VOL. XXII. ROADS FEAR STATES Consequently are Not Averse to Federal Control. DECLARES MR. BRYAN In Interview Nebraskan Has Something to Say Regarding Conferences Between Railway Magnates and President. William J. Bryan spent an hour in Buffalo, N. Y., en route from Beaver, Pa., to Binghampton Wednesday, to fill a lecture engagement. He was met by National Committeeman Norman E. Mack, who remained with him until his departure for Binghamton at 8:15 o'clock on the Erie Express. Mr. Iryan was asked: "What is your opinion of the proposed conference between President Roosevelt and the railroad presidents?" Mr. Bryan replied: "The republican leaders object to the doctrine, 'With the consent of the governed,' in the Philippines, but some of them seem to think that nothing can be done in the regulation of railroads without the consent of the railroad managers. The important part of that announcement, however, is that the railroad managers want the supervision of the railroads transferred to the federal government, that they may avoid state legislation, and this contradicts the president's theory that the corporations favor state rights as a way of avoiding federal control. On his arrival in Biaghampton he was asked what effect the Harriman and other investigations would have on the agitation in favor of government ownership or management of railroads, and ratified: "The most interesting phase of the situation just now is the refusal of the people to lend money freely to the railroads. The railroad managers say that this is due to hostile legislation, but this is a mistake. There has been no hostile legislation of sufficient severity to impair the real value of railroad securities where the railroads have been honestly conducted, upon an honest capitalization. If the investment public is alarmed it is because the railroad managers, in a vain effort to terrorize the legislatures, have carried matters too far. "If any other answer is needed for the neslancy on the part of the investors the investigations furnish it, for the injuries have shown to what extent railroad stocks have been watered. But what is the alternative? Must the government refuse to investigate rotten management, for fear the mismanaged railroad no longer will be able to fool the public into buying inflated securities? The sooner the railroad are put on an honest basis the more secure will the investing public feel." MARRIAGE IN COURT ROOM. Man Acquitted of Murder Weds Woman Whom he Defended. About midnight Tuesday in the court room at Shreveport, La., where he had five minutes before been declared not guilty of murder. Lee Brock was married to Mrs. Hattie Kelley, the woman in defense of whose reputation he did the killing which caused the trial. The jurymen who had acquitted him were the witnesses and the judge performed the ceremony. The jury donated the license. Brock shot I. A. Bickham last summer, alleging that he cursed Mrs. Kelley. FIVE EXECUTIONS PER DAY Is Record of Drumhead Courtmartials in Russia. Statistics published in St Petersburg regarding the drumhead courtmartials show that up to March 5, when the activity was suspended by Trenier Stolypin, on account of the opening of parliament, 764 persons were executed, an average of almost five daily. ICE MEN FEAR LAWS. No Prices Were Fixed at Convention Held in Atlanta. Anti-trust legislation and the activity of the muck-raker caused the delegates to the convention of the Southern Ice Exchange held in Atlanta to decide against organization for the purpose of regulating prices. As has been the case every year, the question of higher prices was thoroughly discussed, but it was decided that it would not be wise to take any steps along this line. . UNTIL FIRST OF JULY South Carolina Initial Plan of Securing Immigrants Can Be Legally Followed, Say Authorities. A Washington dispatch says: Information given out Wednesday renders it clear that the immigration authorities, as one result of the several conferences recently held, in which the president, Secretary Stranss, Attorney General Ionaparte, Commissioner of Immigration Sargent and prominent men of the south have participated, will interpret the existing immigration law as it was interpreted in the South Carolina case. The attorney general has held that the immigrants landed at Charleston, S. C., last November are legally in this country. They were induced to come to America by authorized agents of the state of South Carolina and the passage money of some, at least, of them was paid by the state, and of others by contributions of citizens. Several other southern states have decided to seek immigrants along the same lines as were followed by South Carolina, and it is understood they will not be interfered with in the carrying out of their plans prior to the first of next July, on which date the act of February 20, 1907, will become effective. In other words, such immigrants as present themselves to the ports of this country before July 1st, next; under conditions the same as surround those who arrived at Charleston, S. C., last November, will be permitted to land. Meantime Attorney General Bonaparte will examine carefully the new immigration law and will prepare an interpretation of it for the guidance of the administration and the southern states. It is quite certain that the states, under the new law, will be permitted to advertise the advantages to immigrants of locating within their borders, but whether the state authorities are to be permitted to go to the extent of furnishing immigrants with transportation to this country is yet problematical. It is the opinion of Attorney General Bonaparte that they will be permitted to do so, but he expects further to examine the law in the light of the decisions of the courts and render to the president a formal opinion on the subject before the law shall become effective. JAP CHILDREN ADMITTED To Schools of 'Frisco in Compliance With Promise to Roosevelt. The San Francisco board of education, keeping its word with President Roosevelt, Wednesday unanimously rescinded the resolution of last October by which the Japanese were segregated in the public schools and adopted an alternative resolution in accordance with the understanding reached at the Washington conference between the president, Secretary Roof, the school board and Mayor Schmitz. The board then sent the following telegram: "At a regular meeting of the board of education held this afternoon, a resolution as agreed upon with you was adopted unanimously. Certified copy was given to United States District Attorney Daylin." The president having telegraphed Mayor Schmitz Tuesday that he would direct Mr. Devilin to dismiss the suit against the board in the United States circuit court and the supreme court of California as soon as the action stated should be taken by the board, members of that body look upon the Japanese incident as now closed in so far as San Francisco is concerned. There is, however, it is stated, an unwritten reservation to the effect that should the president's reciprocal promises to the board regarding discretionary restriction of coole immigration to California not be carried out, the board may feel at liberty to readopt the resolution and again segregate Japanese. BANKS TO KEEP COIN. Cortelyou WIll Not Withdraw Government Deposits Yet Awife. The Secretary of the Treasury Cortelou announced Wednesday that the 10,000,000, which was deposited in national banks the last of September, he returned about the beginning of January 1, will not be called for at present. Beyond saying that he was keeping a close watch on the financial situation in New York, Secretary Cortelou would not indicate what his further plans were. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. MARCH 16. 1907. A BOOM FOR GRANT As Democratic Candidate for President Launched. MOVE WELL UNDER WAY Party Leaders Think Youngest Son of Great Union General Good Timber and Campaign Is Being Pushed. The Atlanta Constitution publishes the following: That a well-organized boom is being launched for the purpose of securing the democratic nomination for the presidency for Jesse R. Grant, the youngest son of former President Ulysses S. Grant, the great union commander, was the interesting intelligence brought to Atlanta yesterday by Hon. G. V. Gress of Heartsease, Ga., who has just returned from New York, where he was in close touch with the democratic leaders. Colonel Gress, who will always be remembered in Atlanta as the donor of the Grant Park Zoo, and who is quite a figure in Georgia politics, having represented Wilcox county in the legislature at different times, has frequent business in New York in connection with his extensive lumber interests, and during his trips to the metropolis has become intimately acquainted with the strongest men in the democratic organization. Colonel Gress declares that there is no doubt as to the determination of the Grant Park Zoo, and who is name before the democratic convention, and he believes that by the time the convention meets Mr. Grant will have a large number of delegates pledged to his support. "A better man to head—the ticket would be hard to find," declares Colonel Gress. "A lifelong democrat and a man whose life has been spotlessly clean, the New York leaders believe that he is the best man available to oppose Roosevelt, for they are certain that Roosevelt will again head the republican ticket. "Mr. Grant, though forty-eight years of age and for twenty years a power in the democratic councils of New York, has never held public office. He could have had any place he desired in the city government, but he refused all offers, as he did the foreign mission which was tendered him by President Cleveland. Mr. Grant has kept himself in the background waiting for the proper opportunity, and he and his friends think this has now come. All along he has done yeoman service for the party, and I can say with the greatest certainty that he now has the enthusiastic backing of nearly all the democratic leaders of New York whose influence counts for anything. "New York and New Jersey and some of the other eastern states are already enthusiastically for him, and prominent democrats declare that, should he be nominated, he will have no trouble in swinging those states into line. The question of Mr. Grant's candidacy is now being put before the democratic leaders of other states, and the most favorable expressions have been heard. A number of southern states are counted on to come into the Grant column. "The eastern leaders with whom I have talked feel that they can get the support of the south 'for Mr. Grant, despite the sentiment which has become widespread in the south that it is time for a southern man to lead the democratic hosts. They think that just now no southern man could make anything like the showing which they are sure Mr. Grant could make. They speak of wishing - some prominent southern man named, for vice president, but as to just who he shall be nothing definite, has been said, of course. Mr. Grant's friends feel that the south will come into its own in due time, and it is with this idea that they are going to go out for southern delegates. CANNOT DRAW COLOR LINE. White Postal Clerks in West Are Given Cold Comfort. The postoffice department does not intend to draw the color line in the matter of white and negro railway mail clerks working together on the same runs. Although an intimation has been given that white clerks in the midwest west are preparing to request the department to effect a change as to put the negroes on runs which will not bring them, in proximity to the whites, it was given out that no such discrimination could or would be made. MOB STOPS TROL LEYS. Street Car Strikers in Louisville Resort to Rioting and Efforts to Operate Lines Are Futile. A continuation of the disorders of Monday; the suspension of service at 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon after an intermittent and ineffectual service and the first move towards intervention by the commercial interests of the city were the features of the third day of the strike of the union employees of the Louisville railway company at Louisville, Ky. During the day half a dozen persons, all policemen, or employees of the company, were hurt, rone of them dangerously, however, by stones and flying glues, as the result of attacks on cars by strike sympathizers. A few more cars were run on Monday and they made more trips, but the patronage amounted to nothing. All service was abandoned for the day at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Committees representing the Commercial Club, board of trade, and the Merchants and Manufacturers Association called on Mayor Barth to lay before him reports of inefficiency and inadequate force furnished by the police department for protection of cars and passengers and suppression of disorders. Mayor Barth gave emphatic assurance that the men available for duty had done all possible, but he further pledged himself to see that the police protection would be up to all requirements from now on. The committees voted him the thanks of their respective organizations and sent subcommittees to confer with President Mineray of the railway company. The result of these conferences were strictly guarded and all concerned refused to say what transpired. It was reported, however, on good authority that the commercial bodies urged Mr. Mineray to consent to an arbitration of the strike issues, but that no definite decision was arrived at. Conditions Tuesday denoted some improvement in the work of police department, but even with officers on every car sent out, there were not enough men to quell the disorders that continued at intervals from the time the first car started out until the company abandoned their efforts and called all cars into the barn. Cars were stoned and their windows broken, switches plugged, wagons placed on tracks and in one instance a barricade 6 feet high was erected across the tracks at Eighteenth and Chestnut streets. The railway company during the morning returned to the postoffice pouches of mail which it was unable to deliver at the substations, because no men could be found who would take the cars to the desired points. In one instance the United States mail sign was torn from a car. Judge Walter Evans instructed the federal grand jury with respect to the consideration of cases of this kind if they are brought to their attention. During the afternoon Mayor Barth issued a proclamation to the people calling upon them to refrain from congregating on street; corners or taking any part in the disorders. ASSASSIN AFTER HARGIS. Man Disguised as Woman Attempts to Take Life of Feudist. A man, disguised as a woman, entered the home of Judge James Hargis at Jackson, Ky., Monday night, and attempted to take his lite. June Jett, nephew of Hargis, saw the intruder in the kitchen, and fired a number of shots at him. The man escaped uninjured. MILL MEN AT WHITE HOUSE. Southerners Confer With Roosevelt Regarding New Immigration Law. A Washington dispatch says: The interview at the white house Tuesday night between President Roosevelt and southern mill men and others interested in the immigration movement to the south, was apparently satisfactory to the visitors, although no definite conclusions were reached. Practically nothing new was developed. ICE MAKERS IN CONVENTION.. Annual Meeting of Southern Exchange Held in Atlanta. The annual convention of the Southern Ice Exchange was called to order in Atlanta Tuesday, morning, with delegates from all over the south in attendance. The first session of the convention was held in the convention hall of the Kimball House at 11 o'clock, and after the visitors had been welcomed to the metropolis of the south and assured that they could have anything they wanted, the members got down to business. TO CUT OUT TRAINS Southern to Make Change In Passenger Service. TO DECREASE EXPENSES Order Goes Into Effect Sunday, March 24th, According to Authentic Report—Details Are Being Withheld. According to the Atlanta Constitution arrangements are being made for the dropping off of a number of passenger trains on the Southern railway on March 24, and those in a position to know state that these plans will affect the Atlanta division particularly. Except for the information that a number of passenger trains are to be cut off, none of details, could be learned. The cutting down of expenses is given as the reason for this contemplated cut. So far as the service is concerned, it is a matter of general knowledge that so heavy has been the passenger traffic lately that the present number of trains has really been inadequate for the handling of the business. For this reason, it seems a difficult problem to understand just how the Southern railway will be able to still handle its present passenger business with even fewer trains than they now operate, especially in face of the fact that this passenger business is constantly growing. No reasons have been given for the cutting down of expenses, but in Atlanta railroad circles, where the coming cut on March 24 is being discussed, it is generally believed that fears on the part of the railroad executives regarding coming legislation is principally responsible for this curtailment of passenger trains. It is the opinion of several passenger officials that the railroads mean to put the public on notice that any drastic legislation will be met with curtailing the present service and equipment, which is being provided. In other words, there are many officials who insist that if Georgia legislates a 2-cent per mile passenger rate, the railroads will retaliate by giving a much cheaper equipment and a schedule with comparatively but a few trains where now many are operated. The plans which are being made for the coming cut is thus explained as the first move by the railroads to put the public on notice as to what they intend to do in case of drastic legislation on the part of Georgia. Another reason which is given for the cutting out of some of the passenger trains on the Southern railway is because of the tremendous increase in the amount of the operating expenses of the road. Very recently the conductors, trahlmen, switchmen and other employees have received increases of wages, while the telegraph operators and signal men have applied for such an increase and have been assured that their petition will be granted to the extent of a substantial increase, and the locomotive engineers are preparing to make similar demands. The railroads also state that their operating expenses in other ways, materials, etc., have increased tremendously, and while the monthly reports show big increases in revenues, these increases in the expenses are such as to have cut down the net profit very materially. The railroads declare that as the prices of living expenses, clothing and practically in every other line of business have been increased, it is impossible for the railroads to be the one exception in this era of unprecedented prosperity, and in the face of greater expenses be expected to reduce railroad fares. For which reason the Southern railway is preparing to even up matters by reducing expenses by cutting out some of the passenger trains. STRIKERS BEGIN VIOLENCE Officials of Louisville Street Car Company Call Off Traffic. The first few hours Monday of the strike of the employees of the Louisville, Ky., Railway company, which was inaugurated Sunday, morning, was marked by much disorder and violence. At 1 o'clock all attempts to run cars were abandoned for the day. Before this several people had been injured, stones were thrown through car windows, cars were held up and the motormen and conductors routed. LICKING HELPED SPAIN. New Spanish Minister to Washington Says His Country's Defeat by U. S. Proved a Blessing. "My mission to the United States is to help cement new ties of friendship," said Senator Don Ramon Pina, the new Spanish minister, who arrived in Washington Friday. "I have 'not come here to remind the American government that it defeated us in a conflict, but I have come here on a mission to help both countries live down the unpleasant past." When his attention was called to a recent communication Admiral-Dewey addressed to a correspondent, in which the hero of Manilla Bay said that that he had won his victory over the Spanish fleet by "divino ald," Senator Pina said: "Please do not consider me irreverent, but if Admiral Dewey won his victory over the fleet of our navy in Manila Bay by 'divine aid,' I think it must have been the god of war—the aid that iron gave him in conquering wood." Senor Pina says his country has prospered greatly since the war, and intimated that defeat by America really developed in a benefit to it, rather than a disadvantage. "It caused the people to awake to the realization," he said, "that they must be up and doing to keep pace with the times, particularly with American progress, and following this both political, and commercial changes have greatly improved." Senor Pina was presented to Secretary Root Saturday and warmly welcomed. His presentation to the president will be delayed for some time because of the illness of the president's son, Archie. RURAL MAIL ROUTES. Report Shows That 37,223 Are at, the Present Time in Operation. The report on the operations of the rural delivery service up to March 1, 1907, made public at Washington Friday by the fourth assistant postmaster general, shows that the total number of petitions received up to that date was 59,920, upon which 15,701 adverse reports have been made, and there are now in operation 37,323 routes, on which 37,174 regular rural better carriers are employed. On March 1 of last year there were pending 3,130 petitions. During the year 2,693 petitions were filed, making a total of 5,823 petitions handled, and now only 705 are pending. Of this number 284 have been favorably acted on and ordered established, leaving the net number of petitions pending 1,411. COLOR LINE IN BARBER SHOP. Connecticut-Tonorsorial Artists Are Not Obliged to Shave Negroes. The Connecticut supreme court has just handed down a decision to the effect that the barbers in that state need not shave negroes. The decision was reached on an appeal from a superior court decision in Bridgeport, by a colored man, who brought suit against a barber of that city. The barber refused to chave the negro, his defense being that his barber shop was not a place of public accommodation within the meaning of the law. The supreme court upholds that contention. GUTHRIE GETS BIG PRIZE. Guessed Exact Number of Paid Admissions to World's Fair. After two years of litigation, decision has been rendered by Judge McIlhenny, in the circuit court at Clayton, Mo., awarding to M. Logan Guthrie of Fulton, Mo., the prize of $25,000 in a contest to the person who entered the nearest guess to the total number of paid admissions into the world's fair. Guthrie guessed 12,504,616, which was announced as the exact number of admissions. Several other claimants appeared and payment of the prize was held up pending settlement of the different claims. Guthrie instituted suit in 1905. SWALLOWED PRUSSIC ACID. Short In Accounts Preston Decided on Self-Destruction All mystery in the death last Thursday night of Leonidas M. Preston at the Hotel Cumberland, in New York, was dissipated Saturday at the coroetel's inquest, when it was learned that it was practically certain Preston was short in his accounts as secretary and New York manager of the Tinken Roller Axle company. He suicided with prussic acid. The shortage, is expected to aggregate from $50,000 to $1000,000. itzi=: Useless Playthings ses jfSBETiwowoqetotewonewo como moes see 34 Elaborate Toys of Almost No Interest to Little Children. 9 Da oNoeesasacacas-o-e-poaoasaieeeeaon”, one canes ares ive years are lived almost entirely in the realm of play,” said Dr, T. S. Fowler-Schonen, at a recent conference on “The Effect of Play,” in the domestic science de- partment of Brookiya Institute. “The infant begins to play In his cradle with ‘his own toes and fingers. - A healthy child is always playful, and he wants to play incessantly, except "when he is Iningry, sleepy or other- - wise uncomfortable.

Th you do not think so, examine the hoard a young child will collect for ‘himself. “I examined one such hoard stored away by a little girl who could lave any playthings she liked. Among her treasures were various old empty spools, the handle of an ‘old brush broom, a clothespin and various such things, including one ‘Dattered rubber doll, the only toy she had taken from an elaborate coilec- tion, I do not know what meaning she attached to these things, but you may, be sure that each old spool stood for Something more than a spool to her imagination. The child Ives in an unreal world, the world of play. His imagination is always at work. Sometimes, if we can get into his world ourselves, he will tell us his ‘ttle tmaginings, ind we can get a glimpse into the fairy realm where he lives, But usually the child is shy with us, because we have lett ‘that fairyland and forgotten what was there.

Keep the child's tastes simple and unspolled, so that he will enjoy each new thing. T remember a little scene which wili remain printed on my memory as a lovely picture of childhood. A father, returning home from a dis- tant city, had brought his wife = set of handsome French china plates. He took them carefully from their packing and piled them one by one on achair. Finally he took out two Uny bisque figures, a little boy and a little girl, aad set them on the chair. As he gathered up thetwrappings his wife touched bis arm and pointed to their two-year-o.d son, who had stood. quietly by, watching the unpacking. The baby stood with his little hands clasped in front of him, bis little body bent forward, his eyes glued to the bisque figures, and his little face shining with a look of perfect joy and delight, which positively irradiated it. ‘The figureshad in reality been bought for the mantelpiece, but without a word he adopted them as his own. They suited his taste, though his father would never have thought sc, and they were given to him. No child satigted with playthings could have shown that quiet rapture with a new toy. “Split pictures are a great delight to children, because they can con- stantly be taken apart and put to- gether again. Split maps are splen- did for older children who have be- gun to study geography. Children love to take to pieces and put to- gether again, It is for this reason tuey lore to build in sand and mould, in clay. This is the’reason they are’ thought destructive. In-reality they are often surprised and grieved when they find they cannot put together what they have destroyed. The chitd gets the same development of social intercourse in play which we get from society. f he plays alone he does not get this development.” Ideal Nursery. ‘It is most desirable that the child from the first should have a room of his own; where he can play without hurting things. Formerly the least desirable room in the house was al- ways set aside for the nursery, and furniture which was not wanted any- where else in the house was put into it. Nowadays in the best home the nursery is the most caretully planned room in the house. It should always have sunlight, for the sun vitalizes the air and Kills germs. The winy dows should always be open, for ven- tilation prevents disease. "To keep out dust stretch cheesecloth over the netting, aud to prevent drafts have a ventilating board nailed across the foot of the window. Have small fur- niture, with rounded corners. Im- agine our discomfture if we were obliged to Ive among furniture de- signed for the use of giants twelve feet tall. Have no unwashable cur- tains or draperies. Keep the room simple. In,a millionaire’s home on Fifth avenue the nursery has tiled walls, and on each tllp {3 fainted a scene from Mother Goose. It Is euough to weary and distress the mind of any child. The tiles aro beautiful for hygiene, but very ex- pensive. Leave the walls bare; tinted in some plaln, delicate shade, per- haps.

It is a curlous thing that Iittle children often cnoose coples of the Madonnas of Raphael Farmers and Bankers. In a speech before the convention of bankers recently held in this clty, E. D. Durham, of IMinols, had this to say about the farmer and country banks: “As land Js the source of all wealth it 1s a flue sort of property for the banker to own. While it may be a bit slow of conversion into cash, it has a standard value in time of stress, making ft attractive to the most timid customer. In times of panic and stress a mortgage on a piece of land is better than any other security. I have never seen the time when the farmers’ mortgage could not be converted into cash without discount, +g “The relations between the farmer and banker have now changed. The farmer ‘Is stil a borrower and thé banker fs still a lender, but the man who dictates the terms Is now on the other side of the counter. The Amer- fean farmer 1s an uncrowned king. This is exactly as it ought to be, for on the well-being of our food produc- ing community depends our prosper- ity as a nation.” : ‘The Feminine Purse in Oklahoma.

A Whale-Headed Stork. “~Among the many curious and un- usual animals'which have been found by Sir Harry Johnston, the African explorer, in the Uganda Protectorate, is the whale-headed stork. The bird ‘Tesembles the common stork in every- thing but the head, which fs anything but beautiful. The beak is enormous and gives the stork a peculiar whale- like appearance. It is rather a puz- zle to sclentists to discover the, rea- son for this enormous appendage.

This method was used in salving the St. Pay}. = _, * few Years ago, while the steam- Ship was feeling her way through a dense fos, she lost her bearings, and with he&d pointed directly toward the interior of New Jerscy ran hard and fast aground on the Long Branch sands. Experts declared that the splendid ship couJd never be floated, and that she would lie where she struck until the first Atlantic gale be-tered her to pieces. However, the wrecking engineers most closely con- cerned with the saving of tho vessel thought otherwise. Lighters were towed alongside the big hull, the stranded vessel's der- ricks were rigged end. racing day and night against fhe coming of the next sflerce gale, the catgo was taken out eof the varigis holds and the vessel lshiened to.the extent of 3009 tons, | all in three days. Then began 2° wonderful spectacle, which thousands of New Yorkers wit- -“nessed,from the shore day by day. ‘Three ‘long Manila cables as thick around as a man’s leg were attached to four-ton anchors, sunk out in the sea 200 fathoms from the St. Paul. ‘Then the other ends were attached to .windlasses on the deck of the stranded craft, and were drawn as taut as fiddle strings. ‘The vessel was thus secured so that the breakers could not drive her far ther up on the beach. But these ca- bles were for another and even more important service; as the breakers rolled against the stern of the steam- ship with all the frightful fury of a sullen sea the tendency of the hull was, of course, to plow farther up on the beach, but the cables prevented “this. In accordance with the law of dy- namics the ship had to do something, however, As each brezker crashed against the stern, the hull, being re- strained from going forward and be- ing obliged to move, rose in the alr— very little, it Is trae, yet still high enough to suit the purposes of the wreckers, for, as it slapped down again after each watery impact,’ the strain and elasticity of the cables tended to pall the vessel outward— not far, 2 foot, six inches at a time, perhaps, but ever seaward—the slack of thé cables being taken up by the windlasses. + . One day the wreckers gainéd ten yards; every day ‘somethiig was gained, and all this time the fleet of tugs Kept pulling and tugging, and the screwsot the distressed vessel kept churning and "churning full speed astern, and derricks were exerting thelr great lifting power—until at last, at the end of three weeks, more than three weeks, If memory serves, with a bedlam of shrieking whistles and cheers, the splendid greyhound was dragged from ber sandy bed and Aonted in hernaturalejement—From an Article in Pearson’s Magazine. ‘How One Millionaire Started. When Otto Young, who was Chl- cago’s second richest man at the time .of his death, stepped off the gang- plank In New York he had scarcely enoazh money to buy him a night's lodging. He was fifteen years old— little more than a child—yet on that first day in New York he exhibited in an extraordinary degree the char- acteristics which in a few years brought him great wealth. He ‘re- solved not to go to his mother until he had money enough to be independ- ent. He wandered up Broadway, carry- ing the bag which held- all his pos- sessions. He had not-gone far when his eyes fell on a street vender of toys, who appeared to be doing a thriving business. Otto watched him for an hour, until he'had sold out his pack. Then Otto followed the man to a wholesale house and saw him purchdse a fresh supply of toys. . Without hesitation the raw young immigrant {nvested his meagre cash in toys, and soon afterward he, too, was selling them on Broadway. He knew a little Enslfsh, learned in London, and at, night, after replen- ishing his stock a couple of times, he found that he had cleared $1.60 on his first day in America.—Chicage ‘Tribune. am The Dlessing of Labor. It is a curlous fact in the history of nations that only those who have had to struggle the hardest for an existence have been highly success- ful. One would think that It would be a great relief to have the bread and butter problem solved by one's ancestors so that he might ‘devote all his energies and time to’the develop- ment of the mental and spiritual fac- ulties; but history teaches us that those born to a heritage of poverty and toll, not thgse reared in the lap of fortune, have, with few exceptions, een the leaders of civilization. It ig the struggle which develops—the effort to redeem oneself from fron surroundings—which calls out max hood and unfolds womanhood to the highest possibilities. The men and women who have had to struggle against overwhelming odds are the ones whose lives have marked step- ping stones in their country’s pros- ress. Man must struggle, or cease to grow.

A sclentist of the Public Health and Marine Hospital Service, while examining the condition of the Poto- mac River, has made an interesting observation on the effect of rain in increasing the number of microbes in the stream. After a hard rain, lasting several days, it was found that the microbes were about six times as numerous in Potomac water’ as they were before the rain, and when fair weather set in again the number of jlerobes rapidly de- creased. The increase, it ts bellered, came from “both the air and the” land, but in this case, fortunately, the microbes were all of harmless species. - "Pressing Duties. * _ Entering his humble home, the man was vastly startled to meet the stork coming out; and when he ob- served that the fabled fowl was sweating at every pore, as being un- der great stress, a consternation seized him.

On many occasions ToE Trr- aunx has called attention to the abuse ‘which many of our, girls are subjected to in the North, especially those without experi- ance. Advantages of every ‘kind are take of them. One form of abuse is depicted in the following from the New York Age. Eoromlssioner of Licenses John N. Bo gart, Saturday revoked the license of Jannie A. Valden of 73 Fleet street Brook: lyn, on a charge of Ill-treating and _swind- ling girls brought bere from the south. ._ Mra. Vaiden's fath@r-io-law, Benjamin F, Vaiden, for years was at the head of one of the largest employment agenclgs in klyn. ~ He brought country girls from Tie Giawictsof the onthy, and phey” were sent to reimburse the sgeats forthe girls’ tranrportation for thelr board in Brooklyn’ while waltiog for ‘work, and for’ office fees. ‘This money was withheld ‘from the ‘girla’ wages." 7 ‘The commissioner said complaints were made that the charges were extortionate that many girls were held in servitude until their aileged debts were paid,, and that Mrs Vaiden held clothing and triakets jas security for money she claimed was owing her. —_ : Anlt again, ata meeting of the Committee for Improving the In- dustrial Condition of the Negro in New York there was‘brought out another form of abuse of these girls which is given on cer- tain steamship lines. A com- mittee was appointed to investi- gate the charges. Parents with girls must be careful before consenting to have them go North. SMenator Morgan’s Mistake i018 Surprising that a man with the first-hand knowledge and the ripe logic of Senator Mor gan of Alabama, should persist im an advocacy of deportation as aremedy for the south’s Negro problem says the Atlanta Consti tution, In his recent resolution looking to American interven- tion in the Congo, the Senator declared it the duty of ‘this government to preserve intact the greatresourcesof that re- gion for the benefit of the ex- slaves, towhom we owe “repat riation to their own country. The Springfield (Mass) Re- publican, commenting on Senat- or Morgan’s veiwpoint, says: In- tervention such as the senator proposes might be justified ifthe deportation or repatriation idea was not absolutely visionary. But the Negrorace in America outside of Bishop Turner, gives no support to repartriation schemes. The overwhelming conserva- tive sentiment of fhe south, as well as the north, eoincides with the conclusion of this New Eng- land newspaper to the effect that the deportation or repatriation idea is ‘absolutely visionary.” As The Republican remarks, the southern Negro himself, in the mass, pays no attention to the proposition, unless agitated by some isolated firebrands of his own race. Here and there déctrinaires of both races have champiéned} the theory as a plausable solution. When pinned down*o facts, and asked to outline how this un- wieldly scheme is to be financed and conducted, they betray a hopeless lack of logic and prac- ticability. The problem will be vastly simplified by propaganda _look- ing to the incalculation of mor- alsand religion, such as The Constitution has heartily advo- cated from time to time. But all debate of whatever natue, must be based on the pri- mary proposition that the Negro is hera,to stay. Any other pre- mise is falacious. Agitation, along inflamatory lines is crimi nal, along chimercal lines, it is time wasted. What the nation really needs is less ‘agitation’ and more quiet calm working toward peace and practical results ‘Chained in Shop Window ! as Culprits | One of the moat disgraeeful acts witnessed recently. was the chaining of two colored boys in the show window of Gardner's store on Bull and Broughton streets on Tuesday last. “This window was broken and sev- eral articles stolen. To make capital of it, the proprietor hired two boys, hand cuffed and chain ed them in the window, and had them labeled as the ones who committed the act. Every col- cored person who saw it became indignant Tue Trisune man was informed about it in the afternoon and immediately took steps to have thie boys liberated. The mayor was communicated with and ina short time after- wards the boys were removed from the window. Mr. J. D. Savage, had much to do with the removing of this objection- able ‘spectacle.

Wm Gray preached an interesting sermon. The closing remarks made by R. W. Grand Chief, L. W. Beasley The grand chief was at his best and easily impressed his hearers. The subject of his remaks was "As the Jews assembled at Jerusalem" He discussed the two feautures of Samaritans in Georgia. He said that the General Assembly of the state granted a charter to his faction in Oct. 14, 1891, for thirty years, and that any other Samaritan is called bogus. He said that the order was brought from England by two men, Hicks and Boughs, in 1844. Boughs was expelled from the order and afterward organized a lodge of Samaritans, which was called the Boughites from that time to the present. Grand Chief Beasley showed in his remarks the wonder:ul growth of the order and that he is an able leader in whom the people has confidence. The attendance was one of the largest that ever was at St. John and the entire services were interesting. Home Wedding: The pretty home wedding of Miss Mary C.

Fertilizers Virginia-Carolina Chemical Co. Increase Your Cotton Yields Per Acre Thousands of cotton planters have done so by using VIRGINIA- CAROLINA FERTILIZERS, and hundreds of them tell about it in our 1907 almanac. Deep preparation, and liberal use (400 to 1000 pounds) of per acre, concentrated on fewer acres, thoroughly cultivated, enables the tap roots to strike down deep to reach the moisture, and the feeding roots to fake complete possession of the soil early in the season. Your plant will then be so strong, robust and healthy, that it fruits heavier, matures earlier, opens earlier, and can be gathered earlier to better advantage, and in better order—thus insuring best results in marketing as well as obtain the largest yield per acre.

If you need a first-class laxative, there is nothing better nor safer than that old family remedy, Brandreth's Pills. Each pill contains one grain of solid extract of casparilla, which, with a valuable vegetable product, make it a blood purifier of excellent character. If you are troubled with constipation, one pill at night will afford great relief. Brandreth's Pills are the same fine laxative as your usual remedy. They have been in use for over a century and are sold in every drug and medicine store, either plain or sugar-coated. It's a pity we can't keep our good resolutions by placing them in cold storage. HICKS' CAPUDINE IMMEDIATELY CURES HEADACHES Breaks up COLDS IN 6 TO 12 HOURS Trial Bills As Drafts Her Special Realm Two Sides of the Case. When I urge our women readers to acquaint themselves with the questions of the day in governmental as well as in other affairs, I appeal as a last resource to their self-interest—that it would be to their personal advantage to "read, mark, learn and inwardly digest" the news of the times and form and express opinions thereon. And then I point to the selfishness of people in general and appeal against it. No selfish life, no thoughtless life, no idle life can be honest. All those who are making no return to the country for the benefits received—protection, education, opportunity—are defrauding the land. As to Proper Breathing. If you want to be fully developed, with an easy grape of motion that tells of the perfect control of every muscle, then take to rhythmic breathing. It will make a new, woman of you. The hollows in your cheeks and your neck will fill up as if by magic. The increasing heaviness of your walk will disappear. You will acquire a complete command of your body. Any flabbiness or angularity comes from breathing with only the upper part of one's lungs. Double chins and other deformities are due to the same causes. A clever lady doctor advocates the corset, though she deprecates tight lacing, says Woman's Life. She believes the support helps to educate the muscles. Support where it is needed, no constriction, good food, plenty of fresh air and a complete understanding of how to breathe properly would result in something very nearly approaching absolute physical perfection. What Parents Should Guard Against. Love, faith and confidence should be developed and made permanent in every home. It is a sad day when a child loses faith and confidence in father or mother, and when he can point to the time when he was disappointed and deceived by those in whom above all others, he trusted. Children naturally believe that what father and mother say and do are right and true, and no parent can afford to forfeit such implicit trust. Parents should zealously guard their words and actions in this respect, and by so doing they will be able to exert a healthy moral influence which will be to their children in after years a safeguard against impending disaster, says an exchange. As early as a child can understand anything, his first impressions of his parents should be a trustful confidence. This is the secret of his future self-control and the power by which parents can exert an influence which shall determine very largely the physical, mental, moral and spiritual character of their child.—Indianapolis News. Blue Tulle Screens Beauty's Face. Vells are in a transition state, certain hues rapidly going under the ban, while others are coming into favor. Of one thing be certain—black is doomed. So are white and rose color. Beauty is studying lights and shades more assiduously than ever. Paris, as usual, is in the lead, and all good New Yorkers who hope to go to Paris when they die are following it closely. The dames of the gay capital wear in velling hardly anything save pale blue tulle, and French women living here are paying the new idea the sincerest compliment. Madame Jusserand, for example, wears tulle of that hue entirely, and one of her vells is a work of art. It is cut in circular fashion, with a frill of the same shade, giving that bunchy effect so much desired. Over the whole a golden spider web has been woven so delicately as to look more a shadow than a reality. Other vells of the witty French woman's show silver threads and are fully as effective. The shaded red vell and the hideous greens and purples are making way for the daintiest fashion in blue, at least among the wearers of imported goods—New York Press. To Read Aloud Easily. The demands on the mother in the way of reading aloud to the children often become quite a serious tax on the strength, and especially if she has not learned the methods that best economize effort in this direction. Yet it is possible, with a little care, to minimize the effort of reading, so that the entertainer can proceed for a long time without weariness. The public singers, speakers and actors have, for self-protection, to understand and practice the art of using their powers with the least wear and tear; otherwise their work would be impossible. Those who are expert in their line utilize every artifice for their labors. For this reason they can endure public entertaining that would speedily weaken or kill those who are untrained in the methods of saving themselves. The first thing to recognize in preparing to read aloud, for prolonged periods, is the necessity of breathing correctly and easily. This means deep breathing, so-called; that is, from the diaphragm. It is well to practice this for a few moments daily in pure air, either sitting or standing. One should persevere until conscious of using the whole lungs. By correct and deep breathing, the strain of reading aloud for long periods will be greatly reduced. The voice should be placed against the roof of the mouth, which is the natural sounding board. —New Haven Register. Woman Jury Guita. Christiania newspapers are much exciled over the recent strike of three women jurors, for in Norway, it seems, women are admitted to almost all public offices. At the beginning of the proceedings one day these women surprised the presiding judge with the declaration that under no circumstances could they take part in the examination of the witnesses, alleging as a reason that among the cases on the calendar was one calculated to offend their modesty. After conferring with the public prosecutor the judge adjourned the session and ordered that the three vacant seats be filled by men. The daily press has severely criticised this method of settlement, on the ground that the judge had no right to exempt, from duty regularly elected members of the jury because of any such reasons as those alleged, and it is further noted that at the time the question of admitting women to the judiciary arose the leaders of the woman movement laid particular stress on the advantage to the female judge or juror of her feminine delicacy in moral questions. The organs of femininism do not admit the soundness of this reasoning. They say that the sensational strike of the three jury women was due solely to the ungentlemanly conduct of their male colleagues, and that, instead of filling their places with men, the judge should have discharged the men and filled their places with women. They even go further and say that the judge and public prosecutor should have declared themselves incompetent and transferred the case to a court composed exclusively of women.—New York Tribune.

Miss Forderer had been Mr. Weaver's stenographer for six years, and her familiarity with the work of his office led to her appointment upon the resignation of George A. Welsh, who gave up the secretaryship to become assistant district attorney. Although Miss Forderer has held her present position for only a few days, she has already, it is said, proved her entire fitness for it. She knows just how to soothe the ruffled feelings of the fuming, fretting citizens who have to await their turn to see the chief executive and how to lighten their regret if they fall to see him. "You see," she said, in an interview, "I feel quite familiar with my new duties because I have known Mr. Weaver so long and have been in the office here since the beginning of his administration. I know pretty nearly everybody here, and I can tell instinctively just who should be permitted to see the mayor and others who could come just as well some other day. So many who call really have no need-to see him at all, and I can readily direct them properly. I appreciate the responsibilities of the position, and I shall try to fill it acceptably to the mayor and to all others." Miss Forderer is said to be only 22 years old. She is an attractive young woman, with golden brown half and gray eyes, and on her first day in office, she wore a blue broadcloth skirt with a short sleeved white shirtwaist. Fashion Notes. Black and white is as charming a combination for winter as for summer wear. The chemisette is now a necessary part of the hand-embroidered set of accessories for the colored waist. The-fluffy arrangement of the hair about the brow now in vogue is much prettier than the stiff high pompadour of a few seasons ago. Most delightful combinations for long coats for daytime wear are those of dark cloth, green, blue or brown, with linings of soft, dark fur. The novelty above all others modish, are the ribbon bands for wear about the top of the collar, studded in rhinestone designs, set in silver. Groups of embroidered grapes, leaves and tendrils, highly conventionalized, form the heading for a deep graduated flounce upon a dainty gown. A narrow graduated ruffle attached to the bodice at the line made by the edge of the square chemisette is a new note on some of the late bodices. Slender girls welcome the dainty plisse bodices, for they are extremely becoming and develop beautifully in the soft thin materials now so much in vogue. Nothing more charming can be imagined for the decoration of a supply cloth gown than an arrangement of spangles or paillettes above a velvet hem. Turbans trimmed so lavishly with ribbon as to appear like animated plaid bows when a side view of the wearer's head is obtained, are among the most stylish as well as appropriate hats for tailored costumes. Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made and forgot to put a soul into.—Henry Ward Beecher. You who would serve the master, serve the master's own.

Farmers may well be congratulated on the interests of farmers. in economic and political affairs and on their independent thinking and independent voting—John M. Stahl. Reverence and use aright the hours which, as they perish, are imparted to you.

The great cities grow like creeping paralysis over freedom, and the man from the country is walking into them all the time because the poor restless fellow believes wealth awaits him on their pavements—Owen Wister. God has made you after his own plan, and he places you just where he wishes you to work with him to bring about the highest results for yourself. He has given you every opportunity. Make yourself what you will—remember it lies with you. God can make no mistakes!—Alice Freeman Palmer. THIEF BEHIND A PORTRAIT. Substituted His Eyes for Those in the Picture and Made a Rish Haul. A Russian official named M. Loktieff on returning home with his wife about 2 o'clock in the morning was attracted by a strange noise in the drawing room, as if a chair was being pushed. An examination by candle light revealed nothing amiss, and a search in the other rooms had the same result. They returned to the drawing room, where a large portrait of Mme. Loktieff's grandfather, in the uniform of a Uhlan officer, was standing against the wall. The young wife glanced at the portrait and uttered a scream rushed out of the room. "What's the matter?" asked her husband, greatly surprised. "I just thought the portrait was looking at me with real eyes!" answered his wife, who was trembling violently. Her husband laughed at her childish fears. Half an hour *passed before Mme. Loktieff came to herself, and then remembering that she had left her purse in the drawing room with £6 in it she took a candle and bravely entered the room in her search for it. A wild shriek followed. Her husband rushed in and found his wife lying in a dead faint on the floor. With the cook's help he carried his wife to bed. While he was nursing her he told the cook to search the room carefully, but she did not find anything suspicious. The next morning M. Loktieff, looking more closely at the portrait, found that the eyes had been cut out and the portrait had been moved a little from the wall. Further investigation showed that many valinables were missing. The thinef had hidden himself, it seems, behind the portrait and was watching the couple all the time through the eyelashes of the portrait.—London Dally Mail. Longevity and Work. The records of centenarians show that the full exercise of the various powers, mental and bodily, is conducive to great age, so that there need be no fear of entering heartily, actively, and with full interest and energy into the assigned work of life, physical or mental, provided one does not put more continued strain on one's resources of strength than they can bear without protest. Work, enjoyed as it should be, promotes health of body, and, especially if stimulated by other motives than personal ambition and gain, engenders that cheerful and placid frame of mind which is one of the adjuncts of centenarianism. The inhabitants of almost any rural district will be found to point with pride to the number of hale and hearty octogenarians, nonagenarians, and centenarians living among them as an evidence of their healthy environment and hygienic lives, while every rich city furnishes innumerable examples of unfortunate people going to unhonored early graves through idleness and indulgence and the perverted and unhealthy ways of living and killing time that idleness induces. The normal human brain and muscular system are able to expend a prodigious amount of energy without suffering an permanent deterioration, provided the strain is not kept up for such a time that the centres of energy become exhausted and impaired. Men and women should learn to know just how much energy they can expend without causing harmful effects to their systems, and then they should endeavor always to remain well within the limits imposed by their individual organization and endowment of recuperative force.—The Circle. Teachers' salaries in the New York city public schools vary from the minimum of $800 annually to the maximum of $2400. A STONE WALL Father—All sorts of rumors are afloat in town about you, Sophie.

The woman who has periodical headaches, bucklechace, sees imaginary dark spots or specks floating or dancing before her eyes, has gnawing distress or heavy full feeling in stomach, faint spells, dragging-down/down feeling in lower abdominal or pelvic region, easily startled or excited, irregular or painful periods, with or without reliev catargh, is suffering from weakness and derangements that should be treated with appropriate moves symptoms are likely to be present in any case at one time. Neglected or badly treated and such cases often run into maladies which demand the surgeon's knife-if they do not resulfate. No medicine extant has such a long and numerous record of cures in such cases as Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. No medicine has such a strong professional endorsement of each of its number of ordinary non-professional testimonials. The very best ingredients known to medical science for the cure of woman's peculiar ailments enter into its composition. No alcohol, harmful, or habit-forming drug is to be found in the list of its ingredients printed on each booklet. The female oath outlines. In any condition of the female Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription can do only good—never harm. Its whole effect is to strengthen, invigorate and regulate the whole female system and especially the pelvic organs. When these are deranged in function or affected by disease, become sympathetically injured, nerves are weakened, and a long list of bad, unpleasant symptoms follow. Too much must not be expected of this "Favorite Prescription." It will not perform miracles; will not cure tumors—no medicine will. It will often prevent them, if time, and thus the operating table and the surgeon's knife may be avoided.

One dealer on Dock street sells about three thousand muskrats a week. These are purchased principally by degrees, who are very fond of the dish, though it is whispered that in season at some of the restaurants muskrat often masquerades as rabbit. It is somewhat similar to the latter in taste, but sweeter, and those who have eaten it pronounce it all right. For this market the rats come already skinned, and, when possible, frozen. They are found everywhere in the vicinity, but a chief source of supply is Salem, N. J., where the catching of them is something of an industry. Whenever they are found they are frozen and kept until the supply on hand is sufficient for a shipment, and then dispatched to this city. They are eaten in many small places, by pebble who catch them, but are not sold at retail except in the larger cities.—Philadelphia Record. Fire Horse Turns on Flight. South Norwalk has a fire department horse that turns on the electric lights when an alarm of fire comes in. Jess is the name of the intelligent creature, being named after Jesse M. Ferris, treasurer of the Manhattan Rubber Company, of New York. Once, putting its head over the edge of the stall, the horse chanced to turn the switch. Now when an alarm of fire comes in at night Jess reaches over and turns on the lights before the driver has an opportunity to touch the button which releases the stall doors. Previously the lights were burned in the firehouse all night. Now there is a saving for the city, as Jess is always on the alert—Norfolk (Conn.) Cor. Chicago Chronicle. THE WHOLE FAMILY Mother Finds a Food For Grown-Ups and Children as Well. Food that can be eaten with relish and benefit by the children as well as the older members of the family, makes a pleasant household commodity. Such a food is Grape-Nuts. It not only agrees with and builds up children, but older persons who, from bad habits of eating, have become dyspeptics. A Phila, lady, after being benefited herself, persuaded her husband to try Grape-Nuts for stomach trouble. She writes: "About eight years ago I had a severe attack of congestion of stomach and bowels. From that time on I had to be very careful about eating, as nearly every kind of food then known to me seemed to cause pain. "Four years ago I commenced to use Grape-Nuts. I grew stronger and better, and from that time I seldom have been without it; have gained in health and strength and am now heavier than I ever was. "My husband was also in a bad condition—his stomach became so weak that he could eat hardly anything with comfort. I got him to try Grape-Nuts and he soon found his stomach trouble had disappeared. "My girl and boy, 3 and 9 years old, do not want anything else for breakfast but Grape-Nuts and more healthy children cannot be found." Namo given by Pestum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

Y.—Preaching at the Irving Square Presbyterian Church on the theme, "A Christian. Why?" the pastor, the Rev. Ira Wemmell Henderson, took as his text Acts 26: 28, "A Christian." He said: which in its fullest outworkings shall mark as tangible and real the results of the spiritual energies upon the life of man; a moral law which, in short, shall prove a panacea for indis This is the question that men who are outside of Christ ask. This is the inquiry that many of the best souls in the service of the Master find difficulty to answer in such fashion as to satisfy the intellects of those who do not enjoy the same spiritual blessings that they themselves possess in Jesus. This is the interrogation that we must be prepared to grant a sane and convincing reply if we are to be the workers in the vineyard of our Lord, that He desires us to be. We should be prepared at all times to undergo examination on this point. Always must we be ready to declare the reasons for and the reasonableness of the faith that is within us. And yet how many of us can, on the moment, give clear, concise, argumentatively upholdable grounds for our spiritual faith. The most of us fall back upon the assertion that we are Christians because we find in it the satisfaction of our minds, our hearts, our souls. For us this is sufficient. But the man who goes behind our satisfaction is oftentimes the man we meet and a man who always must be repelled to with reasonable evidence and convicted out of the fullness of sensible, intellectually compelling truth. He asks what are the grounds of our satisfaction; what is the brand of the satisfaction that we find glory in: why, in short, are we at the root Christians? A Christian. Why? And to answer that we must look within and without us; we must take counsel with our souls and with the countless souls of the universe of God; we must consider contemporaneous life and we must examine history; we must understand the spiritual and the moral elements in man; we must take cognizance, with care, of the human life and the human life all time. It is not necessary that we shall be experts upon the minute details of the historic life of humanity. It is essential that we shall be correct in our judgments and that our premises shall be valid. A Christian. Why? Now some men are Christians by heredity. They are so by birth. They have grown up in the arms of the church unquestioningly and have taken the religion, as they have taken the names, of their fathers and their mothers. Far be it from me to disparage that sort of religious life, if so be it be full and free and glorious to the soul of the man who is its divinely endowed possessor. Such a man is usually quite able to 'declare the grounds of his belief. But there are many hereditary Christians who can give no enduring reasons for their religious acceptances—I can hardly call them convictions any more than some men can reveal in intelligent fashion the reasons for their hereditary political affiliations. Some men are Christians because it is politic so to be; others because it is commercially or politically or otherwise profitable; and still a larger host I fear are the nominal disciples of the Nazarene because it is socially commendable and wise. Some men are Christians because the Bible commands such a religious course upon those who read its precious words. Better that sort of reason and that kind of Christianity than none at all: Many other men are intellectual Christians. They yield homage to the historic Christ; of the vital and invigorating Savior who calls the souls of men to-day with blessedness and joy and beauty, power, peace, they have no concession. They know much concerning Christ, but of Hottentot they are as ignorant as the Hottentot is of the laws of the Medes and Persians. And all these men cannot lead men of intellectual and discerning force into the very presence of the Most High as He stands revealed to us to-day in Jesus Christ until they are indwelt by Jesus and are certified in their own lives by radical evidence, rather than by superfidel, of the deepest and the holiest influences that make the Christian life joyous and that command it to the world at large. A Christian. Why? To speak broadly we may say that all men are instinctively religious. Whatever we may have before the dawn of history, the truth outstandingly is this, that normal men everywhere are essentially religious. Men are not equally advanced in religious information or in the several departments of religious thought. But irresistably and indubitably we are impressed with the fact that universally men are endowed with a common elemental religious capacity and susceptibility. Throughout all the world we find humanity exhibiting a religious instinct which reveals itself in the consciousness of a spiritual relationship with a higher power and in obedience to certain moral regulations that are conceived to be beneficial to society and to the individual in his human relationships, and satisfactory to the higher agency that controls the world. Everywhere men, in the outreaching of their spiritual faculties, desire the intimate knowledge of an understandable-power, which we call God. They desire to know the truth concerning that God. They desire that the universal ruler of the destinies of men shall unfold to them the wisdom residing in Himself. They yearn with eagerness and with hope unspeakable for a release from the bondage and the dominion of sin—that is to say, from the control and influence of a detrimental force which, whether it be understood and expressed in the terms of objective or, of subjective experience, is, none the less, real. Hand in hand with the spiritual consciousness there goes an elemental, a growing, perception of the actuality, the necessity and the value of moral law as the applied truth of a self-unfolding God; a moral law which in its fullest outworkings shall mark as tangible and real the results of the spiritual energies upon the life of man; a moral law which, in short, shall prove a nanacea for individual and social ills. We are Christians. Why? Simply because in the face of human necessity and human experience, in the face of the universal religious facts, in the face of our own religious information, we believe, and are sure we can demonstrate beyond peradventure, that in Christianity there is to be found both the deepest and the fullest and the richest spiritual life, and the highest and most efficient moral law. We are Christians, because in the kingdom of God as unfolded to us in Jesus Christ we are assured of, and have entered into, the certainty of a sensible communion with a higher power which, as an imminent, infinite, humanly understandable, loving personality, is revealed objectively to us in the person of the Master. And this personality, whom we call God, strengthens, sustains, comforts, consoles, insures us, and is constantly, both objectively and spiritually, revealing Himself to us. We are Christians because in Christ and His Gospel we find the fullness of divine truth unfolded in language and revealed in convincing power in a human life. Human wisdom cannot comprehend larger principles of righteousness and loftier spiritual conceptions than are delivered to us in the messages of Jesus, nor a grander application of the sufficiency of those truths for the molding of character and the influencing of human life than is to be perceived in Christ. We are Christians because within that faith is to be found an escape from the dominion of sin which is far more efficient and far more sure than anty to be found, elsewhere. Jesus is indeed the answer of the universal hope and of the world-wide need. In Him the soul of the individual, and of society, finds final release from the power of the adversary. His salvation is free; it is universal in its appeal; it is simple as to its condi- tion; it requires no education of the schools it ordered to be understood: it is potent in this life and it teaches out into eternity, granting to it the sin-sick, weary, burdened hearts of men the precious promise of not only final but also lasting deliverance from the prince of the powers of darkness. We are Christians because the faith that finds its name and its inspiration in Jesus Christ is the receptacle of the highest moral law. Within the treasury of Christian truth is to be found the last thing in the application of the principles of the eternal dominion of Jehovah to the affairs of humanity in their multifarious, relationships. In all the world there is no gospel which is so far-reaching and so mandatory, so inclusive and so searching, as it concerns itself with human conduct, as is the Gospel of the Savior, when it is rightly accepted and properly understood. Emanating as it does from and toward God, it spirit, it satisfies our hearts and keeps firm in the Christian faith. In it we recognize the handwork of God. We find in it the final solution, the panacea for the dissolution of all human ills. Uncompromising with evil and declaring constantly for the pure, the righteous and the good, it inspires our devotion. Greatest and best of all, we are Christians because all that we have received, all that we accept, all that makes us strong and steadfast, is, when we test it in our individual experience, found to be faultless. The Gospel whereby we are saved, the Christ who is our Redeemer, the promises which daily are mediated to us by our Lord: all these may be taken not without investigation, or upon hearsay evidence. We may try the revelations of God for ourselves. We have tried them. We are, therefore, Christians. The Father of All. Someone has caught this beautiful message from the trees and flowers. As the natural sun does not shine for a few trees and flowers, but for the whole world, so the Sun of Righteousness shines not for a favored few but for the world of human hearts. As the lonely pine on the mountain side looks up to the sun and cries, "Thou art my sun," and the little meadow violet looks up and whispers, Thou art my sun," and each field of gravel and grain upon a thousand hills looks sad and weary, Thou art my sun" so the high and low, the rich and poor, the Caucasian and African can look up to the Sun of Righteousness and say, "Thou art my Father." Recently a wealthy man of society gave a dinner for fifteen friends, and the cost was sixty dollars a plate. With a few extras it cost him about $1000. On his way home he remarked to a neighbor, "Not one of the fellows appreciated it, and I am coming home mad at myself for my foolishness." A man gathered ten ragged boys together and treated them to ice cream. As they left the confectioner's, they raised their caps and gave him a "hurrah" that was heard blocks away. He went home happy. His one dollar had done more than the other's thousand. Under His Wings. Little thought is ever given to the prevision and devotion of the mother bird as necessary to the very life of her young, and little thought is taken of the tremulous affection with which the Holy Spirit broods or hovers over souls as necessary to their regeneration. "How excellent is Thy loving kindness, O God!" for under the shadow of Thy wings only could we ever have come by the principle of life spiritual and eternal. Appreciation. You Look Prematurely Old Two Opinions of Solitude. While serving in Nebraska, Dr. Walter Reed, remembered for his distinguished service in the extermination of yellow fever, was frequently called on to practise among the grangers, who else out a bare subsistence by trying to farm where, the rainfall is barely sufficient for a good crop once in three years. In the winters, says the author of "Walter Reed and Yellow Fever," he was often obliged, in the discharge of his professional duties, to take journeys on horseback that were dangerous from the risk of being overtaken by a blizzard. A little incident occurred on one of these expeditions which Doctor Reed always referred to with amusement as an instance of the difference in man's "point of view." He was sent for while a blizzard was raging and the thermometer was below zero to go a distance of twelve miles to see a sick woman. He started at sunset in a driving wind, out on to the open prairie, where nothing could be seen but a sheet of snow, stretching miles and miles ahead of him, without a landmark visible. It was not long before he lost his way, and wandered about for hours, when suddenly a little beacon of light appeared, and he found the tiny cabin he was seeking. The woman was very ill, and he could not leave her until the next afternoon, during which time the husband did his best to entertain him. While they were sitting before the rickety stove waiting for some coffee to boil, the old man drawled out: "Well, doc, I often feel sorry for you folks at the post. I know you all must git powerful lonely sometimes." The post consisted of four companies, with headquarters and the band. Moreover, it was situated within sight of the railroad station; and Doctor Reed, with the recollection of it in his mind, was at that very moment commiserating inwardly the utter isolation of this poor old pair in their remote cabin.

"Words are inadequate to express my gratitude for Cuticura Remedies. I had been troubled with eczema for five years on my ear and it began to extend on my cheek. I had been doctoring with the best physicians, but found no relief whatever. When informing them that I could not bear the itching I was told by one of our best doctors, "not to scratch." As the medicines and salves did me no good I thought I would get the "Magic Three," Cuticura Soil, Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Pills, costing me one-half of one visit to my physician. After using as directed, with plenty of hot water, I can truthfully state that I found instant relief. When I had used three boxes of Cuticura Ointment and two cakes of Cuticura Soil I found my skin as soft and fine as a baby's. My circle of friends is very large, and I am persuading them to use Cuticura Soap and give up the kinds they were using. I find no trouble, as my case has proven to them if Cuticura Ointment is good, Cuticura Soap must be likewise. Miss Netta Ayers, 131 Franklin Ave, Brooklyn, N. Y., Sept. 1 and 15, "00."

We believe a Mason may be tried, convicted and punished for the casting of a ballot unmasonally. We do not think such Masonic offenses are rare, but we willingly admit that the cases in which offenses may be properly proven are extremely rare. This is because a Mason has an absolute right to cast his ballot without question or inquiry, as his motives are confined to objections to the particular candidates; he has a right to maintain them. We have known cases, however, where a Mason has openly boasted that he cast a black ball against a petitioner without the slightest feeling of objection against him, but solely out of spite toward the lodge.

PENROSE SHIELDED NEGROES. Captain McDonald, Incensed, Lets Cat Out of the Bag. Incensed because of certain statements, Major Penrose of the twenty-fifth infantry is alleged to have made Friday during the progress of the courtmartial proceedings at San Antonio, Texas, Captain W. J. McDonald, former ranger captain and manager of the state's investigation of the "shooting up" of the town of Brownsville, Texas, left Austin Saturday afternoon for San Antonio, where his 'views will be aired.' "It he (Major Penrose) is correctly quoted," declared Captain McDonald. "I desire to say that I have heretefore, refrained from making any statement [in regard to the matter, but since he has seen it to make such a statement, I will say that Penrose was guilty of shielding the guilty negroes that murdered Natus and shot into the houses of citizens of Brownsville and I caught him in the act of trying to cover it up."

Pugh, formerly a senator of the United States from Alabama, died in Washington Saturday night of pneumonia, aged 87 years. He was a native of Burke county, Georgia, and when four years of age was taken to Alabama. In 1611 he was elected to the confederate congress and re-elected in 1663. He was a member of the convention that framed the state constitution for Alabama in 1875, and for sixteen years a member of the senate of the United States, being succeeded in that body in 1897 by Edmund Winston Pettus. TO WAR ON THE OPIUM VICE. Initiative in Suppression Is Taken by the United States. The United States government has taken the initiative in inaugurating a new war on the opium vice.

Green, 45 years old, and married, a merchant of Shandon, a suburb of Columbia, S. C., was waylaid and killed Saturday night by Edward Marshall, who himself was killed by Green. Robbery was the motive. The shooting occurred about 11 o'clock, but the bodies of the men were not discovered until about 3 o'clock Sunday morning. When found, Green's clothing was on fire, his body being badly charred around his heart and side, where the bullets took effect and a roll of green-backs were burned in twain. The feet of the men were less than a foot apart, showing that they faced each other when they were killed. At Green's right hand lay a 32-caliber revolver, with four empty chambers. Near Marshall's right hand was a 41-caliber six-shooter, with five empty chambers, while a 38-caliber pistol, which had not been fired, was at his left hand. Under his body was a well-made leather sling-shot or sand bag, having two rounds of small shot in the end. Near his head lay two burglar's masks, one having two bullet holes in it, and was clotted with blood. Marshall was shot twice through the head and once through the right breast, while Green had three bullets through his heart. The finding of the two masks and three hats leads to the belief that Marshall had an accomplice, but up to this time no arrests have been made. Marshall was 24 years old, unmarried and the son of the manager of the large department store of J. J. Mimnaugh of Columbia. The fact that Marshall had a pistol in each hand, it is hard to understand how he was able to manipulate the sandbag. SHAW WILL BUY BOND8. Ready to Turn Loose $25,000,000 for Government Fours.

Loktleff, look- ing more closely at the portrait, found that the eyes had been cut out and the portrait had been moved a little from the wall. Further investigation showed that many valuables were missing.

An examination by candle-light revealed nothing amiss, and a search in the other rooms had the same result. They returned to the drawing room, where a large portrait of Mme. Loktleff's grandfather, in the uniform of a Uhlan officer, was standing against the wall. The young wife glanced at the portrait and uttering a scream rushed out of the room. "What's the matter?" asked her husband, greatly surprised. "I just thought the portrait was looking at me with real eyes!" answered his wife, who was trembling violently. Her.husband laughed at her childish fears. Half an hour passed before Mme.
