VOL. XXII. Seismic Jar Wrecker Portion of City and Fire Quickly Followed—People of Island in a Panic. Details Meagre. Kingston, the picturesque capital of the island of Jamaica, has been devastated by a violent earthquake. Details of the disaster are lacking, as direct communication with the stricken city has been cut off. The land lines had been reconstructed to within 5 miles of Kingston Tuesday evening, and from meagre reports received through such channels as were open, it has been learned that many of the most important buildings have been destroyed and there has been serious loss of life. So far as the reports indicate, the fatalities number less than one hundred, though the hospitals are filled with injured and the list of victims may be materially increased. Kingston, and the other points of interest of the island, are at this season of the year, thronged with tourists from both America and England and the greatest apprehension is felt for the safety of the many persons who had recently arrived at the Jamaican resort. The first great shock was felt about 3:30 o'clock Monday afternoon and as in the San Francisco and Valparaiso disasters, flames immediately sprang from the wreckage to carry on the work of destruction. Tuesday afternoon the fire was still burning, although it was somewhat under control. The Myrtle Bank hotel, the principal hotel at Kingston, which probably sheltered the great bulk of visitors on the island, is reported destroyed. The great military hospital was burned and forty soldiers are reported dead. Sir James Fergusson is said to have been instantly killed, but according to London reports, no other Englishman, Canadian or American is believed to be missing. Kingston already bears the scars of a number of disastrous visitations of fire, earthquake and cyclone in years gone by, and the extent of Monday's disaster is still left largely to the imagination. The city is one of low-lying buildings, clustered along the shores of one of the finest and most securely land-locked harbors in the West Indies. The population, which numbers 50,000, is largely made up of native blacks. Many steamers carrying tourists to Jamaica were en route to the island when the earthquake occurred, but it so happened that, according to schedules, none of the ships from New York or Boston was in Kingston harbor Monday. It would appear that the first reports that the city had been "destroyed" were exaggerated. Secretary of the Navy Metcalf has sent a cablegram to Admiral Evans, in command of the United States fleet, off Guantanamo, Cuba, requesting him to investigate the extent of the earthquake disaster and report to the department. Admiral Evans is authorized, if necessary, to proceed to Kingston, which is about a twelve-hour trip from Guantanamo. STEAMER BRUNSWICK RETURNS. Initial Trip to Cuba Filled Passengers With Enthusiasm. The fine new steamer Brunswick reached port of Brunswick Tuesday on its return from Cuba, and all of the passengers who made the trip to the tropic island are enthusiastic in praise of the voyage, the vessel and the courtey of the management. ON TRAIL OF BAILEY. Texas Senate Demands Papers in the Charges Against Senator. In the Texas senate Wednesday a resolution was adopted calling on the attorney general for any papers he had in connection with charges against Senator Bailey's alleged connection with the Waters-Pierce Oil company. An amendment was added providing that all such papers should be exhibited only in executive session. This action will preclude newspaper men and others form examining them. Should Be Exploited to the Limit' and Move Made for Higher Prices, Says Editor Richard Edmunds. In discussing the south's monopoly of cotton production and why higher prices for cotton should prevail, Mr. Richard H. Edmonds, editor of the Manufacturers' Record of Baltimore, who was in Birmingham, Ala., to attend the Southern Cotton Convention said: "Cotton is the most remarkable agricultural product known to mankind. Destroy wheat and a substitute can be found; destroy corn and other grains would take its place. Destroy cotton and you would shake the foundation of civilization itself. The advance of civilization throughout the earth is measured by the consumption of cotton. It has been well said that the missionary of the gospel as he penetrates the wilds of Africa is an advance agent for the south's imperial staple. This crop is the most wonderful ever given by a beneficent Creator to any people. It ramifies every financial and business center of civilization. This royal product is as necessary in the palace of the king as in the hut of the peasant; on the tented battlefield and in the hospital it is alike essential. It is the one great power in our foreign commerce, which turns the balance of trade in our favor. It is not a sectional crop, not even a national crop, it is a world crop, for it belongs to the world and wherever on earth men do business the south's cotton crop must of necessity command thoughtful attention. It is the most important factor in our international relations. "Without our cotton, Europe's in dustrial life would be almost ruined. Probably $2,000,000,000 is invested in the cotton mills and allied industries in Europe and in Great Britain alone over 10,000,000 people alone are dependent upon the cotton trade. "The cotton crop for which the south receives $600,000,000 a year is worth over $2,600,000,000 before it reaches the consumers in the shape, of cotton goods. For many years Europe paid us from $2,200,000,000 to $250,000,000 a; year for the cotton which under the better prices prevailing during the last three or four years now brings annually to the south $400,000,000 or more. "No wonder the financial powers of Europe are to beat down the price of cotton to save themselves the $150,000,000 to $200,000,000 a year excess over what they paid us during the days of starvation prices. So rapidly is the world's consumption increasing that within the last twelve months Manchester in England has added 6,000,000 spindles to its equipment, thus increasing the number of its spindles in one year two-thirds as much as the total number in the south. This increasing consumption will necessitate in the next ten years a crop of at least 17,000,000 to 18,000,000 bales in the south. Consumption is gaining at the rate of 500,000 bales a year and without any more rapid increase this would in ten years add 5,000,000 bales required by the world's needs to the 12,500,000 bales of American cotton now consumed. But, in considering this gain, it must be borne in mind that the whole world has entered upon a period of expansion in trade, in commerce, in higher wages, and therefore more and better clothing, and in the creating of wealth, such as men never saw before." USING FURNITURE FOR FUEL. People of Seattle Caught By a Cold Wave and No Coal. Seattle, Wash., is suffering severely from a cold wave. In many homes furniture was chopped up for fuel and old antiques which had been saved up from grandmothers' days went under the ax. Coal and wood are almost unobtainable. Florida Postmasters Named The president sent to the senate on Tuesday the following nominations of Florida: F. M. Taylor, Titsville; M.B. Bishop, Eustis; E. N. Bradley, Green Cove Springs; G. E. Koons, Palmetto STRIKE OF TELEPHONE GIRLS Gets Into Court at Memphis in Shape of Injunction Proceedings. Judge McGall of the federal court at Memphis, Tenn., Wednesday afternoon said he would take under advisement the petition of the Cumberland Telephone and Telegraph company, asking for a permanent injunction, restraining all individuals from congregating about the telephone headquarters. It is charged by the company that irresponsible boys and men have attempted to intimidate employees of the company who took the positions vacated by the strikers. SAVANNAH. GA... SATURDAY. JANUARY 19. 1907. Is Report in Later Dispatches from Stricken Kingston. OVER 90,000 HOMELESS Ghastly Scenes Presented While Black Ghouls Loot Rulns—Property Destruction in City Will Reach $10,000,000. Reports received Wednesday In St. Thomas, Danish West Indies, from Jamaica, say it is estimated that one thousand persons have been killed by the earthquake and fire and that ninety thousand persons are homeless. The damage to Kingston alone is placed at fully $10,000,000. The negroes are looting and ghastly scenes are being witnessed. The misery is indescribable. Very few messages, and these meager and slacking in detail, were received direct from Jamalca, Wednesday, to give additional information of the devastation and death wrought by the earthquake that ravaged Kinston on Monday afternoon. Such intelligence as has come through, however, shows the situation to be apparently more serious than was outlined in the first reports received. A large majority of the fifty thousand population of Kingston are black and it is probable that the majority of the casualties were among these people. It is reported that about two score of black soldiers were burned to death in a military hospital near the city. Looting and disorder, including raids on rum shops by the blacks, followed the catastrophe, but prompt repressive measures restored order. Panic prevails, however, especially as the earth shocks continued Tuesday and Wednesday and great numbers of the city's population have fled to the neighboring country side. Food supplies are beginning to be urgently needed and the demand on medical supplies has exhausted the stock on hand. The fires that followed the disaster, it was reported, were confined to that section of the city bordering on the water front. The flames were supposed to have been checked, but a later dispatch indicates that they may have again broken out. The navy department has sent the battleships Missouri and Indiana from Guantanamo, Cuba, to Kingston, to render all the aid possible. Any reliable estimate of the property damage is impossible. It is reported the business section is in ruins and that a large bank building and a big hotel have been destroyed, while other messages say that almost the whole of the houses of the Jamaican capital have been destroyed and those in a radius of ten miles damaged. The very much more serious aspect of the situation given by the messages received from Jamaica itself have not been confirmed by official reports. Some of the messages emanating from Jamaica are without date and it is thus impossible to tell,whether they refer to the panic of the first hours, and give exaggerated reports of casualties, or are sent at a time when calm prevailed and actual estimates of the situation have been made. CASH FOR FORTIFICATIONS. Appropriation Bill Carrying $5,411,883 Passed in House. The house Wednesday passed the fortifications appropriation bill. No amendment of any kind or nature was made changing any of the amounts carried in the budget. The measure carries $5,411,883, which is $357,800 more than was appropriated for the same purposes at the last session of congress. Texas Town Hard Hit by Fire. Fire Wednesday destroyed seventeen business houses at Beeville, Texas, entailing estimated losses aggregating $50,000. CORTELYOU AND GARFIELD Given Favorable Report by Senate Nominations Committee. The Senate committee on finance Tuesday agreed to report the nominations of Postmaster General Corteyloy to be secretary of the treasury, and James R. Garfield, commissioner of corporations, to be secretary of the interior. The vote on both Mr. Corteyloy and Mr. Garfield was unanimous. The committee also recommended the confirmation of Arthur Stater of Washington to be assistant secretary of the treasury. Uncle Sam Takes Instant Measures for Relief of Quake and Fire Suf- Official news of the disaster at Kingston, Jamalca, reached Washington slowly Wednesday. The first report did not come to hand until well along in the afternoon, when a dispatch was received at the state department, dated: "Jamalca, 3:31 p. m., January 16," and signed "American Consul," stating that Kingston had been destroyed and hundreds of lives lost and that food was badly wanted. The signature to this dispatch was misleading, for the consul is absent on leave from his post. It was assumed at the department that the vice and deputy consul, William H. Orrett, at Kingston, had sent the dispatch. A reference in the cablegram to the fireproof safe is understood to convey assurance of the safety of the consular records and papers. However, the dispatch was regarded as warranting the taking of instant measures of relief. Infused, the navy department had been in advance in this matter, for through Captain Beehler, the officer in charge of the naval station at Key West, wireless communication was early established between the navy department and Admiral Evans, commanding the Atlantic fleet at Guantanamo, Cuba, and when Secretary Root later indicated the desirability of sending warships at once to the distressed island. It turned, out that Admiral Evans had anticipated instructions and had started on a torpedo boat destroyer, the swiftest vessel in the American fleet, for Kingston, ordering two battleships to follow as soon as they could. The appeal for food supplies directed attention to the fact that under ordinary conditions none of the government supplies could be used for outside relief save by special authority of congress. That fact, however, did not prevent Secretary Metcalf from ordering two supply ships with full cargoes of food at once to Jamaica, leaving for later decision the question as to how the supplies are to be given to the needy inhabitants. RECEIVER NAMED FOR COLONY. Court Takes Charge of Philander Fitzgerald's Affaire in Georgia. A special from Indianapolis says: Geo. F. Mull, a local attorney, has been appointed receiver for Philander H. Fitzgerald's "1904 Georgia Colony Company," upon the petition of several stockholders in the enterprise, who charged that Fitzgerald had not kept good faith with them. Fitzgerald was recently indicted by the federal grand jury on a charge of using the United States mail to defraud in connection with the promotion of this colony scheme. The colony is located in Georgia, and is known as St. George, and comprises 3,000 acres of land. The petition for a receiver told in detail of Fitzgerald's plan to form a colony in Georgia, and to give valuable pieces of property to all his stockholders, the size and quality of the land depending upon amount of stock subscribed. In this way, the plaintiffs say, the $700,000 came to Fitzgerald, and that only $20,000 was spent in improving the property. The petitioners declare that the remainder of the money Fitzgerald has in his possession, and that he is guilty of fraud and misrepresentation. Besides asking for a receiver and judgment against Fitzgerald, the plaintiffs ask that Fitzgerald be restrained from leaving the state until the case is settled. Boiler of Engine Lets Loose and Five Lose Life. The boiler of a Philadelphia and Reading freight engine exploded at Bridgeport, Pa., Wednesday, killing five traintmen. All of the killed resided at Allentown. The engineer of the train, J. D. Blank, escaped. LET PRESENT LAW STAND Is Request of Hebrews Anent Statute on Immigration. Features of national interest marked the opening session in Atlanta Tuesday morning of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations. Most striking of these was a resolution introduced by Simon Wolf to the following effect: "That a message be sent to Speaker Cannca of the house of representatives, urging in the name of the union, that no changes be made in the present United States laws on immigration." On Brownsville Affray Sent Congress by Roosevelt: STICKS TO CONTENTION Along With the Message He Sehds Evidence of Gulit of Colored Troops in Shape of Bullets, Empty Shells, Etc. President Roosevelt Monday sent to congress a special message regarding the Brownsville incident, which gives the additional vidence collected by Assistant Attorney General Purdy and Major Blocksom, who were sent to Texas by the president to investigate the affair. The report submitted with his message, including maps of Brownsville and Fort Brown, a bandoleer. 23 empty shells, seven ball cartridges, picked up in the streets a few hours after the shooting; three steel jacketed bullets and some scraps of the casings of other bullets picked out of the houses into which they had been fired. The president declares that the evidence is positive that the outrage of August was committed by some of the colored troops that have been dismissed and that some or all of the individuals of the three companies the twenty-fifth infantry had knowledge of the deed and have shielded the guilty ones. The negro troops are referred to by the president in his message as "midnight-assassins," and he declares that very few, if any, of the soldiers dismissed "without honor" could have been ignorant of what occurred. That part of the order which bars the soldier from all civil employment under the government is revoked by the president. This clause, the president says, was lacking validity. The discharged troopers, however, will be forever barred from enlisting in the army or navy and as to this the president says that "there is no doubt of my constitutional and legal power." Secretary Taft's report giving the sworn testimony of witnesses is transmitted with the message. The testimony of fourteen eye witnesses is given and the president declares that the evidence is conclusive that the weapons used were Springfield rifles now used by United States troops, including the negro troops who were in the garrison at Brownsville. Taking but a brief time to pass the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill, carrying nearly $31,000,000, the senate devoted the remainder of the day to the Brownsville atray. The president's message was read and ordered printed. The speech-making on the subject began and continued until 5:30 o'clock, Mr. Foraker saying he was not going to make a speech, "but a few remarks," observed that the testimony amounts to a great deal, "for the president tells us it is concursive." "But it does not remove the objection I have had from the beginning of the proceedings. What I have been trying to contend for, and I hope I will be successful, is to secure a hearing for the men charged with this serious crime. This testimony has been taken as the other was, behind closed doors, without anybody representing the men. Stating that he did not agree with the president in all he has done in this case, Mr. Mallory of Florida digressed to call attention to what he regarded as the best illustration that could be given of the incompetency of the negro to grapple with great questions. His illustration was the criticism of the president by a negro mass meeting at Boston. A negro, he said, held the most lucrative federal office in Florida, as collector of internal revenue; the collector of customs at Savannah, Ga., was a negro, and the collector of internal revenue of the state of Georgia was a negro, and everyone knew the fight which the senate had made against Crum, a negro, made collector of the port at Charleston. "But," added Mr. Mallory, "the patriots of Boston, who probably are the best representatives of the negro race in this country, allow themselves to be carried away by the passion of the moment, unable to look fairly and squarely at a proposition which should be judged justly and honestly, forget that they are under great obligations to the president, and send forth a denunciation of the best friend they have ever had in office." William Oliver-of Knoxville and Anthony Bangs of New York City Offers Lowest Proposals. When the bids for the construction of the Panama canal were opened by the commission at Washington Saturday it was found that the lowest was that of William J. Oliver, of Knoxville, Tenn., and Anthony M. Bangs, of No. 4 Nassau street, New York, at. 6.75 per cent of the total estimated cost. George Pierce and Company of Frankfort, Germany, and New York City, constructors of the East River tunnel in New York, were second at 7.19 per cent; the MacArthur-Gillisple Company, composed of leading New York financiers and contractors, was third at 12.12 per cent, and the fourth and last bidder was the North American Dredging Company of San Francisco, the largest contracting firm on the Pacific, at 28 per cent. Under the form and contract on which bids were received the canal contractor undertakes to do the dredging, clearing and excavating at the ends of the canal to deep water; to construct the Gatan dam and the dam or dams to be built on the Pacific end and all locks and regulating works wherever located. The commission will furnish all locomotives, cars, steam shovels and other machinery of heavy character, but the contractor must furnish all hand tools. The proposals were as low as had been expected by experts on construction work. For some time, it has been known that several members of the commission believed 7 per cent upon the estimated cost of the construction would be a fair remuneration under the form of contract prepared by the commission. The lowest proposal, that of Oliver and Bangs, falls even lower than had been expected. Granting that the estimate of $140,000,000 for the construction of the canal which has been frequently spoken of in congress is accurate, the remuneration of the Oliver-Bangs combination would be $9,450,000 in case it was to be awarded the contract. Much discussion has been caused by the great difference in the only four bids received as they ranged from 6.75 to 28 per cent William J. Oliver and Aunon M. Bangs have both been in the contracting business for many years and statements they furnished with their pro-unch important work. Mr. Oliver posals show that they have done states that he has completed $18,100,000 worth of work in the past ten years, and now has $31,500,000 worth of work in progress. He gives his assets at $3,040,000. Mr. Bangs gives his assets at $2,000,000, and states that he was the contractor for the Soo lock at Sault Ste Marie, Mich., Delaware breakwater and Buffalo breakwater, the contract price for each of these being $2,500,000. The actual work of constructing the canal is to begin sixty days after signing the contract, and the contractor will take over all employees on the isthmus which the commission does not wish to retain. It is also provided that no American employee is to work more than eight hours. There is no time limit for the completion of the canal in the contract. The percentage system of payment was adopted because this method is being employed increasingly by the most successful corporations in the country. James Duncan, colored, one of the members of Company D, Twenty-Fifth Infantry, discharged without honor at El Reno, applied at the recruiting office in El Paso, Texas, Sunday for enlistment, but was rejected under the orders of the president. A tidal wave has devastated Rome of the Dutch East Indian islands south of Alchin. The loss is very great. According to a brief official dispatch three hundred persons perished on the island of Taman. RINGLEADERS OF RIOT SHOT. Mexican Government Makes Example of Trouble Instigators. Late advices from the Orizaba strike district in Mexico are to the effect that 5,562 of the 7,085 men which were out have now returned to work. Although everything is quiet at present, swift punishment was inflicted by the government upon the men who were the leaders in the late rioting. The ringleaders were shot in the sight of hundreds of eye-witnesses. The government is determined to make examples of these men in order to deter others. pad, Gast ae SYS CS ES ae A ee fF ae Dy Batata fo a ep ae ee LS FH BESSY.» TETRIS ES, AS it Soe Ee EBA t SES és ‘aa RS oe ees SAPS one Minny Nae oe PU ae oa Beer ee tele RNS i EE See St ES eh |” . = Minin 3 YE ee a Bat ie Be oe PCG ge ee eS eg hae ceraniey Ee ree ae ey et ana: es mes > eer TKS = x ae < — Em = 5 . aE a ss = ee , “3 .

LE Williams, P. Edward Perry. Walter 8. Scott. | Bel ©. Johnson. GOVERNOR ANSEL INAUGURATED New Chief Executive of Palmettc State Takes Oath of Office. Martin F. Ansel was inaugurated governor of South Carolina at Colum bia Tuesday in the presence of a large audience, gathered from every section of the state, -. The'inauguration of Governor Ansel marks a new era in the history of Seuth Carolina politics, in that he is the first chief executive in fifteen years who has essayed to oppose the state dispensary system, which was enacted fifteen years ago under the Jeadership of Governor Ben R. Till man, which has since been the leading issve in state politics, Governor ANsel was clected on an anti-dispensary platform, which car- Ties with it the abolition of the state dispensary system, leavivng the ques: tion to the counties to decide for them- Relves as between county dispensaries and prohibition. In his inangural address Governor Ansel,-in no uncertain terms, recom- mended the abolishment of the pres. ent liquor system, which, under state control, has grown to be a $4,000,000 business, 4 Whether or not ‘the dispetsary will he abolished depends upon the action of the general assembly now in ses- sion. In the house there {s an admit- ted majority in favor of its extinction, while in the selate both sides are claiming 2 majority. Among other recommendations of ihe new governor are the abolishment of bucket shops, a systeln of rural po- lice; liberal approptiations for the public schools; more €rastic puvish- ment for crimital assault upon women and liberal support of the department of immigration. A pathetic feature of the inaugura- tion was when the newly elected ad- jutant general, Colonel J. C. Boyd, came into the hall on crutches, aided Ly friends, to take the oath of office. Colonel Boyd is a cc@iederate soldier and was stricken with paralysis only a few. days ago, it being feared that he would be unable to assume office.

' & fad ARREST OF MUGGSY So it happened that Muggsy, anc Mary Ann, the waitress, became en: gaged." Mugssy wes to borrow some imoney from a friend, and get a job, and be married. 2 Now, it is hard for a burglarions Joafer to get a job. It is harder still for‘ him to borrow money. But after five days of tramping the streets and visiting mills and factorles and’strik- ing old friends intermittently for pe- cunlary ald, he obtaiued the promise of work in a foundry, to begin the following Monday,and a former “‘pal" Jent him $10 to begin housekeeping with. | So he was to be married on Sunday. It was Saturday night. and Mary ‘Ann’s fiance was strolling through the streets, restless and happy. To- morrow he would be married. It + seemed {mpossible. and yet there could be no doubt of it. Muggsy found himself staring va- cantly into a sho window. The shop ‘was closed, for it was late, and lights in the window were dim. ‘There were three gilded balls over the door. Then Mugssy’s gaze fell upon a tray of rings in the window, and he started. The awful truth flashed upon him. When people get married they use weddings rings! And he had for- gotten the ring. He took only one ring; once he would have taken the whole tray. He ‘was triumphant, but he was in dan- ger. He ran quickly down the street to a passageway he knew of leading to an alley and thence to another street, where he would be safe. But suddenly a blue uniform loomed up, and an excited voice or- dered the fusitive to stop. A pistol shot added force to the command, Muggsy was frightened. He darted into the passageway, the patrolman after him in full chase. A fence had been built there since last he came that way, and he was cornered. ‘Muggsy was a man of peace. The game was up, ani he surrengered. ‘When the turnkey searched him at the police station he stili had the ring. It went into an enyclope marked “Exhibit 4.” There was a big docket in police court on Monday morning. An end- less line of “drunks” shufffed out of the reeking “bull pen” and stood, nervously expectant, before _ the bench, Where the magnaimous Judge O'Rourke dispensed fines and impris- onment for the protection of society. “Well, well!" ejaculated His Honor, with a broad grin. ‘Not very cheerful this morning, Muggsy. What is it now, Mooney?” “Burglacy and larceny, Your Honor —at ‘is old tricks—smashed a jew- elry window an” copped a ring—a ‘weddin’ ring, too.”* The court officer smiled indulgently, and the prosecut- ing attornoy inspected tho ring, while the clerk read the affidavit and the spectators craned forward with in- terest—for the prisoner had many acquaintances present. ‘The proof was too easy. The pros- ecutor yawned, and held up the ring for the inspection of the court. “Why didn’t you take the rest?” he asked. “This ain't worth much, and thero was a whole trayful.” "I didn’t need any more,” mut- téred Mugesy. “Didn't need any mort?” repeated the prosecutor, while the court at- taches and police reporters showed signs of interest. “Then you con- fess to thes theft?” he shrewdly added. ay “Naw, I don't confess not'in’.” - . “Needed a wedding ring, did you, Muggsy?" queried His Honor, with 2 am'le that Ilt up the courtroom. “Me? Naw.” “That reminds me,” remarked Lieutenant O'Hara. “We found a ‘marriage license in his, clothes—Ex- hibit B over there, It’s got his name on, too, only he says it’s for a cousin _ as has the same name as he has, an’ was to be niarried yesterday. I won- der—” and while he was wondering, alight suffused his massive face. “No such weddin’ fn the sasstety colyums,” yolunteered Mooney. “Why, what you blushin’ about, Muggsy?” iat go to the devil,” growled “Mugzgsy, who, now the centre vf all eyes, was really blushing for proba- bly the first time in his fe. _ . Meanwhile a reporter was Inspect- ane the marriage license. He wae o ‘a | ee eee ee we ERE Judge. _ The judge handed the lcenso to the court officer. “Is Mary Ann Evans here pres- ent?” roared Mooney. © : Muggsy jerked himself erect, his square Jaw set, his eyes flashing and his fists clenched. o ‘Stop that, Mr. Officer!” he cried. “I don't want that there name men- tloned in this —— p'lice court!” the prisoner gasped. The judge's bland smile had con- sealed. The reporter critically poised his stogie andemitted a low, thought: ful whistle. , Then the spell was broken by a commotion beyond the railing among the “spectators, and a little figure with: carréty hair and freckled face almost hidden beneath a:faded shawl darted past the officer at the gate and stepped to the judge's bench. A young Iad about to follow her was denied admittance. ‘Muggsy was abashed. His figure lumped back to its normal posture, and again hé gazed at the floor. “P-nlease, sir, I'm here,” faltered the figure under the shawl, while a pair of greenish-yellow eyes roved back and forth between judge and prisoner. “Are you Mary Ann Evans?” asked His Honor. "Yeyes, sir And I came here this mornin’ because Jimmy—that’s my brother — seen ‘in the paper that Muggsy was arrested, an’ he said they'd try him this mornin’, An’ I thought mebbe I could—do sumpin’ —ter ‘im.”” Further elucidation was interrupted by the necessity for stop- ping a flow of tears with one cofner of her shawl. i “Is it this man, or his cousin, that you were going to marry?” asked the judge. Mary Ann checked an impulse to answer, and looked to the prisoner for guidance. Muggsy’s eyes slowly rose from the floor, met hers, and read their honest appeal. That look shamed the duplicity out of him. He stepped nearer the judge, while the Uttle group narrowed around the afflanced pair, and he addressed the judge in a voice firm, but low, so that ‘the curiosity-mongersbeyond the rail- ing could not hear: : “1 tell yo the truth, yer Honor,” he said, “an’ it'll be the first time I ever told it to ye. I Ned w'en I said the license wes fer me cousin, an’ I Hed about breakin’ the windy by ac- cident. This little girl had promised to marry me, yer Honor, an’ the weddin' was to ‘a’ been yesterday. An’ w'en I happened to think how I didn't have no ring, an’ how I need- ed one, and didn’t have no money to buy one, nor not'in’, w'y I don’t know how it was, yer Honor,, but I just couldn't help fergittin’ I'd reformed, an’ gittin’ a ring the best way I could. An’ now I s'pose I got to so to the works again, an’ I don’t care much, fer I don’t spose Mary Ann'll have anything to do with me now— fer she's a decent, respectable girl, yer Honor, an’ not like me. Only I don’t know what she'll do, on ac- count of bein’ out of a job, an’ no- body to take care of her. But it’s all up now, an’ you might as well give me the sentence right away, yer Honor, fer there can't be no wed- din‘, an’ my job's lost, an’ it’s no use, I guess, tryin’ to be decent.” “Well, in view of the circam- stances, I won't make it solong as I otherwise would,” began the Judge, as he resumed his judicial air, “It wil be——" But the reportorial face had sud- denly approached His Honors ear, and there was a quiet little confer- ence, in which the prosecutor pres: ently Joined. “It will be—ahem!"—resumed His Honor, when the heads separated —"three months and costs.” He paused, impressively, “And, in view of certain extenuating circumstances —the workhouse sentence fs suspend- ed during good behavior, and the fine to be paid at the convenience of the prisoner,” Mugssy stared stupldly. “Go on!” said Mooney, nudging him good naturedly. “No, not that way,” as the prisoner started back toward the “bull pen.” “Out here, with your girl. You're free, as long as you behave yourself. See?”— New Orleans Picayune. A Philadelphia business man, dur- |gng the fine weather a few weeks ago, decided to make a horseback tour of Maryland. After belng out for a few days he was struck with .the number of towns in that State which had claim to historfe interest. The principal brag of the various villages through which he passed was that Washington at ono time or, another had been a guest of the leading clti- zen, or that the first President had spent tho night at the local tavern: The claims of the Marvlanders be- came so monotonous to the Phila- delphian that when one <cening, af- ter a long day's ride, he was about to Faismount from his weary horse,” he noticed opposite the hotel that he had pickéd out an ornate bronze tab- let, with the name “President Wash- ington,” in big, talsed letters on it, he was moved to ridicule. Turping to the pmprietor, who was starmng ear the curbstone, he said: “You Maryland people make me tired with Your everlasting claim to have been visited by Washington. Why, every town I have been in lately was once his home.” With a quiet smile, the hotel man tuld his prospective patron to read the inscription on the tablet which, much tothe visitor’s atton ishment, was: “This is the only towk in Maryland that President’ Wash- ington never yisited.”—Philadelphia Sanne. a Earthquake Depicted. PRESIDENT JORDAN, ‘OF STANFORD a \ GIVES THE CLEAREST VIEW. Rising as They Were Distisbs2. Sesesesesesesesesesesesese Dr. David Starr Jordan, president of Leland Stanford, Jr., University, lectured at Swarthmore College on the subjects “The Earthquake Rift of California,” Dr. Jordan enumerated the causes of the great earthquake -and described his own experiences during the shock. The lecture was illustrated, show- ing, among other things, views of the destruction of bulldings at Stanford, ‘The speaker said, in part: 7 It {s a wise provision of nature, so Goethe tells us, that trees shall not grow up into the sky. The wisdom of this arrangement is obvious, and it is clear that its spirit applies to marty other things than trees. It is also obvious that, in order to point the moral property, theré should be some part of the earth In which the limit is off. To that end California was created. In California the trees do actually grow up into the sky. It was in California that the Slerra Avalanche, according to Bret Harte (referring to the March figods on the Sacramento) observed, with pensive local pride, “An area as large as the State of Massachusetts,under water.” So it 1s proper that in California the most vigorous earthquake of its class should be recorded. that the most de- structive conflagration in history should take place; that the greatest wreck of human effort should occur —and all that in a region in which, more than in any other, human effort fs a Joy in Itself. It Is Also characteristic of Califor- nia that the people should not look on the disaster of the fire, nor on. the sickening loss of half a century of struggle and upbuilding. They note rather that no great wooden city be- fore ever went for half a century without a conflagration. In the vis- jon of every Californian San Fran- cisco is not the old city, sitting deso- Jate on its bones, but rather the new city of steel and concrete, which shall defy shock and fire alike. A Crack Four Miles Deep. As for the earthquake of April 1, the first question fs, naturally: What was it? It was a crack in the earth's crust about 200 -miles long and four or five miles deep; or as deep as the crust is stiff and brittle. More exact- Jy, it was the suddem opening and closing of an old crack, or, in geologl- cal language, a fault. The cause was, primarily; the slow shrinking of the earth, by which atl mountain chains, with their accom- panying folds and faults, are formed. Secondarily, the cause was a cer- tain strain on the mountain chain on one side of the fault. ‘This strain was doubtless slowly cumulative. It was resisted for years, until finally, for some cause or for no cause, the rocks gave way. The old sear was reopened for an instant, the strain was repressed and the two sides of tho fault came tosether with grinding strain, which reduced the rocks on either side of it to dust and fragments for perhaps a hundred feet. In this case the two sides no longer fitted perfectly. The west side of the fault-was left some three. fect lower in the Santa Cruz region, and as much fisher in Marin County. AN this was the earthquake pro- per, and it was practically instanta- neous. But the giant, having stretched himself in his sleep, the creaking of his bones went forth to the rest of the worl. In this case the disturbance went out as short, swift and violent waves in the rocks, and in the soil and houses which ‘were over them, First to any given point went the straight waves from the nearest part of the fault. Such waves are interesting and mostly harmless, however severe, and of such waves ulone most Califoraia earthquakes are formed. Later, but on the instant, came waves from points fhrther and farther away. Taese came at an angle wita the first waves, and at a broader angle with each other. Some of them would partly neutralize others; some would reinforce others and at a different an- gle * ) . Everything Was Wavy, The result when the waves from below and the waves from various. The result when the waves from below and the waves from various distances were recelved was a series of twisting motions of great violence and of every conceivable kind. ‘They were of such Intense awe ness that the ground made a daze be- tore the eyes. They wero of such extraordinary variety that all things which an earthquake could throw were tossed in every direction. Jars standing side by side wontd be thrown in opposite. directions, or not thrown at all. Trees‘ would bend to the ground as under a high gale, Dut no two in the same dirdetion at once. The top of a spire. of chimney would be thrown in one direction, the middle in anotifer. In one case, a house undulated so swiftly that the bricks of a falling chimney struck against the clapboards of its side as they fell. The waves were the earthquake in the minds of;those who felt. them. ‘They are so in common lenguase, and as such, gradually fading away, they were felt in the seismographs all over the yofld.- Some who saw the fault merveled that the violence of the earthquake could crack a pasture field for a mile. But this crack was the real earthquake, and the waves ‘were merely the jar carried from it Se eee en ie ea Se billowing above the surface, and not disturbing the face of nature at all. but yiciously destructive to some of the little works of man. This earthquake had no relation with volcanoes, no connection with Mount Vesuvius, It has nothing in common with the erplosions of steam which mark eruptive earthquakes. Like ninety-five per cent, of all re- corded earthquakes, it is tectontc— thats, an adjustment of the earth's crust. My experiences in the earthquake were tame, but they were my'own. I was awakened at 5.13 on the bright, sunny morning of April 18. I knew and enjoyed the wheezy undulations of the house, which mark tho usual harmless Callfornia earthquake. ~The wave which woke me was gen- tle enough, but the next one, like the bump of an express train, seemed a Uttle severe. But it was a straight wave, and harmed nothing. When the Real Thing Came. Then the temblor began to take hold. The bedroom on the second floor swayed Ilke a: ship in a hurrl- cane. A lantern standing in the hall leaped in through the open door. Pic- tures swayed, earthenware leaped about. Some mighty force seemed to hold the house and to be trying to whip the ground with it, I realized that this was the real thing; and {t seemed to be overdone. A California earthquake was due to last for a few seconds only, but this did not know when to stop. Now the power was tryIng to twist the house about its chimneys, taking each of the three In turn. I rushed along the reellng gang- way of the house, seized the baby and got out on the veranda, where bricks could‘not fall. ‘Phe older boy, who was sleeping on the roof, clung on as to a runaway horse. As things became a little calmer he shouted down: | “The church Is falling! The gym- nasium ts caving in! Everything has gone bum!” I saw the dust of mortarrising, and the students crowding in the roads, and then I knew that we had had an epoch-making earthquake. Will there be any more earth- quakes in California? Certainly there will. The earthquake of 1868, the most severe then known in this region, had perhaps half the violence of the present one. It fs probable that the more violent the shock the longer the immunity afterward. There may never be another of this sort, for the whole strain of the mountain seems ta be relieved tor 250 miles. Little shocks occur every day. These are but details of ad- Justment, the polishing off of project- ing corners. Not Another in a Lifetime. The next great shock may be in some other fault, in, some e®ier part of the country. It may appear in the Carisa Plain, in San Luis Obispo County, a barren sink in which this rift scems to terminate. Propaecy is cheap and worth only what it costs. It is enough to say that a second great skock,is not likely to be felt here in a lifetime. Furthermore, no Californian loves California the less for its great earth- quakes. They come only once or twice in a century. Little earth- quakes are no more to be feared ‘than gusts of wind. The-loss of Ilfe, even in the greatest shock, is Jess in pro- portion than the harvest of pneumo- nia from a single Eastern blizzard. ‘The loss of property comés because we forget. We are safe in low frame house, or we can hold high houses together with hooks of stéel. It is as easy to build houses earthquake- proof as rain-proof. The brick chim- ney has no place In Calffornia. It was imported from the East with the tenderfoot and the tourist. Indeed, outside of the fall of brick walls, spires, cornices and chimneys, which-we must-renounce, our earth- quakes need do very little mischief. It was fire, not earthquake, which destroyed our joyous San Francisco. Mindful of the lesson, a Joyous peo- ple will build the city again.

In Burma this made much trouble for an English column, whose experiences are told by the author of “A People at School.” We were in a very hostile country. That was easy to see. When we went out of town we were fired upon. We thought reprisal necessary, and tried it—but to retaliate you must have some one to retaliate on. We saw Do one.

The belief that this golden treasure Hes buried in various parts of the State of Iowa has led hundreds of persons to dig industriously for more than half a century. The discovery within the last fortnight of $45,000 in gold in one part ofthe State and a map giving the whereabouts of $9000 of Black Hawk’s fortune in another, says the St. Louis Globe- Democrat, has set hundreds all over the State to searching the records and digging the ground. After a Tapse of a century the fortune, for the first time, now seems about to he discovered, That gold by the thousands of dol- lars, aggregating far ‘more than $100,000, was sent from St. Louis to the Northern Indians, both before and after the Black Hawk War in 1832, is undeniable. In 1804, as a result of the treaty negotiated in St. Louis by William Henry Harrison with five Sac and For chiefs, an annulty of $1000 was granted to the tribe, and was paid for more than a quarter of a century. In 1820 no less than $80,000 was sent from St. Louis to Col. Zachary ‘Taylor at Fort McKay, Iowa, to pay the regular soldiers whose presence was necessary fi the Territory of Towa because of Black Hawk and his anticipated outbreak. That fortune in gold was buried by Zachary Tay- lor's command, and the men who knew of its whereabouts were killed by the Indians. In 1832,following the Black Hawk ‘War, a treaty was made with Keokuk and other Sac and Fox chiefs by Win- field Scott and Gor. Reynolds of Ii- Unots, by which the Indians were given a lump sum of $50,000 and an annuity of $20,000 for thirty years. Aside from buying whisky and_rifles, the Indians had no way to spend the money. A dozen other instances might be cited 0: money sent Into Iowa Terri- tory to pay red men and white that has mysteriously disappeared. Just within the last few days have the first traces been found of it. Iowa has gold mines which the plow of the farmer may turn up any day, bring- ing fortune to the lucky man, Frank Blint owns a farm in the heart of what half a century or more ‘ago was the famous half-breed tract. Deciding to deepen a cistern which had been on the premises for many years he went industriously to work with pick and shovel. Hardly had he turned up a dozen shoyelfuls of the long undisturbed earth when his shovel rang on metal, A few min- utes work disclosed an old fron pot. Digging it loose and bringing it to the light, Blint was dazzled by the golden stream which poured forth, Exactly $45,000 in gold eagles and double eagles was the fortune he had unearthed, It could have come from no other source than some family of wealthy half-breeds, unable to spend their generous patrimony. Tho same week in which this por- tion of the vast treasure was discov- ered clues were found to another portion undoubtedly burfed not Atty miles away near where Black Hawk and his companions spent their last days after the disastrous close of the rebellion and their journey down the Mississippl to Jefferson berracks and then, in charge of Jefferson Davis, across to Washington and New York, Tearing down the old Bonnifield log cabin, near Falrfleld, one of the oldest buildings in the oldest part of the State, the workers found an ink- horn and quill case, resembling much in appearance a razor case, and¢a musty old pocketbook which con- tained a newspaper clipping bearing the date June 25, 1828, and-a letter. The last two were so faded that a magilfying glass was necessary to read them, and even then paris of the letter were beyond deciphering. ‘The paper is vellow and torn where it had been fylved and the ink with which the lette#,vas written {s badly faded. As nel as it can be made out the letter ‘rins in this manaer: - “Frisco, June 21.—My Dear Wil-} liam: * * * wagon, had lots of time tothink * * * money which is burled near the old Bonnifield house. You know what I am, found out from Black Hawk * © © over from Illinois. Ilooked * © write a lot, but the stage Jeayes in a minute and I got. to ‘quit. ” Yours, : 0 We “PS.—Mebbe it ain't that house, but what other big house could he have meant?” a The purport of the lefter fs plain. The money referred to ts undoubt- ediy part of that paid ‘to’ Black Hawk's tribe by the United States-in return for the lands sold by them, either by the treaty of 1304, or of 1832 or some intermediate date. ‘There js an old story in the neigh- borhood where the lettér was found of how: three Indian braves were ap- pointed to bury this gold, the pum- ber being chosex so that “if ond was killed there would yet be some one left to find the location. As the irony of fate would have it, however, a tribal war followed, and every one of the three in the secret was killed, so that none of,the tribe could-locate the missing treasure, - The map which was found with the old letter gives fairly legible di- rections for the search, and already dozens are at work digging in the varlous parts of the neighborhood In search of the money. Of all the land- marks mentioned on the map, how- ever, but one tree remains, though pioneers familiar with the nelghbor- hood say they well rentomber when all of those shown were standing. ‘Tlie map shows a line running dias- onally, 400 fest southeast of the cabin. This line is crossed by one running duo east. A line running north and south crosses these two, and the letter says to dig at the cen- tre of the triangle instead of the crossing of the east-west and north- south ]nes, where all previous dig- ging has been done. An even greater amount of gol@ treasure Hes.burled 150 miles north of where Mr. Blint found his $45,000 and where the Fairfield residénts are digging for the $9000 spoken of In the Bonnifield letter. There 1s $80,- 000 sent from St. Louis in 2830 to Fort BicKay to the ‘soldiers under Col. Zachary Taylor, which was bur~ fed until the Indian trouble should blow over, and which has fever been diseqvered. Men ard eveh women haye dug foxy this money for many years, but the success of the search- ers in the southern part of tho Stato has inspired those in the northern, and the search is being taken up again as never before. . ‘The story of the Taylor fortune is interesting in the extreme. One day in 1830 four bags of gold were received at Fort McKay, near where the little town of North 3fc- Gregor, Iowa, now stands. It was the largest shipment ever sent out from St. Louis to aay of the frontier posts and was to be used to pay off the white solders who were vallantly preserving order by holding,the re- bellious Indians in leash. Co}. Tay- lor, when apprized of the safe arrival of the money, took every precaution to safeguard {t until the Indians had been driven away or pacifled, when the men could be paid and allowed to return to the white settlement to spend their hard-earned money. Calling together the command, Col. Taylor chose four of the brayest and most trustworthy men and, after in- forming them of the importance of the mission upon which he was about to send them, he gave to each a baz of gold with instructions to carry the bags to some safe place, which they should jointly select, and there hide the treasure from the Indians. An attack being feared et any moment, the four men started at once.’ They never returned. Hardly had the four men left the stockade when a well-planned attack was made by the Indians. The fight- ing was fast and furious and extend- ed over several days. When at Iast the Indians had been repulsed Col. Taylor lost no time in selecting a party aud sending {t out to rescue the gold hunters. The party searched for many hours before they éame across tie four men lying dead and entirely naked, the Indians having murdered, sealped and stripped them. Hot the smallest suggestion of the . whereabouts of the gold could be found about the place where the men had lost their lives in defense of thelr trust, but after a thorough earch one of the members of the varty was rewarded by finding a crap of paper near the body of one of the men, known as Mercierre, It s that scrap of paper which has in- pired three-quarters of a century cf” ligging. On it,was scrawled: ON HIGHEST, BLUFF ACROSS : FROM FORT IN 4 PILES : | EACH $20,000, 2 PIERRE MERCIERRE. 2 ‘This scrap of paper fs still in’ex- istence to-day aad is positively tte only clue to the burfed '$80,000 of United States mcney which. should have gone to thé troops whom Col. Taylor took up the Mississippi from. St. Louls a year or two before. ‘The suppositfon all along-has been, that one of,the gold hiders, finding that his last moment was near, hast- tly scrawled the best directions he could, in the haste and danger upon the paper and threw it from, him Jn the hope some of his fellows. would. find it. Col. Taylor had partles dtg~ ging for(the money for many days; but.mever @ trace was found, EEO SS tes ee ee Peal eee GREASE TER.

If the spirit of the race loyalty would pervade our people to a greater extent, this will be easily realized. Ung ot the first acts of the Alabama legislature was the pre- senting of a resolution authoriz- ing the governor to examine the books used at Tuskegee Insti- tate. This resolution may be more far reaching than it ap- pears in any event much may yet heard fromit. This state gives buta meagre sum to sup- port of thisgreat institution. Crry council very justly re- fused to grant a license for a bar room opposite the Episcopal erphan home on Jefterson strest. This action is applauded by all good citizens. This brings to ‘mind that some time ago Le ous protest was made against the granting ofthe petition for a barroom on West Broad and ‘Walburg streets, which bar room nearly adjoins the F. B. B. Church of which Rev. Alex. Harris is pastor. No attention was paid to the protest and the bar room is still in fall blast. When it comes to race affairs the the eyes of justice seem blind, A FEW weeks ago & colored porter on an A. C. L. train found a bag containing thousands of dollars‘worth of jewels. With consciousness characteristic of the race the valuables were re- ported to the proper authorities and restored to the rightful own- er, A fewdays ago in Brons- wick, an expressman losta valu- able jewol belonging to the wife of Congressman Brantley. This was found by a small colored boy who gave it to his mother and who in turn reported the same. It was restored to the company and the little boy re- warded. Many instances of this kind can be cited to disprove the charge of race dishonesty. THE Metropolitan Insurance Company has thousands of col- ored policy holders, in fa t the business of the company was built up considerably in this section by the patronage of the colored people. This company has recently, it is alleged, is- sued an order to refuse their application in the future. There is but one other company that does the same thing, the Pra- dential. It has also been publish ed that Collier’s had refused to sell toour people. This can be better understood by the article in the last issue of Collier's on “The Negro’s Handicap” as fol- lows: “Discriminating against the Negro seoms to be a game at which others besides man, Vardaman, and the ‘jim crow’ railroads can play. The Metro- politan Life Insurance Compa- ny, a worthy rival to Senator Dryden’s philanthrophic organi sation in Newark for providing as poorwidow with the means o bury her husband, issued an order to its agents to accept no Negro risks after the first of the year. Too many die to make the business profitable. At the same time, Mr. Jim Jeffries, champion announces that he will never meetMr. Jaok Jobn- son ‘a husky colored gentleman who yearns to wear the title, in the prize ring. Mr. Jeffries says tersely that he will defend his honors against any white man: for 2 purse of $50,000. He does not fear Mr, Johnson—not at all —only ‘no gentleman would fight a nigger.’ Students of tory, however, are recalling that only eight years ago, a year before he became champion by boating Mr, Bob Fitssimmons, the Odysseus of the equared cir- cle, J Mr, Jeffries fought Mr. Bob Armstrong, a colored pugi- list.M@The champion is fintckey..

Sigmon Lindsay, Kelse Grant was born on the Arllogton place, seven miles south of Louisville ia Jefferson County,|Ga., Bent. rth, 879. ° or ed " | In boyhood, he was always truthful. straight forward and of long patience: I thought kis patlence was cultivated by having an ex {for bie pet; which ‘he rode, drové and fed. At about 8 years old he entered the pub- llc school at Union Bethel. By his ability he soon won his way af one of the leaders of bis classes, In 1899 he professed religion and joined the Union Bethel Baptist Churcb, at that time his father and mother had moved from the community of bis boyhood. ‘They then lived near Wadley, Ga. He bad six brothers and three sisters. He was the youngest of the boys, with only one sister younger than himself, His father (Hector Grast) died in Aug. 1898, His elder brother (James W Grant) died Feb, 1895, All ten children were of the same mother and father, His father lived 6 be 62 years old.’ His mother (Meafinda Grant) still Hyes she fs about 65 years old now. In 1898 the family had gone through a great financial strain and bad sent some of the children to College at a great sacrifice, and was theo under Indigent circum- stance, but he still beld tothe idea “Iam going to educate myself” which be said all through boyhood, At Wadley he attended a school taught yy. one of his brothers one ortwo terms, e took examination in Gibson, Glasscock County, to teach in public schools, He taught there two or three years; then went to Tattaall County. Just before going to Tattnall, he saved ‘enough money to pay his way to Savannah toumeG. 8. h College. By golog on an excursion, he thought he would have money enough to pay for books and one month’s board; but by golng on a crowded coach some one stole his pocket book out of pocket containing $4.50, but he kept on ‘to sehool and In some way made his way ‘through.

'_ Next to his brother, he numbered Mr. J. E, Milleca clastmate and dearest frlend of his, He often spoke of him as an old friend, and said that he could sever tell Mr. Miller how much he loved him. He’was a good christian during sickness. He spoke most of the beautitudes of the bible, He called them ‘Planks of Salva- tion.” Whenever he repeated or would bave his brother to read the a3rd. Paals, he would shout “‘nless the Lord.” He sald to bis brother again and again that he was not afraid todic; but most be desired to live for, wasto do bis race, some good. And what he disliked most, about being sick, was that some boy or gil who’ goes to school would point to a.

SCALY ERUPTION ON BODY. Doctors and Remedies Fruitless—Suffered 10 Years—Completely Cured by Three Boxes of Cufteura. "When I was about nine years old small sores appeared on each of my lower limbs. I scratched them with a brass pin, and shortly afterwards both of those limbs became so sore that I could scarcely walk. When I had been suffering for about a month the sores began to heal, but small, scaly eruptions appeared where the sores had been. From that time onward I was troubled by such severe itching that, until I became accustomed to it, I would scratch the sores until the blood began to flow. This would stop the itching for a few days, but scaly places would appear again and the itching would accompany them. After I suffered about ten years I made a renewed effort to effect a cure. The eruptions by this time had appeared on every part of my body except my face and hands. The best doctor in my native county advised me to use arsenic in small wounds and a salve. I then used to bath the sores in a mixture which gave almost intolerable pain. In addition I used other remedies, such as iodine, sulphur, zinc salve, —'s Salve, —'s Ointment, and in fact I was continually giving some remedy a fair trial, never using less than one or two boxes or bottles. All this was fruitless. Finally my hair began to fall out and I was rapidly becoming bald. I used —'s —, but it did no good. A few months after, having used almost everything else, I thought I would try Cuticura Ointment, having previously used Cuticura Soap and being pleased with it. After using three boxes I was completely cured, and my hair was restored, after fourteen years of suffering and an expenditure of at least $50 to $80 in wining eneavoring to find a cure. I shall be glad to write to any one who may be interested in my cure. B. Hiram Mattingly, Vermillion, S. Dale, Aug. 18, 1906."

J. W. Hogun, former postmaster of Indianola, now living at Austin, Texas, writes: "I was afflicted, for years with pains across the loins and in the hips and shoulders. I had headache also and neura.gia. My right eye, from pain, was of little use to Austin, Texas, writes: "I was afflicted, for years with pains across the loins and in the hips and shoulders. I had headache also and neura.gia. My right eye, from pain, was of little use to me for years. The constant flow of urine kept my system depleted, causing nervous chills and night sweats. After trying seven different climates and using all kinds of medicine I had the good fortune to hear of Doan's Kidney Pills. This remedy has cured me. I am as well to-day as I was twenty years ago, and my eyesight is perfect." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y.

Stowed away on every ship of the United States Navy, from tugboat to 16,000 ton battleship, is a bundle of flags, shoulder high and about fifteen feet long. About half the lot is composed of foreign flags, which are encased in thick paper bags, with the name of the country stencilled on the end of the bag. The remainder, including those for ordinary use, are not wrapped, but tied in round bundles and lettered. The pile contains 250 flags, the regulation number each ship must carry. The making of this number of flags costs the United States $60,000 a year, of which $43,000 is paid for material alone. Each ship has forty-three foreign flags on board constantly. These flagshare twenty-five feet long and thirteen feet wide. With these on board the ship is prepared to meet and show the proper courtesies which naval etiquette demands to all nations whose high officials should come aboard or whose waters the vessel should enter while on a cruise. As a ship's quota of flags is renewed every three years, it is no small job to keep enough flags on hand, and to this end Uncle Sam keeps a large flag making establishment running at full blast the year round, at the Brooklyn navy yard. Here there are nearly one hundred skilled needle-women working every day of the year, except Sundays and holidays, cutting the vari-colored bunting into strips and sewing and stitching them together in their proper place. The most difficult part of the work is the making of the foreign flags, for some of them, be it known, are fearfully and wonderfully made. Take, for example, the flag of San Salvador. In the back is a belching volcano, pouring forth its lava and white smoke. On the sides of the mountain is the green foliage and shrubbery. Directly in front is a tranquil sea of sapphire blue. Above the volcano is a rising sun set in a design of overflowing cornucopias, and a diamond, from which the rays are scintillating in every direction. To the right and left of the volcano are draped, in varied design, banners which laboriously try to pattern the Stars and Stripes, and yet not show the plagiarism. Around the whole concatenation is a wreath of cactus lovingly embracing the volcano, while at the top the date of the country's independence is inscribed. To make a flag of San Salvador cost the Government just $52.50, and when one of these flags is placed on each battleship every three years it can be readily seen that the insignificant little republic to the south of us is really costing the taxpayers of the country more than they would care to admit. Then there is the flag of China, with its long, crawling, mythical blood red dragon. To make that flag costs the Government something like $40. The flag of Costa Rica, with its scenic beauty of mountain and sea, costs $50, nearly as much as the costliest of them all, that of San Salvador. The largest flag made by Uncle Sam's - flag makers is the United States ensign No. 1, which is thirty-six feet long and nineteen feet wide. It costs $40 to turn out a flag of this style. The President's flag, while not the largest, requires the longest time of any to make, as it takes one woman a whole month to finish it.—Washington Post. THE POPULAR IMPRESSION. "Minnie," said the young man, whose heart was thumping violently, "do you know that everybody—er—says—says—that we—we are engaged?

COSTLY PRESSURE: A resident of a great Western State puts the case regarding stimulants with a comprehensive brevity that is admirable. He says: "I am 56 years old and have had considerable experience with stimulants. They are all alike—a mortgage on reserved energy at ruinous interest. As the whip stimulates but does not strengthen the horse, so do stimulants act upon the human system. Feeling this wav, I gave up coffee and all other stimulants and began the use of Postum Food coffee some months ago. The beneficial results have been apparent from the first. The rheumatism that I used to suffer from has left me, I sleep sounder, my nerves are steadier and my brain clearer. And I bear testimony, also to the food value of Postum—something that is lacking in coffee." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason.

Rolling a barrel is about the easiest known method of getting an empty barrel from one place to another. Undoubtedly the barrel carrier shown in the illustration is better still. Its best recommendation is that anyone having use for one could readily make it, although an Ohio man has secured a patent on the idea. Little explanation is required to understand its construction. Hooks are placed at each end of the barrel on the rim. These hooks are formed at the end of rods, which are connected by a stout cord, the latter also forming the loop which encircles the arm. With the use of two of these carriers, one on each arm, a barrel may be carried for quite a distance without straining the arms. — Philadelphia Record. Wild Ducks Stocked Fish Pond Many people, not without education and a general knowledge of natural history, are mystified by the presence of fish in enclosed waters. For many years there was openmouthed wonder over the perch, bream and crayfish found in the newly cut dams near the Marguarle River in New South Wales. In some cases the water had scarcely settled after the rain had filled the dam when the fish were observed, and the Australian farmers started a theory of spontaneous production. This obtained and gained wide credence until a Sydney professor chanced to pick up a wild duck and found its breast feathers well dotted with fertile and almost hatched fish ova, on which the "spontaneous production" theory was promptly withdrawn.—London Globe.

Do You Think For Yourself ? Or, do you open your mouth like a young bird and gulp down whatever food or medicine may be offered you? The human intelligent thinking woman, in need of relief from weakness, nervousness, pain and snakeking, then it means much to you that there one tried and true honest medicine or known composition, sold by druggists for the cure of woman'sills. The makers of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Proscription, for the care of weak, nervous, run-down, over-worked, debilitated, pain-racked women, knowing this medicine to be made up of ingredients, every one of which has the strongest possible endorsement of the leading and standard authorities of the several schools of practice, are perfectly willing, and in fact, are only too glad to print, as they do, the formula, or list of ingredients, of which it is composed, in plain English, on every bottle-wrapper. The formula of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription will bear the most critical examination of medical experts, for it contains no alcohol, narcotics, harmful, or habit-forming drugs, and no agent enters into it that is not highly recommended by the most advanced and leading medical teachers and authorities of their several schools of practice. These authorities recommend the ingredients of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription for the cure of exactly the same ailments for which this world-famed medicine is advised. No other medicine for woman's ills has any such professional endorsement as Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has received, in the unqualified recommendation of each of its several ingredients by scores of leading medical men of all the schools of practice.

They look for some remarkable display of feeling, some- thing beyond and above the dally and hourly emotions of life, In order that ‘they may feel certain of “having re- ligion.” In other words, they look yfor romance, not commonplace. > “What! we can hear them cry, , “do you mean to say that when some powerful and cloquent preacher bas stirred our hearts and made us real- ize the depth of degradation in which we bave been living, until we turn with disgust from our past life, make unnumbered good resolutions and feel good all over, that we have not got religion? What more would you command? ‘There {3 only one thing which we could ask, and yet what a difficult test, “keep the feeling alive.” No man is a Christian who must be converted and baptized once a year. Reilgion is for a lifetime, not a day, or a week, or even a month or two. “There is nothing more decep- tive than the enthusizsm resu'ting from magnetic, eloquent preachiig. ‘The politician, the lawyer, even the infidel, all exercise this ‘compelling | power over an andiehee, and in no case does it give religion. Religion, comes Into the heart from no man, | it comes from God Himself. It is true, indeed, that God uses human, means, but when a soul is truly con- verted religious enthusiasm wells from the heart {na deep, quiet stream, not in the bnbbling, efterves- cent sprifg of some momentary esal- tation. Such periods of excitement do seem to lift us outside the ordinary routine of life, and they have in them a touch of the romentic. But what really is romance, otter all? It is merely the commonplace Flewed from a distance. If any incident which excites our faney and appears | to be romantic were talzen from the | pages of one of our thrilling novels, and introduced into our own lives we shouli Jook upon it as trouble, and what a deal of grumbling there would be. Don't you see that this is true, and is not a romantic nevel, simpiy the story of difficulties and trials overcome? There is this difference between a book and Ife: in a book petty details are ieft ouz and the ex- citing events crowded together, one -upon another. In life the petty ce- tails are all retained, afd (in many cases) the thrilling paszeges omitted. ‘When some of us sigh in our rouch for stirring scenes and a part to play on life's stage, which shall be full of thrilling adventures, such as we hare read about in our favorite books, do we ever think about ¢isaster to our- selves, and does the story not end happily? Yes, we all desire romance, “Dut no trouble or hardship ever en- ters into the bargain. They are in- separable in the real business of life. So we see that Christianity {s ro- mantic only in thé true sense. It means trials and obstacies to be over- come. The very first Yequirement of ro- mance is courage, ands here romiance and Christianity agree. No cowerd ‘was ever 2 Christian. There is no greater mistaxe in the world than to euppose that a Christian must be 2 milksop, a poor, meek, wishy-washy cresture, without stamina and with-: out manhood, Amore the heroes of history noxe were greater. none more glorious and godlike than the Chris- tian martyrs. ‘They ‘were not sup- ported by ambition, by the praise of men, nor the fear of ridicule, but calmly and with eyes that saw, with- out filnching, their doom, dled for a feeling, that mysterious thing, faith. Pause a little, you ‘who look with contempt upon the Christian life, and ‘think which is the braver course, to float easily with the stream, to give ‘unbridled way to base passions and ‘weaknesses in our human hearts, to avoid the finger of scorn by joining the swelling ranks of the scoffers and the degraded, or that other path, to take the side of the minority, to bat- tle zgainst sin, to acknowledge the standard of honor and freedom of conscience? Whoever conquers his besetting sin 1s man indeed. True religion, then, is brave as well as steadfast, but ‘above all it is steadfast, it does not demand great sermons, it finds “sermons in stones.” It does not ask for great deeds to do, it is contented with its opportunities. Who shall say what things are small? Newton saw gravitation in the falling of an apple, and Galileo, watching the . lamp of 2 great cathedral vibrating {rom the movements of passing vehi- cles, gave to the world the division of dime by méans of the pendulum. Greatness lay in the minds of those fe, duty, the daily task, the com- monplace routine, when undettaken in the spirit of Christian faith takes, the form of that dear dream that lies in the heart of us all. Who would imagine anything he- rofe in the act of that poor widow when she cast into an almsbox her two mites of copper? It took the gracious mind of Christ Jesus to point out to the svorid the beauty of that insignificant deed. Yes, and as Jong as the world shall last and while the gospel is preached to erring man- kind, the greatness ‘of a poor woman's heart, shall point out to the world a lesson of beauty/and heroism that shall never die. 7 | Why Ile Cobbled Shoes. A characteristic story is told about Dr. Carey, the pioneer miss{onary in India, who, before he left’ this coun- try, was a shoemaker, or rather, as he himself put it, a cobbler. He used to go about from village to village preaching, for his sul was filled with the love of God. One day a friend came to him and sald, “Mr. Carey, I want to speak to you very serlously.” “Well,” saig Mr. Carey, “what is it?" The friend replied, “By your going about preaching aS you do you are neglecting your busi- ness. If you only attended to your ‘business more you would be all right, and would soon get on and prosper, but as ft {s you are simply neglecting your business.” ‘Neglecting my business?” said Carey, looking at him steadily. “My business fs to extend the Kingdom of God. I only cobble shoes to pay expenses.” “The Iron in God’s Sand {s Gold.” If one should give me a dish of sand, and tell me there were parti- cles of fron fn it, I mlght look for them with my eyes and search for them with my clumsy fingers, and be unable to detect them, but let me take a magnet and sweep through it, and how it would draw to itself the most invisible particles by the mere power of attraction! The unthank- ful heart, like my finger in the sand, discovers’ no moréiec, but let~ the ‘thankful heart sweep through the day, as the magnet finds the fron. 60 it will find in every hour some heev- enly blessings; only the fron, in God's sand 1s gold.—Holmes. | Winnowed Wheat. to 70 CMOY prayer we must be, used to it. $ ~—It'Is the mission of Christianity to enlighten. What we make our trust ia, God often maxes our shame. God's house is a necessity, not to Him, but to His people. Prayer should be pillared on prom- 1ses and pinnacled with praises. Religion presents few difficulties to the humble, many to the proud and insuperable ones to the vain. "Good prayers never come weenlys home. We may be sure we will re- -eeive either what we asi or what we should ask, ; | “Whe Not Now? Now fs the favorable time. For a duty no better time shall come.

U.S. Government Inspected. & pPecterrecme ne pros rerers Peco eT = Tillman Lambasts Roosevelt Anent Brownsville Affair. WIELDS HIS PITCHFORK Carolina Senator, in Sensational Harangue, Holds President Responsible for Outrage Which He Later Punished. "The president's action in dismissing these men was nothing more nor less than lynching." This was only one of many bitter exclamations made by Senator Tillman in a speech on the floor of the senate Saturday afternoon on the Brownsville affair. It was regarded as the most violent address ever delivered by the South Carolinian before that body. In a voice heavy with emotion, he charged President Roosevelt with having revived the race issue and with bringing about conditions more threatening than those of 1861. "The president is primarily more responsible than any other man for the position, the negroes, in the South and out of it, have taken on the question of negro rights," he declared. "He gave recognition to Booker T. Washington in a social way. He did it knowingly, flying in the face of the feelings of caste among 17,000,000 white people in the South, and against the same feeling of two-thirds of the people of the North. "He does not understand the negro or the deep and vital character of the issues involved. He made a mess of it in the first instance in the Booker: Washington case, and has made a worse mess of it in the Brownsville case." Senator Tillman spoke with unusual emphasis and reminded his hearers of the old days when he received his title of "pitchfork." After quoting 'the president's Brownville message, in which the president declared that each man should be dealt with on his merits as a man and not have his conduct judged because of his color, Mr. Tillman shouted: "Is President Roosevelt ready to act upon this theory and have his children marry' men and women of the other races? "Would he accept as a daughter-in-law a Chinese, a Malay, an Indian or a negro in accord with the doctrine laid 'down in his message? "We all know he would not, and while 'fine words butter no parsulips,' words like his are a source of incalculable evil, coming from that high source." Discussing the Brownville case, he said: "There is no doubt of the guilt of some of the soldiers as being responsible for the outrage at Brownsville, but it is contrary to the fundamental principles of liberty and of English and American law that the innocent should suffer because of the sins of the guilty. In this case 167 men have been punished while not more than twenty have ever been charged with participation in the crime. "The troops never should have been sent to Brownsville. It was done against the protests of one senator and members of congress from that district and done in the face of the record of the Twenty-Fifth Infantry." In his conclusion, speaking of the anmalagation of the races, the senator said: "In Cuba the color line has been obliterated and miscegenation is in full blast. At the North, the same conditions exist and a large number of mulattoes and quadroops with white blood in their veins, who have migrated there, are the leaders in the doctrine of absolute social equality, encouraged as they have been and are now being by the president of the United States. "The Southern white men and women who have for forty years resisted in every possible way the doctrine of the equality of the races are just as resolved now as they have always been not to submit to it, or its results. "The conditions are growing worse and more aggravated every day. Race antagonism increases in intensity. Are things to drift until dire tragedies multiply on every hand and blood shall flow like water? Is the statesmanship of our time inadequate to cope with this question just as the statesmanship of 1860 failed to prevent the diro catastrophe of civil war. "That war was fought to settle the race question, but forty years after its termination, we find conditions more threatening in some of their respects than they were in 1861." . GIGANTIC LAND LITIGATION. Some 350,000 Acres Involved in Dispute in Kentucky. The biggest coal land litigation that the south has ever known is now on in four eastern Kentucky counties. Some 350,000 acres, valued at $100,000,000, are involved, being claimed by an eastern syndicate under the old Virginia land grants, made over a centufy ago, before Kentucky became a state. SHAW HAS SIDESTEPPED. Recommends a Subtreasury for the South, But Falls to Suggest Where It Shall Be Located. A Washington dispatch says: Secretary Shaw, has forwarded to the ways and means committee his, recommendation relative to the establishment of a sub-treasury in the southeast, Chairman Payne says the matter will be considered at a called meeting, and in the meantime refuses to talk of the contents of Mr. Shaw's communication. It is known, however, that the secretary has failed to express a preference as to the location of the institution. Indeed, he makes no reference to the alleged caucus of the southern states from which Georgia bolted. He says in substance that if another subtreasury is to be established, it should by all means be located in the southeast. He even avoids naming a state. Chairman Payne had intended calling the matter to the attention of his committee Monday morning, with a view to disposing of the question, but the secretary's communication was forgotten for the time being. The report of Secretary Shaw is disappointing to many southern congressmen, but is especially gratifying to the Georgians, who are anxious to have the matter settled on its merits by the ways and means committee. It had been known, however, that the secretary would urge the establishment of a sub-treasury, instead of leaving it for the committee to decide whether one is really needed. Congressman Livingston announces, in connection with the report, that if a sub-treasury is established it is bound to be located at Atlanta. A CENTURY BEHIND TIME. Pope's Orders Are Considered by Many as Ridiculously Antiquated. Rev. C. K. Nelson, Episcopal bishop of Georgia, does not agree with the Rev. Robert Codman, Episcopal bishop of Maine, in believing that the troubles between the government and the Roman Catholic church in France warrant official action on the part of the Episcopal church in America. Bishop Codman, a few days ago, authorized the churches in his diocese to offer a special prayer in behalf of the Roman Catholic church in France. Bishop Nelson was shown the prayer and asked if he intended to authorize the Episcopal church of Georgia to take similar action or whether he agreed with the policy, and said: "No. I do not intend to take any such action, for I do not think the conditions warrant it. "Some are inclined to lay the trouble to the fact that the orders, of the pope are always a hundred years behind the times. Things that he could order and consistently contend for one hundred years ago are about out of date now, and cannot be upheld. Many have held this view." FIVE BILLIONS ARE NEEDED By Railroads of Country in Order to Keep Up With Growing Business. Governor John A. Johnson of Minnesota has received a letter from James J. Hill, president of the Great Northern Railway company, declaring that it would require a permanent investment of $1,100,000 a year for five years to provide the railroads of the country with the means to handle properly the business already in sight, and not allowing for future growth. WHEELER TO ASSIST OBEAR. Son of Noted Sire to Aid in Inspection of Georgia Troops. Captain Jos. A. Wheeler, Jr., U. S. A., a son of the late General Joseph Wheeler, has been detailed to assist in the Inspection of the troops of the national guard of Georgia. Captain Wheeler has been ordered to report for duty February 1, when the inspections will be begun under the direction of Colonel Obear. WORK HOURS NOT RESTRICTED. Commerce Commission Brings Out the Facts as to Railway Wreck. Investigation by the interstate commerce commission Monday at Washington into the block signal system in use on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad showed that men engaged in the operation of trains work an excessive number of hours without a sufficient period of rest intervening it. It was developed that no restrictions are placed upon the hours trailmen shall work, and that they take advantage offered to labor for many hours in order to increase their compensation. TO TEDDY AND TO EDDIE Mission Boards Appeal Asking Their Aid Agent Affairs in Songo. At a meeting of the conference of foreign missions boards of the United States and Canada, held in Philadelphia Saturday, it was unanimously agreed to forward to President Roosevelt, the United States senate and King Edward, an appeal on behalf of the stricken people of the Congo State. Georgia Cullings Dean of Agricultural School. Dr. Andrew M Soule, of Blacksburg, Va., has been elected to the position of dean of the agricultural school at Athens. The salary paid to the head of the college is $5,000 per annum, which is $1,000 more per year than Dr. Soule is now receiving. Albany's Latest Census. The new census of the city of Albany shows a population of 10,136. The last federal census only gave Albany a population of 4,606, and the increase is, therefore, little short of remarkable. The census shows that there are 3,363 whites and 6,773 colored. * * * Postmaster Gets Light Sentence. J. F. Wilson, postmaster of Poulan, and one of the most prominent men of that place, was fined $225 and sentenced to serve one year and one day in the Atlanta penitentiary by Judge Emory Speer. Mr. Wilson was indicted for making improper use of the postal funds. He pleaded guilty to the technical charge, but urged that he did no intentional wrong. In imposing sentence, Judge Speer said that it was the shortest penitentiary sentence he had ever imposed. Postoffice Sites Inspected Major Brackett, who has been in Georgia inspecting postoffice sites, has returned to Washington, and will submit his report to the treasury department in a day or two. They will be referred to the secretary, and notice will be issued that for thirty days suggestions and recommendations will be received from the citizens of the localities affected. At the end of that time the lots will be purchased for the erection of public buildings. . . . . Prohibition Election for Terrell. The requisite of names having been signed to a petition asking the ordinary to order an election in Terrell county on the question of abolishing the dispensaries. This petition was recently filed with that official and Ordinary Cheatham has designated Thursday, February 7, as the day on which an election will be held at the various precincts in the county to determine the question as to whether or not the dispensary system which has been in operation since 1893 will be discontinued. ```markdown ``` Silver Service for the Georgia. The battleship Georgia will not be sent to Savannah for the presentation of the silver service. Both Captain Davenport and the navy department are unwilling to take the risk of an entrance to the channel, and a presentation out at sea would be awkward and unsatisfactory. The plan has, therefore, been abandoned. The mayor of Savannah has been advised from Washington that the presentation of a silver service to the battleship Georgia from the people of this state would take place at Hampton Roads, near the Jamestown exposition, on June 10. --- A Trans-State Railroad. Secretary of State Phil Cook has granted a charter to the Savannah, Augusta and Northern Railway Company. The charter extends for the period of 101 years, and the principal office is in Statesboro. The capital stock of the new road is placed at $8,000,000, divided into $5,000,000 preferred and $3,000,000 common. If the road is completed it will be 402 miles in length, the longest direct line in the state. It will extend from Savannah to the state line, terminating at Rosaville, Chattanooga being its objective point. Soldier Boys Going to Exposition. Soldier Boys Going to Exposition. The officers and men of the Fifth regiment infantry, Georgia State Troops, will attend Georgia day at the Jamestown exposition June 6, next, and the day to be made memorable by the visit of President Roosevelt to the exposition and to Bullock Hall. An 'officers' meeting has decided that the regiment will go as a body, and several important committees were appointed to make arrangements to that end. It is understood that $5,000 will be needed to pay the expenses. A military fair and ball will be given and the Atlanta city council may make an appropriation. ```markdown ``` Money Given Cotton Association. John D. Walker of Sparks, treasurer of the Georgia division of the Southern Cotton Association, has just issued his report showing the contributions to the association of the various counties in the state as well as those of individuals. Bartow county heads the list with $168.83, while Laureens county comes second with $166.75. The total from counties amounts to $2,206.58. The individual contributors to the association from January 1, 1906, to January 1, 1907, amounted to $1,947.45. The grand total contributions to the association are $4,251.03. Baldwin County Goes Dry. One of the most remarkable probi- tion elections ever held in this state occurred in Baldwin county the past week with the prohibitionists leading by 5 to 1. The county has 700 negroes who could vote, and yet not over ten voted at the Milledgeville precinct, and some of those "against the sale." Three hundred of these negroes had registered for the election, but an appeal was made by some of the leading negroes of the community to their race not to be made "catspaws" of and be drawn into the election, when the primary cut them out of all others. The result was that not alty negroes voted in the county. The anis had a petition of 400 names calling the election, but they did not get over one hundred and fifty votes in the county. Thus Baldwin goes dry for four more years and to stay. * * * Commission's Rates Sustained Commission Rates Suspended. The demurrier filed in the United States court by the Georgia railroad commission to the bill submitted to that court by the Southern Railroad Company, in which the railroad company sought to prevent the state railroad commission from putting in force circular 318, has been sustained by Judge Newman in the federal court at Atlanta. That the state railroad commission acted within its powers in changing the classification of the Southern Railway Company so as to reduce its local freight charges approximately 10 per cent, is the effect of this decision. ♠ ♠ ♠ Rules for Agricultural Schools. At the meeting of the board of trustees of the University of Georgia, held the past week at Athens, Governor Terrell offered a resolution prescribing the general plan under which the agricultural schools of each congressional district shall be conducted, the act creating these schools providing that the general board of trustees of the university shall exercise such supervision of such schools as in their judgment may be necessary to secure unity of plan and efficiency. This resolution was unautonously adopted by the general board of trustees, and approved by the board of trustees of the agricultural college, the members of which were present at the meeting. --- Governor Offera Rewards. Governor Terrell has offered a reward of $200 for the apprehension of an unknown negro, who, on January G. shot and killed Town Marshal C. C. Carter of Richland, Mr. Carter thought the negro was an escaped convict and was attempting to arrest him when the negro shot him through the eye, killing him instantly. The murderer escaped and has not been heard of since. A reward of $100 was also offered for the arrest of John Gober, who killed Cleveland Gaulus; 'Christmas Eve, near Nicholson, Jackson county, while the two were engaged in a drunken Christmas frolie. Gober immediately left the county and has not been heard from. 。 GOVERNOR COMER INAUGURATED Immense Throng Witnesses Induction of Alabama Chief, Executive With an escort of two thousand soldiers and in the presence of ten thousand people, B. B. Comer was inaugurated governor of Alabama on Monday at Montgomery. The occasion was marked by great ceremony. The most impressive thing in the inaugural address of Governor Comer was his recommendation for the greatest liberality for education. He is not enthusiastic about immigration and cautioned against cheap foreigners and calling attention to the troubles we have now with 40 per cent cheap negro labor. He urges the appropriation of $200,000 a year more for confederate soldiers and better care of them. He urges bills to bring about rate reduction, abolition of free passa save to employees, laws making the waterways available to the people and emancipation from "the railroad bondage and boycott." He thinks that all fares on main lines should be two and a half cents a mile and on branch lines not over four. COFFEE MUST STAY IN PEN. Department of Justice Refuses Pardon to Convict Counterfeiter, After an exhaustive examination, the department of justice at Washington has declined to recommend a pardon for Coffee, who was convicted of complicity in connection with the big counterfeiting scheme that was unearthed in Atlanta some time ago. As the result of the department's report Coffee will serve out his sentence at Atlanta federal prison. FAMILY EXTERMINATED BY GAS. Father, Mother. Ss and Daughter Asphyxiated in Brooklyn. At Brooklyn, N. Y., Sunday night, illuminating gas; which escaped during the night from a small stove used for heating, caused the death of Meyer Rubin, aged 50 years; his wife, Rosa, 58; their son, Philip L, and their 45-year-old daughter, Rosa. --- . Masonry in Haiti. By Hon. Wm. F. Powell. (The Philadelphia Tribune.) Masonry is universal, it is said to exist in all parts of the habitable globe; this statement, we believe, has never been disputed by those who have ever been opponents to this organization. It has also been granted that of all secret organizations it is the oldest, but while conceded to be universal, in very many countries the working of the rite varles. This is largely the case in the republic of Haiti, which dates its introduction from the Grand Orient of France a few years after it had established its independence under Dessilines and his co-laborers. That our readers may secure a fair idea of its existence, it is well to bring to his attention the surroundings, or more properly speaking, the buildings and grounds. All Masonic Temples in Haiti are of one form, of one story and are centrally located, that is, they are placed in the center of the lot, generally a quarter of an acre in extent, these lots or ground are surrounded by a high brick or stone wall from 15 to 20 feet high and about two or three feet thick. This is a large gate of entrance and above it is a flag staff, upon which when the lodge is in session floats a flag bearing upon it certain emblems denoting the degree in which work is to be performed. On gaining entrance to this enclosure you are conducted around the same, the building or temple, as has been stated, occupies the center, to the right is a small building, also of one room, to which reference will be made later, within many of these enclosure one will find a profusion of fragrant flowers of the tropics as well as an abundance of tropical fruits, as the zuangar, banana and custard apple. After inspecting the grounds one reaches the door of the lodge, where on entering he is surprised to find a large hall about 20 feet wide, surrounding an inner room, oblong in shape, with a profusion of windows, with neither sash or curtains; on entering the inner room, Masonically, if the lodge is in session, if not simply as a matter of inspection—one must bear this in mind, none are admitted who are not Masons—will find it rather dark and gloomy, as all light and ventilation come only from the outer hall, and to secure sufficient light to transact business either wax candles or oil lamps and in many cases both are used. The walls are decorated with handsome oil portraits of the early masters painted in France and with the banner of the lodge. None of the usual forms are observed in entrance as used in this country, so much is this the case that one wonders it he is in a Masonic lodge, and it is only the emblems that surround him on all sides that remind one of the fact that he is in a Masonic lodge; certain fixtures and certain locations that one looks for are found to be absent, which is according to the French rite. After the usual greetings one's attention is called to the lack of interest and the apparent disregard to the work in hand, to the disorder and the lack of secrecy in regard to the work, the windows not being closed or curtained, in fact, there is no means to do either, this being so, the current business or work is as well known to those in the hall that surround the inner chambers as those within the room, one of a lower degree can obtain a knowledge of the work of an upper degree by looking through the uncurtained window or to stand quietly and listen by these windows. One also notices that after the first entrance no permission is required to leave or enter, one can go in and out as often as he desires. The Masonic work closely follows that of French Masonry. Reference was made to asmall house in a section of the rooms, here is served to members of the lodge and to visitors liquid refreshments during the time the lodge is, in session. No money is paid for the same and the members can enjoy themselves in this direction as often as he pleases. These liquid refreshments consist of champagne, wines, the native liquors and beer. The lodge pays for the same and has them constantly on tap. Members' dues are paid but once a year, some years ago the entrance fee was very high, but has been considerably reduced within the past few years. This building as our readers may well know is liberally patronized during the session of the lodge, and more are to be found near it than in the lodge room. No meetings of the lodge are allowed to be held after dark except on festal occasions, when the session commences early in the day and lasts not later than 9 a.m. On these Masonic holidays, especially the feasts of the two St. Johns (Grand Lodge), the streets leading to the lodge are draped with flags of all nations, archies are erected inside the gates, festooned with beautiful flowers, cannons booming during the close of the festival every half hour, and if the festival extends until after dark the occasion is further enlivened by fireworks, and the music from some of the military bands, while in the enclosure may be found the members at work around the festal board. It may be started here, notwithstanding this free use of liquor, it is seldom that one sees any one under the influence of liquor. The A. and A. S. rite is the principal branch of the order here, there are a few lodges of the York rite. No chapters of the latter order, nor is the order, of Templar Masonry permitted. All Masonic bodies of both rites are under the authority of the Grand Orient (Grand Lodge). Another surprising feature that one alone will meet in Halti, and which you will find nowhere else, that nearly every man in the middle walks of life, as well as in the upper or official circles, is a Mason. Another which is worth mentioning and which places this country in strong contrast with all other countries without exception, in the Republic of Halti, the Romanish Church is the predominate evangelical church, while all denominations are allowed and receive aid from the national treasury of the country. No man can be a president of the country unless he is a member of this church or friendly to it, nor can he be president unless he is a Mason, two facts that are diametrically opposite to each other, and which will not be found in another country in Christendom. The president of Halti is termed the grand protector of the order and is above the grand master, and is represented by one of his alde-decamps at each session of the Grand Orient. AMONG THE MASONS. A number of the lodges have failed to forward election returns.. Do so at once. Lodges behind with dues for the orphans' home should forward same without delay. Increased reports in membership and finance are expected of each lodge at the coming grand lodge communication. PIERCE UNDER GRAFT CHARGE. United States Minister to Norway Accused of Crooked Dealing. Herbert H. D. Pierce, new United States minister to Norway, and formerly assistant secretary of state, is again in the public eye because of charges made against him. He was accused Monday by Professor H. W. Elliott of Clyveland, Ohio, before the house committee on ways and means of having been guilty of misconduct while representing the United States government at The Hague in the settlement of claims resulting from the seizure of a sealing vessel by the Russian government. The charge is that Mr. Pierce not only represented this government, but did business on his own hook and represented the owners of the vessel. WQMAN UNDER HEAVY BOND. Mrs. Guinn Held for Grand Jury in Sum of $15,000. Charged with having hired an assassin to put her husband to death, Mrs. Abbie Guinn appeared in a justice court at McCays, Tenn., Monday. An immense crowd, including friends of the accused woman and people with idle curiosity, flocked to the court room. When the case was called, her attorney promptly waived preliminary hearing. Bond of $15,000 was thereupon fixed for her appearance before the grand jury at the regular term of the circuit court, which meets at Benton, Tenn., the third Monday in May. MRS. SAGE'S PERSONAL TAXES. New York Assessors Will Call Upon Her for $810,000. The New York tax list, just made public, has several interesting features. Chief of these is the fact that the assessors have written down the personal fortune left by Russell Sage at $50,000,000. This is easily the biggest individual personal tax ever recorded in the city's boks. Sage, in his life time, was assessed at $2,000,000. Mrs. Sage, to whom was left practically all of the Sage fortune, is assessed on $5,000,000 in her own name. If the two statements stand, Mrs. Sage will have to pay something like $810,000. NEW JOB FOR DENHAM. Well Known Railroad Man to Be Manager of Tampa Northern. A special from Tallhassee, Fla. says; W. B. Denham has tendered his resignation as manager of the Georgia, Florida and Alabama railway, to take effect February 1, and will assume entire management of the Tampa Northern railway, being constructed from Tampa to Atlanta. New Spanish Minister Slated. New Spanish Minister Slated. It is expected that King Alfonso will at once sign the nomination of Ramon Fina as Spanish minister to the United States. Senator Cologan, who was appointed minister some time ago, but has never presented his credentials, is to be transferred to Mexico. =)
