TRAGEDY OF THE SEA Twenty-Seven Go Down with Storm-Wrecked Steamer. Passing Vessels Pick Up Survivors Clinging to Frail Bits of Wreckage—Life Boats Crushed to A Boston dispatch says: Suffering, mental and physical, and numerous acts of herolism in saving life rarely equaied in the record of tragedies of the sea, attended the loss of the Phoenix Line steamer, British King, which, on Sunday last, in a raging Atlantic storm, foundered about 150 miles south of Sable Island, and carried to death twenty-seven members of the crew. Thirteen men were rescued from the sinking vessel by the Layland Line steamer Bostonian, bound from Manchester to Boston, and eleven by the German tank steamer Mannheim, Rotterdam to New York. Five others, who had been drawn down in the vortex into which the British King was engulfed were picked up by the Bostonian from a frail bit of wreckage, which they had grasped after a desperate struggle for life in the whirlpool. The Bostonian arrived Wednesday afternoon, and the details of the disaster became public. Captain James O'Hagan of the British King died on board the Bostonian from the effects of terrible injuries sustained in trying to save his ship. The rescued who were brought to Boston Wednesday include James Flanigan, the second officer; J. D. Crawford, the chief engineer; Adolphus Beck, the fourth engineer, and William J. Curry, the steward. The others were coal passers and sailors, mostly Belgians, and one stowaway, Henry Parkotch of New York. Two lifeboats from the Bostonian were crushed to fragments and the volunteer crews which manned them were thrown into the high running seas while engaged in the work of rescue, but all were safely landed on board the steamer. When the first lifeboat was lowered from the Bostonian the small craft was swept against the stern of the big ship and destroyed, and several of the crew were bruised and malmed. Yet, despite the bolsterous condition of the sea, the volunteers were rescued by lines thrown out from their steamer. A second attempt to reach the sinking ship was successful and thirteen men, including Captain O'Hagen, were taken from the British King to the Bostonian. Then again a powerful billow carried the lifeboat against the side of the ship and destroyed it, and the lifesavers were thrown into the sea, to be rescued only after an hour's effort by their comrades. Volunteers from the Mannheim, after a heroic battle with the waves, had taken off eleven from the British King, but after this neither of the steamers, in consequence of the gale, could make an attempt to reach the foundering freighter. Moreover, darkness fell and it was an utter impossibility to do else but wait for the moonlight to guide them. In the darkness the British King, which was then water-logged and helpless, plunged to the bottom. Ex-Presidential Candidate Parker Prognosticates. Judge Alton B. Parker, who addressed the Mississippi legislature Wednesday, in an interview with a representative of The Jackson Ledger, said: "I am convinced, as far as I am personally concerned, that Mr. Roosevelt will ask for the nomination of the republican party for a third term. While this would probably be disputed in Washington or in other portions of the east in my own mind I am satisfied that at present this is the intention of the president." AS 80P TO THE CHINESE. Southern Cotton Mill Men Urge Passage of Foster Bill. Prominent cotton mill men from Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina appeared with representatives of the American Aslatic Association and the National Association of Manufacturers, before a subcommittee of the house committee on foreign affairs, at Washington, Wednesday, to urge the passage of the Foster bill, to amend the Chinese exclusion act so that high class Chinamen may be admitted into this country without obstruction. The Savannah Tribune. A WOMAN AFTER PIERP. Mrs. Williams Seeks Revenge Against Millionaire Morgan Because She Lost Out in Bad Investment. At a hearing in the private chambers of Magistrate Wahle, in the tombs police court at New York Wednesday, Mrs. G. B. Williams, an Englishwoman, who resides at the Hoffman House, was committed to Bellevue hospital to be examined as to her sanity. Mrs. Williams is said to be a widow of good connections. She was arrested in front of the offices of J. Pierpont Morgan & Co. on a warrant sworn out by former Assistant District Attorney Lord. The charge was disorderly conduct. Mrs. Williams protested when ordered to the hospital, and said she was the victim of a plot planned by J. P. Morgan. When removed from the magistrate's chambers she struggled desperately and gave the five policemen who had her in charge all they could to get her into a carriage. It is said that the name Williams is probably a fictitious one. She is about forty or forty-five years of age, and is Reputed to have been at one time a very wealthy woman, but is said to have lost considerably by bad investments. Since March 9 she has been daily to the offices of Morgan & Co. demanding to see Mr. Morgan, who is in Europe, or his son, J. P. Morgan, Jr. On the occasion of each of her visits, it is alleged, she has threatened to shoot and kill the financier and his son. At the office of J. P. Morgan & Co., it was stated by a prominent official that Mrs. Williams had been worrying Mr. Morgan off and on for about five years. She was introduced to Mr. Morgan by very good people. She told Mr. Morgan that she believed she has an interest in some Boston estate, and asked the financier to look up the matter for her. Mr. Morgan investigated it and found that at one time she had been interested in it, but that she had sold her interest. The official stated that it is the general belief that the woman is not in her right mind. AFTER HEAD OF PARKHURST. Alleged Plot to Put New York Parson Out of the Way. An alleged plot to assassinate Rev. Dr. Charles H. Parkhurst, following the recent municipal election in New York city, inspired, it is asserted, by a police official, and in revenge for raids made on certain places by agents of the Society for the Prevention of Crime, known also as the Parkhurst Society, was revealed Wednesday when District Attorney Jerome summoned Acting Captain John H. Shells of the West One Hundredth street police station; John Phelan, a plain clothes policeman, and two civilians, Richard Wilson and L. Rogers, to tell what they know of the alleged plot. COTTON COMPRESS BURNED. About One Thousand Bales of Fleecy Staple a Total Loss. The cotton compress at Toccoa, Ga., together with about 1,000 bales of cotton and ten freight cars loaded with merchandise, cotton seed meal and guano, was burned at an early hour Wednesday morning. The compress, compress warehouses, cotton, cars and contents, are a total loss. Considerable damage was done to other cars before they could be moved, while other property of minor importance suffered. The total damage will approximate $100,000, and it is understood that the entire loss is covered by insurance. Wage Proposition of Southern Railway Is Accepted. The committee of five representing the telegraphers and station agents of the Southern railway has agreed to accept the wage scale of that road. The scale, as agreed upon, does not contemplate a minimum or maximum wage, but has been adjusted with a view of fitting each individual case. Savannah Citizens Must Answer to False Swearing. The grand jury of the United States court at Savannah, Ga., Wednesday afternoon returned twenty indictments, sixteen of which were in joint form, against persons charged with violations of the naturalization laws. The indictments were "for swearing falsely to affidavits and applications for citizenship." The offenses are alleged to have been committed variously in 1904 and 1905. One man pleaded guilty as soon as indictments were returned. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. MARCH 17, 1906. OVER THOUSAND DIE Frightful Mine Horror Occurs in Northern France. MEN SUFFOCATEANDBURN Of Nearly Eighteen Hundred Coal Diggers Caught In Explosion Only Six, Hundred Escaped Horri- A Paris special says: A mining catastrophe of incalculable horror and magnitude has stricken the great coal center of northern France. An explosion of fire damp at seven o'clock Saturday morning carried death and destruction throughout the net work of coal mines centered at Courrières. Fire followed the explosion, making rescue difficult and almost impossible. All France has been profoundly shocked by the magnitude of the disaster, which is said to be the greatest in the history of continental mining. President Fallieres sent his secretary, accompanied by Minister of Public Works Gautier and Minister of the Interior Dublef on a special train to the scene of the disaster. The scene of the catastrophe is the mountainous mining region near Leus, in the department of Pas de Calais. Here are huddled small hamlets of the mine workers, who operate the most productive coal mines in France. The subterranean chambers form a series of tunnels. Six of the outlets are near Lens and others at Courriers, Verdun and many other points. The output of these mines is particularly combustible, and is largely used in the manufacture of gas and in smelting. About 2,000 miners work the group of mines and with their families make a population of from 6,000 to 8,000 souls. The catastrophe took place shortly after 1,795 men had descended into the mine early Saturday morning. There was a deafening explosion, which was followed by the cages and mining apparatus being hurled from the mouth of the Courriers mine. Men and horses near by outside the mine were either stunned or killed. The roof of the mine office was torn off. Immediately following the explosion flames burst from the mouth of the pit, driving back those who sought to enter and dooming those within. The work of attempting to rescue the imprisoned miners was hastily begun by officials, engineers and miners from the surrounding mines, who formed parties and made heroic efforts to obtain details to force back the gendarmes who kept them from the mouth of the pit. Later dispatches state that the worst fears as to the enormity of the disaster have been realized. The death list numbers 1,100, and the whole of the region stands appalled at the terrible tragedy which has brought sorrow to 6,000 fathers, mothers, wives and children. The vast mortuary camp is under military guard, four hundred soldiers having arrived there to assist in holding in check the crowds of distracted mourners. Ministers of Public Works Gautier, Minister of the Interior Dublef and the secretary of President Fallieres remain on the ground endeavoring to comfort the distressed families of the miners. President Fallieres has given $2,000 to aid in relief measures. The ministry will add a further sum to this, and the chamber of deputies will be asked to vote $100,000 for the purpose of alleviating distress. Ministers Gautier and Dublef have received complete details of the catastrophe from M. Lavaurs, the director of the mine. "Of 1,600 miners who were down in the plits when the explosion occurred," he said, "673 were working in Plt No. 4; 482 were in Plt No. 3; 571 were in Plt No. 2, and the remainder were in Plt No. 10. BEG TAFT TO HOLD OFF. Secretary's Friends Don't Want Him to Go on Supreme Bench. From all parts of the country telegrams and letters are pouring in upon Secretary of War Taft at Washington, urging that he do not accept the place upon the supreme court bench tendered him by President Roosevelt. The Secretary is in a quandary. He has always aspired to a place upon the highest court of the land, but he is being urged to remain at his present post by those interested in the Panama canal and the Philippines. CADET OFFICERS BIFFED. They Uphold and Winked at Hazing, Declares Report Formulated by House Subcommittee. A Washington dispatch says: The subcommittee named by the house committee of naval affairs to investigate hazing at Annapolis, Md., delivered its report the whole committee Tuesday through Representative Vreeland of New York, chairman of the investigating committee. Rear Admiral Brownson is censured in the report for exacting a pledge from midshipmen not to engage in hazing and for allowing the boys to think the pledge was personal to him and did not hold after Rear Admiral Sands became superintendent at Annapolis. Lieutenant C. P. Snyder is also censured mildly for having countenanced hazing. Graduated punishment for hazing is recommended by the subcommittee, which is firmly of the opinion that expelling all midshipmen found guilty of hazing is vicious. Rear Admiral Sands and other officers now at the academy are praised for the discipline they are maintaining, and the report shows that cadet officers have been chiefly responsible for hazing. As a result of its examination of witnesses and records the subcommittee found that 281 members of the three upper classes at the academy, including the class which was recently graduated, have been guilty of hazing, and on trial could be expelled. The result would be a great and unnecessary loss to the government, in the opinion of the members of the committee, who found that many of the offenses were trivial. The investigation of the committee shows that there were three forms of hazing at Annapolis — physical hazing, running and fagging. They are described at length in the report. The physical hazing consists of fighting, compelling midshipmen to stand on their heads and other much discussed means of punishment. Fagging is the forcing of under-classmen to do menial service for upper-classman. Running is the forcing of under-classmen to do ridiculous feats. One of the most popular performances under this classification was giving an exact imitation of sunrise on the farm, which consisted of imitation of roosters and other domestic fowls. Under the forms of physical hazing, sitting on infinity was one of the most common practiced. It was generally practiced at meal time and was the forcing of a midshipman to maintain a sitting posture after his chair was withdrawn from under him. Cadet officers 'tolerated all such practices, and, in fact, encouraged them, according to the report of the subcommittee. Forcing youngsters to do such things was one of the most cherished rights of the first classmen entrusted with maintaining discipline. WOMEN AND CHILDREN SLAIN. Amazons Took Part in Fight Between Moros and Soldiers. Major General Wood, who has arrived in Manila, has announced that he assumed full responsibility for the fight against the Moros at Dajo Hill, near Jolo. He said that there was no wanton destruction of women and children in the fight, though many of them were killed by force of necessity, because the Moros used them as shields in the hand-to-hand fighting. Major General Wood declared that many of the women wore male attire and their sex could not be distinguished. Another confusing cause was the desperation with which the women fought, the priests having worked all of the Moros to a religious frenzy. Many of the Moros felgued death and butchered the American hospital men who were relieving the wounded. General Wood said: "Neither, in this nor any fight has an American soldier killed a woman or child except in a close action when it was impossible to distinguish sex." Secretary Taft cabled for a full explanation concerning the deaths of the women and children, and General Wood has sent a lengthy reply, of which the foregoing is the substance. FRENCH CABINET RESIGNS. Government Defeated in Minor Debate Over Church Law. A Paris special says: Like a bolt from a clear sky, the Rouvier ministry was defeated in the chamber of deputies Wednesday and immediately resigned. The defeat of the government came on a comparatively minor debate over the church disorders. The government succeeded in holding only 234 votes, while the various elements in opposition — clericals, socialists and nationalists—united and polled 267 votes, thus placing the ministry in a minority of 33. HISSED RECORDER When He Bound Mrs. Standifer Over for Murder. Shouts from the Bench That People Who Hissed Him Were Themselves Lawbreakers — Public Sympathy With Woman. On the charge of murder, Mrs. Willie Standifer, who shot and killed her sister, Miss Chapell Whisenant, was remanded to jail without bail by Recorder Broyles in the Atlanta pollic court Saturday afternoon, and Marion Standifer, the cause of the shooting, was held in a $1,000 bond for adultery. The investigation by the recorder was replete with sensational features. Spectators crowded into the room until every space was full and many stood behind the recorder's desk. The first witness was Annie Williams, the negro woman who cooks for D. P. Durham, of 261 South Boulevard, at whose home the killing took place. She was followed by Mr. and Mrs. Durham, Mr. Durham made a lengthy statement in which he said that Standifer had been paying attention to Miss Whisenant for a long time. He said that Mrs. Standifer was terribly jealous. The next witness was James Bilbro, a negro who drove the carriage in which Standifer and Miss Whisenant rode on the night preceding the tragedy. He said he carried the couple on a long drive, going very slowly, and stopped at 7 Collins street, a house of ill fame, where the man and woman got out and remained about half an hour. Mrs. Standifer made a statement. She was perfectly calm and collected. She told the story of the shooting, and said that she did not know how many times she fired, as she had never used a pistol before. "I talked with my sister," she said, "and she taunted me with the statement that my husband loved her. I begged her to reform, and she laughed in my face. When I found out that only scorn and derision were to be the answer to my pleading, I drew the pistol and fired at her." This closed the evidence and Attorney Madison Bell made a talk to the recorder. When he said that no twelve men in the state would find her guilty of murder there was so much applause that, the clerk had to rap for order. Attorney: Bell shook his finger in the face of Standifer and said: "There sits the real murderer. In all my experience at the bar I have never heard of or seen a more cold-blooded fellow than this man, who is the cause of the death of a young woman. Look at him. He is absolutely indifferent. He has not shed a tear or shown the least emotion. There is only one regret in this sad affair and it is that the enraged wife did not turn her pistol upon her recreant husband instead of her deluded sister." Attorney Westmoreland followed Mr. Bell with a few remarks in which he declared that the recorder should establish a precedent in Georgia to protect the sincity and purity of the homes. He said if a man had the right to kill to protect his home, how much more had a woman the same right. He referred to the Saftford case in Rome, in which a man had to protect his fireside. "We have an unwritten law in the south," he said, "and to that law we now appeal." Applause again broke out in the court room, which was suppressed by the clerk. Recorder Broyles said in a loud and clear voice: "This is a most deplorable affair. I deeply sympathize with the woman, but the law is the law and we must respect it. If her husband and her sister had violated the law she could have had them arrested." "But, your honor," interrupted Attorney Westmoreland, "remember what a scandal that would have caused, and that this poor woman thought of that." "Yes, that may have been so," replied the recorder, "but she has violated the law and so has the man. I will hold him in a $1,000 bond for adultery and fornication. Mrs. Standifer I will hold for murder and commit her to the tower without ball." There was loud hissing in the court room, and the clerk rapped for order. "You people who have hissed me," called out the recorder, "are such as would commit a burglary or a highway robbery if you thought you wouldn't be caught. You do not care for the law." SUSAN ANTHONY DEAD. Noted Advocate of Woman Suffrage Passes to, the Beyond After Long and Eventful Career. The long and eventful life of Susan B. Anthony ended at her home in Rochester, N. Y., at 12:45 o'clock Monday morning. The end came peacefully. Miss Anthony had been unconscious practically for twenty-four hours, and her death had been momentarily expected. Only her wonderful constitution kept her alive; her attending physician said Miss Anthony died of heart failure, induced by double pneumonia. She had had serious valvular heart trouble for the last six or seven years. Her lungs were practically clear, and the pneumonia had yielded to treatment, but the weakness of her heart prevented her recovery. In spite of her eighty-six years, her mind to within a day of her death had been clear and strong, and even in her last sickness she was actively engaged in planning for the future. Since she retired from the presidency of the suffrage party about three years ago, Miss Anthony has traveled widely and lectured more than was wise for one of her age. This year she went to Baltimore, and it was this journey that overtaxed her strength. She was attacked by neuralgia, and had to take to her bed. She was obliged to cancel an obligation to attend a dinner given in her honor in New York city, as symptoms of pneumonia were detected. It was difficult for her to give up, and she insisted on going to New York, even in the face of her doctor's warning. She became suddenly weaker, however, and was forced to take to her bed. Miss Anthony was greatly beloved in Rochester, which had been her home since 1845. She lived to see a decided change in sentiment from the time in the winter of 1861, when she was hissed and hooted when she attempted to give a lecture on abolition in Corinthian hall. FRAUD ORDER IS ISSUED. Postal Authorities Allege Preacher is Defrauding Ex-Slaves. A Washington dispatch says: Postmaster General Cortelyou has issued a fraud order against a certain Rev. Isaac L. Walton of Savannah, Ga., charged with being head of a scheme to defraud credulous colored people of the southern states. Walton is, or was until recently, head of an organization which has headquarters in several parts of the south, purporting to have for its object the securing of pensions for ex-slaves. At least, such is the report of the inspectors, who have caused several fraud orders to be issued in the past against the order, which is known by various names, such as the Independent Order of the National Industrial Council of America, Fraternal. Rev. Walton, say the inspectors, has a bad habit of distributing the money he gets through the mail from applicants among a few of his close friends and himself. Most of it, however, went into his own pocket. The head of this order promised the authorities last December that he would have nothing more to do with the organization, and would not connect himself with any scheme for securing pensions for ex-slaves in use of the malls, but it is reported that he has broken his word, and is at it once more. The fraud order has now been issued against all of his personal mall, with the hope of putting a final stop to the plan. Other Explosions are Feared in Deadly Coal Pits in France. A Paris special says: All rescue work has been suspended at the Courrières pits, where over a thousand miners lost their lives on Saturday, owing to the danger of gases and the emanatings from decomposing bodies. The engineers fear another explosion, and therefore they ordered up the relief gangs Monday morning. The engineers will attempt to ventilate the chambers before attempting further rescues. LUMBER DEALERS MEET. Exclusion of Newspaper Men Was First Action Taken. The retail lumber dealers of Louisiana and Mississippi began their annual convention in Jackson, Miss., Tuesday, 150 delegates being present. One of the first resolutions adopted was to exclude all newspaper men from the hall, and, in view of the fact that the legislature recently declared the organization a trust, this is taken to mean the public is not to be advised of action taken by the convention. The lumber men deny, however, being in a trust. The Guaranty Aid and Relief Society long an old Ten Thousand Dollar, and which are held by the State of Georgia, by authority and under the provisions of an Act of the General Assembly, approved October 28d, 1887, and amended December 20th, 1897.

Colonel Livingston has been notified by the postoffice department that full county rural delivery service is to be installed in DeKalk, Walton and Rockdale. He will follow this up at once in the counties of Douglas, Campbell and Clayton, the department having given him assurance it will reach these counties as soon as possible Will Woo Queen Alberta. Will Woo Queen Alberta. Another big peach orchard is to be planted on Pine Mountain, near Warm Springs, Ga. An Ohio gentleman has just made an investigation of the situation there, and, after studying the soil and climate, and noting the success attained by the others engaged in fruit culture in that section, has decided to woo Queen Alberta himself. * * * An Acquittal for Tim McBride. The jury in the case of Tim McBride, at Savannah, charged with murder, after being out less than an hour, returned a verdict of not guilty. The young man was congratulated upon the result by a host of friends. Tim McBride was tried on the charge of having murdered "Babe" Dyer, one of three brothers who one afternoon last month became engaged in a political fight in front of the city hall with Plumbing Inspector McKenna. * * * New Agricultural School A new agricultural school is to be founded in connection with the splendid high school of Kuharlee, in Bartow county. The Euharlee Farmers' Club is behind the movement, and it will give it hearty support, the Bartow county farmers believing that it means a great deal for their children. It is the intention of the Euharlee citizens to have a tract of about thirty acres, for experiment purposes, bought for the school immediately, and the work will be commenced when the school session begins in the fall.

Members of the club generally say that they propose to elect Mr. Howell president at the April meeting, and already many of his friends have been to him and urged him to accept the position. Mr. Howell, however, has told them that it was against his wishes. In spite of this many of the members say there is no doubt he will be chosen. More Immigrants Assured. Arrangements are now under way which, with their completion, will mean much to the best interests of Georgia and the south in securing more labor and new immigrants for the development of the wonderful natural resources of this section. For a long time there has been a certain lack of co-operation among the roads of the south in the matter of bringing settlers into this section of the country. It is reported that the matter is now in the hands of a committee for the purpose of bringing about some agreement which will be acceptable to all parties concerned and will make possible the working of immigration business to the south as it never has been done before. A New Railroad. A new south Georgia railroad, the Statesboro and Midville, has received a charter and surveyors will be sent out at once to lay off the route of the proposed road. The company will be capitalized at $50,000, with the privilege of increasing this by vote of the stockholders to an amount not exceeding $300,000. The road which it is proposed to build will extend from Statesboro, in Bulloch county, to Louisville, in Jefferson county, a distance of about 60 miles. It will pass through Gaufield also. The country in which the road is to be laid is one of the richest agricultural sections of the state and contains immense tracts of magnificent uncut forest. The promoters of the project, who are all Savannah men, expect that practically all of the right of way will be donated. It is believed that the road can be built very cheaply and that it will result in the development of one of the richest sections, naturally, in the entire state of Georgia. Required to Take Oath.

Britons Seek Georgia Lands. A gentleman in position to know, who has for several years been connected with the land interests of Norman W. Dodge in Laurens, Montgomery and Dodge counties, states that a large syndicate of Englishmen is now negotiating with Mr. Dodge for the purchase of about 150,000 acres. The syndicate represents English cotton mill men and, while nothing definite is known, it is not thought unlikely that their purpose is to cultivate all this large tract of land in cotton. Their plan may also be to establish cotton mills near by. The Dodge interest comprises some of the finest land for the raising of cotton in the south. Most of the timber has been cut from it and it would take only a short time to have it producing thousands of bales of cotton. Railroad Commission's Report. In its thirty-third annual report the state commission gives a brief history of the work done during the past year, much of which, such as the reduced stove rates and the reduced local rates on the Southern, Central and Ccast Line, is tied up in litigation in the United States courts.

A comparatively new feature of the railroad commission's report is its recommendation that it be given authority to require the railroads of this state to run extra passenger trains whenever their regular trains are out of schedule time. The commission's report shows that there were 6,424.46 miles of railroad in Georgia on January 1, 1906, as against 6,220.31 on January 1, 1905. The gross earnings of all the railroads in the state in 1905 were $33,232,891.12 as against $30,742,015.50 in 1904; operating expenses were $23,303,670.51 as against $21,774,925.37; net earnings $10,016,074.15 as against $9,026,644. The percentage of operating expenses to gross earnings was 70.50 per cent as against 70.83 per cent in 1904. SEEKS TO RECOVER LOST CASH. Man Beaten at Horse Race Game Appeals to the Courts.

Condemned convicts Harry Vaughn, Zeorge Ryan and Ed Raymond, found guilty of having murdered Prison Guard John Clay in the prison mutiny of November 24 last, were sentenced in the circuit court at Jefferson City, Mo., Saturday morning by Judge Martin to be hanged on April 20. LITTLE DANGER OF A SHOCK. Necessary Acrobatic Feat Hardly Likely to Be Performed. Ono day an electric car was detailed on the main street. The conductor went to a nearby office and telephoned for the work gang. When he returned to the scene of the accident he saw that the passengers were on one side of the track with the exe- המשתמש tion of one lady, who seemed to be afraid to cross the rails. When the conductor drew near she asked, ja a timid voice: "Would I get a shock if I put my foot on that rail?" pointing to the nearest one. "No, madam," answered the conductor, politely. "Not unless you put your other foot on the trolley wire."—Exchange. Creeks' Medicine Man. The medicine man of the Creeks will not eat anything scorched in cooking; in treating a gun or arrow wound he as well as the patient will fast four days, only drinking a little gruel. He will not allow a woman to look at his patient until he is well or dead. If his patient dies-the medicine man takes a lot of medicine himself in order to cleanse himself from the fumes or odor of the dead. The pall-bearers, as we might call those assisting in the burial, also take the same cleansing process. And again when an Indian committed murder, even in self-defense, he went to the medicine man and took the cleansing remedy, claiming the remedy appended the crime and the trouble to his mind. The medicine man has a horror of women, keeping out of their company as much as possible. At the full of each moon it was the custom of the bucks to drink medicine made by the medicine man to cleanse their system. In camp the Indian killed nothing which was not eatable.—Indian Journal.

Sailor's Brave Act Saved Lives. A daring and heroic act was performed by an unknown sailor during a fire in Liverpool, Eng., a few days ago. The outbreak occurred at a sheep-dip factory, in which a large quantity of sulphur was stored. A number of workmen were engaged in one of the top rooms of the building, and were overcome by the burning chemicals. A sailor who was passing along the street and heard of the danger of the men, at once climbed to the roof of the burning building by way of a top story window in the next premises. He tore off some of the slates, and knocked a hole in the ceiling of the room in which the overpowered men lay, thus giving an outlet for the escape of the fumes. Meanwhile the fire brigade had arrived, and promptly placing the escape against the window, rescued the men, five in all, from the room. Work Demanded of Architects When a new cathedral or a new college is to be built it is well that architects should compete for it, for then, other things being equal, the best man gets the job and the best possible kind of building is assured. Few persons, though, realize what it costs an architect to enter a competition. They do not understand the time and labor that must be devoted to the design, the estimates, etc. There is one firm of architects in New York that spent $2,500 last year on a single competition. This firm entered ten competitions altogether, winning four of them, and the total cost to do it was $7,000. REASONING POWER OF ANIMALS. Authenticated Instances Prove Possession of Brains. The president of a society for the prevention of cruelty to animals is collecting instances of animal reasoning. The following are instances he has authenticated: A banker had a jackdaw that was interested in croquet. As soon as the bird heard the click of the ballis he would swoop down and watch the game attentively from a hedge. And when the players stopped the jackdaw would begin to play himself. He would take a ball and push it with beak and claws toward the "cage," or middle wicket, and he could not be content with merely putting the ball through—he would work away till he had succeeded in ringing the bell that hung from the cage's top. A Philadelphia elephant is fond of cakes. Often when a cake is thrown to him it will lodge under the bar of his house in such a way that neither he nor the thrower can reach it. In this dilemma the elephant always puts his trunk down near the cake and blows it out upon the floor, whence the thrower may again heave it. An old bay mare had a field to herself. One day a lot of calves intruded upon her privacy. The mare looked at the calves in amazement. Then she went slowly around the field until she found the gap in the fence through which they had come in. Now she steered the intruders one by one to the gap and taking each by the back of the neck shoved it forth into the road again. Hotel Bellboy Was Thoroughly "On to His Job." Sam Groves, who was for many years an attache of the Wilson house A man in a coat is standing in a room with a wall decorated with stars. He is facing another man who is standing in front of a table with a tray of bottles. The man in the coat is gesturing with his hands, while the man in the table is looking at him with a surprised expression. in North Adams, was well known to the travelling public. Back in the seventies Gen. B. F. Butler often stopped at the Wilson, and was well known to Sam. One evening he arrived, and, after going to his room, rang for some liquid refreshment. Sam soon'appeared with a tray' bearing two bottles and two glasses. Gen. Butler remonstrated' rather strongly and asked Sam why he brought two. Sam replied: "I di-di-didn't th-th-think' you wanted to dr-dr-drink alone, general." Sam had his drink.—Boston Herald. The Three Oldest Sisters. The claim has recently been made that M. H. Goodrich, 88 years old, of Hot Springs, S. D.; Mrs. S. A. Ten Eyck, age 83, of Rodman, Ia., and Mrs. Jane Sprnberger, age 80, of Dodgeville, Wis., are the oldest sisters in the United States, their combined ages being 251 years, average 83.66. This vicinity, however, has three sisters who can beat that Mrs. Abbie M. A. Midget of Rome is $2, a sister, Mrs. Caroline H. Foster, formerly of Hartford, Conn., is $4, and Mrs. Harriet H. Glis, formerly of Troy, age $9. The last two now live on the old homestead at Houseville, Lewls county. Their combined ages is 255, average $8 each. In addition to this aged brother, Moseley L. House, aged $6, lives on the old homestead at Houseville.—Utica, N. Y., Dispatch. Skillful Work of Surgeon. Losing control of her bicycle, a lady was recently thrown through a shop window in London and the tip of her nose was cut off by the broken glass. Twenty minutes afterwards, the missing part was taken to a local doctor and after placing it in warm water, he scitched it into its proper position. There is now nothing abnormal to be seen about the nose, except a slight mark near the nostril. Tree on Castle Rcof. 田 The Castle in Colchester, Essex county, England, beside its historic interest, has a good sized oak tree that has been growing for years on the roof. Colchester has been one of the principal garrison towns in England for centuries and is to-day the largest recruiting station between London and York. FATHER WAS NOT PARTICULAR. Anyway, What Was One Michael, More or Less? The father of a large family in Boston took his fourteenth child to the church to be christened. On entering the church, and while preparations were being made, the priest asked him by what name he would like to call the child. The father said he had forgotten A the name the family had chosen, so the priest mentioned several, which were not the right ones. At last the father agreed to call it Michael, so when the ceremony was finished and the people were leaving he turned to the priest and said: "I don't know what my wife will say, for we have Michael at home, and this is a girl." Remarkable Bridges. Among the many old nooks and corners and crannies of the auld Emerald Isle is Carrick-a-rede, on the Great Northern railroad, of Ireland. It is an isolated rock, separated from the mainland by a chasm sixty feet wide and more than eighty feet deep, and it is at this place that the salmon are intercepted in their retreat to the rivers. A rude bridge of ropes is thrown across, which remains during the fishing season, and this bridge, which is protected by a single rope rail, swings about in the most uncomfortable manner, often rendering it a dangerous feat in stormy weather, save to the natives, who cross it with the utmost indifference. The name is derived from "Carrig-a-ramhadh" (the rock in the road) on account of the intercepting of the salmon. Near by, on the west side of the island, is a cavern in which have been found the bones of horse, ox, deer, sheep, goat, badger, otter, water rat and of several kinds of birds. At the Top of the Pole The New York Herald publishes a dispatch from Eagle City (Alaska) stating that Capt. Amundsen says that Lieut. Hansen made observations within ninety miles of the magnetic pole, and believes that he passed over A man falling from a roof is struck by a lightning bolt. it. But the movements of the needle made the result uncertain, and admitted the possibility of other deductions from these movements. Youth's Forbearance Well/Paid. Irving D. Froelich of Newark reached his majority yesterday and smoked his first cigar "on his dad." Papa Samuel Froelich, who is the head of a big wholesale liquor firm, told the boy when he was 15 years old that he would give him $1,000 if he would refrain from smoking until he became of age. Yesterday when the boy reached the office he found his desk decorated with flowers and his father handed him a box of cigars with two $500 bills under the cover. Irving says that he does not care to smoke and offers to hold off for another twenty-one years at the same price.—New York Sun. Catching Turtles. A curious mode of catching turtles is practiced in the West Indies. It consists in attaching a ring and a line to the tail of a species of sucker-fish, which is then thrown overboard, and immediately makes for the first turtle he can spy, to which he attaches himself very firmly by means of a sucking apparatus arranged on the top of his head. The fisherman then hauls both turtle and sucking-fish in. Lived on Three Cents a Day. Father Aoby, the most remarkable miser in Europe, has died at Berne. He shunned society, and lived in a dillaplated house on bread and water. He never bought new clothes, and he limited his personal expenses to 3 cents a day. A search of his house revealed gold and securities worth about $575,000. HORSE ENDS LIFE BY HANGING. Jealous Lest Another Horse Might Take His Place, Owner Says. "Yes, it was jealousy that drove my faithful old horse to suicide," said W. W. Farrar of Auburn, Me., yesterday, as he hitched his team in front of the grocery store on Spring street. The horse had been owned by Mr. Farrar for many years and had grown attached to his master. When a second horse was bought by the grocer, a purchase made necessary by increasing business, the old horse showed signs of uneasiness and extreme dislike for the newcomer. The old horse ill-treated the other by stealing his hay and grain and annoying him in many ways. Mr. Farrar went to the stable to harness up the old horse and found him dead, with his head through a hole in the side of the stall and his body resting on the floor. "Suicide by hanging," says Mr. Farrar.—New York World. DROPPED KEY OVER TRANSOM. Laughable Act of Man Suddenly Awakened From Sleep. Two well known Portland (Me.) men, L. J. Carney and Thomas L. King, roomed together at the Preble house in that city. One evening Mr. Carney retired before Mr. King, and the latter on arriving rather late at the room found the door locked, the key on the inside and his friend snoring loudly. After repeatedly pounding on the door and awakening the other guests he succeeded in arousing his roommate. Mr. Carney jumped out of bed, and after climbing on a chair, managed after considerable trouble to force open the transom. Then he passed 3 the key 'out to King, and sleepily said he was awful sorry for locking him out. But King felt more than satisfied, as he roared at the ridiculous performance of his half-awake roommate. Pocorn Prize a Diamond A handsome diamond was the bargain obtained by somebody who bought a sack of popcorn at Webster's confectionery store, Minneapolis. Webster had an unusually busy evening, and just before the rush began he took his diamond ring from his finger and, placing it in a sack, laid it away on a shelf. He paid no more attention to the jewel until closing time, when he decided to put on the ring again. He could find no trace of it, and as the sack was gone from the shelf he knew it would be useless to look further. He is convinced that in a moment of forgetfulness he filled the sack with popcorn and handed it to some purchaser. Unless the lucky customer swallowed the diamond he probably thinks he was the winner in a prize package contest.New York Herald. Bird That Shaves. Man is not the only living creature that shaves. The bonmot, a South American bird, talks a dry shave regularly. The bonmot has long blue tail feathers. Each quill is adorned from base to tip with soft blue down. This arrangement the bird dislikes. Therefore, with its sharp beak, it nips the quills bare from the base out to about an inch from the glip, where it maintains a neat oval of soft blue whisker. Such action seems silly on the bonmot's part. To certain philosopers, though, it seems no siller than man's action in regularly scraping bare his cheeks and chin, while he maintains on his upper lip an oval of soft hair not unlike the bonmot's tail oval. Veil's Borders. These patterns were favorites for veil borders among the beauties of classic Greece and Rome. Mules Are Good Travelers. B. B. Wenger at Royalton, Penn., owns a pair of mules with good traveling and staying powers. He made a glxy-mile round trip with them from his home to Joinstown and return on Sunday, covering the trip one way in four hours. WHERE ASTRONOMER WON FAME. Marla Mitchell's Observatory Still Standing at Lynn, Mass. With the recent announcement that a niche had been reserved in the Hall of Fame for Miss Marla Mitchell, formerly of Lynn, Mass., and one of the foremost astronomers in the country, came a returning interest in THE HOME OF THE HUNTERS the place where she prosecuted her studies, and where for many years she was to be found almost every pleasant night. With the removal of an old dwelling near the corner of Broad and Green streets, there came into view from the street an old wooden building much resembling a mammoth beehive, with a conical roof. This is the observatory where this candidate for fame pursued her "heaven-y" studies and each night scanned the sky for some new discovery. The building is about a story and a half in hight, with a flight of stairs leading up to the entrance which is situated on the main floor some distance from the ground. Above the door is the conical roof. This is ball bearing, revolving on several cannon balls. A silt in the roof admits of the use of the telescope. The instrument long since was removed and the place is now used as a storehouse. The building is in a good state of repair, the shingles being all close fitting and in place, while the stairs leading to the door are as good as ever. Paris Hat. One of the millinery eccentricities fashionable in Paris has a sweeping brim surmounted by a high waving plume. The French satin model sketched above shows various shades of mouse brown and gold. Violet Always in Bloom. It was a violet tree—a tree two feet high, thick with foliage and covered with some thirty or forty purple flowers. "The violet tree is new," the florist said. "The idea comes from France. The tree blooms all the year. "The ordinary violet is an annual. But with careful nursing it is possible in two years to turn it into a small and ever-blooming tree such as you see. "I have a dozen violet trees. They cost $5 aplece. In the spring and early summer they are covered with 250 or 300 flowers. They are never without twenty-five or more blooms." London and New York. In spite of the fact that Londo exceeds New York in size by some 2,500,000, the latter city is said to be the greatest purchasing municipality on the face of the earth. Wages are some three times higher in New York than in Londo, but the cost and standard of living are also higher. Must Have Purchased Venison A Stowe, Vermont, man who swelled and puffed for two hours during the recent open season only to find the animal he was pursuing was a pig, gave a venison supper the other evening, and by mutual understanding nothing was said about the porker. POISONS NOT ALWAYS DEADLY. In the Hands of Physicians Some Make Valuable Remedies. "The venom of the rattlesnake has been known to cure locomotor ataxia and scarlet fever," said a chemist. "Homeopathic physicians often prescribe it. "You know the curara, the deadly poison that the South American Indians smear on their arrow tips? Well curara is very helpful in hydrophobia "There is a seaweed called 'bladder-wrack.' They make of this an antifat, a marvelous antifat. By the use of this antifat I know a man who reduced his weight forty pounds in three months. "There is a deadly fungus, the fly agaric, which unfortunate people sometimes eat in mistake for mushrooms. They make a medicine of the fly argaric, a medicine called muscarine nitrate, which, injected under the skin, causes a copious flow of tears. French actresses in weeping scenes—such as 'La Dame aux Camellias' sometimes use this drug. "Cocaine causes wakefulness. I once worked forty-eight hours at a stretch, thanks to cocaine. "Coca stimulates, exhilarates and removes all desire for food or drink. An Alpine guide will chew fifty or sixty grains of it before commencing a difficult ascent." Sixteen Feet of Snow No Great Moment for Winnipegers. The men in the fur cap let it be known that he was from Winnipeg, and he was presently asked: "You have pretty hard winters there, don't you?" "Yes, pretty hard." "And great falls of snow?" "Yes, a good deal of snow." Everybody Made Use of Stilts Eighteen Feet High. "How deep did you ever see it?" "Well, two years ago it was 16 feet deep on the level, and stood that way for a month." "Why, all the houses must have been snowed in to the second-story windows and the streets rendered impassable?" "Yes, but we had an easy way of getting around," said the Canadian. "Everybody made use of stilts 18 feet high, you see, and sawed them off as the snow settled down." Parisian Jeweler's Work of Art Parisian Jeweler's Work of Art. A wonderful work of art entitled the "Way of life," is the masterpiece of a Parisian jeweler was exhibited in London recently. It is a monument some nine feet wide at the base, and as many feet high. It is made of onyx and unpolished marble, to which are added much gold, stones, diamonds and rubles, and other precious stones, besides 150 figures cut in ivory and gold. As the legend runs, it is an attempt to depict artistically, and with the help of precious stones and metals, the notions mankind may have of God and His nature, of created beings and of their nature, of the connection of created beings with each other, and of their connection with God our Maker." The exhibit took thirty years to complete—Montreal Herald. - False Teeth for Sailors. A dentist held up a set of false teeth. "See this stay here," he said, "this brace and this reinforcement? The set is for a sailor, and sailors' false teeth are always made extra strong, on account of the unconquerable salt beef and the granite ship biscuit that are eaten at sea. "On his beef and biscuit a sailor would crush ordinary false teeth in no time. He would chew them up and swallow them in mistake for ordinary food. "Hence false teeth for sea use are always reinforced with all manner of braces and backstays." Skillful Penmanship. A fancy head in which nothing but letters of the alphabet are employed.

Mr. Hill Corson killed a bald eagle down on Titl last week that measured seven feet and two inches from tip to tip of its wings and was big enough almost to carry off a grown sheep.—De Funlk Breeze. SUBSCRIPTION RATES. One Year.....$1.25 Six Months.....75 Three Months.....50 Remittance must be made by Express or Post Office Money Order. or Registered Letter Advertising Rates given on application. This is an era of uplifting the masses; the thoughtful ones amongus should do well their part along this line. It is the purpose of THE TRIBUNE at all time to cater to and endeavor to retain the good will of the citizens when this can be done consistently. This purpose has always been maintained and no deviation will be knowingly made. THE TRIBUNE can not voice all of the sentiment expressed by its correspondents, especially when such sentiment is against its policy. THE great question that is being agitated at present is the paying of poll tax and registration by our men. The great necessity of paying this tax and register is apparent to every body and the reason for the same has been thrashed over many times. It is very necessary for our leading men to lead also in this respect. If a man fails to pay his tax and can not be induced to do so by plain reasoning, then no other method will reach him. AND now comes Col. Mercer again! Col. Mercer is president of the board of education of Onatham county, and succeeded the beloved E. C. Anderson, twenty three years ago. Col. Mercer has some fixed ideas on the race question that would be difficult to have him change, and his sincerity is apparent to those who have been keeping up with his sayings; yet, the good colonel does not always strike the chord that helps the colored people. He wants us to be "hewers of wood and drawers of water," and be strictly subservient to the white race. His talks have been in that direction and now he is taking another tack by forcing inculcation of that subserviency by causing the teachers to press it home to the children. Not satisfied with compelling the colored children to study histories and readers containing articles derogatory to the race, he has, it is stated, ordered the pupils of the public schools to sing "Goin' back to Dixie." No one objects to the air of "Dixie" with the proper words, but when Col. Mercer paraphrased it with reflective words, then it is time for our objections to be raised, and it should be raised in the way that would be telling. THE TRIBUNE dislikes encouraging the teachers to rebel against the colonel's orders, but they would not be helping the race and would be stultifying themselves in using the words as prepared, especially as contained in the third, fourth, fifth and sixth verses. Possibly we are taking the matter too serious, yet we would be recreant not to speak of it. Race Blotting at Springfield, O. The following is from the Boston Transcript and gives a clear view of the Springfield riot: I was pastor of the African M. E. church in that city for three years, and have been to Springfield almost every year for the past twenty-five years. I, therefore, have a personal knowledge of the people and conditions there. The press despatches tell us that portions of the city which have the scenes of mob violence, are those sections inhabited by low whites and Negroes. To use but one qualifying word in this sentence is incorrect. They might have more properly qualified it by saying low whites and low Negroes. When all the heat and excitement have subsided, what I express now will be found to be the truth. Springfield, like all other cities North and South where the two races live together, has its disreputable Negroes and its disreputable white people. These elements jin every part and section of the United States, consort together. But the root of the trouble in Springfield is by no means due to disreputable and vicious Negroes, it is due to the envy and jealousy of some of the whites of the thrift and prosperity of some of the blacks. In Springfield are located the great shops of P. P. Mast & Co., and those of Warder, Bushnell and Co., manufacturer of harvesting machinery, and farm implements of almost every description. The late Asa Bushnell, who was one time governor of Ohio and Mr. Whatley, who was a large manufacturer three years ago, refused to discriminate against colored men as to the position they held in their employment. White workingmen have, for years; sought in every possible way to have the heads of these firms employ Negroes only in a menial position as it is a general custom almost everywhere. This they have never consented to do. The result is that in those great establishments, colored men are employed as machinists paletors, carpenters and in fact in almost every capacity. Some of the leading blacksmiths of that city are colored men; one of the largest carriage manufacturer of that city, for years has been a colored man; one of the largest contractors in that city for more than twenty five years, was a colored man, and some of the largest and most substantial buildings there have been built by him; some of the best brick layers, plasters, carpenters, and stone cutters of that city are colored men, and in most cases, they are members of their respective labor unions. The deputy sheriff of the county in which Springfield is located (Clark County) has been for years a colored man; the turnkey of the jail has for many years, until recently, been a colored man; there are colored men on the police force; there are colored men members of the fire department. The schools there are mixed, colored and white children attend the same school and sit side by side. The homes of the colored people are not cabins as the despatches erroneously state, but are commodious cottages, some brick and some frame, not differing from the homes of other mechanics and people in like circumstances. When I was pastor there, out of a church membership of over 300, 137 of my members owned their homes. The fact that the trouble is not due to any viciousness upon the part of the colored people is further shown by the fact that among the homes that were burned was that of Mr Curry $ _{Y} $ a local preacher in the Methodist Church there and a man who has lived in that city for more than thirty years; another one of homes burned was that of Mr. Charles Filmore, formerly corporation clerk in the office of the Secretary of State at Columbus, Ohio, and now a clerk in one of the departments at Washington, a man who has always enjoyed the esteem and confidence of the best people of Springfield and in the State of Ohio. The great mass of the people of Springfield, both white and colored, are decent, industrious and law-abiding, but, as I have said, an element of the white people there has been envious for years of the thrift of the colored people as a whole, and they have taken advantage of this unfortunate shooting affair, as they did upon a former occasion, to heap yengeance not upon the lawless and disreputable colored people, but upon all colored people, regardless of their character. I send this statement to you' because our race, in this trying hour, when the enemies of our progress are seeking to discredit us before the American people and before the world, has no friends to lose, and for the further reason that such lawless scenes occurring in the north and in Ohio, will be used by some people in other parts of the country to discredit the noble stand which the North has ever taken for law, order and for justice in the courts, regardless of color or race. What is true of the intelligence and thrift of the colored people of Springfield, is true of them in the surrounding towns of Urbana, Dayton and Xenia. In the neighborhood of Springfield stands Willbefore University, the first and oldest college ever established in this country by the Negro race. The average of intelligence and character, as well as property owners, among Negroes, is perhaps higher within a radius of twenty miles of Springfield than it is over a like area anywhere else upon the face of the earth. It is a sad commentary upon the upward striving of my race that the lawless act of one or two disreputable members should call forth the vengeance of thousands of our neighbors who are mad against us because of the trades we have learned, the homes we have bought, and the intelligence with which we have husbanded our resources.

Representative from thirty-six counties, were present and started out from the First Baptist Church, Rev. Dr W. G. Johnson, pastor. Sixix-eight hacks, carriages and band wagons, left the church for the grounds, at 11 a.m. Many others went on trains, which ran within a mile of the ground. The grounds are situated between two railroads, about five miles from the city. The opening was attended by several hundred people.' The people were call together on the ground by Dr. P. J. Bryant, of Atlanta, Rev. Dr. A. D. Williams, of Atlanta, chairman of the executive board, called on Dr. Raford for prayer, after which the meeting was turned over to the president. Dr. Johnson then announced that he wanted a number of short speeches, from the representative ones as follows: Dr. WO Emory of Macon; Rev. R R Smith, of Columbus; Rev C H Young, Rev R B Burney, of Eastman; Rev M Singleton, of Macon; Rev R H Thomas, of Savannah; Dr J L Cowell, Dr J A Moore, Deacon Goosby of Atlanta; Dr P J Bryant, of Atlanta; Rev. J Frambo, Rev H D Martin, Mrs M A Wright, Rev Prof L P Pinckney, Mrs Dr J A Moore, Mrs Dr L Cowell, Deacon, B R Harroll of Eastman; Rev P R Turner; Rev H R Harrison, Rev Raford and others. Dr W J White and others contributed $10 and asked to be excused from speaking. Many of the above speakers pledged to contribute monthly moneys and other necessities for the success of the work. Prof. Kelsay is superintendent of the grounds and his bride, Miss Marie Jones, formerly of Columbus, Ga., and a graduate of the State Industrial College, she seems to be delighted with her new home and marriage contract. At night a reception was given at the Mt. Olive Church, Rev J E, T. Latimore pastor, by the ladies and their friends for the Women Home Mission Society. Some furniture and other necessities were given for the Reformatory. Mrs. P. J. Bryant, president of the Women Home Mission Society called on Rev R. R Smith, who spoke in the interest of the work, also Rev i H Thomas, Prof. King, Dr W J White and Mrs M A Wright. After which the president gave a very able and instructive lecture to the women, which if taken will be of great help to the race. The movement for the Colored State Fair is being widely discussed all over the state. Pres. R. R. Wright is receiving letters daily from prominent colored men assuring him o their hearty co-operation in his efforts to bring the colored people together in this worthy enterprise. The fair proposes to, show the progress of the colored people for the past 40 years. It is to be an occular demonstration of Negro development and progress along all lines. The aim of the fair is three-fold. The exhibition will bring before all the people of Georgia and the country in general the material educational and religious advance of the people. The fair movement is supported by the best and representative men the state of Georgia affords. At its head is Pres. R. R. Wright of the Georgia State Industrial College. There is no man in the state better prepared to direct the enterprise. Pres. Wright is at present organizing every county in the state. The fair is not a Savannah enterprise, while Savannah men are taking the initial in the movement, the fair is for all the people of the state. The place where the fair is to be held has not been decided upon. Applications are coming in from all over the state but as yet the matter is under advisement. Every city in state will be given an opportunity to bid for the fair. St. Philip's Dots. The attendance at each service on Sundays is increasing. Rev. Lindsay, D. D., our pastor, is one of the best theologians there is in the conference and his sermons are all very interesting and full of food for the thoughtful. Rev. Lindsay, preached morning and evening on last Sunday. Both sermons were instructive, and strengthening to the Christians. Several persons connected themselves with the church. The good work still goes on. Bishop Turner and several delegates in attendance at the Allen's League Convention, were the guests of Rev. Lindsay this week. St. Philip Church was well represented at the Allen's League Convention which convened at Bethel A. M. E. church The Allen's League Christian Endeavor, is in a prosperous condition; its membership is increasing right along. On last Sunday they rendered a very elaborate programme, aside from the regular League topic. Special music was rendered, Miss L. B. Perry is the president and Mrs. L. B. Reed is secretary. These two ladies are doing much good for the upbuilding of the League. A cordial invitation is extended to every body to attend the League meeting every Sunday afternoon at 4:30. Our revival meeting will begin next week. Our members are getting ready to wage war against sin and the devil. All Christians are invited to assist us in this good work. The usual services will be held on to-morrow. Union Baptist Church Services of Union Baptist Church. Church, Charles street, were largely attended on Sunday.

"In the midst of life there is death." Whereas it has pleased the Almighty God in His own wise providence to take out of our midst the soul of our deceased brother P. N. F. B. J. Gadsen on the morning of December 20, 1905. Whereas in his death we have lost one of our noble members and good law abiding citizen. In his church he was a worthy and consistent christian, in his family he was a devoted husband and in his lodge he was a loyal member. It is our lost but heaven's gain. Resolved, whereas we commit to our memory a memorial poem of our deceased brother B. J. Gadsen of Savannah Lodge No. 2892, G. U. O. of O. F. Hark! Listen and learn See! What he has earned. To our deceased one The battle has been won, Early in the twilight Game a flash of light Unto him a command was given And he ascended into heaven. While death's cold wave was blowing Stood a wife patiently waiting and watching She with tender heart was weeping With friends around her mourning. The manly form now prostrate lies The flashing eyes are dim, The hand raised for principle Touched by the monster grim Is laid upon the quiet breast The life work is finished, Eternal rest.

DuBois on "John Brown" One of the most cultured audiences that has ever greeted a lecturer, was at the Second Baptist church on Tuesday evening last to hear Dr. W. E. B. DuBois on "John Brown." On looking over the audience, no lover of the race could be less than inspired, and too, to note with what rapt attention each person paid the speaker. The well rendered solo of Mr. L. D. Thompson, was the beginning of the program, with prayer by Rev W. L. Cash, then the presentation of the speaker by President M. N. Work of the Men's Sunday Club. Without any prefatory remarks Dr. DuBois entered immediately into his subject. In an easy manner, clearly ranged voice that was distinctly audible in the farthest part of the church, void of unpleasant harshness, he depicted conditions in this country prior to the inaugurating of the slave traffic the evils of the same and the conditions of the slaves and some instances that were the cause of eliciting the sympathy of John Brown in the cause of which he fell a martyr. All of these things were told in a way that only a master of language and elocution is capable and which met the responsive chord of his hearers. It was again voiced in the rising testimony inaugurated by Pres. R. R. Wright of the State College. The lecture had a pleasing termination by the excellently and sweetly rendered duet by Miss Nettie Hous ton and Mrs. F. H Robinson. These two ladies are Savannah's favorite singers and always elicit the applause of their many admirers. Rev. R Bright pronounced the benediction after one of the greatest literary treats which the city was ever favored. Second Baptist Church Second Baptist Church.

Cash conducted the devotional services. Reys J. S. Jenkins, L. W. McMillan, W. L. Cash and Dr. J. A. Lindsay submitted sermonio reports. Considerable interest began to manifest itself when the frame work of Rev. McMillan's sermon appeared; on account of the Union failing to see how the subject matter could be deducted from the text, but it was made plain by the author when he showed the text as a hub with every thing else springing therefrom. Well Arranged for Trade. The need of a firstclass place where the best class of our people can go and enjoy a sparkling glass of cold soda water, delicious ice cream and sherbets has been apparent for quite awhile. Within the past two years several places catered to this class but did not make a specialty of it. THE TRIBUNE is glad to note that on or about the first of April Mr. Hosea Green will open just such a place under the Masonic Temple, West Gwinnett street. He has spared no pains nor expense in fitting up the large store on the east side of the building for this purpose. The store has been newly kalsomined, thoroughly renovated and furnished in an up to date manner. A number of small tables have been secured with plenty of chairs to accommodate any number of patrons. In the front many of these tables will be neatly arranged with a dainty counter, shelves and show cases and where the pretty soda water fountain will be placed. A back parlor is also arranged in a cozy manner which will appeal to the most fastidious. Mr. Green is an adept at the business having been engaged in it for a number of years he understand fully well the decoction of drinks and the preparation of creams, sherbets, etc., that will tickle the palate of everybody. The location is in a popular part of the city and it will no doubt be well patronized by many. Mr. Green being of an afiable disposition and courteous will add a great deal to the drawing of constant patrons. Look out for the opening Scientific Embalmer. A. B.

Mrs. Pinkham is the daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham, and for many years underherdirection, and since her decease, she has been advising sick women free of charge. Many women suffer in silence and drift along from bad to worse, knowing full well that they ought to have immediate assistance, but a natural modesty impels them to shrink from exposing themselves to the questions and probable examinations of even their family physician. It is unnecessary. Without money or price you can consult a woman whose knowledge from actual experience is great. Mrs. Pinkham's Standing Invitation. Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters are received, opened, read and answered by women only.

Out of the vast volume of experience which she has to draw from, it is more than possible that she has gained the very knowledge that will help your case. She asks nothing in return except your good-will, and her advice has relieved thousands.

Traveled to Paris and Rome to Interview Owner of Land. A Russian peasant passed through Vienna on Christmas day on his way back from a long and tedious journey to Rome, where he had gone to perform what was, in the eyes of his self and the members of his village community, a duty of simple honesty and good faith. He was without baggage and was clad in the heavy clothing worn during the Russian winter. He stayed in Vienna only a few hours, and continued his journey to his community to report the success of his errand. The rural community of the district of Voronzh, in the government of the same name, recently held a well-attended meeting and passed resolutions to the following effect: First, to destroy no property in the district; second, to expel from the district at once a man named Nicolsky, the local agent of the Revolutionary party, and third, to purchase the holdings of the great landed proprietors of the district. The largest estate belonged to M. Narychkine, formerly first secretary of the Russian embassy at Paris and now Russian minister to the Vatican. In order to carry out the third resolution it was decided to send a messenger to M. Narychkine. He was believed to be in Paris, so a peasant named Nicolas Petrovitch Thermischeff was charged with the duty of conveying the peasants' offer to their lord. Thermischeff was supplied with money, and started on his journey. He talked nothing but Russian but in spite of this he managed to make his desires known along the line, and, with simple directness of purpose which won for him the sympathy and help of the foreign railroad officials, he made his way to the French capital. There he found the Russian Embassy. The first Russian words he had heard in a long time informed him that M. Narychkine was in Rome, so he at once decided to continue on to Italy. He was placed on the right train by his embassy in Paris, and finally found M. Narychkine in Rome. The peasant made his purpose known to the diplomat in simple language: "Our contract with you for the tilling of your ground expires on the first of January," he said, "and I have come to offer to buy the land. We do not wish you to have a bad opinion of us; we want you to know of the resolutions we have adopted. We are poor, our harvests have been bad, and the times are bad. We want to buy your entire estate, and we ask you to give it to us at a price which we can pay, and to make an equitable arrangement as to the method of payment. We desire to be honest, and we will not have recourse to violent or dishonest ways." M. Narychkine accepted the offer. A fair basis of valuation was arrived at, and terms as to payments possible and acceptable to the peasants were then and there concluded between the proprietor and the messenger of his tenants. In Rome Thermischeff saw the Pope, who gave him his blessing. In describing his interview with the Pontiff the peasant said: "I kneeled before him, for I perceived him to be a venerable, good, and saintly man." From Rome, Thernischeff travelled back to Russia by way of Vienna. He is a tall man, advanced in years, but sturdy and rugged, and his strong, clear-cut features suggest that directness of purpose which has led him far afield in foreign lands for the accomplishment of a simple duty. He minded one of the sterling men who lived under Peter the Great. Thernischeff had little to say of his impressions of foreign lands, but it was evident that he was returning to his fellows in Russia with the keenest satisfaction at being able to report to them the successful outcome of his mission.

Oh, he's getting on all right, too. He's a sort of a lawyer." "What's Jim doing?" he demanded. "Oh, Jim, he's doing fine; he's a sort of a preacher," said Mr. Carson, cheerfully. "And you keep right on here," said the old neighbor, with evident regret. the old neighbor, with evident regret. "Well, er, for the present," said Mr. Carson, apologetically.

AWFUL PSORIASIS 35 YEARS. Torrible Scaly Honor in Pathes All Over Body-Skin Cracked and Bleeding-Cured by Cutleura. "I was afflicted with psoriasis for thirty-five years. It was in patches all over my body. I used three cakes of Cuticura Soap, six boxes of Ointment and two bottles of Resolvent. In thirty days I was completely cured, and I think permanently, as it was about five years ago. The psoriasis first made its appearance in red spots, generally forming a circle, leaving in the centre a spot annot the size of a silver dollar of sound flesh. In a short time the affected circle would form a heavy dry scale of white silvery appearance, and would gradually drop off. To remove the entire scales by bathing or osing oil to soften them the flesh would be perfectly raw, and a light discharge of bloody substance would ooze out. That scaly crust would form again in twenty-four hours. It was worse on my arms and limbs, although it was in spots all over my body, also on my scalp. If I let the scales remain too long without removing by bath or otherwise, the skin would crack and bleed. I suffered intense itching, worse at nights after getting warm in bed, or blood warm by exercise, when it would be almost unbearable. W. M. Chidesther, Hutchinson, Kan, April 20, 1905."

One of the Curious Shiploads That Come Into New York Harbor. After a voyage from Auckland, New Zealand, around the Horn to New York, which ordinarily takes about 105 days, the German bar. Germania, Captain Himme, has reached Quarantine, only eighty-seven days from the Australasian port. The bark was chartered by L. C. Gillespie & Sous, to bring a load of several thousand cases of kauri gum, nearly all of which is for the trade of that firm. The gum, which is found only in New Zealand, is imported for use almost solely in the manufacture of high-class varnishes, only about ten per cent being used for other purposes. In the interior of New Zealand thousands of persons are engaged in the collection of the gum, and in tae towns and cities storehouses are filled with various grades of the product. The gum is not taken from the kaurl tree—at least, the "bush gum" is not collected in any appreciable quantity—but it is taken from about two feet under the ground in places where kaurl monsters of centuries ago have passed from sign. From among the old roots and fossils huge masses of the gum are taken out, chunks weighing as much as a hundred pounds being not infrequently obtained. From the heart of the ancient forest the gum is carted to the warehouses, where the process of grading has to be gone through. There are almost a round hundred of recognized grades of kauri gum, so that it is not an easy matter to determine at once the value of a load. The values of the different grades vary from three cents to seventy cents. This last is the most beautiful as well as the purest of kauri gum, as it is transparent as fine, clear amber. This is the gum from which the most expensive grades of varnish—grades which are never used for ordinary work or decoration—are made. Not a very great quantity of it is imported into this country. From these transparent blocks the pieces deteriorate in beauty and in value to the lowest grade, which is really nothing more than the dust from the various packings and sortings. To transport the gum the natives use the wood of the trees of the same name. The kauri tree, which is a handsome stick of timber, rising generally from 100 to 150 feet in height, is smooth, with a perfect grain, and is particularly well adapted for use in the manufacture of high class furniture. For packing cases it could not be surpassed, so that almost invariably the product of the dead tree is encased in timbers hewn and sawn from the living tree. For export purposes boxes holding about 200 or 250 pounds of the gum are manufactured. The Germania brings some 7,000 cases of this kind. The higher grades of the gum resist heat until 600 Fahrenheit is reached, when it melts, and, mixed with good oil in sufficient quantity, becomes the high-class varnish used for ordinary purposes.—New York Post.

Thinking of the terrible calamity that could be thwarted by a woman's "yes," she accepted him on the spot.—Chicago News. Captains How to Keep Up Mental and Physical Vigor. A New Jersey editor writes: "A lo ♥ indulgence in improper food brought on a condition of nervous dyspepsia, nearly three years ago, so severe that I had to quit work entirely. I put myself on a strict regimen of Grape-Nuts food, with plenty of outdoor exercise and in a few months found my stomach so far restored that the process of digestion gave me pleasure instead of distress. "It also built up my strength so that I was able to resume my business, which is onerous, as I not only edit my own paper, but also do a great deal of 'outside' writing." "I find that, the Grape-Nuts diet enables me to write with greater vigor than ever before, and without the feeling of brain-fung with which I used to be troubled. As to bodily vigor—I can and do walk miles every day without fatigue—a few squares used to weary me before I began to live on Grape-Nuts." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

WEATHER AND RATES. Conditions of Temperature May Force the Railroads to Reductions. Weather conditions are frequently of striking influence upon rates. To start with the seasonable topic of ice, there was in a winter not long past a total failure of the ice crop on the Hudson river and the lakes and streams in New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania. It was suddenly realized that distant sources must be utilized for the supply of ice for New York and the populous adjoining region for the coming summer. Lake Champlain and Lake George, several hundred miles away, seemed most available, and rail transportation had to be arranged. Here was a new situation, and a new and exceptional traffic, for which no rates had ever before been needed or established. The emergency was quickly met, the necessary law rates were made, the ice was transported, and the deficiency supplied. A year or so ago the weather gave another aspect to the ice problem. A particularly cold season left a large surplus stock of ice in the lakeshouses in the vicinity of New York City. This depressed the ice so as to affect injuriously the business of those lakes in Pennsylvania which regularly shipped ice to New York. To repair as far as possible this unexpected injury to a regular, established business, the railroads leading from Pennsylvania made a substantial reduction in their rates for ice transportation in order that their patrons during the emergency might reach other more distant markets.—From Samuel Spencer's "Railway Rates and Industrial Progress" in the Century. More Sleep for Public School Pupils Members of the Council of the Medical Officers of Schools Association (England) have sent a communication to The London Times, alleging that pupils at the public schools have insufficient sleep. "It is held by those who have paid special attention to the subject," the letter continues, "that a minimum of nine hours of unbroken rest in summer and nine and a half in winter is needed by the average boy from 13 to 16. It is not sufficient to send the younger boys earlier to bed in dormitories in which the older boys cause a disturbance by coming up later, and a definite wrong is inflicted on growing boys by giving them only the same amount of sleep that is needed by those who have reached maturity. If this is done, it is almost certain that the majority of boys will leave school less well equipped for the struggle of life, both in body and in mind, than might have been the case if more generous hours of rest had been accorded to them during their years of development."

COODELL. Subject: "The Carpenter's Son." New York City.—Calvary Methodist Episcopal Church of Harlem, through the effectiveness of the pastor, the Rev. Dr. Charles J. Goodell, is growing in an unparalleled way. Last February, as the result of revival services for the month of January, he broke all city church records by admitting 305 members. Sunday morning more than 350 were delivered into the church, and these, added to the fifty taken in at the January communion, make a total of more than 400 admissions as a result of four weeks of revival services. Dr. Goodell gave this as the reason of the great gathering: "There is no secret to it; any church can be stirred as ours has beel it if it is willing to pay the price. The price? It is conscription, prayer and hard work. All three are needed in about equal parts. Our magnificent congregation has been moved by prayer and in turn has moved others." The reception of members into this church Sunday was a joyful event for the ministers and members, for it placed Calvary Church at the head of Methodism in point of membership. Calvary now has a few more than 2400 members on its roll. Since Dr. Goodel! has been at Calvary, twenty-one months, ther has been a net gain of 1000 members, or about seventy-five per cent. Of these new members more than 600 came on probation. The church seats 2200 and every Sunday night all seats are filled early. At some of the special services many chairs had to be brought in and the altar space filled, and then scores could not find seats. Sunday there were fifteen denominations represented by those who came by letter. About 150 persons took communion in the morning, Bishop H. G. Andrews, of Brooklyn; the Rev. Dr. Frank Mason North, of the City Mission, and Tract Society of New York City, and Mr. Williams, the assistant pastor, and officers of the church assisting. In the afternoon about 500 more were communed. In the evening Dr. Goodell preached on "The Carpeuter's Son." The text was from Matthew xiii:35: "Is this not the carpenter's son?" He said: Out of the doorways of the poor come the then who make the world rich and God walks oftener in the narrow rooms and on the creaking stairs of the little cottages than in the wide, sounding halls of the rich with armor and pictures looking down. You have seen the home of Burns and Shakespeare; picture to yourself something as much poorer as these are meaner than the homes of the newly rich and you may call that the home of a carpenter in Nazareth. They will show you the place with votive offerings and gewgaws in it, but you will say, "So!" and walk out. Find a place where a carpenter is now making an ox bow or a poor man's table and it will be like what He knew, for the men of Nazareth are like all their kin in the East; they change not in a thousand years. I like to think that for thirty years Jesus knew the narrow ways of a laborer. His trade He plied, a carpenter, and built Doors, where folks come and go unto this hour. Not wotting how the hands which wrought their doors Unbarred Death's gate by Love's high sacrifice Taken fully, falls into their mead Tables whereon folks set their meat, and eat, Heedless of Who was "Bread of Life" and gave Such food that whosoeateth hungerest not. And, in those little lanes of Nazareth, Each morn His holy feet would come and go While He bore planks and beams, whose back must bear The cruel cross. And, then, at evening's fall, Resting from labor, with those patient feet Deep in white wood dust, and the long curled shreds Shorn by His plane—He would turn innocent eyes Gazing far past the sunset to that world He came from, and must go to; nigh to Him— Nigh unto us, albeit we see it not, Whereof Life is the curtain, and mute Death Heraid and Doorkeeper. Nazareth was a town in which to talk with God. The great plain before it had felt His thunderous foot. There was Carmel, where Elijah talked with God, in plain sight. There was Jezebel of Ahab and Jezuel. There was Eudor and Saul and the witch. There was Tabor, lone and majestic, near at hand, and Hermon far to the north, cloud-capped and snow-peaked, while to the East, hidden behind a dozen miles of mill and dale, was the sea of Galilee—mother of sermon and of miracles. In Nazareth He found the illustrations which make so large a part of His sermons. There was a great day of moll and toll before Him, and here in the cool of the morning He must store up the reserve that will take Him on to awful noon at Jerusalem. It takes a great soul to bide his time—to get ready for a great act and be patient with the training and the slow step of the years. To live with God and in Him is the main thing after all. He walked those cliffs with no one to look at Him or to wonder at Him—prayerful, masterful, patient. Was there ever a better example for ordinary people. It is good for the burning fever of life to look at Him. The world is too much with us soon and late. Our home life is low and sordid. We fret under it. There are too many little things to do. Too much of one and too little of outlook. What are we saying? Look at Him. Poverty? Yes. Toll? Yes. Did they who saw Him appreciate Him? We shall see; who was it said: "Is not this the carpenter's son?" and how did they say it? It was a taunt and a sneer. You know now how He came to say, "A prophet is not without honor save in his own country." The very men whose houses He had built were ready to stone Him to death. It has often been so. The men who have built the houses that the world's thought lives in to-day were most of them buried in ignominious graves. Very likely the men you serve may throw stones at you from the vintage ground where you put them, but it will be no new thing, so keep sweet about it. He could afford to wait. His carpenter bench would yet be holy because He worked at it, and the tools He handled would be held at the price of a king's ransom. His is the gospel of the mechanic. He fitted Himself at a carpenter's bench to say, "Come unto Me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest." He had no sympathy either with the man who wants more work than he pays for or the man who wants more pay than he works for. I want you to see from this lite that great deeds should go along with common life, making it sublime. When you read of the great economies that had to be practiced in the homes of such men as Phelps and Alcott, Hawthorne and Emerson, you realize the advantage of plain living and high thinking. There is too much high living and meagre thinking. The struggle after a more sumptuous life than we can afford takes the strength out of us, and if we get it it takes the nerve for toll and self-denial, which are only other names for victory, away from us. Our impatience takes away our capacity and love for toll, and we are miserable and useless. Be happy in a humble home. You will never have to live so cheaply as did Jesus. Then make up your mind to work Jesus the Carpenter taught us the dignity of toll. He made the saw and the plane as truly the ensign of a noble life as the fasces or the toga of the Roman. There is an evangel of toll. The shuttle and the hoe, the saw and the reaper have a message which the world must hear. The workers make life glorious, the shirkers make it detestable. "My father workketh hitherto and I work" was the challenge of the Christ, to every indolent and careless soul. Virgil sings of men and arms, but the song of to-day is a song of men and tools. I have a Saviour who wrought the hot day through. I can talk with Him of quivering palm and throbbing limbs and a fainting heart and He will know. You cannot imagine Him as making a poor joint or allowing a bad knot in an important place. To meet your ideal, and that an ideal which He has founded, by His own character, you will take nothing less than a honest attempt at a perfect product. The desire to slight one's work will lead to a compromise of character, and that will lead to the loss of the soul. It is not the work but the spirit, you put into it which makes the task ignoble or sublime. I would have every man step to his work to-morrow without dread or envy. I would have him feel that Jesus the Carpenter was the great model, and that if He could fit Himself for the conquest the world at a carpenter's bench any laborer may feel himself surrounded with glorious hopes and his dingy little shop become the habitat of angels. Paul slitting tents thought out those wonderful chapters of spiritual logic which move the world. Carey, the shoemaker, thought out the plan of giving the Bible to the Hindoos. Morrison, the last-maker, gave the gospel to China. Burrett, the blacksmith, became the most learned workman of his day. Dally humble life lived on high levels—this is the happy possibility of common men. What high discourse there must have been in that humble home when the day's work was over; what acts of affection, what mutual confidences and holy trust! But He who made lintels for the doors of Nazareth set up also the gates of the eternal city of God. He who made humble houses for the common people of His native town was the Artificer of the eternal home of the soul. It was not a figure of His imagination when He pictures the unsafe foundation and the awful ruin of that unsecure house. He had seen the torrent rush down the chalk cliffs of Nazareth and sweep away the houses of His fellow craftsmen. Small wonder that He looked upon that ruin from the standpoint of a careful builder. But when they drove the carpenter from His bench at Nazareth He went out to build for eternity. I want to ask you to give your contract for an eternal mansion to Jesus the Carpenter. As a wise master builder, He asks you to count the cost. Are you ready to build? Are you willing to pay for a good foundation and will the superstructure you rear be a sacred one? He will not countenance the ornamentations that hide the lack of solid worth. He will have no part in the consummate fraud of a life that is built on the sand. He will not build with hay and stubble. If it were a house to sell it might be out of your sight, but here me when I say it is the house you are to live in forever. If there is a flaw in it you will find it out. If when the winds blow and the floods come it falls you will go down in the ruin. Yeserday a man gaspin, for breath said "I am almost ashamed to ask God to have mercy on me when I ignored Him for three score years," and you will feel the same. To leave you in old age to the mercy of the wintry blasts would be cruel, but the man who shirks in the building of his soul's tabernacle does that for himself. Only Jesus knows how to build for eternity. The old Romans were great builders of roads and bridges, and the old Egyptians were great builders of pyramids, but I want somebody who can build in house for the soul that will outlast pyramids and stars. No man saw Jesus can have my contract. Power of Sacrifice. John Henry, while a divinity student, went through a tempest that most daring seamen not dare face, and brought ashore seven sailors from a wrecked boat. The strain was such that, though he lived to finish his studies, he had scarcely taken up the work of a parish when death summoned him away. The crowds that came to his funeral were so large that the window of the church was removed and a platform erected where those within the church and the masses of humanity without could hear the words of Lord Chalmers. Kneel in your closet and say, "O God! I have not known Thee; delight to reveal Thyself to me; teach me to love and obey Thee; by all Thy goodness, oh, forgive my wanderings, and let me feel the tranquillity of a life hid in Thy blessedness." Such petitions will not be unheard, nor fail to bring down answers of growing fulfillment—William Alger.

G 62 A1 Semitic Worship. Professor Flinders-Petrie, the famous English archaeologist, tells of his recent discoveries at Sinai where Egyptian sculptures older than any in Egypt have been discovered and temples found, showing that the Egyptians adopted the Semitic form of worship. "We see," he says, "that the Egyptians here had adopted the Semitic worship in many points that we can trace—the burial sacrifices on the high place, the courts of ablutions in the temple, the altars of incense in the shrine, and the pilgrim stones, or Bethels, recording visits to the goddess, with the later provision of artificial caves for would-be dreamers at the shrine—all these show how careful the Egyptian was here to worship after the manner of the god of the country." "And this has its further value to us as the oldest example of the system of Semitic worship. So far, our knowledge of that has rested on allusions in the Old Testament, many of which we could not infer to be general to Semites at an early date, and also the stray references to Arab customs in "the time of the ignorance" before Mohammed. Now we have several of the most important customs in the full light of day, two or three thousand years before Islam, and even before the Jewish system. This is a new point of departure for the study of Semitic customs."—Harper's Magazine. FIT8 permanently cured.

WERE SHOT FROM AMBUSH Posse, Attempting to Make Arrests, Was Met With Volleys from _ Bartlcaded House—Excite- yy citement Intense. . A dispatch from Vinita, Indlan Ter- ritory, says: LL. Gilstrap, deputy ‘United States marshal of Vinita; Otis Tuttle, posseman of Vinita, and Dick ‘Terry, posseman of Talequah, were killed in a bloody battle with the Wicklite band. of Cherokee Indian outiaws, in the Spavinaw hills, Sun- day afternoon. _After the battle, the outlaws were besieged in the house of thelr uncle, Jim Wickliffe, at the scene of the ertme; 31 miles from Vinita. There Is no telephone or telegraphic commun- ication with the battleground, and no news has yet been received from a large party of deputles, who went to the Spavinaw hills to capture or kill tne outlaws. It was not expected that they would.yleld without a fight. The Wickliffes killed Deputy Mar- shal Vier about a year and a half ago, and the officers have been on their trafl ever since. A posse of six officers, who were on the way to arzést the gang, were fired upon from gmbtish by the Indians, who shot and ‘wltea three of thelr pursuers and es- eaped unhurt. Plezz Mann, a posseman, who sur- vived the attack of the outlaws, walk- ed 28 miles to Tablequah, and told the story of the battle, which was tel- egrapned to United States Marshal Darrough, of Vinita, at 5:35 Monday morning. Thirty-five deputy marshals were immediately sworn In and dis- patched to the scene of the battle, aad authority has been granted Mar- shal Darrough by the department of justice in Washington to tncrease the number to one hurdred. Marshal Dar- rough announces that he will employ this many men, if necessary, to round up the desperadoes- It fs reported that the full-blooded Cherokee Indians in the vicinity of the battleground, commonly known as the Night Hawks, are joining the Wickliffes and the authorities fear tkat they will barricade themselves in the rough country and a desperate battle ensue before the outlaws ara captured. The Wickliffes are members of the Night Hawk band of Indians, which bas given the United States officers 9 much trouble in the mat- ter of taling allotments, and it {9 said that many of these Night Hawks sympathiz2 with them. The home of the Wickliffes Is in; the center of the Night Hawk settle- ment, where the battle occurred. Many of the Indians have been sheltering the outlaws during their months of scouting, and the officers have arrest- ed many of the Indians for giving such protection to the AViokliffes. It is feared that the full bloods fo that vielnity, which number several hun- dred, may join the Wieckliffes, and that it may be necessary to call out the United States troops. The off- cers at Vinitia, however, belleve they Will be able to cope with tho situa tion successfully. Deputy Gilstrap was a fearless ont. cer appointed to succeed J. H. Vier, who was killed by the Wickliffes. He leaves a widow and several children at Kansas, I. T. Tuttle and Terry were Che-okee full-bloods. Marshal Darrough has asked the de- partment of justice to authorize him to offer $1,000 for the capture of the outlaws. Only meager details of the fight have been recelved as yet. The battle occurred far from the railroad, and it is hard to get tidings from there. Outlaws Open Fire. Députy Gilstrap, with Otls Tuttle, Dick Terry, Plezz Mann, Thomas Wof- ford and’ Andy Dick, possemen, Sua- day afternoon at 4 o'clock rode up to the home of Jim Wickliffe, uncle of the Wickliffe boys, and were intend- ing to make a search of the placa when-ths outlaws, concealed in tho house, opened fire on them. At the first shot Giletrap, Tuttle and Terry were killed, and at the next volley all of the horses were Killed, besides two ploodhounds. The survivors of Gil- strap's party fired into the heuse, but the firing from the outlaws was RO sharp that they sooa sought shelter behind trees and ‘stones. ‘The three survivors decided to send Plezz Mann to Talequah for assist- ance while the other.two men would 2 alan: Matai tale aang TLE ODO STATEHOOD BILL IN HOUSE.
