Beginning of Extended Discussion in House. DEBATE TO BE UNLIMITED Messrs. Townsend, Adamson and Richardson Start the Ball to Rolling Everybody In Good According to special order, the house Tuesday took up the Hepburn railroad bill. In making a request that speeches be confined to the subject matter of the bill, Mr. Hepburn stated that requests for time on the bill have been so numerous that it seemed proper to confine debate to the bill. Mr. Williams, minority leader, objected to this restriction, whereupon a discussion followed as to whether this request could be enforced by a vote. Mr. Williams remarked: "We are a body now that can't do anything but talk, and if this precedent is made we will even have that privilege cut off." "Not wishing to abridge any of the gentleman's prerogatives I will not press the matter," responded Mr. Hepburn, good naturedly. He observed further that while no time had been set to close debate, it had been his idea that a vote might be taken on the bill one week hence. In taking up the bill in committee of the whole, Mr. Vreeland of New York was selected to preside over the debate. Opening what promises to be a week's discussion on the railroad rate bill, Mr. Townsend of Michigan addressed the house for more than an hour, touching on and elucidating practically every phase of the rate-making problem, and describing in detail the terms of the Hepburn bill. Regarding the question as one of the most important ever before congress, Mr. Townsend advocated the bill as the consequent remedy for the evils which exist and predicted that notwithstanding the protests of the roads; greater prosperity would come to them under its provisions than otherwise. Judge Adamson of Georgia and Mr. Richardson of Tennessee also spoke on the measure. While Mr. Townsend made the opening speech, the two southerners attracted most attention, and the deep interest felt in the issues they discussed was manifested by the many interruptions from other members and the running discussion that ensued. Judge Adamson reviewed utterances of the democratic platforms and showed that democratic newspapers and democratic leaders have for years been demanding this method of securing the correction of the evil of interstate rates. He gave to President Roeveelt the 'ablest, most honest and fearless republican president we have ever had,' the credit for repudiating the republican platform which was "stand pat" on railroad rates, and coming to the position of the democratic party. If no democrat was to occupy the presidential chair, it is fortunate, he said, that there should be a republican brave enough to join with the democrats in advocating this reform. PRESIDENT PARDON8 WOMAN. Former Postmistress at Maysville, Ga. Released from Jail. Mrs. Dora Harmon, formerly Miss Dora Campbell, postmistress at Maysville, Banks county, Ga., who was convicted of embezzlement and sent up for six months, has been pardoned by President Roosevelt. After her indictment Miss Campbell married a young man in Atlanta by the name of Harlan, and while serving her sentence in the Gainesville jail, it was found that she was in a delicate condition. CASE DECIDED AGAINST ROADS. Once More State of Georgia Wins in Contention Over Back Taxes. In the Fulton superior court at Atlanta, Judge John T. Pendleton decided the railroad tax case in favor of the state of Georgia. Under the decision the Central of Georgia railroad is held liable for taxes on the shares of stock which it holds in the Western Railway of Alabama. The amount of taxes involved aggregates about one hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars. The railroad will now appeal to the higher court. SAVANNAH. GA. SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 3, 1906. "THE SUN OF HIS LIFE." Nick Longworth Makes Public Declaration of Love for Miss Roose All Washington is smiling sympathetically at the manner in which "Nick" Longworth displayed his love for Miss Alice Roosevelt when they were in Philadelphia a night or so ago. Before 300 guests at the Quaker dinner, Mr. Longworth called Miss Roosevelt the sun of his life, and, smiling upon her as she watched him from an adjoining room, said that from where he stood he could see the sun in whose reflected radiance he had a momentary prominence. "As his excellency, the ambassador from Brazil, said," began the future son-in-law of the president, "I am a lucky man and I know it." A general laugh and applause greeted this remark, and Miss Roosevelt blushed. "And, in fact, I realize," continued the congressman, "that this kind applause with which you have greeted me is not because I deserve it, but because I stand here shining in reflected glory. I might not like it so much if the rays came from the Japanese lanterns or the electric lights which I see here, but, when the rays come from the sun, then I am indeed glad." Another burst of applause and another blush from Miss Roosevelt. It isn't often that a girl has the opportunity of hearing her fliance talk such glowing love language in public. "And though late," went on Mr. Longworth, "I think I see the sun shining beyond the palm trees in the other room" Wild applause and many blushes. General Grosvenor, who attended a dinner party given Tuesday in honor of Miss Roosevelt, commented openly on their mutual exhibitions of affection and gave many interesting details of their courtship during the Taft party's tour in the Orient. "Alice and Nick," he said, "are two splendid examples of all that is best in young American manhood and womanhood today, and I think~Nick is doing exactly.right in making no secret of the fact that he is deeply in love with the charming girl who will soon be his wife." The old general takes a fatherly interest in "Alice and Nick." He always calls them that. He was a member of the Taft party during the trip to Japan, Korea and the Philippines, during which Mr. Longworth wooed and won Miss Roosevelt. "Alice and Nick have been greatly puzzled at the great interest aroused in the announcement of their engagement," continued the general. "They had no idea it was going to be such a public affair, but, finding that the people of the country are inclined to make a public affair out of it, both have wisely accepted the situation. "Mr. Longworth's frank statement in a crowded banquet hall, which would have been most unusual in ordinary circumstances, was to my mind just the right thing. He resolved to leave no vestige of doubt in any mind that to him Alice is all in all." WON'T STAND FOR CUT. Both Roosevelt and Cannon Against Reducing South's Representation. A Washington dispatch says: Both President Roosevelt and Speaker Cannon have set the seal of their disapproval in plain terms upon the proposition of Congressman Kelfer and Congressman Crumpacker to cut down representation of southern states in congress for disfranchising negroes. Congressman Kelfer called at the white house Monday to talk with the president on the subject, and it is said he received an arctic chill. Both Congressman Kelfer and Congressman Crumpacker have been told by Speaker Cannon that he was in favor of a pure ballot and would never allow any bill to come up in the house of representatives which seeks to punish states for providing for a purer ballot. MORGAN AND PETTUS Announce Candidacy for Another Term in United States Senate. R. E. Niel, editor of The Solms, Ala., Journal, received a letter from United States Senator E. W. Pettus, authorizing the announcement that he is a candidate for re-election. Senator Pettus' term expires March 2, 1909, but the next legislature will name his successor, as the legislature meets but once in four years. Letters were received from both Senators Morgan and Pettus, announcing that they will be candidates for the United States senate to succeed themselves. LIBELCHARGEFALLS Jury Quickly Knocks Out Town Topics Writer. SALACIOUS TRIAL ENDED Editor of Collier's Weekly Proves in Court That Town Topics People Have Been Engaged in Black malling Schemes. The jury in the criminal branch of the supreme court at New York Friday reported that Norman Hapgood, editor of Collier's Weekly, was not guilty of criminal libel. The case had been on trial several weeks. The verdict was rendered ten minutes after the case had been given to the jury. The charge against Mr. Hapgood was brought at the instigation of Justice Joseph M. Deuel, of the court of special sessions, and was based upon an editorial in which the editor criticised Justice Deuel for his connection with Town Topics. Colonel Mann, editor of Town Topics, who was present when the verdict was announced said that he had nothing to say regarding the verdict, but that he had brought a civil suit against the Collers: As Mr. Hapgood left the room, District. Attorney Jerome, who conducted the case against him, slapped him on the shoulder, saying: "My dear old man, I'm very much pleased that it turned out as it did." They left the court room together. In his address to the jury, Mr. Jerome said he was prosecuting one of his best friends for a crime which in his private judgment he thought the defendant ought to have committed. Then, referring to Town Topics, he said: "Mr. Shepard has told you that Colonel Mann has stated that it was the natural evolution of personal journalism. If this is true it ought to be applicable to more than one daily paper in New York, whose trend is that way. There is scarcely a morning paper that does not print vile scandals and obscene matter. "Does it serve any useful purpose? Is it other than filth? It is put there for no other purpose than that of paying dividends to the stockholders. The average newspaper is run from the counting room standpoint. Many of the advertisements are but a corruption fund to induce quiet about this, that or the other. I am not here to justify Town Topics. "Justification of the editorial denouncing Justice Deuel." Mr. Jerome said, "means that Deuel was part owner of the paper, censor and, revisor of proofs, and that the paper which he edited in part, extorts money and prints scandals." Mr. Jerome said Judge Deuel violated the statute in carrying on business, but that he was not a black-mailer, and did not know about Colonel Mann's borrowings. Mr. Jerome ridiculed the idea that men like Thos. F. Ryan and J. P. Morgan could be blackmailed. "The law, not to restrict the liberty of the press, has provided that if the published article be true and published with justifiable ends, it is a defense. On the ground of excuse the prosecution concedes that this publication was honestly made in a belief that it was true. If you find that the article was true you have got to acquit." AUTOIST SMASHES RECORDS. Mile Covered by Merriott in Twenty- Eight and Two-Fifth Seconds. All world records for the kilometer and for the mile were broken in the automobile tournament at Ormond- Daytona Beach, Fla., Friday. The new figure places the mile for cars of all power at 28 1-5 second, and for the kilometer at 18 2-5 seconds. Both new records were made by Fred Merriott, driving the cligar-shaped steamer. To Be Held in Atlanta February 22. Will Be Third Meeting. The third annual "blue and gray" reunion is to be held in Atlanta, Ga., on February 28. The first reunion was held in St. Louis in 1904. The object of the association is to promote good fellowship between the veterans of the two great armies which faced each other in the sixties. Local veterans are very much interested in the coming reunion, and they will all be present when the meeting is called to orders. WHEELER FUNERAL In New York Marked by Most Impressive Services. AN IMPOSING PAGEANT Great Throngs Lined Streets Through Which Procession Passed-Ridertless Horse Led Behind the An imposing military pageant passing across Brooklyn bridge, brief services at St. Thomas Episcopal church on Fifth avenue and an escort across the North river ferry to Jersey City, where the body was placed on a train to be taker to Washington for interment in the national cemetery at Arlington, marked the funeral in New York city Sunday of Brigadier General Joseph Wheeler, cavalry leader of the confederacy and later one of the most prominent figures among the generals of the Spanish-American war. The body of the dead soldier was wrapped in the flags under which he had served with almost equal vigor and distinction—the stars and bars of the confederate states and the stars and stripes. Veterans of the southern and northern armies mingled together in paying tribute to General Wheeler, with the younger veterans of the Cuban and Philippines campaigns: of 1898 and 1899. The route of the funeral cortega was lined with great crowds, most of whom stood with bared heads as the funeral passed. The funeral took place from the home of General Wheeler's sister, Mrs. Sterling Smith, in Brooklyn, where General Wheeler died. The body was borne from the house by eighty non-commissioned officers of infantry and placed upon a flag-draped artillery caisson. The seventy-first, commanded by Colonel W. G. Bales, served under General Wheeler in Cuba, and on this occasion was given the post of honor. Infantry from Governor's Island, headquarters of the department of the east, United States Army, also joined the procession. A riderless horse, with boots reversed in the stirrups and a cavalry sword dangling from the saddle, was led just behind the caisson. The church edifice was thronged. Seats had been reserved for members of the Southern Society, the Confederate Veterans' Association, the Society of the War of 1812 and several other friends of the family. Reservations also had been made for the honorary palibearers, the staff of Frederick D. Grant, United States Army, and the officers of the escort. The altar of the church was almost hidden beneath the floral offering, among them a great wreath sent by President Roosevelt. The brief services were conducted by the Rev. Ernest Stires, rector of the church, who was formerly rector of the Church of the Good Shepherd in Augusta, Ga., which is situated near the birthplace of General Wheeler, assisted by Rev. Morgan Dix, rector of Trinity church. Dr. Stires, in beginning his sermon, said: "This is one of the great occasions of our lives. For we are met to honor the memory of a rare man. I do not speak to you of him principally as a citizen, statesman, or soldier, for the mere record of his deeds is far more eloquent than any praise of ours could be. It is of the man I think at this hour. Was he entitled to be, called great? It is not difficult for you to decide. He was distinguished by courage without rashness, by wisdom without pride, by gentleness without weakness, by patience without heedlessness and by justice with which always leaned toward mercy. The body arrived in Washington at 10:55 Sunday night, and was at once taken to St. John church. A detachment of Spanish war veterans formed an escort from the station and constituted a guard of honor at the casket. FOUR MANGLED IN WRECK. Passenger and Freight Crash Together on Seaboard Air Line. Northbound passenger train No. 68 and a southbound extra freight on the Seaboard Air Line collided head on 15 miles north of Columbia, S. C. Tuesday morning, and as a result of four men are dead and three are injured. The dead are: Engineer A. A. Smeck and Fireman Will White, colored, of the freight train; Postal Clerk H. A. Pattille, Ortice, Fla., and M. C. Watkins of Putnam Hall, Fla. Engage in Lively Joint Debate Over Question of Disfranchising Negroes in the State of Georgia. With sleet and snow falling thick and fast, an audience of 500 people gathered in the auditorium at Barnesville, Ga., Friday night to hear the joint discussion of the disfranchisement question between Congressman T. W. Hardwick of the tenth congressional district, and Sam W. Small of Georgia. The debate was opened by Mr. Hardwick, who is for disfranchisement. There are suffrage restrictions in many states, he said, but as to negro suffrage, the question is whether it is right or wrong, or, if wrong, let's get the remedy for it. Negro suffrage, he declared, originated in the hellish brain of Thad Stevens. Mr. Hardwick read at some length from Savoyard against negro suffrage and the political equality of the races. He quoted Abraham Lincoln, to the effect that he had never been in favor of bringing about the social or political equality of the races. If to leave the negroes with the ballot boxes don't leave him with political equality, where does it leave him? he asked. The trend of sentiment at the north is now turning against this political équality, he said. Mr. Hardwick consumed some time in reading quotations and supreme court decisions in order to lay the foundation for his argument. The inferiority and criminal characteristics of the negro race were dwelt upon at some length by Mr. Hardwick. What do we propose to do about this thing in Georgia? Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana have acted and pointed out the way. Georgia remains the only state with any considerable number of negroes which has not taken steps to protect her white men and women from this inferior criminal race." Mr. Hardwick then read his disfranchisement hill, which was defeated in two legislatures. "I am not ashamed of it," he said. "I am ready to die for it tonight." Following are some of the shots fired, against disfranchisement by Mr. Small: Giving the negro the ballot was the most monumental crime against the nation, but before we can wipe it out two-thirds of the states must be brought to give their assent. Is it wise to invite upon ourselves trouble that Stephens, Toombs and Jenkins and Wofford refused to invite? Toombs and Stephens and others got together and put in the constitution the cumulative tax-paying provision. Crumpacker had told him the author of that provision was the wisest statesman of the age, for it was supreme court proof, and congress could not change it. Enforce an educational test and you will disfranchise more white men and enfranchise three times as many negroes as are going to the polls today. Mr. Small declared Mr. Hardwick and his associates were trying to substitute the educational test for the tax-paying test all the time, and only changed about three weeks ago when they found it would not do. The grandfather clause has never been carried to the supreme court of the United States. Every lawyer whose opinion is worth anything will tell you, when it is carried up there, it will be declared invalid. Comptroller General Wright had said it would take over $3,000,000 to pay the back taxes of the negroes and get them where they could vote. Who is going to pay the back taxes of the negroes and get them where they can vote? Who is going to pay any such price as that? Whenever you find any durn fools who have got three or four million dollars to throw away, then the negro vote will become a peril and not till then. He declared the only object of this distranchisement movement was to make an opportunity for men who had been tried in the balance and found wanting to get back into power. Must Answer in Court Proceeding Brought by Alabama Woman. Brought by John W. Sarto. Under his lay name of Joseph Sarto, Pope Plus X is mentioned as one of the several defendants in a suit brought in New York City to test the validity of the bequests made under the will of Mrs. Mary E. Phelan, who died in 1855. Mrs. Phelan was the widow of Edward Phelan, a merchant of Mobile, Ala. The pope is residuary legatee to a large estate, which is said by a relative of the Phelan family, to be worth some hundreds of thousands of dollars. Christian IX Passes Away Suddenly in Copenhagen. Was Monarch-Greatly Beloved by His Subjects and Related by Blood:to Christian the Ninth, the aged king of Denmark, who occupied the throne sixty-three years, dean of the crowned heads of Europe, father of King George of Greece, Queen Alexandra of Great Britain and Ireland and of the Dowager Empress Maria Fedoria of Russia, grandfather of King Haakon the Seventh of Norway, and related by blood or by marriage to most of the European rulers, died with startling suddenness at Amalienberg palace in Copenhagen, Monday. Prince Frederick, his eldest son, who will be known as Frederick the Eighth, will be proclaimed king. The official bulletin was issued Monday evening: "His majesty died at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon. After his majesty had brought this morning's audience to a conclusion, he appeared to be quite well and proceeded to luncheon as usual. Toward the end of the meal he gave evidence of indisposition, and was compelled to retire to bed at 2:30 p.m. His majesty passed away peacefully, the symptoms indicating heart failure." This bulletin tells concisely the story of the death scene, which found every one, even those who realized the increasing feebleness of the king, unprepared for the sudden shock. The death of King Christian has plunged half the courts of Europe into the deepest mourning, and brought a sense of personal loss, as well as of sincere grief, to everyone throughout the kingdom of Denmark, reaching even to the humblest cottage, evidences of which are shown everywhere. It has cast a pall over the palaces of the monarchs of Great Britain, Russia, Norway and Greece. When the flag flying over the palace was placed at half mast and the news spread from mouth to mouth, it was not believed by the great crowds which gradually assembled in the squar in front of the Amallenberg palace, but when uncertainty gave place to certainty, those in the assemblage shed tears and dispersed in respectful silence. King Christinn, who was nearing 30 years of age, appeared to be in his usual health Monday morning. After taking breakfast he held a public audience, which it has been his custom to do every Monday morning. The reception was largely attended, and his majesty conversed freely and affably with a number of officials and other persons. When the function was over the king, though appearing to be slightly fatigued, attended lunchean with the members of his family, among whom were the Dowager Empress of Russia and his brother, General Prince Hans. During the meals his majesty complained of indisposition and was assisted to his bed room by the dowager empress and Prince Hans. Just as the king breathed his last Crown Prince Frederick entered the room and the other members of the royal family arrived shortly afterwards. Mandate Issued by United States Supreme Court. The supreme court of the United States Monday issued a stay of the mandate in the case of James B. Howard, under sentence in Kentucky to life imprisonment on the charge of complicity in the murder of Governor Goebel in Frankfort in 1900. An opinion was delivered by the court on January 2, which was adverse to Howard. 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. The Guaranty Aid and Relief Society SOL. C. JOHNSON, Supt. of Agencies. B. W.

GEORGIA BRIEFS Sea Island Growers to Meet. President Harvie Jordan has issued a call for a convention of the Sea Island Cotton Association to be held at Valdosta on February 8. The sea island cotton planters of Florida and south Georgia were organized last November, and since that time the work has been enthusiastically pushed. Some of the important subjects to be discussed at the coming conventions are as to the devising of a better system of holding cotton, plans for the producers and manufacturers of long staple cotton to get closer together, and the imperative needs of immediate organization. *** Ballroad Commission Enlisted. Judge W. T. Newman of the United States district court at Atlanta signed an order which in effect temporarily enjoins the railroad commission of Georgia from enforcing the provisions of circular 309, relating to freight rates on stoves, stove plates, stove pipe, furniture and hollowware. The order is the result of a bill of complaint filed by the Atlantic Coast Line, the Southern and the Central of Georgia railways. The bill is directed against the railroad commissioners for the state of Georgia, and the defendants are ordered by the court to show cause in the United States court in Atlanta at 10 a.m. February 12, why a permanent injunction should not be granted. ```markdown ``` Who Shall Occupy Home? Lizzie Rutherford Chapter Daughters of the Confederacy of Columbus is making a vigorous protest against the Winnie Davis memorial dormitory at the State Normal School at Athens being occupied by any one except daughters or descendants of confederate veterans. The question of who shall designate the girls who will occupy the dormitory, the Daughters of the Confederacy or the authorities of the normal school, is quite a live issue just now. Lizzie Rutherford chapter holds pronounced views on the subject, and has just mailed a circular letter to the other chapters of the Georgia division of the Daughters of the Confederacy. Rawlings Preferred Convict Camp. Leonard, one of the famous trio of Rawlings brothers. Lowndes county's star prisoners, has been returned to Waldonta jail from the penitentiary Treasurer of the State of Georgia. camp at Babcock, Ga., where he has been confined for several weeks. Young Rawlings' return to jail was ordered by Judge Mitchell a few days ago, on a motion by John R. Cooper, his counsel, and he will be kept in Valdqsta until the cases against the Rawlingses, now in the supreme court of the United States, are passed on by that tribunal. Leonard did not want to return to jail, and objected strenuously to being removed from the penitentiary camp. He says he had rather spend ten days in the convict camp than to stay one day in jail. * Q * Will Try Tax Cases Again. The famous Georgia railroad and Central of Georgia tax cases recently decided by the supreme court in favor of the state's contention that the Western of Alabama stock in the hands of these Georgia corporations are taxable in this state, will be tried before Judge Pendleton, in Fulton superior court, in Atlanta. This statement will seem rather unusual in view of the fact that it was generally believed the litigation had been concluded so far as the state courts are concerned. But the decision of the supreme court, though it settled all the law involved, was not, in fact, a final decree. It was what is called in legal parlance an interlocutory decree involving the question as to whether or not an injunction should be granted preventing the state from collecting the taxes claimed. The railroads propose to take an appeal from the decision of the supreme court of Georgia to the supreme court of the United States, and the latter tribunal cannot entertain an appeal except from a final decree. ```markdown ``` Way Open for Damage Sults. Judge Emory Speer of the United States court states that the city council of Macon should inquire if they have not violated another tradition of the constitution in the resentencing of a number of prisoners who were on county chaiangang, and, according to Judge Speer, entitled to a discharge from custody. Judge Speer said it would have been much the wiser and more humano thing for the city to have released the offenders, thus avoiding damage suits that may be instituted. --- Nunnally Is In the Race. Dr. G. A. Nunnally of Newnan confirms the previous accounts concerning his candidacy for governor, and states positively that he is in the field. He expresses his willingness to discuss any issues in the platform outlined by himself and those who have urged his candidacy, although he states that he hardly deems it necessary, as he says: "There are advocates of these principles all over the state." "When asked if the old standing candidates had not about got all the votes committed to their candidacy, he said: "No, not by a million. A few have them from personal consideration, and to pay some old political debt to secure a pull after the election have intimated that possibly they might prefer the candidate to whom they were talking to somebody else who was worse or had less to offer, but no man is bound by any such pledges. A promise to do wrong has no obligation in morals." Dago Labor Proves Unreliable. The employment of imported Italian labor by the Virginia-Carolina Chemical company in Savannah has taken on a new turn. The laborers brought in some time ago by the employing company seem mutually willing to be rid of each other. Few of the original number remain in the employ of the company. Some of them have left the city, while others are peddling on the streets. The company, however, has not given up its idea of making use of this sort of labor, and it has dispatched John Trapania, the son of the Italian consul, to New York, for the purpose of securing laborers there end sending them to Savannah. Carroll D. Wright, United States commissioner of labor, has taken this phase of the matter up and is conducting an investigation to determine whether this should be allowed. ```markdown ``` Buncoed Through Old Land Grant. A man who gave his name as J. T. Peavy, and said he was from Nebraska, called at the office of Secretary of State Philip Cook a few days ago to investigate a title which he said he had bought to 219,000 acres of land in Washington county, Georgia. The title on the face of it appeared to be a good one. The only trouble was that the first link in the chain was a bad one. It was a bogus Georgia land grant, one of the many which have been trafficked in at various points in the country, and out of which the purchasers have secured only a little sorrowful experience. The land grant possessed by Mr. Peavy was alleged to have been made to Enoch Nilson. The grant purported to have been recorded in Book 4E, page 514, in Secretary Cook's office. A reference to the book and page in question showed that it contained a grant of 55 acres in Wilkes county to Isaac Hodge.

THOUGHT WAGNER WAS FUNNY Peculiar Compliment Pald Composer by Unmusical Enolishman. A story which Alfred Reisenauer, the pianist, tells of Richard Wagner relates to a London dinner at which the great composer, was requested to be especially amiable to Lord Pitkin, a most unmusical man but high in social councils. In due season the two were presented. "Where is your entertainment to be? asked his lordship after the introduction, when Wagner's forthcoming concert was mentioned. "At St. James' hall," replied the composer. "I trust your lordship will be able to come." "I may, I may," replied the great personage. The concert took place as scheduled and a week or more later a patron of Wagner gave a soiree in honor of the composer. Lord Pitkin was prominent among the guests and he selzed the first opportunity to walk over to Wagner and congratulate him. "I was at your entertainment," said the polite nobleman, "and I don't know when I've enjoyed anything more. I laughed till I cried. You are very funny, Herr Wagner." The company stopped talking and an amazed look spread over Wagner's face. "But you know," continued the affable lord, "it was almost half an hour before I recognized you with your black face and crinkly hair." When Lord Pitkin stopped laughing he saw that he was alone in his merriment. "Why—what—I hope I haven't—it was St. James' hall, wasn't it—I—er—" Some one then explained that St. James' hall consisted of an upper and a lower auditorium and that his lordship evidently had wandered into the one where the Burgess & Moore minstrels were giving a jubilee entertainment. "Wagner's expression," says Reisenauer in concluding the anecdote, "was a study, but Lord Pitkin's—well, his was an entire course of instruction." FRENCHMAN CROWNED SPEED KING.

Wanted Real Terms and Comm ADDRESS THE HOME OFFICE, 468 West HOW CLIMATE AFFECTS HOW CLIMATE AFFECTS BLONDES Did the ancient highly civilized nations of the past die out because they were blonde and therefore unfitted for the regions in which they flourished? Dr. Charles E. Woodruff, a surgeon in the United States army, who has written a book on the subject, believes that this was the case. He maintains that too much light is injurious to white races through its actinic or chemical effects, from which the dark skin pigments of swarthy races protect them. Thus he explains why, by survival of the fittest, dark races are found in tropical lands, why Europeans have always failed to colonize the tropics and why blondes disappear when they migrate southward. Says a reviewer in the Edinburgh Medical Journal: "The blonde and intelligent rulers of regions suited better for more swarthy inhabitants have regularly in the course of ages died out, while their subjects, thoroughly acclimatized to their domicile, remain. Egypt has been the theater of immigration of intellectual races over and over again; in each case these disappeared and civilization decayed, though the native fellah survived and survives. 'Theo will,' the author predicts, 'never be another dark age, for the present Aryan conquerors rule it from London and are not colonizers.'

Below the outer crust of cooled and solidified rocks there must be a larger zone of rock which still remains solid, because its temperature is less than that of the melting point corresponding to the pressure under which it rests, and below that again there must be rock or magma in a state of fusion; it is to this magma that Pref. Doelter looks for the primary source of all volcanic activity. At the same time the depth at which this primary reservoir of magma lies and the pressure under which it is confined are so great that a direct eruption from it is inconceivable, but when, by movements in the overlying crust or otherwise, a channel is opened the magma may rise to a depth where it is surrounded by rock at a lower temperature than the melting point. In these circumstances solidification begins. From all volcanoes large quantities of steam, of carbonic acid and other gases are evolved, and the course of of various degrees of intensity up to absolute blackness is alone adapted for lasting existence in most regions of the world." There is too much sunshine in the United States and none of the races that have come to this country until recently is adapted to the climate, Dr. Woodruff thinks, except the Jews. All the rest are degenerating from excessive light. The lower Mediterranean races, however, are now flocking over, and if the blonde types die out as they did in Greece and Italy during the decadence of these two countries, United States history may repeat theirs, though Dr. Woodruff believes that the northern types may survive in sufficient numbers to prevent the destruction of the republic provided it takes warning and limits the franchise to the races represented by these types. About seven centuries were required, according to Dr. Woodruff, for the climate of Greece to destroy its blondes. In 500 B. C., the period of its greatest literary glory, the decadence of the Greeks was already evident and shows itself to-day in their literature and art. Dr. Woodruff points out how ancient Greek statues exhibit many of the stigmata of degeneracy; even a famous head of Juno has arrested development of the jaw and is "the head of a dying race." Chicago News. every lava stream is marked by clouds of steam evolved from the cooling lava. At one time—and the idea is still common—this steam was supposed to have been derived from sea water which had obtained access to the molten lava while still underground, but this explanation is now generally rejected, being impossible in some cases and inadequate in all, and the greater part of the steam and other emanations from a volcano are now regarded as directly derived from an original store in the interior of the earth. However this may be, it is certain that the magma from which volcanic lava is derived is not merely in a state of igneous fusion, but is combined with water and gases, which are given off as it solidifies, and by their escape frequently form miniature volcanoes, on the surface of lava streams. If the solidification takes place underground, the steam and gases are expelled, and, if there is no free escape, pressure may increase till it becomes great enough to overcome the resistance of the overlying rock and so lead to an eruption and the formation of a volcano, whose character will depend on the nature of the reservoir from which the eruption took place. 72 Be 2 5 oneness FROGS OF COMMERCE SRAISING THEM FOR MARKET A sPROFITABLE PURSUIT.

From 400 to 800 eggs are the spawn of a single female, ‘The eggs hatch the tadpole or pollywog. This in turn becomes a baby frog. Between the time of change from tadpole to frog about a year elapses, and it takes*the frog about two and a half or three years to grow large enough for market. .

It grows in the springs on ‘farms and ranches and {s considered to be more palatable than the bull frog, but fs smaller, Farmers who have these frogs in thelr springs refuse to allow them to be killed, clatming that they. purify the water.

That It Is Possible To Lift and Propet’ Enormous Welghts Has Been Dem onstrated—Outline of One Mae chine Under Construction. Is aerlal navigation practical? And when fs {t coming? These questions have octupied the minds and been the aim of many distingulshed men. Tho. greatest drawback to experimenting In this lino fs the expense connected therewith; otherwise I believe the question would have been practically solved long before-now, says a writer fn the Chicago Chronicle. Wealthy men as a rule take very little fnterest In real progress unless profit-ts con- nected therewith and in algit, Experiments have see carried on tor several yeats in the Helzhbothood of Washington, and judging from what I have'seen, what has been es- tablished, I do not hesitate to ,atate that is 1s possible to lift and propel enormous welght through the alr by proper appliances, and I take pleasure in submitting an outline of an appar atus sought by mankind for centuries, which,-from an engineering stend- polit, seems to fulfill the conditions for navigating the afr independent of wind and weather. The present apparatus contains one engine of almost common type of three horse power and welghing Atty Fist . ee Cee [ = - one pounds, The welght of the car, including propeller, ete, ts fitty pounds, making a total weight of 101 pounds, the ‘total lifting power being 108, This. leaves seven pounds for oll, which is suficient to lift the ma- chine and hold the same In the alr about two hours. This 1s certainly gratifying, al- though the apparatus has no practical value, except from a sclentifc stand- point and from an engineering point, to be bullt further upon, And It can not be seen why the true or practical aerfal locomotive can not be construc ted on this line. In the new plan two coupes will be sxplored Gach to Reve at Teast fifty horse¢power, and they can be constructed weighing about five pounds per horse power, making a total of 500 peounds. The weight of car, ete, will be about the same. This would be a total of 1,000 pounds; one man, 150 pounds; oll’ for five hours’ spin, 500 pounds; total welght, 1,650 pounds. The lfting power per engine being 1,800 pounds, this leaves sufficient margin. for safety, the power of one engine giving the desired direc. tion and speed. In ascending or descending the ma- chine will appear as shown {n Figuro 1, the weighted lever arm belng in a Bosttion which keeps the propelling wheel in a line with center of gravity of the apparatus. Figure 2 shows the machine as it appears when making a horizontal filght; It will advance in the direction ‘toward which the propelling shafts may be inclined from the vertical: ‘The whole apparatus will be con- structed of highest grade steel. This first will cost approximately $10,000, 80 ft will be seen it avlll be a costly machine In the first place and costly to operate, as the fuel cost is about . 100 pounds of oll per hour. The pro- pelling shafts are given an asial in-_ clination with reference to the conter of gravity of the car of the locomotive in order to prevent counter rotation ot tho car around the propelling shafts.’ The two propelling wheels ro- tate in opposite directions. Rarefas- tion or negative pressure 1s produced above the sald propelling wheels. Tae resulting difference between the pressure upon the lower and upper sides of the propeller wheels will give the lifting power. The rotation of the propelled wheels in opposite directlons exerts a-great steadying effect upon. the locomotive by virtue of the “sy- ratory action.” oh . From the facts established thero .

Efforts of Citizens Pre- walleth Much. Last summer, Judge Cann 0! the Superior Court in his pre. sentment to the grand jury gave timely admonition in a respecta. ble and conservative vein to the colored citizens as to their duty to each other especially in uplifting the weaker ones of the race, In‘reply to the honor: able Judge Tne Trrpone in be- Half of the citizens thanked him for his timely admonition and asker his co-operation and that of other officials in the breaking up of the degrading things upheld by the law, viz. The degrading “tunks, the robbing policy shops and the money sucking loan offices. Immedi- ately after this the grand jury made several successful raids on policy shone, At that time noth- ing could be done to close the “fanks,” on account of the tax already paid for the year, but later on the license was made prohibitive. To reduce this license, the proprietors of these “funks” hired a lawyer to in- dace the city council to do so. This was attempted at the meet- ing of the council’ two weeks ago and would have been effect- ed, but for the request made by Tux TRIBUNE man, Capt. F. F. Jones, Messts. L, E. Williams, J. F. Jones, E, B. Roberts. R. T. Spencer, A. G. McDowell and E. W.Houstoun. Coundil post- poned action to the meeting held on Wednesday night last. Sa the meantime Rev. J. D. Jordan of the First Baptist Churcli took up the fight and did much to create public sentiment against it. This was supplemented by petitions from the Men’s Sunday Unb, the Evangelical Ministers Union, and sAllen’s Endeavor League. Notices were then sent out toa number of citizens to be present at the meeting of the council Wednesday night. During the afternoon Tue Tri- BUNE was notified that it was Jecided that the obnoxious or- Jinance would be withdrawn, butat any rate a large number of citizens among whom were Revs. J. A. Lindsay, E. Lowe- yr L. W, McMillan, J. A. rockett, Jas. Jackson, H. L. Haywood ; Profg. J, A. C. But- ler, Jno. McIntdsh ! Messrs. Pj, A. Denegall, Geo. S. Williams, W. R. Fields, R. Barnes, | Wm.

YQIMMBD PAY,’” ©. SAID SLITTLE BREECHES.” “Nni-Sea” of **Little Rreeches.?? Dear Mr. Editor: As we ‘Journey througbllife, let uq smile bytae way. Now, ‘what do you think of this? You know our people as a whole are way'behind ia mat- ters pertaining to the law ; and it certainly would be worth the time of any individual or body of men to disseminate among the masses of people, such elementary knowl- edge of the lav as will help them to be- come better citizens, Iam one of those who believe that our lawyers are the best fitted for this task by this reason of their being specially prepared for this kind of work, When d say the elementary or rudimentary knowledge of the law, I do ‘not mean that the attempt should be made to make us all lawyers, but Ido mean that our people should know about such mat- ters as arrests, contracts, etc. I feel that there are many of our people who suffer not because they are bad, but because they are at adisadvantage by being igno- rantof the faw. Itis our plain duty to Belp our fellow-men,in this matter and as I view it, it is pre-eminently the duty of our lawyers to take advance ground along ‘this line, Now some such views as these which I set forth were presented. to one | of our lawyers, suggesting and inviting ‘him totake this matter under considera- tion and on some Sunday afternoon ad- dress the Sunday Club along this line. Now, what do you suppose I'was told as to the answer this lawyer made? This Tittle 2xq, hamefat, lawyer exclaimed “T wants pay for may talks.” Now what @’ye think of that? The idea of this Liti- patian, Little Breeches, Corporal of “De Hot Air Brigade," talking about “gimme pay for my talk!” 7 \"T have heard school teachers deliver some very able talks before the club ; I have heard medical doctors addrecs the Club ; Ihave heard ministers of the gos- pel hold the audience spell bound so bril- Hant and well said, were their remarks. I have heard men speakat the Sunday Club with whom "Little Breeches” could not be comparéd in intellectual accomplish- ment than one of the little four legged animals (noted for their long ears, their stubhorness, and their braying) could be compared to Socrates or Aristotle. | Mr. Editor, if you call this a spirlt to uplift the race ; if this is to be thé exam. ple for us to look for from our represen- tatives in legal profession, then “I take to the woods,’” | Mr, Editor, whenever “Little Breech- es” is goingtodo' any talking, you may put your foot down on it, that on that day Iam going home, call’ my dog, Na- poleon Bonapart, and together we will read over Lock's “Conduct of the Under- standing ;” and should we have time, we may read over Plato's "Phaedo,” in which as you know Socrates sets forth bis views on the “Immortality of the soul.” You know Socrates had a pecu- iar {dea about this. He believed that, when a persoh died, the soul did? not die, but passed into some animal it would en- ter some other person or animal, and so but the soul itself never dies. Thus, if Socrates were living, he upon observing the actions of ‘Little Breeches" would say: “Thouart descended from Balaam's little creature.” Yours truly, “Nur SED.” They do tell me that the Sunday Club exercises tobe held on Feb. 12th, Beach Institute is going to bring the Whole town ont.

The Evangelical Ministers Union at the meeting last Tuesday held its annual election with the following result: Rev. E. Lowery, president; Rev. L. W. McMillan, Secretary; Rev. W. L. Cash, Treasurer. The new members added were, Rev. J. A. Lindsay, D. D., Rev. J. A. Brockett, D. D., Rev. W. L. Cash, B. D., Rev. F. A. White of Clyo, and Rev. P. G. Hunter. The Union proposes to widen its scope of influence and consider every point of interest as regards to humanity, and especially the black man. After much discussion a committee was appointed and the Union adjourned to meet at 10 o'clock a. m. Wednesday. We bespeak much good accomplished by this body. Called a Faster. Sunday afternoon last was set apart as the time for the calling of a pastor by the Second Baptist church. Much interest centered in the call not only by the members of the church, but by the citizens. 1 The members of the church turned out in large numbers and the entire proceedings of the meeting were harmonious and had effect for good. Three names were submitted for the pastorate: Rev. J. H. May, of St. Louis, Mo., Rev. J. J. Durham of South Carolina, Rev. D. W. Cannon of Darien. The former was easily the choice of the members. The votes for the other two candidates were less than a dozen. The vote was afterwards made unanimous. Rev. May spent several days in the city and preached two Sundays at the church last month. He immediately impressed the members. He is a graduate of Fisk University and studied theology at Roger Williams. He is only 34 years of age and holds an excellent record since his entrance in the ministry. Rev. May is now the pastor of Corinthian Baptist Church of St. Louis, Mo., and president of the Ministers Alliance of that place. The church and the alliance have given him excellent recommendation from which this church has made no mistake in the call. This church contains a membership of some of our best citizens and in their recent troubles they had the sympathy of the various denominations and other citizens who now express the hope for extreme harmony and prosperity in every way. It is understood that Rev. May will accept the call and take immediate charge. Interesting and Helpful. The revival meetings now being conducted at the First Congregational Church by Rev. James Wharton, an English evangelist, have been unusually helpful and powerful. A genuine revival is on in the church. Including Wednesday night, there has already been fifty conversions. The meeting contains nothing of the sensational nature, but are full of the spirit. Many christians who have been in the good way for years express them selves, as feeling new all over. Rev. Wharton's sermons are "so simple that a child could understand them; so forcible that the hardest quail; so reasonable that any honest doubter must be convinced." The attendance has been growing every night. There will be special services on Sunday, with song service in the evening. Rev. Wharton will preach at 11 a.m., and 8 p. m. Subject of morning service, "Four different ways, in which we may know that we are Christians." This is said to be one of his greatest sermons. Evening subject "The glorious gospel." The meetings will continue every night next week, closing on next Friday night. The services begin at 8 o'clock. The public is cordially invited to come and hear Rev. Wharton, and take a part in the meetings. One of the most enjoyable social events took place at the residence of Mrs. Mamie Green, 627 Mercer Street in honor of her birthday. The dining room was decorated with pink, white, and blue, and beautiful flowers on the table to correspond. Games were played and dancing followed. Mies Johnson rendered a few of her selections which made the evening a very enjoyable one. Among those present were Meadames Inez Foster, Frances Smith, Ella Harris, Lena Smith, Mamie Sampson, Willie Lee, Mattie Mitchel, Stella Carter, Emma Freeman, Mamie Green, Misses Lizzie Lepart, Bertha Mordecai, Matilda Brown, Mary Fabers, Georgia Johnson Messrs F.

Bartholow, pastor of the James M. E. Church, preached Sunday on "The Limitations of Life." The text was chosen from Colosians tivls: "Remember my bonds." Dr. Bartholow sold: It is hard to conceive how the glowing and comprehensively statements of the first three chapters of Paul's Epistle to the Corinthians could be reinforced. Each sentence is so full of divine truth, it fairly oversows with its Christiay abundance. Yet with the words of our text Paul id most positively and beautifully reinforce every other sentence of this intensely spiritual epistle. He did it in that charmingly inferential way that added the warmth of the heart to the purely logical statements of the mind. In writing to the Colossians of Christ's divinity and of the complete and joyous loyalty every soul should render to Him, Paul in the few words of our text delicately refers to the example found in his own experience. "Remember my bonds." This was an infusion of experience to all the preceding precepts that developed an incalculable force in that unlimited element of sympathy which were at once operative. Paul had no intention of glorifying himself or his sufferings, neither did he sentimentally long for human comfort. This very brief allusion to himself in our text was but to strengthen and confirm that feeling which would exalt and glorify Christ Jesus the Lord. What Christian in Colosse could have read or heard Paul's letter and not have felt when he came to the words, "Remember my bonds," this man writes out of life's experience and of what he knows—not like so many of the religionists and philosophers of that time out of his imaginations and dreams. Yet another inference is contained in out text. It is that which emphasizes the fact of life's limitation. In writing his advices and directions to the Colossians Paul did the very best his position would allow him to do. He wished and prayed to do more. That more was to be with them in person, to give them all that he felt was in personal short for Christ and His kingdom. Over. against this wish, this desire, this prayer, was his physical imprisonment—a limitation. Paul was chained. The things he would do he could not do. The fact of life's limitation, its recognition and resolution are suggestively presented in these words of the heart. The fact of limitation is apparent everywhere, in everything and everyperson. Go to the uttermost boundaries of space—to the sum and stars, limitations are there, their boundaries are fixed that they cannot pass. Gravitation, chemical affinity and other agents of law bind them with invisible chains to their limits. As with these mighty spheres, so with the tiniest atom; the plane of activity and expression is fixed. The reign of law marks insuperable barriers. In persons as well as in things the fact of limitation is strikingly manifest. The body in which we live is clearly confined in bonds. Each body has an amount of nervous and muscular energy which limits all that may be received or given. The bonds of place and heredity bind each man to a very narrow zone of physical and mental activity. That a man is what he eats and where he lives is a certain degree manifestly true. The spiritual in man is limited in all its expression and life by the presence of the carnal. Paul's pathetic cry: "O, wretched man that I am; who shall deliver me from the body of this death?" is applicable to all the children of Adam's race. These distinctions are the marks of a general limitation, the bonds that all men in their investigations and experience must remember because they are of themselves. Within the general limitations there are special and personal limitations. Mental endowments, disposition, health and grace are largely determinative in establishing the individual bonds that cannot be passed. The nervous prostrations, the brain fag, the strokes of apoplexy, the creeping lassitudes that seize so many of our bright and energetic people are in a great majority of instances but evidences of failure to know or remember the physical and mental limitations to which life is conditioned. Failure to record and recognize personal limitations and to be directed by them causes not only lapse and disaster in our service to Christ, but oftimes the essential breaking of the moral law. Our fathers were accustomed to keep the commandments, to worship God and reverence His day by preparing hours in advance for that most solemn and imperative duty. Saturday preparation of body and spirit was, in the thought of our Puritan ancestors, essential to the real keeping of those commandments that enforce our duty to God. They had a fine recognition of the limitations inherent in the body. Their preparation for the Lord's day was a "remembrance of bonds." It is only the fashion in these progressive days to ridicule the religious practices of these fathers of our country. With all of which ridicule we have no sympathy, continuing to believe that our grip on God, for loyalty to Christ and His law they continue to be the most inspiring and helpful examples. They certainly shed a helpful light concerning the meeting of limitations in the keeping of those commandments that refer to God and His day. They made religion a life and found delight in it, largely because they remembered their limitations. They refused to rob God by allowing the world and its activities to so rush in upon them during six days that there was nothing for the Sabbath but physical weariness and dullness. In yet another relation it is imperative that we remember our own and others' limitations. In relation to others we should be quick to ask: Are we understood and do we understand? Believing fully that every man is more than anything he does or says, we are led to believe that all avenues of expression and reception are a degree limited and incomplete—"are in honds." Every man has in him a best and a worst, neither of which fairly represents him. Many, however, are to them final from their experience of one or the other phase of life. When I read Cardinal Newman's "Lead, Kindly Light," I think of a highly intellectual, devout and charitable character. On the other hand, when I read his bigoted and narrow estimate of arbus, especially his statement that a publisher of heresy (meaning, of course, anything contrary to his religious denomination), should be treated as if he were embodied evil." I think naturally of a narrow, unsympathetic and bigoted man. It is very evident that any fair estimate of the cardinal as a character cannot be obtained from either or both of these writings. He had his limitations. They must be remembered. Not until they are estimated can there be a substantial understanding of the person back of the utterances. But are we understood? We, too, commonly assume the; we are. Thinking we fully understand what we say and mean, we naturally infer that others do. But do they? "Oh, the trouble, the heartaches, the disasters and the deaths to happiness and peace that have come to this old world simply because people have not understood one another," exclaims the writer of an hundred years ago. Human nature has naturally changed since that day. An appeal to experience must coincide even the most superficial observer that this is deeply true, even in the everyday experience of life. Acknowledging the fact of limitation and realizing its force in life, we find the one sure approach to its resolution is the Christ of Paul. Our Saviour entered our limitations. He cook upon Himself the form of a servant; He became obedient to death, even the death of the cross; He empties Himself; He was in all points tended as are we. He remembered our bonds. - Limitation itself brought troubles to His feet. Christ made it master to His eternal glory by living: (l) The simple life—a life of forebight and order. In Him there was no trespassing of body upon mind, or mind upon spirit. Each was kept to its sphere. There was in His soul no conflict in the duties owed God, man and self. The temptation in the wilderness is a perfect presentation of His clear and simple recognition of these duties that leaves no confusion in the mind of the disciples. In Christ was no waste, no confusion whatever. He had for each and every thing the full measure of its chin. In His speech He gave line upon line, precept upon precept. He did nothing in secret. (2) The charitable life. Christ ever made allowance in all human equations for the elements of ignorance, inheritance and condition. He remembered the bonds of men, their limitations. Thus we saw Him dealing with the individual as the wise and lowing parent does with the child, as the teacher with the pal. He built on that best possible interpretation of each man's nature, which required ever and always a complete knowledge of limitations. He healed some in public because their bonds would stand it; others He windrew to the quiet place alone. He recognized conditions best for the individual. When two of His favored disciples desired to burn those men whom they judged heretics; when Peter followed afar off and at last altogether denied Him, with what divine consideration He remembered their limitations and forgave them! With Christ there was neither Greek nor Jesus, circumcision or uncircumcision. Hebarian, Scythian, bond nor free, because His charity understood and eliminated all differences that such distinctions impLIED. The triumphant life. Christ saw the crown above the cross, life beyond death, and lived in them. Hope, with all its expectancies, was His. He saw the morning when it was midnight. He knew the Father knew. The triumphant life of Christ was lived for us, and so became vicarious. We could not live it ourselves, because of an unnatural bondage—the awful bondage of him. Christ, however, lives it for us, and shares it with us, making it possible for us to have His simple, loving and triumphant life. "I live, not I but Christ liveth in me." Go, what comfort there is to the poor, wounded heart that is struggling to do its best against sin and trial in the narrow straits of life to say and realize, "He remembers my bonds." He took them upon Himself. Simple faith in this truth brings relief and ultimate triumph. This gracious truth suggests another limitation that we speak of with profoundest reverence, the limitation of God Himself in the matter of besowing pardon, peace and love upon the heart of man. God has, according to the revelation He has given us, "limits that He cannot pass in the salvation of man. The salvation in Christ marks the boundaries of God's ability to save the human soul. God cannot force the soul's will to accept of His Son for salvation. He presents Him with all love and power; for He will have all man to be saved, and to unto the knowledge of the truth. Beyond this He cannot go. God is bound by His gift of free will. Christ the God cried: "I would but ye would not." May God help all of us to recognise and act upon the limitations to which God has committed us. Strength For To-Day. God promises strength to enable us to do our present duty. If we believe that and act accordingly, we shall never, never fail. "As thy days, so shall thy strength be." That is the promise—a promise that never fails. Yesterday has gone, not to return. Tomorrow has not come to us, and it may never come. To-day is our day, and it is the only portion of time that is. Men who regret that they did not do their work of yesterday, lose their present time because they are not giving their whole strength to it. Men who fear that they will not be able to do toorrow's work are losing to-day, and are not getting ready for toorrow. God does not promise strength for yesterday which is gone, nor for toorrow which may never come, but for to-day, which is here. Let us therefore, trust, and use, while we have it, and'ds promised strength for to-day. "Sufficient unto the day is the evil (and the good) thereof,"—Sunday School Times.

Swift & Company The total distributive sales for 1906 exceeded This total is realized from the sale of fresh meats (beef, mutton and pork), provisions, produce (poultry, butter and eggs), soaps, glues, oils, bones, fertilizers, feathers, casings, hides, wools, pelts and other by-products derived from cattle, sheep, hogs and poultry. The industry is operated on a margin of less than 2 cents to each dollar of sales. Swift & Co. do not sell at retail. Their entire output is sold at wholesale to many thousands of dealers in various parts of the world. There are hundreds of local slaughterers throughout the United States, who buy their live stock in competition with the packer doing an interstate and international business. Likewise the packer must sell in competition with the local slaughterers. There are no secret processes in the industry, no complicated and expensive factories, and as live stock can be purchased in almost every hamlet and city, and the preparation of meats is simple in the extreme, local slaughtering will long remain a factor in the production of fresh meats and provisions. The large packing houses will, however, always have these advantages: Locations at the chief live stock centers, with the opportunity to buy the best live stock; manufacturing in large quantities, at the minimum of expense; utilization of all waste material; refrigeration; mechanical appliances; highly efficient business management. These advantages are reflected in the quality of the packer's output, a quality that has reached its highest development in the products bearing the name and brand of "Swift."

At Chicago, which is the largest market, there are about two hundred and fifty buyers, representing packers, local slaughterers in various cities, and exporters. Of this number, less than a score are employed by Swift & Company. The farmer ships his live stock to Chicago, consigns them to a commission firm at the Union Stock Yards, who sees that they are unloaded and put in pens. Then the buyers inspect them, make their offers to the commission dealer, who accepts or rejects as his judgment dictates. All buying must be finished at 3 o'clock each day, and the buyer must pay spot cash. If the commission man has no satisfactory offers, he can hold his stock over to the next day. He gets his commission from the farmer; and naturally strives to get the highest possible price for his client. Wholesale Distributing Houses. A wholesale distributing house is a giant refrigerator, but instead of shelves there are trolley rails, from which are suspended hooks to hang the carcasses. Some of the houses cost as much as a hundred thousand dollars to build and equip. As a rule they are of pressed brick, the insides being lined—floor, walls and ceiling—with highly polished hardwood. The floors are covered daily with fresh sawdust and all are kept spotlessly clean. There are over three hundred of these wholesale houses in various cities of the United States, and the public is always welcome to visit them. Packing Plants. All the Swift & Company plants are located at the great live stock markets, in the heart of the great agricultural sections, where can be purchased the finest grades of cattle, sheep and hogs.

FINAL REVEILLE SOUNDED Appropriate and Loving Tribute Paid by Nation-Full Military Honors Observed-Vets of Both Sections in Line. A Washington special says: With full military honors the body of General Joseph Wheeler, the veteran of two wars, a former representative in congress and a retired officer in the United States army, was laid at rest Monday in the National Cemetery at Arlington. Lee mansion, and is regarded as one of the most beautiful sites in the home of soldier dead, as it overlooks the nation's capital across the Potomac. Thousands uncovered their heads in silent tribute as the impressive caravan of mourners made its way slowly out Pennsylvania avenue beneath a wealth of sunshine. All along the line of march the white carnation marked the memory of the late William McKinley, and on the casket wrapped in the folds of the American flag there bloomed a cluster of these pure flowers. They were placed on the altar in St. John Episcopal church. Beside them bloomed the flowers sent by the president and Mrs. Roosevelt. It was an appropriate tribute which the nation paid. From 10 o'clock in the morning until two in the afternoon, while the body lay in state in the historic little church on La Fayette quare thousands of his friends passed up the aisle to the outer chancel and beamed in silence as they looked for the last time on his face. His comrades in the great war and in the war with Spain, his friends while in congress and the sons of the veterans of the two wars, the Daughters of the Confederacy were all represented in this silent, steady stream of people that passed through St. John's. The place of honor to the right of the president in the right transept was given to "Wheeler's old cavalry," who came on from the south by special invitation of the family. Back of them sat other Confederate veterans. In the body of the church were many veterans of the war with Spain. Lieutenant General and Mrs. Chaffee were among the friends who sat near the family. The cabinet was represented by Secretary Taft and Postmaster General Cortelyou. Two minutes before the hour for the service to begin the entire congregation arose while the president, preceded by his military alde, Colonel Bromwell, and his naval alde, Lieutenant Commander Key, in full uniform, and accompanied by Mrs. Roosevelt, entered the church from the transept door and were assigned to the first pew which they shared with the family, who entered immediately afterward. The president and Mrs. Roosevelt were both in mourning. The service was brief and impressive, and followed with a few exceptions, the regular liturgy for the burial of the dead. Dr. Ernest Stires, rector of St. Thomas, New York, read the selections beginning, "I am the Resurrection and the Life." The lesson was read by Rev. Dr. Randolph H. McKim, rector of the Church of the Epiphany, and Rev. Dr. Roland Cotton Smith, rector of St. John's, both concluded the service. From the church, the line of march was down Fifteenth street to Pennsylvania avenue, on past the white house and the war department and across the aqueduct to Arlington. The pageant made an impressive picture, witnessed by thousands who stood with bared heads. It was a few minutes after four o'clock when it reached the cemetery grounds where a vast crowd had assembled. As the casket was lowered into the ground, the troopers were brought to "Present arms." Rev. Dr. Stires then read the committal service. A male quartette sang "Near- er My God to Thee" and "Shall We Gather at the River?" The cavalry fired three shots over the grave, when Fay Wilson, who sounded taps over the grave of President, McKinley, sounded taps over the grave of General Wheeler. Then a bugler from the regular army sounded reveille. After the services hundreds passed by the grave as a last mark to their affection. GREENE-GAYNOR CASE DRAGS. Enters Fourth Week at Savannah With Little Progress Made. The trial of Greene and Gaynor entered upon its fourth week at Savannah with the prosecution having made but slight progress in the introduction of its evidence. A stage has been reached, however, where a more rapid presentation of evidence may be expected Favorably Reported in House With Recommendation of Republicans and Democrats. Chairman Hepburn reported to the house Saturday his railroad rate bill with the favorable recommendations of the entire republican and democratic members of the Interstate and foreign commerce commission. The report is a comprehensive explanation of the measure. Preliminary to giving details as to the intention of each section, the statement is made that the bill is the product of several years' consideration by the committee. The object of the bill is simply to amend the interstate commerce law which has been in force for twenty years. No attempt is made to give the commission power to readjust freight classification, a power which Hepburn says his committee considers a much greater power over rates than in the bill. Under a grant of power to establish a system of freight classification the commission would have authority to take the initiative. Little complaint, it is said, has been heard against classification. In attempting to correct the shipping evils the bill provides for a broader definition of the words "railroads" and "transportation," so as to include within the jurisdiction of the commission the regulation of switches, private cars and terminal charges. It is section four of the bill which confers power on the commission to establish a rate or to declare what will be a proper charge in a certain instance. The report states in this connection that it is just to the commission that none of its members think it wise that authority, to take the initiative in rate making should be conferred upon it. Its jurisdiction is confined to cases where complaint has been made, when it is authorized to declare what shall be a "just and reasonable and fairly remunerative rate or rates, charge or charges, to be hereafter observed in such case as the maximum to be charged; and what regulation or practice in respect to such transportation is just and fair and reasonable thereafter to be followed, and to make an order that the carrier shall cease and desist from such violation to the extent to which the commission finds the same to exist, and shall not thereafter publish, demand or collect any rate or charge for such transportation in excess of the maximum rate, or charge so prescribed and shall conform to the regulation or practice so prescribed." Additional requirements and restrictions are provided in the matter of awarding damages, receiving complaints and giving notice of hearings, etc. A penalty of $5,000 is provided for violation or disobedience of any order of the commission. Authority is given to the shipper to apply to the circuit court for the enforcement of the commission's orders. The court is to enforce this order by means of injunction. Appeals may be taken to the supreme court direct, and such cases are given priority over all other exceptional cases. Access may be had at all times to the books of the carriers. A fine of $5,000 or imprisonment for two years is the penalty provided for refusing to allow experts of the commission to examine the books of such carrier. The bill provides for two additional members of the commission, the term of service for a commissioner being increased to seven years and the salary to $10,000. POOR, BENIGHTED PROFESSOR. Hart Has Only Panacea for Redemption of the South. In an address on "The Real South, Commercial and Social," before the Commercial Club in Boston, Professor Hart of Harvard said: "The only way the south can redeem itself industrially is to turn to the long, difficult and most thankless task of elevating to the highest point it can reach the lower element of its population, both black and white."
