VOL. XXII. A RELIGIOUS WAR Looms in France Between Catholics and Government. SITUATION IS RIDICULOUS Alleged That Pope Has Decided to Attempt Overthrow of the Republic—Government Maintains Firm Attitude. A Paris special says: The press unanimously recognizes the extreme gravity of the religious issue in France, precipitated by the pope's intensigent attitude, and many papers predict a veritable religious warfare. The government's calculations have clearly been upset and new legislative authority may be necessary to enable it to cope with the situation. It having been decided that after Tuesday religious service may not be held without a preliminary declaration under the law of 1881, the pope's order entails the immediate mitigation of prosecutions in 35,000 communes and logically the invasion of churches by the police for the purpose of pronouncing their dissolution and expelling the parish priests. The militant Catholics seemingly hall with enthusiasm the prospect of warfare and the attendant excitement of religious passions. M. Jaures, the socialist leader, professes to believe that the vatican has deliberately decided to test the strength of the party of reaction in an attempt to overthrow the republic. The socialist organs generally, however, regard the pope's instructions as being the result of the government's weakness in offering any concession beyond the formation of the cultural associations, contemplated under the law of 1905, and declare that the government now has no alternative except to insist on declarations being made to show the ecclesiastics the door. The conservative papers advise the government to remain true to its liberal principles, contending that the more the church is intolerant and panic-stricken, the more authority it will need, provided the government does not lose its head. The government has made preparations to cope with the situation, but is keeping them secret. The cabinet maintains a resolute front. Instructions to the_prosecutors were telegraphed broadcast, Monday. Premier Clemenceau is quoted as saying: "If the church elects to have war, it will have it, but the world will bear witness that the vatican is like a foreign power trying to dispute the authority of the French government." M. Briand, minister of public worship, says he thinks the pope yielded to the importunities of the ultramontaines, who are over-possessed with "the mad idea that out of disorder and civil war they will emerge triumphant. The government-new does not face a revolt of the consciences" of French Catholics, but a purely political enterprise." The situation is likely to be further complicated when explanations of the government's intention will be demanded. REPORT ON COTTON GINNED. Census Bureau Gives Output to December 1st at 10,025,445 Bales. The census bureau at Washington; Monday, issued a bulletin showing the total amount of cotton, of the crop of 1006, ginned to December 1, to have been 10,025,445 bales, counting round bales as half bales. The total number of ginneries in operation is given as 28,211. The statistics of this report include 41,156 sea island bales for 1906 and 61,695 for 1905. The sea island cotton for 1906 is distributed by states as follows: Florida, 19,159; Georgia, 17,190; South Carolina, 5,167. TAMPA CIGAR. MAKERS STRIKE. Demand Better Street Car Service and Free Use of Ferries. More than 5,000 cigar makers went on strike at Tampa, Fla., Monday morning because of poor street car service, while the bridge across the river is being rebuilt. All employees in factories on the west side of the river walked out, proceeded to the city hall and made a demonstration. A committee visited the mayor and officials of the Tampa Electric company, declaring that they would not return to work until given free ferriage across the river and better street car service. The Savannah Tribune. TO AID IN BUYING COTTON Secretary of the Treasury Shaw Turns Loose Twenty Millions of Cash in South—Depositaries Selected. Secretary of the Treasury Shaw had an interview with the bankers' committee, in session at Washington, Monday, and later in the day made the following announcement: "I have received in the last ten days an unusually large number of letters from business men representing all sections of the country complaining of the extraordinary high rates of interest. I have conferred during the same period, by letter or personally, with a large number of bankers scattered through the south and middle west, as well as in the east. I have conferred with the committee of the American Bankers' Association, now in session in the city. These gentlemen represent Chicago, St. Louis, New Orleans, Atlanta, Pittsburg, Indianapolis, Des Moines and other cities. "From the best information I can get I think the following describes the situation fairly well: "Our blessings are the real cause of the actual stringency in money recognized everywhere. An unusually large crop and unexamplied industrial activity have created an unprecedented demand for money. "The world is everywhere prosperous and money is in great demand throughout Europe as well as in the United States. We never had such a volume of credits—and they are based on an unequaled volume of assets. The manufacturers of cotton are buying that staple by the train load. The cotton planters, unlike the western farmer demand actual cash, and he carries it home in his pocket. The western farmer is paid in checks, which he deposits in the bank to his credit and therefore does not absorb actual money, as does the cotton planter. This money should be returned to the banks when the planter settles with his merchant soon after the 1st of January, but between now and then the cotton consuming country, as well as the cotton producing country, is short of money. "New England has sent millions to the south and the manufacturers of cotton throughout the south have exhausted the capacity of local banks and are trying to borrow elsewhere. There is no occasion for alarm, but I believe there is occasion for relief. This I have decided to grant in the following manner: "I will deposit $10,000,000 in existing depositaries in the cities designated below, to be secured by bonds acceptable for savings bank investments under the laws of New York and Massachusetts, taken at 30 percent of their value; these deposits to be returned, one-half on the 20th of January and the remainer on the 1st of February." "I will also buy $10,000,000 of the bonds of 1907 at the following prices: "Registered bonds ex-interest at 101 and coupon bonds at 102. "In the event that the bonds purchased are now held as securities for government deposits, security of the character above indicated will be accepted in lieu thereof. Not more than $1,000,000 worth, however, will be purchased from any single institution under these conditions. "The deposits will be made as follows: "New York and New Orleans, $1,500,000 each. "Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Chicago and St. Louis, $1,000,000 each. "Cincinnati, Louisville, Atlanta and Memphis, $500,600 each." RAILROAD MEN ARRESTED. Three Charged With Murder in Connection With Danville Wreck. Southern Railroad Operators Clemer and Skinnell and Flagman O. J. Mull, who figured in the fatal wreck at Danville, Va., Saturday when two met death and three were injured, were arrested Monday. The warrants against the men charge them with murder, and were issued at the institution of Commonwealth Attorney Thomas Hamlin. APPLY FOR RE-ENLISTMENT. Six Discharged Negro Soldiers Call Upon Secretary Taft. The immediate result of the memorandum of Secretary Taft to the military secretary, signed Tuesday, outlining the procedure to be followed by enlisted men of the twenty-fifth infantry, colored, who were discharged without honor, was the visit Wednesday to the war department of six of the discharged men who applied for re-enlistment, declaring that they were innocent of all completeness in and knowledge of the affair at Brownsville. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. DECEMBER 15. 1906. A PROD FOR STORER President Biffs Discharged Consul With Big Stick. MRS. STORER INVOLVED Roosevelt Strenuously Denies Allegation That He Asked Pope to Give Cardinal "Top Piece" to Archbishop Ireland. The Chicago Tribune in its Washington dispatches Saturday stated that an extraordinary letter has been addressed by Bellamy Storcr to President Roosevelt and the members of his cabinet in regard to his dismissal from the post of ambassador of the United States to Austra-Hungary. Mr. Storer was dismissed because of his wife's supposed interference in affairs of the Roman Catholic church and her alleged insult of letters from the president. It was also charged that Mrs. Storer had meddled with French politics by taking part in anti-republican intrigue to promote the marriage of Victor Bonaparte with a member of the Orleanist family. Both of these charges Mr. Storer denies and, on the other hand, declares that the president's interest in the selection of Arohishop Ireland as a cardinal was not due to Storer or to Storer's wife, but, to the president alone. The text of Mr. Storer's letter was printed and transmitted not only to the president and his cabinet, but to members of the foreign relations committee of the senate. Mr. Storer says that his removal in so summary a manner, suddenly dismissing him from an office which he had been given reason to believe he had filled to the satisfaction of both his own government and that to which he was accredited and being accompanied by no public explanation, exposed him to suspicions and injurious conjectures such as must naturally arise when a man in public office is abruptly dismissed by his government. The correspondence shows the familiar relations of the president and the Storers from the time Mr. Roosevelt was governor of New York until just after the Spanish war. Some of the Roosevelt letters to Storer were addressed "My dear Bellamy," and to his wife, "My dear Maria," and Mrs. Storer addressed the president as "Dear Theodore." A Washington special says: President Roosevelt. Sunday night made public a long letter addressed to Secretary Root, giving correspondence between the president and former Ambassador Bellamy Storer, at Vienna, Austria, and Mrs. Storer, in which he says that Mr. Storer's refusal to answer his letters and the publication of various private letters justified the ambassador's removal; that Mr. Storer's publication of private correspondence was peculiarly ungentlemanly, and that he (the president) had stated with absolute clearness his position, the reason why it was out of the question for him as president to try to get any archbishop made cardinal. He says he thinks it well that the cabinet members should know certain facts "which he (Storer) either suppressed or misstates." He says he did not resent the action of the Storers "until it became evident they were likely to damage American interests." He says Mrs. Storer urged him to give her husband a cabinet place and that she stated that Mr. Choate, at London, and General Porter, at Paris, were not proper persons to be ambassadors, suggesting her husband in that connection. The president incorporates a letter from Postmaster General Cortelyou contradicting the statement that President McKinley had commissioned a gentleman to ask the pope, "as a personal favor to him," and as "an honor to the country," to appoint Archbishop Ireland as cardinal. Mr. Cortelyou says the late president never made any such request. The president declares that Mr. Storer's statement that he authorized any such message to be delivered to the pope is untrue. He says that he never received a letter from Ambassador Storer giving an account of his visit to the vatican, and of the message he personally gave the pope on behalf of Mr. Roosevelt.

Sixteen teams of thirty-two riders got away. BULLET FOR EX-SENATOR Discarded Woman Shoots Lawyer in a Washington Hotel—Both Hall Former United States Senator Arthur Brown, of Salt Lake City, lies in a critical condition in Emergency hospital at Washington from a pistol shot wound in the abdomen inflicted by Mrs. Anna M. Bradley, of Salt Lake, who arrived at the capitol Saturday from that city. The shooting occurred in Senator Brown's apartments in the Raleigh hotel, where Mrs. Bradley also had registered under the name of "A. B. Brown." She was arrested. Senator Brown was conveyed to the hospital, where he was immediately put upon the operating table. Two shots were fired, one grazing his left hand and the other entering the abdomen and lodging in the pelvic cavity. Mrs. Bradley arrived shortly after noon. After being assigned a room, the immediately went to Senator Brown's apartment. There were no witnesses to the shooting, but a floor maid heard the shots and at once notified the management. In a statement at the police barracks Mrs. Bradley said she cane to Washington to demand that Senator Brown marry her. She said their relations were well known in Sait Lake. "I asked him if he was going to do the right thing by me," she said, maintaining a remarkable composure. "His reply was to put on his coat and start to leave the room, and I shot him. I abhor acts of this character, but in this case it was fully justified." She said she urged Senator Brown to marry her, that he had been instrumental in the divorce between her husband and herself, and that as his wife was dead, he now could "do the right thing" by her. This, she said, he positively refused to do. Mrs. Bradley is about 38 years old. Her first act after being taken to the police station was to send for Senator Sutherland, of Utah, who called and had a long talk with her. Senator Sutherland regretted being brought into the case, but said that Mrs. Bralley had sent for him because he was the only man in Washington she knew. To him she unbosomed herself and told the story of her relations with Senator Brown. She alleged that two of her children owe their parentage to Senator Brown, and she had named one of them after him. Mrs. Bradley was reluctant to speak of her former husband, but questioning brought out the fact that he was living in Nevada with a second wife. Further questioning disclosed the fact that Mrs. Bradley for two years, 1900 and 1902, had served in the capacity of secretary to the state republican committee, and was also at one time editor of the official organ of the State Federation of Women's Clubs. According to a dispatch from Salt Lake City Brown left there for Washington several days ago to argue a case before the United States supreme court. Mrs. Bradley left the city two days after Brown's departure. Her friends announced that she had gone to San Francisco. About three years ago a charge involving immoral conduct was filed against Senator Brown and the Bradley woman by Senator Brown's wife. Before the case came to trial Mrs. Brown withdrew her charge and Brown was released. Mrs. Bradley pleaded guilty. Before sentence was imposed, however, she was permitted to withdraw her plea and the charge against her was dismissed. The wife of Senator Brown died about two years ago LONE ROBBER RAIDS BANK But Failed to Make Good and Was Forced to Surrender. After a daring attempt to rob the J. V. Brinkman Company bank at Great Bend, Kas., a man who gave his name as George A. Lewis, of Kansas City, was surrounded and captured. Bud Westfall, a driver for the Wells-Fargo Express Company, was killed by a shot fired by one of the pursuers. High Court Refuses Application of Mrs. Myers of Kansas City. The supreme court of the United States, through Justice Brewer, has denied the application of Mrs. Aggie Myers, of Kansas City, Mo., for a writ of error, which, if it had been allowed, would have had the effect of bringing her case to that court. Mrs. Myers is under sentence of death in Missouri on the charge of murdering her husband in Kansas City a year or more ago. The effect of the decision will be to leave the matter in the hands of the state authorities. 12,546,000 BALES Is Government Report of This Season's Cotton Crop. MARKET BADLY SMASHED Price for March and January Broke to Lowest Point That Has Been Reached Since, Last August. Great Surprise Created. The crop reporting board of the bureau of statistics of the department of agriculture at Washington, from reports of the correspondents and agents of the bureau in conjunction with the recent report by the bureau in conjunction with the recent report by the bureau of the census of the quantity of cotton ginned, estimates that the total production of cotton in the United States for the year 1906-07 will amount to 6,601,726,000 pounds (not including linters), equivalent to 12,546,000 bales of 500 pounds gross weight. The estimated production of 500 pound bales by states is as follows: Virginia .....13,000 North Carolina .....337,000 South Carolina .....875,000 Georgia .....1,578,000 Florida .....54,010 Alabama .....1,252,000 Mississippi .....1,454,000 Louisiana .....930,000 Texas .....3,944,000 Arkansas .....791,000 Tennessee .....260,000 Missouri .....43,000 Oklahoma .....0,000 Indian Territory .....405,000 A New York dispatch says: The government estimate of the cotton crop of 1906 placing the yield at 12,564,000 bales of 500 pounds, gross weight proved much more bearish than the trade had expected and caused a sensational drop in prices, accompanied by active and exciting trading in the cotton market. The market had opened easy Tuesday morning before the report was issued under scattering liquidation, and on rumors that the figures would prove bearish. Before the report was published January sold off to 9.85 and March 10.05, after which January broke to 9.40 and March to 9.53, or 70 to 73 points net lower, of the lowest price reached since last August. There was a recovery of about 13 points in the late session, but the market closed steady at a decline of 63 to 64 points. In one of the saddest courtroom scenes on record in the state of Mississippi, Mrs. Angie Birdson was found guilty at Hazlehust Tuesday of manslaughter for killing Dr. Thos. Butler and was recommended to the mercy of the court by a jury which tried the case. Atter the verdict, while the young defendant sat, crying with a young child in her arms, a deputy approached to take her to jail. When he lifted the child from its mother, the "little one sobbed in fear, "Mamma, don't let him have me." Among those whose eyes filled with tears at the scene of the verdict was the district attorney whose conduct of the case secured a conviction where the great majority of those interested looked for either an acquittal or a mistrial. The minimum penalty for manslaughter in Mississippi is a fine of $500. An appeal will be taken. Mrs. Birdsong, 22 years of age and a member of a leading Mississippi family, in November, 1905, shot and killed Dr. Thos. Butler, also prominently related. She alleged that he had boasted of illicit relations with her and that his boasts were untrue. The tragedy occurred in Monticello, Miss. MILITARY AND POLICE CLASH. National Guard Sought to Enter Theatre and Cops Interfered. Because Atlanta city policemen refused to allow members of company B, fifth regiment, national guard of Georgia, to invade the Bifou theatre to arrest a soldier who had not gone to drill, charges have been preferred against two policemen and a lively clash Is said to be on between the civil and military authorities. The clash took place on the evening of November 26, and was kept quiet until last Tuesday morning, when the charges were made public. $ _{0} $ NO.11. ANCIENT BONDS SEVERED France and Vatican Breaks Ties After Thousand Years of Union—Papal Representative Deported. Manager Montagnini, secretary of the papal nunciature in Paris, since the recall of the nuncio, was arrested Tuesday afternoon upon an order expelling him from France, and was accompanied by a commissary of police and conducted to the frontier. His residence was searched by the police. Immense quantities of documents were seized and taken to police headquarters. A courier from the papal secretary of state, bearing dispatches from Rome, was turned back at the frontier. The above paragraphs, in brief, indicate that Tuesday was one of the most momentous days in the history of France. The struggle, which began in 1680 with the banishment of the Jesuits ended on that day, with the legal rupture of the bonds, which, for practically a thousand uninterrupted years, had united church and state. By refusing to make the required requisitions under the law of 1881, Roman Catholic public worship by schismatic organizations becomes illegal. Premier Clemenceau, replying to a question in the chamber of deputies Tuesday night, as to the reason for the expulsion of Montagnini, said it was because of his complicity with prominent clergymen of Paris, against whom proceedings were pending, in inclining churchgoers to rebelion. Interference by foreigners on orders from Rome in the politics of France, he declared, was not permissible. The premier, amid thunders of applause, tersely summed up the situation, declaring that the government's conspiracy propositions towards the church had been exhausted and that it had been decided in future to leave the caus on Rome. A dispatch from Rome says: The expulsion from France of Montagniu, secretary of the papal nunculature, at Paris, has caused not only astonishment, but consternation at the vatican. According to vatican officials, this step is an evident proof that the French government wishes not only to strike at the church as a religious institution, but to represent it as an enemy of the republic and allied with the republic's foes. The fact that diplomatic relations between France and the vatican were ruptured two years ago adds to the difficulty of the vatican, M. Nicard, the last ambassador of France, having left Rome in 1904. Montaginiini stayed on in Paris after the departure of the papal nuncio in order to deal with certain matters pending between France and the church. A curious phase of the situation is that Montaginiini, being an Italian subject, made protest against his expulsion. FIGHT MADE ON MOODY. Southern Senators Object to His Confirmation as Supreme Court Judge The confirmation of W. H. Moody's appointment as a supreme court judge is being opposed by a number of southern senators on the grounds that Moody's views on questions affecting the southern states are prejudiced and far from judicial. Objection to him developed in the executive session of the senate held Tuesday afternoon. Senators Clay of Georgia and Carmack of Tennessee and Overman of North Carolina held up the confirmation While a member of the congress from Massachusetts in 1901, Mr. Moody introduced a bill looking to the reduction of southern representation in congress and also urged the appointment of a commission to investigate the alleged suffrage discrimination against negroes. He also introduced a bill in congress dealing with lynching, which was most rabid in tone, and explained it in interviews which were even more inflammatory than the measures themselves. These two measures did more to stir up sectional animosity than any which has come before the congress in years. His bill notably specified lynching those of African descent, and such lynchings were called murder. Lynching of those other than negroes was not dwelt upon. He urged that cases against those charged with participation in lynchings should be taken cut of state courts and tried in the federal courts. He even went to the length of advocating a fine of five thousand dollars against any county in which a lynching occurred, and a similar one against the state in which it occurred. Since the democratic minority is powerless to prevent his confirmation, Moody certainly will not get the votes of many southern senators. The Guaranty Aid and Relief Society SOL. C.

Agents Wanted Everywhere "Ground oyster shells," said the physician, as he squeezed a lemon over his blue points, "were used as a medicine by the mediaeval doctors—a medicine for the rickets and scrofula." "How absurd!" "Absurd? Not at all. Oyster shells contain lime, nitrogen, iron, sulphur magnesia, bromide, phosphoric acid and iodine. Those are all excellent tonics. "You know how hens eat ground oyster shells and thus produce eggs with good thick, strong shells? Well, as the oyster-shell powder acts on egg-shells so I have no doubt it acted in the middle ages on the bending, crumbling bones of the rickety, putting strength and firmness into them. "Ground oyster shells, I am convinced, would be good things for fowl children today. They would strengthen on the frame, increase the amput and have a splendid effect on the teeth."—Philadelphia Bulletin. "Carrie" is short for "Caroline" and "Charlotte" and the twain are feminine for "Charles," which means "strong." Our Carries are particularly strong nowadays in things public and political. The Illinois Republican convention nominated Mrs. Carrie Alexander, as trustee of the State University Tuesday. On the same day the Illinois Democratic convention nominate Miss Caroline Grote as Superintendent of Public Instruction, the delegates shouting "Speech, Caroline!" and the band playing "Good Morning Carrie." We venture to complete the quartet by citing Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, the eloquent woman suffragist, and Carrie Nation, exponent of the Propaganda of Deed in the Prohibition movement.

"Six months to-day, George, and we have never had the tiniest bit of a quarrel yet." "No, dearie, not even the tiniest bit of a quarrel," George echoed. "Do you remember the compact we made at first? When some one was chaffing about family jars, we decided never to have one at all? Hasn't it worked splendidly!" "Splendidly!" and Nell gave her husband's arm an affectionate little squeeze by way of leave-taking; and then she stood at the gate till a bend in the road hid him from view. She sang a merry snatch of song as she came up the garden path again. The morning sunshine fell lovingly on the tiny house and the small patch of ground which they glorified by the name garden, and Nell was tempted to linger among the pansies, till the thought of the pile of unwashed breakfast dishes sent her indoors with a sigh. Whilst tldying up she bethought herself that the special occasion warranted something special by the way of a dinner, and she went off in search of her favorite cookery-book. It was missing from its accustomed place, and she was just beginning to feel a little irritated by the fruitless search when she recollected that George had been rearranging the shelves of the bookcase, and it was just possible that he had put the volume away unthinkingly. And here it was, reporting snugly between a fat "Encyclopaedia" and smiled to herself as she slipped it from the shelf, and she stooped to pick up a piece of paper which had fluttered to the floor—evidently from the shelf, 100. She was crumpling it up in her hand preparatory to putting it in the stove, when she noticed her husband's handwriting on it. Almost unconsciously she smoothed out the sheea and read it: My Dearest Alice: Will you please pardon the presumption which bids me lift my pen again! I know that your pure womanly soul will shrink from anything like disloyalty or duplicity, but I pray you to have patience with me awhile, ere I try to show you that I am not wholly to blame for the hateful tangle which has ruined our lives. God knows, darling, that I have been the victim of cruel circumstances, and I dare scarcely dwell on the madening thought that never, till death comes to either one of us, shall the galling chain be broken. It is cruel now to talk of the might have been. Oh, Alice!—And here the writing ceased. Nell stood on the stair, locking before her with wide, unseeing eyes. George, her George, to have penned this "infamous epistle". She read it again, and the passionate words burned themselves into her brain and sang dizzily in her cars. It was incredulous, preposterous, she told herself, and yet here was the proof before her eyes, true and tangible in George's own beautiful writing. She sank down on the stairs, a limp heap of dejection. That she had not been the first, the only one, after all—that was the thought that hurt most. Everything else seemed to fade before this overwhelming possibility even the knowledge that her husband had broken faith with her; for Nell had loved deeply and passionately, and the hot, fierce jealousy with which such love is said to be seasoned was stinging her now with cruel intensity. Trifling things which she had scarcely seemed to notice came to her now full of startling moment. She persuaded herself that of late George had grown strangely mysterious in his dolines. Once or twice she had surprised him busily writing when she had expected him to be doing something else; and once—how bitterly came the remembrance of it!—she had awakened during the night to find that George was still downstairs at his desk, and when questioned he had flushed and muttered some unintelligible excuse. And this was the sort of thing that had kept him busy and preoccupied! Nell looked at the paper again. How blind she had been!—she who had thought that her husband could have no secret from her, she who had Across the hill, on the other side, A new road runs to the village rim; Its bed is graveled and hard and wide; No star-wreaths tangle along its brim. It travels on through the sun's hot light With naught of pausing to doze or No sieve it follows, to left or right— No luring dip to a shade-cool stream. And the old road idles its way alone, A vagrant, careless of long neglect; Witch-hazel threatened and bramble- grown. It sinks in a hazy retrospect. And inch by inch as the wild things creep Closer and thicker with web and skein, It laps into a placid sleep. A part, once more, of the wood's dom- ain. And wild sweet clover at last shall heal The scars long left by the wagon wheel, —Youth's Companion. prided herself on being able to read his inmost soul. And oh! the pity of it, this was their wedding-day. The remembrance of the morning, and George's bright face, brought a plea for his innocence, and she walked to the stove and held the note dangerously near to the dancing flames. But the one word "Alice" seemed to grow suddenly more distinct, and almost fiercely Nell's fingers clutched the paper again. She had a vague notion that she would show George the letter and demand an explanation, but as yet heart and brain were in too great a tumult; she could devise no plan of action. So she slipped the paper inside the folds of her blouse, and went about her household duties with a heavier heart than ever she had borne in all her young life. Somehow the weary hours dragged past; sometimes Nell was longing feverishly for her husband's return, and then the thought of this terrible thing made the red blood flush her cheeks, and she was fain to admit to herself that she was afraid to meet him. Afraid of George!—she laughed mirthlessly at the thought of it. But her hand involuntarily sought the letter in its resting-place, and once again came all the bitter thoughts that had been born of her misery. At length the garden gate clicked, and with a feeling, half of shame, half of assumed indifference, Nell picked up a magazine. It would serve to hide her crimson cheeks till she got calmer, and if she intended to be deep in a story, George should not mark the unusual want of greeting. But there were other footsteps on the gravel surely, and she could hear her husband laughing and talking with someone. Presently he ushered in a stranger, and Nell had to gather her scattered wits to give him a welcome. With a woman's want of logic she was telling herself that George might have chosen some more convenient season for bringing his friend, but it was with a sligh of relief that she took her seat at the head of the dainty table, for here, at least, she reflected, was an opportunity for putting off the evil hour. Always the soul of hospitality, Nell surpassed herself that evening, and George watched her with honest pride. He scarcely noticed that she was ignoring him in order to entertain Jack Haldane, and how could he know that the bright sayings and the ringing laughter were because her heart was sore. It was late when Jack Haldane rose to depart, and they both accompanied him to the gate. Nell had just been extending another early invitation to -him, and George was saying "Good-night," when Haldane said suddenly. "Oh, by the bye, George, I saw Alice yesterday, she was inquiring kindly for you—an old sweetheart of your husband's, Mrs. Douglas"; and he swang off down the road laughing gaily. Nell spoke first, when she had gained the shelter of the parlor. She stood on the rug and faced George with an angry spot burning on either cheek. "George Douglas," she said, in a level, strained voice, "what is the meaning of this?" George looked at her in wonderment, then enlightenment came. "It was too bad," he said, apologetically. "I should have given you warning that I was bringing a guest, but you got on all right, you know the dinner was splendid. I—I—" "The dinner!" said Nell, scornfully. "Who spoke of dinners? It is this woman I want to know about—this sweetheart." "Nell!" George was regarding her with an incredulous expression on his face. "Ah, you may well look surprised! You did not think that some day your secrets would be found out. You had better deny that this is the sort of thing you sit up at nights to write. I—I—" But Nell had collapsed on the couch, a disconsolate heap of misery; and George, with white, set face, was looking at the nose she had taken from her blouse. A, pucker gathered between his brows, and it was well that Nell did not see the stern expression of his face just then. There was silence for awhile, broken only by Nell's fitful sobs. George was so quiet that at length she grew frightened and, looking up, she ventured a feeble "Well?" Her husband did not look at her as he answered, he kept starling straight into the fire, but there was that in his voice which hurt her, more than the words he said. "Yes, Nell, this is what I have been sitting up to do. I can't think how I have been so careless to leave this lying about, for as you surmise, it is a secret from my wife. A week or two ago I was rummaging in that old desk Uncle Angus left, and I crane upon a bundle of old manuscripts which he had evidently written in his younger days. There was a bundle of love-letters among them, and from them I gathered an old romance, which partly explains the old man's lonely existence. In a spirit of idle curiosity I gathered the fragments together, wrote some bogus letters in answer to the faded, scented ones in the desk, changed the names, and read with infinite reilish one of the quaintest of old-world stories. I intended to show it to you, but Dickson, of the Elite Magazine, called one day when I was busy on it, and I allowed him to read it. He was delighted, said that there was a furore for such literature just now, and asked to be allowed to use it. I demurred at first, but in the end I gave it to him, thinking that the check I'm to get in return would buy a pretty birthday present for a little woman I know." "Oh, George, it's been such a day," and Nell-sobbed out the whole story of her misery and her penitence. And by and by she smiled through her tears as they went over the tangle of the evidence, and she quite forgot the hateful "Alice" whom Jack Haldane had mentioned, till George explained that she was the sister of his chum, and had been happily married for many a year. A fortnight later they read the proofs of George's story, and as Nell laughed and cried over the story of the old-world lovers, she vowed in heart that never again, as long as she had life, would she be tempted to distrust her husband.—London S.

In these days of increasing use of concrete for building purposes it is recalled that the Pantheon, in Rome, about two thousand years old, is covered by a dome over 142 feet in diameter, which is cast in concrete in one solid mass. The site of a spacious Roman villa in the Castle Park, Colchester, England, has been discovered in a remarkable way. The intense heat, acting upon the grass above the ruined foundations revealed an entire ground plan of the various rooms and passages.

Albert Ledoux of Southbridge, Mass, was saved from death recently by a simple splitting of a limb of a tree. As Ledoux was entering his yard a gust of wind struck a large elm tree right over him, tearing a huge limb of the tree and it started to fall directly on him. As it fell, however, it split in two in midair, part falling on each side of the lucky man.

Though seventy-six years old, he can send an arrow into a squirrel in the tallest tree. Perry went to the Chickasaw country in 1838 from Mississippi with Jim McLish, his old master. They settled on the banks of the Caddo creek, where they built the first house ever erected in the Chickasaw nation. There they lived until 1861. when McLish died; then the old place reverted to Perry, and there he still lives.

THE LEGEND OF THE WORLD'S FIRST WORLD WAR Ship With a Hundred Paddles. An entirely new idea in the propelling mechanism of vessels has been patented by a Massachusetts man.

This mechanism is located amidships in a vessel and below the keel, and consists of numerous paddles working in sprocket wheels. These paddles do not extend at each side of the vessel, but are located within the interior in pairs. To secure the greatest efficiency of propulsion, the paddles are set at an angle with the bottom of the boat, so that when they are doing service in the water their submerged portions will incline toward the bow of the vessel. This will tend to raise the bow as the vessel is propelled, the paddles leaving the water freely and with less tendency to retard the progress of the vessel as they leave the water. The great number of paddles engaging the water at the same time, the inventor claims, will give such constant and advantageous hold upon [Signature] 10 HOW COULD HE? the water that the propelling power is exerted to the greatest advantage and attainment of speed. At the noon hour a prominent Wall Street banker was hurrying out of his office when he suddenly stopped upon noticing a man across the street, and tipped his hat very respectfully. The man was carrying a sandwich board emblazoning the merits of a near-by quick-lunch parlor, and looked altogether seedy. A friend of the banker, who had observed the momentary performance, started to guy him. "Who's your friend?" he asked. "He is a man I have considerable respect for," was the reply. "He was once a prosperous citizen down here, and worth several hundred thousand. He lost everything, and finally had to come to this. Even the best of us are liable to go the same way, you know, and that is why I am not afraid to be respectful to a once brilliant man."—New York Correspondence Pittsburg Dispatch. Analyses of weapons and tools, dating from very ancient times in Egypt, have convolved the American members of the Anglo-Egyptian Archaeological Expedition that the old Egyptians used pure copper in the manufacture of such objects. They displayed much ingenuity in manipulating that metal. A chisel was made by folding thin strips of copper over one another and then forging them into a solid blade, while hollow needles were formed from copperleaf by a method very similar to that employed at the present day in making hellacal tubing for bicycles and automobiles.

Cut maldenhair fern will keep in water if the stalks are put into a jug of boiling water and then allowed to stand till cold. After this arrange the fern with flowers in the usual way. Carpet Economy. Save all the raveling from carpets to darn thin places. Spots should be removed from rugs and carpets at once, as they are more difficult to take out after dust has settled in them. Cooling the Oven To cool an oven while baking keep the door shut, put in the damper of the oven flue, and if the oven is still too hot remove one of the rings of the hot plate. This will reduce the temperature quickly without admitting cold air to the oven. The Cleansing Potato. It is not generally known that the potato possesses great cleaning properties. Cold potatoes, when used instead of soap, clean the hands well and keep the skin soft. The water in which potatoes have been boiled is excellent for sponging out dirt from silk.

Haddock Souffle.—One cup or cold baked haddock and one of mashed potatoes, mixed together, one-half cup of milk added gradually; salt and pepper; stir in one egg well beaten, put in a buttered mould or dish and set in the oven till hot, then beat the white of another egg and stir into it the yolk beaten with salt and pepper. Heap over the fish and brown. Creamed. Codfish.—Soak the fish three hours; then boil in fresh water until tender, then pick out all the bones. To cream it for breakfast take one pint of milk and bring to a boiling point; thicken with a tablespoonful of corn starch dissolved in a little water; add a spoonful of butter and stir in the fish—not less than a large cupful—add two well beaten eggs, let them cook a moment and serve hot.—Washington Star. Fricassee of Shrimp.—A quart of tomatoes, a quart of water, onions to sult taste, stewed together until the tomatoes can be passed through a sieve. After straining stew with seasoning and a tablespoonful of butter creamed with a little flour for fifteen minutes.

ALL of our voters should go to the court house and pay their tax. The books will close next Thursday and all voters whose tax is not paid will be unable to vote in January.

THE killing of the white boy on Sunday last while out shooting by one of his companions should be a lesson to not only white but colored boys and a warning to parents to know more about the whereabouts f their children. Several of the boys concerned in the tragedy were armed with pistols, but to our knowledge nothing was done to punish or reprimand them. WITHIN the past several week several cases of alleged criminal assault have been charged in this city to colored men. Those alleged attempts have been made on colored girls. Crimes of this kind are only committed by a vagabond class of men and an example should be made of each of them found guilty of this grave offense. The municipal fight is on and there will be strenuous times between this and election day, the second Tuesday in January. It is expected that our voters will do the right thing and stand up like men. They must be no selling of votes nor barter for influence. Any man or set, of men who at tempt such, should be ostracised Our voters should unite with the best white men for from them only substantial recognition will be given. LAST week in Atlanta, a white man assaulted a white woman. The newspaper account of it was very tame and the usual "if caught would be lynched" was not noted, as in the cases of the colored men who are accused. In cases of this kind, and in fact in every instance if the newspapers would treat colored accused nearly as considerate as they would white ones the bitter sentiment against us a race would be considerably lessened. On Monday last a white man who confessed to have stolen $10,000 by forgery was tried in the Superior Court and acquitted upon a technicality of law. In the same court immediately following a colored man who had forged orders not amounting to $30.00, was found guilty and sentenced to four years in the penitentiary. The difference between $10,000 and $30.00 is great and the verdicts in the two cases puts one to thinking. Such verdicts are the cause of the greater number of colored than white criminals THE action of Mr. Hudson, who is a teacher of one of the county schools west of the city in his efforts to raise funds to erect a suitable building for school purpose is commendable and he should receive hearty support. The board of education will not under any circumstances erect such a building for colored children, therefore to have the children comfortable, etc., it is better for the patrons to do so. Other teachers should imitate the efforts of Mr. Hudson and show the board of education that the people are inclined to help themselves. It is strange that when there is anything of vital interest to us as a race it is a difficult matter to get the men to act in unison, but soon as a county or municipal election happens where there is a contest, you can find more clubs organized than "sticks can be shaken after." If these colored men had been equally active when there was a Republican ticket during the state and Congressional elections then they could be stamped as being at least consistent but to do so, show that they are looking after the loaves and fishes. worship. In many churches questionable entertainments are given, thus violating the purpose for which they were dedicated. Howling mobs of whistling boys, clapping their hands and stamping their feet have no place in the house of the Lord, and ministers and officers guilty of allowing it, are held accountable before their Maker for such a sacrilege. Can the boys and girls be trained to res the house of the Lord when entertainments are allowed SAVANNAH needs a well organized Woman's Club on the order of the Federation of Colored Woman's Clubs. The need of such an organization is apparent on every hand. We have many homes in the city that are models in every respect but there are hundreds of others that are not. The inmates of the latter many times are inclined to have them so, but fail on account of the want of encour agement and knowledge of how to act. Such a club with conscientious members could revolutionize social status in this community by working along the lines of the federated clubs. Those of us who are better informed should reach down and help them up. In this respect we are really "Our brother's keeper" and the responsibility for their well being rest heavily upon the shoulders of those who are in position to help them. The white race has numerous organizations tending toward the uplift of their women, their boys and girls and distressed ones. As a race we are wanting inthem. If the whites find it necessary with their hundreds of years of advancement along moral and financial lines to have such organizations, why then it is a hundred times more necessary for us to have them. The nucleus of such an organization can be found by the ladies of the Frances E W. Harper Literary and Social Circle, the Auxiliary of the Men's Sunday Club and of the many other institution of ladies who are interested in the uplift of our people. May we not have such an organization as early as possible. The readers of THE TRIBUNE are well aware of its stand on the immigration question. We are totally against wholesale immigration to any clime, Africa or elsewhere. Wholesale immigration causes privations, distresses and other ills that follow, for ninety per cent of those who migrate do so more on account of feeling than their ability to finance themselves after reaching their destination. THE TRIBUNE is not against individuals nor in fact any number of well prepared in a financial way with a fixed purpose and an understanding as to where they are going to migrate. Such persons would no doubt benefit themselves and the place where they dwell. Our contention against wholesale migration of purposeless, pennyless people has been upheld by the several bodies that left here within the past fifteen years for Africa. Many of them died on their way, others died at their destination, and many of the survivors were unable to make a living and thereby starved, while others wrote back to friends to provide them with return transportation. It was only a few months ago that a destituted family passed thru this city for Fitzgerald from Africa, where they were barely living and whose friends had to mortgage everything that they had to provide them with return passage to this country. We are informed that another organization is working now to secure a number of persons to go to Africa. We do not wish to appear as a pessimist as against the plans of the promoters of this scheme, but as a journal published in the interest of the whole people, we are compelled to warn our people of what they are doing. On account of the unsettled affairs in this country so far as race feeling is concerned, at present many of our people can be easily influenced by any one to sell and join any imaginary movement to leave. But they must think a hundred times before they act. A large number of our people has been duped by a former colonization company into paying money for tickets on steamers that never sailed, and the same thing is liable to happen again. The leaders of our people in the rural districts especially where such agents operate, should not allow them to be swindled by gibl complex immigration agents. Those of our people who want to and are able to support themselves a year or more in their new homes should be encouraged, but others with only a sufficient amount to pay their fare should be told to stay at home. UNDER the head of "Christmas and its Observance" The Woman's Advocate in its recent issue made an excellent plea for the proper observance of Christmas in Atlanta. It equally fits Savannah and other places where this sacred day is celebrated in such a pagan manner. If the ministers would do more along this line of improvement, possibly the sentiment would spread and in a few years tin horns, fireworks and firewater as a means of observing this natal day would be used only by a few. While the day of our Saviour's resurrection is befitingly and justly celebrated by christians, why not His natal day? Services should be held in the various churches and the pagan observances of the day fought by christian methods. Will our ministers call the people's attention to this and act accordingly? Following is the plea of the Advocate: "Christmas will soon be upon us. As a rule, it has been spent in a most unchristian way by many of us, rowdying, shooting, blowing horns, fighting and making the day as hideous as we could. Now, we all know that such actions are not right; they are debasing and show that in all things Christian, we are making haste slowly and very slowly at that." "Hence this Christmas let us all lay aside our guns, pistols, fire crackers, tin horns, and whiskey and take our Bibles and children and go up to the house of the Lord and there spend the day as it should be spent. "Husbands and wives, this can be done if we will only resolve to do it. There is absolutely no reason why the mothers and fathers of this day should not have as great control over their children as mothers and fathers of days gone by. They observed Christmas day as it should be in those days. Christmas day should be spent in praise to Illim who was born on that day to bear the world's cross that it might be lighter for us. Let us praise the Lord this Christmas in peace, in quiet and with great joy. Let us do our part in helping to carry out our Mayor's desire for quite a Christian Christmas." Prejudice Knocked Out. Prejudice Knocked Out. Some months ago the members of the white lodges of the Knights of Pythias instituted suit against the colored Knights of Pythias to prevent them from using the name "Knights of Pythias." The injunction suit was entered in Atlanta and argued week before last at which time the judge took it under advisement. Wednesday afternoon he decided against the injunction and the colored knights are left in the full enjoyment of their name. St. Phillips' Dots. Crowds at each service on Sunday. At 11 a.m. Rev J. C. Colquit of the C. M. E. conference delivered one of the greatest sermons that have been delivered at St. Philips for a long while. The congregation felt that it was a treat and they had to congratulate Rev. Colquit for such a message sent by God thru him. At 8 p. m. Rev.G.L. Word of the C.M.E. Conference preached and many had to go away on account of not getting seats. Rev Word's text was Matt. 13, subject, "A Leaven," Rev.

The Kennesaw Club. Probably one of the most notable social events of the season occurred when the members of the Kennesaw Club, assembled in their quarters at 410 Taylor Street west, for election and installation of officers, and with their friends and guests enjoyed their anniversary dinner, which was an elaborate affair. Covers were laid for one hundred and fifty and the menu consisted of the most up-to-date dishes of the culinary art. The Kennesaw is the oldest club of its kind in the city and probably the state, and enrolled on its list of membership is many of our well known and influential citizens. The entertainment was in commemoration of the seventeenth year of its existence having been chartered under the laws of Georgia. Mr. John D. Savage, who has presided over the destinies of the club since its organization was unanimously re-elected president. The list of officers elected is as follows: J. D. Savage, President; Jos, Paige, Vice-President; T. J. Carter, Treasurer; A. N, Mordecal, Manager; J. D. Powell Secretary; Board of Governors: Josiah Paige, J. D. Powell, J. D. Savage, T. J. Carter, M. H. Anderson, A. N. Mordecal H. T. Parks, E. H. Jones, J. S. Bythewood, J. B. McGregor, R. H. Harris, J. A. Uary. After the election President pro tem C. M. Brinson, who presided, announced dinner and the derelict dishes left after the feast, fully attested to fereness of the attack upon them and the greatness of the slaughter, and was a fitting endorsement of the culinarian genius. After dinner had been served, speaking was the order and prominent among the many speakers were the president, pro tem C. M. Brinson whose theme "Good citizenship," made a great impression and received the unstinted approval of all present. Following which, Mr. H. T. Parks spoke upon the good of organizations and their resultant duties and closed with a beautiful verse. He said that when men banded themselves together in organization the bond should be "as strong as a ship that, braves a blast, upon a stormy sea. As strong as the ocean, rippling tides, stronger still should the friendship be." The principal speaker of the occasion, Mr. E. W. Howell, of Atlanta, spoke of Justice and Manhood. His speech took in a wide range and in a vehement and vindictive outburst spoke of the recent discharging of soldiers. On a motion by Mr. H. T. Parks, Mr. A. N. Mordecai, the efficient manager of the club yaa given a rousing vote of thanks, for the excellent manner of his arrangement of the entertainment and the executive ability shown in the past management of the club and after a rejoiner by the gentleman in a neat speech expressing his thanks for the courtesy shown him, the -ceremonies closed amid music and songs. All present attested to the joyousness of the affair. 9 Mr. J. D SAVAGE.

American Girls Lead World. "The American girl of seventeen is simply lovely. No other girl on any continent can boast of such a delicate beauty," said Mrs. T. P. O'Connor, wife of the British Member of Parliament, while in Boston on a visit. "Beauty that is at once delicate and bewitching, a delightful strenuosity and a dashing style, are the winning combinations that characterize the American woman and make her irresistible." she continued. "The American woman is more independent, more healthful and has a more stylish taste for dress and home furnishing than the English woman." Mrs. O'Connor was born in America. Washerwoman's Motor Car. There is a story going the rounds concerning Mrs Christian K. Huber, of Battle Creek, Mich., that is very interesting. Mrs. Huber is a washerwoman, and she goes about in an automobile bought with money she earned over the tub. She does from eighteen to twenty-four family washes a week, for which she gets about $25. She has been taking in washing for eighteen years, meanwhile caring for five children and giving them an education. She owns the house in which she lives, a farm and a house which she rents. Mrs. Huber can scarely be called a typical washerwoman. She represents rather high-water mark in that humble business. However, she is by no means a solitary example of what a determined and thrifty washerwoman can do.—Pittsburg Gazette Times. Empress Eugenie's Modesty. A more recent example of regal modesty has come under notice in a letter addressed by the Empress Eugenie to one of her family. In it she says: "They used to accuse me of extravagance! What did my expenses represent as compared to those of any bourgeoisie of today! During all the time I was Empress I had only three dresses that cost, each of them, as much as $200—one for my marriage, one for the Exposition of 1868, and one for the christening of the Prince Imperial!" The very sorts of gowns worn and the material of which they are made have changed in the last generation. Worth, the great Paris dressmaker, established his reputation through the splendor of the stuff he made use of during the Empire. Solid and grand-fose, these long-enduring silks and satins, made on the hand-looms at Lyons, were of a substantially inappropriate to the needs of today, for these needs have radically altered. Co-Education Abolished. Co-education at the University of Chicago has been abolished. Its official death warrant has been signed by the faculty and henceforth as fast as the plans can be matured the men and women are to be gradually separated until complete segregation has ultimately been secured. The final aim is to build up two affiliated universities, one for women, the other for men. Dean William D. MacClintock made announcement of the new plans to the women's college of philosophy. The buildings for the women's dormitory, recreation rooms and entertainment hall are to be entirely removed from those of the men, and the two sexes will never meet in class, at lectures or at chapel meetings. They will occasionally meet on the campus. "These arrangements," Dean Mac Cilnock announced, "will insure privacy both to the men and the women. They will meet on a strictly intellectual basis. University life here needs to be more secluded and freer from the publicity which is now its greatest failing." Marriage Lottery Orders. Bachelors and men of all kinds and conditions all over Europe are inundating the mails with registered letters and money orders demanding tickets for the new marriage lottery, second of its kind, soon to be started in Milan. A committee of artists, men and women, are now engaged in selecting the victims—namely, thirty unmarried women of good reputation, faultless figures and beautiful faces, says a cable dispatch. These will form the prizes, together with dots to be granted by the lottery company. The largest dot of $200,000 will be attached to the finest looking among the thirty girls selected; lesser dots, from $100,000 to $5000, will go with the other twenty-nine damsels. Anybody and everybody can buy tickets, as many as he likes, the more the better. And anybody has a chance to win—money at least. If the winner happens to be a married person, or a male, or an unreasonable being, who desires to marry the beauty selected for him by the committee—why, he may say so and divide the money consideration with the girl. The girls, on their part have to sign papers agreeing not to sue the men who refuse them for breach of promise.—The Argonaut. English Women Ride Astride. Among society women of London the fashion of riding horseback aslride is becoming more and more popular. The latest development of the idea is that adopted by Lady Castlereagh. She wears an ordinary hunting frock coat, riding brecches and top boots. Other devotees of this fashion, accorded to a well known riding master, are Lady Constance Stewart-Richardson and the Duchess of Westminster. This riding master adds; "I cannot recommend the new seat. There is no safer way riding a horse than sidesaddle. The pommels support the rider in such a way that unless she faints or absolutely loses all her nerve she cannot come off." The manager of a fashionable Regent street habit maker's establishment says that although numbers of ladies are riding astride the majority of them are, wearing the divided skirt. This concern has, however, made the latest, dress and only the other day it had an order from the Gaekwar of Baroda for a costume of that kind for his daughter. Color of the Bride's Gown. It is interesting to note that the choice of white wedding dresses is comparatively a modern fashion. The Roman brides wore yellow, and in the most Eastern countries pink is the bridal color. During the middle ages the renaissance brides wore crimson, and most of our Plantagenet and Tudor Queens were married in this vivid hue, which is still popular in parts of Brittany, where the bride is usually dressed in crimson brocade. It was Mary Stuart who first changed the color of bridal garments. At her marriage with Francis 11. of France, in 1533—which took place not before the altar but before the great doors of Nctre Dame—she was gowned in white brocade, with a train of pale blue Persian velvet six yards in length. This innovation caused quite a stir in the fashion world at that time. It was not, however, till quite the end of the seventeenth century that pure white—the color hitherto worn by royal French widows—became popular for bridal garments in England.—Church Electric. A Mormon Romance Blasted. Through my acquaintance with the apostle's daughter I met one of the Young boys, and we forthwith fell in love. The meetings were not as frequent as our ardent passion craved, for he went to the Mormon school, while gentlece children attended the schools of Episcopal, Methodist or whatever church the parents were identified with. The ministers of the different churches were called "professors" during the week and secular class rooms were used for Sunday school as well. Unable to meet often, we decided to intrust our messages to Uncle Sam, and the course of true love might have run on and finally enlisted me in a regiment of Mrs. Youngs but for the intervention of fate. Having no stamp for my billet doux, and having squandered my last nickel in riotous peppermint lozenges, I resorted to the waste paper basket and found what seemed to me a perfectly good stamp. The postmaster was not of the same opinion, unfortunately, and he actually broke the seal of my sacred communication and took the letter to my father. The rest of the story is veiled in tears, and before the wounds had fairly healed I made the acquaintance of my beloved's father, Brigham Young.—Outlook. Fashion Notes. Silver fox is pronounced the leading fur of the season for muff-and-scarf sets. The Burlingham silks make chaming houses dresses—for young as well as old. That diminutive Empire bolero used since early spring is seen again on the costliest evening gowns. The Empire fashions are a boon to the long-waisted girl. One sees them in gowns, in evening coats, and even in the short sult coats. In house gowns of all classes, the jacket effect figures as the most used bodice garnishment. It's often, to be sure, only the merest semblance. One never likes to see figured materials on elderly women, and there are some younger figures and faces that never harmonize with fabrics of fanciful design. Black silk braid edges the vest of white kid on a dark green suit and appears in a conventional pattern upon the skirt; this is an extremely good combination. Gun metal and the tan shades are about equally popular in gloves this fall, and as either harmonizes well with almost any costume, they are equally useful. Insets of lace dyed, the same color and silver beads, tiny silver spangles, or silver bangles are used as a trimming for rich taupe-colored chiffon gowns which are made over white or rose color. interesting Work New Being Carried On Near Bridgeport. A project in land reclamation is now being carried forward near Bridgeport, the results of which promise to present many features of interest to property owners, particularly in view of the great activity in the near-by sections of Long Island, with their vast low-lying tracts waiting to be made productive. Experiments have been made by the Long Island railroad on barren tracts near Wadding River, L. I., and reclamation work is in progress at various other points, but this undertaking in Connecticut is important as showing especially what can be done in the reclaiming of salt meadow and making it available for farming and market gardening. Between Bridgeport and Stratford, on the Somid shore, is a tract of 1000 acres crossed by small creeks and covered with a rank growth of salt grass. In the past this grass has been gathered and has found a market of indifferent character, being used for packing and bedding. It brought only $ $ a ton, and on that basis barely paid for the work of gathering it. About a year ago the work of reclaiming an area of ten acres was undertaken under the direction of E. J. Hollister, who was the organizer and is now the general adviser of the Winona Agricultural Institute at Winona, Lake, Ind., and who has supervised reclamation projects at many places in the United States and Canada. One of his more recent undertakings in this part of the country resulted in converting a large tract of lowland and bogs at Locust Valley, L. L., into an attractive part of W. D. Guthrie's estate at that place. Immediately in charge of the work near Bridgeport is Frank R. Sammis, representing the Stratford Land and Improvement company. The results of the first season's efforts have been highly encouraging, so that Mr. Hollister feels justified in predicting that this practically worthless tract can be made to yield annually hay, or "tame grass," as he calls it, worth at least $45 an acre, with a certain increase of this amount to $100 an acre after the soil has been more thoroughly treated and made suitable for planting other crops such as sweet corn, celery and asparagus. The work of reclaiming land of this sect divides itself into two branches — first, the keeping out of tidewater and later the bringing about of the necessary changes in the chemical make-up of the soil so that it will support various forms of plant life. The tide is kept out by the construction of dykes, and any remaining water carried off in drains. Owing to the exclusion of the salt water, the meadow land naturally begins to "sweeten" itself—a process which is also hastened by rains, when they do not have to contend against the flooding of the tract by tidewater twice daily. The meadow is then thoroughly plowed and the doctoring of the soil begun. Lime is introduced to complete the work of counteracting the salt, the necessary quantity of course varying in different localities. The disintegration of the soil also adds to its capacity for retaining water and absorbing oxygen. "A salt meadow is a good deal like a piece of corned beef," said Mr. Hollister yesterday in discussing his work, "and almost the same thing happens to it when the tide is kept out as happens to a piece of corned beef if it is kept out of its tub of brine. Decomposition is hastened, and that, of course, is essential to all forms of plant life. "Such a tract as there is between Bridgeport and Stratford is a sleeping giant—the power is there and needs only intelligent direction to make it enormously productive. After such land has been thoroughly prepared and, as it were, made of a receptive character, it is comparatively easy to continue the treatment of it by the addition of the various chemical elements in which it is lacking, this treatment being regulated to a large extent by the kind of crop desired. "Enormous quantities of hay are now brought to this city from the west and find a ready market at $16 a ton. Even if nothing but grass, were to be raised on reclaimed lands around New York large areas could be made to yield at least three tons of hay to the acre. On this basis, the first year's crop would fully pay the cost of reclaiming, and would make the future yield unusually profitable." As to what might be done with other crops, it is only necessary to recall what was done with the bogs around Kalamazoo, Mich., which were long regarded as practically valueless, but which are now worth $900 an acre and on which celery to the value of $600,000 is raised each year."—New York Times. Hls Own Son. Richard Seddon, then premier of New Zealand, was very active in urging the colony to send troops to aid the mother country in South Africa during the Boer War, says the New York Tribune. On one occasion he was taunted by an opposition member with readiness to sacrifice the lives of the colony's manhood. "You are ready enough to send our sons and brothers to be shot at, but—" began the opponent. "Sir," interrupted the preacher, "I have this, morning signed a commission for my own son—and I have dared him to come back without a wound." His critic was effectively silenced. ORCHARD and GARDEN Turkeys are, despite their magnificent proportions and apparent strength, by far the most delicate fowl the farmer has ever domesticated.

Improvement by selection has made the live stock of this country more valuable. It was once supposed that a three-minute gait in trotting was very fast, and the four-mile running horses barely accomplished the distance in eight minutes. A sixty-pound sheep was large and the razorback hog was on every farm. Today we have trotting horses that have gotten close to a mile in two minutes, the runner has nearly reached a minute and a half, while sheep that weight 400 pounds alive are not rare.—Philadelphia Record. Keep Up Fertility. To keep up the fertility of your land it is necessary to follow up some system of rotation in cropping. The system of rotation to take up is that one which is best adapted to your community. Make an endeavor to secure all the manure possible and don't forget to use it just as soon as you can get possession of it. Once you get the land strong in fertility use every means at your command to keep it so, and when this is done, and lived up to continuously, a fair measure of success is generally assured.—New York Witness. Sweet Corn For Fattening Hogs Sweet Corn For Fattening Hogs. One of the best crops that can be grown for fattening hogs is sweet corn, at least where early fall killing is desired and it can be fed in the green or doughy state. Early varieties can be planted three feet apart each way, which will insure as many or more bushels per acre than common field corn and its richness of sweet and juice render it more palatable, digestible and profitable to the hog family. Many farmers have stumbled onto the fact of the great superiority of sweet corn for fattening hogs by feeding up the cull stuff sorted from the corn that was raised for seed. Planting at different intervals, or planting kinds which will ripen in succession, one after the other, would prove successful for a steady feed and is sure to bring quick and satisfactory results.—Agricultural Epitomist. Silo Notes. All the great dairy states have numerous silos. Silos are as common as barns in Wisconsin now. Twelve dollars a ton for hay is strong evidence that you ought to build a silo. Silage is more economically harvested, stored and fed than any other roughage. In '8S the Department of Agriculture could find only 9 farmers in the country who used silos. Silaged-fed cows winter better, give more milk and do better when put on pasture than others. If the silage moulds and decays on the top do not begin to worry. This seals up the rest and keeps all that is under in prime condition. Pack the silage well at the sides. The middle will settle of its own weight, but the contact with the sides of the silo keeps it from settling around the outer edge.—Indiana Farmer. 一 Clean up the Poultry Houses. Every poultry keeper should pay considerable attention from now on to cleaning up the poultry premises. Take out all the roosting poles and nest boxes and dropping boards. Spray them thoroughly and cover with air-slaked lime dusted into all the cracks. Cleanse the floor so that it will be sweet and clean for winter use. A small hand spray pump and two or three buckets of whitewash will cover a goodly lot of poultry wall and ceiling in a few hours, and there is nothing like a good application to make the house clean and bright. Hens must be kept comfortable during the rainy days of late fall and the cold ones of winter if they are to do well and pay for their keep and profit besides. Mites will be especially active at this season and a thorough renovating of the poultry house will get rid of them. The warm nights will cause the mites and lice in the chicken house to thrive and multiply, and they sap the life of the hens and chicks or anything within their reach. Give them a good set-back at this season and it will last during the whole winter.—Farm Life. Wonderfully Efficient. Countless thousands are sorely annoyed, most especially at this time of the year by gallled shoulders and trace rubs on their draft animals. Place in an old tomato can, one teacupful good hog lard; add one teaspoonful crude carbolic acid and stir in enough wood soot from cook stove to make this mixture a good black. Place the can in curry comb box and when done brushing your horse rub with your finger or a small splinter a small quantity of the mixture on each affected place. If this is done at each currying, say two or three times daily the result will be very-gratifying. I have used this remedy for a number of years and can not recall a single instance where inflammation set in, when the above directions were carried out, even when the animal would continue to work. This will also make a quick growth of hair when applied to bare places—A. Myers, Jr., Byhalia, Miss. Sheep Are Good Property. It looks now like sheep, as well as corn, will remain at a good price for years, and a flock on the farm is profitable' over and above receipts for wool, and mutton in the lamb increase. Wallace's Farmer advices the keeping of a flock of 50 on an 80 acre farm, or 100 on 160 acres, and now that sheep are up in prices to start with twenty-five ewes and a pure bred buck, and thus grow the flock, and adds: The time is ripe, or nearly ripe, for the introduction of a flock on every farm. Farmers are now coming to the point when they can fence and cross-fence their farms with woven wire, thus enabling them to feed their sheep over the whole farm instead of confining them to a permanent pasture. The permanent pasture very soon becomes sheep-sick, and the farmer becomes discouraged. However, with sheep-tight fences he can use his sheep on the stubble fields or on the aftermath of the meadows, and he can fatten his lambs in the corn field to the benefit both of the lambs and corn field. There is more money for the amount invested in sheep than in any other kind of live stock we know of. Sheep are high now; the probability is that they will continue high. Sheep may be lower than they are now—probably will be—but we do not expect to live long enough to see sheep sell at the low price prevalent ten years ago. Even then, however, they were profitable. We will never have clean farms until we introduce sheep husbandry. With the exception of thistles, mullen and cockleburs in their mature stage, sheep will eat every kind of weed that we know of on the farm, and profit by the eating of it. A properly fenced farm with a hundred sheep will never be badly infested with weeds. Therefore, once more we say, keep a few sheep. Don't buy many, for two reasons: They are bigh now, and the sheep business is one that must be learned—not from books or papers, but from actual experience in keeping sheep. A flock of twenty-five will increase faster than the average man's knowledge of how to keep them. Farm and Garden Notes. Success with sheep cannot be had without kindness. Do not keep the old sheep, they take disease easily and so are a source of danger to the flock. Don't forget to whitewash the poultry quarters frequently, adding a little carbolic acid to the whitewash. As a cure for stretches there's nothing better than melted lard; as a preventive, succulent rations is par excellence the thing. What awful results come from careless owners trying to make the horse fit the harness. Keep your eyes open and adjust the harness to the horse. Alfalfa hay has been found most excellent for sheep, and a large flockmaster is growing a good acreage of it for this express purpose. Lambs grow rapidly on it. Sheep detest mud and no matter how warm and commoulious the barn, unless clean and dry, they will be very uncomfortable in it and consequently will not thrive. Little chickens, as well as the older ones need grit, charcoal, crushed bone, etc. They have no teeth and they need something to help grind and digest their feed. Close up those cracks in the stable so that the horse will have it as comfortable as possible. Keeping horses below the freezing point in winter saves feed and saves horses. "The best is none too good for the farmer." Neither is the best hay any too good for the horse. It always seemed to me that the horse that worked hard every day should have the best feed. Here is a formula, for a cheap and effective insect powder: Two pounds of tobacco dust, two pounds of sulphur, one ounce of carbolic acid. Mix and allow to stand for twenty-four hours, when it can be pulverized and is ready for use. DOES YOUR BACK ACHIE? Profit by the Experience of One Who Has Found Relief. James R.

"You know how hens eat ground oyster shells and thus produce eggs with good, thick, strong shells?

The stomach does not digest any of the starchy food we eat—white bread, pastry, potatoocs, oats, etc. these things are digested in the small intestines, and if we eat too much, as most of us do, the organs that should digest this kind of food are overcome by excess of work, so that fermentation, indigestion, and a long train of allis result. Too fat fat also is hard to digest and this is changed into acids, sour stomach, belching gas, and a bloated, heavy feeling. In these conditions a change from indigestion foods to Grape-Nuts will work wonders in not only relieving the distress, but in building up a strong digestion, clear brain and steady nerves. A Wash. woman writes: "About five years ago I suffered with bad stomach—dyspepsia, indigestion, constipation—caused, I know now, from eating starchy and greasy food.

I also to be ready to stand firm and Brooklyn, N. Y.—Prcaching at the Irving Square Presbyterian Church on the theme, "Jesus Christ," the Rev. I. W. Henderson, pastor took as his text John 1:14: "And the word was made flesh and dwelt among us." He said: The character and career of Jesus Christ are the ground of human hope and the basis of mankind's belief in His power as the Saviour. His life, as the evidence of the sincerity of His speech, is the source of His success. The outward action of our Master is the signal and the surety of His inward healthfulness of heart. In His life, precept and practice were at coincidence. With Him thought and deed always were concurrent. His words conveyed His real intentions and His innermost -ideals. His language was to lead men unto eternal life and was never used to conceal a wicked thought. Preaching a gospel of light unto the salvation of the world and proclaiming His personal sufficiency as the Saviour of mankind from sin, Jesus Christ talked truth, walked true, died on Calvary, in devotion to His-divine commission, unto the saving of the souls of sinners. The life of Jesus is remarkable, not only as it reveals His oneness with divinity, but also as it shows to us what qualities of manhood are potent for a real success. Tackling the mightiest problem in the world the Christ exemplifies what are the means that we should use to win success in all our lesser strife. He teaches us a lesson that should count for much in all our daily doings; which should make us forceful factors which shall lead men up to God; which should push us ever nearer to His holiness and grace. The life and the death, i. e., the career of Jesus Christ, reveal to us four divine qualities of character that every man should possess. In His downright eagerness; in His fiery intenseness; in His clear cut, sharp directness; and in His faithfulness to the truth and to His trust, the Friend of humanity leads every man successward, if he will to go. The earnestness of Jesus Christ is a secret of His power. Tendering to men a surety of eternal life, He did not fool their time or His own way. Professing a pledge of upliftment from the depth of sin, He held His word in serious regard. The salvation of the world was not more child's play, but a 'whole man's', yea, the God-man's, labor. The need was for a man who was dead in earnest. Such a man was the Chris. Earnestness made Christ a winner. Clearness of vision as to His mission would have been of none effect had the Christ been weak of will. Love for men and loyalty to His Father made strong demand for earnestness. The pluck and the push of the Master secured the consummation of His purpose. Irresolution would have merited defeat, and it would have gained our Lord oblivion. Lack of zeal would have lost the Christ to history. But for His earnestness and determination the story of His virtues never would have reached our ears. Earnestness or Je Christ push the fight into the country of the enemy; courage and resolution won Him fame and secured Him in His place of glory in the Father's home. With a fiery intenseness, Jesus battled for the souls of men. His was no lukwarm, milk and water, blow hot and blow cold, half-hearted enthusiasm. The Christ was always ardent. His spirit never cooled, but was ever at a rich, white-heat. His was enthusiasm compounded. Believing, as He did, that the happiness of the human soul are the main concerns of human life, our Lord had ever a zeal that was glowing. Trusting in the power of divine aid and knowing the need of the human race to be saved from sin, Jesus Christ was as full of earnestness as He was of grace and truth. Grace is good; truth is a talisman of might, but grace and truth need grit and fire ere they do their greatest work. Iron is a mineral of worth, but for battle give me tempered steel. Men of muscle are goodly to the sight, but for action send me out the man of courage and the souls who want to win. But with all His earnestness and intenseness the Saviour made unerring aim. Directness was not the least of His commendable traits. The need was for good marksmanship and a sure sight. Sin was at the centre of the world's distress and to hit the middle of the target was the mission of the Christ. Jesus never minced matters when He dealt with sin. Without care for the consequences and with no circumlocution our Lord, let loose His flaming wrath upon the works and the workers, of iniquity. His was no uncertain, wavering voice. The fear of the outcome of His fierce denunciation of spiritual and moral lawlessness was foreign to His heart. Clear, sharp, with an incisiveness that cut to the very core of the matter. He stated the fundamental propositions of the Kingdom of our God and then made His enemies admit the power of His points. His was no halting, thin-toned statement of eternal virtues. Feeling within the deepest recess of His heart that sin was the cause of man's suffering and knowing that: re-birth was necessary to a full salvation, the Master sent forth those firm, direct and forceful messages that have been the object of the curses of a few and the hope and inspiration of a mighty and unnumbered host who do honor to His name. To supplement His earnestness and pennning directness Jesus added surpassing faithfulness. Faithfulness is but a simile for steadfastness. To be faithful is to have a cordial certainty that the right must win aid also to be ready to stand firm and valiant for the truth until rightcousness shall prevail. The Christ was pre-eminently faithful. His was the incorruptible devotion to the demands of duty which should be the ideal of us all. To Him we must turn do we wish to see the ideality of service. From Him must we learn would we get the wisdom that shall gain us our ambition's goal. Sitting at the feet of the Master do we enter into knowledge of a fine fidelity which commands respect. Earnestness, intenseness, directness, faithfulness—these are the four words that point the lesson for us now. To Christians and to the Christless souls of the universe of God, the Saviour is the interpreter of the salient qualities that are necessary for a life's successes. He it is who illustrates and objectifies for us what our lives should be. The need for these cardinal virtues was never more evident or well voiced than in this day. In the world of business they are no less needed than in those religious spheres where moral and spiritual verities are uppermost. The necessity for the exercise of these qualities that make for manly might is everywhere apparent. To the man who would attain business predominance and commercial power they are invaluable and indispensable. Deduct the moral criminality which has made possible the success of many of the industrial and financial leaders of our day and the fact that their influence is largely based upon indomitable pluck and energy and dutifulness still outstands all else. Backbone and push have been the reason for the rapidity in advancement of a throng. A clean bull's eye gains applause for the man with the hand and the true sight. Directness brings to a man the confidence of the crowd. Half-heated, poorly-fired, swaying, swerving, irresolute men without sense or sand enough to be true to anything for any considerable length of time never reach the top, never attain, never are lifted to a place of power. The world has small use for mongl weaklings or men without spunk and grit, at the front. These characteristics which we have denominated as among the distinguishing features in the Christ's career are most essential, however, to the man who would reach the highest usefulness and be most a blessing in the world. Needful as these qualities may be to those who would be famed for physical and material achievement they are still more requisite for those who desire spiritual graces. Especially are they compulsory and mandatory for those who have not acknowledged Christ and would wish to call Him Lord. The soul's restoration depends entirely upon the willingness of the sinner to seek salvation earnest and in faith. Spiritual baptism is the gift of the Father to those only who come straight to the point. Excuses and attempts at palliation of our personal guilt merely delay the crisis. Extenuation and mitigation are of none avail. Decisive and conclusive yielding of the heart to the Master is the one concession that will bring a spiritual surcase from the woe of a wicked life. Earnest endeavor to be faithful to the trust of the Christian Sonship gives growth and greatness in the spiritual life. These gospels from the life of our Lord have special bearing upon the activities of the church. The church of Christ is not so carnest, not so intense, not so faithful, as she should be in the spreading of the seed of salvation. The church has lessened her directness too much in her attacks upon the strongholds of sin. We have been content with mediocrity while the devil has gained ascendance. The church, to be the agent for godliness that she is called upon to be, must get down to business. Half-heartedness puts the flag of the Christ at half-mast. We must nail our colors at the top and keep them there. Directness demands clean-cut, unwavering work done with faithfulness, fidelity and with honing hearts. The church, each of us and all of us together, must cease to be satisfied with poor work or none. The salvation of our own souls and the procuring of temporal and eternal blessings for ourselves is not enough. Are we to attain success, as an organization, in the spiritual work that counts, we must be all on fire with the desire to save men's souls, and to bring happiness to their hearts and lives while here. Lack of zeal will condemn us as unworthy. Feeble fire proves realiness. A poor aim lays us open to the enemy's assaults. Unfaithfulness is unworthy of us and will meet the condemnation of our God. Celestial Investments. Everyone who is so happy as to get to heaven will have in God's presence "fullness of joy" and at His right hand "pleasures for evermore," but that does not say that they will all have joys and pleasures allure. A pint cup may be full to overflowing. A quart cup may be full to overflowing. But the quart cup holds more. The Bible makes it very plain that there will be differences among the redeemed. Some will be saved "so as by fire." It speaks of "greatest" and "least" in the kingdom of heaven, and of some as having an "abundant entrance," and distinctly tells us to "lay up for ourselves treasures in heaven," thereby assuring us that it is both possible and worth our while to do so.—Rev.

FACE ALL BROKEN OUT. Troubled Almost a Year - Complexion Now Perfect and Skin Soft, White and Velvety. "I had been troubled with a breaking out on my face and arms for almost a year and had the services of several physicians, but they didn't seem to do any good. Some time ago one of my friends recommended Cuticura to me. I secured some, and after using it several months I was completely cured. I can highly recommend Cuticura Soap as being the very best complexion soap made. It creates a perfect complexion, leaving the skin soft, white, and velvety.

Has Not Been Seen Since 1835, and Will Not Be Seen Again Till Latter Part of Twentieth Century. The most famous of all comets, though not the largest and most brilliant, will again be visible in 1910. This is Halley's comet, so called from its identification by the great astronomer who was the friend of Sir Isaac Newton. Halley's investigations of astronomical records led him to assert that the comet which he had observed in 1682 had appeared in 1531 and 1607, and to predict its reappearance in 1759. The fulfillment of his prophecy excited the most, intense scientific interest and established beyond doubt the periodicity of comets and their movements in orbits determined by the law of gravitation. Its last appearance was in 1835, its period varying between seventy-five and seventy-six years years on account of the perturbing attractions ed Jupiter and Saturn in certain parts of its orbit. It was by that time possible to calculate its movements with much greater accuracy than before that it made its perihelion passage within four days of the predicted date. It was not then a very grand object to the naked eye, but the light of its nucleus surpassed that of second magnitude stars and was comparable with that of Aldebaran and Antares. Its tall, while the comet was approaching the sun, attained to a length of 20 degrees. —Leslie's Weekly. The real work in plowing is done by the mule, but a man gets all the credit for it.

You CANNOT The "Favorite Prescription" is advised for the cure of one class of diseases—those peculiar weaknesses, urtirements and irregularities incident to woken up. It is a powerful yet gently acting invigorating tonic and nervine. For weak worm-out, over-worked women—no matter what has caused the break-down, "Favorite to the cure" will be fond more of in building up the nervous reeling of the womanly functions, subduing pain and bringing about a healthy, vigorous condition of the whole system. A book of particulars wraps each bottle giving the formulae of both medicines and quoting what scores of eminent medical authors, whose works are consulted by physicians of all the schools of practice as guides in prescribing, say of each ingredient entering into these medicines. The words of praisg bestowed on the several镇验edentals entering into Doctor Pleasure be written because they have more weight than any amount of non-professional testimoulials, because such men are writing for the guidance of their medical brethren and know whereof they speak. Both medicines are non-alcoholic, non-secret, and contain no harmful habit-forming drugs, being composed of glyceric extracts of the roots of native, American medicinal forest plants. They are both used for medicinal applications and afford to accept as a substitute for one of these medicines of known composition, any secret nostrum.

Let the officers reflect the worth of Masonry. As soon as your lodge elects its officers, send to the Grand Master at Atlanta and the Grand Secretary at Savannah the names of the W. M. and Secretary, with postoffice addresses of each one. Do this whether you have a blank or not. Past Master Wells of Eastern Light was the first officer to report to this office the election of officers with addresses. All honor to him. Past Master Willis of Durna Lodge comes next. We remember that Brother Willis was the first to render his Grand Lodge report. These brethren are to be commended for their promptness and all of the lodges should do likewise. There is no reason why these reports cannot all be rendered before January 1st. Do not wait for a blank, but send in your report anyhow. Bro. E. B. Cooper has been elected as W. M. of St. George Lodge at Stillmore. The members of St. George are to be commended for their selection, for Brother Cooper is a straight-forward citizen and a model Mason. He was in to see us on Tuesday. Worshipful Master Hubbard of Pelham reports his lodge as progressing excellently. Let every lodge in the jurisdiction observe St. John's day in some becoming manner. Pythogras Lodge, No. 11, has honored itself by re-electing Brother Petty as its Worshipful Master. Brother Petty is an energetic officer and has done much for the upbuilding of his lodge and the order. Pythogras is one of the best lodges in the state and has an excellent class of members, with Bro. F. M. Cohen as S. W.; Rev. S. P. Redd as J. W.; Bro. E. B. Roberts, Jr., as Secretary; Bro. J. H. Hoolser as Treasurer, and the other officers and members. The lodge will surely succeed. The ladies of the Eastern Star Chapter throughout the state are looking after their elections. They, too, must only elect the best material. The Eastern Star is making rapid strides. At nearly every large lodge where there is not a chapter one is being "worked" up. Grand High Priest Jesse Robinson of Macon has sent out a proclamation to each Royal Arch chapter in the state asking for hearty co-operation in the work of the chapter. Brother Robinson is the first Grand High Priest in the state and should be given hearty support. We are fully interested in the working of the Royal Arch and commend to the chapters the proclamation of the Grand High Priest and hope that the work during the year will grow to a great extent. 02 Tuesday night last Eureka Lodge, No. 1, gave the final series of entertainments for the purpose of raising means to help assist the widows during the holidays. The relief committee secured a neat sum, which will be fully applied to all deserving widows. This work of good cheer especially during the holidays is commended to each lodge in the jutsisdiction. There is glory in being a man, in all the true senses of manliness; glory in well exemplifying Masonic and Knightly manhood, and glory in so living that the epitaph must be: "He was a man—Great and Goods Loving God he greatly loved his Fellowmen." Wealth may flow in streams to such a man, yet he will, not swell with pride, nor scorn the humblest of his fellows. Honors may come unsought, titles unwished may be conferred by loving friends and brethren, but they will beget no vanity, and, when the insignia of office is laid aside there will not be manifest any of the spirit of eminent, or most eminent, superiority over him who has done his Masonic duty but has not received titles or jewels. The Man, in the true and noble sense, is what Freemasonry regards, and "Great and Good Man" is the highest honor and title that Freemasonry can bestow. From time immemorial the women have had to bear the odium of gossip and scandal: mongers. We wish the protest against this false accusation. If any one can and will defend the honor of home it is a woman, and it matters not whether that home or honor be her home or another's. The real character assassin is generally a man, and often he is too big a coward to do his dirty work openly and boldly, but with winks, nods, and inquiries thrusts the dagger deep into the unsuspected. It matters not whom they are, if they stand its way to petty persever, or so close position, or it may be the result of the promptings of a vile insult that cooses from him like the poison of the dismal swamp. Such men can be found in the church, in Masonry, in every walk of life. The teachings of an institution, however sacred, cannot change him. Like the hog he returns to his wallow and glories in his defilement. No, in that which is mean and dishonorable, man takes precedent over woman. STATESBORO DOTS.

FLORA BATSON DEAD Miss Flora Batson, known on the concert stage as the Queen of Song, died suddenly on Saturday, December 1, of urcuma. Although only about 35 years old, she had acquired considerable renown as a singer, not only in this country, but in Europe. When quite young she sang for Queen Victoria, who, with her own hands, presented her with a silk Union Jewel. Her Majesty, after the young girl had sung "The Last Rose of Summer," said; "My child, you are truly a graduate of that institution presided over by Almighty God and from which have no drone has ever issued. God bless you in your sweet mission of song." Miss Batson sang also for Pope Leo, the Czar of Russia and at the Italian and German courts. She was born in Washington, D. C. When a child her parents moved to Providence, R. I. At the age of nine she sang in a church choir in that city, and the marvelous range and quality of her voice soon attracted attention. Under the best teachers in this country she was prepared for the concert stage, which she followed with great success almost up to the day of her death. THE NEGRO IS NOT INFERIOR: Lanier, Ga., Dec. 8, 1906. Please allow me space in your wide-spread columns to say a word. Responding to the announcement of Mr. Goodwin's belief of the fore-ordination of the Negro being inferior, creation in the editorial column of The Tribune on December 14. If Mr Goodwin will read the tenth chapter and the 34th and 35th verses of the Acts of the Apostles, which reads thus: "Then Peter opened his mouth and sald, 'of a truth I percieve that God is no respector of persons; but in every nation he that feareth Him and worketh righteousness, is accepted with Him, the word which God sent unto the children of Israel preaching peace by Jesus Christ.'" (He is: Lord of all). Now, Mr. Editor, I suggest that another occupation would be more beneficial to Mr. Goodwin, and, of course, a man preaching the gospel of peace by Jesus Christ cannot afford to spend their time on such prattle trying to prove it true. If Mr. Goodwin would take a deeper consideration over the matter he would precede before these ministers, who he has asked to assist him in proving that God intentionally made the Negro an inferior being to any race, and instead ask them to assist him in proving out something more essential to eternal life or our earthly welfare trying to make peace with all mankind. I would like to say to Mr. Goodwin that the Bible is not only teaching us how to get to heaven, but one of the very fundamental principles of the Bible is intended to teach mankind how to live agrigably here on earth together. No individual is responsible for his being here and no race is responsible for their color. But we are all the handwork of God. Therefore, the Fatherhood of God exemplifies the brotherhood of man, and except we love one another as God has so intended as we would be done by we shall never be accepted with Him. Now, since God has formed us all of the dust of the earth and called us man, what else can we see but a man who is a man, regardless of color, and the Negro has shown in the past forty years that he can be taught and trained for any profession and pursuit in life. No other race has ever accomplished what the Negro has in the same length of time and under the same circumstances, with enemies' on every side trying to impede his progress. Yours for peace with all mankind, CHAS. H. STEWART. BULLET FATAL TO BROWN. Former Utah Senator, Who Was Shot by Mrs. Bradley, Succumbs to Wounds in Washington. Former United States Senator Arthur Brown of Utah, who was shot in his apartments in a hotel in Washington, December 8th, by Mrs. Anna M. Bradley of Salt Lake City, died at midnight Wednesday night at the Emergency hospital. Mrs. Bradley will now be arraigned on the charge of murder. Her attorneys will set up the defense that she was justified under the "unwritten law", in shooting Mr. Brown Mr Brown's life was prolonged for several hours by the injection of a salt solution, and by administering oxygen. Mr. Charles White, superintendent at the hospital, declared that the case was one of the most remarkable that had ever come under his observation. Death was due to complications brought on by kidney trouble and not to poison as a result of the wound. The shock of the bullet wound, however, had aggravated the affections of the kidneys until these organs refused to perform their functions. One of the assistant district attorneys made an effort to secure an ante-mortem statement, but Senator Brown refused to talk. Max Brown and Miss Alice Brown of Columbus, Ohio, the former's senator's son and daughter, were at the bedside when he expired. Mrs. Bradley is on the verge of collapse and her physicians say that it may be several days before she will be able to appear in court. She will be transferred from the house of detention to a cell in the district jail. The prisoner refused to pose for a photograph when the police photographer called at the house of detention. Mrs. Anna C Adams, mother of Maude Adams, the actress, was notified of Senator Brown's death by Dr. White. She will accompany the body to Salt Lake City. Mrs. Adams' name has been brought into the case in connection with letters which she wrote Brown, and which were found in the possession of Mrs. Bradley when she was arrested. The former senator's son says Mrs. Adams has long been a friend of the family. WAS INTRODUCED BY REQUEST. Moody Placates Democratic Senators. Nomination Confirmed. The senate, Wednesday, confirmed the nomination of William H. Moody of Massachusetts as justice of the supreme court of the United States. The democratic minority was lined up unitedly in objection to him, and the debate over his nomination occupied several hours. The opposition was not broken until a letter from Mr. Moody was read, in which he declared that the notorious lynching bill introduced by him while a member of the house in 1901, was introduced by request. JEROME IN A NEW ROLE. New York District Attorney Assists Police in Gambling Raid. Led by District Attorney Jerome, Wednesday night, the police raided an alleged gambling house in Elgheteenth street and arrested 144 men, who were charged with having refused to aid the police when a felony was being committed. The new tactics of the district attorney were a great surprise, not only to the prisoners, but also the lawyers and bondmen, who flocked to the station. CORPSES WERE TIED TOGETHER. Father and Little Son Went to Death in Flood Not Divided. With the body of his five-year-old boy firmly tied to his own, the remains of Charles Headrick were recovered Wednesday from the Hiawasse river, one and a half miles below McCoys, Tenn. Headrick and his boy were drowned on the night of November 18. A sudden flood caught them within a small house near the river bank, and escape was entirely cut off. NO FREAK SPELLING Will Be Allowed in Official Government Documents. HOUSE GOES ON RECORD By Decisive Vote of 142 to 25 Members Put Pet Hobby of Roosevelt Under Ban—Debate Mirth Provoking. A Washington special says: The house of representatives Wednesday went on record in opposition to the new spelling as recommended by the president. By a ovte of 142 to 25 the following was adopted as a substitute to the item reported by the appropriations committee on the legislative, executive judicial appropriation bill. "No money appropriated in this act shall be used in connection with printing documents, authorized by law or ordered by congress or either branch thereof unless the same shall conform to the orthography recognized and used generally in accepted dictionaries of the English language." For hours during the session the debate on simplified spelling held the attention of the house and a score or more members took part in the discussion. Representative Crumpacker of Indiana, made a point of order against the original paragraph in the bill which provided that public documents should be spelled as Webster's or other generally accepted dictionaries spells them. Representative Bingham of Pennsylvania, in charge of the bill, then offered the amendment, which was adopted. During the discussion Mr. Suillyan of Massachusetts remarked that if the president, by "imperial ukase," could change the spelling of 200 words of the English language he would have the authority to change 30,000 words, or every word in our language. If this could be done, he thought a new court language might be established by executive decree for the American empire. "We got along very well with the English language until the reign of the present president of the United States," said Mr. Sullivan. Mr. Crumpacker of Indiana said the house was not responsible for an order of the executive on the question of simplified spelling. He was of the opinion that legislation would retard progress and reform in spelling. Mr. Lacey of Iowa asked Mr. Crumpacker if the thought the public printer would have the discretion to spell the word 'Crumpacker" with a "K." and Mr. Crumpacker replied that he thought he would. Representative Grosvenor of Ohio wanted to know what existing law the paragraph changed, and insisted that there was no law as to spelling except as to the commonly accepted way. While Mr. Grosvenor was discussing the amendment, Mr Towne of New York asked him whether the item referred to was not "on page 23, beginning with the line 23?" "Yes, I believe so," replied Mr. Grosvenor. "Then, is that not a double skidoo, and if so, does it not of necessity go out?" "Oh, that's an old story!" replied Mr. Grosvenor, amid laughter. The great confusion resulting from the government's double standard of spelling has made it necessary for the joint committee on printing to take immediate action, and Senator Platt and Representative Landis of the committee are at work on a resolution designed to strengthen the tangle at once. Even if the house and senate both pass the legislative bill, with a clause declaring for old fashioned spelling, the measure will not become effective until the beginning of the new year and meantime there would be no well defined policy as to spelling. WILL IT EVER BE PAID? Sugar Refining and Cooperage Companies Fined $150,000 for Rebating. Flies aggregating $150,000 were imposed by Judge Holt in the United States circuit court in New York Tuesday upon the American Sugar Refining company and the Brooklyn Cooperage company, after the defendants had pleaded guilty to indictments charging acceptance of rebates on sugar shipments. The sugar refining company was fined $80,000 and the cooperage company $70,000. GUILTY PARTIES NOT LOCATED. Macon Grand Jury Reports on Jall Storming and Street Car Strike.
