AN OCEAN HORROR
Steamer Goes Down and 150 People Find Watery Grave.
Frightful Disaster Occurred Off New England Coast, and Freezing Weather Added to Tortuces of Victims of Icy Waves.
A marine disaster with an appalling loss of life, and entailing suffering almost beyond the limit of human endurance came to light Tuesday, when a lifeboat of the Joy line steamer Larchmont, bound from Providence to New York, drifted into the harbor at Block Island, R. L.
In the boat were several bodies of men, who had died from the effects of long hours of exposure to a death-dealing temperature. In the boat also were eleven men, whose sufferings were so intense that they seemed oblivious to the fact that death was in their midst, and that they had escaped only by virtue of their ability to withstand the rigor of ley weather when in an open boat at sea.
The boat brought a tale of disaster that has rarely been equaled in New England waters, and it is believed that when the final count is made it will. Be found that not less than 50 lives were lost. Following closely in the wake of the solitary life boat, came the bodies, boats and rafts washed upon the beach by angry waves. Owing to the condition of the survivors, it was impossible to get from them an estimate of the loss of life. From seventy to one hundred and fifty persons went to their death, the latter figure being nearer correct.
The steamship officials estimated that about 150 passengers and a crew of fifty were on board the steamer when she left Providence Monday night. Forty-eight bodies reached the shore Tuesday, and 19 were alive when taken from the lifeboats. Taking the estimated figures of the steamship officials, and the known list as a basis, there are still many persons to be accounted for. The only positive evidence of the steamer's victims is lying at the bottom of Block Island Sound. The list of passengers and crew, handed to the purser just before the steamer left Providence, was locked in a safe, and it was not recovered.
The cause of the accident has not been satisfactorily explained. It occurred just on Watch Hill, about 11 o'clock Monday night, when the three-masted schooner, Harry Knowlton, found from South Amboy for Boston, with a cargo of coal, crushed into the steamer's port side amid ships Captain George McVey of the Larchmont declares that the Knowlton suddenly swerved from her course, lifted up into the wind, but crashed into his vessel.
The steamer, with a huge hole torn in her side, was so seriously damaged that no attempt was made to run for shore, and she sank to the bottom in less than half an hour. The Knowlton, after she had backed away from the wreck, began to ill rapidly, but her crew manned the pumps.
and kept her afloat until she reached a point at Quonochontaug where they put out in the lifeboat and rowed ashore. There were no fatalities on the schooner.
A majority of those on the Larchmont had retired for the night, and when the collision occurred thers were few with the exception of the crew prepared for the weather which prevailed.
BIG COTTON RECEIFS.
Galveston Port Breaks All Local Records to Date.
Galveston, Texas, has broken all local records in cotton receipts. Since September 1, Galveston has received 3,003,458 bales of cotton, and the uptake continues to arrive at an average of 20,000 bales per day. The record for the entire season of 1905-06 was 2,656,000.
BIDS WILL BE ASKED
For Construction of Georgia Building at Jamestown.
W. N. Mitchell, chairman of the Jamestown commission, announces that bids for the work, on the Georgia building at the exposition will be advertised for at once; plans and specifications, are ready, and as soon as the bids are all in the contract will be let.
Mr. Mitchell also announces that the board of aldermen of Columbus has ratified the gift of $1,000 to the Georgia building fund.
A CROSSING HORROR.
Train of Wild Cars Strikes Trolley Loaded with Workmen and Four Men Are Mangled to Death.
A cut of wild cars shifted by a Southern freight engine crashed into a crowded street car at the crossing at Twenty-seventh street and First avenue in Dirmingham, Ala., about 7:15 o'clock. Friday night, with the result that four people were instantly killed and many others badly injured.
The car struck was a trailer filled with people returning to their homes at East Lake. The trailer is reserved for men who wish to smoke, and no women were on it. The trailer was turned completely over, and pushed for some distance.
The Twenty-seventh street crossing is a veritable death trap, more than a dozen accidents having happened there. It is at a number of furnaces, among them being those of the Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron company. The street cars at this point have to cross about a dozen tracks, those of the Louisville and Nashville, the Southern and other roads. The engineer of the freight train, R. L. Carnes, says that he had a heavy train of coal cars, and that the cut broke loose accidentally and struck the street car. The judge has actively alided the police in the capture of Italian lawbreakers recently.
Judge Corese was 48 years of age, and of Italian descent. His office was at 23 Passaic street. His son, Robert, received the infernal machine, which came from Newark, and was delivered by an American Express wagon. Robert handed the package to his father, who removed the outside wrapper. Inside was another wrapper of paper, made fast with a strap. The judge rested the package on the desk and pulled the end of the strap toward him, so as to loosen the tongue of the buckle. The moment he did so there was an explosion.
A hoe 6 feet square was torn in the floor, and at the desk was driven down into the cellar and torn to pieces. The boy was hurled into a corner, and seriously bruised and burned.
Judge Corese had both legs and both arms broken, his face and body torn and lacerated, and his back apparently broken. He was removed to St. Joseph's hospital, where his antemortem statement was made.
MORE CASH FOR EMPLOYEES.
Norfolk and Western Railway Grants Increase in Wages.
The following wage increases which have been granted to employees by the Norfolk and Western Railway company were announced in Roanoke, Va., Friday.
Engineers from $4.25 to $4.60 per day; yard enginemen, from $3.75 to $4.25 per day; brakemen, from $1.65 to $2.10 per 100 miles, and 21 cents per hour for overtime; passenger brakemen from $1.20 to $1.35 per 100 miles.
Clay is Asked by Republicans Not to Press Phillipine Resolution. An effort has been made by the administration senators to induce Senator Clay not to press consideration of his resolution, calling upon the secretary of war to furnish detailed information as to military operations and expenditures in the Phillipine Islands since 1902. They contend the resolution is inopportune.

FOR INSULTING FARMER'S WIFE.
East Point, Ga., Man is Shot to Death
in Public Road.
According to a report-received from Machen, Ga., C. P. Dorsey of East Point, was shot and instantly killed by Emmett Newton, a well known young farmer of Jasper county.
The tragedy occurred in a public road near Machen and is said to have been the result of Dorsey having made improper proposals to Newton's wife, while alone at her home Saturday. There were several eye-witnesses to the killing.
SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 16. 1907.
OUSTS DISPENSARY
South Carolina State Liquor Institution is Abolished.
LOCAL OPTION CINCHED
Governor, Fires Members of Dispensary Board Who Are Charged With Gross Mismanagement and Crooked Dealing.
The South Carolina state senate, Saturday, by a vote of 21 to 15, passed the Carey bill abolishing the state dispensary system and substituting a local option system between county dispensaries and prohibition.
This ends South Carolina's experiment of 14 years with the state dispensary system of handling whiskey and is a distinct defeat for the dispensary element which has had the leadership of Senator Tillman.
The house has already passed the local option bill by a large majority and the bill will become law as soon as signed by Governor Ansel, who was elected on a platform carrying out this local option idea.
Governor Ansel at once removed from office the three members of the state dispensary board who were accused by the legislative committee of gross mismanagement and illegal purchase of whiskey.
These members are J. M. Rawlingzon, of Richland; J. B. Wylie, of Chester, and John V. Black, of Colleen.
The removal came only a few days before the board would be removed from office by the bill abolishing the dispensary, which the legislature has passed.
SOUTH WILL GET SHARE.
Rockefeller's Mammoth Gift Will Be Widely Distributed.
'A New York dispatch says: Frederick T. Gates, chairman of the general education board to which John D. Rockefeller gave $2,000,000 a few days ago, says that the income from this gift and the income from Mr. Rockefeller's prior gift of $11,000,000 will be used to increase the resources of various educational institutions in this country within the next decade, by from $200,000,000 to $250,000,000. This is to say, the board will aim to stimulate local pride in and generosity toward public institutions and colleges throughout the nation, and its distribution of the income will usually be conditioned upon the raising of larger amounts by the recipient.
It is understood that the idea of the elder Rockefeller is to make his future benefactions through his son. This is said to be indicated by his having made the gift of last Thursday through the junior Rockefeller. It is probable that the younger Rockefeller will devote most of his time hereafter to administering the benevolence of his father. As an immediate result of this big gift, the board will extend its agricultural demonstration work to all of the Southern states. It is predicted that this work, which consists in conducting model farms on educational lines, will mean the agricultural rejuvenation of the South.
VALE NEW YORK CHINATOWN.
Home of the Celestials Will Be Replaced by a Park.
The heart of New York's Chinatown was officially wiped out at a meeting of the board of estimates, when a new park was authorized, it is understood, on the block bounded by the Bowery, Doyers, Peil and Mott streets.
Much of the property is owned by Chinese firms and individuals. The tract includes the Chinese theater, the Chinese joss house, in which most of the Chinese worship, and has long been considered the most picturesque pest spot in the city.
BANKER HAS LEVANTED
And Big Shortage in Accounts Has Been Unearthed in His Wake.
A high officer of the Savings Bank of New Britair, Conn., states that there is a big shortage in the accounts of William F. Walker, the missing treasurer of the bank, and that the bank's own officers up to soon had discovered a shortage of $150,000.
The examination of the bank's affairs will be continued and the officers say, doubtless the shortage will be found to be much larger.
THREE PAPERS NAMED
By President for Exclusion from the Mails for Printing Disgusting De-
A Washington special says: President Roosevelt notified the members of the cabinet Tuesday morning that he would personally favor excluding from the malls two New York newspapers and one Brooklyn paper, which he named, for publishing in detail the "foul, disgusting particulars" of the Thaw trial.
The proposal provoked a very earnest discussion, but it was the opinion of the president's advisers that such damage as the case would work upon the public morals had already been wrought, and that by the time the exclusion order could be carried into effect, the case would practically be at an end.
The three papers mentioned by the president published almost entire the recital of Evelyn Neabit Thaw on the witness stand, and one paper used a stenographic report.
Postmaster General Cortelyou has given it as his opinion that it will be impossible to bar the publications above referred to from the mails. He says it is impossible to establish any fixed regulation in similar cases, as no two cases are alike, and each case must stand on its own merits. It is likewise recognized that in nearly all such cases the damage has been done before it is possible to get official action.
Mr. Cortelyou said that he had turned over to the attorney general papers of some similar cases, together with court decisions, with a request that he read them. Mr. Cortelyou will discuss the matter later with the attorney general.
The authorities of the postoffice department practically admit that it is too late to do anything that can have a bearing on the publication of the Thaw trial, as by the time the attorney general has looked carefully into the case the trial will probably be nearing an end.
Attorney General Bonaparte will make a careful examination of the papers submitted to him, which include a number of newspapers containing verbatim reports of the trial, before he renders an opinion.
TO BAR JAP COOLIES.
Their Exclusion Proposed to Congress by President Roosevelt.
President Roosevelt, through Secretary Root, has proposed to Speaker Cannon and to the chairman of the senate and house committees on immigration, and other republican leaders in congress, that a clause be inserted in the immigration bill now pending in congress, which will bar Japanese coole labor from the United States. Mayor Schmitz' San Francisco delegation favors such a provision.
It is admitted at the Japanese emassy that representations have been exchanged between the Japanese ambassador, Viscount Aoki, and Secretary Root, but the nature of the communications are kept secret.
SEABOARD PRESIDENT DEAD.
Alfred Walter, Veteran Railroad Manager, Passes Away in New York. President Alfred Walter of the Seaboard Air Line, died at his home in New York Tuesday. Mr. Walter was 56 years of age and a railroad man all his life. He began as a soldier man on the Allegheny Valley railroad in 1872 and worked gradually upward until he held important positions with several of the big eastern lines.
WALKER IS CHAIRMAN
Of Committee Which Will Handle
Cotton Association Funds.
Having authorized at the Birmingham convention last January to establish a general finance committee, President Harvie Jordan of the Southern Cotton Association was announced the appointment of Jozu B. Walker of Sparta, Ga., president of the First National Bank of Sparta, as chairman of this responsible committee.
LOTTERY GAME BROKEN UP.
Apparently the government has won an extraordinary victory as a result of the prosecution it has instituted against the managers and agents of the Honduras lottery. Suits have been brought in various places throughout the country, one indictment has been piled upon another and things have been made so hot for the lottery people that they have thrown up the sponge and have gone out of business.
FOR STATE RIGHTS
Pleads for State of California In Position Taken In School Row at 'Frisco'—Laws of State Su-
Federal encroachment on state rights, with the Japanese school question as the principal illustration, was the subject of an address to the senate Friday by Senator Frazier of Tennessee. Mr. Frazier said that this was not a question that, concerned California, but concerned the right of every state to control its domestic affairs.
If the federal government by treaty could rob a state of the right to control its own school system, the last stronghold of local self-government was destroyed. If a treaty could force Mongolians into the white schools of California, a like treaty could force the negroes of Cuba, Santo Donlingo, Hayttl and the Congo into the schools of Tennessee in defiance of the laws for the separation of the races.
He expressed the highest admiration for the Japanese, but said that the action of California furnished no pretext for a quarrel with that country. The school board of San Francisco had simply executed a state law providing for the education of white and Japanese children in separate schools. It had been decided over and over again that states had a perfect right to make such separation. That the state of California was but exercising its legal and constitutional power. He denied with emphasis that this government had ever undertaken by treaty to interfere with the constitutional rights of California.
"I challenge any one to find in the treaty a word guaranteeing to Japanese residents the right to enter public schools of the states at all, much less to enter them in defiance of state laws and regulations.
"The United States government cannot compel a state to create public schools at all. The schools were creatures of state laws, maintained by state taxation and subject only to state control. The right of residence guaranteed to the Japanese implied the right to work and make a living, but not to go to school. But even if the right of residence did carry with it the right to enter public schools," he added, "it did not carry any exception from the right of separation in the schools. The treaty with Japan provided that the Japanese 'must conform themselves to the laws police regulations of the country like native citizens.' Can it be contended that Japanese aliens have acquired higher privileges than they would have as citizens of the United States?"
He contended that the president ought to have followed the example of Mr. Blainie in the case of the lynching of Italian citizens in New Orleans. There was a treaty with Italy, which guaranteed protection to Italian citizens, but when the Italian government complained Mr. Blaine informed it that Italian citizens had no higher rights than American citizens and that the right to punish for murder was the exclusive province of the states where the crime was committed.
Mr. Frazier said he did not believe we had reached the point where we must apologize for our constitution or change its character by construction at the dictation of a foreign power.
Our trouble with Japan, he said, had its origin in our colonial policy which had inspired a fear in the nations of the east that we were attempting to dominate, the politics and commerce of the Orient. Mr. Frazier dwelt at length on the recent speech of Secretary Root, which he declared to be a threat to wipe out state lines and absorb all power of the state into the government.
"When," he said, "the states are deprived of the right to judge whether and how far they shall exercise their powers we cease to be a free people. The secretary intimated that this usurpation of power was necessary to control the trusts. Before seeking to rob the states of their power, let the federal government use its own. Let it reduce the monstrous tariff which had built up and was protecting the trusts."
It was not necessary, said Mr. Frazier, to make the rights and powers of states conform to a standard set up by the chief executive alone.

NO.20.
Delegation of Californians Hold Conferences With President Roosevelt—Both Sides Juggling.
A Washington dispatch says: President Roosevelt and the authorities of San Francisco, at a meeting at the White House Saturday, reached the mutual understanding that the California-Japanese school question can be adjusted without danger of any serious difficulty with Japan. The details of the adjustment are not agreed upon.
It was authoritatively stated after the meeting that the one accomplishment of the conference was a mutual understanding that a settlement could be reached which was satlyfactory, and which would leave no ground for trouble making complaint by Japan.
The California delegation came to Washington, it is stated, with nothing in the nature of an ultimatum, but rather open to the consideration of any basis of settlement which the administration might propose. The conference was attended by President Roosevelt and Secretary Root, representing the administration, and by Mayor E. E. Schmitz, the members of the Board of education, the superintendent of schools and the assistant city attorney of San Francisco, representing the educational interests of the city. Mayor Schmitz, in speaking of the conference, said:
Nothing has been decided and no proposition is pending. between now and the time of the next conference our delegation will prepare an outline of its case. We are prepared to receive and consider proposals from the president and the secretary of state, or to make proposals."
Two Sunday Conferences.
Mayor Schnitz and the members of the San Francisco school board were in conference twice Sunday, and formally agreed on the policy they will pursue, in connection with the question of the Japanese and the San Francisco schools. The mayor and members of the board have refused to make any statement as to what position they will take.
More than 300 telegrams were received by Mayor Schmitz and the members of the board during the day, urging them to stand firm for the exclusion of the Japanese coolies from the United States. A telegram received by Mayor Schmitz from the president of the California Exclusion League, in part, reads:
"Morning papers announce in big headlines that Schmitz deserts labor for Japanese, mayor and school board make complete surreuder. We cannot and will not believe it. Exclusion League demands exclusion by net of congress, treaty will not exclude. Sovereign rights must not be bartered away by promises, and should not be basis for compromise. We will not yield one lota of our rights as a sovereign people regardless of cost or consequence."
Mayor Schmitz's reply to this telegram, in part, follows:
"Telegram received. Announcement of morning papers absolutely false. Have made no arrangement up to date of any kind. Story false like all other statements made about me. Have refused to give any statement to reporters. President has refused also. Conference completed, and is showing friendly spirit. I am a Californian trying to do my duty to my state. Cannot succeed if hampered by hostile press of San Francisco."
The Californians will present their views to President Roosevelt in writing. Secretary Root spent two hours at the White House-Sunday night discussing the school question with the president and it can be authoritatively stated that the president will assure Mayor Schmitz and the school board that if they will agree to end the agitation by abolishing the Oriental school the president will. In turn, use his influence to secure a treaty with Japan that will exclude the coolie from this country.
FIRST TRIP WAS HIS LAST.
Baggagemaster and Fireman Lose Their Lives in Wreck.
Limited passenger train No. 203 on the St. Louis and San Francisco railroad, due in Birmingham, Ala. Saturday morning from Kansas City and Memphis, struck a broken rail eight miles west of Birmingham at 5:30 a.m. and with the exception of the rear sleeper, the entire train was preracked. The dead are: Baggagemaster White, who was making his first train, and Fireman G. McElmurray, the latter being burted under the locomotive which turned over.

Roosevelt and Georgia Day.
So that they may be in Norfolk, Va, when President Roosevelt makes his address on "Industrial Progress of the South" on June 10, Georgia Day, at the Jamestown exposition, June 5 to 11 have been fixed for the encampment of the cadets of the West Point Military Academy at the exposition.
Georgia's income from all sources in taxes for 1906 was $4,505,409.74 and expenditures $4,714,509.64.
Figures were compiled the past week in the office of the state treasurer. Among the large expenditures was $1,735,000 for public schools; for pensions, $908,000, which included $18,800 loaned by Colonel Jim Smith; for public debt, $420,418, which includes interest and retiring $100,000 in bonds; for state sanitarium, $360,000; salaries, including capitol officials, judges and solicitors, $157,432; for the legislative pay roll, $69,465.
Endorsed Congressman Livingston. The executive committee of the Georgia Industrial Association, composed of owners and operators of spinning mills, in this state, met in Atlanta the past week and adopted a resolution endorsing the action of Hon. Lon F. Livingston in his fight on the New York Cotton Exchange. The members present discussed the child labor law and agreed that it must be strictly observed by every mill in the state. The next annual meeting will be held at Warm Springs next June.
Public Roads Bonds Defeated.
An election was held in Cobb county on February 9 upon the question of the issuance of $21,000 of bonds for the improvement of the public roads. The vote was very light all over the county.
There are 2,800 votes in the county and it required two-thirds of this number in order that the bonds should carry. In Marietta alone it required 900 votes.
The result of the election was the overwhelming defeat of the proposed bond issue.

It is charged that the woman and her son beat to death with sticks Jack Collins, who was said to be looking for the place where, it is claimed, his son had been buying blind tiger liquor, and in searching for which he went to the Brooks home.

Price of Cotton Too Low.
M. L. Johnson, president of the Georgia division of the Southern Cotton Association, has issued a statement in which he insists that the best grade of cotton should bring not less than 12 1-2 cents.
He gives interesting quotations, showing the prosperous condition of the mills, and contends that cotton is worth the price named "either from the standpoint of the grower, from that of supply and demand, from the price at which, goods are selling, or from the profits which the mills are making."

Daughters Offer Gold Medal.
Daughters Offer Gold Medal.
The Daughters of the Confederacy have offered a gold medal to the student who writes the best essay on the subject, "The Confederate Navy in the War Between the States." This is an opportunity for teachers of history to utilize knowledge, to inspire interest in a specific subject, and to encourage research work that whatever is written may reflect an unbiased, accurate knowledge. There were comparatively few who entered a similar contest last year. Teachers are being urged to encourage their pupils to write essays for the competition.
In court at Gainesville, after being out several hours considering the case of sixteen-year-old Harry Strickland, charged with the murder of his older brother, Newton Strickland, a mistrial was declared and the jury discharged.
This leaves Harry Strickland in jail until the next regular term of the court, unless he makes bond.
Harry is alleged to have killed his brother in a quarrel while the latter, it is charged, was advancing on him with a knife.
The mother of the boys plead justification for her son who did the killing. She said he had been cruelly treated by his older brother, as bruises on his body went to show.
Anent Bacon's Appointment.
When Governor Terreil was shown the telegram from Washington, raising the question as to whether or not
P. EDWARD PERRY, Vice President.
he could legally appoint Senator A. O. Bacon for the interim from March 3 to June 22, he said:
"I am inclined to the idea that if any question should be raised as to Senator Bacon's legal right to the interim appointment, that, technically, the Washington view of the matter is correct. But the matter will be up to the United States senate. A3*I have stated before, I will name him for the intervening time, and if the issue comes up, with an extra session, why the senate must settle it.
"I am in hopes that no question will be raised that will deprive Georgia of one of her senators for even that brief time. But it is an interesting situation."
***
Educational Exhibit at Jamestown. A subject which is creating much interest in educational circles at this time is the educational exhibit at the Jamestown exposition this summer. Many counties are planning to make complete exhibits, and separate schools will enter into this work also. Putnam county has already planned its exhibit, and has it well under way. The idea is unique, and likely to excite much attention, as it will consist of the cotton plant with the various parts, and all products made from cotton. Other states will, of course, have educational exhibnts, and Georgians are anxious to have theirs compare favorably with those of other states.
The state school commissioner, Hon. W. B. Merritt, has charge of Georgia's educational exhibit, and he is encouraging all educators to commence work at once
Plans for School Building.
One of the most helpful pamphlets that has been issued by the department of education is the one entitled "Plans and Specifications for School Houses." This pamphlet is the outgrowth of the manifest interest at this time in the building of good houses, and of the numerous inquiries daily received asking for plans, suggestions, and comparative prices of building.
There are in the pamphlet many fine cuts of high school buildings, rural schools, one, two, three and four rooms, with floor plans-for the same, deflective and good heating and ventilating systems, a country school library, a school garden and a consolidated school. These cuts tell their own story, and must impress those who are fortunate enough to secure a copy of this excellent booklet.
The automobile has already revived in a measure, the glories of the country tavern, and its users are powerful agents for highway improvement.
This company is duly chartered under the laws of the State of Georgia, and has complied with all requirements of the State Insurance department, therefore all policy holders are protected with all the safeguards that the strict insurance laws of this State seek to protect its citizens.
Its affairs are directed and managed by Negro men of the city of Savannah of leading standing, and whose character and reputation are of such as to command the respect and confidence of all the people of that community. The same men that manage this Society are the ones that organized and are conducting the affairs of the first successful Negro Savings Bank in this state, therefore we can readily see that by connecting themselves with this Insurance company their interest will be in safe hands.
By comparing our rules and benefits with other first class companies it will be seen that we offer the most liberal inducements with the largest sick, accident and death benefits to our members than any other company in this business.
That we pay our claims promptly can be testified to by the thousands of our satisfied members.

THE LAST ROAD.
I.
Across the silence of the hills
(O distant hills of dream!)
The Piper's magic music shrills
And ripples like water
Beyond the moor, beyond the fen,
Thin, tremulous, and silver clear,
It pierces to the souls of men.
It calls—and they must hear.
II.
The voice of all the crowded town
(O voice of tears and laughter!)
The Piper's charmed note shall drown,
They have and follow after.
By its wild hats their feet are drawn
To walk a way they do know,
Whatever heart be left to mourn,
It calls—and they must go.
III.
They leave their hearts' desire behind,
(O witching tune the Piper plays!)
None know what they may hope to find,
What waits beyond the trackless ways;
No grief can hold, no love can keep,
No cold that pierces dim;
Whatever heart be left to weep.
The Piper calls—they follow him.

The Hero of the Brigade
BY FRANCESCO
Mike was the pet of the fire brigade men. He was only ten, quite a little boy in fact, but he liked to be considered a man. His father had belonged to the fire brigade, and he died from wounds inflicted while endeavoring to save the inmates of a burning house. His mother had died from the shock, and had left behind her little baby boy, Mike, when he was only a few days old.
Another fireman's wife had taken the tiny fellow to nurse with her own children, and he had been called Michael, after his father. As he grew up he loved to go to drill with the brigade men, and to watch them cleaning the brass of the big fire engines and escapes. He would run, fetch and carry for the reward of hearing some story about people rescued from burning houses, and so on. If any boy were liable to be spoilt, that boy would have been Mike, but it seemed impossible to spoil. He was always obedient to his foster-parents and teachers, and unselfish toward the children when he played with them.
Mike's ambition was to go on the fire engines with the men when they were called to action. He had often pleaded to be allowed to go, but in vain.
One night as he lay dreaming, a strange light seemed to fill the room through the window from outside. Tilen the cries and shouts of men and women from the street below filled his ears. Something was on fire! For a moment his brain, grew dizzy, and he felt afraid, for he knew that the fire must be near. Then he jumped up and looked out of the window.
The fire station was built with two great wings from the main building, and between them was a large courtyard. In this courtyard Mike could see a throng of people looking up toward the house, their faces lit by some light which came from above—whence he could not tell. With trembling hands he pushed up the window and looked up. The flames came from the roof of the very building he was in. The fire was quite close to him.
When the people saw Mike at the window they gave a great shout.
The little fellow looked down on the great seething mass of faces and then above and around at the huge flames leaping and jumping higher and higher. They seemed to be closing in all around him. He wondered how it was he had been left there alone, when a child's cry of fear made him turn around to see little Willie, a child of three, come through his bedroom door. As the door was opened a volume of dense smoke poured in, and beyond Mike could see the angry red flames that curled up and up. For a moment the smoke blinded him, then he rushed forward and slammed the door to, clasping the little sobbing boy in his arms.
"I're so fwightened," Willie whimmered.
"Hush! hush!" said Mike soothingly to the little fellow, who was motherless like himself and a great favorite. "Mike will take care of you."
This he said with great courage, but feeling as if he were telling a story, for he was perplexed and bewildered and saw no way of escape.
He took Willie to the window and cailed and shouted to the people below. They called and shouted in return, and in the din and roar of voices Mike could scarcely hear what they said. It seemed as if they were bldding him have courage, that the fire escapes were all in use on the other wing of the building, and that help was coming.
He tried to be brave for Willie's sake, who was quite happy now he was no longer alone. He clapped his hands with glue as he saw the flames leaping up and laughed in childish mirth as he watched the people below.
"What are they all doing, Mike?" he asked.
And Mike, who saw the smoke slowly creeping in under the bedroom door, and heard the hissing and crackling of the burning, wood, laughed, too, watching all the time for the promised help to come.
Then he saw the firemen take a large blanket and hold it under the window where he stood, and which was three stories high. He knew what that meant well enough; he had not lived in a fire station all his life for nothing. It meant that he was to leap from the window in
to the blanket, which would be powered as he reached it.
For himself he was not afraid, but for Willie. He was such a little chap, and could never be persuaded to jump. He could not throw him into the blanket, for he was but small himself, and he knew instinctively that his strength would not be equal to the task of alming straight.
With a cry, almost of agony, and a tightening of his arms around Willie's baby form, he hurled himself into the space below.
Cheer after cheer arose from the anxious spectators, but Mike heeded them not, for he was quite stunned by the fall. When he came to it was to find himself and Willie in a warm room and a cosy fire, while his foster mother was bending over him and trying to get him to drink some cordial.
"Brave boy!" she whispered; and Mike's heart leaped at the words. Then she explained to him how he had been left behind in the hurry and confusion of the fire alarm. She had taken her two children away, meaning to return for him and Willie. But the fire had gained ground so rapidly that she had been unable to do as she wished.
"But you are safe now, my darling, and little Willie, too. You saved his life, Mike!"
"Oh, not!" cried Mike, flushing all over.
"Yes," she returned; "if you had not carried him in your arms he would have, dropped to the ground through fright, and been dashed to pieces, and you risked your life by carrying him, too. Every one says so."
But Mike would not have it. "There was nothing else to do," he answered simply, and said the same when he was grown up and a fireman, with more than one medal from the Royal Humane Society for saving lives at the risk of his own—Cassell's Little Folks.
A REMARKABLE CAVE.
Was It Hewn Out of Rock by a Smith
For a Smith?
To the majority of residents in Edinburgh and the vicinity the remarkable Gilmerton Cave is unknown, and unvisited even if known by hearsay. We are not, however, the first to notice the cave, for in 1752 the Rev. Thomas Whyte, then minister of Liberton, has the following story on record: "Here is a famous cave dug out of a rock by one George Paterson, a smith. It was finished in 1724, after five years' hard labor, as appears from the inscription on one of the chimney heads. In this cave are several apartments, several beds, a spacious table, with a large punch bowl, all cut out of the rock in the nicest manner. Here there was a forge, with a well and washing house. Here there were several windows, which communicated light above. The author of this extraordinary piece of workmanship lived in it for a long time with his wife and family, and prosecuted his business as a smith. He died in it about the year 1735. He was a feau, or feodary, and consequently the cave he formed and embellished so much, and the garden above it, were his own property, and his posterity enjoyed it for some time after his decease. His cave for many years was deemed a great curiosity, and visited by all the people of fashion."
Having procured the gate key and a couple of oil lamps, we unlock the door, and descend at once by a flight of twelve steps to the beginning of a long passage. On the right is the forge, indisputably enough, on the left the jamb of the first doorway. The main passage, which is about six feet high and three feet broad throughout, maintains a straight direction, roughly, westward for a distance of forty-one feet. It then turns abruptly to the northwest, and after expanding into three rounded chambers ends in a long passage, eleghteen feet long and very narrow, which is said to be the beginning of an underground communication with Craig-millar. At the foot of the entrance steps the doorway on the left loads into a partly straight sided chamber, which expands into two curved inner rooms, a ledge of the rock being left in each about eighteen inches to serve as seats or beds. All the hewn work throughout these chambers and passages has been done with an implement of iron, not chisel-shaped, but sharp pointed. The question arises—Is the story of George Paterson likely to be true? Can we find him in any records; local or other? Where was he buried? So remarkable a feat as the whewing but of a series of chambers in solid rock and the dwelling therein of a blacksmith and his family would surely help to keep green the record of the man who performed it. But the parish records are silent, and locally nothing more is known of Paterson than what is contained in the statement by the parish minister of 1782.
*Computing very roughly the amount of rock actually hewn and removed from the cave before the chambers and passages were in a fit state for habitation, we are confronted with the result that rock to the extent of half a million cubical feet has been thus displaced—probably an underestimate. Is it creditable that this quarrying was the work of one pair of arms, even if those arms drove the pick for several years? Judging the work from the standpoint of archæology also, we find that the Gilmerton Cave is only one of a large number of chambered and recessed hollows in similar rock, hewn in the same style, and with similar entrances, door jambs' and bar holes.—Edinburgh Scotsman.
The Farm
Peach Tree Localized.
The introduction of new varieties, budding, and the attacks of insects, as well as diseases formerly unknown, have curtailed the usefulness of the peach tree and confined it to certain localities. Budding or grafting the trees, whether apple, peach or pear, is now but a reproduction of the original variety, and may introduce all the imperfections as well as the advantages of the variety, to every portion of the country.
Milk Made at Milking.
It is claimed that when a cow giving a large quantity of milk has been slaughtered and every drop of milk gathered up, the largest amount ever found was about four quarts, hence milk is believed to be largely made during the time of milking, and the cow must be placed under favorable conditions at the time, if one does not get the regular quantity of milk. Do not think that the milk is already there, and all you have to do is to draw it out, says an authority. Only a small portion is in this state; most of it is there ready to be changed into milk, but it is not milk, and you must have things favorable to the cow to have this change.
For Tender Foliage.
Bordeaux mixture is made thus: Copper sulphate (blue vitriol), four pounds; quick lime, four pounds; water, to make fifty gallons. Use a tight barrel, such as for coal oil. Dissolve the copper in hot water. if wanted for immediate use; or place it in an old gunny sack and suspend it in the barrel two-thirds full of water, until it is all dissolved. In another vessel slake the lime, add water until it is of the consistency of milk, and when cool pour it into the copper solution, using a sieve to remove all coarse material. Stir this mixture and fill the barrel with water; it is then ready for use. For plants with tender foliage only one-half the amount of copper and lime should be used.
Treatment of Soil.
The soil will dry very rapidly and to a great depth if allowed to get hard and compact. There is but a small space left for air in solid soils, and from this fact they become hot and dry to a great depth in summer, while if air is present, as it is in loose soils (being such a poor conductor of heat), it will allow only a small portion of soil to become hot, which soon cools at night and is filled with a copious dew, not only retaining the moisture already in the soil, but also adding to it at a season when moisture is especially desirable. Newly set trees are always benefited by cultivation, because all their roots are surface roots and cannot thrive in a hot, dry, compact soil, hence the necessity of summer surface cultivation of newly set trees.
Green Food For Poultry.
The Cleaner found the late-sowed rye—intended as a cover crop for the garden to be turned under in spring—a most useful help in extending the green food season for poultry. Two or three times a week since grass was deadened by frost he has cut a supply to the poultry and they reilish it greatly, leaving their freshly-served morning mash for it. The only regret it that it was not sown a few weks earlier so that the clover would have been sufficiently tall to be, cut with a lawnmower. The seed should be sown at the last cultivating to give best results. In the-writer's case it was not sown until after pretty much everything had been removed from the ground—even potatoes. The last clipping was made Thanksgiving Day. Quite likely the green relish will be "down and out" after the cold snap.
Knowledge of the Soil.
We have but little more definite knowledge of the soil and the principles involved in its treatment than we had sixty years ago, says the Scientific American. Fertility is not nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium alone, though the potential value of any field, or State, or country, from the agricultural standpoint, is measured by these constituent elements in its soil, yet it has been demonstrated that soils which contain an abundance of these elements, and which are potentially capable of producing crops for centuries perhaps, are not capable of producing profitable crops without the addition of further amounts of these constituents. The chemical investigator is, therefore, obliged to take into consideration other facts than this. He must, if he would cover the whole field, know something of geology, of botany, of physics, of biology, of bacteriology, and of the other natural sciences, because chemistry alone is not capable of fully compassing the problem, thus the opportunity for specializing in any branch has been very great, and it is because of the broadness of the subject, and the opportunity, as already pointed out, and the necessity, also, for giving immediate help from the knowledge that we have that has prevented in a degree a broad study of the fundamentals essential for enabling geohumine progress to be made.
Mange in Cattle.
Mange in cattle is a contagious skin disease caused by parasites. Three forms of mange occur in cat-
title, viz: Sarcoptes, Psorosperm and Symbrotic. These forms are named after the variety of parasites which is the usual agent. Sarcoptes mange in cattle is uncommon, the other two being the most prevalent forms and these frequently exist together in the same animal. Cows are the most often attacked.
Symptoms—The most common gites of mange are the roots of the tail and the neck, especially the former. The psorotic form may spread all over the body, if treatment is neglected, but this is unusual. The biting of the parasite gives rise to an itchy condition of the skin, which causes the animal to rub itself against fixed objects, with the result that the hair over the affected parts gets rubbed off. On examining the skin a considerable amount of scurf may be seen, red and yellow blood scabs appear on the surface and there may be even abrasions, if the animal has, been rubbing against rough objects. If the psorotic form should spread over the body, the patient may waste away and become greatly reduced in condition.
In cases of this kind, however, it will often be found that the wasting is due to some serious internal trouble, such as tuberculosis, which reduces the animal's natural power of resistance to the less serious disease.
It has not infrequently been observed that cows appear to become cured spontaneously when turned out to grass in the spring. This usually means, however, that under open-air conditions the parasites do not increase at the same rate, hence the active symptoms are merely less marked. In the fall, when the animals are again stabled, the parasites which has persisted resume their activity and this may lead to the erroneous belief that re-infection has taken place.
Prevention—The affected parts on the animal's skin should be softened by washing with soap and warm water. After this has been done, the parts should be dressed with one of the common mange dressings, such as spirit of tar oil and sulphur. The dressings should be applied twice or even three times at intervals of ten days. For the serious and rebellious cases above mentioned veterinary advice should be sought. The litter from an infected animal should be removed each time after dressing and, the flooring and wood or other fittings should be sprayed with a five per cent. solution of carbolic acid in water.—W. R. Gilbert, Alberta, Can-
Insect Pests Easily Killed.
Destroying the winter homes is a most important detail in the control of our worst insect pests, many of which are easily attacked then, whereas in the active season they are hard to reach.
All insects pass through three or four stages in their development from the egg to maturity, and different insects pass the winter in different stages of existence; the grasshopper in the egg, the cutworm as a larva, the corn ear-worm as a pupa, and the white grub as a partly hardened May beetle. Late fall spading or plowing is the best method of controlling all these, though it may not be advisable for other reasons, yet where these four pests are very troublesome, it will usually be found the best method of exterminating them.
The eggs of the grasshoppers are laid just under the surface of the soil, and get so deeply buried that they either fall to hatch, or the young are unable to emerge the next spring.
In the fall the cutworms enter the soil to the depth of three or four inches, where they hollow out small oval cells, and in which they remain until the next spring. By breaking up these cells and throwing out the worms to the influence of the changeable weather conditions after they have commenced hibernating, many of them are destroyed.
In the same way the corn earworms, which are such nuisances upon the tips of the ears of sugar corn; enter the soil in the fall, and form cells similar to those of the cutworms, in which they transform to the pupa. stage. The pupae are easily killed by exposure to the weather, which is brought about by breaking up the cells in the digging.
The white grup is a pest of almost every garden crop, and very difficult to handle when its depredations are at their worst. The grub requires at least two seasons to become full grown, when it transforms to a pupa, and later to a beetle, the well-known May beetle or June bug, which flies in the lights and buzzes around the ceilings of rooms during the warm evenings of May and June. The beetles do not emerge from the soil until the following spring, existing during the winter in the earthen cells in a partially hardened condition, and without the brown color which exposure to daylight, soon gives them. In this condition they are peculiarly helpless, and if disturbed in late fall are readily killed. Wireworms, which are so bothersome by eating into seed corn, and necessitating replanting, may be attacked similarly.
Burying, as a result of fall spading, will destroy many other pests which pass the winter safely sheltered under rubbish, leaves, stalks, such like, which are to be found scattered over most gardens. -Indianapolis News.

A FAMOUS WOMAN—COUNTESS CARLISLE.
COUNTESS CARLISLE.
New World Head of the Women's Temperance Union.
To be known as Mrs. Rosalind Carlisle, instead of "My Lady," is the desire of the democratic Countess of Carlisle, who has recently been elected World W. C. T. U. President. Only the united protests and appeals of her entire family and consideration for their wishes have kept her from, long ago, abrogating the titles which are hers by both birth and marriage. The Countess was Lady Rosalind Frances Stanley, youngest daughter of Baron Stanley, of Adderley, before her marriage to the Earl of Carlisle, forty years ago. She has always been simple and unaffected in manner and style and the soul of kindliness and charity. She goes about among her tenants much as the late Queen Victoria did when on her visits to her favorite home, at Balmoral Castle, Scotland. The people are all known to her by name and all respect and love her.
The cares of a large family and households seems to have strengthened and developed Lady Carlisle's natural administrative genius. While she is known in England as a woman of most pronouncedly radical views on all subjects, she is respected as a splendid type of English womanhood. Her success in reclaiming several thousand acres of barren lands on the big family estate of Castle Harvard, at York, has attracted the attention of scientific agriculturists.
A FAMOUS WOMAN—
Lady Carlisle began her public life in the interests of woman's enfranchisement, of which she is a pioneer advocate. She has no neutral tints, but is straight-hued in all her efforts. The extermination of the liquor traffic is her ideal.
The accompanying portrait shows the Countess of Carlisle as she appears at the present time. The picture, however, does not do her justice. She has the rosy completion of the British matron and the genial smile and kindly look of the optimist and humanitarian. Although her figure approaches embonion, she carries herself with dignity and is a fine-looking woman. Lady Carlisle is about sixty years of age and at the height of her powers.

Handy Egg Rack.
The accompanying photograph shows an egg rack which I find of great convenience, as it enables the family to know on just what day the eggs on hand were laid, writes D. H. Buell in Suburban Life.
The idea was brought to my mind while getting a lot of eggs daily, as we occasionally had a spoiled one

on the table, due to the fact that all of the eggs, as fast as collected, were placed in an egg basket, there being no way of telling the oldest eggs from those just laid.
The rack is very simple, and any man handy with tools can put it together in a few hours. A cabinet-maker near me has made them for $1.25.

Warm Winters in Europe.
A Russian meteorologist, Woelkof, has been studying the temperature recorded at Stockholm, Sweden, for the 150 years which precede 1906. He finds that there is a disposition toward warm winters there about once in eight years. This period does not correspond with that of sun spot frequency or any other phenomenon external to the earth. Woelkof therefore attributes it to such changes in the distribution of air pressure as alter the direction of the prevailing winds. He has discovered that the situation at St. Petersburg corresponds rather closely to that of Stockholm, but he declares that when the winters are mild in Northern Europe they are usually severe in the south, and especially in the southwest

Possibly Frederick Donglass did as much as any of the abolishionists in the spreading of the sentiment that caused the freedom of the slaves. His birthday was Thursday, two days after that of the great emancipator.
YEARS ago it was seldom that a white man, especially of any standing, was brought to the courts and convicted of crimes in this section, but the sentiment in this respect is changing and it is not infrequent that our able and courageous Judge of the Superior Court sentence this class of criminals and deal with them less tenderly than his predecessors. In Thursday's News alone several cases were reported of white men convicted and sentenced for offences. J. B. Goodman was sent to the penitentiary for larceny after trust, John E. Myrick, a lawyer was fined for delaying court proceedings and a white doctor was sent to the chain gang for performing a criminal operation. Let this be kept up and the ratio of crime will be less in favor of our people.
Lincoln Memorial Service Lincoln memorial exercises were held by the students of Beach Institute and the First Congregational Sunday School, on Sunday night last at the First Congregational church There was a large audience in attendance. The program as published in THE TRIBUNE last week, was carried out in a manner pleasing to those who heard it. The remarks by Rev Cash, the address of Prof. MoIntosh and that of Prof Hurd were pregnant with thoughts of Lincoln and which would be helpful if inculcated by those present especially the younger ones The solo by Miss Ruth Williams, and the solo-anthem by Miss Adra Spencer and the students of the Beach were melodious, and Miss Henrietta C. Houstoun captivated her hearers with her sweet solo. "America" by the congregation, was inspiring.
Exercises similar to the above were held all over the country where the American Missionary Association holds forth.

Our Land and Our Lincoln
A beautiful land lay sleeping,
Under the smiling sky;
Fair land, in God's own keeping,
Broad plains, and mountains high.
Three thousand miles from sea to sea,
An empire's vast domain;
Grass covered plains, and forest tree,
Oceans of waving grain
Broad lakes and mighty rivers grand;
Mines filled with precious ore;
Foot hills built up of golden sand;
Of wealth, a boundless store.
A northland vigorous and strong
In earnest men and toil;
A southland filled with cheery song,
King Cotton's favored soil.
O'er the northland, shone the light
Of freedom's clear cut ray;
But o'er the south, a dimming blight
Of human bondage lay.
Mid southern mountains and fragrant pines
Of humble parents born,
Come one whose life refugient shines,
Like rising sun of morn.
A chosen child of God was he,
Ordained by Heaven above,
To set four million captives free
And thus proclaim God's love.
Through childhood, youth, to man-
hood's prime,
From right, he ne'er would swerve,
His aim, through every trying time,
To think, to work, serve.
"Abe Lincoln" was the homely name
They called this lowly lad,
"Abe Lincoln" still, when world wide
fame
Had made a nation glad.
When the great Union that he loved,
Was rent by mortal strain,
He, by God's help, her armies moved,
And closed the rent again.
With deeds, and words of counsel wise,
By thought and speech and pen,
He ever sought with glad emprise,
To right the wrongs of men.
May Lincoln's spirit ever brood
Over this land of ours,
An angel ministry of good,
A guide to ruling powers.
Oh beautiful land still sleeping
Under the smiling sky,
Rest still, in our God's own keeping,
And know that He is nigh.

Progress, peace and unity abound in our midst. The deacons are pushing their club work to a final finish, for the rally to-morrow. Everybody invited to worship with us, and help us to-morrow. Sickness is lessening in our ranks with only one funeral, Eya Mitchell. The pastor preached the closing sermon of the 47th Anniversary of Bathlehem Baptist Church Tuesday night. Both pastor and Mrs. May's mothers are visiting; one from Nashville Tenn., the other from St. Louis, Mo., Mr. R. O. May, the pastor's adopted brother is also with them. Pastor and family spent Tuesday on the Atlantic Ocean at Tyber. The pastor is now spending three hours a day in the Normal and Theological Institute at Beth-Eden of which Dr. Cannon is president. Dr. May teaches, Grammar, Preparation and Delivery of sermons, Christian Doctrine. Bible by books and Homilietics. Pastor will preach at both hours, Sunday, morning subject, "Love and Jealousy." Night subject "Moral attributes of God."

Ministers' Union.
The.Baptist Ministers' Union met on Monday last. Devotional exercises conducted by Rey. W. M. Barron. Sermonic Reports as follows: Rey. W. M.
true and, divining way," Rev. W. A Daughtry, Marti 17:4, "It is, God's Barron, Jno. 14:6, subject "Jesus, the throne." Rev. J. H. May, Ex. 41:3, subject, "Crossing the Red Sea." Rev. N. H. Whitmire, Phil. 4:16, subject "God supplies the need of his church through Christ." Rev. B. Malet, Isa. 6:21, subject, "Quench not the spirit." Rev. H. L. Haywood, Zech. 3:19, subject "The seven eyed stone." The meeting was very interesting and enjoyed by all the brethren.
The Evangelical Ministerial Union met Tuesday morning at St. Philip A. M. E. Church with Dr. J. A. Lindsay in the chair. Rev. J. S. Jenkins who is always on time led devotions. The Secretary called the roll and read minutes of last meeting. The large attendance showed that the brethren were gaining strength from the Union. Rev. James Jackson gave a splendid outline of his Sunday sermon and received flattering comments from all the brethren on his evident biblical information and preaching ability. The paper of Rev. R. V. Branch on "Should every sermon have for its object the saving of souls" was conclusive and clear cut. The Union was unanimous almost in the conclusion reached by the reader. The paper "Grievances and authority of the Scriptures" by Rev. J. C. Callegh was a strongly prepared document showing both scholarship and broad reading for the reader. This paper brought out the forces to the battle-field and etymological information stood in our midst until "Webster," "Wooster" "Buck" and the other great-makers crossed swords for satisfaction. Rev. R. V. Branch, B. S. Hannah, C. D. Johnson, J. S. Jenkins; J. Jackson, R. M. S. Taylor, E. Lowery, and that other discipline tried to harmonize the conflicting elements. Rev. W. H. Holmes was present and expressed great satisfaction in the Union. If you want to see the "boys" in their glory come to the Union. Rev. W. L. Cash being sick was missed by the Union. Come to the next meeting. You will get information. The progressive minister will be on hand.

God, the kind and everlasting ruler called from our m'dst one whose life we thought to have been long upon this earth, but in sight of Him who giveth and taketh was short, but where He commanded this dear old loving soul to ever dwell is that sweet eternal life, peace and everlasting happiness. There from the life that our beloved one is known to have lived by her many friends, is nothing to be doubted, but that she has gone there to dwell.
Mrs. McHardy was one who could and who did always make and maintain a host of friends. Just a few words having passed and friends were made and hard to be broken. She was a true and loving wife, a devoted mother, a friend to the friendless, a comfortter to those in distress and an ever willing christian church worker. She was as devoted to her dear husband and as loving and true to him at the end of the fifty-seven years as she was at the beginning. During the last moments of her life, she did all that her power and strength would allow her to console and make her husband comfortable. God in His infinite mercy was so kind to let them spend their fifty-seventh anniversary together Jan 29th and at 5 o'clock the next morning, she slept away at the command of the Almighty Greater, and departed this life to join those who have crossed that great river and now stand among the angels of purity, in that sweet eternal life, peace and happiness. She departed this life in her 79th, year. Elopened in years, and fully prepared for another state of existence, she passed on now to enjoy the reward of a life well spent on earth
She has been a true and faithful member of the church for 45 years with not a single blur against her name. She having joined the Second African Baptist Church in 1862, and remained there until her death. Her kind and Christian ways entailed a great many burdensome hearts during her days to seek her advice and that, and whatever else she could do she did it with the best of will. "As she lived she died." With that firm foundation of the salants of the Lord, and faith in His excellent word, her soul that on Jesus had leaned for repose. That soul—though hell should endeavor to shake, was strengthened and caused her to walk through the valley of the shadow of death without fear, and was upheld by the grace of the Omnipotent hand across the great river to spend a blest eternity with Saylour, Brother and Friend and to live triumphant in His grace.

In the Cuticura Remedies I found immediate relief and was soon sound and well. C. V. Beltz, Tippezano, Ind., Nov. 15, 1003."

Of Interest to Women
Every woman naturally should be healthy and strong, but a great many women, unfortunately, are not, owing to the unnatural condition of the lives we have been living in, a tired condition are prevalent amongst the women of to-day, and to relieve these conditions women rush to the druggists for a bottle of some preparation supposed to be a remedy, and nobody knows what. If they would just get a box of Braudreth's Pills, and take them regularly every night for 3 time, all their trouble would disappear, as these remedies are not a system. The same, dose has the same effect, no matter how long they are used.
Brandreth's Pills have been in use for over a century and are sold in every drug and medicine store, plain or sugar-coated.

POPUEAR SCIENCE
It is now possible to see and hear plants grow. In the apparatus of two Germans the growing plant is connected with a disk having in its centre an indicator which moves visibly and regularly, and this movement, magnified fifty times over a scale, shows the progress in growth.
Magnet windings of uninsulated wire are said to have proved feasible by the use of aluminum wire, the natural oxide upon which forms an effective insulation for moderate voltages. For over 200 volts, paper wound wet between the layers is effective, and for higher potentials, extra oxidation has been secured by dipping in a chemical bath.
It is reported from Paris that Professor, Behring has discovered a new method of sterilizing milk without boiling it or destroying any of its essential principles. The method is based on the powerful qualities of German perphydrol, simply oxygenated. One gram per litre of this substance is sufficient to destroy all noxious germs. Mjlk thus sterilized can be kept a long time.
According to recent investigations, the peculiar flavor that pleases smokers is largely due to the activity of certain bacteria while the tobacco is undergoing the fermentation stage of curing. Dr. Sucshisland, a German scientist, has cultivated germs taken from fine Cuban tobacco while fermenting and introduced them into inferior varieties of German tobacco. When the latter was cured connoisseurs could not distinguish it from the best Cuban brands.
Borings 1000 feet deep in New Orleans have encountered nothing more solid than mud, sand and a little thin clay; hence the problem of making safe foundations for the pliers of a gigantic railroad bridge which is soon to be built across the Mississippi near the city is a hard one for engineering science. The pliers will rest on timber caissons, each measuring over sixty feet by 126 and 140 feet high. The bottoms of these caissons will be 170 feet below the surface of the river.
"MOMENTUM IN VARIATION."
Explanation of Growth of Useless Animal Organs.
In many animals there are certain organs which, useful in their earlier stages, have apparently been so greatly developed as to become rather hindrances. The horns of certain deer, for example, useful as weapons of defense when smaller, have become so large as rather to handicap the animals in the struggle for life. The huge overgrown teeth, or tusks, of certain of the borr family may be cited as further examples. These are sometimes explained as organs which have been more useful in their present state under former conditions, and which have persisted through heredity. In the American Naturalist, however, F. F. B. Loomis brings forward another explanation. He thinks the growth of such organs is due to what he calls "momentum in variation." As a variation proceeds in a certain direction it acquires, like a body moving under the action of gravity, a momentum which may carry it past the stage of greatest utility. This factor in evolution, Mr. Loomis thinks, has not been assigned the importance it deserves.
Other evolutionists, however, have suggested that when an animal or plant has once started to vary in a given direction, it acquires a tendency to go on varying in that direction. And this, although the word momentum is not used, agrees with the above theory.
An Unexpected 'Bite.
One of the queerest experiences in catching trout that any man ever had was that at Moosehead Lake by an Attleboro sportsman named Williams. He was standing on the apron of the dnm at Wilson's fishing in the quick water below, and had met with fair success. Near the shore, on his right hand, in a little eddy, he noticed a barrel lying on its side in several feet of water. He wondered what it was there for, and was so curious that he left his fishing and went down to examine. He found that it was an old molasses barrel, and was lying so that he could see the bunghole.
Of course, the barrel was full of water, and the man had no idea there was a fish inside of it, but just for curiosity he dropped his hook through the hole, and no sooner had it landed there than the water was boiling; and the fisherman knew he had a trout on the other end. He played him until the fish was tired, and when he came to land him he could not get him through the hole. He secured a saw and sawed a piece out of the top of the barrel near the hole. The fish came out. It weighed three pounds, and was one of the handsomest squaretails caught in that section this year.
One of the guides said that the trout must have gone into the barrel when small, and had lived on bugs and worms which had taken up their abode inside.—Maine Sportsman.

Jenny Washington.
Philip Vickers Fithlan, a tutor at Nomini Hall, Virginia, in 1774, gives this description of Washington's niece, Miss Jenny Washington. Evidently she was a personable young lady, with all the graces of her time.
"Miss Washington is about seventeen. She has not a handsome Face, but is neat in her Dress, of an agreeable Size & well proportioned and has an easy winning Behaviour. She is not forward to begin a conversation, yet when spoken to she is extremely affable, without assuming any Girlish affectation-or pretending to he overcharge'd with Wit; She plays well on the Harpsichord & Spinet; understands the principles of Musick, & therefore performs her Tunes in perfect time, a Neglect of which always makes musick intolerable, but it is a fault almost universal among young Ladies in the practice; she sings likewise to her instrument, has a strong full voice and a well-judging Ear; but most of the Virginia Girls think it Labour quite sufficient to thump the Keps of a Harpsichord into the air of a time mechanically, & think it would be Slavery to submit to the Drudgery of acquiring Vocal Musick."

GUIDES CHILDREN
Experience and a Mother's Love Make Advice Valuable.
An Ills. mother writes about feeding children:

PRICE OF SUFFRAGE.
Committee Asked Enthusiastic Woman to Remit.
Mrs. Anna Bagley, who is visiting in this city, was once an enthusiastic woman suffragist in Wyoming. Her enthusiasm in the cause of her downtrodden sisters has waned almost to the vanishing point. She cast just one vote—"for Theodore Roosevelt for President," she says in the pride of her heart—and it came near costing her $75. She declares it isn't worth the money.
Wyoming, it must be remembered, is in the vanguard of American States in the march toward the universal franchise. In that Commonwealth a woman is every bit as good as a man, or better, and, moreover, she can prove it. She may not be able to chase a jackrabbit or coyote through the sage-brush quite so fast as her buckskinned lord, or cut such fancy figures with a bratat at a "round-up," but when it comes to wielding the ballot she will admit no inferiority.
Mrs. Bagley, while holding a position under the State Government in Cheyenne, exercised her right of suffrage with due solemnity. Soon afterward she moved to Great Falls, Mont., where the fact that she had once voted, mentioned casually during some small talk, became known among her friends. Much to her surprise, she became a heroine and had thrust upon her honors she had not counted on. The women of her immediate circle made much of one who enjoyed the full political rights thus far denied them, and at a little dinner she attended she found herself ostensibly labelled, "Montana's Only Woman Voter." There it was on her menu card in letters so big and bold that there was none so blind she could not bear witness to the fame of this guest. She bore her distinction modestly—somewhat diffidently, in fact.
After the lapse of a year or so Mrs. Bagley had called to her attention the fact that another election was about to be held in Wyoming, and the State—with a big "S"—needed her. Feeling sure of her party loyalty, the managers of the campaign wrote to her, offering her transportation if she wished to return and cast her ballot. This was declined with thanks, and she resigned herself to life in Montana, where the electoral sovereignty of mere man is absolute and undivided. But she continued to be an earnest believer in woman's rights until—until she was rudely awakened to the fact that her suffrage idol had feet, not of clay but of mud. The blow was delivered in this wise: Mrs. Bagley received from the head of the Wyoming Campaign Committee a letter reading something like this:
"Dear Madam—We beg to call your attention to the fact that a campaign is in progress in this State in which is involved not only the vary life of the party but the whole cause of good government, if not the safety of the Nation itself. We find ourselves pinched for funds with which to pay necessary campaign expenses and an allotment of the amount necessary has been made among those most interested in the success of the party. Your share has been fixed at $75. Please remit by check or money order."
Mrs. Bagley rubbed her eyes, and the beautiful dream of the political equality of the sexes vanished.—Chicago Record-Herald.
For Those Who Would Be Strong.
Everybody seeks health nowadays, although all are not successful in finding it. At the same time, the amount of care which most of us take must surely have some effect on the longevity of the race, and certainly the average age does seem to be increasing.
The following rules issued by the New York Board of Health for the guidance of consumptives might, very well be followed as nearly as possible by all of us:
Never sleep or stay in a close room.
When indoors remain in the sunniest and best ventilated room—one, if possible, which has no carpet.
Have at least one window open in your bedroom.
Have a room to yourself when possible, and at any rate have your own bed.
Go to bed early and sleep at least eight hours.
Avoid draughts, dampness, dust and smoke.
Keep your feet warm and dry.
Don't wear a chest protector.
If you have to work, take every chance to rest that you can.
Avoid eating when mentally or bodily tired, or when in a state of nervous excitement.
Eat plenty of good and wholesome food.—Washington Star.
Umbrellas in Bed.
Mr. Barnard, M. P., has conducted an inquiry, on behalf of the Herts County Council at King's Langley into the housing question. It was stated that at Chipperfield it took a man two years to find a house, and a woman had 'to walk eight miles to her work because, she, could, not, get a lodging nearer. In another, case umbrellas had to, he held up in bed when it rained, and young people could not marry because there was nowhere for them to live.—London-Chronlele.
He Was Right.
"See here," leekly complained the victim, after the accident, "I thought you said, it was perfectly safe to go up in that old-elevator?" "Well," replied the elevator man, "so it was safe to go up; you see, the dangerous part of it was comin' down."—Philadelphia Press.
He—Do you believe in a uniform divorce law?
She-Yes, I'm getting awfully tired of the way things are mixed up at present. Whenever I go from New York to Connecticut I have to go to my linen remarked. It's a fully stitched noyling to be Mrs. Brown in one Stitch and Mrs. Smith in another. Of course it wouldn't be so bad if men's names all began with the same; letter—Oak Cargo Record-Herald.
The Modesty of, Women
Naturally makes them shrink from the indelicate questions, the obsouble examinations, and unpleasant local treatments; which some physiologists consider essential in the treatment of diseases of women. Yet, if help can be had, it is better to submit to this ordeal than let the disease grow and spread. The trouble is that so often the woman undergoes all the annoyance and shame for nothing. Thousands of women who have been cured by Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription have been treated with the examinations which displease with the examinations and local treatments. There is no other medicine so sure and safe for delicate women as "Favorite Prescription." It cures debilitating drains, irregularity and female weakness. It always helps. It almost always cures. It is strictly non-alcoholic, non-secret, all its ingredients being printed on its bottle-wrapper; contains no deleterious or habit-forming drugs, and every native medicinal root entering into its composition has the full endorsement of those most ominent in the several schools of medical practice. Some of these numerous and strongest of professional endorsements of its ingredients have been tested and around the bottle, also in a booklet mailed free on request, by Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y. These professional endorsements should have far more weight than any amount of the ordinary lay, or non-professional testimonials.
The most intelligent women now-a-days insist on knowing what they take as medicine instead of opening their mouths like a lot of young birds and gulping down whatever is offered them. "Favorite Proscription" is of known composition. It makes weak women strong and sick women well. Dr. Pleura's Medical Advisor is sent free on receipt of stamps to pay expense of mailing out.

SUNDAY
SERMON
BY THE REV
TRA W. HENDERSON
THE FAMOUS DIVINE
Subject: Clothed With Christ.
Brooklyn, N. Y.—Preaching at the Irving Square Presbyterian Church on the theme, "Clothed With Christ," the Rev. Ira Wemmell Henderson, pastor, took as his text Romans 13:14 and 14:8: "Put ye on the Lord Jesus, Christ. For whether we live, we live unto the Lord, and whether we die, we die unto the Lord; whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's." He said:
The need to-day in the church of our Lord and Saviour is for men and women who are truly Christ's. The call of God and of the world about us is for men and for women who in life and unto death are the Lord's. High in His Heaven the Father yearns in the deepest recesses of His heart for human souls who will serve the Master tirelessly and with a living faith. The world looks toward the servants of Jehovah for leadership and light. Whichever way we may turn our eyes, we may discern the pleading, beckoning hands of Jesus and of men who want salvation. Do we listen but a moment we may catch the cry of a sin-sick world and may hear the call of God. Beloved, God desires and man needs a strong, full-blooded, sanctified host to live and to preach the true Christ life. The consummation of the Kingdom and the coming of the Christ depend largely upon the activity of us who are called Christians. The measure of our fullness of life within Christ Jesus will be the measure of our lasting influence with men, of our favor in the sight of God, of the amount of Heaven's happiness that shall fill our hearts. The way unto "righteousness and peace and joy" is through thorough-going union within the Christ. He is the mediator of our sure salvation. He is the leader who can bring us perfect love and who is worthy of our aid. Within Him and clothed with the power that He gives we may fear naught but God. Without Him all is vanity. Are you weary? Put on Christ. Are you sad or sck or do you wish the richest joy? Turn to Jesus. He is the healer of the whole world's ills. He Is the Saviour who can-really give salvation.
The burden of our text is a call for the strict and whole-hearted allegiance of the individual man and Christian to Jesus Christ. "Put ye on the Lord Jesus," says Saint Paul, and the implication is that we are to dwell wholly within the Christ. The call is for men and for women who will be clothed upon with Jesus Christ—not merely once; but continually—unto the attainment of the perfect likeness of our Lord.
Now the text brings us face to face—do we think a moment—with these two separate and distinct truths. The first is that it is the duty of every man to enter into the Christ life. The second is that having entered into that life we must progress toward Christlikeness. That is to say, we must grow continually toward spiritual maturity and toward the perfectness of character which should accept the Lord as Saviour, for his power to save is a fact proven and attested by a long line of human experience. We Christians ought to grow into new and richer graces, for thus only do we evidence our love for that Master whom we serve.
The duty which we have predicated to be obligatory upon every man is not, less a need. The man who neglects to obey the call of Christ for entire yielding of self up to God, destroys for himself the greatest blessing which, in life, may be attained, and which God proffers to human kind. Only as we accept the Christ as our Saviour and our Friend are we surest of life eternal and of fellowship with the Father here. Convinced of the awfulness of our own sin, as every normal, right-minded man must be, it is clearly as much a necessity as an obligation for each of us to seek and to szeze that certain cleansing from the stains of an evil life which God has sent us through His Son, our Elder Brother. Desiring, as we all do, the highest happiness for self, it is hard to understand why men refuse the Gospel. Hoping, as each of us should hope, for the accomplishment of the greatest usefulness in the world, it is difficult to believe that men can, deliberately and willfully, disdain to accept that Heaven-born power which can make us most worth while. Purity, happiness, success: All three can be had at the hands of God Himself if men will but heed the Gospel of His Son. Wise is the sinning soul who believes. For he who loves Christ, lives best.
If the need of the man who is far away from God is great to put on Christ, the obligation of the Christian, to be continuously clothed upon by Christ is just as real. We must ever be renewing that spiritual life with which the Christ in our first acceptance of Him hath clothed us. The Christ life permits neither standstills nor retrogression. We must be on the move and that always ahead. To stand still is to stagnate. We must push on. Desire for further and grander attainment in the Godlessed life should always consume us as with a fire. Our faculties should be concentrated not upon present success but upon future accomplishment. Self-survey is a good thing if so be it lead not to self-satisfaction. That self-survey, moreover, is most profitable which takes stock of mistakes and which incites to further and finer effort. Belief on Christ is not merely assent to a fact, but the conservation of the soul to a life of service for His sake. More belief may gain us Heaven, but we must labor would we grow in grace. Many of us who would be ashamed to be rated as "just passed" in the records of this life's victories, seem to be very well satisfied to slide into Heaven with but small margin to spare. The best of our love and our work is none too good for God. The apostle was right when in the words
of the text he advised us unreservedly to put on Jesus Christ. Thus only can we become the children of God whom we should be—for the fullness of the Christ is perfection. And now that we have considered thus briefly the reasons why all men should serve God and all Christians should be're-clothed day by day with Christ, let us also reflect what is the nature of this life wherewith we are clothed by Christ. What does the apostle mean when he urges us to put on Jesus? What sort of men will we be?
Well, to be sure the first answer will be that the mature of that spiritual life wherewith we are to be reclothed or clothed upon, as the case may be, is essentially Christly. The apostle advises us to be Christlike when he points us to Jesus. Necessarily and logically, therefore, we will be men who act and live like Jesus Christ. The hymn which runs, "Jesus Christ is my all and in all," states the situation perfectly. Self is glorified through the losing of self in the Saviour.
To put on Jesus Christ and to be clothed upon by Him is to be saved, to grow from grace unto grace, to be one of that strong, full-blooded, sanctified host who, under God, live and preach the Christ life. You will notice I say live and preach, for the only preaching that is of value or that, in the long run, will count for anything very much, is the preaching that flows rich and full and free out of a life that is consistent, that rings true; out of a heart rich with experience of the glorious joys and possibilities of the life within Jesus. And as with the preaching, so also with all the means by which God's Gospel is mediated to men. The only testimony which secures results is that which springs from a trusted source. The only word which will strike home is that which has behind it a conviction and an assurance that is born of experimental knowledge. To preach Christ with power we must be accounted sincere and sure.
The Christ man will be a strong man. That is to say, he will be full of force. He may be warped and drawn physically, as one mighty messenger of God whom I know, but his eyes are mindless, mind clean, and his soul looks out for dimmed through windows that are not dimmed by sin.
The man who is clothed by and with Jesus is a fall-blooded man. His heart beats powerfully, his eye is clear, his head works quick, his hand is ready and his step is firm when sin is to be met and battled to the death. Without a quiver, a quaver, or even the slightest fear will he fight against the wrong. To be sure, he may not be blue-blooded, as the social standards of our day set the term. He may quail to force the unjust combat. He may refuse to pick a quarrel merely in order to despoil a people. But there, there where the fight is hottest and sin is strongest entrenched; there where the odds are against him and it seems his God must fail; there, on the Lord's own side, will you find the man who is clothed upon with Christ.
But, above all, the man who puts on Christ continually is sanctified. He is being perfected in holiness. He is in process of attainment in growth in godliness. Sanctification is not only perfectness, but the process and way to holiness entire. The aim of the man who is serving is for the goal. His hand is ever in the hand of God. He never lets policy give the sidetrack to principle. With him truth has the right of way, and the clear road always. His motives are above suspicion. If he falls in the race he is still undaunted. For him, to be well up at the end, is ambition's hope. To keep the faith is his endeavor. "For Christ and the world" is his motto. Put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ and be ye clothed progressively with Him. Thus shall ye learn the highest service, thus shall ye enter into knowledge of the finest life.
Nourishing the Soul.
Why should not everybody, especially every church member, belong to the Sunday-school? asks the editor of the Observer. Surely no one can lay claim to sufficient knowledge of the Bible. Even the most scholarly men of the age are constantly studying the Old Book, and are ever finding something new in it. In spite of the sensation produced by recent works of fiction, the Bible is more discussed to-day than any other book, and the interest is of the intensest kind. Such a book ought to be studied regularly by every person. We are convinced that by joining the Sunday-school and making use of the best helps in Bible study, the best results can be secured. Good helps are cheap, for one thing. Then the study of certain portions of the Bible every week will tend to regular and systematic habits of nourishing the soul with the very food that it most needs.—Ram's Horn.
Make Us Strong in Trial.
We remember the temptations that are before us, when, passion from within' is allied with opportunity from without, and that we have so often therein gone astray, and we pray Thee, that the spirit of religion may be so strong within, us, that, it shall enable us to overcome evil, and prove ourselves stronger for every trial. Amen. —Theodore Parker.

Frog's Hearts in Men.
Once again have the scientists proved to be wrong. Until recently it was thought that a child could only live eight or ten years with what is known as "a frog's heart"—a heart with single ventricle to perform the double purpose of propelling the pure blood throughout the system and sending the impure blood to the lungs for purification. In the normal being these two operations are performed by separate ventricles. In the course of the post-morten examination of a man about thirty-five years old who had suffered from heart disease, in one of the Manchester hospitals, it was found that he had lived the allotted span with a heart in all its details like that of a frog, except that it was much larger. It is said that such a case is unique in the annals of medical science.—Dunder Advertiser.
Leprosy Patient Nurses Children.
An evening contemporary, in its issue of Monday, denounced the authorities of the Lazaretto for allowing a patient smitten with leprosy to act as assistant nurse in the children's ward. Given the contagious nature of the awful disease named, it seems increditable that under the careful superintendence of the medical officers of the institution such an irregularity could exist. The interest of the matter lies in the bare announcement, which shows how quickly the city grows accustomed to circumstances. If, three months ago, any one dared to say that there was such a thing as leprosy, anywhere within the municipal limits, the whole weight of public opinion would have been discharged upon the luckless wight. And now leprosy in one form or another is to be met with daily in the metropolitan press. — Buenos Ayres Herald.
In the Game.
Once there was a man who thought Uncle Russell Sage ought to stop work. He spoke to him about it. "Why get together any more money, Mr. Sage? You can't eat it; you can't drink it. What good will it do you?" "Ever play marbles?" Uncle Russell asked. "Yes, when I was a boy."
"Couldn't eat 'em, could you? couldn't drink 'em, could you? No use to you, were they? What did you play marbles for?"—Harper's Weekly.

To Settle Jap School Muddle in San Francisco.
White Schools to Be Opened to the Japs if National Lawmakers Pass Immigration Bill With an Exclusion Clause Attached.
A Washington special says: The Japanese school controversy is settled, in so far as President Roosevelt, Mayor Schmitz and the members of the San Francisco school board are concerned. "An amicable adjustment of the question now rests with congress. If the amendment to the immigration bill, proposed by Secretary Root, excluding foreigners who use their passports to secure admission to the United States "to the detriment of labor conditions in this country," is accepted by the senate and house, and the immigration bill is passed at this session of congress, the San Francisco board of education will rescind its order establishing the oriental schools unless the Japanese government agrees to a proposition for separate schools, which will provide equal facilities for the Japanese children.
Mayor Schmitz and his assistants had a conference with the president at the white house Wednesday afternoon, and Mr. Roosevelt was assured that the amendment to the immigration bill was entirely satisfactory to them. Secretary Root participated in the conference, and made a report on his negotiations with the republican leaders in congress and the Japanese ambassador.
While Mayor Schmitz and the members of the school board are still hopeful that Viscount Acki, the Japanese ambassador, will agree to separate schools in California, they stand willing to rescind the order establishing the oriental schools, and again admit Japanese children to the white schools.
Mayor Schmitz pointed out to President Roosevelt and Secretary Root the advantages that will be gained by the Japanese children if the oriental schools are maintained and expressed a willingness to give the Japanese educational facilities to those given to the white children of San Francisco.
If the Japanese government will agree to this proposition, the school board will establish a sufficient number of oriental schools to accommodate the Japanese, and will give the children individual instruction. Mayor Schmitz says that the Japanese make greater prgores since oriental schools than they do in the white schools, and that in the mixed school the Japanese only retard the progress of the white children.
Another conference will be held at the white house, and in the meantime President Roosevelt hopes to be able to give Mayor Schmitz and his associates assurance that the immigration bill, including the exclusion amendment, will be passed at this session of congress.
The only thing that will prevent an amicable settlement of the whole question will be the unwillingness of congress to pass the immigration bill. This, it can be stated, on the highest official authority, is now the only possible hitch that can be encountered in the negotiations.
RAILROADING PENSION BILLS.
Senate Passes Them, at Rate of Fifteen for Each Minute.
The senate Wednesday night broke all records by passing bills at the rate of fifteen a minute for one hour and six minutes.

Once more Atlanta is to get the Georgia state fair. This was decided at the meeting of the executive committee of the Georgia Agricultural Society, held in the city Wednesday.
The proposition submitted by the Atlanta Fair Association was a bonus of $2,250 to go to the Georgia Agricultural Society, $3,000 for premiums and the payment of the $1,821 due on last year's premiums, the committee agreeing that this payment need not be made before January, 1908.
BOTH WERE GOOD SHOTS.

15. Sworn Statement of Colored Soldier Before Committee—Investigation Regarded as Farce.
A Washington special says: The impression made upon auditors at the hearing of the discharged negro soldiers at the investigation by the senate military affairs committee is almost invariably that the Investigation is a force in so far as sustaining any contention heretofore made by Senator Foraker.
The Ohio senator has diligently sought to aid the witnesses in making the best showing possible that they had nothing to do with the Brownville shoot-up and that they knew nothing about it.
None of the witnesses has admitted ever entertaining an idea that any of his colored comrades did the shooting. Some of them even stated that they did not know whether the shooting had even been discussed among the troops after the affair. Most of them took the ground that it was impossible for arms and ammunition to be taken by their men without detection, notwithstanding it was elicited from them that these equipments were in charge of negro sergeants. Nearly all of them held to the remarkable statement of belief that the people of Brownsville did the shooting. One witness, Winter Washington, stated as his first and last judgment that the Brownsville shooting was done by Mexicans and cowboys. He reiterated that statement, although his testimony contained his statement that there were no marks or signs of bullets about the barracks and that he had "heard" something about a man having been killed and some wounded among the people of Brownsville.
One of the witnesses, First Sergeant Fraser of company D, in giving his reasons why he believed that the people of Brownsville did the shooting, said he believed they did it to get the colored troops away by making trouble for them. The trouble, according to this witness, as far as the animosity of the people of Brownsville against the three companies of colored troops at the fort, was that when they found they would not be allowed to drink in the front part of the saloons of the town, they exclusively patronized a saloon that had been set up in the town by a discharged negro soldier. This was the saloon that got their money, and that was what made the white folks mad. Hence they shot up some of their own people in order to have the negro troops ordered away.
It was here that Senator Overman asked the witness:
"Do you mean to say that you believe on your oath that the people of Brownsville, for that reason, shot their own people—committed murder?"
"I don't know nothing about any murder," answered the witness, "but that's what I believe."
Asked where the Brownsville people could have gotten the ammunition with which they did the shooting, as he believed, the witness declared: "I don't know unless they got it from the twenty-sixth."
The twenty-sixth regiment was the white regiment which had occupied the post at Brownsville before the colored twenty-sixth battalion went there.
The "shooting up" of the town of Brownsville, Texas, was in the form of an attack on the garrison at Fort Brown, according to the testimony given Monday by Mingo Sanders, former first sergeant of company B of the Fifth infantry before the senate committee on military affairs,
Sanders' story created something of a stir in the committee, as he said that while running from his quarters to company B barracks after being awakened by the firing on the night of August 13, the shooting was going on, and it came from the town and was toward the hospital on the military reservation. He said bullets were whizzing over his head.
This is the first direct testimony given by any of the discharged negro soldiers that the fire came from the town.
DEATH BLOW TO SUBTREASURY.

TO ACCEPT NOBEL PRIZE.
House Committee on Labor Favorably
Reports the Bartholdt Bill.
The house committee on labor made a favorable report on the Bartholdt bill to the board of trustees to accept and administer the Nobel prize fund of nearly $10,000, which President Roosevelt desires to have used to defray the expenses of conferences between capital and labor to promote industrial peace
TOO HOT FOR MAILS
Is Disgusting Details of No- torious Thaw Case.
Roosevelt' Orders Postmaster General Cortelyou, if Feasible, to Shut Out Papers Publishing Scandalous, and Demoralizing Stuff
A Washington special Says: Monday President Roosevelt called upon the postmaster general, according to official announcement made at the white house; "to know whether it is feasible to, bar from the malls the newspapers that give: the full disguising particulars of the Thaw case. He does not know whether it is feasible, but if it is, he wishes it done."
The president's letter was referred to Assistant Attorney General Goodwin of the postoffice department, for a legal opinion. If anything is done it is expected that it will be done promptly, though Judge Goodwin is now out of town.
The president, in directing the attention of the postmaster general to the reports of the Thaw case, did so without knowledge of the latter's sentiments, but had in view, evidently, the federal statute forbidding the sending through the mails of "lewd, lascivious and obscene maiter."
Unquestionably the work of censoring the daily newspapers of the country would be attended with many difficulties and possibly daily legal contests would result over whether or not newspapers had complied with the postoffice regulations in printing certain evidence adduced at the trial. The present force of postoffice inspectors would have their hands full as at least one inspector would be needed in each city where daily newspapers are published. Whether or not legal action follows the president's action, he has placed himself on record as condemning the stories published.
Since the Thaw trial began the New York papers have been excluded from the library in the white house. Upton being interviewed in regard to the president's inquiry Postmaster General Cortelyou declined to make any statement concerning any action that might be taken or to say that any such proposition was under consideration.
President Roosevelt-received a number of protests from persons who think that the newspapers printing the full details of the Thaw case should be prohibited transmission through the mails. One of these was a long, telegraphic protest from a newspaper, the name of which, however, was not given out at the white house. The recent discussion of the question in Canada notably in the Canadian parliament and the statement of the postmaster general at Ottawa, who was reported to have said that any newspaper publishing such evidence as that given in the Thaw case of last Thursday would be guilty of a misdemeanor under the Canadian law, also was brought to the attention of the president.
Women Excluded from Court.
The features of Monday in the Thaw trial were the exclusion of women from the court room and the statement of Dr. Wagner, an alienist, based on a hypothetical question, that Thaw did not know his act was wrong when he killed Stanford White. During the two days of last week, when Evelyn Nesbitt Thaw was on the witness stand, New York women crowded the court room, having in some manner solved the problem of getting past the bailig at the door. Monday morning the women stormed the portals again, but in vain. Their indignation knew no bounds when the court officers repulsed them with the statement that the court's order excluded every one except such as were working newspaper reporters.
TEN LANGUAGES ARE USED
In Notifying: Bank Depositors That Institution Had "Fluked."
The Newcastle, Pa., Savings and Trust Company failed to open its doors Saturday. The notice of the suspension of the bank was posted in ten different languages, the concern having patrons of foreign birth. It is said the suspension was caused by large lines of credit extended to local firms, and individuals. The bank, it is understood, will have about $250,000 to meet its outstanding accounts of $300,000.
RUSS GOVERNOR ASSASSINATED.
Murderer Fled, Was Pursued and Fatally Wounded.
S. A. Alexandrovsky, governor of Penza, Russia, was shot and killed as he was leaving the theater Thursday night.
The assassin fled, was pursued and kept up a running fight during which he was fatally wounded. He died shortly afterwards in the hospital.
SANG AS THEY DIED.
Pathetic Scenes Enacted as Larchment Victims Went to Watery Graves—Details of Horror.
A special from Providence, R. I. says; The names of 127 persons who were on board the steamer Larchmont when she sank in Block Island Sound Monday night, were known. Of these nineteen are known to have survived; eleven are among the dead, their bodies have been identified, and 97 are missing. Of the identified dead, seven were members of the crew, and four passengers; of the survivors, ten are members of the crew, and nine passengers; of the missing twelfth are members of the crew, and eighty-three passengers.
There are only two women among the survivors, Mrs. Harris Feldman of New York, and Miss Sadie Galtrup of Boston.
Among the victims were ten Salvation Army workers from Worcester, and this band furnished one of the thrilling incidents of the disaster. When it was evident that the boat must sink and the frenzied passengers were endeavoring to get into the boats the Salvation Army soldiers are said to have fallen to their knees, where they joined in prayer, invoking the Almighty to save and protect the shipwrecked people.
Of this incident Mrs. Feldman says: "I can never forget the cries of anguish and terror that arose from those who sank with the ship that disappeared like magic under those white capped waves. As the steamer sank I could hear some sweet voiced woman singing a gospel hymn—it was 'Onward, Christian Soldiers.' Not fewer than two thousand persons had assembled along the water front at Providence Wednesday night as the Joy line steamer Kentucky came slowly up the Providence river. Along her lower deck on the starboard side lay 49 bodies, all covered with white sheeting. Inside in the best state rooms of the boat were 18 survivors of the accident.
The dead, still frozen in unnatural positions, were placed in the undertakers' baskets and carried to a nearby morgue, where they were arranged so that all who desired might pass in an effort to identify them. Physicians who had an opportunity to examine the bodies expressed the opinion that in many cases death had been caused by the cold, rather than drowning.
A statement made by Frederick Hiergesell, an 18-year-old boy, who was returning to his home after having been a runaway for nearly a year, contained the first direct charges against Captain McVey of the Larchmont and his crew. Hiergesell asserts that Captain McVey's boat was the first one that left the sinking steamer. He said that he saw many women on the hurricane deck rushing about helplessly, and begging for life preservers. Many of these women pleaded with panic-striken passengers and crew to direct them to the life-boats, but their prayers were unheeded.
WOMAN GOVERNMENT WITNESS.
Convicted Female Moonshiner Testifies Against Sheriff Shipp.
At Chattanooga, Wednesday, the government presented its most important witness up to date in the hearing of evidence in the case of Sherlir J. F. Shipp and others charged with contempt of the United States supreme court growing out of the lynching of Ed Johnson.
Mrs. Ellen Baker, a convicted moonshiner, who was in the county jail at the time of the lynching, testified that the night jailer warned her several hours before the lynching that Johnson would be hanged by a mob and advised her to remain close in her room. The government offered this testimony to show that the sheriff ought to have known that a lynching was impending. The defense, however, proved that the night jailer was on the jury that convicted the woman in the federal court and undertook to show that her testimony was therefore not admissible.
BLOUNT WANTS A SHARE.
Alabama Man Seeks to Estop Payment of Note for $366,666.66.
A petition was filed Wednesday with the clerk of the superior court by William H. Blount of Union Springs, Ala., plaintiff to prevent the payment to Allen W. Jones of the proceeds of a note for $66,666.66, which was given by John Skelton Williams and others to Mr. Jones in part purchase of the Augusta and Florida railroad.
It is alleged that Jones, had not the right to sell, inasmuch as half interest in the Augusta and Florida belonged to the plaintiff, Blount.
