ESTIMATE BARRED No New Figures on Cotton Crop Say Congressmen. Resolution in House Calling For Another Count In January is Overwhelmingly Defeated. A. Washington special says: After an interesting session, lasting nearly three hours, the house committee on agriculture Tuesday afternoon decided to table the resolution offered by Representative Lovering of Massachusetts, calling for a new estimate on the cotton crop. It is said that the action against him was unanimous. The author of the resolution was the only one who spoke in favor of it. He thought the estimates should never be made earlier than January 1, which was nearer the close of the ginning season, and permitted the collection of more nearly accurate data. Of the six factors used by the bureau of statistics in making up its estimates, only one was a known quantity, he declared; the others were guesses or averages of guesses, "subject to the whims and environments of the thousands of agents. He gave four reasons for wishing a new report. They were the discrepancy between the department's estimate and the census bureau's gin reports, the "incongruity" of the December yield figures as compared with the October condition figures, the alleged fact that ginning is not nearly as far advanced as in previous years, and the invariable tendency of the department of agriculture to underestimate the average underestimate for the past ten years, being 778,4000 bales, or 7.6 per cent. Representatives Burleson of Texas, Webb of North Carolina and Clayton of Alabama opposed the resolution. The house at Tuesday's session continued debating, under the guise of referring the message of the president to committees, topics of interest, local or national. The subject of the federal control of insurance was the main feature, and nearly all speakers began their remarks with reference to it. The day was passed without excitement, and ended with an amusing debate on the question of appointing a janitor at $60 a month to the reception on the minority side of the chamber. The minority refused the offer of the majority in this matter, and with their aid the janitor was rejected. Mr. Brantley of Georgia took the oath as a member, after which Mr. Richardson of Alabama discussed quarantine regulations. As a result of the yellow fever epidemic in the south during the past season, Mr. Richardson said a great clamor for federal control of quarantine was now being made: While no man was more anxious to banish that dread disease than himself, he would rather fight yellow fever for the ages to come, than sacrifice one fundamental principle of his state in its domestic and local control. He saw no violation of state rights in federal quarantine to prevent disease from foreign countries or from one state to another. Commenting on the president's message, Mr. Watkins of Louisiana said: "The president has shown that he possesses the conviction of a Bryan, the firmness of Andrew Jackson; the popularity of a Witte and the patriotism of the Japanese." Mr. Watkins was making his first speech in the house, and said it was the function of a "kid" to "butt-in." Mr. Johnson of South Carolina commurance. "It shows that the Amerisurance. "It shows that the American people are still honest and it shows what honest men feel toward the disclosures of corruption which have been made." FARMERS IN FATAL FIGHT. Jonesboro, Ga., Men Have Personal Difficulty and One is Killed. In a personal difficulty between Ben Hill Dorsey and L. T. Milner, both prominent farmers of Jonesboro, Ga., Mr. Dorsey was shot, and died from the effects of the wound. Mr. Dorsey, who was about 50 years old, was the brother of Judge R. T. Dorsey, a member of the Atlanta bar. Immediately after the shooting Mr. Milner surrendered. He claims that the shooting was done in self-defense. WHELMED BY SLEET. Sections, of Virginia and North Carolina Almost Totally Isolated by Visit of Ice Monarch. Richmond, Va., has been, in a heavy coating of ice since Friday, and telegraph and telephone wires are failing all over the city. Every policeman in the city and every fireman, including the regular reserves and call men are on duty. The fire alarm system is a wreck, except in the business section of the city, where the wires are underground. Richmond is almost wholly cut off from telegraph and telephone communication with the north and south. Except for a single wire to Danville and another to Washington, Lynchburg was also cut off by telegraphic communication with the north and south on account of a sleet storm in the city, were put to work. The 200 linemen at work on a new system restored the circuits. Many of them went to Greensboro, N. C., where the worst of the storm appears to have ben experienced. The sleet storm experienced in the section around Danville was the most disastrous in years, entailing upon the telephone and telegraph companies damages of thousands of dollars. Danville was without any communication to any points south. Greensboro Isolated. Practically isolated from the outside world, Grensboro, N. C., has been in the grip of one of the worst sleet storms it has experienced for years. Telegraphic and telephonic communication was cut off for some time, due to broken wires and falling poles. Inestimable damage was done to trees and foliage crushed beneath the weight of icicles. Street car service was seriously hampered and a general discomfiture ensued. LINEVITCH THROWS UP JOB. Mutinous Troops Give Head of Man- churan Army Lots of Trouble. churchan Army Lots of Trouble. A cable to the New York World dated at St. Petersburg, December 14, says: "I cannot combat the wholesale spread of revolutionary movement in the army, already more than half mutinous." General Linevitch telegraphed from Manchuria. "The reserves demand to be sent home immediately and refuse to take paper money. Telegraph instructions. Urgent." SECOND VICTIM OF HASTY.

BLOODY RIOTS IN RIGA In Collisions Between Workmen and Troops Machine Guns Are Used. Latest advices from Russia state that it seems to be beyond question that bloody collisions have occurred between troops and the united peasantry and workmen in the streets of Riga during which machine guns were used. The situation is most serious in the country, which is practically abandoned to the revolutionary bands, owing to concentration of the troops in cities and towns. ASKING CLEMENGY Appeal Made to Save Necks of Slayers of Carters. NEGRO MOST DESERVING Saved the Life of Mrs. Carter by Knockling Up Gun - Elder Rawlings Makes Another Sensational Statement. The attorneys who represented Alk Moore in his trial at Valdosta, Ga., last summer for complicity in the murder of the Carter children are interesting themselves in an endeavor to have his sentence commuted to life imprisonment instead of being hanged. There appears to be a strong sentiment among the people of the county and section in the negro's behalf. It is contended that if he had not freely confessed his part in the tragedy that it would have been impossible to have convicted his conspirators, J. G. Rawlings and his sons, or to have ever learned the truth of the crime. Moore has claimed, and it was not disproven, that he saved the life of Mrs. Carter by knocking up the gun as Jesse Rawlings leveled the weapon to shoot her and that he did not kill or attempt to kill either of the children, having become frightened and run away soon after the children were shot. Pettitions are now being circulated in various parts of the county asking the prison commission to commute the sentence. Pettitions are also being numerously signed asking a commutation of the sentences of the Rawling boys. Very few people want the boys, hanged, mainly on account of their youth and of the general belief that they were dominated by their father in the commission of the crime with which they are charged. The elder Rawilings issued a statement Friday in which he vigorously denied that he had ever said that he wanted his boys to hang with him, as has been so generally reported. He contends that his boys are innocent, but knowing the influences which would be thrown around them, and the life they would have to live as convicts, he feels that he would rather see them dead than to know they had to go to the penitentiary for life. He says that his wife and daughters discovered that he had hired Alf Moore before his sons knew anything about the contemplated crime, and that his daughter Lella went into her brother Milton's room after he had gone to bed on the night of the tragedy and told the boy the first he knew of it. DEPUTIES RUN GAUNTLET. South Carolina Officers Have Strenuous Time Saving Negro from Mob. After running the gauntlet of an armed and determined mob, Deputies Reuben Jacobs and E. E. Morris of Barnwell, S. C., reached Savannah, Ga., Friday from Barnwell county, with John Sims, a colored prisoner, who had been shot through the body. Sims was being carried to Augusta and thence to Columbia. The negro was arrested at Blackville, Friday morning, for turkey stealing and for throwing bricks at a Mrs. Bussse. When Mrs. Bussse discovered Sims trying to catch the turkeys he commenced cursing her and throwing stones at her and she sought safety by crawling under a house. Arthur Dowett overtook the negro, and when the latter showed fight Dowett shot him through the right side. The negro's wound was dressed and he was placed aboard the train for Barnwell. An excited mob was in waiting and Sheriff Creech and several deputies were having trouble in keeping them back. As the train slowed up, Sherif Creech jumped aboard and held the mob at bay until the doors to the car in which-the prisoner was confined was locked. Inside-the car were several deputies with double-barreled shotguns. The throttle was opened wide and the train sped out of Barnwell with several members of the mob still clinging to the platform. Some of these stayed on the train until the next stop. Confirmations by the Senate. The senate in executive session Friday confirmed the following Florida nominations: Collectors of Customs—George A. Allen at Key West, John E. Stillman at Pensacola; Tip Warren at Apalachicola; Matthew B. McFarlane at Tampa. NOW WHITE TERROR Russia Must Flight Peasantry as Well as Anarchists. Empire's Poor Ready to Join Fortunes With the "Reds" in Attempt to Throw Off Oppression's Latest advices from St. Petersburg state that a shudder of horror has convulsed Russia. The government claims it has given battle only to the "red" revolutionists, but the populace generally believes that "white terror" has returned. Already the leaders of the proletariat organization, who escaped capture Saturday night at the Economic Society, and even men of the rank of Professor Milukoff, are in hiding from the police, who are hunting them down. The government evidently anticipates a battle royal and has made its dispositions accordingly. It fully understands that the proletariat will give blow for blow in answer to the wholesale orcres. The workmen's council and the League of Leagues Saturday night issued a declaration of a general strike to begin immediately. As most of the provincial authorities are reactionary officials of the old regime, the advantage they will take of such power to terrorize the populace can be easily imagined, they being in position to become petty tyrants, and wage war each in his own particular fashion against the revolutionists. Martial Law Ukase Issued. An imperial ukase, issued by the czar Sunday empowers all governors and municipal authorities in the event of railway, postal or telegraph communication being interfered with to proclaim martial law. Under the ukase, military commanders will automatically become governors general. Martial law may be ended only by order of the ministers of the interior at St. Petersburg. The provisions already made to enforce compliance with the communication remain in force. The government has issued a communication stating that it considers the demands and complaints of the railway employees to a large extent justified, and the minister of ways and communications is therefore drafting measurer for the amelioration for these condition of the service. A report that Count Witte has resigned is in circulation in St. Petersburg, but it is false. It may, however, become true at any moment, as General Count Alexis Ignatelg is being held in reserve. A close friend of the premier tells the Associated Press that Count Witte had no faith in the policy of Minister of the Interior Durnovo and only consented to it on the condition that it should be confined to legal means. It is the opinion of many liberals as well as revolutionaries, that "with the first discharge of cannon, Count Witte will go." They say it matters little whether the premier is or is not in sympathy with the policy of reaction, he cannot shirk responsibility for it. A prominent personage said to the Associated Press: "The step taken towards reaction marks the beginning of the end and the policy which has been inaugurated is bound to fail. The government's task will not merely be the arrest of a small group of leaders, but that of the whole population. The powers conferred on the provincial authorities by the imperial ukase is tantamount to a declaration of martial law throughout the country and the irresponsibilities of repression which the officers of the-old regime may commit when let loose can only serve to fan the flames." THREE KILLED IN COLLISION. Seaboard Air Line Line Crash Together Near Orlando, Fla. A head-on collision occurred on the Seaboard 'Air Line at Plymouth, Fla., about 16 miles from Orlando Saturday morning, resulting in the death of Engineer Lambert and John Lusadder, white fireman, and William Jones, a colored fireman, on the other train, and the injuring of Mall Agent Burlack.

Henry O'Shields, a young white man, who has been conducting a business on what is called Factory Hill, on the outskirts of Gainesville, Ga., shot and fatally wounded his wife and Milt Emmett at about 2:30 o'clock Tuesday morning. During Monday night, fire broke out in O'Shields' store house, only a short distance from his dwelling, and it was totally destroyed in a short time. After doing what he could to say his goods from the conflagration, Mr. O'Shields alleges that he went to the back part of his house and there found his wife and Emmett in a compromising position. O'Shields immediately went to the Hall county jail, where he surrendered himself to the sheriff. He is perfectly calm and-says that he was wholly justifiable in doing what he did. O'Shields used a 38-caliber pistol, and both his wife and Emmett weps shot at close range. WASHINGTON LIFE ON RACK. President Tattock Tella His Experiences to Investigators. An inquiry into the affairs of the Washington Life Insurance company was begun at New York Tuesday by the legislative insurance investigation committee, when President Tatlock, president of the company, was called to the-witness stand. He expressed somewhat of a different sentiment from other life insurance officers, in that his experience had been that only about 5 per cent of loans were ever paid up and that a loan was but a deferred surrender of a policy. RAILROAD EMPLOYS ITALIANS. Large Batch of Immigrants Secured by Atlanta and West Point. By Atlanta and West Point. Over fifty Italian immigrants have been brought south as employees of the Atlanta and West Point road within the last thirty days, a fact which is regarded as significant by those interested in seeing immigration turned southward. These Italians were met by immigration agents at Ellis Island, New York, and employed by the Atlanta and West Point, a few at a time and brought south.

Two masked men compelled the engineer to stop the train, run the locomotive, mail and express cars half a mile west of the balance of the train. They dynamited the express, car., shattered the through, and local safes and decamped with the contents. The amount of murder obtained is unknown. BANKS CLOSED DOORS Three Big Chicago Concerns Forced to the Wall. EPOSITO RS PROTECTED Clearing House Association Comes to Rescue and Institutions with Liquidata — Heavy, Loane, Caused Suspension. Three of the largest financial institutions in the west, the Chicago National bank, the Home Saving Bank and the Equitable Trust Company, all of Chicago, and all of them controlled by John R. Walsh, and in great measure owned by him, suspended operations Monday. Their assets will be liquidated as rapidly as possible, and they will go out of business. Mr. Walsh, who was the president of the Chicago national bank and of the Equitable Trust company, and all the other officers and all the discoverers of the Chicago National bank have resigned, National Bank Examiner G. H. Bosworth has succeeded Mr. Walsh as the head of the Chicago National bank, and the places of the officers have been filled by men appointed by the Chicago clearing house. Bank of the new management stands one allied banks of Chicago, who have pledged their resources that every supervisor shall be paid to the last person, and that no customer of any one of the three institutions shall lose anything by reason of the suspension. Had not this action been taken by the banks of Chicago, a disastrous panic must have followed in Chicago and throughout the country. The immediate cause of the out- lapse of the institutions controlled by Mr. Walsh is said to be the large amount of money which they have loaned to various private enterprises of his—notably the Southern Indiana railway and the Bedford Quarter- company of Indiana. Mr. Walsh claims that it he could have had a little more time and been left out trammeled in his operations, he con- have saved his banks and made more mons profits for himself and his sociates. He bases this statement on his estimate of the value of the bonds of the Southern Indiana Railroad company. The comptroller, the state auditor and the members of the Clearing house committee place the value of the bonds at equivalent valuation of Mr. Walsh, and they refusal to accept his valuation that caused the suspension of the banks. The liabilities of the three institutions are estimated in the aggregate at $26,000,000. Against this amount the banks and the trust company have resources that are on conservative estimate worth $15,000,000. The bonds of the Southern Indiana Railroad company are estimated by Mr. Walsh as being worth $15,000,000. They are considered by the controller, state auditor, and the opening house committee to be worth a little more than half that sum. The directors of two of the banks, and Mr. Walsh, who has turned over all of the private property, as well as that standing in the name of Mrs. Walsh, have pledged real estate securities valued at $25,000,000 more, making a total of $29,000,000, assets (estimating the Southern Indiana bank at $8,000,000) against $26,000,000 liabilities. POULTRY MEMBER Southern Association formed as holding Held in Illinois. At a meeting of the Southern auditor men, representing all the southern states, held in Atlanta, Georgia night, the Southern Southern Association was organized.

Gombest of Texas, who was one of presidents, was elected him. It was announced that a association be held 1. to December cotton gin 975,520 In making merry don't forget the poor in your midst. It is divine like to be charitable. THE TRIBUNE takes this method of extending to each of its readers a "Merry Christmas." It is hoped that the hilarious manner in which a number of people observe Christmas will be discontinued. While the season calls for good cheer, yet it should be Christ-like. THE fourth annual session of the National Association of Colored A. and M. Colleges and Schools of Secondary and Higher Education will be held in Richmond, Va., next Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. President Wright of the State College is president of this institution. Republicans of Toombs The Republicans of Toombs County met at Lyons on Monday last and organized the party of that county: An enthusiastic meeting was held. It was called to order by Mr H. H. Sharpe. Mr S. S. Mincey was selected to preside. Mr. E. B. Cooper was elected chairman, and Mr. C. C. Edwards, vice chairman; Mr. W. Walden; Secretary and Mr. M.L. Jumper, treasurer. The officers selected are live party men. The Chairman, Mr. Cooper, is one of the leading colored men of his section and is very prosperous in his business. Much is expected from the Republicans of Toombs County. Davis and the Conference The unspeakable Ben, erstwhile school teacher, revenue officer, retired in disgraced—and at present editor of The Atlanta Independent which is run on other people's money, is hot after Dr. W. J. White, editor of the Georgia Baptist, because of the proposed conference called by Dr. White for next February. As far as the actual question of wisdom is concerned it is not for any one to take Dr. White's part, he is amply able to take care of himself even with loquacious Ben, except to say in reply to his statement that "it is Dr. White's conference," by saying that the National Negro Business League and the Afro American Council are practically dominated by Booker T. Washington and Bishop Walters, and that he certainly does not know what he says when he says that Dr. White was ever, at any time, a member of the Georgia Legislature. And, further, Ben Davis will never live long enough to do the Negro race one third the actual good that Dr. White has done and Davis is the only sap-headed Negro egotist in Georgia that does not know it. So much for that view of it. But Davis refers to Dr. White as a "peanut politician." Shades of Beelzebub! Can rambunctions Ben explain that kind of politics used by him and others to defeat Charley Clark at Savannah last year when they were coward enough to asperse the good man's personal and private relations at a time when he could not defend himself Can he define that chicanery that keeps him Grand Secretary of the G. U. O.of O. F., when two-thirds of the Order detests him! Can he relieve his conscience long enough to explain the Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde attitude of his "National (!) Journal of circulation and opinion (!)" In the Howell-Smith campaign in proclaiming Howell in one breath as "Our Next Governor" and in the next exudation of his fractions cerebrum try to show where Smith's propoganda is best for the Negro, and, lastly, why did the dear B. J. smite "old man Lee," at the B. M. C. when he was making a living with Lee's money? And yet Saint Ben, talks of "peanut Prejudice Agalu Edward Petty, returned on from Memphis, Teen, and two weeks in attentional gathering of Paper Hangers and December. There were only three colored delegates present. There were two thousand delegates at the meeting. Even with the small number of delegates, the hydra-headed monster prejudice had to present itself by the local committee refusing to accord them the same treatment as was accorded the white delegates. In the opera party, that was given in honor of the convention, the white delegates were accorded seats in the lower part of the house while the colored delegates were given tickets, to the gallery. Mr. Petty true to his manhood refused to accept the accommodation and destroyed the ticket on the convention floor. In this he was applauded by a number of the right thinking delegates and especially by his friends. Mr. Petty may be appointed as organizer among the colored workmen of this section. "Nuf Sed" Hears Prof. Mc- Intosh Dear. Mr. Editor: Having seen and heard much about the "Three Matrimonial Problems," I thought I'd better take a stroll to Beach Institute to hear what the good professor would have to say about these problems. Now, what do you think I saw when I turned my lamps on the audience? Well sir, I'll tell you, I saw that every male public school teacher was there. Bully for the male public school teachers! I tell you as a class these public school teachers are setting a fast pace for members of other professions to keep up with. I wish to say to some of the would be leaders that if they don't show works rather than words, old men Back-to-the-Woods and Good for Nothin will be staring them in the face; and perhaps Mr. Relegation will also knock the starch out of some of the. Be kerful, ye leaders, the people have their lamps on you, you've got to show deeds not hot air. Mr. Editor, the good professor certainly dished out some good advice in a bounteous way. If our people would only follow some of his advice, they would have some of these unprincipled lawyers (who are regular parasites, living on the contentions and disagreements between husband and wife) looking like the proverbal 30cts.; and have some of our "unholy" magistrates (who perform Holy Matrimony) begging their ice-water. It is high time for our people to know that the question is not how to keep boys and girls apart but how they should act in each others' company. The professor in no uncertain terms condemned the new fad which is gaining some foot-hold, it might appear, among some of our people of getting married secretly, and then later on have the papers to publish some notice showing where they were married way back yonder when chicken had teeth! The professor-being a weighty man, jumped on the divorce question with both feet, and I'll tell you he stamped the very life out of granting divorces on any and every filmsy excuse which in many cases is furnished by unprincipled lawyers. I tell you our courts have become a regular mill where they turn the crank, and grind out the divorce I have heard it said that the lady public school teachers of the progressive, serviceable and well meaning type attend these lectures; while "Do Sorry Variety" don't tend kase dey is nutin to eat at the lectures. The people are beginning to ask about our colored lawyers. Well, I'll tell you, people you know lawyers are very busy people and just haven't the time and just can't make the time, they are too busy. I want to tell the readers Mr. Editor, that I saw Mr. B. Nutin Butair and he was still issuing his free advice. I also saw Mr. B. Hind De Tymes and Mr. Helping Hand. Mr. Hand told me that this is the Christmas season and he is going to see that he helps himself, his family and will be sure to help the poor and needy. He said he will spend Christmas quietly as it should be celebrated. Yours Truly NUF-SED P. S. Merry Christmas to all! Masonic Notes. Next Wednesday is St. John's Day.

When the Men's Sunday Club announced its lecture course to the public, perhaps the third number caused more comment and discussion than any of the others. So many and varied were the views given as to what course the lecturer would take in speaking upon the subject, until a great haze or mystery was connected with it. Naturally the audience which greeted the lecturer, Prof. McIntosh at Beach Institute last Tuesday night was eager to hear about these "Three Matrimonial Problems." As the lecturer proceeded, however, he took the audience by surprise; laid bare the problems; and mastered and handled the subject in such a pleasing and entertaining manner and above all such an instructive way until as far as his audience was concerned, the 3 problems were completely, clearly, and logically solved. The lecture proved to be very interesting, perhaps, because of three things, viz. the very instructive, straight from the shoulder advice given which was backed by reason, judgement and experience; the wit and humor very frequently made use of and the style, profundity and originality of the lecturer himself as a speaker. The lecture will be regarded by those present as a master attempt combining depth and breath of thought with levity and humor. In order for one to appreciate such a lecture it is necessary to be present because the lecture abounded in so many good things until any attempt to pick out a few would, do the subject an injustice. Nevertheless, it is in order to call your attention to some of the many good things said. The Three Problems were: "happy courtship; felicitous marriage; and divorce." Courtship is the first period of the history, the first act of the drama, the first scene of the tragedy of the strenuous life of the human family. Who shall court? When should they court? How should they court? The youth, early and in intelligence nurtured by their parents. Mothers and fathers make your children your companions that your might teach them the way of the world. Enter into their past times, chat with them about the neat clean and pretty little girls and boys of the neighborhood finding out whether they are setting their affections on the high, or the low. He then read little sentiments which were obtained from the seventh grade public schools; little notes which boys and girls exchange with one another as follows. "You think I am your sugar lump, I write this to show you I give you the dump." 2. "I wish I were a chin." Roses on a tree, flowers are thine Way down in my loving heart, I've got a feeling for you." "If you love me like I love you." Father, mother teacher let me emphasize this assertion that courtship begins even in early childhood. Who should court? Young men and wowomen who are strong, physically strong intellectually and strong morally. When should they court? Before they have sowed their wild cows in the fields of dudeism or opism or in the garden of deceptive flirtation. The golden text in courtship is "Be ye not unequally yoked together." In the establishment and maintenance of this ordained institution [meaning marriage] "the who should marry, the why and when" must ever be important factors. Marriage should be a continuous courtship. The third problem was then taken up. He called attention to the large number of divorces which are being given out in our country. He styled divorce as "a wreck of beautiful sunshine". He ended by quoting the following passage; "Be ya not unequally yoked together." Jesus' Mother "Mary the Mother of Christ" is the text of another of those interesting and instructive sermons to be preached Sunday night by the Rev. Richard Bright of St. Stephens. Those who heard his discourse on "The affection of a certain woman for her 'mother-in-law' were well pleased. The subject Sunday night is said to be even deeper and more comprehensive and plethoric with good things especially at this time Advent. All are welcome. There will also be Christmas services 6 o'clock Christmas morning. The Sunday School festival will be held on Thursday evening, Dec. 28th, at 8 o'clock sharp. All are welcome. Rev.

How It Was Organized, What It gives Members and who join the club. Sales Now a Hundred a Month to Satisfied Costemers Who Save Nearly $125. JOB PRINTING Two months ago dates the advent of the Ludden & Bates Piano Club in the city of Savannah and the country around. At that time we chose the Ludden & Bates Piano Club as our method of introducing the New Scale $400 Ludden & Bates'Piano to the public. Since its first organization and a few people were permitted to know the merits of this elegant piano, it has been almost impossible for us to supply the demand for it. Ludden & Bates Pianos have been sold over the entire period of the last 20 years, but never before have we been able to offer the public such value, such piano satisfaction, at a popular price and on such easy terms of payments. The New Scale $400 Ludden & Bates Piano appeals alike to musician and mechanic. As a medium of corroborating our claims for it at that time the piano has allowed no doubt to remain even in the mind of the most skeptical as to the justice of our reputation to make good every promise given or every responsibility we assume The New scale $400 Ludden & Bates Club Piano is "WARRANTED FOR A LIFETIME" and for the past 35 years the name "Ludden & Bates" has good for truth, and this instrument in its embodiment of truth is our emblem. MUSICIANS HAVE COSEN IT—because it met their demands in every particular. Its resonance of tone, sympathetic quality and wonderful sustaining power, with its evenness of touch, have made it alike the favorite of singer and player. BUSINESS MEN HAVE SELECTED IT—because in all its mechanical appearances it has reached the standard of workmanship, and combining its artistic qualities with its pleasing designof case, it offers/them A MAXIMUM OF VALUE OR A MINIMUM OF PRI E. MOTHERS DESIRE IT—because promises to implant in the minds of their children the purest conception of tone and to the fingers to skilled technique, and besides giving the home the greatest air of refinement, it adorns it with majesty; in fact, ALL THAT PERTAINS TO THE "LUDDEN & BATES" IS REGAL. It is the only piano made or sold in the South at an absolute, unchangeable price—to schools, colleges and to the individual alike—$887 There isn't a plano sold in the South that will compare with it for much less than double the club price of $289. Under our club plan nearly 200 people—great half of whom might never have been able to possess a high-grade plano—are now enjoying the benefits and pleasures of one in their homes. By organizing the Ludden & Bates Plano Clubs we are able to sell planos in lots of 100 at one price, either for cash or on time, with interest, ABSOLUT TEY CUTTING OUT EVERY DOLLAR OF EXPENSE' attached to selling in the usual way. The member joining the club with 99 others purchase together, saving all middle men and their agents' profits and expense. YOU BUY IN QUANTITIES ON A CASH BASIS—take time, if you like, by merely 'paying interest. This has been our method of 'inducing custom to our store, without causing extra expense and BY THIS METHOD we have successfully furnished individuals instruments at a saving of nearly $125. We ship "Ludden & Bates" Planos everywhere—memberships come from all over the South.

Gloria in Excelsis. NCE more the hallowed, gracious Christmas-time is upon the earth.

The and build a new for the them and said: "Of such is the king dom of heaven." Socrates sneered at the grief of a mother weeping for her babe. If Plato suggested that every village should select a distant hilltop tries is all but ended. The 0 Christmas festival, dedicated to happiness and good-will, has fully come. This morning the whole city has wakened to quadruple joy. The very atmosphere of our earth is rosy, stained with the rich colors of the heart. All windows are bright with holly and evergreen. Parents have discovered that it is more blessed to give than to receive. Youth overflows with animal spirits. Suddenly the aged have shed their years and become young again. Before the light had fully dawned the carols had begun to be heard in the churches. And every passing hour will behold larger multitudes thronging to these temples of the soul. All feel that no flowers are sweet enough, no songs bright enough, no gifts rich enough for the Christmas Day. For once all strife and enmity have disappeared from the market place. To-day all carols are sheathed. This morning misers have become generous, pessimists have become optimists, while generous natures glow and effulge like the sun. Verily, Christmas lies like a bar of sunshine across the face of our dark earth. Christmas Children's Day. To-day, if some visitant from a celestial realm were to draw near to our earth for the first time, to go away again when darkness falls, the angel would carry with him the conviction that there is one sunny planet among the host of worlds where all childhood is rich and happy, knowing no care or sorrow. And it is literally true that this era of happiness for children is distinctly traceable to the Christmas event and the Christmas spirit. All children do well to celebrate the Manger Child, because it was Jesus who discovered childhood. When rulers and titled men questioned Him, Jesus placed a child in the midst of [Museum of Islamic Art, Doha, Qatar] the boars' head in hand beat I, beheaded with bays and rosemary; and I say you my masters, be merry DREAMS OF A YEAR Dobble of brook thine the body brush, Flutter of wing hard the morning damp, Sray of loon in the evening hush, Sob of wind and the song of thrugh, Bright star and firefly lamps. Spire and spike of the lily's plumage, Drumming bees in the purple thush, Tuber of bat in the silver moons, With thin the earth in the arms of June With lily and rose and mush. Glint and gleam of the golden-red, Leaf and tendrils of clematis, Blundy glaze in the golden god Where purple oysters shone them nod Like swirling amethysts. Snowflakes over the lily's bed, Frozen creams on the world's blooms, Spikes of frost where the rose hung red, And the golden heart of the morning bird Its light through the summer moon. Low hung mists where the sun flamed white, Snowdrifts over the dales and dunes, Gints of ice where the grapes hung ripe, Shifting gray for the golden light Of Autumn afternoon. Heart of hope when the sun shone bright, Dream of faith in a snowbound white, Whisper of love hirn a world of white, With the joy of God in a Christmas night, "Peace on earth, good all to men." GEORGIA BETTUS. Christmas, Royal of Joy and Mindness Dwight Hillis, of Plymouth Church Good tidings of great joy." Gloria in Excelsis. them and said: "Of such is the kingdom of heaven." Socrates sneered at the grief of a mother weeping for her babe. If Plato suggested that every village should select a distant hilltop and build a pen for the exposure of unwelcome children; if Aristotle urged laws making the drowning of sick and weakly children compulsory on their parents; if Senea said, "We slay the worn-out ox and horse, and it is not wrath, but reason, that separates weak children from strong," if Cicero rebuked his friend for grief because he missed the dead babe, then every lover of childhood must rise up to speak for that Christ who took a child in His arms, whose love brooded over the child as the stars looked down upon the little town of Bethlehem, and who sent through the ages this word, "Suffer little children to come unto Me." Jesus said, "Take heed that ye offend not one of My little children" and "Their angels do always behold the face of My Father," and hope dawned for childhood. From that hour Jesus' disciples began to make life happy for children. They founded homes for the exposed children who had been left to starve. They founded asylums for girl babes left in the market place by parents to whom they were unwelcome. They purchased suffering children from their slave masters. For children schools began to be founded, books written and colleges established. For children the wheels of Industry turned around. For children the walls became beautiful with pictures, and shelves were filled with books. For childhood homes became happy, music became high and sweet. Gallery and library took on new grace and richness. All institutions are tested by their power to serve childhood and strengthen youth. To-day all institutions are beginning to imitate the wise men from the East, who brought to the Divine Child their gold and aromatic spices, their frankincense and treasure. Christ's estimate of the value of childhood has conquered the world. His thought of childhood is the very heart and genius of Christian civilization. Christmas and the Golden Age. Because Christmas stands for the child, as the father of the man, and for the cradle, as the one point where futurity is vulnerable, it will yet usher in the Golden Age. To produce an ideal world we need only one thing—a Christmas that lasts all the year. When the sun rises it throws its beams of sunshine forward a half hour in advance of the orb of fire. When the sun sets the light lingers long in the clouds. And the Golden Age means that the approaching Christmas will cast its generous beams forward toward July, and that when the Christmas Day has passed its peace and good-will will linger to lend light to those months that end with June. To-day parents give MCC gifts to their children, the prosperous help the poor, the happy stretch out friendly hands toward the widow and the fatherless—the Christmas spirit has transformed, selfishness into service. This morning, without changing a single law, economic or political, lo, the Golden Age is come. It seems that to produce ill ideal world, without sorrow or strife or sin, it is only necessary that the beams that stream from this, bright day should encircle our cold earth, not in robes of frosty selfishness, but with the sweet blossom of the heart. Little wonder that in the far-off forest and valley and plaif, in the frozen North and in the sunny South, in the innumerable homes of this great Republic, all people, young and old alike, through gifts and song and good-will, celebrate this greatest day and the greatest event that has ever befallen our earth. The civilization that advances and rolls forward like a golden food represents a spirit that set forth from Bethlehem. Universal happiness and wisdom and peace will come to our earth when the Christmas comes to stay all the year-New York World. ```markdown ``` Honely Philosophy.

This has been called the era of children, so much are the little ones thought of nowadays and so completely have the old, harsh, unkind ways died out. Yet the Japanese long ago JCC showed us the way. In a country where all the grown-up people laugh and the babies are treated with wonderful tenderness, they worship a god, "the God that plays with little children in the sky." The image of the god stands by the river at Nikko, and into his lap the passers-by pour little white pebbles, in case the god should forget to gather them and the children have nothing to play with. 6 EXPLICIT INSTRUCTIONS Santa Claus "Hal!

Christmas Gifts A plea for simple toys for children is made by a writer in The Uttarpradesh, from which we select the following paragraphs and the accompanying illustration. It is a sad confession, but an inevitable one, that few of us succeed in cherishing in our hearts that boyish THE JUNCOLEAK THE DINKEY BIRD THE BASSWOOD BEAST THE TRECLOONAL BIRD freshness and exuberance that enabled Stevenson to put himself in the place of the child did to speak truly from the depths of the child indid: And so, oblivious to the real nature of the realm in which the little one is king, we all seem bent, this Christmas season, upon diverting him from the spell of that land by thrusting him into the world of the actual, the matter of fact. To this end we surround him with objects that are as exact a reproduction of real things as it is possible to make; and we bid him "play" with these literal facemiles of things which he sees around him. We haunt the toy shops in search of animals with real fur, little French lassies that can walk and talk and go to sleep, and wonderful mechanical toys that seem almost possessed of in- ```markdown ``` telligence; and because these cleverly constructed automata interest and divert us, we think that they are adapted as playthings for the children. We take them home and enjoy them while the little ones marvel at them for an hour. To-morrow they are either taken to pieces to gratify a scientific impulse or laid upon a shelf. And the children, until the next periodical rain of costly gifts descends, happily pursue their games with the aid of the crude objects which they have fashioned for themselves out of a board, a stick, a piece of string, or whatever else may have been available in completing some comprehensive plan. Toys need not be meaningless in order to be simple. They may be so constructed on simple, vital lines as to suggest life, activity, strength. Why not direct a little attention toward securing the embodiment of simple art principles in the toys with which the children are to live? It is significant that most children find a keener delight in playing with paper dolls than with any other kind. This is but an added confirmation of the fact that the imagination of the child loves best a few direct lines that it may clothe with contours of limitless beauty and charm. ORCHARD and GARDEN The Cow's Milk. When a cow is giving a pound of butter a day she is subfetting her nervous system to alivy softer strain, for she gives besides that an equal portion of almost solid protein or nitrogen in the form of casein, and she has to extract it with a very strong exercise of nervous force. Dorset and Shropshire. Dorset sheep produce lambs two or three weeks earlier than other breeds. In some Australian tests it was shown that Shropshires made more rapid growth and overtook the Dorsets by the time they were four months old. Dorsets, however, can be used earlier and for very nice trade are by many considered more profitable. Protection Against Crowz For the benefit of all readers, who raise corn, I will gladly send, a sure way, of raising corn without, the crowns troubling it. To one-half bushel of corn, take one plent of Gas Tar, warmed sidd, thinned with coal-oil. In a clean place, mix the tar and coal-oil, well through the corn, then sow. We have planted acres of corn every year and have never yet had any trouble, with crowns—Beaulah St. Clare Shepherd, in The Epilomist. Do Your Share of Improving. Improvements are daily-taking place in every business and the farmer should by all means keep up with the procession." We all know that farming is a calling that has seen some vast improvements during the last few years, and it is those who have taken advantage of these improvements, as they have been offered, that are the ones who find the business of farming a successful one. It will pay any farmer, to keep his eyes open for things along this line and when he sees something that is good to take advantage of it. Weekly Witness. If We Could Tell. It would be a valuable aid to poultrymen and farmers if they could control the sex of their animals and birds, and it would be a large saving if one could select the eggs that produce pullets instead of perhaps having a brood composed almost wholly of cockerels. Many theories have been advanced, such as selecting round and long eggs, or those with the air bubble in the center or at one side; but as some hens lay all round eggs, and others eggs of different shapes, the shape of the egg can be no guilda. The difference in the sexes is not great, but it is a problem. No one can tell in advance by examining the eggs, although occasionally some one comes to the front with a theory that is claimed to have been demonstrated. Wise men have experimented and, worked in that direction for centuries, but nature has not divulged any of her secrets regarding sex. All kinds of matings have been made, and hundreds of methods tested, but the best policy to pursue is to take the same chances that have been presented to our ancestors, and which have not changed for us.—Woman's Realm. Raising Horses for Market The importance of selecting the best of stallions cannot be too much emphasized. It is my conviction that the government should license stallions; and only those up to a high standard of quality and pedigree. Every breeder to be successful must have his ideal, and work towards it by carefully mating the characteristics of dam and sire. There is nothing against a mare's being worked while pregnant; in fact, she would be better working than otherwise, but in every case her shoes should be removed, because the foot has not the sensitive feeling; when the shoe is on, and after foaling, she might tramp on her foal. She should be gently handled and liberally-fed on nutritious food, but in no case, should it be of a very succulent nature. Much laxative, food has a tendency to weaken the foal. A foal should not be allowed to run with its dam while the latter is at work, but should remain in a roomy well-lighted box stall, and taught to eat oats mixed with a little bran, water being within reach. In any case the foal should be taught to eat several weeks before weaning. It should be halter-broken, and fitted, when quite young. The foal has now arrived at the most critical stage of its life. A roomy box-stall, with plenty of exercise in the open already is necessary for the proper development of muscle and general health. A good grain ration for the winter would be crushed oats and bran, three-part oats to one part bran. An average colt should get from five to six quarts of this mixture daily, with slightly good clover and a few roots. Salt should be within reach. In no case should they be fed more than is eaten up clean at each feed. The feet should be frequently examined, and pared when necessary. The young animal should be kept safe, thrifty, growing condition until ready for market. The education of horses, beginning at the beginning as it should, may be summed up in three words: Gentleness, patience and firmness. No animal should be offered for sale. unless thoroughly finished. A nailed horse is a horse in a high condition, presenting an unwork appearance, that the feet are not broken. When the mane pulled and the tail straightened, Trim off long, coarse hair on carn and jaws. Have the horse sit. Then consult the market, and ask for and stick to a good, fair price.—W. Kydd, in Massachusetts Ploughman. As a general thing, farmers are inclined to give their attention entirely to lines of business, from which they expect to get the greater part of their income and the master source of income receives but little thought or attention. Many farmers are known to me who practice mixed farming, but who depend mostly upon the sale of hay and grain. They kept only enough stock to consume the roughage, as asat straw and the coarse hay, and were content to buy cows that were mostly culls and would yield only from 75 to 125 pounds of butter per year. Dairman who make the dairy profitable; consider this ignorance or great indifference or neglect, but as a general thing they keep poultry on the same plan, evidently more for the convenience which the eggs and poultry afford than for the proat—they find it. As a rule, farmers have reason to complain of hard times, more because they fall to look after all the details of their business than from unpleasant legislation. The one may be remedied by their own effort, but the other is not directly under their jurisdiction. If given a little well-directed attention, poultry is one of the most paying sources on the farm. Young poultry only should be kept, not over two to four years old, according to the breed. Food should be given in a variety, avoiding too much of the fat forming substances. I have fed a mixture of two parts bran meal to one part of wheat, wheat screenings, cracked corn, cats, oatmeal, cornmeal, etc., varying the mixture as much as possible from day to day. A little salt, red pepper, and charcoal powdered fine in this feed will be greatly beneficial. About one gallon of this mixed feed will do for fifteen to eighteen fowls. In the winter, feed more of it, servicing the breakfast hot. Occasionally I give a head of cabbage and a frequent supply of apples, plenty of fresh water at all times, some scraps, meat and animal meal, an occasional basket, of grass seeds from the barn floor, and have oyster shells always accessible. One hundred hens have, been made to produce from $20 to $25 per month during the winter season, and a little over $2.25 for each during the year. I am confident of the fact that anyone who argues that this attention is not necessary, as they can get as many eggs with half the care, does not know what their income is, nor what it costs to produce the eggs. Poultryman who have no warm place for their swine in winter, will find it best to keep some of the larger breeds which have a heavy coat of feathers, and keep them out of snow and care for them properly when eggs are high, and they will find better profits. A pum-bred White Plymouth Rock male, makes a good cross for these conditions, and they mature quickly. A brood of this cross hatched early in May began, laying early in October, or from four to six weeks earlier, than pure-bred Rose-comb White Leghorns hatched the same day and, kept under the same conditions. Judging from accounts, fowls which are kept, conserved and have to, be furnished everything can be, kept as cheaply, as a cow, and produce in a year from $125 to $175, or more, while the cow may bring in $75 if she is a choice animal. Therefore, the farmers would be better off in every respect if they would pay more attention to the smaller, incomes which, if attended to in the right manner, often bring, in the most clear profts. The Feather. The Birds In the Moor The instinct of migration is one of the most wonderful in the world. A young bobwhite and a bobwhite are hatched in the same New England field. The former grows up and during the fall and winter forms one of the curves which his content to wander a mile or two here and there in areas of good feeding grounds. Hardly had the bobwhite found his first fall down before an险陡的 impulse caused him.

From time immemorial the canals which abound in the country have supplied a fertile human, which is, dredged in that bottom, and sold to the people for their fields. Complaints are made that the value of this humus is greatly impaired, others jumped into the steam boats. ic A a Te ECR eS ERED eee SEE Eaters OS OE Eee SPREE Spel 2 Te Se aR CERRO CME Core Eee al aKa, ee et, coe OT ER ae FONE SSS oF * GR EE ARES an par? 2 SARE OLA ba eg yee ees 6 SET EES a REE em ee 5 RE Teg BS ee Ey ae ee Sy EN ge BR apes ee BRE OL cease LE peter Se eae Fg EEG, STS ren i ocaea oa oho “paste aN SRP 2 SET Te a EY a Se ee ack ee a OUNTRY -BYTOWE os ills woe eee a eT Ee ge ee ee ep a ae, Oe T lS get aiieton J,Genieaal, Dealer- in Revgas Gkeére’ ant, Basile, SAE MRSS cab eh oo, wow ee ER, the city's Heit, SEES the die. an Read n obtrpe Ot Avant ial 6. the’.

The difference between wool and cotton ie very great, and in the case of separate threads of each s plainly apparent, yet when these same threads are closely interwoven some “good Judges are mistaken and buy mixed cotton and wool goods, firmly con- ¥inced that there is not’a thread of cotton in the cloth, ‘It 1s the custom of all mills that manufacture cotton and wool mixtures to rm the cotton. crosswise in the looms, thus leaving the wool to run lengthwise. ‘This is done orlewo purposes: First, to im- part the glossy appearance which the longer stretch of wool thread gives when run in the length of the goods, and secondly, because the proportion of cotton is necessarily less and there- fore more dificult to detect. ‘The cot- ton thread, of course, is much smaller, and yery dificult to distinguish in closely woven fabric. There 1s one in- fallible test, however. Take a bdlt of coods at the cut end, and examine closely the crosswise thread, slowly pulling it apart. If it breaks almost evenly and comes apart’ slowly then one is safe in judging it to be all wool, If, on the contrary, it breaks in short, uneven strands and falls apart easily, refuse to accept the gocds, for it 1s undenfably cotton, and will not give satisfaction. It were far better to get an all cotton or all wool, —Men and Women. ‘Treins Operated by 00th Merfdian Time—One Hour Slower Than Oity Tims. BEAD DOWN.

Office, Midland, Indiana Office, Midland, Indiana Office, Midland, Indiana "HOT-AIR"COFFIN FACTORIES Lead Many Unwary Investors Into Quicksands of Financial Ruin. In these days of frenzied, finance, and the limelight of investigation on insurance corporations, the ordinary public is amazed over the disclosure of how millions are carelessly handled by the heads of large institutions, supposed to be safe and conservative. One fact revealed by these disclosures, is that the men connected with such institutions, have gotten beyond the days of small capital, and deal with such which rival Uncle Sam's treasury, through which, if successful, they will realize large profits. How sadly in comparison do the "investors" in many manufacturing enterprises appear, when judged from the standpoint of "knowing what you do," and nowhere is this more patent than with the investor that is constantly sinking funds in the many mushroom coffin factories that appear, and then after a spasm "©sappear," either through a "shut down" or through the sheriff. Did the loss but extend only to these "investors" it would be but the usual result, of not "looking before you leaped," but what of the creditors, and frequently the amounts advanced by "localities" paid to stimulate the new town industries, and often the wages due to workmen. The prevailing opinion in the public mind that the manufacturing of undertakers' goods returns tremendous profits, is no doubt stimulated by experience had with the undertaker, but in the manufacturing of funeral supplies, the question becomes quite a different proposition, for supply and demand, pure and simple, regulates the price, as it dogs in all other business, with the exception that "the demands cannot be stimulated, by either style, product, or price, 'Father Time,' alone controls. Here is where the overzealous capitalist or community allow promoters, or patriotism to impose upon their credulity, in accepting statements which will not bear the "light of investigation," but through ignorance of conditions, subscribe and put their cash, only to get wise after it is too late. Statistics show that there are one hundred and ninety-five casket manufacturing and jobbing plants in the United States, of which 163 are manufacturers of varying capacities, while 19 manufacture approximately 275,000 coffins and caskets annually, 30 manufacture 360,000, 114 manufacture 612,000, or a total of 1,347,000 coffins and caskets, manufactured annually in the United States, all of which must be consumed through the ordinary demand of mortality, but what is the demand? In the mortality abstract of the twelfth census, table number 94, we find that the total deaths from all causes in the registration area of the United States was 512,669 for twelve months, but this registration area was only 88 per cent of the continental territory of the United States. In part I. of the final report on vital statistics, page VII. the final computation shows a death rate in the United States of 16.3 per 1,000, and while this is considered excessive, but assuming it to be correct, it will show [approximately only 1,238,000 deaths per year in this country including paupers. Now what of the 109,000 coffins and caskets produced annually in excess of the demand which the public can not be induced to purchase by the use of any of the ordinary mediums used to stimulate trade as practiced in other lines of business? Unquestionably it is a case of over-supply, which can not be disposed of, and the surplus is more than double the quantity stated, for there is no provision in the estimate for pauper coffin, which are not made in the regular coffin factories, whereas the number of deaths include paupers, and thus the fate of nine out of every ten new coffin plants is clearly written, even before the stock is subscribed, to say nothing of the failure of the old ones. It sometimes happens that a new plant of this kind, after a hard struggle, succeeds in surviving some of the older ones, but the same amount of capital and energy invested in some other line, of business would not run such great risk of failure, while profits in the event of success have proven to be less than any other class of business. The records show that the average per cent of profit in the casket manufacturing business by houses which have been in business for a number of years, and equipped with the best facilities for turning out their work at the smallest per cent, runs from 5 to 8 per cent, while several, if not the majority of them can do no better than break even, and in a number of instances close down, or are closed out in a few years. The government statistics of 1900 shows that in that year $13,585,162.00 of capital was invested in the casket manufacturing business, and the value of the product was $13,952,308.00 at a cost of $10,022,829.00 for material and wages, or a gain of only 28 per cent over the amount expended. Now deduct from this the 20 to 25 per cent necessary for the cost of selling, incidental and sundry expenses and it can be readily seen that the profits will be the small if say Since these figures were tabulated raw material and labor have both advanced considerably with no advance in the finished product, which makes the small margin between the cost of production and the amount realized for the finished goods likely to disappear altogether.
