The Savannah Tribune. ROOSEVELT IS FIRM Stands Pat on Orders Disbanding Colored Troops. TAFT ADVISED BY CABLE Secretary of War is Told to Cease Dal- lying in the Matter—Army Officers' Report on the Brownsville Affair Made Public. The war department at Washington issued the following statement Wednesday concerning the negro troops ordered dismissed at Fort Reno: "In the matter of the order discharging the enlisted men of three companies of the twenty-fifth infantry issued by the president, application was presented to the secretary of war by a large number of persons asking a rehearing by the president on the ground on which the action was taken. The secretary telegraphed the president of the application and delayed the proceedings of the discharge until the president could indicate his destres. The secretary was in the meantime called out of town. No answer was received from the president. The secretary on his return did not feel justified in further delaying the execution of the order of discharge, especially in view of the fact that the secretary then learned the president had fully and exhaustively considered the argument against the order of the persons who now applied for a rehearing. Accordingly, the secretary directed yesterday (Tuesday) that the proceedings for discharge be continued without delay." Later in the day, Secretary Taft received a dispatch from President Roosevelt and issued the following additional statement: "A telegram was received from the president at 11 o'clock today after the previous statement was given out at the war department, in which he declined to suspend the discharge unless there are new facts of such importance as to warrant cabling him. He states that the action was taken after due consideration, and that the only matter to which he can pay heed is the presentation of facts showing the official reports to be in whole or in part untrue, or clearly excultating some individual. If any such facts later appear he can act as he deems advisable, but thus far nothing has been introduced to warrant the suspension of the order, and he directs that it be executed." The investigation of the conduct of the negro troops of companies B, C and D, twenty-fifth infantry, as reported upon by Major Blocksom, inspector general's department; Lieutenant Colonel Lovering, fourth infantry, acting Inspector general, and Brigadier General Garlington, Inspector general of the army, was made public at the war department in a volume entitled "The Affray at Brownsville, Texas." Major Blocksom declares that the affair was preconcerted, and both he and General Garlington exonerate the officers from blame, General Garlington says it was evident from the first that the three companies had entered into a compact to give no information about the affair. Secretary Taft said that no steps will taken to make a further investigation of the conduct of the officers. If his summary of the reports made by the other officers and of his own efforts to discover the guilty soldiers Brigadier General Garlington declares that every means of getting evidence concerning the shooting was exhausted. All the men of the three companies were talked with individually on different occasions, he says, and the dire consequences of their failure to give up the guilty soldiers were pointed out. All the soldiers avoided questions and even refused to discuss the events at Brownsville. "The secretive nature of the race, where crimes are charged to members of their color is well known," says General Garlington. "Under the conditions, self-protection or self-interest is the only lever by which the casket of their minds can be pried open. Acting upon this principle, the history and record of the regiment to which they belong, the part played by these old soldiers in this record, were pointed out and enlarged upon. The odium and disgrace to the battalion and its individual members by this crime were indicated. The future effect upon the individuals and upon the battalion as a whole was referred to; and, finally, the concern of the president of the United States in the matter, his desire and the desire of the war department to separate the innocent from the guilty were explained, but without effect." BISHOP TIGERT DEAD. Killed by Small Chicken Bone Which Lodged in His Throat—Operation Was Performed, But In Vain. Bishop John J. Tigert of Louisville, Ky., died in Tulsa, Indian Territory, early Wednesday morning after an illness of ten days, aged 50 years. Bishop Tigert was taken ill while attending a church conference at Atoka, but disregarded the advice of his physician to rest. He went to Tulsa Intending to open the conference there on the 14th, but was compelled o take to his bed. His illness was caused by the lodgment of a piece of chicken bone just below the tonsils. This, combined with an operation which was performed caused an inflammation of the throat and resulted in blood poisoning. It was first announced that the trouble was tonsillitis. The body of Bishop Tigert was embalmed and placed in a casket in the parlor of the Brady hotel, where a last view was given to hundreds of friends in Tulsa. The casket was taken aboard the St. Louis and San Francisco eastbound train Wednesday afternoon on the way to Nashville. The news of the bishop's death was withheld from Mrs. Tigert, who is suffering from acute heart disease. The dead bishop was a son of John J. and Mary Ann Veghten Tigert of Louisville, where he was born November 25, 1856. He was graduated in the schools of Louisville and at Vanderbilt university. He was granted a license to preach in September, 1875. From 1890 to 1894 he was a professor at Vanderbilt university, and in 1894 he was elected book editor, a position held in southern Methodism until he was elevated to the college of bishops at the last session of the general conference in Birmingham, Ala., in May, 1906. He married Miss Amella McTyeire, daughter of the late Bishop H. N. McTyeire, first president of Vanderbilt university. The marriage was an elopement affair. Bishop Tigert leaves a wife and six children. Bishop Tigert was regarded as one of the ablest minds in southern Methodism. Bishop Tigert's father was a Louisville contractor and the bishop himself drove a wagon for years and in this way earned enough money to educate himself. PRESIDENT IN PORTO RICO. Takes Trip in Auto and Makes Many Speeches to Islanders. President Roosevelt Wednesday journeyed in an automobile over the famous military road from Ponce to San Juan and was accorded an ovation by the people of Porto Rico. The eighty mile trip was made in six hours and thirty minutes, counting the time taken up by stops at the principal towns along the route, where the president made shortspeeches to the people. The president, in all his addresses, dwelt upon the affection he held for the people of Porto Rico and assured them that he would use every effort to secure citizenship for them. President Roosevelt arrived at Ponce Wednesday morning from Colon on board the battleship Louisiana. He was visited on board by Governor Winthrop, who extended a welcome to the island. The president at once went ashore and was greeted at the pier by Mayor Oppenheimer of Ponce and a delegation of prominent officials and citizens. The town, which was profusely decorated in the president's honor, was crowded with people from the surrounding country eager to greet Mr. Roosevelt. TRYING TO BLUFF TILLMAN. Card Writer Says He Will Be Shot if He Attempts to Lecture A postal card was received in Chicago Wednesday by the authorities, threatening injury to Senator Tillman of South Carolina if he persisted in giving a lecture for the benefit of the Chicago Union hospital. The threat on the card was as follows: "The Honorable Ben Tillman will not speak. If he does he will be shot by a mulatto who will go in the hall unattended." · CHISHOLM DECLARED SANE. Plea of Bank Embezzler Did Not Go With Special Jury. A Birmingham, Ala., dispatch says; The jury which heard the evidence upon the insanity issue in the case of Alexander R. Chisholm, charged with embezzling large sums of money from the First National bank, Wednesday, returned a verdict in the United States court. The jury decided that Chisholm is sane, and in sufficient possession of his mental faculties to be placed on trial. SAVANNAH. GA.: SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 24. 1906. DOUBLE-TRACK Southern is Forced to Increase Its Facilities. South's Prosperity Proves Too Much for Great System—Contract is Let to Oliver; Company of Knoxville, Tennessee. A special from Charlotte, N. C., states that the Southern railway has just let a contract for double tracking the main line between that city and Atlanta. The contracting firm is the Oliver company of Knoxville, Tenn., one of the largest in the south. The undertaking is monumental and it is not improbable that the Oliver people will sublet contracts to smaller companies. This information comes from an authentic source. The work will be begun by December 1 or January 1. It will probably take three or four years to do this work, as aside from the double trackage, the course of the track will be changed at many points, and the curves and grades done away with as far as possible. The line, when completed, will be almost a new one. Oliver Brothers already have a contract for improving the freight yards in Charlotte, and Tuesday morning ninety-three-mules and two steam shovels were brought in for the work. The Southern has been forced to this proposition on account of the congestion of traffic which it has been unable to meet with its present facilities. Double tracking has been in progress north of Charlotte to a considerable extent and the second line has been laid between several of the larger cities as far north as Danville. It is probable that the line will be double-tracked between Charlotte and Spencer, in order to eventually give double trackage all the way between Washington and Atlanta. NO REVOCATION OF ORDER Unless Facts as Known Are Shown to A cable dispatch from President Rosevelt declining to suspend his order discharging the negro troops of the twenty-fifth regiment unless the facts as known to him are shown to be false, but expressing his willingness to hear new facts bearing upon the case, was made public at Washington Tuesday by Glychrist Stewart of the Constitutional League. Mr. Stewart cabled Roosevelt at Ancon, Panama, as follows: "Republican county committee unanimously denounces discharge of colored soldiers. Parsons, Olcott, Bennett, committee, petitioning department, Newspapers emphatic. ©Developments and new facts warrant an immediate suspension of order." The president's reply contained the following: "Unless facts as known to me are shown to be false, the order will, under no circumstances, be revoked, and I shall not for one moment consider suspending it on a simple allegation that there are new facts until these new facts are said before me. Inform any persons having new facts to have them in shape to lay before me at my return, and I will then consider whether or not any further action by me is called for. The president's view is that the negro soldiers, in refusing information, necessary to the apprehension of the men who committed the criminal acts at Brownsville, Texas, struck at the very heart of military justice and discipline. Had the white troops done this same thing, they would have suffered the same penalty. As previously published, Major General Alnsworth, military secretary, acting under orders of Taft, directed that further discharges of the negro companies of the twenty-fifth Infantry, on account of the shooting at Brownsville, Texas, be suspended pending further orders. "AN UNSUSPECTED SAVAGE." Judge Speer So Characterizes Vagabond Negro in Charge to Jury. Judge Emory Speer delivered, in some respects a sensational charge to the federal grand jury at the opening of the United States court in Augusta, Ga., Monday. Judge Speer discussed the crimes of the negro against white women and declared that lynching is no deterrent. He declared that "our condition is worse than that of our forefathers of the frontier when the Indians were on the warpath. "For," declared the judge, "the savage is at our door and is unsuspected." GOING TO THE COURTS. Negroes Will Fight Order of Roosevelt . Diecharging Colored Tops. Attorneys Are Employed. Announcement was made in New York Saturday that Alexander S. Bacon and J. Douglas Wetmore, attorneys for the Afro-American council, have been employed by the negro soldiers of companies B, C and D, of the Twenty-Fifth Infantry, who have been ordered dishonorably dismissed from the United States army, to take steps for their re-instatement and to ascertain what rights they have, if any, to protect them against the effect of President Roosevelt's recent order debarring them from future employment in the government service. The statement is made that a number of persons, both white and black, have expressed their willingness to assist in bearing the expenses of the sult. Mr. Wetmore says he intends to have two bills introduced at the next session of congress on behalf of the Afro-American council, one depriving the president and secretary of war of the power to discharge soldiers without trials, and the other for the reconstitution of the negroes discharged from the Twenty-fifth infantry. Calls were sent out for special meetings of the ministerial association of negro preachers, the Baptist ministers meeting and the clerical union of Long Island to take action on President Roosevelt's attitude toward the negro troops. An: Appeal to Taft. Mary Church Terrell, a member of the Constitutional League, of New York, called upon Secretary Tatt at the war department at Washington Saturday by direction of the league and begged him to suspend, until the president returns, the execution of the order discharging without honor a battalion of the Twenty-fifth infantry at Fort Reno. In addition to this presentment from the league, Secretary Tatt also had before him a telegram containing resolutions adopted by the Republican county committee of New York, also praying that the ncgro troops be given a hearing and that meanwhile the execution of the order be suspended. Secretary Taft pointed out that the section complained of was a presidential order. He said that he had already caused an inquiry to be made of General McCaskey, the department commander at San Antonio, as to what had been done toward executing the order, and he further intimated that he might communicate with the president upon the subject. PRESIDENT LEAVES PANAMA. Expressed Himself as Pleased With Condition of Canal Affairs. A special from Colon says: President Roosevelt had a conference Friday night with the heads of the various canal departments and went aboard his train at Tivoli at 8:30 o'clock Saturday morning to begin the homeward journey. As the train passed Camp Elliott, the martens there were lined up for review and the band played "The Star Spangled Banner." At Gatun, Presqueat and Mrs. Roosevelt disembarked and climbed the hill where the big dam and locks will be located. President Roosevelt said he was pleased with the condition of affairs and the system now established in the zone. The president expects to arrive at Fonecón, Porto Rico, on Wednesday. After tanding there he will cross the island in an automobile, and will embark at San Juan, Thursday for Hampton Roads. AS PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE Negro Acquitted on Criminal Assault Charge Still Held in Jail. After being acquitted on the charge of criminally assaulting Mrs. Camp, Joe Glen spent Friday night in the Tower, at Atlanta, and will probably spend several days in the same place purely as a matter of precaution in view of the inflamed state of mind in the vicinity of the assault. The verdict of the jury met with general approval throughout the city. Services Were Being Held and Congregation Scattered Precipitately. A bomb was exploded in St. Peter's Church at Rome, Italy, Sunday. The edifice was crowded at the time and an indescribable scene of confusion followed. The people died in all directions, and several women fainted. The church is so large, however, that there was ample room for the crowd to scatter, and no one was injured. No trace of the perpetrator of the deed has been found. TURPENTINE TRUST Alleged by Uncle Sam to Exist in Georgia and Florida. CHARGE IS BEING PROBED Main Allegation Is That Naval Stores Monopoly is Too Close to That of Word comes from New York that the federal government is getting after "turpentine trust," which is supposed to have its headquarters in Savannah, Ga. The news is that the United States district attorney there is co-operating with the southern district of Georgia in this movement. It is alleged that a hard and fast agreement exists between the various constituent companies belonging to the so-called trust, and that the business and territory have been divided up in regular octopus fashion. It is intimated that the turpentine trust, so-called, is influenced and controlled to a greater or less degree by the Standard Oil company. It is known that the Standard Oil interests in the past have endeavored to abhor the turpentine and rosin industries. E. S. Nash, president of the New American Naval Stores company, just formed from the Patterson-Downing and S. P. Shotter companies, said that he did not know anything about the suggested prosecution. "Have the companies with which you are associated any connection with the Standard Oil?" Mr. Nash was asked. He declined to answer on the ground that the question was too personal in its nature. Alexander Akeiman, United States attorney, was in Savanah recently on business, now supposed to have had connection with naval stores matters. NEGRO STAVED OFF NOOSE. Gained Brief Respite from Gallows by Fighting Sheriff and Helpers. Fighting with the desperation of a man who has nothing to lose, Mims Devereaux, a negro sentenced to hang at Milledgeville, Ga., Friday, between the hours of 10 a. m. to 2 p. m., for the murder of another negro, kept at bay the sheriff and all available help for nearly two hours, the execution not being accomplished until one hour after the time named in the sentence, and not until nearly every means had been exhausted, including the pouring on him for three-quarters of an hour of water from the fire hose. The trouble started when the sheriff entered Devereaux's cell and ordered him to don his gallows clothes. The sheriff had just offered the clothes to him when Devereaux threw a full bucket of water in his face, following it with the bucket, which missed the sheriff, who stepped to one side. This was followed by another bucket, and a glass bottle, and another bottle, which forced the sheriff out of the corridor between the cells, as the sheriff did not wish to shoot him. The retreat of the sheriff left the negro in possession of his cell and the corridor between the cells. Finally three men made a dash for him at the risk of their lives and succeeded in overpowering him. Devereux was then securely tied and led upon the trap. His neck was broken and he died without a struggle. SPONSORS AND MAIDS BARRED. Give the Veterans First Honors, Say Daughters of Confederacy. Resolutions to abolish sponsors and malds of honor at reunions of United Confederate Veterans were adopted Friday by the United Daughters of the Confederacy in convention at Gulfport, Miss. Reunions, the resolutions state, apparently are no longer for the entertainment of the veterans, but rather for the entertainment of the sponsors and malds of honor. The large rums raised by the hostess cities are expended to give sponsors and malds the best hotels, while the veterans are lodged in vacant hotels and bedded on cots. EIGHTY-TWO DOLLARS FOR CENT Specimen of First Coinage Struck In 1793 Sold at Auction. A specimen of the first cent, struck in the United States mint in 1793, with thirteen links in a circle on the reverse, was sold for $82 in New York Friday at the end of a two days' sale of coins held at the Hotel Bartholdi. NO. 8. NEGRO EXCAPES NOOSE. Had Been Identified by Woman as Her Assailant, But, Through Accident, Is Proven Innocent. In just four and one-half minutes after a jury in the Fulton county superior court at Atlanta Friday afternoon, had retired, Joe Glenn, a negro, was found not guilty of the charge of criminally assaulting Mrs. J. N. Camp. Thus was brought to a close one of the most remarkable cases of its kind ever tried in the county—a case which will long stand as a precedent for other communities to follow; a precedent which will doubtless do much to save the unlawful and unprovoked shedding of human blood. On November 13 Mrs. Camp, a white woman, was assaulted by a negro who afterwards tied a leather thong around her throat, almost choking her to death. She did not know the name of her assailant. In a few hours Joe Glenn, a negro farmer living some three miles distant, was arrested. Mrs. Camp identified him as the man, although her first description did not coincide with the general appearance of the negro. On November 15 Glenn was indicted by the grand jury. Three prominent lawyers of the Atlanta bar were appointed counsel to defend him. Just one day later, after the fairest of trials, he was acquitted and the tolls began to fasten themselves around another negro, Will Johnson, who was captured in a remote section of the city while Glenn's trial was in progress. In fact, up to the time of the capture of this latter negro it looked very much as if Glenn would be convicted on a case of mistaken identity. Evidence that seemed proof positive pointed to him as the man. The victim of the assault had been confronted with him a few hours after the crime and declared him to be the man. Again, while on the stand telling her pitiful story, she had again seen him suddenly brought into the room. With every nerve of her sensitive woman's nature suffering the exquisite torture which only a woman in her position could feel, she cried cut: "You are the one—you, you low down rascal. Oh, I'd like to kill you. Yes, put on that old hat. You—you—you—" And then, words falling, she became convulsive with a paroxysm of violent weeping. Owing to this outburst on the woman's part a mistrial was asked. It was refused and the trial proceeded before a jury composed of some of the best citizens of the county. A number of character witnesses were introduced. All stated that Glenn was a hard-working negro who bore a good reputation in the community, paid his debts and had never been in trouble. Scarcely had the afternoon session begun, than the surprise of the day was sprung. The jury was retired and Judge Roan was informed that a negro had been captured in West End who tallied exactly with the description of Mrs. Camp's assailant. Pending his arrival several other witnesses were examined. Finally Will Johnson, a black negro of slender build, was ushered into the room. He sat covering in front of the judge's stand. Officer Buntyn was placed on the stand and stated that he had that day a few hours before arrested Johnson in West End. The negro had a double barrel shotgun and was acting suspiciously and when placed under arrest he was found to have on two suits of clothes, a pair of stockings, a pair of socks, while around his body was tide a mass of female clothing. He wore a slouch hat almost identical with that worn by the negro Glenn. The hat was turned up in front. The effect on the audience of this.unforeseen evidence was magical. What seemed certain guilt on the part of Glenn in the face of Mrs. Camp's identification was turned to doubt and then to certainty of his innocence. .WAIVED RIGHT TO TRIAL. Fear of Lynching Leads Negro to Enter Plea of Guilt. At Center, Texas, Dick Garrett, the negro who killed Mike-Paul Saturday, will be executed at once. After the funeral Tuesday afternoon friends of the murdered man were so wrought up that an attack on the jail was imminent. The accused sent for District Attorney Inboden, waived all his legal right and requested to be hanged immediately. Judge Davis agreed to take up the case, accept a plea of guilty, pronounce sentence and let the execution take place. The Guaranty Aid and Relief Society P. EDWARD PERRY, Vice President.

MARKING BRUSHES. Many housewives are fussy, and justly so, about their brushes. A brand new dust brush will be confiscated by the maid for use around the range, where it was intended for service on the stairway. In order that no brush may be applied to any other use than that for which it was intended it is a good expedient to mark them all. This is best done by sticking the end of a pocker in the hot coals and burning the backs of the brushes with large initials—S, for sink; H, for hearth and so on. This Spelling Problem By Mark Twain. HERE are 82,000,000 of us people that have to spell, and orthography ought to be simplified in our behalf, but it is kept in its present condition to satisfy 1,000,000 people who like to have their literature in the old form. That looks to me to be rather selfish, and we keep the forms as they are while we have got 1,000,000 people coming in here from foreign countries every year, and they have got to struggle with this orthography of ours, and it keeps them back and damages their citizenship for years until they learn to spell the language, if they ever do learn. This is merely sentimental argument. People say it is the spelling of Chaucer and Spenser and Shakespeare and a lot of other people who did not know how to spell anyway, and it has been transmitted to us and we preserved it because of its ancient and hallowed associations. If that argument is good, then it would be a good argument not to banish the flies and the cockroaches from hospitals because they have been there so long that the patients have got used to them and they feel a tenderness for them on account of the associations. Why, it is like preserving a cancer in a family because it is a family cancer and we are bound to it by the test of affection and reverence and old mouldy antiquity. I think that this declaration to improve this orthography of ours is our family cancer, and I wish we could reconcile ourselves to have it cut out and let the family cancer go.

An editor said of the late Mrs. Craigie, or John Olliver Hobbes, as the brilliant American novelist was known: "I had the honor of dining with Mrs. Craigie during the London season at her beautiful house in Lancaster Gate. She lived there in great luxury with her father, who is a millionaire chemist. Across the street dwells the Earl of Meath, the Marquis of Allsa lives a few doors above, while next door is the mansion of the Earl of Dunmore, a Scottish peer, whose servants all wear the Highland costume, with the kilt, plaid and bare knees. "Mrs. Craigie was a superb mimic. Mimiery, as she had mastered it, is one of the fine arts. I remember well, that night at dinner, how she mimicked a silly, empty-headed little lady whose husband, a lover of gaiety, was inclined to neglect his wife. Mrs. Craigie told us that this lady, while spending the winter in the country, said one day at the country post office: "Dear me, what a silly mistake you post office people have made." How, madam, asked the clerk. "Why,' she explained, with a titter, 'here I have just gotten a letter from my husband, who is working hard in London, and the envelope is postmarked Mente Carlo.'"—Philadelphia Bulletin. MULCHING ORCHARD TREES. The Ohio station has been experimenting with four sets of apple trees to determine whether mulching pays. Each division had different treatment as to tillage. In one cast absolutely clean culture was given—that is, tillage tools were used all through the season. In another culture was kept up until in July when a "cover crop" like clover or cowpeas was seeded and left to grow. On still another a circle around the trees was kept stirred with a hoe, whife all grass or weeds growing on the field were cut at intervals and left to decay where they fell. On the last this growth of grass and weeds was cut and all piled around the base of the trees—the trunk being protected by a band of wire cloth. The trees were planted on sloping ground, and the thorough culture was a failure from the start, because the rains washed and gullied the surface so that it was necessary to stop the cultivators. The best results were obtained where the grass and weeds were cut and piled around the trees. These trees not only made a stronger growth, but came into bearing earlier than the others, Parisian life seems to agree, with Parisians. The latest figures show in the city 10,509 octogenarians and 620 nonagenarians. of whom 89 are nearly 100. Six are over 102 years of age.

SOUTHERN ROSES and NORTHERN LILACS "Oh!—Oh!—Oh!" The woman in black turned and saw Helen drop to her knees. She was at her side in a moment. "Beautiful!" Helen was saying into the depths of the creamy roses. "Where did they come from?" "From Virginia; came by mail yesterday," said the woman in black in a soft Southern drawl. Helen noticed the accent, and thought it sweet. She did not know it was Southern. "I put them here for him." The woman in black pointed to the nama on the marble siab. "He did me—did us—a very great kindness years ago." She was on her knees now, beside Helen, helping to arrange the white lilacs. "I love them so, the flowers," she said. A robin was caroling overhead. Faintly there came to them the thrum, thrum of a drum, and far down the road a cloud of white dust was rising. "It was a beautiful day, just like to-day," the stranger was saying, in her soft, Southern drawl. "Nature was joyously, exuberantly happy, but our hearts were heavy and sad. It seemed to me as if mine was broken, as if I could never be happy and merry again. Down in our pasture, tents were pitched. From our side plaza we could see blue coats moving about them. I hated those blue-coated men — mauders — I called them by every despicable epithet I could think of. I hated them because they were quartered on us without invitation. Only a few weeks before, a party of them came into our garden, and one of them went along and smashed the sashes of our hotbeds with his heel, and they helped themselves to our radishes and early vegetables. When old Tom called to them to 'leave' thar, we wants 'em to eat,' they laughed at him and retorted: "We want 'em to eat, too, old Mr. Blackbird!" "To tell the truth, we had not very much to eat in those days; we were so short rations often, and now I reflect they must have been, too, those boys in blue. I hated them most, I think, because only a few days before they had killed and eaten my pet heifer. "Oh child, those were hard days, cruel days! But hardest on us in whose homes and dooryards the fierce, bloody battles were fought. Our house was watched. I'd seen the men picketed about it. We were suspected of harboring an escaped prisoner, a spy, they deemed him. A squad of blue coats came riding up on lane one morning. They were coming to search our premises. We'd expected this for several days. They dismounted and tied their horses to the garden fence. One of them came to me. I was sitting on a bench alongside the house. Over it I'd spread a rug I'd fetched from the half. "The officer explained, or attempted to explain to me that he had seen detailed to the painful duty of searching our house. 'Don't,' I interrupted, 'make any apologies; they're quite out of place at such a time, and from you. Our permission you do not need—we are at your mercy, sir!' "I could have struck him dead, standing there, cap in hand, had I been able. I think I looked my hatred. He looked embarrassed, pained. At a signal from him the men entered the house. He had bidden them give as little offense as possible and be quick. He stood there, cap in hand, while the men were inside—it seemed to me they were ages inside. His face was partly averted. It was a fine, noble face, a face to win confidence. He may have a mother at home, or a sister or a sweetheart at home. I thought. I had never associated these tender ties with my hated enemies before. The men came out and he went toward them, and it seemed, led them away from me. "All right," he said, 'I was quite sure there was no one concealed inside that house.' Did he emphasize the word inside? I thought he did, was sure he did, and the thought froze the blood in my veins. "He came back and stood guard over me. What did he mean to do next? Oh, how anxiously I studied his face while his men searched our outbuildings. And when they had done, he pointed to their horses, then turning to me, cap still in hand, he said: "I hated to make this search, but we have to obey orders. Say to them, to your people, that you will not be subjected to this annoyance again while I am on duty, but I shall be relieved of duty here at 8 o'clock to-morrow morning—$ 0 o'clock to-morrow morning,' he emphasized. "I know what he meant. I know he meant 'get your house in order before that.' Tears sprang to my eyes, tears of gratitude, tears of relief. I would have sprung up and gone to him and shaken his hand, had I dared to get up. 'Oh sir, thank you, thank you.' I murmured, and reached him a couple of roses off the bush that grew beside me, the parent of that bush." The woman in black pointed to the creamy roses on the soldier's grave. "He came and took them from me, bowed low, and mounted his horse. Then I saw Benny's feet sticking out from under the rug, Benny, for whom they were searching. And I knew that that officer had seen them, too. I'd been literally sitting on Benny all that time—making a bench of him." "Oh, he did see them, grandpa told me he did," broke in Helen, "and he told me how sorry he felt for you, and said he kept the roses a long time, a very long time. And you were the beautiful girl?" The woman in black blushed and looked very beautiful to Helen. "I was the girl," she said. "And Benny said I nearly crushed the breath out of him, I was so heavy." "Benny was your brother?" "No, he was my playfellow, and afterwards my husband. "We got him away that night, in old Tom's clothes." "Grandpa said he hoped you would, for your sake. And he is——" "Dead; has been these many years." The woman in black touched her somber dress severely. The thrum, thrum, thrum had been sounding louder and the cloud of dust had been coming nearer, along the road. The little procession of veterans turned up the avenue of the cemetery. The woman in black and the girl in white put the last lingering touches to their floral tribute, the rose from Virginia, and the lilacs from York State, on the Federal soldier's grave and passed down the little narrow walk, arm in arm, as the little procession of veterans came up the Driveway—American Agriculturist. FORESTS TURN TO PAPER. Acres of Trees Consumed Daily in Ephemeral Literature. If one asked "the man in the street" what paper was made of, writes R. K. Duncan, in Harper's Magazine, he would almost certainly say "rags," and for the fair white sheet upon which I write this would be true, but for paper in general the answer would be absurdly inadequate for there exists not one thousand part of "rags" that would be necessary. Our civilization exists largely on a paper basis, and in England alone it requires 650 mills, producing some 30,000 tons a week, to fulfil our needs. To feed these mills science laid her hand on cellulose, which we cannot make, but can only take from plants. In the plant the cellulose of the cell walls, with the exception of cotton, which is unique, does not stand up pure and free and uncombined, but exists always incrusted chemically with some other substance. The substance of woody fibre is thus always cellulose X, and the problem for science is either to manufacture paper directly out of cellulose X (lingo cellulose or wood fibre) or to devise some practical method of extracting the X substance from the cellulose and thus obtain it pure and for paper. Both methods are practiced to-day. Paper boxes, wrapping paper and almost all the newspapers of the land are made, not of rags, but simply of disintegrated deal boards pounded and mashed and amalgamated into paper. Any one of the large London or American daily papers consumes each day fully ten acres of average forest. Such paper does not last. The wood fibre out of which it is made is, unilike pure cellulose, acted upon by light and air and water and the organisms of decay. This is bad, but not wholly bad, for most of the literature appearing on this paper is made as mechanically as the paper itself, and it is fitting that it should be as ephemeral in fact as it is in nature. But sometimes Literature (with a capital L) appears on this wooden foundation—and that is a tragedy. Had Mr. Pepys written his admirable dalry upon what we call "scribbling paper," we would to-day have no Mr. Pepys. England alone every year imports some 350,000 tons of this mechanical wood pulp to turn it into paper. She imports also some 200,000 tons of what is called "chemical wood pulp"—i.e., wood from which the incrusting impurities have been removed and which consists of cellulose almost pure. Testing Missionary's Patience. The Rev. Frederick B. Bridgeman, the noted and successful missionary to the Zulus, was talking in Philadelphia about missionary work. "I am very hopeful of it," he said. "I may be a little too hopeful because I have had such good success. It is better, though, to be too hopeful than too doubting. "Much depends upon the character of the people one works among, and I can sympathize a little with a missionary who returned home from China in a very despondent mood. "A Chinese convert stole this missionary's watch and then came back to him the next morning to learn how to wind it up."—Boston Globe. RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD. ```markdown ``` K JOHN D.

A New York man has patented a barrel that seems to have solved the problem, an illustration of which is shown here. It is termed a "knockdown" and can be readily assembled when desired and as readily disassembled when its contents have been removed. It can then be packed in a small space to facilitate transportation. This barrel is made in two sections, preferably of sheet metal, and in form resembles the common type of barrel. The longitudinal edges are divided into tongues, each alternate tongue having double edges, forming recesses into which the interlocking tongues in the opposite section con- LAURENCE TOWARD NEW WIDE GRANTY HUM.

The medals will be struck of bronze at the Philadelphia Mint. Most of the devices explain themselves. The castle on the Spanish War medal is taken from the heraldic castle on the coat of arms of the kingdom of Spain, modified by the addition of round towers at the corners to suggest the Cuban "morros." The lamp and scales on the Philippine medal remind us of our character as bearers of enlightenment and justice. The designs are better explained as follows: 1, Civil War medal; 2, reverse; 3, medal of merit; 4, reverse; 5, Philippine Insurrection medal; 6, reverse of 5, 7, 8' and 9, with name varied; 7, Indian Wars medal; 8, Spanish War medal; 9, China Relief Expedition medal. 3 ned a wig and has been blessed with a papers to juggle with the phrases If President Roosevelt's inheritance are affected by it than Mr. Rockefeller connect.

Seed For Mowing and Pasturing. A good mixture of seed for mowing, to be followed by pasture, according to a Pennsylvania correspondent, is six quarts of timothy, sown with wheat, followed in the spring, without plowing, with a mixture of four quarts red clover, two quarts alsike, four quarts redtop. The clovers, he says, will hold two years and the other grasses will tack their place.—American Callivator. Hay Stacker The hay derrick shown here is for stacking hay in the field. The skids are ten by twelve inches, sixteen feet long. The two cross pieces are eight by ten inches, eight feet long, each set in two inches. The upright post For Stacking Hay. is eight by eight and nine feet high. The three braces are four by four, or round poles. The boom pole is thirty-two feet long, four inches at top and eight or ten at butt. The chain can be shortened to raise the boom or lengthened to lower. The boom is swung by a swing rope, as can be seen. "A" shows the fork on which boom pole is swung. The hole in the post is lined with a piece of gas pipe with solid plug in bottom. A six-tine grapple fork can be used. Small Barnyards Best. From an economic standpoint most barnyards are too large. The loss of fertility is far greater in a large than a small one. This loss is not so noticeable in newly settled fertile sections of the country as in States east of the Mississippi River, where the once fertile land has been robbed of its organic matter. Thousands of farmers lose every year in keeping their stock in large yards during the feeding season enough fertility to equal in value a ton or more of the most expensive fertilizer. If the yard is large with a high, dry place at one side, the stock will congregate there and the richest droppings are lost by being trampled in and mixed with the soil, unless the surface soil is all hauled to the field, which it would often pay to do. Many yards extend to a creek or are located on a hillside, from which the loss is very heavy, unless the washings extend over a pasture or cultivated field. The better plan is to make the yard as small as possible consistent with convenience and also have it protected with a roof to a great extent. The saving of fertilizer and promotion of the comfort of the animals will pay a large annual interest on the investment.—The Epitomist. Peach Yellons. When the Connecticut Legislature enacted a law a few years ago making it compulsory upon those who owned peach trees to cut and burn all that were affected by the yellows it was opposed by many as a useless expense, and even some of the peach growers thought such action could not save the other trees in the orchards or near them, while a few denied that the disease was contagious or that diseased trees were a menace to other trees. Yet, if we may judge by the reports in the Connecticut papers the action produced as good results as its advocates hoped for. Old peach, orchards were saved and the planting of new orchards encouraged, so that they now boast of a peach crop unprecedented in quantity or quality in the history of the State. It should encourage the planting of peach trees in other places. Eastern Massachusetts once produced peaches in abundance, but this disease killed many of the trees, and as farmers did not know how to save them they failed to set any more, until there are but few neighborhoods where even enough are grown by any one for family use and none for market. Yet the soil and the climate have not changed since the days when farmers had to feed peaches to their pigs after their families and neighbors had eaten all they wanted.—Boston Cultivator. Young Stock Upon the Perches. It is a, common mistake among poultrymen to induce the young stock to take to the perches too young. Especially does such a practice work injury among the heater breeds, says Michigan Farmer. Leghorns and the smaller variety are much less subject to injury. In the majority of poultry nouses nothing better than a round pole about, one and one-half inches in diameter is provided for a roost, and when young stock spend the long nights on these, before the bones have become hardened, the result is almost surely crooked breast bones and consequently deformity. This may not, particularly injure the capacity for producing eggs, but in a show specimen it is liable to disqualify the fowl. Many experienced poultrymen recommend a flat perch at least three inches wide, while some think four inches wide still better. If the chicks take to the perches too young, of their own accord, the only course is to remove the perches and compel them to remain on the floor. Be careful that the floor is kept free from lice and the chicks will usually remain there contentedly. Even though deformed pullets lay as many eggs, we who take pride in flocks of pure bloods do not wish deformity, whether we are exhibitors or not. Facts About Turkers. Inbreeding will quickly invite failure. Breeding turkeys can be profitably kept up to the fifth year. Breeders generally will not breed from the same gobbler more than one year, unless the same breeding hens are also retained. In the selection of Bronze turkey breeders, the body should be long and deepest at the centre, with a full breast, broad back, strong thighs and stanks of moderate length. In young birds the shanks are a dead black, but they grow lighter with age, until they become of a pink or flesh color. The hen turkey is more in demand in market than is the male. A medium-sized carcass sells best. Mashed potatoes mixed with cornmeal, alternated with shelled corn, is the most general diet used for fattening turkeys. When the least indisposed the turkey will hold its head down between its shoulders and refuse food. During incubation a turkey can cover from fifteen to twenty eggs, while an ordinary hen cannot cover more than half that number. Eight hens to a cock is a good mating, and which should produce about 200 young. Geer says the market turkey should be shorter in legs and neck than is the general case; and very full in the breast. A good plan, in killing turkeys, is to tie their feet together, hand the bird on a pole, and then cut the thragt so as to bieed freely. They should be dry-picked, leaving head and wings on. After being picked, dip in hot water, and then in cold, which will give the skins a fresher look. Some turkey raisers prefer marketing the toms in the month of December, and keep the heens until later, so that they may increase in weight and command a better price. A plump young turkey, dressing from eight to fifteen pounds, finds a market at almost any season of the year. If in good condition when put up, turkey hens can be fattened in about three weeks' time, but cocks would require a week or more longer. An English writer says there are two points to consider before choosing the breed of turkey, viz., whether the birds are to be reared with the purpose of making a profit with them, or whether they are only for home consumption. If the former, he selects the Bronze variety. He says for profit it is purely a question of obtaining birds of the heaviest possible weight when they are from six to nine months old. He further says that not only does this breed produce heavy weight, but quality of flesh is also obtained—Poultryman. Protected Milk Pail That many of the odors and much of the dirt which gets into milk is during the process of milking, most of us know, hence every precaution to overcome this should be taken. One of the best methods of protecting the milk in the pail is to arrange a cover of tin and cheese cloth, says the Indianapolis Sentinel. Have a tin cover made to go over the pail loosely so as to allow for the space taken by the cloth strainer. The tin cover should be higher in the centre 6 Cutece Cloth Cover For Milk Pail than at the sides (see small cut to right) and a hole about four inches in diameter made in the front centre through which the milk is directed. Then have plenty of cheese cloth covers large enough to reach five or six inches over the side of the pail, where it may be secured by a tape or by slipping a hoop of sheet iron of proper size over it and pushing it down hard. Put on one of these covers, then the tin cover and you are ready for milking. The cheese cloth will prevent any fifth getting to the milk, and if these covers are washed in holling water and sun-dried they may be used a number of times. The illustration shows the idea plainly, the cut to the lower left showing the pail complete with the strainer and the larger cut showing how the cloth is slashed at intervals so it will fit in and the rail without trouble. eo hlCOti(‘(iti;w*étCt OCR Tho Savannah Tribune Pogtismmn Evzey SaToRay, BY THE TRIBUNE PUBLISHING CO ~ 116 W. 8.

As arace wo have much for which to be thankful. During the past few months many things have happened that tend to disckurage us as a race, but they should only spur us on and cause us to overcome great- er obstacles The action of our white neighbors to curtail our rights, and discriminate against us in many ways. should be an incentive for binding ourselves together for moral up-lift and financial betterment. Despite everything that is done to us, we can look forward with pride for future success. Ovr Friend Lewis, in the Me- tropolis aptly says that : “There are entirely too many idle boys and girls in the city, who do not g2 to school nor are they at any ind of work. It is a common hing when a man or woman is caught ipfpome crime of a serious nature to hear many express won der asto how the unfortunate one ever came by such bad habits when all of the world knows that crime has its nest bed in ildeness. No befter lesson can be taught than that of the value of time and a wise use of the same. The boy or girl who is allowed to pass day after day in some frivolous nonsense, often highly questionable in its nature, can not be of much con- sequence after reaching maturi- ty. Andifsucha one becomes of any use to self or others it will be after many bard knocks dealt by the big stick of every day experience, with many probabilities of being knocked entirely out of the race. Tdte- ness is a danger and a menace. It has never in all human affairs product any good thing. arents and othets whofhave the care of the young will do much in real character building if at all times and in everything they would seriously intpress this fact upon the young.” Whatis true of Jacksonville is also true of Savannah. Some- thing must be done to reclaim a number of our boys and girls, especially the hoodlum boys who frequent places of amuse- ment and make it unpleasant for others. State Fair Ended. Monday last terminated the first State Colored Fair ever held in Georgia. It was very success- ful and the directors are en- couraged to make it bigger and better next year. It was antici- pate that there would be trouble during the fair. but this was not realized. There werea number of officers on the grounds but their services were not needed despite the large number of at- tendants each day and night. As mentioned last week, the ex- hibits were the best and nicely arranged. The experience of this year will cause more system in its conduct next year no doubt, which will add much to the sta- bility and usefulness of the movement. Congregational State Convention. The General Convention ol Georgia that convened last week at Thomasyille, at Bethany Congregational Church was well attended, interesting and profit- able. The program was full of good things from beginning to end. The various subjects dis- cussed and the able papers pre- sented were practicable ones that affected the every day life of the church, Sunday schoo} and Christiari Endeavor society. The reports from the chtrches showed both a deepening of the spiritual life and the material progress of the work. One of the great treats of the convention was the presence, on hia first trip south, of Prof. F, XK. Sanders, formerly “Dean of the Divinity School of Yale University and recently elected Secretary of the Congress tonal Sanday.School and Publication Society. He delivered two very able addresses, one of which was on “The work of the Congre- gational Sunday School and Publication Society.” Dr. San- ders is enthusiastic in his work and is outliniug extensive plans for the future of the Society. One of the important measures considered by the convention was the advisability of recom- mending the appointment of a General Superintendent of Sun day schools for the work among the churches in the South. Such arepresentative man, because of racial affinity, could be of special help to the churches. ‘The Secretary Dr. F K. Sanders ex- pressed his approval of the plan because of its broad and com- prehensive scope for the general development of the work. The closing sessions on Sun- day were attended in large num- bers. The morning sermon was preached by Rev. H. H. Proctor and the evening sermon by Rev. Geo. W. Moore. The parting words of the delegates praised the church for the excellent ses- sion held, and expressed their thanks to the citizens of Thomas ville for the generous hospitality tendered them. The next session will be held at Athens and the Rev. A. T. Clark of Macon will preach the annual sermon. _ | Thanksgiving Service. ‘The usual service will be held at the First Congregational Church on Thanksgiving morn- ing, Thursday Nov, 29, at 11 o'clock.

COSTON, who departed this life Nov. 24, 1905. His loving disposition was endeared to all, And while our hearts are bleeding. Over the spirir that death has won, Let us all this solema morning, Calmy say Thy will be done ‘Though cast down we're not “forsaken Though afilicted not alone ‘Thou'hast given and Thou hast taken Blessed Lord Tay will be done. Though to-day we're filled with mourning Mercy still is on the throne, With thy smiles of love returning We can say Thy- will done. Loving Mother, and Sisters. Eva C. Washington Rebecca E.

Sherman were shocked on the death of their only child, Miss Alberta Sherman, which occurred in Atlanta on the 10th inst. She was of a bright mind and easily the leader of her associates. Had she lived she would have bloomed into a brilliant woman. She excelled in all of her studies and was always among the leaders of her classes. She graduated last spring from the Beach Institute, and with a number of her classmates and other students left last month to attend the Atlanta University. She was only sick a few days before her death. On Thursday she was confined to bed caused by appendicitis. Every possible care was taken of her but she grew gradually worse. Her parents were sent for and arrived in time to meet her alive. She died about 12:30 on Saturday. Memorial services were held in the chapel of the University and the five boys from Savannah and a former Savannahian, acted as pall bearers. The remains were taken to Hawkinsville on Sunday morning, where they were interred. The host of friends of the sorrowing mother and father extend their sincere sympathy in their hour of bereavement. Lived More Than Her Allotted Days. Mrs. Cynthia Randall died on Sunday morning Nov. 11, at the home of her daughter Mrs. A. E. Robinson. While very aged, she was confined to bed but a few days, and her death came unexpected. Mrs. Randall was born in Effingham County in 1820. She spent most of her life in this city and reared children with whom she spent comfortably and happily her expiring days. She was of a kindly disposition with a spirit to always be doing something. Her happiest moments were in elevating the cares and distresses of others, showing convincingly her nobleness of mind and purely unselfish make up. Those who were fortunate to know her, loved her, not only for her qualities as enumerated above but also for her cheerful disposition. Her death was a peaceful one like her life. There was no struggle, her life was simply wafted into eternal bliss. Mrs. Randall has been for a number of years a faithful member of St. Philip's Monumental church from which edifice she was buried. The services were conducted by Revs. J mes Jackson and S. L. Deas of Asbury M. E' church and Rev. G. Williams of the A. M. E. Church. A large number of friends of the family and members of the church were present to show their last respect. Mrs Randall is survived by three daughters, Mrs M. E. Myers, Mrs. A. E. Robinson, Mrs. O. L. Walker; several grand children, Miss C. Emma Lewis, Mr. E J. Robinson, Miss Mamie Robinson, Mrs. C. A. Lewis, Mrs. Amanda Carter, Mr. J. H. Proctor, Miss P. Walker and Masters A. Robinson and Chas. Walker and a great grand son Master H. F. Reid. The sympathy of a host of friends is extended to the bereaved family. Asbury's Anniversary. The thirty-seventh anniversary of Asbury M. E. church, Rey. S L Deas, pastor was celebrated last week beginning on Tuesday night and terminating on Sunday. An appropriate program was carried out and enjoyed by all who attended. Asbury is one of the leading churches in the city and its influence for uplift is strongly felt in this community. It has a beautiful edifice and number among its members some of our oldest and prominent families. Second Baptist Church. Rev. J. B. Anderson, the Illinois preacher, is still preaching in the revival at this church. Great crowds are thronging the church and conversions are numerous each afternoon at 4:30 and evening at 8:30 The church is being much revived and taking up their stations anew. Pastor May attended two funerals last week, in the funeral of Willie Feinn he was assisted by Kev. C. L. Hayes. Rev. C. Chatman is in active service in every meeting of the revival. Everybody cordially invited to attend. All pastors have a special invitation. Sunday (to-morrow) is to be a great day here. A special service will be held for children immediately after Sunday School, it is therefore hoped all parents will see to it that their children are present. Come to the meeting and make yourself perfectly at home. The Baptist Young People's Union of the F. A. B. Church Franklin Square, is progressing splendidly. They extend a cordial invitation to the public to visit their meetings each Wednesday evenings from 8:30 to 10 o'clock.

It is astonishing how great a change a few years of married life often make in the appearance and disposition of many women. The freshness, the charm, the brilliance vanish like the bloom from a peach which is rudely handled. The matron is only a dim shadow, a faint echo of the charming malden. There are two reasons for this change, ignorance and neglect. Fow young women appreciate the shock to the system through the change which comes with marriage and motherhood. Many neglect to deal with the unpleasant pelvic drains and weaknesses which too often come with marriage and motherhood, not understanding that this secret drain is robbing the check of its freshness and the form of its fairness. As surely as the general health suffers when there is derangement of the health of the delicate womanly organs, so surely when these organs are established in health the face and arm at once witness to the fact involved connecions.

A TIME OF PAIN AND PERIL Miss Kimma Cole Says that Lydia T. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has Saved Her Life and Made Her Well. How many lives of beautiful young girls have been sacrificed just as they were ripening into womanhood!

Miss Emma Cole A mother should come to her child's aid at this critical time and remember that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will prepare the system for the coming change and start this trying period in a young girl's life without pain or irregularities. Miss Emma Cole of Tullahoma, Tenn., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "I want to tell you that I am enjoying better health than I have for years, and I love it to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "When fourteen years of age I suffered almost constant pain, and for two or three years I had soreness and pain in my side, headaches and was dizy and nervous, and doctors all failed to help me. "Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetal Compound was recommended, and affects taking my health began to improve rapidly, and I think it saved my life.

Finest remedy made PRETTY THINGS TO WEAR 12 New York City.—Every variation of the shirred blouse is and will be in vogue. The one illustrated is made with a deep narrow yoke and with absolutely new sleeves. In the case of the model the material is corn yellow chiffon cloth, with a yoke of cream colored lace over chiffon and trimming of silk banding and little buttons, but every material that can be shirred successfully is appropriate, and the list of such is a long ```markdown ``` one. Crepe de chine, louisine silks, Oyama crepe and a host of other things might be mentioned, while the chemisette always can be lace or in lingerie style as preferred. The waist is made with a fitted jingling and consists of front and backs. The lining is faced to form the chemisette, and the waist itself is shirred on the shoulders and again on the centre front and at the waist line to 10 form the girdle, the closing being made invisibly at the back. The sleeves extend a little below the elbows in conformity with the latest decree of fashion and are shirred and finished with roll-over cuffs and frills of lace. The quantity of material required for the medium size is four yards twenty-one, three yards twenty-seven or one and three-quarter yards forty-four inches wide, with three-eighth yard of all-over lace and one and seven-eighth yards of binding. Crossover' Belts. Deep crossover belts of silk or moire are useful substitutes for the corselet of cloth which economical folk are severing from their early spring purchases in readiness for the first snap of autumn. These belts are made, of course, on the Lias, and at the point where the folds cross in front the belt is drawn down slightly and finished sometimes with ornamental buttons, sometimes with bows, or with a buckle. Buttonholed Scallops. Wide scallops buttonholed with contrasting silk outline the shaped neck opening and the short sleeve caps of a school girl's frock. This is not an altogether new idea, but a very simple and pleasing means of decoration. Vest and Girdle. Cinnamon brown serge, black velvet for vest and girdle, and gilt buttons in three sizes, are the materials from which a charming suit is developed. The nine-gored skirt is accompanied by a nobby little pony coat. The Sailor Serviceable. A trim round sailor with fluttering streamers is one of the jauntiest and most serviceable of hats that can be chosen for general wear for little folk. Bands For the Neck. A stitched band, decorated with French limbs or tiny embroidered figures, follows the edge of the neck opening of some of the blouses worn with a guippe. A circular band fits the round opening nicely. From Plain to Dainty. There are so many pretty embroidery bands for collar and cuffs that it is a very easy matter nowadays to transform a plain waist into a dainty garment by this simple means. Girl's Russian Blouse Sult. There is no dress that more perfectly suits the needs of the school girl than the one made with the Russian blouse. It is exceedingly stylist in effect, it is very generally becoming, at the same time it allows perfectly free movements and is simple as all girls' dresses should be. This one includes some novel features and is trimmed with banding at the edge of the front as well as on the sleeves. In this instance royal blue serge is trimmed with a pretty banding and collar and cuffs of white, but while blue is well liked it is not obligatory and other plain colors and checks will be greatly used throughout the coming season. The suit consists of the skirt, the body lining and the blouse. The body lining is smoothly fitted and the straight skirt is gathered and joined thereto. The blouse is entirely separate and consists of fronts and back. It is closed at the left side and is finished with, a hem on the lower edge, in which is inserted elastic that regulates the size. The sleeves are 1 moderately full and can be finished either with turn-over cuffs or the bands. The quantity of material required for a girl of ten years is five and 1 three-quarter yards twenty-seven three and five-eighth yards thirty-sir, three yards forty-four inches wide, with three-eighth yard for collar and cuffs and five yards of banding.

Father and Five Children Suffered For Two Years With Terrible Eczema—Wonderful Cure by Cuticurum. "My husband and five children were all afflicted with eczema. They had it two years. We used all the home remedies we could hear of, without any relief, and then went to a physician and got medicine two different times, and it got worse. It affected us all over except head and hands. We saw Cuticura Remedies advertised and concluded to try them. So I sent for $1.00 worth, consisting of one cake of Cuticura Soap, one box of Ointment and one vial of Pills, and we commended to use them. I do not know how to express my joy in finding a cure, for two of my children were so bad that they have the brown scars on their bodies where they were sore. Mrs. Maggie B.

A fox, pursued by a pack of hounds in Somersetshire, stopped long enough in his flight to select a fat duck from a farmyard he was passing and carried it off. Zulu Etiquette. One of the most curious or Zulu ideas is that expressed by the word "hlonipa." This, originally meaning "to be ashamed," or "to behave modestly," is synonymous with "propriety" or "etiquette," and covers a variety of curious customs. For instance, a woman must always "hlonipa" the names of her father, her husband, the head of the family, and the chief, i.e., avoid uttering them; and in the case of a great chief the prohibition extends also to the men of the tribe. If the name happens to have a meaning of its own some substitute must be found for it in ordinary conversation. It is as though English women whose family name was Smith were not allowed to talk about a blacksmith, but must call him a worker in iron. Thus the women of the family whose name is "mtimkulu," "The Great Tree," are obliged to find some other word for "a tree" or "medicine," both of which are "mti" in Zulu.— Training a Politician. When I was a very little boy, writes Sir William Gregory in his autobiography, my grandfather, who was then Under Secretary for Ireland, took me to the Chief Secretary's room in Dublin Castle and formally introduced me to Lord Melbourne. After I had been with him for some little time he said: "Now, my boy, is there anything here you would like?" "Yes," I answered, pointing to a very large stick of sealing wax: "That's right," said Lord Melbourne, pressing on me a bundle of pens; "begin life early. All these things belong to the public, and your business must always be to get out of the public as much as you can." COFFEE IMPORTERS Publish a Book About Coffee. There has been much discussion an to coffee and Postum lately, so much in fact, that some of the coffee importers and roasters have taken to type to promote the sale of their wares and check if possible the rapid growth of the use of Postum Food Coffee. Here is an admission of the truth, most important to all interested. Every physician knows, and every thoughtful person should know, that habitual use of any "medicina" of the drug-stimulant type of coffee or whisky quickly causes irritation of the tissues and organs stimulated and finally sets up disease in the great majority of cases if persisted in. It may show in any one of the many organs of the body and in the great majority of cases, can be directly traced to coffee in a most unmistakable way by leaving off the active irritant-coffee—and using Postum Food Coffee for a matter of 10 days. If the result is relief from nervous trouble, dyspepsia, bowel complaint, heart failure, weak eyes, or any other malady set up by a poisoned nervous system, you have your answer with the accuracy of a demonstration in mathematics.

HENDERSON THE FAMOUS DIVINE Brooklyn, N. Y.—Preaching at the Irving Square Presbyterian Church on the theme, "Profit and Loss," the Rev. I. W. Henderson, pastor, took as his text Mark S:36. "For what doth it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his life." He said; Jesus draws the picture with strength and in a startling manner. What doth it profit a man if, in the end, he shall have gained control over the sum total of the material things in the universe and have forfeited his soul life with God? "The question is between that life which consists mainly in having and that which consists in being." The question is whether or no our efforts shall tend to self-aggrandizement or to soul culture. Shall we devote our larger and finer energies to the attainment of possessions which are of use in this world alone or to the enlargement of our spiritual powers? The difference is between getting and growing. The man whose career is given over to getting things is measured as a success according to the material wealth he has acquired. But the man who is a "growing man" is marked by his richness in grace, goodness and godliness. There is in our time a most commendable spirit abroad in the hearts of our people leading them to seek the amelioration and upliftment of the conditions of life about us. There is an earnest desire among men of purpose everywhere to, make the most out of life. We have small patience with the shirk and are getting to have less with the business slave. We read of the possibilities of cheap power in its relation to economic affairs and millions of money transform Niagara into electricity and rapid transit. Our hearts are appalled at the ignorance of thousands of men here in America and we build schools. We are told that in order to a successful social system the worker must have fair hours and a good wage. The luxuries of yesterday are the necessities, and inexpensive, too: of to-day. Our millionaires have gold galore for charities and clubs, and men in all grades of society put more money into amusements than ever before. All this is well in its way and place. Our conditions should be bettered and the standard of life raised. No man should waste any of his talents, nor should he give undue attention to any one to the detriment of the rest. The latent wealth of the world should be made productive. No man should be sent out into the battle of life mentally unprepared. Each member of this State deserves and should be enabled to acquire sufficient physical endurance to fit him for the fight. The man who sells his labor must receive a fair wage and decent opportunity for enjoyment and for the culture of other than his "business nature." We cannot have too many charitable institutions to meet real need, nor can we do other than rejoice over the wealth that lies at our hands. All of these things are good, all are necessary, each when used properly will be found to be a means to the betterment of this world and life. But in our endeavor to utilize the possibilities of the present and material life there lies the danger to forget the immortal and spiritual existence of the soul. Education at the State's expense is a cure for many social ills and a salve for many an economic sore. Money may, and does bring happiness to the hearts of all who, rightously, may possess it. No man can deny the value of physical culture in the cure of many bodily ailments and in strengthening the constitution. Fair pay for a fair-day's work is only true. None of us begrudges the man of millions except we are aware he has robbed us. But brain muscle and morality are not necessarily synonymous. Some of the most dissolute men the world has ever harbored have been the misfictitious in intellect. The antics and excesses of not a few college men but prove that book knowledge and purity of life are not one. Money is not an unrighteous thing of itself, but, oh, what slaves it does make of men; how soon the greed for it will stifle all that is noble in its lovers. The size and development of your upper right arm is in no way an indication of the strength of soul you possess nor is it a substitute for it. Bulk of purse, brawn of muscle, depth of learning and a fine mentality are both commendable and desirable if so be they are rightously acquired, but the acquisition of all these things is as nothing if so be a man has forfeited his soul life for them. To-day we train our youth for business or profession—that is to say, for careers of economic usefulness. Our main aim in education is to fit men to achieve material success. We demand that our schools shall turn out men who are able to take care of themselves. We pay but scant attention to individuality and to the leanings and peculiarities of personality. Any one here can state, as well as I, how much moral training the schools give our youth. In our fear that the Bible in the school may savor of denominationalism we leave, often, a free field for the devil. From earliest youth till the child is a man dependent upon his own resources the continual cry is for him to achieve success. Fortune, indeed, is the man who, by wise direction and personal preference, is enabled to choose the way that leads to real and lasting success. But the pity is that too many of us spell success in the terms of material achievement. Too few are they who know that success is a matter not so much of getting as of being; that it is more a matter of soul culture than of material gain. Success is measured not by the amount you have, but by what you amount to. Far be it from me to bellittle a proper material success. The world owes a debt it never can repay to the men of money, the masterful mechanics, the learned lawyers, the erudite doctors, the brainy business men, the tireless teachers and toilers and leaders who have made possible and apparent the civilization we now enjoy. I am the last man to deny the value and advantage, aye, the necessity, of all manner of human development. But what shall it profit us, individually or socially, it, surpassing Greece for wisdom, the Romans for wealth, the arts of France, the metaphysical acumen of Germany, the landed possessions of Russia, the commercial power of our English cousins, we shall attain material success at the expense of our soul's life? "For what doth it profit a man to gain the whole sum total of material things and have forfeited his soul life within God?" The highest measure of success is the permanency of achieved results. The test of service is in the worthiness of the labors to which our efforts have been applied. If sound money is more important than sound morals then the teacher of political economy is of more value to the world than the teacher of ethics, that is to say, of the science of right living. If fleets are of more consequence than spiritually minded and Christ-moved men, then Morgan with his merchant marine is mightier than Moody with his Bible. If cash counterbalances character then let us relegate the Christ life to its proper, that is to say, the second, place in our scheme of living. If policy is better than principle and gain at any cost superior to righteousness, then let us hoist the Jolly Roger to the forepeak of the ship of State and declare ourselves the moral pirates that we are. But I am persuaded that we do not value the material more than manhood. I am sure that fundamentally we do believe that principle, purity and godliness are more of account than all else in life. We are all conscious of the beauty, the nobility, the transcendent importance of the culture of the soul. There is not a man, or but few, men anywhere but who will admit at once and without discussion that to trade the soul's life for material success is to strike a poor bargain. I have yet to meet the thinking man, whose opinions are worth a snap of my finger, who sustains any other proposition save that a godly life is the only sure foundation of society and the only guarantee of the permanency and efficiency of success. Believing these latter truths to be divine why, then, do we hesitate to connote logic with action? Why do we refrain to parallel our academic conclusions with definite effort. Why do we refuse consistency a hearing and continue to serve the god of material success? My friends, the whole question of service and success is a matter of getting or being, of self-aggrandizement or of self-realization and soul culture. Getting is as natural as breathing. But we breathe not for the sake of breathing, but in order to live. Getting, the acquirement of temporal wealth, may be a means to the culture of our souls. When so used riches are a blessing. That man is wiseest who makes all things in this life tend toward his soul's development. Let us teach our youth that growth in godliness is the prime function, the principal task of human endeavor. Let us tell our young men and our maidens that it is best to serve God and to grow constantly into the graces and beauties of Christlikeness. Let us send home to the young and impressionable hearts of our boys and our girls the changeless and eternal truth that it can never profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own life within God. Then shall we have inculcated the true philosophy of life and hastened the coming of the kingdom of the God of Christ our Lord. Worry and Fear Removed. It is not religion, but the lack of it that makes people unhappy. Yet how stransely and how widely the opposite view prevails. There are many who think of religion not only as a galling drudgery, but as the surest source of moroseness, melancholy and unhappiness of life. Their idea is that religion is a system of suffering to which many people are willing to submit here in order that they may not suffer hereafter—that religion's only happiness is in the future, its rewards after death. Instead, the real fact is that religion is a thing of present joy and ever continuing blesseness. It is the gladest, happiest thing in all this world. "Her ways are ways of pleasantness and all her noths are peace." It is religion that gives us the bright things in life and sin the dark things, and not vice versa. Religion goes down to the deepest springs of our mental and spiritual well-being. It brings untold measures of peace and joy. It takes the sting out of the past and it takes the worry out of the present. It takes the fear out of the future.—The Rev. G. B. F. Hallock. D. D. How to Learn Love. It is true that love cannot be forced, that it cannot be made to order, that we cannot love because we ought or even because we want. But we can bring ourselves into the presence of the lovable. We can enter into friendship through the door of discipleship. We can learn love through service.—Hugh Black. What Could Hinder? If man's device can produce pure white paper from filthy rags, what should hinder God to raise from the dead this vile body and fashion it like the glorious body of Christ?—Gotthold. A man's knowledge of doctrine counts for nothing if he neglects duty. " WHAT JOY THEY BRING TO EVERY HOME as with joyous hearts and smiling faces they romp and play—when In health—and how conducive to health the games in which they indulge, the outdoor life they enjoy, the cleanly, regular habits they should be taught to form and the wholesome diet of which they should partake. How tenderly their health should be preserved, not by constant medication, but by careful avoidance of every medicine of an injurious or objectionable nature, and if at any time a remedial agent is required, to assist nature, only those of known excellence should be used; remedies which are pure and wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, like the pleasant laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. Syrup of Figs has come into general favor in many millions of well informed families, whose estimate of its quality and excellence is based upon personal knowledge and use. Syrup of Figs has also met with the approval of physicians generally, because they know it is wholesome, simple and gentle in its action. We inform all reputable physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs, obtained, by an original method, from certain plants known to them to act most beneficially and presented in an agreeable syrup in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to promote the pleasant taste; therefore it is not a secret remedy and hence we are free to refer to all well informed physicians, who do not approve of patent medicines and never favor indiscriminate self-medication. Please to remember and teach your children also that the genuine Syrup of Fjgs always has the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—plainly printed on the front of every package and that it is for sale in bottles of one size only. If any dealer offers any other than the regular Fifty cent size, or having printed thereon the name of any other company, do not accept it. If you fail to get the genuine you will not get its beneficial effects. Every family should always have a bottle on hand, as it is equally beneficial for the parents and the children, whenever a laxative remedy is required.

For Information ad press Medical Director, Dept. A Fureka Remedy, 131 West 59th St., New York City In Night Collision of Ships on Puget Sound. Disaster Came With Such Suddenness That Passengers Were Caught Off Their Guard — Most of the Victims Were Women. A special from Seattle, Wash., says: Puget sound, so prolific of marine disasters, had another Sunday night in a collision between the Alaska steamer Jeanne and the Seattle-Port Blakely steamer Dix, in which forty-two people were drowned. Those lost were all passengers of the Dix and many residents of the mill town of Port Blakely. Thirty-seven were saved. The unfortunates were sent to their awful death with scarcely a moment's warning. Saddest of all, they gave their lives through the criminal recklessness of one Charles Dennison, mate of the Dix. This strong statement is practically that of Captain P. Lermond and Captain Mason, masters, respectively, of the Dix and Jeanie. Both charge Dennison with having been responsible for the enrollment of so appalling a death list. The Dix is a total wreck. The Jeanie was not injured in the least, and no member of her crew was lost. The master of the Dix was saved. The collision occurred while the sound was almost as smooth as a mill bond, and after the boats had been steaming within sight of each other for a quarter of an hour. The Jeanie was backing, in an attempt to avoid the Dix when the collision occurred. The impact was very slight. The Dix was struck abaft of amidships on the starboard side. She listed heavily to port for a brief period, righted herself, then sank stern first. There was hardly time to launch life rafts or boats before she was almost entirely submerged. Passengers jumped from the decks into the water; women screamed and officers and men called orders that could hardly be heard above the dfn. The passengers from the Dix who could swim made their way to the sides of the Jeannie and were dragged aboard. The Jeannie was not moved until after all who had reached her had been hauled aboard. Then she cruised about pickling up several who had managed to stay above water. The collision occurred at 7 o'clock, and it was after 10 o'clock before the Jeannie left the scene of the catastrophe and steamed to the Virginia street dock, Seattle, with her thirty-seven survivors. The Jeanie of the Alaska Coast company had finished unloading at the Great Northern docks at Smith's Cove and had started for Tacoma shortly before 7 o'clock just about the same time the Dix left the Flyer clock for Port Blakeley. There were no passengers on the Jeanie. The Dix was making the last trip of the night and was well filled with passengers. When within about tow miles north of Alki Point, the two steamers were within short distance of each other, steaming along on converging lines. The captain of the Jeanie says he signalled to the Dix to pass him and his whistle was answered. The Dix was then within speaking distance of the Jeanie and to the port of her Suddenly Mate Dennison, who was at the wheel of the Dix put her hard over starboard as if to cross in front of the other vessel. Captain Jason of the Jeanie, who was on the shore, saw that an accident was imminent and called out a warning to at the wheel of the Dix. at the wheel of the Dix Mason gave the signal to his engines, and his vessel backing away when the together.

Written by Mrs. Jefferson Davis, Is Made Public and Creates a Stir Among Daughters of Confederacy. A private letter, written six years ago, by Mrs. Jefferson Davis, explaining why her husband, the president of the Southern Confederacy, was buried in Virginia instead of Mississippi, has just been made public. The letter, which was read in executive session at the recent convention of the Daughters of the Confederacy in Richmond, is caustic in some parts, and induges in some tart criticisms of Mississippi's public men of the period at which it was written, six years ago. It says she preferred Beauvoir as the resting place of her husband, but that the grave there would not be inviolate, and she could not afford $6,000 a year, the expense necessary to guard it. She says that, while Louisiana and Virginia were anxious to have the remains, Mississippi was silent until after the body had been interred in Richmond, and then only a letter was written. The body was kept in New Orleans a year pending the decision over a final resting place. A leading Mississippi Daughter will publish a reply to Mrs. Davis. Not for many a day will the ladies who attended the meetings of the United Daughters of the Confederacy at Gulfport, Miss., the past week, forget the reading there of the "post-mortem letter of Mrs. Jefferson Davis." In this communication Mrs. Davis sought to vindicate herself for the criticism of not having buried the remains of Jefferson Davis in Mississippi, and, among other things, she also attempted an explanation of the motives which prompted her to live in the north. Mrs. Davis was particularly severe in her comments on the attitude of the Mississippi people toward herself and her husband, and, although she was sparing in her pleasant references to other southern states, she praised Virginia in fervid rhetoric, and was particularly tender in her references to Richmond. She had much to say, too, by way of explaining her continued residence in the north. The communication undoubtedly took everybody unawares. It was offered by Mrs. A. M. C. Klimbrough, of Richmond. Mrs. Cornelia Branch Stone of Texas moved that the letter be read, and her motion was seconded by Mrs. Parker of New York, and thus it came about the letter got be for the Gulfport meeting. Mrs. Klimbrough, who offered the "post-mortem" letter, and her husband were intimate friends of Mrs. Davis. FOR MURDER OF POLICEMAN Chattanooga Negro is Doomed to Gall Jouys by Verdict of Jury Will Hurd, the negro who killed Policeman T. O. Musgrove, in front of a South Chattanooga saloon on November 1, was found guilty of murder in the first degree at Chattanooga, Tuesday. Judge McReynolds of the criminal court will sentence him to hang. Much excitement was caused by the killing of Musgrove, and the negro was taken to Knoxville for safekeeping. The trial passed off without incident, and the jury, which was composed of leading Chattanoogans, returned a verdict within a short time.

Resistance to the taking of church inventories was general throughout the department of Herault, France, Tuesday. Violent resistance occurred at Pignan, where the church was filled with sulphur, which was shoveled into the building from the vestry and the roof and again and again forced out the soldiers while a crowd of men and women shouted maledictions at the troops. SEEK TO BAR TILLMAN. Chicago Negroes Appeal to Mayor to Prevent Lecture.

Man Who Killed Widow at Roswell, Ga., Convicted. John Alexander Grimes was found guilty of the murder of Mrs. Evelyn McGinnis at Roswell, Ga., and sentenced to life imprisonment.

Be sure to select your best materials. Only put those brethren forward who have the best interests of the order at heart, and who have standing in the community. Grand Master Butler is putting forth every effort to report an increased number of new lodges at the next Grand Communication. From outlooks at present this may be a fact. Brother Bridges, the efficient secretary of St. Marks Lodge of Dawson wrote and informed us of the excellent work that this lodge is now doing. St. Mark's membership is only second to that of the mother lodge, Eureka, No. 1, of this city, which is at the century mark. The Grand Chapter, R. A. M., met in Macon last week. The attendance was good. We will give the officers next week. A good master is not necessarily one who can recite the ritual in a parrot-like way. Neither is he one who can "hustle" for new members, or who shows a full treasury at the end of his term. There are other qualifications that go to make a really good master. Masonry is the universal law of brotherhood—the law of equality recognized by the Father of all. If today it had full sway over the hearts of the people of the world, wars and rumors of war would cease and the notes of peace be heard in every land; sirifies would soon tie and the promoters thereof embrace in love, and the various nations of earth would assume their appropriate sphere as members of the same family and the whole earth would be as Eden was. Doest thou recognize this law, Bro? "Freemasonry is no machinery for the encouragement of disloyalty, either to God or man. It is no substitute for the religion of the home or the church. It is no system of philosophy or of ethics which is intended to supersede or to supplement the revelation which has been vouchsafed to the world. It is a system of morality veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols. It inculcates the highest and deepest moral lessons. Its universality denotes its holds on the needs of mankind. It seeks no notoriety. It canvasses for no membership. It goes quietly on its beneficent way. It neither exploits nor conceals its noble and helpful ambitions. Its aid is given without ostentation and without hypocrisy. The needs of the widow and fatherless, of the wanderer and the outcast, are met, if found worthy, with a generosity and a brotherly open-heartedness which neither craves nor allows recognition."—Francis Partridge. --- The practical use of an Eastern Star Chapter as an adjunct to a lodge is being demonstrated in Brunswick this week. The Chapter there centers the lead of Mrs. Alice Monroe, the indefattible Royal Matron, is conducting a bazaar to raise funds for the repairing of the Masons' hall. We are sure that the brethren will appreciate the efforts of these "fairest among thousands" and their example will be copied by the ladies elsewhere. In the good book that points to the "Star in the East," we find these words: "The greatest of these is charity," and still others: "A new commandment give I unto thee that ye love one another." With this virtue in our hearts, and this command in our minds, we naturally turn our thoughts to our less fortunate ones.—G. M. The Eastern Star Chapters will elect officers next month. Past Patron, A. R. Stallings, was empowered by the Grand Patron to set up an Eastern Star Chapter at Lake Park yesterday. PRESIDENT BROKE THE LAW. Discharge of Troops Violates Provision of Constitution. (From the New York Times.) The action of the president in directing the dishonorable discharge of all the enlisted men of three companies of infantry is entirely unprecedented. The announcement of it will grate harshly upon the ears of those who are accustomed to believe that they are living under a government of laws. It seems incredible that the secretary of war, who is an accomplished lawyer, can have advised the "direction" which is addressed to him, or been consulted about it before hand. The report of General Garlington is by no means that all the men thus discharged had been guilty either of the lawless conduct he had been investigating or of any offense known either to civil or military law. They had simply shown an unwillingness, as he viewed it, to tell all they knew about the affray in question. If they had told all they knew, General Garlington would, he thinks, have been able to identify the persons actually and criminally responsible, comparatively few as he admits them to have been Evidently, on this state of facts, it would be absolutely out of the question to frame an indictment that would hold in any civil court. Apparently it would be as impossible to frame charges that would hold before a military court. The discipline of the United States army is not a matter of arbitrariness and caprice. It is embraced in certain well-defined and understood and published documents—the Articles of War and the Regulationa of the United States army. Court-martial have a wider latitude than civil courts, and rightly. "Conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman" is conduct which it is well that no attempt should be made to define beforehand with scientific exactness. Much must be left to the discretion of the court-martial, checked by the discretion of the reviewing authority. But that a court-martial should have power to discharge a whole battalion of soldiers because they had secreted what they knew would be a stretch of authority beyond the proper competency of such a tribunal. Much more beyond the authority of the president, on the simple recommendation of his inspector general, to extreme penalty of dishonorable discharge and incapacity to be employed in the military or civil service of the government without any trial or pretense of trial whatsoever. It is in flat contravention of that provision of the Constitution which declares that no person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property "without due process of law." (From The Bulletin of Atlanta University) A bloody riot and massacre of Negroes in Atlanta, followed within a fortnight by a record-breaking attendance of students at Atlanta University would seem to be impossible, yet it is just what has happened. Precious to the outbreak, an unusually large attendance was expected, but when the mob had redirected the streets of Atlanta with the blood of innocent Negroes, it seemed doubtful if even half our usual enrollment would materialize. What was our amazement, and our joy, too, when the opening days of the term found the students pouring in upon us in greater numbers than ever. Our boys' dormitory is nearly full, and our girls' dormitory is already crowded! We are perplexed how to care properly for the girls now here, and are declining to receive further applicants. 5LAYERS THANKED BY JURY. Remarkable Verdict Over Killing of Asheville Negro Desperado. At the inquest held over the body of Will Harris, alias Rufe Lindsay, the desperado, who was shot to death by a posse of officers and citizens, the coroner's jury at Asheville, N. C., returned the following remarkable verdict: "The said Will Harris, alias Rufe Lindsay, came to his death at the hands of public-spirited citizens who at the time were in the fearless and unselfish discharge of a public duty, that the law might be vindicated and justice administered; that said Will Harris, alias Rufe Lindsay, at the time of his death was resisting arrest and attempting to shoot and kill the citizens, above referred to, consisting of the posse who were attempting under due authority of the law to affect the capture of the said Will Harris, alias Rufe Lindsay. "That the citizens above referred to, constituting the posse aforesaid, as well as others who participated in the search and spontaneous efforts to bring to justice this incarnate flend and savage desperado, are entitled to the commendation and thanks of the whole community." SENATOR PLATT TO RETIRE. Domestic Troubles Drive Old Man from United States Senate That the public career of Thomas C. Platt, republican boss and United States senator, is fast nearing its close, as the result of his domestic troubles, is the opinion of nearly every one in New York. The Evening Post of Friday published the following: "Thomas C. Platt's resignation from the United States senate is said to be ready for filling with Governor Higgins. "Recent disclosures concerning the senator's domestic troubles, added to his increasing age, are declared to have forced him to the decision to relinquish his office." CRAPSEY GUILTY OF HERESY. Preacher is Suspended for Denying Virgin Birth of Christ. The Rev. Dr. Algeronn Crapsey, of St. Andrew's Protestant Episcopal church, Rochester, N. Y., is condemned to suspension from the church as a result of the decision of the ecclesiastical court, which was made public Monday. The court of review sustains the decision of the lower court which was that Dr. Crapsey should be suspended for heretical teachings. Dr. Crapsey, in his sermons and writings questioned the virgin birth of Jesus. He also contended that there were fallacies in other beliefs and doctrines forming the foundation of the Protestant-Episcopal church. ATLANTIC COAST LINE RAILROAD CO.

Mother is Faced by Daughters Who Acc cuse Her of Heinous Crimes. The spectacle of two women denouncing as a murderer the woman who brought them into the world, but whom they refused to call "mother," was witnessed in the office of the district attorney at New York Wednesday. The women are Mrs. Shoch, recently a resident of Massachusetts, and Mrs. Irrig of New York city. The mother whom they accused is Mrs. Wilhelmina Eckhart, who was arrested by representatives of the County Medical Society on a charge of having performed a criminal operation. Both Mrs. Schoch and Mrs. Ihrig declared that they had seen Mrs. Eckhart kill, hour-old infants and dispose of the bodies by burning them in her kitchen stove. Mrs. Ihrig declared also that her mother had quarreled with her because she refused to assist in burning the bodies of babies. FRANCE BARS OUR MEATS.
