CORNERING COTTON New York Syndicate Will Buy Half Million Bales. TO PAY THIRTEEN CENTS Spot Holders Have the Option of Releasing at That Figure or Awaiting Advance to 15 Cents—The Plan so Outlined By the announcement that the Southern Cotton Association has completed arrangements with an eastern syndicate to turn over to the latter before July 1 of this year half a million bales of cotton from southern planters at a minimum price of 13 cents, one of the most magnificent steps in the history of the association, was made public. The step, if successfully carried out, and elaborated in the future, will practically complete the scheme of the Southern Cotton Association, that of restraining the supply of staple and so controlling its appearance on the market that the planters will be enabled to secure a good profit bearing price for their product. E. R. Thomas of New York, well known as a banker and financier, is at the head of the syndicate to take the 500,000 bales this spring. This agreement further carries provision for the syndicate's taking all cotton ready for market in August and September of this year at the market price then obtaining, to be not less than the minimum fixed by the Southern Cotton Association. The agreement is not to affect those who are holding their staple for 15 cents. It is stated by President Jordan that the New York bankers are fully prepared to finance southern bankers in assisting the holders for higher prices. Following is the official statement prepared and submitted Monday by President Harvie Jordan: "I have secured an agreement with a syndicate of eastern capitalists, headed by Mr. E. R. Thomas, the well known banker and financier of New York, to take 500,000 hales of middling cotton from southern planters at a minimum price of 13 cents per pound, deliverable at interior points or the ports by or before July 1, 1906, the deal to be closed so soon as options on the syndicate's requirements have been secured. The agreement further provides for the taking of all cotton ready for market next August and September from the crop of 1906, at the then market prices, to be not less than the minimum price fixed by the Southern Cotton Associa- tion. This agreement is not intended to affect holders who are demanding a maximum of 15 cents at the present time. New Pork bankers are also prepared to fully finance all southern bankers in assisting holders of cotton for higher prices. Option contracts will be at once forwarded, upon application, to all cotton growers whose addresses are not already in my possession." "I agree to sell to the order of Harvie Jordan of the Southern Cotton Association for the E. R. Thomas Syndicate of New York City, ____ bales middling cotton at 25 cents per pound at interior points, and further agree to ship same on demand on or before July 1, 1906. The title to and possession of said cotton to remain with owner until purchase money is paid. Following is the form of contract agreed upon by Thomas, his associates and President Jordan: "I also agree to sell to said syndicate all cotton made by me during the months of August and September at the then market price, to be not less than the minimum price to be fixed for the new crop by the Southern Cotton Association. "The essence of this contract is the securing from the planters of the south not less than 200,000 bales of cotton of the present crop at the above mentioned price. "Name...... "P. O. Address "I also retain —— bales of cotton, which I will pledge to hold for a maximum price of 15 cents. "Name....." "Acceptance of this proposition will be mailed you, immediately upon the completion of the syndicate requirement of 500,000 of spot cotton." Alice is Twenty.Two Years Old. President and Mrs. Roosevelt entertained a large party of friends at the white house Monday night to celebrate Miss Alice Roosevelt's twenty-second birthday. VOL. XXI. The A "MUTUAL" ARREST. Captor and Prylsoner Handcuffed Together Attract Attention on the Streets of St. Louis. Two men, shackled to each other, one being further secured by handcuffs, walked through the streets of St. Louis, Mo., Monday, followed by curious crowds. They were sightseeing and their route included the four courts and many saloons. One was E. W. Martin, aged 50, a farmer of Spring Place, Ga., and the other, William H. Barnes, aged 31, of Pleasant Hill, Ill. Barnes was the prisoner. By mutual consent, and without warrant of law, the strange pair entered the four courts. The other man, excited and nervous, asked to see the chief of police. To an officer he said: "This man is my prisoner. He stole my horse and buggy and I'm taking my back to Georgia and I want you to hold him until 3 o'clock, when my train goes out. I haven't got a warrant for him, and he hasn't been indicted, but here are the papers." He showed a document signed by himself and by Barnes, according to the terms of which Barnes agreed to accompany Martin from Pleasant Hill, Ill, to Spring Place, Ga., without requisition. "Now he's balking and he says Missouri is such a good place that he wants to stay here, and so I guess I'll have to have him locked up," said Martin. His request was refused, because there was no warrant authorizing the St. Louis police to hold the prisoner. After being requested to leave the chief's office Martin said to a reporter: "This young fellow was working in a Spring Place sawmill last September and boarded at my house. He was known there as Larry Crockett. He complained that the work was too hard, and I hired him to sell poultry food for me. He left my house with my horse and buggy and forty packages of the food September 26 and never returned." Wife Beaters in District of Columbia Will Not Be Disturbed. A Washington special says: The house, Monday, had sport with the full establishing a whipping post for wifebeaters in the District of Columbia, and then laid it on the table, effectively disposing of it, by a vote or 153 to 60. The most impassioned speech for the measure was delivered by Mr. Hepburn of Iowa, who depicted the brutality of the man who would beat his wife, and declared that to be whipped was hardly adequate punishment. Mr. Adams opened the discussion with a serious speech in favor of the bill. All the opposing speeches partook of levity, and 'Mr. Adams received more than one fling because he is a bachelor. Mr. Sims of Tennessee, opposing the measure, predicted that it would get one vote only in the house. The president, he said, had advocated increased punishment for wife-beaters a year ago, "but he is a year older now, and his last message said nothing about it." He made the further point that the report of the local chief of police indicated that "common law wives and other females" received most of the beatings. "Some one has suggested we amend the bill to apply on wife chasers," he declared further, "I don't know who that would hit." (Laughter.) For five minutes Mr. Stanley of Kentucky made fun of the bill and incidentally took Mr. Adams to task for never marrying. It was, he said, a "brutal measure of brutalizing a brute." Mr. Gaines of Tennessee asked what the gentleman would do if he were to witness a husband beating his wife. "It would depend," replied Mr. Stanley, "on the husband and on the wife. If she was redheaded even my southern chivalry would not tempt me to interfere." (Laughter.) Arkansas Senator Declares He Will Abide Action of Caucus. All doubt of the attitude of Senator Clarke, of Arkansas, towards the Dominican treaty has been removed by the direct expression of the senator himself that he will abide by the action of the democratic caucus and vote with his colleagues against the treaty. Intimations that he would follow the lead of Senator Patterson and holt, having been published in the papers of his state, Senator Clarke has over his own signature made his position clear. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 17. 1906. A SONG OF DOLLARS Irritates Ears of Representative Gaines, of Tennessee. HITS AT EXPENDITURES A Washington dispatch says: The fortifications appropriation bill held the attention of the house Thursday and was the text for considerable heated argument, first over the lax methods of expenditure of public moneys and second over the location of the proposed $15,000,000 naval station for the Philippines. Mr. Gillespie of Texas made an unsuccessful attempt to get into the record a statement of grievances of the coal operators and shippers of Pennsylvania and the democratic leader, Mr. Williams, inaugurated a filibuster over the question of adjournment as a retaliation. Mr. Smith of Iowa in charge of the fortifications bill advanced the idea of vitalizing ten of the committees of the house charged with supervision of expenditures in the various government departments. He advocated an amendment to the rules, which will compel reports from these committees annually, these reports to be the result of investigation regarding government expenditures. He urged this as a preventative of "bureaucracy" towards which he saw a present tendency. Mr. Smith said the sum spent for fortifications since 1898 was $119,000,000. The plan of the Taft board contemplates spending $108,000,000 more. A skeleton artillery organization to man these fortifications would cost $10,000,000 annually. Mr. Jones of Virginia and others opposed the expenditure of $15,000,000 for the station at Subig Bay. Mr. Jones spoke of the coal problem in the Philippines in case of war. He referred to a pending bill appropriating $50,000 to buy 300 acres of coal lands on the island of Batan, and said it was a good business and stratgetic proposition. The government owned the remainder of the island, which is all coal land. The land to be acquired was adjacent to a solldid deep water harbor. "Dollars, dollars, dollars," ejaculated Mr. Galnes of Tennessee. "I have been here all day, and have heard nothing but dollars and expenditures. We are spending millions to make a great fort out of the Philippines when only last week the secretary of the treasury stopped forty elevators in the custom houses of this, country because we did not appropriate enough money to run them. Why do you do it? You are spending the people's tax money in the Philippines and making government officers climb up stairs." "In order that the elevator man in the Nashville public building and my Tennessee friend may feel relieved," explained Mr. Grosvenor of Ohio, "I want to have a statement read showing the treasury deficit nearly wiped out." A newspaper clipping giving the condition of the treasury was read. The house then adjourned until Wednesday. Resigns from Post on Atlanta News and Litigation is Ended. The dramatic tender of Hon. John Temple Graves' resignation of the editorship of the Atlanta News, brought the litigation over that paper to a sudden and, to the spectators, startling and unexpected termination in the Fulton superior court at Atlanta Tuesday morning. The resignation was accepted and Colonel Graves is no longer connected with The News, save as a stockholder. In consequence of this action on his part the various contending parties consented to the dissolution of all outstanding injunctions. BEEKING SOUTHERN HOMES. Prospective Settlers from North Visiting Georgia and Florida. More than a hundred homesekers arrived in Atlanta a few days ago over the Southern railway from Chattanooga. These homesekers were for the most part farmers from Ohio, Indiana and Illinois and the northwest. The entire party continued on to points in Florida and South Georgia. For this purpose the homesekers were taken to Savannah and Jacksonville, from which places the party will break up for the purpose of visiting many sections of the wire grass and the fruit country. QUERIES WORRY BILL. Plain Citizen Robinson of the Itahmu of Panama Comes Back at War Secretary Taft. "Are you a Caesarian atavism or reincarnation of some turbaned, robed, sworded despot of the Orient?" This question has been put to Secretary of War Taft by no less a person than Mr. Tracy Robinson, former resident of New York, who, for forty-five years has been a resident of the isthmus of Panama. Mr. Robinson has a grievance and Secretary Taft is it. He does not at all like the references to himself in the secretary's very pointed comment upon the so-called expose of Panama conditions written by Poultney Bigelow. Mr. Robinson confesses that he did give Mr. Bigelow much of the material for that article to which Secretary Taft took such strong exponent. "Mr. Bigelow can take care of himself. He can doubtless apply a ready antidote for the venom from your capacious distillery," he writes. "I am obscure, more easily crushed by your great weight." He resents the suggestion of having "an animus against the government," because he failed to get a good job under the canal commission. Mr. Robinson calls him "brave Poultney Bigelow," and says he told the truth about the swamp conditions at Colon. "You," he says to Secretary Taft, "are posing as a great man which you are not." And thereupon he puts to the secretary these questions: "Are you above and beyond the law of libel? Do you hold the fair fame of men in your keeping? Have you expropriated 'for canal use the vast outlying jungle of lies?'" Secretary Taft wears a worried look. He is wondering whether it can be true that he is a Caesarian atavism. He is wondering, also, what a Caesarian atavism is! There is some mystery about this letter. It has been sent to the press as coming from Mr. Edmund Clarence Stedman, the author, to whom Mr. Bigelow in his testimony referred as a close friend of Mr. Robinson, but Mr. Stedman has repudiated any connection with it. YOU MUST CLAIM KIN. Or Be Deprived of Invitation to Wedding of Resident Daughter ding of President's Daughter. President Roosevelt authrized the following statement, which was given out at the white house Friday: "The president and Mrs. Roosevelt ask the kind consideration of many friends who would under ordinary circumstances receive invitations to Miss Roosevelt's wedding. The capacity of the white house required that under existing circumstances invitations be limited to the closest kinsfolk, the personal friends of Miss Roosevelt and Mr. Longworth and certain classes of officials in Washington. No friends of the president or Mrs. Roosevelt are being asked unless they also come within one of those classes; and even with these limitations the number of guests threatens to overtax the capacity of the white house." DEAD BODY IDENTIFIED. Remains Found in Virginia Woods Were Those of Missing Cashier. The badly decomposed body of a man with a bullet hole through his head, which was found in a thicket on the outskirts of Roanoke, Va., is that of Sturley C. Armstrong, cashier of the Washington National Bank, who mysteriously disappeared from Pittsburg on January 2. The identification was made possible when the number 243241, attached to a bunch of keys, which were found on the body, was identified as the number of the accident insurance policy carried by the missing cashier. Mr. Armstrong was well known in banking circles. His accounts were found to be entirely correct. He leaves a wife and four children. Mall Carrier Arrested for Robbery. The chief inspector's office in Chattanooga has been notified of the arrest of Rural Route Carrier James P. Warren. The charge is robbing the mall. Official Report of Accident on Southern at Greensboro. The official report of the accident on the Southern railway at Greensboro, N. C., Saturday morning, received at the offices of the company in Washington, states that four employees were killed, as follows: Owen Norvell, engineer train No. 34; Yard Engineer Sellers, Yard Conductor Newman, Fireman Johnson. Fireman Sparger of train 34 and William Bailey, an outsider, who was on the switch engine, were badly injured. PUT THE FLAG AWAY DISLIKE STARS AND BARS Southerners Consider Arbitrary Action Taken By Department of Potomac as Absolutely Unworthy of A Washington special says Resolutions protesting against the display of the confederate flag on public occasions were adopted at the annual encampment of the department of the Potomac, grand army of the republic, Saturday night. The resolutions, which were unanimously adopted, read: "Whereas, it is creditably reported that the flag of the late so-called Confederate States of America is being displayed in public places and on public occasions; and, "Whereas, to all defenders of the stars and stripes and all who were loyal to the union, that was, is and ever will be, the insignia of an attempt by force of arms to divide our country and destroy our government; and, "Whereas, if in this reunited land there is room for but one flag, and that one the star-spangled banner; therefore, be it "Resolved, by the department of the Potomac, grand army of the republic, That we view with regret and sorrow the public display of an emblem which tends to keep alive the bitterness and animosity engendered by the war, which it should be the aim of every good citizen to allay. "Resolved, That such a course serves to instill in the minds of the coming generations aversion, if not hostility, to our national emblem, and is not in accordance with the oft-repeated profession made by the southern people of their love for the national emblem." "Resolved, That in the interest of the peace and good will to all, which we earnestly desire to promote, we earnestly request all ex-confederate soldiers, once our gallant foes, but now our fellow citizens, and sharers with us in the pride of American valor and heroism, and all the noblespirated people of the beautiful southland, to abstain from all public display of that emblem, which tends only to keep alive feelings which ought to be burred." The publication of these resolutions Sunday morning attracted some attention among southerners in Washington, but the general feeling among confederates is that they are not worthy giving serious consideration. Southerners feel that the action of this grand army of the republic post serves to show how little the real feelings of southerners are appreciated at the north. CANE GROWERS NAME OFFICERS. President Purse of Savannah Again Heads Organization. The convention of the Interstate Cane Growers' Association, which was held in Mobile, Ala., elected the following officers. D. G. Purse of Savannah, Ga., was unanimously re-elected president, and the other officers chosen are as follows: First vice president, R. E. Rose, Tallahassee, Fla.; treasurer, J. A. Holloman, Tallahassee, Fla.; secretary, T. O. Hoffman, Mobile, Ala.; assistant secretary, John W. Jackson, Palmetto, Fla.; assistant secretary, H. B. Ellis, Scranton, Miss. Vice Presidents by states were also elected. Fire early Monday completely destroyed the car barns and power house of the Canton-Akron Traction company at Canal Dover, Ohio. Loss $100,000. with $60,000 insurance. Conflagration in Portland, Oregon, Deals Death and Destruction. At least four persons lost their lives in a fire that swept a busy commercial district in Portland, Ore., on Monday. Eleven person were seriously injured. The fire started in the Mount Hood saloon, and consumed that place and the lodging house above, in which a majority of those killed and injured were sleeping. Twenty-two horses, property of the East Side Transfer company, were destroyed. "I am in a position to assert the final solution of the Moroccan dispute will emanate from America. Ambassador White is only awaiting the right moment to submit a proposal, which, it is believed, will prove acceptable to both France and Germany. I have Mr. White's authority to state that a successful issue is confidently expected." A cable dispatch from Berlin, Germany, says: Some exchanges of suggestions between this and other governments regarding the Algeciras negotiations are proceeding, although there is really no expectation of an agreement. Both France and Germany have taken up seemingly unchangeable positions; France for a general mandate in Moroccan affairs, and Germany for a combined administration by all the interested powers. The view of the German foreign office is that, if France intended to insist on a paramount position in Morocco, why did she take part in the conference? If Germany should now agree to give over Morocco to France, the efforts of years will be fruitless and a long period of unrest in European affairs, it is believed would begin, the issue of which no one ventures to predict. It is likened in official quarters, however, to the period from 1866 to 1870 when the economic life of the principal continent countries were disturbed constantly by fears and rumors of war. The dissolution of the Algicras conference, while not in itself the cause of war talks, will certainly be succeeded by a revival of mutual distrust between France and Germany. Suspicion was aroused here by the news from Lalla Marina province of Oran, Algeria, that the Moorish pretender, Bu Hamara, is assembling the independent tribes for a foray against towns near the Algerian frontier. As the pretender is considered to be fully controlled by the French, his activity at this moment is disquieting as indicating that France has resumed her forward policy in Morocco. In court at Washington Tuesday, George W. Beavers, the former chief of the salaries and allowance division of the postoffice department, pleaded guilty to an indictment charging him with conspiracy to defraud the government in connection with the sale of time recording clocks to the postoffice department. He was immediately sentenced to two years in the penitentiary at Moundsville, W. Va., where Augustur W. Machen, and Dr. Lorenz and the two Groff brothers already are confined, the former for four years and the remainder for two years each. The indictment to which Beavers pleaded guilty was the one charging conspiracy with former State Separate George E. Green of Binghamton, Y. The six remaining indictments for four alleging conspiracy with bribery, will be dropped. Beavers sentence was pronounced, Beavers was asked if he had anything to say which he replied: "Nothing whatever." To an Associated Press reporter who visited Beavers, he made the following statement: "What I did today was done out prejudice to any of the co-defendants. I did this solely as regard to self, and not with any desire tofluence any other case." A new gavel was dedicated memory of Lincoln by Speak non in the house Monday, a birthday of the noted preside remembered in the prayer of thlain. Along New Branch Line Official announcement is made by the Louisville and Nashville that twenty stations will be established on the Knoxville-Cartersville line, south of Etowah, where the old Atlantic Knoxville and Nashville lines diverge to Blue Ridge and Marietta, and the new line goes direct to Cartersville. Five stations will be in Tennessee, and fifteen in Georgia. Station houses will be erected at the majority of the points, but some will be only two stations.

Hatchet lived about one hour and Wilder four hours. Oscar Becham, a mill hand, was blown into a ditch and covered with lumber, which protected him. Mr. Hatchet leaves a wife and four small children. Mr. Wilder leaves a wife and three small children. Hit Market at Wrong Time Columbus speculators have been hit heavy by the recent slumps in cotton. It is reported that $100,000 is not an extravagant estimate of the recent losses of "traders" in Columbus and vicinity who went into the market at the wrong time. A good many of those who lost out were farmers. It is said that more farmers in the section have been speculating in cotton futures this season than ever before. Roster Committee Report A full report of the preparation of the rolls of the confederate soldiers who enlisted from Georgia during the war between the states has been submitted by former Governor Allen D. Candler, superintendent of the Georgia soldier roster commission. The report, which is a comprehensive one, gives in detail the result of the labors of the commission, as well as outlining the future work Owing to the refusal of the secretary of war to give the commission the rolls of the confederate troops, the commission is handicapped to a considerable extent. A bill is to be introduced in congress by Georgia representatives asking permission to secure copies of the rolls in the war department. McGregor Sues Banker Witham. Hon. E. C.

The annual reports recelved from county schools in Georgia by State School Commissioner Merritt show a decided improvement in the institutions. The attendance is steadily increasing and many additional handsome school buildings have been erected. The library plan of Commissioner Merritt for the providing of schools with books is meeting with great cooperation. Reading circles have been established in the homes of parents and the commissioner has recommended a list of books which will be studied at home as well as in the schools. Pension Money Being Disbursed. The work of paying out the state pension fund has progressed more rapidly this year, perhaps, than ever before. Pension Commissioner J. W. Lindsey began paying out pensions on January 17, and within three weeks 101 out of 145 counties have been paid a total of more than $265,000. This leaves about $275,000 to be paid to the remaining forty-four counties, and this work will be completed by February 21, according to the schedule mapped out by the pension commissioner at the beginning of the year. The total pension fund for 1906 was $900,000, which is $25,000 more than has ever been appropriated before. Still with this increase in the appropriation, there will be a deficit. Boys Failed to Make Bond. Boys Failed to Make Bond. After a commitment trial before Justice Barrett at Zebulon, Jesse and Alebert Russell, the young men arrested on the charge of burning Smith Brothers' barn at Concord last December, were placed under bonds of $1,000 each to appear before superior court next April, and failing to make the bond they were remanded to fall. According to the statement of one of the witnesses, J. M. Pogue, Jesse Russell made a full confession of the crime to him a few days ago. According to the witness the two boys went to Concord together; the younger boy waited in the field while Jesse went and fired the barn after which he rejoined his brother and both stood and watched the flames. They could plainly hear the animals in their frantic efforts to escape. As soon as the alarm was spread and people began to gather they left for their home at Lifsey Springs. He stated that they went to the place once before in November to do the same job, but were deterred on account of a smallpox Treasurer of the State of Georgia. * * * P.

Merritt has been called to the fact that a number of men are going about over the state selling certain alleged reference books to the school teachers in various communities on the ground that these books have received the indorsement of the state school commissioner. Commissioner Merritt says that this is a fraud throughout. He has given his indorsement of no such work, and states that he knows nothing of it except what he has heard through correspondence with those whom the agents have sought to impose upon or whom they have already swindled. In one county, it is stated, warrants have been sworn out for the agents of this reference work, and the victims propose to make it hot for the men if they are caught. It is charged that the work is a reprint from some old plates which are practically worthless. The charges against the agents are cheating and swindling. * * * White Laborers Come South. The fact that hundreds of white laborers, many of them Europeans, are rapidly coming into the southern portion of Georgia, as well as going into the upper counties of Florida, is not generally known. It is a fact, however, that lumber and turpentine operators, brick and other manufacturers, and even planters, are rapidly taking steps to rid themselves of the unsatisfactory negro labor with which they have been contending. Recently there passed through Albany two coaches filled with white laborers, most of whom were Europeans, bound from St. Louis to Apalachicola, Fla. They are under contract to work in one of the big lumber mills at that place. A local railroad man is authority for the statement that within the last week more than 200 white laborers have passed through Albany bound for points along the line of the Central road southwest of there—in Georgia, Alabama and Florida. A number of concerns employing large numbers of laborers are investigating the question of white labor, being in correspondence with agents in the east looking to the perfecting of arrangements for displacing the no gro labor-at present employed. * * * Double Tragedy at a Party.

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.

They were at the gate, leaving for home from a party. A few words passed between Watts and the elder McDuffle, when Watts shot both through the heart, killing them instnatly. Watts fled and is now being pursued by the sheriff with bloodhounds. The McDuffles are prominently connected. Great excitement and indignation prevails. Relatives and friends of the young men have already offered a reward of $150. Before the killing Watts remarked that he was going to make a fire around a stump in the yard and Peter McDuffie told him not to do it. From that a row started, when, it is said, Watts shot the elder McDuffie first, then his brother Tom, remarking to a younger McDuffie boy. "Well, Ill clean out the whole d—McDuffie family;" but the latter dodged and escaped. Watts then ran. He was tracked to his home, but was lost sight of when leaving home. The two McDuffies that were killed were brothers of Ashley McDuffie, who shot and killed Officer Blue at Pine view some time ago, and who is now serving a 10-year sentence for same. Watts' freinds claims that he shot in self-defense. People of Sweden Demonstrate Love for Their Dead Ruler. A Copenhagen dispatch says: The coffin containing the body of King Christian was removed at 6 o'clock Tuesday morning from the palace to the Christianborg church, where it will lie in state until the interment. The crown prince and other members of the royal family, court officials, army and navy officers followed the hearse on foot through the crowd-lined streets. After a brief service at the church the royal party returned to the palace, leaving the body in charge of a guard of army and navy officers who will remain day and night stationed at the head and foot of the casket. The public will be admitted to the church at stated hours daily. Hours before the church was opened the vicinity was densely thronged with those desirous of paying their last respects to the body of the old monarch. The line from the church door was fully a mile long and constantly lengthening when the doors were opened to the public and thousands passed the bier during the subsequent two hours. The German minister during the morning placed two enormous floral tributes from Emperor William at the foot of the catafalque. WALTER S.

As they sat together one evening in the veranda of an inn at Walkliki the detective confided to Stevenson a case of extreme difficulty he had in hand, and also his theory of its solution. As Stevenson hardly seemed to attend, for he sat looking dreamily at the sea, the detective left him to have a chat with the more responsive landlord: On his return to the veranda, however, Stevenson suddenly roused himself to say, "I think I have solved that riddle of yours.

S A DETECTIVE your theory does not do at all, because it will never work out. Let me give you my theory of the case, and then tell me what you think of it." The detective did not at first think anything of Stevenson's theory of the case. It was daring even for a theory, and dangerous to work if it did not happen to come off. But on thinking it well over, with Stevenson's shining eyes fixed intently on his face, the professional began to believe there was something in it. When Stevenson at last asked, triumphantly, "Well?" he replied, "Well, sir, I shall try your theory; but if it don't win you and I will lose between us the $1,000 fee I am to be paid for a conviction." At this Stevenson laughed and said, "Sir, if it doesn't win I will pay you the $1,000 and thrown you the theory for nothing." But it won. and at the same time. The doors were cast in 1868 by James T. Ames. Chancellor MacCracken said: "This work was executed for the United States Government to form one of the panels of the Senate doors at Washington. The total cost of tho doors was over $50,000. They were cast by James T. Ames, who before the models and molds were broken up was authorized by the Government to execute for himself a single panel, which INTING THE INAUGURATION OF TO THE HALL OF FAME. ever of the six panels he might select. He chose the scene of the inauguration, which has been in the possession of his family ever since.

Lem Brown left Bingvillg for the Co. iseat, where he was drawed up to serve ‘on a jury. Lem understood that he lwould ‘sit all through serving so as he could come back home Friday night and he told his wife so. Before he left Bingville Lem made arrangements with Deacon Butterworth to feed his cow sud plgs while he was absent, and look after things around the house generally, Lem has always been a great friend of the Deacon's, being as they both belong to the Bing- ville church and eet side by sfde in the amen corner every Sunday. ‘Well, the Deacon looked after things at Lem’s place in good-shape so far as we can*learn. Between chores the Deacon would go intp Lem’s house and take off his mitts to. warm his hands. at the kitchen sfove, while _ Mary Brown, that's Lem’s Wife, would give him a doughnut, mebby, or “a tookle, if she happened to be making «my. The weather was so cold that he Deacon spent considerable-of his ime in the kitchen talking to Mary, jut nobody ever thought anything of t, being as Mary is a terrible hand- -ome-and agreeable woman, Her name yefore she was married was Mary Simpkins and she lived out the Pike ‘our miles west of Bingville, daughter of old Sam Simpkins, who fs dead and zone, lo, these many years. When Mary was a girl of 18 it was sald that shere wasn't a prettier girl_in this county than just her. She was the belle of Bingville. And since we come to think of it, this ain’t been such a long time-ago and so far as we are able ‘to see, Mary ain't changed much since. Personally, we think she is now better Iool:ing than ever. And so nobody blamed Deacon Butterworth for spending probably a leetlo mite more time in the kitchen than was necessary, although he is a married man bisself. 2 Well, Frisay night come end went ind poor Lem Brown didn’t coma, back from the Co. seat, and there wis no vord from him. When Lem didn’t arn up Friday evening, when he said > would, Mary begin to get awful stless and oneasy and when the Dea- m_come around to do the feeding e next morning she invited him into house and told him her worst irs. She sald something told her, hough she couldn’t say just what, apa awful had hapnened to . The Deacon he told hier She istn’t give way like teat because it s his opinion that Lem had been ecessarlly detained and that he in good health and spirits and 1d turn up sooner or later and ex- all. * _, took the Deacon a good while to dain this. He eat nine doughnuts alle he was dolng it. When Deacon Jutterworth come back again in the avening he walked into the kitchen to see if Lem had come back and he was errible surprised to see Mary stand- ag by the window weeping. The 2acon asked her what she was a-cry- g for and she sad for poor Lem, who ad deserted her |Ike as not.

Lem then follered him out lato the yard and wheri the Dea. cop got up Lem kicked him down again, Every tlme the Deacon would get up Lem would kick him down. At last the Deacon got tired of this and so he didn’t get up—he just layed there and so Lem he walked back into the house and demanded a Explanation ot his-wife. She throwed her arms around his necks nd told Lem that she didn’t love nobody but him and that when the Deacon put his arms around her she didn’t think no more about it than she would if her own father had of done it and so.Lem he forgive her, but he didn't forgive the Deacon, It appears that the jury which Lem was serving on wag dismissed Satur- day afternoon until’ Monday and Lem thought he would spend Sunday at home so he walked all the way from the county seat and got there just in time to see his wife in the Deacon's arms, After Lem went into the house the Deacon limped home. His wife asked him what alled him and the Deacon told her that he guessed his rheumatlz was coming’ back on him again. As soon a8 Mrs, Butterworth found out the true state of affairs, however, which she did withfn an hour, because kind “neighbors and friends went straight and told her, the way she then layed out the Deacon was some- thing awful. She scored him till a fly wouldn't ght on him. She also called Mary Brown a bussy and a min and as a result the two women are not now on speaking terms, . It will take this awful scandal a long time to blow over and we are sorry it happened. Q Subseribe for the Bugle.

The “love” spoons have gen- erally double shafts or double shafts and bowls with a common handle, n- dicating the unfon of heart and soul. Spoons at one time were regarded.as an important item In a domestic ont- fit, and to the fact that Wales was a poor country is probably due to the prevalence of the wooden spoan, The flat upper portion of the handle af- forded the best scope for artistic orna- mentation, and it was made use of to the fullest extent by the spoon cary- ers.

QUESTIONS HARD’ TO ANSWER Too Much Interested, A number of years.ago (I won't say how many, in deference to the ladles concerned) my father was practicing /medicine in New Bedford, and, vish- ing to amuse my sister and her Uttle friend at the same time, Ne invited them to drive with him while he made acall a little way out of town. On the road they passed a ceme- tery, and, thinking it would interest the children, he drove in. Gomg slowly along, he suddenly stopped and read the name on. a gravestone, and ‘told them that the patient buried there used to be a patient of his. A little farther he found the name of another former patient. The third time te stopped was rather too much for even the children, and one of them, after looking all over the graveyard, turned “to him and said: “Are these all your patients?” The next thing that attracted thelr Interest was the figure of a carved band with the index finger pointing upward. They asked what tliat meant, and my father explained to them that the friends of the person buried there wanted to show which way the depart- ed one’had gone; hence the finger polating upward. In the next Jot there was no hand, so thé question was raised as to which direction the person buried there bad gone.

Rosalisky was a glaringrexception, but when he put his hand in his pocket he discovered that He had only 35 cents. He thought of §20 that could so easily be had, and he thought of the six men behind the curtain, and he figured that five or ten minutes’ delay while ho ran around to the poolroom would not make much difference to them.

In less than a minutes he hurried out with $2 and the ticket and ran around to the poolroom and bet. In another five minutes he would be back to the pawnbrokers, redeem the trousers and resume business, and be just $20 ahead. Now, Rosalisky’s scheme was all right, but for one thing—the horsé he bet on lost. Meanwhile six men in the back of Rosalisky’s shop waited patiently for him to finish their trous- ers. A half hour passed, and one of them grew impatient and called out to Rosalisky to hurry. There was no answer. Then he put his head out one side of the curtain and discovered that not only was Rosalisky gone, but the trousers with him.

It has been truly said by one of the speakers of the mass meeting during the week that the new city hall was christened in blood and bathed in tears The tragedy of last week did it. DURING the week a white man was accused of harboring a young white girl. The girl was found in his bed room. The white fellow was arrested. The next morning he was fined $25 in police court. Suppose he was of a darker hue. The attention of the superintendent is called to the condition surrounding the Maple street school. The sidewalk on the north side of the building is not paved and whenever it rains the entrance is flooded. Through this water and at times mud, the teachers and children have to wade, matters not how cold it may be; the result of which can be readily imagined. The sidewalk should be raised and paved. If the board is not able to do the paving, the city would have sufficient dirt dumped to keep the water from settling before the main entrance at least. At the two past meetings of the city council a delegation of colored men, unknown to us, appeared, asking for aid toward the establishing of a library for the colored people. A library is one of the institutions needed badly by our people, and it should be aided in an unstinting manner by the city. Now, it is understood that the Men's Sunday Club, an organization doing much for the people, will soon secure quarters and the library feature will be the main thing. It would be well for those colormen who are thus interested to unite forces with the young men and have a library that will be a credit to the whole people and by which a greater demand could be made upon council to contribute. The need of a well organized political club among our people is apparent. Not a club with mushroom ideas or growth, but a permanent one. There are interests of our people that must be looked after and which could be done by such an institution. For instance, our men are to be educated in the regular paying of poll tax. It is now a hard matter to cause the older men to do so by paying a large amount of back tax, but such an institution can adopt methods whereby the young men, hundreds of whom become of age each year, can be reached and encouraged to become tax payers, thereby increasing our numbers to such an extent that in the coming years a demand for better treatment, etc., would be respected.

No Race inferiority. But in the arts, in literature, what can he do there? There have been white men in the South who have not scrupled to affirm that the Negro was only an animal, soulless and incapable of real progress. Perhaps they regard industrial achievement as mere "training of animals." Perhaps they look "upon his religious enthusiasm as excess of animal emotion. Perhaps they would bring the same accusation against the Negro music, the only really American music we have produced. But they can hardly pretend that Brutes could bring forth such work in literary lines as the Negro is showing himself capable of. We refer to the writing of Prof. Ducols and Paul Laurence Dunbar, Mr. Ducols' latest book of poems illustrated by Negro artists, is a gem which the writer has not seen surpassed by the work of any white poets this year. It is about time for us to wake up to the fact that is the field of literature, even in other fields, the Negro is working side by side with his white brother. There are talking about the inferior race any more than there is in-fa talking about the 'inferiority' of women. Differences is not inferiority. And even the difference has been greatly exaggerated. By the sign of the book the Negro is showing a mental capacity which places him on a level-Chicago, Advance White. "NUF-SED'S" TIMELY TOPICS. Lincoln-Douglass Exercises. Dear Mr. Editor: Well sir, the great Lincoln-Douglass exercises have come and gone and I tell you they were just fine. Everything went off so nicely—the speaking, the singing and the decorum of the audience were all that could be desired. I had my lamps well trimmed, in order to see and hear all that went on. I was simply carried away with the very excellent program which was presented. As I looked upon the platform, I saw seated there, men of culture and refinement; and women of grace and dignity. Let me tell you some of those who participated and you will understand just why the audience appreciated these exercises so immensely: There was Prof. Chas. McDowell,a graduate of Fisk University of both the collegiate and musical departments. Any person needs but to hear Prof. McDowell once to see that he is a master at the piano. There were two of the leading doctors on the platform viz: S. Palmer Lloyd, the vice-president of the Men's Sunday Club, a graduate of Atlanta University and University of Pennsylvania; J. Walter Williams who is chairman of the music committee, and a wide awake doctor in every sense of the word. He is a member and large stockholder of the West Side Drug Store. Dr. Williams led the audience in singing "America." Prayer was offered by Rev. Geo. E. Nolley, a minister of the highest integrity and one of the highest in interest in the Sunday Club. Rev Nolley is pastor of St. Paul's C. M. E. Church. The master of ceremonies was Mr E. W. Houstoun, better known to the public at large as "Mannie." Mr. Houstoun had his training at the G. S. I. C. and Atlanta University and is literary "reporter" for the Sunday Club. Miss Mamie V. Edwards who captured the audience with an instrumental (piano) solo is a very pleasant and graceful young lady. Miss Edwards is one of our school teachers and received her training at the G. S. I. C. Mr.J.S. L. K. Grant who declared Lincoln's famous "Gettysburg Speech," is a student at the G. S. I. C. We predict a bright future for this young man. Mr. H. O. Ward played a violin solo which was tremendously appreciated by the audience. Mr Ward is one of our young business men. One of the treats of the occasion, was the "Original" poem on Frederick Douglass by Mr. E. W. Sherman. Mr. Sherman has already made a name with the reading public and this late addition on "Douglass" will be greeted by the large number of readers who follow Mr. Sherman weekly. Mr I. M Jackson, a graduate of the College, a successful school teacher and mail clerk, delivered in his own clear way an oration on "Abraham Lincoln." I tell you what Mr. Jackson told a few things about "Old Abe the grand old man." The duett by Mrs. E. J. Robinson and Miss Nettie Houston completely captivated the audience. The sweet soprano voice of Miss Houston blended most harmoniously with the pure alto voice of Mrs. E. J. Robinson. It is only a pity that these two singers appear only before Savannah audiences, because they would certainly be greeted by all lovers of music. They were accompanied by Mrs C. B. Lewis who is one of those players, possessing such a fine touch, that we say she has a touch all her own. Mrs. Lewis is just "a born pianist." Prof. L. B. Thompson appeared with clearness, force, and eloquence in his oration no Frederick Douglass. Prof. Thompson certainly laid before the audience the characteristics of this great man and his long and eventful life in such a way that the audience will always remember. The last number on the program was a solo by Mr. L. D. Thompson, an old Savannah boy who has been away up North for the last eight years. Mr. Thompson is a very pleasing singer possessing a voice of great range, clearness and volume. Mr. Thompson is always welcomed by all Savannah audiences. The ushers were Messrs. H. A. Clark, H. J. Gordon and Marion Johnson. Another feature of the exercises was the refreshments prepared by the ladies. These ladies have shown their willingness to work time and time again. Among some of the ladies whom I saw were, Mesdames Hutchinson Owens, Gordon, Robinson, Talbert others. Help us to Help Others. Mr. Editor: Please allow me space in your most worthy paper as it has been quite awhile since I have asked to be heard from since the thing I would like to speak about is of a vital importance. Help us to help others. Having read a statement in an issue of the "Press" of the 18th, inst., saying that "May not bar all Negroes." "Only, undesirable class may be kept out of the Telfair." I like that statement because it touches along the line of what I have long wanted to hear because in every race their is an undesirable class that you would not like to be thrown into association, and I am proud of the statement for that because we have a class in our race that we would not associate with, but it has been said that all Negroes are alike, but the statement is not true and all the people on earth do not believe it because in that statement in the "Press" disputes it by saying "May not bar all Negroes." "Only undesirable class may be kept out of Telfair," showing that there are some respectable Negroes It also farther states that "Some measures will be taken to exclude the undesirable class of Negroes," and it goes still farther to name the class of undesirable ones. So you see that The Press' believes there are more than one class of Negroes, it goes a step farther to say that they would "arrange to allow Negroes of respectability to have access to the library." Does not that show you that "The Press" believes that there are more than one class of Negroes? And all Negroes are not alike. The thing I would like to see is this same application be made along all lines where the races are thrown together because there is a class in our own race that the respectable ones do not want to associate with. I am not saying because I want social equality but in defense of those of our race who respect themselves, because we have just as respectable men and women in our race as any other race and we would not like to be measured with that undesirable class. When I say help us to help others, I mean simply this, just what "The Press," said about allowing the respectable Negroes to be. admitted to the "Telfair" and keep out that undesirable class; if that would be in all things where the races are thrown together allow that respectable class to be admitted and keep out that undesirable class, it would soon result into a large, per cent of that undesirable class to grow better in plain words, "Put the Negro down agd he will walk." If the Negroes themselves would make a distinction among themselves, they would find things better in their own race and if the whites would show that they respected a class of Negroes above another it would help to draw that undesirable class a degree higher, then we want you to measure us according to the way we deport ourselves and stop saying that all Negroes are alike, because I know it is not so. Now you have started the ball to rolling in the right direction, and let me say that the respectable Negroes begin to draw a strong line of distinction in your own race and until we do so we will be like a big drove of black birds all alike. I don't blame the white people for some things they do to us because we make ourselves objectionable. Some of us go so untidy until it make us look like a fellow that have just come out of a mudhole and yet we want to sit among respectable people. Let us have more pride and decency about ourselves College Dots. The Y. M. C. A. social last Tuesday night was a swell affair. The Association seems to be taking on new life. President Wright spoke to the citizens of Sylvania last Saturday. Of course he had a large audience composed of both races to hear his eloquent address. Don't forget the Farmer's Conference, Feb. 21. 22 and 23. Here are a few of the speakers: Dr. Fair, Dr. Brockett, Dr. Lindsay, Supt. Ashmore Dr. Brunner, Mr. L.

At the residence of Mrs. Julia Brown, 515 Anderson street, a pretty card party was given in honour of Mrs Frances Allen Slowe, of this city but now of New York Mrs. Slow was attired in a gown of white lace with a beautiful bouquet of carnations and brilliant diamonds Mrs Anna Scott wore a gown of white voile with a beautiful sunburst diamond broach and bouquet of carnations. Mrs Belle Johnson wore a gown of white embroidery prettily made up. Miss Emily Nelson wore a gown of white silk. Mrs. Anna Jackson wore a gown of black silk. Miss Estella Robb was dressed in white organdy and Mrs Julia Brown, the hostess was attired in white laugner gown trimmed with voile face. They all made a very pretty appearance. The gentlemen were Messrs. Joseph Geary, James F Holmes, Alfred Holbrook, Paul E Perry, James Ferry, J Andrews, Jas Davis, Frank Coleman and J Rogues Rannier. The house was artistically decorated with over greens, small American flags and Japanese lanterns. There were two prizes awarded to the best players, Mrs Slowe winning the first and Mrs Scott the second. Valentine score cards were used. The prizes were a beautiful rose jar and a very pretty Japanese teapot. Afterwards a delicious menu was served to the guests. Ministers' Meeting. Ministers' Meeting. The Evangelical Ministers Union at its session last Tuesday put in some good work, Rev. E. Lowery presided. Rev. F. A. White conducted the opening service. Revs. G. E. Nolley, R. V. Branch, W. L. Cash, P. J. Hunter, and James Jackson were absent on account of business interest, though there was no lack of interest in the meeting. Mr. Yancy of College, Ga., was present and represented the Farmers' Conference that is to be held there next week. Dr. J. A. Lindsay made a telling speech on behalf of the Union and promise to give an unstinted support, in attendance and otherwise. A very important paper was read and a strong speech followed by Mr. W. D. Armstrong and the Rev. Mr. L. W. McMillan responded to the extent that the members present left, having a desire to carry out the main gist of the speeches. Sermonio reports were made by Rev. L. W. McMillan and Rev. S. J. Jenkins. The criticisms were made both timely and helpful, especially that which was made by Dr. Lindsay. At the next meeting Rev. W H White is to read a paper, subject, "If Christ's death was the fulfillment of the prophecy, how is man responsible?" The minister who fails to participate in such meetings will fail to do the service God intends Galines' Chapel In addition to the bg rally that is to be on the Second Sunday prox. Tuesday night the banner class was organized and will be distinguished hereafter by a banner attached to the seat whatever-leader having the largest number in attendance, or the most money raised. This is a good way to see who is the most active leader and the member who love the church, will sure to appreciate an active man. No. 5, Bro. Toney Porter, leader was the banner class financially and No. 2, Bro. O.S. Perry, numerically, and No. 1, Bro. A.B. Scurdy, participated. For a New Picnic. Ground.

In the heating system of the Egifing Sanatorium, in Upper Bavaria, steam is sent through pipes more than a mile and a half to the coils heating water boilers that supply heat to thirty pavilions and six administrative buildings. Steam entering the conduits at 159 degrees C. was found to have a temperature of 152 degrees on reaching the coils. A curious blackening of the faces and hands of certain persons being treated by electricity has been noticed. Investigations showed that this took place only when the patient's chair was electrically positive and the crown of the head negative, and when oil heaters were being used to warm the room. The blackening proved to be due to invisible carbon particles thrown off by the burning oil and drawn to the positive pole. A mighty engine storing up the moisture of the continent upon its summits is the report upon the Andes of C. R. Enock, a British engineer. He has inspected the chain in Peru, and finds that along its whole top, just below the ice cap, is a series of lofty lakes that feed innumerable streams. An example of these streams is the River Rimac, which, though not more than eighty miles long, descends 17,000 feet from its source in the ice. A small portion of its energy generates electric power for the railway between Lima and Callao. Children in the Home. The children of the family—one is apt to look on them as burdens, bothers and expenses. When the baby comes, be it ever so welcome, the mother has more work to do. As it grows into childhood and on to maturity it is more and more care, worry and expense. And so the little children, those innocent trespassers, are borne with as patiently as possible until they grow to a successful manhood or womanhood. Few stop to think deeply about this, or it would be plainly seen how erroneous the impression. The children of the family; instead of being burdens, are burden bearers; small saviors who are daily means of grace, and who lead the world worn parents once more into the paths of innocence and peace. A baby's tiny hand clasped around his mother's finger has stilled heart throbs of sorrow and bitter trouble; a baby's arms around his father's neck have brought to the man's weary brain a renewal of that love which is all that makes life livable.—Philadelphia Telegraph. Elopers. The custom of telling little boys and girls that they are sweethearts, etc., had a curious effect on one younster in the West End the other evening. He is eight years old and has a mind of his own. He became displeased at the conduct of his father and suddenly left the house. Some hours later the telephone bell rang in the home of the youngster's parents and this conversation ensued: "Hello! This is Dr. Blank. Your son Harry is here with Miss' Gertrude — and wants to get married. Your consent is needed. Will you give it?" "Just hold the couple there and I'll be down." A few minutes later the father was at the minister's house, and, sure enough, there was, Harry and his seven-year-old sweetheart. Asked by his parent why he wanted to get married, he said: "You don't treat me right at home, and we thought we would make a home for ourselves." The very young couple were, bribed to postpone the wedding for a few years. The bribe used was a box of candy.—Albany Journal. Means Larger Doctors' Bills. Legislation is threatened in many States for the suppression of the so-called "patent" medicines. The success of such legislation, would mean the abolition of the home medicine chest and would force persons, no matter how remote their homes from the home of a physician, or how needless the additional expense might be, to call in a physician for every minor ailment. The legislation as proposed would mean greatly increased doctors' bills and what is worse frequent long delays awaiting the arrival of a physician to prescribe the equivalent of some of the family remedies that could as well have been prescribed at home, and which would have accomplished the same result as the doctor's remedy, and at much smaller cost.

Bram Stoker, who for many years was connected with the management of the late Sir Henry Irving, tells of an amusing incident which occurred during the player's tour of the Middle West. It appears that Irving, in order to break a "long jump" from Chicago to another city, was desirous of securing for one night the theatre of a town in Indiana. Accordingly, Stoker wired the individual who was both proprietor and manager of the playhouse in question, requesting that Sir Henry be given a night's engagement. In a short waille Mr. Stoker received the following: "Does Irving parade?" When shown this, the distinguished Briton was much amused. He directed Stoker to reply that, "Irving was a tragician, not a minstrel." The further reply came, "Don't want Irving unless he parades." A BOY'S BREAKFAST There's a boy up in Hoosick Falls, N. X., who is growing into sturdy manhood on Grape-Nuts breakfasts. It might have been different with him, as his mother explains: "My eleven-year-old boy is large, well developed and active, and has been made so by his fondness for Grape-Nuts food. At five years he was a very nervous child and was subject to frequent attacks of indigestion, which used to rob him of his strength and very troublesome to deal with. He never seemed to care for anything for his breakfast until I tried Grape-Nuts, and I have never had to change from that. He makes his entire breakfast of Grape-Nuts food. It is always relished by him and he says that it satisfies him better than the ordinary kind of a meal. "Better than all he is no longer troubled with indigestion or nervousness, and has got to be a splendidly developed fellow since he bugan to use Grape-Nuts food."

MODERN GAVE DWELLERS IN ASIA MINOR CITY Natives of Cappadocia Are Still, to All Intents and Purposes. Troglodytes. WONDERFUL CONE DWELLINGS There Are at Least 60,000, Traveler, and Some Have Nine Stories. an instructive article for the illustrated London News on the cave dwellers of Cappadocia. From an American standpoint the article is interesting because of the fact that there is an organization in this country known as the Colorado Cliff Dwellings Association, whose object is to protect and preserve the historical cliff dwellings in Colorado. It is in Cappadocia, Asia Minor, Mr. Sterrett says, that the real twentieth century Troglecydes (cave dwellers) are to be found. The whole cave dwelling region of Cappadocia, he says, is of volcanic formation, composed of a deep layer of pumice stone, tufa or peperine, overlaid in some places by rugged lava fields. The pumice or tufa is of incredible thickness, but the overlaid layer of lava is comparatively thin, and so soft that it can be dug away with the thumb nail. The caves are formed in cones, extending in height from fifty to 300 feet. The tallest cones usually stand in the centre of an eroded valley. Mr. Sterrett says. Many of them are in process of disintegration, and in some the exterior walls, have been worn away to such an extent that the inner chambers are visible from the outside. Such exposed chambers, if they lie fairly toward the sun, are used for drying grapes and other fruits. Mr. Sterrett says there are easily 50,000 of these cone caves in Cappadocia. The caves were bored out with comparatively little trouble. One chamber, twenty-five feet long, thirteen feet broad and ten feet high, was excavated by a single workman in the short space of thirty days. The cave dwellers of Capadocola have gone to some pains, Mr. Sterrett says, to ornament and give an architectural and decorative effect to the caves which they make their abode. Especially have they given free play to their architectural imagination in the laying out of their churches, chapels and temples. Some elaborate effects have been produced. Mr. Sterrett gives an entertaining description of the manner in which the abodes of the cave dwellers of Cappadocia have been laid out. On entering the doorway of any of these cone dwellings, he says, the visitor finds himself within a spacious chamber, about the walls of which shelves and niches for the storage of small household effects have been cut into the stone. The stairways leading to the upper stories are like wells or rounded chimneys and the ascent from the lower to the upper stories is made by means of ladder holes cut into the rock. The doors between the stories are usually thick enough to sustain any weight that might be put upon them, but occasionally the excavators miscalculated the thickness of a stone floor, with the result that they had to cut out one ofty chamber where they had intended to make two. As many as nine stories are to be found in a single cone, Mr. Sterrett says, but the usual number is two, three or four stories. The number of stories can always be indicated by the windows. The cave dwellers utilize their windows as dove cotes for pigeons, hosts of which flock to the places provided for them. The natives eat the eggs and flesh of the birds. Mr. Sterrett contributes this comment on the habits of life of these modern cave dwellers: "The natives of this region are still, to all intents and purposes, Troglodytes, but if we leave out of consideration the fact that their dwellings are at least partially under ground, they differ in habits and customs in no whit from the ordinary Turkish villas with ordinary humdum surroundings." Mr. Sterrett close this description. Mr. Stcrrett gives this description of some of the modern cave dwellings: "Sometimes the front of the house is built of blocks of pumice stone, while all the rest of the abode is subterranean, the cone of cliff being used as an annex, but in most cases a modern dwelling is excavated, not in a cone, but in the face of the bluff, and thus becomes a cliff dwelling, properly so called. This is true of the business street of the town of Urgub, where the front or facade opening on the street is the only room in the dwelling into which the light comes. The other rooms are in midnight darkness all the year round. The owner of such an abode can extend his dwelling, indefinitely into the bowels of the earth, and no one need know aught of his enlarged residence, a feature which is not without its advantages in a land where the wise man conceals the fact that he is wealthy. The interior chambers are used chiefly for granaries and storage. Even their chaff, which is made to take the place of our hay, is safely stowed away in these dry and dark chambers. In passing along the main street of Urgub the superficial observer will not detect the slightest indication that he is in the presence of Troglodyte dwellings, though he may quickly convince himself that such is the fact. The upland or plateau level of this region abounds in hummocks. hills and lofty pinnacles and they are all used in the background against which modern dwellings are built. It may even happen, as in the case of the palace or castle of Udj, that the house of the owner of a vineyard is actually beneath the vineyard itself." The soil of the Troglodyte region is fertile and produces in abundance vegetables and fruit. Apricots of superb quality are grown there. Mr. Sterrett says it has been asserted by one of the old travelers that the Troglodyte region is the original home of the apricot, "Garden and desert," says Mr. Sterrett, "are often close neighbors, for the reason that the garden flourishes wherever the stone has rotted sufficiently, whereas the adjacent, but naked and unrotted stone is the most barren of deserts." Many of the cones inhabited by the Trogiodytes, Mr. Sterrett says, are mere shells honeycombed with chambers. There is one ancient castle that is filled from the base to the plumacle with chambers. Mr. Sterrett contributes an interesting word or two about the places of worship of the modern cave dwellers of Cappadocha. In the chapels, he says, are still many paintings of Greek saints named in the inscriptions. In the floors of some of the chapels graves are cut and in some of them human skeletons still may be seen. In fact, graves have been found frequently in the dwellings, and there are evidences that the cave dwellers lived in the same rooms with their pigeons and their dead. The date *r* of the origin of the cave dwellings of Cappadocia is in doubt. They are ancient enough for Cicero to have made mention of them, and it has been ass-rted that the cone arches of Cappadocia were inhabited as early as 1000 B. C.-Brooklyn Eagle. Highest Railroad Bridge A notable engineering work is now being executed in France, and involves the construction of a vaduct crossing the Shoule Valley near Vauriat. This structure, known as the Fades Viaduct, when completed will be the highest railway bridge in the world, the level of the rails being 344 feet 7 inches above the bed of the stream. There are two granite masonry tower piers that are founded on solid rock and rise to a height of 303 feet. These piers, standing alone, have the appearance of large chimneys, but, says Harper's Weekly, their function is to support the three steel spans which have the unusual lengths of 472 feet 5 inches for the centre span and 378 feet for each of the flanking spans. The latter connect with masonry approach spans formed by circular arches. This bridge differs from other structures in the use of masonry instead of steel for the centre towers, and the use of lattice girder deck spans instead of the arch construction of either masonry or steel, a favorite method of crossing such a valley. Ought to Have Known the Rules. Marshall P. Wilder says that the small son of a friend in Brooklyn came home one day with a badly disfigured face. The "old man" took him aside for the usual heart-to-heart talk. "What have you been up to now?" asked he. "Fightin'," answered the lad sullenly. "And after all I've said to you about fighting." "He smashed me on the cheek." "How often have I told you that the Good Book bids us turn the other cheek?" "I did, dad—honest; but he smashed me on the nose. I call that a foul; so pitched in and licked the stuff'in of him. Dad, he's been to Sunday-school just as much as I have, and he ought to have known the rules!"—Philadelphia Record. In the grammar department of one of our public schools the teacher, after talking with her class on the subject of mythology, read to them as follows: "Vulcan, smith, architect and charlot builder for the gods of Mt. Olympus, built their houses, constructed their furniture"; etc. The following day the subject of the preceding day was given as a language lesson, and, as no mention was made of Vulcan, the teacher asked the class who built the houses for the gods of Mt. Olympus. For a while the children seemed to be lost in deep thought, when suddenly a gleam of intelligence illuminated the face of one little girl, and she replied: "I can't think of his first name, but his name is Smith."—M magazine of Fun. Is a Tooth Property? It is well known that a corpse is not property, but what about an extracted tooth? So far as we know the point has not arisen in the courts of this country. At Gera, in G'many, however, it has just been decided that the tooth still belongs to the man after it has left his jaw. The dentist contended that a tooth evicted from occupancy with the full consent of its landlord became ownerless and derelict, and as the particular tooth in question was curiously shaped he proposed to keep it. But the patient also wished to have it. And the patient won.-Pall Mall Gazette. The Unkindest Cat.

MORSE Subject: Evangeltzation. PASIOE, IRE RET. 22. He G SSCree, pregshed a foreign mission sermon, the subject being “Evangelization.” ‘The -fext' was from Joshua xili:l: “There remaineth yet very much land to be Poseessed.” “Mr, Morse sald: There is an anclent Israel, and there _is.a modern Israel. The task before ‘the former was the establishment of the Kingdom of God in the land of Promise. And the task before the lat. ter is the establishment of the kingdom of God in all the world. ‘The work be- fore these ancient peonle was prepara. tory and temporal, The work before the church is final. What remains be- Yont the work appointed to us is yet idden behind the hills of eternity. ‘The supreme thing, then, Is the evan- relization of the world.

It will do us good to lift our eres from our own immediate fleld. and loot at the world which fg the field of God: and to leave our own little beaten track, and to swinz out into the circle where sweep His mighty’plans, Cen- turies have elapsed since our work was announced, and herenlean tasks have been performed. Mountsing of preju- dice have been leveled: rivers of blood have been forded; fires of persecution have been endured, and whole king- doms have heen taken. “But there re. maineth yet inuch land to Le pos- sessed.” I want to speak to you then up “The Authority for Foreign Mis- sions, and Thelr Aims and Insplra- ton” In a single word, the authority for Christian missions must be found, not in the truths we hold, but in the Per- son whom We love. This may be seen In the very etymology of the word, for authority is something added—added to the abstract truth or duty. There is no anthority apart from a person. ‘When an attorney 1s asked his author- Ity, be cites the decisions of a judge; and when a scholar is asked bis au- ‘thority, he does not exploit his opin- fons, but he names hts author. ‘The ‘same principle holds in religion. And the ultimate authority must be a per- son, and that person must be the high- est. and moreorer he must be known. It is easy to see. therefore, that_au- thority is ruled fsom the so-called re- ligion of pantheism. for it posits no Rersonal being. It rules authority also from rationalism, for reason, {atitble ahd dependent, cannot'be the bizhest. And it takes authority from agnosti- cism, for that- declares that God cannot be known. But I sball not pursue this subject into the mazes of philosophy. r simply Jay this down as an opening thonght that the authority for Chris~ tian missions {s found in Christ be- canse He Is a person, and because He is the hizhest person, and because He can be known. It is in view of-this that He can say, “AN authority is given unto Me in heaven and on earth, Go ye, therefore, and teach all na- Hons,” . | Authority belongs to Christ because He is the eternal word, and {s alo the only God with whom we bare to do, I know there are secondary sources of authority to which we must give ohe- dlance, such as to parents and teachers and to the laws of the State. But back of all these and over them alt is the personal Christ, and He alone has a right to tell me what are truth and duty. And authority belongs to Him becanse He has undertaken to dispel the darkness of the world by 2 special revelation of the lore of God. He has joined Hithself to humanity to save it. And it is this revelation of God that 1s added to all the truth we hold that f mstitutes the authority for misstons. Gssions are the propaganda of Jesus, ind His method of reconclling'an apos- «ate humanity. And even if He had not uttered His great commission, still world-wide missions would have their claims, for they are but the answer to the call from the ends-of the earth; for hnraanity sundered from God feels its destitution and misery. The Whole world groans in its hunger. You can bear it in the pldintive song of the bird, and the sighing of every breeze. And after all a world-wide mission is only an answer to 2 world-wide need. ‘The authority for missions is “God manifest in the flesh.” But what! flesh? The flesh of the Anglo-Saxon. We are a wonderful people. Let us freely admit that we are the most virile race upon the earth; that our in- stitutions are the best; that we possess the bulk of the world’s culture and re- finement; that we are the subjects of the best government; and are the most ingenious and inventive and wealthy. But how came we to have this premler position? We are only the great-grand- ebildren of heathen and barbarous fathers. We owe our superiority to the remaining heathen nations to the fact that the Gospel was first preached to us. Wonderful we are. But we are not the sum total of the race of men. “Who do men say that I the Son of Man am?" The son of what man? Of Abraham? Of the Angio- Saxon? Of the man of India? Or of Africa? Or the man of the islands of. the sea? ‘Tle manhood ‘of humanity was in the flesh of Jesus, and I fall hank mnan the Snmantie af Cherie? ae these new Ilves would demand new social combinations, They knew that no human tyranny ‘could exist where Jesus Christ was King. ‘We must not confuse the immediate alm with the secondary aim, nor with the ultimate result of missions.

But that $e" not tite immediate alm. The immediate alm is not social nor civilizing, but relig- fous. And I had rather, as 3r. Speer says, “Plant one ‘seed of the life of Christ under the crust of heathen life than cover that fivhole ernst over with the veneer of our social habits, or the vesture of Western civilization." We are trustees, but not primarily of better social customs, but of a life which will shane its own civilization. ‘The alm of missions {s .evangeliza- tion, and that fs, the publishing in.atl the world of God’s glad tidings. The aim fs to make Christ known in all the world. I state it thus, for though It does not shift our responsibility, it does lighten our burden. It does not Temove the obligation to hasten with the proclamation of Christ, but it does relleve us of the impossible burden of converting the world, We cannot con ‘vert a single soul: how shall we con- ‘vert the world? But we can present ‘the Gospel in such a way to every son] fn all the world that the responsi- bility for what is done with it shalt rest no longer upon the church nor upon any person in the church, but upon the man himself. We can so pre- rent the message of evangelization that we can filng the responsibility for the world’s conversion back upon God Himself, for He alone can renew a bnman heart. I do not preach upon missions be- cause I want to challenge your sympa- thies for the philanthropic results which they achieve. My object is larger than that. I want your aid in making Jesus known. I know these other things will follow. I believe that God is King, and that the hand that shaped the world at first is in all the forces that to-day are shaping life. He holds the reins of politics and com- merce and clvilizition. It was John Newton who sald, he read the New Testament to see how God Idved the world, but he read the newspapers to see how He governed it. And I am convinced that all our everyday affairs do run into the great goals of God. And these things, our governments and enstoms and inventions, are but as the chat before the wind as compared with the supreme purpose that God. who fs King, shall reign as King, and rule as Lord of Lords. We are getting to understand the problem, and these Inst years are wit- nessing wonderful movements. The annual accessions to the churches in the foreign fields far outnumber those of the churches at home. And in many instances their offerings to this creat work go far before our own. More work 4s being assigned to the native churches, and greater responsibilities laid on them., Modern missions are young, but we can almost see the day when mission boards will not need to send ;to foreign fields great sums of moner, nor large numbers of preachers, For the native churches are prolific in preachers of their own who can find the hearts of their people much better than we can. And Already the day if comé when our largest attention is given to the teaching and education of the preachers, and to the general 2d- ministration of the work. That is the meaning of this call for endowment for the great Christian colleges and sem- inaties which are crowing up in those far off lands. Paul said he was a “prisoner of Jesus Christ." That is the essence of the missionary life. The Lord’s pris- oner—not the prisoner of Rome, though be lay in a Roman prison, and was scourged of Caesar, He said he was an “ambassador in bonds.” He didn’t look ike that. His old rusty chain rattled on his wrists, and clanked in his empty cell. But he sald I am con- ducting an embassy in chains. Oh, what limitations the missionaries hare endured! Sickness and suffering and Infirmity and separation from wife and children. And what are they doing? Conducting an embassy for heaven in chains and in a limitation which God permits. ‘They do not coniplain, they feel thelr freedom, and are thé hap- plest men in all the earth. I have seen them, battered and worn, return to the churches at home.* But I never ap- plaud them as some do when they speak at national meetings. We who remain at home are not worthy to un- joose the latchets of their shoes, The story of modern missions reads ike a romance, Qne bundred years go it was a forlorn cause. Then the joors of the nations were locked, and he church itself was either unmiission- ry or anti-missfonary. Now the sky s ablaze with Nght and there is no self-respecting church in all the land hat will tolerate a man in its pulpit who does not publish foreign missions. and alt over the world are to be seen Christian Experience, Henry Ward Beecher once sald: “Shallow waters are easily muddied. After a night of storm the waters of the bay, along the beach, are foul and black with the mire and dirt. But look beyond, out into the deep water, how blue and clear it fs! ‘The white caps on the surface show the violence of the wind, but the water is too deep for the storms that sweep its surface to stir up the earth at the bottom. So is Christian experience. A shallow ex; perience is ensily disturbed; the merest trifles becloud and darken the soul whose piety: is superficial; while the most furious storm of life ‘falls to dgrken or disturb the soul which bas attsined a deep experience of the things of God.’ . aTopermeseacly cured, No ne eT nesaatter frst day's uss of Dr. Ellne's Groat Nerve Restorer, ¢2trial bottle andtreatisatres ‘Ds.

The Union forces under Meade occupied the country across the rlyer. General Merritt was then a cavalry commander, and the cavalry were always busy making reconnaissances, although the severity of the weather had suspended other operations. General Merritt tells this story: One morning in February my division of cavalry started with instructions to discover the extent of the enemy's force on the Rapidan without bringing on a general engagement. In due time we found ourselves face to face with the enemy, and the river between. A lively skirmish with small arms began, but the result was insignificant. The enemy declined to show force beyond what was necessary to engage our skirmish line. The breastworks were long and formidable, but whether they were occupied by few or many soldiers our most ingenious plans failed to discover. It was finally decided that the only way to make the enemy show his force was to try to cross the ford in our front. If this succeeded, the enemy was to be driven out of his works, if possible; if not, he would drive us back across the ford, probably with severe loss to our troops. Reluctantly, under these conditions, the division was organized for the work. Leading the advance guard, which consisted of a squadron of cavalry, was Captain Ash. His instructions contemplated that only his advance guard should cross. It was hoped that this maneuver would draw the enemy from behind his breastworks and cause him to display his force. Ash advanced with his squadron amid the stillness of death. The skirmish firing was hushed, and the silence which prevailed showed that the enemy was intent on keeping us in ignorance of their numbers and determined to make us pay heavily for information. The anxiety was intense. We knew that when the enemy opened fire at short range our loss would be great, and that the advance guard must be the first and greatest sufferers. Ash, with his small command, moved on. The works in front, gloomy, silent, denuded, seemed deserted. The men started to cross the ford, and Ash pushed on ahead. He gained a point of vantage where, because of a turn in the river, he could see the interior of the breastworks. Just then the Confederates opened fire with a withering volley. Suddenly Ash commanded his squadron to retreat, while he, bending forward on his horse's neck, rode at a rapid gallop along the river bank parallel to the breastworks, followed, as he came opposite each new part of the works, by volley after volley. There seemed no hope for him, and we waited in intense anxiety. On he kept, in spite of the storm of lead. Then, as he reached a point where his view of the Confederate lines was still more extended, he raised his hat and waved it over his head. It was a signal of triumph. To our amazement, the Confederates moved by admiration, ceased dring. Instead, they mounted on the breastworks as thick as they could stand, and throwing their hats into the air, cheered him again and again. Ash reined up his horse, and turning toward the Confederates, raised his hat in a graceful salute. Then he rode leisurely into our own lines, amid the cheers of both sides. He had accomplished the work without the loss of a man, and had for himself seen, and displayed to every one else, a full force of Infantry occupying the Confederate works. Captain Ash said afterward that he had not thought of the scheme of drawing out the enemy's force until he had reached the brink of the river and saw the great number who occupied the works. To go on meant certain death to many of his command; to retreat in the direct line of fire was equally disastrous; and the inspiration to do what he did suddenly seized him. I need not say that as we cheered the bold rider our hearts went out to the generous foe who appreciated and chivalrously acknowledged a gallant act. --- OUTWITTING THE PRUSSIANS. The little village of Josnes is situated on the route covered by the Prussians in the Franco-Prussian War of 1871. The peasants of the neighborhood never weary of relating their experiences with the soldiers from over the border. The Prussian soldiers had a little way of carrying off with them any good horses they came across. Monsieur Lemaire owned the finest horse in the village, and was determined not to give the animal up if he could help it. A company of soldiers passed through the town, picking up several horses as they went, much to the chagrin of their owners. After the raid was over the neighbors were surprised to learn that Monsieur Lemaire's horse had not been among those seized. The quick-witted Frenchman had fed a piece of twine about the horse's blind leg, almost stopping the flow of blood. The leg swelled, and the animal became so lame that the officers who saw him in the pasture did not even make an attempt to take him. After the passing of the soldiery, the string was removed and the member carefully bandaged. In a week the horse was as well as ever. At various times the peasants were compelled to quarter the soldiers. Not only were they forced to supply food and lodging, but anything of value in the house was pretty likely to be setized by the unwelcome visitors. The pride of one little home was a clock that had been owned by the family for nearly a century. When it was learned that the soldiers were coming, at the suggestion of the mater familias the clock was taken to pieces and the parts hidden in different places about the house. The soldiers arrived. After they had been there a couple of days the peasant returned from his work at night to find the clock standing on the shelf, ticking away as usual. One of the Prussians, being of a mechanical turn, had discovered the ruse. He had accordingly hunted up all the pieces of the clock and put them together. The soldiers were ordered elsewhere a day or two later, but the clock was left behind. All through that section of the country, known as the "granary of France", there are windmills. Unlike the mills of Holland, or the very modern windmills of our own farms, which turn as the wind shifts, the huge fans of the French mills are turned about by a hand-lever. During the war these mills did good service in indicating to the French officers the whereabouts of the Prussian army. The fans of the mills were arranged so that they faced the spot where the forces of the enemy were the thickest, the mills thus serving as signals that could be seen a long distance away. The Prussians never learned the trick, which was employed all through the war. SAVED BY A WHISTLE. The pure white color of the mountain sheep of Alaska makes him very conspicuous except when he is lying on a snow patch, and in the clear air of the Alaskan mountains one can see sheep for a long distance. Colonel Cane, in "Summer and Fall in Western Alaska," tells of following a band of these mountain sheep over a desolate stretch of country, only to lose a shot at them through the approach of another enemy. We had just arrived at the canon and were still out of sight, when we saw the five big fellows leisurely crossing by a narrow sheep trail some distance below us. They did not go far, but lay down on the opposite slope on a spot from whichever we were full in sight, but where they could be easily got at once we could get into the ravine among the broken ground. To do this, however, required very careful crawling in full view, over absolutely broken ground, consisting of a steep slope of shale; and the only way to reach a practicable path into the canon was by descending until we were in full view of all the rest of the sheep, which were lying about in groups on a flat plateau. We had very nearly got to a position of safety, and were lying perfectly motionless, looking at the sheep below us through the glass, and also watching the anties of several large gray marmots which were feeding about among them, when a catastrophe occurred. The marmots all of a sudden began, each and all, to whistle for all they were worth, and to bolt frantically for their holes. In a second every sheep was on its legs, and our five patriarchs, after standing a moment in indecision, bolted as hard as they could go, and in less time than it takes to write it not a sheep was in sight. I felt quite certain that we were not the cause of this stampede; indeed, the sheep seemed quite unsuspicious until disturbed by the marmots, and I could not make it out at all until I chanced to look upward, when I saw two fine golden eagles sailing overhead, evidently beating for game. This must have frightened the marmots, and perhaps the ewes also had fears for the safety of their lambs. A MOTHER'S TERRIBLE PLIGHT. A polignant story of a mother's terrible experience was told at an inquest held at Hilgay, a village near Downham Market, Norfolk. A boy of two, named Arthur Leonard Knighthall, was found by his mother to have fallen into a ditch. She jumped to his rescue and lifted the little lad out of the water, but became herself so firmly embedded in the mud, which was up to her knees, that she was unable to climb out of the ditch. All her struggles to move proved useless, and her screams for help were not heard. While thus a prisoner her boy died in her arms, and she cried over his body for an hour and a half before her husband and a fellow-workman, returning home, rescued her, exhausted by her burden and almost falting with grief. The jury at the inquest complimented the mother, and expressed sympathy with the parents. London Mall. A PHILIPPINE HEROINE. Not many years ago the Philippines produced a lady fighter of rare courage in Josephine Bracken, whose lover, Jose Rizal, had been brutally shot by the Spaniards on the very eve of his marriage to her. From the moment that Jose fell riddled by the bullets of a picket of the Tenth Spanish Infantry Regiment his dancee dedicated her life to revenge.
