The Savannah Tribune. VOL. XXI. Treacherous Filipinos Deal Death to Constabulary. PRETENDED SURRENDER Rebel Pulajanes Had Made Offer to Capitulate and Pounced Upon Their Would-Be Captors in Deadly Assault. A Manila special-says: According to advices received Sunday, the recent fight at Magtaon, Samar, between the constabulary and Pulajanes was the result of base treachery on the part of the natives. As a result of the fight thirty Pulajanes were killed and sixteen of the constabulary were killed and wounded. A dispatch received from Captain Jones of the constabulary at Magaton, says that on March 23 Governor Curry, Judge Loblinger and Superintendent of Schools Hoover arrived there and camped over night near the Pulajanes. The presence of the officials was made known to the rebellious natives, and their leader announced that he would surrender his force the next day. As a result of this promise the Americans returned to the town of Magtaon, accompanied by Colonel Aguilar, a Pulajane chief. The next day, Saturday, four chiefs of the Pulajanes with over one hundred men and fourteen guns appeared at Magtaon, and lined up in front of the constabulary barracks. Between the barracks and the Pulajanes stood the group of American officials. One of the chiefs expressed a wish that his party be photographed in the act of surrendering, and Superintendent Hoover, in compliance with the request, was adjusting his camera when the Pulajanes leader blew a whistle and gave an order to advance. The entire party of natives thereupon rushed upon the American officials, who escaped to the Magtaon river, and swam to the opposite bank. When the treachery of the natives was apparent the constabulary immediately opened fire and a fierce fight ensued, in which the constabulary gained a decisive victory. The Pulajanes were chased to the mountains, but the pursuers lost more guns than they captured. The Americans were later found with the exception of Governor Curry. He was last seen being chased by Pulajanes, and it is now believed he is hiding in the dense brush in that locality. Three hundred constabulary are now on the trail of the fugitives and searching for Governor Curry. A GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT. Decision in the Beef Packers' Case Causes Gloom in Washington. A Washington dispatch says: The administration is greatly distressed over the decision in the packers' case at Chicago, and makes no secret of the fact. Not only is Attorney General Moody convinced that there is small hope in taking an appeal in the case of members of the so-called beef trust who were acquitted in Chicago, but the belief is strong that if the decision of Judge Humphreys holds good, there is no prospect of obtaining the conviction of any individual promoter of monopoly if he or his associates have made any disclosures to Mr. Garfield, commissioner of corporations. Mr. Garfield has been active in a number of different lines along which the administration has expected to push prosecutions under the anti-trust law. Under the decision of the court at Chicago immunity has, voluntarily, as it were, been won by a great many of these alleged violators of the law. For the decision of the court is that whether these men have sought immunity or not, immunity flows to them under the terms of the act under which the bureau of corporations have been operating. CARPET TACK DEALS DEATH. Caused Explosion In Powder Mill and Complete Wreck of Building. A carpet tack, caught between cog wheels, caused a spark that resulted in blowing up the works of the Phoenix Powder company, near St. Louis, and killed John Nash, aged 58 years, and Edward Higginbotham, aged 24 years. The building was completely destroyed, parts being scattered all over the surrounding country in the vicinity. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. MARCH 31, 1906. EXTRADITION IS REFUSED Lum Woo, Atlanta Chink, Will Not Be Taken to Louisiana on Murder Charge—Terrell Saves Him. Governor Terrell of Georgia Friday declined to honor the requisition of the governor of Louisiana for Lum Woo, the Atlanta Chinaman, and he will not be taken to New Orleans on the charge of murder, and where he fears the Highblinders will have revenge on him for informing on Chinamen who were running a gambling house in Atlanta. When it was announced that Governor Terrell had declined to honor the requisition for Lum Woo there was quite a scene of rejoicing at the capitol among Lum's white friends. Lum Woo was so delighted that he rushed up to the governor, placed his hands on his excellency's shoulders and exclaimed: "You gleatee man. You oughtee be plesident Lunited State." John Hook, the educated Chinaman who brought the witnesses from New Orleans to testify against Lum Woo, and who acted as interpreter, said that he was not concerned over the liberation of Lum Woo. Detective Stubbs returned to New Orleans Friday night with a copy of Governor Terrell's decision. He was accompanied by the two Chinese witnesses, Hook remaining in Atlanta for a couple of days' stay. Governor Terrell's decision was as follows: "State of Georgia, Executive Department, Atlanta, Ga., March 23, 1906. Agreeing with the attorney general in the conclusion reached by him in the above and foregoing opinion relative to the law of the case based upon the finding of fact by the governor. it is "Ordered. That the requisition by his excellency, the governor of Louisiana, for Lum Woo, a resident of this state, be and the same is hereby declined. "J. M. TERRELL, Governor." BROWN HEIRS MAKE UP. Family Suit Over Estate of Former George Governor Withdrawn. The suit in the Atlanta courts of four of the heirs against two, who were executors of the estate of ex-Governor Joseph E. Brown has been withdrawn and the disagreement has been amicably and satisfactorily adjusted by the six heirs deciding to form a corporation for the management of the estate. The superior court, will be applied to for a charter for the company, with the six heirs as the sole incorporators and stockholders, with share and share alike. Each heir is to become a one-sixth stockholder and each is to have an equal voice in the affairs of the estate. The six heirs to the estate of Joseph E. Brown are: Julius L. Brown, Joseph M. Brown, George M. Brown, Ellijah Brown, Salle E. Brown and Mrs. Mary V. Connally. Under the will Julius L. and Joseph M. Brown were made executors. A few months ago Ellijah, George and Miss Sallie Brown and Mrs. Connally filed a bill praying for the removal of Julius and Joseph Brown as executors, and the charge was made that the executors had grossly mismanaged the estate and caused the property to depreciate and the income to diminish. It is also charged that Julius Brown was dissinated. To this bill there was filed an answer by Julius L. and Joseph M. Brown in which they denied the statements made by the complainants. The affair appeared to be highly sensational, and it looked as if there was to be a serious family rupture which would have to be finally settled in the courts. It was expected that the investigation in the superior court would be decidedly interesting. The settlement, however, has stopped all further litigation, and it is said, the executors and the other heirs have resumed friendly relations, no ill feeling whatever remaining as an after effect of the suit. The estate of Joseph E. Brown is valued at between $450,000 and $500,000. The property in Atlanta, consisting of store houses and dwellings, is worth about $400,000, and there are lands in Texas valued at $100,000. DEATH LIST TWENTY-THREE. Score of Bodies Are Recovered from Explosion-Wrecked Mine. The death list of the Century mine disaster in West Virginia has now reached twenty-three, while twenty or more are injured. Officials of the company reported Friday night that twenty-two bodies have been recovered, and but one remains in the mine. WHEELER LAUDED Great Host Attends Memorial Exercises in Atlanta. CAME FROM ALL SECTIONS Blue and Gray Veterans Join in Paying Loving Tribute to Premier Cavalry Leader, Who Fought Under Both Flags. Old Confederates who had followed him in his whirling charges through the sixties; wearers of the blue who had striven against him through four long years of fraternal strife; young men still hale and strong who had served with him in Cuba—all gathered in Georgia's capital city Tuesday to do honor to the memory of "Fighting Joe" Wheeler. To Wheeler, whom the passing of time and the healing of wounds had made comrade and leader of them all. "He was my comrade as well as yours," President Roosevelt told the men of Wheeler's command, when he met them in Washington. "He was my comrade as well as yours," said the young men in Atlanta Tuesday, who were proud to have served with him against the Spaniards. "He was my comrade, too," said the faded wearers of the blue uniforms, their love and admiration of the great American cavalry leader shining strong and clear above the remembrance of the hard blows dealt on either side. Comrade—that was the word that gave the key to the whole occasion; and all Atlanta and all Georgia felt drawn nearer towards the sons and daughters of the leader in a sense of comradeship and kinship. The opera house was well filled when the exercises began, both the galleries and lower floor. To the left, as one entered, were. seated the Daughters of the Confederacy, who had from the first taken, an important part in the Wheeler memorial exercises. The Sons and Veterans organizations occupied seats on the right. Corporal Tanner, commander-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, was present, and hobnobbed with Colonel John S. Prather, commander of the local Wheeler camp. And they felt that they were comrades, too. It was a reunion in more senses of the word than the military one; in a most unusual sense indeed. Members of commands who had fought against each other from Bull Run to Appomattox fraternized, and fought their battles over again. Relatives who had fought in the opposing armies, officers who had vanquished opposing foes or had surrendered to them, men who had held one another captive in southern or in northern prisons, met together, as if around a camp fire, after years of peaceful pursuits, and talked it over. Met together, and testified once again that while mutual admiration survives like a flame, all hatred and all sectional feeling have been scattered and dissipated like ashes. Perhaps the greatest sadness was shown at the Kimball house, where the members of the Wheeler family were staying. All morning the lobby was filled with veterans. They called and paid their respects to the daughters of the great cavalry leader;; exchanged reverent greetings and then withdrew, filled with emotion. The parade, which was to have been one of the main features of the occasion, with veterans of both armies of the civil war, veterans of the Spanish-American war, in line, was abandoned because of the inclement weather. All throughout the day veterans kept pouring into the city, to the number of many hundreds. They came from Washington, D.C., from Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, North and South Carolina, Virginia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, Oklahoma and from all sections of Georgia. TRAIN DROPS INTO RIVER. Six Laborers Killed Outright and Score Injured. Six railroad laborers were killed and a score were injured, several probably fatally, when a train on the Wyoming division of the Chicago and Northwestern railroad dropped into a swollen stream through an undermined bridge near Natsona, Wyoming, Monday. Among the dead is Charles Noll, foreman of the laborers. Most of the other men were Austrians and Italians. RATE BILL TALK. Senator Tillman Watching for Chance to Have Specified Day Fixed for Vote on Measure. A Washington dispatch says: Thero was a hint in the senate Monday at an effort to fix a time for a final vote on the railroad rate bill, but it was surrounded by so much circumstance and doubt that no predictions as to the time would be justified. Mr. Tillman stated that he would bring the matter up in the senate, and unless objection was made he may ask to have a day specified. The suggestion as to time rose in connection with the more or less serious effort on the part of a number of senators to secure immediate consideration of amendments offered by themselves. Mr. Tillman resisted all attempts of that kind in the absence of many senators, saying that votes ought not to be taken without full notice to senators. Among the provisions offered were: By Mr. Foraker, prohibiting the issuance of passes; Mr. Scott, compelling railroads to connect with other railroads, and Mr. Culberson, denying to interstate roads the privilege of making campaign contributions. Mr. Overman made a general speech in support of the bill, and Mr. Teller spoke at some length against undue haste in considering the question. At the beginning of the session Mr Tillman presented a letter from Millard F. Snyder of Clarksburg, W. Va., relating to the discriminations of railroads in that state against independent coal operators by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. Mr. Tillman said that the senator from West Virginia had expressed the hope that he would give the senate something on this line every morning, and he would endeavor to gratify him in this respect. The letter began by stating that the people of West Virginia had begun to look upon Mr. Tillman as their senator. It stated Mr. Snyder had made many efforts to secure relief from discriminations, but was unable to obtain any redress. The different kinds of discriminations were detailed at length, and the assertion made that the laws of West Virginia were not sufficient to meet the case. Mr. Foraker presented this amendment, prohibiting the issuance by the railroad companies of passes, and extending the prohibition to passes for the cars of the officials of one railroad over other lines, and he asked Mr. Tillman if he would not accept it. Mr. Tillman replied that if he had the committee with him he would accept the amendment, but he thought that it would be better to pass an original bill "which we could send on its way rejoicing to the house so as to avoid the melee in which the rate bill is sure to be involved. Mr. Tillman suggested that the amendment go over. Mr. Foraker consented, but added that it was his intention to press it. Mr. Tillman expressed his disapproval of the present method of voting on the bill, and all amendments at the same time, and said that when a time was fixed for voting on the railroad bill he would ask that the vote begin on amendments two or three days in advance in order to permit time for explanation. Mr. Tillman said that he would ask the senate to fix a time to vote, and that when that decree was issued he would prepare an order of proceeding for submission to the senate. GREAT MERGER PLANNED. Railway Interests in Virginia and North Carolina to Consolidate. The entire properties of the Norfolk and Southern railroad, running from Norfolk, Va., through eastern North Carolina, and the Virginia-Carolina Coast railway, which recently began the construction of a new railway line from Norfolk to Beaufort, N. C., and their lumber interests are to be merged with an authorized capital of $25,000,000 in bonds and $25,000,000 in stock. ^RAN AMUCK AT FUNERAL. Crazy Man Shoots Into a Crowd and Is Himself Killed. Brooklyn, just across the Patapsco river from Baltimore, Md., is horrified over the deeds and death of Walter Potee, an insane man 28 years old, who, entering his brother's house, just as friends and relatives were gathering to attend the funeral of the brother's little child, opened fire with a revolver, set fire to the house and himself died from gunshot wounds, but whether self-inflicted or otherwise is not known. STEAL IS EFFECTED Campaign Gifts of Trust Funds Pure. Larceny. IS ASSERTION OF JUDGE "And Insurance Officials Who Made Such Gifts Should Be in Prison." District Attorney Jerome Of- A New York special says: If the grand jury which is investigating some of the conditions developed by the recent legislative investigation, reaches the conclusion that contributions of insurance company funds to political campaign committees were made with intent to deprive or defraud the true owner of his property, it must find that larceny was committed. This opinion was expressed Friday by Justice O'Sullivan, in the court of general sessions, in answer to a presentation on the subject submitted to him by the grand jury. Judge O'Sullivan added that it is not within the province of the court to say whether or not there was intent. That is a question which the jurors must determine for themselves from all the facts and circumstances in the case. He charged the jury to make a thorough investigation into all the facts and to place the responsibility for such crimes, if they find that crimes were committed. "You are not to go seeking for shelter as an excuse to avoid an unpleasant duty," he said. This opinion is, in effect, directly opposite to one upon the same subject which was given by District Attorney Jerome several days ago. Judge O'Sullivan agreed, however, with the contention of the district attorney that intent must have been present to constitute the crime of larceny, but declares that the question whether there was intent is a question which is yet to be determined. Mr. Jerome was in court, and when Judge O'Sullivan had delivered his opinion the district attorney asked the grand jury to remain, as he desired to address them upon the subject in question. He declared that Judge O'Sullivan had misconcelled the subject which he had considered and that he held to the opinion that it would be the duty of the grand jury to return indictments against George W. Perkins, former vice president of the New York Life Insurance Company, for larceny, and against George B. Cortelyou, chairman, and Cornellius N. Bliss, treasurer of the republican national committee, as receivers of stolen goods. Mr. Jerome informed Judge O'Sullivan that. If he would sit as a magistrate he would submit affidavits to the acts committed by George W. Perkins and would ask for a warrant for his arrest. He added that in event of such a warrant being issued, a writ of habeas corpus would follow and that the case would be taken to the highest courts, where the district attorney would retain Alton B. Parker as special counsel. Judge O'Sullivan declined to grant the warrant, giving his reason that the question at issue should be passed upon by the grand jury. WANT NO INTERFERENCE. Local Officials Promise to Punish the Lynchers in Chattanooga. The department of justice was in telegraphic communication Friday with United States District Attorney Penland at Chattanooga, regarding the lynching of the negro, Ed Johnson. There have been conferences regarding messages which have reached the president and members of the supreme court, which are said to have expressed the hope that the government will leave matters for the local authorities to deal with, and at the same time conveyed assurance that the responsible parties in the lynching would be adequately punished. Remarkable and Unprecedented Fecundity of a Durham Cow. Seven calves, perfectly formed, born to one Durham cow, was the unusual incident recorded a few days ago at the farm of Martin S. Hill, near Boston, Mass. They included four bulls, weighing thirty pounds each, and three heifers, 25 pounds each. All the calves died at their birth, or immediately after. 'Cattlemen and veterinaries say the occurrence is unprecedented in their experience. NO.26 AFTER PROMINENT GAME. Report That District Attorney Jerome Has Drawn Warrants for Arrest of Cortelyou and Bliss. At New York Tuesday morning, District Attorney Jerome appeared before Magistrate Moss in the Tombs police court and applied for warrants to be used in testing the legality of the contribution of insurance companies' funds to political campaign committees. The name of no person was mentioned at the time. After listening to Mr. Jerome, Magistrate Moss said that before he would issue any warrant in the matter evidence would have to be presented that a crime had been committed. To establish this evidence, Mr. Jerome asked for the issuance of a number of subpoenas in blank to be used in "John Doe" proceedings before the magistrate. Later in the day these subpoenas were issued. It was said at the district attorney's office that every effort will be made to get the proceedings under way at once. When news that the warrants had been asked for became public, it was recalled that the names of Postmaster General Cortelyou, chairman of the republican national committee; Cornelius N. Bliss, treasurer of that organization, and George W. Perkins, formerly vice president of the New York Life Insurance company, had been mentioned by Mr. Jerome before Judge O'Sullivan in connection with the warrants. In taking this action Tuesday, Mr. Jerome is carrying out the policy he announced before Justice O'Sullivan in the court of special sessions last week, when he defended the opinion he had previously rendered, that there had been no crime committed in connection with the campaign contributions. Justice O'Sullivan ruled, however, that if it could be shown there was an intent to defraud the rightful owners of the property, it was for the grand jury to say whether or not the case was one of larceny. He so instructed the grand jury, and urged the grand jurors to fearlessly investigate the matter and not to seek shelter in the face of an unpleasant duty. Mr. Jerome asked Justice O'Sullivan if he would not, sitting as a magistrate, issue a warrant for the arrest of George W. Perkins, former vice president of the New York Life Insurance company, in order that a writ of habeas corpus might be obtained and the matter taken at once to the highest court. Mr. Jerome also suggested that if the contributing to campaign committees by the officers of the insurance companies constituted larceny, the matter involved Chairman Cortelyou and Treasurer Bliss of the republican campaign committee, in the matter of receiving stolen goods. Justice O'Sullivan declined to act in the case, saying there were plenty of magisterial courts before which the matter could be placed and the warrants secured MADE "UNCLE JOE" TURN PALE. Speaker of House Lambasted by Missouri Representative. A Washington special says: The house Tuesday witnessed a most unusual scene, the speaker rising on the floor in the midst of a spirited discussion on reciprocity and tariff revision, and disclaiming responsibility for differences between minority members. It was toward the close of the debate on the urgency deficiency bill, which appropriates, among other things, for the forthcoming conference at Rio Janeiro, when Mr. Shackleford of Missouri read a prepared statement regarding the language he intended to use when taken off the floor last week by Mr. Tawney. Mr. Shackleford said that the bill introduced by his colleague (Mr. Rhodes) to pension Missouri volunteers should pass. "We're here, De Armond, Clark, Lloyd, Rucker, Hunt, Wood, Shackleford, all ready and anxious to vote for the measure. "Take your heavy hand off the old soldier, Mr. Speaker, and let us vote for this bill," he said. As he sat down, with this utterance still ringing through the hall, Speaker Cannon, pale and agitated, arose and said: "Mr. Chairman, just a second—and a second only. I have listened to the gentleman from Missouri, Mr. Shackleford. If it affords him any consolation to make me a stalking horse on account of the quarrel with the minority leader, well and good." (Applause.) Mr. Shackleford, with deep feeling, replied: "I deny, Mr. Speaker, that my quarrel with you has any such foundation." Largest Sick and Death Benefits; Smallest Premiums.

Negroes to Hold State Fair. The mayor and council of Macon have a petition for the use of Central City park next fall for a state fair to be arranged and conducted by the negroes of Georgia. R. R. Wright, who is president of the Georgia Industrial College in Savannah, wrote the petition for the use of the park. It is quite likely that the request will be granted if the dates do not conflict in any manner with the Centennial Fair which Macon will hold from the 2d to the 10th of October inclusive. It is likely that if the negroes desire either of these dates, it will be suggested to them that they will be allowed to use the park in connection with the Centennial fair, their show being made one of the features. Last year a very successful show was given by the same colored people, and they were encouraged to try another this year. Brown Estate Out of Court. The suit in the Atlanta courts of four of the heirs against two, who were executors, of the estate of exGovernor Joseph E. Brown, has been withdrawn and the disagreement has been amicably and satisfactorily adjusted by the six heirs deciding to form a corporation for the management of the estate. The Fulton county superior court will be applied to for a charter for the company, with the six heirs as the sole incorporators and stockholders, with share and share alike. Each heir is to become a one-sixth stockholder and each is to have an equal voice in the affairs of the estate. The estate of Joseph E. Brown is valued at between $450,000 and $500,000. The property in Atlanta, consisting of store houses and dwellings, is worth about $400,000, and there are lands in Texas valued at $100,000. Policyholders Apathetic. Owing to an apparent lack of interest and attendance of the members, plans for the proposed Policyholders' Society of Georgia were abandoned past week, attended only by President Martin F. Amorous, Secretary Samuel G. Barnett and Trustee Ben L. Jones of Macon. The three gentlemen waited some time for the other members and trustees to arrive, but after a considerable time they decided that it would be useless to proceed unless the mass of people who would be the beneficiaries of the proposed organization would co-operate with the movement. The Policyholders' Protective Society was tentatively organized in At. Haddock Station, a few days ago, A. L. Haddock shot and instantly killed B. Bush. The trouble is said to have grown out of the fact that Bush's son ran away and married Haddock's sister, who was under age. Bush is station keeper for the Georgia railroad at Haddock station. Haddock is a farmer, living about two miles from the Haddock's. Case Entera Twelfth Week. Case Enters Twelfth Week. The Greene and Gaynor case entered upon its twelfth week Monday. The defense has but eight or ten more witnesses to introduce. The government, as it now appears, will introduce none in rebuttal, so that it is thought three weeks more will probably conclude the famous case, including arguments, the judge's charge and the jury's deliberations. Steamship Company Issues Bonds. The Ocean Steamship Company of Savannah has issued $350,000 worth of bonds so mature in amounts of $35,000 at annual periods during the next ten years. The proceeds of the sale of the issue will be used by the company to pay two-thirds the cost of a steamship now under construction at the Roach yards, Chester, Pa. The remaining one-third will be paid in cash from the funds of the company. The vessel will be placed upon the New York-Savannah line. * * * Charter Asked for New Road. Application for a charter for the Hartwell and Washington railroad is being made by parties in Elberton, Hartwell and Washington. The road as mapped out will traverse that section of Hart and Elbert between Hartwell and Elberton and that part of Elbert and Wilkes between Elberton and Washington. The road will be 56 miles long. The high financial standing of the parties applying for the charter warrants the belief that the road will be built. Line Will Soon Be in Operation. The work of extending the Jefferson-Athens line of the Gainesville Midland railway and broadening the gauge from Gainesville to Monroe is progressing nicely. But little remains to be done on the gauge from Gainesville to Jefferson in the way of grading. Many broad gauge ties have already been laid, and when these are down the broad gauge rails will be put down, so that trains may continue to be run on the narrow gauge track * * * * * * P. EDWARD PERRY, Vice President. February and officers were nominated to be ratified later by a meeting of all the policyholders. The three officers expressed themselves as believing there was no need to continue the organization if there was no interest shown. Judge Pendleton, in Fulton superior court at Atlanta, has denied the mandamus which has been asked for by various counties and municipalities on the line of the Georgia railroad between Atlanta and Augusta, through which they sought to share in the taxes accruing from the 15,000 shares of the capital stock of the Western Railway of Alabama, owned by the Georgia Railroad and Banking company. The counties directly involved in this litigation, though others expected also to participate, were Greene, Taliaferro, Oglethorpe, Walton, McDuffie and Columbia, while the municipalities which were parties to the litigation were the town of Union Point, Greensboro and Crawfordville. These counties and towns claimed that this personal property should be distributed for the purpose of taxation among the counties and cities along the lines of the railroad just the same as is done in the case of rolling stock, which is also personal property. It is now their announced purpose to appeal to the supreme court of the state for final judgment in the matter. * * * Italians for Ware County. George W. Deen of Waycross is making arrangements for the establishment of an Italian colony in Ware county. The colony will be located on Mr. Deen's land, about three miles from Waycross. For some time Mr. Deen has been in correspondence with Rev. Broderick of Staatsburg, N. Y., regarding the matter. Rev. Broderick is an Italian, and has brought many of his people from Italy to America and established colonies for them. He has made an agreement with Mr. Deen to furnish twenty-five Italian families for Ware county. Mr. Deen will use them for work in a saw mill, which he will erect south of Waycross. He proposes to furnish the Italians with from 20 to 40 acres of farm land, and construct for each family a home of at least three rooms. While the men are employed in the saw mill the women and children will clear and cultivate the farm. The Italians will be brought to this country direct from Italy and an interpreter will be furnished until they are acquainted with the language here. Bishop Brodercik agrees to send to Ware county only industrious Italian HOME OFFICE 468 WEST BROAD STREET, SAVANNAH, GEORGIA. Bell Phone 1198. Ga. Phone 2029. Directors. L. E. Williams. P.

Guard is Killed and His Slayer Meets the Same Fate. Monday morning when the convicts at the penitentiary at Jefferson City, Mo., were called for breakfast, Guard J. W..Woods, of Macon, Mo., was pounced on by a negro convict and stabbed three times. Woods died instantly. Another guard immediately killed the convict. The convict's name was "Sonny" Anderson, sentenced from St. Louis in 1904 to serve four years for assault to kill. He had been on what is termed the "cranky list" for several days and had been kept in a cell. He was let out Monday morning with other prisoners, but soon afterwards Guard Woods was ordered to put him back into the cell. Anderson refused to obey and when the guard seized him by the arm and attempted to force him into the cell he drew a knife and stabbed the guard three times, killing him instantly. Other guards and several convicts rushed to the rescue of Woods. Anderson was slashing right and left, and severely injured two other convicts, one of them, William Shields, sentenced from St. Louis to serve ten years for murder, being so seriously injured that he will probably die. William Rockwell, sentenced from Petty county for robbery, was stabbed, but not seriously wounded. Anderson then seized a hose and directed a stream of water on those who attempted to capture him. Dropping the hose he threw buckets and anything he could lay his hands on and made his way into the yard. It was found impossible to capture him alive, and guards finally shot him to death. Guard Woods was formerly a sho- liff of Macon county, Missouri, and three months ago was appointed prison guard. OPPOSED TO COLORED ELKS. At Macon, Ga., Tuesday, Judge Reagan deferred the hearing on the temporary restraining order granted the Elks' Club of Macon, against negroes attempting to organize a similar order, until April 17, when the case will be argued.

Not traits that win a heart, you'll say, And yet—she married him one day. "He has his faults, 'as who has not?" She soil, when friends her reason sought For wedding him. "He's plain, 'tis true. I see all that as well as you! For wife! on wedding him I bent, My loove not blind! To each extent I cannot see his faults and flaws. And yet, I love him—just because" —New York Press. The Ways of Diplomacy BY GEORGE SHEDD (Copyright 1905 by Dally Story Pub. Co.) Marian Loveless was referred to among her acquaintances as the living statue, and with good reason. Beautiful, accomplished, with the figure of a Venus, of perfect health and strength, she had arrived well into her twenties without feeling a tremor of the heart. And it was not that efforts in plenty had not been made to arouse the warmth in her gentle breast, for she had many lovers who had used all their art to inspire the divine passion in her heart. "I must have been born deficient," she said frankly to one of these in rejecting his suit. "For I certainly do not have any warmer feeling for you, nor any other man than hearty friendship. I admire you, I respect you, I have not a criticism to make of you. But I have no such emotion as you express, nor such as my girl friends tell me of, and of which I read in books. I am lacking somehow. I am sorry, both on your account and on my own. I can not conceive of such a thing as giving up my-Independence and Individuality and merging my life into that of a man. I shall always respect and like you and will be a sister to you." "Sister!" exclaimed the man, and he went to the Klondike and never saw her again. And: that was the story she was compelled to tell her most ardent wooers. "I like the men first rate," she said. "Indeed their robust way of looking at things and doing things is quite a relief at times from the petty little ways the women have, and they are very handy in dancing and rowing and driving and running automobiles, and that sort of thing, but to go away and live with and become a part of—I simply cannot understand it. This was the state of affairs when Garald Mann appeared on the scene and was attracted by the beauty and the personality of Miss Loveless. When he went slap up against sexlessness, so to speak, he was dumb-founded, then interested. He was a thorough man of the world, widely traveled and of much experience with women. That a woman in perfect health, with red lips and swelling curves and flashing eyes should be perfectly passionless was incredible, preposterous. Hence he was stimulated to try his powers and in the trying he lost his heart. For the first time in his life Gerald Mann was in love. It was the real thing, too, and a hard attack of it. He struggled violently and ridiculed himself mercilessly over his preslumber cigar, but to no avail. He had had many affairs and indulged in some engagements, but this was different. This woman he must have to complete his life. There was no question about that. In the meantime her adamant attitude was not even scratched. Mann rather interested her with his well-stored mind and his knowledge of men and places and things, but that Wagat Ridiculed himself mercilessly over his pre-slumber ricar. Ridiculed himself mercilessly over his pre-slumber cigar. was all. He never quickened her pulses—unless when he put an added dash of recklessness into the speed of his automobile. Finally, after struggling in the meshes until he was sore and tired, he surrendered and poured out his declaration of love to the object of his desires. "Oh, dear, how dreadful!" she said, calmly. "Just when things were running along so nicely, too, and we were having such jolly times. And now I must lose you." "Never!" he exclaimed, passionately. "Yes, I will," she replied in a discouraged tone of voice. "I don't know where you will go or what you will do, but you will go away from me. And you knew it all the time, too—you knew I had no capacity for love. Why did you do it?" He breathed some fervent words about it being "written by fate," and ordained from the beginning of time, and that sort of thing, and finally received the inevitable promise of sisterhood. But Mann was older and more experienced than the others had been and the attack having been deferred A She was all a-tremble. so long may have been more severe. Any way, he refused to go away, or to accept her as a sister. He simply staid on and announced that he would wait for the arousing of her woman's nature which, he averred must come some day. Things were not wholly comfortable or normal, however, and so far as Mann was concerned, certainly not joyous, when he met at his club one day an old friend, an Italian gentleman with whom he had become very well acquainted one summer when he was abroad. The Italian was a muscian—a violinist of exceptional ability and high reputation. He had come to tour America with his wonderful violin. After greetings had been duly exchanged, the two sat down and had a long chat, renewing the old acquaintance most happily. Mann could not keep back the great change in his life and the disappointment with which he had met. Signor Vallefi was all sympathy, but resolutely skeptical regarding the lady's incapacity to experience the gentle joys of love. "Et eez eempossible," he said. "Eez reeedeculous. All ladéeez have ze divine passion. Et eez a part of zeir divine nature." "Well, I'd like to find the way to arouse it," growled Mann moodily. "Have you tried eez zeemagination?" asked Vallett. "Zat is zee-key to unlock ze most guarded heart." "I've tried everything," replied Mann. "I've bombarded her with the most potent love stories, I've read her the most passionate poems, have taken her to see the strongest plays, piloted her through the art galleries where hang the most stirring pictures—but to no ayall." "But zee music—zee vera language of lof—have you tried zat?" asked the Italian. "Oh, yes, after a fashion," replied Mann, "but the girl is absolutely devoid of musical qualities. She does not sing a note, and does not even thump on the plano. She is utterly indifferent to music." "No, no, signor," excalmed the Italian. "Zat is eempossible. No voman ees indifferent to music." There was a long pause during which Signor Valleti smoked fiercely. Then he said:" "My friend—I—vill arouse zee voman nature in zee lady." He went on to outline his plan and the hopeles lover grasped it as a drowning man at a straw. So it happened that Miss Marian was invited by Mr. Mann to hear "a violinist—said to be a remarkable player." A manager friend of Mann's had asked him to hear this violinist, it was explained, and give his opinion before a contract was signed. Mann implored Miss Loveless to go with him and aid him with her counsel. Protesting her inefficiency, she yielded to his pleading. It was explained that the new violinist had met with an accident which had temporarily disfigured him and he declined to play before any one unless guarded by a screen. So it had been arranged to hear him in the conservatory of the manager's home, where the player could remain out of sight.4 The conservatory was most artfully arranged. The lights were soft and low and the rays of the moon shining through the glass transformed the place into a veritable garden. They seated themselves on a rustic seat surrounded by flowers and plants, the air sweet with the scent of roses. Presently out of the very stillness and so softly as to be almost a part of it, came the subdued strains of music. They were sweet and restful and seductive. Gradually the music rose in volume and power and took a lighter vein. It spoke of green meadows and sparkling water and leafy shade. Then with a sudden change it leaped into the realm of passion and told the whole story of love. The unseen artist filled the air with love, longing, despair, pleading, delirious joy. Then with a flash the strains turned to a wooing song irresistably ardent, tender and, compelling. Mann arousing himself from the trance the music had thrown him in, glanced at Martian. Her eyes were downcast, tears were on her flushed checks, she was all a-tremble. He slipped his arm about her. She did not resist. "Marian, sweetheart," he whispered. "Yes, Gerald—dear," she replied, letting her head sink on his shoulder. Gerald afterward told her that the unseen artist had secured the engagement. Which was true. HIGH LEVELS REACHED BY MAN. Heights That Necessitate Artificial Inhalation of Oxygen. The highest point at which mountain climbers have stayed for any length of time is 20,992 feet on the Himalayas, where an exploring party painfully stayed for six weeks in 1902. Higher still at 21,910 feet is the extreme point of Mrs. Bullock Workman's ascents, the greatest height reached by a woman. Mr. Bullock Workman kept on to a point 23,393 feet high, which is the greatest height reached by any mountain climber. The altitudes reached by Mr. and Mrs. Bullock Workman were above those, at which M. Berson, the aeronaut, began his artificial inhalation of oxygen. At 26,240 feet the aeronauts in general begin the continued inspiration of oxygen, and neglect of this precaution was responsible for the death of Croce, Spinelli, and Sirel at 28,208 feet, their companion, Tissandler, just escaping by a miracle. Mount Everest, the highest point of the globe, is only some 700 feet higher, 28,995 feet, and 3,000 feet above that begin the cirrus clouds that are composed of spicules of ice. At 35,424 feet is the highest point ever reached by man. This is the height attained by M. Beron in his balloon on July 31, 1901. Would Find Him Again "Pardon me, madam," says the attendant in the depot, "you seem to be in distress." The woman addressed turns her melancholy eyes upon the attendant, and replies: "I am." "Is there any way in which I might be of assistance?" "I don't know. I've lost my husband, and——" "Permit me to offer my condolences. Into each life some sorrow——" "Save your condolence for him when I get hold of him. We were sitting here waiting for the train to go home. and a comic opera troupe went through the station and one of them was a big, fat blonde, and my husband got up and sald he was going to get a drink of water, and that was an hour and a half ago, and—Save your sympathy, young man, save it for Jabez Smith of Mooresville, Pennsylvania, who will be in sore need of comforting words within ten minutes after he begins to make excuses to me." Frost Makes Fat Turkeys. "Cold weather makes fat turkeys," said the poulterer, "because in a warm fall the ground keeps soft, the vegetation lingers on and the fields are full of worms and bugs. What's the result? The turkeys from sunrise till dark tramp the tempting fields on long forages, eating the worms and bugs, which thin them, and walking all their soft and fine flesh into tough, stringy muscle. "A cold fall, with early frosts and snows, freezes the ground and kills the bugs. Then the turkeys are not tempted to wander. They loaf in the farm yard, gorge an abundance of grain and put on flesh like a middle-aged woman at a seashore hotel. But in a warm fall, hunting the irresistible bug, the turkeys do their fifteen or twenty miles regularly every day and become athletes. For athletic turkeys there is no public demand." The Deserter. He had not changed. This season, as of yore, it was the same. Between each act, with some gibl lie upon his tongue, he slipped out blandly, to return odorous of cloves. She drew closer to him. "George," she breathed passionately, "promise me one thing." "What is it?" the man asked. "Promise—oh, promise me—to stop drinking for my sake." His response rang out clear and true. "I will," he said. "Hereafter, when I drink it will be for my own sake solely." And, as the curtain fell, he scrambled adroitly over seventeen pairs of legs and disappeared again. Wauld Keep Fact of His Downfall from His Friends. Mr. B., who is an ardent prohibitionist, arrived one evening at Ayer Junction, on his way home to Fitchburg, but found that he would have to wait a few minutes for the Fitchburg train. Among the people already waiting at the station was a well-dressed man who was very evidently under the influence of Iliquor. Hearing Mr. B.'s inquiries, he sided up to him and asked: "You goin' to Fishburg?" "Yes," said Mr. B. "Well, I'm goin' to Fishburg. Wha' train you goin' on?" "Oh, the first train that comes along." "Well, I'm goin' on firstsht train." Then, in a confidential whisper: "Say, you know whass matter with me, don't you?" "Yes, I do." "Well, I know whass matter with me, but I wouldn't have my folks find it out, nofor world. You goin' Fishburg, eh? Same train with me? Well, when we get to Fishburg, you walk along shtreef with me, and when we meet anybody that knows me, you just tell 'em that I'm and you're me. won't you? Then my folks won't know anything about it, see?"—Boston Herald. Captured a Neighbor's Cat This last summer members of the United States fish commission were stationed at Lake Maubogog, Me., for the purpose of gathering statistics in regard to the funny tribes which inhabit that region. The guests of the small hotel where they made their headquarters were very much annoyed by the too frequent appearance of a skunk, and steps were taken to capture the offender. A box trap was constructed, duly baited and set. Through small holes in the box the guests were highly elated to learn the following morning that their efforts had not been in vain. The fish commission men, thinking it an unusually fine specimen, decided to preserve its pelt, minus the objectionable odor, if possible, and, gently handling the box, they proceeded to the lake, carefully lowered it into the water, removing it when all life was extinct. This capture will probably not appear in their next report, as the animal proved to be a black cat belonging to the next farmhouse. In a Corn Field. The corn has much to say! It tells with a gay delight The gossip of golden day. The stream of the tender night. The sunny slope in sweet To the edge of the woodland shadows. Where the ale, laughing streams repeat The talk of the happy meadows. But the trees that lean above Have deeper thoughts to measure; They whisper of home and love. And hold their own life's treasure; They breathe in the sun-filled space; Hooted in cim they stand. Grew the blime in nesting place, Blessing the quiet land. And the hills their secrets hold. Where the brooding clouds hang over; The sunny slope in sweet Glad thoughts that few discover. O whispering corn be still! My heart is vainly trying To hear, through all your rustling thrill The deep tones underlying. Ah, sweet escaping song! Mine ears can ne'er compel it. But the little flower I bring along Smiles up, and tries to tell it! —Martha Coutuay Smith, in Youth's Companion. Time Lost by Spectacles Dr. Abraham Huntsinger has just given out a table relative to the time lost by persons wearing glasses. He says it's mostly time wasted, and costly time to some. Dr. Huntsinger bases his figures on the study of mankind for years. He says the people who wear spectacles remove them and put them on again at least five times a day, and figures that 20 seconds are required for each such operation. The man or woman who carries glasses for a period of twenty-five years (the period being placed low by the doctor) will lose thirty-two days of eight hours each as a result of the habit to take off and replace eyeglasses—Indianapolis News. As He Was Told. "What was the cause of that awful racket and disturbance in your office just before you came this morning?" asked one lawyer of another. "You know that young farmer's son who came yesterday to begin the study of law with me?" said the man addressed. "Yes." "Well, I thought he might as well begin at the bottom of the ladder, and I told him that when he arrived this morning the first thing for him to do would be to clear out the office. He found there half a dozen people waiting to see me on business, and he bundled out the lot!" Collins Imported, Duty Free. Some time between 1888 and 1892, during the tariff campaigns that were then waged, the democrats hired Faneuil hall the day preceding election for the purpose of holding a noon rally. The late Mayor Collins-of Boston was called on to preside. On taking the chair he made the following short speech: "Fellow Democrats, I have been chosen moderator of this Boston town meeting. I am an imported article, duty free, and there are a great many of you who are just the same," referring to the crowd which occupied the main body of the hall. Then a mighty cheer rent the air. French Births Increase. The official report of the French Minister of Commerce sets forth that the excess of births over deaths reported in France for the year 1904 is 57,026, as against an excess in 1903 of 73,106. WAS CASE OF POT AND KETTLE Fat Man and Barber Asked Each Other Hard Questions. The middle-aged, fat man, after the barber finished cutting his hair, unrolled his beard, and lo, it touched the floor. It was over five feet long. The barber, as he shampooed the beard, sald: "You pin this spinach up with hair-pins into a mass six inches square. I know a man with a nine-foot beard who wears it in a bag. About five inches shows from his chin, and then the beard vanishes under his collar as an underground river vanishes under a rock. "Why are there so many men who desire to have beards of unusual length? Men are often valuer than women when it comes to the matter of a long beard. I know some twenty men who have tried to raise long beards for years, but only three of them have succeeded. "The average man can raise a one-foot beard, but not more than two or three men in a hundred can raise a nine or a ten foot one." "Right you are," said the other, regarding his own river of hair complacently. "But what I say is," complained the barber, "what good are these long, nasty messes of coarse spinach after they are grown?" "What good," said the middle-aged man, "is that bristly, mud-colored toothbrush that grows out of your upper lip?" Insects to Be Exterminated "Mosquitoes, flies, rats and many other inferior beings are the cause of a great number of the diseases of men," said a scientist. "These creatures must be killed off. That will be man's work in the future. "We know well now that the mosquito brings us yellow fever and malaria. We know well that the rat brings us the bubonic plague. Flies carry scarlet fever about with them. Cats spread diphtheria and smallpox. "Continually we learn new evils that the lower orders bring to man. Roaches sometimes bring him consumption. Water bugs bring him typhus. "For some hundreds of years to come man's hardest task will be the extermination of the mosquito, the fly and a score of other harmful little creatures. This task will be difficult, and it will be rendered more difficult by misguided persons who will claim that it is impious and unwise to exterminate any species—that each species was put upon the earth to serve some good purpose. "But man, ultimately, will succeed in this task of extermination. Some twenty or thirty years will then be added to his life, and he will be surrounded only by such lower living forms as are agreeable and useful to him." What Webster Wanted Daniel Webster once dined with an old Boston merchant, and when they came to the wine a dusty old bottle was carefully opened by the servant and passed to the host. Taking the bottle, he filled Webster's glass and handed it to him. Then, pouring out another for himself he held it to the light and said: "Tow do you like it, Mr. Webster." "I think it is a fine specimen of old port." "Now, can you guess what it cost me?" asked the host. "Surely not," said Webster. "I only know that it is excellent." "Well, now, I can tell you; for I made a careful estimate the other day. When I add the interest to the first price, I find that it costs me the sum of just $1.25 per glass." "Good gracious! You don't say so?" cried Webster. And then, draining his glass, says a biographer, he presented it again, with the remark: "Fill it up again as quick as you can, for I want to stop that confounded interest!" The Tramp. The curse of the man who will not work has always been with us. In Henry VIII's reign he was not allowed to beg the bread that belonged to honester folk, for a statute was made by which the old and impotent were granted; licenses to beg, and anyone found begging without one was soundly fogged and sent home to his own parish. In this way as many as a hundred in one day, in Elizabeth's time, were sent "back to the land." The begging license seems to work well enough abroad, where the row of authorized beggars is a familiar sight outside every church, and where the halt and maimed are seldom seen anywhere else. The rise of the vagrant in this country no doubt took place after the destruction of the monasteries, and before any other relief-giving body took their place. Yet, after the queen's magnificent gift we can still say with the monk of medieval times, "The friendship of the poor makes us the friends of kings."—London Chronicle. Anticipation. Anticipation. When lengthened pause comes in some music sweet. And listening souls in passive silence wait. The musicians then anticipate—Not heedless of the leader's rhythmic beat— Those new harmonious measures that shall fleet Past them in all their grand responsive state. And smile when there come pealing soot or late The very notes that they had hoped to greet. So from earth's music grand true souls divyne Through Life's strange silent pulses, deeply felt. Celestial strains that all the soul shall melt To floods of rapture. Ah! how eyes will shine And greet them thus: "O heavenly songs of mine I knew and loved ye while on earth I dwelt." —Edmond Burke. Leuttenant J. A. Baser, U. S. Army, Draws an Interesting Comparison, I recall my first sight of a Japanese supply-train during the China relief expedition. First would come a section of ten or twelve two-wheeled carts, each drawn by a stallion pony, and each pony led by a Japanese soldier. My attention was attracted to the ponies by their peculiar carriage. They all carried their heads almost as low as their knees when in motion, which with their high withers and low quarters gave them a very unusual appearance. This position of the head is taught to Japanese draught-anmals under the theory that it makes them throw their weight against the collar. Then would follow a section of lighter carts drawn by one or two uniformed men. Here and there would follow a string of pack-ponies, each led by a soldier. Each section was in charge of a soldier of a supply battalion, who kept it closed up and in its position in column. Along the side of the road strung a seemingly endless procession of Chinese coolies, each balancing on his shoulder a flat pole, to the end of which were hung heavy packs. These coolies were also divided into sections, each in charge of a soldier, and all under armed guard. The boxes and packages were all small, running from 69 to 90 pounds in weight. The pony-carts were loaded with from 600 to 800 pounds and the hand-carts with from 50 to 350 pounds. I thought of the contrast with our own four-mule escort wagons loaded at 2,500 to 3,000 pounds on these roads, and capable of carrying 4,500 pounds on good roads, and of our boxes of supplies weighing from 200 to 250 pounds. I had an opportunity to make a close comparison later. I had caught up with my wagons and was going along the trail, when suddenly we were stopped. On riding forward I found the cause of the delay. The trail was crossed by a sunken road, which was practically a ditch twelve feet deep and about fifteen feet wide. Rough ramps had been made by caving in the sides of the ditch, the farther one a rather stiff pull up. The heavily loaded ones of the Japanese carts could not make the ascent. Without any fuss the drivers partly unloaded their carts, carried the boxes up the slope, drove their lightened carts up, reloaded, and continued their march. All of the boxes could be handled by one man. The lightly loaded carts made the ascent without difficulty. Lieutenant J. A. Baer, U. S. A., in Harper's Weekly. Jimmie's Joke. Jimmie Keller, traffic manager of a big wholesale hardware house, entered his office, a few days ago to find F. O. Hatch, agent of the Chicago Great Western, sitting on his desk with his feet in a chair. "Hello, Jimmie," said Hatch, who is not wanting in self-possession, "I want a carload of freight out of you today. I haven't scraped together a car of freight in a week." "I've just got a car you can have," replied Keller. And he gave Hatch directions for the shipments of a carload of endless chain, to come from the Endless Chaln Company, Chicago. Hatch, gulleless as a schoolgirl, telegraphed the order to his Chicago office and the following day received a telegram in reply, which read: "Cannot locate Endless Chain Company. What is the address?" Hatch hurried back to Keller for an explanation. "Why, the Endless Chain Company is a big concern," declared Keller, "occupying a big piece of ground on Endless avenue." Still unsuspecting, Hatch wired back that the concern was located on Endless avenue. "Cannot locate Endless Chain Company," was the next reply that came from Chicago. "You know Endless avenue is a pretty long avenue," said Keller, when Hatch came back for more exploit, information. "However, I have a simpler way cut of the difficulty. The place in Chicago is simply the head office of the company. You had better get in communication with the factory." "Where is the factory?" inquired Hatch. "At Endlessville, O." Hatch is now trying to locate Endlessville, and the entire mercantile community is enjoying a quiet bit of merriment.—San Francisco Chronicle, Plea For the Simple Life. "Speaking of the weeful waste of money, we wish to interrupt the meeting long enough to give a few figures on an important matter that seems to have been entirely overlooked," says Homer Hoch. "We refer to the four buttons on the sleeves of men's coats. Now, there are probably 600,000 men in Kansas and they probably have on an average two coats apiece. That makes 1,200,000 coats and 4,800,000 or 400,000 dozen sleeve buttons. The buttons cost about 20 cents a dozen, and at that rate the men of Kansas alone are carrying around on their coat sleeves in the forms of buttons that have no use on earth or in the sky an investment of about $80,000. And the estimate is most conservative. Fellow-countrymen, in the name of economy, and thrift, and philanthropy, and business sense, and all sorts of other things, is there no way to stop this reckless extravagance?"—Kansas City Journal.

PRESIDENT WRIGHT is being very much encouraged from the bright outlook for the State Fair. Prominent men in every part of the state are writing offering support. There is no reason why the fair can not be a big success. It is significant that some of our men are mighty active at present in the interest of the colored voters and anxious to have them pay their tax. This certainly would have been to better advantage about four months ago. All of us are interested in having every single colored man become a tax payer. In Atlanta last week a white man was arrested for visiting a colored resort on Decatur street. It is hoped that the line will be tightly drawn and every white man be compelled to keep on his side of the fence. In traveling, where there are separate cars, keep him out of the colored people's coach and socially let him be satisfied with the women of his race. It was reported on Wednesday that a colored man accused of murder in South Carolina, was arrested in Florida, and on account of being a mason he was taken from the officers by a mob and allowed to escape. The truthfulness of this report can not be believed and it is a stigma upon Negro Masonry. As masons the colored man will in no manner uphold lawlessness and especially protect a murderer, it matters not how high he may be in the order. Masonle Notes. Grand Master Butler has been indisposed recently, but is now much better. The doctor's efforts for the advancing of the interest of the Order has caused him much extra labor. The sympathy of the entire jurisdiction goes out to Past Grand Senior Warden, J. H Covington on account of the death of Mrs. Covington. The remains were taken to Americus for interment. Nearly every officer of the Lodges that have communicated with the Grand Secretary have promised to make a larger report this year than that of last year and make same promptly. Do not send assessments for the Orphan Home to the Grand Secretary, it must be sent to Bro. W. H. Spencer, at Columbus. The Grand Lodge meets in Americus, Tuesday, June 12th, at 9 a.m. A full representation is expected. The Grand Secretary has sent every Lodge in the Jurisdiction a call of the annual communication, a blank form of credentials and a blank for the rendering of annual reports Worshipful Masters and Secretaries must consult and go to their post offices for the same. If the blanks are not received, write the Grand Sec't'y immediately for more. The returns with fees must be sent to the Grand Secretary on or before May 1. Every member of subordinate Lodges must become interested in this matter and see that their respective Lodges comply with the requirements. Pythagoras Lodge had initiation on Monday night last. Worshipful Master Petty felt elated because a number of the brethren were out and the candidates were in fine trim. One of the candidates who have been bragging about what he was going to do to the goat, changed his mind when he did put in appearance and proceeded to address the Throne of Grace in a most pitiful manner. Billy was sorry, but could do him no good. Fair Stockholders Met. The stockholders of the Colored State Fair met at the office of the Wage Earners Loan and Investment Company, on Tuesday last for the purpose of furthering plans for the first-colored state fair. President R. R. Wright, presided. The meeting was largely attended and much important business was transacted. MR. JULIAN SMITH. Mr. Julian Smith, the subject of this sketch, is no stranger to the citizens of this city and community. He came to this city about 18 years ago and at once allied himself with the best of the people, making friends with both young and old. Although shorn of the advantages which ready cash guarantees to man, he at once set about to make for himself a reputation among business men and ordinary citizens and thus lay a foundation for future success, in both the business and social functions of the city. And with this unction which is the parent of genius he has succeeded to the satisfaction of himself and to the amazement of those, even, who best know him. Some years ago, he was made treasurer of Protection Lodge, G U. O. of O. F., at that time the finance of the Lodge was at low wafer mark, there being only $1500 on hand, since which time until the present, he has held this important position. Under his skillful management and manipulations, the funds of this Lodge have continued to increase. At present this Lodge has to its credit something over a thousand dollars. This fact shows conclusively, the keen scrutiny with which he has guarded the Lodge's interest, as well as the marked sagacity of Mr. Smith as a financier. For quite a number of years, he has dealt in the ice business and his success has been signal. Taking into consideration the fact that enormous ice plants are dispensing commodity at all times and to all parts of the city and too being mindful of the fact that competition is Rev. R. H. Thomas was appointed state soliciting agent. Directors for the following departments were appointed: Premiums and county exhibits, Hon. Deal Jackson; Exhibits from Secondary Shools, Mr. James G. Lemon; Statistics, Mr. M. N. Work; Railroad rates, Col. J. H. Deveaux; Art, Dr. J. A. Brockett; Publicity and Farmers Conferences, Mr. L. B. Thompson; Slavery time Relics, Mr. R. M. Cooper. Mr. Sol. G. Johnson was appointed special agent to receive subscriptions from and work up interest in the civic societies throughout the state. Arrangements were also made for appointing committees on agriculture, cattle, sheep, hogs, dairy products, horses, colts, ponies, agricultural implements, floriculture, horticulture, poultry and feed stock, and woman's work. The following Vice Presidents were elected . Hon. Deal Jackson, Albany; Rev. R. H. Thomas; Dr. C. T. Walker, Augusta; Hon. L. W. Whitehead, Eastman; Hon. R. C. Reese, Rogers; Hon. D. E Dickerson, Statesboro; Hon. Sam. Graham, Telfair county; Washington Crollev. Mt. Vernon. It was also decided to get out a prospectus of the fair giving a list of premiums and other information concerning the fair. The place where the fair is to be held has not been decided upon but the leading cities and towns in the State are contending for the honor of entertaining the first Colored State Fair. The city of Macon has offered free of charge the beautiful very keen in the ice trade, it will appear all the more signal that Mr Smith has not been pushed to the wal and forced to seek another avocation. But instead, each summer brings to him an increase in business, and as a consequence, greater profits. He numbers among his patrons the best citizens of this city all of whom would commend him for his gentility, ac curateness and promptness. Aside from this line of business he has interests in all of the concerns manipulated by the Colored Business men of the city and in some of which, he is recognized as an important factor. For a long time he has been vice president and treasurer of the Union Benefit Association whoea name and fame has gone out far and wide. He was recently elected president of this as sociation as a reward for his honesty, sagacity and business tact. He is a director and treasurer of the Union Loan and Investment Co., own stock in both the Metropolitan and the Wage Earners, both of which are well managed concerns. He is a free holder, having belongings not only in Chatham County, but also in Bulloch and Emanuel. This is a record that is worthy of note and must push Mr. Smith forward for recognition among all classes of citizens. He is strenuously following out the doctrine of ownership and we predict, basing our calculations for the future upon the visible and tangible successes he has made in the past, that he will stand to future generations as model of honest toil, thrift and providence.

President Wright is receiving letters every day from prominent farmers assuring their hearty cooperation in the movement. Gallant Knights to The Fore Last Sunday was observed by the members of the Knights of Pythias all over the state. It was especially observed in this city. The members of the various lodges gathered at the Masonic Temple and escorted by Feay, Joshua and Royal companies marched to the Second Baptist Church, where the exercises were held. The edifice is one of the largest in the city, yet it was unable to accommodate the host of knights, the ladies of the several Courts and their friends. The program as published in THE TRIBUNE of last week was carried out. Sir Knight E. W. Sherman, in his usual graceful and able manner as master of ceremonies added much to the interest in the program. It was by far the best ever held by the Knights. Rev. Brockett in his dramatic manner ably portrayed the principles of the order and elicited the continuous applause of everybody. Sir Knight McIntosh fluently delivered the oration, only as one of his ability can do. G. M. of E., Cohen gave a lucid account of the working of the endowment department and paid the claim of the late G. W. Thompson of Olympia Lodge. The ladies and others on the program did well their parts. Every knight and lady of the Courts had cause to feel proud of the showing made which will be the means of increasing the already large membership of both orders. Petition for Incorporation.

Subject: "Square Deat in Religion." Brooklyn, N. Y.-As the subject of his sermon Sunday the Rev. Livingston L. Taylor, pastor of the Puritan Congregational Church, spoke on "The Square Deal in Religion." He took two texts: Proverbs xi.22: "They that deal truly are His delight," and Psalm xi.17: "The righteous Lord loveth right- ness." Mr. Taylor said: The kingdom of heaven is a square deal on earth. From the night visions of the shepherds to the day dreams of St. John it is peace and good will on earth, among men, which the hosts of God are seen bestirring themselves to promote. And He who came from heaven lived brother to all men, that they might ever after dwell as brethren here. But there can be no kingdom of brotherly men on earth with any other throne set up than that of a fatherly God in heaven. The square deal has its vertical lines as well as its horizontal. The horizon never limited Christ's vision. He lived for the day when men would treat God right. In that day no man will have anything to fear from any other man. The thinking world is coming around more and more to Christ's estimate of religion as the power that must set things right among men. But in His day and in ours the problem of the square deal involves religion itself. It has always been hard to get a square deal for religion. It has always been hard to maintain a square deal in presenting the claims of religion. It has always been hard to keep a square deal at the heart of religion. These things should be borne in mind by us all as we enter upon the special religious activities and privileges of the Lenten season. The square deal in religion involves a square deal for religion. And this in turn involves two things: first, a fair-minded attitude toward religious phenomena, institutions, doctrines and persons, and second, a determination to deal fairly with our own religious nature, a determination to give the soul a square deal. Men deal more fairly with the fact of religion than they used to. They are settling down to the conclusion that the race is "incorrigibly religious." They are beginning to understand that the world's history could not have been what it has been if men had no capacity and need for religion. Religion must be recognized as a legitimate human interest unless we want to throw out of court the most persistent of all classes of facts. Religion must be recognized as one of the great human interests if we are to maintain any sort of proportion in our view of human life as a whole. Religion must be recognized as the supreme human interest if we would be consistent with any reasonable definition of religion. If religion is an affair of the soul in its relations with the infinite nothing short of this is reasonable or right. We should expect to see men, as we do, striving to make religion supreme, not content with anything short of the religious interpretation of the universe and of human life, determined to have some sort of religious system, spending and being spent in the service of religious institutions, their churches, their missions. We should deal as fairly with these facts as we do with the facts which convince us that it is natural for men to have music, that it is natural for men to express themselves and to find pleasure in the varied forms of art, that it is natural for men to concern themselves with the right and wrong of things and of their own lives. But fair dealing with the fact of religion requires that we should recognize the limitations and the inevitable imperfection of all the forms in which the religious aspirations of men find expression. It is nothing to the discredit of religion if our best efforts to embody it fall short of those visions of its glory with which our souls are blessed. It is no less a treasure because we have it in earthen vessels. Religious systems are confessedly imperfect. Religious persons are full of faults. But they exist. They are facts. And they are as good evidence of man's religious nature as they are of the imperfection of all things human. But how about our own religious nature, yours and mine? Have we been treating it fairly? In 1STG George Romanes, a brilliant young British scientist, came to the conclusion that he had no right to a soul or a God, and that it was his "obvious duty to stifle all belief" and to "discipline his intellect with regard to this matter into an attitude of the purest skepticism." "I am not ashamed to confess," he wrote at the time, "that with this virtual negation of God the universe to me has lost its soul of loveliness." And he was oppressed by "the appalling contrast between the hallowed glory of that creed which was once mine, and the lonely mystery of existence as I now find it." A little less than twenty years later George Romanes became convinced that in seeking to deal unfinchingly with the facts of physical science he had ignored the most significant of all facts, the most directly known, the most completely attested of all facts, the facts of his own religious nature. He came to recognize that it is "reasonable to be a Christian believer." Before his untimely death he had returned "to that full, deliberate communion with the church of Jesus' Christ which he had for so many years been conscientiously compelled to forego." In the multitude of his thoughts within him he had secured a square deal for his soul. Our difficulties may not be his, but we have them. The things which make it hard for us to secure our souls their chance may be very different from the things which made it hard for him. Scientific men of to-day have less to make them feel as the seemingly triumphant materialis. of the seventies made young Romanes feel about having a God and a soul. But our difficulties may be of another class entirely. Perhaps they are far less creditable to our intellectual sincerity, less creditable to our moral purpose, evil inclinations and the multiplied opportunities for graffying them that make it hard for their souls to get fair hearing. "The lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye and the pride of life are not of the Father," John tells us. But something more is true. They out-Herod Herod in their conspiracy against what 0 is heaven-born in us. They are not only "not of the Father," but they are the deadly foes of all that is of the Father. Happy are the souls in which the flight into Egypt comes out as it does in Matthew's Gospel of the Infancy. Let us not hesitate to play Joseph to our threatened soul. All the dreams and angels that we need will be forthcoming if we are faithful, and we shall get back to Nazareth. Somehow Herod will be circumvented. And though it be neither scientific doctrines nor will propensities which do most to make it hard for our souls, but just the petty preoccupations and the daily burdens and the round of more or less irritating duties of our common life, we are under the same sacred obligation and have the same encouragement to secure for our souls the square deal God means them to have. Let us never forget that Jesus Christ is the great champion of a square deal for every soul, and that that means ours. A square deal in presenting the claims of religion should be religiously maintained. God is eternally against anything else. Jeremiah never said anything which bears more unmistakably the seal of a divine ratification than when he called it "a wonderful and horrible thing" that had come to pass in the land; that "the prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so." But a square deal in presenting the claims of religion rules out, no, merely wilful falsification and perversion of the truth. It rules out intolerance and demands a square deal for the religious convictions of other people. It rules out dogmatism and demands a square deal for whatever new light may break forth. It rules out the insinuation of doubt and deands a square deal for the feeblest and most unintelligent faith. It rules out insincerity of whatever kind. But it does not rule out loyalty to deep convictions, nor definiteness of teaching, nor the replacing of the broken reed of an outworn doctrine with the strong staff of a living truth. To be absolutely loyal to the truth, and yet deal fairly with all the spiritual interests affected by the manner in which the claims of religion are presented, is no light thing to achieve. But of one thing, those to whom we go with the call of Christ must be left in no doubt, and that is that, so far as in us lies and God gives us light upon our way, we mean to be square with them. God made our ears so that they instinctively protect themselves against cant. They close as quickly as the threatened eye. The square deal in religion involves a square deal at the heart of religion. The central doctrine should be the righteousness of God, the righteous dealing of God with men, a square deal and nothing less for all men, a square deal and nothing more for "the saved." Paul never gets, tired of telling us that God does not save us by doing anything wrong. He is continually declaring God's righteousness in His way of saving men, that He is at once "just and the justifier of him that hath faith in Jesus." Paul proclaims the triumph of the square deal in Christ. In Him "mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other." All that God offers to us in Christ He has a right to offer. He comes before the bar of our conscience with His great gospel of forgiveness. If it is not ratified there it can never give us peace. It is not the less sensitive consciences which have borne the most unequitocal testimony to the peace which God gives in Christ Jesus. But there should be nothing to settle between your conscience and your doctrine of salvation. We are not saved by dishonest bookkeeping. Nothing is credited to us which does not belong to us in God's sight. Every item which justifies God in His mercy toward us may not appear. But no scheme that could not pass muster with us in our dealing with men can represent the redemptive dealings of God with sinners. The man who finds peace with God through Jesus Christ just believes that whatever safeguarding of righteousness was necessary when God's mercy set out to save him has not been neglected. But while we need not fear that God will offer us more than He has a right to, we need have, on the other hand, no fear of giving too much to Him if we give all. "Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were a present far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all." Negative Living. Living to escape trouble is a poor kind of existence. The smaller animals in the forests and mountains have to give a large share of their attention to avoiding catastrophe, but man was made for another kind of life. "How are you?" a man called out to his friend in passing. "I can't complain," was the ready answer. Poor fellow! The best that he could say was that he was successfully dodging disaster for the moment! The present moment ought to make the highest point of joyous accomplishment our lives have yet known. God means that it should. We have more to be thankful for today than ever before since we or the world came into being. Even our unconscious habits of speech will indicate this if we are living abundantly. God's Care. People talk about special providences. I believe in providences, but not in the specialty. I do not believe that God lets the thread of my affairs go for six days, and on the seventh evening takes it up for a moment. The so-called special providences are no exception to the rule—they are common to all men at all moments. But it is a fact that God's care is more evident in some instances of it than in others, to the dim and often bewildered vision of humanity. Upon such instances men seize and call them providences. It is well that they can, but it would be gloriously better if they could believe that the whole matter is one grand providence—George MacDonald. All We Have to Do. The discipline which we choose for ourselves does not destroy our self-love like that which God assigns us Himself each day. All we have to do is to give ourselves up to God day by day, without looking further. He carries us in His arms as a loving mother carries her child. In every need let us look with love and trust to our heavenly Father—Francois dela Mothe Fenelem "You consider the ground hog a weather prophet?" weather propthee "Yes," answered Mr. Sirius Barker.

"When I was one month old I was taken with eczema. After being under the treatment of two doctors for one month, and no improvement, my mother was advised by a druggist to try Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I was one crust of sores from head to foot. My mother could brush the scales off my body, and my finger and toe nails fell. After using six cakes of Cuticura Soap and about as much Cuticura Ointment I was completely cured. I am now seventeen years old, and my skin has not a scar. I am still finding wonders in Cuticura; after washing a fever blister two days it was completely gone.

At Every Drug Store In $1.00 Bottles Four Killed and Many Others Hurt in Explosions. BIG BLAZE IN NEW YORK Flames Destroy a Six-Story Factory Building and Series of Explosions Entrap Firefighters Under Piles of Debris. Four firemen perished and about a score of firemen and citizens were injured in New York city Monday in a fire which was accompanied by a series of explosions that demolished a six-story factory building at Bedford and Downing streets. That the damage, which is estimated at from $300,000 to $400,000, was not far greater, was declared by Chief Croker to be due to the explosions which shattered the building and crushed the blaze beneath tons of debris at the moment when the flames were completely beyond control and threatening to sweep the entire block. One fireman was taken out of the building alive, but died almost immediately. The bodies of his comrades were recovered after the fire was over, crushed under the wreckage. The dead are: Foreman John Walsh, Fireman George C. Christian, Fireman John Walsh, Fireman Thomas L. Halpin, Fireman J. Healy. All of these men were of engine company No. 14. Fireman Jacob Cohen and L. F. Call, also of engine company No. 14, were burned and bruised and removed to the hospital. The other persons injured were for the most part employees in the factory, dwellers in the adjacent tenements and persons passing in the streets, who were struck by falling brick or glass. None of these were seriously hurt. Three hundred men and women were in the factory building during the lunch hour, when a slight explosion occurred on one of the upper floors and almost instantly the whole structure was enveloped in flames. Some had time to reach the street by the stairs, but the greater number were compelled to take refuge on the fire escapes, where they remained huddled together and imploring assistance until the fire engines arrived. Before the fire ladder could be run up policemen, firemen and volunteers formed a human pyramid against the front wall of the factory, and in this way handed down to safety upward of sixty girls, who were clinging to the fire escapes on the second floor. Others jumped into the life saving nets or on plies of bedding hastily gathered and heaped on the sidewalks. Within ten minutes all the occupants of the building had been taken out in safety and unhurt, save for minor injuries. A WEDDING CUT SHORT. Father Mortally Wounds His Daughter and Kills Himself.

C. Harvey of the Northeastern both deny the reported WILLIAMSMAKESPROTEST Against Statement of Watson In His Magazine Anent Question of Cutting South's Representation. A Washington dispatch says: Hon. John Sharp Williams of Mississippi, democratic leader of the house of representatives, raises his voice in vigorous protest against the remarkable contention of Tom Watson, that it makes no difference if the south's representation in congress is reduced. Being queried on the subject Mr. Williams said: "It is a curious question to ask a sane man. You might about as well ask me, if it was of no interest or value to a man to cut off one of his arms, with which he fights and with which he resists. "The answer seems so obvious that it is hard to answer at all. In addition to the ordinary legislation concerning rivers and harbors, rural free delivery and the hundred and one other things, in which each part of the union is interested in seeing that it gets justice and fair dealing, there are the great principles of a fundamental character, concerning which people differ, not only as individuals, but as sections. The less votes a section has, the less its power to do its own will, or to resist others when they would do their will against it. "If the south had had less representation than it now has, the republicans would have had a two-thirds majority—and therefore a constitution-changing majority—in a half dozen congresses, where they have not had it. In addition to all this, there are sentimental reasons why the south wants to remain as strong as possible in the popular body of the national legislature. Her traditions and ideals are strong in proportion to her representation." No recent political development has so stirred the senators and representatives from the southern states as Watson's declaration in the Marca number of his magazine that it would make no difference to the south or to the democratic party if the representation of the southern states in the national house and in the electoral college should be cut in accordance with the schedule outlined by Representative Kelfer (republican) in the reduction bill he has introduced. Watson, in the March issue of his magazine, declares: "It makes no difference whatever to Georgia or to the people in her limits whether she has six representatives in congress (the number proposed by General Keifer) or eleven (the number to which the state is entitled)." The Keifer schedule provides for the following reductions in the representation of the southern states: From. To. Alabama... 9 5 Arkansas... 7 5 Florida... 3 1 Georgia... 1 6 Louisiana... 7 3 Mississippi... 8 3 North Carolina... 10 6 South Carolina... 7 3 Tennessee... 10 8 Texas... 16 12 Virginia... 10 8 Totals... 98 60 Total reduction... 38 FACTORIES BAR UNION MEN.

The owners state that the action was taken as the result of intimidation of non-union employees by union hands. The employers also claim that High Point laborers are among the best paid in the south. There are about 5,000 laborers in the town, 1,500 of whom belong to the union. High Point has 40 other factories of various kinds. TWENTY YEARS FOR SPRIGGS.
