Both houses of congress adjourned at 10 o'clack Saturday night For the first time in tho history of , tho government congress adjourned on the day wich closed the fiscal year. Other sessions had adjourned before and some after June 30, but the ft- tyninth congress ended ite first ses- sion. on the day when the govern- mont strikes {ts balance and closes its books. There wére some interesting tes- tures to’ mark the end which finally came when there was less than a quo- rum ‘in elther house, as many seni- tors and representagves, relying on the Deliet that the adjournment would come early in the day, made their arrangements to leave in the after- noon and they did not remain for the closing scenes. . Speaker Cannon rigidly carried out bis intention of keeping back the ad- Journment resolution until the bifs were all passed and signed, and the hour for the end was not known until @ short time before the gavel fell ‘The closing scenes in the senate were formal and wiffoit interest. In the house there were the usual hit- arious performances consisting of amusing speeches and songs which oc- cupled the time during the long wiits, and members made the best of tho hottest day of the season with merri- ment. Altogether the session just closed has been a strenuous one from start to finish; The measure which caused the greatest debate 1s the railroad rate ill Begun with the session its consideration continued throughout, Pure food, enactment and meat in spection provision are also important -changes In the, federal attitude to- ward both the producer and consumer of the country. A uniform and moré strict method of naturalizing aliens “was enacted. The type of the Panama canal was fixed, thus settling a question wkich has perplexed both the professional and lay mind. The president is to build a lock waterway and was given a total of $89,000,000 for tho year for that purpog®:. It was re- quired that material for the canal should be of American manufacture, ualess the president shall find the pride axcessive, in which case ho 1s given authority to buy abroad. ‘The consular service was given a complete new legal status,“Wiseh will permit of an entire reorganizetion. When the appropriations for the session are tetaled it will be found that thefr aggregete has reached near- ly $900,000,000. ‘This Is a greater sum than hag been méde available sincs the war congress of 1898. Of this amount $25,000,000 will go into new public buildings in various sections of the country. ‘The annual ‘appropriation for the state militia was doubled and here-' after $2,000,000" will be spent from the federal treasury for the purpose ‘of keeping the state military organ~ izations in touch with the regular army. “A measure of importance to ralk road and other employes engaged in hazardous employments, mown as the employers’ lability bill, became a law. ‘The government will participate in the Jamestown tercentennial expos! Yion and $1,325,000 was authorized ex- pended out of the federal treasury for that event. | ‘Speedy appropriatjoas for the San Francisco sufferers resulted from ro quests by the president, Two and a batt millions was donated directly ax} supplier from the stores of the government early equaled that amount, WAS A GREAT CONGRESS. Work of Session Just Closed Pralsed by Roosevelt, President Roosevelt, upon the ad- Journment of ‘congress, dictated a statement concerning the work accom: plished during the session just con- cluded., Ho says the present?congress has done more substantial work along the Ines of “real constructive states- manship” than bas been accomplish- ed at any session of congress with which the president is familiar, He says the men of genuine patriotism have a right to feel a profound sat- istaction in the entire course of this congress. BATE wads Preaident Axes Hla Signature Te Most Important Measure Passed . By’ the Congress, fhe prealdeat Friday night, at 11:35, signéd the ratlroad rate bill, He also signed the naturalization bill and the bill for the construction of ® lock canal across the Istamus of Panama, , A Washington special says: 1 “We're going; we're going homo to morrow,” was in the minds of Th members of the house Friday wher they assembled for tho last real haré day'a work previous to adjournment. | At 2p. m. the senate agreed to the conference report on the railroad ratd ‘bill, Which passed the bill Genator Tilman called up the con ference report and renewed his at. tack upon the pipeline amendnient as being in the interest of the Stand Ard Oil Company. “About the time the Alllson amend. ments were incubating,” he sald, “there was great force about the Gar- field report on the Standard O11 Com pany, and we were told that the ex Posures of its crimes would help the vote on the rate bill, and under the cover of this dust the president re Ured frym his advanced position on railroad legisfftion and accepted the Allison proviston, “There the big stick and the pitch- fork which had‘Deen In alliance found themselves separated and the pitch- fork, while doing duty on the firing line, looked around to seo the tail of its assoclate hustling toward the rear—sllding toward the Allison base, to use a baseball phrase. The dig stick was rushing on ailfoure to get Detween Father Allison’ legs. “He hed no fault to find,” he add- ed, “except that he considered the tact thet tho president had been in- consistent In not coming to the as sistance of the senate conferees, He considered it a Uttle remarkable when he might do something to thwart the policy of this gigantic monopoly he fs as mum aa a ‘mouse, except that there 4s now another hurrah avout whit the president 1s going to do with He Standard Ol!

He added that notwithstanding the prosecution has been decided upon, we are carefully fold in ad- vance that the high officials, su@ as Rockefeller, ;Rogers and Archi- bald, are not to be molested.” Senators Balley and Tillman engas- ed in 9 very sharp controversy over the latter's denunclation of the law- yers. The Texas senator indicated an opinion that this was demagogy, and Mr. Tillman, while contending that he respected the attorneys of standiag, said he had an utter con- tempt for shysters, and for the men who pack ‘the political conventions. ‘here was intense feeling for a few moments. * At, his functure the vice prestdont found it necessary to interfere and to insist upon the senators addressing the chatr. ‘The interruption gave Mr; Bailey an opportunity to get his breath, and when he restimed he was quite calm. He then sald: “The senator from South Carolina has many desirable qualities, but he has got some prejudices that obscuro his usual fairness and his usual clear- ness, I do not know what grudge he has down In South Carolina against the lawyers. Probably they all re- sisted his eerly political advancement, it they did, I think they were wrong.” He sald that the lawyers ought to be thankful for an occasion that had brought out so eloquent a defense uf thelr profession. He proceeded to de- clare his regard for respectable mem bers of that profession, but sticking to his text, he added? “But I have a most infloite con- tampt for some of the breed I know.” ‘The conference report was adopt- ed without division. This voto had the effect of finally passing-the bill ‘The senate then adopted the joint resolation fixing the time when the aet-shall go into effect, two months after its approval by. the president.

It ran on safely without Incident until It entered tho rallway yard at Galisbury, when the passengers noted that the coaches be- gan swaying from side to side, Sub- sequently at the end of the long pla> form when the track begins to curve towards the bridge spanning Fisher ton stréet, the engine seemed fairly to leap from the track. Lurching forward, the locomotive plunged against the standards aud sirders of the bridge. The bridge withstood the impact and, rebounding, the engine crashed into another en- gine, which was standing on a sid ing, and overturned, The wreckage of the two engines interlocked in a broken mass of twist- ed steel.

He complained that ‘Ais resolution had been pushed aside constantly for one reason or another, Hoe sald he never would have again approached the subject, “but for this fact that the name of the man, Assis- tant Secretary Barnes, who must ba held responsible for thd act, had been sent to the senate for the post mastership of Weshington.” He then detailéd his efforts to have the nomination of Mr, Barnes rojected. In order that ho might not be accus- ed of uflalrness Mr, Tillman had read Mr. Barnes’ defense of his conduct in the Morris affair, 7 ‘He also had read the statements @ Elmer H. Paine, who was -he sald one of the six newspaper men at the ‘executive office when the Morris in- eldent occurred. He commented at some length on Mr. Paine’s state ment, saying he was the only one of the six who had ever had any thing to say about the matter outside of the newspaper or in private com versation. This he epoke of as “re markable,” and then quoted extracts from Mr. Paine’s statement. Jn contrast to thet statement he presented what bw declared to be the actual facts in the case. Thess were included in a statement from Jas. H. Price, another xewspaper man, who had witnessed the occun rence. In Mr. Paine’s statement it was represented that firs Morris was treated as considorately as pos- sible, while Mr. Price sald ske was “carried off like a sack of salt” - Mr, Tillman spoke of Mr, Barnes’ denial of another statement by Mr. Price that a negro man had assist ed in “tue cruel and miserable per- formance.” ‘He sald the president had been very indifferent as to whether he should get at the facts In the case, and he could not understand why Mc Paine had been sifgled out among the newspaper men. He also discussed the difference of testimony as to whether Mrs. Mor ris had been dragged, and as going to “prove beyond all possibility of dispute, he said Mrs. Morris had furnished him with the black slic skirt she wore on the occasion. This was torn in many places, while there was a round hole at one of the knees showing that she unquestionably had een dragged. Not oly was there a ole in the skirt, but there were also moles in” the underclothOg and In he hosiery—proof sufficient to prove my man “an arrant Har," who spoke o the contrary, said the senator, Speaking of the police at the white jouse, Mr. Tillman sald there is uch a tendency toward imperialism s would justify the use of the mil- tary for that purpose. If the country vanfed to go to the devil along the ¢ ines of imperialism he could stand tL “As Indicative of this Inclization, a oung lady has married and gono cross the water, whence she is her- Ided as ‘Princess Alice.’ I don’t hold he ptesident responsible for that, for t would be unfair to hold him re- ponstble for the course of a lot of cols who write headlines, which must @ obnoxious to both the president: nd the young lady.” In closing Mr. Tilman dechred ist Mrs. Morris had been treated worse than a dog,” and that the pres- ent had indorsed this treatment by ppoiuting the man responsible for it » the position of postmaster of Wash- wgton, where the women of the city ould have to come fato contact with im. “I have felt constrained,” he ald, “to do what I have done, end ‘anybody does not like it let him imp it” ‘There wag loud aptause In the gal ries when Mr, Tillman concluded, ut‘ owlag to an objection by Gens- rt Kean the senate refused to vote _ 1 his resolution.

Secretary of State Phil Cook has granted an application of the Brunswick Steamship Company increasing its capital stock from $100,000 to $1,000,000.

These vessels will be completed about November 1. Have Never Faced a Teacher. Hon. Mark Johnson, candidate for state school commissioner, spoke in Roberta on the subject: "Educate the White Children." Mr. Johnson said there were 158,000 white children between the ages of 6 and 18 in the state who had never faced a teacher. He claimed that Georgia was doing more than any southern state to educate the children, and the negro was receiving more from the state than any other state was doing for both races. Another Child Labor Bill. Following the defeat last year at the hands of the upper house of the child labor bill introduced by Hon. Madison Bell, a member of the lower house from Fulton, Senators Full and Peyton have introduced another. This bill provides that no cotton mill or manufacturing establishment shall hire a child under 12 years of age unless it be an orphan without any other means of support, or its parents are absolutely dependent on its help. It is also provided in the bill, that no child under 14 years of age shall be employed in a cotton mill or other manufacturing plant between the hours of 7 p. m. and 6 a. m. According to the proposed legislation every employer prior to securing services of a child under 12 years of age must secure an affidavit from the child's parents that its work is needed beyond other provision.

This is the committee which the state Democratic executive committee will recognize in arranging for the coming gubernatorial primary, to be held on August 22. Such is the decision reached a few days ago in Atlanta by the sub-committee appointed by Chairman Yeomans from the state executive committee to decide which of the two contending committees—the Felder committee or the Maddox committee—should be recognized by the state executive committee. It was a sweeping victory for the Felder committee, the sub-committee expressing its regret that the proposition submitted by the Felder committee, to submit the question to the white Democrats of the county in a special election to be held, was declined by the Maddox committee.

All of the incorporators are prominent railroad owners and promoters. Most of them are stockholders in the Central of Georgia. 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. Liberal Terms and Commission.

The final shaping up of the public building bill, which was signed by the president, shows that Senator Clay succeeded in having retained in the bill all the increases put upon it by the senate. The items in their final form are as follows: Atlanta, $1,000,000; Valdosta, $125,000; Albany, $125,000; Americus, $50,000; Gainesville, $50,000; Marietta, $50,000;; Dalton, $50,000; Newnan, $7,500, for site; Waycross, $7,500, for site; Griffin, $7,500, for site.

While the members representing the different districts directly interested have worked vallantly for their projects and deserve, as they will receive, the thanks of their constituents, much of the credit for the results obtained must be given to Georgia's representatives upon the public buildings committee of the two houses, Representatives Brantley and Senator Clay.

Without tt there will be a vers poor crop and tongh, stringy pods, as well as small ones, The first boeing, if done right, will in itself insure a fair crop. The Grst hoelug must be done as soon as the beans are up. When they poke their noses abore the ground and put forth thelr first green leaves, they also carry the kernels of the old seed with them on the stalk, ‘These ker- nels divide into the two halves just under the first leaves. ‘These must be covered at once. ‘This Js all that the first hoeing calls for, and, indeed, all that Js necessary in future hoeings is to keep these old seeds covered by soll, If tnese two kernels are not covered at once but are allowed to dry in the alr, the vine will lose vigor, If the bean fs to have only one hoeing, I would say by all means let ft be thls one. As a matter of fact the bean should have at least one‘hoeing after, this, preferably two, and always up to ‘the lowest leaf. I must repeat the or der for the first hoelng, because it is so important, Cover the old bean ker~ nels at once aud keep them covered.r If you do not, you will lose halt the’ vine can offer you in the way of healthy pods. I’ have seen beans go to waste because this hoeng was neg~ lected, Also do not hoe beans when the Vines are wet or damp. ‘The pods’ will rust If you do, Hoo'enly when weather is dry aud there 18 no dew on the vines. In setting out-young cabbage plants, set low s0 that the stalk 1s covered up to the lowest leaf. ‘This also applies” to lettuce and cauliflower. Cabbages: should be hoed often and always so a3) to cover stalk up to lowest leaf. Some people even nip off a sickly low leat and hoe above it. : Another “don't” relates to cucumbers, Don't plant them ju a hill.

A sarge audience at the cind 1s- ‘toned with keen interest to the ad- ‘dress on “The Growth and Develop- ment ofthe English Language” by Mr. E, W. Honatonn. The subject was treated most exhaustively by the speaker. The address was replete with many fruitful thoughts, and the ex- cellently gotten up charts, used in the illustration, showed conclasive- ly that Mr. Honstoun had made a carefal and painstaking research in the subject of English. Specimens of Anglo-Saxon, Old English, Middle English were ex- hibited and while not underatood by a good majority of those present they were yery interesting, as con- trasted with present day Enghih. The Lord’s prayer in Lativ, Greek, and German script wai somewhat of a cnriosity to the many who liat- ened with rapt attention to the speaker, and attention was call- éd to the fact that the closing “For Thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory,” eto,, were added by the German and was not in the original Latin or Greek manuscripts. ‘Lo the casual observer the obse- lete worda and the growth of tho language do not appeal very greatly, and itis indeed beneficial that the massea can have a subject of this kind ditcussed in 50 able « manner. We should be prond of the fact that we have men in our midst who can handle these subjects. ‘The Sunday Club is toon to have its next number in the lecture course.

Eprtor of Tix Savannan Tripune:- My dear sir:—I have always regarded you as‘a bellever in fair play and willing to present both sides of the situation, read with interest your ringing editorial upon the! Council-Ransom matter two weeks ago. Anda few days ago I read Mr.,Chas. Stewart's defense of President Council. - Ido not know the facts in the case, but like the Editor of the Moon I am_inclin- ed to belleve {that Ransom's version is more plausible than Councils and has more of the ear marks of verity, But the question is this, did Council play the part ofa host to adistinguishediand invit ed guest? There arecertain unwritten codes of honor, certain unwrittea traditions of hospitality, certain ideals of chivalry and manfiness. Evenif the situation was as Council said, he did not act the part of a host or gentleman to an invited and distia- guished guest. I never heard of a host, refusing to see a guest and scattering broad cast to the world, through associated Press the fact that his guest seemed to. be In a slightly intoxicated condition. < How do white men adjust. such mat: ters? Once upon « time the orator of the day, a man with a national reputa- tion, had taken too much alcoholic stim- ulants, His friends patched him up, put him onthe platform in Bostou,ywas ex- cused the fact that his cloquence war not up tn the usual atandard by saying that he was sick, Again in.New Haven, comes my home, adistioguished general was the guest of the day at a patriotic observance After the ceremonies he indulged rather freely in champange. The Mayor of the city who iavited,him shielded and protected him And I could show that Southern tradition are the same as the New England and Koglish regarding the dutles of a host to guest. m But I am inclined to believe that Coun- cil heard of the trouble on the train that ne dodged behind his boy, a student and wo or three graduates Instead seeing Ransom for himself, ssaman who has een through Ransom’s experience would jot look and act as if he he had emerged rom a band box. sem UTE EY Leerle St. Philip Dots.

GASOLERE MOTOR CARS. 4 New Onn Just Hiotshed, For the Unios.Pactfic Road. NE of the tatest ideas In rall- O way practice fs to bave cars which will run independently of a locomotive, and yet will cot rely on electricity as used by a trolley car—that fs, taking power from ‘a distant station through an overhead wire or otber metallic conductor. Sev- ‘eral diferent methods of driving these cars bave been tried. In! England steam engines are In faror, on the Con- tient of Europe storage batteries Lave a Ihnlted use, and in the United States two other systems are being experl- mented with. Oue is very conipticated. A combination Is made, consisting of a -gasolene engine, a dynamo (to generate electricity) and a motor (like that on a trolley car asle) to use it. ‘This would seem a needlessly expensive plan, be. sause ‘if the power 1s to be derived from a gasolene engine ft might be thought that the latter alone would be enough without any electricity, It is gsserted, however, that with pothlus ‘but a gasolene engine the speed canzot be regulated as fierfectly for a railroad car as for an automobile, and that the addition of the electric machinery makes control of the running eisier han otherwise. Nevertheless, a few companles are trying to wake the gasolene engine alone do the work. One of the roads on which that plan is being tested is the Union Pacific. The frst exper!- ental car was built only about two years ago, and several more ‘have since been constructed. The latest, No. 7, is ‘supposed to represent the lessons of experience derived from the others. In size ft resembles No. 2, but {t has a ‘side entrance, instead of end doors, ‘Lhe roof is twenty-four inches lower than those of drdinary passenger ‘coaches, and a steel frame imparts great strength to the car.

Then, about a month ago, it made a long distance trip. It start out on the main tine westward a shor time after the Overland Limited left. ‘The motor ear galned on the traln to such an extent that at Fremont, forty- six miles from Omaha, it was held back six minutes by a block signal. Owing to a Leary wind and meeting trains from this time on, the schedule was not maintained; however, the total time of the motor car from Omaba to Grand Istand, 163.6 miles, was 5 hours and 12 minutes, with delays amounting to 40 minutes on account of orders, meeting trains, ete. The actual run- uing time for the 1526 miles was 4 hours 32 minutes, or 34 miles per hour, ‘There was no delay whatever on ac- count of the motor ccf, and the ma- chinery was in almost constant motion from Omaba to Grand Island, On the return trip, on April 15, the actual running time was 4 hours 10 minutes. or 363 niles per hour. From Elkhorn to South Omaha, a distance of 243 miles was covered in 36 minutes, or 42 miles per hour. A maximum speed of 53 miles per hour was attained on this .trip.

On every boat bigger than a rowboat a nolse maker of some sort Is as nec essary an item of equlpment as the anchor, to give warning of the ves- sel's presence or approach, ‘Thousands of tin horus of various sizes are annually sold to fishermen, oystermea and men using boats, in many waters, in various pursults, and such horns are sold, as well, for boats used for pleasure. A big horn of this kind might be heard a mile. For larger vessels, such as schoon- ers salllng in open waters and not equipped with power with which to plow whistles, there are provided me- chanical fog horns that can be operat- ed by hand; and that can be heard three or four miles away. ‘With the multiplication everywhere within recent years of pleasure craft there have been introdiiced still oth: er sorts of nclse makers. One of these is a bellows horn, with the horn attached to the top board of a trimly finished bellows of oblong shape, to the top board of which also is attach- ed a handle. “This bellows horn can de put down anywhere and operated simply by pressure. ‘Though not a3 big as the mechanical fos horn it can be heard for a considerable distance. A still smaller bellows noise maker bas in place of a-horn an afr whistle. ‘Another whistle contrivance bas a small upright metal eylinder in which alr is compressed by means of a han~ dle worked like a plunger.

In the last weeks I bate had to re- construct my ideas of patriotism whlie loitering about the sbores of Lake Leman and talking and pulsing all the languages of which I have a smatter- ing, not excepting an artful adapfation of the ancient Greek of Oxford to the modern Greek of Athens.

How js this managed? ‘The question went round the dinner table at Geneva, ‘What fs the nayne of the king, premler, President ‘or ruler of this bappy coun- try?

It was only when the Anglo-Indian shouted for a waiter that the whisper was given— ‘the name of the gentleman who bap- pened this year to be the head of the Swiss Republic.

In ‘Winter you pay kate, tobossan and enjoy many bwinter sports, or lie in pure mountain alr and get rid of tuberculosis affections. In summer you may crowd Lucerne and hang in Dunches over Zermatt on the ends of Topes—guaranteed not to snap. But Switzerland has another line under the counter, It has a spring season—and it smooths the way. Gently it invites you to the shores of Lake Leman—with promises of fowers and the protection of mountalns that ward off the horrid winds from north and east. From the very first the way fs smoothed, for you may fill your pock- Sts with a tourist agency's hotel cou- pons, and ware them languldly as you dodder round the lake from Geneva to Exlan and back again. I was rather nervous about these coupons, fearing that the hotelkeeper would comp!ain that I was not playing the game. For me-I stood on velvet. ‘There was my food and lodging at so much per day, and the only exertion demanded was to tear a bit of paper from a little book, But the Swiss Repyblic is business- like; the hotelkeeper knows that he can make his profit out of the luxuries of life when the necessities are pro- vided. I hear him murmuring, “The little more, and how much it is!” And the traveler departs without murmur- ing, since he knows that the ‘neces- saties of life are in bis breast-pocket. Switzerland knows well enough that the spring visitors to the lake are not intent upon climbing, or, indeed, upon any physical exertion that can be rea- sonably avolded. ~There {s just the bit of peaks to be surmounted, and from the middle of the Pont du Mt.

According 1 an official of the Geo- logical Survey, very wonderful exper!- ments have beeh made'a recent years with reference to the “diffusion of solld metals.” It bas been pioted, for in- stance, that gold, without being melted, will diffuse its atoms through a mass of solld lead. Of cotrse, the amount of the diffusion is very slight, but it is easily measurable. In some of the experiments cylinders of lead about two and threc-quarter inches fa lengtb, with gold placed st the bottom, were kept at a high tem- perature, but not high enough te melt elther of the metals for various perlods fof time. In three days enough gold ‘had passed upward through the solid lead to be detected at the top of the ‘eplinders, Gold and lead kept-pressed together for four days, without’ belng ‘heated above ordinary temperatures, were strongly united, Solid gold also diffuses In solid sliver and solid copper. These facts are regarded as contr mation of the view long held in certain quarters that the three conditions of matters, solld, liquid and gaseous, prob- ably always exist In every llquld or solid substance, but that one predom Inates over the otlers.

If you have talent and are ambitious of distinction, why don't you give evidence of it in the columns of. yourown paper?

Brooklyn, N. X.-In Grace Presbyterian Church the pastor, the Rev. Robert H. Carson, preached Sunday evening from the book of Ruth. Among other things he said: We miss a great deal of the beauty and power of the Bible because of the manner in which we are accustomed to read it. There are very few who take time to read a whole book through at a single sitting. We dip into Scripture as if it were a book of fate, reading a verse here and another there, so it is not surprising that we rise from the exercise having received but little help and spiritual refreshment. There is no royal road to knowledge. There is no way to garner the lessons which Holy Scripture teaches save through that steady and persistent searching of which our Savious spoke when He said, "Search the Scriptures, for they are they which testify of Me." It is our hope this evening to point out some of the beautiful lessons contained in one little book of the Bible, in one of the most delightful stories ever presented for contemplation by the mind of man. I refer to the book of Ruth. Its very place in the sacred canon makes it a memorable piece of literature. It is, as you know, preceded by the book of Judges, and followed by the book of Samuel. These books are concerned almost exclusively with the national history of Israel—with the wars, defeats, humiliations, murmurings, complainings, repinings and repentances of the people. They are not, in the main, pleasant reading. Their pages are red with blood, and violence, and rapine, and lawless deeds, the unchangeable consequences of a nation forgetting God and neglecting to do His will. It is a great pleasure, therefore, to turn from these books that tell of the ups and downs of national life, and fix the attention upon the charming story of Ruth. That little book pictures domestic life; it gives us a glimpse into the quiet, everyday habits and customs of the men and women of that time, and we see them in their homes, in the harvest fields, at the festivals, and at religious services. Biography is, I think, the favorite reading matter. We are deluged with a flood of fictitious biography in the shape of novels which come by thousands from the printing press every year. It is an easy, but not very profitable kind of reading, for in the majority of cases there is a great deal of unreality, too great an absence of the lifelike, and too little of what we know to be a common experience. It is not so, however, in the book of Ruth. There we have life truly depicted; there we meet with men and women as we find them to-day—not angels and not demons, but erring, enduring, faithful and not unblest. It is not my intention to enter upon the story. I trust that you all know it, or that if you do not, that you will take a quiet half hour this very evening, and peruse that little book, which, in its superiority, is as far removed from our modern stories as the east is from the west. In coming into touch, then, with this piece of sacred literature, and considering for our edification some of the lessons which it teaches, we see first of all the superiority of character. The two chief figures in the story are Boaz and Ruth, and it is their characters that make them such. There is not in the whole range of literature a better type of manly, healthy religion than is exemplified in the case of Boaz. You remember that scene in the harvest field. He went down to his reapers, and his salutation without any cant or insincerity, was, "The Lord be with you." My friends, when such a greeting as that can take place between master and men, it testifies to the presence of a religion that leaves its mark upon very act, and upon all the conduct of life. It is the men like Boaz who are the ornament and glory of religion; the men whose beliefs influence them all in the manifold concerns of life, in the forum, in the market place abroad as well as at home. Our Lord tells us who are to be accounted blessed. It is not the mere hearers of His word, nor they who can cry, "Lord, Lord," and affirm that they have prayed in public places. It is "Blessed are the doers of the Word," and blessed they aline. Such in his day was Boaz—a man of kindly feelings, pure heart, strong conviction, true purpose, and the benediction of the Most High was upon him. Such, too, was Ruth, with her loving, tender, considerate heart—one of the fairest characters in the whole range of Hebrew Scripture. And the most noteworthy fact in this connection, is that these characters were produced amid surroundings and an environment that would have discouraged the average person. It was a lawless time; restraints were weakened or entirely removed, and men became a law unto themselves. Such a condition of society is not favorable to the cultivation and development of the nobler virtues, and yet, amid such a state of things, we have the stirring example of these two who bravely maintained the testimony and did the right. It is not at all unusual to hear men blame their surroundings for their errors and mistakes; it is, indeed, the common way by which we seek to condo our failings, but the excuse is not valid. Some men, it is true, are more strongly tempted than others; some are in places that require a strong-heart, a firm faith, an unshaken confidence in God and in the power of Christ in order that they may be kept from the evil that prevails around them; but no man, if his purpose be true, can ever be wholly overcome. There is no temptation that hath befallen any man but what is common, and always with the temptation there is a way of escape if, trusting in the grace divine and in the strength omnipotent, our heart and wills be set on delivery. Amid surroundings most unfavorable these two salaints weat on from strength to strength, growing in grace and in favor, both with God and men, because their hearts were right and their spirita_true. By their example we should be taught; we should not weakly blame our place or condition for our failures, but, looking up to God, we should ask. Him to search and try us, to see if there is any wicked way in us, and lead us in the way everlasting. But we learn again, from the story, the place of good works in the religious life. I do not think we would have heard of Bonz and Ruth if their religious life had consisted of faith alone. It is their deeds, the results, in daily life, of their faith that is especially dwelt-upon. In this respect the book of Ruth makes an admirable commentary upon the epistle of James. Indeed, one of the most cheering features of modern religious life lies in the fact that this divinely appointed connection between faith and works is daily receiving more attention. Far be it from me to lightly criticise our Puritan forbears, still as we read about these heroic men of whom the world was not worthy, does it not sometimes seem as if the necessity of faith was emphasized at the expense of the necessity of works to correspond? The two have been joined together; their union constitutes the perfect religious life, and what God hath joined together let not man put asunder. What I am trying to say has been summed up in a sentence by the late F. W. Robertson, a sentence which the church should never let die, and that sentence is, "Faith alone saves, but not the faith that is alone." You remember Christ's words, "Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?" The man who rises from his knees with the glow of the divine communion upon his face, the man whose faith hath made him a partaker of the power of God, and who then goes forth to live the life which his faith hath revealed to him, is the man of whom Christ alone will not be ashamed when He cometh in the glory of His Father and of the holy angels to judge the world. It is noteworthy, too, I think, that the virtue in which Boaz and Ruth excelled was the plain, everyday virtue of kindness. The greatest material blessings are the most common; air, light, water, these are within the reach of all. So also the greatest virtues are within the power of all to possess. Eaul says, "Now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three, but the greatest of these is charity." It is possible for us to attain to the possession of that grace—the greatest of all. We all have diverse gifts and powers, differing one from another, so that some mount higher than others, but there is none of us, no matter what our limitations may be, who cannot speak the kind word, do the kind deed and pass the kindly judgment, and that is charity, the greatest of the virtues. What a change would take place in this old and weary world if only our deeds corresponded with our faith and we fulfilled the royal law according to the Scriptures: "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." But, again, the book of Ruth teaches us the necessity of decision. We read that Ruth and Orpah came to the parting of the ways, that one turned back to Moab and her people, and that the other took her way to the land of Israel. Is not that a true smile of life? Sooner or later each one of us comes to the parting of the ways, and we make the decision whose results are endless. "The kingdom of Heaven," saith our Lord, "sufferer violence, and the violent take it by force." That means that one cannot drift into it. It needs a strong exertion of the will, a decision that abides. Memorable forever is Ruth's decision. When she says to Naomil, "Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee, for whither thou goest I will go, and where thou lodgest I will lodge, thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God," she takes her place among the first ranks of those to whom the high and gracious hearts of all ages pay reverence. Friends, it is a great thing, it is a needful thing in life to be capable of a clear resolve. The man is to be envied who can part between this and that of opposing claims and considerations, and is able to say, "Here I see my path; along this and no other will I go." Indeed this ability to make decision is the foundation of all true and successful life. In religion there is no escape from it. You cannot drift into a state of salvation in a crowd. "Once to every man and nation comes the moment to decide in the strife 'twylt truth and falsehood, for the good or evil side.' To each of us individually comes the choice what to do. Many a one, I think, is kept from the freedom and joy of Christianity not because these things are undesired, not because the call of Christ is unheeded, or His claims unacknowledged, but simply for the want of the power of decision, of strength to go forward upon a personal quest. Young friends, to you especially this lesson comes. You have still with you the power of choice, and to you from out eternity comes the cry, "Choose ye, choose ye, this day whom ye will serve." Pray God that you make the good choice, and receive His grace to abide therein. Delusion. The common conception of life is false. The vast majority of people are laboring under a delusion. You stand where the tides of humanity roll swift and strong--you see men accumulating colossal fortunes at a bound and living in a dazzling splendor; you notice the sleek, fat and pleasure-loving epicureans at the clubhouses; the coarse, amorous Falstaffs at the social functions, the Ceopatras, the Salomes and society queens whose studied grace and wine flushed cheeks entrance but to destroy and you say: "This is life, life, high noon and high midnight of the twentieth century."—Rev. C. G. Greenwood. His Perfect Naturalness. Nothing is more wonderful about our Lord than His perfect naturalness, His absolute balance, His reality, reasonableness, artlessness, completeness. Nothing excessive, nothing wanting; nothing artificial, nothing unsymmetrical; no underdoing, no overdoing. The goodness of Christ was like the sunshine, the breeze, the dawn, like the sweet summer rain braided with the rainbow.—William L. Watkinson. A Glorious Gift. What a glorius gift conscious existence is in itself! Heaven must essentially consist in the absence of whatever disturbs the quiet enjoyment of that consciousness—in the intimate conviction of the presence of God.—Blanco Whites. When the ankle is only slightly strained, and no ligaments torn, there will only be slight swelling and pain when an attempt is made to walk. The treatment is simple.

Screamed Wilt Palm—Suffering Nearly Broke Parent's Heart—Speedily Cured by Cuticura.. "I wish to inform you that the Cuticura Remedies have put a stop to twelve years of misery I passed with my son. As an infant I noticed on his body a red spot, and treated same with different remedies for about five years, but when the spot began to get larger I put him under the care of doctors. Under their treatment the disease spread to four different parts of his body. The longer the doctors treated him the worse it grew. During the day it would get rough and form like scales. At night it would be cracked, inflamed and badly swollen, with terrible burning and itching. When I think of his suffering it nearly breaks my heart. His screams could be heard down stairs. The suffering of my son made me full of misery. I had no ambition to work, to eat, nor could I sleep. One doctor told me that my son's eczema was incurable, and gave it up for a bad job. One evening I saw an article in the paper about the wonderful Cuticura and decided to give it a trial. I tell you the Cuticura Ointment is worth its weight in gold, and when I had used the first box of Ointment there was a great improvement, and by the time I had used the second set of Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Resolvent my child was cured. He is now twelve years old, and his skin is as fine and smooth as silk. Michael Steinman, 7 Sumner Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y., April 10, 1905."

Deadly Explosives and Toy Pistols Get in Their Work. Little Mining Town Shows Largest Score—Summary of Fatalities in Various Cities—Lockjaw Victims Yet to Come. At Wanamie, a mining town five miles from Wilkesbarre, Pa., five boys were killed and nine others injured by celebrating the 4th of July. They had placed powder in a pipe, and it failed to go off. They then forced a stick of dynamite into the pipe, and began pounding it. A terrific explosion followed. Four of the boys were badly mangled, and the fifth died on the way to the hospital. Some of the injured are so badly hurt that they may die. Legislators Injured. At Baton Rouge giant fire crackers injured two members of the Louisiana state legislature during a fourth of July parade of the house of representatives. The legislators lighted and discharged the crackers as they marched. One exploded before the face of Charles B. Stroudback of New Orleans, tearing his hat and gashing his forehead. Another tore two fingers of Representative J. M. Hirt of Reserve. Previous to the parade, a barrel was placed in the house chambers, where the members had been in session, and giant crackers were exploded in it, some of them big enough to jar almost the entire state house. Boy Kills Companion. Murray Kitts was accidentally shot and killed at Fulton, N. Y., Tuesday night by Frederick Parker, a companion about the same age. The boys were planning for the 6th of July. Parker discharged, what he supposed was a blank cartridge from a revolver, and Kitts fell with a bullet in his head and died almost instantly. Four Fatalities in Indiana. Reports received from throughout Indiana show four fatalities and a large number of persons injured as the result of the celebration of the 4th. Only. One Killed in New York. While the list of minor accidents as the result of the celebration of the 4th in New York reached far up into the hundreds, there were fewer serious casualties than for many years, only one death was reported by the police, that of Morris Shapiro, a Seltzer water manufacturer, who was shot in the head by a stray bullet as he was driving in Harlem. He died soon afterwards. The police were unable to learn where the bullet came from. Deadly Toy Cannon. Edward Guthrie, a 17-year-old youth, was killed at Memphis, Tenn., by the explosion of a toy cannon which he was firing. The cannon, which was made of galvanized piping, broke into fragments, one of the fragments plercing his heart. Both Eyes Destroyed. Dealey Tilghman, six-year-old, son of R. L.

And Several Injured by a Runaway Coal Car. BODIES BADLY MANGLED Flesh, Blood and Bones of Hapless Victims Were Strewn Along Track for Several Miles — Accident 'A special from Altoona, Pa., says: A runaway mine car, flying like the wind down a mine branch track that runs from Puritan to Portage, just before midnight Tuesday night killed eleven men and injured several more. The car had been left standing near Puritan when the mines closed, and some malicious person loosened the brakes and permitted the car to speed down the sharp incline. The disaster happened on what is known as Martin's branch, a stretch of track four miles long. The car was stopped one mile west of Portage, but in the short space of three miles eleven men were instantly killed. The car crashed into a number of cars standing on the track and was wrecked. An investigation disclosed blood and particles of clothing on the wheels and several men were sent back over the track to see what had started the caf on its wild trip. They had gone but a short distance when they were horrified by seeing the mangleled remains of a man lying beside the track. Going further another body was found. Several hundred feet up the incline two bodies, horribly mangleled, were lying on the track. On and still on, the searchers went and by the time they had arrived at Puritan eleven bodies had been counted. The accident is one of the most peculiar that ever occurred in the history of railroading in that section. Like a juggernaut the wildly moving car executed its toll of death every few hundred feet. Telephonic advises received in Altoona declare that with one exception the men were foreigners. It was impossible to obtain a list of the dead. Officials of the Puritan mine say that it is their belief that the car was started down the line by strikers at the mines, having been started on a non-union basis several weeks ago. BRYAN IN LONDON TOWN. Nebraskan Was Central Figure at the Banquet of American Society. William J. Bryan and Mrs. Bryan arrived in London from Norway late Tuesday afternoon.

Ambassador Whitelaw Reid and Mr. Bryan engaged in some sharp but good-humored ralllery and banter over political differences, the crowd evincing its enjoyment of the sport with cheers and shouts of laughter. Georgia Representatives Did Not Observe the Glorious Fourth. "The Georgia house of representatives did not observe the 4th of July as a holiday. This fact was due to the successful filibustering tactics of Mr. Hall of Bibb, who at 12:40 q'clock Tuesday obtained the floor and spoke on the necessity of losing no time by adjournments until the speaker declared the house adjourned to 10 o'clock Wednesday morning, the hour of adjournment having arrived. "What do you want with the 4th of July?" asked Mr. Hall. "To go to ball games, eat watermelons and see niggers parade!" ATTORNEYS TOO FRESH. Jalled for Accusing Judge of Misconduct in Ice Trust Case.

Of Running Government Is Very Little, Says Tawney. Total of Appropriations Made by the Congress Just Closed $880,183,301. Representative Livingston Calls It Extravagance. Representative Tawney, chairman of the house committee on appropriations, has prepared a statement concerning the appropriations made by congress during the session just closed for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1906, in which he claims that the per capita cost of government in the United States including federal and state is less than in any other country. Mr. Tawney enters upon an analysis showing the various channels into which the total appropriation of $880,183,301 will be diverted. He begins by deducting $139,456,415 provided for the sinking fund and for the Panama canal, showing that the real appropriation for the conduct of the affairs of government for the fiscal year is $740,726,886. To meet this demand he estimates that the total revenues (customs, internal and postal) will be $781,573,364. The aggregate appropriation is $60,000,000 in excess of that for last year. Of the various increases that of $3,060,250 is made on account of meat inspection; $1,420,332 on account of the army; $968,046 to carry the new consular law into effect; $1,734,970 on account of the navy; $1,995,400 on account of pensions; $10,673,905 on account of the postoffice department, of which $3,030,000 was for rural free delivery. Of the appropriations made about $31,000,000 was unestimated for. included in this list were the following: Ten million, two hundred and fifty thousand dollars in the statethood account, $1,000,000 for arming and equipping the militia, $2,500,000 on account earthquake and fire at San Francisco, $500,000 on account the new quarantine law, $10,231,600 on account of public buildings. Mr. Tawney comments as follows on the volume of the appropriations: "While the expenditures of our government are constantly increasing, and while appropriations made therefor by congress are in the aggregate very large, yet when we take into consideration the marvelous growth of the country, the extent to which the people demand that the federal government shall perform services that should be paid for by the states, none but the unthinking or misguided can find any good reason to criticize appropriations made by this session of congress." In a statement of the minority, Representative Livingston makes a comparison of the expenditures provided for by this congress, $880,183,301, with the expenditures of 1898, the first year of President McKinley's administration, in which the figures were $523,735,079, a difference of $351.448,222. Commenting on this showing, he says: "This growth in appropriations sustains the contention that the republican party stands for extravagance in public expenditures in order to use that extravagance as a cloak for their more objectionable tariff to favor the unjust combinations of manufacturers of the country. "Much of this extravagance grows out of the practice prevailing with the present administration of appointment of commissions to do what congress ought to do, and what congressmen are elected for and paid for, thus delegating the powers constitutionally belonging to congress to others who have no particular relations with the responsibilities to the public and do not render an accounting to tax payers of this country." WOMAN HELD TURNKEY. Faithful Wife of Convict Alds Him In Breaking Jail. Through the assistance of his wife, J. F.

Mrs. Thaw told of her associations, with White before her marriage, and of his alleged pursuit of her after her marriage. Among the Masons The Grand Secretary has about finished compiling the minutes, of the recent grand communications. Lodges wishing to be reported in full had better attend to same immediately. Each representative of the Grand Lodge left for home with the intention of making the coming Masonic year, the best in the history of the jurisdiction. Every communication received by W. M. or secretary should be read to the lodge. Recently frequent complaints have been made about some officer failing to do so. The Grand Chapter O. E. S. will meet in Atlanta on August 14. Each chapter in the state is expected to be represented. Titus Lodge No. 152 at Alley had a glorious time on St. John's Day. At 10 o'clock the lodge was called on. A procession was formed along with the ladies of the Eastern Star with Brother M. L. Jumper as marshal. The procession wended its way to the Baptist Church, where the exercises were had and the following program carried out: Song by Brother W. C. Calhoun. Prayer lv-Rev. S. Ross. Introductory remarks by Brother W. E. Johnson. Paper by Brother J. H. Carmlachel, from the Grand Lodge of California on the evil effects of Compact Masonry. Pastmaster S. S. Mincy, in an able manner, made an eloquent address, which was heartily applauded. Rev. H. R. Ray preached an interesting sermon, taking as his text, Proverbs 9:1. The collection amounted to $9.19. After the benediction the lodge and the ladies returned to the hall, where a sumptuous dinner was served. [Name] BROTHER P. W. BUTLER, W. M. Composite Lodge No. 40. Composite Lodge No. 40, Waycross, observed St. John's Day. The lodge was called on at 2:30 o'clock and marched to the Macedonia Church. Addresses were delivered by Rev. Tompkins, Brother S. M. Scarlett and Worshipful Master P. W. Butler. An excellent sermon was preached by the Rev. J. H. McDavis and it was cordially received by all who heard it, despite the fact that he had only thirty minutes to prepare for the same. The celebration did much to enthuse the brethren and Composite is regaining the place she once held at the front of the best lodges. Dear Brother: Permit us to say, through your valuable paper, that Zorah Lodge No. 217, A. F. & A. M., Pembroke, Ga., celebrated St. John's Day, on Sunday, 24th Instant, in grand, style. At ten o'clock a. m. Worshipful Master J. D. McMoore called the lodge on. Light refreshments were served to the public in general. The lodge then repaired to Mt. Morlah Baptist Church, where we listened to an address by Professor J. A. Lockette, A. B., and a sermon by Rev. S. M. Walker, of Liberty City, Ga. Ten dollars and twenty cents were raised for the benefit of charity. We feel safe in saying that a landmark has been made for Masonry in this section. Quite a large crowd was in attendance.
