VOL. XXI. CONVICTS KILLED Three Life-Term Men Lose Life in Attempting Escape. THEY FIRST SLEW GUARD Break Made at Saw Mill Plant in Louisiana—All the Convicts Were White and Were Sent Up from New Orleans. Four dead, and one dangerously, perhaps fatally wounded, all white men, is the result of an attempt by three life-term convicts to escape from Angola, La., state convict farm, on Wednesday, at nine o'clock. The dead are: Captain J. W. Block, foreman of state convict saw mill; Jim Singleton, Byrd and Dutch, convicts. Wounded: J. W, Gibson, guard, shot through the body, the ball passing through the liver. All of the convicts were sent up from New Orleans and were working in the sawmill. Wednesday morning at nine o'clock while Captain Block was reading a paper, Singleton secured his revolver and, in company with Dutch and Byrd, were making off, when the attention of the guard, Gibson, was attracted. Gibson fired on the party and Singleton returned the shot, shooting Gibson through the body, and as Gibson fell, Byrd secured his revolver. Compelling the foreman, Block, to accompany them, the convicts started toward the river, and had placed their captive in a skiff when they were fired on by a trusty named Deleath. Singleton then shot and killed Block. Pay Guard J. T. Ogden joined Deleath and in the fusillade of shots that followed, the three convicts were killed. Gibson was sent to Natchez, Miss., 72 miles up the river, on the mall steamer Betsy Ann and conveyed to the Natchez charity hospital. Physicians declare his wound may prove fatal. A report to the state penitentiary officials says that Captain Block was killed by the convicts after they had threatened to take his life if anyone fired on them, and after the threat had betn disregarded. BAGGAGE BILL PAS8ED. Measure Compels Roads to Check All the Way to Destination. A bill of great importance both to the railroads and to the travelling public was passed by the house Wednesday under suspension of the rules, regulating the checking of baggage by common carriers. The bill compels common carriers engaged in interstate commerce to check baggage to its destination on transportation offered whether in the form of what is known as "split tickets" or a regular form of ticket on one line and a mileage or other ticket on another line, to the destination where a ticket to the junction point of termination of one road is offered and a mileage book, or other transportation on the connecting road to the destination of the baggage was effected. The bill makes a refusal on the part of the railroads to carry out its terms a misdemeanor and provides a penalty for its infraction. ROOSEVELT ON MASSACRES President to Investigate Russian Horrors, But Cannot Interfere. A telegram from President Roosvelt relative to the recent massacre of Jews in Russia was read Wednesday night at a mass meeting of Jews in New York city. 'In it the president said: "I shall go over the matter with Secretary Root. You know how deeply we sympathize with your feelings and how shocked and horrified we are at what has occurred in Russia, but you know also how well nigh impossible it is to accomplish anything but harm by interference. "THEODORE ROOSEVELT." LESTER'S BODY ENTOMBED. Funeral of Dead Congressman Largely Attended at Savannah. The funeral of the late Congressman Rufus E. Lester took place Wednesday afternoon from St. John's church in Savannah. It was largely attended, a great concourse of citizens appearing at the church to pay the last tokens of respect to the memory of the distingushed dead. The cortege that followed the body to its resting place in historic Bonaventure cemetery was of great length, and the closing service at the grave was marked by great solemnity. The Savannah Tribune. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. JUNE 23, 1906. GEOGIA'S PROSPERITY Shown in Reports Received by Comptroller General Wright from Tax Collectors in the State. As an indication of the general prosperity which is prevalent throughout Georgia, and which, it appears, is on the constant increase, Comptroller General W. A. Wright is receiving letters almost daily from tax collectors in various sections of the state, in which they tell him that the property returns for taxation this year will show an increase equal practically to the almost unprecedented increase shown by the returns of last year. It is regarded as little short of marvelous that Georgia should show an increase of more than forty millions in property returns two years in succession, but the indications are that this is coming again when the 1905 digests are examined, and this will mean that the total taxable valuations in Georgia will be carried away over the $800,000,000 mark. The total property returns for 1901 were $530,000,000. In 1905 they jumped up to $677,000,000, showing an increase of $37,000,000 in general property returns and $10,000,000 in corporation returns. Another increase like that of 1905 and the total returns of taxable property in Georgia will be carried up close to $625,000,000. And in the event that 1907 should show similar results, Georgia would return in her taxable values to the high tide which she knew before the civil war, when, with all the slaves, the highest total reached was near $675,000,000. There will be an increase this year in the returns of corporations amounting to $4,000,000 or $5,000,000. The total returns of corporation property in 1905 were $83,000,000 in round numbers. This year the total from corporations will be about $83,000,000. The value of Georgia's corporation property is getting close to the one hundred million mark, or about one-sixth of the total taxable property of the state. This year's increase in the corporation returns will be secured by the comptroller general, it appears now, without a single arbitration. Where he thought the returns too small, he has simply so indicated, and as the result of conferences with officials of the companies interested he has secured practically all he has asked for. In addition, there has been some new railroad mileage returned, particularly that of the Louisville and Nashville, between Cartersville and the Tennessee lines, and also the new mileage constructed by the Atlantic and Birmingham Railroad company. CONVICT CASE GOES UP. Both Sides to Controversy Displeased Over Court Decision The recent decree of Judge Pendleton in the superior court at Atlanta in the case of the Georgia Iron and Coal company against the prison commission of Georgia and Hamby & Toomer, in which an injunction was granted restraining Hamby & Toomer from having transferred to their use 50 convicts whose services the Georgia Iron and Coal company had acquired by sublease, will be taken to the supreme court, both the Georgia Iron and Coal company and Hamby & Toomer being dissatisfied with portions of the decree. BANKS TO MAKE SHOWING. Georgia State Treasurer Park Calls Upon Institutions for Statement. State Treasurer R. E. Park of Georgia issued a call Wednesday on all of the state banks of Georgia, 273 in number, for a statement of their condition at the close of business on June 18. This is the same day upon which the call was made upon the national banks of this and other states by the comptroller of the currency. A composite statement will, therefore, show the condition of all the banks in Georgia as a whole. Senate Helds a Night Session. The senate Wednesday decided to hold a night session to consider the sundry civil appropriation bill. GEORGIA LABOR FEDERATION Molds Forth in Augusta with Large Attendance of Delegates. The eighth annual convention of the Georgia Federation of Labor opened in the Richmond courthouse at Augusta Wednesday with about 100 delegates present and with every indication of a most successful session. Atlanta showed the largest delegation at the convention, there being about 75. Boosting Atlanta, some of the delegates wore red badges with the inscription "Atlanta, 1910." PRESIDENT WINNER In Squabble Over Provision of Pending Meat Bill. COMMITTEE WILL ACCEDE New Measure to Contain No Court Review Feature—Government to Appropriate $3,000,000 Annually for Inspections. A Washington special says: The basis of a complete agreement on the meat inspection legislation between President Roosevelt and the house committee on agriculture was arrived at Monday at the white house. Speaker Cannon represented the committee in this instance and subsequently spent some time explaining the situation to the committee in its rooms at the capitol. The bill was practically complete when the committee adjourned Monday. It will authorize an annual appropriation of $3,000,000 to pay the cost of inspection and will contain no provision for the levy of an assessment to make up any deficiency in the amount available for this work as suggested by Mr. Cowan, representing the Texas cattle growers, and later urged by the president. The court review provision will not be contained in the measure. This action meets the suggestion of the president. The words "in the judgment of the secretary of agriculture" will not be inserted, as suggested by the president, and this conclusion now meets Mr. Roosevelt's approval. The section waiving the civil service law for one year in the selection of inspectors will go out of the provision, also one of the president's recommendation. There is to be no date on the label of the packing of meat food products. In this the president yields to the committee. The language which gives the inspectors the right to the packing plants at all times is amplified by the words "whether the same be in operation or not." With these changes made, the president has indicated his entire satisfaction with the measure which was reported from the committee as a substitute for the Beveridge amendment, and was Monday recommitted to the committee that the change may be made. Speaker Cannon was accompanied to the white house. by Representative Adams of Wisconsin, a member of the agricultural committee. Ordinarily, the speaker does not take the active part in legislation which he has in the present instance. It has been explained, however, that he regards the passage of an adequate inspection bill with all possible speed, as vitally essential to the welfare of many important industries throughout the country. The objection which was urged to the president as a reason why he should not insist on giving authority to the secretary of agriculture to levy a tax to make up any deficiency was the constitutional provision that congress shall levy all taxes. A head tax on animals, it was pointed out, would be an exceedingly unequal one, as the value of a fine beef steer would be much greater than a steer of inferior weight and condition, yet the tax would have to be the same. The same condition would prevail as to all other animals killed for food. The guarantee of the constitution of every man's right to have his grievances, heard before a court was also presented to the president forcefully as a reason why the decision of the secretary of agriculture should not be made final, as would be the case should the words "in the discretion of the secretary of agriculture" be inserted throughout the measure. In this argument, it is understood, the president acquiesced on the ground of its containing a fundamental principle of guaranteed rights. DEATH LURKED IN SAUSAGE. Farmer and His Two Children Poisoned by Eating Bologna. J. B. Baremoore, a farmer residing near Fort Smith, Ark., and his children, Emma, aged 5 years, and James, aged 18 months, died Monday at Bellepoint hospital at Fort Smith from poisoning. They had eaten bologna sausage. A daughter, aged seven years, is at the point of death. The mother ate none of the sausage, and is not affected. The deadly stuff was purchased from a street lunch stand. JUSTICE WAS SWIFT Stealer of Young Boy Hustled to Penitentiary. IS GIVEN TWENTY YEARS Arrested Monday and Little Over an Hour Occupied in His Trial Tuesday, When Kean Donned the Prison Stripes. Twenty years of hard labor in solitary confinement in the Eastern penitentiary was the sentence pronounced at Philadelphia Tuesday on John Joseph Kean, the abductor of little Freddie Muth. The enormity of the man's crime, which had aroused the whole city, stirred the officers of the law to quick action, and the swiftness with which justice moved has never been equalled in the community. Kean fell into the clutches of the law Monday afternoon about the time the courts were closing. Promptly at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning he was photographed and measured by the Bertillion method. Twenty-five minutes later he had been arraigned before Magistrate Elsenhroom and committed to court without ball. The grand jury quickly found a true bill. At 11:20 a.m. he was in the criminal court awaiting his turn to face Judge Sultzberger. Shortly after 12 o'clock the judge passed sentence upon him, and at 1:30 o'clock the great iron doors of the penitentiary closed on him; In his quick trip from liberty to the solitude of Cherryhill, the institution which Dickens made famous in his "American Notes," by condemning its system of solitary confinement, no friendly hand or voice was raised in the prisoner's behalf. If he behaves himself his sentence, under the law, will be reduced to twelve years and three months. The court had the power to give him a life sentence. When Kean was taken before Judge Sultzberger he requested that he be allowed to make a statement. He said there were mitigating circumstances in connection with the kidnapping, but the judge told the prisoner he must either plead guilty or not guilty, Kean then pleaded guilty. Three witnesses, the two special policemen who made the arrest and the proprietor of the eating house who had seen Kean and the lad together, then gave testimony before the judge. No jury was chosen. Freddie Muth was brought to the court room by his father. He was a different boy from the child who was found dirty and hungry in the unoccupied house after a week's enforced absence from home. He was attired in a neat blue flannel sailor suit, and a pink rose was pinned to his lapel. Mr. Muth said the child was none the worse for his experience. In strong contrast was the appearance of the abductor. After a sleepless night in the cell, he was haggard and wan. His eyes shifted nervously and his whole frame trembled. He still seemed to fear bodily injury and eyed the spectators suspiciously. The police say he paced the cell all night sobbing and moaning, his wife and children being uppermost in his mind. When he was placed in the dock, Kean nodded to Freddie Muth, who sat beside his father, and the boy smiled. Pointing to Kean, the little fellow said: "There he is, papa, see?" Much sympathy is expressed for the wife and three children Kean leaves without, means of support. Mrs. Kean is prostrated by the shock, and disgrace that the abduction has brought upon the family. She will break up her home and remove to New Pork, where she has relatives. Traveling Fund for President The house committee on appropriations Tuesday voted a favorable report on the Wilson bill authorizing an annual appropriation of $50,000 to pay the traveling expenses of the president of the United States and such guests as he may invite WAS SUING FOR DIVORCE. Claims of Woman for Husband'a Death Results In Complication. The mother of Oscar Cook, the young man killed in the picnic wreck at Atlanta, is now arrayed in court against his wife through a damage suit which she filed Tuesday. She sues for $20,000, claiming in the suit that Mrs. Oscar Cook, who is also suing the roads, is not his widow. At the time of the death of the young man, Mrs. Oscar Cook was suing for divorce, but withdrew her petition at his death. KIDNAPER BEHIND BARS. Philadelphia Ex-Broker, in Financial Straits, Stole Young Boy With Hope of Getting Big Ransom. Freddie Muth, the seven-year-old Philadelphia boy, who was kidnapped from school in that city nearly a week ago, was recovered from his captor in a sensational manner Monday. For several days the identity of the kidnaper was known to the police, but, despite the efforts of 400 men who have been working on the case, he was not located until Monday afternoon. Accompanied by one of his men, Chief of Detectives Donaghy went to 426 North Sixty-second street, West Philadelphia, and there found John Joseph Kean with his captivo. Kean attempted to escape, and was shot at by the detectives. The bullets missed their aim, but Kean surrendered and was taken to police headquarters. The kidnaper, who is 42 years old, is described as a former stock broker who had recently been a real estate agent. He has a wife and three children, and it is believed that his desperate financial situation drove him to his crime. In communications to the father of the child, he demanded $5,000 for its return, and in a letter written on Friday declared he would kill the child and himself if the money was not forthcoming. Kean's terms were acceded to in a "personal" inserted in all of Saturday's papers. In a subsequent letter Kean proposed new terms and these were likewise accepted and another "personal" was inserted in Sunday's newspapers. Meanwhile misleading stories were given to the public by the police in order to serve their purpose. The boy was unharmed except that he bore evidence of suffering from hunger and exposure. When the kidnaper and his victim were brought before Superintendent of Police Taylor, the little one still had in his hand the school book which he carried with him when he was enticed from school by a decoy note purporting to be from his mother, and stating that she was in a hospital suffering from an accident. The capture of Kean was primarily due to the publication in Monday's newspapers that the police had abandoned their search for the kidnapped boy and his abductor. This threw Kean off his guard and he ventured outside the house. Blair pounced on him and succeeded in forcing a confession from him. When the boy was found in the house he was extremely dirty. He said he had been kept constantly in the house; had been given bread and milk to eat and was not mistreated. Kean kept constant watch from the windows of the house. When anyone approached he would carry the boy to the roof. After making a statement Kean was locked up and the boy was taken to the home of his parents. AGITATORS CAUSÉD TROUBLE. Head of Copper Company at Cananea Throws Light on Rlotting. In a letter filed with the state department at Washington and dated at Cananea, Sonoro, Mexico, June 11, W. C. Green, president of the copper company at whose mines in Cananea the rioting occurred early this month, charges that agitators from the western federation had been through the mines inciting the Mexicans and telling how he was warned of the plot to dynamite the bank and to inaugurate a revolution against President Dlaz. He reviews details already published and says, among other things: "On the night of May 31, I was informed by a man working in the Cobre Grande that a Mexican there had told him trouble was going to start in Cananea on the morning of June 1 at 5 o'clock; that a socialist club had held three meetings at midnight on the night of May 30, at which a large number of agitators of socialist tendencies were present; that agitators of the western federation had been through the mines inciting the Mexicans and that they had been furnishing money for the socialist club that had been established at Cananea. He also gave us a couple of copies of a revolutionary circular that had been widely distributed together with a number of other details." Mr. Green adds that all federation agitators were ordered out of town, and "I think there are about 87 of the agitators (Mexican) now in jail," that many of them were deported from Mexico and southern California, who have previously taken part in labor troubles; and that all of the revolutionary club that stirred up, the feeling escaped across the line the first night. He estimates that "about twenty. Mexicans were killed for each white man." ISOKLAHOMASTATE President Signs Bill Adding New Star to Our Flag. EXIT INDIAN TERRITORY President Used Two Pens in Making Signature, One of Gold for Indian Another star was added to the union Saturday when President Roosevelt signed the bill admitting Oklahoma and the Indian Territory as one state. The measure also provides that Arizona and New Mexico may be admitted to statehood as the state of Arizona, provided the people of the territories vote in favor of admission on the terms submitted to them by congress. The signing of the measure was made the occasion of an interesting ceremony. Senator Beveridge and Representative Hamilton, respectively, chairmen of the house and senate committees on territories, who have worked long and hard to bring about the enactment of the measure, were present, as also were Delegate McGuire of Oklahoma, and a delegation of residents of Oklahoma; Delegate Andrews of New Mexico, Secretary Loeb and several others. The president used two pens in signing the measure, writing his first name, "Theodore," with a solid gold pen presented by the people of Arizona, and his family name, "Roosevelt," with an eagle's quill taken from an American eagle in Oklahoma. After signing the bill, President Roosevelt congratulated Senator Beveridge and Representative Hamilton on the completion of their long and arduous labors in connection with the measure. He expressed in strong terms the hope that the people of Arizona and New Mexico would avail themselves of the opportunity afforded them by the law to come into the union as a state. From every viewpoint, he said he regarded it as the wise thing to do, as they were now offered an opportunity which might not again be offered in a score of years. The president said, too; he had a personal interest in the admission of Arizona and New Mexico, as many of the members of his regiment, the Rough Riders, resided in those territories. He added that he hoped sincerely the people of the territories would not lose the opportunity thus presented to them. LOUISIANA PUTS UP BARS. Passenger Traffic from All Tropical Fruit Ports is Quarantined. A quarantine order prohibiting all passenger traffic from all tropical fruit ports to Louisiana was, issued Saturday by Dr. C. H. Irion, president of the state board of health. The order was issued because of a report received in New Orleans from the resident medical inspector at Port Lilmo, Costa Rica, stating that within the last few days 150 persons from Colon had arrived there, many of Limo, Costa Rica, stating that with-of yellow fever, Bluefields, Nicaragua and Bellize, British Honduras, are shut out by this order. A COSTLY CHILDISH PRANK Little Girl Confesses That She Caused Wreck of Train. Little Alice Kyle, a school girl, and daughter of a farmer, residing between Macksburg and Elba, Ohio, has confessed to having caused the wreck of the "Pennsylvania Flyer," near the latter town in which two passenger coaches were overturned and the engine, tender and mail car hurled down an embankment. The girl, who is 12 years old, says that she wedged a rail bolt between the ends of two rails just to see the train smash it as it had smashed nails and pennies. The girl will not be arrested, as the railroad officials are satisfied that it was a childish prank. TREPOFF A MARKED MAN. Woman Gained Admittance to Palace and Drew Revolver. A circumstantial report was in circulation at St. Petersburg Tuesday of an attempt on the life of General Trepoff by a well dressed woman masquerading as Princess Marishin. According to the rumor the woman gained admittance to the palace and when the general appeared she drew a revolver, but it was seized before she could fire. It is said that General Trepoff himself caught the woman in his arms and prevented her from firing. Largest Sick and Death Benefits; Smallest Premiums. The Guaranty Aid and Relief Society SOL. C.

Postmaster Jackson of Chipley, who was fired at by Abb Hastey, at the time the latter killed Colonel T. T. Murrah, has left Chipley. His wife has been discharging the duties of the office since his departure. At last reports Abb Hastey was still at large. The series of tragedies has greatly stirred the Chipley community. Women Held for Horse Stealing. The two women who were arrested recently at Greensboro and returned to Atlanta charged with stealing a team from a livery stable, and who gave the names of Miss Clara Clark and Mrs. Blanche Clark, have been indicted for horse stealing by the Fulton county grand jury. One of the women, it is charged, went to the stables, and said that she wanted to hire a horse and buggy until six o'clock. That was in the morning, and that night, the woman, not having returned, the police were notified. The women were traced to Greensboro, where they were put under arrest and sent back to Atlanta. They claim that they bought the team from some other person. Surplus Cash from State Farm. The state prison commission has just turned into the state treasury $3,139.71 from the sale of small farm products raised on the state farm near Milledgeville. The products sold were such as hay; potatoes, vegetables, hogs and beef, raised in excess of the quantity needed for consumption on the farm. While no definite day has been fixed, the commission has decided to sell the state's 500 bales of cotton grown on the farm, at once, and that this will be put on the market, probably the latter part of this month. It is expected to bring between $25,000 and $30,000. The state farm, which is worked by that class of convict labor for which there is no market, including women and youths, and those men classed as not able-bodied, will, it is stated, make a better showing this year than ever before in its history. Charge Against Liquor Dealers. At a recent meeting of the tax committee of the Atlanta city council, sensational charges were made against Blutenthal & Bickert, wholesale liquor Reward Offered for Convict. Rewards amounting to $325 have been offered for the capture of Shelly Wilson, alias Will Smith, the negro escaped convict, who shot and killed Marshal Morris of Midville, and fatally wounded J. J. Pope, a citizen of that place. A reward of $250 has been offered by Governor Terrell, and there is already a reward of $75, which was offered some time ago by state prison board. Governor Busy With Message. Governor Terrell is busy writing his message to the general assembly which convenes on June 27 for a session of 50 days. It will be a week before he completes it and places it in the hands of the printer. So far as is known, he will touch upon no particularly new subject, but he will, no doubt, call attention to the general prosperity which is prevalent everywhere in the state. Commissioner Hudson's Report. The report of Commissioner of Agriculture T. G. Hudson for the year ending December 31, 1905, is just from the hands of the printer. It is a neatly bound pamphlet of nineteen pages, replete with information concerning the workings of the agricultural department and contains the reports of ex-Commissioner O. B. Stevens, the report of the state oil inspector, the state chemist, the state entomologist and the report of the superintendent of fisheries. University Dooms Football. The trustees of the University of Georgia, at their meeting in Athens, the past week, passed a resolution declaring that, after this year, there shall be no more football games played by the students of the university. Owing to the fact that there are a number of games already scheduled for this fall, 1906, football is allowed until the fall of 1907, when it will be completely cut out of the Georgia curriculum of sports, unless the rules of the game are greatly modified. Election for Bonds Called in Tift. Ordinary W. S. Walker of Tift county has ordered an election to be held on Saturday, July 21, at all the election precincts in Tift county, to authorize the issuance of bonds to the amount of $60,000 for the purpose of paying for a court house and jail for Tift county. Of this amount, $13,000 will be used for the purpose of paying for the county jail now almost completed, and $47,000 will be used for Treasurer of the State of Georgia.

At the meeting referred to Attorney Johnson, representing wholesale dealers opposed to the raising of the tax, alleged that Bluthental & Bickert were backing a trust organized to crush the small dealers, and also characterized "Old Joe" whisky, one of the brands handled by this firm, as being purely artificial, made of cologne spirits and colored with caramel. Continuing, Mr. Johnson said: "I want to say a word or two about the quality of stuff this firm sells. Take 'Old Joe,' one of their leading brands. Only a short time ago, State Chemist John M. McCandless was employed by a party in South Carolina to analyze this high class whisky, and here is what he said: 'I regard Old Joe as a purely artificial whisky, manufactured from cologne spirits and colored with caramel.' In this connection I may add that I am informed that Bluthenthal & Bicket use 5,000 barrels of cologne spirits a year, and doctor it up and call it whisky." Mr. Johnson concluded his attack by recalling a raid, which he stated This company is duly chartered under the laws of the State of Georgia, and has complied with all requirements of the State Insurance department, therefore all policy holders are protected with all the safeguards that the strict insurance laws of this State seek to protect its citizens. Its affairs are directed and managed by Negro men of the city of Savannah of leading standing, and whose character and reputation are of such as to command the respect and confidence of all the people of that community. The same men that manage this Society are the ones that organized and are conducting the affairs of the first successful Negro Savings Bank in this state, therefore we can readily see that by connecting themselves with this Insurance company their interest will be in safe hands. By comparing our rules and benefits with other first class companies it will be seen that we offer the most liberal inducements with the largest sick, accident and death benefits to our members than any other company in this business. That we pay our claims promptly can be testified to by the thousands of our satisfied members.

The agricultural appropriation bill was then sent to, conference. There was some disagreement over the selection of the minority members of the conference and the speaker stated that he would announce the conferences later. COLLEGE HONORS MATHESON. Chairman of Georgia Tech Faculty New Sports Degree of LL. Professor K. G.

D. had been conferred upon him at a meeting of the board of trustees of the Washington and Lee college of Lexington, Va., during its commencement exercises. Liberal Terms and Commission. WALTER S. SCOTT, Secretary and Tr eas. New York Doctors in Savannah. THOUSANDS GOING TO SEE THEM AND HUNDREDS REJECTED AS INCURABLE. LOCATED PERMANENTLY 204 LIBERTY STREET, E., NEAR ABERCORN. The New York doctors who are well and favorably known to you all, would like to see at his office, or have a letter from ladies who are afflicted with any disease peculiar to their sex. He would especially like to know of such as have doctor with a family doctor for a long time, or who have been constantly buying advertised remedies in drug stores, without, of course, deriving anything more than a temporary benefit, even if that. To such as these the New York doctors have a message that is cheerful—a treatment that is perfectly curative. The doctor has as many patients among women as among men, and he has for years studied them in public and private hospitals and in his own practice, and from the success he is having in curing their disease he firmly believes that no woman can make a mistake in confiding her case to him. There is no super-critical examination of the person, no interference with customary habits, no publicity. There are private reception rooms for ladies, and when their presence is announced they will be promptly attended to by the doctor. No charge is made for examination, counsel or advice, nor the use of the doctor's vast equipment, which is undoubtedly the most expensive in this country. Enclose stamp for reply.

Twelve months hence the Grand Lodge will convene, if not sooner ordered. Thirty-six years ago the Grand Lodge of Masons was organized. The recent Grand Lodge communication was largely attended, much business transacted and the sentiment ```markdown ``` PROF. T. S. PRICE, Chairman of the Committee on Welfare and Grievance. was harmonious and strictly in keeping with the usages of the Grand Old Order. The Grand Lodge was graced with the presence of Past Grand Master J. M. Simms, J. H. Deveaux and Rev. Alex Harris. The brethren are always glad to give them honor. The financial report was the best ever had. All of the officers were honored with unanimous re-elections. The most spirited discussion was that on the question of endowment Past Grand Master W. D. Johnson, Jr., gave solid Masonic reasons in the negative, backed by low points of the versatile Chas. A. Clark. For the affirmative Bros. L. A. Townsley, M. Dowdell and others made telling points. With good leadership the affirmative would have won. Several of the brethren want us to advocate the endowment cause in these columns, but that will not be right. Such things with electionering and causing are unknown in Masonry. Let the brethren come to the Grand Lodge and in an open way endeavor to convince those of the opposite view to their way of thinking by pure argument. The Grand Lodge and subordinate lodges are in better condition now than ever before. The law-givers of the Grand Lodge are to be found on the committee on jurisprudence. This committee is J. B. PROF. J. C. STYLES, Principal of the Industrial School and Home. composed of the ablest men in the Grand Lodge and their Masonic views are solid. The personnel of the Grand Lodge is excellent. Representative men from every section of the state were present. Those who are members of other Grand Bodies and attended the Grand Lodge last week were amazed on ac- count of the quiet and harmonious manner with which the business of the Grand Lodge was transfaced. It was hard and continuous work for the officers from beginning to end, especially so for the Grand Master and Grand Secretary. The latter was ably assisted by Bro. Raymend A Hill of Eureka Lodge No. 1. Brother Hill attended to his duties like an old veteran and made a favorable impression on the delegates. Grand Master and Grand Secretary deserve fully the token presented by the brethren and they will prove their appreciation by faithful and efficient service. Past Grand Harris never misses a session. He is always on hand to the delight of the brethren. He is spending a few days with Brother A. L. Felton at Montezuma. I. M. J. H. Walker, 33d, ably represented his department at the Grand Lodge, as 'did Grand High Priest Glenn O. Smith. These brethren are meeting with decided success. The brethren in the state will be glad to note that the assessment for the widows and orphans' home has been reduced to fifty cents per annum, payable one-half in September and the other half in December. Every brother should meet these payments readily and gladly. The officers of lodges must understand that these assessments are to be sent to Brother W. H. Spencer, Columbus, and not to the Grand Secretary. Only the Grand Lodge tax, etc., go to the latter. Brother J. W. Armstrong of Pythagoras Lodge was among the visitors at the Grand Lodge. He was well pleased at the manner in which business was transacted. Brother Armstrong is among the able young business men of the state, and is well and favorably known. Dr. E. J. Turner of Columbus and JOHN H. HARRIS MRS. J. C. STYLES, Matron of the School and Home. Dr. J. A. Moore of Macon were present. Those who are Knights can give a significant wink. We are glad, not pharasalcally so, that we are not like the other secret orders, airing all of our business in public print. The orders that indulge in this will undoubtedly lose the confidence of the public. Brother L. E. Williams of Eureka Lodge No. 1 was another visitor at the Grand Lodge. He was thoroughly at home in Americus, and of course had to shake hands with scores of old friends, many of whom knew him from boyhood. Brother G. M. Holmes' of Atlanta is the sweet singer of the Grand Lodge, an dthits feature adds much to the attraction and interest in the sessions. 4 BRO. PETER COLEY, W. M. of East Gate Lodge, No. 206.

One day at the beginning of Lent she called her cook upstairs and sald: "Jane, I am grieved to see how you are carrying on with the butcher's young man." "Oh, he's a very decent, nice, honorable person. George is, ma'am, Jane replied. 'I assure you, ma'am, I couldn't keep better company.' "That may be, Jane,' the woman interrupted, 'but I think you should consult our interests more. Why shouldn't you, now, that it is Lent, get up a little flirtation with the fish dealer?'"

Y.-A notable sermon, entitled "Christian Prosperity," was preached here on a recent Sunday by the eloquent divine, the Rev. William T. Best. He took for his text, "The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree" and said: Look at the wonderful way in which the Holy Spirit works on a man. Just think of a man whose "throat is an open sepulchre" his "mouth full of cursing," his feet swift to shed innocent blood, his heart "deceitful and desperately wicked," "spreading himself like a green bay tree" a tree that is good for nothing, but to keep the sunlight out of the marsh, the very place where it ought to shine, and then think of the Holy Spirit taking hold of that man, bringing him "from darkness to light," from the power of sin and Satan to God, putting a "new song" in his mouth, placing his feet in the "way of peace" taking away the "stony heart" and giving him an "heart of flesh," chugging him from a hard, fruitless, good-for-nothing bay tree into an upright, useful, victorious palm tree. It is wonderful! wonderful! but that is not all. "For God will give him all things." Christ will never leave nor forsake him; the Holy Ghost will lead and guide him into "all truth"; the angels of Heaven will have charge concerning him to keep him in all his ways. "He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper." "He shall flourish in the courts of God," he shall flourish "like the palm tree," "he shall still bring forth fruit in old age, he shall be fat and flourishing." The palm tree is the prince of the vegetable kingdom, so named from its noble aspect; it sometimes rises one hundred feet, unbroken by branches, bearing at its summit a magnificent and graceful crown of large, fanhaped and feathery leaves, in the shadow of which are suspended great clusters of fruit. No tree can look more lordly or beautiful. It is not, however, only beautiful, for, from the bottom of its lowest root to the top of its highest leaf, it is useful; from its leaves, baskets, bags, mats and brushes are made; from its trunk, fences, canes, poultry cages, building material and fuel are obtained, while from its fibrous webs thread is procured, which may be twisted into ropes and rigging. It furnishes food, shelter, clothing, fibre, starch, paper, wood, sugar, oil, wax, tannin, dyeing materials, resin and a host of other things, in all, making three hundred and sixty. In Egypt, Arabia and Persia many of the inhabitants subsist almost entirely on its fruit. For more than one hundred years it maintains its vigor and beauty, and "there is no more charming nor majestic slight than this king among the trees of the plain," "as it looks far away in the distance and gazes into the face of the sun, a symbol of life in the midst of a world of death." The Christian may be compared to the palm tree in the following respects: I. The palm tree is of humble growth, its stem being thick in proportion to its height, and is not more complicated in structure than that of the common butcher-broom. Sometimes it produces a series of adventitious roots, which thrust themselves into the soil and serve to steady it. On account of its weakness Pliny says, they will sometimes plant three or four of them together, forming one strong, lofty and beautiful tree. They were planted in the courts of the temple. The little things of to-day are the great things of to-morrow. The Kingdom of Heaven "is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and cast into his garden; and it grew and waxed a great tree." When a man is born into the Kingdom of God, he is but a babe in Christ, and looks to those around him for help; but how often he is disappointed, and finds that they, who should be his best friends, are often his greatest foes. This teaches him the great lesson of taking his eyes off men and placing them on Christ, and by prayer and faith to reach out and take hold of the solid rock, so that when the winds of temptation and floods of doubt come, he is enabled to stand. The great privilege, however, is open to him of uniting with the Christian Church, and thus with people like himself, planted in the house of the Lord, grow up into a beautiful Christian character. II. "The palm tree grows in the purest soil; it will not grow and flourish in filth places like some trees." Its heart is soft and tender, and is fed by hidden springs, that flow beneath the surface of the ground. Its roots drink deep, and are sustained, while they send up the moisture into the leaves and branches, and they are refreshed and invigorated. "Its presence, travelers assure us, indicates that water is near, and may be obtained from springs, or by digging; accordingly, Israel found twelve springs and seventy palm trees at Elim." The palm tree Christian grows in the purest soil, where the Gospel is preached in its purity. David said, "Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? He that hath clean hands and a pure heart." The Saviour said, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." The blessing of a "pure heart" and the blessing of holiness are one and the same thing; pure means unmixed, holiness means wholeness, both mean perfectness. God said to Abraham, "I am the Almighty God; walk thou before Me, and be thou perfect." David said, "Mark the perfect man and behold the upright, for the end of that man is peace." Jesus said to the young ruler, "If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor." "Be ye therefor perfect, even as your father, which is in Heaven, is perfect." Some men say they do not believe in perfection, but "what a man believes he believes is very different from what he does believe." No man will cut the sleeve out of his coat, or the toe out of his shoe, or in buying a horse search for one that has a spavin, in order to uphold his doctrine of imperfection. He may say, that a Christian cannot be per- fect, and yet if he is not perfect he will talk about him all through the community. Men do believe in perfection. What kind of perfection, then, does the Bible teach? Not Adamic, nor Anglical, nor sinless, but Christian perfection. The palm tree Christian then, is a perfect Christian, an all-round man. Water is a type of the Holy Spirit; it is cleansing, refreshing and powerful. The woman of Samaria went out to get a pitcher of water, but she got a whole well instead. Often we Christians come with our little pitchers to draw water out of the wells of salvation. What we need is the palm tree idea; it is rooted and grounded in the well, and therefore has the well in it, in every fibre of its being. The palm tree Christian lives in the Spirit, walks in the Spirit, and draws his life, light and power from this secret source, or in other words, he is baptized with the Holy Ghost and with fire. This opens up the way to the next heading. III. The wood fibres produced, in the interior of the palm tree are regularly pressed outwards, giving a uniformity of thickness throughout. It is therefore straight and very lofty, always growing upright, and has not failed to attract the attention of writers in every country where it is indigenous. If the palm tree Christian is saved, sanctified and baptized with the Holy Ghost, he must work this salvation out; so that there may be a uniformity of thickness between his profession and possession. He must therefore be straight in all his dealings with the children of men. A great many Christians are in doubt as to whether their lives are straight or not; now the only way a man can tell whether he has a yard of cotton or not is to place the supposed yard of cotton alongside of the yardstick, and if the one is just as long as the other he comes to the conclusion that he has a yard of cotton. The only way a man can tell whether his life is straight or not is to place himself alongside of the Word of God. Take, for instance, the passage found in Matt. 5:44: "Love your enemies." Now someone will say: "I can forgive, but I never can forget." Well, then, you are not straight. Another will say: "I can forgive and forget, but I can—but I can never love them." Well, then, you are not straight. "Love your enemies." Someone says: "It does not mean that." A minister, while preaching, quoted the verse: "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart," etc., and then said: "It does not mean that, for no man can do that; but it means we are to try and do it." How would that brother like to put "try" before all the other commandments? Would he be willing next Sunday to get up before his people and say the Bible says: "Thou shalt not kill," but of course it does not mean that, for no man can live without killing; but it means you are to try and not kill. The Bible means what it says, or else it does not mean anything. IV. The palm trees is an evergreen. "It grows slowly but steadily, uninfluenced by those alterations of the seasons which affect other trees." It does not rejoice overmuch in winter's copious rains, neither does it droop under the drought and burning sun of summer, nor can the importunate urgency of the winds sway It aside from perfect uprightness. V. From antiquity the palm tree has been regarded as the choicest of fruit trees. It has been known to produce 600 pounds of dates in a year. "Its fruit is abundant, pleasant, medicinal and exhilarating;" "those who only know the date from the dried specimen shown beneath a label in shop windows, can hardly imagine how delicious they are when eaten fresh." Pliny says: "When they come from the trees they are so delicious that they are eaten most greedily." It is a staple article of commerce, and a Moslem tradition says: "They are the chief of all the fruits of the world." If the life of the palm tree Christian testifies to the fact that he is saved and sanctified, and that there is nothing more transient about it, he will not only have the fruits of the Spirit, but shall teach transgressors the ways of the Lord, and sinners shall be converted. During the last few days I have read so much about the palm tree that I have a perfect hunger for dates, and it seems as though I cannot wait until I go to town and get some. The palm tree Christian has a hunger for souls. Moses said: "If Thou wilt not forgive their sin, blot me, I pray Thee, out of Thy book." Paul said: "He could wish himself accursed from Christ for his brethren." John Knox said: "Oh God, give me Scotland, or I die." Is there any fruit so delicious to our souls as leading others to Christ? Oh, brother, sister, "Lift up your eyes and look on the fields, for they are white already unto harvest!" Begin to-day and gather this fruit unto life eternal. VI. The palm tree grows under heavy weight and pressure. Naturalists say it grows when it is most pressed down. You cannot keep it down, or make it grow crooked, even if you lay heavy-weights upon it. So it is with the palm tree Christian; the more you try to keep him down, the more he grows. The Jews said, with regard to Christ: "Away with such a fellow from the earth, for it is not fit that he should live!" "Crucify Him!" "Crucify Him!" "We will not have this man Christ Jesus to reign over us." "They drove the nails into His hands, The spear into His side. And they mocked Him till He died." They smote the Shepherd and the sheep were scattered, so that from all appearances Christ and His religion were things of the past; but were they? It was not fifty days until a band of men and women were in an upper room, praying for the coming of the Holy Ghost, and when He came 3000 were converted and added to the church by the power, and the Christians went everywhere preaching the Gospel. Then said the persecutors: "Stone Stephen!" "Tie Thomas to a pillar!" "Crucify Peter!" "Throw John into a cauldron of boiling oil!" "Chop off Paul's head!" "Stop them!" "Stop them, or they will turn the world upside down!" They killed the apostles; but did they kill Christianity? Never! They might just as well try to stop the earth turning on its axis, as to prevent the coming of Christ's kingdom on earth. Christians have had their thumbs in the thumb-screws; their feet in the stocks; their lips cut off; their eyes bored out; they have been eaten by wild beasts; they have been burned at the stake; they were tortured in every conceivable manner. Women have had their children taken from them and themselves outraged. "They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword; they wandered about in sheep and goat skins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented, of whom the world was not worthy," and yet through the burning of Rome, and the Dark Ages, and the massacre of St. Bartholomew, through all the past centuries Christianity has been growing "like a cedar of Lebanon"; it is flourishing like the palm tree. This leads to our next thought. VII. The palm tree is emblem of victory and rejoicing. The Jews employed palm branches on the feasts of tabernacles, and on festive occasions; they carried them before princes and distinguished personages, waving them in token of joy and triumph. The Egyptians waved palm branches in honor of Osirus and bore them before conquerors in their trilumphs. The reason given by Plutarch why the symbol was adopted by the idolators is the nature of the wood, which so powerfully resists recumbent pressure; but more enlightened nations bear palm branches after a victory, to acknowledge the author of their success and prosperity. Said the presiding elder to the discouraged minister, who had run away from his charger: "Have they ever spat upon you?" The minister said: "No, they have not gone that far." "Did they ever crown you with thoums?" And the minister began to weep. Then said the elder: "Who is going to reign at the end of this world?" Oh, friends! Jesus Christ has won and is going to reign until all his enemies are put under His feet. How would one of the political parties feel toward its opponents, if that party knew that the victory was won already and that all the work from now until November would be spent simply in getting its majority? The palm tree Christian has victory over the world, the flesh, and the devil; yea, even death itself. Tertullian said: "We conquer when we fall." We read such statements as the following in connection with the death of the martyrs: "He has received the palm of martyrdom." "He has been crowned with the palm of the martyrs." St. Agatha replied to the tyrant: "If my body upon the rack, my soul cannot enter the Paradise of God with the palm of martyrdom." There are palms upon the tombs of Calus, Tiburtius, Valerius, Mammlianus, Flillumena and others. At Cawnpore, in India, there is a well, enclosed by a wall of white marble about twenty feet high and fifty-seven paces in circumference. On the stone that covers the well is inscribed these words: "Sacred to the perpetual memory of a great company of Christian people, chiefly women and children, cruelly massacred near this spot by the rebel Nana Sahib, and thrown the dying with the dead, into the well beneath, on the 15th day of July, 1857." In the centre of the enclosure is a sculptured angel of resurrection with illumined face, and holding high two palm branches, meaning victory. To-day we remember Paul with admiration, but Nero with disgust. The future pages of history will condemn the Sultan of Turkey, but uphold the Armenian Christians. The land, which the blessed Christ has trod, shall yet become as the Garden of Eden. Jesus Christ is coming back to the earth. Oh, blessed thought! VIII. The palm tree is a type of Heaven. The weary traveler in desert lands looks forward to the palm tree with great joy, for it promises him food and shelter overhead, and wells of water underneath. The first thing of interest in the promised land was the city of Palm Trees. It was employed in the real temple of Solomon, and in the visionary temple of Ezekiel. Both Simon and Judas Maccabes entered Jerusalem after their victories, bearing palm branches. Solomon covered all the walls of the Holy of Holles round about with palm trees to indicate its heavenly connection, and being honored by the ministration of angels. The Christian pilgrim looks forward with joy to the time when he shall "sit down with Abraham. Isaac and Jacob, in the Kingdom of God," to eat of the Tree of Life and drink of the Water of Life. The Christian has a home in a city, where they need not the light of the sun, where the walls are jasper, and the streets gold, and each one of the twelve gates a pearl. A city, where there is no cemetery, for there is no sickness, pain, nor death. A city, where they need no policeman, for all is peace and perfect love. He shall have a new name, a white robe, a crown upon his brow, and better than all else, he shall have a palm in his hand. Oh, who would not be a Christian? Someone says, "Why?" Why? "The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree." , Showing Our Trust. There is no better way to show our trust than to busy ourselves with the things He asks us to do.-Maltble D. Babcock. --- But Grassella Brought Matter to a Focus With True Feminine Strategy. "Mortimer Jarvis, I hate you!" It struck him squarely between "the eyes, and he reeled as if from an actual blow. The young woman who spoke these words sat in a Gibson girl attitude, with her elbows on the table, and glared at the masculine person who faced her from the opposite side of the table. "You—you hate me?" he said, recovering his equilibrium with an effort. "And hatred is akin to—to—well, never mind what it's akin to," he added, as no available relationship seemed to suggest itself. "Is this a new emotion, Grazella, or is it one you had left in stock when you invoiced last?" "My name is Miss Twigg." "Yes; Grazella Q. Twigg. Of course I do." "Do what, sir?" "Twigg. Do you continue to hate me, Miss Twigg?" The stony glare with which she still regarded him appeared to indicate that she did. "Do you hate me, Miss Grazella—Twigg—as much as you did a minute ago?" The curling irony of her lip, so to speak, was sufficient answer to this question, likewise. "I will ask you now, Miss Twigg," he said, after the manner of a young Gibson lawyer conducting his first important case, "why you detest, abominate and regard with abhorrence the individual who now presumes—" "That is the reason, sir," she interrupted. "You are presumptuous." "Pardon me, Miss Twigg. Remember you are not on cath. Do I understand you to say I am presumptuous?" "I think that is the word I used, alr." "I will ask you now Miss Twigg, if you are aware that 'presumptuous' is derived from the Latin word 'presumere,' meaning 'to take beforehand?' "I prume it is." "Ha! Then you yourself presume!" Hastily making a note of it on the margin of a newspaper that lay on the table, he proceeded: "Walking that point for the moment, however, may ask you in what respect I have been presumptuous, in the sense of taking before—" "You take too much for granted." "For instance?" "For instance, Mortimer Jarvis, you take it for granted that I don't know why you have been devoting yourself to me for the last three years." "Oh, do I?" "Yes, sir; you do. You presume to think I am -long to be surprised and do the 'this is so sudden' act when you—" "When I what?" "Oh, you think you've been so sly about it that I never suspected—" "Suspected what?" "As if try girl didn't—didn't know—" "Know what?" Then, all at once, her self-possession deserted her, and a horrible suspicion took its place. Had she been unduly presumptuous herself? Her lips moved, but no sound came from them. The young man presently assumed control of the situation. "Grazella," he said, in a voice which, by every rule of accepted dramatic art, should have had an accompaniment of slow, tremulous music, "I plead not guilty to the main charge, but I am going to take something, for granted now." By executing a rapid flank movement he took possession of her hand. In her agitation she had neglected to place it out of the reach of possible danger. She tried to withdraw it, but it was too late. Apparently it was there to stay. "And you thought me presumptuous!" he continued, with a desperate attempt to pull out the flute stop in his vocal organ. "Why, bless your dear little heart, I am the shyest, timidest, most self-deprecatory mortal on earth! Been devoting myself to you for three years, have I? Grazella—" Here he thrust the table aside with a masterly flank movement of his free hand, as being easier than stepping around it. "If I hadn't been the biggest coward alive I would have spoken two years, eleven months and twenty-nine days ago. That's the way they do nowadays in all the—" "Oh, Mortimer, what must you think?" she walled, still struggling, but with less desperation, to withdraw her hand. "I think you did perfectly right, dear, to bring me to—I mean you did right to give me a chance—hold your head still, will you! . . . 'Presumptuous' . . . Well, I . . like that . . . and that!" "That's just what you are!" she pouted, half an hour later. But he took a similar advantage of the pout—Chicago Tribune. Bachelors' Ridge. There is a place in Webster Township known as "Bachelors Bidda," Seven unmarried men keep "bach" in as many different houses within a radius of two miles, and within this distance there is not a woman living. One of the bachelors, Isaac Brown, has a small tract of land, but has no live stock, not even a chicken, and does scarcely any work. He refuses help from neighbors, who sometimes offer to give him something to eat saying he has no use for their provisions. Last winter he dig a hole under his house four feet square, and placed his bed in this hole and slept in it, pulling the lid down on it. He says he kept very warm in his bunk, all the time.-Corydon correspondence. Indianapolis News Rats a WR. Bacsuuah Nathan: The Savannah Tribune .

Much interest is being manifestedin the meeting and it will no doubt prove as ex: citing as the last one. Gne gree mistake that is being made by many zealous members of the Order, is the publicity given to much of its affairs. This should be frowned upon.

Now I feel that it, is not fair to myself nor them for mealways tore main indifferent to their wishes, conse- quently I have decided to ciiter the race and remain "till the last millstone is turn ed In doing this I shail need, and do rolicit the support and hearty co-opera- tion of all my friends throughout the state, and should we be successful, to guard and fulfill the duties and and obli- gations of the office shall always be my care.

Council, Presi dent of the A. and M, College, located a this place for the trainiaing of colore: boys and girls mistreated the Rev. Dr R, C. Ransom, of Boston because Dr Ransom had been ejected from a Pullmar car and mistreated by some southers white man. If this was true Presiden | Conncill deserves the censure of the civil ized world desire to give the true verson of the whole affair, because I was present aad was the first tocall on Mr, Ransom aftes his arrival here, hence I am in a posi- tion to give the facts in the case. “Dr, Ransom, came to Normal, on iavita- tion from the President and faculty to de- liveran address to the graduates, He went to Huntsville, and telephoned the College, and a carriage was ordered to bring him out, which it did, When I heard that he had reached Normal, I went to call on him, and found bim in bed with his shoes, coat and haton. He got up staggering, and told me that hbad some trouble on his way bere and was up set, there fore wanted milk, I went for the milk for him, and told him to undress and go to bed, but he went back to bed as before enly removing his bat and ulster, Later the officers of the Alumai called on him, and finding him intoxicated, they re- commended that he be excused from deliv. ering the address. He was excused and the amount ef mouey which had been agreed upon was paid tohim, He was in- formed that he could havea carriage when- ever he desired it to carry him to the city. He got himself together and lef(for Huntsville, taking the first train from therefor home, +4 President Council did not know any- thing about the trouble he bad had enroute to Normal, until after he had beea ex- cused from delivering the address hence did not act on that but excused Dr, Ransom becduse he had returned to his old habit— he was drank, ‘There was nothing else for Mr. Coun] -1I todo, and if Dr, Ransom bad been al- lowed to speak in bis condition, President Councill would have been censured, so you may sez the position in which he was placed and allow truth to get a hearing brough yoar column. .

W, Roperts, Prop. | NGaate ~™ ON THE CATTLE LINER Gentleman Tramp's Cruise From Montreal to Glasgow. DOWN on my luck one day last autumn, I had diligently footed Montreal for several hours in search of something to do. At last I happened to strike an employment bureau, having a blackboard outside, on which was written: "Free passage to England and back as cattlemen-apply within." proceeded to get up enough hay and meal to do duty until the following morning, and then to breakfast. Breakfast over, at 9 a. m., we gave each beast a painful of meal, and then cleaned out the alleyways, and were then (11 a. m.) free until 3, when we went through the same performance again finishing off by 6 o'clock, each I walked in. A big man in a fur coat, sitting in front of a store and smoking a cigar, looked up. "Well, what's your business? You ain't no lumber man." I admitted I was not, and told him I wished for a free passage to England as cattleman. "Well, guess you can," says he, making out a form and handing it to me with the remark that he wanted $5 booking fee, I expostulated and asked him what his sign mean: "Free passage." He smiled and said: "Guess you'd better take it now, as it might cost you $10 to morrow." I reflected a few minutes, and then handed him the required sum. He immediately became ample, and asked I had any preference as to where I chipped to. I said I had not, but wanted to get home as quickly as possible. I knew there were very few more boats out of port before winter was upon us, and my cash in hand was now reduced to less than $10. After looking through his books I decided to put my name down for Glasgow, to sail the following Thursday, and turned to leave the office. "Say," he bellowed out after me, "guess you git five shillings from the company at the other end." The eventful Thursday came, and I arrived at the office at 4 with my "grip," ready for work, to find some twenty or thirty other men all waiting to ship by the same boat. I began to get fidgety, as I knew there were only six men wanted from that office by the cattle shipper and I wondered if my $5 "was gone bust." Fate, however, was kind, and by 8 o'clock that night I had signed on as part of the ship's company to the port of Glasgow. I found, on getting on board, that there were two foremen and nine hands to look after $50 head of cattle. The first thing we did on getting on board was to find our quarters. These were right in the foe'sle head, next door to the firemen, and a steward was there waiting for us. He ventured a remark that he would for $2 lock our baggage up in the foremen's cabin for the present, as the firemen were not to be trusted with anything lying about. This being done, we set to work to bed down for the cattle, which were to come on during the night. This finished, we prepared to retire, but on arriving at our quarters found only bare boards to sleep on, which discovery sent us howling to the steerage steward with a view to getting blankets. We were ets, etc. We were, however, informed that we could not have any until next day, but each man received a plate, knife and fork, and cup, and also a large tin pan to fetch our meat in, and a can to be used for fetching both tea and soup. We went back to our quarters, and with my "grip" for a pillow I wrapped myself up in my great-coat and slept my first sleep as a cattleman. Next morning we were aroused by one of the foremen at 7 o'clock, and then we arranged who should be kitchen-maid for that day. The duties of kitchen-maid were not arduous, as I found when my turn came on the Sunday, the work consisting of going to the galley to fetch the grub and washing up the things after. Breakfast that first morning consisted of coffee and stew, with bread, and I shall not forget it in a hurry. After breakfast was over we went on deck and watched the boat cast off for England, and then our duties as cattlemen commenced. We first of all got up sufficient hay from the hold to last until next morning; after that we watered and fed the cattle. In the evening we again watered and fed, and then cleaned up the alleyways, and had finished for the night. Supper, pipes and cards saw the time through till 9 p. m., and one of our fellows proved no small performer on the violin. On all subsequent mornings we were up at 4 o'clock sharp to water the animals and give them their hay, after which we Witness Can't Think. Sir Henry Irving once said: "What is the good of lawyers treating an honest and sensitive witness on the witness-stand as though he were a sneak thief? A young man in my company was a witness in a case of robbery. He had seen a thief snatch a young girl's pocket-book and make off. Well, the thief's lawyer cross-examined my young friend shamefully. He roared at him, shook his flat at him, raved at him. 'And at what hour did all this happen?' the lawyer, sneering, asked toward the end of his examination. 'I think—' my friend began, but he was at once interrupted. 'We don't care anything here about what you think?' said the lawyer, with a sort of contempt. 'Don't you want to hear what I think?' said my friend, mildly. 'Certainly not,' the lawyer roared. 'Then,' said my friend, 'I may as well step down from the box. I'm not a lawyer. I can't talk without thinking.' The Birch in the British News The Government have decided to suspend the use of the birch in the navy, directing that a report be made to them on the effect of the suspension at the end of a year. This is a matter for naval men rather than for politicians. Opinion among experts is cer- proceeded to get up enough hay and meal to do duty until the following morning, and then to breakfast. Breakfast over, at 9 a. m., we gave each beast a painful of meal, and then cleaned out the alleyways, and were then (11 a. m.) free until 3, when we went through the same performance again, finishing off by 6 o'clock each evening. Sunday was a great day with us on account of a change of diet, each man receiving for dinner a raisin and currant pudding, and for tea a one-quarter pound tin of plum jam. Each day saw us through exactly the same routine of work, and occasionally in the evenings we were invited down by the steerage passengers to their concerts. The 350 cattle were decked in four rows extending fore and aft, two-rows to port and two rows to starboard, with alleyways separating the port rows and the starboard rows. A foreman and five cattlemen worked the aft lot, and a foreman and four men the forward division. It was very good fortune to work forward, and we used to pity the other gang, for they had no soft job in the early morning, with a rough sea, groping their way past the engine room up to the deck. The hay and meal were stored in the fore and aft holds, and were got up daily by pullers. The water was stored in large barrels, filled daily from the engine room. The worst part of our work was the sweeping and cleaning of the alleyways, and those who escaped seasickness, among them myself, were often a bit below par from the smell of the cattle. But custom is a good mate, and in my own case I am willing to travel as cattleman again, if necessary. Our foremen were very decent fellows, one being an American and the other an Irishman. They were treated as second-class passengers, having a joint cabin and a steward. After the first three days, by means of a little "greasing," I succeeded in feeding with them, not to avoid my fellow cattlemen, for they were all good fellows, but to escape their grub, which was not "O. K." Among my mates were a violinist from a Newport (U. S. A.) band, a "vet" from Toronto, a farmer from Manitoba, a bushman (Scotch), and four other Scotchmen, all stone-masons, going home with three or four hundred dollars aplace. To complete the picture I must add that the ship carried four saloon passengers, fourteen second-class and twenty-three steerage, all Scotch, and one was an enthusiastic bagpiper, who piped at night with an utter disregard for the weary cattlemen. He and the violinist were, however, great request for the steerage dances. And so time passed away until, on the following Sunday, we sighted Torrey Island, off the north of Ireland, I might say that for some hours before we sighted land the cattle were very restless, and my foreman told me that they knew they were nearing land. On Monday at noon we anchored at Birkenhead, where, in the space of an hour and a half, we had got all the cattle off, and also about 150 bales of hay that remained over, and were once more on our way to Glasgow, where we were to be paid off. Never shall I forget that morning when we steamed up the Clyde to Greenock, Ben Lomond in the distance, its peak covered with snow and the sunshine on it, and around us a lot of boats wafting for the tide to take them on. Then we gradually drew away into civilization, with all its smoke and dirt. We were paid off that afternoon, each man receiving 6s, and his discharge, a deduction out of this being made for any tobacco supplies during the voyage, which, in my case, left me only 2s, in hand. Each cattailman, in addition, is entitled to a free passage back by the next boat, but, on application at the steamship office, you can, on payment of 22, prolong your visit to this country for three months, which enables you to return to Canada in the spring, when the snow and frost have broken up and life is making a fresh start in the new country and all good labor is in demand—Pall Mall Gazette. tally divided on the question. There are able men who are strongly in favor of the abolition of corporal punishment, but the prevailing opinion among naval officers is the other way. Is the birch the best deterrent? That is the question. We have no sympathy with the sentimental view of the matter. Abhorrence of methods of force is a traditional Liberal doctrine, and one for which we have always had unmixed contempt. Refinement may become a morbid process, and no nation infected by it can have any chance in competition with ruder peoples—London Saturday Review. Birls and Bridges All river birds have a great dislike to the bridges which span the stream at intervals, and give them as wide a berth as possible. An oryst-catcher may be flying swiftly up river just above the surface of the water. One would think that it would save a great deal of time and energy were it to continue its course under the bridge; but no, there is evidently something uncanny about the latter to the bird's mind, so it invariably rises from the surface of the stream, and files well above the bridge. Small birds, however, as the dipper and the swallow, seem to ignore the obstruction.—Country Life. Americans Are Paint Users. It has been remarked that the American people consume more paint, both in the aggregate and per capita, than any other people in the world. In a recently published article on the subject it was figured that our yearly consumption is over 100,000,000 gallons of paints of all kinds, of which over one-half is used in the paintings of houses. The reason for this great consumption is twofold: a large proportion of our buildings, especially in small towns and rural districts, are constructed of wood, and we, as a people, are given to neatness and cleanliness. For, take it all in all, there is nothing so cleanly or so sanitary as paint. Travel where we will throughout the country, everywhere we find the neat, cheerful painted dwellings, proclaiming at once the prosperity and the self-respect of our population. Fifty years ago this was not so; painted dwellings, while common in the larger cities and towns, were the exception in the rural districts; because, on the one hand, a large proportion of those buildings were temporary makeshifts, and, on the other hand, because paint was then a luxury, expensive and difficult to obtain in the out-of-the-way places, and requiring special knowledge and much preparation to fit it for use. The introduction of ready mixed or prepared paints, about 1860, changed the entire aspect of affairs. As the Jack-of-ell-trades told the Walking Delegate in one of Octavic Thanet's stories "Any one can slather paint." The insurmountable difficulty with our predecessors was to get the paint ready for "slathering." That the country was ready for paint in a convenient, popular form is shown by the immediate success of the industry and its phenomenal growth in fifty years from nothing to 60,000,000 gallons—the estimated output for 1900. Some pretty severe things have been written about and said against this class of paints, especially by painters and manufacturers of certain kinds of paste paints. Doublecils in many instances these strictures have been justified and some fearfully and wonderfully constructed mixtures have in the past been worked off on the guilleless consumer in the shape of prepared paint. But such products have had their short day and quickly disappeared, and the 'oo enterprise manufacturers that produced them have come to grief in the bankruptcy courts or have 'earne' by costly experience that honesty is the best policy and Have reformed their ways. The chief exceptions to this rule are some mall order houses who sell direct to the country trade, at a very low price—frequently below the wholesale price of lined oil. The buyer of such goods, like the buyer of a "gold brick" has only himself to blame if he finishes his purchase worthless. With gold selling at any bank or mint at a fixed price, owners and with lined oil quoted everywhere at fifty to seventy cents a gallon, manufacturers do not sell a pure lined oil paint at thirty or forty cents a gallon. The composition of prepared paints differs because paint experts have not yet agreed as to the best pigments and because the daily results of tests on a large scale are constantly improving the formulas of manufacturers; but all have come to the conclusion that the essentials of good paint are pure lined oil, fine grinding and thorough incorporation, and in these particulars all the products of reputable manufacturers correspond; all first class prepared paints are also available, and the low base base is almost exclusively pure lined oil, the necessary volatile "thinners" and Japanese drivers. The painter's opposition to such products is based largely on self-interest. He wants, to mix the paint himself and to be paid for doing it; and to a certain class of painters it is no recommendation for a paint to say that it will last five or ten years. The longer a paint lasts the longer he will have to wait for the job of repainting. The latter consideration has no weight with the consumer, and the former is a false idea of economy. Hand labor can never be as cheap or as efficient as machine work, and every time the painter mixes paint, did he but know it, he is losing money, because he can buy a better paint than he can mix at less than it costs him to mix it. Prepared paints have won, not only on their actual merits, but on their convenience and economy. They are comparatively cheap, and they are incomparably handy. But when all is said, the experienced painter is the proper person to apply even a ready mixed paint. He knows better than any one else the "when" and "how" and the difference between painting and "slathering" is much greater than it appears to a novice. Every one to his trade, and after all painting is the painter's trade and not the householder. Pie Crust Two tablesponfuls sifted flour, one tablespoon cold lard, two tablespoons cold water and a pinch of salt. Chop the lard in the flour until it is fine, then mix with the water, using all the flour. Turn out upon a well-foured board, divide equally and roll out one-half. Cover the pie pan, putting the crust to get out the air. Fill with whatever fruit you have, roll out the upper crust, fold in half and cut three short slices near the center of the fold, place over the pie and pat down the edges. Trim off the rough edges and mark around the edge with the tines of a fork. Bake until a nice brown. Gather up the scraps and roll them out again, and cut out with a can cover about the size of a silver dollar. Prick each piece with a fork and bake a delicate brown. Place a bit of jelly in the center of each piece and you have a plate of dainty tarts. UP AGAINST IT. Her—"I'm sorry, dear, but the roses you sent me don't at all match my party gown."

SIGNALS NATURE HANGS Always Gives Warning of Catastrophe That is Coming... AN experienced farmer, on the lookout for a farm shies at the sight of a fallow covered with the reddish spikes of the sorrel. He knows at once that the soil is poor and thin, and will cost more than its crops will ever be worth in fertilizers of various kinds. Weeds tell him a whole story at a single glance. If the leaves of the coltsfoot rear their heavy heads, he at once suspects the presence of thick, sticky blue clay, hard to drain and cultivate. * Sandwort and thyme proclaim a hungry, sandy soil; myrtle, the heaths and tormentilla tell of peaty land valuable only for summer grazing; sheep's sorrel speaks of iron, the valerian and anunculous of marsh, while veronica, silene, the hybrid poppy and other similar plants are sure signals of chalk and flint below the surface. For those who have eyes to see them, kindly nature hangs out signals of all kinds. She only asks that men will use their eyes, says Pearson's Weekly. If they can, and do so, she will never betray them. She has both good and bad signs, which are as plain in their way as red or green lights to a railway engine driver. For instance, what is called the low country of the Northern Transvaal is partly healthy, partly feverish. In one spot you may camp in safety for a month, in another not a mile away the dreaded fever will seize you in a single night. To uneducated eyes there seems little or no difference in the outward aspect of the two places, but your old prospector is never caught camping on fever ground. He knows the fever tree too well. The fever tree is an odd and sinister looking piece of vegetation, with twisted, greenish * trunk and branches, and grows only in those spots where fever mist hangs at nightfall. So, too, in Florida, when a hunter is traversing the immense swamps—"hammocks," as they are called—which ever huge tracts in the southern part of that State, he searches for a spot where pine trees rear their tall heads among the cypresses and gums. There he can camp and sleep in safety, though to spend a night but a few hundred yards away from the pines might mean a bone racking dose of argue. Many an Australian explorer has been saved from a horrible death by thirst because he has known the water mallee. This tree, though it may stand in the midst of a burning desert, invariably tells of water below the surface. If the traveler be not too far gone to dig, he will find the precious fluid below the mallee's roots. The old shepherd crossing Dartmoor or one of the Scottish moors travels with dry feet, while the stranger is perfectly certain to tumble knee, perhaps waist, deep into horrible black compound of mud and water. The shepherd avoids the bogs, because he has learned to read nature's danger signal. He does not walk on places where the sphagnum covers the surface, and so avoids the pitfalls hidden beneath its pale green fronds. Most of us know something of weather signs, those warnings which are hung out for all to read in the sky, and yet how many never notice them at all, so that when there comes a really great convulsion of nature they are caught unprepared. That awful cyclone which overwhelmed the great seaport of Galveston three years ago, was heredal by an immense groundswell, which was seen forty-eight hours before the tempest broke. The Mississippi storm of 1754, which is generally supposed to have been the worst gale that has ever been recorded, and the result of which was to wipe out nearly twenty settlements, flood 10,000 square miles of land and permanently change the course of the great river, was preceded by a strange and at the time inexplicable moaning sound, which went on for three days and seemed to come from the upper air, although all below were still. The Indians heard it and left for the high ground; the whites heard it, stayed where they were and were drowned. In the winter British Columbia and all the western slopes of the Rockies are at times visited by a strong, easterly wind, which, blowing off the warm surface of the Japan current, will rapidly melt the mountain snows, causing undeen disastrous floods. But no inhabitant of the slopes is ever caught unawares, because for many hours before the warm gale there appear over the heads of the mountains long lines and bands of the so-called "Chinook" clouds. These are a certain sign of the hot wind, and are never known to fall. Desert dwellers are never surprised by a "khamsin," or dust storm, unless it comes too quickly to be avoided. Before such a visitation the horizon changes color, and according to the color, which varies from dull yellow to deep red, so will be the strength and fury of the storm. As strange a danger signal as may be found on the surface of this planet is the so-called "Quesbrada Encantada," the enchanted ravine of the Uloa Valley, in Honduras, of which an account, written by Mr. George Byron Gordon, who visited the place, is to be found in the memoirs of the Peabody Museum. When rain - is approaching there comes from this raining a melodious, whistling sound, which varies in intensity according as to whether the coming storm will be heavy or light. Before one of the terrific tropical thun- derstorms which at times devastate that part of the world the sound is of a deep organ note, which is heard many miles away in every direction. Even earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, most terrible of all nature's visitations, do not come without due warning. Sir Norman Lockyer has stated that the most disastrous volcanic eruptions and earthquakes occur, like the rain pulses of India, at the dates of the sun spot maxima and minima. At the minimum in 1867 Muna Loa, Versuvis, South America and Formosa were involved. At the maximum in 1872 Martinique and St. Vincent; in 1883 came the frightful explosion of Krakatoa, and, to give a recent instance, the Martinique eruption came at a maximum of solar disturbance. Also before an earthquake there are other and pliner warning signs. Just before the catastrophe at St. Pierre came news that the Martialque cable was broken. This sort of thing has happened more than once before similar visitations. On the Western coasts of South America where earth tremors are constant, severe shocks are usually heralded by disturbances of the sea. Such heavy quakes also invariably happen at high tide. In Hawaii, another volcanic centre, certain springs stop flowing before an outburst. In the crater of Mauna Loa the lava always rises steadily for some weeks before an eruption. Indeed, it may be truly said to those who have eyes to see nature invariably gives due warning before a coming catastrophe of any kind whatsoever. HOW SHE ALWAYS KNEW. Lonely Old Mald Explains How She Keeps Up With Town Gossip. All alone on the hilltop lived Hannah Jane Spriggins, and a lonely life she led, this ancient maid. Much to the wonder of the good people of the village of Meddybemps, she was never at a loss for news, and when neighbors called with stray bits of information, Hannah Jane always knew it long before it had been spread broadcast through the town. "Say, did you know Sam Whitten's Anne had a shock?" volunteered an excited female, dropping in on Hannah Jane early one evening, just as that peaceful soul was sipping her nightly brew of tea. "Taken at 2 o'clock this afternoon," calmly replied that lady, serenely, "had to send for that know-nothing critter of a Dr. Smith, 'cause Dr. Brown wasn't home. Got Sam Kitchum's Talibta for a nurse." "For the land's sake, Hannah, how'd ye know it?" gasped the astounded caller. "You ain't had time to go down to the village and back since it happened." Hannah Jane shook her head in mysterious fashion. "You do beat all getting the news first," continued the neighbor, with an injured air. "How in time's sake do ye manage?" Hannah Jane meditated a moment, then beckoned to her guest, who was one of her oldest friends, and led her in solemn silence up the winding stairs that led to a turret chamber at the top of the house. This room had been made for her father, an old sea captain of the town, so that he could watch the vessels as they sailed into the harbor. From an ancient bureau in the corner of the room Hannah Jane drew forth something wrapped carefully in tissue paper. "Opyre glasses," she explained briefly, as she took out her treasure from the numprous wrappings. "Niece Ellen sent 'em to me for years ago; and a great comfort they have been, too," she added feelingly. "There's not many place in town but what I can make out with these opery glasses, and there's not much going on that I don't know," finished this original being triumphantly, who in this novel fashion kept herself well in touch with the rest of the world.—Lewiston Journal. The Earthquake Fragicator The man was explaining his business to Major Beardsley. "I represent the American Rubber Tube and Tiling Company," he said. "Our products are the greatest invention of the age. Any city whose water malns are made of iron or any other metal is at the mercy of earthquakes. Our proposition is to equip the water department complete with rubber water malns. Earthquakes cannot injure them. Freezing cannot burst them. They are pliable and give room for expansion." "But in case of an earthquake," said the Major, "the great buildings would fall on the rubber water malns and choke off the supply of water." "Our company," said the agent, "is now perfecting plans for rubber construction in all skyscrapers, so that if an earthquake topples them over they will bounce back immediately into place."-Kansas City Times. State Flags. Most of our States have flags, some of them very peculiar ones. These are carried as the State colors of the militia regiments. Our own is too familiar to need description. "The white standard of Massachusetts" has been seen in the forefront of many battles. New York displays a buff flag, and the State banner of Maryland bears on a ground of blazing yellow the arms and motto of the Calvert's. The heraldic design is so disposed as to give Maryland's flag, seen at a distance, somewhat the semblance of a gorgeous crazy quilt, although we suppose to the Marylanders it is more suggestive of the picturesqueness of a royal standard—Boston Transcript. It is stated by the Irish Independent that coffins for children are being supplied by a contractor to south of Ireland almshouses at four cents each.

I was unable to attend to my house work, and life became a burden to me. I was confined for days to my bed, and I could not bear to think of an operation, and in my distress I tried every remedy which I thought would be of any use to me, and reading of the value of Lydia E. Pinkham's vegetable Compound to sick women decided to take it. I had little hope of recovery, and when I began to feel better, after the second week, thought it only meant temporary relief; but to my great surprise I found that I kept gaining, while the tumor lessened in size. I built up my general health and the tumor seemed to be absorbed, until, in seven months, the tumor was entirely gone and I well woman. I am so thankful for my recovery that I ask you to publish my letter in newspapers, so other people may be able to wonder the powers of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound." When women are troubled with irregular or painful periods, weakness 5 displacement or ulceration of the female organs, that bearing-down feeling, inflammation, backache, fatulence, general debility, indigestion or nervous prostration, they should remember there is one tried and true remedy. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once removes such troubles. No other medicine in the world has received such widespread and unqualified endorsement. No other medicine has such a record of cures of female ills. Mrs. Pinkham Invites all sick women to write her for advice. She is daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham and for twenty-five years under her direction and since her decease has been advising sick women free of charge. She has guided thousands to health. Address, Lynn, Mass. Remember that it is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound that is curing women, and don't allow any druggist to sell you anything else in its place. City of Refuge for Debtors. The Isle of Man, headquarters of Scandinavian pirates in ancient days, was, in modern times, the happy City of Refuge for the debtors of England and the bold, bad smuggler. The debt or, especially, gave the island an evil name. A sorrowful historian declares that for nearly a century the Isle was a "sanctuary for the fortunate and profligate of the surrounding nations, who flocked thither in such numbers as to make it a common receptacle for the basest of their kind." Happler days have come to the island, for it is now only the fortunate "who flock thither in such numbers."—London Chronicle. Water at Meals. Water taken with meals should be sipped as well as taken sparingly. Ice water should be taken as seldom as possible; never should be a better rule. And the habit of putting chipped ice In the drinking water is to be avoided, as one never knows what may be taken into the stomach through this medium. The better way is to fill bottles with water and allow them to stand beside ice to chill. How He Saw It.

It's easy to understand how ordinary people get fooled by coffee when doctors themselves sometimes forget the facts. A physician speaks of his own experience: "I had used coffee for years and really did not exactly believe it was infuring me, although I had palpitation of the heart every day. "Finally one day a severe and almost fatal attack of heart trouble frightened me and I gave up both tea and coffee, using Postum instead, and since that time I have had absolutely no heart palpitation except on one or two occasions when I tried a small quantity of coffee which caused severe irritation and proved to me I must let it alone. "When we began using Postum it seemed weak—that was because we did not make it according to directions—but now we put a little bit of butter in the pot when boiling and allow the Postum to boil full 15 minutes, which gives it the proper rich flavor and the deep brown color. "I have advised a great many of my friends and patients to leave off coffee and drink Postum, in fact, I daily give this advice." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Many thousands of physicians use Postum in place of tea and coffee in their own homes and prescribe it to patients. "There's a reason."

NATIONAL CLIFF RUIN PARK IN COLORADO. AN area of several hundred square miles in Southwestern Colorado has been made into a new National park for the purpose of preserving from spoilation numerous cliff ruins found in that region. This has been accomplished through the efforts of the Colorado Cliff Dwellings Association, an organization of fifty women of that State formed for the purpose. The park comprises the Mesa Verde country, in the southwestern corner of the State, and was leased from the Ute Indians by the association under the authority of an act of Congress passed last March. ```markdown ``` The Mesa Verde is an irregular table land of some 700 square miles in extent, cut by the Mancos River and its tributaries into innumerable canons and gorges. The main canon is thirty miles long and from 1000 to 2000 feet in depth. The walls are composed of soft sandstones and shales, which break off in huge masses under the action of storms and frost, forming a series of small cliffs, alternating with long slopes of debris, the whole being crowned by lofty embattled cliffs of massive sandstone. At the tops of the slopes of debris and under the vertical cliffs are found the remains of houses once inhabited by the cliff dwellers, who lived for many centuries in the Mesa Verde country, and the cause of whose disappearance from that region has not yet been adequately explained. As a result of investigations conducted by the Smithsonian Institution and other learned institutions it has been determined that the cliff dwellers were of the same stock as the Pueblo The dusty yokel, worn and tasked, Tramped to me from the road, Gripped hands with me, and all unasked The grateful waters flowed. The cup held by its clanking chain He lifted off and drained. Its crystal waters once again, And some new vigor gained. And, ahl those patient beasts that brought Their noses to my tank, When the red sun beat fiercely hot And drank, and drank, and drank With mighty draughts and deep until My labors were nigh vain To give them drink enough and fill My water tub again. Nor all my score of years till now Have I once failed to cool The thirsty lip and fevered brow From that still rippling pool Wherein my feet have stood. My cup In ready hands and strong Has dipped its crystal waters up So long, so long, so long! But now my joints are worn and old, My spout is parched and dry; My cup's a leak and will not hold My drink, howeer I try. So root me up like some old tree Bereft of leaf and shade, And in some corner let me be Irreverently laid. J.W. Foley, in Good Literature. Indians, who now live in villages located on the mesas and in the valleys in parts of New Mexico and Arizona. The evidence so far obtained suggests that some of the clans of the Mokl tribe in Northern Arizona migrated. to their present habitat from a place in the north, and that place is believed to be the Mesa Verde country. In other words, the Mokl Indians may be regarded, in general terms, as the descendants of the people who built the houses in the cliffs of the Mancos. The ruins found in the Mancos canon and adjacent gorges represent the highest attainments of the ancient cliff dwellers in the art of house building. Although many thousands of ruins have been found in the southwest none compares with those of the Mesa Verde in character of masonry or in general finish. In this respect the ruins along the Mancos and its tributaries are far superior to the villages now inhabited by the Pueblo Indians in New Mexico and Arizona. Although discovered in 1874 and 1875 by explorers connected with the Geological-Survey, under Professor F. V. Hayden, and reported upon at that time, the ruins are in such an inaccessible region that few white men visited them until quite recently. Within the past few years, however, several large collections of relics of various kinds have been taken from the old buildings, which were partly demolished in the process, and it was to put a stop to such vandalism that the Mesa Verde country was placed in charge of the Colorado Cliff Dwellings Association. Seattle a Fur Centre. The Seattle' Fur Sales Agency has been organized, and articles of incorporation will be filed within a few days. As the name implies, the company is organized to handle furs of all kinds, and regular fur auctions, such as are held in London, are to be held here four times each year. "The purpose," said J. S. Goldsmith, one of the trustees, "is to make Seattle the greatest fur centre in the country. We expect to get furs from all parts of the country, particularly the Northwest and Alaska. This agency will have the effect of bringing here fur trappers and salesmen from all sections of the United States, Canada and Alaska, and fur buyers from all parts of the world. We will deal both with the storekeepers in the remote regions where the animals are trapped, and with the trappers themselves. The company will commence business as soon as the details can be arranged. The office has not yet been secured, nor the site of the warehouse decided upon, but these matters will be attended to at once."-Seattle Post-Intelligencer. EMBROGLIO OVER TORREY Attack of Atlanta Baptist Ministers on Travelling Revivalists Causes Their Backers to Squirm. Following the spirited discussion of the recent Torrey meetings in Atlanta at the Baptist Ministers' Association Monday morning, a secret session of the executive committee of the Business Men's Gospel Union was held Tuesday afternoon in the office of the president of the union, ex-Governor W. J. Northen. Representatives of the press were excluded from the meeting and after the meeting was over the only information obtainable concerning what took place during the meeting, which lasted for about an hour or an hour and a half, was given out to a representative of the Constitution by Governor 'Northern. When asked what was done at the meeting, he said: "I was authorized by the meeting to send the following telegram to Dr. Torrey: "Rev. R. A. Torrey, Ottawa, Canada: In view of incorrect statements made in regard to your mission here, the Business Men's Gospel Union requests you to say to the people of Ottawa that you and your work here has the cordial endorsement of the people of Atlanta. The results were greatly beneficial in awakened zeal of church members and the saving of many, many unconverted. See letter. Signed Executive Committee Business Men's Gospel Union, by "W. J. NORTHEN, Chairman." When questioned as to what transpired during the meeting which was held behind closed doors, the governor replied: "Nothing else done of any interest to the public." When the hour for the meeting to occur arrived Governor Northen said to the press representatives: "We are not going to let you stay and hear what occurs at this meeting. We will give out to you anything we desire published." When told he would be telephone at the close of the meeting, and asked if he would give out what occurred, he said: "Well, we may, and may not." No recent publication has so stirred the religious folk of Atlanta, as did the article in the Constitution Monday morning giving a detailed report of the discussion which occurred at the Baptist Ministers' Association, wherein Torrey and his methods were condemned in strong terms, and op position shown to his return to the city. WOMAN TO BE RESPITED. Missouri Supreme Court Refuses Rehearing for Mrs. Myers. Division No. 2 of the Missouri supreme court Tuesday overruled a motion for a rehearing in the case of Mrs. Aggie Myers, sentenced to be hanged on June 29 for the murder of her husband in Kansas City two years ago. Governor Folk said he would grant the condemned woman a respite of either thirty or sixty days to determine whether or not to commute her sentence to life imprisonment. The supreme court decision also affected the case of Frank Hottman, the condemned accomplice of Aggie Myers, and he will be granted a respite by Governor Folk when the woman's sentence is respited. Frank Hottman was Mrs. Myers' lover, and he and the woman killed Myers while he was in bed half unconscious from effects of liquor. QUEER BASEBALL DISSECTED. One Used by Pelicans Found to Contain Plenty of Rubber. Manager Mullaney of the Montgomery baseball team is a believer in the rubber ball work of the New Orleans boys. He secured a ball while playing one of the games in New Orleans and cut it open in the presence of a number of players and several spectators. The ball was made very largely of rubber and bore a private trade mark in ink, which Mullaney claims is made so the ball can be distinguished from the others LAYING OUT THE CAMP. Preparations for Mobilization of the Troops at Chickamauga. Major Hodgson, quartermaster officer, and Major Birmingham, surgeon, with headquarters at Atlanta, and Captain McPherson, engineering corps, Washington, spent Friday laying out the camp for the mobilization of the regular army and troops from the southern states at Chickamauga park. The location will be called Camp George H. Thomas, in honor of the union general whose sobriquet was "The Rock of Chickamauga." STILL MASSACREING HEBREWS. Russian Rioting Breaks Out at An Russian Rioting Breaks Out at Another Point Near Blaivstok. The Jewish World (London) has received the following dispatch from Dwinsk (also termed Duanaberg), province of Vitobsk, 110 miles southeast of Riga, dated, June 18: "Fifty persons have been killed in the anti-Jewish rioting at Starsilisce, not far from Balaystok." CONGRESSMAN KILLED. Col. Lester, Georgia Representative, Falls Through Skylight In Washington and Mangled. A Washington special says; Crashing through a skylight in the cupola 15 feet above the roof of the thirteen story Cairo apartment house, on Q street, about 9:30 o'clock Friday. night Colonel R. E. Lester, representative in congress from Savannah, Ga., was so badly injured that he died at 6:22 o'clock Saturday night. Although the physicians summoned when first Colonel Lester was found, unconscious, pronounced his injuries fatal, he made a gallant fight for life. In a shower of breaking glass his body fell 30 feet to the 12th floor, and his right leg was mangled, while his left leg and shoulder were fractured, and his head and body were cut and bruised. After climbing a ladder and squeezing his body through a hole barely large enough to admit a man, he crawled out upon the frail glass work in the darkness and it gave way under his weight. The strange accident cannot be explained satisfactorily, although it is believed by his relatives that he was searching for his two little grandchildren, Lester and Martha Randolph, and believed they were hiding from him in the garret. After dinner he was in his usual jovial spirit, chatting with the guests of the apartments, where he had lived for more than eleven years during his seasons in Washington. About 9o'clock Friday night, Colonel Lester made his appearance on the portico of the Cairo, and asked about his grandchildren, who have been living with their grandparents since the death of their mother. He appeared to be disappointed because they were not playing in their familiar way, and he sauntered into the house. The children are six and eight years old, respectively. Although it was only a few minutes after his appearance on the portico that the accident occurred, Colonel Lester did not ride up on the elevator. It is regarded as odd that he should climb the distance from the ground to the top of the building, which would fatigue an ordinary man. No one saw him, however, after He passed through the lobby of the apartments until he was picked up unconscious, bleeding from half a dozen gashes. It is the theory of some of his friends that he started out on the roof of the hotel to see if the little ones were not there looking for airship which made an ascent earlier in the day. Of the men now representing Georgia in the national congress, Colonel Lester has had the longest service: He was elected as representative from the first district for the fifty-first congress, and has served continuously since—about seventeen years in all. JURISDICTION OVER TROLLEYS. Taken by the Georgia State Railroad Commission. The Georgia state railroad commission called on the Atlanta Northern Railway company, which operates a trolley line between Atlanta and Marietta, a distance of twenty miles, to file with the commission a schedule of its rates, both passenger and freight. This action marks somewhat of a new departure, as the commission has not heretofore assumed jurisdiction over any trolley lines in Georgia. FIFTY HORSES INCINERATED.

An engine on the new line of the Louisville and Nashville railroad in Polk county, Tennessee, played havoc Sunday morning with a pleasure party, who were riding a handcar from their homes at Patty, Tenn., to a nearby town. The handcar, loaded with men, women and children, was crossing a bridge over the Flawassee river when the engine crashed into it before any of the party could jump to safety. Four of the party were killed outright, and all the others injured. SANFORD SEEKS OFFICE. Announces Candidacy for Comptroller General of Georgia.

Trustees of Georgia State University Elect Him Unanimously. Professor David C. Barrow was unanimously elected chancellor of Georgia state university at the meeting of the board of trustees in Athens Monday. Professor Barrow had all along been adverse to talking the chancellorship, and with a large number of others, including the members of the board of trustees, had done all he could to get Mr. George Foster Peabody to take the place. When the board met Monday afternoon, the opinion of the body was unanimous, and without a dissenting vote the board elected Professor Barrow as chancellor. The board then took up the question of filling the position of dean of Franklin college, the place vacated by Chancellor Barrow. To that position, which is the same as vice chancellor, Professor Charles M. Snelling, of the department of mathematics, was unanimously elected. Chancellor Barrow went before the board and made a short address. Then the news got to the college boys, and they assembled in large numbers in front of the academy building. The Georgia yells rent the air, and cries for "Uncle Dave" were soon resounding over the campus. Chancellor Barrow came out in response to frequent calls for him and made a short address to the boys.
