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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Every farmer wants to know to a cent the value of what he buys and sells, and should not leave this to be figured by the party with whom he is dealing. As labor saving machinery has been invented to save time and physical strength, so there are devices to enable the mind to reach quickly and accurately results usually arrived at with much thought and tedious calculation. Time is worth much, but accuracy is still more important.
Many books have been prepared to make the task of calculating easy, its results sure, but never one fitted to all men, in all kinds of business, at all times, so completely as "ROPP'S NEW COMMERCIAL CALCULATOR." This reliable assistant to the farmer and others has been in the market for many years, and nearly a million and a half copies have been sold. The last edition (160 pages) is from beginning to end filled with tables, short cuts, and up-to-date methods of calculating, making it the most complete, useful and comprehensive work of the kind ever published.

glons, such as Zululand, Mcrocco,

for all fils, evon more welrd thaw
those of te witches in “Macbeth.”
But wao would look for witch and
wizard doctors at this day in civilized
France? It used hardly be sald that
thelr habitat is beautiful old Brittany
—that peradise of artists, where the
‘world has stood still for centuries and
all conditions of life dre in some re-
spects as backward as they were in
the twilight days of King Arthur and
his knights. Even the marriage cere-
monies. with thelr barbaric open afr
feasts and dances and the queer
“pursuit” of the bride, are survivals
of paganism?when marriage by cap-
ture Was in vogue. .
‘The Bretons speak a tongué of
their own, and in many villages of
the Department of Morbihan French
is entirely unknown. Everywhere
one comes across quaint old manners
and customs, for the.people are filled
with superstition and cling to the
manners of their forefathers with
Positive fanaticism.
This 1s nowhere more in evidence
than In the matter of the village doc-
tor or doctress—grave persons la-
conle 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
Uitte Tess drastic than that of the
witch doctors of Northern Slam (the
Laos States), where all aflments aze-

ly tacerated with tigers’ claws that

who has badly sprained his back on a’
Tugger, and knows no peace until the
doctor Is sent for. The treatment in
many eases is given In the open alr,
for a number of reasons. First, the
oars and yells of the victim, much
dimintshed by space, do not so great-
ly distress his relatives; and, more-
‘over, tho scene draws a small crowd
of respectful spectators who are vast-
ly {mpressed by the wonderful skilt
‘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 po-
tions 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 tn
cash and kind would dwindle to tae
vanishing point as murmurs against
his feeble methods slipped from vil-
lage to village.
‘A matter Iike neuralgia, beng dit-
ficult to cure in any showy or dra.
mtic/manner, calis for the “magic
wand,” with much cabalistic mutter-
ing and “laying on of hands,” more
‘or less after the manner of the apos-
tes. Some of these so-called doctors
unquestionably have a rude notfon of,
hone setting, and their treatment of
sprains ang simple fractures, al-
though causing intense pain to the
patient, undoubtedly attains its ob-
Jeet. aa
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 sil-
ver ornaments, but the women also
often pay the witch doctors by means
ofthelr own hair. |
= It should be explainéd 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
ind of hypnotism, especially in the
case of nervous affections, and fre-
quently succeed im persuading a pa-
uent (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, giv-
ing up werk these hard times and
causing anxiety to his friends and
‘relatives! cf

these “occasional” doctorsenjoy thelr
meed of respect and local renown,
and aro frequently called upon to
enre @ sick'baby or growing clilld, or
even to treat an adult person with
strange drugs of thelr own brewing,
of course entirely unknown to the
pharmacopoefa, and serlously applied.
For the physician in most cases be-
Neves as implicitly in the treatment
as the patient himself; the former
has seen these weird remedies ap-
pited all the days of his life, and well
knows they ‘ave come down from

Wealthy Swiss Woman Lived in the

Scientists are greatly interested in
a woman who has reverted to the
habits of the hishest apes, who, in

She Is a widow of a wealthy “‘mor-

‘Again, it was sald that for her cc-
centricities she had been immured In

It is known now that the woman,
who was delicately reared, went
away. She wandered into the thick

A strange sea; phantom, whicti very

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 be-
coming, 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 can is adapt~
ed to the thinner materials and is
pecullarly desirable for lawn “and
ather washable fabrics. When made
from this or from thin silk it can be

Mned thFoughout and consequently be
made as warm and snug as need be.
As illustrated the two-plece cap {s
made of white silk with the revers, In
truo‘Duteh style, daintily embroid-
ered by han while its points are held
by rosettes of ribbon and there Is a
Uttle frill of ribbon finishing the edge
of the cap; the one-piece model is
made of lawn with the revers of em-
broidery 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
Ys shirred to form the crown and
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 lat-
ter plan being by far the better one
when washable material is used, as
the cap can then be la{d 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 elther cape can be cut on
the outlines {llustrated.
‘The quantity of material required
for the medium size (one year) Is,
for either cap one-half yard of mate-
rial twenty-one or three-elghth yard
thirty-six inches wide with one and a
half yards or ruffiing.
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 pepris. They
would be a boon’ to scragey necks,

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 1s just the fur for
wear with a navy blue serge.
Kine-Gored Skirt.
‘The nine-gored skirt that is made
with Invezted pleats 1s 4 most satts-
factory one from every polnt of view.
It provides sufficient fulness for grace
and flare at the lower edge, while it
4s stitched flat over the hips and is
without bulk at that point. Again,
it requires‘ only a small amount of
material whére the gores can be cut
in and out, and even where material
must all be cut one way, leaves sufi-
ciently large pleces to allow’ of cut-
ting the suit or the gown from a com-
paratively small pattern. In this in-
stance the material {s 2 novelty goods
of wool with threads of silk and the
trimming is bands of taffeta, but
braid can be simtfarly applied. Bands
of broadcloth are well liked on rough
material or on velvet or velveteen
and again tho’ skirt can be finished
with a stitched hem only. All sea-
sonable materials that are used for
walking skirts are appropriate.
‘The skirt fs cut In nine gores, these
gores all being cut with extensions
below the stitchings that are laid in
inverted pleats and pressed flat.
‘There also are inverted pieats at the
centre back beneath which the clos-
ing Is made invisibly.

Spréad of the Tip Graft. ~-
- Millions Pald Yearly to Porters and’ Waiters.
Ore Custom We've Borrowed From a
. Enrope to Our Own Disadvantage---
3 Pullman Employes Alone Get
~ . $2,000,000 a Year-—Easy
“Money Made in Hotels
‘The manner in which the people ot
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 por-
ter. Do you know that the dimes
and quarters and halt 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 ir out. There are about
$000 porters in the employ of the
Pullman company. If the total
amount recelved- by each of them
was a dollar a day, that would be
$8000. But in order to make allow-
ance for time off and for stingy or
frugal travelers who give little or
nothing suppose we knock off a cou-
ple of thousand dollars every morn-
ing, That would make $6000 a day,
or $2,190,000 for the year.
This generosity on the part of the
traveling public would be all right
if the porters got the benefit of it.
But they do not, Under present con-
ditions the tips are merely another
source of profit for the Pullman com-
pany. 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 por-
ter gets only $25 a month, and Is left
to get the remainder from the pub-
lc. Therefore the Pullman company,
on account of tips given to its em-
ployes, makes a saving of $15 per
month on each of them, amounting to
$120,000, or $1,440,000 a year.
Atter 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 sta-
tion 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 tips as the waiters.
In many of the large establish-
ments in the cities the attendants
have a perfectly organized system for
securing and sharing the proceeds
they get from the public. 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. It
the one who attended you should re-
fuse to divide, the next time you en-
ter the dining room you will be put
at some other table, presided over by
a “square man.”
Sometimes tne 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 quar-
ter 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 {s distributed
among a number of employes 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
Hkely to receive scant consideration,
for the servants will be busy looking
after those people who are not ab-
sentminded when they finish thelr
meal. @
Ono hotel proprietor tells this ex-
perience 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
Fupon 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
Tooked up at him quickly and sald:
“Like thunder you haven't, Iam 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
pecullar 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,
elther ofthand or in a mold, and con-
siderable skill was required dnd the
process was slow. ‘he glass manu-
facturers laughed at the carpenter,
but he went ahead and built a press,
and now the United States fs the
greatest pressed glasswdre country
in the world.
In 1890 a novice in the plate glass
industry, Henry Fleckner, of Pitts-
burg, whose only knowledge of glass
had been acquired in a window glass
factory, invented an annealing
“Jehr,” the most Important single
improvement ever introduced in plate
glass marufacture. In three hours
by the lehr the same work is done
which under the old kiln system re-
quired three days, In four years the
‘mportations of foreign crown and
plate glass into the United States fell
in value from $2,000,006 to $200,000.
About the same year Philip Argo-
bast, of Pittsburg, also a novice in
glassmaking, invented a process by
avhich bottles and jars' may bs’ made
entirely by machinery, the costly
Diow-over prockst-being avolded. and
the expense of bottlemaking reduced

checked in a hundre¢ gallons of
cream not more than twenty minutes
ago.” With genuine embarrassment
the new recruit replied: “Ob, I
didn't know you were the manager;
Tl bring {t at once, sir.”_ ‘The motive
was to please certain'regular custore-
ers of the dining room, who made'a
practice of tipping, by keeping a 1ib-
eral quantity of cream in reserve for
them, giving ordinary patrons milk
with thelr coffee. .
The barbers in the large establish-
ments of the cities arg also well or-
ganized for securing tips. Most of
them work on percentage and lave
all kinds of extra things they try to
sell each customer. The man who
does.not give ten cents above the
regular tarlff 1s an unwelcome cus~
tomer 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 protty bad with him. He
will likely say: “Do you have any
idea what wages they pay in this
place? They pay so’ little that 1f it
were not for the tips we get we could
not pay rent and provide for qur fam-
ilies. Of course, nearly everybody
that comes in here gives us some-
thing, so we manage to worry along.”
By such means the barber- makes {his
customer understand that something
extra is expected. If a good “edu-
cator” opens up on you and you fail
to take the hint, you had’ better look
for another shop. ,
A dodge which {s worked with unl-
versal success by many crafty ton-
sorlal 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 his chair
he passes this over your head, then
shows you the dirt, which did not
come from your hair at all, bitromt
the-heel of his boot. As he flashes
the solled towel he will say: “ Lots
of dirt in your hair, Better let me
wash It out,” and in nine cases out of
ten thé unsuspecting victim will say
“go ahead,” when he probably doesn’t
need a shampoo at all.
‘Once when the writer was discuss-
Ing tips with a foreigner he made the
following explanation of why it is
done th Europe: “It is merely a lit
tle cash concession made to men who
have to labor at tasks not quite
worthy of human dignity. It is not,
it 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 wo have invented
lips, to reconcile men to perform
‘enfal 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 pereonal
character, can be dignified if It Js
done in « dignified way.
‘The functions of the waiter and
the barber are necessary parts of our
living. We are all more or less de-
pendent on one another, and the most
menial service {s respectable it done
in a respectable manner. Here {s a
chance for organtzed labor to assert
itself. Recéiving chance gratuities
in the place of salaries is nelther dig-
nified nor profitable, but it is demor-
allzing. The particular classes of
labor that receive tips should stand
together and refuse to, take them.
They should demand wages in keep-
ing with the service they render.
‘That taking: chance tips instead of
recelving an adequate salary is ndt
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 ex-
pected to tip the street car conductor.
In Vienna one must fee the janitor
who lets him fn or out of his own
house at night. Practice has made
this so universal that {t !s almost-as

‘Tillman raises corn and cotton, These

The police on Tuesday night
Jast madea raid on alleged va-
grants, several bar rooms and
other places were raided .and
those found within were ar-
rested.
At the bar rooms the police
eorralled everybody therein,
regardless of occupation. At
a fall on Margaret street, all of
the attendants at an entertain-
ment, men and women, were
laced 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 bee ar
rested for vagrancy during tho
week. Many of them were able
.to prove that they were fnno-
cent, 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 strika breakers to
Brunswick. This should meet
the disapproval of every work-
ing men, especially the labor
unions.
Tae Terune and the law
abiding colored citizens are in
favor of getting rid of the
vicious and loafing class, but we
are thoroughly against the mau-
ner in which the law is being en-
forced. By going, indiscrimi
nately in places of business and
arresting every one there as a
vagrant, is a too flagrant viola-
tion of personal rights and liber-
ties, and harmful toany one’s
business. And further no place
of amusement should be raided
for vagrants where there is no
disturbance and a permit for the
samé 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.
Weare in favor of a strict en
forcement of the vagrant law,
regardless of color, but in its
enforcement no other laws
should be infringed upon.
Tue Bishops’ Council did a
good and wise thing in appoint-
ing Prof. R. k. Wright, Jr., as
General Statistician and Finan-
cial Supervisor of the Church.
For this work Prof. Wright is
especially qualified, having been
assistant to the late Bishop
Arnett in his work as connec-
tional 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 com-
mitted to this especial field of
service, Weare are quite sure
that his work will be as satisfac-
tory as his work at Payne
‘theological Seminary prior to
his career as a atudent in Ger-
many, where his studies gave
him special fitness for sociologi-
cal and statistical work—Chris-

THE BALLY A RECOED
BREAKER
The Talk of the Town was
St. Philin’s Rally
‘The great rally of Of. Phiip & Bb
EChurch, took place on Sunday
Iaat and it waa the grandest day in
the history of that church. |The
amount raised is greater than any
raed at any time by a church in
this state, .
At each seryice during the day
the church was crowded from pulpit
to the doors and even standing
room was sta premium, especially was
thia so at the evening service when
hundreds were turned away for lack
of accommodation.
Rev. J A Lindsay D. D., the be-
loved Pastors was at his best and
marabaled his people like a irue
general. Hue practical organization
worked like a charm and eyerybudy
eptered into the rally with that zeal
and cheerful manner that caused the
reaping of the enormous result.
| St Philip Church has more fuith-
ful workerg than any chureh in
the State and this was manifested
last Bunday
During the day thevservices and
sermons preached, were in keeping
with the occasion, and when the
timearrived for the reports from
the various ciubs and the general
collection, everybody was in an ex-
pectant attitude because each leader
was anxious to make the largest re-
turns. High tension was reached at
night when the reports were con-
solidated and the snnouncemente
were made as to what club led.
Following are the clabs,. general
managers and the amoutit each one
No.1 L. M. Fisher, manager $244 50

8 A.G. Holbrook, masager 189 00
9 J.B. Monroe, manager -- 364 73

From the above it'can be readily
seen that Mr. J. B. Monroe, of Club
No, 9, raised the largeat amount and
he was hesrtily commended by
everybody tor his excellent work.
Mr. S. J. Howard leader of Olub
‘No 3, was second. In fact all of
the leaders were\commended for
their good work, with the able as-
sistance of ihe Joyal members and
friends ofthe church.
- ‘The special donationa from the
‘business men, lodges, societies, clubs
and table, during the day, made up
the balance that swelled the grand
rally to 82,500.72. ‘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. Willlams, president of
‘The Wage Earners Loan and-In-
‘vestment Company attended the
services at night, and the pastor and
officers decided to turn the amount
over to him for deposit in the com-
psny’s savings department. Thi
announcement met the hearty ap-
proval of the congregation, and
alter the services concluded the
paater and officers accompanied him
to the office where the ameunt was
safely deposited.
The working spirit and har-
mony which exist ‘among the mem-
bers and friends of 8+ Philip are
better than have ever been heard or
seen. Tho new church will be

The Mother and the Grow-
Inc Bov.
“A boy's life goes ferward by leaps and
bounds after he passes the nursery stage”
Writes Margaret Sangster in Woman's
Hemz Companron for March. “At least
It seems to bis mother. There is the day
when his fathér remonstrates about those
babyish curls that are so beautiful, and
that the mother twines around her fisgers
with such care and pride. The boy has be-
gun to baie them and he geet joyouly to
the barber's to baye thei cut off As the
shears separate each soft ringlet, the
mother feels as if somethiag precious was
severed from ker very heart. She gathers
them up and lays them away, and as her
little lad walks becides her with steadier
step than before she realizes that the.com-
ing dawn of his manhood is quickesingfon
the horizon, .
There is the day whem she sees her boy,
a gallant litte Agure, with his hands is
his pockets, looking an inch taller than
yesterday, because he is dressed less like
litte giriand more like the boy across
the street whom he kas secretly envied.
Those pockets mark anera in boyish de-
velopment. Are they not distinctively a
badge of sex? Surely considering that a
man has fourteen pockets and @ woman
nene at all, the day when the boy first
realizes that he has pockets, and that they
are to hold whatever he pleases, is » great
day for him. The bey has his own happy
day, too, when he first puts on areal pair
of stout shoes, shoes in which he may run
and jump and kick a ball.”
Beply to Critlieism
i want fo say to the public that on Feb-
ruary 19, was the Bellmep's Ball which
was a howling success. ‘The Bellmen
glways lay ot quiteasomeof money sc
that our people can have the best of every
thing. On last Saturday there was an
article Ia The Advocate by one Thomas
accusiog our club of a whole lot, which
was wrong in him,-he was not even there.
Afew of eur white friends from the
hotel, were there and they acted very
mcely. They arrived ata very late hour
as we were about to close; they were
no strangers, they were Well known by
both male and female employees ef the
hotel, They started toWance with some
of them, being very busy at the table as
there is always a rush towards the closing
of a ball, I'did not know at firat what was
going on ; it was ouly a yery few minutes
before I found it out and immediately
stopped the orchestra in the, midst of a
two step.
Iwant ta say that we had some of
Savannah’s best people there on that night
and we never allow anything wrong t0 £0
enatany time. We always maintain good
order and lookout for the welfare of eur
peoble and the way Thomas styled us
and others Is not at all becoming to us.
The men acted very nicely indeed and
gave notrouble whatever, White people
attend the Bellmen's Bail all over the
country because the;Bellmen are well,liked
and we certainly would not do anythlag to
hurt onr people.
Iwill say that Mr. Thomas has taken
« great responsibility upon himself.

' Rev. Afhsworth delivered a very
helpful address on “Making a Life"
at the Sunday Club last Sunday,
In aubstancehe said “Irrespective
| of the uncertainty of the origin of
'man and the greater wocertainty of
his hereafter, we are far more ¢on-
cerned with his presence here. But
believing that God is behind it all
and that what wedo 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 bear-
ing 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 gan work
wonders. After noting the achieve-
ments of people like Arthur
Carruthers, Demosthenes and
Heten Keller though greatly handi-
capped, he urged upon those pres-
eyt to make the most of themselves.
The reat of the program consisted of
a vocal solo by Mr. J. W. Moore, a
baritone solo by Mr. W. 8. Smith,

Zinc Fumes Remove Soot.
An artist has discovered that a
plece of zine laid upon the red hot
coals of his furnace or kitchen range
will remove every particle of soot
from ‘the chimney.
“I,don't pay.a chimney sweep to
fool°with my stovepipes,” he said.
“When the soot accumulates in them
1 take home an old zinc plate and lay
it upon the glowing coals. It melts
and generates some sort of 2 gas that
Simply eats up all the soot in the
chimney. It's a great discovery.”—
Kansas City Star.
Food Value of Bacon.
All results of exact tests confirm
the unique value of Jean bacon in the
dietary. The Minnesota station's
work on the digestibility and nutri-
tive value of bacon (Bulletin 92)
shows that over 90 percent of the
dacpn food was digested and absorbed
by the body. “Ilean 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 scien-
tific demonstration of the truth of
what has long been recognized in
practice, that men can ‘do more hard
work on Jean bacon, aid it will “stand
by them” longer than almost any oth-
er food."—Good Housekeeping.
Cheating @ tadétesd,
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 peopleychoose their bed-
steads with care. ‘The nickel sort has
never proved popular on acount 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 bedstezds are only fit for a
summer home. where everything
should look cool and refreshing.
Brass is the best to get in a metal
dedstefia if ono can afford it. It has
a rich,' warm look. The patterns dif-
fer little, but each season finds an
improvement In the finish. The best
hedsteads are not of solid brass.
They have Iron supporters running
through each separate rod, and this
gives the frame stability.
Although metal bedsteads are con-
sidered 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 com-
fort, One of the handsomest _bed-
steads is of mahogany. It lends an
alr of solid.comfort to a bedroom.
Twin bedsteads of metal or wood
are the proper things now. It is
healthier to sleep alone.

TERRIBLE ITCHING.
Erzema Affected Whole System—Un-
able to Rest Night or Day—Suf-
iil ee Oi Tie
“I euffered severely for four years from
poison oak and ivy. My condition was:
serious, as-I could not rest night or day
and ke free from a terrible itching sensa-
tion from scratching on my hands between
the fingers, my: fect and face. I got the
best of advice and treatment from six dif-
ferent 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 efesight was affected, and 1 went ta
& hospital especially for the eyes and got
relief, but eczema got a ternble hold on my
system. I was aboat to give up al! hope of,
ever being cured. yet I could not be recon-:
ciled to such results, 03 my health had been
good and free from*any disease all my hfe.
My age is seventy-three years. In roy ex-
tremity I happened to read of Cuticura
Remedies for skin diseases. I was anxious
about my condition and desired to evade
any spurious imitatjon. This was in July,
1005, and I called on a certain druggist
for the Cuticura Remedies. I bought five
Boxes Cuticura Ointment, also some Cuti-
cura Soap and Caticura 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 1 am grateful and
happy. W. Field Cowen, Justice of the
Peace and Notary Public, Hartly. Del.,

those which contain no lead, The con-

burns out the Jead and causes the wheel
to wear out rapidly. It is very difi-

this reason trolley wheels must be
manufactured from new metals.

HEART ACTION ON SHIPBOARD.’
Surgeons Find That Vibration Bothers
Their Diagnosis. 5
“All hearts souid alike on these
modern ships,” said the surgeon of a
trans-Atlantic Hner. “Although the
hull of fhe average modern steamer
is bigger and supposediy less subject
to the violerice of the sea, the ma-
chinery 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 fs this vibration which makes
St 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
ot 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 {s far from satisfactory.
“The first day at sea in this ship
on her maiden voyage I had occasion’
to treat an Enslishman who was en
route to Canada on business. { was
startled to hear his heart- Yet ho
had the finest kind of cardiac action,
as I ascertained once the sbip's ma-
chinery 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 {t does. It just sounds
as though the end was positive, and
while the patient's heart is beating
in regular form the shakjng of ‘the.
ship deceives even the practised ear.”

Water and Ice’ a.
Did you ever think how good for us
it is that ice fs lighter than water, so
that It floats on the surface? Every-
thing that we know of expands with
heat and contracts. with cold except
water. Bolling water, if allowed to -
cool, will become smaller in bulk only_
until it reaches a certain point—29
degrees F.—and then it begins to‘er-
pand again until it turns into ice, And
as ice is lighter than water ft foats:,

would be the result if water got small
by freezing instead of larger? Sim-
ply this, that all the Iakes and ponds
would be so filled with Ice that they
would not thaw out in even the hot-
test’ summer, for they would begin, to
freeze at the bottom and the {co
would continue to form all the way up

The Same Old Story.
Indications are that this year the legislature's appropriation of $890,000 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. Elijah 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.

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.

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.

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.

America's "Sportiest" Game Bird By Reginald Gourlay.
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.
