The Savannah Tribune. VOL. XXI. COURT IS REBUKED Mob Takes Negro from Jail and Lyneches Him. STAY HAD BEEN GRANTED Delay In Execution Angered the People-Victim Was Hanged to Bridge, But Rope Broke and Body Fell Into River. Ed. Johnson, colored, was taken from jail in Chattanooga at 10:45 o'clock Monday night by a mob of seventy-five men and hanged to a beam of the county bridge over the Tennessee river. The rope broke and the negro's body fell, and the mob quickly riddled him with bullets. Sheriff Shipp and the jailor were locked in a bath room while the mob secured the prisoner. The negro was to have been hanged Tuesday, but the United States supreme court Monday morning granted a stay of execution, and this action served to anger the citizens of the city, and all day there was great excitement, and it was freely talked on the streets that violence would result. Early in the evening the mob began to form, and it was all done so quickly that only those in the immediate vicinity of the jail knew when they were ready for action. At 10:45, seventy-five of the better class of citizens assembled at the jail, and at once gained admission. Overpowering the sheriff and his deputies, they secured the prisoner and quietly led him to the bridge, where the hanging was carried out in the most orderly manner, the mob immediately dispersing. There was not the slightest attempt at rcdwydism, and the mob was composed of men of mature years. The negro is said to have confessed when first taken by the mob, but when the rope was placed about his neck he stoutly maintained his innocence. It is declared that the victim was dead of strangulation before the rope broke, but the mob, to make sure work of him, filled his body with bullets. The city was as quiet at the hour of hanging and afterwards as though nothing unusual had occurred. The crime for which Ed Johnson was lynched was an assault on a white girl at St. Elmo, a suburb of Chattanooga, which occurred some weeks ago. Immediately after the crime, a mob made an unsuccessful attempt to get the prisoner, but Sheriff Shipp had taken him away. At that time the jail was attacked and almost torn down, and during the excitement several persons were seriously injured. Atlanta City Council Knocks Out Action of Police Board. The veto of Mayor J. G. Woodward of Atlanta upon the resolution of the general council regarding civil service in the police department was overruled by the city council Monday. The police department, therefore, is now on notice officially that the mayor and general council does not regard civil service as in force in the police department. The effect also is to forewarn policemen that they will be subject to a general election during April, 1907. ARMY-OFFICE ABOLISHED. Grade of Lieutenant General Eliminated by House Action. A Washington dispatch says: As the result of the parliamentary situation when the house adjourned Friday the roll was immediately called Monday on the Grosvenor amendment to the Prince bill abolishing the grade of lieutenant general in the army. The roll call resulted in the adoption of Grosvenor's amendment, 138 to 101. The bill was then passed without opposition. Roosevelt is Made Honorary Member of United Veterans. President Roosevelt is now an honorary member of the United Veterans, having been elected by the camp Poplar Bluff, Missouri. The resolutions of the camp creating the president a member of the organization were presented to him by Senator Warner of Missouri. The organization-is composed of Union and Confederate soldiers. The president's election to membership was due to his attitude on his trip through the south last fall. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. MARCH 24, 1906. PRESIDENT "OVERRULED" His Scheme for Federal Control of Corporations Repudiated by the House Judiciary Committee. A Washington special says: Taking sharp issue with President Roosevelt, the house committee on judiciary declares it cannot follow his recommendations, that congress provide for federal control of great corporations and, if possible, for the control of life insurance as interestate commerce. Coming as does its report from the republican majority of the committee on judiciary, this report has all the essentials of a repudiation by leading members of his party in congress of these features of President Roosevelt's message. The report in question denies the right of the federal government to take away from the states their police powers, expressing its dissent in strong language. "Let it be said kindly, but not offensively," is the language of the report, "that it is a monstrous doctrine, subversive of our dual system of government, to even suggest, after the distribution of these great powers between the federal government and the states, that the federal government created by the states can take from the states the power they have always enjoyed and which is expressly reserved to them by the constitution. Hamilton himself never made such a claim." The report has been drafted by Chairman Jenkins of the committee and is now in the hands of the members of the committee for their perusal. An unofficial poll of the members of the committee indicates that with practically no exceptions they concur in the correctness of this conclusion. The report of Mr. Jenkins may, therefore, be taken as the basis of the answer the committee is to make to the house In compliance with the instructions of that body. The report collates all of the important court decisions on the questions involved, treats each exhaustively and reduces the whole problem to these two principles. "The supreme court of the United States has declared, and has never been shaken or weakened in maintaining, first, that insurance is not commerce, and second that congress cannot impair the police-powers of the states." The advocates of federal regulation concede, according to the report, that insurance is not commerce. "The advocates of federal supervision admit and concote that it is entirely optional with the states to admit or exclude insurance corporations. Hence, it follows that the state has entire power to regulate. The business can be carried out without commercial transit and it is only during commercial transit that federal power can be exercised. "The difficulty of administering federal regulations is emphasized as follows: "What can congress act upon under its power to regulate interstate commerce? Congress cannot prevent the making of a contract of insurance between a company in New York and a resident of Oregon. After the contract is made, when will the power of congress attach, and to what? The policy and premium are not merchandise. As the power of congress does not attach until the merchandise is in commercial transit, it could not become active until the policy and premium start on their journey and would terminate when the place of designation is reached and the duty and power of congress would be to protect both in transit, and that is the limit of congressional power." SON PROTECTS HIS MOTHER. Forced to Kill Father Who Was on Murderous Rampage. To save the life of his mother, his wife and himself from a murderous attack made on them by his father, who was frenzled with rage and mean whisky, Elisha Franklin Purcell, at Atlanta Wednesday night, shot and instantly killed Henry Jackson Purcell. New York Life Officials Trying Hard to Retain Jobs. Samuel Untermayer, counsel for the international policy holders' committee of the New York Life Insurance company, has sent a letter to Alexander E. Orr, president of the New York Life, protesting in the name of the policy holders against what he terms the extraordinary effort that is being made by the officers of the company to obtain proxies for the annual election, which is to be held early in April. PACKERS GO FREE All Charges Made Against Them Fall Flat. IMMUNITY PLEA STANDS Their Contention Upheld by Federal Court in Chicago Indictments However, Will Stand Against A Chicago dispatch says: All the packers who were indicted by a federal grand jury last summer on charges of conspiracy in restraint of interstate trade and commerce have been granted immunity from criminal prosecution under the indictment. While the individuals are to go free, the indictments found against the corporations, of which some of the indicted packers are members and others are employees, are to stand. The jury returned a verdict in accordance with the direction of the court. A decision to this effect was handed down Friday afternoon by Judge J. Otis Humpney in the United States district court. The court reviewed the case in all its bearings, and all the essential facts which had been brought out, and concluded as follows: "Under the law in this case the immunity pleas filed by the defendants will be sustained as to the individuals and denied to the corporations, and the jury will find in favor of the government as far as the corporations are concerned, and against the government as far as the individuals are concerned." During the rendition of the decision the court was crowded by defendants and numerous spectators. Edward Morris and Edward Swift were in court and both smiled happily when the decision was announced. J. Ogden Armour was not present, but some men prominent of the employ of Armour & Co., who were under indictment were there and their joy was great. When the judge announced that the indictment would not lie against them, the defendants crowded together and shook hands. Immediately following the dismissal of the jury, District Attorney Morrison raised the question of the date for the trial of the corporations. He asked that the case be set for trial, and that it commence within two weeks. This met with a storm of protest from the attorneys of the packers, who insisted that they would be unable to prepare for the case before fall, pleading the number of witnesses which it would be necessary to bring to Chicago, the strain of the present trial, and various other reasons. After some discussion, Judge Humphrey directed that the lawyers agree among themselves on a date and notify him of their decisions next week. It is expected that the total number of witnesses in this trial, when it begins, will number, at least, 1,600. MOB FORESTALLED BY SHERIFF. Would-Be Lynchers Failed to Get Negro in South Carolina Jail. Late Tuesday night a body of armed men rode into Bishopville, the county seat of Lee county, South Carolina, and made a desperate effort to lynch a negro who recently attempted to assassinate a white man. The sheriff got wind of the mob's intention and prepared to resist it. When the mob neared the jail volleys were exchanged with the sheriff and his deputies. Seeing that they were outwitted, the crowd dispersed without bloodshed. The senate in executive session Wednesday had under consideration the Isle of Pines treaty, but, after a general discussion, lasting more than an hour, the legislative session was resumed without action having been taken. L. & N. ENTERS ATLANTA. First Train to Georgia Capital Over Road's Own Tracks. The first through freight train of the Louisville and Nashville railroad from Knoxville, Tenn., to Atlanta, Ga., over the road's own tracks, reached the latter city Tuesday afternoon and signaled, the beginning of service on another line of railway into Atlanta. It is announced that the first passenger train, with cars of the latest equipment will be put on April 15, and will make the run between Atlanta and Knoxville in a few hours. HIGH COURT IS MAD Overriding of its Edict by Mop the Cause. Victim Was Virtually Government Prisoner and Punishment is Possible for Local Officials if Laxity is Proven. The Atlanta Constitution's Washington correspondent wired the following Tuesday: A thorough investigation into the lynching of the negro, Ed Johnson, at Chattanooga, is to be made by the federal authorities, and such investigation is fraught with possibilities of trouble for somebody. The case is a most unusual one from the federal standpoint. When the mob lynched Johnson the majesty of an order of the United States supreme court staying the legal execution of the prisoner was outraged. For the first time in the history of the country a mandate of the supreme court was nullified. If it can be proven that this resulted from the action or laxity of any official, the sheriff of Hamilton county, or anybody else, such officials will be haled before the federal courts for punishment. Mr. Justice Harlan, who issued the stay of execution in the Johnson case, called at the white house this afternoon, but it is stated he did not see the president. While the announcement is made that he did not go for the purpose of conferring with reference to the Johnson case, I have it from high authority that it was his purpose to discuss the case with the president for the purpose of having the department of justice take prompt action through the federal authorities at Chattancegea for investigation looking to prosecution Acting Attorney General Jurdy said Tuesday night that the department has already begun consideration of the case, but it is so unusual no determination has yet been reached as to the method of procedure. Justice Harlan granted a stay in the Johnson case on Saturday and his action was confirmed by the full court at Monday's session. Justice Harlan himself wired the federal judge, the state judge, who tried Johnson, and the sheriff of Hamilton county, Tennessee, a synopsis of the order and instructed that Johnson be retrained in custody until the case was disposed of here. The supreme court having taken a recess until April 2, no action can be taken by that body before then. It is not probable, however, that the court would take any action in advance of investigation to be made through officials of the department of justice. PRINTERS "OSTRACISE" WATSON. His Magazine Placed on "Unfair List" for Refusing Eight-Hour Day. Tom Watson's Magazine has been placed on the "unfair" list by the labor organizations of the country. The announcement of this fact is made in The Trades Unionist, official organ of the Columbia Typographical Union in Washington. This is made on the authority of Typographical Union No. 6 of New York, which includes Tom Watson's Magazine in its list of "unfair" publications. This magazine is published by the same company, which publishes Town Topics. The company, has resisted the demand of the printers for an eight-hour day, and is accordingly placed under the ban by the unions. In commenting upon the interesting fact that the magazine controlled by one who has so frequently declared himself a friend of organized labor, the Trades Unionist says, "Perhaps it is true that Tom Watson cannot control the policy of his company toward its employees, but at least he can take his name away from the magazine." Seismic Disaster on Island of Formosa Worse Than First Reported. According to the London Daily Telegraph's correspondent at Tokyo, it is now estimated that several thousand persons were killed by the recent earthquake In Formosa. At Datiyo six hundred bodies already have been recovered from the open fields to which the people had fled on lyto succumb to their injuries. At a rough estimate the damage amounts to $45,000,000. Doctors of Several States Called to New Orleans for Consultation. Case Was Not Yellow Jack. Health officers of Mississippi and Alabama were called to New Orleans Saturday to investigate a supposed case of yellow fever on which local physicians had come to no agreement. Dr. Iron, president of the board of health, furnished the press with the following statement: "The case of Jules Ebernz was reported to be of much suspicion on Monday afternoon, March 12. Drs. Denegre Martine and J. M. Batchelor diagnosed the case as catarral jaundice. Dr. Hamilton Jones, after three days' observation of the case, reports it as yellow fever. The health officers of Mississippi, Alabama and Texas have been notified as por copy inclosed. The case was treated as a suspiclous case from the beginning and every precaution was taken." Following is a copy of the telegram mention in Dr. Iron's letter as sent to the state health officers of the three adjoining states: "New Orleans, March 16, 1906. Committee appointed to investigate suspicious fever case. Charity hospital differs as to diagnosis. Invite you to come. C. H. IRON, M. D., "President State Board of Health." Dr. Batchellor, house physician of the Charity hospital, when asked regarding the case, said that the patient was Jules Ebernz, an oyster shucker, aged 30 years. He was taken to the hospital from a lodging house on March 8, and it was understood that he had been ill about seven months. Dr. Batchellor said he had diagnosed the case as catarrhal jaundice, and had seen no reason to alter his diagnosis. He had treated and observed hundreds of cases of yellow fever, and was positive that the patient was not suffering from that disease. Ebernz had been at the hospital for about seven days, but his physician has had ample time to examine his illness and satisfy himself as to its nature Unanimous agreement of the physicians from the states named, of the local physicians and of the representatives of the United States that the patient did not have yellow fever was the result of the autopsy held Sunday on the body of Ebernz. FEW BODIES RECOGNIZED. Majority of Victims of Horrible Wreck Cannot Be Identified. Twenty-two dead and twenty-two injured is the latest estimate of the casualties in the wreck of the two Denver and Rio Grande passenger trains which collided 25 miles west of Pueblo, Col., early Friday morning. Only seven of the dead bodies can be identified and only one of these retains sufficient outline of features to be readily recognized. Two telegraph operators are held in the public mind to be responsible for the disaster, although no formal indictment has gone out against them. Both have been ordered discharged from the service of the road. A coroner's jury has been empanelled, and will investigate the accident. FOR POISONING HUSBAND. Louisiana Woman is Convicted and Given Fifteen-Year Sentence. GIVEN Fifteen-Year Sentence. Charged with poisoning her husband with strychnine in order to be free of marital ties and to marry a younger man, Mrs. Bettie E.. White, 28 years old, of comely appearance, has been convicted of manslaught, in the district court at Rayville, La., before Judge W. J. Gray, who sentenced the woman to a term of fifteen years in the penitentiary. Attorney General Wants to Know About Lumber Trust in Mississippi. The United States government is about to take a hand in the investigation of the alleged lumber trust in Mississippi. New York District Attorney Will Address. State Bar Association. William Travers Jerome, district attorney of New York city, will be the guest of the Georgia Bar Association, which meets at Warm Springs in July.6 In order to have the distinguished jurist and political reformer as its guest, the State Bar Association has changed the date of holding the annual meeting of the lawyers from July 4 to 6 inclusive to July 18, 19 and 20. A FRIGHTFUL SMASHUP Denver and Rio Grande Trains Crash Together in Blinding Snow Storm and Scores Lose Life—Caused by Sleeping Operator. A wreck accompanied with horrors exceeded only by the Eden disaster, which occurred August 7, 1904; on the line of the same railroad, resulted from a head-on collision of two passenger trains on the Denver and Rio Grande railroad, four miles east of Florence, Col., at an early hour Friday morning. According to the latest dispatches from Pueblo, conservative estimates on the total loss of life place the number of dead at thirty-five. Rio Grande officials insist that the exact number of persons on the two trains cannot be ascertain; that it is impossible. S. F. Lively, night operator at Swallows, whose alleged failure to deliver orders to train No. 3 is supposed to have been the cause of the wreck, has been in the employ of the road for many years. He was relieved from duty Friday night, and will be suspended until after the matter is thoroughly investigated by the officials. The trains were the Utah-California express No.3, westbound, from Denver, and the Colorado-New Mexico express, No.16, eastbound from Leadville and Grand Junction. They met on a sharp curve, and were less than two hundred yards apart when the engineers discovered that a collision was imminent. It is known that the engineer of the westbound train put forth every possible effort to bring his train to a stop, but his efforts were fruitless, and, although he succeeded in checking the speed of his train, the crash that followed was beyond his power to prevent, and he went to his death with his hand on the throttle, faithful to his charge. This mucn is vouched for by his fireman, who, seeing the uselessness of remaining in the face of sure death, jumped and saved himself. Of the conduct of the engine crew of the eastbound train, it can only be said that they died at their post, for no one lives to tell the story of their heroism. The disaster was made more horrible by the manner of the death of many of the passengers. Fire swept over the wreck, engulfing the victims in a caldron of flame and leaving only charred and blackened bones to tell the tale of slaughter. In a blinding storm which made it almost impossible for the trainmen to see ahead, the two trains collided head-on at a point midway between Portland and Adobe, 25 miles west of Pueblo, at 2 o'clock in the morning. The Utah and California express No. 3, westbound, left Pueblo over an hour and a half late, and was given orders to meet the Colorado and New Mexico express, No. 16, eastbound, at Florence. This order was changed, and the westbound train was directed to pass the eastbound train at Beaver, about 12 miles east of Florence. The order should have been delivered to the train crew at Swallows; but for some reason still unexplained, the operator there neglected to do so. In the meantime, the eastbound had received its order, and expected to meet the westbound train at Beaver. In the forward coach of the westbound train every seat was occupied by passengers, most of whom were homeseekers on their way to the northwest. A number of foreigners were among them, and in their terror they gave up life without making any attempt to reach safety outside the burning car. Paralyzed with fear and with prayers upon their lips, they sank to the floor of the car and were roasted alive. ABOLISH FOURYEAR TERM Is Purport of Resolution Passed by Holston Methodist Conference. The ministers' council of the Abingdon district, Holston conference, Methodist Episcopal church, south, in session at Knoxville, Tenn., passed a resolution to be forwarded to the general conference of the church at Birmingham, Ala., in May, praying that the four years' maximum limit for continuous service for a minister at a single charge be abolished, and that the districts and jurisdictions of presiding elders be made smaller.

At a called meeting of the Augusta Confederate Veterans a motion to send delegates to the memorial to late General Wheeler, which will soon be held in Atlanta, was laid on the table, it being the expressed sense of the meeting that they did not believe in "mixing the blue and the gray." 9 Dyer Also Accultted. George H. Dyer was found not guilty of the murder of Policeman Patrick Kearney at Savannah. The trial had lasted four days. The trial was the second for murder growing out of the general political battle in which partisans of the two local factions engaged in front of the city hall on February 9. To War on Mosquitoes. The extermination of mosquitoes is now the object of the Atlanta board of health. The finance committee of the city council has recommended an appropriation of $2,000 for the purpose of starting the work, and promised to give another $2,000 to the board of health for the mosquito campaign when the June apportionment sheet is written. * * * Three Postmasters Indicted. Three postmasters have been indicted by the grand jury of the United States court at Savannah. William H. Peeples of Kingsland, in Camden county, is charged with the misapprodiating of money orders to the amount of $290. Charles R. Jackson was the colored postmaster at Darlen. It is charged that he abstracted amounts aggregating $497, of which $401 was in general postage funds. The third postmaster was William B. Maxwell, colored, of Thebes, Liberty county. He is charged with embezzling $450 in postoffice funds. B. W. COOPER, General Manager- This company is duly chartered under the laws of the State of Georgia, and has compiled with all requirements of the State Insurance department, therefore all policy holders are protected with all the safeguards that the strict insurance laws of this State seek to protect its citizens. Its affairs are directed and managed by Negro men of the city, of Savannah of leading standing, and whose character and reputation are of such as to command the respect and confidence of all the people of that community. The same men that manage this Society are the ones that organized and are conducting the affairs of the first successful Negro Savings Bank in this state, therefore we can readily see that by connecting themselves with this Insurance company their interest will be in safe hands. By comparing our rules and benefits with other first class companies it will be seen that we offer the most liberal inducements with the largest sick, accident and death benefits to our members than any other company in this business. That we pay our claims promptly can be testified to by the thousands of our satisfied members. Liberal Terms and Commission. Association held their annual meeting the past week and elected officers for the year. Alex W. Smith, first vice president, was elected president; J. Lee Barnes, first vice president; Charles I. Ryan, treasurer, and Frank Weldon, secretary. Mr. Ryan and Mr. Weldon were both re-elected. Chief Joyner of the city fire department, declined to accept the presidency of the fair association for a second term, though the fair last year was probably the most successful state show ever held. Dago "Citizens" Lose Rights. Thirteen more Greek citizens at Savannah have forfeited their right to call themselves "American citizens." The act to annul the proceedings of January 24, when they were naturalized was taken in the city court. The erstwhile citizens appeared, and admitted that they had obtained their papers by false testimony and fraud, and asked to be allowed to withdraw the statements on which they gained them. Judge Norwood ordered the papers canceled. The prosecutions in progress in the United States court have struck terror to a number of the "citizens" who were, it is said, made for political purposes. Gift to Tech from Carnegie. The Georgia Technological school has been tendered the sum of $20,000 by Andrew Carnegie for th epurpose of erecting a handsome library building. It is provided, however, that the school is to agree to furnish $2,000 per year to sustain the library and employ trained help. This proviso is not likely to be a stumbling block, as the Technological school already employs a trained librarian, and has at lease 4,000 volumes that must be catalogued and cared for. With six hundred students, the majority of them using the library., there has been felt the need for larger or additional quarters, and Mr. Carngie's offer delighted the boys nearly as much as it did Professor Mathcwson, who has been working for several months to secure the potential influence of the famous philanthropist.

They also provided for the payment of $14,500 of bonds due the town of Douslasville. The property of the New Century Cotton Mills cost about $100,000. The building is of new construction, and it is put up of the very best material. There are about fifty acres of land in the mill site. A Portland (Me.) man, Daniel G. Loveitt, has a curiosity in the shape of a doll which was brought from England sixty-five years ago. This doll, which is about a foot in length, has the same dress that it wore when brought here, and those who are acquainted with the fashions of 1840 have an idea of its appearance. The doll's hair is genuine, and is arranged as was customary in the days when it crossed the sea. Mr. Loveitt, among other mementoes of bygone days, has some of those old rewards of merit which good boys and girls received from their teachers. These little slips would not now be considered valuable by children, but by the boys and girls of 1840 and a little later they were considered "something great."

Some two years ago Attorney Boykin Wright, brought suit for the city of Augusta and the county of Richmond against the Georgia Railroad company for taxes on 15,000 shares of stock in the Western Railway of Alabama, owned by the Georgia road, and won in the state courts, the suit having been brought in Augusta because that city is the home of the defendant company. Not satisfied with the result in the Richmond superior court, the railroad company appealed the case to the Georgia supreme court, where the decision of the lower court was sustained. That brought the question up to Comptroller General Wright, whose duty in the premises is the collection of taxes on the 15,000 shares of the Western of Alabama road. At that stage of the game the plaintiffs stepped in with a mandamus directed to the comptroller general in which the counties and towns enumerated demand the payment to each of them a portion of the taxes to be collected. The plaintiffs in the mandamus lay claim to a part of the money because the Georgia railroad, which owns the stock declared to be taxable, runs through the counties and cities mentioned. --- The litigation involving the New Century Cotton Mills at Douglasville, has at last been settled, and the mills will be sold at public outcry by order of the United States court next April in Atlanta.

Consequently the Historic Town of Bingville Is Defendant in a Big Damage Suit—Some Criticisms of Methods of Presiding Judge. --- Last Monday morning while Amaziah Cookins was walking down Main street on his way to the P. O. to see if there was any mail for him being as he wasn't expecting any, his feet slipped out from under him on the ice while he was passing in front of Ranse Hillyer's residence and Amaziah fell, striking on his shoulder blades. He broke his cane in two, which he has carried for the past 15 years and which was a present to him from his son Jed, who is now married and lives at the Co. seat. Amzi also broke two of his front teeth, being as his false set flew out and fell with a dull, sickening thud on the ice with the above named result. As soon as Amaziah could collect his self and his cane and his teeth he got up and started on and when he went to cross the street in front of the P. O. where there was more ice great was his surprise when his feet slipt out from under him again and went into the air and Amaziah come down hard right on the seat of his pants with such violence that it like to of drove his spinal collium clean up through the top of his head. Amzi went on to the P. O. and there was no mail for him so he limped home. The more Amaziah thought over what had happened to him the mudder he got and the more he become convinced that he had been injured tr ternally or perhaps fatally. He then sent for Amos Hillier, our talented legal light, and laid the facts before Ame, who, being as work in his line has been very dull this winter, advised Amaziah to bring suit against Ranse and also against the town for damages to his person, character and feeblings. Amaziah thought this would be a good idea so he told Ame to go ahead and so Ame he notified Ranse Hillier that he was sued for $10,000 damages to Amaziah because he had fell on his ice and also the town selectmen that Bingville also had a damage suit on its hands because Amaziah had fell while crossing the street and that the damage asked for was $5,000. Ame told the defendants that the case would come up for trial before him the next day at 9 o'clock at his office and for them to get their witnesses and be on hand. News of the damage suit spread like wildfire and the next day when court opened in Ame's office all of the town who could crowd into the room was present. Justice Hillyer asked Ranse what he had to say for himself. Ranse testified that in his opinion Amaziah had fell down on purpose just so as he could go to law and collect damages. He swore that he didn't believe Amaziah was injured any to speak of being as he had saw him on the same evening of the day he fell chopping wood in his back yard. Cy Hoskins, town selectman, next testified. Cy A said it was his opinion that the damages asked from the town was too high. He said if the town of Blingyville had to pay over to Amaziah the sum of $5,000 it would be a long time recovering from the blow, being as the town treasury only had $1.50 on its hands at present and he for one would be in favor of giving Amaziah half of this amount for damages, although he didn't think he was entitled to more than 15 cts. by rights. Cy further testified that there might be $5,000 in the world, although he didn't believe it. Cy said he would be willing to fall fifteen times as hard as Amaziah fell for $5,000, and would consider it a good investment. Bill Hepburn and Deacon Butterworth, the two remaining town selectmen, also testified to about the same as Cy these was all the witnesses examined. Justico Hillier then announced that he would take the evidence submitted under advisement and if he found anybody guilty he would say so without fear or favor. Then court was adjourned. Justice Hillyer has been severely criticised in a roundabout way because Amaziah was the client and because he advised Amaziah to bring suit and then tried the case hisself. Of course, people have been pretty careful not to say anything to Ame hisself less he will jerk them up for contempt of court. How the case will come out nobody can tell. If Ame gives Amaziah damages against Ranse for $10,000 we feel sorry for Ranse because he already has a mortgage on his property for $150 and it will be a awful sad blow to him if he has to pay $10,000 damages in addition.—"Bingville Bugle" Items in Boston Post. Proclamations Not Always Law. A Vermont case, the trial day of which fell on Thanksgiving day, called for a legal opinion of the effect of the proclamations of the President and governor. A motion to dismiss was denied on the ground that the proclamations are not law unless supplemented by the statutes. KNOWS EACH MEMBER OF HERD. Cattle Man Peculiarly Adapted for His Business. "People who have never been in the cattle business," said a stock raiser in Kansas City the other day; "will never realize trow intimate a cattle man becomes with the animals in his herd. "When I say that, as a boy, I knew the different voices of forty cows, and without seeing them could tell just which one was lowing by the sound, just as you recognize the voice of a friend behind your back, few people will believe me. I know every individual animal in a herd of 300 cattle in my pasture, and often neighbors put their cattle in my pasture for the summer, I sorting them out again in the fall without difficulty. "I visit the pasture only two or three times during the summer and recognize my own calves as distinguished from my neighbors' by the markings inherited from their bovine mothers. I have an insight into cattle character as most people have into human character and enjoy the society of the herd."—Kansas City Times. HAD USE FOR TWO MACHINES Amateur Farmer Wanted to Employ Them in Figuring Profits. "Sir," said the man as he entered the office, "I wish to exhibit to you my universal calculating machine—a thing that should be found in the counting room or every business man. It will add, subtract, divide and multiply, and there is no such thing as failure." "I guess that's correct," sighed the merchant, "but I never understood it was much of a success." "Oh, sir, but it is perfection! Give me any example you will and I will guarantee a correct solution." "Very well. I bought two dozen Leghorn chickens at $3 each. I built "I Wish to Introduce You to My Uni- versal Calculating Machine." a coop at an expense of $30. In one year I bought $25 worth of feed. In the same year I got six eggs. What was my profit or loss for the year?" "Why, you paid out $127 and got back about 20 cents. In actual figures your loss was $126.80." "I guess that's correct," sighed the merchant, "and you may leave me two machines. I'll keep one busy on my chickens and the other figuring out how much profit I make in raising my own celery and cucumbers." GREAT FEAT OF INDIAN FAKIR. Sustained Weight of, Boy Attached,to His Evelids. Recently an Indian fakir appeared at a circus in Berlin, where he astonished the audience by lifting a boy with his eyelids. The boy made himself as small as possible, and was put into a net to which was secured a string that was provided on each end with a little cup just large enough to fit over the eye. The fakir pressed these little cups over his eyes, where they held fast, then threw his head back and slowly straightened his body, thus lifting his burden, which he then carried about—his arms being outstretched all the time—and finally lowered it slowly to the ground again. How is it possible for any man to do this? The only explanation is that the cups were filled into the eyes-sockets so that they held on the edges of the sockets, but it is not likely that the trick will be imitated by even those prestidigitators who consider themselves very expert. Hindu Women. The Hindu holy books forbid a woman to see dancing, hear music, wear jewels, blacken her eyebrows, eat dainty food, sit at a window, or view herself in a mirror during the absence of her husband; and allows him to divorce her if she has no sons, injures his property, scolds him, quarrels with another woman, or presumes to eat before he has finished his meal. Gallows Tree. In front of the ruins of Doune castle, in Scotland, still stands the old gallows tree formerly used for capital punishment. Handkerchief of Early Patriot T. J. Remington of Bennington, Vt., is the owner of a handkerchief which his greatultem, Jarameel Doty, carried when the latter was a soldier in the revolution and later in the war of 1812. It was used at one time by the soldier to bind up his own wounds. Afflicted Horse Could Not Permanently Remain in Air. Away back in the old horse car times in Fall River there was a "bobtail" line running up Bedford street, and it was necessary to wind up the reins and let the horses take care of themselves while the driver collected fares that some passengers would not put in the box. John Vanderburgh, or "Jack," as he was called, was driver. One day he had an old pair of horses and one fell and the other trampled all over him and cut his legs pretty badly. A man in a suit is pointing at a tree with a stick. The tree has a large trunk and branches. There is a building in the background. Next morning John Bowker, the superintendent, asked "Jack" what was the matter with the horse that he fell down. "Jack" replied he thought the horse had blind staggers. "What!" said the "super"; blind staggers? I thought a horse that had the staggers went into the air." "Jack" looked at him and said: "Well, Mr. Bowker, don't he ever light." - Boston Herald. HONEYMOON IN A FREIGHT CAR. Journey of Canadian Couple Economical and Unique. "One of the queerest wedding journeys I ever heard of," the girl remarked, "was that of a friend of mine who was married in Canada the other day. She lived in Ontario, and her husband had settled on a farm in one of the new provinces in the far West. After they were married they set out for their new home in a freight car that the bridesroom had specially fixed for the journey. "The front half of the car was arranged as a sleeping and living room and kitchen combined. They had the necessary tables and folding chairs, box cupboards for the dishes and supplies, and a big oll-stove. Lamps hung from the roof of the car, ship fashion, and the whole interior looked particularly cozy when the bride had finished the work begun by her husband. "The odd part of the outfit was the fact that the rear half of the car was fitted up as a stable for the two horses that were a part of their wedding gifts. The journey ended safely and happily. I should imagine, from the letters I have had from the bride. No girl who could have a private car or a steam yacht for such a journey would be more enthusiastic than my friend was over her economical and unique honeymoon." How a Boy Got a Pet Rabbi'. A Lewiston man relates the following: "When I was a small boy somebody told me that if I saw a rabbit, and shouted loud, running straight at him meanwhile, he would stand still and let me catch him. "Not long afterward, while driving with my father ore day, I spied a rabbit in the road ahead. Like a flash I was out of the wagon, and, yelling at the top of my lungs, made for him. The creature actually stood stock still. I picked him up, took him home, built a hutch for him, and had him, for a playmate for a year or more."—Lewiston Journal. In Lions' Skins. It was the custom of ancient heroes to array themselves in the skins of wild animals, in order to strike more terror into the foe. Mourners' Agency in St. Petersburg. It pays to be a mourner in St. Petersburg, and there are agencies which employ great numbers of vagrants and tramps for the purpose. These agencies supply suitable clothing and pocket handkerchiefs—everything, in fact, except boots, which the tramp must show on his feet, or he will not be hired. When there is a more or less important funeral the tramps gather at the Nikolski Market and are selected by an employee of the agency. The wage for the occasion, with tips, generally equals about 3s."-Bits. FATES AGAINST HIS WEDDING. Sexton's First Choice Eloped and He Hated to Waste the License. Titled to Waste the License. The four Spence sisters, daughters of Rev. Allen Spence, an elder of the "Holliness" religious sect of Moores Ferry, Ky., evidently think there is better fish in the matrimonial sea than Lewis Sexton, a young farm hand, and have each jilted him in turn. Sexton, a few days ago, secured a marriage license to take Miss Clarinda Spence as a wife. Sexton had with him the written consent of the girl and secured the license without trouble. He did not go after his promised bride at once, but concluded to wait until the next day, as he thought his license would keep without lee. Next morning Sexton put on his "Sunday best" and went to the Spence residence, where he was informed that Clarinda, believing that as Sexton had not appeared the night before he had concluded to desert her, and that Edgar Highly, a former suitor, having appeared on the scene, she had eloped to Ohlo with him and been married. Sexton was inconsolable for an hour or so, but at last said that he supposed as the license contained the name of Spence it would make no difference to him which one of the Spence girls he married, and he alternately proposed to each of his former sweetheart's three sisters, but was reflected by each. His pleandings of the wasted License availed nothing, and he was forced to return home without a wife. —New York World. MISTAKE TAUGHT HIM LESSON Ever After He Knew Proper Answer to One Question. The Hon. W. W. Stetson, of Auburn, Me., stato superintendent of public schools, convulsed an audience of Maine "schoolmarms" at Newport one day recently by telling the following story of his early school life: "I distinctly remember my first day in school. It was also my brother's first day, and we occupied seats across the aisle from each other. It was in the afternoon when the young and pretty teacher came to my seat, placed her hand on my shoulder and asked, 'Don't you like me?' She didn't A teacher stands at the front of a classroom, facing two students seated at a desk. The teacher is wearing a white blouse and a skirt, and appears to be instructing the students. The classroom has a map of the world on the wall, and there are other students sitting at desks in the background. say 'like,' exactly, but it was a similar word spelled with four letters. I was almost scared to death, but I looked up at her and replied, 'No, ma'am.' "She then went to my brother, directly across the aisle, and asked him the same question, to which he replied, 'Yes, ma'am.' You may well imagine which of us got the raisins from the pudding during that term of school. All that I got I pounded out of my brother. I forthwith made up my mind that whenever that question was asked me again I would always eply, 'Yes, ma'am.'" Broke Leg Pulling On Boot Andrew J. Curtiss, of Bristol, a commercial traveler, broke a bone in his right leg while engaged in the apparently simple operation of pulling on his boot. This unusual occurrence has brought about a lawsuit in which Mr. Curtiss is the plaintiff and an accident association the defendant. Mr. Curtiss declares that he broke his leg in Granby on June 10, 1904, the left strap to his boot coming off suddenly, "by which his leg was suddenly and violently wrenched, to the right, said wrench causing a fracture of the public bone and has caused him great pain and soreness, which has continued to the present time." He says that for more than fifty-two weeks he has been totally disabled and unable to attend to his business or any other, and for much of the time has been confined to his bed—Hartford Times. Muzzled Women of Muscat Women of the better class in Muscat all wear muzzles, which barely allow them to open the mouth or, see with the eye or sneeze. If there happens to be a Cleopatra in Muscat she will never fascinate any Antony by the beauty of her well-shaped nose, for it is kept in a specially made, ugly case, in which it is impossible to tell its shape. But with all its faults this is a far better system than that of cutting off the nose, as men in the Kangra district in India are wont to do when any of their spouses have proved too fascinating.—Allahabad Pioneer. A Danbury, Conn., druggist had a prize potato which he kept in his back shop. The other day he discovered that the interior of the potato had been gnawed away and that a family of young mice was snugly settled within the shell. Why Ice Measure and "Gerrymander" Had No Similarity. In 1898 the Legislature of New Hampshire divided the city of Somersworth into wards in such a way that the Democrats claimed it had been gerrymandered by the Republican majority. An election followed in that city while the Legislature was still sitting at Concord, and the Democratic leaders, prominent among whom was George E. Bales, of Wilton, now forestry commissioner of New Hampshire, were discussing the probable outcome gloomily in one cor- A He Woke Them Up. ner, while the House was struggling with an unimportant and uninteresting bill relating to the cutting of ice on some ponds in a country town. The members had nearly fallen asleep over the long-winded speech of a member who was trying to tell about cutting ice. All were suddenly startled Into wakefulness when Mr. Eales started up with a telegram in his hand and claimed the floor with a ringing "Mr. Speaker!" Every one listened, wondering what the Democratic leader could have to say on so unimportant a bill. "Mr. Speaker," said Mr. Bales deliberately, "I want every one to understand that the bill under consideration had nothing to do with the Somersville gerrymander, because that didn't cut any ice." Mr. Bales had just received a telegram that the Democrats had carried Somersworth in spite of the redistricting. POLITICAL BOSS TOO USEFUL. Fellow-Townsmen Felt They Couldn't (Aloe Loss Him. "So you live in Setauket?" queried the lawyer of the farmer after they had occupied the same seat in a railway carriage for half an hour. "Yes, in Setauket." "Then you must have had an election last fall?" "Yes, we had one." "Did you have in your town a political boss?" "We did that. Yes, sir, we had a man who ran things to suit himself, and if anybody didn't like it, they could lump it." "It was a great year for downing the bosses, you know," continued the lawyer. "Did you down yours?" "Well, no, we didn't." "Didn't have votes enough, eh?" "Yes, we had votes enough, and at first we were going to do it, but when we happened to remember that he was the only man in our town who could answer right off whether Christopher Columbus of George Washing- The Boss of Setauket. ton discovered America, we decided that we couldn't spare him, for two or three years yet." Unexpected Stroke of Fortune. A curious story is that of the late Col. Harry McCalmont, of the British army. He was a poor man when he went to the reading of his uncle's will, hoping that perhaps the departed might have remembered him to the extent of an old watch. True enough, the lawyer read out the words: "To my nephew, Harry McCalmont, I leave my watch and chain." The legatee was satisfied and, leaning back, he drowsed, lulled by the monottonous tones of the lawyer as he read through the long instrument. At the close he arose to go. "I congratulate you," said the solicitor. "I don't know why you should," said the other. "You are residuary legatee," remarked the lawyer. "You will have £4,000 ($20,000) annually for the first five years from this date and afterward you will inherit some £7,000,000 ($35,000,000). Woman Collects Wild Animals Collecting wild birds and animals for zoological gardens is certainly a unique occupation for a woman, yet Mrs. C. F. Latham of Grant, Fla., seems to thoroughly enjoy it. Not long since, after securing the specimens for an order, the number of birds was cut down, and Mrs. Latham had three big blue herons and ten white ibis which refused to leave her dooryard when liberated, and for a long time ate with the family cat and hens. Though 65 years old, Mrs. Latham lives mostly out of doors and on the water. CITY MAN HELD SACK THAT WAS HIS PART IN "GOLD BRICK" GAME. Seemingly Guilleless: Rustic Was Not the Innocent Individual He Appeared, According to the Following Pathetic Tale of Wos. "Say," said the genial-looking man, "do I look like what is professionally and vulgarly known as 'easy?'" The stranger looked the speaker over carefully. "Can't say you do," he vouchsafed, encouragingly, "but I'm not a gold brick man." "Wouldn't make, any difference if you were," replied the other, snappily. "Give me a gold, brick man, a horse thief—anything but the honest farmer! I'm up to all but him. Say"—he lowered his voice confidentially—"I've been trimmed in the prettiest way you ever heard of. "It is just about six months since I went to a little town for my health. I had a tidy sum saved up, and, as my health had gotten bad and my nerves unstrung, the doctor advised me to go to a nice, quiet country place where I wouldn't waste too much money and could rest up. He especially advised staying out of doors, riding, driving and the like. "When I got to this little town, which shall be nameless, I found myself in the wilderness. The people didn't know of such a thing as golf. Croquet was the height of style up there. But there was a village livery stable kept by a sturdy old farmer, mainly for the benefit of summer boarders, and I got all the rough riding and rough driving I wanted, too, for that matter. I was out on a good horse every morning at daybreak, and by the time I had been up there three weeks, I felt like Ajax, Hercules and 'Philadelphia Jack' O'Brien combined. Indeed, I STABLE I Felt Sorry for the Old Fellow. felt so fine and so thoroughly acclimated that I half hated the idea of going back to the city, with its dirt and smoke and bustle and cold-hearted dishonesty. "One day I was talking to the sturdy old farmer who kept the livery stable and telling him all about the city. He never seemed to tire of hearing of the metropolls. "Lordy', he exclaimed, regretfully, 'Wal I dew wish I cud go there and dive. I cud, too ef t'warnt for this here livery stable. I got a friend that'll buy my farm at a good figger, but there's no givin' this here stable away. Y'see the darn thing only nets about twenty dollars a week profit on an average, an' nobody'll give me my price for it, after they see the books.' "I felt sorry for the old fellow and jokingly suggested that he keep a double set of books, a true one for his own benefit and a fake set to show to possible customers. His face lit up at the idea. "Lordy!" he exclaimed, 'You city men are bright, isn't ye? Wal, wal, wal! Never thought o' that! I'll do it right now.' "That night, as I sat on the plaza in the cool evening breeze and thought of 'the torrid old city, it occurred to me that if I bought out the old farmer myself I could live all the days of my life in peace and comfort, if not in luxury. The idea grew in my head and that night I turned it over and over with the result that the next morning I went down and offered the old man his price. A week later I was the village livery stable keeper." The genial-looking man stopped and gazed moodily into the distance. "Well?" suggested the stranger, "Did the old farmer get off to the city?" "Get off? Well I guess he did. I'm the one that didn't get off. I'm the sucker that got stuck there and stayed until my last penny was gone. Say, if you ever meet Beelzebub in a white beard and blue jeans, telephone for me, will you?" "Why, what did the old fellow do?" "Do! Do! He did me!" "But hadn't you seen the books?" "Of course I had. But that cherub-faced rustic with the innocent accent had been keeping a double set of books right along!" Female Barbers in Austria.

It can be easily proven if a a man is a good citizen by finding out if he is a tax payer, even a poll tax payer. On the outskirts of the city are many pieces of desirable property that our young men should purchase. In years this same property will become more valuable. The moral side of this great nation revolts at the least cruelty inflicted on unfortunate ones in foreign countries, but never flinch at the lynching bees and other inhuman acts committed against colored people in their midst. The colored lawyers in Jacksonville, are working arduously along race lines for the full recognition of members of the race on the jury. Exception was made in a case this week, where there was no colored men on the jury. Of course the judge overruled the exception, but it only goes to show how our men are being discriminated against on every side. THERE are many men of family who have been paying rent for a number of years, the amount of which would be sufficient to have purchased a home, several times. It is time for these men to begin thinking for themselves and purchase a home This can be easily done for the same amount of money and in cases less than the cost of renting. For the past number of years hucksters were allowed to sell their wares around the market. An effort is now being made by the butchers to stop all selling on the outside of the market except by country vendors. The abolishing of this long used system would inflict a hardship on many poor persons and prevent them from earning an honest living. City council should let well enough alone. WITHIN the past few years the board of education has erected four commodious buildings for use of the white children, three of them being in new location. At present another very large building is in course of erection, and rebuilding another one is now being agitated. THE TRIBUNE can truthfully declare that there is more than enough room in the various schools for every white child in the city; this is a fact that the board of education should be commended. On the other hand from official figures, there are several thousand colored boys and girls who are unable to secure places in the public school system on account of its crowded condition, and yet no steps are being taken to give this class of citizens another school, or even remodeling the three buildings now occupied, as neither one of them is fit for the purpose used. We are not begrudging the white children for their schools, but it is hoped that a small crumb of a building may fall to the colored children. For the past several weeks Chattanooga, Tenn., has been in a fervor on account of the arrest, trial and sentence of Ed. Johnson, charged with assault. He was sentenced to be hung this week, but a stay of proceeding was held to allow a review of the case by the Supreme Court. In the meantime a murderous mob gathered, stormed the jail and lynched the accused. His guilt was not clearly proven. The woman who was assaulted did not say positively that he was her assailant; he might have been a white man with blacken face, of Johnson's built. At any rate, the guilt was fasten on the accused and he suffered for it in an unlawful manner protesting his innocence to the last. And too, this lynching took place in a large city surrounded by every protection. It showed that the officers winked at the mob. The intervention of the Supreme Court placed the prisoner under federal control and for that reason the jailer will be held strictly accountable for the prisoner. The attitude of the federal government towards this class of lawlessness will be shown in this case and its development and termination will be eagerly watched. Masonic Notes.

His text was from Isiah 59:20 Bishop Turner was somewhat indisposed and preached to some disadvantage, but the sermon was all that could be expected and as usual everbody was much pleased at 8 p.m. the Twilight Reapers Aid and Social Club attended in a body. The annual sermon was delivered to them by Rev. J. A. Lindsay, D. D. which was fitting for the occasion. After preaching the club presented the pastor and the church with a neat sum of money after which the pastor responded, also Bro. R. B. Barnes. Our protracted meeting began on Monday night and quite a number of persons have determined to fall out with their ways and fall in line with Christians to seek things not of this world but that which is eternal.

At the Union meeting which was held at Bethel Sunday after noon the visitors and members of the League were given a musical treat which was rendered by Miss Mary Stewart who sang a solo which would be a credit to any professional. Last but not least, Miss Fanny Spaulding, one of our choir members who sung a solo of which Mrs. J. E. Johanson was the accompanist and captivated the audience. Applause after applause was given Miss Spaulding, and it goes to show that she is destined to be one of the leading vocalists of our city. On to morrow we will have a 25 cents rally as we have a few debts we want to cancel. We hope our members and friends will be as liberal as possible. Allen League has taken new life on and everybody is invited to take a part in the league meeting at 4:30 every Sunday afternoon. An attractive program will be rendered. Our Sunday School is making preparations for its Easter celebration, Services as usual to-morrow. Revival meetings will continue during the week. What You Say. Well I say; if Booker T.

A Rumor Shattered; EDITOR TRIBUNE: For some time there has been circulating a rumor to the effect that my sister, Miss Georgia Seabrook, has been secretly married to a certain young man of this city.

I can assure the public that whenever she becomes matrimonially incline, the ceremony will not take place behind closed door. Slanderers and gossips are referred to the marriage records of Chatham County for verification of this denial. HENRY WELCH. The New Magazine. 9 Prof W. H. FERRIS. So he wrote to Prof. Henry P. Wright, Dean of the Yale College Faculty and to Mr. Henry S. Thompson, Secretary for appointments of Harvard University, to recommend a Yale and a Harvard graduate capable of doing first class literary work, especially in writing upon subjects of interest to the colored people of America. By a strange coincidence they both recommended Prof. William H. Ferris, a master of arts, both of Yale and Harvard Universities, who received his A. B. degree from Yale University, taking two year special honors in philosophy, one year special honor in English literature and stood among the best twelve in a class of over two hundred in sociology. Prof. Fergus, then spent two years of graduate work at Yale in philosophy, sociology and English literature. In 1897, he won one of the $252 Hopkins' scholarships in the Harvard Divinity School and in the fall of 1898, was honored by being the first Negro to be admitted to the Browning Literary Society of Boston. He has written for the Boston Transcript. His article upon the "Race Problem from a Pullman," was printed in The New York Evening Post, in May 1904, and in Literary Digest, same time quoted extensively from an article by Prof. Ferris, in the A. M. E. Church Review upon "The religion of the Negro." His article, "The Japanese and the Negro," was reprinted upon the editorial page of The Transcript. His article upon "The Jacksonville Fire," was received favorable as editorial comment from the editor of The Transcript. Then again his article upon "The Mullato Problem," was printed in a conspicuous position in The Transcript, in May 1903. Then too Prof. Ferris may be remembered as the brilliant Washington correspondent for the Boston Guardian in the winter and early spring of 1903. Mr. Reynolds is now perfecting arrangements for establishing the magazine, the first number of which will probably appear in the course of two or three months. Prior to issuing the magazine, he will publish Prof. Ferris' Lecture on "The Ten Greatest Negroes and the Beacon Lights of the Negro History," sometime in April. This will be sent out as a sort of introduction and prospect us for the magazine. So this magazine will be the means of letting the white people of the north know what the Negroes are doing. It will also be the means of letting the Negroes know what the white man is doing so this magazine will be different from any colored magazine that has yet been published. The problem is, do the colored people desire a magazine of the type and character described above, if so, Prof. R. E. Lee Reynolds will devote his energies to it. Increased Interest. 7 Interest in the Georgia State Fair continues to grow. The second great mass meeting was held last Wednesday at St. Philip's Monumental Church, New Street. A charter has been applied for and certificate for ten thousand shares of stock at one dollar per share, has been issued. More than one thousand shares of this stock have already been sold or engaged and every day Presidents R. R Wright is receiving many letters from prominent persons throughout the state commending the project generally, and many of them are applying for stock. At least one county has asked for one hundred shares. The permanent organization will include besides the regular genera, officers, about sixteen vice president chosen from the various districts of the state, and a board of directors of one hundred members, chosen from the counties in the state. These county officers will have charge of the local county organizations and will constitute the executive committee of the general organization. A great deal will be made of the Woman's Department in the fair display and more than a thousand dollars will be offered in premiums for the best exhibits of woman's work. One of the principal features of this department will be the display of woman's work in the household art—cooking, preserving and sewing, embroidery and fancy work. Premiums offered for the best displays in the those lines will be published in another issue. Sengstacke Academy Dots. The second term of the above school ended yesterday with examinations and a literary program prepared by the J. B. Ford Literary Society. The program consisted of recitations, solos, choruses and quotations. The solo entitled "Thanksgiving Day" by Miss Asylene Malone and the one by Miss Viola Berrien entitled "Spring" were both beautifully rendered. The recitations by Master Theodore Berrien, Misses Ellen Humes, Essie Arnold and Pauline and Lillian Ferguson received hearty applause. This society meets every Friday at 13 o'clock. Visitors are made welcome. Many of the pupils are out of school on account of the planting season. The last term for school year 1905 to 1906 begins next week. In Memory In Memory of our loving mother MRS. DIANA ADAMS, who died March 19, 1905. A tender mother loved by all. Oh How we miss thy loving voice Even though we weep, Though sorrow fills our breast We do not wish to call thee from thy rest, Sleep on dear one and take thy rest. Thy voice on earth, will sound no more, We will obey thy last request We'll meet thee on the other shore There we in perfect peace will dwell Dear mother, fare thee well, farewell.

The committee had the hall exquisitely decorated and the supper table contained vlands to suit any appetite. The attendance was good. A short history of the Lodge was given by P. G. M. Jas. M. Simms. Eureka Lodge is the oldest secret institution in the south and is the mother of Negro Masonry in the state. A Bleb Institution The Twilight Reapers Aid and Social Club celebrated its anniversary on Tuesday night at Masonic Temple. The auditorium was becoming decorated and the large number of ladies who attended along with the other guests, had a pleasant time. This club is one of the strongest financial and otherwise in the city. Its affairs are admirably handled and to such an extent that it has a larger surplus in bank than any club in the city. The young men and especially the officers are to be commended for the fostering of such an excellent institution. The services at the First Congregational Church were well attended on last Sunday. At the morning service, Mr. Haynes of the Y. M. C. A., gave a forceful and able address, and plainly showed the great good that the Y. M. C. A. is doing as an uplift of our young men. Rev. W. L. Cash preached at night. Much interest is being manifested in the Junior Endeavor meetings on Sunday afternoon. The S. S. and G. E. S. are well attended. Services to-morrow as usual. Visitors are always welcomed. True Reformer. As announced in the Tribune of last week, Rev. Taylor of Richmond, Va., president of the True Reformers spoke at the Second Baptist Church on Monday night last. The meeting was presided over by Rev Ashby, chief of this division. In thoughtful and cordial words, Dr. J. H. King welcomed the speaker who gave a lucid address on the institution he represented and proved it to be the strongest Negro institution in the country. The crowd was not as large as anticipated, but it made up in interest shown the speaker. Rev. Taylor spoke in a forceful manner and carried convincing thoughts. The speaking was interspersed with singing by the choir and a solo by "Prof" Chas. F. Waters. The opening remarks by Chief Ashby were very appropriate. On Tuesday night a joint session was held by all of the True Reformers and the Grand Master gave a "family talk" which was followed by a banquet. He left the next morning for Columbus. Honored by a Smoker. It was a happy and congenial set of men who gathered at the home of Mr. W. S. Roundfield on East Anderson street on Wednesday evening to do honor to a former townman who was on a visit to the city, Mr. Paul Clark of Tampa. Among the ones present were Messrs. T. A. M. Milledge, W. R. Fields, J. F. Jones, T. H. Green, J. F. Butler, H. B. Wright, F. J. Hilton, M. G. Robertson, Jno. W. Scott, L. W. Sales, Paul Clark and W. S. Roundfield. The evening was quickly and most agreeably spent amidst pleasant reminiscences. Adept hands prepared the repast and it was fully enjoyed. Happy sayings and words of friendship were indulged in by each one, and all went to prove that the honored guest is held in the highest esteem by his friends, all of whom gave expressions of the hope for his future prosperity and happiness. Mr. Clark arrived in the city on Saturday last, and the coming of no one eloited keener delight from his friends than that of his. He holds a large space in the hearts of his friends who have unbounded confidence in him and admiration on account of his sterling worth and qualities. Mr. Clark is conducting a successful dry goods, notions and shoe business in Tampa, and is getting along nicely among his new friends of whom he speaks highly. The friends of his family will be glad to know that they are well and becoming excellent Spanish scholars. The citizens of Tampa need to feel proud over the accession of such a gentleman as Mr. Clark. He returned ed yesterday, carrying with him the continued good will of a host of loyal and sincere friends. Musicale at the College.

Procession will then proceed headed by the Uniform Ranks to the above named church where an appropriate programme will be rendered. The dramatic readings at Beach Institute Tuesday night and at G. S.I. College Thursday afternoon by Prof. Clarence H. Robinson of Boston, Mass., were of a very high class. The court scene from the "Mer. chant of Venice", "The Cardinal," "The Black Regiment," "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" were very forcibly and ably rendered. His repeated encores with popular selections were also very greatly enjoyed by the audiences. The whole program proved Prof. Robinson to be an artist worthy of the city of culture from which he came. Our people welcome all such men of talent and training and Prof. Robinson will receive much larger audiences when he comes to Savannah again, because we know his ability by personal acquaintance.

CURE THE HABIT No matter what the death certificate says, the fundamental cause of one-half the deaths recorded is constipation. It robs the complexion of its clearness, the eye of its brightness. It's a slow but sure form of suicide. Cure yourself of the habit, not by drugs but by eating daily of foods like DR.

It is a sad but certain fact that every year brings an increase in the number of operations performed upon women in our hospitals. More than three-fourths of the patients lying on those snow-white beds are women and girls who are awaiting or recovering from operations made necessary by neglect. Every one of these patients had plenty of warning in that bearing down feeling, pain at the left or right of the abdomen, nervous exhaustion, pain in the small of the back, pelvic catarrh, dizziness, fatulency, displacements or irregularities. All of these symptoms are indications of an unhealthy condition of the female organs, and if not needed the trouble may make headway until the penalty has to be paid by a dangerous operation, and a lifetime of impaired usefulness at best, while in many cases the results are fatal. Miss Luella Adams, of Seattle, Wash., writes: "About two years ago I was a great sufferer from a severe female trouble, pains and headaches. The doctor prescribed for me and finally told me that I had a tumor and must undergo an operation if I wanted to get well. I felt that this was my death warrant, but I spent hundreds of dollars for medical help, but the tumor kept growing. Fortunately I corresponded with an aunt in New England States, and she advised me to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, as it was said to cure tumors. I did so and immediately began the health and I was entirely enthralled, the tumor disappearing entirely an operation. I wish every suffering woman would try this great preparation." Just as surely as Miss Adams was cured of the troubles enumerated in her letter, just so surely will Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound cure other women who suffer from female troubles, inflammation, kidney troubles, nervous excitability or nervous prostration.

WORST FORM OF ECZEMA Black Splotches All Over Face—Affected Parts Now Clear as Ever—Cured by the Cuticula Remedies. "About four years ago I was afflicted with black aplothes all over my face and a few covering my body, which produced a severe itching irritation, and which caused me a great deal of annoyance and suffering, to such an extent that I was forced to call in two of the leading physicians of my town. After thorough examination of the dreaded complaint they announced it to be skin eczema in its worst form. They treated me for the same for the length of one year, but the treatment did me no good. Finally my husband, purchased a set of the Cuticura Remedies, and, after using, the contents of the first bottle of Cuticura Resolvent in connection with the Cuticura Soap and Ointment, the breaking out entirely stopped. I continued the use of the Cuticura Remedies for six months, and after that every splatch was entirely gone and the affected parts were left as clear as ever. The Cuticura Remedies not only cured me of that dreadful disease, eczema, but other complicate 'troubles' is well. Lizzie E. Sledge, 540 Jones Ave., Selma, Ala. Oct. 28, 1905."

FARM AND STOCK -YARD If those who raise poultry would realize that fowls that have had free access to sunshine during seven, eight or nine months in the year miss it greatly during the months of confinement, they would do some changing in their methods of house-building and arrangement. Unfortunately many writers are decrying the scratching sheds, claiming that they are not sufficiently valuable to warrant their cost and maintenance. Of course, if one has a large poultry house, well lighted and so arranged that all the sun possible enters, then possibly the scratching shed is superfluous. But how many such houses the there the country through? One may have a very small house proper, and by the aid of the scratching shed raise a good many fowls. But whatever the arrangement of the poultry quarters, plan so that they will have all the sunlight possible, and you will see a decided gain in the egg production. Indianapolis News. A Forward Movement. The American Shorthorn Breeders' Association took two great steps forward at its annual meeting last week, says National Stockman. The first was in admitting to registry animals from ancestors recorded in the 40th volume of the herd book instead of the 20th volume, published in 1873. This admits to record many valuable cattle which were shut out under the old rule. The second step was the recognition of the milking Shorthorn. An appendix for the registration of dairy Shorthorns was provided for and it was decided to mark with an asterisk the name of any cow giving 8,000 pounds or more milk in a year. Dairy classes at shows will also be encouraged and alided financially. There seems to be a general feeling that Shorthorn breeders should get back to the dual purpose idea in breeding and that breeders of milking strains deserve financial encouragement. Moreover, farmers are demanding Shorthorns that give more milk rather than those of extreme beef type. The association acted wisely in taking steps to perpetuate general-purpose cattle. Keep All Machines In Working Order. Let us give some of the much abused implement manufacturers credit for placing on their machines, in plain letters, at least one half of the recipe for implement longevity: "Keep nuts tight," and "oll all bearings." Yet I fear that through very familiarity with this important advice we often neglect it. For surely no one who has handled farm machinery and observed its decline in his own or his neighbor's hands, will ask argument as to the necessity of oiling the bearings and keeping nuts tight. There are many things to look after upon the farm, and if one is not wide awake something is apt to suffer neglect. And this when it applies to machinery, constitutes a great farm "leak." From the vibration of many machines, and from the shrinking of wood parts in all of them, there is a constant tendency for the nuts to work lose. If care is taken in the first place to keep things snug, so there is no "lost motion," the vibration will be much reduced, but it is sometimes a very good plan to put on an extra nut where there is continued trouble—the two will stand a lot of shaking. Go over all machines, some wet day and tighten everything that ought to be tight. But if you will fail to have wet days, then do it before starting to work. It will surely pay, for, even if no permanent damage is done, there is great loss of time when one must stop in the middle of a field and chase his shadow half a mile for a bolt. Another case in point: A wagon just coming out of its newness was neglected until one day a solid hour was needed to replace lost nuts and bolts. Ten minutes would have done the work earlier. Little and often is a good rule in oiling. I think more farmers are more careful in this direction than in watching the nuts. Windmills, however, are liable to suffer, simply because they are so high headed. Don't let them squeak—it's harder on your pocket book and still harder on your neighbor's nerves. Flows on being put away, should have their shares and shovels carefully smeared with axle grease or a good heavy oil. Coal oil will not answer; though it is good to cut rust it will not prevent it. Paint is a paying protection on both wood and metal parts, for it can be had cheaply and is easily applied by anyone. Two years ago the writer purchased for five dollars a second hand breaking plow. The share was very rusty and the original paint was gone entirely. We finally persuaded it to "scour," gave it a good coat of paint, used it a year, and sold it through the same man for seven dollars. One may not always wish to sell, but I believe it pays to paint just the same. Last, but by no means least, give all machinery the kindest of care as regards shelter. It is really surprising to see tools standing outdoors, so sel- evident are the results. If you have little room, take the larger implements somewhat to pieces, and in that way quite a lot of machinery may be stored in a small space. Then, as you value your self respect, don't allow the chickens to roost over any tool. If no space is available, it will pay to build a cheap shed rather than let things go without shelter. Finally, treat each piece of machinery as a special friend, and your reward, in dollars and cents as well as in satisfaction, shall be in accord therewith—H. T. M. in the Indiana Farmer. A New Farm Crop. Four years ago I bought a two ounce package of a new grain called speltz. I afterwards learned that its true name was emmer. I knew nothing about it and sowed it about the 25th of May, by which time it should have been a foot high. It made a small shock and it stood out in rainy weather and fell down, and while it probably would have made a peck of seed it was so damaged that I threw it to the hogs. "The plant resembles barley, with a larger grain and somewhat larger head. I did not think it would be worth while to grow it, but the next year I read something about it and found it was identical in name with emmer, which was largely grown in the Northwest and is taking a prominent place as a money crop. The following year I sowed a bushel of it and it yielded at the rate of forty-four bushels to the acre. I raised enough of it to test it as food for horses, cattle and poultry. It grows better with oats and, ground and mixed with an equal bulk of bran or corn and cobmeal, it seems to give as good results either for laying on flesh or for milk for dairy cows; and, mixed half and half with oats, was found an admirable food for horses. The third year's crop was fifty-three bushels to the acre, and I grew several acres; but my crop for 1905, sown on very thin land, made a lighter yield than before, but still it thrashed out over thirty bushels to the acre, and, as it weighs eight pounds heavier than oats to the bushel this can be added to the yield when we estimate the amount of feed it will produce. The crop is one adapted to the semiarid lands, and is not as likely to be cut down in the yield as oats by a dry spring. It has the hardy properties of oats and can be sown just as soon as the ground can be worked in the spring and can be harvested at the same time as oats. I have sown oats and emmer on the same day every spring that I have grown the emmer, and they are harvested at the same time. We sow at the rate of two bushels to the acre and think, it a better crop to sow clover with than oats, as it does not shade the ground as much. In my judgment, it is one of the best and cheapest poultry foods that can be grown, and, either soaked in hot water for twelve hours or ground and mixed with corn, it is a cheap and excellent food. From my somewhat limited experience with it, I would say it is a crop well worth growing by farmers generally. If soaked it can also be fed to young pligs and brood sows. The grain of oats being much smaller than emmer, and the first that I planted having been mixed slightly with oats, I find the proportion of oats has increased ever since, so that now it is perhaps 10 percent oats. While this does not hurt it for feeding or reduce the yield materially, it is a disadvantage when grown for seed. Even with this mixed emmer and oats it would take but a short time to pull the oats out of the shocks where seed was to be saved, and I shall do this another year in order to get a pure stock of seed. The straw from emmer is fully equal to barley straw, being soft and bright, and it is eaten readily by stock. One disadvantage of feeding the straw, however, is that there is such a large proportion of beards in it that it sometimes makes' the horses' mouths sore, and we cannot separate the beards as easily with the machine now used with blowers as we could with the old machines. I have not made any test of the feeding value of emmer which would enable me to speak positively in regard to it as compared with other grain, but in corresponding with a manufacturer of oatmeal I find that oats give 50 to 55 percent of grain when hulled, while emmer gives 78 percent, there being two distinct grains in each hull. This can be readily discovered by rubbing out a few heads of each in the hands. In running our emmer through the fanning mill we get out bushels of almost pure hulled grain—Waldo F.

Although Japan has revealed herself as highly enlightened in so many spheres of civilization, she has not yet applied reformatory principles to the institution of marriage. There is as yet no such thing in Japan as equality between sexes. The law relating to marriage recognizes no wrongs except on the part of the wife, from whom the husband may obtain a divorce by merely asserting that he is tired of her, or upon any of the following grounds: Disobedience, adultery, harrenness, jealously, physical antipathy, talkativeness or theft. When a girl is about to marry, her mother impresses upon her various rules of conduct to be followed during her wedded life. Some of these are: "Be always amiable to your mother-in-law and father-in-law." "Don't talk much. "Get up early, go to bed late, and never sleep in the afternoon. "Until you are fifty, never mix in crowds. "Do not consult fortune tellers. "Do not wear light clothes. "Be humble and polite. "Never allow yourself to be jealous, "Even if your husband is in the wrong never get angry. "Never speak evil of your neighbors. "Strict obedience to a husband is a wife's noblest virtue."—Harper's Weekly. An Albany Hen. North Albany has the most accommodating hen on record. A certain boarding house proprietress in that enterprising section of the city has introduced a novelty into the fresh egg market. She has a hen which is so well trained that it lays an egg "while you wait." This is the modus operandi, vouched for by a man of undoubted veracity. "The hen comes to the back door of the house every morning and cackles until the door is opened for it. The housewife invariably gives the hen a bit of green stuff, such as cabbage or lettuce, as a tidbit. Then she shows the fowl an egg, after which she puts it into the wood box. The hen goes over to the box, looks in and makes a great fuss before jumping in. In the course of a short time she adds to the stock of eggs by leaving a duplicate of the one placed in the box by the housewife. Biddy then goes to the door and cackles to have the door opened. With a nice little bow the accommodating fowl sedately walks away, apparently satisfied that she has accomplished her mission. This little scene is enacted regularly every morning, and up to date has lasted for three weeks."—Albany Journal. INTERPRETED.

GRAND TO LIVE And the Last Laugh is Always the Best "Six months ago I would have laughed at the idea that there could be anything better for a table beverage than coffee," writes an Ohio woman—"now I laugh to know there is. "Since childhood I drank coffee as freely as any other member of the family. The result was a puny, slicky girl, and as I grew into womanhood I did not gain in health, but was afflicted with heart trouble, a weak and disordered stomach, wrecked nerves and a general breaking down, till last winter at the age of 38 I seemed to be on the verge of consumpition.

In a couple of weeks I noticed a great change. I became stronger, my brain grew clearer, I was not troubled with forgetfulness as in coffee times, my power of endurance was more than doubled. The heart trouble and indigestion disappeared and my nerves became steady and strong. "I began to take an interest in things about me. Housework and home-making became a pleasure. My friends have marveled at the change and when they enquire what brought it about, I answer 'Postum Food Coffee, and nothing else in the world.'" Name given by Postum Co. Battle Greek Mich.

Some people speak ill of others and then wonder why fault is found. Consideration granted through cabolery rarely has a firm foundation. Ideas are worth just as much as can be worked out of them and no more. It is a waste of time to argue over an order which comes from headquarters. The faculty of seeing things through self-interest comes without much practice. Attainments of any sort do not come without something in the nature of toll. When leisure becomes burdensome a turn should be made without hesitation. There is always a way to manage a stubborn person without resorting to force. Courage of attacking difficulties, patient concentration of the attention, perseverance through failure—these are characteristics which after-life specially requires.-Herbert Spencer. Religion is nothing but love-perfect love toward God and toward man—without formality, without hypocrisy, without partiality; depending on no outward form to preserve its vitality or prove its existence.-Wm.

We must not forget that if earthly love has in the vulgar mind been degraded into mere animal passion, it still remains in its purest sense the highest mystery of our existence, the most perfect blessing and delight on earth, and at the same time the truest pledge of our more than human nature.—Max Mueller. LITTLE LAW IN THESE COURTS. It is a good thing that justice, like charity, is long lived, for if it were not it could never stand its stormy and perilous trips through many of the Justice of the Peace courts of Kansas. As it is 'the justice courts are more often made only the preliminary hearing place from which appeals can be taken to the district courts rather than used to arrive at definite decisions. The country justice is generally a farmer known for his sterling honesty and courage. He does not need to know any law and it is not supposed to. The opposing attorneys are always glad to tell him what the law is. He hears both sides and invariably decides in favor of what he thinks is right rather than what the law may be. This leads often to amusing situations, for frequently the opinion of the Justice of the Peace and that of the Supreme Court do not coincide. At a trial here a few days ago some amusing features developed. After some trivial question of law had been argued, so long that the Justice of the Peace had become thoroughly weary of it, he arose in all his dignity and announced: "Now, may it please the court, I'm going to decide this question in Jones' favor." Of course his use of the flattering references of the lawyers to himself was the signal for laughter. Then when it was time for supper he forgot himself again and gravely charged the jury "not to talk to each other about this case after you separate." The constables of these courts are also frequently chosen without regard to their minute knowledge of the law. At a trial in Chautauqua county a short time ago the jury sent its foreman to the door of the schoolhouse and called for the Justice and the Constable of his court. The crowd gathered at the window outside the building and thought that its long hours of waiting were to be rewarded at last with a verdict. But the jury wanted only information. The justice had given the instructions from both lawyers to the jury and it was laboring between exactly opposite theories. The Justice had already shown a slight prejudice in the case by saying to one of the lawyers that "if the law is against us, we'll have to stand it, I guess." Hearing this, the constable considered it no infringement of the law if he also "took sides." So when the jury wanted the instructions explained, the Justice took those given by the lawyer who was his friend and the constable took the others. An extended argument between the Justice and his constable concerning the law and merits of the case followed, with the jury as an audience, while the crowd outside cheered whenever a sledgehammer blow of court oratory would rattle its way out through the windows into the chilly night alr. About 2 A.M. the jury decided to disagree and the countrymen dispersed, while the opposing lawyers rode back to town together.—Kansas City Times, A Bas Mademoiselle! Parisian women have formed a league for the purpose of obliterating the invidious distinction of title between the married and unmarried of their sex.

It is all very well for French women to take part in this grand movement, but how are our American sisters to overcome the difficulty confronting them? We cannot believe that our maldens fair and otherwise are ready to drop the Miss and adopt the Mrs. If the change of title is to be effected without the present gratifying ceremony—Chicago Record-Herald. A SCHOLARLY SUNDAY SERMON BY BISHOP SEYMCUR. Brooklyn, N. Y.-At the Church of the Messiah, the Right Rev. Bishop Seymour was the preacher Sunday morning. He chose for his subject, "My Siepherd," and his text was Psalm 1:23: "The Lord is my shepherd; therefore I can lack nothing," he said: We pass from the brightness of Christmas and Epiphany to the season of Lent that closes with the darkness of Good Friday. We ere wbd Epiphany goodby let us consider what it tells us, namely, that our Saviour came to be the Saviour of all mankind. Epiphany falls into two divisions: The Christmas of the Jew and the Christmas of the Gentile. First, the Christmas of the Jew, when the shepherds came as the representatives of the shepherd nation: came called on by an angel through whose dispensation the law was given to the Jew; came to the manger; came to worship. And then the Gentile Christmas, called Epiphany, when the kings were led by the star to worship the child. And then the fact that the Jew and the Gentile alike fell down and worshipped the little child, a baby, weaker than the weakest, I may say, of all the young, and yet-Him by whom the worlds were made. It is indeed a wonderful spectacle to see the Jew and the Gentile alike worshiping the babe. We leave the angelic host that sang over Bethlehem and the brightness of the star which brought the three kings—at all events the kings of the East worshipped the little babe with appropriate gifts—for the transition period of Lent. Could I do better than ask you, with myself, to consider our personal responsibility in the words of the text: "The Lord is my shepherd; therefore can I lack nothing?" Here is a declaration which may make or not, as we choose, for the possessive pronoun is intensive—"my," as though it were something that we loved, as jewels of earth—they are mine; I own them." So: "The Lord is my shepherd," and based upon that declaration is the fact; "therefore can I lack nothing." There is no word which more frequently falls from our lips than "I." It is the shortest word in human speech—as single letter—because it brings to the surface personality. Go whether you will, on every side you will hear men, women and child—uttering "I." "I" is to each one the centre of the universe; everything radiates from it and everything comes into it. And this is right in its way, only sometimes it is exaggerated and we have what we call selfishness. But I am not disposed to criticise that, just now, only to say that this pronoun "my" grows out of the personal pronoun "I." because it_denotes ownership—"my." And we may say, the poorest of us, first we own ourselves: "I, myself, I belong to myself," and it is on the basis of that claim that we have the wars for independence, for liberty or personal right, and men resist the idea of being owned by the others, and prominently in this land of freedom claim to be free—"I own myself." I have not time to analyze the worth of the claim, for it is immense: "Mine, spirit, body," this creature, of God-like mould and sunning workmanhip, how marvellously built up! A single profession, numbering some of the greatest men, devotes days and weeks to studying it and yet has not fathomed its secrets: The medical profession is largely experimental to day. It has made wonderful discoveries in fifty years, and still it has not yet probed this little mass of matter, the body, to its depths. And back of it is the mind, the intellect, the memory that holds the past and hope that grasps the future; the mind that deals with premises and conclusions and reasons. It has no moral quality, it is pure intellect. Deeper down than it is the spirit, the seat of conscience, the moral sense, marvelous beyond expression! that emphasizes our nearness to God. Body, mind and spirit bound up together and each of us claim to own that trinity blended into unity. "I, myself, I own myself." - Let us pass on. "My time;" that is, "my life. These hours and days and weeks are mine," and, hence, the wage question, when men claim the right to sell their time for so much. So, you see, we claim the ownership of time. Of course, it is not really ours. "Our times are in His hand." Still, we claim it. "My years are so many." Hence, we see another element of wealth—time, opportunity. Then again, character, "my character," emphasized by the name. A good name is worth a good deal. We pass still further: "My position in life, in society, my parentage, my surroundings, my friends and relatives—these belong to me." And they are worth a great deal sometimes. Then we come down to that with which we are most familiar: "My material wealth, my stocks and, bonds, jewels, wardrobe. They belong to me." Now, that brings us to David's claim: "The Lord, is my shepherd." You do not give up the other things, but you make another claim, and that you can only make through Him who allows it, and He allows it by coming here to be reached and embraced, if you will, and loved. He revealed Himself as one of us in order that through Him we, by the Holy, Ghost, might reach the Father, for He comes out from the invisible to be visible. He can be touched and handled and seen here. He was here with a certain generation when this was the case. We must not envy them, for we have a greater privilege than they. You remember Thomas, Jesus said to him after he had been so obstinate. "Because thou hast lost Me thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen and yet have believed." We may believe if we will, on the undoubted testimony of the ages, that Jesus after death was on this earth. He had passed through the graven gate of death and had consummated for man the glory of the resurrection, and took our nature into heaven and blessed it on the throne of God, where He ever remains as a magnet to draw men in love, so that we may say with David, "The Lord is my shepherd, therefore can I lack nothing." Now, my friends, I wish to say that no other element of wealth can enable us to say, "Therefore can I lack nothing." Try the experiment with which we are most familiar as a world power, wealth in any form. I have been with some of the wealthiest men that the last generation knew. I have seen them in the hour of death and as they died the bonds and stocks of wealth fell down and passed hands. It could not buy an entrance ticket to Paradise nor to heaven. If you would be wise consider the end and nothing between. Forecast the frature, not as bounded by the horizon of earth, but by the glories of Paradise and heaven. "The Lord is my shepherd; therefore can I lack nothing," because He was born with us, nay, conceived with us, and He goes through life's journey with us as our friends do who survive us, but they must part with us as we bid them the last farewell; but He, of whom the Psalmist speaks, "The Lord my shepherd." He dies with me, is buried with me; He goes to Paradise with my soul; He will be with me at the last great day, and if I have been loyal and true to Him, He will welcome me to His everlasting blessing; He will be my advocate and plead His sacrifice to take away my sins. Observe that the religion which Jesus gives us embraces the whole of life. There is no other religion that does. You may divide them into religions that appeal to pleasure, "the lusts of the flesh," and the religions that appeal to the pride of intellect. Take the ancient Saduceeism, the medieval Mohammedanism, and the present-day Mormonism. They are the flesh in religions. They cannot begin to tell mankind until passion shall develop in manhood and womanhood. Take the intellectual systems of Greece and the philosophies of the present day that appeal to the intellect, and a man is almost half way upon the journey of life before they touch him. Take Christianity; where does it begin? With conception, with birth, infancy, childhood, youth, manhood, in health, in slackness, in death and the resurrection and the life eternal in the presence of the great White Throne. Christianity embraces the religion of life. Does it appeal simply to the body? No. But it appeals to the body, the intellect and the soul, Remember the declaration of St. John, "the disciple whom Jesus loved." He says: "The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, as of the glory of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth." He embraced the whole of man. The Word was made flesh, but with that was intellect and spirit, and so He was a complete and perfect man. This morning we were joined together hand in hand in the prayers offered by your rector, but when we come to the creed, how is it? The husband drops the hand of the wife, the father of the child, the friend of the friend, and each for himself, as in the Day of Judgment, stands on his own feet and says, "I believe." It is a personal act. "The Lord is my shepherd; therefore can I lack nothing." There is one element of wealth on which we can rest, and which will enable us to say "We shall lack nothing." Without our Saviour we shall lack everything when we come to die. I care not who we are or whether we have clad in the purple of kings or the splendor of jewels, we shall be stripped stark naked and up naked into the presence of God. We shall lack nothing if we can say from the depths of our soul, "The Lord is my shepherd." Then when the end comes we shall be able to say: "Thy mercy and loving kindness—Thy mercy for forgiveness; Thy loving kindness for my needs—shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever." There is no dwelling place here. I was once a rector in Brooklyn, but where are my parishioners now? Most of them are gone. Within the last two months two of my classmates in Columbia are gone. And there are but few of those I knew in the lecture room left. There is no dwelling place here. It is a cheat we put upon ourselves when we talk of houses as dwelling places. They are not. God grant, my brothers, that it may be our lord to "Dwell together forever in the house of the Lord," which will be our eternal home. The Busy Watchmaker. A watchmaker who enlisted for the war thinking that he might earn a little when off duty, took some of his tools along with him. But he found so many watches to mend that he forgot he was a soldier. One day he was ordered into battle. He looked about him in consternation and exclaimed: "Why, how can I go? I have ten watches to mend?" Many of our excuses and sometimes our reasons, which we try so hard to be conscientious about, if correctly translated, would read: "Why, how can I read my Bible and pray every day? How can I be true to my religious duties? I have something else to do." What We Can Do. God has not given us vast learning to solve all the problems, or unfailing wisdom to direct all the wanderings of our brothers' lives; but He has given to every one of us the power to be spiritual and by our spirituality to lift and enlarge and enlighten the lives we touch.—Phillips Brooks, Spiritual Life. A failure to make a living is not a fitting to preach the gospel of poverty. Some men will feel cheap when they read their own advertisements at the judgment. Preaching dogmas is fighting the devil with the scabbard instead of with the sword. The modern idolator falls down before the work of his own imagination instead of that of his hands. The mighty God is a 'tireless God; He fainteth not, neither is weary. This is brave doctrine, then, that a tireless delights humanity amid all its struggles and hardships, and attends it to aid, to soothe, to cheer, to purify, to redeem, to save.—C. Silvester Horne. There is a powerlessness of utterance in our blood that we should fight against, and struggle onward towards expression. We can educate ourselves to it if we know and feel the necessity; we can make it a Christian duty, not only to love, but to be loving; not only to be true friends, but to show ourselves friendly. — Harriet Bécher Stowe.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the car. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Sold by Drugsus, 750. Take Hall's Family Pills for constipation. Selfishness of Genius. Some funny stories get mixed in with the pathetic ones in the annuals of the charity workers of the city. Dr. H. S. Oppenheimer, chairman of the Gramercy District Committee of the Charity Organization, tells one of a family which applied for relief in his district. It was an Armenian family, with a father 60 years old, broken in health, unable to find work, or to do much if he got it. The mother was also incapable of earning much. Two boys under working age had been practically supporting the family, but the truant officer had sent them back to school. An Armenian boarder was giving up his entire wages to keep the family from starvation when they applied for relief. But in its investigation, the committee unexpectedly came across an older son, a good, steady boy, earning $10 a week. His wages, with the boarder's, would have supported the family, but he had a fixed passion to become a musician, and was boarding with another family because they had a piano and would let him practice on it. He was perfectly tractable on all other points, but give up his music he would not. What! resign his ambition and run his life? No. The committee cast about and secured from an interested person the use of a piano. The boy was told that he could have this in his home free of charge, provided he would turn his wages into the family exchequer. He consented. "And now," says Dr. Oppenhelmer, "there is nothing the matter with the family except that they don't get enough sleep, as the boy practices at the most unseenly hours."—New York Press.

BOLGIANO'S BED SNORE, BALTIMORE. Unwilling to Accept Responsibility for Coal Strike. NXIOUSFORCONFERENCE Mitchell Sends Letter to Baer With Request for Further Parley—Sets Forth Grievances of the Miners. President John Mitchell of the United Mine Workers of America has mailed to George F. Baer, chairman of the anthracite coal operators' committee, his reply to the committee's communication rejecting the demands of the miners' organization. The letter, in part, is as follows: "Indianapolis, Ind., March 17, 1906. Mr. George F. Baer, Chairman, Philadelphia.—Dear Sir: Referring again to your communication dated March 10, with accompanying documents, and to our reply thereto, I write to say that I have submitted to our committee the answer made by your committee to the propositions presented by us. "It is unnecessary to state, that we were keenly disappointed to learn that our demands were rejected in toto, and that our arguments in favor of them had received so little consideration at your hands that they were practically ignored in your reply to us. "We have again reviewed the scale presented for your consideration; have compared it with the scale of wages paid for similar classes of labor in other coal producing states and districts, and we are satisfied beyond the peradventure of doubt that the wages proposed are not in excess of—indeed that they are not as high as wages paid in the bituminous-mining district of our country. "Judging from the language employed in your answer to us, it is perfectly evident that we failed to make clear or that you failed to understand the real import of the propositions submitted by us. "We wish to assure you that we are not unmindful of the great public interests involved in this controversy as to our future relations, neither are we unappreciative of the splendid efforts made by the anthracite coal strike commission to establish a relationship between us that would insure a just and permanent peace; but, if you will refer to the award, you will find that the commission was in some doubt as to the permanency of its findings and expressed the hope that at the expiration of the award the relations of employer and employee would have so far improved as to make impossible such a condition as existed throughout the country in consequence of the strike in the anthracite region. "We had entertained the hope that our adherence to the letter and the spirit of the award and the absence of local or general strikes in the past three years would have appealed more strongly to your confidence, and that we might reasonably expect serious consideration of our claims at this time. While it may be true that, on the part of the operators, there has been no serious cause for complaint during the past three years, we wish to assure you that, in expressing this opinion, you do not reflect our views. Not only has there been criticism among the miners, but what is more important, there exists much cause for criticism and complaints. However, we repeat that the interests involved are so vast that we are not willing to break off negotiations, without first making further effort to reconcile our differences. We, therefore, propose that further conference or conferences be held between now and April 1. "If this suggestion meets with your approval, we shall be pleased to arrange with you a date upon which our joint committee may reconvene. I am yours truly, "JOHN MITCHELL, Chairman." COUNT WITTE ASKS RELEASE. Tenders Resignation on Account of Attack of Heart Disease. A St. Petersburg special says: It is rumored in official circles that at a session of the council of the empire Monday Premier Witte tendered his resignation and suggested that Privy Councillor Kokovsoff, former minister of finance, be appointed as his successor. The reason Count Witte gave for his resignation was that he is seriously ill with heart disease. GEORGIA PEACH IS NIPPED. Cold Snap Damaged Crop from Fifty to Seventy-five Per Cent: Reports which have been received from almost every section of the fruit belts of Georgia indicate that the peach crop has been seriously damaged by the freezing weather and killing frost of Tuesday night. Although no official statement can be made at present, a conservative estimate of the damage is placed at from 50 to 75 per cent of the crop. Many Quit Work In Chattanooga Because of Lynching of Ed Johnson. Race Riot Narrowly, Averted. At. Chattanooga Tuesday nearly 1,000 negroes stopped work in several of the large industrial plants and stood around in groups talking. The women servants have in many cases left their employment and are more sullen and angry than the men. The trouble arose over the lynching of Ed Johnson, a negro convicted of assault, whose case had been appealed to the supreme court of the United States. Law and order won a signal victory in the city Tuesday night when a squad of less than 100 policemen backed by four companies of militia, held a large crowd of negroes, variously estimated from 2,000 to 4,000 in number, in check; preserved peace; and prevented a riot, which might have resulted in a great loss of life. With the exception of a small fusilade of shots on East Ninth street, in which two white men were shot, and the burning of a house on West Ninth street, there was no further disorder. Up to midnight the following injured had been reported: John Curtis, a railway man, shot in shoulders by unknown negro. Dick Light, deputy sheriff, shot in hand by unknown negroes. A report from Washington says that the United States supreme court, in whose custody the Johnson case has been placed, will take the matter up, and that secret service men will be sent to Chattanooga to arrest the members of the mob. Considerable apprehension is felt. Governor Cox's Statement. Governor Cox of Tennessee was intercepted by telephone Tuesday while he was en route to Spring Creek, where he had an appointment to speak, and asked concerning the lynching of Johnson. It was the first news the governor had received concerning the matter. He greatly deplored the affair, and said he was confident no lynching would have occurred had the case not been taken from Tennessee courts to the federal courts. He was not prepared to say what action he would take in the matter. COUPE EFFECTED BY CLAY. Georgia Senator Saves Uncle Sam $340,000 by Timely Action. Senator Clay of Georgia saved the government $310,000 at one stroke in the senate Thursday. When the fortifications appropriation bill was under consideration in the senate, Senator Lodge led the fight against a provision that no part of $600,000 appropriated for fortifications in Hawaii and the Philippines should be,expended at the naval station of Olongapo or Subig Bay. He claimed that this was an evident effort to divert the expenditure from Subig Bay to Cavite. Finally Senator Teller moved to strike all reference to the Philippines in the item and this carried, the effect being to appropriate the whole $600,000 to Hawaii. The item was sliding through in this shape when Senator Clay came to the front with a motion to cut the item from $600,000 to $260,000. The Georgia senator produced the estimate of the war department showing the needs of Hawaii to be fully covered by the $260,000 and insisted that the appropriation bill be cut to that figure. Finally, this was done, the result being a saving of $360,000 to the government. In less than twenty minutes time the senate voted away $140,000,000 of the public funds. The sum is carried by the pension appropriation bill, which being a brief document was made the subject of very little discussion. The railroad rate bill was laid aside for the day, and the major portion of the time was devoted to the consideration of the fortifications appropriation bill. TO REFUND CAMPAIGN CASH. Trustees of New York Life Agree to Pay Sum of $148,000. The New York World says: At a conference in the office of a downtown lawyer, it was agreed that the trustees of the New York Life Insurance company who were members of the finance committee during the presidential campaigns of 1896, 1900 and 1901, and were cognizant of the political contributions made by the New York Life, should reimburse the company to the extent of $148,000.
