HE best geological estimates of the age of our globe are in close agreement. From the time when the record of the stratified rocks begin to the present, the figures are something over 100,000,000 years. While some of the estimates vary considerably both abovet and below the period mentioned, the general results are hot materially affected. T A generation ago, calculations of the earth's age were for the most part, vary much less than one-half of the figure given above. Dana, for instance, computed the length of Paleozoic time at about 30,000,000 years; of Mesozoic time, 9,000,000 years, and of Cenozoic time, 3,000,000 years, making in all 48,000,000 years. Recently, however, there has been found beneath the vast Paleozoic sequence an assemblage of rocks of enormous extent. All geologists are now agreed in placing the time equivalent of these pre-Cambrian clastics as equal, at least, to the entire time that has elapsed since the beginning of the Paleozoic era. Taking into consideration this fact, even Dana's estimated is doubled, and reaches very nearly the 100,000,000 mark. Biologists tell us that at the beginning of Paleozoic time life in general was already nine-tenths differentiated. There must have been a period of time prior to this during which organic forms flourished, and during which sediments were laid down, that was very, very long. This early period, possibly, was not ten times as long as from Cambrian times to the present, as the figures cited might suggest, but it certainly was at least two or three times as long. From all these different sources one can arrive at a comparative scheme. If we consider the ratios, we get for Archeozoic time 23, for Proterozoic time 38, Paleozoic time 28, Mesozoic time 8, Cenozoic time 3, and we obtain for the total number of years something like 150,000,000.—American Monthly Review of Reviews. By Mrs. Dimies Denison. WISH every one of the great company of girls at home this year, waiting for their chance, or spending their first discouraged or buoyant days in New York City, might write these questions on the tablet of her heart, and answer them with honesty, and thereby know her exact equipment to enter into a struggle of which she knows nothing, and which consists of so much more than the daily bread. These are the questions:— Is my repulsion for any form of the risque a real feeling and instinct with me, or is it the result of breeding? Are my reserve and my self-respect sufficient to win for me the unpresuming and chivalrous manner which I have always been shown by men in my mother's drawing-room? Is what I call my tolerance the result of sober judgment and a broad look at life, or am I so proud of being tolerant, that some of my attitudes towards what others do, and believe, border on looseness of vision? Have I the judgment and poise to recognize ugliness as ugliness when I see it, and not to let myself be taught that some ugliness is beauty in alien guise? Is it easy for me to tell a lie? It may be that I do not lie often, but is it easy for me to lie when it is convenient? The pity is that a young woman usually does not know that these questions exist until experience has revealed each one to her. The pity of it is that when the wise one who has been through it all and knows the truth, when such a one tries to tell her how vital these questions are, there spring to the would-be teacher's lips only the old cant phrases which the girl has heard from her childhood.—Success.

One of the most-profitable side lines in which the general farmer may engage is horse breeding. It is a business for which a great majority of the farmers already possess a part of the equipment, as there are few, who do not have at least one general purpose mare suitable for the purpose. Here is a great opportunity then to secure a good profit at a small additional outlay. Now, there are horses and horses; some bred for speed, some for style and gait, some for work. It is with the last class that the farmer would best deal if he wants to keep his peace of mind and a plump wallet.—Farming. Sore Head. A reader at Strayhen, Miss., asks for a remedy for sore-head, which appears in form of scabs on heads and combs of fowls. Sore-head is nothing more than a blood disease and is easily controlled and cured. Sulphur in soft food, a teapoonful to each dozen hens, fed every other day, will cure almost every case. If the heads are very sore, it may be necessary to rub the affected parts with carbolized vasellne, but mild cases will not require such treatment. A few drops of tincture of iron in drinking water will materially aid in toning up the system and keep the blood in good condition. While feeding sulphur it will be necessary to keep the fowls out of rain or damp grass, as they easily contract colds.-Home and Farm. A Good Cellar or Cave. One of the handiest cellars or caves I have ever seen was constructed in the following manner. A cylindrical hole was dug into the ground at the desired spot about eight feet in diameter and three feet deep, the dirt being thrown just outside the circumference line. Then the well shaped excavation was walled with brick laid in mortar and brought to an apex at the desired height above the surface of the earth. As it extended above the ground the dirt was drawn to it and covered it to the desired depth. In the apex was placed an air tube, which could be opened or closed at pleasure. The door was constructed nearest, the dwelling house. Up to this was fitted a frame work, which was enclosed, the outside door being made to fit closely, in order to keep out dogs and cats. Around the wall of the cave benches were constructed for fruit and vegetables. The floor was cemented, and contained a hole near the wall into which any water might drain and be dipped out with a bucket. This cave or cellar furnished a warm place for fruit and vegetables during the winter, a cool place for milk in the summer and a refuge from cyclones and tornadoes. —W. D. Neale. The Coach Horse. A horseman of experience commends the coach horse as a class in good demand, at profitable prices always, and says that a carriage horse should be able to pull weight and have endurance enough to continue at a fair rate of speed. The demands of the times call for true natural action. Boots and weights are impracticable, unsightly and inconvenient for use on the public highway. Moreover, the action should be pure and frictionless. Horses for pleasure use in the great cities must possess courage and great endurance. While speed is a very desirable quality, the breeder should not sacrifice size for it. The ordinary farmer will hardly profit by breeding horses for speed purposes only. What he wants is a saleable animal or horse of general utility, and a horse to be generally useful and the class that command the longest prices are those that belong to the carriage type. As aforesaid, if the farmers and small breeders can evolve a type of horses with nice conformation, a fair rate of speed, with plenty of substance and size for pulling weight, and to this add endurance and gameness, they will find horse breeding a most profitable and useful industry. Parent Stock Weak. A subscriber at Ringood, N. C., asks why her chickens die. She says she sets the eggs under hens, and they hatch very well, but that several from each brood are weak, and lie on their backs for a few days, when they die. This is clearly a case where but little attention has been paid to the selection of males and females for the breeding yard. No change has been made for some years and no new blood has been secured; inbreeding has been allowed to continue until the vitality of the fowls has become weak. The fertility of the eggs, though fairly good, will of necessity develop a weakness in the chicks, and this in time will produce a flock of fowls so delicate that they will be easy prey to every disease known to poultrydorn. Each year strong and vigorous fowls should be selected for the breeding pens, and these should be confined until the hatching season has ended. Should it not be possible to make such a selection from one's own flock, then by all means buy a male of the same breed from some reliable breeder. From the chicks hatched from this mating you may select pullets for the following year and again secure a male as was done the previous year. Experienced poultry breeders may successfully improve their flocks each year by careful selection, but with those who are not thoroughly familiar with all the requirements necessary, it will be better to proceed as before stated. Inbreeding is practiced by many of the most successful poultry fanciers of this country, but indiscriminate choosing of a male and a few females, with no regard to results required, will inevitably prove a failure. It does not pay to keep a dozen so males running about the place. Keep only a few and let them be the best you can get. Each year try to improve on the previous one, and do not work blindly to accomplish your purpose.—Home and Farm. Blight That Attacks the Potato. Bright That Attacks the Potato. The grower who hopes to succeed in raising potatoes must arrange for a fixed acreage every year, regardless of price. Increase your areag rather than decrease it when seed stock is cheap. Plant freely when potatoes are a drug on the market. Don't neglect the potato crop this year. Give it timely and intelligent care. Start the cultivator after the planters and ridge the rows much like hilling the same. In two or three days start the harrow across the rows to destroy the sprouted weed seeds. Keep these implements busy on large fields of potatoes or corn and thus kill the weeds before they see daylight. When the potatoes are well established spray them with Bordeaux mixture and Paris green, regardless of the absence of bugs or blight. These enemies to potato growing are so active when they begin work that they may ruin the prospects of a good crop in a day or two. Blight is now fully as destructive as potato bugs in the Northwest, hence, growers must anticipate its annual appearance and keep the crop sprayed with Bordeaux, the cheapest and most reliable preventive in use up to date. Farmer's Bulletin, No. 243, which may be secured from the Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C., gives a very complete list of the various formulas and methods of preparing and applying the fungicide mixtures. Send for a copy at once. The "5-5-50" combination is easily remembered and as good as any. Cut an oil barrel in half, each part of which will hold twenty-five gallons of water. Dissolve five pounds of blue viriol (Sul. of Copper) in one container, and five pounds of stone lime in the other. Cover the top of another fifty gallon barrel with a cheese cloth, strain and dip the solution from the small containers into the larger, using equal parts of each as they are mixed. Add one-fourth to one-half pound of strictly first class Paris green to the fifty gallons of Bordeaux mixture. Apply with a sprinkler or a spray pump. Every neighborhood should own a mounted automatic spray outfit to be operated with a horse. These will cover four to six rows and do the work better than it can be done by hand. Don't neglect this important work until the damage has been wrought, but arrange for the material; at once. -Indianapolis News. Popular interest in dairying is increasing. Keep the grass away from around the trunks of the trees. Bathing suits in princess models are very tastefully developed in tuffeta or sicilian. Burn the litter and trash that accumulates in the poultry house, frequently. Turkeys can not stand dampness, at least until they are eight weeks old, and not then unless strong and well developed. Put eight or ten drops of tincture of aconite to each gallon of the drinking water twice a week, to prevent colds and roup. Leg weakness in chickens usually results from three causes, rapid growth, bottom heat in brooders and the use of sulphur. There is no excellence without great labor, and it certainly is as true in the poultry business as in any other business. Experience has taught us that the most profitable kinds of poultry to raise for market are the quick-growing, early-maturing breeds. The increasing price of fence posts, and the decreasing supply is causing men to reflect about the future post. We will have to get some good substitute or plant trees. Paint, when judiciously applied to farm implements, will give better returns than when applied to buildings. Paint buildings for appearances and implements for durability.

He was surrounded by efficient officers and the leading Sir Knights assisted in making his successive administrations memorable ones, that attracted to Georgia the fame as the foremost Pythian jurisdiction. Grand Chancellor Creswill's report to the Grand Lodge was an able one, covering every phase of the work in the state, and proved that the Grand Lodge is in a healthy condition; especially when it was shown that more than $50,000 was spent for charity.

Among the Masons. NOTES AND HAPRENINGS IN THE ANCIENT AND HONORABLE ORDER. In his annual address, Grand Master Burris of Illinois, speaking of the Home, says: "Our home is an assured success. The goal that we have so long striven to reach is ours, and only good judgment and proper management is required to perpetuate our monument to Masonry that the whole country is praising, white and colored." And Georgia rejoices with this grand jurisdiction in the success of its Home, and hopes that the day is not distant when every jurisdiction will have such a place of refuge for its unfortunate ones. Georgia is the pioneer jurisdiction to have such an institution, a fact that the members of the order in the state should be proud and give unstated support, financial and otherwise. What's the use having a large membership if the true spirit of Masonry does not prevail? It, should be the main purpose of the worshipful master and officers to have the brethren instructed in this direction. Communications for instruction are as essential as those for business and business should be secondary when the principles of the order are involved. The Grand Chapter O. E. S. meets in Atlanta on Tuesday-morning. August 14, at 9 o'clock. Each chapter in the state is expected to be represented. Delegates desiring to secure homes must write Brother M. McNair, 32 1-2 Whitehall street. Do not forget to secure certificate in purchasing your ticket. This certificate will entitle you to return for one-third fare. Beauties of Masonry. Masonry, so different from other societies, in that it makes no effort to acquire membership or advance itself numerically, is steadily progressing in this as well as all other jurisdictions. Peace and harmony prevail, and in its own peculiar way this grand and noble institution is coining the work of centuries, and mankind is the more enlightened and benefited by it. No change in its fundamental principles, no act, resolution or law can improve them. The lessons taught in its several degrees are always new. Men attaching themselves to it are better, purer and consequently happier. It is the defender of the rights of all men. It teaches and impresses upon its votaries their duty to God, their neighbor and themselves. It teaches love of country and obedience to the laws. Non-political, non-sectarian, it embraces men of every country on the globe, demanding of them a belief in an all-wise and ever-living God. Charity it dispenses unostentatiously, and it is ever ready to take the fallen brother by the hand and assist him to correct his errors and his faults. Is it then at all surprising that such an institution moves onward and up- D. Creswill was elected Grand Chancellor, Georgia. The lodges were few and the Pythlan spirit was not lacking. He was the leading Sir Knights assisted in collections memorable ones, that attracted to St Pythlan jurisdiction.

Because General Cresswill to feel elated mainly his friends join him in their re-return to health.. ward, inspires its members, and benefits the world? — Grand Master Slack. Speculative Masonry represents man in his entrance into the world, in which he is afterwards to become a living and thinking actor. It then represents him as emerging from darkness to light, and on, as he comes out of ignorance into knowledge; and, when he shall have acquired it, Masonry teaches him how to use knowledge wisely and well. In a word, the teachings of Masonry, when learned and put into practice, fit a man for all the social and active duties of life, and make him a good and useful citizen.—Ex. The teachings of Masonry are of life and for the living. Masonry entwines about and intermingles with the felicitations for the living, its sorrow for the dead. The cold hand of death is not needed to awaken the manifestations of this sympathy. It is continuously exhibited in every community. It is but one form of that oneness so characteristic of our order, which causes us to rejoice in a brother's joy, and when burdens and disappointments become his portion, to mingle our tears with his. He alone whose heart throbs responsively to the touch of another, can exemplify the true Masonic type. Such craftsmen are to be found in every community, and like About Ben Adhem's, their "name leads all the rest."—Alex Van Arsdal. Brother John Hill of Mt. Ray Lodge in a letter received this week stated that Rv. C. M. Moon of Cordele preached an excellent sermon to his lodge. Rev. Moon is an ardent Mason and has in store many good things for the craft. WATSON AND THE NEGRO. "I believe in the Jeffersonian creed with all my heart, and think that all the aim of good government can be covered by that one sentence, "equal and exact justice to all men." "To the rich and the poor; to the merchant and the farmer; to the banker, and the miner; to the scholar and the ditcher. And I emphasize here what I have been so misrepresented and blamed for saying before, that this republic will never reach its true grandeur as long as a deadline is drawn between one section and another, one color and another. "I yield to no man in my pride of race. I believe the Anglo-Saxon is stronger in the glorious strength of conception and achievement than any race of created man; but from my very pride of race springs my intense scorn of that phantasm manufactured by the political bosses and called 'Negro domination.' "Sochally, I want no mixing of the races. It is best that both should preserve the race integrity by staying apart. But when it comes to matters of law and justice, I despise the Anglo-Saxon who is such an infernal coward to deny legal rights to any man on account of his color, for fear of 'Negro domination.' "Dominate what? Dominate how? Dominate whom? "It takes intellect to dominate. Haven't we got it? "It takes 'majorities' to dominate. Haven't we got them? "It takes wealth to dominate. Haven't we go; it? "It takes social, financial, legislative, military, naval, ecclesiastical and educational establishments to dominate. Haven't we got them?" "For a thousand years the whites, the Anglo-Saxons, have had all these advantages. Armed with the garnered wealth of ten centuries, equipped with all the mental advantages of school systems, hoary with ages, holding all the land, avenues of commerce, all the sources of political power, outnumbering the blacks eight to one, and continually gaining on them, what words can paint the cowardice of the Anglo-Saxon who would deny 'equal and exact justice' to the ignorant, helpless, poverty-cursed Negro in whose cars the clanks of chains have scarcely ceased 'domination.' "Away with such contemptible timidity of counsel. "Right is everlastingly right. Wrong is eternally wrong."—Thomas E. Watson, in People's Party Paper, July, 1893. The above are the utterances of Tom Watson a few years ago. He has repudiated the above and now wishes to "place the Negro where he will never be heard from." HAPPENINGS AT EASTMAN. Mr. L. W. Whitehead is at home after visiting Macon and attending a meeting of the board of directors of the state fair; which will be held in Macon next November. Each director is expected to raise $10 by August 3. There will soon be another rousing meeting. L. W. Whitehead, chairman; J. W. McGrieff, secretary. Mrs. J. W. McGrief left the city to spend a week at the farm of Mr. J. W. McGrieff, six miles from the city. Miss Anna Blackshear and sister attended a big meeting at Rev. S. M. Cook's church. They had a nice time in the country. Mr. G. T. Tharff has reopened his business, which was closed last January on account of his eyes affecting him. His friends are glad to have him resume business. The people are being worked up over the colored state fair. There are many large farmers in the county and efforts will be made to reacn them all. J. W. Mc. CHARITY WILL NOT SUFFER. Mrs. Sage Will Scatter Husband's Millions. With Lavish Hand. Russell Sage's fortune, estimated at from $70,000,000 to $80,000,000, has been left virtually to charity. Those close to Mrs. Sage, to whom practically the entire estate was bequeathed, now say that many millions will be distributed in aid of worthy objects and in accordance with an understanding reached by the financier and his wife long ago. As Mr. Sage's life was given up to amassing riches so the years of Mrs. Sage have been devoted to a study of philanthropy, and what he gathered she is expecting to scatter with a lavish hand. Although 77 years of age Mrs. Sage is in fairly good health. She realizes, however, she has not many years to live and for that reason she will begin the distribution of the fortune in the way she desires very soon. TRAIN HITS LANDSLIDE. Flyer Plunges Into River, Killing Two and Injuring Fifteen. Pacific express train, No. 37, of the New York Central and Hudson River railroad, which left one Grand Central Station, in New York, at 9:32 o'clock Sunday night, was wrecked shortly before midnight, 11 miles below Poughkeepsle by running into a landslide, which had been swept down from a high embankment by a terrific rainstorm. The engine of the flyer was thrown from the rails and plunged into the river. Fireman Mills was killed outright, Engineer Wells, whose home is in the Bronx, N. Y., was so badly injured that he will die. Fifteen passengers were seriously injured, and a score of others received minor hurts. END OF FRISCO STRIKE. @cuthern Pacific Grants Demands of Freeloft Handlers The Southern Pacific company has granted the demands of the freight handlers in the yards at Oakland, Cal., who went on strike last week for more pay, but returned to work when the company promised to consider their wishes. The company agreed that men employed for more than sixty days should be paid 25 cents an hour and all new men 22 12 cents until they worked sixty days. SOUNDS DOOM OF GUILLOTINE. Salary of Public Executive Cut From French Budget A Paris dispatch says: The government budget committee, in taking up the estimates for 1907, Saturday struck out the salary of M. Diebler, Jr., the public executioner, thus foreshadowing the disappearance of the guillotine. Good Opportunities for Small Farmers in the Islands. For people of small means there are no greater opportunities for an assured income than in the Philippines Islands. The climate is here, the soil is here and moisture assured. Right here in this province you have the finest climate in the world, a perpetual summer, with cool nights, the days not near as hot as in cities of the United States. We have no sunstrokes, and are constantly fanned by a sea breeze. We can raise all the year around cocoa (chocolate), tobacco, rubber, cocoanut, hemp, sugar, etc. Corn grows voluntarily. Almost all our vegetables succeed well. In fact, anything that grows in the tropics, semi-tropics, can be raised here. All that is needed is push, grit and a little money to insure success. Now if some young people would organize a corporation among themselves and invest part of their incomes for three or four years in this island they could buy 2,400 acres of land at $2.50 to $5 an acre that in five years cannot be got for $25 an acre, or they could lease the same land from the Government at prices ranging from twenty-five cents to fifty cents an acre a year, with option to renew the lease at the expiration of the first term. Of course the Government expects the land to be improved and cultivated. These lands planted in cocoa, rubber, tobacco, hemp and coffee would commence paying in about three years from, planting, and increase their crops every year, until they would reach their full development, when they become a veritable gold mine. It would not be necessary to reside here, for the corporation could appoint an agent, who could manage the plantation, but it is essential that the owners be United States citizens. The markets for these products are here. The foreign firms are willing to buy the crops a year in advance, and when we have free trade with the home land things will boom and the islands will be too small. Land is being taken up rapidly, and now is the time to get in on the ground floor before the Government raises the price and alters the laws. This is going to be a great country, and there is no doubt of it. It is also a very beautiful one, green all the year around, with fine forests of all kinds of valuable woods. As to labor, the natives are a good class of farm hands, a little slow, but they are cheaply kept, and receive about $10 a month. They do all the rough work. Transportation from island to island is done by steamboats,' which abound everywhere:—Ed Lebrun, Sergeant, Band Nineteenth Infantry, Parang, Mindanao, P. I. WORDS OF WISDOM Double dealing always halves the profits. Holy character is the only reliable heavenly credential. The lazy man always has the worst form of heart disease. It would never do for the trouble hunter to go to heaven; he would die of disappointment. A good many men would get into heaven if they could use their gravestones as tickets at the gates. Perhaps you can tell more about a man's piety by his private prayers than by his public practice. The devil enjoys the hard names we call him, if we will only let him go right on with his business. The rich man is willing that his money should be called tainted if only it will be the scapegoat for his sins. The world will not be saved by arguments about God in heaven, without the evidences of a God in the heart. The deceits of the devil would be more enduring if his fleshly desires were not so much stronger than his discretion. If the good sisters put half as much in the offering as they carry on their heads the church would soon cease to be a beggar. No man has any right to take into his life any more money than he can properly administer and account for as God's steward. There is better evidences of overruling providence in prevention and preservation than in the most dramatic and singular extrication from danger. It never seems to occur to some men that there's anything queer about preaching against graft on Sunday and asking for a preacher's discount on Monday—Ram's Horn. Ingenious Lock. A Jamaica inventor has constructed a remarkable combination lock that seems likely to defy the most expert lock picker. The combination is arranged in four sets of letters, twenty-four letters in each, and each letter represented by a figure. It can be set to a sentence in almost any modern language, one letter being taken from one set, one from another, and so on. The person who would open the lock must first know what letter each figure represents and then what language the sentence is in. The Scientific American considers that one trying to pick the lock would have to work over 96,000,000 years at the rate of sixty numbers a minute before arriving at the correct combination. If air at ordinary temperatures does not move at more than one and a half feet a second, no draught is felt. “The Savannsh Tribune: ” Postma Evurr SATURDAY, - RY THE TRIBUNE PUBLIBHING 00 116 W. &, Julian Street, 5, Ga, "Phone 574, ine u Susscmirvion Rares.

Txovucn suffering the hard. ships of a ‘Starm und Drang” period, the race is awakening its ormant energies and develop- _ ing surprising powers of endur- ance. From poverty to power is a hard road to travel; but the record we have achieved since * emancipation is one of which we are proud, and its brighter aspects are encouraging us to face the present situation brave ly. Our taxable property now amounts to $700;000,000, our banks number 30, and our news- Papers 650.

It seems as if there is too much apathy, baffoonery and instability on the part of some, as regards this important question. The situa- tion cannot always remain as_it is—we must win or loss. We received the ballot 2s a measure of defense as well as of justice, and assuch it has served 2s well, Wevhave proven our claim, and right to American citizenship, and cannot afford to sit supine while demagogues snatch it away.

Bunt there is another side to. this subjects that we would do well toconsider. Ap- parently, all goes “well until it concerns our people—and lo! the situation changes.

If we ask forcon- sideration and a part in -our national and state expositions, we are given dingy quarters and discriminated againat as long as we are on thefairgrounds. Of- ten foreigners who, under differ- ent circumstances, treat us with Heomney and respect, coming un- der the banefal influence of American prejudice at these ex- positions, are prone to fall in| line and discriminate too, think- ing this the proper course to pursue. That waswhat the race | experienced at the St. Louis Ex- position, and the outlook for the Jamestown Exposition is no better. Above all things, the race can not vote to “Jim Crow” itself. In cases where we must accept discriminatjons, we ac- cept them under protest. In- dividuals without race pride may act as they please, but as 2 race we ought to take a stand in this matter, and refuse to co- operate with at© undertaking that denies us the privileges it willingly accords all others. | State Fair Workers.

In Pennsylvania a judge may send Doys te any one of the several re- formatories or to an asylum. ‘since he sas made a special study of juve- nile crime Judge Barratt has com- mitted céveral bays to the State Hos- ‘pital for the Insane in Norristown, where, under competent medical and surgical treatment, wonders hare deen worked with Incorrigibles. Dr, Ernest’La Place trephined the ‘Skull of Spurgeon Welty, and a very wieked boy became a lovable and ‘capable little chap. , Dr. Desiderio Roman, wHo accompanied Lieutenant Peary in his hunt for t’e North Pole, ‘did the same for Jacob Haddiman in ‘St. Luke's Hospital, and the boy, ‘who was a daring and persistent ‘thief, shows marked and increasing signs of moral regeneration. Jacob Haddiman, it was discovered, had a‘ fractured skull, ‘Who, then, shall now insist that all criminals are merely vicious and that none is diseased or malformed? The proposition advanced by Edward Dunlap, burglar, really seems to be lose to prevt. | ‘The Theory of the Burglar. Hear Dunlap, who, when willing his brain to science, wrete, with the hand of death on him: “I am and have been all my life acriminal. Why? ~ “Was I born too Iate? Should I have lived in the. days of the great adventurer’—Drake and Cortes and sil other pillagers and conquerors and heroic thieves who could trace thelr neage back further than Jason’ who quested for the Golden Fleece? “Was I born too early—before the days of high finance and the unhero- ic thieves of this decade? “Orcwas it because of some subtle quirk in my brain, some cerebral formation, some little grouping: of the brain cells, that I, who should have been an honest man, an artist, 4 poet perhaps, became 2; burglar? May it not be that a spleule of bone presses on a convolution of my brain and, so dolng, preverts my whole nature? “f do not-know, and I have thought Hard and long on the causes. But this, although I do not know, is what { am Inclined to think: ‘Real crime is a disease, or rather crime is the symptom of a subtle disease of brain and nerve, just as a rash is in some caces a symptom of fever. All those who are criminals—and in this list T place the aucient conquerors, the gentlemen adventurers, the burglar, the counterfelter, the swindler, the priest of high finance, all of the under world, and all, too, of the upper world who are ¢inged with the evil—all those who are criminals, I say have this disease. “It may be that the disease that germinates crimes and criminals springs from a Dacillus. There are many reasons for believing it 1s so. f have seen the criminal taint coi municated in the most curious ways, hardly credible, I have seen crim- inal phenomena that paralleled the contagion of slow fevers, the stride of quick, destructive disease. _ “Certainly crime is contagious. I have seen honest, law-abiding men turned within ‘a fortnight to crim- nals. I haye seen others in whom the course of the inoculation was slower. “Ts there a subtle bacillus of evil, a germ of crime, that causes the fer ment of the under world? I do not «now. Perbapé my brain will tell. [ have left It for the men of sclence to ponder over, to dissect, to exam- Ine microscopically. Perhaps they eax find'the germ of crime. So I, who ell my’ life was the enemy of so- ciety, may by my death become its parture from all precedent and ‘pro- cedure Judge Barratt said: . “No court would knowingly send a Junatic to the gallows. No court shou!d knowingly send a deficient to prison. “To-day we have neurologists who can point out with almost unerring accuracy the defects of those subject to their examinstion. |. “It is a common practice to call in allenists to advise the court as to the mental conditiowof persons ac- cused of murder, and I see no rea- son yoy such advice should not be sought fin the cases of other offend- ers who face long terms in pricon. “I see no signs of either crime or disease in boys who break windows, throw snowballs, play hookey when baseballs are ripe, or try high dives ‘as soon‘as the ico is out of the river, put I do see erldence of both crime and disease in habitual Mars, per- sistent thieves, and Im all those, guilty of offenses, Such offenders should be kept under restraint in properly equipped hospitals until the attending surgeons and neurologists can advise the courts 2s to whether ‘or not operative surgery or continued medical treatment will serve any good purpose.

KAISER’S FAMILY AT PLAY. Unconventional Dgings of Imperlz Princes When in the Country. ‘The German Emperor and his fam ily spend their summer’ vacation it te castle of Wilhelmshohe, near Cas sel. As described by a writer in Harp er's Bazar, it {§ really a vacation Here is seen the domestic side of the royal pictare which appeals so strong ly to the German. The Empress 1: not alone the first lady d& the land— she {s the first mother in the land. ‘The aristocracy may grumble thai she neglects her social duties and coi tivates too closely the famous three K’s recommended by the Emperor— Kirche, Kinder und Kuche (church, children and cooking)—but it is pre cisely because of this that the bulk of the German nation have enshrined -her-In their kearts. As spring changes to summer and the date set for the Empress's arr, val draws near, there toil up the wooded slopes of Wilhelmshohe vans of gigantic slze, depositing furniture, provisions and trunks at the Schloss, which opens wide its windows to the morning sunlight. . In the grounds an army of ppasant women in blue cottoa gowns and white handkerchiefs rake and hoe, prune and plant, till the flower: beds gtow fairly riotous with blossom. Carriages and yebicles galore and all sorts and conditions of horses come one by one to the stables, and at the entrance to the wooded bridle ‘path, which we regarded as our own special property, a polite notice was posted that it was “for the very most highest personages reserved.” Several years ago, when the Crown Prince was still a boy, we used to have glimpses of the mother playing tennis on the lawn with her two eld- est sons and a lady in waiting, or of the whole party sitting round. the sup- per table on the terrace of a warm summer evening, Indeed, the Princes seemed to be omnipresent, and every one had a, different tale to tell of them. ® One morning as the artillery was coming in from its daily Dienst, the Crown Prince, with ‘is legs apart and his hands im his pockets, was standing at the entrance to the barracks, watching the Jong traln of guns:and horses file by: His tutor reproved the boy for his attitude, with the remark: “The Crown Prince never stands in that position!” “Oh, bother Crown Princes” came the rejoinder. ‘That this small Hohenzollern was a chip of the old block, however, is ev!- denced by the story that in bis play with his brother, the handsome Eitel Fritz, the latter in some way displeas- ed the elder, who attempted to pum- mel him, saying: “I'll teach you who is Crown Prince.” On his retura that evening the Em- peror was told of the occurrence, and calling the‘heir to the throne before him, made him tell his verslon of the story. : “Quite right," sald the Emperor, when the boy had finished; “and now I shall teach you who is Emperor!” whereupon he admlnistered a severe rebuke to the Crown Prince. ‘The relations between parents and children, however, are of the tender est; and during the few weeks that the Emperor spends at Wilhelmshohe every moment that he can spare from affairs of state {s devoted to his fam- ily. ‘The Princes, in their blue and white sallor suits, scoured the neighborhood on foot. Any fine morning the four eldest boys could be seen trudging along to the carpenter’s shop, where they amused themselves with ham- mer and saw, each one carrying his pwn tools, and a plank some four feet long over his shoulder. a George Meredith, it 1s sald, will write no more ‘novels. Though both legs were fractured in an accident some months ago, he is, when ‘his age is considered, making what seems to be surprising progress.

An essential to the life of the okapl fs a small stream of water with some muddy and swampy ground on either side.

It 1s the young leaf of this plant that fs the favorlte food of the okapl, and I venturo to say that where the plant {s not ta be found the animal will not ‘exist, During the night he will wander along in the mud and water fn search of {t.

His account of his visit to a pe cullarly tough mining town is very Interesting, ‘As I walked down the street, 1 saw advancing toward me an éle- gantly drefsed geatleman, with large diamonds shining upon ‘bis spotless nen, There were seven saloons ir arow, AsI drew near my handsome | young frie-1 and was about to ex: tend my hand he surveyed me, con- cluded I was a parson and might wish to interview him on some sub- fect with which he was not familiar and suddenly disappeared into one of the saloons. -: , “Twice defeated, I went back to the hotel and asked Colonel Burns, the grorrletor, to let me have some large writing paper. In bold hand I wrote out a few notices. I arfnounced that, as Bishop of Idaho, I had come tr camp, and would preach the next moriing, Sunday, at J1 o'clock, and in the evening at 8; that both ser- vices yould be in the dance-hall. All were cordially invited to attend. Then the Colonel let me have some tacks, I soon discovered that my method of advertising was not Ike ly to be successful. What more could I do? As I walked by the sa- loons, I observed that they were full of men. It only I were not a bishop, I reflected, the problem would “be easy of solution; for then I could go into the saloons where the men are and deliver my invitation in per son, but how would it look for a bis- hop to visit such places, even with ‘the best of motives? At-last I be- ‘came desperate. I seiected the first saloon in the row. I went in. I Introduced myself to the proprietor. I told him I was the Bishop of Idaho, end had come in to pay my respects to him, He met me very cordially. “Why, Bishop, I dm proud to know you, What will you have?’ “[ thanked him and told him T should be greatly indebted to-him if he would kindly introduce me to those gentlemen, pointing to a large room back of the saloon, where the mea were gathered. ‘Do you mean the boys in the poolroom?’ he asked. “Yes, I-presume I do.’ Thereupon he came out from behind the counter, put his arm in mine in a familiar way, as though we had been boon companions all our lives, and escort- ed me to the open doorway of the poolroom. ‘Boys,’ he cried out, ‘hold up the game. Put up the chips just a minute, ‘This is the Bishop right among us, and he wants to be introduced.’ With a politeness and courtesy which would have done credit to any drawing room in New, York, Boston, or Philadelphia, the | men rose from their seats and wel- | comed me. I said briefly: ‘Excuse | me, gentlemen, I do not wish to in- terefere with your pleasure or your amusement. I have just come to pay iny respects to you. Iam the Bishop, and am going to hold services in the dance hall to-morrow morning at 11 and {n the evening at 8, and I shall be very glad to see you there,’ I remember that one of them, evidently speaking in a representa- tive capacity, thanked me fer letting them know, and asked me again the hour, and assured me they would all be present. In this way I visited all the seven saloons in the row. Coming out of one of the saloons, I suddenly encountered on the street my little friend Brother Bay, the new minister in the camp. He gave me a look of commingled surprise and pity, and with a slight touch of scorn; but no words were exchanged between us. When, after my visl- tation of the saloons, I returned to my hotel, I found Brother May with his face burled in a newspaper. He hardly delgned to speak to me. He bad been greatly shocked at seeing me emerge from a saloon. His {deals of the episcopal office had received a terrible blow. I asked him some questions. He hardly vouchsafed a reply. I tried him again. At last he put down his paper, and looking ut me with a much aggrieved expres- sion, said, ‘Look here, Bishop, didn’t [ see you coming out of a saloon?’ “Yes, Brother Nay, you did, and ff you had watched me, you would haye seen me coming out of seven.’ Well,’ he continued, ‘all I have to say is 1 am sadly disappointed in you.

Typhold fever deaths in New York State numbered 1554 during 1905, according to the report of Dr. Eugene H. Porter, State Commissioner of Health. Dr. Porter says that it is no exaggeration to attribute almost every one of these deaths to infected water, While there may be some doubts as to this statement, unques- tfonably many of the deaths were so caused, and there is no doubht that his recommendations for a better sanitary control of the potable water of the State should be heeded. He re.mmends legislation “providing that all plans for public water sup- plies be approved by the State Com- missioner of Health, and also to se- cure inspection of proposed and exist- ing sewer systems and water sup- plies.” MEN WHO LIVE ON STILTS. urpentine Gatherers and Sheep Herders of Parts of France. The people live on sixteen foot stilts in the remarkable turpentine growing country of France. They don these stilts after breakfast. They do not remove them again till it {s time for bed. There are two reasons for the wearing of stilts In the turpentine ‘country. One is the turpentine gath- ering. The other is the herding of the great flocks. ' ‘The turpentine comes from the maritime pine. This tree is tapped, a shingle is inserted, and from the shingle 1s hung a tiny bucket, into whjch’ the turpentine drips. The tapping process fs like that used on the American sugar maple. Young pine trees are tapped low, but with each year's passage the in- cision is made higher up, so that it 1s not long before most of the trees are tapped twenty or thirty feet from the ground. Hence the huge stilts of the work men. On these stilts they traverse the flat country, covering five or six yards with each stride, and quickly and easily collect the turpentine that overflows the little buckets hanging high up in the trees, It is for herding also that the stilts are useful. The country is very flat, and the herdsman, unless ho con- tinually climbed a tree, would be un- able to Keep all the meinbers of his huge flock in sight. But, striding about on his stilts, he commands a wide prospect; he is always, as it were, upon a hill. The stilt wearers carry a fifteen foot staff with a round, flat top like a dinner plate. When {t is lunck time, or when they are tired they plant upright under them the staff and sit down on its round, flat top. Then in comfort seated sq dizzlly high, they eat and rest and chatter —a strange sight to benold.—New Orleans Times-Democrat. . New Spellings.

A SCHOLARLY SUNDAY SERMON BY _ THE REV. DR. D, G. DOWNEY, Subject: The Full-Orbed Life. morning on the subject, “The Full- orbed Life.” His text was John xilt., part of the first and‘third verses: “When Jesus knew that His. hour was come,” and “Jesus, knowing that He was come from God and went to God,” and he safd: ° To Jesus of Nazareth life was never merely a chance. It never was “just hapened so” to Him. To Him it-was always opportunity. He concelved Himself, I think, from very early life, as a man of destiny with a work to do, a task to be ac- complished and a trust to be ful- filled. In the morning of His life He said: “Wist ye not that I must be about My Fether's business?" All through His, career there was the evidence that He thought and felt that some important worl: would surely come to Him. Frequently He gave expression to this in some such form as when He sald, “Now am I straightened until it is accom- plished.” Nevertheless, wo are told that He “set His face steadfastly to- ward-Jerusalem,” Now, while it is true that Jesus conceived Himself as a man of destiny, with a word to do and a task to be accomplished, it 4g noticeable that He never allowed Himself to7be hurried toward the avcomplistimant of His task. If you have over noticed that, I think’ you will be a llttle surprised to see how often it‘is said that His hour had not yet come. He Himself sald, “My time ts not yet.” “My hour 13 not yet come,” “The time is not ripe,” and. just as He did not allow Himself to be hurried, so He wéver permitted Himself to he. diverted from the main purpose of His life. Men tried to make Him king by force. Many of them expected that at that time He would set up the kingdom .of Israel, overthrow the Roman power and be the Israelite leader, and, He told them plainly that He would “not be diverted from the saying, “My kingdom 1s not of this world.” But with all this, Jesus knew that His hour would surely come and th) entirety of His‘life was the preparation for fulfilling His hour, for meeting that hour when {t came, and for completing His life. Every man’s hour, it seems to me, comes when he can freely and fully express the thoughts and con- victious that have been growing and deepening in His soul. It is surely a great moment when some voice sounds in the soul and says: “Now is thy hour; this is thy opportunity. Reveal thyself; show the world what is in thee; express thy nullity or ca- pacity; now is thy time to speak and to do.” Self-expression and the out- speaking of what {s In a man, his true inner and deeper self, this is the joy and glory of life. it is sad that many never achleve this. Some, we must admit, do not seem to get ho opportunity, but others through cowardice, time servers, trimmers, who are always wondering what the world will think and what their fel- ow men will say, not asking what s the truth and the right thing to io, not daring to stand before the vorld and speak thelr word and do heir deed without thought of con- equences, never achieve this joy and slory. 2? Jesus came to His supreme oppor- unity toward the close of His life, aw it coming and met ft with the igh courage and tho gay cheer of he valiant soldier. It seems to‘me hat ‘we misconcelve very larsely heso last acts in the life of Jesus. Ve have dwelt so much upon the adness and the suffering and looked t the sentimental side, and these aye had, I think, sometimes too] arge a place {n our thoughts; for, fter all, we must see that It was |’ or this very purpose that He came |. nto the world, and that His life: ould have been an utter failure |’ ut for this glorious culmination. To |’ esus the cross was not merely a|’ matter of sadness and sorrow. |} hink that, somehow, as He faced-|} hese closing acts of His life that He aced them with joy and ‘cheer and |‘ trengthened courage. He recog- ized that after all this thing was|' he crowning joy and glory of His| areer. Here and now as never be-|! re had the opportunity come to|§ im, not only to think His thouekt, | ut to speak His word and do His | j eed and live out His life and glorify od and to havo God glorified in| im.

He was not ready for His task be- fore His hour had come. He could not have achieved His destiny at the age of twelve or twenty ¥ ‘twenty- five, not “until the Lour and the man met. There were times when He might have put Himself in the power of His enemies, but He hid Himself, and by and by He saw the elements gathering and, recognizing His own strength and ‘knowing the will of God and seeing that the storm was about to break, the storm of hatred, and jealovsy, and envy, and false pride, with the step of the soldier and the mien and aspect of a moral and spiritual hero, He went up to Jerusalem, and men marveled, He knew His hour was come. He was about to be glorified, and God was to to glorified in Him, He had: been thinking and speal:ing and teaching, and now He was to exemplify and illustrate and glye special proof of the troth of all that He had sald. He was destined to he cast out, yet He thoroughly understood that the time was coming when His spiritual supremacy-and kinghood would be acknowledged to the limits of the earth and to the bounds of time. And how stands it this morning? Do we not see that He ts the spiritual {deal of the race? The race is not turning to Ce-fuclus, or Buddha, or Mahomet. ‘hey have elements of truth, but the highest good and the supreme truth are with the young Pzophet of Nazareth. He'ls the $pir- itual king and the spiritual leader of the race, and all turn to Him as flowers turn sunward to derive beauty and life. 1am sure, also, there must have been great joy in the mind of Jesus when He, at last, could speak the words He wanted to speak. In the temple He stood alone—one against the city. He must have had rich joy ‘when He was.able to give araple ex- ‘pression to His thought concerning the simplicity of the way of ap- proach unto God—the right of every man, without the {otervention of syn- agogue, or church, or priest, or rit- ual; to come Himself, in His own personality, unto God: “God is a Spirit, and they that worship Him. must worship Him in spirit and in truth.” Again, when His disciples had been quarreling among them- selves as to who should be the great- est, once more He had an opportunity to express Himself, not only to teach, but to live out, His thought. He girded Himself with a towel and washed their feet, and sald: “Let him who would be great among you be your servant.” What high joy Ho must have had as He not only revealed His word, but by His action, for all time—for the generations yet unborn—taught the truth of the dig- nity of service; and if to-day the world is moving toward a wider brotherhood, if we are thinking not so much of ourselves and more of our neighbors, it fs becatise He per- formed that lowly service. He had been talking, also, about faith; that God was their Father and that He would never desert those who put their faith in Him, In the hour. of awful blackness, of excruciating physical and mental agony, His faith rose triumphant. Ab! there was the supreme triumph of His faith. Not in the words He had spoken, but in the life He lived and in the way fn which He met the awful tragedy and in the glorious, culmination of His earthly life. The practical cpplication of all this is uot difficult. All men have some sense of destiny, some con- sciousness of a call, some feeiing with respect to conduct. Every man has moments of Godlike aspirations. Surely, there come to us in mo- ments of high, spiritual-endowment, when the soul knows what it ought (0 do for, its trlumph or undoing, and man's time shall come when he is true to the revelation of -truth that {s in him, when he expresses in nis speech and life the convictions that have grown in moments of su- preme inspiration and insight. The mighty men of the world are the men who have been able to do this. There was Paul and Martin Luther and John Wesley and Abraham Lincoln, 0d pours into some men more,than He is able to pour Into others, be- ause they are able to receive more. While it is true that we cannot all @ geniuses and giants, it is also true hat every man may live his com- ete, full-orbed life. He may feel irst that he has come from God; hat his destiny fs to return to God, nd his business is to breathe in the eaching and love and spirit of the nfinite Father, and day by day be rue to the beautiful, pure and nobie uggeations that God wiil breathe nto him. If a man will do this here is no question of his influence. ‘he history of Jesus is proof posi- ive on the point. He lived His life ruly and loyally, and His world, rhich is the universe, swings around n obedience to His truth, Ah,’ riends, if we will be as loyal in our lace' and limited sphere, the world ill be lifted up by us just as hrist’s. life-world was lifted by fim.

X remember some years ago climb- ing the Welsshorn above Zermatt Val- ley with two guides. Tifere had beena serles of severe storms and ours was the first ascent for some weeks, conse- quently we bad a great deal of step- cutting to do up the main arete. We bad left the catin at 2 jn the morning, and it was nearly 9 before we reached the summit which consisted, as did 50 many peaks in the Alps, of splintered rocks’ protruding from the enow, My Jeading guide stood aside to let me bo first on top. And I, with the long labor of the climb over and exhilarated by the thought of the great view awalting me, but forgetful of the high gale that was blowing on the other side of the rocks, sprang eagerly up them and stood erect to see the yew. The guide pulled me down. “Ontyour knees, sir, You are not safe there except on your knees."” My young friends, God lifts us all te sumuits in life; high, splendid, peril- ous. But these are nowhere more splendid or more perilous than jn our youth; summits of knowledge, of friendship, of love, of success, declares George Adam Smith. Let us, as we value our moral health, the srowth of our character and of our fitness for God's service, use erery one of them | as an altar on which to devote our | selves once more te His will. j Make Much of Your Blessings, We are too prone to. forget our present blessings. We seldom ap- preciate them until they are gone, Blessings seem to multiply as they take their filght. When they be- ‘come memories we ‘doubly prize them. Why not give them welcome while they are present with us. “Do not let the empty cup be your first teacher of the blessings you had when it was full. Seek, as a plain duty, to cultivate a buoyant joyous sense of the crowded kindnesses of God in your delly life,”"—Christian Intelligencer. As a Man Thinketh, So is He. The government of thought means Heaven or Hell. For if a man has disciplined himself to crush that thought—which may come to the purest and holiest mind—stil! better, if he has acquired the power to change the current and to turn hig thought instantly into other and no- bler channels, temptation is bafled at its very start and the man stands upon his feet victorfous, A ,man will never regulate his passfous who has never learned to regulate bis thoughts.—G, H.

J. S STEWART. Senor Duro’s Voyaae. Detalls reaching France concerning Senor Duro’s aerial voyage over the Pyrenees are of great interest for those associated with aeronautics, It appears that the trip was in the na- ture of a tour de force of selzing oc- easton by the forelock. It had not been proposed to do anything for a day or two, but a steady wind from the north setting in over Pau during Monday afternoon, Senor Duro bad his alr- ship rapidly inflated, and a dusk was setting in committed himself alone to the winds of the night, He cleared the Pyrenees over the Pile du Midi @'Ossau, at a height of 9,000 feet, traversing a furious hurricane of wind ‘and snow ibat for a time placed him in some peril. He bad to keep himself at this elevation most of the night, -by reason of the Spanish mountain chains. He obtained elfin gllmpses of cities so widely separated as Sara- gosea, Madrid and Toledo as he sped along through the dark midair, and about 4 a. m. on Tuesday the aerc- naut found that he had traversed Spain in the night from north to south. He was then over Ltares, in Granada, confronted by the great’ peak of the Slerra Nevada, nearly 11,000 feet high, with the Mediterran- ean behind it. Rather than face this prospect the senor came down at Guadix, after traversing 452 miles in ten and a half hours—a fine express speed.—London Globe. , | ‘The Navy's Markomanship. _ £he criterjon of target practice is the actual number of hits per min- ute," says Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte. “Many ships now average between 75 and 90 per cent of hits with all thelr main-battery guns, whereas In former days the percent- age was rarely over 40, even though firing slowly at a target more than seven times as, large as the present one, Then the target was 100 feet long and 25 feet high; to-day It ts 21 feet long and 12 feet high. ‘This in- crease in hitting ability fs due to the assiduous training in the target prac- tices which have been carried out un- der the new system adopted and also to improvement fn ordnance. Going back to 1898, when the navy was using black owder and when sights and other paris of the equipment were porly developed, our firing was both slow and inaccurate. At that time it was conzidered satisfactory it 4 12inch gun fired one shot in five minutes. But with each subsequent improvement in ordnance the rapid! y was somewhat increased, and by car- rying out systematic target practice the present striking efficiency has been attained.

Some improvement in the growing cotton crop was noted during the past week, the few days of clear weather and warm sunshine bettering the condition somewhat, but the plant shows the effect of long continued and excessive rains in the earlier period of its growth, and the stalk is sickly and yellow in a great many portions of the state. The crop is at least three weeks late, taking the average of the state, and has been but poorly worked, owing to the rains and scarcity of labor. Much depends upon fair and warm weather now and the ability to obtain labor. . . . State Pensions Show Increase; The report of State Pension Commissioner J. W. Lindsey for the period beginning December 31, 1905, and ending June 1, 1906, shows that the total amount of pensions paid out was $907,748.58 against $393,609.40 for the same period last year. The number of pensioners was 15,297 against 15,065 last year. The report shows an increase of 232 pensioners and $14; 679.18 in pensions. The indigent soldiers put on the roll for the first time this year numbers 1,003, indigent widows, 311; disabled soldiers, 54; old class widows, 2, showing a total increase of 1,270 pensioners. The total loss from rolls by death and otherwise this year amounts to 1,138. Georolans Invited Home. Governor Terrell will soon issue his Georgia home coming proclamation. This event promises to be the greatest feature of the state fair in Atlanta. The railroads have made practically a one-fare rate for the round trip from all over the South and Southeast, tickets good to November 1. In the course of a week or two Governor Terrell will appoint a commissioner to represent every county at the nome coming. Secretary Frank Weldon's correspondence indicates that thousands of former Georgians are coming back to their mother state next October. A very large number will come from Texas. When the program is made up, an invitation will be sent to Col. R. M. Johnson, owner of the Houston Post, to take a prominent part in the exercises. Colonel Johnson is one of the best known men in Texas. He was formerly from South Georgia. A New Market Product. The state agricultural department will advocate cultivation of sage and sweet basil in this state by the farmers as a market project. In a letter received from Philadelphia a few days ago by the agricultural commission, information was sought concerning the names of farmers and merchants in Georgia who might grow the said article. It develops that none of the two herbs are grown to any extent by Georgia farmers. For this reason the agricultural department will advocate especially that truck farmers grow it for market, as both are of great medical use with large medicine manufacturing concerns in different sections of the country. Bryan May Visit Georgia. It is possible that the Georgia State Fair Association at Atlanta will have as its guest during the October fair Hon. William Jennings Bryan, prospective democratic candidate for president. In reply to a cable from Governor Terrell informing him of the action of the general assembly and the State Agricultural Society inviting him to the state fair next October, Mr. Bryan has written from London as follows: "My dear Governor: I am in receipt of your cable and am sorry that I cannot answer positively. "I need not assure you that I appreciate the honor done by me by the fair and by the general assembly, but I am not sure that I can get there in October." "If it were the middle of September I would accept at once, for I must go to Southwest Virginia with my daughter at the opening of her school, September 13th, but as I shall be at home only a short time, I may not be able to make another trip in that direction at the time of your fair. I can answer after I reach home and see what plans have been made for October. "My greetings to your people until I can meet them face to face." At the time the letter was written Mr. Bryan had not received the message from the Georgia Weekly Press Association, which contained an invitation from that body to visit Georgia during the fair. A committee from the fair association will meet Mr. Bryan at New York on his return from Europe and will press upon him an acceptance of the invitation. Governor Terrell, who is a member of the reception committee which is arranging a reception for the famous Nebraskan on his return, will see Mr. Bryan and has promised to urge him to come to Atlanta. Another Turn in Rawlings Case. Another Turn in Hawlings Case. Old man J. G. Rawlings will not be hanged at Valdosta Friday, after all, as Saturday morning Judge Emory Speer, in the Federal court at Macon, granted an appeal to Attorney Cooper and the case now goes before the United States supreme court next October. When Cooper went before Speer early Saturday morning he applied for habeas corpus proceedings in order to stay the execution of sentence. The judge said no. Cooper appealed from the decision on the grounds that there were no preachers upon the jury that tried Rawlings, and Rawlings himself had been a preacher of the gospel for six years. This turn of the tide brought Judge Speer's action and Mr. Cooper announces he will appeal to the pardon board for the boys. He will ask for a commutation of the sentence to life imprisonment. Judge Speer's action will stay the execution. NEGROES HONOR GEN. JACKSON. Memorial Window Unveiled in Colored Church, at Roanoke, Va. A handsome memorial window of General "Stonwall" Jackson was unveiled in the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church (colored) at Roanoke, Va., Sunday. The window was erected by the pastor, Rev. L. L. Downing, the money for its purchase coming wholly from the negroes. The exercises were largely attended by both races, the Confederate camps of Roanoke and Salem and the chapters of the Daughters of the Confederacy of the same place being well represented. The chief addresses were by leading white citizens of Roanoke, Downing's father and mother were members of a Sunday School class of negro slaves taught by Jackson at Lexington before the war, and the exercises marked the realization of an ambition Downing has had since boyhood to pay fitting tribute to the Confederate commander. The picture presented on the window is that of an army camping on the banks of a stream, the inscription underneath being Jackson's last words, "Let us cross over the river and rest in the shade of the trees." BRYAN TO BLAZE THE WAY. Will Fire First Gun of Campaign at New York Reception.

Two daring train robberies were committed in Russian Poland Saturday, one of them resulting in a considerable loss of life. A train from the frontier station, Herby, bound for Czanstochowa, was carrying money received from the customs mouse to the branch of the Imperial bank under protection of seven roncon guardsmen. General Zukat, chief of the frontier guard, General Weltenring, chief of the customs service of Warsaw; Colonel Brzezicki and Captain Laguma were passengers. Fifteen persons boarded the train at a way station. They attacked the guardsmen, who were reinforced by the officers. A regular skirmish followed, in which the two generals, two officers, five soldiers and one robber were killed, and Colonel Brzezicki and one robber wounded. The robbers escaped, taking $60,000, and the arms of those who had attempted to defend the train. The second robbery was committed Saturday evening on the Warsaw-Vienna railway, six miles from Warsaw. While the train was under way unidentified persons pulled the danger signal, causing it to stop. Robbers, who were aboard, jumped out and seized the locomotive and detached the mail car from the train and ran it down the jine. They secured $37,500 of government money. The train was without a guard, and hence there was no fighting and no casualties. Efforts to capture the robbers failed. Savannah, Ga. Connections made at Port Tampa with P.
