The Savannah Tribune. VOL. XXII. PEONAGE CHARGES Against Georgians are Being Probed by Officials. MOUNTAIN OF MOLE-HILL Assistant Attorney General Seeking to Bring to Light Alleged Illegal Detention of Laborers Through- The federal grand jury for the northern district of Georgia is now investigating charges of peonage brought against a number of citizens of the state as the result of an investigation which has been conducted by Assistant Attorney General Chas. W. Russell, who has been in Georgia for the past ten days. The investigation was brought to light by the presence around the federal building in Atlanta Tuesday of a number of foreigners who claim to have been held in bondage by Georgians living down the West Point road. From Newnan and other points have also emanated reports of the investigations being made by the government in the effort to stir up trouble for Georgians in this direction. It is understood that Assistant Attorney General Russell has been sent out by the special direction of President Roosevelt and in this connection it will be remembered that an effort to fasten the charge of peonage on a number of prominent Georgia citizens was made by government attorneys two years ago, but the crusade proved unsuccessful. It seems that the result of the investigations made at that time did not satisfy the officials of the department of justice, for the effort is now being renewed. The Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railway has a lot of trouble with laborers who were brought to Georgia to work on its line. Many of these men, after making contracts to work out their railroad fare, have proceeded to jump the camps as soon after reaching them as possible. Railroad officials who tried to force these laborers to live up to the agreements they had made found themselves facing charges of peonage. A peculiar fact is that the present investigation is said to relate entirely to alleged illegal imprisonment of foreigners who have been brought to Georgia by immigration agencies. The crusade of two years ago was made in the interest of negroes who claimed that they were held without due process of law. Gentlemen interested in attracting immigrants to the south declare that these charges have in a number of instances been trumped up by agents of railroads leading to the west in order to keep immigrants out of the south. PRINTING OF POSTAGE STAMPS To Be Done by American Bank Note Company After 1st of February. Company After 1st of February. After Feburary I next the American Bank Note company of New York will manufacture all United States postage stamps. Under a contract, made public a few days ago, the concern must deliver 27,000,000 stamps daily six times a week. The American Bank Note company made the first postage stamps for the government and held the contract up to thirteen years ago. At that time the government went into business itself by manufacturing the Columbian issue, and down to this date the bureau of printing and engraving has turned out all stamps. According to Warren L. Green, president of the bank note company, the government decided to employ a private institution, again because it can do the work cheaper. President on Hunting Trip. President Roosevelt left Washington Wednesday for Pine Knot, Albermarle county, Pennsylvania, where he will devote a week to hunting. Pine Knot is the country seat purchased by Mrs. Roosevelt, who will accompany the president. Seven Counts Against Cfisholm By Grand Jury at Birmingham. Grand Jury at Birmingham. The federal grand jury at Birmingham, Ala., Saturday afternoon returned seven indictments against Alexander R. Chisholm, former paying teller of the First National Bank, who defaulted for $100,000; four indictments against P. G. Smith, who runs a brokerage office, and who was charged with having aided and abetted Chisholm in his defalcation, and one indictment against W. L. Simms, manager of the local office of Gibert & Clay, upon the same charge. BARRETT SCORES JORDAN Head of Farmers' Union Replies In Searching Card to President of Southern Cotton Association. O. S. Barrett, president of the Farmers' Union, replies to the recent Interview of President Harvie Jordan, attacking him and State President Duckworth, of the Farmers' Union, in a caustic card, which, in part, is as follows: 'To the Public: My attention has just been cailed to a communication of Mt. Harvie Jordan, from which I make extracts as follows: "It has been reported that Barrett was a rural school teacher in connection with his small farming operations before he became identified officially with the union, and that Duckworth followed the same avocation in Texas before being employed by the union as a lecturer. But whatever their previous avocations, both are practically unknown in the cotton world, and unfamiliar with the handling and marketing of a great crop involving an annual purchase price of more than $600,000,000. "I am daily in receipt of letters and resolutions from members of local Farmers' Unions condemning the present course of some of their leaders, especially Barrett and Duckworth, in trying to stir up strife at this critical time. The rank and file of the union are not responsible for the acts and doings of some of their short sighted leaders." "I am amazed at the tone of Mr. Jordan's communication. In the first place, in my former statement on the subject of his unfortunate interview I made no personal charges against him. I simply criticized him, as I had a right to do, for having permitted himself to be used by the bears in beating down the price of cotton. I simply stated that it was most unfortunate that one making the claims he does should be quoted as having made the declaration that 'this year's cotton crop is the SECOND largest in the history of the south.' If that statement had come from a recognized bear it could have done no harm, but when sent broadcast throughout the world as the utterance of the president of his organization, the damage done is instantaneous and irremediable. "I recall that less than two years ago Mr. Jordan himself literally grew pale about the gills, and frotted at the mouth, at the publication of the advertisement of a New York cotton speculator to the effect that the crop of that year would be the largest in the history of the south. That was the famous 14,500,000 bale crop, and it turned out that the speculator was right in his estimates. But he was descenced by Mr. Jordan, as all but a trief, for daring to predict that the crop was the largest in the history of the south. "And now, strange to say, here comes Mr. Jordan himself, after but one crop intervening, declaring to all the world that this year's crop is the SECOND largest in the history of the south. In other words, he is doing just exactly what Theodore Price did two years ago, and, strange to say, conditions have exactly reversed. Price having been for the past six months on the bull side of the crop, while the effect of Jordan's utterances have been to send the prico of cotton downward. "It must be kept in mind that notwithstanding Mr. Jordan's evasive attempts to sinother that famous Washington interview he has not up to this time denied that he made the statement that this was the SECOND largest crop in the south's history, and that he minimized the damage of the gulf storm. "Like myself, these men were so much thunderstruck by Mr. Jordan's attitude that they adopted resolutions asking the farmers of the south to pay no more attention to his advice on the subject of cotton. "That Washington Interview of Mr. Jordan's has already cost the farmers of the south millions of dollars, and other interviews published since that time have had almost as bad an effect." "HILL BILLIES" REGISTER KICK. Revolt Against Drastic Measures of Dark Tobacco Association. The farmers of Trigg county, Kentucky, who are not members of the Dark Tobacco Planters' Protective Association, who are familiarly known as "Hill Billies," met at Cadiz, Ky., and organized an independent association. They denounced alleged drastic measures employed by the Dark Tobacoc Planters' Protective Association preventing independent buying of tobacco. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 3. 1906. A TROLLEY HORROR Crowded ElectricCars Plunge From Bridge Into Water. SEVENTY-FIVE LOSE LIFE Cars Were Coupled and Every Person In First Two That Went Down Were Drowned Hundreds Witness Catastrophe. A special from Atlantic City, N. J., says: By the wrecking of a three-coach electric train on the West Jersey and Seashore railroad Sunday afternoon, at least 50 passengers perished, and the list may reach the total of 75 when all is known. The victims were caught like rats in a trap. While crossing over a drawbridge spanning the waterway known as "The Thoroughfare," which separates Atlantic City from the mainland, the train left the track and plunged into the water. The passengers in the first two coaches, with one or two exceptions, were drowned. The trestle is about 15 feet above the water and the drop to the water required several seconds, giving time for the passengers—men, women and children—to see and calculate their fate. The disaster, the worst that has happened since the terrible Meadows wreck, of July 30, 1896, occurred at 2:30 o'clock p. m. The train made up of three heavy vestibule electric coaches, which left Camden at 1 o'clock, carried at least 88 passengers, as that number of tickets are held by the conductor. That official is uncertain, however, just how many passengers were on the train. The cause of the wreck has not been established. It was probably due either to a defective rail or the breaking of some part of the superstructure of the first coach. It has also been suggested that the drawbridge, which had just been closed after the passage of a yacht, may not have been properly locked to the rails. All theories as to the cause of the accident, however, are purely speculative. While running at a speed said to have been moderate, the first coach left the rails and dragged those following it over the ties for a distance of 50 feet. Suddenly swerving, the first two coaches plunged over the side of the bridge into the water, 15 feet below. The third coach struck an abutment, broke its couplings and, for a brief time, hung suspended over the water. Brief as was this period, however, it gave more than a score of passengers an opportunity to escape by the rear door. Then the car slid off, and followed the other two into the water. It is believed every one in the third coach escaped alive, although all were injured. The accident was witnessed by many persons on shore, and assistance was promptly sent from Atlantic City. Little, it is believed, was done, however, toward saving the lives of those imprisoned in the submerged coaches. The water at the point where the train plunged in was not deep enough to cover the coaches at first, but as they quickly settled in the mud and as the tide rose, they were soon hidden from sight, except for the trolley poles. Divers were sent down to try to reach the dead bodies in the coaches, but as darkness set in and as the tide ran more swiftly they were unable for a long time to reach them. Late in the evening a wrecking crew arrived on the scene and with their aid, and the use of a derrick, many bodies were taken out. From the officials of the railroad company only a meager and disconnected story of the occurrence could be had. Up to midnight the total dead recovered numbered 44. The bodies were placed in an improvised morgue at Atlantic City. Atlanta Negroes File Suit Against Two Colored Corporations. Appetition was filed in the superior court at Atlanta Wednesday in behalf of some thirty-three negro clients alleging collusion between the Metropolitan Mercantile and Realty company of New York, and the Metropolitan Mutual Benefit Association, also of New York, both colored institutions, and praying that the defendants be required to appear in court and answer to the charges of fraudulently taking the money of the petitioners and subverting it to illegal purposes. TO SETTLE STRIKE National Civic Federation Offers Its Services. WILL ARBITRATE MATTER Striking Machinists of Southern Railway Approve of Meve Taken and May Soon Be Back at Work Again. Now that the National Civic Federation of Trades has taken cognizance of the trouble between the Southern railway and the Southern railway machinists, who have been on strike for two or three weeks past, there is an apparent possibility of an early adjustment of the troubles existing; In the early days of the past week, Seth Low, chairman of the National Civic Federation, began a study of the troubles between the Southern railway and its employees. From President O'Connell of the machinists on strike and from H. B. Spencer of the Southern railway, he sought information touching the pending differences. Neither the road's officials or the leaders of the machinists were in the least reticent. Both parties made to Mr. Low a clean and clear showing. These papers have been under Chairman Low's observation several days. About noon Monday he advised representatives in every town in the territory affected to have its delegate hold himself in readiness for a quick call to Washington for a conference. The National Civic Federation is slow to take a hand in any labor troubles, but when it does enter a contest it usually brings about good results. The following telegram explains itself fully: "Knoxville, Tenn., October 29.—In response to a telegraphic tender of its good offices in the hope of bringing about a settlement of the general strike in the local shops of the Southern railway, the Knoxville board of trade has received the following telegram from H. B. Spencer, general manager of the Southern railway: "J. A. Hensley, Secretary Board of Trade, Knoxville: Your telegram received. The company and its officers appreciate fully the interests of Knoxville in the machinists' strike and we are desirous of settling it promptly and equitably. It has been agreed, at the suggestion of the Hon, Seth Low, chairman of the National Civic Federation, that our president will meet the president of the machlnists' association, and the local committees of the machlnists this week early in an effort to make such adjustment. ATTITUDE OF SAN FRANCISCO In Regard to Japanese School Children Fully Explained. A San Francisco dispatch says: The announcement of the coming of Secretary Metcalf of the department of commerce and labor to the Pacific coast to investigate the alleged exclusion of Japanese from the schools of San Francisco, has not changed the temper of the San Francisco board of education on the subject. President Roosevelt, the educators are satisfied, has been incorrectly advised relative to the conditions and the action of the board of education. "Japanese children have not been excluded from the schools of San Francisco," said School Director Oliver. "For their benefit and for the benefit of the white children we have thought it wise to provide a separate school for all children of Oriental parentage." Uncle Sam Buys Silver. A Washington dispatch says: The director of the mint Monday purchased one hundred thousand ounces of silver at 70.977 per ounce, to be delivered at the New Orleans mint. Mississippi Association 'Warns Farmers of the State Against Them. The Mississippi division of the Southern Cotton Growers' Association, through State Secretary Woods, has issued a warning to the cotton growers of the state against the campaign started last week by a cilque of New York bears to lower the price of cotton. Attention is called to the slump of $4 per bale, which, if there is no advance, will cost the Mississippi farmers $5,000,000 and a proportionate amount in other cotton producing states. A PROCLAMATION Promulgated by President Roosevelt, Designating November 29th 'as Thanksgiving Day. The text of the president's Thanksgiving proclamation is as follows: "A Proclamation—The time of year has come when, in accordance with the wise custom of our forefathers, it becomes my duty to set aside a special day of Thanksgiving and praise to the Almighty because of the blessings we have received and of prayer that these blessings may be continued. Yet another year of widespread well being has passed. Never before in our history or in the history of any other nation has a people enjoyed more abounding material prosperity than is ours; a prosperity so great that it should arouse in us no spirit of reckless pride, and least of all, a spirit of heedless disregard of our responsibility; but rather a sober sense of our many blessings and a resolute purpose, under Providence, not to forfeit them by any action of our own. "Material well being, indispensable though it is, can never be anything but the foundation of true national greatness and happiness. If we build nothing on this foundation, then our national life will be as meaningless as a house where only the foundation has been laid. Upon the material well, being must be built a superstructure of individual and national life, lived in accordance with the laws of the highest morality, or else our prosperity itself will in the long run turn out a curse instead of a blessing. We should be both reverently thankful for what we have received, and earnestly bent on turning it into a means of grace and not of destruction. "Accordingly, I hereby set apart Thursday, the 29th day of November, as a day of Thanksgiving and supplication, on which the people shall meet in their homes or their churches, to devoutly acknowledge all that hhs been given them and to pray that they may, in addition, receive the power to use these gifts aright. "In witntss whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. "THEODORE ROOSEVELT." "By the President: CHILD LABOR REFORM. The National Child Labor Committee, of which President Roosevelt is an honorably member, announces a union of forces with the Anti-Child Slavery League, an organization formed by the Woman's Home Companion for the express purpose of supplementing existing reform work with the wide-spread publicity absolutely essential to every successful reform movement. The Woman's Home Companion will continue its active campaign of publicity in the interests of child labor reform.

HOG MUTILATES A BABY. Vicious Porker Feasted on Hands and Arms of Little One. A two-year-old baby boy of Mr. and Mrs. Elisha Scruggs, who reside about 12 miles from Gaffney, In Cherokee county, South Carolina, while lying in bed, had both hands and arms eaten and lacerated by a vicious hog, which, in some manner, managed to get onto the bed where the child was lying. The child was alone in the house at the time. FIRE WAS AN ACCIDENT Which Burned Ten Men to Death at Birmingham. The coroner's jury which has been investigating the recent disastrous boarding house, fire, in Birmingham, Ala., in which ten white men were burned to death, returned a verdict Wednesday afternoon, which is in effect that the men came to their death by accident. It was at first believed that the fire was of incendiary origin. YE. EDITOR KNOCKED OUT. Railroads Cannot Give Transportation For Advertising Space. Under the ruling of the interstate commerce commission transportation over railroad lines no longer may be given to newspaper publishers or editors in exchange for advertising space in their papers. A protest against this ruling has been received by the commission from the Massachusetts Press Association. Unmercifully Flayed in Divorce Court by Attorney. SALACIOUS ROT EXPOSED Boni Castellane is Painted in Blackest of Colors — Society Women and Demi-Mondaines Implicated Without Reserve. Before a crowd which taxed the capacity of the court room in the palace of justice in the old Latin quarter, in Paris, the case of the Countess de Castellane for divorce from her husband, Count Boni de Castellane, was begun Wednesday afternoon. Count Boni's attorneys made no effort for further postponement and with Henri Ditte, president of the tribunal of first instance of the Seine, presiding, and with two associate justices on the bench, Maltre Cruppl presented the plea of the countess for absolute divorce and the custody of the children. This plea was made upon documentary evidence and without summoning witnesses. The great lawyer spoke for four and one-half hours with an intermission of only fifteen minutes. The case was adjourned before Maltre Cruppl argument was finished, and he still seemed to have plenty of ammunition in the locker. Such a severe arraignment has seldom been heard in this court room. He painted Count Boni in the blackest of colors, declaring him to be rapacious, brutal and licentious, while the countess was held up as the long-suffering victim. Nothing was spared and nothing was glossed over. In chronological order Maitre Cruppi recounted the stroy of the alliance, which he said had been unhappy from the very honeymoon, owing to the incredible extravagance of the husband, who in five years had used up the colossal fortune that the daughter of Jay Gould had brought him. Count Bonl's inordinate and insatiable demands for money, according to the attorney for the countess, began as soon as the couple arrived in Paris and led immediately to ill treatment and abuse, and soon to blows. Maitre Crupple detailed liasons with four society women, designating them as Mme. A., Mme. R., Mme. C., and Mme. D. Referring to the count's affairs with the demimondaines, the lawyer told the story in plain, unvarnished fashion. He made no attempt at rhetoric, but marshaled the facts from a big dossier before him. He read unexpurated extracts from incriminating letters and gave the depositions of servants and others, indicating infidelity. Only when Maitre Cruppl reached some particularly outrageous incidents of the count's conduct did his voice, vibrating with passion, rise until it penetrated the farthermost recesses of the big hall and at other times it would soften as he spoke of the humiliated wife under such circumstances, trying to bear up in the face of the world. As he spoke of the count's efforts to prolong the case with the view of securing forgiveness and conciliation, the lawyer fairly shouted: "No, no, forgiveness is now out of the question." Beneath the disguises of Mme. A., Mme.'B., Mme. C. and Mme. D. many persons in the court room recognized the identity of the women to whom the lawyer referred. SOLDIERS TO BE TAGGED. Aluminum Medallion, With Name and Company, to Be Worn. Acting on the recommendation of Surgeon General O'Reilly, Acting Secretary Oliver has ordered that hereafter identification tags of aluminum the size of a half dollar, stamped with the name, company, regiment or corps of the wearer, be suspended from the neck of every officer and soldier, underneath the clothing, by a cord. These badges will be issued gratuitously to enlisted men and at cost price to the officers. HEARST AND HUGHES BUSY. Closing Week of New York Campaign a Strenuous One.

To see the nursery lighted and the children's table spread; "Mother, mother, mother!" the eager voices calling. "The baby was so sleepy that he had to go to bed!" Oh, to come home once more and see the smiling faces, Dark head, bright head, clustered at the pane; Much the years have taken, when the heart its path retraces. But until time is not for me that image will remain. But oh, to see once more, when the early dusk is falling. The nursery windows glowing and the children's table spread; "Mother, mother, mother!" the high child voices calling. "He couldn't stay awake for you; he had to go to bed!" My confession must begin when I was four years old and recovering from swollen glands. As I grew well, my twin brother, Gregorel, who was some minutes younger, was put to bed with the same complaint. "What a misfortune," exclaimed our mother, "that Silvestre is no sooner convalescent than Gregorel throws ill." The doctor answered: "It astonishes me that you were not prepared to it, Madame Lapalme—since the children are twins, the thing was to be torse-seen; when the elder throws the malady off, the younger naturally contracts it. Among twins it is nearly always so." nothing. And then—well, I owned to Berthe that I loved her! I owned that I loved her—and when I left for Paris we were secretly engaged. Mon Dieu! Now I worked indeed! To win this girl for my own, to show myself worthy of her innocent faith, supplied me with the most powerful incentive in life. In the Quarter they regarded me first with ridicule, then with wonder, and, finally, with respect. For my own enthusiasm did not fade "He has turned over a new leaf," they said, "he means to be famous!" It was understood. No more excursions for Silvestre, no more junketings and recklessness! I was another man— And it always proved to be so with Gregoire and me. No sooner did I throw off whooping cough than Gregoire began to whoop, though I was at home in Vernon and he was staying with our grandmother in Tours. If I had to be taken to a dentist, Gregoire would soon afterward be howling with toothache; as often as I indulged in the pleasures of the table, Gregoire had a bilious attack. The influence I exercised upon him was so remarkable, that once when my bicycle ran away with me and broke my arms, our mother consulted three medical men as to whether Gregoire's bicycle was bound to run away with him, too. Indeed, my brother was distinctly apprehensive of it himself. Again at college. I shall not pretend that I was a bookworm, or that I shared Gregoire's ambitions; on the contrary, the world beyond the walls looked such a jolly place to me that the mere sight of a classroom would sometimes fill me with abhorrence. But, mon Dieu! if other fellows were wild occasionally, they accepted the penalties, and the affair was finished; on me rested a responsibility—my wildness was communicated to Gregoire. Scarcely had I resigned myself to dull routine again than Gregoire, the industrious, would find himself unable to study a page, and would commit freaks for which he rebuked me most sternly. So far as I had any serious aspirations at all, I aspired to be a painter, and, after combating my family's objections, I entered an art school in Paris. Gregoure, on the other hand, inclined strongly to law. During the next few years we met infrequently, but that my brother continued to be affected by any unusual conditions of my body and mind I knew by his letters, which seldom failed to contain expostulations and -entreaties. Can you blame me if I had no love for this correspondent? The Circumstances of Our Birth. Your attention is directed to my preceding communications on this subject. I desire to protest against the revelry from which you recovered either on the 15th or 16th inst. On the afternoon of the later date, while engaged in a conference of the first magnitude, I was seized with an overwhelming desire to dance a quadrille at a public ball. I found it impossible to concentrate my attention on the case concerning which I was consulted; I could no longer express myself with lucidity. Outwardly sedate, reliable, I sat at my desk dizzied by such visions as pursued St. Anthony to his cell. No sooner was I free than I fled from Vernon, dined in Paris, bought a false beard, and plunged wildly into the vortex of a dancing hall. Scoundrel! This is past pardon! My sensibilities revoit, and my prudence shudders. Who shall say but that one night may be recognized? Who can foretell to what blackmail you may expose me? I, Maitre Lapalme, forbid your profligiacities, which devolve upon me, I forbid—etc. Our mother still lived in Vernon, where she contemplated her favorite son's success with the profoundest pride. Occasionally I spent a few days with her, sometimes more. One summer when I visited her I met Mademoiselle Leulillet. I know very well that no description of a girl ever painted her to anybody yet. Suffice it that she was beautiful as an angel, that her voice was like the music of the Spheres—more than all, that one felt all the time. "How good she is, how good, how good!" Never since I was a boy had I stayed in Vernon for so long as now, never had I repented so bitterly as now the error of my ways. I loved, and it seemed to me that my attachments was reciprocated, yet my position forbade me to go to Monsieur Leulillet and ask boldly for his daughter's hand. While I had remained obscure, artists whose talent was no more remarkable than my own, had raised themselves from Bohemia into prosperity. I was an idler, a good-for- Still each answers to my call; no good has been denied me. My burdens have been fitted to the little strength that's mine. Beauty, pride and peace have walked by day beside me. The evening closes gently in, and how can I repline? nothing. And then—well, I owned to Berthe that I loved her! I owned that I loved her—and when I left for Paris we were secretly engaged. Mon Dieu! Now I worked indeed! To win this girl for my own, to show myself worthy of her innocent faith, supplied me with the most powerful incentive in life. In the Quarter they regarded me first with ridicule, then with wonder, and, finally, with respect. For my own enthusiasm did not fade. "He has turned over a new leaf," they said, "he means to be famous!" It was understood. No more excursions for Silvestre, no more junketings and recklessness! I was another man—my ideal of happiness was now a wife and home. For a year I lived this new life. I progressed. Men—whose approval was a cachet—began to speak of me as one with a future. In the Salon a picture of mine made something of a stir. How I rejoiced, how grateful and sanguine I was! I said that it was not too soon for me to speak now; I had proved my mettle, and, though I foresaw that her father would ask more before he gave his consent. I was, at least, justified in avowing myself. I telegraphed to my mother to expect me. On the way to the station I noticed the window of a florist; I ran in to bear off some lilies for Berthe. The shop was so full of wonderful flowers that, once among them, I sound some difficulty in making my choice. Hence, I missed the train; and, rather than walk about until the next, returned to my studio incensed by the delay. A letter for me had been just delivered. It told me that on the previous morning Berthe had married my brother. I could have welcomed a pistol shot —my world rocked. Berthe lost, false. Gregoire's wifel. I reiterated it, I said it over and over, I was stricken by it—and yet, I could not realize that actually it had happened. Oh, I made certain of it later, believe me—I was no hero of a reuilleton, to accept such intelligence without proof! I assured myself of her perfyid, and burnt her love letters one by one; toore her photographs into shreds—strove also to tear her image from my heart. A year before I should have rushed to the cafes for forgetfulness, but now, as the shock subsided, I turned feverishly to work. For months I persisted, denying myself the smallest respite, clinging eo a resolution which proved vainer daily. Were art to be mastered by dogged endeavor. I should have conquered; but alas! though I could compel myself to paint, I could not compel myself to paint well. I had fought temptation for half a year, worked with my teeth clenched, worked against nature, worked while my pulses beat and clamored for the draughts of dissipation, which promised a speedier release. I recognized that my work had been wasted, that the struggle had been useless—I broke down. I need say little of the months that followed—it would be a record of degradations and remorse; alternately, I fell, and was ashamed. I shuddered at the horrors I had committed. One afternoon when I returned to my rooms, from which I had been absent since the previous day, I heard from the concierge that a visitor awaited me. I climbed the stairs without anticipation. My thoughts were sluggish, my limbs leaden, my eyes heavy and bloodshot. My visitor was Berthe. I think nearly a minute must have passed while we looked speechlessly in each other's face—her's convulsed by entreaty, mine dark with hate. "Forgive me," she gasped, "I have come to beseech your forgiveness! Can you not forget the wrong I did you?" "Do I look as if I had forgotten?" "I was inconstant, cruel, I cannot excuse myself. But, Oh, Silvestre, in the name of the love you once bore me, have pity on us! Reform, abjure your evil courses! Do not, I implore you, condemn my husband to this abyss of deprivacy; do not wreck my married life!" Now I understood what had procured me the honor of a visit from this woman, and I triumphed devilishly that I was the elder twin. "Madame," I answered, "I think that I owe you no explanations, but I shall say this: the evil courses that you deplore were adopted, not vindictively, but in the effort to numb the agony that you had made me suffer. You but reap as you have sown." "Reform!" she sobbed. She sank on her knees before me. "Silvestre, in mercy to us, reform!" "I shall never reform," I said inflexibly. "I will grow more abandoned day by day—my past faults shall shine as merits compared with the atrocities that are to come. False girl, monster of selfishness, you are dragging me to the gutter, and your only grief is that he must share my shame! You have made me bad, and you must bear the consequences—you cannot now make me good to save your husband!" * Humbled and despairing, she left me. At this stage I began deliberately to contemplate revenge. But not the one that I had threatened. Oh, no! I bethought myself of a vengeance more complete than that! She should be tortured with the torture that she had dealt to me—I would make him adore another woman with all his heart and brain! It was difficult, for first I must adore and tire, of another woman myself—as the passion in me faded, his would be born. I swore, however, that I would compass it. For some weeks now I worked again, to provide myself with money. I bought new clothes and made myself presentable. When my appearance accorded better with my plan, I paraded Paris, seeking the woman to adore. You may think Paris is full of adorable women? Well, so contrary is human nature, that never had I felt such indifference toward the sex as during that tedious quest; never had a pair of brilliant eyes or a well turned neck, appealed to me so little. How true it is that only the unforeseen comes to pass! There was a model, one Therese, whose fortune was her back, and who had long bored me by an evident tenderness. One day this Therese, usually so constrained in my presence, appeared in high spirits and mentioned that she was going to be married. The change in her demeanor interested me A little piqued I invited her to dine with me, but she refused. Before I parted from her I made an appointment for her to sit to me the next morning. "So you are going to be married, Therese?" I sald, as I prepared the palette. "In truth," she answered, gaily. "No regrets?" I asked. "What regrets could I have?" she returned. "He is a very pretty boy, and well-to-do, believe me!" "And I am not a pretty boy, nor well-to-do, hein?" "Oh," she laughed, "you do not care for me!" "Is it so?" I said. "What would you say if I told you that I did care?" "I should say that you tell me too late, monsieur," she replied, with a shrug. "Are you ready for me to pose?" And this changed woman turned her peerless back on me without a scruple. A little mortified, I attended strictly to business for the rest of the morning. But I found myself on the following day waiting for her with impatience. I remarked that Therese's hands were very well shaped, and indeed happiness had brought a certain charm to her face. "Do you know, Therese, that I am sorry that you are going to marry?" I exclaimed. "Oh, get out!" she laughed, pushing me away. "It is no good your talking nonsense to me now, don't flatter yourself!" Resbaud, the sculptor, happened to come in at the moment. "Ooh," he shouted, "what changes are to be seen! The nose of our brave Sylvestre is out of joint now we are afflianced, hein?" "She joined in the laughter against me, and I picked up my brush again in a vile humor. Well, as I have said, she was not the kind of woman I had contemplated, but these things arrange themselves—I became seriously enamored of her. And, recognizing that Fate worked with her own instruments, I did not struggle. For months I was at Therese's heels; I was the sport of her whims, and her slights, sometimes even of her insults. I actually made her an offer of marriage, at which she snapped her white fingers, with a grimace—and the more she flouted me, the more fascinated I grew. In that rapturous hour when her insolent eyes softened to sentiment, when her mocking mouth melted to a kiss, I was in paradise. My estasy was so supreme that I forgot to triumph at my approaching vengeance. So I married Therese; and yesterday was the twentelfth anniversary of our wedding. Berthe? To speak the truth, my plot against her was frustrated by an accident. You see, before I could communicate my passion to Gregoire I had to recover-from it, and—this insolent Therese—I have not recovered from it yet. There are days when she turns her remarkable back on me now—generally when I am idle—but, mon Dieu! the moment's when she turns her lips are worth working for. Therefore, Derthe has been all the time quite happy with the good Gregoire—and since I possess. Therese upon my word of honor I do not mind!—The Bystander. Two Missouri Towns When the presidential struggle between Clay and Jackson was at its height it is related that a band of emigrants from Kentucky and the then other western states commenced to settle on the north side of the Missouri river and called their county Clay and the county seat Liberty. At the same time another lot of emigrants from Virginia and other southern states pitched their tents on the south side of the Big Muddy and called their county Jackson and the capital Independence. And so it remains to this day, Clay stood for liberty and Jackson for independence. Oak Grove (Mo.) Banner SEVEN RULE RAILROADS MEN WHO CONTROL EVERY RAIL ROAD IN THE UNITED STATES Supervision of Over Thirteen Billion Dollars' Worth of Property is Vested in Reorganized Interstate Commerce—Railroad Rate Bill Now Effective. The Interstate Commerce Commission takes on new life and, with augmented membership and increased powers, now begins what is practically the administration of industrial property valued at the prodigious sum of over thirteen billion two hundred million dollars. Interstate Commerce Commission as reorganized is composed of seven members, whose yearly salary is $10,000, has supervision over 2104 railroads in the United States: per mile ..... 2,071,327,860 Wages paid employees, 1905 ..... 787,380,029 In other words, the Interstate Commerce Commission, today has virtual control of every railroad in the United States. It will fix rates, arbitrate differences, issue general orders, institute court proceedings and supervise the accounts of over 2100 railroad lines, with a total trackage of 277,071 miles. In short, the provisions of the railroad rate bill, which was whipped into shape and became the measure pre-eminent of the first session of the Fifty-ninth Congress, become effective, and the vast railroad interests of nearly the whole of the continent, which but recently were operated by private corporations and individuals, is now operated under the supervision of what is probably the most important administrative body in the United States. Never before in the history of government has such a vast industrial system been under the control of any single body of men. If all the railroads of every country in Europe were put in charge of a similar body of men, it would not control nearly as great interests as the new Interstate Commerce Commission at Washington. The commission is now composed of seven members, and is virtually a new body, although four of its members have served for many years. They are Francis M. Cockrell of Missouri; Judson C. Clements, of Georgia; Martin A. Knapp, of New York, and Charles A. Prouty, of Vermont. Recently Franklin Lane, of California, took the oath and entered upon the duties of the office, and on the day before the law took effect E. E. Clark of Iowa, and James S. Harlan, of Chicago, a son of Justice Harlan, of the United States Supreme Court, were sworn in, and the commission was reorganized. The salary of the members of the new commission; dating from today, will be $10,000, an increase from $7500, which heretofore obtained. The provision of the new rate bill with which the commission will have most to do is that which gives it the authority to "determine and prescribe what will be the just and reasonable rate or rates, charge or charges, to be thereafter observed, in such case, as the maximum to be charged." This provision gives paramount power to the commission, transferring all such power from the railroad interests. The provisions of the railroad rate bill, which also applies to all pipe lines, is, summarized, as follows: Confers on the Interstate Commerce Commission the indisputable right to make all rates, fix all tariff schedules, hear all complaints bearing on such subjects as railroad and pipe line transportation. Gives it free access to all books, accounts and papers, kept by common carriers, and imposes a fine of $500 per day upon all carriers refusing to give the commission such access. Provides for enforcement of enactments of the bill by injunction proceedings, and stipulates that no injunction restraining any order of the commission shall be granted except after five days' notice to the commission. Provides a penalty of from $1000 to $20,000 for the "offering, soliciting, giving or accepting of rebates, favors," etc. Provides against the issuance of passes, directly or indirectly, to persons who are not legitimately entitled to receive such, and defines who such persons are. Provides that precedence shall be given for transportation of troops and material in time of war. Provides that a corporation shall be held responsible for anything done or omitted to be done by any of its officers or employees which would constitute a misdemeanor on the part of the corporation. Stipulates what penalties shall be imposed for failures to observe the provisions of the bill. These penalties range from $100 to $500 per day, and from $1000 to $20,000 in specific fines for certain violations of the measure. The commission will also have the carrying out of its old duties which were not modified or amended by the provisions of the new bill. The new rate is drastic in its provisions and expert railroad men and constitutional lawyers have asserted that it will not be thoroughly understood for at least two years to come. One of its provisions is to the effect that all appeals from its decis- lions to the United States Supreme court shall have priority of hearing over all except criminal cases by that tribunal—New York Mall. DAIRY FRAUDS IN ENGLAND. Pure Butter Said to be Difficult to Find in London. The British government has recently issued as a parliamentary paper a report of the select committee appointed to consider the conduct and control of the trade in butter and butter substitutes. The report was urged upon unanimously, and makes suggestions to be embodied in legislation. "The London Times" asserts that genuine dairy butter is a thing past praying for. Four-fifths of the population of London, "The Times" asserts, have never seen it in their lives. Those who know what it is have great difficulty in procuring it and cannot obtain it in many cases at any price. What is called genuine butter in London, "The Times" says, is blended and reworked butter. Its tough, tenacious texture is as different as possible from that of real dairy butter, and it is destitute of the subtle aroma of the genuine unworked butter. "The Times" says that both the imported butter and that made at home are generally blended butter. The parliamentary committee proposes that butter factories shall be registered, the registration to be renewable annually, and that inspectors shall be empowered to enter all such premises when they suspect that butter is reworked, blended or adulterated butter must not be stored on such premises. With adequate penalties proportioned, as the committee proposes, to the magnitude of the output, some real check would be placed upon adulteration. Imported butter is to be met with not less stringent conditions. It was shown before the committee by a firm that was prosecuted for the sale of adulterated Danish butter that it got off with a nominal penalty upon showing that it had ordered what is known as "control butter." This butter is guaranteed by the Danish government. The committee proposes that the importer shall be held responsible for the genuineness of the butter he sells, without any regard for anybody else's warranty. No difficulty is put in the way of those who manufacture and sell imitations of butter openly and honestly. Those who want margarine will be free to buy it as such. But people who want butter are expected to get butter, and not mysterious mixtures. It is thought probable that the British government will take favrable action on the report.—From Government Consular Reports. QUAINT AND CURIOUS. A piece of raw onion cures insect blites almost as well as does ammonia. Spain is the only country with a coinage having a baby's head on it. It is the coinage of King Alfonso, issued in 1838. In Russia a declaration of love on a postal card renders the sender liable to a fine of $2.50. In this country he would be examined as to his sanity. One of the cleverest inventions ever brought out is the machine for sticking pins in the papers in which they are sold. The contrivance brings up the pins in rows, draws the paper in position, crimps it in two lines, then at a single push passes the pins through the paper and sets them in position. More nearly than in the growing of any other crop the United States has a monopoly in supplying the world's cotton demand. In 1904, when the greatest cotton yield was produced, of the total of 15,508,000 bales the United States supplied 13,557,000 bales, all the other cotton areas of the world producing less than 2,000,000 bales. Sheath-knives that most sailors carry with them are, it is said, so highly magnetized as to be capable, if brought within eightteen inches of the compass, of defecting the needle two points either way. It is suggested that no man should be allowed to wear one of these knives while steering a vessel or while on the lookout in the bridgehouse. Alleging that he was delayed thirty minutes in reaching the place appointed for the performance of his marriage ceremony, C. L. Browning, of Birmingham, Ala., has asked the court to award him $5,000 for the mental and physical pain, humiliation and shame he claims to have suffered because of an alleged breach of contract on the part of a liveryman. Consul Harris of Mannheim, says that thousands of American agricultural implements have been sold in southwest Germany, and yet two-thirds of the hay and grain is harvested by hand. The superiority of American sewing machines, cash registers, typewriters, shoes, office furniture and many other articles, has helped to make their introduction all but universal. The proprietor of a newly furnished New York city hotel has given an order to a publishing-house for 200 Bibles. "I have been hearing a lot lately," he said, "about hotel guests going wrong because there were no Bibles in their rooms. Several years ago it was the practice of many hotels to include a Bible in the list of necessary furniture. Gradually the people who were back of the enterprise lost interest and the books disappeared." SCIENCE The output of peppermint oil in the United States in 1905 is estimated about 474,000 pounds. "A man is only as old as his arteries," is the dictum of Dr. Hamilton Cumming of Torquay. A 12-horse-power four-cylindered petrol motor in America recently ran 87 miles on two gallons of petrol. The weight of the car was 1,500 pounds. Another car identically the same only ran 57 miles on the same allowance of fuel. A problem of the ascent of sap in trees, an English botanist points out, is yet unsolved. It appears that in the highest trees the total pressure would be nearly one hundred atmospheres, and as we cannot suppose that leaves can exert so intense osmotic suction, the only theory at all probable is that the living cells exert some sort of pumping action in the wood. A singular spring lately discovered in New Mexico discharges a saturated solution of sodium sulphate at a temperature of 110 degrees F. The weight of the liquid is 102-3 pounds per gallon, that of distilled water being only eight and one-half pounds. The overflow from the spring has solidified into a perfectly level, snow-white bed of sodium 'salts, miles in extent. In "Telekino," his new wireless method of transmitting power, Senor Torres Quevado uses a Branly coherer, which, when struck by the electric wave, causes an electromagnet to oscillate, and the vibrations affect an escapement which advances one tooth at each vibration. He has not only steered a crewless boat from shore, but has increased and slackened the speed at will. The trials are claimed to have been perfectly successful, and it is urged that the principle should be valuable in life saving apparatus as well as for directing torpedoes. The new chemistry of cold has placed in our workshops a series of liquid substances that have been known hitherto only in gaseous form. Investigating nitrogen, H. Erdmann finds that when passed from a cylinder through a cooling worm into a cylindrical copper vessel cooled in liquid air, this gas can be liquified in large quantities at any pressure between 0.7 and 2.5 atmospheres, and then, on filtering is a perfectly colorless mobile liquid. Not only ice, but absolute alcohol sinks in this liquid, confirming the estimate placing its density at .7914. Having a lower temperature, liquid nitrogen is a more efficient cooling agent than is liquid air. It is a good solvent for liquids of low boiling point, and mixes in all proportions, with liquid oxygen or liquid ozone. It is inert toward most substances, and even metals like calcium and magnesium do not readily combine with it; but a mixture of calcium drilling and liquid nitrogen is ignited by thermite and continues to burn a long time, forming calcium nitride. ALCOFUEL. Department to Instruct Farmers in the Use of Denaturalized Alcohol. Farmers who visit the Jamestown Exposition next year should not fail to see the Government exhibit on denaturlized or fuel alcohol—"alcofuel," as it has been suggested that it be called. The recent legislation removing the duty from this denaturized alcohol was mentioned by President Roosevelt as being one of the three or four most important acts of the late Congress. The exhibit will be in charge of the Department of Agriculture and will show graphically what an immense thing this new industry is or promises to be. The farmer's interest is twofold in alcofuel, first, its manufacture will be largely from farm crops, and second, it will furnish a very cheap fuel for use wherever any power is required on the farm—for the running of small engines, etc. In connection with this Government exhibit, will be exhibits of various kinds of internal combustion engines using denaturized alcohol for fuel. Farmers will learn at the Jamestown Exposition how to save labor in a thousand different ways. They will be shown how they can utilize machinery for sawing wood, chopping stock feed, pumping water and many other things. And the farmer's wife can employ machinery for doing her churning, washing, operating her sewing machine and in many other ways to save labor. Special machinery is already being made for utilizing this new and cheap fuel and so economical will be this fuel alcohol that every farmer can make his own supply from the waste products of his farm. Uncle Sam will also show the public how to use denaturized alcohol as a fuel for heating and cooking purposes at home and for lighting the houses and country roads. He will teach the farmers how they can save time and expense by making their fuel, and lights at so small a cost that their living expenses will be reduced to a minimum and their convenience so greatly increased that they will find real luxury in living on a farm. Mr. Fallieres, the new president of France, wears a butterfly tie fastened to his collar button with a piece of elastic. He says that he has worn that kind of tie for 30 years and is not going to change, presidency or no presidency. SUBSCRIPTION RATES.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1906. THE National election takes place next Tuesday. Vote for D. B. Rigdon for Congress. MR. RIGDON is the Republican candidate for congress from the first district. Every Republican from every part of the district must go to the polls next Tuesday and cast a vote for him. The white ministers are making a crusade against the bar rooms. They want the number restricted and license increased. This contention of theirs should be adhered to, and every colored minister and others who have the best interest of the race at heart should help in every way in seeing that these reforms are realized. SAVANNAH is anxious for deep water. Every business man feel this way and anxious to combine efforts for its realization. This can be secured if every business man would go to the polls on Tuesday and cast a vote for D. B. Rigdon, the Republican candidate. Elect Mr. Rigdon and the next Congress will give Savannah's harbor six more feet of water. The democratic candidate will never be able to secure it. REPORTS are being constantly received about the action of collectors for installment houses and their treatment of our people. These money collectors will call at a home, go inside with a dirty pipe or cigarette in mouth, hat on and not particular with their language. They should not be permitted to enter any home. Keep them away from your doors by not patronizing those for whom they collect. IN his sermon last Sunday Rev. Ainsworth called upon the mayor to remove suggestive pictures from colored bar rooms, which request the mayor has readily carried out. There is no objection to this as the movement is commended. Rev. Ainsworth and the mayor are commended for looking out for the morals of the colored citizens even if the same high art pictures are allowed to remain in white bar rooms. Of course white men can appreciate high arts more than colored men. THE Rev. Richard Bright, the beloved rector of St. Stephen's church, will celebrate to-morrow his fifteenth anniversary as rector of the above church. During these years Rev Bright has steadily gained the confidence, esteem, admiration and loyalty of his members, and in these things the public share with them. Those who know Mr. Bright readily admire his affable manner, manly nature and other excellent traits, especially in his unselfish desire to be of service to the needy. In a quiet way he does much to alleviate the distresses, of many, not even of his parish. His work is one of humanity. He is a servant of God whom everybody, especially the young men, can look up to with confidence and love. While there may be many of our ministers of various denominations who are doing equally as good work in the moral uplift of the people as Mr. Bright, yet if the great majority had the same record that he has obtained, conditions for good in our community would be greatly improved: THE TRIBUNE is proud of the work of Mr. Bright and congratulate him and his parishioners on the fifteenth anniversary of his rectorship. Savannah at the State Colored Fair. The State Colored Fair will open at Macon on Monday Nov. 12 and continue until Monday Nov. 19. Savannah has a peculiar interest in it because the idea and organization were there and for that reason the latter showing should be attended to. Every business man, every dress maker, housekeeper, farmer, artisans of every kind, etc. should send at least one exhibit. Rev. R. H. Thomas will be at The Wage Earners Bank, 463 West Broad street each afternoon during the week between 4 and 5 o'clock to collect and give information about the exhibits. Let us all become interested in this matter. If a proper showing is not made it will reflect on us as a race, and such reflection now would be very harmful. The Georgia Conference. The Georgia Annual Conference met in Waycross, October 24th, with Rt. Rev. H. M. Turner D. D., LL. D., D. C. L., Presiding and using the recently prepared booklet which he published a year ago for opening and closing Conferences and churches. After the spiritual exercises, the bishop delivered an instructive, historic and effectual lecture. Only two changes have been made in this city. Rev. E. Lowery at Bethel has been sent to Brunswick, and Rev. B. S. Hannah, of that place was transferred here. Rev. McMillan at Gaines was sent to Sylvannia and he was succeeded by Rev. N. Bembry of Quitman. Next year the Annual Conference convenes at St. Philip's, Charles Street, and each pastor is working to make the coming year a grander one in every respect. Reformatory Meeting. Mc. Editor— Please allow me space in your columns to thank the friends who so kindly assisted in the Reformatory Rally last Monday night. The meeting was indeed a success in every way. Many thanks to the ministers of this city for their assistance and especially to the Beth-Eden Bantist Church who so kindly gave us the use of their building. All friends having envelope in their possession will kindly return the same to their pastors on Sunday. Rev. Bright Celebrates His 15th Anniversary His 10th Anniversary To morrow will be the fifteenth anniversary of Rev. Bright's rectorship of St. Stephen's church. When he came to this church he found its flock scattered. They had been without a shepherd for nearly three years and under his wise counsel and guidance he has patiently and persistently carried on the work, bringing St. Stephen's from a mission to a parish, that is making her self-supporting. It would be useless to mention the repairs and many improvements that have gone on under his rectorship for those of us who are familiar with this little church and her surroundings know of them too well. We are happy to remember that during his rectorship the doors of St. Stephen's Church have never been closed on Sunday to public worship. He established the first kindergarten in Georgia for Negro children and made many sacrifices to carryon this work successfully. The children from his school have made their mark where ever they have gone. While the membership of this parish is not large owing to the many removals to other cities, the spiritual and financial condition is in a most healthy state. His flock has great affection for his many kindness that have endeared him to them in time of trouble and distress and when death has come into their homes they have learned to lean on him and derive comfort from his tender empathy. Rev. Bright moves around in his quiet way ministering and doing good every where not only to those in his own congregation but to those of other denominations. It takes one in close touch with him to know of his many charitable acts and how often his purse is open to the distressed and needy. Rev. Bright commands the respect of the entire community as an earnest and consolent worker and servant of God. —L. M. P. Baptist Ministers's Union The Baptist Ministers Union met on Monday last. The president and vice president being absent, Rev. D. W.annon presided.

Rev. J B Anderson, D. D. of Springfield, Ill. was introduced to the Union. He made some timely remarks which were enjoyed by the brethren. During his stay in the city he will conduct services for Revs. Wm. Gray, J H May and H L Haywood. Sermonic reports—"The lost piece of Silver" Rev Jas. M.

George Albert Trupe was born in Savannah, Georgia, September 1, 1877, and died in the same city, after eight weeks of illness, November 3, 1905. Comparatively speaking, Mr. Trupe was a young man, not yet in his prime. He was an ambitious, energetic, intellectual young man. It is a mystery to us why God should reap His beautiful flowers so soon; but if we recall the scripture we shall see where the ways of God are mysterious, and not even when we are in His kingdom and shall see Him face to face, shall we understand His ways. The funeral services took place from his sister's home, 736 East Walburg St. Rev. Carter of the Jerusalem Baptist Church officiated. Rev. Carter seemed at his best on this occasion. Many beautiful selections were sung, among them, "God be with you 'til me meet again." The remains were borne to its resting place, mourned by a host of relatives and friends. The foral tribute were both beautiful and numerous To follow each division path, each changeful thought of existence, would consume time and space; but let us follow those salient characteristics which showed itself conspicuously both before God and before man. It is a general thing for us to weep over the dead, perhaps it is a weakness on our part and we cannot resist it. We ought rather be joyous than sad, especially in the case of such men as Mr. Trupe for two reasons, first, because he has been relieved of all cares, stifles, trials and temptations of this life and has cast off mortality of this life and put on immortality of the next. Secondly because the scripture say: "Blessed is the man who hath not walked astray in counsel of the wicked, and in the way of sunners hath not stood, and in the seat of scorners, hath not sat; but his delight is in the great Jehovah's law and in this law he studied day and night; he shall be as a tree which planted grows by watery streams and in his season knows to yield good fruit; and his leaf shall not fall, and what he takes in hand shall prosper; and at the nautil call call shall be given a crown of stars." Thus lived Mr. Trupe in the sight of God. Now he is gone. Why should we weep and mourn, to have him here contending with the cares of this world, when reward awaits him on the other side. In the year 1899, Mr. Trupe was married to Miss Mamie Steel also a native of Savannah. They lived happily together or 6 years, up to the time of his death. His home was an ideal one. His first care was always home life and what it should be. His numerous friends were made by "The Golden Rule." Love thy neighbor as thyelf and do ye even so unto men as you wish to be done by. Mr. Trupe lived such an exemplified life that we can truthfully say with the poet, when his summons came to join the numerable caravan which moves to that mysterious realm where each shall take his chamber in the silent halls of death that he went not like a scourging slave at night to his dungeon, but soothed and sustained by the unfaltering trust, "The Almighty God," approached his grave like one who wrapped the draperies of his couch about him and lay down to pleasant dreams. His loving wife, Mrs GEORGE ROBERT TRUPE, New York City, Oct. 13, 1906.

They will be better for it. Help them along and you will have better satisfaction. Flies and hot weather make them cranky and poor. Give them a few carrots and a little grass now and then. The Truck Garden Insect. Insects infesting truck gardens very often affect-field crops as well, but it should be borne in mind that pest exterminating methods that are of no use in large areas are often the best in a small patch where there is more intensive cultivation, and where the price the output brings will warrant more outlay. The Middle Kernels Are Best Seed. Experiments made at the Minnesota Experiment Station to determine the relative germinating power and vitality of the end and middle kernels, show that out of 100 from each end and the middle, 88 of the butt, 59 of the middle and 68 of the tip kernels grew. The combined growth of all the butt kernels during 20 days of growth was 177 inches. The middle kernels made a growth of 196.6 inches and the end kernels grew 151 inches. Alfalfa in the East. A' report, from the Vermont agricultural experiment stations shows that of a series of attempts to raise this important crop in that State, 36 percent were successful and that 68 percent of these were in the Champlain valley. The conclusion reached, is that there is reason for the hope that alfalfa may become acclimatized to the Eastern States and raised successfully there, provided proper conditions as to soil and cultivation are supplied. Moles. The tunneling habit of the mole are often very annoying and damaging, so that one is compelled to apply a check to mole activity. Don't imagine, however, that you can do it by a quick and decisive battle. The only device that promises relief, is persistent and skilful trapping. This may take years of continuous efforts, and will finally lead to comparative freedom from the mole pest, unless the neighbors continue to furnisli a steady fresh supply of the burrowing little animals. Care of Chickens. Have you provided sufficient dry earth for winter use? Now is the time to buy spring pullets for winter laying. Feed more corn to the fowls than you did during the summer. As the supply of insects decreases make up the deficiency with meat scraps or meat meal. The fowls might be excluded from some of the runs and these spaded and sown to rape and grass. In late fall and winter the chickens can get fresh green stuff. Marketing Farm Produce. A small farmer who has made a success of marketing his produce gives sound and ingenuous advice in a recent magazine. His preliminary work suggests Hannah Glasse's famous preface to her instructions for cooking fare: "First find a lady customer," is his advice. To her sell nothing but the cholest of fruit and produce. It will not be long before she will acquaint her friends and they in turn will pass along the word to others. It may to sell nothing but the best; the inferior produce can be fed to stock, and in a short time the farmer will find that he has a good market and a good price, with no leakage of profit to the middleman. In the Orchard. The pea is unsurpassed as a renovater of apple, pear and peach orchards. With trees planted in any ground suitable for an orchard, no fertilizer will ever be needed other than cowpeas. Sow broadcast every year, gathering the peas and letting the whole vine die on the ground. These tires cover the ground during winter, prevent washing of the soil, and by doing are converted by the rain and grow into perfect food for the tree and crop of fruit. The cowpea can be harvest from May to July, is a valuable food for man or beast and the land on which it is grown and no matter in what way it may be used it will return with profit every cent invested in its cultivation.—Indianapolis News.

The mouth of a long necked bottle, containing the drench, should be loosely placed in the horse's nostril, and contents allowed to run out. Not a drop will be spilled, if properly managed, as the animal is obliged to swallow at once.—Indianapolis News. Method of Training Climbing Plants. Around the average suburban home there is little land left for garden crops after the lawn and ornamental gardens have been planned. It is desirable, therefore, to use this little to the fullest extent. The hop growers of California have recently devised a training method applicable to other crops which require some support. This consists in stretching wires at right angles over the hills of the crop and at a suitable distance above the ground. Four cords are then fastened to a short stake in each hill and brought up gradually, diverging, so as to be fastened some distance apart on the wires above. This furnishes a good support for at least four stems in each hill. Moreover the stems are close together at the ground and not in the way of cultivation, while above the stems are separated, allowing the sun to strike all parts equally. This is an important matter in the ripening of tomatoes, and with peas and beans it fall-tates picking and helps to prevent the spread of mildew and other fungous diseases. Success and Study. The successful farmer today is the man who is the most Indetatigable student of scientific farming. He is the reader and the experimenter. Coming to him regularly are the bulletins issued by the Department of Agriculture and by his State experiment station, and, on his book shelves are volumes written by experts, full of valuable and practice information that will prove of material assistance and benefit to him. Only ten years ago, 90 percent of the farmers of the country laughed at the Department of Agriculture. In their estimation it did no practical value. It was merely distributing agent to send out seeds. Today 90 percent of the farmers pay every heed to what the department has to say. They journey far to help experts hold forth from "corn trains and to hear lecturers on fruit and its cultivation. Their sons attend agricultural colleges and, in not a few instances, have returned to their own homes to enter into a profitable partnership with their fathers. Their knowledge as more than doubled the farm's probleness. The Caterpi $ _{r} $ Westward the gypsy rh takes its way. It has caused millions of dollars' worth of damage in Massachusetts, has escaped to Newampshire and Connecticut, and now the invasion is turning toward New York state. This interesting information conveyed in a letter of warning is issued by E. P. Felt, New York state entomologist, who also asks habitants of the Empire State to teach for the brown-tall moth in addit to the gypsy, and report their appearance anywhere in the state at once. According to Mr. Felt the gypsys like to ride by automobile. this connection he says: "Experience has shown that automobiles are very active agents in transporting this insect, and, with their increased use in recent years, no one can foresee where the pest may appear next." The brown tall moth is a more recent introduction, and, unlike the gypsy moth, flies readily. It is not only a very destructive leaf feeder, but the barbed hairs of the caterpillars cause a very severe irritation upon the unprotected skin. Two rows of warts down the back of the gypsy moth caterpillar make it easily distinguishable. It is about two inches long and the ten anterior warts are blue, the twelve posterior red. The gypsy moth will eat anything in the tree or shrub line, and on the slightest disturbance leap on passersby and cling to clothing. Brown tail moths have white spots on each side and a single pair of red spots near the tail. They prefer wild cherry, pear, apple, maple, elm and white oak leaves, and have barbed horns, which, breaking off or blowing from the cocoon, produce an intolerable irritation, the "brown tail itch." Capterpillars of both species, says Mr. Felt, may be destroyed by spraying with an arsenical poisoning, preparably five pounds of arsenate of lead to fifty gallons of water, though the gypsy moth caterpillars, especially when nearly full grown, are quite resistant to poison. Eggs of the gypsy moth may be destroyed by treating the egg masses with a preparation composed of 50 percent creosote oil, 20 percent carbolic acid, 20 percent spirits of turpentine and 10 percent of coal tar. No one is defeated until he gives up. Hard times has a good many relatives. It is the twin brother of the blues. That man has failed who has not been able to keep a good opinion of himself. Self-control will succeed with one talent where self-indulgence will fall with ten. What the superior man seeks is in himself; what the small man seeks is in others. The most dangerous force in this country is the fortune with no character behind it. There is no disgrace in unpreventable poverty. The disgrace is in not doing our level best to better our condition. Poverty itself is not so bad as the poverty thought. It is the conviction that we are poor and must remain so that is fatal. Confidence is the Napoleon in the mental army. It doubles and trebles the power of all the other faculties. The whole mental army waits until confidence leads the way. Man was intended to harmonize with the best thing in him, not with the worst—with the divine and not with the brute. Every man is a possible king, and the coming man will be one. Optimism is a success builder; pessimism an achievement killer. No matter if you have lost your property, your health, your reputation even, there is always hope for the man who keeps a firm faith in himself. The Creator has bidden every man to look up, not down, has made him to climb, not to grovel. There is no providence which keeps a man in poverty, or in painful or distressing circumstances—Success Magazine. FORESTRY CO-OPERATION. Experimental Plantations Gathering Information for Public Benefit. Seven different states now have 8 forest experiment stations, established during the last year, for co-operation between the Forest Service and state forest commissions and agricultural colleges. These stations are designed to meet the growing demand for detailed information on the propagation of forest trees in various regions. As a result of regional studies and special investigations, the Forest Service is already in possession of very complete data on tree growing for protection and timber supply, and this information is gladly supplied upon request. There are many questions, however, regarding new species, nursery methods, mixtures, spacing and cultivation which cannot be satisfactorily settled by studies of existing plantations. These matters will be investigated by a long series of systematic experiments, now under way at the new stations. Arrangements have been made for experimental forest planting in cooperation with the New York State Forest, Fish and Game Commission, at Saranac Inn, in the Adrondacks; with the Michigan Forestry Commission, at Rosmommmon; with the University of Michigan, at Ann Harbor; with Berea College, Kentucky; with the state agricultural colleges at Ames, Iowa and Fargo, N. D., and Agricultural College, Mississippi, and with the sub station of the University of Nebraska, at North Platte. The work contemplated needs constant expert supervision, and great care has been exercised to limit the stations to regions where additional data on forest planting are needed. Most of the stations are institutions where regular courses in forestry are given, and the work is directed by the forester in charge. The co-operating institutions in most cases contribute the necessary land, and share all expenses for material and labor equally with the Forest Service. The service passes upon all plans and directs the general operations. The results are the joint property of the co-operating parties. The outcome will be to determine the regional adaptability of new species and the influence of soil and location on the selection of species, and to secure silvicultural data on methods of planting and cultivation. At Berea, I., particular attention will be given the propagation of hickory, a wood which no satisfactory substitute is him and for which the demand is died soon to outstrip the supply. One plains and prairies the trees will tried which promise to be the most useful to the farmer under local conditions. Experimental blocks will be fed annually, but many years will beoubtedly be required before compulsely satisfactory final results will be attained.

If you see a girl stop short, run her hand along her belt, look on the ground all around her, and finally lose the sudden worried expression by a search through her handbag, you can be sure, says Albert Reid, that she had a letter from "him" that day. Women as Travelers As a matter of genuine fact women, in nine cases out of ten, are better travellers than men are. To begin with, if not so stodgily accurate, although that by no manner of means follows, they are more fluent in modern languages. They chatter in them, say the male things. Ergo, they are the more colloquial—the reader to circumvent the wiles and extortions of Kellner or of garcon—From the Gentlewoman. The Right Kind of a Girl Let a girl be ever so graceful in the dance, let her be ever so elegant of walk across a drawing room, ever so bright in conversation, she must possess some other qualities to convince the great average run of young men that she can be a manager of his home. Frugality, woman instincts of love for home, an eye to the best interests of her husband and the careful training of her children—these are the traits which make the good wife of to-day, and which young men look for in the girls they meet, says Woman's Life. Meit may sometimes give the impression that they do not care for common sense in their sweethearts but there is nothing they so unfallingly demand of their wives. Charities. That woman who dubbed concealing stands and curtains "charities" gave them a wonderfully apt name, for they do certainly "cover a multitude of sins"—usually in the form of dresses. Crettonnes and the rest of the pretty inexpensive upholstery stuffs made most of the curtains, usually finished with a casing to run over a small brass rod. The stands are often built to hide from view radiators during the months when artificial heat is anything but desirable. Sometimes they take the form of shallow tables; as often they are surmounted by a shelf or two, where your favorite books and work-basket may be conveniently kept. To Restore Nerve A certain doctor in Paris, much sought after by fashionable ladies whose nerves are overwrought by pleasure, adopts some curious remedies with which to cure his fair patients. To one fine dame he said, "You are on the verge of nervous collapse. Now, what you have to do is this. Every afternoon walk to such and such a hospital. When you get there ask for Nurse X. She will take you to the second floor, into a room entirely furnished in white. She will sit down in this room; you take a seat opposite to her, and remain for a full hour, without saying a single word. Then go back home, by such a road, such a boulevard, such a square, and such a crossing," says Woman's Life. In three months' time the lady was once again calm, strong, energetic and in excellent health. When You Sit for a Photograph. According to a prominent photographer it is a curious fact that the two sides of a human face are seldom if ever the same, a physiognomy even fairly well mated when viewed from opposite sides of the room being sufficiently rare to excite interest. "People are quick to recognize that a photograph taken from one side is more attractive than the opposite pose," he explained. "They usually attribute the difference to some atmospheric influence or sometimes to a defeat in the camera. "But, as every photographer knows the real inequality lies in the faces themselves, the right side often differing radically from the left and vice versa. I have sometimes heard it claimed that the left side is always the more attractive of the two, but my own experience has not confirmed this theory.—New York Press. Tennis Skirt Four Inches from Floor. The tennis skirt is still made decidedly shorter than any other separate skirt, and even if there are no plaits or tucks to be opened out at the knees, there must be considerable flare. Three inches anyway from the ground, and four if preferred, is the accepted length for a tennis skirt. A wide hem is allowed in case the material should shrink. This coarse crash or lining does not soil as readily as the finer qualities and has the great advantage that while made up without starch it does not become mussed and creased. The pockets, which are new on the outside of the skirt and not hidden by the flap, as formerly, may be made so as to button over so that the handkerchief or change pocketbook cannot possibly slip out. With this skirt is worn a stitched belt of the material. This belt may be anywhere from one to three inches in width. The wider belts are attractive fastened, with large gilt or white metal buckles. Many of the belts instead of being double and stitched are hand embroidered.—New York Telegram. Dainty Oversleaves. Cuffs to slip on over the sleeves when sketching, writing, or when performing small house duties need not be unightly articles of an uncramental variety. Dainty half-sleeves of lawn are as easy to wash and do up as coarse linen and brown holland, and do not, moreover, give more trouble at the outset, while a couple of small pocket handkerchiefs constitute all that is required as a basis. Two opposite corners of the handkerchief should be cut off a few inches from the points, and the raw edges on either side pinned together and united with a French seam. When worn, one of the remaining points protects the blouse or dress sleeve as far as the elbow, and the other is folded back and tacked down to form a turnover cuff. The sleeve is made sufficiently tight to fit the arm without requiring an elastic band, the seam running down the inner side of the arm. A little gathered Valenciennes lace round the top and at the wrist makes an effective finish, while in the case of handkerchiefs with drawn thread borders a narrow ribbon may he run through the openwork and tied in small bows or rosettes.—New York Mall. A Women's Suffrage Bird A Pioneer Mother In a cemetery near a little town in Central Kansas there was laid away the other day the mortal part of a pioneer Kansas mother. Forty years ago, with her husband and ten children, she had come to that community, and there she lived during nearly all of those forty years. There she reared a family, of ten children to lives of useful citizenship, and Jn that same cemetery she had laid the body of her husband more than 20 years ago. It was such women as this pioneer mother who have had much to do in conquering this Western wilderness and in making Kansas a great State. In the days when life in Central Kansas meant suffering and privation and want she went about doing good. Only a year or two after she and her husband left Iowa and came out to the Kansas prairies to help subdue them the Asiatic cholera broke out among the settlers. This pioneer woman left her own brood of 10 children and went into the dugouts and the pioneer huts where the scourge had come, nursing the sick, soothing the dying, comforting the bereaved and alleviating the suffering wherever she found it. At length she herself fell a victim to the plague, but her good sense, her strong will and her vigorous constitution enabled her to withstand it. For nearly forty years she went about doing good in that community. She helped to organize a Presbyterian church there on the plains, and she brought up her six sons and four daughters to believe in its precepts and to love and honor their Maker. When she died nearly eighty living descendants revered her memory and "rose up and called her blessed." And when they laid her mortal remains away in that prairie cemetery last week they had left to them the memory and inspiration of one who had lived her long life well—a life of usefulness and service to those around her. It is such women who are largely responsible for a nation's good citizenship, and therefore its greatness. They are the nation's real heroines.—Topeka State Journal. DR.

HENDERSON. ow Subject: The Eighth Coninandment. ; Brooklyn, N. ¥.—Preaching at the Irving Square sPresbyterian Church on the theme,. “The Elghth Com- mandmenty” the Ber. 1.,W, Hender- sop, pastor, took as his;téext Ex. 20: 15: “Thow shalt not steal,” He said in the course of his sermon: This is a call for simple honesty, and the need for clear and fearless thought and utterance {s both im- perative and apparent as we apply this elghth commandment to the so- ciat life and communal conditions of to-day. The common interpretation of what it means to steal fs quite ele- mentary. In the public estimation, stealing, very largely, is a-form of open and specific disobedience to law which will likely land the evil’ doer in behind the bars. tis not my pur- pose to say or to imply that the aver- age individual conscience does not recognize che obligations-and the va- lidity of that moral law which over- Japs our penal code. But to a large extent the robber, in the public mind, is the man who forces locks; who spends his evenings at his nelghbor's safes with dynamite and jimmy; who misapplies to his own uses our sil- Yer, our clothes, or our money. Ask a maa, Who fs a thief? and the like- lihood fs that often, though not al- ways, he will run the Jist of those who bear the insignia and the dis- honor of that self-secking fraternity whose members live by their wits. But are the men and women who de- clare open war upon society and who adhere to the principle that the world owes them a living the only ones who steal? Is it the man who picks your pocket or the man who steals your savings, by heedlecs mismanagement of that fortune you gave into bis trust, who robs you of most? , Who is the most dangerous criminal, the sec- ond story burglar or the’ man who, under the guise of a conservative financier, wrecks your home and takes your all? Who best merits prison clothes, the man who steals to save his family from starvation’s gtimmest death, or the millionaire of Wall street who inflates values that he knows car never last? Who most deserves the scorn of honest men, the man who cracks a safe or the phil- anthrople plutocrat who made his wealth at the price of human blood? The consensus among those whom the lesson hardest hits {s that rob- bery is all right so long as you steal enough. Only the small burglar is to wear stripes. The sin of stealing is in be?ag caught, and its worst dis- race is not to he deft enough to bas everything in sight. | Stealing is wrong and It should be’ punished no matter by whom or how it may be committed. The Member of Congress who violates the law and robs his country for his private gain deserves the limit of the penalty. The moneyed man who wrecks a cor- poration to satisfy personal spite or secret grudzo, should wear the irons toxether with that other of his com- pany who represents as a real in- vestment proposition a property that is chiefly air, paper and watery The jusiness man who underpays his jabor and hugs the lion's share of the profits to himself, with no coz- cern or care for the toilers who made ossible his materlat success, is a thief. The rich man who raises prices and lowers wages, without right or need, to such an extent that n9or men haye no decent chance to ive, steals more than money. “Thou shalt not steal,” says the -ommandment, and to my mind's eye ihere comes the vision of that cotton mill in the sunny southland. 1 hear he whirr 6f wheels, the rattle of ‘ne loom, the roar of leather belts, he shouting of the mill boss: aad here, in among that bustle and clat- er and ceaseless racket, I see mere children watching wheels, instead of yirds; tending cotton when they should be at thelr books; growing sid and blunted in bedy, mind and spirit, when they should be learning essons in God's wonderful out-of- loors. Mere children driven into avery Dy the laziness of lying par- nts or the greed of northern capital. ind what you may see in the cdtton ills of Dixie, you may see in the slass works of New Jersey, the mines if Pennsylvania, or in the sweat hops of New York. Is such stealing rise? ‘The amount of wholesale and un- “strained robbery that takes place n our public Ife is enormous. It vould seem that the sense of honesty s on the decline did we not know etter. The caliber of the con- clences of 2 host of men who admin- ster the affairs of the plain people is ot very large. Dishonesty is, trangely, even yet, with many Jead- rs in our political life, 2 synonym or assured success. “Thou shalt not teal” is left out of their moral code. o be honest, to be square, is, with hem. to be marked for defeat, Vhen we read In onr daily papers of he shameless frauds perpetrated pon the Government by corpora- munal Ife should be removed from power-and influence. “Thou shalt not steal” sald Moses, So says Christ to us, All that Moses asked of Isracl, Christ’ demands of Ameriea, No man can steal and be plumb to the law of love. With the entrance of Jesus the heart will seek to give rather.than to get; and with the soul that waiks with Moses’ God, the right will ever relgn supreme. ¥ But despite all the unwholesome- ness around us, the signs of the times presage a glorious transfor- mation that is near at hand, What- ever may have been the evil sowing of yesterday, and whatever may be the alarming harvest of to-day, we need not fear for the harvest of to- morrow. The Lord is coming into His own. Society is coming to its senses and better men are moving to the front. The dormant will of a mighty people is awaking and woe’ Detide the wicked charlatan who fails to see the writing on the wall, or seeing, falls to heed it, And the awakening will come most largely, as. in the nature of the case it ought, among the common people of the land; those at whom the unphilo- sophical slander is so often hurled that they are not worthy fo be trusted because they are so fickle, so foolish and so Weak. ? That a social regeneration and moral revival is taking place in so- ciéty no man may, with reason, doubt. It is in the alr. Men are ap- plying moral standards that for years we have never, or seldom, heard employed in the judging of in- dividual and public actions. The newspaper to-day blazes the trail ahead of the pulpit, and many an ed- torial handles the ethleal cudgel more forcefully and effectively than many a sermon. Men, within anit without the church, are asking for more decisive, concrete, fearless ethl- cal preaching from the pulpits of our land. Ecclesiastical authorities aro hesitant about receiving the money of our tainted millionaires, not be- cause they are convinced that money itself can partake of the moral quali- ties of the individual who possesses it, no matter how lad a mdn he may be or however flagitiously his money may have been acquired; but because they do not want to become suspect- ed of being receivers of stolen goods or lay taemselves open to the charge, just or unjust, of compounding wick- edness. Reform movements are rife, and the bottom plank of the reform- ation platform is, almost without ex- ception, in substance, the Eighth Word of the Mosaic law. Naw and again we hear it sald that those wno proinise us reform will, in their turn, when they shall have en- tered into power, exploit the people for their own advantage, as has been done of yore. I do not believe that this is so, as I read and interpret to-day’s events; but of this I am sure, that they who betray the con- fidence of the people under the prom- ise of a clean reform, will go down, at a later day, to a political disaster beside which the downfall of an Ar- nold will be counted tame. Hand in hand with the moral reformation, a religious revival which shall purify men’s souls will sweep the land. Spiritual blessedness and “joy and peace in a holy spirit” will become the chief desire of men's hearts, Having tried the comfort that the world gives and found it faulty, men will seek the peace of God which passeth all human comprehen sion, which the world cannot sive and which the world cannot take away. Let us place our trust in the God of isrzel and of America. Let us facr he future with a cheer. Plowine Around a Rock. “I had plowed around a rock in one of my fields for about five years,” said a farmer, ‘and I had broken a mowing-machine knife against it, be- sides losing the use of the ground in which itJay, because I supposed that it was such a large rock that it would take too much time and labor to re- ‘move it. But, to-day, when I began ‘to plow for corn, ¥ thought that by and by I might break my cultivator against that rock; so I took a crow- bar, intending to poke aroufid it, and find out the size once for all. And it was one of the surprises of my life to find that it was little more than. two feet long. It was standing on its edge; and was.so light that I could lift it into the wagon without help.” “The first time you really faced your trouble you conquered It,” I re- plied aloud, but continued to enlarge upon the subject all to myself, for I do believe that before we pray, or Detter, while we pray, we should look our troubles squarely in the face. . We shiver and shake and shrink, and sometimes we do not dare to pray about a trouble because it makes it seem so real, not even knowing what we wish the Lord to do about it, when if we would face the trouble and call it by its name one-half of its terror would be gone. ‘The trouble that lies down with us at night, and confronts us on first waking in the morning, {s not the trouble that we have faced, but the trouble whose proportions we do not know.

If not, do so at once. Delinquent lodges must settle up at once. Laggards are not tolerated in a Masonic lodge. Masonry makes you no promise of an earthly reward for life long services.

In spite of fashion, prejudice, position, interest, persecution, scorn, contempt, or even martyrdom, a Mason is expected to be faithful to his vows, just to himself and true to his God.

How is it possible for one who has been an active worker in a Chapter to lose interest until their presence at the meetings are like angel's visits—"few and far between." One is led to wonder what motive prompted them to join the Order and continue steadfast for a period of time, perhaps until they have been honored by their associates with various offices—even that of presiding officer, and then grow weary in well-doing. The lessons have not lost their beauty nor is one released from the obligation. It is a landable ambition to desire to serve one's Chapter in any capacity, but it is unworthy of one who has assumed the obligation in our Order, to accept preferment at the hands of our associates and when the term of service is ended, having satisfied one's ambition, to seek new fields of conquest. Those who have served should be in attendance, ready and willing to "lend a hand" when their service is needed, remembering that but for this faithfulness in others their term of office could not have been successful. Their unlistment should be for life, for there is never a time when one's aid is not needed in the services of humanity, and if we would aid, comfort and protect each other on our journey through life's labyrinth we must place ourselves in a position to do so, by putting ourselves in closer touch with each other. Lost interest on an investment of principal in this line is past collecting and only by collecting as you go will one receive full value.—Eastern Star. 33D DEGREE MASONS HOLD SESSION. A delegation of officers of the United Supreme Council, Sovereign Grand Inspectors General, Thirty-Third Degree of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Free Masonry for the Southern Jurisdiction of the United States boarded the special Pullman car, Roanoke, at the Pennsylvania station, Saturday, October 13th, for the Nineteenth Annual Session of the Supreme Council at Macon, Ga., Monday, October 15th, at noon. We were met at the depot by ILL. J. H. Walker, thirty-third degree, deputy for the Valley of Georgia, with his efficient committee and, we were all assigned to comfortable places among the hospitable people of Macon. According to the well established custom the annual session of the Council was preceded by devotional exercises and a sermon by the Ill. Grand Prior. Promptly at 8 o'clock p. m., Sunday, October 16th, the Supreme Council assembled in the basement of Stewart A. M. E. Chapel, Rev. H. D. Kennedy, pastor, and escorted by the Temple, N. O. M. Shrine and DeMolay Consistory, Sublime Princess of the Royal Secrets, all in full regalias, proceeded to the main auditorium of the Church, where divine service was conducted by Ill. Bro. O. J. W. Scott, thirty-third degree, Grand Prior, assisted by Ill. Bro. E. W. Lampton, thirty-third degree, Acting Grand Almoner, and Ill. Bro. H. D. Kennedy, thirty-third degree, pastor of the church, Central City Chapter, O. E. S. Hon, Lady L. H. Burdell, Royal Matron, attended in a body. Ill. O. J. W. Scott preached a brilliant sermon. Ill. E. W. Lampton, addressed the Brotherhood present briefly. His remarks were timely, well chosen and delivered in the usual, eloquent and impassionate manner, characteristic of him. Ill. J. L. H. Smith, Most Puissant Sovereign Grand Commander, addressed the brethren and sisters, thanking them for the liberal attendance. Too much praise cannot be given the organist and choir of the church for the delightful music, both vocal and instrumental. Promptly at 12 o'clock the Most Puissant Sovereign Grand Commander, opened the United Supreme Council, thirty-third degree A. A. Scottish Rite of Freemasonry for the Southern jurisdiction of the United States in the Consistorial Chamber of DeMolay Consistorial Sub Princes of the Royal Secrets at Macon, Ga., with the following Sovereign Grand Inspectors General and officers present: Illustrious Brethren of the 33d degree J. L. H. Smith, M. P. Sovereign Grand Commander; A. J.W. Tancil, P. Lleut. Grand Commander; O. J. W. Scott, Grand Prfor; J. H. Dickerson, Grand Chancellor; J. H. Walker, Grand Minister of State; J. P.

Lee, Grand Chamberlain; M. D. Meekings, Grand Standard Bearer; J. H. Johnson, Grand Sword Bearer; Rev. P. W. Williams, Grand Herald Bearer; Nelson Walker, Grand Seneschal The Supreme Council transacted routine business. Reports being read deputies of the following valleys, D. C.; Md.; Va.; Qa.; S. C.; Miss.; Fla.; La.; Mo.; Oakland and Indian Territory, Colorado, Cal.; and Texas and following special Deputy, Key West and Tampa City, Fla. The S. C. conferred the honorary 33d degree upon 15 Sublime Princes halling from the following valleys: Maryland, Key West, Mississippi and Georgia. The 19th annual session of the United Supreme Council was one of the most memorable sessions in its history. While we dispatched considerable business in the interest of the A. A. S. Rite of Freemasonry. The fact that the Council holding its 19th annual session in the heart of the South and at a time when there seems to be so much unrest upon the part of the citizens of Macon, and at the roll call of officers, at the opening of the Council every elected officer but one was present, is far-reaching and will redown to the good of legitimate A. A. S. Rite Masonry in the future. It was the first time in the Supreme Council that we could charter a Pullman car to convey the officers to the city of meeting. We cannot close this account of our trip to "Dixie," without thanking our Illustrious Peer and Bro. E. W. Lampton, 33d degree, Deputy for the Valley of Mississippi, for his zeal in securing for us a Pullman car that the officers may travel as gentlemen.

Scotch Newspaper Grows Severe in Referring to Disorder at Georgia's Capital. Glasow, Oct. 20.—Special Cablegram of the Bee.—The Glasgow Herald, pertains the most influential paper in Scotland, says of the recent race plot in te southern part of the United States The news from Georgia reads like a story. Russian barbarities. If we substitute Atlanta for Odessa and murdered egreses for tortured Jews we can draw distinction between the tales of cruelty and horror except that the shack attaching to the misdeeds of an morant populace and the inflamed oldiery deepens into infamy when two actors in such outbursts of saviury are men usually described as intelligent, educated and normally human. One can forgive a Russian bureaucracy recalling the indignation that swee over the United States when the agedy of Kishlneff was related, looked on this picture and on this and claiming, "Physician, heal thyself!" Or a Cuban jealous of recent ever Inviting President Roosevelt to this own house in order before vering to dictate to an alien menage. Unless we are to suppose that the client fued between North and Sou'regarding the Negro is accountable gross exaggeration, it is difficult conceive of anything more rebukefe of American pride in America's civilation and enlightenment than the lies told of the outrages inflicted on people whose chief vice appears be that they have black skins prognathous jaws.

Having received an invitation from Elm Grove's pastor and our end, Rev. R. H. Thomas, we four ourselves, Saturday morning, Over 27th, speeding away, via S. H. going south, to Darien Junction, from thence, via D. & W., to Hul We reached our destination all and then went to the very comfortable and harpy home of Brother Sister John Hutcherson, where spent one of the most pleasant stories of our lives. That dear family is their pastor and his guest what the Bethany family was to our Savior. The Sabbath morning found us fresh and vigorous to begin upon the very busy day. At eleven o'clock we were at the meeting house, with a full choir and a representative congregation ready to enter into the services of the Master. It was the 18th anniversary of the church. A brother was to be ordained to the deaconry of the church. The Lord's Supper was to be celebrated. Escorted by the pastor, who always believes in starting on time, we assemended the rpstrum. After the preliminary, we attempted, in the name of our Master, to preach from Acts, 6:55, using as a subject, "An Ideal Deacon." A very unique and spirited minded representative was there from the following churches; Friendship Baptist Church, from Harrison Neck, 20 miles away; St. Luke Baptist Church, from Saplo Island; Carnegie Emanuel Baptist Church, four miles away; First A. B. Church, Darlen; First A. B. Church, Meridian, together with the earnest Christian people of Elm Grove. There were enough solemn amens, nods of the heads and joyful tears to make one feel that preaching the gospel of Christ is not the most unappreciated task in the world. The ordaining of the deacon and celebration of the Lord's Supper seemed to have given the Christians a peculiar pleasure, after which an intermission was given, and the good women of Hudson made an outlay that satisfied the inner physical man. At four o'clock the bell tapped for Sunday School. Old men, old women, young men, young women, boys and girls were soon occupying their places, not as spectators, but as participants, and for one hour every mind seemed to have been absorbed in "Jesus Anointed in Bethany" Eight o'clock we were again in our places to listen to a very entertaining and instructive program under the auspices of the Sunday School, assisted by the representatives of the visiting schools. The spiritual interest was at such a flood that one would think, perhaps, that there was no financial side, but not so, at the close of the meeting it was announced that the handsome sum of $15 had been given to the Lord. To our very pleasant surprise, after the church, through her officers, had made us feel that they believed in the doctrine, a, workman is worthy of his here, the Sunday School impressed us along the same line, more forcibly than many churches of a like membership. May the Lord bless the good people of Elm Grove and their energetic Christian pastor. Yours for Christ, I. J. YANCY. TEACHERS AND STUDENTS AT THE STATE FAIR. Hundreds will attend on Education Day, Friday, November 16th. Holidays granted in some cities. Athletic events between colleges. Football between the big colleges. The superintendents of the principal cities of the state, including Atlanta, Macon, Augusta and Columbus, have granted holidays or leaves of absence (on salary) to all teachers and students who wish to attend the Negro State Fair. Teachers and students from all over the state will be present and participate in the exercises of that day. On that day the various premiums for the best school exhibits and prizes won by students in individual contests and displays will be announced and awarded.

There will be a great meeting of the most prominent educators and teachers in the state and south during the morning. Prominent among the features of that day will be the athletic contests between some of the schools of the state. On Thursday and Saturday, football games between Atlanta Baptis College, Greensboro A. & M. College, Haines Institute, Tuskegee, Talladega and Georgia State Colleges.
