A Hearty Co-Operation of Every Race Lover.in Every Part of State Solic- ited—Forty Years of Freed2m and its Progress Will Be Exemplified. Tlie movement for the fair grew out of-the Farmers” Conferences that bave been held at the ‘Georgia State Industrial College for the past sevea “years. . - Every year these farmers have urs; ed President Wright to begin the State Falr, but not until this-year di President Wright decide to inaug»- rate the enterprise. The Fair is, therefore, a movement inaugurated and supported by the: practical farm- ers of the state. It is being pushe1 forward at their earnest solicitation, and whatever success that may crown the undertaking must, in a large measure, be, attributed to the practical tillers of the soll. * President Wright is being supported in the enterprise by the hundreds of prosperous colored farmers to be found all over the state. Letters are received from them daily, setting forth their interest in the movement. ° Hon. Deal Jackson is the first vice -president; Rey. R. H.

The shares in the capital stock of “the Georgie State Colored Agricultu- ral and Industrial ‘Association, jhe charter tame of the organization, have been placed at one dollar each, and every raceloving person is urged to take at least one share. More than one thousand shares were subscribed io Savannah in one night. Let ‘the people rally to the support of this worthy enterprise. * It is a bopeful sign of the times to note th> interest and enthusiasia with which the colored people of the stale are responding to the move ment for a State Falr this year. _ It is strarge, and yet true, that the colored people of Georgia, the Empire State of the South, have waited co long, in begmuing this enterprise. In several other Southern States the col- ored people have been conducting State Fairs for more than twenty-five years, North Carolina, with a coloz- ed population less than onehalf of that of Georgia, conducts a State Fair that is highly creditable, and is pa- tronized and supported by thousands Of her own people and many others from different parts of the country. ‘This colored Fair has all of the fea- {ures and compares favorably with the white State Fair of the “Old ‘North State.” The colored farmers ‘of Georgia “own 1,284,336 acres. of land. They bave $3,889,441 worth of horses, mules and cattle and stock of’all kinds, and $880,559 worth of plantation and me- “chanical tools. Counting city, county and all prop- erty, the colored people pay taxes on more than $18,087,934. In a word, the colored people start- ed forty years ago, with absolutely nothing and today pay taxes on more than $18,000,000 worth of property. ‘The Promoters of the Fair propose to show the people of Georgia and the worki what the Georgia Negroes have accomplished during their forty years of freedom. Every branch ol! Negro development and progress will be represented at the Fair. To thi: end, representative men from all paits of the state have been placed in charge of the various departments, and have already begun active work along their respective lines. ‘The Fair will be held early In No- vember (place to be decided upon later) and will_continue for six days. It will begin on Tuesday and conclude on Sunday night. The following is a tentative pro- gram for the six days of the fair: Tuesday—Opening, educational and assembly day. . 'Wednesday—Civie society day. Thursday—Labor day; Negro busi- ness enterprises. Friday—Woman’s days Saturday—Farmers’ day and pre- miums, The five nights will be given to meetiogs setting forth the progress of the ruces with. addresses by distin guished men. 7 Committees for the following lines of work have been appointed: Live stock, including horses, mules, cows, hogs, sheep, goats, ete. Poul- try, registered and common, cotton. Farm products such as corn, cane, ete. [reek products, Dairy products, Frults, preserving, etc. Embroidery and NeedJework, Manufactures. Use- ful and fine arts. Slavery time rel- ies. Amusements. Concessions. Souve- nirs. To these committees others will be added at the discretion of the pres- ident and board of directors. ‘The following gentlemen have been appointed for special work in connec- tion with the Fair: ‘Rey. R. H. Thomas of Savannah, State Soliclting Agent; Hon. Deal Jeckson of Albany, Director of Pre- miums and County Exhibits; Profes- sor James G, Lemon, Exhibits from Secondary Schools; Col. J.

Rey. W. G. Johnson is the chairman: Professor J. W. Holly, See- retary; Professor C. D. King, Assist- ant Secretary, and Dr. W. O. Emery, Treasurer. Among the other promin- ent citizens of Macon who are taking an active interest in the Falr may be mentioned Dr. E. E Green, Dr. Braswell, Mr. Douglas, Mr. John Phil- Ups, Rev. Dr. Kennedy and Mr. ©. if. Holmes. A Fair Association is to be organ: ized in’ every county’ in the state, and active workers will be put to work in the country districts, encouraging the people to make exhibits and In. viting them to attend the Fair. From present indications the Fair bids fair to bea great success, Ev- ery colored person in the state Is urged to put forth every effort to make the Fair a creditable exhibition of the progress of the race. Let all the progressive farmers ‘plant special crops and prepare their fine stock te be exhibited at the Fair; let the women of the state vie with each other In pastry cooking, pre- Serves and plain and fancy needle work; let the meghanics send spect- men drawings, and models of their work; let the schools of the state send specimen examination papers settinz forth character of their work; let the thousands of civic societies in the state send statistics of the financial and numerical strength; Iet the Negro business and professional men send something ta show the people what they are doing; in a word, let the best of everything that reffects credit up- on the race be in evidence at th first colored State Fair to be held in the Siate of Georgia. ‘APPEAL TO ROOSEVELT.

Founding of Booker Washing ton’s Negro School. — A dispatch from Tuskegee, Ala, says: Owing to the delay in the ar- rival of the Ogden special trains, the beginning of the exercises In connec- tion with the celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the ‘'us- kegee Normal and Industrial Instl- tute, which was slated for Wednes- day morning, was delayed until night. | Among those who came on the Og- ‘den train were Secretary of War Wil- liam H. Taft, Robert C, Ogden, pres- ident of the board of trustees; Charles W. Eilot, president of” Harvard University; Dr. Lyman ‘H. Abbott, and Oswald Garrison Villard, editor of the New York Evening Post. ‘The party was greeted by 1,500 stu- dents and alumni and members’ of the faculty and board of trustees. Booker T. Washington, principal of the Tuskegee Institute, In his address, sald: “And Jesus said, I will make you fishers of men.” “In the spirit of these words the foundation of this Inatitntion was lald In 1881, through a gift from the state of Alabama.” . . - “For twenty-five years, then, ‘te Tuskegee Normal and Industrial In- stitute has Leen fishing for men, What of it, and with what results? In our qnest we have used land, houses, barns, henneries, shops, laundries, kitchens, class rooms, the Bible, arith- metic, the saw, the trowel, the plow, and money—all these and more—w0 have used In our effort to fish for Taen. “Primarily, I believe that my race has found itself so far ay its per- monent location is concerned.” . Mr. Ogden delivered an address ua the significance of the celebration. He spoke of the fact that Tuskege2 Institute stood out as “the unmatch- ed example of the possibilities of an institution entirely controlled in its diversified academic and industrial curriculum, productive Industries, ex- ecutive orgunization and business af- fairs by a faculty and corps cf man- agers composed entirely of men ani women of African descent.” In his address Secretary Talt dwelt mainly upon present conditions in the south as they affect the negro race and the efforts which various southern states have made to restrict negr> suffrage. He declared that Institutions like Booker Washington's were doing much to insure the negro race against the loss of his ballot on account of “educational” qualifications to sut- frage. He declared that where such, Jaws existed the educated negro could yote and iis vote must be counted, and with the gradual increase of the educated negro vote under such re- striclions, they would come to hold the ‘balance of power. He declared such measures would secure'the negro greater power than if there were no restrictions on account of education. In the course of his remarks he said: “If then, with the Independence of thought and action which economic independence will surely give them, they divide their votes between con- tending parties, thelr votes will be sought instead of suppressed, and the votes of ignorant whites will be more vigorously excluded. Such a gradual acquisition of political power will se cure more real political power and ability to help the negroes in their* right if suffrage was unrestricted. I vannot* put myself among those pess!- mists who regard the settlement of the political question in the south as beyond hope.” President Eliot spoke on “What Up- its a Race and What Holds It Down,” HOST WITNESSED HANGING. Ten Thousand Morbid Texans Saw ‘Tom Young Pay Penalty. * Fully 10,000 pergons witnessed the public hanging of Wom Young, in Williamson county, Texas, Friday. The hanging occurra’ on the open prafrie, and spectators came from a radius of 50 miles, hundreds being with their families In wagons. Young was a white man about 30 years of age, and was convicted of as saulting and murdering a 16-year-old girl whom he had adopted. “WHITE HOUSE ‘LAWS” ‘ scents Given a Sarcastic Roast by Minority Senators—Tillman Presents His Daily Letter of Complaint. When the senate convened Tucs day Mp. Tillman presented his daily letter on the railroad and coal situa- tion, the letter in this case being a complaint from-C. W. Eeds of Balls- ton Spa, N. Y., a coal dealer, who said that he had been crowded out of business by the Delaware and Hud- son Railroad company, which had set up a retail business of its own. Mr. Tillman represented the letter as a flashlight on a new phase of the coal situation, “This road is one of five engaged in the coal business,” he sald. “Not satisfied with monopo- lizing the production and transpor- tation of coal, {t now engages in tue retail business.” During Mr. Long’s speech there was quite a spirited discussion of his amendment and its origin. There had been a controversy over the words | “just compensation,” which have been | frequently used.in debate. | Mr. Bailey was anxious to have an- —swered the question concerning the white house conference Saturday. “Was the amendment submitted by Mr. Long agreed upon at.the confer- ence and did such a conference oc- eur?” The Iowa senator arose during tho reading and turning from Mr. Long, the Texas senator addressed his query to Senator Allison, “I went to the white house on invi- tation,” sald Mr. Allison, adding: “To my knowledge this important question of just compensation was not consid- ered at that time.” Mr, Bailey then asked Mr, Long to state whether his amendment had been agreed on at the conference. “This amendment,” responded Mr. Long, “was prepared by several gen- tlemen not at the white house.” Mr. Bailey then asked whether “the amendment was considered by the conference,” and Mr. Long responded that “the conference did consider the amendment.” Mr. Bailey remarked that this aamis- sion had had the effect of clarifying the situation, He then indulged in a brief criticism of the president for hig participation in the conference, saying that the constitution provides a way for the chief executive to com- municate with the senate, and that It did not contemplate that he should merely invite a few friends, all of his own party, to consider contemplated legislation. * Mr. Allison interrupted, saying, *T was not invited to a conference. I was Intited to the white house.” Replying to Mr. Foraker, Mr. Alli- son sald: “I say in brief that I de- cline to say what transpired at a pri- vate meeting at the president's, house.” | ‘Mr. Bacon said he wanted to know whether if the president has the: right to suggest an amendment at this stage of the proceedings It would be necessary to refer back to the white house any possible modifications of the provision to ascertain whether it {s acceptable. “The amendment {s nothing more nor less than,a suggestion,” said Mr. Long. Mr, Bacon demanded to know tho source of the amendment. “4 suggestion from whom; from the president?” he asked. “From myself,” answered Mr. Long. . “Ah.” replied Mr. Bacon, with evi- dent disappointment. Recurring to the merits of the con- troversy, Mr. Bacon referred to the newspaper account of the conference and sald that the fact thet Mr. Long had introduced in the senate the amendment as the papers had sald, he would completely corroborate the accounts, “This,” he said, “shows that the amendment originated in the white jhouse conference and not with the senator from Kansas, with those who have no right to propose amend- ments.” Coatly Plant Destroyed.

NATIONAL CONTROL Of Quarantine Gets Favorable - Vote in the House, ‘ i— NLY TWENTY-SIX, NAYS Texas Representatives Were Strongly Opposed to Measure—Debate Was Limited by’ Rule to Only Four Hours. - = By a vote of 202 to 26 the house Thursday paysed the national quar- ,antine bill, The bill places the con- trol of all quarantine stations, groun?> and anchorages under the secretary of the treasury, and directs that as soon ag practicable after (1 approval of the act he shall select gnd design at such suitable places for them and establish at such points on ‘or near the seacoast of the Mexican border as in\his judgment are best suited for the same In order to pre- vent (he introduction of yellow fever into the United States. The bill further gives the secre tary of the treasury the right to es; (ablish a quarantine station at the Dry Tortugas islands and at such oth- er points ac or near the seacoast (not to exceed four in the aggregate) as he deems necessary. The bill also provides that every common carrier engaged in interstate commerce shall recelve and carry through any state or territory pas- sengers, freight and baggage which may have been discharged and prop- erly ‘certified in accordance with the regulations of the public health and marine hospital service that every per- son interfering with or obstructing such carrier or any passengers or any instrumentality of commerce In yoy such carriage or journey shall e gullty of misdemeanor aud on con- ‘ction be punished by a fine not cx- eeding $300 or be imprisoned for a eriod not exceeding one year, or both, a the discretion of the court. It Is provided that this section shall not be construed as giving authority to any person to debark or unload frelght in any locality contrary to the laws of the state. When: the house convened Mr. Wil- Iams of Mississippi reported a rule” from the committee on rules bring- ing before the house the national quar- Gntine bill, debate belong Mmited to four hours. Mr. Dalzell of Pennsylvania face- tlously called the attention of tho house to the position assumed by the ‘eader of the minority reporting. o Tule to consider a great constitutfonal question which might with entire pro- priety be considered for a we or even three weelis, the leader of tho minority particlpating-In the humor uf the situation. ¥ Mr. Williams, after the applause, died out, sald that be would take occasion to express his opinion, dur- ing the course of the debate, of a code of rules which required him, fo order to ‘secure consideration of a bill futended to protect the women and children of a third of the coun- try from the ravages of a foa more deadly that an armed host, to resort to such a. procedure. Mr. Henry of Teras, in opposition o the measure, had read a telegram » yom Jackson, Bfiss., stating that tho touse appropriation committee had wreed to unfavorably report the ap- propriation bill for the state board of health. Mr. Henry sald, represeat- ing 3,000,000 people in part, he would resist with all his might the alm of congress to take away from the peo- ple ot Texas the right to make their own quarantine regulations, “THe government has not the power to in- terfere’ with the quarantine regula- tions of the state of Texes,” he added. ‘Mr. Bowers of Mississippi, In fa. yoring the bill, sald that he belteved it the plain duty of the government to protect the health of the people. ‘BMr. Burleson of Texas resisted tho idea that quarantine regulations be- longed to the federal authority, when the states were capable of policing their own boundaries. Judge ‘Adamson of Georgla and Judge Richardson of Tennessee, both of them members of the interstate commerce committee, which reported the bill, took am active part in tho debate In the closing hours, It was largely through the efforts of these gentlemen that the bill was saved and finally passed. General debate having terminated, Mr. Underwood of Alabama offered’an amendment, which was adopted fix- The Guaranty Aid and Relief Society SOL. C. JOHNSON, Supt. of Agencies. B. W.

R. E. Parsi The Bible Institute of the North Georgia Conference will meet in Gainesville on April 16, and will remain in session several days.

Twenty banks have been organized up to date in the state of Georgia during the year 1906. In 1905, which was the banner year for the organization of banks in Georgia, the total amounted to 86. The number chartered on the first quarter of the present year shows that the record of 1906 will in all likelihood reach that of the greatest year on record up to date, so far as mere numbers are concerned. * * * Greek "Citizens" to Face Court. Judge Speer has ordered the clerk of the United States court at Savannah to have the jury boxes in court so that he may draw a new jury. This means that the cases arising out of the alleged fraudulent naturalization of Greek citizens will be tried at this term of the court. The time when they will be tried is dependent on the time when the Greene-Gaynor case is concluded. Andy Donates to Girls' College. Andrew Carnegie has passed the $200,000 mark in his gifts in and around Atlanta. His latest philanthropic move is the tender of the sum of $25,000 to the Agnes Scott Institute of Decatur for a library building. However, Mr. Carnegie did not deviate from his percentage rule in the contribution of the money, for it is provided that the gift shall not be available until friends of the school shall present the institute with the sum of $25,000. * * * Will Test Tax Law. The Southern Bell Telephone company has just put the state on notice that it purposes to contest in the courts the constitutionally of the law which requires all telephone, telegraph and express companies doing business in Georgia to pay the state taxes amounting to 21-2 per cent on their annual gross receipts. The law requiring the payment of this 21-2 per cent gross receipt tax on the classes of companies named has been made a part of the general tax act for some years past, and I found in section 9 of that act. Teachers Paid for First Quarter. State School Commissioner Merritt has just sent out to the various county school commissioners of the state checks aggregating $97,000. This is for the purpose of paying the teachers the remainder of the amounts due them for the first quarter of the year. The sum of $150,000 has already been paid out for this purpose, making in all $247,000 which has been disbursed during the first quarter. March 31 Tax Return Day. Saturday, March 31, was the day upon which all returns of state taxes for the year 1906 must be made. In other words, any person in Georgia who owned a piece of real estate or any personal property on that day must return it for taxation to the state and county, no matter whether he came into possession of it just the day before or disposes of it a day or two afterward. Ownership of any real or personal property on March 31, 1906, has been made the basis of all tax returns for this year, and the owner on that day must make the returns and pay the taxes. This day was fixed in accordance with law by the state tax commission, composed of Governor Terrell, Comptroller General W. A. Wright and State Treasurer R. E. Park. The law requires these officials to name a day between January 1 and April 1 of each year, as the date for making returns of state taxes, and the action this year was taken some days ago. It was not given out for publication until Saturday night, however, as the day fixed is never made public until after it has passed. The day fixed for tax returns this year is the same day that was used for this purpose last year. Grave Danger in Overplanting. President M. L. Johnson of the Georgia Division Southern Cotton Association, has just issued one of the strongest and most forceful statements that has yet appeared, showing the grave dangers of excessive planting of cotton this season. He says in part: "Let me call your attention and your earnest thought to the following extract from the New York Commercial of March 8: "The bears dwell constantly on the claim that the south will plant more cotton this spring by millions of acres than was ever planted before. The cotton bear always operates upon the idea that there is little common sense south of the Mason and Dixon line." "Do you realize what this means?" P. EDWARD PERRY, Vice President. If it is true, then you, the planter, are the worst bear of all, for you are bearing the market by planting more cotton than the world needs. The quickest and most effective way to bear the market is to create a supply which exceeds the world's demands. The bears of Wall street are simply betting that you will bear your own crop by overplanting; that you and I will sell our cotton for less than 15 cents because this very overplanting will force down the price. If you plant too much he will win, if you hold down your acreage he will lose." State Militia in Fine Condition. Georgia's military forces, the inspection of which will be completed on April 20, are in better condition just now, and are making a finer showing than has been the case in years. The results of the inspections made both by state and United States officers have shown this, for up to the present time after the inspection of fifty-two out of about seventy commands now in the state service, not one of those inspected has been recommended for disbandment or even put on probation. In other words, these fifty-two companies have made a showing satisfactory to the inspecting officers. These inspections are now being made by Major Frank B. McCoy of the seventeenth United States infantry, representing the war department, and by Colonel W. G. Obear, inspector general of state troops, on the part of the state, and they have been thorough in every respect. Go to Arque Rawlings Case. Attorney General Hart and Solicitor General Thomas of the Southern circuit, representing the state, and Attorney Cooper of Macon for the defendants, left Atlanta Saturday for Washington, D. C., where they go to appear before the supreme court of the United States to argue the appeal in the case of J. G. Rawlings and his sons, sentenced to death in Lowndes county for the murder of the Carter children. As has been stated the appeal in this case is based on the allegation that a man charged with crime in Georgia does not get a fair trial by jury because lawyers, doctors, ministers and others are excluded from the jury boxes despite the fact that they are not by law specifically exempt from jury duty. Should the defendants get a favorable decision from the United States supreme court in this case, the most they can hope for is a new trial under somewhat changed conditions as to the juries. But such a decision This company is duly chartered under the laws of the State of Georgia, and has complied 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. Liberal Terms and Commission. would seriously interfere with The present machinery of the Georgia courts in practically every county in the state, because it would at least require a complete revision of the jury boxes if it did not necessitate the enactment of a new law on the subject. Mrs. Cobb Acquitted. The case of the state vs. Mrs. Amanda Cobb was called in court at Lavonia, Friday. Counsel for the defendant moved for a continuance upon the ground of the absence of Mrs. Mamle Human, of Atlanta, who was a witness for the defendant. The motion was overruled, and the defendant went to trial. She was charged with the killing of her husband, Professor W. H. Cobb, and went to trial charged with murder. There was an enormous crowd of people in attendance upon the trial, and a fight for every inch of ground was made. The case was given the jury Saturday afternoon, and after deliberating an hour a verdict of not guilty was reached. Mrs. Cobb was accused of killing her husband one night, while he was in the yard of the home, supposedly watching for an intruder, as, it was alleged, he suspicioned his wife of infidelity. --- WILD ANIMALS NEARLY EXTINCT Colorado the Only Preserve Left, and Game Grows Scarce There. Among the distinct purposes of the annual meeting of the National Association of Game and Fish wardens and commissioners, held at St. Paul recently, were: Elimination of politics from the department in each state; uniform laws for the protection of game and the propagation of fish, says the Denver Post. Calorado is. considered the most important state in the Union so far as the preservation of game is concerned. Big game in all Middle West and in the Northwest is becoming extinct. Some is still preserved in the mountain fastness of this state. Sportsmen, both in and out of office, regard Colorado as the battle ground for the enactment and enforcement of laws that will curb the wholesale slaughter of the distinctly American wild animals. Colorado is the only state where the elk still survives in his native haunts where there is practically a closed season. The statute permits the killing of this animal between November 1 and 5, but even this provision is suspended until 1907. At the next session of the legislature it is probable that the time for enforcement of the provision will be still further extended, so that the closed season for elk will be made permanent.

The study of the remains of extinct monsters has brought to light among other curious things, the fact that in general the animals of the past that survive in developed types were much smaller than their descendants are to day. Even some of the tremendous saurians which look nightmares in the drawings reconstructing them, the Plesifosaurus, for illustration, were much smaller than several existing species of whale.

Ray Lankester, director of the natural history departments of the British Museum, has clearly shown the relationship of some modern mammals with the peculiar animals whose remains are found in old strata, and drawn some interesting comparisons. Prof. Lankester's book, entitled "Extinct Animals," published in this country by Henry Holt & Co., is not solely devoted to the monsters of a million or so years ago, but to a vivid reconstruction of some of the creatures found in the Mesozoic and Tertiary systems. All of these were not, of course, monsters; indeed, some of the earliest mammal remains found are exceedingly small. "It is a big mistake," says Prof. Lankester, "to conclude that it is a law of nature that recent animals are all small and insignificant, as compared with their representatives of the past. That is simply not true. Recent horses are bigger than extinct ones, and much bigger than the threetoed and four-toed ancestors of horses. Recent elephants are as big as any that have existed, and much bigger than the carier elephantine ancestors. There never has been any creature of any kind—mammal, reptile, bird or fish—in any geological period we know of, so big as some of the existing whales, the sperm whale, the great porcelain and the whalebone whales. "It is true that there were enormous reptiles in the past, far larger than any living crocodiles, standing fourteen feet at the loins and measuring eighty feet from the tip of the snout to the tip of the tail; but their bodies did not weigh much more than that of a big African elephant, and were small, compared with whales." Although evolutionists have not yet been able to complete the lines of ancestors of man, the ancestry of the horse is believed to be completely accounted for. The big draught horse and the swift race horse are descendants of a little animal that lived a few million years ago that was no larger than a fox. The remains of this curious animal have been found in the Locene. It had four toes on its front feet and three on its hind feet. The modern horse, it should be remembered, walks on single toes, the others having practically disappeared. Many of the extinct monsters were herbivorous animals. This is true of some of the great Dinosaurs, which measured from fifty to eighty feet in length. There were others, however, Megalosaurus, for instance, which was not quite as large, but for all that a very ugly and ferocious beast that could successfully attack the giant Brontosaurus and lay him low. It is not definitely known that man existed in the days of the great Dinosaurs, but he is known to have been on earth Hyracotherium, ancestor of the horse, not larger than a big dog. as a contemporary of the Mammoth. This great creature, which was a branch of the elephant, was not so large as is popularly believed. From numerous remains of skeletons it is known that the Mammoth was little larger than an Indian elephant, which is smaller than his African cousin. Philadelphia Ledger. Patriarchal Family. There was a notable gathering at Westfield, Vt., last week, when eight of the nine living children of the late Mr. and Mrs. James Brown held a reunion at the home of one of the sisters. There were thirteen children in the family. Twelve grew up and nine have lived past middle age. GATES "CALLED" THE GAMBLER. Stinging Rebuke Administered by Well Known Millionaire. It will be many days before the regulars of the Waldorf-Astoria cease telling the story of the calling down John W. Gates gave to a gambler the other night. Possibly Mr. Gates was not feeling well. His name had been brought out in the malodorous Town Topics case that day and the market had not acted right in Wall Street. The gambler has an international reputation. He affects a deep interest in art and has wealth enough to be ranked among millionaires. He was sitting on one of the great lounges in the corridor with a friend from out of town when Mr. Gates hove slight, coming from Peacock alley toward the cafe. Several acquaintances stopped him to ask his opinion of the market. "Know who that stout man is?" asked the gambler of his friend, not in the way of a question, but as a basis to giving information. "No; who is he?" was the reply. "Gates—the only John W." said the gambler. "Indeed!" exclaimed the man from out of town, much impressed. A minute later Mr. Gates broke away from the party about him. As he was passing the gambler and the man from out of town the gambler said, "Hello, John." Mr. Gates stopped, glanced at the two men, kultted his brows as if perplexed, and then started off again. He had not taken two steps when the gambler said, "What's your hurry?" Mr. Gates turned and walked back. "Were you speaking to me?" he inquired. The gambler began to laugh. Turning to his friend, he said: "John must have his little joke. He is a gay dog." Then, addressing Mr. Gates, he continued, "John, let me introduce my friend, Henry Adkins." Mr. Gates ignored the introduction, but, looking the gambler in the eyesaid to him: "Sir, you have been a gambler many years, but you seem to have failed to learn one thing that every gambler ought to know. That is, never speak to a gentleman unless the gentleman speaks to you. In the social grade gamblers are classed with fallen women. If I choose to visit an establishment conducted by you that is my private affair, and you must not V. "Never speak to a gentleman unless a gentleman speaks to you." "Never speak to a gentleman unless a gentleman speaks to you." presume on it. If I elect to recognize you in any public place, all well and good. I have no desire to offend the person who is with you, but I can accept no introduction from you." With that Mr. Gates turned and resumed his trip to the cafe—New York Press. GETS A SHOVEL OFF HIS MIND. Preacher Pays Railroad for Tool Broken in Rage Twenty-two Years Ago. A check for $2.50 conscience money sent by a preacher who has a church near Utica, N. Y., was received recently by General Manager Clarke of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western railroad. With it was enclosed a letter of explanation. The minister wrote that twenty-two years ago he, having newly arrived in this country, got a place as section hand on the railroad. One day he was unjustly discharged by the foreman and in a fit of rage, smashed a shovel with which the company had provided him. It proved to be the turning point in his career, for he got other work, studied and eventually became a minister. For some time his conscience has been worried about the shovel and he decided to pay what he thought it was worth. Supt. Clarke sent him a receipt. Fish on Land. It is not to be supposed that a fish is absolutely comfortable away from its own element, but it is nevertheless true that it sometimes sees fit to live on the land for a short period. Of all land-frequenting fish, the most famous is the climbing perch of India, which not only walks out of the water, but also mounts into trees by means of sharp spines situated near its head and tail. It has a peculiar breathing apparatus, which enables it to extract oxygen from the water stored up within a small chamber near its gills, for use while on land. Growth and Life of Oyster. The oyster is not much larger than the head of a fair-sized pin at the end of a fortnight, and at three months about equal to a spit pea. At the end of four years' growth it is fit for the market. Oysters live to the age of from twelve to fifteen years. According to one naturalist, these bivalves feed on monads—the most minute form of marine life. She Understood After Husband's Lengthy Explanation. Mrs. Smithers had been reading the evening paper for half an hour when she laid it aside and said: "Smithers, what is a grafter? I have met the word in every paper I've picked up for the last three months. It doesn't exactly seem to mean a burglar or highway robber." "No, not exactly," replied Smithers. "For instance, I go to the club." "Yes." "The boys press the wine on me until I have a drop too much." "I see." "I come home and fall into bed and sleep like a log." "Well?" "You get up while I sleep and go through my pockets, and the next morning I miss $5. You say I must "You get up while I sleep and go through my pockets." have lost it at poker, but I know that you grafted it." "Do you mean to say I stole it?" Do you mean to I stole it? "Not at all, dear, and you needn't look so red over it. Graft means to find, to sequester, to gobble, to keep, to beat the policy holder any way you can, and that's why I have been hiding my wallet under the front steps every night for the last two weeks." "And I—I—?" "You'll have to graft on the cook's wages in future. Tell her you'll have to keep out a dollar a week for the yellow dog fund." HYPNOTIZED OVER THE PHONE. Remarkable Performance Vouched for by Medical Men. Some remarkable experiments in the way of hypnotizing by telephone have just been carried out in the Savoy Hotel by Mr. F. F. Abbott. The experiments were conducted in the presence of a considerable number of medical men. Mr. Abbott introduced a young Scotsman, whom he had hypnotized seven times during the previous fortnight. After passing his hand over the face of the subject, Mr. Abbott soon reduced the man to a passive state, and then, accompanied by one of the medical men, he left the building, and from a distance of two miles telephoned to the hotel in which the scence had been held. When the bell in the hotel room rang the young Scotsman went to the telephone, and, with a shudder, fell back quite unconscious. Mr. Abbott had commanded him over the telephone to go to sleep, and the subject remained in a hypnotized state until Mr. Abbott returned and awakened him—London Tit-Bits. Aproft made of Human Bones.

It is used during the Tantric rites, which are still celebrated, especially by the Red Lamas. Gyantse, from which place this apron came, is the center of Tibetan Tantric worship. Peculiar Old English Inn. At the old Chequers Inn at Slapestones, North Yorkshire (Eng.), is a peat fire in a huge grate. The fire has been kept burning continuously for 105 years. "A huge draught boardlike sign hangs outside this curious old "pub," bearing the following inscription: "Step in and taste beer for nothing to-morrow." It is one of the oldest licensed houses in North Yorkshire. Followed Old Custom. When the parliamentary writ for the recent elections arrived at Dover, Eng., the other day it was saluted with three blasts from the ancient "burghmote" horn. Why? Because such writs have had that reception at Dover for 800 years. Simple Arrangements of Draperies Has Good Effect. We all remember how we formerly drew "pictures" of very angular men and women. A circular line represented the head. Two dots made two eyes. The mouth was a line. But this was when we were very young. For very soon we gave an upward curve to the mouth to represent joy. But a downward curve represented grief. Our crude art had struck the keynote to expression—the same keynotes that gives a room expression, and without which the room—be it decorated ever so well—lacks "soul." One element which can best give character to a room lies in treatment of the top trims of doors and windows, because these are salient and frequent details looming largely on the walls. Usually these trims are plain, straight, horizontal, and the horizontal line is neutral, with an inclination toward severity. In the average home these ungainly horizontal top trims are hidden so far as the windows are concerned, by a gathered valance of draping not possible in the door. Expression in a room is not necessarily confined to the shape of the top trims of doors and windows. Height has always been associated with statelliness, and informality has been associated with the reverse—or merely moderate heights. Therefore a less costly way to simulate height and its reverse may be achieved by the use of movable plaque shelves, made at small expense, and such as we illustrate in this article. The double shelf adds to the height of the door and gives dignity. The more complicated single shelf shows effort to successfully give the apartment a cozy and informal air. The completely arranged shelf contains in it the drooping curve element characteristic of the informal curved pediment shown in our first drawing. The extreme right and left of the shelf present massed vases and shelf uprights. The center of the shelf has its vacancy accentuated by the orna- 美術 Use of the Valance with drooping curve pattern in living room doorway. mentation beneath. The variation of height in these three details gives the curved "element of joy." These elements are influenced by juxtaposition and environment. They are only details in giving a room expression. With them should be harmonious arrangement of walls, pictures, draperies and furniture. The color scheme of the room has its influence.—Interior Decoration, New York. KNEW ALL ABOUT D. TOMPKINS. Many-Sided Man Had No Secrets Hidden from Farmer. "You say you live at Stony Brook?" asked the man who looked like a lawyer of the farmer who occupied a seat with him in the smoking car. "Yes, sir." "Then you probably know Daniel Tompkins?" "As well as I know my own son." "Just what sort of a man is he, according to your ideas?" "That's according to what you want of him?" "How do you mean?" "Wall, if I was goin' down to ask Dan if he wouldn't run for the legislature if a gas company would pay all the expenses and give him $500 to boot I'd expect to find him full of Christian resignation and willing to do anything for his country, but if I was goin' down to trade bosses with him I'd expect to meet a feller who'd beat me out of my eye teeth and let me and the country and everything else go to the devil." "I see. I'm just going down to see Full of Christian Resignation. If I can't collect a judgment against him." "Oh, that's it? Then you won't find him any sort of a man at all. He'll set the dog on you and make for the woods."

Eugene Moriarty, who seemed to be a fixture in the Massachusetts legislature some years ago, was at one time on the Worcester school board. A fellow member, the Rev. D. O. Mears, more than hinted at one meeting that there were altogether too many Irish names on the list of Worcester teachers. The charge assed unchallenged at the time, but at the next meeting up rose Mr. Moriarty, with this "little gem: "Mr. President, at the last meeting of the board someone intimated that there are too many Irish names on our list of teachers. The next day I went up to the public libra- A An Astounding Tale. ry and saw our genial librarian, Mr. Green. 'Mr. Green,' I sez, 'have ye a dictionary of American names?' I have, 'sez he.

I-found no Mears in the book, but I found that Michael Moriarty was one of the bodyguard of Gen. Washington!"—Boston Herald. NOT INTENDED FOR CARVING. Second Bird Brought On for Delectation of Diners One of the most inveterate of practical jokers was Alvah Raymond, at one time postmaster at Weymouth, and for one or two terms a member of the Massachusetts legislature. He was a very prominent figure during the "P. L. L." agitation, and used to say that he was a member of the P. L. L. double L, which meant People's License Law Little Louder. While a member of the legislature he was also president of the Weymouth Agricultural society the year that Gen. Butler was running for governor, and, as one of the attractions of the annual fair of the society, Butler was invited to speak on the fair grounds. Mr. Raymond was noted for his hospitality, and after his speech at the fair, where "fat money" was coloned by a breath of the gifted orator, the distinguished guest, together with the officers of the society, were taken to his home, where a tempting repast awaited them. When all were seated at the table the host attempted to carve the turkey, but the knife slipped without making a scratch on the carcass. Again he tried, with no better result. A third attempt was a failure, and then the knife was brandished and the bird viciously stabbed and slashed, but to no avail, and with a thoroughly disgusted expression the host seized the offending biped and hurled it through the window. Consternation was pictured on the faces of the guests, and the host ap- A peared cisconsolate; but just before the affair assumed the dimensions of a tragedy the waiter appeared with another turkey, which proved as tender as the first was tough, and, as the proportions of the joke dawned upon the senses of the company, Gen. Butler led the laughter. Always Raining. There is a group of islands to the south of New Zealand called the Sisters, or Seven Sisters, which are reputed to be subjected to a practically constant rainfall. The same may be said of the islands and mainland of Tierra del Fuego, saving for the difference that the rain often takes the form of sleet and snow. On a line running round the world from four to eight or nine degrees there are patches over which rain seldom ceases to fall. This is called the "zone of constant precipitation," but at the same time there are several localities along it with very little rainfall. HER FIRST BIG FISH WOMAN TELLS OF THE JOY OF LANDING A TUNA. Long and Hard Fight, Followed by Wearied Muscles, but the Fighter of the Deep Finally Succumbed to Skill and Endurance. The champion woman fisherman, so far as present chronicles go, is Mrs Edward Nicholls Dickerson of New York. Mrs. Dickerson's is the heroine of one of the most exciting fishing experiences ever related and she tells her story naively. "I was about to speak to my husband when the boatman whispered: "Hush! Look ahead and to the right!" "My heart gave a bound. I leaned far forward to look in the direction he pointed. A long dark line cut the tumbling blue of the waves. Triangular shapes pierced sword-like the air. In the Florida waters I had seen sharks whose outline was exactly like that. The fins nearest us dipped and moved in rotary motion. That distinctive motion belonged only to one fish. I was looking upon my first tuna. He had come to the surface, as is their habit, to watch for flying fish. I drew in my line taut. I glanced back stealthily over my shoulder. There was the flying fish bait, following the invisible line, in the wake of the boat I looked back to the tuna. He was sinking slowly back into the waves. Craftiest of fish, he chose to make no sound lest he frighten his prey. I grasped my rod with all my strength. "It was none too soon. I felt the rod in my hand quiver slightly. The tuna was recoonitering and had given a tentative nibble. I summoned all my reserve force for the strain. It came as though someone twice my weight were pulling with all his strength at a rope tied about my shoulders. The fish gave a long, steady pull that would have dragged me from the boat had I not known the habits of the tuna and been prepared. I sat straight, braced my feet against the bottom of the launch and matched my strength against that of the big fish. The long, steady, desperate pull made my arms ache. I felt as I might if they were being drawn from their sockets. It was torture. "Once he was quiet and I thought the battle was over. I was reeling in rapidly and encountered no resistance, when the battle began again, more furiously than at any time before. I had reeled in until the fish was close beside the boat. Its black length showed plainly in the water a few feet away. By the rules of tunafishing the boatman may at that distance throw the iron hook. It plerced the side of the fish, which jumped out of the water, then fell lashing the waves and turning from side to side. I reeled in fast and in another moment had drawn him into the boat. He lay there gasping and I cried out in triumph: "You see. I've caught my—" "As though he realized that I was gloating over his defeat the fish thrashed about in the bottom of the boat for a second, then to our amazement writhed and plunged and with a mighty effort leaped back into the ocean. "Fortunately I had never once ceased holding the rod firmly. When the tuna slipped over the slide of the boat and made back for his deepest sea home I was gripping the rod, for my reputation as a fisherman depended upon that hold. Suddenly I noticed that I was in a dangerous predicament—I was in real danger of being captured by my prey instead of capturing him. "In getting him into the boat I had not reeled in the line, fully and now I discovered several circles of it wound about me. "After a fierce struggle I managed to clear myself from the tangled line and felt sure of victory. "The sun was rising now and by its first light we could see the big black body at the end of the line. It was within the prescribed distance. The boatman threw a second hook. It struck the tuna near the right side of the head. The pain goaded him to a final fury. He sprang from the water as the flying fish springs, high, as though he disdained his native element. "He fell, but sprang again. Each time I reeled in swiftly. The second time he sank into the water he was close beside the boat. With a final effort that set every muscle in my body a quiver I drew him into the boat. This time he lashed and beat about impotently. In this battle the tuna had lost. "My husband stopped his watch. "'Seven forty,' he said. 'The fight lasted two hours and forty minutes. Madam, the Victric, I salute you.' "To conquer a tuna is worthy the mettle of the best fisherman. My scars in my battle with the biggest tuna were most uncomfortable. So terrific had been the strain upon my arms that I could not use them for two weeks."

The Judge is admired by our people the country over and they would take delight in honoring him in any way. The coming county and city election is likely to be an open one. The colored citizens will then have an excellent opportunity of pressing their claims for recognition. Already there are several colored men who are lining up for pelf. These men must be frowned down. Colored men must only enter the campaign with the idea of benefitting the entire race. We are in need of another school building, we are in need of better police protection, we are in need of just men being on the bench of the city and recorder's court, we need more colored men on the city works, and other things that we are deprived of as citizens. In the face of these things, if any colored man attempts to barter his vote for money or make any other "dicker" inimical to the interest of the whole people, then he should be held up to public scorn. Masonic Notes. Lodges that have not received blanks for returns must write immediately to the Grand Secretary, as the annual report must be made out and with fees sent to the Grand Secretary on or before May 1st. Full reports are expected from each lodge. We will be able to tell by this report the Worshipful Masters who have been doing good work for the upbuilding of the Craft. Bro.

Mr. Editor: Please allow me to say a few words to your many readers on the above subject, which is in itself a powerful factor in the development of Christianity. "Unity is a thing undivided in itself but separate from every other thing," so says Mr. Webater, and in the Christian world, unity denotes the oneness of sentiment, affection or behavior. Such is the necessity of those who profess to be Christ's followers, and more particular with those who are of the same faith. Let the Christian church stand together. On Sunday the eleventh we had at Gaines Chapel A. M.E. church a very striking proof of Christian unity in a helpful way. This church has been burden with debts for a long time and working up a rally to pay the same we conferred with the pastors and congregation of the city of the same denomination for help which they gave. Revs. E. Lowery, R. V. Branch, J. A. Lindsay, D.D. and a good many of the members of Dr. Lindsay's congregation were present. Rev. Lindsay preached in the afternoon for us to the delight of all who heard him. At the conclusion of a spiritual feast the ministers came down and took a collection, they leading off with dollars and halves followed by a host of others until a good sum was realized. St. Philips alone gave. $12.32, for all which we are thankful. Class No. 2, of Bro C.S. Perry leader raised the highest amount and No. 7 Bro. C.S. McMillan, leader the next highest. In round number we closed the day having had a good meeting and $112 in cash with more to report. This is unity indeed. Fraternally yours, L. W. MoMILLAN. Twenty-Fifth Anniversary of Tuskegee Institute. The Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute celebrated this week the twenty fifth anniversary of its work among the Negroes of the Black Belt. The formal opening of its first day celebration began Wednesday, but the exercises really began last Sunday with the anniversary sermon by Rt. Rev. William Croswell Doane, Bishop of Albany. Extended preparation have been made to show to visitors what the school has accomplished during the twenty-five years of its existence. The school was started 25 years ago in an abandoned church and a hen house. These buildings have long since disappeared but there still remains photographs of these buildings and from these photographs and from the memory of those teachers on the ground who still remember the early days of the school replicas of these buildings have been constructed: The church has been turned, for the purpose of the celebration, into an exhibition building. In this building has been crowded a vast amount of information about the school, about the Negro people and about the larger schools which have been established or conducted by Tuskegee students. Six industrial school established in different parts of the South made exhibitions of their work. The first of these was Topeka Industrial Institute, of Topeka, Kansas. This school was started by William R. Carter, who graduated from Tuskegee in 1893. The school was not started until some years after. Among the other exhibits of the school is the work of class in tailoring: This is the only school where tailoring is done. The Vorhees Industrial School of Denmark, S.C. was founded, by Miss Lizzie E. Wright who graduated in 1893. This school has now something like 600 students. Its exhibits include examples of work in millinery, matting make, carpentry, laundering, cooking and plain sewing. Two other schools, Hawkinsville Institute, of Hawkinsville Ala., founded by W.D. Floyd, a graduate of 1887, and the Port Royal Agricultural School of Beaufort, S.C., of which Joseph Shaklin, is principal, and who graduated in 1901, and made exhibits of pretty and plain sewing respectively. The most interesting exhibit was perhaps, that of the Robert Hungerford Normal and Industrial School, at Eatonville, Fla. This school was established by Russel Calboun, who graduated in 1896. The school was started in February, 1899. Among the interesting articles exhibited a box of grape fruit, mandarins, and oranges. Also a number of examples of fine needle-work and among other things a petticoat, made very neatly and prettily, of the legs of old stockings. This school exhibited also some interesting examples of basket work, basket made of Raffia and of pine needles. The interesting thing about the work was the many devices which the school had employed to make use of the material that it found at hand, the reeds in the swamps, the long grasses and thepine needles. The largest school established by Tuskegee Graduates is that by W. J. Edwards, at Snow Hill, Ala. Mr. W. J. Edwards graduated in 1893. He started the school in 1894 in the village where he was born. The total enrollment at Snow Hill this year has been 320. The school employs 22 teachers, and teaches 13 industries. In addition to the 324 acres of land the school has 14 buildings and property valued at about $45,000. Its exhibit included examples of plain sewing, dressmaking, millinery, carpentry, printing, laundering and blacksmithing. Another interesting exhibit is that which has been set up in the Historical Room of the Carnegie Library, set apart for the preservation of relics illustrating the history and the growth of the school. Among the objects in the exhibition is a collection of photographs taken at the time of the President McKinley's visit to Tuskegee December 16, 1898; another collection taken at the time of President Roosevelt's visit, October 24, 1905; thirty-one essays written by the first students at the school; the wagon made by a student at Tuskegee; a pine knot such as a students used to burn to study by in the early days; the first desk made on the grounds and used by Mr. Washington for many years in his office: together with a number of other articles of similar character. One of the most interesting exhibits which the anniversary celebration has called out is that of John Robinson, who went out to Togo, German West Africa, six years ago to teach the natives cotton growing. He came back this year to visit his old home and attend the Tuskegee celebration. He brought back with him some very interesting examples of the manufactures of the native people. The Exhibit on Afrika, which was recently presented to the Tuskegee Historical Room by Mr. J. W. Robinson, a graduate of Tuskegee, in the class of '97 and who has been employed for six years by the German Government in the cultivation of cotton in Togo, Africa include articles by the people of Togo of Dahomey, by the Yorubas, Hausas and a coast tribe whose local name is Ewe. Many of the fabrics are very beautiful. The carvings, the work in leather, particularly that of the Hausa people show that the importation of European made goods has not yet destroyed native arts and crafts. It indicates also, that these people have much higher order of skill than usually attributed to them. The elaborate exhibit prepared to commemorate the school's anniversaries is a series of charts which has been placed upon the wall of the "little chapel." There are two series of these charts; one exhibits the salient facts in regard to the development of Tuskegee, and the other is concerned with Negro people in America, showing their progress since emancipation. One of these charts shows the occupations of the heads of households from which Tuskegee students come. It appears from this chart that the heads of families are very largely farmers who own some part of land they till. It is in fact from the more substantial classes of the Negro people in the South that Tuskegee students come. Another shows the relative illiteracy of the American Negro from 15 to 20 years of age compared with the Italian, Russian, Austrian and Hungarian recruits. The illiteracy of the Rumanians, the Russians and the Servians is, according to this chart clearly in excess of the American Negro. The Negroes' Future The Negroes Future. The eighth number in the lecture course of the Men's Sunday Club at Beach Institute, Tuesday evening last, was a lecture on, "The Negroa Future," by Prof. D. Q. Suggs, vice president of the Georgia State Industrial College. The lecture was very interesting, instructive and in spiring. Prof. Suggs spoke in his usual eloquent manner. The next lecture will be April 24. The lecturer will be Rev. W L. Cash, pastor of the First Congregational Church. The subject of the lecture will be "Starts and Stops." This is a good subject. Come and hear him. Statesboro Dots. Rev. Stripling of Statesboro filled his appointment at Brown's Chapel on last Sunday and had a very large crowd and preached a very interesting sermon. Rev. W. Hodges filled his appointment at New Hope on last Sunday and had a very large crowd. Rev. J. W. Carr, pastor of the F. A. Baptist Church in Savannah was at the First Baptist Church in Statesboro on the first Sunday, in last month. He preached a noble sermon and raised a collection of more than $100.00. The people of Statesboro will be glad to have him come again. Mr. J. T. Hodges and his sister, Miss Mary Hodges were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. James Walker and Miss Rosa Lutisha and Henrietta Walker of Ludowici on last Saturday night. On Sunday they all attended the quarterly meeting at Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church. Rev. Stripling was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. A. R. Pope on last Saturday night. After Services Sunday at Brown's Chapel a very large crowd take dinner at Mr. and Mrs. Ben. McCollough's and had an enjoyable time.

He wrote more nearly as he talked than any man I have ever known, and, as he could not talk in a dull or uninteresting way, so he could not write a dull letter. Some day, when time shall have made it not indiscreet to publish a compilation of his letters, they should be given to the world. They will prove to be not only an intellectual delight, but an inestimable contribution to the history of the time in which he lived and in which he bore so honorable and useful a part. It would be quite out of the question to publish them now, for they relate intimately to men now living and to public affairs that are still in process of evolution. Unlike many brilliant letter writers, he did not write with the obvious expectation that his letters would be published. He let himself go freely, as was his weat in familiar conversation, and the consequence was that he never wrote without saying something that the recipient of the letter would most unwillingly let die—From Joseph Bucklin Bishop's "A Friendship With John Hay" in the Century. Practical Building The new Custom House takes its place beside the rest of the modern architecture of New York as an eminently practical building. The old structure on Wall street, with its domical interior, its tremendously deep and gloomy porch, its row of twelve monolithic columns, is full of concessions to the fashions of the day in which it was erected. For that period it was a much more notable undertaking than is the present structure for this. Like many buildings in New York, it was not adapted to the narrow street on which it raises its gloomy, prison-like walls. The new building shows a better adaptation. Though skyscrapers surround it, yet they cannot shut out the light nor interfere, with the view. Mr. Gilbert has taken advantage of the site and has met the problems well. Everything points to the likelihood that the officials and the public will find the transfer from Wall street to Battery Park particularly conducive to comfort and prompt dispatch of business.—From Charles De Kay's "The New New York Custom House" in the Century. THE PULPIT. A BRILLIANT SUNDAY SERMON BY THE REV. DR. LYMAN ABBOTT. Subject: "The Spirit of Christianity." Brooklyn, N. Y. - At Plymouth Church, the Rev. Lyman Abbott, D. D., occupied his old pulpit in the absence of the present pastor, the Rev. N. D. Hills. Dr. Abbott's subject was "The Essential Spirit of Christianity." He chose for his text the passage Matthew xxx2-23: "Whosoever will be chief among you let him be your servant, even as the Son of Man-came, not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give His life a ransom for many," and said: What do we mean by Christianity? What is its essential, specific spirit? It is the spirit of the Christ who "came not to be ministered unto, but to minister." The spirit of the Christian is to be like the Christ. It is to get back of all that is injurious and all that is valuable; all the accretions that are injuring and all the additions which have been made in the growth of Christianity, doctrine, ritual and Institutional; to get back to the time of Christ Himself, and, if we can, see what Christianity meant then and there, in order that we may get at the essential spirit of it. There appeared at the beginning of the so-called Christian era a religious teacher in a province of Palestine. He was certainly for that age and for all ages a singular man. The things we care for most He seemed to be indifferent to. He did not care for pleasure, but He was not ascetic. He did not hide Himself from the world. There is no instance in which He refused an invitation to a feast. He began His ministry by creating wine to prolong the festivities at a marriage feast, and yet He did not care for what man call pleasure. He said Himself that He "had not where to lay His head." He often laid down to sleep with only the stars overhead. He lived on the simplest food. He did not care for wealth. He never called a man a fool but once, and that was the man who spent all his life in accumulating and then did not know what to do with the accumulations. He did not care for power, for when He was offered a crown He refused it. One day they gathered about Him, waved palm branches and shouted "Hosannah!" and amd all the joy and acclaim He stopped and wept as He remembered the sorrows which were to come upon Jerusalem. Ambition did not appeal to Him. He was willing to preach to 5000 or to 200 or to twenty-five or thirty, or to sit down with one poor wretched woman and talk to her by the well; and it did not make any difference. What did He care for? For service—to go about among men and make them happy. That was what He cared for. He cared for all sorts of men. He was equally willing to serve the Greek or the Jew. If He lived now, He would be as willing to serve the Jew as the Christian. He was willing to save the poor and the rich. He was not a poor man's prophet, nor a rich man's prophet. He was willing to minister to the ignorant, and just as willing to minister to the wise. He would talk with the peasant, or spend an evening with one of the great rabbis at Jerusalem. Character or past conduct did not separate men from His sympathy. It did not make any difference—how badly a man had lived or how rotten was his character. He was ready to help him. He came into Jericho one day and the people crowded round Him. It was a city of priests and corrupt politicians. The politicians were more corrupt than in this day, and that is saying a great deal. It was a city of priests and politicians, and one of these latter, who made money by squeezing the public, was a little man, who climbed into a tree, because he wanted to see this strange man pass. This strange man passed the priests and the orthodox religious people and looked up at the little man and said: "Come down; I am going to dine with you to-day." He sought out the bad man because He thought He could do something for him. He was equally ready to minister food to the hungry, healing to the sick, comfort to the afflicted, wisdom to the ignorant, inspiration to the depressed or succor to the simple and the burdened. The only question with Him was: "Is this man in trouble?" What kind of trouble? "It does not matter what kind of trouble, I want to help him." That was absolutely His only question. And yet this man saw that the deepest troubles of men are the troubles that come upon them because of their wrong doing. In His first great sermon He gave the secret of happiness when He said: "Blessed are the pure in heart" and "Blessed are the poor in spirit." etc. The secret of happiness is what you are, not what you have. So the thing He wanted to do was to change men's characters, to get them out of sin and lead them in the paths of virtue and truth and good will. He wanted to lift off the burden of their sins and make them health, normal, holy and women. To this He gave His life. He did not do this incidentally, as it chanced him; there was something more. He said: "That is what I am here for. That is what God put Me into the world for; it is the mission He has given Me." He belonged to a nation that had been to look forward for the golden age, not backward. They thought the good time was yet to come. Their prophets had told them so. They thought it was to be brought about, some said, by the nation, by a series of prophets, or by a single man, a conqueror. And this man Jesus said: "This kingdom of God is at hand. This good time is already here, and I am the one to bring it about." The first time He preached was at Nazareth and then He told them this. Then He gathered a few disciples about Him and after a year with them He asked: "Whom do men say that I am?" They said: "There are many different things said. Some say a prophet; some a great teacher; some one thing and some another." And He said: "But whom say ye that I am?" One can imagine the moment of silence and hesitation and uncertainty that followed. And then one, an impulsive one, said: "You are the Messiah." He replied: "Yes, I am; that is right." The mission of His life was to bring about the kingdom of God on the earth and He said, "The way to do it is to help every one in need. No matter what the character—to help one another, that is the way." The Jews wanted it another way. Queer people, these Jews! They thought they were the great people, which was very like the Anglo-Saxons of to-day. They thought there were no other people who were religious or civilized or who had the secret of great progress. They said the kingdom would come: Jerusalem, not to Rome, and that not the Romans, but the Jews, would be dominant. But Christ said, "No, that is a mistake. The kingdom of God is not in Jerusalem or Rome or Athens. It is in a spirit of universal helpfulness." That is the kingdom of God, and the kingdom will come when every man helps his fellow man out of every kind of need, whatever it may be. He was finally arrested and put upon oath and asked: "Are You the Messiah?" "I am." He said. He claimed to be the Messiah and He claimed to bring about the kingdom of God by diffusing the spirit of hope and faith and good will. The apostles went forth and preached —what? Not the Ten Commandments or the Sermon on the Mount, but “This is the Messiah. The Deliverer is come.” In the nature of the case He could not do it alone. If it were to be some sudden upheaval, some cataclysm, some march of armies, it could be done in a single period, but if good will, peace and universal helpfulness were to be brought about, that would take generations. That must go from kingdom to klugdom, from city to city and nation to nation. And so He called a few men to carry the message—first twelve, then seventy. Then He dled. Then, after His resurrection, He sent others. He sent them in the spirit of good will and helpfulness, to heal the sick, cleanse the leper and restore comfort to the sorrowing. To minister to everybody, rich, poor, wise, ignorant, to the Jew and the Gentile. There have something more. In all ages men have believed in some great occult power lying back of the phenomena of nature. The Jews thought there was one great God who inexorably demanded righteousness of His people, and Jesus said, "God is such a one as I am, actuated by the same spirit. In My life and teachings I am interpreting this great Infinite Power, this just, wise God, this eternal Infinite Presence." And He illustrated His meaning by the parable of the king whose subjects rebelled against him; by the parable of the lost sheep and the parable of the prodigal son. "That is the kind of Father that God is," said Jesus. There is still more in Christ's message. In all ages men have been trying to get to this unknown God. They have said: "We have done wrong, we have aroused the wrath of this God. He is right to be angry with us. How shall we appease His anger? We will offer sacrifices." It is difficult in this twentieth century to realize what worship was twenty centuries ago. Picture the temple, the altar, the white-robed priests. All around in the outer court the cooling of doves, the bleating of sheep, and within, by this altar, a butcher's shop, a shambles. Priests cutting the throats of lambs and cattle and the blood flowing in great rivers out from under the altar. Why? Because these people thought God had a right to be angry—and they were right. He had a right to be angry—and they thought He was angry—and they were half right in that—and they thought the way to peace was by sacrifice, and they were wrong in that. Jesus never offered a sacrifice, so tar as we know, or told anybody else to offer sacrifice. This world is God's reformatory and what He has done is this: His Marshal has come for you and me. Has He come in power, with greatness of riches or wonderful display on intellectual wisdom? No. Come how? In sympathy, in tenderness, in love, in purity and truth and righteousness. We can see no way to happiness save by endowing with truth and purity and righteousness. He has come to us—you and me. He says, "You can do the same thing?" You say: "I have no power." "Neither had I." "I have not wealth." "Neither had I." "I was not an ecclesiastic." "Neither was I." "Come to Me; get my spirit; live as I lived; be willing to lay down your life for others, as I was for you." I have tried this morning to get behind all definitions, all creedal statements, not because I thikl they are bad, but because I am sure the spirit of Christ transcends all definitions and creedal statements. Christianity! What is it? It is the new doctrine of God. It is the new faith in God. It is the faith of God, who is in His world as He was in Jesus Christ, comforting the sorrowing, helping the tempted, instructing the ignorant. It is the new hope, the hope of the kingdom of God that is coming. There is coming the time when men will give to their fellow men fair, honest, generous measures and will "do unto others as they would be done unto." That is righteousness. There is coming a time when there will be peace in every heart because it is at harmony with itself, and peace in the whole world between man and man, nation and nation. And it is a new hope that Christianity brings when it says: "Now, you can work for that because you are working in the spirit of the Eternal, and it is the spirit of good will, of service, of sacrifice, of laying down our lives for others as He laid down His Life for us." Christianity! What is it? It is that "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosover believeth in Him might not perish, but have everlasting life." That is the theology of Christianity: "The kingdom of God is at hand." That is the hope of Christianity. "A new commandment give I unto you: that ye love one another as I have loved you." That is the law of Christianity. Where Love Is. There God Is. Thoughts that disturb and trouble us seldom come from God. It is generally best to put them away, and throw yourself, with increased trust in Him and mistrust of self, at His feet. And never forget, amid whatever may befall you—dryness, coldness, desolation and disappointment, consciousness of many faults, and of great weakness, and want of faith—that where love is, there God is sure to be. He never yet has suffered any soul to fall wholly from Him which, amid all its frailties and falls, clings to Him in love.—H. L. Sidney Lear. God's Errands. Difficulties are God's errands, and when we are sent upon them we should esteem it a proof of God's confidence.—Beecher. POPULAR SCIENCE Airship travel seems to be already popular. W. de Fonvielle estimates that seven or eight hundred balloon voyages are now made annually, and states that the members of the French Aero Club alone made more than two hundred last year. The forms and colors of the clouds, the brightness, and the new views of the earth give a wonderful charm to sky automobiling. Julius Rosenberg considers ultro-violet rays remedial agents of the greatest value, especially for the relief of pain, says the Baltimore Sun. He employs a thirty-five-ampere arc, with mirror reflectors, and attaches importance to the use of iron-carbide electrodes. He concludes that the ultra-violet rays obtained in this way are a specific remedy in acute muscular pain, such as lumbago. Professor W. E. Ayrton points out that the common expression "buying electricity" and "consuming electric current" are misleading. No electricity is used up in lighting buildings, driving machinery, and propelling cars and trains. "Just as much electricity flows away per minute, through the return conductor, from your electrically lighted house as flows to it through the coming conductor. The pomelo, sometimes called the Chinese breadfruit, a citrus-fruit which may be described as a cross between the orange and the grapefruit, combining the good points of both, is the subject of an interesting report by Mr. Anderson, the United States Consul at Hangchow. Mr. Anderson regards it as the finest fruit grown in the Far East. He believes that it might be introduced with profit into the Southern United States. The gigantic animals of the so-called age of reptiles, whose remains are especially abundant in some of the lands bordering the Rocky Mountains, appeal so powerfully to the imagination that an exaggerated notion of their size and weight is frequently entertained. It has more than once been pointed out that, as far as paleontology shows, the earth never contained more bulky creatures than the whales of to-day. The construction of an ordinary telegraph line between Lima, on the Pacific side of the Andes in Peru, and Iquitos, near the Amazon, being all but impossible, because of the density of the forests and the animosity of the ignorant natives, the wireless method is to be employed. Already communication by wireless telegraphy exists between Lima and Puerto Rumendez, and this line will be extended to Iquitos, a distance of about 600 miles, with three intermediate stations. One on the Conductor. Colonel Sanders was a passenger on one of the Montana railroads at one time. He had the annual pass on the road, but on this occasion he had left it at home. He had traveled the same route many times before and was well known to the conductor. When that official came around for the tickets, the Colonel told him of his forgatfulness. The conductor, however, was obdurate; he must have ticket or money. The Colonel, rather than have a scene, finally pulled out a five dollar bill, which was ample to cover the expenses of his trip. It was a very ragged affair--all torn and pasted. "That's a fine looking bill to give me," groo led the conductor. Colonel Sanders was by this time thoroughly nettled. "Well," he cried in a voice that could be heard all over the car, "if you don't like it, turn it in to the company." The laugh that went up was at the expense of the conductor. - Pittsburg Dispatch. Wild Beasts of India. Year by year records are published of the destruction of human and cattle life by the wild beast and snakes of British India. Last year 21,576 human beings and 90,226 cattle were killed, and of the people, 21,827 deaths were attributed to snakes, while of the cattle, 80,000 were killed by wild beasts, panthers being charged with 40,000 and tigers with 30,000 of this total; snakes accounted for 16,000. And this is but a trifling percentage of the actual annual mortality, as it excludes the feudatory States, with their 700,000 square miles and 60,000,000 inhabitants, where no records are obtainable. Nor do the fatalities grow materially less, notwithstanding the efforts of sportsmen and rewards by Government, because the development of railways and roads, as the jungle is reclaimed for agriculture, means continuous invasion of the snake and tiger-infested territory.—Caspar Whitney, in "The Trail of the Tiger." In Outing, Cheering Him Up. "Yee-ces," Mr. Billings said, reluctantly, in reply to his friend's remark that Mrs. Joyce was "an awfully sweet little woman." "So cheerful! Always sunny; always looking on the bright side!" Billings' friend continued, enthusiastically. "There's such a thing as overdoing that 'bright side' business," said Billings. "The other night I was up there and Joyce--you know how absurd minded he is?--put the lighted end of his cigar in his mouth. He jumped three feet, and was a little noisy for a minute. Right in the midst of it all Mrs. Joyce smiled blandly, and said: "How fortunate you were, dear, to discover it at once." ACCORDING TO THE BOOK. Miles—By the way, old man, do you believe in dreams?

Besides the terrific aching there were whirling-headaches, and I became exceedingly during bad weather brought on a heavy cold, aching of the limbs and pain in the back and kidneys.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound over the diseases of womankind is not because it is a stimulant, not because it is a palliative, but simply because it is the most wonderful tonic and reconstructor ever discovered to act directly upon the generative organs, positively curing disease and restoring health and vigor. Marvelous cures are reported from all parts of the country by women who have been cured, trained nurses who have witnessed cures and physicians who have recognized the virtue of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and are fair enough to give credit where it is due. If physicians dared to be frank and open, hundreds of them would acknowledge that they constantly prescribe Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound in severe oases of female ills, as they know by experience it can be rejoined upon to effect a cure. The following letter proves it. Dr. S. C. Brigham, of 4 Brigham Park, Fitchburg, Mass., writes: "It gives me great pleasure to say that I have found Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound very efficacious, and often prescribe it in my practice for female difficulties. "My oldest daughter found it very beneficial, and daughter-in-law found it and youngest daughter is now taking it as a female weakness, and is surely gaining in health and strength. "I freely advocate it as a most reliable specific in all diseases to which women are subject, and give it honest endorsement." Women who are troubled with painful or irregular periods, bloating (on fatulency), weakness of organs, displacements, inflammation or ulceration, can be restored to perfect health and strength by taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. If advice is needed write to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. She is daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham and for twenty-five years has been advising slick women free of charge. No other living person has had the benefit of a wider experience in treating femaleills. She has guided thousands to health. Every suffering woman should ask for and follow her advice if she wants to be strong and well. POISONS NOT ALWAYS DEADLY. In the Hands of Physicians Some Make Valuable Remedies. "The venom of the rattlesnake has been known to cure locomotor ataxia and scarlet fever," said a chemist. "Homeopathic physicians often prescribe it. "You know the curara, the deadly poison that the South American Indians smear on their arrow, tips? Well curara is very helpful in hydrophobia "There is a seaweed called 'bladder-wrack.' They make of this an antifat, a marvelous antifat. By the use of this antifat I know a man who reduced his weight forty pounds in three months. "There is a deadly fungus, the fly ingaric, which unfortunate people sometimes eat in mistake for mushrooms. They make a medicine of the fly argaric, a medicine called muscarine nitrate, which, injected under the skin, causes a copious flow of tears." French actresses in weeping scenes such as "La Dame aux Camellias" sometimes use this drug. "Cocaine causes wakefulness. I once worked forty-eight hours at a stretch, thanks to cocaine. "Coca stimulates, exhilarates and removes all desire for food or drink. An Alpine guide will chew fifty or sixty grains of it before commencing a difficult ascent." Real Cause for Worry "Yes, I am concerned about myself. You see, of late I have got into the habit. If one may term it, of talking in my sleep," said the man who had been waiting to see the doctor. "Ah, yes!" said the doctor. "And you want to stop it in some way? Really, it is not a cause for worry. I should give it no attention if I were you." "But, it bothers me a great deal." "Tut, tut. You necnd't feel any alarm over talking in your sleep." "But I am afraid my wife listens in her sleep."—Stray Stories. The Guide's Reason. When the party of three, which included two college professors, entered the hunting-camp in the Maine woods, their attention was attracted to the unusual position of the stove. It was set, says a contributor to the Boston Herald, on posts about four feet high. One of the professors began immediately to comment upon the knowledge woodmen gain by observation. "Now," said he, "this man has discovered that the heat radiating from the stove strikes the roof, and the circulation is so quickened that the camp is warmed in much less time than would be required if the stove was in its regular place on the floor." The other professor was of the opinion that the stove was elevated to be above the window in order that cool and pure air could be had at night. The host, being of a practical turn, thought that the stove was set high in order that a good supply of green wood could be placed beneath it to dry. After considerable argument they called the guide and asked why the stove was in such a position. "Well," said he, "when I brought the stove up the river I lost most of the stovepipe overboard, and we had to set the stove up there as to have the pipe reach through the roof.

The largest unknown part of the Arctic at the present time is that which extends between the Parry Islands (the Archipelago north of our continent) and the New Siberia Islands, north of Asia. One knows what may be found in this wide expanse. The only lands that have been discovered are far southward toward the coast of Asia, where the Jeanneette found a few small islands, all in shallow water. The drift of that vessel was in water that is only from 180 to 250 feet deep. In other words, the Jeanneette's drift was not on the deep sea but in shallow waters whose floor is known as the continental shelf. If this unknown sea slink to depths of 3000 to 12,000 feet, such as Nansen found during the drift of the Fram to the north of Asia, there is little probability of land rising from such depths. But wherever the coastal regions of America and Asia are low and flat, as in the tundra districts, the continental shelf, with shallow waters resting on it, here and there extends a long distance to the Loth and is likely to be crowned with islands, like the Parry Islands. New and will first be sought in the south along or near the edge of the continental shelf. Two very modest expeditions will enter that region this season. One of them is already on the edge of i.. The Sun has referred to the little party headed by A. H. Harrison, which descended the Mackenzie River last summer and hopes next spring to reach Prince Patrick Island, and then to set out with a cedge over the sea ice to the west in the hope of discovering land to the north of Alaska in the area known as Beaufort Sea. The leader of the second party is an enthusiastic young Dane named Elnar Mikkelsen, who has seen Arctic service on the east coast of Greenland and in Franz Josef Land. He has secured the necessary funds from the Royal Geographical Society and a-London publisher, and intends also to enter the unknown expanse of Beaufort Sea. He expects to have four or five men in his party and to reach the west coast of Banks Land this season. Early in the spring of 1907 he plans to start westward over the sea with dog sledge and provisions for 130 days. He hopes to travel over the ice, a little north of west, more than 300 miles to the west of Banks Land and about 350 miles from the nearest coast of Alaska. If he should find land of much importance, his plan is to survey it only roughly, so as to learn its dimensions, and then return to the coast to fit out a more effective exploring party. These are small expeditions, and perhaps they will be hampered by their weakness; but if there is any more Arctic land of considerable extent to be discovered it is likely to be found in this very region.—New York Sun. Where Life is Long. Senator Tillman and a colleague were discussing the question of the salubriousness of various sections of the country. "Well," sail Mr. Tillman. "If the healthfulness of a region is indicated by the mere longevity of its inhabitants, then, I think that Asheville, N. C., must have the plum. As an illustration of how long lived the people are thereabouts, we Carolinians are fond of telling this story: "A visitor from the North asked an old gentleman where he was born and how old he was. The old clap replied: 'I was born here in Asheville and am seventy years old.' 'O' exclaimed the Yankee, 'as you appear to be as hale and hearty as a man of forty, I've no doubt you'll live to a ripe old age. How old was your father when he died?' "Father dead!" said the old, man, looking surprised. "Father isn't dead! He's upstairs putting grandfather to bed." Blaming Pneumonia on Mice. The mosquito and yellow fever, the house fly and typhoid, rats and trichinosis and other pestential combinations have added a new one to their ranks and mice and pneumonia are destined to go hand in hand if Dr. E. Paller, of New York, is as successful as his predecessors in establishing his theory. Dr. Paller declares that weather has nothing to do with pneumonia except that mice are more abundant in houses in winter and spring. He declares that the pneumonia germ is found in the mouths of nearly all healthy persons, but it is only after the susceptible mice have become inoculated with them and spread the virulent bacillus which they have developed that there is danger of pneumonia. A corner in house cats ought to prove profitable save for the fact that no one can tell at what minute pussy will be pounced upon by some disease even more terrible than pneumonia.—Milwaukee Sentinel. Sees Golden Future For Alaska. Judge James Wickersham, who presides over the federal court for the third district of Alaska, with headquarters in Fairbanks, has a sphere of operations about coquel in extent with all that part of the United States lying south of the Ohio and east of the Mississippi. It embraces all of the great interior region of Alaska, an empire within itself, which, the judge says, will be pouring a golden flood into its parent country for generations to come.

With Irritating Skin Humor-Hair Began to Fall Out-Wonderful Result From Cuticura Remedies. "About the latter part of July my whole body began to itch. I did not take much notice of it at first, but it began to get worse all the time, and then I began to get uneasy and tried all kinds of baths and other remedies that were recommended for skin humors, but I became worse all the time. My hair began to fall out and my scalp itched all the time. Especially it night, just as soon as I would get in bed and get warm, my whole body would begin to itch, and my finger nails would keep it irritated, and it was not long before I could not rest night or day. A friend asked me to try the Cuticura Remedies, and I did, and the first application helped me wonderfully. For about four weeks I would take a hot bath every night and then apply the Cuticura Ointment to my whole body, and - kept getting better, and by the time I used four boxes of Cuticura I was entirely curled and my hair stopped falling cut.

The famous case of the two Dromlos and the two Antipholus have been put in the shade by the concurrence of likenesses in a, Parisian wedding which took place last week. Twin brothers, MM. Alphonse and Gabriel Chanteau, well known artists, married twin brides, Mlls. Genevieve and Suzanne Renard, and MM. Gustave and Maurice Freunzer, the best men, were twins, cousins of the bride-grooms. Each couple is so alike that distinction is only possible by means of dress, and this has been necessary all through the courtship, as both couples constantly mistook their chosen ones. Certainly the group of three sets of twins, each set absolutely alike, who were married at Ste. Marie de Batignolles, is not likely to be rivaled for some time to come. One can learn of the identities with safety now that four of the six are safely married; but there are still the best men to be disposed of. Can Paris produce a pair of twin brides for these two Dromlos?—Black and White. A Depressing Object. The bridegroom is generally the most depressing feature of the modern wedding. If he is well off he is either bald, with a decided tendency to adipose tissue, or else of a pale sandy type, with equally pale eyes and a retreating chin. In ordinary life he wears spectacles, which at the request of the bride he discards at his wedding, with the result that he stumbles over the last step leading from the chancel to the altar alces, and is only saved from falling flat on his face by desperately clutching at the bride's bouquet.—Ladies Field. The published statements of a number of coffee importers and roasters indicate a "waspy" feeling towards us, for daring to say that coffee is harmful to a percentage of the people. A frank public discussion of the subject is quite agreeable to us and can certainly do no harm; on the contrary when all the facts on both sides of any question are spread before the people they can thereupon decide and act intelligently. Give the people plain facts and they will take care of themselves. We demand facts in this coffee discussion and propose to see that the facts are brought clearly before the people. A number of coffee importers and roasters have joined a movement to boom coffee and stop the use of Postum Food Coffee and in their newspaper statements undertake to deceive by false assertions. Their first is that coffee is not harmful. We assert that one in every three coffee users has some form of incipient or chronic disease; realize for one moment what a terrible menace to a nation of civilized people, when one kind of beverage cripples the energies and health of one-third the people who use it. We make the assertion advisedly and suggest that the reader secure his own proof by personal inquiry among coffee users. Ask your coffee drinking friends if they keep free from any sort of aches and ails. You will be startled at the percentage and will very naturally seek to place the cause of disorder on something aside from coffee, whether food, inherited tendencies or something else. Go deeper in your search for facts. If your friend admits occasional neuralgia, rheumatism, heart weakness, stomach or bowel trouble, kidney complaint, weak eyes, or approaching nervous prostration induce him or her to make the experiment of leaving off coffee for 10 days and using Postum Food Coffee, and observe the result. It will startle you and give your friend something to think of. Of course, if the person is one of the weak ones and RICH OR POOR Rich or poor alike are habi- ent entire system.

Like many other excellent persons, Aunt Emeline is not a church-member, but she is a regular attendant at the village church, which is so near her cottage as to seem under the same roof. When, at the close of a recent sermon, the minister requested all those present who had never united with the church to retire at the end of service, everybody was surprised to see Aunt Emeline rise and start down the aisle. "Aunt Emeline," the minister called, softly, "that does not apply to you! "That isn't why I'm going," Aunt Emeline responded, serenely. "I smell my dinner burning up." Oregon Trees in Austria. A. F. Miller, of Sellwood, yesterday made a shipment of 750 pounds of the seeds of fir and spruce trees to replenish the depleted forests of Austria. One thousand pounds were wanted, but these were all that were gathered. About 600 sacks of cones were plucked from young trees, from which the seeds were carefully taken. Between 200 and 300 pounds of seeds were gifted from the whole bulk that did not promise, only the very best being sent across the sea. Oregon fir and spruce are grow- ing on thousands of acres of terri- tory in Germany and Austria that had been denuded of trees. Mr. Miller has been gathering seeds of these trees for several years. He says that the fir is the most popular tree and the seeds are eagerly sought for, the demand being greater than can be supplied—Portland Oregonian. says "I can't quit" you will have discovered one of the slaves of the coffee importer. Treat such kindly, for they seem absolutely powerless to stop the gradual but sure destruction of body and health. Nature has a way of destroying a part of the people to make room for the stronger. It is the old law of "the survival of the tittest" at work, and the vletius are many. We repeat the assertion that coffee does harm many people, not all, but an army large enough to appall the investigator and searcher for facts. The next prevarication of the coffee importers and roasters is their statement that Postum Food Coffee is made of roasted peas, beans or corn, and mixed with a low grade of coffee and that it contains no nourishment. We have previously offered to wager $100,000.00 with them that their statements are absolutely false. They have not accepted our wager and they will not. We will gladly make a present of $25,000.00 to any roaster or importer of old fashioned coffee who will accept that wager. Free inspection of our factories and methods is made by thousands of people each month and the coffee importers themselves are cordially invited. Both Postum and Grape-Nuts are absolutely pure and made exactly as stated. The formula of Postum and the analysis made by one of the foremost chemists of Boston has been printed on every package for many years and is absolutely accurate. Now as to the food value of Postum. It contains the parts of the wheat berry which carry the elemental salts such as lime, iron, potash, silica, etc., etc., used by the life forces to rebuild the cellular tissue, and this is particularly true of the phosphate of potash, also found in Grape-Nuts, which combines in the human body with albumen and this combination, together with water, rebuilds the worn out gray matter in the delicate nerve centres all over the body, and throughout the brain and solar plexus. Ordinary coffee stimulates in an unnatural way, but with many people it slowly and surely destroys and does not rebuild this gray substance so vitally important to the well-belug of every human being. $49.00 The Reading Most necessary. One of the brightest essay-writers of America once put together a number of short articles addressed to boys and girls, intended to advise them in regard to talking, writing and living in general. We will not mention his name, but leave you to find it out for yourselves. In telling what books were most needed, he makes a short list of the indispensables. At the head of all he puts the Bible, which besides it religious, worth, has a claim upon every reader to enable him to understand all history and literature. In regard to this, the author mentioned quoted an eminent authority on the subject as saying that the English language of the last three centuries has revolved around the English Bible, as the. earth goes round the sun. The second book, it may surprise you to know, is a good history of America; next, a good history of England; fourth comes Shakespeare's plays; and fifth, an atlas. He calls a library made up of these five items "a bread-and-water diet."-St Nicholas. Women. Women are born, not made. There is only one kind of women—namely, women. Against the eternal feminine the daily male has no chance at all. Schopenhauer did not approve of women. Women did not approve of Schopenhauer. The chief topics of conversation in female society are husbands and servants. The distinction seems arbitrary, and doubtless is seldom drawn. Those whom the gods love (l. e. ladies of the chorus) dye young. The popular idea that women have no sense of humor is quite mistaken. They marry us.—London Punch. early educated physician, chemist and food expert. Please remember we never say ordinary coffee hurts everyone. Some people use it regularly and seem strong enough to withstand its attacks, but there is misery and disease in store for the man or woman who persists in its use when nature protests, by heart weakness, stomach and bowel troubles, kidney disease, weak eyes, or general nervous prostration. The remedy is obvious. The drug caffeine, contained in all ordinary coffee, must be discontinued absolutely or the disease will continue in spite of any medicine and will grow worse. It is easy to leave off the old fashioned coffee by adopting Postum Food Coffee, for in it one finds a pleasing hot breakfast or dinner beverage that has the deep seal brown color, changing to a rich golden brown when good cream is added. When boiled long enough (15 minutes) the flavor is not that of rank Rio coffee but very like the milder, smooth and high grade Java, but entirely lacking the drug effect of ordinary coffee. Aurora suffering from disorders set up by coffee drinking (and there is an extensive variety) can absolutely depend upon some measure of relief by quitting coffee and using Postum Food Coffee. If the disease has not become too strongly rooted, one can with good reason expect it to disappear entirely in a reasonable time after the active cause of the trouble is removed and the cellular tissue has time to naturally rebuilt with the elements furnished by Postum and good food. It's only just plain old common sense. Now, with the exact facts before the reader, he or she can decide the wise course, looking to health and the power to do things. If you have any doubt as to the cause of any ache or all you may have, remember the far reaching telegrams of a hurt nervous system travel from heel to head, and it may be well worth your while to make the experiment of leaving off coffee entirely for 10 days and using Postum in its place. You will probably gather some good solid facts, worth more than a gold mine, for health can make gold and sickness lose it. Besides there's all the fun, for it's like a continuous internal frolic to be perfectly well. There's a reason for POSTUM Postum Cereal Co., Ltd., Battle Creek, Mich. No General Order Issued by Board of Mine Workers. MANY ARE SIGNING SCALE Officers of Coal Diggers Ate Authorized to Sign Wherever Operators No general strike order was issued by the national executive board of the United Mine Workers as a result of the all-day meeting of that body in Indianapolis Saturday. The meeting was held for the purpose of completing arrangements to carry out the policy committed to the board during the national convention of the miners which closed Friday afternoon. This will be made executive by authorizing the district and subdistrict officers to sign contracts wherever the operators signify their willingness to pay the 1903 scale, which provides for an increase of 5.55 per cent in wages. It was reported unofficially at the national headquarters of the miners Saturday that operators representing the total tonnage of Iowa have signified their willingness to sign the 1903 scale. The signing of contracts by the operators in western Kentucky is accepted by the miners' officials as an indication of what may be expected elsewhere. Application was recevener at the national headquarters of the United Mine. Workers Saturday for the signing of all the miners in that territory and the authority was transmitted at once by telegraph. The 3,000 miners in this region will continue at work. Bennett Brown, representing several large mines in southern Illinois, made personal application to President Mitchell Saturday to be allowed to sign the new contract. He was told that the papers would be in readiness for him on his arrival at Springfield, and that the district officers there have power to act in the matter and order the men back to work. It was said also at national headquarters that all the mines in Indiana, south of the Baltimore and Ohio-Southwestern railroad have made application to be allowed to sign the new scale. The owners of these mines are not members of the operators' association in the central competitive field. President John Mitchell refused to discuss the outlook, and would not make any statement regarding his declaration in convention that 50 per cent of the central states mines will be signed up within ten days. He was closeted with the national executive board all day, while his secretaries prepared for his trip to New York to attend the meeting of the subcommittee of anthracite miners and operators.

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP WINS. Chicago Voters Favor Acquisition of Street Railways, But Not Operation. Under the result of the city election held in Chicago, Tuesday, in which the question of municipal ownership of the street railways was the vital issue, the city of Chicago can proceed to acquire and control the railways, but cannot operate them. At the same time, the voters while declaring that the city shall not proceed to operate the railroads, declare that as a question of public policy it would be desirable for the city to do so.

Hobnobbing of Representatives of the Powers Over Moroccan Question Results Satisfactorily. Advices from Algeciras, Spain, state that after a plenary, session lasting until 6 o'clock Saturday evening, the conference on Moroccan reforms registered a complete accord and appointed a committee to embody this accord in a formal protocol. The consummation of the work of the conference was announced in the following official communication: "The conference has terminated its labors and accord is established on all points. It has adopted a definite text of the remaining articles, concerning the state bank and customs. The final article, regulating the distribution of police at ports, was adopted from the Russian draft. By it France will police four ports, Mogador, Saff, Magazan and Rabat, and Spain two, Tetuan and Larche, France and Spain together will police Tangier and Casa Blanca, subject to an inspector of police. The Dutch, delegate announced that his government declined to appoint an officer. The conference has appointed a special committee to revise the texts of the agreement. This committee will meet at once to consider the final formalities of the protocol." Mr. White, the American delegate, is of the opinion that the result is a satisfactory one, not only because the immediate future of Morocco is secured, but because the manner of the settlement is satisfactory both to France and Germany, and removes the causes for friction and restores international relations to normal. The principles for which Germany contended, the integrity of Morocco and equal commercial and economic rights, Mr. White thought were recognized, while the special position claimed by France also was acknowledged. Others of the leading delegates confirm Mr. White's opinion and emphasizes the good effect the results should have on the European situation. They say that the agreement was in no small measure due to the efficacy of the mediation on the part of the United States through its chief representative. With reference to the effect of the conference on Morocco the delegates were reserved in their opinion. They admitted, however, that the operation of real reforms will be impossible without the good will and sanction of the sultan and his advisers, and for that reason the last act of the conference will be to authorize that the reform program as adopted be submitted to the sultan by the Italian minister to Morocco, who is dean of the diplomatic corps at Tangler, with the intimation that it is the unanimous wish of the powers that it be put into operation immediately.

Remarkable Escape of Men Thought to Be Dead. SAVED BY OWN EFFORTS Entombed in Explosion-Wrecked Plt Twenty Days, They Lived on Decomposed Horse Meat, Hay and Bark. Fourteen of the 1,200 miners who were entombed in the coal mines at Courrières, France, March 2, were taken from the mine alive and well, Friday. They had lived on hay found in one of the underground stables and the morsels of food which they took into the mine with them nearly three weeks ago. All attempts to rescue the entombed men had been abandoned more than two weeks ago. The sudden appearance of the imprisoned men caused stupefaction. A gang of salvagers had just completed their night's work when they were startled to see a group of miners, terribly haggard and exhausted and with sunken eyes appear from a remote part of pit No. 2. The strongest in the party said they had broken out of a distant gallery, where they had been entombed since the disaster. The rescued men were taken up the elevator, but were unable to see, owing to the dazzling daylight. The nine officials were deeply affected as the weeping survivors were taken to a hospital. The men were able to talk feebly, but sensibly. They all asked for news of relatives or friends and wished to go home immediately. The doctors, however, prevented them with difficulty from so doing. Later crowds besieged the mine in the hope of hearing of further escapes, necessitating the employment of a strong police force and detachments of troops to maintain order. It is said that others of the entombed miners are alive, their signals having been heard. One of the men rescued Friday, a man named Nemy, said that for the first eight days the party ate bark off the timbering of the mine. Later they found the decomposed body of a horse which they cut up and ate with hay. The survivors brought portions of the decomposed horse meat. Nemy, who was the most lucid of the miners who escaped, described their imprisonment as follows: "After the explosion I groped my way about, stumbling over bodies and seeking refuge from the gases. I found some comrades sheltered in a remote niche. We ate earth and bark for eight days, and then the provisions gave cut. "We continued to grope among the bodies, seeking for an outlet from our prison, but were forced back time and again. We found some hay which we ate, and two days afterwards we found a dead horse, which we cut up and ate with the hay and bark. "We suffered for want of water. Finally we got desperate and separated into parties and communicated with each other by shouts. Last night we felt a draft of fresh air, which finally guided us to an opening." A survivor named Martin said: "We suffered intensely from cold. The chamber above us was burning, but it did not temper the cold in the lower gallery." The doctors have forbidden the survivors to do any further talking. Vast crowds of people surround the hospital where the escaped men are being treated. The families of miners are intensely indignant. They claim that salvage operations were never undertaken on the part of the mine from which Nemy and his companions escaped, and disorders are expected. The most severe repressive measures have been taken. Crowds of women denounce the directors and foreigners, crying: "If you had given us tools we would have saved our own husbands." GEN. BLANCO GOES HENCE. Last Spanish Ruler Over Cuba Passes Away at Madrid. General Blanco, formerly governorgeneral of Cuba, died at his home in Madrid, Spain. Wednesday morning.

In the affray, a little brother about nine years old was shot in the abdomen, and he is perhaps fatally wounded. The young man claims that his father was beating his mother, and that he interfered. FLOODS WREAK HAVOC. Navigation Suspended on Two Alabama Rivers—Cattle Are Perishing and Situation is Grave. According to a Mobile dispatch, the situation in the Alabama and Tombigbee river lowlands, due to the overflow in these two rivers, was such Monday that steamboats were compelled to discontinue service, owing to the landings for 150 miles above Mobile being under water, and no food or fuel to be had in the inundated district. The flood reached disastrous proportions, equaling that of 1888, and threatens to equal that of 1571, when both rivers reached stages - never known to have been reached before or since. Cattle are starving, farmers are fast exhausting their supplies, and because of the severe change in the weather pneumonia has appeared among cattle and other live stock with disastrous effect. With full cargoes, river steamers are being held at Mobile to be rushed out as soon as the waters begin to recede. Dixie, Ala., over 100 miles above Mobile was under water several feet Monday and still rising. Since Saturday the overflow extended about 50 miles, which makes the inundated area 150 miles. The situation is gloomy, stock is dying of starvation and crops will be delayed for weeks. There is no way of estimating the extent of the damage. Only one or two losses of human life have been reported so far. The Cumberland river at Nashville reached 33 1-2 feet Monday and was still, rising. The river was too high for the gates to be opened at lock A, just below the city, and not sufficient water was going over the dam to make the passing of a boat safe. Observer Emory of the United States bureau at Memphis announced that a large volume of water is in sight, and the strength of the Arkansas levees will be severely taxed. Mr. Emory predicts that the Mississippi river at Memphis will register 27 feet in ten days. He announces all the islands and lowlands in the Memphis district not protected by levees will be inundated. The river at Memphis Monday marked 30 feet and was still rapidly rising. The danger line is 33 feet. FLORIDA COURTS SUSTAINED. Paying Debts of Defunct Bank. The supreme court of the United States Monday announced its decision in the case of Henrietta Christopher against Joseph W. Norvell, receiver of the First National Bank of Jacksonville, Fla., which went into bankruptcy in 1903. Mrs. Christopher owned $1,500 worth of the stock of the bank, and it was assessed at full par value to pay the debts of the institution. The local courts sustained the assessment, but the decision was resisted, on the ground that, being a married woman, Mrs. Christopher was absolved from payment under the constitution and laws of the state of Florida. The decision sustains the Florida courts, holding Mrs. Christopher to be personally liable. ALL PROXIES INVALIDATED. New York Governor 'Signs First of Insurance Bills.

BROWN, Watchmaker and Jeweler, 605 West Broad, Corner Charles St. THOSE WHO WANT. HALF MILLION WAITING Host of Coal Miners 'Cease Work Pending Signing of Old ,Wage Scale by the Operators. A special from Pittsburg, Pa., says: Although the gravest situation of coal mining in the United States since the production of fuel attained its enormous total occurred Monday, the fear of a complete tie-up of the industry has passed, and the situation is expected to improve rapidly with each day. Reports received Monday night from the bituminous fields show that many of the leading coal companies have signed the 1903 scale, which gives the men an advance of 5.55 percent over the wages they received during the last two years. The number of miners who received the increase is estimated at nearly 100,000. As thousands of soft coal workers laid off to celebrate the inauguration of the eight hour day, which is annually observed in the bituminous regions, the number of men who suspended work pending negotiations will not be known for a day or two. In the anthracite regions there was an almost total suspension of mining in obedience to the instructions issued by the Shamokin scale committee. The representatives of the operators and miners will meet in New York for a further discussion of the differences existing between them. No disorder of any consequence is reported from any section of the anthracite or bituminous fields. KILLED IN MOTHER'S ARMS. Stray Bullet, Fired by Boys at Target, Deals Death to Eaby.
