rushes and portions with cinnabrake dovetailing into pine swamps; the trees running forty feet up to the first limb and hang thick with green moss. Trees, ground and water are alive with reptiles. "Shake hunting is as fascinating as deer stalking, especially to a man who finds some meaning in every band on a pit viper's back. No moose was ever more ready to take alarm than are these slippery quarries, and to land a bagful of valuable snakes is a task that calls for adrotness mingled with a high quality of perseverance. "Night is the very best time for catching snakes, for it is then that the serpent tribe uncoll themselves and gilde about the swamp in perfect freedom. Obviously this sort of thing is not without danger, and after one trial of it, the snake hunter usually prefers daylight. In the moonlight a silver haze floats above the swamp, and it lies like a silvery sea. Within it, the pines are ghosts whose long beards sweep the pools, diamond-backed rat-ters rear their ugly heads, racers, moccasins and strange pink water snakes glide noiselessly, and alligators keep up their loud, uncanny bellowing and make the air heavy with their musky odor. "In daylight the hunter rides in mounted on a mule usually and clad in an armor of heavy brown duck, high top boots, and stout, flexible gloves. His weapons are a bamboo stick with a running noose of fine copper wire at the end, and a second cane furnished with a wire net. He always carries a revolver, too, if he is wise. "Across the mule's back is balanced a short cane stick, and from each end of the stick dangles a good-sized cotton bag. These bags are for the snakes. The mule sagaciously picks his way through the swamp along deer paths which wind in and out, where a single misstep would often tumble him and his rider into a pool swarming with alligators and water snakes. "A snake stalker, of course, attempts to take only the more valuable and strange species of serpents. When he catches the gleam of the right sort of a coat through the rushes, or spies a fine specimen dangling from a limb over his head, he halts and goes into action with his copper-wire noose and bamboo stick. If he can, he slips the noose over the snake's neck and draws it taut. Then he gets the thrashing, splitting reptile 'twixt thumb and forefinger around the neck and drops him into the cotton bag. Invariably in a crisis the hunter throws away copper wires and seizes a snake with his hands, grasping him well toward the head, so that he cannot twist around and thrust his fangs into his hands. "A rattlesnake is fairly easy to capture, because he is consumately brave, never runs from an enemy, and his warning rattle is unmistakable. Skirt the borders of a palmetto thicket any day and watch the wavering shadows of the foliage on the ground. Presently these shadows, if you watch sharply, seem to dart ahead in a straight line, with a brassy whirr coming from somewhere. The darting line is a diamond-backed rattler, whose curiously marked skin is in exact imitation of the palmetto shade. The diamond-backed is the most deadly of his tribe. In the west the varieties of rattlers there found inhabit barren rocky places and the tall grasses of the prairies. Just now the rattlesnake is hunted mercilessly, for he is valuable to the medicine man for his toxins and to the naturalist because out of eleven species in the United States, the habits and looks of not more than five are well known." Continuing, Mr. Ditmars said that some snakes are good actors, at least some snakes which he met in-South Carolina. One of those captured was a hog-nose snake. It was captured near a cottonfield, and it at once attempted to deceive its captor by pretending it was dead. Then, if undisturbed, it would show how a live snake acted when he was not trying to fool anybody. In playing dead the snake actually rolled over on its back and returned to that position even if disturbed and placed on its sides or belly. Mr. Ditmars told a number of colored men near where it was captured that he would show them what wonderful control he had over snakes. He would first make several passes with his hands over the snake and it would roll on its back dead. Then he directed the spectators to walk away some distance from the snake and he would then collect vitality out of the air for the snake and the snake would come back to life. When the snake saw that no one was near, it turned on its belly and started to crawl away. The colored men were greatly impressed with the great power possessed by Mr. Ditmars over snakes. In journeying through South Carolina Mr. Dittmars visited a wild wilderness of cane growth, known as the Black Swamp, which seemed to be devoid of amphibious creatures that day. Mr. Dittmars and his companion, Mr. Snyder, who is connected with the reptile department of the New York Zoological Park, captured two snakes, and in the night while pondering over their poor luck, a large snake was seen crossing a stretch of white sand. It proved to be a specimen of the hand- somest of water snakes (Natrix raseata (drythroaster). They then went to the Savannah River, where the baysons were extensive and populous with animal life. On the hummocks bordering the low ground humorous specimens were observed. They found that the only sure way of capturing these creatures was with a net. On peering about for this species they came upon a rattlesnake, which measured over fire feet. While stepping on a log in a shallow stream in the low grounds their guide almost put his foot on a cottonmouth snake, which made a lightning-like dart at the guide's foot, but missed its aim and slid into the water. On this day they captured eleven cottonmouths. A peculiar fact regarding the feeding of these snakes was observed. In the swamps in which they were found, hundreds of thousands of fish had been destroyed by the evaporation of water. In consequence, no food was left for these fish-eating reptiles except their harmless relations, the water snakes. They gorged upon these, and in localities where moccasins were found common water snakes were rare indeed. One large moccasin disgorged a freshly swallowed snake immediately after capture. The dead snake and the cannibal were measured, and it was discovered that the moccasin was only a foot longer than the reptile composing his dinner, the water snake measuring a trifle more than three feet.-Forest and Stream. TOO MUCH FOR PURE THOUGHT. Man Under the Gallery Propounds an-Inquiry Which the Lecturef Cannot Answer. It was the peroration of the lecture upon "Bearings of Pure Thought Upon Material Phenomena," and the audience were spellbound, fearing to lose even a syllable of the speaker's lucubrations. He concluded, and the spell was dissolved. Then, as a cookney admirer expressed it, "hall were 'ushed in the entire 'all,' while the lecturer with a beaming and buoyant smile asked: "Are there any points upon which enlightenment is yet desired?-any application of these Endless Truths to the Material Plane?" A long figure in a Prince Albert and garnished with a necktie of long and arduous service, here revealed itself in a standing position far back under the gallery. "Well, sir?" the lecturer inquired with a widening of his already toosmiled smile. "I desire to propound an inquiry?" remarked the stranger. "Proceed, sir!" was the response of the lecturer as he leaned gracefully upon the ice water stand at his elbow. "I would be gratified to know why," the inquirer proceeded, "when one is especially desirous of preserving, a clean collar in an immaculately dry and starched erectness it invariably wilts and assumes the fabby and non-resistant consistency of a dampened rag, and—" "But," the lecturer interposed uneasily. "One moment," said he—and why, when a collar with a saw-edge is slowly severing with an awful laceration the head of the victim from the body, the same brand of starch has the resisting power of adamant, is non-hydroscopie, impermeable, and simulates the incisiveness of the circular saw? But the lecturer had fied. Even Pure Thought has its limitations—Puck. Raisin- Elk For Profit. Elk are successfully domesticated in the Eastern States. In fact, they are the only deer that can be easily reared in captivity in practically any climate. They will live without shelter, and can subsist on a hard diet of bark and twigs during the severe winter when the domestic animals would not survive. They are prolific, and their young thrive. All this raises a question of considerable economic importance. The Pilgrims when they landed on Plymouth Rock found elk at home in New England down to tidewater. Why not make use of the waste land of the East again; rehabilitate it with elk that can, if necessary, find sustenance winter and summer on the barren, pastures of abandoned farms, and thus create a new industry of raising elk for profit? According to Professor William T. Hornaday, who of all authorities in America could perhaps speak with the most weight on this subject, there is no doubt that an industry of raising elk in New England may be created, providing only that there is a market for elk venison at a higher price than beef—say fifty cents a pound retail—Country Life in America. An Exceptional Effect of Nagging. A young man was forced into teaching mathematics, against stronger inclinations and greater love for another science, because of a failure to pass an examination in arithmetic in early life. He was so badgered and taunted by his family that in sheer desperation he specialized in mathematics, and even achieved some distinction therein, although he is still reminded at times of his childish flasco. But not every young man has so much grit; most of the nagging critics' victims are too hurt, sore and discouraged to attempt further and bolder flights. The wings are clipped and rarely grow again. The Independent. The smile that is honest goes a long way toward securing forgiveness. "I don't see how you can make your fingers go, so fast," said the young man; order superintendent to the young woman stenographer as she stopped, to make an erasure. "It's quite easy to make your fingers go," said the stenographer pointedly. "You make mistakes, though." You make mistakes, though, I see. "I'm only human. If I never made mistakes I might qualify for your job." "But you're doing good work, on the whole," said the mail-order superintendent, patronizingly. "You'll get me all puffed up if you talk like that. Kind words can never die, can they? Scatter a few of them over the office boy. He'd appreciate them." "I didn't mean to offend you," said the young man. "You couldn't!" she retorted calmly, and resumed her letter. The mail order superintendent lingered until she had completed it. "I heard a joke the other day about a stenographer who married her boss," he said. "Before they were married he dictated to her, and after——" The stenographer rapped briskly on the bell of her machine with her pencil. "You're heard it, have you?" "Not for some years. Isn't much business in your department this morning, is there?" "Do you want me to go?" "It doesn't make much difference to me," said the stenographer. "If you didn't talk or get in my light, I wouldn't know that you were here." "Well, if you don't want me to go I guess I'll stay. I like to watch you." "No extra charge," said the stenographer. "I'm on exhibition from 9 till 5." "Where do you go for lunch?" "Sometimes to one place, but often go somewhere else for a change. Where do you get shaved?" "I shave myself." "Do you ever talk to yourself? If you don't you might go away somewhere and try it some time. I don't think you'd learn anything, but I'm sure you'd appreciate your conversation more than some other people do." "You're pretty sassy, aren't you?" "I'm just as cute as I can be, but I'm not sassy. Were you going to ask me to take lunch with you?" "I was thinking of it." "You've got another think coming. You'd better brace yourself for the strain. You're new to it." "Then you won't come?" "Would you order blue points?" "Sure." "Anything I wanted to order?" "Certainly." "And any place I wanted to go?" The mail order superintendent hesitated. "Where do you want to go?" he asked. "I'll see where my aunt wants to go," said the stenographer. "She's more particular than I am. You wouldn't mind if I invited some one else, would you?" "What do you want some one else for?" "To talk to me while you talk to auntie," replied the stenographer. "Besides, he wouldn't like it if I went without him." "I guess we'll call it off," said the mail order superintendent as he moved away—Chicago News. Aged Slaters Reuphited. Three sisters, the youngest of whom is over eighty years of age, celebrated in Chicago their reunion, after many years of separation. They are Mrs. Emiline Coon, eighty-six years old; Mrs. Eliza Jane Laurence, eighty-three years old, and Mrs. Elizabeth Boggs, eighty-one-years old. They are widows. Mrs. Coon lives, with her son, Rev. L. M. Coon, 520 West Sixty-first street, and Mrs. Laurence resides at 6550 Yale avenue. Mrs. Boggs lives in Lincoln, Neb. It is her visit to Chicago that has brought the sisters together. Their father, Thomas McGown, lived until ninety-two years old, and their mother lived until past eighty.—Chicago Tribune. His'n Turned Up. In Rome, it seems, they attach great importance to the antenuptial connections of a married woman, and in order that she may have no opportunity to sail under false colors, she is expected to write her maledine name beneath her married one on letters of invitation to Italian residents. An English woman in Rome, writing to an old friend who had just arrived, forgot to drop the Italian custom, and signed herself "Hamilton, nee Wilkins." This somewhat irritated her friend, who had known her in simpler days, and he signed his reply, "James Brown, nee 'etrouse." Lost Sword Regained: Colonel D. M. Ray, of Yates Centr just recovered his sword, which he los- at Chickamauga in the war. He thought it had been picked up by the Confederates. It seems that a Union soldier found it, and later lost it on battlefield near Mobile. It was picked up there by an Ohio soldier. Though a description of the sword given in a newspaper, Colonel Ray located it. It contained his name and regiment— Kansas City Journal.

Well, this time I was to make ¢ plain parachute leap without auy can- non-aet or trapeze work, and 1 meant to make a side leap, as I always do.

Instead of the breeze dowit the canon, which I had expected would carry me over the valley, I was in a directly opposite southwest wind, which was bowling me along very fast, right over the high rock walls of the ‘canon. I could see the black shadows lying along the sunlit slopes at their feet.

I was hurled against a smooth, bald slope of rock and then flung out, to turn round in the air with bump after bump agalust the rock wall. ‘This be- wiidering motion and my bruises near- ly took away my enses, and it was several minutes before I could realize that I had struck a portion of the canen Wall, on which the balloon had caught, and that my life was saved for the present. I struggled free from the tangled ropes and cloth and glanced down. Below me the rock fell In a perpendle- ular descent for at*least 1000-feet, and ‘at its base was a steep slope of sand, with massive boulders jutting out ‘Then the ground fell away to the sage- ‘bush carpeted valley and the river course, In two directions I saw the walls of the canon going down to the same Kind of a footing, but they were some distance back of me and behind the crag where the’ balloon hung. I had lodged on 2 narrow promontory. -AS soon as*I understood this I re- solved to crawl back to the main cliff and see what chances there were of scaling 1t, so I worked myself up by the wreckage until I was on top of the torn cloth, and there I saw a sight that made me sick with fear. I stond ou the very top of a grent pinnacie, of rock—one of those strange formations, so far as I knowy that are found only in our Western deserts. ‘There was no possible descent fiom it. Between me and the real wall of the canon thtre was a gulf of 300 or 400 fect wide and at least 600 feet in depth, where the shadow of the walls améde'a blue gloom. Its top was not sixty feet across, and was largely cov- ered by the wrecked balloon, which was flapping over the side and throw- lug fantastic shadows on the eastern wall that curved about me, ‘And how the wind did blow! It was this that made me do something. I crawled under a flapping part of the big cloth, for I was afraid that it would all be torn loose and sail down the gorge. When the onter edge of the cloth would blow up and tap I caught glimpses ofthe dim blue walls of the canon miles away, with yellow patches of sunlight here and there, and I had to shut my eyes, * . After what seemed hours I felt more, composed and crawled out to take an- other look. The copper sun was al- ready behind the nearest cliff, and the wind had then died quite away. I looked down the gulf aud at the walls, and then walked to the outer side of the plauncle, where the tower- ing rock had searedly a projection for its entire distance. The’ parachnte hung there, and without any fden in my mind I pulled it up and straight- ened it alon; the rock to see if it was injured. ‘Then, as I to0ked at the blue dusk of Green River Canon I thought, “Why not try to fix the parachute and drop into the gulf, and trust to luck to keep me from the wall and the: rocks below.” ‘Within 500 feet that parachute would open, if §t would open at all. A night on that peak in the-plercing cold would kill me, The next day would bring no rescue.

Testimony to Bravery of “Japonicas”, Mutiny Quelled by Brave American Viet JOB PRINTING? Writing Three Centuries Ago, Adventurer Tells of the Dis- regard for Life Shown by the Hardy Little Islanders. } In that Interesting book, “Purchas His Piigrimes,” is recorded the advens ture which befell John Davis and Sir Edward Michelboirne, who, little bet- ter tnan pirates themselves, met in 1605 with a Chinese junk full of pirati- cal “Japonlans,” whose own vessel had been cast away on Borneo. There were ninety men aboard this junk, “most of them in too gallant a habit for Saylers, and such an equalitie of bebaviour among them that they seem- ed all fellowes; yet among them there ‘was one that they called Capitaine, but gave him little respect.” A num- ber of them having been transferred to the ship while the junk’s cargo was being searched, they suddenly sal- lied out of (ve cabin at a given signal and while those in the junk killed br drove overboard "the Englishmen in charge those on the ship tried to take possession,of it. At thé first onset they killed Capt. Davis. “They pressed so fiercely to come to us as, wo receiving them on our (Uprising of Turbulent Russian Soldiers Quickly Ended—Cap- , tain the Right Man in the Right Place . Here PA story of a modern mutiny which was quelled by the heroic young American sea captain in the approved fashion, There arrived at Colombo, Ceylon, the other day, an American steamer, the Garonne, from the far east to Odessa, In Russla. The Gar- onne was carrying a large number of convalescent Russian soldiers and sail- ors and Russian workmen. Between Sihgapore and Colombo the Russlans, dissatisfied with thelr treatment, mut: infed and tried to seize the ship. The mutiny was quelled by Capt. Lowe; whom the Times of Ceylon describes as “a typical American—young, clean shaven and displaying,slgus of great strength, which, as the sequel shows, he was able to put to excellent use.” One of the Russian workmen was ring leader. Early in the trouble he was put in frons on the bridge. Capt. Lowe is quoted as saying: “When passing through the straits of Malacca I had a good deal of respons!- bility upon my shoulders and could take hut little sleep. In fact, on June Pikes, they would gather in our Pikes with thelr hands: to reach us with thelr swords. It was “ncere half an hour before we could stone them back into the Cabbf{n; in which time wo had killed three or four of thelr Lead- ers. After. they were in the Cabbix: they fought with us at the least foure houres before we could suppresse them, often fyring the Cabbin, bura-- ing the bedding and much other stuffe that was there. z “And had we not with two Dezmy- culverins, frpnr under the halfe-decke, beaten downe the bulke head and the pumpe of the ship, we could not have suppressed ‘them from burning the ship. The Ordnance belng charged. with Crossebarres, Bullets and Case- shot, and bent close to the bulke head, so violently marred therewith boords and splinters that {t left but one of them standing of two and twentle. » “Their legs/ arms and bodies were so torne, as it was strange to see how the shot had massacred them. In all’ this conflict they never would desire thelr lives though they were hope- lesse to escape; such was the desper- ateness of these Japonians.” 21 did not so to my cabin until 12’ o’clock noon, when I intended to take a nap during the afternoon. I lay down on my settee, but had scarcely fallen into 2 doze when the first off cer tapped me on the shoulder and 2 awoke. ‘Did you give orders far that man (the ringleader) to be taken out of irons?’ he asked. ‘Certainly not,’ 5 replied. ‘Well, he’s out anyway.’ “I jumped up and made, my way tc the gangway leading from the bridge to'the deck. Below me I caw_a surge of riotous Russians, among whom was the scoundrel recently in _fetters. They rushed at me. I whipped out my revolver, and, after warning’ them, pulled the trigger, but {t- missed fire. The charge bad evidently got, damp. Seeing that this was no use I seized a rife and used the butt end as a blud- geon, with which I quickly cleared a space around me. The ringleader grap- pled with me. “After a hard struggle I got my ey under. He was dragged up to thi bridge ahd guarded by three of my officers, two of whom had Wincheste: rifle’, the mate boing arméd with couple of revolvers. Little dificult jwas experienced in quelling the di turbance after that.” : Messrs. G. R. Hendry and E. J. Carter, of Taylor's Creek, Ga., were in the city this week and called to see us. Mr. W. W. Williams, of 504 Congress street, west, is all smiles caused by the safe arrival, of a bouncing 14 pound Jr. Mother and son are doing well. Mrs. H. H. Moors, formerly of this city, who have been residing in Beaufort, S. C. for the past year, is in the city on visit to her daughter Mrs. W. Edw. Johnston. Miss Pearla Collins spent three days of last week in the city. Her relatives and friends were glad to see her. She returned to Olyo, Ga., Monday morning.

Parks, returned to the city on Wednesday night after a short vacation spent in New York, Philadelphia and Washington. The doctor looks improved by his trip, even if he did not see "Pittsburgh." Dr. Parks is one of our best liked professional men and all of his friends are loyal to him. A very pleasant time was had on last Monday evening, at Freeman's hall, Huntingdon street, west, the occasion being the installation of officers and celebration of the 19th anniversary of the Ladies Aid of Mt.

The meeting was called to order by chairman S. M. Mallard. Prayer was offered by M. Lee Gilmore and the roll of the various organizations and their representatives was called.

I wish to state to those that are interesting in the work that the gentlemen from Brotherhood and the Y. G. E are doing much for that great day. I wish to say that the gentlemen are still at work: Those organizations that they have not met as yet, we are seeking their meeting place and only wish that they will help us by putting notice in THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE. The next joint meeting will be held at Chatham hall Montgomery Street on first and third Friday evening in Nov. at 8:30 o'clock p. m. Christian Endeavor.

It goes without saying that one of the noblest undertakings ever started in our city is the formation of "Women's clubs". The propaganda of these clubs, should be fostered, encouraged and aided by every citizen of our city. Many at the Sunday Club last Sunday were suprised to see just what these clubs are doing, viz: talks and discussions concerning questions as to cooking; how to care for the body; the proper care for infants; best methods of sanitation; the problem of lighting and heating the home, etc., etc. Besides these very practical and useful discussions, the reports of the "Women's Clubs" showed that they had gone and are going into the very slums of the town and preach sanitation, the need and care of the body, and what a home should mean. They have succeeded, also, in causing many men to join the Sunday Club in its crusade against ignorance, crime and poor sanitation. Next Sunday, Prof. Work of the State College will deliver an address, which will, no doubt, be full of good things for those who attend. Come 4:30 p. m. Second Baptist Church. The services were well attended through out the day, last Sunday, and the collections were gratifying. Rev. N. H. Whitmire, a son of the church preached a strong sermon, at eleven o'clock, which was enjoyed by a large and appreciative congregation. At night the Men's Sunday Club held its meeting, and the speeches by the different speakers were up-lifting. On to-morrow Rev. D. W. Cannon of Darien, Ga. will preach at both, morning and evening services. Rev. Cannon is a graduate of Atlanta Baptist College, and comes recommended by Rev. W. G. Johnson, D. D. of Macon, Ga. Sunday school at 3:30 p. m. Friends are cordially invited. College Dots. The informal opening of the school this year was uneventful. The attendance at first though small on account of the yellow fever, has increased to its normal size (over 200 students being enrolled) and still they are coming. Prof. Lemon who is now filling the chair of mathematics has made a good impression and is a happy addition to the faculty of the Georgia State Industrial Colleges. Lumber is now being delivered at the college for the erection of a cottage to be occupied by Proctor Roston and his family. A course of lectures will be given this year by the teachers of the various departments; beginning November 3rd. Dates and subjects will be given in the next.

In Memoriam 27. 1904. MARK ANDERSON. One year ago the parting came, When our lost was heaven's gain, When thou answered the Master's call, "Come unto me and rest" White as snow thy winding sheet Shelters tree from head to feet. And the low mourn of the pine tree sighs O'er thy bed so lonely. Thy body findeth ample room. In its still and grassy tomb. The calm spot where thy body lies, Gladdens thy soul in Paradise. ESSIE D. ANDERSON, New York City. In loving remembrance of my dear husband who departed this life October 27. 1904. MARK ANDERSON. Only the folding of toil-worn hands On the still and lifeless breast, Freed at last, all struggling past, Sorrows and sweeping to the way side cast Then rest—thank God, sweet rest! Only the closing of weared eyes, Waveringly dim at their-best. No more tears—life's empty fears Vanish like mists as the dawning appears Then rest—thank God sweet rest. Only the cooling of a fevered brow, Where the life of misfortunes pressed, No more aches—while the sad hearts break Then'rest—thank God sweet rest! God knoweth best it is not meant That we should murmur at His will; 'Tis ours to suffer and be still Low lying at His feet, He knows best.. Our blinded eyes so dim with unshed tears Can see no light athwart the gloom, Till He shall bid the clouds arise. He knoweth the best and He will keep Though near or far His watch between; His tender care though all unseen. Shall slumber not, nor sleep. He knoweth best his love hath planned Each step that marks our onward way, Tis ours to trust Him—come what may Our times are in His hands. He knoweth best who loveth best: He leadeth us from day to day Tis ours to follow all the way And leave to Him the rest. Suffering Relieved. Suffering Believed.

Mrs. Emma Fielseran, 1412 Sixth Avenue, Seattle, Wash., Worthy Treasurer Sons of Temperance, writes: "I suffered over two years with three periods. My health was in a very good condition and I was anxious to find something to restore my health and strength. "I was very glad to try Perma and delighted that that was doing me good. I continued to work for me for two months and found my troubles removed. "I consider it a splendid medicine and shall never be without it, taking a dose occasionally when I feel run-down and tired. "I have thousands of testimonials which Do. Hartman has received from grateful, happy women who have been restored to health by his remedy. Perma. A Valuable Book. In the library of the palace of the Rajah of Ulwar, a city in India, there is a manuscript book called "The Gulistan," which is claimed to be the most valuable volume in India. The librarian insists that it is worth five hundred thousand rupees, which is equivalent to about a hundred and seventy thousand dollars, and declares that the actual cost of the gold used in illuminating it was more than fifty thousand dollars. It is a modern manuscript copy of a religious poem, made in 1848 by a German scribe at the order of the Maharajah Bani Singh. The miniatures and other pictures were painted by a native artist at Delhi, and the ornamental scroll work upon the margins of the pages and the initial letters were done by a resident of Ulwar. French Painter Hoarded Wealth. Concerning the late Jean Jacques Henner a curious legend was current in France. He was as fond of money as his, English colleague Turner, and his great poplularity enabled him to make $40,000 a year. Of this he evidently did not spend the twentieth part. According to popular belief, he was saving the rest for the purpose of some day buying back Alsace and Lorraine from Germany. He was an Alsatian, and after the war he established his fame by painting the heads of Alsatian girls, which had a large sale. De Soto looked for the secret of youth in a spring of gushing, life-giving waters, which he was sure he would find in the New World. Alchemists and sages (thousands of them), have spent their lives in quest for it, but it is only found by those happy people who can digest and assimilate the right food which keeps the physical body perfect: that peace and comfort are the sure results. A remarkable man of 94 says: "For many long years I suffered more or less with chronic costiveness and painful indigestion. This condition made life a great burden to me, as you may well imagine. "Two years ago I began to use Grape-Nuts as food, and am thankful that I did. It has been a blessing to me in every way. I first noticed that it had restored my digestion. This was a great gain, but was nothing to compare in importance with the fact that in a short time my bowels were restored to free and normal action. "The cure seemed to be complete; for two years I have had none of the old trouble. I use the Grape-Nuts food every morning for breakfast and frequently eat nothing else. The use has made me comfortable and happy, and although I will be 94 years old next fall, I have become strong and supply again, erect in figure and can walk with anybody and enjoy it."

Efforts to He Made to Avoid Monotoneous Disaster As a result of the experiments made some time ago on the cruiser Narcissus, the authorities have decided to moderate this system of cooking for the park and file of the navy. The admiralty have come to the conclusion that there has in the past been too much baked meat and potatoes, pot messes, and sea-pies in the bluejackets' bill of face, this monotony, being due to the ignorance of the amateur cooks who prepared the lower deck meals. On the Narcissus trained cooks' were set to prepare the food of some of the men, while that of others was cooked under the old system. A comparison was then made, and this was so overwhelmingly in favor of the trained cook that the admiralty have decided to greatly extend the scope of their experiments In future, bread-making is to form an important item in the instruction given in the schools that have been established for the purpose of training naval cooks, and all who pass as cooks will have to be competent bakers. This is rendered necessary by the fact that bakeries are now being fitted in our men-of-war, so that bread may always be obtainable for the crews instead of sea biscuits.—London Mell. Odd Way to Choose Pastor. A West Side congregation was called upon not long ago, to choose a new pastor. The last three ministers had been personae non gratae with most of the parishioners, and before selecting another the congregation did some pretty tall thinking: There was one woman of experience whose advice carried particular weight. Preacher after preacher was invited to the pulpit, for a trial sermon, and all, in the final analysis, were rejected by the female arbiter. At last there came along a possible incumbent who met with her approval. "The reason I am sure he will give satisfaction," she said, "is because he has the right kind of a wife for a minister. She allows him to rant around all he wants to at home, and doesn't sass back. I found out long ago that a man who hasn't that privilege at home works off his spleen elsewhere. A minister vents it on his congregation. That was why we couldn't stand the last preacher. This one will be all right. We won't hear a peep out of him." And upon that unique recommendation the congregation actually did give the man a call. According to last accounts both he and the parishioners were doing well. The wife has not been heard from.—New York Press. How's This? Wooster One Hundred Dollars Beward for anycase of Oatara that cannot be owed by hall's Oatarra Cura. Curtis & Co. Curtis & Co. Toledo, O.

BABY'S AWFUL ECZEMA Face Like Hair Beef—Thought She Would Lose Her Ear—Healed Without a Blemish—Mother Thanks Cuticure. "My little girl had eczema very bad when she was ten months old. I thought she would lose her right ear. It had turned black, and her face was like a piece of waw meat, and very sore. It would bleed when I washed her, and I had to keep cloths on i.d. day and night. There was not a clear oop. I began using Cuticle Soap and Ointment, completely healed, without scar or bleemish, which is more than I had hoped for. (Signed) Mrs. Rose Ether, 291 Eckford St., Brooklyn, N. Y." No Wonder She Didn't Care- The little girls were sitting on the front porch counting "shooting" stars. "We had something last night that you didn't have," taintingly remarked one of the older ones looking at ten-year-old Miss Muffet. "Bet you didn't. What did you have?" remarked Miss Muffet. "Claret sody," the tantalizer replied with a condescending smile. "That's nothing," Miss Muffet vouchsafed with supreme confidence, "I had a chocolate sundae and five cents worth of candy, and I ate all the candy myself." "And when we came home," the older one continued, "we had some icecream made in our own freezer." Miss Muffet paused a moment to think. Then she added with calm resignation. "Well, I don't care. I had the stummick ache anyway." Age and Brain Work. The belief of Sir James Crichton-Browne that brainworkers achieve their best work in later middle age is easily confirmed by glancing at the career of a few of the grand old men who are still with us, many of whom are as busy as in their younger days. Lord Roberts at 73 is still worth £5,000 a year to the nation as one of our imperial defenders, Lord Kelvin at 81 may startle us with further generalizations on the mysteries of science, Sir William Huggins at the same age still explores interstellar spaces; while the activity of the octogonarian, duke of Rutland and Lord Womyns is as effective as ever in preserving the privileges of our old nobility—London Chronicle.

Diemer, M.D., Manufacturer, Springfield, Mo. A nervous, irritable mother, often on the verge of hysteria, is unfit to care for children; it ruins a child's disposition and resists upon herself. The trouble between children and their mothers too often is due to the fact that the mother has some female weakness, and she is entirely unfit to bear the strain upon her nerves that governing children involves; it is impossible for her to do anything calmly. The fills of women act like a firebrand upon the nerves, consequently nineteeths of the nervous prostration, nervous despondency, "the blues," sleeplessness, and nervous irritability of women arise from some derangement of the female organism. Do you experience fits of depression with restlessness, alternating with extreme irritability? Are your spirits easily affected, so that one minute you laugh, and the next minute you feel like crying? Do you feel something like a ball rising in your throat and threatening to choke you; all the senses perverted, morbidly sensitive to light and sound; pain in the ovaries, and especially between the shoulders; bearing down pains; nervous dyspepsia, and almost continually cross and snappy? If so, your nerves are in a shattered condition, and you are threatened with nervous prostration. Proof is monumental that nothing in the world is better for nervous prostration than Lydia E.

Brown, Vice-President of the Mothers' Club, 21 Coe at Terrace, Hot Springs, Ark., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "I dragged through nine years of miserable existence, worn out with pain and nervousness, until it some day became a statement of a woman troubled as I was, and the wonderful results she derived from Lydia E.

I was in love with her, and fell in love with me over again." Women should remember that Lydia E.
