In the audl- ehice were representatives of a num- er of prominent women’s organia- tions, which have been active in cir- ‘culating and having presented peti- tions of remonstrance agalust Smoot. Theje women secured many thou- sands of signatures to thelr petitions, which were seat to the senate in ela. coretely bound volumes. Sendjors Bacon and Clay of Geor- sia, Tilman and Latimer of South Garolina, and the democrats gener- ally, voted for expulsion. The repub- licxn defenders of Smoot sought to correct the statements that he had practiced! polygamy, and several ad- dresses by Senators Beveridge, Knox and other$ have been made In his support. Sbnator Bacon declared his reason for voting against Smoot was that, while !probably not a polygamist Ahimself, he was an apostle and mem. Der of the, governing body of the Mormon chuteh, and as such counten- anced polygainy, and favored union of church and state. a As 4 o'clork arrived, when, by acreement, tie voting was to besin, Senator Footie offered his amend, ment to the committee resolution, and At was adopted; under the amend- ‘nent a two-thirds vote would have Deert necessary ‘ta Garry the resolu- Hon, which declared that Dr. Smoot is not entitled] to his seat. ‘Then came the vote on the commit. ice resolutions as amended,. which wis as follows; “Resolved, two-thirds of the sena- tors present, concurring therein, that Reed Smoot iS not entitled to a seat ay a senator ,of the United States from the state) of Utah.” Altiongh it }ras a foregone conclu- sion that the }resolutfon would fall, und thus end fhe long fight against ihe Uteh senatdr, the roll call contata- ed some surprifes. Ot the forty-two yates in favor ff Senator Smoot, three weke cast by democrats. They were Messrs. PlackBurn, Clark of Montana and Denlel. Stnator Teller was pair- ei lu favor off Smoot. Of the twenty- elght votes akalnst Mr. Smoot ‘nine ‘were republicans. ‘At the covfclusion of the voting athere was a feaah of republican sena- tors to the choal: room to congratulate ‘Mf, Smoot. A large nfimber of members of the house followed, and there the senior Utah senator was patted upon the back, and ‘nis hands were shaken in hearty “faghion. On the floor of the senate ang In the galleries it was many minutes before order could be restored. \ In the debate Mr. DuBols took direct issue with Senator Knox’s recent statement? “Polygamy in Utah hes ended.” “Bie Out of the twelve apostles hava gone into it since the mani- festo,” rted Mr. DuBois. “The president, of the church performed the cererbony between an apostle and his fourth wite,” he added. “Senator Smoot Is the son of polysamfst. His father had four wives. When bh reached the age of man- hod he}married a polygamist child, his wifq being the daughter of a fourth vite of her father, I would not saygthis 1f it hurt the feelings ‘of the $enator. It does not. No one iv Utahfjwill blame him for it. Many wit hogbr him.” Concfiding Bir. DuBols declared there Jere not ten senators who would vote for Mr. Smoot if they naa Aead the testimony. “Gut I know that strong influences arg at work here. The president of iUnited States 1s the open friend of the senator from Utah. You all kqnow it. The country knows it. He: vyants him seated. You have got tho formon vote. You haye every one {t. them, my friends, on the republi- can side. But st has cost you the moral support of the Christian wo- men and men ‘of the United States.” POSTOFFICE BILL PASSED Ninety Per Cent of Employes of Serv- ice Are Granted More Pay—Ap- propriation Largest Ever. __ A Washington special says: The Dostofiice appropriation bill, the larg- est ever ‘reported from the commit- tee on postofiices and postroads, pass- ed the house Wednesday. All the provisions relating to increased pay, affecting 90 per cent of the postal employees, which were stricken dut on points of order, were restored to the Dill. This action was accomplished by a mule presented by the committee ou rules after the bill had been re- ported to the house by the commit: tee of the whole. 8 Mr. Clayton of Alabama presented an amendment providing that fourth- class postoffices should not be discon- tinuea unless fifteen days notice had Deen given to the representative or delegate in congress from the dis- ‘trict In which such postoffice is lo cated ‘Zhe amendment was ruled out on a point of order. When ‘the item appropriating $17, 439,900 for the pay of employees ot the railway mails was reached Mr. Macon of “Mrkansas made the point of order against the paragraph that it Increased salaries. Br. Overstreet of Indiana, in charge ot the bill, earnestly protest- ed against the point for the reason that if the appropriation be stricken out it would do away with the rait “way mail service and eripple the en- tire postal system. - Mr. Macon sald it was mighty strange how some persons could make ‘points of order, even to the extent of protecting the raflroads; he made a point of order clearly within his right and for the purpose of protect- ing the public treasury he was critl- jeised and even condemned. He pro ‘tested against such actions, | Before the bill was put upon its ‘final passage, Mr. Dalzell of Pennsy!- ‘yanta, from the committee on rules, ‘reported a rule restoring all the par- agraphs stricken out Tuesday, having relation to the Increase in salaries of clerks in first and second class offices, ‘city and rural carriers and railway mail clerks ang making a number of importanat changes from the bill a3 reported to the house to the com- mittee on postoffice and post roads, By the terms of the amendments, seven grades of ¢lerks are estaultsh- ed with salarles ranging from $600 te $1,206.

Rallway mall clerks are divided into six grades be- low that of the chief clerk, salaries in each’ grade being Increased $100, and ranging from $800 to $1,700.

Retore the Investigating committee ot the ‘Texas house and senate Wed- nesday, United States Senator Joseph W. Balley continued the story of his finanefal deats with John H. Kirby, the Texas mllonairé lumberman; 8. G, Bane, president of the Seaboard “National Bank of New York; Henty Clay Pierce, president of the board of directors of the Waters-Pierce Oil company; RB. F. Yoakum, who fs at the head’ of two rallroad system, and with various other financiers. One of his most important state- ments was that he had been asked by the Standard Ol! officials in New ‘York iramediately after the Beaumont oll boom, t6 give them an opinion as to what the opportunities were for them to reenter the state again and do bnsiness. “I gaye them a written opinion in which I stated that if they attempted to do business in the state, they would Bo put in the penitentiary, and thelr property absorbed in fines and penat- ties,” said Senator Bailey. Sonator Bailey told an interesting story of his adventures fn the finan. cial world and firmly maintained that all of his-acts and deeds had been honorable and above reproach, A KICK FROM CANNON. Speaker Opposed to Location of Im- migrant Station at Charleston. It is reported that Speaker Cannon will refuse to allow consideration at this session of the bill reported Tues- day by the Immigration committee of the house for the location of an {mmt- grant station at Charleston, S. C. This measure was' urged in view of the im- portancgsCharleston has assumed as an immigrant port. The speaker pro- fesses to believe this money could ‘be better employed in the erection of immigrant hotels at the large immi- gration centers of the country... BY BIG MAJORITY Hoyse Adopts Conference Report on Immigration Bill. “BIG STICK” IN EVIDENCE Measure, as Adopted, Gives Roosevelt Power and Privilege to Deal With Exclusion of Jap. Laborers as He Sees Fit. A Washington special says: ‘Un- der suspension of thu rules, the house Monday adopted the conference re- port oc the immigration bill, which was agreed to by the senate Saturday, although the Democrats generally made a party issue against the pass port provision as well ax to that re quiring alr space In vessels. The vote stood ayes 187, noes-101. Four Re publicang voted against the bill, and fuur Democrats voted for it. Representative Burnett of Alabama made points of order against the first provision, which undertakes to regulate the incoming of Japanese cvortes, by giving the president au- thority (o refuse to recoghize thelr passports, and also aguinst the whole of section 42, having relation to the air space in vessels bringing immt- grants to the United States. As to the first proposition, Mr. Bur- nett insisted that the authority con- ferred by the section cn the president put tn his ‘hands a “big stick,” which he could wield over a state. He de- clared that It gave the chief execu- tive a power which was never con- tomplated by the constitution, nor by the enabling act of any sovercign state, As to the second proposition, it was Mr, Burnett's contention that the*air space provision properly be- longed in a bill relating to navigation, ata had no part in a bill regulating the immigration of qiens into the United States - Mz. Burnett asked the speaker of the whole Chinese exclusion law .cauld not befrepeatea by a conference report. “Oh, why does the gentlemen ask about that which might, could, would, or should happen?” replied the speaker, amid laugltter. ‘Mr. Wiliams, of Mississippi, desir- ed to warn the people of Cahfornia of something which they already knew. and that was that the views of the president was not their views. “This man to whom you have lemt the discretion in the matter of Japy- nese immigration is one who nas al- ready recommended the naturallza- tion of the Japanese,” said Mr. Wil- Hams, “I um with the peon'e of Cat- fornia on the question of separate schools, “and I am with them on another question,” continued Mr. Willams. “t want the Pacific coast kept a whit2 mun'a country (applause), and I want all this country, as far as it can be, to be a white man’s country, not merely because [ helleve thé Cau- casian is superior to other races, but because this {3 our land, the !and of our traditions and our Ideals, sud £ knew that the influx of ancther race means another race problem for an- other portion of this republic, and an- other scetal watfare. “I want to, say that every woe which this country has suffered has resulted from the landing of the first slave ship at Jamestown.” (Applause.) COTTON EXPERTS ASSURED. Provision for Their Salaries is Final- ty Agreed Upon. ‘The appropriation of $20,000 for the employzment of experts to work abroad to incfense the business in cotton products, which hag been in confer enc for several weeks, has been finally agreed unon. ‘The conference réport containing the item was signed Monday after- noon, Tho whole appropriation for extending foreign trade Ya meri ean manufactures 1s $50,000. JAPS DON'T APPROVE ACTION. They Are Sore: Over Agreement Reached on Schoo! Question. A Toklo special says: No official step has yet been taken looking to a sétUement of the Callfornta situa- ton in accordance yitiigthe agree ment reached between President Roosevelt and the San Francisco au: therities, but should 1 be effected on that basis, the government must be prepared for violent attacks. ‘The authoritiés.are‘asstimingra calm and resolute attitude, however, and it 1s belleved n° settlement’ on this Aine ‘Is not entirely hopeless. NO PROBING INTENDED. Report That Cottcn Associatione Would Be Put on Rack is De- nied by Garfield. | A Washington special says: The latest move in the campaten of the cotton exchanges to obstruct the pro- gress of the investigation which ts being made by the bureau of cor porations by direction of a congres- sional resolution is the report which has been industriously “éirculated by friends of the New York cotton ex- change that the Southern Cotton As- soctition will also come under the ‘probe of the department of com- ™erce and labor. The story was pub- Ushed throughout the country Sat- urday that such an Investigation was contemplated and that it would be shown that the combinations of south- ern farmers to boom the price of the south's staple was inimical to the Interests of the producing sec- tions of tha country and in deflance ot Taw. . Commissioner Garfield, of the bu- reau of corporations, was seen gt his office and denfed that any such ‘steps had been taken. He also denied that they. even contemplated an investl- gation of cotton associations. Knott Smith, the assistant commissioner, also expressed ignorance of any such movement; though he sald the bus reau was not necessarily confined in ‘the scope of “fis investigations. it is trae that the bureau of corpora- tions might under authority of law Investigate the organization, couduct and mauagement of any corporation or combination of corporations en- gaged In interstate commerce, except, of course, rallroads, which come um der tho provisions of the interstate commerce clause. ‘The department might even investt gate the southern cotton associations in conformity with thelr authority to gather and publish useful information, concerning corporations engaged In in- terstate commerce on the ground that such combinations affect {interstate commerce. The main point at pres- ent fs that uo such Investigation has deen undertaken. No such investiga- tion wa contemplated in the Liv- ingston-Uurleson resolution directing an investigation into the cotton ex- changes of the country, and Colonel Livicgston was Informed that none was at present contempleted. ‘When ‘the Livingstin-Burleson reso? lution was pending Representative Levering, of Massachusetts, declared {t should provide aiso for an investl- gation Into the southern®¢otton asso- clations of cotton farmers, but no at- tempt was made to provide for this fm any resolution passed by the sen- ate.

The report also was adopted by the senate by a yote of 25 to 10, and the act was signed by Governor Ansell at once, the state dispensary thus passing out of extstence with Saturday. Governor, Ansel, late Sunday night, fssued.a, proclymation Instructing all dispensaries ‘to close their doors Mon- day and remain closed until the ¢ounty bourds are appomted und take charge of the dispensaries. ‘This mesns that the diensaries will not open their doors at all again unut the counties have taken charge.

SMOOT DEFENDS HIMSELF. — s tan Senator Denles Being Tangled ~_* ‘Up With Mormonism. Senator Reed Smoot’s long-expect- ed address to the senate Tuesday fn defense of his position as senator fron Utah, was the feature of the session. He was supported by Senator Dil- Hingham of Vermont, in an analytical speech of the evidence which had been submitted in the case. Bir. Smoot condemned polygamy in the strans- est terms, and declared emphatically that he had taken no oath itconsist- ent ‘with that he had taken as sen- ator. - GOOD FOR GEORGIA Expert Labor, Long Needed, is Assured for State. PLANS ARE FORMULATED At Enthusiastic and Largely Attended _ State Immigration Conven- tion Held In the . ‘Central City. o Plans for a uniform method of se- curing for the state of Georgia the best class of immigrants were pre sented and enthusiastically adopted by four hundred of the most conserv- ative citizens of the state at the Im- migration conference held fn Macon Tuesday, under the auspices of the Georgia Immigration Assoclation. Prominent leaders of the south, as- sisted by the wisdom of officials of federal departments, governors, in- dustrial and manufacturing represen- tativcs and well known agricultural expone:.ts, met in peace and harmony, to dircuss common interests of a rcommon cause. From the calling of the conventfon to order by President G. Gunby Jor- dan in the crowded auditorium until the afternoon session adjourned for the smoker, ‘which was given by the Macon chamber of commerce Tuesday night, enthusiasm marked every reso- fution that was adopted and pledged ‘thelr co-operation to the suggestions made by the various committees. In the opinion of careful, calculat- Ing, practical business men, the re- sults of the day's conference and con- vention mark the turning of the tide, the ebb of which has left Georgia face to face with a scarcity of labor ‘and the contemplation of idle and un- occupled acres of land such as has hampered beyond estimate the de velopment of natural resources and great Industries in the midst of an era of prosperity unprecedented. So much of the best work of the convention was accomplished in the quiet conferences of several commit- tees, IL may be well to state some of the ‘actual results gf this gathering of the Georgia clans under the direc- tion of the Georgla Immigration As- sociation. Among other things, it was declded—and to theso ends plans are now under way—that the best results conld be accomplished as follows: ‘Tne bringing of Georgia Immigrants to Georsfi by way of a Georgia port and not by way of New York, New Orleans or the Robin Hood barn route. . To this end, representatives of some of the largest transatlantle steamship lines present sald that-they were au- thorized to state In this connection that providing Georgia secured suffl- cient business. in place of the bis feeight ships now plying betwen Sa- vanneh and European yoris, steam- ships equipped for the transportation of both cabin and steerage passen- gers would be substituted immediate. ly for tho present frelghters. These same offers were made 1s Chairinar of the State-Executive Com- mitteg John A. Betjemiu, Commission- er Thomas G. Hudson‘and other Geor- elans during a recent conference in New York with the chief officials of the steamship companies. To take advantage of this oppor. tunity, the work ofthe Georgia Immt- gration Association has been broaden- ed and enlarged. Through competent commissioners keeping well within the letter and the spirit of the immt!- gration laws, those citizens of Euro- pean countries will be properly and truthfully advised of the present op- portunities In Georgia. ‘23 a result of the conferences it Js expected that ships bringing in new homeseckers and settlers for Georgia, will arrive in Savannah In about three months. These ships wifl come from ports In the United Kingdom, Germany and Italy, There will be a regular service established between some German port and Savannah with sallings every three weeks and a0- commodations for both cabin and ‘tenrninn ‘yeebteniniinn: . STATE SOVEREIGNTY INTACT. California Delegation Satisfied With Agreement on Jap Question. “The Californla committee, which is iu Washington in reference to the Japanese question, has not conceded any of its rights. State sovereignty was absolutely insisted on,” declared Mayor Schmitz, of San Francisco. Yet he sald a complete agreement bud been reached on all points of differ- ence, the only thing remaining to he done being the incorporation by congress of the exclusion amendment into the immigration bill. = SCHOOLS OPEN TO: JAPS. ‘Frisco Authorities WIN Admit Yellow Youngsters Under 16 Years, and” ~. Who Speak English. Japancse children are to be adinit- ted to white schools of San Fraicisco under certain restrictions; skilled and unskilled laborers coming from Japan barred from the malniand of the Unit- ed States and American laborers, skilled and unskilied, are to be ex- cluded irom Japan. This 1s the basis vf the agreemont between President Roosevelt, Secretary Root, Mayor Schmitz and the San Francisco schoo! board, as an adjustment of the anti- Japanese agitation brought about by the segregation of Japanese children in the schools of San Francisco. The agreement means that schvols of San Francisco ‘will be conducted fu- the same manner as they were before the board of education adopted ‘the resolution Iast October providing for the segregation of the Japanese, ex- ‘cepting that adult Japanese, who are in primary grades must contine ‘to attend the Oriental schéols, and that Japanese children under 16 years of age will be admitted to classes with walte children of thelr own ages. While the resolution of the schoct boaed, us amended, reads “children of allen: birth;” it fs freely admitted by Mayor Schmitz and his assonates that the resolution will apply only to the Japanese children, and toat the changing of the wording was to make it plain to the Tokio govern- nient that no disctimination was In- tended against Japanese children. Mayor Schmitz is quoted as sayings, “this 1s only a temporary agyee- ment President Roosevelt has given us ¢ircet and positive assurances that he will at onée besin negoti- tions with Japan ‘for the purpose of ringing about a new treaty that will exclude Japanese laborers, skilled and unslailed, from continental United States. é Bharlly before midnight Monday night the following statement was given out at the White House: “A typewritten copy of Mayor Schmitz’s Ztatement was submitted to President Roosevelt, and Seerctary Root, and the statement -ic entirely: sausiactory to them.” In reference to modifying the order exeluding Japanese children from the white schools, the representatives of Sur. Francisco sald: “As a condition of the modification of said resolution, we respecttully in- sist that the legal proceedings hereto- fore instituted de dismissed forth- with, and that it ts expressly under, elood that we have not conceded and do not concede, or intend to coucede, that or action was in violation of any of the stipulations of the treaty betweea the United States and Ja-- pan, but en the-contrary we do claim and assert that i€ any stIpuletfon In sald treaty contained is inconsistent or conflicts. with the power and au- thority given by section No. 1662 of the peal code of the state of Call- fornia, then 20 far as sald treaty at-- tempts to clreurscribe or prevent the board of education from regulatins Its own school affairs as an exerciss of local police power, sach provision im sata treaty are negatory and void?"

It George Washington, Southerner BY WILLIAM GARROTT BROWN we may philosophize with some satisfaction on the material causes of the most widespread tendencies; we may feel that we have explained the characteristics of the whole peoples and civilizations. But the individual, particularly when he is one of the marked and chosen, presents far greater difficulties. Still, there is no part of the historian's work more alluring to himself or more fascinating to his readers than his attempts to account for the great men. One day about a year ago, the same mail brought me two letters, one from Buffalo and one from New Orleans, which seemed to join in a single invitation, and gave me an excuse for entering upon a line of thought which, though dangerous, had often tempted me before. The first was a request for a discourse appropriate to Washington's Birthday. The second, from a student of Southern history, asked for my opinion on the question. What good qualities, if any, have come out of the civilization of the. South to go into the permanent American char- ```markdown ``` ON A TOUR OF INSPECTION. acter? The phrase "George Washington, Southernner," was a quick outcome of my meditations. How far it is a truthful phrase that is to say, how much his Southern birth and breeding, his associations with other Virginians, his life on a great plantation, his ownership of slaves—how much these things had to do with the character of Washington—is, of course, a question we cannot answer so clearly or confidently as if it were asked of Southerners or Virginians in general. It is like analyzing for his Americanism or his Englishshry, when after all he doubtless drew more of his qualities from his mere membership in the human family than from his assignment to any particular branch of it. And, then, there were his entirely personal belongings. Nevertheless, it may be worth our while—particularly the little while we all in some fashion once a year give over to celebrating our national hero—to consider, the vague, way we can, both how far he was a Southerner and also what sort of a Southerner he was. We may be sure that much of what was peculiar to the South and to colonial Virginia sank into his character, and that no Englishman, no New England man, no Knickerbocker, could possibly be as like him as e, an inverted negative of the Pine. The first three portraits dominate and Gulager are suppressed, al- cal chances photographically. Isfactory to the most ardent Washington. ington, Southerner BARROTT BROWN another colonial Virginian concoctably might have been. Seeking more particularly for the elements of strength which he took from his environment, we will do best to join him with the other strongest Virginians of his time. While it would be illogical to attribute to their common experiences and associations the characteristics of any particular member of that extraordinary group, it is not unreasonable to suppose that any qualities which the whole group displayed, particularly if they were distinctive qualities, were in some measure due to the civilization out of which these men came. Are there, then, any respects in which we find the leaders of Revolutionary Virginia—Washington and Henry and Jefferson and Mason and Marshall and Madison and the Lees and Randolphs—taken as a group, distinguishable from Revolutionary leaders in general throughout the country? In this sort of generalizing and in this space, our reasoning can proceed only by a sort of common consent, each of us modifying the conclusion in proportion to his dissent from the premises. I am inclined to put first a distinction of the Virginians which they got merely by an excess of a quality which nearly all the builders of the American nation displayed. They had more than their share of a certain gravity, a high seriousness, which we expect to find in every Revolutionary worthy. This may seem a surprising statement, since many of us have the impression that Southerners have always been the most light-hearted of Americans. Behind their gravity of deportment was a singular constancy of sentiment and a provincial intensity of feeling. Of Washington, particularly, it can no longer be doubted that his passional nature was extraordinarily strong. Thanks to sander biography, the coldly correct man whom we once tried vainly to like or to admire has disappeared. He has given place to a man of truly terrific passions, wonderfully controlled. Of all the incidents and anecdotes, none perhaps illustrates better the extent of his self-rule than the story of the officer whom he ordered across the Delaware, and who returned and reported that the river could not be crossed. Instantly-Washington hurled at the man's head the heavy inkstand from which he was writing, exclaiming in a burst of ungovernable fury, "Then go back and send me a man!" In this compelling combination of will and passion he had no rival among his fellows; but all save Madison impress --- ```markdown ``` WASHINGTON WALKING FOR THE LAST TIME AT MOUNT VERNON, WITH HIS CONSTANT COMPANION NELLY CUSTIS.

SUPPOSED PORTRAIT OF MARY, MOTHER OF GEORGE WASHINGTON. the student of their lives with their capacity for a great and single devotion to causes and to men. My own belief is that in this capacity the Southern planters have always excelled. It is a characteristic of provincials, particularly if they be country-bred. Along with it there went in these Virginians, who were nearly all well bred and trained in a good school of hospitality, a capacity for cordial personal relationships which was also of great advantage in their public careers. It is generally agreed that their social equipment was superior to that of most men whom they encountered at congresses and conventions and in the army. Their speech was sweeter; their männers easier and more cordial. It is even reasonable to believe that their individual characteristics, their personalities, were more marked and therefore more attractive; that they were, as one says nowadays, more "interesting" than the average colonial statesman and captain. For this is what most travelers in America in that period seem to have found, and it is what a comparison of the great plantation with other American communities would lead us to expect. These fine qualities were all, in one way or another, sources of power and leadership. Back of them was that which used and informed them all—the habit of leadership, the constant expectation and desire of power. And this was the gift of the slave. Of all the reasons why Washington and his neighbors took the highest places during the Revolution and for several decades thereafter, none was more potent than their being used to so much authority at home; and of all the causes of that habit of their lives, no other was SUPPOSED PORTRAIT OF WASH nearly so important as slavery. When Washington took command of the army at Cambridge, he was surprised to find how little respect the Massachusetts officers got, or seemed even to expect, from the men. He wrote back to Richard Henry Lee that they were, apparently, "mainly of the same kidney with the privates." That, evidently, was not the way things were done in Virginia. If we should seek now in America a class comparable to the great slaveowners for naturalness in command, for masterfulness, we should find their closest counterparts in the men who, all over the country, are at the head of the greatest industries—in the managers of corporate enterprise. Here, then, were certain qualities in Washington which I think we may attribute in some measure, probably in a great measure, to his being a Southerner, and of the class uppermost in that society. Most of us will think them admirable qualities, and they were all conductue to his rise and eminence. But when we try to estimate the cost of breeding men like him we come upon a darker view of the colonial South; and when we read his own words concerning the Southern question of the day it ```markdown ``` appears that no one in the country, unless it was Jefferson, saw more clearly than he what was at fault in his own Virginia and on his own plantations. "I never mean," he wrote to one correspondent, "unless some particular circumstances should compel me to it, to possess another slave by purchase, it being among my first wishes to see some plan adopted by which slavery in this country may be abolished by law." He would not sell the overplus of his own slaves, because he was "principled against this kind of traffic in the human species," nor hire them out, because they could not be disposed in families, and he had an aversion to disperse a family. He heartily supported Lafayette's scheme of colonization. His will gave freedom to his own slaves so soon as his wife's death should free a much larger mass with which some of them had formed family ties. His desire was for gradual emancipation by State legislation, but he foresaw many hardships, and an utterly anomalous place in society for the freedmen. The minute provisions in his will for the care of the very young, the aged, and the inform among his own blacks show that, though an abolitionist, he was by no means deluded into the notion that abolition would prove a solution of the race problem. His constant practice of justice, kindness, and mercy in all his relations with negroes shows better than could any words how he thought individual Southerners could ameliorate a situation which even to-day we have found no means essentially to change. This, in crude brevity, is what we know of Washington, the Southern- MARY, MOTHER OF GEORGE INGTON, er; of what Southern civilization did for him, and what he did and would have done for the South. Looking at the matter from both points of view, one feels that no better Southerner has ever lived.—The Independent. THE POWEL SHADOW PROFILE OF WASHINGTON.

FITZ GERALD. $ ^{9} $ There are few more curious or profitable industries than that of catching and exporting the edible turtle for the benefit of the gourmets of the world, who love turtle soup, not to mention invalids and our weaker brethren generally, whose LAID ON THEIR BACKS THE lives may be saved by this peculiar delicacy, which appears to possess nutritive properties of a very high order. These appear to be due to the easily assimilable form in which the nitrogenous and gelatinous constituents exist in the flesh of the turtle. The trade itself is unique. Its headquarters are at Kingston, In Jamaica, but most of the fishing is done on the coral reefs lying to the north of the island. Twelve or fifteen small schooners are employed, and upward of 120 men. ```markdown ``` A Scene in a Turtle Market. These fishers of strange "fish" (the turtle's technical name) stretch nets of twine from rock to rock, and the moment the turtle feels itself entangled, it clings tenaciously to the meshes. The schooners in due time return to Kingston with from eighty 105 splendid turtles out of 120 have died en route, in spite of the most elaborate precautions. The average weight of each is about 165 pounds, and the wholesale price ranges from twenty to twenty-five cents per pound. The flesh is divided into what are known as calipee, calipash and fins. The flesh is said to be colored green by the peculiar grass that grows on the coral reefs where the turtles feed. The winter season is naturally the busiest for the turtle trade, and the 1 to a hundred and fifty of these queer" "fish," which are promptly deposited, in palissaded inclosures flooded by the sea, and here they are fed upon a certain kind of herbage known as turtle grass, and taken as required. Everything about these creatures appears to be abnormal. For example, they have three hearts, and the appearance of four. Moreover, bringing them over seas is as delicate a business as the case would be with a cargo of giraffes, and frequently E TURTLES ARE HELPLESS. parts used in the famous soup are the membranes of the stomach and back-shell. A great industry is growing up in canned and bottled turtle products, quite apart from the live "fish." A visit to the cellars in which these huge creatures are stored is an uncanny experience. Here one may see a veritable menagerie of edible turtles, rustling about on a bed of sweet straw. From time to time they lift up their peculiar heads, and utter strange sounds like the faint, hoarse bark of a small dog.—Scientific American. Admiral Wouldn't Be Bluffed The Kaiser is a quick eater and the instant he lays down his knife and fork the waiters make a descent upon the plates of all at table, whether they have finished or not, and clear for the next course. One day the Emperor had on his right an old admiral whose racy bluntness of speech he much relishes. The old salt is also a bit of a gourmer, and it so happened that one of the dishes was his own particular favorite. But the Emperor piled him so with questions and talk—perhaps of malice prepense—that the old fellow could scarcely get a chance for a mouthful before the sovereign's knife and fork were laid down and there was the regulation clearance rush. A grasp had already been hailed on the Admiral's plate, but, red with anger, he dug his fork into the intruding hand with a gruff "Get out!" and went on with relish amid a general roar of laughter—London Globe. Color and Light. The peculiar simplicity of the country darky in the South is illustrated by a story told by Representative John Sharp Williams. An old negro had gone to a postoffice in Mississippi and offered for the mail a letter that was over the weight specified for a single stamp. "This is too heavy," said the postmaster. "You will have to put another stamp on it." The old darky's eyes widened in astonishment. "Will anudder stamp make it any lighter, boss?" he asked.—Harper's Weekly. A Benefit All Round.

The only solution of the present "problem," is justice. And it does not lie in the mouths or hands of the Negroes to administer justice; it is justice he humbly anxiously craves In Alabama there is one Republican county, Winston. At the last election it went so overwhelmingly Republican that the Alabama legislature contemplates putting on the ban by abolishing the election system in that county and have its affairs conducted by commissioners appointed by the governor. In this state we have two towns that are similarly governed, Darien and St. Mary's. So far as the government of the towns is concerned; the citizens have no voice whatever simply because the greater number of votes are among the colored people. This is one of the acts of justice (?) being inflicted upon us by our white friends. The Herald truthfully says that the old time first and second class fares was a better solution for keeping order on trains than anything else and this should be imposed and exacted on all passengers. But there is no justice in making any well behaved intelligent person ride in a little old dirty chicken coop coach with just any kind of low villains that think no more of smoking, swearing or taking out their whiskey bottle and treating to drinks in a refined lady's face than they do in a bar room. Railroad companies should be required to have such coaches that will accommodate both classes. There are colored ladies just as refined and cultured as those of any other race and they should be treated with the same respect and consideration when traveling as are the others. Nothing has ever been required of the railroad companies by the states for the best class of colored travellers and hence they think that anything is good enough for a Negro woman or man. This country, as much as it boasts, is far behind others in the decent treatment of its citizens who are deserving and worthy. Mock Lynching. Unfortunately for us we have as members of our race a number of persons who are void of pride of race and who would pose at any time in derision of the race for the edification of those of an opposite race. Along this line the following resolutions from the colored citizens of Argyle, Ga., are presented: Be it resolved, That we the colored citizens of Argyle, State of Georgia, of the County of Ulunch, do most solemnly and heartily condemn the fake or mock lynching of one Will Brown, on the streets of Argyle, by the whites for no other purpose, than to take pictures: to be sold or sent to different parts of the country for "Jun." Be it Resolved, That we emphatically denounce such pictures as they are: sit-only to create bad sentiment between some members of the races, we therefore as christian workers and peaceable citizens, ask the support of the county loving white friends in denouncing such pictures, where ever they may appear. We ask your disapproval of any Negro that will have a rope tied around his neck and drawn up in a fake or mock lynching position to have his picture taken for fun. All of which we humbly submit to the best elements of both races as we are for the peace and harmony of our county. The colored citizens of Clinch County, Ga. A. N. Fluker, J. H. Bucken, J. A. Burton, Rev. J. K. Rogers, Tuskegee s Farmer s Conference. The sixteenth annual session of the Tuskegee Negro Conference began here today at the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. The great chapel of the school, where President Roosevelt spoke a few months ago, was crowded with the hundreds of farmers and their wives and educators from all parts of the South and from the North as well, when the session was called to order at 10 o'clock. These Negro Conferences grew out of an idea, which, sixteen years ago called the Negro farmers of the Southern States together for the purpose of conferring as to their moral and material condition. From a few then, representing one state alone, the Conferences have grown so that at this session all of the Southern States were represented by farmers coming even from as far west as Texas. In his address to the farmers Dr. Booker T Washington said tersely that "Any black man who is worth his salt can build a decent home—can raise a respectable family—can secure all of the work he wishes—can educate his children—can have freedom of religious worship—can secure and maintain the respect and confidence of his neighbors, of both races. But we must not be satisfied with what we have achieved in the past. We must continue to go forward. Our progress in the future must be more satisfactory than heretofore." Lincoln Institute. The following is an excerpt from an article on Lincoln Institute, which appears in the Colored American Magazine, and which was written by Mrs. J. S. Yates, of our faculty. *To-day, under the management of Dr. B. F. Allen, a Christian gentleman of rare executive ability and scholarly attainments, and a faculty whose members represent the training of the best schools in the country, East, West, North, and South, it stands second to none of the great schools of the United States, any part of whose work is the professional training of teachers. The Missouri legislators and their constituents are so thoroughly impressed with the direct value of the school to the colored citizens, that they hesitate not at all to grant at each session of the Legislature the full amount of money that, in the judgment of the President and Regents, from term to term is found necessary to maintain the high standard of excellence which always has constituted "the Lincoln Institute idea." In 1003 the amount thus secured for the school by Dr. Allen was $14,350, in 1905 the amount was $77,400; in 1907, undoubtedly there will be a proportionate increase; and for such liberty of sentiment, the dominant race in Missouri merits and receives the fervent gratitude of its Negro citizens. From its model school, in which normal students obtain actual experience in teaching, to the senior normal year, in its college courses, in its summer school, one of the best in the country, in atmosphere equipment, and all of those elements that combine to create and maintain a professional school of high order. Lincoln Institute is well and favorably known as presenting in many respects, ideal conditions. Record- There Must be Funeral Reforms Editor Tribune : It was my privilege to visit two funerals conducted by the Rev. Richard Bright of St. Stephen's Church, and I assure your readers that the terseness of the ceremony and manner of conducting same is just what ministers of other denominations should imitate—the terse part of it, I mean especially. The funeral of Mr. Armstrong was one of the largest recently had, with three secret institutions to conduct ceremonies, and yet it took less than three hours for the entire services. I am willing to wager that if the funeral services of Mr. Armstrong were held in certain other churches, it would have taken more than twice the time. Pastors of the various churches should consider this and also think of the trying ordeal through which the mourners have to undergo, and the many times passionate appeal to feeling. They should also try to shorten their services, because there is now a threat of an increase of price on carriages for colored funerals, because colored funerals, keep their carriages out twice as long as does white funerals. If this increase be made, the bereaved family would have to pay it, and it would all be because the ministers prolong the services. Let the ministers consider these things and act for the good of the people. This is extended with a spirit for good, and it is expected that it would be accepted in the same way. Negro,Building. The corner-stone of the Negro Building, Jamestown Exposition, was laid Thursday of last week. This building, which was planned by W. Sidney Pittman, a Negro Architect, who received his training at Tuskegee, Institute, is being erected by Bolling & Everatt, Negro contractors of Lynchburg, Va. The ceremonies were performed by the Masonio Grand Lodge of Virginia and music was furnished by the Hampton Institute band. Speeches were made by Andrew F. Hilyer, Secretary of the Executive Committee, Giles B. Jackson, Director General of the Negro Development & Exposition Company, W. I. Johnson President of the Company, R. T Hill, Treasurer, and Robert Kelser, Secrety y. Mrs A. M. Curtis, Fiscal Agent for the Tr-aury Department made an address on the Negro Woman's part, Thomas J. Caloway, Chairman of the Executive Committee, also spoke. This day was chosen as the day for the laying of the corner stone because it was the birthday of Frederick Douglass, the historic anti-slavery agitator. It developed from the speeches that rapid progress is being made in the collection of exhibits, and that this celebration by the colored people at the Jameetown Exposition is the greatest exhibit of its kind that has ever been had. A number of interesting features were announced among them was the large exhibit that is being prepared by the Hampton Institute. Bunker T. Washington who could not be present on account a previous engagement, wrote as follows: "It seems to me that is it the duty as well as the opportunity of the colored people in every part of this country, wherever possible to make contributions of exhibits showing their skill and handicraft. In this way we shall be able to convince a great many people of our merits as a race, and our rights and privileges to Amer can citizenship. Who will be Appointed? Mr. Editor: Allow me space to announce my regrets at the death of Mr. Armstrong, the able manager of the Metropolitan Company. Since his death, I am informed that there is a scramble for his place as manager. The logical person as his successor is Mr Fred M. Cohen, who knows more about the office than any one else. It is rumored that some one not connected with the company will be appointed over Mr Cohen; it is hoped that this is untrue. The friends of Mr. Cohen will resent this because they feel that he deserves promotion and the company will make quite a mistake by not recognizing his worth. We will await the company's action and note if the same will meet the approval of its patrons. Petition for Incorporation State of Georgia, County of Chatham.

A FEW REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD BECOME A STOCKHOLDER IN THE UNION SAVINGS. First—It is a sound and safe Negro concern, and offer a safe investment for your savings. Second—It is a purely local concern, operated and controlled by men who live here and who are largely interested in Savannah, Georgia and the South. Third—Every dollar of money invested in the Union Savings is kept in the South and used to upbuild Negro business, among our people. Fourth—The Union Savings will in the near future erect a handsome Negro Bank Building, where you can go and be treated as men and women; no "Jim Crow." Fifth—We shall look to the establishment of a large Department Store which will give employment to many of the men and women, boys and girls of our race. Sixth—We pay you a reasonable rate of interest on your money, and do not use all the profits to enrich a few. Seventh—Because in "Union there is strength" and we must unite for self help and self protection, and self elevation. Eighth—We shall assist our people in owning their own homes by buying and building for them upon reasonable terms. Stop renting and become a home owner. Ninth—We mean to open the door of hope to the Negro boys and girls. Tenth - We mean to demonstrate to the world that the Negro has real ability, that he is honest and that he is capable, and for these reasons you should do your busi ness with the Union Savings & Loan Co. 90 State Street, West.

The first of these stages is womanhood, or the change from a care free girl to budding womanhood. The second is motherhood, and the third is Change of Life. Petals surround each of these stages, and most of the misery that comes to women through ill health dates from one or another of these important crises. Women should remember that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound made from native roots and herbs has carried thousands of young girls over the critical period of puberty, has prepared mothers for childbirth, and in later years carried them safely through the change of life more successfully than any other remedy in the world. Thousands of testimonials from grateful persons, two of which are here published, substantiate this fact beyond contradiction. Mrs. George Walters of Woodlawn, Ill. writes: "I feel it my duty to tell you of the good Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done me in preparing for childbirth. After suffering and losing my children a flower was to try to repair which deine, and the result was that I had very little inconvenience, a quick recovery and During its long record of more actual cures, entitles Lydia E.

Millions of 'em in those showcases over there." Method Employed Along the Coast Lands of England. In various parts of the country flight nets are used on certain parts of the coast for taking birds during the night-time, but those at Friskney, on the Wash, in Lincolnshire, have become famous on account of their size and the quantity of birds that are taken in them. On this particular portion of the coast, says the London Daily Graphic, the tide goes out for a very long way. Next to the big sea bank, which prevents the surrounding country from being flooded, there is a large marsh intersected with dykes, and covered with glass wort, which is locally known as samphire; next to this is a big stretch of sand, and following this is a vast mud flat, famous for its cockles. There are several men there who work flight nets—George Bray, the old wildfowler, has four of the longest, consisting of eleven lengths, each length of net being thirty-six yards long and about six feet deep, made of fine, strong black cotton twine, with a mesh six inches square. Along the top and bottom of the net runs a the thin strong cord to attach it to a strong ash pole, which is placed at every thirty-seven yards distance. The lower running cord is attached to the pole about two feet from the ground, so that here is plenty of slack. If it were placed at its full stretch the birds in striking would often be thrown back and escape, instead of being curled up in a hopeless tangle. The best time to catch the wildfowl is on what are known as the "darks," that is, dark, stormy nights with high tides and the wind blowing north and northeast. Quiet moonlight nights are bad, as the birds, flying loy, see the net and avoid the snare by "sling over the top of it." Of course with so large a mesh many small birds pass through without beings caught, and, being of thin twine, often when a large bunch of duck or geese strike it they go clean through it, leaving nothing but a big rent in the net and a few feathers to tell the tale. The writer has seen various ducks and gulls, woodcock, snake, plovers, owls and many different species, both large and small, caught in the toils. One has to visit the net at daybreak to take out the spoil, otherwise the gulls and the gray backed crowds make very short work of the poor captives. In netting the ubiquitous and destructive sparrow all that is needed is a special sparrow net, pocketed on two long, thin poles. The fly on the house sides and walls and the stocks in the farmyards are worked all over by raising the net as high as possible, clapping it on to the wall or stuck, and then drawing it gradually downward. The birds, as they are disturbed, fly out into the toils. Several scores of birds may be captured in an evening. Says the Christain Register overwork on the railroads with consequent nervous exhaustion, is given as one cause of the congestion of the car supply in the North-west. This also is a cause of the numerous railway accidents. Two explanations are given. One is the greed of railway owners and managers who will not employ men enough to reduce the strain of overwork. The other is the lack of laborers who are willing to earn good wages offered by railway corporations. We believe there is an increasing tendency to pay good wages and give employees fair treatment. DREADED TO EAT A Quaker Couple's Experience. How many persons dread to eat their meals, although actually hungry nearly all the time! Nature never intended this should be so, for we are given a thing called appetite that should guide us as to what the system needs at any time and can digest. But we get in a hurry, swallow our food very much as we shovel coal into the furnace, and our sense of appetite becomes unnatural and perverted. Then we eat the wrong kind of food or eat too much, and there you are—indigestion and its accompanying miseries. A Phila, lady said the other day: "My husband and I have been sick and nervous for 15 or 20 years from drinking coffee — feverish, indigestion, totally unfit, a good part of the time, for work or pleasure. We actually dreaded to eat our meals. "We tried doctors and patent medicines that counted up into hundreds of dollars, with little if any benefit. "Accidentally, a small package of Postum came into my hands. I made some according to directions, with surprising results. We both liked it and not used any coffee since. "The dull feeling after meals has left us and we feel better every way. We are so well satisfied with Postum that we recommend it to our friends who have been made sick and nervous and miserable by coffee." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

READ WRONG BUMP. Phrenological Faddist Runs Up Against a Deceptive Protuberance. "Bump" parties are a new form of entertainment adopted by women's clubs this season that bids fair to rival whist and bridge, that is, if all are as successful as the one given yesterday afternoon by the press committee of the Rainy Day Club, in the home of Mrs. Thomas H. Whitney, 411 West End avenue. "Bump" parties are entertaining, even exciting. The diversion is created by a woman phrenologist, who takes herself very seriously. If husbands of members of the Rainy Day Club are importted to build houses regardless of cost, so that the mistress may have an opportunity to decorate the interior and prove her artistic temperament, they need not be surprised, for it will only be another evidence of the effect of the "bump" party. One "Daisy" of uncertain age was warned not to marry by the phrenologist. "Don't you marry; don't even consider it, until you are really ready," she was told, "for it would be a pity for you to make a mistake and wed too soon or get the wrong men." Another prominent member was startled by hearing the reader say, after carefully rubbing the "bumps" on her head: "You have robbed some one, and if there had been a twin I should feel sorry for it." "You are cold and reticent," said the reader to another woman, "and it took your husband years to make an impression." "Six," declared the subject amid shouts of laughter from the other members. "You are still inclined to keep your own counsel," continued the phrenologist, "for you tell your husband only such things as you think best for him to know." In the midst of one flattering reading, the subject grew red and quite confused and finally announced that the "bump" being felt was not a real one, but a piece of padding that kept up her pompadour. There is but one undesirable feature to such entertainments, and that is that the most elaborate of colfures are disarranged by the hands of the phrenologist as she works over a "bump" of affection or tries to find a lump of genius or a point of locality, and sidecombs and jeweled ornaments are sacrificed—New York Herald. Might Have Been Painless. "Gentlemen of the jury," erupted the attorney for the plaintiff, addressing the twelve Arkansas peers who were sitting in judgment and on their respective shoulder blades, in a damage suit against a grasping corporation for killing a cow, "if the train had been running as slow as it should have been ran, if the bell had been rung as it ort to have been rang, or the whistle had been blown as it should have been blew, none of which was did, the cow would not have been injured when she was killed!"—Ram's Horn. Western Follies in the East In the East one may be a bachelor and in virtue thereof enjoy the hospitality, of a bachelor's married friends indefinitely, but the moment after the bachelor commits the indiscretion of marriage the Nemesis of tennis and bridge parties overtakes him with the same ruthlessness with which he preyed for entertainment on those who had married before him. The moral of the East for young men with economical views is—don't marry.

Brooklyn, N. Y.—Preaching at the Irving Square Presbyterian Church on the theme, "Representing Christ," the pastor, the Rev. Ira Wemmell Henderson, took as his text John 12: 34-35, "A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are My disciples, if ye have love one to another." He said: This, to my mind, is one of the broadest, most far reaching, most widely inclusive of the moral duties that our Lord has made obligatory upon those who wish to enter into the Christian life. The time and the scene are familiar to us all. The Supper is over; Christ has washed the feet of His disciples; the betrayer is named and deserves this errand of shame. The end is very near. A few hours and Calvary. With the knowledge of His approaching suffering weighing heavily on His heart, the Saviour with a more than kingly courage speaks His words of comfort and command. Only eleven men, and they soon sorely to be tried, hear the melody of His voice; but to our hearts He speaks sooyly, and sooyly some kindly yet affectionately, to the faithful, swept the faithful, fickle, strangely human, souls of that little band to whose ministry we owe so much. This "new commandment" that our Master enjoins upon the disciples demands equal obedience from us. In it is embodied the essence of the whole moral law. To be true sons of the Father we must exemplify in our own lives those very qualities of love and of loveliness that are the secret of the Saviour to draw men, everywhere and at all times, unto Himself. With our every thought and word and act, we must represent the Christ. With all our moral and spiritual forces, given to us of God and dedicated to His service, must we re-present the message of salvation. Let us look for a moment at the character of the love which Christ demands of us who would serve Him truest. With Him there is no letting down either in degree or in kind. Christ asks of us the same ideal love that He spread wide about Him whithersoever He went. "Even as I have loved you," so shall ye love one another. "Not a simple comparison, but a conformity; the love is to be of the same nature," the commentators tell us. Thus we see, that, in short, we are, in our love, to be Christlike. No mere sentimentality, no passing fancy or passion, is this love of which the Christ is typical. It transcends and includes all our personal passions. All the heart's emotions are at their best when the love of Christ reigning within us, they are expressions of that alteristic, world-including affection which the Nazarene calls forth. The influence of the Christ makes for greater beauty in all the gardens of the soul. Everywhere in life we find it to be so. The gentle light that glances from the mother's eye becomes a holy, steadfast glow when once the power of the loving, living Christ is felt within the soul. All love that is worthy of the name is beautified, enobled, sanctified by the incomings of the Spirit of Almighty God, the Comforter from Christ. The Christ life without the Christ love cannot be. The life implies the love. The incoming Christ compels an outgoing love; and only in the measure that we pour out our love upon our fellow men do we live truest for Christ and closest to His side. Thus, we see that, in essence and in sum, our love as Christian men and women must measure true to the character of the love which was in Jesus Christ Himself. A cursory examination of these words, of the Master would lead the reader, perhaps, to conclude that this love that the Saviour showered upon His disciples and to which He hade the eleven to conform was to be confined in its application to themselves only, or at best to those who would accept the Gospel and its messenger. To be sure, there is a mighty element of truth contained even in this limited, short-sighted, rather self-centred view. Christ did mean and does mean that Christians should practice-all the arts of love within the circle of those who have heard the call and have answered it. Perhaps it would be better, no not perhaps, but certainly it would be best, for the Christian household of faith, individually and collectively, to make effective in their lives the highest principles of ideal love laid down by Christ. But as we read closer and enter more fully into the mind of the grader-message in these parling commands. Listen once again to His words: "Even as I have loved you." Do you not see the great, shadowful lying just within the shadow of you." And how had He loved you? Moses, you know, brought the children of Israel up from the confines of the land of Jehovah's promise. And the name of Jehovah's is held in reverent memory by the host of that scattered people of God everywhere to-day. But this Christ, this despised Nazarene, had found these men struggling not only with unwholesome economic and ecclesiastical conditions, but with inner and spiritual distress. True to the purpose and motive of His life Christ had given them the way unto spiritual salvation and, with it, the means to the cleansing of the entire civil life of the world. He had come down from the Father's house beyond the immeasurable blue and, taking upon Himself the burdens and the sins of human kind, had started these men out upon the sure highway that leads to spiritual perfectness and all temporal joy. He had found them in the light. There was no question in Christ's mind as to the depth of their philosophy, or as to the bulk of their purses, or as to the fit of their clothes. He did not inquire, so far as we have record, into their ancestry, so to be sure that they were worthy to be in the social set of one who was of the line of David. Ah, of Christ took them, one and all, at their face value—as men and sinners. He saw in them only men waiting and longing for the touch of a loving hand and the comfort of a sure salvation. He called them and they left their work, their families and their friends, and they followed where He led. And, as they followed, He taught them, and He showed them how, by the power that He alone could give, they might work social and spiritual miracles and transformations in their own lives and also in the lives of other men and of nations. And, withal, He loved them with that might, godly love where with none other had ever lived before. Such was the love of Christ to his affection. In the broadest interpretation, that He lavished upon them. Such was the love which, in its fullest application, He wished them to manifest to all men. He had loved them as sinners. They must love other men in sin. He had dealt kindly and patiently and with all forebearance with them. They must do the same with their fellows. To be sure, they were to strive for harmony among themselves at all times that they might be known and read of all men as His disciples. Only thus could their teachings gain or retain a merited respect. But the wider expression of the love of Christ that was spread abroad in their hearts demanded, as it demands today, that they look upon all men in sin, as well as upon all Christians, as brothers—and love them. But, I hear some one ask, suppose Christian men to-day do love, specifically, and generically, as Christ comes upon the disciples should love, what then? That is just the point that I wish to consider. This command of Christ, in its application both to the relation of the Christian to the other faithful and to the world of men in sin about him, is just as imperative upon us as it was upon any of the eleven. And the outworking of that Christ principle in all the departments of human activity will ensure the final solution of all difficulties that now perplex and distress us and the consummation of the Kingdom of our Lord. It is so perfectly easy and so very simple that the case and simplicity of it all astonishes us. We have become so accustomed that we hardly need to solve. We seem to take much joy to assure ourselves of the almost insurmountable difficulty to set the world right with the eternal plan off God. We would much rather, so it would seem, that the whole matter remain complex. We think, perhaps, that God will be easy or us if we fall in a difficult task. Beloved, it is difficult, it is wellnight, yea actually, insurmountable, this sin in the world, when squared to the possibilities of our own unaided powers. But did we open our hearts wide toward Heaven once, and let the power of the Spirit of the living Father fill us to the full; did we but empty out our Spirit-filled hearts in love upon our fellow men; did we but put into action once this simple plan of God toward the rehabilitation of the world, we would learn, and that quickly, what are the possibilities of the power that cometh from on high. And the only way to rectify the results of the spiritual, moral, economic and political sins of this world, individual and social, is to teach the world of action through the world of men about you. This done, the task is light, for our basis of action is changed. We no longer rely upon the wisdom of the philosophies of men and their theories, but we clutch tightly to the power arm of that Ruler of us all to whom all things are possible—and we seize the first thing first. Now this command of Christ to love one another even as he has loved us, is imperative. It is mandatory and not permissive. If we would be good Christians of full and regular standing in the household of faith we must obey. It is not for us to decide whether or not in our case the law shall be valid. Christ commands, and only by obedience to His demand do we so live that all men shall know that we are His disciples. The test of fidelity is in obedience. Lip testimony is judged by facty in service. Some one has said: "What you do speaks so loud that I cannot hear what you say." It is this central fact that Christ recognizes when He commands a loving ordering of our outward life. We are Christians, but do we live the life of love? These words of Christ should come home to each of us with more than usual force at this season of the year. Christmas is over; shortly we shall be face to face with those sadder days which are so full of memories of Him who, for our sakes, suffered even Ignoblest death. It is fitting that we should re-dedicate ourselves to the work that He so dearly loved. In His own good Providence God has seen proper to make use of us to redeem the world. It remains for us to decide to co-operate with Him and to do good work for the kingdom. Shall we put our shoulders to the wheel or shall we add weight to the load? Shall we not drink deep at the fountain of God's love; shall we not be messengers of His healing, love unto this weary, sincrushed world? Only as we breathe the Spirit of His love do we represent Him. Let us open then our hearts both God-ward and man-ward; and fill the world with Christ's uplifting, sanctifying love. "A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another; even as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are My disciples, if ye have love one to another." The True Church. There are some few churches left to show the type to which all churches must return. Next to the home and the family the true church represents to its members helpfulness, sympathy and every gracious and homelike virtue. Heavenly activity is fruitless without heavenly attributes.

"My baby was about nine months old when she had rash on her face and feet. Her feet seemed to irritate her most, especially nights. They would cause her to be broken of her rest, and sometimes she would cry until she was tired out. I had always used Cuticura Soap myself, and had heard of so many cures by the Cuticura Remedies that I thought I would give them a trial. The improvement was noticeable in a few hours, and before I had used one box of the Cuticura Ointment her feet were well and have never troubled her since. I also used it to remove what is known as 'cradle cap' from her head, and it worked like a charm, as it cleansed and healed the scalp at the same time. Now I keep Cuticura Ointment on hand in case of any little rash or insect bites, as it takes out the inflammation at once. Perhaps this may be the means of helping other suffering babies. M.

VICTIMS MOSTLY WOMEN Train Was Loaded With Theater Matinee Party and Was Going Sixty Miles an Hour When It Twenty dead, two fatally hurt and 145 others more or less seriously injured, is the result of the wreck of an electric express train on the New York Central railroad at 205th street and Webster avenue, New York City, Saturday night. Of the large number of injured, fifty, according to the hospital and police reports, are seriously hurt and the death list may be increased. Most of the others are suffering from lacerations or shock and will recover. The train was filled with matinee crowds and commuters, and was made up of two electric motors, a combination baggage and smoking car and four passenger coaches. It left the Grand Central station at 6:15 o'clock with the first scheduled stop at White Plains. It was running at high speed, probably 60 miles an hour, when it reached Woodlawn road, where there is a sharp curve. The motors and the second car took the curve safely, but the following coaches were derailed and tumbling on their sides, were dragged 100 yards before the coupling gave way and the four cars piled together in ruins at the foot of a low embankment. A sheet of electric flame enveloped the rear car, and for a moment threatened to roast the victims plionned in the debris. The flames did not, however, spread, and the horror of a holocaust was avoided. As the cars fell they smashed the third roll, breaking the current and ending the danger from this source. In the crash which followed, there was death for many, while practically every one in the four coaches received injuries of some sort. Many were ground to pieces, and for hours identification was almost hopeless. As the cars went over many of the passengers were thrown into or through the windows, and so cut and mathed. Of those instantly killed, by far the greater number were women. Many were mingled beyond recognition. Ambulances and surgeons from every hospital in Ironx borough, and from Bellevue in Manhattan, responded to hurry calls, as did the two fire engine companies and the police reserves from many stations. Many of the injured were quickly extricated from the wreckage, while others were so pinioned that they could not be taken out for some time. Those most seriously injured were hurried to hospitals, while coroners took charge of the dead as fast as the bodies were recovered. Fire started in the overturned cars, but the flames were quickly extinguished, and the firemen lent their aid to the injured. The cause of the wreck has not been officially determined. At the Grand Central station there was an inclination to blame the accident to the spreading of rails, but later it was said that it was believed that the axle of the first passenger coach broke, throwing the cars from the track. DELEGATES PASS THE LIE. Strenuous Encounter Enlivens Oklahoma Constitutional Convention.

Three Prisoners Released from Atlanta Pen to Face Other Charges. Out of the federal prison at Atlanta where they had done five years for postoffice robbery in South Carolina, three men, with charges of bank robbery against them, stepped into the arms, of Carolina officers Monday, who were in Atlanta awaiting their discharges. To Succeed Gen. Wint, While Duval, of the Department of the Gulf, is A. Washington special says: Because of physical disability, Brigadier General Theodore J. Wint, in command of the army of Cuban pacification, has asked for and been granted three months' leave of absence. Brigadier General Thomas H. Barry, assistant chief of staff, will at once leave for Cuba to relieve him. General Barry's orders to the command in Cuba, which he will obey, created an important vacancy in the army general staff which the president has filled by the appointment of Brigadier General William P. Duvall, in command of the Department of the Gulf, who consequently becomes the principal assistant to Major General Bell, chief of general staff. General Duvall will be succeeded in command of the Department of the Gulf by Brigadier Edgerly. The fact that Brigadier General William P. Duvall will be assigned to duty in Washington and will have to leave Atlanta will be a matter of real regret, for since his assignment to Atlanta, General Duvall has, through his uniform courtesy, as well as his recognized ability as an officer, also made a host of Atlanta friends and admirers. In the department of the gulf, of which he is the head, he is revered and respected by his associates, officers and the enlisted men as scarcely any other commander since the opening of the department. Lately General Duvall has been prominent as the head of the board of the United States army recommending the purchase of a large amount of land, over 32,000 acres, adjoining the Fort Oglethorpe reservation, for the purpose of increasing this from a regimental to a brigade post and also providing for a big maneuver grounds in connection with the Fort Oglethorpe reservation and Chickamauga Park. This purchase recommended was approved by Secretary of War Taft, and is now awaiting the action of congress. Several officers were interviewed regarding General Edgerly, who will head the department of the gulf. Thess stated that he held a most enviable reputation as an army officer, together with a charm of personality such as had won him very many friends, both in military and civil life. BRUTES GET THEIR DESERTS. Two White Men Hung in Kentucky for Criminally Assaulting Girl. W. R. Fletcher and Guy H. Lyon were hanged in Russellville, Ky., at sunrise Friday morning for criminal assault committed on Mary E. Glader May 22, 1905. The necks of both were broken by the drop. Each made long talks on the gallows, denying their guilt and declaring that their lives had been sworn away by false witnesses. Lyon attempted suicide Thursday night by opening a blood vessel in his left arm with a tin spoon, which had been sharpened. Physicians injected nearly a gallon of artificial blood into the man, which revived him, but he was so weak Friday morning that he had to be supported to the scaffold. Jim Lyon, a brother of Guy Lyon, and J. H. Sacra were indicted jointly, and when taken to Russellville for trial a mob attacked the jail, and Sacra, in the confusion, escaped, but was shot and severely wounded, and for this reason he was granted a new trial. Jim Lyon turned state's evidence and was sentenced to twenty years' imprisonment. The assault on Mary Glauer was committed near Russellville, where the girl and her father, an old German, had stopped for the night. The men forced the girl's father to drink a lot of whiskey, and during a drunken stupor the girl was assaulted. STARTLING ARRESTS PROMISED. High Officials of Road Responsible for Deadly Wreck: With information in his possession tending to show that high officials of the New York Central railroad are criminally responsible for the wreck on the Harlem division of the road Saturday night, in which twenty persons met death, Assistant District Attorney Smith, before the inquest began in New York Monday, announced that several startling arrests would probably be made.

SPINNERS DECLARE WAR Commissioner Garfield Construes Resolution for Probing Exchanges to Include Cotton Association and Farmers' Union. A Washington dispatch says: Corporation Commissioner Garfield has construed the Livingston-Burleson cotton resolution, that recently passed the house, to provide not only for the investigation of the cotton exchanges dealing in futures, but also for an investigation of the methods of, the great cotton and cotton seed associations of the south. He accordingly proposes to direct an inquiry into the methods of the Farmers' National Union, the Southern Cotton Association, the National Ginners' Association and other organizations of similar character. The views of the corporation commissioner are not as yet generally known among the southern congressmen, but the few that have heard of his intention express great surprise. When the attitude of the department becomes generally known, it is bound to create a sensation, and will no doubt meet with resentment in the south among the members of the associations to be affected by the inquiry. Representative William C. Lovering of Massachusetts, the member of the interstate commerce committee, who reported the demanded resolution, is authority for the statement that the corporation commissioner will investigate the associations of the south in connection with the cotton exchanges. He himself is a member of the New York cotton exchange, at which the original resolution was directed. Mr. Lovering was also responsible for the amendments that were tacked onto the original resolution, and he now very calmly asserts that it was his purpose at the time to incorporate all of the associations of the south. "Why have a one-sided investigation?" he asked when seen Friday. "Certainly the corporation commissioner will investigate the Farmers' Union, the Southern Cotton Association, the National Ginners, etc. He can do nothing else under the provisions of the resolution as it passed the house. It was our purpose to have a thorough investigation." Representative Lovering continued by saying that, in his opinion, the associations of the south were organized to advance the price of cotton, etc. He said these associations are as much responsible for the fluctuations as is the New York cotton exchange, of which he is a member, Mr. Lovering is a New England spinner, and as such he insists that the spinners are entitled to know why and how the price of cotton is advanced as much so as the farmers of the south are to know why and how it is beaten down. "The associations of the south are combinations to bolster the price of cotton," continued Mr. Lovering, "and I can assure you that the corporation commissioner will be given testimony to bear out this statement." It now develops that Mr. Lovering has been careful to have the amended resolution so worded that the organizations were included. He was wise enough to say not a word about this and as no one else suspected as much at the time the resolution was unanimously passed. While it is known that the Southern Cotton Association, the Farmers' Union, etc., are legitimate organization along co-operative lines and should have nothing to fear from an investigation, it is known that certain interests are anxious to destroy their usefulness if possible. Representative Livingston expressed surprise when informed of the new turn the matter has taken. He insisted there must be a mistake, and claimed that the corporation commissioner had no right to investigate the cotton associations under the terms of the resolution. "It specifically provides for an investigation of cotton exchanges and makes no mention of the associations of the south," he said, "but Mr. Loving quotes the resolution as it passed the house and as he says the corporation commissioner understands it." TEXAS BARS C. O. D. BOOZE. Governor Signs Bill Imposing a Tax of $5,000. The announcement that Governor Campbell, of Texas, has signed the bill imposing a tax of $5,000 for each office deliverying C. O. D. shipments of liquor in local option districts, has occasioned an order from the state express company's prohibiting the future handling of such merchandise. Balk at Agreement Reached on 'Frieca School Question and Declare Matters Are Made Decidedly Worse. A Washington special says: The amendment to the immigration bill drawn by Secretary Root, which was the basis of a compromise on the Japanese-California matter, has not settled the difficulty. The Japanese do not accept it as a settlement. At the Japanese embassy, the position is taken as neither the amendment in the immigration bill, nor the arrangement about separate schools in California for "allen children" mentions Japanese any more than the children of Chinese or Hindoos, the Japanese are not involved in it, and have no interest whatever in this settlement, made by the president and the mayor of San Francisco, congress concurring. It is further learned that not only are the Japanese not considering that this Schmitz-Roosevelt compromise has settled any differences between the United States and Japan, but distinctly declare that the arrangement, on the contrary, leads further from settlement. Japan's grievance in the beginning was that the Japanese were excluded from the schools of California. Now in "settling" the difficulty, the president and Mayor Schmitz have gone one step further and while continuing, in effect, to deny Japanese admission to the schools of California, have actually fixed up a provision for the declared purpose of excluding Japanese from the United States, which, it is declared, is adding insult to injury. The efficacy of the whole plan whereby the president is to exclude Japanese coolies was predicated upon the theory that Japan does not want her coolies to enter this country. This turns out to be a mistake, or rather it is a mistake, to suppose that Japan is willing to allow the United States to exclude these coolies, abiltum, and give absolutely nothing in return. Still, as Japanese coolies are not specifically mentioned, Japan will not consider she is referred to, and is left free to enter protest at the first infringement of what she considers her rights under the treaty now existing. Another provision of the new arrangement is distinctly distasteful to Japan, and the Japanese government will not accept it. This is the provision accepting the right of Japanese who have entered Hawaii to come to the mainland of the United States. Hawaii is not an insular possession. It is territory of the United States, and the Japanese claim that the United States government has no more right to prevent a Japanese in Hawaii from going to San Francisco than it has to prevent a German, say at Chicago from going to Boston Thus it is clearly indicated that the Japanese quarrel not only has not been settled, but grows worse. VIOLATED BUCKET SHOP LAW. Atlanta Man Found Guilty on Two Counts in Superior Court. A jury in the superior court, criminal division, in Atlanta, returned a verdict of guilty on two counts against C. N. Anderson. Mr. Anderson is found guilty not only of violating the Boykin anti-bucket shop bill, but also of keeping and maintaining a gaming house. The jury was out 15 minutes. There are several other cases pending against alleged violators of the Boykin bill, and they will be taken up in their regular order. It has been announced that the verdict will be appealed to the supreme court. THREE IMMIGRANT STATIONS To Be Located in South Get Favorable Committee Report.

INIMICAL TO THE SOUTH Is Anti-Japanese Clause in Immigration Bill Before House. A Washington, special says: The Democratic senators further uncovered the real dangers hidden in the immigration bill reported by the conference committee at Saturday's session. SMALL COMFORT FOR GARDNER Secretary Strauss Upholds Soulina on Immigration Quest Representative Gardner of chusets is certainly entitled the consolation he can derive the exhaustive report made house Tuesday by Secretary of the department of commer It was shown that the bill would undoubtedly restrict southern immigration and retard the growth and expansion of southern industries. Senator DuBolse, of Idaho, made the point that it was direct legislation on the part of the president, and Senator Tillman showed that its effect was to give six men, the conferees, the power that is supposed to reside in ninety senators and three hundred and eighty-odd representatives. Senator Culberson said if it was proposed to exclude the Japanese, the conferees could introduce a joint resolution which could promptly be passed and which would exclude Japanese immigration. The clause which is incorporated in the bill leaves the entire matter in the hands of the president; and he is thus made master of the situation and is free to deal with the entire international question, growing out of the San Francisco school matter as he sees fit. It is understood Mayor Schmidt, of San Francisco; is satisfied with this solution. Senator Hacon, of Georgia, brought up the rumors that he and Senator Tillman, had been coerced into submission by threats of the opposition reducing the river and harbor appropriations for Georgia and South Carolina. He expressed his frank belief that the rumor was unfounded. Senator Aldrich promptly, disclaimed any responsibility or knowledge of the suggested attempt to force the submission of Senators Bacon and Tillman to the passage of the immigration bill. Most of the Democrats fear the outcome of the measure dealing with immigration and the only outspoken one on the other side was Senator Simmons, of North Carolina, who declared he did not believe the south would suffer in consequence of the new enactment. The conference report, as adopted, contains a provision which authorizes the president to exclude Japanese laborers from the United States at his discretion. The report will now go to the house for its approval, which, as has been stated, is assured. Jake ——, cured of bad case of Gonorrhoea and Gleet. Mary, Burk, 219 Jones Lane, cured of rheumatism.

SMALL COMFORT FOR GARDNER. Secretary Strauss Upholds South Carolina on Immigration Question. Representative Gardner of Massachusetts is certainly entitled to all the consolation he can derive from the exhaustive report made to the house Tuesday by Secretary Strauss of the department of commerce and labor in regard to South Carolina's immigration scheme. The secretary makes a plain statement of the facts in the case of E. J. Watson and the Wittekind, showing that Commissioner Watson consulted the department at every stage of his campaign for immigrants to go to South Carolina and had the co-operation and approval of the commissioner of immigration for every plan and project entered upon by him. DIRTY WORK OF AN ENEMY. Bollers of Cruiser Yorktown Secretly Fixed for an Explosion. It became known Friday that a secret inquiry is being held at Mare island navy yard, Valejo, Cal., in connection with the condition of the boilers of the cruiser Yorktown. The Yorktown had been ordered to Magdalena to protect American interests in troubled Central America, but just before starting it was found that her boilers were leaking badly, and an examination showed that eleven rivets had been removed, apparently deliberately. Had the Yorktown been allowed to proceed, it is stated, the Bennington horror would have been duplicated. The flagship Chicago was dispatched south in place of the Yorktown.
