DEMOCRATS OF GEORGIA Meet in Macon and Unanimously Name Hoke Smith for Governor. GREAT ENTHUSIASM No Other Candidate's Name Presented-Proceedings Harmonious and Work Was Quickly Done. The Georgia state democratic convention met in Macon Tuesday at noon and within six hours carried out a carefully pre-arranged program, which went through with but one hitch, that involving the state court of appeals. Hon. Hoke Smith was unanimously nominated for governor by acclamation amidst wild enthusiasm, which almost shook the great Macon auditorium. This was the principal feature for which the people were waiting and they kept calling for Mr. Smith throughout the proceedings. . J. It was nearly 5 o'clock in the afternoon when J. L. Anderson of Atlanta arose to place Mr. Smith's nomination before the convention. The appearance of Mr. Smith a few minutes later completely eclipsed the enthusiasm which greeted the mention of his name by Mr. Anderson, and it was some minutes before Mr. Smith could be heard. The assembly rose to greet him and saluted long before they allowed him to proceed. He came into the meeting escorted by a committee. James R. the recent filing him in mittemaned for.gov officers with the mary. S. G. M. mer city tem of railroad o M. Brown tober, 180 That Georgia's next governor has set for himself a hard task and that he fully realizes this was clearly evidenced in the address he made in accepting the nomination. The strong appeal to the people not to put in an independent candidate where the officeholder of the present general assembly refuses to support the views of the party, evidenced his deper feeling that the Georgia legislature might not hurry with the reform policies which he has put forward. He urged the delegates present to see their representatives and senators and urge them to stand on the platform upon which he was chosen governor, and then if they refused, ask them to get out. He said this ought to be done now. He declared that the speaker of the house, and the president of the senate should be men in accord with the platform and believed after looking over the lists that his supporters already had a working majority in the general assembly. The keynote of Mr. Smith's speech was that everybody holding state office in connection with the administration should be In favor and in line with the reforms which he had advocated so that they may be put through without delay. The Savannah Tribune. Following is in brief the story of what the convention did. Congressman T. W. Hardwick of the tenth was elected temporary chairman; Judge A. L. Millel, permanent chairman; H. H. Cabaniss of Fulton and A. L. Martin of Bibb were elected permanent secretaries. N. J. Norman was declared elected solicitor general of the Atlantic circuit over the protest of Livingston Kenan, who contested the election. The platform as introduced and read by James R. Gray, chairman of the platform and resolutions committee, was adopted with only one change, the majority rule as to counties, senatorial and congressional districts being stricken out. The state court of appeals amendment was indorsed, but the convention took no action regarding candidates, that being left an open matter for the new state committee. A resolution was adopted favoring legislation which will prevent liquors being carried into counties which have voted in favor of prohibition under the local option law. A resolution was adopted endorsing E SMITH. James R. Gray and his services in the recent campaign and recommending him for national democratic committeeman. Hoke Smith was nominated for governor, and other state house officers were nominated in accordance with the result of the recent primary. S. G. McLendon of Thomasville, former city attorney for the Plant system of railways, was nominated for railroad commissioner to succeed Jos. M. Brown, whose term expires in October, 1907. A new executive committee was chosen, consisting of four members from each congressional district and eleven members from the state at large, to be named within the next few days by Chairman A. L. Miller. Hooper Alexander of DeKalb was made vice chairman of the state committee. The convention then adjourned sine die. Many new changes were proposed in the platform which forms an interesting document in state politics. DEPUTY KILLS HIS ASSISTANT. Young Man, Mistaken for Negro Fugitive, Is Shot Dead. B. C. Elmore, deputy sheriff of Tattnall county, Georgia, shot and instantly killed Jesse Branch, a young white man of Reldsville. Elmore, together with Branch and two other young men, went to the house of a negro in the country to arrest him. The negro tried to escape through a window, which occasioned both Elmore and Branch to run to that end of the house, and each, thinking the other was the negro, raised their pistols. Elmore fired, shooting Branch through the breast. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 8, 1906. FEATURES OF PLATFORM Adopted by Georgia State Democratic Convention—Drastic Changes Are Demanded—Bryan Indorsed. Following are some of the important features of the platform adopted by the Georgia state democratic convention: We rejoice at the news from so many states and cities of the republic, that the people are studying their rights, and are determined to assert them. The protective tariff taxes the masses of the people to fill the pockets of the few. The great body of the people throughout the United States have suffered during recent years from the inexcusable burdens placed on them by the trusts, forcing up the prices of what the masses have to buy, and forcing down the prices of what the masses have to sell. We urge the next democratic national convention to make an open, plain attack upon these monopolies and present the necessity for their suppression as an issue before the people. These issues must culminate in the political battle of 1903, when the democratic voters will rally to the standard of our great leader, William Jennings Bryan. The democracy of Georgia pledges its earnest and loyal support to the cause of the people in that struggle. With an abiding faith in the justice of our causes, we give hearty endorsement to the great commoner from Nebraska, and earnestly declare in favor of his nomination for the presidency as the man of all others who will lead the democratic hosts to certain victory. We condemn the system by which the great railroad corporations of the country have been permitted to issue fabulous amounts of fictitious watered stocks and bonds, many times in excess of the values of the property upon which they are based. We look upon this great evil as the primary cause of excessive freight rates. We declare it to be the policy of the democratic party of Georgia that hereafter all primary elections for United States senators, state house officers, supreme court and appellate court judges, should such latter court be created, shall be by direct popular vote. The candidate who, upon the consolidation of the votes throughout the entire state, receive a majority of all the votes cast, shall be declared the nominee of the party for that office. If no candidate shall receive a majority of the total vote cast, the two candidates for any office receiving the highest number of votes cast, and no others, shall run in a second primary, and the candidate receiving a majority of the votes cast, in the second primary shall be declared the party's nominee. For judges and solicitors, nominations shall be by plurality of the votes cast on their respective circuits. The white primary envolved out of our perplexities, is a marvelous triumph of self government, and should always be retained and strengthened. Back of it, however, stands the lowering threat that whenever the hosts of privilege need support, they will seek to divide our people by means of corrupt and venal negro vote, retain balance of power. We favor the adoption of an educational qualification for voting along the lines followed by our sister states of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. The amendment ought to be so drafted as to exclude the largest possible percentage of the ignorant and purchaseable negro vote, under the limitations imposed by the federal constitution. At the same time, it must be carefully drawn so as to protect and safeguard in their right to vote and to provide for the permanent registering for life of all citizens who have served in any of the wars in which this country has been engaged, and their descendants, and also all persons of good character who understand the responsibilities and duties of citizenship under republican form of government. We believe this result can be obtained by an amendment to our constitution substantially similar to the suffrage provision of the recent constitution of the state of Alabama, with such changes or modifications as may be necessitated by local conditions in Georgia. We pledge the faith of the democratic party to the people of Georgia that the democratic members of the general assembly to be chosen in the ensuing election shall in good faith and without delay submit such an amendment to the people for their ratification or rejection in the general election to be held in October. THIEF IS RUN DOWN Bank-Wrecker Stensland is Nabbed in Morrocco. TRAILED FROM CHICAGO His Objective Point Was Betrayed by a Chicago Woman Whom He Had Scorned — American Sieuths Located Him in Tangler. A cablegram to the Chicago Tribune from Tangler, Morocco, Monday announces the capture in that city of Paul O. Stensland, the president and manager of the Milwaukes Avenue State Bank, which closed its doors on August 6. The arrest was made by a representative of The Tribune and Assistant State's Attorney Olsen of Chicago, who have been on the trail of Stensland since August 13. Stensland had many friends among certain Chicago women, among whom he was accustomed to spend much money, and one of these, feeling that she had not been treated by him with due consideration, visited The Tribune office a few days after his flight with information regarding the direction in which he had gone: This information was somewhat indefinite, but investigation proved its probable accuracy. A representative of The Tribune was sent to State's Attorney Healey, who, at that time, was in the east, with the information and the request that a representative of the state's attorney's office be nominated to accompany The Tribune representative on the quest. The request was granted and Mr. Olsen named to go to Europe with The Tribune man. It was ascertained that Stenslandhad fied from Chicago on July 1, gone directly to New York and sailed in a steamer of the White Star line for Liverpool. He remained in that city for two days and then took a steamer for Gibraltar, which he reached on July 27. From there he took a boat for Tangler. The Tribune correspondent and Assistant State's Attorney arrived in Tangier about one hour after he had left it for a trip to the east coast of Africa. It was ascertained that he had deposited $12,000 in a bank of Tangler and believed that he would soon return, the two men decided to await nim there. A dispatch printed in the second edition of The Tribune Monday morning declared that the arrest of Stensland would be only a matter of hours and four hours later a special edition was issued declaring that the fugitive was under arrest. During the period intervening between his flight and his arrest Stensland has been going under the name of P. Olsen of Norway. It was learned before his arrest that he had figured on spending the month of October in the Canary Islands, and from there going to London, as he had ordered all his mail sent to The Metropole hotel in that city from Tangier. A reward of $5,000 had been offered for the arrest of Stensland, and since his departure from Chicago, many detectives had been on the hunt for him. Dispatches were received almost daily from all parts of the world declaring that the fugitive had been seen there. The closing of the Milwaukee Avenue State Bank on August 6 probably caused more anguish and suffering than any similar event in the west. It was followed by a number of suicides and insanity! Stensland lived a fast life, spent money recklessly, speculated and embezzled about $1,000,000 of the bank's money before the crash came. More than 11,000 families had money in the bank and the failure came as a crushing blow to the majority of them. The vast majority of the depositors were wage-earners and the money they had in the bank represented all that they had been able to save from the earnings of years. WALSH KICKS OUT OF TRACES. Prominent Iowa Democrat Resigns From National Committee. Charles A. Walsh, the Iowa member of the democratic national committee, and who was the secretary of the national committee during the two Bryan campaigns, has tendered his resignation as a member of the national committee, giving his reasons for so doing in a communication, in which he says: "For the future I intend to be in position to support, or-not support, as I may see fit, the candidates of the democratic party." BARRED BY POLL TAX. Few Negroes Voted in Arkansas Election, Which Was Carried by the Democrats by a Big Majority. In the biennial election in Arkansas Monday for state and county officers partial returns indicate that Congressman John S. Little,democratic nominee for governor, will have a majority of 50,000 over John I. Worthington, republican. The vote for John G. Adams, prohibitionist nominee for governor, may not exceed 3,000, and that for Dan Hogan, socialist, will probably reach 000. Early estimates are that of the 135 members of the senate and house at least 125 will be democrats. The democratic state nominees, other than for governor, had no opposition. Advices from the counties, where there is a large 'negro population, state that but few negroes went to the polls to vote. In Jefferson county, A. W. Speer, one of the 'negroes nominated for representative, was not allowed to vote because he had not paid his poll tax. In Little Rock, no less than three hundred negroes voted, but each had paid the poll tax. Very generally the election judges throughout the state required the exhibition of evidence that the voters had paid their poll tax. There had been a question raised as to the validity of the poll tax constitutional amendment, but as a rule, the election officials held that the amendment is valid, never having been passed upon directly by the supreme court. In cases where delinquents attempted to vote they ran the risk of having to pay not only the tax of $1, but penalties aggregating $3 as well. Indications are that the constitutional amendment, increasing the school tax levy from seven mills to ten mills, received 75 per cent of the total vote cast. NEGRO MARRIED WHITE WOMAN. Light Complected Mulatto Passed as a Caucasian Claiming that a respectable young woman of Lee county, Georgia, had married a mulatto negro, who passed himself off as a white man, the officials of that county have petitioned Governor Terrell for a reward for the capture of the negro. The governor promptly offered a reward of $100. The young woman who was married to the mulatto is Miss Eva Green, the daughter of a well-to-do farmer. The negro to whom she was married is A. T. Wilson, who is so bright a mulatto that he can easily be taken for a white man. Wilson went to Lee county and associated with white people. He met Miss Green and married her early this year. Later he skipped out. GEORGIA'S DISPENSARIES Twenty-Three Booze Tanks Are Now Operating in the State. There are twenty-three dispensaries in the state of Georgia, to which the more ardent prohibitionists would like to eliminate. Comptroller General Wright received an inquiry from a prominent railroad official as to the number of dispensaries now in operation in Georgia, and General Wright found that number existing upon examination. In one county there are four. This is Terrell county, the home of Railroad Commissioner O. B. Stevens. For years, it is said, no county tax has been levied there, the profits from the dispensaries meeting all necessities. There are three in Lee county. In two other counties there are two each. General Wright expressed surprise that there were so many. POSTOFFICE CLERKS MEET. Seventh Annual Convention of National Association at Savannah. The, seventh annual convention of the National Association of Postoffice Clerks convened in Savannah, Ga., Monday morning for a four days' session. The attendance was the largest on record. Addresses of welcome were made by Postmaster Blum and Assistant Pierce, and the response by Frank Rodgers of Chicago. CHINA TAKES WISE STEP. Emperor Promulgates Edict Promising Constitutional Liberty. The emperor of China has issued an edict promising constitutional government when the people are fitted for it. The edict says: "Now that China has intercourse with all nations our laws and political system have become antiquated, and our country is always in trouble. Therefore, it is necessary for us to gather more knowledge and draw up a new code of laws, otherwise we shall be unworthy of the trust of our forefathers and the people." NO.49. THE KING OF EXPORT Is Designation Given South's Staple by Uncle Sam. RECORD-BREAKING TRADE Total Value of Raw Cotton Sent Abroad, for the First Time In History, Goes Beyond the Four Hundred Million Mark. "Cotton is king in the export record of the United States for the fiscal year just ended." This is the introductory sentence of a statement just issued by the department of commerce and labor at Washington. Continuing the statement says: "The total value of raw cotton exported for the first time crossed the $400,000,000 line and exceeded by far the value of any other article of merchandise sent out of the country. The exports of breadstuffs of all kinds aggregated but $186,000,000, those of provisions but $211,000,000 and those of iron and steel manufactures but $161,000,000. "The value of the cotton exported has increased very rapidly during the last five years. It was not until 1901 that it crossed the $300,000,000 line, and in a short five years period it has grown to more than $400,000,000, or an increase of about 33 per cent. Cause of Growth. "This growth is due in part to an increase in the quantity exported, but in part also to the advance in price since the quantity exported in 1906 was about 700,000,000 pounds less than in 1905, while the value was $21,000,000 more than in 1905. "The exportation of manufactured cotton was also larger in 1906 than in any cariller year, aggregating practically $35,000,000, against $50,000,000 in 1905 and $22,500,000 in 1904. The growth in manufactured cotton has been quite as striking as that of raw material. "Europe la, of course, our principal customer for raw cotton. The United Kingdom took last year $177,000,000 worth, Germany $101,000,000, France $45,000,000 and Italy about $27,000,000, while the other countries of Europe took about $32,000,000 worth. Japan is also a customer for our raw cotton, but very irregular in the quantity bought, since she only buys largely of American cotton when prices are low, relying upon India and China in years when American prices are high. The value of cotton exported to Japan in the fiscal year 1906 was, in round terms, $8,000,000; in 1906, $17,000,000, and in 1904 less than $3,900,000. China Good Customer. "in manufactured cottons China is by far our largest customer. The total value of all cotton manufactures exported in the fiscal year 1906 was, as above indicated, $53,000,000, in round terms, of which about $30,000,000 went to China. Practically all of the cotton goods sent to China was in the form of cloth, the total value of cloths exported to China in the year being $29,641 1Ss, and of other cotton goods $172,887. The exports of cotton cloths to China in the fiscal year 1906 exceeded both in quantity and value those of any other earlier year, the value in 1906 being about two million dollars greater than in 1905, and the number of yards about twenty-four millions greater than in 1905. China's rank as a purchaser of American cottons is indicated by the fact that of the 11,000,000 yards of cotton cloths exported in 1906, 498,000,000 went to China, while about 133,000,000 yards went to the American countries south of the United States, and twenty-five millions to Asia other than China and Oceanic." GEORGIA CONFEDERATE REUNION To Be Held in Savannah November 13 and 14 inclusive. At a meeting in Savannah of the committee of Confederate veterans, having in charge the arrangements for the Georgia state reunion, November 13 and 14, inclusive, was chosen as the time for the reunion. Arrangements will be made to give the Georgia veterans a hospitable wel- come and a pleasant stay in Savannah.

The~’ National Négré Business League, representing 36 states, re- affirms its faith in the progress that the Negro people have made and can ioake in industrial and business direc- tious. This organization does not seek to concern itself with all the inter- ests of the race, nor does it overlook the importance of the efforts that uther organizations-are putting fort for the furtherance of the religous, mora!, educational and political bet- terment of our people. ; We-believe that the Negro race, like all races, must depend mainly for its snecess and elevation upon its_abiiity ts make progress in constructive, tan- sible, visible directions. — We believe that, In connection with educational, moral and religious . growth, we must lay the foundation in economical, agricultural, industrial and comniercial growth, 7 We believe that We should empha- size our succésses and our opportuni- ties more than cur iailures and our grievances. . We believe that there are certain great -fundamenta! principles of hu- man progress, to which if -we stead- fastly cling, our success and happiness will be assured. a We believe that the progress sind _happiness of the two rices in tite South are so interwoven that whai- ever helps the one helps the other, and that what retards the progress of the one retards the progress of the “other. To this end we especially dis- courage and ¢ondemn the crime of lyuching; we discourage and condemn the criminal ‘Negro as well as the criminals of all races as enemies to our civilization; and we extend our thanhs to the Onciais of the states that enforce the laws against lynch- ings and evildoers generally.

"Because you wrote it," he answered, with great simplicity. She frowned. "You ought to say, it's because my other stories have been so successful, and I get such nice puffs in the papers!" "Those reasons may suffice for the rest of the world, but they don't for me!" "Perhaps you expect too much!" she said, and studied her MS. deeply. "Do it?" he asked, and studied her profoundly. The clock ticked loudly and the fire crackled. "By the way!" she remarked. "You will be the first person to read this story of mine, so that I shall be impatient for your verdict!" "I'll read it to-night and report to-morrow," he assured her promptly. "Dogs the first necessitate the second?" she asked, raising her eyebrows. "As far as I'm concerned," he answered, lowering his, whereupon she held out her story with a heavenly smile; but he being of a grasping disposition, took first the MS. and then the hand that held it, and—oh!—well! The clock ticked loudly and the fire crackled. Two hours later he stood in his front hall, turning his pockets inside out by the light of the midnight oil, then he searched the front steps and examined the pavements outside, and finally patrolled a certain street to a certain house till a certain small hour of the morning, when he returned to his abode uttering unholy words. "What are you looking for?" she demanded on entering the drawing room the next morning. "Nothing," he answered, rising hastily from an evident inspection of the carpet. His face was pale, and his searching eye roamed uneasily over the furniture. "I thought you might have dropped something!" she suggested casually. "Oh, not!" he responded defiantly. So she sat down on the sofa, her face very grave, but the corner of her mouth slightly twitching. "Well, what do you think of it?" she inquired. "Oh!" he said with a start. "That story of yours? It was great, really absorbing! I assure you it kept me awake until four o'clock this morning." "And yet it is comparatively short. You must read very slowly! Do tell me what you like best about it!" "Oh, well," he floundered; "I liked it all immensely, but what appealed to me, especially was that—er—scene where the heroine—er—gets the best of it." And paying no heed to her blank looks, he hastened on into the safe waters of abstract literary criticism, saying: "In those few passages you show a breath of view, a right appreciation of value, a sense of the tonal significance, which, if I may be permitted to say so, is quite above the average." He felt that he was doing well, but at this point she brought him back to earth. "Do you think," she asked him, earnest and wide eyed, "that Gregory ought to have done it?" "Who??" he asked, staggered for a moment. "What?." And then recollecting himself—"Yes." This stoutly. "I think Gregory was perfectly justified; I don't see how, under the circumstances, he could have done otherwise. I am quite certain that in his place I should have done just the same thing." "What thing?" she asked, as she poked the fire with her back turned. Then, as he did not answer immediately, she said gently: "I don't think you quite understand what scene I referred to, but I'll show you in a moment, if you'll just hand me the MS." "The MS.?" he queried, blankly. "The MS.!" she repeated, determinedly. He took two turns up and down the room, then faced her, crimson and crestfallen. "I'm extremely sorry to tell you," he said, hoarsely, "that your MS. is —(the arctic blue of her eyes froze the truth upon his lips)—is left behind." He finished. "I hope you don't need it immediately?" "N—no," she admitted; "not today, but I must really dispatch it to the publishers-to-morrow." "All right," he said; "I'll call in the morning!" "With the MS.?" she asked him smillingly. "With the MS.!" he echoed, despairingly. And as he went out of the house he held a brief ineffectual conversation with the butler, punctuated with a five-dollar bill, and then paced the street for many hours—a prey to thoughts of forgery and flight. It was the next morning and he had been talking volubly and long on different subjects when she at length managed to get in a word. "Well," she asked; "have you got it?" "What?" he answered quickly. "The measles? No! Although you seemed to think so judging from the way in which you avoided me at the reception last night, and again at the opera afterward. You wouldn't give me so much as a bow!" "I didn't see you," she told him. "Where—where was I?" he interrupted to explain. "In the dress circle, on the opposite side, with my glasses leveled on your box." "That was a waste of time," she said in impatient, "and so is this. What is the use hiding the truth any longer? Why will you not acknowledge that you've lost my MS." "Because I haven't!" he answered doggedly. "No!!" (As she stared at him in amazement.) "If that MS. has disappeared, vanished irreparably, you are responsible, and you alone!" He strode to the door, then wheeling round, faced her. "If I forgot your story," he said harshly, "it was because I was thinking of you. If I was absent minded, it was because you were present. If I—er—lost that MS., it was because, well! I suppose I know it—I had already lost my heart. That's all. Good-bye!" And he turned to go. But she was already at his elbow, and there was something in her hand—a typewritten parcel—a MS. "It has been a pretty bad quarter of an hour, hasn't it?" she asked him, and her eyes were twinkling—"thanks to your stories and mine. But you're not going yet?" (For he was turning the door knob.) "It isn't late, and besides—" Here she looked at him, and—ah, well!— The clock ticked loudly and the fire crackled!—Valley Weekly. Odd Facts About New York. That New York City is the metropolis of the United States and is the second largest city in the world is known to every one. But New York really is much more than that. A writer in the Search Light says: Greater New York, the second city of the globe, might be called "the island city of the world," for it contains forty-five islands, as many islands as there are States in the Union. The city pays each year to run its government about one-third as much as Uncle Sam spends to govern the nation. New York's annual budget is greater that that of any other five American cities combined. New York is over twice the size of the Danish West Indies and is larger than Chicago and Philadelphia combined. The most crowded block in the city is on the west side, where over 4000 people live in less than four acres of ground. Its population is 4,014,304, its increase in five years being a larger population than that of the city of Boston. The Germans in New York, by birth and parentage, would make a city equal to Leipsic and Frankforton-Main combined; the Austrians and Hungarians, Trieste and Flume; the Irish, Belfast, Dublin and Cork; the Italians, Florence; the English and Scotch, Aberdeen and Oxford; the Poles, Poltava in Russia. One-seventh of the population are Jews, and they equal the population of Maine. There are more people living in New York City than in fourteen of our States and Territories: Arizona, Delaware, Montana, Nevada, Indian Territory, Idaho, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah, Wyoming and Vermont. One out of every twenty-one persons in the United States, or one member of every four families, live in New York City—the others live out of town.—Scrap Book. Smoke Nulsance in New York. Electric light is a great convenience, and even a necessity, but we need not barter our glorious sunlight to obtain it. There are some nuisances entailed by modern progress which must be endured, but for the smoke nuisance there is no excuse. Bituminous coal can be burned without this willful waste of carbop, and it is strange that those in charge of power houses and other large consumers of soft coal should not see that the prevention of smoke by suitable devices, or even by more careful stoking, would effect a very appreciable economy in fuel. They should be made to see it. One by one the great cities of the East are being devoured by the black smoke beast—even tidy Philadelphia is becoming grimy and soot-soiled—and if New York is to be saved speedy and energetic action must be taken by the health commissioner. We have gone back to dirty streets, but let us at least keep the air clean.—From the Medical Record. A BRILLIANT SUNDAY SERMON BY REV. EDWARD LAWRENCE HUNT. Subject: "That They Might Have Life." Washington, D. C.—The Rev. Edward Lawrence Hunt, on Sunday preached the following brilliant semen from the text: "I came that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."—John 10:10: Jesus' object was to give men life. His church preaches this through her chief sacrament: "My flesh I give for the life of the world." "Oh, the wild joys of living! * * * The hunt of the bear"—are these the President's holiday words or Browning's?· Even that life is the gift of God through Jesus Christ, "without whom was not anything made that was made." Physical life is good. There is something better. The "high man" who "would not discount life, as fools do," who would "not live thus, but know" is "still loftier than the world suspects." There is something higher still. "To know" is not eternal life, but to know God—and the gift of God is eternal life, through Jesus Christ. "This is life eternal, that they might know Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent." To give man that life, Jesus must come. "I came that they might have life." Why could not the living Creator give that life by His mere word? First, because death had passed upon all men, for all sinned. The God of Law, who breathed into man's nostrils the lifes of life, when man became a living soul, ordained the law. "The soul that sinneth, it shall die"; or, to put the same truth in other words: The God of Love warned man that "the wages of sin is death." Man scorned love's warning and sinned. Then felt within him that sin-is a fatal disease. SQ came Jesus to put away sin by His death, that as sin reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness, unto, eternal life through Jesus Christ. "Grace" means He died for our sins that we, set free from sin, made alive unto God, might live. He came, then, to free us from that death which means separation from the living God; to reconcile us to God in one only way, by death, so that here on earth we might live with God. And, further, He came to free us from the fear of that death which is the blowing out of the candle. By rising from the dead, and so bringing life and immortality to light by His Gospel, He inspires the hope of immortality. Hence we do not Stretch lame hands of faith and grope, And faintly trust the larger hope, but we lay strong hold on the hope set before us, as an anchor of the soul, sure and steadfast, entering into that within the vell. This eternal life must be laid hold of by man, "I came that they might," not must. Man gets it by faith: "He that liveth and believeth on Me shall never die." It is "whosoever believeth" that "need not perish, but have eternal life." Remember eternal life is not mere duration. Jesus is the quality. How, not how long, we live; and because of quality, endurance: "No one is able to snatch them out of My Father's hand." To know God, to share His life, to walk in love with Him until God is tired of you, means to live with Him forever. Second, He came because man must have a teacher and an example of the best life. "If when we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by His life." Jesus' life is the hope of the race. One man has lived in the fullest healthy exercise of all his powers—no man need despair. The ideal has been realized. He has also given us the secret of success. It is willing surrender to God. It is to learn God's purposes and with loving sympathy work them out with Him. This involves first and always the destruction of selfishness. It means we must follow Christ. And "If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross. For he, that will gain his life, shall lose it: but he that will lose his life for My sake shall find it." Except a corn of wheat shall fall into the ground and die, it abideth by itself alone. But if it die it shall live abundantly. What a pitiable time the mean, selfish man must have to abide alone here on earth with the grasping fellow even he himself despises. And if at last, in disgust at himself, he should follow the example of a Judas (whose association with Jesus gave him at least enough conception of a true manhood to be enough disgusted with himself to kill himself)—then? Then he must keep on "abiding by himself alone," for ever with a murderer, alone. Judas—Jesus! Grasping—giving! Which will you follow? If you would live you must first wish for it. One object of Jesus' life was to awaken your desire for the fullest life. Contrast, then, your life with His, with the life of the best character you know, with the man you hoped in your youth's beset dreams you might some day be. Note the appalling railroad wreck of the past week. Read its allegory. See two pictures—the freight car loaded with blessing; two cars with dynamite with power for good; the passenger train with its freight of souls. What thrill of the music industry in the song of the whizzing wheels and the whishushsh of the greeting as the two iron steeds of strength and speed, fed with black bread from the heart of the earth, rush past, cach on its own track! Few sights are beautiful. But look again. Some freight cars leave their track, fall across the other's track—and woe! the sickening, sightless horror of the wreck; the groans of the dying, the ghastly dead unknown. It's the lesson of our life, with its trains of body and spirit—on their God-laid tracks fraught with blessing. Earth has no picture more beautiful than man, all his powers in fullest play in harmony, soul help- ing flesh as flesh helps soul. But look again. The lusts of the flesh throw both from their God-laid tracks. Hell has no picture more hideous. Oh, man, wrecked by selfishness, Jesus came to redeem you and set you again on the right tracks; to throw open the tracks of new life to you. Watch His life qn earth of transcendent glory and follow Him. The trains are running on the Pennsylvania system to-day and travel is even safer. Third,—Jesus came, because only by Himself becoming the vine of humanity could God's life flow into man's in a way to sustain and develop a free manhood. Only by this infusion of Christ's life can weak man follow Him and grow like Him. "I am the vine, ye are the branches." "Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood ye have no life in you." "I am the living bread, the bread of God which cometh down from Heaven and sveth life unto the world." A shallow infidel with flippant wint called this the "cannibalism of the church." This is not a church question. It is as practical as the call of the doctor on which your life depends. It is more vital. Jesus cares little about our formal worship. He cares much about our daily conduct. He cares most about our real motives, our innmost life. The most superficial thought must convince any man that we can have no life save from the God in whom we live and move and have our being; and, furthermore, that we must receive His life through the channels of His own appointing. His channel for us is the Son of Man. "If ye abide in Me and My words abide in you, you shall ask what ye will of life and it shall be yours. If any man live not in Me, he will be a withered branch and be burned. If you live in Me, God will break forth into glory of abundant fruit in your life. Your joy will be full, your peace undisturbed, a puzzle to men in the world of trouble, your strength as the strength of God." Richard Mansfield's most thrilling sentence is, when as the prince, deprived of a natural childhood and youth, with the vohement passion of a mighty stream which suddenly bursts the dam which had long restrained its natural flow, he says to his fellow students: "We are young, and we're going to live." This hunger and thrust for life, abundant life, Jesus approves. Even to those who, in their eager infatuation for life, choose "the way that seemeth right unto a man, but whose end is death." Jesus speaks: "I came that you might hare life. He that cometh to Me shall never hunger, and he that believeth in Me shall never thirst." Come to Jesus, and your youth will have all your eyes and heart can crave. Oh, man about to turn away unconvinced, take a few Sabbath hours to see the life He lived, and that you may live with Him—to imagine the face and bear the accents of the Prince of Life when He said to His contemporaries in Palestine as He says to His contemporaries in America to-day: "You will not come unto Me that you might have life." Faithful Stewardship. One of the plainest duties of stew. ardship is that we bring conscience and deliberate consideration to bear upon our administration of this world's goods. We are not faithful stewards if we spend according to our own whim and fancy, and let "charity" depend, as it so often does, on little better than accident or habit. We are stewards in regard to what we spend on ourselves and our families, as well as in what we spend for purposes beyond ourselves; our personal and domestic expenditure, our savings and our gifts, and the proportion between them should all equally pass under the inspection of deliberate conscience. If that were once thoroughly understood and practised by us, we should be very different people, and there would be very different results from many an appeal that is made to us. Stewardship means deliberation, and intelligent consideration, and conscientious disposal and administration as of a fund that is not mine, but is put into my hand.—The Rev. Alexander McLaren. The Livery of Christ. If you wear the livery of Christ you will find Him so meek and lowly of heart that you will find rest unto your souls. He is the most magnanimous of captains. There never was His like among the choicest of princes. He is always to be found in the thickest part of the battle. When the wind blows cold He always takes the bleak side of the hill. The heaviest end of the Cross lies over His shoulders. If He bids us carry a burden. He carries it also. His service is life, peace, joy. Oh, that you would enter on it at once. God help you to enlist under the banner of Jesus Christ.—Last words of the Rev. C. H. Spurgeon. What Prayer Gives. Prayer gives serenity, calmness, peace, trust, after the anxieties of expectancy; the exultations of success, the agonies of sorrow and bereavement. What is prayer, that it will make us thus tranquil and joyous, thus calm and trustful? What is prayer, that it purifies and exalts us, helps us to live worthy and hopefully? It is an unrepressible sense of want seeking supplies from the the Infinite Fulness. It is aspiration climbing along the craggy pathways to the Fountain of all joys and fruitions—George Simmons. The Spirit-Filled Life. The Spirit-filled life is empty of self. When Christ comes in self goes out. The two are incompatible. When Jesus begins to reign He dehones selfishness and pride. If there is to be a new life, there must be an utter surrender of the old will, with all its ways. The presence of God in a person's heart is proved by a character of unselfishness and service. It is impossible for Christ to dwell in a selfish heart, for to do so would be to share an idol's throne.—Ram's Horn. AMONG THE MASONS. The intelligent fight that has been waged against compact Masonry is having its effect and soon all of these clandestine lodges will be wipbed out and good men will not be duped any more. It is an excellent thing for the brothren at times to go over their obligations and thoroughly inculcate same. If these obligations would be well studied and acted upon the upward tendency would be greater. As Masons, promptness should be one of the cardinal points. If a lodge adopts a certain hour to begin meeting let the members, especially the officers, be there at that time. Worshipful Masters must see that the meetings are not prolonged. One hour is sufficient for any lodge to transact its regular business. Of course, exception is made for initiation nights. The Grand Chapter of the Eastern Star for the state of Illinois and its jurisdiction, which includes Iowa and Minnesota, has just closed its seventeenth annual session in the city of Quincy, Ill., which was the most successful meeting in the history of this society—with a representative from each Chapter, and with a few exceptions all made a splendid report. This society has among its membership many of the leading ladies of the three states.—Bystander. Masonry takes the man in the rough state of imperfection and teaches him what all of us need, which is charity; that charity which changes his nature and develops in him that sense of feeling for those who are dependent upon him. It also teaches submission, which is essential to good government and good government is the strength and support of our order.-D. F. Mason, Idaho. Every faithful Christian is entitled to Masonic wages. He has received instruction by which, if necessary, he may travel into foreign countries, work and carn wages. But in a higher sense he may have wages. He may spiritualize all the Masonic institution he has received; may accept all the light the Holy Bible imparts and live accordingly, and thus may be prepared to travel into that country from whence there is no return, and there receive a Master's wages forevermore. Indeed, if he fails in this then he fails in all—Ex. Masonry condemns gluttony, parsimony, inscantiousness, pride, rapipe, fissure, over-axertion, slothfulness, self-fish, ambition, superstition, frenzy, hatred, obsequiousness and haughtiness; Masonry teaches the "golden mean" in all things—material and spiritual—hence it is at variance with the extremist, the ungenerous parishan and the intolerant moralist. It says, pray, but not idolatrously; work, but not incessantly; have faith, but shun blind credulity; hope, but in consonance with reason; be serious, but not fearfully solemn; be strong, but not a gladiator; be wise, but avoid pedantia; egotism; be self-controlled, but not stolidly phlegmatic—Mystic Light. Ill. J. H. Walker of Macon, deputy of the United Supreme Council, 33d degree Mason of the Southern Jurisdiction and Grand Junior Warden of the Grand Lodge of Georgia, is expected in the city next Sunday. In the afternoon at 5:30 o'clock he will meet with the breuiren who are members of the convention for the higher degrees. Each brother is expected to be present. "Truth is a divine attribute," and it would be well for some of us to hew to that line. NERGO ENTERPRISES. The fact that Negro printing houses, Negro newspapers and Negro enterprises of every kind are a real necessity, if the race is eyer to amount to anything should inspire our ministers, leaders and business men to do all in their power to, help them succeed, at least to patronize him, thereby setting the example and teaching their followers likewise: Much of the said neglect and disregard on the part of a certain class of our leaders and business men is due to a failure on their part to duly consider the condition, the needs and best interests of the race. Just think of colored men who are now in good circumstances, doing a prosperous business and enabled to reach this point through the friendship and patronage to his own race, still he gives all of his patronage to the opposite race, takes the money that he gets almost entirely from his own people and spends it to build up and strengthen enterprises of another race. Not long since the writer called upon several colored business men. They were complaining about the lack of patronage from our people. Upon investigation we found that not one of them were taking nor advertising in a Negro paper. They were having their jobs done in Jim crow print shops, where the Negro is not even allowed to dust the cases, much less set type. Many Negro business men who are daily receiving pennies from laboring colored men and washer-women would not even go to a Negro newspaper office to buy old papers for wrapping purposes, although they could save money by so doing. Some Negro preachers will preach all day Sunday on the love of Jesus and get up Monday morning calling for a white paper and if he reauses a Negro paper at all it must be free gratis. How unmindful they appear to be of the brotherhood, love and charity that they should entertain toward their own people, especially when it is very clear to their vision that they are struggling under severe oppression, their burdens are heavy and that they are striving under many disadvantages for existence and livelihood. No white man with Christian attainments will object to or condemn these sentiments, unless he show a deal of inconsistency. He would not dare to teach you contrary to his own way of thinking and acting. If there is anything in which the Anglo-Saxon have set us an unmistakable example, it is how to tighten the ties that bind races together. We copy their other examples, why not this one?-Ex. BANK LOOTERS ARRESTED Alleged Allies of Self-Slain Banker Hipple Must Face Courts and Prison Under Theft Charge. Charged with having defrauded the depositors of the Real Estate Company of Philadelphia, out of many millions of dollars, Adolph Segal, a promoter of many enterprises, William North, the treasurer of the company, and Marshall S. Collingwood, the assistant treasurer, were arrested Wednesday at the instance of District Attorney Bell, who has spent nearly a week in investigating the affair of the wrecked institution. Segal was held in $25,000 ball and the trust company officers in $10,000 each. They entered the bond and will be given a nearing at once. This turn in affairs of the company is only one of the man sensations expected to develop in connection with the failure, which it is estimated will exceed $10,000,000 before the receiver finishes his investigation. The affidavits accompanying the warrants were sworn to by Alter C. Brown, a depositor. They aver that Segal, North and Collingwood, with Frank H. Hipple, the president of the company, who committed suicide, and with other persons defrauded the trust company out of "many millions of dollars," and that they fraudulently applied the money to their own use. It is further alleged that Segal was an abetter to the embezzlement of the many millions of dollars, and that North committed perjury in knowingly having furnished to the commissioner of banking of Pennsylvania false reports of the value of the company's assets, resources and liabilities. Collingwood and North are also accused of having received money from depositors after they knew the company was insolvent. No other arrests are expected at this time, and the "divers other persons" mentioned in the warrants was inserted for the purpose of covering any other persons who might hereafter be found to have been implicated in the collapse of the trust company. Adolph Segal, who is looked on as the principal in the failure of the institution, had nothing to say after his arrest. He contented himself by referring all persons to his attorneys. Segal is a promoter of many enterprises in Philadelphia and throughout the state of Pennsylvania. To carry on his operations he borrowed, Receiver Earle says, more than $3,000,000, for which he gave to President Hipple, the only man in the bank he dealt with, securities that were insufficient. WIFE'S BLUFF IS CALLED. Gress Will Donate $5,000 to Charity. If Charges Are Proved. G. V. Gress, the well known Georgia lumberman, whose wife recently brought suit for divorce against him on statutory grounds, has issued a card to the public in defense of himself, in which he says: "Mrs. Mary N. Gress has for the third time brought suit against me for divorce. In her petition she charges me with infidelity, which charges heretofore in all cases have proven untrue. "Three years ago I published a card offering $5,000 donation to the orchans' home at Decatur, Ga., to any party who could prove my infidelity without perjury, and that offer is still standing good." DAGOES FIGHT CONSTABULARY. Bicody Battle With "Black Hand" In Pennsylvania Town. In a bloody battle Sunday evening at the Florence mine, near Punxutawney, Ia., between foreigners and the twenty-one members of Troop I, state conurbary, in which fully 500 shots were fired, two troopers were killed and one fatally wounded, while three other persons received bullet wounds. The murderers were surrounded in a house and further loss of life is feared, for the besieged Italians are well supplied with arms and ammunition. The trouble began when Sergeant Logan went to Florence to search for Leopold Carlatt, who is charged with shooting his brother-in-law PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY, BY THE TRIBUNE, PUBLISHING CO. 116 W.

THE people know fully well how THE TRIBUNE stands on issues respecting the race. THE colored citizens are against jim-crow cars of every description, especially in the street cars. AFTER next Wednesday THE TRIBUNE will be able to give our people wholesome advice; till then keep quiet. THERE should be a common ground upon which our men can agree and at this time especially every colored man, woman and youth should unite in asking city council not to adopt either of the two ordinances on the jim-crow question. GENERAL QUENTIN BANDERA, the famous leader of the colored Cubans, who was recently ambuscaded and killed, was a soldier of undaunted courage. In the war for Cuban independence, he proved an intrepid leader and won a claim to fame. NEXT Wednesday night the two jim crow car ordinances presented at the last regular meeting of the City Council will be voted upon. The members of council should be very careful in acting for the best interest of the entire people regardless of race. The two races in this city have been getting along amicably and there has been no serious trouble about riding on the street cars. Council should table the two ordinances. APROPOS the trouble between Brownsville, Texas, and the Colored garrison of Fort Brown, it may be worth while to state that there are four regiments of Negro troops in the army; the Twenty-Fourth, and Twenty-Fifth Infantry and Ninth and Tenth Cavalry. All of these are officered by white men. They have all rendered admirable service wherever employed in war, and save where the color line has been raised against them, their conduct seems to have been good in peace. One of the Colored infantry regiments the Twenty-Fourth is stationed at Manila; the other is distributed between three Texas posts, Fort Bliss, Brown and McIntosh The Ninth Cavalry is stationed at Jefferson Barracks, Missouri and Forts Riley and Lavenwoth Kansas. The Tenth Cavalry, which so distinguished itself in Cuba, has its headquarters at Fort Robinson, Nebraska, where eight troops are stationed. The remaining four troops are Forts Wasoake and McKenzie, Wyoming.—Exchange. No Race Compromise. EDITOR TRIBUNE:— Permit me through the columns of your paper, to define my position as regards the agitation, now pending as to the discrimination on the street cars. To those of us who have kept up with local conditions here, know that this discrimination will be made and he or they who will wait until the first blow is made will find himself or themselves weakened. Hence I would suggest and had hoped that the truly representative meeting held Monday would have put themselves on record, that is to issue an address or plea to the Negroes what is expected of them when the discrimination is made. There is a pamphlet issued and in circulation, that asks the question, "Are you a man?" (and by the way it would be interesting to know where these pamphlets were printed) that is not mainly for the reason that in parenthesis they excuse or make apology for this corporation. I would ask the signers of this pamphlet what has the Street Railway done by influence or otherwise to prevent this unjust humiliation of our people, and I contend that we don't need to excuse or eliminate any one. There will be no exception when this discrimination is put on and the man or men who seek to pave the way to some compromise must be given to understand that we don't need him or them in the legislating of a matter that means so much to ourselves, wives, and children. It is said by the press, that this conclusion is the result of summer excursionists; accepting this as a fact, let us conclude like this: Let us not only keep off the street cars, but let us solicit the interest of the business men of the city by leaving them severely alone as far as we possible can or in other words, agitate a boycott. Open up a Negro Berean of Information and what we cannot obtain here from our Negro enterprises, let us order it through this medium. Let us learn an object lesson from China. To illustrate if you decide to purchase a wheel, in order to keep off the cars, why you need to order it from the factory and that is the only way to reach any man's conscience, through his pocket, when the rights of the Negro is in question. PROTEST AGAINST JIM CROW. Colored Ministers and Lay men Against Proposed Street Car Ordi Pursuant to the call issued in the last issue of THE TRIBUNE and notices given otherwise, a large number of the ministers and leading citizens met at the F.A. B. Church last Monday. It was the regular meeting of the Baptist, Ministers Union, but the members adjourned in favor of the mass meeting. Rev. J. A. Lindsay was elected chairman and Rev. H. L. Haywood, secretary. The sentiment of those present were made apparent at, the very incipiency of the meeting. All who desired to were allowed to express themselves. The opinions of many were different but in a nut-shell all of them seemed to be against the proposed jim-crow legislation. After much discussion a motion was adopted requesting each church and organization to enter protest against the proposed legislation. The motion that precipated much debate was that calling for the appointment of a committee to draft resolutions and present same to city council protesting against the passage of the proposed ordinances. There were those who were against the mass-meeting being placed on record to this extent but they were in the very small minority. After the passage of the motion the Chairman appointed the following members of that Committee: Revs S. T. Redd, J. W. Carr, D. D., J. H. May, D. D., J. A. Brockett, D. D., Dr. F. S. Belcher, Messrs A. L. Tucker, R. Barnes and Sol. C. Johnson. This committee met the following afternoon at THE TRIBUNE office and arranged for the preparing of the resolutions and had same presented to the mass-meeting held yesterday. Another committee composed of Dr. F. S. Belcher, Messrs J. W. Armstrong, W. S. Scott, W. D. Armstrong, and Dr. W. J. Williams was appointed to solicit the aid of the ministers and the churches in the furtherance of the movement. Much of the discussion and and the demeanor of some were unnecessary, but it all terminated in what the mass meeting is commended for doing and that is putting itself on record as against the proposed ordinances by authorizing a committee to prepare resolutions and present same to city council and to the street railway company. A meeting was held yesterday at which time the resolutions prepared by the committee was read for approval. What of the Wage Earners What of the Wage Earners The Wage Earners Loan and Investment Company, now nearing its sixth year of usefulness in this community, continues to attract the admiration and support of the people of Savannah and the state of Georgia not because of oratorical displays or through the use of questionable and misleading statements that amount to the merest bombast, but rather for the practical and constructive work that it has done since accepting its charter under Georgia laws. Organizing in October 1900, with a paid in capital of $112.00 it has slowly but surely laid a foundation for future success that is almost unparalleled in corporate existence and at the present time has combined resources amounting to more than $33,000 00. To the present time the increase in its business for the year is nearly 75 per cent, and is confidently expected that by the end of the fiscal year it will be 100 per cent. Stock can be purchased at $12.00 per share, either in cash or the payment of $1.00 down and fifty cents per month until paid in full. A distinct advantage in owning stock in The Wage Earners is that a loan can be obtained thereon to nearly its face value; also, that the Company will buy or build homes for its patrons on easy monthly payments. In its SAVINGS DEPARTMENT interest is payable at the rate of 5 percent per annum, compounded quarterly and the interest of 5 per cent is the largest rate that can be paid commensurate with conservative business, as according to the laws of the State, the established rate for loaning money is not exceeding 8 per cent. Allowing a small percentage for the cost of management it will readily appear to the thinking mind that 5 per cent is a just rate to be paid on money on deposits. Among the investments made by this Company during the last few months has been the erection of three houses for Mrs. Campbell for $1100.00 on 32nd and Burroughs streets, a cottage for Mrs. Brooks on 46th and Habersham streets for $500.00, the purchase of a home for Mr. A. I. Washington, Wheaton St., for $1,000.00; the erection of a cottage for Mrs. Bruin in West Savannah costing $300.00, the purchase of a home for Mr. W. Smith in Louisville costing $550.00, besides numerous loans on other improved, real estate. The Company has just concluded arrangements whereby it will erect the church edifice for the First African Baptist Church on its property West Broad and Bolton streets for approximately $5,000.00 also a cottage in West Savannah for Mr. Bee, costing 550.00. The Company has just purchased a block of lots located in the south- eastern section of the city, Waters Road and 50th., street, consisting of thirty lots 30x126 feet, and has placed them on the market at prices ranging from $150.00 to 250.00 on easy monthly installments. These various investments but show to the investing public that the Company is safely investing the money of those who intrust it to them, also that the Company is using all of its means to add to the material well being of the race thereby assisting in the general unfit of the people. It will well repay the colored people of Savannah who are interested in the worthy enterprises of the race to purchase stock in this company and place their savings in its custody as it is the foremost power for progress and material advancement in Georgia.

Miss Bertha Mordecai, the efficient and trusted financial secretary of the Union Benefit Association was married to Mr. Clarence Brown on Wednesday evening last. Miss Mordecai has been with the Union Benefit Association from its very start and has developed into a necessity to the company, so thoroughly familiar is she with the duties incident thereto, She has been earnest and faithful in the per- formance of her duties, conscientiously, laboring for the welfare of the company and for the interest of those who are bene- fited as its patrons, Courteous and oblig ing, she has not alone won favor with the officials of the company, but the good wishes of the public upon whose patronage the company depends. Versed in the ramifications of insurance .rules, she is anecessary factor in the adjustment of claims and the settlement thereof. There- fore knowing that it would be difficult to fill the position she now bolds with safety and satisfaction she has gratuously pro fered her services to the company, which in turn, graciously accepted them, and she will continue to look after the bonks and finance of the-associatiou. This de- cison is a wise one and is yworthy of rec- ommendation to others similarly engaged and the public will commend the act.

The people fs getting so ar- Htercratic and perticular that they has to have things Just so. No more “than five years back we used ter make up all our popeorn balls — ‘they Was balls then, none of your Sanoy' criepstygs—ia May, enough ter Yast us clean through to September. “And now the people's tastes Is .so highly edicated that they won't stand ter any corn that’s been popped over twenty-four hours." _ + Here, In a nutshell, is the whole ‘stoy of the tremendous revolution that has taken place in the summer -amusememt sezort business in Amer- ica in the last halt decade. Here in New York we notice the change most -strikingly at Coney Island, for there, it may be said, the revolution really ddegan, and there it certainly has “beem, carried to an extreme seen no- where else in the country. And as “the Coney Island of to-day {s the type of the new amusement resort, ‘serving as a model for similar places all over the-country; so the “Coney Island that we all knew a few years 2go was the type of the old re- sort. Fundamentally, the change comes down 'to this, that In the old days you almost never got what you patd for, while now you almost fn- variably get, more than you pay for. For show promoters of every sort, from those who furnished the side sshows for the country circus, the «county, falr, and the dime museum, cup to the great P. T. Baroum bim- self exerted their wits to invent some sort of a show that would fool the ‘publie. “The public Mkes to be fooled,” they declared. Time has proved that they were wrons, but as long as that sort of show was the only sort in existence, the public, with Its accustomed good nature, con- tinued to pay its money for it. An ‘old clreus man down at Coney Island cited the tatooed man as an example. “Most of the tatooed men on tle market used to be straight-out Aakes,” he said, “Now, although although they are mostly made to or- er, still they're the real thing.” * ‘The Old Fake Shows. ‘The ‘old style show, now rarely seen save in the very cheapest of amusement resorts, hardly needs de- scription. The ingenious taker, who, for ten cents, admitted you to see a elect set of cheap pictures, and then having informed you confidentially that for another ter cents he would “‘show, you the Bowery as it’ really Is,” turned you out Into a passage that led you to that fioroughfare, ‘was typteal of his kind. ‘The show ‘with another show inside, Into which the spectator was led, quite as much by the feeling that be had been duped once and might as well see the whole business, as by the hints of forbidden things behind the dirty curtains, was invarlable. Now, ap parently, the whole theory of the show has changed. And enquiry proves beyond a doubt that the change 1s due In no way to a moral awakening on the part of the show- ‘man, but rather to a realization on dis part that it paye better in the Yong run to give the public its mon- ey’s worth, that Lincoln's well known axiom that you can't fool all the people all the time has solid commer- cial basis. It 3 more than likely that many a showman trying to arrive at the true cause of his failure hit upon the correct answer, but so fixed were the traditions of the business that none dared put the new {dea into effect until five years ago, Then two young men came out of the West, who bold- ly declared that the old method was based on a fallacy. “Give the people five,times their money's worth, and ‘theyll come to see your show ten times,” said one of them the other day. Thelr success was immediate; others caught on to the fdea and the revolution was under way, An op- portune fire, by sweeping many of} the old time resorts out of existence, helped things along. Capital was easy to interest, where there was permanence promised for the.{avest- ment. To-day, the Coney Island amusement places of all sorts repre- sent un Investment varlously esti- mate@ at from $8,000,000 to $10,~ 000,000. The two largest alone, Dreamland and Luna Park, repre- sent an investment of $2,000,000 and $1,800,000 respectivély. There could be no better criterion of the success of the new idea, or no better assurance for its permanency than aS: SE See eee a be good than bad.” A little looking about the place seemed to bear out this last state- ment. “Why,” declared a big policeman, “I've served prettynearly everywhere in the city, and Coney’s about the best place I've struck. It's a regular Sunday-school plenie here most ot the tlme.” 5, “But it used to have a bad reputa- ton?” 2 “Bad, well, I.guess yes, but that was before I came. Why, I've heard some of the oldfellows-say that —" ‘The same story was told at the sta- Hon house; the arrests for disorderly conduct have fallen off almost fifty per cent. in the last five years, de- splte the growth of the place. Down on the Bowery, a dance-ball keeper corroborated the police test!- mony. “Five years ago,” said he, “we kept six bouncers busy here every night. Now the floor superin- tendent does the whole business.” ‘The city authorities have recog nized the change and have afded in it, Water supplyand drainage, clean streets and efficient police protection have followed. And ail this has brought also a change in the charac- ter of the patrons. With the bad shows eliminated and the , strong hand of the pollce to be relled on, this change In the class of patrons followed naturally. And with every- thing to gain by the keeping of good order the amusement people them- selves have,naturally been the strong- est upholders of the law and order regime. Chances For Actors of Merit. Another important result of the new methods {s noticed in tha changed character of the showmen cad thelr employes. Time was when Coney Island andsimflar resorts were hotbeds of crooks and panhandlers of the worst description, To-day they afford an excellent opportunity for actors and actresses to continue their work and for young college atudents to obtain employment, that will help pay thelr next year's schooling. There are as many as thirty or forty of these employed at the baths and in other capacities. The big produc- tions such as “Fighting the Flames” and the “Great Train Robbery” em- ploy many trained actors, the last namied golng to the extent of employ- ing an actual member of the famous Dalton gang in thelr effort to provide a true-to-life production that will be in every respect worth the admis- sion fee, From Coney Island the new idea in summer amusements spread. It might be imaginéd that the old style show, being driven from that place, would find a lodgment somewhere else. But that {s not the case, Ap- parehtly the showmen came to the conclusion that the appeal of the old fake show was too Iimited a patron- age to be worth while. The two rex sorts that come nearer to the old sort are North Beach and South Beach, but except in thefr cheapness they Have very Jittle similarity to the old Coney Island. They, too, are devel oping along the Ines of thelr most famous prototype, order is rigidly preserved, and with very few excep-_ tions the amusements are of a clean, legitimate character. Two other near-by resorts — Glen Island and Fort George—are now being rebuilt and developed on an elaborate scale along somewhat different lines from Coney Island, to be sure, but with the same recognition of the sort of amusement that the people care most for. 7 ‘At Coney Island {t was noticed that when great amounts of money were invested in amusement’ places the city at once came forward and performed its duty as to elvic im- provements. The same thing has been true throughout the country. AS soon as tite resorts cease to be menaces to pudlic morals and become places of really innocent amusement, the raunicipal authorities are glad to recognize them and give them the op- portunity to become even more sta~ ple and permanent. Such an attitude on the part of city authorities {s un- imaginable in connection with the old-style resort. Perhaps a majority of such suburban resorts were orlg- nally built up by transportation com- panies, largely by street railway com- antes. Sometimes it was to these promoters’ interests to establish a really high-class resort, as in the ease of Norumbega Park, near Bos- on, but more often it was decidedly GUINEAS AS “GAME” DIRDS.. GSETCS SF Gas OF SRR ae tels cnd Few Can Tell Difference. “When game gpes out of season by reason of the game laws, the guinea fowl man gets his innings,” sald an experienced farmer discas- sing mew openings in his trade. “In habits and Instincts the guin- ea resembles the wild birds much more than it does the ordinary do- mesticated fowl,” she added, “while {ts flesh is dark meat very solld and plump and of a flavor closely re- sembling that of a quail. For that reason it {s the best substitute for game fowl yet discovered, and that at 2 fourth of the price asked for,the more expensive luxury. At this time of year the old guineas ere in market and find ready demand because of the absence of wild meats, while Sust before the opening of the game fowl season in the fall the young (spring) gulneas~will come in to sell either in properia persona or as qual, “Much that is sold by poultrymen as gulnea, by the simple metamor- phosis of the oven becomes game. I could name at random a half dozen large hotels in which young guineas are placed regularly before patrons who ordered partridge. It 1s im- possible to secure the latter, which yet figure on the menu, and none but an epicure can detect the difference of flavor. Some farmers sell almost exclusively to expensive hostelries, which pass the birds off, respectively, as quail or pheasant, according to size, “The export trade in guineas, too, 4s by no- means inconsiderate, as several thousand head are shipped to England from American farmas every year, These are almost entirely the old fowls—that 1s, those which have reached full growth. “Among the many polnts in favor of guinea poultrying is the fact that the young are hatched out at a time of year when artificial warmth or expensive buildings are rot required. ‘The expense of feeding the old fowls, too, is hardly one-half of that re- quired for chickens in Ike quantity," —New York Press. : WORDS OF WISDOM. One way to be good Is to be sich abed. ‘A man fs always vain enough te believe he isn’t, Barrlage wouldn't be so serious 1 it didn’t last so ‘long, ‘When a girl Kas a beau she talk: about it as If he were Sfty. A man who won't He to his wife about his bad habits is a brute. There 1s more fun in being sick abed than visiting your wife's rela. tives. Automobile clothes will never be as useful for other things as yachting outfits. Some boys are able to earn thelr ‘livings in spite of their college edu- cation, It's awful poor judgment,to tell a girl she is pretty when another one can hear you, : A man has to give up a lot of oth- er bad habits to be able to afford the automobile “one, If a girl Is dressed In pink It's a sign she is going someihere ‘with a red:headed man. Living in the suburbs {s a sort of training for the place you may have to live in in the next world. A woman feels she has a right to nag just the way a man does that he has a right to come home late nishts. A trip abroad Is a nice thing to brag about, but the real enjoyment of it 4s getting home to good things to eat.” ‘There is hardly any surer way to live to be very old than to be rich and have a lot of poor relatives wait- ing for you to die.

H. ‘The so-called Rate :aw is a series of new amexdments to the Interstate Commerce act of 183% and its pre- vious amendments. Its fandamenial privcipte is that all ckarges for the interstate and foreign transportetion ot passengers and property “shall ; be just and reasonable.” Every “un- just and unreasonable" charge for such service {3 prohibited and de- elarec unlawful, ‘The Interstate Commerce Commis- ston fs enlarged from five to seven members, appointed by the President for s2ven years, with an annuel sal- ary of $10,000 each, Not more than four may be of the same political Party. ‘The act applies to all common car- tiers engcged in interstate commerce, including express companies, sleeping car compantes and pipe lines other than those transporting water and gas, as well as railroads and steam- oats operated in connection with rafiroads. The definition of g rail- road is broadened to include railroad bridges and ferries, switches, spurs, tracks, terminal < facilities, ‘freight depots, grounds and yards. This broadening will enable the commis- sion to regulate switching and ter- minal charges, which -have been 2 prolific source of discrimination. Transportation is defined to include all cats frrespective of ownership and contract, and all services In connec- tion with the receipt, delivery, eleva- tion, transfer’in transit, ventilation, etrigeration or icing, ‘storing and handling of property transported. ‘This brings all the private-car lines under the authority of the commis- ston. Every interstate common carrier must file with the commission, and keep two coples conspicuously dis- played In each of Tis depots ‘for pub- ile inspection, schedules showing all its rates and charges, not only be- tween all yolnts on {ts own lines, but to all points on the Ines of other car- fiers. ‘These schedules must state separately all terminal, 'cing, storage and other chargés, and all privileges, facilities and rules affecting the value ot the service, In order to destroy the iniguities of “midnight sched- ules” no changes may be made except on thirty days" notice to the commis- sion, without the commlssfon's per- mission, These published rates are the only ones that, may Ye lawtully charged to anybody, All qarriers are forbtdden to vary in any/way from these schedules until duly changed, or to extend to any shippet privileges or facilittes not enumerated therein. After May 1, 1908, rallroads are forbidden to carry, except for their own use, any commodity which they ‘directly or indirectly mine, manufac- ture or produce, except lumber. Rall- ‘roads owning coal and fron mies must dispose of these properties’ or ship the product out of the State over ‘a competing line, . ~ Whenever complaint is made thst @ rate {s unjust or unreasonable the commission is to grant a hearing. If it finds the complaint is justified it 4s to fix the just and reasonable rate, which then becomes the maximum charge which the carrler may levy. ‘This rate 1s to take effect within thirty days and remain In effect for two years, unless suspended or modl- fled by the commission or suspended or set aside by the courts. The commission {s also authorized to compel detailed reports from all common carriers showing capitaliza- fion, investment, franchise values, salaries, earnings, profits and the, like, and to compel a uniform system of accounting. All violations of this act are held to be misdemeanors committed by the corporation itsclf'as well as the individual, For refusing tor obey the commission's orders in fixing rates the fine is $5000.

Is Sanctuary of Artemis Orthia, Which Conferred Privileces, A cable to the New York ‘Times from Athens says: A telegram trom Sparta anounces the discovery of the famous sanctuary of Artemis Or- thia, before whos? altar the ‘Spartan youths were scourged when they were Initiated into the ‘privileges of manhood. The site Is on the bank of the Eurotas. Votive offerings of fvory and terra cotta and quantities of small leaden figures and pottery were also found, which confirms the bellef that this wasfone of the most anelent Spartan shrines. ‘Tae early ceremony in Sparta of flogging youths till they bled before the altar of Artemis Orthia (the upright) was a’relic of the custom introduced into Sparta from the Crimea #long with the worship of the goddess, of sacrificing human uetngs to her. These sacrifices were commuted to Lycurgus for the cere- mony of flossing youths, but not tM the custom of human sacrifices hac spread to ‘Several parts of Greece, Asia Minor and Italy. ‘The name “Orthia” was probably tho result of the unbending posture of the ancient wooden image which the Spartans worshiped. They be- Heved it to be the image which Iphigenia and Orestes brought away from Taurls (the Crimea). : Before battle the Spartans sought the favor of Artemis by the gift of a she goat. ‘The Eurotas is the ancient name of the river now called thé Irl. Aro You Tired? ‘There is too much tiredness in the world, especially among business women. Halt the day's work has to be dono by force of the will, since there fs not foree of body enough to carry the work through. Most women accept this as un- avoidable. To be ‘tired is normal, whether one has charge of a baby or a typewriter. To tell them naturo intended back and burdensto be in due proportions does not help mat- ters. They dre too tired to theorize. ‘To get up fresh and cheery In the morning, do our duties vigorously, with energy to spare for a song and a smile and le down in the happy, wholesome weariness of a well spent day, that surely was the original plan for our days. Are we never to get back to it? Some say the way lies through gymnasiums; others hunt ‘for don't worry clubs and good resolutions. Still others seek it by simplifylng the daily duties and throwing off the world's comparative standards. And the last are nearer to reach- ing the goal than any of the others —Philadelphia Press. Wasting Enerer. Most of us are wasting energy all the time, and the nervous woman who can spare It least, wastes the most. She is never still, but in a thousdhd useless movements she wears herself out daily; her fingers are constantly toying with something, anything, from a napkin ring to a watch chalu,a book, fan, paper cutter or even a lock of her hair, whatever comes within easy reach of those restless, nervous fingers is eagerly pressed into service, and frequently sho drums idly on table or desk, keeping up a running accompaniment as she lstens to you talk, says the Philadelphia Press. ‘ When she goes shopping sho wastes a gréat deal of energy in the tight grip sho maintains upon her pocketbook or umbrella, and when she retires at night, not knowins how to relax either body or brain, she again wastes more energy, even as she tries sleep with the hope of storing up a Httle for the morrow. Hence she keeps on a higi tension and wears herself out in time. Monks as Chauffeurs. The monks of the Grand St. Ber- nard will soon make their debut as chauffeurs. * After a struggle lasting over a year they have received the permis- sion from the Valafs and Italian au- thorities to run a motor car service Detween the hospices of Grand St. Bernard and Simplon—their proper- tles—and Domodossola and Aosta. ‘The chauffeurs will be chosen from among the monks themselves, who will wear cowls. ‘The cars, which are belhg special- ly constructed to climb the steep gradients, will at the beginning be employed for the fransport of sup- plies only. Later, however, the monks intend to start a service for tourists who wish.to visit their hospices in’ the season. — Geneva Correspondence London Espress.

Strange Construction by Prebistéric People in Ohio. z ‘One of the races that oceupied this country before its settlement by the white man was known as the mound builders, on account of the huge heaps of earth they left, in the ve- gion where they dwelt, and which were in many cases (if not always) places of burial. Practically all of these mounds were round, or nearly so. Something highly exceptional, however, was left in Adams County, Ghio, where {t still exists, the land on which it stands having been pur- chased and reserved on account of its historical interest, : This -strange object {sn mound which was evidently intended to rep- resent a serpent. At one end there is what looke like a pair of widely distended jaws, just beyond which {s an elliptical wing, probably signity- ing an egg. At the other end is a tail, loosely colled in three rings. The body also is bent in several not ungraceful oops. It extends in a generally north and south direction. The air line distance from the ex- treme end of the oval ring to the outermost, ring of the tail is about 500 feet, but if the figure could be pulled out straight its length (in- cluding the oval object near the head) would be 1335 feet, or fully a quarter of a mile! At the largest part of the body the width is twenty feet, but the tall {s only four or five feet wide. The height varies from four to six feet. The oval embank- ment measures 120 feet in length the longest way, from outside edge to outside edge, The interior di- mensions are elghty-six by thirty feet. ‘The site of this singular construc- tion Is the top of a plateau that rises abruptly to a height of at least 100 feet at the north end (where the head is), and the difference in ele- vation above the surrounding coun- ty is Hearly the same on the sides. ‘There fs evidence that streams ex- isting either now or at some time In the past carved out this colossal al- tar, fhe serpent mound of Obfo was first discovered by Squier and Davis in 1845, who described {t in a report to the Smithsonian Institution. Its preservation 1s due to the activity of Professor F. W. Putuam, of Boston, and the generosity of Miss Alice Fletcher, of the same city, who fur- nished the money to purchase the land and create a park, The place was not properly eared for, however, and at the suggestion of E. O. Ran- . dalf, secretary of the Ohto State Ar- chaeological and Historical Soelety, the custody of the park was wisely intrusted to that organization. Mr. Randall has recently written a-book on the subject, and it is from that publication that the accompanying JI- -lustration {s taken. Another effigy of the same kind was discovered years ago in Canada, not far from Toronto. It is called the Otonabee serpentmound, because Decause it is situated in Otonabeo County. Professor David Boyle, of Toronto,.says that excavation in the Canadian mound revealed, two skele- tons in a sitting posture, besides ex- tra arm and leg bones, a skull and the teeth of dogs or wolves. The head of the Otonabee serpent points to the eastward, and there Is a rep- resentation of an egg opposite the open mouth. Slmilar formations (but possibly. without the egg) are known to exist at Mayville, Green "eke, Madison, Poets! and ,other Dlaces in Wisconsin, and at least one has been found in Miinois. ‘Mr. Randall discusses at much length the possible significance of tho form of these mounds. The serpent was an object of worship by many ancient nations, though {t is not easy to understand how such ideas could have been imported into Amer- ica in the days when ocean transpor- tation was dangerous. Yet there seems to be a probability that they did get here, and had some Infiu- ence on the usages of the early in- habitants of the continent. —New York Tribune. rae solditig Track.

A new law has recently gone into ef- fect designed to make it Smpossible to decefve people into buying inferlor and adulterated paint under the im- pression that they are getting real paint, viz: pure white Jead and lin- seed oll. ‘The North Dakota lawmakers did “not attempt to absolutely prohibit ‘the Inferior pigments, or mixtures of pigments, They adopted the slogan, | “Tet the label tell,” and then left to the people fo buy whichever they | wished.

But sf they prefer genuine awhite Jead and linseed oll, they can be sure of getting it; for none but the ‘genuine article can bear a label which says “pure white lead." In all other States mixtures are of- ten sold as pure white lead which contain little~sometimes no—real white lead.

President of Cuba Finally Decides to Fight Insurgents. ENLISTMENTS UNDER WAY Island Government Has Plenty of Cash In Treasury Which Will Be Spent Liberally in Crushing the Rebellion. A special from Havana says: The hopes of those who tentatively suggested a project of mutual concessions as a means of ending the rebellion in Cuba were shattered Sunday when President Palma called General Cebreco-one of the proposed peace commissioners, to the palace to inform him that the government had no concessions to offer or accept and no intention other than fighting the matter through and suppressing the insurrection. General Menocal, who headed the list of the proposed commissioners, sent word to the promoters of the project that he would have nothing to do with it unless he could approach the insurgents with a definite offer of some kind from President Palma. The promoters, however, are not entirely discouraged, and another meeting may be held. One of the main reasons why the government feels encouraged to pursue the fight to the end by force is, as outlined by Font Sterling, secretary of the treasury, its abundance of money. "We have $19,000,00 on hand," said the secretary of the treasury, "Don't overlook that. And we have a monthly income of $2,600,000. The August receipts and customs duties were greater than ever before. We will not need to negotiate loans for some time to come, at least. Yes, most of what we have has been appropriated by congress, but those appropriations must wait. We shall use the money, in putting down the rebellion." The number of daily enlistments is not known, as the work is being carried on in so many different places, but the expectation is to have 8,000 men in the field, inclusive of regulars and volunteers. What is beginning to disturb business interests more than anything else is the increasing evidence that tobacco planting, sugar cultivation and crop planting will begin so late as to be ruinous to the coming winter's crop. The planters see no prospect either of getting men to do their work or of borrowing money for developing the crops. Much money is being received by the Havana banks from the provinces slaco reports have been published of the looting by the insurgents of town treasuries. War preparations in Havana are unceasing. A machine gun corps Sunday afternoon left Castillo de Lapunta and four companies are stationed, one at La Fuerza castle, in front of the palace, two at the arsenal and one at the Vadado shore front. There was no cheering whatever as a corps commanded by Americans marched through the streets of Havana Sunday afternoon. The men are not yet drilled or disciplined. 'FRISCO HORROR DEATH LIST.

Doing Honor to TheJr Fellow-Townsman—A Memorable Occasion. William Jennings Bryan returned Wednesday evening, to his Lincoln home, and the "home folks" welcomed him with every evidence of approval and satisfaction. It was a neighborly welcome, planned as such and carried out in its entirety with that understanding. Lincoln has more republicans than democrats, and Bryan has in the past good-humoredly expressed the belief that it would be a task to reform the city politically, but on this occasion there was no line of partisan division and the welcome extended to both Mr. and Mrs. Bryan was sincere and open-handed. Everybody showed good nature; nobody wanted to quarrel about politics and nearly the whole population showed that it was genuinely glad that so well known a man as Mr. Bryan lives in the city. It is doubtful whether Lincoln ever held a larger crowd. The weather, barring the heat, was as nearly perfect as could be. It was a half-holiday in the city and every train which brought not only Nebraska people, but many from nearby states was crowded. The city was handsomely decorated for the home coming, the fronts of business houses being a mass of flags and bunting, while in the residence districts lithographs of Bryan in the windows, together with the national colors were everywhere seen. The non-partisan nature of the reception was emphasized in every way possible. The Bryan train arrived at the Burlington station shortly after 5 o'clock p. m. Two hours before that the crowd began assembling and was packed around the station, on the platforms of freight and express buildings and on the sidewalks and in the street for nearly half a block away. There was a roar of welcome as the train rolled in and Mr. Bryan appeared on the platform. In the party, aside from Mr. and Mrs. Bryan and their daughter, Grace, was the Lincoln delegation, which left the city over a week ago to meet him at New York, and which Mr. Bryan accompanied on its homeward trip, together with a few of the Nebraska democratic mayors, who also went to New York. Mr. Bryan's only expression as he looked down on the multitude of faces was: "Great Scott! what a crowd." In the afternoon exercises were held on the capitol grounds. It is estimated that 50,000 people listened to the addresses of welcome and a felicitous speech by Bryan. Following his speech Mr. Bryan shook hands with the thousands who passed before him. A display of fireworks ended the exercises. SULTAN ONLY TOO WILLING. Authorities of Morocco Will Turn Over Bank Wrecker Governor Deneen of Illinois and State Attorney Henry at Chicago united in a dispatch to the state department asking that Minister Gummere at Tangier, Morocco, be instructed to have Stensland detained. Owing to the lack of an extradition treaty the department could issue no such instructions, but the acting secretary of state telegraphed Gummere to sound the Moroccan government as to its willingness to surrender the bank wrecker. In answer, a message was received at the state department Wednesday, stating that the Moorish authorities will interpose no objection to the removal of Stensland. The dispatch adds that Stensland is a prisoner in the American legation there. TO CHOKE OFF HEARST. Bryan Followers Form Alliance With Forces of Jerome. An event of importance took place in Albany, N. Y., Wednesday, and the city is buzzing with political interest. This was the conference of democrats from many counties of the state called to discuss the situation in the party, the central figure of which was District Attorney Jerome. It is conceded that this meeting was aimed to prevent the nomination or indorsement by the state convention at Buffalo of William Randolph Hearst. CHINKS FOR NAVAL ACADEMY.

The present lease of the Nan Elizabeth, the boat that is now making the regular trip between these points, soon expires, and then a new deal will be on. Lower Cotton Rate Ordered. The railroad commission has, in circular 322, lowered the rate on cotton from Dublin to Savannah from 38 to 32 cents per 100 pounds. This action was taken upon complaint of the citizens of Dublin, who showed they were similarly situated to Hawkinsville and Eastman, from which a rate of 32 cents is allowed. The railroads tried to show that Dublin was not a common point, but the commission held differently. The rate of 32 cents is made on cotton uncompressed, the carrier being granted the privilege of compressing if desired. Only Five Counties Show Decrease. Out of 145 Georgia counties, 140 of them show unusually large gains in tax returns over the returns for 1905. The principal decrease is in Chatham county. The total gain in 140 Georgia counties was $41,612,523; the total decrease in five counties of Baker, Butts, Chatham, DeKalb and Glynn wns $845.351, leaving the net gain in the entire state $40,767,172. This figure is larger than that previously published as the result of estimated increases in Toonbs and Wilcox counties, and an additional increase of $9,600 in Banks reported later. Adding in corporation returns the net gain over 1905 is now $46,359,312. --- "Jim'Crow" Law For'Savannah. An ordinance has been introduced in the Savannah city council providing for the separation of the races on street cars in the city. The ordinance makes it the duty of the police officers of the city to make cases against and to prosecute in the state courts passengers violating the provisions of the state law, which requires the separation of the races. The ordinance makes it the duty of conductors to assign passengers to seats so as to separate the white and colored passengers as much as practicable, while the cars are within the jurisdiction limits for police purposes of the city of Savannah. Legislature Extremely Liberal. Legislature Enforcement Bureau The large number of appropriations which were provided for by the last general assembly will probably establish a new high record for the expenditures of the state. The total appropriations amount to $422,991.17, the greater part being due next year. The increased appropriations prevented a further reduction of the state tax rate, which was reduced from $4.90 to $4.80. The appropriations follow: Special pensions, $1,150; completion of state reformatory, $3,000; Jamestown exposition, $30,000; Oglethorpe monument, $15,000 (half in 1907, half in 1903); State Agricultural College, $100,000 (half in 1907, half in 1908); Gordon equestrian statute, $15,000 (to be paid when subscriptions are paid by Gordon Monument Association); Soldiers' Home, hospital and equipment, $7,500; Georgia School for the Deaf and Dumb, at Cave Springs, additional dormitories, $20,000; Georgia School of Technology. deficiency fund for maintenance, 1906 and 1907, $10,000; deficiency appropriation, $101,341.17; for additional land for Georgia School of Technology, $17.500; Academy for the Blind, $65,000; Georgia Normal and industrial, Millegelleville, dormitory building, $27.500; additional dormitory at North Georgia Agricultural and Military college at Dahlonega, $20,000. Agriculturists Elect Officers. The State Agricultural society, in session at Griffin the past week, elected the following officers: President—J. J. Connor, Cartersville. General Vice President—R. F. Crittenden, Shellman. Vice President—First district, James Blitch; second district, W. D. Hammock; third district, John A. Cobb; fourth district, Roderick Leonard; nun district, A. J. Smith; sixth district, J. T. Williams; seventh district, W. H. Lumpkin; eighth district, J. McC. Bryan; ninth district, J. E. Claud; tenth district, George Gilmore; elev- district, W. B. Burroughs. The committee appointed at Albany to prepare a report on the advisability of having a commissioner of agriculture for each county recommended the appointment of another committee to prepare a bill to be introduced at the next session of the legislature creating said office. The recommendation of the committee was unanimously adopted and the society pledged itself to work for the passage of the bill. The Amended Local Tax Law. The local tax law was amended in several particulars by the recent general assembly. Among the changes in the old law are the following: "The county board shall lay off the county into school districts clearly defined, of not less than sixteen square miles, and when practicable, shall be so shaped as to have the school building as near the center as possible, and no territory shall be included whose occupants reside farther than three miles from the school house without written petition of two-thirds of the qualified voters therein. The failure of any county board to comply with the requirements of this section within six months after the passage of this bill, shall operate to annul their commissions, and vacancies thus created shall be filled as the law requires such vacancies to be filled. "Within ninety days after the board of education has laid off said districts the said board shall order the citizens of the several school districts to hold an election for the purpose of electing three trustees for each district in the county. "In school districts which levey a local tax for educational purposes, the board of trustees shall make all rules and regulations to govern the schools of the districts, and build and equip school houses under the approval of the county board; they shall share the public school funds apportioned by the county board and determine the amount necessary to be raised by local taxation. After determining the tax rate the county school commissioner shall report to the proper taxing authority of the county and to the comptroller general the rate of taxation so fixed, and the levy shall be made as for other taxes. The above extracts and condensations of the new law show that the defects pointed-out by the supreme court in the old law have been remdled and that it will be safe and advisable for districts and counties to vote for a local tax to increase the school fund.

President Looks Upon Magnificent Array of Fighting Machines of the American Navy at Oyster Bay. A special from Oyster Bay says: Under skies that broke brilliantly blue before a westerly gale, which swept down Long Island Sound and blew out to sea, the clouds and tempestuous rain which in the morning threatened to infmeasureably mar the spectacle, President Roosevelt Monday, within hailing distance of his summer home, reviewed the most magnificent naval fleet ever assembled under the American flag. Forty-lye of the most splendid types of fighting vessels afloat lay at anchor in three columns as the naval yacht Mayflower, which just a year ago, was written into history as the meeting ground of the peace plenipotentaries of Russia and Japan, passed up and down the lanes, the president an applauding spectator on the bridge. The Mayflower's journey was made amid a continuous boom of saluting cannon, and gun after gun spoke the navy's honor to the commander-in-chief of all Americas-military forces. President Roosevelt had as his guests on board the Mayflower the secretary of the navy and several other government officials, members of the senate and house committee on naval affairs and the naval attaches of eight of the powers of the world. There was something of an object lesson in this gathering of a representative array of the American navy, about one-third of the fighting forces being in the review. When the parade of the Mayflower was over and the president had looked with critical eye at each of the flagdressed vessels, his yacht came to anchor and he received on board the commanding officers of the fleet. Then followed a gala luncheon at which the officers, the government officials, the attaches, senators and congressmen were guests together with a number of the personal friends of the president.
