VOL. XXII. Jap Question Continues to Engross Attention. PASSPORT FEATURE IS NIL How Southern Senators View Immigration Amendment Which is Alreday Claimed to Be Ineffective A Washington special says: The Japanese passport ameddment, which places within the power of the president the exclusion of Japanese coolies from the continental territory of the United States, recently rushed through congress in the in migration bill over the protest of southern senators, has not accomplished what was claimed for it. It has already been developed that the Japanese are not satisfied and feel that the injury done to national pride by the exclusion of Japanese from the California schools has been followed by an insult in the shape of exclusion of Japanese working men from American shores. The right of entry into the public schools is held by the Japanese to be a right accorded them under the existing treaty. The people of California insist that no such interpretation of the treaty is possible, and, furthermore, that the interests of the American working man on the Pacific coast require the exclusion of Japanese cooleds. If under the amendment authorizing him to exclude Japanese laborers coming to this country to the "Detriment of labor conditions therein," the president is unsuccessful in securing a Japanese exclusion treaty, it is rumored that he may urge upon congress the passage of a straight out Japanese exclusion act. As usual, momentary public interest was centered in the outcome of the conference between President Roosevelt, Mayor Schmitz and the members of the San Francisco school Joan, held to reach a solution of the vexed question in which considerations of child protection and morality and the rights of American labor and the sacred rights of a sovereign state, as well as the wider problems of national trade and international comity, were intricately woven. The talk of war was injected into the discussion, and for a time the entire American press as well as the papers in Tokyo, Berlin, Paris and London were discussing such an eventuosity. Of course nothing has come of it, but it served to accentuate the importance of the issues involved and to show what might happen. The carrying out of that olan of settlement finally agreed upon was lodged in the hands of President Roosevelt. Southern senators charged that the Japanese passport amendment was inserted to secure the support of senators as well as of a public sentiment for a bill that could not ordinarily pass on its merits because of the incorporation in it of many unjust provisions. Senators Paton and Tillman argued that it would restrict immigration to the south by forbidding the continuation of the South Carolina plan of bringing in immigrants. This objection was discussed at a cabinet meeting at white house and the opinion was given out that the bill was not subject to such a construction. Later the immigration commissioner of the department of commerce and lator said there was no intention on the part of the department to estop Commissioner Watson in his work of bringing over immigrants on the Wuttekind. These interpretations are contrary to the views held by Senator Lodge, Representative Gardner and members of the conferences on the immigration bill. They would stop such importations and believe that even when this work is carried on by an officer of the state, it is contrary to law. They seek to show that it is in violation of the contract labor law. ROTTEN RECITAL ENDED. Jerome Finishes Grueling Cross-Examination of Thaw's Wife. A New York dispatch says: Mrs. Evelyn Nesbitt Thaw's long ordeal upon the witness stand at the trial of her husband, for the killing of Stanford White, came to an end Tuesday. Mr. Jerome finished his cross-examination, which had lashed through nearly five court days, at the morning session. The redirect examination and recross-examination Tuesday afternoon were of the briefest character, and just prior to adjournment, it was announced that the defendant's wife had finally been excused. The Savannah Tribune. In Burning School Building at Montreal, Quebec — Principal Also Loses Life in Rescue Work. At Montreal, Quebec, Tuesday afternoon, sixteen school children and the principal, Miss Maxwell, perished in a fire which broke out in Hochelaga School of the Protestant school commission. The school was located in a brick two-story building in the east end of the city and was attended by about 204 children. The fire started from the furnace and was first noticed by some workmen employed nearby. The teachers were notified and the work of getting the children out of the building began. The kindergarten department was located on the second floor and it was here that the loss of life occurred. The children were started out, but on reaching the landing found the lower hall full of smoke. Into this they, refused to descend, though the way jat this time was quite safe. Huddled together on the stairway at first they retreated to the rooms from which they had gone. When the firemen arrived an extension ladder was placed in position, and a large number of children were rescued in this way. Assisting in the work was Miss Maxwell. The fire by this time was making its way upwards and the smoke was growing so dense that even the experienced firemen could not stand it. Efforts were made to get Miss Maxwell to go down the ladder, but she refused and evading the attempt to detain her, rushed back into the back part of the building in search of others of the little ones. When the firemen were finally able to make their way to the back portion of the building, she was found lying on the floor with a little one beside her. All those who perished died from asphyxiation. The building was unprovided with fire escapes. PRESIDENT IS CRITICIZED For Yielding to Opposition and Rejecting Oliver Canal Bid. The announcement that the bid of William J. Oliver of Knoxville, Tenn., for the construction of the Panama canal would be rejected, and the government itself undertake the work, through the engineering corps of the army, provoked considerable discussion in Washington. Much of it is decidedly unfriendly to the administration. It is hinted that Chief Engineer Stephens' resignation was requested. Ever since the bid of Contractor Oliver for the construction of the Panama canal was given out, and it was seen his bid was the lowest, the York, whose bid was also before the York, whose bid is also before the canal commission, have exerted every effort through an influential lobby to defeat the award of the work on the basis advertised, as it would naturally then have gone to the southern man The president was friendly to Oliver and after several conferences with Secretary Taft and the members of the canal commission was unofficially quoted as saying that if Oliver could make such a financial showing as was required to prove his ability to carry out the canal contract his bid would be accepted. Oliver immediately announced his entire willingness and ability to make such a showing and submitted a schedule of assets proving his claim. It developed that he had strong financial backing from capitalists in both Washington and New York. The contract on which bids for the work were asked was also assailed. The McArthur-Gillespie combination announced that there were serious flaws in it that would permit a contractor to exercise very wide latitude in performing the work and that the advertisement calling for bids was hungled and afforded legal ground for practices that would not inure to the benefit of the government. It now develops that the purpose of the lobby maintained by the McArthur-Gillespie combination was to have the government either reject all others, and make a call for new bids, or to undertake the work on its own responsibility, in the belief that the latter plan, would soon prove unsatisfactory, and another opportunity would be afforded to submit bids. AN EPIDEMIC OF TYPHOID Rages. on Battleship Connecticut. at Guantanamo. Cuba The secretary of the navy has received a dispatch from Rear Admiral Evans, commanding the Atlantic fleet, stating that the battleship Connecticut will sail immediately from Guantanamo for the north with a typhoid epidemic aboard, there being thirty-five cases now under treatment. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. MARCH 2. 1907. CURSES BY BAILEY Heaped Upon His Enemies in Texas Legislature. Senator Wins Out With Flying Colors in Galling Investigation and Comes Back at His Traducers in Hot Fashion. By a vote of 70 to 40 out of a possible 123 votes, 18 members being absent, United States Senator Joseph W. Bailey was exonerated by the lower house of the Texas legislature at Austin Wednesday night of charges of irregular acts in public life, as alleged by Representative Cocke of the lower house on January 14, last. Action which resulted in this exoneration was precipitated at the time stated, after three days of private consultation between house members and friends of Senator Bailey and concludes some six weeks of investigation that has occasioned Senator Baileys constant attendance in Austin. On Monday last, by a vote of 15 to 11, the senate exonerated Senator Bailey without waiting to hear the report of the investigating committee, and Wednesday night the house took like action to the extent of acting on the recommendation of a majority of the Investigating committee for complete exoneration without the submission of the evidence. The opponents of Senator Bailey pleaded to have the evidence submitted before being asked to vote, but the Bailey forces, slightly in the majority, forced a vote and won out as outlined above. The galleries of the house had been crowded with spectators, many ladies being present since early afternoon awaiting the dramatic event, and once Senator Bailey's exoneration was assured by the adoption of the majority report declaring that there was nothing in the evidence in any way reflecting upon him, the calimax was reached when Senator Bailey appeared and addressed the house. He gave every evidence of laboring under the suppressed excitement of the past few days, especially with its intense mental strain, and delivered himself of a speech decidedly critical and emphatic in the matter of reviewing those who have seen fit to oppose him during the investigation. Senator Bailey, while bitterly abusing those who opposed him, announced that he was going to continue as United States senator from Texas for at least three terms. He said in part: "You have just concluded the most remarkable campaign ever witnessed in any state of the American union, and it be said to your honor that you have concluded it in accordance with the wilt of the sovereign people. "The conspirators have been given a wholesome lesson. Never will they attempt it again within this generation. Never again will they wear the honors of Texas democracy in their life. Such men would betray a republic if Hessians were for hire. The leader of the contest was a man who has gambled with negroes, and if he attempts to deny it I will prove it on him. "One of them was convicted of embezzlement and yet he is here drawing his cloak about him saying that he cannot keep the democratic commandments. "These are hard words and I intend them to be. I wish I had words of hate with which to criticize them. See what they have done. They have lied about me. Their master is Hearst, who has led this fight against me in Texas. The leader in this fight is the man, who had this telegram published lying on the legislature, claiming that it was corrupted by wine, women and song. Hearst has his emissaries and agents in the Texas legislature today. "They seek to destroy my usefulness, but thank God I am too far above them to hurt it." Meets No Objection on Part of Governor Carter of Hawaii. According to advices from Honolulu, nothing that has happened in a long time in Hawaii has created the same widespread interest as Governor Carter's announcement in an interview that he had been willing that his daughter should marry a Japanese. It is the subject of discussion everywhere. The newspapers are bombarded with communications condemning it. ROOSEVELT PROMISED But Falth Was Broken, Intimates Oliver, Anent Canal Bld—South Well resented on New Board. A Washington dispatch says: William J. Oliver, the lowest bidder* on the Panama canal work, refuses to say anything just now regarding the action of the president and the commissioners in rejecting the bid which he submitted in response to the government advertisement. it is understood, however, he has prepared a full statement of the case, which he will give out for publication in a few days. It is said to include a signed letter from President Roosevelt, announcing that he was favorable to Mr. Oliver, and practically admitting the southern contractor would be awarded the work. The corporation organized by Mr. Oliver and organized as the Panama Canal Construction company will be dissolved. Mr. Oliver says that he had spent $40,000 in the preparation of his bids, and in the organization of the construction company. The impression in Washington is that the latest move is simply a plan to delay action for a few months, when another set of bids will be asked for. It is probable the government will await a report from the army engineers as to the advisability of digging the canal by contract and under their supervision. Under the reorganization of the Panama canal commission, as contemplated by President Roosevelt, the south will be given a most liberal showing. Five of the seven members of the commission to be named by the president are from the southern states. They are: Messrs. Gorgas and Silbert of Alabama, Gallard and Jackson Smith of South Carolina and Joe Blackburn of Kentucky. Senator Blackburn retires from the senate on March 4. He intended upon his retirement to private life to enter the practice of law, but was strongly indorsed to the president by his democratic colleagues for some republican appointment, and in response to this demand will be named a member of the reorganized commission. His salary will be $10,000 per year. TO SAVE HER BROTHERS. Bride of an Hour Tells Pathetic Story of Her Betrayal. Mrs. William Bywaters, whose husband was killed by her brothers, James and Philip Strother, on the night of December 15 last, a few moments after his marriage to their sister, was the principal witness in their trial at Culpepper, Va., Wednesday. She was placed on the stand by counsel for the defense, and although pale and wan, and being compelled to come into court in an invalid chair, she maintained her composure, and, when court adjourned for lunch, con, had completed her direct and cross-examination. Beginning with her early association with the dead man and with her love for him, she told the jury of her betrayal under promise or marriage, of her pleadings with Bywaters to make reparation, of Bywaters' insistence upon a criminal operation, of her refusal at first and then her agreement and visits to Washington in company with Bywaters where two operations were performed. She described how, when her condition became known to her brothers and she broke down and confessed, they demanded of her betrayer that he immediately marry her. In answer to a question she said that she did not think that Bywaters at first intended to marry her. She described the restless desire of Bywaters to leave her within a short time after the ceremony and then of her brother's opening fire upon him. She was unable to give minute details of the shooting, as she was too overcome by the excitement of the moment. SHALLENBERGER, RESIGNS. Second Assistant Postmaster General Tires of His Job. Official announcement was made in Washington Wednesday by Postmaster General Cortelyou of the resignation of W. S. Shallenberger, second assistant postmaster general. Mr Shallenberger submitted his resignation to President Roosevelt on February 7th, and it was accepted by the president Wednesday. Mr. Shallenberger will continue as second assistant probably for several weeks longer. Big Boozo Plant Burns. The plant of the Old Vincennes Distilling company at Vincennes, Ind.. was partially destroyed by fire Wednesday. The loss is estimated at between $150,000 and $225,000, covered by insurance. FOR FAIR SERVICE At the Hands of Railroads Fruit Growers to Act. WILL APPEAL THEIR CASE Order Will-Be Requested of Interstate Commerce Commission Requiring Refrigerator Cars and Other The convention of the Georgia Peach Growers' Association held in Atlanta the past week was generally conceded to be one of the most important in the history of the association. The action taken by the convention in the matter of the following resolution, unanimously passed, it is believed will lead to very beneficial results. These resolutions are as follows: "Resolved by the fruit growers of Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Tennessee and South Carolina assembled in Atlanta, Ga." "That, whereas, in all lines of trade except refrigeration the seller is required to measure or weigh out to the buyer the product sold, while in refrigeration the shipper pays whatever price is asked without knowing either how much ice is used, how often it is placed in cars, nor, which is more important than all, how much refrigeration is secure; "Now, therefore, be it resolved, That the committee on transportation be instructed to secure an order from the Interstate Commerce Commission, or an act of congress, if that be found to be necessary, requiring that all refrigerator cars used by interstate common carriers in transporting products under refrigeration from one state into another state be equipped with recording thermometers of such type as may be approved by the Interstate Commerce Commission, which shall record in duplicate the temperature of the car at all times from the time the product to be shipped under refrigeration is loaded until it reaches its destination, and that the consignee shall have the privilege of examining such thermometer, and taking therefrom one of the duplicate records, the other duplicate record being retained by the carrier or the refrigerator company. "And that this action be taken in time for the equipment of cars with thermometers that are to be used in transporting the 1907 fruit crop from Georgia. "Resolved; further, That the order or act so secured shall provide that the Interstate Commerce Commission shall as soon as practicable ascertain and adopt a certain standard or maximum degree of refrigeration suitable for the proper and safe transportation of fruits and other perishable products shipped under ice, and shall require all refrigerator companies to maintain and furnish such degree of temperature as may be so adopted as the standard." The facts, figures and suggestions made in the report of W. H. Harris of Fort Valley also made a great impression on the fruit growers present. Not only fruit growers, but all shipers of produce will be certain to share in the benefits, in the carrying out of these same suggestions by Mr. Harris For this and other reasons, there are a very great many Georgians who are vitally interested in the passing of the legislation proposed by this delegate from Fort Valley. With the installation of the registering thermometers, according to the testimony of the fruit growers and shippers at the convention, there would be a sure and certain way of holding the transportation companies responsible, and in this way thousands of dollars would be saved to the Georgia fruit and produce shipers every year because of the exact records of the registering thermometers. SANTO DOMINGO TREATY. Rushed Through Senate by Close Vote of 23 to 19. By a vote of 23 to 19 the senate Monday night ratified the Santo Domingo treaty. This was one more vote in the affirmative than was required. Senator Bacon of Georgia condemned the pending treaty as worse than that negotiated in 1905, the supplanted by the pending one. The 1905 treaty authorized the United States to examine into the debts and pay what was justly due. STILL JABBING AT SOUTH Massachusetts Representative Not Yet Satisfied Over Immigration Matter—Seeks More Light. The opponents of immigration into the south are not yet satisfied. In order to keep up the agitation the committee on immigration has now requested the president to direct the attorney genera to give his opinion upon the question as to whether the importation into South Carolina of the Wittkelnd immigrants by Commissioner Watson violated the alien contract labor laws, or whether in the imposition of those immigrants any law has been violated. The inspirer of this request is Representative Gardner of Massachusetts, who is second in rank on the immigration committee of the house. The president has not yet been heard from as to the disposition he will make of this request, and an congress is about to adjourn, the attorney general would have little time to prepare an opinion on this matter. Moreover, the house would have no time to take up the matter at this late day, in the event the attorney general should say that the law was violated. It is expected, however, that the attorney general will give in any event such an opinion as will let congress and the country know whether or not the two immigration laws just passed will prevent further importation of the immigrants under conditions similar to those of the Wittekind immigrants, that is, whether the commissioner may use money subscribed by private individuals, or a cotton mill, or other association for the purpose. SENATOR BAILEY EXONERATED. His Friends in Texas Legislature Take Snap Action. The Texas state senate Monday, by a vote of 15 to 11; adopted a resolution dismissing the Bailey investigating committee before the committee could prepare a report. The resolution adopted exonerates Senator Bailey in every particular. At 11 o'clock the anti-Bailley following offered a resolution instructing the committee not to bring in a report at this time, but to send a subcommittee to St. Louis to secure the testimony of H. Clay Pierce of the Waters-Pierce Oil company, and to embody such evidence in its final report. Adherents of Senator Bailey very promptly offered a substitute that the investigating committee be discharged at once without making a report, and that Senator Bailey may be fully endorsed. After a rather heated debate the substitute resolution was passed by a vote of 15 to 11. Mr. Bailey's friends contended that every member of the legislature, as well as the general public, was fully acquainted with all details of the evidence before the committee by reason of its publicity in the daily, press of the country, and members of the senate could vote now on the question with intelligence. JUDGE WOFFORD GOES HENCE Was Noted for His Quaint Philosophy. Served in Georgia Regiment. John W. Wofford, judge of the criminal court in Kansas City, noted for his quaint philosophy, died Monday, aged 66 years. He held a wife has a right to "go through her husband's pockets," saying that when a man married he conferred this pro-operative upon his wife. He served with distinction in the Confederate army in Georgia regiment. SAVANNAH CORRALS VAGRANTS War Starts With Rounding Up of 150 in One Night. The Savannah, Ga., police department started to solve the labor problem Monday night. Orders were issued to the night force to look out for the vagrants. The police obeyed the instructions with a vengeance. The result was that 150 alleged vagrants had been rounded up at midnight and placed in the barracks. WRONG MAN WAS NABBED. Sleuth Hotel Keeper Thought He Had Absconding Banker. Ilarry Buckley, of the White House at West Point, Ga., won't get $5,000 or any part of it for the sleuth act he played a few days ago, an act resulting in the arrest of a man in Opelika, Ala., Friday, who, Buckley declared, was William F Walker, the defaulting New Britain, Conn., bank cashler. After passing twenty hours in the Opelika jail the prisoner, who gave his name as W. Harper, was released by order of Mayor Williams.

R. E. Parsi Georgia Cullings Curtailed Items of Interest Gathered at Random. The commission appointed by Governor Terrell to inquire into the sanity of John Bullard, sentenced to be hanged in Marietta, for shooting and killing his daughter last September, returned a verdict declaring Bullard sane. * * * Indications are that this year the legislature's appropriation of $590,000 for the pension fund will lack $20,000 of being enough. Unless individuals offer to loan the state the amount of the deficit, the veterans will not be able to get their money until the legislature meets and appropriates a sufficient amount. Death Claims Legislator. Rev. Ellijah Roper, the present member of the legislature from Pickens county, died at Nelson a few days ago of paralysis. Mr. Roper was about 60 years of age. Mr. Roper was away from his home when the attack came. He was standing in the street talking to some friends when he was seen to fall. He was carried into the hotel at Nelson and lingered for some time before death came. * * * Want Steamers During Exposition. A movement has been started in Savannah to have the Baltimore and Philadelphia steamers, or some of them, stop at Norfolk, Va., during the progress of the Jamestown Exposition. Mayor Tiedeman has taken the matter up with the Board of Trade and Chamber of Commerce. It is believed that the arrangement would be mutually beneficial to the steamship company and the exposition management and Sayannah. To Await Higher Decision. No more cases against the alleged violators of the Boykin law will be heard by Judge Roan in Atlanta until the court of appeals hands down a decision on the C. N. Anderson verdict, which will be carried to the high court, by his attorneys. In the meantime the hearings of the other nine indicted men will be continued under the condition that these suspend operations until the court of appeals takes action on the test case. A. B. & A. Trains to LaGrange. Train service between Brunswick SOL. C. JOHNSON, Supt. of Ageno Treasurer of the State of Georgia. and LaGrange will be inaugurated over the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railroad on March 3, the schedules from Brunswick to Oglethorpe remaining as before, the new service being continued west of Oglethorpe. According to the new schedules, train No. 1 will leave Waycross at 8:20 a.m., arriving at LaGrange at 6:05 p.m. Returning train No. 4 will leave LaGrange at 10 o'clock in the morning, arriving at Waycross at 7:15 in the evening. The A. B. & A. expects to inaugurate train service into Atlanta the coming summer. Fruit Growers After Railroads. The members of the Georgia Fruit Growers' Association, and growers of the adjoining states of Alabama, Florida, Tennessee and South Carolina, in session at Atlanta the past week, authorized the committee on transportation to raise a fund to bring about a reduction of freight rates on fruit shipments. The committee is authorized to assess growers an amount ranging from 25 to 50 cents, the fund thus raised to be expended for the litigation necessary in bringing complaints of the growers before the interstate commerce commission, which is authorized under the new rate law to compel the railroads to adopt certain rates. ```markdown ``` 4. Eleven Mayors on Committee. Governor Terrell has appointed a commission consisting of one mayor from each congressional district in the state to co-operate with himself and Miss Louise DuBose of Athens in arranging for the securing and presentation of a silver service to the battleship Georgia at Jamestown on June 10, which is Georgia day at the exposition. It is understood that Governor Terrell desires to have certain cities in the state to manage the presentation of different parts of the silver service. In order to do this he expects each one of the municipalities to take a part in the event. County School Commissioners. Two new county school commission-W. G. Avera, Berren county, who sucers have recently been elected; Hon.ceeds Hon. J. H. Gary, and Hon. L. M. Chastain, Rabun county, who succeeds Professor A. J. Ritchle. The association of county school commissioners of Georgia will meet in Milledgeville on the last week in April, and at that time important matters concerning the common schools of the state will be discussed, and some needed legislation suggested to the members of the next general assembly. The week, following, the Georgia Teachers Asso- ation will convene in annual session in Macon, thus giving an opportunity of attending that meeting without extra expense. Habersham Gets School. At a meeting of the board of trustees of the Agricultural and Mechanical school for the ninth congressional district, to select a site for the school in that district, the bid of Habersham county was adoected amid great enthusiasm on the part of the contingent from that county. The successful bid calls for a cash donation of $25,000, 300 acres of land, free water and free telephone service. The land, is located a few miles north of Clarkesville and is said to be one of the best sites in the state. There were bids received from three counties—Habersham, Hall and Jackson. Hall county submitted three bids: first, 500 acres of land at Klondike and $30,000; second, 500 acres of land at Oakland and $31,000; third, 250 acres of land at Lula and ` $30,500. Jackson county offered $20,000 and 450 acres of land at Nicholson, or $20,000 and 300 acres at Commerce. To Develop Anthony Shoals. Prospects for the speedy development of Anthony Shoals on Broad river grow brighter daily; The return of Messrs. T. M. and J H. Fitzpatrick, purchasers of the property, from a successful stay in New York, the paying off of options given by the land owners in the neighborhood of the shoals, and the presence in Washington of the owners, their attorney and engineer, are strong indications of the fact that the preliminaries are past and actual preparations are under way which will ultimately result in the expenditure of between $5,000,000 and $6,000,000. Since the visit of Messrs Fitzpatrick to New York recently the ownership of this property on Broad river has passed out of their hands into the control of a large northern electrical concern, with a capital of several millions of dollars, which makes a business of developing big water powers like that at Anthony Shoals on Broad river, and Ringjaw shoals on the Savannah.

The mixture of medicine and miracle is familiar to us in books of travel dealing with remote and savage regions, such as Zululand, Morocco, Asiatic Turkey and China, where the family "practitioner" squats by the roadside selling amulets and charms, love philtres, mysterious protection against invisible enemies, and cures for all ills, even more weird than those of the witches in "Macbeth." But who would look for witch and wizard doctors at this day in civilized France? It need hardly be said that their habitat is beautiful old Brittany — that paradise of artists, where the world has stood still for centuries and all conditions of life are in some respects as backward as they were in the twilight days of King Arthur and his knights. Even the marriage ceremonies, with their barbaric open air feasts and dances and the queer "pursuit" of the bride, are survivals of paganism when marriage by capture was in vogue. The Bretons speak a tongue of their own, and in many villages of the Department of Morbihan French is entirely unknown. Everywhere one comes across quiet old manners and customs, for the people are filled with superstition and cling to the manners of their forefathers with positive fanaticism. This is nowhere more in evidence than in the matter of the village doctor or doctorress—grave persons laconic in speech, and supposed to be filled with all knowledge of the heavens and the earth and things that are under the earth. Their treatment is in some respects little less drastic than that of the witch doctors of Northern Slam (the Laos States), where all allions are supposed to be due to demons in the patient, who has his back most cruelly lacerated with tigers' claws that the evil spirit may find a way out. In villages like Concarnau or lovely old Quimperle one meets the Breton magician-doctor at his best. It may be the patient is a fisherman who has badly sprained his back on a lugger, and knows no peace until the doctor is sent for. The treatment in many cases is given in the open air, for a number of reasons. First, the roars and yells of the victim, much diminished by space, do not so greatly distress his relatives; and, moreover, the scene draws a small crowd of respectful spectators who are vastly impressed by the wonderful skill or occult knowledge of the operator. The wizard doctor of Brittany has no "bedside manner" to speak of. He is sent for for a specific object, and strives to attain this in the most direct and vigorous manner possible, well knowing that unless his herb potions are appallingly nauseous and drastic in result and his bone setting a matter of agony little faith would be put in him and his payments in cash and kind would dwindle to the vanishing point as murmurs against his feeble methods slipped from village to village. A matter like neuralgia, being difficult to cure in any showy or dramatic/manner, calls for the "magic wand," with much caballistic muttering and "laying on of hands," more or less after the manner of the apostles. Some of these so-called doctors unquestionably have a rude notion of bone setting, and their treatment of sprains and simple fractures, although causing intense pain to the patient, undoubtedly attains its object. The women doctors are usually old, with a primitive knowledge of the effects of certain herbs upon the system, and their specialty is the treatment of children and women. Their methods would excite dismay in New York, London or Paris, but a most touching and implicit faith is put in them, even when they act as dentists by the old string and chair method. Fees are frequently paid in grain, hay, native costumes and silver ornaments, but the women also often pay the witch doctors by means of their own hair. It should be explained that there is a regular hair harvest in Brittany, and the girls and women do not mind much parting with their back tresses, because the native Breton bonnet conceals the loss. The doctors also practice a certain kind of hypnotism, especially in the case of nervous affections, and frequently succeed in persuading a patient (even with blows, curses and contumely) that there is nothing at all the matter with him, and that he ought to be ashamed of himself giving up work these hard times and causing anxiety to his friends and relatives! Mud poultices, cats' fur, dogs' hair, human blood, parchment with mysterious words written on it—these are some of the "remedies" which the quack doctors of Brittany commonly use, and which are believed in by the patients with the faith that moveth mountains. The more successful of these village practitioners employ assistants, especially in dislocation cases, where the patient is likely to put up a stout resistance to the drastic and painful methods employed to put the bone back into its place. In some of the very smallest of Breton villages, however, the man or woman doctor adopts this honorable profession only as occasion may arise, and as a kind of "side line." Thus it may be a small farmer og.an old woman who keeps a tiny store— both of them, with an hereditary knowledge and a taste for the cure of ills. It must be borne in mind that even these "occasional" doctors enjoy their need of respect and local renown, and are frequently called upon to cure a sick baby or growing child, or even to treat an adult person with strange drugs of their own brewing, of course entirely unknown to the pharmacopoeia, and seriously applied. For the physician in most cases believes as implicitly in the treatment as the patient himself; the former has seen these weird remedies applied all the days of his life, and well knows they have come down from time immemorial. It is the doctor, too, who is frequently employed as a "go-between" in initiating the elaborate and complicated ceremonies that mark a Breton wedding.—New York Tribune. BACK TO NATURE. Wealthy Swiss Woman Lived in the Woods and Acted Like an Ape. Scientists are greatly interested in a woman who has reverted to the habits of the highest apes, who, in seven years of solitary wandering in lonely mountains, has forgotten the civilizing influences into which she was born and has regained the super acute sense of hearing and the tree climbing power which prehistoric man possessed. She is a widow of a wealthy merchant of Geneva. Some time before her husband's death she deserted their luxurious home in this city and vanished utterly. Some whispered that she was jealous of a certain opera singer. Others gossiped that she gambled and had contracted debts of which she dared not tell her husband; Again, it was said that for her eccentricities she had been immured in a neighboring asylum. It is known now that the woman, who was delicately reared, went away. She wandered into the thick forests of Hautesavoy, a most sparsely settled country. There she has existed for seven years, munching nuts and berries, seeking refuge in lonely grottos against the winter's rigors. Growing bolder at last, she penetrated to the outer edge of the forest. Her appearance, almost demoniac, terrified the peasants, who told the police of the wild vision that had presented itself. She eluded the police by darting into the thickets, which they could not penetrate, or by swinging herself from one of the tree branches far above the ground. Even when they captured her the police could learn nothing from her. She mumbled a jargon. She has been positively identified. Her husband left a fortune to her, but it is not likely she will enjoy it, for she has been incarcerated in an asylum. Geneva Correspondence Chicago Inter-Ocean. The Philosophic Grocer A retail grocer of Burlington displays on his store walls some trenchant placards. He is a recognized adept. in rhyming and effective ad, writing, especially in adapting current events to that end, but those quoted herewith display some innomely philosophic thought. This placard is placed directly over the clock, where all who look for the time of day will see this also: "What time is it? It's time to quit lying. Some people lie when they know the truth would be better." Here are some others: "If you get out of humor, before you swear count five. It works; we've tried it; you try." "Do you know the hardest thing in the world to do? Do unto others as you wish to be done by; try it for a day." "If you put good crackers into good soup, it will improve both." "Honesty may be the best policy but it keeps some people poor all their lives. But cheer up, Bill; you'll have wings while others are singed." "What's worse than a rotten egg? We don't know, unless it's the fellow who brings it to market." "We don't know which is the bigger fool—the one who orders a cake of yeast delivered, or the one who delivers it." Materializing the Flying Dutchman. Minterizing the Flying Dutchman. A strange sea phantom, which very probably has helped to create the legend of the Flying Dutchman, is stated to have been run to earth by the Argentine Government. Many vessels have reported after rounding the Horn that they have sighted what seemed to be a derelict vessel, or one in need of assistance, sailing in through the straits with decks awash. Vessels have run aground while trying to get near this mysterious apparition, under the belief that there must be a navigable passage for it to sail in. Now it has been finally identified in Le Maire Strait, one of a number of jagged rocks, which at five miles distance has the appearance of a bark running under short sails. Probably the white sails of the visionary vessel are produced by the sea bird whitened upper parts of the crag; the same course has often led to the lonely islet of Rockall, which lies out in the Atlantic to the west of the Hebrides and was the grave of a Norwegian emigrant ship a year or two ago, to be taken for a vessel under full sail.—Westminster Gazette. Should Have Trieed Heaven. Witness was at the house at about 3 o'clock on the previous afternoon, and he saw Priestley through the window. He rang the bell and the maid answered the door, but declined to open it, and told him to go to a warm place. He had been there about four times previously, and had not seen Priestley.—Southport (England) Guardian. NEW IDEAS IN TOILETTES THE NEW YORK TIMES New York City.—The close fitting little cap of the Dutch sort is one of the best liked head coverings for the smaller children and is always becoming, while it can be made from a variety of materials. Here are two that allow of almost every possible variation. The two-piece cap can be made of taffeta, of velvet, of cloth or silk, while the one-piece cap is adapted to the thinner materials and is peculiarly desirable for lawn and other washable fabrics. When made from this or from thin silk it can be ```markdown ``` lined throughout and consequently be made as warm and snug as need be. As illustrated the two-piece cap is made of white silk with the revers, in true Dutch style, daintily embroidered by hand while its points are held by rosettes of ribbon and there is a little frill of ribbon finishing the edge of the cap; the one-piece model is made of lawn with the revers of embroidery and the trimming of lawn rosettes and strings. The two-piece cap consists of the head portion and the crown, which are joined one to the other and can be finished with the revers or without as may be liked. The one-piece cap is shirred to form the crown and THE these shirrings can be drawn up by means of ribbons inserted in casings or simply formed by gathers as liked. There is a seam at the centre back of the head portion which can be joined or tied together at the edges, this latter plan being by far the better one when washable material is used, as the cap can then be laid open quite smooth and flat and laundered with perfect ease. It also allows a choice of a plain finish or the revers and the revers for either cape can be cut on the outlines illustrated. The quantity of material required for the medium size (one year) is, for either cap one-half yard of material twenty-one or three-eighth yard thirty-six inches wide with one and a half yards or ruffling. Festoon Necklaces in Favor. Festoon necklaces, which are "all the rage" in Paris, are equally high in favor on this side of the water. The new necklaces are accepted as welcome substitutes for jeweled dog collars and ropes of pearls. They would be a boon to scraggy necks, admirers of the new jewelry say, if the beauty doctors really have left any such necks. There is still a degree of "enviable slenderness" extant to which the gracefully looped necklaces probably will appeal. New Rain Coat. One of the new rain coat designs shows a loose back, the fulness of which is arranged in a deep box pleat held in place by the rounded lower edge of the yoke. Worn With Blue. Many of the furs are used almost entirely for trimmings. The natural lynx makes a very handsome fur set. It does delightfully as a boa, and it is very becoming made up into a big, flat pillow muff. It also trims a coat well, and it goes nicely with brown or with blue. It is just the fur for wear with a navy blue serge. Nine-Gored Skirt. The nine-gored skirt that is made with inverted pleats is a most satisfactory one from every point of view. It provides sufficient fulness for grace and flare at the lower edge, while it is stitched flat over the hips and is without bulk at that point. Again, it requires only a small amount of material where the gores can be cut in and out, and even where material must all be cut one way, leaves sufficiently large pieces to allow of cutting the suit or the gown from a comparatively small pattern. In this instance the material is a novelty goods of wool with threads of silk and the trimming is bands of taffeta, but braid can be similarly applied. Bands of broadcloth are well liked on rough material or on velvet or velveten and again the skirt can be finished with a stitched hem only. All seasonable materials that are used for walking skirts are appropriate. The skirt is cut in nine gores, these gores all being cut with extensions below the stitchings that are laid in inverted pleats and pressed flat. 6 There also are inverted pieces at the centre back beneath which the closing is made invisibly. The quantity of material required for the medium size is thirteen and a quarter yards twenty-seven, slx and a quarter yards forty-four or five and three-quarter yards fifty-two inches wide if material has figure or nap; seven and three-quarter yards twenty-seven, five and three-eighth yards forty-four or four yards fifty-two inches wide if it has not, with nine yards of banding to trim as illustrated. Spread of the Tip Graft. ```markdown ``` --- The manner in which the people of the United States are borrowing the tipping habit from Europe is a matter for grave concern. Take the case of your smiling friend the Pullman porter. Do you know that the dimes and quarters and half dollars given him by our traveling public every year amount to more than $2,000,000 and that we present him with $6000 every morning before breakfast? Let's figure it out. There are about $8000 porters in the employ of the Pullman company. If the total amount received by each of them was a dollar a day, that would be $8000. But in order to make allowance for time off and for stingy or frugal travelers who give little or nothing suppose we knock off a couple of thousand dollars every morning. That would make $6000 a day, or $2,190,000 for the year. This generosity on the part of the travelling public would be all right if the porters got the benefit of it. But they do not. Under present conditions the tips are merely another source of profit for the Pullman company. One would suppose that all the time of a grown up man, in most instances with a family to support, would at least be worth $10 a week, or $40 a month, to a concern earning millions of dividends. But the porter gets only $25 a month, and is left to get the remainder from the public. Therefore the Pullman company, on account of tips given to its employees, makes a saving of $15 per month on each of them, amounting to $120,000, or $1,440,000 a year. After the thousands of passengers arriving at their destination in this country every morning turn over $6000 to the Pullman porters, they give away another thousand to station boys who carry their bags out from the trains. Before they get comfortably settled down to the breakfast table another donation of $2000 or so is made to hack drivers. Then the waiters proceed to "get theirs." After the porters no other class of servants depends so much upon tins as the watters. In many of the large establishments in the cities the attendants have a perfectly organized system for securing and sharing the proceeds they get from the pubile. One way of working it is this: When you enter the dining room for a first meal at a hotel the head waiter places you at a table and then watches carefully when you leave to see if you fee the waiter. If you leave some change the head waiter claims part of it. If the one who attended you should refuse to divide, the next time you enter the dining room you will be put at some other table, presided over by a "square man." Sometimes the only way a waiter can get prompt service in the kitchen for a favored guest is to "see" the server. Thus, when you leave a quarter under the edge of your plate it does not always go into the pocket of the man who attended you, as you might suppose, but is distributed among a number of employees with whom you do not come in contact. If you fail to leave any change under your plate and remain at that hotel for any length of time you will be likely to receive scant consideration, for the servants will be busy looking after those people who are not absentminded when they finish their meal. One hotel proprietor tells this experience he, had with a new waiter who came to his place. The new man came on at the breakfast hour, and in the course of time was set to wait upon the manager without knowing who he was. Instead of serving a small cup of cream for the coffee he brought milk with it. The manager said to him: "Here, take this milk back and bring me some cream." "We have no cream," sald the new-comer. The surprised manager looked up at him quickly and said: "Like thunder you haven't. I am the manager of this place, and I just Greenhorns as Inventors. In 1827 a carpenter of Sandwich, Mass., wanting a piece of glass of a peculiar size and shape, conceived the idea that the molten metal could be pressed into any form, much the same as lead might be. Up to that time all glassware had been blown, either onhand or in a mold, and considerable skill was required and the process was slow. The glass manufacturers laughed at the carpenter, but he went ahead and built a press, and now the United States is the greatest pressed glassware country in the world. In 1890 a novice in the plate glass industry, Henry Fleckner, of Pittsburg, whose only knowledge of glass had been acquired in a window glass factory, invented an annealing "lehr," the most important single improvement ever introduced in plate glass manufacture. In three hours by the lehr the same work is done which under the old kiln system required three days. In four years the importations of foreign crown and plate glass into the United States fell in value from $2,000,000 to $200,000. About the same year Philip Argobest, of Pittsburg, also a novice in glassmaking, invented a process by which bottles and jars may be made entirely by machinery, the costly blow-over process being avoided and the expense of bottleneaking reduced checked in a hundred gallons of cream not more than twenty minutes ago." With genuine embarrassment the new recruit replied: "Oh, I didn't know you were the manager; I'll bring it at once, sir." The motive was to please certain regular customers of the dining room, who made a practice of tipping, by keeping a liberal quantity of cream in reserve for them, giving ordinary patrons milk with their coffee. The barbers in the large establishments of the cities are also well organized for securing tips. Most of them work on percentage and have all kinds of extra things they try to sell each customer. The man who does, not give ten cents above the regular tariff is an unwelcome customer in most of the big shops. The up to date barber "educates" his customers to the idea of tipping. He begins a friendly line of talk and tells you confidentially that things are going pretty bad with him. He will likely say: "Do you have any idea wages they pay in this place? They pay so little that if it were not for the tips we, get we could not pay rent and provide for our families. Of course, nearly everybody that comes in here gives us something, so we manage to worry along." By such means the barber-makes his customer understand that something extra is expected. If a good "educator" opens up on you and you fail to take the hint, you had better look for another shop. A dodge which is worked with universal success by many crafty tonsorial artists is the soiled towel trick. In order to induce his customers to buy shampoos he keeps a towel at hand the corner of which is very grimy. When you get in in his chair he passes this over your head, then shows you the dirt, which did not come from your hair at all, but off the heel of his boot. As he flashes the soiled towel he will say: "Lots of dirt in your hair. Better let me wash it out," and in nine cases out of ten the unsuspecting victim will say "go ahead," when he probably doesn't need a shampoo at all. Once when the writer was discussing tips with a foreigner he made the following explanation of why it is done in Europe: "It is merely a little cash concession made to men who have to labor at tasks not quite worthy of human dignity. It is not. If you think of it, quite worthy of human dignity that a man should spend his life in setting down baked meats on a board for other men to eat. This is why we have invented tips, to reconcile men to perform menial offices with an appearance of contentment." Any self-respecting man who works for his living ought to resent such an attitude as this. Honest labor of any kind, even of a personal character, can be dignified if it is done in a dignified way. The functions of the waiter and the barber are necessary parts of our living. We are all more or less dependent on one another, and the most mental service is respectable if done in a respectable manner. Here is a chance for organized labor to assert itself. Receiving chance gratitudes in the place of salaries is neither dignified nor profitable, but it is demoralizing. The particular classes of labor that receive tips should stand together and refuse to take them. They should demand wages in keeping with the service they render. That taking chance tips instead of receiving an adequate salary is not profitable is shown by the condition of affairs abroad. In those countries where the tipping, system has been in vogue the longest labor is the most debased. In Berlin one is even expected to tip the street car conductor. In Vienna one must fee the janitor who lets him in or out of his own house at night. Practice has made this so universal that it is almost-as binding as if it were law.—New York Sun. one-halt.

At his home in South Carolina Senator Tillman is famous as a gardener. He produces, among other things, the best asparagus and the finest roses to be found anywhere in the State. Like other South Carolina farmers, Tillman raises corn and cotton. These are staple products of that region. Lately Tillman has made a specialty of cultivating asparagus for the early Northern markets, and his income from this source is considerable. The cultivation of roses amounts to a passion with the pitchfork advocate. In his home garden he has no less than 250 varieties of them. -The Pilgrim. - Plenty of Grub.

The Vagrancy Law as Enforced is Unjust. The police on Tuesday night last made a raid on alleged vagrants, several bar rooms and other places were raided and those found within were arrested. At the bar rooms the police corralled everybody therein, regardless of occupation. At a hall on Margaret street, all of the attendants at an entertainment, men and women, were placed under arrest as vagrants, despite the fact that there was no disorderly demonstration, and that the managers of the entertainment had secured a regular permit. In all, more than one hundred and fifty persons have been arrested for vagrancy during the week. Many of them were able to prove that they were innocent, others despite of showing made were detained, while there were some who should have been dealt with. The worst feature of the entire affair was the sending of many of the accused as strike breakers to Brunswick. This should meet the disapproval of every working men, especially the labor unions. THE TRIBUNE and the law abiding colored citizens are in favor of getting rid of the vicious and loafing class, but we are thoroughly against the manner in which the law is being enforced. By going, indiscriminately in places of business and arresting every one there as a vagrant, is a too flagrant violation of personal rights and liberties, and harmful to any one's business. And further no place of amusement should be raided for vagrants where there is no disturbance and a permit for the same has been granted by the legal authorities. Then too, in raiding for vagrants it should not be restricted to a certain class or locality. There are many saloons frequented by whites, and there are many places on Oglethorpe Avenue, east, where rich hauls could be made. We are in favor of a strict enforcement of the vagrant law, regardless of color, but in its enforcement no other laws should be infringed upon. THE Bishops' Council did a good and wise thing in appointing Prof. R. K. Wright, Jr., as General Statistician and Financial Supervisor of the Church. For this work Prof. Wright is especially qualified, having been assistant to the late Bishop Arnett in his work as connectional historian and having been engaged in this line of service for the past few years in the University of Pennsylvania. Nothing is more essential to the credit of the church than reliable data bearing upon the character and scope of its work in general and in detail, and its source of comfort to know that one so thoroughly competent as Prof. Wright will henceforth be committed to this especial field of service. We are are quite sure that his work will be as satisfactory as his work at Payne Theological Seminary prior to his career as a student in Germany, where his studies gave him special fitness for sociological and statistical work—Christian Record.

[The amount raised is greater than any raised at any time by a church in this state. At each service during the day the church was crowded from pulpit to the doors and even standing room was at a premium, especially was this so at the evening service when hundreds were turned away for lack of accommodation. Rev. J A Lindsay D. D., the beloved pastor, was at his best and marshaled his people like a true general. His practical organization worked like a charm and everybody entered into the rally with that zeal and cheerful manner that caused the reaping of the enormous result. St Phillip Church has more faithful workers than any church in the State and this was manifested last Sunday During the day the services and sermons preached, were in keeping with the occasion, and when the time arrived for the reports from the various clubs and the general collection, everybody was in an expectant attitude because each leader was anxious to make the largest returns. High tension was reached at night when the reports were consolidated and the announcements were made as to what club led. Following are the clubs, general managers and the amount each one reported : No. 1 L. M. Fisher, manager $244 50 2 R. Barnes, manager - - 224 18 3 S. J. Howard, manager 268 27 4 A. W. White, manager 226 55 5 R. W. Cole, manager - - 267 62 6 B. S. Reed, manager - - 165 67 7 H.G. Nixon, manager - - 248 00 8 A. G. Holbrook, manager 189 00 9 J. B. Monroe, manager - - 304 73 10 W. D. Armstrong, manager 140 00 From the above it can be readily seen that Mr. J. B. Monroe, of Club No. 9, raised the largest amount and he was heartily commended by everybody for his excellent work. Mr. S. J. Howard leader of Club No. 3, was second. In fact all of the leaders were commended for their good work, with the able assistance of the loyal members and friends of the church. The special donations from the business men, lodges, societies, clubs and table, during the day, made up the balance that swelled the grand rally to $2,500.72. There are others to report, so when the rally closes Sunday night, the grand total no doubt will be $3,000.00. Mr. L. E. Williams, president of The Wage Earners Loan and Investment Company attended the services at night, and the pastor and officers decided to turn the amount over to him for deposit in the company's savings department. This announcement met the hearty approval of the congregation, and after the services concluded the pastor and officers accompanied him to the office where the amount was safely denoited. The working spirit and harmony which exist among the members and friends of St Philip are better than have ever been heard or seen. The new church will be modern with auditorium, basement; --- gallery, incline floor, ladies and gentlemen parlors, study and other important up to date features. The architect is now busy on plans, etc. Watch THE TRIUNE for out of the new edifice which will appear as soon as the plans are accepted. The following is a card of thanks from the indomitable worker, able leader and beloved pastor, Rev. Lindsay: As you stood by us so nobly and faithfully in our rally last Sunday, I take this method to thank the members, lodges, societies and friends both colored and white for your liberal support and donations. The rally was a brilliant success. The total amount up to date is more than $2500.00. From present indications it will foot up nearly $3000.00 by Sunday night when we close out our rally. We will call in all our "brick books" Sunday night and take a little "rest on our ears." Again thanking you one and all for your hearty support to help us build St. Philip New Brick church. I am yours faithfully. The Mother and the Growing Boy. "A boy's life goes forward by leaps and bounds after he passes the nursery stage" writes Margaret Sangster in WOMAN'S HOME COMPANION for March. "At least it seems to his mother. There is the day when his father remonstrates about those babyish curls that are so beautiful, and that the mother twins around her fingers with such care and pride. The boy has begun to hate them and he goes joyously to the barber's to have them cut off. As the shears separate each soft ring list, the mother feels as if something precious was severed from her very heart. She gathers them up and lays them away, and as her little lad walks besides her with steadier step than before she realizes that the coming dawn of his manhood is quickening on the horizon. There is the day when she sees her boy, a gallant little figure, with his hands in his pockets, looking an inch taller than yesterday, because he is dressed less like a little girl and more like the boy across the street whom he has secretly envied. Those pockets mark an era in boyish development. Are they not distinctively a badge of sex? Surely considering that a man has fourteen pockets and a woman none at all, the day when the boy first realizes that he has pockets, and that they are to hold whatever he pleases, is a great day for him. The boy has his own happy day, too, when he first puts on a real pair of stout shoes, shoes in which he may run and jump and kick a ball." Reply to Criticism I want to say to the public that on February 19, was the Bellmen's Ball which was a howling success. 'The Bellmen always lay out quite a some of money so that our people can have the best of every thing. On last Saturday there was an article in The Advocate by one Thomas accusing our club of a whole lot, which was wrong in him, he was not even there. A few of our white friends from the hotel, were there and they acted very nicely. They arrived at a very late hour as we were about to close; they were no strangers, they were well known by both male and female employees of the hotel. They started to dance with some of them, being very busy at the table as there is always a rush towards the closing of a hall, I did not know at first what was going on; it was only a very few minutes before I found it out and immediately stopped the orchestra in the, midst of a two step. I want to say that we had some of Savannah's best people there on that night and we never allow anything wrong to go on at any time. We always maintain good order and lookout for the welfare of our people and the way Thomas styled us and others is not at all becoming to us. The men acted very nicely indeed and gave no trouble whatever. White people attend the Bellmen's Ball all over the country because the Bellmen are well liked and we certainly would not do anything to hurt our people. I will say that Mr. Thomas has taken a great responsibility upon himself. C. A. TURNER. Petition for Incorporation state of Georgia, Gainey of Ojatham. To the Superintendent of Ojatham.

But believing that God is behind it all and that what we do to day will bear on what we will be on to-morrow, we should make our daily life what we can." The speaker pointed out the bearing of heredity and environment upon the life of each one, but stated that the predominating force is an indomitable will and this coupled with the power of God can work wonders. After noting the achievements of people like Arthur Carruthers, Demosthenes and Hefen Keller though greatly handicapped, he urged upon those present to make the most of themselves.

How often do you hear these significant expressions from women friends. More than likely you speak the same words yourself, and there is a cause. More than thirty years ago Lydia E. Pinkham of Lynn, Mass. discovered the source of nearly all the suffering endured by her sex. "Woman's Ills," these two words are full of more misery to women than any other two words that can be found in the English language. Sudden fainting, depression of spirits, reluctance to go anywhere, backaches, headaches, nervousness, sleeplessness, bearing-down sensations, displacements and irregularities are the bane of woman's existence. The same woman who discovered the cause of all this misery also discovered a remedy. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound made from native roots and herbs holds the record for a greater number of absolute cure of female illies than any other one remedy the world has ever known and it is the greatest blessing which ever came into 'the lives of suffering women. Don't try to endure, but cure the cause of all your suffering. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once removes such troubles.

Ford of 1938 Lansdowne St., Baltimore, Md. writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "For four years my life was a misery to me. I suffered from irregularities, suppression, terrible dragging sensations and extreme nervousness. I had given up all my work well again when Lyda E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was recommended. It cured my weakness and made me well and strong." Miss Grace E. Miller, of 1213 Michigan St., Buffalo, N. Y. writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "I was in a very bad condition of health generally; frritable, cross, backache and suffered from a feminine weakness. Lyda E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, cured me after all other medicines had failed." What Lyda E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound did for Mrs. Ford and Miss Miller it will do for other women in like condition. Every suffering woman in the United States is asked to accept the following invitation. It is free, will bring you health and may save your life. Mrs. Plakham's Invitation to Women. Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to promptly communicate with Mrs. Pikham, at Lyon, Mass.

Out of her vast volume of experience in treating female ills Mrs. Pikham probably has the very knowledge that will help your case. Her advice is free and always helpful. Pure White Lead is the Natural Paint Pigment Numerous compounds are being offered to take the place of white lead as a paint, but no real substitute for it has yet been found. Pure White Lead has a peculiar property of amalgamating with the wood upon which it is used—added to this it has an elasticity which permits the paint to follow the natural expansion and contraction of the wood.

When I was leaving Hartford for Washington (writes Mark Twain in his autobiography now running in the North American Review) upon one occasion my wife said: "I have written a small warning and put it in a pocket of your dress vest. When you are dressing to go to the authors' reception at the White House you will naturally put your fingers in your vest pocket, according to your custom, and you will find that little note there: Read it carefully, and do as it tells you. I cannot be with you, and so I delegate my sentry duties to this little note. If I should give you the warning by word of mouth now it would pass from your head and be forgotten in a few minutes." It was President Cleveland's first term. I had never seen his wife—the young, the beautiful, the good-hearted, and sympathetic, the fascinating. Sure enough, just as I had finished dressing to go to the White House found the litte note, which I had long ago forgotten. It was a grave little note, a serious little note, like its writer, but it made me laugh. Livy's gentle gravities often produced that effect upon me, where the expert humorist's best joke would have failed, for I do not laugh easily. When we reached the White House and I was shaking hands with the President, he started to say something but I interrupted him and said: "If your Excellency will excuse me, I will come back in a moment; but now I have a very important matter to attend to, and it must be attended to at once." I turned to Mrs. Cleveland, the young, the beautiful, the fascinating, and gave her my card, on the back of which I had written, "He didn't"—and I asked her to sign her name below, those words. She said: "He didn't? He didn't what?" "Oh," I said, "never mind. We cannot stop to discuss that now." This is urgent. Won't you please sign your name?" (I handed her a fountainpen.) "Why," she said, "I cannot commit myself in that way. Who is it that didn't?—and what is it that he didn't?" "Oh," I said, "time is flying, flying, flying. Won't you take me out of my distress and sign your name to it? It's, all right. I give you my word it's all right." She looked nonplussed; but, hesitatingly and mechanically, she took the pen and said: "I will sign it. I will take the risn. But you must tell me all about it right afterward, so that you can be arrested before you get out of the house in case there should be anything criminal about this." Then she signed, and I handed her Mrs. Clemens' note, which was very brief, very simple and to the point. It said: "Don't wear your articles in the White House." It made her shout, and at my request she commoned a messenger and we sent that card at once to the mail on its way to Mrs. Clemens in Hartford. Remedies for Vegetable Poison. Animals and children frequently eat the stems and bulbs of poisonous plants, with fatal results. To know just what to do to relieve vegetable poisoning is highly important. For animals not much can be done. A draft of warm melted lard poured down the throat of the animal from a long-necked bottle will generally relieve the pain, and in most cases, when used soon after the effect of the poison becomes visible, will save the animal's life. In case of children, a prompt emetic should be the first thing. Sulphate of zinc, from 20 to 30 grains, in a cupful of warm water, is effective, as is a teaspoonful of mustard in a cup of warm water. After the emetic has acted, give some sweet oil, cream or fresh milk. If the pain is severe, from 5 to 10 drops of laudanum may be added to the oil, cream or milk. If the patient becomes drowsy, give strong coffee or whiskey in small, repeated doses and keep patient walking. Children should be taught to avoid eating strange plants and stock should not be turned out too early, when hunger forces them to eat plants they instinctively avoid at other times.—Gerald McCarty, North Carolina Agricultural Department. In Cases of Emergency. In going down a fire escape never precede a lady. In case of fire leap from the nearest window and turn to the left. In drowning do not speak. Talking to one's self is always bad form; but in this emergency it would also be extremely silly. In falling from the back of a runaway horse, always aim to let the left shoulder hit the ground first, as it is far better to break one's arm than to fracture one's skull. If a heavy-plate glass window falls upon you some cold winter-morning do not scream, as you might, in opening your mouth, catch tonsilids—to say nothing of several large pieces of glass. If you happen to be in a theatre when the cry of "Fire" is raised, sit perfectly still. Of course no one ever does this, but it is just as well to bear the rule in mind. Authorities differ as to whether it is better to be trampled to death or burned alive. During his political missions in Bhutan and Thibet, Mr. Claude White, the British political agent, at Sikkim, was presented with a talin, an animal half ox, and half antelope. U₂=S.₂ DISPENSATORY U₂=S.₂ DISPENSATORY Describes the Principal Ingredients Contained in Pe-ru-na. Are we claiming, too much for Peruuna when we claim it to be an effective remedy for chronic catarrh? Have we abundant proof that Peruuna is in reality such a catarrh remedy? Let us see what the United States Dispensatory says of the principal ingredients of Peruuna. Take, for instance, the ingredient hydrasis canadensis, or golden seal. The United States Dispensatory says of this herbal remedy, that it is largely employed in the treatment of depraved mucous membranes, chronic rhinitis (nasal catarrh), atonic dyspepsia (catarrh of the stomach), chronic intestinal catarrh, catarrhinal jaundice (catarrh of the liver), and in diseased mucous membranes of the pelvic organs. It is also recommended for the treatment of various forms of diseases peculiar to women. Another ingredient of Peruna, cordallis formosana, is classed in the United States Dispensatory as a tonic. So also is cubes classed as a stomachic and as a tonic for the mucous membranes. Cedron seeds is another ingredient of Peruna, an excellent drug that has been very largely overlooked by the medical profession for the past fifty years. The seeds are to be found in very few drug stores. The United States Dispensatory says of the action of cedron that it is used, as a, bitter tonic and in the treatment of dysentery, and in intermittent diseases as a substitute for quinine. Oil of copaliba, another ingredient of Peruna, is classed by the United States Dispensafary as a mild stimulant and diuretic. It acts on the stomach and intestinal tract. It acts as a stimulant on the genito-nirinary membranes. Useful in chronic cystitis, chronic dysfeffery and diarrhea, and some chronic diseases of the liver and kidneys. Send to us for a free book of testimonials of what the people think of Peruna as a catarrh remedy. The best evidence is the testimony of those who have tried it. Ox Yoke Made by Lincoln. A recent rearrangement of the exhibits in the Agricultural Museum of the University of Illinois brought to light, an old ox yoke made by Abraham Lincoln, which was presented to the institution in 1871. By order of President Draper the yoke has been enclosed in a glass case the framework of which was made of boards from the old Lincoln home at Springfield, Ill. What a Doctor is Good For. Life is such a constant rush to a well-known physician that to secure a little recreation he has recourse to ruses. A visitor called one night and began a speech to the servant. "I want the doctor to come as quickly as he can." "He can't do it:" the servant answered. "He left orders that he was so busy that, unless it was absolutely a matter of life and death, he couldn't go out at all this evening." "But," said the caller. "It isn't illness at all." 'What then?' "We want him to come over and take a hand in a game of whist." "Oh, that's different." The servant disappeared, and reappeared a moment later. "The doctor says he'll be over in ten minutes, sr," he announced.—Tit-Bits. UNSOLVED. The Sphinx had propounded her riddle.

"For the last 20 years," writes a Malne man, "I've been troubled with Dyspepsia and liver complaint; and have tried about every known remedy without much in the way of results until I took up the food question. "A friend -recommended Grape-Nuts food, after I had taken all sorts of medicines with only occasional, temporary relief. "This was about nine months ago, and I began the Grape-Nuts for breakfast with cream and a little sugar. Since then I have had the food for at least one meal a day, usually for breakfast." "Words fall to express the benefit I received from the use of Grapef-Nuts. My stomach is almost entirely free from pain and my liver complaint is about cured, I have gained flesh, sleep well, can eat nearly any kind or food except greasy, starchy things, and am strong, and healthy at the age of 70 years. "If I can be the means of helping any poor mortal who has been troubled with dyspepsia as I have been, I am willing to answer any letter enclosing stamp." Name given by, Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read the little book, "The Road to Wellville," in pikgs. "There's a Reason." Hiding sin does not heal it. Things are without what they are within. Losing the temper takes the edge off the ability. A man never believes in honesty until he has some of it. No favoring wind comes to him who will not pull on his cars. The more of a truth a man knows the larger liberty he finds in it. Religion may have many forms, but they all have one face of love. It's no use fussing about keeping the faith if you can not keep your friends. The world does not want to hear of a golden heaven; it waits for the golden heart. He who has many thoughts to ride never has any that men are glad to circulate. The only man whom poverty can crush is he who lacks the riches of character. You can tell a good deal about a man by the things that appeal to his sense of humor. All the failures are sure they would be successful if only they could start at the top. Piety often seems like pretense to those who have not felt the impulse of principle. The religion that can not mix with business has no business to meddle with anything. When your character is gold you will not need any coinage stamp to make it current. Many a man thinks that the important thing is the size of the alm instead of its height.

Kohinoor Probably Came From Them About 350 Years Ago. In a recent report of the geological survey of India there is an interesting account of the Panna diamond fields of central India. Historically this country is believed to be the original home of the diamond, and from them it is supposed that the famous Kohinoor was extracted some three and a half centuries ago, the earliest diamonds dating some 25 years previously. Of late years India has quite retired from the field as a precious stone producer to any extent or value, but from the account given it should be worth the while of a small syndicate Pioneer, and work them systematically to take up these diamonds, says the lay, though it is said that neither in lustre nor price do the stones found compare with the yield of the South African fields. The methods, however, now in vogue mean merely superficial treatment, following the lines which have been in vogue for centuries, with the probable result that the strata containing the most valuable deposits of stones are not reached. From a geological point of view there are said to be diamond bearing conglomerates over several areas, which would admit of deep shaft sinking, and systematic mining under competent control being carried on profitably. Foreign and Native Born Paupers. Statistics gathered by the bureau on the census show that the total number of inmates of almshouses in the United States at the close of 1904 was 31,764, as against 73,045 in June, 1890. The 1904 ratio, 101.04 per 100,000 of population, compared with that of 1890, 116.6 per 100,000 marks the increase of prosperity. The percentage of native white paupers has decreased in the North Atlantic States and remained nearly stationary in the South Atlantic division, but has increased in the remaining divisions. Foreign born white paupers are now in the majority in the North Atlantic and Western divisions, Minnesota having 77.3 percent in her almshouse population, and Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York and New Jersey having more foreign born than native born paupers in public institutions. These statistics do not lend support to the contention that large numbers of immigrants become public charges soon after their arrival in this country, 96.1 percent of those found in almshouses having lived here for ten years or more—Leslie's Weekly. Russia Moves Slowly. Observers of the West were somewhat surprised that the dissolution of the Duma was not immediately followed by a popular uprising or an immediate panic in Russian securities. They forgot that, Russia is an agricultural continent rather than a kingdom, that its capital is fettered in bonds of steel, that its swiftest means of internal communication are in the hands of the Government alone, and that, with its Duma suppressed, its people, the peasantry especially, have no organ through which their united will can be suppressed. From the moment of the convocation of the States-General the people of France were never without a mouth, and until the "bronze artillery officer" shot down the "Sections" they were never without an "army of revolution." The Russian people move heavily, and may take years before its general will is effective, its movement being that of the glacier rather than the avalanche. Still, it is moving—London Spectator.

All results of exact tests confirm the unique value of lean bacon in the dietary. The Minnesota station's work on the digestibility and nutritive value of bacon (Bulletin 92) shows that over 90 percent of the bacon food was digested and absorbed by the body. "Lean bacon contains as much protein and about twice as much digestible fats as other meats, and at the same or even at a higher price per pound, it is a cheaper food than other meats. This is a scientific demonstration of the truth of what has long been recognized in practice, that men can do more hard work on lean bacon, and it will "stand by them" longer than almost any other food." -Good Housekeeping. Choosing a Bedstead. The time has gone by when the bedstead was a simple framework. It has developed from a skeleton of plain wood or iron into a magnificent and expensive piece of furniture, and nowadays people choose their bedsteads with care. The nickel sort has never proved popular on account of its cold appearance. As the bedstead is the largest piece of furniture, it naturally has the most to do in giving the room a furnished appearance. Nickel bedsteads are only fit for a summer home, where everything should look cool and refreshing. Brass Is the best to get in a metal bedstead if one can afford it. It has a rich, warm look. The patterns differ little, but each season finds an improvement in the finish. The best bedsteads are not of solid brass. They have iron supporters running through each separate rod, and this gives the frame stability. Although metal bedsteads are considered more sanitary by many, they can never be made so handsome as some of the wooden ones. Nor can they give such an appearance of comfort. One of the handsomest bedsteads is of mahogany. It lends an air of solid comfort to a bedroom. Twin bedsteads of metal or wood are the proper things now. It is healthier to sleep alone. Recipes. Molasses Cookies—One cup each molasses, sugar and sour milk, three quarters of a cup of shortening (use butter and lard), one egg, two heaping teaspoonfuls ginger, two heaping teaspoonfuls soda, flour to make stiff; roll thin. Almond Rings—Blanch one pound of almonds and cut fine lengthwise. Beat the whites of seven eggs and stir in one pound of sugar. Add a little vanilla and stir about half an hour. Put some sugar on your bakeboard and form this dough into rings. Bake a light brown. Salmon on Toast—Use cold boiled salmon picked apart in small flakes. Heat one cup of white sauce or drawn butter, add to it one-half cup of cream, the flaked fish, one teaspoonful chopped parsley, a few grains of mace, with pepper and salt to taste. Pour over slices of buttered toast and serve at once. Corn Muffins—Two eggs, two tablespoonfuls of sugar, one tablespoonful of melted butter, one cup of milk, three cups of flour, two large tablespoonfuls of bolted cornmeal, two tablespoonfuls of cream tartar, one teaspoonful of soda and a little salt. Bake in muffin pans 20 to 30 minutes. Very good. Makes about 14. Pilgrim Brown Bread—Two cups of graham flour, one cup of sour milk, one teaspoonful of soda, one-half cup raisins stoned, one cup chopped nuts, one-half cup New Orleans molasses, one teaspoonful salt. Figs may be used. Steam one and one-half hours, then bake ten minutes. You need not bake it or put in nuts, raisins or figs. It is good enough without. Honey or Maple Drops—Blend one-third cup strained honey, or rich maple syrup, one teaspoonful butter, one egg, well beaten, two-thirds cup of flour, slifted with half a teaspoonful of baking powder and a pinch of salt. Drop by teaspoonfuls on a tin and bake in a quick oven. These proportions will make about 20 cakes. Icing may be of maple or fondant. Of Interest To Women. To such women as are not seriously out of health but who have exacting duties to perform either in the way of, household care or in social duties and functions, which seriously tax their strength, as well as to nursing mothers, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has proved a most valuable supporting tonic and invigorating nervine. By its timely use, much serious sickness and suffering may be avoided. The operating table and the surgeons' knife, would, it is believed, seldom have to be employed if this most valuable woman's remedy were resorted to in good time. The "Favorite Prescription" has proven a great boon to expectant mothers by preparing the system for the coming of baby, thereby rendering childbirth so easy and almost painless. Bear in mind, please that, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is not a secret or patent medicine, against which the most intelligent people are quite naturally averse, because of the uncertainty as to their composition and harmless character, but is a MEDICINE OR KNOWN COMPOSITION, a full list of all its ingredients being printed, in plain English, on every bottle-wrapper. An examination of this list of ingredients will disclose the fact that it is moraleholic in its composition, chemically pure, triple-refined glycerine taking the place of the commonly used alcohol, in its make-up. In this connection it may not be out of place to state that the "Favorite Prescription" of Dr. Pierce is the only medicine put up for the cure of woman's peculiar weaknesses and ailments, and sold through druggists, all the ingredients of which have the animous endorsement of so doing medical articles, such as shares of all the remedies of practice, and that too a remedies for the ailments for which "Favorite Prescription" is recommended. A little book of these endorsements will be sent to any address, post-paid, and absolutely free if you request same by postal card, or letter, of Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.

They stimulate the blood so as to enable nature to throw off all morbid tumors and cure all troubles arising from an impure state of the blood. One or two taken every night will prove invaluable. Each pill contains one grain of solid extract of sarsaparilla, which, with other valuable vegetable products, make it a blood purifier of excellent character. Brandreth's Pills have been in use for over a century and are sold in every drug and medicine store, plain or sugar-coated. The more a man wants to borrow the harrier he shakes your hand.

TERRIBLE ITCHING Eczema Affected Whole System—Unable to Rest Night or Day—Suffered 4 Years—Cuticura Cures. "I suffered severely for four years from poison oak and ivy. My condition was serious, as I could not rest night or day and be free from a terrible itching sensation from scratching on my hands between the fingers, my feet and face. I got the best of advice and treatment from six different doctors who were anxious to cure me. One of the doctors told me that when the poison was cured, eczema (a worse disease) would follow, which became true. My eyesight was affected, and I went to a hospital especially for the eyes and got relief, but eczema got a terrible hold on my system. I was about to give up all hope of ever being cured, yet I could not be reconciled to such results, as my health had been good and free from any disease all my life. My age is seventy-three years. In my extremity I happened to read of Cuticura Remedies for skin diseases. I was anxious about my condition and desired to evade any spurious imitation. This was in July, 1905, and I called on a certain druggist for the Cuticura Remedies. I bought five boxes Cuticura Ointment, also some Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Pills as I required them. In four weeks' treatment my face was smooth, and the itching gradually left my hands and feet and I could rest comfortably, for which I am grateful and happy. W.

One afternoon a lady friend came to see me and told mamma to get me a bottle of WINE OF CARDUI Woman's Relief so she got it, though she had little hopes of its helping. But, praise God I had taken just three bottles, when I was relieved and began to get well right off. I kept right on taking Cardul and now I am well and strong. I feel that I love my life to Cardul and will never be through praising it." Thousands of ladies have written, like Mrs. Robinson, to tell of the wonderful relief it gave, in the various forms of female disease. For such trouble as headache, backache falling feelings, nervousness, irregularity, misplacement, etc, you will find Cardul of true and lasting benefit. Try it.

An ingenious beacon is located at Arnish Rock, Stormoway Bay, in the Hebrides, Scotland. It is a cone of cast iron plates, surmounted by an arrangement of prisms and a mirror which reflects the light from the lighthouse on Lewis Island, 500 feet distant across the channel. Recent tests have shown that the degree of wetness or dryness has very much influence upon the strength of a grindstone. Dry stones, says The American Machinist, showed a tensile strength of from 146 to 186 pounds per square inch; after soaking all night they broke under stresses of from 30 to 116 pounds per square inch. It has now been settled without question that the best trolley wheels are those which contain no lead. The constant arcing of the wheel and wire burns out the lead and causes the wheel to wear out rapidly. It is very difficult to obtain scrap metals on the market which do not contain lead. For this reason trolley wheels must be manufactured from new metals. An ingenious and yet simple method of writing with electricity is suggested by a Californian, who has a metal plate on which is laid a sheet of paper (white), which has been previously soaked in a solution of potassium iodide and water for about a minute. The sheet of metal is then connected with the zinc or negative wire of a battery, and the positive wire held in the right hand and used in the place of a pen. By tracing or writing over the paper with this wire, brown lines or characters will appear. HEART ACTION ON SHIPBOARD. Surgeons Find That Vibration Bothers Their Diagnosis. "All hearts sound alike on these modern ships," said the surgeon of a trans-Atlantic liner. "Although the hull of the average modern steamer is bigger and supposedly less subject to the violence of the sea, the machinery to drive the enlarged hulls has been increased in size. With the increase in the size of the engines there has followed greater vibration. "It is this vibration which makes it impossible for us to read truly the action of the average human heart. I have tried repeatedly by all manner of means to overcome the influence of the vibration on the heart, but I find that by even swinging a patient in a hammock, where the shaking up is not greatly felt, the result of the heart reading is far from satisfactory. "The first day at sea in this ship on her malden voyage I had occasion to treat an Englishman who was en route to Canada on business. I was startled to hear his heart. Yet he had the finest kind of cardiac action, as I ascertained once the ship's machinery stopped. I have since found it to be an invariable rule that the engine's vibration makes it appear as though the heart of the average man was going to stop before I could get the stethoscope away from his breast. "Vibration does not hurt the heart any. Do not make the mistake of supposing that it does. It just sounds as though the end was positive, and while the patient's heart is healing in regular form the shaking of the ship deceives even the practised ear." —New York Sun. Ticking of the Clock. "Not all people," said the jeweller, "like the ticking of a clock; it is a pleasant sound to most people, but not to all. "Some people, clock lovers these, couldn't sleep without a clock in the same room. Its ticking is company and it scares away the spooks. Such people would wake up if the clock should stop in the middle of the night. "But there are other people who can't sleep with a clock in the same room, and who, if they found themselves in a strange place anywhere with a clock in their sleeping apartment, would stop the clock-before they went to bed. "Of course there is much of habit in this, but we have our fancies about clocks as we do about all things else."—New York Sun. Water and Ice. Did you ever think how good for us it is that ice is lighter than water, so that it floats on the surface? Everything that we know of expands with heat and contracts with cold except water. Boiling water, if allowed to cool, will become smaller in bulk only until it reaches a certain point—39 degrees F—and then it begins to expand again until it turns into ice. And as ice is lighter than water it floats on the surface. Can you imagine what would be the result if water got small by freezing instead of larger? Simply this, that all the lakes and ponds would be so filled with ice that they would not thaw out in even the hottest summer, for they would begin to freeze at the bottom and the ice would continue to form all the way up to the top.

Indications are that this year the legislature's appropriation of $890,000 for the pension fund will lack $20,000 of being enough.

He was carried into the hotel at Nelson and lingered for some time before death came. ```markdown ``` A movement has been started in Savannah to have the Baltimore and Philadelphia steamers, or some of them, stop at Norfolk, Va., during the progress of the Jamestown Exposition. Mayor Tiedeman has taken the matter up with the Board of Trade and Chamber of Commerce. It is believed that the arrangement would be mutually beneficial to the steamship company and the exposition management and Savannah. --- To Await Higher Decision. No more cases against the alleged violators of the Boykin law will be heard by Judge Roan in Atlanta until the court of appeals hands down a declaration on the C. N. Anderson verdict, which will be carried to the high court by his attorneys. In the meantime the hearings of the other nine indicted men will be continued under the condition that these suspend operations until the court of appeals takes action on the test case. --- Train service between Brunswick and LaGrange will be inaugurated over the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railroad on March 3, the schedules from Brunswick to Oglethorpe remaining as before, the new service being continued west of Oglethorpe. According to the new schedules, train No. 1 will leave Waycross, at 8:20 a. m., arriving at LaGrange at 6:06 p. m. Returning train No. 4 will leave LaGrange at 10 o'clock in the morning, arriving at Waycross at 7:15 in the evening. The A.

The members of the Georgia Fruit Growers' Association, and growers of the adjoining states of Alabama, Florida, Tennessee and South Carolina, in session at Atlanta the past week, authorized the committee on transportation to raise a fund to bring about a reduction of freight rates on fruit shipments. The committee is authorized to assess growers an amount ranging from 25 to 50 cents, the fund thus raised to be expended for the litigation necessary in bringing complaints of the growers before the interstate commerce commission, which is authorized under the new rate law to compel the railroads to adopt certain rates. * * * Eleven Mayors on Committee. Governor Terrell has appointed a commission consisting of one mayor from each congressional district in the state to co-operate with himself and Miss Louise DuBose of Athens in arranging for the securing and presentation of a silver service to the battleship Georgia at Jamestown on June 20, which is Georgia day at the exposition. It is understood that Governor Terrell desires to have certain cities in the state to manage the presentation of different parts of the silver service. In order to do this he expects each one of the municipalities to take a part in the event. Childd's protection and morality and County School Commissioners. Two new county school commissioners have recently been elected; Hon. W. G. Avers; Berrien county, who succeeds Hon. J. H. Gary, and Hon. L. M. Chastain, Rabun county, who succeeds Professor A. J. Ritchle. The association of county school commissioners of Georgia will meet in Milledgeville on the last week in April, and at that time important matters concerning the common schools of the state will be discussed, and some needed legislation suggested to the members of the next general assembly. The week follo lowing, the Georgia Teachers Association will convene in annual session in Macon, thus giving an opportunity of attending that meeting without extra expense. Habersham Gets School. At a meeting of the board of trustees of the Agricultural and Mechanical school for the ninth congressional district, to select a site for the school in that district, the bid of Habersham county was adoeped amid great enthusiasm on the part of the contingent from that county. The successful bid calls for a cash donation of $25,000, 300 acres of land, free water and free telephone service. The land is located a few miles north of Clarkesville and is said to be one of the best sites in the state. There were bids received from three counties—Habersham, Hall and Jackson. Hall county submitted three bids: first, 500 acres of land at Klondike and $30,000; second, 500 acres of land at Oakland and $31,000; third, 250 acres of land at Lula and $30,500. Jackson county offered $20,000 and 450 acres of land at Nicholson, or $20,000 and 300 acres at Commerce. To Develop Anthony Shoals. Prospects for the speedy development of Anthony Shoals on Broad River grow brighter daily. The return of Messrs. T. M. and J. H. Fitzpatrick, purchasers of the property, from a successful stay in New York, the paying off of options given by the land owners in the neighborhood of the shoals, and the presence in Washington of the owners, their attorney and engineer, are strong indications of the fact that the preliminaries are past and actual preparations are under way which will ultimately result in the expenditure of between $5,000,000 and $6,000,000. Since the visit of Messrs Fitzpatrick to New York recently the ownership of this property on Broad river has passed out of their hands into the control of a large northern electrical concern, with a capital of several millions of dollars, which makes a business of developing big water powers like that at Anthony Shoals on Broad river, and Ringjaw shoals on the Savannah. --- Two Pleased Officials. Chairman J. A. Betjeman of the executive committee of the Georgia Immigration Association, is delighted with the convention held in Macon the past week and its results. Chairman Betjeman, who has in charge the details of the immigration campaign just inaugurated, says that it was not the idea of the association prior to the Macon convention to proceed with undue haste, but to lay the foundations of the work broad and deep. He says that the work is now on a thorough business-like basis and will be prosecuted in a practical, systematic kind of way. "I expect great results from the Macon convention on immigration," said Commissioner Agriculture Hudson, in speaking of the meeting. "In the convention were manufacturers, merchants, business men, professional men and farmers. Every part of the state was represented, showing that interest in this vital subject is confined to no particular section, but permeates every part of Georgia. "The one great thing necessary now is money to work with in bringing in desirable immigrants. The convention put this matter in the hands of competent men, and the campaign will begin in earnest. The whole state is aroused to the question and results are sure to be obtained." BIG DEALS IN PINE LANDS. Industry in Georgia and Alabama Reaches Large Proportions." The magnitude and great value of the pine timber interests in Georgia and Alabama are illustrated by large transactions reported the past week in the Industrial Index of Columbus, Georgia. In a section adjacent to Waycross, Ga., 200,000,000 feet of timber has been purchased by Georgia and Florida capitalists, who will establish one of the largest saw mills in the country and build a railroad through the tract. Alabama and Chicago capitalists have consummated a deal for 100,000,000 feet of pine timber, which is located about 150 miles north of Mobile. This will be developed. A $1,000,000 lumber company at Thomasville, Ga., has purchased a railroad 17 miles' length, and will extend it 15, possibly 45 miles.

MOST · PECULIAR WRECK Famous Fast Flyer is Ditched and Sixty-Seven People Injured, But Not One Fatally. In one of the most remarkable and miraculous wrecks that has ever occurred on the Pennsylvania railroad, fifty-five passengers and a crew of eleven trainmen were more or less injured Friday night when the Pennsylvania Special, 'the eighteen-hour train between New York and Chicago, was wrecked while rounding' a sharp curve near South Fork, six miles from Johnstown, Pa. :If the injured passengers, seven sultained, serious hurts, necessitating their removal to hospitals. The train was running about fifty minutes late and was travelling over 50 miles an hour when it reached the curve. The accident was caused by a brake rigging dropping to the track on the first Pullman coach, following the engine and combination smoking car. Much disorder followed the accident, and in the midst of the confusion a number of foreigners were detected plundering the Pullman cars. One was arrested and the others driven away by a display of firearms. Considerable jewelry and valuable wearing apparel was lost as a result, however. The engine and combination smoking car remained on the ralls, but the three Pullmans plunged over a 60foot embankment into the Conenaugh river. Fortunately the cars were not submerged. A scene of wild confusion resulted. All the passengers were2in their berths and were thrown promiscuously around the cars. All the passengers of the train were injured more or less, but with the exception of John P. Kline of Joilet, it is said none of the injuries are dangerous. The train was running 55 minutes late and was trying to make up lost time. Nobody seems to know what really caused the accident, but it is said it was caused by the springing of a bolt connecting one of the tails to the steel tie. The injured were taken to hospitals at Altoona, Greensburg and Johnstown. A majority of them, however, proceeded west on a special train. The attire of some of the passengers who arrived in Johnstown on the special train was comical, as they were wearing somebody else's clothing, unmindful of the rightful owner. Following the wreck great disorder prevailed. Until late Saturday there was no official representative of the Pennsylvania railroad at the scene of the accident, except a man who is said to be P., H. Robinson, a detective. All attempts to obtain information from the railroad officials were met with rebuffs at every hand and at an early hour Saturday morning, while it was reported that fifty-four passengers were on the train when it left Altoona, only forty were said to have been accounted for. From the scene it was learned by telephone that the train was trying to make up lost time. The Pennsylvania Railroad company issued a statement Sunday in explanation of the accident. The statement is the result of an investigation conducted by A. C. Shad, chief engineer; L. R. Zollinger, engineer maintenance of way, and H. M. Carson, assistant to General Manager Atterbury. It is said that the only tangible evidence of the cause of the accident found was the broken brake-hanger, as previously stated by the manager. "MARCH OF THE PITCHFORK" Is.

NDER even the most favorable circumstances it is always quite an easy feat to shoot behind a passing ruffed grouse. Many a one, after presenting a fair "cross-shot" to the sportsman, has left some of his tall-feathers behind him, without having had a single pellet placed in a vital part. I will give one instance of this "close shooting" without bringing this swift-flying bird down—I might give hundreds. I was shooting deer in Kent county, Ontario—still an excellent place for Virginia deer, and moreover, one of the last and best strongholds in Canada of the fast-departing wild turkey. My guide and myself had observed that there were many ruffed grouse, in the thick black ash and poplar "swales" which intersected the heavy hardwood forest peculiar to this district. Especially were the birds plentiful near the clearings, as is always the way with ruffed grouse. So one fine November day we sallied forth, the guide with his rifle, and I with our only shotgun, to give them a benefit. The only thing we had in the shape of a bird-dog was an exuberant collie, who meant well; but was somewhat too demonstrative and riotous for this sort of wbrk. The guide went up the middle of a "swale" with the dog, endeavoring as much as possible to restrain his ardent soul; I kept on the outside of the cover to his right, and the birds in places came out like grasshoppers. Now the reader should remember that I had every advantage possible in shooting ruffed grouse. The birds were "backwoods birds;" I could often see them coming as they rose from the centre of the cover; they passed me from left to right—not the easiest of cross-shots, but easy enough in perfectly open hardwood timbered woods as these were—yet, with all these advantages, on three separate occasions, I blew big tall-feathers out of a bird without putting a pellet into his body or hurting him seriously, so swiftly do these birds fly when fairly going. I was no novice at grouse-shooting then, either. However, I got 22 (how many I missed doesn't matter), and the guide got three (treed birds), when the proceedings were terminated by our "jumping" a big buck at the end of a "swale," and by the swift departure of our colleague-dog after him to parts unknown, whereupon the guide, who had merely tolerated the whole affair, suggested "I had better drop this here foolishness right off and go git my rifle," which I proceeded at once to do. I had, however, an opportunity which one seldom gets of seeing by many examples in open woods how very swiftly a grouse can fly, and how easily it is, even for a practiced shot, to shoot behind him—Harper's Weekly. | IS NEXT TO NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING, THE BEST ADVERTISING IN THE WORLD.
