Savannah Tribune

The Savannah Tribune. SOME ONE HAS LIED Boldly Asserts Bailey of Texas on Senate Floor. HE HITS AT ROOSEVELT Lively_Racket Precipitated by Newspaper Correspondents - Tillman Corrcborates Assertion of the Texas Senator. The controversy over the rate bill negotiations came to a sensational climax Wednesday when Senator Bailey of Texas rose to a question of personal privilege to make reply to a charge made in The Chicago Tribune of Tuesday by a Washington correspondent to the effect that Mr. Bailey had been responsible for the failure of the agreement between the president and Senator Tillman. Former Senator Chandler was given as authority for the statement that Tillman had been suspicious of Bailey, who, it was also stated, was really opposed to rate legislation and was also in constant conference with Senator Aldrich, with the purpose of defeating the rate bill. After this statement had been read Mr. Bailey took the floor and said deliberately: "I have taken no part in the question of veracity between the president and Mr. Chandler, and I had not even given any public expression on the question of good faith because I knew nothing about either question. I have never conferred with the president directly, nor with Mr. Chandler. It was, therefore, a matter of great surprise to me when a senator called my attention to the extract which I have had read. "The correspondence, I understand, was sent by a correspondent who is very close to the white house and is presumed to speak with some degree of authority concerning transactions there. "I do not know as to the truth of that, and I do not charge that his statement was made with authority, but I do denounce the publication as an unqualified, deliberate and malicious lie. I denounce that correspondent as an unqualified, deliberate and malicious liar. I denounce the man who in-red the statement as an unqualified, deliberate and malicious liar, whoever he may be, and however high the office he holds." The statement was made in a deliberate monotone, but it was none the less impressive. It was received with absolute silence, and the silence continued for a few moments, until indeed Senator Tillman had taken the floor, also on a question of personal privilege, because the article quoted had stated that he had been suspicious of Mr. Bailey. He had read the parts of the correspondent's letter which Mr. Bailey had omitted and then proceeded with his statement, saying: "This correspondent is undoubtedly a muck-rake. Into whose house the handle goes, or what hand holds it, I will not attempt to say." He said he counted eight distinct falsehoods in the article, but he desired to address himself first to a denial that he had ever been suspicious of Senator Bailey. He declared his great esteem and admiration for the Texas senator, and that their cordial relations had always existed. Articles of this character were being sent broadcast over the country, said Mr. Tillman, at the instance of the republican machine to "befuddle" the situation. When Senator Tillman concluded Senator Bailey against took the floor and said that his attention had been called to another article printed in the New York Tribune. He said it was of the same character as that printed by the Chicago Tribune, and that evidently they had been timed to bring them both to Washington at the same time. Pointing to the -ess gallery, he said: "I intend to put in the record upon the statement of more than one reputable newspaper correspondent in that gallery, and as a rule they are as honorable as senators on this floor. On their authority, I state that the two chief cuckoos of this administration are the correspondents of the New York Tribune and the Chicago Tribune. "And, therefore, it seems to be conclusive that this slander proceeds from the white house. I hope, for the honor of my country, that it does not proceed from the president himself." SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. MAY 19, 1906. OLD TIME LIMIT STANDS. Methodist Conference Decides Four Years Are Enough for Ministers to Remain at One Station. The general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, south, Wednesday afternoon adopted, by an overwhelming majority, the minority report of the committee o nitinerancy opposing any extension of the time limit of pastors. The majority of the committee had reported in favor of extending the limit from four to six years. The report recipitated a long debate, which was quite acrimonious at times. In connection with the recent action of the conference creating a commission to meet similar reports from other branches of Methodism looking to a revision was a re-statement of the church's creed, Dinsdale T. Young, the fraternal delegate from Great Britain, attending the conference, is inclined to believe that a special act of parliament will be necessary if such a step is taken by the Wesleyan church in England. Mr. Young said: "My impression is that we cannot baye a genuine re-statement of revision of the creed without the consent of parliament, owing to John Wesley's poll deed, the legal foundation of Methodism. This certainly applies to any alteration of the three-year ministerial limit without an act of parliament, and I think the same rule apto any alteration or revision of the doctrine as well as the constitution of the church." IRREGULARITIES CHARGED To Grand Master of Exchequer of the Georgia Knights of Pythlas. The election of officers and the drill of the uniformed rank of the Knights of Pythias grand lodge at Augusta, Ga., was dwarfed in public interest Wednesday by rumors that were later confirmed of irregularities in the books and accounts of Grand Master of the Exchequer W.A. McArthur of Augusta, who was superseded in office. The officers and Knights are reticent in talking, but it is acknowledged that a statement was made to the grand lodge at Wednesday's session to the effect that irregularities were found that -inf to a shortage of more than $3,000. Friends of Mr. McArthur deny that there was any intentional wrongdoing on his part and that the matter will be found to come out all right. A close friend of Mr. McArthur says that McArthur acknowledged that he had endorsed notes for friends who had gone back on him and that was the cause of his trouble. CHANDLER IS FACETIOUS. White House "Messenger Boy" Glad Intrialist Days Are Over. A Washington dispatch says: The most interesting feature of Mr. Chandler's letter to Mr. Tillman is contained in the closing paragraph, in which he says: "On the whole, perhaps I ought to consider myself fortunate. If the old imperialist days had been revived at the white house, one whom I considered the best of friends, Senator Lodge, upon demand would have cut off my head and taken it to President Roosevelt on a charger, and I should have spoken no more. Now, at least, I have left me the power of speech. But I shall never use it again as a mission from President Roosevelt to the democratic party." WANT MONSTER BATTLESHIP. House Has Important Question Up for Settlement. Shall the United States have a battleship, the peer, if not the superior of any battleship, in the world, carrying as heavy armor and as -wrful armament as any known vessel of its class? was the question which presented itself to the house Wednesday during the consideration of the naval appropriations bill. BY BOMB AND BULLETS Four People Are Killed on Streets of Warsaw—Several Wounded. While Police Captain Constantinoff was standing in Marszalowska street, Warsaw, Monday evening, with two policemen and four soldiers, a young man threw a bomb into the group. The explosion literally tore Constantinoff to pieces and severely wounded seven other persons. The assassin tried to escape, and fired his revolver and wounded a soldier. The other soldiers replied with a volley, killing the assassin and two other persons. RAKES ROOSEVELT Bailey Accuses President of Being a Rank Turn-Coat. TILLMAN PLIESPITCHFORK Both Senators Use Scathing Language Anent Attitude of Chief Executive Regarding the Railroad Rate Bill. In one of the bitterest attacks that has been made upon President Roosevelt during the debate on the railroad rate bill Senator Bailey, at Saturday's session of the senate, charged that the executive had surrendered his position advocating "an effective measure" and had abandoned his demands for tariff revision. The Texas senator charged that the president's arraignment of trusts had been made after his election and that before that time he had been as "silent as the grave" on the subject of regulating the railroads. The senator closed with the statement: "But let us have no more talk in the senate and talk in the country about this iron man, he is clay, and very common clay at that." The speech was in reply to Senator Carter, who had defended the president against criticism, saying that no one could charge him with cowardice. In the course of his remarks, Senator Carter referred to the democratic party as a party of negation and nothing more. He declared that the party had been frightened into a chill at the prospect of action. He charged that neither Senators Bailey nor Rayner in all their congressional career had done anything to secure effective railroad rate legislation. When Senator Bailey gained the floor he charged that the Montana senator's ebullition was due to the fact that he had not been mentioned by Senator Rayner in his speech Friday as one of the president's special ambassadors. He defended his own record on the ground that during his congressional service his party had been in power only the first four years. If during that time the democrats were in the minority, he had introduced a bill to regulate the railroads, the senator said, he would have been performing an act of buncombe. He repeated charges of inconsistency on the part of the president in his legislative program, saying that the "absolute rate" first contended for had been deserted for the "maximum rate" and that the president had changed his position on the subject of suspension of rates pending a reversal by the courts. Senator Tillman also got busy with his pitchfork during the session, and before he had got through he had pried up the lid covering the record of negotiations between President Roosevelt on the one hand and the democratic senators on the other, the most interesting result being the apparent reception of a question of veracity in which ex-Senator Chandler of New Hampshire, and the president are involved. Senator Tillman quoted a statement of Mr. Chandler, in which the president was said to have put Senators Foraker, Knox and Spooner down as enemies of the rate bill. Senator Lodge at once telephoned the white house and got from the president a denial couched in good, strong English, a denial that went to the length of saying that the statement attributed to him by the former senator from New Hampshire was deliberately and unqualifiedly false. Senator Tillman refried to the Long amendment, saying that he did so with the purpose of making an explanation. He said that the senators probably would be surprised to know that he had been in conference with the president. He then, contrary to his usual practice, read a statement of his negotiations regarding the bill. A CALL TO KENTUCKIANS. Natives Are Summoned from Other States for "Home Coming Week." In summoning the 600,000 ex-Kentuckians now residing in other states to return to Louisville for "homecoming week." June 13 to 17, Governor Beckham has issued a proclamation, in which he says in part: "Wherever you have wandered, into whatever lands or climes you may have gone to take up your abode, you are now, by parental authority, summoned back to the proud old state that gave birth to you or to your forefathers. A joyous welcome awaits you." HONOR-CODE FRACTURED. Tillman Declares the President Has Broken Faith Regarding Rate Bill—Makes a Statement. A Washington special says: While the debate on the personnel of the interstate commerce commission was in progress in the senate Tuesday, Senator Tillman took the floor to make a statement on behalf of ex-Senator Chandler, which had been momentarily expected since Senator Lodge's conveyance Saturday to the senate of the president's emphatic denial of some statements attributed to Mr. Chandler by the South Carolina senator. Mr. Tillman read the portion of Mr. Chandler's memoranda of his conferences with the president, which has heretofore been given to the public, prefacing it with a brief statements of his own, saying that on Saturday the senate had been startled and mortified to hear the utterances of an exsenator denounced on behalf of the president as a "deliberate and unqualified falsehood." As he had been responsible for introducing the subject which had caused the attack on Mr. Chandler, he felt under obligations to place him right on the record. To that end he read the ex-senator's statement. The reading of that statement was followed by the following from Mr. Tillman: "There are only two points in the president's letter which I deem worthy of notice. His attempted explanation is ingenious but ingenuous. He calls in question the integrity of purpose and utterance of Mr. Chandler by declaring: "He was asked to see ex-Senator Chandler as representing Mr. Tillman, who was in charge of the bill. He stated to me the views of Mr. Tillman with seeming authority." "Mr. Chandler has declared most positively in a written statement that the president sent for him for the purpose of getting into communication with Senator Bailey and myself and he has produced the letter of Mr. Loeb. "I now declare most emphatically that to no human being have I ever given authority or even expressed a wish to have any conference with Theodore Roosevelt in regard to the bill now under consideration. On the contrary, I have expressed the opinion in more than one public interview that he had nothing to do with it, and that it was the business of the senate. "The other point to which I shall refer is the cavalier way in which Mr. Moody discusses the idea of the president not being bound. "While contradicting in no instance, however slight, my statement of what occurred, the attorney general seems to think that the code of honor among gentlemen is not binding upon the executive and his cabinet. "The president asked him to see Mr. Bailey and myself. We met by appointment made by Senator Chandler and talked over the vital question. He wrote and sent to Mrl Bailey his understanding of our views, and when we met subsequently we reached an absolute agreement, both as to the form and the substance of a proposed amendment, to which he said the president would assert and help get votes for. "Of course he was not bound not to change, but he was bound under such circumstances to give notice and that was not done. Even the attorney general himself was not notified. The charge I made, and still make is that the president is guilty of bad faith and that the rate bill which will be enacted into law, a much better and stronger measure than we had hoped to get, has been emasculated of one of the most valuable and essential amendments by the president's action. "I am ready to leave the whole question to the thoughtful and honorable men of the country." THIS IN NORTH CAROLINA. Girl of Twelve Years Convicted for Defending Her Honor.

The judge charged the jury that the girl should be found guilty of manslaughter or acquitted. Preacher, Wife and Children Bralned and Cremated. HORROR STIRS FLORIDA Appalling Crime Committed Near Pensacola—Charred Bodies With Skulls Crushed Found in Ashes of Burned Home. One of the most thorrible crimes in the history of Florida, if not in the history of the south, was committed in Santa Rosa county, ten miles north of Milton, Sunday night, when a man by the name of Ackerman, an itinerant preacher, his wife and several children, the oldest between 13 and 14 years of age, were murdered and their bodies cremated in the home which was fired by the assassins. A fund of over $1,000 has been raised by the citizens of Milton, which is offered as a reward for the approhension of the murderers, and the governor has been sealed to to offer a reward on behalf of the state. The crime was discovered Monday morning by parties with whom Ackerman had an appointment, who found the home a mass of ruins, and the charred bodies of Ackerman, his wife and seven small children among the wreckage. Examination of the bodies disclosed the fact that Ackerman and his wife had been struck on the head with some blunt instrument, their skulls being crushed in. The bodies were scattered about in different parts of the ruins. Details indicate that the father, mother and each of the seven children were murdered before the building was fired, as the skull of each was crushed. The body of Ackerman was found near the location of the door leading from the bedroom in which he slept, and by his side was a revolver. The body of Mrs. Ackerman, who gave birth to a child on Friday, was found with that of her infant child outside, at the front of the house. The oldest child was found near the door leading out to the front porch. All of the bodies were badly burned, practically only the trunks remaining. The bodies of three boys were found practically where the bed upon which they slept stood previous to the confagration. When a party from Milton reached the scene about 11 o'clock Monday morning the sills of the building were still burning, which seemed to indicate that the fire had been started several hours after midnight. The country nearby is sparsely settled, the nearest neighbor residing about one-quarter of a mile away. This neighbor says he knew nothing of the fire until early Monday morning when he saw that the building had been destroyed and notified other neighbors before trying to ascertain the damage. The feeling throughout Santa Rosa county is high over the dastardly deed and every effort is being made to apprehend the guilty parties. Ackerman moved to the settlement which was known as Allentown, from Opp, Ala., about three years ago, and has always been considered a good and peaceful citizen. While he had no regular charge it was his custom to preach occasionally throughout that section of Santa Rosa county. He was not known to have had any enemies and the motive for the atrocious crime is a mystery. WEIGHTS MUST BE TESTED. Georgia Indebtedness Law Upheld by Supreme Court.

NO PLACE FOR CHILDREN. Pastor Advises Against Their Attending Spectacular Revival Meeting. Rev. C. B. Wilmer, rector of St. Luke's Episcopal church, Atlanta, sprang a sensation in his Sunday morning sermon when he stated that he could not advise parents to send the children of his congregation to attend the special meeting for children conducted by Dr. Torrey and Mr. Alexander, evangelists. He objected because of the fact that he did not know what would be done or said at the meeting. . NO. 33. FAVOR NEW STATEMENT. Methodist Conference Decides to Appoint a Committee for Purpose of Revising Articles of Faith. Monday, by a vote of 151 to 107, the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, south, in session at Birmingham, declared itself in favor of the creation of a committee to prepare a new statement of faith. A majority of the clerical and lay delegates was necessary to make the report of the special committee recommending the commission a law and separate votes were taken. The final result showed: Ayes, clerical, 83; lay, 68; nays, clerical, 66; lay, 51. There was no demonstration when the result was announced. The adoption of the report of the special committee, composed of W. R. Tillett, dean of Vanderbilt; W. R. Lambuth and C. W. Carter, means that a special committee of five members, one of whom shall be a bishop, and shall invite all other branches of Methodism to unite with the southern church in the preparation of such a statement of faith and such a statement of the doctrinal system as is called for in the twentieth century. The committee recommended non-concurrence in memorials from Mississippi and Missouri annual conference at St. Louis, the Alexandria and Protar Bluff districts, asking legislation for controlling evangelists. The committee on publishing interests recommended the adoption of resolutions that the conference affirms the action of the committee on publishing interests of the general conference in 1902 in reference to the petition of the International Typographical Union seeking to unfonize the publishing house at Nashville, Tenn. In regard to the memorial from the Typographical Union the committee says that it does not come within the province of the committee to take action thereon. Non-concurrence was reported on memorials looking to consolidation of The Quarterly Review with The Christian Advocate; to give to one of the book committee duties now performed by the book editor printing of alms selected as part of the order of worship. A telegram was read just before the close of Monday's session from Vice President Fairbanks stating that he would arrive in Birmingham on Thursday night, and remain in the city all Friday. The message asked if this would be satisfactory to the conference, and upon motion it was decided to hear from Mr. Fairbanks and Dr. W. S. Matthews, of Berkeley, Cal., the fraternal delegates from the Methodist Episcopal church, on Friday evening. RUSS ADMIRAL PUNCTURED. Hated Official Meets Death at Hands of Assassin.

Montgomery made a tax levy of $5 per $1,000 for the purpose of building a new court house and effort was made to collect this tax just two days before the final organization of the new county of Toombs under the law by which it was created. The supreme court holds that Montgomery is not entitled to and cannot collect this tax. The same decision, however, permits Montgomery county to collect a road tax from the citizens of the new county of Toombs, formerly Montgomery, which was assessed prior to the organization of the new county. Call to Populists. Chairman J. J. Holloway, of the state executive committee of the populist party, has issued the following official call: "The state executive committee of B. W.

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.

BY DOHA RUSSELL. UNDER the maple trees Grandfather Bennett's house stood out all red, and square, and comfortable, and under the maple trees Granddaughter Julia was Just winding up a long quarrel with her lover with a neatness and dispatch that did great credit to her two years' training in a fashionable boarding school. Poor John Renton! Ever since Miss Julia's return from the school things had seemed to go "all wrong" between them, as he expressed it. In the first place he had looked horrified at the peculiar style of dressing her hair, after the style of the Japanese ladies, with a tower above her eyebrows. He and expressed himself disrespectfully in regard to certain other fashionable vagaries in which she indulged; and in the last place, his crowning sin of omission or commission had been a good-natured willingness to take up their old boy-and-girl courtship just where it left off, when she was sent to Madam Fleur's school, without the least idea that Miss Julia now required to be wooed and won in a more romantic way. So things went on, from bad to worse, each saying at, times much more than he on she really meant, and each being far too proud to "take it all back" and ask to be forgiven. And now, on the eve of John's departure for "the woods"—where he was to stay, cutting down timber with a gang of twenty men under his orders, until the deep snows of the winter gave place to the clearer roads of spring—now that only a few hours of companionship remained to them, they had quarreled so sharply and so thoroughly, that Julia at last drew the little turquoise ring off her finger, that she had worn there ever since her fourteenth birthday, and placed it on John's broad palm without a word. He looked down at it, as if scared by its sudden appearance. "Do you really mean it, Julia?" he asked, at last. "I do," she answered, firmly. "Three years ago I bought it for you with the first money I ever earned. I was proud enough when I saw it on your finger, dear. And now you say everything is at an end between us." "Everything." Julia felt that her voice trembled as she spoke, for his allusion to their childish troth-plight had touched her. She felt, too, that he was watching her eagerly. Did he think then that she cared so much that she could not see him go with dry eyes and a quiet heart? She looked up at the stars and made some casual remark about their brightness, to show her perfect composure. John uttered an exclamation that sounded almost like an oath, and darted away. "It is all for the best," thought Julla, as she went into the house. "If he is so harsh and so violent now, what will he be when I am once his wife?" John would be nothing better than a "down-east farmer" all his long life. And she had learned—or thought she had learned—to love the city better than the country—to pine for city sights and city amusements whenever the country's loneliness seemed too hard to bear. The weeks went on, and nothing was heard of the men who were camping out in the forest fifteen miles away. No news was good news, however, in their case. No one felt the least anxiety about them. Not even Julia Bennett, who was making ready for a month's visit to a school friend in Brooklyn, who was the cousin and intimate friend a certain dashing young lawyer, whose admiration of Miss Julla in her schoolgirl days had been a subject of remark among her immediate companions. "Herbert bids me say that he looks forward most anxiously to the day of your arrival," the city girl had written at the end of her letter. And the country girl read the flattering reminder with a vain toss of her pretty head, and an unspoken wish that John Renton could read it, too. "He would understand, then, that there are others in the world who care for me, and who don't take things quite so much for granted as he does," she thought. Yet, during her preparations for the journey, Julia's thoughts ran oddly and continually, not on the dark-eyed lawyer, with the city alrs and graces, but on the broad-shouldered, hard-handed, florid-checked Renton, with his blue eyes and healthy bronzed face, and his snow-white forehead, shaded by thick chestnut curls. "He would make two of Mr. Egerton, and yet he is so clumsy!" she thought, half laughing and half crying. But all the while her heart was very sore. On the night before her departure, Julia visited the postoffice, and also the telegraph office, to give notice to her friend in Brooklyn of the hour of her arrival on the next day. She found the telegraph clerk wrestling with an unusually long message, and waited at the door until he would be at leisure. An ox team slowly rounded the northern corner of the village street, and proceeded at a more leisurely crawl than usual past the telegraph office. "Not much like Lawyer Egerton's trotting bays and shell-shaped cutter," thought Julia, smiling contemptuously at the homely vehicle. "But something must be wrong there. I can see two men lying on the sled, wrapped up in buffalo robes, and the driver is surely Sam Paine; and, oh dear! they are stopping at Mr. Renton's gate!" Julia's heart seemed to stand still. Sam Paine had been for the last century, as it seemed to her, the trusted farm hand of the great "Deacon Renton" place. And the deacon had only consented to let John go into the camp with the loggers on the condition that. Sam should go also, and look after him. What sleek man would they bring to Deacon Renton's door, save one? What man, save one, would be placed so completely in the care of Sam Paine, that he would leave the loggers in that far-off camp to their own devices, and bring a slick or an injured man to the deacon's home? "Now, Miss Bennett, I can send your message," said the telegraph clerk. He started as she turned toward him. "Bless me! are you ill? You are as pale as a corpse, Miss Julia," he exclaimed. "I've had a fright. Some one is out there, ill, or dying, or something." She waved her hand toward the door. "Go over there and see what it is. I'll mind the office while you are out." The clerk was a city boy of fifteen, banished to that country village by his father, for the benefit of his morals and manner. He knew nothing of the childish love between John Renton and the elegant Miss Bennett, and came hurrying back, open-mouthed and eager to tell his news. "They say there has been a bad accident up in the logging camp, Miss Julia." "Who—what?" she gasped. "Young Mr. Renton and one of his men. They've brought him home dead, poor fellow. The other may recover, but, among other injuries, he has a broken arm. Oh, it is a dreadful thing. Every one is saying so." Miss Bennett muttered something behind her vell that the telegraph clerk failed to understand, and walked away. "Why, she never sent the message, after all!" he cried. "But I've often heard it said that women have no head for business, and now I know it by my own experience." All through that dreadful day Julia Bennett sat alone in her own chamber, mourning over the gallant fellow who had gone away to his death, uncheered by one kind word or look from her nay, with his brave heart wrung and bleeding because of her coldness and falsity. "Do you know the truth now? Up in Heaven, Douglass, Douglass, tender and true!" Those words kept surging through her brain until they nearly drove her mad. At nightfall she could endure her misery no longer. Come what would, she must look upon John's face once more, even if it was the face of the dead! She wrapped herself in her cloak, and, avoiding the warm and lighted parlor where Grandfather Bennett sat beside the bright hearth, waiting for her to make his tea, she hurried out into the street, and ran blindly on, until she reached the Renton house. The female servant who admitted her stared with a puzzled face as she listened to her whispered explanation. "The master'll know about it, miss," she said, at last, and threw open the parlor door. A tall figure, bending over the red firelight, in an attitude of deep depression, rose as she entered, and turned wonderingly toward her. With a wild scream of joy Julia bounded forward, and threw herself upon John Renton's breast. "Oh, I thought you were dead! They told me so!" she cried. "No, love, no!" said John, holding her clasped in his left arm. "Poor Michael Paine, Sam's brother, was suddenly killed by a falling tree, and I got a broken arm and some other injuries, so that they kept me stupefied with drugs till I reached home. But I shall soon be all right—the sooner because you have come to me like this." Grandfather Bennett waited a good hour for his tea. But at the end of the hour came Julia, radiant and smiling, with John beside her, and the turquoise ring upon her hand once more!—New York Weekly. Pretty Wedding Custom In some parts of the Tyrol a beautiful, though curious, custom prevails. When a girl is going to be married and just before she leaves for the church her mother gives her a handkerchief, which is called a fear-kerchief. It is made of newly-spun and unsuused linen, and with it the girl dries the natural tears she sheds on leaving home. The tear-kerchief is never used after the marriage day, but is folded up and placed in the linen closet, where it remains till its owner's death, when it is taken from its place and spread over her face. Use of "Trees" Imperative. Only the woman with a perfectly shaped foot can afford not to keep "trees" in her shoes when they are not in use. A pair of shoes actually worn out with daily use will be almost as shapely as when new, simply because trees were put into them as soon as they were taken off the feet. decorations, but in all the latest colfires. Mrs. Longworth wears a hand some aligrette of osprey feathers, and every one of her street hats show wings and breasts of pretty songsters. One of her hats, a pale gray, has lovely white dove for adornment. Mrs. Roosevelt rarely uses birds if her hat, for though she is not a men Acting as Mayor. Pasadena's Acting Mayor is a woman. Miss Anna McGrew, young, pretty and clever, is probably the only one of her sex in the country, declares the Chicago Record-Herald, who knows what it is like to be the chief executive of a city. Miss McGrew is Mayor Waterhouse's stenographer, and has learned so much of the executive business that she is able to manage it very successfully while the California Mayor is on a visit to his former home in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. A Faring Skirt If you have worn a sagging skirt and it is sagging at every inch, take out the hem, put it on and have the seam-stress sit on the floor and with an inch rule and a piece of white chalk go around the entire skirt, measuring two inches from the floor. This makes the turning up of the new hem a certainty as to straightness, and it is the only way that it can be done to satisfaction, says Anne Rittenhouse, in the Chicago Inter-Ocean. After it is turned up it would be wise to put on the outside a two-inch blas fold of the material or something to harmonize with it in color and stitch this with two rows at each edge. This gives a wonderful steadiness to the footline. --- A Landscape Gardener. In a small Jersey town not far from New York is a young woman who is making her living by setting out hardy gardens for people. Befg.fond of plants she began by helping friends to arrange their flower gardens without recompense. From this her services came into demand, and now she earns her living by planning old fashioned flower garden for any who wish the work done. There is quite a knack in getting the right flowers together and arranging them so that the tallest plants shall form a background for the smaller varieties. Correct sense of color is demanded, also, for while it is supposed that this sort of garden is planted in a hit or miss fashion, a regular color scheme must be followed.—New York Sun. Lace on Evening Gowns. There is something decidedly novel and unique in the way lace is now put on many of the evening gowns, flat across the top of the waist, in both the front and the back, and yet with sufficient fulness to look wider than the broad girdle or draped folds of the waist below. A tucker of fine net held in place with a narrow ribbon or gathering-string is also a new touch, and one that is most becoming, for with it the gown can be cut more collate without being at all immodest. On the sleeves there must be also the flat bands of lace, either at the top or bottom of the sleeve or just through the centre, whichever best carries out the style. The elbow sleeves often have ruffles added now.—From Special Fashion Number of Harper's Bazar. Irish crochet holds its own. Limerick and Carrickmacross figure. Guipure and Cluny are as good as ever. Chantilly is by no means out of the race. Point de Venise is not in some combinations. Lace does not dominate hat trimmings. For dresses and blouses any amount of lace is used. Deep bands and whole coats are made of this lovely stuff. A goodly part of some of the smartest frocks is made of lace. Wedding Savings. Married in gray, you will go far away. Married in black, you will wish yourself back. Married in brown, you will live out of town. Married in red, you will wish yourself dead. Married in pearl, you will live in a whirl. Married in green, ashamed to be seen. Married in yellow, ashamed of your fellow. Married in blue, he will always be true. Married in pink, your spirits will sink. Married in white, you have chosen right—Home Chat. "Andubonnetts" Moura Feather Fancy While women abroad, always anxious to follow the lead of Queen Alexandra, are adding their influence to her powerful plea for the protection of birds, no such tendency is found on this side of the water. Wise and tender-hearted "Audubonnetts" may argue as they please, it seems they must wait still another season to get society's car, for never has there been such a riot of plumage displayed as now. Feather hats are the height of popularity, and grettettes appear not only on the head decorations, but in all the latest cofires. Mrs. Longworth wears a handsome aligrette of osprey feathers, and every one of her street hats shows wings and breasts of pretty songsters. One of her hats, a pale gray, has a lovely white dove for adornment. Mrs. Roosevelt rarely uses birds in her hat, for though she is not a member of the Audubon Society, her younger daughter and boys belong to the organization and attend all the sessions when they are in Washington. New York Press. Natural Flower Hats. Madame Sembrich trims her hats with natural flowers. This is probably not due to the fact that she enjoys the odor. Like all singers, she has no use for any flowers that have a strong perfume. The reason for this practice, says the New York Sun, is that she does not know what particular color she may want to wear on a black or a white hat. She decides this usually when she has the hat on, and then she puts in the flowers from the supply in her room. She has seen at the opera this year with a white and a black hat. Each has been trimmed in turn with mauve orchids, pink and red carnations. Few of her friends have ever noticed the peculiarity, for the reason that they have taken the flowers for the usual artificial decorations. She confessed the secret to a friend the other day after the woman had asked her how she same to buy two hats identical but for the flowers. Then she told of her weakness. "But suppose, it should be found out?" her friend suggested. "It never has been, though," the famous singer answered. "The nearest anybody ever came to it was to remark how extremely natural the flowers looked—almost like real," one woman observed." The Daughter's Salary. Where a girl must serve as either governess, nurse or companion in her own home, there is no color of reason for refusing her wages, writes Martha McCulloch-Williams, in Good Housekeeping. If not the full amount an outsider would demand, all that can be fairly afforded. And where a whole family has reached adult age, it is indisputably just that those who earn money outside the home should pay part of it to those who do the housekeeping. With several daughters, the household empire may be divided into provinces, and parceled out according to adaptation. Let the jolly, outdoor girl, who loves everything animate, be supreme in the dairy or poultry yard, and entitled to half the increment thereof. If family needs require more than half, buy of her as of any outside person. Similarly let the slender creature who needs air and sunshine have the garden under a like agreement, the orchard and vineyard as well, if such things there be. With no more than a small hothouse, there are chances of profit. Money makes the mare go—and a great many other things beside. Housekeeping proper, chamber work, the care of books, keeping accounts, work as social secretary, all, all, may provide employment that will help toward family harmony. If none of these things appeal to some particular climate, let her go out and away, to find the thing she is really fit to undertake. This is written primarily as regards daughters, but in exceptional cases it applies with equal force to growing sons. A share in the prospective profits will keep a boy at things, when all else might fall. A bit of light or turquoise blue adds a becoming touch of color to an Eton costume of a gray mixture. A wide silver filagree buckle is as handsome on a white silver girdle as the gold ones that are so popular. Costly parasol handles with tips to match are sold in sets, and are of gold and silver set with jewels, carved ivory, tortoise shell and other expensive wares. How very pretty is an automobile coat of white mohair with insets of the palest blue on collar and cuffs; and since mohair cleans so well nothing so pretty could be more serviceable. The Empire hats seem to us a sort of extreme style; indeed they cannot be worn by everyone, but they are exceedingly rich in detail. Even then the buckle is very likely an exquisite miniature. For the bodice of a net gown the horizontally tucked models are especially pretty for young and slight figures. The tucks are the same width on bodice and sleeve, and show up especially well on the thin net. White linen belt and collar with stitched blas bands of bright-colored plaid are a fitting accompaniment to a morning costume of white linen. Belt and collar of white polka-dotted in color are also neat and appropriate. The only trimming on a skirt of a white serge costume is a wide stitched band of the material applied near the hem and down the front. The bolero is sweetly simple with only narrow braid in pale blue and gold lines on the collar and cuffs—and zilt buttons. POPULAR SCIENCE The latent image—the undeveloped photograph—is an electro-chemical formation of molecular nuclei, around which the visible image is subsequently built up by development. When the glass plate of a photographic negative is scraped free from film and cleaned chemically, nothing remains visible, but on breathing on the glass the photographic image may be brought out again as a faint gray and white positive. Twice as much heat is generated by X-rays in lead as in zinc. The only explanation evident to the discoverer is that certain elements are broken up by these rays, and that the energy liberated from these atoms forms a part of that appearing when the rays are absorbed by matter. The automatic gas kindler and extinguished of Herr Raupp, of Mayence, is based upon the singular effect of light in increasing the electric conductivity of selenium. With the coming of daylight, the selenium permits the ready passage of an electric current, and this causes the shutting off of the gas, which the apparatus turns on again and ignites as darkness comes again. The selenium, of course, is shielded from the light of the burning gas. 一 The powers of the stomach have been gauged hitherto by means of a test breakfast and the subsequent use of the stomach pump, or less directly by chemical test of the urine. A new method is being tried in Europe by Dr. Schwartz. He administers a large pill of a third or a half ounce of subnitrate of bismuth enclosed in a coating of connective tissue from the sheep or ox, and when examination is then made with X-rays, this subsequent na made with X-rays, this substance shows as a dark shadow. At first it appears as a deep black spot. As digestion progresses, however, it disseminates through the stomach, and in health gives a faint shadow of the entire organ in about seven hours. In such disorders as deficiency of acid, pyloric disease and cancer, the black spot persists nine, eleven or even twenty hours, while in hyperacidity the too rapid digestion may cause the spot to disappear in two to five hours. A toxine of the blood of eels and allied species, preventing coagulation of poisoned blood, was discovered by M. Mosso as long ago ca 1880. The toxine has not yet been isolated, but late investigators have found that the eel serum retains its toxic power for a considerable time in the dark, but that the degree of toxicity varies with the individual eel and with the season. Like snake venom, the toxine appears to be active only when entering the blood, being harmless when swallowed. An anti-toxine can be produced in the blood serum of susceptible animals, and this renders rabbits and goats immune against great doses, though little effect is produced on guline pigs. Experiments made by G. F. Becker and A. L. Day on the linear force exerted by growing crystals have brought out interesting facts. They found that crystals of alum are able to form in a saturated solution, in opposition to the pressure of a heavy weight, when they must lift. This linear force of growing crystals is, of geologic importance, for it has been found that pyritic crystals formed in slate rock are able to drive apart the laminae of the rock without any perceptible deformation of the crystals. FOREST'S ON RESERVES. How the Government is Restoring Denuded Mountains and Waters. The area now under forest in the West is less by millions of acres than the area suitable for forest growth. In the first place, fire has destroyed an enormous quantity of forest, denuding mountain slopes so completely that forest renewal by natural means has been rendered impossible for ages. Again, vast arens, scores of millions of acres, like the chaparrel lands of Southern California, which once bore forest growth but long since lost it, must remain indefinitely unproductive wastes unless brought again, by planting, under forest. Moreover, the demand for timber, even, the local demand, cannot long be supplied from the reserves unless they are developed to the highest productive capacity, and, for this, forest replacement and extension, quite as much as conservative logging, are essential. Finally, the indirect use of the reserves is not less impressive. The vital importance of water for irrigation would, in the case of several of them, alone, suffice to render forest planting on watersheds imperative. In Southern California forest extension on the mountains is strongly favored by public sentiment, at almost any expense, because it is water, not the supply of fertile soil, which limits agriculture, so that land worth $2000 an acre with water could hardly be given away without it—United States Agricultural Bulletin. Horse Abattoir in Germany. It is reported that the consumption of horse meat at Nuremberg, Germany, where a few years ago it was quite insignificant, has now increased so greatly that the facilities for horse slaughtering at the municipal abattoir have become insufficient, and the City Council has been obliged to consider the construction of a new abattoir for horses, the cost of which is estimated at $43,000.

A curious lawsuit came up in a London, Court recently which involved a balance against a corn dealer of four shillings "for dried files." "What on earth do you do with them?" asked the astonished Judge. "They are used in the making of chicken food," replied the plaintiff. He explained that a bag of eighty-one pounds of dried files was supplied to the defendant at eightpence a pound, and according to the custom of the trade the gross weight was charged for. The defendant contended that he ought to pay only for the net weight. "You surprise me when you talk about eighty-one pounds of dried files in bulk," said the Judge. "Where do you find all these files?" "They are imported." "Where from?" "America." It is an export trade, suggests the New York Tribute, that deserves encouragement. What Fashion Means. The chief end of fashion is not adornment or the cultivation of beauty or anything of that sort. It is the promotion of trade. The design is to make all women who can possibly afford it throw aside, at least once a year, all the clothes they own and buy new ones. It is realized, when this season's fashions make last season's look so conspicuously out of date that no, sensitive woman can wear her last year's gown without grief.—Collier's Weekly.

The white Knights of Pythias are attempting to stir up strife in the State between the races. At the recent grand lodge session in Augusta, a committee of lawyers was appointed to devise plans whereby the colored knights will be put out of business. They have a serious proposition on hand and will never succeed at it. If they attempt to do so they will have one of the liveliest legal battles on hand that was ever waged. For years the colored knights have been getting along peaceably, and on account of their marked progress, the breasts of the opposite ones are heaving with prejudice and anxiety for the annihilation of the colored brother. THE TRIBUNE predicts that the colored knights will be in existence long after the posterity of those who are now attempting to harm them have become extinct. LAST week in the Superior Court, while trying a small colored boy, Judge Cann admonished the colored citizens to pay more attention to such cases and endeavor to keep the boys out of trouble. The judge's intention in this matter is alright but he has lost sight of the cause of so many boys in this city getting into trouble. The cause of it is mainly the lack of school accommodation. With over four thousand children unprovided with school facility, the wonder is that a greater number is not on the chain gang. We admire the able judge and would like to get his assistance in securing another school building for our children. As good citizens, we are doing much in our power to train our children as they should be, but when the avenues of ignorance and vice are wide open it is hard for us to stem them without the aid of those in authority. Net Flt for Governor. Mr. L. M. Merchison, chairman of Bryan county sent us an interesting account of the Hoke Smith meeting at Clyde, last week.

The grand jury of the county has recommened the establishing of an industrial school for our people in that county. Masonic Notes. From reports the coming session will be well attended and very interesting. Full obedience to Grand Lodge regulations is expected of each Lodge. Recreant Lodges are expected to forward annual report at once. It will be impossible for the Grand Secretary to render a full report unless the Lodges make immediate returns. Past Master Samuel Bowen, of Keller, has the sympathy of the brethren in the death of his son. Without the blowing of horns this grand old Order is doing much good and securing a foothold that will withstand ages The brethren and members of the chapters were glad to welcome to the city, Mrs. Viola E. Hart, Grand Royal Matron of the Grand Chapter O. E. S. She arrived in the city on Tuesday and at night lectured to Electa and Mt. Moriah Chapters O. E. S. A large number of ladies were present and highly enjoyed the lecture, commenting on it as one of the best treats of their chapter life. The meeting was honored with the presiding officers of the three largest ladies' institutions in state, O.E.S., H.H. of R. and I. O.O. C., in the persons of Mrs. Hart and the beloved Mrs. R. L. Barnes, who is one of the F. A. T. A. L., and who represents the two latter institutions; After the meeting a reception was tendered the Royal Grand Matron and the ladies all joined in commending her for her timely address. Mrs. Hart has visited a number of the chapters in the state and speaks encouragingly of the Rite. She returned home on Thursday morning with the best wishes of the ladies of Savannah. A Big Mass Meeting at Valdosta, In Interest of the State Fair OF THE STATE FAIR Prof. D. C. Suggs, VicePresident of the Georgia State College, having been invited to address the colored citizens of Valdosta and Lowndes County, made a flying trip there in the interest of the State Fair to be held in Macon. A large crowd had assembled at the court house for the purpose of hearing him. Prof. Sugge has the proud distinction of being the first colored man to address a body in Lowndes County's new court house. The meeting was opened with prayer by Elder Z. H. Griffith. Prof C. G. Wiley, principal of the colored public schools, then in chosen words introduced the speaker of the hour, styling him as one of the greatest orators of Georgia and possibly of the South. Prof. Suggs was at his best and fully convinced his hearers that the introductory remarks with reference to him were not flattery. His word pictures of the past of the Negro were highly enjoyed and evoked much applause. He carried his audience so completely along that when he told them that it was high time for the Negro in Georgia to give a State Fair, they were as a unit for it Professor Suggs is easily, one of the drawing cards in south Georgia. The audience was next asked to take stock in the State Fair, and including a few shares previously subscribed 250-shares were subscribed for Lowndes County. The subscribers included most of the leading men of the county. Even Rev. T. N. M. Smith who has been reported as opposing the fair took out five shares. It is confidently expected that the number for Lowndes County will reach the five hundred mark before the subscription list closes. Prof. Suggs was instrumental in securing for the people of Valdosta their present principal, and has spoken for them on an Emancipation Proclamation occasion, and has in other ways secured for himself the cordial welcome which the people of Valdosta and Lowndes County extend him. On Sunday night, May 6th, President Wright spoke at Dr. E R Carter's Church, Atlanta, Ga., in the interest of the Colored State Fair. A large crowd was present and Rev. Carter and his members subscribed liberally to the capital stock of the Fair Association. On Monday the Evangelical Ministers' Union consisting of the ministers of Atlanta heartily endorsed the movement and each one of them subscribed for a number of shares. They also made plans for a grand mass meeting to be held in the interest of the fair. President W. H. Crogman, of Clark University, will have charge of the programme on Education Day and Miss Lucy Laney of Haines Institute, has been placed in charge of the woman's department. Rev. E. R. Carter is Chairman of the Atlanta local committee. Boston Suprise. Miss Bessie Moore gave her mother a pleasant surprise in honor her forty-seventh birthday on Wednesday evening of last week.

That the Sunday Club is maintaining its prestige, and that it bids fair to become a potent factor for the good in this community, is an important fact. The power and attraction it has, are evidenced by the large and representative audiences which gather each Sunday to listen to the very excellent programs, which from time to time are rendered. One thing, however, which speaks very creditably for the Club, but which seems not to be so generally known to the public at large is the setting into headquarters by the Club. The interest on the part of the members in the reading room has not wholly been satisfactory, but it is gratifying to the officers to note the gradual but growing interest of the public at large in these reading rooms on Henry street, east, now established, a little above a month. The Sunday Club in this effort, is placing a premium on the reading man, and hops to educate our young men and young women to read more and which, naturally, will cause them to think more. Everybody is cordially invited to visit the headquarters, and to show thereby, his or her appreciation of what the Sunday Club is doing. Wednesdays is ladies' day. L-t us show our appreciation for the good things as they come. On last Sunday a large and appreciative audience sat in rapt attention and greeted Prof. C. A McDowell as he addressed the Club on "Man's Place in the Universe." Mr. McDowell handled his subject in a simple, straight forward, and yet philosophical manner, causing the audience, at times to wonder whether or not they were listening to a Butler, LeConte, or a Kant. All seemed to have been edified by the very excellent address of Mr. McDowell, and went away feeling that they had digested a great deal of sound advice on science, philosophy and metaphysics. Next Sunday, there will be a address by Miss O. E. Lincoln, one of the teachers of the Beach Institute. Let all come for a treat is promised on this occasion. Preminent Knights. "Among the men most prominent on the floor of the last Grand Lodge session ready in debate, quick at repattee, eloquent and convincing in argument, great fighters, were: N. B. B. Williamson, of Balnridge; Geo. S. Williams, of Bavannah; E. W. Sellers, of Macon, and Dr, R. C. Williams, of Augusta." The above is clipped from the Pythian column of the Georgia Baptist, and it pays a just tribute to our "George," and we take delight in reproducing it and to add that Sir Knight Williams is a true type of manhood, representative in every respect, honored and beloved by his many friends. He is desi- dened for greater things that will undoubt- dly be attained on account of his ability and the friends he makes and retains. Second Baptist Church. Second Baptist Church services were well attended during the week. Bunday services were excellent. Pastor May preached an impressive sermon at the morning hour. Communion services were well attended.

Two funerals were attended by Dr. May; the funeral of Mrs. Anna Floyd, from Second Baptist Church at 3:15 p. m. and of Mr. Alva B, Davis, son of Deacon R. M. Davis, from the family residence at 5 p. m. The fourth Sunday will be a great day at Second Baptist Church.

Allow me space in your valuable and widely read paper to state that the members and friends of St. James A. M. E. Church gave their pastor, Rev. J. A. Brockett, D. D., and his wife, a most elaborate surprise as a token of their high appreciation for the noble and herculean work he has done for them. It was a surprise indeed, for the good doctor was engaged in business meeting with the financial board of the church, when he was in the midst of this very important meeting some one dared to disturb the peace and harmony by rushing in and calling him to marry a couple that was in waiting at the home of Brother J. W. Millen, who was himself at the meeting and who had very skillfully planned the surprise. So they hastened away and met at the door by two of his officials, who said that they had some thing they wanted to leave till morning; it was a wagon loaded with hams, sugar, coffee, canned goods and everything nice too numerous to mention. The party then proceeded to Brother Millen's there to meet a crowded house of friends, who had actually slipped the organ cut of the church to use, and sweet music was rendered, Rev. J. T. Thomas, B. D., P. E., made the presentation speech in a few well chosen words in behalf of the stewards and trustees of the church. Dr. Brockett, responded in a manner befitting the occasion. He was greeted with applause at most every sentence. Mrs. Brockett, also expressed her appreciation in timely words. The following persons were present: Rev. J. T. Thomas, B. D., P. E.; Rev. J. A.

MissFrankie Orser MissPearl Ackers Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Succeeds Where Others Fall. All women work; some in their homes, some in church, and some in the whirl of society. And in stores, bills and shops tens of thousands are in the never-ceasing breadmill, earning their daily bread. All are subject to the same physical laws; all suffer alike from the same physical disturbance, and the nature of their duties, in many cases, quickly drifts them into the horrors of all kinds of female complaints, tumors, ulceration, falling and displacements or perhaps irregularity or suppression, causing beadsache, nervousness, irritability and lassitude. They especially require an invigorating, sustaining medicine which will strengthen the female organism and enable them to bear easily the fatigues of the day, to sleep well at night, and to rise refreshed and cheerful. How distressing to see a woman struggling to earn a livelihood or perform her household duties when her back and head are aching, she is so tired she can hardly drag about or stand up, and every movement causes pain, the origin of which is due to some derangement of the female organism. Miss F. Orser, of 14 Warrenton Street, Boston, tells women how to avoid such suffering; she writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "I suffered misery for several years; with female irregularities. My back ached; I had bearing-down pains, and frequent headaches; Backache gives woman some of her most miserable and wretched hours. Along with the backache, generally come headache, waist pain, falling feelings, irritability, nervousness and the blues. Have you these periodical troubles? If so, you may know that they are due to disease of some of the most important organs of your body, organs that should get help or, in time, through weakness, will wreck your health and life. Help them to health with WINE OF CARDUI WOMAN'S RELIEF Says Mrs. Blanche E. Stephanou, of 1228 S. 42nd Ave., Chicago, "'suffered miserably for five (5) years with a constant pain in my back and right side and although my husband employed several of the best doctors in this great city, not one could give me relief. At last I took Wine of Cardui, which relieved my pain, prevented an operation and restored me to health." It is a wonderful curative medicine for all womens' ills. Try it. It amused Thompson's Eye Water with wreak eyes. The coldest city in the world is Yakutsk, Eastern Siberia. Dr. Björger Huckleberry Cordial Never Falls Chahbes of Living In Battle. In Homeric days a battle was a prospect of armed mobs. The nearer you got to your assailant, the better was your chance of killing or being killed. The bigger the man, the better wary his chances in the strife. In these piping times of mechanical warfare, the situation is reversed. Battles are fought at ranges of a mile or so. The smaller the man, the less are his chances of being hit. An ingenious mathematician has figured out that perhaps the casualties on the Japanese side must have been considerably less than those of the Russians in the recent war. If it be assumed that thenermanship of each was equally good, the advantage of the Japanese was inversely as the cubes of their height and breadth. The average target is often esc to the enemy are as the cubes of 1,585 and 1,642, or as 106 to 118, an advantage in favor of the Japanese of about 12 per cent. I could not sleep and could hardly drag around. I consulted two physicians without relief, and as a last resort, I tried Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and to my surprise, every ache and pain left me. I gained ten pounds and am in perfect health. Miss Pearl Ackers, of 327 North Summer Street, Nashville, Tenn., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "I suffered with painful periods, severe backache, bearing down pain, pain across the abdomen; was wary nervous and irritable, and my trouble grew worse every month. "My physician failed to help me and I decided to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I soon found it was doing me good. All my pains and aches disappear and, I no longer fear my monthly periods." Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the unfailing cure for all these troubles. It strengthens the proper muscles, and displacement with all its horrors will no more crush you. Backache, dizziness, fainting, bearing-down pains, disordered stomach, moodiness, dislike of friends and society—all symptoms of the one cause—will be quickly dispelled, and it will make you strong and well. You can tell the story of your sufferings to a woman, and receive helpful advice free of cost. Address Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass. The present Mrs. Pinkham is the daughter-in-law of Lydia E.

Coal In a Tree. In the churchyard of a Welsh village a unique storing place is provided for coal used to heat the church during the winter months. In the churchyard stands four large yew trees, prominent landmarks known to all the villagers. But these grand old yews are not only ornamental; one, at least, serves a good purpose, for in a hollow in one of them, which is protected by a door, is stored the church's supply of coal, says Home Chat. TRANSFORMATIONS It is almost as hard for an old coffee taper to quit the use of coffee as it is for a whisky or tobacco blend to break off, except that the coffee user can quit coffee and take up Postum Food Coffee without any feeling of a loss of the morning beverage, for when Postum is well boiled and served with cream, it is really better in point of flavor than most of the coffee served nowadays, and to the taste of the coinoisseur it is like the flavor of fine dawn. 'A great transformation takes place in the body within ten days or two weeks after coffee is left off and Postum Food Coffee used, for the reason that the poison to the nerves has been discontinued and in its place is taken a liquid that contains the most powerful elements of nourishment. It is easy to make this test and prove these statements by changing from coffee Postum Food Coffee. IN THE WATER The U. S. S.

It is important in sharpening a pair of scissors that the angle at the cutting edge of the blade be uniform throughout. This is easily accomplished by the scissors sharpener illustrated below, patented by a Pennsylvanian. In this device the sharpener is drawn back and forth along the blades of the scissors, and the construction is such that an excellent bearing of the shank Sharpens the Blades. of the sharpener against the side of the blade is assured. The sharpener proper consists of a file, which is made in conjunction with a holder, the device fitting over the blade of the scissors. The file is then in a position to gye the edge of the blade of the scissors the proper angle, and as a large majority of those called upon to use the shears and scissors are of the female sex, and as they are not particularly skilled in the sharpening of scissors, this feature is important. To facilitate the use of the sharpeners the point of the blade of the scissors is forced into a convenient piece of woodwork and the handle of the blade grasped firmly, when the operator can exert considerable pressure to hold the blade firmly in one position while rubbing the sharpener back and forth over the blade. It frequently happens that the screw upon which the blades of the scissors are pivoted becomes loosened, in which event the screw driver extension is a very convenient adjunct to the sharpening device.—Philadelphia Record.

This decision was reached after a very forcible argument with our devoted spouse, who warned us in no uncertain language that we would be using some of that fair restorer on our topmost point unless we wiped it off our list altogether. As it would be a sin to waste the precious fluid in this manner we have cut it out.

Senator Hoar's Speech in Canada. At a Fourth of July celebration in a Canadian town where both English and American guests were assembled the flags of the two countries were used in decorations. A frivolous young English girl, loyal to the Queen, but with no love for the Stars and Stripes, exclaimed: "Oh, what a silly-looking thing the American flag is! It suggests nothing but checkerberry candy." "Yes," replied the late Senator Hoar, "the kind of candy that has made everybody sick who ever tried to lick it." Not All Houeless. "When you know a man is a devotee of golf," said the enthusiastic golfer, "you can be absolutely certain of his mental calibre, and be assured—" "Oh, come, I wouldn't say, that," replied the plain man. "I don't doubt: that some men play golf who are really quite sensible." -Stray Stories. DOOR. ALARM. Traveling salesmen especially do not always find locks on the doors of the rooms to which they are assigned, and the small portable alarm bell shown here would be invaluable in such instances. It can be used temporarily or permanently, and can be conveniently carried in a traveling bag. It can be attached in an instant's time to the shank of the door knob, the parts being so combined and arranged that oscillation of the door knob in either direction will cause the bell to ring. The bell is of the ordinary bicycle bell pattern, and is operated in a novel way by a push pin, the releasing of a spring ringing the bell. The bell is supported on a strip of metal, at the end of which is a clamp, the latter fitting on the handle of a door knob. Sliding on this strip of metal is a corresponding strip, having at the top the pushpin, the head of the clamp engaging with the lower end of the sliding strip. The device is first clamped to the door knob, and as soon as the latter is oscillated in either direction the knob and clamp forces the sliding strip upward, releasing the spring operating the bell. If a spring bell is used the bell will, of course, continue to ring until the spring is run down or until the knob is returned to its normal position—Philadelphia Record. ```markdown ``` Rings Automatically. weight of the bell will cause the bell to swing as far as it can go in that direction, the head of the clamp forming a pivot. The turning of the door Impitation Jewelry. "Never have I known such a craze for imitation jewelry as now," was the remark of the manager of one of the big department stores, and it only needs a glance to see that in a store where the crowds are greatest the imitation jewelry lies. "We can't supply the demand," went on the manager, "and I know it is the case not alone with us, but even more so with those firms who make a specialty of selling it alone. "Jewelers who have for years been in the business have told me that their trade has suffered greatly from this cause. Such art and skill have entered into its manufacture that in many cases it can't be told from the real, and very frequently women who can afford better things purchase the cheaper sort when some article is seen to be a passing fad. That many of the wealthy women in society have duplicates of their handsome jewelry we all know." - Philadelphia Telegraph. A Gallant Boy. A Bostonian was talking about the late Henry Harland, says the New York Tribune. "Harland was a graceful, gallant soul," he said. "Even in his boyhood days he turned the prettiest compliments. "In his boyhood he studied Latin under a charming young lady. "This young lady, calling him up in class one morning, said: "Henry, name some of the 'chief beauties of education:' ~ "The boy, smiling into his teacher's pretty eyes, answered: "‘Schoolmistresses.’" EVOLUTION Trying to Develop Specific Peculiarities. WHAT is that in the egg which enables it to develop all the qualities of the bird? Something must be there, and we may even assume that all the separate qualities displayed by the bird have their representatives in the egg. Now, if it were only possible to get at these representative particles within the egg, what changes might not be effected in the development of the bird? To take a very simple example, the peacock has a white variety, lacking the bright colors of the feathers. If in the egg of the ordinary peacock we could seize upon the representative particles of the color and impede their development, perhaps we would succeed in reproducing the white variety at once and quite artificially. Obviously this is the heart of the matter, for if once the principle should be discovered to dislocate such a representative we might apply it to numerous other instances. A white peacock would be no novelty and no gain, but we would be able to make white varieties of other birds and other animals, and perhaps even of the bright colored flowers, which until now have resisted all encavors of breeders in this line of work. Methods of attacking this problem are not at all falling. We might try to kill some of the representative particles in the egg, or to stun them, or to injure them in ever so slight a measure, so as only to retard their development. The process of the evolution of animals and plants must be attacked by direct experiment. This evolution, however, has a long history, covering many millions of years. Its historical part, of course, is not accessible to experimental work. From its innermost nature it must be studied according to historical and comparative methods. In laboratory work we may simply pass it by. After eliminating this great mass of detail concerning the pedigree of the animal and vegetable kingdom two points remain, which present themselves for experimental study. These are the beginning and the end. Obviously the real end is not yet reached. Evolution is going steadily on even now. In the same way we may assume that the beginning is not yet finished. The laws that ruled the material world some twenty or thirty millions of years ago must have been the same that are still ruling it in our days. Circumstances may have changed, but it is not very probable that those which permitted life at the beginning and those which have made it possible during the long geological ages should have been widely different. On the contrary, it seems only natural to assume that new life may nowadays originate as well as in former times. It is only a question of where we are to look for it. On this very difficult point I like to be guided by the genial conceptions of Brooks. In his "Foundations of Zoology" he depicts the primeval seas and their living population. All life must have been limited at those early periods to the high sea; all organisms were floating; amid the waves, going only to a depth of some few metres. Here the mafnia lines of the animal and vegetable pedigree must have been produced, starting the great divisions of both kingdoms. The only exceptions are offered by the flowering plants and the vertebrate animals, which seem to have originated on the shores or perhaps on the land itself. As long as all life was in this floating condition evolution proceeded rapidly and broadened out. Then came a period when, as Brooks says, the organic world made the discovery of the possibility of living on the bottom of the sea, feeding on the sinking remains of the floating world. This great change was the starting point for numerous adaptations and for the evolution of a richness of forms and structures, but without the previous progress in the production of many really new divisions. The experience of agriculturists and horticulturists has long since established the fact that new forms of animals and plants from time to time arise. How they originate is another question, which it is not the task of practice, but of science, to answer. The fact, however, is undeniable, and all observations point to sudden changes or so-called sports as the first beginning. Especially in the dominion of horticulture Korshinsky has shown, How Herbert Spencer Painted His Carpet In Harper's Magazine appears an article on "Home Life With Herbert Spencer," written by two friends-who lived with him. It reveals a new and amusing side of the great thinker's character. Here is one of the incidents: "The pattern of his drawing room carpet began to fade when it had only been down a few months. It consisted, or rather had consisted, of clusters of blue flowers on a drabbish ground. Now, with the principal color gone, it had become far too dull for the taste of that lover of brightness. He therefore conceived the unique idea of having each flower stamped over with red ink. For this purpose he invented a small tin tray, which was so made that it stood quite flat on the floor to prevent any possibility of the ink being split or dropped about. Bent in it were little wells about as large round and, twice as thick as a halfpenny. These depressions were filled with the liquid. "The semempress—whom he was always glad of an excuse to employ be- by an ample critical survey of the historical evidence, that sudden sports are the prevailing rule and probably even the exclusive manner of originating new varieties. Such considerations have led to the conviction that what occurs in horticulture must also occur in the experimental garden. If the conditions are the same, why should not the phenomena be the same, too? If mutations are rare in horticulture, the experimenter has only to arrange his work so as to be able to detect rare occurrences in his cultures, too. In doing this I have succeeded in observing mutations quite anomalous to the horticultural instances and collecting all the evidence concerning their ancestry and their descendants, as well as concerning the mode of their appearance. Moreover, I have had the good fortune of discovering a wild plant which is even yet in a condition of mutability. Yearly it is observed to produce new species. It is the large flowering evening primrose, which bears the name of Lamarck, the founder of the theory of evolution. It clearly shows how new species arise from an old stock not by continuous and slow changes but suddenly. The stock itself is not altered by the process nor even noticeably diminished. The new species which it produces arise on all sides. Some of them are in a higher, others in a lesser degree, fit for their life conditions; some persist during years, while others disappear nearly as soon as they arise. This instance of experimental mutation is found largely to agree with the experience of breeders, especially in horticulture, and likewise with the conclusions that have been drawn from comparative studies. The assumption that those species and genera which now consist of large groups of closely allied forms have originated in the same way seems quite undeniable; and as soon as the validity of this generalization is granted for these cases it will have to be considered of general, if not universal bearing. Two main lines have to be distinguished: to study the phenomenon itself and that of its causes. Mutations, of course, cannot be assumed to be a special feature of the evening primroses. They must occur elsewhere, too, and these must be sought. One or two novelties among thousands of individuals of the common type are not easily found, especially where the differences are slight and new and thereby apt to be overlooked. No differentiating remarks, however silent, should be considered as insignificant. All aberrant individuals should be planted separately and protected with all the care required to insure the fullest development. Many of them afterward prove to be only fluctuating variants or to have deceived the experimenter. They are simply discarded. It is quite sufficient if some remain and prove to be mutants. As soon as in this manner a mutable strain will be discovered, the greater part of the other species may be excluded, although the search for new mutable species should never be wholly neglected. Each year some new forms should be taken into culture, in order to have sufficient chances of gradually increasing the evidence concerning the occurrence of mutability in nature. The chief objects of this inquiry, however, must be study of the mutable strain itself. Some of its seeds yield new species, while others are more conservative. Thence the question, Which seeds mutate and by which causes are they elected to do so? The location of the mutating seeds within the fruit, the position of the preferred fruits on the spikes, the influence of the individual strength of the sundry branches and many other points have to be investigated. Further, it is probable that the degree of mutability, or, in other words, the yield of mutating seeds, is more or less dependent on the outer life conditions. Thence the necessity of studying the influence of culture in general, of light and heat, of soil and water, and last, but not least, of manure. Extreme combinations of these factors should be tried to see whether perhaps they may give extreme results. Underlying all and directing all the efforts should be the hope of obtaining such a knowledge of the phenomenon as would enable us to take the whole guidance of it into our own hands.—Scientific American. cause she was so hard-working and so poor—was soon set to carry out his plan. Down on her knees she had to go, and as she was decidedly stout, it was no light task. With a cork cut the exact size and dipped in the ink, she pressed firmly down on each flower, thus leaving it as it covered with red cherries. No wonder it took her over a week, working all day, for the carpet was from twenty-five to thirty feet long and proportionately wide." Pretty Wedding Custom- In some parts of the Tyrol a beautiful, though curious, custom prevails. When a girl is going to be married and just before she leaves for the church her mother gives her a handkerchief, which is called a tear-kerchief. It is made of newly-spun and unused linen, and with it the girl dries the natural tears she sheds on leaving home. The tear-kerchief is never used after the marriage day, but is folded up and placed in the linen closet, where it remains till its owner's death, when it is taken from its place and spread over her face. ee - THE-PULPIT, ACSCHOLARLY SUNDAY, SERMON BY - DR.

His followers suffered, but in the sign of the cross they conquered. Our forefathers bravely followed the guiding star to the summit cf the Alle ghany Mountains and fixed the west- ern boundary of the new republié; but the years pushed the frontiars west- ward, and when at last against the prophecies of American statesmen the plains were crossed by the intrepid Pioneer, then autocratic lawmakers defiantly announced that the serrated peaks cf the Rocky Mountains would outline the western boundary of the paticn, but steadily and gracefully moved that point of light until at last it mingled its silver beams with the golden embroldery of the sunset coast. ‘Then even the wisest of modern magi thought that the starof empire had become a fixed star, but fatthfally it as pursued its noiseless tread until to-day it is brilliantly’ shining above eastern archipelagoes and continents. ‘We are the,creatures of that star and must keep up with {ts aerial fight, for wherever it lingers there is another Betblekem's cradle and another advent bymo. ‘Within the lifetime of many here present the star appeared in the <slatic beavens and the angel choir again sang “Glory to God in the high- est, on earth peace, good will to men.” The year 1838 has been called the Annus Mirabilis of modern missions, and truly it was a “year “wonderful,” for the doors were opened to one thou- sand million of the human race.

They are an educated people. ‘All candidates for official position—which 4s said to be the universal ambition of all citizens—must pass difficult exam- {nations.

They have won thelr way by venerable age to everything which Occidental na- #ons can do for\them, Confucianism, with its negative virtues, and Bud- dhism, with {ts Intangible mysteries, have been tried and found wanting. May China not be a natlan which is to be born in a day? There is a tra- ditlon that the Apostle‘Thomas carried the-Gospel first to China. As early as 1288 Pope Nicholas sent misslonaries to China. There is a God in Heaven who has not forgotten the Chinaman. Avhat shall I say of Japan, the land of little people and of great deeds; of culture and courtesy, with a population of 45,000,000 living among 4000 islands whose area is 162,000 square miles— about three times the size of the State of New York? A phenomenal uation, Only thirty years ago it was a crime to accept Christianity in Japsn. In 1860 an English sailing ship fost re- turning from the Orient reached the Thames. On board were two Japanese youths, who had worked their way ‘before the mast. Disconsolate and alone, they went to bed supperless that first aga because all the crew had ‘gone ashore, A few morths ago one of those Japanese boys again returned to Great Britain. ‘This time he was ‘welcomed by the Lord Mayor and a ‘distinguished company’ of such men as the Duke of Argyll and Lord Rose- bery. He came as the guest of the city of London, and was lavishly en- tertained at the Mansicn House. He was Marquis Ito, who bas been four times the Prime Minister of Japan. ‘This is a romantic epitome of the na- tion of Japan, Many of its statesmen are Christians. Admiral Togo has a Christian wife, and is himself not a pagan. In the recent war the bravest generals were Christian mén. Japan was pagan yesterday, it is agnostic to- day, to-morrow it will be Christian.

Schieren, of Brooklyn. N this progressive age there seems to be nothing so available to a young man as a thorough college education; in fact, we owe very much of our present prosperous condition and marvelous development of the resources of our country to our educational institutions. In former years we did not consider it necessary for a young man in ordinary business pursuits to receive a college education, in fact, it was deemed rather a detriment, because it consumed money and valuable time; but business methods have changed and the aggregation of wealth and the growth of industries and large corporations require extraordinary ability and knowledge. It is necessary for young men to have higher education to properly fill large and responsible positions and conduct the affairs of such large corporations. In former years a business man would write most of the correspondence of his business, today he simply dictates his letters to a stenographer. While it may appear an easier way, still it requires greater training to dictate and frame the letter properly, because he must think quicker. He also needs higher education and commercial training which a public school hardly provides, but which may be obtained at a college. It is claimed by some business men that college-bred men are impractical, and prefer to train young men themselves for office work. While it may be true that a young man just graduated from college is handicapped when he enters upon a business career, and it may take him some time to master the details of the business, his college education will, however, be a great aid, and with a thoroughly trained mind he will grasp the situation quicker and make greater progress than will an untrained clerk. Therefore, in ordinary business life a college education may be of value. It is true that many prominent and successful men in our commercial and financial world have had no college education, they received only an ordinary education, but most of these men readily acknowledge that their lack of a thorough education is a handicap in many ways in their business. With the constant growth of large corporations, where a man of extraordinary ability is required to conduct the business, it is not surprising to find so many young college men at the head of these large enterprises. I thoroughly believe in education. We cannot have too much of it nor too many educational institutions. I am glad to see so many prosperous colleges, because it means stability in the affairs of this country and its social and commercial welfare. We lead in many things in this country, especially in labor saving devices, handled by the most skillful and ingenious mechanics. Our inventive genius is unsurpassed anywhere, but we are still behind in the science of chemistry, which requires extraordinary ability and education. We have made wonderful progress in our schools and colleges, and no doubt will also in due time conquer in the art of chemistry. We, therefore, welcome all efforts to improve our colleges. Railroad Pessimists By George Horace Lorimer. HE trouble with many railroad men is that they are pessimists. They will not look on the bright side of the rate-regulating business. It is true, as they lugubriously point out, that the roads, under their uncontrolled management, have developed a splendid efficiency in operation, moving trains faster and cheaper than anywhere else in the world. But, bless their hearts, all this good will be saved after the government has taken a hand in rate-making, where they have signally, egregiously, confessedly failed. T Figs do grow tired. Its Creed that was in the transital lines, ago, in Chicago plaint city cont under the wide-ten of subways, prise was called city full superv which will be unique undergrou of important pr valuable in the The railroad complished in the competent, will making field, whi This view in tervention is not that the roads wied—Philladelphi (From an Figs do grow from thistles. The Union Pacific was rather sinfully nurtured. Its Credit Mobilier scandal shocked the country. But the real good that was in the enterprise remained. It led the way for the other trans-continental lines, and performed a highly valuable public service. A few years ago, in Chicago, an enterprising quasi-political crowd procured from a complaisant city council an ordinance for a pretended competing telephone plant, under the wide-open terms of which they cheerfully began constructing a system of subways beneath the city street. Public temper changed. The enterprise was called to a halt and forced to accept an amended grant, giving the city full supervision. Some twenty miles of tunnels have been constructed, which will become the property of the municipality and which will give a unique underground method of freight and parcel transportation that will be of important public benefit. Instances might be multiplied. Whatever is valuable in the Standard Oil and beef organizations will be saved. The railroad men must cheer up. Assuredly the good that they have accomplished in the operating field, where they admittedly have been highly competent, will not be lost because the government intervenes in the rate-making field, where they have admittedly been incompetent. This view is urged upon them because their objection to government intervention is not selfish, but is based, as they point out, upon patriotic fear that the roads will be made less efficient thereby. This fears quite unfounded.—Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post. Life's All a Bluff By Richard Mansfield, Actor. (From an Address to Students of the University of Pennsylvania.) IFE'S a bluff and if you're wise to the game you'll bluff with the rest of humanity. The difference between the man off the stage and the man on it is often merely that the first acts, while the other acts acting. L Mr. Thomas Lawson, if he had studied the art of acting would have found his complaints ridiculous. A fly ought to know a spider when he sees one, and if he shows the habits of a spider he mustn't walk into the parlor and then complain because the spider bites pieces out of him. I have noted ordinary child at before you today eyes, with an ab all the departed do in these cloth pression on my f I have noted the grave disappointment if any personage behaves as an ordinary child at any public function. I have no doubt that if I had appeared before you today with a black curl over my brow, with long face and brooding eyes, with an absent-minded air as if I were communing with the spirits of all the departed poets, I would have made a deeper impression on you than I do in these clothes, which convention compels me to wear, and with an expression on my face of a child that is badly scared—which I am. Each man who has made his mark has chosen his character—the character best adapted to him—and has played it. Abraham Lincoln had his idiosyncrasies, his gestures; Daniel Webster never, never lost an opportunity to act, and Grant chose for model William of Orange, surnamed the Silent. The first thing a man thinks of when he has to face an ordeal, be it a coronation or an execution, is, "How am I going to look? Shall I appear calm and dignified or happy and pleased?" We are apt to say, "Be natural!" As a matter of fact, is man ever natural? The bravest man is the man who is afraid, and yet faces danger. If he were entirely natural he would run away. He acts the part of a brave man. Actors on the stage are scarce. Actors off the stage are plentiful. Life insurance presidents, with directors and trustees have been busy acting their several parts, and are now busy unacting them. Men are so occupied from childhood with the almighty dollar that imagination is dying out, and imagination is necessary to make a poet and an actor. The art of acting is the crystallization of all the arts. It is, therefore, the most difficult of all the arts. Mediocrities houses no opposition, but strong individualities and forcible opinions make enemies. Many an actor has set out with an ideal, but failing to gain general favor has abandoned it for the easier method of winning popular acclaim. Oil Combine Resorts to Many Bunco Tricks to Kill Constitution—More Sensational Evidence A Chicago disatch says: Despite the objections of the counsel for the Standard Oil company, F. S. Kibbs or Peoria and for thirteen years an employee of the Standard Oil company, was permitted Saturday by the interstate commerce commission to illustrate a number of tricks, which, the witness says, were used by salesmen and agents of the Standard Oil company. "In testing the oil of a rival company," said Mr. Hibbs, "we used a new chimney and the magnesia in the glass made the chimney look cloudy. For our own use we had an old chimney, with the wick perfectly dried and not too long. We used to rub a moistened finger across the wick of the competitor, and after it burned a short time the damp spot would be reached, the light would grow dim, and there would be a sputtering. All this time our light would be burning brightly. "Our wicks were trimmed so as to make a thin flame, and those of the competitors we trimmed so as to make a thick flame. The thinner the flame, the whiter the light. Then we would often bend down, the lower part of the burner and let air in under the chimney, which would cause the lamp to smoke. Sometimes we would fill up some of the ventilating holes around the burner with chewing gum. "I only resorted to these tricks when a competitor was selling oil in a town and I wanted to get rid of him." "Do the agents of the Standard Oil company still practice the tactics you have mentioned in meeting competition?" asked Attorney Monnet. "Yes. They are doing it today," replied the witness. "They pay rebates, bribe people, cut the price and substitute an inferior quality of oil and in fact do anything necessary to get the business and put the competitor out of the way." The witness then told of a dinner given in Peorla by C. T. Hand, manager of the Cincinnati office of the Standard Oil cor- ny, at which the different methods of getting business were discussed. The witness said that Manager Hand related how Robert Carlyle, a salesman, had used $100 in getting a certain customer and that it was a good investment. The money was used in bribing the employees of the firm using the oil. Another instance was cited where the engineer of a large plant was bribed by agents of the Standard Oil company to put grit in the oil sold by a rival. The witness gave specific instances where he had bribed railroad employees while he was in the employ of the Standard Oil company to get information regarding shipments made by the Royal Oil company. He said the company always urged agents never to remember names or facts connected with the work of obtaining information about the business of rivals. Attorney Monnett then attempted to show that the Standard Oil company did less than 10 per cent of the taxes it should pay under the law, but Commissioner Clements ruled the commission could not properly go into that matter in the present inquiry. Wholesale bribery of ministers and priests by agents of the Standard Oil company was another sensational revelation made before the commission. Letters and other documentary evidence that showed how the Ohio ministry had not only accepted, but in several instances had solicited insignificant bribes, was brought out to the amazement of scores of auditors. The ministerial agents were to give them free oil for their churches and their personal use. In return the preachers advocated among their parishioners the use of only Standard Oil to the exclusion of competitive oils. Also, according to the letters shown, many of them gave "testimonials" to salesmen of the Standard Oil trust. GENERAL WHARTON DEAD. Vallant Soldier and Prominent Citizen of Southwest Virginia.

Is Order to Czar from Russian Parliament. AMNESTY IS IMPERATIVE Address In Reply to Speech from the Throne is Formulated --- Ten Important Demands Are A St. Petersburg special says: The draft of the address to the throne, in reply to the emperor's speech at the opening of parliament, was submitted to the lower house of parliament Tuesday by the commission. It consists practically of the following ten demands: First—General amnesty. Second—The abolition of the death penalty. Third—Suspension of martial law and all exceptional laws. Fourth—Full civil liberty. Fifth—The abolition of the council of the empire. Sixth—The revision of the fundamental law. Seventh—The establishment of the responsibility of ministers. Eighth—The right of interpellation. Ninth—Forced expropriation of land. Tenth—Guarantees of the rights of trades-unions. Before the house convened the cabinet virtually had decided on amnesty for political prisoners with the exception of those charged with murder, attempted murder, or robbery. While partial amnesty might have made a deep, potential impression, had the emperor signalized the occasion of the assembling of parliament by such an act of grace, its favorable effect will be largely destroyed when thus forced from his hands. There was a long wrangle at the opening of the session over the question of parliamentary procedure, etc., no rules to govern the house having been adopted. The address in reply to the speech from the throne says: "It has pleased your majesty in your speech addressed to the people's representatives, to express your determination unshakably to preserve the institutions whereby the people have been called to exercise legislative power in conjunction with their monarch. The parliament regards the menarch's formal promise to the people as a sure pledge of that consolidation and of the further development of order and legislation in accordance with a strictly constitutional basis." The reply to the speech concludes as follows: "On the threshold of our labors, one question agitates the soul of the whole Russian population and prevents us from calmly entering upon our legislative work. The first word pronounced in parliament was amnesty. It was met with cries of sympathy. The country is thirsting for it. It is a demand of the people's conscience which it is impossible to refuse or delay. Sire, the parliament awaits full political amnesty as the first pledge of a mutual understanding in the future and concord between the emperor and the people."

MADMAN RUN8 AMUCK. Telegraph Operator Kills. One Man and Wounds Several Others. Crazed by drink and inflamed with revenge for being follied in his infatuation for a 14-year-old girl, James H. Clark, the night telegraph operator at Chamlee, Ga., a station on the Southern railway, near Atlanta, ran anuck Monday night, and early Tuesday morning killed one man, shot five others, threatened the lives of several women, including the young girl with whom he was infatuated madly, set fire to a house crowded with women and children who were seeking safety from his bullets and then fled into Dunwoodie, five miles distant, left death in his wake and escaped to the woods, where he shot himself rather than surrender to a posse. As a result of the reign of terror, the villages of Chamlee and Dunwoodie and the northern and eastern sections of DeKalb county were inflamed with excitement and alarm. Clark's victims were: William J. Cheek, merchant at Dunwoodie, shot through the heart and killed; J. W. Purcell, brother-in-law of the girl Clark loved, shot in the hip and seriously wounded; E. S. Purcell, father of J. W. Purcell, shot in the hand; Frank Bolton, shot in the side with birdshot and slightly injured; Will Coker, of Dunwoodie, hit over the head with a shotgun and painfully hurt; W. S. Mask, day operator at Chamlee, shot in the arm and slightly injured. Clark, who was twenty-seven years of age, a victim of white swelling for years and more recently near death from meningitis, had followed the insane and abnormal hallucination that little Annie Gay, fourteen years of age, was in love with him, and that her relatives and others were interfering.
