TO TEST NEW LAW Railroads in West Decide to Advance Rates. increase of 12 1-2 Per Cent on Grain Coal and iron Ordered as the Opening Wedge-Move A Washington, special says: The latest development in the scheme of retaliation by the railroads of the country for the adverse state legislation recently enacted was the notice served on the interstate commerce commission Wednesday that an increase of rates on grain, coal and iron of 12 1-2 per cent had been depleted upon to become effective April. 1. The revolt is started by the roads of the middle west, but may extend to the south. This new move will serve to test the constitutionality of the rate regulation law. The roads will attempt to show that they are now unable to carry the above commodities at a profit under the rate which has existed for two years and that an advance is necessary. For the four years previous to 1904 the tendency was toward an increase of rates. For the following two years it was toward a decrease, and this tendency has continued since the present rate law became effective. This move of the railroads to increase revenues because of state legislation reducing passenger rates has been generally known for several weeks. When the new rates are sought to be put into effect the interstate commerce commission will be charged with the duty of fixing a "just and reasonable" rate. Members of the interstate commerce commission believe any action of the commission reducing freight rates will be taken into the courts by the railroads and have arranged to get quick action by the United States supreme court should the constitutionality of the law be thus tested. The department of justice will aid in this effort at expediting matters. Since the new rate law has been in effect 1,000 applications have been filed with the commission for permission to change rates within five days, as required by law. When a reduction was intended the petition was granted. The present application to raise rates will be resisted. ASYLUM MAY HOLD THAW. Prosecutor Jerome Insists That Stanford White's Slayer is a Lunatic. A New York dispatch says: The now which Harry Kendall Thaw has been in terror of ever since his trial for the murder of Stanford White began, fell Wednesday. District Attorney Jerome did not make formal application for the appointment of a commission in lunacy, but in an impassioned speech he appealed to the conscience of the court, asserting that Thaw, as he sits daily in court, is unable intelligently to advise his counsel, and is believed by every one who has watched and come into contact with him, to be insane. Mr. Jerome asserted that his own alienists—the six men who testified for the state—were convinced when they had considered all the facts in connection with the case, that Thaw was of unsound mind. Mr. Jerome dramatically accused the counsel for the defense of concealing testimony, which, if presented to the court, would make the continuance of the trial a crime. So earnestly did he plead that Justice Fitzgerald dismissed the jury until Friday morning, and adjourned court to decide whether the trial shall go on or whether a commission in Inancy shall be appointed to pass on Thaw's mental condition. BANK CASHIER JONES SKIDOOS Took With Him About $50,000 of Charlotte Institution's Coin. Frank H. Jones, assistant cashier in the Charlotte, N. C., National bank, has left town with a shortage, it is said, of $68,006, which, it is claimed, will be made good by the directors voluntarily Jones has been speculating, it is said, and this is beloved to have been the cause of his alleged defalcation. It is estimated that he carried $10,000 or $50,000 with him. A reward of one thousand dollars is offered for his capture GREAT GRAFT IN 'FRISCO Grand Jury Indicts "Boss" Ruef 64 Times and He is Required to Give Bond in Sum of $640,000. The grand jury at San Francisco Wednesday night returned seventy-five indictments charging bibbory, sixty-five against Abo Ituef, and ten against T. V. Halsey, former general agent of the Pacific States Telephone company. Halsey is now in Manila, Philippine Islands, installing a tele- phone service. A statement by Assistant District Attorney Francis J. Heney says in substance: Of the sixty-five indictments charging Abraham Ruef with bribery, eighteen are for the alleged urbiling of the board of supervisors in connection with the granting of fight permits to the so-called fight must. Ruef is charged with having paid each one of the eighteen supervisors $500, and one indictment was returned for each supervisor alleged to have been urbiled. Eighteen indictments against Reef are for bibling the eighteen supervisors to vote for 85-cent gas, instead of a 75-cent rate, it being charged that each one of the supervisors was paid $750 by Reef. Thirteen indictments against him are for the alleged bribing of thirteen supervisors in connection with the granting of a franchise to the Home Telephone company. The telephone company bid and paid to the city $25,000 for the franchise, in connection with the same matter, fourteen indictments were returned against T. V. Halsey, formerly general agent, of the Pacific States Telephone and Telegraph company for the alleged bribing of four supervisors to vote against the granting of a franchise to the rival company. According to Heney, Halsey is charged with having paid thirteen supervisors $3,000 each and one Jas. L. Gallingher $10,000. Halsey, it is said, agreed to pay each supervisor $2,500 additional if the franchise was not granted to the home company. Of the fourteen supervisors, who, it is charged, were bribed by Halsey, nine Mr Money said, turned around and took money from the other company to vote for the franchise. Judge Coffey fixed the ball at $10,000 on each indictment, or a total of $640,000 for Ruef and $100,000 for Halsey. In the overhead trolley deal, Ruef, according to Burns, was given $483,000 by the United railroads, of which the politician boss is alleged to have divided $91,000. Assistant Attorney Heney stated that the indictments "were the beginning of the end of Ruef," and also the beginning of the work of exposing the municipal corruption in San Francisco, and the prosecution of those high up, who are responsible for such conditions in this city." District Attorney Langlon said immediately after the indictments had been filed. "The remarkable organization of this graffing and corruption in San Francisco, its amazing ramifications, involving millionaires and the better clas sof citizens, will appeal not only to the city, but the entire country when it is fully laid bare "Ruef acted as broker and agent between the corporations and the board of supervisors in all matters pertaining to the obtaining of privileges from the city fathers." FOLK CALLS EXTRA ASSEMBLY Missouri Governor 'Wants Further Legislation Enacted. Governor Folk of Missouri issued an official proclamation Wednesday night convening the legislature in session April 9, 1907, at noon. Among the subjects named in the call pre: To enact such legislation as may be necessary to provide for the regulation of the rates of public corporations; to control dram chops; to provide for the removal of derelict officials; to provide for the suppression of race track gambling Small and Independent Roads in Georgia Couldn't Stand Rate Cut. The executive officers of the twenty-six short, independent railroad lines in Georgia, representing about 25 percent of the railway mileage in the state held a meeting in Atlanta Wednesday to discuss conditions that now confront the transportation lines. The representatives expressed themselves freely and asserted that any chang in the present freight and passenger rates will incalculably injure their property, and might finally result in wholesale bankruptcy. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. MARCH 1907. ADVICE BY FINLEY President of Southern Makes Speech at Banquet. Says People and the Railroads Should Come to a Better Understanding and Just Dealing Be Fostered. An appeal to all southerners to stand by the railroads for the sake of the development of the south, was made Friday night by W. W. Finley, president of the Southern railway, at a business banquet tendered him in New Orleans. He said, in part: "M railways of the south are to be brought up to the standard required by the expanding business of southern communities the people of the south must be actuated by the same spirit of cooperation they showed in the early days of railway building, when communities vied with each other in offering inducements for construction. The day for governmental and municipal financial aid for railway lines has passed, and that many millions of dollars that will be required for additional track capacity and terminal facilities must be obtained from private investors. This money cannot be supplied in any great amount from the earning of the roads. The greater part of the money must be borrowed." Identified during most of my business career with railways of the south, I know the resources of its railways will be taxed to the utmost to provide the additional facilities that will be required. The provision of these facilities at the earliest possible date is of incalculably more importance to the south than any possible rate reduction or any proposition to penalize roads for failure to perform services which are beyond their present capacity. "I believe that it is to the interest of the railways and the people that a spirit of harmony and just dealings be fostered. I believe that in the present state of affairs, it is the patriotic duty of every man, whether connected with a railway or not, to contribute his utmost towards bringing about these better relations." Mr. Finley unqualifiedly urged the development of Mexican, Central and South American trade by southern communities with their down grade transportation lines to the gulf. BOTH FIRE AND FLOOD Harrass Pitsturg and Cause Property Lbss of $200,000. Fire in Pittsburgh destroyed the plant of the American Sheet and Tin Plate company and slightly damaged the holt works of the Oliver Iron and Steel works, adjoining. The loss to the tin plate company was about $25,000 and to the Oliver company $1,000. The fire originated from a car of lime, which was set on fire by the high water. Four business houses and fifteen residences have been owned to the ground in the Mount Washington district, or twenty-seventh ward, across the Monongahela river. Two attempts were made to stop the flames by dynamiting adjacent buildings, but the wreckage caught fire. The fire practically burned itself out at noon. Insurance men estimate the loss at $200,000. Twenty-five business houses and dwellings were destroyed or badly damaged. Given Ovation at Banquet by Democrats of Massachusetts. William Jennings' Bryan was the guest Friday of the democratic state committee of Massachusetts and at a banquet in Boston delivered an address, in which he touched on various points of democratic doctrine which he declared had been vindicated by recent events. WILL RESORT TO BARGES. Shippers at New Orleans Compelled to Go Back to Old Methods. Unable to fill orders from interior points on account of the shortage in railroad cars, the Cypress Mills of Louisiana are arranging to resort to the old time methods of shipping by barges. Many barges are now being bought and built by some of the largest plants in the southwestern part of the state, and consignments of cypress shingles will be sapped to points as far north as St. Louis on the Mississippi river, and Cincinnati on the Ohio. "WE'VE LOST OUR HEADS" In Wild Chase of the Almighty Dollar, Says President of Princeton Col- The South Carolinians of New York gave their first annual dinner at the Waldorf-Astoria in that city Monday night, with former Secretary of the Treasury Leslie M. Shaw, President Woodrow Wilson of Princeton and Judge Joseph A. M.Cullough of South Carolina as the principal speakers. President Wilson had for his subject, "South Carolina's Most Famous Statesman, John C. Calhoun," and after paying tribute to him, Mr. Wilson discussed national matters. He said in part. "It is interesting to note how often progress is pushed to such a speed and urged by such means that the peace of the country is threatened. Its interests thrown into discord. Our trouble at present is that the tariffs and all special means of stimulation have been pursued too far and too fast, to the destruction of balance and harmony in the social and economic development of the country. We are obliged to acknowledge that we have lost our heeds in our pursuit of wealth and material prowess. Having lost wise self-possession in our too eager progress, we are in danger of losing it in our efforts to reform. "We have, by our own forgetfulness of the true principles of legislation, created classes and put colossal interests at clash with one another. "The more reform of the tariff is not a sufficient, it is not even an intelligent program. The tariff is by no means the whole root of the difficulty, and is slow to change. Every correction must be a series of adjustment or prudent rearrangement. Moreover, we must be careful to deal frankly and without favor with class privilege of all kinds. "There is another as formidable an enemy to equality and freedom of opportunity as it, and that is the class formed by the labor organizations and leaders of the country, representing only a small minority of the laboring men of the country, quite as monopolistic in spirit as the capitalists, and quite as apt to corrupt and ruin our industries by their monopoly. If we are to restore the purity of our laws and the freedom of our life, we must see to it—in all moderation and fairness—that no class whatever is given artificial privilege or advantages." Mr. Shaw, in responding to the toast "The United States," took occasion to refer to the railroad situation, saying, among other things: There have been recently given out a number of pessimistic interviews, and on Thursday last, there occurred a serious local panic, the result of psychological, and not logical causes. Let it be understood that he who invests his money in railroad extension, or in railroad equipment shall be as safe and as secure from the reckless ambition of the manipulator on the other hand, and the reckless ambition of the demagogue on the other, as the man who elects to invest in farm lands, town lots, mines, factories or forests. "Let the investor in railroads be protected from management having for its end manipulation, and from government ownership or confiscation, having for its end political aggrandizement, and the money will be forthcoming with which to double and quadruple track our railroads, as needed." GIRL LOCKED IN SAFE. Fitch Robbery Story Comes from Evansville, Indiana. Miss Josie Gray, cashier for the R. and G. Furniture Company, the largest establishment in Evansville, Ind., was found locked up in the safe in the office at 1 o'clock Sunday morning, where she had evidently been placed after having been slugged by robbers, who robbed the safe of several thousand dollars. SPECIAL DELIVERY LETTERS. New Law Permits Transmission Without but the Usual Stamp. Postoffice department officials are looking forward with interest to the putting into effect of the law permitting the transmission of letters and packages for special delivery where the necessary 10-cent postage is not attached in addition to the ordinary postage. The law will become effective July 1, next, and is intended to do away with the necessity for the usual special delivery stamp. It is believed at the department that a considerable increase of business will result. FINLEY STATES CASE Of the Railroads in a Banquet Speech at Atlanta. LOWER RATES INIMICAL Greatest Need Now is Better Rail Service—Gives Warning That Present Agitation May Do More Harm Than Good. The 1907 annual dinner of the Atlanta chamber of commerce, at the Piedmont hotel Tuesday night was an epoch marker, and one of the most typical gatherings of Atlantans ever mobilized. There were young men and old, men gray, and even white, with the years of experience, but all of them active, energetic and so filled with the Atlanta spirit as to make them all young in secking the Gate City's good, while furthering their own individual interest. The principal address of the occasion was by President Finley of the Southern. Among those who listened to the speakers none paid closer attention than those visiting members of the Cotton Seed Crushers' Association of Atlanta. These gentlemen, representing one of the greatest and most rapidly growing industries in the state, came from all parts of Georgia. Perhaps a reference on the part of President Pope in introducing President W. W. Finley of the Southern railway, caused the greatest enthusiasm of the evening. This was the suggestion that Attenta was the logical center of the Southern railway, and the natural place for the location of its headquarters and general offices. This suggestion occasioned a veritable storm of applause and a broad and happy smile on the part of President Finley. As the official arose to speak his name, coupled with that of the late President Samuel Spencer of the Southern railway, was responsible for long continued cheering. "The Relations of Railways to the Public" was the subject of President Finley's address, and his speech was a pertinent and important presentation of the subject from the viewpoint of the railroad side of the question. His every word was given the closest attention and at the conclusion of his address he was given an enthusiastic ovation by his many friends and admirers, who some years ago learned to know, and respect him as their fellow townman while he was stationed in Atlanta as chairman of the Southeastern Passenger Association. In his presentation of the subject, President Finley stated that better and more improved facilities for shipping and transportation were greater needs in the present development of the south than any lowering of rates. He stated that these rates at present were sufficiently low for the southern producer to compete with his eastern and western business rivals, and that the prompt placing of these products on the market was the chief aim and need of the southern shipper. President Finley contrasted the attitude of the public towards common carriers by water and by rail. He insisted that rail transportation was more important than water transportation, and that as soon as the people thoroughly understood and appreciated this fact, they would be as reluctant to place obstacles in the way of railroad improvement as they would to oppose the improvement of waterways. Referring to the present agitation in regard to the regulation of railroads through legislation, President Finley expressed the fear that this legislation, unless governed by sound and conservative business judgment, might lead to the curtailment of railroad extension and development and conditions made infinitely worse, rather than better. MANY CONVICTS AT LARGE. Another Wholesale Escape Occurs in Americus, Ga. Another wholesale escape of county convicts from Sunter's chaining was made at Americus, Ga., Monday, when five men broke a bar in the prison pen and escaped. Going to the railroad ships, they secured tools to sever their shackles. There have been numerous escapes recently, with the result that seventeen misdemeanor convicts are now at large, besides Murderer George Bundrick, and other jail birds. NO. 25 As Result of Fire Which Broke Out in Flooded District of Wheeling. Rescue Was Impossible. Elghteen persons are known to have lost their lives in a fire that occurred, Saturday morning at the plant of the Warwick Pottery company, at Wheeling, W. Va., which is located in the flooded district. Because of the water surrounding the burned district, it was impossible for the fire apparatus to reach the scene. The firemen pressed into service all the boats that could be secured and carried the lines of hope to the burning building by this means. They did heroic work, and not only fought the fire, but assisted in rescuing many persons. The crew of a boat that was moored across the river from the building manned a yawl and rescued about one hundred persons. During the progress of the fire the scene was most frightful. The screams for help of those in the buildings could be heard as far as the steel bridge a mile north, where thousands of persons unable to lead any assistance watched the blaze. Had the drowned persons remained in their homes none of them would have met death. The buildings occupied by the unfortunate victims were not touched by the dames. Heavy Flood Loss at Pittsburg. After three days of business stagnation caused by a remarkably rapid rise in the Monongahela, Allegheny and Ohio rivers, which inundated more than ten square miles of Pittsburg, Pa., conditions have about assumed their normal trend. With the exception of lowlands below the city, the water has subsided to its natural course. The loss in the Pittsburg district is estimated a: $10,000,000. Reports from up-river points increase the damage by the flood in western Pennsylvania at least $30,000 The exact number of fatalities caused by the high water has not yet been ascertained. Saturday additional reports of many deaths were received by the coroner from the surrounding towns. However, the reports have not as yet been verified. Flood Feecedes at Wheeling. At Wheeling the waters began to recede Saturday night, leaving the city covered with wreckage. The debris is so great in some sections of the city that it will be days before the streets can be used. The flood was higher than anticipated, and as a result much damage was done. It is estimated that the damage sustained in Wheeling alone will be over $3,000,000. So great has the damage been to local industrial plants that it will be weeks before they will be able to resume operations. There is a great deal of suffering, but prompt steps have been taken to alleviate this. SHELI.S WERE EASILY SECURED. One Line of Defense in Brownsville Affair is Smapped. A Washington dispatch says: Evidence shattering one line of defense of the negro troops accused of shooting up Brownsville, Texas, was given before the grater committee on military affaires by Rowland Osborn, post quartermaster segeant at Fort Brown, Twenty-sixth Infantry, occupying the barracks which were later occupied by the Twenty-fifth (coiored). It has been testified that the negc soldiers had no possible way of securing extra ammunition without the knowledge of their superior officers. Sergeant Osborn testified that it is the simplest thing in the world for soldiers to accumulate ammunition for their own use; that it can be done by men saving ammunition they do not use on hunting trips or at target practice. He said that this is often done. It had been contended that the shooting up of the town by the negro soldiers was highly improbable because they could not have gotten the shells and cartridges. Sergeant Osborn's testimony contradicts flatly such a defense. FRANCE HONORS DEAD JACKIES. Sailors Killed in Explosion on Battleship Given National Funeral. The victims of the explosions on the battleship Jena, March 12, were given an imposing national funeral at Toulon, France, Saturday. All business was suspended. The coffins were piled on gun carriages, draped with the tri-color flag of France, and almost the whole population of Toulon, dressed in mourning, flued the route of the funeral procession.

Pennsylvania Parentless Boys and Girls Made Self- Supporting and Sent Into the World Trained to Lives of Usefulness. ::: ::: ::: ::: 77. WINSLOW FEGLEY. Where an average crop of 350 bushels of wheat, 50 bushels of rye, 300 bushels of oats, 600 bushels of corn, 500 bushels of potatoes, 50 bushels of grapes, 125 bushels of turnels, 25 bushels of beets, 100 bushels of string beans, 50 tons of hay, 1000 head of cabbage, 2000 stalks of celery, 2500 bushels of apples, 50 bushels of cherries and lots of other fruits is raised annually, there is ample evidence that orphan children can run a farm. At Bethany Orphans' Home the larger boys and girls of the 135 inmates run a farm of about ninety acres successfully. From the fruits of their toil they live and at the same time receive that physical exercise which has kept them the healthiest boys and girls in the State. A broad assertion, but for the last twenty-five years, there has been practically no illness at this place, and the slight attacks were such as whooping cough or heavy colds. Epidemics are kept away by that watchword "cleanliness" and by the exercise they get on the farm in the open air. Their 'farming experience starts early. The little boys begin with gardening when they are six, when they learn how to grow flowers in a garden of their own. When they get a year older and a little stronger they accompany an elder boy—who has charge of one of the farm teams—to one of the fields, and they begin to pick stones, learning that to raise good crops the ground on the surface at least must be free of stones. Another group at this stage begin to learn the ins and outs of the poultry business. Here they are allowed to construct miniature poultry plants of their own, and the profits they derive they are allowed to keep. They have poultry houses of every description imaginable. Some of them are not larger than a large dry goods box, others are from six to eight feet in diameter, with a height of ten feet. Usually two of the boys club together and form a partnership and raise chickens and pigeons. It is surprising what success they make out of it. They pay close attention to their stock, and by the end of the year they are always on the credit side of the ledger account. This teaches them to be careful business poultrymen, and not a few have gone from Womelsdorf, Pa., and have become practical poultry farmers, and have not been afraid nor ashamed to acknowledge that they obtained the first principles at Bethany. Orphan Home Farm. Where 135 orphans are at home there is always plenty of work, and the space required for their welfare has to be commodious. The trustees of the institution lately decided that it was necessary to erect another building for the welfare of the little folk, from the ages of five to eight years. This means work for the little farmer boys. In the first place, it gave them a way to clear a large tract of land they had long contemplated clearing. The land was lately forest land and was full of roots and stumps. They, however, saw the practical end of the matter and figured if they cleared the land of the stumps everything removed from the tract would be useful. They went to work with a vim. One of the elder boys was put in charge of several dozen younger boys with a stump puller. "Yep," he cried, and all hands were at the stump-puller, carrying it over a big stump. Another command, and dozens of hands were outstretched and, with another yell of "Yep!" the levers came down with a mighty pull and the stump slowly but surely ascended. In this manner those industrious farmer boys cleared a large tract of land. The stumps they hauled off and formed a stump fence. They say this fence will last twenty-five years, and then the stumps can still be used for fuel purposes. The stones they dug out of this tract were used for the foundation walls of the new cottage to be used by the little ones. Finally the reward was apparent; they would have a clear piece of land upon which they could raise good crops; and how delighted those boys were that their farm was increased by at least four or five acres! In the same manner they cut down the giant trees standing on the other side of the present buildings upon which the new building is to be erected. The larger logs they hauled to the sawmill, or they made beams out of them to be used in the construction of the new building. They are fearless little toilers, and never seem to get tired of their work. They love gardening, and the large garden they keep in a systematic order, where each one of the boys has a certain duty assigned. One does this and the other something else. Three little boys are known as chickens minders. They do nothing except watch that none of the chickens get into the garden. Another trio are the weeders, and they keep the weeds out of the respective parts of the garden assigned to them. Another group does the planting. Another attends to the drainage and watering of the plants. Others do the hoeing, and the girls come in to do the gathering of the vegetables and prepare them ready to be put on the table. The farm buildings are complete in every respect. The barn is large and commodious, and is equipped with all the improvements. The interior is handily arranged. The boys know how to care for their cattle, and they, keep them nice and clean. The horses are always well curried. What does such an army of little busybodies do in winter time? Lots of work, to be sure! They have their own school on the premises, where they have school ten months of the year. The school day is divided into two periods. One of those is granted to them as a recess period, and the smaller boys devote this period to play, while the larger boys devote the time to work. In summer and fall they do field work, such as plowing and harrowing, sowing and corn husking, while in winter this period is devoted to sewing. Boys sewing? Surely, and how grandly they do it, too! Under the charge of an experienced teacher, both the boys and girls learn to sew. They enter the sewing room at the age of seven years, when they begin work at darning stockings, which they are able to do within a few weeks. After they have been in the sewing-room for at least a year they are able to/mend all their own clothes, and by the time they leave the home, at the age of eighteen, they are expert little tailors, able to do all kinds of sewing. The girls are also started on darning stockings, but before they leave the institution they are able to do any kind and all kinds of needlework. They make their own bedclothes, their own garments and do lots of fancy work, which they dispose of at special sales held on their anniversary day, which generally comes in August. The money they derive from this work goes to the treasury, and it all will be used for their own welfare. The girls not only do the milking on this farm, but they do a great deal of outdoor work. During the vegetable season in summer time they also work in the gardens and in the fields. One little band of girls is known as the "bean pickers," and every other morning, when beans are in season, they go off to the fields with their haskets and pick the beans. They come back merrily singing church songs and empty the beans so gathered in the kitchen, where two or three dozen other girls sit around the bean pile and pull off the strings. Before the average girl leaves the Belfany Farm she has learned to be a first-class cook, and knows how to bake besides. Every girl has to become before she is eighteen years of age an expert in the line of cooking, which she learns from a woman attendant who is constantly in charge of the cooking-room, and teaches them how to do the work right. In this same manner they are taught to bake good bread and pastry, all essential things not to be despised on the average American farm. There is no laziness at this farm, where boys and girls work together so willingly. They begid their day's work at 5:00'clock in the morning, when they rise, wash themselves, and go to the chapel to say their prayers. After breakfast, which soon follows, they go to their respective work, and if it is vacation they work until 11.30 o'clock. The afternoon period lasts until 5 p.m. If the work is all finished that they were expected to do the evening hours are free to themselves. Should the jobs have not been completed, they are usually finished after the supper hour. In the winter a couple of hours are devoted to preparing their lessons. Their schooling is of the very best, and when those practical young farmers go away from Bethany they not only know how to cultivate the soil, but they have Become proficient in all the branches required for them to be able to enter normal or trade schools, while others are able to pass successfully examinations which entitle them to teach in the public schools of the State. When they are eighteen years of age they are free to go out into the world and make their own living. The good character they have obtained while in the institution, their manual training and the honesty of purpose they have acquired have fitted them so well for the duties of life that the cases are few and far between where Bethany boys and girls make no success of life. One other thing before closing this article about the orphan farmers is that they are able to leave with a good moral training. Their religious life has not been neglected while here. They are fortified against the wicked world by a large number of teachers and by the Rev. Mr. More and his wife, the superintendent and matron. They have regular services and Sunday-school on the premises, and they are taught the Word of God while they are still young, as they have to say their prayers before partaking of their meals and before they lay their weary bodies down to rest at night. This training has not been, in vain, as some of those who have gone from this place have become good preachers and reformers in other work, while others have become leaders in society as well as in the various professions of life.—New York Tribune WHAT WOMEN ARE WEARING SCHOOL DRESS New York City.—The plain, or tailored, shirt waist is in demand at all seasons of the year. Nothing else is quite so serviceable and practical THE NEW YORK CITY MAIL. for daily wear and nothing will stand laundering with such success. Here is one of the newest and latest that is adapted to linen, to Madras, to per- 1 cale and to all cotton shirtings and also to light-weight flannels, silks and the like. As illustrated it is made of taffeta, stitched with beldling silk and is worn with a plaid belt, which matches the fancy stock, this stock combining the silk of the waist with the plaid silk tie. It would, however, be an exceedingly approprate waist for cotton and linen, the tie being either of silk or washable material as preferred or the plain stock only being used. The waist is made with a fitted lining, which can be used or omitted as material renders desirable. And consists of the fronts and the back. The front edges are finished with broad hems and the fronts are laid in alternate tucks and box pleats, while the back is plain. There are regulation shirt sleeves and there is a plain stock over which the tie is arranged, the two closing together at the back. The quantity of material required for the medium size is, three and three-quarter yards twenty-one, three and three-eighth yards twenty-seven, or two yards forty-four inches wide, with half yard of silk for the tie. Velvet Hems. It is a wonder that velvet hems are not too heavy for such sheer gowns as chiffons and lace, but they are found in almost every case this winter. Baby Lamb Preferred. Hats covered with baby lamb are much worn, this fur being thin and supple enough to be handled as millers handle velvet. Old Galter Recalled. Boots with patent leather or dull kid vamps and colored cloth tops, in whose sides are set strips of elastic matching the cloth, vaguely recall the days of the prunella gaiter. Directoire Coats. Long Directoire coats in drap couple will be a feature of the coming modes in taller garments, arranged very frequently with high waistbelts of soft black satin, finished with revers of the same material, and fastened with large buttons of dull gold. Nine-Gored Skirt With Panels. The skirt that is plain at the upper portion and full at the lower is unquestionably the favorite for walking length and is essentially graceful and satisfactory. Here is one that is quite novel, made with panels that are plain above and pleated below and which provides abundant and graceful flare. As illustrated it is made of amethyst colored broadcloth, stitched with belding silk and trimmed with buttons, but it is adapted to all seasonable materials, and it can be made more elaborate with trimming of braid if liked. The skirt is cut in nine gores with extensions at their lower edges. These extensions are laid in inverted pleats and the panels are joined to the gores above them, and to their upper edges 1 while the fullness at the back is laid in inverted pleats. The quantity of material required for the medium size is eleven and a quarter yards twenty-seven, six and a half yards forty-four or six, and a quarter yards fifty-two inches wide if material has figure or nap; nine yards, twenty-seven, five and a half yards forty-four or five yards fifty- two inches wide if it has not. Gray and Red Ruches. Several of the best houses have launched very fetching neck ruches and muffs of soft fringed silk. Many wide frills of the silk are used, and at the front of the neckpiece and on the large muff are posed several big velvet and silk roses matching the silk and held by, dip knots of velvet ribbon with many ends and loops. These sets are shown in several of the fashionable grays and reds. Ambassadör Bryce is Versatille Ambassador Bryce is Versatile Not only has James Bryce, the new Ambassador from Great Britain, written one of the best books ever penned on the life and institutions of America, but he is sure of an even warmer welcome from the fact that he speaks throughout that great work in terms of warm admiration of the American woman. He is solid with both sides. And one may say that there is not a section in the community on whose welcome James Bryce has not some special claim. There is the great bulk of the nation, to which the American Commonwealth recommends him. To the Irish-Americans he comes as a stanch Home-Ruler, who never for a moment wavered in his convictions. To the German Americans he may proudly boast that he is an alumnus of Heidleberg, that he is a lifelong student of German literature, and history, that, in his first political campaign, he had the honor, shared by few British members of Parliament, of addressing the German electors of East London in their own Teutonic tongue. To the French, he can point to his splendid study of Charlemagne, in the Holy Roman Empire, and say that few historians have done more ample justice to the great reviver of the Roman Empire. The Italians should welcome him as a great student of Italy, from the days of Julius Caesar up to the present day. He may fraternize with the Swiss, if we have any among us, on the high ground that, for years, he was one of the most intrepid climbers of their lovely mountains, and is a former president of the Alpine Club. The Hungarians will remember, with a glow of satisfaction, that he has explored many of the remote corners of their beautiful kingdom. The Slavs know of him as a traveler in Poland. The Russians may recall, with admiring envy, that he has the honor of having climbed Mount Ararat, alone and unguided, while the dozen Cossacks and Kurds who made the start with him were loiling worn out on the lower slopes of the mountain. To Sandinavians, he may talk of his explorations in Iceland, where he trod in the footsteps of the daring Vikings of old, and his claim to have proceeded thence to America is better authenticated than that of Leif the Lucky or Eric the Red. Thus holding a claim on so many sections of our community, Mr. Bryce may still outstrip New British New British Ambassador. MILTON HON. JAMES BRYCE. this record, and point to the fact, which should endear him to twelve millions of our citizens not included in any of the above categories, that he has written a splendid work on Africa. When one thinks over the long list of this great man's achievements, of which we have mentioned only the fringe, one is reluctant to believe that a single mortal achieved it all unalided, and within the Biblical limit of three-score years and ten. James Bryce was born in Belfast, on May 10, 1838, and he may share with Lord Kelvin the honor of being the most distinguished son of the northern capital of Ireland. But unlike Lord Kelvin, Mr. Bryce has for a quarter of a century been a convinced Irish Home-Ruler. Sir William Crooks, who is credited with discovering a practical method of drawing nitrogen from the atmosphere and converting it into nitric acid and fertilizers—not a chemical manna dropped from the sky as a substitute for bread, but an economic means of doubling the fertility of the soil—is a modest man, content with searching after truth and too closely engrossed with his work to talk about it boastfully or to pretend that he has done anything remarkable. Fear of the alms of the German Emperor has again been roused in France, owing to the result of the elections in the Empire. Nitre From the Air.

When eating pie or cake, it may taste better when held in the fingers, but modern etiquette says that such practices belong to savages only, and that the proper method is to employ a fork.

It was announced by press dispatches from Hattiesburg, Miss, that a colored banker was assassinated one night this week on his way home. The assassin is unknown The Negro is capable of knowing something after all. Last week it was announced that a young colored man of Philadel phia stood the best examination and was awarded a Rhodes' scholarship. This is indeed encouraging. NEXT Friday will be Good Friday, a day devoutly observed by many of the followers of the low and meekly One, as the day that He met death upon the cross, followed by Holy Saturday and Easter Sundy, when there will be naught else but hosannas in praise of the risen Lord. THE real estate market in this county is very active. Those of our people who have any property should retain it and those who haven't any should arrange to make a purchase, especially in that section of the city where a good profit can be realized. Our young men especially should take hold of this great opportunity. THE summer months will soon be here when the excursion season will be opened, and hundreds of our people will be flocking here from every direction. We want to inform those who may come of the condition that now exist here especially as appertain to the trolley cars We want them to know that the colored men, women and children of Savannah, with the least taint of race pride, do not use the trolley cars and we desire our visitors doing likewise. THERE were many indignant persons the first part of the week when it was published that the police had stopped a colored funeral procession to demand a badge from the driver of the hearse. This indignant feeling was just. As soon as the report was made known, the chief of police was called up. He immediately investigated the matter, and it was soon found out that the police did not stop a procession but simply stopped a wagon belonging to an undertaking establishment, and which had no connection with a funeral procession, an act that no one can object to. THE TRIBUNE commends Mayor Tiedman and Chief of Police Austin for their inclination to investigate the complaints that are made. Jim Crow Protest To-morrow afternoon there will be a big mass meeting at the Masonic Temple under the auspices of the Chatham County Emancipation Association, in conjunction with the Men's Sunday Club, to urge our people not to patronize Lincoln Park in event of its opening. The members of the association are requested to meet at the Chatham Hall at 3 o'clock and march from thence to the Temple. Addresses will be made by well known speakers. It is expected to be a huge gathering and the protest against the enforcement of the present jim crow regulation on the street cars will be roundly condemned. A Well Organized Home For the Poor Badly Needed. The editor of THE TRIBUNE was caused to confront a condition that exists here that is not at all helpful to us as a race, and proves the need of a well organized home for the poor people of our race. A poor old colored man without any relatives or friends in the city, was sent to the Charity Hospital. As the trustees had no provision for the care of patients of this class, he was not allowed to remain. The old man had no place to go, and being blind he was indeed in a plituable condition. He was in the streets from Saturday to Tuesday without a place to stay and hardly anything to eat. He was told to call on the mayor for assist- ance, this he did, but was told that nothing could be done for him: The officials at the city hall sent him to our office. We made efforts to get a place for him, but several attempts were futile but finally he was taken to East Savannah. There are a number of our people who are suffering for the need of a proper place to live, and it is up to those of us who are in better positions to look after the indigent ones among us, and it can be done in no better way than by having a home set aside for them and properly managed. Pythian Period Celebration The annual Pythian Period observance of the Knights of Pythias will be on to-morrow afternoon at St. Philip Monumental Church. All of the lodges will assemble at Masonic Temple and will march in a body to the church. The ladies of the several Courts of Calanthe will meet in the basement of the church and march upstairs after the arrival of the lodges An appropriate program has been arranged and the several branches of the order will be represented by speakers. College Dots. Chancellor D. C. Barrow of the University of Georgia visited the College this week. We were all delighted to see him. In addressing the teachers and students the chancellor said "Great opportunities bring great responsibilities. The greater the opportunity to get an education the greater the responsibility of citizenship. Men are remembered after their death by the service they render humanity, not by the wealth they accumulate. Only two names of men of wealth were inscribed upon the walls in the Temple of Fame, Peter Cooper and George Peabody. These were not inscribed in the Temple of Fame on account of their wealth, but on account of their liberal donations for public benefaction. Prepare for service for it is only through service that you can help mankind and only through service will you be held with grateful memory by posterity." On account of the winter examinations, and other pressing duties, Prof. Work, will lecture on the 29th inst., instead of the 22nd. Mrs. D.C. Suggs, Mrs. Nocho, her mother and Miss Esther Suggs, arrived last week. Their many friends were delighted to see them. The Vice President is wearing a broad smile these days. Miss Esther is a pleasant addition to the young folks society. She is very congenial and is making friends rapidly. The Most Extravagant of Millionaresses "In the matter of spending money on fine ralment, perhaps Miss Guilla Morosini, daughter of G. P. Morosini, banker and former partner of Jay Gould is admittedly the most extravagant of million, alresses" says Anna Steese Richardson in Woman's Home Companion for March "She confesses that she spends two hundred thousand dollars a year on clothes alone, and her interest in life is divided between her horses and the gowns that match her turnouts, Miss Morosini's gowns are generally the sensation of the annual Horse Show at Madison Square Garden, and a daily study for sightseers along New York's million-dollar speedway. Every gown and hat she dons is built to harmonize with either vehicle or harness. To harmonize with one pigskin set of harness she wears a princess frock of tan-colored satin chiffon. For another pigskin harness, with blue satin rosettes and gold mountings, on chestnut horses, she wears a pale blue rough silk trimmed with Irish lace. Recently she decided that she wished to wear royal blue, so she sent to London for matching harness to be used when she drives with her famous three-a-breast team. The royal-blue harness is of finest kildskin dyed to match the broadcloth of her gown. Her basketweave vehicle has wheels of oxblood red, and when seated in this vehicle, Miss Morosini wears an onion-red chiffon satin. For each of these gowns she has matching hats and shoes, many of the latter dyed to order, but with every harness she uses lines of white English web, and she wears only white suede gloves in elbow lenth." St. Paul's Dots. Last Sunday was a high day at St. Paul O. M. E. Church. Bishop L. H. Holsey, D. D., of Atlanta, senior bishop of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church, in America preached at 11 o'clock to the glory of God and edification of the audience, from the subject "The ultimate triumph of the church" and from the text "No tongue that is formed against thee shall prosper" The gospel and the Bishops presence were greatly enjoyed by and edified the congregation. Rev. J. O. Calcoulough and his people are making elaborate preparation for the celebration of Easter. The Cantata which is to come off at 8 p. m. is really inviting. The subject of the occasion will be "The glory of the garden." At 11 o'clock a. m. the pastor will preach from the subject "The vell taken away in the resurrection." In connection with these services a very enthusiastic rally will be carried on all day in hope of raising one thousand dollars for the new church. The public is cordially welcomed. Second Baptist Church. Services are good and the congregation is rapidly building up. The pastor ran an excellent meeting in Darlen recently. The revival meeting will open Sunday (tomorrow) morning, the pastor will preach at both hours, morning subject "Entering the Promise'Land" Rev. E. G. Cole D. D. of St. Louis, Mo., will assist Dr. May in the meeting. The competitive rally was tween the brot hers and sisters will take place the first Sunday in April. One thousand cards are being put out to the members for the June rally, every solicitor's name will be on the card. The annual Thanksgiving sermon of the Sons of Eastville was preached here Sunday night. Great preparations are being made for Easter. This Bally Beeord Breaker There are rallies and grand rallies galore. There is noting in churchcirule more popular as a means of raising moneys at stated intervals than what is known in every mission point and in every station as "rally" or "grand rally" day. The apallation, though prevalent and universal is happily not overworked, as Dr. J. A. Lindsay, the magnetic and wide awake pastor, and his people of new St. Philip A. M. E. Church, Savannah, Ga., beg leave to report. The report is not one of the "doctored" or inflated kind, but represents the rounded returns of a busy pastor and people in interest of the new and modern house of worship soon to be erected on their well located church site. Two thousand five hundred dollars raised in hard cash at a single Sunday's effort-sapsaks volumes of credit to any pastor and people. And yet this was done by pastor Lindsay and his membership and friends two Sunday ago. This young churchman has distinguished himself as a preacher, evangelist, presiding elder, in fact at every port wherever assigned but it will likely surprise the connectional public to know that he is entitled to the "blue ribbon" for raising the largest amount on a single occasion, in the South at least—Christian Recorder.

Allcock's Plasters have successfully stood the test of sixty years' use by the public; their virtues have never been equaled by the unscrupulous imitators who have sought to trade upon the reputation of Allcock's by making plasters with holes in them, and claiming them to be "just as good as Allcock's." Allock's Plasters stand to-day indorsed by not only the highest medical authorities, but by millions of grateful patients who have proved their efficacy as a household remedy. Many a fellow is contented because he is too lazy to make a kick. THREE BOYS HAD ECZEMA Were Treated at Dispensary—Did Not Improve—Suffered 5 Months—Perfect Cure by Cuticura. "My three children had eczema for five months. A little sore would appear on the head and seemed very itchy, increasing day after day.

For the first three months I took them to the N—Dispensary, but they did not seem to improve. Then used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, and in a few weeks they had improved, and when their heads were well you could see nothing of the sores. Mrs. Kate Keim, 513 West 29th St., New York, N.

It is no wonder my kidneys gave out and I went all to pieces at last. For five years I was fading away, and finally so weak that for six months I could not get out of the house. I was nervous, restless and sleepless at night, and lame and sore in the morning. Sometimes everything would whirl and blur before me. I bloated so badly I could not wear tight clothing, and had to put on shoes two sizes larger than usual. The urine was disordered and passages were readfully frequent. I got help from the first box of Doan's Kidney Pills," however, and by the time I had taken four boxes the pain and bloating was gone. I have been in good health ever since."

Well-Meant Efforts For Enlightenment and Reciprocity. Peculiar views of the West and of Western people are cherished in the East and reflected in newspapers, magazines and even in pretentious books. Regarding these peculiar views the Western reader assumes various attitudes. One of the serious, yet good-humored, positions is illustrated in these paragraphs from an editorial in the Modeto (Cal.) Evening News: A typical Westerner who knows the transmississippi country from Manitoba to the Rio Grande, from Seattle to Omaha, by reason of thirty-five years of intimate rubbing against the West, the real West, not the West of the magazines, says: "Why don't you Western newspaper men and Western writers generally, say something about the kind of yawp that is published about us in the East? The stuff that is designed to make us out to be strange and different from the rest of the human race, and our fellow-Americans particularly. It makes me slick." Then the Western man showed a magazine picture of the President of the United States with a bearskin cap on his head, a hendrichief about his neck, befringed buckskin "pants," and an assortment of hardware in his belt. That picture was funny. It showed that Roosevelt is not a Westerner, never was, and never will be. Nobody but the Easterner ever has his picture taken in a get-up like that. The Westerner puts on storehes. Buckskins and a boltful of shooting irons have no more to do with the West now than a bell-shaped "plug" hat and a high stock have to do with New York. William Allen White, Owen Wister, Frederick Remington, and Roosevelt himself, and all that bunch of Easterners who feed the Eastern mind are responsible for this. They come West, bury themselves in some God-forsaken cow ranch, relic of the '70s—cow ranch that is no more representative of the West than Fulton's steamboat is of a motor boat on the Hudson, and then, ever after, the White-Wister-Roosevelt literature is chuck-ablock with wisdom. We of the West are tired of being discovered. The White-Wister-Remington sharps blow out here, hunt up some hairy, moth-eaten individual who lives up a creek with a few cows and a "71 model 44, and straightaway throw up their hats in the air and yell: "Here he is—that's it!" Then the literary, sharp write to the magazine and tell us how to throw a diamond hitch, build a grass fire, and spell "sure" with an h. There are several millions of us here who are not long-haired, nor profane, nor given to gambling, to whom hairy "chaps" and leather cow clothes are merely ill-smelling relics of history; and who occasionally get into eyecying clothes and go to "shows." But you couldn't get the Easterner to believe it. And the magazines dare not admit it. The New York-Boston literary bunch couldn't stand for it; they must nose around and smell sweat, hair and leather before they are convinced that they are across the Missouri. That's what makes the Western man amused. When the President of the United States is himself photographer in "chaps," and with his abundant cutlery on, the Western man has to laugh. The man with the hairy "pants" is about as much a curiosity in the West as he is to the six-months' tourist from Yonkers. It must be that the Eastern literary sharp gets his funny ideas from people like C. F. Lummis, of Los Angeles, who is addicted to leather and corduroys, and Joaquin Miller, of Oakland, who has his monogram worked on his boot-straps. It might be illuminating to the unsuspecting Eastern writer to know that the West regards Lummis' gay get-up and Joaquín Miller's roseate boot-straps with vast amusement—such as it gives to Roosevelt's bad imitation of that freak-o-'nature, the Magazine Western Man. Mining in the Deep, Blue Sea. The search for the treasure of the Spanish Armada galleon Florencia is being proceeded with vigorously in Tobermory Bay, Scotland, and the salvors have been encouraged by their finds. Part of the rigging of the sunken ship has already been found. Among other interesting relics brought up were two stone cannon balls, six and a half inches in diameter, one iron shot of about two inches in diameter and a blunderbuss with an inch bore. The divers have come across large quantities of wood in all directions and other unmistakable signs that they are close on the hull of the Florencia. Vendetta in Algeria. A determined Arab vendetta has just run its murderous course at Permana, in Algeria. A man named Fared-ben-Alissa had determined to kill a fellow resident of one of the mountain villages, named Hussein-alibaa Ahmed, and never went abroad without his gun. The other day the two men, both carrying loaded guns, met face to face in a quiet spot in the mountains. Instantly Fared drew his weapon to his shoulder and fired. Hussein fell, but rising, rapidly got his own shot in. Fared in turn falling with a shattered thigh. He managed, however, to nerve himself for a second and Hussein fell dead with his chest shattered. Fared will have to undergo amputation of the leg — London Globe. FOR THE FARMER AND STOCKMAN Feed Liberally. No man can succeed in raising stock if he begrudges them their food. It is the liberal feeder, who uses a due amount of judgment, that gets the big returns. to a field that has grass, wheat rye tall enough to hide the little on and when about one week old I for them once a day on cornbread un they get up a little size and then for them grain in small quantity un Clover Hay Makes a Good Feed. Quite a number of farmers have found out by experience that a nice, fragrant clover hay of good quality will, oftentimes fatten an animal fully as fast as all the grain it can eat when the grain is fed in conjunction with over-ripe, badly-cured hay. Importance of the Sire... Those who make a specialty of breeding stock that is right up to the handle in every respect agree one and all that the sire is of the utmost importance. This ought to be an excellent lesson to the farmer, showing that he should not breed his females to whatever animal is the bestiest or cheapest.—New York Witness. Seeding Pastures. Sow some annual and biennial grasses with the perennials for permanent pasture, especially if the soil is wanting in richness and moisture. The perennials will make but little herbage for two or three years, because their first efforts are to establish strong roots. Annuals, on the contrary, make but little roots; their growth is chiefly above the ground, and what remains of them supplies some food and shelter for the biennials and perennials.—The Epitomist. Don't Frighten the Cows. Don't frighten the cows. No man who owns a cow can afford to have her afraid of him. It is a loss to the owner every time she is frightened. To run a cow to pasture is throwing money away. The cow is a milk making machine, and should be kept in the best working condition, and this condition is one of quiet. A cow in any way worried will not do her best. Make pets of the cows, and they will make money for the owner. The milk of a frightened or chased cow is poisonous. The moral is obvious—never allow your cow to be maltreated if it can be avoided. Copperas and Line Wash A writer in the Scientific American says he has cleared his premises of rats and other vermin by making whitewash yellow with copperas and covering the stones and rafters in the cellar with it. In every crevice in which a rat might go he put the copperas, and scattered it in the corners of the floor. The result was a complete disappearance of rats and mice. Since that time not a rat or a mouse has been seen near the house. Every spring the cellar is coated with the yellow whitewash as a purifier and a rat exterminator, and no typhoid, dysentery or fever attack the family. Profits in Horse Raising. Opinions are still plenty to the effect that the profit in horse raising is much over-estimated. It will, however, be difficult to convince Luther Parson, of Parkhurst, says the Maline Farmer, that he is not considerably to the good in his account with horse raising in the case of a colt recently sold. The animal was less than two years old, a grade Percheron from a high-class sire and a common farm mare for its dam. The colt cost but little more to raise than a two-year-old steer or heifer, but it sold for $250. Still the talk for the speed "hoss" goes on so loud and continuous that the real profit makers are well-night forgotten when the breeding season comes round. Winter Protection For Orchards. One of the most important points in preparing bearing apple trees for winter, in my opinion, is to remove all rubbish that may afford shelter for mice or other vermin. Be sure there are no deactivities at the immediate base of the tree. A. slight mounding is good. At all events, leave no hollows that will hold, water to freeze at times of sudden falls in temperature, thereby greatly damaging trees. If mice or rabbits are feared, protect with wire netting. Cut with shears into proper sites, roll around an old broomstick, or any round object, to give it a circular shape, the stick removed and the wire will spring around the trunk and hold itself in place. See that all drains are in good order.—H. D. Lewis, Dutchess County, N. Y., in the Farmers' Home Journal. How I Raise Turkeys. Every spring I rid my turkeys of lice before they go to laying, and when they go to laying I find the nests, and if securely hidden so that crows will not be apt to get the eggs I do not touch them, and if not hid secure I either place something over the nest for a blind or take out the eggs and put hems' eggs in their place until the hen goes to setting and has set two or three days; then I remove the hen eggs and place the turkey eggs in the nest. Keep the date of the setting and look after them when hatching, as they sometimes leave the nest before the eggs are hatched. After they are hatched I move them to a field that has grass, wheat or rye tall enough to hide the little ones, and when about one week old I feed them once a day on cornbread until they get up a little size and then feed them grain in small quantity until frost; then feed them all they want, three times per day. The one essential thing in raising turkey's is to keep them free from lice.—Geo. B. Lucas, in the Indiana Farmer. Storing Potatoes. The early fall is the time to store potatoes for the winter, and for those not possessing warm cellars, it will be necessary to fall back to the use of the potato pit. These are very simple to make if rightly understood. Select a high and dry spot; make an excavation, a foot or more in depth, put the potatoes in a round, conical heap; or if very many, in a long heap with a ridge. Cover with straw or similar material. The covering may be eight inches or a foot thick, depending on the severity of the winters. Next begin covering with soil, from the bottom up. The layer of soil may be six inches or more in depth. Leave the top uncovered for a few days, and, when finishing the cover, leave a bunch of straw sticking out of the top for ventilation, and cover this with an inverted pan; or if a ridge, by a trough the shape of an inverted V. When real cold weather sets in, cover the whole plint with coarse manure thickly enough to exclude frost. If all this is done, potatoes will be housed cheaply and safely—Gilbert Allen, Madison County, Indiana, in Farmers' Home Journal. Small Farms Pay. If the owner of a small farm brings to his work the business capacity and good judgment which the large land-owner does, it is evident that, proportioned to the acres cultivated, he will have the most money at the end of the year. Hired help is not only expensive, but at times very uncertain and unreliable, but a man's own hands, with a heart in his work, which seldom accompanies hired help, are always available for every little detail on which success depends. Many men will do more with ten acres and get more out of and from them than others will with a hundred. It requires as much labor, however, for the ten as the hundred. It is intelligent labor and good management that count on a farm, hence it is that small farms pay the best, and that large farmers continually complain that there is no money in farming. To our way of thinking, and we are familiar with every department of farm business, and measurably so with the city, there is no enterprise one can engage in which offers better opportunities for a healthful, independent and successful life than a moderate sized farm under good management.—Weekly Witness. Farm Notes. Let the boys have some fun trying to grow some of those odd kinds of vegetables this year. Have apples in cases come to stay? We think so, at least for the early kinds sent to foreign markets. Half an hour a day of solid study on farm topics will make a well-informed farmer in a very few years. Loafing in the grocery store to swap gossip and expectorate upon the stove will not pay off the mortgage. Mulching rose bushes now with stable manure and leaves is a good way to insure a large crop of roses next summer. The really satisfactory hired man is hard to get. When you find him, keep him, even if you have to raise his pay a little every year. A friend who owns a large and fine apple orchard tells us that wrapping the trees with burlap, old sacks, is an entire protection against rabbits. There are lots of important subjects to study up during the winter. The benefits of having a silo, better breeding, feeding and finding out the unprofitable cows are among the most prominent. Says an old farmer: "Those who are making the most money nowadays are the cranberry growers and the men who have rood apple orchards." To raise cranberries takes capital and to grow an orchard takes time; but they are big money crops. Most of the principles of modern dairying have been established for ten or fifteen years. Alleged discoveries are often nothing, but a rehash of the same old ideas. Not much is new, but much remains to be done in spreading the simple truth already known.—American Cultivator. Only 19.62 per cent. of the Christian population in Prussia live in cities of over 100,000 inhabitants, whereas, of the Jews 55.06 per cent live in those cities.

Hancock's Liquid Sulphur enables you to get the full benefit in most convenient form. Don't take sulphur "tablets" or "wafers," or powdered sulphur in molasses. Hancock's Liquid Sulphur is pleasant to take and perfect in its action. Druggists sell it. A well known citizen of Danville, Pa., writes: "I have had an aggravated case of Eczema for over twenty-five years. I have used seven 50-cent bottles of the Liquid, and one jar of your Hancock's Liquid Sulphur Ointment, and now I feel as though I had a brand new pair of hands.

Following President Finley's plain talk to the representatives of the freight and passenger departments of the Southern Railway recently as to the proper treatment of the public by employees of the road, another step has been taken by that company in the direction of bring about better relations with the people making shipments over its lines. Mr. A. H.

To secure the prompt handling and settlement of all fair and honest loss, damage and overcharge freight claims against the company. 2. To give assurance of this to the patrons of the company by prompt, courteous and efficient attention to their rights. 3.

He was so busy with his practice, however, that his wife had to write how he fooled his brother, a clergyman, one day at dinner. She says; "Doctor found coffee was injuring him and decided to give Postum a trial, and we have used it now for four years with continued benefit. In fact, he is now free from the long train of lills that follow coffee drinking. "To show how successful we are in making Postum properly, I will relate an incident. At a dinner we gave, doctor suggested that we serve Postum instead of ordinary coffee. "Doctor's brother, a clergyman, supposed it was old fashioned coffee and remarked, as he called for his second cup. 'If you do preach against coffee I see you haven't forgotten how to make it.'" This goes to show that well-made—fully boiled—Postum has much the flavor and richness of good coffee although it has an individuality all its own. A ten days' trial will prove that it has none of the poisonous effect of ordinary coffee but will correct the troubles caused by coffee. "There's a reason." Name furnished by Postum Co.

We are still of the same opinion, unless there Is a good hard road on which a load can be hauled. The following from the Times- ‘Union gives another editor's view of the matter: , Florida’s two greatest needs ate good roads and immigrants. Good roads would do much to secure im- . migrants, and the class that would be most influenced by them fs the very best. An Ignorant, thoughtless nian will not appreciate the differ- ence that hard roads make in the value of property. The wideawake, progressive man understands the dif- ference. We have railroads all through Florida, but a vast amount of energy is wanted or time, valuable in money, lost in getting products to the rail- way stations. It is safe to say that if the farmers would make a careful estimate of the time consumed in hauling their products to the rail- roads or in hauling their supplies from them they would find that this costs them as much as‘their railway transportation. With good roads it would not cost half so much. Suppose some measure Were before the people ot Florida that would savé them halt the cost of transportation both ways. They would work for Its ac- complishment. They would spend much more money for it than it Would cost to cover the State with a network of good roads, The producer who is tar from a railroad cannot compete with one who is near. It would cost less to haul products ten miles over a hard road than five miles over one deep in sand, The effect of good roads then would be to practically bring each man nearer to town—nearer to his shipping. point. One million dol- Jars a year could profitably be spent in Florida tm making permanent roads in addition te the repair wok done: New Implement For Road Making. A patent was granted to William L. Baker for a machine fer improving gravel and dirt roads. This machine 4s destined, it is said, to revolution- ize road making in this country. An effort is being made in the rural dis- tricts to induce farmers to improre the roads along their own premises without charging their time to the township. When this is done there will be good roads, as it is possible for every mile of road in the State 0 be improved in one week if all se the drag. It is said that the wnship trustees are willing to fur- ish this simple’ machine in sufficient lnantitfes for all, if the people will agree to use them.

The drag Sis said to worl: equally well on clay, “gumbo, sand or gravel. This ma- chine costs but a trifle, fifteen dollars, and it will practically last for years. The process of making an improved ‘surface on a road by dragging is not new, as it has been tried and found ‘an admirable plan, but this machine is mew, and, no doubt, solves the problem of good roads for the future. Something must be done if the people would retain their rural mail deliv- ‘ery, and the rural carriers who are traveling a million miles a day on the ‘rural routes think that Mr. Baker has .solved the problem.

The effects’ on-the nerves that control them are equally bad. They lose their power of responding vividly. They cannot be relied upon to do expert work. President G. Stanley Hall. of Clark University, calls the flabby muscle the chasm between willing and doing. Enough exercise, then, to keep the muscles of the body firm:.and sensi- tive is what we aim at. For a mar whose chief business in life ts hard work, there fs Iittle to be gained im building up muscular tissue beyond that point. He may do it for recrea-, tion if he likes; but that is a different matter. Many of us come to dislike the thought of exercise. The very word suggests conscientious and disagree- able quarter-hours spent with.dumb- bells or pulley-weights in the solitude of one’s apartment, or, worse yet, om the floor of a gymnasium. Therez fore, I do not propose an elaborate system of private gymnastics. If a man forces himself to carry om exer~ cise simply because he thinks it’s bis duty, more than half {ts benefits are lost. For a really valuable exercise 4s one which reaches beyond the mus- cles and the digestive organs; it braces up and stimulates the mind. When a man fs being bored ta death, he is not deriving the most. benefit from his occupation, even though that occupation may be a strenuous half-hour of chest weights, The kind of exercise that hits the mark is the kind a man likes for its own sake: and the kind a man likes for {ts own sake has something of the, play-spirit in it—the life and go of ai good game. It will give a chance for- some rivalry, a definite goal tb aim: at. a point to win; something, in- other words, to enlist his interest and? arouse his enthusiasm. 7 x The good a man gets out of a brisk horseback ride in the park is some- thing more than what comes simply, from the activity of his muscular sys- tem or from the effect of the con~ stant jolting upon the digestive or~ sans. There is the stimulus to the whole system which comes from his filling his Jungs with fresh, out-of- door air. There {s the exhilaration of sunshine and biue sky and of the wind on the skin. There is the ex- citement of controlling a restive ani~ mal. “All this makes the phenonienon. a complex “one—something muck larger than the mere term exercise would imply. A‘man could sit on a mechanical Lorse in a gymnasium’ and be jolted all day without getting’ any of these larger effects. t Exercise should not be too severe. Many ambitious people injure them- selves through trying to accomplish too much along'this line. Where the. mind is already tired the body car only lose by a few moments of violent: exertion, Exercise breaks down tis- sue, exhausts nerve energy. If any good is to be gaincd from it this body waste must be repaired. “But when the system is already exhaust- ed, it cannot afford an additional ex- penditure. A city man with a con- science is {n danger of making toa hard work of his exercise when he takes it at all. - Tennis {s a game tirat nervous, ex~ citable, overworked people like to play. They ought to avoid it. 1t works them too hard ‘and too fast. Instead of resting theni it wears them out, 2 There. is no better otdoor exer- elise for a gity man than a game of _ golf. The alternate’activity and rest that it provides for, the deep breath- ing caused by the necessary hilt climbing, the soctapility of the game —all these are admirable features. Rowing, paddiing, bowling, tramping —any form of recreation that brings a variety of physical exertion and that appeals to a man’s interest and enthuslasm—belong in the class of A-1” exercises. 1A splendid exercise is deep breath ing. Adter your breakfast and lunchy , 4s you are walking on the street, breathe just.as deeply as you can ten times in succession. Then breathe normally for a minute. Then take fen more deep breaths. Do this four. or five times’ the first day and in- crease it by one round every day, until you are, taking f-om 300 to 400 Jeep breaths dally as a regular habit. This consumes no time.

CULPRITS NOW WANTED Tangitle Clew is at Last Unearthed by Committee at Washington Investigating "Shooting Up" A Washington dispatch says: Four rules from Company B, Twenty-Fifth infantry, were used in the Brownsville affray, if the ordinance department of the army can substantiate reports sent to the senate committee on military affairs. Monday concerning the microscopic examinations of the thirty-three shells picked up in the streets of the town on the morning following the shooting. All of the riffles in the possession of the battalion at Fort Brown on the night of August 13 were sent to the Springfield arsenal, and two shots were fired from each. The shells used were then compared with those picked up at Brownsville, and the officers making the tests reported that it has been demonstrated beyond dispute that four guns of Battery B were used in discharging all of the thirty-three shells. The reports were made a part of the committee records, and Lieutenant Hawkins, of the ordnance department, and C. A. Spooner, expert inspector of gauges, used in the manufacture of muskets at the Springfield arsenal, are ready to go on the stand to explain their reports and be cross-examined concerning them. Two of Company B's rifles, said to have been used in the affray, were kept in the store house under lock, the key of which was in the possession of Former Quarternaster Sergeant Walker McCurdy, and the other two rifles were said to have been issued to Privates John L. Wilson and Thomas Taylor. Senator Foraker immediately had subpenas issued for Taylor and Wilson, and for the recall of McCurdy. He also asked that the war department be instructed to send for Lieutenant Laurison, who commanded Company B at the time of the affray. Secretary Taft, in a letter to the committee, pointed out that the men who did the shooting may have used any guns they could secure, and that Taylor and Wilson cannot be held to be guilty because of the showing made by the tests at the arsenal. No members of the Twenty-Fifth infantry were examined at Monday's session, and no direct bearing on the shooting except that of Henry Watson, a private of company M. Twenty-sixth infantry. He testified that he was left behind as a guard at the post when the Twenty-Sixth infantry moved out, and that he saw loose shells of both the Krag and Springfield type lying about the barracks. He said that he also saw 38-caliber revolver ammunition lying around, and that the barracks were open so that citizens could secure access to this ammunition. On cross-examination he admitted that it was always easy for soldiers to secure extra ammunition if they desired it. The committee took up the question of going to Brownsville in connection with the investigation. It was decided that it probably will be necessary to visit Brownsville, but no action was taken towards fixing a time for the trip. DELEGATES FROM GEORGIA Appointed by Governor to Attend Meeting for Canal Discussion. Governor Terrell has named twenty-five well known Georgians to attend the convention of the Progressive Union of New Orleans, which meets in that city on March 25. The convention is to be composed of Southern and gulf coast states and the relation of this territory to the new Panama canal is to be discussed fully. GEORGIA TROOPS ARE CALLED. Four Batteries of Artillery and Four Infantry Companies Wanted. A Washington dispatch says: The governor of Georgia has been requested by the war department to designate, from among the state militia, four batteries of heavy artillery to act as coast artillery reserves, and four companies of infantry to act as supports for the coast defenses at Savannah. These troops are invited to go to Fort Screven in July and receive instructions. FANCY PRICE FOR CONVICTS. State of Alabama Gets $43 Fer Month from Lumber Company.

Negro Attacked Woman and Killed Her Two-Months-Old Baby When She Escaped to Give Alarm. Mrs. Jamts Tolbert, wife of former Mayor Tolbert, was brutally assassilled and her two-months-old infant murdered by a negro at 6:30 o'clock Monday afternoon at their home at Fairmount twenty miles from Cartersville, Ga. When the negro appeared at the Tolbert home he demanded $50 of Mrs. Tolbert. Upon being refused he told her it was that or her life. She attempted to reach an adjoining room, where her two-months-old infant was sleeping, when the ncro seized her and tore her clothes in an effort to detain her. She could not reach the baby and escaped from the house in her weakened condition to give the alarm. The Tolbert house is only a short distance from the business center of the town, and in a little while a crowd had collected and proceeded to the house, where they found that the scoundred had almost severed the head, of the sleeping infant with a knife. Mr. Tolbert was at his place of business at the time. The whole country is being scoured in an effort to aprehend the assailant, who is described as being a mutilate, with burnsides, weighing about 160 pounds, and five feet ten inches tall, wearing blue overalls. Within a short time four negroes had been captured, suspected of the crime. Two were captured over the state line in Tennessee. Another at Marfetta, Ga., and still another at Elowah, sixty miles from Fairmount, they will be held for identification. It may be that the assailant is an exconvict. The Bartow county convict overseer says he released a negro from the gang some time ago that fills the description. DEADLY THREE-CORNERED DUEL Two Men Killed and the Other Fatally Wounded. H. I. Chamberlaine, superintendent of the mines of the Crescent Coal Company at Sloca, Ala, is dead, Joe Creek, a miner, is also deal and Will Creek, his brother, is dying as the result of a three-cornered pistol fight at the mines Monday afternoon. The two miners had been drinking and were creating a disturbance at the country store. Mr. Chamberlaine tried to quiet them, when Joe Creek fired upon him, knocking his hat from his head and knocking him down. While he was down Creek fired a second shot, which resulted in Mr. Chamberlaine's death in a Birmingham hospital several hours later. While mortally wounded and lying on the ground, Chamberlaine pulled his pistol and fired several shots, one of which killed Joe Creek and fatally injured his brother Will. JEWS FORCED TO REFUGEE.

Grand Master Butler continues to add new lodges to the roll. Another lodge has been organized in Atlanta, which gives the Gate City eight strong lodges. Savannah can afford another one at least. Cable Tow. The word "tow" signifies, properly, a line wherewith to draw. Richardson (Dict) defines it as "that which tuggeth, or with which we tug, or draw." A cable tow is a rope or line for drawing or leading. The word is purely Masonic, and in some of the writers of the early part of the last century we find the expression "cable rope." Prichard so uses it in 1730. The German word for a cable or rope is babellau, and thence on cable tow is properly derived. In its inception, the cable tow seems to have been used only as a physical means of controlling the candidate, and such an interpretation is still given in the Entered Apprentice's degree. But in the second and third degree a more modern symbolism has been introduced, and the cable tow is in these grades supposed to symbolize the covenant by which all Masons are tied, thus reminding us of the passage in Hosea (xl. 1), "I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love" Gadicke says that, according to the ancient laws of Freemasonry, every brother must attend his lodge if he is within the length of his cable tow." The old writers define the length of a cable tow, which they some times called "a cable's length," to be three miles for an Entered Apprentice. Put the expression is really symbolic and as it was defined by the Baltimore Convention in 1842 means the scope of a man's reasonable ability.

N a farmhouse in one of the New England states a case of scarlet fever unexpectedly developed not long ago. On seeking for its origin the physician found that some old cotton quilts, laid away in the garret for years, had recently been taken down and aired and put to use by the family. These bed coverings, it was remembered, had been put away after a siege of this disease. This is only one of many instances that could be related, to show how long the infectious agent retains its vitality, and how common a thing it is for scarlet fever to be disseminated by bedding and other objects. These quilts should have been burned as soon as the first patients had recovered. The children of a certain physician were one day allowed to unlock an antique secretary that had not been opened for years. In it they found tresses of hair that had been cut from the heads of children who had died 20 years before of scarlet fever. In a few days they were stricken with this dread disease. The ease with which this disease is disseminated is appalling. It has been known to be spread to a neighboring house simply from the airing of bed clothing in a window. Infected clothing should never be washed with any other. The disease has been transmitted in this way. A bouquet of flowers that was sent from a scarlet fever room to a hospital carried the disease.—Good Housekeeping. YOUR CHANCE. Many stand back and say, "I can never get a chance."
