VOL. XXI. Passed in House Through Help of the Democrats. SEVENTY-ONE VOTED NAY Measure Went Through Substantially as It Came from the Ways and Means Committee—Majority A Washington special says: Only through the help of democratic votes did the administration save its Philippines tariff bill from defeat in the house Tuesday. In view of the present revolt on the part of republicans the important feature of the vote is that as many as fifty-nine republicans should have stood out against the bill to the end in the face of all the pressure that could be brought not only by the white house, but by the speaker and the house leaders. There is every indication that the revolt against the administration double statehood bill is stronger than that against this bill, and as the democrats are practically a unit against linking Arizona and New Mexico, there is a strong probability of the insurgents being on the winning side in that fight. The Philippines bill was passed by the house substantially as it came from the ways and means committee. The vote was 258 to 71. On the motion of Mr. Pujo of Louisiana rice was made subject to the same tariff as sugar and tobacco—25 per cent of the Dingley rates; and one or two changes were made as to language. This result was attained after decidedly the most strenuous day of the present congress. Many amendments were launched and went to pieces in the storm of debate. Republican opposition to the bill in the interest of American beet and cane sugar and tobacco tried out its strength early and gave up. This opposition refused to affiliate with democratic efforts. The strongest plea for "insurgent" support was made in behalf of Champ Clark's amendment reducing the differential on refined sugar, which was ruled out of order by the chair. The minority sought to duplicate the house record made on the Cuban recolprocity act, but not a republican opponent to this measure stood with them to overrule the decision of the chair. The democratic substitute providing for free trade with the Philippines met with only the support of the minority, and went down under a vote of 231 to 106. An effort sustained by the democrats, but opposed by all but three republicans, was infiltrated by Mr. McCall of Massachusetts to commit the United States to policy of granting independence to the Philippine Islands as soon as their inhabitants can be prepared for self-government. Mr. McCall offered an amendment to this effect, which was ruled out of order by the chair, whose decision was sustain an appeal—196 to 123. The bill admits goods the growth of product of the Philippine islands into the United States free of duty except sugar, tobacco and rice, on which a tariff of 25 per cent of the Dingley rates is levied. It provides that after April 11, 1909, there shall be absolute free trade each way between the United States and the Philippines. It also exempts Philippine goods coming to the United States from the export trade of those islands. Merchandise from either country is subjected to the internal revenue tax of the country in which such merchandise is withdrawn from consumption. Unexpectedly the senate at Tuesday's session found itself considering the railroad rate question, which was precipitated by Mr. Fulton taking the floor to make a brief speech in explanation of an amendment offered by him to the Dolliver bill, giving to courts of justice authority to modify orders of the Interstate commerce commission imposing an unreasonable rate. He had not proceeded far when he was switched from a general explanation of the terms of the provision to a defense of the principle which it seeks to establish, and a general discussion followed. Oliver Town. Almost Obliterated. Convoy, Ohio; a town of 1,800 inhabitants, was almost wiped out by fierly early Tuesday. The losses will regate $75,000. The Savannah Tribune. Senator Brackett In New York Legis ture Tells Why "Joker" Should Resign from U. S. Senate. The New York state senate Tuesday by a vote of 34 to 1 rejected the resolution of Senator Edward G. Brackett of Saratoga demanding the resignation of Chancey M. Depew from the United States senate. After a debate lasting more than three hours, and criticized on the one hand by Senator Brackett's unsparing denunciation of Senator Depew and the insurance companies on the other by almost equally harsh criticism of the judgment and the motives of the introducer of the resolution, the roll call showed Senator Brackett's own vote to be the only one in favor of the resolution. Every other republican senator voted against it, with the exception of Senator Armstrong, who was absent. The fourteen democratic senators were excused from voting on the resolution, though the motion to excuse them was opposed by Senator Brackett, who expressed his desire to "put every senator on record on this moral issue." Senator Grady, the democratic leader, said the democrats regarded the Depew issue as purely a republican affair; they felt like the man, who looking on while his wife fought with a bear, cried: "Go it, old woman; go it, bear." The more severe the consequences to both the "old woman" and the "bear" in this instance, the better the minority would like it. Explains Objects of Moroccan Meeting In Welcoming Speech. The Moroccan conference was opened at Algectras, Spain, by the duke of Almodovar, the Spanish foreign minister, who delivered the speech of welcome. Herr Von Radowitz, chief of the German mission, proposed the duke of Almodovar as president of the conference and the other countries represented, including the United States, seconded the proposal, with the result that the duke was unanimously elected president. During the course of his address, the duke of Almodavar said: "The powers have clearly shown their desire that order, peace and prosperity shall reign through Morocco. The sultan, as well as the foreign governments, desires this end, which is obtainable by introducing reforms upon the triple principle of the sovereignty of the sultan, the integrity of his territory and equal commercial treatment, namely, the open door. Mutual respect for our reprobacal interests and a sincere desire to conciliate them must be, according to my view, our rule of conduct at this conference. Our own sentiment as well as the attitude of the entire world dictates such a conciliatory solution." MARSHALL FIELD GOES HENCE. tim of Pneumonia. Marshal Field, the millionaire Chicago merchant, died at the Holland house in New York Tuesday afternoon, after an eight days' illness of pneumonia. Death came peacefully while members of the family, who had been in almost constant attendance for several days, were gathered around the deathbed. They, as well as the dying merchant himself, were prepared for the end. Marshal Field was without question the greatest and most successful merchant of his generation, and he was one of the world's richest men, his wealth being estimated at anywhere from $100,000,000 to $200,000,000. He was a native of Conway, Mae, where he was born in 1835. His father was a farmer, and Mr. Field obtained his education in the public schools of Conway. At the age of seventeen he became a clerk in a general country store in Pittsfield, where he remained for four years. He went to Chicago in 1866, and began his career there as a clerk. Will Be Supported by Republican Members of Committee. A Washington special say: For the purpose of giving the house bill some prestige before the senate, Chairman Hepburn and members of the committee on interstate and foreign commerce, are endeavoring to reach an agreement for unanimous report of a rate bill. This developed at Friday's meeting of the committee at which the republican members announced their purpose of supporting the Hepburn bill with certain slight changes. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. JANUARY 20, 1906. MOROCCO THE ISSUE Representatives of Powers Begin Notable Conference. GATHERED IN ALGECIRAS Question to Be Settled: Is Policing of the Country of the Moors Which for Years Has Been a Menace to the Outside World. The opening of the international conference on Moroccan reforms began at Algeciras, Spain, at 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. The duke of Almovodar, the Spanish minister of foreign affairs, took the initiative soon after arriving on Monday in arranging plans for the beginning of the deliberations. All the delegates arrived during the day. Interesting features Monday afternoon were the landing of Ambassador White, the American delegate, from the American protected cruiser Galveston, and later the arrival of Samuel Gummeres, minister to Morocco, the second American delegate from Tangier, on the French cruiser Galllee. The Galveston fired a salute of twenty-one guns as she dropped anchor off the pier. The Spanish cruisers did not respond promptly, but the land batteries roared an answering salute. On landing Ambassador White was greeted by the governor general, and the alcalde, who escorted him to his hotel. Mr. Gummeres was similarly saluted when he arrived on board the Galllee. There is an undercurrent of sentiment that a supreme diplomatic struggle is eminent, with France and Germany occupying the center. The French count upon Great Britain, Spain, Italy and Russia as sure, and consider that the ties between the United States and France and Great Britain warrant them in expecting the support of the American delegates. On the other hand, the prevailing sentiment is that Germany can count on Austria, Holland and Sweden, and, perhaps, on Denmark, with Germany also expecting that the United States will support some of her contentions. The scene before the delegates to the conference is suggestive. Plainly visible three miles away rises the gigantic rock of Gibraltar, like a lion guarding the straits, while dimly outlined to the southward are the low mountains of Africa. Algeciras lies in the center of this panorama. Thus the powers of the world are gathered at the southernmost point of Europe, and their longing looks toward-Africa give the keynote to the meeting. Famous Litigation Over Negro May Soon Be Relegated. The writ of error in the case of Henry Jamison vs the State has been withdrawn from the Georgia supreme court. The negro's attorney states that Jamison would pay the fine assessed against him by the recorder of Macon, a fine having been imposed as an alternative sentence, and he requested the supreme court to have the remittitur in the Pearson case forwarded to the superior court of Bibb county as soon as possible in order that the matter might be straightened out. WOMAN AND KIDS FLEE. Mrs. Grace Taggart Said to Be on Her Way to Europe. The Cincinnati Times-Star publishes a story to the effect that Mrs. Grace Taggart, who was to have appeared in the Wooster court Monday, in connection with her recent divorce from Captain Taggart, is on board the steamship Cedric with her two sons en route to Europe. She is, said to have booked as Mrs. Grace Thompson. Gaynor in Savannah Court. Demurrers to the two indictments returned against Greene and Gaynor last November were argued on the opening of the federal court at Savannah Monday. The indictments are Nos. 476 and 477. The counts of No. 476 allege embezzlement in collusion and connection with former Captain Oberlin M. Carter and others of the sums of $354,000 and $230,740. No. 477 is the indictment charging the receiving of money the defendants knew Carter to have embezzled. President Names Successor to Register of Treasury. AWARDED KANSAS NEGRO Change Will Take Place at Close of Lyons' Present Term—Other Heads Are Slated to Fall Into the Capitation Basket. A Washington special says: President Roosevelt Saturday announced the appointment of W. T. Vernon, principal of the Quindaro Institute at Quindaro, Kans., to be register of the treasury in succession to Judson W. Lyons. Charges were preferred against Vernon, but they were not sustained by the investigation made by the direction of the president. Lyons was at the white house during the day and learned from the president himself that there was no chance of his reappointment to the office he holds. The fact that Lyons is republican national committeeman from Georgia did not save him. Vernon of Kansas had the indorsement of Booker T. Washington. This turn down of Lyons, coming coincident with the announcement that Rucker, colored collector at Atlanta, is to lose out, and that Deveaux at Savannah is to meet the same fate, means that no negroes are to hold important offices in the southern states, where it is possible to find a reason for putting white men in their places. This is from now on to be. President Roosevelt's policy. Probably Crum, at Charleston, will be the only one left by the time the president goes out of office, and his lease on life comes through his having been the president's own appointee. By applying a two-term yard stick to all colored office holders throughout the south, the administration expects to rid itself of all those who were put into high office by President McKinley through the influence of Senator Hanna. In addition to Lyons, Rucker and Deveaux, those to go at the end of their present terms are: Robert Smalls, collector of the port at Beaufort, S. C.; Joseph W. Lee, collector of internal revenue for Florida; J. E. Bush, receiver of public moneys at Little Rock; Walter Cohen, receiver of public moneys at New Orleans, and James Lewis, surveyor general for Louisiana, under the department of the interior. All were active lieutenants of Mr. Hanna in his campaign, which resulted in the nomination of Mr. McKinley in 1896. In that ante-convention contest Mr. Hanna gave his promise to care for these men, and his strong hold upon the southern colored contingent was due to his sincerity in keeping his promises. The influences which have brought about this new policy on the part of President Roosevelt are two: first, the better understanding of the south and its people, which President Roosevelt acquired during his recent trips through that section; second, the active opposition of Booker T. Washington to the appointment of southern negroes to office. Washington advised President McKinley against such appointments in 1897, but his advice had no weight against the influence of Senator Hanna. He is, however, much closer to President Roosevelt than he ever was to his predecessor in office. In his educational work Washington does not have the sympathy of the political contingent of his own race, north or south. These do not take kindly to his doctrine that the colored man should give himself over to material pursuits, eschewing politics. In his educational work Washington does not have the sympathy of the political contingent of his own race, north or south. These do not take kindly to his doctrine that the colored man should give himself over to material pursuits, echewing politics. There is a strong anti-Washington element among the colored men of the country, and among these aligned with that element is Lyons. Apparently for the sole purpose of striking at these McKinley-Hanna colored officeholders it was announced some time ago that unless excellent reasons could be shown no federal officeholder would be given a third term. This rule has not been applied to any of the white stockholders, but it is to be rigidly enforced against those with dark skins. EVERY PLEA OVERRULED. Messra. Greene and Gaynor Lose in the First Round Before Judge Speer—Court Talks Plainly. In the United States court at Savannah Friday morning Judge Emory Speer rendered a decision overruling every plea that the crime of conspiracy with which Greene and Gaynor are charged was not extraditable. The decision was a sweeping one in favor of the government. It means that the defendants must go to trial on the two old indictments in which there are fourteen counts regardless of whether they are tried upon the indictments recently found or not. The opinion of the court was, in part, as follows: "The plea alleges that the court is without jurisdiction for the reasons thoreau stated. They are that the defendants were lately under the sovereignty of Great Britain; that under the treaty and under extradition treaties between this government and Great Britain the defendants were indicted to be tried on the charges; first, for participation in fraud by agent and trustee; second, participation in embezzlement; and, third, receiving money and property, knowing the name to be fraudulently obtained." "For many years the United States has been trying to bring to the bar of public justice the men whom successive grand juries have indicted for alleged violation of its laws and illegal misappropriation of enormous sums appropriated by the liberality of congress for the benefit of this city, of the Georgia sea coast, and the mighty values involved in the transportation by water of the interstate and foreign commerce of our country. On the other hand the rights of an individual are not less sacred, not less to be carefully conserved by the courts than the rights of the public in so far as they may be properly involved. The court has, therefore, listened attentively and carefully considered the exhaustive arguments of counsel. "Why is the court asked at one stroke to hew down the arm of justice as it would hold the scales in equal poise between the government and the accused? "It is said that to uphold this indictment would be a reflection upon the national honor, but in view of this action of all the courts of Great Britain and the ample sufficiency of these indictments, it will appear, I think, to annul them would seem a reflection upon the national intelligence. "The whole contention of the accused may be summarized in a single sentence. The indictment charges conspiracy and the prisoners were returned to the bar of this court for something else. It is further charged that the prisoners are put on trial for crime sother than those for which the extradition was granted. "The ruling of this court in 115 fed. rep., 344, on the demurrer to a similar indictment has been cited as authority to support the plea of the defendants. It is urged that the court reiterated the, word conspiracy as a designation for the offense, but the fact should not be disregarded that along with this. expression was the fullest and most circumstantial detail of the facts, which were set out in the indictments, which were adopted by all the British and Canadian courts, which passed on the question, which brought the above extradition, which gave the information to the prisoners of the character of the charge against them and which must be proven substantially before the government can expect a verdict of conviction. It was described not merely as a conspiracy, but as a joint and successful endeavor to defraud the United States by participation in the crime of its trusted agent and officer." Report of Indian Revolt Denied Senor Obalda, minister from Panama, in Washington, has received the following cablegram from his government: "Deny uprising of San Blas Indians." Personal differences between chiefs caused circulation of the report." CASSIE WORKS BUTTONHOLES. Finds It Vastly Different from Game of Working. Banks. A Columbus, Ohio, dispatch says: Mrs. Cassie Chadwick, who has been too weak to work for the past few days, and who has been confined in the hospital at the female department of the penitentiary, began her duties with the other women convicts Tuesday. She was set to work making buttonholes in shirts, and will continue at this work until she becomes well enough to run a sewing machine. FOR FIFTEEN GENTS Farmers are Urged to Hold Cotton by Convention. BANKERSPLEDGE SUPPORT As Means of Reduction Diversification of Greps Is Urged—Sensational By a unanimous vote the Southern Cotton Association in session at New Orleans adopted the report of its committee on holding, recommending that the balance of the crop of 1955-6 be held for fifteen cents a pound. A joint committee of bankers and farmers from each state and territory is to carry the plan, into effect. Co-operation with the growers of sea island cotton is provided for, long staple cotton to be held at 24 cents. That the sum of work of the Southern Cotton Association was to be a declaration for fifteen cents cotton with reduction in the form of diversification was practically settled at the Friday afternoon session of the convention when Chairman Dancy of the committee on holding, in advance of the presentation of its report, announced that the committee had unanimously decided favorably on that proposition. The announcement provoked the convention to a whirlwind of cheering. The premature announcement of the conclusions of the committee was forced by advices from New York to the effect that newspaper dispatches and Wall street reports printed and circulated there indicated a lack of harmony among the elements making up the convention and dissensions over the 15 cents proposition. R. Dancy, chairman of the holding committee, then said that in view of the reports which had been circulated in the east of dissension in the convention, he desired to announce in advance of its report that the committee was unanimous in its decision to ask the convention to stand by the proposition that the southern farmers will hold their cotton for 15 cents. Chairman Walker of Sparta, Ga., who presided over the meeting of the bankers, then announced that the bankers had enthusiastically adopted the following resolutions: "The southern bankers in convention congratulate the Southern Cotton Association on the success which it has already attained in its efforts to maintain a fair and equitable price for the south's staple crop, and recognizing that the interests of the farmers, bankers and business men of the south are inseparable; therefore, be it "Resolved, first, That we, representatives of southern banks, hereby renew our pledge of moral and financial support to the Southern Cotton Association, in their efforts to carry out this purpose; and second, we urge the importance of a better and more complete system of warehousing and caring for cotton." Chairman J. H. White presented the report of the committee on foreign trade relations. It indorsed that made by the standing committee. The latter signed by ex-Senator McLaurm, as chairman, said the committee met President Roosevelt and cabinet officers in Washington after the last convention, and explained to him the desire for a commission to enlarge the cotton trade in foreign countries. By Invitation Secretary Blackwell of the National Ginners' Association made an address to the convention. "There are not 300,000 bales of cotton yet to gin in the entire south," he said, "More than 50 per cent of the gins everywhere are closed. Many of the others have only five to seven bales to gin. Dry goods have been constantly advancing in price during the year past, and we have only to stand together to get the reasonable price the association has asked for cotton." "DAMN THE LAW," SAID MAYOR. This Remark is Attributed to the Chief Executive of Kansas City. "Damn the law, God could not enforce the prohibition law in Kansas and Jesus Christ would not." Rev. John C. Lynn, a Presbyterian preacher and president of the Clive League, testifying at Kansas City, Kan., Friday, in the case brought by the state to oust Mayor W. W. Rose from office because of his alleged failure to enforce the laws, testified that the above words were spoken by Mayor Rose on May 6, 1908. LOVE'S VICTORY. By BARRY SHIEL. "Well, there's only one course left open to me now, my dear fellow, and that is to 'marry money.' I've staved off the evil day as long as possible, but I'm cornered at last. So you will probably hear the engagement of Maurice Algernon Davenegh to a certain heiress whom we know of announced at an early date." The speaker yawned, leaned back in his seat with a complacent air, and watched the smoke curling fantastically ceilingward from the business end of his cigar. "The dickens it will!" exclaimed the Honorable Claude, looking up in surprise. "And who, if I may ask, is the —er—fortunate lady?" "Miss Violet Hunstan." Once—it was the occasion of their introduction and now, as he clasped her small fingers and bent low over them, she noted afresh his handsome features, dark, well-trained mustache and deep-fringed eyes, and her heart gave a little throb. And when he drew a chair close beside her and devoted himself to her amusement, beginning in a witty, impersonal vein, and then gradually lowering his mellow voice and talking on topics nearer to the heart of each, her cheeks burned at the thought which came to her unbidden—the thought that, if this man loved and wooed, how terribly irresistible he would be! Meanwhile the man beside her was congratulating himself on the prox- "What! Old Chicago Hunstan's daughter? Maurice, my boy, you're in Juck!" "I'm sure I hope so," drawled the other, languidly. "But there's nothing really settled yet. As a matter of fact, two were only introduced three days ago. She's quite a child, you know, and probably hasn't made up her mind. But I have!" "You seem beastly cocksure about it," remarked his friend, laughing. "But you won't have the field to yourself remember. A girl with twenty thousand a year gets plenty of offers, these days. Not but what you'd stand as good a chance as most, mind you; especially if the lady happens to be satisfied with a tolerable amount of good looks and the bearer of an ancient name." "Thanks awfully for the compliment," drawled Davenegh. "Claude, my, boy, you shall be best man at my wedding." "Right! But, I say, you mustn't lose any time, old man. If I were you, I'd push the business; pile on the presents, see her every day and pretend to be in deadly earnest—". "There won't be any pretense about that," interrupted Davenegh, with a laugh. "The lady has, to be exact, nineteen thousand, five hundred pounds a year, and I have—let me see now—three or four moderate racers waiting sale, a cantankerous uncle with a passion for longevity, a bag of debts and—the clothes I stand in!" "Not to speak of fairly decent conversational powers, nice eyes and a well-bred air—" Davengeh picked up a bulky volume from the table and poised it threateningly. The Honorable Claude laughed and, straightening his long legs, rose to depart. "Well, anyhow," he said, "I wish you luck, old man. Go in and win. You couldn't do better and the girl might do worse. Well ta-ta! See you again in a few days." As the door closed behind his friend, Maurice Davengeh pulled himself up slowly from the depths of the armchair. He crossed to the mantle, and, resting both arms upon it, surveyed his own reflection in the mirror. "The girl surely won't expect me to love her," he muttered; "that sort of nonsense is out of fashion nowadays. Besides, as Claude says, she might go farther and not do so well. After all, I'm not the worst sort they make, and I'll try and be good to her. No doubt the crudities and the accent will jar a bit at first, but I mustn't mind that. I'll have to gloss them over, pile on the jam and swallow the gilded pill. It's the only way out. 'Poverty and pickles' wouldn't suit me. I must marry 'The Marigold,' accent and all. Nineteen thousand a year! By Love! it's worth going for. Many a fellow has sold himself for half that. I'll take Claude's advice and start the wooling business at once—hang it!—yes, this's very afternoon!" The footman threw wide the door, and, Handsome, debonair, smiling, as though he had recently stepped out of a bandbox and hadn't a care in the world, Maurice Davenegh entered the room and received Lady Cheyne's somewhat effusive greeting with a courtly bow. The fair widow was delighted to see her visitor—for reasons. This young man was well born, well connected, heir—to a title and unattached—and Lady Cheyne had the chaperoning of a millionaire's daughter, at something substantial per month, with the promise of a lump sum down in the event of a satisfactory marriage. It was this lump sum that she was longing to finger. Chaperoning a pretty girl was all very well, but a trip to Monte Carlo or a flutter in circles where little debutantes were out of place and distinctly in the way was more to Lady Cheyne's taste. Neither of these indulgences was possible, however, as long as the heiress remained on her hands. As for Viollet, the girl rose from her skin with a feeling of undisguised pleasure. She had danced with him once—it was the occasion of their introduction and now, as he, clasped her small fingers and bent low over them, she noted afresh his handsome features, dark, well-trained mustache and deep-fringed eyes, and her heart gave a little throb. And when he drew a chair close beside her and devoted himself to her amusement, beginning in a witty, impersonal vein, and then gradually lowering his mellow voice and talking on topics nearer to the heart of each, her cheeks burned at the thought which came to her unbidden—the thought that, if this man loved and wooed, how terribly irresistible he would be! Meanwhile the man beside her was congratulating himself on the progress he seemed to be making. She would be an easy conquest, he told himself; even now she could hardly meet his gaze without drooping her eyes. What an unsophisticated miss she was, to be sure! It seemed almost a shame to deceive her. He took his leave at last, but that visit was only the first of many. Lady Cheyne was wise in her generation. She never mentioned his name to her charge, never broached the subject of marriage; but always kept a seat at the opera and a place in her carriage for the young man whenever he might choose to avail himself of them, which, to be candid, was not seldom. Thus the weeks sped on, and Maurice Davenegh's bill at the florist's grew by almost daily items. His friends, of course, congratulated and chaffed him, each in accordance with his particular temperament; but one and all envied him. He was in for a good thing, they said; with scarcely a thought for the fair, young victim who was dreaming her first love dream. Ah! Heaven. How sweet it was! Oh, that she need ever awake! * "And it is for me?"* The girl caught her breath as she looked at the star of brilliants lying in its velvet case, and her eyes sparkled. They were "sitting out" in the conservatory; within the dancing was in full swing. "For you," he said. "You think it is pretty?" "It is perfectly lovely. But—" She stopped abruptly and averted her face. "But not of any great value, eh?" He laughed. She turned swiftly. "You say that because I am a millionaire's daughter, and can buy what I choose; but one doesn't always value a thing according to its intrinsic worth." "Thank you for that speech," he said, earnestly. "Then you accept my offering?" "Willingly," she answered. "My only regret is that I can give you nothing in return; at least, nothing that you would care for." "Nothing?" Maurice took the white fingers in his own and compelled her to meet his gaze. Was the time ripe? Should he try his fate tonight? "but you really want," she half whispered. "I really wanted—something?" He tightened his hold on her fingers and bent lower till his breath fanned her cheek. What an emotional little soul she was! Quite different from any of those other girls he had made love to! He touched softly with his lips the hand he held. "If I really wanted this, would you give it to me—some day?" "Do you really mean it? Do you really mean that you love me?" Their eyes met. There seemed to be a wonderful story, a story that was written for him alone, on that face. It fascinated the young man, and for the first time he discovered that the girl was really beautiful. Her words, "You really mean that you love me!" repeated themselves persistently in his brain, and the look in her violet eyes thrilled him with a strange new feeling. But—love her? Ah, there was some one coming! "Yes," said a voice, which he recognized as that of the Honorable Claude's. "Davenegh's hooked her right enough. Nice little thing, but, of course, it's her money bags he's after. Ah, well! we've all got to marry some day—for love or lucre; but it's lucre in his case with a vengeance!" No more. The voices passed out of carshot. Stunned and dazed, Daveneghe dropped the hand he held, and the twain faced each other speechless. This, then, was the end. Daveneghe rose, and his face was almost as white as that of the girl beside him as, without speaking he drew Violet's trembling fingers through his arm and led her back to the ballroom. At the entrance they stopped, as if by mutual consent, and Daveneghe withdrew his arm. For a moment he let his deep eyes rest on the girl's stricken face, and there was love, remorse and bitter shame in their depths. Then, having uttered no word, he hurried away, with ashen lips and a heart full of a burning, blinding pain. He had insulted her beyond all hope of pardon, grieved her beyond all forgiveness, and—he loved her!. * For the next fortnight Lady Cheyne was at her wits end what to do with her charge. Day by day the girl grew whiter and thinner, like some lovely pale flower whose strength was gradually being sapped at the roots; yet, in spite of notes, letters and frantic letters, Maurice Davenegh made no sign, and finally it was ascertained that he had left town, destination unknown. It was in vain that Lady Cheyne fumed and fretted; there was nothing for it but to leave town also and try if the sea breezes would bring the color back to Violet's cheeks. It was a nulsance and fearful upsetting of plans; but the girl looked like a ghost, and people were beginning to talk. * "Come on, now; yer purse—quick! If ye holler—" The tramp raised his stick threateningly, and his grip on the girl's slender wrist tightened to an intensity that was painful. Violet Hunstan—for it was she—was trembling violently. In the middle of the road lay her bicycle, and she was covered with dust from head to foot. She gave a frantic look up and down the long road, but there was not a solitary being in sight. "Dye hear me? I ain't got no time to waste. Wot? Yer won't! Ho! we'll see!" Gripping her arms the ruffian forced her back against the bank, thrust one black hand over her mouth, and with the other begin--fumbling with her dress. The poor girl felt her senses going. She ceased to struggle, a queer haze came before her eyes and then then something bigand dark loomed up there was the sound of a heavy blow, followed immediately by something between a curse and a groan, and then —darkness! * * * * * * * * * "What a lucky thing you happened to be passing! I should never have forgiven myself otherwise." "Thank Heaven I was in time!" answered Davenegh, as he laid the unconscious girl on the sofa in Lady Cheyne's boudolr at the hotel. "Ah!" At that moment Violet opened her eyes, and as Maurice bent over the couch, Lady Cheyne discreetly withdrew. The girl looked up at him with a starfied expression; then, with a shiver, closed her eyes again. Nothing daunted, however, the man stooped down and gathered the shrinking form in his arms. "My darling," he cried, "can you ever forgive me?' Dearest, if you only knew how I have suffered! If you only knew how I love you!" The girl looked up wonderingly, wistfully, and then she knew! Those dark, deep eyes above her told their own story. Lady Cheyne's-house in Mayfair was reopened again, and society only knew that Sir Maurice Davenegh had been out of town for a month and that his rich uncle was dead. Of that tragic interval—the time between—they knew nothing. They never dreamed that he had left London because he had fallen in love with the girl he had vowed to marry for her money, and that but for the plundering propensities of a certain individual of the tramp fraternity, he would probably never have seen her again.

Dolbear. everything else then it cannot be described by its constant properties as other things are. If it be unlike everything else then it cannot be described by terms that apply to anything else. All material things have some common properties. A glowing coal is an incandescent solid, a flame is an incandescent gas, but neither glow nor flame exists apart from the matter that exhibits the phenomena. Both are conditions of particular kinds of matter. If electric phenomena are different from gravitative or thermal or luminous phenomena it does not follow that electricity is miraculous or that it is a substance. We know pretty thoroughly what to expect from it, for it is as quantitatively related to mechanical and thermal and luminous phenomena as they are to each other, so if they are conditions of matter, the presumption would be strongly in favor of electricity's being a condition or property of matter, and the question, "What is electricity?" would then be answered in a way by saying so, but such an answer would not be the answer apparently expected to the question. To say it was a property of matter would be not much more intelligible than to say the same of gravitation. At best it would add another property to the list of properties we already credit it with, as elasticity, attraction and so on. If, any case the nature of electricity remains to be discovered and stated in terms common to other forms of phenomena, and it is to be hoped that long before this new century shall have been completed, mankind will be able to form as adequate an idea of electricity as it now has of heat. The Happy Married Man's Face By Walter Beverley Crane. For the variations of the intensity of magnetic action, either from time to time, or as we proceed from place to place, are among the most interesting of all the phenomena of terrestrial magnetism. No one ever mistakes the good married man. It is only the erratic one who leaves you in doubt. The good one can protect all the unprotected females, and make himself generally agreeable to the ladies, and yet never leave a doubt on any mind that there is a precious little woman at home worth all the world to him. For we have seen already that from hour to hour, and from day to day, there are changes in the extent of the minute oscillations of the suspended magnet, and that these changes indicate variations in the intensity of the magnetic force under diurnal and annual solar influences. Roof garden students and astronomers, scientists and waiters, add to these variations a change which has a period corresponding to the motions of the moon, and it becomes evident that it is to an influence as subtle and as pervading in its character as gravitation itself that the terrestrial magnet owes its powers. Yes, there is an expression in the face of a good married man "that won't come off." What Business Men Demand of Boys put the question, "In your experience as a business man what sort of school training does a boy need?" The question applies, of course, only to boys untrammeled by requirements for admission to college. All were agreed that boys should leave school with a more thorough training in the rudiments of education, particularly in what used to be known as mental arithmetic. If I may generalize, let me say, to sum up, that business men ask: That our schools give boys a more practical training; that they guard against mental indigestion as we would against physical indigestion. That such training be more thorough, particularly in arithmetic and accounts. That more attention be given to English composition, spelling and penmanship. That the school (and, perhaps the home) teach the gospel of WORK, WORK, WORK! This lesson well learned will surely win promotion, give character, studying quality, persistence, stick-to-a-tiveness and, coupled with thrift, will enable any bright boy to grapple with the problems of life and to climb ambition's ladder—New England Grocer. Is the Education of Women With Men a Failure? By Dr. Ely Van de Warker. It appears that women have been made to believe, and the notion has been fostered by the equal suffragist cult, that if she were educated after the manner of man she could do man's work in the way that men do it. The sex problem is actually ignored as non-existent. No woman ever did man's work after his ways, or thought his thoughts after his manner of thinking. She is first unsexed and then treated co-educationally. There is no escaping from this conclusion; neither do the advocates of the method meet the question. They simply assert, dogmatically, that it is better for her to be so educated.—Harper's Magazine.

If it be a something it must be described by its constant properties as other things are.

To this end it seems to me our schools are doing excellent work. But in what, if any, respects do they fail to meet the demands of business men? In conversation with several men of large experience in my office, and as I have met them in bank counting room at lunch and elsewhere, I have OES co-education educate? This is the supreme question. If it prepares men and women for the higher utilities, if it insures to its graduates a broad culture and a high standard of character, and gives this to a degree equaled by the college for men, or the college for women, it must be given consideration. It does not, and, from the limitations with which co-education imposes, it cannot. Co-education is a hybrid bred from an unnatural union between two systems that contain irreconcilable differences. It presents no meth- GRINDING TEA INTO POWDER Makes as Good, If Not Better, Beverage Than Whole Leaf. History tells us that when coffee was first brought to the cities of western Europe the first makers of it were Turks. They roasted and ground the berries and served the liquor as it is served to this day in the East-grits and all. We still drink coffee as we drank it then, with this difference, that we mostly omit the grits and drink an infusion instead of a decoction. It was not so with tea. No Chinaman was imported with the first pound of tea to teach us how to make and drink it. The consequence has been that we have never drank tea in the Chinese way—that is, a simple infusion. At first there seems to have been great doubt as to how to deal with the new herb. It is even said that it was sometimes boiled, with salt and butter, and served up as a sort of spinach. The old phrase, "a dish of tea," seems to bear out this legend. Finally it came to be settled that the most wholesome and pleasant way to treat the tea leaf was to make it into a kind of sweet soup, with sugar and milk or cream. I have personal knowledge of no country in Europe but one where tea is used as in China—Portugal, which got its knowledge of tea-making from a province in China, with which, it that time, no other nation of Europe was in contact. It was while traveling on horseback with a guide in the wilder parts of Portugal, away from the shops and inns, where we had perforce to make experiments in the most economical use of a few ounces of tea and coffee that we could afford to carry with us, that we hit upon a discovery. Having no milk, we drank our tea, as most Portuguese drink theirs, as a simple infusion, sweetened with sugar. I remembered to have read, I believe, in the travels of Abbe Hue, that when the Chinese desire to be thrifty in the age of the finer and more expensive teas, they grind the leaf to powder and use less for the infusion. We 'ound that tea could be ground in a coffee mill as easily as coffee; that tea made with the powder is as good as or better than when made with the whole eaf, and that the powder, as it naturally would, goes further than the tea eaf. * WORDS OF WISDOM: Not failure, but low aim, is crime.—J.

Mark Guy Pearse, failing to appear at the time announced for the Old Salem Chautauqua, a substitute was introduced. It is always a thank's and difficult task, and one in which few do creditably. Much of the success of this substitute was no doubt due to his happy opening sentence. He said, "Did you ever call on a young woman with whom you anticipated a pleasant evening, and have her send down her little sister?" Here he paused a moment until the audience caught the significance of the single sentence, and when the hearty, applause had died away, he continued, "Little sister did not want to be there any more than you wanted her. But you no doubt made the best of a bad situation, and accepted your disappointment as gracefully as you could, and did not let little sister know how you really felt about it."-Talent. How a Forensic Fights. A dog never attacks a porcupine but once. If he survives, the lesson is enough to make him wise in the way, of porcupines ever after. Ordinarily, and when at ease, the quilts and hoary hair of the porcupine lie flat upon his back, but when angered he bristles up, and every part of him, even to his toes and the tip of his nose, is protected by the armament of sharp quills. His plan of fighting is wholly on the defensive, and so destructive is his veritable bayonet line to the attacking one that even the bear, the panther and the lynx will not molest him. That is why the porcupine knows no fear, and why he comes abruptly into camp and calmly investigates things. He has yet to learn that man and his unerring rife are far more deadly than even barbed and poisonous quills.—Los Angeles Times. Mule Raced With Train. A three mile race between a freight train and a yearling mule was witnessed here to-day, ending in a dead heat. The mule broke from its pasture just as the freight approached, and speeding along, the right of way kept by the side of the train for a distance of three miles. In the race the mule cleared three cattle guards and did not stop until it had reached the bridge over the Muscatuck, where it left the right of way. The freight was running not less than thirty miles an hour, and the trainmen kept watch on the mule from the caboose as it made its record breaking run.-Indianapolis Star. _"-7 QF AN ORCHARD. : Good Z, an Orchard, the Saint ealth, To. meditate on Ife and death, .

Mr. Brown nearly fell over backwards. “I—I believe I've actually forgotten the name of the place,” he gasped in dismlay, and then there was a hasty conference in the corner of the empty waiting zoom, with little Mrs. Brown. “Of course I didn't forget anything,” he explained to her, “but I remember- “ed that we hadn't exactly decided. But we will go to Uncle David's of course.” “Why of course?” queried the bride Tebelliously, “haven’t I just as much reason to want to visit my Aunt Ellen?” , “You may think you have,” he ad- mifted, loftily, “but woman-like, you have no doubt written a dozen long letters to your aunt and received. a ike number from her since our en- gagement, while Uncle David and I have scarce exchanged a Hine this sumi- er. - Besides~,” - “Resides what?” as he hesitated. “Didn't you promise at the altar not" two hours ago, to honor and obey me?” “It was certainly in the ceremony, which was not of my making,” was the reply, while a small nose, at no time Grecian, took on a more pronounced tilt: “However I said Yes, with a de- cided mental reservation.” “And that was?” + “When I wanted to.” “A very female trick,” he remarked, savagely. . 7 “At the moment when your mind should have been above scheming, and | wholly absorbed in the hol{ness of, your yows, you were providing for a’ possible contingency in which you ‘would find it desirable to disobey me.” “and the contiigency, it appears, ‘has arisen even sooner than I expected it,” with disdainful scorn, Mr. Brown flushed darkly. “Say no more about your Uncle David's,” she went on, “I will not be forced into obedjence to any man.” “Very well, as I shall not give up the reins of authority-to. any woman, we may as well say no more about your Aunt Ellen's.

As they entered, a tall silk hat and a Diack plumed Donnet nodded cheer- fully in-their direction. : “Nephow Charlle,” ceremontously announced his uncle; “this is your new aunt, Mrs, David Brown,” “Nlece Dorothy,” added her aunt, “allow me to introduce your new uncle, Mr. Brown.” “Aunt,” gasped the bride, “you're not even married—are you?” “We are indeed, my dear, ceremony performed not six hours since.

A REAL WAGONLOAD. Western Man Got 110 Persons Intc His Carrlage and Won, A hardware and implement firm in the West recently devised a unique scheme’ with phenomenal success, the climax proving not only amusing to the ngpulace, but profitable to the firm. ‘The firm sent to every farmer in thelt vicinity, several weeks prior to the event, @ circular offering a prize of $10 im gold to the person who, on 2 specified Saturday, would bring intc ‘thelr town on one vehicle of any de- scription the largest number of per- sons, the only requirement belng that they shovld arrive before noon and that each load of humanity should be counted by a member of*the firm in front-of their place of business. ‘That nearly every farmer in the two counties not only nibbled, but did his dest to run away with the bait, sinker and all, was demonstrated on the deslg- nated day, when from every direction, over every road, vehicles of all de- scriptions and conditions, some drawn by beasts of burden of the bovine spe- cles, but mostly by equines of pedigree and well-groomed appearance, began to pour Into the town, each convey- ance loaded to its capacity with men, women and children. They began coming soon after sun- rise and continued until nearly noon. ‘As each vehicle arrived and deposited its occupants in front of the establish- ment the crowd of sightseers as well ag contestants increased. ‘The number of persons brought fn by contestants varied from twenty to fifty until 10 otclock, when a man ar- rived with fifty-one. He thought he had the prize until another farmer came in at twenty minutes to 11 with a wagon fifty feet long carrying elghty- six persons, This was so far ahead of any other contestant and it was then so near noon that he figured, he could not Jose. , “You've got i€ to a certainty,” sald one of his party. “1 reckon that's what,” sald he, as he put his hands in his pockets and walked away. He could already feel the money jingling in his clothes. His confidence was so supreme that he bought a new hat and 2 new tle and then went to a barber shop and got # shave, haircut and a shine on the strength of his bellet that he had won the $10. But hardly had he emerged from the barber shop when a shout went up from tho crowd as they beheld ap proaching a vehicle the like of which was never before seen on the streets of this town, and protiably never will be seen again. ‘The conveyance was elghty-five feet long and twenty fect wide. It moved on eight wheels and was drawn by elght horses. Seated on the elongated vehicle were enough men and women, boys and girls to start a colony in Oflahoma or upom a reservation in Dakota. ‘THe man who held the reins with the skill of a circus driver over the eight herses was from a village of three houses and thirty persons, ufteen, miles away. He drove sround the square, followed by a throng of cheering per- sons, and proudly pulled up his octet of steeds at the proper place, svhere the load ‘of, laughing visitors were counted one by one.

There are now in this country more than 4000 coin col- lectors who systematically buy old coins and are always in search of new spécimens, : “They make trips abroad to Europe and other countries in quest of de- sired rarities. Some of them make trips of this character every year for no other purpose than to ransack the shops of dealers in odds and ends on the other side of the ocean in the hope of finding a treasure, which, as a matter of fact, they very often do. “Of course, there are thousands of ‘persons who casually gather old coins, indiscriminately, but I don't ‘take such collectors into ace count, So great Is the demand for ‘old colns nowadays that the supply does not begin to meet it. : “Most American collectors go in ‘for coins of United States Issue, Not “Much interest fg taken here in for- eign, and in the ancient Greek or “Roman colns, although they are the “rage abroad, “A good many collectors make 8 “specialty of gathering Colonial coins and the private gold Issues of North Carolina, Georgia and California, but the large old copper cent leads them all*in point of interest, Still other collectors go in for dfe varieties and mint marks. That small letter on a coin which shows the place of its mintage, makes all the difference in the world to a colfector and also in tho price. a . “For instance, a 20-cent plece of 1875 of the Philadelphia Mint Is worth just 25 cents, and yet a coin of'the same denomination of 1877 ‘or 1878, bearing the two tiny letters ‘C ©, for Carson City, will bring be- tween $10 and $15. “The dime of 1894 1s another exam- ple.

It is, just the same, and that sum was pald at a recent auction sale. : “Yet, such fs the inconsistency of coin collecting that a dollar of 1798, in good condition, can be bought for $2.50. The reason for this,is that all 1901 dollars ‘were struck in proof sets “and were limited, “Proof coins are made by burnish- ing the sheet of metal before the forth with a high polish. The low fig- wre of the 1798 dollar is due to the enormous number preserved In good condition, . “Many of the coins minted since 1850 bring premiums that greatly ex- eced those for coins issued during the latter part of the-18th century and the beginning of the 19th cen- tury. “A gold dollar of 1875 in proof con dition will bring $75. The three- dollar gold plece of 1873 1s worth $50. All three dollar gold pieces, in fact, with the exception of those minted at the Philadelphia Mint In 1855 and 1874, are worth premiums ranging up to $15. “The fourdollar gold plece of 1879 and 1850 is worth $75.

All of the silver three-cent pleces command premiums that range as high as $3, The nickel threecent Dlece of 1877 is worth $4, and the five- cent plece of the same year is val- ued at $3.50. “And, what will scem strangest of ail to the general public, the common bronze cent of 1877, in proof condi- tion, 1s quoted at $2.50, and even those which have been tn circulation fetch an advanced price. : “Die varieties mean more than one would suppose.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 20, 1906. Tom Dixon's Clansman is being criticized for its unworthiness by the New York papers. It is about time for him to see that he is disgusting the papers with his measly play. VARDAMAN, the blackguard governor of Mississippi, like Jeff Davis of Arkansas has gone daft in hatred for a race that has done so much for the development of the South and especially the two states mentioned. ONE of our oldest exchanges, the American Baptist, recently entered into its 28th year of publication. Editor Stewart is commended for his publication and THE TRIBUNE hopes for him many more years of usefulness and prosperity. SEVERAL white men are now charged in the courts with assaulting colored women whom they called upon to collect. We have so often urged our people not to allow these insulting collectors to call at their homes. All of them should get the habit of patronizing their own business men anyhow. LAST week THE TRIBUNE spoke of the manner in which the marshal of the United States Court is reported to have dealt with a colored citizen who was in the court room. It is assured that Judge Speer would not for a moment countenance such action. This young marshal should learn that he is not the law within himself. RECENTLY the President offered Hon. J. C. Napier of Nashville, the consularship at Bahia, Brazil. This was refused with thanks. The Morning News commenting on it says that the "President has discovered that not every Negro wants to hold an office." Yes and we have the first time to know of a white man to refuse a presidential appointment such as in this case. LAST week the Supreme Court decided in the Pearson case from Macon, that municipal courts can not sentence prisoners to the chain gang without a trial by jury. This is the view taken by many well known lawyers. The first attempt to test this law was made over a year ago by the late Lawyer E. M. Morse, and everything pointed to his success. About that time he became seriously ill and died which terminated the case. The present case was presented by Lawyer Akerman of Macon, U. S. district attorney. Hereafter the recorder will not sentence men to the chain gang but in serious cases bound these men to the city court. Threats are already made though, that the sentence of those found guilty will be greater. This threat seems to be made in a spirit of resentment, which should never actuate those in authority. LAST month the city council placed a prohibitory license of one thousand dollars on dance hall or "funks" that were ran in connection with bar rooms. At the last meeting of the council attempt was made to have the license reduced to two hundred dollars. This was opposed by Alderman Oliver backed up by a strong petition from a few colored citizens. The ordinance will be placed on its passage at the next meeting of the council. In the meantime efforts should be made by each person against this ordinance to reach the aldermen and in some way protest against this reduction of license. The petition of the colored citizens is short and to the point as follows: Information is cleansed from the daily papers that efforts will be made at your meeting to-night to reduce the license on dance halls. We hope that this is erroneous and that you gentlemen will not reconsider the amount for license that you so wisely placed on these places of infamy. In behalf of our law-loving citizens and those who are endeavoring to better the condition of their people, we appeal to you not to reconsider this matter which if done, will be the means of further degrading and enticing into-erime a class of our people that we are anxious to reclaim. Your earnest consideration and favorable opinion in this matter will be heartily appreciated. At the recent meeting of the Southern Cotton Association in New Orleans, three opinions were given as to the result of colored labor in the South. One H. S. Scott of Vardaman's state, says that as a laborer the colored man has proven to be a failure, that his usefulness in the cotton field has about come to an end, and that before many years he would cease to be a factor in the labor of the South. / Mr. Clarkson, of Tennessee spoke of the wonderful development of the South since the civil war, being mainly the result of colored labor. He said that if the colored man was treated as foreigners would be, he would be the better and the more desirable laborer. The most practical observation was given by Mr. Thompkins of North Carolina, whose work along labor lines is well know all over the country. He holds that there is no such scarcity of labor as there appears to be from newspaper reports. The present situation, he says, is more where work is plenty and wages fair than one in which labor is scarce. He capped it by saying that there is an ample supply of labor, where fair wages are paid. The views of these two latter gentlemen are the correct one. That of Mr. Scott, show that he is not conversant with the labor of this section and if he is, he is not inclined to treat the subject fairly. It has always been our opinion so often expressed, that if the farmers would treat their laborers fairly by giving them proper returns for their labor, there will be no complaints whatever. Race Pride. Good judgment should be exercised by the Negro in all the business walks of life. If a Negro is trying to carry on a business whereby to give employment to members of the race where white people will not give them an equal show, the benefit should be given and the advantage taken. There are Negroes who will grin and beg a white man to take his money for the same goods that some Negro has for sale as cheap and to better advantages. That same white man would not employ that Negro's son or daughter or give them positions as clerks in his store for any consideration. Yet Negroes will rush with a grin on their faces to spend their money with them when Negroes are carrying on the same business with colored clerks and making room for this fool class of Negroes who bow to a white man and call him "marster"—Plain Dealer, Topeka Kansas. Masonic Notes. Many lodges are lagging in returning names andaddresses of newly elected officers. The Grand Secretary wants to send out his quarterly list but is hampered by not receiving these names and addresses. The Craftmen in the city were proud to have in their midst last week, Most Worshipful Grand Master, H. R. Butler, who attended the Bishop's Council of the A. M. E. Church, as one of the three laymen of the entire connection to select a place for the meeting of the next General Conference. While the Grand Master had but little time to be with the brethren, yet received a cordial greeting from those whom he met. He attended Hilton Lodge communication on Wednesday and had a chance to meet a few of the brethren at dinner the next day. Bro. Butler has no more loyal set of members than those in Savannah, who are proud of the manner in which he is managing the affairs of the Jurisdiction. Only three more months before annual reports are to be made. Get ready and have your Lodge to make the best showing that it has ever made. P. M., J. T. King of LaGrange has done good work in getting together the old members of Rising Star Lodge again Brethren in other section where weak lodges are should do likewise. We had three Grand Masters in the city last week; M. W., E. W. Lampton of Mississippi; M. W., J. H. Dickerson, of Florida and our own beloved Grand Master. Metropolitan Colony. The Metropolitan Mercantile, and Realty Company bough for a party of gentlemen, last week, a large tract of land and will be known hereafter as Metropolitan Colony. This name was adopted by those who will occupy this splendid piece of property of which they are ten in number with they families. The tract is exactly 69 miles from Savannah or half way between here and Jacksonville on the main line of the S. A. L., and intersects with the Atlantic Coast Line at Bladen, Glynn County and contains 650 acres of good timber land and is suitable for most of the products of the market, also cotton. Mr. L. C. Braswell, Mr. J. P. Smith are the promoters of the schema and are to be congratulated on getting this very desirable tract. Mr. J. W. Armstrong went down and closed the deal and say it is easily worth $4,000. 1 The members and friends of the church enjoyed each of the services on Sunday last by attending in large numbers. Rev. J H May of St. Louis Mo., preached during the day. His sermon in the morning was listened to attentively by his hearers, and they immediately classed him as a divine of no mean ability and a gospel expounder who adds strength to the cause. His impressive manner at the communion service was also noted. The sermon at night was another good one that edified his hearers. The services seemed to have given the members of the church renewed impetus and was quite a reminder of the days when the church had a regular pastor. The large number of visitors was noted and the collection was good. Rev. May will preach a special sermon tomorrow morning from an important subject. He will also preach in the evening. He leaves on Monday for home via Montgomery and Nashville. Rev. May is reported to be a successful pastor in every respect and in all holds the confidence and respect of those whom he has labored among. He has made a favorable impression on the people. "NUF SED" USES A BIG SPOON. Dishes Out Advice to Society Folk's Dear Mr. Editor: To use Shakespeare's words, "when I was and a little tiny boy," I used to hear it said that "man by nature is a social being," which most of us believe—of course there is a class of people who wear "sour" faces and are not sociable to anybody, but perhaps they are not men; I don't know what you would call them unless you call them the "sour faces." So far as I am concerned I enjoy being in company provided that company is not merely a gathering of "gossipers"—you know some of our people's tongues are just so unruly until they just "got to do some talking." This idle class do nothing but create strife and contention. But as I was saying, it is good to be in company whether it be in school writing each other letters on slates, making shy bashful glances as fairorous maldens and youths; courting and entertaining as young ladies and gentlemen or enjoying the pleasures of matrimonial life because "manis by nature, a social being." Our manners then will go a long ways in bringing good impressions on those with whom we come in contact—of course, manners are not the whole "show" because if you are just ordinary "glass" no amount of polishing will make you a "diamond," you may fool some people by your "glitter" but this will be simply on account of their ignorance of real manhood and womanhood. But just as the expert can tell true diamond from polished glass, so the true gentleman and lady can tell that real gentleman and lady when they come into contact with them. Now then it is better to be a "rough diamond" containing qualities of sound character than to be a dazzling glass," because whenever this diamond and glass meet. Miss or Mr. Glass when aside of Mr. or Miss Diamond is going to look like a little "cut-tail yellow dog," aside of an English Grayhound at a dog show. So in the first place, you must possess those great characteristics which the world has ever honored and esteemed as making up the noble gman or the true woman. Mr. Editor, I am often very, much surprised to see from time to time as I go around from place to place even the simplest laws of etiquette being violated by those who should know better. But don't get the understanding that I approve the altogether too much formality which I occasionally meet with, because you know there is a class of people who are actually afraid to open their mouths to say good morning, because—well I was going to say for fear their false teeth may fall out but that is not the reason, because they are entirely too "Prim." This class is almost as objectionable as the class of "gossipers" who are growing "how-legged" as a result of carrying such a heavy lot of tales and slanders about their fellow men. It is my purpose to say a few words about "Introduction" in this letter. It is always as a rule, a pleasure to meet people and knowing that the "first impression last longest," we should know all concerning introductions. Introductions, to be agreeable, should be desired before being given, care should be taken not to force upon another any unpleasant or undesirable acquaintance because when we introduce a person we endorse, so to speak, the character of that person. Do not introduce people in public places. Do not, as a rule, introduce two people who are inhabitants of the same town; it is to be supposed that they could have known one another had they cared so to do. Do not introduce gentlemen to ladies without first being sure that the acquaintance will be agreeable to the lady, since it is much more difficult for a lady to snake off an undesirable acquaintance than it is for a gentleman. Introductions at evening parties are very much out of state except it is for painters in dancing or unless they should be so many strangers present as to threaten overwhelming the entire party in speechless gloom. Recollect to introduce the gentleman to the lady, never the lady to the gentleman, except in the case of very exalted rank, extreme age, or the possession of great eminence in intellectual or artistic life. The chivalry of etiquette assumes that a man is always honored by presentation to a lady. The simplest form in presenting one person to another is always the best. A wife presents her husband as "Mr. North," "Col. North" or "Doctor North," always giving him his rightful titles. In introducing a gentleman to a lady one should say, "Mrs. A. allow (or permit) me to introduce (or present) Mr. B.; Mr. B., Mrs. A." being sure that the names are distinctly understood. If this should not be the case, let the parties themselves ask it afonce, a simple "I beg pardon, I did not understand the name," saving much further annoyance. The writer is indebted very largely to "Social Culture" by Maud O. Cooke. More follow. Yours truly. P. S. I hear that the Men's Sunday Club is going to celebrate Lincoln's birthday at Masonic Temple February 12th, by a grand program so I suppose; I had better begin trimming up my lamps so I won't get lost in the shuffle. St Phillips Dots. Last week was a great week with our church. We had visiting Bishops and General Officers of all the A. M. E. Churches of America and Africa and in fact of all parts of the world in attendance at the Bishop's Council. St. Phillips did her best in entertaining them while at our church and they were much pleased with what they saw of our congregation. Bishop Tyree preached at 11 a.m. on Sunday. His discourse was very good and gave food for thought. Among those present at 11 a.m., were Bishops Tyree, W. D. Chappelle, General Superintendent of all the A. M. E. Sunday Schools of A. M. E. churches, Rev. L. H. Smith, ex-pastor, Presiding Elder R. S. Taylor, Rev. W. B. Ross and Rev. J. A. Lindsay our present pastor) At 4 p.m. Dr. W. D. Chappelle addressed the Sunday School which was beneficial to the children along various lines. Bishop Lee, Mr. R. B. Reppard and other distinguished divines made short addresses to the children. At 8 p.m. Bishop Smith of Africa preached to one of the largest congregations that has gathered at our church for some time. His discourse was listened to and enjoyed. Dr. Collet, the general business manager of the great book concern at Philadelphia was also present and gave a short talk after services which was timely and of much benefit. On the account of the Bishops' Council being in session last week our quarterly conference was not held on Friday night. Through Train A. C. L.

He has been in bed health for quite awhile but by 2 great amount of will power he managed to hold his own, and when death came, none of his friends expected it. . ‘To have known Mr. Wright was to like him, He was of aa excel- lent disposition and friendly in all of his bearing. No one can be found to say aught against him. He has been for nearly ten years collector for Julius Kaufman and his estate, and many <are the poor colored families that he has prevented from being turned out of doors. These people and his host of freinds have only worda of commendativn for him, mourn’ his death and condole with his be- reaved family. Mr Weight was one of the staunch friends of Tux TriBunz, the man- agement of which will never forget his many favors. He was a mem- ber: of the Brotherhood Union, Sons of Eastville, Union Brother- hood, Imperial] Aid and Social ‘Club, Ladies Union and Western Aid.

One of the Jast and most com- mendable work of the deceased was the effort to encourage a large turn out of the yarious institutiong on Emancipation Day, It was mainly through his efforts and his easoci- ales that thie was done. Mr. Wright leaves a loving wife, a duughter, three brothers Messrs Albert W., E. L. and Jobn H. Wright; two aunts, and other re- latives avd a host of friends to mourn his death.

Nut Puffs, Déliclous nut pufts for afternoon tea are made with a cupful and a half of four, a cupfyl of milk, a saltspoonful of salt, two teaspoonfuls of sugar, three eggs and a quarter of a cupful of ground nuts. Beat the mixture fof fifteen minutes and bake, in gem pans that lave been previously heated in a hot oven. ¢ Almond and Date Cakes. |, For almond and date gems, stir the “well beaten yolks of two eggs into’ a pint of sweet milk and add a teaspoon- ‘ful of salt ani three cupfuls of flour, sifted with a teaspoonful of baking powder, Then add a cupful of dates and almonds in equal proportions, chopped very fine. Fold in the stifly beaten whites of the eggs and bake in buttered gem tins. Apple Gems. To make apple. gems, have ready tour large sour apples peeled and minc- ed. With them, mix a quarter of a cupful of molasses, an egg beaten.well, half a teaspoonful of soda dissolved in 2 ttle hot water and a cupful and a halt each of fine cornmeal and flour alfted with a teaspoonful of baking powder. Stir in enough sweet milk to make @ thin batter and bake in but tered gem tins, . Bread Griddle Cakes. Yor bread griddle cakes, which are an excellent expedient for using up stale bread, soak a pint of crumbs in milk to cover them until they are soft. Then add a cupful of flour sifted with a heaping teaspoonful of baking powder, a well beaten egg, a. level salt- spoonful of salf and milk to make a thin batter. If sour milk fs used use half a teaspoonful of soda in place of the baking powder, dissolving it in a little warm water. Apple Johnny Cake, Apple Johnny cake 1s famous among New Englanders.

Stir in “three sour apples that have been peeled and cut into thin slices, Bake In a shallow tin in @ moderate oven for 25 minutes, Useful Hints. a Do not use cracker crumbs for cov- ering croquettes; they will’not brown. ‘A small square of asbestos kept on the ironing board will save the iron- ing sheet. Vegetables with’ the exception of potatoes and onions, should be pur- chased each day, A broad-bladed spatula ts the han- ‘dest of kitchen tools Yor lifting cro- -quettes for.an egg mixture. Few people care to bother making pickles, as there arp so many kinds to be bought very cheaply. . Always use a wooden spoon, and the best vinegar you can buy, boiling this in an enamelled spucepan. An old rule for plain apple griddie cakes is half a pint of chopped apples into a quart of ordinary griddle cake batter. It is a woll-known fact that all vege- tables which grow beneath the ground shoulé be put on to boil in cold wat- er, those which grow above into boil- ing water, This will ensure a suc- cessful result. If a croquette mixture stick to the palms while it is being shaped, dip your hands In cold water and begin again, Never fry croqueftes in a draft; they will crack. A cleaning fluld may be made of fice tents’ worth of saltpeter, ammonia and shaving soap dissolved in one quart of rain water, It is good for a thousand things. It takes the grease ‘out of carpets beautifully, Cold vegetables should néver be thrown away. Cauliflower, beans, peas, whole potatoes, etc., make dell- cious salads with the addition of oil and vinégar dressing, and a little chopped parsley. 3 Remove the outside leaves from a nice red cabbage, cut into four parts, taking off the stalks, and cut it inte very thin slices. A Natural Remedy, . ‘That the remedy is sometimes worse than the disease {s again shown by an ineldent chronicled in the New York ‘Times. A prominent politician has a wife who {s a model of domestic care- fulness. She has a talent for making ‘bread, and takes great pride in hav- ing her loaves turn out well. One evening ske had set the batch of dough to rise in the kitchen and ‘was reading in the parlor, when her 6- year-old boy came runninggo her, cry- ing, “Mamma, mamma, there's a mouse jamped into your bread-pan?” ‘The good woman sprang from her seat, - “Did you take him out?” she asked frantically. “No'm, but I dono just as good.

Weak legs are due to improper feeding. The pigs will do pretty well while withthe sow pro- vided they do not get too much corn, and they will develop very well on good pasture, but when confined to a corn diet they can’t develop good, strong bone. Milk and grass contain bone making materlal, but corn does not, Bone meal, soft codl, wood ashes alfalfa hay or grasses, and such feeds as contain plenty of bone bullding ele- ments, will balance the corn diet, Go easy On corn except when putting on the finishing touches of market hogs. Just because it is an easy feed to throw out: does not make it 2 proper feed. Turn your hogs and plgs out on a 00d pasture and keep them on grass till fall. Don’t feed swill They will spend too much time squealing at the gate. Give them good water. Those hogs will look large boned and gaunt all summer. You may be ashamed to show them tp anybody, but stick to grass and water. In the fall, when corn fs fit, feed it; or, bet- ter still, start them on old corn gradually and then watch theso slab sided porkers fill in the chinks. And they will do it so rapldly and so cheap- ly you will be surprised. There's no sense In feeding corn all summer—if ‘you have pasture. For Barb Wire Cuts. When a horse has been injured on wire the first thing to do is to stop the flow of blood; this may as a rule be done by bandaging It up tight. It may also frequently be best to apply pow- dered alum or common saleratus, both of which will generally be found effec- tive. In a few hours considerable swelling will set in; this should be re- duced either by applying cold water frequently or, what Is really better, apply pure kerosene oll not only to the wound but also to the swollen parts; No bandage should be kept on where kerosene is used as it will then cause the hair to fall off temporarily and as soon as {t Is safe to do so, the sore should be carefully washed with soft water and castile soap. This ought to be repeated daily until the sore heals, One of the best healing medicines for horseflesh that I have ever used can be put up at any drug store, as follows: One-half pint of alcohol; one-half pint spirits of tur- pentines one ounce of pure glycerine; mix all together in a large bottle and shake well before using. Apply only with a feather at morning and night. ‘The sore should never be bandaged. By dally washing it will in this way heal up very rapidly. I can person~ ally testify to the effectiveness of this simple remedy as we have made use of it in numerous cases avith the best reSults where every other remedy we tried failed to heal up the sore on the horse—Tewls Olsen In the Epltomlst, Fat and a Persistent Milker, W. K. S, North Bennington, Vt: 1 am sixty years old and have dealt in horses all the days of my life. 1’ want you to tell me, just how to feed and take care of a three and a halt year old cow; I know little about cows, and I raised this one for the fun of ‘seeing it grow up. The sire is a ‘Durham, the mother a Devon, She is a good sized red cow, always fat. ‘She came in last year on September 10, and had no trouble; she gave lots of milk. I tried to dry her off six weeks ago, as she {s coming fresh soon, But I could not entirely. She commenced making bag about Sep- tember 16. Now she. has got quite a bag full. Sfie has got a poor pasture. She has had all summer two quarts of bran, wheat and corn twice a day until September 1. Then I stopped. Now I, give her a pumpkin at night and one quart of coarse bran, a plot of ground oats and a gill of oflmeal very wet in the morning. I thought this would keep her bowels in better shape. She {s fat. ‘The front quarters of her bag are full; the hind ones not so full, I am keeping her in the barn nights, If,you Will let me know what to do when she comes in and after I will be very much obliged. I have carefully looked over yout letter and manner of feeding and care -of this cow and I have no better ad- vice to give you than to keep on as you are doing. ‘This cow for her breeding’ is a remarkable milk produc- ing cow. If you have any trouble with her it will be, I think, with her going back in milk flow after’ she calves. As she has been milking up 60 near to calving I would not advise you now to try to dry her up, but continue to milk her right along. After the calf fs born, slowly Increase her feed, but Iet it, be largely wheat middlings and wheat. brai, with some oats added.

Accord- ing to the care received will they be worth much or little in: the spring. How often we see runty, stunted calves and colts starving out the first and best years of their lives In 2 barn- lot of barren pasture! Some are sure to die before spring and those that live through the winter will not be worth half what they should have been; and no amount of care and feed can ever make up to them for these first starved years. If your colts and calves are round and plump in the fall {t will cost you far less to winter them througa and they will be one- fourth larger and much more ‘valuable in the spring than if you let them be- gin the winter thin in flesh and with coats that stand the wrong way. If the colt, calf, plg or lamb Is worth rais- ‘ing at all, it is worth raising well. ‘Sore people have the mistaken notion ‘that even if farm animals are stunted | the first year or two, they will likely “come out and make a fair sized anl- mal in time.” Young stock should be thrifty; they should be kept growing. Care should be taken that their growth is never checked at any time. To do this théy should have plenty of feed, ot the proper kind and of the right amaunt, Give them sufficient for their needs but not enough to, be Ieft over and wasted, and seé that cach animal gets the feed Intended for it, They should be fed and yarded by them- selves where you can give them a Iit- tle extra care and supervisio&, Clean up the lots and put things in order. It 1s not too late to attend to these things, go out now and see what needs doing most. See about shelter, bed- ding, mangers, racks and feed boxes. Don't forget the wind breaks. Few farms, have a wind break of any sort and poor neglected stock stands shiv- ering in the wind on almost every farm; not only cold, but hungry ag well.—Epitomist. Crop Rotation. ‘The State Experiment Station, lo- cated at the University of Hlinols, is conducting a series of investigations in regard to tho comparative value of different crop rotations, ‘Three dif- ferent systems are being Investigated. First, the continuous cropping with corn; second, a two-ycar rotation with corn and oats; and, third, a three-year rotation with corn, oats and clover. ‘The results of the experiments show that the largest crop of corn can be raised in the three-year rotation, and that when Imestone and steamed Donemeal are applied, the yield 1s greatly increased, ‘Where these systems have been fol- lowed for a number of years the latest yields obtained (1901) were 40 bushels per acre with the continuous corn sys- tem; 49 bushels of corn after oats in the two-year rotation, and 75 bushels or corn after clover in the three-year rotation. : Op other fields, on the same kind of soll, where these three systems have ‘been followed for twenty-eight years, the largest corn ylelds were 22 bush- els per acre where corn has been grown continuously, 36“ bushels of corn after oats in the two-year rota- tion; and 59~bushels of corn after clover in the three-year rotation. The ylelds of the ficlds thus cropped for twenty-elghtayears have fallen be- low the ylelds of the fields cropped for only ten years, as follows: Eighteen bushels decrease (40 to 25) where corn is grown continuously; 13 bush- els decrease (49 to 36) where corn fol- Jows oats in the two-year rotations and 16 bushels (75 to 50) where corn follows clover in the three year rota- tion, Where ground limestene and steam- ed bonemeal are being applied in the three year rotation, the yleld for 190% being 98 bushels of corn per acre. * To'seo one field of corn which ylel only 22 bushels and another whi yields 96, growing side by side, on t| same kind of soll, and from theesa: Idnd of seed, and both receiving th same kind of cultivation is an obj lesson not soon to be forgotten.

They are to be thought of, jand appreciated, and even sought, ffouna and kept. We must bive them. Room for the active lfe of a growing wbellef is indiepensable.

Here we must de serious and certain. It fs a fine intimation and a Lopetut Indication that, in some respects, at. Jeast, we are equal to the demands, iWe do desire foundations which can- not be destroyed. Here we are serious enough when we are serious at all, We do not wish to be deceived with reference to these things. We dellb- fetately prefer not to have our fountafns of life poisoned.

We do desire the solid aud safe thinzs of the Immutable veritles of truth which will stand the tests. “If the foundations be destroyed what can the righteous! 02” ° + The strongest emphasis of our times, porecially in matters of religion, is be- ding placed upon the demand for the real. Notwithstanding the prevalent superficiality of our age,. the quick sales of birth-rights for pottage, the heated passion for pleasure, the gaudy show of those who “glory in appeer- ance and not in heart; notwithstand- ing the fact that ‘we are living in “grievous times” when so many are “lovers of self, lovers of money, boast- fal, haughty, railers, disobedient to parents, unthankfui, unholy, without: natural’ affections, implacable, slaider- ers, without self-control, fierce, no lov- ‘ers of good, traitors, headstrong, puffed mp, lovers of pleasure rather than lov- ers of God, holding a forin of godliness ‘but denying the power thereof,” not- qvithstanding the fact that in the very | ‘church, itself, there are certain oscilla tory movements caldulated to perturb the life of some believers; notwith- standing all, these things, and many more, still.the underlying current is to- yrard the fuller and freer life. and the ‘immediate and increasing demand in the religions life is of the “assurance, of things hoped for, the proving of things not seen,” and for that certitude of knowledge which enables the indi- yidnal bellever to stand upon some in-] destructible foundation and say, “I know whom I have belleved, aud am persuaded that He is able to guard that which I have committed unto Him agalost that day.” Good fs deeper than evil even in per- sons who do not profess to be good. |. The oscillations of belief may be per- mitted of God Biss and end in}: doing much good for the commdn faith |. of Christendom. The unsettled condi- |: tion of certain moods of faith may only |’ reveal at Jast that there are some things whjch éan not be shaken and]: must remain.

Professor}: SE es gre ee ee eee ee the shaking up in order that we may thavye the removing of those things that ‘are shaken, as of things that are made, that’ those’ things which can not be ‘shaken may remain. Ours has been ‘ealled an “age of-doubt,” but the evi. dence and proof of the claim are not altogether satisfactory. Professor James says: “Our religious life lies more, and our practical life Jess, than itused to on the perllous edge.” But does not, the professor attempt to draw a distinction where no: distinction be- longs? Is not our religious life, in fact ard in fine; a practical life? Are not the ‘most practical deeds in tl world born of religion? Good ilfe, good thoughts, good words, good deeds belong to re- Higion whether they be done in this or that church, or bear no ecclesiastical stamp atall, Reality is at a premium 4n the religion of to-day. Let us be- Ueve that the demand for the real, the desire to investigate, the new state- ments of old truths, the rewriting of ‘gomp theology, the revising of pee mel, the call for a new adjustment of things, do not invariably imply the “exiftence of doubt and tho destruction ‘ot/the: foundations of belief. If, in- g this be doubt, then it Is not the d of doubt that we need to year, Iz ese. things destroy our foundations, ‘will prove ‘iothing more than that e were on temporary aud desiructible foundations, when we should/bave had Something better. "" King calls our attention to the fact ee Re a eS ae en ee ee eee ogy, £0, in the same sense, the accept- ance of certain great convictions of out day calls for a rewriting of theology— a new theology.” Call it a new theol- ogy if you will, but do not let prejudice blind You to trath, no matter from whieh direction truth may come. A thing fs true not because its statement fs old, nor yet because that statement is new, but because it conforms to the great fact, or facts, for which that truth stands. The great fact, or facts, back of ‘the truth and its statements, do not change. Theological statements and systems may charge. Some per- tons may become avgry, others fright- ened. and still others ‘foolishly and Hippantly declare that they have no theology; but, in the meantime, theol- ogy remains the greatest science in the universe, even the sclence of' God and divine things, based upon a reve- lation made of God, through Jesus Christ; and that selencg, itself as suck, dogs not change. God's foundations are frm amid all the mutations which mark thé blatory of the human race; amid all the storms and shocks; amid all the disintegrating agencies; amid the rise and fall of empires; amid ue birth, the growth, maturity, the old age and death of nations; amid things present and things.to come, life and death, in spite of everything that may oppose, or 2s- | sall, belief, character, hope, love, in- corruptible life all may have perfectly indestructible foundations. What are some of these foundations? Religious experience; that {s an experience of God in the soul of man fs an inde- structible foundation, Such exper- Jence is knowledge derived from fact “and abiding in spiritual consciousness, “God is a spirit.” Man Is a’ spirit. ‘There is possible contact and commun- jon here. There is the possibility of the best knowledge In the world right ‘here. Fact, evidence, proofs, knowl- ‘edge, they ‘ae all here. Knowledge has found.the’proof; proof implies the existence of ihe evidence, evidence implies the existence and reality of the fact, white the primary. datum abides in experience. | When a man has a religious experi- ence then he has an indestructible foundation. He cannot then be morally. ignorant. He knows something, That which a man sees may decelve him, | ‘That whick he bears may not always be so, but that which he knows, he knows, and no may can take ft from him. He is upon a foundation which cannot be destroyed. Then faith finds her best function in establishing the fact, in dealing in the great uuseen realities which are always more than the seen, in giving the “assurance of things hoped for, in proving things not seen.” A man cannot subject such an esperience to the test of the natural senses, It is too large for such a test as that, but he knows he is right, and he knows he is upon an indestructible foundation. It is not only our knowl- edge of God, There is another inde- structible foundation in His knowledge of us, It is written: “Howbeit the firm foundation of God standeth, hav- ing this seal, the Lord knoweth them that are His.” He cannot mistake. We conld not decelve Him, even though we might deceive others, or be decelved by! what we might suppose to be experi- ence, even religious experience, even though we might deceive ourselves.’ God knows. Of this we are certain. He knows us perfectly. If we are His, He knows ft. If we are not His, by the regeneration of the Holy Spirit, we may become His, He will know. He’ will cause us to know it. “The secret, of the Lord ts-with them that fear Him.” He desires it to be there. Every mian bas just as much right to know that he {s alive spiritually as be, does that he fs allve physically, This knowledge is brought to us in the wit ness of God's spirit. Thus it is tbat. we go deeper than religious experience’ and find another foundation in that firm foundation of God—His knowledge of us. Jesus Christ is another founda-! tion. He is our chief cornerstone. The, ideals He holds, His simplicity, His: grandeur, His humanity, His Deity, His faith, His love, His life—all com- bine to make Him the perfectly {ncom- parable one among all religious teach- ers; and while in a certain profound sense Christ and Christianity are one and inseparable, there is still another sense-in which Christ, as our founda- tlon, is more than Christianity, even as the sun ig more than the multitudinous rays which fall upon our Ittle portion of the earth; Christ is more‘than Chris- Hanity, as the thinker is more than his |. thought, as life is more than that which embodies life. We build, a3 Christians, not upon this or that creed ibout Christ, but upon Christ Himself, He is our indestructible’ foundation. Our fatth rests at last, not in a creed, though we should all have a creed, .od not in a book, though we can never lo without the Bible, but in a person, ind that person, Christ, places our ives upon God. Let us resolre to go deeper, deeper. if We-are at all unsettled in’ matters if religion, we should not despair. We an find the solid and the safe. Let 1s build there.

It speaks of disaster and death, of rejoicing and devotion. In England {t often tells of old times and quaint customs. Mr. Ditchfleld, in 2 book on Old England, gives some of the traditions handed down through the “tintinnabulation of the bells.” In some parts of the country the bell which tolls the old year out ts called the “Old Lad’s Passingbell.” Jn western England the bells peal merrily on “Oak Apple Day,” to cele: brate the escape of King Charles at Boscobel. Another bell, rung at the beginning of Lent, is known as “Pan- cake Bell,” because, in old time phrase, it “summons people away from their pancakes to confession and fast- ing.” A lively peal of bells fs often rung at the end of the Sunday morning ser- vice, and is called “Pudding Bell.” Perhaps is purpos /s to announce tc the stay at homes that service is over and that the pudding ‘may come out of the oven.
