GUANO MEN GAFFED
Scores of Corporations and Individuals Indicted.
In Restraint of Trade, Made by Government—Case Considered Four Weeks by Federal Grand Jury at Nashville, Tenn.
The federal grand jury at Nashville, Tenn., which has been investigating the alleged fertilizer trust for the past four weeks, concluded its investigation Thursday afternoon and returned in open court Friday morning an indictment against about 80 fertilizer manufacturers, including a number of local men. The indictment contains six counts detailing in specific form alleged violations of the anti-trust laws and charging the defendants with combining and being engaged in a trust or combination.
The defendants live in various parts of the country, where fertilizers are manufactured and certified copies of the indictment will be sent to the various districts in which the defendants reside, and there served. The defendants will be required to execute bonds for appearance at the October term of court in Nashville, where the cases are to be tried. The grand jury examined during the investigation 140 witnesses and the indictment returned is a voluminous document.
The attorneys for the defendants were present in court Friday when the indictments were returned, and immediately after they held a consultation as to what should be the course to pursue in regard to their clients.
Four weeks were taken up on the investigation, and the cost of the investigation was about $7,000.
The six counts in the indictment are in a double series of three each. The first charge the defendants with engaging in a conspiracy; the second count charges the defendant with conspiracy; and the third with spiring under section 5440 revised statutes to commit the offense of engaging in a combination as defined by the Sherman law.
The punishment under section 5440 is two years in prison and $10,000 fine. The third count is new in form and procedure. It charges the committing of an offense against the United States of engaging in a combination in restraint of trade as defined and prohibited by the Sherman act.
The style of the case on the docket indictment is United States vs. Virginia-Carolina Chemical Company, et al., and the indictment is described as "indictment for violating act of congress, approved July 2, 1890, and entitled 'an act to protect the trade and commerce against unlawful restraints and monopolies,' and section 5440 revised statutes United States."
NO GRAFT: NO BUSINESS.
Goal Company Ruined by Roads Through Wiltholding Care.
Several interesting developments marked the closing session at Philadelphia of the interstate commerce commission's investigation into the alleged discrimination by railroads in the distribution of cars in the bituminous coal fields.
Sensational testimony was given by the general manager of the Reakent Brothers' company, coal operators. He stated that within the last two and a half years his company's car supply had been so inadequate that the business had been practically ruined. He declared that other companies had been favored in the distribution of cars, and said he had no doubt that discrimination had been practiced against his company, because it had failed to make gifts of stock to the railroad officials. He gave it as his opinion that President A. J. Cassatt was responsible for the alleged discrimination.
BLUEJACKETS READY TO REVOLT

The arsenal and all the official buildings and residences are doubly guarded. Three of those who were wounded at Sebastopol, May 7, by the explosion of bombs succumbed Tuesday, making a total of twelve deaths.
SAVANNAH. GA. SATURDAY. JUNE 2, 1906.
MORE TROUBLE IN HOUSE.
Mesers. Hepburn and Cooper Clash Over Question of Veracity-Lie Microbe Seems Prevalent.
A Washington special says: Some where down deep in the vitals of the rate bill the lie microbe seems to be imbedded. Every time the bill is given a good, sharp shake that microbe is brought to the front to disturb legislative tranquility. Last week the prevarication bug was busy at the senate end of the capitol, and at every turn the country heard about deliberate, willful and malicious liars. Just to show that it knows no favorites, the lie microbe got busy in the house at Friday's session, and succeeded in furnishing another sensational scene. This time the dramatis personae were chairman Pete Hephurn of the interestate commerce committee, whose name the impregnated bill bears, and the stately and scholarly Representative Cooper of Wisconsin.
Did or did not Chairman Hepburn give somebody assurance that the conferees upon the rate bill would see to it that express companies would be taken out of the rate bill? Representative Cooper told the house that he had been told Colonel Hepburn did give such assurance. He did not tell who had told him this, but vouched for the standing of the men who had told him. Colonel Hepburn did not resort to the good old English word "illar" in branding this false, but he said as much in other language, and sald, moreover that unless Mr. Cooper did give his authority he would be compelled to believe the whole thing was a figment of the Wisconsin man's imagination.
Then the situation became red-hot. Shaking his fists at Cooper, he declared this to be the first time in his life, in congress or out of it, that any man had impugned his veracity. The two men, who have seats not far apart on the republican side, were at white heat, and a personal clash was feared. Oil was finally poured upon the troubled waters, but there were no retractions.
BY FAIR MEANS OR FOUL.
Sples of Standard Oil Instructed to Knock Out Competitors.
A total of nineteen witnesses were called by Interstate Commerce Commissioners Prouty and Clements in the Standard Oil inquiry, which begun in Cleveland, Ohio, Friday. The testimony of George Lane of Massefield, Ohio, a former employee of the Standard Oil company, was regarded as particularly important. According to his evidence, Lane was for about fourteen months in 1901 and 1902 employed by the Standard Oil company for the particular purpose of driving all of the independent oil dealers in a dozen or more of the principal cities and towns of northern Ohio out of business.
He said he was employed by C. M. Lyons of the Cleveland office of the Standard Oil company, to go to certain designated places and use every means, fair or foul, to force the independents to quit.
PURCHASED BY SOUTHERN.
Bhp Yard Property at Richmond Secured for Extension Plans.
It is authoritatively stated that the Southern railway company has purchased the old Trigg ship yard property at Richmond, for extension of its local track and warehouse facilities. The property acquired covers 16 acres of land lying between the city docks and the James river. The price paid is said to have been $107,000.
CANNOT TRANSPORT BOOZE.
Mississippi Law is Upheld by Court in Kansas City.
Judge Smith McPherson, in the United States district court at Kansas City, Friday, refused to grant an injunction sought by the Harvest King Distilling company of Kansas City, which asked that the American Express company be restrained from refusing to transport packages destined to Mississippi.
TWENTY YEARS FOR YEGGMEN.
Clark and Newman Convicted in Forsyth Court of Burglary.
Charles H. Clark and Thomas Newman were sentenced to twenty years each in the penitentiary by Judge Reagan at Forsyth, Ga., Friday morning for burglarizing the Trio Manufacturing company's office last September.
Newman and Clark are also charged with assaulting and robbing the night marshal, J. M. McMichael, who on the night of the Trio robbery they bound and gagged, he being found; in a dying condition next morning.
ROW IN CONVENTION
Tennessee Democrats Engage in Free-for-All Fight.
POLICE ARE CALLLD IN
First Day's Session of State Convention Broke on Selection of Temporary Chairman and Turbu-
- The Tennessee state democratic convention which met in Nashville to nominate candidates for governor and railroad commissioners adjourned at 6:10 Tuesday until 10 o'clock Wednesday, without having even effected temporary organization. It was decidedly the most turbulent body of the kind that ever assembled in Tennessee. Pandemonium and free fights were the rule, and it was with the utmost difficulty that any sort of record of proceedings could be made.
Adjournment was reached after an understanding was effected between the leaders of opposing factions that the three gubernatorial candidates, Governor John I. ox, Congressman Malcolm R. Patterson and Judge Jno. R. Bond, each name four representatives, who should constitute a committee to decide on a temporary chairman.
Before this agreement was effected the battle over contested delegations occupied the entire time of the convention, which is the largest in the history of Tennessee politics.
The services of the police were necessary from the outset. Vice Chairman W. K. Abernathy of the state committee called the convention to order at noon. There was confusion from the very outset, and when the roll call of the counties for selection of temporary chairman began, the uproar steadily increased. Challenges opened with Crocket county, and when Davidson was reached a battle royal was on, the wildest excitement prevailing. The county was finally passed, the contest going to the committee on credentials to be named later, and slowly the roll call proceeded, every move marking a fresh contest. Though Chairman Abernathy is a splendid presiding officer, he was often swept aside by the tempest, and, with many speaking and shouting from various parts of the hall, none could be heard.
Once the chairman laid down the gavel and advanced to the front of the stage, as he said, to make himself heard. When he went back for the gavel Luke Lea of Davidson county, a Patterson supporter, had it and was essaying to act as presiding officer. Abernathy protested. Lea was obdurate, and from then on there were two presiding officers, and pandemium on the floor. At length a council of war between the leaders brought about a temporary truce, and adjournment followed.
At 3:30 o'clock Chairman Abernathy left the chair and refused to further preside. The scene following beggars description. Several personal encounters followed, and one man was belabored over the head with a stick. The police were called upon to interfere, but it was some minutes before they could quell the disturbance. An attempt was made to assault Chairman Abernathy, but it was prevented by the timely interference of friends. At that time the convention hall had the appearance of a free-for-all fight being in progress.
TO MEET TROLLEY RATES.
Western and Atlantic Railway Will Make Reduction In Fares.
It was announced in Atlanta Tuesday that the Western and Atlantic railroad will reduce its rates from Atlanta to Marietta to those charged by the street car line between these two points.
COLLISION MANGLES EIGHT.
Deadly Accident Occurs on L. & N. Road at Louisville.
Eight persons were killed and twenty-two injured by the derailment of two coaches of a passenger train on the Louisville and Nashville railroad at Louisville, Ky., Monday. The train left Knoxville Sunday night, was on time and was nearing the union station in Louisville at a moderate speed when a flange on a wheel of the smoking car broke, throwing open a switch and causing two of the coaches to "side-swipe" a cut of box cars on a sliding.
BOMB-THROWING BEGINS.
Deadly Work Done by Russian Terrorists in Sebastopol and Tiflis. Many Persons Are Killed.
Several bombs were thrown in Sebastopol Sunday while a review of troops was being held after the Te Deum in celebration of the anniversary of Emperor Nicholas' coronation. Three persons were killed and several wounded. Among the wounded were the commander of the fortress, General Neptueff, and the chief of police. Other high dignitaries escaped. Vice Admiral Choukmin, commanding the black sea fleet, who is a special subject for terrorist revenge, was not present. Two of the bomb throwers were arrested.
Dispatches received in St. Petersburg concerning the affair say that eleven persons were killed,including five children, and that over a hundred persons were wounded. The dispatches also say that four arrests were made.
An outbreak is also reported at Tiflis, the dispatch stating that while Governor General Timosieff and Chief of Police Martinoff were out driving bombs were thrown at them. Neither was injured, but a Cossack belonging to the escort was killed. The crime was attempted in the center of the town, a few rods from the scene of the assassination of General Griaznoff, chief of staff of the viceroy of the Caucasus, who was killed by a bomb explosion January 9th last. General Timosieff and Chief of Police Martinoff were riding in separate carriages. They were on their way to attend the coronation Te Deum at the cathedral. Two bombs were thrown simultaneously, one of them falling to explode. Chief of Police Martinoff, who was riding with his revolver in hand, shot and instantly killed one of the terrorists, but the other escaped. Governor General Timosieff's coachman was wounded. The city is agitated, fearing an armed outbreak.
Shataloff, warden of the city prison in St. Petersburg, was shot four times Sunday, and mortally wounded by an 18-year-old youth, who was executing a serial revolutionist sentence in revenge for Shataloff's bad treatment of political prisoners. The assassin, whose name is Skutlmin, killed a beggar who tried to stop him, but afterwards was arrested.
FIVE KILLED BY LIGHTNING.
Deadly Bolt Breaks Up a Sunday Ball Game Near Mobile.
Near Mobile, Ala., Sunday afternoon during the progress of a ball game in an open field, a thunderstorm came up, accompanied by vivid lightning, which struck in the midst of the crowd of spectators, instantly killing five and injuring some twenty-five more or less seriously. The dead included three white boys and two negroes.
Three men were seriously hurt, while there were at least fifteen or twenty others who were shocked and knocked down by the stroke, who knocked down by the stroke, who quickly recovered and were able to leave the scene. The field was strewn with bits of shoes and clothing from those who were killed or seriously injured and the bodies of the dead presented a spectacle, being burned in numerous places. A silvery dollar taken from the pocket of one of the victims was melted on both faces.
Condemned Murderer Makes His Escape from Mislasialis Jail.
R. O. Daniel, under sentence of death at Hattiesburg, Miss., for the murder of Ed Bordsley, cut his way through the rock wall of the fall Saturday night and escaped. The escape was made possible because the jailer neglected to lock the prisoner in the steel cage in which he had been kept at night. A carriage was seen in the vicinity of the fall at midnight, and it is supposed it was waiting for Daniel.
JAPS TOUR MANCHURIA.
Togo, Kuroki and Ito Will Make Investigation of That Region. A Tokio dispatch says: Vice Admiral Togo, General Kuroki and Marquis Ito, with a suite of admirals and generals, will start shortly on a tour of inspection of Manchuria. This inspection is supposed to be the outcome of the recent state council, at which, though the details have not yet become known, it is understood weighty decisions were reached respecting the Manchurian railways which are intended to be permanently run by-the government.
MOVE ON LYNCHERS
Made By Uncle Sam Through Attorney General Moody.
JOHNSON AFFAIR AGAIN
Non-Indictment of Prominent Chattanooga Citizens by Grand Jury Cause Government to Take
A Washington special says: The government has taken steps to punish the persons who are responsible for the lynching in Chattanooga, Tenn., on March 19, last, of the negro, Ed Johnson, who, under sentence of death for rape, had been allowed an appeal by the United States supreme court from the circuit court of the United States for the eastern circuit of Tennessee. In the supreme court, early Monday Attorney General Moody filed an information requesting that, in consideration of the acts committed by the patries named, it issue a rule on each of them to show cause why they should not be punished for contempt of court.
The persons named as defendants are John F. Shipp, Frank Jones, Matthew Galloway, C. A. Baker, T. B. Taylor, Fred Frauley, George Brown, Jeremiah Gibson, Marion Perkins, Joseph Clarke, "Nick" Nolan, "Shenle" Warner, Luther Williams, Paul Pool, William Marquiette, William Beeler, Claude Powell, Charles J. Powell, "Bart" Justice, John Jones, A. J. Cartwright, R. F. Cartwright, Henry Padgett, William May, Frank Ward, John Varnell and Alfred Hammond.
After reciting the facts of the arrest, conviction and sentence of Johnson, the denial of his petition, among other things, that the petitioner had been denied a trial by a fair and impartial jury and had been denied the aid of counsel, in violation of the fifth and sixth amendments to the constitution and other rights under the fourteenth amendment, and the order of the court of March 19, allowing the appeal to the supreme court, and the fact of the telegraphing of the order of the court to John F. Shipp, sheriff of Hamilton county, who had Johnson in charge, and the publication of the action of the court in the Chattanooga evening papers on that date, the attorney stated that the sheriff and his deputies had every reason to believe, from current reports and rumors conveyed to them, that an attempt would be made to lynch Johnson, and that notwithstanding these facts, the sheriff withdrew from the jail early in the evening of the 19th the usual guard and left in charge only the night jailer, Deputy Sheriff Gibson.
The facts attending the lynching are given in the information filed and the statement is made that, although Sheriff Shipp returned to the jail while it was in possession of a mob, neither he nor Deputy Gibson did anything to prevent the lynching, but, in fact, aided those engaged in it. The attorney general closed as follows:
"Wherefore the United States of America, the complainants herein, through their attorney general, respectfully request this honorable court that, in consideration of the acts committed by the above named defendants and each of them, as hereinbefore set forth, it will issue and direct the marshal of the court to serve on said defendants and each of them a rule to show cause, if any there be, on a certain day, why said defendants and each of them should not be punished as and for a contempt of this honorable court." The court granted leave to file as requested, making the rule returnable on the second Monday of the next term of court, October 15, next.
The action of the attorney general came as a surprise to the people of Chattanooga, the grand jury having failed to find an indictment against the lynchers of Johnson, although strongly charged by Judge McReynolds. It is supposed that the evidence adduced was insufficient to make out a case against any suspect. Ten of the men named by the attorney general are officials, the sheriff and his deputies. The others are not widely known or prominent.
Shoe Manufacturers Assign.
William Porter & Son, one of the oldest shoe manufacturing firms in Lynn, Mass., assigned Monday with liabilities estimated at about $100,000. It is said the high price of leather and restricted credit caused the assignment.
SOLONS BIFF "UNCLE JOE"
Arrest and Hailing of Democratic Members Before Bar of House Causes Exciting Protest.
A Washington dispatch says: An experience meeting was held Tuesday in the house of representatives. It grew out of arrests made by the sergeant at arms and his officers and halting members before the bar of the house in order to complete a quorum under a call of the house Monday evening. The journal set forth the names of the members who had been placed under arrest and permitted to vote.
Mr. Galnes of Tennessee stated that he had left the house at 6 o'clock p.m. upon a mission of humanity to inquire after a sick brother. He had gone to his house and was notified that a "call of the house" was on. He went into the cafe at his hotel and saw a number of members there and notified them that there was a call for a quorum.
He responded with others and was overtaken by an officer of the house who placed him under arrest, and he was presented to the bar of the house. He wanted to take this opportunity to ask why the democrats were singled out for arrest, and the republicans immune, and he desired to serve notice that officers of the house must treat all alike. So far as he was concerned, he did not care for the arrest, for he was doing a duty to the slick, which he would do again, house or no house.
Mr. Rucker of Missouri, another of those brought before the house, followed similar lines, except to call the sergeant at arms a "usurper with no authority to arrest."
He told hom a member of the president's family last week (meaning Mr. Longworth), with a number of members under a call of the house had been "arrested" by the sergeant at arms, but had not been presented before the bar of the house, and he insisted that the discrimination ought to stop.
Mr. Wallace of Arkansas explained that he had been serving on a committee of investigation, and had gone home to "supper" to get an early start of reviewing the testimony taken. He had been informed by telephone that a "call of the house" was in progress, and had responded, voting on the bill then before the body. ater he had been placed under arrest with his friend, Mr. Wiley of Alabama, and together they were presented to the bar and excused. He thought he should be absolved.
Mr. Payne of New York, the floor leader of the majority, then rose to move the previous question on the approval of the journal. It became apparent that the events of Monday night were the outcome of a plan on the part of the leaders of the republican side to keep the republican majority present to enact legislation. Mr. Payne said that there was no animus whatever back of the arrests, but a practical application of a rule that has been dormant for years.
HANDSOME REWARD OFFERED.

From the figures recently published by the department of labor and commerce, showing the number of bales of cotton ginned of the crop of 1905, Terrell county maintains its high record of producing more cotton to the acre than any other county in Georgia.
While it is true that several other counties, Burke, Walton, Coweta and a few others, produced greater number of bales in 1905 than Terrell county did, yet these are all large counties of the state.

Stalnaker's Slayer Convicted.
A verdict of voluntary manslaughter was returned against C. S. Wall on trial at Augusta for the killing of C. W. Stalnaker on May 3. The fury was out eighteen hours.
A bench warrant has been issued for the arrest of W. T. Harden, principal witness for the defense, on a charge of complicity in the killing of Stainaker. Policeman Brown testified in the trial that when he ran up to the saloon where the shooting took place to investigate, he found W. T. Harden standing near the prostrate form with a smoking pistol in his hand. Harden declared that Wail was the man wanted, and the policeman walked into the rear of the saloon and placed the latter under ar-
State Chemist Denies Assertion.
John M. McCandless, state chemist, has addressed a communication to the Atlanta Constitution denying the statement in a recent advertisement in an Atlanta paper by the Georgia Petroleum company to the effect that he said that oil existed below the surface. In great quantities on their land. He says:
"My attention has been called to an advertisement in the Georgian of recent date by the Georgia Petroleum company, in which it was stated that a report on the oil of the company had been secured from me, as well as others, and that we all agreed that their oil was crude petroleum of high grade, and that the geological conditions are such as to make it certain that oil exists some 1,600 or 1,800 feet below the surface in great quantities. This statement is wholly unwarranted, and is based on the following slender statement of fact: On January 5, 1904, I wrote one of the gentlemen interested on receipt of a sample from him as follows: 'Unquestionably there is little oil floating on the surface of the water, but there is not a sufficient quantity of the oil to make anything like an analysis of it.' I have never heard of it since, and never even visited the spot."
Carver Proved Easy Mark.
A news item from Memphis is as follows: Sympathy for his fellow man proved the undoing of A. H. Carver, a farmer, from Lafayette, Walker county, Georgia, for at one fell blow he was robbed of $1,170, the savings of a lifetime. The police are busy looking for the confidence man who

played upon the Georgian's trust in human nature. For more than twenty-six years had Carver labored on the soil of the land, sowing and reaping, denying himself all luxuries in order to lay aside a store for old age. With the casch which he had saved, Carver decided to seek added fortune in Oklahoma. After arriving in Memphis Carter purchased a ticket to Woodward, Oklahoma, and then wandered about the station almlessly. The Georgian was picked out as an easy mark by an affable stranger, who told Carver that he too was bound for Woodward, which was his home, and where he conducted a large livery stable. He had been in Memphis to bury his father and settle the estate of the latter.
Carver was informed that the stranger was in distress, having made a large number of accounts to settle before he left Memphis, and being short $1,200 of the required amount. The confidence man assured him that he had $1,000, but would have to remain in Memphis a week longer until more money arrived unless he could borrow some. Without hesitation Carver loaned the stranger every cent in his possession—$1,170. At the first opportunity the stranger made a quick disappearance.
New Fault Laid to Women.
"I have sometimes gone over into the park," said the man who lives opposite, and listened to the stories of the tramps. They tell strange stories, full of woe, of course. One is this:
"The women who frequent the park, they say, have no honor. Among men tramps, as among men thieves, there is a certain code of honor. They won't steal from one another, but in this the women are lacking.
"The moment the men fall asleep on the benches, they say, the women steal up and take the very shoes off their feet. The shoes are worth only a few cents apiece, but the women are relentless. They have no mercy."—New York Sun.

Aly way of keeping pork through the

of Pennsville, Oblo: I smoke it well as
early in spring as I can and usually
market all side meat as early as possi-
ble. After I have it nicely smoked L
take it from the smoke housevand hang
it on stout nalls around the sides of a
garner in my wheat granary. I just
hang it up without auythiag over it,
being careful to let one piece bang 80
as not to touch another. I keep the
granary dark so as to keep out all
files. I have tried this plan for sey-
eral years and have never yet bad
any trouble from files or other causes,
Siocs du Oxebardas
As scavengers, or for consuming
tefuse that cannot be marketed, hogs
pe almost indispensable in an orchard.
he fattening of hogs on apples may
be considered a sucgessful method, it
being certain that this fruit possesses
a value for that purpose that has been
overlooked, and the destruction of in-
sects by hogs in consuming the fatlen
apples bas given a new value to
orchards and will probably check
their destruction, which in somo sec-
tions of the country has already pro-
gressed to a considerable extent. The
animal should be allowed in the
orchard from the time the frult be-
gins to fall until it fs time to gather
apples for the winter, and they will,
4n most cases, be found in good condl-
tion fot hardening with grain and
slaughtering, and the meat will be
tender and of an excellent flavor.

‘The Hen and Mer Erood,
‘When it comes to surety, safety and

Keeper, the pen system of managing
the hen and her brood is the best and
-in the long ron it is much the cheapest.
_, We have written on this subject be
fore, but it Is so timely now and it 1s
such a good thing—such a great hel
to the management of the hen mothers
and thelr little ones during the grow-
ing season, that we are writing on it
‘once more.
‘The chief {dea 1s individuality and
comparative isolation of each hen and
her chickens and in this alone much
4s attained, for the more we divide
the growing stock the more of it we
‘will raise.
In carrying out this plan, observes
W. B. Geer, a good, stout, weather and
yarmint proof coop is the first essen-
tlal, for the chickens must have pro-
tection at night. The noxt necessity fs
a pen made of slats or wire netting,
this to enclose the coop, say a space
about ten by twelve feet all around
it, and the fencing should be six feet
high and then the filght feathers of one
‘wing of the hen should be cut so that
she can not tly out, should she be of a
fighty turn. A gate at the front Js,
of course, necessary,
Within a small yurd of this kind one
hen and her brood should be placed.
but the fencing should not be so close
that the Ittle ebicks cannot pass in
“and out, for it {s not intended to con-
fine them, but thelr mother. This
makes a security reserve for them—a
place of refuge for them from any
danger, and yet they may enjoy free
range at the same time, It also makes
it possible to feed each hen and her
brood separately, which fs a most de-
sirable condition, as it prevents mob-
Ding up and overcrowding.
Another thought—when the showers
come up, and Wwe ate busy, we need
not chase all over the place, dropping
everything else, to get the hens and
thelr chickens in out of the wet, for the
hen is stationed where there is refuge
all the thme, and the chickens can
quickty scoot in through the cracks to
her.
In fact, this system minimizes work,
worry and the percentaze of loss, and
It really makes the raising of chickens
with hené a pléasure, as well as profit-
able,
Bape For Sheep,
It has been well attested that rape
makes the quickest and dne of the best’
‘sheep and hog pastures that can be
grown. One of our correspondents, Ar,
L. C, Reynolds, says of rape:
Rape has won for itself great popu-
larity as a food for sheep in recent
years. It is grown to-day more or less
upon every farm where sheep or hogs
are ralsed. I have grown rape for
sheep pasture for more than twelve
years, and the more I grow of it the
more thoroughly I am convinced it is
one of the best sheep feeds the farmer
can grow, While it does not come on
as carly as rye in the spring, its hardy
nature makes it one of the best of for-
age crops. When sown under favora-
ble conditions it will supply 2 large
amount of palatable pasture at six
Weeks of growth, and the fact that it
can be sown at any season of the year
makes It bne of the best general forage
crops for the farmer. No sheep owner
can afford not to grow rape. It can be
sown during’ every growlug season of
the year and produce excellent pasture.
I prefer to sow rape in drills instead
of broadcast, as many do. A better
stand of plants can be secured by this
method, and the stock does not tramp
the forage down nearly so much, I
sow my rape with a land or grain
drill in rows twenty Inches apart. Sow
about four pounds of seed per acre,
Care should be exercised not to sow thr

Fertitity and Prait Growln-.
| At a meeting of horticulturists Pro-
fessor John Cralz, of Coruell Untyer-
‘sity, sald: 2
| “Every modern system of cultivating
fruits recognizes as 2 first principle
the right of the frult tree to be con-
sidered a specific and sufficient crop
under the soll, or at least to be regard-
ed as a crop quite as exhausting in
character as any grown by the farmer.
Unless the frult grower realizes and
puts into practice the, essential part of
this prinelple he will fail as a cultlva-
tor of frults. Experiments {norchard-
ing conducted some years“ago at the
Cornell Experiment Station proved con-
clusively that it cost the soll more to
producé twenty average crops of ap-
ples than twenty average crops of
wheat, In other words, more fertility
was extracted from the land in grow-
ing am acre of bearing apples for twefi-
ty years than in growing twenty con-
secutive crops of wheat. As a rule,
the farmer recognizes the food needs
of the wheat plant, but too often does
he look upon the apple or fruit tree as
a mere tenant of the soll, and ong
which {s not to be regarded as a spe-
cific crop, Having recognized the prin-
ciples, the particular method of orch-
arding much be worked out by the frult
grower himself, This method will de
pend upon soil conditions and climate.
Nevertheless, it {s safe to say that fn
elght cases out of ten that method
Which employs clean tillage for at least
part of the season will be most suc-
cessful. It 4s also safe to siy that
all secondary crops in orchards are inv
jurious.”
Farm ond Garden Notes.
Much labor and expense may be
saved by planning ahead.
Only a few varieties should be plants
ed in the commercial orchard.
Exer¢lse has a decided value in low:
ering the cost of egg production.
The more litter in the manure, the
slower the process of decomposition.
Celeriae 1s a plant simi‘ar to celery,
but more easily grown and mote easily
cooked,
Too large quantitics of fertilizers
applied at one time will kill tender
plants. -
But few plants will thrive in a wet
sofl. A good drat {s sometimes hetter
than manure.
There are few times of the year
when a good pair of pruning shears
can not be used to good advantage.
Don't forget the stock water in the
pasture, Stock must not be without
good water, not for a day nor half a
day. .
When a better price for better fruit
1s obtained, the difference in price nays
for handling. It pays to grow the best,
for that reason,
Im nearly all cases animals in low
flesh are more lable to disease than
when in fine bodily condition, and it
costs more to keep them.
Thinning fruit is proving, such an
advantage to the quality thet the plan
1s gaping ground everywhere. Better
prices for better frult is the result,
Some fires have occurred from care-
lessnes3 in handling incubators ard
brooders. Possibly we might encase

The world would do a bad job of
getting along without the grower of
live stock, and that same world ought
to be willing to remunerate him for his
labor and risks, Indeed, no’ class of
people is rnder any obligation to feed

SATURDAY, JUNE 2, 1906.
The following clarion call to duty by the St. Luke Herald should be pondered and follow-
Dead, because they are living in the past, in the days which are gone by and which we will never see nor know again.
The Negro as a race, are largely living in the past: wedded to the thing and conditions which used to exist. He is still talking about the things happened and obtained duling the war, or just after the war. Somehow he refuses to see that tallow candle, the stage coach, the old-fashioned farmer and old-timed societies have almost entirely disappeared. Somehow he refuses to see that his occupations in which he once had a monopoly are swiftly passing into the hands of white men. Somehow, he refused to awake and realize that the white men and women who used to befriend him are either nearly all dead or have quietly withdrawn from him.
Somehow, he even with forty years of schools and churches, refuses to make that religious progress which everybody else has made and is making. The electric line of progress rushes the car by him, while he still stands at the station, in doubt and fear of himself, thinking of the good, old days of fast walking mule and the fast trotting ox.
Isn't there some way to arouse the people and get them on the train before it will be too late? Isn't there some way, to teach our men, women and children the lesson of organization, political and financial? Isn't there some way, isn't there some one who can teach our Negro societies, churches, clubs, and organizations, that the place for the Negro money is in the Negro Bank? Isn't there somebody with love, real love, sure enough love for his own race, to stand up in the pulpit and preach the doctrine—that the past is dead, and that they who are now living in the past are dead too?
Isn't there somebody, some where, who is willing to stand and preach by his living daily example that the Negro Professional Man can do when he receives Negro support? That the Negro merchant can thrive when Negroes give him their patronage? That the Negro Bank can become a Gibraltar when the Negro turns his money in that direction? Isn't there somebody, some where who feels it his God-given duty to teach by actual daily practice the Gospel of Race help? How long are we to think about the times when Negroes were holding all of the best positions of labor, domestic and public services? How long are we going to think of those days when wages were high and employment sought the man? How long, how long, how long are we going to be ALIVE—Yet DEAD?
Lectured to Large Audience.
Major R. R. Wright, L. L. D., President of Industrial State College lectured to a large and appreciative audience last Tuesday night, at Quinn Chapel, on "The Negro and his Contribution to Civilization." Major Wright is a pleasing as well as a forcible speaker. His address showed much research. His style of delivery was impressive at times he was eloquent and dramatic. Major Wright stands out prominent as one of the best platform speakers of today and will always be welcome in this city.—"The Columbian," Louisville, Ky.
Major R. R. Wright's lecture, "The Negro's Contribution to Civilization," which he delivered at Quinn Chapel last Tuesday evening was indeed an intellectual treat, replete with convincing fact. He is extremely optimistic in his views and believes in the Negro's future. He says that all over Africa the Negro is the tiller of the soil or else an owner of large herds. That when the white man or Germans rather, was using stone implements, or when bronze weapons were first introduced, the Negro had developed the art of smelting iron; and that the Negro has contributed more than any other race to the development of the iron industry. He referred to the beautiful inlaid iron weapon of Central Africa and the perfection to which woodcarving by means of iron implements, has been brought to by the African. He also said Herbert Spencer claims that the idea of the great inaugural ball held, every four years in Washington City was copied from an African custom.
In fact, the lecture was all that one could desire who has any race pride and a desire to push on for higher things.Standard, Louisville, Ky.
In Line for the Fair.
The farmers of Dodge county held a meeting recently in interest of the Colored State Fair. Each speaker was enthusiastic over the fair and Dodge county can be counted upon to do its part, headed by Chairman L. W. Whitehead and others. Many shares were subscribed and paid for.

FAD ZSTRA PERA OPERA
1906
On Wednesday night a. large audience, very representative, gathered in the beautiful edifice of St. James A. M. E. Church, to witness the commencement exercises of Beach Institute. To the accompaniment of a beautiful march eighteen young ladies, constituting the graduating clsss of 16, marched down the centre aisle to their places. The marching line made a very pleasing spectacle and the girls in their class colors and pretty dresses of immaculate white, reminded one of the girl graduate of sweet sixteen. The program as arranged was carried out with one exception. It was highly entertaining and each number should have special mention. Each of the graduates read an essay which showed close application, and it is safe to say that each did themselves and their alma mater credit. These essays teemed with brilliant thoughts and abounded in wholesome advice, and the parents, friends and teachers can have just reasons to feel proud of these young ladies. The voice modulation and expression were very good and showed plainly that they had received special drill. Did we have space we might easily comment on every single one.
The musical numbers were also very good. The number rendered by the Forest City Glee Club was most excellent and the singing, whether solo, duet or chorus, was of the best order. The female chorus of probably fifty voices, blended most harmoniously. Special mention might also be made of the solo by Mr. J W. Moore which was indeed very good. There was one thing very noticeable and singular about the exercises and that is the conspicuous part the boys played in the exercises by their absence. One, as he sat listening to the exercises, might well have thought he was attending the commencement of a seminary for girls. There was one surprise, apparently for the students, which came in the nature of a flash-light picture as seen above. After some little bustle, the photographer got himself in position, and having the students in readiness, the group was then taken; the noise and brilliant flash causing some little confusion on the part of an unsuspecting number.
The address of Dr. Brockett was apt and fitting, and the appreciative audience sat in rapt silence as they listened to this most eloquent and polished speaker. The presentation of diplomas was made by the principal in his quiet unassuming, but yet pathetic manner. He said this class was the first to receive a full Normal Course at Beach Institute, which fact gave him keen pleasure. The Class Song was pretty and after the singing of it the benediction was said by Rev. W. L. Cash.
This terminates one of the most successful terms of Beach. Prof. Geo. B. Hurd, the indefatigable principal and his corps of teachers deserve commendation for their work at the Institute, especially the principal. His is a labor of love, for he has made great sacrifices to remain here. He has been offered many more hundred dollars per year, for work more pleasant than at Beach, but he preferred remaining here and build up the work. He has succeeded admirably and the hope is expressed that he will return to us next year and remain many years to come. One of the failures of Beach is the frequent change of principals.
The great good that the Beach has done and is doing for this community is not being appreciated as it should by our people, especially the sacrifices made and labor of love given by the teachers.
there will be a parade during the communication.
Past Master Geo. F. Thomas of Hawkinsville, has been on the sick list for the past several weeks. We are glad to note that he is improving somewhat. Bro. Thomas is one of our strongest men and we hope that he will be sufficiently improved to attend the Grand Communication.

College Commencement.
June 3 to 6 are the dates for the commencement at the Georgia State Industrial College.
Sunday morning, the baccalaureate sermon will be preached by Bishop R. S. Williams, D. D., of Augusta at 11 a.m.
Anniversary of the Y. M. C.A. Monday at 8:30 p.m. Address by Rev. R. R. Wright, Jr., of Philadelphia

The Men's Sunday Club. No definite program was rendered at the meeting held on last Sunday. In lieu of a program, the meeting was turned in to a song service and an experience meeting. The audience seemed ready for the change and entered into the spirit of the meeting all of which were clearly evidenced by the life and pathos which they put into the songs, and by the large number that gave their brief but sincere approval to the work of the Sunday Club. The meeting was nothing less than a general symposium on Christian fellowship, and the work of the Club, greatly interspersed with music. During the meeting there were many and pleasant things said. The utterances were earnest and sympathetic and true; the advices, wholesome; the suggestions, timely; and the prayers, prophetic of hope for life's grandeurs, expressive of that fellowship and co-operation so fondly to be hoped for. All things considered, the meeting was a very enjoyable one; one of the best ones had in a long time, and one to be remembered. The enthusiasm and delight were so great, that it was proposed to hold these experience meeting at stated regular intervals. The cosmopolitanism of the club, the size of the audiences and the enthusiasm of the meetings are indeed pleasing to one, and propitiores of further success that awaits to crown the noble and commendable efforts the club is putting forward to elevate the moral, intellectual, physical and spiritual condition of the community. The Club on last Sunday adopted as the mode of applause [the chautaqua salute and hereafter, it is expected, that there will be no hand-clapping or patting with the feet to applaud any participant or speaker at the Club. The chautaqua salute, the waying of the handkerchief, no doubt will cause the young men to put in a heavy stock of handkerchief at the next Monday morning bargain sale.
The Club also hopes to begin its slum work in the very near future under the supervision of Mr. L. D. Thompson. Volunteers are asked for and here we have another instance of where the Club is trying "to reach the unreached." The whole community should join hands, and lift its voice to God in prayer and petition for His favor and richest blessing on the labors of the club in going to the rescue of this distressing need. As Christians, our bounden duty is "to seek and save that which is lost." [To-morrow, Sunday, Bishop Williams,
| To-morrow, Sunday, Bishop Williams, of Augusta, Ga., will be present and
will speak to the Club. The public in general is invited and also we shall be glad to welcome into our ranks, the returning graduates and students of the various schools and colleges.

Rev. McMillan of Gaines Chapel, preached at 11 o'clock on Sunday. Rev. McMillan's discourse was interesting and to the point. Those who were out heard a good sermon. Rev Lindsay preached at night. Notwithstanding the rain there was a large congregation out. We are glad to note that Prof. J. H. Baldwin, superintendent of our Sunday School, is out agala after being sick for the past month. Rev. Lindsay, preached the baccalaureate sermon at Asbury M. E. Church on last Sunday morning to the students of Haven Home. Rev. Lindsay also left for Atlanta on Monday to attend the commencement at Morris Brown College. Rev. Lindsay has a double duty to perform. First, to attend the meeting of the trustee board of the above College and to deliver 51 diplomas to graduates. The reverend is just as busy as a bee. An error was made in the dots last week about Rev. Lindsay preaching the baccalaureate sermon at the Georgia State Industrial College on Sunday. It should have read, "The Haven's Home." No fault of this paper however. Every person you ask say, "Why why they are going to Beaufort, on Tuesday June 12 with St. Philip." The following services will be held en to-morrow Sunday. Prayer meeting at 5:39 a.m. Preaching and baptism of children and adults at 11 a.m. Sunday School at 2:30 p.m. Communion and the reception of members at 3:30 p.m. Preaching at 8:50 p.m. Strangers are cordially invited.
Union Baptist Church.
Union Baptist Church. There were regular services held at the Union Baptist Church on last Sunday. At 11 o'clock the services were conducted by Rev. F. Riech, of Chicago, who has been conducting our revival for the last fifteen days. The meeting has been a great success. At 3 p. m., Sunday School was conducted by the superintendent, Deacon E. Sweagin, after which the B. Y. P. U., held its meeting for one hour. It was very interesting. At 8:30 p. m., the pastor preached to the Friendly Brotherhood Club from this subject, "Love to the Brotherhood." There will be baptism at the Bay St. bridge at 8 o'clock Sunday morning. Preaching at 11 a. m. The Lord's supper will be administered at 4 p. m. Preaching at 8:30 p. m., by the pastor. The public is cordially invited to attend the services.

A
NON-EXPLOSIVE OIL CAN.
*Autozorbists and insurance men will be interested in the non-explosive oil can shown in the accompanying illustration. The feature of this can which renders it non-explosive is a perforated zine tube, placed in the filling hole. Inside this tube is a smaller tube, of the same material, and treated in the same manner. Wire gauze son-
A water jug
arates the two tubes. The tube is screwed down at the top. Between the cap, which secures the tube to the tank, is a gravity or safety valve. It is this little valve which does a great deal of the work in rendering the can non-explosive.
In the ordinary can when the pressure of the gas is so great that something must give way, there is an explosion. With the tube inserted in the can, the power of the gas is overcome. As soon as the gas begins to rise, overcoming the pressure on the outside of the can, the safety valve rises, permitting the gas to pour out. There is ignition, but no explosion. The tube, with its perforations, of course, concentrates the flame, preventing contact of the flame with the oil in the can—Philadelphia Record.

Get the Song Habit.
Encouragement is offered by a high medical authority in a recent work to those people who have singing souls but "no voice," and who therefore hesitate to sing lest they disturb the tuneliquanimity of their friends. This scientific man says by all means sing, when you want to particularly, and acquire the habit of singing some every day, whether or not you are musically inclined. The reason for this recommendation is that singing develops and holds pervious the various passages and chambers of the respiratory tract from brow to diaphragm, and trains and practices in deep, full breathing. Entirely apart, therefore, from all idea of making vocalists, singing should be taught and practiced in the family circle by all, be the voices good, bad or indifferent—Boston Globe.

Cortlandt Parker's Advice to the New Jersey Bar.
Under the reading "Some Wholesome Advice to Lawyers," the Scientific American notes that N. Jersey's lawyers recently paid a deserved tribute to their most distinguished associate, the one who has been longest in practice in the State and who, throughout its boundaries, is recognized as the dean of the profession—Cortlandt Parker, of Newark.
In the course of his address Mrs. Parker delivered a few words of advice to his young friends. He said: "Stick to the profession—seek to elevate it. Do not seek by it to make money. Doing that makes it a trade—not a profession. Be fair in charges. Help the poor, with advice and with professional aid. It is occurs to you, as I should, to lock out for old age, believing that Webster was right when he said that the fate of a lawyer was to work hard, live well and die poor, use economy, and as you acquire something to lay up, buy in some growling town or city a building, a business one, if you can, even if it involves a mortgage for part; rent will keep down interest and pay taxes and the pro-erty one day will enrich you. You will have hard work, to get well off by simply saving, and the community will expect you to live comfortably. Do not speculate. Be known in Christian work, and in charity, public and private, according to your means. Study law and history in all spare time, and manifest it by your action in the courts. Do not be a politician. But always vote, and do the duty of a citizen. Be member of a party, but independent—a slave to no one. Deserve honors and office. If they come, as if you deserve them they should, do honor to them. If they do not, never mind. There is one who seeth not as man seeth, whose 'well done, good and faithful' is worth all the dignities of all the world."
Hung on to the Flow.
An old English gentleman, a school teacher, who some years ago resided in one of the small towns of Ohio, was an agreeable teller of stories, but deemed it beyond his reputation as a raconteur to tell one that did not surpass any that had preceded it.
A farmer having come to the village remarked in the presence of his friends that he had been plowing all the week with four horses, breaking up new ground, and dwelt upon it as being a very big thing.
"Ipshaw!" said the old Englishman, "that's nothing. I have seen in England fifty yoke of oxen hitched to one plow."
The remark seemed to occasion general surprise.
"And," continued he, "the funnelest part of the whole thing was that while the plow was on the top of another hill the leading pole of oxen was on top of another hill, and the forty-nine between the plow and the leaders were suspended between the two hills. And there was another matter connected with it rather strange. In the course of the, day the plowman", becoming rather careless about driving his team, ran into and split a big oak stump. The plow passed safely through the split, but before the plowman got entirely through it closed and caught him by the coattail."
"Did it, tear his coat?" asked a person of inquiring turn.
"Not a bit of it," replied our veracious narrator; "the lung to the plow handles and pulled out the stump."—Buffalo Times.
London Bird's Friend.
An interesting spectacle for city dwellers to whom common country scenes are rarettes, may be observed in St. James' Park.
Walking from the Horse Guards Parade to the Duke of York's column, one may see on the lower branch of the second tree on the right-hand side of the roadway a wood pigeon's nest in course of construction. These birds belong to the class of wood pigeons which are now becoming as much acclimatized in the metropolis as the numerous so-called "tame pigeons."
A correspondent, eighty-four years old, to whom London parks have been places of interest and observation for over seventy years, writes concerning the St. James' Park nest:
"My attention was first drawn to this nest building by seeing a wood pigeon walking about beneath the trees looking, as I thought, for food, but in reality searching for suitable small sticks. When it had found one it flew up into a tree adjoining that in which the nest was. I pretended to walk on as if I had not seen it, and the bird flew into the next tree, where it soon deposited the twig in its correct position.
"As there seemed a scarcity of twigs, I set about collecting some and strewed them about under the tree so that the bird might gather them more readily."
—London Dall Mall.
The Commercial Time-Saver.
These are strenuous days in the business world. The greater the degree of national prosperity the more are buyers and sellers cramped for time. Whatever saves their time enables them to save its equivalent—money. Publicity is the great mercantile timesaver. It spreads out the tradesman's wares so that the customer can see them all at a glance; it tells him exactly where to find the precise article that he wants; it spares him the labor and inconvenience of rummaging. This means a great deal to a hurried buyer. By as much as it reduces the time the customer must spend in selection it minimizes the time the merchant devotes to making a sale. Advertising owes its power to the fact that it showers its benefits with an even hand upon those who pay for it and those who read it—Philadelphia Record.

Italian Women Pack Heavy Loads.
Italian Women Rock heavy Loads. In Italy the people take it for granted that women should carry heavy loads. Horses and wagons are scarce, and it is common for women to carry heavy loads of wood from the dock to the market place. Often they are so heavy the women look as if they would stagger underneath. They carry this wood all day for less than fifty cents, though the lumber is disposed of in the market at a good price.
Embroidered Albums
The postcard album has reached the fancy work stage, and that means it is very popular indeed. Square albums, with plain stiff board covers, are bought, to be recovered with silk or linen and needlework. Some of the handsomest are of silk, with the words "Postcard Album" embroidered in solid work, and a Moral design~for-menets are naturally the most appropriate—is done in "ribbon embroidery.
Brains on Tap For Beauty.
If you live in Boston and "have the price," advice as to just what to buy when you go shopping may be yours. A young woman in that town, says the New York Press, who recently was thrown on her own resources, decided that her unfailing eye for color harmonies and taste in dress was a marketable commodity, and opened an office, where for a small sum she tells women what they ought to wear. Should her enterprise prove a success, doubtless many women in the same circumstances will take the shoppers in.
Empire Coats.
Three-quarter length cloaks in the Empire shape are seen among the wraps as much as they were in the winter fashions. A model with straight front, double-breasted, with yoke beginning at the side and continuing across the back, the lower part of the coat being cut slightly flared below, is to be in favor. Other models, declares Harper's Bazar, have this same front panel and yoke, with the lower part of the coat pleated. Short, square box coats, coming only to the hips, are made of covert cloth and also of cloth to match the skirt of the gown. There are very smart little covert cloth coats of the usual single-breasted variety, with long seam from the shoulder to the hem, as well as those with many gores and strapped seams.
Sewing Tables Become the Vogue.
Sewing tables are quite aad among many belles, and the girl who has not a mahogany receptacle for clothes in need of repairs is no longer up to date. The favorite style is of dark brown mahogany, with glass or brass knobs, as one pleases, and with strips of brass along the edges. It must have a deep basket-like appenage lined with silk which harmonizes with the shade of one's room. These pretty trifles cost anything one may wish to pay, but the least expensive cost about $25. There are sewing tables in cherry, but antique mahogany is the thling. Many tables have wonderful accessories in the shape of gold-handled scissors and gold thimbles. One girl is the fortunate possessor of a half dozen gold cases for spools of cotton—New York Press.
Indian Girl's Dancing Robe.
An Indian girl, daughter of Howling Crane, once the head of the Cheyenne Indians, recently sold her "party gown" to a syndicate of territorial curio gathers for $1000. The garb was old and worn, mothaten and ragged, yet the price was cheerfully paid—incidentally, the purchase was a good investment. The dress was decorated with 728 elk teeth, all very valuable for lodge jewelry, and the transfer from the original purchaser to an Eastern jewelry manufacturer was made in advance of the securing of the teeth at a price that was almost double the amount the girl, Nannie Howling Crane, received, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
As years go by the number of elk teeth is becoming smaller, while the number of lodge menwanting teeth is growing larger, and the result is that the laws of supply and demand boost the price. Almost any genuine elk tooth will sell for $2, while the choice The top price is usually paid for a tooth that is turning green with age. An elk of the male sex produces only two good teeth, and the robe, therefore, represented 364 elk.
Miss Howling Crane is a rich girl, and could afford all sorts of fine gowns, but she rather liked the one she sold; still, adverse circumstances had stricken her father, and rather than dispose of his ponie, to meet obligations and to feed himself and family, he carried his daughter's "party gown". or, more properly expressing it, her varieties sell for as high as $50 each. dancing robe, to the curio collectors and sold it.
When Old Crow, chief of the Cheyennes, heard of the sale he was broken hearted, and immediately set out to get it back, but he was too late—the robe had been forwarded to the East by express.
The Cheyennes are land rich, yet often suffer from extreme hunger. When that way the, will sell their all, regardless of the value. When they get in this shape the curio hunter invades their homes, and the thick of silver oftimes robs them of articles they would rather give their lives than barter away.
Modern Hair Dressing.
The very newest way of arranging the hair is to weave it prettily, draw it up on top of the head, with side locks, out soft and fuzzy, but not over the eyes at all, the entire arrangement being topped off with a crownlike braid. Simplicity is the present rule in hair dressing. The big, horrible pompadour is left to chorus girls, and its place is not off the stage. There was never anything more truly hideous than the pompadour rattled up by an amateur hair dresser. The straight lines brought out every defect of the complexion, says the Philadelphia Press.
Just how you should dress your hair is a question that you must settle for yourself. Your neighbor may look very pretty with her hair done a certain way but the style may not be acceptable for you. Experiment until you find the secret. If you can afford it go to a hair dresser and let her give you ideas. The expense of such an experiment is trifling and it may set you on the right track.
The clever woman who discovers a becoming way of doing her hair saloon changes her style, but cottonts to it as long as she can.
The girl with a high forehead must bring her hair down a little. The girl with fine temples and a lovely forehead should arrange her hair so that these beauties are displayed.
Beautifying is but bringing out the good points and glossing over the poor ones.
An invisible net will keep all the fying shreds of furious decorations with the rest of the hair. By brushing them the way they should go they will soon take the hint.
Back combs have been the salvation of the woman who always tagged around with a fringe of hair hanging down the back of her neck.
If modern beautifying has done no more than teach women to pin up those shaggy ends it has certainly been worth while.
Hard Working Americans.
The moment a singer, virtuoso or conductor returns to Europe from a first visit to America it is the custom nowadays to interview them as to their impressions of their tour, observes the Boston Transcript. Miss Marie Hall, the violinist, gave hers with the nervous eagerness that is in all that she does, and she heaped fiery coals on our Bostonian heads by paying us compliments in return for our indifference to her. "I was sometimes in doubt whether there were any Americans except in Boston and thereabout. In New York, for instance, I fancy nobody is quite a real American yet. If I asked anybody I met, 'Are you an American?' the answer was always, 'Well, yes, but not exactly, quite, altogether American all the same'--and the explanation was that he or she, or the father or mother, was both in Germany, or Ireland, or somewhere, not in America. All the American men are in such a hurry to become Americans that they make themselves perfect slaves, they work so hard. Nowhere have I seen men have so universal a passion for making money, and so universal a content in seeing their wives spend it. I am sure it is true that America is run by its women, at any rate, if the men do run it, they do so only for the women's sake. The men go about shabbily dressed and work from early morning till late at night, even though they are millionaires. To live in America you must either be an American, or be buoyed up with a sustaining, glorious hope of becoming one. No one, otherwise, could live there for long without being cut off in his bloom by premature old age. I calculated one night that I should run through my span and pass out a centenarian in about two years."
New Colorings.
The art of dyeing is rapidly being acquired in America. Anything more charming than the colors of the season's silks can hardly be imagined, and the American products are not behind the imported. The rajahs and burlingham come in fifty or more shades, and the colors are finely graded, that any complexion may be suited. Purples range from deep dahlia tones to amethyst, violet and mauve. The delicate tone called orchid is especially lovely. In reds the variety is much greater. From darkest claret, through crimson, cherry, raspberry, which the importers call "framboise" and strawberry, which is also supposed to sound better in French, "fraise," coral, salmon and several shades of pink. One can have a dozen blues, of which Alice, blue delft, "campanule," or harbelle, and a pastel shades are fashionable. There are several good browns, two or three grays, of which London smokies, the latest, and three or four very good greens, including myrtle and two "resedas," which, of course, is migrate in English—New York Post
Are Mark Twain, Edison and Burbank
Havin' It?
Who among us has the most fun nowadays? One can only guess, but guessing on such a question is some fun in itself. We guess Unee Mark Twain has a fair amount of daily sport. He is a very kind man and finds many opportunities nowadays to do public services of a benevolent sort to great advantage. The papers, as we write, say he is going to preside at a meeting for the benefit of the blind. He does such things often, and makes very good speeches on such occasions and on all occasions when he speaks at all. To exercise the gift of discourse to calification is a high pleasure. Mark does it vocally and by word of pen. His command of good and also of bad language is fluent, comprehensive and exact. He practices an art o. which he is master, and he indulges the impulses of a benevolent spirit. Of course he has a good time.
Unce Andrew Carnegie has a good time too. That is notorious. He has money to spend and spends it. His mind is very active, his health is good. His interest in life and everything that bears on it is lively and acute, and he takes a hand in every game that interests him. According to the books and to the general rule of human experience, he ought to be quite gloomy because he is so rich. But he isn't gloomy at all. He has a hap top time. And if course President Roosevelt has a lot of fun. Action and reaction is the rule of physics, but it is not the rule of him. He has the exhilaration of percussive action without any considerable reactions that any one ever heart of.
Thomas Edison must have fun too. The processes of inventive thought must be exceedingly interesting, especially when they can out as well as Mr. Edison's processes do. He has the pleasures of the imagination ruled to the joys that come from searching after truth and getting clams on it. He makes money too, but that to him is an incident and a troublesome but necessary digression from the pursuit of happiness.
Luther Burbank, the plant wizard, must have a vast deal of fun of a sort not unlike Edison's. Burbank began work in a plow factory and kept his wonderful mind on the improvement of machinery just long enough to make some money with which to undertake the remodeling of the vegetable world. Then he invented a new potato and made a little more money and moved to California, where he opened a plant factory. Any one who does not know of the marvels he has done should read up about him. There is joy, of course, in creation, else things wouldn't have been created. Burbank must have tasted that joy in abundant measure. He has never made much money for himself, because his mind has never dwelt much on that quest, but he is one of the fortunate men of his generation, a marvous creature who has followed his bent and really benefited menkind. We guess it is one of the conditions of having any notable amount of fun that there should be resulting benefit to mankind—Harper's Weekly.
Reporters Secret by Temptations.
A newspaper reporter is exposed to more temptations than most men. His work impinges on the fortune and fame of many who think the short way to success is brilhery. Many newspaper proprietors and editors get much better service from their reporters than they deserve. A reporter frequently turns in a story of great general interest. When he reads it next day and finds that the names of some of the principal actors in the story have been eliminated, because they were large advertisers in the paper, or because they were of the same political faith as the proprietor, or because they enjoyed social relations with the editor, that reporter is scarcely to be blamed if he declines to consider his newspaper as a great moral force and decides in his own mind that it is run for graft and its employees are therefore entitled to graft a little on their own account.
If it were possible to do so, some city editors would make all of their reporters dishonest. A custom prevails in many newspaper offices of allotting a certain sum of money to each department. In their eager desire to show themselves as alert as their neighbors and bring all the news to the paper, city editors frequently exceed their limit of expense, and some of them have been known, in order to save themselves from trouble with the business manager, to cut down the space bills and other compensations of the reporters. Under such circumstances it is scarcely to use expected that the reporters of that newspaper will remain with it if they are honest, or fall to graft on their own account if they are naturally dishonest.—T. T. Williams, in the Cosmopolitan.
Wouldn't See Him Starve
An Ohio man tells of the sad case of a young fellow, the son of a wealthy Toledo manufacturer, who, against his father's wishes, insisted upon going to Chicago to make his way, whereas the parent desired that his son train himself in the Toledo business house. At first the lad did very well in the larger city, but it was not long before he was making urgent appeals to his father for financial assistance. To these the old gentleman, who had himself been trained in a hard school, turned a deaf ear. Finally, the desperate boy wired his father in these words: "You won't see me starve, will you?" The old man's reply came in the form of the following telegram: "No, not at this distance." The the boy decided to return to Toledo and go to work for the old man—Harper's Weekly.
What Coal Tar's Magic Has Done.
FIFTY YEARS AGO IT WAS A WASTE BY-PRODUCT.
Chemists Will Celebrate the Perkin Discovery, Which Did Much to Put the Profession in the Front Rank of Utilitarian Occupations.
B Y producing delicate tints from the ugly black tar, a hitherto waste by-product of coal gas.
William Henry Perkin, F. R. S., LL. D., Ph. D., D. Se., V. P. C. S., is still alive, although this string of abbre
William Henry, Perkin, an English chemist, rendered a public service unappreciated at the time. His discovery turned the manufacturing industry of the world into new channels and chemistry leaped to the front rank of the professions. That is why the chemists of England, Germany and the United States are now planning a fitting memorial to celebrate the fiftieth memorial of this remarkable discovery.
Perkin is not to be memorialized alone for his 'color discovery. The knowledge of his use of coal tar opened the way for other chemists to bring their learning to bear, and in rapid succession the world was given artificial perfumes, flavors, carbolic acid, medicines and compounds employed in developing photographic plates. Chemists are now so well acquainted with the properties of coal tar that they can almost make a color to order. In perfumes their best known product is tonone, which is the basis of imitation violet; in medicinal products acetanilid, sulphonal, phenacetine, analgene and antipyrine; and the oil of bitter almonds and saccharine are perhaps the best known of the artificial flavors.
Before Perkin created his sensation, chemists from the beginning of the nineteenth century, and even before, had been working for these results. Synthetic or constructive chemistry was their subject, and the years they put in on tedious research made them a secluded, reserved class of men, who to-day would be known as "grinds." Their labors brought them little returns, financially. The gay outside world regarded them as hermits, looked pertombingly on, and wondered, maybe, at the sacrifice.
But all this weary toll was not a waste of time. Years later, profiting by the studies of the pioneers, a man appeared who hit upon a solution of the problem. Artificial color was the result. The article he made had been known to exist in indigo, and its constituents were known, but no one before had ever put them together in a laboratory. The beauty and the cheapness of the color Perkin made excited great admiration, especially among those engaged in supplying the market with fabrics, and development was rapid.
Other products followed in quick succession, and the manufacturing world received an impetus such as it had never known. Results of the chemist's research work still continue, and each year sees brilliant discoveries added to the records of science. There is no reason now why any organic body should not be synthetically made if chemists can find what its composition and structure are. The only reason they cannot make an egg is that they do not know how to build the fabric. They have each composite part, but they cannot put them together, and, as one chelist remarked to the writer, "Building the structure doesn't properly belong to chemistry, anyway."
Synthetic quinine is the aim of the large body of chemists engaged in research work just at present. Others are working to produce sugar, and the men who find these formulae will make their fortunes. A way to produce synthetic quinine has been found, but it is yet too expensive for commercial purposes. Chemists have just begun to be appreciated in this country. Forty-five years ago, when the sugar Industry was begun here in the United States, Professor Chandler, of Columbia University, then a boy still at his studies, was given a job by a friend in the storehouse over in Brooklyn. The position was more to help the boy through his scientific course than anything else.
"But what shall I do?" asked the student.
"Do?" his benefactor replied. "Oh. do anything, but keep out of the way and don't ask questions!"
He who was some day to add his contributions to science took the patronizing friend at his word and did what he wanted to do without going to a superior every day for permission. The experiments and formulae learned in class room and laboratory were put into practical use and soon "the boy out in the back room" began sending in recommendations to headquarters as to savings here, expenditures there, a mass of economic detail that surprised the older heads.
That was years ago. To-day each sugar plant in the country has a laboratory and hundreds of chemists are employed. They are being taken into factories generally and put at research work and analysis. In competition the house that can produce the cheapest and the best is the successful one and here economy counts—therefore the research chemist.
In Germany, where the profession is farthest advanced, manufacturing establishments usually have a group of chemists. Maybe they will work for years without accomplishing any results, still their pay continues. Then, some day, the long-sought process or solution is obtained, and thousands of dollars saved. That is one reason why the Germans and the English excel us in chemical industry. They recognize the chemist's worth, and have forged ahead through his ingenuity.
William Henry Perkin, F. R. S., LL. D., Ph. D., D. Sc., V. P. C. S., is still alive, although this string of abbreviations after his name might lead some to think differently. He is working patiently in his laboratory in research study and experiments with just as much zeal as before the day when he made his "strike" in coal tar. Dr. Perkin was born in London on March 12, 1838, and studied chemistry under Dr. A. W. Hofmann at the Royal College of Chemistry, where he was afterwards assisting in his research laboratory. It was here Dr. Perkin made his coal tar sensation by the discovery of the mauve dye in 1830. He was then only eighteen years of age. Subsequently he became interested in the manufacture of coal tar-colors, and continued in this work until 1874. Since then Dr. Perkin's time has been occupied in research work and writing. His publications are numerous, and include a circle range of subjects.
Although an Englishman discovered the value of coal tar and English manufacturers were the first to put the country's large deposits of the raw material to practical use, Germany has succeeded in taking the industry away from the Britons, and is now importing the raw material to keep her factories supplied and running. Germany has taken the lead, because the Government has done everything possible to encourage the profession as well as the industry, and her chemists are masters who lead the world.
America produces immense quantities of coal tar. It is formed from the old-fashioned process of making coal gas, and although this system is now out of date, it is still used to make the coal tar now instead of the gas. As story is told and vouched for by an eminent authority that illustrates how highly this by-product is valued. It seems that not many years ago on the banks of the Schuylkill River, Philadelphia, was a gas works. That was in the days prior to Perkin's discovery. The gas men had no use for the coal tar, and its rapid accumulation soon became a nuisance and a burden to them.
The city would not permit the company to run the tar into the river, so the gas men put down a drain, which ostensibly was to empty into a big underground reservoir, but which really discharged into the river beneath the surface of the water. Coal tar is too thick a substance to mix with water. It congeals just like molasses candy, when in making it you drop it into a glass to see if it has boiled to the proper consistency. That is just what the coal tar discharged from this Philadelphia gas works did. When it flowed from the pipes of the gas works into the river it sank into a pocket in the river bottom, and formed a hard, solid deposit, gradually accumulating in size as the years rolled on. Then the new process of making gas came into vogue, and the old works on the Schuylkill were abandoned.
Several years after the value of the despised coal tar became known, a sharp-witted chemist, in nosing around the old gas works on the Schuylkill, discovered the drain pipe, and following it up found that the output of coal tar for years had been emptied into the river. It did not take long to engage a diver and set him to work, with the result that the rich deposit was located, finally brought to the surface and utilized to a considerable profit. The chemical industry is on the gain here in America, and is coming up with rapid bounds. One thing that has acted to keep it down is the present tax on alcohol, which it is expected, will be removed by this session of Congress. Alcohol is a great solvent, and in the different processes of manufacture and research work is used in great quantities. Not in the United States, however. Here at $2.50 a gallon it is prohibitive.
Alcohol can be made for fifteen cents a proof gallon, yet the tax on it here is $1.10 for every proof gallon made. It seems strange, but it is nevertheless true. In England and in Europe there is not this handicap, and with such a difference in the price existing in favor of the foreigners, one advantage they hold in research work is plain to be seen. Sentiment and a popular agitation on intemperance has helped greatly in influencing the Government to maintain its tax on alcohol. The United States has been against any policy which should encourage the production of alcohol as a beverage, and the enforcement of the law has cost the Government a lot of money. The moonshiners in the mountains and the illicit distillers in the crowded cities have been the transgressors.
Chemists acknowledge the danger of taking down all bars and permitting the wholesale manufacture of all kinds of alcohol. They have, however, at last made it plain to Congress that the sort of alcohol they wish to use in their profession is as different from run alcohol as whisky is from water. The New York section of the Society of Chemical Industry, which has done so much to advance all branches of the profession in America, is the group of men who are now working to raise a Perkin memorial in the form of a scholarship to encourage chemical research—H. J. C., in New York Post. Indiana paid $72,178,276 in wages in factories in 1905.

HABITS OF THE HOUSE FLY.
Harold Somers, M. A., Tells Whence He Comes, Whither He Goes.
The common house fly (Musca Domestica) is a creature of such secretive habits, that although from the very earliest times he has been with us, and the most ancient writers have mentioned and described him, still very little was known of his origin and history.
It remained for the eminent Boston biologist, Dr. A. S. Packard, in 1873, to make known his origin, habits and transformations from the egg through the larva state with its two changes to the pupa state, then to the perfect fly.
Near the first of August the female lays about 120 eggs of a dull gray color, selecting fresh horse manure in which to deposit her eggs, and so secretes them that they are rarely seen; it takes only twenty-four hours for them to hatch into the first form of lervs, a white worm one-quarter of an inch in length and one-tenth in diameter. They feed on the decaying matter of their environment, and two changes or casting of skins occur before they turn into the pupa state; this change comes very suddenly. The entire period from the egg to the pupa state is from three to four days. If moist food is wanting when in this condition they will eat each other and thus decrease their number. Heat and humidity greatly assist their development, as upon careful computation each pound of manure around stables and outhouses develops under favorable conditions over one thousand dies. It is no wonder that where these conditions exist, we have such a veritable harvest of the fly pest.
In the pupa state when the fly is about to emerge, the end of the pupa case splits off, making a hole through which the fly pushes a portion of its head; but here it seems to encounter a difficulty; the pupa case is too stiff and hard to pass through, but nature comes to its assistance, and a sort of bladder like substance forms behind the head, which swells out apparently filled with air; it acts as a means of pushing away the pupa case and releases the fly. When the fly first emerges it runs around with its wings soft, small and baggy; it is pale and the colors are not set; its head rapidly expands and the bladder formation passes away—within a few hours the wings grow and harden. It is now a perfect fly.
The whole time from the depositing of the egg to the perfect fly is not over ten days in duration. Many persons who observe small files in midsummer suppose they are the young, but such is not the case, they are files that are imperfectly nourished in the larvae and pupae states, and do not attain full size, in fact, they are the dwarfs of their race. The male fly differs from the female in the front of the head between the eyes, being at least one third narrower, though in size the female is rather smaller. In the pupa state they are often fed upon by the larvae of some of the beetles, notably that of the carpet beetle, whose pups, the dreaded buffalo "moth," will attack the young fly in the pupa case and eating it possess the case for itself.
Adult files, like most other creatures, have parasites of minute size that prey upon them; these can often be seen as presenting small red specks over the body of the fly.
Another enemy in the form of a fungus often attacks the fly in the early autumn. This makes its appearance as a white swelling and the white spores of the disease can be seen penetrating the body of the fly, which it finally distends and ruptures.
The fly bibernates in winter, but with his usual secretive habit, it is very difficult to find him in his winter quarters. With the first chill of autumn the files feeling the cold, seek temporary warmth in houses, and clustering together form bunches in the corners of walls and other places. They are then sluggish and not so active as in the warm weather. However, they do not make a permanent stay indoors, but on the first mild, sunny day, seek the windows to get out and find their permanent winter hiding place; many prefer to make their homes in the roots of grass on lawns where they hide themselves so effectually that the ice and snow of winter does not destroy them in their bibernating state. If in the first warm days of spring when the snow is gone and the grass on the lawns becomes dry and warm, long before the yellow dandelion shows its head, a close observer may see numbers of files crawling up on the grass to get the welcome sunshine, their wings standing out stiff and tusselless; but they-soon acquire the power of flight in the warm rays of the sun. A great many days, however, elapse before they appear in the homes of men, where they are such unwelcome visitors.
In recent years, the medical profession have demonstrated that while the fly itself does not propagate disease, it is one of the most industrious carriers of disease germs which by contact address to his feet, hairy legs and body, distributing them to innocent victims. If every house-keeper could know all these interesting facts which have never before been brought to their attention, they would realize the importance of securing the very best fly exterminator.

Thousands Write to Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn,

Absolutely Confidential and Free
There can be no more terrible ordeal
to a delicate, sensitive, refined woman
than to be obliged to answer certain
questions in regard to her private ill,
even when those questions are asked
by her family physician, and many
Mr T. C. Willadsen
continue to suffer rather than submit to examinations which so many physicians propose in order to intelligently treat the disease; and this is the reason why so many physicians fail to cure female disease.
This is also the reason why thousands upon thousands of women are corresponding with Mrs Pinkham, daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. To her they can confide every detail of their illness, and from her great knowledge, obtained from years of experience in treating female illis, Mrs. Pinkham can advise sick women more wisely than the local physician. Read how Mrs. Pinkham helped Mrs. C. Willadsen of Manning, Ia. She wrote: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: that you have saved my life, and I cannot express my gratitude in words. Before I wrote to you telling you how I felt, I had doctored for over two years steadily, and spent lots of money in medicines besides, but it all failed to do my good. I had female trouble and would daily have felt sick, and my monthly periods were very irregular and finally ceased. I wrote to you for your advice and received a letter full of instructions just what to do, and also commenced to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Had it not been restored to perfect health. Had it not been you, I would have been in my wray to-day.
Mountains of proof establish the fact that no medicine in the world equals Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for restoring women's health.

The thumb print method of personal identification has again triumphed. It is an ancient and primitive device, but it seems to hold its own in empathy with all the elaborate rules and labors of the Bertillon system. Of course, says the New York Tribune, a criminal could conceal his identity by chopping off his thumb, but most men would hesitate long before resorting to so serious a mutilation. Besides, the absence of that tell-tale member would itself be a suspicious circumstance.

CITY
NEW YORK TO HAVE HIGHEST OFFICE STRUCTURE.
It Will Be Thirty Stories High and Will Cost $3,250,000—To Be Located on Lower Broadway at Cortlandt Street.
Giant among those buildings of the world, the City Investing Building company will tower above the great structures of lower Broadway, New York city. This latest product of the architect and builder's art is to be 30 stories high in its central part and 25 stories throughout the remainder.
It will cover a ground area of 27,000 square feet at Broadway and Cort-

landt street, surrounding the old Bendict building. The western part will cover the site of the Coal and Iron Exchange, at Cortlandt and Church streets, with a frontage in Cortlandt street of 209 feet and of 103 feet in Church street. The Broadway entrance will be in Nos. 165 and 167, and a main corridor 38 feet wide will run through to Church street, a distance of 315 feet.
The cost of this pile will be more than $3,250,000. In line with the policy of Robert E. Dowling, president of the City Investing company, to give to tenants quick and abundant transportation facilities, the building will have 21 elevators.
It is probable that the building will have an entrance to the McAdoo tunnel, which will come up to Church street, under Cortlandt street, and will turn north under the south side of that thoroughfare. This has not yet been decided upon.
In style of architecture the building will be what is technically known as free Italian. The adoption of this type of architecture has given the architect, Francis H. Kimball, an opportunity to produce a structure whose massive appearance will be imposing.
THE MAJESTY OF THE LAW
Not Essential to the Drawing of an Understandable Will.
Every man who has ever tried to guess one of those conundrums known as insurance policies, or who has ever attempted to translate into intelligent English any legal document, with all its whereas and its herobys and its aforesaid, will appreciate the sentiments of Deacon Elphonzo Youngs, of Washington, who, when making his will, harkened to the lawyer's opening paragraph, and then exclaimed: "Rats! all there is about this is that at my death I want by ever-faithful and devoted wife, Amella, to have and control everything I possess."
If that will would not hold in law, says the Four-Track News—there being no possible room for doubt as to the intent thereof—the fault is with the law, not the will.

A little lacquered, wooden box, now in the possession of the Lynn Historical society, and labeled simply "Old Jury Box," could, had it a tongue, tell a long and most interesting story of the growth of the town and city of Lynn during the past 200 years.
The box itself is like most other boxes made in the early part of the eighteenth century, dovetail at the corners and glued together. It is not a large box, yet the names of many of Lynn's best citizens have been drawn from it for service on a jury sitting in judgment on their fellowmen.
On the bottom of the box are the figures "1732," and it is thought that this is the date the box was made. By whom it was constructed nobody seems to know, and nothing can be found in the old town records regarding its use. However, it is known that it was used nearly 200 years, and that it is probably the oldest box in Lynn to-day.
From the time it was constructed until 1993 it was in constant use. But as the years rolled by and the town grew into a city, and a small city into one of great proportions, the box proved too small to hold the names of the jurors.
In 1903 City Clerk Joseph W. Attwill ordered a new jury box to be made. This is of oak and much larger than the old box. Soon after the completion of the new box the old box was presented to the Lynn Historical society, and at present rests in a large wall cabinet.
The box has a ball of hand-wrought iron and an old-fashioned lock and hinges of the same material. A little slot in the top admits of dropping the names into the box. The inside is left in the natural wood, but the outside is lacquered, and is about the color of old mahogany.
ODD TIMBER RAFTS:

TIMBER RAFT AFLOAT.
on a scale which we in our little country can scarcely imagine, says the London Sphere. Many of these rafts float of their own accord, while others are hauled by curious vessels known as "alligators." They are specially used on the Canadian lakes and rivers and have been described as a cross between a boat and a grasshopper, for they can navigate a dry and dusty road or make their way through a swamp or over a windfall. The Lumber Jack is said to be losing some of his old picturesqueness, but he retains enough individuality to mark him off from other classes of workers. He is simple and natural, generous and fearless, manly and independent. The picture shown in this column illustrate the method of lumbering in western Washington. When the logs are cut they are either skidded down to the rivers or are floated thither and bound together with enormous chains. In many cases they are built into a sort of floating cage which is released from beneath them when the pile is completed. It is no uncommon sight to see a raft containing log worth $1,000,000.

A DEFI FROM GZAR
ALL DEMANDS REFUSED
Answer to Reply of Douma to Throne Speech Wildena Breach and Means Civil War, or Backdown by the Government.
A St. Petersburg special says: Before a house more crowded than on the opening day, with every member in his seat and the press and public galleries crowded to suffocation, Premier Goremykin Saturday afternoon read to the lower house of parliament the expected declaration of the government's policy, pronouncing the imperial negative on the most cherished hopes and plans of the people's representatives. The scene before the opening was one of great but suppressed excitement. All present were aware that the response would utterly fail to meet the wishes of the lower house.
Gauntlet Thrown Down.
At the end of a memorable seven-hour session the lower house of parliament Saturday evening indignantly rejected the government's policy as presented by Premier Goremykin and with only seven dissenting voices voted a lack of confidence in the ministry, practically throwing down the gauntlet to the bureaucracy with a demand for the retirement of the present cabinet and its suppression by a ministry approved by the majority in the house.
The spirit of absolute revolution is in the air and a conflict between the crown and nation now appears to be inevitable. While the house avoided the appearance of delivering an ultimatum, the government seems to have no alternative except surrender or war. The gloomiest forebodings are everywhere expressed, and the general impression is that the country is on the verge of a gigantic struggle which may be delayed but not averted. Dispatches received from the interior indicate that the struggle possibly may be inaugurated at once with a general strike, when the people learn that all amnesty has been refused them.
While the premier's statement promised co-operation with the lower house "in so far as the latter does not transgress the limits of the fundamental laws," it recognized the agrarian question as paramount, proposing to remedy the deficiency in land through the operation of an agrarian bank and migration of Siberia. It proposed the introduction of universal and compulsory education, the reform of the administration and the realization of the four liberties.
Premier Goremykin's statement, however, returned a non-possumus on the burning question raised by the house in its reply to the speech from the throne. It declared that the government's flat and exceptional laws cannot be withdrawn until murder and terrorism cease. The expropriation of appanages of the crown and church and private lands was declared to be inadmissible. The right of investigation of administrative acts, the statement declared, belonged to the crown, the house having only the power of interpellation. Amnesty, Premier Goremykin said, was solely the prerogative of the emperor.
Such briefly was the government's reply to the address of the house, and the premier's words seemed to arouse all the latent resentment in the hearts of the members of the house. The constitutional democratic leaders, for the first time, gave free range to their passions and with flaming words orator after orator declared the government's program inadmissible and said that the ministry must give way to a cabinet, in which the people had confidence. M. Roditcheff announced that the government's reply had dashed to the ground all his hope of working in harmony with the administration. M. Kovalesky enacted the role of Mirabeau, practically paraphrasing the Frenchman's words: "We are here by the will of the people and nothing but bayonets can disperse us," while half a dozen peasant members hurled defiance at the ministry.
Even Count Hayden, the leader of the right, deserted the government's side, saying that inasmuch as the government had refused to redeem its promise to repeal the exceptional law his vote also was for censura. With breathless anxiety, society awaits the government's response to the bold action of the lower house.

Urges United States to Intervene, and
Insure Honest and Fair Election,
Which Is Soon to Occur.
The municipal council of Panama
in extraordinary session, held May 24,
unanimously adopted the following
declaration:
"Considering (1) that the government
of the United States, interpreting
article seven of the canal treaty
and article 136 of the constitution of
the republic of Panama, has determined
to intervene in this country
to maintain therelie peace and constitutional order.
"2. That such resolution confers on the government of the United States the faculty of intervening in the internal relations existing between the established government and the people which founded it.
"3. That the right of suffrage is the fundamental basis of the republic and the only constitutional means of proving the succession of public power.
"4. That for the legitimate succession of this national power it is absolutely necessary that popular elections be verified, to their legality, purity and honesty, in order that no citizen may be deprived of the right of franchise, and that citizenship be not conferred upon those not possessing that right.
"5. That the next election, the country's first, for representatives of the people, ought to be realized with the greatest order, and at the same time with the greatest purity and honesty, in order that it may serve as an example and give stability and respectability to its institutions.
"6. That acts of violence and fraud already executed by agents of the government in imprisoning members of the electoral corporations and innocent citizens, increasing the number of police, sending out detachments armed with rifles to intimidate citizens, destroying voters' lists in districts in which the opposition possess a majority, and falsifying others, evidently demonstrates that the next election will be conducted in the most daringly literal manner.
"Resolved, That we solicit the intervention and authority of the United States in the popular elections of June 24 and July 1, in order that they may be realized without favor to any and without prejudice to any legitimate interest, allowing each citizen a free and spontaneous vote.
"The municipal council of Panama, which is the same corporation that assumed on November 5, 1903, the responsibility for the government for separation from Columbia, for the betterment of our native land and for establishing a just government, respectable and obedient to the laws, consider it their duty to express hereby the hope cherished that that the illustrious government of the United States, penetrated by the historic responsibility, voluntarily accepted before the world, will favorably receive their petition, which tends to strengthen the ties of sympathy and gratitude between the Panama people and the United States.
"We send a copy of this resolution to his excellency,Theodore Roosevelt, president of the United States, and to the honorable secretaries of state and war, and publish it as a fly sheet.
"Dated at Panama, May 24.
"C. AROSEMENA, President."
Why Parson Broughton's Female Private Secretary Wanted to Die. While in a state of alleged mental aberration, Miss Rosa Holmes, the young private secretary to Rev. Len Broughton, Monday morning, attempted suicide by plunging into Lake Abana, at Grant park, Atlanta. The screams of a number of women visitors brought the park attaches to the lake and their prompt work saved the young woman's life. Miss Holmes has been in the employ of Rev. Broughton for some time. She is twenty years old. To those who talked with her after her rescue the young woman declared that she was too wicked to live.
FAST MAILS FOR SOUTH.
Provision is Retained by Senate' In Postoffice Bill. The southern fast mail provision has been adopted by the senate in the postoffice appropriation bill, thus insuring the appropriation for another year. The controversy over the wording of the proviso relative to approval by the postmaster general resulted in the adoption of language practically the same as that of the house proviso, so there is no obstacle in the way of the appropriation which means so much to the business interests of the south.

THOSE WHO WANT.
CAPTAIN AND MATRON FIRED.
Outcome of Sensational Row In Atlanta Police Department.
After an executive session of almost four hours, the Atlanta board of police commissioners, Monday night, ordered the dismissal from the force of both Captain Z. B. Moon and Police Matron Mary Bohnefeld.
Captain Moon was found not guilty of all the charges and specifications made against him with the exception of the last. It was moved that "Captain Z. B. Moon be found guilty of conduct unbecoming an officer and member of the force in causing the publication in the-Atlanta Constitution of April 26, 1906, the article complained of in the pending charges against him." This motion was unanimously adopted and Captain Moon was ordered dismissed from the force.
Mrs. Bohnefeld was found not guilty of all the charges and specifications filed against her with the exception of a portion of specification number 8. She was found guilty of using improper language on several occasion and a motion was made dismissing her from the force, which was unanimously adopted. The decision of the commissioners concluded one of the longest and most tedious trials in the history of the Atlanta police force. The first charge was made by Mrs. Bohnefeld, alleging that Capta. Moon had been too familiar with certain women in her department. She specified certain alleged acts of misconduct.
Captain Moon replied to Mrs. Bohnefeld's charges with counter charges in which he alleged a number of things too salacious to print. Among other things, he charged the matron with arranging for certain of her wards to go to improper places, and with using, language of a most improper character. The matron was exonerated of all the allegations which were made against her with the exception of the charge that she had used improper language on certain occasions.
