VOL. XXI. MORGAN OBDURATE Alabama Veteran Senator Speaks Against Rata Bill. MENACE TO STATE RIGHTS McLaurin of Mississippi Espouses Measure, But Makes Declaration in Favor of Court Review Feature. A Washington special says: Mr. McLaurin and Mr. Morgan addressed the senate Monday on the railroad rate question, the former advocating legislation and the latter opposing it. The Mississippi senator announced his intention to support an amendment providing for a court review of the decisions of the interstate commerce commission, and also stated his adherence to the Bailey amendment prohibiting the temporary suspension of the commission's orders by the inferior courts. He criticized what he characterized as an effort to inject politics into the consideration of the bill. He referred to the Long amendment first proposed by Mr. Bailey, but now spoken of as an amendment prepared by the president, which the democrats are asked to help adopt. "If this is non-political legislation, continued the senator, 'what good reason can be given for ignoring the amendment offered by the senator from Texas? It is far more explicit and better adapted to do justice and reach the just end sought to be attained. This is not a policy discovered and copyrighted or patented by the president. It is a policy proclaimed and advocated by the democratic party long since, and opposed by the president and republican party until less than a year and a half ago, when the president seems to have first seen its beneficence. "Now, assuming that the president and the faction in his party who are willing to follow him on this measure, are sincere and earnestly desire legislation, in the interest of the great mass of plain people of the country, let him and them come over and help us enact a law that will be a sure enough law. Let us give the small farmer who ships his cotton or flour or corn or meat a fair rate, and lift the hand of extortion from him. Mr. Morgan took the position that the proposed legislation was an interference with the rights of the states to control the corporations created by themselves and said that the best way to check exorbitant railroad rates was to keep the waterways in such condition as to insure competition. "If," he said, "congress would do its duty in the improvements of the water courses and place the river and harbor bill on the same footing as the postoffice bill, the railroads would cease to do evil and learn to do good, and the people could snap their fingers at them." Mr. Morgan spoke of the danger of the management of the railroad systems of the United States by fifty magnates, and predicted "a cyclone of socialism," with consequent wreckage of values as the result of their unbridled control of this great power. He believed the states could control the roads, single-handed, but if aid from the national government was necessary it could be granted by a few simple enactments without entering upon an effort to regulate rates. BUDDHA'S BIRTH CELEBRATED By Few Followers of That Faith in New York City. While Christian churches in New York, Sunday night, with sermon and song, were celebrating Palm Sunday and the entry of the Savior into Jerusalem before His crucifixion, priests of the Buddhist faith in Seventy-first street, in strange robes and weird chanting, were celebrating the birth of their savior, Gautama Buddha, 2,450 years ago. Colonel A. R. Lawton of the Central is the Purchaser. A Savannah, Ga., dispatch says: The Stillmore Air Line has been purchased by Colonel A' R. Lawton, vice president of the Central of Georgia Railway company. H. P. Smart has become president of the company, which indicates that the road will be operated as a separate corporation. The Stillmore Air Line is 54 miles long, running from Collins, Ga., on the Seaboard to Wadley on the Central. The Savannah Tribune. A QUADRUPLE TRAGEDY. Farmer McKneely Starts Out to Murder Neighbors—Kills One, Fatally Wounds Two and is Slain. About 9 o'clock Sunday evening while under the influence of whisky, A. L. McKneeley, a well-to-do farmer, who lives about four miles south of Brooks, Ga., concluded he would kill all of his neighbors with whom he had had differences, and left home, stating to his family that he would go and kill certain ones, and return and kill them, after which he would blow his own brains out. He proceeded to the residence of S. A. Putman, a wealthy and prominent farmer of Spalding county, and called him to the door, Mr. Putman, not knowing who it was, nor the mission, walked into the yard toward Mckneeley's buggy. When within a few feet of him, McKneeley fired, emptying a load of buckshot into his right arm, tearing it in pieces, necessitating amputation. After this McKneeley proceeded to the residence of Mrs. Vickers, whose daughter had been a witness against him before the grand jury on account of a previous spree, where he called for the young lady. The mother answered the call, when he opened fire on them, seriously wounding the 12-year-old son of Mrs. Vickers, who was standing near his mother. McKneeley then went to the residence of J. T. Henson, with whom he had also had previous trouble, and called for Henson. Bob Morrow, a nephew of McKneeley, who was visiting Henson's daughter, answered the call, and was shot and instantly killed. McKneeley, thinking it was Henson, proceeded into the house with the intention of killing Mrs. Henson, when Mr. Henson, who was in the rear of the house, fired on McKneeley, resulting in almost instant death. On account of the prominence of all concerned, the community is in a fever of excitement. PHYSICIAN RUNS AMUCK. Kills Wife, Fatally Wounds Dentist and Cuts His Own Threat. A Birmingham, Ala., dispatch says: W. E. Burton, physician, dead; Mrs. Laura E. Burton, wife of Burton, dead; T. T. Thaxton, dentist, Pratt City, probably fatally wounded. In brief, that is the story of an awful tragedy at 45 Woodland avenue, North Haven, Monday night between 10:30 and 11 o'clock. Burton shot and killed his wife, two bullets taking effect; shot and wounded Thaxton, and then cut his own throat with a small pocket-knife, which his wife had given him. Family rows, coupled probably with jealousy, seem to have been the cause of the crimes committed by Burton. According to statements made by Mrs. V. A. Andrews and her daughter, Miss Blanche Andrews, who live in the same house, the husband and wife have not been living together for some time. The mother and daughter further state that Dr. Thaxton was a cousin of theirs, and that he was at their house at their request, as the former was recovering from an operation. Burton's body was found in the yard a few feet from that of his wife, 30 seconds after the last shot was fired. Both were dead. The pistol was found at the foot of the steps and the knife was found under Burton's body. Supreme Court Backs Up Electric Railway Company at Cleveland. The case of the city of Cleveland vs. the Cleveland Electric Railway company was decided Monday by the supreme court of the United States in favor of the company. The case involved the right of the city to grant a charter to a new street car line in the face of the contention of the old company that its charter had not expired. This case presented a phase of the effort to force 3-cont fares on the street railways in Cleveland. The electric company claimed control of the streets of the city until 1908. PROVISIONS OF AGREEMENT Reached by Envoys of Powers Anent Moroccan Reforms. The foreign office at Paris gives out the text of the convention for Moroccan reforms, agreed upon by the conference at Algeciras, Spain. The most interesting chapter relates to the Moroccan police. It consists of twelve articles and provides for natives as rank and file, cadis as commanders. French and Spanish Instructors and a Swiss inspector general. The force will consist of 2,500 officers and men distributed at eight ports. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. APRIL 14, 1906. DIXIE IN ASCENDANT Farmers of South Plan to Hold Reins with Tight Grip. Error of Overplanting of Cotton Will Be Given Wide Berth—Growers in Better Shape Than Ever Before in Their History. Summarizing fifteen pages of letters on the cotton acreage outlook from several hundred bankers in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma and Indian Territory, the states practically embracing the cotton belt of the south, The Manufacturers' Record (Baltimore), in the current issue, says: "The replies indicate a tendency toward a slight increase in acreage for two cotton belt as a whole, an increase, however, not overcoming the decrease in 1905 from the acreage of 1904, and a tendency to be restrained by certain natural factors. The replies show steady advance in diversification of crops, a firmer purpose than ever on the part of bankers and farmers to stand together for the common good and a greater degree of comfort among the growers. "There is a general purpose apparent all along the line for the bankers and the growers to continue, even with greater zeal, the policy of cooperation which worked out so successfully during the past season. This does not, of course, imply less acreage as a whole in 1906, than in 1905, although such a reduction is promised in a number of localities; Nor does it imply that the acreage in some states will not be increased. New lands in Texas, Oklahoma, Indian Territory and Arkansas, and, indeed, in such older states as Georgia, South Carolina and Mississippi, are being opened up and are going into cotton. "In sections like the delta of Mississippi, where no fertilizer is yet used, or where it is really cheaper to buy supplies than to raise them with cotton at 10 or 12 cents, a moderate increase in acreage may be expected, and many individuals will plant from 5 to 10 per cent wider than last year. But in the main the bankers are not encouraging any great expansion, but, on the other hand, are standing by the wisdom of the past twelve months and are receiving from the farmers' hearty support. "Some farmers are still holding, not because they expect much better prices, but because they do not need the money, and those who may not be satisfied with the price at the time they gin the coming crop are assured that they will have no difficulty in obtaining accommodations from the banks and merchants who are backing up the growers in legitimate plans to make their crop a paying one. "At the same time a voice of caution is raised against any combination to get really excessive prices, that being held as censurable as are efforts of Wall street bears to depress prices. Here and there, where experience has not taught wisdom, the all-cotton idea is abroad, and some few planters really favor a permanent S-cent basis for the staple. The readiness with which the growers favor conservatism in planting this year, and their determination to work along with the banks, are due to the steadily increasing comfort of the many. The day of the old credit system is passing, and now the growers are found in various stages of prosperity, from ability to pay off old debts, and to lift mortgages to ability to lend money themselves. "Necessity to diversify, to divert some energies from cotton growing into the raising of other crops, is giving place to deliberateness in following the policy as this stronger financial condition of the rarmers permits them to enlarge upon the wisdom of not depending upon one crop. Diversification, which implies more fertilizing and greater attention given to the crops, began primarily for thousands of growers in carrying out a 'hog-and-hominy' campaign—that is, in living on one's own farm, in making supplies at home." Noted Criminal Dies on Gallows. Morris Creamans was hanged at Pearlsburg, Va., Friday, for the murder of John Kidd. Creamans had a long career of crime, having killed three men and participated in several other murders. ROOSEVELT MAKES OFFER To Support Bailey Amendment to the Rate Bill and Give Democrats a Chance to Pass the Measure. A Washington special says: President Roosevelt, in his desire to secure the majority of republican senators, has executed a flank movement upon the force of his opponents which may play havoc with them. Senator Bailey received word Saturday that the president is willing to give his support to the Bailey non-suspension amendment in return for democratic support for the administration review. This important development has precipitated an entirely new line-up. It presents the possibility of a hard and fast alliance between the majority of the democerata and those republicans whom the president can control, presumably a sufficient number to determine the final shaping of the rate bill. The president has hurled a fresh bomb into the camp of the so-called conservatives, and consternation is the result. Senator Aldrich and those associated with him in his fight for a broad view have been banking upon a division of the democratic forces, out of which they have five of six votes they need to place their review provision in the bill. Indeed, they have felt sure of a considerably larger number of democratic votes. Strictly upon the merits of the division as between a narrowly restricted review and a broad review, they have had full warrant for this assumption. But they have not counted upon the probability of the democrats being able to secure practical unity of action for party advantage. The democrats themselves have not looked upon this as a possibility until the proposition of administration support for the Bailey amendment was presented to them. Now they see it; and they are preparing to take full advantage. The president, it is said, is willing to throw full force of the administration to the support of the Bailey nonsuspension provision, and is even willing to accept Senator Bailey's review amendment in its entirety. If this is found necessary, "to beat Aldrich and those fellows," which he has declared to more than one senator to be his great desire. There is practically no difference between the Bailey review and the Roosevelt-Long review, with the exception of the non-suspension provision embodied in these words: "Provided that no rate, or charge, regulation or practice prescribed by the commission shall be set aside or suspended by any preliminary or interlocutory decree or order of the court." Up to the present time, Senator Bailey has not been able to secure united support on the democratic side for this non-suspension provision. Now, however, that it seems possible to get the support of the administration republicans for this democratic provision, and thereby secure to their party the credit of placing in the bill this greatest proposed restrictions upon the activity of the courts with relation to the rate orders of the interstate commerce commission, some of the democratic leaders expressed confidence in their ability to practically control the situation to the great advantage of their party. LODGE'S SECRETARY ARRESTED. Robert G. Proctor, private secretary of United States Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, for whose arrest on the charge of embezzlement a warrant was issued at Boston, Saturday, surrendered himself at police headquarters Sunday. Mr. Proctor was immediately released on $500 ball. The specific charge is that Proctor embezzled $225 belonging to John E. Bostgen of Quincy, in October, 1904. Bestgen alleged that he gave Proctor the money as a republican campaign contribution and that Proctor promised to aid him in obtaining a consultship. NOTED CASE NEARS' END. Arguments in the Greene-Gaynor Trial Close at Savannah. Tuesday night the arguments in the Greene-Gaynor case at Savannah were brought to a close, Samuel B. Adams concluding for the government. He spoke for three hours, and so great was the interest in the trial that the large courtroom was thronged. Upon the conclusion of Judge Adam's argument to the jury, Judge Speer announced that he would begin the delivery of his charge Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock. HORROR IN NAPLES Hundreds Crushed to Death in Collapse of Building. WAS CAUSED BY VOLCANO Roof of Structure Was Covered With Cinders from Vesuvius and Their Weight Brought on Collapse." A Terrible Scene. A frightful disaster occurred in the center of the city of Naples Tuesday morning following the eruptions of Mount Vesuvius. Two hundred people, it is estimated, were buried in the ruins of the market Mont Oliveto, when the roof collapsed under the weight of clinders from the volcano. The exact number of people within the building at the moment of the catastrophe is not known, and the list of fatalities is problematical. The work of rescue progressed during the morning hours, and before noon sixteen bodies had been removed and 175 injured persons taken from the ruins. The disaster was appalling. The court yard covers six hundred square feet and well roofed. The space within was unusually crowded with buyers and their children, the accident happening at the hour of the day when trade is most brisk. Rival displays of flowers, fruits and vegetables contended for buyers, while the market women screamed their wares and joked with their customers. Suddenly, with scarcely a tremor of warning, there was a terrific crash, and the brilliant sights disappeared in a cloud of dust, while shrieks of agony rent the air. Danger Everywhere. Terrifying news is reaching Naples from points throughout the district surrounding Ottajano. Reports indicate that an enormous area is buried beneath the ashes and cinders. The present disaster is looked upon as a repetition of the catastrophe to Pompeii and Herculaneum, except that in this instance ashes, rather than lava, covered the devastated places, and the loss of life is less. All efforts on the part of the press, representatives and authorities to obtain the exact number of those who have already fallen victims to the eruptions have so far failed. This is accounted for from the fact that buried villages are impossible of access, and further, because the people who fled when their houses began to fall have scattered throughout the country districts. The fate of many children at Ottajano is unknown. When the military carts arrived at the scene of the disaster the soldiers urged the children and aged people to get into the carts, but when vehicles had gone a few hundred feet it was found that although there were four horses harnessed to each wagon they could not pull their loads through the deep ashes, in spite of several desperate efforts to do so. This caused a panic among the children, who expected to be buried in the ashes from the volcano, and they fled in all directions. Searching parties went after them, but in spite of continuous shouting and calling no trace was found of them, and it is feared that the children have been smothered in the ashes. A great eruption of sand was observed on the east side of the main crater Tuesday morning. This is worse than ashes as it is heavier. The ejection of ashes seems to have diminished. Another part of the main cone of the volcano has fallen in, causing a great discharge of red hot stones, flame and smoke. Reports from Sicily state that ashes from Mount Vesuvius are noticeable there. A dispatch from Naples to The Tribuna (Rome) reports that 500 persons have perished in the disaster between Ottajano and San Gluseppe. Dr. Harris of Mobile, Ala. Confers With the President. Dr. Sealc Harris, professor of medicine of the University of Alabama, at Mobile, talked to the president Monday about the ravages of consumption among the negroes of the south. He expressed the fear that the negro race was likely to become extinct in this country through the ravages of disease, especially consumption. Statistics showed, he declared, that the death rate among the members of the negro race In America was greater than the birth rate. NO.28. OLD DOWIE HESITATES. Temporarily Stops Over in Chicago For Fear Trap Awalts Him in Zion City—Will Proceed Legally. John Alexander Dowie will not advance on the "hosts of Zion" as suddenly as he expected. Tuesday night after a long consultation with his legal adviser, Dowie said that it might be several days before he sees fit to enter the city which he founded. "The first apostle" arrived in Chicago Tuesday morning. An immense crowd was at the station to greet him. Before leaving the car he cracked several jokes with a number of newspaper correspondents. Escorted by loyal followers he made his way to the end of the train. He was greeted with an assortment of welcomes, ranging from the reverent "peace be with thee" of the Zionists, to the more jocular "good boy, Dowle," of the curious members of the throng. The crush was so great that the police protection proved inadequate and members of the Zion guards had to fight vigorously to get their leader to his carriage. Just before he reached the vehicle a man sprang past the bodyguard and waved a document in Dowle's face. Before a further move could be made the Zion guards threw him bodily over a nearby ralling. It was afterwards learned that the man was a deputy sheriff who was endeavoring to serve Dowle with a summons in a civil suit in which a medical expert elumed that fees to the extent of $500 had been due him for several years. The incident disturbed Dowle very little, and he was driven to the Auditorium annex, where apartments had been secured for his party. After a short rest Dowle summoned his legal advisers and then ensued a conference which lasted the greater part of the evening. Just what the proceedings will be to reinstate "the first apostle" in Zion City was not stated, but Dowle said that there would be no compromise with Voliva and that Dr. John Alexander Dowle must be the leader of Zion or nothing at all. This same determination was shown at Zion City, where the business committee of twelve appointed by Voliva, decided to send all branches of the church the following order: "Officers, members and friends of the Christian Apostolic Church are directed not to send any more money for Mexican land warrants." W. H. Piper, one of the overseers, explained: "The step was taken because of a desire to completely block Dowie's Mexican scheme, and at the same time to remove all chances for his access to funds. The Mexican contributions are the last resort, control of them being in the hands of Deacons John A. Lewis and Fielding H. Wilhite, who are Dowie's friends." Upon arriving at the Auditorium annex, Dowie made the following statement: "The fight that I will make to regain my prestige in Zlon will be a legal one. I do not think it wise for me at this time to proceed at once to Zlon, as I fear my enemies have set a trap and would do bodily injury to me. I will not state at present just what these legal steps will be because I am not certain of them myself. As soon as I have rested I will summon legal advisers and I may give the Associated Press a full statement covering my purposes and my plans. I shall, however, not turn back from Zlon and as soon as I am armed with the proper weapons, which will be the necessary legal document, I shall proceed there and take possession." OIL OCTOPUS BUYS TIMBER. Standard Secures Large Tracts of Land in North Carolina. Lumber men in North Carolina express themselves as certain that it will be only a matter of time before the Standard Oil company owns practically all the valuable timber land in the state. Several vast bodies of timber land have already been purchased by the Standard and offers have been made to other lumber companies. MORE BODIES ARE RECOVERED. Remains of Sixteen Miners Brought Out of Wrecked French Mine. Sixteen more bodies were brought up from the Courrières mine near Lens, France, Saturday. Another living horse was found, but no more living men. The indignation of the population against the mine management and engineers increases. In an affray Saturday between troops and strikers a lieutenant was seriously wounded. The cavalry dispersed the strikers. Largest Sick and Death Benefits; Smallest Premiums. L. E.

The board of trustees of the Georgia Institute of Technology at a special meeting, formally accepted the gift of $20,000 made the school for a library by Andrew Carnegie. The condition imposed by Mr. Carnegie that the school give $2,000 a year for the maintenance of the library, was accepted. * * * Co-Operate With the Spinners. President M. L. Johnson of the Georgia division., Southern Cotton Association, in a statement just issued, calls the attention of the farmers and business men of Georgia to the importance of working to secure full co-operation on the part of the spinners of the country in the matter of marketing the cotton crop. --- Cash Due from Lessees. The prison commission has rendered to the comptroller general a statement of the amounts due the state for the hire of convict labor for the quarter year ending March 31, 1906. The full amount due, on between 1,500 and 1,550 convicts, is $84,932.19, which shows that the revenue of the state from this source for the entire year is a little less than $340,000. The money will be paid into the treasury within the next ten days. New Georgia Postmasters. The president has sent the following nominations of Georgia postmasters to the senate: B. K. Turner, Nashville; J. J. Gordy, Richland; W. Fleming, Athens; Kate W. Kirkpatrick, Decatur; Albert S. J. McRae, McRae; J. O. Varbadee, Valdosta. The senate in executive session confirmed the following previous nominations: D. C. Cole, Marietta; H. B. Sutton, Ocilla; W. F. Boone, Baxley. School Officials Meet April 17. State School Commissioner W. B. Merritt states that he is looking forward to one of the most interesting and profitable conventions of the county school commissioners of Georgia ever held. The annual convention of the commissioners will be held in Rome beginning April 17, and the complete programme for the occasion has been sent out. * * * Musical Festival at Wesleyan. President Guerry and the faculty of Wesleyan Female College at Macon announce that they have settled upon April 26 and 27 as the dates for Treasurer of the State of Georgia. the spring festival of music to be given at that institution. All arrangements are now being rapidly completed, and within a few days Wesleyan will be in position to announce the first affair of this character ever witnessed in the section. New Railway Chartered. A charter has just been issued from the secretary of state's office for the St. Marys, Waycross and Nashville railway company, the capital stock being placed at $1,000,000. The proposed road is about 150 miles long, and will pass through the counties of Camden, Charlton, Pierce, Ware, Coffee and Clinch, with Nashville, the terminus, in Berrien county. Bad Blaze Visits Butler. The heart of the business part of Butler has been consumed by fire. Fifteen stores and business establishments, including two handsome and valuable brick and stone buildings recently erected. These buildings were new and the most valuable and substantial in the place. The total loss is conservatively placed at $65,000, with a total insurance of only about $12,500. Where these fifteen stores stood, there is nothing to greet the owners save the smoldering embers and ashes left in the wake of the flames and there are a number of people without employment. Too Much Leather in Guano. As a result of an analysis made by State Chemist McCandless a car of fertilizer showing from a sample the discovery of leather in the fertilizer has been shipped back to the company from which it came by order of T. G. Hudson, commissioner of agriculture of Georgia.The report of State Chemist McCandless and the action of the commissioner shows the careful inspection which is being made by inspectors of the state department in the interests of the consumers of fertilizer in Georgia. So far as could be learned this is the first time that a car of fertilizer has ever been ordered shipped out of the state and back again to the fertilizer manufacturers from which it came for this same cause. * * * May Get Seaboard Headquarters. It is regarded as altogether likely that the general offices of the Seaboard Air Line railway will be removed from Portsmouth, Va., to Atlanta. The report, current in New York and the eastern financial circles, and sent throughout the country by the Associated Press, to the effect that an appropriation for this purpose had been made at a recent meeting of the board of directors. has attained a general credence in Atlanta. It is pointed out that Atlanta is the natural geo- graphical and strategical headquarters for the system, being situated almost at its center. Rawlings Decision Now Awaited. The Rawlings case was reached in the supreme court, at Washington during the past week. After argument by Attorney Cooper, for Rawlings, Chief Justice Fuller stated that the court was in full possession of the facts and it would not be necessary for Attorney General Hart or Solicitor General Thomas to make an argument. The court will take the case under advisement, and it seems probable that an early decision may be expected, since the announcement of the court is taken as evidence that it does not regard the case one for interference on its part. Hodgson Ordered to Atlanta. Hodgson Ordered to Atlanta. According to a Washington dispatch Lieutenant Colonel Frederick G. Hodgson has been ordered to Atlanta to serve as chief quartermaster of the department of the gulf. Colonel Hodgson is a Georgian and a member of the well known Athens family of that name. He entered the military academy at West Point in 1877, served as second lieutenant and later as first lieutenant in the sixth cavalry and since 1894 has been in the quartermaster department. He was very recently promoted from major to be lieutenant colonel. * * * Executive Committee Called. M. J. Yeomans, chairman of the state democratic committee, has issued the official call for the meeting of the executive committee in Atlanta on Monday. April 30. Chairman Yeomans stated that the date was decided upon after considering suggestions made by the forty-one members of the committee as being the most convenient that could be selected. April 30 is the fifth Monday in April, and as there are no courts on that day, this will be especially favorable to all those who are connected with the department of justice in Georgia. The members of the committee will meet in the large ball room of the Kimball, which has been secured for this purpose. The call is as follows: "The state democratic executive committee is hereby called to meet at the Kimball house, Atlanta, Ga., Monday, April 30, 1906, at 11 o'clock a m., for the purpose of naming a date and prescribing the rules and regulations for the state democratic primary to be held this year for the nomination of democratic candidates for state offices, judges, solicitors general and United States senator, and for such other purposes, as may properly come before it. Every member is urged to be present." This company is duly chartered under the laws of the State of Georgia, and has compled with all requirements of the State Insurance department, therefore all policy holders are protected with all the safeguards that the strict insurance laws of this State seek to protect its citizens. Its affairs are directed and managed by Negro men of the city of Savannah of leading standing, and whose character and reputation are of such as to command the respect and confidence of all the people of that community. The same men that manage this Society are the ones that organized and are conducting the affairs of the first successful Negro Savings Bank in this state, therefore we can readily see that by connecting themselves with this Insurance company their interest will be in safe hands. By comparing our rules and benefits with other first class companies it will be seen that we offer the most liberal inducements with the largest sick, accident and death benefits to our members than any other company in this business. That we pay our claim's promptly can be testified to by the thousands of our satisfied members. Agents Wanted Everywhere Liberal Terms and Commission. Governor Terrell has received a letter from J. G. Rawlings, who is in jail at Valdosta for murder of the Carter children, in which he asks that the governor will not grant any more reprieves or interfere with the sentence of the court to the effect that he be hanged. In this letter Rawlings says that he is tired of all these requests which are being made in his behalf, and he wants the law to take its course. There is a good chance that his request may be granted, as Rawlings is now under sentence to be hanged for murder on May 4. Several officials who heard about the letter were of the opinion that Rawlings had suddenly enjoyed an awakening of conscience and wanted to die, that he might expiate the crime for which he has been sentenced, and in this way do as much as possible to save his boys, Milton, Leonard and Jesse Rawlings. Others believed that Rawlings was either crazy or offering to the effect that he was crazy. *** To Employ More Teachers. The work of the professors of secondary education in five of the southern states is turning out so well that the general education board has decided to appoint such professors in all of the states of the south. Professor Joseph S. Stewart of the University of Georgia was the first of these professors named, and his work in accrediting the high schools of the state, with the university and in bringing the common schools into closer touch with the high schools has been productive of such magnificent results that like professorships have been established at the Universities of Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee and Alabama. The work at those institutions has been so thorough and effective, that the board has now determined to provide for such professorships in the remaining southern states. The public in Georgia is familiar with the work of Professor Stewart, who has brought the educational system in Georgia to a higher state of perfection by reason of his splendid work. France to Aid Sufferers. France to Aid Sufferers. The council of ministers at Paris has decided to send a squadron of French warships to Naples to take part in the effort to succor the sufferers from the, outbreak of Mount Vesuvius.

Ward of Sa- Tem, Mass. The story of this man’s invaluable services to the Chinese government as commander-in-chief of the imperial forces which suppressed the famous Taiping rebellion after a° twenty years’ campaign, is fairly well known, but gprobably few Americans _are aware of the- almost unprecedented honors that have been paid to his memory since Major Ward fell, while leading a charge by his Ever Vietor!- ‘ous army near the city of Ningpo, Sept. 19, 1962. It is pleasant to realize that the memory of this illustrious Massachu- setts soldier {s s0 securely enshrined in the hearts of China's millions that nothing short of an entire change of faith on the part of that great’ nation can ever dim its luster. F When Major Werd fell before Ning: Po, to be later succeeded in command of ie tar by the noted “Chinese” Gordon, his body was committed to earth with honors that have never perhaps been equaled a China, save at the death of an empero-. This, however, was not sufficient to show the veneration in which, he was held by the Chinese, for in 1871, the Tate Li Hung Chang of illustrious his- tory memorialized the throne that Ward should be deified and a temple erected where he might receive secr!- fices. ‘The throne was responsive and In the tiny village of Soong Korg, situ- ated abont 199 miles up the river from Shanghai, the necessary arrange- -ments were later carried*out. ~ ,Not many American tourists and cbmparatively few of the business men of Shanghai find their way to this remarkable shrine of an Amer! can-Chinese god, but a few months ago a well-known Boston merchant made a pilgrimage thither, spent several hours at the temple. “Thither I went,” says this gentle On 2x co ee Hh Cad ME ee Loti ae RR ee Ce Lea ES ey oa irs Hy) , CAE Thalor Frederic T.

Above all and the most prominent one bas these words in Chinese characters, ‘Sacred.Seat of Major Ward! - Two others which were presented by the Taotal of Shanghai read aa follows: ‘A wonder- ful warrior; he was from beyond the -seas, whose deeds spread through a myriad mifes, and whose name {s re- tained in stone and blood.’ “Near the rear of the temple stands the grave. It is a large mound pos- sibly elght feet-in height. Around its hase aro a halt dozen tal! poplar trees, It is just such a grave as may be seen anywhere in Ching by the hundreds of “thousands. ~ “Im no other place In the world ‘would the grave of a foreigner receive such homage as does this one of the Jeader of the “Ever Victorious army.” It is a remarkable story how Ward, who without military training and while comparatively 2 mere boy should seek such a commission. He with his followers were playing for big stakes. Many hundreds of them fell on the field and received but the scant honor of an unknoya grave in an wnknogn land. 7 ‘Others, "more fortunate, as oflicers, have their names engraved’ upon the brass tablets which adorn the sides of a granite monument which stands upon the public bund in Shanghat.

What? Well, ‘I don't care it I do, old man, Perhaps Just ‘one will help me see It through.” ‘The two wandered through the neer- est glided door, and Dawson told his pathetic story. | “Say, did you ever notice the difter- ence in a woman's voice whea she talks over the telephone and when she uses the same vocal chords in ordinary conversagion? It seems they call up all the silvery notes the moment they | put their mouths to a transmitter, and what you hear at the othcr end fs a ere eadence, a rippling of purling waters, a dropping cf molten gold, a ‘sighing of soft breezes and all that sort of thing. They seem to realize that there is no vision of their lovely faces to charm you and all the fascl- nation must be concentrated in thelr voices—aud they put It there. That's why all feminine voices—except Cen- tral's—sound alike over the wire. They are all the essence of concentrated honey.

He had gone abcut two miles when he saw an old man sunning himself In the doorway of a great barn which stood near the road. “Can you direct me to Wilson's Cas- cade?” he inquired of the old man. The old man squinted his eyes and tock an exhaustive survey of the ques- tion before he spoke. “Take your first ble Peal oO 4 } right and follow it till you come to 5 fork where there's a clump 0” black- bgrry bushes,” he sald, slowly, “then strike off to the left.

Dust on the Ocean. “To talk of a ‘dusty’ ocean highway sounds absurd, but the expression 1s perfectly accurate,” states a writer. “Everyone who {s familiar with ships knows that, no matter how carefully the cecks may be washed in the morn- ing, a great quantity of dust will col- lect by nightfall, You say, ‘But the modern steamship.:burning hundreds of tons of coal a day, easily accounts for such a deposit’ True, but the records cf sailing vessels show that the latter collect more dust than a steamer. On a recent voyage of a sailing vessel—a journey which last- ed rinety-seven days—twenty-four barrels of dust were swept from the decks! The captain was a man of scientific tastes and made careful ob- servations, but could not solve the mystery. Some, no doubt, comes from the wear and tear on the sails and rigging, but that accounts for only a, small portion. To add to the mys- tery, bits of cork, wood and vegetable fiber are frequently found in this ses dust. Where does it come from?” Thimble Collecting.

Bishop Turner spoke of the importance of knowing something and _know- ing it thoroughly. His illustra- tions were pointed and impres- siye. Dr. C.T. Walker emphasized threé things: make the best possible use of opportunities; study the race history ; find ideals within the race. These points were amplified and fit- tingly illustrated. Mr. Russel emphasized the importance of doing something when students return to their homes: Find something to do and dovit well. Filling a hum- ble position is better than being aeeltappoiated sentinel on the street corners. Mr. Russel’s il- lustrations were graphic and. entertaining.

Miss Ruby Mushrush Mrs AliceBerryhill 1 "My Endorsement of Pe-ru-nai is Eased-en Its Merit:" --Ed. Crumbo E. D. CRUMBO, ex-Mayor of New Albany, Ind., writes from 511 K. Oak street: "My endorsement of Peruna is based on its merits. "If a man is sick he looks anxiously for something which will cure him and Peruna will do the work. "I know that it will cure catarrh of the head or the stomach, indigestion, headache and any weary or sick feeling. "It is bound to help anyone, if used, according to directions. "I also know dozens of men who speak in the highest terms of Peruna and have yet to hear of any one being disappointed in it." Mr. Crumbo, in a later letter, dated Aug. 25, 1904, says: Aug. 25, 1904, says: "My health is good, at present, but if I should have to take any more medicine I will fall back on Peruna." Cost of Seeing Tokio. In the schedule of prices for "theatre entertainment tickets," advertised by a tourist agency in Tokio, the following appears: Tickets for the First-Class Theatres of Tokio—Yen 1.50 each, including chair and other fees for all hours. For the Tea Ceremony and Flower Engagement—Yen 10, including cost of special tea, cut flowers, ancient food for one visitor and fees for the master or assistant of the ceremony. For Japanese Dances of Two Hours—Yen 10, including fees and usual presents for the performers and Japanese dishes for one visitor. Rather reasonable, withal, since the patron is provided with a chair, ancient food and presents for the performers. Yen are worth fifty American cents apiece.—Harper's Weekly. Women in O Appalling Increases in the Performed Each Year Avoid Them. Miss Ruby Mushrush Going through the hospitals in our large cities one is surprised to find such a large proportion of the patients lying on those snow-white beds women and girls, who are either awaiting or recovering from serious operations. Why should this be the case? Simply because they have neglected themselves. Female troubles are certainly on the increase among the women of this country—they creep upon them unawares, but every one of those patients in the hospital beds had plenty of warning in that bearing-down feeling, pain at left or right of the abdomen, nervous exhaustion, pain in the small of the back, dizziness, flatulency, displacements of the organs or irregularities. All of these symptoms are indications of an unhealthy condition of the female organs, and if not heeded the penalty has to be paid by a dangerous operation. When these symptoms manifest themselves, do not drag along until you are obliged to go to the hospital and submit to an operation—but remember that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has saved thousands of women from surgical operations. When women are troubled with irregular, suppressed or painful periods, weakness, displacement or ulceration of the organs, that bearing-down feeling, inflammation, backache, bloating (or flatulency), general debility, indigestion, and nervous prostration, or are beset with such symptoms as dizziness, nausea, excitability, irritability, nervousness, sleeplessness, melancholy, "all-gone" and "and want-to-be-lettone" feelings, they should remember there is one tried and thus remedy. A Blg Signature. Of all the signatures that come to the Capitol attached to official documents none covers more paper than that of Charlen J. Bonaparte, Secretary of the Navy. Mr. Bonaparte's signature is about fine inches long, and the greatest height of letters is over an inch. It makes the famously big signature of John Hancock attached to the Declaration of Independence look like a piggy, and the chilography of John Paul Jones that is exhibited to visitors at the Library of Congress as an example of boldness in writing of one's name appear insignificant. Mr. Bonaparte's signature is written about twice the size of the usual signature of the President, and Mr. Rocsevelt generally writes pretty large characters when he signs his name. Tao Bonaparte signature has no indication of an uncertain character. It is strongly written. It is begun on one side of the letter paper and ends pretty nearly on the other side. The usual note paper would not be wilde enough to hold it. When it eventually makes its appearance in the collection of signatures of great men that is treasured at Library of Congress it will have the distinction of being the biggest signature of all the hundreds of interesting relics of the kind that are there preserved.—Washington Star. Tired of Sight Seeing. When you are traveling do not neglect the museums; they will save you a lot of running around . . . After spending several hours in the museum in Calro, I became as tired of antiques as I once became of pictures, after spending several hours in one of the great galleries at Paris. Every picture in the gallery was a gem, but I became tired of art gems, as I today tired of seeing thousands of antiques, every one with a wonderful history. I am tired of seeing sights; I am tired of being a tourist; of having queer natives rush at me and squawk parrot history. I suppose all this will do me good in time—that it will all be useful to me in my "future reading," as the tourists say, but I am dreadfully tired of it now. And I shudder when I think that I still have the Holy Land to see. I wish I could make some arrangements to be loaded in a cannon and shot through Palestine.—Ed. Howe (at Calro) in Atchison Globe. "Washington correspondents have good jobs, have they not?" "Oh, fine jobs."

"I allus predict good weather," said the suburban sage. "Why?" "Well, if it is good I git the credit for it, an' if it ain't good the folks all allow that I done my best"—Louisville Courier-Journal. Our Hospitals The Number of Operations Year—How Women May Mrs AliceBerryhill The following letters cannot fail to bring hope to despairing women. Miss Ruby Mushrush, of East Chicago, Ind., writea: Dear Mrs. Pinkham;— "I have been a great sufferer with irregular periods and female trouble, and about three months ago the doctor, after using the X-Ray on me, said I had an abcess and would have to have an operation. My mother wanted me to try Lyda E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound as a last resort, and it not only saved me from an operation but made me entirely well." Mrs. Alice Berryhill, of $18 Boyce Street, Chattanooga, Tenn., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "Three years ago life looked dark to me. I had ulceration and inflammation of the female organs and was in a serious condition. "My health was completely broken down and the doctor told me that if I was not operated upon I would die within six months. I told him I would have no operation but would try Lyda E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. He tried to influence me against it but I sent for the medicine that same day and began to use it faithfully. Within five days I felt relief but was not entirely cured until I used it for some time. "Your medicine is certainly fine. I have induced several friends and neighbors to take it and I know more than a dozen who had female troubles and who to-day are as well and strong as I am from using your Vegetable Compound." Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once removes such troubles. Refuse to buy any other medicine, for you need the best. Mrs. Pinkham, daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham, invites all sick women to write her for advice. Her advice and medicine have restored thousands to health. Address, Lynn, Mass. The world's unique game market is in Fairbanks, Alaska. If you will take the trouble to examine the latest map of the vast and valuable Northwest territory purchased by Uncle Sam from Russia in 1867 you will find that Fairbanks is on the Chlena river, in the rich Tanana district, of which it is the thriving metropolis. It lies close to the Arctic circle, and in common with other communities in the valley of the Yukon has an average temperature of about ten degrees below zero during the months of November, December, January, February and March. At intervals during the long winter season the thermometer goes as low as 75 degrees below the zero mark, but such an excessive temperature is not absolutely necessary for the successful operation of the Fairbanks game market, although, it is true, the intensity of the Arctic cold is the chief factor in establishing and maintaining the town's claim to distinction in the item of its game market. It is almost superfluous to suggest that the market, operating as it does only during the months named, is spared the expense of artificial refrigerating apparatus. Now, here is where the novelty begins. Instead of skinning the game and curing up the carcass as in the ordinary, everyday market, the deer, the moose or the bear, as the case may be, is simply stood up on the floor of the market, which is located in one of the principal buildings of the town, and allowed to freeze solidly, or, probably it has frozen solidly within thirty minutes after it was killed. The low temperature that continuously prevails permits the keeping of the game in this shape for months at a stretch, as once the carcass is frozen there is no decay until the freezing weather is over. One may enter the market and order a bear steak cut from bruin, who has occupied a particular corner in the establishment, looking for all the world as if he were alive, for several months; or a haunch of venison from the deer that has been in another corner for an equally long period; or, perchance, a choice cut of the lordly moose or the kingly caribou that have been making lifelike poses in other sections of the market. Or, if it be a mountain sheep or a goat that the fancy craves the same opportunity is offered for selection. The animals appear just as they did in life, and the person who visits the place for the first time is apt to imagine himself in a menagerie rather than a market. The flavor and quality of the game under such conditions is said to be unexcelled. The freezing process and the length of time that is allowed to elapse between the killing and eating of the animal seem to impart to the flesh a tenderness and ripeness that are characteristic. The market attracts attention to its location by placing on the sidewalk before its door, just as the cigar man puts out his wooden Indian, a bear, a moose, a stag or some other animal from its stock in trade. Last season the same bear was used for the purpose every day for five months, and was then cut up into steaks that were pronounced to be the most delicious that had ever been eaten in a locality that is famous for its well-flavored steaks.—San Francisco Chronicle. Questions and Answers. Q. If Jane has seven children and Henrietta, has one, which has the more trouble in rearing her "little flock?" A. It depends somewhat on the kids, but if you have to bet on either, select Henrietta on general principles. The hen with one chicken almost always does the most clucking. Q. If John has a million dollars and James has but one, which will be the more desirous to get another? A. Speculate on James. Q. If some women were as good as they look, what would they be? A. No, they wouldn't; the days when angels were visible on this earth are past. Q. If one fool smokes more than is good for his health, how many fools will be required to smoke still more? A. Just one; the same fool will do it in all probability. Q. If a girl is brighter and makes a better record in schools and universities than her brother, why does she become his mental inferior as soon as they get out of school. A. I give it up. You will have to ask some of the men who claim she does.—San Francisco Call. Cock Fighting in Manila. Chicken fighting is a universal passion among the Fillipinos, and some of the cock pits here will seat 2000 spectators. The great day for cock fighting is Sunday. The fighting begins immediately after early mass and continues all day. A great number of fights are pulled off in each cock pit every Sunday, as a fight will last only a few minutes. The roosters are fitted with murderous steel gaffs, and when one of the combatants gets in a good stroke the contest is over; one of the roosters is dead. Then two fresh roosters are placed in the pit, and this continues all day. Spectators pay a small admission charge and remain as long as they choose. The Americans tried to break up cock fighting, but the natives wouldn't stand for it, and there was so much indignation that it is now tolerated. I drove through one section of the poorer quarter at about 5.30 p. m., when the men were at home, and it seemed to me that in front of every house I saw a man or boy fondling a game rooster.—Atchilson Globe.

Prof. Koch on its Origin, and its Rapid Spread in Africa. Prof. Robert Koch lectured in Berlin on the "Sleeping Sickness" which he investigated for several months in Equatorial Africa during the year 1805. Emperor William and a distinguished company were present. The malady, said the professor, had been known, on the west coast of Africa since the beginning of the last century, and it had spread to the north shore of the Victoria Nyanza and threatened German-Africa. Probably two hundred thousand persons had died from the disease. He had found whole villages on the shores of Victoria Nyanza to be empty, and the population of some groups of islands had died to the last soul. The infection was spread from human to human by the sting of a fly, the glossina palpalsis, somewhat larger than an ordinary fly. The poison affected the usual health for several days, and then the sufferer was attached with fever, became incoherent, the glands were swollen, the patient became enfeebled, and eventually was selzed with the sleep mania. Professor Koch knew of no remedy for this disease, but hoped the infection might be ended by the extermination of the insect which propagated it by slowly burning the undergrowth at its favorite home. The professor will return to Africa soon and continue his studies of tropical diseases. Challenged the Court. Charles H. Hudson was a lawyer of remarkable keenness and ability, and was known also as a student of Shakespeare, but he was not a strict and offensive teetotaller at all hours of the day. One day he appeared before Judge Ladd of the Police Court of Cambridge, in a case involving no difficult questions of law but as Mr. Hudson had little confidence in the Judge's legal requirements, he criticised his rulings very sharply, and in a manner easily understood by all present. The Judge, with a judicial look of sternness, raised himself from his chair and said: "Mr. Hudson, if you do not speak more respectfully of the decisions of this Court, I shall at once commit you for contempt of court." Hudson arose, with a great assumption of dignity, and, raising his voice and head, sald: "Your Honor says you will commit me to jail for contempt of your Court. I'll bet $5, and put the money up, that your Honor cannot make out the papers correctly in three weeks."—Boston Herald. THE RESEMBLANCE. "When Crittick was discussing my new tragedy with you," said De Ritter, "I overheard him remark it reminded him of Shakespeare.

'An Asheville man tells how right food did that which medicines had failed to accomplish: "For more than 15 years," he says, "I was afflicted with stomach trouble and intestinal indigestion, gas forming in stomach and bowels and giving me great distress. These conditions were undoubtedly due to the starchy food I ate, white bread, potatoes, etc., and didn't digest. I grew worse with time, till, 2 years ago, I had an attack which the doctor diagnosed as appendicitis. When the surgeon operated on me, however, it was found that my trouble was ulcer of the pancreas, instead of appendicitis. "Since that time I have had several such attacks, suffering death, almost. The last attack was about 3 months ago, and I endured untold agonies. "The doctor then said that I would have to eat less starchy stuff, so I began the use of Grape-Nuts food for I knew it to be pre-digested, and have continued same with most gratifying results. It has built me up wonderfully. I gained 10 pounds in the first 8 weeks that I used Grape-Nuts, my general health is better than ever before, my brain is clearer and my nerves stronger. "For breakfast and dinner, each, I take 4 teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts with cream, a small slice of dry toast, an egg soft boiled and a cup of Postum; and I make the evening meal on Grape-Nuts and cream alone—this gives me a good night's rest and I am well again." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason. Read the little book, "The Road to Wellville." in pkg. Sleep Is as Important as Good Respiration or Perfect Digestion. Sleep, as a factor in physical economies, ranks in importance with respiration and digestion. These who live normally, who throughout all ordinary exigencies maintain a natural attitude towards life, its stratus and responsibilities, may expect to enjoy a full measures of this restorative function. How much one needs is not to be determined by dogmatic rules or precedents, nor does each one require the same amount under every condition or circumstance. There must be enough daily and weekly, and of suitable character, to restore the balance of neutral energy reduced by whatsoever of fatigue follows upon daily activities; otherwise the sensorium resents this deprivation in one way or another. In those whose lives are full of repeated and emphatic demands upon them for concentration of attention, the habit of taking short naps is found to be most refreshing and invigorating. Many physicians, some lawyers and other professional men who peruse literary work, find it satisfactory to secure a brief sleep some time during the day, often in the middle of operations when an opportunity offers. When to sleep is again a matter of opinion. Early rising is common consent a salutary custom, especially when the day comes early, not otherwise. It is agreed that more sleep is required in winter than in summer. The best sleep is had during the hours of darkness. The mind is clearest in the early morning and those who can utilize this period for intellectual work are capable of turning out the best. The sleeping room should be cool, abundant air being admitted. This should not be interpted to mean that the room may safely remain intensely cold. In the modern treatment of tuberculosis fresh air is recognized to be imperatively needed all day and all night. Artificial heat can and should be supplied along with the fresh air till the temperature of the room be at or near 50 or 55 degrees Fahrenheit, for some even 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Above this no one in perfect health is likely to sleep in perfect comfort. Babies and infants need a heat of from 60 degrees Fahrenheit to 70 degrees Fahrenheit, even more at times, yet all require the fresh air, or fullest ventilation. Insanity in Alaska "The percentage of insane persons in Alaska is very high, and is considerably greater than the average in the United States," said United States Deputy Marshal W. H. McNair of Juneau. "Of course, hardships are more frequently experienced in that country than here, and by great suffering and privation persons are driven into insanity. Most of the persons who go crazy are miners and prospectors. They will oftentimes remain out in the hills by themselves months at a time, and many of them go insane because of loneliness and lack of company. "In such cases the patients almost invariably talk to themselves. This is one of the things that identifies a man who has lost his reason because of loneliness. The prospectors who are out in the hills immediately start for civilization when they find themselves unconsciously talking to themselves. They know what is coming, and know that it behooves them to heed the warning. Sometimes they reach civilization without going crazy, and then they are all right, but often the warning comes too late."—Portland Oregonian. Falls in Lova Forty Feet William Venning fell in love. It was a hard fall of forty feet. When he landed his left wrist was broken and he was bruised about the body. But he was not heartbroken. Venning is a machinist employed by the Semet-Solvay Coke Company in South Chicago. While riveting some steam pipes yesterday his mind wandered to a South Chicago malden whose name he would not disclose. "I was walking along carelessly 'way up on that high pipe line,' he said to the doctor afterward, "and wandering if the girl really did love me, when my spirits took an awful tumble, and my body, too, I forgot I was living until I woke up in the ambulance. "I guess when she hears I'm in the hospital I'll soon find out whether she loves me or not," he added. I'm thankful my right arm is still useful, so that I can write and tell her all about it." This is the only explanation or any one else can give as to how he fell from the steam pipes on which he was working.-Chicago Tribune. "Not Worth His Salt." The expression "Not worth his salt" is generally taken to mean that the person of whom it is sald is not worth the salt he eats on his food, but this, according to a local student of ancient history, is only partly correct. The expression originated among the Romans at a time when they were workers of the extensive salt mines. The laborers were paid in salt instead of money, and their pay was called their salarium. This, indeed, is the origin for the word salary as now applied to any regular pay. It came to be so applied in Rome even, when money and not salt was the commodity used to make the payment with, and sometimes it meant money to buy salt with. In those days salt was probably not so cheap and money certainly not so dear as now, but the phrase has endured, and the expression "Not worth his salt" now means simply that a man is not worth his salary.—Philladelphia Record. HOW THE TROUBLE STARTED. "Talk about human beings having descended from such as you!" exclaimed Poli; "they're much more likely to have evolved from birds. You can't speak their language, and I can." "I don't deny," responded Jocko, "that they got their long tongues from your family." It was then that the two had their celebrated monkey and parrot time.—Chicago Tribune.

Andrew Johnson, 411 West Twelfth St., Sioux Falls, S. D., says: "Doan's Kidney Pills saved my life. My doctor, from a careful analysis of the urine and a diagnosis of my case, had told me I could not live six weeks. I was struck down in the street with kidney trouble, and for a whole year could not leave the house. I lost flesh, my eyes failed me, I bloated at times, my back hurt from a careful analysis of the urine and a diagnosis of my case, had told me I could not live six weeks. I was struck down in the street with kidney trouble, and for a whole year could not leave the house. I lost flesh, my eyes failed me, I bloated at times, my back hurt and I suffered a living death. There seemed no hope until I began using Doan's Kidney Pills. Then I began to improve. The pain left gradually, the swellings subsided, I gained appetite and weight, and to make a long story short, I got well!" Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y.

At first it would break out only in winter. Then it finally came to stay. I had three good doctors to do all they could, but none of them did any good. I then used one box of Cuticura Ointment and three bottles of Cuticura Resolvent, and was completely cured. My hands were raw all over, inside and out, and the eczema was spreading all over my body and limbs. Before I had used one bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, together with the Ointment, my sores were nearly healed over, and by the time I had used the third bottle I was entirely well. I had a good appetite and was fissile than I ever was. To any one who has any skin or blood disease I would honestly advise them to get the Cuticura Remedies, and get well quicker than all the doctors in the State could cure you. Mrs. M. E. Falin, Speers Ferry, Va., May 19, 1905." Florida's Ostrich Farm: The regular plucking season is on at the ostrich farm, says the Jacksonville (Florida) Times-Union. Birds are caught, brought in from the different parts of the farm, and in view of the visitors are shorn of their plumage. At this season of the year the best feathers have reached their full growth. It requires three men to drive, corral and catch the birds, and two to hold them in their place while the feathers are secured. The general opinion that these feathers are pitted from the body is incorrect, as short stout cutters are used and all of four inches of the stem is left in the body of the bird, which afterward dries and drops from its socket. These feathers are eagerly sought for in the markets, but the Florida ostrich farm makes us its own produce. AN ELOQUENT SUNDAY SERMON BY THE REV. HOWARD MELISH. Brooklyn, N. X.-In Holy Trinity Church, Sunday morning, the rector, the Rev. Howard Mellish, preached from the text, "From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, 'Repent.'" -St. Matthew iv:17. He said: I-heard one of the ablest men in America, a man who had studied the popular mind carefully and observed it most keenly, say not long ago, that if he were young again the one message he would endeavor to bring home to his countrymen is-spirit, soul, manhood make conditions, not conditions men. Three forces are producing the opposite view. The first is materialism. Materialism as a philosophy is discredited. Twenty-five years ago it received tremendous importance through the formulation of a doctrine of evolution by natural selection. To-day it is not taught in a single university chair. But materialism, as a popular conception of the world, is more generally heeded than ever before. In it God is identified with His universe. His name is Force. His law is to be found not in the Bible, but in the latest text books on physics. Man is an animal which thinks. He is a creature of his environment. When he dies he is dead as every other beast of the field. The second is the teaching of some socialists. There is socialism and there is Christian socialism. Christian socialism endeavors to make a place in socialism for Christianity's emphasis the individual. Socialism is concerned with the economic and industrial organization of society. As interpreter by some of its expounders it is told that they can't be just or right, pure or honest or humane under competitive system. To talk about a logical standards so long as men compete to live is child's play. To Sermon on the Mount is impracticable, let a man obey its precepts and be sure to be thrown by the current of life on to the bank as wreckage. What is needed to make men is a different order of society. Such teachings, such feeling, for it has become more a feeling than a clearly articulated system, has weakened the sense of individual responsibility. I can't be pure living under tenement house conditions. I can't speak the truth in a modern pulpit or a modern newspaper, therefore I am not responsible for impurity, dishonesty, lying. The third force, laying stress on conditions instead of will, and so weakening individual conscience, is Christian Science. At first thought this may seem an utterly inconsistent statement. Does not Christian Science lay all the emphasis on the individual—his attitude of mind, his thought? Not at all. What it emphasizes is conditions of thought. By methods which rival the methods of Hypatia and the Neo-Platonists, they endeavor to work your mind into a state where nothing external to your mind has any reality. Sin does not exist. The suffering of little children in the Home of St. Giles the Cripple is a mere thought. The dishonesty of business has no reality. The tragedy of our tenement house life, with its starvation, unemployment, warfed lives, or the sinful luxuriousness of much of the "Fifth avenue" life are mere thoughts. Jesus on His cross was only acting a part. Such teaching has no social message. Christian Science has produced some beautiful characters. "Israelites in whom there is no guile," who-recognize in Jesus, as did Nathaniel, "the Son of God," but it has not and cannot produce a social reformer to go into a black slum and stay there, working and dying for the kingdom of God, because it has no message to the conscience, individual or social. Over against these three forces which weaken individual responsibility I would put the one truth of experience would put the one truth of expentance. It is an old word with a long record. The vocabulary of some nations does not know it. And those nations have dled. Wealth corrupted them, power made them arrogant, and arrogancy led to national madness and ruin. They had voices which criticized and complained, which ridiculed and despaired, but no voice with thunder and lightning in its tone to cry "Repent." But one nation developed a race of men whom we call prophets. They were men who spoke for God. The word of the Lord came to them. And they spoke that word to the conscience of their nation. They made men feel guilt, they pointed out the right way, and they inspired men to walk in it. And this is repentance. In circumstances when other nations have disappeared, as in transplantation and captivity, this nation was kept alive because of its sense of responsibility for its own deeds, past and future. That nation in the fulness of time gave birth to Christianity. Its immediate forerunner was John the Baptist. What he taught is summed up in the one word - repent. The rich man with self-sufficiency, the powerful man with his arrogancy are to be leveled down like the mountains; the poor man with his patience is to be filled up like the valleys. Start now; for the ax is laid to the root of your tree and down you will come if you don't have fruit. Share your abundance with those who have nothing; cease to squander your money on clothes and food when men are naked and children are hungry. Stop levying unjust taxes on the poor. Abide by the law and speak the truth. Take what you earn and nothing more. Jesus caught up that message and cried "Repent!" John had been preaching to classes as the prophets had preached to the nation. Christ brought the truth home to the conscience of the individual. Each one of you knows of his own self what is right. Then do it. Otherwise your religion is a sham. Your prayers are words. Your theology is speculation. Only he knows God who wills to do His will. You have no peace in your soul, no joy in your life, but you are weary and heavy laden under all this luxury and formalism. Your money is your undoing. Turn from it. Resolve to seek the right and do it. come what may. Your foes will be those of your own household. You will be as a sheep among wolves. But you will find peace and joy and will be really-free. In this way He awoke the conscience of the Mediterranean world, and, quickened individual responsibility. How are we to arouse among us responsibility and quicken our individual and social pentence. But is not that preached by every pentence. But is not that preached by every evangelist? It is, and some men are touched by it. But when they go to the evangelist as men went to John the Baptist and others went to Christ asking "What wouldst Thou have us to do?" the answer is "Stop smoking, leave off the use of alcohol, keep away from the theatre, join church, pray daily and read your Bible." This is the whole duty of man. And other men, virile men, seeing the insplid character of Christianity thus professed, don't fight it—this is the age of religious tolerance—out pass it by as good for women and children. I appeal to the conscience of every man and woman here to-day. We are followers of Jesus Christ. Now, only His first word to the world is repent. He gave many more, but they all depend upon that for their real meaning. Until we truly repent Christianity for us is a sealed book. Have we repented? We have looked over our personal lives. Here was a fault. Here was a sin. There was a mistake. We feel ashamed of this. Henceforth in our personal lives we shall be different. God forgive! And we feel forgiven. There it ends. Ends in an age where there is more wealth than in any age of the world before; when that wealth is attained by some men, not by hard labor of hands or brains, but overnight; in an age when because of this wealth there is more luxury in a city like New York than in all the world fifty years ago; where men and women live for money and sell their souls for money! What should repentance mean to-day? It is a message to those who have money. Search your consciences to see how you came by your wealth. Can you say with Zaccheus, "Lord, if I have taken anything from any man, or false accusation, I restore him four-fold?" You know and I know that many of our fortunes have been dishonestly, illegally and unjustly accumulated. By false returns to State officials, by false use of trust moneys, by false use of the powers of Government, by false business methods has till money been obtained. Repentance demands that restitution be made to the individuals or the community from whom this money was taken. Search your conscience to see what wealth is doing to you. Since you entered into the possession of money by work or by inheritance are a noob man or a truer woman? Or has money made you little-souled, mean, narrow, proud, extravagant, arrogant, supercilious? Give it away at once, every cent of it. It is better to go through life with no money than with money to go down into hell fire. Money is sending thousands of men and women to what Jesus called hell, in this city. They got their wealth in defiance of God's and our country's law; they can only keep it by controlling legislatures and creating monopolies. And what do they say? They fall back on conditions and dodge responsibility. Repent. Fail? You probably will fail. Conditions are bad in politics and business. But God bids you fail. Go forth as sheep among wolves and fail. You will save your soul alive here and hereafter. It is a message to those who have no money. Money itself is not evil, but the love of it, the lust after it. Many a man who has not a dollar has the love of it, and is giving his soul to get it. It is his envy of the rich that is sin. If such a man had money he would become like the he now envies, for his soul is like his brother's soul. Circumstances may vary, one may live in Mulberry Bend and the other on Fifth avenue, but their souls are alike. The idle rich man in his club and the Bowery loafer are one and the same breed. One has allowed himself to become the victim of wealth, the other the victim of poverty. Both are victims, not free men. Therefore, to both alike, neither as rich or poor, but as men, conquered men, comes this message: Turn ye from your poverty and your wealth and with God's help stand forth free. Strip you, make you bare of this money and know the joy of bread earned in the sweat of your brow. Find work, any honest work, and do it like a man in the strength of the Lord. When a man stops blaming conditions and takes to himself the responsibility for what he is and what he has done he has obeyed the first word of Christ—"Repent." God's School. In our Fatier's school are many benches. This life is school time. Whatever the word God writes on the top of your page—patience, courage, forgiveness, resignation—copy it over and over until He gives you another word. Never murmur. Do your best to solve your problems. If they are hard, try hard. If you are in the dark, say: "Speak, Lord, for Thy servant heathre." When you feel like complaining, listen. Be still before God. David said: "I was dumb, I opened not my mouth, because Thou didst it." That is better than morning and lamenting, but let us leap from David to Jesus, and say: "The cup which My Father hath given Me, shall I not drink it." "Father, glorify Thy name." So shall we be made perfect through suffering—Maltible D. Babcock. D. D. We Touch the Gold. Some time ago, in one of our magazines, there was an article entitled, "I Have Touched the Gold," the exclamation of a deep-sea diver who had just come up from exploring a wreck lying in the depths. The writer of the paragraph alluded to the circumstances that often thus in religious life persons "touch the gold" without seizing, possessing and using it. How true this is! We frequent the sanctuary, hear and handle the Word of Life, get a vision of the Cross, put the sacramental bread to our lips—we "touch the gold," and still leave it unrealized from year to year. For want of a little more resolute faith, we miss "the unsearchable riches" of personal fellowship with Christ. Character Is a Growth. Great occasions do not make heroes or cowards; they simply unveil them to the eyes of men.

"Dad" Howell. WILSON HOWARD. NE day in the late summer I was half dozing on my horse as I herded a bunch of cattle on a wide expanse of grass land in a Western State. I was los- NE day in the late summer I was half dozing on my horse as I herded a bunch of cattle on a wide expanse of grass land in a Western State. I was losing the forms of things about me when a quick movement of my horse recalled me to consciousness, and I saw that two horsemen were approaching. They had just appeared over a low ridge of sand hills that lay across the trail leading to the upper ranges along the river. They came toward me at the easy, shambling gait of the "cow pony," sitting their horses with the perfect ease of long practice. As they drew nearer, I noted the dignified bearing and the better quality of dress that often distinguish the ranch owner from the hired rider. But perhaps I should have paid little further heed, and let them pass as casual visitors riding for strays, had not the gray locks of one of them given him an appearance of, age which his erect carriage and vigorous face plainly belied. Naturally I kept my curiosity to myself, but I watched the man closely as he made the customary inspection of my herd, then rode on. But that evening I mentioned the strange appearance of my visitor to my employer. "Oh, that was Dad Howell," he said. "He came by here." "He is really old?" I said, drawing inference from the fact that Carter called him "Dad." "No," replied Carter. "Little past forty. The other man was his brother, and the older by several years." Then he told this story. The Howell brothers, George and Allen, came West early, and established themselves on the Arkansas River. The range on the public domain was then open and free. They had plenty of room for the grazing of their herds, and as they possessed some means, and were intelligent, progressive men, they were soon in possession of a large "bunch" of cattle. It so happened that the Texas cattle trail ran through, the region in which the Howell brothers had their ranch. Along this trail large herds of cattle were driven every year, from the breeding grounds in Texas to the maturing grounds in Montana and Dakota. With all regard for the honest and upright among them, truth demands that we say the men who composed the outfits on the trail were often the riffraff of the Lone Star State. Not infrequently, when these men were returning empty handed, they sought to enrich themselves by turning "rustler," and taking a choice lot of cattle back with them. Soon after the Howell brothers came West a gang of these rustlers, led by one Cal Smith, gathered up a bunch of cattle and started south. The stockmen gave chase. They followed the thieves for a week, and finally brought them to bay. But they failed to recover their cattle, and returned, losing three of their number. With this example still fresh before them, the ranchmen quaile, when Cal Smith repeated his raid as he returned from Montana the following year. But realizing that their business would be ruined if these raids were allowed to continue, and that it would be useless to appeal to such law as had at that time been established, a few of the braver men, with Allan Howell at their head, crossed the sand hills in pursuit. The rustlers had several days the start of their pursuers, but were encumbered with the hard of stolen cattle, and must travel slowly. The stockmen went out with their luggage packed on their relay horses. They thus avoided the impediment of camp wagon, and could move rapidly. After two days of hard riding they overtook the outlaws. But the latter were prepared to receive them. On sighting their pursuers they had rushed the cattle across the practically dry bed of the Cimarron River, and bunched them on the "flat" at the base of a bluff. Then with a guard posted to prevent them from scattering, the gang took post on the top of the hill. Dismounting, they rested their rifles across their saddles and calmly wafed. It is no discredit to the stockmen that they halted at respectful distance. To rush into an affray with so well posted an enemy would have been the height of rashness. "Well, I duno," said a big Missourian, after they had carefully surveyed the sifation. "I hate to beat out, but them cuthreats seem to have the best of us this time, sure." "It doesn't look as if a fellow would enjoy his cattle long after he got in there with them," observed another. "But, boys," said Allan Howell, "you knew when you started out what you were coming for, and this is no time to falter. Who will go on with me and get those cats?" He was answered by an ominous silence, which was broken by the big wails of Cali'mt taunting them: "If N early days in Michigan a stray dog came to my father's house, and as he appeared to be intelligent and a fine looking animal my father promptly took him in. 'Coon hunting being one of my father's favorite sports, which a young man named Bacon shared enthusiastically with him, a few evenings later they started out to try the new dog. attack the otter, but though badly wounded the otter could still prevent the dog from swimming with him to the bank, and it began to look as though he would eventually tire the dog out. After much persuasion the dog do was finally induced to swim in to his assistance. Swimming up to he fighting pair the big brute shut its eyes tightly and made a grab for the otter, when at that instant, the other dog's head coming A full moon shed a mild radiance over the forest and enabled them to note the actions of the dog, and in a very short time he had an animal of some kind up a big tree which stood alone in an opening in the woods, and as Bacon was a famous climber, up the tree he went and soon made out the dark figure among the limbs above him, but as he approached the creature it climbed higher and higher until, at the very top, it turned and greeted its pursuer with a deep warning growl. Dan stopped climbing, and in a tone of voice which trembled in spite of himself, we called out: "It is a wildcat, Mr. Belknap." "Well, cut a club and knock him off," replied my father. Cutting and trimming a lim' of the tree to make a suitable weapon. Dan slowly crawled up toward the brute, which finally took refuge in the topmost tuff of branches, and slowly and carefully raising the club above the limbs above his head, where he could have full sweep for the blow, he struck with all his might, and—never touched him. Right out into the air the cat sprang as it saw the club coming, and so powerful was its jump that the limbs of the tree were cleared entirely, and with a resounding tump it struck the ground at quite a distance from the foot of the tree, and to my father's amazement sprang to at feet and ran like a blue streak for another tree. The dog happened to be at the other side of the tree, and th. cat was enabled to get quite a start in its new race, but so swift was th. dog's pursuit that the cat was overtaken the tree was reached, when, whirling suddenly, the brute sat up and with open paws outstretched waited the onset. Knowing nothing of the dog's fighting qualities my father instantly concluded to let him entirely alone and note the result. Coming with a rush, and barking furiously, the dog dashed almost into the cat's face, but stopping just short of the cat's grasp, as its paws snapped together like the jaws of a steel trap, backed away a few steps and repeated the threatening maneuver. Again the cat's paws snapped together just in front of the dog's nose. Again and again war this repeated until the cat appeared to think that the dog was not really in earnest and omitted to slap its jaws together. Again the dog backed away, and this time the jump was in earnest. Once inside the guard of the wildcat he seized it across the chest, and that cat was dead in ten seconds, and that dog could not then have been bought for money. In long days ago, in Western Iowa, my old friend Jim Files found a stray dog at his door one morning, and as he was what Jim called "sech an ornery lookin' brute." Jim deliberated quite a while before finally accepting him. It was in the fall of the year, and as Jim went for his cows down in the bottom land below the house, the dog followed at his heels, and reaching the edge of what had been a shallow pond in the spring, a small rattlesnake coiled suddenly in front of them, in a dried up pit where a cow had some time stepped in the mud, leaving a depression five or six inches deep. Its coil was completely hidden, leaving the head and a few inches of the neck raised the theneningly above the surface, while it rattled a warning defiance against all comers. The dog sprang forward to attack, and though it was apparent that the snake had every advantage, Jim stood quietly watching, as he afterwards said, "jest to see what the little cuss would do." Approaching within a few feet the dog stopped, and cocking his small head to one side for a moment, studied the problem. Walking slowly around he now circled the snake, just beyond his reach, but so close as to engage all the reptile's attention, and as it strove to be in continuous readiness for the dog's attack, and as round and round the dog continued to walk, in a short time the snake seemed to grow dizzy, and its head began to wobble from side to side, when, quick as a flash, the dog jumped in and inserting a paw into the hole surge the rattlesnake into the air, catching him in his mouth as he came down, shook him to death without receiving a scratch. At another time Jim was the owner of two dogs. One was of medium size, active and ferocious, and a good hunter, and the other a great overgrown good natured brute, could hardly be made to lay hold of anything. Whenever he could be induced to seize hold of another animal he always shut his eyes first as he took hold and kept them tightly shut until he let go. you want these cattle, come and get them. Don't keep us waiting." Howell looked in the faces of his men and saw that while they were brave men who would not hesitate at fair odds, they would not deliberately throw away their lives. He could not blame them. The odds were insurmountable. Still, he was unwilling to turn back without accomplishing his mission. He thought for a moment, then turned to his comrades and said: "Boys, I'm going after those cattle, and I want you to be ready to fight off the rulers when I bring them back. Get off your horses and act as if you were waiting for me to have a talk with them, but be ready." To all appearances, *Allan Howell rode forward to confer with the outlaws. They evidently so explained his action, for they allowed him to advance unmolested to the foot of the bluff. Here he had gained the farther side of the herd. He was also screened from the outlaws by the brow of the hill. Looking back, he could see that his men had obeyed his orders literally, and were sitting or standing about in easy positions, but keeping conveniently near their horses. He noted, too, that the cattle were resive. Suddenly Howell wheeled his horse to the right, dashed along the base of the bluff, and tearing his yellow "slicker" from his sledbow, he haunted it with one hand, while with the other he discharged a volley of shots. And he yelled as only a cow-man can yell. Now there is nothing that will frighten a Western range steer worse than a waving slicker, and as Howell expected, pandemonium broke loose at once. With wild snorts and a great clashing of horns the herd rushed away. The guards, dashing up, only increased the stampede, and directed it upon Howell's party, who opened their line to let it pass, then closed up behind it to prevent pursuit. The cattle were recovered! From the stockmen there went up a great shout of triumph, from the bluff a rell of rage. And the solitary horseman, galloping in the wake of the fleeing herd, became the target of a vicious volley. One bullet carried away his hat; another paralyzed an arm, while a third killed the horse under him. Down he went with a great crash! To Allan Howell's horror, the animal, in falling, pinned him to the ground. Handcapped by his wounded arm, his utmost efforts could not avail to draw his leg from beneath the horse. Meanwhile, the earth about him was torn with the leaden half. More terrible still, he saw through the dust cloud that his comrades, supposing that he was coming safely on, were hurrying after the cattle. Wounded and helpless, he was being needlessly abandoned by those whose interests he had sought to serve. Then the fire ceased, and he heard the thread of a horse's hoofs. Looking up, he saw one of the desperadoes riding up, with his pistol leveled. The sickening terror of death came upon him with the blinding flash. The next moment he realized, to his surprise, that he still sived! One more bullet had entered the body of poor old Tom. Then the man, a mere boy, swung himself from the saddle. "Lie still until we get away," he said, in an undertone. With a mighty effort he pulled the dead horse from Allan's leg. Then he continued, "I'm sorry, mister, but I'll have to take your six-shooter, or the boys will come for it and make trouble," and picking up the weapon, he rode away. The next Allan Howell knew, the big Missourian was raising him in his arms, while his comrades were standing about, looking on with deep concern and sincere contrition. "Oh, he's coming out of it now, boys!" the big man said, with a ringing note of gladness in his voice. Then addressing himself to Allan, he continued, "We didn't see you go down, and thought you were safe till the dust cleared away. Then we came back to get ye, Allan. The rustlers have skedaddled, and you're out of danger. So don't worry." But he was not out of danger. They tok him home and put him to bed, and it was several months before he recovered his former health and spirits. But from that hour his hair was whitened, and to is friends he has ever been "Dad" Howell—Youth's Companion. The Ideal in Every-Day Life. Let us now go for a walk, during which we will observe the people who are pursuing their callings. Let us note their moods. We will come upon persons whom we can not see sweep, hammer or dig the earth without experiencing a desire to take from them their broom or hammer or spade, in order to show them how they ought to use it. This sort of worker is to be met with quite as often in the schools, in the church, in the studios of painting and sculpture as in the fields, the mines and the shops. Without ideals people are the same everywhere. When they teach they make us weary of learning, when they make music they cause us to hate music. They have no faith in their work. All the time they have the air of saying, "What a stupid trade I have chosen! Be sure my children shall not follow it." Those who put the ideal into their work produce altogether different effect upon us, whether they be manual or intellectual laborers. You see them at work, performing at times unpleasant duties, which you perhaps would not choose, but with so much of good will, of punctuality and fidelity, and such an appreciation of "the useful flight of daye," that they appear great to us, and an envy seizes us to imitate them.—Charles Wagner, in Harper's Bazar. Stories of the Old Days. By ORIN BELKNAF. N early days in Michigan a stray dog came to my father's house, and as he appeared to be intelligent and a fine looking animal my father promptly took Jim was hunting along the bank of the river one day wit both, dogs along, when he saw an otter swimming in the river, and promptly put a rifle ball into him, aiming at the head. The otter was hard hit, and though it struggled and swam awkwardly around, it soon became apparent that it was trying to swim down around a bend of the stream, where a pile of driftwood offered a refuge. The smaller dog was easily sent in to 一 attack the otter, but though badly wounded the otter could still prevent the dog from swimming with him to the bank, and it began to look as though he would eventually tire the dog out. After much persuasion the big do was finally induced to swim in to his assistance. Swimming up to he fighting pair the big brute shut its eyes tightly and made a grab for the otter, when at that instant, the other dog's head coming in the way, he seized him by the side of the head and turning his course started to towing the whole outfit to shore like a steam propeller. Jim said it was now only a question of the small dog's endurance of the palm. He still kept fast old of his game, but before the bank was reached the palm became unendurable, when letting go of the otter he turned to fight the big dog loose, and in the confusion the otter made good his escape. When my father was a young man he lived in Central Ohio, where a handful of settlers were, for a time, quite isolated in the big woods. The work of clearing the heavy forest was very great, and as the first small fields were fenced and planted to corn the pioneers were very much annoyed by the deprudations of black bears, which clambered over the rail fences in the night time and went for the roasting cars in a style that was exasperating. Finally a hunt was planned and the half dozen settlers gathered at the cabin of the one whose field was harried the worms, and where the bears entered the field, proceeded to set two guns, heavily loaded, and with strings attached to the triggers in such a manner as to have the thieves prove their own executioners. Getting everything arranged before nightfall all repaired to the cabin to watch in silence and darkness the result of their well laid plan. The guns were set in different places, one on each side of the little field. One was but a small, rifle while the other was a tremendous affair, one of the largest, guns ever brought into that part of the country. Both were heavily loaded and two big bullets were rammed down the throat of the larger one. As darkness set in a fine mist began falling, and in a short time the report of the little gun was heard. The younger members of the group were for rushing right out into the night, and it required all the influence of the older hunters to check them, as it was explained to them that the falling mist had shrunken the line, and that the gun was fired in this manner. Quiet was finally restored and with a lighted lantern in readiness again they waited. Finally, near midnight, the roar of the big gun filled the silent woods. Rushing out into the night the larger party carrying the lantern ran in the cornfield, while two others ran down the cowpath which circled the little field on the outside. A tremendous commotion was heard among the cornstalks in front, and the little party of excited hunters ran down the corn rows in hope, by the aid of the lighted lantern, to get a shot at the bear. The mortally wounded animal, which afterward proved to be a monster in size, ran for the fence to climb over into the woods. Outside the fence the two men could see nothing distinctly, but hearing the riot of smashing cornstalks and excited yells, the one in front sprang for the fence to climb over, at the very point where the tumult seemed culminating, and just as he was reaching for a hand hold of the top rall the bear sprang over the fence directly in front of him, and tumbling down from the top of the fence knocked the hunter flat upon his back and fell all over him, when the stricken brute crawled a short distance into the darkness and died. Yells of pain and anguish now rose from the prostrate hunter, so unexpectedly fattened by the fleeing bear. Climbing over the fence the pursuing party now brought the light of the luntern to bear on his prostrate form, and were horrified to see that the poor fellow was covered with blood and apparently mortally hurt. In a faint tone of voice he begged to be taken to the house, explaining that the ferocious brute had torn his entrails entirely out of him, and when the open bosom of his bickskin hunting shirt was opened more widely, to the horror of his friends out rolled a pile of bloody entrails. The fainting man was tenderly carried to the house, his clothes removed and body washed—and the skin wasn't broken on him. The dying bear, dragging his entrails after him, had deposited part of his bloody burden in the open bosom of the hunter's shirt, as the rails of the fence had torn them loose. The mortally wounded hunter recovered quickly from his hurt, but not for many a day from the jeering merriment of his friends.—Forest and Stream. Timothy L. Woodruff still maintains that betting is moral, if you are on the winning side; for he says those were his grandmother's principles. He explains it thus. Once when he was in New Haven, he had been betting pretty heavily on the election. His grandmother, hearing of it, thought it her duty to reprove him and said very seriously, "Don't you know it it's very wicked to bet, Tim? How dreadful to lose all that money!" But he says her tone changed completely when he told her he won it all instead, and she exclaimed jubilantly, "Oh, you won, Tim, you won!"—M. B. Miller, in Lippincott's. With an 1f.

Express Train Crashes Into Wagon Containing Three Generations of a Family on Way to Reunion. Seven persons representing three generations of one family were killed Saturday on the Philadelphia and Reading railroad at Hass Crossing, one miles south of Sunbury, Pa. The dead; G. H. Neldig, aged 63 years; Clarence Neldig, aged 41; Silas Neldig, aged 36, son of the first named; Mrs. Clarence Neldig, aged 30, and their three children, Mary, aged 4 years; Blanche, aged 6, and Gilbert, aged 2. All of the victims were instantly killed with the exception of Blancne, who died later at a hospital. There was to have been a family reunion at the home of G. H. Neidig, at Augustaville, a small village near by, and the latter had driven to the home of his sons to convey the party to Augustaville. At Hass Crossing the Pennsylvania railroad and the Philadelphia and Reading railroad run parallel a short distance apart. A curve renders one road invisible from the other and to this fact the accident was due. The wagon containing the seven persons had crossed the Pennsylvania tracks and had just reached the Reading tracks when an express train, northbound from Shamokin, ran into the vehicle. The occupants of the wagon were thrown or dragged man-feet by the locomotive and their bodies were terribly mangled. MORE GUNS THAN MUSIC.
