The Savannah Tribune. VOL. XXI. STATE PROHIBITION Voted Affirmatively by South Carollna Representatives. QUESTION UP TO SENATE Dispensaries May Be Abolished Altogether and a System of Local Qp tion Adopted by the Legislators. By a majority the house of representative of South Carolina Friday passed the Morgan bill, which provides for the abolishment of the state dispensary. The new measure provides for local option in the counties—that is, each county may have a dispensary, under county control, or prohibition. The high license feature was eliminated in order to secure the passage of a bill which would remove the dispensary as a state institution. The bill now goes to the senate, but that body has a bill of its own which provides for the retention of the state dispensary under a new form of management. The matter is engaging more attention than any other matter before the general assembly. To forecast the probable action of the senate on the Morgan bill would be the merest guess work. As one senator stated, he would not attempt to forecast the action of the higher body until the vote was taken. It was rumored in the lobbies, however, that the Morgan bill at this time had a majority of six votes in the senate. As the bill will hardly be up in the senate for a week or ten days it is impossible to say what the sentiment is be at that time. The Morgan bill is lengthy in detail, but the more important features are that the present dispensary restrictions which provide that liquor shall not be sold in less quantity than half pints, no sales after sundown nor drinking on the premises are retained. Counties may immediately vote for "sale or no sale" on petition of one-third of the qualified voters, but a vote cannot be had oftener than every four years. No counties which have voted out the dispensary—sixteen in number—can vote for "sale or no sale" under two years from the passage of the bill. The chief reason for the change is the alleged corruption which has been unearthed by the legislative investigating committee, which has just been granted enlarged powers, and which promises to bring out even more sensational evidences of graft. USED HATCHETS ON DOORS. French Officials Continue Taking Inventories of Church Property. A Paris special says: The church of St. Pierre du Gros Callinu was the only one where an inventory had been ordered to be taken Friday in accordance with the law providing for the separation of church and state. The authorities adopted rigorous measures to repress disturbances by Catholics who gathered at the church. The prefect of police, M. Lepine, thrice summoned the congregation to open the inside gates, which the people refused to do. Firemen were then ordered to f-ree an entrance, using their hatchets. WAS "DAFT" ON SHOPPING. Unuss Goods Piled to Ceiling in a "House of Mystery" in Brooklyn. More than $150,000 worth of goods bought in four years of shopping in New York, piled unused in rooms, closets and halls, nearly filling a large four-story brown stone mansion in Brooklyn, lay for nineteen years unheeded. This was the result of the search of the "House of Mystery," No. 17 State street, Brooklyn. It tells of the mania of Mrs. Cook King, who died two weeks ago in a Flushing sanitarium, and it explains what became of a part of the $500,000 estate left by her husband twenty years ago. FOR A JEWISH INSTITUTE Hebrews In Atlanta Hold Mass Meeting and Set Ball In Motion. About $1,700, over half of which was in cash, was raised for the proposed great Jewish Institute in Atlanta. Sunday afternoon at a mass meeting. It was decided to go ahead with the movement which has in contemplation the erection of an institutional building, which will contain a manual training school for boys a sewing and cooking school for girls, gymnasium, lodge rooms and other features. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 10. 1906. Obstreperous "Bolter" from Democratic Caucus Rule Seeks Shelter Under National Constitution. Senator Patterson of Colorado, smarting under the action of the democratic caucus, paved the way Monday for a washing of the party dirty linen in the senate. A resolution he introduced means that he will air his grievances, probably assisted by the republicans who can be counted upon to let no such opportunity for political capital pass. It is certain this will precipitate a lot of hot-talk from some of the senate democrats. Senator Patterson is understood to be out of touch with his party in Colorado, having fought the democratic ticket at the last election. As he is not a candidate for re-election, his split with his party has little importance save as it may serve to make capital for the republicans. The Patterson resolution, in effect, declares the action of the democratic caucus Saturday in making a party question of the San Domingo treaty to have been contrary to the constitution of the United States. Mr. Patterson's resolution recited that the action of the democratic caucus in dictating to senators how they should vote was a plain violation of the spirit and intention of the constitution of the United States. Mr. Patterson's resolution recited that the action of the democratic caucus in dictating to senators how they should vote was a plain violation of the spirit and intent of the constitution of the United States. That each senator was entitled to one vote, and any attempt to coerce him was an invasion of the rights of a state; that any senator who permits himself to be so coerced, weakens and degrades his state; that for any senator to vote otherwise than as his sense of duty dictates, degrades his high office and assails the dignity and standing of the senate. It is expected that the democrats generally will resist the adoption of the resolution, and that the republican senators will sustain Mr. Patterson's contentions. Aside from the personal interest in Mr. Patterson's political fortunes, the resolution raises a new question as to the rights of senators generally. In all probability, several days will elapse before the question is settled. The Patterson resolution came as a surprise. Mr. Patterson and Mr. Tillman rose simultaneously, but Mr. Patterson received recognition from the chair. "Does the senator from Colorado yield to the senator from South Carolina?" asked the vice president, but before Mr. Patterson could reply, Mr. Tillman stated that he merely arose to make inquiry as to the parliamentary status. "Is it a question of personal privilege" he asked, and Mr. Patterson responded in the negative. "I object to no consideration this morning," said Mr. Tillman. "There is no intention of asking consideration at this time," responded Mr. Patterson. "The resolution is of such a character that no harm can come from its lying over." Norton Jumped Into Well With Pulley Tied to His Neck. John G. Norton, 60 years old, a prominent local Baptist preacher, living near Naylor, Ga., committed suicide by drowning himself in the ginhouse well on his place. His body was found in the well with an iron pulley, weighing about 150 pounds, around his neck. Mr. Norton preached at Naylor Saturday, and told the congregation that he would try to preach for them again on Sunday, but that he expected some terrible trouble. Southern Shops Burned. Fire Monday night destroyed the large blacksmith shop of the Southern railway at Spencer, N. C., entailing a loss of about $50,000; amount of insurance not known. IMMIGRANT AGENT JAILED. Colored Labor Procuror Gets into the Toils at Austell, Ga. Mayor Shelverton of Austell, Ga. Friday caused the arrest of Charles Laban, a negro immigrant agent, who had six negroes at the depot on their way to Birmingham. The technical charge against the negro was a violation of the labor laws of the state, which prohibits the shipment of laborers in a body for work outside the state. DEMOCRATS BOUND Caucus Urges Vote Against San Domingo Treaty. ARE FORCED INTO LINE Those Breaking Senate Caucus Rule Will Be Read Out of the Party. The Outcome of the Action Very Problematical. A Washington special says: Under the action taken by senate democrats in their caucus Saturday, any democrat who refuses to vote against the ratification of the San Domingo treaty will be barred from future party caucuses. So far as his fellow senators are concerned, any member who declines to be bound by caucus action will be read out of the party. The effect of this step, in the opinion of democratic leaders, will be the defeat of the pending treaty. Senator Patterson, who has declared himself a supporter of the president's program, was present during the discussion, but withdrew before the vote, serving notice that he could not permit himself to be hound by it. Senator McEnery, who has been quoted as declaring he would vote for the treaty, caucus or no caucus, was absent. What position Senator Clarke of Arkansas will take upon the final vote on the treaty-is uncertain. He was the only senator present who voted against a resolution declaring against the ratification of the treaty, but his associates seem to believe he will be bound by the caucus. There were other absentees, but their failure to be present does not, in the opinion of fellow democrats, indicate that they are in any degree "white house democrats." Two resolutions adopted at the caucus not only will dispose of the Dominican treaty, but will furnish the precedent for demanding a united party vote on all questions that may be considered partisan in their character, when two-thirds of the democratic senators so decide. The resolutions, both of which were carried by more than two-thirds of those present, follow: "Resolved, That the senate ought not to advise and consent to the treaty between the United States and the republic of Santo Domingo, now pending before the senate." "Resolved, That if two thirds of the caucus shall vote in favor of the foregoing resolution, it shall be the duty of every democratic senator to vote against the ratification of the same treaty." Represented in the caucus were twenty-six of the thirty-three minority members. Those who were absent were Berry, Clark of Montana, Gearin, McLaurin and Stone, all out of the city. Patterson withdrew before the vote was taken. Teller voted for the first resolution, and was excused from voting on the second, and McEmery and Tallaferro absented themselves without explanation. Gorman was ill and Carmack was out of the city, but both authorized their votes to be cast. Guerin was called to New York, and telegraphed instructions to be counted at present. His dispatch was not sufficiently explicit to have his vote recorded. The first resolution was adopted by a vote adopted 20 to 4, Clark of Arkansas, in the negative. The second was adopted 20 to 4, Clarke of Arkansas, Daniel, Foster and Mallory voting in the negative. The spirit manifested in the caucus and voiced by several leading senators in emphatic expressions after the caucus adjourned was that this action meant that the democrats of the senate would have united party action on matters determined by two-thirds of their number to be questionless affecting party policy. Those who do not abide by caucus decision will not be regarded as democrats, and the point will be raised against them, should they appear in future caucuses of the party. OFFICERS PROTECT PRISONER. Under Charge of Criminal Assault Negro is Placed on Trial. Ed Johnson, the negro charged with criminal assault, to get whom a mob attacked the jail in Chattanooga, Tenn., he having been spirited away meanwhile, was returned from Nashville Tuesday morning and placed on trial. Before coming on the train from Nashville a cordon of police was thrown around the court house and jail, no one being allowed to pass the line. MANY BALES YET TO COME Speaker Cannon Has Report of Census Director North Read in the House Lobby-A Sharp Advance Follows. Speaker Cannon made public the census bureau figures on unginned cotton immediately after the house was called to order Friday. The total amount of unginned cotton shown by the report is 250,884 bales, with 1,643 ginnerles unheard from. The publication was in accordance with the Sims resolution passed by the house requiring Director North of the census bureau to furnish to congress all data on unginned cotton of the crop of 1905, collected by January 16. An effort was made to have Speaker Cannon order the report read in the house, but he flatly refused to do this, saying the document must pass through ordinary channels and announced that he thought the figures were misinformation, rather than information; that they were based on partial returns and of little value. The report had not arrived at the house when the speaker rapped for order. In response to inquiries from the department of commerce and labor and to how the report should be handled, he replied that he would turn it over to the journal clerk and have it made public through the public document room in case it arrived before the house went into committee of the whole. Otherwise he said it must await until the house came out of a committee of the whole, as he did not purpose deviating in the least from the ordinary procedure for the purpose of publishing figures of interest chiefly to speculators. Officials of the department of commerce and labor hurried the report to the capitol, as they did not wish to be responsible for delay, and it arrived in time to be placed in the speaker's charge before the house took up the day's work. Under orders from the speaker, a clerk in the public document room read the figures for a large group of the house and newspaper men who were eagerly awaiting the total in the report. Southern members expressed much dissatisfaction with the figures, and said they were far from the truth. Members from the northern mill districts were equally harsh in their criticism of the totals and declared the ginneries unheard from might make a radical difference in the figures. The report caused considerable excitement in the cotton market in New York. The market was very active and irregular before the report. March sold at 10.60, or 6 points net lower. The report was followed by a sharp advance of 20 to 24 points, with March selling at 11.04. There was heavy realizing. The estimate was read on the New Orleans cotton exchange at 10:19 o'clock, after the report had been sent by Director North to the speaker of the house. It showed that 250,884 bales were yet to be ginned, which added to the amount ginned to that date 9,998,000 bales, means a total crop of 10,248,846 bales. March, which sold immediately before the reading of the report at 11 cents, sold ten minutes afterwards at 11.18, and May, which previously sold at 11.13, sold afterwards at 11.32. RELATIVES GIVEN CONTRACTS. Work, However, Was Carried Out by Messrs. Greene and Gaynor. Contract after contract was taken up in the federal court at Savannah, Friday, by District Attorney Marion Erwin, in the prosecution of Greene and Gaynor, and connection between the contracts and the defendants was established. It was brought out that contracts for important and expensive improvements were not infrequently let by Captain Carter, not to Greene and Gaynor direct, but to relatives of the defendants. The actual work, moreover, witnesses declared, was done by Greene and Gaynor. WANTED. TO LIQUIDATE. FINE. Five-Hundred Striking Printers Willing to Be Jailed. Five hundred members of the Typographical Union No. 16 at Chicago voted unanimously to go to jail. As they are on strike, they estimated they might save the $1,000 fine assessed against the union by Judge Holdom if they were permitted to work out the amount in prison. They were disappointed when their attorney told them that if the fine was upheld by the higher courts, it woula have to be paid, and there was no prospect of the debt being liquidated by the strikers going to fail. WILSON IS AROUSED Secretary of Agriculture Suspects Census Bureau. MAKES DEFENSIVE MOVE Wants President Roosevelt to Also Order-Probing of Census People's Cotton Figures by the Keep Commission. As a result of a defensive movement on the part of James Wilson, secretary of agriculture, the Keep commission, created by President Roosevelt to investigate department methods, will begin an inquiry as to the accuracy of the statistics compiled by the census bureau during the census of 1900. The Keep commission recently completed an investigation of the bureau of statistics, department of agriculture, in which the statistical bureau's results were compared very unfavorably with those attained by the census bureau. It was recommended that certain work of the bureau of statistics be improved or discontinued and that cotton acreage estimates be transferred to the census bureau. Now the secretary of agriculture has assailed the accuracy of the census statistics and has induced President Roosevelt to order that branch of the government investigated. Shortly after the report on the bureau of statistics was handed to President Roosevelt, about two weeks ago, the president was advised by congressional friends to send the report to congress that action might be taken toward making it effective. All other reports of the Keep commission have been made operative through executive orders of the president. The president was at first disposed to act upon this advice, and it is said was only deferred from sending the Keep report with a special message to congress by the activity, of Secretary Wilson, who protested against such action. In persuading the president not to send the Keep report to congress with a special message, Secretary Wilson urged that the census figures may themselves be erroneous. The discussion reached so acute a point that it had to be dealt with at a cabinet meeting a few days ago, and it was then decided as a matter of compromise that an inquiry into the census figures should be ordered prior to any action on the Keep report. The Keep commission has not yet been able to begin its work. It is now feared that no report will be made until after the appropriation bill has been enacted. This would insure a delay of at least a year, during which the statistics would continue on their present basis. A year has been mentioned by persons connected with the department of agriculture as the period for which the reforms should be delayed in order that the department might not seem to be retiring under fire. FIVE MANGLED IN WRECK. Runaway Freight Train Demolishes Passenger Coaches. A runaway freight train on the Northern Pacific crashed into a passenger train at 11:20 o'clock Monday night about two and a half miles from Helena, Mont, resulting in the death of three persons, whose names are known, and of two others who were burned in the wreck, and whose names have not been learned. The known dead are: J. S. Robinson of Missoula, Mont; Charla Brickle, conductor on passenger; S. J. Jessup, express messenger. Several other passengers were slightly injured. Every coach in the passenger train was burned, and the freight train, which was made up of cars loaded with lumber, was also burned. Messenger Jessup was burned ally, while four people were trying to pull him from the wreck. He was caught under the wreckage and could not be moved. HAZING LAWS TOO STRICT. President Suggests Modification of Naval Academy Regulations. Naval Academy Regulations. The president made public a letter Tuesday urging upon congress a modification of the law against hazing at the Naval academy. Unless congress shall amend the existing law against hazing, which makes mandatory the dismissal of any midshipman guilty of any form of hazing, the secretary of the navy may be forced to dismiss thirty three from the academy within the next month, in addition to the eight who have already suffered this penalty and the three whose cases are awaiting action. --- PASTOR FORCED TO DIE. Resting Under Charges of Base Immorality, Baptist Minister, Politician and Banker Drinks Poison. Rev. George H. Simmons, pastor of the First Baptist church, president of the Interstate Savings bank and of the People's Savings bank, and recently appolated manager of the Yates senatorial campaign in Peoria county, was found dead in bed at his home in Peorlid, Ill., Tuesday. He has been under investigation by the state's attorney, the two banks, and his congregation on the gravest charges. The body was found by his wife when she called him to breakfast. He remained down town until late Monday night, disposing of some business matters. In a letter found beside him he said that was his last night on earth, and wanted to leave a message of undying love to all. In part it said: "Also no blame must attach to ex-Governor Yates nor his associates. He simply gave me an opportunity which his opponents and my enemies have prevented my using." Physicians believe death was caused by cyanide of potassium. The People's Savings Bank did not open Tuesday morning. Cashier Look said the bank would remain closed until some plan of action could be determined. There was a run on the bank Monday, a large crowd surrounding the building. The Interstate Savings bank was also the object of runs. Cashier Anlcker said they would be able to stand the drain. Dr. Simmons came to the First Baptist church five years ago from Terre Haute, Ind., and had been remarkably successful. He secured national publicity two years ago by advocating a dramatizing of the "Life of Christ." He became local manager of the senatorial campaign of former Governor Yates a week ago, and shortly after serious stories affecting his morals were circulated. States Attorney Scholes undertook an investigation and secured some sensational confessions from boys of his congregation. Dr. Simmons was 40 years old and leaves a widow. He held charges in Texas, in Jackson, Tenn., and in Louisville, Ky., before going to Peoria. MATTER OF STEAL OR STARVE. Bowen Swiped Trunks While Baggage-master on the Seaboard. Two thousand dollars' worth of stolen goods, packed away in a trunk, were recovered by detectives Monday night in a room on West Broadway in Louisville, Ky., and Walter E. Bowen, 24 years old and the son of former mayor of Pelham, Ga., was placed in jail charged with being a suspect felon and fugitive. He confessed to having stolen the goods while employed as baggage master on the Seaboard' Air Line road between Atlanta and Monroe, N. C. While his wife was being questioned at the detective's office she was asked to remove from her hat a handsome white plume. She is 18 years old and her parents live at Jacksonville, Fla. She said that she never dreamed her husband was a thief. The robberies began early in July and continued until Bowen severed his connection with the road. "I don't know what made me do it," said Bowen. "I was just up against it and had to steal. I received only $45 a month salary from the road and had I not stolen I could not have lived. My wife did not know I was stealing. I told her I bought the articles in the trunk." HID THE COMPANY'S BOOKS. President of Mining. Concern: Arrested on Larceny Charge. A. A. Marshall, president of the Tenoriba Mining and Smelting company, which, it is alleged, owns mines and mining lands in Mexico, was arrested at Valdosta, Ga., Tuesday on a message from Atlanta, charging him with larceny. Marshall states that the larceny charge against him grew out of the fact that he had removed to a safe place the books of the mining company, other parties attempting to get possession of them. Says Action Indicates That Dominge Treaty Will Carry. Secretary Root, when asked his opinion of the action of the democratic senatorial caucus on the Dominican treaty, resulting in a pledge of the united democratic vote, adverse to that treaty, said: "I regard the action of the caucus as establishing a conclusive presumption that the treaty has received the approval of more than two-thirds of the senate, else why was the caucus called." The Guaranty Aid and Relief Society SOL. C. JOHNSON, Supt. of Agencies. B. W. COOPER, General Manager. The undersigned, Treasures of the State of Georgia, hereby acknowledges to have received from the Secretary of State the following described: Dear Regent and Trustee of the State of Georgia (Stafford County) 1741, 0, insurance, pack from Dime bank (0.00) diversion, deed 1926 long in total Ten Thousand Dollars, and which are held by the State of Georgia, by authority and under the provisions of an Act of the General Assembly, approved October 22d, 1887, and amended December 20th, 1897. R. E. Parsi GEORGIA BRIEFS Four Candidates Favor Macon. All Favor Wheeler Memorial. Georgia, through its governor; Atlanta, through its mayor, and the Atlanta chamber of commerce, through its secretary, have become enthusiastic advocates of the Wheeler memorial to be held in Atlanta on the last day of the present month. * * * Suspected of Being Bank Robber. Suspected of Being Bank Robber. James Dayton, a young white man, is under arrest at Savannah. He is severely wounded in the face, and is suspected of having recently burglarized the bank at Grays, near Macon, with confederates, and with haying stolen a horse and buggy and made his escape. --- Will Experiment With Tobacco. After visiting a number of points in the Gainesville district with two tobacco culture experts Congressman Bell has returned to Washington: Mr. Bell arranged for experiments to be made with Sumatra tobacco in Hall, Gwinnett, Cherokee and White counties. These experiments will be paid for by the United States government and the experts believe will be successful. The soil appears to be suited for the successful growth of Sumatra tobacco. The experts will keep in touch with the work so that a fair test may be obtained. Eleven Counts the Limit. At a meeting of the executive committee of the Georgia Farmers' Union held in Atlanta the past week, a. circular was prepared instructing the farmers of the state not to sell their cotton until it reaches 11 cents, and to hold cotton seed until price reaches $20 a ton. This circular will be sent to all the members of the Farmers' Union in Georgia. Similar action in regard to making the price of cotton 11 cents or more will be taken at the coming meeting of the national executive committee, thus pledging all the members of the union in the United States to hold cotton until it reaches 11 cents. To Make Present of Sirup Plant. According to a Washington dispatch the government of the United States will present its sirup experimentation plant at Waycross to the Georgia Agricultural experiment station, if the officials of the experiment station will agree to continue its operation at Waycross. This was determined at a meeting of the house agricultural affairs committee. The work of the government experts in developing the cane sirup industry and demonstrating its possibilities having ended, it was the intention of the agricultural department to sell this Waycross property, which consists principally in machinery. To Advance $ ^{f} $ Rawlings Cases. With the idea of advancing on the docket the appeals in the case of J. J., Milton and Jesse Rawlings and others, sentenced to be hanged in Lowndes county for the murder of the Carter children, Attorney General Hart is preparing a motion which he will present to the United States supreme court. In the ordinary course of business the supreme court would probably not reach these cases for over a year, and it was for the purpose of hurrying matters that Attorney General Hart decided to prepare his motion. Attorney Cooper, for the elder Rawlings, appealed the case on a writ of error. It is usual for the supreme court to grant requests of this kind made by the various states. * * * Report of Tag Sales Withheld. The announcement is made at the state department of agriculture that no statements regarding the number of fertilizer tags sold to the manufacturers, will be given out until the close of the season, which is October 1. next. It will be recalled that acting under suggestions from various sources, former Commissioner of Agriculture O. B. Stevens gave out statements from time to time last year regarding the sales of fertilizer tags, and these statements resulted in no little discussion in the newspapers and some criticism of the department because, it was claimed, a large number of the tags sold were not used, but wasted. The charge was made that these tags had been purchased in large quantities for the purpose of bearing the cotton market. Costly Blaze In Valdosta. A fire originating in the paint shop of the Henderson, Cranford Buggy company at Valdosta destroyed property valued at $125,000. The property destroyed includes the Georgia Southern railroad freight depot, eight or ten freight cars on the Georgia Southern tracks, loaded with merchandise, two blocks of cottages, the Valdosta laundry and Armour & Co.'s warehouse. The heaviest losers are the Henderson-Cranford Buggy company, who carried a stock valued at $60,000 and occupied a building worth $30,000. The company had insurance for two-thirds this amount. The railroad losses will be from fifteen to twenty thousand dollars. --- Alleared Wife Poisoner Arretted. A sensation was sprung at Moultrie a few days ago when the coroner was called upon to investigate the death of Mrs. Stacy Tucker, wife of E. W. Tucker, a well known farmer, living near Hartsfield. Mrs. Tucker died nearly a month ago, and was buried, but rumors were quietly set afloat, it seems, to the effect that she had been colsoned by her husband. It developed the past week that the Phoenix Life Insurance company, in which Mrs. Tucker was insured for $5,000, has held up payment of the policy, and that they have in their possession an affidavit made by the nurse attending Mrs. Tucker that the deceased made a dying statement to her that she had been poisoned by her husband. On the evidence of Mrs. Abbott, and at the request of the relatives, the jury recommended that the body be exhumed and an autopsy held. --- President Johnson Urges Loyalty. President Johnson of the Georgia division Southern Cotton Association has issued the following statement to the farmers, merchants and bankers who are interested in the welfare and prosperity of their own sections: "The Southern Cotton Association is now in the midst of the most vital period of its existence. The Georgia division is expected to take the lead in the movement which promises fifteencent cotton. The necessity for thorough organization, a loyal membership and sufficient financial support is now most pressing. The county associations are urgently requested to push this work without delay. "Each of these important points is particularly to be stressed, in view of the campaign outlined for the next ninety days. "First—There is the battle for fifteen cent cotton. Surely the great good done by the association in the past, and the vast volume of money which has gone into every business in the south, will command the loyalty of cotton growers and of every business and business man in the state. "Second—The battle for the 25 per cent reduction in cotton acreage as compared with the crop of 1904, which was 32,000,000 acres, while that for 1905 was about 24,000,000 acres, stands as a proud achievement of the association.

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.

Practice this throughout the state and the south, and the south's financial future will be established on a foundation that will me unshakable by Wall street or any other agency." New Science Hall Burned. The James M. Smith Science hall at the state normal school at Athens was burned to the ground on the night of the 3d instant. The building was almost finished and would have been turned over to the school authorities by the contractors within the next six or eight weeks at the latest. As it is the loss falls on the contractor, George B. Hinman of Atlanta. The insurance on the building amounted to about fifteen thousand dollars and the loss will be about $17,000. The building was the handsmest on the campus of the normal school. The work of plastering the second story was progressing and when it became apparent that the temperature would fall below freezing. two stoves were placed on the second floor to prevent the freezing of the plastering. The fire caught from one of these stoves. The city fire department responded to the call for assistance. The fire had gained too much headway, however, to save the building and the attention of the department was devoted to saving the other buildings. As soon as possible the state normal school authorities will provide for the construction of the building again. CARNEGIE AGAIN OPENS PURSE. Offers Randolph-Macon College Sum of $20,000 With Certain Conditions. Andrew Carnegie has just authorized a gift of $20,000 to the Randolph Macon Woman's college at Lynchburg, Va., conditioned that the college raises a like amount. This will be done. It means building of an additional dormitory and a large science hall, and will make the college one of the five largest female colleges of Grade A in the United States. FOR THE BRUNSWICK LIGHTSHIP Board of Lighthouse Engineers Want Estimate Raised to $120,000. The lighthouse board has sent to congress its recommendation for increase in the estimate for a lightship at Brunswick, Ga., from $90,000 to $120,000. This is made necessary by the inability to secure bids from responsible bidders within the original estimate. MERELY MATTER OF DISTANCE USERS OF THE TELEPHONE ADDRESS THE HOME OFFICE, 468 West MERELY MATTE The maternal grandparents of the late Armour brothers, the famous pork packers of Chicago, were born in Eastford, Conn. Some years ago A. W. Armour of Kansas City made a special trip to Eastford to look up the history and graves of his ancestors. In the neighboring village of Westford he found an aged man who had personally known his grandparents, and could give him much information of value. The aged informant was indeed an exemplar of "the simple life," as in his seventy years of life up to that time his only journeys beyond the confines of his native village had been one trip on foot to Chaplin, six miles distant, and one memorable "ride on the cars" from West Willington to GROWTH IN BA With only a twentieth of the world's inhabitants, the United States has two-thirds ($14,000,000,000) of the world's banking power (capital, surplus, deposits and circulation). Our ascendancy here has been obtained in the past two decades. Since 1890 the world's banking strength has grown 105 per cent, while that of the United States has expanded 170 per cent, and that of New York city 200 per cent. Of the $2,500,000,000 of the weekly average of the bank clearings of the ninety-three cities which make reports, New York contributes two-thirds. New York city's bank clearings average 25 per cent in excess of London's. And the greater part of this stupendous banking growth in New York USERS OF THE Abundance of amusing as well as statistical proof of the approach of such an era of universal telephony as is implied in 20 per cent development is not hard to find, says F.

The instrument has come to be of assistance in about all the vocations and avocations of the everyday world. Not only has it annihilated time and space on the superficial earth, but the Norwegian fishermen drop into the ocean depths a line with telephonic attachment by which the swish of the approaching herring, codfish or mackerel is communicated to the anxious listener above.

"Faithful Old Bill" was the title he had earned at home, by his absolute loyalty in "doing chores" around the neighborhood, and in all his seventy years he had aspired to no other life. After questioning "Old Bill" for a long time, Mr. Armour suddenly sald to him: "Well, you've always lived around here, haven't you?" "Oh, no," was the prompt response, with an emphasis that showed a survey of distances much more real than any casual thought Mr. Armour himself might have entertained at the moment as to his own distance from Kansas City; "Oh, no; I was born an' raised over two mile from here!" city. and the United States in general has taken place within the easy recollection of thousands of persons who, in their various employments, are still actively at work. Contemplating the vast expansion which has given the United States a long lead over all other countries in manufactures and mining; which has placed American products in every market on the globe; which has built up in this country a railway system which comprises two-fifths of that of the entire earth; and which has increased the country's wealth from $500,000,000 in Washington's days to $110,000,000,000 in Roosevelt's, the American banker, using the words of Eneas, can say: "All of this I saw, and part of this I was."—Dr. C. M. Harvey in Leslie's Weekly. E TELEPHONE phone proves helpful, and in ordinary medical practice the country mother raises the baby to the transmitter in order that the physician in the village may determine whether or not the cough is croupy. Conceris have been transmitted more or less successfully over the wires, and Sunday morning preaching effectively conveyed. After a recent revival, in which scores of eager "seekers" had put in their requests for prayers, the evangelist handed his secretary a list of names with their telephone numbers and with the instruction: "Just call up each one of these sisters and brothers to-morrow morning, and ask them how it goes with their souls. Tell them to keep on with their prayers and inform them that I am praying for them right along." FUSSY MAN HAD GAINED POINT. Found Woman Who Agreed With Him on Important Subject. Any one could have told that he was a fussy man by the way he sat down in the car. He had only got comfortably seated when a woman came in who was unable to find a seat, and after a moment the fussy man rose up and offered her his. As she accepted it a smile of recognition crossed his face and he bent down and asked: Any One Could Have Told. That He Was a Fussy Man. "Weren't we once engaged to be married?" "Yes, we were," she replied, after a closer look at him. "I thought so, but wasn't sure. Can you recall what separated us?" "I can. You held that when a frying pan was not in use the handle should be turned toward the north." "Um! Yes. I held to that idea and still hold to it, and I wish to inform you that all is well. That is, I married a woman who, agreed with me, and the handle of the frying pan points to the north, and the dove of peace rests over my household. Keep the seat ma'am—keep the seat. You may not have come to my way of thinking about frying pans and the magnetic current, but I don't like to see a woman standing in a street car and pulling at a strap." PET GOOSE FOLLOWS MASTER Mr. Rice's Bird Is Also the Mascot of the Chicopee Firemen. One of the curiosities of Chicopee, Mass., is a goose which follows its master all over the city and shows as much affection as a dog. James Rice is the owner of the goose, and it is ever at his heels. No matter how fast Mr. Rice walks, the goose manages to waddle along fast enough to keep up. When Mr. Rice' stops to talk, the birds squats contentedly on the curbstone or slips through the fence into some yard to pick up something to cat. But the minute his master gives a peculiar whistle, the bird is back at his side once more. The goose has the distinction, also, of being the mascot of Chicopee's veteran firemen, and always accompanies them on their musters. Mr. Rice has made a little red suit for the bird and he was a feature at the last muster. He waddles along in the parade until he becomes fatigued, and then, Mr. Rice tucks the bird under his arm for the rest of the march. Mr. Rice and the bird first struck up an acquaintance when Mr. Rice was laid up with a sore knee. He was sitting in the doorway one morning, when the goose came lumbering up, peered into his face and said inquiringly, "Quack, ouack?" "Good morning; won't you sit down?" said Mr. Rice and the bird hopped up on the doorsteps. The next morning he made another visit, and then continued them every day, talking more each time, until Mr. Rice was able to walk. Then the goose began to follow him around. For Beauty's Sake. It is the fashion among the savage Botocudos to dilate the lower lips and the lobe of the car by a round piece of light wood. In order to do this lips and ears must be pierced in early infancy and a small round piece of wood inserted. Then, as the child grows, larger and yet larger pieces are introduced. First Experience With God. A party of well-known Newport, R. F., men went outside codfishing. One of the fishermen carried a rod and line. Baiting his line carefully, he threw it out in the most scientific manner, the way he does when he fishes for trout. When a healthy old grandfather codfish grabbed the hook, a look of palned surprise came over the face of the trout fisher. Finally, however, he landed his prize. Paralytic Cured by Shock. An old woman in Germany had been bedridden on account of paralysis for ten years until recently, when a tempest in her neighborhood shook the houses and so frightened the old paralytic that she leaped from her bed. There has been no relapse, and she may be set down, perhaps, as the only case of cure by tempest. Children Overflowed Wagon. A Pike county man with so many children that his wagon wouldn't hold them, recently drove into Milford, Penn, with a buggy hitched on behind his wagon, in which the surplus was loaded. COSTLY SUIT OVER SMALL' SUM. Two Judges, a Jury and Elghty-Four Witnesses in the Case. Two judges and a jury have spent four days and a night in Talbot county court, Easton, Md., wrestling with a contest between a white man and a negro over a strip of land worth $2.16. Even when the case is settled it will not determine the ownership of the strip and another suit must be filed. The suit has been twice removed from other courts, elghty-four witnesses have been summoned, whose expenses will amount to $250; 'the attorneys' fees will not be less than $250 and court costs will amount to at least $300. The tract in dispute is triangular, formed by the intersection of two roads near Still Pond, Kent county. Horse Garner, colored, has occupied the strip in question, which contains an acre and a half. William H. Rowe bought the adjoining farm from Dr. John Kelley, who had previously sold the triangular strip to the negro. Garner put up a fence on what he considered the dividing line. Bowers ripped it down and burned it. Garner brought suit for malicious destruction of property. The case was removed first from Chestertown, on account of impartiality, to Queen Anne county court at Centerville. Then it was transferred here. . Snakes Aided In Robbery. A boa constrictor and several vipers have acted as accomplices in a robbery in Paris. The victim called at the flat of Eleonora Stilza, a snake charmer, with whom he had become acquainted, and placed his pocket book on a small table. One of Mille, Stilza's vipers immediately mounted guard over it and the snake charmer asked her visitor to leave. He refused to go without the pocket book, and it was not until a formidable boa constrictor entered into the argument that he fled and sought police aid. The snake charmer has been arrested on a charge of robbery. A Cat House. ```markdown ``` Architects have long since agreed on the proper form of house for dogs or rabbits, but the possibilities of houses for pet cats have heretofore been neglected. A house designed with great care for the comfort of cats has been erected recently by Princess Victoria for her pets. The building is two stories in height and fitted with every possible convenience. Jack Sheppard's Chimney. John Walters of Newton street, Holborn, up to June of this year was the licensee of registered common lodging houses in Fulwood's rents (a turning out of High Holborn) and a house in Castle court. The premises were at least 200 years old, and were mainly composed of wood. The stalrcases were almost dark, and there were small, narrow doorways and small windows. In the kitchen there was a huge fireplace, with an exceptionally large chimney, which was supposed to have enabled Jack Sheppard to escape on a memorable occasion from Bow street runners who were trying to bring him to justice.—London Dally Express. Tree Grew Through Glass. A curiosity has been found by hunters near an old camp site a few miles west of West Franklin, Mc., recently. A tree in the heart of the forest was noticed which had a glass lantern globe through which the tree had apparently grown from a tender sprout into a sapling about eight inches in diameter, where it bulged out around the top of the globe. The glass remained intact, the natural expansion of growth having no effect upon it. Cut Two Only. Members of the ruling class in China show their superiority over the working people by letting all their finger nails—except those of the index fingers—grow so long that they intertwine and curve in irregular spirals. Meteors Buried In Cellar. Excavations for a cellar in Whitman has revealed two meteors weighing about 600 pounds each. They had been buried for a number of years and were torpedo shaped. They have been examined by scientists who confirm the belief that they are real meteors. OF INTEREST TO BILLIARDISTS. Elliptical Table Designed to Make Play More Difficult. This adaptation of the form of an ellipse to a billiard table is the invention of a London architect who thinks that the angles of the ordinary table are too simple for the present high standard of play and that an ellipse, being the most versatile figure in problems owing to its changing curve; 1. 2. would add considerably to the science of cushion play and be detrimental to monotony and repeat strokes. The diagram illustrates on the left side the construction of the ellipse by the two foci, A and B, from either of which the line of deflection crosses the other from all angular points on the cushion. Should balls be placed on A and B and one struck against any part of the cushion it will, rebound direct to the other ball. The diagram illustrates on the right side one way of locating the vertex. A knowledge of the different ways of constructing an ellipse suggests other methods. The idea has interested royalty and professionalism, and a patent has been granted for its introduction.—The Sphere. French Doctor's Barking Cats. "Physicians," said one of them, "are not mercenary. They could make oceans of money if they cared to stoop a little, but they remain upright. Look at the case of the barking cat." "The barking cat?" "Yes, Delarmel's barking cat. You know Delarmel, the French laryngologist? No? "Well, Delarmel, to prove a certain claim of his, operated on a cat's vocal cords and larynx in such a way as to cause the animal to bark like a dog. The singular freak attracted no great attention among scientists, but showmen from all parts of the world besieged Delarmel, imploring him to make barking cats for them. "A cat furiously and hoarsely barking would be a strange, attractive sight and one that would prove a splendid drawing card for showmen. These men accordingly offered Delarmel sums from $100 up to $1,000 for barking cats. He could have sold undoubtedly 1,000 of them at $200 apiece. For the rest of his life he could have kept profitably employed at this work, buying ordinary cats for a dime or so and turning them into barkers as valuable as horses. "Delarmel, though, would not stoop. He only made one barking cat, and that has been dead now for two years." Shows Skill of Writer. A face entirely composed of the letters M to Z.

An unusual visitor of the sea came on board the Danish steamship Patria a week ago, while the vessel was off Sable Island, Grand Banks of Newfoundland, bound from Rotterdam to Philadelphia. The stranger was a big white owl, which is believed to have flown 200 miles before it reached the Patria, as the nearest land was the coast of Nova Scotia, which is fully that distance from Sable Island. The owl is of the Arctic species and one of the finest specimens ever seen in this country—Philadelphia Record. Leaves 104 Descendants. Mrs. Rose Marchand is dead at Fair Haven, aged 85 years, leaving over 100 descendants. She was married at the age of 20 and gave birth to fourteen children, nine of whom survive her. She leaves fifty-five grandchildren and forty great grandchildren. Mrs. Marchand and her husband celebrated their golden wedding in 1890.—Rutland Correspondence Boston Herald. Stock Pretty Well Sampled. Recently in London 500,000 bottles of wine, the stock of a deceased wine merchant, were sold at auction. Three thousand bottles were consumed in preliminary tasting operations. . DEER'S HORN SENSITIVE SPOT, Shot in That Region Served to Stun the Animal. "I had a chance this year of seeing what effect a bullet striking a deer's horn would have on the animal itself." said P. P. Wilder at the St. Louis. "My path led along an old logging road, over a rolling country. I had traversed perhaps half the distance when, greatly to my surprise on looking ahead, I saw a large buck walking along the road toward me. He was about 225 yards distant. I was just coming over the brow of a hill, and as yet the animal had failed to see me. I quickly dropped back behind the rise of ground and got in readiness to shoot, expecting the deer to come quite a lot nearer. Probably it wasn't more than fifteen seconds, or possibly ten before I cautiously raised my head over the knoll. My game had disappeared. "I started down the run down the road, in his direction. The trail was soft, and I wore rubbers, making scarcely-a sound. I had nearly reached the place where I saw him when there was a great crashing off to the right. There was the buck, running at full speed, not more than fifty or sixty yards away. Only a little brush was between us. I got in two shots and at the second he stopped almost dead still, and then began moving forward at a snail's pace, barely being able to drag himself along. It was just as if something was holding him back. Under these conditions I was able to land the next bullet in a vital spot, and the buck dropped in his track. On examining the body I found that the second bullet had struck near the base of the horn, almost shattering it. The shock stunned the animal so that it could scarcely move." -Duluth Herald. John Bunyan's Anvil. ```markdown ``` This interesting relic has just been discovered among some old scrap iron. It weighs about sixty pounds and is two feet in length. Roughly scared on its surface are the words, "J. Bunyan, Hel'stow," and the date, "1647." It will shortly be put up for auction. Black Woodchuck a Pet. A woodchuck, black as a crow and fat as woodchucks ever are, is owned by Thomas Burkett, who lives in Falls Creek, Minn., and is a curiosity worth mentioning, as black woodchucks are not seen every day. About three years ago Mr. Burkett caught the animal, when it was in its infancy, and took it home. Since then it has grown to be as much of a pet as a kitten and is far less trouble. Living the life of a pet woodchuck does not prevent him from fulfilling his part as a weather prophet, but he takes his winter nap, as others of his race, only to awaken on Feb. 2 to see if his shadow is visible. If it is, back he goes to sleep for again for the next six weeks. Last winter a cozy box was put in the cellar for him, and there he slept. Meat Shows Phosphorescence. Citizens of Christchurch, New Zealand, have had uncanny experiences. Going to their refrigerators at night they were, in several instances, surprised to find them bright with a phosphorescent glow, coming from the meat hanging within. The authorities have investigated the matter and declare that the phosphorescence is of bacterial origin. No injurious effects have been found to arise from eating the affected meat. Dancing Dress, Central Brazil. A fruit jar full of water in one of the store windows in Seymour, Conn., is from hallstones which fell on June 23, 1875. This jar, with others, was found in the cellar of the Lester homestead. The reason for preserving the water was a belief which was prevalent among old New Englanders that it was good as a wash for weak eyes. REPRODUCTION OF FAMED DRUM. Facsimile of That Owned by Sir Francis Drake. The men and women of Devonshire have presented to H. M. Cruiser Devon a reproduction in solid silver of the famous drum carried by Sir Francis Drake on board the Pelican on his journey round the world in the years 1577-1580. The copy was made from the original drum, now in possession of Sir Francis Drake, of Buckland Abbey, near Plymouth. The model stands Drake's Drum. 1712 inches high, and is 16 inches in diameter. The body is of plain polished silver, bearing the Drake coat-of-arms on one side, while on the other the services of four battleships that have already borne the county name are set out in detail.—Illustrated London News. MEN WHO DO STRANGE THINGS. Unique Feats Certified to by Truthful Traveling Men. A group of travelling men were discussing unique feats and physical tricks that people here and there can do. "I know a Chicagoan," said one, "who can whistle a tune and hum its accompaniment at the same time. He whistles through a flat, not through the usual round hole, and the deep, musical accompaniment together with the shrill sweetness of the whistle makes a mighty attractive thing to hear." "I knew a barber," said the second drummer, "who had a unique way of cracking nuts. He would place a nut between the back of his head and a stone or brick wall, and then he would give himself a sharp rap on the forehead with his fist. The nuts would crack open every time." "A Manayunk man," said the third, "can give his head a jerk that turns back his eyelids. He has to turn them down again with his fingers. This is an uly feat, and I'm glad it is rare." "I knew at school," said the fourth drummer, "a boy named Bucky Adams who could play tunes by snapping his fingers. The thumb and first two fingers of each hand would work away busily, and forth would come the clearest, sweetest, faintest music. I used to sit with Bucky Adams and many a tedious school session would he make shorter and pleasanter with this odd gift." Wedding Gift. A French explorer found in the interior of Borneo a singular and grewsome wedding gift. It was the skull of a Negrito-Papon, carved by the Dayaks. Horse Faithful to Duty. Expressman Reynolds of Putnam, Conn., owns an old horse which recently fell in his stall and was allowed to run loose around the yard for a day or two. Mr. Reynolds hitched up his team, and old Major decided that it was his duty to help, so he followed to the freight depot, where he stood while the wagon was being loaded, and then followed behind all over the city. Thief In Loslng Transaction. A couple of weeks ago, some thief stole six fine pullets from the barn of John Stockwell of Manchester, Vt., and substituted for them two roosters and a small hen. A local newspaper gave the incident some notice and the pullets were mysteriously returned—not, however, until the two roosters had been eaten up by Mr. Stockwell. No one has come after the hen yet. Good Money From Small Flock. John Baldwin of Groton, Vt., has a flock of ten sheep from which he received an income of $72 the past season. Seven ewes raised eleven lambs, averaging nearly 100 pounds each when sold. The income from the sale of nine lambs and one wether was $42.25, this with the year's clip of wool made the $72, besides adding two to the number of his flock. Pecullar Honolulu Stone. Honolulu has on exhibition a specimen of the illiini, or "stone that breeds," from Kau island. The natives say that if the stone is placed in a glass jar and water poured over it and the jar be corked for a couple of days the stone will reproduce itself in the form of four or five smaller stones. Eight Logs from Spruce Tree Frank E. Eddy recently cut a spruce tree at Townsend, Vt, the trunk of which was cut into eight logs which together scaled 1,500 feet. TWINS WEIGHED THREE POUNDS: Smallest Babies on Record in a New Orleans Hospital. In the Milliken hospital at New Orleans are a pair of twins which are probably the smallest living twins in this section of the country, if not in the whole United States. Together they weigh less than three pounds, and though they are so small that they can hardly be seen in their little beds, they are thriving under the care of the sisters and nurses of the hospital. They are boys, and, although only 29 days old, they have already been named. In the hospital register their names are given as Charles and Kolmer Morgan, and their address at No. 1207 Annette street.—New York Herald Burro Broke Up the Ball. A ball given at Daggett, Cal., in honor of Mr. and Mrs. G. B. H. Bart of Barsot, who had just been married, was broken up by the appearance on the ballroom floor of a lanky desert burro, astride of which sat James Horgan, a well known prospector. The upper strata of Daggett were present, the best musicians in fifty miles had been employed, and for three days the floor of the ballroom had been rubbed down with wax until every board shone like glass. In the middle of the dance, while sixty couples were gracefully gliding about, the door was suddenly thrown open and, with a genuine desert whoop, in rode Horgan. The burro, accustomed to tread carefully along the steep declivities where a missstep meant death, picked its way almost to the center of the floor. The dancers fell back amazed. Suddenly its legs slipped from under the animal. Staggering to regain its footing it cut numerous grotesque antics, and finally turned almost a complete somersault. By degrees it was assisted up, and Horgan disappeared, but the ball was not resumed. Tattooed Hand. The natives of the Marquesas islands, which belong to France, tattoo their hands in elaborate patterns. Ram Saved Man's Life. To be charged by an infurilated bull and gored almost to insensibility and afterward to be rescued through the interference of a ram is the remarkable experience of John Michel, a farm hand employed on the farm of Mike Walters, near Benridge, Minn. Michel was milking the cows in the pasture lot when a bull charged him, knocked him to the ground and furiously attempted to gore him. Michel made desperate attempts to escape from the enraged animal and was nearly unconscious when a ram charged the bull, with the result that the latter turned his attention to the new foe and Michel succeeded in crawling through the fence and escaping. The man is badly bruised and wounded, but no bones were broken and he will recover. Music Attracted Skunk. A Southwest Harbor man was playing the violin in the twilight recently when a sleek little skunk came dancing upon the veranda and up to the door near which the musician was seated. Here the skunk apparently danced a jig to the tune of the music and when the music ceased and the player reached for his gun Mr. Skunk made his bow and a hasty exit—Chicago Chronicle. Twelve-Year-Old's First Deer One of the happiest and proudest boys in Maine is 12-year-old Loyal Gillman of Manchester. The lad saw a big deer walking almost into the dooryard at home. He quietly went after his father's rifle, tracked the deer to a nearby field and dropped him at the first shot. Pioneer Automobile. The first motor car invented in England about 1785 was a small affair, having a steam cylinder only three-quarters of an inch in diameter. Though it could run from one to two miles, it could only carry a trifling load. Old Coin Found In Leaves. While raking leaves at Bethel, Vt., Robert Currier turned up a coin which proved to be one of the old-fashioned large kind. The coin is very distinct and is of the issue of 1803. LET the preachers and every leader of thought among us spread the sentiment against the nefarious policy dens of the city. The operation of these places are unlawful and should be abolished. LIKE a slave driver, the big policeman on Market square, has a long whip and uses it frequently on the newsboys in the afternoon. The police authorities should not allow if. If the boys violate any ordinance, they should be arrested, but not assaulted in such manner. In his annual report, Mayor Myers made a recommendation that should be enforced and that is the erection of better tenement houses for the poorer classes. We have spoken of the awful condition of many of the tenements now being rented. VARDAMAN, the governor of Mississippi, runs hot and cold. He would lead his officers to prevent a lynching, but have no scruples when it comes to having a convict around his mansion and give him a beating now and then. The governor seems to like the old days of slavery and its barbarous accompaniment. The following is a very significant and appreciable clipping from the Darien (Ga,) Gazette: "The term of Postmaster Jackson will expire next month and he has forwarded his application for re-appointment to Washington. The petition asking for his appointment was generally,signed by our people and we have no doubt but that he will be retained. He has made a good officer. We have heard of no other applicant." A few days ago a colored man was severely beaten at the court house because he intimated that he was against the present administration. Other fights and much disorder were prevalent during the week. It is claimed that city employees are causing the trouble. Such action will hurt the administration to a great extent. EVER since the inaugurating of the Telfair Academy of Arts and Science, colored people were admitted, and in fact efforts were made by those in charge to interest the colored people to attend. Hereofore no "kicks" were made about it Recently free days were given the public, of which the colored citizens took, advantage. Because of this objection is being raised to their presence. It is not known when such narrowness and prejudice will cease, but there is one thing certain, at the end it will not be the colored people who are harmed thereby, but those who engender and maintain such Godless feeling. The connection of Honorable Judson W. Lyons' name with the sending out of the report stating that no more colored men will be appointed in the south is unfortunate and uncalled for. Everybody knowing the genial captain will immediately discredit the report. Capt. Lyons is whole souled and broad-minded, and will not under any circumstances resort to anything questionable for effect sake. The following denial is taken from the Washington Post: Judson W. Lyons. Register of the Treasury, in a formal statement declares that an article published in a weekly newspaper in New York, yesterday, written from Washington under date of January 28, which says that he gave out or inspired the statement published some two weeks ago that the President would replace all negroes holding offices in the south by white men, "is untrue and without one jota of foundation, to far as it makes me the author or inspirator of that statement." Mr. Lyons sides: "No such policy as this was ever made known to me by the President or any one authorized to speak for him." At Canton, this state, an attempt was made to assault a white woman a few days ago. She gave a description that fitted a white man who was found with his face partly blackened. The mob's fury wafted when this was found out and he was not molested. The mob did not want a white man, they were eager for the blood of an innocent colored man, and thus it is, in mob ridden communities. Again, near Atlanta recently, a white woman was assaulted. The woods were-scoured for a Negro assailant but without success. At last it was found out that the crime was committed by a white man with blacken face. It is too bad that the colored man has to carry his burdens and the white man's too. Farmers' Conference. The annual conference of the farmers will be held at the Georgia State Industrial College on Feb. 21, 22 and 23. Much interest is being manifested in these conferences by the farmers in the state and especially in this section. Much good has been done by the past conferences, and this one will be no exception. Able speakers have been secured to make addresses. The program is complete with excellent subjects that will be helpful to each attendant. THE TRIBUNE endorses fully these conferences and commend President R R. Wright and his faculty for their efforts in benefitting a class that is really the bone and sinew of the race. As every preparation is being made for the comfort and also instruction of the farmers, they should take advantage of it and attend in large numbers. President Wright has already recieved a number of letters from prominent farmers who are coming. The conference is not only for the farmers, but other artisans and persons interested, in race advancement. Business men to Confer. The business men of Macon, Ga. are perfecting arrangements for a public session of the Local Negro Business League, on next Tuesday. At that time there will be in the city of Macon, hundreds of prominent Negro business men and women, together with others from all parts of the state, who are interested in the promotion of Negro business enterprises, and the Negro Business League. Although the meeting is to be held under the auspices of the Macon Negro Business League, its purpose is to bring together as many as possible of the Negro Business men and women of the state, in order that there might be developed a more united and effected interest in local league work throughout the state, and that the proper assistance and interest be taken in making the session of the National Negro Business League to be held in Atlanta next August, the grandest in the history of the League. "The Local Negro Business League," "The necessity for state organization," "The Atlanta Meeting," along with other subjects will be discussed, and every body is invited to take in any and all proceedings. Where it is possible, local leagues in other cities are requested to send elected representatives. Persons requiring accommodation, or further information should write A. S. Beasley, Jno. Maud, Dr. W. O. Emory, members of the local committee, or Jno. Phillips, President, Macon Negro Business League; L. A. Jones, Secy.; G. M. Howell, 1st Vice President National Business League, Atlanta or J. G. Carter, member Ex. Com., Brunswick, Ga Has Georgia a District Grand Lodge? The District Grand Lodge of Georgia is run by one man, the secretary. He suspends Lodges and takes in Lodges to suit his own will. Some time in 1904 and early in 1905 our Lodge lost three members who were in good standing. Each was in the possession of a policy, the face of which read one hundred and fifty dollars, $150. Neither widow has been paid. The District G, M. told us in open meeting he was sure that two of these 'claims would be paid. But as the board could not agree the matter would be settled at the District Lodge to which we were a delegate. When the District Lodge convened here last August we were told to appear before the executive committee. We spent half a day before this body only to be rightfully told that our matter was a matter of grievance and as such should be taken to that committee. We went before that body and were rewarded a favorable answer. But on the adoption of its report we were told all claims on policies unpaid must go to the committee on endowments. Mark you, now, this committee was a new one to make laws to govern the endowment after their adoption by the District Grand Lodge. Yet this was the committee, we were told, to say must our phans and widows be paid. We then called for the District Lodge to say. Wilson left his chair and and gave it to Jones, who knew nothing of our trouble and cared less. When all their schemes had failed, the matter, without the consent of the Lodge was returned to the executive board from which it came, and there it dled. The whole thing is a plan to rob subordinate lodges and Ben Davis is at the root of it. The law is known as Ben Davis endowment law. Gentlemen, we don't want your honors, if they are to come by robbery of orphans and widows. Now Ben sends all subordinate Lodges another notice to have secretary and treasurer's bond sent to him, and if they come up short we ask Ben who would make the subordinate's money good. We could have gotten an answer from a stove as soon. If something is not done for the Odd Fellows in Georgia it will soon be a thing of history with Ben Davis as a headstone marking, its last resting place. All officers made at the Grand Lodge have left the nest to Ben Davis and Wilson who are sure to hatch out death to your treasury. These men have only personal gain at heart, and they are sure to come out whole if it puts every orphan in the poor house and every widow in the streets. My advice is pay no more money to Ben unless we sight land, for we are now at sea as "Shylock's" (Ben Davis) net is right at our feet. He is a wolf in sheep's clothing. RUTLEDGE ON REGISTRATION. Speaker Flags Those Unqualified. Editor of THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE: Having learned long since that if one has anything which he wishes to put before the colored people of Savannah, one can do this by no better way than linserting it in the columns of the people's paper, THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE; and believing that our people should take a great interest in those things which will tend to uplift them, I beg to have the following statements published. Having heard that Mr. Bob, Butledge was going to speak before the Sunday Club on "Registration and what it means to the Negro" I thought I'd better go up and hear the discussion on this very interesting question. Well sir, I wish all of our young men had been present to hear some plain facts, which were said straight from the shoulder of a "battle-scar'd veteran." You will notice that I say all young men ought to have heard this address. I speak of the young men because it is in them we have our hopes—of course, there are many middle-aged and old men who have borne the brunt of battle for these many years and who deserve all honor and credit for the great part they have played; but while there have been many elderly men who have conducted themselves, so nobly in this cause, there are the vast majority who have not come up to the standard or who have fallen behind, and do not conform to the spirits of the times and are what I term "The class of decided old billygoats." They are regular stumbling blocks to progress, advancing civilization and on the onward march of the Negro race. Yet, if one were in their presence and listen to them telling what they have done—somewhere in almost ancient history, one would think that they had done little less than miracles. But, ask them this little question: Have you paid your poll tax this year? Immediately, they begin to tell this reason and the other reason why they have stopped paying. One will say, "Why there's nothing in politics for the Negro, why should I pay poll tax? Another will say, "I haven't any children, why should I pay to educate other men's children?" One will say, "Why should I pay, when the primary system is so largely put into operation?" Another will ask, "What's the use of paying poll tax anyway?" And so the excuses begin to file in. This class is what Mr. Rutledge calls "the dodgers," and I'll tell you they are sure enough "dodgers"; even if they don't dodge "corn" or "corn-dodger." I regard this class as utterly lost beyond recovery. It is not altogether what we have done but what we are doing which should be our battle cry. Mr. Rutledge pointed out reason after reason, made appeal after appeal, cited instances after instance, which should cause the Negro to register. To go through all these reasons would take a volume, but let me use one example: We need a new school for colored children; thousands of whom wander the streets in dense ignorance. Now, how can the Board of Education listen to appeal from us to make room for these children, when the fathers and brothers of these children will not even pay one dollar a year for poll-tax? Compare the population of whites and blacks in Chatham county; then compare the registered voters, whites and blacks, and you will find that in numbers the blacks out number the whites; while in voting strength the whites are ten-fold in majority. But should we give up in despair because we have these classes of "dogger," "decided old billy goats" and others among us? Not in the least! The budding season is at hand. Let the class of property holders among us form the nucleus; let those registered voters who have fought and are fighting true to the flag gather around, and then gather in and add life and blood to the organization by making welcome the young men. The budding season is at hand, let us weed out the unfruitful trees. Having had a dime in pocket, I bought 5 cents worth of scrap-meat for my dog Napoleon, and a Washington plee for myself; after which I told Napoleon all the things which Mr. Rutledge had said about the fellow who doesn't pay his poll-tax. After I had finished, what do you think Napoleon did? He told me, he would argue the affirmative side of the following question at any time before Messrs. Good Judgment, Fair Consideration, and Right Reasoning, as judges, viz: Resolved, That men are made a little lower than Angels, but the fellow who doesn't pay his poll-tax is less by far than a dog who wear a dollar license about his neck. Claxton Dots. Claxton, Ga. Feb 6, 1806 Mr. Editor:—Please allow space in your neway columns to say a word of a good man also of the good people of Claxton. We congratulate ourselves in having Rev. S. E. Cruse here to pastor our people assisted by his cultured wife. He is making his way in the homes of many. Claxton A. M. E. church was small before Elder Cruse came here, but now is a large church. At a late hour Monday night there came a boat of young ladies and gentlemen from North Claxton led by Mrs. Anna Strickland; East, Mrs. Louisa Bacon; South, Mr. A. W. Coston one of the business men of our town, Mrs G. Cokely from the West, Mrs. I. S. Banks and Miss Willie Roberts of central Claxton, all came with heavy laden baskets with all kinds of dainties that one's eyes could behold. Mrs. Gertrude Cokely presented a very beautiful what-not stand made of West Indes cane, it is of fine mechanism. The donors are as follows: Mrs Anna Strickland, Miss M. Strickland, Mr. Quinoy Strickland, Miss Willie B. Roberts, Messrs. H. Kepeney, P. W. Bacon, I. S. Banks H. Williams, S. Harper, W. Walker, R. E. Dauiels, G. Lanier, A. W. Coston, I. Hendrick, M. Bruton, W. R. Dixon, Mesdames L. Bacon, M. Bass, Lilla Banks, J. Goings, C. Roberts, G. Cokely, Miss Lunar Hendrix, and Uncle John Henry. Mr. A. W. Coston and Miss Willie Dauiels made the donating addresses which were unique. The young people sang "We shall be like him." Mrs. Cruse with her sweet voice sung, "I'll go where you want me to go dear Lord, I'll be what you want me to be." Rev. Cruse sang, "Come O Come again." "God be with you till we meet again" was sang, then adieu. Miss WILLIE DANIELS. Gone, But Not Forgotten. In loving Memory of My Dear Husband SAMUEL F. SPAULDING.

"I recall a case where a cow, usually extremely gentle in her demeanor, became suddenly mad, probably because of chewing on a buckeye bush, and started in a wild chase after a friend of mine. He had a good start and was able to clear the pasture fence before the cow could reach him. Just as he fell on the opposite side the cow rammed the fence, and my friend was buried by at least a wagon load of rails, stakes and riders. We nad to dig him out after the cow had cooled somewhat. He was bruised up somewhat, but he swore he never felt better in his life than he did with all of those fence rails piled up on top of him.

Larger fans, those decorated with real lace and ostrich feathers, will also be fashionable, and as for the smallest fans of all, those perhaps five inches long, this season will see their glorification. These smallest of fans are called theatre fans, bag fans, glove fans, etc. It is the exceptional fan that is not partially or entirely covered with spangles. In the hands of coquery nothing could be more effective than the spangled fan. The queer things about it, though, is that it may be as dignified as it is mischievous. It takes color from the one who carries it. The smallest fans, as well as the medium-sized ones used for dances and dinners, are practically all made on the same order, though of course, the former do not admit of the elaboration of design found on the larger size. The gauze foundation prevails, and is treated with adornment in spangles, hand painting or applied lace or silk in charming design. A great bachelor button flower done in silver spangles of the oval shape in a white fan is very attractive. On a black fan is seen an iridescent bird perched on a gold branch that bears silver fruit. Green fans are new and well liked, as are also those in the modish raspberry hue. The latter spangled in a design of gold are especially effective. Hand-painted flowers, like roses and poppies, sprinkled with a little spangle-dew, make a delightful airy, dalnty finish. Applications of white lace on black grounds are much sought after. Fans of white gauze on one side and of black on the other give a cloudy background on which spangles or lace show effectively.—Washington Star. Dressing by Signs. "The hardest thing about life in the suburbs," said the girl who lives there, "is that you never can tell what weather conditions are likely to prevail in town. You get up in the morning, peer out the window and discover the sky to be gray and weeping. Therefore you put on your oldest duds. By the time you get into town the sky has wiped its eyes and is smiling again an dthere you are in storm boots and high water skirts. Or the country sky is blue, and you dress up pretty, and lo! in town you find it to be raining in bucketfels. "On many a doubtful morning, my toilet is conducted something like this: "Mother, at foot of stalrs—Dear, you'd better put on a short skirt. It looks like a stormy day." "About the time I am dressed for rain Aunt Maude calls me—'The paper says fair, dearle, so maybe it's going to clear up.'" "Off goes the short skirt gleefully, because I'm duo to look particularly nice this afternoon, anyhow. No sooner do I get into a nice frock than swish goes a patter of drops against my window pane." "Oh, dear,' I say, 'it is going to rain.' And off goes the nice frock, just as mother comes strutting upstairs." "The birds are flying upward,' she says eagerly—dear old mother hates to have my good times spolled—'so I guess you can wear your silk.' "There is also a blue patch in the sky above the buttonball tree. Wherefore, on goes the silk once more, and I set out in trusting confidence—to roll into the city train shed in a drencing downpour that lasts all day. "If you live in the suburbs you'll soon lose faith in the birds, the newspaper reports and all other signs, and dress every morning in the melancholy conviction that whatever you don't expect the weather will do, in the country, that's what it will surely do in town."—Scranton Times. Her Pride Had a Fall. She was smartly gowned, she held her head high, she had an expression of complete sufficiency, and she had caused trouble for the conductor from the very moment she boarded the car. Indeed, she began that before she was on the car, for she had waited on the wrong corner and had taken her own time, as well as that of the public, to cross the street. Among her performances were the proffer, after a long delay, of a, $5 bill, a demand that a shade be lowered to protect her from the sun and a request for a transfer after passengers on both sides of her had got theirs and the conductor had moved away. All this was with that bland and superior manner of detachment that is far more provocative of exasperation than either plebelan density or patrician maliciousness. And the conductor was hot clear through. At a certain point of her triumphant journey the impenetrable lady prepared to leave the car. She reach- ed up confidently and pulled the bell-rope, but, as she was on the left side of the car, it was the bell on the rear platform that rang. The car went on; the conductor, collecting a fare near the front of the car, saw and smiled, and the lady gave the rope another jerk, this time with a trace of imperious impalence. The car went on, the conductor's smile grew wide, the bell-cord was nearly pulled from its fastenings when the lady stood up and yanked it. She was two streets beyond her crossing when she turned about and, with mingled surprise and anger and ingenuousness, cried out: "Why don't you stop the car?" "You didn't make any sign to me, Miss," sald the conductor, as he pulled the right cord. "I thought you was practicin' 'Cash'" It was Twentleth street and Sixth avenue; the rude shot went home, and as the dady tumbled out, red and tearful, a dozen awful men roared with laughter—New York Press. Meanness of Rich Women. A young woman who acted for a time as secretary to a prominent New York society woman tells 'some remarkable tales of the small meanness of the very rich. She says her patroness, whose wealth touches the million mark, was, in the first place, one of the most successful smugglers on this side of the water, bringing over hundreds of dollars worth of gowns, jewels, laces and other expensive articles every year, free of duty, by means of false bottom trunks, putting soiled waistbands and linings in new gowns to make them appear old, and resorting to the various other subterfuges known to that large class of wealthy women who devote much of their time and ingenuity in devising ways of cheating the government of duties. And this they do not merely to save money—which they fling about recklessly in other directions—but because they think it clever to "get the better" of some one. This society woman boasts among her acquaintances of another scheme for saving money of which she is particularly proud—that of having imported cloaks, dresses and hats sent home "on approval" from the shops, so that her maid may copy them, and returning them the next day to be credited to her account. By this means she is able to duplicate for the bare cost of the materials patterns which the importer has paid heavy duties to bring from abroad for his customers. The shopkeepers are perfectly aware of this practice, but, as the woman is a "charge" customer, they have no redrifts. If they refuse to take the article back she will refuse to pay for them. Then, too, rich women are nothing if not capricious. Fashionable modistes frequently have to sell to a, second-hand dealer for $25 a $150 gown, that has been thrown back upon her hands after it has been ordered by a wealthy patron. But the greatest sufferer is the shoemaker, who will often have returned to him shoes made to fit some customer whose feet are a peculiar shape or are not mates. These of course are utterly, useless, yet it is the poor man and not the rich woman who must suffer the loss. And the tradespeople dare not complain, for the women who do these things set the fashion, and if their patronage is withdrawn most of the other customers will leave, too. So the tradesman must grin and bear it.—New York Press. Fashion Hints. Pale colored and white silk stockings are painted in flower designs. Chenille embroidery is much used both in millinery and in the decoration of evening gowns. The season started with moderate sized turbans and toques, but the feeling now is for larger hats, especially among "la haute mode." A handsome vell makes a charming present, especially if the recipient is a motoring enthusiast, for the new motor veils are things of beauty. Mushroom brims are again very much in evidence, but they are treated differently, and at the left back, giving the brim a becoming droop over the right brow. Dainty silk stockings appeal to every woman. This year openwork mesh is not fashionable, so buy embroidered stockings, of which the shops have a large assortment. A charming imported dinner gown of absinthe green chiffon was so simply made that it could be duplicated at home by a clever seamstress. The gown had a quimpe or yoke of narrow Valenciennes ruffled on thin white net. The bodice beneath was laid in tiny tucks for fulness, the tucks extending about two inches below the band of green taffeta which outlined the waist.

In the half a century from 1850 to 1900, when the population of the United States increased from 28,000, 000 to 76,000,000, or multiplied three and one-third times—a rate of in- crease far beyond that of any other great country—its wealth expanded from $7,000,000,000 to $94,000,000,000 being multiplied more than thirteen times.

OVER SEA HABIT The persistent effect upon the heart of caffeine in coffee cannot but result in the gravest conditions, in time. Each attack of the drug (and that means each cup of coffee) weakens the organs a little more, and the end is almost a matter of mathematical demonstration. A lady writes from a Western State: "I am of German descent and it was natural that I should learn at a very early age to drink coffee. Until I was twenty-three years old I drank scarcely anything else at my meals. "A few years ago I began to be affected by a steadily increasing nervousness, which eventually developed into a distressing heart trouble that made me very weak and miserable. Then, some three years ago, was added asthma in its worst form. My sufferings from these things can be better imagined than described. "During all this time my husband realized more fully than I did that coffee was injurious to me, and made every effort to make me ston. "Finally it was decided a few months ago, to quit the use of coffee absolutely, and to adopt Postum Food Coffee as our hot table drink. I had but little idea that it would help me, but consented to try it to please my husband. I prepared it very carefully, exactly according to directions, and was delighted with its delicious flavor and refreshing qualities. "Just so soon as the poison from the coffee had time to get out of my system the nutritive properties of the Postum began to build me up, and I am now fully recovered from all my nervousness, heart trouble and asthma. I gladly acknowledge that now, for the first time in years, I enjoy perfect health, and that I owe it all to Postum." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason.

Secondly—It would appear that he had used che opportunities which his position gave him. ‘vax collecting proper does not bring a man a large fortune. ‘The income Js usually grad- ed-to give him merely a moderate Iiv- ing.

Heve the people, and has Jesus mistaken his character? Is he a mis- Judged and unapprecieted man? Not so do I read the story. The words which we are thinking of are not meant to describe his past, but his future. They do not set forth what has becn his habit, his manner of liv- ing; they are the announcement of a suddenly formed purpose, And that purpose, as we shall see presently, is the natural-reaction from what have been wp to this time the motive and method’ of nis life, Though he has done all these bad things, justly won’ the odium that he enjoys, none the leso sesus-sees In him posaibi'ines of amendment and nobil- ity and calls him down from the tree on which he bas perched himself to become his guest. This condescention involves an interview and_an influx of the personality of Jesus upon hia soul, This brings about a, tremendous revul- sion. The revulsion mzy perhaps be the end of ae long, slow process, Has He not found that his riches after all did not per him for the loss of his own peace of minu and fc~ the hate of the community in which Le lives, for the scorn of a whole city? Has he not found that after all his wealth did not satisfy or make him happy? ‘That, tu» sin of its acquisition was like a canker at ita-beart? ‘Moresthan this, when the ght comes Mt brings out the dark lines. Like a flash of Ughtning, the presence of Christ filuminates his past; and just a8 Péter, when he realized the divinity of his Lord, cried: “Depart from me, for I am ‘elnfol man, O Lord,” 60 Zacchaens feels all at once the enor- imity‘ot his sin, It stands up in strong relief against what bas been his mas- .ter-passion, his greed. In an jnstant he sees tne turpitude, the ugliness of what ho has been doing. What he has seen*before dimty is now emphasized, stends before his mind tn clear, strong ines. He {s'in the-light and all at once a mighty resolve'eeizes him. He will break with bis past, will give up his besetting Sin; yea, will with all his ‘might battle with it, Just as in Ephe- ‘sus, among the converts of Paul, those who chad been dabbling with ‘magic brought their books to burn; just as a drunkard knows that if he is to follow Christ ‘he must dash the cup forever from his lips, 0 Zacchaeus forms and announces his purpose to break with his greed, ‘This resolve includes two things. First—Generosity. “Behold, Lord, | the half of my goods, of my income, I glve to we poor.” Notica the proportion. Moses asked. at least one-tenth, add to thgt de mands for public requirements and a fifth was reached. This man cays “halt.” Compare that with the gifts of’ some of our notoriously rich men to-day. Very few attain to the mark of this converted publican, A man who died the other day left an estate of some $7,500,000, of which $100,000 was bequeathed to charity, and the newspaper spoke of a large amount being bequeathed for charitable be- quests, One hundred thousand dollars out of $7,500,000 is a very small pro- portion, Eet us hope that during his life time the man did better thin that. There was something extraor- dinary in the bigness of this purpose of Zacchaeus, Our multi-mlllionaires, most of tnem, even those who at times startle us by their gifts, have still something to Jearn from Jericho's pub- ican. Secondly—Restitution. “If I have taken an> thing from any man by faise accusation, I resfore him four- fold.” ‘What a vista these words open back into his life. They show how a part at-least of hig wealth had been won. They. show also how-the methods of the past ok now to his awakening ‘con- sclence, He proposes to deal with bis Habit by a-herolc treatment. “I will restore fourfold.” As bo carries out hat purpose, imagine, If you can, the fect upon ‘those, who in the past, had had bitter and exasperating exper- ences with him... Should the like be lone to-day, what 4 stirring up“there- would be, What a change of places setween the rich and the poor. What vast swellings of the conscience fund f the government! What thousands, erhaps milhons of acres of public and would be returned to goverpmext control. What a dis, srging there rould be of exhorbitant freights. How nany policy holders would be made lad, How many crushed out firms vould be resuscitated. Imagine, if ‘ou can, the restitution of all wrongly otten wealth. Why it would be ike | | treams ot water flowing through dry | | laces. It would be like a transforms- | | on scene in a pantomime.

And notice that Jesus accepts | ig purpose as a perfectly proper | | bing. He has the true-spirit of a con- | ) erted ufe—large-hearted lberality, | . estitution of all wrongly taken prop- ty.

WINTER BIRD NEIGHBORS. Many of These Much-Traveled Little Fellows Are Surprisingiy Tame. It {8 surprising that there are birds ‘Which come to us only to spend the winter, leaving us again at the begin- ning of spring fer northern lands and snow-banked hillsides, where the long day and pale twilight nights of the Arctic reign. Birds that ratse their broods in the far, treeless northland, where heather, grasses and stunted alders grow on a shallow, soaking soll underlaid by great depth of eternal ice, at the appreach of winter gather into great roving flocks to surge south- ward to the gentler climate of our Ditzzardly “temperate” winters! Yet all young country folks have seen these restless, wandering flocks of winter lovers, and occasionally even in the towns and cities there arrive un- famillar companies of fat, fluffy birds, busily opening the cones of the firs and spruces, or devouring the buds of the maples. = Many of these much-traveled little fellows are wonderfully tame, and seem not to experience fear of man so universal with animals that rear their young in his neighborhood. Pine- grosbeaks and cross-ills, whose real homes are in the silent, moss-filled spruce forests of the great north, will almost allow themselves to be caught in your hand!

Memp! pene : Chief "Advisor" Proved Heavy Burden on Wallace's Shoulders and Job Was Thrown Up to Shake Him Off. John F. Wallace, former chief engineer of the 1stmian canal commission, testified before the senate committee at Washington Monday on interoceanic canals. He said he made a protest particularly against red tape methods and a multiplicity of masters, and then read a statement referring to Secretary Taft's attack on him, saying: "The only basis pretended for this attack upon me was a difference of opinion between Secretary Taft and Mr. Cromwell, on the one ride, and myself on the other as to my right to decide for myself when I thought the welfare of the enterprise and my own welfare justified me in resigning my position. "My appointment named no length of time I was to hold it, and I was liable to be dismissed at any moment by the government. Such being the case, I believed then, and believe now, it was my personal right—and I believe every reputable engineer must be of the same opinion—to resign it whenever I thought it necessary to do; provided, of course, that I took abundant care that the work in my charge would suffer no harm by my resignation." Mr. Wallace said he had taken every precaution; to that end and came home to have a private talk with Secretary Taft. This was denied him. In regard to the type of canal, he asked to be excused from examination until he had an opportunity to examine the majority and minority reports of the board of consulting engineers. One of the reasons for its withdrawal, he said, had been that he had made many mistakes in his attitude toward the canal, and that Secretary Taft and Mr. Cromwell had made a mistake in sizing up his adaptability. He thought that he had been placed in a secondary position, so far as exercising executive judgment was concerned, after Mr. Shonts had been appointed as head of the commission. He realized, he said, that his position was such that friction was bound to occur between himself and Mr. Shonts and also between himself and Mr. Cromwell. The inquiry was pursued by Senator Morgan to determine "what Mr. Cromwell had to do with it." Mr. Wallace then read from a public letter issued by Secretary Taft, saying that Mr. Cromwell, through designation of the president, had been acting in an advisory capacity on all matters relating to canal affairs. Mr. Wallace said he felt that Cromwell had a great deal of influence with the secretary. He wanted to discuss with Mr. Taft "Cromwell's connection with affairs. He has done several things with the railroad property which I questioned and seemed to be the controlling force in the management of the property. I considered he was doing business along dangerous lines." "If I catch your meaning, a part of your business with the secretary was to shake Cromwell off your shoulders" suggested Senator Morgan. "You have caught my meaning," was the reply. "How did you regard him—as an advisor or spy?" asked Senator Morgan, and Mr. Wallace replied that he simply felt that Mr. Cromwell had a great deal of influence with the secretary.

Illinois Central, the Big Central Mississippi Valley System, Taken Over by Harriman Interests. News of the most important successful transfer of railroad control since the Northern Pacific and Great Northern roads jointly took over the Burlington system, about five years ago, became known in New York Saturday. It was learned that a deal which will bring the Union Pacific and Illinois Central railroads together under one management has been positively fixed. First knowledge of the big transaction was gained from the statement of a prominent financier who said that with its profits of more than $100,000,000 growing out of its investment in Northern Pacific and Great Northern shares, the Union Pacific company has purchased 62 per cent of the capital stock of the Illinois Central. The accumulation of the latter had been gradual, he said, extending over a period of two years. As the Union Pacific had needed money to take over purchases of Illinois Central, it had sold Northern Securities or Northern Pacific and Great Northern stock in the open market. The same authority stated that the Union Pacific some time ago took over all the Illinois Central stock owned by the Railroad Securities company, a New Jersey corporation, organized by Harriman interests for the purpose of owning and holding Illinois Central shares. There is no record of the amount of these holdings, but they are known to be very large. The New York Herald of Monday printed the following: "It was learned in this city that there are many indications that the Illinois Central railroad has been acquired by interests identified with the Harriman party. It has been known for some time that the Illinois Central holdings in the hands of this party have been figured as high as 160,000 shares of a par value of $16,000,000. According to statements made by persons who are in a position to inspect the transfer_books of the Illinois Central, there is evidence there that goes far toward confirming the story of the merger." CHEATED OF TEN MILLIONS. Cotton Growers Lost That Much Through Fake Report, Says Taylor. President J. A. Taylor of the National Ginners' Association, in a signed statement, given out at Washington Saturday, asserted he had "found out that intentionally, I believe, the January 16 report of the census bureau included from one to seven days more ginning than should have been included, and this report will cost the south $10,000,000. "The discrepancy," he added, "was caused by the way the instructions were given to the government agents, asking them to get from the ginners the amount of cotton ginned to date, and the amount expected-to be ginped. "The ginners believed that the cotton already ginned and yet to be ginned were to be added for a total report, and in many instances gave the agents the number of bales ginned to, say, on the 17th or 23rd of the month. There was also a loss of $7,000,000 in our trade balance with foreign countries as a result of the report." He quoted Mr. North as saying a leak from his office had never been discovered, and said he thought Mr. North was mistaken. INSURANCE SCANDAL REPORT.
