The American gunboat, El Cano, at Nankin, has been ordered to-proceed immediately to Klu Kling, where she will probably arrive by Wednesday. ‘The scene,of the trouble is about 400 miles up the Yangtse river. Mr. Roberts later cabled that the inland British issions are reported safe, It fs alleged that aftor long con- ‘Unued disputes between the Catholtc priests and the Chinese magistrate of Nanchang the priests invited the mag- istrate to a banquet, where they tried to compel him to sign an agreement ‘tor ‘the payment of a large indem- nity for the destruction of the Cath- elie missfon property. According to one report, the magistrate became im dignant and committed suicide, but the Chinese assert that a priest at- tacked and killed him. The officlats, fearing to arrest the priest, called a public meeting, whereupon the Cath- oles, according to. the Chinese ver- “sion of the trouble, set fire to thelr own promises. ‘The public meeting of the Chinese developed into a riot in which, ac- cerding to one story, six of the Cath- colles were killed, though a later ao- count says the number of Catholics ‘Isilled was four. H.C. Kingman, a Protestant mis sionary, and his wife, also, were killed and of their two children was wound- ed, the other being rescued. The only Protestant mission bulldings de- stroyed were those of the Plymouth Brethrer. | Fourteen Americans escaped in a Boat. A Pekin dispatch says: According to a Chineso official occupying a high station, the finding of dynamite in the street outside the gate leading to the royal palace on Friday, February 28, followed by the receipt of a warn, ing against’ revolutionist students at- riving in Pekin has precipitated 2 Panic’ in the palace. “The reception of many newly ap- Pointed officials scheduled for Satur day was hurriedly countormanded lest there be revolutlonists among them. ‘Military. precautions were taken, and cwhenever the dowager empross has walked in the grounds of the Forbid- den City since Friday sha has been escorted by a guard of eight soldiers carrying rifles, = = The ofcials in Washington accept Consyl General Rodgers’ suggestion that te trouble at Nanchang 1s 1o- cal, as has been the case with tho last two preceding attacks on foreign missionaries in China, Therefore, there is llttle apprehension that the trouble wilt spread. However, it Is realized that the Incident Itself ay- pears to justify such operations 25 are ow ‘under way from a military point of view. The réport that English subjects have been killed is the most serious phase of the affair, for it is sald that this fact may be made the basis of forelble measures on the port of the British government that might’ en- flame the entire Chinese populetion.

White, former am- bassador to Germany and vice pres- fdent of Cornell university, addressed the studonts there on “High Crime in the United States.” He sald, among other things: “Tho number of homicides that, are punished by lynching exceeds those punnished by due process of law. when we consider that out of every forty-six homicides committed in the ‘United States, only one in forty-five ts legally punished, it is no wonder that peoplo look somewhere else for the solution, “There 1s nothing more nonsensi- cal or ridiculous than the goody-goody talk about lynching. Buch may be said in favor of the quotation of the famous Englisiman Goldwin Smith, ‘there are some communities in the ‘United States where lynch law is bet- ter than any other.” I have no sym- pathy for the criminal. My sympathy Is for thosq who will be murdered, for thelr families and their children.” LAMP EXPLOSION IN JAIL Causes Fatal Burning of Two Men and Injury of Others.

SWORE TO A FALSEHOOD Jovtin Now Confesses That He Serve ed ‘Term In the Penitentlary—A Brlef History of Most Re- markable Murder Case. * . ae Joseph Jordan, one of the Texas witnesses wlio has given testimony in,tho hearing at New York for a uew trial for Albert T. Patrick, con- victed murderer, has confessed that he committed perjury on the witness stand, according to an announcement made by District Attorney Jeromo on Tuesday. The announcement was | made to Recorder Goff when the hear- ‘ing was resumed. Jordan was arrested Monday night on the perjury charge. The district attorney told Recorder Goff that Jor- dan sent for him and voluntarily made a confession in the presence of him- self and Assistant District Attorney Garvan, The particular point on which the perjuty charge was made was Jordan's denial on the stand that -he had served a term of imprison ment at Huntsville, Texas, In his confession the district attorney sald Jordan admitted that he did serve a term at Huntsville. Ex-Jndge Olcott, who appears in Patrick’s behalf, at tho hearing, sald that he regretted the circumstances, Jordan was then called to the stand by the district attorney and repeated his confession about bis prison rec- ord. On cross-examinatlon Jordan sald he Med when asked about his prison record because he was ashamed to acknowledge the disgrace. He has lived a right life for twenty-five years, he sald. No one could bring anything else against him, he added, except arrests for drinking. That was his worst misfortune, All the other things he had testified on the stana he declared wére true. After giving his testimony Jor- dan was taken back to the tombs. Later Jordan was Indicted for pen jury. He was arraigned and after pleading guilty was remanded for ‘xntence. : D After Jordan left the stand at the Patrick hearing Thomas T. McNer- ney, another witness from Texas, was called by Mr. Jerome, McNerney sald that a year ago he heard Jonos tell Jordan that he got out of the Patrick case and was going to stay out of It. Jones sald on that occasfon that Pat- tick had nothing to do with Rice's death, but that he (Jones) was hounded, arassed and bullyragged, threatened with {mprisonmont and the electric chair by the officers in Now York and’ had to put the blame oa Patrick to say himself.

TO CUT REPRESENTATION Of South Jn Congress ia Purport of BIL Introduced In House by Rep- resentative Kelfer. A Washington special says: Repro sentative Kelfer of Ohio introduced a DI!

It is probable this bill will be followed by the in- troduction of a resolution calling for investigation into the educational anc‘ grandfather clause disfranchisemeiit Provisions of those states where they have been adopted, because republl- can leaders believe those most vul- nerable to attack. Representative Crumpacker, who has made a study a ihe élection laws’ of the southern stateb, holds that Geor- sia, Texas and Tennessee have noth- ing in thelr constitutions or thelr laws that make them vulnerable to attacks, but he and other republican leaders seem convinced that 4 test of the edu- cational quatification laws with thelr grandfather clause attachments open- ly discriminating against the negro, would result in thelr being declared unconstitutional. Kelfer proposes to press his movement for an investiga- tion looking to a reduction of the representation of the southern states in congress, and in tho electoral col- lege. He has been active in working up organisations In different parts of the north, and there are evidences of a syetematle movement toward reduo- ing the representation of the south. The present strife inside the republl- can party 1s regarded by the wisest political leaders of thab party as au- guring badly for republican success this fall and in 1903, and this move- ment to strike a blow at the south and the democratle party 1s likely to have much more vitality than has been in evidence at any time in re cent years.

Yerkes, together with the true story of the sensatlonal wedding Jess than month after tho traction magnate's death, has been disclosed for the first time by a person who was present at the marriage ceremony. The revela- tions are amazing, For fourtoen months prior to his nuptials, it appears, young Mizner had teen a constant visitor to the Yerkes mansion, remaining each day from Yuncheon until almost midnight. From the moment following his presentation ‘to Mrs. Yerkes, just after his arrival from Californta, by “Ned” Greenway, of San Francisco, he cultivated tho friendship of the woman assiduously. He proposed within a week after the death of her husband and asked her to be wedded then and there. She was startled by the proposition,’ and although he iad won hor heart by his kindness and attention in her houf ot trouble, she positively declined to dety the conventionallties of society to that extent. Day after day thence forth, it 1s sald, he importuned her. She showed no sign of yielding. He became fearful that sho would slip from his grasp, so, after about one month had elapsed, he determined to risk all in a final attempt. ‘Rushing into the house one after noon in an excited manner, he threat- ened, it {3 sald, that he would not leave the mansion until sho becamo his bride. ‘ “But I'am not ready to marry you,” answered the widow. “I haven't any- thing to be married in,” “Wear that dress you wore the night I first met you,” replied Miz- rer, ‘The unsuspecting widow, never for & moment dreaming that the‘young man was anything but noble and sin- cere, yielded. Mizner dashed from the house in search of a clergyman and witnesses. Within three hours all was in readiness for the ceremony, and the young Lochinvar had taken to wife, and had sworn to love, honor | and cherigh till death the widow of the traction king, By those who had advised him to marry the heiress, {t had been con- templated that young Mizner would seck control of the Yerkes estate by acting as the representative of hts wife. It had been discovered by his friends, it is sald, that the Yerkes estate was not a ten million dollar or a fifteen million dollar estate, as est!- mated by the lawyars, but that {ts ac- tual yalue was nearer seventy mil lions. With Mfsner practically the ex- ecutor under the will, It is believed that the missing $50,000,000 or $60, 000,000 could be found and that in the saving of if all would benefit mate- j rially. { ‘Leaping from bed one afternoon, be | determined to bring matters to a cll- max then and there. Entering his wife's room, it {s alleged, he demand: | ed a settlemont of a million dollars. | The bride refused, hig demand. -He flew into a towering passion, and, It is safd, made all coris of threats. The mald, it is alleged, intervened, and she in turn was threatened. \ The -scene became fearful. The bride convincéd at last that the man who had told her repeatedly he want: | od her and did not care a rap for her money, was a fortune hunter, ordered him from the house. Roalizing that he had played his last trump, ho left, speaking gruffly to the servants as he swong through the front doors out into Fifth avenue and on,to the Penn- sylvania station, where he took a rain for Washington. | FATALITIES OF MOUNTAIN ms P Old Trouble Breaks Out Afresh and! 6. t Three Men Will Die. ‘The Iohnson-Motley feud in Can- -Inon county, Tennessee, broke out} 2 . | afresh Saturday night and as a result in .|the following are fatally wounded : ! rep {Sam Blatr, shot four times in the 1 stomach; Bob Motley; shot twice in|”, « "| groin; Rickard Johneon; throat cut, | 1} Tho trouble between the Motleys) “ .| and tho Johnsons, two large familles | W2 J of the Pea Ridge nelghborhood near | aut ,| the Dekalb county line, originated ten} years ago over the operation of an { Salc | Mlicit distillery, when blood was shed, | the and has broken out frequently since. ; f° DAGOES MOB VANDERBILT Millionaire American Ran Over Boy While Speeding Auto In Hatlan ~ ‘Town and Is Attacked Flercely. ‘A dispatch ‘from Florence, Italy, says: W. K. Vanderbilt is detained at Poflnt Edera, on the road to Pisa, having had an automobile 2ccident tn the street by which a boy was injured. The boy was not serlously hurt. ‘The incident Involved the de tention both of Mr, and Mrs. W. K.

Vanderbiit and the chauffeur wero arrested and taken to the police station. Mrs, Van~ derbilt was escorted to a hotel. In the midst of the excitement it was reported that thg child was deal and the townspeople became so en- raged that they attacked the chaut- feur. In fact, matters reached a very crit- ical stage, and Mr, Vanderbilt, be- Meving that the lives of the party were in danger, drew a revolver. Before he could use the weapon, however, several m¢A jumped Into the automobile, disarmed Mr. Vander- Bilt and Kicked and cuted Bim. =, Eventually an officer of gendarmes with reinforcements arrived on the scene and after the townspeople had somewhat calmed down, succeeded in rescuing the autoists, who wero taken to the police station, followed by a crowd of shouting people. The leaders protested vigorously against the alleged carelessness of the automobllists, and said that it was time to put a stop to such tncl- dents, involving the loss of life, which were constantly increasinug in num- bers, BODY OF RAPIST CREMATED. One Negro Burned and Another Doom ed to Gallows In Louisiana. A mob of 500 men shot to death Wiltz Page, a negro, aged 30 years, and afterwards burned the body near the town of Bienville, in Bienville Farish, Louisiana, Saturday afternoon, ‘The negro was captured during Fri- day night, suspected of being the ono who attempted a criminal assault on Sarah ‘Gant, the I-yearold schoo? git}, Friday afternoon, , Page was Identified by the girl, and when a deputy sheriff started to jall with him, a mob overpowered the off- cer and took the negro. Hs was takon to tho scene of-his crime, where he made a full confession, The mob then stood him up against a tree and shot him to death, riddling bis body with bullets. More than 609 shots were fired. After tho shooting, a firo was kindled around the bedy of the negro, aad the mob remained until it had been cremated. A military company ordered by Gov- ernor Blanchard from Homer, La,, reached the ecene of the lynching, When they arrived, the mob had dis-, ‘persed, and quict was restored, Charles Coleman, the negro charged with having assaulted and murdered Miss Margaret Lear, was convictes in court at Shreveport Saturday; after a trial lasting three hours.

The evidence jntroduced was conclu- sive, and a verdict was returned three minutes after the case was given to the jury, and Judge T. J. Bell, who presided, immediately passod the death sentence: on the negro. Four military companies were on guard about the court house during tho trial, and every person who at- tended was searched as he approach- ed the building. There was no dem- onstration, and, while feeling Is stilt intense, it fs believed the law will be* allowed to take its course.

And so with the next one. Then the headless bodies began a ghastly dance upon the place of their execution until the muscles stiffened and they became stark. The Chinese will not eat a fowl which has been need for the purposes of this oath, but a grinning Indian watchman took pos- session of the bodies—heads and all —and no doubt reveled in unwonted abundance of curried fowl that night. “It was rather interesting to notice the haste with which the parties who had taken the oath cleared aff after- ward. If, as the Chinese believe, the gods are yery touchy upon the sa- eredhess of the ceremonial and quick to punish its infractors, the men seemed determined not to run -eny- chance of summary yisitation on the spot.” In the Straits Times of Singapore appears a description of the way Chi namen took an, oath before giving tes timony in, a Jaysult, “At 2 o'clock,” ft says, “all the parties were on-the ground behind the courthouse with x “large company of spectators in attend- ‘ance, It had lain with the plaintiff to provide the fowls and he certainly had not followed the old seriptural behest that the sacrificial lamb should ‘pe the sweetest of the flock or the “dove the whitest and plumpest in the brood.

But really such 2 wonderful capital Bee of RETE Si p< BI » \e® surgical operation as this must not be Dibdinized in the narrative. Let plaia prose, and terse truth prevail. The Satsuma, a fine, big steamship of 2,690 tons, sailed from Yokohama on Sep tember 12. She called at Hlogo three days later, and on September 16 laid her course for New York. Her offl- cers are Englishmen her crew of fifty-five all Chinamen, from the old- est shellback A. B’s to the smallest cabin boy., “What's all that squalling and sowl- ing In the forecastle this morning?” Capt. Chubb inquired at breakfast on the second day out of Hiogo. 7 “That noisee foh Hop Ling, cap'n.” replied Huie Gee, the cabin steward, “Him goint die. We makee plenty singin’, plenty prayers, chin-chin Joss > bad debbils no catehee Hop Ling.” “We'll see about that," said Capt. Chubb. So affer breakfast he went down Into the forecastle and found Hop Ling, a fireman, lala out in bis bunk, very st{ll and sad, his face the Balest yellow you ever saw. “Him plenty sicx,” said two other firemen off watch, grinning politely to propitiate the mighty captain. “Him goin’ die plitty dam quick, cap'n. Got- tee pennyseetls. Yep! Die quick.” “Maybe not,” mused the captain, as he examined Hop Ling and found a tumor as big as.achen's egg on his right side. “Boy, run and ask Mr. Brand here.” “Chief Engineer Brand came down and looked at Hop<Ling sadly. “Shocking, sir, I call it," he said “and we so short-handed, too.” “3{'m! We'll see," Capt. Chubb re- marked. “Mr.,Brand, will you please bring in your stoutest pair of shears for cutting metal. Have an edge on ‘em. And Mr. Pyeeroft. please bring me the medicine-chest, a red-hot fire- pot and solderingiron, a sailmaker's needle and thread, a basin of warm water and an empty potato sack.” * “What's the old man up to, d’ye suppose?” asked Pyecroft. “Sounds like a kit o° tools for the Spanish In- quisition.” ‘They brought the things that Capt. Chubb required. He whipped off Hop Ling’s blouse, popped the potato sack caver his head and abruptly commend- ed him to He still. Hop was too far gone even to tremble. The needle and thread Capt. Chubb dropped into the basin of warm water, into which he had poured a gill of carbolic acid, “Now, then, stand by all and be ready to jump lively,” the captain commanded. “Mr. Brand, soak your shears in that basin of antiseptic fiuld and snip off that tumor. Mr. Pyecroft, grab out that needle and sew up Hop Ling -as soon as the thing Is off, S mea afi MA f ” ried md Ni s ‘ oy uN N ‘Then, Mr. Brand, you give the wound a touch of the fire-iron so as to cauttr- ize it properly and destroy and germs that may be ‘round.

The sniping and sewing and searing were all accom- plished faster than a cabin boy could say scat!

Ee ene ae Neamt ee N. K. Pukul, while on a tur of the {sland of Hawaii, found a sled In a eave at Hookeens, Hawall. It fs said that the oldest kamaal- pas of Hookena have heard trom thelr parents and grandparents that some time in the reign of King Kea- wenutaum!, dbout two hundred and fifty of three hundred years ago, a high chlefess name Kaneamuna ‘was then lying at Hookena. Her princl- pal amusement was hee holua (coast- Ing on a sled) and hee naly (surfing). She had her people make a sliding ground for her on a hill just*back of the little village of Hookena, and or- dered a sled, or land toboggan, as well as @ surfing board. When the slide was finished she passed many hours sliding down the steep hill. This slide was composed of smooth stones covered with rushes. After her death her sled and surf board dis- appeared, and the secret of their hiding place was never revealed. It Is bifeved the sled and board found in the cave belonged to the high chiefess, They are made of the wood of the bread fruit tree and at the present time are in very good condition, The cocoanut fibre ropes are still attached to the sled.—Hono- tulu Commercial Advertiser.

The contents, in ai unspeakable condition of offensive decay, filled twelve carts and underneath all the rotting mass, which was evidently there to serve the double purpose of hiding place and scarecrow, were two great leathern sacks weighing 160 pounds and stuffed’ full of money, mainly silver, though there was some copper.

Gout Forgotten When Tavern Keeper . Ran From “Ghost.* Many years ago, in the towa of Naples, Me. there was a tavern kept by a short, thick-set man whose name was Chute. He was so-afilicte2 with gout that he had not walked for many years. One evening, when all the nec in the village had gathered at the tavern, as was thelr custom. to talk over the events of the day, scme one sald that a ghost had been seen down in the graveyard, which was abou’ a quarter of a mile from the tavem.

They reached the graveyard wall where the ghost was said to have been seen. All at once something on the other side arose and sald: “Is be fat?” “Fat or Jean, you may have him,” said Ruggles, and he threw Mr. Chute off his back and ran for his life. Mr. Chute got up and ran, too, He got hack to the tavern first, and was said to never have been Jame afterward The cause of their fright proved te be two men engaged In stealing sheep. One was bid in the graveyard to help tle them when the other came in from the pasture with them on his back, He saw Ruggles with bis burden, and took him for his partner with a sheep. ‘MWieman Becomes Broker, A broker's office has been opened in the Mercantile Library Building, Cincinnati, by Mrs. Carlotta Thomp- son Brown, who has fitted the place out handsomely for the benefit of her patrons.

Tired of the monotony of housework, she has reentered the business world. ‘ “Keeping house Is the most tire- some thing I know of,” said she, after twelvro months of domestic life, “Whether a woman does her own work or has servants to do ft, there is not enough mental stimulus In housework for a woman who has held her own in the business world. “Besides, it is poor judgment to waste ability on housework which any one of average {ntelligence could do.” € Mrs. Brown Is the mistress of a beautifully appointed flat, presided over by a high-priced housekeeper.— New York World, .

Enabvies- Them to Detect Presence of Carrion Afar Off. It ts @ curlous thing, aad, so far as present knowledge goes, quite inex- Plicable, how @ shark seems to have an. unerring perception of fhe pres- ence of carrion. By virtue of what sense does he know that at a distance of perhaps a couple of miles there !s food to be had for the picking up? It can hardly be sight, and to say that it is the seise of smell presupposes an olfactory apparatus of such marvelous delicacy that one good whilf from an average “harness cask” would surely burst the machinery for good and all; and yet our shark will bolt a goodly lump of the gamlest salt pork without so much as a wink. No, it cannot be bls nose wh{ch leads him. Now'a theory has been put forward by ifaturalists that the shark’ possess- e3, {2 common with the Andes condor, @ special sense, or {nstinct, which is denied to cleaner feeding animals. ‘The naturalist cannot explain this sense; confesses, in fact, that he knows nothing about it; but he can give it a name.

Things went very well untll the daughters began to receive tho attentions of young men, and begged off or stole away to make thelt even- ing toilets. Then the minister changed the devotional hour until 10 in the evening, This reform created an upheaval, but tho father insisted, and at tho stroke of 10° the visiting young men are now left two alternatives: Either to leave or join with the family in prayer, and St has proved a severe test of thelr devotion for the daughters when those not prayerfully inclined stick it out, sermon and all.—Phila- delphfa Record, Monument to Pig. gee ae ce peaats pts mo Ss ee PRET ED ; Bena Gee ONE Leite eee |: Regia O cote Se rel 3 nER ORS Hcghek Sia eons. 2a OE Lees SOO PKS, «577 PES SE tea Bi EY BD BEC ESPON, F Sere gi woe. ie pd et ACER TOR VERSE Se Bk ee mic een aad OE ROR SES a sna el Jae ee In the hamlet of Worsley, near Man- chester, England, there is a monu- ment unique in the world’s history— a monument to an anti-race suicide pig. “Polly,” the sow, who has gained this distinction, was 15% years old, and had had a progeny amounting to the total of 200, of which number only four died in infancy.

M, Gustave Schlumburger, a Paris Jan collector, has one of the strangest hobbies of the world and Interest {1 the work {s doubled by the varlety of the objects he seeks. His hobby. which he has pursued for over thirty years has been the bringing together of the seals formerly attached to the correspondence of the princes and prelates settled in Syria in conse. quence of the crusades. In all he has secured fifty specimens, which he in- tends to bequeath to the French na- tion. = Some of the seals are of great In- terest, as, for example, that of King Amaury IL. of Jerusalem, showing on its reverse the three chief bulldings of the city; that of Ballan d’Iberlin, selgneur of Naplouse, who defended Jerusalem against Saladin in 1187; and that of a selgnour of the strong. hold of Maracleus, on the seacoast of Syria, which shows the formidable keep of the fortress. Costly Lord Mayer’s Coach. Originally ,costing something more than $5,000," the lord mayor's coach, still used fa the annual procession, has probably had more money ex- pended upon it than any horsedrawn vehicle in the world, It is nearly 150 years old and in that time more ‘than $100,000 has been spent in refurnish- ing jt for the sole occasion when it {s made use of each year. A more mod- ern coach could be had for the sum of five years’ repairs, but a new coach would never seem the same to the London public, who line the Strand on the occasion of the November pa- rade. It fs probable that the lord mayor of a century hence will ride tn the same equipage, though, like the Trishman’s knifo, it has been repaired so often that practically nothing of the original coach remains. iced Vane vai Bantam A shepherd died at Mondragone, Italy, lately at the rare old age of 120 years.

The mob spirit in Springfield has placed a blot upon Ohio that will be hard to eradicate. _ ConaressMAN KIEFFER, has introduced a billin congress to cut down representatives-.from states having disfranchising Jaws. At present this bill, if passed, will not affect Georgia. THE recent farmers’ confer- ence at the State College recom- mended a state fair for the col- ored people. It isa good thing and will be seriously considered. President Wright 4s giving this matter careful thought and will be heard from in a‘few days, Tue snug berth held by Lt. Rucker, in Atlanta, has been broken up. He leaves the mid- dle of the month for the Philli- pines. Lt. Rucker will be re- membered as the U. S, officer that took sucha pernicious part in the ‘disbandment of the col- ored troops. : Tue Grand Jury in ita recent peaenimen called upon the leading colored citizens to or- ganize to break’ down crime among the lower class. The leading colored citizens are do. ing the best they can under the circumstances, but they are be- ing thwarted in their efforts for good. For instance, the school accommodation is poor, they having more than three thou- sand children of school age out of the public schools, hundreds of them growing up in igno- rance, Onthe other hand the authorities are winking at the base violation of law in permit- ting policy playing in all sec- tiuns of the city, thereby ensnar- ing the nnwary among our peo- ple. Then there is the pawn shops and loan offices, all of them snares fur our people, + Give us more school facilities, break up the policy shops, restrict the operation of pawn shops and loan offices ; do these things as well as the putting out of the dance halls was done, then there will be less crimes committed. The leading color- ed citizens are unable to 40 this, but the gentlemen composing that grand jury can assist ma- teriallv. 2 Tux TRrBuNE has been ae. cused of being against the col ored citizens getting a library. Our many readers know that thisis false, “We have constant- ly advocated it and especially protested vigorously against the colored citizens being taxed for the support of the white library, while there is no similar one for them, The following editorial of Feb. 17th, is said to be the cause of our opposition to the movement: “tAt the past two mectings of ihe city councila delegation of colored men, un- known to us, appeared, asking for aid to- ward the establishing of a library for the colored people, A library is one of the institutions needed badly by our people, andit should be aided in an unstinting manner by the city. Now, it is under- stood that the Men’s Sunday Club, an or- ganization doing much for the people, will soon secure quarters and the library’ fea- ture will be the main thing. It would be well for the colored men who are thus iater- ested to unite forces with the young mea and have a library that will be a credit to the whole people and to which a greater.de- mand sould be made upon council to con- tribute.” Can any sane person note any opposition intheabove? About the only thing that the gentle- men interested could take ex- ception would possible be the words, ‘‘anknown to us.” It is a fact thatat the writing of the editorial, the movers in the ‘matter were not known tous and we donbt even now if they are known to half hundred persons other than themselves—we mean as instigators of this movement ; yet they are acting for over thirty thousand colored.citizens. ‘fne TRIBUNE is not opposing them and will not do so. Our only purpose was to get these gentlemen and the Men’s Sun- y Club together so that a unit- ed effort could be made for the fod of all concerned. Tux Trrpune will not tolerate the spirit of selfishness, or personal feeling, where the good of the people is concerned, and in this matter, asin all, its inflnonce willbe in. the direction of the good of the people, Although | THz TRIBUNE has not been ask- ed to contribute, yet will yolun- tary offer to do so, because it is a thing needed and it will be “of benefit to our people. The Colored Citizens of ‘Thomasville to the Fore. press dispatch from Thomas- ville : “Thomasville has been the scene of 2 very mild race war thls week. The day of miracles is not over, for there has been a street carnival here all the Week, and not a single negro has set foot cn the grounds. “The cause of the boycott bylthe negroes of Thomasville was an announcement that no colored people would be permitted on the grounds on Washington's birthday. In selecting Thursday the carnival manage- ment had no thought of its being.a legal holiday, But the Negroes took it as aa in- sult, They called amass meeting, and lead- ers of the race made impassioned addresscs Then a circular was issued, advisiog all colored people to stay away from the car- nivel grounds all week. The hand-bills stated that the negroes were liberty-lov- ing, thought as much of George Washing- ton as any other race, and considered the action a discrimination, “The circular caused a good deal of in- terest in Thomasville, but no one imagined that its advice would be carried into effect. Te-was supposed that race pride would evaporate tnder the seductive strains of the band, the bark of the spielers and the sight of the striped tents, But not so, and the experience is interesting on account.of the showing of complete organization that the colored race has made, “The shows arrived Monday. On the Sunday night before their coming the matter was dealt with in all the colored churches. “Still the carnival folks were not alarmed Monday morning, came and with it came difficulty in getting colored help to erect the tents. Then the shows opened in all their blaze of glory. Bat the Negro was conspicuous by his absence, The mana- gemeat tried to compromise, but there fas wothing doing, It offered to d+ mit both races on the holiday and to al- low a special day for white people and another for colored. On the black day § per cent. of the receipts were to go 0 the colored charities. The Negroes spurned the offers with contempt. Then the carnival people refused to let any Ne- gtocs onthe ground, This was a useless prohibition as none had evidenced any desire to go. . “The organization was perfect. Pickets, were stationed just outside the ground with pencil and notebook, ready to write down the names of all who transgressed the immutable boycott, Saturday was the conatry Negroes’ day'in town, but the boycotters were prepared. They had sent messengers throughout the country and church meetings had been held in every militia district. A committee from éach church was onhand to spot of- fenders. But there were none. Every- bedy seems saistified, The colored folks showed their spirit by staying away. The white people were pleased at haying the show grounds to themselves. The carnival management says that the patronage of the whites has compensated for the absence of the black. | “If any one is inclined to think that the dayof miraclesis o'er, be should bel re ferred to the example of the Ethiopian at Thomasville, He stood firm on the rock of racical pride, untempted by the strains of the hurdygurdy jenny,, untouched by the painted wonders oncanvas signs, Be would not spend his dimes to see them. More than that, he would nat even accept free passes to the shows, He would have none of them.” And no one believes that the show was a financial success. But all honor to the colored citi. zens of Thomasville. They have, set a pace thatour people in oth- er localities should accept. Their action shows how much can be Jone to cut down discrimination and prejudice if there was con- erted action on our Dart. Simi- ar insults are offered the colored sitizens here by the dirty apart ment in the loft of the theatre, yet it is always crowded with the jim crow contingent of our race. They should take incentive from he action of the colored people f Thomasville and become oo proud to accept the inferior ccommodation, 4 WORD FROM THE GRAND BASSES.

Long Boy and Pee Wee. Dear Mr, Editor, I think itis a very con: servative estimate to say tha there are about 6,000 meno} voting age in Savannah, Ga, | speak of colored men who are qualiéed as far as age is concerned to become voters. Would it not cause even the most casual observer to ask then, why is it that there are only abont 250 colored men registered, while there are over 3,000 White men reg- istered? Now if the facts were that there were fiteen times as many white men in Savannah as there are colored these figures , would not be‘out of the ordinary; but such 'is not the case, because it is conceded by the United States Census that thére are actually more colored men in Sayannah than there are white men, How then do we account for the fact that over 50 per cent of the white men eli- tible t8 vote has registered while only about 4 per ceat offthe colored men eligi- ble to yote has registered ; does not such a condition of affairs bespeak in ‘unmistak- able terms our own poor cnd low respect we have for ourselves? The idea of 250 men out of 6,000 registered ! How can even our dear friends of the opposite race regard us when they are aware of how lit: ‘tle we prize our ballots? How our hearts ‘must bleed to see men in our tanks who are supposed to be intelligent, men who have studied civil government, civics and what not, men who should be the first to show their brethren of less book learning the value of the ballot; men who the pub- lic looks to, to point out the way, direct the paths, and attain and enjoy the pleas~ ures of full-fledged citizenship, I say’ with what disgust’ we must behold such “farces?” I can pity my poor down trod- den brother whose life has been one. of clouds and shadows,” disadvantages .and misfortunes, misery and grief to sifch an extent that {n living inthe mire, he can- not appreciate things which are pure, high, lofty, and noble; such a creature fears an angel; but still the poor fellow has my sympathy, For after all, life is very much as Shakespeare said““I hold that life is a drama, where every mau plays his own part,” : Now when aman goes through school, enjoys all the advantages of research, the beauties of literature and history bas presented to bim the highest ideals to which any maa may attain and all in all enjoy and feast on such things as tend to make hima good sound man, a man whois able to stand upto any test which way be put to him, I say when I see such men not doing their first duty a§ citizens, they deserve to be placed in thelimelight of publicity. It is high ime to let these hypocrites know that fhe people are going to unmask them and see them as they are. Itis high time for us to get together all the force we can muster, make this a solid phalanx which under the Iéad of ome public spirited man will serve he best interest of our people, Despite our talk about our being solidly united, ve have not united as well as the spirit nf the times is demanding.

Ministers' Meeting: Rev James Jackson, presided at the Evangelical Minister's Union last Tuesday. Rev. Geo. E. Nolley conducted devotional service. The subject given out for discussion at the meeting before did not come up, as Rev R. M. S. Taylor who was on the program was absent. The meeting did not lack for interest, for other subjects were discussed of equal importance. Sermonic reports were given by Revs. W. L. Cash, J. S. Jenkins, R. V. Branch and Dr. J. A. Lindsay. Criticisms were made by Revs. E. Lowery, the president and G. E Nolley which brought out considerable helpful points. Each of them seems to have been surcharged with information and the spirit as, well. Some seems to think that some of ministers who are absent all the time stay away to keep the Union from finding it out, but the that isn't anything, the congregation knows it. The Union is a theological institute and teaques all the essentials in preaching. St. Phillips Dots. There was a large congregation out on last Sunday at 11 a.m. to hear Rey, Lindsay's discourse. His text was Luke 13;29. Subject "God's People gathering Home." Rev, Lindsay preached a grand sermon; every hearer was much benefitted. Rev, Lindsay preached again at 8 p.m. and the church was crowded standing room was only to be had. Our Sunday School was well attended on Sunday which shows the interest that is taken by the officers and teachers in making it second to none in the city or any where else. Quite a surprise was given Supt. J. H. Baldwin just before they closed on Sunday. A handsome gold watch was presented him by the officers and teachers of our school as a token of appreciation and high esteem which they have for him and for the great interest that he takes in the Sunday School. The presentation was made by Mr. A. W. White in a most feeling manner. Prof. Baldwin was like the good doctor after a full meal—to full for utterance. However he came around alright and responded in a way that was fitting for the occasion. Our rally on last Sunday did not come up to expectations, but taking all things into consideration we did fairly well. The ted nights entertainment given in the Ladies exchange (church annex) closed on Friday those good sisters in the good works. Our monthly love feast was held on Friday night. The following services will be held on tomorrow: Prayer meeting at 6 a. m. Preaching and baptism of children and adults at 11 a. m. Sunday School at 2:30 p. m. Communion at 3:30 p. m. Preaching at 8 p. m. A Promising Life Ended. Sunday afternoon last while riding a bicycle on the Augusta road Frank Ryals collided with an ox cart, the shaft of which penetrated his body from the effects of which he died at night at the hospital. The deceased was well liked by all who knew him. He was emyloyed in our office for a time and proved a faithful and respectful boy. The following from Prof. Geo. B. Hurd of the Beach Institute, bepsaks his worth: "Tuesday afternoon at there o'clock found over four hundred teachers, schoolmates and friends of Master Frank Ryals, gathered in Beach Institute chaple to attend his funeral. A few minutes later 72 comrade carriers of a local paper arrived escorting their friend's remains in formal procession, led by a band secured by the carrier boys' donations. In perfect order this company foll-wed their comrade's remains into the chapel and took the seats reserved for their use. Rev. R. V. Branch conducted the services with excellent judgment assisted by Beach principal who made a brief statement, after the most fitting sermon by Rev. Branch, testifying to the worthy qualities of Master Ryals as shown in his school life at Beach and to the love of teachers and schoolmates which had been awaken by these qualities, so that his loss from the school by such a violent taking off seemed to all like a family bereavement. It was by the urgent request of teachers and puplis, and comrades of the carriers' force that his family consented to the unusual incident of holding funeral services in the school chapel, and the attendance of over 500 friends showed plainly that it was a very amiable plan. Across the aisle from the carriers, the 85 members of Beach Normal class sat in a body, and led in the familiar songs in memory of their departed friend, closing with "Asleep in Jesus." The whole service was a fitting tribute to a worthy young man, just on the verge of manhood who had already proved his ability to accomplish much useful work and who bade fair to become a leader among men. He was contented only with first place if it were possible of attainment, he had first place in his class of 40 in school, besides doing excellent beginner's work in music and german as extras. We can ill afford to lose talented young people like him, and we cannot understand why he was taken, but we can take courage from the fact that ways are open for our boys and girls who will not be turned aside by little difficulties by which they can prepare for useful and effective lives, such as seemed most probably Master Ryals would have lived but for his untimely death. Though it cannot wholly comfort the sorrowing ones nearest and dearer to him, yet the fact of his winning so great respect from friends for native qualities, and the christian hope which he has held especially for the past month, must be helps to the stricken ones in enduring "the grief that must have way," especially bitter as it always is, when the course of nature seems reversed and the youthful and strong cross into the unknown, and, leave parent and grand parent behind, with hope unfulled. Only the supreme love of God, directly revealed can heal such stricken hearts. G. B. HURD Principal of Beach Insti ute.

United States Counsel Bardel, of Bamberg, Germany, reports the invention of the telemobiliskop by a resident of Dusseldorf, an apparatus which merits the attention of all seafarers, and which is said to have gained the special attention of German maritime circles. Describing the telemobiliskop, Consul Bardel writes: The telemobilioskop is to enable the pilot of a ship, in foggy weather, to discover the nearness of another vessel, even if the pilot of the other vessel neglects to give signals by which he could make himself heard. The apparatus works automatically, so that after it is once adjusted nothing whatever has to be done until a ship is discovered by it, when, by an unimportant manual action, the nearness of the other ship can be disclosed. The invention is based on the principle that electric waves, such as are used by wireless telegraphy, are reflected the moment they strike metallic objects in their course, while otherwise they continue on their journey. The Boy and the Dog.

For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven Catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.

How many women really that it is not the plan of nature that women should suffer so severely. Miss Irene Crosby Thousands of American woman, however, have found relief from all monthly suffering by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, as it is the most thorough female regulator known to medical science. It cures the condition which causes so much discomfort and robs these periods of their terrors. Mire Irena Crosby, of 313 Chariton Street, East Savannah, Ga., writes: "Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is a true friend to woman. It has been of great benefit to me, curing me of irregular and painful periods when everything also had failed, and I gladly recommend it to other suffering women." Women who are troubled with painful or irregular periods, backache, bloating (or flatulence), displacement of organs, inflammation or ulceration, that "bearing-down" feeling, dizziness, faintness, indigestion, nervous prostration or the blues, should take immediate action to ward off the serious consequences, and be restored to perfect health and strength by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and then writes to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass, for further free advice. She is daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham and for twenty-five years has been adoring woman free of charge. Thousands have been cured by so doing. The Children's Hour. We've formed a new society— "The Order of the Smiling Face."

Catherine the Great of Russia, although an imperious grandmother, had the greatest pride in her grandchildren, and, like many other less famous grandmothers, took their bringing up and education into her own hands. In "A Mother of Czars" the author says that it was Catherine who taught "Monsieur Alexandre," as the grand duke's eldest child was called, his a, b, c's, and compiled the "Grandmother's a, b, c's" and the "Alexander-Constantine Library" for the benefit of her grandsons. She occupied herself with Alexander's wardrobe, and certainly, judging frpm a letter of hers, she studied his comforts more than his appearance. She invented the child's costume herself. "All the things are sewn together," she wrote, "and put on in one piece, and the garment is fastened behind with two or three hooks. There are no strings or bands, and the child is hardly aware when he is dressed. The nurses thrust in his arms and legs as they put the suit over his head, and there it is—finished." Other royalties, it appeared, asked the czarina for her pattern for their own nurseries. Alexander was very precocious. He, at any rate, had no fear of his imperious grandmother. One day when he was ill and shaking with ague, he crept to her door wrapped in his little cloak. "Who is there?" asked the empress. "A sentinel dying of cold," answered the child. Another time he asked his nurse, "Whom am I like?" "Your mother," was the reply. "You have her mouth and nose." "I do not mean my face. Whom am I like in my ways and temper?" "In that respect you resemble the empress more than any one else." The little prince jumped up and threw his arms round his nurse's neck. "That is what I wanted to be told!" he cried, joyfully. "That child will become a person-age," said the proud grandmother, on being told of the incident—Selected. "Master Wag." There was not another dog in the village as smart as Dr. John's "Wag," — "Master Wag," people called him. He was as homely an English bulldog as you would care to see; but he took part in everything that was going on in such an intelligent way, and was so polite and well-bred, and knew so many interesting tricks to entertain you with, that you never stopped to think of his personal appearance. Besides standing on his hind legs and catching a ball in his fore paws, giving a jump or moving from side to side to not miss it, and rapping at the door so that even Dr. John would think it was a person that wanted to come in, Master Wag minded the doctor's horse just as well as a boy could have done it. When Dr. John drove round to see his patients, Master Wag always sat upon the seat beside him, looking very intelligent and dignified, bowing whenever Dr. John howed to a person, and listening with a great air of taking part in the conversation whenever the doctor spoke. When they came to a house where he had to make a call, Dr. John would get out, throwing the lines to Master Wag, and the horse always seemed to understand perfectly that he was in Master Wag's charge. But one morning, when the horse was brought out of the stable and was left to wait before the office door for the doctor and Master Wag to come out, he became frightened at a string of exploding firecrackers in the hands of some little boys, and started on a run down the street. Dr. John rushed out bareheaded, but too late to stop the horse. Master Wag, however, was quicker, and had hopped into the buggy and out on the shafts, and there everybody saw him standing with his fore paws on the back of the horse as he tore along, grasping one line in his mouth, and barking sharply as if calling "Whoa! Whoa!" But Master Wag couldn't stop him,—the horse was too frightened, and they all tore headlong down the street, horse, dog and carriage, Dr. John barreheaded, running and panting behind, women and children screaming as they sought to get out of the way, men staring as if they had lost their senses, until a man with more presence of mind than the others sprang out into the middle of. the street farther along and grabbed the bridle, giving the horse's head such a firm shaking that he was brought to a standstill. And then Master Wag jumped down and ran back to meet the doctor, barking and whining and even growling, in the most earnest way, as if assuring his master that he had done his very best. "And you could see for yourself," he said, "that I didn't leave him until he was caught!" Dr. John understood. He stooped and patted the dog's head before he went over to the carriage. "Yes, Wag," he said, "you did your whole duty. You always do."—Mary Cameron, in Little Folks. A Home in an Old Fence Post. There was once a little mother, with a large family and only her own hands to do for them all. They lived in an old fence post that had stood for so many years in the corner of an old field that everybody else had forgotten its existence. At the bottom of the post a colony of brown ants kept carrying grains of sand to the surface until a little mound was formed around their hole. But the little mother paid no more attention to the ants than if they had been a thousand miles away. I doubt is she knew of their existence. She was the busiest of busy people which she first found the post in early summer and decided to make her home there. She was all alone then, but she knew what she was about. She first bit a tiny scrap off the surface of the post. Then another and another. Finding it was just soft enough for her stout little jaws to work upon she toled hour after hour until she had bored a tunnel down into the post. It was a smooth little tunnel bigger than a lead pencil and not quite as long as a new one. Just think how long it must have taken her. Think how many weeks it would take you to dig a tunnel twelve times your own length and plenty wide enough for you to creep into! And you would have a shovel and a pickaxe and a cart to carry away the dirt. This little mother had only her own jaws to work with. I never heard that she complained a bit. She always worked as if she liked it. Do you think she sat down to rest when the tunnel was done and every scrap carried to the entrance and dropped to the ground? (I wonder if the brown ants ever thought it was raining sawdust.) No rest for the little mother yet. She flew (for she had four wings) straight to the nearest garden, and found without delay a fine rose bush with thin leaves. Before you could wink twice she had snipped but an oval piece and was gone. At the very bottom of the tunnel in the old post she placed the bit of rose leaf, whirled away again to the very same bush, cut another oval to go with the first. $ ^{a} $ So she continued until she had made of the pieces of rose leaf a little thimble-shaped cup at the bottom of the tunnel. Without stopping to admire her work she hurried to the nearby flowers and collected honey and pollen enough to make a little cake, which she packed away in the rose leaf cup. The first room of the little new home is now ready for its occupant. The walls are thick and smoothly lined. The little bee-mother now lays her first egg upon the cake of honey and pollen. When the bee-baby hatches out it finds enough food to last until it is a grown-up bee. Away the little mother files. Back to the rose bush now. But the piece she cuts this time from the rose leaf is not oval but circular. Quick as lightning her little scissors-like jaws do their work. The round piece is just the size to cover the top of the cup in the tunnel and she tucks the edges in tidily, often making three or four trips for circular pieces before the work is finished to her liking. Another rose leaf cup is fitted in the tunnel just touching the top of the first one. It is stocked with food, an egg placed in it and all covered with green circles. Another cell, then another and another is made, until the tunnel is full. Sometimes several tunnels are made by the same bee. To line them all she must make hundreds of trips to the rose garden. Examine your rose bushes and see if the leaf-cutter bee has paid them a visit. How lucky you would be if you should be watching some day and should really see a grey bee not so large as a honey bee come and cut out a piece and bear it away. A boy I once knew had a habit of always seeing things happen. One day he actually followed one of these bees from his mother's rose bush straight across the pasture to the old fence post in the corner, and saw her carry the bit of rose leaf into her nest.—Mary Morgan Miller, in Boys and Girls. Growth of Potato Eaters "It is hard for us to realize," said Miss Anna Barrows, lecturer on domestic science at Teachers' college, "that the overwhelmingly universal use of potatoes, as we know it, is such a comparatively recent thing. "My grandmother was born in Concord, N. H., in 1793, and she has told me that when her father raised a barrel of potatoes in a season, the neighbors used to wonder what he was going to do with so many of them." Thousands of natives of Polynesia are needed to work on the sugar and other plantations of Queensland. These plantations are in the low coast regions; and as the climate is tropical white labor is not successful. For many years sailing vessels have been visiting the islands to recruit Kanakas for the Queensland plantations. The trade gave rise to abuses which have been suppressed by law, but the natives are not so eager to emigrate as formerly and it is hard work to fill the vessels. A sea captain in the Kanaka trade has introduced a new method of making emigration attractive. Before he sailed from Queensland a year ago he visited a number of the plantations where South Sea Islanders are employed. He had a camera and a phonographa Going from one plantation to another he photographer groups of natives and also took individual pictures of well-known fellows from the New Hebrides, Solomon and other groups. Then he brought the phonograph into service. The best known natives who had a large acquaintance in the islands were induced to talk into the instrument and tell their friends the kind of life they led in Australia and how they were getting along on the plantations. These phonographed letters were obtained from Kanakas who formerly lived in about a dozen of the islands which the recruiting vessels are in the habit of visiting. Then the ingenious shipmaster had his photographs turned into lantern slides and off he sailed for the islands well equipped to astonish the natives. According to a Queensland newspaper the scheme has been a great success. The captain had an ample supply of lantern slides showing emigrants from each of the islands he visited. Everybody was on hand to see the show and the natives were beside themselves with delight when they saw the well-known visages of their friends and acquaintances thrown upon the screen. But the greatest wonder was when each picture actually talked to the crowd in the very tones and accents which many of the auditors connected with the man upon whose face they were gazing. The man sent them greetings from his plantation home 1,000 miles away. He told them he was doing well, that he liked the life and that Queensland was a good place to come to. He talked about the country, the money he earned and the good treatment he received. Pictures were shown of the huts occupied by the emigrants, the fields they worked in and groups of laborers whose sleek appearance and smiling faces seemed to show that they were enjoying life. The result is that the stereoicon and phonograph have proved to be valuable recruiting agents. Even the natives who have had the worst misgivings about emigration become enthusiastic converts to the idea when they see their friends actually before them and hear their well-known voices. The captain had no difficulty in making up a load and other captains engaged in the Kanaka trade say they are going to employ the same expedi-ent. Pellcan Island. In that long, narrow lagoon on the east coast of Florida known as Indian River, there is a muddy islet three or four acres in extent. Originally it doubtless did not differ from hundreds of similar neighboring islets; but, for some reason past finding out, this islet, and this alone, forms the nesting resort, the home, of all the pelicans of the Indian River, if not, indeed, of the east coast of Florida. The brown pelican, unlike its white cousin, nests normally in low trees and bushes; and there is evidence that when the original pelican colonists landed on the islet which now bears their name, it was well grown with black and red mangroves in which the birds placed their scaffolding of sticks. Exceptionally low temperature and high, water—perhaps also excessive use by the birds, which sometimes build as many as seven nests in a single mangrove—have killed tree after tree, until at present only three serviceable trees remain. Still the birds come back, the impelling motive which prompts them to return to this particular spot being evidently stronger than that which induced them to nest in trees—Century, Ate the Heart of Louis XIV. There is no need to be skeptical regarding Mr. Labouchere's story that the late Dean Buckland swallowed the mummified remains of the heart of Louis XIV, and that it now rests in the dean's body in Islip churchyard, when one recalls the many weird dishes that the famous divine consumed in his life time. At his dinner parties, which were attended by leaders of science and literature, the menus were often of a most eccentric character. On one occasion plucked horse tongue was greatly relished by the guests until they were told what they had eaten. Alligator was served up as a rare delicacy, and puppies occasionally, and mice frequently. At. other times hedgehogs, tortoises, potted ostrich and sometimes rats, frogs and snails were prepared for the delectation of favored guests.

Governor Folk of Missouri, was talking about reform. "We all believe in it," he said, "but we want to see it brought about at other folks' expense. We are like, too like, a certain Kansas City boy. "This boy's mother said to him on her return from a long day's shopping in the Thanksgiving season: "Now, I hope my little Tommy has taken to heart mamma's talk of last night about charity and unselfishness. Since he has few troubles of his own, I hope he has thought of others' troubles all day long. Since he has many causes for thanksgiving himself, I hope he has tried to give cause for thanksgiving to others. What is my Tommy's report for the day? How many acts of kindness has he done? How much woe has he lightened? How many hearts has my Tommy made grateful and glad? "In this way spoke the good young mother. And her Tommy replied: "I've done a whole lot of good ma.

The Other One. A story is told of a police magistrate in Cincinnati who having an extraordinary amount of business one morning, was disposing of his cases at the rate of some two or three a minute, with great exactness and dignity, being, as is usual in police courts, judge, jury, and lawyer all in one. To one rather refractory witness his Honor said, "I am to understand that you readily recognize this handkerchief as the one stolen from you?" "Yes, your Honor." "How do you know it is yours?" peremptorily demanded his Honor. "I recognize it at once because of its peculiar design." "You must be aware, sir," declared the magistrate, oracularly, as he drew a similar handkerchief from his own pocket, "that there are others like it." "True enough!" was the unexpected reply. "I had two stolen!"—Harper's Weekly. A certain Pittsburg millionaire visited Philadelphia not long ago, and his business leading him to the splendid Academy of the Natural Sciences, he found himself walking in and out among the cases of stuffed birds. There are thousands of lifelike feathered creatures gathered there, and the collection is considered one of the finest in America. The custodian could not help praising it all with excusable warmth. I've never figured it out," said he, at last, "but it is safe to say, at a guess, that these stuffed birds are worth not less than $200,000." "Heavens!" exclaimed the man of money, "is it possible? What are they stuffed with?-"Harper's Week- THE SPEED LIMIT. The Judge—But if you tooted your horn, how is it that the plaintiff did not hear you in time to get out of the way?

FOOD AND STUDY "All through my high school course and first year in college," writes an ambitions young man, "I struggled with my studies on a diet of greasy, pasty foods, being especially fond of cakes and fried things. My system got into a state of general disorder and it was difficult for me to apply myself to school work with any degrees of satisfaction. I tried different medicines and food preparations but did not seem able to correct the difficulty. Then my attention was called to Grape-Nuts food and I sampled it. I had to do something, so I just buckled down to a rigid observance of the directions on the package, and in less than no time began to feel better. In a few weeks my strength was restored, my weight had increased, I had a clearer head and felt better in every particular. My work was simply sport to what it was formerly. "My sister's health was badly run down and she had become so nervous that she could not attend to her music. She went on Grape-Nuts and had the same remarkable experience that I had. Then my brother, Frank, who is in the Postoffice Department at Washington city and had been trying to do brain work on greasy foods, cakes and all that, joined the Grape-Nuts army. I showed him what it was and could do and from a broken-down condition he has developed into a, hearty and efficient man. "Besides these I could give account of numbers of my fellow students who have made visible improvement mentally and physically by the use of this good." Name given by Posttim. Co. Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason, Read the little book, "The Road to Wells' Heights." Brooklyn; N. Y.-Bishop Burgess preached Sunday morning in the Church of the Redeemer. The occasion was the dedication of the beautiful memorial organ, a gift to the church. The bishop spoke on "Church Music." The text was from Psalm xxiv:9: "He that planted the ear, shall He not hear? He that formed the eye, shall He not see?" Bishop Burgess said during his sermon: This organ, which we dedicate today, to the glory of God, has been placed here in memory of one who was a faithful and devoted worshiper in this church, George Parker. There is a peculiar appropriateness in the gift, for church music appealed to him with an especial power. To make this part of our worship worthy of our church's traditions, to make its ritual, when ritual of some kind was necessary, seemly and historic, he was willing to sacrifice his time, his money, his strength. It has seemed to me that it would not be out of place for me to speak to you to-day of church music and to trace its history so that we may be better able to estimate the value of what must always be an adjunct to the service, the hand-maid, not the mistress, of worship. The Bible never seeks to prove the existence of God. The prophets, poets, philosophers, historians of the Old Testament, as well as the Apostles and Evangelists of the new, everywhere assume the Being and Personality of God. They do not argue for this position. They simply claim it as their right. Only the fool, and he only under his breath, can deny the existence of God. But if any argument is hinted at, it is rather this argument from design, which is to-day, after all, the advance of modern science, considered the most cogent of them all and which is struck off at white heat, as it were, in this glowing sentence of the Psalmist, "He that planted the ear, shall He not hear? He that formed the eye, shall He not see?" The writer may not have known, perhaps, as much of human anatomy and of the physiology of the brain as Professor James, he may not have been as cognizant of the delicate structure of the eye and ear and of our modern specialists, but the marvels and the beauty were before he wrote those words. It is an argument which the fool is able to set aside, that such things do not come by chance and that in the Supreme Being something corresponding to hearing and seeing exists, that the music which delights the ear of man is known to God, and the glow of the sunset, the sweet unfathomable beauty of the world, of the stars and of the flowers have their existence primarily for God. The horrified philosopher may call out "anthropomorphism," but for my part I do not fear that as much as the impersonality of pantheism or materialism. If it is true, as Professor Sholler says, that the naturalist has a right to conclude that the universe is under the control of power in ways like unto the mind of man then surely we have a right to believe that all our art, our music, our architecture, our paintings and sculpture are heard or seen by God and are pleasing or unpleasing to Him according as they are or are not founded upon the principles of treth. Let us not argue about this. Let us assume it now as we speak of church music. We can watch their ways with our microscope, but we dare not assert that they do not hear comments and live in a world of the source of which we know nothing. So with the universe. We can plow the heavens with the telescope, but we know not that what we call the music of the spheres has no existence and that it is only a poet's fancy which asserts that the heavens, the stars and the planets accompany the sons of God in their praise of the Father in Heaven. In all civilized nations I believe music has always had some connection with religion. The Greeks had no doubt carried it, as they did every art they touched, to a high grade of excellence. In Plato we find music is a constant source of illustration. In those days, as in these, they had the mere musician, who prided himself on his car and lost the poetry and the meaning of the art. "The musicians," one of the characters says bitterly, "put their ears in the place of their minds." "Yes," replied Glaucon, "I like to see them laying their ears alongside of their neighbors' faces, some saying, That's a new note," others declaring that the two notes are the same." But for Plato music had a deeper significance and in one single sentence he brings out its connection with morals. "Simplificity in music," he says, "was the parent of temperance in the soul," a truth which we need to remember to-day as never before. But to the Hebrews the art was sacred. Miriam with her timbals and her dances accompanied her song of victory. The majestic rhythm of the Psalms were blended, no doubt, with an equally majestic music. When the people were carried away into captivity their conquerors wanted to hear them sing their beautiful national ales. But the young voices refused to answer. "How can we sing the Lord's songs in a strange land?" Browning has dramatized the scene, but the people must have been naturally musical when the shepherd lad could come with his harp and drive away the worst melancholy from the heart of the troubled monarch. I doubt not that our Lord loved the music of the Temple and that one happy moment in Holy Week was when the children of the Temple, presumably the boys who sang this daily service, cried out in homage to their prophet, Hosanna to the Son of David! The history of early church service is obscure, but at the beginning of the seventh century Gregory the Great, the Bishop of Rome, created a new era and probably a reform in the art by introducing what was known, as the Gregorian tones or modes. I have not technical knowledge enough to assert whether th's was original with him or whether he revived an older method, but certain it is that the Gregorian style, if I may use such a term, has become the model of all the best and strongest ecclesiastical music, whether Roman or Anglican. But during the Middle Ages corruption had set in of so serious a nature that we find the Scottish Puritans and the Pope's of Rome alike condemning music. The Puritans abolished all musical instruments from their churches and adopted the natural tone of voice for the services and prayers and the plaited of psalm tunes, which, however, had all the grandeur of Gregorian chants. But it is not as well known that the Council of Trent censured for centuries the prevalent style of church music with extraordinary severity and was on the eve of forbidding any kind of music in the church, when it was saved from this extreme action almost by a miracle. Now why, in such different quarters, do we find such violent and virulent antagonism to church music? Let us first answer that question, and then see what it was that softened that antagonism. The reason why music was condemned was because it had become a traitor in the camp. During the Middle Ages the troubadours had invented many beautiful melodies, some of them soft and pathetic, some warlike and some gay. This kind of music has developed along with the sacred, and the church composers and precentors have adopted the secular tunes and incorporated them into the masses so that the people even sang the profane words instead of those of the Latin liturgy. It is as if to-day we should have the airs of "Annie Laurie" or "Way Down on the Swainnee River" used as a theme for the communion office or played on the organ at the time of partaking of the Bread and Wine of the Body and Blood of our Lord. This abuse of music became a scandal in the chancel. Apparently choirs and organists had not learned that obedience to the clergy while on trust has now been acquired, and the only way which seemed possible to stop the profanity was to silence the voice of organ and choir alike. You may rest assured that while there is some obscurity as to the real state of affairs, yet the desecration must have been very great when Scotch Puritans and Roman prelates united in their condemnation of the art. What saved it, then? In the Protestant world it was Luther. His love of music was intense. He used to play on the flute, and said that the devil fled from its sound when he played. He wrote some of the stateliest and noblest of the German hymns. And if he did not compose the music as well, he certainly superintended its composition. This best of hymn music is really founded on the old method of plain song which Gregory the Great advocated. In these revelations which are going on all the time now in the social, the financial and political world, we find that the standard of ethics is practically that of men who have no faith in the hearing and seeing God. It is the morality for the world. Sin is not sin unless it is found out. Provided the scandal is kept out of sight it is of no consequence. Large sums will be paid to the most disreputable papers under the guise of subscriptions to keep names out of the scurrilous sheets. Accounts are tampered with and entries changed or omitted, so that no one may learn the facts. And all is done because in the eyes of such men the only shame is the shame of the police courts and the cropped hair and striped garments of the prisons. But if the rapid machinery of modern life would stop long enough for men to think, maybe they would hear the psalmist's question ringing in their ears. "He that planted the ear, shall He not hear? He that made the eye, shall He not see?" Morality and music are thus seen to have the same ideal. And the church which will teach the truth of Christ in this world of sin, will have her organs tuned with the heavenly, and her music will not be made to please the ear of man, but to delight the ear of God. No more sublime language exists than the passage in the communion office, "Therefore, with angels and archangels and with all the company of heaven we laud and magnify Thy glorious name." The church that speaks these words is speaking only unto God, and the music which must accord with such thought and language must be the music of a mind and heart which belong unto the Lord God Almighty. Songs in the Night. God * * giveth songs in the night. Any man can sing in the day. When the cup is full, man draws inspiration from it. When wealth rolls in abundance around him, any man can praise the God who gives a plenteous harvest, or sends home a loaded rosary. It is easy to sing when we can read notes by daylight; but he is skilful who sings when there is not a ray of light to read by—who sings from his heart. No man can make a song in the night of himself; he may attempt it, but he will find that a song in the night must be divinely inspired. * * No, it is not in man's power to sing when all is adverse, unless an altar-coal shall touch his lip. * * * Then, since our Maker gives "songs in the night" let us wait upon Him for the music. O Thon Chief Musician, let us not remain songless because affliction is upon us, but tune Thou our lips to the metody of thanksgiving.—C. H. Spurgeon. Modern Miracles. The U. S. Department of Agriculture has been experimenting for some years in an effort to produce an orange which will grow in northern climates, and has recently met with success. Tangelo is the name of the new orange. How was it produced? By plant marriage. The wiry, tough, sour little orange of Japan was married to the luscious Florida orange. This is only one of the many miracles wrought to-day by scientists. Surely, it is feasible to think of a miracle wrought in the spiritual realm by the union of God and man. Every day spiritual miracles are being performed, man becomes a new creature as he becomes united through faith to his Saviour. First eyangelize the young men, and then make them an evangelizing force, for if these nations are going to be evangelized it is going to be by the sons and daughters of the soil.

Mott HIGH CLASS DRUGGISTS The better class of druggists, everywhere, are men of scientific attainments and high integrity, who devote their lives to the welfare of their fellow men in supplying the best of remedies and purest medicinal agents of known value, in accordance with physicians' prescriptions and scientific formula. Druggists of the better class manufacture many excellent remedies, but always under original or official names and they never sell false brands, or imitation medicines. They are the men to deal with when in need of anything in their line, which usually includes all standard remedies and corresponding adjuncts of a first-class pharmacy and the finest and best of toilet articles and preparations and many useful accessories and remedial appliances. The earning of $ fair living, with the satisfaction which arises from a knowledge of the benefits conferred upon their patrons and assistance to the medical profession, is usually their greatest reward for long years of study and many hours of daily toil. They all know that Syrup of Figs is an excellent laxative remedy and that it gives universal satisfaction, and therefore they are selling many millions of bottles annually to the well informed purchasers of the choiceest remedies, and they always take pleasure in handing out the genuine article bearing the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Do—printed on the front of every package. They know that in cases of colds and headaches attended by billiousness and constipation and of weakness or torpidity of the liver and bowels, arising from irregular habits, indigestion, or over-eating, that there is no other remedy so pleasant, prompt and beneficial in its effects as Syrup of Figs, and they are glad to sell it because it gives universal satisfaction. Owing to the excellence of Syrup of Figs, the universal satisfaction which it gives and the immense demand for it, imitations have been made, tried and condemned, but there are individual druggists to be found, here and there, who do not maintain the dignity and principles of the profession and whose greed gets the better of their judgment, and who do not hesitate to recommend and try to sell the imitations in order to make a larger profit. Such preparations sometimes have the name—"Syrup of Figs"—or "Fig Syrup" and of some piratical concern, or fictitious fig syrup company, printed on the package, but they never have the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of the package. The imitations should be rejected because they are injurious to the system. In order to sell the imitations they find it necessary to resort to misrepresentation or deception, and whenever a dealer passes off on a customer a preparation under the name of "Syrup of Figs" or "Fig Syrup," which does not bear the full name of the California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of the package, he is attempting to deceive and mislead the patron who has been so unfortunate as to enter his establishment, whether it be large or small, for if the dealer resorts to misrepresentation and deception in one case he will do so with other medicinal agents, and in the filling of physicians' prescriptions, and should be avoided by every one who values health and happiness. Knowing that the great majority of druggists are reliable, we supply the immense demand for our excellent remedy entirely through the druggists, of whom it may be purchased everywhere, in original packages only, at the regular price of fifty cents per bottle, but as exceptions exist it is necessary to inform the public of the facts, in order that all may decline or return any imitation which may be sold to them. If it does not bear the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package, do not hesitate to return the article and to demand the return of your money, and in future go to one of the better class of druggists who will sell you what you wish and the best of everything in his line at reasonable prices.

Ous—Easy of Digestion and Rea In Senate Fight for Hopburn Railroad Rate Bill. DEMOCRATS IN CONTROL Their Votes in Committee Meeting Did the Work — Republicans Badly Split Over the Great Question. A Washington special says: By taking advantage just at the right time of the opportunity presented to them Friday, the democrats of the senate interstate commerce committee not only succeeded in forcing a favorable report upon the Hepburn bill just as it came from the house, but succeeded in getting possession of the bill, which has been much touted as the administration measure. The net result of the day's action, studied from a strategical standpoint, is that all the credit for taking this advance toward securing adequate legislation must go to the democrats. Thus, in the great fight to come over the rate question in the senate, the democrats have all the advantage of position. The bill will be in the hands of Senator Tillman, senior democrat upon the committee, and under his leadership, the democrats will see to it that nothing is permitted to stand in the way of the enactment of an adequate rate law. After the committee had adjourned Senator Tillman held a levee in his committee room. There were present several democratic senators to congratulate him upon the practical victory secured by the party in getting control of the rate bill, and there were also present several newspaper men. When reference was made to possible conferences between him and the president of the United States upon whom he loses no opportunity to empty the vials of his wrath, Senator Tillman said: "Well, it is a rather unexpected and ridiculous situation, but if any one has an idea that I am going to make a force of it, with myself as the clown, they are badly mistaken. Those who imagine I am not going to fight for an effective railroad bill are way off their base. I do not see why my selection as the member to have charge of the measure should go towards allaying the feeling throughout the country in regard to railroad matter. I am certainly not going to lend myself to any scheme of sidetracking or undermining the efforts to get corrective legislation. "The senate should be relieved of white house dictation, and we should be at liberty to do our duty in accordance with our oaths of office, and our duty to our states and constituents under the constitution. In all seriousness, I am not going to put myself in any position or allow anything to happen to sidetrack the effort to get a good law. My frankness and reputation, I think, will preclude the possibility of suspicion that I am in this bill as a joker. "This is a democratic proposition, and the president lent his great influence to it. I hope that he will continue to do so. The democrats in the house supported the bill unanimously, and I believe the democrats in the senate will do likewise. I hope there will be enough patriots on the republican side to help pass it." NO POISON IN STOMACH. Tucker is Exonerated of Charge of Murdering His Wife. Drg. Harris and Daniel, who conducted the post mortem examination at Moultrie, Ga., in the case of E. W.

It is alleged a case against Kryder was pending and that Blackburn secured a compromise. SONS OF VETS CALLED. Will Meet With Their Confederate Sires at New Orleans.

Chicago "Bluebeard" Finally Dies on Gallows for Wife Murder—Protested Innocence to Last. Johann Hoch, convicted murderer, confessed bigamist, and who, if but a fraction of the stories of crimes that are told of him are true, was one of the greatest criminals this country has ever known, was hanged at the Cook county fall in Chicago Friday for poisoning his wife, Marie Welcker-Hoch. He faced death as he has always said that he would face it—when the final moment came—camly and without fear. He stood on the scaffold, beneath the dangling noose in the attitude and with the placid courage of a soldier who realizes to the full that death is certainly his portion, but is still unafraid. Three times respited, Hoch insisted to the last that he be granted all the delay that the law conceded him. Under the wording of his sentence the criminal was to hang between the hours of 10 and 2 o'clock. When the last resource of his attorneys—an appeal to the federal court on a violation of the fourteenth amendment to the constitution, which forbids that a man shall not be deprived of his life without due process of law—had been denied, Hoch abandoned all hope of saving his life, but still insisted that he be allowed to live as nearly to 2 o'clock as possible. Jailer Whitman, who has long been a friend of Hoch, appeared in his cell and remarked: "It's all off, Johann, nothing more can be done for you." Hoch replied: "That is all right. It's all right, but I want to have all that is coming to me in point of time. I'll go when 1:30 o'clock comes, but if you try to take me before that time I'll fight." "It would not do you any good to fight," replied Jaller Whitman. "I know that," replied Hoch, "but I want all that is coming to me. I'll go all right at 1:30." It was exactly 1:32 o'clock when Hoch, proceeded by Deputy Sheriff Peters and attended by Jaller Whitman, and two ministers, stepped on the scaffold and two minutes later he was a corpge. He walked on the scaffold quietly and stood directly under the noose with heels together and head erect like a soldier on parade. He was pale, but composed and full of courage. Rev. Burkland was reciting the prayers for the dying when Deputy Sheriff Peters asked Hoch to step back on the trap. He took two steps quickly, glanced down to see if he was in the proper place and then turned his face to the deputy sheriff. "Do you want to say something?" asked Deputy Sheriff Peters. "Yes," said Hoch, and in a strong German accent said: "Father, forgive them, they know not what they do. I must die an innocent man. Goodbye." He chopped off the last words in a short, inclusive manner, and before his voice was silenced the drop fell. Death was instantaneous, the neck being broken. Three of Its Occupants Seriously Hurt—Acident a Mystery. An elevator of the Temple court building, corner Alabama and Pryor streets, Atlanta, fell five floors Friday afternoon, seriously injuring three and slightly bruising a fourth man. The injured are; Benjamin H. Hill and John W. Moore, attorneys; Dr. W. A. Starnes and Irving Willey, operator of the elevator. * The only occupant of the car who escaped without a scratch was W. H. Turman, a stenographer. A remarkable fact in connection with the plunge of the elevator is that the cause of the accident is unknown. The only thing that is known is that at the fifth floor of the building the car started swiftly downward, the brake refused to work and the clamps on the sides did not operate. The car fell the entire five flights without interruption, and was stopped only by the concrete floor in the basement. TO PROBE ALLEGED REBATES. House Orders Inquiry Into Crookes Deals by Railroads. Preceded by a debate which indicated no hesitancy, but rather a reliance in taking action against alleged railroad combinations, the house agreed without opposition Friday to the Tillman-Gillespie resolution directing the interstate commerce commission to make an immediate inquiry and report regarding alleged restraints of trade on the part of certain railroads in the handling of coal and oil. EXCITMENT IN CHINESE CAPITAL Mysterious Rumors Result In Double Guards for Dowager Empress. A cable dispatch from Pekin, China, says: The guards around the Forbidden City have been doubled and all the palaces and residences of high officials are especially guarded. The police who have hitherto carried bats are now armed with rifles. All the officials either refuse any information or profess ignorance of the reasons for the precautions that have been taken.
