Presbyterian University Assured. Presbyterian University Assured. The Presbyterian university or high grade college suggested by the Georgia synod in session at Griffin in November last, now appears to be a certainty. All the latest indications are, that the school will be located in Atlanta. The special committee named by the synod to devise ways and means for the accomplishment of the task indicated and which met in the office of the home missions in Atlanta a day or two ago will be convened again January 27, when what may be considered as a prospective finality will be reached. Ownership of Paper an issue. Alleging that an illegal transaction contrary to the by-laws of the company has been entered into between Charles Daniel, business manager and secretary of the Atlanta News Publishing company, with Samuel Spencer, president of the Southern railway, by which a controlling interest in the Daily News has been secured for the Southern railway and the Central of Georgia, railway, John Temple Graves, editor of the News, was granted an injunction in the Fulton superior court, restraining the defendants from in any way changing the status or ownership of the paper. The hearing was set for January 27. Will Remove Offices to Atlanta. The headquarters and general offices of the Atlantic and Birmingham railroad company, which are at Waycross, will be moved to Atlanta. The change in the location of the general offices will include the executive, auditing, general freight and passenger departments. The offices of the superintendent, purchasing agent, and the operating department and general stores of the company will remain in Waycross. ```markdown ``` P. EDWARD PERRY, Vice President. The removal is brought about by the decision of the company to continue its line to Atlanta, which will necessitate the company to have its headquarters in that place. John Floyd, a lineman in the employ of the Southern Bell Telephone company, was shot to death at the top of a pole near Savannah and Jesse Roundtree, a fellow lineman, was arrested, charged with the crime. Roundtree denied the allegation, and claims that he can prove an alibi. Roundtree had been displaced by Floyd in the company's employ. The reason for Floyd's going out was that the wires had been cut. This was shown by an examination when his body was taken down. The shooting had evidently been done by some one who had stood almost under Floyd. The shooting was done with No. 4 shot. Two loads had been fired up into Floyd's body at close range Experimental Tobacco Farms. At the instance of Congressman Bell, the department, of agriculture in Washington will, in the very near future, establish three experimental tobacco farms in the ninth district of Georgia. Two experts of the department visited Gainesville to make a thorough survey of the situation and determine upon the location for the experiments. The idea of the department is to secure about two acres of suitable land in each county, to be taken charge of by the government for the purpose indicated. This will be devoted to the raising of Sumatra tobacco, the perfect leaves of which make the best of all wrappers, while the rest makes excellent filler. The high grade Sumatra now brings $2.50 a pound. Some Sumatra tobacco has been raised near Galnesville, and Mr. Bell is, strongly of the opinion that the soil and climatic conditions in a number of the counties of that section are favorable to making it a substantial industry. * * * This company is duly chartered under the laws of the State of Georgia, and has complied with all requirements of the State Insurance department, therefore all policy holders are protected with all the safeguards that the strict insurance laws of this State seek to protect its citizens. Its affairs are directed and managed by Negro men of the city of Savannah of leading standing, and whose character and reputation are of such as to command the respect and confidence of all the people of that community. The same men that manage this Society are the ones that organized and are conducting the affairs of the first successful Negro Savings Bank in this state, therefore we can readily see that by connecting themselves with this Insurance company their interest will be in safe hands. By comparing our rules and benefits with other first class companies it will be seen that we offer the most liberal inducements with the largest sick, accident and death benefits to our members than any other company in this business. That we pay our claims promptly can be testified to by the thousands of our satisfied members. Power Furnished Free of Charge. Power for running all the operative exhibits of the 1910 exposition in Atlanta will be furnished free of charge by the Lane & Bodley company, one of the largest builders of steam engines in the world. A letter from the local representative of the company to Secretary Walter G. Cooper announces the generous offer of the Lane & Bodley company, stating that the company will be glad to "install any or all engines necessary, either of the four valve or Corliss type, and furnish the exposition company all the power they demand." The plan of the exposition is to have all the exhibits, so far as possible, operative, and it will require a vast amount of power to run these exhibits. Ex-Pollceman Manages Heme. Captain John A. Thompson, an expoliceman of Atlanta, has been elected superintendent of the Confederate Soldiers' Home by the board of trustees, Superintendent Bowle's term having expired the first of the year. Captain Thompson received six of the ten votes on the first ballot. Dr. Amos Fox, treasurer and purchasing agent of the home, it is said, led the fight against Captain Bowle on the ground that the superintendent had allowed a large number of the old soldiers to go to the city one night last November to take part in a political meeting at the court house. The other elections by the trustees were as follows: H. W. Bell of Jefferson, president; W. S. Thompson of Atlanta, vice president; W. H. Harrison of Atlanta, secretary; Amos Fox of Atlanta, treasurer and purchasing agent; Mrs. M. E. Maddox, matron; Dr. L. C. Brewer, surgeon; Rev. A. R. Holderby, chaplain. The only change was in the election of Mr. Thompson as vice president in place of E. H. Thornton, resigned. DISGRACED SENATOR TRICKED. Burton of Kansas Forced Into View and Allowed Milage One of the most remarkable procedures in the history of the senate occurred Monday in order to avoid a technicality, which prevented Senator Burton of Kansas from drawing his mileage for the present session. In order to have his requisition honored, it is necessary for some official of the senate to take oath that he had seen the senator in the chamber, but since the indictment and conviction of the Kansas senator he has not appeared in the chamber. There is no disposition on the part of any one to withhold the mileage and the senator was therefore asked to step from the cloak room into the chamber for a moment in order that he might be seen by some official. He declined, but an employee engaged him in conversation in the cloak room near the entrance to the chamber. The employee suddenly turned the senator so that he faced the chamber, and the attention of officials previously having been directed toward this room; he was seen from the chamber. It was then certified that Senator Burton was in attendance, and his mileage was paid him. BRICE MEASURE SUSTAINED. Law Relating to. South Carolina Dispensaries' Legal. Says' Court. pensaries Legal, Says Court. The South Carolina state supreme court Friday handed down an opinion sustaining the constitutionality of the Brice law. The court was unanimous in its opinion. That portion of the Brice law which provided that counties voting, out the dispensary should not participate. In the school fund derived from dispensary profits, is declared to be unconstitutional. The Brice act was passed in 1903, giving each county the privilege of having dispensary or prohibition. Under this act sixteen counties have voted out this dispensary. MANN-HAPGOOD SCANDAL CASE The sensation of the past week in New York has been the revelations made in the trial of Norman Hapgood editor of Collier's Weekly, on a charge of criminal libel preferred by W. D. Mann, owner of Town Topics. Associated with Mann in the case is Joseph M. Dapel, a Justice of the court of special sessions, who is connected with Town Topics. Collier's charged that Town Topics and "Fads and Pancles" were conducted as blackmailing schemes and Mann and Deuel retorted by making a charge of criminal libel. ANNUAL CONFEDERATE REUNION To Be, Held In New Orleans April 26 and 27 Next. The sixteenth annual confederate reunion will be held in New Orleans on April 25, 26 and 27. The annual meeting of the Southern Memorial Association, of which Mrs. W. J. Bohan is the president, will be held at the same time and place. Two prizes of the veterans' annual reunions have been held in New Orleans and the citizens of that city have always done themselves proud in the entertainment of the old heroes and their friends. For the first time since the present hasing trials began evidence was given before the courtmartial at Annapolis Monday tending to support the assertion that officers on duty at Annapolis have winked at hasing. Midshipman Claude Mayo swore that Lieutenant Guyder, the officer in charge of Bancroft hall had used language interpreted by the upper classmen to mean that they should stop skipping the fourth classmen by the usual hasing methods. ren The 22 Tollzate 2 Galden Land Qa ie ae he 28 emedl ae i “is but we are justified in saying that the great fortynes are Secscooat not, accumulated without grievous sin, without oppression or Sty 7 unfalr-advantege.

FEW years ago the question of allowing municipal suffragé in Massachusetts to women was submitted to all the voters of that state who were eligible to vote for schoo] commit tees. The number of women at that time qualified to reg ister and ballot on the question was about 575,000. Of thes¢ more than 550,000 declined to vote. There were forty-sevet towns in which not one woman’s ballot was cast in the af firmative. . 7 i think twenty slates which refuse to women al] Oller suffrage privileges permit them to vote for school officers, either without re- striction or under certain conditions. It is alleged, however, that the number who avail themselves of this privilege js commonly very small. . It is sometimes claimed that woman suffrage would have the effect of ele- vating and refining politics. Neither {ts Short trial in four states, containing in the aggregate a population very slightly in excess of one-third the popula- ton of the city of New York, nor our political experlence or observation sup- ports this claim, The states in which full female suffrage prevails are Colorado, Utah, Ida- ho and Wyoming. In the first two of these states the proportion of female voters 1s considerably greater than in the others, and yet the voters of Utah have lately elected through thelr legislature to the United States senate a man whose fitness Js now the subject of a pending senatorial investigation, and not Jong ago they elected to Congress another man whom that body re- Jected, s Of the four states permitting full woman suffrage, Colorado should cer- tainly be: regarded as affording the best fllustration of {ts results, ~ Lessthan two years ago a member of the House of Representatives from that state, holding his place by virtue of ar apparent majority of the direct votes of the men and women of his districf; resigned his seat for the reason, as he openly declared, that fraudulent votes had been cast for bim {n the election, An investigation.of the case by a congressional committee devel- oped the fact that some of the most glaring frauds were committed by women.

Franklin is a popular idol, and as no other historic tigure, with the possitile exception of Lin- coln, he appeals to the masses.

Indeed, it is not improbable that to Franklin's exam- *¢ple and to the preachings of Poor Richard is due the fact that those qualities siof ihgennity, grit, energy and hard-headed perseverance that go to make up the Yankee spirit have becomo crsstalized into national traits and are recog: snized as such whererer Americans have made their influence felt. ‘The popular approval and interest in this commemmorative celebration, ‘however, are not-only perfectly losteal and inevitable; they are also very re- “Areshing, They prove that the good men do does live after them, that buman- ity is not unresponsive or unappretiative, and that ultimately a man is judged ’ py-posterity somewhat, though a course not always exactly, according to his ‘deserts.

The inventor in question has devot ed his time of late to the determina- tion of the chemical construction of the coating found upon the scales of fishes. He declares that the agility of the fish is due to this coating, which enables it to overcome the re- sistance of the water, while at the same time it prevents the growth of foreign matter. He asserts that he fs naw able to produce this coating in a form permit- ting {t to be used for vessels and that ships thus treated will not only be able to keep clean bottome but that the paint will materially reduce the resistance of the waves and permit faster time to be made with, the same expenditure of power.

Frank Miner, 8 young man living on the River road, had an exciting ex- perience with a. deer on a recent Sunday afternoon and fs convinced that they are not the timid animals he has always thought they were.

MOTHER? Col. Trévethick heard them both, and they smote him'with a new senso “of loss and pain. He had scarcely “thought of his little girl since his wife -died, fise hours’ kefore—died at the very instant when she was kissing him Bocd-by, taking with her into the far heavens the warm breath of his hu- man love. He had loved her as, per- haps, men seldom Jove, from the first hour of their first meeting. “There is Maud Harrison,” some one had said, and fie"had turned to look, and met tho Inabcent gaze of two frank, gentle, very beautiful brown eyes. “Brightest eyes that ever have shone,” he said to himself. Their owner had other charms besides—a fair and lovely face, round which golden hair made’a soft, bright halo; a lithe, girlish figure; a manner of unaffect- ed cordiallty blent with a certain maid- enly reserve, and which seemed to kim perfection.» He loved her then and’ there. His wooing was short, and his wedding hasty, but he had never re- pented his ‘haste; never known an unhappy hour from the moment he brought his wife home, nine years ago, till these last few days, in which his Jove and care could not prevent ber from going away from him, to another home where he could not follow her— the home where she had gone row, far beyond his search.” She was a good little creature, znd she did not rebel even at the summons to go out of her earthly Eden in search of the paradise of God. She longed in- deed to live, for she loved her own, and she cculd have resigned herself to die more villingly but for her hus-| band's passion of woe. That very aay she had said to him, as ke knelt beside her = ~ “Do not grieve so, darling. Iam not going £0 far but that I shall come hack to you every day. Something tells me that I shall be always near you and Maudie. You cannot call, or she cry. out that I shall hear you, I krow that when she needs, or most wants me, I shall be close beside you.” And, with that very last kiss, when her breath was failing, she bad whis- pered: “I shalt not go sosfar as you-think.” _Novw, when he heard the low cail of bis little Maudie, and her smothered sobbing, he remembered the words of his dead darling. Did che, indeed, heer Maudie ery, and was it possibly troun- ling her? He got up and went into thé iittle rcom where Maudie had slept | alone ever since her sixth birthday, a couple. of months ago.

Ina few days this dear, white tace will be put away, underneath the grass and the flowers; but the real mamma, who loves little Maudie, will not be buried, She will be somewhere, I truly believe, where she can see and hear her littl: girl.” . For a moment the child slid again from big arms, and nestled close agalost the cold breast, Itissed the un- moving lips. Then.she sald: “Good-by, this mamma, who can't see; and good-night, other mamma, that hears Maudie," — Col. Trevethick marveled, Had he, Indeed, succeeded in making this lit- tle creature understand; or had some one he could not see spoken to her words of sweet mother wisdom? He carried her then, and laid her in her Jittle bed, and went back to bis ‘own loneliness; but half an hour af- terward he heard the small voice cali- ig, “Papa, papa,” and again he went to her, and the little arms came up around his neck, and held him fast. “Can't I go, too, papa? It you ask God, won't He let me? Because I did so love my mamma.” : ‘That aftersooa Col. Trevethick had felt as if he had nothing at all left m this world; but now he realized how much emptier still his home might be if he lost out of it this child who was so like ber mother. “Mamma would not want you to come,” he sald, passionately. “She has- all heaven, and I onlyyyou—only you, little Maudie, in ll the warld. Mamma wants you to stay with me.” After that she was quiet; and when he looked in at ker an hour later, she was sound asleep with one little hand like crushed white rose under the red rose of her flushed: cheels, She never asked for her mother ater that night; but her father wes sure she never forgot her. She was the strangest, gravest little creature. She never made any noise, even at her play; and she never did‘any of the things for which her mother had Geen accustomed to reprove her. The trouble was that she was too perfect— (here was something unnatural about it Which frightened Col. Trevethick. He would have keen glad if she had been naughty sometimes like other children. He longed to have her tease. him—to see In her some spirit of azughtiness or contradiction; but he sayy none. She’ grew tall quite. fast, ut she was very thin—a little, white wraith of a creature, who looked as if she had been made out of snow, and might melt away as soon. It was a good thing for Col. Treve- hick, né doubt, that he had her to at- end, and to be anxlos about, It kept him from surrendering himseit 0 his own grief. Nearly two years went on, and all the ime, the little girl became more and more frail; until, at last, when she rad just passed her eighth birthday, she was taken very ill, Her illness eemed a sort of low, nervous fever, nd she grew “dally more feeble. A kilful nurse camel to share with, Bes- fe the task of attending her, and her ather was seldom far away. Half the lay he would be sitting in her room, ind half a dozen times in the night he rould steal im to watch her breathing. Ore afternoon, as he sat by her bed, he Icoked up at him with a sad, tender 00k, ye old for her years—but then II her words and ways were too cld or her years. ‘ “Papa,” she sald, “I would’get well {I could, to please you, I should get yell, I know, if 1 had mamma to nurse xe.

She had not spoken before ff her mother fdr so many months, nd yet how well she remembered. In- tantly his wife's words, that last day, ame beck to his memory.

She was all tn white, and her soft, golden hair fet! about her shoulders, and her eyes were very, very bright, and her lips when she kilssed me,'seemed somehow to melt savway.” , ~ "So you, too, dreamed about mam- ma, darling?” , 2 “No, indeed, papa, I did not dream, Mamma sat there’ all night long, with her hand upon’my head.

See if Dr. Halo dees not tell you I am well.” , Two hours afterward Dr. Hale came. He stood for a few moments beside the the little bed. He looked in the child's gldd eyes; he counted the throbs of her pulse, he made her put out her healthy little tongue, Then he turned to her father. “Trevethick,” he sald, “can you swear that this is the same little girl I left here last night? If the days of miracles were not gone, I should say that one had been wrought here. I left, [ thought, a very sick Uttle person, about whom I was anxfous enough, cer- tainly, to make this my first call this morning, and I find my small patlent so well that Ishall only keep her in bed a day or two longer, for form's | sake.” “Perhaps It 1s 3 miracle,” Cols Tre- vethlek sald, smiling.

She wore a fresh shite gown, with lovely blue ribbons, nd also looked as much like a little angel in festal attire as a human child an be expected to lock. But she did not take her usual seat.

A wipdow garden of climbing vines ts a very pretty effect for a living room window, The box is made the length of a window sill, elght inches wide and seven inches deep, Inside measurement. It is to be lined with zine and provided with two or three outlets to drain the surplus moisture. ‘The box gan be palpated any cesired color or covered with byrlap in some desirable shade. The nail heads all around the edges are only imitation | and are of lead beaten out at the edges to give the effect of hand wrought nails. There cre two ideas for climb- ing vines. Onc is to attach Ilnen twine from the edge of the box to the edge of a ledge or shelf four inches wide placed ovér the top of the window casing;and supported with brackets at the ends. Another cifect, where the lower box is not desired, is to arrange square boRes at both cads of the win- dows, making them fast and support- Ing them with brackéts. Strings are jmade fest.from the front of the box ‘to the edge of the shelf, and light vines can be arranged partly to screen the ‘upper part of the Window. ‘The little boxes should be lined with zinc, perferably independent linings that can be lifted out if necessary. A’ drain fube should be soldered to the bottom and passed through a hole in the wooden box.

Women as Workers. “The study of women In industry 1s a study of disabilities,” sald John Martin before the women’s conference of the Society for Ethical Culture. “They ned more than men the strength that comes from combination, nad yet they are unfitted by the heritage of agés of isolation for unjted effort.” “Sian has been for centuries the fighting animal,” proceeded Mfr. Mar- tin, “Women are less apt at warfare and self-assertion. They are placed at a disadvantage by physical disabilitfes, and they are fatally handicapped by the fact that so many of their num- ber do not work for a full living, or ex- pect to work only temporarily. “If men need the combination and Jegislation, sti!l more do-women. It men require outside help and sym- pathy, still more do women. If men have found by centuries of ‘experience That alone they are helpless, still more helpless is the woman who is forced to bargain individually with an em- ployer. ~ "Some of you women of leisure may Wonder why these women are willing to submit to these conditions rather than come intp your ‘lovely’ homes, where they would have good wages and every comfort, but even if the conditions in your komes were as idyllic as they are sonretimes repre- sented, the working woman has a right to choose for herself, and if she chooses the factory it is our duty to see that its conditions are made as tolerable as possible for her, The country hes an interest in her well- belng, because it Is the well-being of the next generation.

A CRUSADE should be made against the policy shops and dives of the city. It has been well said that the meaner some colored men are treated, the more willing he is to lick the hand that smites. Justice in the courts for a colored man! Bahl Some of the Judges may be just, but deliver us from the prejudice of some of the jurors and the narrowness of some of the lawyers in their appeal to race prejudice in presenting a case. THE hundreds of colored men who spend thousands of dollars each week around the bar rooms in a useless way, should be reached. If these men could be constrained to save just one third of the money they spend for drink, how much better-off they and their family would be. A NUMBER of policy writers are connected with a certain organization. Notice was given these writers that they must either quit the writing business or the institution. Not much heed is paid to the warning. The deputy should see that the law is enforced. Men in honorable institutions should not assist in polluting our people Let the deputy act. The following dispatch comes from Frankfort, Ky.: "As a result of the production here last night of "The. Clausman" Representative Klair, Democrat, today introduced in the general assembly a bill prohibiting the production of "any play that is based upon antagonism alleged formerly to exist between master and slave or that excites race prejudice." The above is very significant and needs no comment, coming as it does from such a state as Kentucky. JUDGE Norwood was very severe in his charge in the case of Days in the City Court on Wednesday. His lecture to the colored attendants was scathing. While he told them of their position in the community, he should have at the same time admonished the white men to be more law-abiding in their acts toward colored citizens. If this was done so much misunderstanding between the races would be averted. It as a common practice among certain lawyers in pleading before a jury, especially in a case where the two races are concerned, to appeal to the race feeling and the prejudice of the jury against the colored man. Lawyers of ability and standing refrain from this kind of pleading and brings out only the merit in their cases. When any lawyer goes out of his way to appeal to race feelings it is then time for the judge to call him down. THE TRIBUNE appreciates the manner in which a number of its loyal subscribers are calling or sending to the office and paying their subscription. We have a class, of subscribers, who never waits for us to send a collector, but as soon as their time is up come forward with the cash. This is the class that makes it possible for the race to succeed. If there were more of them, a great deal better would things be. JUDGE EMORY SPEER of the U. S. Court for the southern district of Georgia has accomplished a great reform for right and justice in breaking up the practice of municipal or recorder's courts in this state of sending prisoners charged with merely violation of city ordinances to the infamous chain gang. The reform decision was declared by the Supreme Court of Georgia and was inspired by the famous Jamison case of Macon, in which the prisoner was given a chain gang sentence for disorderly conduct by the recorder of that city. The prisoner was brought before Judge Speer on a writ of habeas corpus who declared that the conviction and sentence by a recorder's court to infamous punishment was without due process of law and in violation of the thirteenth and fourteenth amendments of the constitution of the United States, and Jamison was released, and the case appealed, but the Supreme Court of the United States failed to pass on the merits of the case but the Supreme Court of Georgia has practically upheld Judge Speer in breaking up the abominable practice of sending unfortunate prisoners to the chain gang who may have violated some city rules or regulation. The decision is of very great importance, to the colored people of Georgia, they compose about ninety per cent of those arrested for alleged municipal offences, of whom are never able to pay the fines assessed against them and inevitably suffered on the infamous chain gang. THE associated press reported the revolt of some of the students of Talladega College. The cause of it is placed to the hiring of a southern white man as superintendent of the farm. At this distance we are unable to get at the true facts in the case, but put no credence in the report as published. There is no doubt more behind the affair than has been given out. It is believed that the students are too sensible to revolt simply because the superintendent of the farm is a southern man; especially if he is capable and courteous. For them to do this would be a reflection upon a large number of white friends in this section who are as loyal to us as those found in any other section. Talladega being a college for colored students, the management should be sufficiently foresighted to have employed a capable colored superintendent, all things being equal. Before the revolting students or faculty are condemned it would be far better to find out the facts. Since writing the above it has been found out that the white superintendent and one of the students had an altercation, and on account of the action of the superintendent a request was made for his removal which was refused, the result being the withdrawal of the students. The cause of this withdrawal is not because the superintendent is a southern white man but because of his insulting manner and action toward the students who should not under any circumstances submit unless the superintendent makes amend or is removed. ON the first page of THE TRIBUNE is published a large advertisement of the Guaranty Aid & Relief Society, with a facsimile of the receipt of the State Treasurer for the deposit of five thousand dollars which alone proclaims the stability of the company. The Guaranty is strictly a local institution with homecapital and conducted by home talent. It is the first colored company in the city to be incorporated by the courts and the first one here that received a state charter. Its officers and directors are among the leading citizens who stand for something and who have the confidence and respect of their fellow citizens. THE TRIBUNE commends this company fully if for no other reason than that it is strictly along race lines and of it the colored printers have no cause to complain. Washington's Denial. Booker T. Washington, yesterday, when shown the statement published recently to the effect that he had advised the President to remove all colored office-holders in the South from office, said: "I have given no such advice; the statement is false."

Dear Mr. Editor; Having heard that the subject before the Men's Sunday Club for last Sunday would be a general discussion on "Business"; and being very much interested as to how Negroes are getting along in business, I decided to go up to hear some of the discussions. No I eased myself up in a cosy corner where I could easily train my search-lights on nearly 300 people present. Well sir the discussion was started at a lively gait until it seemed to center about this point, viz: Should we buy an article from a colored merchant who charges a cent or two more for it than does the white merchant? Now sir, there was no end to the number who wanted to get a whack at this question. But just as a peacock struts around as monarch of all he surveys so did Mr. Hot Air come forth with a voluminous voice which like a gush of wind could be heard almost unto the four quarters of the world. How earnestly did he tell the people that they should patronize the colored merchant every time even if in some cases he does charge a few more cents. This is the only right thing to be done if you would help to build up Negro enterprises to the position where they can successfully compete with other races along all lines of commerce and industry. Well sir, I'll tell you Mr. Hot Air was the "hero" - of the hour and was roundly applauded, such a good hit did he make upon the 300 people present. I took his view of the matter and also joined in "Clapping-em-up-a-few" for old Hot Air. But imagine my surprise when I took up an advertisement this week booming a business in which Mr. Hot Air figures very prominently, to find that Mr. Hot Air who told the people to patronize their own merchants at almost any cost, this "tooting" Mr. Hot Air who was so roundly applauded by 300 people last Sunday because he said that as a people we must learn to patronize our own merchants; this "big gas tank" who could easily put the gas company out of business, if he should compete with them in furnishing gas; this fellow who has to wear heavy shoes to keep him in touch with mother Earth for fear that he may go up like a balloon so well-filled with gas is his head; this fellow who has "inconsistency" backed up in close quarters begging a drink of water; this great Mr. Hot Air when he wanted his printing done where did he go? Now now, I know all of those 300 people who heard him make his oration last Sunday will immediately exclaim "Why, he went to a colored printing firm! surely we could not believe that he did otherwise than this in view of all the reasons which he gave us as to why we should patronize our own merchants." But, you are sadly mistaken people, if you think so, Mr. Hot Air didn't give the colored printers "a smell" in either printing or even bidding on the printing. But don't be surprised this fellow has enough brass in his cheeks to make "a long tonn brass monkey" for every strand of hair in his head. A New Name. ple wherever he goes.

There are some able divines from whom to make a choice, and THE TRIBUNE hopes that whoever may be selected will do as well as the officers heretofore. The Executive Board of the Grand Household of Ruth of Georgia, meet today. Mrs. Anna Jarrett, of Washington, the grand treasurer and Mrs. L. P. Fortune, of Rome, grand recorder, will be present. Mrs. R. L. Barnes who is Grand M. N. G. will preside at the meeting. On the evening of the 12th inst., a brilliant and enjoyable reception was tender Rev. Chappelle, secretary of the A. M. E. S. Union, Nashville, Tenn., and Rev. C. C. Cargile, Presiding Elder of the Forsyth district. The reception was given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. W. White, east Anderson street. The decorations of the parlor and table were exquisitely arranged by Mr. Frank Coleman and consisted of ivy, carnations, maiden hair ferns. This with the exchanging of experiences and the musical selections added just enough gayety to the occasion to make it a memorable one. The guests were Dr. W. D. Chappelle, Nashville, Tenn.; Dr. G. C. Cargile, Atlanta, Ga.; Dr. and Mrs. J. A. Lindsay, Mesdames E. L. Martin, L. Buncumbe, H. G. Nixon, O. L. White, and Misses Jessig L. Baldwin, Rosina West. The hosts were Messrs. A. W.

The host and hostess know how to entertain their friends. They were assisted by Messrs. C. M. Brinson, Stephen Jenkins, Richard M. Johnson, and Miss Daisy McAlpin. The evening was pleasantly spent in playing games and listening to the sweet strains of music. At 11:30 the guests were escorted to the dining room where a sumptious repast was served. Among those present were Mrs. Estella S. Jones and Miss Matilda Cummings of Augusta, Misses Sarah Bowman, Marla Coleman, Madaline Williams, Ada Reed, Daisy McAlpin, Messrs. Geo. Muse, E. Gibbs, S.

Rivers, Chester Welch, H. D. Whitehead, Chas. M. Brinson. The Two Coming Events. Jan. 30 and Feb. 12. Within the next two weeks two entertainmen ts which all Savannah people are awaiting will take place and it is safe to predict great success for both these events. The first will be the lecture by Rev. Jno. D. Jordan at Beach Institute on Jan. 30th. This lecture is given under the auspices of the Sunday Club. You should not miss this address which is bound to be very interesting. Any one who has heard Dr. Jordan can testify to his ability as a speaker and it is safe to say he will more than master the occasion at the Beach on January 30th. 8:30 p. m. Following this treat will come the great literary exercises in which the "top-notchers" of Savannah will appear along musical and literary lines. These exercises are to be held at Masonic Temple on the night of February 12th., under the auspices of the Sunday Club in commemoration to Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. These exercises are gotten up on a large scale, and it is safe to say that the people are going to attend in very large numbers. If you want to enjoy an evening's treat don't fail to be in your seat at 8:15 p. m. Feb. 12th at Masonic Temple. Last Sunday the subject before the Club was "Business;" there was a general discussion on this subject which is one that appeals to the present-day Negro with much force. There was no lack of speakers on this occasion for it seems as if nearly everyone was ready to enter the discussion. The discussion was carried on very orderly and many points were brought out which mean much to our people. Don't forget to come out to-morrow, the Ladies are going to conduct the exercises. Revival Services. Beginning with to morrow and continuing until Feb. 9, revival services will be held at the First Congregational church, Rev. W. L. Cash pastor. The services will be conduct, ed by Rev. James Wharton of Barrows, England. Rev. Wharton is well-known by many here. He has conducted similar services here which resulted in many converts. Rev. Wharton has devoted himself to evangelical work, and his efforts are being crowned with success wherever he goes. He is not a sensational speaker but appeals to reason in a convincing way. We welcome Rev. Wharton to the city and hope that his services will be equally as successful as the last ones held here. The services will be held each night beginning at 8 o'clock; they will be short and interesting. The public is invited to attend. There will be hearty congregational singing. St. Stephen's Church. The "Tragedy of a Selfish Ambition" proved as was anticipated to be very instructive and elevating. The story of Absalom is interesting reading, but when told in a masterful way becomes edifying. Absolom was a great man and had all the qualities attending his day, he was even handsome, but he lost a crown, because he had no patience Rey. Richard Bright will preach from the subject "The Conversion of St. Paul" Sunday night and promise a rare treat for those who attend. Services commence promptly at 8 o'clock. Third Anniversary. Third Anniversary. The Married Women's Charitable and Pleasure Club celebrated its third anniversary at Duffy street hall, Friday of last week. The hall was beautifully decorated with buntings and evergreens. There was a beautiful arraigned parlor for those who delight in the different games, while others enjoyed themselves in dancing. Program for the evening: Mrs. S. Crawford, secretary gave, a, very good report of the standing of the Club for the past year showing the progress they made. This shows that Mrs. Crawford is the right person in the right place. After the report, a song was rendered by Miss A. Stewart and Miss Anna Williams, then an essay by Mrs. Mattle Thomas. The feature of the evening was a song by Mrs. Fannie Green, entitled "Want some one to love me when I am old," after which came the installation of the following officers for the ensuing year, by Dr. J. H.Bugg, and Dr. L. H.King. Mrs. B. M. Denslow, president; Mrs. C. Maxwell, vice president; Mrs. S. Crawford, secretary; Mrs. S. Kirkland, Treasurer; Mrs. Buncombe, chairman of finance; Mrs. N. D. Inman, chairman investigating committee; Mrs. Battise, clerk of order; Mrs. Mason, chaplain. After the installation a few remarks were made by Rev G. F. Noley, Doctors Bugg, E. D. Bukley and P. E. Love, encouraging the ladies in the great work, which they had undertaken. The grand march was had and very soon all were in line and repaired to the banquet room, where there was a table spread for about one hundred and fifty, containing everything imaginable to satisfy the inner man. The following were the guests with many others, too numerous to mention: Capt. and Mrs. W. D. Armstrong, Rev. and Mrs. Nolley, Dr. and Mrs. Bulkley, Messrs. and Mesdames. R. A. Haper, R. B. Royal, W.

Kings, xix: “and he came thither, unto a cave.” Dr. Roche sald: ‘The lessons present quite fully the ife of that grand old prophet Bljeb the Tishbite. “From a sublime scene in his life I shall attempt to draw such lessons as may ft the hour, Let us se Jeet the moment when.his soul yearned | to be on Horeb, the mount of God. ‘Give your thoughts to this statement, And he came thither, unto a cave.” T shall speak of the coming and of ‘the cavern; of the grlef the Journey drought to view, and the glory the cav-| ema revealed. ‘Throughout wo must re member that we study typlcal case of Almighty God's dealing with His discouraged servants. What the Lord said and did-to Elijah, He would have: ua belleve He says ard docs to our. selves, * From one of the most striking. altua- tions in history we are to see Elijah hurled in ‘an instant. ‘The occasion of his fall was one of the slightest of in- eldents, as when an avalanche which xarries down the side of a mountain ir started by the waves of the alr aroused by atourist’s halloo. Ahab talked with his wife, We have seen greatness of character in reticence, as when to the numerous interrogatoriés of Pilate the Son of Man “answered him never 2 word.” So meanness, cowardice are seen offen in that easy flow of words which lets out everything, A wife may tell her husband what he has no business to know: a man may make himself contemptible biabbing every- thing to his wife. “Ahab told Jczevel all thet Elijah had done and withal ‘how he bad slain the prophets with the sword.” I do not nuderstaza he spoke Anayrath or malice; quite the contrary; ‘the knevy ne had a tigress to deal with, and used all the tact bis lean wit could summon, He was sfrald to tell her that he himself bad abandoned the sinking cause of the Baalites, He dl- Nided bis matters, putting the emall things rst; last of all-ber beloved ministers of falsehood and fraud were slain. ‘The tigress rolled her angry eyes and showed her cruel teeth. She sent this message to Ellfeh: “The gods do so to me and more also if I make not thy life as the life. of one of them by fomorrow about this time.” Jege del's blood was up, “He arose a went for bis life.” ‘The man who had confronted the King and his armed ro- talucrs fled terrified from e woman. ‘Thore $s a lesson here for all. Life's victories only lift us to new battlefields. One of Elijeh’s mistakes was bis sup- position thar, all would go well if one event resulted favorably, He succeed- ed berond bis wilé-st dreams only to find his real troubles yet to begin. So we regard the office to which we hope to be elected, the partnership we are anxfous to form, the fifty or hun- Gred thousand we ‘are striving for. ‘When the great achlevement’ is won we are simply like the army Janded on & hostile shore under the guns of the fleet. Shut up for sreeks in narrow quarters, fossed by the sea, fed on ship's fare, the men long for the land with Sts frult and forage. ‘The Joy of the landing is quickly exchanged for the sense of insecurity and the fear of sudden attack, A day or ¢0 after Carmel, Elljah was at Beersheba. Even there he was full of alarm. Hefled into deeper solitude. ‘The farther he fled the lower sank his spirits. See his awful consternation in bis inconsistency swith regard to life. He had run away to save it. Under the juniper tree he begged it might be taken. So low is Eijah‘fallen! Nox for the second stage of the journey. ‘The prople: is broke: down, He thinks the end has come, See how God cheered His disconsolate servant. First He took care of Elljah’s body. ‘The prophet was fatigued, famished, gpent. Natural law carrying out al- xine purpose caused the pining and sighing to bring slumber. + The discouraged Chrisitan can often do worse than lie down and take a nap, ‘When the world ig too much for us, awhen the strain and worry seem as if they would never cease, when the dis- appointment is bitter, when the letter comes destroying our hopes, when be- reavement leaves the heart desolate, heaven guides the afilicted soul to calm and quiet, and the peace of submission, “So He giveth His beloved steep.” Next God fed Elijah. “An angel touched him and said: ‘Arise and eat.’ ‘And ‘behold there was at his head 3 cake baken on the coals and a cruse of water.” Our depression has at times an intensely physical basis. Our Lord fed the multitude before He instructed them. A full stomach fe not always the sigh of a pure heart, but who doubts that if we could give one good meal to the wretched creatures infest- ing the streets of cities we might begin in some of them the salvation from sin. Elijah: slept and ate, and slept and ate-azain, The repose was natural, the Tepast supernatural, but the lessons are universally applicable. Calmed_and strevsthened, his holy spirit reasserted Mtself. He would see Horeb the Mount of God, oo - and possibly in some cases from the age of St, John, Where God had re- Yealed Himself hundreds of years be- fore to Moses He now shows His glory, to Elijah. “What dost thou here, Ell- jahY” ‘The answer illustrates mistak- en, thoughtless seal. ‘The Tisbbinte 1s severo on Ieracl and earef=I for his own life, and betrays « wrong spirit, Very Bood people, even in thelr religious opinions, thelr most plous aspirations, exr greally, They show overwhelming concelt, or unworthy estimates of oth- es, or the most wrongheaded cholee of means, or a selfish regard for thelr own comfort, and even life, Among. the mistakes of good men think of the miserable narrowness of those who talk against missions to the heathen and refuse to contribute; or the cold- ness of those who discourage under the term “slumming” efforts by Chris- tisn people to fight the devil in his own strongholds of the brothel and the Tummery. Elijah, though a good man, made some mistakes, So far has be turned aside that we are tempted to think his estimate 1s just that he can henceforth be of no service to bis Lord. Bat we shall sce that heaven can make abundant use of even cross-grained en- ergy, 80 only It have a good heart, See His ‘method with this devout, Herolc, but misguided salnt, God showed Elijah the Smpotence of the Carnal. ‘There is no reproach. “Go forth and stand on the mount before the Lord.” There came steeping down the granite crags of Binaf a cust and then a blast and then a hurricane that uprooted the ancient trees, and rolled the loose fragments of rock against one another till they flew tn pleces lke millstones subjected to too swift revo- lution. ‘The appalled ‘saint knelt breathless, and a8 the tornado epent ite force he lifted his eyes for a nearer view of God. “But the Lord was not in theiwind.” ‘The earth rumbled, the crags were split, the mount {teclf rocked, the ground opened creat fis- sures, the day of the dissolution of na- ture itself eppeared to have come. He looked again. “But the Lord was not in the earthquake.” ‘The lightning darted out of the clouds, fash follow- ing flash in the terrible splendor of Orfental tempests til! the atmosphere seemed charged with continuous flame, and Mount Sinal and the cave and the firmament Itself seemed ablaze, Again +be strained his viston to discern in the ‘blinding glare One yet more glorfous, “But the Lord was not in the fire,” As has been finely said Elijah had ‘congelved God simply as power. His own achlevements bad been wrought ‘by power. He ts now made to recog: nize the futility of mere force, ‘This is ‘a needful discovery for us. Especl- ally for the world’s great ones, ‘The man who in finance or industry has won the greatest ‘success is speedily convinced of the impotency of that which men ordinarily consider victory, ‘Whatever teaches ns this fs good. Fail- ure, disappointment, sickness, each {sa blessing in disguise if ft lifts us out of ourselves and mikes us feel that with all the world can give there is some- thing else needed, He showed Elijah the infinitade, the inexhaustible power and goodness and glory of the divine. ‘The cyclone was stilled, the earthquake spent, the Iight- ‘alngs ‘burned out and yet God came ‘not. “Then on perturbed and torment- ed nature a silence rested as when the lashed galley slave {3 permitted to rest, as when the Atlantic roaring for days falls Into a calm." ‘The cave, in its deepest grotto, was penetrated with the spitit of stillness, No breath stirred. ‘The seer felt amavwe, not less, but greater than before, when there came a voice, mysterious, thrilling his heart and asking the old question. ‘The old answer was given, we must belleve, with 2 new meaning, for the-great les- son of time and eternity had been taught. In the cave of Horeb the fundament- al truth of the Christlan religion 1s re- vealed, a truth every missiou, however humble; every ‘church, | however adomed; every cathedral, however magaificent, must illustrate. Not the earthquake, eseloue, hurls-burly, but the still small volee. -Here fs the se cret of God. Not the startling, but the pleading; not the violent, but the ten- der; not force, but pity; not Sinatic fury, but gospel grace; “not by might nor. by power, but by My spirit, eaith the’ Lord.” God is love. Not an un- seen God, but a saving Cbrisk “He came to Horeb a volce, he left it an in- Stfated man,” says af-urice. But trom ‘the {ving of the Christian torn to his dying. The close of every good life has digatty like unto “chat- lots of fire and horses of fire.” But the Mkeness runs on fmmeasurably. beyond death. St. James tells that Elijah was A man of iike rassions with us.

Readers of Brehm'’s “Tierleben” (Animal. Life) will recall a statement tothe effect that the cary inhabiting @ pond ina certain Continental towa are accustomed to come up to the landing steps at the sound ofa bell to be fed. And from this and other circumstances It has been commonly held, at least up to the middle of the ast ‘century, that fishes possess tho sense of hearing. In the year of 1851 were discovered, however, the socalled organs of Cor tin the internal ear of mammals, which there fs good reason to believe alone receive and transmit to the brain the vibrations giving rise to the sense of hearing, Now, theso organs of Corti, “together with the bony “lebyrinth” of the interns! ear in which they are contained, are absent ig fishes alone among the whole group vot vertebrates, and it accordingly seems highly probable that these crea- tures leck the power of hearing, ‘More especially -since -there seems ‘reagon to believe that the aforesald ‘organs of Oort{ are absent in such few members of the other classea of vertebrates as are dat. If this be 50, it follows, of course, that the so- called otoliths (tho familiar solid white bones in the head of a cod, for instance) in the eare of fishes have nothing to do with sound of hearing, ‘The whole question has recently been discussed In an exceedingly in- teresting manner by Prof. 0. Korner, director of the ear hospital at Ros- tock. ‘The learned professor says .that nature is never wasteful, and since fishes possess keen power of sight, smell and touch (in the so-call- ed Jateral line of the side of the ody), it is Improbable that they are also provided with the sense of hear- ing. He incidentally cites as a proof of this the presence of numbers of sharks at the battle of Aboukir Bay and other naval battles, polnting out that if these fishes had heard the roar of the cannon they would scarcely have swum about In thelr asual uncon- cerned manner, intent only on busl- ness. Another argument urged is that sense of hearing would be useless to fishes, since the enemies by which they are attacked rush silently upon them In the waters or swoop down upon them from above, The vibra- tions caused by the breaking of tho waves on the beach are probably com- municated by the lateral line system, go that fishes are warned in thls man- ner of the proximity-of land. Brehm's anecdote of the carp com- ing to be fed does not by any means imply that these fishes hear the sound of the bell; and it is much more like- ly they feel the vibrations communt- cated to the water by the fact of the person coming to the landing steps. ‘Moreover, according to,the German professor, it eppears as the result of direct experiment that while fish aro able to take cognizance of. numerous rapld vibrations in water, Such as those communicated by an electric dell, they take no notice whatever of loud single explosions under wat- er, such as thoze.made by dynamite. This strongly polnts to the conclusion that they’ receive impressions of the former type of vibration by means of thelr sense of touch or feeling, but | that.they have no perception of either ‘Kind of vibration by means of hearing, London Field. ‘The Hablt of Carrlage. | “Tho habits of a man grow upon ‘him to such an extent that he cannot ‘get away from them, I can tell a plek pocket as far ‘as I can see him. 1 can distinguish an ex-convict, a soldler or rallroad man.

La Eighteen Negroes Lose Life in Panic in Church. CRY OF "FIRE" THE CAUSE Congregation Rushed Pell Mell Over Each Other in Frantic Efforts to Escape and Victims Were Trampled to Death. A wild panic following a loud shriek of "Fire!" brought death to eighteen colored people, and serious injuries to a half hundred of others Sunday night in St. Paul's Baptist church, Philadelphia. The terrible rush to gain the street was of brief duration, and that more were not killed in the stampede was probably due to the fact that the church was not crowded. The smell of smoke added to the panic, and, despite the heroic work of the pastor of the church, who tried in vain to allay the fears of the frightened worshipers, the terror-striken people made a desperate rush to leave the church, only to be choked up on the narrow stairway. Those in the rear leaped over the prostrate forms of those who fell, and when the rush was over, eleighteen lay dead on the first floor and stairs of the building. Death in nearly every case was due to suffocation or trampling. A defective flue set fire to the chimney, causing smoke to issue through the crevices in the floor near the pulpit. The disaster occurred while a collection was being taken up. The pastor had just concluded his sermon, the seemingly ominous text of which was "Why Sit We Here Until We Die." Following the collection there was to have been a baptism of a man and wife. Some of the colored people, owing to the lateness of the evening, had left the church, and others were about to go. As the pastor was arranging the pulpit preparatory to beginning the baptismal service, a woman in one of the front rows of the left side of the pulpit gave a loud shriek of "Fire!" Instantly all those about her were on their feet, looking for the blaze. Thero were no flames in sight, but those near the pulpit smelled smoke and started down the aisle toward the pulpit. Then followed, half a dozen cries of "Fire!" and the whole congregation became panic-stricken. The pastor in a loud voice, which only added to the confusion, called to the terror-stricken people to be seated. No one listened, and, despite his frantic appeal, a rush started that meant death to many that were in the church. When the rush started those in the rear of the church did not fully realize and were slow to move. The frantic shrieks of the women and children became louder and more general and many were knocked down in the two aisles of the church. Then came the terrible rush down the stairways. For some unknown reason, everybody tried to get down the left side of the building, comparatively few attempting to leave by the right stairway. One eye-witness says that perhaps a dozen persons got safely down the stairs when several people tripped and fell and caused the narrow way to become jammed. Several men on the first floor attempted to hold the people back, but were knocked down, and then the human stream came tumbling down. The weaker ones fell only to be trampled upon and crushed by those coming from behind. The terrible shrieks sent up by the prostrate persons added to the confusion, and by this time even the cooler ones in the rear of the fighting mass of men, women and children became terror-striken. Dazed men, in fear that the building was falling, leaped over the heads of women and children and fought only for their own safety. CHINAMEN AT CAPITAL. Imperial Commission Arrives in Washington for Ten Days' Stay. The imperial Chinese commission, sent to this country by the emperor of China to study American social, political and industrial conditions, arrived in Washington Tuesday on a special train from Chicago. They were met by Mr. Denby, chief clerk of the state department, who will look after the commissioners during ten days of their sojourn in the capital. Mr. Denby was chosen on account of his knowledge of the Chinese language and customs. SEVEN MEN BLOWN TO BITS. Boiler Explodes at a Sawmill in Wisconsin.

The mill was badly involved. Beef Packers Assert That Roosevelt Assured Them Immunity and Present a Letter as Proof. A Chicago special says: President Roosevelt has been the central figure around which revolves the entire case involving the pleas of the indicted packers for immunity, from further prosecution by the government on charges of being parties to a conspiracy to combine in restraint of trade and commerce. Attorney William J. Hynes, for the defendants, in his opening statement, Monday, before the jury hearing the immunity pleas, read an excerpt from a letter written by President Roosevelt to Attorney General Moody in the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe rebate case, which was a part of the communications between the two men called for by congress some time ago. This letter is taken by the packers as an admission by the president that the department of commerce and labor and the department of justice worked together to indict the packers, supporting the contention of the packers upon which they rely for immunity. The defendant packers endeavor to inject the letter into the case as evidence, just as if the president were here and testified concerning it. The letter was written by the president June 12, 1905, at the time the federal grand jury was sitting in Chicago on the beef inquiry. That part of the letter read by Attorney Hynes, and which will be introduced by defendants, if possible, as evidence from President Roosevelt, follows: "With my approval the department of justice, with the assistance of the department of commerce and labor, has for some months been endeavoring to find out whether or not they can obtain legal evidence of such wilful and deliberate violations of the injunction by any individual. If the grand jury now sitting in Chicago finds an indictment against any individual connected with the packing corporations it will be because in their judgment such legal evidences of the violations of the injunction has been laid before them." The letter is purported to be signed by President Roosevelt, and is taken by the defendants as proof of their contentions. "That letter is a public document, and we will introduce it as evidence in this case," said Attorney John S. Miller, one of the packer's attorneys. "If the government contests it, we can only call for an original copy." The reading of the excerpt from the letter came as a climax to the opening statements of the defendants late in the day. MARINES GO TO BOTTOM. Brazilian Warship Sunk by Magazine Explosion and 196 of Her Crew The cruiser Barroso arrived in port at Rio Janelro, Brazil, Monday, from Port Jacerepgua, with those injured by the explosion on the Acquidaban. The Acquidaban blew up at 10:45 Sunday night. Nearly all the officers were killed or injured. The dead number 198, and the injured 26. The explosion occurred in the powder magazine, and the vessel sank in three minutes. The following members of the commission, which left the arsenal on board the Acquidaban, accompanying the minister of marine, were drowned: Rear Admiral Rodrigo Jose Darocha, Rear Admiral Francisco Calhols Da Graca, Rear Admiral Joao Candido Brazil, Captain Alves De Larrigo, Two commanders, two German photographers and one newspaper reporter also were drowned. The Acquidaban was of 4,950 tons displacement and 6,200 horse power. She was built in England in 1835 at a cost of $1,725,000. The armament consisted of four 9.4-inch guns, four 5.5-inch guns and a number of smaller guns. She had five torpedo tubes. Her crew numbered 350 officers and men. CLOSE SHAVE FOR MELDRIM. Greene and Gaynor's Attorney Narrowly Escaped Being Fined. Colonel P. W. Meldrim, leading counsel for Greene and Gaynor, narrowly missed, in the federal court, at Savannah, Monday, sharing the experience of his associate, A. A. Lawrence, who last week was fined $100 for contempt of court. Judge Emory Speer construed certain remarks of the attorney as out of order and in contempt of court, but accepted an explanation and passed the matter, thus closing an intensely dramatic scene.
