The Savannah Tribune. VOL. XXI. BUCKET SHOPS NIL If Bill Passed in Georgia House Becomes Law. MEASURE MOST DRASTIC Prohibits All Dealing In Marginal Futures of Whatever Nature—Boykin Substitute Adopted by a Vote of 132 to 15. Despite all attempts to lessen the drastic features of the substitute, of Mr. Boykin of Lincoln' for house bill No. 27, to prohibit the making of contracts and agreements for the sale and future delivery of cotton, grain provisions, stocks and bonds, etc., upon margins, the bill was passed by the Georgia house of representatives Tuesday just before adjournment of the morning session by the overwhelming majority of 132 to 15, carrying only such amendments as the author of the bill saw fit to accept, and which but served to make the bill the more sweeping in its provisions. The principal amendment adopted was that providing that the payment of any license should not be a defense to any prosecution for a violation of the provisions of the act. The debate consumed the entire morning, and it was necessary to extend the session beyond one o'clock in order to reach a vote. Sensational allusion to the Southern Cotton Association was made by Mr. Anderson of Chatham, when he suggested that the association might look into its own affairs with a view to ascertaining who was dealing in futures under a supposedly assumed name, in addition to assisting in the establishment of a bucket shop in Atlanta. The Boykin substitute as amended and passed by the house is entitled an act to prohibit contracts and agreements for the sale and future delivery of cotton, grain, provisions and other commodities, stocks, bonds and other securities upon margin, commonly known as dealing in futures; to declare such transactions unlawful and to constitute a misdemeanor on the part of any persons, association of persons or corporation participating therein, whether directly or indirectly; to prohibit any person from establishing, maintaining or operating an office or place of business where such transactions are carled on; to define what shall constitute prima facie evidence of guilt; to compel all persons participating in such transactions to testify concerning their connection therewith; to provide that no discovery made by any witness which would tend to subject him to conviction or punishment under this act shall be used against such witness in any penal or criminal proceeding, and that he shall be altogether pardoned therefor; to provide that regular commercial exchanges and other bona fide trade organizations may post quotations of market prices; and for other purposes. BACK TO HIS FIRST LOVE. Judge Twiggs, "Skidood" by Second Spouse, Remarries First Wife. At Savannah, Ga., Judge H. D. D. Twiggs and Mrs. Lucie E. T. Twiggs were quietly remarried by Rev. John D. Jordan, the ceremony closing a separation of many years, during which the groom married another woman, who later secured a divorce from him. Miss Isabelle Twiggs, their daughter, was present. The couple will reside in Savannah. HAD EARTHQUAKE CLAUSE. Austrian Insurance Company WILL Not Pay. Frisco, Policies.

The company's policies carried an earthquake clause. PREPARING FOR THE CAMPAIGN. Quartet of Republican Leaders Hold Conference With President. A quartet of republican leaders went to Sagamore Hill Monday to talk over the coming congressional campaign with the president. The visitors consisted of Speaker Cannon, Representative Sherman of New York, Representative McKinley of Ohio and Representative Loudenslager of New Jersey. There was a general expression of satisfaction by all the members who attended the conference, and a general disposition exists to begin an actice campaign at once. Declared in Edict of Czar Promulgated by Premier Stolypin — Empire Trembles in Balance. A St. Petersburg special says: War to the knife with revolution and the knife to the hilt was proclaimed on Tuesday by Premier Stolypin in a telegram addressed to the governors general, governors and prefects all throughout Russia, and to the viceroy of Caucasus, who are ordered to strike and spare not in efforts to preserve order and crush "the enemies of society." Included in this category, as shown by the events of the day, are not only revolutionists and socialists, but also the educated liberal and landed classes represented in the constitutional democratic party, and the progressive newspapers, which are not permitted to lift their voices anywhere throughout the entire land. Premier Stolypin's telegram is as follows: "In conformity with instructions received from the emperor with the view to securing full cooperation between the different local authorities, I hereby inform you that the government expects you to exercise vigilant and untiring supervision over your subordinates so that order may be promptly and definitely restored. Disturbances must be suppressed, and revolutionary movements must be put down by all legal means. The measures you take must be carefully considered. The struggle begun is against the 'enemies of society' and not in any sense against society itself. Consequently, wholesale repression cannot be approved of. Imprudent and illegal acts are likely to give rise to discontent instead of conducting to calm and cannot be tolerated. "The intentions of the emperor are immutable. The government firmly desires to assist in the amendment of legal procedure laws hitherto enforced which no longer serve their purpose. The old regime will be regenerated, but order must be fully maintained You must act on your own initiative, as you are invested with responsibility. Firm and vigorous steps taken on these lines will doubtless be upheld by the best part of society." ON SHOP-LIFTING. CHARGE Rich Cincinnati Woman Is Jailed at Chicago A private detective in the Marshall Field store at Chicago arrested Mrs. Elizabeth Schwertrauber, 53 years old, wife of a wealthy real estate dealer of Cincinnati, on a charge of stealing a lace collar and silk waist. After she had been locked in the Harrison street police station for six hours, Mrs. Schwertrauber was released on bonds signed by her husband and Otto Steinpoff, a restaurant keeper, whose family she was visiting. The police say she was caught trying to conceal the stolen articles in her clothes. UNION MEN ARE INDICTED. New York Organization Officials Alleged Embezzlers. The grand jury at New York has returned indictments against three officials of the HouseSmith's and Bridgemen's Union, local No. 52, charging grand larceny in the second degree. It is alleged that bogus certificates of membership to the union were issued, and that sums varying from $100 to $200 were obtained from various men who testified that after paying membership fees they found that they were not recognized as union men. 'FRIS SCHOOLS RESUME. Public Institutions Open for First Time Since Great Fire. The public schools of San Francisco opened Monday for the first time since the fire, and were well attended. As nearly thirty school buildings were destroyed, the schools in some of the districts were badly overcrowded, and will be ordered on the half-day plan until more facilities are provided. APPEAL TO ROOSEVELT. Badly Treated Citizens of Isle of Pines Seek Vengeance. A committee of American residents of the Isle of Pines has forwarded to President Roosevelt a request for the intervention of the American government in the case of L. C. Glittner, postmaster of the town of Columbia; William Augustine and Miss Millie Brown, 19 years of age, all Americans, asserting that although the persons named had committed no crime, they were unjustly and practically without trial sentenced to flue or imprisonment. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. JULY 28, 1906. DOUMA IS DEFIANT Outlawed Russ Parliament Re-Assembles in Finland. APPEAL FOR REVOLUTION Gathering Was Broken Up by Authorities, But Not Before Adopting Proclamation Defying Czar and Calling for an Uprising. A St. Petersburg special says: The result of the Russian government's action in ordering the dissolution of parliament has apparently restored all the conditions of repression, wholesale arrests and reliance on a display of military force that obtained before the people had their brief taste of representative government. In St. Petersburg itself there was little surface indication Monday of trouble in the face of the strong force of troops, but there were many arrests. The most important development of Monday took place at Viborg, Finland, where the members of parliament had fled to continue their sessions formally dissolved at St. Petersburg. The members had been frantically at work on their manifesto to the people, anticipating the possible arrival of troops when the assemblage was informed that the governor general of Finland had ordered the governor of Viborg to close the meetings' of the members of parliament, using military force if necessary. The governor general added that such meeting could not be held in Finland previously durin the session the radicals had supported the group of toil who urged that the members of parliament should place themselves at the head of a revolution. At the last the constitutional democrats joined the radicals and the douma adopted a hastily prepared proclamation protesting against the dissolution of parliament. Calls for Virtual Recognition Although Viborg Is in a state of siege and the government ordered guns turned upon the members of the dissolved parliament, that body, before finally adjourning, adopted a proclamation to the people, appealing to them not to pay taxes, not to recruit the army, or recognise the government loan; virtually calling upon the masses to rise in rebellion against the "illegal dissolving of parliament." The people of Russia were appealed to to "seize the liberty denied them by the government." Copies of the appeal to the people are in the hands of all St. Petersburg newspapers, but it will scarcely be printed for the reason that a detachment of police is posted at the doors of every newspaper printing office in the city with orders not to permit any papers to leave the building until authorized by the censor. The authorities hope by equally vigorous measures to prevent the publication of the appeal in other cities and in the meantime to nullify the fears of the people as to the possible effect of the appeal. Hloting and wild disorders have been reported from Odessa, Kharkoff, Kislovsk and Saratov. Thousands of arrests have taken place, and the work of massing troops at important centers is being carried on with redoubled vigor. CASTE IN THE CHUROHES. Is Assertion Made During Meeting of Atlanta Ministers. "There is a spirit of caste springing up in our churches," said Rev. Frank Eakes at the Methodist ministers' meeting in Atlanta Monday morning, amidst considerable excitement caused by this remark, which was delivered with vehemence He continued: "There is apparently developing a feeling in our church membership, which is saying: "I am a little grain better than these—I cannot afford to mix and mingle with them. In fact I cannot associate with them, for they are not my kind." "LONG LIVE THE DOUMAI" Bryan and English Premier Express Sorrow Over Action of Czar. 'A cable from London to the New York American says: William J. Bryan said yesterday that he was sorry to see the douma dissolved. Premier Campbell-Bannerman had happily expressed the situation when he paraphrased the old saying: "The douma is dead; long live the douma," meaning that whatever may happen to the personnel of the douma as an institution, it still lives. SLAVS THROTTLED Czar Dissolves Russ Congress With Stroke of Pen. MAILED HAND IS SHOWN Autocrat Has Elected to Fight Rather Than Grant Reforms—Declares Martial Law and Depends On Bayoneta. A St. Petersburg dispatch says: Russia's first experiment in parliamentary government came to an ignominious end Saturday night with the promulgation of two imperial ukases, the first dissolving the present parliament and providing for the convocation of its successor on March 5, 1907, and the second proclaiming the capital of Russia and the surrounding provinces to be in a state of extraordinary security, which is infinitesimally different from all martial law. This measure of safety is to provide for the outbursts which undoubtedly will be provoked by this daring measure. It is now but a step to dictatorship. The text of the two ukases, both of which are addressed in the stereotyped form to the ruling senate, are as follows: "According to paragraph 105 of the fundamental law we order the imperial parliament dissolved and fix the time for the convocation of the newly elected parliament for March 5, 1907. "Regarding the time for the new election to the imperial parliament we will later issue special indications. "The ruling senate will not fail to take proper measures to place this into effect. (Signed). "NICHOLAS." The text of the second ukase follows: "In consideration of a report of the council of ministers presented to us regarding the necessity in the future for the preservation of order and public safety in the city and province of St. Petersburg, we consider it necessary to declare in the above city and province, instead of the state of reinforced security which now prevails there, a state of extraordinary security. The prefect of the city and governor of the province are entrusted with the rights thereto appertaining. "The ruling senate will not fall to take proper measures to place this into effect. (Signed)." With these pithy but momentous orders, Emperor Nicholas by a stroke of the pen set Russia back to where she stood two years ago in the full grip of autocracy and irresponsible government, wilping, out for six months at least the whole structure of parliament, erected at such cost. No one doubts the severity of the storm which will rise in the country in response to the emperor's dispersal of the men whom he welcomed two months ago in the 'winter palace as the 'best men in Russia;" but the die is cast. The government has elected to fight, and St. Petersburg bears eloquent testimony of the preparations made to repress the masses by force. The city is packed with soldiers and resembles an armed camp. The parliament was constituted May 10, 1906, amid scenes of general rejoilings. The speech from the throne, read at the opening session, was conciliatory in tone. The re-organized council of the empire was formally convened in the hall of nobles at the winter palace the following day. A striking feature of the lower house was the multiplicity of races represented, there being great Russians, little Russians, white Russians, Poles, Lithuanians, Letts, Germans, Tartars, Bashkirs, Kırghis, Circassians, Mordvanians, Votiks, Jews, Bulgarians, Chuvas, Roumanians, Calmuks, Georgians, Armenians, Ossetines and Burlats in attendance. During the entire session the lower house had been at bitter odds with the ministry, and has demanded its resignation, and the formation of a cabinet from members of the majority. MAY TIE UP PRINTERIES: Chicago Allied Printing Council Joins Typos In Eight-Hour Fight. All of the printing establishments in Chicago promise to be tied up owing to the fact that the Allied Printing Council have decided to assist the printers in gaining the eight-hour day, for which they have been fighting several months. Bookbinders, pressmen, engravers and others are expected to join, and the probability is that the shops will be unable to operate, until an adjustment of the troubles has been arranged. SLAIN BY FILIPINOS. Rebellious Pulajanes Make Attack on American Troops, Killing Nineteen and Capturing Their Arms. A Manilla special says: A detachment of constabulary, Lieutenant Williams commanding, encountered a band of 600 Pulajanes, near Burauen, on the island of Leye, Sunday morning. Lieutenant Worwick, twelve privates and Cirillan Scout McBrida were killed. Five of the constabulary were killed June 19. The constabulary was driven back in the Sunday engagement. The Pulajanes secured fourteen rifles and two revolvers. The bodies of Worwick, McBride and ten privates were recovered. Reinforcements pf constabulary have been sent from the nearest station. Major Neville reports that there are from 400 to 1,000 Pulajanes in the field. Burauen, in the island of Leyte, was also the scene of a hard fight, between insurrectionists and the police and constabulary on June 16. Under the leadership of Caesario Pastor, a band of insurrectionists attacked the police in the town, and killed five of them. Five other policemen were also seriously injured in the fight, and the rebels managed to obtain the records of the town, which they burned in the street. Caesario Pastor was killed in the fight, and a number of other revolutionists met death, but their comrades carried the bodies away to prevent the policemen and constabulary from learning how many natives were killed. At that time Pastor was known to have 300 natives in his party. Lieutenant Johnson and a detachment of the constabulary pursued the marauders, but did not catch them. NEGRO PLANS DISAPPROVED. Projects for Jamestown Exposition Turned Down by Government. Unfavorable consideration has been given by Secretary J. H. Edwards of the government board for the Jamestown exposition to several projects submitted by a committee from the negro development company organized in connection with the exposition. The committee, which was headed by Giles B. Jackson, a negro lawyer of Richmond, Va., outlined plans for the expenditure of the appropriation of $100,000 made in the closing days of the session of congress for an exhibit of negro development on the American continent. The committee asked that none but members of their race should participate in the design and construction of the building, which is to be erected for the exhibit at a cost of $25,000. In this way a special chance would be given to show what negro architects, masons and bricklayers could do, they thought. The ruling on their proposal was that the government intends to make no discrimination of any of the work done out of its appropriation. The committee also proposed that $11,000 should be expended for bringing a native village from the heart of Africa to serve as a contrast to the state reached by the race in this country. Another portion of the appropriation amounting to $14,000, it was suggested, should be used for charts and text books for negro schools. For the position of disbursing agent of the fund, the committee urged the candidacy of R. T. Hill, negro cashier of the True Reform bank of Richmond. The government board found these projects unacceptable. DEFENDANT8 "WAS" PARTIAL So Declares Colored Candidate for Admission to the Georgia Bar. Alec King, Joseph R. Lamar and J. A. Cronk, three prominent Georgia lawyers, composing the state board of examiners, were Monday made defendants in an action brought in the superior court at Atlanta by J. E. Sistrunk, n negro, who failed in a recent examination for admission to the bar. Sistrunk prays that the board be compelled to turn over the examination papers and his answers to them to Judge Pendleton of the superior court for a review. Sistrunk allegee that the defendants, to use his own grammatical expression, "was partial," refusing to admit him to the bar because he was a black man. He avers that the examination papers "was" properly sealed and delivered to the judge. He says that the defendants "does" him great injury in not recommending him for a license to practice. Host of Girls Go On Strike Twenty-five hundred girls employed in the shirt waist factory of Putemian Bros. & Fagan, at Philadelphia, went on strike Monday because of a number of employees,distasteful to a majority of the girls. SEABOARD HORROR Fast Passenger and Freight in Frightful Crash. OVER SCORE ARE DEAD Report Gives List of Killed As Twenty- ty-Nine and Injured Twenty-Five. Majority of Victims Were Colored Passengers. Twenty-nine persons were killed and twenty-five injured in a head-on collation between a Seaboard Air Lines passenger train and an extra freight train one mile from Hamlet, N. O., Sa- urday night. Nearly all those killed were colored passengers. The known dead are: Engineer F. B. Lewis, of the passenger train; Fireman Tom Hill, colored, of the pass- senger train; negro fireman, name unknown, of the freight; H. S. Byrd, baggage master. Probably twenty- five others unidentified. Railroad men, citizens and the passengers who escaped injury began working heroically to recover the dead and injured imprisoned in the wreckage. Both the second and first-class coaches were overturned, and it is feared that the death list will be sadly augmented before the work of the rescuers is completed. The blame for the wreck has not been placed. The passenger train, it is said, had no orders to meet the freight, and it is the presumption that the freight overlooked its orders. One report ascribes the cause of the wreck to have been a lap order, stating that the passenger train had orders to meet the freight at Hamlet, while the freight's orders were to meet the passenger train at Rockingham. The persons injured in the wreck were sent to Charlotte on a special train. There are five white and eighteen colored, and these were distributed among the Charlotte hospitals. A dispatch received at the Seaboard Air Line general offices stated that 19 bodies and 23 injured persons had been taken from the wreck. The first news of the disaster that reached the headquarters of the road was a brief message about midnight reporting that a wreck had occurred on the Seaboard at Hamlet and that up to the time of the filing of the report the dead extricated from the wreck numbered 19, and the injured as then known reached 23. Train No. 44 is a through train, north bound from Florida to New York, passing through Hamlet, which is a junction joint. LABOR HOSTS ENTER ARENA. "Campaign Program" Issued By Officers of American Federation. cera or American Federation. The executive council of the American Federation of Labor, Sunday, made good its declaration of several months ago to enter the field of politics in the interest of the trade union movement and to exhort all members and friends of organized labor to work for the election to political offices of men known to be favorable to labor's cause. From the headquarters of the federation at Washington the council has issued its "campaign program" addressed "to all organized labor and friends in the United States." BIG STRIKE CALLED OFF. Southern Bell Telephone and Emu physics. Settle Differences. Officials of the Southern Bell Telephone Company announce that the strike of the linemen and wire workers that has been in existence for some weeks, has been called off as a result of a conference held in Atlanta. The strikers were contending for recognition of the union, which Manager Peter Nix states has not been granted by the company. All of the strikers who have not been signally active against the interests of the company during the strike will be reinstated. GO-CART SAVED THE BABY. While Father, Mother and Little Sister Found Watery Grave. By the capsizing of a sailing skiff at Portsmouth, R. I., Sunday, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Anthony and their daughter, aged four years, were drowned, while their baby, aged one year, who was the only other occupant of the boat, was saved. The baby was strapped in a small go-cart, and when the boat capsized the baby floated securely in its go-cart, drifting to the Prudence lighthouse, where the keeper and his wife rescued it. ° Lor, WILLIAMS, Prestiest. ‘ss » wo a Psp WARD PERRY; Vicé Brediagnt 4 > “ . ‘warner shseutryseetan and Tr as, _ The Guaranty Aid and Relief Society © ia - a "gon. oc.

Soci | ocial Unrest... “Ita Origin Found in Human Greed, Not in “Intolerabie Conditions.” ; By a Conservative. . of Soclalism,” H. P. Hough expresses his opinion of the cause of social unrest by asserting that “present industrial conditions haye become intolerable and demand radical treatment. Soclal- ism is offered as a remedy, and ali signs point to its adoption, in whole or in part, in the near future.” . -Mr. Hough and those who share his view of the “present in- tolerable industrial condition” fail utterly in their diagnosis. ‘ Complaints of present conditions come chiefly from the wage earners of the country. Yet thelr arguments are flatly contradicted by the achievements of which labor untonism boasts, and are clearly destroyed by facts which are beyond dental. The industrial conditions of today are far from intolerable. So far as this country is concerned, it Is doubtful if the history of the world shows any period in any nation in which the conditions of the life of the wage earner were sO generally tolerable as ‘hey are In the Unlted States at the present time. In all the departments of our national life there are weaknesses, faults and wide divergence from the {deal, - So {t has ever been and so wil it be untll the millennium; but a dectaration that any of them are intolerable can be made only with a total disregard of facts.. There is widespread discontent and unrest, but it does not spring from the conditions under which the lIlfe of the wage earner is lived. Never before have wage earners been so well fed, so well and so comfortably housed and clothed as they are in the United States today. Never before have the savings of wage earners been so large in amount in their aggregate, or so large per capita, as they are today. Never before has the man who works bulked so big In the control of affairs. The disease for which socialism is offered as a remedy Is imaginary. There is a disease of which discontent, unrest and socialism are symp- toms. It fs a moral disease, and it Is incurable by statutory laws, by schemes for-2,cooperative commonwealth, by shorter days of labor, by Increased wages, _by public ownership or Federal contro! of industries and transportation, or by any other panacea offered by socfalism, Its cause is human greed, envy of those who “have” by those who “have not.” Excited and stimulated by dema- gogues and theorists, this essentially human trait finds its largest expression during a time of prosperity. Out of greed and envy there springs a notion that “those who have” acquired their possessions through gome form of dis- honesty. The recent exposure of some whose wealth has been abtained by questionable or by criminal methods has stimulated this bellef, and the bellef has widened until {t includes alt who ate counted rich. The evil of today exlsts in the hearts of men and not in “intolerable in- dustrial conditions.’ Statutory laws may palliate, 10 scme extent, the condi- tions, but they cannot cure the evil. . Right Thinking a and Self-Control By O. S.

Just assume the calm, deljberate, quiet, balanced composure which characterizes your ideal person in that respect. Persuade yourself that you are not nervous or excitable, that you ¢an control yourself; that you are well balanced; that you do not fly off on a tangent at every little annoyance. You will be amazed to see how the per- petual holding of this serete, calm, qulet attitude will help you to become like your thought.—Success Magaziae, .

But that which makes me doubt the most Those higher powers that humans boast, Is not so much a fault like that, Nor yet her fondness for the cat, But on our pleasant country strolls Hear dull indifference to holes! O if I once had time to spend. To reach a hole's extremest end, I'd grab it fast, without a doubt, And promptly pull it inside out; Then drag it home with all my power To chew on it in a leisure hour. Of all the mistresses there are, Mine is the loveliest by tar,— Fain would I wag myself apart If I could thus reveal my heart. Out on some things, I must con- clude, Mine is the saner attitude. —Burges Johnson, in Harper's Mag- THE DEMON OF THE BED HORROR (Adapted From the Portuguese.) By WILLIAM S. BIRGE. I sat down in the desert with Abderah, the Arab, and the Arab told his tale. An illusive mirage had lured the twain, Abderah and myself, into the very Valley of the Dry Bones, an arid and sandy gorge south of Arabia Deserta. Our throats were dry as vellum with thirst, and Abderah's voice had a husky rattle "It is exactly a year to-day," began Adberah, the prince of his clan, "since Zara, the Beautiful, gave up the ghost, and at every anniversary thereof, I must tell my story or die. I could give no reason," he went on huskily, "no reason, on the cath of a Saracen, why I married the low-born Zara of the desert, of whose parentage I knew nothing, except that she was called Zara, the Beautiful—no reason in the world why I, the prince Abderah, only son of the king, and heir to the kingly domain, should have married the low-born Zara, of whom and whose antecedents nobody knew anything whatsoever, except that she was gifted with strange gifts and had dropped in upon the domain suddenly, as if from another world. "I did not love her; of that fact I am certain. I did not even respect her; of that fact I am equally certain. I hated her with an unaccountable perversity of hatred; of this third fact I am just as certain as of the two preceding. Three very good reasons, why I should not have done what I did. Nevertheless, I did it—did indeed wed her after the manner of my fathers, installing her, devil as she was, in the ancestral palace of an ancient and honorable race of Saracenic kings. "True she was beautiful—strangely beautiful, in her way; but that was no reason why I should have married an adventures. It was exactly because she was beautiful in her way that I hated her. There is a beauty of heaven: it pursues, haunts, breaks like a weird music in all preciot dreams. I have conjured up its phantoms with hashheesh, in opium drowse, through slumbrous nights of calm, opening my eyes again upon earth with a wild wish to die. There is a beauty of earth it is like unto fagots under the caldron of passion, like red wine in the cup, like fitful fever in the blood. It is a glittering and sudden tiger, that fever, that springs upon its prey vehemently, feeding thereupon in the jungle of home. There is a beauty of hell, and it stings while it fascinates—stings scorpion like, fascinating, serpent like, with sinuous, loathsome, derilish fascination. This last was the beauty of Zara, the Beautiful; and it stung me, fascinated me—fascinated me though I hated, mourn me though I loathed. "Now I think of it, I fancy the creature's fascination was in that devilish eye of hers. It was—I recollect it distinctly—it was small, scintillant, and shot sudden, furtive tays at its victim; lurid, without white, and all a single round, devilish pupil; bulbously prominent with livid lids, and almost lashless edges; oddly beautiful, strangely fascinating, intoxicating as the eye of an Hourl. "This was Zara's eye, and it fascinated me with an unnatural fascination. I saw it day and night; and the fever of its sting I mistook for passion, though passion it was not. It was the ain rab that I pursued to an evil destiny. "There is an imp of the perverse," Abderah went on, his words rattling like dry leaves in his parched throat, "an imp of the perverse, which has more hand in human affairs than humanity in general would be willing to acknowledge. "It is the logical basis of all tragedy, theprompter of all suicide, the demon of all that is terribly inexplicable, as well as of all that is absurdly comical in human action. In its play it is comedy, and you laugh; in its serious moods it is tragedy, often so original, so motiveless, so apparently put of mere whim, that you stare haggard with horror, yet fascinated as you stare. It is either a Puck or a Mephistopheles latent in in every human heart—either dancing baboon or omnivorous hyena, as may suit the whim of the hour. "Have you ever been tempted to swallow poison simply because you knew it would kill you, and for no other reason? Have you never been taken with an almost uncontrollable impulse to hurl yourself from a precipice simply because you must not, and because you must not, therefore, you would? Have you never done this or that, done it suddenly, motivesely, involuntarily, simply because you did not wish and would not have done it for all the world? Have you never pursued a pet project, toiled ceaselessly day and night unto an end, only to spurn it with your foot at the instant of realization, simply because so to spurn it was to splite yourself utterly? Have you never ascended to dizzy heights and kicked away the ladder at the last moment just because it might prevent all human succor, because, in a word, for that very reason you did it? If you have not you are more or less than human. And this imp of the perverse the presence of some people seems to enrage even to demoniac desperation, while, in the presence of others, it slumbers, at least comparatively. "In this lies the secret of my espousal of Zara of the desert. I did not love her; did not even respect her; wedded her, nevertheless, not because I willed to wed her involuntarily, but because, with an uncontrollable perversity, I was impelled to wed her against my will. A paradox, to be sure—but then man is a paradox, the one wing of which is human, and the other devil. So paradox let it be. She stung the imp of the perverse, the latent devil in me, into horrible activity; and, for the time, quite against my will. I did, with seeming deliberation, exactly what I would not have done for my soul. "There was one other peculiarity about Zara, the Beautiful, which has had some hand in convincing me of a certain non-humanity on her part. There is about every person, humanly considered, a certain atmospheric something, a personal aroma, so to speak, which is inseparable from the notion of presence; and if your sense of odor is acute, you will be able to detect a certain individuality of something akin to perfume. a sort of odorless perfume of violets to the oppressive, oozy atmosphere of the upas, are just as indicative of personal idiosyncrasies as appearance and manner may be supposed to be. "About the creature that I wedded there was nothing of this kind. Cool, aromaless, bloodlessly cadaverous, the secret of her fascination was located in something akin to metallic glitter of presence—akin to the writhing, glittering crawl of the adder, akin to the hacking inhumanity of the laughter of a parrot. "A mask of a woman, merely." Abderah continued, the words rattling from his throat with accurately-pointed and terrible vehemence; "a mask of a woman, merely a devilish domino. I wedded the low-born Zara' of the desert, who came and went at whim, as one having no home upon the earth; and for a brief year only she queened it, the gayest of the gay, the merriest of the merry, the profanest of the profane. It was a ghastly day, the day that I led her to the palace of my race, a day ominous of pestilence and of sudden and epidemic death. Lurid and terrible wonders were in the heavens, like those which have lured our feet into the Valley of the Dry Bones; and stifling and hyena-like siroccos pursued the travellers of the desert with devilish instinct, throttling them while caravans together. Even from the day thereof died my people in ghastly scores, and on the forehead of every one that died was branded a livid blot in the exact shape of a human heart. My father died suddenly, and first of all, the red horror of the brand from temple temple to temple. Zara had no grief at the old man's death. The epidemic, swift-footed and terrible, went abroad among my people. Zara was oppressively merry; and still as faster they died, merrier and merrier yet became the laughter of the queen, until I was likely at last to reign over a vast necropolis. She absented herself for days from the palace, and night unto night I was startled from horrible dreams of the red brand, to find her absent from the camera diletto. And still the epidemic death baffled all skill, and the red brand crawled suddenly upon all foreheads, and was the horror of all hearts. "I too, became weak, but Zara only laughed mockingly, and absented herself the more from the palace, waxing the more horribly merry the ghastilier I became. "I dreamed fitfully, and in the horror of my dream the loathsome brand of the red heart, the hideous seal of the epidemle death, was upon my forehead. I awoke, and the queen was not at my side. I heard a gnashing of horrible teeth. I sprang up. I struck a light. I was too quick for her. Great God. She was feeding upon a human heart. "It has been a year to a day, and still the same lurid and ghastly wonders were in the heavens. "Thou has outwitted me, for I would have queened ever it a metropolis of the dead. Thou hast, indeed, triumphed in life," said Zara, dynig, 'in but death would I have gnawed thy heart.' "So, she died, and the demon of the red horror and the imp of the epidemic death slumbered, and the livid blot in the heavens went out with the closing of her devilish eye." —Waverley Magazin. The Seventeenth Annual Session of the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias, and the Annual Session of the Grand Court Independent Order of Calanthe, took place in Macon on Tuesday, July 10th, and continued to Thursday night. During the preceding day, night and morning of the opening day, large delegations from various parts of the state arrived and added rest to the occasion. Tuesday morning Grand Chancellor Charles D. Creswell called the Grand Lodge to order at the Cotton Avenue A, M. E. Church, Rev. H., D. Candy, pastor. After the announcement of committees, etc., the doors were thrown open and the Calanthes and citizenzns were allowed to enter and listen to the very interesting opening exercises, which were carried on according to the program, as published. On this occasion the addresses were able and well received. The committee on credentials was in session nearly the entire day, and only completed their work in part when the Grand Lodge convened at night. The parade was held in the afternoon, and it was one that will be long remembered in Macon. The several companies showed up well and marched excellently. The Savannah contingent showed up well. Major Bacon, at the head of his battalion; Col. C. G. Jordan, on his prancing steed; Capts. Golden, Davis and Andrews, with their soldierly looking men, made all Savannahans feel proud of them and added to their standing. Tuesday night the Grand Lodge held a session, at which the committee on credentials reported and the past chancellor's degree was conferred on a large number of Sir Knights. The session was lively from opening to closing. Many reforms were made and laws enacted, beneficial to the order. The committee on laws and supervision acted well their part and fathered much reform. One of the greatest changes was the divorcing of the offices of Grand Master of Exchequer and Secretary and Treasurer of the Endowment Board. Col. F. M. Cohen has held this position for several years to the satisfaction of the entire Knighthood. He was elected as Secretary and Treasurer of the Endowment Board. As Master of Exchequer, Sir Knight Charles H. McCarthy of Albany was elected; his election was unanimous, and a just tribute to this gallant Knight. He is beloved by all who know him. He is conservative, true and noble-hearted, and will lend lustre to the position and Grand Lodge. The Grand Lodge honored itself in honoring Sir Knight Charles A. Clark of Brunswick in electing him as Grand Lecturer. This position was unsought by him, but was presented to him by his loyal friends—and thus it should be. Sir Clark had four opponents, but he received a flattering majority over them all, and was graciously elected unanimously. He is one of the most popular members of the Grand Lodge, and the Sir Knights do not stint him in giving the honors either. One of the acts that met the hearty approval of the Savannah delegation and hosts of Knights was the recommendation given that loyal Knight, Geo. S. Williams, for supreme honors. This honor is merited by Sir Williams and his true friends were determined that he should have it. He is a true Knight, in principle and in deed. His standing in this community is unquestioned. He is one of our strongest young men, one who is solving whatever there may be of the race problem by acquiring property, husbanding his means and doing other things for race uplift. He has one of the cozest homes in the city, and a help-mate that can grace the finest castle. Some time ago we predicted higher honors for "Our George," and this is only a beginning. The re-election of Grand Chancellor Cresswill met hearty approval. There was not a ghost of a chance for his opponent. "Charley," as he is called by the boys, is conscientious in the discharge of his duties and is doing much for the uplift of the Order. The more that one knows of this loyal Knight the better he can be appreciated. "Boss" Warren, the genial Grand Keeper of Records and Seal, is the most popular man in the Grand Lodge. His re-election is never questioned. He holds his office down to perfection. Sir G. R. Hutto, as Grand Vice Chancellor, was easily re-elected. He has a large number of good friends who always stick to him. The prize drill of the Uniform Rank took place at Central City The prize drill of the Uniform Rank took place at Central City Park on Wednesday afternoon. Savannah won several prizes. The Grand Lodge closed on Thursday morning to convene next year in Augusta. Thursday morning the Grand Court convened. It was presided over by Mrs. R. L. Barnes, Grand Worthy Counsellor, who has held this position for several terms. When Mrs. Barnes took hold of it, the membership was small, the Courts few, and the finances at a low ebb. She entered into the work with vim and vigor, and today the Courts are many, the membership in the thousands, likewise the dollars. Mrs. Barnes holds a place in the hearts of her members that is hard to be erased. She is beloved by them all, and it is useless for any one to aspire to her place as long as she wants it. All of the old officers were re-elected. The delegates and visitors were on a constant go from the time Macon was reached until leaving time. Several social functions were given in honor of guests, and apology for not attending several had to be extended by us. any definite opinion at all, as to how it really ought to be distributed. These opinions may, however, be reduced to three fundamentally distinct theories, which I shall call the aristocratic, the socialistic, and the democratic, or liberalistic, theories. The aristocratic theory is that the good things of the world belong more particularly to certain groups or classes than to others, by virtue of some circumstance connected with their birth or heredity, and independently of their individual achievements. The socialistic theory is that wealth ought to be distributed according to needs, or according to some similar plan arranged beforehand, and independently of the individual ability to acquire wealth in the rough-and-ready struggle of life. The democratic, or liberalistic, theory is that wealth ought to be distributed according to productivity usefulness or worth. There are two widely different notions as to what constitutes a wide diffusion of wealth. One is that the ownership of the productive wealth should be concentrated in the hands of the state, and administered by public officials, only the consumable goods being diffused. This is the socialistic ideal. The other is that the ownership of the productive wealth itself should be widely diffused. If this were the case, the consumable wealth also would of necessity be widely diffused. This is the democratic, or liberalistic, ideal. It is the belief of the liberal school that this system gives greater plasticity and adaptability to the industrial system than any other. Certain socialistic writers have, however, assumed that this ideal is unattainable, and that we are really between the devil of plutocracy and the deep sea of socialism. Let us not thus despair of the republic. Once upon a time a man placed a heavy load upon the back of his camel, and then asked the beast whether he preferred going up hill or down, to which the camel replied, "Is the level read across the plain closed?"—The Atlantic. When you want JOB PRINTING Call on us. We do all kinds of Printing at Reasonable Pricea. GOOD ROADS. THE PUBLIC ROAD AGITATION. The public road question is as old as civilization. How to solve it has pestered the mind of man ever since the first wheeled vehicle was invented and the necessity of communication appeared. Organized society has faced the problem always, and nowhere has it been successfully met except in those countries where road building has been recognized as function of government. The people of the United States have suffered more actual loss perhaps from bad roads than any other or all causes, if we compute the losses in dollars and cents. This says nothing of the physical and social discomforts, the drawbacks to progress and the hindrance to education and the spread of the Christian religion. No other civilized people would have tolerated the deplorable conditions that we have here half so long as our people have tolerated them, and no other people would have complacently viewed the prodigal use of the public money for every other enterprise while the government they sustained went utterly to sleep as regals this momentous question of better roads. The time has at last arrived when something must be done, and the awakening is here that, must result in great good to every department of American life. All over the country the demand is growing for national aid to highway construction along the line of the Brownlow-Latimer bill. States that have failed because of inability to build systematic roads are cager to meet the general government half way, and the moment the policy is entered upon will be the ushering moment of the greatest era of prosperity and happiness the country has ever known. The sentiment is abroad that Congressional candidates will this year discuss the subject with the people, and it is not hard to see what will be the result. The question is believed to have gone beyond the point of argument. The necessity for road improvement is too plain to require elaboration. The method of reaching a solution seems to be national aid, and public feeling has been focusing to this until now the people will only be satisfied with its adoption as a Government policy Supervisors and Good Roads. The agitation for road improvement in New York State has already gone over a period of twenty years, and has been urged by various classes in the interest of the bicycle, the drivers of the four-In-hand coaches, and the users of automobiles, but nothing of a practical nature was accomplished until State Engineer Bond called delegates from all the boards of supervisors throughout the State together in Albany in January, 1899, to consider the road question from the supervisor's point of view. These conventions have been six in number, and the delegates have changed each year, being representative men from each county who have seriously considered the question of road improvement and the cost as it applied to their particular locality. At the first convention there were about seventy delegates; at all of the others there have been from three hundred to four hundred men, and these men, acting through their executive committees, have advised together each year on what to do in regard to outlining a State policy for the construction and maintenance of roads. During the last four years the delegates at these conventions have asked almost unanimously for a bond issue on the part of the State large enough to improve one mile in ten of all the miles of highway in the State, and amend the constitution so as to permit of a $50,000,000 bond issue, the money from which is to be equitably proportioned to each county, so that by the spending of $5,000,000 a year the State can receive equitable development during a period of ten years. The steps at the convention have been carefully taken and approved, and reapproved from year to year. In many parts of the State the question of the bond issue and road improvement is not understood, as it should be. Wherever it is understood, the people are not afraid of the cost, or the increased burden in taxes in excess of the benefits received.—New York Tribune. W To Use Confict Labor. The Good Roads Association of Minneapolis has gone on record as favoring the use of convict labor in the work of improving the roads throughout the State. Experimenting in Iowa. The Iowa Legislature has wisely appropriated $7000 for good roads experimentation. State aid is, the "good road" that leads toward judicious national aid. Chocolat, Dean of Paris Cab Horses. The oldest cab horse in Paris, Chocolat, does easily his ten hours a day. He has trotted fifteen years, while most of his comrades have no good after four or five years' work.

There are now about 3000 motor cars and over 1850 motor cycles in London. KNIGHTS OF CALANTHE MEET. By T. N. Carver. HY there should be hard-working poor men and idle rich men in the same community is a question which no one has answered, and no one can answer satisfactorily. That is why the opinion is so prevalent that the world, economically considered, is so very much out of joint. But although there is so much unanimity in the opinion that wealth ought not to be distributed as it now is, there is still a wide diversity of opinion, where there is HOUSEHOLD MATTERS For Blackened Saucepans. A hint as to an easy method of preventing the blackening of saucepans may not come amiss at this time when so many are planning their annual sojourn at shore or mountains where gas stoves are so often a minus quantity. Before using the utensil rub over with fat and afterwards wash with hot water and soda. Fireless Cooking. Fireless cookers are now on the market, and it is hoped that American women will be quick to see the advantage of this invention, which is used largely in Germany, and is being introduced into the United States army. The cooker is simply a chest, thirty-six inches long and twenty-seven inches deep. It is lined with thick felt and is fitted with granite cooking utensils, with the tightest of covers. There are three compartments, and an entire dinner can be cooked at the same time. The food is brought to the boiling point, put in the chest with the lids secured, the chest is closed, and the housekeeper goes to her club or shopping with an easy mind. Disinfectants and Deodorants. I have frequently been obliged to seat a hasty retreat from a house placarded for a contagious disease because the mother was burning sulphur on the stove, as a disinfectant, which, although it could not possibly kill any germ, made the air suffocating to breathe, writes Dr. Herbert C. Emerson in Good Housekeeping. I have seen a woman using such a strong solution, supposed to be a disinfectant, in scrubbing the woodwork of a slickroom, that she had taken off all the paint down to the wood. It may be well to point out the difference between a disinfectant and a deodorant; while a disinfectant kills germs, a deodorant destroys odors, and has no power to kill germs. A deodorant is sometimes needed, but, it must not be used with the idea that is a germicide also. Charcoal is a good example of a deodorant, and whitewash has both deodorizing and disinfecting power. Many of the so-called disinfectants are very weak in germkilling power, and are simply deodorants. Cleanliness is the foremost agency in destroying disease germs. It should be constantly practiced from the beginning to the end of an illness. The mere act of cleansing destroys many germs, while scrubbing and mopping remove many more. The processes are an efficient disinfectant in another way, because they remove dirt in which germs may find their nourishment and food for growth. Good soap and water cleaning should never be forgotten. Dry dusting should be done with great care in a sick room, and that abominations of brooms, the feather duster, should be excluded not only from the sick room but from every house. Sunlight is a very valuable destroyer of bacterial life, and its importance cannot be overestimated. It is not always available but it should be used much more than it is, both for the sick room and many household objects that may be infected. Many bacteria die out for want of moisture upon which they depend for living and growing. Damp, dirty corners are the ablending places of germs, but dry, clean, well-aired and sunlit rooms put many obstacles in the way of their development. FOR THE EPICURE Swau Pudding—Half a box gelatine dissolved in one pint of warm water. When cool add three-quarters pound sugar and the whites of two eggs and juice of two lemons; beat all together with an egg beater until stiff; put it in the dish in which it is to be served, and set on ice or in a cool place. To be eaten with soft custard. Rice With Cabbage—Boll separately well-washed Carolina rice and a small spring cabbage. Drain the cabbage and cut into tiny pieces. Mix with it the drained rice, and add an ounce of butter, salt and black pepper. A little cream and a tablespoonful of Parmesan cheese may also be added, and will be liked. Stir over the fire until quite hot. Serve with croutons of fried bread. Honey Cake—Soften a cup of butter and mix with it two cupfuls of strained honey, a tablespoonful of ginger, half a grated nutmeg, a little of the yellow rind of lemon grated and a small quantity of flour. Dissolve a heaping teaspoonful of soda in a cup of water and strain into the mixture, then add more sifted flour until stiff enough to roll out. Bake in a sheet like gingerbread, and eat cold or hot. `Minute Pudding`—This is very cheap and very palatable. Put one quart of milk or water on the stove and heat until it boils, add one teaspoonful of salt. Stir flour into this until it becomes as thick as mush, stirring constantly while adding flour. Serve with milk or cream into which nutmeg has been grated, or with a sauce made as follows: One cupful sugar, one-half cup butter, four tablespoons' flour, flavor with nutmeg or vanilla and if dark sauce is liked use brown sugar instead of white.

THE police are the czars of Savannah. They even beat prisoners in the study to extort confession. THE passing of Russel Sage removes from the public life another financial giant. His was the proverbial hard path from poverty to wealth. At Warm Springs, Ga., last Wednesday, President Hammond speaking before the Georgia Bar Association, declared the plan to disfranchise Negroes was unconstitutional. THE Georgia Baptist man is busy just now, reminding his subscribers and the public in general that it takes money to publish a newspaper. Even in the case of marriages, he declares, everybody receives pay but the newpaper man, who is expected to "write up" a column or more and publish it free. This is a timely reminder. It ought to be a matter of interest to us that the jury of the Salon des Artistes Francais, Paris, has awarded a second class medal to Henry O. Turner, son of Bishop Turner of the A.M. E. Church. Though lame, artist Turner has shown to the world what a Negro may achieve in art. His paintings may be seen in several noted galleries in this country and abroad. AFTER investigating the charges, the New England Conference of the A.M. E. Church acquitted Rev. Reverdy C. Ransom, and Bishop Turner re-appointed him to the pulpit of Charles street church, Boston. Resolutions were passed urging Congress to refuse militia appropriations for those states which have disbanded colored companies or refused them organization. The Conference met in Providence, R. L. The Springfield, Mass., Republican commenting on Secretary Taft's recent speech before the Republicans of North Carolina, says: Secretary Taft receives a rebuff for his pains in going to North Carolina to counsel Republicans there on how to build up a Southern Republican party. The party convention he addressed finally adopted a resolution calling upon the Legislature to submit the question whether, the so-called grandfather clause of the constitution should not be extended until 1920. It is under that clause that the Negroes have been disfranchised while illiterate whites have retained the right to vote. The clause as it now stands expires in 1908, after which Negroes and new white voters are nominally at least placed upon the same footing—those of both races who can read and write being admitted to the franchise and the illiterate of both races being excluded. What the North Carolina, Republicans thus demand is a continued disfranchisement of the Negro, contrary to the provisions of the 15th amendment. The Democrats have taken no such action as yet and so the Republicans appear as more hostile to the Negro and more hostile to the national Republican constitutional amendments than the Democrats? How will this strike President Roosevelt? Is such a Southern Republican party as that to have his encouragement? The men who have been working for the firm of Smith and Kelley, for the last number of years, made a request some time ago for an increase in pay. This was denied and they recently went out on a strike; they did so in orderly manner. Numerous methods have been adopted to intimidate them and compel them to return to work, but without effect. The first was the calling out of the troops, for which there was no cause whatever. The final action is the order given the police to arrest vagrants. None of this can intimidate the men who should hold out for their just demands The citizens should aid those men in their fight for higher wages, and THE TRIBUNE takes great pleasure in encouraging them to do so. DURING the week the police were given stringent orders to arrest vagrants, and scores of innocent ones have been the sufferers. The police is to be commended for getting rid of the loafers, but when they go further than that, then all good citizens should enter stern protest. A case was cited where a colored citizen was arrested as a vagrant while quietly sitting in his house. The only charge against him was that he was a "striker" and it seems that the only real reason for the vagrant order was to force the strikers to return to work. Another displeasing feature of this affair was the refusal of the authorities to accept cash bond for four of the accused. The bond required was two hundred dollars each and a substantial citizen offered eight hundred dollars in cash for the four accused, but was refused. This shows the animus of those in authority. The people are against the methods used by the police and will turn them out next January. Public Library. It is very gratifying to note the interest taken in the colore Public Library, which is now open at the corner of Price and Hartridge Sts. The city makes an appropriation each month towards the maintenance of the library, but at the same time what the city gives is governed entirely by the people themselves and the financial support given. The public is cordially invited to visit the rooms and to make use of the privileges there extended them. The daily papers and, the various periodicals and magazines will be at their disposal in the library. The hours during which the library is open are as follows: 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., 5 to 9 p.m. week days. 9 to 11 a.m., 4:30 to 7:30 p.m., on Sundays. Men's Sunday Club. Last Sunday before an enthused audience, President B. F. Allen of Lincoln Institute delivered one of the ablest addresses ever heard at the Club- Pres. Allen was at his best and held the audience spell-bound by reason of his beautiful, well-prepared, and timely paper. He spoke on what the educated Negro should render to less fortunate brother. We were doubly proud of the address because it came from one of the Savannah men who are making a great name in this country. We are indeed sorry that President Allen's stay was so short, but delighted to have him here for a few days. The Club was also favored with a lively, spirited talk by Mr. H. A. Boyd of Nashville, Tenn Mr. Boyd spoke on the National Baptist Publishing Co. Tuesday night the last number of the lecture course was rendered at the Masonic Temple. Mr. Clark of New York gave a vocal recital which was very pleasing. Mr. Clark has a wonderful bass voice with a wide range. He was assisted by local talent Second Baptist Church. Pastor May was one of the passengers on board the Clayton that grounded upon its return from Lacy, Ga., and was "lost" a night and day. He reported that an excellent meeting and paid glowing tribute to pastor Thomas and people of Harris Neck. Mrs. Mayme E. May spent a delightful visiting season in the space of her husband's stay at the Association. Pastor's subject for to-morrow 11:15 a.m. "Godly works not understood when they transpire;" 8:30 p.m. "The fearful deception and doom of liars." All invited Listen for the big rally soon that is to be inaugurated. St. Philins Dots. Rev. Lindsay's sermon on Sunday was full of spiritual food. Every one who attends these services can not help but say it is good to be at the house of the Lord and get our spiritual strength renewed. Rev. Lindsay and Prof. B.S. Read, our chorister, left for Claxton, Ga., on Wednesday to be in attendance at the West Savannah District Sunday School Convention of which St. Philips Sunday School is a member. Our Sunday School excursion and picnic at Daufuskie on Tuesday was quite a success and the manager, Mr. A. W. White, and his committee deserve much credit for their work. Next Friday will be love feast. The following services will be held on tomorrow: Prayer meeting, 5:30 a. m.; preaching at 11 a. m.; Sunday School at 3:30 p. m.; Allen League at 4:30 p. m.; preaching at 8:30 p. m. Bethlehem Baptist Church The Bethlehem Baptist Church services were well attended on last Sunday. The pastor preached at 11 o'clock, subject, "Jesus teaching how to pray." All who were present enjoyed the message delivered. At 8:30 p. m. Rev, Clark preached an able sermon, leaving an everlasting impression upon the hearts of the people.

Who entered into the rest of Paradise in Clinton, Iowa, July 23, 1905, at 6:30 p. m. THERE IS NO DEATH. There is no death, the stars go down To rise upon some fairer shore, And in Heaven's jeweled crown They shine forevermore. There is no death an angel form Walk o'er earth with silent tread, He bears our best loved ones away, And then we call them dead. He leaves our hearts all desolate, He plucks our fairest sweetest flowers. Transplanted into bliss, they now Adorn immortal bowers. Were'er he sees a smile too bright, Or heart too pure for taint and vice. He bears it to that world of light, To dwell in Paradise. And ever near us, though unseen, The dear immortal spirits tread, For all the boundless universe Is life—there are no dead. His Devoted Wife, Frances Cornelia McNeil. It's but one year, one sad short year, It still it seems but yesternight When we were bowed in deepest grief While our Fred's soul took its flight, Yes it flew, and was 'borne on angles' wings. Down at our Savior's feet, And now he is happy in Paradise, For his work is all complete. He left his love ones gladly, Not dreading the mystery, deep, But fell sweetly asleep in "Jesus" So why do we mourn and weep. To know him was to love him, To see him was to praise. His noble form his pleasant words, Jovial, and kind always. How we miss him none can tell. "Lord" grant us grace to bow "To Thee" who doeth all things well, Forevermore and now. His troubles are all over, His victory is won. Lord Jesus, we will humbly bow And say, thy will be done. L. C. G. ROBT, H. LANGLEY, Died July 28, 1905. One year ago today the angel death visited our home and took from our midst a loving husband and a devoted father. A precious one from us is gone, A voice we loved is still, A place is vacant in our home, Which never can be filled. God in his wisdom has recalled The boon his love has given, And though the body slumbers here, His soul is at rest in heaven. Thine is eternal rest. Thy toils and cares are over; Sickness, pain and suffering now Shall never be felt anymore. Wife and children. In memory of HARRY LARK. 'Tis hard to break the tender cord, When love has bound the heart; 'Tis hard, so hard, to speak the word, Must we forever part. Dearest loved one, we have laid thee In the peaceful grave's embrace. But thy memory will be cherished, 'Til we see thy heavenly face. Brother and wife. Lost. Lost. Lost! 2 golden hours somewhere between sun-rise and sun-set, each filled with 60 diamond seconds.

Taking Dent corn for the purpose, It is scored as follows: igor of plants, twenty poluts; po- sition of ear, 6 points; welght of ear, 50 points; length of ear, five points; uniformity of plant and ear, -10 points, and shape of kernel and size of germ, ten points. Very im- portant {s the note which gives the Allsqualifications, as plants growing under Jess than normal stand; plants dying upon the ground or badly brok- -en; plants diseased; plants maturing too late or too early. To select the seed corn from such plants ts fatal to the following crop. The vigor of the plant is indicated by the cireum- ference of the stalk below the ear; by-its upward growth and by its leaf development and freedém from dis- ease. Tho ideal position of the ear is such that {t does not pull too heay- fly upon the plant. Tho weight of the ear is to be determined by scales -when the ear is thoroughly dry. The plan of uniformity of plant and car ig based on the habit of growth and vigor of plant as well as size, shape, olor and indentation of ear.

Referring to the fact that many trees die while yet in thelr prime, a ‘writer asserts that it is simply a ‘matter of starvation—soll exhaus- Hon. The land hes produced the trees, also follage and fruit, year after year, for a period of ten, twen- ty, thirty, forty or fitty years, often called upon to produce a cereal crop as well, and in many cases with lit- fle or no return of fertilizing ele- ments to the soll aside from those which nature supplies. What won- der that the soll has become poverty stricken, and is no Ipnger zble to bear the ,strain? | No reasonable man should expect’ the soll to pro- dace one crop, year after year, for a generation, and in regard to cereal ,etops there are a few who do, yet ‘many seem to expect to gather frult from generation to generation with- out making any return to the soil, If we cultivate the land during the summer to retain the moisture for the use of the trees, and in August or early September sow some cove crop, Uke oats or rye, to protect the soll during the following _ winter, and be turned under fn the spring ‘to supply humus, we should seo dlf- ferent results. A good application.of ‘wood ashes would also be profitablo ‘where they can be secured at-reason- able rates. It is ‘also probable that certain grades of commercial fertil- 4zers would yield good retarns in dollars and cents. In some manner ‘the sofl of our orchards must be fed, and through it food suppHed to the trees, or they must cease to produce profitable fruit and indeed soon cease to exist at-all, It is with the orchard as with other parts of the farm, it must be fed or the husbandman must soon cease to partake of the fruit thereof. The Way to Raise Colts. Rearing 2 filly which is just as good as she looks, can scarce ty be done except by.a genuine lover of horseflesh, Stella, the subject of the article, was foaled April 4, 1906, and was a largd colt at birth. ‘Her sire is a well bred and well built Percheron, whose colts are greatly in reqnest at good prices, and his sire was an Imported horse,-yhose cits were remakable for stability and en- durance. The colt’s dam is young, not pure bred, but a good road horse of pleasant disposition and good ‘size, and she proved 2 good mother, ‘Stella being her first colt. “ The youngsjer had‘no serious setbacks and never ceased to grow as long as I owned her. She was like a baby to tha whole fathily, petted and ca- Teseed and fe0 salt and sugar from our hands, yet she never contracted a viefous habit, nor had tricks which were annoying. If her future train- ing ia as kind as that which she re- eelveA whilé I owned her she will make the much quoted “kind family horse.” I sold her at seven months ‘old. She began taking a nibble from her mother’s grati fox wher. sho was very young. Later she had a little box of her ‘own, where sho found a light ration of bran and oats, Salt wae always within easy reach, and water when she cared for tt, The work' horses mado a pet of her and she Tan in ‘pasture with them in perfect safety, or, when all the horses were working, she went to pasture with my hdrnless dairy cows, and neither sho nor they suf- fered from the association. Colt rais- ing Js a little risky and coukd not be included in a woman's farm unless there was a man who could be trust- ed fully; but with good fences and patient, painstaking care it yields a rather better profit than cattle raising, except where one has regis- tered stock; and the chances of real- ly good sales of pure bred catéle are small alee one shows them at the great exhibitions, which is very ex- pensive advertising for women farm- ers. Young horses of good size, com- mand good prices and are always in demand. Breeding from vicious par- ents will rarely give the sort of horses which the majoritf. like.

Church, St. James place and Lafayette avenue, preached Sunday morning on the subject, "The Secret of Peace," a study of the Shepherd Psalm. Dr. Dowling sald: Thirty centuries ago there lived in Palestine a king, who in his boyhood had been a shepherd lad. And in his old age, when he had seen life, with its sorrows and its joys, this king, David, sang a song, which it takes less than two minutes deliberately to repeat. Three thousand years have gone since then; and to-day everything he owned has turned to dust except his songs. The throne on which he sat—dust; the palace where he dwelt—dust; the harp which his fingers were accustomed to sweep, the hanner with which he led the hosts of Israel, his chariots, and his charletoes—all dust! But to-day that song goes singing its way to the universal heart, in the cottage of the poor and the mansion of the rich, in the home of the learned and of the unlearned, because it sings of what all the world is hungering for—peace. When Edward Irving swept through the gates it was with this song upon his lips. Luther called it the "Little Bible," and so it is, for it contains in miniature the whole book. Henry Ward Beecher, who once made Brooklyn famous, that greatest preacher the world has ever known since Paul stood on Mars Hill, called it "the nightingale's song," because it sings to us in the darkness. Listen while I repeat it to you, that it may once again sing its way into your heart. (Dr. Dowling here repeated deliberately the Twenty-third Psalm.) Now I yield Him not simply admiration, but adoration. It is the difference between "He leadeth," and "He leadeth me." If you would know what God may be to you, learn to appropriate Him. Learn to think of Him simply not as a God, but your God; not simply as a friend, but your friend; not simply as a shepherd, but your shepherd. Now, when you receive a gift there are three things which you do with it. You accept it, you examine it, and you use it. And the gift which this royal shepherd poet of three thousand years ago makes to us in this Shepherd Psalm may prove more precious to you than any which you have ever received, if you deal with it in just that way; the way of appropriation, of appreciation and of application. As you notice how very easy it is to appropriate it, because it abounds with those personal and possessive pronouns, in which, Martin Luther said, the preciousness of the Bible consists: "The Lord is my shepherd." "He leadeth me." "Yea, though I walk through the valley." What a great difference there is between the mere apprehension of a fact and the appropriation of that fact, between knowing it and claiming it. When you see a child in a runway, you are moved; but suppose it is your child. There is the same difference that there is between the stately mansion of a stranger and the little cottage in which your mother rocked you in her arms and crooned to you the songs of your babyhod. So, my friends, you never can judge of a religion until it has been transmuted into a personal experience, until it has become your religion. A historical Christ is, at the most, only a Christ. I can look upon Him with admiration. Ah! but when He has become mine, and I have heard His voice, and felt His touch, He is no longer simply a Christ but the Christ. And then, when you have appropriated this psalm, seek to appreciate it. Notice, to begin with, the perfect spirit of trust which breathes through it all. See how much it has to say about Him and how little about ourselves. Mark how every verse tells us what He is doing. My dear people, that is the whole secret. The secret of peace is the putting of God between our troubles and ourselves. I know the dark hours which have come into some of your lives; I know your perplexities; for though you are strangers to me as yet, the experience of human hearty is just the same the whole world over, and the joys and the sorrows of the men and women whom I learned so well to know and to love on the Pacific shores are just the joys and the sorrows which you are having today. I know of the hour when some young mother in this congregation sat sobbing by the side of her little one, whispering blindly, "I do not know why she should be taken from me; I cannot understand it." Well, my dear child, do not try to understand it, for you never can here. Some day I shall preach to you on "Things to be Waited For," and one of the things to be waited for is the understanding of these mysteries of life. And yet we may know that while we are waiting we may be waiting in companionship with Him who understands it all. And there is no other help for us in our dark hours, except in placing Him between our troubles and ourselves. Wilbur Chapman tells us of a little drummer boy in our civil war who was taken into the hospital mortally wounded, and so they sent for his mother from a distant city. But when she came they sald to her, "You cannot go in; he's too sick; he couldn't stand the shock." And so she stood by the door waiting and weeping and listening. And when she heard him sigh, she said to them, "Let me go in; I won't speak to him. I'll just sit by his hedside." And so they permitted her to pass quietly into the darkened room and sit beside him. But as she sat there the mother love was too strong, and, reaching out her hand, she laid it gently upon his aching forehead. He did not open his eyes, but he knew that touch. She saw his lips move, and, stooping down to him, she heard him say: "I knew you'd come to me; I knew you'd come to me." And if you are, only willing to welcome Him who loves you more than you ever loved your little one, you may know that He will come to you, and "as one whom his mother comforteth," so will He comfort you. And notice the blessings which he brings when He comes. As David expresses it in this psalm, "they that belong to Him shall find that their cup 'overfloweth'"; not only abundance, but redundance. It has sometimes seemed as though there were a mixture of figures here, and that as the psalmist neared the end of his song the scene changed from the open fields of the flock to the guarded household of the guest. But this is not so. One of the most important duties of the shepherd is to find a feeding place for his sheep, where they shall not be injured by poisonous herbs, and where he may defend them against the jackals and the wolves that prowl around. Our Shepherd will protect us and provide for our wants, not only in the seclusion of the fold, but while we are still, if need be, out in the world. And so-David, sings, "Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies." Then follows the closing scene of the day. The sun is setting, and the flock is being brought home. But some of them have been wounded, and some of them are weary. And so the shepherd stands at the door of the shepherd, rodding the sheep, as it is termed; holding them back with his rod, permitting them to enter one by one. Here one has been bruised or torn by the briars, and from the horn filled with olive oil he bathes the wounded head. And one is tired and worn, and, dipping into the vessel the large two-handled cup, he gives him a drink. Thus the shepherd cares for his sheep clear on till the very hour of the homecoming. Nothing is forgotten. And so the psalmist sings, still with the picture of the shepherd in his mind, "Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over." But I am anticipating. "The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want." What? Rest. "He makeeth me to lie down in green pastures." But the green pastures have to come first. There is the contemplative life, and the active life. And, my brethren, we need the first; that is the meaning of these services; that is the meaning of Sunday; that is the meaning of Lent. It is a mistake for us to suppose that we can get on in the right life without these green pasture experiences. Somebody says, "judge of a man by what he does." Yes; but what a man does grows out of what that man is. And here in these contemplative hours we find Christian manhood and womanhood in the making. And then, there is the leadership: "I shall not want"—guidance; "He leadeth me." That is the other side of the Christian experience; the active side. The purpose of these green pastures is to send us forth to use the strength which here we get. And in this leadership of His there are two facts which I would have you remember. He goes before us; "He leadeth." He will select no path which his sheep cannot travel. But remember also that the sheep must follow after: we must select no path which He cannot travel. "He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness," not always by the side of still waters, not always in green pastures—sometimes the sheep track may lie across the wilderness; but if we are following him we may know that they are always "paths of righteousness"—right paths, and that they lead toward home. And finally, "I shall not want" companionship. "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me." He who is following the Master shall find death itself only a shadow; and who shall be afraid of a shadow? And though the valley may be there and the darkness, He shall lead us out, as He leads us in. Death is not a blind pocket; It is not a place of tarrying, only of transition. I shall walk "through the valley of the shadow of death." And now, having appropriated this psalm, having sought to appreciate it, let us try to apply it. I mean to-day, here and now, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, every day. For you observe that until we reach the very last verse it is all in the present tense. He is not speaking of any distant elysium, far away in the future. "The Lord is my shepherd; he maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still waters." All the blessings which I have described may be yours now. Will you take them for yours, and apply them to the problems of your life to-day? -Oh, learn to practice the presence of God. Try to think of Him as really at your side. Speak to Him when you are in trouble or perplexity. Suppose you make a test of this Shepherd psalm only for to-day. Suppose you say: "From now until the hour when I fall asleep at night I will seek to live with this supreme purpose: that God is mine, and that He loves me, and is leading me." See what it will mean to you in peace and comfort and joy. And then realize that if you can do it for one day, you can do it for every day, and the problem of your life's meaning is solved. And when the last valley shall have been passed, and passed through, and you are drawing near to that fold, which James Lane Allen describes as "the final land where the mystery, the pain, and the yearning of this life will either be infinitely satisfied or infinitely quieted," though you shall have changed your place, you will not change your company. He who was with you here will be with you there, and this song shall still go singing its way on and up into the eternal light: "Goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I dwell in the house of the Lord forever." All Pervasive. There is not room enough in all created things for the soul of man—which, like a ship in a narrow river, hath not room to turn, and besides is ever and anon striking ground and foundering in the shallows. Jesus Christ is in every way adequate to the vast desires of the soul; in Him it hath sea room enough, there it may spread all its sails with no fear of touching the bottom—John Flavel. You Look Prematurely Old Most of the saltpetre, or nitre, which the world consumes comes from a limited region in Chili. These deposits have long been famous. They are not the only ones in existence, though. A writer for "The Technical World Magazine" declares that there are immense quantities in Southern California. Off to the north and east of Los Angeles, he says—two hundred and fifty miles or so away—is a vast region known as Death Valley. A few veins of gold and silver have been found there, but they cannot be mined. Nothing, is seen but sand and borax. To the southeast of the valley, this writer asserts, there are thousands of acres of crude nitre. The region is devoid of all vegetation. The desert is as yellow as corn and smooth as a floor. Under foot the earth crumbles into dust as fine as flour. Here and there rise hillocks, none of them more than two hundred feet high. On these the yellowish covering is often a foot or two thick. Elsewhere it thins to two or three inches. Below the powder is what is called a "bod rock," which is really no harder than dried clay. In both the dust and the rock there is nitre. Though there is next to no rain there, much of the nitre in the sand has been leached out. That in the bedrock is more abundant. To the taste this bedrock is of a fiery bitterness, so strong, indeed, that to hold it to the tongue for more than an instant is to invite a blister. How pure this is may be judged from he fact that hurried and necessarily incomplete field assays credited it with more than 14 per cent, the valley deposits giving about 1 per cent., and the "blanket" which covers the hills some 10 per cent. Nitre of this degree of purity can, of course, be worked at an immense profit when that desideratum of all desert mineral workings—water—can be had. The land beneath the nitre beds—which latter are merely superficial deposits and do not extend down into the earth at all—must of necessity be so soaked with the leachings from these hills that it, too, can be worked to advantage when the 10,000 or 15,000 acres of yellow granules of rock have been converted into an article of commerce. When the magazine writer here quoted has presented his picture of possible wealth, he points out that it is not now available. The deposits cannot be worked without water, and in the few places where water is found there is no railroad to carry away the commodity. This is a tantalizing statement to make, but it is conceivable that some day the situation may improve. Not His Property. Antoine Rivarol, the French epi-grammatist of the eleighteenth century, was so brilliant that something good was expected of him every minute. Once when he had been invited to dinner, at which the hostess especially wished him to shine, he sat quite silent. The attitude of disappointed expectancy in the company nettled him, and at last Rivarol made a stupid remark. Everybody uttered an exclamation. “There,” said Rivarol, “I cannot say a stupid thing without every one's crying, 'Thief'” At a dinner in the house of some Germans he make a joke. His hosts put their heads together inquiringly. Rivarol said to his neighbor, a Frenchman: “Look at the Germans pooling their wits to understand a joke.” FITTS, St, Vitus' Dance; Nervous Diseases permanently cured by Dr. Kline's Great Nerve Restorer. $3 trial bottle and treative free, Dr. H.

UNABLE TO WALK. Terrible Sore on Ankle Caused Awful Suffering—Could Not Sleep—Cured by Cuticura In Six Weeks. "I had a terrible sore on my ankle, and had not walked any for eleven months. I tried nearly everything without any benefit and had a doctor, but he didn't seem to do any good. He said I would have to have my limb taken off, and that I would never walk again. I suffered awful, and at night I could not sleep at all. I thought there was no rest for me, but as soon as I began to use Cuticura Soap and Ointment it commenced healing nicely. I bathed the ankle with warm water and Cuticura Soap, and then applied Cuticura Ointment to the affected part, and laid a cloth over the sore to hold it in place. After two weeks I could walk around in my room real good, and in six weeks' time my ankle was entirely cured, and I was walking around out of doors. Mrs. Mury Dickerson, Louisa C.

Easy to Read If You Take Borings and Know How to Interpret Them: The forester reads the history of a tree in great detail. After taking out a few "borings" to the center of the tree at different heights and counting the rings on them he may spin you such a yarn as this: "This tree is 150 years old—(150 rings at the base) During its first five years it grew only seven inches (145 rings seven inches from the base). Evidently it then began to touch crowns with other saplings, for it took a spurt and put on fifteen inches a year steadily till it was 40 years old (40 rings 44.1-2 feet above ground). "It was not growing as fast as its neighbors howover, for at this point it began to be overshadowed, and its growth declined for the next ten years to as little as four inches a year (45 rings at 48 feet and 50 at 50 feet)." "Just in time to save its life, something happened to its big neighbors, presumably a wind-storm—let's see, that would be in 1806—and it resumed a steady growth of about six inches a year, having passed its fastest growing time. "Its growth in thickness doesn't seem to have varied much; about an inch every three years; but it grew faster and faster in volume, of course, at its height increased; a little over a cubic foot a year in its prime of life. I should judge. "About thirty years ago it reached maturity and stopped growing in height (30 rings at the top of the main stem), and now it is approaching old age (the last rings are pretty thin). Hold on a minute; here's a false ring—twenty—forty—forty-six years back. Two very thin rings—see? instead of one thick one. Means that something interrupted the growing season—probably a late frost. Let us ask the oldest Inhabitant." And the chances, are ten to one the oldest Inhabitant remembers the hard spring of 1860 and has heard tales of the great wind in 1806.—American Magazine.

A BOTTLE WILL BREAK WATERPROOF CLAY TOUGH YOUR CHILLS 7 Not long ago a certain clergyman from the West was called to a church in Jersey City. Soon after his arrival, the divine's wife made the usual visits to the members of the parish. One of these, a plumber's wife, was asked by the good lady whether the family were regular churchgoers, whereupon the wife of the plumber replied that while she and her children were attendants at divine service quite regularly, her husband was not. "Dear me," said the minister's wife, "that's too bad! Does your husband never go to church?" "Well, I wouldn't say that he never went," was the reply. "Occasionally Will goes to the Unitarian, now and then to the Methodist, and I have known him to attend the Catholic church." A look of perplexity came to the face of the visitor. "Perhaps your husband is an agnostic," suggested she. "Not at all," hastily answered the other; "he's a plumber. When there is nothing for him to do at one church, there is very likely something for him at one of the others."—Harper's Weekly. The huge undertaking, that confronts those who have enlisted for the stamping out of tuberculosis, warns the New York Evening Post, is to persuade people to consult physicians in regard to all symptoms that are not those of acute and brief illness; to teach physicians to recognize the early phases of the disease; and to furnish for the imperilled poor food and good housing on a scale hitherto unknown—to cure the weak and needy without pauperizing them. It does not necessarily follow that a large salary indicates commensurate or legitimate service, suggests the New Haven Register. The great insurance president received enormous salaries, and the investigation revealed in a number of instances an actual lack of knowledge of the very business they were paid to know and direct.

Germans Accuae Lumber’ Company of Holding Them In Virtual Slavery, Peonage in its worst form is charg- ed agatust the officers of the Jackson Lumber company at Lockhart, Ala, and United States deputies, armed with warants for thelr arrest, left Pensaccla, Fla, Tuesday for that place. “It the allegations are true, about one hundred immigrants, mostly Ger- mans, are held in the lumber camps of that company virtually as slaves, _ & party of Germans reached Pen- sacola ‘fuesday morning from ,the camps, stating that they had. escaped. They went to the German vice consul for protection, and told him a tale of M1 treatment and cruelty that has hardly a:paraliel in the south, In reciting thetr tale: of woe, they sald they were brought south in Feb- ruary under representations that they would recelve $3 and $5 per day, but Tecelved only $1 from the company tor their labor, They allege that they were compelled to eat after the Amer- icans, and if nothing was left they got nothing to eat. No man was al- lowed to leave camp, and when they attempted it and wer ceaught they were severely beaten. In the woods the bosses go armed, and if the men do not work to sult them they are stripped and while two of them hold a man across a log a third piles a strap or any Instrument ‘of torture handy. ‘The Jackson Lumber company {fs one of the largest in the south. It was organized three years ago, and 1s com. posed principally of Michigan ana, Wisconsin capitalists.

GHOULS ARE DEFIED Fear cf Grave Robbers Leads Wife of Dead Financier to Take Extra Precautions—Coffin’ and Case % Cost $23;000. P Encased in a hermetically sealed copper envelope placed within a solid mahogany cofa, the body of Russell Sage was Wednesday placed in a chilled steel case, four inches thick, riveted with steel bolts, locked with a lock which can only be opened from the inside and lowered into a grave at Troy, 'N. Y. The grave was carpeted and lined with evergreens. on which the clods were heaped and the mound built, The steel case welghs three tons. Immediately after the steel box and contents were lowered into the grave, electrical connections were mede and immediate warning will be given if any attempt Is made to tamper with the remains, Extraordinary efforts to thwart pos~ sible grave robbers was sanctioned oy Mrs. Sag? and her closest friends, Expenditures fn this direction will be greater than ever known In the burial of a private individual. The cofiin alone of solid mahogany with Its copper inside envelope, trim- mings and handles, cost approximate- ly $1,000. The steel case and its pat- ent unpickable lock cost $22,000. It is called the burglar precf comn and it is ascertained that even with- out the adled precaution of electrical protection or guards, it would be im- possible for the most expert grave robber to get at the body, Mrs. Sage, It Is sald, has had a dread of the violation of the sepub chre ever since the stealing of the body of A. T, Stewart, and she rea ily consented to the proposal for safo- guarding the grave of her Hisband. The steel case is of such hardness that {t would take two expert safe- blowers to break the cuter shell and then only by the employment of spe- clally constructed tools. There {s no yisible lock to be attacked. Once th? lid ts closed down, a self-locking mech- anism clamps it inside at tweaty points and not the slightest opening is left for the insertion of a wedge. ‘The corners are all rounded. The body of Russell Sage was burled in Oakwood cemetery beside tho body of his first wife. The body arrived in Troy in a private car at- tached to a regular train from New York, The words which are to be engraved on the Sage monument are: “I have done the best that I could by the light of the day." ‘The funeral services proper over the body of Mr. Sage were held in the First Presbytertan church at Far Rock- away Tuesday afternoon. A number of prominent citizens were among those who were present to pay a last tribute to the memory of the aged financier, - Afler the services In Far Rockaway the body was placed in a special car and sent to New York city, where it was taken to the Gage home in Fifth ‘avenue, The casket was placed in the front parlor and so arranged that the friends of the family who called might have a lastGiook at the face of the dead financier.
